Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, which is a kind of gaming machine, a big hit lottery is performed according to the entry of a game ball into the first starting ball entrance or the second starting ball entrance, and a symbol is drawn based on the result of the big hit lottery. A variable game is run. When the jackpot display result is displayed in the symbol variation game, a jackpot game in which the special entrance is opened is given. As a result of executing the normal symbol variation game in response to the entry of the game ball into the normal start opening, the second start opening is opened when the normal hit display result is displayed in the normal symbol variation game. A normal hit game is given.

Among such pachinko gaming machines, for example, as in Patent Document 1, those controlled by various gaming states are general. As the game state, for example, there are a non-ball entry rate improvement state and a ball entry rate improvement state in which the game ball is easier to enter into the second starting ball opening than the non-ball entry rate improvement state. The improved state of the ball entry rate is more advantageous to the player than the improved state.

In such a pachinko gaming machine, it is configured so that the ball entry rate can be controlled to be improved after the jackpot game is completed. In addition to the jackpot game being granted, the pachinko gaming machine is entered after the jackpot game is completed. It is possible to raise the expectation that the ball rate will be controlled to be improved. In addition, when the ball entry rate is controlled to be improved after the big hit game is completed, the non-ball entry rate improvement state is triggered by the number of times the symbol variation game executed after the big hit game is completed reaches a predetermined number of times. It may be controlled by.

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 shots of the 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 29 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 so-called "non-electric support state". In the high base state, the probability that the game ball will enter the second starting port 29 increases, and the game ball can easily enter the second starting port 29, which is advantageous for the player. Easy state, improved ball entry rate). As described above, in the game state, the low base state (non-ball entry rate improved state) and the ball entry rate at which the game ball enters the second starting port 29 are higher than in the low base state (ball entry rate). There is a high base state (improved ball entry rate).

For example, the high base state can be realized 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, which changes the probability of winning the winning lottery of the ordinary symbol (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 ordinary variable member 30 in one ordinary hit game longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, the number of times the normal variable member 30 is opened in one normal hit game is increased as compared with the case in the low base state, and the normal variable member 30 is opened once in the normal hit game. It is preferable to control at least one of the controls that make the time longer than in the low base state. In the present embodiment, in the high base state, the game ball is moved to the second starting port 29 more than in the low base state by performing the third control without performing the first control and the second control. It becomes easy to enter the ball, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, at least one arbitrarily selected control may be performed.

In this embodiment, the normal hit probability in the low base state exceeds 0. Therefore, the normally variable member 30 can be operated in an allowable state in a low base state. The normal hit probability in the low base state may be 0. In this case, the variable member 30 is normally not operated in the allowable state in the low base state. That is, it can be said that the low base state is a state in which it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port 29 or the game ball does not enter the second starting port 29 as compared with the high base state.

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 shortens the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) as compared with the case of the low base state. When the fluctuation time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state is the so-called "variation time shortening state" of the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is the so-called "non-variable time shortened state" for the special symbol.

Further, in the present embodiment, the high base state includes a first high base state and a second high base state in which the controlled conditions are different. The first high base state as the first ball entry rate improvement state is a gaming state controlled based on the satisfaction of the first condition among the conditions controlled to the high base state. The first condition in the present embodiment is a condition that is satisfied after the end of the big hit game. The second high base state as the second ball entry rate improvement state is a gaming state controlled based on the establishment of a second condition different from the first condition among the conditions controlled to the high base state. The second condition in the present embodiment is a condition that is established when the special game is executed a special number of times (598 times in the present embodiment) without becoming a big hit after being controlled to a low probability state. That is, the high base state is a gaming state that may be controlled based on the satisfaction of the first condition or controlled based on the satisfaction of the second condition, and is at least the first condition and the second condition. It is a gaming state controlled based on the establishment.

Further, in the present embodiment, the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 is different between the first high base state and the second high base state in the normal hit game, and the degree of entry of the game ball into the second starting port 29 is different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the opening mode of the normally variable member 30 may be the same. Hereinafter, the first high base state and the second high base state may be collectively referred to as a high base state.

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as jackpot symbols of special symbols. Each type of jackpot is defined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. The types of jackpot games are defined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols (types of jackpots).

In the jackpot game, a predetermined effect is first performed over a predetermined opening time. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined effect, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed. In the big hit game, after the opening time has elapsed, a plurality of round games in which the big winning opening 31 is opened are performed. Round games are played up to a predetermined number of times.

One round game is the first end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number (“10” in this embodiment) of game balls enters the large winning opening 31, or the second end in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. It ends when the condition is satisfied. That is, the end conditions for ending each of the multiple round games include the first end condition in which the maximum number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening 31 is the upper limit, and the large winning opening 31 has been entered. There is a second end condition in which the number of game balls entered does not reach the upper limit and a predetermined upper limit time elapses. In the round game, the large winning opening 31 is opened in a predetermined opening mode, and more specifically, the open state is taken when the start of the round game is started, and the closed state is taken when the round game is finished. In the round game, a round production is performed. In this way, the special variable member 32 operates so that the large winning opening 31 can take an open state in each of the plurality of round games, and when the start condition for starting each round game is satisfied, the large winning opening 31 Takes the open state, and when the end condition for ending each round game is satisfied, the big winning opening 31 takes the closed state. Then, in the big hit game, when the final round game is completed, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined ending time. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined effect, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit game is performed. The jackpot game ends with the passage of the ending time.

Next, a specific jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, of the 100 types of jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display unit 22a as the game result of the first special game, 100 types of jackpot symbols are classified into symbol ZA. ing. Further, of the 100 types of jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display unit 22b as the game result of the second special game, 25 types of jackpot symbols are on symbol Za, 30 types of jackpot symbols are on symbol Zb, and 45. The types of jackpot symbols are classified into symbol Zc. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is one type of jackpot as the type of jackpot in the first special game, and there are three types of jackpot as the type of jackpot in the second special game, but the present invention is not limited to this. Hereinafter, as the type of jackpot, the type of jackpot symbol is used and expressed as a jackpot based on the symbols ZA, Za to Zc. Further, as the type of the jackpot game given based on the type of the jackpot, the type of the jackpot symbol is used and expressed as the jackpot game based on the symbols ZA, Za to Zc.

As the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA, the maximum number of round games is set to five. As the jackpot game based on the symbol Za, the maximum number of round games is set to 10 times. As the jackpot game based on the symbol Zb, the maximum number of round games is set to 7 times, which is less than 10. As the jackpot game based on the symbol Zc, the maximum number of round games is set to 4 times, which is less than 7. In the present embodiment, 25 s is specified as the upper limit time of the round game for each big hit game.

In the present embodiment, an interval time between rounds (1.5 s in the present embodiment) is set (specified) after the end of the round game for each of the plurality of round games, and when the interval time between rounds elapses, The next round game will be started, or the ending time will be started.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same opening time (14s in the present embodiment) is defined for all types of jackpot games, but the opening time is not limited to this, and for example, different opening times are defined depending on the type of jackpot game. You may. Further, in the present embodiment, 11s is set as the ending time, but the ending time is not limited to this, and for example, a different ending time may be set depending on the type of the big hit game.

As shown in FIG. 3, for each jackpot game, distribution control information indicating the control content of the distribution member 38 is defined. In the present embodiment, in a plurality of round games, an operation round in which the distribution member 38 is operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state and then from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. There is a game, and the first round game is defined as the operation round game. Therefore, when the operation round game is started, the first distribution member 38 is operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state based on the distribution control information determined for the type of jackpot. It is operated from the distribution state to the second distribution state. In the non-actuated round game which is not the activated round game, the distribution member 38 is not operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state and maintains the second distribution state. As described above, in the plurality of round games, there are an actuated round game in which the distribution member 38 can be operated in the first distribution state and a non-operation round game in which the distribution member 38 is not operated in the first distribution state. be.

The control content (distribution control) of the distribution member 38 includes short distribution control in which the time for the distribution member 38 to be in the first distribution state is short and time for the distribution member 38 to be in the first distribution state. There is a long distribution control. That is, the control content of the distribution member 38 includes a plurality of types of distribution control in which the distribution member 38 is operated so that the time for taking the first distribution state is different.

Further, as the distribution control information, the start condition of each distribution control is defined so as to correspond to each type of jackpot. Specifically, the start condition of each distribution control is established when the number of balls entered by the special winning sensor SE3 in the operating round game reaches a specified number. Specifically, as a condition for starting the short distribution control, the number of balls entered by the special winning sensor SE3 in the operating round game is "1", as in all types of jackpot games. It is established with the opportunity. As a start condition of the long distribution control, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za to Zc, it is established when the number of balls of the game ball detected by the special winning sensor SE3 in the operation round game becomes "2". do. On the other hand, as a start condition of the long distribution control, the big hit game based on the symbol ZA is not satisfied in the operation round game.

Further, as the distribution control information, the end condition of each distribution control is defined. The end condition of the short distribution control is when 0.028 s elapses after the start condition is satisfied, or when the operation round game ends before 0.028 s elapses after the start condition is satisfied. To establish. That is, in the short distribution control, when the end condition of the round game is not satisfied by the time when the predetermined time elapses after the distribution member 38 takes the first distribution state, that time has elapsed. It is a distribution control that operates so that the distribution member 38 takes the second distribution state as an opportunity. Further, in the short distribution control, when the end condition of the round game is satisfied before the predetermined time elapses after the distribution member 38 takes the first distribution state, the end condition of the round game is satisfied. It is a distribution control that operates so that the distribution member 38 takes the second distribution state as an opportunity.

As the end condition of the long distribution control, a predetermined time (predetermined time, 1.4 s in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the end of the operation round game, regardless of the time elapsed since the start condition is satisfied. It is established when it is done. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time reaches the distribution member 38 after the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 31 enters the large winning opening 31 (after being detected by the special winning sensor SE3). Sufficient time has been set before. Further, in the present embodiment, 1.5 s is specified as the interval time between rounds and 1.4 s is specified as the end condition of the long distribution control, and the time shorter than the interval time between rounds is specified for the long distribution control. It will be specified as an end condition. That is, in the long distribution control, when the distribution member 38 is in the first distribution state, the distribution member 38 becomes the first when a predetermined time has elapsed since the end condition of the round game is satisfied. It is a distribution control that operates so as to take two distribution states.

In the present embodiment, as the end condition of the short distribution control, a time shorter than the time from the detection of the game ball by the special winning sensor SE3 until the game ball reaches the distribution member 38 is defined. .. Further, the total time of the time determined as the end condition of the short distribution control and the time until the distribution member 38 is operated from the first distribution state to the second distribution state is a special winning sensor. It is shorter than the time from when the game ball is detected by SE3 until the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. In this way, when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 and the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 operates from the second distribution state to the first distribution state. By the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38, the end condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and the distribution member 38 operates from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. That is, in the short distribution control, the distribution member 38 takes the first distribution state when the number of game balls entered into the large winning opening 31 becomes "1" in each operation round game. This is a distribution control in which the distribution member 38 operates so as to take a second distribution state by the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. Therefore, it can be said that the short distribution control is a distribution control that makes it difficult to distribute the game ball to the special passing region 36.

Further, in the present embodiment, the time from the detection of the game ball by the special winning sensor SE3 to the operation of the distribution member 38 from the second distribution state to the first distribution state is the special prize sensor SE3. It is shorter than the time from when the game ball is detected to when the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. In this way, when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 and the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 reaches the second distribution member 38 by the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. It operates from the minute state to the first distribution state.

Further, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za to Zc, the short distribution control and the long distribution control are performed in the first round game. In the big hit game based on the symbol ZA, in the first round game, the short distribution control is performed, but the long distribution control is not performed. Therefore, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za to Zc, at least the operation round game that enables the game ball to pass through the special passing area 36 is performed, while in the big hit game based on the symbol ZA, the special passing is performed. An actuating round game that allows the game ball to pass through the area 36 will not be performed.

As described above, in the operation round game, the distribution member 38 can be operated so as to take the first distribution state based on the short distribution control, but to take the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. There is a first operation round game in which the distribution member 38 is not operated. Further, in the operation round game, the distribution member 38 can be operated so as to take the first distribution state based on the short distribution control, and the distribution member 38 can be operated to take the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. There is a second actuation round game in which the split member 38 can be actuated. It can be said that the first actuated round game is a round game in which it is more difficult for the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 31 to pass through the special passing area 36 as compared with the second actuated round game. That is, it can be said that the jackpot based on ZA is a jackpot that is harder to control to a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game than the jackpot based on Za to Zc.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the special game of a specified number of times (100 times in this embodiment) is terminated as the game state after the end of the big hit game. Until then, a high probability state is given. Further, the specified number of times is the same regardless of the type of the determined jackpot. On the other hand, when the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, a low probability state is given without giving a high probability state as the game state after the end of the big hit game.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first high base state is a game state controlled after the end of the big hit game. On the other hand, the second high base state is a gaming state controlled when a special number of special games are executed without becoming a big hit after the control of the low probability state. As described above, even in the high base state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second starting port 29 than in the low base state, the trigger (condition) to be controlled is different. Further, the special number of times of executing the special game from being controlled to the low probability state to being controlled to the second high base state is a number of times larger than the specified number of times that can be controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game. This is a number of times larger than the first upper limit number (100 times or 597 times) that can be controlled to the first high base state after being controlled to the low probability state after the end of the big hit game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first high base state continues until the special game of the first upper limit number (in this embodiment, 100, 597 or 697 times) is executed without becoming a big hit. It is a controlled gaming state. There are a plurality of types of upper limit times in this first upper limit number of times, and the first upper limit number of times corresponds to the type of big hit, the game state when the big hit lottery is won, and the game state controlled after the end of the big hit game. Is. On the other hand, the second high base state is a gaming state in which the game is continuously controlled until a predetermined second upper limit number of times (759 times in the present embodiment) of the special game is executed without becoming a big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, the second upper limit number of times has one kind of upper limit number of times, and the second upper limit number of times is controlled to the case of being controlled to the low probability state and the case of being controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game. The same number of times as in the case. The second upper limit number is a number larger than the first upper limit number, and is a number larger than the special number. Further, the second upper limit is a number of times larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state (about 320), and even in the low probability state, the possibility of winning the big hit lottery is relatively high. I can say.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, except when the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol Za is determined, when the jackpot game is controlled to a high probability state and a low probability state is achieved. The first upper limit number of times is 100 times both when controlled by. As described above, unless the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol Za is determined, the same number of times as the predetermined number of times controlled in the high probability state is the first upper limit number of times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the low base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is determined, the first upper limit number of times becomes 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the big hit game.

On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol Za is determined, the first upper limit number of times is 100 times when the jackpot game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. It will be larger than 597 times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is determined, the first upper limit number is larger than 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game. It will be 697 times. The 597 times and 697 times are larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state (about 320), and the possibility of winning the big hit lottery is relatively high even in the low probability state. It can be said that it is expensive.

The high base state is controlled when a special number of special games are executed after the end of the big hit game or after the control of the low probability state, so that the big hits are continuously made (so-called "ream"). There is a high possibility that it will be controlled when it is controlled to a low probability state for a certain period of time (so-called “hamari time”). Further, in the big hit game based on the symbol ZA, since it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the special passing area 36, there is a high possibility that the game will be controlled to a low probability state after the big hit game is completed. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za to Zc, since the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36, there is a high possibility that the game will be controlled to a high probability state after the big hit game is completed. In particular, among the big hit games based on the symbols Za to Zc, in the big hit game based on the symbol Za, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one big hit game is long, and it can be said that it is the most advantageous big hit game. Therefore, when the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol Za is determined, the number of times larger than in other cases becomes the first upper limit number of times. Therefore, when the jackpot based on the symbol Za is determined in the high base state, the number of times larger than in other cases is the first upper limit number of times.

In this way, the first high-base state is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the big-hit game differs between when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high-base state and when it is not. be. Further, in the first high base state, when a big hit is made based on the symbol Za in the high base state, there are cases where the big hit is controlled to a low probability state and a case where the big hit is controlled after the end of the big hit game. It is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the game is different.

In particular, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled to the high probability state and the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, the first high base in the 1st to 697th special games. It is controlled by the state, and is controlled to the low base state in the 698th special game, and is controlled to the second high base state in the 699 to 1458th special game. When it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, when it is controlled to the low probability state and the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the first high base state in the 1st to 597th special games. It is controlled, controlled to a low base state in the 598th special game, and controlled to a second high base state in the 599 to 1358th special game. In this way, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, it is controlled to the low base state and then to the second high base state. The number of executions of the special game until it is controlled is one. On the other hand, in other cases, it will be 498 times or 598 times.

That is, when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then controlled to the low base state, it is executed from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state. The number of executions of the special game is smaller when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state than in the other cases. In particular, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then to the low base state, it is controlled to the low base state and then the second high. The number of executions of the special game executed before being controlled to the base state is smaller than the first upper limit number, and particularly smaller than the hold upper limit number of each special game.

In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one big hit game, the possibility of being controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, and the high base state after the end of the big hit game are controlled. Comprehensively comparing the number of executions of the special game, it can be said that the second special game is a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game.

In the present embodiment, as the big hit of the first special game, there is no big hit that the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36, and as the big hit of the second special game, the big hit that the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36. There is. For this reason, in the present embodiment, 100 special games are won in the first special game in the low base state, and are controlled to the first high base state after the big hit game is completed. In the meantime, it is advantageous for the player to execute the second special game and win the big hit based on the symbols Za to Zc. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the second special game is executed and the jackpot based on the symbol Za is won, the first high base state and the second high base are straddled after the end of the jackpot game. The state can be controlled, and the game progress is advantageous for the player.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first jackpot, and the jackpot based on the symbol Za corresponds to the specific jackpot and the second jackpot.
In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol Za corresponds to the first special condition, and the symbol Za is set in the low base state. When the jackpot is based on, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol Za corresponds to the second special condition. In the present embodiment, the second condition corresponds to the third special condition.

In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first specific condition, and the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state. At that time, the first condition that is satisfied after the end of the big hit game based on the symbol Za corresponds to the second specific condition. In the present embodiment, the second condition corresponds to the third specific condition, respectively.

In the present embodiment, the combination of 597 times and 100 times as the first upper limit number corresponds to the combination of the first number of times and the second number of times, respectively. In the present embodiment, 759 times as the second upper limit number corresponds to a predetermined number of times. In the present embodiment, 100 times, which is the upper limit number of times controlled in the high base state, corresponds to the specified number of times. In the present embodiment, 599 times, which is the number of times the special game is executed from the time when the low probability state is controlled to the time when the second high base state is controlled, corresponds to the special number of times.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the same probability (65535/65536) is defined as the winning probability (normal winning probability) of the ordinary winning lottery in all the base states. As described above, in the present embodiment, the normal winning lottery is a lottery in which the low base state, the first high base state, and the second high base state are won with the same probability, but the lottery is not limited to this, and for example, the low base state. The lottery may be won with different probabilities depending on at least one of the state, the first high base state, and the second high base state.

The fluctuation time of the normal game is the same time (200 ms) in the low base state, the first high base state, and the second high base state, but is not limited to this, for example, the low base state and the first high base state. It may be different at least in any one of the second high base states, and may have different decision probabilities at the same time. Further, the fluctuation interval time of the normal game is also the same time (500 ms) in the low base state, the first high base state, and the second high base state.

There are three types of symbols FZA to FZC in the ordinary hit symbols displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit 22e as the game result of the ordinary game, and each of the three types of symbols FZA to FZC has the same probability (1/3). Although it is determined, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, at least one of the symbols may be determined with a different probability, and there may be one type, two types, and any one of four or more types of symbols.

As an opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in one normal hit game, in the low base state, it is controlled to the open state with an upper limit of 32 ms in all normal hit games, while in the second high base state, all normal In the hit game, the open state is controlled up to 5400 ms. Further, as an opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in one normal hit game, in the first high base state, in the normal hit game based on the symbol FZA, it is controlled to the open state for 3000 ms until the end condition is satisfied, and 1000 ms. It is controlled to the closed state and to the open state for 2000 ms. In the normal hit game based on the symbol FZB, until the end condition is satisfied, it is controlled to the 2000 ms open state, the 1000 ms closed state, and the 3000 ms open state. In the normal hit game based on the symbol FZC, the game is controlled to the 2500 ms open state, the 1000 ms closed state, and the 2500 ms open state until the end condition is satisfied.

As described above, in the opening mode of the normal variable member 30, in the first high base state and the second high base state, the second starting port 29 takes an open state in one normal hit game rather than the low base state. The total upper limit opening time that can be done is long. Further, as the opening mode of the normally variable member 30, there are a plurality of types of opening modes in the first high base state, while there is one type of opening mode in the second high base state. The plurality of types of opening modes in the first high base state are different from the one type opening mode in the second high base state, and the normal variable member 30 can take the open state in one normal hit game. The total upper limit opening time at which the second starting port 29 can be in the open state in the upper limit number of times and one normal hit game is different. In the present embodiment, as the opening mode of the ordinary variable member 30, any one of a plurality of types of opening modes in the first high base state corresponds to the first opening mode and the second opening mode.

Further, the total upper limit opening time at which the second starting port 29 can take the open state in one normal hit game differs between the first high base state and the second high base state, and in the second high base state, The total upper limit opening time that the second starting port 29 can take an open state in one normal hit game is longer than that in the first high base state. Further, in the normal hit game given in the first high base state and the normal hit game given in the second high base state, the normal variable member 30 can take an open state in one normal hit game. The upper limit of opening is different.

In the first high base state, the plurality of types of opening modes are such that the normal variable member 30 can take the open state a plurality of times in one normal hit game. Further, the plurality of types of opening modes in the first high base state are the total upper limit opening time during which the second starting port 29 can take the open state in one normal hit game, and the normal variable member in one normal hit game. The upper limit of the number of times that 30 can take the open state and the closing time that the normally variable member 30 can take the closed state in one normal hit game are the same. On the other hand, the plurality of types of opening modes in the first high base state differ in the upper limit opening time during which the second starting port 29 can take the opening state once.

Further, the upper limit control time of the normal hit game is the same time (6000 ms) for all types of normal hit games in the first high base state, while in the second high base state, all the normal hit games are played. The same time (5400 ms) as the type. That is, the upper limit control time of the normal hit game is shorter in the second high base state than in the first high base state. As a result, in the second high base state, the total upper limit opening time during which the second starting port 29 can be opened in one normal hit game is shorter than in the first high base state, but the normal hit game Digestion is faster. Further, in the first high base state, there are a plurality of types of opening modes of the normally variable member 30 as compared with the second high base state, and the launch timing of the game ball is made so as to make it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting port 29. It is possible to make the adjustment difficult, and it is possible to improve the technical intervention for the player.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot probability is set to 205/65536 (about 1/320) in the low probability state and 995/65536 (about 1/66) in the high probability state. The number of prize balls is "2" when the game ball is detected by the first start sensor SE1, "1" when the game ball is detected by the second start sensor SE2, and the game ball by the special prize sensor SE3. When it is detected, "15" is defined, and when the game ball is detected by the general winning sensor SE5, "4" is defined.

Next, various processes performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
First, the special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol input process is performed as an interrupt process.

In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting port 28 based on whether or not the detection signal is input from the first starting sensor SE1.
When the game ball enters the first starting port 28, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). To judge. When the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the hold condition (first hold condition) of the first special game is satisfied. That is, the execution of the first special game can be suspended when the game ball enters the first starting port 28. In the present embodiment, the main control for suspending the execution of the first special game (special game) with a predetermined upper limit number (holding upper limit number) as the upper limit according to the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 28. The CPU 40a corresponds to the holding means. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so as to display the updated first special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets the information (hereinafter, referred to as the first hold number command) that can specify the first special hold number after the update in the output buffer. The information (control command) set in the output buffer is output to the sub-control board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processes.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the random number is a random number used for the jackpot lottery, a random number used for determining the jackpot symbol, a random number used for determining the fluctuation pattern, and the like. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information so that the random number information for the first special game can be specified and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied. In this way, the execution of the first special game (special game) can be suspended when the game ball enters the first starting port 28. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method.

Main control when no game ball has entered the first starting port 28, when the number of first special holdings is not less than the upper limit, and when random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c. The CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the second starting port 29 based on whether or not the detection signal is input from the second starting sensor SE2. When the game ball has not entered the second starting port 29, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

When the game ball enters the second starting port 29, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of second special reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). To judge. If the second special hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. When the number of the second special hold is less than the upper limit, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of the second special hold stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the holding condition (second holding condition) of the second special game is satisfied. That is, the execution of the second special game can be suspended when the game ball enters the second starting port 29. In the present embodiment, the main control for suspending the execution of the second special game (special game) with a predetermined upper limit number (holding upper limit number) as the upper limit according to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 29. The CPU 40a corresponds to the holding means. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so as to display the second special hold number after the update. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) that can specify the second special hold number after the update in the output buffer.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information so that the random number information for the second special game can be specified and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. In this way, the execution of the second special game (special game) can be suspended when the game ball enters the second starting port 29.

Next, the special symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol start process is performed as an interrupt process.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution condition of the special game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game is not in progress and is not in the special game, while a negative determination is made when the jackpot game is in progress or the special game is in progress. If the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is "1" or more. When the number of the second special hold is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process so that the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied and the second special game is started. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is not "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is "1" or more. When the first special hold number is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process so that the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied and the first special game is started. In this way, the main control CPU 40a preferentially executes the second special game over the first special game. On the other hand, if the first special hold number is not "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls to a standby state in which the special game and the big hit game are not executed when each special hold number is "0", not during the special game or the big hit game.

When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 40a updates by subtracting "1" from the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the first special game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first, the main control CPU 40a erases the random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the big hit based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. The determination of whether or not to win the jackpot is determined by, for example, whether or not the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the jackpot determination value corresponding to the current probability state match. The determination of whether or not to win the big hit may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the big hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value. In this way, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery according to the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 28, and determines whether or not the big hit is achieved. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that executes such a process corresponds to the big hit lottery means (big hit determination means).

When the jackpot is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol derived in the first special game and the fluctuation pattern of the first special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol derived in the first special game and the fluctuation pattern of the first special game by lottery using the read random number information for the first special game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that executes such a process corresponds to the jackpot type determining means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines the variation pattern based on a predetermined determination condition corresponds to the variation pattern determining means. When the jackpot symbol derived in the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol command) that can identify the determined jackpot symbol in the output buffer. When the fluctuation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can specify the determined fluctuation pattern, and provides information (hereinafter, referred to as a game start command) instructing the start of the production game based on the fluctuation pattern. Set in the output buffer. After setting the symbol command and the first game start command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, in the case of a loss that does not win the big hit, the main control CPU 40a determines the loss pattern derived in the first special game and the fluctuation pattern of the first special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a determines the out-of-order symbol derived in the first special game and the fluctuation pattern of the first special game by lottery using the read random number information for the first special game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines the variation pattern based on a predetermined determination condition corresponds to the variation pattern determining means. When the out-of-order symbol derived in the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol command) that can identify the determined out-of-design symbol in the output buffer. When the fluctuation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can specify the determined fluctuation pattern, and sets a game start command based on the fluctuation pattern in the output buffer. After setting the symbol command and the first game start command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 40a performs the same control as the control when starting the first special game described above. That is, the main control CPU 40a subtracts the second special hold number, determines the jackpot lottery (big hit determination), determines the jackpot symbol or the missed symbol based on the result of the jackpot lottery, determines the variation pattern based on the result of the jackpot lottery, and the symbol command. And the game start command. As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery according to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 29, and determines whether or not the big hit is achieved. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that executes such a process corresponds to the big hit lottery means (big hit determination means). Further, in the present embodiment, the jackpot lottery includes the jackpot lottery of the first special game performed in response to the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 28 and the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 29. It can be said that there is a big hit lottery for the second special game that is held according to the above. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

Then, when the special symbol start process is completed, the main control CPU 40a executes a special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start processing is derived when the fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern elapses. In this way, based on the result of the big hit lottery, the first special symbol display unit 22a of the information display device 22 executes the first special game as a special game in response to the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 28. It is possible, and the second special symbol display unit 22b of the information display device 22 can execute the second special game as a special game in response to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 29. Further, the main control CPU 40a gives an instruction to stop the fluctuation of the effect symbol when the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process elapses, and information for deriving the symbol combination by the effect symbol (hereinafter, the game). (Shown as end command) is set in the output buffer.

When the random number value related to the special game is stored by executing such a special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a is a random number value related to the first special game or a random number value related to the second special game. Regardless of whether or not, it is determined whether or not the special game is a big hit in the order of the earliest total acquisition order, and the special game is executed. That is, the special game is executed in the order in which the game balls enter the first starting port 28 and the second starting port 29.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the big hit process, the main control CPU 40a controls to give a big hit game based on the big hit symbol (type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. That is, the main control CPU 40a grants the jackpot game by executing the jackpot process.

When the big hit special game ends, the main control CPU 40a first sets information (hereinafter, referred to as an opening command) that can specify the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing the round game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 so that the big winning opening 31 is opened based on the opening pattern determined by the big hit symbol (type of big hit), and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 so that the large winning opening 31 is closed when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 40a repeats the process for executing such a round game until the predetermined number of round games is completed.

Further, each time the main control CPU 40a starts a round game, information that can specify the start of the round game (hereinafter referred to as a round command) is set in the output buffer. Further, each time the main control CPU 40a ends a round game, information that can specify the end of the round game (hereinafter referred to as a round end command) is set in the output buffer.

In particular, the main control CPU 40a is defined as a jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) in the operation round game in which the distribution member 38 is operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state among the plurality of round games. Based on the distribution control information, the distribution actuator A3 is controlled to control the operation of the distribution member 38.

Specifically, the main control CPU 40a counts the number of balls entered into the large winning opening 31 in the operation round game based on the detection signal from the special winning sensor SE3. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a is based on the detection signal from the special winning sensor SE3, and the number of balls entered into the large winning opening 31 not only in the activated round game but also in the non-operated round game. Is counting.

The main control CPU 40a refers to the distribution control information defined in the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot), and the number of game balls that have entered the jackpot 31 determines the start condition of the short distribution control. When it is determined that the number of balls to be entered is the number of balls to be entered, the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and the short distribution control is started. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs the short distribution control until the end condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and when the end condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 is divided from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. Operate in the minute state and end the short distribution control.

Specifically, when any of the types of big hits is decided, a short swing is triggered by the fact that the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening 31 in each operation round game is "1". The start condition of the minute control is satisfied, and the main control CPU 40a operates the distribution member 38 so as to take the first distribution state based on the short distribution control. Then, the main control CPU 40a counts the elapsed time after the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied. When a predetermined time (0.028s in the present embodiment) has elapsed, or when the end condition of each operation round game is satisfied, the end condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and the main control CPU 40a is the first. The distribution member 38 is operated so as to take two distribution states.

The main control CPU 40a refers to the distribution control information defined in the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot), and the number of game balls that have entered the jackpot 31 determines the start condition of the long distribution control. When it is determined that the number of balls to be entered is the number of balls to be entered, the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, and the long distribution control is started. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs the long distribution control until the end condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, and when the end condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 is divided from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. Operate in the minute state and end the long distribution control.

Specifically, when a big hit based on the symbols Za to Zc is determined, the number of game balls entered into the large winning opening 31 in the first round game as the second operation round game is "2". With this as an opportunity, the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, and the main control CPU 40a operates the distribution member 38 so as to take the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. When the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined, the main control CPU 40a does not perform long distribution control in the first round game.

When the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a stores information indicating the passage of the game ball to the special passage area 36 in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when the game ball passes through the special passing area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a outputs information (hereinafter, referred to as a special passing command) that can specify the passage of the game ball to the special passing area 36. Set to.

When the final round game is completed, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. When the ending time elapses, the main control CPU 40a ends the jackpot game.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state in the main base state flag in all types of jackpots, triggered by the start of the ending time. The main base state flag is a flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and is a flag that can specify whether to control the low base state, the first high base state, or the second high base state. be.

Further, the main control CPU 40a specifies the game state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of the big hit, and whether or not the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. Then, the main control CPU 40a specifies the upper limit number of times corresponding to the specific result as the first upper limit number of times that can be controlled in the first high base state, and sets a value that can specify the first upper limit number of times in the main high base number of times counter. do. The main height base number counter is a counter assigned to the main control RAM 40c and for counting the number of executions of a special game that can be controlled in a high base state (first high base state or second high base state).

Specifically, in the main control CPU 40a, the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Za, and the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When it is specified that it has been done, "697" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. In the main control CPU 40a, the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Za, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When specified, "597" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. In other cases, the main control CPU 40a specifies "100" as the first upper limit number of times.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a identifies that the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the jackpot game with the input of the ending command as an opportunity, the main control CPU 40a specifies that all types of jackpots are controlled to a high probability state. Set the possible values in the primary probability state flag. The main probability state flag is assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and is a flag that can specify whether to control the low probability state or the high probability state. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a predetermined number of times (“100” in this embodiment) that can be controlled in the high probability state in the main high probability number counter. The main high probability number counter is assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and is a counter for counting the number of executions of a special game that can be controlled in a high probability state.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the game ball has not passed through the special passing area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a controls all types of big hits to a low probability state. Set a value that can be specified in the main probability state flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the special number of times in the main low probability number of times counter. The main low probability number counter is assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and is a counter for counting the number of executions of the special game executed after being controlled to the low probability state.

Then, each time the special game is executed, the main control CPU 40a is set to "0" among the main high base number counter, the main high probability number counter, and the main low probability number counter assigned to the main control RAM 40c. No counter is subtracted by "1". In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from various counters at the end of the special game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from various counters at the start of the special game. You may.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the first upper limit number of times is different between the case where the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is determined as the type of big hit, and the other cases. be. Further, in the present embodiment, the first upper limit number of times is controlled to a low probability state after the end of the big hit game when the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is determined as the type of the big hit.

As described above, the main control CPU 40a may be controlled to a low probability state after the end of the big hit game, or may be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game. In particular, the main control CPU 40a controls the game ball to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game when the game ball passes through the special passing area 36 in the big hit game, while the game ball passes through the special passing area 36 in the big hit game. When not, control to a low probability state after the end of the big hit game. Then, when the main control CPU 40a is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a can control the high probability state until a specified number of special games are executed without winning the big hit lottery. When the special game of is executed and a predetermined control condition is satisfied, the game is controlled to a low probability state.

That is, when the main control CPU 40a controls to the second high base state, the second upper limit number of times (in the present embodiment) without winning the big hit lottery regardless of the first upper limit number of times controlled to the first high base state. It is controlled to the second high base state until the special game (759 times) is executed.

Further, the main control CPU 40a is not a big hit in the second high base state, but is a big hit in the low base state after being controlled to the low base state triggered by the execution of the special game of the second upper limit number of times. It does not control to a high base state when a predetermined number of special games are executed.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a is controlled to the first high-probability state or the low-probability state after the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a is controlled to the second high-probability state.

Set to. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to a high probability state in the main probability state flag, information that can specify that it is in a high probability state (hereinafter referred to as a high probability state command). ) Is set in the output buffer.

When the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state in the main base state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs information that can be specified to be in the low base state (hereinafter referred to as a low base state command) as an output buffer. Set to. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state in the main base state flag, information that can specify that it is in the first high base state (hereinafter, first). (Shown as a high-base state command) is set in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the second high base state in the main base state flag, information that can specify that the main base state is in the second high base state (hereinafter referred to as the second high base state). (Shown as a status command) is set in the output buffer.

Next, the normal symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. Ordinary symbol input processing is performed as interrupt processing.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 33 based on whether or not the detection signal has been input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 33, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 33, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). do. When the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the normal hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the hold condition of the normal game is satisfied. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so as to display the normal hold number after the update.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the random number is a random number used for the winning lottery of the ordinary symbol, a random number used for determining the ordinary winning symbol, a random number used for determining the fluctuation time of the ordinary game, and the like. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for a normal game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for a normal game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The normal symbol start process is performed as an interrupt process.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when it is not in a normal hit game and is not in a normal game, while it makes a negative determination when it is in a normal hit game or in a normal game. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is "1" or more. When the normal hold number is not "1" or more (when it is zero (0)), the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the updated normal hold number is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the normal game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first, the main control CPU 40a erases the random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the normal hit based on the read random number information, the current game state, and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a wins a normal hit with the same probability in the case where the current gaming state is in the low base state and in the case where the current gaming state is in the high base state, and the normal hit lottery is in the low base state. It can be said that the lottery is won with the same probability in the first high base state and the second high base state, but the lottery is not limited to this. For example, the normal winning lottery may be a lottery in which the winning is higher in the high base state (first high base state and second high base state) than in the low base state. Further, for example, the normal winning lottery may be a lottery in which the winning is performed with a higher probability in the case of the second high base state than in the case of the first high base state, and in the case of the second high base state. The lottery may be won with a higher probability in the case of the first high base state than in the case of the first high base state. Moreover, any combination of these combinations may be adopted.

When winning a normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal hit symbol to be derived in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game. When the main control CPU 40a determines the fluctuation time of the normal game, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal start command) that can specify the determined fluctuation time in the output buffer. The normal start command may be information that can specify the result of the winning lottery of the normal symbol. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

If the normal hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal outlier symbol to be derived in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game. When the main control CPU 40a determines the fluctuation time of the normal game, the main control CPU 40a sets a normal start command capable of specifying the determined fluctuation time in the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

Then, the main control CPU 40a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a is an information display device so as to start the normal game and derive the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses. 22 is controlled.

Next, the normal hit processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 29 based on the current gaming state, and the second starting port 29 is opened based on the determined opening pattern. As such, the actuator A1 is normally controlled. In particular, when the above-mentioned open time extension control is adopted, the main control CPU 40a determines the open pattern for the low base in the low base state and in the second high base state regardless of the normal hit symbol. Determine the open pattern for the second high base. On the other hand, in the first high base state, the main control CPU 40a determines the open pattern for the first high base corresponding to the determined normal hit symbol among the plurality of types of open patterns for the first high base.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a triggers the start of the ending time, the game state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of the big hit, and whether or not the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. The heel is specified, and the specified item is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can specify the determined first upper limit number of times in the fluctuation number counter. The fluctuation count counter is assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and is a counter for counting the number of executions of the special game executed after the base state changes. Specifically, in the main control CPU 40a, the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Za, and the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When specified, "697" as the first upper limit number of times is set in the fluctuation number counter. The main control CPU 40a specifies that the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Za, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When this is done, "597" as the first upper limit number of times is set in the fluctuation number counter. In other cases, the main control CPU 40a sets "100" as the first upper limit number of times in the fluctuation number counter.

Then, each time the special game is executed, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the fluctuation count counter when "0" is not set in the fluctuation counter. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from various counters at the end of the special game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from various counters at the start of the special game. You may.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines the fluctuation pattern in the special symbol start processing, the game state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of the big hit, and whether the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. Refer to the fluctuation pattern determination table based on whether or not, the value set in the main base state flag, and the value set in the fluctuation count counter.

In the present embodiment, the effect mode is controlled so as to be transitionable on condition that each hit game is completed or a special game is started. The effect mode corresponds to the type of the background image and the character image of the effect display device 27, can be specified by the player from at least one of the background image and the character image, and is displayed regardless of the type of the variation pattern. Is. The production mode can be executed over a plurality of consecutive special games.

As shown in FIG. 8, the present embodiment has a plurality of types of effect modes. The plurality of types of effect modes are roughly classified into four types of effect modes MA to MD.
The effect mode MA is an effect mode when the base is low, and the effect modes MB to MD are the effect modes when the base is high. In particular, in the present embodiment, the effect modes MB and MC are the effect modes when the first high base state is present, and the effect mode MD is the effect mode when the first high base state and the second high base state are present. Is. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect mode MA is an effect mode that can be controlled only in the low probability state, and is not controlled in the high probability state. The effect modes MB to MD are effect modes that can be controlled in both the high-probability state and the low-probability state, and may be controlled in the high-probability state. ..

As shown in FIG. 9, when it is controlled to the low base state, it is controlled to the effect mode MA. On the other hand, when it is controlled to the high base state, it is controlled to any of the effect modes MB to MD. In particular, in the present embodiment, when it is controlled to the first high base state, it is controlled to any of the effect modes MB to MD, and when it is controlled to the second high base state, it is controlled to the effect mode MD. Is controlled by.

Regardless of whether it is controlled to the low base state or the high base state, if the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA, the mode MB shifts to the effect mode MB after the jackpot game is completed. .. Regardless of whether it is controlled to the low base state or the high base state, if the jackpot is based on the symbols Zb and Zc, the effect mode MC is set after the jackpot game is completed. Transition. If a big hit is based on the symbol Za when the base is controlled to a low base state, the game shifts to the effect mode MC after the big hit game is completed. If the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the case of being controlled to the high base state, the mode shifts to the effect mode MD after the jackpot game is completed. When the special game is executed a special number of times after being controlled to the low probability state, the low base state ends, and the second high base state is controlled, the mode shifts to the effect mode MD. In this way, the effect mode MD is the case where the jackpot is based on the symbol Za when controlled to the high base state, and the case where the special game is executed a special number of times after being controlled to the low probability state. It can be said that this is a production mode that can be used for both.

When the high base state is controlled, the end condition of the high base state is satisfied, and when the low base state is controlled, the mode shifts to the effect mode MA. In the present embodiment, when the game is controlled to the first high base state after the big hit game is finished, it is controlled to any of the effect modes MB to MD, but after the big hit game is finished, in the first upper limit number of special games. When the first high base state ends and the low base state is controlled, the mode shifts to the effect mode MA. Further, when controlled to the second high base state, after being controlled to the second high base state, the special game of the second upper limit number of times is executed, the second high base state ends, and the game is controlled to the low base state. Occasionally, it shifts to the production mode MA.

Next, the control regarding the effect mode executed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the power is turned on and the low base state is determined based on the control information from the main control CPU 40a, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the effect mode flag with information indicating the effect mode MA. The effect mode flag is assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c and is a flag indicating the effect mode to stay.

When the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the first high base state is set based on the control information from the main control CPU 40a when the power is turned on, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the effect mode flag with information indicating the effect mode MB. The sub-control CPU 41a identifies the game state when the jackpot lottery is won, the type of jackpot, and whether or not the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the jackpot game, triggered by the input of the ending command. Set the effect mode flag to indicate the effect mode. In the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 41a is specified to be a big hit based on the symbol ZA, the effect mode flag is set with information indicating the effect mode MB. When the sub-control CPU 41a identifies that it is a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the information indicating the effect mode MD in the effect mode flag. When the sub-control CPU 41a is specified to be other than that, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the effect mode flag with information indicating the effect mode MC. When the power is turned on and the sub-control CPU 41a identifies that it is in the second high base state based on the control information from the main control CPU 40a, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the effect mode flag with information indicating the effect mode MD. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the effect mode flag with information indicating the effect mode MA, triggered by the input of the low base state command in the high base state.

Then, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 27 to display a background image of the type corresponding to the value set in the effect mode flag.
As described above, the effect mode MA is an effect mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games among the special games from the start to the end of the control to the low base state. When it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, then it is controlled to the low base state, and then it is controlled to the second high base state, the effect mode MA is set. It is an effect mode controlled in at least one of the time from being controlled to the low base state to being controlled to the second high base state.

Further, the effect mode MB is an effect mode in which the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA, and the game shifts (is controlled) when the first high base state is controlled after the jackpot game is completed. Further, the effect mode MC is an effect mode in which a big hit is made based on the symbol Za in the low base state, and the game shifts (is controlled) when the game is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and then the first one. Among the special games from the start to the end of the control to the high base state, it is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games.

The effect mode MD is an effect mode in which the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and the game shifts to (controls) when the game is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, and then the first high base. Among the special games from the start to the end of the control to the state, it is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games.

The effect mode MD is an effect mode that shifts (is controlled) when the control from the low base state to the second high base state is performed, and then from the start to the end of the control to the second high base state. This is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games among the special games of.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that controls the effect mode corresponds to the effect mode control means. In the present embodiment, the effect mode MA is set to the normal effect mode, the effect mode MB is set to the first specific effect mode, the effect mode MC is set to the second special effect mode, and the effect mode MD is set to the first special effect mode and the second specific effect mode. Corresponds to each mode.

The final effect control process executed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described. The final effect control process is a process called at predetermined intervals.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 to execute the final effect when the variation pattern specified by the game start command is the variation patterns HP61 and HP71, triggered by the input of the game start command, and finally. The effect control process is terminated. In this way, the effect display device 27 executes the final effect when the fluctuation patterns HP61 and HP71 are determined. That is, the final effect is when the jackpot is based on the symbols ZA, Zb, Zc, or when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the low base state, during the 100th special game after the end of the jackpot game. It is an effect that is executed, and is an effect that is not executed after the end of the big hit game when the big hit is based on the symbol Za in the high base state.

Next, the first rush effect control process executed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described. The first rush effect control process is a process called every predetermined cycle.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to execute the first rush effect with the input of the ending command as an opportunity, and ends the first rush effect control process. As a result, when the effect display device 27 is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, the effect display device 27 can specify that it is controlled to the high base state from the timing during the big hit game. Execute.

Next, the second rush effect control process executed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described. The second rush effect control process is a process called every predetermined cycle.
The sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the second high base state command has been input. Then, when it is determined that the second high base state command has been input, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the second rush effect start process for starting the execution of the second rush effect, and ends the second rush effect control process. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the jackpot game, both when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and when it is not. 2 The rush effect is executed.

As described in detail above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) A big hit based on the symbol Za in the low base state, and a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and a first after the end of the big hit game, than when controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. When controlled to the high base state, the number of executions of the special game from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state is smaller. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation of being controlled to the second high base state, and to pay attention to whether it is controlled to the high base state or the low base state when a big hit occurs. It is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(2) In the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and after the jackpot game is completed and controlled to the first high base state, the special game of 597 times or 697 times is executed without winning the jackpot lottery. Sometimes controlled to a low base state. In the low base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and after the big hit game is finished, after being controlled to the first high base state, it becomes the low base state when 100 special games are executed without winning the big hit lottery. Be controlled. 597 times or 697 times is more than 100 times, and the special number of times, which is the number of times the special game is executed from being controlled to the low probability state to being controlled to the second high base state, is larger than 597 times. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the low base state, and the first after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to control the first high base state in a larger number of special games than when controlled to the high base state. Therefore, in order to specify the number of special games controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to pay attention to whether the game is controlled to the high base state or the low base state when the big hit lottery is won. It is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(3) Further, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, and when the jackpot is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and the first high base state is reached after the end of the jackpot game. The number of executions of the special game executed from the time when the game is controlled to the low base state to the time when the game is controlled to the second high base state is different. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation of being controlled to the second high base state, and it is possible to pay attention to whether the type of jackpot is a jackpot based on symbol ZA or a jackpot based on symbol Za. It is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(4) In particular, the second special game is a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game. It is a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and it becomes a symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game than when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. , The number of executions of the special game executed from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state is small. Therefore, it is possible to give a privilege for winning the big hit lottery in the second special game, which is more advantageous for the player than the first special game, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(5) It becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and is controlled to the first high base state after the big hit game is completed, and then controlled to the low base state when 100 special games are executed without winning the big hit lottery. Will be done. On the other hand, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and after the big hit game is finished, it is controlled to the first high base state, and then 597 times or 697 times of special games are executed without winning the big hit lottery. When it is controlled to a low base state. 597 times is larger than 100 times, and 599 times from being controlled to the low probability state to being controlled to the second high base state is larger than 597 times. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to control to the first high base state in a special game with a larger number of times than when. Therefore, in order to specify the number of special games controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to pay attention to whether the type of jackpot is a jackpot based on symbol ZA or a jackpot based on symbol Za. Can be improved.

(6) Further, when it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, for example, even if it is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the big hit game, the first After being controlled from the high base state to the low base state, it is controlled to the second high base state. Further, for example, even when the jackpot game is controlled to the high probability state and then to the low probability state, the second high base is controlled after the first high base state is controlled to the low base state. Controlled by the state. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the second high base state even after being controlled from the high base state to the low base state. It is possible to raise the expectation for being controlled and to improve the interest in the game.

(7) It is possible to control the high probability state until 100 special games are executed after the end of the big hit game, and the 100 times that can be controlled to the high probability state are 597 times that can be controlled to the first high base state. Less than 697 times. Therefore, in the high-base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and when the jackpot game is controlled to the high-probability state and the first high-probability state, the high-probability state is controlled to the low-probability state. However, it is possible to raise the expectation that the player will be continuously controlled to the first high base state, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(8) When controlled to the second high base state, it is controlled to the second high base state until 759 special games are executed without winning the big hit lottery. The 759 times controlled to the second high base state is larger than the special number of 579 times and 679 times controlled to the second high base state from the control to the low probability state to the control to the second high base state. Therefore, the number of executions of the special game controlled to the second high base state is larger than the number of executions of the special game from the control to the low probability state to the control to the second high base state, and the second It is possible to raise the expectation that the game will be controlled to a high base state, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(9) In the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and after the big hit game is finished, it is controlled to the first high base state, and then when it is controlled to the low base state, it is controlled to the low base state and then the first. 2 The number of times the special game is executed until it is controlled to the high base state is less than 597 times. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation of being controlled from the low base state to the second high base state, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(10) In the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and after the big hit game is finished, it is controlled to the first high base state, and then when it is controlled to the low base state, it is controlled to the low base state and then the first. 2 The number of times the special game is executed until it is controlled to the high base state is smaller than the maximum number of holdings. Therefore, if the number of holdings of the special game reaches the holding upper limit number by the time the first high base state is controlled to the low base state, the second is held at least after the execution of the special game of the holding upper limit number. It will be controlled to a high base state. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation of being controlled from the low base state to the second high base state, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(11) The number of executions (597 times) of the special game that can be continuously controlled in the low probability state and the first high base state is larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state. Therefore, even if the game is continuously controlled to a low probability state and a high base state until 597 special games are executed without becoming a big hit after the big hit game is completed, there is a possibility of winning the big hit lottery. It is possible to raise the expectation for winning the big hit lottery, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(12) The second upper limit number is a number larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state. Therefore, it continues until the special game of the second upper limit number is executed, and even if it is controlled to the second high base state and the low probability state, until the special game of the second upper limit number is executed. The probability of winning the big hit lottery can be increased, the expectation for winning the big hit lottery can be raised, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(13) The variation pattern determination table T14 is a table in the first high base state in which the big hit is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled after the end of the big hit game. The variation pattern determination table T12 is a table in the first high base state in which the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the low base state and is controlled after the end of the jackpot game. The variation pattern determination table in the second high base state does not have the variation pattern determination table T12, but has the variation pattern determination table T14. Therefore, in the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and the fluctuation pattern is determined in the same manner as when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state and when the jackpot game is controlled to the second high base state. The variation pattern can be determined based on the table T14. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the fluctuation pattern determination table, enhance the effect of the effect, and improve the interest in the game.

(15) When the big hit lottery is not won, the fluctuation pattern determination table T14 is a table in which the fluctuation pattern HP35 having a shorter fluctuation time than the fluctuation pattern HP31 is determined with a higher probability than the fluctuation pattern determination table T12. .. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the symbol Za in the low base state. It becomes a big hit based on, and the fluctuation time of the special game tends to be shorter than when the first high base state is controlled after the big hit game is completed. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(16) When the big hit lottery is won, the fluctuation pattern determination table T14 is a table in which the fluctuation patterns HP53 and HP54 whose fluctuation time is shorter than the fluctuation pattern HP51 are determined with a higher probability than the fluctuation pattern determination table T12. .. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the symbol Za in the low base state. It becomes a big hit based on, and the fluctuation time of the special game tends to be shorter than when the first high base state is controlled after the big hit game is completed. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(17) The variation pattern determination table T14 is a table in the first high base state in which the big hit is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled after the end of the big hit game. The variation pattern determination table T11 is a table in the first high base state in which the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA and is controlled after the jackpot game is completed. The variation pattern determination table in the second high base state does not have the variation pattern determination table T11, but has the variation pattern determination table T14. Therefore, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and it becomes a big hit. The variation pattern can be determined differently than when controlled to the first high base state after the end of the game. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(18) When the big hit lottery is not won, the fluctuation pattern determination table T14 is a table in which the fluctuation pattern HP35 having a shorter fluctuation time than the fluctuation pattern HP31 is determined with a higher probability than the fluctuation pattern determination table T11. .. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA. The fluctuation time of the special game tends to be shorter than when the first high base state is controlled after the jackpot game is completed. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(19) When the big hit lottery is won, the fluctuation pattern determination table T14 is a table in which the fluctuation patterns HP53 and HP54 whose fluctuation time is shorter than the fluctuation pattern HP51 are determined with a higher probability than the fluctuation pattern determination table T11. .. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA. The fluctuation time of the special game tends to be shorter than when the first high base state is controlled after the jackpot game is completed. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(20) The fluctuation pattern determination table T01 becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and becomes a low base state when controlled to the first high base state and then to the low base state after the end of the big hit game. It is a table from being controlled to being controlled to the second high base state. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern determination table T01 becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za regardless of the base state when the big hit lottery is won, and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then to the low base state. It is a table when it is done. Then, the fluctuation pattern is determined based on the fluctuation pattern determination table T01 in the low base state when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the low base state. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the fluctuation pattern determination table, enhance the effect of the effect, and improve the interest in the game.

(21) Further, the probability of determining the off-reach variation pattern differs between the variation pattern determination table T12 and the variation pattern determination table T14. Therefore, in the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and the jackpot lottery has the same determination probability when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state and when the jackpot game is controlled to the second high base state. If you do not win, you can determine the deviation reach fluctuation pattern. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the determination conditions, enhance the effect of the production, and improve the interest in the game.

(22) Further, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, and when the jackpot is controlled based on the symbol Za in the low base state, the jackpot is the second after the end of the jackpot game. 1 The deviation reach fluctuation pattern can be determined with a different determination probability than when controlled to a high base state. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(23) The variation pattern determination table T12 is a table in which the out-of-reach variation pattern can be determined, and the variation pattern determination table T14 has a lower probability of determining the out-of-reach variation pattern than the variation pattern determination table T12. This is a decidability condition in which the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern is not determined. Therefore, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the low base state. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to determine the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern than when the first high base state is controlled after the end of the big hit game. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(24) The fluctuation pattern determination tables T12 and T14 are determination conditions in which the probability of determining the out-of-reach effect variation pattern is lower than that of the variation pattern determination table T01. For this reason, when controlled to a high base state, it is more difficult to determine the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern than when controlled to a low base state, the execution of the special game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest in the game is improved. Can be planned.

(25) The probability of determining the out-of-reach variation pattern differs between the variation pattern determination table T11 and the variation pattern determination table T14. Therefore, in the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state, and when the jackpot is controlled based on the symbol ZA, the jackpot is controlled to the first high base state after the jackpot game is completed. It is possible to determine the deviation reach fluctuation pattern with a determination probability different from that when it is performed. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(26) The variation pattern determination table T11 is a table in which the out-of-reach variation pattern can be determined, and the variation pattern determination table T14 has a lower probability of determining the out-of-reach variation pattern than the variation pattern determination table T11.

Therefore, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and the big hit game. It becomes more difficult to determine the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern than when the first high base state is controlled after the end of. Therefore, the execution of the special game can be smoothly promoted, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(27) The fluctuation pattern determination tables T11 and T14 are determination conditions in which the probability of determining the out-of-reach effect variation pattern is lower than that of the variation pattern determination table T01. For this reason, when controlled to a high base state, it is more difficult to determine the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern than when controlled to a low base state, the execution of the special game can be smoothly advanced, and the interest in the game is improved. Can be planned.

(28) The effect mode MD becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and both when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game. This is a controlled production mode. The effect mode MC is an effect mode in which the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the low base state and is controlled when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state. Therefore, in the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and the effect mode MD is the same when controlled to the first high base state and when controlled to the second high base state after the end of the jackpot game. Can be controlled to. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the effect mode, enhance the effect of the effect, and improve the interest in the game.

(29) Further, when the big hit is based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and when the big hit is based on the symbol Za in the low base state, the big hit is the second after the end of the big hit game. 1 It is possible to control the effect mode to be different from that when the high base state is controlled. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(30) The effect mode MB is an effect mode in which the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA and is controlled when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state. The effect mode MD becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and is controlled both when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game. It is a production mode. When it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and when it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. It can be controlled to different production modes. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(31) The effect mode MD becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and both when it is controlled to the first high base state and when it is controlled to the second high base state after the end of the big hit game. Among the special games from the start to the end of the control to the high base state, it is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games. Therefore, in the high base state, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za, and a plurality of consecutive hits are obtained when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state and when the jackpot game is controlled to the second high base state. It can be controlled to the production mode MD in one special game. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the effect mode, enhance the effect of the effect, and improve the interest in the game.

(32) When the effect mode MA is a big hit based on the symbol Za, is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, is controlled to the low base state, and is then controlled to the second high base state. This is an effect mode controlled from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state. Therefore, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and in the low base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and it becomes the first high after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to control to the effect mode MA in the low base state in the same manner as when controlled to the base state. Therefore, it is possible to standardize the effect mode, enhance the effect of the effect, and improve the interest in the game.

(33) The normal variable member 30 has a different opening mode in the normal hit game between the first high base state and the second high base state. Therefore, it is possible to give diversity to the conditions for controlling the high base state and the types of the high base state, and it is possible to pay attention to the conditions for controlling the high base state and the types of the high base state. Can also pay attention to the open mode in the ordinary hit game, and can improve the interest in the game.

(34) The plurality of types of opening modes of the normally variable member 30 in the first high base state are different from the one type of opening mode of the normally variable member 30 in the second high base state. Therefore, the opening mode of the ordinary variable member 30 in the first high base state can be varied, and the opening mode is controlled to the first high base state by setting the opening mode different from the second high base state. It is possible to pay attention to whether or not the game is controlled to the second high base state, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(35) A plurality of types of opening modes as the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the first high base state are the total upper limit opening time during which the second starting port 29 can take the open state in one normal hit game. It's the same. Therefore, it is possible to give diversity to the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the first high base state, and to set the same total upper limit opening time in a plurality of types of opening modes, so that the game to the second starting port 29 can be played. It is possible to maintain fairness regarding the entry of balls and to improve the interest in the game.

(36) The normal winning lottery is a lottery in which the first high base state and the second high base state are won with the same probability, and the fluctuation time of the normal game is the first high base state and the second high base state. It's the same time. Therefore, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery can be the same in the first high base state and the second high base state, and the fluctuation time of the normal game can be the same. It is possible to maintain fairness regarding the frequency of execution of ordinary games, and to improve the interest in the game.

(37) In the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the first high base state and the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the second high base state, the second starting port 29 takes an open state in one normal hit game. The total upper limit opening time that can be different. As a result, it is possible to make the degree of advantage different with respect to the opening mode of the normally variable member 30, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(38) The normal hit game given in the second high base state has a shorter upper limit control time of the normal hit game than the normal hit game given in the first high base state. Therefore, the second high base state can increase the possibility of digesting the normal hit game earlier than the first high base state, and the type of the high base state and the upper limit control time of the normal hit game can be determined. It is possible to draw attention and improve the interest in the game.

(39) In the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the second high base state, the second starting port 29 is opened in one normal hit game as compared with the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the first high base state. The total upper limit opening time that can be taken is long. Therefore, it is possible to make the degree of advantage of the total upper limit opening time different between the first high base state and the second high base state, and to pay attention to the type of the high base state and the total upper limit opening time. It is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(40) In the normal hit game given in the first high base state and the normal hit game given in the second high base state, the normal variable member 30 may take an open state in one normal hit game. The maximum number of times that can be opened is different, and it is possible to pay attention to the type of high base state and the maximum number of times that can be opened, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(41) In the plurality of types of opening modes as the opening mode of the normal variable member 30 in the first high base state, the upper limit number of times that the normal variable member 30 can take the open state in one normal hit game is a plurality of times. It is an open mode. The plurality of types of opening modes are the upper limit number of times that the normal variable member 30 can take the open state in one normal hit game and the closure in which the normal variable member 30 can take the closed state in one normal hit game. The time is the same, and the upper limit opening time at which the second starting port 29 can take the open state once is different. Therefore, regarding the opening mode of the normally variable member 30 in the first high base state, in the plurality of types of opening modes, the upper limit number of times of opening and the closing time are the same, but the upper limit opening time is different, so that the normally variable member is normally variable member. It is possible to give diversity to the opening modes of 30 and to pay attention to the upper limit opening time, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

(42) When controlled to the second high base state, the second rush that can be specified to be controlled to the high base state (second high base state) after the execution of the special game of a special number of times is completed. The production is executed. Therefore, by executing the second rush effect when the control is performed in the second high base state, it becomes possible to specify that the control is performed in the high base state, and there is a sense of expectation that the control will be performed in the high base state. It can be uplifted and the interest in the game can be improved.

(43) When the first high base state is controlled after the end of the big hit game, the first rush effect that can be specified to be controlled to the high base state (first high base state) from the timing during the big hit game. Is executed. Therefore, even when the game is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it is controlled to the high base state (first high base state) by executing the first rush effect. Can be specified, the expectation for being controlled to a high base state (first high base state) can be raised, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment that embodies the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the jackpot based on the symbol Za is a jackpot of a special game in which the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36, and is a jackpot based on the symbol Za in the high base state or the symbol Za in the low base state. The first upper limit is different depending on whether it is a big hit based on, but it is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, there is a big hit of a special game in which the game ball is difficult to pass through the special passing area 36, and the first upper limit number of times differs depending on whether the big hit is in the high base state or the big hit in the low base state. You may let me. In the following description, the same components and the same control contents as those in the first embodiment already described will be designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the second embodiment, of the 100 types of jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display unit 22b as the game result of the second special game, 25 types of jackpot symbols are on the symbol Za. 55 types of jackpot symbols are classified into symbol Zb, and 20 types of jackpot symbols are classified into symbol Zc.

As shown in FIG. 12, for each jackpot game, distribution control information indicating the control content of the distribution member 38 is defined. As a start condition of the long distribution control, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za and Zb, it is established when the number of balls entered by the special winning sensor SE3 in the operation round game becomes "2". do. On the other hand, as a start condition of the long distribution control, the big hit game based on the symbols ZA and Zc does not hold in the operation round game.

Further, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za and Zb, the short distribution control and the long distribution control are performed in the first round game. In the big hit game based on the symbols ZA and Zc, the short distribution control is performed in the first round game, but the long distribution control is not performed. Therefore, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za, Zb, at least the operation round game that enables the game ball to pass through the special passing area 36 is performed, while in the big hit game based on the symbols ZA, Zc, the big hit game is performed. An actuating round game that allows the game ball to pass through the special passage area 36 will not be performed. That is, it can be said that the jackpot based on ZA and Zc is a jackpot that is less likely to be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game than the jackpot based on Za and Zb.

As shown in FIG. 11, unless the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is determined, the jackpot game is controlled to a high probability state and a low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. In both cases, the first upper limit is 100 times. As described above, unless the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is determined, the same number of times as the predetermined number of times controlled in the high probability state is the first upper limit number of times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the low base state and the big hit based on the symbol Zc is determined, the first upper limit number of times becomes 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the big hit game.

On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is determined, the first upper limit number of times is 100 times when the jackpot game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. It will be larger than 597 times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is determined, the first upper limit number is larger than 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game. It will be 697 times.

In the big hit game based on the symbols ZA and Zc, since it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the special passing area 36, there is a high possibility that the game will be controlled to a low probability state after the big hit game is completed. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the symbols Za and Zb, since the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36, there is a high possibility that the game is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit game is completed. In particular, among the big hit games based on the symbols Za to Zc, in the big hit game based on the symbols Zc, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one big hit game is short, and the game ball passes through the special passing area 36. It can be said that it is a big hit game that is difficult to pass. Therefore, when the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is determined, the number of times larger than in other cases becomes the first upper limit number of times. Therefore, when the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is determined in the high base state, the number of times larger than in other cases is the first upper limit number of times.

In this way, the first high base state is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the big hit game is different between when the big hit is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state and when it is not. be. Further, in the first high base state, when a big hit is made based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, there are cases where the big hit is controlled to a low probability state and a case where the big hit is controlled after the end of the big hit game. It is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the game is different.

In particular, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state and is controlled to the high probability state and the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, the first high base in the 1st to 697th special games. It is controlled by the state, and is controlled to the low base state in the 698th special game, and is controlled to the second high base state in the 699 to 1458th special game. When it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, when it is controlled to the low probability state and the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the first high base state in the 1st to 597th special games. It is controlled, controlled to a low base state in the 598th special game, and controlled to a second high base state in the 599 to 1358th special game. In this way, when a big hit based on the symbol Zc is made in the high base state, when the big hit game is controlled and the first high base state is controlled, the low base state is controlled and then the second high base state is reached. The number of executions of the special game until it is controlled is one. On the other hand, in other cases, it will be 498 times or 598 times.

That is, when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then controlled to the low base state, it is executed from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state. The number of executions of the special game is smaller when the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state than in other cases. In particular, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then to the low base state, it is controlled to the low base state and then the second high. The number of executions of the special game executed before being controlled to the base state is smaller than the first upper limit number, and particularly smaller than the hold upper limit number of each special game.

In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one big hit game, the possibility of being controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, and the high base state after the end of the big hit game are controlled. Comprehensively comparing the number of executions of the special game, it can be said that the second special game is a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game.

In the present embodiment, when the second special game is executed in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol Zc is won, the jackpot game has a small upper limit of the number of round games, and is controlled to a low probability state after the jackpot game is completed. In that case, the game progress is disadvantageous to the player. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game, although one special game is straddled, it is possible to control the first high base state and the second high base state, and the degree of advantage for the player can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot based on the symbol Zc corresponds to the specific jackpot and the second jackpot. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol Zc corresponds to the first special condition, and the symbol Zc is set in the low base state. When the jackpot is based on, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol Zc corresponds to the second special condition. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first specific condition, and the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state. At that time, the first condition that is satisfied after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol Zc corresponds to the second specific condition.

In the big hit process, when the big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb is determined, the number of balls entered into the big winning opening 31 in the first round game as the second operation round game becomes "2". With this as an opportunity, the start condition for long distribution control is satisfied. Then, the main control CPU 40a operates the distribution member 38 so as to take the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. When the jackpot based on the symbols ZA and Zc is determined, the main control CPU 40a does not perform long distribution control in the first round game.

In the game state processing, the main control CPU 40a has a high base state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When it is specified that the passage has been passed, "697" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. In the main control CPU 40a, the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When specified, "597" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. In other cases, the main control CPU 40a specifies "100" as the first upper limit number of times.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the first upper limit number of times is different between the case where the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Zc is determined as the type of big hit, and the other cases. be. Further, in the present embodiment, the first upper limit number of times is controlled to a low probability state after the end of the big hit game when the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Zc is determined as the type of the big hit. The number of times is different between when and when controlled to a high probability state.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, and when controlled to the high probability state and the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, the big hit lottery is subsequently won. Without doing so, control to a low base state when 697 special games are executed. The main control CPU 40a becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, and when controlled to the low probability state and the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, the special 597 times are not won in the big hit lottery thereafter. Control to a low base state when the game is run. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a becomes a big hit based on the symbols ZA, Za, Zb, or becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the low base state and is controlled to the first high base state, then the big hit lottery is won. It controls to a low base state when 100 special games are executed.

In the game state processing of the sub control board 41, the sub control CPU 41a has a high base state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and a special passage area during the big hit game. When it is specified that the game ball has passed 36, "697" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. The sub-control CPU 41a is in a high base state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When specified, "597" is specified as the first upper limit number of times. In other cases, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies "100" as the first upper limit number of times.

The variation pattern determination table T12 is a big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb, and is a table referred to when the current game state is the first high base state except for the 100th special game after the end of the big hit game. .. The variation pattern determination table T12 is a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the low base state, and is a table referred to when the current game state is the first high base state except for the 100th special game after the end of the big hit game. Is.

The variation pattern determination table T13 is a big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb, and is a table referred to when the current game state is the first high base state in the 100th special game after the end of the big hit game. The variation pattern determination table T13 is a table that becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the low base state, and is referred to when the current game state is the first high base state in the 100th special game after the end of the big hit game. ..

The variation pattern determination table T14 is a table that becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, and is referred to when the current game state is the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. The variation pattern determination table T14 is a table referred to when the current gaming state is the second high base state.

In the second embodiment, the main control CPU 40a has a high base state when the big hit lottery is won, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When it is specified that the passage has been passed, "697" as the first upper limit number of times is set in the fluctuation number counter. The main control CPU 40a specifies that the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol Zc, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When this is done, "597" as the first upper limit number of times is set in the fluctuation number counter. In other cases, the main control CPU 40a sets "100" as the first upper limit number of times in the fluctuation number counter.

As shown in FIG. 13, regardless of whether the control is in the low base state or the high base state, when the big hit is based on the symbols Za and Zb, the big hit game After the end of, the mode shifts to the production mode MC. If a big hit is based on the symbol Zc when the base is controlled to a low base state, the game shifts to the effect mode MC after the big hit game is completed. If the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc when the base is controlled to be high, the mode shifts to the effect mode MD after the jackpot game is completed. In this way, the effect mode MD is a case where the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc when controlled to the high base state, and a case where the special game is executed a special number of times after being controlled to the low probability state. It can be said that this is a production mode that can be used for both.

In the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 41a is specified to be a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, the effect mode flag is set with information indicating the effect mode MD. When the sub-control CPU 41a identifies that it is a big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb or a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the low base state, the sub-control CPU 41a sets information indicating the effect mode MC in the effect mode flag.

As described above, the effect mode MC is an effect mode in which the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the low base state, and shifts (controlled) when the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state. In other words, the effect mode MC becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zc in the low base state, is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and then ends after the control to the first high base state starts. It is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games among the special games up to.

The effect mode MD is an effect mode in which a big hit is made based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, and the game shifts (is controlled) when the game is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and then the first high base. Among the special games from the start to the end of the control to the state, it is a production mode that can be continuously controlled in at least a plurality of consecutive special games.

As shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), in the second embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbols Za and Zb and the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state, the first embodiment is performed. In the form, it becomes a big hit based on the symbols Zb and Zc, and it is the same as the case where it is controlled to the first high base state after the big hit game is completed. In the second embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, in the first embodiment, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za and the first high after the end of the jackpot game. It is the same as when it is controlled to the base state.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment that embodies the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the jackpot based on the symbol Za is the jackpot of the second special game, and the first jackpot depends on whether the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state or the jackpot based on the symbol Za in the low base state. The maximum number of times is different, but it is not limited to this. In the third embodiment, the first upper limit number of times may be different depending on whether the jackpot of the first special game is achieved in the high base state or the jackpot of the first special game is achieved in the low base state. In the following description, the same components and the same control contents as those in the first embodiment already described will be designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the third embodiment, except when the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined, the probability of being controlled to a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game is low. Both when controlled by the stochastic state, the first upper limit number is 100 times. As described above, unless the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined, the same number of times as the predetermined number of times controlled in the high probability state is the first upper limit number of times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the low base state and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is determined, the first upper limit number of times becomes 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the big hit game.

On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined, the first upper limit number of times is 100 times when the jackpot game is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. It will be larger than 597 times. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is determined, the first upper limit number is larger than 100 times when the big hit game is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game. It will be 697 times.

Further, in the big hit game based on the symbol ZA, since it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the special passing area 36, there is a high possibility that the game will be controlled to a low probability state after the big hit game is completed. In particular, in the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one jackpot game is shorter than that in the jackpot game based on the symbols Za, Zb, and the game ball passes through the special passage area 36. It can be said that it is a big hit game that is difficult to pass. For this reason, when the jackpot lottery is won in the high base state and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined, the number of times larger than in other cases becomes the first upper limit number of times. Therefore, when the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is determined in the high base state, the number of times larger than in other cases is the first upper limit number of times.

In this way, the first high base state is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the big hit game differs between when the big hit is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state and when it is not. be. Further, in the first high base state, when a big hit is made based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, there are cases where the big hit is controlled to a low probability state and a case where the big hit is controlled after the end of the big hit game. It is a game state in which the upper limit of the number of special games that can be controlled after the end of the game is different.

In particular, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state and is controlled to the high probability state and the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, the first high base in the 1st to 697th special games. It is controlled by the state, and is controlled to the low base state in the 698th special game, and is controlled to the second high base state in the 699 to 1458th special game. When it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the low probability state and the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes the first high base state in the 1st to 597th special games. It is controlled, controlled to a low base state in the 598th special game, and controlled to a second high base state in the 599 to 1358th special game. In this way, when a big hit based on the symbol ZA is made in the high base state, when the big hit game is controlled and the first high base state is controlled, the low base state is controlled and then the second high base state is reached. The number of executions of the special game until it is controlled is one. On the other hand, in other cases, it will be 498 times or 598 times.

That is, when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then controlled to the low base state, it is executed from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state. The number of executions of the special game is smaller when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state than in other cases. In particular, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game and then to the low base state, it is controlled to the low base state and then the second high. The number of executions of the special game executed before being controlled to the base state is smaller than the first upper limit number, and particularly smaller than the hold upper limit number of each special game.

In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the special variable member 32 in one big hit game, the possibility of being controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, and the high base state after the end of the big hit game are controlled. Comprehensively comparing the number of executions of the special game, it can be said that the second special game is a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game.

In the present embodiment, when the first special game is executed and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is won, the jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the upper limit number of round games is smaller than the jackpot based on the symbols Za, Zb, and is low after the end of the jackpot game. There is a high possibility that it will be controlled by the stochastic state, and in that case, the game progress will be disadvantageous to the player. In particular, even when controlled to a high base state, if the execution of the second special game is not suspended and the first special game is executed and the jackpot based on the symbol ZA is won, the jackpot game After the end of, there is a high possibility that the game will be controlled to a low probability state, in which case the game progress will be disadvantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the first special game is executed in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is won, the first high base state and the second high are straddled once after the end of the big hit game. It can be controlled to the base state, and the degree of advantage for the player can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the specific jackpot and the first jackpot, and the jackpot based on the symbol Za corresponds to the second jackpot. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first special condition, and the symbol ZA is set in the low base state. When the jackpot is based on, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the second special condition. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA, the first condition established after the end of the jackpot game based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first specific condition, and the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state. At that time, the first condition that is satisfied after the end of the big hit game based on the symbol Za corresponds to the second specific condition.

When the main control CPU 40a specifies that the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and the game ball has passed through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. , "697" as the first upper limit number is set in the fluctuation number counter. The main control CPU 40a specifies that the game state when the big hit lottery is won is a high base state, the type of the big hit is a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. When this is done, "597" as the first upper limit number of times is set in the fluctuation number counter. In other cases, the main control CPU 40a sets "100" as the first upper limit number of times in the fluctuation number counter.

As shown in FIG. 16, regardless of whether the control is in the low base state or the high base state, when the big hit is based on the symbols Za to Zc, the big hit game After the end of, the mode shifts to the production mode MC. If the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA when the base is controlled to be low, the mode shifts to the effect mode MB after the jackpot game is completed. If the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the case of being controlled to the high base state, the mode shifts to the effect mode MD after the jackpot game is completed. In this way, the effect mode MD is the case where the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA when controlled to the high base state, and the case where the special game is executed a special number of times after being controlled to the low probability state. It can be said that this is a production mode that can be used for both.

In the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 41a is specified to be a big hit based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, the effect mode flag is set with information indicating the effect mode MD. When the sub-control CPU 41a identifies that it is a big hit based on the symbol ZA in the low base state, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the information indicating the effect mode MB in the effect mode flag.

Here, the gaming state, the determination condition of the fluctuation pattern, and the effect mode will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, in the third embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbols Za to Zc and the jackpot game is controlled to the first high base state, the first implementation is performed. In the form, it becomes a big hit based on the symbols Zb and Zc, and it is the same as the case where it is controlled to the first high base state after the big hit game is completed. In the third embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the low base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, in the first embodiment, the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA and the jackpot game ends. It is the same as the case where it is later controlled to the first high base state. In the third embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the jackpot game, in the first embodiment, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state. It is the same as the case where it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game.

As described in detail above, the third embodiment has the following effects.
(42) The second special game is a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game. It becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, and it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, than when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. In this case, the number of executions of the special game executed from the control to the low base state to the control to the second high base state is smaller. Therefore, it is possible to give a privilege for winning the big hit lottery in the first special game, which is more disadvantageous to the player than the second special game, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(43) In the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and then controlled to the low base state when the special game of 579 times or 679 times is executed. Will be done. On the other hand, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and then controlled to the low base state when 100 special games are executed. Therefore, in the high base state, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, and it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to control to the first high base state in a special game with a larger number of times than when. Therefore, in order to specify the number of special games controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to pay attention to whether the type of jackpot is a jackpot based on symbol ZA or a jackpot based on symbol Za. Can be improved.

In the fourth embodiment, the first embodiment is adopted as the premise configuration, but for example, the second embodiment may be adopted or the third embodiment may be adopted, and the same effect is obtained.

In the fourth embodiment, the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and after the jackpot game is completed, the game is controlled to the high probability state and the first high base state, and the 100th special game is completed without winning the jackpot lottery. Then, it is controlled to the low probability state and the first high base state. In addition, when the 597th special game ends without winning the big hit lottery after the big hit game ends, it is controlled to a low probability state and a low base state, and after the big hit game ends, the 598th time without winning the big hit lottery. When the special game of is finished, it is controlled to the low probability state and the second high base state.

In this case, after the jackpot game ends, in the 598th special game without winning the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern determination table T14. Further, after the end of the big hit game, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect mode MD in the 598th special game without winning the big hit lottery.

As described in detail above, the fourth embodiment has the following effects.
(44) The fluctuation pattern determination table T14 becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and is controlled to the low base state thereafter, the low base state. It is a table from being controlled to the second high base state. Therefore, the variation pattern determination table T14 becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and when it is controlled to the low base state thereafter. After that, it becomes a table when it is controlled to the second high base state. When a big hit is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, it is controlled to the first high base state, the low base state, and the second high base state after the end of the big hit game. In the same way, the fluctuation pattern can be determined based on the fluctuation pattern determination table T14. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(45) The effect mode MD becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, and is then controlled to the low base state. It is an effect mode from the time when it is performed until it is controlled to the second high base state. Therefore, the effect mode MD becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, and when it is controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big hit game, when it is controlled to the low base state after that, and after that. It becomes the effect mode when it is controlled to the second high base state. When a big hit is made based on the symbol Za in the high base state, it is controlled to the first high base state, the low base state, and the second high base state after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to control the effect mode MD in the same way as when. Therefore, the effect of the production can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

For example, the variation pattern HP 54 may be determined as the variation pattern of the first special game in the variation pattern determination table T14, or may be determined as the variation pattern of each special game in the variation pattern determination table T14.

-In the above embodiment, the fluctuation pattern determination tables T11 and T12 are tables in which the deviation reach variation pattern is determined with a higher determination probability than the variation pattern determination table T01, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the fluctuation pattern determination tables T11 and T12 may be tables in which the deviation reach variation pattern is determined with a determination probability higher than that of the variation pattern determination table T01, and the deviation reach variation pattern is determined with the same determination probability. May be.

In the above embodiment, for example, in the first high base state, the variation pattern may be determined by referring to the variation pattern determination table separately from the variation pattern determination tables T11 to T14, for example, the variation pattern determination. It is not necessary to have any of the tables T11 to T13.

-In the above embodiment, for example, in the first special game controlled to the first high base state, the variation pattern determination table which is not referred to in at least any special game other than the first special game in the first high base state is referred to. May be done.

-In the above embodiment, for example, in the second high base state, the fluctuation pattern may be determined by referring to any one of a plurality of types of fluctuation pattern determination tables. That is, the fluctuation pattern determination table in the second high base state does not have the variation pattern determination tables T01, T11, and T12, but at least the variation pattern determination table T14 may be present, and other variation pattern determination tables may be present.

-In the above embodiment, for example, one may be determined from a plurality of types of out-of-range fluctuation patterns in the second high base state, for example, the number of special holdings and the type of special game (first special game or second special game). ) May differ in the determination conditions.

-In the above embodiment, for example, in the first special game controlled to the second high base state, the variation pattern determination table which is not referred to in at least any special game other than the first special game in the second high base state is referred to.

For example, after being controlled to the effect modes MB to MD with the end of the big hit game and the change of the game state, it is not continuously controlled over a plurality of consecutive special games, but is controlled by one special game. After that, it may be controlled to a different effect mode. In particular, after being controlled to the effect modes MB to MD with the end of the big hit game and the change of the game state, the player may be controlled to another effect mode even if the game state does not change.

-In the above embodiment, the same time is determined in the first high base state and the second high base state as the fluctuation time of the normal game, but the time is not limited to this. For example, one of the first high-based state and the second high-based state may be determined from a plurality of times with the same probability. That is, the fluctuation time of the normal game may be determined in the same manner in the first high base state and the second high base state. Further, for example, different times may be determined between the first high base state and the second high base state. Further, for example, a shorter time may be more easily determined in the second high base state than in the first high base state, or a shorter time may be more easily determined in the first high base state than in the second high base state. ..

-In the above embodiment, for example, with respect to the winning probability of the ordinary winning lottery, in the first high base state, the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery may be higher than in the low base state. Further, for example, in the second high base state, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery may be higher than in the low base state. Further, for example, in the first high base state, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery may be higher than in the second high base state, and in the second high base state, the normal winning may be higher than in the first high base state. You may increase the probability that the lottery will be won.

The same control may be performed for the normal game and the normal hit game, such as the maximum number of times of opening and the upper limit control time of one normal hit game). In this case, whether the controlled trigger is the first condition or the second condition differs between the first high base state and the second high base state.

-In the above embodiment, for example, the opening mode of the ordinary variable member 30 in the first high base state may be any of two types and four or more types, or may be one type.
-In the above embodiment, for example, the opening mode of the ordinary variable member 30 in the second high base state may be any of two or more types.

-In the above embodiment, for example, the opening mode of the ordinary variable member 30 in the low base state may be any of two or more types.
-In the above embodiment, for example, a high-base transition lottery may be performed when a special game is executed. This high-base transition lottery may be executed at the timing when the execution of the special game is started, or may be executed at the timing when the execution of the special game is finished. When the main control CPU 40a wins the high base transition lottery, the main control CPU 40a controls the high base state. Such a high base state may be set as a third high base state. That is, in the high base state, there may be a third high base state in which the condition is satisfied and controlled when a predetermined lottery is won, and even if there is a third high base state in addition to the second high base state. , There may be a third high base state instead of the second high base state.

-In the above embodiment, for example, the first upper limit number does not differ depending on at least one of the type of big hit, the game state when the big hit lottery is won, and the high probability state after the big hit game is completed. May be.

-In the above embodiment, the first upper limit number is the same number (100 times) as compared with the specified number of times continuously controlled in the high probability state, but the number is not limited to this, for example, the specified number of times. The number of times may be larger than the specified number of times (for example, 120 times), or the number of times may be smaller than the specified number of times (for example, 80 times). In this way, a part or all of the first upper limit number determined as 100 times may be changed to at least one of a large number of times as compared with the specified number of times and a small number of times as compared with the specified number of times. As a specific example, the first upper limit number of times may be 120 times when a big hit is made based on the symbol Zb.

-In the above embodiment, the second upper limit number may be a large number, a small number, or the same number as compared with a predetermined number of times continuously controlled in a high probability state. .. Further, for example, the second upper limit number may be a number larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state, a smaller number, or the same number.

-In the above embodiment, as a special number of times, it may be a large number of times, a small number of times, or the same number of times as compared with a predetermined number of times continuously controlled in a high probability state. Further, for example, as a special number of times, the number of times may be larger than the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the low probability state, the number of times may be smaller, or the number of times may be the same.

-In the above embodiment, when a specific jackpot is achieved in the high base state, the first upper limit number of times is different depending on whether the jackpot game is controlled to the high probability state or the low probability state. , Not limited to this, for example, the first upper limit number of times may be the same. As a specific example, in the first embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Za in the high base state, when it is controlled to the high probability state and when it is controlled to the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. In both cases, the first upper limit number of times may be 697 times, and the first upper limit number of times may be 597 times. In the second embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol Zc in the high base state, the first upper limit is controlled both in the high probability state and in the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. The number of times may be 697 times, and the first upper limit number of times may be 597 times. In the third embodiment, when the jackpot is based on the symbol ZA in the high base state, the first upper limit is controlled both in the high probability state and in the low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. The number of times may be 597 times, and the first upper limit number of times may be 697 times. In such a case, after the jackpot game ends, the variation pattern determination table T14 may be referred to and controlled by the effect mode MD until the special game of the first upper limit number of times is executed.

-In the above embodiment, when a specific jackpot is achieved in the high base state, the number of executions of the special game from the end of the jackpot game to the control to the second high base state after the end of the jackpot game is determined. It is smaller than, but not limited to, the first upper limit of hold, the second upper limit of hold, and the total upper limit of hold, and less than 100 times. For example, the number of executions of such a special game may be larger or the same as the first holding upper limit number and the second holding upper limit number, or may be larger or the same as the total holding upper limit number, and may be 100. It may be greater than or equal to the number of times.

-In the above embodiment, for example, after the end of the big hit game, the number of executions of the special game from being controlled to the low base state to being controlled to the second high base state is when a specific big hit is obtained in the high base state. It may be smaller when a specific jackpot is obtained in a low base state than when it is a specific jackpot. For example, after the end of the jackpot game, the number of executions of the special game from being controlled to the low base state to being controlled to the second high base state is lower when the first specific jackpot is reached in the high base state. In the base state, it may be smaller than when the second specific jackpot is different from the first specific jackpot. For example, after the end of the jackpot game, the number of executions of the special game from being controlled to the low base state to being controlled to the second high base state is lower than when the first specific jackpot is reached in the high base state. It may be smaller when the second specific jackpot is reached in the base state.

-In the above embodiment, for example, a high probability state may be given until the next big hit game is given. Further, for example, a fall lottery may be performed, and when the main control CPU 40a controls to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, when a predetermined control condition is satisfied with the winning of the fall lottery as a trigger. It may be controlled to a low probability state. In this case, it is not possible to specify whether the state is controlled from the high probability state to the low probability state before the predetermined number of special games are executed, and after the predetermined number of special games are executed. However, it may be controlled to a high probability state.

In the above embodiment, for example, when the number of game balls entered in the big winning opening 31 differs depending on the type of big hit, the distribution member 38 is first placed based on the long distribution control. It may be operated so that the distribution state is taken.

-In the above embodiment, for example, for at least one of the short distribution control and the long distribution control, the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening 31 is not the specified number, but a predetermined time. It may be done in the wake of the fact that.

-In the above embodiment, for example, it may be any of the second and subsequent round games, one round game, multiple round games, and continuous round games. However, it may be a non-continuous round game.

-In the above embodiment, for example, the jackpot of the first special game may have a jackpot in which the game ball easily passes through the special passage area 36, and such a jackpot may correspond to a specific jackpot. Further, for example, unlike the first embodiment and the third embodiment, the jackpot of the second special game may not have a jackpot that makes it difficult for the game ball to pass through the special passage area 36, and as in the second embodiment, In the big hit of the second special game, there may be a big hit in which the game ball is difficult to pass through the special passing area 36.

-In the above embodiment, when the game ball passes through the special passing area 36 during the big hit game, it is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game, but the probability is not limited to this, and for example, based on the type of the big hit. , It may be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game. In this case, the special passage region 36 and the distribution member 38 may not be provided. Further, in the above embodiment, the special passing area 36 is played in the big hit in which the game ball easily passes through the special passing area 36, and in the big hit controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game (so-called “probability variation big hit”). A jackpot that is difficult for a ball to pass through can be replaced with a jackpot that is controlled to a low probability state after the jackpot game ends (so-called "non-probability variable jackpot"). That is, there may be a jackpot controlled to a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game and a jackpot controlled to a low probability state (not controlled to the high probability state) after the end of the jackpot game.

-In the above embodiment, for example, a small hit lottery may be performed separately from the big hit lottery.
-In the above embodiment, for example, there may be a type of jackpot that becomes a low base state after the end of the jackpot game.

-In the above embodiment, the second special game is preferentially executed over the first special game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a game ball enters the first starting port 28 and the second starting port 29. The special games may be executed in order, and for example, the first special game and the second special game may be executed at the same time.

In the above embodiment, the main control board 40 and the sub control board 41 are arranged and various functions are mounted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a function on one board is mounted as a function on the other board. You may. Further, means for controlling the effect display device 27 may be separately provided. Further, the present invention is not limited to such two types of substrates, and may be configured as an integrated substrate or may be configured as three or more types of substrates, for example. As a specific example, the function of the sub-control board 41 may be divided into a control board that controls the effect and a display control board that controls the display of the image.

-In the above embodiment, the type of big hit (big hit game) is specified by the symbol command, but the type of big hit may be specified by the game start command or other dedicated control command.

-In the above embodiment, various random number information related to the special game may be stored in a storage area provided according to the number of special reservations. In this case, the random number information may be shifted and stored in the storage area from which the special hold number is subtracted by "1" each time the special game is executed.

-In the above embodiment, for example, a gaming machine in which a special variable member 32 operates in an open state by a predetermined lottery, and a gaming ball that has entered the large winning opening 31 passes through a specific passing area, thereby giving a jackpot game. (So-called "two types of gaming machines") may be used. Further, for example, it may be a gaming machine in which the special variable member 32 operates in an open state by winning a big hit lottery in a special game (so-called "a gaming machine in which one kind and two kinds are mixed"). Further, it may be a gaming machine (so-called three types of gaming machines) in which a big hit game is started when a gaming ball enters a predetermined entrance. Further, for example, a high probability state may not be given.

The third specific condition is a condition that is satisfied when a special number of symbol fluctuation games are executed without winning the jackpot lottery after being controlled to the low probability state.
When the ball is controlled to the non-ball entry rate improvement state after being controlled to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the first specific condition, and when the non-ball entry rate improvement state is controlled, and the ball entry rate improvement is performed based on the satisfaction of the second specific condition. The symbol variation game executed from the time when the non-ball entry rate is controlled to the state where the non-ball entry rate is improved and the time when the third specific condition is satisfied after being controlled to the state. The number of executions is different,
The predetermined determination conditions include a first specific determination condition and a second specific determination condition.
The first specific determination condition is a determination condition in the ball entry rate improvement state controlled based on the establishment of the first specific condition.
The second specific determination condition is a determination condition in the ball entry rate improvement state controlled based on the establishment of the second specific condition.
A gaming machine that does not have the second specific determination condition but has the first specific determination condition in the determination condition in the ball entry rate improvement state controlled based on the establishment of the third specific condition. The second symbol variation game is a symbol variation game that is more advantageous to the player than the first symbol variation game.
The ball entry rate is based on the establishment of the first specific condition, rather than being controlled to the non-ball entry rate improvement state after being controlled to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the second specific condition. When the non-ball-entry rate is controlled to the improved state after being controlled to the improved state, the symbol variation game executed from the time when the non-ball-entry rate is controlled to the third specific condition is satisfied. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the number of times of execution is small. The variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining means includes a first deviation variation pattern and a second deviation variation pattern without a reach effect when the jackpot lottery is not won.
The second deviation variation pattern is a variation pattern in which the variation time is shorter than that of the first deviation variation pattern.
Claim 1 or claim that the first specific determination condition is a determination condition in which the second deviation variation pattern is determined with a higher probability than the second specific determination condition when the jackpot lottery is not won. The gaming machine according to 2. The fluctuation pattern determined by the fluctuation pattern determining means includes a first jackpot fluctuation pattern and a second jackpot fluctuation pattern when the jackpot lottery is won.
The second jackpot fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is shorter than that of the first jackpot fluctuation pattern.
The first specific determination condition is a determination condition in which the second big hit fluctuation pattern is determined with a higher probability than the second specific determination condition when the jackpot lottery is won. The gaming machine described in any one of them. The predetermined determination condition usually includes a determination condition.
The usual determination condition is
After being controlled to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the first specific condition, the non-ball entry rate improvement state is controlled, and then the ball entry rate improvement state is controlled based on the establishment of the third specific condition. When controlled to, it is a determination condition in at least one of the time from being controlled to the non-ball entry rate improved state to being controlled to the ball entry rate improved state based on the establishment of the third specific condition.
After being controlled to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the second specific condition, the non-ball entry rate improvement state is controlled, and then the ball entry rate improvement state is controlled based on the establishment of the third specific condition. When controlled to, the claim is a determination condition in at least one of the time when the non-ball entry rate is controlled to the improved state and the time when the third specific condition is satisfied and the ball entry rate is controlled to the improved state. The gaming machine according to any one of items 1 to 4. The predetermined determination condition usually includes a determination condition.
The normal determination condition is controlled to the non-ball entry rate improved state after being controlled to the ball entry rate improved state based on the establishment of the second specific condition, and then based on the establishment of the third specific condition. When controlled to the ball entry rate improved state, at least one from the control to the non-ball entry rate improved state to the control to the ball entry rate improved state based on the establishment of the third specific condition. It is a decision condition in
The first specific determination condition is controlled to the non-ball entry rate improvement state after being controlled to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the first specific condition, and then to the satisfaction of the third specific condition. When the ball entry rate is controlled to the improved state based on the above, at least from the control to the non-ball entry rate improvement state to the control to the ball entry rate improvement state based on the establishment of the third specific condition. The gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, which is a determination condition in any of the above.
