A second starting port 16, a big prize winning port 18, and a gate 25 are provided in the downflow path of the game ball in the right region R2. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, by shooting a game ball so as to flow down the right region R2 of the game region YBa, the ball can enter the second start port 16, the big winning port 18, and the gate 25. is possible. In the following description, shooting a game ball with a shooting intensity that causes the game ball to flow down the right region R2 may be referred to as "right hitting".

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 is equipped with a probability changing function for changing the probability of a big win with high probability and a ball entry assisting function for assisting the entry of a game ball into a second start port 16.例文帳に追加The game state in the pachinko game machine 10 is configured by combining the operating states (operating and non-operating) of these functions.

The probability variation function (hereinafter referred to as probability variation function) will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of probability states as states with different jackpot probabilities. The plurality of probability states include a low-probability state and a high-probability state with a higher jackpot probability than the low-probability state. When the variable probability function is activated, the probability state shifts from the low probability state to the high probability state, increasing the possibility of winning the jackpot. Therefore, the high-probability state is more advantageous than the low-probability state. In this embodiment, the jackpot probability in the low probability state is 1/200. In this embodiment, the jackpot probability in the high probability state is 1/110.

The ball entry assistance function will be explained.
The ball entry assisting function is a function for assisting the ball entering the second starting port 16, and is a so-called "electric support function". The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of ball-entering states as states in which the ball-entering rate of the game ball to the second starting port 16 is different. The plurality of ball-entering states include a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state in which the ball-entering rate per unit time to the second starting port 16 is higher than that of the non-time-saving state. Therefore, the time-saving state has a high degree of advantage regarding the entry of the game ball to the second starting port 16 as compared with the non-time-saving state. The time-saving state is a so-called "electric sapo state" or "high base state". The non-time saving state is a so-called "non-electric support state" and "low base state". In the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the first starting port 15 is the same. In the time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time into the second start hole 16 is improved, and the game ball enters the second start hole 16 more easily than the first start hole 15.例文帳に追加Therefore, in the time-saving state, it is recommended to hit the right hand so that the game ball can easily enter the second starting hole 16. - 特許庁On the other hand, in the non-time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second start port 16 is lower than that in the time-saving state, and the game ball enters the second start port 16 rather than the first start port 15. Because it is difficult to hit the ball, it is recommended to hit left-handed. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the ball-entering assist function is activated, the ball-entering state shifts from the non-time-saving state to the time-saving state. In the time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time into the second start port 16 is improved as compared with the non-time-saving state, and the starting condition of the second special game is easily established. Thus, the time-saving state has a high advantage regarding the entrance of the game ball to the second starting port 16 as compared with the non-time-saving state. For this reason, the time-saving state is an advantageous state compared to the non-time-saving state.

For example, the time-saving state can be realized by executing one control that can be arbitrarily selected from among the four controls described below, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. 1st control is control which shortens the fluctuation|variation time of a normal game rather than the time of a non-time saving state. 2nd control is control which usually fluctuates the hit probability in normal lottery to high probability rather than the time of a non-time saving state. 3rd control is control which lengthens the total opening time of the normal variable member 17 in 1 normal per game rather than the time of a non-time saving state. In addition, as the third control, the number of openings of the normal variable member 17 in one normal game is more than when it is in a non-time saving state, and one opening of the normal variable member 17 in the normal game It is good to perform at least one control among the control which makes time longer than the time of non-work-time-saving state. 4th control is control which makes the fluctuation|variation time (average fluctuation|variation time) of a special game shorter than the time of a non-time saving state. In the time-saving state, the number of special games that can be substantially executed per unit time increases more than when it is in the non-time-saving state. That is, the efficiency of digesting the suspension of the special game is improved.

In the present embodiment, the time saving state includes a first time saving state and a second time saving state. When it is the 1st time saving state and the 2nd time saving state, the fluctuation time of a normal game becomes short compared with when it is a non-time saving state by performing 1st control. When it is the first time saving state, the normal winning probability in the normal lottery is changed to a high probability by executing the second control. On the other hand, when it is the second time saving state, the normal winning probability in the normal lottery is not changed to a high probability. When it is the first time saving state and the second time saving state, the total opening time of the normal variable member 17 in one normal winning game is longer than when it is in the non-time saving state by executing the third control. Become. When it is a 1st time saving state and a 2nd time saving state, the variation time (average variation time) of a special game becomes short compared with when it is a non-time saving state by performing 4th control.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the gaming state includes a low-probability short working hours state, a high-probability short working hours state, a first low-probable short working hours state, and a second low-probable short working hours state. The low probability non-time saving state is a game state in which neither the probability variation function nor the entering ball assist function operates. The high probability time saving state is a game state in which both the probability varying function and the entering ball assisting function operate. The first low probability time saving state is a gaming state in which the variable probability function does not operate and the ball entry assist function operates. The second low-probability short-time state is a game state in which the probability-variable function does not operate and the ball-entering assist function operates.

The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to a low-probability state when it is in a low-probability short-time state, a first low-probability short-time state, and a second low-probability short-time state, and is controlled to a high-probability state when it is in a high-probability short-time state. . Therefore, the high-probability short-time working state has a higher possibility of winning a big hit than the low-probability non-short-time working state, the first low-probable short-time working state, and the second low-probable short-time working state, and becomes an advantageous gaming state.

The Pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to a non-reduction of working hours state when it is in a low probability non-reduction of working hours state, and is controlled to a reduction of working hours state when it is in a high probability of reduction of working hours state, a first low probability of reduction of working hours state and a second low probability of reduction of working hours state. As described above, in both the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state, the advantage of the game ball entering the first starting port 15 in the left region R1 of the game board YB is the same. On the other hand, the time-saving state has a high degree of advantage regarding the entry of the game ball to the second starting port 16 in the right region R2 as compared to the non-time-saving state, and it is recommended that the game ball flow down to the right region R2. state. That is, the high-probability short working hours state, the first low-probable short-working hours state, and the second low-probable short working hours state are advantageous for entering the game ball to the second start port 16 in the right region R2 compared to the low-probable non-shortening working hours state. This is a game state in which the degree is high and it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the right region R2. The low-probability non-time-saving state has a high-probability time-saving state, the first low-probability time-saving state, and the second low-probability time-saving state. It is a game state in which it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the left region R1. In this way, the high-probability short working hours state is an advantageous gaming state in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second starting port 16 is high compared to the low-probable short working hours state. In addition, the first low-probability short working hours state is an advantageous gaming state in which the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second starting port 16 is high compared to the low-probability non-shortening working hours state. In addition, the second low-probability time-saving state is an advantageous gaming state in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second starting port 16 is higher than the low-probability non-time-saving state.

The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the first time-saving state when it is in the high-probability short-time state and the first low-probability short-time state, and is controlled to the second short-time state when it is in the second low-probability short-time state. As described above, when it is in the first time saving state, the normal hit probability in the normal lottery is higher than when it is in the second time saving state. Therefore, the high-probability time-saving state has a higher entry rate of game balls per unit time into the second starting port 16 than the second low-probability time-saving state, and becomes an advantageous gaming state. In addition, the first low-probability time-saving state has a high ball-entering rate of game balls per unit time to the second start port 16 as compared with the second low-probability time-saving state, and becomes an advantageous gaming state.

Next, the jackpot will be explained.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of types of jackpot patterns as special jackpot patterns. Specifically, the pachinko game machine 10 has a jackpot pattern ZA, a jackpot pattern ZB, a jackpot pattern ZC, a jackpot pattern Za, a jackpot pattern Zb, and a jackpot pattern Zc as special jackpot patterns. In the pachinko game machine 10, a big win pattern is determined by a big win pattern lottery performed using a big win pattern random number when the big win lottery is won. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery (hereinafter referred to as a first big win lottery) executed when a game ball enters a first start hole 15, a big win pattern random number is used. Any one of the big-hit symbols ZA to ZC is determined by the big-hit symbol lottery. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery (hereinafter referred to as a second big win lottery) executed when a game ball enters a second start hole 16, a big win pattern random number is used. Any one of the big-hit symbols Za to Zc is determined by the big-hit symbol lottery. The big-hit symbol ZA and the big-hit symbol Za correspond to the first big-hit result. The big-hit symbol ZB and the big-hit symbol Zb correspond to the second big-hit result.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first jackpot is determined for the jackpot pattern ZA and the jackpot pattern Za. A second jackpot is determined for the jackpot pattern ZB and the jackpot pattern Zb. A third jackpot is determined for the jackpot pattern ZC and the jackpot pattern Zc. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on either the jackpot pattern ZA or the jackpot pattern Za is the "first jackpot game", the jackpot game based on either the jackpot pattern ZB or the jackpot pattern Zb is the "second jackpot game", the jackpot patterns ZC and A big-hit game based on any of the big-hit symbols Zc is referred to as a "third big-hit game". In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and the big win pattern is either the big win pattern ZA or the big win pattern Za, the first big win game is started after the first big win. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and the big win pattern is either the big win pattern ZB or the big win pattern Zb, the second big win game is started after the second big win. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and the big win pattern is either the big win pattern ZC or the big win pattern Zc, the third big win game is started after the third big win.

In this embodiment, the winning probability of the big-hit symbols ZA to ZC and Za-Zc by the big-hit symbol lottery differs depending on the game state. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probabilities of the jackpot patterns ZA to ZC and Za to Zc determined in the jackpot drawing are different according to the game state when the jackpot drawing is won. Winning probabilities of the jackpot patterns ZA to ZC and Za to Zc by the jackpot pattern lottery are set to predetermined probabilities according to the game state. The winning probability of the jackpot patterns ZA to ZC and Za to Zc by the jackpot pattern lottery is defined by the number of values obtained by allocating the possible values of the jackpot patterns to the respective special patterns.

FIG. 4 exemplifies allocation of possible values of the jackpot symbols ZA to ZC for each game state when the jackpot is won in the first jackpot lottery. Specifically, the possible numerical values of the jackpot pattern random numbers are 0 to 99 (100 in total), and when it is in a low-probability non-time-saving state, 70 jackpot patterns ZA of the first special pattern and 20 jackpot patterns ZB. , and 10 numbers are assigned to the jackpot symbols ZC. The possible numerical value of the jackpot pattern random number is 0 to 99 (100 in total), and when it is in the high probability time saving state or the first low probability time saving state, 30 in the first special pattern jackpot pattern ZA, and in the jackpot pattern ZB 40 numbers and 30 numbers are assigned to the jackpot pattern ZC. The possible values of the jackpot pattern random numbers are 0 to 99 (total 100 pieces), and when the second low-probability time-saving state is established, 20 jackpot patterns ZA of the first special pattern, 40 jackpot patterns ZB, and jackpot patterns. 40 numerical values are assigned to ZC.

As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, the winning probability of the jackpot patterns ZA to ZC by the jackpot pattern lottery differs according to the game state when the jackpot is won in the first jackpot lottery. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of the first big win, the probability of the second big win and the probability of the third big win differ according to the game state when the big win is won in the first big win lottery. For example, if the player wins a big win in the first big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 10%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the high-probability short-time state or the first low-probability short-time state, the probability of winning the third big win is 30%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the second low probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 40%. Therefore, when it is in the second low-probability short-time state, compared to when it is in the low-probability non-short-time state, high-probability short-time state, or first low-probability short-time state, when the jackpot is won in the first jackpot lottery, the second There is a high probability that you will win 3. In addition, in the high-probability short working-time state or the first low-probability short-time working state, the probability of winning the third big win in the first big-win lottery is higher than in the low-probability non-short-working-time state.

In addition, FIG. 4 exemplifies the allocation of possible values of the jackpot symbols for Za to Zc for each game state when the jackpot is won in the second jackpot lottery. Specifically, the possible numerical values of the jackpot pattern random numbers are 0 to 99 (100 in total), and when it is in the low probability non-time saving state, 60 jackpot patterns Za of the second special pattern and 30 jackpot patterns Zb. , and 10 numbers are assigned to the jackpot symbols Zc. The possible numerical value of the jackpot pattern random number is 0 to 99 (100 pieces in total), and when it is in the high probability time saving state or the first low probability time saving state, 20 in the second special pattern jackpot pattern Za, and in the jackpot pattern Zb. 40 numbers are assigned to the jackpot pattern Zc. The possible values of the jackpot pattern random numbers are 0 to 99 (100 in total), and when the second low-probability time-saving state is established, the jackpot pattern Za of the second special pattern is 10, the jackpot pattern Zb is 40, and the jackpot pattern. 50 numerical values are assigned to Zc.

As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, the winning probability of the big winning symbols Za to Zc by the big winning symbol lottery differs according to the game state when the big winning is won in the second big winning lottery. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of the first big win, the probability of the second big win, and the probability of the third big win differ according to the game state when the big win is won in the second big win lottery. For example, when the player wins a big win in the second big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 10%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the high-probability short-time state or the first low-probability short-time state, the probability of winning the third big win is 40%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the second low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 50%. Therefore, when it is in the second low-probability short-time state, compared to when it is in the low-probability non-short-time state, high-probability short-time state, or first low-probability short-time state, when the big hit is won in the second jackpot lottery, the second There is a high probability that you will win 3. In addition, when the player is in the high-probability shortening working hours state or the first low-probability shortening working hours state, the probability of winning the third big hit in the second big-hit lottery is higher than in the low-probability non-shortening working hours state.

The jackpot game will be explained.
In the big-hit game, first, an opening performance capable of specifying the start of the big-hit game is performed over a predetermined opening time. In the jackpot game, after the opening time has elapsed, a round game for opening the big winning opening 18 is performed up to a predetermined upper limit number of times. One round game is terminated when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or when a predetermined upper limit time elapses. In the round game, the big winning opening 18 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. The jackpot game is an advantageous state in which a game ball can be acquired by entering the game ball into the big prize winning opening 18.例文帳に追加

The pachinko gaming machine 10 can enter the big winning hole 18 by shooting a game ball so as to flow down the right area R2 of the game area YBa. Therefore, in the big hit game, it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the right region R2 so that the game ball can easily enter the big winning hole 18.例文帳に追加In other words, in the jackpot game, it is recommended to hit rightward so that the game ball can easily enter the jackpot 18.例文帳に追加

In the first jackpot game, a round game is performed with three times as the upper limit. In the second jackpot game, a round game is performed with 10 times as the upper limit. In the third jackpot game, a round game is performed with 10 times as the upper limit. The number of winning balls obtained during the jackpot game coincides with the number of round games in which the winning balls can be obtained. The number of winning balls may be expressed as the total number of game balls (prize balls) paid out by entering the big winning hole 18, or the number obtained by subtracting the number of shots from the total number of game balls paid out. can be expressed as According to the above configuration, the number of winning balls in the third jackpot game is theoretically larger than the number of winning balls in the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game. In each round game, a round production is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game is completed, an ending effect is performed over a predetermined ending time to specify the end of the jackpot game. The jackpot game is terminated when the ending time elapses.

A game state after the end of the jackpot game will be described. In the pachinko game machine 10, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game differs depending on the kind of the big win game. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, the minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low-probability short-time state controlled after the end of the jackpot game differs depending on the game state when the jackpot lottery is won. There is A specific description will be given below.

The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state after the end of the first jackpot game. After the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state after the end of the first jackpot game, it continues until the special game with the minimum guaranteed number of times is finished or until the next jackpot game is generated. , is controlled to the first low-probability short-time state. Specifically, in the pachinko game machine 10, it becomes the first big hit when it is in the low-probability short-time state, and after being controlled to the first low-probability short-time state after the end of the first jackpot game, 100 times (minimum guaranteed number of times). Until the end of the special game, or until the next big winning game is generated, the first low-probability time-saving state is maintained. In the pachinko game machine 10, the first jackpot is achieved when the state is any one of a high-probability short-time state, a first low-probability short-time state, and a second low-probability short-time state, and the first low-probability short-time state after the end of the first jackpot game. After being controlled to 200 times (minimum guaranteed number of times) of the special game, or until the next big win game is generated, the first low-probability time-saving state is maintained. In this embodiment, the minimum guaranteed number of times after the end of the first jackpot game corresponds to the first number of times. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the special game of the minimum guaranteed number of times ends without the occurrence of the big win game after the end of the first big win game, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low-probability short working hours state. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win game is generated before the special game of the minimum guaranteed number of times is finished after the first big win game is finished, the game machine 10 is controlled to a low-probability short-time state.

The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state after the second jackpot game ends. After the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the first low-probability short-time state after the end of the second jackpot game, it continues until the special game with the minimum guaranteed number of times is finished or until the next jackpot game is generated. , is controlled to the first low-probability short-time state. Specifically, in the pachinko game machine 10, regardless of the game state when the big win is won in the big win lottery, after the second big win game is controlled to the first low probability time saving state, 490 times (minimum guaranteed number of times ) is finished, or until the next big win game is generated, the first low-probability time-saving state is maintained. In this embodiment, the minimum guaranteed number of times after the end of the second jackpot game corresponds to the second number of times. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the special game of the minimum guaranteed number of times ends without the occurrence of the big win game after the end of the second big win game, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low-probability short working hours state. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win game is generated before the special game of the minimum guaranteed number of times is finished after the second big win game is finished, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to a low-probability short-time state. As described above, the low-probability short working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game in the first low-probability short working hours state has reached the minimum guaranteed number of times.

In the pachinko game machine 10, it is controlled to a highly reliable time-saving state after the third jackpot game is finished. After the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the high-probability time-saving state after the third big win game is finished, it is controlled to the high-probability short-time state until the next big win game is generated. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the next big winning game is generated after the third big winning game is finished, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low-probability short working hours state.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, there is a case where the game state shifts even if a big win is not won in a big win lottery.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the second low-probability short-time state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of executions of the special game executed when the probability state is low probability state without awarding the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot game is 500 times corresponding to the specified number of times. It is controlled to the second low-probability short-time state triggered by having reached. In other words, in the pachinko game machine 10, after the first jackpot game is finished, the number of executions of the special game reaches 500 times without giving the jackpot game. . Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the second jackpot game is completed, the execution count of the special game reaches 500 times without giving the jackpot game. be. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the probability state is high probability state until the next big win game occurs after the third big win game is over, the special game executed after the third big win game is over. Even if the number of times of execution reaches 500 times, it is not controlled to the 2nd low probability short working hours state. In this embodiment, the predetermined period is a period from when the probability state is the low probability state and the jackpot game is awarded after the jackpot game is finished. Hereinafter, the second low-probability time-saving state, which is controlled when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, is referred to as the "B-time-saving state." In this way, the bee time saving state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. In the present embodiment, the short bee time state corresponds to a specific state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the bee time saving state, the bee time saving state is controlled until 760 special games corresponding to a predetermined number of times are completed or until the next big win game is generated. be done. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the special game is completed 760 times (predetermined number of times) without occurrence of a big winning game after being controlled to the bee time saving state, it is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state. In this way, the low-probability short working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game in the short working hours state reaches a predetermined number. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the bee time saving state, if a big win game is generated before 760 times (predetermined number) of special games are finished, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low probability non-time saving state.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 may be controlled to the second low-probability time-saving state based on the fact that the chance symbol is derived in the special game. Specifically, after the chance pattern is derived in the special game when the ball-entering state is the non-time-saving state, the second low-probability time-saving state is controlled based on the derivation of the chance pattern. On the other hand, after the chance symbol is derived in the special game when the ball-entering state is the time-saving state, the second low-probability time-saving state is not controlled based on the derivation of the chance symbol. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is not controlled to the second low-probability time-saving state based on the derivation of the missing symbol in the special game when the ball entering state is the non-time-saving state. Hereinafter, the 2nd low probability time saving state controlled based on having derived the chance pattern in a special game is shown as "see time saving state." Thus, the sea time saving state may be controlled after the chance pattern is derived in the special game. In this embodiment, the sea time saving state corresponds to a special state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the sea time saving state, it is controlled to the sea time saving state until 90 special games corresponding to a specific number of times are finished or until the next big win game is generated. be done. In the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the sea time saving state, when the special game is finished 90 times (a specific number of times) without causing a big winning game, it is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state. In this way, the low-probability short working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game in the short working hours state reaches the specific number of times. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the short working hours state, if a big win game is generated before the special game of 90 times (a specific number of times) is finished, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the low probability non-short working hours state.

As described above, the gaming state of the present embodiment includes a low-probability non-time-saving state, a high-probability time-saving state, a first low-probability time-saving state, a bee-time-saving state, and a sea-time-saving state. Then, as described above, the high-probability short working hours state, the first low-probable short working hours state, the short working hours state, and the short short working hours state are the games per unit time to the second start port 16 compared to the low-probable short working hours state. The ball entry rate is high and it is an advantageous game state. That is, in the gaming state of the present embodiment, there are a low probability non-time saving state, a high probability non-time saving state that is advantageous compared to the low probability non-time saving state, and a first low probability that is advantageous compared to the low probability non-time saving state. A time-saving state, a be-time-saving state that is advantageous compared to the low-probability non-time-saving state, and a sea-time-saving state that is advantageous compared to the low-probability non-time-saving state are included. In the present embodiment, the low-probability short working hours state corresponds to a non-specific state and corresponds to a non-special state. Moreover, in this embodiment, a 1st low-probability short-time state corresponds to a special state. In addition, the high-probability short working-time state is an advantageous game state in which the possibility of winning a big win is higher than the low-probability unprobable short-time state, the first low-probable short-time state, the B short-time state, and the short-time state. On the other hand, the possibility of winning the jackpot is the same in the low-probability unprobable time-saving state, the first low-probability time-saving state, the bee time-saving state, and the sea time-saving state. That is, the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under the control in the first low probability short working hours state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in the big winning lottery under the control in the low probability unreduced working hours state. Also, the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the short working time state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in the big winning lottery under control in the low probability non-working time short state. In addition, the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the sea time saving state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the low probability non-working time saving state.

Display effects that can be executed by the effect display device EH will be described.
An effect game is displayed as an example of a display effect on the effect display device EH. In the effect game, a plurality of rows of effect symbols are variably displayed, and finally a combination of effect symbols (hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is derived. The production design is also called "decoration design" or "decoration design". As an example, the effect game of the present embodiment is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the effect symbols of the left symbol row, the middle symbol row, and the right symbol row in a predetermined direction.

The effect game starts with the special game and ends with the special game. In the effect game, a symbol combination corresponding to the special symbols derived in the special game is derived. In the special game, when the big-hit symbols are derived, in the effect game, the big-hit symbol combination is derived. The jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the performance symbols of all rows are the same performance symbols, such as "777". When winning symbols are derived in the special game, non-jackpot symbol combinations are derived in the effect game. Similarly, when a chance symbol is derived in the special game, a non-jackpot symbol combination is derived in the effect game. The non-jackpot symbol combination is, for example, a symbol combination such as "738" or "787", in which at least some rows of performance symbols are different from other rows of performance symbols. It should be noted that the non-jackpot symbol combination derived in the production game when the winning symbols are derived in the special game and the non-jackpot symbol combination derived in the production game when the chance symbols are derived in the special game are the same. Some or all of them may be the same, or all may be different.

In the present embodiment, in the effect game, when the ready-to-win state is formed, the ready-to-win effect is executed. The ready-to-win state is a state in which the same performance symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in a plurality of specific symbol rows, and the performance symbols are continuously displayed in a variable manner in other symbol rows. As an example, in this embodiment, the left symbol row and the right symbol row correspond to specific symbol rows, and the middle symbol row corresponds to another symbol row. The ready-to-win performance includes a normal ready-to-win performance and a super ready-to-win performance in which the expectation of a big hit is higher than that of the normal ready-to-win performance. The degree of expectation of a big win can be calculated by the ratio of the appearance rate of the big win to the total appearance rate obtained by summing the appearance rate of the non-jackpot and the appearance rate of the big win.

Next, various processes performed by the main CPU 42 of the main control board 40 will be described.
The main CPU 42 executes a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, a jackpot game process, a normal symbol input process, a normal symbol start process, and a normal winning game process as timer interrupt processes performed at predetermined intervals (for example, 4 ms). do. In this embodiment, the control information (control command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub control board 50 by information output processing executed as timer interrupt processing.

First, special design input processing is explained.
In the special symbol input process, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting port 15 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first starting sensor SE1. When the game ball enters the first start hole 15, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the first special reserved number stored in the main RWM 44 is less than the upper limit number. When the first special reserved number is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 adds 1 to the first special reserved number and updates it. Subsequently, the main CPU 42 controls the first special pending display section 13c so as to display information capable of specifying the updated first special pending number. Thus, the starting condition of the first special game is established when the game ball is detected by the first starting sensor SE1 when the first special reserved number is less than the upper limit number.

Next, the main CPU 42 acquires a random number generated by the random number circuit 45 and causes the main RWM 44 to store random number information based on the acquired random number. For example, the random number is a special winning random number used for the big winning lottery, a big winning design random number used for determining the big winning design, a variation pattern random number used for determining the variation pattern, and a performance judgment random number used for the performance lottery. The main CPU 42 stores the random number information so that the random number information is for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. 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. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment stores the random number information used for the first special game in the main RWM 44, thereby suspending the execution of the first special game until the conditions for executing the first special game are satisfied. . Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend the execution of the first special game based on the entry of the game ball into the first start hole 15 .

When the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main RWM 44, when the game ball has not entered the first start port 15, and when the first special reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 It is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the second starting port 16 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the second starting sensor SE2. When the game ball has not entered the second starting port 16, the main CPU 42 terminates the special symbol input process. When the game ball has entered the second starting hole 16, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the second special reserved number stored in the main RWM 44 is less than the upper limit number. If the second special reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 terminates the special symbol input process. When the second special reserved number is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 adds 1 to the second special reserved number and updates it. The main CPU 42 controls the second special reservation display section 13d so as to display information capable of specifying the updated second special reservation number. Thus, the starting condition of the second special game is established when the game ball is detected by the second starting sensor SE2 when the second special reserved number is less than the upper limit number.

Next, the main CPU 42 acquires a random number generated by the random number circuit 45 and causes the main RWM 44 to store random number information based on the acquired random number. The main CPU 42 stores the random number information so that the random number information is used for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment stores the random number information used for the second special game in the main RWM 44, thereby suspending the execution of the second special game until the conditions for executing the second special game are satisfied. . In this way, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend the execution of the second special game based on the entry of a game ball into the second starting hole 16.例文帳に追加After that, the main CPU 42 terminates the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start processing will be described.
In the special symbol start process, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the special game cannot be executed. The main CPU 42 makes a negative determination when the jackpot game is not being played and the special game is not being executed. On the other hand, the main CPU 42 makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game or the special game is being executed. When the special game cannot be executed, the main CPU 42 terminates the special symbol start process. When the special game can be executed, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the second special reservation number is 1 or more. When the second special reservation number is not equal to or greater than 1, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the first special reservation number is less than one. When the first special reserved number is less than 1, the main CPU 42 terminates the special symbol start process.

When the first special reserved number is not less than 1, the main CPU 42 performs processing for executing the first special game. Specifically, the main CPU 42 updates the first special reservation number by subtracting 1 from it. The main CPU 42 controls the first special pending display section 13c so as to display information capable of specifying the updated first special pending number. Then, the main CPU 42 conducts the first jackpot lottery. Specifically, the main CPU 42 acquires from the main RWM 44 the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game. Subsequently, the main CPU 42 uses the special winning random number and the big winning judgment value specified from the acquired random number information to perform a big winning lottery to determine whether or not to win the big winning. The main CPU 42 performs a jackpot lottery with a jackpot probability corresponding to the current probability state, and determines whether or not a jackpot has been won.

When winning a jackpot, the main CPU 42 performs jackpot game processing. In the big-hit game process, the main CPU 42 performs a big-hit symbol lottery using a big-hit symbol random number and a big-hit symbol determination value that can be specified from the random number information, and determines a big-hit symbol to be derived in the first special game. The main CPU 42 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines a big hit variation pattern. After that, the main CPU 42 ends the special symbol start process. In addition, in the jackpot pattern lottery, the main CPU 42 uses a jackpot pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information and a jackpot pattern judgment value according to the game state when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery. Determine the jackpot pattern to be derived.

When the big win is not won, the main CPU 42 performs a chance lottery using the special winning random number and the specific trigger determination value specified from the acquired random number information. In this embodiment, the random number information used for the chance lottery is the same as the random number information used for the big win lottery. The specific opportunity determination value is different from the value determined as the big win determination value among the values within the range that the random number information used in the big win lottery and the chance lottery can take. In this embodiment, the probability of winning the chance lottery is 1/100 in both the low-probability state and the high-probability state. Therefore, in the low-probability state, the probability of not winning the jackpot lottery and not winning the chance lottery is about 1/1.02. Further, in the low-probability state, the probability of not winning the jackpot lottery and not winning the chance lottery is about 1/1.06.

When winning the chance lottery, the main CPU 42 performs chance game processing. In the chance game process, the main CPU 42 determines chance symbols to be derived in the first special game. In this embodiment, the number of chance symbols is one. The main CPU 42 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines a chance variation pattern. After that, the main CPU 42 ends the special symbol start process.

When the chance lottery is not won, the main CPU 42 performs a losing game process. In the losing game process, the main CPU 42 determines the winning symbols to be derived in the first special game. In the losing game process, the main CPU 42 performs an effect lottery using an effect determination random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines whether or not to execute the ready-to-win effect. When the main CPU 42 decides not to execute the ready-to-win performance in the performance lottery, the main CPU 42 performs a lottery for determination of the variation pattern using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines the loss variation pattern of ``no reach''. In addition, when the main CPU 42 decides to execute the ready-to-win effect in the effect lottery, the main CPU 42 performs a lottery to determine the variation pattern using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines the losing variation pattern of "with reach". do.

When the second special reservation number is 1 or more, the main CPU 42 performs processing for executing the second special game. In the process of executing the second special game, the "first special game" is changed to the "second special game", and the "first special reservation number" is changed to the "second special reservation number". , "1st special reservation display unit 13c" to "2nd special reservation display unit 13d", "1st jackpot lottery" to "2nd jackpot lottery", respectively. omitted. That is, the main CPU 42 performs any game process based on the subtraction of the second special reservation number, the big win lottery, the chance lottery, and the results of the big win lottery and the chance lottery, and then ends the special symbol start process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 42 executes the special symbol input process and the special symbol start process, the game ball enters the first start port 15 or the second start port 16. A big hit lottery and a chance lottery are performed with the ball as a trigger.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the probability that the jackpot symbol is derived in the special game when being controlled to the high-probability time-saving state is 1/110. On the other hand, the probability that the jackpot pattern is derived in the special game when it is controlled in one of the low-probability non-working time-saving state, the first low-probability time-saving state, the bee time-saving state, and the sea time-saving state is 1/200. . The probability that the chance symbols are derived in the special game is 1/100 regardless of the game state being controlled. Therefore, in both the first special game and the second special game, the probability of deriving a chance symbol is higher than the probability of deriving a big win result. In addition, the probability that the winning pattern is derived in the special game when being controlled to the high-probability time-saving state is about 1/1.02. On the other hand, the probability that the missing symbol is derived in the special game when it is controlled to one of the low-probability non-reduced working hours state, the first low-probable reduced working hours state, the B reduced working hours state, and the reduced reduced working hours state is about 1/1. 06.

The main CPU 42 stores the variation start command and the special symbol command in the output buffer in the jackpot game process, the chance game process, or the losing game process. The variation start command is a control command that can specify the variation pattern determined in each game process and the start of the special game (effect game). The special symbol command is a control command that can specify the special symbol determined in each game process. Note that the variation start command and the special symbol command are different control commands when the game processing of the first special game is executed and when the game processing of the second special game is executed. In the following description, the variation start command when the game processing of the first special game is executed is the "first variation start command", and the variation start command when the game processing of the second special game is performed is the "second variation start command". "variation start command". Also, in the following description, the special symbol command when the game processing of the first special game is executed is the "first special symbol command", and the special symbol command when the game processing of the second special game is performed is " It may be indicated as "second special symbol command".

After finishing the special symbol start process, the main CPU 42 executes the first special game or the second special game by a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, when the first special game is to be executed, the main CPU 42 controls the first special symbol display section 13a so as to start variable display of predetermined symbols. The main CPU 42 counts the variation time determined in the variation pattern. The main CPU 42 controls the first special symbol display section 13a so as to derive the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process when the variation time defined in the variation pattern has elapsed. At this time, the main CPU 42 causes the main RWM 44 to store information that can specify the derived special symbol (hereinafter referred to as stop symbol information). Further, when the variation time defined in the variation pattern has passed, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as a variation end command) that can specify the end of the special game in the output buffer. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute the first special game when a game ball enters the first start hole 15 .

On the other hand, when executing the second special game, the main CPU 42 controls the second special symbol display section 13b so as to start variable display of predetermined symbols. The main CPU 42 counts the variation time determined in the variation pattern. The main CPU 42 controls the second special symbol display section 13b so as to derive the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process when the variation time defined in the variation pattern has elapsed. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores the stop symbol information in the main RWM 44 . Further, the main CPU 42 stores a fluctuation end command in the output buffer after the fluctuation time set in the fluctuation pattern has passed. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute the second special game when a game ball enters the second start hole 16 .

Next, the jackpot game processing will be described.
The big-hit game process is a process for giving a big-hit game. The main CPU 42 of this embodiment performs the following control by executing the jackpot game process as the timer interrupt process. When the main CPU 42 derives the big win symbols in the special game, the main CPU 42 executes the big win game process after the big win special game ends. The main CPU 42 identifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the jackpot type) determined in the special symbol start process. The main CPU 42 awards the specified type of jackpot game.

First, the main CPU 42 stores a control command that can specify the start of the opening time (hereinafter referred to as opening command) in the output buffer. After the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 42 performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls the special solenoid SL2 using the specified opening control data for the big win game, and opens the big winning hole 18 . When the number of game balls detected by the special winning sensor SE3 reaches the upper limit number or the upper limit time elapses, the main CPU 42 controls the special solenoid SL2 to close the big winning opening 18. This ends the round game. The main CPU 42 repeats the process for executing such a round game until the upper limit number of round games set for the jackpot game is completed. Each time a round game is started, the main CPU 42 stores a control command that can specify the start of the round game (hereinafter referred to as a round command) in the output buffer. After finishing the final round game, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. The main CPU 42 terminates the jackpot game when the ending time elapses.

Next, the processing performed by the main CPU 42 to shift the game state will be described. In this embodiment, the main CPU 42, which performs processing for shifting the game state, corresponds to game state control means for controlling the game state.

When the probability state and the ball-entered state are changed, the main CPU 42 updates the game state information and stores it in the main RWM 44 . Specifically, when the main CPU 42 controls to the low probability state and the non-time saving state, the main RWM 44 stores the low probability non-time saving information as the game state information. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as a low-probability non-time-saving command) that can be specified to be controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state in the output buffer. When the main CPU 42 controls the high-probability state and the first time-saving state, the main RWM 44 stores the high-probability time-saving information as the game state information. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as a high-probability short-time command) that can be specified to be controlled to the high-probability short-time state in the output buffer. When the main CPU 42 controls to the low-probability state and the first time-saving state, the main RWM 44 stores the first low-probability time-saving information as game state information. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as a first low-probability short-time command) that can be specified to be controlled to the first low-probability short-time state in the output buffer. When the main CPU 42 controls the low-probability state and the second time-saving state with the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaching a specified number of times as a trigger, the main RWM 44 stores the bee-time-saving state as game state information. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores in the output buffer a control command (hereinafter referred to as a short beep command) that can be specified to be controlled to the short beep state. When the main CPU 42 controls to the low-probability state and the second time-saving state triggered by the derivation of the chance symbol in the special game, the main RWM 44 stores the sea time-saving state as game state information. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter referred to as a sea time saving command) that can be specified to be controlled to the sea time saving state.

The main CPU 42 sets a high probability flag in the main RWM 44 when finishing the third big win game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a high probability state. On the other hand, the main CPU 42 does not set the high accuracy flag in the main RWM 44 after finishing the first big win game or the second big win game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the low probability state. Further, the main CPU 42 does not set the high accuracy flag in the main RWM 44 when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the low probability state. Further, the main CPU 42 does not set the high accuracy flag to the main RWM 44 when a chance symbol is derived in the special game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the low probability state. The main CPU 42 erases the high probability flag when the big hit game is started and the high probability flag is set. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a low probability state during the jackpot game.

The main CPU 42 sets the first time-saving flag in the main RWM 44 when finishing the jackpot game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the first time-saving state, which is an example of the time-saving state. The main CPU 42 causes the main RWM 44 to store the number of times of time saving when finishing the jackpot game. The number of times of time saving in the present embodiment is the minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low-probability time-saving state when the jackpot lottery is not won after being controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state. is information that can specify the remaining number of times. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores a control command capable of specifying the number of times of time saving (hereinafter referred to as a time saving number command) in the output buffer. Concretely, when the first big win is achieved while being controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state, the main RWM 44 stores 100 times as the number of times of time-saving when the first big-win game is ended. When the main CPU 42 terminates the first jackpot game when the first jackpot is achieved while being controlled in one of the high-probability short-time state, the first low-probability short-time state, the short-time bee state, and the short-time sea state. , 200 times are stored in the main RWM 44 as the number of times of time saving. The main CPU 42 stores 490 times in the main RWM 44 as the number of times of time reduction when the second big win game is ended regardless of the game state being controlled. The main CPU 42 does not store the number of times of time saving in the main RWM 44 when the third big win game is ended regardless of the game state being controlled.

The main CPU 42 updates (subtracts 1 in this embodiment) the number of times of time saving stored in the main RWM 44 each time the special game is finished after the first big win game or the second big win game is finished. When the number of times of time saving is updated, the main CPU 42 stores in the output buffer a number of times of working hours command that can specify the number of times of saving time after updating. The main CPU 42 erases the first time saving flag when the number of time saving times after the update becomes 0. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a non-time-saving state.

As described above, when the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is ended, the main CPU 42 controls to the first low-probability time-saving state. On the other hand, the main CPU 42, when ending the third jackpot game, controls to a high-probability time-saving state. That is, the first low-probability time-saving state may be controlled after the jackpot game ends. In addition, the high-probability time-saving state may be controlled after the end of the jackpot game.

The main CPU 42 sets a second time saving flag in the main RWM 44 when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the second time-saving state, which is an example of the time-saving state. Specifically, the main CPU 42 causes the main RWM 44 to store 500 times as the number of times of operation when the jackpot game is ended. The number of times of operation in this embodiment is information that can specify the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period. That is, the number of operations is information that can specify the number of executions of the special game when the probability state is the low probability state in the period from the end of the big win game to the awarding of the big win game. When the main RWM 44 stores the initial number of operations, the main CPU 42 stores a control command (hereinafter referred to as an operation number command) capable of specifying the number of operations in the output buffer. After the end of the jackpot game, the main CPU 42 updates the number of operations stored in the main RWM 44 (subtracts 1 in this embodiment) every time the special game ends when the probability state is the low probability state. do. When the number of operations is updated, the main CPU 42 stores an operation number command that can specify the number of operations after updating in the output buffer. When the number of operations is decremented by 1 and becomes 0, the main CPU 42 sets the second time saving flag in the main RWM 44 . That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the second time saving state. In this way, the main CPU 42 performs control to the short working time state when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. That is, the bee time saving state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. The main CPU 42 causes the main RWM 44 to store 760 times as the number of times of time saving when controlling to the second time saving state based on the fact that the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has reached the specified number of times. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores the time saving command in the output buffer. The number of times of time saving in this embodiment can specify the remaining number of the predetermined number of special games that can be executed in the time saving state when the jackpot lottery is not won after being controlled to the time saving state. Information.

The main CPU 42 updates (subtracts 1 in this embodiment) the number of times of time saving stored in the main RWM 44 each time the special game is ended after controlling the time saving state. When the number of times of time saving is updated, the main CPU 42 stores in the output buffer a number of times of working hours command that can specify the number of times of saving time after updating. The main CPU 42 erases the second time saving flag when the number of time saving times after the update becomes 0. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a non-time-saving state. As described above, in the present embodiment, after being controlled to the bee time saving state, 760 special games can be executed while being controlled to the bee time saving state. Then, when the number of executions of the special game in the bee time saving state reaches 760 times (predetermined number of times), it is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state.

The main CPU 42 may set a second time saving flag in the main RWM 44 when a chance symbol is derived in the special game. That is, the main CPU 42 may control to the second time-saving state, which is an example of the time-saving state. Specifically, when the ball-entering state is a non-time-saving state and the stop symbol information stored in the main RWM 44 is a chance symbol, the main CPU 42 sets the second time-saving flag in the main RWM 44 . That is, the main CPU 42 controls to the second time saving state. The main CPU 42 causes the main RWM 44 to store 90 times as the number of times of time saving when controlling to the second time saving state based on the derivation of the chance symbol in the special game. At this time, the main CPU 42 stores the time saving command in the output buffer. The number of times of time saving in the present embodiment can specify the remaining number of specific times of special games that can be executed in the time saving state when the jackpot lottery is not won after being controlled to the time saving state. Information. Incidentally, the main CPU 42 does not set the second time saving flag to the main RWM 44 when a winning symbol is derived in the special game. Further, the main CPU 42 does not set the second time saving flag to the main RWM 44 even if the chance symbol is derived in the special game when the ball entering state is the time saving state. In this way, the main CPU 42 may perform control to the sea time saving state after the chance symbol is derived in the special game. That is, the sea time saving state may be controlled after the chance symbol is derived in the special game. As described above, the probability that the chance symbol is derived in the special game is 1/100 when the low probability state is controlled. On the other hand, when it is controlled to the low probability state, the probability that a winning symbol is derived in the special game is about 1/1.02. For this reason, for example, the probability that the chance symbol is derived in the special game when it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state and is controlled to the sea time-saving state is a special game when it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state It is lower than the probability that the chance pattern is not derived in , and is not controlled to the sea time saving state.

The main CPU 42 updates (subtracts 1 in this embodiment) the number of times of time saving stored in the main RWM 44 each time the special game is ended after controlling the time saving state. When the number of times of time saving is updated, the main CPU 42 stores in the output buffer a number of times of working hours command that can specify the number of times of saving time after updating. The main CPU 42 erases the second time saving flag when the number of time saving times after the update becomes 0. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a non-time-saving state. Thus, in this embodiment, after being controlled to the sea time saving state, 90 special games can be executed while being controlled to the sea time saving state. Then, when the number of executions of the special game in the sea time saving state reaches 90 times (specific number of times), it is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state. As described above, in the present embodiment, after being controlled to the bee short working hours state, it is possible to execute the special game 760 times (predetermined number of times) while being controlled to the second low probability short working hours state. On the other hand, it is possible to execute a special game 90 times (a specific number of times) when being controlled in the second low-probability short working hours state after being controlled in the short working hours state. Thus, in this embodiment, the specific number of times is smaller than the predetermined number of times.

Here, the value of the denominator is 100 when the probability (1/100) that the chance symbol is derived in the special game when being controlled in the low-probability short-time state is a unit fraction. Therefore, the value of the denominator when the probability that the chance symbol is derived in the special game when being controlled to the low-probability short working hours state is a unit fraction is larger than the value of the specific number of times. For this reason, for example, the average number of executions of the special game until the chance symbol is derived is about 100 times when being controlled to the low-probability short working hours state. After being controlled to the sea time saving state, 90 special games can be executed in the sea time saving state. Therefore, when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the frequency of winning the jackpot lottery after being controlled to the sea-time-saving state is not controlled to the sea-time-saving state, but is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. It tends to be less frequent than the frequency of winning a big win in a big win lottery when there is a lottery.

The main CPU 42 erases the first time saving flag and the second time saving flag when the main RWM 44 stores the first time saving flag or the second time saving flag when starting the jackpot game. That is, the main CPU 42 controls to a non-time-saving state during the jackpot game. As described above, the main CPU 42 controls to the low probability non-reduction of working hours state when the number of times of reduction of working hours is decremented by 1 and becomes 0 while being controlled to the first low probability of reduction of working hours state. That is, the low-probability short working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game reaches the minimum guaranteed number of times after the jackpot game ends. The main CPU 42 controls to a low-probability non-working time saving state when the number of times of working time saving is decremented by 1 and becomes 0 while being controlled to the bee time saving state. That is, the low-probability short working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game in the short working hours state reaches a predetermined number. The main CPU 42 controls to the low-probability non-working time saving state when the number of times of working time saving is decremented by 1 and becomes 0 while being controlled to the sea time saving state. That is, the low-probability non-reduced working hours state is controlled when the number of executions of the special game in the reduced working hours state reaches the specific number of times.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 42 will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 25 (entered) based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the normal starting sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 25, the main CPU 42 terminates the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 25, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 44 is less than the upper limit number. When the normal reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 terminates the normal symbol input process. When the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 42 adds 1 to the number of normal reservations and updates it. The main CPU 42 controls the normal reservation display section 13f so as to display information capable of specifying the number of normal reservations after updating.

Next, the main CPU 42 acquires a random number generated by the random number circuit 45 and causes the main RWM 44 to store random number information based on the acquired random number. The main CPU 42 stores the random number information so that it can be specified that the random number information is for normal games and the order in which the random number information is stored. After that, the main CPU 42 terminates the normal symbol input process. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment stores the random number information used in the normal game in the main RWM 44, so that the execution of the normal game can be suspended until the conditions for executing the normal game are satisfied.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 42 will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the conditions for executing the normal game are satisfied. The main CPU 42 makes an affirmative determination when the normal winning game is not in progress and when the normal game is not in progress, while making a negative determination when the normal winning game is in progress or the normal game is in progress. When the normal game execution condition is not satisfied, the main CPU 42 terminates the normal symbol start process. When the normal game execution condition is satisfied, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the number of normal reservations is greater than zero. When the normal reserved number is 0, the normal symbol start process is terminated.

When the number of normal reservations is greater than 0, the main CPU 42 performs processing for executing a normal game. Specifically, the main CPU 42 updates the number of normal reservations by subtracting one. The main CPU 42 controls the normal reservation display section 13f so as to display information capable of specifying the number of normal reservations after updating. Next, the main CPU 42 acquires from the main RWM 44 the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game. Subsequently, the main CPU 42 uses the acquired random number information to perform a normal lottery (normal win determination) to determine whether or not to win a normal win. In addition, the main CPU 42 performs a normal lottery with a normal winning probability according to the current ball entry state (any of the non-time saving state, the first time saving state, and the second time saving state), and whether or not the normal winning is won determine whether The normal hit probability in the first time saving state is higher than the normal hitting probability in the non time saving state and the second time saving state. In other words, when it is in the first time-saving state, it is easier to win a normal hit than when it is in the non-time-saving state and the second time-saving state. In addition, the normal hit probability in the second time saving state is the same as the normal hitting probability in the non time saving state.

When the normal winning is won, the main CPU 42 determines the normal winning symbols to be fixed and displayed in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game, and then terminates the normal symbol start processing. When the normal hit is not won, the main CPU 42 determines the normal losing symbols to be fixed and displayed in the normal game and the variable time of the normal game, and then terminates the normal symbol start processing. In the present embodiment, the variation time of the normal game in the time-saving state is shorter than the variation time of the normal game in the non-time-saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the number of normal lotteries executed per unit time tends to increase as compared with the non-time-saving state. As a result, in the time saving state, the number of winning times per unit time is likely to increase as compared with the non-working time saving state. Therefore, the time-saving state has a high degree of advantage regarding entry of game balls to the second starting port 16 as compared with the non-time-saving state. After completing the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 42 causes the normal game to be executed by a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main CPU 42 starts the normal game, and when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process has passed, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is fixed and stopped. It controls the display unit 13e.

Next, the normal winning game processing performed by the main CPU 42 will be described.
The normal per game process is a process for giving a normal per game. The main CPU 42 of the present embodiment performs the following control by executing normal winning game processing as timer interrupt processing.

When the normal winning symbols are derived in the normal game, the main CPU 42 executes normal winning game processing after the normal winning normal game ends. In the normal winning game process, the main CPU 42 controls the normal solenoid SL1 so that the second starting port 16 is opened in the opening mode in the time saving state when the time saving state. In addition, when the main CPU 42 is in the non-time-saving state, the main CPU 42 normally controls the solenoid SL1 so that the second starting port 16 is opened in the open mode in the non-time-saving state.

In the present embodiment, the opening mode in the time saving state has a higher number of times that the second start port 16 is opened in one normal per game compared to the opening mode in the non-time saving state, and The total time for which the second starting port 16 is open is long. Therefore, when the second starting port 16 is opened in the open mode when the time saving state, compared to when the second starting port 16 is opened in the open mode when the non-time saving state It is easy to enter a game ball into the starting port 16.例文帳に追加That is, when it is in the time-saving state, the advantage of the game ball entering the second starting port 16 is higher than when it is in the non-time-saving state.

As described above, the first time-saving state has a high degree of advantage regarding the entry of the game ball to the second starting port 16 as compared with the non-time-saving state. In addition, the second time-saving state has a higher degree of advantage regarding entry of the game ball into the second starting port 16 as compared with the non-time-saving state. That is, the high probability time saving state, the first low probability time saving state, the bee time saving state, and the sea time saving state are more advantageous for entering the game ball into the second start port 16 than the low probability non time saving state. .

Next, the winning process performed by the main CPU 42 will be described.
When the detection signal is input from the first starting sensor SE1, the main CPU 42 performs control to impart a predetermined number (three in this embodiment) of game balls. At this time, the main CPU 42 outputs a control command (hereinafter referred to as a first winning command) capable of specifying that three game balls are to be paid out based on the fact that the game balls have entered the first starting port 15. Store in buffer. When the detection signal is input from the second starting sensor SE2, the main CPU 42 performs control to provide a predetermined number (three in this embodiment) of game balls. At this time, the main CPU 42 outputs a control command (hereinafter referred to as a second winning command) capable of specifying that three game balls are to be paid out based on the entry of the game balls into the second starting port 16. Store in buffer. When the detection signal is input from the special winning sensor SE3, the main CPU 42 performs control to award a predetermined number (15 in this embodiment) of game balls. At this time, the main CPU 42 sends a control command (hereinafter referred to as a special prize winning command) that can specify that 15 game balls will be paid out based on the fact that the game balls have entered the big prize winning port 18, to the output buffer. Store. When a detection signal is input from a normal winning sensor (not shown), the main CPU 42 performs control to award a predetermined number (one in this embodiment) of game balls. At this time, the main CPU 42 sends a control command (hereinafter referred to as normal winning command) that can specify that one game ball is paid out based on the game ball entering the big winning hole 18 to the output buffer. Store.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 51 of the sub control board 50 will be described.
First, processing when a control command relating to the game state is input will be described.
When the low-probability non-shortening working hours command is input, the sub-CPU51 stores in the sub-RWM 53 information that can specify that the low-probability non-shortening working hours state is controlled. Sub CPU51 memorize|stores in sub RWM53 the information which can be specified that it is controlled by high probability short working hours state, when a high probability short working hours command is input. Sub CPU51 makes sub RWM53 memorize|store the information which can be specified that it is controlled by the 1st low probability short working hours state, when the 1st low probability short working hours command is input. When the sub CPU 51 receives the bee time saving command, the sub RWM 53 stores information that can specify that the bee time saving state is being controlled. When the sub CPU 51 receives the sea time saving command, the sub RWM 53 stores information that can specify that the sea time saving state is being controlled. The sub CPU 51 can specify the game state being controlled by inputting a control command relating to the game state.

Next, the effect game processing will be described.
The effect game process is a process for executing the effect game as one of the display effects related to the special game during execution of the special game. When the sub CPU 51 inputs the variation start command and the special symbol command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the effect game corresponding to the special game. Specifically, when a variation start command is input, the sub CPU 51 selects an effect pattern (details of effect) for the effect game based on a change pattern that can be specified from the control command. Also, the sub CPU 51 determines a symbol combination to be derived in the effect game based on special symbols that can be specified from the input special symbol command. The sub CPU 51 determines a combination of jackpot symbols when the jackpot symbols can be identified from the special symbol command. The sub CPU 51 determines a non-jackpot symbol combination when the symbol deviating from the special symbol command can be specified. The sub CPU 51 determines a non-jackpot symbol combination when the chance symbol can be specified from the special symbol command. The sub CPU 51 may determine a non-jackpot symbol combination including a reach when a loss variation pattern associated with execution of either the normal reach effect or the super reach effect is specified.

In the effect game process, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device EH so as to start the variable display of the effect symbols of each symbol row with the input of the variation start command as a trigger. That is, the sub CPU 51 starts the effect game. The secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device EH so that the effect game is performed based on the determined effect pattern during the variation time determined by the variation pattern. Then, after starting the effect game, when a predetermined timing arrives, the sub CPU 51 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination, and upon input of the variation end command, stops and fixes the symbol combination. For example, when the secondary CPU 51 inputs a variation start command of a missing variation pattern associated with execution of a super ready-to-win effect, after starting the effect game, the super ready-to-win effect is executed, and when a predetermined timing arrives, The pattern combination is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the pattern combination is fixed and displayed with the input of the fluctuation end command as a trigger.

Next, the big hit effect processing will be described.
The big-hit effect processing is a process for executing an effect (hereinafter referred to as a big-hit effect) during the big-hit game. When the sub CPU 51 inputs an opening command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect device group DE so as to execute an opening effect. When the sub CPU 51 inputs the round command, it controls the effect device group DE so as to execute the round effect. When a special winning command is input during the jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 causes the sub RWM 53 to store information that can specify the number of game balls obtained during the jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as the number of prize balls during the jackpot game). That is, the number of prize balls during the jackpot game can specify the total number of game balls paid out based on the game balls entering the jackpot 18 during the period from the start of the jackpot game to the end of the jackpot game. information. Not limited to this, the number of prize balls during the jackpot game is sent to the jackpot 18, the first start port 15, the second start port 16, and the normal win port 26 from the start to the end of the jackpot game. The total number of game balls put out based on the entry of the game balls may be specified as the information. The sub CPU 51 may control the effect display device EH so as to display the total number of game balls that can be specified from the number of prize balls during the jackpot game. When the sub CPU 51 inputs the ending command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect device group DE so as to execute the ending effect.

Next, the production mode will be explained.
The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute an effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of presentation modes. The performance mode is also called a performance state. In each production mode, mode identification information that can identify the production mode during stay (the production mode being controlled) is notified. In the pachinko game machine 10, different background images are displayed on the effect display device EH for each type of effect mode. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, for example, the decoration lamp LA is caused to emit light in a different luminescent color for each type of production mode, or background music which is different for each type of production mode is output from the speaker SP. to be notified. The performance modes in the pachinko game machine 10 include a normal mode, a first chance mode, and a second chance mode. The first chance mode corresponds to the first production mode and corresponds to a specific production mode. The second chance mode corresponds to the second effect mode.

Here, the control concerning production mode is demonstrated. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect mode.
The sub CPU 51 controls to the normal mode when being controlled to the low-probability short-time state. The secondary CPU 51 controls the second chance mode after the first big win game is finished. After the end of the first jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 controls the second chance mode until it is controlled to the low-probability short-time state. After the end of the first jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the normal mode when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. The secondary CPU 51 controls the second chance mode after the second big win game is finished. The sub CPU 51 controls the second chance mode until the low-probability non-time-saving state is controlled after the end of the second jackpot game. The sub CPU 51 controls to the normal mode when it is controlled to the low-probability short-time state after the end of the second jackpot game. The sub CPU 51 controls to the first chance mode after the third jackpot game is finished. When the secondary CPU 51 is controlled to the bee time saving state, it controls to the second chance mode. The secondary CPU 51 is controlled to the normal mode when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after being controlled to the bee-time-saving state. Sub CPU51 will be controlled to 2nd chance mode, if it is controlled by a sea time saving state. Sub CPU51, after being controlled to the sea time-saving state, when it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the normal mode. Sub CPU51 controls to 1st chance mode, when being controlled by the highly reliable time saving state. The secondary CPU 51 controls to the second chance mode when being controlled to any of the first low probability time saving state, the bee time saving state, and the sea time saving state. As described above, the high-probability time-saving state is a game state that is more advantageous than the first low-probability time-saving state, the bee time-saving state, and the sea time-saving state. Therefore, the game state in which the first chance mode is controlled is more advantageous than the game state in which the second chance mode is controlled. Thus, the sub CPU 51 can control a plurality of effect modes including the first chance mode and the second chance mode. The pachinko game machine 10 of the present embodiment wins a jackpot lottery when it is controlled to either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, or when it is controlled to the low probability non-shortening working hours state. It is easy to be controlled to a highly accurate time-saving state as compared with the case of winning a big hit. For this reason, when a big hit is achieved while being controlled in either the bee time-saving state or the sea time-saving state, the first chance mode is higher than the case of being a big hit while being controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state. easily controlled by

Here, the result presentation that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described together with the result information storage process performed by the sub CPU 51. FIG.
The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a result performance when it is controlled in a low-probability short-time state. The result effect in this embodiment is a effect related to a big hit. When the pachinko game machine 10 wins a jackpot lottery while being controlled in a low-probability non-time-saving state, a B-time-saving state, and a sea-time-saving state, the pachinko game machine 10 is changed from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability state. When it is controlled in a non-time-saving state, it is configured to be able to execute a result production. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled in a low-probability non-time-saving state, it becomes a third big hit, and after the third big win game ends, it becomes the first big win, and after the first big win game ends, 200 times. When the special game is finished and the state is controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probability non-shortening working hours state, a result performance is executed. In this way, the effects that the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute include the result effects that are executed along with being controlled to the low-probability short-time state. A result effect can be executed in the effect display device EH. The result production corresponds to the special production. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled from the bee time saving state to the low probability non-working time saving state, the result performance is not executed. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the short working time state, when the big winning lottery is not won in the short working time state and the game machine 10 is controlled from the short working time state to the low probability non-short working time state, the result production is performed. Not executed. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled from the sea time-saving state to the low probability non-time-saving state, the result performance is not executed. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, after being controlled to the sea time-saving state, when the sea time-saving state is controlled from the sea time-saving state to the low probability non-time-saving state without winning the jackpot lottery in the sea time-saving state, the result performance is performed. Not executed.

FIG. 6 shows an example of display contents of the effect display device EH when the result effect is executed. When the result effect is executed, the effect display device EH displays a character string Rs1 indicating the number of "win streak", a character string Rs2 indicating the number of "acquisition", and characters indicating the rank of "rank". A row Rs3 and a character Ca imitating a "samurai" are displayed. The number of "successive wins" is information indicating the number of times a big win has been won in a big win lottery under control in the first chance mode. Thus, the number of "successive wins" in this embodiment is different from the number of consecutive big hits (so-called number of consecutive wins). The number of “acquisitions” is information suggesting the number of game balls acquired during one or more jackpot games. The rank of "rank" is information indicating the number of rank points added by the production mode when winning a big win in a big win lottery, the type of jackpot pattern derived when winning a big win in a big win lottery, and the number of points added. be. The number of rank points will be described later. A character string Rs3 corresponding to the number of rank points is displayed on the effect display device EH. Types of the character string Rs3 include "apprentice", "white belt", "black belt", "teacher assistant", and "tenka unrivaled". The number of corresponding rank points increases in the order of "apprentice"<"white belt"<"black belt"<"superinstructor"<"unrivaled world". The character strings Rs1 to Rs3 displayed on the effect display device EH when the result effect is executed will be described in detail below together with the result information storage process performed by the secondary CPU 51. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the result information storage process, the secondary CPU 51 determines whether or not an ending command has been input (step S201). If no ending command has been input (step S201: NO), the secondary CPU 51 proceeds to the process of step S203. When an ending command is input (step S201: YES), the sub CPU 51 stores prize balls during a jackpot game in information that can specify the number of game balls acquired during one or more jackpot games (hereinafter referred to as the total number of wins). The number obtained by adding the numbers is stored in the secondary RWM 53 as the total acquisition number (step S202). At this time, the sub CPU 51 initializes the number of prize balls during the jackpot game and stores it in the sub RWM 53 . After that, the secondary CPU 51 proceeds to the process of step S203. In this way, the secondary CPU 51 updates the total number of wins by adding the number of prize balls during the big win game to the total number of wins each time the big win game ends. That is, the total win count may be updated based on the total win count stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Then, when the total acquisition number is updated, it is updated cumulatively from the total acquisition number stored in the secondary RWM 53 . The total acquisition number is an example of special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Although it will be described later in detail, the total acquisition number is initialized when a predetermined condition is established after being controlled to a low-probability short-time state after the end of the jackpot game. In other words, the total acquired number is held without being initialized until a predetermined condition is met. Thus, the total win count can be cumulatively updated based on the uninitialized retained total win count. When executing the result effect, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display the total winning number stored in the sub RWM 53 as a character string Rs2. For example, when the total winning number stored in the sub RWM 53 is 6000, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display 6000 ryo.

As the process of step S203, the secondary CPU 51 determines whether or not the normal mode is being set. If it is in the normal mode (step S203: YES), the secondary CPU 51 ends the result information storage process. If the normal mode is not in progress (step S203: NO), the secondary CPU 51 determines whether or not a fluctuation end command has been input (step S204). If the fluctuation end command has not been input (step S204: NO), the secondary CPU 51 ends the result information storage process. When the variation end command is input (step S204: YES), the sub CPU 51 determines whether or not the symbol that can be specified from the input special symbol command is not a big hit symbol (step S205). If the symbol is not a big hit (step S205: YES), the sub CPU 51 terminates the result information storage process. If the symbol is a big hit (step S205: NO), the sub CPU 51 executes a rank point process (step S206).

Rank point processing will be described.
The rank point processing is processing for updating the number of rank points. The sub CPU 51 updates the rank point number according to the performance mode when winning the big win in the big win lottery and the type of the big win pattern derived when winning the big win in the big win lottery, and stores it in the sub RWM 53. - 特許庁. Specifically, when a big win is won in the big win lottery during the first chance mode, and either the big win pattern ZA or the big win pattern Za is derived, the sub CPU 51 adds 10 points to the number of rank points. It is stored in the secondary RWM 53 as the number of rank points. When a big win is won in a big win lottery during the first chance mode and either the big win pattern ZB or the big win pattern Zb is derived, the secondary CPU 51 adds 20 points to the number of rank points as the number of rank points. It is stored in the sub RWM 53 . When a big win is won in a big win lottery during the first chance mode and either the big win pattern ZC or the big win pattern Zc is derived, the sub CPU 51 adds 100 points to the number of rank points as the number of rank points. It is stored in the sub RWM 53 . When a big win is won in a big win lottery during the second chance mode and either the big win pattern ZC or the big win pattern Zc is derived, the secondary CPU 51 adds 25 points to the number of rank points as the number of rank points. It is stored in the sub RWM 53 . In the second chance mode, if a big win is won in a big win lottery and any one of the big win pattern ZA, the big win pattern Za, the big win pattern ZB, and the big win pattern Zb is derived, the secondary CPU 51 determines the number of rank points. Do not add points. In this way, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and a big win pattern is derived, the secondary CPU 51 adds the number of points to the rank point number according to the controlled production mode and the type of the derived big win pattern. is added to update the number of tier points. That is, the number of tier points may be updated based on the number of tier points stored in the secondary RWM 53 . When the number of grade points is updated, the number of grade points stored in the secondary RWM 53 is cumulatively updated. The number of rank points is an example of special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Although it will be described in detail later, the number of rank points is initialized when a predetermined condition is satisfied after being controlled to a low-probability short-time state after the end of the jackpot game. In other words, the number of rank points is held without being initialized until a predetermined condition is met. Therefore, the number of tier points can be cumulatively updated based on the number of tier points held without being initialized.

When executing the result effect, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display a character string Rs3 corresponding to the number of rank points stored in the sub RWM 53 . Specifically, when the number of rank points is 50 points or less, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display "Apprentice". When the number of rank points is 100 points or less, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display "white belt". When the number of rank points is 500 points or less, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display "black belt". When the number of rank points is 1000 points or less, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display "master master". When the number of rank points is 1001 points or more, the sub CPU 51 causes the effect display device EH to display "unrivaled in the world". In this way, the secondary CPU 51 changes the content of the character string Rs3 displayed on the effect display device EH when executing the result effect by cumulatively updating the number of rank points stored in the secondary RWM 53. . When causing the character string Rs3 corresponding to the number of rank points to be displayed on the effect display device EH, the sub CPU 51 may change the form of the character Ca according to the character string Rs3.

After completing the grade point processing in step S206, the secondary CPU 51 determines whether or not the second chance mode is in progress (step S207). If it is in the second chance mode (step S207: YES), the secondary CPU 51 ends the result information storage process. If the second chance mode is not in progress (step S207: NO), the sub CPU 51 provides information (hereinafter referred to as the number of winning streaks) that can specify the number of times the jackpot has been won in the jackpot lottery while the first chance mode is being controlled. is stored in the secondary RWM 53 as the number of winning streaks (step S208). Thus, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and a big win pattern is derived, the sub CPU 51 adds 1 to the number of consecutive wins to update the number of consecutive wins. In other words, the number of consecutive wins may be updated based on the number of consecutive wins stored in the secondary RWM 53 . When the winning streak is updated, the winning streak stored in the secondary RWM 53 is cumulatively updated. The winning streak is an example of special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Although details will be described later, the number of winning streaks is initialized when a predetermined condition is satisfied after being controlled to a low-probability short-time state after the end of the big hit game. In other words, the winning streak is held without being initialized until a predetermined condition is met. Thus, the winning streak can be cumulatively updated based on the uninitialized and retained winning streak. Also, the winning streak can be updated when the control is in the first chance mode, but cannot be updated when the control is in either the normal mode or the second chance mode. That is, the number of winning streaks is updated on the condition that the game is controlled to at least the first chance mode. After that, the secondary CPU 51 causes the secondary RWM 53 to store the result effect execution flag (step S209). The result performance execution flag is information for determining whether or not to execute the result performance when being controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probability short working hours state. The secondary CPU 51 then terminates the result information storage process. As described above, the secondary RWM 53 is configured to be able to store the total number of wins, the number of rank points, and the number of consecutive wins, which are examples of special information. In the following description, the total acquisition number, rank point number, and winning streak number stored in the secondary RWM 53 are collectively referred to as "special information". As described above, the special information includes information about big wins. And special information may be updated based on the special information memorize|stored in sub RWM53 until it is controlled by the low-probability non-time-saving state after becoming a big hit. In this embodiment, the secondary RWM 53 corresponds to storage means capable of storing special information.

Next, the process of initializing the special information stored in the sub-RWM 53 by the sub-CPU 51 will be described.
The secondary CPU 51 initializes the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 when a predetermined condition is established after being controlled to the low-probability short working hours state. Specifically, the sub CPU 51 initializes the special information when a predetermined condition is satisfied after being controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state after the end of the jackpot game. The predetermined conditions include a first predetermined condition, a second predetermined condition, and a third predetermined condition. The first predetermined condition is that after the end of the jackpot game, the number of times the special game is executed exceeds 50 times, which corresponds to the special number of times, when the special game is controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state, out of the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period. established when When the sub CPU 51 inputs the operation count command after the jackpot game ends, the sub RWM 53 updates the execution count of the special game for each game state within a predetermined period and stores it in the sub RWM 53 . When the operation count command is input while being controlled to the first low-probability short working hours state, the sub CPU 51 adds 1 to the number of executions of the special game in the first low-probable short working hours state within a predetermined period, and stores it in the sub RWM 53. Let When the sub CPU 51 inputs the number-of-operations command while being controlled in the short time bee state, the sub CPU 51 adds 1 to the number of executions of the special game in the short time bee state within a predetermined period and stores it in the sub RWM 53 . When the operation count command is input while being controlled in the short working hours state, the sub CPU 51 adds 1 to the number of executions of the special game in the short working hours state within a predetermined period and stores it in the sub RWM 53 . When the sub CPU 51 inputs the number-of-operations command while being controlled to the low-probability unreduced working hours state, the sub-RWM 53 adds 1 to the number of executions of the special game in the low-probability unreduced working hours state within a predetermined period and stores it in the sub RWM 53 . As a result, the secondary CPU 51 can specify the number of times the special game is executed when the special game is executed in the low-probability short-time state, out of the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period after the end of the jackpot game. The sub CPU 51 initializes the number of executions of the special game for each game state within a predetermined period stored in the sub RWM 53 when the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the bee time saving state. After the end of the jackpot game, when the number of executions of the special game exceeds 50 times, which corresponds to the special number of times, when the number of executions of the special game is controlled in the low-probability short-time state within a predetermined period. Initialize special information. Further, when the secondary CPU 51 initializes the special information, it also initializes the result effect execution flag.

The second predetermined condition is, after the end of the jackpot game, after being controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state, without being controlled to a game state different from the low certain non short working hours state, Established when the number of executions of the special game in the time saving state exceeds 15 times corresponding to the special number of times. That is, the second predetermined condition is satisfied when the special game in the low-probability non-time-saving state is continuously executed 16 times after the end of the jackpot game. After the jackpot game is finished, the sub CPU 51 performs the special game executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state after being controlled from the first low-probable unreduced working hours state. The number of executions (hereinafter referred to as the number of consecutive executions) is stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Specifically, after the jackpot game is over, the sub CPU 51 adds 1 to the number of consecutive executions and stores it in the sub RWM 53 when the variable start command is input in the low probability non-time saving state. The secondary CPU 51 initializes the number of consecutive executions stored in the secondary RWM 53 when controlled to a gaming state different from the low-probability short working hours state. For example, the secondary CPU51 initializes the number of consecutive executions stored in the secondary RWM53 when it is controlled from the low-probability unpromising time-saving state to the sea time-saving state. The secondary CPU 51 is controlled from the low-probability non-reduction of working hours state to the low-probability non-reduction of working hours state, and updates the initialized continuous execution count again when the special game is executed in the low-probability non-reduction of working hours state. As a result, the secondary CPU 51 is executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state after being controlled from the first low-probable unreduced working-hours state to the low-probable unreduced working hours state after the end of the jackpot game. It is possible to specify the number of executions of the special game. After the jackpot game is finished, the sub CPU 51 performs the special game executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state after being controlled from the first low-probable unreduced working hours state. When the number of times of execution exceeds 15 times corresponding to the special number of times, the special information is initialized. Further, when the secondary CPU 51 initializes the special information, it also initializes the result effect execution flag.

A third predetermined condition is established when a big win is won in a big win lottery in the low probability non-reduction of working hours state after the first low probability non-reduction of working hours state is controlled after the end of the big winning game. The sub CPU 51 initializes the special information when the symbol that can be specified from the input special symbol command is a jackpot symbol while being controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state. Further, when the secondary CPU 51 initializes the special information, it also initializes the result effect execution flag.

As described above, the secondary CPU 51 initializes the special information when a predetermined condition is satisfied after being controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probable short working hours state after the end of the jackpot game. On the other hand, the secondary CPU 51 can hold the special information without initializing it when a specific condition is satisfied. The specific condition is controlled to a short working time state after the end of the jackpot game, controlled from a first low-probability short working-time state to a low-probable non-short working-time state, and before a predetermined condition is established, and a big hit by a jackpot lottery in the short working-time state. Established when elected to For example, when a jackpot is won in a jackpot lottery while being controlled to either a low-probability non-time-saving state or a bee-time-saving state, and then after being controlled to a low-probability non-time-saving state, the predetermined condition is Before establishment, it is controlled to a short working time state, and when a big win is won in the big winning lottery in the short working time state, the special information is held without being initialized. On the other hand, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery while being controlled to either the low-probability non-time-saving state or the bee-time-saving state, and then after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the predetermined condition is If the specific condition is not satisfied due to being satisfied, the special information is initialized. Further, the secondary CPU 51 can hold the special information without initializing it when the special condition is satisfied. The special condition is that after the jackpot game is over, the player is controlled from the first low-probability short-working-time state to the low-probable non-short-working-time state, and before a predetermined condition is established, it is controlled to the short-time state, and in the short-time state, the player wins a jackpot lottery. Established when elected to For example, when a jackpot is won in a jackpot lottery while being controlled to either a low-probability non-time-saving state or a sea-time-saving state, and then after being controlled to a low-probability non-time-saving state, a predetermined condition is Before establishment, it is controlled to the sea time saving state, and when a big win is won in the big winning lottery in the sea time saving state, the special information is held without being initialized. On the other hand, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery while being controlled to either the low-probability non-time-saving state or the sea-time-saving state, and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the predetermined condition is When the special condition is not satisfied due to the establishment, the special information is initialized.

When the sub CPU 51 updates the special information by winning a big win in a big win lottery after initializing the special information, the secondary CPU 51 cumulatively updates the initialized special information. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 51 updates the special information by winning the big win in the big win lottery without initializing the special information, the secondary CPU 51 cumulatively updates the special information held without being initialized. That is, when the special information is updated from the initialized special information, it is cumulatively updated from the initialized big hit information stored in the sub RWM 53 . On the other hand, when the special information is updated from the special information held without being initialized, it is cumulatively updated from the information on the big win stored in the sub RWM 53 and held without being initialized.

Next, the process of executing the result effect performed by the sub CPU 51 will be described.
The sub CPU 51 determines whether or not to execute a result performance when being controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probability non-shortening working hours state. That is, the secondary CPU 51 determines whether or not to execute the result production when the low probability non-shortening working hours command is input while being controlled in the first low probability short working hours state. Specifically, when the sub CPU 51 inputs a low-probability non-short-time command while being controlled to the first low-probability short-time state, it determines whether or not the result performance execution flag is stored in the sub-RWM 53 . When the result effect execution flag is stored in the sub RWM 53, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device EH so that the result effect is executed. On the other hand, when the result effect execution flag is not stored in the sub RWM 53, the sub CPU 51 does not execute the result effect. As shown in FIG. 7, the sub CPU 51 stores a result performance execution flag in the sub RWM 53 when winning a big win in the big win lottery under the control of the first chance mode. On the other hand, the sub CPU 51 does not store the result effect execution flag in the sub RWM 53 when being controlled to either the normal mode or the second chance mode. And sub CPU51 will initialize a result production|presentation execution flag, when predetermined conditions are satisfied after being controlled by the low probability non-reduction of working hours state. Therefore, when the first chance mode is controlled even once after winning the big win in the big win lottery and before being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the result performance execution flag is stored in the sub-RWM 53.例文帳に追加On the other hand, when the first chance mode is never controlled until the low-probability non-time-saving state is controlled after the jackpot lottery is won, the result performance execution flag is not stored in the sub-RWM 53. - 特許庁Therefore, for example, after winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery when it is controlled to either the bee time-saving state or the low-probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the first chance mode before it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. If not, the result effect is not executed. On the other hand, when it is controlled to the first chance mode before it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery when it is controlled to either the bee time-saving state or the low-probability non-time-saving state , a result effect is executed. For example, after winning a jackpot lottery while being controlled to either the sea time-saving state or the low-probability non-time-saving state, the first chance mode was not controlled before being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. In this case, the result effect is not executed. On the other hand, when it is controlled to the first chance mode before it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after winning the jackpot lottery when it is controlled to either the sea time-saving state or the low-probability non-time-saving state. , a result effect is executed. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the game is controlled to the low-probability short-time state after the big hit, the result performance may be executed. As described above, when the secondary CPU 51 decides to execute the result effect, the result is displayed on the effect display device EH based on the total number of wins, the number of rank points, and the number of winning streaks stored in the secondary RWM 53. carry out the performance. That is, the result effect is executed based on the special information.

The sub CPU 51 does not determine whether or not to execute the result production when it is controlled from the bee time saving state to the low probability non-working time saving state, and does not execute the result production. That is, the sub CPU 51 does not execute the result performance regardless of whether the result performance execution flag is stored in the sub RWM 53 when being controlled from the bee time saving state to the low probability non-time saving state. In this way, after being controlled to the short working hours state, when it is controlled to the short working hours state without winning the jackpot lottery, if it is controlled to the low probability non-short working hours state, the result production is executed. not. In other words, when it is controlled to a short working time state after being controlled to a low probability non-working time state after becoming a big hit, then when it is controlled to the short working time state, it does not become a big hit and is low probability When it is controlled to the non-time-saving state, the result production is not executed. The sub CPU 51 does not determine whether or not to execute the result performance when being controlled from the sea time-saving state to the low-probability non-time-saving state, and does not execute the result performance. That is, the sub CPU 51 does not execute the result performance regardless of whether the result performance execution flag is stored in the sub RWM 53 when being controlled from the sea time saving state to the low probability non-time saving state. In this way, after being controlled to the sea time saving state, when it is controlled to the low time saving state without winning the jackpot lottery while being controlled to the sea time saving state, the result production is executed not. In other words, when it is controlled to the sea time-saving state after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after becoming a big hit, then when it is controlled to the sea time-saving state, it does not become a big hit and is low probability When it is controlled to the non-time-saving state, the result production is not executed.

Here, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery and the subsequent control to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the case where the result production is executed and the case where the result production is not executed will be explained in detail. do.

As above-mentioned, a result production|presentation may be performed when it is controlled by a low probability unreduced working hours state from a 1st low probability reduced working hours state. Specifically, after winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery while being controlled in any of the low-probability non-time-saving state, the bee-time-saving state, and the sea-time-saving state, the first When the chance mode is not controlled, the result performance execution flag is not stored in the sub RWM 53, and the result performance is not executed. On the other hand, the first chance mode before being controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state after winning the jackpot lottery when it is controlled to one of the low probability non-time-saving state, the bee time-saving state, and the sea time-saving state. , the result effect execution flag is stored in the sub RWM 53, and the result effect is executed.

A 1st chance mode is controlled by being controlled by a highly reliable time saving state. That is, the first chance mode is controlled when a big win is won in the big win lottery, and either the big win pattern ZC or the big win pattern Zc is derived in the special game, resulting in the third big win. When winning the big win in the first big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 10%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 40%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the sea time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 40%. In addition, when winning the big win in the second big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the third big win is 10%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 50%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the sea time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 50%. For this reason, if a big hit is won in the jackpot lottery in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, compared to the case of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, It is likely to be the third big hit, and is likely to be controlled to the first chance mode. Therefore, if you win a jackpot lottery when you are in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, the result will be lower than when you win a jackpot lottery when you are in a low-probability non-working time state. Performance is easy to execute.

In addition, when a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the second big win is 20%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the time saving state, the probability of winning the second big win is 40%. If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in the sea time saving state, the probability of winning the second big win is 40%. When winning a big win in the second big win lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, the probability of winning the second big win is 30%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the time saving state, the probability of winning the second big win is 40%. If a big win is won in the second big win lottery in the sea time saving state, the probability of winning the second big win is 40%. For this reason, if a big hit is won in the jackpot lottery in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, compared to the case of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, The second big hit is likely to occur, and the minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low probability short working hours state is likely to increase. As a result, if a big win is won in the jackpot lottery in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, compared to the case of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, The probability of becoming the third big hit is high before being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability non-short-time state, and is easily controlled to the first chance mode. Therefore, if you win a jackpot lottery when you are in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, the result will be lower than when you win a jackpot lottery when you are in a low-probability non-working time state. Performance is easy to execute.

Furthermore, when the first jackpot is achieved in the low-probability non-time-saving state, the minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low-probability short-time state is 100 after the first jackpot game is finished. . On the other hand, if the first jackpot is achieved in either the short working time state or the short working time state, the minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low-probability short working time state after the end of the first jackpot game. is 200 times. For this reason, if a big hit is won in the jackpot lottery in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, compared to the case of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, The minimum guaranteed number of special games that can be executed in the first low probability short working hours state tends to increase. As a result, if a big win is won in the jackpot lottery in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, compared to the case of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability short working hours state, The probability of becoming the third big hit is high before being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability non-short-time state, and is easily controlled to the first chance mode. Therefore, if you win a jackpot lottery when you are in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, the result will be lower than when you win a jackpot lottery when you are in a low-probability non-working time state. Performance is easy to execute.

In addition, when the player is controlled in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, it is recommended to hit to the right, and it is assumed that the second big winning lottery is more likely to be performed than the first big winning lottery. . If a big win is won in the first big win lottery in either the B time saving state or the Sea time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 40%. On the other hand, if a big win is won in the second big win lottery in either the B time saving state or the Sea time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win is 50%. Therefore, if a big win is won in the big win lottery in either the B time saving state or the Sea time saving state, the probability of winning the third big win increases. Therefore, if you win a jackpot lottery when you are in either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, the result will be lower than when you win a jackpot lottery when you are in a low-probability non-working time state. Performance is easy to execute.

As described above, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery while being controlled in the bee time-saving state, and then when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. The result performance is more likely to be executed than when a big win is won in a big win lottery when the player is in the game, and the player is controlled to a low-probability non-time-saving state after that. More specifically, after the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a prescribed number (500 times) and the bee time saving state is controlled, when the bee time saving state is controlled, a big win is won in a jackpot lottery. When it is then, if it is controlled to the low probability unreduced working hours state after that, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has not reached the prescribed number and before it is controlled to the low unreduced working hours state When a big win is won in a big win lottery while being controlled to the state, the result presentation is more likely to be executed than when the state is controlled to the low-probability non-working time-saving state after that.

In addition, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery while being controlled to the sea time-saving state, and when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after that, when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. When a big win is won in a big win lottery, the result presentation is more likely to be executed as compared with the case of being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after that. More specifically, when it is controlled in a low-probability non-time-saving state, a chance pattern is derived in a special game, and after it is controlled in a sea-time-saving state, when it is controlled in the sea-time-saving state, a jackpot lottery wins. , and if it is controlled to a low probability non-working time saving state after that, the chance symbol is not derived in the special game when it is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state Control to the sea time saving state When a big win is won in a jackpot lottery while being controlled to a low-probability non-work-shortening state without being played, the result presentation is more likely to be executed than in the case of being controlled to a low-probability non-working-time-saving state after that. .

On the other hand, when a big win is won in a jackpot lottery while being controlled to the short working hours state, and when it is controlled to the low probability non-shortening working hours state after that, the jackpot lottery is won while being controlled to the short working hours state. When a big hit is won in , the easiness of execution of the result performance is the same as in the case of being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after that. In other words, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery while being controlled to the short working hours state, and if it is controlled to the low-probability short working hours state after that, the big hits are made when the short working hours state is controlled. The probability of execution of the result presentation is the same as that when a jackpot is won in a lottery and then controlled to a low-probability non-working time-saving state.

Next, a case where the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is initialized and updated and a case where it is updated without being initialized will be described.
FIG. 8(a) shows that after the end of the first jackpot game, among the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, the number of times the special game is executed when it is controlled in the low-probability short-time state is the special number of times (50 times). It is a timing chart showing an example when it is controlled to the bee time saving state after exceeding. After the end of the first jackpot game, at time t10, it is controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is 200 times. It should be noted that at time t10, the result effect is executed based on the special information at time t10. After that, each time the special game is executed in the low probability unreduced working hours state, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, and the number of executions of the special game when it is controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state are each 1. It is added. At time t11, with the start of the special game, the number of times the special game is executed when it is controlled in the low-probability short-time state out of the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period is the special number of times (50 times). and the first predetermined condition is satisfied. As a result, at time t11, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is initialized. After that, each time the special game is executed in the low probability unreduced working hours state, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, and the number of executions of the special game when it is controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state are each 1. It is added.

At time t13, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the prescribed number (500 times), and the low-probability short working hours state is controlled to the short working hours state. After that, at time t14, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a big win game is started. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t14 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information has been initialized at time t11, the total acquired number is updated from the initialized total acquired number. Also, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of rank points is updated from the initialized number of rank points. For example, even when the number of winning streak is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of winning streak is updated from the initialized number. At time t11, the result effect execution flag is also initialized. For this reason, if it is not controlled to the first chance mode before being controlled to the low-probability unreduced working hours state, the result performance is not executed when it is controlled to the low-probable unreduced working hours state.

FIG. 8(b) shows that after the end of the second jackpot game, the number of times the special game is executed when the control is performed in a low-probability short-time state out of the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period is the special number of times (50 times). It is a timing chart showing an example when it is controlled to the bee time saving state before exceeding. After the end of the second jackpot game, at time t10, the first low-probability short working hours state is maintained without being controlled from the first low-probable short working hours state to the non-low-probable short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is 200 times. After that, every time a special game is executed in the first low-probability short working hours state, 1 is added to the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period. At time t11, the number of executions of the special game when controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state among the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period does not exceed the special number of times (50 times), and the first predetermined condition is not established. . Therefore, at time t11, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is not initialized. After that, every time a special game is executed in the low-probability short working hours state, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is incremented by one. At the time point t12, it is controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is 490 times. It should be noted that at time t12, the result effect is executed based on the special information at time t12. After that, each time the special game is executed in the low probability unreduced working hours state, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, and the number of executions of the special game when it is controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state are each 1. It is added.

At time t13, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number (500 times), and the low-probability short working hours state is controlled to the short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game under control in the low-probability short-time state does not exceed the special number of times (50 times) among the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period, and the first predetermined condition is not established. After that, at time t14, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a specific condition is established. As a result, at time t14, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is held without being initialized. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t14 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information is held without being initialized at time t14, the total number of acquisitions is cumulatively updated from the total number of acquisitions held without being initialized. Further, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of rank points held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. For example, even when the number of winning streaks is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of winning streaks held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. In addition, since the result production execution flag is not initialized similarly to the special information, even if it is not controlled to the first chance mode by the time it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state. Sometimes a result effect is executed.

FIG. 8(c) shows that after the end of the first jackpot game, among the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, the number of times the special game is executed when it is controlled in the low-probability short-time state is the special number of times (50 times). It is a timing chart showing an example when it is controlled to the bee time saving state before exceeding. After the end of the first jackpot game, at time t10, it is controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is 200 times. It should be noted that at time t10, the result effect is executed based on the special information at time t10. After that, each time the special game is executed in the low probability unreduced working hours state, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, and the number of executions of the special game when it is controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state are each 1. It is added. The number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period is 205 times, and the chance symbol is derived in the special game when the number of executions of the special game is 5 times while being controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state, and is low. It is assumed that it is controlled from the non-working time saving state to the sea working time saving state. At time t11, the number of executions of the special game when controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state among the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period does not exceed the special number of times (50 times), and the first predetermined condition is not established. . Therefore, at time t11, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is not initialized.

After the time t11, it is assumed that the sea time saving state is controlled to the low probability non-working time saving state, and then the sea time saving state is controlled again when the special game is executed five times. Furthermore, after that, after being controlled from the sea time saving state to the low probability non-working time saving state, it is again controlled to the sea time saving state when the special game is executed 10 times. And at the time t12, it is controlled from the sea short working hours state to the low probability non-short working hours state. After that, each time the special game is executed in the low probability unreduced working hours state, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, and the number of executions of the special game when it is controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state are each 1. It is added.

At time t13, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the prescribed number (500 times), and the low-probability short working hours state is controlled to the short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game under control in the low-probability short-time state does not exceed the special number of times (50 times) among the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period, and the first predetermined condition is not established. After that, at time t14, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a specific condition is established. As a result, at time t14, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is held without being initialized. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t14 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information is held without being initialized at time t14, the total number of acquisitions is cumulatively updated from the total number of acquisitions held without being initialized. Further, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of rank points held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. For example, even when the number of winning streak is updated after the jackpot game started at time t14 is finished, the number of winning streak held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. In addition, since the result production execution flag is not initialized similarly to the special information, even if it is not controlled to the first chance mode by the time it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state. Sometimes a result effect is executed.

As described above, after the end of the jackpot game, out of the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period, the number of times the special game is executed when it is controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times before the bee time-saving state When the special information is updated after a big win while being controlled to the bee time saving state, the initialized special information is updated. In other words, after the big hit and after being controlled to the low probability non-time saving state, the number of times of execution of the special game when being controlled to the low probability non-time saving state exceeds the special number and then the bee time saving state When the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled to the B time saving state, the special information is updated from the initialized special information. On the other hand, after the end of the jackpot game, among the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period, when the number of executions of the special game is controlled to the low-probability short-time state, the number of executions of the special game is controlled to the short-time state before exceeding the special number of times. In this case, after that, when the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled in the time-saving state, the special information held without being initialized can be updated. In other words, after the big hit and after being controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state, before the number of times of execution of the special game when being controlled in the low probability unreduced working hours state exceeds the special number of times When the special information is updated after a big win under the control to the B time saving state, the special information held without being initialized is updated.

In FIG. 9(a), after the first jackpot game is over, after being controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probable short working hours state, the number of executions of the special game in the low-probable short working hours state is a special number of times (15 time) is a timing chart showing an example when it is controlled to the sea time saving state after exceeding. After the end of the first jackpot game, at time t20, it is controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game after the end of the first jackpot game is 200 times. It should be noted that at time t20, the result effect is executed based on the special information at time t20. After that, every time a special game is executed in the low-probability unreduced working hours state, 1 is added to the number of executions of the special games executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state. At the time point t22, with the start of the special game, the number of executions of the special game in the low probability unreduced working hours state is the special number of times (15 times) without being controlled to a game state different from the low probability unreduced working hours state. exceeds, and the second predetermined condition is established. As a result, at time t22, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is initialized. After that, every time a special game is executed in the low-probability unreduced working hours state, 1 is added to the number of executions of the special games executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state.

At time t23, a chance symbol is derived in the special game when the number of executions of the special game executed without being controlled in a gaming state different from the low probability non-reduction of working hours state is 17 times, and a scene is drawn from the low probability non-reduction of working hours state. Assume that it is controlled in a time saving state. After that, at time t24, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a big win game is started. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t24 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information has been initialized at time t22, the total acquired number is updated from the initialized total acquired number. Further, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t24 is finished, the number of rank points is updated from the initialized number of rank points. For example, even when the number of winning streak is updated after the jackpot game started at time t24 is finished, the number of winning streak is updated from the initialized number. At time t22, the result effect execution flag is also initialized. For this reason, unless it is controlled to the first chance mode before being controlled to the low probability unreduced working hours state, the result performance is not executed when it is controlled to the low probability unreduced working hours state.

In FIG. 9B, after the first big hit game is over, after being controlled from the first low-probability short working hours state to the low-probable short working hours state, the number of executions of the special game in the low-probable short working hours state is a special number of times (15 time) is a timing chart showing an example when it is controlled to the sea time saving state before exceeding. After the end of the first jackpot game, at time t20, it is controlled from the first low probability short working hours state to the low probability non short working hours state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game after the end of the first jackpot game is 200 times. It should be noted that at time t20, the result effect is executed based on the special information at time t20. Thereafter, every time a special game is executed in the low-probability unreduced working hours state, 1 is added to the number of executions of the special games executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state.

At time t21, a chance symbol is derived in the special game when the number of executions of the special game executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low probability non-reduction of working hours state is three times, and a scene is drawn from the low probability non-reduction of working hours state. Assume that it is controlled in a time saving state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game in the low-probability unreduced working hours state does not exceed the special number of times (15 times) without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state, and the second predetermined condition is not established. After that, at time t24, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a specific condition is established. As a result, at time t24, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is held without being initialized. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t24 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information is held without being initialized at time t24, the total number of acquisitions is cumulatively updated from the total number of acquisitions held without being initialized. Further, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t24 is finished, the number of rank points held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. For example, even when the winning streak is updated after the jackpot game started at time t24 is finished, the winning streak is cumulatively updated from the held uninitialized winning streak. In addition, since the result production execution flag is not initialized similarly to the special information, even if it is not controlled to the first chance mode by the time it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state. Sometimes a result effect is executed.

FIG. 10 is not controlled to a game state different from the low probability non-reduction of working hours state, and when the number of executions of the special game in the low probability non-reduction of working hours state exceeds the special number of times (15 times) When controlled to the reduced working hours state 4 is a timing chart showing an example of . In addition, in FIG. 10, it is assumed that the predetermined condition is not established and the special information is not initialized from after the end of the jackpot game to time t30. At time t30, it is controlled from the sea short working hours state to the low probability non-short working hours state. At time t30, the result effect is not executed based on the special information at time t30. After that, every time a special game is executed in the low-probability unreduced working hours state, 1 is added to the number of executions of the special games executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state.

At time t31, a chance symbol is derived in the special game when the number of executions of the special game executed without being controlled in a gaming state different from the low-probability short working hours state is 3 times, and a scene is drawn from the low-probable short working hours state. Assume that it is controlled in a time saving state. At this time, the number of executions of the special game in the low-probability unreduced working hours state does not exceed the special number of times (15 times) without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability unreduced working hours state, and the second predetermined condition is not established. After that, at time t32, a big win is won in a big win lottery, and a specific condition is established. As a result, at time t32, the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 is held without being initialized. Then, when the jackpot game started at time t32 ends, the total acquisition number, which is an example of the special information, is updated. At this time, since the special information is held without being initialized at time t32, the total number of acquisitions is cumulatively updated from the total number of acquisitions held without being initialized. Further, for example, even when the number of rank points is updated after the jackpot game started at time t32 is finished, the number of rank points held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. For example, even when the number of winning streaks is updated after the jackpot game started at time t32 is finished, the number of winning streaks held without being initialized is cumulatively updated. In addition, since the result production execution flag is not initialized similarly to the special information, even if it is not controlled to the first chance mode by the time it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state. Sometimes a result effect is executed.

As described above, after being a big hit and after being controlled to a low probability non-time saving state, after the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the low probability non-time saving state exceeds the special number of times, the sea time saving When the special information is updated after being controlled to the state and then after a big hit while being controlled to the corresponding see time saving state, the special information is updated from the initialized special information. On the other hand, after the big hit and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, before the number of special games executed after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times, the sea time-saving state is controlled. After that, when the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled to the sea time saving state, the special information held without being initialized is updated. Further, after the end of the jackpot game and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, it is executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability non-time-saving state while being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. If the special game is controlled to the short time state after the number of special games has exceeded the special number of times, and after that, when the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled to the short time state, initialization is performed. updated from special information provided. On the other hand, after the end of the jackpot game and after being controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state, it is executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low probability non-time-saving state while being controlled to the low probability non-time-saving state. If the special game is controlled to the short time state before the number of special games exceeds the special number, after that, when the special information is updated after the big hit while being controlled to the short time state, the initialization updated from special information held without

Effects of the embodiment will be described.
(1) If a big hit is achieved in the short time state after being controlled to the short time state, the result production is higher than that in the case of a big hit in the low-probability short time state before being controlled to the short time state. is easy to execute. That is, the result performance is more likely to be achieved after the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period reaches the specified number than when the big win is achieved before the number of times the special game is executed within the specified period reaches the specified number. is easy to execute. As a result, in the present embodiment, the rarity and special feeling of the result presentation can be enhanced, and the execution of the result presentation can be improved in interest. If a player does not win a big win in a big win lottery, there is a possibility that the player loses interest. Even in such a case, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to heighten the expectation that the result production will be executed under the control to the time-saving state, and the interest in not winning the big win in the big win lottery will increase. Decrease can be suppressed. Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to make the user aware of the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period. In particular, when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is less than the specified number of times, it is possible to make the player more aware of the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period, thereby improving interest. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the be-time-saving state is controlled, it is possible to further heighten the expectation of winning a jackpot in the jackpot lottery, and to improve interest.

(2) When it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state without being a big hit while being controlled to the bee-time-saving state, the result production is not executed. In this way, the result performance is not executed until the big hit is reached even when the low-probability short-time state is controlled. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rarity and special feeling of the result effect can be further enhanced, and the interest in the execution of the result effect can be improved. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to further increase the expectation of being controlled to the short time state and to win a big hit after being controlled to the short time state, and to improve the interest.

(3) After winning the jackpot, if the first chance mode is not controlled before being controlled to the low-probability short-time state, the result production is not executed, until it is controlled to the low-probability short-time state. When the first chance mode is set to the first chance mode, a result effect is executed. That is, the first chance mode is more likely to be a big hit after the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times and the bee time-saving state is controlled, rather than a big win in the low-probability non-time-saving state. easy to control. For this reason, after winning the jackpot, attention can be increased for the performance mode controlled before being controlled to the low-probability short-time state, and interest can be improved. Then, when a big hit is achieved in the be-time-saving state, it is possible to raise the expectation of being controlled to the first chance mode before being controlled to the fixed-non-time-saving state, and to improve the amusement. .

(4) When the jackpot is won in the sea time-saving state, the result performance is more likely to be executed than when the jackpot is won in the low-probability non-time-saving state. That is, when it is controlled to a low probability non-time-saving state, it is controlled to a low probability non-time-saving state rather than a big hit when a chance symbol is not derived in a special game and is controlled to a low probability non-time-saving state. The result production is more likely to be executed when the big win is achieved after the chance symbols are derived in the special game when the special game is being played. As a result, in the present embodiment, the rarity and special feeling of the result presentation can be enhanced, and the execution of the result presentation can be improved in interest. If a player does not win a big win in a big win lottery, there is a possibility that the player loses interest. According to the present embodiment, even if the big win pattern is not derived, it is possible to increase the expectation for the fact that the chance pattern is derived and the result performance is executed, and the interest in not winning the big win in the big win lottery is heightened. Decrease can be suppressed. Further, in the present embodiment, chance symbols may be derived even if no jackpot symbols are derived in the special game. Therefore, it is possible to easily draw attention to the result derived in the special game, thereby further improving interest. can be achieved. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when controlled to the short working time state, it is possible to further heighten the expectation of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery, and to improve the amusement.

(5) When being controlled in a low-probability non-time-saving state, the probability of being controlled to the sea-time-saving state is lower than the probability of being controlled to the sea-time-saving state and the probability of not being controlled to the sea-time-saving state. And the value of the denominator when the unit fraction is the probability that the chance symbol is derived in the special game when it is controlled in the low-probability non-time-saving state is a special that can be executed when it is controlled in the sea-time-saving state It is large compared to the value of the number of games played. That is, when it is controlled in a low probability non-time-saving state, the frequency of winning a jackpot lottery after being controlled in the sea time-saving state is not controlled in the sea time-saving state, but in the low probability non-time-saving state. It tends to be less than the frequency of winning the jackpot. Therefore, the rarity and special feeling of the result performance, which is likely to be executed by winning the jackpot lottery while being controlled in the sea time saving state, are increased, and the execution of the result performance is more interesting. can be improved.

(6) When the jackpot is won in the B time saving state, the likelihood of execution of the result production is the same as in the case of the big win in the C time saving state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when controlled to either the short working hours state or the short working hours state, it is possible to increase the expectation of winning a big hit in the jackpot lottery, and to improve the interest. . Since the B time saving state and the C time saving state have different conditions to be controlled, it is possible to diversify the relationship in which the result presentation is executed, and to further improve the interest.

(7) The result effect is executed based on the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53. The special information is then updated based on the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Therefore, since it is possible to execute a wide variety of result effects by updating the special information until it is controlled to the low probability non-time saving state after the big hit, the result effect is executed. It is possible to improve interest in things. After the end of the jackpot game, the special information is controlled to the short time state after the number of times the special game is executed exceeds the special number of times when the special game is executed in the low probability non-time saving state within a predetermined period. When the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled in the bee time saving state, the initialized special information is updated. After the end of the jackpot game, the special information is controlled to the short time state before the number of times the special game is executed exceeds the special number of times when the special game is executed in the low probability non-short time state within a predetermined period. After that, when it is updated after a big hit while being controlled in the bee time saving state, the special information held without being initialized is updated. Thereby, in the present embodiment, even if it is controlled to the low probability untime saving state after the end of the jackpot game, since there is a case where the special information is held without being initialized, the updated special information can be taken over. Further, it is possible to update the special information based on the inherited special information, thereby enhancing the special feeling of the executed result production and enhancing the interest in the execution of the result production. be able to. In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to attract attention to the number of executions of the special game from being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after the end of the jackpot game to being controlled to the bee-time-saving state, thereby further improving interest. can be done. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to further heighten expectations for a big hit when the bee time saving state is being controlled, and to improve interest.

(8) Special information is updated on the condition that it is controlled to at least the first chance mode. That is, when the first chance mode is controlled until the low-probability short-time control state after the big hit, the special information can be updated based on the special information stored in the secondary RWM 53 . Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of interest in the performance mode controlled from the time of the big hit to the time when it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, and to improve the amusement.

(9) The special information is the time saving after the number of special games executed without being controlled in a game state different from the low probability non-working time saving state exceeds the special number of times. When the special information is updated after being controlled to the state and then after a big hit while being controlled to the corresponding see time saving state, the special information is updated from the initialized special information. On the other hand, while being controlled in the low-probability non-working time-saving state, the number of special games executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low-probability non-working-time-saving state exceeded the special number of times. In that case, after that, when the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled in the sea time saving state, the special information held without being initialized is updated. As a result, in the present embodiment, even if it is controlled to a low-probability short-time state, the special information may be held without being initialized, so it is possible to take over the updated special information. be. In particular, when it is controlled to a low probability non-working time saving state, it is controlled to a short working time state before the number of special games executed without being controlled to a game state different from the low probability non-working time saving state exceeds the special number of times In the case, even if it is controlled from the sea time saving state to the low probability non-working time saving state, it is configured to be able to hold the special information. That is, in the present embodiment, the special information can be held unless the number of times the special game is continuously executed in the low-probability short working hours state exceeds the special number of times. Further, it is possible to update the special information based on the inherited special information, thereby enhancing the special feeling of the executed result production and enhancing the interest in the execution of the result production. be able to. In addition, in the present embodiment, before the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the low-probability short-time state exceeds the special number of times, it is possible to make it easier to draw attention to whether the chance symbol is derived, and it is more interesting. can be improved. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to heighten the expectation of winning a big hit when being controlled to the short working time state, and to improve the amusement.

(10) In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute a wide variety of result effects by updating the result information after the big hit and before being controlled to the low probability non-time saving state. , it is possible to improve interest in execution of the result presentation. In the present embodiment, after the big hit and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, before the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times, the time-saving It is configured to be able to hold special information when controlled by the state. Thereby, even if it is controlled by the low probability untime saving state, since special information may be hold|maintained without being initialized, it is possible to take over the updated special information. Further, it is possible to update the special information based on the inherited special information, thereby enhancing the special feeling of the executed result production and enhancing the interest in the execution of the result production. be able to. In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to improve interest in the number of executions of the special game after the big hit and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state. It is possible to make it easy to draw attention to whether a chance pattern is derived after the jackpot is achieved and after being controlled in a low-probability non-time-saving state until a special game of a special number of times is executed, thereby improving interest. can be achieved. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to further heighten the expectation of winning a big hit when being controlled to the short working time state, and to improve interest.

(11) The special information includes information about big wins. When the information on the big win is updated, it is cumulatively updated based on the information on the big win stored in the secondary RWM 53 . That is, the information about the big win is constructed so that the information is added each time it is updated. Therefore, as the number of times that the information about the big hit is updated after the big hit is controlled to the low-probability short-time state, the rarity of the result production to be executed tends to increase, and the result production is performed. It is possible to increase interest in what is being done. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is possible to take over the information about the jackpot updated before being controlled to the low probability non-time saving state, and it is possible to add information about the jackpot based on the information about the inherited jackpot Therefore, it is possible to further increase the rarity and special feeling of the result production to be executed, and to improve the interest in the execution of the result production.

(12) When it is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state without being a big hit when being controlled to the sea time-saving state, the result production is not executed. In this way, the result performance is not executed until the big hit is reached even when the low-probability short-time state is controlled. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rarity and special feeling of the result effect can be further enhanced, and the interest in the execution of the result effect can be improved. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state is controlled to the sea time-saving state before exceeding the special number of times, and the big hit after being controlled to the sea time-saving state It is possible to heighten the sense of expectation about becoming, and to improve the interest.

(13) The game state when the first chance mode is controlled is a game state more advantageous than the game state when the second chance mode is controlled. Therefore, in addition to being controlled to an advantageous game state, a result effect is executed, so that the interest can be improved. Furthermore, since the special information is also updated by being controlled to the first chance mode, it is possible to further improve interest.

(14) The probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the time saving state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the low probability non-time saving state. Therefore, it is possible to heighten expectations for a big win in a big win lottery after being controlled from a low-probability short-time state to a short-time state, and to improve interest. The probability of winning a big win in a big win lottery under control in a short working time state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in a big winning lottery under control in a low probability non-reducing working time state. Therefore, it is possible to heighten the expectation for a big win in the big win lottery after being controlled from the low-probability non-working time-saving state to the sea time-saving state, and to improve the amusement.

(15) The probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery under control in the short working time state is the same as the probability of winning a big win in the big winning lottery under control in the short working time state. However, the predetermined number of times, which is the number of executions of a special game that can be executed in the short time state after being controlled in the short time state, is the number of executions of special games that can be executed in the short time state after being controlled in the short time state. is more than the specific number of times. Therefore, the probability of winning a big hit when controlled to the short time state after being controlled to the short time state becomes a big hit when being controlled to the short time state after being controlled to the short time state. higher than the probability. Therefore, when the bee is controlled to shorten the working hours, it is possible to heighten the sense of anticipation for the performance of the big hit and the execution of the result performance, and to improve the interest.

(16) The probability of deriving the chance symbol in the special game is higher than the probability of deriving the big win symbol in the special game. Therefore, even if the player does not win a big win in the big win lottery, it is possible to increase the expectation for the derivation of the chance symbol. Therefore, it is possible to heighten expectations for a big hit by being controlled to the sea time-saving state, and to improve interest.

(17) In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the jackpot symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc by the jackpot symbol lottery differs according to the gaming state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to heighten the sense of anticipation for the transition of the game state, and to improve the interest. Then, it is possible to make it easier to attract the player's attention to the effect mode corresponding to the game state, thereby improving interest.

(18) If a big win is won in a big win lottery while being controlled in the short working time state and the short working time state, the third big win is likely to occur. When the third jackpot game ends, the game is controlled to a high-probability time-saving state, the number of winning streaks, which is an example of special information, is updated, and a result performance execution flag is set. For this reason, it is possible to heighten the sense of anticipation and improve interest in being controlled in the be-time-saving state and the sea-time-saving state.

(19) In the present embodiment, 490 special games can be executed in the first low-probability time-saving state after the second jackpot game is finished, even if the jackpot does not occur. Even if a big hit is not achieved in the first low-probability short working-time state, control is possible to the bee short-time state after 10 rotations after the end of the first low-probable short working-time state. At this time, the special information is not initialized and can be maintained. For this reason, even if it becomes a situation where interest is reduced by being controlled from the first low-probability non-time-saving state to the low-probability non-time-saving state, it is immediately controlled to the bee time-saving state, so that the decline of interest is suppressed. can be done. Further, since the special information can be maintained without being initialized, it is possible to improve interest in the execution of the result presentation.

(20) When the result effect is executed, the effect display device EH displays the character string Rs1 indicating the number of "win streak", the character string Rs2 indicating the number of "acquisition", and the rank of the "rank". A character string Rs3 and a character Ca imitating "samurai" are displayed. The character strings Rs1 to Rs3 are displayed based on different information. Therefore, by executing the result effect, the player can obtain a plurality of pieces of information, and can enhance the enjoyment of the execution of the result effect. On the other hand, since the character Ca is commonly displayed, the display of the character Ca can make it easier for players to understand that it is a result effect. As a result, for example, when the result effect is executed, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused that the result effect is being performed, thereby reducing the player's interest.

The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.
When a chance symbol is derived in a special game while being controlled in the sea time saving state, the main CPU 42 may update the number of times of time saving. For example, when the number of times of time saving is 20 times and a chance symbol is derived in a special game while being controlled in the sea time saving state, the main CPU 42 may update the number of times of time saving to 90 times. That is, the main CPU 42 may update the number of times of time saving to a specific number of times (90 times) each time a chance symbol is derived in a special game while being controlled in the short time state. On the other hand, when a chance symbol is derived in a special game while being controlled in the bee time saving state, the main CPU 42 does not need to update the number of times of time saving.

・There may be two or more types of chance symbols. In this case, the main CPU 42 may determine whether or not the chance lottery is won in the chance lottery, and may decide which chance symbol to use. Also, the main CPU 42 may determine which chance symbol to use in a process different from the chance lottery after winning the chance lottery. Then, when the main CPU 42 controls to the sea time saving state based on the fact that the chance symbols are derived in the special game, the main CPU 42 may vary the number of times of time saving according to the type of the derived chance symbols. For example, the chance symbols may include a first chance symbol and a second chance symbol. When the first chance symbol is derived in the special game in the low-probability non-time-saving state, the main CPU 42 may cause the main RWM 44 to store 30 times as the initial number of time-saving times. On the other hand, when the second chance symbol is derived in the special game in the low-probability short-time state, the main CPU 42 may store 90 times in the main RWM 44 as the initial number of times of time-saving. In addition, the type of the sea time saving state may be changed according to the type of chance symbol derived in the special game. For example, it is configured to be controllable to a plurality of types of sea time reduction states with different ball entry rates of game balls into the second starting port 16 per unit time, and the sea time reduction state is controlled according to the type of the chance pattern derived in the special game. Different types of states may be used.

・The first predetermined condition is when, after the first jackpot game is over, the jackpot is not won in the jackpot lottery, and after being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability short-time state, the state is controlled to the short-time bee state. may be established at On the other hand, the first predetermined condition is that after the second big win game is over, the big win is not won in the big win lottery, and after being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability short-time state, the state is controlled to the short-time bee state. Sometimes it may not hold. In a gaming machine which does not have a chance lottery and does not derive a chance pattern in a special game, the first predetermined condition is to change from a first low-probability time-saving state to a low-probability state without winning a big win in a big-win lottery after the end of a first big-win game. You may make it materialize when it is controlled by non-time-saving state. On the other hand, the first predetermined condition may not be established when the first low-probability time-saving state is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state without winning the big win in the big-hit lottery after the end of the second big win game. . That is, when a big win is won in the big win lottery, either the big win pattern ZA or the big win pattern Za is derived in the special game, and then the big win is not won in the big win lottery, and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the bee. When the special information is updated after winning a jackpot lottery while being controlled to the time-saving state after being controlled to the time-saving state, the initialized special information is updated. may In other words, after being controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state after the end of the jackpot game, the first number of special games are executed while being controlled to the first low-probability time-saving state. If it is controlled to the be state after being controlled to the be state, after that, when the special information is updated after winning the jackpot lottery while being controlled to the be time saving state, the initialized special information May be updated. On the other hand, when a big win is won in the big win lottery, either the big win pattern ZB or the big win pattern Zb is derived in the special game, and then the big win is not won in the big win lottery, and after being controlled to a low-probability non-time-saving state, the bee When the special information is updated after winning the jackpot lottery while being controlled in the short working hours state, the special information held without being initialized is updated. It may be possible. After being controlled to the first low-probability short working hours state after the end of the jackpot game, the second number of special games are executed while being controlled to the first low-probable short working hours state, and the state is controlled to the low-probable non-shortening working hours state. When the special information is later controlled to the short working hours state and after that, when the special information is updated after winning the jackpot lottery while being controlled to the short working hours state, the special information is held without being initialized. may be updatable from

・The first predetermined condition is when, after the second jackpot game is over, the jackpot is not won in the jackpot lottery, and after being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability short-time state, the state is controlled to the short-time bee state. may be established at On the other hand, the first predetermined condition is that after the first big win game is over, the big win is not won in the big win lottery, and after being controlled from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability short-time state, the state is controlled to the short-time bee state. Sometimes it may not hold. In a gaming machine which does not have a chance lottery and does not derive a chance pattern in a special game, the first predetermined condition is to change from a first low-probability time-saving state to a low-probability state without winning a big win in a big-win lottery after a second big-win game is finished. You may make it materialize when it is controlled by non-time-saving state. On the other hand, the first predetermined condition may not be established when the first low-probability time-saving state is controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state without winning the big win in the big-hit lottery after the end of the first big win game. .

When a chance symbol is derived in a special game, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may execute an effect (hereinafter referred to as a chance effect) for notifying that the chance symbol has been derived on the effect display device EH. The sub CPU 51 may control the effect display device EH so as to execute a chance effect when a special symbol command capable of specifying a chance symbol is input while being controlled in the low-probability/non-time-saving state. The secondary CPU 51 may count the number of times the special game is executed in the low-probability short working hours state by inputting the variation start command after being controlled from the first low-probable short working hours state to the low-probable short working hours state. Then, after the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the low-probability unreduced working hours state after the big hit, the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the low-probable unreduced working hours state is the special number of times (15 times). The effect display device EH may be controlled so as to execute the first chance effect when the chance symbol is derived in the special game after exceeding. On the other hand, after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state after the big hit, in the special game before the number of special games executed after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times (15 times) The effect display device EH may be controlled so as to execute the second chance effect when the chance symbol is derived. The first chance effect may be a different effect from the second chance effect. That is, after the big hit and after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state, the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times, and then the chance symbol in the special game The effect that is executed when is derived is that after being controlled to a low-probability non-time-saving state after a big hit, the number of times the special game is executed after being controlled to the low-probability non-time-saving state is a special number of times. It may be different from the effect executed when the chance symbol is derived in the special game before exceeding.

- The sub CPU 51 may initialize the result production execution flag when the result production is executed when the control is performed from the first low-probability short-time state to the low-probability non-shorter working-time state. Thereby, for example, even if it is updated in a state in which the special information is held without being initialized after being controlled in a low probability untime saving state, if it is not controlled in the first chance mode, the first low probability time saving The result production is not executed when it is controlled from the state to the low-probability short-time state.

- The result effect may be configured to be executed in part or all of the effect display device EH, decorative lamp LA, and speaker SP.
- The chance lottery does not have to be executed in the process of executing the second special game in the special symbol start process. The chance lottery may be executed only in the process of executing the first special game in the special symbol start process. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured such that chance symbols can be derived in the first special game, but chance symbols cannot be derived in the second special game.

- The chance lottery may not be executed in the process of executing the first special game in the special symbol start process. The chance lottery may be executed only in the process of executing the second special game in the special symbol start process. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured such that chance symbols can be derived in the second special game, but chance symbols cannot be derived in the first special game.

- The above-described embodiment may be applied to a pachinko machine that performs a small winning lottery in addition to the big winning lottery. In general, when a small win is won in a small win lottery, a small win symbol is fixed and displayed in a special game, and a small win game is awarded after the special game is finished. The gaming machine of the embodiment is, for example, the number of times (frequency) that a small hit is won per unit time, or the number of times (frequency) that a small hit game is given per unit time, compared to the low probability non-time saving state It may be embodied in a pachinko game machine that can be controlled in a state where the is improved (so-called small hit RUSH). In a pachinko game machine capable of performing a small winning lottery in addition to a big winning lottery, both the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery can be regarded as winning lotteries, and both the big winning game and the small winning game can be regarded as winning games. . In this case, the small winning symbols and the losing symbols correspond to the result derived in the special game when the big winning lottery does not win the big winning. In addition, in a pachinko machine capable of carrying out a small winning lottery in addition to a big winning lottery, only the big winning lottery wins out of the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery, and only the big winning game out of the big winning games and small winning games. Each can be treated as a game. In this case, the small winning symbols and losing symbols correspond to the result derived in the special game when the winning lottery does not win. In addition, in a pachinko game machine that performs a small-hit lottery, there may be a plurality of types of small-hit symbols. Then, the type of the small winning game may be changed according to the type of the small winning symbol that is determined and stopped and displayed in the special game. For example, when the types of small winning games are different, the opening modes of the big winning openings in the small winning games may be varied. In addition, the big winning opening opened in the big winning game and the big winning opening opened in the small winning game may be the same or different. In addition, the controllable period in the short working time state may be determined by the number of times the small winning lottery is won or the number of times the small winning game is awarded. For example, the be time saving state may be configured to end when two small winning games are given after being controlled to the be time saving state. Similarly, the controllable period in the sea time saving state may be determined by the number of times the small winning lottery is won or the number of times the small winning game is given. For example, the sea time saving state may be configured to end when two small winning games are provided after being controlled to the sea time saving state. In addition, although two times were illustrated here as the number of times that the small winning game was given, it may be one time, or may be three times or more.

- The pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment may be embodied in a gaming machine that gives a jackpot game when the game ball passes through the special area. For example, the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment provides a jackpot game based on winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery and a jackpot game based on the game ball passing through a special area (so-called one type It may be embodied in a two-kind mixer). This special area is provided, for example, in a big winning opening that is opened based on winning a small winning lottery in a small winning lottery triggered by a ball entering the second starting opening 16 in the above embodiment. This big winning hole may be the same as the big winning hole 18 opened in the big winning game, or may be a big winning hole different from the big winning hole 18 . Even if the game ball enters the big winning hole opened based on the winning of the small winning, the big winning game is not provided when the game ball does not pass through the special area. The 1-type 2-type mixing machine is a pachinko game machine capable of performing a small winning lottery in addition to the big winning lottery described above. In addition, in the type 1 type 2 type mixing machine, even if a big win lottery wins a big win game with the ball entering the first start port 15 as a trigger and a big win game is given, the big win wins the big win lottery. When the time is in the time-saving state, it is more advantageous after the big win game is finished than when the big win is won in the big win lottery in the non-time-saving state. In the 1 type 2 type mixed machine, after the big hit and after being controlled in the non-time-saving state, the number of times the special game is executed after being controlled in the non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times, and then it is in the time-saving state. When the special information is updated after a big hit while being controlled to the time-saving state after that, the initialized special information may be updated. On the other hand, in the one-type and two-type mixed machine, after being controlled to the non-time-saving state after the big hit, before the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the non-time-saving state exceeds the special number of times, the time-saving When the special information is updated after a big win under control in the time-saving state after being controlled to the state, the special information held without being initialized may be updated.

・As a pachinko machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state, a specification that controls to a variable probability state until the fall lottery is won (a falling machine) or a specification that controls to a variable probability state until the special game for a predetermined number of times is completed (ST machine).
