The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes an out port 34. In the present embodiment, the game balls that have not entered the first starting port 26, the second starting port 27, and the large winning opening 29 are discharged to the outside from the out port 34 (discharging from the game board 20 to the outside). Will be). The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes game components such as nails (game nails) and windmills for changing the behavior of a game ball flowing down the game area 21. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be provided with a general winning opening in which the conditions for starting the special game and the conditions for starting the normal game are not satisfied, while the conditions for paying out the prize balls are satisfied. The general winning opening is also called the ordinary winning opening.

Next, in the present embodiment, the route through which the game ball flows down will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of routes according to the firing intensity of the gaming ball as a route through which the gaming ball flows down in the gaming area 21. The route through which the game ball flows down can also be grasped as an area in which the game ball flows down. The plurality of routes include a first route R1 that passes through the left side of the center frame 23 to the out port 34 and a second route R2 that passes through the right side of the center frame 23 to reach the out port 34. The first path R1 and the second path R2 may be partially overlapped or may not be completely overlapped. Hereinafter, the area located on the left side of the center line CL that bisects the game area 21 to the left and right when the game board 20 is viewed from the front is referred to as the left side area R1a, and the area located on the right side of the center line CL is on the right side. It is shown as region R2a. The route flowing down the left side region R1a corresponds to the first route R1, and the route flowing down the right side region R2a corresponds to the second route R2.

Then, the player operates the launch handle 16 to adjust the launch intensity of the game ball, thereby hitting the game ball into the left side region R1a and the right side region R2a, and the starting ports 26, 27, the big winning opening 29, and the gate. It is possible to insert a game ball into 31. Specifically, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the firing intensity to be weak (so-called left-handed), the game ball is likely to be guided down to the left side region R1a and may enter the first starting port 26. There is. On the other hand, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the firing intensity to be stronger (so-called right-handed), the game ball is easily guided down to the right side region R2a, and the second starting port 27, the big winning opening 29, and the gate 31 There is a possibility of entering the ball. That is, it can be said that the first starting port 26 is on the first path R1, the second starting port 27, the big winning opening 29, and the gate 31 are on the second path R2.

When flowing down on the first path R1, the game ball is less likely to enter the second starting port 27, the big winning opening 29, and the gate 31 than when flowing down on the second path R2. When flowing down on the second path R2, the game ball is less likely to enter the first starting port 26 than when flowing down on the first path R1. In the present specification, launching a game ball so that the game ball flows down on the first path R1 is referred to as "left-handed", and launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down on the second path R2. This may be referred to as "right-handed".

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)", and the low probability state is a "non-probability fluctuation state (non-probability change state)". Hereinafter, the high-probability state is referred to as a “probability-changing state”, and the low-probability state is referred to as a “non-probability-changing state”.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of fired game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the "non-electric support state". The high base state has a higher advantage in terms of entering the ball into the second starting port 27 than the low base state.

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing a control of one arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol that changes the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery (ordinary winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes a control that increases the number of times the first variable member 28 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the above longer than that in the low base state.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a high base state is realized by performing "opening time extension control" which is the third system of the first control to the third control. For example, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal game in the high base state is the same as the fluctuation time of the normal game in the low base state. In the present embodiment, the normal hit probability in the high base state is the same as the normal hit probability in the low base state. In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game in the high base state is the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game in the low base state. Longer than the total opening time.

Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, which makes it easier for the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) to be shorter than in the low base state. When the fluctuation time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes the so-called "variation time shortening state (variation shortening state)".

In the present embodiment, since the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter the second starting port 27 even in the low base state. There is. However, in the low base state, for example, the first variable member 28 is not opened in the low base state, for example, so as not to win the normal winning lottery, and the game is played in the second starting port 27. It may be configured so that the ball does not enter. In addition, when the base is in a low base state, for example, the first variable member 28 is configured so as not to be in the open state even if the normal winning lottery is won, so that the game ball does not enter the second starting port 27. It may be configured as. In the case of the above configuration, the low base state means that the game ball cannot enter the second starting port 27, and the high base state means that the game ball can enter the second starting port 27. I can say.

The gaming state (type of gaming state) includes a non-probability state and a low base state, a non-probability state and a high base state, and a probabilistic state and a low base state. There is a certain gaming state and a gaming state which is a probabilistic state and is a high base state. Then, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of gaming states. In the present embodiment, as a general rule, there are a gaming state that is a non-probable change state and a low base state, a gaming state that is a non-probable change state and is a high base state, and a probable change state and a high base state. It is controlled to a gaming state and one of the gaming states. Hereinafter, the gaming state in which the non-probability state is the low base state is the "normal game state", the game state in which the non-probability change state is the high base state is the "low probability time saving state", and the probabilistic state is the high base. The gaming state, which is a state, is referred to as a "high accuracy time saving state". In the present embodiment, the normal gaming state corresponds to the first state, and the low probability time saving state corresponds to the second state. That is, in the present embodiment, the gaming state includes a first gaming state and a second gaming state. The low probability time saving state is a high base state, while the normal gaming state is a low base state. Then, the low probability time saving state has a higher advantage regarding the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 27 than the normal game state. That is, in the present embodiment, the second gaming state has a higher advantage in terms of entering the ball into the specific starting port than the first gaming state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the high base state includes a first high base state and a second high base state. The opening mode of the first variable member 28 when the normal hit game is given in the first high base state is the opening mode of the first variable member 28 when the normal hit game is given in the second high base state. Different from. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a normal hit game is given in the first high base state, the second starting port 27 is opened for 1.5 seconds and then the second starting port 27 is closed for 1 second. After that, the second starting port 27 is opened for 3 seconds. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the normal hit game is given in the second high base state, the second starting port 27 is opened for 5 seconds. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the normal hit game is given in the low base state, the second starting port 27 is opened for 0.32 seconds. As described above, in the second high base state, the total time for opening the second starting port 27 in one normal hit game is longer than in the first high base state. , It can be said that the advantage regarding entering the ball into the second starting port 27 is high. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enters the second starting port 27 after the normal hit game is given, the second starting port 27 is not opened for the above-mentioned time. Even if this is the case, since the normal hit game ends in the middle, the time when the second start port 27 is opened in the above-mentioned normal hit game corresponds to the maximum time.

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as jackpot symbols of special symbols. The plurality of types of jackpot symbols are classified into a first jackpot symbol and a second jackpot symbol.

Set to flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first state command) that can identify the first high base state in the output buffer. Similarly, when the main CPU 40a controls to the second high base state even in the high base state, a value that can be specified to be controlled to the second high base state is stored in the main RWM40c. Set to a specific flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second state command) that can identify the second high base state in the output buffer.

The specific control in the game state processing will be described later. By the way, when the big hit game is given, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the non-probability change state in the probability state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state as the base state. Set to flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the low probability state command in the output buffer and stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, a normal symbol input process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 31 based on whether the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a determines whether the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c is less than the upper limit number. When the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the normal hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a updates by adding 1 to the normal hold number stored in the main RWM40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated normal hold number. Further, the main CPU 40a stores a normal hold number command capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer. Next, the main CPU 40a acquires the random numbers generated in the main board 40, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random numbers in the main RWM40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information for a normal game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. After that, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution conditions of the normal game are satisfied. The main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when neither the normal hit game nor the normal game is in progress, while the main CPU 40a makes a negative judgment when the normal hit game is in progress or the normal game is in progress. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main CPU 40a determines whether the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c is 1 or more. When the normal number of pending numbers is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is 1 or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the normal hold number stored in the main RWM 40c to update. Further, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated normal hold number is displayed. The main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal hold number command that can specify the normal hold number after the update. Next, the main CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main RWM40c among the random number information for the normal game. When the main CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main RWM40c. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a performs a normal hit lottery based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. Then, the main CPU 40a determines the normal symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game based on the lottery result of the normal winning lottery. After that, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

Then, the main CPU 40a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main CPU 40a starts the normal game, and when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses, the information display is performed so that the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is fixedly stopped and displayed. Control the panel 22. Further, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information that can identify that the execution of the normal game is started when the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal hit processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal winning lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game is completed. Specifically, the main CPU 40a determines an opening pattern that opens the second starting port 27 for 0.32 seconds when the base is in a low base state. Further, the main CPU 40a determines an opening pattern in which the second starting port 27 is opened for 1.5 seconds, closed for 1 second, and then opened for 3 seconds when in the first high base state. Further, the main CPU 40a determines an opening pattern for opening the second starting port 27 for 5 seconds in the second high base state. Then, after determining the opening pattern, the main CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second starting port 27 is opened according to the determined opening pattern. Further, even while the second starting port 27 is being opened according to the opening pattern, the main CPU 40a enters the second starting port 27 with a predetermined upper limit number of game balls after the normal hit game is given. When the ball is hit, the normal hit game is ended.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 41a based on the control program will be described.
When the sub-CPU 41a inputs a low-probability state command, the sub-CPU 41a sets a value that can be identified as a non-probability change state in the sub-probability state flag stored in the sub-RWM41c. When the sub-CPU 41a inputs a high-probability state command, the sub-CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the probabilistic state in the sub-probability state flag. The sub CPU 41a can specify whether or not it is in the probabilistic state by referring to the sub-probability state flag. Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs a low base state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state in the sub base state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. When the sub CPU 41a inputs the high base state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high base state in the sub base state flag. The sub CPU 41a can identify whether it is in the high base state by referring to the sub base state flag. Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the first state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the first high base state in the sub high base type identification flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. When the sub CPU 41a inputs the second state command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the second high base state in the sub high base type identification flag. The sub CPU 41a can identify whether it is the first high base state by referring to the sub base state flag.

The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the jackpot effect is performed during the jackpot game. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed when the opening command is input. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed when a round command is input. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed when the ending command is input. The content of the jackpot effect may be different depending on the type of jackpot.

Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect game is played. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls to execute the effect game when the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command are input. The sub CPU 41a determines the symbol combination of the effect symbols to be finally fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. Specifically, when the jackpot variation pattern is specified from the variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines the jackpot symbol by the effect symbol. Further, when the non-big hit variation pattern is specified from the variation pattern designation command and the out-of-order symbol is specified from the symbol command, the sub CPU 41a determines the out-of-order symbol by the effect symbol. For example, when the sub CPU 41a specifies a variation pattern with non-big hit reach from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines an outlier symbol due to the effect symbol including the reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 41a specifies the non-big hit reach-less variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines the outlier symbol by the effect symbol that does not include the reach. Further, when the non-big hit variation pattern is specified from the variation pattern designation command and the specific trigger symbol is specified from the symbol command, the sub CPU 41a determines the specific trigger symbol by the effect symbol. Further, when the specific trigger fluctuation pattern is specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a determines the specific trigger symbol by the effect symbol.

Further, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect symbol is variablely displayed when the variation pattern designation command is input. That is, the sub CPU 41a starts the production game. Then, the sub CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination according to the determined effect symbol at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub CPU 41a displays the symbol combination by the effect symbol as a fixed stop display when the end command is input. The sub CPU 41a may time the fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern, and display the symbol combination as a fixed stop display when the fluctuation time elapses, regardless of the end command. In this case, the end command may be omitted. In addition, when the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern including the reach effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to execute the reach effect. Further, when the specific trigger fluctuation pattern is specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to execute a predetermined specific trigger effect.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the jackpot is not won in the jackpot lottery, it may be controlled to a high base state.
As shown in FIG. 4A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if the out-of-order symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game during the normal gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is not controlled to the low probability time saving state. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the first result is derived in the variable game in the first gaming state, it is not controlled to the second gaming state when the first result is derived. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be controlled to a low probability time saving state when a specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in a special game during a normal gaming state. Has been done. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second result is derived in the variable game in the first gaming state, the second result can be controlled to the second gaming state when the second result is derived. ing. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and controlled to the low probability time saving state in the normal gaming state, it is controlled to the second high base state even in the high base state. Will be done. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the specific trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display, the special game is executed 20 times after the specific trigger symbol is displayed as the fixed stop. It is controlled to a low probability state up to the period until it reaches. In the present embodiment, the period in which the special game is executed 20 times corresponds to the second period. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second result is derived in the variable game in the first gaming state, the second result is derived after the second result is derived. It is configured to be controllable to the second gaming state up to the end of the second period. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of special games in the first period is 100, while the number of special games in the second period is 20. That is, in the present embodiment, the first period is a longer period than the second period. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first period is defined as "the period until 100 variable games are executed", while the second period is defined as "the period until 20 variable games are executed". bottom. That is, the length of the second period is 25% or less of that of the first period. Further, in the present embodiment, the second period is defined as "the period until 20 variable games are executed", and the variable game is larger than the maximum number of special games (8 = 4 + 4) that can be suspended. Is the period until is executed. Further, the second period in the present embodiment can be said to be 10% or more of the length of the first period. That is, the length of the second period is 10% or more and 25% or less of the first period.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game when it is controlled to the low probability time saving state, it is scheduled to be controlled before the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. It may be controlled to a low probability time saving state for a period longer than the above period. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may be extended.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the remaining number of times controlled in the low probability time saving state is 20 times or more, the period controlled in the low probability time saving state is extended even if the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. Not done.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the time is controlled to be low from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, the time is reduced from the end of the second big hit game. It is assumed that the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 10th special game. At this time, the number of remaining special games from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games is 90 times (= 100-10), which is 20 times or more, so that the time is low. The period controlled by the state is not extended, and the state is controlled to a low probability time saving state up to the time when the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second game state is controlled from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and the first period ends after the end of the hit game. When the remaining period until the game is longer than the second period, even if the second result is derived in the variable game, it is controlled to the second game state from the end of the winning game to the end of the first period. NS. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game, it is controlled to the first high base state even in the high base state.

On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the remaining number of times controlled in the low probability time saving state is less than 20 times, and the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. From to 20 times of special games are executed, the low probability time reduction state is performed, and the period controlled to the low probability time reduction state is extended.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the time is controlled to be low from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, the time is reduced from the end of the second big hit game. It is assumed that the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 90th special game. At this time, the number of remaining special games from the end of the big hit game to the execution of 100 special games is 10 times (= 100-90), which is less than 20 times, and therefore more than 10 times. It is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state until 20 special games are executed. As a result, from the situation where the time is controlled to be low from the end of the second big hit game to the end of the execution of 100 special games, the execution of 110 special games is completed after the end of the second big hit game. The situation is switched to the low-probability time-saving state, and the period controlled to the low-probability time-saving state is extended. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second game state is controlled from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and the first period ends after the end of the hit game. When the remaining period until the game is shorter than the second period, if the second result is derived in the variable game, the second game state is entered up to the end of the second period after the second result is derived. Be controlled.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop and controlled to the low probability time reduction state in the low probability time reduction state controlled to the first high base state, the period is extended. , The low probability time saving state controlled to the first high base state is continued. For example, in FIG. 5B, not only the period during which 1 to 90 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, but also 91 to 100 special games after the end of the second big hit game are executed. Even during the period in which the game is executed and the period in which the 101-110 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, the low probability time saving state controlled by the first high base state is controlled.

Further, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and controlled to the low probability time saving state in the normal game state, the specific trigger symbol in the special game When is displayed as a fixed stop, the specific trigger symbol is controlled to a low probability time saving state from the time when the fixed stop is displayed until the special game is executed 20 times. The low-accuracy time-saving state at this time is a low-accuracy time-saving state controlled by the second high-base state. During the period in which the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and controlled to the low probability time saving state in the normal game state, the game is controlled to the low probability time saving state regardless of the number of special games. Since the number of remaining special games is less than 20, if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is surely extended.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game, it is controlled to the first high base state even in the high base state. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol in the special game in the normal gaming state, it is the second high among the high base states. It is controlled to the base state. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second start port in the low-probability time-saving state when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low-probability time-saving state triggered by the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol in the special game during the normal game state. The advantage of entering the ball 27 is higher than the advantage of entering the second starting port 27 in the low-accuracy time-saving state when the ball is controlled to the low-accuracy time-saving state after the end of the jackpot game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state, the specific start port in the second game state when the game is controlled to the second game state is reached. The advantage of entering the ball is higher than the advantage of entering the specific starting port in the second game state when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low-accuracy time-saving state when controlled to the low-accuracy time-saving state after the end of the big hit game is a specific trigger in the special game when the normal gaming state is reached. This is different from the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when the symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display. As described above, in the present embodiment, the opening mode of the opening / closing member in the second game state when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game is the second result in the variable game in the first game state. Is different from the opening mode of the opening / closing member in the second gaming state when the game is controlled to the second gaming state.

In the present embodiment, when 100 times is the first number and 20 times is the second number, it can be said that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured as follows. The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the execution of the first variable game, and the first number of times after the end of the hit game. When the number of remaining variable games until the variable game is executed is larger than the second number, even if the second result is derived in the variable game, the first variable game is executed after the end of the winning game. It can be said that the game can be controlled to the second game state up to the time when the game is played. Further, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the execution of the first variable game, and is the first from the end of the hit game. When the number of remaining variable games until the variable number of games is executed is less than the second number of times, and the second result is derived in the variable game, the second number of times since the second result is derived. It can be said that the game can be controlled to the second gaming state up to the time when the variable game is executed.

Here, specific control in the game state processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 40a performs the game state processing, so that the function as the game state control means for controlling the game state is realized.

After the end of the first big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the probability change state in the probability state flag. Further, after the end of the first big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the high base state in the base state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state. Set to the high base species identification flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores in the main RWM 40c information that can be specified to be controlled to the high base state until the next big hit game is given (hereinafter, referred to as information until the next time).

Further, after the end of the second big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the non-probability change state in the probability state flag. Further, after the end of the second big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the high base state in the base state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state. Set to the high base species identification flag. Further, after the end of the second big hit game, the main CPU 40a stores "100 times" corresponding to the upper limit number of times of the special game that can be controlled to the high base state by the big hit as the first remaining number of times stored in the main RWM40c. Store as information. The first remaining number of times information corresponds to information that can specify the remaining number of times of a special game that can be controlled to a high base state triggered by a big hit. In the present embodiment, after the end of the second big hit game, the time is controlled to be low. In this way, for example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a jackpot is won in a jackpot lottery in a normal gaming state and a jackpot game is granted after the end of a special game based on the winning, after the jackpot game is completed. It is configured to be controllable in a low-accuracy time-saving state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the winning game is won in the winning lottery in the first gaming state and the winning game is given after the end of the variable game based on the winning, the second gaming state is after the end of the winning game. It is configured to be controllable.

Further, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game even when the game is controlled to the normal game state or the low probability and high certainty state, the main CPU 40a has a high base triggered by the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol. "20 times" corresponding to the upper limit number of times of the special game that can be controlled by the state is stored as the second remaining number of times information stored in the main RWM40c. The second remaining number of times information corresponds to information that can specify the remaining number of times of the special game that can be controlled to a high base state triggered by the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol. At this time, if a value that can be specified to control the low base state is set in the base state flag, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the high base state in the base state flag. A value that can be specified to control to the second high base state is set in the high base species identification flag. On the other hand, when a value that can be specified to control to the high base state is set in the base state flag, the main CPU 40a is set to the value set in the base state flag and the value set in the high base type identification flag. Do not update.

Further, when the control is performed in a high base state and the information is not stored in the main RWM40c until the next time, the main CPU 40a can specify the number of times from the first remaining number of times information of 1 or more. , Every time the special game is executed, 1 is subtracted from the number of times that can be specified from the first remaining number of times information. Further, when the first remaining number information is updated, the main CPU 40a stores the control information (hereinafter, referred to as the first remaining number command) capable of specifying the updated number in the output buffer. Similarly, when the control is performed in a high base state and the information is not stored in the main RWM40c until the next time, the main CPU 40a can specify 1 or more times from the second remaining number of times information. In this case, every time the special game is executed, 1 is subtracted from the number of times that can be specified from the second remaining number of times information. When the second remaining number information is updated, the main CPU 40a stores the control information (hereinafter, referred to as the second remaining number command) capable of specifying the updated number in the output buffer. Further, when at least one of the first remaining number information and the second remaining number information is updated, the main CPU 40a has both the number of times that can be specified from the first remaining number information and the number of times that can be specified from the second remaining number information. If is 0, the base state flag is set to a value that can be identified as controlling to a low base state. At this time, the main CPU 40a erases the value set in the high base type identification flag. Incidentally, in the high base state, the main CPU 40a controls to turn on the right-handed notification lamp 22g. That is, in both the first high base state and the second high base state, the main CPU 40a controls to turn on the right-handed notification lamp 22g. As described above, it is controlled to the low probability time saving state when it is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game and when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state. In both cases, the right-handed notification lamp 22g lights up.

In addition, when the big hit game is given, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled to the non-probability change state in the probability state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state as the base state. Set to flag. At this time, the main CPU 40a sets 0 in the first remaining number information and initializes the first remaining number information. Similarly, the main CPU 40a sets 0 in the second remaining number information and initializes the second remaining number information. Further, when the information is stored in the main RWM40c until the next time, the main CPU 40a deletes the information until the next time.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute the effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, one of a plurality of types of effect modes is executed. The production mode is also called the production state.

As shown in FIG. 6, the effect mode in the present embodiment includes a normal mode, a probability variation mode, a chance mode, a privilege mode, and a challenge mode. In each effect mode, mode identification information that can identify the effect mode (controlled effect mode) during the stay is notified. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, a background image different for each type of effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 25, a decorative lamp 17 is emitted with a different emission color for each type of effect mode, and each type of effect mode is emitted. The mode identification information is notified by outputting different background music from the speaker 18. Therefore, the player can identify the effect mode during the stay from the background image displayed on the effect display device 25, the emission color of the decorative lamp 17, the background music output from the speaker 18, and the like. Further, for example, since an image other than the background image is also displayed on the effect display device 25, at least a part of the images (effect elements) displayed on the effect display device 25 is displayed for each type of effect mode. (Direction element) will be different.

The normal mode corresponds to an effect mode that is controlled during the normal gaming state. The probabilistic mode corresponds to an effect mode that is controlled in a high-probability time-shortening state. The probabilistic mode corresponds to an effect mode controlled after the end of the first big hit game. Further, the chance mode, the privilege mode, and the challenge mode correspond to the effect mode controlled when the time is low. The chance mode corresponds to an effect mode controlled after the end of the second big hit game. The privilege mode is a case where 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, and the time is low and the time is shortened from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games. This corresponds to an effect mode that is controlled when the control period is extended (in FIG. 6, "100 times end + extension is shown"). By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, and it is low until 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game. When the period for controlling to the probability shortened state is not extended (in FIG. 6, it is indicated as "100 times end + no extension"), it is controlled to the normal mode. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after being controlled to the privilege mode, when the low probability time saving state ends, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the normal mode. The challenge mode corresponds to an effect mode that is controlled when a specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in a special game and is controlled to a low probability time saving state in a normal game state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after being controlled to the challenge mode, when the low probability time saving state ends, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the normal mode.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect mode controlled when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game is the chance mode. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect mode controlled when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol in the special game during the normal gaming state is the challenge mode. Is. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the type of effect mode controlled when the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game is such that the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped in the special game when the normal gaming state is reached. It is different from the type of effect mode that is controlled when it is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state when it is displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, the type of effect mode controlled when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game is that the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state. It is different from the type of effect mode that is controlled when the game is controlled to the second game state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the time is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, and 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the number of times remaining until the special game of is executed is more than 20 times, the effect mode does not change even if the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. That is, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period. When the remaining period of is longer than the second period, even if the second result is derived in the variable game, the type of the effect mode is not switched when the second result is derived. That is, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period. When the remaining period of is longer than the second period, even if the second result is derived in the variable game, it is controlled to the second game state from the end of the winning game to the end of the first period, and , The type of production mode is not switched when the second result is derived.

On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, the time is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, and from the end of the second big hit game. When the number of remaining times until the 100 special games are executed is less than 20 times, and the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game. Then, the production mode changes from the chance mode to the privilege mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period. When the remaining period of is shorter than the second period, when the second result is derived in the variable game, it is different from the production mode from the end of the winning game to the end of the first period until the end of the first period. Switch to production mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period. When the remaining period is shorter than the second period, if the second result is derived in the variable game, it is controlled to the second gaming state up to the end of the second period after the second result is derived. Moreover, when the first period ends after the end of the winning game, the mode is switched to an effect mode different from the effect mode until the end of the first period.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect display device 25 notifies the pachinko gaming machine 10 regarding the firing intensity of the gaming ball. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 25 realizes a function as a notification means capable of performing notification regarding the firing intensity of the game ball. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect display device 25 executes a right-handed notification effect for encouraging right-handed hitting, so that a notification regarding the launch of the game ball is performed.

As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the right-handed notification effect is executed in a mode in which the image G1 including the character information (right-handed) for prompting right-handed is displayed in the right-pointing arrow. The right-handed notification effect is executed during the jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, at least during the period from the start of the first round game in the jackpot game to the end of the final round game, the right-handed notification effect is executed on the effect display device 25.

Further, the right-handed notification effect is executed when the base state is high. That is, the right-handed notification effect is executed when controlled in the probability variation mode, the chance mode, the privilege mode, and the challenge mode. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when controlled in the probability variation mode, the chance mode, the privilege mode, and the challenge mode, the right-handed notification effect is executed by displaying the image G1 on the effect display device 25 in common. That is, the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the high-accuracy time-saving state is the same as the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the low-accuracy time-saving state. That is, the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the first high base state is the same as the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the second high base state. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low accuracy time saving state after the end of the big hit game has a specific trigger symbol in the special game when it is in the normal game state. This is the same as the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when the fixed stop display is triggered and the control is performed in the low accuracy time saving state. As described above, in the present embodiment, as for the mode of notification by the notification means when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game, the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state. This is the same as the mode of notification by the notification means when the game is controlled to the second gaming state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect display device 25 executes a left-handed notification effect for encouraging left-handed. The left-handed notification effect is executed in a mode in which a left-handed image including character information (for example, left-handed) prompting left-handed is displayed in a left-pointing arrow. The left-handed notification effect is executed on the effect display device 25 for a predetermined left-handed notification period (for example, 15 seconds) when the low-accuracy time-saving state ends and the normal game state is reached.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the privilege mode in the low probability time saving state ends and shifts to the normal mode in the normal game state, the left-handed notification effect is executed after the final special game in the privilege mode ends. Will be done. However, if the jackpot symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the privilege mode, the execution of the left-handed notification effect is restricted after the end of the special game, and the left-handed notification effect is not executed and the jackpot is not executed. The game is given. In addition, if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the privilege mode, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended, so that it is no longer the final special game in the privilege mode. The execution of the left-handed notification effect is restricted, and the right-handed notification effect is continuously executed without the left-handed notification effect being executed. That is, when the out-of-order symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the privilege mode, the execution of the right-handed notification effect is restricted and the left-handed notification effect is executed after the end of the special game.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, 100 special games are executed without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game, the chance mode ends, and the normal game state ends. When the normal mode in is changed, the left-handed notification effect is executed after the end of the final special game in the chance mode. However, if the special game is executed 100 times without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game, and the big hit symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 100th special game. After the end of the special game, the execution of the left-handed notification effect is restricted, and the big hit game is given without the left-handed notification effect being executed. In addition, when the special game is executed 100 times without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game, and the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 100th special game, After the end of the special game, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. As a result, after the chance mode ends, the mode shifts to the privilege mode instead of the normal mode, the execution of the left-handed notification is restricted, the left-handed notification effect is not executed, and the right-handed notification effect is continuously executed. That is, when the special game is executed 100 times without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game, and the missed symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 100th special game. , After the end of the special game, the execution of the right-handed notification effect is restricted, and the left-handed notification effect is executed.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the challenge mode in the low probability time saving state ends and shifts to the normal mode in the normal game state, the left-handed notification effect is executed after the final special game in the challenge mode ends. Will be done. However, if the jackpot symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the challenge mode, the execution of the left-handed notification effect is restricted after the end of the special game, and the left-handed notification effect is not executed and the jackpot is not executed. The game is given. In addition, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the challenge mode, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended, so that it is no longer the final special game in the challenge mode. The execution of the left-handed notification effect is restricted, and the right-handed notification effect is continuously executed without the left-handed notification effect being executed. That is, when the out-of-order symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the final special game in the challenge mode, the execution of the right-handed notification effect is restricted and the left-handed notification effect is executed after the end of the special game.

In the present embodiment, the left-handed notification effect is not executed simply because the final round of the variable game in the low-probability time-saving state is completed, but the left-handed notification effect is regulated by restricting the execution of the left-handed notification effect. Although it is not recommended, it is possible to prevent the launch handle 16 from becoming busy due to the prompting of left-handed hitting or the immediate recommendation of right-handed hitting. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the left-handed notification effect is executed when the low-accuracy time-saving state ends and the normal gaming state ends, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled in the low-accuracy time-saving state before being controlled to the normal gaming state. Regardless of which effect mode is used, the mode of the left-handed notification effect is the same.

Hereinafter, the effect mode processing performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described together with the control related to the execution of the right-handed notification effect and the control related to the execution of the left-handed notification effect. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 41a performs the effect mode processing to realize a function as an effect mode control means for controlling the effect mode.

When the opening command is input, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the image G1 is displayed and the right-handed notification effect is executed. During the jackpot game, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the right-handed notification effect is executed until the ending command is input.

After the end of the first big hit game, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled in the probabilistic mode in the mode identification flag stored in the sub RWM 41c. On the other hand, after the end of the second big hit game, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled in the chance mode in the mode identification flag. Further, in the chance mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the right-handed notification effect is executed.

Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the first remaining number of times command, the sub CPU 41a stores the information for specifying the number of times that can be specified from the command (hereinafter, referred to as the sub first remaining number of times information) in the sub RWM41c. Similarly, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the second remaining number of times command, the sub CPU 41a stores information for specifying the number of times that can be specified from the command (hereinafter, referred to as the sub second remaining number of times information) in the sub RWM41c.

Further, in the chance mode, when the first remaining number command capable of specifying 0 times is input, the sub CPU 41a switches to the normal mode if the number of times that can be specified from the sub 2 remaining number information is 0 times. Set the mode identification flag to a value that can be specified to be controlled. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the left-handed notification effect is executed over a predetermined left-handed notification period. However, when the jackpot symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the chance mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect. Further, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the chance mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect, and the effect display device 25 continues to execute the right-handed notification effect. To control.

On the other hand, in the chance mode, when the first remaining number command that can specify 0 times is input, the sub CPU 41a is in the privilege mode if the number of times that can be specified from the sub second remaining number information is 1 or more. Set the mode identification flag to a value that can be specified to be controlled by. Further, in the privilege mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the right-handed notification effect is executed. Further, in the privilege mode, when the second remaining number of times command capable of specifying 0 times is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be specified to control to the normal mode in the mode specifying flag. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the left-handed notification effect is executed over a predetermined left-handed notification period. However, when the jackpot symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the privilege mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect. Further, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the privilege mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect, and the effect display device 25 continues to execute the right-handed notification effect. To control.

Further, in the normal mode, when a symbol command capable of specifying a specific trigger symbol is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the challenge mode in the mode identification flag. Further, in the challenge mode, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the right-handed notification effect is executed. Further, in the challenge mode, when the second remaining number of times command capable of specifying 0 times is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be specified to control to the normal mode in the mode specifying flag. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the left-handed notification effect is executed over a predetermined left-handed notification period. However, when the jackpot symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the challenge mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect. Further, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the final variable game in the challenge mode, the sub CPU 41a does not execute the left-handed notification effect, and the effect display device 25 continues to execute the right-handed notification effect. To control.

Here, based on FIG. 8, the change in the game state and the change in the effect mode after the end of the second big hit game will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the end of the second big hit game, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to a low probability time saving state. At this time, the low probability time saving state is controlled up to the time when the special game is executed 100 times. Moreover, after the end of the second big hit game, it is controlled to the chance mode. Then, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the 90th special game after the end of the second jackpot game, the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, and after the end of the second jackpot game. It is controlled to the low probability time saving state up to the time when the special game of 110 times (= 90 + 20) is executed, and as a result, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. At this time, the production mode is not switched and is continuously controlled to the chance mode. By the way, even if the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game before the 80th special game after the end of the second big hit game, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is not extended and the second big hit. It is controlled to a low probability time saving state from the end of the game to the execution of 100 special games.

In addition, after the end of the second big hit game and the time when the special game of 110 times (= 90 + 20) is executed is controlled to a low probability time saving state, 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the special game of is executed, it is controlled to the privilege mode, and the production mode is switched from the chance mode to the privilege mode. By the way, if the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is not extended due to the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol in the low probability time saving state after the end of the second big hit game, the second big hit game ends. When the special game is executed 100 times later, the low probability time saving state ends, the game is controlled to the normal game state, and the normal mode is controlled.

Further, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the 108th special game after the end of the second big hit game, the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, and the time is low. The period controlled by is extended. Specifically, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the 108th special game after the end of the second jackpot game, the end of the second jackpot game is triggered by the confirmation stop display of the specific trigger symbol. It is controlled to a low probability time saving state up to the time when the special game of 128 times (= 108 + 20) is executed later. At this time, there is no change in the production mode, and the mode is continuously controlled to the privilege mode.

After that, if the special game is executed 128 times after the end of the second big hit game without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state, the low probability time saving state ends and the game is controlled to the normal game state. In addition, if 128 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game without extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state, the normal mode is controlled and the production mode is switched from the privilege mode to the normal mode. ..

Hereinafter, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1-1) In the normal game state, even if the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery, it is controlled to the low probability time saving state when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the game property that can be controlled to a low probability time saving state without winning the big hit lottery.

(1-2) When the game is controlled to a low probability time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until the special game of is executed is longer than 20 times, even if the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game. The type of the effect mode is not switched when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, while the time is controlled to be low and the time is shortened up to the upper limit. By the way, in the case where even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, it is controlled to a low probability time saving state up to the upper limit from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games. When the type of the effect mode is switched, it may be inferred that the period controlled to the low probability time saving state has changed due to the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol. However, even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, it is still controlled to a low probability time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games. By not switching the effect mode, it is possible to suppress guessing that a change has occurred in the period controlled to the low probability time saving state due to the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol. That is, even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, it is possible to suppress the player from having a sense of unnecessary expectation by not switching the production mode when there is no change in the period controlled to the low probability time saving state. , It is possible to effectively enjoy the game characteristics that can be controlled in a low probability time saving state without winning a big hit in the big hit lottery, and to improve the interest.

(1-3) When the game is controlled to a low probability time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until the special game of is executed is shorter than 20 times, and the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, 20 special games are played after the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. It is controlled to a low probability time saving state up to the time when it is executed. That is, it is a time when the control is performed in a low probability time saving state up to the time when the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game, and the special game 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until is executed is shorter than 20 times, and when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state even if the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery in the low probability time saving state.

Furthermore, if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and the period controlled to the low probability time reduction state is extended in the low probability time reduction state, the special game 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. Is executed, the mode is switched to a different production mode from the previous production mode. That is, in the special game, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended, the effect mode is set at the timing when the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. By switching the type, it is possible to identify that the period controlled to the low probability time saving state has been extended. For this reason, the type of production mode is switched at the timing when 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, giving an opportunity to pay attention to whether the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. It is possible to improve the interest.

In particular, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended in the special game, the end of the second big hit game is not the timing when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as the fixed stop. It is the timing when the special game is executed 100 times later, that is, the timing when the low probability time saving state ends unless the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended, which is normally enjoyed by the player. The timing at which the game cannot be played can be set as the timing at which the player can enjoy the game, and the interest can be improved.

(1-4) As for the type of effect mode that is controlled when the second big hit game is controlled to the low probability time saving state, the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game when the game is in the normal game state. It is different from the type of effect mode that is controlled when it is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state. As a result, even if the jackpot is not won in the jackpot lottery, if the specific trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state when the fixed stop display is displayed, the situation is controlled to the same low probability time saving state. However, it is possible to enjoy a different production mode from when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery and then controlled to a low probability time saving state, and it is possible to improve the interest.

(1-5) As for the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game, the specific trigger symbol is fixed in the special game in the normal game state. This is different from the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low-accuracy time-saving state when the stop display is triggered and the control is performed in the low-accuracy time-saving state. That is, even in the same low-accuracy time-saving state, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low-accuracy time-saving state differs depending on how the low-accuracy time-saving state is controlled. As a result, even when the low accuracy time saving state is controlled, the low accuracy having a high advantage in entering the second starting port 27 depends on how the low accuracy time saving state is controlled. It is possible to change the way of enjoying when the time is shortened, and it is possible to effectively improve the interest.

(1-6) To the second start port 27 in the low probability time saving state when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state and controlled to the low probability time saving state. The advantage regarding ball entry is higher than the advantage regarding ball entry into the second starting port 27 in the low probability time saving state when the low probability time saving state is controlled after the end of the second big hit game. That is, even when the same low probability time saving state is controlled, the case where the specific opportunity symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game without winning the big hit than when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. However, the advantage regarding entering the ball into the second starting port 27 is high. As a result, even if the jackpot lottery is controlled to a low probability time saving state without winning the jackpot, dissatisfaction with not winning the jackpot can be suppressed, and compared to when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery. However, it is possible to improve the interest by giving a sense of superiority due to the high advantage of entering the second starting port 27.

(1-7) For example, the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when controlled to the low accuracy time saving state after the end of the big hit game, and the specific trigger symbol in the special game are determined in the normal game state. It is assumed that the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when the time is controlled to the low accuracy time reduction state triggered by the stop display is different from that of the effect display device 25. In this case, there is a risk of misunderstanding that different contents are notified as the firing intensity of the game ball. However, the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when controlled to the low accuracy time saving state after the end of the big hit game, and the specific trigger symbol being fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state. With this as an opportunity, the mode of the right-handed notification effect in the effect display device 25 when controlled to the low accuracy time saving state is the same. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being misunderstood as having different contents as the firing intensity.

(1-8) The first period is defined as "the period until 100 variable games are executed", while the second period is defined as "the period until 20 variable games are executed". That is, the length of the second period is 25% or less of that of the first period. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the pachinko game machine 10 is specified in the special game during the period (immediately before the end of the first period) after 75% or more of the first period is completed after being controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game. When the trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, there is an opportunity to extend the period controlled to the low probability time saving state. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the end of the low-probability time-saving state is imminent, as in the period after 75% or more of the first period has elapsed after being controlled to the low-probability time-saving state after the end of the big hit game. In a situation, when a specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in a special game, an opportunity to extend the period controlled to a low probability time saving state comes, and it is possible to effectively improve the interest.

(1-9) The second period is defined as "the period until 20 variable games are executed", and the variable games that are larger than the maximum number of special games (8 = 4 + 4) that can be suspended are executed. It was the period until it was done. As a result, the variable game whose execution is suspended after the variable game whose execution is already suspended is executed in the low probability time saving state which is controlled when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the variable game. Will be done. As a result, in the variable game, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, it is controlled to a low probability time saving state, and then the execution is suspended again, giving the fun of paying attention to the special game and improving the interest. Can be planned.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described. The same configuration as that of the first embodiment is designated by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description and drawings thereof will be omitted.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment, the effect mode controlled when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game during the normal gaming state is , Challenge mode.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the pachinko gaming machine 10 in the second embodiment is controlled to a low probability time saving state when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game during the normal gaming state. The effect mode that is controlled when the game is played is the chance mode. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment, the type of effect mode controlled when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game is specified in the special game when it is in the normal gaming state. This is the same as the type of effect mode that is controlled when the trigger symbol is controlled to a low probability time saving state when the fixed stop display is displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, the type of effect mode controlled when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game is that the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state. This is the same as the type of effect mode that is controlled when the game is controlled to the second game state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment, 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, and 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game. When the period for controlling to the low probability time saving state is extended (in FIG. 6, it is shown as "100 times end + extension"), it is controlled to the privilege mode.

On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment, the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the chance mode, and the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol is used as a trigger to control the pachinko gaming machine 10 to a low probability time saving state. When it is extended (in FIG. 9, it is shown as "specific opportunity symbol + with extension"), it is controlled to the privilege mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second game state is controlled from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and the first period ends after the end of the hit game. When the remaining period until the game is shorter than the second period, when the second result is derived in the variable game, the type of the effect mode is switched when the second result is derived. That is, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled to the second game state from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, and from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period. When the remaining period of is shorter than the second period, if the second result is derived in the variable game, it is controlled to the second gaming state up to the end of the second period after the second result is derived. Moreover, the type of the effect mode is switched when the second result is derived.

Here, in the effect mode processing performed by the sub CPU 41a in the second embodiment, control different from the effect mode process in the first embodiment will be described.
In the chance mode, when the second remaining number command that can specify one or more times (mainly 20 times) is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value that can be specified to control the privilege mode. Set to the mode specific flag.

Further, in the normal mode, when a symbol command capable of specifying a specific trigger symbol is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the chance mode in the mode identification flag. Further, in the chance mode, when the second remaining number command capable of specifying 0 times is input, the sub CPU 41a switches to the normal mode if the number of times that can be specified from the sub 1 remaining number information is 0 times. Set the mode identification flag to a value that can be specified to be controlled.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1-1), (1-2) and (1-5) to (1-9) in the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(2-1) The type of effect mode that is controlled when the game is controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game is that the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game when the game is in the normal game state. This is the same as the type of effect mode that is controlled when the game is controlled to a low accuracy time saving state. As a result, even if the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery, if the specific trigger symbol is controlled to a low probability time saving state when the fixed stop display is displayed, it is enjoyed in the same way as when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. It becomes possible to effectively enjoy the gameplay that can be controlled to a low probability time saving state without winning a big hit in the big hit lottery, and it is possible to improve the interest.

(2-2) When the game is controlled to a low probability time saving state from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until the special game is executed is shorter than 20 times, and the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, 20 special games are played after the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. It is controlled to a low probability time saving state up to the time when it is executed. That is, it is a time when the control is performed in a low probability time saving state up to the time when the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game, and the special game 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until is executed is shorter than 20 times, and when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by extending the period controlled to the low probability time saving state even if the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery in the low probability time saving state.

Furthermore, if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and the period controlled to the low probability time reduction state is extended in the low probability time saving state, the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. , Switch to a different production mode from the previous production mode. In other words, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended in the special game, the type of the effect mode is switched when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. Therefore, it is possible to specify that the period controlled to the low probability time saving state has been extended. As a result, mainly when the 81st to 100th special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, the type of the production mode is switched and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. It can give an opportunity to pay attention and improve the interest.

In particular, when the 81st to 100th special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game, it is about to end unless the period controlled to the low accuracy time saving state is extended, and the accuracy is low. It is presumed that there is a growing sense of crisis about the end of the time saving situation. By making it possible for the player to enjoy even in such a situation where the player is increasing the sense of crisis, it is possible to improve the interest.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
-The type of the high base state may be one type or three or more types. For example, it may be configured so that only one of the first high base state and the second high base state can be controlled. For example, a high base state when controlled to a low probability time reduction state after the end of a big hit game, and a low probability time reduction state triggered by a fixed stop display of a specific trigger symbol in a special game during a normal game state. It may be the same as the high base state when controlled. In the case of such a configuration, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game is specified in the special game in the normal game state. It is the same as the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when the trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display. Incidentally, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the first high base state and the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the second high base state may be the same. Even in such a case, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when controlled to the low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game is specified in the special game in the normal game state. It is the same as the opening mode of the first variable member 28 in the low probability time saving state when the trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state triggered by the fixed stop display. As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the opening mode of the opening / closing member in the second gaming state when controlled to the second gaming state after the end of the hit game is the second in the variable game when the first gaming state is reached. It may be the same as the opening mode of the opening / closing member in the second gaming state when the result is derived and controlled to the second gaming state. That is, the advantage of entering the second starting port 27 when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state and controlled to the low probability time saving state is a big hit. It may be the same as the advantage regarding entering the second starting port 27 when the time is controlled to be low after the game is completed. That is, in the above embodiment, when the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state and the game is controlled to the second game state, the player enters the specific start port in the second game state. The advantage regarding the ball may be the same as the advantage regarding the ball entering the specific starting port in the second game state when the second game state is controlled after the end of the hit game.

-For example, the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game in the first high base state and the first in one normal hit game in the second high base state. The total opening time of the variable member 28 may be the same. For example, in the above embodiment, when the normal hit game is given in the first high base state, the second starting port 27 is opened for 2 seconds, the second starting port 27 is closed for 1 second, and then the second starting port 27 is closed. 2 The starting port 27 may be opened for 3 seconds. In this case, the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game is 5 seconds in either the first high base state or the second high base state. However, in the first high base state, since the first variable member 28 is closed for one second in one normal hit game, the first variable member 28 is closed per unit time (for example, 10 minutes). It can be said that the opening time tends to be shorter than in the second high base state, and the advantage regarding entering the ball into the second starting port 27 is lower than in the second high base state. Therefore, even if the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game in the first high base state and the first in one normal hit game in the second high base state. Even if the total opening time of the 1 variable member 28 is the same, the advantage regarding the entry of the ball into the second starting port 27 is not necessarily the same.

-There may be a plurality of types of production modes that are classified into some or all of the normal mode, chance mode, challenge mode, privilege mode, and probability variation mode. For example, there may be a plurality of types of production modes classified into chance modes. At this time, for example, an effect mode in which the player is provided with an operation means that can be operated and is classified into a chance mode when the operation means is operated during the second big hit game or when the operation means is controlled in the chance mode. The type may be configured to be selectable. In addition, for example, the type of effect mode classified into the chance mode may be switched according to the number of special games executed after the end of the second big hit game. Further, there may be a plurality of types of production modes classified into the challenge mode. At this time, for example, when the game is controlled to the challenge mode, it is classified into the challenge mode when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended. It may be configured so that the type of the production mode is switched. Further, for example, the operation means is provided so that the player can operate the operation means, and the operation means is operated during the execution of a special game in which the specific trigger symbol in the normal game state is displayed as a fixed stop or when the game is controlled to the challenge mode. Taking this as an opportunity, the type of production mode classified into the challenge mode may be configured to be selectable. Similarly, there are multiple types of production modes classified into the privilege mode, and when controlled to the privilege mode, the period in which the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended in the special game. With this as an opportunity, the type of production mode classified into the privilege mode may be switched. Further, for example, it is provided with an operation means that can be operated by the player, and when the operation means is operated while being controlled to the privilege mode, the type of the effect mode classified into the privilege mode can be selected. You may. In addition, in the case of the first embodiment, the type of production mode classified into the privilege mode is set when the operation means is operated during the execution of the 100th or 101st special game after the end of the second big hit game. It may be configured to be selectable. Further, in the second embodiment, the operation means is operated during the execution of the special game in which the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 81st to 100th special games after the end of the second big hit game. With this as an opportunity, the type of production mode classified into the privilege mode may be configured to be selectable.

-When the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state and the game is controlled to the low probability time saving state, it may be configured to be controlled to the privilege mode. That is, the type of effect mode that is controlled when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game in the normal game state and is controlled to the low probability time saving state is the end of the second big hit game. Control when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game when the remaining number of times until the special game is executed 100 times is less than 20 times. It may be the same as the type of effect mode to be performed.

-The first period in the above embodiment is the period until the special game is executed 100 times, but the number of times the special game is executed may be changed, for example, 50 times or 200 times. .. Similarly, the second period in the above embodiment is the period until the special game is executed 20 times, but the number of times the special game is executed may be changed, for example, 10 times or 100 times. May be good. Further, the first period may be shorter than the second period or may be the same length as the second period. Further, in the above embodiment, the first period and the second period are determined by the number of times the special game is executed, but it does not have to be the number of times the special game is executed. For example, at least one of the first period and the second period may be a period determined by time, or may be a period determined by the number of times a normal game is executed. In addition, for example, at least one of the first period and the second period is the number of times that some special symbols (for example, out-of-order symbols) among a plurality of types of special symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. May be good. Further, for example, at least one of the first period and the second period may be a period determined by the number of times one of the first special game and the second special game is executed.

Further, the second period does not have to be 25% or less of the length of the first period, and may be, for example, 100% or more of the length of the first period. For example, when the game is controlled to a low probability time saving state after the end of the big hit game, when the low probability time saving state is reached, the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game no matter how many times the special game is played. As a result, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may be extended. With such a configuration, when the low-accuracy time-saving state is present, it is expected that the period controlled by the low-accuracy time-saving state will be extended at all times, and the interest can be improved. Further, the second period may be a period until the variable game is executed a number of times equal to or less than the upper limit number (8 = 4 + 4) of the special game whose execution can be suspended. That is, the second period does not have to be 10% or more of the length of the first period. As described above, the length of the second period does not have to be within the range of 10% or more and 25% or less of the first period.

-Information that can specify the remaining number of special games that can be controlled to a high base state triggered by a big hit (in the above embodiment, the first remaining number information) and the fixed stop display of the specific trigger symbol will trigger the high base state. It is not necessary to manage the information that can specify the remaining number of controllable special games (in the above embodiment, the second remaining number of times information) and the information separately. For example, information that does not store the first remaining number information and the second remaining number information and can specify the remaining number of special games that can be controlled in a high base state (hereinafter referred to as the remaining number information) is stored in the main RWM40c. It may be configured as follows. In this case, for example, when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the 90th special game after the end of the second big hit game, it is the difference between the 20 times corresponding to the second period and the number of times that can be specified from the remaining number of times information. "10 times (= 20-10)" may be added to the number of times that can be specified from the remaining number of times information, and the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may be extended.

-When the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended, the extension period (for example, 20 times) is added to the period that was planned to be controlled to the low probability time saving state before the extension. May be configured to extend the period controlled by the low probability time saving state.

-When the time is controlled to be low and the time is shortened from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, 100 special games are executed after the end of the second big hit game. When the remaining number of times until the game is played is more than 20 times, when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may be extended.

-When the time is controlled to be low and the time is shortened from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the number of remaining times until the game is more than 20 times, the effect mode may be changed when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. That is, when the second game state is controlled from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, the remaining period from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period is the first. When it is longer than two periods, when the second result is derived in the variable game, the type of the effect mode may be switched when the second result is derived.

-It is a time when the time is controlled to be low and the time is shortened up to the time when the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game, and the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the second big hit game. When the number of remaining times until is less than 20 times, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may not be extended even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the specific game. That is, while the specific trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability time saving state when the fixed stop display is displayed in the special game in the normal game state, the specific trigger symbol is set in the special game in the low probability time saving state. Even if the fixed stop is displayed, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state may not be extended. As described above, when the game is controlled to the high base state, even if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, the period controlled to the high base state may not be extended. Further, for example, when the upper limit is set for the period controlled by the high-accuracy time-saving state, even when the high-accuracy time-saving state is set, it is specified in the special game as in the case of the low-accuracy time-saving state in the above embodiment. It may be configured so that the period controlled to the high-accuracy time-shortening state is extended when the trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop.

-When the period controlled to the low probability time saving state is extended when the time is controlled to the low probability time saving state up to the upper limit from the end of the second big hit game to the execution of 100 special games, the second Even if the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the jackpot game, it may be configured to continue to be controlled in the chance mode. That is, when the second game state is controlled from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period, the remaining period from the end of the hit game to the end of the first period is the first. When it is shorter than the two periods, even if the second result is derived in the variable game, the effect mode may not be switched even if the first period ends after the end of the winning game.

-There may be multiple types of special symbols that are classified as specific trigger symbols. Further, depending on the type of the specific trigger symbol displayed in the special game, the period controlled to the low probability time reduction state when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as the fixed stop, that is, the second period may be different. good. For example, when the first specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the normal game state, the upper limit is until 50 special games are executed when the first specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. It may be configured to be controlled to a low accuracy time saving state. On the other hand, for example, when the second specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the normal game state, until the special game is executed 30 times when the second specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. It may be configured to be controlled to a low probability time saving state with the upper limit. At this time, the period during which the specific trigger symbol is controlled to the low probability shortened state when the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game may be different depending on the type of the specific trigger symbol. , It may be the same regardless of the type of the specific trigger symbol. In addition, regardless of whether the type of the specific trigger symbol is one type or a plurality of types, even if the second period is different in the game state when the special game in which the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed is executed. good. For example, if a specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in a special game during a normal game state, the upper limit is until 30 special games are executed when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. It may be configured to be controllable in a low accuracy time saving state. On the other hand, if the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game when the time is low, the special game is executed 50 times when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. The upper limit may be configured to be controllable in a low accuracy time saving state. As described above, the period of the second period may be of a plurality of types. The type of the specific opportunity symbol may be configured to be determined together with the winning in the specific opportunity lottery, or after winning the specific opportunity lottery, a lottery different from the specific opportunity lottery (for example, a special symbol random number). It may be configured to be determined in a lottery using values).

-The mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the first high base state and the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the second high base state may be different. For example, in the mode of the right-handed notification effect when the game is controlled to the low probability time reduction state after the end of the big hit game, the low probability time reduction is triggered by the fact that the specific trigger symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game during the normal game state. It may be different from the mode of the right-handed notification effect when the state is controlled. Incidentally, in order to make the mode of the right-handed notification effect different, the image displayed on the effect display device 25 may be different when the right-handed notification effect is executed, or the effect display may be made when the right-handed notification effect is executed. The display area of the image to be displayed on the device 25 may be different. In order to make the display area of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 different when the right-handed notification effect is executed, the display position of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 when the right-handed notification effect is executed is changed. Alternatively, the size (display area) of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 may be different when the right-handed notification effect is executed. As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the mode of notification by the notification means when the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the hit game is such that the second result is derived in the variable game when the game is in the first game state. It may be different from the mode of notification by the notification means when the game is controlled to the second gaming state. Further, the mode of the right-handed notification effect during the big hit game and the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the first high base state may be different. Similarly, the mode of the right-handed notification effect during the big hit game and the mode of the right-handed notification effect when controlled to the second high base state may be different. Further, it is not necessary to execute the right-handed notification effect. Further, it does not have to be a means for executing the right-handed notification effect (in the above embodiment, the effect display device 25), and for example, the right-handed notification effect is executed on the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the information display panel 22. It may be configured as. At this time, the means for executing the right-handed notification effect corresponds to the notification means.

-When the left-handed notification effect is executed when the low-probability time-saving state ends and the normal game state is entered, depending on the type of effect mode that was controlled in the low-probability time-saving state before being controlled to the normal game state. The mode of the left-handed notification effect may be different. Further, it is not necessary to execute the left-handed notification effect. In the above embodiment, the situation in which the right-handed notification lamp 22g is not lit can be regarded as the situation in which left-handed hitting is promoted.

-In the above embodiment, the second special game is preferentially executed over the first special game, but the execution is suspended regardless of the type of the special game of the first special game and the second special game. It may be configured to be executed in the following order. Further, the first special game may be configured to be executed with priority over the second special game. In addition, the first special game and the second special game may be configured to be executable at the same time. For example, in the low base state, the production game corresponding to the first special game is executed, while in the high base state, the first is 2 The production game corresponding to the special game may be executed.

-The above embodiment may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine that performs a small hit lottery (winning lottery) in addition to the big hit lottery (winning lottery). Generally, when a small hit (hit) is won in a small hit lottery, a small hit symbol (hit result) is displayed as a fixed stop in the special game, and a small hit game (win game) is given after the end of the special game. Will be done. In the gaming machine of the embodiment, for example, the number of times (frequency) of winning a small hit per unit time or the number of times (frequency) of a small hit game being given per unit time is improved as compared with the normal gaming state. It may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to a state (so-called small hit RUSH). In a pachinko machine that performs a small hit lottery, it can be said that the case where the winning lottery does not win the big hit corresponds to the case where the big hit lottery does not win the big hit and the small hit lottery does not win the small hit. .. In addition, the period controlled to the low probability time saving state when the specific trigger symbol is displayed as a fixed stop, that is, the second period is the number of times the small hit lottery is won (or the number of times the small hit game is given). ) May be the period specified by.

-As a pachinko game machine that can be controlled to a probable change state, a specification that controls the probable change state until the next big hit game is given, a specification that controls the probable change state until the fall lottery is won (fall machine), or a predetermined one. There is a specification (ST machine) that controls the probabilistic state until the end of the special game for the number of times. Further, the pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to the probabilistic state has a specification (V probabilistic machine) that controls the pachinko game machine to the probabilistic state when the game ball passes through a specific area. The pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment may be embodied in any of these specifications of the pachinko gaming machine. Further, the pachinko gaming machine may be a pachinko gaming machine having a specification in which the above-mentioned falling machine and the V probability changing machine are mixed. In addition, the V probability change machine has a specification of having a single large winning opening to generate a specific round game. The V probability change machine is equipped with a plurality of large winning openings consisting of a large winning opening (V winning opening) opened in a specific round game and a large winning opening opened in a round game other than the specific round game, and a specific round. There is a specification that causes a game. The pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment may be embodied in a V probability variable machine having any of these specifications.
