An upper tray 17 for storing balls projects forward from the front frame 14 and is formed in a substantially box-like shape with an open upper surface. The bottom surface of the upper tray 17 is inclined downward to the right when viewed from the front (see FIG. 1). A frame button 22 is provided on the left side of the upper surface of the upper plate 17 when viewed from the front.

The frame button 22 is a button that is pressed by the player, for example, when changing the stage of the effect displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2), which will be described later. In addition, the frame button 22 is also used as an operation button for allowing the player to select the content of the so-called super ready-to-win effect, which is one aspect of the variable effect.

The variable effect is a effect displayed on the third symbol display device 81, and as will be described later, the ball fired to the front area of the game board 13 is a specific winning hole (second starting hole 64b to be described later. 2.) is triggered by entering the ball (starting winning), and after the symbol (the third symbol described later) is variably displayed for a predetermined time, the combination of the symbols stopped and displayed determines the starting winning. This is an effect for presenting the player with the result of the lottery (whether it is a big hit or not).

A stage is a performance mode in which various performances displayed on the third pattern display device 81 are unified. One stage is provided. Various effects, such as the variable effects described above and the ready-to-win effects executed during the variable effects, are designed to be performed according to the themes given to each stage.

The stage is changed when the player presses the frame button 22 during a period in which the variable effect is not performed or during a high-speed change in which the third symbol is displayed in a high-speed change invisible to the player. Each time the frame button 22 is operated, the stage is repeatedly changed in the order of "town stage"→"empty stage"→"island stage"→"town stage"→ . In addition, immediately after the power is turned on, the initial stage is set to "town stage".

Further, when the normal ready-to-win effect is started in the variable effect performed by the third pattern display device 81, when the normal ready-to-win is developed into the super ready-to-win, the selection screen of the super ready-to-win` effect mode during the normal ready-to-win is displayed as the third pattern. It is configured to be displayed on the display device 81 .

On the selection screen, a plurality of effect mode candidates that can be selected as the super ready-to-win effect mode are displayed, and one of the effect mode candidates is selected. When the frame button 22 is pressed by the player while the selection screen is displayed, the selected effect mode candidate is changed. Then, the performance mode of super ready-to-win is determined based on the performance mode candidate selected when developing to super ready-to-win, and super ready-to-win is executed by the third pattern display device 81 according to the performance mode.

In the present embodiment, the frame button 22 is configured as a button to be pressed. , rearward, rightward and leftward). Then, based on the direction in which the control lever is tilted, the selection of the production stage may be changed, or the super ready-to-win production mode may be selected.

Light-emitting means such as various lamps are provided around the front frame 14 (for example, corner portions). These light emitting means are controlled to change the light emitting mode by lighting or blinking in response to changes in the game state such as when a big win is made or when a predetermined ready-to-win state is reached, and play a role of enhancing the effect during the game. Illuminated portions 29 to 33 containing light emitting means such as LEDs are provided on the periphery of the window portion 14c. In the pachinko machine 10, these electric decoration parts 29 to 33 function as production lamps such as big win lamps, and the respective electric decoration parts 29 to 33 are lit by lighting or blinking of built-in LEDs at the time of a big win or a ready-to-win production. Alternatively, it flashes to indicate that the jackpot is in progress or that the player is in the process of reaching one step before the jackpot. In addition, a display lamp 34 having a built-in light emitting means such as an LED or the like and capable of displaying when a prize ball is being paid out or when an error occurs is provided in the upper left portion of the front frame 14 when viewed from the front.

A small window 35 is formed by attaching a transparent resin from the back side so that the back side of the front frame 14 can be visually recognized on the lower side of the right electric decoration part 32, and a pasting space K1 (see FIG. ) is visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, in order to bring out more splendor, a plated member 36 made of ABS resin, which is plated with chrome, is attached to the area around the electric decorations 29-33.

A ball rental operation unit 40 is arranged below the window portion 14c. The ball rental operation unit 40 is provided with a frequency display unit 41 , a ball rental button 42 and a return button 43 . When the ball lending operation unit 40 is operated with banknotes, cards, etc. inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, the balls are released according to the operation. Lending is done. Specifically, the frequency display section 41 is an area in which the balance information of the card or the like is displayed, and the built-in LED is turned on to display the remaining amount in numbers as the balance information. The ball lending button 42 is operated to obtain lending balls based on information recorded on a card or the like (recording medium), and lending balls are supplied to the top tray 17 as long as the card or the like has a balance. be done. The return button 43 is operated when requesting the return of the card or the like inserted in the card unit.

A pachinko machine in which balls are directly lent to the upper tray 17 from a ball leasing device or the like without going through the card unit, that is, a so-called cash machine, does not require the ball leasing operation unit 40.

Between the lower right tip of the inner rail 61 and the upper right tip of the outer rail 62, a resin-made arc member 70 is formed by providing an arc connecting the rails on the inner surface side. It is fixed by driving it into the plate 60 .

A first pattern provided with a plurality of light emitting diodes (hereinafter abbreviated as "LED") 37a and a 7-segment display 37b, which are light emitting means, on the upper right side of the game area when viewed from the front (upper right side in FIG. 2). A display device 37 is provided. The first symbol display device 37 provides display corresponding to each control performed by the main control device 110, which will be described later, and mainly displays the game state of the pachinko machine 10. FIG.

The plurality of LEDs 37a indicate, by the lighting state of the LEDs 37a, the variable display performed when the ball enters (start winning) into either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b, or the variable display. As a stop pattern after the end, a pattern corresponding to the result of the lottery performed for the start winning prize is indicated by the lighting state, or a variation among the balls entered in the first start opening 64a or the second start opening 64b. The lighting state indicates the number of held balls, which is the number of balls that have not been executed (held balls). The 7-segment display 37b displays the number of rounds during the jackpot and an error display. The LEDs 37a are configured to emit different colors (for example, red, green, and blue), and various game states of the pachinko machine 10 can be suggested with a small number of LEDs by combining the emitted colors.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, whether or not a ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b is a big win or not is determined (big win lottery), and if it is determined to be a big win, the type of the big win. is also determined. As the jackpot type determined here, a 15R probability variable jackpot, a 2R probability variable jackpot, and a 15R normal jackpot are prepared.

The LED 37a not only indicates whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot as a stop symbol after the end of the variation executed with the ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b. In the case of a jackpot, a pattern corresponding to the jackpot type is displayed.

Here, the “15R probability variable jackpot” is a probability variable jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the “2R probability variable jackpot” is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 2 rounds. It is a variable jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after . In addition, "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot that shifts to a low probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds and a short time state for a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). .

In addition, the "high probability state" refers to a state in which the probability of the subsequent jackpot is increased as an added value after the end of the jackpot, a time during the so-called probability fluctuation (during probability change, probability change state), in other words, a special game state (jackpot ). The high-probability state (during variable probability, variable probability state) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the hit probability of the second symbol described later is increased and the ball is likely to enter the second start port 64b.

On the other hand, the "low probability state" refers to the time when the probability is not variable, and the jackpot probability is normal, that is, the state in which the jackpot probability is lower than when the probability is variable. In addition, the time-saving state (during time-saving) of the "low-probability state" is a state in which the jackpot probability is normal, and only the hit probability of the second symbol is increased while the jackpot probability remains unchanged, resulting in the second start port 64b. It refers to the state of the game in which the ball is easy to enter.

In addition, instead of changing the probability of winning the second symbol, depending on the game state of the pachinko machine 10, the time when the electric accessory described later attached to the second start port 64b is opened, or one time by the second symbol It is also possible to change the number of times the electric accessary is opened by winning. Specifically, in the time saving state, the time for which the electric accessory associated with the second start port 64b is opened is made longer than in the case other than the time saving state, or the number of times the electric accessory is opened per time. may be made larger than in the case other than the time saving state. Also, in the time-saving state, at least two of increasing the winning probability of the second symbol, lengthening the opening time of the electric accessory, and increasing the number of times of opening the electric accessory may be performed at the same time. good.

A first normal winning opening 63a is provided on the lower left side of the game area, and a second normal winning opening 63b is provided on the lower right side of the game area. When the ball enters the first normal winning opening 63a, the first normal winning opening switch 208c (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the first normal winning opening switch 208c is turned on. 8 balls are paid out as prize balls. Further, when the ball enters the second ordinary winning opening 63b, the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the second ordinary winning opening switch 208d is turned on. As a result, 8 balls are paid out as prize balls. The number of prize balls when the balls enter the first normal prize opening 63a and the number of prize balls when the balls enter the second normal prize opening 63b are not necessarily the same. The number of prize balls may be different, such as 8 balls for the latter.

A variable display device unit 80 is arranged in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is provided with a third pattern display device 81 and a second pattern display device 83 . The third symbol display device 81 is triggered by entering a ball into one of the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b (starting winning), and while synchronizing with the variable display on the first symbol display device 37 , and a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as "display device") that performs variable display (variable effect) of the third pattern. The second pattern display device 83 is provided with a second pattern display device 83 composed of an LED that variably displays the second pattern triggered by passage of the ball through the through gate 67 . A center frame 86 is arranged in the variable display device unit 80 so as to surround the outer periphery of the third pattern display device 81 .

The third pattern display device 81 is composed of, for example, an 8-inch large liquid crystal display. and three symbol columns to the right are displayed.

Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols, and these symbols are vertically scrolled for each symbol row to variably display the third symbol on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 . In the pachinko machine 10, the game state is displayed by the first symbol display device 37 under the control of the main controller 110, while the decorative display corresponding to the display of the first symbol display device 37 is performed. It is performed by the third pattern display device 81 . Incidentally, instead of the display device, for example, the third symbol display device 81 may be configured using a reel or the like.

Here, the display contents of the third pattern display device 81 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining the display screen of the third pattern display device 81, and FIG. 4(a) is a diagram schematically showing area division setting and effective line setting of the display screen, FIG.4(b) is the figure which illustrated the actual display screen.

The third pattern consists of 10 types of main patterns numbered from "0" to "9". Each main design consists of a back design made of a wooden box with a number from "0" to "9". , Large numbers are added to almost the entire front of the wooden box. On the other hand, the main designs with even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) have attached designs that imitate characters such as planes, wrapping cloths, helmets, etc. that fill the front of the wooden box. An even number is added to the lower right side of the accessory pattern in a small green color so as to be displayed in front of the accessory pattern.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the lottery result by the main controller 110 (see FIG. 5), which will be described later, is a big hit, the same main symbols are aligned on the activated line L1. ) is performed, and the jackpot is generated after the variable display is finished. When shifting to a high-probability state (probability-variable state) after the end of the jackpot, a variable display is performed in which main patterns (corresponding to "high-probability patterns") to which odd numbers are added are aligned on the effective line L1. On the other hand, when shifting to a low-probability state after the end of the jackpot, a variable display is performed in which main symbols (corresponding to "low-probability symbols") to which even numbers are added are aligned on the activated line L1.

As shown in FIG. 4(a), the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 is roughly divided into two upper and lower parts, and the lower two-thirds display the third symbol (main symbol) in a variable display (variation effect). The main display area Dm is the main display area Dm, and the upper one-third of the other area is the sub display area Ds for displaying an advance notice effect, characters, and the like. In addition, in the central part of the lower base side of the display screen of the third symbol display device 81, a reserved ball number display area Db for displaying the number of reserved balls is provided.

The main display area Dm is divided into three left, middle, and right display areas Dm1 to Dm3. The symbol row Z1 is displayed in the display area Dm1, and the symbol row Z2 is displayed in the display area Dm2. A symbol row Z3 is displayed in Dm3.

The above-described third symbols are displayed in a prescribed order in each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. That is, the main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending numerical order in each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, and each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is periodically scrolled from top to bottom to perform variable display. In particular, the left symbol row Z1 is arranged so that the numbers of the main symbols appear in descending order, and the middle symbol row Z2 and the right symbol row Z3 are arranged so that the numbers of the main symbols appear in ascending order.

Further, in the main display area Dm, the third symbols are displayed in three stages of upper, middle and lower stages for each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3. The middle part of the main display area Dm is set as the effective line L1, and the third pattern is displayed on the effective line L1 in the order of the left symbol row Z1→right symbol row Z3→middle symbol row Z2 in each variation effect. Stop is displayed. When the third symbol is stopped, if a combination of big winning symbols (combination of the same main symbols) is aligned on the activated line L1, a big winning moving image is displayed as a big winning.

The sub-display area Ds is provided horizontally above the main display area Dm, and is evenly divided into three sub-areas Ds1 to Ds3 in the horizontal direction. The small areas Ds1 to Ds3 are areas for displaying characters and preview effect images, respectively. The images displayed in each of the small areas Ds1 to Ds3 give the player a feeling of anticipation of a big win as a result of the variable display performed in the main display area Dm. The number of retained balls display area Db is the number of retained balls, which is the number of balls (held balls) for which the variable display (variation effect) has not been performed among the balls that have entered the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b. This is the area that displays

On the actual display screen, as shown in FIG. 4(b), a total of nine main patterns of the third pattern are displayed in the main display area Dm. In the secondary display area Ds, moving images are displayed in the left small area Ds1 and the right small area Ds3, suggesting to the player that the state is more likely to transition to a big win than usual. In the central small area Ds2, a predetermined character (in this embodiment, a boy wearing a headband) usually performs a predetermined action, and sometimes performs a special action different from the predetermined action, or usually a black boy. A notice effect is performed by changing the color of the hair, the color of the usually white headband, and the appearance of another character.

On the other hand, when the ball enters the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b while the variation effect (variation display) is being performed on the third symbol display device 81 (first symbol display device 37), The number of times the ball is entered is suspended up to a maximum of 4 times. The number of reserved balls is displayed by the first pattern display device 37, and is also indicated in the number of reserved balls display area Db. In the reserved ball number display area Db, one reserved ball number pattern ("●" pattern) is displayed for each reserved ball number, and the number of reserved balls is displayed according to the number of displayed reserved ball number patterns. .

That is, when one reserved ball number pattern is displayed in the reserved ball number display area Db, it indicates that the number of reserved ball numbers is one ball, and when four reserved ball number patterns are displayed, the reserved ball number pattern is displayed. Indicates that the number of balls is 4 balls. Further, when the number of reserved balls pattern is not displayed in the number of reserved balls display area Db, it indicates that the number of reserved balls is 0, that is, the number of reserved balls does not exist.

In the present embodiment, the number of ball entries into the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b is configured to be suspended up to four times in total. It is not limited, and may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). In addition, instead of displaying the number of reserved balls in the reserved number of balls display area Db, the number of reserved balls is indicated by a number in a part of the third pattern display device 81, or an area divided into four is displayed for the number of reserved balls. It may be displayed in a different mode (for example, color or lighting pattern). Further, since the number of reserved balls is displayed by the first symbol display device 37, the third symbol display device 81 may not display the number of reserved balls. Furthermore, the variable display device unit 80 may be provided with four holding lamps indicating the number of holding balls, which is the maximum holding number, and the number of holding balls may be displayed according to the number of holding lamps in the lighting state.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description is continued. The second pattern display device 83 performs a variable display by alternately lighting up a symbol "O" and a symbol "X" as display symbols (second symbols) each time the ball passes through the through gate 67. be. In the pachinko machine 10, when the variable display on the second symbol display device 83 stops at a predetermined symbol (symbol of "○" in this embodiment), the electric accessory provided at the second start port 64b is displayed for a predetermined time. is configured to be activated (opened) only.

The number of times the ball passes through the through gate 67 is reserved up to 4 times, and the number of reserved balls is displayed by the first symbol display device 37 and the second symbol reservation lamp 84 is lit and displayed. Four second symbol holding lamps 84 corresponding to the maximum number of holding lamps are provided, and arranged symmetrically below the third symbol display device 81 . Then, the number of reservations is displayed according to the number of the second symbol reservation lamps 84 lit.

In addition, the variable display of the second pattern is performed by switching between lighting and non-lighting of a plurality of lamps in the second pattern display device 83 as in the present embodiment. A part of the display device 81 may be used. Similarly, instead of turning on the second symbol reserve lamp 84, the variable display of the second symbol may be performed by a part of the third symbol display device 81. FIG. Also, the passage through the through gate 67 is not limited to 4 times as in the case of the second starting port 64b, but is 3 times or less or 5 times or more (e.g., 8 times). can be set to Further, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the first symbol display device 37, the lighting display of the second symbol reservation lamp 84 may not be performed.

A first starting port 64a is provided below the variable display unit 80, and a second starting port 64b is provided below the first starting port 64a. The first starting port 64a is provided with an opening into which a ball can enter upward. The opening of the first starting port 64a is always open, allowing the ball to enter. When the ball enters the first starting port 64a, the first starting port switch 208a (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control is caused by turning on the first starting port switch 208a. A jackpot lottery is performed by the device 110 (see FIG. 5), and the display corresponding to the lottery result is shown by the LED 37a of the first pattern display device 37, and the third pattern display device 81 displays the variation of the third pattern. executed. The first starting hole 64a is also one of the winning holes from which three balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls enter.

On the other hand, the second starting port 64b is provided with an electric accessory having two blades covering the opening through which the ball enters the second starting port 64b. The electric accessory opens and closes the two blades to open the second starting port 64b (enlarged state) or close it (reduced state). Normally, the second starting port 64b is in a closed state in which the wings of the electric accessory are closed (the wings stand up), and the ball cannot enter the second starting port 64b, or the ball cannot enter the second starting port 64b. It is in a difficult state.

Then, when the variable display on the second symbol display device 83 stops at the symbol "O", the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b is operated for a predetermined period of time. From the state in which the wings of the electric accessory stand up while the electric accessory is being operated. It will be in a substantially V-shaped (inverted V-shaped) movable state, and the second starting port 64b will be in an open state. When the second starting port 64b is opened, a ball can enter the second starting port 64b, or a ball can easily enter the second starting port 64b compared to the closed state. In other words, as a result of the variable display on the second symbol display device 83, the ball is entered into the second starting port 64b when it stops at the symbol "○" and wins, and the second starting port 64b is opened. Then, a state can be created in which many big winning lotteries can be performed.

When the ball enters the second starting port 64b, the second starting port switch 208b (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control is caused by turning on the second starting port switch 208b. A jackpot lottery is performed by the device 110 (see FIG. 5), and the display corresponding to the lottery result is shown by the LED 37a of the first pattern display device 37, and the third pattern display device 81 displays the variation of the third pattern. executed. The second starting hole 64b is also one of the winning holes from which two balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls enter.

A variable prize winning device 65 is provided below the second starting port 64b, and a horizontally long rectangular large prize winning port (also called a large opening or specific prize winning port) 65a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof. In the pachinko machine 10, when the lottery by the main controller 110 becomes a big win, the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37 is turned on so that the big win stops after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) elapses. A stop symbol corresponding to the big win is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of the big win. After that, the game state transitions to a special game state (jackpot) in which the ball is likely to win. As this special game state, the normally closed big winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds elapse or until 10 balls are won).

The large winning opening 65a is closed after a predetermined period of time has passed, and after the closure, the large winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined period of time. The opening and closing operation of the big winning opening 65a can be repeated up to, for example, 15 times (15 rounds).

Specifically, the variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally long rectangular opening/closing plate that covers the big winning opening 65a, and a big winning opening solenoid (not shown) for opening and closing forward with the lower side of the opening/closing plate as an axis. and The big winning opening 65a is normally in a closed state in which the ball cannot or hardly wins a prize. In the event of a big win, the large winning opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening/closing plate to the lower front side to temporarily form an open state in which the ball easily enters the large winning opening 65a, and the open state and the normal closed state are formed. It operates to alternate between states.

When a ball enters the big winning slot 65a, a big winning slot switch 208e (see FIG. 6) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the number of times the big winning slot switch 208e is turned on is counted. , the number of winning balls in the big winning opening 65a is counted, and the conditions for closing the big winning opening 65a are determined. Also, 12 balls are paid out as prize balls due to the turn-on of the big winning hole switch 208e. By repeating the open state and closed state of the big prize winning port 65a due to the big win, many balls are likely to enter the big winning prize port 65a, and the player can appreciate the game value (game value). As a grant, a larger amount of prize balls than usual is paid out. This state is one form of a special game state that is advantageous to the player.

Incidentally, the special game state is not limited to the form described above. A specific winning opening and a large open opening to be opened and closed separately from the specific winning opening are provided in the game area, and when the LED 37a corresponding to the big win is lit on the first pattern display device 37, the specific winning opening is opened for a predetermined time. A game state in which the large opening is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times with the entry of a ball into the specific winning port as a special game state may be formed as a special game state.

Through gates 67 are provided on the left and right sides of the variable display device unit 80, respectively. The through gate 67 is provided with a through hole (not shown) through which a ball passes in the vertical direction. When the ball launched into the game area passes through the through gate 67, a through gate switch (not shown) provided in the through hole is turned on. Ordinary design) hit lottery will be held.

As a result of the lottery of the second pattern (normal pattern) performed for the ball that passed through the through gate 67, if it is determined to be a hit, the second pattern is displayed on the second pattern display device 83 and then " After the "○" symbol is stopped and displayed, the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b is activated. As a result, the wings of the electric accessory, which make it difficult for the ball to enter the second starting port 64b, move from a substantially vertically upright state to a substantially V shape (inverted V shape), and the ball moves for a predetermined time. can be entered into the second starting port 64b, or a state in which the ball can enter more easily than in the closed state.

Affixing spaces K1 and K2 for affixing certificate stamps, identification labels, etc. are provided at the left and right corners on the lower side of the game board 13. can be viewed through a small window 35 (see FIG. 1).

Furthermore, the game board 13 is provided with an out port 66 . Balls that have not entered any of the winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a are guided through the out opening 66 to a ball discharge path (not shown). Also, the balls that enter the winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a are guided to the ball discharge path after passing through the switches provided for each winning opening for detecting the entry of the ball. be. The ball guided to the ball discharge path passes through an out switch 208f (see FIG. 6) for detecting the guided ball, and is then discharged to an island facility (not shown) where the pachinko machine 10 is installed. .

Here, a ball shot into the game area of the pachinko machine 10 always enters one of the winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a or the out opening 66.例文帳に追加Therefore, the balls entering the winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a and the out-opening 66 are guided to the ball discharge path and always pass through the out-switch 208f. Therefore, by counting the number of balls detected by the out switch 208f, the number of balls shot into the game area (the number of balls used in the game) can be grasped. Also, the out switch 208f detects a ball that has actually passed through the game area and entered one of the winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, 65a or the out opening 66. In other words, a ball that was shot into the game area but got caught somewhere in the game area and was not used in the game as a result is not detected. Therefore, by counting the number of balls detected by the out switch 208f, it is possible to prevent the balls not used in the game from being counted as the balls shot into the game area.

The game board 13 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately distributing and adjusting the falling direction of the balls, and various members (accessories) such as windmills.

As shown in FIG. 3, the back side of the pachinko machine 10 is mainly provided with control board units 90 and 91 and a back pack unit 94 . The control board unit 90 is unitized by mounting a main board (main controller 110), an audio lamp control board (audio lamp control device 113), and a display control board (display control device 114). The control board unit 91 is unitized by mounting a payout control board (payout control device 111), a launch control board (launch control device 112), a power supply board (power supply device 115), and a card unit connection board 116.

The back pack unit 94 includes a back pack 92 forming a protective cover and a dispensing unit 93 as a unit. In addition, each control board has an MPU as a 1-chip microcomputer that manages each control, a port that communicates with various devices, a random number generator that is used for various lotteries, and is used for time counting and synchronization. A clock pulse generation circuit or the like is mounted as required.

The MPU 201 executes switch read processing (see FIG. 11) for checking the states of various switches in timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10) that is executed every 2 milliseconds. In the switch reading process, the MPU 201 refers to the first 1 port 205a, the first 2 port 205b, the general 1 port 205c, the general 2 port 205d, the big winning port 205e and the out port 205f, and and the presence or absence of balls guided to the ball discharge path, the number of winning balls in each winning hole and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path in 0.5 seconds (i.e., number of balls fired into the playing area). Then, the number of each ball counted and the game state at that time (whether the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 (so-called door) is open, whether there is an error state, etc.) are displayed. It is set in the character product ratio management chip 207 every 0.5 seconds. The character ratio management chip 207 calculates and manages the character ratio based on the number of balls. Whether or not the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open is determined by the MPU 201 referring to the door opening port 205g and confirming the output of the door opening switch 208g.

The main controller 110 executes the main processing of the pachinko machine 10 by various counters stored in the RAM 203 and various tables 202a to 203d stored in the ROM 202. FIG. Also, the prize ball number table 202e and the trigger information data 202f are data used for managing the character ratio in the character ratio management chip 207, and when the power of the main controller 110 is turned on, the character ratio It is sent to the management chip 207 .

Here, with reference to FIG. 7, counters and the like provided in the RAM 203 of the main controller 110 will be described. These counters, etc. are mainly used to set the jackpot lottery, the variable display (variable effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, and the lottery of the display result of the second symbol display device 83. It is used in MPU 201 of control device 110 . In the description of various counters, various tables 202a to 202d stored in the ROM 202 of the main controller 110 will also be described with reference to FIG.

For the setting of the jackpot lottery and the variable display (variation effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the first winning random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery and the number counter used for selecting the jackpot symbol are used. A per-type counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3, a variation type counter CS1 used for variation pattern selection, and a first initial value random number counter CINI1 used for initial value setting of the first per random number counter C1 are used. .

Also, the second winning random number counter C4 is used for the lottery of the second symbol display device 83, and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is used for setting the initial value of the second winning random number counter C4. Each of these counters is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value each time it is updated and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value.

Each counter is updated, for example, at intervals of 2 milliseconds, which is the execution interval of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10), and some counters are updated irregularly during the main processing (see FIG. 17). Then, the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 203 . Although the details will be described later, the RAM 203 is provided with a reserved ball storage area 203b consisting of four reserved areas (first to fourth reserved areas). The values of the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 are stored in accordance with the timing of the ball entering the second starting port 64b.

Each counter will be described in detail. The first hit random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in order within a predetermined range (eg, 0 to 899), and reaches 0 after reaching the maximum value (eg, 899 in the case of a counter that can take a value of 0 to 899). It is configured to return to When the first winning random number counter C1 is updated once, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the first winning random number counter C1. The random number counter C1 is updated.

The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated within the same range as the first random number counter C1. That is, for example, if the first random number counter C1 is a loop counter that can take values from 0 to 899, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is also a loop counter that ranges from 0 to 899. This first initial value random number counter CINI1 is updated once each time the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) is executed, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (see FIG. 17).

The value of the first winning random number counter C1 is, for example, periodically updated (once per timer interrupt processing in this embodiment), and the ball wins either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b ( At the timing of the start winning), the value of the first winning random number counter C1 at that time is the first winning random number counter storage area of one of the reserved first to fourth areas provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 203b1. The value of the random number for the jackpot is set by the jackpot random number table 202a stored in the ROM 202 of the main controller, and the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in the reserve area is set by the jackpot random number table 202a. If it matches the value of the random number that will be a big hit, it will be determined as a big hit.

Details of the jackpot random number table 202a will now be described with reference to FIG. 8(a). FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of the jackpot random number table 202a. A jackpot random number table 202a is for a low probability state used when the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is a low probability state (a period in which the probability is not variable), and the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is a jackpot from the low probability state. It is divided into two types, one for high probability state used in the case of high probability state (during probability change) with high probability. The number of random numbers to be the big wins included in each of the low-probability state and the high-probability state is set differently. In this way, by varying the number of random numbers that result in a big win, the probability of a big win is changed between the low-probability state and the high-probability state.

The first winning random number counter C1 in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is configured as a 2-byte loop counter ranging from 0 to 899. FIG. In the first winning random number counter C1, the number of random number values (jackpot random number values) that become a big win in the low probability state is 3, and the value "7,307,582" is stored in the big winning random number table 202a. ing.

On the other hand, the number of random number values (jackpot random number values) that become a big hit in the case of a high probability state is 30, and the values are 28, 58, 85, 122, 144, 178, 213, 238, 276, 298, 322 , 354, 390, 420, 448, 486, 506, 534, 567, 596, 618, 656, 681, 716, 750, 772, 809, 836, 866, 892" are stored in the jackpot random number table 202a. .

In addition, in the present embodiment, the jackpot random numbers for the low-probability state and the jackpot random numbers for the high-probability state stored in the jackpot random number table 202a are not duplicated. have set. Here, if there is a value that becomes a jackpot random value regardless of the state of the pachinko machine 10, the value is likely to be predicted from the outside, so there is a possibility that the jackpot will be illegally assigned. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, depending on the situation (that is, depending on whether the pachinko machine 10 is in a high probability state or a low probability state), by changing the value of the random number that becomes a big win, Since it is possible to make it difficult to predict the random number value, fraud can be suppressed.

Returning to FIG. 7, the description is continued. The first hit type counter C2 determines the jackpot type when it becomes a jackpot. In the case of a counter that can take a value, it is configured to return to 0 after reaching 99). The value of the first winning type counter C2 is, for example, periodically updated (once per timer interrupt processing in this embodiment), and the ball starts either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b. At the timing of winning (starting winning), the value of the first winning type counter C2 at that time is the first winning random number counter C1 among the first to fourth reserved areas provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203. It is stored in the first winning type counter storage area 203b2 of the same reservation area as the reservation area to be stored.

Here, if the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in one reservation area in the reservation ball storage area 203b is not a random number that becomes a big hit, that is, if it is a random number that becomes an outlier, the variation pattern in the variation effect Also, the type of stop symbol (hereinafter referred to as "stop type") is the one at the time of loss. On the other hand, if the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the reserved ball storage area 203b is a random number for a big win, the variation pattern and the stop type in the fluctuation effect will be those at the time of the big win. . In this case, the variation pattern and stop type at the time of the big win are determined corresponding to the big win type indicated by the value of the first winning type counter C2 stored in the same reservation area.

The value of the first win type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of 0-99. The jackpot type is determined based on the first hit type counter C2 and the jackpot type table 202b stored in the ROM202. Here, with reference to FIG.8(b), the jackpot classification table 202b is demonstrated. FIG.8(b) is the figure which showed typically an example of the jackpot classification table 202b. As shown in FIG. 8B, the jackpot type table 202b is a table in which the jackpot types and the values of the first hit type counter C2 are associated with each other.

As the jackpot type, as described above, "15R probability variable jackpot" that shifts to a high probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds, and shifts to a low probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds, and 100 There is a "15R normal jackpot" that is a time-saving state during the number of fluctuations, and a "2R probability variable jackpot" that shifts to a high probability state after the maximum number of rounds hits two rounds.

In the jackpot type table 202b, each jackpot type is associated with the value of the first hit type counter C2 that determines the jackpot type. In the example of FIG. 8(b), the value of the first per type counter C2 "0 to 39" is associated with the 15R probability variable jackpot, and the value of the first per type counter C2 "40 to 39" is associated with the 15R normal jackpot. 79” is associated, and the value of the first hit type counter C2 “80 to 99” is associated with the 2R probability variable jackpot.

When the value of the first winning random number counter C1 is a value for a big win, the big winning type associated with the value of the first winning type counter C2 stored in the same reservation area is determined from the big winning type table 202b. . For example, if the value of the first hit type counter C2 is "20", "15R probability variable jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type, and if the value of the first hit type counter C2 is "60", the jackpot type is " If "15R normal jackpot" is determined and the value of the first hit type counter C2 is "90", "2R probability variable jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type.

Thus, in this embodiment, when the jackpot is achieved, the 15R variable jackpot is selected with a probability of 40%, the 15R normal jackpot is selected with a probability of 40%, and the 2R variable jackpot is selected with a probability of 20%. . The probability that each jackpot type is selected when a jackpot is won is appropriately set depending on the model. Then, according to the set probability, the jackpot type table defines the value of the first hit type counter C2 associated with each jackpot type.

In addition, the probability that the jackpot type is selected may be changed according to the game state of the pachinko machine 10 . In this case, a jackpot type table corresponding to each game state is prepared, and in each jackpot type table, the number of values of the first hit type counter C2 associated with each jackpot type may be changed.

Also, the probability that the jackpot type is selected may be changed depending on the starting hole into which the ball is entered. That is, as the probability of each jackpot type selected when the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball storage area 203b is a random number that becomes a jackpot when the ball enters the first starting port 64a, For example, the "15R variable variable jackpot" is 40%, the "15R normal jackpot" is 40%, and the "2R variable variable jackpot" is 20%. As the probability of each jackpot type selected when the value of the first random number counter C1 is a random number that becomes a jackpot, for example, "15R variable jackpot" is 55%, "15R normal jackpot" is 40%, and "2R variable jackpot" is selected. ” may be 5%.

In this case, a jackpot type table corresponding to the first start port 64a and a jackpot type table corresponding to the second start port 64b are prepared, and in each jackpot type table, the first hit type associated with each jackpot type The number of values of the counter C2 may be changed. Then, in the first to fourth reserved areas of the reserved ball storage area 203b, the values of the various counters stored in each area are the winning prizes for either the first starting opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b. A flag indicating whether it is stored together is also stored, and based on the flag, the jackpot type used when determining the jackpot type based on the first hit type counter C2 stored in each area. A table may be selected. Alternatively, a flag is separately provided in a form corresponding to each of the first to fourth reserved areas, and the values of various counters stored in the corresponding areas are determined by the flags of the first start port 64a and the second start port 64b. The jackpot type is used to determine the jackpot type based on the first win type counter C2 stored in each area based on the flag indicating which start port is stored with the winning prize. A table may be selected.

Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the various counters continues. The stop pattern selection counter C3 is configured such that it is incremented by one within a range of 0 to 99, for example, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 99). In this embodiment, the stop pattern selection counter C3 selects the stop type at the time of loss displayed on the third symbol display device 81, and after the occurrence of the ready-to-win, the final stop symbol shifts by one before and after the ready-to-win symbol. There are three stops: "Reach out of front and back" that stops at the same time, "Reach other than front and rear out" in which the final stop symbol stops outside the front and back of the reach symbol after the same reach occurs, and "Complete out of reach" that does not occur ( production) pattern is selected.

The value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is updated, for example, periodically (once per timer interrupt processing in this embodiment), and the ball enters either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b. At the timing of winning (starting winning), the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is stored in the first hit random number counter C1 among the first to fourth reserved areas provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203. It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 of the same reservation area as the reservation area.

The ROM 202 is provided with a plurality of stop pattern tables 202c having different ranges of random numbers for selecting the stop type, corresponding to the stop pattern selection counter C3. The reason why a plurality of stop pattern tables 202c are prepared is to change the selection ratio of the stop type according to whether the current state of the pachinko machine 10 is a high probability state or a low probability state.

For example, in a high-probability state, the stop pattern table 202c with a wide random number range of 0 to 89 corresponding to the stop type of "complete failure" is selected so that the ready-to-win effect is not selected unnecessarily because the jackpot is likely to occur. This makes it easier for people to choose “completely out”. In this stop pattern table 202c, the "front-rear out-of-reach reach" is narrowed to 98 and 99, and the "non-front-rear out-of-rear reach" is also narrowed from 90 to 97, making it difficult to select the "front-rear out-of-rear reach" or the "non-rear-rear out-of-rear reach". Become.

In addition, in the low probability state, the range of the random number value corresponding to the stop type of "complete failure" is set to 0 to 79 in order to secure the time for the ball to enter the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b. , the narrow stop pattern table 202c is selected, making it difficult to select "completely off". In this stop pattern table 202c, the range of random numbers corresponding to the stop type of "Reach other than front-rear deviation" is widened from 80 to 97, and "Reach other than front-rear deviation" is more likely to be selected. Therefore, in the low-probability state, it is possible to perform many ready-to-win displays with a long performance time, so that the time for the ball to enter the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b can be secured, and the variation by the third symbol display device 81 Display can be easily continued. In the latter stop pattern table 202c as well, the range of random numbers corresponding to the stop type of "outside reach" is set to 98,99.

The fluctuation type counter CS1 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 198, for example, and return to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 198). The value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is updated once each time a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10), which will be described later, is executed, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time in the main process (see FIG. 17). Also, at the timing when the ball wins (starts winning) either the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 at that time is stored in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203. It is stored in the variation type counter storage area 203b4 of the same reservation area as the reservation area in which the first hit random number counter C1 is stored among the reserved first to fourth areas.

The variation type counter CS1 is used to determine the variation pattern. That is, when the MPU 201 performs the variation effect based on the various counters stored in one reservation area, the variation type counter CS1 stored in the variation type counter storage area 203b4 of the reservation area and the variation type counter CS1 stored in the ROM 202 The variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern table 202d. Determination of the variation pattern is, specifically, determination of the variation time of the pattern variation. The voice ramp control device 113 and the display control device 114 are based on the variation pattern (variation time) determined by the variation type counter CS1, the reach type and the fine pattern of the third pattern displayed on the third pattern display device 81 A variation mode is determined, and the presence or absence of execution of the notice performance and the execution mode of the notice performance are determined.

Details of the variation pattern table 202d will now be described with reference to FIGS. 8(c) to 8(e). The pachinko machine 10 is provided with, as the variation pattern table 202d, a big win variation pattern table 202d1 used at the time of the big win and loss variation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3 used at the time of the loss. In addition, as the deviation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3, depending on whether the game state is a high probability state at the time of the time saving state or the probability change, or a low probability state at the normal time excluding the time saving state, for the loss (probability change) A fluctuation pattern table 202d3 and a deviation (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 are prepared.

Further, each of the variation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3 is respectively a table referred to when the number of held balls is 0 (that is, when there is no held ball), a table referred to when the number of held balls is 1, A table referred to when the number of reserved balls is 2, a table referred to when the number of reserved balls is 3, and a table referred to when the number of reserved balls is 4 are separately provided.

It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to prepare a variation pattern table for each number of reserved balls. may be provided. For example, each of the variation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3 may be divided into a table that is referenced when the number of held balls is less than 3 and a table that is referenced when the number of held balls is 3 or more. . Further, the condition of the number of reserved balls for determining the table to be referred to may be different in each of the fluctuation pattern tables 202d1 to 202d3. For example, the big hit variation pattern table 202d1 includes a table to be referred to when the number of retained balls is less than 3 and a table to be referred to when the number of retained balls is 3 or more. A different table 202d2 may be prepared for each number of held balls, and a single table may be prepared for the variation pattern table 202d3 for loss (probability variation) regardless of the number of held balls.

FIG. 8(c) is a diagram schematically showing an example of the big-hit variation pattern table 202d1 that is referenced when the number of held balls is 2, among the big-hit variation pattern table 202d1 stored in the ROM 202. FIG.

The big-hit variation pattern table 202d1 is divided into groups (groups) based on the big-hit type regardless of the number of held balls. Specifically, as a jackpot type, it is divided into a 15R jackpot common that is referred to when a 15R variable jackpot and a 15R normal jackpot is determined, and a dedicated 2R variable jackpot that is referred to when a 2R variable jackpot is determined. there is A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each of the divided groups.

When the value of the first winning random number counter C1 is a value (big winning random value) that becomes a big hit, the variation pattern according to the big winning type corresponding to the value of the first winning type counter C2 stored in the same reservation area. Determines the group (group) to be referred to in the big hit variation pattern table 202d1. In the group (group) of the big win variation pattern table 202d1, the variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the same reservation area is determined as the variation pattern in the variation performance reserved in the reservation area. be done.

In common with the 15R jackpot, three variation patterns, variation A with a variation time of 30 seconds, variation B with a variation time of 60 seconds, and variation C with a variation time of 90 seconds, are selectable, and each variation pattern is associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1.

The variation A is a variation pattern in which the third symbol display device 81 executes a so-called normal reach in which the third symbols are aligned after a reach with a short variation time. The variation B is a variation pattern in which the third symbol display device 81 performs a so-called super reach in which the third symbols are aligned after a reach having a longer variation time than the normal reach. Super reach includes, for example, reach that develops from normal reach, and long reach that has a long reach time. The variation C is a variation pattern in which the third symbol display device 81 executes a so-called special reach in which the third symbols are aligned after a reach having a longer variation time than the super reach. The special reach includes, for example, a reach that develops further after the super reach, and a special reach that develops from the normal reach different from the super reach.

In the example shown in FIG. 8(c), the correspondence between the variation pattern and the value of the variation type counter CS1 when the number of pending balls is 2 is 0 to 10 for variation A, variation 11 to 99 for B, and 100 to 198 for variation C. Since the 15R jackpot common table is selected in the case of the 15R probability variable jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot, it is easy to select the variation C in which the special reach is executed in order to give the player a sense of expectation. It's becoming However, it is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be expected from any reach by structuring such that variation A in which normal reach is performed and variation B in which super reach is performed are also selected.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, a large number of different effects are prepared for each reach. The image displayed on the back side of the character) is rapidly changed and displayed, and a certain character is suddenly displayed. Includes multiple reach with different production contents, such as those with is added. In the main control unit 110, when the 15R probability variable jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot is achieved, only the fluctuation A, the fluctuation B, and the fluctuation C are determined as fluctuation patterns, and the sound ramp control device 113 and the display control device 114 control each fluctuation A to A detailed variation pattern corresponding to C is determined. According to the detailed variation pattern, the third symbol display device 81 executes a variation effect.

Only the "2R fluctuation" fluctuation pattern with a fluctuation time of 59 seconds is selectably prepared exclusively for the 2R probability variable jackpot. In the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1, even if it corresponds to any number of pending balls, in the group dedicated to the 2R probability variable jackpot, as shown in FIG. 0 to 198) are associated with 2R variations. That is, when the jackpot variation type is the 2R probability variable jackpot, the 2R variation is always selected as the variation pattern.

When the 2R variation is selected by the main controller 110, a detailed variation pattern corresponding to the 2R variation is determined by the sound ramp controller 113 and the display controller 114. FIG. Therefore, when the 2R probability variable jackpot is determined as the jackpot type in the main controller 110, the third symbol display device 81 executes a fluctuation effect according to a detailed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the 2R fluctuation. In the pachinko machine 10, characters such as "chicken" or "girl" are displayed in the small areas Ds1 and Ds3 of the third pattern display device 81 as detailed variation patterns corresponding to the 2R variation, and finally A variation pattern in which the third symbol stops at a specific symbol, and a variation pattern in which the third symbol finally stops at a particular symbol with the lighting or blinking of a particular lamp are included.

Although the variation pattern at the time of the big win is determined using only the variation type counter CS1, it may be determined using a plurality of other variation type counters. For example, whether or not to add a notice effect that foretells the start of a jackpot or a ready-to-win effect before the start of the change or during the change effect may be determined by another variation type counter, and when the reach is established, the last It may be determined by another variation type counter how many symbols the third symbol to be stopped is to be shifted and stopped (for example, one symbol is shifted before and after, etc.).

Also, in the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1, a group dedicated to the 2R probability variation jackpot is provided, but in the pachinko machine 10, when the 2R probability variation jackpot is achieved, only the "2R variation" variation pattern is selected. Without providing a group dedicated to the 2R probability variable jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 may define only the correspondence between the variation type counter CS1 and the variation pattern when the 15R probability variable jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot is achieved. In this case, when the jackpot type is a 2R probability variable jackpot, the 2R fluctuation may be determined as the fluctuation pattern without referring to the jackpot fluctuation pattern table 202d1.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, only "2R variation" is selected when a 2R probability variable jackpot is achieved, but one variation pattern is selected from a plurality of variation patterns when a 2R probability variable jackpot is achieved. You may do so. In this case, like the group common to the 15R jackpot, even in the group dedicated to the 2R probability variable jackpot, the fluctuation type counter CS1 is associated with the fluctuation pattern selected when the 2R probability variable jackpot occurs, and a certain reservation area The variation pattern associated with the stored value of the variation type counter CS1 may be determined as the variation pattern in the variation performance reserved in the reservation area.

FIG. 8D schematically shows an example of a failure (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 that is referenced when the number of held balls is 2, out of the failure (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 stored in the ROM 202. It is a diagram showing.

As shown in FIG. 8(d), the deviation (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2 is dedicated to complete deviation, which is referred to when complete deviation is determined as the stop type at the time of deviation, and forward-backward deviation reach and forward-backward deviation. It is divided into groups (groups) based on the common reach that is referred to when the reach is determined and the stop type at the time of loss, and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 corresponds to each of the divided groups. is attached.

When the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in a certain reservation area is not a value for a big win (random value for a big win), that is, when it is a value that becomes an outlier, the game state is normal except for the time-saving state. When in the low probability state, the variation type counter CS1 stored in the reserve area according to the stop type corresponding to the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same reserve area as the first hit random number counter C1. A variation pattern corresponding to the value of is determined from the deviation (normal) variation pattern table 202d2.

Two variation patterns, a variation D with a variation time of 7 seconds and a variation E with a variation time of 10 seconds, are selectable for the complete outlier, and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is set for each variation pattern. are mapped. When the variation D or the variation E is selected as the variation pattern, the third symbol display device 81 executes a variation effect in which the high-speed variation of the third symbol is started and then stopped without reaching reach. As shown in FIG. 8(d), in the loss (normal) variation pattern table 202d2, the correspondence between each variation dedicated to complete loss and the value of the variation type counter CS1 when the number of held balls is 2 is as follows: 0 to 98, and the variation E is 99 to 198.

In addition, in common to reach, there are three variations A to C described above, that is, variation A in which normal reach is performed by the third symbol display device 81 with a variation time of 30 seconds, and super reach with a variation time of 60 seconds. Three variation patterns, variation B executed by the 3-symbol display device 81 and variation C executed by the 3-symbol display device 81 with a variation time of 90 seconds, are prepared so as to be selectable. In the outlier (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2, the correspondence between each fluctuation common to the reach when the number of held balls is 2 and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is 0 to 98 for fluctuation A and 99 to 190 for fluctuation B. , the variation C is 191-198.

FIG. 8(e) schematically shows an example of the loss (probability variation) variation pattern table 202d3, which is referenced when the number of balls held is 2, out of the loss (probability variation) variation pattern table 202d3 stored in the ROM 202. It is a diagram showing.

As shown in FIG. 8(e), the deviation (normal) variation pattern table 202d3 is referred to when complete deviation is determined as the stop type at the time of deviation, similar to the deviation (normal) variation pattern table. Fluctuation D and variation E can be selected as a variation pattern only for complete deviation, and refer to when reach other than front and rear deviation reach and front and rear deviation reach is determined, and fluctuations A to C can be selected as variation patterns Reach common, It is divided into groups (groups) based on the stop type at the time of deviation, and in the divided groups, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is associated with each selectable fluctuation pattern.

When the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in a certain reservation area is a value that does not result in a big win, that is, a value that is out of the game, when the game state is in the time-saving state or the high-probability state at the time of probability variation, According to the stop type corresponding to the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same reservation area, the variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the reservation area is the deviation (probable variation) variation pattern. Determined from table 202d3.

As shown in FIG. 8(e), in the loss (probable variation) variation pattern table 202d3, the correspondence between each variation exclusively for complete loss when the number of held balls is 2 and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is as follows: 0 to 190, and the variation E is 191 to 198. In addition, when the number of held balls is 2, the correspondence between each variation in common reach and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 0 to 98 for variation A, 99 to 190 for variation B, and 191 to 198 for variation C. ing. In other words, the correspondence between each variation common to reach and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is the same between the deviation (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 and the deviation (probable variation) variation pattern table 202d3.

On the other hand, when the game state is in the time saving state or the high probability state at the time of probability variation, the ball is likely to enter the second start port 64b, and the complete deviation (variation E) with a long variation time is often executed. If so, it takes a long time to start the next variable display, and the player may be put in a waiting state and feel uncomfortable. Moreover, it is not preferable for the hall because the operating rate is lowered.

Therefore, if the game state is completely out when it is in a time-saving state or a high-probability state at the time of probability variation, it is a complete outage with a shorter fluctuation time than when it is in another game state (normal state except for time-saving state) ( In order to facilitate the selection of variation D), a deviation (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 and a deviation (probable variation) variation pattern table 202d3 are configured. As a result, by starting the next variable display early, it is possible to reduce the possibility of making the player feel uncomfortable. Moreover, it is possible to suppress an extreme decrease in the operating rate.

Although the variation pattern at the time of deviation is selected using only the variation type counter CS1, it may be selected using a plurality of variation type counters (selecting whether or not to display an advance notice, etc.). In addition, the selection of the type of loss is configured to be divided into a (normal) variation pattern table for loss and a (probability variation) variation pattern table for loss, but even if the game state is normal, there are multiple held balls (for example , 3 or more if the maximum is 4), since the variation display may be ended early, the selection may be made by referring to the deviation (probability variation) variation pattern table.

In addition, since the correspondence between the fluctuations A to C selected when the fluctuation type is the front-rear out-of-reach reach or the front-rear out-of-rear reach and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is the same regardless of the game state, Normal) The fluctuation pattern table 202d2 and the deviation (probability variation) fluctuation pattern table 202d3 do not include a group common to reach, and these fluctuation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3 are referred to only when the stop type is completely off. In addition, a variation pattern table may be separately prepared which is referred to when the stop type is either the front-rear out-of-order reach or the non-rear-out-of-rear reach regardless of the game state.

In the pachinko machine 10, the correspondence between the fluctuations A to C selected when the fluctuation type is the out-of-order reach or the non-out-of-order reach and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is the same regardless of the gaming state. Although it is assumed that there is, it may be different depending on the game state.

Furthermore, in the fluctuation pattern tables 202d2 and 202d3 for each deviation shown in FIGS. 8(d) and 8(e), the fluctuation D and the fluctuation E are simply set as "complete deviation fluctuation", and the "complete deviation fluctuation" is selected. In this case, another table may be referenced to select variation D and variation E with a predetermined probability. Of course, also in this case, tables corresponding to the number of held balls may be prepared.

Returning to FIG. 7, the second hit random number counter C4 is configured as a loop counter that sequentially adds 1 within the range of 0 to 250, for example, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250). Further, when the second winning random number counter C4 completes one cycle, the value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the second winning random number counter C4.

In this embodiment, the value of the second hit random number counter C4 is updated at each timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), and is acquired when it is detected that the ball has passed through either the left or right through gate 67. There are 149 random numbers to be won, and the range is "5 to 153". That is, when the value of the obtained second winning random number counter C4 is within the range of "5 to 153", it is determined that a winning is occurring, and the second symbol display device 83 displays a "○" symbol as a stop symbol (second symbol). Along with the lighting display, the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b is activated, and the second starting port 64b is opened for a predetermined time.

The second initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter updated in the same range as the second random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 250), and once per timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10). It is updated and repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main processing (see FIG. 17).

In this way, the RAM 203 is provided with various counters and the like, and the main controller 110 controls the big winning lottery and the variable display on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 according to the values of the counters and the like. Main processing of the pachinko machine 10 such as setting of (fluctuation effect) and lottery of the display result in the second pattern display device 83 can be executed.

Returning to FIG. 6, the description is continued. The prize ball number table 202e of the ROM 202 is a table that defines the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball enters (wins a prize) in each of the prize winning openings 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, and 65a. Details of the number-of-balls table 202e will now be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the contents of the number-of-balls table 202e.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the number-of-balls table 202e, the "starting opening type" includes the first starting opening 64a, the second starting opening 64b, the first normal winning opening 63a, the second normal winning opening 63b, and the big winning opening 65a. is defined, and for each winning hole, the "number of prize balls" corresponding to that winning hole is defined. Specifically, in the number-of-balls table 202e, the number of prize balls is associated with the first start opening 64a, the number of prize balls is associated with the second start opening 64b, and the number of prize balls is associated with the second start opening 64b. 8 prize balls are associated with the opening 63a, 8 prize balls are associated with the second normal winning opening 63b, and 12 prize balls are associated with the big winning opening 65a.

The prize ball number table 202e defines the number of prize balls corresponding to each winning hole for all the winning holes provided in the pachinko machine 10. FIG. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is provided with winning holes other than the winning holes 63a, 63b, 64a, 64b, and 65a, the number of prize balls corresponding to the winning holes is included in the number of prize balls table 202e. is defined.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, the number of prize balls is the same between the first normal winning hole 63a and the second normal winning hole 63b. Therefore, in the number-of-balls table 202e, the first normal winning hole 63a and the second normal winning hole 63b are combined, and the "starting hole type" is defined as "normal winning hole", and is associated with the "normal winning hole". The number of prize balls may be defined as 8. Also, if the number of prize balls of the first start port 64a and the second start port 64b is the same as "3", the first start port 64a and the second start port 64b are combined in the number of prize balls table 202e. , the "starting opening type" may be defined as "starting opening", and the number of prize balls 3 may be defined in association with the "starting opening".

The number-of-balls table 202e is transmitted to the role-ratio management chip 207 during the initialization process of the MPU 201 executed when the main controller 110 is powered on, and Used when calculating ratios.

The trigger information data 202f is data that defines the timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio in the role product ratio management chip 207. FIG. Although the details will be described later, the role product ratio management chip 207 calculates the role product ratio at the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f.

The role product ratio management chip 207 corresponds to three timings (trigger) as the timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio. The first is the number of shot balls, and the role ratio management chip 207 calculates the role ratio each time the number of shot balls reaches a predetermined number. The second is the time, and the role product ratio management chip 207 calculates the role product ratio when a predetermined time comes. The third is the playing time, and the role product ratio management chip 207 calculates the role product ratio when the player's playing time has passed for a predetermined period of time.

In the trigger information data 202f, information indicating any one of “number of shots”, “time”, and “game time” is defined as the calculation timing (trigger) of the role product ratio in the role product ratio management chip 207 .

The trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "predetermined number of balls" which is the timing for calculating the character ratio when the information indicating the "number of shots" is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "number of shots" and information indicating 500 balls as the "predetermined number of balls", the character ratio A role product ratio is calculated in the management chip 207 .

When information indicating "time" is defined, the trigger information data 202f also defines information indicating "predetermined time" which is the timing for calculating the role product ratio. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating "time" and information indicating 12:00, 17:00, 19:00, and 22:00 as "predetermined times", the time is 12:00. , 17:00, 19:00, and 22:00, the character product ratio is calculated in the character product ratio management chip 207 .

The trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "predetermined time" which is the timing for calculating the role product ratio, when the information indicating the "game time" is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating "game time" and information indicating two hours as the "predetermined time", the role ratio management chip 207 , the role product ratio is calculated.

The trigger information data 202f is sent to the character ratio management chip 207 together with the prize ball number table 202e during the initialization process of the MPU 201 that is executed when the main controller 110 is powered on. It is used when the management chip 207 determines a trigger for calculating the character product ratio.

The RAM 203 includes a stack area for storing the contents of the internal registers of the MPU 201 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 201, various flags and counters, I/O and a work area (work area) in which values such as are stored. The RAM 203 is configured to retain (back up) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply 115 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off, and all the data stored in the RAM 203 is backed up. .

A power failure signal SG1 output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 is input to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201 when the power is shut off (including when a power failure occurs; the same applies hereinafter). With this input, power-off occurrence information is set by the executed NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. 15). In the main processing of the MPU 201 (FIG. 17), when it is determined that there is power-off occurrence information, the stack pointer at that time and the values of each register are stored in the RAM 203 .

On the other hand, when the power is turned on (including when the power is turned on due to the cancellation of the power failure; the same applies hereinafter), the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power was cut off based on the information stored in the RAM 203 . Writing to the RAM 203 is executed by the main process (see FIG. 20) when the power is turned off, and restoration of each value written in the RAM 203 is executed by the start-up process (see FIG. 19) when the power is turned on.

The RAM 203 further includes a reserved ball number counter 203a, a reserved ball storage area 203b, a reserved ball execution area 203c, a start 1 counter 203d, a start 2 counter 203e, a general 1 counter 203f, a general 2 counter 203g, a large winning opening counter 203h, an out It has at least a counter 203i.

The number of retained balls counter 203a is one of the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b detected in timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 14) which is periodically executed every 2 milliseconds. Based on the entering ball (start winning), the number of pending balls (number of waiting times) of the variable display performed by the first symbol display device 37 (variable effect performed by the third symbol display device 81) is counted up to 4 times. It is a counter that Zero is set as an initial value of the reserved ball number counter 203a by the initial setting process (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 203 after the power is turned on. Then, every time the starting winning prize is detected and the number of held balls in the variable display increases, 1 is added up to the maximum value of 4 (see S202 and S203 in FIG. 12). On the other hand, the number of pending balls counter 203a is decremented by 1 each time the variable effect is executed (see S305 in FIG. 13).

The value of the pending ball number counter 203a (that is, the pending ball number) is notified to the sound lamp control device 113 by the pending ball number command (see S205 in FIG. 12). The pending ball count command is a command sent from the main controller 110 to the sound lamp control device 113 each time the start winning is detected and the pending ball counter 203a is incremented by one.

The voice lamp control device 113 can acquire the value of the number of pending balls of the variable effect that is held by the main controller 110 by the number of pending balls command. As a result, in the audio lamp control device 113, it is possible to manage the suspension count of the variable effect without accessing the main control device 110. FIG. In addition, every time the start winning is detected, by transmitting a pending ball number command from the main controller 110 to the voice ramp control device 113, the pending ball number of the variable effect managed in the voice ramp control device 113 is reduced to noise. Even if the actual number of retained balls of the variable performance retained by the main controller 110 is deviated due to such influences, the deviation can be corrected by the command of the number of retained balls to be received next.

The audio lamp control device 113 transmits a display pending ball number command for notifying the pending ball number to the display control device 114 every time the internally managed pending ball number changes. The display control device 114 displays the reserved ball number pattern in the reserved ball number display area Db of the third pattern display device 81 based on the reserved ball number notified by the display reserved ball number command.

Further, in this embodiment, when the main controller 110 transmits a pending ball number command to the sound lamp control device 113, in the pending ball number command, not only the value of the pending ball number counter 203a incremented by 1 , the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2, and the stop pattern selection counter acquired from the counter buffer (see FIG. 6) in accordance with the start winning that triggered the addition of the pending ball number counter 203a. C3, each value of the variation type counter CS1 is also included.

That is, when there is a starting prize, each value of the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 acquired from the counter buffer in the main control device 110 , is communicated to the audio ramp controller 113 by the number of pending pitches command.

In the voice ramp control device 113, each value of the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 transmitted by the pending ball number command is changed based on each value. Pre-reading is performed before the performance is executed, and what the variable performance will be (whether or not a big hit will occur, how the variable time will be, etc.) is determined before the execution of the variable performance. Execution of various effects can be determined based on the result of judgment by the look-ahead.

The reserved ball storage area 203b stores the first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 acquired from the counter buffer (see FIG. 7) upon detection of the start winning. A memory for storing each value. When the MPU 201 detects that the ball has entered either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b (starting winning) in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 10), each counter from the counter buffer The values of C1 to C3 and CS1 are acquired and stored in the reserved ball storage area 203b. The reserved ball storage area 203b is divided into four reserved areas (first reserved to first 4 areas) (see FIG. 7).

The reserved ball execution area 203c stores data (counters C1 to C3, CS1 each value).

When the MPU 201 detects that it is the execution start timing of the variable effect, the big winning lottery and the setting of the variable display (variable effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 are executed. Of the data corresponding to each starting prize stored in the above-described reserved ball storage area 203b (values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1), the data corresponding to one starting prize is stored in this reserved ball execution area 203c. shift to It should be noted that the shift in this embodiment means moving data stored in one area to another area.

Here, with reference to FIG. 7 again, the details of the reserved ball storage area 203b and the reserved ball execution area 203c will be described. The reserved ball storage area 203b and the reserved ball execution area 203c are used by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 to set the jackpot lottery and the variable display (variable effect) of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81. used by

For the setting of the jackpot lottery and the variable display (variation effect) of the first pattern display device 37 and the third pattern display device 81, the first hit random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery and the first hit random number counter C1 used for determining the jackpot type are used. A hit type symbol counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used to determine the stop type at the time of loss, and a variation type counter CS1 used to determine the variation pattern are used. The reserved ball storage area 203b stores the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 obtained from the counter buffer by the MPU 201 when the ball enters either the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b (start winning). Store each value.

The reserved ball storage area 203b is composed of four reserved areas (first to fourth reserved areas). Each of the four reservation areas (reservation first to fourth areas) has a first winning random number counter storage area 203b1 that stores the value of the first winning random number counter C1 and a first winning type counter C2 that stores the value. A per type counter storage area 203b2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 203b4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided.

In this embodiment, the first hit random number counter storage area 203b1, the first hit type counter storage area 203b2, the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3, and the variation type counter storage area 203b4 are combined into one reserved ball storage area. 203b, a plurality of reserved ball storage areas may be provided, and each of the four areas 203b1, 203b2, 203b3, and 203b4 may be provided in one of the reserved ball storage areas.

As described above, in the reserved ball storage area 203b, up to four data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1) obtained at the timing when the ball enters the second starting port 64b (start winning) is stored. However, in that case, data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) among the vacant areas of the 4 reserved areas (1st to 4th reserved areas). That is, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the oldest starting prize is stored, and the first reserved area stores the data corresponding to the oldest starting prize.

On the other hand, the reserved ball execution area 203c is composed of only one area. In this reserved ball execution area 203c, similarly to the reserved ball storage area 203b, a first winning random number counter storage area 203c1 for storing the value of the first winning random number counter C1 and the value of the first winning type counter C2 are stored. A first hit type counter storage area 203c2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 203c3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 203c4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided.

When the MPU 201 determines that it is time to start executing the variable effect, the data (the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1) stored in the first reserved area of the reserved ball storage area 203b are stored in this reserved ball. It shifts to each area 203c1 to 203c4 of the execution area 203c. Then, the data shifted to the holding ball execution area 203c is referred to in the variation start process (see FIG. 17), and a big winning lottery is performed based on the reference data, and the variation pattern and stop type corresponding to the lottery result are determined. decide. In the first symbol display device 37, under the control of the main controller 110, variation display is performed based on the determined variation pattern and stop type.

In addition, the variation pattern and the stop type determined here are notified to the audio lamp control device 113 by the variation pattern command and the stop type command, and are also notified to the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113. . Then, under the control of the display control device 114, the third symbol display device 81 performs a variation effect based on the variation pattern and the stop type notified by the variation pattern command and the stop type command.

The details of data shift will be explained. When the MPU 201 determines that it is time to start executing the variable effect, the random value in the first hit random number counter storage area 203b1 of the first reservation area is transferred to the first hit random number counter storage area 203c1 of the reservation ball execution area 203c. shift. Similarly, the random number in the first winning type counter storage area 203b2 is shifted to the first winning type counter storage area 203c2, and the random number in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203b3 is shifted to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 203c3. , the random number in the fluctuation type counter storage area 203b4 is shifted to the fluctuation type counter storage area 203c4.

When the shift of the data to the holding ball execution area 203c is completed, the holding first area becomes empty, so that each area (second to fourth) of the holding ball storage area 203b stores (holds). Shift processing is performed to pack the data into areas (first to third) whose area number is one smaller. In the present embodiment, data is shifted only for the reserved areas (first to fourth) in which data is stored (held) in the reserved ball storage area 203b.

Here, the data shift performed for each reserved area in the reserved ball storage area 203b will be described. For example, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a when it is determined to start the variable effect is "4", and data is stored in all areas (first to fourth) of the pending ball storage area 203b. do. In this state, the data in the first reserved area is shifted to the reserved ball execution area 203c, and when the first reserved area becomes empty, the MPU 201 transfers the data in the other areas (second to fourth) to the area Shift to area (1st to 3rd) with number 1 smaller. That is, the data in the second reserved area is shifted to the first reserved area, the data in the third reserved area is shifted to the second reserved area, and the data in the fourth reserved area is shifted to the third reserved area.

Further, for example, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a when the start determination of the variable effect is performed is "2", the MPU 201 shifts only the data in the second pending area to the first pending area. , to finish shifting the data. As described above, in the present embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the reserved areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (held), so the number of data shifts can be reduced. can reduce the control burden.

Note that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data in the reserved areas (second to fourth) may be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not data is stored (retained) in the reserving areas (second to fourth), making it easier to create a program.

Returning to FIG. 6, the description is continued. A start 1 counter 203d is a counter for counting the number of balls that have won the first start opening 64a, a start 2 counter 203e is a counter for counting the number of balls that have won the second start opening 64b, and a general 1 counter 203f. is a counter for counting the number of balls that have won the first normal winning prize opening 63a, a general 2 counter 203g is a counter for counting the number of balls that have won the second normal winning prize opening 63b, and a large winning prize opening counter 203h is for a large winning prize opening. The out counter 203i, which is a counter for counting the number of balls that have entered the winning opening 65a, is a counter for counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). be. All of these counters 203d to 203i are set to zero as initial values by the initial setting processing (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 203 after power-on.

In addition, the MPU 201 performs the switch reading process (see FIG. 11) in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) which is executed every 2 milliseconds. Referring to the port 205c, the normal 2 port 205d, the large winning opening port 205e and the out port 205f, the first starting opening switch 208a, the second starting opening switch 208b, the first normal winning opening switch 208c and the second normal winning opening switch 208d. , the big winning opening switch 208e and the out switch 208f determine whether or not a ball has been detected. Then, when there is a winning in any of the winning openings (a ball is detected in the corresponding switch), the counter corresponding to the winning opening is incremented by 1, and the ball is detected in the out switch 208f. is detected, the out counter 203i is incremented by one.

The counting of the number of balls in the counters 203d to 203i continues for 0.5 seconds. Then, when 0.5 seconds have passed, the values of the counters 203d to 203h are set as winning information, and the value of the out counter 203i is set as out information, together with the information indicating the game state at that time, to the role product ratio management chip 207. be done. When the setting of the values of the counters 203d to 203i in the character ratio management chip 207 is completed, the values of these counters 203d to 203i are initialized to zero, and the prizes are won in the winning slots for the next 0.5 seconds. The number of balls drawn is counted for each winning hole, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have entered each winning hole at intervals of 0.5 seconds, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path. The number (that is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted, and the counted result is set in the role product ratio management chip 207 . As will be described later, the role product ratio management chip 207 accumulates these counted values for each value until the timing of calculating the role product ratio. Until the timing to calculate the product ratio, or from the previous calculation of the role ratio to the next timing to calculate the role ratio, the number of balls that won each prize hole Also, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted.

In this way, the number of winning balls into the winning opening actually detected by the MPU 201 is input from the MPU 201 to the role ratio management chip 207. It is possible to accurately grasp the number of balls recognized as prize-winning.

In addition, if the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning hole and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). If the character ratio management chip 207 does not perform these calculations and only the character ratio management chip 207 counts them, even the character ratio management chip 207 can guide the winning to each winning opening and the ball discharge path at short intervals (for example, 2 millisecond intervals). The sphere must be monitored, which increases the processing load and may increase power consumption.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, the counting results of the MPU 201 are set in the character ratio management chip 207 at intervals of 0.5 seconds. In addition, between the time when the power is turned on and the time when the character ratio is calculated for the first time, or between the time when the character ratio was calculated last time and the time when the next character ratio is calculated. A process of counting the number of winning balls in each winning hole and counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) may be executed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in processing load and power consumption in the role product ratio management chip 207 .

On the other hand, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning hole, and also counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). Therefore, for example, at intervals of 2 milliseconds, the winning of each winning hole and the ball guided to the ball discharge path are monitored. It is necessary to perform such control, and processing is originally performed at intervals as short as 2 milliseconds. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, since the interval at which the balls are shot into the game area by the ball shooting unit 112a (see FIG. 5) is approximately 0.6 seconds, The number of winning balls and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (i.e., the number of balls used in the game) are 0 or 1 in most cases, and a few balls at most. Therefore, the amount of data required for the counters 203d to 203i provided in the RAM 203 may be small. Therefore, this counting process can suppress an increase in the capacity of the RAM 203 . Therefore, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have entered each winning hole for 0.5 seconds, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). (number of

The character product ratio management chip 207 is provided with a CPU 261, a buffer 262, a first read/write memory 263, a second read/write memory 264, a setting register 265, and a real-time clock (hereinafter referred to as "RTC") 266. , which are connected to each other via bus 206 . The bus 206 is also connected to the MPU 201 and inspection terminals 207a.

Also, a large-capacity capacitor 267 is connected to the role product ratio management chip 207 . While power is being supplied to the main controller 110, the capacitor 267 is charged. The power charged in the capacitor 267 is used to perform processing associated with the power-off. Note that a chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery may be connected to the character product ratio management chip 207 instead of the capacitor 267 .

The CPU 261 is an arithmetic device that controls the operation of the role ratio management chip 207, and executes a control program stored in a ROM (not shown) provided in the role ratio management chip 207 to control the role in the pachinko machine 10. The material ratio management chip 207 is used to manage the material ratio. Since the CPU 261 manages the role product ratios in the role product ratio management chip 207 and the like, it is possible to flexibly cope with the function change and specification change of the role product ratio management chip 207 by changing the software.

RTC 266 outputs the current time. The RTC 266 incorporates a rechargeable secondary battery (not shown), and using the secondary battery as a power source, the RTC 266 keeps track of the current time and outputs the current time. The time output by the RTC 266 is referred to by the CPU 261 when the timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio set in the trigger setting area 265b is "time", and the time indicated by the RTC 266 is set in the trigger setting area. 265b, the process of calculating the character product ratio is executed. In addition, although the details will be described later, the first reading memory 263 stores jackpot information, door opening information, error information or When the after-hours information is added, the time at that time is read from the RTC 266, and the read time is added to each data together with each piece of information.

The buffer 262 is a memory for temporarily storing various types of information set by the MPU 201, and is composed of an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) which is a volatile memory capable of reading and writing data. The buffer 262 includes a start 1 buffer 262a, a start 2 buffer 262b, a general 1 buffer 262c, a general 2 buffer 262d, a big winning opening buffer 262e, an out buffer 262f, a buffer during jackpot 262g, a buffer during opening 262h, a buffer during error 262i, and the like. is provided at least.

The value of the first counter 203d set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the first buffer 262a. The value of the start 2 counter 203e set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the start 2 buffer 262b. The general 1 buffer 262c stores the value of the general 1 counter 203f set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds. The value of the general 2 counter 203g set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the general 2 buffer 262d. The value of the big winning opening counter 203h set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is stored in the big winning opening buffer 262e. The out buffer 262f stores the value of the out counter 203i set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds.

When the gaming state set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is during the jackpot, the information (jackpot information) is stored in the buffer 262g during the jackpot. When the game state set by the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds is that the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is being opened, the open buffer 262h stores the information (door open information). If the game state set by the MPU 201 is in error at intervals of 0.5 seconds, the error buffer 262i stores the information (error information).

In the character product ratio management chip 207, the MPU 201 performs setting (writing) to various buffers provided in the buffer 262, and when an interrupt signal is received from the MPU 201, the CPU 261 performs setting information reception processing (see FIG. 19), which will be described later. reference). The setting information reception process counts the number of winning balls for each winning hole based on various information set in the buffer 262, and the balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the balls shot to the game area). are counted, and the number of balls is stored in the first read/write memory 263, and information on the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is also stored in the first read/write memory 263.

The setting register 265 is a register for setting a setting value necessary for the operation of the role product ratio management chip 207 . The setting register 265 is provided with at least a number-of-balls data setting area 265a and a trigger setting area 265b.

A winning ball number table 202e (see FIG. 9) stored in the ROM 202 of the MPU 201 is set in the winning ball number data setting area 265a. The trigger information data 202f stored in the ROM 202 of the MPU 201 is set in the trigger setting area 265b. When the main controller 110 is powered on, the ball prize table 202e and the trigger information data 202f are sent to the character ratio management chip 207. FIG. Then, the CPU 261 sets the number-of-balls table 202e in the number-of-balls data setting area 265a, and sets the trigger information data 202f in the trigger setting area 265b.

The prize ball number table 202e set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a is referred to by the CPU 261 when calculating the role ratio. Here, the number of prize balls for each winning hole is determined by the model of the pachinko machine, and the information is stored in the ROM 202 conventionally. Information on the number of prize balls is transmitted from the number of prize balls table 202e stored in the ROM 202 to the character ratio management chip 207 each time power is supplied, and the number of prize balls data setting area of the character ratio management chip 207 265a, there is no need to store information on the number of prize balls that differs for each model in the ROM of the character ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the production of the character product ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. Also, if the pachinko machine models are different, the ROM 202 may be changed, and even if the pachinko machines of different models use the same role product ratio management chip 207, the role product ratio can be calculated accurately.

The trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is also referred to by the CPU 261, and it is determined whether or not the timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f has come. When it is determined, the process of calculating the role product ratio is executed. Here, the timing (trigger) of the calculation of the character ratio management chip 207 is determined by the character ratio management chip 207 because there is a physical limit to the storage capacity of the character ratio management chip 207 that can record the information on the character ratio management chip 207. It is preferable that the timing is not fixed, but that the jackpot probability, probability variation rate, etc. in the pachinko machine 10 are taken into consideration. As in the pachinko machine 10, the trigger information data 202f that defines the timing of calculating the character ratio determined in consideration of the jackpot probability, probability variation ratio, etc. in the pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 202, and the power is supplied. Each time the trigger information data 202f is sent to the ROM 202 to the role product ratio management chip 207, the role product ratio management chip 207 can execute a role product at a timing that matches the jackpot probability, probability variable ratio, etc. of the pachinko machine 10. It is possible to calculate the ratio and the continuous character product ratio and record it in the second read/write memory 264 .

Note that only the winning ball table 202e and the trigger information data 202f, which are transmitted during the start-up process (so-called boot process) executed by the MPU 201 when the main controller 110 is powered on, are the winning ball number data. It is configured to be set in a setting area 265a and a trigger setting area 265b. The startup process is a so-called boot process, which is a non-user program that is not programmed by the user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent person from setting a false winning ball table or trigger information data in the winning ball number data setting area 265a and the trigger setting area 265b.

The first read/write memory 263 is a memory for temporarily storing while accumulating the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 until the timing for calculating the character product ratio. The first read/write memory 263 is composed of a data readable/writable volatile memory such as an SRAM. Note that the first read/write memory 263 may be configured with a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), which is a volatile memory capable of reading and writing a larger amount of data.

The first reading memory 263 stores a start 1 counter 263a, a start 2 counter 263b, a general 1 counter 263c, a general 2 counter 263d, a big prize winning opening counter 263e, an out counter 263f, a jackpot data 263g, an opening data 263h, and an error. At least data 263i and after-hours data 263j are stored. These counters and data stored in the first read/write memory 263 are all initialized to 0 by the CPU 261 based on the initialization signal transmitted from the MPU 201 when the main controller 110 is powered on ( See S710 in FIG. 18).

In addition, these counters and data stored in the first read/write memory 263 are referred to by the role product ratio calculation process executed by the CPU 261 when the timing for calculating the role product ratio has come, and necessary processing is executed. After that, the CPU 261 initializes all to 0 again (S744 in FIG. 21). As a result, in the first read/write memory 263, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is accumulated and temporarily stored again until the next timing for calculating the character product ratio. .

The start 1 counter 263a is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won the first start opening 64a before the timing for calculating the role product ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the value of the start 1 counter 203d indicating the number of balls that have won the first start hole 64a for 0.5 seconds in the start 1 buffer 262a, the CPU 261 sets the value set in the start 1 buffer 262a. (That is, the number of balls winning the first starting hole 64a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the first counter 263a.

The start 2 counter 263b is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won the second start port 64b until the timing for calculating the role product ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the value of the start 2 counter 203e indicating the number of balls that have won the first start hole 64a for 0.5 seconds in the start 2 buffer 262b, the CPU 261 sets the value set in the start 2 buffer 262b. (That is, the number of balls winning the second starting hole 64b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the first 2 counter 263b.

The normal 1 counter 263c is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won the first normal prize winning opening 63a before the timing for calculating the role product ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the value of the general 1 counter 203f, which indicates the number of balls that have won the first normal prize winning opening 63a for 0.5 seconds, in the general 1 buffer 262c, the CPU 261 sets the general 1 buffer 262c. A value (that is, the number of balls winning in the first normal winning hole 63a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the normal 1 counter 263c.

The normal 2 counter 263d is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won the second normal winning opening 63b until the timing for calculating the role product ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the value of the general 2 counter 203g that indicates the number of balls that have won the second normal prize winning opening 63b for 0.5 seconds in the general 2 buffer 262d, the CPU 261 sets the general 2 buffer 262d. A value (that is, the number of balls winning in the second normal winning hole 63b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the normal 2 counter 263d.

The big winning hole counter 263e is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls that have won the big winning hole 65a until the timing for calculating the role product ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the value of the big winning hole counter 203h, which indicates the number of balls that have won the big winning hole 65a for 0.5 seconds, in the big winning hole buffer 262e, the CPU 261 sets the value in the big winning hole buffer 262e. The value (that is, the number of balls that have won in the big winning hole 65a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the big winning hole counter 263e.

The out counter 263f is a counter for accumulating and counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, balls shot to the game area) until the timing for calculating the accessory ratio. When the MPU 201 sets the out buffer 262f to the value of the out counter 203i that indicates the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path for 0.5 seconds, the CPU 261 resets the value set in the out buffer 262f (that is, 0 .5 seconds) is added to the out counter 263f. When the trigger for calculating the character ratio set in the trigger setting area 265b is "number of shots", this out counter 263f is referred to, and the number of balls (number of shots) indicated by the out counter 263f is counted in the trigger setting area. When the "predetermined number of balls" set in 265b is exceeded, the CPU 261 executes the process of calculating the role product ratio.

When the game state of the pachinko machine 10 becomes a big win before the timing of calculating the role product ratio, the big win data 263g is the big win information indicating that the pachinko machine 10 has won a big win. It is the data specified together. When the MPU 201 sets the jackpot information indicating that the pachinko machine 10 is in the jackpot as the game state of the pachinko machine 10 in the jackpot buffer 262g, the CPU 261 combines the jackpot information with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 to generate the jackpot. It is added to the medium data 263g.

The open data 263h indicates that the pachinko machine 10 opens the door when the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is that the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 (door) is open before the timing for calculating the accessory ratio. This is the data defined together with the time when the door is open, which indicates that the state has been reached. When the MPU 201 sets door open information indicating that the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open as the game state of the pachinko machine 10 in the open buffer 262h, the CPU 261 displays the door open information. is added to open data 263h along with the current time indicated by RTC 266.

The in-error data 263i provides in-error information indicating that the pachinko machine 10 is in error when the game state of the pachinko machine 10 becomes in error before the timing for calculating the role product ratio is reached. This data is specified together with the time of When the error buffer 262i is set by the MPU 201 to the error buffer 262i, the error information indicating that the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is in error is set by the CPU 261 together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266. , is added to the in-error data 263i.

The after-hours data 263j is set (written) to the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 in the pachinko machine 10 when the setting (writing) to the buffer 262 is performed in a late-night time period (for example, between midnight and 6:00 in the morning), which is usually outside business hours. This data defines after-hours information indicating that some kind of action was performed in the middle of the night, together with the time at that time. When the MPU 201 sets (writes) to the buffer 262, the CPU 261 reads the time at that time from the RTC 266, and when it is determined that the time is in the midnight time zone, the after-hours information is Together with the current time indicated by RTC 266, it is added to after hours data 263j.

The second read/write memory 264 is composed of a non-volatile memory, such as a flash memory, from which data can be read and written. The second read/write memory 264 only needs to hold stored data even when the power is turned off. (MRAM: Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory), resistance change type memory (ReRAM: Resistive Random Access Memory), or the like. In addition, while the second read/write memory 264 is composed of a DRAM, by continuing to supply the backup voltage from the power supply device 115 to the DRAM even while the power is off, data can be retained even while the power is off. You may make it

The second read/write memory 264 stores at least character ratio data 264a, continuous character ratio data 264b, shot ball number data 264c, and game state data 264d.

The role product ratio data 264a is data in which data representing the role product ratio calculated for each timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio is recorded together with the calculated time. The continuous role product ratio data 264b is data in which data representing the continuous role product ratio calculated at the same timing (trigger) is recorded together with the calculated time.

Here, the role ratio is the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player, which is paid out according to the winning of the second starting hole 64b and the big winning hole 65a in which the role is activated. It shows the ratio of the number of balls (prize balls), and is defined as 70% or less. In addition, the continuous role ratio is defined as the number of balls (prize balls) paid out in association with winning in the big winning hole 65a in which the role is continuously operated, out of the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player. It shows the ratio of the number of balls), and is defined as 60% or less.

Originally, the role ratio and the continuous role ratio refer to the above ratios in the case where the game ball trial shooting test is performed for 10 hours, but here, the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b For each timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio indicated by the CPU 261, the CPU 261 controls the timing until the timing is reached for the first time after the power is turned on, or between the previous timing and the current timing. The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with winning to the second starting hole 64b and the big winning hole 65a out of the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out is calculated, It is recorded in the role product ratio data 264a together with the time of day. Also, the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player from the time the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time, or from the previous timing to the current timing. The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with winning to the mouth 65a is calculated and recorded in the continuous role ratio data 264b together with the time at that time.

In addition, even when the power is cut off, the power charged in the capacitor 267 is used to pay out from the timing (trigger) of calculating the most recent role product ratio until the power is cut off. Based on the number of balls won (prize balls), the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded in the character ratio data 264a or the continuous character ratio data 264b together with the time at that time. . As a result, after the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio can be obtained without omission even with respect to the number of prize balls paid out before the power is turned off. A ratio can be calculated.

The number of balls that have won the first starting hole 64a indicated by the first counter 263a stored in the first reading memory 263, the number of balls that have won the second starting hole 64b indicated by the first counter 263b, The number of balls winning the first normal winning opening 63a indicated by the 1 counter 263c, the number of balls winning the second normal winning opening 63b indicated by the normal 2 counter 263d, and the large winning opening counter 263e indicated by the big winning opening counter 263e. The number of prize balls associated with each prize hole shown in the prize ball number table 202e (see FIG. 9) set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a for each of the number of balls that have won the prize hole 65a. By multiplying by , the number of balls paid out in accordance with the winning of the winning opening can be calculated for each winning opening. By totaling these, the total number of balls paid out to the player can be calculated.

As a result, the number of balls paid out with winning to the second start hole 64b and the number of balls paid out with winning to the big winning hole 65a with respect to the total number of balls paid out to the player By calculating the total ratio with the number of , the role ratio can be calculated. Further, by calculating the ratio of the number of balls paid out with winning to the big winning opening 65a to the total number of balls paid out to the player, the continuous accessory ratio can be calculated.

The shot ball number data 264c is the total number of balls shot to the game area counted by the out-counter 263f of the first reading memory 263, for each timing (trigger) for calculating the character ratio, and the time at that timing. Data recorded together. The total number of balls shot to the game area from the time the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time or from the previous timing to the current timing is indicated by the out counter 263f. When the timing for calculating the character ratio has come, the value of the out counter 263f at that time is recorded in the shot ball number data 264c together with the time at that time indicated by the RTC 266.

The game state data 264d includes jackpot information, door opening information, error information, and overtime information stored in the first reading memory 263 during jackpot data 263g, during opening data 263h, during error data 263i, and during overtime data 263j. are recorded together with the time associated with each piece of information. When it is time to calculate the role product ratio, the jackpot information, the door opening information, and the jackpot information stored in the first reading memory 263 during jackpot data 263g, during opening data 263h, during error data 263i, and during overtime data 263j, The CPU 261 records the in-error information, the out-of-hours information, and the time associated with each information in the game state data 264d.

At this time, for example, if the jackpot information is stored in the jackpot data 263g at intervals of less than one second, it means that the game state is that the jackpot is continuously occurring, so the jackpot at the earliest time. Only the information and its time are recorded in the game state data 264d. Similarly, for the door open information, error information, and overtime information, if each information is stored in each data 263h to j at intervals of less than 1 second, the oldest time information and the time is recorded in the game state data 264d. As a result, the storage capacity required for the game state data 264d can be reduced.

When recording jackpot information, door open information, error information, and out-of-hours information in the game state data 264d, the CPU 261 arranges (sorts) each piece of information from the oldest time information, and transfers the information to the game state data 264d. Record. When outputting the information recorded in the game state data 264d to the inspection device 300, the CPU 261 outputs the information in the recorded order. As a result, each piece of information is output in chronological order from the oldest, so that the inspection device 300 can easily analyze changes in the game state with the lapse of time by analyzing the information in the order in which it is output.

However, the CPU 261 does not necessarily have to arrange each piece of information in order from the oldest piece of information and store it in the gaming state data 264d. In this case, when outputting the information recorded in the game state data 264d to the inspection device 300, the CPU 261 may read out the information recorded in the game state data 264d in order from the oldest time and transmit it to the inspection device 300. Alternatively, each piece of information may be output to the inspection device 300 in the order in which it was recorded, and the inspection device 300 may rearrange the pieces of received information from the oldest one.

The jackpot information, door opening information, error information and after-hours information stored in the first reading memory 263 during jackpot data 263g, during opening data 263h, during error data 263i and after-hours data 263j are respectively corresponded. All of them may be recorded in the game state data 264d together with the attached time. Although the storage capacity required for the game state data 264d is large, by outputting this to the inspection device 300, it is possible to analyze the operating state of the pachinko machine 10 while observing minute changes in the game state.

Here, the information on the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, and the total number of balls shot into the game area that can be recorded in the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b, and the number of shot balls data 264c are each stored in a predetermined number ( For example, 1024). In addition, the total number of jackpot information, door open information, error information, and overtime information that can be recorded in the game state data 264d is also limited to a predetermined number (eg, 16384). When a predetermined number of pieces of information have already been recorded in the role ratio data 264a, the continuous role ratio data 264b, the shot ball number data 264c, or the game state data 264d, the oldest information is deleted, and the newest information is replaced. is recorded. For example, the role ratio data 264a, the continuous role ratio data 264b, the shot ball number data 264c, and the game state data 264d are configured like ring buffers, respectively, and the positions where information is written on each ring buffer are managed. A memory is separately prepared in the second read/write memory 264 or in a non-volatile memory provided separately from the second read/write memory 264, and by shifting the writing position by 1 each time information is written, the oldest information can be obtained. can be erased and the latest information can be recorded there. By setting an upper limit on the number of pieces of information that can be recorded in each piece of data in this way, it is possible to suppress an increase in the storage capacity of the second read/write memory 264 . Also, when the number of information to be recorded in each data reaches the upper limit, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, so that the inspection device 300 can be analyzed including the latest state of the pachinko machine 10. can be done. By preparing a memory in the second read/write memory 264 for managing the position where information is written on the ring buffer, even if the power supply is cut off in the middle, the data can be restored after the power supply is turned on. New information can be added and recorded from the continuation of the information stored up to.

When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, an interrupt occurs to the CPU 261, and the CPU 261 controls the character product ratio data 264a and the continuous character product ratio data 264b recorded in the second read/write memory 264, The number of balls data 264c and the game state data 264d are transmitted to the inspection device 300 in order. When transmitting each data 264a to 264d to the inspection apparatus 300, the CPU 261 transmits each information recorded in each data 264a to 264d (including recorded time information associated with each information). They are read in order and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . Just by connecting the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a, an interrupt occurs, and the processing of transmitting each information recorded in the second read/write memory 264 to the inspection device 300 is executed. can be completed. Therefore, the inspection device 300 analyzes the character ratio and the continuous character ratio from the information received from the pachinko machine 10, and fraud can be quickly and easily detected from the character ratio and the continuous character ratio.

Specifically, when the data to be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 does not satisfy the upper limit number of recordable information (predetermined number), the CPU 261 first adds information to the data. The information recorded from the position where is written to the position indicated in the memory that manages the position where information is written (that is, the position where the latest time information is recorded) is sequentially read and inspected. Send to device 300 . On the other hand, if the data for transmitting information to the inspection apparatus 300 satisfies the upper limit number of information that can be recorded (predetermined number above), the memory that manages the position to write the information indicates. The position indicated in the memory that manages the position to write the information by shifting the reading position by 1 in order from the position next to the position (i.e., the position where the oldest time information is recorded) (i.e., the position where the information is written) , the position where the latest time information is recorded) are sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . As a result, the information is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

Since the second reading memory 264 is composed of a non-volatile memory, even if the power supply is turned off in the middle, the second reading memory 264 records the information regarding the character ratio etc. in the pachinko machine 10. continue to be Therefore, the inspection device 300 can receive and analyze information regarding the character product ratio and the like including information before the power is turned off.

Here, some of the fraudsters illegally open the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b by some method, or guide the ball to the second starting port 64b. There are those who try to increase the chances of winning a big prize by increasing the number of prizes to be won. Also, there are those who try to obtain many prize balls by illegally opening the opening/closing plate of the big prize winning opening 65a by some method or guiding the balls to the big winning prize opening 65a. If there is such a fraudulent act, the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio will increase.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, the main controller 110 is provided with the role ratio management chip 207, and the prize ratio management chip 207 obtains the winning information for each winning hole from the MPU 201 of the main controller 110. , the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio in the pachinko machine 10 are calculated at predetermined timings and recorded continuously. Then, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a , the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 are output to the inspection device 300 . As a result, by analyzing the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio in the inspection device 300, it is possible to discover the fraudulent act when it has been performed.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 , information on the number of balls shot into the game area and information on the game state are also recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300 . Therefore, if the analysis by the inspection device 300 shows that the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are high, the cause is investigated based on the information on the number of balls shot into the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

Also, the role product ratio management chip 207 is provided in the main control device 110 and housed in one board box 100 together with the MPU 201, ROM 202 and the like. As a result, it is difficult for a fraudulent person to alter the winning information or the like input to the role product ratio management chip 207 . It is also difficult to falsify or delete the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio recorded in the character product ratio management chip 207 . Therefore, high reliability can be maintained for the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio calculated and output by the character product ratio management chip 207 .

In addition, the character object ratio management chip 207 is provided with a first reading memory 263 and a second reading memory 264. Based on the number of winning balls for each winning hole counted in , the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio are calculated and recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . Here, the second read/write memory 264 is composed of a non-volatile memory, but in general, non-volatile memory requires a large amount of power for writing, takes a long time to write, and is not durable from the viewpoint of durability. There is a limit on the number of writes. In this embodiment, the first reading memory 263 composed of a volatile memory and the second reading memory 264 composed of a non-volatile memory are separated. By performing the processing of counting and storing the number of winning balls for each winning opening at high speed, it is possible to count the winning balls in each winning opening without fail. Then, later, from the number of winning balls for each winning hole stored in the first reading memory 263, the process of calculating the role ratio and the continuous role ratio and recording them in the second reading memory 264 is performed at a predetermined timing ( Trigger), the number of times of writing to the second read/write memory 264 can be reduced, so it is possible to suppress the above-mentioned problems caused by the non-volatile memory.

A third pattern display device 81 is connected to the output side of the output port 238 . Note that even if the pachinko machine 10 is a different model with different jackpot lottery probabilities and the number of prize balls paid out per jackpot, there are models with exactly the same specifications for the pattern configuration displayed on the third pattern display device 81. Therefore, the display control device 114 is made a common component to reduce the cost.

The MPU 231 of the display control device 114 controls the display contents of the third symbol display device 81 based on the display variation pattern command output from the sound lamp control device 113 and other various commands. The ROM 232 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the MPU 231 and fixed value data.

The processing of the MPU 201 can be broadly classified into startup processing that is started when the power is turned on, main processing that is executed after the startup processing, and startup processing that is started periodically (in this embodiment, at intervals of 2 milliseconds). There is a timer interrupt process and an NMI interrupt process activated by input of the power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal. Here, for convenience of explanation, the timer interrupt processing and the NMI interrupt processing will be explained first, and then the start-up processing and main processing will be explained.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing timer interrupt processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 . The timer interrupt processing is periodic processing that is repeatedly executed, for example, every 2 milliseconds. The MPU 201 executes this timer interrupt processing to perform various types of processing that should be executed periodically.

In this timer interrupt process, first, an external output process is executed (S101). In timer interrupt processing and main processing, based on various processing, commands to be transmitted to payout control device 111, sound lamp control device 113, etc. are generated, and temporarily stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in RAM 203. do. In the external output process of S101, output data such as commands stored in the ring buffer for command transmission is transmitted to each sub-side control device (peripheral control device).

For example, it transmits to the sound lamp control device 113 the pending ball number command set in the starting winning process (see FIG. 12). In addition, it transmits to the sound ramp controller 113 the variation pattern command, the stop type command, the confirmation command, etc. set in the variation process (see FIG. 13) and the variation start process (FIG. 14) which is one process of the variation process. In addition, a ball shooting signal set for shooting a ball in the process of S111, which will be described later, is transmitted to the shooting control device 112. FIG.

Next, the prize ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S102), and then the large winning opening (large open opening) 65a of the variable winning device 65 is opened or closed in the case of the jackpot state. A large-opening opening/closing process for opening the door is executed (S103). That is, the big winning hole 65a is opened for each round in the big winning state, and it is determined whether the maximum opening time of the big winning hole 65a has passed or whether a specified number of balls have won in the big winning hole 65a. Then, when any one of these conditions is established, the big winning opening 65a is closed. The opening and closing of the big winning opening 65a are repeated for a predetermined number of rounds.

Next, display control processing of a second symbol (for example, a symbol of "o" or "x") by the second symbol display device 83 is executed (S105). Briefly, on the condition that the ball has passed through the through gate 67, the value of the second winning random number counter C4 is obtained at the timing of the passage, and the second pattern display device 83 changes the second pattern. Display is performed. Then, a lottery for the second symbol is carried out according to the value of the second winning random number counter C4, and when the second symbol is in the winning state, the electric accessory associated with the second starting port 64b is opened for a predetermined period of time.

Next, a switch reading process is executed (S106). That is, it reads the states of various switches 208 connected to the main controller 110, determines the states of the switches, and saves detection information (winning detection information). Also, a winning ball command corresponding to the number of winning balls to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 is set in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203 based on the winning detection information. Thereby, the prize ball command is transmitted toward the payout control device 111 by the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next. Details of the switch reading process (S106) will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S107). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (899 in this embodiment). Then, the updated value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203 . Similarly, 1 is added to the second initial random number counter CINI2, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value (250 in this embodiment), it is cleared to 0, and the updated value of the second initial random number counter CINI2 is cleared. is stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203 .

Further, the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS1 and the second winning random number counter C4 are updated (S108). Specifically, the first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS1, and the second hit random number counter C4 are each incremented by 1, and their counter values are the maximum values. (899, 99, 99, 198, and 250 respectively in this embodiment) are cleared to 0 respectively. Also, when the first winning random number counter C1 or the second winning random number counter C4 completes one round, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 or the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is changed to the value of the first winning random number counter C1 or the second random number counter CINI2. The initial value of the second winning random number counter C4 is read, and the initial value is set to the first winning random number counter C1 or the second winning random number counter C4. Then, the updated values of the respective counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer areas of the RAM 203. FIG.

Next, a process for displaying by the first symbol display device 37 and a variation process for setting a variation pattern of the third symbol by the third symbol display device 81 are executed (S109), and then the first start port 64a. And the starting prize-winning process associated with the winning to any one of the second starting ports 64b is executed (S110). The details of the variation process will be described later with reference to FIG. 13, and the details of the starting winning process will be described later with reference to FIG.

After executing the starting prize-winning process, the firing control process is executed (S111), and further, other processes to be periodically executed are executed (S112), and the timer interrupt process ends. Note that the shooting control process is performed on the condition that the touch sensor 51a detects that the player is touching the operation handle 51 and that the stop switch 51b for stopping shooting is not operated. This is a process of determining on/off of the . Then, when the ball shooting is on, in order to send the ball shooting signal to the shooting control device 112, the information of the ball shooting signal is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. FIG. As a result, the ball firing signal is transmitted to the firing control device 112 via the payout control device 111 by the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next.

Further, the other processing (S112) includes processing for determining whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is in an error state. For example, in spite of the information of the ball launch signal being set in the process of S111, the ball guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the ball launched to the game area) is detected by the out switch 208f for a predetermined time or longer. If not, it is determined that there is a possibility of ball clogging and an error state exists. Also, when the abnormal payout signal is read in the process of S102, it is determined that the ball payout is in an error state. Furthermore, when it is determined that a large vibration is given to the pachinko machine 10 or a magnet is brought close to the pachinko machine 10, it is determined that there is a possibility that the game is fraudulent and that the game is in an error state. .

It should be noted that whether or not the pachinko machine 10 has been subjected to a large vibration is determined by providing the pachinko machine 10 with a vibration sensing sensor that senses vibration, and inputting the output of the vibration sensing sensor to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110. This is done by reading the output of the vibration sensor in the process of S112. In addition, whether or not a magnet has been brought close to the pachinko machine 10 is determined by providing a magnetism sensor for detecting changes in magnetism in the pachinko machine 10, and outputting the magnetism sensor output to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110. This is done by reading the output of the magnetic sensing sensor in the process of S112.

In the process of S112, if it is determined that an error state exists, an error command including information about the error type is set in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. FIG. As a result, an error command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next. Then, a warning sound corresponding to the error type can be output from the voice output device 226, the display lamp 34 can be lit and blinked, and an image corresponding to the error type can be displayed on the third pattern display device 81. .

Next, the switch reading process (S106), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing this switch reading process (S106).

In the switch reading process, first, the first start switch 208a, the second start switch 208b, the first normal winning switch 208c, the second normal winning switch 208d, the big winning switch 208e, and the out switch 208f. The output is read by referring to the first 1 port 205a, the first 2 port 205b, the general 1 port 205c, the general 2 port 205d, the big winning port 205e and the out port 205f of the input/output port 205, and the first starting port 64a, Detected information ( Winning detection information) is saved (S151). The winning of one ball and the determination of one ball guided to the ball discharge path are performed over three timer interrupt processes based on the outputs of the respective switches 208a to 208f.

Next, based on the winning detection information, it is determined that a prize has been won by the processing of S151 among the first starting port 64a, the second starting port 64b, the first normal winning port 63a, the second normal winning port 63b, and the big winning port 65a. If there is a determined winning hole, the number of won balls is adjusted so that the number of prize balls corresponding to the winning hole (that is, the number defined by the prize ball number table 202e) is paid out. A prize ball command is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 203 (S152). Thereby, the prize ball command is transmitted toward the payout control device 111 by the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next.

Then, based on the winning detection information, it is determined that a prize has been won by the processing of S151 among the first starting port 64a, the second starting port 64b, the first normal winning port 63a, the second normal winning port 63b, and the big winning port 65a. If there is a determined winning opening, the counter corresponding to the winning opening is set to 1 among the first 1 counter 203d, first 2 counter 203e, general 1 counter 203f, general 2 counter 203g, and big winning opening counter 203h. While counting up, if it is determined that there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path, the out counter 203i is incremented by 1 (S153).

Next, it is determined whether or not 0.5 seconds have passed since the winning information (the values of the counters 203d to 203i and information on the game state of the pachinko machine 10) was set to the role product ratio management chip 207 last time ( S154). As a result, if 0.5 seconds have not passed (S154: No), the switch reading process is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

On the other hand, if it is determined that 0.5 seconds have passed (S154: Yes), the processing of S155 to S157 is executed. First, in the process of S155, the values of the start 1 counter 203d, the start 2 counter 203e, the general 1 counter 203f, the general 2 counter 203g, and the big winning opening counter 203h are used as winning information, and the value of the out counter 203i is used as out information. It is set in the role ratio management chip 207 together with the game state of the pachinko machine 10 (S155).

As a result, the value of the start 1 counter 203d is set in the start 1 buffer 262a of the role product ratio management chip 207, the value of the start 2 counter 203e is set in the start 2 buffer 262b of the role product ratio management chip 207, and the general 1 counter is set. The value of 203f is set in the normal 1 buffer 262c of the prize ratio management chip 207, the value of the normal 2 counter 203g is set in the normal 2 buffer 262d of the prize ratio management chip 207, and the value of the big winning opening counter 203h is the role. The value of the out counter 203i is set in the out buffer 262f of the character ratio management chip 207.

In this way, the counters 203d to 203i continue to count the number of balls for 0.5 seconds. is set in the character product ratio management chip 207 as out information together with information indicating the game state at that time. That is, in the pachinko machine 10, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have entered each winning hole at intervals of 0.5 seconds, and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path ( That is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted, and the counted result is set in the role product ratio management chip 207 . As will be described later, the role product ratio management chip 207 accumulates these counted values for each value until the timing of calculating the role product ratio. Until the timing to calculate the product ratio, or from the previous calculation of the role ratio to the next timing to calculate the role ratio, the number of balls that won each prize hole Also, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted.

Suppose that the MPU 201 does not count the number of winning balls for each winning opening or the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). Assuming that these counts are performed only by the character ratio management chip 207, even with the character ratio management chip 207, the winning to each winning opening and the guidance to the ball discharge path are performed at short intervals (for example, 2 millisecond intervals). The sphere must be monitored, increasing the processing load and possibly increasing power consumption.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, the counting results of the MPU 201 are set in the character ratio management chip 207 at intervals of 0.5 seconds. In addition, between the time when the power is turned on and the time when the character ratio is calculated for the first time, or between the time when the character ratio was calculated last time and the time when the next character ratio is calculated. A process of counting the number of winning balls in each winning hole and counting the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) may be executed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in processing load and power consumption in the role product ratio management chip 207 .

On the other hand, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won in each winning hole, and also counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). Therefore, at intervals of 2 milliseconds when the timer interrupt processing is executed, the winning of each winning hole and the balls guided to the ball discharge path are monitored. It is necessary for the main control of the game such as prize ball determination, and is originally processed at a short time interval of 2 milliseconds. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, since the interval at which the balls are shot into the game area by the ball shooting unit 112a (see FIG. 5) is approximately 0.6 seconds, The number of winning balls and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (i.e., the number of balls used in the game) are 0 or 1 in most cases, and a few balls at most. Therefore, the amount of data required for the counters 203d to 203i provided in the RAM 203 may be small. Therefore, this counting process can suppress an increase in the capacity of the RAM 203 . Therefore, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have entered each winning hole for 0.5 seconds, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). (number of

The gaming state set by the process of S155 includes, for example, during a big win, during opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, and during an error. Whether the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open is determined by the MPU 201 referring to the door opening port 205g and confirming the output of the door opening switch 208g.

Further, whether or not the game state is in error is based on the result determined by the process of S112 of the timer interrupt process. In the processing of S155, when it is determined that the game is in the error state in the processing of S112, information indicating that the game state is in error is set in the role product ratio management chip 207. FIG.

When the game state set by the processing of S155 includes the state of being a jackpot, the jackpot information is stored in the buffer 262g during the jackpot. When the middle buffer 262h stores door open information and the game state includes an error, the error information is stored in the error buffer 262i. These pieces of information are finally recorded in the game state data 264 d of the second read/write memory 264 in the role product ratio management chip 207 . When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the information regarding the game state is transmitted to the inspection device 300 together with the information regarding the role product ratio. Therefore, when the inspection device 300 analyzes the character ratio of the pachinko machine 10 and finds an incomprehensible tendency in the character ratio, the inspection device 300 searches for the cause by referring to the information indicating the game state. can be done.

After the processing of S155, an interrupt signal is transmitted to the role product ratio management chip 207 (S156). Based on this interrupt signal, the character ratio management chip 207 executes setting information reception processing (see FIG. 19), which will be described later, and based on the various information set in the buffer 262, , the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls shot to the game area) is counted, the number of these balls is stored in the first reading memory 263, and the pachinko machine Information about ten game states is also stored in the first read/write memory 263 .

After the process of S156, the first 1 counter 203d, the first 2 counter 203e, the general 1 counter 203f, the general 2 counter 203g, the major prize winning opening counter 203h corresponding to each winning opening, and the out counter 203i corresponding to the out switch 208f are set to 0. is initialized (S157), the switch reading process is terminated, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process. When these counters 203d to 203i are initialized to 0 by the process of S157, the number of balls winning in each winning hole in the next 0.5 second is again counted by the counters 203d to 203h for each winning hole. Also, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game) is counted by the out-counter 203i.

In the process of S154, when this process is executed for the first time after power is supplied to the main controller 110, the winning prize information (the values of the counters 203d to 203i and the pachinko machine 10 game state information) is set, it is assumed that 0.5 seconds have passed (S154: Yes), and the process proceeds to S155. As a result, the number of balls that have won a prize in each winning hole detected before the power is turned off and the number of balls that have been guided to the ball discharge path are set in the character ratio management chip 207 when the power is turned off. The values of the respective counters 203d to 203i of the RAM 203, which have not been set, can be set in the role product ratio management chip 207 immediately after the power is supplied on condition that they are held even during the power failure. Therefore, in the role product ratio management chip 207, it is possible to suppress recording omission of winning information and out information due to power failure.

Next, the starting winning process (S110), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing the starting winning process (S110). In the start winning process, it is determined whether or not there is a ball entering either the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b (start winning). A process of storing (holding) the value of CS1 in the holding ball storage area 203b is executed. Further, the processing for transmitting the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 to be held together with the number of held balls to the sound lamp control device 113 is executed.

When the MPU 201 executes the starting winning process, first, it determines whether or not the ball has won the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b (starting winning) (S201). Here, by the processing of S151 of the switch reading process (see FIG. 11), the first start opening switch 208a that detects winning to the first starting opening 64a and the second starting switch 208a that detects winning to the second starting opening 64b The result of whether or not there is a winning to the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b, which is determined based on the output signal from the opening switch 208b, is utilized.

When it is determined that the ball has won the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b (there has been a starting prize) (S201: Yes), the value of the reserved ball number counter 203a It is determined whether or not the number of pending balls N of the variable effect that is present is less than the upper limit value (4 in this embodiment) (S202). Then, if there is no winning in either the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b (S201: No), or even if there is a winning in the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b If the number of held balls N<4 (S202: No), the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

On the other hand, if there is a winning to the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b (S201: Yes), and if the number of retained balls N<4 (S202: Yes), the value of the retained ball number counter 203a (retained 1 is added to the number of balls (N) (S203). Then, the values of the first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 are read from the counter buffer (see FIG. 7) and provided in the reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203. Among the reserved first to fourth areas, the first hit random number counter storage area 203b1, the first hit type counter storage area 203b2, and the stop pattern selection counter storage area of the area corresponding to the value indicated by the reserved ball number counter 203a 203b3 and the fluctuation type counter storage area 203b4 (S204).

Specifically, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a after the addition by the process of S203 is "1", the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are reserved in the respective storage areas of the first pending area. Also, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a after addition is "2", each storage area in the second pending area, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a after addition is "3", the third storage area If the value of the pending ball number counter 203a after addition is "4", the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are stored in the storage areas of the fourth pending area.

Next, the value of the retained ball number counter 203a after addition by the processing of S203 (the number of retained balls N), the first winning random number counter C1 stored (reserved) in the retained ball storage area 203b by the processing of S204, the first winning In order to transmit the pending ball number command including the respective values of the type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 to the sound lamp control device 113, the pending ball number command is stored in the RAM 203 for command transmission. It is set in the ring buffer (S205). As a result, the pending ball number command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

When the voice lamp control device 113 receives the reserved ball number command, it instructs the display control device 114 to display the reserved ball number pattern corresponding to the reserved ball number N in the reserved ball number display area Db (see FIG. 4). do. In addition, the voice ramp control device 113 uses the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the number-of-holds-balls command to read ahead before the variable performance based on the values is executed, and how the variable performance is executed. (Whether it will be a big hit or not, what will happen to the variable time, etc.) is determined before execution of the variable performance. Execution of various effects can be determined based on the result of judgment by the look-ahead.

In the process of S205, the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the number-of-holds-balls command may be the values read from the counter buffer in the process of S204. A value read out from the value stored (reserved) in 203b may be used.

After completing the process of S205, the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

Next, the variation process (S109), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing this variation process (S109). The variation processing (S109) controls the variation display in the first symbol display device 37 and the variation effect performed in the third symbol display device 81. FIG.

In this variation process, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is currently in progress (S301). During the big win includes the middle of the big win game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the first symbol display device 37 at the time of the big win and the middle of the predetermined time after the end of the big win game. As a result of determination, if the jackpot is in progress (S301: Yes), this process is terminated.

If the jackpot is not in progress (S301: No), it is determined whether or not the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is fluctuating (S302), and if the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is not fluctuating. (S302: No), then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed after the variable display on the first symbol display device 37 is stopped (S303). As a result, if the predetermined time has not passed after the fluctuation is stopped (S303: No), this process is terminated. As a result, the stop symbol in the variable effect is displayed on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 for a predetermined period of time, so that the player can visually recognize the stop symbol.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S303, if a predetermined time has passed after the fluctuation is stopped (S303: Yes), the value of the reserved ball number counter 203a (the number of held balls N of the variable display held in the main controller 110) is greater than 0 (S304). As a result, if the value of the pending ball number counter 203a (the pending ball number N) is not 0 (S304: Yes), it is determined that it is time to start executing the variable effect. The number of balls N) is subtracted by 1 (S305). This is because the variation start process (S307) starts the execution of one of the suspended variable effects, so that the number of suspended balls is reduced by one.

Next, shift processing is performed on the data stored in the reserved ball storage area 203b (S306). This data shift process is a process for sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth reserved areas of the reserved ball storage area 203b toward the reserved ball execution area 203c. The data in each area is shifted such as area 203c, reserved second area→reserved first area, reserved third area→reserved second area, reserved fourth area→reserved third area, and so on.

After the data shift process of S306, the variation start process for the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 is executed based on the values of various counters stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c by the data shift process. (S307), returning to timer interrupt processing. Note that the fluctuation start processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 14 .

In the processing of S304, when it is determined that the value of the number of reserved balls counter 203a (the number of reserved balls N) is 0 (S304: No), the third symbol display device 81 is in a state where a demonstration effect is being performed. It is determined whether or not, that is, whether or not a demonstration is being performed (S308). In this determination process, after the demonstration command is transmitted to the display control device 114 via the sound lamp control device 113, until it is determined that the value of the pending ball number counter 203a (the pending ball number N) is greater than 0 Identifies the interval as being in demonstration.

If it is determined that the demo is not in progress (S308: No), the demo command to be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 is set (S309), and the process returns to timer interrupt processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the demonstration is being performed (S309: Yes), the process returns to timer interrupt processing. The demo command set in the process of S309 is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 203, and the voice It is sent to the lamp control device 113 . When receiving the demonstration command, the sound lamp control device 113 instructs the display control device 114 to display the demonstration effect on the third pattern display device 81 .

Here, the demo command is set when, as described above, there is not even a single held ball when the predetermined time has passed after the fluctuation is stopped. Therefore, when the variable display is not started even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the variable stop, the third symbol display device 81 displays the demonstration effect.

If it is determined in the process of S308 that the demonstration is not being performed (S308: No), a process of determining whether or not a second predetermined time longer than the predetermined time has passed after the fluctuation is stopped is performed. After the fluctuation is stopped, the process of S309 may be executed to set the demonstration command when the second predetermined time has passed. Thus, when there is no reserved ball after the fluctuation is stopped, the stop pattern of the stopped fluctuation performance can be shown to the player for a relatively long time without immediately starting the demonstration performance.

In the processing of S302, when it is determined that the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is changing (S302: Yes), it is determined whether or not the change time has elapsed (S310). The display time during fluctuation of the first pattern display device 37 is determined according to the variation pattern selected by the variation type counter CS1 (determined according to the variation pattern command), and this variation time has elapsed. If not (S310: No), the display of the first symbol display device 37 is updated (S311), and the process returns to timer interrupt processing.

In this embodiment, among the LEDs 37a of the first pattern display device 37, from the start of the variation until the variation time elapses, for example, if the currently lit LED is red, the red LED is extinguished. At the same time, the green LED is lit, and if the green LED is lit, the green LED is extinguished and the blue LED is lit, and if the blue LED is lit, the blue LED is extinguished. At the same time, a display mode is set in which the red LED is turned on.

Note that the variation process is executed every 2 milliseconds, but if the lighting color of the LED is changed each time the variation process is executed, the player cannot confirm the change in the lighting color of the LED. Therefore, a counter (not shown) is counted by 1 each time the variation process is executed so that the player can confirm the change in the lighting color of the LED, and when the counter reaches 200, the LED change the lighting color of That is, the lighting color of the LED is changed every 0.4 seconds. Note that the value of the counter is reset to 0 when the lighting color of the LED is changed.

On the other hand, if the fluctuation time of the first symbol display device 37 has passed (S310: Yes), the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set for the first symbol display device 37 (S312). The stop symbols are set in advance by the variation start process (S307), which will be described later with reference to FIG. In the fluctuation start process, whether or not a big win is determined according to the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c by the process of S306. Depending on the value of , after the jackpot, the pattern will be a 15R variable jackpot (a variable jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds and then a high probability state after the jackpot) or a 2R variable jackpot (with a maximum number of rounds of 2 rounds after the jackpot and a high probability state). It is determined whether it is a pattern that will be a transitional variable jackpot) or a pattern that will be a 15R normal jackpot (a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a low probability state after the jackpot of 15 rounds).

In this embodiment, when the 15R probability variable jackpot is achieved after the jackpot, the blue LED is lit, when the 2R probability variable jackpot is achieved, the red LED is illuminated, and when the 15R normal jackpot is achieved, the red LED and the blue LED are lit. , and the LED of . In addition, when it is out, the red LED and the green LED are turned on. Each LED is turned off when the next variable display is started, but it may be turned on only for several seconds after the variable display is stopped.

When the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the process of S312, the stop symbol of the variable effect on the third symbol display device 81 is synchronized with the lighting of the LED on the first symbol display device 37. Then, a confirmation command is set (S313), and the process returns to the timer interrupt process. When the sound lamp control device 113 receives this confirmation command, it instructs the display control device 114 to stop the variable display of the third pattern in the third pattern display device 81 and to display the stop pattern. conduct.

Next, the fluctuation start process (S307), which is one process of the fluctuation process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the fluctuation start process (S307). In this fluctuation start process (S307), based on the values of various counters stored in the execution area of the reserved ball storage area, a "jackpot" or "loss" lottery (jackpot lottery) is performed, and the first symbol display device 37 And the effect pattern (variation pattern) of the variable effect performed by the third symbol display device 81 is determined.

In the fluctuation start process, first, a big hit is determined based on the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c and the big hit random number table 202a (see FIG. 8(a)). A lottery (win/fail judgment) process is performed (S401).

Whether or not it is a big win is determined based on the relationship between the value of the first winning random number counter C1 and the mode at that time. As described above, in the jackpot random number table 202a, when the game state (mode) that the pachinko machine 10 can take is in the normal low probability state, "7,307,582" is defined as the jackpot random number value. Further, when the game state (mode) that the pachinko machine 10 can take is in the high probability state, "28, 58, 85, 122, 144, 178, 213, 238, 276, 298, 322, 354, 390, 420 , 448, 486, 506, 534, 567, 596, 618, 656, 681, 716, 750, 772, 809, 836, 866, 892" are defined as jackpot random numbers.

In the processing of S401, the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in the execution area of the reserved ball storage area is compared with the jackpot random number value defined in the jackpot random number table 202a, and they match. In that case, it is determined to be a jackpot. As a result of the process of S401, when it is determined that it is a jackpot (S401: Yes), the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c and the jackpot type table 202b (FIG. 8(b) ), the display mode at the time of the big win is set (S402).

In this process, according to the jackpot type table 202b, the jackpot type associated with the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c, that is, the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds after the jackpot. A 15R variable jackpot that shifts to a 15R normal jackpot that shifts to a low probability state after a jackpot of 15 rounds with the maximum number of rounds, or a 2R variable jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after a jackpot of 2 rounds with the maximum number of rounds. be discriminated. Then, based on the determined jackpot type, the display mode (lighting state of the LED 37a) at the time of the jackpot in the first symbol display device 37 is set.

Further, in the third symbol display device 81, in order to stop and display various jackpot symbols corresponding to the jackpot types, the jackpot types (15R probability variable jackpot, 2R probability variable jackpot, 15R normal jackpot) are set as they are as stop types. The display mode at the time of the big hit in the 3-symbol display device 81 is set.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of the big hit is determined (S403), and the process proceeds to S406. Specifically, in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display in the display mode at the time of the big win is determined. In determining the variation pattern for the big win, first, the big win variation pattern table 202d1 (see FIG. 8(c)) to be used is selected according to the number of pending balls at that time indicated by the pending ball number counter 203a. Then, in the process of S402, when the 15R probability variable jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot is set as the jackpot type, it is stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c in the group of "15R jackpot common" of the selected jackpot variation pattern table 202d1. Select the variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1. That is, in this case, one of variation A, variation B, and variation C is selected.

In addition, when the 2R probability variable jackpot is set as the jackpot type in the process of S402, the variation type stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c in the group "only for 2R probability variable jackpot" of the selected jackpot variation pattern table 202d1 A variation pattern associated with the value of the counter CS1 is selected. In the present embodiment, only the 2R variation is selected in this case. Note that the relationship between the variation patterns (variation A, variation B, variation C, and 2R variation) and variation time is defined in advance by a table or the like.

On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S401 that it is not a big hit (S401: No), the display mode when the win is out is set (S404). In the process of S404, the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is set to the display mode corresponding to the lost symbol, and based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c, the third As the stop type to be displayed on the symbol display device 81, any one of front-rear out-of-reach reach, front-rear out-of-reach without reach, and complete out-of-order is set. In this embodiment, as described above, depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is the high-probability state or the low-probability state, the value range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to each stop type is Tables are set differently.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of deviation is determined (S405), and the process proceeds to S406. Specifically, in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81, the variation time until stop display of the lost symbol is determined. At this time, when the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is in the normal low probability state excluding the time-saving state, the deviation (normal) variation pattern table corresponding to the number of reserved balls at that time indicated by the number of reserved balls counter 203a. 202d2 (see FIG. 8(d)) is selected. In addition, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is in the time-saving state or the high-probability state at the time of probability variation, the deviation (probability variation) variation pattern table 202d3 ( (see FIG. 8(e)) is selected.

Then, when complete deviation is set as the stop type in the processing of S404, the suspension A variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the ball execution area 203c is selected. That is, in this case, variation D or variation E is selected.

In addition, in the processing of S402, when front-rear out-of-reach reach and reach other than front-rear out-of-order reach are set as the stop type, "common reach" of the selected deviation (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 or deviation (probability variation) variation pattern table 202d3 group, the variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 203c is selected. That is, in this case, variation A, variation B, and variation C are selected. Then, the variation time is set based on the relationship between the variation pattern and the variation time defined in advance by a table or the like.

In the processing of S406, based on the variation pattern determined by the processing of S403 and S405, a variation pattern command for notifying the variation pattern to the display control device 114 via the sound lamp control device 113 is set (S406). Also, a stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the stop type set in the processing of S402 or S404 via the sound lamp control device 113 is set (S415), and the process returns to the change processing. These fluctuation pattern commands and stop type commands are stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 203, and these commands are voiced in the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing (FIG. It is sent to the lamp controller 113 . Upon receiving the variation pattern command and the stop type command, the audio ramp control device 113 generates a display variation pattern command and a display type command based thereon, and transmits them to the display control device 114 .

FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing NMI interrupt processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 . The NMI interrupt process is a process executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the pachinko machine 10 is powered off due to power failure or the like. By this NMI interrupt processing, information on occurrence of power failure is stored in the RAM 203 . That is, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered off due to a power failure or the like, a power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 . Then, the MPU 201 interrupts the control being executed, starts the NMI interrupt processing, stores the power interruption occurrence information in the RAM 203 as the setting of the power interruption occurrence information (S501), and ends the NMI interruption processing. do.

Incidentally, the above NMI interrupt processing is also executed in the payout control device 111 in the same manner, and information on occurrence of power failure is stored in the RAM 213 by such NMI interrupt processing. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off due to a power failure or the like, a power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 211 in the payout control device 111, and the MPU 211 interrupts the control being executed. Then, NMI interrupt processing is started.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, startup processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 when main controller 110 is powered on will be described. FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing this startup process. This start-up process is started by a reset when the power is turned on. In the start-up process, first, an initial setting process is executed upon power-on (S601). For example, a predetermined value is set in the stack pointer. Next, in order to wait for the sub-side control devices (peripheral control devices such as the sound lamp control device 113 and the payout control device 111) to become operable, a wait process (one second in this embodiment) is executed. (S602). Then, access to the RAM 203 is permitted (S603).

After that, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3) provided in the power supply 115 is turned on (S604), and if it is turned on (S604: Yes), the process proceeds to S614. On the other hand, if the RAM erasing switch 122 is not turned on (S604: No), it is further determined whether or not power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S605), and if not stored (S605: No). , there is a possibility that the process at the time of the previous power shutdown did not end normally, so in this case as well, the process proceeds to S614.

If power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S605: Yes), the RAM determination value is calculated (S606). If the judgment value does not match the RAM judgment value saved at the time of power shutdown, the backed-up data is destroyed.

Note that the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the work area address of the RAM 203, as will be described later in the processing of S706 in FIG. Instead of the RAM determination value, the validity of the backup may be determined based on whether or not the keyword written in the predetermined area of the RAM 203 is correctly saved.

In the processing of S614, a payout initialization command is transmitted in order to initialize the payout control device 111, which is a sub-side control device (peripheral control device) (S614). When the payout control device 111 receives this payout initialization command, it clears the area (work area) other than the stack area of the RAM 203, sets the initial value, and becomes ready to start the game ball payout control. After transmitting the payout initialization command, main controller 110 executes the initialization process of RAM 203 (S615, S616).

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed when the RAM data is initialized when the power is turned on, such as when the hall starts operating. Therefore, if the RAM erasing switch 122 is pressed during the start-up process, the RAM initialization process (S615, S616) is executed. Also, if power failure occurrence information is not set, or if a backup abnormality is confirmed by the RAM determination value (checksum value, etc.), the RAM 203 initialization process (S615, S616) is executed in the same way. . In the RAM initialization process (S615, S616), the used area of the RAM 203 is cleared to 0 (S615), and then the initial value is set in the RAM 203 (S616). After executing the initialization process of the RAM 203, the process proceeds to S610.

On the other hand, if the RAM erasing switch 122 is not turned on (S604: No), power failure occurrence information is stored (S605: Yes), and the RAM determination value (checksum value, etc.) is normal ( S607: Yes), while retaining the data backed up in the RAM 203, clear the power failure occurrence information (S608). Then, a payout return command at the time of power recovery for returning the sub-side control device (peripheral control device) to the game state at the time of drive power interruption is transmitted (S609), and the process proceeds to S610. When the payout control device 111 receives this payout return command, the game ball payout control can be started while retaining the data stored in the RAM 213 .

In the processing of S610, an initialization signal is transmitted to the role product ratio management chip 207 (S610). Accordingly, upon receiving the initialization signal, the character object ratio management chip 207 executes initialization processing such as initializing all the buffer 262 and the first read/write memory 263 to 0 (S711 in FIG. 18), The character product ratio management chip 207 is initialized so that the character product ratio can be managed.

Next, the information of the number-of-balls table 202e is transmitted to the role-ratio management chip 207 (S611). As a result, the prize ball number table 202e is set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a in the character ratio management chip 207, and each prize when a prize is won in each prize opening indicated by the prize ball number table 202e. Based on the number of balls, the character ratio and continuous character ratio of the pachinko machine 10 are calculated.

Here, the number of prize balls for each winning hole is determined by the model of the pachinko machine, and the information is stored in the ROM 202 conventionally. Information on the number of prize balls is transmitted from the number of prize balls table 202e stored in the ROM 202 to the role ratio management chip 207 each time power is supplied, and the number of prize balls data setting area of the prize ratio management chip 207 is transmitted. 265a, there is no need to store information on the number of prize balls that differs for each model in the ROM of the character ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the production of the character product ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. Further, when the pachinko machine models are different, it is only necessary to change the ROM 202, and even if the pachinko machines of different models use the same role product ratio management chip 207, the role product ratio can be calculated accurately.

Next, the information of the trigger information data 202f is transmitted to the role product ratio management chip 207 (S612). Thus, in the role ratio management chip 207, the trigger information data 202f is set in the trigger setting area 265b, and when the timing (trigger) for calculating the role ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f comes, the pachinko machine 10 character ratio and continuous character ratio are calculated.

Here, the timing (trigger) of the calculation of the character ratio management chip 207 is determined by the character ratio management chip 207 because there is a physical limit to the storage capacity of the character ratio management chip 207 that can record the information on the character ratio management chip 207. It is preferable that the timing is not fixed, but that the jackpot probability, probability variation rate, etc. in the pachinko machine 10 are taken into consideration. As in the pachinko machine 10, the trigger information data 202f that defines the timing of calculating the character ratio determined in consideration of the jackpot probability, probability variation ratio, etc. in the pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 202, and the power is supplied. Each time the trigger information data 202f is sent to the ROM 202 to the role product ratio management chip 207, the role product ratio management chip 207 receives the role product at the timing that matches the jackpot probability and probability variation ratio of the pachinko machine 10. It is possible to calculate the ratio and the continuous character product ratio and record it in the second read/write memory 264 .

After the processing of S612, the interrupt is permitted (S613). Then, the process shifts to the main process, which will be described later.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, main processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 after the startup processing described above will be described. FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing this main process. This main process is roughly divided into a counter update process and a power-off process.

In the main process, it is determined whether or not power-off occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S701). If the RAM 203 does not store power failure occurrence information (S701: No), the power failure signal SG1 is not output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252, and the power is not shut off. Therefore, in such a case, updating of the first initial value random number counter CINI1, the second initial value random number counter CINI2, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 is repeatedly executed (S702, S703).

First, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S702). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (899, 250 in this embodiment). . Then, the updated values of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer areas of the RAM 203, respectively. Next, the fluctuation type counter CS1 is updated (S703) by the same method as the process of S108 (see FIG. 10), and the process proceeds to S701.

Here, while this main process is being executed, the timer interrupt process described with reference to FIG. 10 is activated and executed at predetermined time intervals (2 milliseconds in this embodiment). In the timer interrupt process, different processes are executed according to the state of the game. For example, during the big win, the opening and closing of the big winning opening 65a is controlled, and if the ball passes through the through gate 67, the display control of the second symbol by the second symbol display device 83 is performed. In addition, in the jackpot lottery executed when the variable display on the first pattern display device 37 is started, the number of jackpot random numbers to be compared with the obtained first hit random number counter C1 depending on whether it is in a high probability state or a low probability state. is different. Therefore, the time taken to execute one timer interrupt process changes according to the state of the game. Therefore, the remaining time from the end of one timer interrupt process to the execution timing of the next timer interrupt process is not constant, but changes according to the state of the game at that time.

The processes of S702 and S703, which are one process of the main process, are executed during the remaining time of this timer interrupt process. That is, the remaining time is used to repeatedly update the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2. The counter CINI2 (that is, the initial value of the first winning random number counter C1 and the initial value of the second winning random number counter C4) can be randomly updated, and similarly the fluctuation type counter CS1 can be updated randomly. . In particular, by randomly updating the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2, the first winning random number counter C1 and the second winning random number counter C4 using these as initial values for updating are updated. can have randomness.

In the process of S701, if the RAM 203 stores power failure occurrence information (S701: Yes), the power is shut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the power is turned off, and the power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252. , the NMI interrupt process of FIG. 15 has been executed, so the power-off process after S704 is executed. First, the occurrence of each interrupt process is prohibited (S704), and a power-off command indicating that the power has been cut off is sent to other control devices (peripheral control devices such as the payout control device 111 and the sound lamp control device 113) In addition, power-off information is transmitted to the role-product ratio management chip 207 (S705). Then, a RAM determination value is calculated and stored (S706), access to the RAM 203 is prohibited (S707), and the infinite loop continues until the power supply is completely cut off and processing cannot be executed. Here, the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the backed up stack area and work area of the RAM 203 .

Note that the process of S701 is executed at the timing when one cycle of the processes of S702 and S703 performed within the remaining time of the timer interrupt process ends. As a result, in the main processing of the main controller 110, at the timing when various settings by the timer interrupt processing are finished and when the counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 are finished updating, information on occurrence of power failure is confirmed. . Therefore, when returning from the power-off state, the process can be started from the process of S701 after the start-up process is completed. That is, the process can be started from the process of S701, as in the case of initialization in the start-up process.

Therefore, even if the contents of each register used by the MPU 201 are not saved in the stack area or the value of the stack pointer is not saved in the processing when the power is turned off, the stack pointer is saved in the initialization processing (S601). By setting to a predetermined value (initial value), the process of S701 can be started. As a result, the control load on main controller 110 can be reduced, and accurate control can be performed without malfunction or runaway of main controller 110 .

In the present embodiment, a case has been described in which a process to be executed periodically is executed by timer interrupt processing, and the counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 are updated in the remaining time of the timer interrupt processing in the main processing. A part or all of the processing executed in the timer interrupt processing may be configured to be executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) in the main processing. For example, in the present embodiment, the timer interrupt processing was executed by the timer interrupt processing, read processing (S102), large open mouth opening and closing processing (S103), second pattern control processing (S105) and switch reading A part or all of the process (S106) may be configured to be executed every 2 milliseconds in the main process instead of the timer interrupt process.

In this case, a step for determining whether or not a predetermined time (2 milliseconds) has elapsed is provided in the main processing, and only when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the processing to be executed at predetermined time intervals is executed. The counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 may be updated regardless of whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. As a result, each of the counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 is updated during the remaining time of the processing executed every predetermined time. Since the time required for the counters CINI1, CINI2, and CS1 can be updated at random even with such a configuration.

Next, each control process executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 22. FIG. The processing of the CPU 261 can be broadly divided into main processing for managing the ratio of characters and items, which is started when the power is turned on, and reception of setting information, which is executed based on an interrupt signal received from the MPU 201 after winning information is set by the MPU 201. processing, and inspection result output processing that is executed based on the fact that the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a.

First, with reference to FIG. 18, the role product ratio management main processing executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 will be described. FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing this role product ratio management main process. This role product ratio management main process is started when power is supplied to the role product ratio management chip 207 .

When the role product ratio management main process is executed, it is first determined whether or not an initialization signal has been received from the MPU 201 (S710). While it is determined that the initialization signal has not been received (S710: No), the determination of S710 is continued. Then, if it is determined that the initialization signal has been received (S710: Yes), the process proceeds to S711 and initialization is performed (S711). As a result, in the character product ratio management chip 207, the initial setting of the character product ratio management chip 207 is executed after at least the initialization of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 is completed and the game control by the MPU 201 can be started. will do.

In the initial setting of S711, when starting the operation of the character product ratio management chip 207, each device in the character product ratio management chip 207 is initialized. For example, the buffer 262 and the first read/write memory 263 are all initialized to zero. As a result, in the buffer 262, even if there is a buffer that is not set by the MPU 201 for each of the buffers 262a to 262i, meaningless data can be prevented from remaining in the buffer, and the meaningless data can be prevented from remaining in the buffer. Storage in the memory 263 can be prevented. In addition, in the first read/write memory 263, the number of balls that have won a prize in each winning hole and guidance to the ball discharge path are displayed from when the power is supplied to the role ratio management chip 207 to when the timing for calculating the role ratio is reached. It is possible to accumulatively count the number of balls hit (that is, the number of balls shot into the game area), and to store information about the game state during that time.

Next, it is determined whether or not the information of the number-of-balls table 202e has been received from the MPU 201 (S712). And while it is not received (S712:No), the process of S712 is continued and performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been received (S712: Yes), the received ball number table 202e is set in the ball number data setting area 265a (S713). As a result, the prize ball number table 202e is set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a in the character ratio management chip 207, and each prize when a prize is won in each prize opening indicated by the prize ball number table 202e. Based on the number of balls, the character ratio and continuous character ratio of the pachinko machine 10 are calculated.

Next, it is determined whether or not information of the trigger information data 202f has been received from the MPU 201 (S714). And while it is not received (S714:No), the process of S714 is continued and performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been received (S714: Yes), the received trigger information data 202f is set in the trigger setting area 265b. As a result, in the role ratio management chip 207, when the timing (trigger) for calculating the role ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b comes, the ratio of the pachinko machine 10 and the A continuous character ratio is calculated.

In this way, only the prize ball table 202e and the trigger information data 202f, which are transmitted during the start-up process (so-called boot process) executed by the MPU 201 when the main controller 110 is powered on, It is configured to be set in a number data setting area 265a and a trigger setting area 265b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent person from setting a false winning ball table or trigger information data in the winning ball number data setting area 265a and the trigger setting area 265b.

Next, when the processing of S710 to S715 is completed, interrupt permission is set (S716). As a result, when an interrupt signal transmitted from the MPU 201 after winning information and the like are set is received, the setting information reception process is executed, and an interrupt signal is generated based on the connection of the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a. An interrupt signal causes inspection result output processing to be executed.

When the interrupt signal is input at the same time, the setting information reception process is executed with priority over the inspection result output process. As a result, the latest winning information, out information, and information about the game state input from the MPU 201 are accumulated and stored in the role ratio management chip 207, and information such as the role ratio is transmitted to the inspection device 300. Therefore, analysis by the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed including the latest information. On the other hand, when interrupt signals are input at the same time, inspection result output processing may be executed with priority over inspection apparatus output processing. In this case, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, it is possible to transmit the information regarding the role item ratio and the like to the inspection device 300. FIG.

Next, it is determined whether power-off information has been received from the MPU 201 (S717), and S717 is continuously executed unless power-off information is received (S717: No). Further, during this time, when the CPU 261 receives an interrupt signal from the MPU 201, the setting information reception process is executed prior to the process of S717, and an interrupt generated based on the connection of the inspection device 300 to the inspection terminal 207a is executed. When the input signal is received, inspection result output processing is executed.

As a result of the process of S717, when the power interruption information is received (S717: Yes), the power supply to the main controller 110 (character product ratio management chip 207) is cut off due to power failure or the like. Therefore, the role product ratio calculation process is executed (S718), and the infinite loop is continued until the power supply is completely cut off and the process cannot be executed. Details of the role product ratio calculation process will be described later with reference to FIG. 21 .

Next, setting information reception processing executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. FIG. FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing this setting information reception process. This setting information receiving process is executed based on an interrupt signal received from the MPU 201 after winning information and the like are set by the MPU 201 .

The setting information reception process includes the winning information set in each buffer 262a to 262e by the MPU 201 (each value of the first 1 counter 203d, the first 2 counter 203e, the general 1 counter 203f, the general 2 counter 203g, and the big winning opening counter 203h) and This is a process of storing in the first reading memory 263 the out information (value of the out counter 203i) set in the out buffer 262f and the gaming state set in each of the buffers 262g to 262i. Further, when it is time to calculate the role ratio, it calculates the role ratio and the continuous role ratio based on the respective counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263, and provides data regarding the number of shot balls and the game state. Together with this, a process of recording in the second read/write memory 264 is also performed.

First, refer to FIG. In the setting information reception process, first, it is determined whether or not there is door open information in the open buffer 262h (S720). If the opening buffer 262h contains door opening information (S720: Yes), the opening data 263h is set (added and stored) together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 ( S721).

If it is determined by the process of S720 that there is no door open information in the open buffer 262h (S720: No), and after the process of S721, then whether or not there is error information in the error buffer 262i (S722). If there is error information in the error buffer 262i (S722: Yes), the error information is set (added and stored) in the error data 263i together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S723). .

If it is determined by the process of S722 that there is no error information in the error buffer 262i (S722: No), and after the process of S723, then the current time indicated by the RTC 266 is the midnight time zone (midnight 0 to 6:00 in the morning) (S724). Since the late-night hours are usually outside business hours, the fact that an interrupt signal was transmitted from the MPU 201 during the late-night hours and the setting information reception process was executed means that some kind of fraudulent act occurred during the late-night hours. It is also thought that Therefore, when it is determined that it is the late-night time zone by the processing of S724 (S724: Yes), in order to leave a record of that fact, the after-hours information is added to the after-hours data 263j at the current time indicated by the RTC 266. It is set (added and stored) together with the time (S725).

When it is determined that it is not the midnight time zone by the process of S724 (S724: No), and after the process of S725, it is then determined whether or not there is big win information in the buffer 262g during the big win (S726). If there is jackpot information in the jackpot buffer 262g (S726: Yes), the jackpot information is set (additionally stored) in the jackpot data 263g together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S727).

When it is determined that there is no jackpot information in the buffer 262g during the jackpot by the processing of S726 (S726: No), and after the processing of S727, the buffers 262a to 262f corresponding to the winning openings and the out switch 208f are set. The values obtained are added to the corresponding counters 263a to 263f of the first read/write memory 263 (S728).

Specifically, the value set in the first buffer 262a corresponding to the first starting hole 64a (that is, the number of balls winning the first starting hole 64a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the first counter 263a. As a result, the number of balls entering the first starting port 64a is accumulated in the first counter 263a. The value set in the start 2 buffer 262b corresponding to the second start port 64b (that is, the number of balls winning the second start port 64b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the start 2 counter 263b. As a result, the number of balls that have entered the second starting port 64b is accumulated in the first 2 counter 263b.

The value set in the general 1 buffer 262c corresponding to the first normal winning opening 63a (that is, the number of balls winning the first normal winning opening 63a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the general 1 counter 263c. As a result, the number of balls that have entered the first normal winning hole 63a is accumulated in the normal 1 counter 263c. The value set in the normal 2 buffer 262d corresponding to the second normal winning opening 63b (that is, the number of balls winning the second normal winning opening 63b for 0.5 seconds) is added to the normal 2 counter 263d. As a result, the number of balls that have entered the second normal winning hole 63b is accumulated in the normal 2 counter 263d. The value set in the big winning hole buffer 262e corresponding to the big winning hole 65a (that is, the number of balls winning the big winning hole 65a for 0.5 seconds) is added to the big winning hole counter 263e. As a result, the number of balls that have entered the big winning hole 65a is accumulated in the big winning hole counter 263e.

The counters 263a to 264f and the data 263g to 264j of the first read/write memory 263 store the initial setting process (see FIG. 18) executed when power is supplied to the role ratio management chip 207 and the role ratio. It is initialized to 0 in S744 (see FIG. 21), which will be described later, which is executed when the timing for calculation comes. As a result, in the first read/write memory 263, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is accumulated and temporarily stored again until the next timing for calculating the character product ratio. .

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the description of the setting information winning process will be continued. After the process of S728, the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is referred to (S729). Then, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the character ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is the "number of shots" (S729: "number of shots"), the value of the out counter 263f (that is, the game It is determined whether or not the number of balls shot into the area) is greater than or equal to the "predetermined number of balls" (set value) included in the trigger information data 202f (S730). When the value of the out-counter 263f is equal to or greater than the "predetermined number of balls" (S730: Yes), it is determined that the timing for calculating the role ratio is reached, and the role ratio calculation process is executed (S733). , S734. Details of the role product ratio calculation process will be described later with reference to FIG. 21 . On the other hand, if the value of the out-counter 263f is not equal to or greater than the "predetermined number of balls" (S730: No), the process proceeds directly to S734.

By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the character ratio by the number of shot balls, it is possible to calculate the character ratio and the continuous character ratio when a predetermined ball is always shot. Therefore, since it is possible to calculate the role ratio and the continuous role ratio at the stage where many balls enter various winning slots and the prize balls are played, the averaged role ratio and the continuous role ratio can be calculated. can. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate fluctuations in the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in a short period of time in a normal game, so that the inspection device 300 can more easily analyze cheating.

In the process of S729, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the character product ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is "time" (S729: "time"), the current time indicated by the RTC 266 is , whether or not the "predetermined time" (set value) included in the trigger information data 202f has been reached (S731). Here, being reached includes not only the case where the current time indicated by the RTC 266 matches the "predetermined time" but also the case where the "predetermined time" has passed for the first time.

If it is determined by the process of S731 that the current time indicated by the RTC 266 has reached the "predetermined time" (S731: Yes), it is determined that it is time to calculate the character ratio. Then, the role product ratio calculation process is executed (S733), and the process proceeds to S734. On the other hand, if the current time indicated by the RTC 266 has not reached the "predetermined time" (S731: No), the process proceeds directly to S734.

By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the role ratio according to the current time, the role ratio is reliably calculated by the arrival of the predetermined time even under the condition that the pachinko machine 10 does not play many games. And the continuous accessory ratio can be calculated. Therefore, it is possible to cause the inspection device 300 to reliably analyze whether or not there is fraudulent activity based on the reliably calculated role product ratio and continuous role product ratio.

In the process of S729, when the trigger (timing) for calculating the role product ratio indicated by the trigger information data 202f is "game time" (S729: "game time"), the player at the pachinko machine 10 It is determined whether or not the cumulative time (game time) during which the game has been played has reached or exceeded the "predetermined time" included in the trigger information data 202f (S732).

Here, the game time can be calculated, for example, by the following method. That is, a game time counter is provided in the first read/write memory 263 . The game time counter, like other counters and data stored in the first read/write memory 263, undergoes an initial setting process (see FIG. 18) executed when power is supplied to the character product ratio management chip 207, It is initialized to 0 in S744 (see FIG. 21), which will be described later, when the timing for calculating the character ratio has come. Then, in the setting information receiving process, the value of the out buffer 262f is checked, and when a value of 1 or more is set, the ball guided to the ball discharge path is detected, that is, the ball is in the game area. Since it means that it has been fired, the game time counter is incremented by one. The setting information reception counter is activated by an interrupt signal transmitted from the MPU 201 at intervals of 0.5 seconds. Therefore, the game time can be calculated by adding 0.5 seconds to the value of the game time counter.

When it is determined that the game time has reached the "predetermined time" or more by the process of S732 (S732: Yes), it is determined that the timing for calculating the role ratio is reached, and the role ratio calculation process is executed. (S733), the process proceeds to S734. On the other hand, if the game time is less than the "predetermined time" (S731: No), the process proceeds directly to S734.

The accessory ratio and the continuous accessory ratio are originally calculated by performing a trial shooting test of game balls for 10 hours. By defining the trigger (timing) for calculating the role ratio according to the game time, the role ratio and the continuous role ratio that are close to the original definition can be calculated by the role ratio management chip. Analysis can be performed using the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio that are close to the original definitions.

In the process of S734, the buffer 262 is initialized to all 0 (S734). As a result, even if there are buffers that are not set for the buffers 262a to 262i in the next setting of winning information, out information and game information from the MPU 201, it is possible to prevent meaningless data from remaining in the buffers. It is possible to prevent the meaningless data from being stored in the first read/write memory 263 . After the process of S734, the setting information reception process is terminated.

Next, the role product ratio calculation processing (S718, S733) executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing this role product ratio calculation process. The character ratio calculation process is a process of calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio from the information stored in the first reading memory 263 and recording it in the second reading memory 264. The timing of calculating the character ratio ( trigger) (see FIG. 20), and also when the power is turned off (see FIG. 18).

In the role product ratio calculation process, first, the role product ratio is calculated from the values of the counters 263a to 263f stored in the first reading memory 263, and the current time indicated by the RTC 266 is added to the role product ratio data 264a. (S740). Next, the continuous role product ratio is calculated from the values of the counters 263a to 263f stored in the first read/write memory 263, and is added to the continuous role product ratio data 264b and recorded together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S741). ).

The role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are calculated as follows. That is, the number of balls that have won the first starting hole 64a indicated by the first counter 263a stored in the first reading memory 263, and the number of balls that have won the second starting hole 64b indicated by the first counter 263b. , the number of balls that have won the first normal winning opening 63a indicated by the normal 1 counter 263c, the number of balls that have won the second normal winning opening 63b indicated by the normal 2 counter 263d, and the number of winning balls indicated by the big winning opening counter 263e. The prize associated with each winning hole shown in the prize ball number table 202e (see FIG. 9) set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a By multiplying the number of balls, the number of balls paid out for each winning hole is calculated as a result of winning the winning hole. Then, by summing these, the total number of balls paid out to the player is calculated.

The total number of balls paid out to the player is divided into the number of balls paid out with winning in the second starting hole 64b and the number of balls paid out with winning in the big winning hole 65a. By calculating the ratio of the number and the total, the role ratio is calculated. Further, the continuous accessory ratio is calculated by calculating the ratio of the number of balls paid out accompanying the winning to the big winning opening 65a to the total number of balls paid out to the player.

Originally, the role ratio and the continuous role ratio refer to the above ratios in the case where the test shooting test of the game ball is performed for 10 hours, but in this embodiment, the trigger information data set in the trigger setting area 265b For each timing (trigger) for calculating the role product ratio shown in 202f, the player receives a signal from the time the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time, or from the previous timing to the current timing. The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with winning to the second starting port 64b and the big winning port 65a to the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out is calculated as the role ratio. is recorded in the role product ratio data 264a together with the time at that time. Also, the total number of balls (prize balls) paid out to the player from the time the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time, or from the previous timing to the current timing. The ratio of the number of balls (prize balls) paid out with winning to the mouth 65a is calculated as the continuous role ratio, and recorded in the continuous role ratio data 264b together with the time at that time.

In addition, even when the power is cut off, the power charged in the capacitor 267 is used to pay out from the timing (trigger) of calculating the most recent role product ratio until the power is cut off. Based on the number of balls won (prize balls), the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded in the character ratio data 264a or the continuous character ratio data 264b together with the time at that time. . As a result, after the character ratio and the continuous character ratio are calculated and recorded, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio can be obtained without omission even with respect to the number of prize balls paid out before the power is turned off. A ratio can be calculated.

Next, the value of the out-counter 263f indicating the total number of balls shot into the game area is added to the shot ball number data 264c and recorded together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 (S742). Furthermore, various jackpot information, door open information, error information, and overtime information stored in the jackpot data 263g, opening data 263h, error data 263i, and overtime data 263j are associated with each piece of information. The time (the time when the information was stored) is arranged (sorted) in order from the oldest time information, and added to the game state data 264d and recorded (S743).

In the process of S743, for example, if the jackpot information is stored in the jackpot data 263g at intervals of less than one second, it means that the jackpot is continuously occurring as the game state, so the oldest time Only the jackpot information and its time are recorded in the game state data 264d. Similarly, for the door open information, error information, and overtime information, if each information is stored in each data 263h to j at intervals of less than 1 second, the oldest time information and the time is recorded in the game state data 264d. As a result, the storage capacity required for the game state data 264d can be reduced.

As described above, when the character ratio management chip 207 receives the winning information, the out information, and the information about the game state from the MPU 201, the first reading memory 263 accumulates and temporarily stores these information, Each time the timing (trigger) for calculating the character product ratio is reached, the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio are calculated based on the information stored in the first reading memory 263, and added to the second reading memory 264. Record. This makes it possible to manage the role product ratio and the like with a small storage capacity and to transmit information on the role product ratio and the like to the inspection device 300 .

In addition, the second reading memory 264 also stores the times when they were recorded in the second reading memory 264 with respect to the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio. Further, in the second reading memory 264, not only the character ratio and the consecutive character ratio, but also information indicating the total number of balls shot into the game area is recorded in the second reading memory 264 and the time when the information is recorded in the second reading memory 264. In addition, information on the game state (jackpot information, door opening information, error information, overtime information) is recorded together with the time when each information was stored in the first reading memory 263 and stored in the second reading memory. H.264. Therefore, as a result of analyzing the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the inspection device 300, if there is a large change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, the changed character ratio or the continuous character ratio By analyzing the total number of balls shot into the game area and the game state around the time recorded in the second reading memory 264, the cause of the change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio can be investigated.

Here, the information on the character ratio, the continuous character ratio, and the total number of balls shot into the game area that can be recorded in the character ratio data 264a, the continuous character ratio data 264b, and the number of shot balls data 264c are each stored in a predetermined number ( For example, 1024). In addition, the total number of hit information, door open information, error information, and overtime information that can be recorded in the game state data 264d is also limited to a predetermined number (eg, 16384). When a predetermined number of pieces of information have already been recorded in the role ratio data 264a, the continuous role ratio data 264b, the shot ball number data 264c, or the game state data 264d, the oldest information is deleted, and the newest information is replaced. is recorded.

Specifically, the continuous role ratio data 264b, the shot ball number data 264c, and the game state data 264d are each configured in a ring buffer, and a memory for managing the position where information is written on each ring buffer is prepared. By shifting the writing position by 1 each time information is written, it is possible to erase the oldest information and record the newest information there.

By setting an upper limit on the number of pieces of information that can be recorded in each piece of data in this way, it is possible to suppress an increase in the storage capacity of the second read/write memory 264 . Also, when the number of information to be recorded in each data reaches the upper limit, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded, so that the inspection device 300 can be analyzed including the latest state of the pachinko machine 10. can be done.

After the processing of S743, the first read/write memory 263 is initialized to all 0 (S744). As a result, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored while accumulating until the next timing for calculating the role item ratio is reached by the first read/write memory 263. .

When the process of S744 ends, the role product ratio calculation process ends.

Next, inspection result output processing executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing this inspection result output process. This inspection result output process is executed based on an interrupt signal input to the CPU 261 when the connector of the cable connecting the inspection device 300 is inserted into the inspection terminal 207a. In the inspection result output process, data in the second read/write memory 264 is output to the inspection device 300 .

When the inspection result output process is executed, first, all the character product ratios recorded in the character product ratio data 264a and the character product ratios associated with each character product ratio are recorded in the second reading memory 264. The recorded time is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the character product ratio with the oldest recording time (S751).

Specifically, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is not satisfied in the role product ratio data 264a, the CPU 261 first writes the information of the role product ratio to the role product ratio data 264a. From the position where the information is written to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where the information is written (that is, the position where the information on the character ratio at the latest time is recorded). They are sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . On the other hand, in the role product ratio data 264a, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied, the position next to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where information is written (that is, The position where the information on the role product ratio at the oldest time is recorded) is shifted by 1 in order, and the position indicated in the memory that manages the position where the information is written (that is, the role of the latest time) The information recorded up to the position where the information on the product ratio was recorded) is sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . As a result, the information of the character product ratio is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

Next, all the continuous role product ratios recorded in the continuous role product ratio data 264b and the times when the continuous role product ratios were recorded in the second reading memory 264, which are associated with the respective continuous role product ratios, are recorded. , and output to the inspection device 300 in order from the oldest recorded time (S752).

Specifically, when the continuous role product ratio data 264b does not satisfy the upper limit number (predetermined number) of information that can be recorded, the CPU 261 first stores the continuous role product ratio information in the continuous role product ratio data 264b. is written to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where the information is written (i.e., the position where the latest continuous role ratio information is recorded). Information on the product ratio is sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . On the other hand, in the continuous role product ratio data 264b, when the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied, the position next to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where information is written (i.e. , the position where the information of the continuous role product ratio at the oldest time is recorded), the position where the information is written is shifted by 1 in order, and the position indicated in the memory that manages the position where the information is written (i.e., the latest time) The information recorded until the position where the information of the continuous role product ratio is recorded) is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection device 300. As a result, the information of the continuous role product ratio is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

Next, the information on the number of balls (the number of shot balls) shot to all the game areas recorded in the shot ball number data 264c, and the information on the number of shot balls associated with the information on the number of shot balls are displayed as the second. 2. The time recorded in the reading memory 264 is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the character product ratio with the oldest recording time (S753).

Specifically, when the number of shot balls data 264c does not satisfy the upper limit number (predetermined number) of information that can be recorded, the CPU 261 first writes information on the number of shot balls to the number of shot ball data 264c. The information on the number of shot balls recorded from the position where the information is written to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where the information is written (that is, the position where the information on the number of shot balls at the latest time is recorded) They are sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . On the other hand, in the shot ball number data 264c, if the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied, the position next to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position to write the information (that is, The position where information on the number of balls fired at the oldest time is recorded) is shifted by 1 in order, and the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where the information is written (i.e., the latest time of firing) The information recorded up to the position where the information on the number of balls was recorded) is sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection device 300 . As a result, the information on the number of shot balls is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

Next, all the jackpot information, door open information, error information, and overtime information recorded in the game state data 264d, and the time when the information associated with each information was stored in the first reading memory 263 are output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the oldest information (S754).

Specifically, if the game state data 264d does not satisfy the upper limit number (predetermined number) of information that can be recorded, the CPU 261 starts recording the information from the position where the information was first written in the game state data 264d. The information recorded up to the position indicated by the memory managing the writing position (that is, the position where the latest time information is recorded) is sequentially read and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . On the other hand, in the game state data 264d, if the upper limit number (predetermined number) of recordable information is satisfied, the position next to the position indicated by the memory that manages the position where information is written (that is, the most The position indicated by the memory that manages the position to write the information by shifting the read position by 1 in order from the position where the information of the old time is recorded (that is, the position where the information of the latest time is recorded) ) are sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . As described above, in the game state data 264d, each piece of information about the game state is arranged (sorted) from the oldest time information and recorded in the game state data 264d. Therefore, the information about the game state is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

By the processing of S751 to S754, each piece of information is output in order from the oldest one, so the inspection device 300 analyzes each piece of information in the order in which it is output, so that the role item ratio, It is possible to easily analyze changes in the continuous role ratio, the number of shot balls, and the game state.

After the process of S754, the test result output process is terminated.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the main control unit 110 is provided with the role ratio management chip 207, the winning information is obtained from the MPU 201, and the role ratio management chip 207 calculates the role ratio and the continuous role ratio. to record. When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a , the information on the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 is output to the inspection device 300 .

Here, some of the fraudsters illegally open the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b by some method, or guide the ball to the second starting port 64b. There are those who try to increase the chances of winning a big prize by increasing the number of prizes to be won. Also, there are those who try to obtain many prize balls by illegally opening the opening/closing plate of the big prize winning opening 65a by some method or guiding the balls to the big winning prize opening 65a. If there is such a fraudulent act, the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio will increase.

On the other hand, since the pachinko machine 10 is configured as described above, the inspection device 300 analyzes the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio, so that if a fraudulent act has been performed, the fraudulent act can be detected. can be found.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 , information on the number of balls shot into the game area and information on the game state are also recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300 . Therefore, if the analysis by the inspection device 300 shows that the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are high, the cause is investigated based on the information on the number of balls shot into the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

Also, the role product ratio management chip 207 is provided in the main control device 110 and housed in one board box 100 together with the MPU 201, ROM 202 and the like. As a result, it is difficult for a fraudulent person to alter the winning information or the like input to the role product ratio management chip 207 . Therefore, high reliability can be maintained for the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio calculated and output by the character product ratio management chip 207 .

In addition, since the MPU 201 is not made to manage the role ratio and the like, but the dedicated role ratio management chip 207 for managing the role ratio and the like is provided, an increase in the processing load on the MPU 201 can be suppressed, and the game can be played as the main part of the game. The MPU 201 can be devoted to such control.

Also, the character ratio management chip 207 is provided with a prize ball number data setting area 265a, and when power is supplied, the prize ball number table 202e stored in the ROM 202 is set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a. Then, the character ratio management chip 207 calculates the character ratio and the continuous character ratio using the prize ball number table 202e set in the prize ball number data setting area 265a. As a result, there is no need to store information on the number of prize balls that differs for each model in the ROM of the role product ratio management chip 207 at the manufacturing stage. Therefore, the production of the character product ratio management chip 207 can be simplified. Also, if the pachinko machine models are different, the ROM 202 may be changed, and even if the pachinko machines of different models use the same role product ratio management chip 207, the role product ratio can be calculated accurately.

Next, each control process executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 to 27. FIG. The processing of the MPU 221 can be broadly classified into startup processing that is started upon power-on and main processing that is executed after the startup processing.

First, referring to FIG. 23, start-up processing executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started when the power is turned on.

When the start-up process is executed, first, an initial setting process is executed upon power-on (S801). Specifically, a predetermined value is set in the stack pointer. After that, depending on whether or not the power-off processing flag is ON, the power-off processing in S915 (see FIG. 24) is caused by a momentary voltage drop (instantaneous power failure, so-called "instantaneous power failure"). ) is started during execution (S802). As will be described later with reference to FIG. 24, when the audio lamp control device 113 receives a power-off command from the main controller 110 (see S912 in FIG. 24), it executes power-off processing in S915. Before the power-off processing is executed, the power-off processing flag is turned on, and after the power-off processing is completed, the power-off processing flag is turned off. Therefore, whether or not the power-off processing of S915 is being executed can be determined by the state of the power-off processing flag.

If the power-off processing flag is off (S802: No), the startup process this time was started after the power was completely shut off, or after a momentary power failure occurred and the power was shut off in S915. Either it was started after the execution of the process was completed, or it was started when only the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 was reset due to noise (without receiving a power off command from the main controller 110). be. Therefore, in these cases, it is checked whether or not the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S803).

Destruction of data in the RAM 223 is confirmed as follows. That is, in a specific area of the RAM 223, data as a keyword "55AAh" is written by the process of S806. Therefore, the data stored in the specific area is checked, and if the data is "55AAh", there is no data destruction in the RAM 223. Conversely, if it is not "55AAh", it can be confirmed that the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed. If data destruction of RAM223 is confirmed (S803: Yes), it will transfer to S804 and will start initialization of RAM223. On the other hand, if destruction of data in the RAM 223 is not confirmed (S803: No), the process proceeds to S808.

It should be noted that if the startup process this time is started after the power is completely cut off, the keyword "55AAh" is not stored in the specific area of the RAM 223 (the memory of the RAM 223 is lost due to the power cut). ), it is determined that the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S803: Yes), and the process proceeds to S804. On the other hand, whether the current start-up processing was started after a momentary power failure occurred and after the execution of the power-off processing in S915 was completed, or only the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 was reset due to noise or the like. If the operation is started with the above, the keyword "55AAh" is stored in the specific area of the RAM 223, so it is determined that the data in the RAM 223 is normal (S803: No), and the process proceeds to S808.

If the power-off processing flag is on (S802: Yes), the startup process this time is after a momentary power failure occurs, and the audio lamp control device 113 It is started by resetting the MPU 221 of . In such a case, the memory state of the RAM 223 is not necessarily correct because the power-off process is in progress. Therefore, in such a case, the control cannot be continued, so the process proceeds to S804 and the initialization of the RAM 223 is started.

In the processing of S804, the storage area of the entire range of RAM 223 is checked (S804). As a checking method, first, "0FFh" is written for each byte, read for each byte to confirm whether it is "0FFh", and if it is "0FFh", it is determined that the data is normal. Such writing and confirmation for each byte is performed in the order of "0FFh", "55h", "0AAh", and "00h". All storage areas of the RAM 223 are cleared to 0 by this read/write check of the RAM 223 .

If the read/write check is normal for all storage areas of the RAM 223 (S805: Yes), the keyword "55AAh" is written in the specific area of the RAM 223 to set RAM destruction check data (S806). By confirming the keyword "55AAh" written in this specific area, it is checked whether or not the RAM 223 has data destruction. On the other hand, if an abnormality in the read/write check is detected in any storage area of the RAM 223 (S805: No), the abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified (S807), and an infinite loop is performed until the power is cut off. Abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified by the display lamp 34 . In addition, it is possible to output a sound by the sound output device 226 to notify the abnormality of the RAM 223, or to transmit an error command to the display control device 114 and display an error message on the third symbol display device 81. can be

In the processing of S808, it is determined whether or not the power-off flag is turned on (S808). The power-off flag is turned on when the power-off process of S915 is executed (see S914 in FIG. 24). That is, since the power-off flag is turned on before the power-off processing of S915 is executed, the process of S808 is reached with the power-off flag turned on because the startup processing this time is instantaneous. This is the case where the process is started after the power failure has occurred and the execution of the power-off process in S915 has been completed. Therefore, in such a case (S808: Yes), the work area of the RAM is cleared (S809) in order to initialize each process of the sound lamp control device 113, and after setting the initial value of the RAM 223 (S810), an interrupt Permission is set (S811), and the process proceeds to the main process. The work area of the RAM 223 refers to an area other than the area for storing commands and the like received from the main controller 110 .

On the other hand, the reason why the process of S808 is reached with the power-off flag turned off is that the current start-up process was started after the power supply was completely shut off, for example. This is the case where the processing has been reached, or only the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 has been reset due to noise or the like (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110). Therefore, in such a case (S808: No), skipping S809, which is processing for clearing the work area of the RAM 223, proceeds to S810, sets the initial value of the RAM 223 (S810), and sets interrupt permission. Then (S811), the process proceeds to the main process.

The reason why the clearing process of S809 is skipped is that when the process of S808 is reached from S804 via the process of S806, all storage areas of the RAM 223 have already been cleared by the process of S804, When only the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 is reset due to noise or the like and start-up processing is started, the data in the work area of the RAM 223 is saved without being cleared, so that the audio lamp control device 113 This is because the control of can be continued.

Next, with reference to FIG. 22, main processing executed by the MPU 221 in the audio ramp control device 113 after startup processing of the audio ramp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing this main process. When the main process is executed, first, it is determined whether or not 1 millisecond or more has passed since the process of S901 was executed last time (S901), and if 1 millisecond or more has not passed (S901: No) , S902 to S908 are skipped, and the process proceeds to S910. In the processing of S901, it is determined whether or not 1 millisecond has passed because S902 to S908 do not need to be processed in a short cycle (within 1 millisecond), whereas the variable display processing of S910 is performed. This is because the command determination processing in step S911 is preferably performed in a short cycle. By executing the process of S911 in a short period, it is possible to prevent the command transmitted from the main controller 110 from being missed, and by executing the process of S910 in a short period, the command received by the command determination process can be prevented. Based on this, it is possible to make settings related to variable production without delay.

In the process of S901, when it is determined that 1 millisecond or more has passed since the process of S901 was last executed (S901: Yes), the process proceeds to S902. If the process of S901 is executed for the first time after the start-up process shown in FIG. 21, the process proceeds directly to S902.

In the processing of S902, various commands for the display control device 114 set by the processing of S903 to S911 are transmitted to the display control device 114 (S902). Next, the output of each lamp is set so as to set the lighting mode of the display lamp 34 and the lighting mode of the lamp edited in the process of S906 described later (S903), and then the power-on notification process is executed (S904). In the power-on notification process, when the power is turned on, it is notified that the power has been turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). will be Also, a command may be sent to the display control device 114 to notify that power is supplied on the screen of the third pattern display device 81 . Note that if the power is not turned on, the process proceeds to S905 without notifying by the power-on notification process.

Next, frame button input monitoring/effect processing is executed (S905). In this frame button input monitoring and effect processing, input as to whether or not the frame button 22 operated by the player has been pressed is monitored in order to enhance the effect of the effect, and the input of the frame button 22 is confirmed. This is the process of setting to perform production. In this process, when the operation of the frame button 22 by the player is detected, a frame button operation command is set to notify the display control device 114 that the frame button 22 has been operated.

In addition, when the frame button 22 is pressed during the period when the variable effect is not executed or during the high-speed fluctuation period, the process of changing the stage is performed, and instead of the frame button operation command, the back image of the display control device 114 is changed. Set command. By including information about the type of the back image corresponding to the changed stage in the back image change command, the display control device 114 changes the back image displayed on the third pattern display device 81 to an image corresponding to the stage. A process to change to is performed. In addition, when a notice character appears at the start of the variable display, by pressing the frame button 22, the expected value of the big win due to this change is displayed, and by pressing the frame button 22 during the ready-to-win performance, the expectation for the big win is displayed. Alternatively, the frame button 22 may be used as a determination button for selecting one ready-to-win effect out of a plurality of ready-to-win effects. Note that if the frame button 22 is not arranged, the process of S905 is omitted.

When the frame button input monitoring/effect processing (S905) ends, the lamp editing processing is executed (S906), and then the sound editing/output processing is executed (S907). In the lamp editing process, the lighting patterns of the illumination parts 29 to 33 are set so as to correspond to the display performed by the third pattern display device 81 . In the sound editing/output process, the output pattern of the voice output device 226 is set so as to correspond to the display performed by the third pattern display device 81, and the sound is output from the voice output device 226 according to the setting.

After the processing of S907, liquid crystal effect execution management processing is executed (S908). In the liquid crystal effect execution management process, based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main controller 110, the time required for the variation display performed by the third symbol display device 81 and the time synchronized therewith are set. The lamp editing process of S906 is executed based on the time set in the liquid crystal effect execution monitoring process, and the sound editing/output process of S907 is also synchronized with the time required for the variable display performed by the third symbol display device 81. executed in time. After the process of S908, the process proceeds to S910.

In the process of S910, in order to display the variation effect on the third symbol display device 81, a variation pattern command for display is generated based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 110, and the command is sent to the display control device 114. Executes variable display processing, which is processing set for transmission. The details of this variable display processing will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, after the variable display process, a command determination process for performing a process according to the command received from the main controller 110 is performed (S911). Details of this command determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

When the process of S911 is completed, it is determined whether or not the work RAM 233 stores power failure occurrence information (S912). The power-off occurrence information is stored when a power-off command is received from main controller 110 . If power-off occurrence information is stored in the processing of S912 (S912: Yes), both the power-off flag and the power-off processing flag are turned on (S914), and the power-off processing is executed (S915). After the power-off processing is executed, the power-off processing in progress flag is turned off (S916), and then the processing is looped infinitely. In the power-off processing, interrupt processing is prohibited, each output port is turned off, and outputs from the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 are turned off. In addition, the memory of information on occurrence of power failure is also erased.

On the other hand, if the power-off occurrence information is not stored in the process of S912 (S912: No), it is determined whether or not the RAM 223 is destroyed based on the keyword stored in the RAM 223 (S913), and the RAM 223 is destroyed. If not (S913: No), the process returns to S901, and the main process is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the RAM 223 is destroyed (S913: Yes), the process is looped infinitely to stop execution of subsequent processes.

Here, since the main processing is not executed when it is determined that the RAM is destroyed and an infinite loop is performed, the display by the third symbol display device 81 does not change after that. Therefore, since the player can know that an abnormality has occurred, the player can call the hall clerk or the like and ask them to repair the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Further, when it is confirmed that the RAM 223 is destroyed, the RAM destruction may be notified by the voice output device 226 or the lamp display device 227 .

Next, the command determination process (S911) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing this command determination process (S911). This command determination process (S911) is executed in the main process (see FIG. 24) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp controller 113, and as described above, determines the command received from the main controller 110. .

In the command determination process, first, from the command storage area provided in the RAM 223, among the unprocessed commands, the first command received from the main controller 110 is read and analyzed, and a variation pattern command is received from the main controller 110. (S1001). Then, when it is determined that the variation pattern command is received (S1001: Yes), the variation pattern is extracted from the variation pattern command (S1002), and the process returns to the main process. The variation pattern extracted here is stored in the RAM 223, and in the variation display process (see FIG. 26) described later, a variation pattern command for display is issued to the display control device 114 to notify the start of the variation effect and the variation pattern. Used when setting.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the variation pattern command has not been received (S1001: No), then it is determined whether or not the stop type command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1003). When it is determined that the stop type command has been received (S1003: Yes), the stop type is extracted from the stop type command (S1004), the fluctuation start flag is set to ON (S1005), and the process returns to the main process. .

It should be noted that the stop type command indicates the stop type of the variable effect in which the variation pattern is indicated by the variation pattern command after the main controller 110 transmits the variation pattern command when starting the variable effect. This command is always sent from 110 . By setting the fluctuation start flag to ON by the process of S1005, in the fluctuation display process executed later, based on the fluctuation pattern extracted from the previously received fluctuation pattern command and the stop type extracted from the stop type command , generate a display variation pattern command and a display stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of these variation patterns and stop types, and execute processing for transmitting them to the display control device 114 .

As a result of the process of S1003, if it is determined that the stop type command has not been received (S1003: No), then it is determined whether or not the pending ball number command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1006). Then, when it is determined that the pending ball number command has been received (S1006: Yes), the value of the pending ball number counter 203a of the main controller 110 included in the pending ball number command (that is, the suspended variable effect is suspended) number of balls) is extracted and stored in the RAM 223 of the audio lamp controller 113 (S1007).

Here, the reserved ball number command is transmitted from the main controller 110 when the ball wins (start winning) in either the first starting hole 64a or the second starting hole 64b. Each time, the value of the number of pending balls stored in the RAM 223 of the sound lamp control device 113 can be matched with the value of the number of pending balls counter 203a of the main controller 110 by the processing of S1007. Therefore, even if the value of the number of pending balls of the voice lamp control device 113 deviates from the value of the number of pending balls counter 203a of the main control unit 110 due to the influence of noise, etc., the pending ball of the voice ramp control device 113 is The value of the number counter 223 a can be modified to match the value of the reserved ball number counter 203 a of the main controller 110 .

Next, the values of the first hit random number counter C1, the first hit type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 included in the received pending ball number command are extracted and stored in the RAM 223 (S1008).

The values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the reserved ball number command are obtained from the counter buffer in the main controller 110 when the ball wins (starts winning) the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b. It is what was done. The sound ramp control device 113 can perform prefetch processing by referring to the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 stored in the RAM 223 . That is, when the suspended variable performance is executed, the result of the variable performance (whether it will be a big hit, what the variable time will be, etc.) is determined before the variable performance is executed, Execution of various effects can be determined.

Next, a display pending ball number command for notifying the display controller 114 of the value of the pending ball number stored in the RAM 223 by the processing of S1007 is set (S1009), and the process returns to the main process. The display pending ball number command set here is temporarily stored in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by command output processing (S902) of the main processing. As a result, the display control device 114 executes a process to display the reserved ball number symbol corresponding to the reserved ball number on the third symbol display device 81 .

As a result of the process of S1006, if it is determined that the command for the number of reserved balls has not been received (S1006: No), then it is determined whether or not a confirmation command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1010). The confirmation command is a command for confirming and displaying the variable effect being executed on the third symbol display device 81 . If it is determined that the confirmation command has been received (S1010: Yes), a display confirmation command for notifying the reception of the confirmation command is set to the display control device 114 (S1011), and the process returns to the main process. . The display confirmation command set here is temporarily stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by command output processing (S902) of the main processing. In the display control device 114, by receiving the confirmation command for display, the variable effect being executed by the third pattern display device 81 is stopped, and the stop type corresponding to the stop type command for display is previously indicated. By displaying the stop pattern, it is determined and displayed.

As a result of the process of S1010, if it is determined that the definite command has not been received (S1010: No), it is determined whether or not another command has been received, and the process corresponding to the received command is executed. (S1012), it shifts to the main process. For example, if the other command is a command used in the sound lamp control device 113, the processing corresponding to the command is performed, the processing result is stored in the RAM 223, and if the command is a command used in the display control device 114, the command is displayed and controlled. A command is set to be sent to the device 114 . The demonstration command received from the main controller 110 is set as a display demonstration command by the processing of S1013, and after being temporarily stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 223, the command output processing of the main processing ( S902) to the display control device 114. FIG.

Next, the variable display process (S910) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a flow chart showing this variable display process (S910).

This variable display process (S910) is executed in the main process (see FIG. 24) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113, and as described above, the third symbol display device 81 displays the variable effect. In order to do so, a display variation pattern command and a display stop type command are generated based on the variation pattern command and the stop type command received from the main controller 110, and these commands are set to be transmitted to the display control device 114. It is a process to

In the variable display process, first, it is determined whether or not the variable start flag provided in the RAM 223 is ON (S1101). If it is determined that the fluctuation start flag is not on (that is, is off) (S1101: No), it means that the stop type command has not been received from the main controller 110, so this fluctuation display process is executed. End and return to main processing.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the fluctuation start flag is on (S1101: Yes), the fluctuation start flag is turned off (S1102), and the fluctuation pattern command extracted from the fluctuation pattern command in the process of S1002 of the command determination process (see FIG. 25) A variation pattern in the variation effect is acquired from the RAM 223 (S1103). The variation pattern extracted here is the variation time. In the audio ramp control device 113, a plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns are prepared for each fluctuation time, and one detailed fluctuation is selected from the plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns prepared for the extracted fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time). A pattern is determined by lottery, and a display variation pattern command for notifying the determined detailed variation pattern to the display control device 114 is set (S1104).

The display variation pattern command set here is temporarily stored in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by command output processing (S902) of the main processing. In the display control device 114, by receiving this display variation pattern command, the third pattern display device 81 performs the variation display of the third pattern in the detailed variation pattern indicated by this display variation pattern command. , start the display control of the variable effect.

Next, the stop type in the variable effect extracted from the stop type command in the process of S1004 of the command determination process (see FIG. 23) is acquired from the RAM 223 (S1105). Then, a display stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the extracted stop type is set (S1104). The stop type command for display set here is temporarily stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by command output processing (S902) of the main processing. The display control device 114 sets a stop pattern corresponding to the stop type indicated by the display stop type command when the variable effect executed by the display change pattern command set by the processing of S1105 is to be displayed. do.

Next, the number of held balls in the RAM 223 is decremented by 1 as the held balls are consumed (that is, the variable display corresponding to the held balls is set) according to the setting of the display variation pattern command. (S1107), a display pending ball count command for notifying the display controller 114 of the updated pending ball count value is set (S1108). Then, it returns to the main processing.

The display reserved ball number command set by the processing of S1108 is temporarily stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 223, and is transmitted to the display control device 114 by the command output processing (S902) of the main processing. be. The display control device 114 executes a process of causing the third symbol display device 81 to display the number of reserved ball symbols corresponding to the number of reserved balls indicated by the command for the number of reserved balls for display. Therefore, the player can recognize the number of reserved balls by counting the number of reserved ball number symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 81 .

Next, each control executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing of the MPU 231 can be broadly classified into main processing that is repeatedly executed after power is turned on, command interrupt processing that is executed when a command is received from the audio lamp control device 113, and processing for one frame from the image controller 236. There is V interrupt processing that is executed when the MPU 231 detects a V interrupt signal that is transmitted every 20 milliseconds when image drawing processing is completed. The MPU 231 normally executes main processing, and executes command interrupt processing and V interrupt processing in accordance with reception of a command and detection of a V interrupt signal. If command reception and V interrupt signal detection are performed at the same time, command reception processing is preferentially executed. As a result, it is possible to quickly reflect the content of the command received from the sound lamp control device 113 and execute the V interrupt process.

First, the main processing executed by the MPU 231 in the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIG. 27(a). FIG. 27(a) is a flow chart showing this main process. The main process is started when the power is turned on, and continues to be executed until the power is turned off.

When the power is turned on and the main processing is executed by the MPU 231, first, the initialization processing is executed (S1401). Specifically, first, processing for initializing the MPU 231 and clearing the storage of the work RAM 233 and the video RAM 234 is performed. Then, the compressed character information stored in the character ROM 235 is read, the read character information is decompressed, and the decompressed character information is stored in the video RAM 234 . Furthermore, in order to display the initial screen, information corresponding to the initial screen is extracted from the character information written in the video RAM 234, and stored in an area in the video RAM 234 different from the area in the video RAM 234 in which the decompressed character information is stored. Write the extracted character information in the prepared frame buffer area. In addition, other necessary settings for initialization are performed.

When the initial setting process is completed, the interrupt permission is set (S1402), and thereafter the main process executes an infinite loop process until the power is turned off. Accordingly, after the interrupt permission is set by the process of S1402, the command interrupt process and the V interrupt process are executed in accordance with the reception of the command and the detection of the V interrupt signal.

Next, command interrupt processing executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIG. 27(b). FIG. 27(b) is a flow chart showing the command interrupt processing. As described above, when a command is received from the audio lamp control device 113, the MPU 231 executes command interrupt processing.

In this command interrupt process, the received command data is extracted, and the extracted command data is sequentially stored in the command buffer area provided in the work RAM 233 (S1501), and the process ends. Various commands stored in the command buffer area by this command interrupt processing are read by command determination processing of V interrupt processing, which will be described later, and processing corresponding to the command is performed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 27(c), V interrupt processing executed by the MPU 231 of the display control device 114 will be described. FIG. 27(c) is a flow chart showing the V interrupt processing. In this V interrupt process, various processes corresponding to the command stored in the command buffer area by the command interrupt process are executed, and after specifying the image to be displayed on the third pattern display device 81, the image is drawn. and instructs the image controller 236 to display.

As described above, this V interrupt process is started when the V interrupt signal from the image controller 236 is detected. This V interrupt signal is a signal that is generated in the image controller 236 and sent to the MPU 231 every 20 milliseconds when the image drawing processing for one frame is completed. Therefore, by executing the V interrupt process in synchronization with this V interrupt signal, a drawing instruction is issued to the image controller 236 every 20 milliseconds when the drawing process of the image for one frame is completed. become. Therefore, the image controller 236 does not receive an instruction to draw the next image before the image drawing processing or display processing is completed. It is possible to prevent an image from being developed in accordance with a new drawing instruction in a frame buffer storing image information being displayed.

In this V interrupt process, as shown in FIG. 27(c), first, a command determination process (S1602) is executed. In this command determination process (S1602), the contents of the command from the sound lamp control device 113 stored in the command buffer area by the command interrupt process are analyzed, and the process corresponding to the command is executed. For example, when the display variation pattern command is stored, the image is drawn so that the variation effect is executed on the third symbol display device 81 according to the detailed variation pattern indicated by the display variation pattern table command. and start controlling the display.

When the stop type command for display is stored, during high speed fluctuation ( While the variable display of the third pattern is performed so that the content of the third pattern cannot be recognized by the player), the third pattern being displayed is replaced. When the confirmation command for display is stored, image drawing and display are controlled so that the confirmation display is performed in the variable effect executed by the third pattern display device 81 .

Now, in this command determination process (S1602), all the commands stored in the command buffer area at that time are analyzed and the process is executed. This is because command determination processing is performed at intervals of 20 milliseconds when V interrupt processing is executed, and there is a high possibility that multiple commands are stored in the command buffer area during those 20 milliseconds. be. In particular, when main controller 110 decides to start a variable effect, there is a high possibility that a display variable pattern command, a stop type command, and the like are stored in the command buffer area at the same time. Therefore, by analyzing and executing these commands at once, it is possible to quickly comprehend the mode of the variable performance and other effects selected by the main controller 110 and the sound lamp control device 113, and to obtain a performance image corresponding to the mode. is displayed on the third pattern display device 81, the drawing of the image can be controlled.

After the command determination process (S1602) ends, display setting process (S1603) is executed. In the display setting process (S1603), based on the type of screen to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 determined by the command determination process (S1602), etc., one frame to be displayed next on the third symbol display device 81 is selected. specifically identify the content of the image.

After the display setting process (S1603) is executed, task processing is executed (S1064). In this task processing, based on the content of the image for the next one frame to be displayed on the third display device 281 specified by the display setting processing (S1603), characters (sprites, display objects) forming the image are selected. Along with specifying the type, various parameters required for drawing such as the display coordinate position, enlargement ratio, and rotation angle are determined for each character (sprite).

Then, drawing processing is executed (S1504). In this drawing process, the types of various characters forming one frame and the parameters necessary for drawing each character, which are determined in the task process (S1503), are transmitted to the image controller 236. FIG. As a result, the image controller 236 executes image drawing processing in accordance with these pieces of information, and displays an image drawn in accordance with the information received 1V before on the third pattern display device 81 together with the drive signal. Control is performed to transmit the image data to the third pattern display device 81 .

After that, after executing other necessary processing, for example, processing for updating various counters provided in the display control device 114 (S1505), the V interrupt processing ends.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main control unit 110 is provided with the role ratio management chip 207, the winning information is obtained from the MPU 201, and the role ratio management chip 207 Calculate and record the product ratio and the continuous accessory ratio. When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a , the information on the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 is output to the inspection device 300 .

Here, some of the fraudsters illegally open the electric accessory of the second starting port 64b by some method, or guide the ball to the second starting port 64b. There are those who try to increase the chances of winning a big prize by increasing the number of prizes to be won. Also, there are those who try to obtain many prize balls by illegally opening the opening/closing plate of the big prize winning opening 65a by some method or guiding the balls to the big winning prize opening 65a. If there is such a fraudulent act, the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio will increase.

On the other hand, since the pachinko machine 10 is configured as described above, the inspection device 300 analyzes the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio, so that if a fraudulent act has been performed, the fraudulent act can be detected. can be found.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 , information on the number of balls shot into the game area and information on the game state are also recorded in the role product ratio management chip 207 and output to the inspection device 300 . Therefore, if the analysis by the inspection device 300 shows that the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are high, the cause is investigated based on the information on the number of balls shot into the game area and the information on the game state. be able to.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 30. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when it is time to calculate the role product ratio, the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are calculated based on the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263. is calculated and recorded in the second read/write memory 264 has been described. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, when the trigger (timing) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b occurs, each recorded in the first reading memory 263 The values of the counters 263a to 263e are recorded in the second read/write memory 264 as they are, and the values of the counters 263a to 263e recorded in the second read/write memory 264 are output to the inspection device 300 as they are.

The pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 28 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the main controller 110 in the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment. The electrical configuration of the main controller 110 of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the second read/write memory 264 of the character material ratio management chip 207 stores the character material ratio data 264a of the first embodiment and The point is that winning counter data 264e is recorded in place of the continuous role product ratio data 264b.

Also, in the second embodiment, the meaning of the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is different from that in the first embodiment. That is, in the second embodiment, the trigger information data 202f indicates the trigger (timing) for recording the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263 in the second read/write memory 264. FIG. The meaning of the trigger information data 202f is different from that of the first embodiment, and the content itself is the same as that of the first embodiment.

That is, in the trigger information data 202f, the values of the respective counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263 are recorded in the second read/write memory 264 as triggers (timings) for "number of shots", "time", " Information indicating either "game time" is defined.

The trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "predetermined number of balls" which is the timing for calculating the character ratio when the information indicating the "number of shots" is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "number of shots" and information indicating 500 balls as the "predetermined number of balls", the first reading is performed each time the number of shot balls reaches 500. The values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the memory 263 are recorded in the second read/write memory 264. FIG.

When information indicating "time" is defined, the trigger information data 202f also defines information indicating "predetermined time" which is the timing for calculating the role product ratio. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating "time" and information indicating 12:00, 17:00, 19:00, and 22:00 as "predetermined times", the time is 12:00. , 17:00, 19:00, and 22:00, the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263 are recorded in the second read/write memory 264.

The trigger information data 202f defines information indicating the "predetermined time" which is the timing for calculating the role product ratio, when the information indicating the "game time" is defined. For example, if the trigger information data 202f defines information indicating "game time" and information indicating two hours as the "predetermined time", the first read/write memory 263 , are recorded in the second read/write memory 264 .

Winning counter data 264e is generated at the first counter 263a of the first reading memory 263 at each timing (trigger) when the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first reading memory 263 are recorded in the second reading memory 264. The total number of balls that won the first starting port 64a counted, the total number of balls that won the second starting port 64b counted by the first 2 counter 263b, and the first normal counted by the general 1 counter 263c The total number of balls winning the winning opening 63a, the total number of balls winning the second ordinary winning opening 63b counted by the normal 2 counter 263d, and the winning number of the big winning opening 65a counted by the big winning opening counter 263e. It is data recorded together with the total number of balls played and the time at the recording timing.

Counters 263a to 263e corresponding to each winning opening indicate the total number of balls won in each winning opening during the period from when the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time, or from the previous timing to the current timing. is indicated by When it is time to record the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in the first read/write memory 263 in the second read/write memory 264, the values of the counters 263a to 263e at that time are indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. is recorded in the winning counter data 264e together with the time of .

The winning counter data 264e is associated with one time, and the total number of balls winning the first starting hole 64a, the total number of balls winning the second starting hole 64b, and the winning balls winning the first normal winning hole 63a at that time. The total number of balls, the total number of balls winning the second normal winning opening 63b, and the total number of balls winning the big winning opening 65a may be recorded.

Also, in the winning counter data 264e, there is an area for recording the total number of winning balls in the first starting opening 64a, an area for storing the total number of winning balls in the second starting opening 64b, and a winning amount in the first normal winning opening 63a. An area for recording the total number of balls won, an area for storing the total number of balls that have won the second normal prize opening 63b, and an area for recording the total number of balls that have won the big prize opening 65a are provided, and a first reading memory is provided. When the timing (trigger) for recording the values of the counters 263a to 263e stored in 263 in the second reading memory 264 comes, the total number of balls that have won in the corresponding winning opening for each area is calculated. The winning counter data 264e may be configured to be recorded together with the time in the timing.

Here, the information on the total number of balls that have entered each winning hole that can be recorded in the winning counter data 264e is limited to a predetermined number (for example, 16384). For example, in association with one time, the total number of balls winning the first starting opening 64a at that time, the total number of balls winning the second starting opening 64b, the total number of balls winning the first normal winning opening 63a, When the winning counter data 264e is configured to record the total number of balls winning the second normal winning opening 63b and the total number of winning balls winning the big winning opening 65a, a predetermined number of pieces of information are already recorded in the winning counter data 264e. If so, the oldest information will be deleted and the newest information will be recorded there. For example, the winning counter data 264e may be configured like a ring buffer, a memory may be separately prepared for managing the position where information is written on the ring buffer, and the position where information is written may be shifted by 1 each time information is written. , the process of erasing the oldest information and recording the latest information there can be realized. Thus, by setting an upper limit on the number of pieces of information that can be recorded in the winning counter data 264e, it is possible to suppress an increase in the storage capacity of the second read/write memory 264. FIG. Also, when the number of information to be recorded in the winning counter data 264e reaches the upper limit, by erasing the oldest information and recording the latest information, the latest information including the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be stored in the inspection device 300. Analysis can be done.

An area for recording the total number of balls that have won the first starting hole 64a, an area for storing the total number of balls that have won the second starting hole 64b, and the total number of balls that have won the first normal winning hole 63a are recorded. , an area for storing the total number of balls that have won in the second normal winning opening 63b, and an area for recording the total number of balls that have won in the big winning opening 65a. Alternatively, a ring buffer may be configured for each area, an upper limit may be set for the number of pieces of information that can be recorded in each area, and control may be performed as described above. As a result, when the number of information to be recorded reaches the upper limit in each area, the oldest information is erased and the latest information is recorded. Analysis can be performed.

When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, an interrupt occurs to the CPU 261, and the CPU 261 reads the winning counter data 264e, the shot ball number data 264c, and the game state data recorded in the second reading memory 264. 264d are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 in order. When transmitting each data 264e, 264c, 264d to the inspection apparatus 300, the CPU 261 transmits each information recorded in each data 264e, 264c, 264d (including recorded time information associated with each information). , are read out in the order in which they were recorded, and are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 .

Specifically, when the data to be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 does not satisfy the upper limit number of recordable information (predetermined number), the CPU 261 first adds information to the data. The information recorded from the position where is written to the position indicated in the memory that manages the position where information is written (that is, the position where the latest time information is recorded) is sequentially read and inspected. Send to device 300 . On the other hand, if the data for transmitting information to the inspection apparatus 300 satisfies the upper limit number of information that can be recorded (predetermined number above), the memory that manages the position to write the information indicates. The position indicated in the memory that manages the position to write the information by shifting the reading position by 1 in order from the position next to the position (i.e., the position where the oldest time information is recorded) (i.e., the position where the information is written) , the position where the latest time information is recorded) are sequentially read out and transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 . As a result, the information is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the information of the oldest time.

An area for recording the total number of balls that have won the first starting hole 64a, an area for storing the total number of balls that have won the second starting hole 64b, and the total number of balls that have won the first normal winning hole 63a are recorded. , an area for storing the total number of balls that have won in the second normal winning opening 63b, and an area for recording the total number of balls that have won in the big winning opening 65a. By reading the information for each area as described above, the total number of balls that have won the winning opening is output to the inspection device 300 in order from the oldest time information for each winning opening. Become.

Next, referring to FIG. 29, the winning information saving process (S718, S733) executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing this winning information saving process. In the first embodiment, the information stored in the first read/write memory 263 when the timing (trigger) for calculating the character ratio has come (see FIG. 20) and when the power is turned off (see FIG. 18) Although the character ratio calculation process of calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio from the second read/write memory 264 is executed (see FIG. 21), in the second embodiment, it is stored in the first read/write memory 263 When the timing (trigger) for recording each information obtained in the second read/write memory 264 has come (see FIG. 20), and when the power is turned off (see FIG. 18), instead of the character ratio calculation process, the winning Execute information saving processing. This winning information saving process is a process of recording each piece of information stored in the first reading memory 263 in the second reading memory 264 .

In the winning information storage process, first, the values of the counters 263a to 263e corresponding to the winning openings stored in the first reading memory 263 are combined with the current time indicated by the RTC 266, and stored in the second reading memory 264. It is recorded in addition to the winning counter data 264e (S761). As a result, for each combination timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b, the power is turned on until the timing is reached for the first time, or from the previous timing to the current timing. The total number of balls that won the first starting hole 64a counted by the starting 1 counter 263a of the first reading memory 263 and the second starting hole 64b counted by the starting 2 counter 263b The total number of winning balls, the total number of winning balls in the first normal winning opening 63a counted by the normal 1 counter 263c, and the total number of winning balls in the second normal winning opening 63b counted by the normal 2 counter 263d. The total number and the total number of balls winning the big winning opening 65a counted by the big winning opening counter 263e are additionally recorded in the second reading memory 264. FIG.

In addition, even when the power is turned off, the electric power charged in the capacitor 267 is used to perform the recording from the most recent timing (trigger) at which the second read/write memory 264 is recorded. Secondly, the total number of balls entering the first opening 64a counted by the first counter 263a of the first reading memory 263, and the total number of balls entering the second opening 64b counted by the first 2 counter 263b. , the total number of balls that entered the first normal prize opening 63a counted by the general 1 counter 263c, the total number of balls that entered the second normal prize opening 63b counted by the general 2 counter 263d, and the big prize. The total number of balls winning the big winning opening 65a counted by the opening counter 263e is additionally recorded in the second reading memory 264.例文帳に追加As a result, even with respect to the winning of each winning slot during the time when it is determined that the power supply is turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the most recent recording to the second reading memory 264 is performed, the winning of each winning slot is not omitted. The total number of balls played can be recorded in the second reading memory 264 for each winning hole.

In subsequent S742 to S744, the same processing as S742 to S744 of the role product ratio calculation processing of the first embodiment (see FIG. 21) is executed, and the winning information saving processing is terminated.

Next, inspection result output processing executed by the CPU 261 in the role product ratio management chip 207 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a flow chart showing this inspection result output process. Similar to the first embodiment, this inspection result output process is executed based on an interrupt signal input to the CPU 261 when the connector of the cable connecting the inspection device 300 is inserted into the inspection terminal 207a. In the inspection result output process, data in the second read/write memory 264 is output to the inspection device 300 .

When the inspection result output process in the second embodiment is executed, first, the number-of-balls table 202e set in the number-of-balls data setting area 265a is output to the inspection device 300 (S771). Next, all the information indicating the total number of winning balls in each winning hole recorded in the winning counter data 264e is recorded together with the time when the information was recorded in the second reading memory 264, which is associated with each information, and the recording time. are output to the inspection apparatus 300 in order from the oldest information (S772). In S753 and S754 executed following the process of S772, the same processes as S753 and S754 of the inspection result output process of the first embodiment are executed, and the inspection result output process is finished.

The inspection device 300 calculates the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio based on the information indicating the total number of winning balls in each winning hole output in S772 and the winning ball number table 202e output in S771. Then, the calculated role product ratio and continuous role product ratio are analyzed. Then, when the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio are high as a result of analysis by the inspection device 300, the cause is sought based on information regarding the number of balls shot into the game area and information regarding the game state. be able to. In addition, by the processing of S772, the information indicating the total number of winning balls in each winning hole is output in order from the oldest time, so the inspection device 300 analyzes each information in the output order , changes in the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio over time can be easily analyzed.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, every time the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f stored in the trigger setting area 265b occurs in the role product ratio management chip 207, The values of the counters 263a to 263e that count the total number of winning balls for each winning hole stored in the first reading memory 263 are sequentially recorded in the winning counter data 264e of the second reading memory 264. When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the information indicating the total number of winning balls for each winning hole recorded in the winning counter data 264e of the second reading memory 264 is stored in the winning ball number table 202e. are transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300.

In this way, the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment obtains the total number of balls that have won the respective winning holes for all the winning holes, and records it in the second read/write memory 264 . Therefore, compared to the case where the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio calculated as in the first embodiment are recorded in the second read/write memory 264, the required storage capacity of the second read/write memory 264 is increased. Since the total number of winning balls for each winning hole is transmitted to the device 300, as a result of the analysis by the inspection device 300, if there is a large change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio, the inspection device 300 By referring to the total number of winning balls for each winning hole, the cause can be grasped more accurately.

In addition, the information indicating the total number of balls won in each winning hole transmitted to inspection device 300 is associated with the time when the information was recorded in second read/write memory 264, and transmitted to inspection device 300. be. Therefore, in the inspection device 300, as a result of analyzing the character ratio and the continuous character ratio based on the information indicating the total number of balls that have won in each winning hole, when there is a large change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio , specify the time when the total number of balls that won the winning openings used to calculate the changed role ratio or continuous role ratio was recorded in the second reading memory 264, and around that time, By analyzing the total number of balls that have entered each winning slot, the total number of balls that have been shot into the game area, or the game state, it is possible to find the cause of the change in the character ratio or the continuous character ratio.

In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment can produce the same effects as those obtained by the configuration.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 34. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first and second embodiments, the main controller 110 is provided with the role ratio management chip 207, and the role ratio management chip 207 manages the information on the ratio of the pachinko machine 10. explained. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the MPU 201 manages information on the role product ratio. Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment is provided with a role ratio display device 400, and information regarding the role ratio is displayed on the role ratio display device 400. FIG.

The pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first or second embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those of the first or second embodiment. and description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 31 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment differs from the pachinko machines 10 of the first and second embodiments in that the configuration of the main controller 110 is different. Other configurations are the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first and second embodiments.

As described above, the main controller 110 of the third embodiment is not provided with the character product ratio management chip 207, and the MPU 201 manages information on the character product ratio. Specifically, the role product ratio management main process executed by the CPU 261 of the role product ratio management chip 207 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment is executed in the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201. . At this time, each counter and data stored in the first read/write memory 263 of the role product ratio management chip 207 are stored in the RAM 203 in the third embodiment.

Also, the second read/write memory 264 provided in the role product ratio management chip 207 is provided in the main controller 110 in such a manner as to be connected to the input/output port 205 . Further, in the third embodiment, the RTC 266 provided in the character product ratio management chip 207 in the first and second embodiments is incorporated (not shown) in the MPU 201 .

Furthermore, an inspection terminal 207 a to which the inspection device 300 is connected is connected to the input/output port 205 . When the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207 a via a cable and a connector, the MPU 201 executes inspection result output processing, and information on the role item ratio and other information on the inspection are transmitted to the inspection device 300 .

Also, the role ratio display device 400 is connected to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110 . The role ratio display device 400 is composed of, for example, a plurality of 7-segment displays, and is arranged on the main board that constitutes the main controller 110 . That is, when the back side of the pachinko machine 10 is viewed, the display screen of the role ratio display device 400 is assembled so that it can be seen. Note that the display screen of the role ratio display device 400 may be assembled so that it can be seen from the front side of the pachinko machine 10 .

The role ratio display device 400 displays the role ratio, the continuous role ratio, or information related to the role ratio and the continuous role ratio (eg, base value, etc.). The information on the role ratio and the continuous role ratio displayed on the role ratio display device 400 may be, for example, information indicating the total number of balls paid out for winning prizes for each prize opening, or information indicating all prize winnings. The total number of balls paid out by winning to the mouth, the total number of balls paid out by winning to the winning mouth (second starting mouth 64b and the big winning mouth 65a) where the role is activated, and the role are continuous It may be information indicating the total number of balls paid out as a result of winning into the winning opening (large winning opening 65a) operated by Information indicating the total number of balls shot into the game area (the number of shot balls) may be included in the information on the role ratio and the consecutive role ratio displayed on the role ratio display device 400 . The role ratio display device 400 is composed of a liquid crystal display with a predetermined number of pixels, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like, instead of the 7-segment display, and the character ratio, continuous character ratio, or , information related to the character ratio and the continuous character ratio may be displayed.

The MPU 201 has a built-in ROM 202 and a RAM 203, as well as a plurality of registers 200 that store various data in the hierarchy closest to an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), which is the heart of the MPU 201. FIG. The plurality of registers 200 are used for general purposes in a variety of situations, such as temporarily holding values during computation and storing memory addresses required for processing. Various registers such as general-purpose registers and accumulator registers for accumulating and summing the results of operations performed by the ALU are included.

The plurality of registers 200 also includes a flag register 200a (also referred to as a status register or the like) configured with a flag indicating overflow due to ALU calculation, a flag indicating an interrupt state, and the like. The contents of flag register 200a can be updated each time one instruction is executed due to the nature of the register.

The RAM 203 is provided with an inner working area 203x and an outer working area 203y, each of which has a working area (inner working area 203x1, outer working area 203y1) and a stack area (inner stacking area 203x2, outer stacking area 203y2). ) are provided.

This is because, while the MPU 201 performs the main control of the game, when the MPU 201 is configured to manage the information on the role ratio, it is stored in the RAM 203 and used for the main control of the game such as various counters This is because it is necessary to prevent the data from being erroneously destroyed by various counters and data stored in the RAM 203 and used for managing information on the role product ratio. In other words, the various counters and data used for the main control of the game must be protected with high priority in order to protect the interests of the players. In addition, the data saved in the stack area of the RAM 203 when the main control of the game is performed can be used to continue the main control of the game without any problem after the processing related to the management of the information on the character ratio is performed on the way. must be protected to ensure that it is done.

Therefore, the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 stores various counters and data used for main control of the game in the inner work area 203x1 of the use area 203x, and also stores the stack area when performing the main control of the game. data to be saved in the stack area 203x2 in the used area 203x. On the other hand, the MPU 201 stores various counters and data used for managing information on the role product ratio in the outside work area 203y1 of the outside use area 203y. The data to be saved is saved in the outside stack area 203y2 of the outside use area 203y. As a result, the various counters and data used for the main control of the game, and the data saved in the stack area when performing the control can be reliably protected.

Next, referring to FIG. 32, it is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 in the third embodiment. The timer interrupt processing is periodic processing that is repeatedly executed, for example, every 4 milliseconds. The MPU 201 executes this timer interrupt processing to perform various types of processing that should be executed periodically.

In this timer interrupt process, first, a game process for main control of the game is executed (S2001). For example, processes such as S101 to S111 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 described in the first embodiment are executed in the process of S2001. That is, the main control of the game includes a lottery for big wins, setting of variable display, opening and closing control of the big winning opening (large opening) 65a at the time of big winning, winning lottery for the second symbol display device 83, and the like. . As described above, the MPU 201 uses the use area inner area 203x (inner work area 203x1 and inner stack area 203x2) in the RAM 203 while executing the process of S2001.

Next, role ratio processing for managing information on the role product ratio is executed (S2002). Details of the role ratio processing will be described later with reference to FIG. After the processing of S2002, the timer interrupt processing ends.

As described above, in the timer interrupt process of the present embodiment, the game process is performed first, and then the role ratio process is performed, so that the main control of the game, which is the important control, is preferentially executed.

Next, details of the role ratio processing (S2002) executed in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 32) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 33 is a flow chart showing the role ratio processing. In this role ratio processing, first, interrupts are prohibited (S2011), then the flag register 200a is saved in the inner stack area 203x2 by the PUSH instruction (S2012), and then the role ratio main processing is executed by the CALL instruction. Then, the subroutine program is read out and the role ratio main process is executed (S2013). Details of the role ratio main process will be described later with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the MPU 201 uses the used area 203x of the RAM 203 to execute the processing at the stage of the processing of S2011 and S2012.

When the process of S2013 ends and the subroutine program of the role ratio main process returns to this role ratio process, then the flag register 200a saved in the inner stack area 203x2 is restored by a POP instruction (S2015), Permission is granted (S2016), and then the role ratio process is terminated. It should be noted that the MPU 201 also executes the processing of S2015 and S2016 using the used area 203x of the RAM 203 .

In the process of S2012, the load (LD) instruction is used to save the flag register 200a to the inner work area 203x1, and in the process of S2014, the load (LD) instruction is used to save it to the inner work area 203x1. The flag register 200a may be restored.

Next, with reference to FIG. 34, details of the role ratio main process (S2013) executed by reading out the subroutine program in the role ratio process (S2002) (see FIG. 33) will be described. FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing the role ratio main process.

In the role ratio main process, first, a load (LD) command is used to set the stack pointer (not shown) of the MPU 201 to the start position of the outer stack area 203y2 (S2021). As a result, data is saved in the outer stack area 203y2 in subsequent processing. Further, the MPU 201 uses the outer work area 203y1 as the work area of the RAM 203 after this process. That is, the MPU 201 uses the outer work area 203y1 to store various counters and data, and uses the outer stack area 203y2 as necessary.

Next, among the registers 200, the registers 200 (except for the flag register 200a) used in the processing relating to the role product ratio are individually loaded into the areas determined for each of the outer work areas 203y1 by a load (LD) instruction. Save (S2022). Then, a process relating to the role product ratio is executed (S2023).

In the process of S2023, for example, in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the same process as the role product ratio management main process (see FIG. 18) executed by the CPU 261 of the role product ratio management chip 207 is executed. , and also executes processing for controlling the display of the role ratio display device 400 . Also, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the inspection result output processing executed by the CPU 261 of the role product ratio management chip 207 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment (see FIGS. 22 and 30). , may be executed in the process of S2023.

After the processing of S2023 is completed, the stack pointer (not shown) of the MPU 201 is set to a fixed address in the inner stack area 203x2 by a load (LD) instruction (S2024). As a result, in subsequent processing, data starts again in the inner stack area 203x2.

Here, the role ratio processing (S2002) in which the role ratio main processing (S2013) is executed is the game processing (S2001) that executes the main control of the game in the timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. done after it is finished. Further, the timer interrupt processing is read when the counter update processing (S702 to S703) is not executed in the infinite loop (loop of S701 to S703) of the main processing (FIG. 17) executed by the MPU 201. and executed.

Therefore, when the process of S2024 is executed, the inner stack area 203x2 contains the data saved when the main process transitions to the timer interrupt process and the flag register 200a saved by the process of S2012. (However, if the flag register 200a is saved to the inner work area 203x1 by a load instruction, it does not exist in the inner stack area 203x2), and the number of saved data is fixed. Therefore, in the processing of S2012, when the stack pointer is specified at the position stacked in the inner stack area 203x2, the position can be specified reliably only by setting the fixed address for the stack pointer. Before moving the stack pointer from the inner stack area 203x2 to the outer stack area 203y2 (before executing the process of S2012), there is no need to save the value of the stack pointer indicating the inside of the inner stack area 203x2. It is possible to suppress an increase in the capacity of the RAM 203 due to the saving.

Next, by the processing of S2022, the values of the registers 200 individually saved in the determined areas of the outer work area 203y1 are transferred from the determined areas of the corresponding outer work area 203y1 by the load (LD) instruction. By reading and setting in the corresponding register 200, it is restored (S2025). Then, after the process of S2025, the role ratio main process is ended, and the process returns to the role ratio process. Also, after the process of S2025 is completed, the MPU 201 uses the inner work area 203x1 as the work area of the RAM 203. FIG. That is, the MPU 201 uses the inner work area 203x1 to store various counters and data, and uses the inner stack area 203x2 as necessary.

In this way, when the MPU 201 executes the process (S2023) related to the character product ratio, each process is executed using the area outside the use area 203y (the outside work area 203y1 and the outside stack area 203y2). At the stage of shifting to the process of S2023 using the outside area 203y, among the registers 200 provided in the MPU 201, the registers 200 used in the process relating to this character product ratio are individually saved in the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203. do. Then, before the process of S2023 is completed and the MPU 201 returns to the process using the inside area 203x, the registers 200 saved in the outside work area 203y1 are returned to the corresponding registers 200 individually. After that, a game process for main control of the game is executed using the use area inner area 203x (the inner work area 203x1 and the inner stack area 203x2).

Here, from the game processing for mainly controlling the game using the inside area 203x of the usage area, the processing related to the character ratio using the area 203y outside the usage area is performed, and then the game using the inside area 203x of the usage area is performed again. When returning to the game processing that performs the main control of the game, it is necessary to protect the interests of the player and that the main control of the game must be continued without problems. The processing must not be affected by processing related to character ratios. Therefore, the RAM 203 is divided into an area within the use area 203x used for the processing of main control of the game and an area outside the use area 203y used for the processing relating to the character ratio. However, the register 200 has a smaller capacity than the RAM 203, and there is also a register 200 whose purpose of use is specified. It is impossible or difficult to separate

Also, before and after performing the processing relating to the role ratio, in other words, the game processing that mainly controls the game using the inside area 203x of the usage area is shifted to the processing relating to the ratio of the role using the area outside the usage area 203y. The contents of the register 200 are made the same between the step of making a transition from the process relating to the character product ratio using the area outside the use area 203y to the game process for performing the main control of the game using the inside area 203x of the use area. Therefore, there is also a demand to ensure that the game processing that performs the main control of the game is not affected by the processing related to the accessory ratio executed between them.

On the other hand, before performing the processing related to the character product ratio using the area outside the use area 203y, the contents of all the registers 200 are collectively saved to the outer stack area 203y2 using the PUSH command, and the processing related to the character product ratio is performed. A method of collectively returning all the registers 200 from the outer stack area 203y2 using a POP instruction after the execution is also conceivable. However, in this case, in order to save the contents of all the registers 200, it is necessary to set the capacity of the outer stack area 203y2 large in advance. must be transformed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the MPU 201 is provided with a Of the registers 200 obtained, the registers 200 used in the process relating to the role ratio are individually saved to the outside work area 203y1 of the RAM 203, and after the process relating to the role ratio process is executed, the area outside the use area 203y is saved. When shifting (returning) from the process relating to the role product ratio to be used to the game process of performing the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area, the registers 200 evacuated to the outside work area 203y1 are individually returned. As a result, the stage of shifting from the game processing for performing the main control of the game using the area 203x within the usage area to the processing relating to the character ratio using the area 203y outside the usage area and the role using the area 203y outside the usage area Since the content of the register 200 can be the same at the stage of shifting from the process relating to the object ratio to the game process for performing the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area, the game performing the main control of the game can be performed. It can be ensured that the processing is unaffected by the processing of interest ratios performed in between.

In addition, the stage of shifting from the game processing for mainly controlling the game using the inside area 203x to the processing related to the role product ratio using the area outside the area 203y, At the stage of transitioning from the processing relating to the ratio to the game processing in which the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area is performed, instead of saving/restoring the contents of all the registers 200, the process relating to the character product ratio is performed. Since the contents of only some of the registers 200 that are used in this case are saved/restored, the capacity of the RAM 203 (external work area 203y1) required for saving the contents of those registers can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the RAM 203 and secure a large area for storing other data in the external work area 203y1.

Note that the register 200 that is not used in the process relating to the role product ratio is not affected by the process relating to the role product ratio in the first place, and its contents are kept before and after the processing relating to the role product ratio is executed. Therefore, without saving/restoring the contents of the registers 200 that are not used in the process relating to the role product ratio, only the contents of some registers 200 used in the process relating to the role product ratio are saved/restored. It is possible to ensure that the game processing for main control of the game is not affected by the processing relating to the accessory ratio executed between them.

However, since the flag register 200a is a register used for all instructions executed by the MPU 201, it is of course a register used for the process relating to the character ratio. is exceptionally not evacuated. This is because, in the role ratio processing shown in FIG. 33, the content of the flag register 200a is changed only by reading the role ratio main processing (S2013), and the game processing for executing the main control of the game is shifted to the processing relating to the role ratio. This is because the value of the flag register 200a at the time when the game process is completed cannot be saved at the stage of the process of S2022.

Therefore, in this embodiment, before reading the role ratio main processing (S2013) in the role ratio processing shown in FIG. 33, only the flag register 200a is saved in the inner stack area 203x2, , restores only the flag register 200a from the inner stack area 203x2. As a result, the value of the flag register 200a at the end of the game process can be reliably restored after the process relating to the role product ratio is executed.

In addition, the stage of shifting from the game processing for mainly controlling the game using the inside area 203x to the processing related to the role product ratio using the area outside the area 203y, Since the save/restore of the register 200 is performed individually for each register at the stage of shifting from the processing relating to the ratio to the game processing in which the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area is performed, the game is improved. Only the register 200 that needs to be saved/restored in order to ensure that the main control game process is not affected by the process related to the role ratio executed between (that is, the register 200 used for the process related to the role ratio) register 200) can be individually specified and saved/restored.

In addition, since the register 200 is saved in the outer work area 203y1 instead of the outer stack area 203y2, the required capacity of the outer stack area 203y2 can be reduced and a large capacity of the outer work area 203y1 can be secured. In some MPUs 201, the stack area and work area are specified in advance depending on the model (type). Such an MPU 201 has a function of clearing (initializing to 0) the contents of the RAM 203 itself when data is further saved and stacked beyond the area of the stack area designated in advance. be. On the other hand, by saving the register 200 to the outer work area 203y1 instead of the outer stack area 203y2, it is possible to prevent the outer stack area 203y2 from being quickly filled with stacked data. Therefore, in the MPU 201 having such a function, it is possible to prevent the RAM 203 from being cleared due to further stacking of data beyond the predetermined area of the outer stack area 203y2.

In addition, since the register 200 is saved using the load (LD) instruction rather than using the PUSH instruction/POP instruction, the save location can be fixed by the program. Therefore, while performing the processing related to the role product ratio, the area where the register 200 is saved is clearly avoided, and the outside work area 203y1 is programmed to use the main control of the game. The contents of the register 200 used in processing can be reliably protected.

In addition, when all the registers 200 are used in the processing relating to the role product ratio, all the registers 200 are individually saved/restored to a predetermined area of the outer work area 203y1 using a load (LD) command. You can let it run. This also provides the effect of retracting the register 200 to the outer work area 203y1.

Also, when saving some of the registers 200 used in the process related to the role product ratio, they are saved to a determined area of the outer stack area 203y2 using the PUSH instruction individually, and The registers 200 saved in the area where the data is stored may be individually restored using the POP instruction. As a result, the capacity of the RAM 203 required for saving the contents of the registers can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the RAM 203 and secure a large area for storing the outer work area 203y1. In this case, when restoring the register 200 that was saved using the POP instruction, it is necessary to use the LIFO method, that is, the register 200 that was later saved by the PUSH instruction must first be restored by the POP instruction. .

In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can produce the same effects as those obtained by the configuration.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the main controller 110 shifts from the game processing for mainly controlling the game using the area 203x within the usage area to the processing relating to the character ratio using the area 203y outside the usage area. At the stage of doing, the register 200 used in the processing regarding the character ratio is individually saved, and after the processing regarding the character ratio is completed, the processing regarding the character ratio using the area 203 y outside the use area is changed to the inside of the use area. A case has been described in which the evacuated registers 200 are individually restored at the stage of shifting to the game processing for performing the main control of the game using the area 203x. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, in the main controller 110, in the character object processing (S2002) executed in the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 32), the use area area 203x is used. During the execution of the process, at the stage of reading the character product main process (S2013) for executing the process related to the character product ratio using the area outside the use area 203y with the CALL command, the register 200 used in the process related to the character product ratio are individually cleared to 0, and the character object main process (S2013) is read out with a CALL command. Also, in the main character product processing (S2013), when the main character product processing (S2013) using the area outside the use area 203y is terminated and the process returns to the process using the area inside the use area 203x, the process relating to the character product ratio is performed. After clearing the registers 200 used in 1 to 0 individually, the process returns to the role ratio process.

The pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to third embodiments. Description is omitted.

Compared to the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment has a role ratio process (S2002), which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110. A part of the process differs from a part of the role ratio main process (S2013) which is one process of the role ratio process (S2002).

FIG. 35 is a flow chart showing role ratio processing (S2002) in the fourth embodiment. In this role ratio process, first, after executing the same processes of S2011 and S2012 as in the third embodiment, all the registers 200 (except the flag register 200a) used in the process relating to the role ratio are executed. are cleared to 0 using a load (LD) instruction individually. Then, it proceeds to the process of S2013, reads out a subroutine program for executing the role ratio main process using the outside area 203y with the CALL command, and executes the role ratio main process. Then, the same processing of S2014 and S2015 as in the third embodiment is executed, and then the role ratio processing is terminated.

Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing role ratio main processing (S2013) in the fourth embodiment. In this role ratio main process, first, the same S2021 process as in the third embodiment is executed, then the same S2023 process as in the third embodiment (that is, the process regarding the role ratio) is executed, Next, the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the role product ratio are individually cleared to 0 (S2041). Then, the same processing of S2024 as in the third embodiment is executed to end the role ratio main processing using the area 203y outside the usage area, return to the role ratio processing, and perform the processing using the area 203x within the usage area. Execute.

In this fourth embodiment, in the register 200 used in the processing relating to the character product ratio using the outside area 203y, the value is changed by the processing relating to the character product ratio, and the value is left in the corresponding register 200 as it is. On the other hand, even if the MPU 201 executes a game process that mainly controls a game using the use area 203x, it is assumed that the game process is not affected. In this case, originally, the MPU 201 is provided at the stage of shifting from the game processing that performs the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area to the processing related to the role product ratio using the area 203y outside the use area. of the registers 200 used in the processing related to the character ratio, and after executing the processing related to the character ratio, the processing related to the character ratio using the area outside the use area 203y is changed to the inside of the use area There is no problem even if the evacuated register 200 is not restored at the stage of shifting to the game processing for performing the main control of the game using the area 203x. However, in this case, since the value of the register 200 changes before and after the processing relating to the character ratio, it is impossible for an external person to judge whether or not this is really a problem.

Therefore, as in the present embodiment, first, in the role ratio process, the game process that mainly controls the game using the area 203x within the use area is shifted to the process related to the role ratio using the area outside the use area 203y. That is, before reading the subroutine program for executing the role ratio main processing with the CALL command, once all the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the role ratios performed in the role ratio main processing are individually set to 0. clear to Then, in the role ratio main process, after executing the process relating to the role ratio, from the process relating to the role ratio using the area outside the use area 203y, to the game process of performing the main control of the game using the area inside the use area 203x , all the registers 200 used in the process related to the role ratio (that is, the same register 200 as the register 200 cleared to 0 before executing the role ratio main process) are individually set to 0. clear. As a result, the stage of shifting from the game process of performing the main control of the game using the area 203x within the use area to the process relating to the character ratio using the area outside the use area 203y (the stage of reading the role ratio main process); a stage of transitioning from the process relating to the role ratio using the area outside the use area 203y to the game process of performing the main control of the game using the area inside the use area 203x (the stage of returning from the role ratio main process to the role ratio process); , the contents of register 200 can be made identical at first glance. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the game processing that performs the main control of the game is not affected by the processing related to the accessory ratio executed between them. Note that the contents of the register 200 that is not used in the processing relating to the role ratio is not changed before and after the processing relating to the role ratio and is kept, so even if the unused register 200 is not cleared to 0, It becomes the same at both stages.

Here, in the fourth embodiment, in the processing of S2031 and S2041, a case has been described in which the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the character product ratio are individually cleared to 0, but it is not always necessary to clear them to 0. For example, even if the same predetermined value is stored in the processes of S2031 and S2041, the above effect can be obtained. However, immediately after the power is turned on and the reset input to the MPU 201 is released (at the stage when software initialization is not executed), all registers are initialized to 0. Therefore, S2031 and S2041 2, it is desirable to individually clear (initialize) to 0 the registers 200 used in the process relating to the character product ratio. In addition, by individually clearing the registers 200 used in the processing relating to the character product ratio to 0, it can be grasped at a glance that the registers 200 have been cleared to 0.

In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to third embodiments can produce the same effect as that of the configuration.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a fifth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 44. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, instead of the role ratio display device 400 provided in the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment, four 7-segment displays (lower right of the 7-segment part There is provided a base display 401 (see FIG. 38(a)) consisting of 401a, 401b, 401c, 401d (including dot segments provided on the side). The base value of the pachinko machine 10 is displayed on the base display device 401 as one piece of information relating to the role product ratio.

The base value is the number (percentage) of balls paid out (prize balls) to 100 balls in the normal time except for the big hit, the high probability (probability variable) time, and the time saving time. In the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the number of out balls guided from the game area to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls hit into the game area, in other words, the number of balls used in the game). hereinafter referred to as "total number of outs") reaches 60,000, the base value for the 60,000 balls is measured and stored.

Then, on the base display device 401, the base value measured in real time during the period until the total number of outs reaches 60000 (hereinafter referred to as the "real-time base value") and the previous (most recent) total out number In addition to the base value measured when the number of outs reached 60000 (hereinafter referred to as the "previous base value"), one before the previous time (the time before last) was measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 The base value (hereinafter referred to as the "previous base value") and the base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 (hereinafter referred to as the "previous (referred to as the “time base value”) is switched and displayed every predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment). In addition to the real-time base value, multiple past base values (previous base value, two-previous base value, two-previous base value) are also displayed, making it possible to more accurately determine whether or not there has been fraudulent activity. In addition, the timing of the fraud can also be made predictable to some extent.

Further, in the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power is turned on. is turned on for a predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment). In the base display device 401, if some segments do not light up due to disconnection or other failure, the base value and the like cannot be displayed correctly, and there is a risk of making an erroneous judgment as to whether or not fraudulent activity has occurred. By turning on all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 every time the power is turned on for a predetermined period, it is possible to check whether all the segments can be normally turned on. It can be easily determined whether the display of 401 is performed normally.

In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment can be used when the pachinko machine 10 is completely new in the manufacturing factory, or when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand table. When starting up, the display on the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches a predetermined number (300 in this embodiment) is displayed in a special display mode different from the normal base value display. . When the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, there is a case where a ball is put into each winning hole by hand and the prize balls are dispensed during a shipping inspection or the like for checking the quality of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly started, the display on the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches a predetermined number (300 in this embodiment) is different from the normal base value display. By displaying in a different special display mode, it can be shown that the base value being displayed is not the normal base value. In addition, by performing the display, it is possible to suggest that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state.

The pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machines 10 of the first to fourth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fourth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to fourth embodiments. Description is omitted.

FIG. 37 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment differs from the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment in that the role ratio display device 400 is connected to the main controller 110 in the third embodiment, whereas the fifth embodiment is connected to the main controller 110. In the embodiment, the base display device 401 is connected to the main controller 110 . This base display device 401 is for displaying the base value of the pachinko machine 10 as described above.

In the role ratio display device 400 according to the third embodiment, together with the role ratio of the pachinko machine 10, the base value of the pachinko machine 10 may be switched and displayed every predetermined period. Further, in the present embodiment, the inspection terminal 207a does not necessarily have to be provided, and the configuration for outputting the information on the character object ratio to the inspection device 300 is not necessary. Also, if the information on the character product ratio is not output to the inspection device 300, the second reading memory 264 may be omitted.

Details of the base display device 401 will now be described with reference to FIG. First, FIG. 38( a ) is a schematic diagram schematically showing the base display device 401 . The base display device 401 is composed of four 7-segment displays 401 a to 401 d arranged in a horizontal line and arranged on the main substrate constituting the main controller 110 . That is, the display screen of the base display device 401 is assembled so that the display screen of the base display device 401 can be seen when looking at the back side of the pachinko machine 10, so that four-digit numbers or alphabetic characters can be confirmed. Note that the pachinko machine 10 may be assembled so that the display screen of the base display device 401 can be seen from the front side.

Each of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d has a 7-segment portion and a dot segment provided on the lower right side of the 7-segment portion. Of the four 7-segment displays 401a-401d, the base display device 401 uses the left two 7-segment displays 401a and 401b as identification segments and the right two 7-segment displays 401c and 401d as ratio segments. do. The identification segment is used to indicate identification information for specifying the content displayed in the ratio segment. A ratio segment is used to display the ratio of the content specified by the identification information indicated by the identification segment.

FIG. 38(b) is a schematic diagram schematically showing display contents on the base display device 401. As shown in FIG. As described above, the base display device 401 displays the real-time base value measured in real time during the period until the total number of outs reaches 60,000, and The previous base value measured in , and the previous base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 one before the previous time (the time before last), and the base value measured one time before the time before last ) The second-last base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 is switched every 5 seconds and displayed.

When the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, "bL." is displayed in the identification segment, and the real-time base value being measured is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. By displaying "bL." in the identification segment, the viewer can be made aware that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the real-time base value.

When displaying the previous base value on the base display device 401, "b1." is displayed in the identification segment, and the previous base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. By displaying "b1." in the identification segment, it is possible to make the viewer recognize that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the previous base value.

In the base display device 401, when displaying the base value before last, "b2." is displayed in the identification segment, and the base value before last is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. By displaying "b2." in the identification segment, it is possible for the viewer to recognize that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the base value the time before last.

In the base display device 401, when displaying the base value before last, "b3." is displayed in the identification segment, and the base value before last is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. By displaying "b3." in the identification segment, it is possible for the viewer to recognize that the number displayed in the ratio segment is the base value two times before.

In this way, the base display device 401 displays base values for a plurality of times in the past (previous base value, pre-previous base value, pre-previous base value) in addition to the real-time base value. Here, the real-time base value is a base value that is measured in real time until the total number of outs reaches 60000, as described above. Here, in a hall, a game is generally played with about 10,000 to 20,000 balls being hit out of one pachinko machine 10 per day. That is, the previous base value, the base value before the last time, and the base value before the last time measured for 60,000 balls indicate the base values over several days, about 3 to 6 days. If the real-time base value is not displayed on the base display device 401, it will take about 3 to 6 days to measure the base value for 60000 spheres. It could be the base value from 3-6 days ago. Therefore, if there is any fraudulent activity after the previous base value measurement, the next 3 to 6 days during which the base values for the next 60,000 balls are measured and displayed on the base display device 401, that Fraud may go undetected. On the other hand, by displaying the real-time base value on the base display device 401, it is possible to show the current base value as a preliminary value. You can discover the possibility that there was an act.

On the other hand, the real-time base value is the base value measured in real time when the total number of outs is less than 60000, as described above. As described above, the base value is the number (proportion) of balls paid out (prize balls) to 100 balls under normal conditions. The real-time base value may fluctuate depending on (for example, the normal state happened to continue for a long time, the big win state happened to occur frequently, the probability variable state happened to continue for a long time, etc.). Therefore, if only the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, it may be difficult to determine whether or not there has been fraudulent activity.

On the other hand, the last base value, the base value before the last time, and the base value before the last time measured for 60,000 balls show the base values over several days, about 3 to 6 days, No matter what game state the pachinko machine 10 follows for the corresponding several days, the base value of the previous game, the base value of the previous game, and the base value of the game before the previous game can be averaged. Therefore, by displaying not only the real-time base value on the base display device 401 but also the base values measured for 60,000 balls such as the previous base value, it is possible to make a more accurate determination of the presence or absence of fraud. can.

On the other hand, when only the previous base value is displayed as the base value measured for 60000 balls, it is assumed that a player who happened to be accustomed to the pachinko machine 10 played a game during the period during which the previous base value was measured. Then the base value will generally be low. Therefore, even if only the real-time base value and the previous base value are displayed on the base display device 401, it may be difficult to determine whether or not there has been fraudulent activity. On the other hand, as the base values measured for 60,000 balls, not only the previous base value, but also multiple base values such as the base value before the last time and the base value before the time before last are displayed. , it is possible to determine whether or not the base value has fluctuated based on the player's familiarity with the game. Therefore, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of fraudulent activity more accurately.

In this embodiment, the base display device 401 switches and displays the real-time base value, the previous base value, the base value before the last time, and the base value before the time before last every 5 seconds. may be increased, and display may be switched between a mode in which the real-time base value and the previous base value are simultaneously displayed and a mode in which the second-previous base value and the second-last base value are simultaneously displayed at predetermined intervals. Also, the real-time base value, the previous base value, the time before last base value, and the time before last base value may all be displayed on the base display device 401 at the same time.

Further, in the present embodiment, as base values measured for 60,000 spheres to be displayed on the base display device 401, three base values, ie, the previous base value, the pre-previous base value, and the pre-previous base value are displayed. , but it is also possible to display two values, the previous base value and the base value of the time before last, or in addition to the base value of the previous time, the base value of the time before last, and the base value of the time before last, the base value of the time before last It is also possible to further display the base value of the time before last measured when the total number of out-outs reached 60000 one time before (the time before the time before before). That is, as the base values measured for 60000 spheres to be displayed on the base display device 401, any number of 2 or more base values may be displayed.

Returning to FIG. 37, the description continues. The base display device 401 is connected to a base display device control circuit 402 provided in the main controller 110 and connected to the input/output port 205 . The base display device control circuit 402 drives and controls each of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d of the base display device 401 based on the drive/control signal from the MPU 201, thereby providing various displays as shown in FIG. It displays.

In the processing for displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the processing is performed using the non-use area 203y of the RAM 203. FIG. That is, the information necessary for displaying the base value on the base display device 401 is stored in the outside work area 203y1 of the outside use area 203y. Here, with reference to FIG. 39, the details of the information necessary for displaying the base value on the base display device 401, which is stored in the outside work area 203y1, will be described. First, FIG. 39(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing information necessary for displaying the base value stored in the outer work area 203y1 of the RAM 203. FIG.

Information necessary for displaying the base value stored in the outside work area 203y1 includes a total out count counter 203j, a low-probability payout count counter 203k, a real-time base value data 203l, a previous base value data 203m, and a two-previous base value data. 203n, second-last base value data 203o, new startup flag 203p, and display type counter 203q are prepared at least.

Of these, the total out number counter 203j, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real-time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the two-previous base value data 203n, the two-previous base value data 203o, and the new startup flag 203p are Even if the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is being operated, the information is retained without being initialized (cleared). As a result, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is operated when the power is turned on, the real-time base value measurement that has been performed before the operation is continued, and the measured real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401. can be made Further, the base display device 401 can display the previous base value, the base value before the previous base value, and the base value before the previous base value held before the operation of the RAM erase switch 122 .

On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, a RAM all-erase switch (not shown) is provided in the board box 100 housing the main board, and only when the power is turned on while the RAM all-erase switch is being operated, Total out number counter 203j, low probability payout number counter 203k, real-time base value data 203l, previous base value data 203m, pre-previous base value data 203n, pre-previous base value data 203o, new startup flag 203p are stored in RAM 203. It is designed to be initialized (cleared). When starting up the pachinko machine 10 completely new in the manufacturing factory, or when moving the used pachinko machine 10 to another hall as a second-hand machine, etc., the RAM all erase switch is operated. By turning on the power while doing so, total out number counter 203j, low probability payout number counter 203k, real-time base value data 203l, previous base value data 203m, two-previous base value data 203n, two-previous base value data 203o, new The rise flag 203p can be initialized, from which the measurement of the base value can be started anew. In addition, even when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand machine, the information can be initialized (cleared) so that the base value can be reduced if fraud is committed in the previous hall. is changed, the information is continuously displayed at the next store, thereby suppressing suspicion that there has been fraudulent activity at the next store. Moreover, since the RAM all-erasing switch is provided in the circuit board box 100 that is unopenably connected, it cannot be operated unless the circuit board box 100 is unsealed by breaking the connection. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent person from erasing the information necessary for displaying the base value, and to reliably protect the information.

Only when a hole such as a keyhole is provided instead of the RAM all-erase switch and a key or the like matching the hole is inserted, the total out number counter 203j, the low-probability payout number counter 203k, the real-time base value data 203l, The previous base value data 203m, the second previous base value data 203n, the second last base value data 203o, and the new startup flag 203p may be initialized. As a result, only those who have a key or the like that fits the hole can erase the information necessary to display the base value, so it is possible to suppress the erasure of the information necessary to display the base value by a fraudulent person. , you can reliably protect this information.

The total out number counter 203j is a counter for counting the total number of outs, which is the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of balls used in the game). The total out number counter 203j is initialized to zero when the power is turned on while operating the RAM erase all switch, and when a ball is detected by the out switch 208f, the ball is guided to the ball discharge path. 1 is added as When the total number of outs counter 203j reaches 60000, the MPU 201 determines that the total number of outs has reached 60000, executes a predetermined process described later, and initializes the total number of outs counter 203j to zero. become As a result, the total number of outs is counted again by the total out number counter 203j until the total number of outs reaches 60,000.

The low-probability payout number counter 203k is a counter for counting the number of prize balls paid out in normal times except for the big hit, the high-probability (probability variable) time, and the time-saving time. The low-probability payout number counter 203k is initialized to zero when the power is turned on while the RAM all-erase switch is being operated. When the game state is normal and there is a payout of balls (prize balls), the number of the putout balls is added to the low-probability payout number counter 203k.

For example, in the present embodiment, in the normal state, the opening is always open for the first starting opening 64a called "navel", and the first normal winning opening 63a and the second normal winning opening 63b, which are general winning openings. When it is detected by the first starting opening switch 208a, the first normal winning opening switch 208c, and the second normal winning opening switch 208d, the number of prize balls set for the corresponding winning opening is detected. is determined by the prize ball number table 202e (see FIGS. 6 and 9), and the number of prize balls is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, if a "small win" is provided as one mode of "losing" and the big winning opening 65a is configured to be opened for several seconds when a "small win" occurs, the game state is changed. However, in normal times, when the large winning opening 65a is opened in the "small hit", there is a ball entering the big winning opening 65a, and if the winning ball is played, the number of the winning balls is a low probability payout number counter 203k may be added to Also, when the game state is normal, when a ball enters the second starting port 64b and a prize ball is played, the number of prize balls may be added to the low-probability payout number counter 203k.

The number of winning balls is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k until the total out number counter 203j reaches 60,000. That is, the value of the low probability payout number counter 203k when the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000 is the number of balls paid out when the game state is normal, with respect to 60000 balls hit into the game area. number.

When the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000, the total out number counter 203j and the low probability payout number counter 203k are initialized to zero. As a result, the number of balls put out in the normal game state is counted by the low probability payout number counter 203k until the total out number reaches 60000 again.

The MPU 201 calculates the real-time base value using the following formula (1) every predetermined period (for example, every 4 milliseconds when timer interrupt processing is executed).
Real-time base value=value of low probability payout counter 203k/value of total out counter 203j×100 (1)
The real-time base value calculated by the formula (1) is stored in the real-time base value data 203l.

That is, the real-time base value data 203l is data indicating the measured (calculated) real-time base value. Further, the previous base value data 203m is data indicating the previous base value, the second last base value data 203n is data indicating the second last base value, and the second last base value data 203o is data indicating the second last base value. be.

Here, with reference to FIG. 39(b), configurations of the real-time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the two-previous base value data 203n, and the two-previous base value data 203o will be described. FIG. 39(b) is a schematic diagram schematically showing the structure of each base value data 203l to 203o.

As shown in FIG. 39(b), each base value data 203l to 203o is composed of 8 bits (1 byte), the 7th bit (most significant bit) on the MSB side is a valid data flag, and the remaining The base value is stored in the 0th to 6th bits (lower 7 bits). For each of the base value data 203l to 203o, when the valid data flag is 1, it means that the valid base value is stored in the 0th to 6th bits. On the other hand, for each of the base value data 203l to 203o, when the valid data flag is 0, it means that no valid base value is stored in the 0th to 6th bits.

All of the base value data 203l to 203o are initialized to zero with the valid data flag and the base value when the power is turned on while the RAM all erase switch is being operated. That is, immediately after the power is turned on while operating the RAM erasing switch, valid data is not stored in any of the real-time base value, the previous base value, the two-previous base value, and the two-previous base value.

After that, until the total out number counter 203j reaches 300, the real-time base value calculated by the formula (1) is stored in the base value of the real-time base value data 203l. The valid data flag of is left 0. In this case, when the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, "88." Blink (or light) on the segment.

As described above, the RAM all-erasing switch is used when the pachinko machine 10 is completely newly started up in the manufacturing factory, or when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand table. It is operated when When the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, there is a case where a ball is manually inserted into each prize winning hole and the prize balls are paid out in a shipping inspection or the like for confirming the quality of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, the identification segment "88." At the same time, the real-time base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l is displayed in the ratio segment by blinking (or lighting) in a special display mode different from the normal base value display, so that the base value being displayed is normal. can indicate that it is not the base value (effective base value) of In addition, by performing the display, it is possible to suggest that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state. In this special display mode, both "88." of the identification seg and the real-time base value of the ratio seg may be lit or blinked. Further, the identification segment "88." may be lit and the real-time base value of the ratio segment may be blinked, or conversely, the identification segment "88." may be blinked and the real-time base value of the ratio segment be lit. may

When the total out number counter 203j reaches 300, the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is set to 1. As a result, the base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l becomes a valid base value. Therefore, when the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l becomes 1, the identification segment of the base display device 401 is illuminated with "bL.", and the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is displayed in the ratio segment. By doing so, an effective real-time base value can be reported.

On the other hand, at this stage, the valid data flags of the previous base value data 203m, the pre-previous base value data 203n, and the pre-previous base value data 203o are all 0. At this time, when the base display device 401 switches to display the previous base value, the base value before the last time, and the base value before the time before last on the base display device 401 by switching every predetermined period, the identification segment is displayed corresponding to each base value, while the ratio segment is displayed. “--” lights up. This makes it possible to indicate that no effective base value has been obtained as the previous base value, the pre-previous base value, and the pre-previous base value.

When the total out number counter 203j reaches 60,000, the base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l at that time becomes the base value for the total out number of 60,000. Therefore, the second-last base value data 203n is shifted to the second-last base value data 203o, the last-last base value data 203m is shifted to the second-last base value data 203n, and the real-time base value data 203l is shifted to the last-last base value data 203m. shift. As a result, the base value measured when the total number of outs reaches 60000 is held as the previous base value.

Here, when data is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to be shifted is "1", and the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m after the shift is "1". is also "1". Therefore, from now on, when the previous base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the previous base value data 203m is displayed in the ratio segment as an effective base value.

When the previous base value data 203m is shifted to the second previous base value data 203n, if the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is "1" (when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, After all the RAM 203 is initialized, the total number of outs reaches 60000 for the second time), the effective data flag of the post-shift base value data 203n becomes "1". Therefore, from now on, when the base value of the time before last is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the base value data 203n of time before last is displayed in the ratio segment as an effective base value.

Furthermore, when the base value data 203n is shifted to the base value data 203o before the previous one, if the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before the previous one is "1" (while the RAM all erase switch is being operated, the power is turned on). After the RAM 203 is turned on and the RAM 203 is all initialized, the total number of outs reaches 60000 for the third time), the effective data flag of the base value data 203o two before the shift after the shift is set to "1". ”. Therefore, after this, when the base value of the time before last is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the base value data 203o of time before last is displayed in the ratio segment as an effective base value.

When the total out number counter 203j reaches 60000 and the real-time base value data 203l is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the total out number counter 203j is initialized to 0, and the real-time base value data 203l is also reset. Initialized to 0, including the valid data flag. The valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is kept at 0 until the total out number counter 203j reaches 300 again. 1 is stored in the flag. Thereafter, 1 is held in the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l until the total out number counter 203j reaches 60,000.

Here, while the total number of outs is small, the measured real-time base value is greatly influenced by the content of the game at that time, so even if it is displayed, it will be a meaningless base value, and it will adversely affect the judgment of cheating. There is a risk of Therefore, by setting the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 0 when the total number of outs is between 0 and 300, when the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the real-time base While "bL." indicating the value is lit, "--" is lit for the ratio segment. This makes it possible to indicate that a current effective real-time base value has not been obtained due to a small total number of outs. In this case, the identification segment may flash "bL." indicating the real-time base value, and the ratio segment may display the base value of the real-time base value data 203l. As a result, it is possible to indicate that the current effective real-time base value has not been obtained since the total number of outs is small, and to notify the real-time base value at that time as a reference.

On the other hand, after the total number of outs reaches 300, by setting the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 1, when the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the real-time While "bL." indicating the base value is lit, the ratio segment displays the base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l as the valid base value.

Returning to FIG. 39(a), the new start-up flag 203p is set when the pachinko machine 10 is completely new in the manufacturing factory, or when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand table. 10 is a flag indicating that it is in the new start-up period. When the new start-up flag 203p is on, it indicates that the pachinko machine 10 is in the new start-up period, and when it is off, it indicates that the pachinko machine 10 is not in the new start-up period.

The new start-up flag 203p is initialized to ON when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all-erase switch which is operated when the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, and the pachinko machine 10 is initialized during the new start-up period. is shown to be The new startup flag 203p is kept on until the total out number counter 203j reaches 300, and when the total out number counter 203j exceeds 300, the new startup flag 203p is set off. After that, the new rising flag 203p is kept off.

When the new start-up flag 203p is ON, the base display device 401 displays the above-described special display mode, that is, blinking (or lighting) "88." The real-time base value is displayed by blinking (or lighting) the stored real-time base value. In addition, by performing the display, it is possible to suggest that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state.

The display type counter 203 q is a counter for determining the type of base value to be displayed on the base display device 401 . When the display type counter 203q is 0, the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, and when the display type counter 203q is 1, the previous base value is displayed on the base display device 401, and the display type counter 203q is displayed. is 2, the base display device 401 is caused to display the base value before last, and when the display type counter 203q is 3, the base display device 401 is caused to display the base value before last.

The display type counter 203q is set when the new start-up flag 203p is set to OFF, that is, when the total number of outs after the new start-up of the pachinko machine 10 reaches 300 and the new start-up period ends. , is initialized to 0. The display type counter 203q is counted up by 1 every 5 seconds, and when the value of the display type counter 203q is 3 when counting up, it is reset to 0. As a result, the base value displayed on the base display device 401 changes every five seconds in the order of the real-time base value, the previous base value, the time before last base value, and the time before last base value, and the time before last base value is displayed. After that, it returns to the real-time base value, and the display of the real-time base value, the previous base value, the time before last base value, and the time before last base value is repeated while being switched every 5 seconds.

Next, with reference to FIG. 40, startup processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 when main controller 110 is powered on in the fifth embodiment will be described. FIG. 40 is a flow chart showing this start-up process. Here, this start-up process will be described, focusing on the differences from the start-up process (see FIG. 16) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 in the first embodiment. It should be noted that, as described above, the same reference numerals are given to the portions where the same processing as the start-up processing of the first embodiment is executed, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, when it is determined by the process of S604 that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on (S604: Yes), and when it is determined by the process of S605 that the RAM 203 does not store power failure occurrence information ( S605: No), when it is determined that the calculated RAM determination value is not normal by the processing of S607 (S607: No), after transmitting a payout initialization command to the payout control device 111 (S614), the RAM 203 Among the used areas, total out number counter 203j, low probability payout number counter 203k, real-time base value data 203l, previous base value data 203m, two-last base value data 203n, and two-last The area excluding the base value data 203o and the new startup flag 203p is cleared to 0 (S3001), and the initial value is set to the cleared area of the RAM 203 excluding the information necessary for displaying the base value (S3002). .

As a result, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is operated when the power is turned on, the real-time base value measurement that has been performed before the operation is continued, and the measured real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401. can be made Further, the base display device 401 can display the previous base value, the base value before the previous base value, and the base value before the previous base value held before the operation of the RAM erase switch 122 . Even if the fraudulent person operates the RAM erasing switch 122 to erase the evidence, the information necessary for displaying the base value is kept, so that the erasure of the evidence of the fraudulent act can be suppressed.

If it is determined by the process of S604 that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S604), then it is determined whether or not the RAM all erase switch is turned on (S3003). Then, if the RAM all-erase switch is not turned on (S3003: No), the process proceeds to S605.

On the other hand, if the RAM all-erase switch is turned on (S3003: Yes), similarly to the processing of S614, a payout initialization command is transmitted to initialize the payout control device 111 (S3004), and then the RAM 203 All initialization processing (S3005, S3006) is executed. In the full initialization process (S3005, S3006) of the RAM 203, the total out number counter 203j, the low probability payout number counter 203k, the real-time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, and the two-previous base value, which are information necessary for displaying the base value. The used area of the RAM 203 including the value data 203n, the second-last base value data 203o, and the new startup flag 203p is cleared to 0 (S3005), and then the initial value is set in the RAM 203 (S3006).

As described above, the RAM all-erasing switch is used when the pachinko machine 10 is completely newly started up in the manufacturing factory, or when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand table. It is designed to be operated when Then, by turning on the power while operating the RAM all-erase switch, the total out number counter 203j, the low-probability payout number counter 203k, the real-time base value data 203l, the previous base value data 203m, the two-previous base value data 203n, and the two-previous The base value data 203o and the new rise flag 203p can be initialized each time, and from there, the measurement of the base value can be newly started. In addition, even when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand machine, the information can be initialized (cleared) so that the base value can be reduced if fraud is committed in the previous hall. is changed, the information is continuously displayed at the next store, thereby suppressing suspicion that there has been fraudulent activity at the next store. Moreover, since the RAM all-erasing switch is provided in the circuit board box 100 that is unopenably connected, it cannot be operated unless the circuit board box 100 is unsealed by breaking the connection. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent person from erasing the information necessary for displaying the base value, and to reliably protect the information.

When any of the processes of S609, S3002, and S3006 is executed, then all the segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are lit (S3007), In this state, wait processing is executed for 5 seconds (S3008). As a result, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all the segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are lit continuously for at least 5 seconds. .

In the base display device 401, if some segments do not light up due to disconnection or other failure, the base value and the like cannot be displayed correctly, and there is a risk of making an erroneous judgment as to whether or not fraudulent activity has occurred. By turning on all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 for at least 5 seconds every time the power is turned on, it is possible to check whether all the segments are normally turned on. It can be easily determined whether the display of the device 401 is performed normally.

In addition, the start-up processing waits for 5 seconds during which the lighting is performed, and the start of the normal game processing is awaited. As a result, when the base value cannot be displayed correctly on the base display device 401, it is possible to prevent the game from proceeding without being able to determine whether or not there has been fraudulent activity. In such a case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of some disadvantage to the player, the hall, or the like.

In this embodiment, every time the power is turned on, all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are lit, and the game is stopped for 5 seconds so as not to progress. However, while the lighting is being performed, normal game processing may be started to progress the game. In this case, only the display of the base value on the base display device 401 may be put on standby while the real-time base value is measured as the game progresses. As a result, even if all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are turned on when a momentary power failure occurs, the player can immediately finish playing. can resume.

In the startup process, after the process of S3008, the process proceeds to the process of S613.

Next, with reference to FIG. 41, base value processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 in the fifth embodiment will be described. FIG. 41 is a flow chart showing the base value processing. This base value processing is the role ratio processing of the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 32) periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds) executed by the MPU 201 in the main control unit 110 shown in the third embodiment. This is executed as one process of (S2002), and performs calculation (measurement) of the base value and display of the base value.

In this base value processing, first, base value calculation processing is executed (S3101) to calculate (measure) the real-time base value, and when the total number of outs reaches 60000, each base value data 203l to 203o , etc., are executed. The details of this base value calculation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, it is determined whether or not 1 second has passed since the base value display processing (S3103) was executed last time (S3102), and it is determined that 1 second has passed since the base value display processing (S3103) was executed last time. If so (S3102: Yes), base value display processing is executed (S3103), and processing for displaying the base value on the base display device 401 is executed. The details of the base value display processing will be described later with reference to FIGS. 43 and 44. FIG.

When the processing of S3103 is completed, the base value processing ends. On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S3102, if it is determined that one second has not passed since the base value display processing (S3103) was executed last time (S3102: No), the base value display processing (S3103) is skipped. to end the base value processing. As a result, the base value display process (S3103) is executed at intervals of one second, and the display of the base display device 401 is driven and controlled every second.

In the determination process of S3102, when the process of S3102 is executed for the first time after the power of the main controller 110 is turned on (that is, after the start-up process shown in FIG. 40 is executed), the previous Without checking whether one second has passed since the value display processing (S3103) was executed, the affirmative determination is made (S3102: Yes), and the base value display processing (S3103) is executed. As a result, the driving control process of the base display device 401 can be executed immediately after the start-up process shown in FIG. 40 is executed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 42, details of the base value calculation process (S3101), which is one of the base value processes executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 42 is a flow chart showing the base value calculation process.

In the base value calculation process (S3101), first, at least the output of each switch of the first starting opening switch 208a, the first normal winning opening switch 208c, the second normal winning opening switch 208d and the out switch 208f is read, and the first starting opening 64a, the first normal winning opening 63a and the second normal winning opening 63b determine whether or not there is a prize won, and whether or not there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path, and store detection information (winning detection information) (S3201). ). It should be noted that determination of winning of one ball and determination of one ball guided to the ball discharge path is performed over three times of timer interrupt processing based on the outputs of the respective switches 208a, 208c, 208d and 208f.

Next, it is determined whether or not the out switch 208f is on (S3201), and if it is determined that the out switch 208f is on and there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path (S3201: Yes), total out 1 is added to the number counter 203j (S3203). As a result, the total out number, which is the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path (that is, the number of hit balls), is counted by the total out number counter 203j.

After the process of S3203 or when it is determined by the process of S3201 that the out switch 208f is not ON and there is no ball guided to the ball discharge path (S3201: No), then the game state is the jackpot. Instead, it is determined whether it is a low probability state and not a time saving state, that is, whether the game state is normal time (S3204). Then, when the game state is not the jackpot time, the low-probability state, and the time-saving state, that is, when it is determined that the game state is the normal time (S3204: Yes), the process of S3205 is executed.

That is, in the process of S3205, based on the winning detection information saved in the process of S3201, it is determined that a prize has been won among the first start opening 64a, the first normal winning opening 63a, and the second normal winning opening 63b. If there is an opening, the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning opening (that is, the number defined by the winning ball number table 202e) is added to the low probability payout number counter 203k. As a result, the number of prize balls paid out in the normal time except for the big hit, the high probability (probability variable) time, and the time saving time is counted by the low probability payout number counter 203k.

After the process of S3205 or by the process of S3204, when the game state is a jackpot time, a high probability (probability variation) time, or a time saving time, that is, if it is determined that the game state is not normal time (S3204: No), then, the real-time base value is calculated by the above formula (1), and the calculated real-time base value is stored as the base value of the real-time base value data 203l (S3206). By this processing, the base value is measured in real time.

Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the total out number counter 203j is 60000, that is, whether or not the total number of outs has reached 60000 (S3207). As a result, when the total out number has not reached 60000 (S3207: No), the processing of S3208 to S3210 is skipped, and the process proceeds to S3211. On the other hand, if the total out number has reached 60,000 (S3207: Yes), the processing of S3208 to S3210 is executed, and the processing shifts to S3211.

In the process of S3208, first, the base value data 203n of the time before last is shifted to the base value data 203o of time before last, the base value data 203m of the previous time is shifted to the base value data 203n of time before last, and the real-time base value data 203l is shifted to the base value data 203n of time before last. It is shifted to the base value data 203m (S3208). As a result, the real-time base value measured when the total number of outs reaches 60,000 is held as the previous base value, and thereafter the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 as the previous base value. Further, the base values displayed as the previous base value and the base value before the last time are displayed on the base display device 401 as the base value before the last time and the base value before the time before last.

Note that each base value may be stored in a FIFO (First In First Out) ring buffer. In this case, the address (ring buffer pointer) storing the real-time base value may be updated in the process of S3208. However, when the base value is stored in the FIFO system ring buffer, once the ring buffer pointer is broken due to some influence such as noise, the base value may not be correctly stored in the RAM 203 and displayed. be. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, the area of the RAM 203 for storing the real-time base value, the previous base value, the base value before the last time, and the base value before the time before last is fixed, and each time the total number of outs reaches 60000, By shifting the data between them, it is possible to avoid the above problem that may occur when the base value is stored in the FIFO ring buffer.

Also, in the process of S3208, these shift processes are executed with one LDIR instruction. The LDIR instruction enables block transfer of data by simply setting the start address (HL) of the data to be transferred, the start address (DE) of the transfer destination, and the number of transfer bytes (BC). That is, data is transferred from (HL) to (DE), 1 is added to both (HL) and (DE), and 1 is subtracted from (BC). Then, this is repeated until (BC) becomes zero. Therefore, the two-previous base value data 203o is stored at the address (AA) (AA is one address of the RAM 203), the two-previous base value data 203n is stored at the address (AA+1), and the previous base value data 203m is stored at the address (AA+2). ), store the real-time base value data 203l at the address (AA+3), set the start address (HL) of the data to be transferred to (AA), set the transfer destination address to (AA+1), By setting the number of transfer bytes to 3 bytes and executing one LDIR instruction, the shift processing in S3208 can be easily realized.

In the subsequent processing of S3209, the base value of the real-time base value data 203l and the valid data flag are initialized to 0 (S3209). As a result, the base value is newly measured in real time until the total number of outs reaches 60,000, while the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l remains until the total number of outs reaches 300. It is kept as 0. While the total number of outs is small, the real-time base value measured is greatly influenced by the game content at that time, so even if it is displayed, it will be a meaningless base value, and there is a risk that it will adversely affect the judgment of cheating. be. Therefore, by setting the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 0 when the total number of outs is between 0 and 300, when the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the real-time base While "bL." indicating the value is lit, "--" is lit for the ratio segment. This makes it possible to indicate that the current effective real-time base value has not been obtained due to the small total number of outs.

In the subsequent processing of S3210, the total out number counter 203j is initialized to 0 (S3210). As a result, the total number of outs is counted again by the total out number counter 203j until the total number of outs reaches 60,000.

In the processing of S3211, it is determined whether or not the value of the total out number counter 203j is 300, that is, whether or not the total number of outs has reached 300 (S3211). As a result, if the total number of outs has not reached 300 (S3211: No), the processing of S3212 to S3215 is skipped and the base value calculation processing ends. On the other hand, if the total number of outs has reached 300 (S3211: Yes), the processing of S3212 to S3215 is executed, and then this base value calculation processing ends.

In the process of S3212, it is determined whether or not the new startup flag 203p is ON (S3212). As a result, when the new start-up flag 203p is ON (S3212: Yes), it means that the pachinko machine 10 is in the new start-up period by turning on the power while operating the RAM all erase switch. . Then, as a result of the processing of the previous S3211, the total number of outs has reached 300, so it is time to end the new start-up period, so the new start-up flag 203p is set to off (S3213). Then, the display type counter 203q is initialized to zero (S3214). As a result, the real-time base value, the previous base value, the time before last base value, and the time before last base value are switched and displayed on the base display device 401 every five seconds.

After the processing of S3214, or when it is determined that the new startup flag 203p is off by the processing of S3212 (S3212: No), then the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is set to 1. be. As a result, after the total number of outs reaches 300, by setting the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to 1, when the real-time base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the identification segment is: While "bL." indicating the real-time base value is lit, the ratio segment displays the base value stored in the real-time base value data 203l as the effective base value.

Next, referring to FIGS. 43 and 44, details of the above-described base value display processing (S3103), which is one of the base value processing executed by MPU 201 in main controller 110 and which is executed at intervals of one second. will be explained. 43 and 44 are flowcharts showing the base value calculation processing (S3103).

First, referring to FIG. 43, when the base value calculation process (S3103) is started, it is determined whether or not the new startup flag 203p is ON (S3301). If the new start-up flag 203p is ON (S3301: Yes), it means that the pachinko machine 10 is in the new start-up period because the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch. Therefore, the base display device control circuit 402 causes the identification segment of the base display device 401 to blink (or light up) "88." and the ratio segment to blink (or light up) the base value of the real-time base value data 203l. (S3302). Then, the base value display processing ends.

As described above, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly launched, there is a case where balls are manually put into the winning holes and paid out during the shipping inspection for checking the quality of the pachinko machine 10 and the like. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁Therefore, during the new start-up period of the pachinko machine 10, the display of the base display device 401 blinks (or lights) "88." Indicate that the base value being displayed is not the normal base value (effective base value) by displaying it in a special display mode that is different from the normal base value display, such as blinking (or lighting) in the ratio segment. can be done. In addition, by performing the display, it is possible to suggest that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state.

On the other hand, if the result of the process of S3302 is that the new startup flag 203p is off (S3301: No), then it is determined whether 5 seconds have passed since the display type counter 203q was updated or initialized (S3303). As a result, if 5 seconds have passed (S3303: Yes), the display type counter 203q is updated (S3304), and the process proceeds to S3305 shown in FIG. On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3303, if five seconds have not elapsed (S3303: No), the process of S3304 is skipped and the process proceeds to the process of S3305 shown in FIG.

In updating the display type counter 203q in S3304, if the display type counter 203q is other than 3, 1 is added to the display type counter 203q. If the display type counter 203q is 3, the display type counter 203q is initialized to 0. By updating the display type counter 203q every 5 seconds, the types of base values displayed on the base display device 401 are the real-time base value, the previous base value, the base value before the previous base value, the base value before the previous base value, and the real-time base value. , previous base value, . . . every 5 seconds.

Referring to FIG. 44, in the process of S3305, the value of display type counter 203q is determined (S3305). When the display type counter 203q is 0 (S3305: "0"), it is the period during which the base display device 401 displays the real-time base value. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is 1 (S3306). , and a control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so that the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is displayed in the ratio segment (S3307). As described above, when the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is measured for the total number of outs of 300 or more, the valid data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is set to 1, indicating that the base value is valid. is set to Therefore, the measured real-time base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 as an effective base value.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3306, when the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l is 0 (S3306: No), the identification segment of the base display device 401 is lit and displayed as "bL." A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to display "--" (S3308).

As described above, if the base value of the real-time base value data 203l is measured when the total number of outs is less than 300, the base value is determined to be invalid and the valid data of the real-time base value data 203l 0 is set to the flag. This makes it possible to indicate that the current effective real-time base value has not been obtained due to the small total number of outs.

If the display type counter 203q is 1 as a result of the process of S3305 (S3305: "1"), it is the period during which the previous base value is displayed on the base display device 401. FIG. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is 1 (S3309). ” is lit and the base value of the previous base value data 203m is lit and displayed in the ratio segment (S3310). As a result, when a valid base value is stored in the previous base value data 203m, the valid previous base value can be displayed on the base display device 401 to show it.

Further, when the total out number reaches 60000 and the data is shifted to the previous base value data 203m, the effective data flag of the real-time base value data 203l to be shifted is "1", and the previous data after the shift The effective data flag of the base value data 203m also becomes "1". Therefore, when the previous base value is displayed on the base display device 401 after the total number of outs reaches 60000 for the first time after the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, the previous base value stored in the previous base value data 203m The base value will appear in the ratio segment as the valid base value.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3309, if the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is 0 (S3309: No), "b1." A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to display "--" (S3311). As a result, when a valid base value has not been obtained as the previous base value, the "--" displayed in the ratio segment can indicate that the valid previous base value has not been obtained.

If the display type counter 203q is 2 as a result of the process of S3305 (S3305: "2"), it is the period during which the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 the time before last. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before last is 1 (S3312). , and a control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so that the base value of the base value data 203n before the previous time is displayed in the ratio segment (S3313). As a result, when a valid base value is stored in the base value data 203n before last, the valid base value before last can be displayed on the base display device 401 to show it.

When the previous base value data 203m is shifted to the second previous base value data 203n, if the valid data flag of the previous base value data 203m is "1" (when the power is turned on while operating the RAM all erase switch, After all the RAM 203 is initialized, the total number of outs reaches 60000 for the second time), the effective data flag of the post-shift base value data 203n becomes "1". Therefore, after this, when the base value of the time before last is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the base value data 203n of time before last is displayed in the ratio segment as an effective base value.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3312, if the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before the last time is 0 (S3312: No), "b2." A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to display "--" (S3313). As a result, when a valid base value is not obtained as the pre-previous base value, "--" displayed in the ratio segment can indicate that the pre-previous base value has not been obtained.

When the display type counter 203q is 3 as a result of the process of S3305 (S3305: "3"), it is the period in which the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 two times before. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the valid data flag of the base value data 203o two times before last is 1 (S3315). A control signal is sent to the base display device control circuit 402 so that "b3." As a result, when an effective base value is stored in the base value data 203o before the last time, the effective base value before the time before last can be displayed on the base display device 401 and shown.

When the base value data 203n is shifted to the base value data 203o before the previous one, if the valid data flag of the base value data 203n before the previous one is "1" (while the RAM all erase switch is being operated, the power is turned on). After the RAM 203 is turned on and the RAM 203 is all initialized, the total number of outs reaches 60000 for the third time), the effective data flag of the base value data 203o two before the shift after the shift is set to "1". ”. Therefore, after this, when the base value of the time before last is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value stored in the base value data 203o of time before last is displayed in the ratio segment as the effective base value. Become.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S3315, when the effective data flag of the base value data 203o two times before is 0 (S3315: No), the identification segment of the base display device 401 lights up and displays "b2." A control signal is transmitted to the base display device control circuit 402 so as to display "--" in the ratio segment (S3317). As a result, when a valid base value is not obtained as the base value of the time before last, the "--" displayed in the ratio segment indicates that the base value of the time before last is not obtained. can be shown.

When any one of S3307, S3308, S3310, S3311, S3313, S3314, S3316, and S3371 ends, the base value display process ends as shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the base display device 401 displays a real-time base value (hereinafter referred to as "real-time ), the previous base value measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 last time (most recently), and the total number of outs reached 60000 one before the previous time (the time before last). and the base value of the time before last measured when the total number of outs reached 60000 one before (the time before the time before) the time before the time before the time before the time before the time when displayed by switching to . In addition to the real-time base value, multiple past base values (previous base value, two-previous base value, two-previous base value) are also displayed, making it possible to more accurately determine whether or not there has been fraudulent activity. In addition, the timing of the fraud can also be made predictable to some extent.

Further, in the fifth embodiment, every time the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the power is turned on. is lit for a predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment). This makes it possible to confirm whether or not all the segments can be lit normally, and easily determine whether or not the display on the base display device 401 is performed normally.

In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment can be used when the pachinko machine 10 is completely new in the manufacturing factory, or when the used pachinko machine 10 is moved to another hall as a second-hand table. When starting up, the display on the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches a predetermined number (300 in this embodiment) is displayed in a special display mode different from the normal base value display. . When the pachinko machine 10 is newly started up, there is a case where a ball is put into each winning hole by hand and the prize balls are dispensed during a shipping inspection or the like for checking the quality of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Therefore, the base value at this time greatly differs from the actual base value of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁Therefore, when the pachinko machine 10 is newly started, the display on the base display device 401 until the total number of outs reaches a predetermined number (300 in this embodiment) is different from the normal base value display. By displaying in a different special display mode, it can be shown that the base value being displayed is not the normal base value. In addition, by performing the display, it is possible to suggest that the pachinko machine 10 is in a new start-up state.

In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fourth embodiments can provide the same effects as those obtained by the configuration.

<Sixth embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a sixth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 45 to 58. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fifth embodiments, the jackpot probability and/or the hit probability of the second symbol are set in advance by the main controller 110, and the jackpot probability and/or the hit probability of the second symbol are preset by the hall staff. It was made impossible to change the hit probability of 2 symbols. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, the jackpot probability and/or the second symbol winning probability are set in multiple stages (set values "1" to "6" in this embodiment) by hall officials and the like. 6 steps)). Then, the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment changes the set value (hereinafter referred to as "probability set value") of the jackpot probability and/or the second pattern winning probability (hereinafter referred to as "setting change mode") or When confirming the probability setting value (hereinafter referred to as "setting confirmation mode"), the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 provided in the pachinko machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment. Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment is configured such that the history of errors occurring in the pachinko machine 10 (hereinafter referred to as "error history") can be displayed on the base display device 401. FIG.

The pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fifth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to fifth embodiments. Description is omitted.

FIG. 45 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, the base display device 401 is arranged on the main substrate constituting the main controller 110, and as shown in FIG. The display screen of the device 401 is assembled so that it can be seen. The base display device 401 displays the base value in the normal state, and displays the probability set value in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. Also, the base display device 401 is configured to be able to display an error history.

Further, on the main board constituting the main controller 110, setting keys 501 used to change the set probability setting value or to check the set probability setting value, and a base display device 401 An error display button 502 is provided for use when displaying an error history. The setting key 501 and the error display button 502 are provided so as to project from the main board through a hole provided in the board box 100, and can be operated by hall personnel or the like without opening the board box 100. FIG.

Here, the setting key 501 will be described with reference to FIG. 46(a) is a front view of the setting key 501 when the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, and FIG. 46(b) is a front view of the setting key 501 when the setting key 501 is in the ON state. It is a front view of. By inserting a dedicated key into a keyhole provided in the setting key 501, the setting key 501 can be switched between two positions, an off side indicated by "OFF" and an on side indicated by "ON". It is configured to be rotatable. The setting key 501 is turned off when positioned on the off side, and turned on when positioned on the warm side.

In the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, a pachinko game is played according to the states of the RAM erase switch 122, the setting key 501, and the door open switch (not shown). determine the start-up mode of machine 10; The door open switch is a switch for detecting that the inner frame 12 has been unlocked and opened (the door has been opened).

FIG. 47 shows the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10, the RAM erase switch 122, the setting key 501 and the door opening switch ( not shown).

As the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10, four modes of a normal mode, a RAM clear mode, a setting change mode, and a setting confirmation mode are prepared. The RAM clear mode is a mode for erasing (clearing) data stored in the RAM 203 in order to restore the pachinko machine 10 to its initial state. The setting change mode is a mode for changing the set probability setting value. The setting confirmation mode is a mode for confirming the set probability setting value.

The normal mode is a startup mode other than the RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode. This is a mode for restarting the game of the pachinko machine 10 from the state before power-off by executing various start-up processes while holding the data stored in the RAM 203 except for .

When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on without turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 and with the setting key 501 in the off state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the normal mode. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the RAM clear mode.

On the other hand, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 while turning on the setting key 501, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting change mode on condition that the door opening switch is turned on. . When the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the setting key 501 turned on and the RAM erasing switch 122 turned off, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in a setting confirmation mode on condition that the door opening switch is on.

Thus, if the setting key 501 is turned off when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 can be operated by the pachinko machine 10 depending on whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. As the start-up mode, it is possible to select a RAM clear mode, which is a start-up mode unrelated to the set probability value, or a normal mode.

On the other hand, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, if the setting key 501 is turned on after the inner frame 12 is unlocked and opened, the hall staff can turn on the RAM erase switch 122 or not. Depending on whether or not, as the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to select a setting change mode related to the probability setting value or a setting confirmation mode.

That is, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or turned on, a startup mode unrelated to the probability set value and a startup mode related to the probability set value can be selected. When the start-up mode that is not related to the set probability value is selected, it is possible to select whether the start-up mode is the RAM clear mode or the normal mode depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. When the start-up mode related to the probability setting value is selected, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode can be selected depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on.

Here, when the probability set value is changed, the jackpot probability and/or the second pattern winning probability in the game are changed, so if the game is continued by taking over the game state before the power is cut off, the pachinko machine 10 may not be able to exhibit the predetermined game performance. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 erases (clears) the data stored in the RAM 203 when the probability setting value is changed in the setting change mode. On the other hand, since the setting confirmation mode is a start-up mode for only confirming the probability setting value, the data stored in the RAM 203 is held (not cleared) so that the game can be continued by taking over the game state before the power is turned off. .

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode in which the data in the RAM 203 is cleared, the inner frame 12 is unlocked and released, and the setting key 501 is turned on to erase the RAM. If the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the switch 122 and the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting confirmation mode in which the data in the RAM 203 is not cleared, the setting is made after unlocking the inner frame 12. The pachinko machine 10 is powered on while the key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off.

In this way, when starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode related to the probability setting value, the setting key 501 is turned on before the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on. When starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode or setting change mode for clearing the data stored in the RAM 203, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch 122 (while turning it on). In other words, if the people involved in the hall understand the meaning of each start-up mode, they can easily understand what kind of operation is necessary for the pachinko machine 10 required for the start-up mode to be started from now on.

Also, in order to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, a dedicated key that can be inserted into the setting key 501 is required, and the key is managed by the hall. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a player from arbitrarily confirming the probability setting value and searching for a pachinko machine 10 having a high jackpot probability and/or winning probability, or from arbitrarily changing the probability setting value to a high probability. In addition, since the RAM erase switch 122 is provided at a position that is not easily touched by a normal player, it is possible to prevent the player from arbitrarily changing the probability setting value to a high probability.

In addition, the number of switches to be operated at the same time is two even when starting up in the setting operation mode, and since both hands can be sufficiently operated, the operability is good. As described above, the persons involved in the hall can easily and simply select the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 by selectively turning on/off the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 .

In this embodiment, when starting up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the door opening switch is on, that is, the inner frame 12 is open on the condition that

This is because, in order to change or confirm the probability setting value, it is necessary for a person involved in the hall or the like to visually recognize the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. 12 must be open. Therefore, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on without opening the inner frame 12 even though the setting key 501 is in the ON state, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is not started up, and the setting key 501 is turned on. As in the off state, the pachinko machine 10 is started in the normal mode when the RAM erasure switch 122 is off, and the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode when the RAM erasure switch 122 is on. As a result, although the inner frame 12 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, and the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, and the game starts in the pachinko machine 10. You can prevent it from starting. Further, in order to open the inner frame 12, a dedicated key managed by the hall side is required. Therefore, the player arbitrarily opens the inner frame 12, confirms the probability setting value, searches for a pachinko machine 10 with a high jackpot probability and/or winning probability, or arbitrarily changes the probability setting value to a high probability. You can control what you do.

In addition, when starting up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the door opening switch must be on, that is, the inner frame 12 must be open. It doesn't have to be. That is, when the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 enters the setting change mode regardless of whether or not the door opening switch is turned on. You can start with When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off, the pachinko machine 10 is placed in the setting confirmation mode regardless of whether or not the door opening switch is on. may be launched.

Now, the pachinko machine 10 has a setting change mode and a setting confirmation mode for changing or confirming the probability setting value as one of the start-up modes. is enabled only when the pachinko machine 10 is started up (when the power is turned on) by this setting confirmation mode, and the probability setting value cannot be confirmed while the game is in progress. This is for the following reasons.

That is, the display of the character ratio, such as the display of the base value by the base display device 401, the display of the character ratio, etc., and the display of the values representing the game performance, the game state, etc., make it possible to detect cheating at an early stage. Therefore, in principle, it must be displayed during the game. Therefore, at least the probability set value cannot be displayed while the player is playing a game.

If the setting key 501 is turned on so that the probability setting value can be displayed at a time other than when the pachinko machine 10 is started up, even if it is while the player is playing a game. If so, it is conceivable to stop the game. However, although the main controller 110 can stop the variable time when the game is stopped, there is a risk that the third symbol display device 81 will continue to perform the variable effect. A mismatch may occur between the audio ramp controller 113 and the display controller 114 .

In addition, if the setting key 501 is turned on so that the probability setting value can be displayed at a time other than when the pachinko machine 10 is started up, it is possible to do so while the player is playing a game. It is also conceivable to continue playing the game even if the probability setting value is confirmed on the base display device 401, but it is necessary to open the inner frame 12 in order to confirm the display of the base display device 401. Therefore, it is practically difficult for the player to continue playing the game.

Also, after the setting key 501 is turned on, it is conceivable to display the probability setting value on the base display device 401 after waiting for all the variable effects including the big win and the reserved part to be completed. However, many of the variable performances include long variable performances, some of which continue for about 5 minutes. In addition, the variation time of the normal symbols is set long in the normal game state, and it takes a long time to complete all of these reservations, so it is difficult to wait until the probability setting value is displayed.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10, when the probability setting value is to be changed or confirmed, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is once turned off, the setting key 501 is turned on, and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on again. Thus, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401 while the game is not being played on the pachinko machine 10, and the probability setting value can be surely changed or confirmed by a person involved in the hall. Further, by turning off the power of the pachinko machine 10 once, the state before the power-off is backed up in the RAM 203, and the start-up process is performed without clearing the backed-up state, so that the setting confirmation mode can be performed. Even if the set value is confirmed, the game can be restarted from the state before the power was turned off.

Also, by limiting the change or confirmation of the probability setting value to the start-up of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to prevent the player from checking or changing the probability setting value without permission during normal times.

FIG. 48(a) is a diagram showing the role of the RAM erase switch 122 and setting key 501 in the setting change mode. FIG. 48(b) is a diagram showing the role of the setting key 501 in the setting confirmation mode.

As shown in FIG. 48(a), when the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on in the setting change mode, the probability set value displayed on the base display device 401 is updated. Further, when the setting key 501 is turned off in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 at that time is determined as the probability setting value for the pachinko machine 10 .

In this embodiment, "1" to "6" can be set as the probability setting value, and for each probability setting value ("1" to "6"), the jackpot random number and/or the second A winning random number value of the symbol is stored in the ROM 202 in advance. The jackpot random number value and/or the number of second symbol winning random number values determined for each probability setting value determines the jackpot probability and/or the second symbol winning probability for that probability setting value. In the pachinko machine 10, the smaller the probability setting value (closer to 1), the lower the probability of the big win and/or the probability of winning the second symbol. Alternatively, the jackpot random number value and/or the second symbol winning random number value are determined for each probability setting value so that the probability of winning the second symbol is high.

The jackpot random number value and/or the second symbol win random number value is fixed, and the range and/or the random number generated for the jackpot lottery is set for each probability setting value ("1" to "6"). Alternatively, the range of random numbers generated for performing the winning lottery for the second symbol may be stored in the RAM 203 in advance. The jackpot random number range and/or the second symbol winning random number range determined for each probability setting value determines the jackpot probability and/or the second symbol winning probability at the probability setting value.

In the setting change mode, the set probability value displayed on the base display device 401 is incremented by one each time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. However, when the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on when the probability set value displayed on the base display device 401 is "6", the probability set value displayed on the base display device 401 is updated to "1". be. That is, every time the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed in the setting change mode, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is looped while being incremented by one within the range of "1" to "6".

Then, in the setting change mode, when the setting key 501 is turned off, the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 at that time is determined as the probability setting value of the pachinko machine 10 . After the data in the RAM 203 is cleared, the pachinko machine 10 performs game control with the fixed probability setting value and displays the base value on the base display device 401 .

In the setting confirmation mode, as shown in FIG. 48(b), when the setting key 501 is turned off, the setting confirmation mode is ended, and instead of the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed. display.

Next, with reference to FIG. 49, display contents of probability setting values displayed on the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode will be described. FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram schematically showing various examples of display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, and FIG. 49(a) is one example.

In the example shown in FIG. 49(a), all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401 are turned off in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. In addition, among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, all the segments of the left 7-segment display 401c are turned off, and only the right 7-segment display 401d is used, Displays the probability setting value (1 to 6).

As described in the fifth embodiment, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, characters (bL., b1. ) is displayed, in the example shown in FIG. 49(a), all segments of the identification segment are turned off in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. As a result, the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the probability setting value is displayed. It is possible to grasp whether the information is the base value or the set probability value. Also, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. For example, if the base value is "6", it is displayed as "06" in the ratio segment. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 49(a), in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value is displayed using only the 7 segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment, and the 7 segment display on the left side. Since all the segments of the segment display 401c are turned off, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be turned on, you will see all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c to the left of the ratio segment are turned off. Therefore, the information displayed on the base display device 401 can be clearly understood by the persons involved in the hall or the like.

FIG. 49B is a schematic diagram showing another example of display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. In the example shown in FIG. 49(b), in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401, only the segment of the horizontal bar in the middle lights up, Turn off other segments. That is, "--" is displayed in the identification segment. Also, in the left 7-segment display 401c among the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, only the middle horizontal bar segment is lit and the other segments are extinguished. In other words, "-" is also displayed in the relevant segment. Then, only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment is used to display the probability setting values (1 to 6).

This also makes it possible to clearly differentiate the display state of the identification segment between when the base value is displayed and when the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It is possible to let the user know whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a set probability value. In addition, in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value is displayed using only the right 7-segment display 401d of the ratio segment, and "-" is displayed on the left 7-segment display 401c. Therefore, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be lit, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is the set probability value by looking at the display of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It is possible to make the people involved in the hall and the like understand clearly.

FIG. 49(c-1) is a schematic diagram showing another example of display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49(c-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of the content. In this example, the display contents are changed between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. Specifically, for the identification seg, all segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification seg are extinguished, as in FIG. 49(a). On the other hand, the ratio segment displays "H" indicating the setting change mode or "C" indicating the setting confirmation mode in the left seven segment display 401c of the seven segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment. , the probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed on the right 7-segment display 401d.

This also makes it possible to clearly differentiate the display state of the identification segment between when the base value is displayed and when the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It is possible to let the user know whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a set probability value.

Also, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. For example, if the base value is "6", it is displayed as "06" in the ratio segment. On the other hand, in the examples shown in FIGS. 49(c-1) and (c-2), in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting is performed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment. In the left 7-segment display 401c, "H" is displayed in the setting change mode, and "C" is displayed in the setting confirmation mode. As a result, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be lit, the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment displays "H" or "C", which is different from the number, so that the base display device 401 It is possible to make the persons involved in the hall and the like clearly understand that the information displayed in the table is the set probability value.

In addition, by displaying different display contents on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is possible to clearly indicate whether the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is present. be able to.

FIG. 49(d-1) is a schematic diagram showing another example of the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49(d-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of the content. In this example as well, similar to FIGS. 49(c-1) and (c-2), the display contents are changed between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. Specifically, as in FIG. 49(b), in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b that constitute the identification segment, only the middle horizontal bar segment is lit, and the other segments are turned off. That is, "--" is displayed in the identification segment. On the other hand, in the ratio segment, the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d that constitute the ratio segment enter the setting change mode in the left 7-segment display 401c, as in FIGS. 49(c-1) and (c-2). "H" indicating the setting confirmation mode or "C" indicating the setting confirmation mode is displayed, and the probability setting values (1 to 6) are displayed on the right seven-segment display 401d.

This also makes it possible to clearly differentiate the display state of the identification segment between when the base value is displayed and when the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401. It is possible to let the user know whether the information displayed in 401 is a base value or a set probability value. In addition, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be lit, the base display device 401 can display "H" or "C" different from the number on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It is possible to make the persons involved in the hall and the like clearly understand that the displayed information is the set probability value. In addition, by displaying different display contents on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is possible to clearly indicate whether the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is present. be able to.

FIG. 49(e-1) is a schematic diagram showing another example of display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode, and FIG. 49(e-2) is a display of the base display device 401 in the setting confirmation mode. It is a schematic diagram showing another example of the content. In this example as well, the display contents are changed between the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. 49(d-1) and (d-2). Specifically, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment, "SH." is displayed in the setting change mode, and "SC." is displayed in the setting confirmation mode. On the other hand, the ratio segment extinguishes all segments of the left 7-segment display 401c and uses only the right 7-segment display 401d to display the probability setting values (1-6).

As described above, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, characters (bL., b1, . On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 49A, "SH." indicating the setting change mode is displayed in the case of the setting change mode, and "SC." indicating the setting confirmation mode is displayed in the case of the setting confirmation mode. . In this way, the display contents displayed in the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed and the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. Therefore, at a glance, it is possible to grasp whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is the base value or the set probability value. In addition, by displaying different display contents in the identification segment in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, it is possible to clearly indicate whether the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is currently being performed.

Also, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment, while in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode, the 7-segment display on the right side of the ratio segment is displayed. 401d is used only to display the probability setting, and all segments of the left 7-segment display 401c are extinguished, so even if the identification seg is broken and cannot be illuminated, the left 7 of the ratio seg is Seeing that all the segments of the segment display 401c are turned off, it is clear to hall officials that the information displayed on the base display device 401 is at least the probability set value, not the base value. can be grasped.

Returning to FIG. 45, the description is continued. An error display button 502 is a button for displaying an error history on the base display device 401 . As described above, the base display device 401 can display the error history, which is the history of errors that have occurred in the pachinko machine 10 . This error history display is displayed on the base display device 401 only while the error display button 502 is being pressed. That is, the base value continues to be displayed on the base display device 401 unless the error display button 502 is pressed.

Improper use of giving a shock to the pachinko machine 10 or bringing a magnet close to it to change the flowing direction of the balls to make the balls enter various prize-winning openings to intentionally obtain prize balls or make a jackpot lottery. An act or a fraudulent act such as letting a ball pass through the through gate 67 to intentionally perform a winning lottery of normal symbols may be performed. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 is configured so as to be able to detect an impact and an approach of a magnet, and when these are detected, the game is stopped as a serious error. At this time, the base display device 401 continues to display the base value instead of displaying the error history.

Supposing that the error type is displayed on the base display device 401 when a serious error is detected, the base display device 401 could be the one who has committed an illegal act to change the base value or the like. In order to hide the base value displayed in , the pachinko machine 10 is intentionally impacted or a magnet is brought close to cause a serious error, causing the base display device 401 to display the error type, and the base value is not displayed. It is conceivable to direct

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10, even if a serious error is detected, by continuing to display the base value on the base display device 401, a person who commits a fraudulent act such as changing the base value etc. It is possible to make it impossible to hide the display of the base value after a fraudulent act, and to reliably discover fraudulent activity with respect to the base value.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the error display button 502 is pressed, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 only while the error display button 502 is being pressed. From the displayed error history, the persons concerned with the pachinko hall can grasp what kind of error occurred in the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加When the pressing operation of the error display button 502 is released, the base value is displayed again on the base display device 401 .

Note that the error history may display only the error type that occurred most recently. In addition, it is also possible to display the error types for a maximum of multiple times (for example, four times) going back from the error, including the error that occurred most recently. When displaying the error types for a plurality of times at maximum, the error types are displayed on the base display device 401 for a predetermined time in order from the time of occurrence that is closest to the current time. Further, when the error display button 502 is pressed when no error has occurred in the pachinko machine 10 (or when there is no record of the error), the error is displayed while the pressing operation is being performed. A display indicating that there is no record may be displayed on the base display device 401, or the base value may be displayed as it is.

In the pachinko machine 10, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 while the error display button 502 is being pressed. When the button 502 is pressed once, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401. When the error display button 502 is pressed once while the error history is being displayed on the base display device 401, the base display device 401 It may be configured to redisplay the base value.

Here, with reference to FIG. 50, display contents when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 will be described. FIG. 50 is a schematic diagram schematically showing various examples of display contents when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, and FIG. 50(a) is one example.

In the example shown in FIG. 50(a), when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, all the segments of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b constituting the identification segment of the base display device 401 are turned off. In addition, of the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, the left 7-segment display 401c displays "E" indicating that the error history is to be displayed, and the right 7-segment display is displayed. The error type is displayed numerically using only the device 401d. For example, "1" is displayed as an error type for an impact detection error, and "2" is displayed as an error type for a magnet detection error.

As described in the fifth embodiment, when the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, characters (bL., b1. ) is displayed, in the example shown in FIG. 49(a), all segments of the identification segment are turned off in the case of the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode. As a result, the display state can be clearly differentiated between the case where the base value is displayed on the base display device 401 and the case where the error history is displayed. It is possible to grasp whether the information being read is the base value or the error history. Also, when displaying the base value on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. For example, if the base value is "6", it is displayed as "06" in the ratio segment. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 50(a), when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the probability setting value is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment, and the probability setting value is displayed on the left side. Since "E" indicating error history display is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be lit, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is the error history. This can be made clear to the people involved in the hall.

In addition, even if the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49(a), FIG. When the error history is displayed on the display device 401, the 7-segment display 401c on the left side displays "E" indicating the display of the error history. The display state can be clearly differentiated depending on the case, and it is possible to grasp whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability set value or an error history at a glance. can.

49(b), 49(d-1), (d-2), 49(e-1), and (e- In the case of 2), the display in the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the display of the probability setting value and the display of the error history. It is possible to grasp whether the information received is a probability set value or an error history. When the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the 7-segment display 401c on the left side displays "E" indicating the display of the error history. Also, the information displayed on the base display device 401 can be clearly understood by the hall staff and others.

FIG. 50(b) is a schematic diagram showing another example of display contents when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 50(b), when the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, in the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b that constitute the identification segment of the base display device 401, only the middle horizontal segment is lit. and turn off other segments. That is, "--" is displayed in the identification segment. In addition, of the 7-segment displays 401c and 401d constituting the ratio segment of the base display device 401, the left 7-segment display 401c displays "E" indicating that the error history is to be displayed, and the right 7-segment display is displayed. Using only the device 401d, the error type is displayed numerically in the same manner as in FIG. 50(a).

This also makes it possible to clearly differentiate the display state between the case of displaying the base value on the base display device 401 and the case of displaying the error history on the base display device 401. It is possible to grasp whether the information displayed is the base value or the error history. When the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the base history is displayed using only the 7-segment display 401d on the right side of the ratio segment, and the error history is displayed on the 7-segment display 401c on the left side. Since "E" is displayed, even if the identification segment is broken and cannot be lit, the information displayed on the base display device 401 can be confirmed by looking at the display of the 7-segment display 401c on the left side of the ratio segment. It is possible to make the persons involved in the hall and the like clearly understand that the set value is the probability setting value.

In addition, even if the display contents of the base display device 401 in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode are as shown in FIG. 49(b), FIG. When the error history is displayed on the display device 401, the 7-segment display 401c on the left side displays "E" indicating the display of the error history. The display state can be clearly differentiated depending on the case, and it is possible to grasp whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a probability set value or an error history at a glance. can.

49(a), 49(c-1), (c-2), 49(e-1), and (e- In the case of 2), the display in the identification segment can be clearly differentiated between the display of the probability setting value and the display of the error history. It is possible to grasp whether the information received is a probability set value or an error history. When the error history is displayed on the base display device 401, the 7-segment display 401c on the left side displays "E" indicating the display of the error history. Also, the information displayed on the base display device 401 can be clearly understood by the hall staff and others.

FIG. 50(c-1) is a schematic diagram showing an example of display contents when displaying the error type that occurred most recently as an error history, and FIG. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of display contents when displaying an error type that has occurred second closest in time as . In the examples of FIGS. 50(c-1) and (c-2), of the 7-segment displays 401a and 401b forming the identification segment, the left 7-segment display 401a displays "E" indicating error history display. is displayed, and the 7-segment display 401b on the right side displays a numerical value indicating the number of times the error type to be displayed relates to an error that has recently occurred. That is, when the identification segment is displayed as "E1.", it indicates that the error type of the error that occurred most recently is displayed, and when the identification segment is displayed as "E2." indicates that the error type of the second most recent error is displayed. On the other hand, the ratio segment turns off all segments of the left 7-segment display 401c and uses only the right 7-segment display 401d to display the error type.

In this way, the display content displayed in the identification segment is different for the case of displaying the base value, the case of displaying the probability setting value, and the case of displaying the error history. can be differentiated. Therefore, at a glance, it is possible to recognize whether the information displayed on the base display device 401 is a base value, a set probability value, or an error history. In addition, in the identification segment, by displaying a numerical value indicating how close in time the error type to be displayed relates to the error that occurred, It can be clearly indicated whether it relates to an error that has occurred.

When the base value is displayed on the base display device 401, the base value is displayed in two digits in the ratio segment. Only the indicator 401d is used to display the error type, and all the segments of the left 7-segment indicator 401c are turned off. Seeing that all the segments of the 7-segment display 401c are turned off, it is possible to make the people involved in the hall clearly understand that the information displayed on the base display device 401 is not at least the base value. can. Then, from the situation that the error display button 502 is pressed, etc., not when the pachinko machine 10 is started up, the information displayed on the base display device 401 is an error history to the hall staff. can be easily comprehended.

Next, referring to FIG. 51, the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37 indicates that the base display device 401 is displaying the probability set value in the setting change mode (hereinafter referred to as "setting changing display"). and a display mode indicating that the probability set value is being displayed in the setting confirmation mode (hereinafter referred to as "setting confirmation display").

First, FIG. 51(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing the LED 37a of the first pattern display device 37. As shown in FIG. A plurality of LEDs 37a are provided as described above in the description of the first embodiment, and depending on the lighting state of the plurality of LEDs 37a, a variable display is performed, a pattern according to the result of the lottery is displayed after the variable display, or a reserved series is displayed. show. In addition, the LED 37a includes seven round number notification LEDs 37a1 (first round number notification LED to seventh round number notification LED) for notifying the maximum number of rounds in the big win when a big win occurs.

The pachinko machine 10 uses the round number notification LED 37a1 to light the round number notification LED 37a1 in a lighting pattern different from the notification of the maximum number of rounds, thereby confirming that the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed. Notifies that display is being performed.

FIG. 51(b) shows a lighting pattern for notifying that the maximum number of rounds is 2, a lighting pattern for notifying that the maximum number of rounds is 15, and a setting changing LED 37a1. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lighting pattern for notifying that the display is on, and a lighting pattern for notifying that the setting confirmation display is on;

When the maximum number of rounds is 2, the lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 is as follows: the first round number notification LED is "off"; the second round number notification LED is "off"; is "off", the fourth round number notification LED is "off", the fifth round number notification LED is "on", the sixth round number notification LED is "on", and the seventh round number notification LED is "on". .

The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 when notifying that the maximum number of rounds is 15 is that the first round number notification LED is "on", the second round number notification LED is "on", and the third round number notification LED is "on". is "on", the fourth round number notification LED is "on", the fifth round number notification LED is "off", the sixth round number notification LED is "off", and the seventh round number notification LED is "off". .

The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 when notifying that the setting is being changed is as follows: the first round number notification LED is "on", the second round number notification LED is "off", and the third round number notification LED is "off". The fourth round number notification LED is "on", the fifth round number notification LED is "on", the sixth round number notification LED is "off", and the seventh round number notification LED is "on".

The lighting pattern of the round number notification LED 37a1 when notifying that the setting confirmation display is in progress is as follows: the first round number notification LED is "on"; the second round number notification LED is "off"; The fourth round number notification LED is "off", the fifth round number notification LED is "on", the sixth round number notification LED is "off", and the seventh round number notification LED is "on".

In addition, in this embodiment, the number of rounds notification LED 37a1 is used to not only notify the maximum number of rounds at the time of a big hit, but also to indicate that the setting is being changed or that the setting is being checked by a lighting pattern different from the lighting pattern used in those notifications. Although the case of notifying that the display is being performed has been described, using an LED other than the round number notification LED 37a1, such as an LED that notifies the jackpot design or an LED that notifies the winning design, or the entire LED 37a, the original A lighting pattern that is not used for notification may be used to notify that the setting changing display or setting checking display is being performed. Thus, without changing the hardware configuration of the first pattern display device 37, it is possible to inform the first pattern display device 37 of setting changing display or setting checking display only by software control.

Next, with reference to FIG. 52, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. FIG. 52 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIG. The pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment differs from the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment in that the setting key 501 and the error display button 502 are connected to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110; The difference is that the impact detection sensor 503 and the magnetic sensor 504 are connected to the input/output port 215 of the payout control device 111 . Further, the point that an error detection signal is output from the payout control device 111 to the main control device 110 is also different from the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment.

Setting key 501 outputs to main controller 110 a signal indicating whether it is in the off state or the on state. The main controller 110 grasps the state of the setting key 501 during the start-up process executed when the power is turned on, and outputs from the RAM erase switch circuit 253 provided with the RAM erase switch 122. By grasping the contents of the RAM erase signal SG2 and the signal output from the door opening switch, the start-up mode is determined based on the conditions shown in FIG.

Error display button 502 outputs to main controller 110 a signal indicating the presence or absence of a pressing operation. Based on the signal output from the error display button 502, main controller 110 determines whether or not the error display button 502 has been pressed, and causes the base display device 401 to display the error history while the error display button 502 is being pressed.

The impact detection sensor 503 is a sensor for detecting that the pachinko machine 10 has been impacted. The magnetic sensor 504 is a sensor for detecting that a magnet has been brought close to the pachinko machine 10 .

When the impact detection sensor 503 detects that an impact has been applied to the pachinko machine 10, the payout control device 111 detects that an impact has been applied to the pachinko machine 10 by a fraudulent player, and the flow direction of the balls has been changed illegally. In order to notify the main controller 110 of the occurrence of the error, as well as to instruct the launch control device 112 to stop launching the ball as a serious error. Outputs an error detection signal.

Further, when the magnetic sensor 504 detects that the magnet has been brought close to the pachinko machine 10, the payout control device 111 detects that the magnet has been brought close to the pachinko machine 10 by the fraudulent player, and the flow direction of the ball is illegally changed. and to instruct the launch control device 112 to stop firing the ball as a serious error, and to notify the main control device 110 of the occurrence of the error. error detection signal.

When the main controller 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout controller 111, it stops the progress of the game. Thereby, when there is a possibility that a serious error has occurred, the game in the pachinko machine 10 can be stopped. In addition, the main controller 110 stores the error type (impact detection error or magnet detection error) notified by the error detection signal received from the payout controller 111 as error data 203t (see FIG. 53) of the RAM 203 described later. ). When the error display button 502 is pressed, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 based on the error type stored in the error data 203t.

FIG. 53 is a schematic diagram schematically showing data stored in the outer work area 203y1 of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 of the main controller 110. As shown in FIG. The outer work area 203y1 stores at least base value data 203r, character product ratio data 203s, and error data 203t.

The base value data 203r is data necessary for calculating the base value and displaying the calculated base value on the base display device 401. For example, the total out number counter shown in FIG. 203j, low-probability payout number counter 203k, real-time base value data 203l, previous base value data 203m, pre-previous base value data 203n, pre-previous base value data 203o, new startup flag 203p, and the like.

The character product ratio data 203s is data necessary for calculating the character product ratio and displaying the calculated character product ratio on the base display device 401. For example, the first counter 263a shown in FIG. , first 2 counter 263b, general 1 counter 263c, general 2 counter 263d, big winning opening counter 263e, out counter 263f, role product ratio data 264a, continuous role product ratio data 264b, or similar data. .

The error data 203 t is data indicating the error type of the error that occurred in the pachinko machine 10 . When an error detection signal is received from the payout control device 111, the error type indicated by the error detection signal is stored as the error data 203t. When the error display button 502 is pressed, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 based on the error type stored in the error data 203t.

Here, when the error history displayed on the base display device 401 is only the error type that occurred most recently, only the latest error type is always stored in the error data 203t. Specifically, when the main controller 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout controller 111, it overwrites the error data 203t with the error type indicated by the error detection signal. As a result, the base display device 401 always stores only the latest error type, and the error history displayed on the base display device 401 displays only the error type that occurred most recently.

On the other hand, if the error history to be displayed on the base display device 401 is to display error types for a maximum of multiple times (for example, four times) going back from the error, including the error that occurred closest in time, , in the error data 203t, the times of occurrence are stored for a plurality of times in order from the time closest to the current time.

For example, in the error data 203t, the error data 203t stores the error types that occurred closest in time so that four error types are stored in order from the time of occurrence closest to the current time. First error type data to be stored, second error type data to store the error type that occurred second closest in time, and third error type to store the error type that occurred third closest in time data and fourth error type data storing the error type that occurred fourth closest in time. When the main control device 110 receives the error detection signal from the payout control device 111, it shifts the third error type data to the fourth error type data, shifts the second error type data to the third error type data, and shifts the second error type data to the third error type data. The first error type data is shifted to the second error type data, and the error type indicated by the received error detection signal is stored as the first error type data. As a result, the error data 203t stores four error types in order from the time of occurrence closest to the current time. , a maximum of a plurality of (for example, four) error types are displayed before the error. In this case, if the address of each error type data is assigned so that the shift processing of each error type data can be performed with one LDIR instruction, the shift processing can be performed with only one LDIR instruction. .

In addition, when the error history displayed on the base display device 401 is to display error types for a maximum of multiple times (for example, 4 times) going back from the error, including the error that occurred closest in time, Alternatively, the error data 203t may be composed of a FIFO (First In First Out) type ring buffer to store the error types for a plurality of times. In this case, when the main control device 110 receives an error detection signal from the payout control device 111, the address (ring buffer pointer) storing the error type may be updated.

Here, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode, at least the base value data 203r, the character product ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t are retained without being erased. do. As a result, even if the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, the base value data 203r, the character product ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t cannot be erased. can be done. Therefore, even if the fraudulent person turns on the RAM erase switch 122 to conceal the fraudulent act, it is possible to prevent the evidence from being concealed.

Also, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode and the probability setting value is changed, the data in the RAM 203 is erased, but the base value data 203r and the error data 203t are erased. keep it without As a result, even if the fraudulent person changes the probability set value in an attempt to conceal the fraudulent act, it is possible to prevent the evidence from being concealed. On the other hand, the character product ratio data 203s is erased during erasing of the data in the RAM 203 after the probability set value is changed. This is because when the probability setting value is changed, the role ratio also changes. This is because the product ratio cannot be calculated correctly. On the other hand, since the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed, the base value data 203r is held to hold the past base value and information necessary for calculating the base value. By doing so, it is possible to discover fraudulent acts performed in the past without concealing them.

In this way, in erasing the data in the RAM 203 after the probability setting value has been changed, part of the data related to the display on the base display device 401 is retained without being erased. By erasing the data, the data can be held or erased according to the actual situation of each data.

In addition, the outside work area 203y1 is divided into an area that is erased by erasing the data in the RAM 203 after the probability setting value is changed, and an area that is held without being erased. The base value data 203r and the error data 203t may be stored in an area that stores the data 203s for the base value and retains the data 203s without erasing. As a result, the data including the role product ratio data 203s stored in the area to be erased can be easily erased by erasing the data in the RAM 203 after the probability setting value is changed. The data including the base value data 203r and the error data 203t stored in the area to be held without fail can be reliably held by erasing the data from the RAM 203 after the probability setting value is changed. can.

Next, with reference to FIG. 54, startup processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 when the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 54 is a flow chart showing this startup process. This start-up process is started by a reset when the power is turned on.

In this start-up process, first, an initial value setting process is executed upon power-on (S4001). For example, access permission to the RAM 203 is set, and a predetermined value is set in the stack pointer.

Next, an internal function register setting process is executed (S4002). In this embodiment, the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 58) that performs the main control of the game is executed with the timer interrupt generated every 4 milliseconds (hereinafter referred to as "4 millisecond timer interrupt"). A base display control process (see FIG. 57) for controlling the display contents to be displayed on the display device 401 is executed with a timer interrupt occurring every 2 milliseconds (hereinafter referred to as "2 millisecond timer interrupt") as a trigger. In the process of S4002, for example, these 4 millisecond timer interrupts and 2 millisecond timer interrupts are permitted. In addition, when the random number value necessary for performing the jackpot lottery or the winning lottery is generated by a random number generation circuit (not shown) provided in the main controller 110, in the process of S4002, the range of the random number to be generated ( maximum value).

In particular, by enabling the 2 millisecond timer interrupt in this internal function register setting processing, a 2 millisecond timer interrupt occurs every 2 milliseconds and the base display control processing is executed. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401.例文帳に追加

It should be noted that, in the process of S4002, it is not always necessary to permit the 4-millisecond timer interrupt or set the range (maximum value) of the random number. In the processing of S4002, if the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is not permitted and/or the range (maximum value) of the random value is not set, other start-up processes to be described later that are executed when the start-up process transitions to the main process are executed. In the raising process (S4013), the permission of the 4 millisecond timer interrupt and/or the setting of the range (maximum value) of the random value, which were not performed in the process of S4002, may be performed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4003). If it is turned on (S4003: Yes), it is determined whether the setting key 501 is on and the door opening switch is on. is determined (S4004). If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S4004 (S4004: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is on, the setting key 501 is on, and the door opening switch is on. The startup mode is set to the setting change mode, and setting change processing is executed (S4005).

Details of the setting change processing (S4005) will now be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 55 is a flow chart showing the setting change process (S4005). The setting change process (S4005) is a process that is executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, and is a process for receiving and confirming the change of the probability setting value from the hall staff or the like.

In this setting change process (S4005), first, the start of displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4101). By this setting for starting the display of the probability set value, the display of the probability set value is started on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) which is executed every 2 milliseconds. The display mode at this time is one of FIGS. 49(a), (b), (c-1), (d-1), and (e-1).

Note that the probability setting value displayed here may be fixed to a specific value. That is, when the startup mode changes to the setting change mode, the display on the base display device 401 may always start with a specific probability set value. The specific probability setting value may be, for example, "1" which is the minimum value of the probability setting values ("1" to "6"), or "3" or " It may be "4" or "6", which is the maximum value of the probability set values. As a result, regardless of the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off, the hall staff can change the probability setting value from a specific probability setting value.

On the other hand, when the startup mode becomes the setting change mode, the base display device 401 may start displaying the probability setting values that were set before the power was turned off. Accordingly, the hall staff can change the probability setting value while considering the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off.

Further, when the startup mode becomes the setting change mode, if the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off is 3 or higher, the probability setting value is displayed as "3" on the base display device 401. is started, and if the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off is less than 3, even if the display is started with the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off. good. For example, if the probability setting value that was set before the power was turned off is high, such as "5" or "6," there may often be a case where the probability setting value is desired to be slightly smaller (for example, by 1). In such a case, if the probability setting value is started to be displayed as it is before the power is turned off, the following problem will occur. That is, the probability setting value is updated by adding 1 each time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. This is done by resetting to 1. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to change the probability setting value from "6" to "5", the probability setting value must be set almost once while repeatedly turning on the RAM erase switch 122. FIG. On the other hand, if the probability setting value set before the power is turned off is high, the probability setting value can be set while suppressing the number of times the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on by starting to display the probability setting value with "3". Values can be updated.

Next, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value is within the range of "1" to "6" (S4102). : No), the probability set value is changed to the initial value (S4103), and the process proceeds to S4104. The initial value may be "1", which is the minimum value of the probability setting values ("1" to "6"), or "3" or "4", which is the intermediate value of the probability setting values. or "6", which is the maximum probability setting value. On the other hand, as a result of the process of S4102, when it is determined that the probability setting value is within the range of "1" to "6" (S4102: Yes), the process of S4103 is skipped and the process proceeds to S4104. .

In the processing of S4104, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off (S4104). In the process of S4104, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has transitioned from the ON state to the OFF state (edge is detected), it is determined that the setting key 501 has turned OFF. This is because, as will be described later, when the pachinko machine 10 is started without the RAM erase switch 122 being turned on, the probability setting value is broken and falls within the normal range (range of "1" to "6"). If not, this setting change process is executed, but the setting key 501 is normally in the OFF state at this time. If it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off by detecting that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the off state, the probability setting value is broken and falls within the normal range (“1”). to "6"), even if this setting change process is executed, if the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the process of S4104 will immediately give an affirmative determination, and as will be described later, the probability setting is performed. The value is fixed and the setting change process ends. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall or the like cannot change the probability set value. On the other hand, in the processing of S4104, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state, if it is determined that the setting key 501 has changed to the OFF state, the hall If the person concerned does not turn the setting key 501 from the off state to the on state once and then back to the off state, the affirmative determination is not made in the processing of S4104. change is possible.

It should be noted that when the pachinko machine 10 is started without the RAM erase switch 122 being turned on, even if the probability setting value is broken and is not within the normal range (range of "1" to "6"), the setting When the change process is not executed (for example, this corresponds to a case where a person involved in the hall is prompted to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode), the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the OFF state. It may be determined that the setting key 501 is turned off by detecting that the setting key 501 is in the OFF state.

If it is determined that the setting key 501 is not turned off as a result of the process of S4104 (S4104: No), then it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4105). As a result, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S4105: No), the process returns to S4102, and if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4105: Yes), the probability set value is updated (S4106), and the process returns to S4102. In the process of S4106, the probability setting value is updated, as described above, if the probability setting value up to that point is "1" to "5", the probability setting value is incremented by 1, and the probability setting value up to that point is updated. If the value is "6", this is done by resetting the probability setting to "1". The probability set value updated by the process of S4106 is displayed on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds.

The loop processing of S4102→S4103→S4104: No→S4105 (and S4106)→S4102 continues to be executed until it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on (S4104: Yes). Then, when it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on by the process of S4104 (S4104: Yes), the probability setting value displayed on the base display device 401 is changed to the probability setting value to be used in the game from now on. (S4107). Then, the end of the display of the probability set values on the base display device 401 is set (S4108), and the setting change process is finished. By the process of S4108, the display of the probability set value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability set value, Display of the base value is started on the base display device 401 .

Returning to FIG. 54, the description of the startup process is continued. After the setting change process of S4005 is finished, the setting change RAM clear process is executed (S4006). In this setting change RAM clearing process, out of the data stored in the RAM 203, the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value stored in the inner work area 203x1) and the character ratio data 203s are erased (cleared), while the base value data 203r and the error data 203t are held without being erased. By erasing the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set values stored in the internal work area 203x1), a new game is started using the newly set probability set values. can be done.

Also, as described above, when the probability setting value is changed, the character ratio also changes. The character ratio based on cannot be calculated correctly. By deleting the character product ratio data 203s in the setting change RAM clearing process, the character product ratio based on the changed probability setting value can be correctly calculated.

On the other hand, the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed. By holding the necessary information, it is possible to discover fraudulent acts performed in the past without concealing them. In addition, in the setting change RAM clearing process, the error data 203t is also held, so that even if the fraudulent person who caused the error starts up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, the error history can be saved. It cannot be erased, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent concealment.

After the process of S4006, other start-up processes are executed (S4013), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in the process of S4004 (S4004: No), the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is off or the door opening switch is off. When the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is off, as shown in FIG. 47, the startup mode is set to the RAM clear mode, and normal RAM clear processing is executed (S4007). Even if the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is on, if the door opening switch is off (that is, if the inner frame 12 is closed), the startup mode is set. Normal RAM clear processing is executed in the RAM clear mode instead of the change mode (S4007). As a result, even though the inner frame 12 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the pachinko machine 10 is turned on to start up in the setting change mode, and the pachinko machine 10 is prevented from starting a game. can.

In the normal RAM clearing process (S4007), among the data stored in the RAM 203, data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value stored in the inner work area 203x1) is erased (cleared). , the base value data 203r, the character product ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t are retained without being erased. A new game can be started by erasing the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value stored in the inner work area 203x1).

On the other hand, by keeping the base value data 203r, the character product ratio data 203s, and the error data 203t without erasing them, the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on to erase the data in the RAM 203. can be displayed on the base display device 401 . Therefore, even if the fraudulent person turns on the RAM erase switch 122 to conceal the fraudulent activity, the fraudulent activity can be discovered from the base value, the character ratio, the error history, etc. displayed on the base display device 401. .

After the process of S4007, other start-up processes are executed (S4013), and the process shifts to the main process.

If it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is off as a result of the process of S4003 (S4003: No), then it is determined whether or not power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S4008). If not (S4008: No), there is a possibility that the process at the time of the previous power shutdown did not end normally. .

If the RAM 203 stores power failure occurrence information (S4008: Yes), the RAM determination value is calculated, and whether or not the calculated RAM determination value is normal, that is, the calculated RAM determination value is saved at the time of power failure. It is determined whether or not it matches the RAM determination value (S4009). The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the work area address of RAM 203 . In this embodiment, the probability setting values stored in the RAM 203 are also used to calculate the checksum value.

If the calculated RAM determination value is not normal (S4009: No), that is, if the calculated RAM determination value does not match the RAM determination value saved when the power was turned off, the backed up data in the RAM 203 is destroyed. In this case, first, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is within the normal range (range of "1" to "6") (S4010). Then, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4010: Yes), the process proceeds to S4007 to execute normal RAM clear processing. Needless to say, the probability setting value continues to be held without being erased in the normal RAM clearing process or the setting change RAM clearing process.

On the other hand, if the probability setting value is not within the normal range, for example, "7" (S4010: No), the process proceeds to S4005, the setting change process shown in FIG. Re-set the probability setting value to the concerned parties. At this time, the third symbol display device 81 may display a prompt to change the probability set value, or the voice output device 226 may output a notification sound or voice to notify that effect. Alternatively, an external terminal (not shown) provided in main controller 110 may notify hall computer 600 that the set probability value is not within the normal range. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the persons involved in the hall or the like that the probability setting value needs to be reset.

If the calculated RAM determination value is normal as a result of the process of S4009 (S4009: Yes), then it is determined whether the setting key 501 is on and the door opening switch is on (S4011). If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S4011 (S4011: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is off, the setting key 501 is on, and the door opening switch is on. The startup mode is set to the setting confirmation mode, and setting confirmation processing is executed (S4012).

Details of the setting confirmation process (S4012) will now be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 56 is a flow chart showing the setting confirmation process (S4012). The setting confirmation process (S4012) is a process executed when the startup mode is the setting confirmation mode, and is a process for displaying the probability setting value on the base display device 401. FIG.

In this setting confirmation process (S4012), first, the display start of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4201). By this setting for starting the display of the probability set value, the display of the probability set value is started on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) which is executed every 2 milliseconds. The display mode at this time is one of FIGS. 49(a), (b), (c-2), (d-2), and (e-2).

Next, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off (S4202). In the process of S4202, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state, it is determined that the setting key 501 has changed to the OFF state. Note that it may be determined that the setting key 501 is turned off by detecting that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 is in the off state.

As a result of the processing of S4202, if the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4202: No), S4202 is repeatedly executed and the setting key 501 is waited until it is in the off state. During this time, the probability set value is continuously displayed on the base display device 401 . Then, when the setting key 501 is turned off (S4202: Yes), the end of the display of the probability setting values on the base display device 401 is set (S4203), and the setting confirmation process is finished. By the process of S4203, the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control process (see FIG. 57) which is executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability setting value, Display of the base value is started on the base display device 401 .

This setting confirmation process (S4012) is executed after it is determined whether or not the RAM determination value (checksum) is normal. This is based on the idea that when the RAM judgment value is abnormal, the RAM clearing process should be executed before checking the probability setting value. However, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting confirmation mode, the setting confirmation process may be executed before it is determined whether or not the RAM determination value (checksum) is normal. .

Returning to FIG. 54, the description of the startup process is continued. When the setting confirmation process of S4012 ends, other start-up processes are executed (S4013), and the process shifts to the main process.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S4011 (S4011: No), the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is off or the door opening switch is off. When the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is off, as shown in FIG. 47, the startup mode is set to the normal mode, the setting confirmation process of S4012 is skipped, and the other startup of S4013 is performed. After executing the raising process, it shifts to the main process. Even if the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is on, if the door opening switch is off (that is, if the inner frame 12 is closed), the startup mode is set. The normal mode is set instead of the confirmation mode, the setting confirmation process of S4012 is skipped, and other start-up processes of S4013 are executed, and then the process proceeds to the main process. As a result, even though the inner frame 12 is closed with the setting key 501 turned on, the pachinko machine 10 is turned on to start up in the setting confirmation mode and the pachinko machine 10 is prevented from starting a game. can.

Next, with reference to FIG. 57, base display control processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. As described above, this base display control process is a process for controlling the display contents displayed on the base display device 401, and is executed with a 2 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 2 milliseconds.

In the base display control process, first, various setting processes for performing display control of the base display device 401 are executed by the base display device control circuit 402 (S4301). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value is being changed in the setting change mode (S4302). If it is determined that the setting is being changed (S4302: Yes), the probability setting value being changed is The included segment data for setting change is set as segment data (S4303), the segment data is output to the base display device control circuit 402 (S4309), and this base display control processing ends. As a result, the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 in any one of the display modes shown in FIGS. be.

As a result of the process of S4302, if it is determined that the setting is not being changed (S4302: No), then it is determined whether or not the setting confirmation of the probability setting value is being performed in the setting confirmation mode (S4304). As a result, if it is determined that the setting is being confirmed (S4304: Yes), the setting confirmation segment data including the probability setting value of the setting confirmation is set as the segment data (S4305), and the segment data is used by the base display device control circuit. 402 (S4309), and the present base display control processing ends. As a result, on the base display device 401, the set probability value is displayed in one of the display modes shown in FIGS. be.

As a result of the process of S4304, if it is determined that the settings are not being checked (S4304: No), then it is determined whether or not the error history is being displayed based on the error display button 502 being pressed ( S4306). As a result, if it is determined that the error history is being displayed (S4306: Yes), the error history segment data including the error type is set as segment data (S4307), and the segment data is output to the base display device control circuit 402. (S4309), and the present base display control processing ends. As a result, the error history is displayed on the base display device 401 in one of the display modes shown in FIGS.

As a result of the processing of S4306, if it is determined that the error history is not being displayed (S4306: No), the segment data for normal game including the base value or the ratio of the character is set as the segment data (S4308), and the segment data is displayed as the base. The data is output to the device control circuit 402 (S4309), and the base display control processing ends. As a result, the base display device 401 normally displays the base value or the character product ratio.

Next, with reference to FIG. 58, timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. FIG. 58 is a flow chart showing the timer interrupt processing. As described above, this timer interrupt process is a process for performing main control of the game, and is triggered by a 4 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 4 milliseconds.

In this timer interrupt process, first, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range ("1" to "6") (S4401). By judging whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range each time the timer interrupt processing is executed, even if the probability setting value is destroyed for some reason, it can be found early. can do.

As a result of the processing of S4401, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4401: Yes), the normal game processing for performing the main control of the game is executed (S4402), then the calculation of the role ratio and the base Role ratio processing (base processing) for managing information on the role product ratio and base value, such as calculation of values, is executed (S4403), and the timer interrupt processing ends.

In the game process (S4402), for example, processes such as S101 to S111 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 10) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 described in the first embodiment are executed. That is, the main control of the game includes a lottery for big wins, setting of variable display, opening and closing control of the big winning opening (large opening) 65a at the time of big winning, winning lottery for the second symbol display device 83, and the like. . It should be noted that the MPU 201 uses the in-use area 203x (the inner work area 203x1 and the inner stack area 203x2) in the RAM 203 while executing the process of S4402. On the other hand, the MPU 201 uses the outside working area 203y (outside work area 203y1 and outside stack area 203y2) in the RAM 203 while executing the process of S4403.

At this time, in the processing of S4403, as described in the third embodiment, from the game processing that performs the main control of the game that uses the inside area 203x of the area of use, the ratio of the character and the base that uses the area outside the area of use 203y When shifting to the processing related to the value, among the registers 200 provided in the MPU 201, the register 200 used in the processing related to the role ratio is individually saved to the external work area 203y1 of the RAM 203, and the role ratio processing and After executing the processing related to the base processing, when shifting (returning) from the processing related to the character product ratio using the area 203y outside the use area to the game processing for performing the main control of the game using the area 203x inside the use area (return), the outside The registers 200 saved to the work area 203y1 may be individually restored.

In addition, as described in the fourth embodiment, during the execution of the process using the inside area 203x of the use area, the process of executing the process related to the character product ratio or the base value using the area outside the use area 203y can be performed by the CALL instruction. In the reading stage, the register 200 used in the process related to the role product ratio or base value may be individually cleared to 0, and the process of executing the process related to the role product ratio or base value may be read out with a CALL instruction. . Then, at the stage of ending the processing using the area 203y outside the use area read out by the CALL instruction and returning to the process using the inside area 203x of the use area, the register 200 used in the process relating to the character product ratio is individually read out. After clearing to 0 immediately, it may return to role ratio processing (base processing).

On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S4401, if the probability setting value is not within the predetermined range (S4401: No), the processing of the game processing (S4402) is not performed, and the notification command is set (S4404), and the notification command is issued. Send to the audio ramp controller 113 . The sound lamp control device 113 receives this notification command and outputs, from the sound output device 226, a notification sound or voice prompting the pachinko hall personnel to restart the pachinko machine 10 and change the probability set value. Or, it outputs to the display control device 114 a command for causing the third pattern display device 81 to display a prompt to call a hall official. Alternatively, an external terminal (not shown) provided in main controller 110 may notify hall computer 600 that the set probability value is not within the normal range. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode, and a process of changing the probability set value is performed.

Further, following the processing of S4404, a ball launch stop instruction is given to the payout control device 111 (S4405). This stops the launch of the ball. After the processing of S4405, the timer interrupt processing ends. While the probability setting value is not within the normal range (S4401: No), even if the timer interrupt processing is executed every 4 milliseconds, the game processing (S4402) is not executed. completely stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by continuing to play the game with the abnormal set probability value.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or turned on, the startup regardless of the probability setting value A mode can be selected and a launch mode related to the probability set point. When the start-up mode that is not related to the set probability value is selected, it is possible to select whether the start-up mode is the RAM clear mode or the normal mode depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. When the start-up mode related to the probability setting value is selected, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode can be selected depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. As a result, if the people involved in the hall understand the meaning of each start-up mode, they can easily understand what kind of operation is necessary for the pachinko machine 10 required for the start-up mode to be started from now on. .

In addition, the effects described above can be obtained by the configuration mentioned in the description of the sixth embodiment. In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fifth embodiments can produce the same effect as that of the configuration.

<Seventh embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 of a seventh embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, it is detected that the probability setting value is updated by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 is turned off. A case has been described in which the probability setting value is determined when the On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the setting change switch (not shown) is turned on to update the probability setting value. , the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on to determine the set probability.

Here, the setting change switch is a switch for updating the probability setting value by being operated during the setting change mode. The board box 100 is protruded and can be operated by hall personnel or the like without opening the board box 100 . The setting change switch normally outputs an off signal, and outputs an on signal when the switch is pressed all the way down.

The pachinko machine 10 of the seventh embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the seventh embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to sixth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to sixth embodiments. Description is omitted.

FIG. 59 is a flow chart showing the setting change process (S4005) executed during the startup process (see FIG. 54) by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 according to the seventh embodiment. The setting change process (S4005) is a process executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, as in the sixth embodiment, and accepts and confirms the change of the probability setting value from the hall officials. This process is for

In the setting change process according to the seventh embodiment, first, the processes of S4101 to S4103 similar to those of the sixth embodiment are executed, and then it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4111). As a result, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on (S4111: No), then it is determined whether or not the setting change switch is turned on (S4112).

As a result, if it is determined that the setting change switch is not turned on (S4112: No), the process returns to S4102, and if it is determined that the setting change switch is turned on (S4112: Yes), By the same method as S4106 (see FIG. 55), the probability set value is updated (S4106), and the process returns to S4102. The probability set value updated by the process of S4106 is displayed on the base display device 401 under the control of the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds.

The loop processing of S4102->S4103->S4111: No->S4112 (and S4106)->S4102 continues to be executed until it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on (S4111: Yes). Then, when it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on by the process of S4111 (S4111: Yes), the probability set value displayed on the base display device 401 is set as the probability set value to be used in the game from now on. (S4107). When the probability set value is determined, the data in the RAM 203 is erased (cleared) as described in the sixth embodiment. Therefore, by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 and determining the probability set value, the hall staff can be made to strongly recognize that the data in the RAM 203 will be erased.

After the processing of S4107, it is then determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned on (S4113). In the process of S4113, if it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state, it may be determined that the setting key 501 has changed to the OFF state. It may be determined that the setting key 501 is turned off by detecting that the level of the signal output from is in the off state.

As long as it is determined that the setting key 501 is not turned off as a result of the process of S4113 (S4113: No), the process of S4113 is repeatedly executed. When it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off as a result of the process of S4113 (S4113: Yes), the end of the display of the probability setting value on the base display device 401 is set (S4108), and the setting change process is performed. exit. By the process of S4108, the display of the probability set value on the base display device 401 is ended by the control by the base display control process (see FIG. 57) executed every 2 milliseconds by the end setting of the display of the probability set value, Display of the base value is started on the base display device 401 .

As described above, the configuration referred to in the description of the seventh embodiment provides the effects described above. Further, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to sixth embodiments can produce the same effects as those obtained by the configuration.

<Eighth embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to an eighth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 60 to 66. FIG. In the sixth and seventh embodiments, the probability setting value can be updated by starting the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, and the probability setting value can be confirmed by starting in the setting confirmation mode. explained. Also, regarding the case where the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is determined from among the normal mode, RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode according to the operation state of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 when the power is turned on. explained.

Here, if the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like during the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the problem is what mode should be used when the power is turned on again. The pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment solves this problem. Further, in the eighth embodiment, the abnormality of the RAM 203 (hereinafter referred to as "RAM abnormality"), the fact that the setting change process has been performed, and the fact that the setting confirmation process has been performed are output via the external output terminal 503. Output to computer 600 . Through the hall computer 600, the persons involved in the hall can grasp the fact that the RAM abnormality occurred in the pachinko machine 10, the setting change processing or the setting confirmation was performed.

The pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machines 10 of the sixth and eighth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to seventh embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to seventh embodiments. Description is omitted.

FIG. 60 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 of the eighth embodiment differs from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment in that an external output terminal 503 is connected to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110 . The external output terminal 503 is configured to be connectable with the hall computer 600 . The external output terminal 503 is provided so as to protrude from the main board through a hole provided in the board box 100. By connecting a wiring connector (not shown) connected to the hall computer 600 to the external output terminal 503, Signals and data output from main controller 110 to hall computer 600 are relayed to hall computer 600 .

FIG. 61 is a schematic diagram schematically showing data stored in the internal work area 203x1 of the RAM 203 in the MPU 201 of the main controller 110. As shown in FIG. In this work area 203x1, probability set value data 203x11, change probability set value data 203c12, setting changing flag 203x13, setting confirming flag 203x14, RAM error flag 203x15, and RAM erase switch flag 203x16 are stored. At least stored.

The probability setting value data 203x11 is data indicating the probability setting value set (determined) in the pachinko machine 10. FIG. In this embodiment, similarly to the sixth and seventh embodiments, it is possible to set the probability setting values "1" to "6", and each probability setting value ("1" to "6") , the jackpot random number value and/or the winning random number value of the second symbol are stored in the ROM 202 in advance. The jackpot random number value and/or the number of second symbol winning random number values determined for each probability setting value determines the jackpot probability and/or the second symbol winning probability for that probability setting value. In the pachinko machine 10, the smaller the probability setting value (closer to 1), the lower the probability of the big win and/or the probability of winning the second symbol. Alternatively, the jackpot random number value and/or the second symbol winning random number value are determined for each probability setting value so that the probability of winning the second symbol is high.

In the setting change process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode, the probability setting value determined by the hall officials or the like is set to the probability setting value data 203x11. stored in The pachinko machine 10 sets a jackpot random number value and/or a second pattern winning random number value corresponding to the probability setting value indicated by the probability setting value data 203x11 based on the ROM 202, and a jackpot lottery or a winning lottery for the second pattern. to run.

The jackpot random number value and/or the second symbol win random number value is fixed, and the range and/or the random number generated for the jackpot lottery is set for each probability setting value ("1" to "6"). Alternatively, the range of random numbers generated for performing the winning lottery for the second symbol may be stored in the RAM 203 in advance. The jackpot random number range and/or the second symbol winning random number range determined for each probability setting value determines the jackpot probability and/or the second symbol winning probability at the probability setting value. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 has a range of random numbers generated to perform a jackpot lottery corresponding to the probability set value indicated by the probability set value data 203x11 and/or A range is set to generate random numbers for performing a big winning lottery and/or random numbers for performing a winning lottery for a second symbol.

The update probability setting value data 203x12 is the probability of being updated by a hall official or the like before the probability setting value is determined in the setting change process executed when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode. This is data indicating a set value. That is, the probability set value data 203x11 described above is data indicating the determined probability set value, while the update probability set value data 203x12 is updated by a person involved in the hall before determination in the setting change process. data indicating the probability setting value to be set.

Specifically, when execution of the setting change process is started, the probability setting value data 203x11 is first saved as the updating probability setting value data 203x12. That is, the probability setting values up to now are set in the update probability setting value data 203x12, and the probability setting values are updated by the persons involved in the hall, etc., starting from the probability setting values up to now. Each time the RAM erase switch 122, which also serves as a switch for updating the probability setting value, is turned on, the probability setting value data for updating 203x12 is incremented by 1, and the probability setting value data for updating 203x12 is "6". When the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on at this time, the update probability setting value data 203x12 is updated to "1". When the setting key 501 is turned off, the update probability setting value data 203x12 is stored as the probability setting value data 203x11, and the probability setting value updated by the hall personnel or the like is used in the game from now on. It is fixed as a probability setting value.

Here, in the setting change process, the probability setting value is updated using the update probability setting value data 203x12 instead of using the probability setting value data 203x11 for the following reasons. . That is, if the probability setting value is updated using the probability setting value data 203x11, if the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure or the like during the setting change process, the probability setting value that has been used in the game is erased by the update. It will be done. Therefore, even if you want to turn on the power again, start up the pachinko machine 10, and change the probability setting value from scratch, you cannot do so because the probability setting value used in the game up to that point is gone. Gone. In this case, the setting change process can be resumed from the probability setting value saved in the probability setting value data 203x11 before the power was turned off, that is, the probability setting value in the middle of the setting change. There is a risk of giving hall officials the illusion of

Also, depending on the relationship between the timing at which the hall personnel turn on the RAM erase switch 122 and the timing at which the power is turned off, an event may occur in which the probability set value data 203x11 is not updated even though the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. obtain. In this case, there is a possibility that the pachinko players may feel distrust because the set probability value thought to be updated by the pachinko machine 10 is different from the set probability value saved by the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the probability setting value is updated in the setting change process, the probability setting value is updated using the update probability setting value data 203x12. 203x11 can retain the previously used probability settings. As a result, even if the power is turned off during the setting change process, the probability setting value used in the previous game remaining as the probability setting value data 203x11 will be updated in the setting change process to be executed again. By storing the probability setting value data 203x12, it is possible to update the probability setting value again from the beginning. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall or the like can renew the probability setting data without anxiety.

The setting changing flag 203x13 is a flag indicating whether or not the setting changing process is being executed. The setting changing flag 203x13 indicates that the setting changing process is being executed when it is on, and indicates that the setting changing process is not being executed when it is off. The setting changing flag 203x13 is normally set to off. Then, when the execution of the setting change process is started, the setting changing flag 203x13 is set to ON. The setting changing flag 203x13 is turned off when the probability setting value updated in the setting change process is finalized and the execution of the setting change process ends.

Now, if the setting change flag 203x13 is ON in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main control unit 110 when the power is turned on, the setting change process is being executed when the power is turned off last time. That is, the power was turned off while the probability setting value was being updated by the setting change process. Therefore, in this case, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is partially changed.

Here, referring to FIG. 62, the start-up mode when the power is turned on after being turned off during setting change will be described. FIG. 62 is a diagram for explaining the start-up mode set corresponding to each start-up operation when the power is turned on after being turned off during setting change or setting confirmation.

As shown in FIG. 62, after the power is turned off during setting change, the startup operation for starting up in the normal mode, that is, the power is turned on while the setting key 501 is turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off. When the startup operation is performed, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in a setting change mode in which setting change processing is redone from the beginning (from the beginning) instead of being started in a normal mode.

After the power was turned off during setting change, a start-up operation was performed to start up in the RAM clear mode, that is, turn on the RAM erase switch 122 with the setting key 501 turned off to turn on the power. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in a setting change mode in which the setting change process is restarted from the beginning (from the beginning) instead of being started in the RAM clear mode.

After the power is turned off during setting change, a start-up operation for starting up in the setting change mode, that is, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erase switch 122 to turn on the power is performed. If so, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode according to the startup operation. Also in this case, the setting change process is executed again from the beginning (from the beginning).

After the power is turned off during setting change, the startup operation for starting up in the setting confirmation mode, that is, the startup operation of turning on the power while the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off is performed. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in a setting change mode in which the setting change process is redone from the beginning (from the beginning) instead of being started in the setting confirmation mode.

In this way, the startup mode when the power is turned on after being turned off during a setting change is not only the startup operation for startup in the setting change mode, but also other startup operations. Even if it is a raise operation, it enters a setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed again from the beginning. As a result, when the power is turned off during the setting change, when the power is turned on after that, it is possible to make the hall personnel change the probability setting value from scratch without fail. Therefore, it is possible to have the person involved in the hall or the like surely change the probability set value, and to confirm the change. Therefore, even if the power is turned off while the settings are being changed, the pachinko machine can reliably update and confirm the probability setting values when the power is turned on again. A change in the probability setting to 10 can be made.

In addition, by restarting the setting change process from the beginning (from the beginning), instead of continuing from the probability setting value being updated at the time when the power was turned off during the setting change, the update of the probability setting value is restarted. It is possible to update the probability setting value again from the beginning using the probability setting value (probability setting value data 203x11) used in the game so far. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall or the like can renew the probability setting data without anxiety.

Returning to FIG. 61, the description is continued. The setting confirmation flag 203x14 is a flag indicating whether or not the setting confirmation process is being executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting confirmation mode as the startup mode. be. The setting confirmation flag 203x14 indicates that the setting confirmation process is being performed when it is on, and indicates that the setting confirmation process is not being performed when it is off. The setting confirmation flag 203x14 is normally set to OFF. When the setting confirmation process starts, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is turned on, and when the setting confirmation process ends, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is turned off.

Now, if the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the power is turned on, the setting confirmation process is being executed when the power is turned off last time. That is, the power was turned off during confirmation of the probability set value by the setting confirmation process. Therefore, in this case, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is partially changed.

Here, referring to FIG. 62 again, the start-up mode when the power is turned on after being turned off during setting confirmation will be described. As shown in FIG. 62, after the power is turned off while checking the settings, the power is turned on while the setting key 501 is turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off. When the start-up operation is performed, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in a setting confirmation mode in which setting confirmation processing is redone from the beginning (from the beginning) instead of being started in a normal mode. As a result, even if a person involved in the hall or the like starts up the apparatus by operating in the normal mode after the power is turned off during setting confirmation, the probability setting value can be confirmed. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 can be started up without anxiety because the persons concerned with the hall can confirm that the probability set value is not destroyed by the power cutoff during the confirmation of the setting.

After the power was turned off during setting confirmation, a start-up operation was performed to start up in the RAM clear mode, that is, turn on the RAM erase switch 122 with the setting key 501 turned off to turn on the power. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the RAM clear mode according to the start-up operation of the person involved in the hall. Turning on the RAM erase switch 122 indicates at least a clear intention of the persons involved in the hall to clear the RAM. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode, it is possible to perform the start-up processing according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

After the power is turned off during setting confirmation, a start-up operation for starting up in the setting change mode, that is, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erase switch 122 to turn on the power. Even if it does, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode as in the start-up operation. In this case as well, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erase switch 122 clearly indicates that the person involved in the hall wants to change the probability set value. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

After the power is turned off during setting change, the startup operation for starting up in the setting confirmation mode, that is, the startup operation of turning on the power while the setting key 501 is turned on and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off is performed. Even if it does, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting confirmation mode as in the start-up operation. In this case as well, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erase switch 122 clearly indicates that the person involved in the hall wants to check the probability setting value again. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting confirmation mode in which the setting confirmation process is executed again from the beginning (from the beginning), the startup process can be performed in accordance with the will of the persons involved in the hall.

Returning to FIG. 61, the description is continued. The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is a flag for indicating that there is an abnormality in the RAM 203, such as the data stored in the RAM 203 being destroyed. The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 indicates that there is an abnormality in the RAM 203 when it is on, and indicates that there is no abnormality in the RAM 203 when it is off.

The RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is normally set to off. Then, in the start-up process executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the power is turned on, the RAM 203 checks whether the power interruption occurrence information that should be saved at the time of the previous power interruption is stored in the RAM 203 or not. If the judgment value (checksum) is not normal or the probability setting value is not within the normal range ("1" to "6"), the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is set to ON assuming that the RAM 203 is abnormal.

When the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on, the RAM abnormality is notified to prompt restarting in the setting change mode, and the hall computer 600 is notified to that effect via the external output terminal 503. The MPU 201 of the control device 110 is put into an infinite loop state. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode by the persons concerned with the hall, etc., and the probability setting value is surely reset, and the RAM 203 is cleared, so that the pachinko machine 10 can operate normally. can be directed to

The RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is a flag indicating the previous state of the RAM erase switch 122 in the MPU 201 of the main controller 110. FIG. In this embodiment, the RAM erase switch 122 is used to determine the start-up mode when the pachinko machine 10 is started, and when the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability set value is set. Also used for updating. That is, the probability set value is updated each time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on.

At this time, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 changes from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on, and the probability set value is updated. The RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is used to determine whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 has changed from off to on. That is, when the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 indicating the previous state of the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the RAM erase switch 122 is on, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on. After making that determination, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 at that time is stored in the RAM erase switch flag 203x16.

Here, after the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the RAM erasure switch flag 203x16 is set to " set to "on". This is because, at the stage where it is first determined whether the state of the RAM erase switch 122 has changed from the off state to the on state, the RAM erase switch is still operated as a start-up operation for starting the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode. 122 may remain turned on, if the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off at this time, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. There is a risk of erroneously determining that the RAM erase switch 122 for updating the probability setting value has been turned on, and updating the probability setting value. As a result, the people involved in the hall feel distrustful of the fact that the probability set values have been updated even though the RAM erase switch 122 has not been turned on to update the probability set values.

On the other hand, after the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode, before judging whether the state of the RAM erasure switch 122 has changed from the off state to the on state, the RAM erasure switch flag 203x16 is once set to " By setting "on", even if the RAM erase switch 122 is still turned on as a start-up operation for starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode at the time of this first judgment, it is set as probability setting. It is possible to suppress updating of the probability set value by erroneously judging that the RAM erase switch 122 for updating the value has been turned on.

Next, with reference to FIG. 63, startup processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 when the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 63 is a flow chart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started by a reset when the power is turned on.

In this start-up process, first, an initial value setting process is executed upon power-on (S4201). For example, access permission to the RAM 203 is set, and a predetermined value is set in the stack pointer.

Next, an internal function register setting process is executed (S4202). In this embodiment, as in the sixth and seventh embodiments, a 2 millisecond timer interrupt that generates the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) for controlling the display contents to be displayed on the base display device 401 every 2 milliseconds. Execute as an opportunity. In the process of S4202, for example, the 2 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. Further, in the case where the random number generation circuit (not shown) provided in the main controller 110 is used to generate the random number values necessary for performing the jackpot lottery or the winning lottery, the range of the random number to be generated ( maximum value). Also, access to the RAM 203 is permitted in the processing of S4202. In addition, in the processing of S4202, the main controller 110 performs various settings for transmitting and receiving signals by serial communication with the payout controller 111 and the sound lamp controller 113.

In particular, by enabling the 2 millisecond timer interrupt in this internal function register setting processing, a 2 millisecond timer interrupt occurs every 2 milliseconds and the base display control processing is executed. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401.例文帳に追加

Note that it is not always necessary to set the range (maximum value) of random numbers in the process of S4202. If the random value range (maximum value) is not set in the processing of S4202, during the other start-up processing (S4221), which will be described later and will be executed when the start-up processing shifts to the main processing, The random number range (maximum value) may be set, which was not performed in the processing of S4202.

Next, it is determined whether or not the power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S4203). As a result, if information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored (S4203: Yes), it means that the process at the time of the previous power interruption was completed normally. It is determined whether or not the calculated RAM determination value is normal, that is, whether or not the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value saved when the power was turned off (S4204). The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the work area address of RAM 203 . In this embodiment, the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is excluded from the calculation of the checksum value, but the probability setting value may be included in the calculation of the checksum value.

As a result of the process of S4204, if it is determined that the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value saved when the power was turned off (S4204: Yes), the RAM determination value is normal, and at least the RAM determination value is used for calculating the RAM determination value. Since it can be determined that the received data (information) is normally held, it is then determined whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range ("1" to "6") (S4205). Here, the reason for judging whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range is that when the power was turned off last time, although the processing related to the power interruption was performed normally, the probability setting value This is because there is a possibility that it is broken and out of the normal range. The process of S4205 is performed in order to reliably detect such an abnormality in the set probability value.

Then, if the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4205: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the setting changing flag 203x13 is ON (S4206). If the setting changing flag 203x13 is on (S4206: Yes), it means that the setting change process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, that is, the power supply was turned on while the probability setting value was being updated by the setting change process. is broken. Therefore, in this case, the process proceeds to S4213, and the setting change process is executed (S4213).

As a result, the startup mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while changing the settings is not only the startup operation for starting up in the setting change mode, but also other startup modes. Even if it is an operation, it is possible to enter a setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed again from the beginning. Therefore, when the power is turned off during the setting change, when the power is turned on after that, it is possible to make the hall personnel change the probability setting value from scratch without fail. Therefore, it is possible to have the person involved in the hall or the like surely change the probability set value, and to confirm the change. Therefore, even if the power is turned off while the settings are being changed, the pachinko machine can reliably update and confirm the probability setting values when the power is turned on again. A change in the probability setting to 10 can be made.

In addition, by restarting the setting change process from the beginning (from the beginning), instead of continuing from the probability setting value being updated at the time when the power was turned off during the setting change, the update of the probability setting value is restarted. It is possible to update the probability setting value again from the beginning using the probability setting value (probability setting value data 203x11) used in the game so far. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall or the like can renew the probability setting data without anxiety. Details of the setting change process will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, if the setting change flag 203x13 is on as a result of the process of S4206 (S4206: No), it means that the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. As a process for confirming the start-up operation performed when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by the person concerned, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4207). In the process of S4207, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is not permitted and timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is not executed. The state of the RAM erase switch 122 is read by directly accessing the input/output port 205 instead of using what is read.

As a result of the process of S4207, if the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off (S4207: No), it is then determined whether the setting key 501 is in the ON state in order to further confirm the start-up operation ( S4208). In this embodiment, a case will be described in which only determination is made as to whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state. It may be determined whether the switch is on.

As a result of the processing of S4208, if the setting key 501 is in the off state (S4208: NO), the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is in the off state. means operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON (S4209). As a result, if the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON (S4209: Yes), it means that the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, that is, confirmation of the probability setting value by the setting confirmation process. indicates that the power has been cut off during In this case, as shown in FIG. 62, the setting confirmation process is executed from the beginning (S4210). The currently set probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 by the setting confirmation process. Thereby, the probability setting value can be confirmed.

In this way, even if the person involved in the hall performs the start-up operation for starting up in the normal mode as the start-up operation, the pachinko machine 10 is not started up in the normal mode, but the setting confirmation process is started from the beginning ( Start up the pachinko machine 10 in a setting confirmation mode for redoing (from scratch). As a result, even if a person involved in the hall or the like starts up the apparatus by operating in the normal mode after the power is turned off during setting confirmation, the probability setting value can be confirmed. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 can be started up without anxiety because the persons concerned with the hall can confirm that the probability set value is not destroyed by the power cutoff during the confirmation of the setting. Details of the setting confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is OFF as a result of the processing of S4209 (S4209: No), it means that the setting confirmation processing was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. . Further, the process of S4209 is executed when it is determined in the process of S4206 that the setting change flag 203x13 is off (S4206: No), that is, when the power was turned off last time, the setting change process was executed. Even if it was not running.

Therefore, in this case, the startup mode is set to the normal mode indicated by the startup operation by the person concerned with the hall, etc., the setting confirmation processing of S4210 and the processing of S4211, which will be described later, are skipped, and other startup processing is executed. After that (S4214), the process proceeds to the main process. As for other start-up processing, a 4-millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. In this embodiment, similarly to the sixth or seventh embodiment, the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 58) that performs the main control of the game is executed with the 4 millisecond timer interrupt generated every 4 milliseconds as a trigger. . By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt in the processing of S4214, the timer interrupt processing is executed every 4 milliseconds.

In addition, in the main processing of this embodiment, only the update processing of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 and the update processing of the fluctuation type counter CS1 (S702 and S703 in FIG. 17) are executed during the loop. Executes infinite loop processing. Power failure monitoring processing executed in the main processing in the first embodiment (processing for monitoring whether or not there is information on the occurrence of power failure, and executing processing related to power failure when there is information on the occurrence of power failure, FIG. 17) (S701, S704 to S707) are executed in the timer interrupt process in this embodiment.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is on as a result of the process of S4208 (S4208: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is on. means that the startup operation was performed in the setting confirmation mode. Here, the process of S4208 is executed when it is determined in the process of S4206 that the setting change flag 203x13 is off (S4206: No), that is, when the power supply was cut off last time, the setting change process is executed. was not running. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 62, regardless of whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, the pachinko machine 10 is operated in the setting confirmation mode started up by the person concerned with the hall. In order to start up, the process proceeds to S4210, and the setting confirmation process is executed (S4210). The currently set probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 by the setting confirmation process. Thereby, the probability setting value can be confirmed. Details of the setting confirmation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

When the setting confirmation process (S4210) ends, the external output process is executed (S4211). In this external output process, information indicating that the setting confirmation process has been executed or that the probability setting value has been displayed on the base display device 401 is output to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503 . Thus, the persons involved in the hall can understand that the pachinko machine 10 has executed the setting confirmation process and the probability setting value has been displayed on the base display device 401 . Therefore, when the probability setting value is displayed illegally, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, other start-up processes are executed (S4221), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on in the process of S4207, which is the process for confirming the start-up operation performed when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by the hall personnel, etc. ( S4207: Yes), and in order to confirm the activation operation, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state (S4212). In this embodiment, a case will be described in which only determination is made as to whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state. It may be determined whether the switch is on.

As a result of the processing of S4212, if the setting key 501 is on (S4212: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is on. It means that you have performed an up operation. When the startup operation is performed in the setting change mode, as shown in FIG. 62, regardless of whether the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is on or not, that is, whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time. Regardless of whether or not, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is set to the setting change mode.

Therefore, if the setting key 501 is in the ON state as a result of the process of S4212 (S4212: Yes), the setting change process is executed (S4213). By the setting change processing, the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401, and when the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on by a hall official or the like, the probability setting value is updated, and when the setting key 501 is turned off. , the updated probability set value is determined as the probability set value to be used in the game from now on, and RAM clear processing is performed. Thereby, after changing the probability setting value, the game machine can be newly started with the probability setting value after the change. Details of the setting confirmation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Here, even if the setting confirmation process was in progress when the power was turned off last time, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 means that the hall personnel etc. clearly indicate the intention to change the probability set value. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

When the setting change process (S4213) ends, the external output process is executed (S4214). In this external output process, information indicating that the setting change process has been executed or that the probability setting value has been changed is output to hall computer 600 via external output terminal 503 . As a result, the persons involved in the hall can grasp that the setting change process has been executed in the pachinko machine 10 and the probability setting value has been changed. Therefore, when the probability set value is illegally changed, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, other start-up processes are executed (S4221), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, if the setting key 501 is in the off state as a result of the processing of S4212 (S4212: No), then it is determined whether or not the RAM is abnormal by referring to whether or not the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is on. (S4215). Here, the processing of S4207 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4207: Yes), the processing of S4212 determines that the setting key 501 is off (S4212: No), and the processing of S4215 is performed. If executed, the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is always off, so it is determined that there is no RAM abnormality in the processing of S4215 (S4215: No).

In this case, since it is determined in the process of S4206 that the setting change flag 203x13 is off (S4206: No), the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. be. Therefore, the processing of S4207 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4207: Yes), the processing of S4212 determines that the setting key 501 is off (S4212: No), and the processing of S4215 determines that the RAM is abnormal. If it is determined that it is not (S4215: No), it means that the staff involved in the hall performed startup operation in the RAM clear mode, and since the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time, As shown in FIG. 62, the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the RAM clear mode regardless of whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time. Therefore, RAM clear processing is executed (S4216).

In this RAM clearing process, among the data stored in the RAM 203, data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value data 203x11 stored in the internal work area 203x1) is erased (cleared), The character product ratio data 203s, the base value data 203r, and the error data 203t (see FIG. 53) stored in the outer work area 203y1 are retained without being deleted. A new game can be started by erasing the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value data 203x11 stored in the inner work area 203x1). Also, even if the RAM clearing process is executed, the probability set value data 203x11 is held, so the game can be continued with the probability set value determined before the RAM clearing process is executed.

Here, as described above, even if the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, if there is no RAM abnormality and the start-up operation for starting in the RAM clear mode is performed. , the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode according to the start-up operation of the person involved in the hall. Turning on the RAM erase switch 122 indicates at least a clear intention of the persons involved in the hall to clear the RAM. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode, it is possible to perform the start-up processing according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

When the RAM clearing process of S4216 is completed, other start-up processes are executed (S4221), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, if it is determined by the processing of S4203 that the power failure occurrence information is not stored in the RAM 203 (S4203: No), the processing of S4204 changes the calculated RAM determination value to the RAM determination value saved when the power was shut off. If they do not match and it is determined that the RAM determination value is abnormal (S4204: No), or if the process of S4205 determines that the probability setting value is not within the normal range (S4205: No) If this applies, it can be determined that there is an abnormality in the RAM 203, so the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on (S4217). (S4218). Also in the processing of S4218, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is read by directly accessing the input/output port 205 as in the processing of S4207.

As a result of the process of S4218, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4218: Yes), the process proceeds to the process of S4212 described above, and further checks whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state. It judges (S4212). As a result, if the setting key 501 is in the ON state (S4212: Yes), it means that the person involved in the hall or the like has performed the start-up operation in the setting change mode. Then, in this case (S4212: Yes), in order to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode according to the start-up operation of the hall staff, etc., the process proceeds to S4213 and the above-described setting change processing is executed.

Here, even if a RAM abnormality occurs, if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value can be set again and the RAM can be cleared. Therefore, a new game can be started with a newly set normal probability set value. By this RAM clearing, the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned off. Therefore, after that, main controller 110 can control the game without executing the processing related to the RAM abnormality.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is off as a result of the processing of S4218 (S4218: No), and even if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on as a result of the processing of S4218, As a result of the processing, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the OFF state (S4218: Yes, S4212: No), the hall staff and others should select normal mode, RAM clear mode, and setting confirmation mode in the RAM abnormality. It means that the startup operation was performed in one of the startup modes.

In this case, the process proceeds to the above-described S4215, and it is always determined that the RAM is abnormal in the process of S4215 (S4215: Yes), and the process proceeds to S4219. In the processing of S4219, RAM abnormality setting processing is performed (S4219). In this RAM abnormality setting process, a process for notifying RAM abnormality is executed. For example, once the power is turned off, the notification prompting to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode is performed by voice output from the voice output device 226 and / or display on the third symbol display device 81, so that the voice lamp A command is transmitted to the control device 113 .

Then, it executes an external output process for notifying the hall computer 600 of the RAM abnormality via the external output terminal 503 (S4220), executes other start-up processes (S4221), and shifts to the main process. do. Since the RAM abnormality is notified to the hall computer 600, the persons involved in the hall can surely grasp the occurrence of the RAM abnormality without noticing the notification from the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

Here, although the details will be described later, when the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on due to the occurrence of a RAM abnormality, in the timer interrupt process, the main control related to the game is not executed except for the random number update process and the power failure monitoring process. and In other words, the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 enters an infinite loop state since the main control relating to the game is not executed even in the timer interrupt process after shifting to the main process. Then, the RAM abnormality setting process of S4219 and the external output process of S4220 are performed to make the pachinko machine 10 restart in the setting change mode after the hall staff and the like grasp the RAM abnormality, and the probability setting value is reliably set. By resetting and clearing the RAM 203 together with the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, the pachinko machine 10 can be made to operate normally.

Thus, in order to eliminate the RAM abnormality, it is necessary for the pachinko machine 10 to be restarted in the setting change mode by the persons concerned with the hall. A dedicated key corresponding to the setting key 501 is required to start up in the setting change mode. Therefore, a hall (store manager) who manages the dedicated key must intervene to resolve the RAM abnormality. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hole side from solving the RAM abnormality without knowing that the RAM abnormality has occurred.

Next, referring to FIG. 64, the details of the setting change process (S4213), which is one process of the start-up process (FIG. 63), will be described. FIG. 64 is a flow chart showing the setting change process (S4213). The setting change process (S4213) is a process that is executed when the start-up mode is the setting change mode, and is a process for receiving and confirming the change of the probability setting value from the person involved in the hall or the like.

In this setting change process, first, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted (S4301). By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt, timer interrupt processing (FIG. 66), which will be described later, is executed with the occurrence of the 4 millisecond timer interrupt as a trigger. Although the details will be described later, power failure monitoring processing is executed in this timer interrupt processing, and when the power is turned off during execution of the setting change processing, the state at that time is held in the RAM 203 by the power failure monitoring processing. It is configured to wait in an infinite loop until the power supply is completely turned off.

Next, the setting changing flag 203x13 is set to ON (S4302), and initial settings necessary for starting setting change are performed (S4303). In this process of S4303, for example, an initial value is set in the RAM area used in this setting change process. It should be noted that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 may be cleared (turned off) in accordance with the execution of the setting change process at the time of the RAM abnormality, either in the process of S4303 or in the RAM clear process (S4313), which will be described later. good. As described above, when the RAM is abnormal, the pachinko machine 10 is urged to restart the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode. When the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is reset and the RAM 203 is cleared, so that the pachinko machine 10 can operate normally. Therefore, by clearing (setting off) the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 along with execution of the setting change process, it is possible to indicate that the RAM abnormality has been resolved.

Next, the probability setting value data 203x11 indicating the probability setting values that have been used so far is read and stored as update probability setting value data 203x12 (S4303). The probability setting value is updated using the update probability setting value data 203x12 instead of the probability setting value data 203x11. This update probability set value data 203 x 12 is displayed on the base display device 401 . The display mode at this time may be any one of FIGS. 49(a), (b), (c-1), (d-1), and (e-1).

Next, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is set to ON (S4305). Note that the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 may be turned on during the process of S4303. When the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned on until the processing of S4309 (determining whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on) is executed for the first time after the setting change processing is executed. Setting should be done.

Next, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value stored in the update probability setting value data 203x12 is within the normal range (“1” to “6”) (S4306). If it is the probability setting value (S4306: No), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is changed to the initial value (S4307), and the process proceeds to S4308. The initial value may be "1", which is the minimum value of the probability setting values ("1" to "6"), or "3" or "4", which is the intermediate value of the probability setting values. or "6", which is the maximum probability setting value. As a result, even if the probability setting value data 203x11 is destroyed due to a RAM abnormality, or even if the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is destroyed during updating of the probability setting values, the updating probability setting value data 203x12 can be restored. By storing the probability setting value in the normal range as , the probability setting value in the normal range can be updated.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S4306, if it is determined that the probability setting value saved in the update probability setting value data 203x12 is within the range of "1" to "6" (S4306: Yes), the process of S4307 is performed. is skipped, and the process proceeds to S4308.

In the process of S4308, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off (S4308). In the process of S4308, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state (edge is detected), it is determined that the setting key 501 has turned OFF.

As described above, if the power is turned off during execution of the setting change process, even if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the normal mode or the RAM clear mode, which is started by the startup operation with the setting key 501 turned off, This is because the pachinko machine 10 is configured to execute the setting change process from the beginning (from the beginning). In the processing of S4308, if it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off by only seeing that the level of the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the pachinko machine can be restarted by the start-up operation in the normal mode or the RAM clear mode. 10 is launched and execution of the setting change processing is started as described above, the setting key 501 has been in the OFF state from the beginning, so an affirmative determination is immediately made in the processing of S4308, and the probability setting value cannot be updated. , there arises a problem that the probability setting value is determined as described later.

On the other hand, in the processing of S4308, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state (edge is detected), it is determined that the setting key 501 has turned OFF. By making the determination, it is possible to avoid the determination that the setting key 501 is turned off unless the setting key 501 is once turned on and then turned off. Therefore, after the power is turned off during execution of the setting change process, if the pachinko machine 10 is started by the normal mode or RAM clear mode start-up operation and the setting change process is executed, the setting key 501 is turned on once. Since the set probability value can be determined only by turning it to the OFF state after switching to the state, it is possible to avoid the problem that the set probability value is determined without being able to update the set probability value.

As a result of the process of S4308, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is not turned off (S4308: No), it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4309). In the processing of S4309, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 changes from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on, and the probability set value is updated.

As described above, the RAM erase switch 122 is used to determine the startup mode when the pachinko machine 10 is started up, and when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode, the probability setting value is updated. It is also used when That is, the probability set value is updated each time the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. Therefore, when it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on as a result of the process of S4309 (S4309: Yes), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is updated (S4310), and the process returns to S4306. Specifically, in the process of S4010, 1 is added to the updating probability setting value data 203x12 for updating, and when the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is "6", the updating probability setting value data 203x12 is set to "1". update to

On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is not turned on as a result of the process of S4309 (S4309: No), the process of S4310 is skipped and the process returns to S4306.

Thus, in the processing of S4309, when the state of the RAM erase switch 122 changes from the off state to the on state, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 has been turned on. Specifically, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 indicating the previous state of the probability setting RAM erase switch 122 and the output of the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 read in timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 66) to be described later. , and if the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is off and the RAM erase switch 122 is on, it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. After making that determination, in the processing of S4309, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 at that time is stored in the RAM erase switch flag 203x16.

Here, as described above, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is once set to "ON" by the process of S4305 and the like before the process of S4309 is first performed after the execution of the setting change process is started. This is because at the stage of executing the processing of S4309 for the first time, there is a possibility that the RAM erase switch 122 is still turned on as a start-up operation for starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode. If the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off, the RAM erase switch flag 203x16 is turned off and the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. There is a risk of erroneously judging that there was an error and updating the probability setting value. As a result, the people involved in the hall feel distrustful of the fact that the probability set values have been updated even though the RAM erase switch 122 has not been turned on to update the probability set values.

On the other hand, by temporarily setting the RAM erasure switch flag 203x16 to "ON" before the processing of S4309 is performed for the first time after the execution of the setting change processing is started, the pachinko machine is cleared at the time of this first determination. 10 in the setting change mode, the RAM erase switch 122 is still turned on. It is possible to suppress the update of the probability setting value by making a judgment based on the

The loop processing of S4306 to S4310 continues to be executed until it is determined by the processing of S4308 that the setting key 501 is turned on (S4308: Yes). Then, when it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on by the process of S4308 (S4308: Yes), the update probability setting value data 203x12 is saved as the probability setting value data 203x11 (S4311). As a result, the set probability value updated by the person involved in the hall or the like is determined as the set probability value to be used in the game from now on.

Next, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is prohibited (S4312), and execution of timer interrupt processing is stopped. Then, RAM clear processing is executed (S4313), and the setting change processing ends.

In the process of S4313, among the data stored in the RAM 203, data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value data 203x11 stored in the inner work area 203x1) is erased (cleared), and While the character product ratio data 203s stored in the outer work area 203y1 is deleted, the base value data 203r and the error data 203t (see FIG. 53) are retained without being deleted. A new game can be started by erasing the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value data 203x11 stored in the inner work area 203x1). Further, since the probability set value data 203x11 is held, the game can be played with the fixed probability set value.

In addition, the setting changing flag 203x13 is set off by this RAM clearing process. Therefore, if the power is not turned off during execution of the setting change process, the setting change flag 203x13 is set to OFF. remains. Therefore, in the start-up process shown in FIG. 63, if the setting changing flag 203x13 is on, it can be determined that the setting changing process was being executed when the power was last turned off.

Further, if the probability setting value is changed, the role ratio will also change. The ratio cannot be calculated correctly. By deleting the character product ratio data 203s in the setting change RAM clearing process, the character product ratio based on the changed probability setting value can be correctly calculated.

On the other hand, the base value does not change even if the probability setting value is changed. By holding the necessary information, it is possible to discover fraudulent acts performed in the past without concealing them. In addition, in the setting change RAM clearing process, the error data 203t is also held, so that even if the fraudulent person who caused the error starts up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, the error history can be saved. It cannot be erased, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent concealment.

When the setting change process ends, the display of the probability setting values on the base display device 401 ends, and the display of the base values on the base display device 401 starts.

Next, referring to FIG. 65, the details of the setting confirmation process (S4210), which is one process of the start-up process (FIG. 63), will be described. FIG. 65 is a flow chart showing the setting confirmation process (S4215). The setting confirmation process (S4215) is a process executed when the startup mode is the setting confirmation mode, and is a process for displaying the currently set probability setting value on the base display device 401. FIG.

In this setting confirmation process, first, similarly to the process of S4301 in the setting change process, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted (S4401). By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt, timer interrupt processing (FIG. 66), which will be described later, is executed with the occurrence of the 4 millisecond timer interrupt as a trigger. Although the details will be described later, power failure monitoring processing is executed in this timer interrupt processing, and when the power is turned off during execution of the setting change processing, the state at that time is held in the RAM 203 by the power failure monitoring processing. It is configured to wait in an infinite loop until the power supply is completely turned off.

Next, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is set to ON (S4402), for example, as shown in any of FIGS. When the probability setting value indicated by the probability setting value data 203x11 is started to be displayed on the base display device 401 in the display mode, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off (S4403). In the process of S4403, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has transitioned from the ON state to the OFF state (edge is detected), it is determined that the setting key 501 has turned OFF.

As described above, when the power is turned off during execution of the setting confirmation process, even if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the normal mode in which the setting key 501 is turned off by the startup operation, the pachinko machine 10 This is because the setting confirmation process is configured to be executed from the beginning (from the beginning). In the processing of S4403, when it is judged whether or not the setting key 501 is turned off by only seeing that the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the pachinko machine 10 is started up by the startup operation in the normal mode. When the execution of the setting confirmation process is started as described above, since the setting key 501 has been in the off state from the beginning, an affirmative determination is immediately made in the process of S4403, and the confirmation of the probability setting value ends in an instant. A problem arises.

On the other hand, in the processing of S4403, when it is detected that the level of the signal output from the setting key 501 has changed from the ON state to the OFF state (detects an edge), it is determined that the setting key 501 has turned OFF. By making the determination, it is possible to avoid the determination that the setting key 501 is turned off unless the setting key 501 is once turned on and then turned off. Therefore, after the power is turned off during execution of the setting confirmation process, if the pachinko machine 10 is started up by the startup operation in the normal mode and the setting confirmation process is executed, the setting key 501 is turned on once. Since confirmation of the probability setting value can be finished only by turning off, it is possible to avoid the problem that the confirmation of the probability setting value is finished in an instant.

As a result of the processing of S4403, if the setting key 501 is not in the off state (S4403: No), S4403 is repeatedly executed and the setting key 501 is waited until it is in the off state. During this time, the probability set value is continuously displayed on the base display device 401 . Then, when the setting key 501 is turned off (S4403: Yes), the display of the probability set values on the base display device 401 ends, and when the display of the base values on the base display device 401 starts, the setting is being checked. The flag 203x14 is cleared to off (S4404). As a result, if the power is not turned off during execution of the setting confirmation process, the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is set to OFF. remains on. Therefore, in the start-up process shown in FIG. 63, if the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON, it can be determined that the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was last turned off.

Then, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is prohibited (S4405), execution of the timer interrupt process is stopped, and the setting confirmation process is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 66, timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment will be described. FIG. 66 is a flow chart showing the timer interrupt processing. As described above, this timer interrupt process is a process for performing main control of the game, and is triggered by a 4 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 4 milliseconds.

In this timer interrupt processing, first, random number update processing used for the big winning lottery and the winning lottery for the second symbol is executed (S4501), and then power failure monitoring processing is executed (S4502). In the power failure monitoring process, it is monitored whether or not there is information on occurrence of power failure, and if there is information on occurrence of power failure, processing related to power failure is executed (processing corresponding to S701, S704 to S707 in FIG. 17). ).

Next, referring to the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, it is determined whether or not the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is ON and a RAM abnormality has occurred (S4503). As a result, when it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is off and no RAM abnormality has occurred (S4503: No), the processes of S4504 to S4515 are executed as normal game processing.

That is, the test-firing test information setting process for setting the test-firing test information is executed (S4504), and then the payout control device 111, the sound lamp control device 113, the solenoid 209, and the base display device control circuit 402 connected to the input/output port 205 are executed. , 1st pattern display device 37, 2nd pattern display device 83, 2nd pattern reservation lamp 84, external output terminal 503, etc., port output processing to output the output signal set in the previous timer interrupt processing. Execute (S4505).

Next, the states of various sensors, switches 208, etc. are read (S4506). The state of the RAM erase switch 122 is also read by the processing of S4506. Next, subtraction processing of various timers used for game control is executed (S4507), and then, based on an error signal from the payout control device 111, processing for detecting fraud due to impact, magnets, etc. is executed ( S4508).

Next, a discharge control process for controlling the ball discharge by the ball discharge unit 112a is executed (S4509). (S4510), and then executes a payout command transmission process for instructing the payout control device 111 to pay out a ball (S4511).

Next, the first symbol (third symbol, special symbol) variable display and special symbol/special electric control processing related to the big hit are executed (S4512), then the second symbol (normal symbol) variable display and the normal symbol/perfect A general electricity control process is executed (S4513). Then, display LED data setting processing for the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol display device 83, the second symbol reservation lamp 84, etc. is executed (S4514), and output to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503. External signal setting processing for setting the external signal to be used is executed (S4515), and the timer interrupt processing ends.

On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S4503, if it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is ON and that a RAM abnormality has occurred (S4503: Yes), the processing of S4504 to S4515, which is normal game processing, is skipped. , the timer interrupt processing ends.

Thus, when the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is turned on by detecting the occurrence of a RAM abnormality by the start-up process of FIG. control is not executed. As a result, the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 enters an infinite loop state since the main control relating to the game is not executed even in the timer interrupt processing after shifting to the main processing. Then, the pachinko machine 10 is re-started in the setting change mode after the pachinko machine 10 is restarted in the setting change mode after the pachinko machine 10 is made aware of the RAM abnormality by the RAM abnormality setting process of S4219 and the external output process of S4220 of the start-up process, and the probability is set. By surely resetting the value and clearing the RAM 203 together with the RAM abnormality flag 203x15, the pachinko machine 10 can be made to operate normally.

Thus, in order to eliminate the RAM abnormality, it is necessary for the pachinko machine 10 to be restarted in the setting change mode by the persons concerned with the hall. A dedicated key corresponding to the setting key 501 is required to start up in the setting change mode. Therefore, a hall (store manager) who manages the dedicated key must intervene to resolve the RAM abnormality. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hole side from solving the RAM abnormality without knowing that the RAM abnormality has occurred.

On the other hand, in timer interrupt processing, random number update processing and power failure monitoring processing are executed even when a RAM abnormality occurs. By executing random number update processing, random numbers can be continuously generated while the power is on. Further, by executing the power failure monitoring process, even when RAM abnormality occurs, occurrence of power interruption can be monitored, and when power interruption occurs, corresponding processing can be surely executed. In particular, when the pachinko machine 10 has been started in the setting change mode under the condition that the RAM abnormality is detected, the setting change process is executed in the start-up process. If the power is turned off while this setting change processing is being executed, the setting change flag 203x13 is kept ON in the RAM 203, so when the pachinko machine 10 is started next time, The setting change process can be restarted from the beginning regardless of the startup operation.

As described above, the configuration mentioned in the description of the eighth embodiment provides the effects described above. In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to seventh embodiments can produce the same effect as the configuration.

<Ninth Embodiment>
Next, the pachinko machine 10 according to the ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 67 to 75. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 in the sixth embodiment, a setting key 501 is provided on the front side of the main controller 110 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 (that is, the back side of the pachinko machine 10), , the jackpot probability and/or the probability of winning the second symbol can be changed in a plurality of stages (for example, six stages of setting values "1" to "6").

When the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the setting key 501 is provided so as to be exposed in the direction of the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, and when the inner frame 12 is unlocked by a hall official or the like. When the inner frame 12 is rotated with respect to the outer frame 11, the setting keys 501 are exposed to the front of the pachinko machine 10 as the inner frame 12 rotates. With this configuration, when a person involved in the hall wants to change the settings of the pachinko machine 10, he/she can immediately insert the key for changing the settings into the setting key 501 by rotating the inner frame 12. , the setting change operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be performed quickly.

In the hall, an island facility having an automatic ball feeder and the like is installed in a predetermined closed space. It is configured so that a plurality of pachinko machines can be installed in each. Outside the opening hours of the hall, those involved in the hall must unlock the inner frame and/or the front frame and the outer frame of each pachinko machine installed in the island equipment, and lock the outer frame (island equipment). On the other hand, the inner frame and/or the front frame are opened, and the setting change work and maintenance work of each pachinko machine are performed.

However, since the setting keys 501 are configured to be exposed on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, for example, when the pachinko machine 10 is installed on the long side of one of the island facilities in the hall, the pachinko machine 10 is installed. If the inner frame of another pachinko machine installed on the other long side (that is, the back side of the pachinko machine 10) is opened for some reason (e.g., fraudulent act, etc.) Otherwise, it becomes possible to directly operate the setting key 501 provided so as to be exposed on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 . As a result, even when the inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine 10 is not opened, the setting key 501 of the pachinko machine 10 is directly operated by opening the pachinko machine on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. Unauthorized operation of the setting key 501 may change the setting contents, causing an unexpected disadvantage to the hall. In addition, for example, fraudulent acts such as unauthorized replacement of the main controller 110 due to the disconnection of the sealing unit 100c that connects the box base 100a and the box cover 100b of the board box 100 are performed, and unexpected disadvantages are caused to the hall. may cause

Here, like a slot machine, the entire back side of the pachinko machine 10 may be covered with a housing structure to prevent fraudulent actions from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 with respect to the setting keys 501 of the main control device 110. A game machine such as a pachinko machine differs from a slot machine in that it is necessary to replenish balls from the upper side of the island facility and to discharge out-balls. If it is covered with a structure, a complicated structure for replenishment and discharge of balls will be required, and there is a possibility that the manufacturing cost will increase due to the housing structure and the replenishment and discharge structure.

In addition, in the island facility, when considering the wiring connection with the card sanding device arranged adjacent to the left side of the pachinko machine 10 and the connection wiring with the power supply, the back surface structure of the pachinko machine 10, especially the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 The structure on the left side is desirably configured to be open to some extent and to be easily connected by wiring to the above devices.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment, a protective cover member 140 is provided on the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 to cover the setting keys 501 from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, and the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11. In this situation, the protective cover member 140 prevents the setting key 501 from being exposed on the back side of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加By constructing in this way, the setting key 501 cannot be directly operated from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 by the protective cover member 140 when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11.例文帳に追加can prevent fraudulent actions such as unauthorized operation of the setting key 501 .

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment, the sealing unit 100c provided on the left side of the board box 100 when viewed from the back (the right side of the pachinko machine 10 when viewed from the front) housing the main controller 110 is covered with the protective cover member 140. By configuring the sealing unit 100c so that it cannot be directly contacted, it is difficult to perform fraud such as cutting the sealing unit 100c and replacing the main controller 110, and the hall will be disadvantaged based on the fraudulent act. can be prevented from occurring.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the ninth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the points that differ from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to eighth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to eighth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first to eighth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 67, the rear configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment will be described. FIG. 67 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 in the ninth embodiment. The pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment differs from the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment in that the outer frame 11 is constructed by combining a wooden plate material and an aluminum plate material, and the outer frame 11 is attached with a protective cover member 140 . Other configurations are the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment.

The outer frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment has an upper board 11a made of a wooden plate material as an upper side and a lower board 11b made of a similar wooden board material as a lower side. The left side plate 11c made of a high aluminum plate material serves as the left side, and the right side plate 11d made of the same aluminum plate material serves as the right side.

By forming the left side plate 11c and the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 from aluminum plates, even if the thickness of the left side plate 11c and the right side plate 11d is thinner than that of a conventional wooden plate, the outer frame Since the rigidity of the entire pachinko machine 11 can be maintained, the design space in the horizontal direction of the pachinko machine 10 can be secured, and the degree of freedom in designing the pachinko machine 10 can be increased.

In addition, the left side plate 11c and the right side plate 11d are formed to have a U-shaped cross-section when viewed from above. and a rear surface portion extending toward the inner side of the pachinko machine 10 on the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 in the side portion.

In addition, the pachinko machine 10 is configured such that the outer frame 11 (that is, the pachinko machine 10) is driven by driving nails into island equipment (not shown) from the inner wall sides of the upper plate 11a and the lower plate 11b of the outer frame 11. is configured to be attached and fixed to the island facility.

The protective cover member 140 is fixed to the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 by a fixing screw 11g (see FIG. 69), which will be described later. configured to cover together.

Note that the base display device 401 and the error display button 502 of the main control device 110 are not covered with the protective cover member 140 and are exposed toward the back side of the pachinko machine 10 . This is because the base display device 401 and the error display button 502 are devices used to display the status of the pachinko machine 10, not to change the setting contents of the pachinko machine 10, so that fraudulent acts are unlikely to occur. Therefore, there is little need for covering with the protective cover member 140 . By configuring in this way, the protective cover member 140 can be formed with the minimum necessary size, and the manufacturing cost required for the protective cover member 140 can be reduced.

Details of the protective cover member 140 of the ninth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 68(a) is a left front perspective view of the protective cover member 140 in the ninth embodiment as seen from the left front, and FIG. 68(b) is a right rear view of the protective cover member 140 in the ninth embodiment. 1 is a right rear perspective view. FIG.

The protective cover member 140 is made of transparent resin (for example, polycarbonate resin) as a whole. A standing portion 160 formed extending in the back direction (rear side) of the pachinko machine 10, and the right side of the pachinko machine 10 from the tip side of the standing portion 160 (that is, the back side (rear side) of the pachinko machine 10). (that is, the cover portion 170 extending in the left direction of the pachinko machine 10 when viewed from the front).

The cover mounting portion 150 includes a mounting surface 151 that is in surface contact with a portion of the inner wall surface of the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11, and an upper mounting hole 152 and a lower mounting hole 153 formed in the mounting surface 151. , and a curved portion 154 formed in a shape that abuts along the inner wall shape of the right side plate 11d.

An upper mounting hole 152 and a lower mounting hole 153 are formed in the mounting surface 151 so that a fixing screw 11g (see FIG. 69), which will be described later, can be inserted. The upper mounting hole 152 and the lower mounting hole 153 are positioned so that they can be mounted in an upper cover mounting hole 11e and a lower cover mounting hole 11f (see FIG. 69) formed in the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11, respectively. is provided.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 69 to 71, a manner of attaching the protective cover member 140 to the outer frame 11 will be described. FIG. 69 is a right side view of the pachinko machine 10 (excluding the front frame 14) in the ninth embodiment. FIG. 70 is a left front perspective view for explaining how to attach the protective cover member 140 to the outer frame 11 in the ninth embodiment. Furthermore, FIG. 71 is a front view of the outer frame 11 and the protective cover member 140 attached to the outer frame 11 in the ninth embodiment. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 69 shows the front frame 14 removed from the outer frame 11 and the inner frame 12, and FIGS. The attached state is illustrated, and the description thereof is also omitted.

First, as shown in FIG. 69, a cover upper mounting hole, which is a through hole for mounting the protective cover member 140, is provided slightly below the central portion of the side surface of the right side plate 11d constituting the outer frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10. A fixing screw 11g is screwed into each hole 11e and a lower cover mounting hole 11f.

Next, as shown in FIG. 70, the upper cover mounting hole 11e and the lower cover mounting hole 11f are formed at positions corresponding to the upper mounting hole 152 and the lower mounting hole 153 of the protective cover member 140, respectively. Specifically, a cover upper mounting hole 11 e is formed at a position corresponding to the upper mounting hole 152 , and a cover lower mounting hole 11 f is formed at a position corresponding to the lower mounting hole 153 . Then, while the (outer) mounting surface 151 and the curved portion 154 of the protective cover member 140 are in contact with the inner wall side of the side surface portion and the rear surface portion of the right side plate 11d, the outer side of the right side plate 11d (the right rear side in FIG. 70) is ) into the cover upper mounting hole 11e and the upper mounting hole 152, and into the cover lower mounting hole 11f and the lower mounting hole 153, so that the outer frame 11 ( A protective cover member 140 is fixed to the right side plate 11d).

Here, the curved portion 154 of the protective cover member 140 is formed in a shape that contacts the inner wall shape of the side surface portion and the rear surface portion of the right side plate 11d. A rear surface portion of the right side plate 11d is made of aluminum. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the inner walls of the side and rear surfaces of the right side plate 11d abut against the curved portion 154, and the right side plate 11d and the protective cover member 140 are in contact with each other. A gap (space) is not generated. As a result, in a state in which the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the fixing screw 11g inserted into the upper mounting hole 152 and the cover upper mounting hole 11e from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, and the lower mounting To prevent a protective cover member 140 from being attached and detached from the back side of a pachinko machine 10 by configuring a fixing screw 11g inserted in a hole 153 and a cover lower attachment hole 11f so as not to be directly operated. can be done.

In addition, a card sanding device (not shown) is installed adjacent to the pachinko machine 10 on an island facility, and normally a gap is not formed between the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 and the card sanding device. is configured to Therefore, by configuring the fixing screw 11g so that it cannot be directly operated from the right side of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to prevent the protective cover member 140 from being attached or detached from the side of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

Therefore, it is difficult to remove the protective cover member 140 from the back side or the side side of the pachinko machine 10, and by covering the setting keys 501 with the protective cover member 140 when the inner frame 12 is closed, the setting keys 501 can be directly accessed. can be made inoperable.

Also, this curved portion 154 is formed in a thin plate shape, and is configured to be elastically deformable based on the elastic force of the resin material forming the protective cover member 140 as a whole. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the protective cover member 140, the curved portion 154 allows the protective cover member 140 to bend slightly in the lateral direction of the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIG. With this configuration, for example, when the inner frame 12 is closed, even if the main controller 110 (see FIG. 69) comes into contact with the protective cover member 140 due to the force of closing and receives an impact, The curved portion 154 bends due to its elastic force and absorbs the impact, thereby preventing the protective cover member 140 from being damaged.

Here, returning to FIGS. 68(a) and 68(b) again, the configuration of the protective cover member 140 will be described. In addition to the cover mounting portion 150, the protective cover member 140 is provided with a standing portion 160 extending from the cover mounting portion 150 toward the rear side of the pachinko machine 10, and the tip side of the standing portion 160 (that is, A cover portion 170 is formed in a cantilever shape extending from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 toward the left side of the pachinko machine 10 when viewed from the front. The upright portion 160 is provided with an upright cover wall 161 , an upright upper cover portion 162 , an upright lower cover portion 163 , an upright inner rib 164 , and an upright outer rib 165 . Further, the cover portion 170 is provided with a cover plate 171 , a cover-side protrusion 172 , a key cover portion 173 , and cover outer ribs 174 .

From here, the configuration of the standing portion 160 will be described in detail. The upright cover wall 161 is formed so as to continuously extend from the curved portion 154 of the cover attachment portion 150 toward the pachinko machine 10 rear side. The upright cover wall 161 covers the right side surface of the main controller 110 when viewed from the front (left side surface when viewed from the back), and the main controller is provided with a setting key 501 and a sealing unit 100c (both of which are shown in FIG. 72), which will be described later. It is possible to prevent fraudulent actions from the right side of 110 when viewed from the front (left side when viewed from the back).

The upright upper cover portion 162 is composed of an upper inner cover portion 162a and an upper outer cover portion 162b. The upper inner cover portion 162a extends horizontally from the entire upper portion of the upright cover wall 161 and a portion of the upper portion of the cover plate 171 toward the inside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main controller 110 is arranged). It is set up. The upper outer cover portion 162b extends horizontally from the entire upper portion of the upright cover wall 161 toward the outside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main controller 110 is not arranged).

By forming the upright upper cover portion 162 so that the upper inner cover portion 162a and the upper outer cover portion 162b are flush with each other in this way, the upper right portion (upper left portion when viewed from the back) of the main control device 110 is It is possible to prevent fraudulent actions from the upper right side in front view (upper left side in back view) of main controller 110 covered with setting keys 501 and a sealing unit 100c (see FIG. 72 for both), which will be described later. In addition, the upper outer cover portion 162b prevents the wire from traveling upward from the outer side of the upright cover wall 161 in the event of fraudulent activity using a wire from the left side of the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, for example. colliding with the upper outer cover portion 162b, the wire can be prevented from entering.

The upright lower cover portion 163 is composed of a lower inner cover portion 163a (see FIG. 68(a)) and a lower outer cover portion 163b (see FIG. 68(b)). The lower inner cover portion 163a extends horizontally from the entire lower portion of the upright cover wall 161 and the entire lower portion of the cover plate 171 toward the inside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main controller 110 is arranged). formed. The lower outer cover portion 163b extends horizontally from the entire lower portion of the upright cover wall 161 toward the outside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main controller 110 is not arranged).

In addition, the lower inner cover portion 163a has a larger area than the upper inner cover portion 162a. This is because the main control device 110 is located closer to the lower side of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 67), and access to the main control device 110 is more from the lower side than from the upper side of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, in many cases, a person who cheats on the main controller 110 commits cheating by inserting a wire or the like from the lower back side of the pachinko machine 10 . Therefore, in order to prevent the above-described fraudulent act, the area of the lower inner cover portion 163a is formed to be large, and the lower inner cover portion 163a allows the main controller 110 to be positioned at the lower right side (lower left side when viewed from the back) of the main control device 110 when viewed from the front. The gap between the control device 110 and the protective cover member 140 is designed to be as small as possible.

In this way, by forming the upright lower cover portion 163 so that the lower inner cover portion 163a and the lower outer cover portion 163b are flush with each other, the lower right side (lower left side when viewed from the back) of the main control device 110 is It is possible to prevent fraudulent actions from the lower right side in front view (lower left side in back view) of main controller 110 covered with setting keys 501 and a sealing unit 100c (see FIG. 72 for both), which will be described later. In addition, the lower outer cover portion 163b prevents the wire from contacting the lower outer cover portion 163b when the wire travels downward from the outside of the upright cover wall 161 when, for example, an illegal act is performed using a wire. You can prevent the wire from entering by bumping into it.

The standing inner rib 164 (see FIG. 68(a)) is formed in a rib-like shape in which the protruding amount gradually increases toward the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 at the middle portion of the standing cover wall 161 inside the pachinko machine 10. there is The erected inner rib 164 functions as a reinforcing rib for the erected cover wall 161 and prevents the erected cover wall 161 from being damaged. The degree of reinforcement of the standing cover wall 161 is increased by gradually increasing the protrusion amount of the standing inner rib 164 toward the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 within a range that does not contact the device 110).

The standing outer rib 165 (see FIG. 68(b)) is formed in a rib-like shape in which the amount of protrusion gradually decreases toward the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 in the middle portion of the standing cover wall 161 outside the pachinko machine 10, It is formed at a position that is paired with the above-described upright inner rib 164 on the inside/outside. Like the upright inner rib 164, the upright outer rib 165 functions as a reinforcing rib for the upright cover wall 161 and prevents the upright cover wall 161 from being damaged.

In addition, the standing outer rib 165 is formed to have the same protrusion amount as the upper outer cover portion 162b and the lower outer cover portion 163b described above, and the pachinko machine 10 to which the protective cover member 140 is attached is installed on the island facility. When the pachinko machine 10 is installed, the standing outer rib 165 does not become an obstacle when it is installed.

From here, the structure of the cover part 170 is demonstrated in detail. The cover plate 171 extends from the upright portion 160 (the upright cover wall 161, the upright upper cover portion 162, the upright lower cover portion 163, and the upright inner rib 164) so that the plate surface of the cover plate 171 extends in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10. Each of them extends to a position above the setting portion 100d (see FIG. 72) of the main control device 110 and below the base display device 401 (error display button 502).

On the front side of the pachinko machine 10 of this cover plate 171 (that is, the side facing the main controller 110; hereinafter the same), at a position corresponding to the setting section 100d (see FIG. 72) of the main controller 110, which will be described later, A cover-side protrusion 172 is formed in a square shape so as to protrude toward the front side of the pachinko machine 10 , and a portion of the cover plate 171 surrounded by the cover-side protrusion 172 constitutes a key cover portion 173 .

The cover-side protrusion 172 is formed so as to enter a space formed by a setting portion side wall 100e of a setting portion 100d and a case-side protrusion 100g, which will be described later. formed by

Next, as shown in FIG. 71, the protective cover member 140 attached to the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 is installed so that the plate surface of the cover plate 171 of the cover portion 170, which will be described later, faces the front side of the pachinko machine 10. be done. Also, on this cover plate 171, a later-described setting section 100d (see FIG. 74) provided in the board box 100 of the main controller 110 is hereinafter simply referred to as "the board box 100 of the main controller 110". 110"), and a key surrounded by the cover-side protrusion 172 formed in a square-shaped protrusion on the front side of the pachinko machine 10 and the cover-side protrusion 172 A cover portion 173 is provided. Therefore, the key cover portion 173 of the protective cover member 140 and the setting portion 100d of the main controller 110 are configured to face each other.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 72 to 74, the configurations of the setting portion 100d, the cover-side protrusion 172 of the protective cover member 140, and the key cover portion 173 in the main control device 110 of the ninth embodiment will be described. 72 is a front view of the board box 100 of the main controller 110 in the ninth embodiment, FIG. 73 is a cross-sectional view of the pachinko machine 10 taken along line AA in FIG. 67, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of main controller 110 and protective cover member 140 in area B of FIG. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 72 omits illustration of parts that are not related to the present invention, and FIG. The explanation is also omitted.

First, as shown in FIG. 72, the main controller 110 of the ninth embodiment is housed in a substrate box 100 that combines a box base 100a (see FIG. 74) and a box cover 100b. A setting key 501 is provided on the main board constituting the control device 110 to be used when changing the set probability setting value or when confirming the set probability setting value.

The box cover 100b is provided with a setting portion 100d at a position corresponding to the setting key 501, and the setting portion 100d is a cover-side projection from the outermost surface side of the box cover 100b (that is, the back side of the pachinko machine 10). It is recessed by the projection amount of 172 and is formed in a size that the entire cover-side projection 172 can be accommodated. A setting portion side wall 100e, a setting portion bottom surface 100f, and a case-side protrusion 100g are provided as parts constituting the setting portion 100d.

The setting portion side wall 100e extends from the outermost surface side of the box cover 100b toward the main board side (not shown), and as shown in FIGS. The height (the recessed amount of the setting portion 100 d ) is formed to be equal to the protrusion amount of the cover-side protrusion 172 .

The setting portion bottom surface 100f extends from the setting portion side wall 100e, has a keyhole (not shown) that exposes the keyhole portion of the setting key 501, and is formed to block the portion other than the keyhole. . By configuring in this manner, the setting keys 501 can be operated while the main controller 110 is housed in the closed space formed by the box base 100a (see FIG. 74) and the box cover 100b.

The case-side protrusion 100g is formed to protrude from the setting portion bottom surface 100f toward the protective cover member 140 (back side of the pachinko machine 10) so as to have the same amount of protrusion as the cover-side protrusion 172 of the protective cover member 140. ing. Also, the cover-side protrusion 172 of the protective cover member 140 is formed to be accommodated in the space formed by the setting portion side wall 100e and the case-side protrusion 100g.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the cover-side protrusion 172 is positioned in the space formed by the setting portion side wall 100e and the case-side protrusion 100g. The case-side protrusion 100g contacts the cover plate 171 of the protective cover member 140, while the cover-side protrusion 172 contacts the setting portion bottom surface 100f of the setting portion 100d. . With this configuration, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the portion where the setting key 501 is arranged is hermetically sealed by the key cover portion 173 of the protective cover member 140 and the case-side protrusion 100g of the setting portion 100d. By making it difficult to access the setting part 100d by the side projection 172, the security of the setting key 501 is improved and there is no room for a wire or the like to enter.

Also, the case-side protrusion 100g of the main control device 110 and the cover plate 171 of the protective cover member 140 are in contact with the setting portion bottom surface 100f of the main control device 110 and the cover-side protrusion 172 of the protective cover member 140. Therefore, if the setting key 501 is left inserted with the setting change key, the inner frame 12 cannot be locked with respect to the outer frame 11 . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hall staff from forgetting to collect the setting change key.

Returning to FIGS. 68(a) and 68(b), the description is continued. On the back side of the pachinko machine 10 of the cover plate 171 (that is, the side not facing the main controller 110), cover outer ribs 174 are formed in square and cross ribs. The cover outer rib 174 functions as a reinforcing rib for the cover plate 171 and prevents the cover plate 171 from being damaged.

In addition, the cover outer rib 174 also prevents the wire from moving upward or downward on the cover plate 171 when, for example, a fraudulent act is performed using a wire from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 . By bumping against the outer rib 174, the wire can be prevented from entering.

Next, with reference to FIG. 75, the state of the pachinko machine 10 at the time of work for changing the settings of the pachinko machine 10 in the ninth embodiment will be described. FIG. 75 is a front left perspective view showing the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 unfolded (opened) with respect to the outer frame 11 to which the protective cover member 140 is attached according to the ninth embodiment. For the convenience of explanation, the illustration of parts not related to the present invention is omitted or simplified in FIG. 75, and the explanation thereof is also omitted.

As shown in FIG. 75, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are unlocked from the outer frame 11 by a person involved in the hall outside the opening hours of the hall, the state shown in FIG. The frame 14 rotates with respect to the outer frame 11, and the back side of the inner frame 12 is exposed toward the front side of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加At this time, the protective cover member 140 remains fixed to the outer frame 11 , and the setting key 501 of the main controller 110 installed on the back surface of the inner frame 12 is used to rotate the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 . It is exposed to the front side of the pachinko machine 10 as it moves, and is immediately operable by a person involved in the pachinko hall.

Therefore, a person involved in the pachinko hall can immediately change the settings of the pachinko machine 10 only by unlocking and rotating the inner frame 12 without performing complicated work such as removing the protective cover member 140.例文帳に追加. In addition, the setting change work can be performed while visually recognizing the base display device 401, and the setting change work can be easily performed.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment, the protective cover member 140 that covers the setting keys 501 from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 is provided on the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11. When the inner frame 12 is closed, the protective cover member 140 prevents the setting key 501 from being exposed to the back side of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加Also, when the inner frame 12 is unlocked and setting change work is performed, the back side of the inner frame 12 is exposed to the front of the pachinko machine 10 while the protective cover member 140 remains on the outer frame 11.例文帳に追加configured to

With this configuration, in a situation where the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the setting key 501 can be directly operated from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 with a simple configuration using the protective cover member 140. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unauthorized actions such as unauthorized operation of the setting key 501 . In addition, since the security performance on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved without using a housing structure such as that of a slot machine, an increase in the manufacturing cost of the pachinko machine 10 due to the use of a housing structure or the like can be suppressed. be able to.

When the inner frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11, the setting keys 501 of the main control unit 110 installed on the back surface of the inner frame 12 are used for pachinko as the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are rotated. It is exposed on the front side of the machine 10 and is immediately operable by hall personnel. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall can change the settings of the pachinko machine 10 without performing complicated work such as removing the protective cover member 140 . In addition, the setting change work can be performed while visually recognizing the base display device 401, and the setting change work can be easily performed.

Further, when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the cover-side protrusion 172 is configured to enter the space formed by the setting portion side wall 100e and the case-side protrusion 100g. When the side projection 100g contacts the cover plate 171 of the protective cover member 140, the cover-side projection 172 contacts the setting portion bottom surface 100f of the setting portion 100d. With this configuration, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the portion where the setting key 501 is arranged is hermetically sealed by the key cover portion 173 of the protective cover member 140 and the case-side protrusion 100g of the setting portion 100d. By making it difficult to access the setting part 100d by the side projection 172, the security of the setting key 501 is improved and there is no room for a wire or the like to enter.

Further, the case-side protrusion 100g of the main controller 110 and the cover plate 171 of the protective cover member 140 are brought into contact with the setting portion bottom surface 100f of the main controller 110 and the cover-side protrusion 172 of the protective cover member 140. Since the inner frame 12 cannot be locked with respect to the outer frame 11 if the key for changing the setting is left inserted in the setting key 501, the setting by the person involved in the hall cannot be performed. It is possible to prevent forgetting to collect the change key.

Further, when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the inner wall of the right side plate 11d and the curved portion 154 abut against each other, so that no gap (space) is generated between the right side plate 11d and the protective cover member 140. state. As a result, in a state in which the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the fixing screw 11g inserted into the upper mounting hole 152 and the cover upper mounting hole 11e from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, and the lower mounting To prevent a protective cover member 140 from being attached and detached from the back side of a pachinko machine 10 by configuring a fixing screw 11g inserted in a hole 153 and a cover lower attachment hole 11f so as not to be directly operated. can be done.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 is provided with a card sanding device adjacent to the island facility, and is normally constructed so that no gap is formed between the right side plate 11d of the outer frame 11 and the card sanding device. . Therefore, by configuring the fixing screw 11g so that it cannot be directly operated from the right side of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to prevent the protective cover member 140 from being attached or detached from the side of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

Also, this curved portion 154 is formed in a thin plate shape, and is configured to be elastically deformable based on the elastic force of the resin material forming the protective cover member 140 as a whole. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the protective cover member 140, the curved portion 154 allows the protective cover member 140 to bend slightly in the lateral direction of the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIG. With this configuration, for example, when the inner frame 12 is closed, even if the main control device 110 comes into contact with the protective cover member 140 due to the closing momentum and receives an impact, the curved portion 154 remains elastic. It is possible to prevent the protective cover member 140 from being damaged by bending due to force and absorbing the impact.

Furthermore, the upper outer cover portion 162b, the lower outer cover portion 163b, and the cover outer ribs 174 prevent the wire from standing up and covering the cover wall 161 or the cover plate 171 when, for example, a wire is used from the rear surface of the pachinko machine 10 for fraudulent activity. Intrusion of the wire can be prevented by hitting the upper outer cover portion 162b, the lower outer cover portion 163b, or the cover outer rib 174 when the wire travels upward or downward from the outside of the cover.

In addition, the area of the lower inner cover portion 163a is formed to be large, and the main control device 110 and the protective cover member 140 are separated by the lower inner cover portion 163a from the lower right side of the main control device 110 when viewed from the front (lower left side when viewed from the back). It is designed so that the gap is minimized. With this configuration, the lower right side (lower left side when viewed from the back) of main controller 110 is covered, and the lower right side (lower side when viewed from the back) of main controller 110 on which setting key 501 and sealing unit 100c are provided. It is possible to prevent fraudulent actions from the lower left side).

As described above, the configuration mentioned in the description of the ninth embodiment provides the effects described above. In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to eighth embodiments can produce the same effect as that of the configuration.

<Tenth Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a tenth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 76 to 78. FIG. In the sixth embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the RAM erase switch 122, the setting key 501, and the door opening switch 208g for detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 (in the tenth embodiment, the inner frame The start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is determined according to the state of the open switch 208g1).

That is, when the power is turned on, the detection mode of the setting key 501 and the RAM erase switch 122 is detected, and the detection mode of the door opening switch 208g is detected. configured to change.

However, when determining the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 based on the detection result of the door opening switch 208g, if the door opening switch 208g fails to detect ON (that is, the opening of the inner frame 12), the door It becomes impossible to start up the start-up mode (that is, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode) that is set based on the detection of the open switch 208g. Therefore, erroneous detection of the door opening switch 208g may make it impossible to change settings, etc., which are important game elements of the pachinko machine 10, making it impossible for the hall to operate as intended.

In addition, in the start-up process at the time of power-on, a process for detecting the door opening switch 208g is required, which complicates the control required at the time of power-on and increases the processing load of the main controller 110. There is a risk.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment, while adopting the protective cover member 140 in the ninth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the inner frame opening switch 208g1 which is the door opening switch 208g Regardless of the detection result, the startup mode of the pachinko machine 10 is determined according to the two detection states of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501.例文帳に追加

By configuring in this way, the protective cover member 140 prevents fraudulent acts on the setting keys 501 from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 when the inner frame 12 is closed, while opening the inner frame open switch 208g1 when the inner frame 12 is opened. Regardless of the reliability, it is possible to change settings, etc., which are important game elements of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加Therefore, the security performance of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved, and the business form assumed by the hall can be reliably executed.

In addition, in the start-up process at the time of power-on, since the process of detecting the inner frame open switch 208g1 is unnecessary, the processing of the detection process is not executed, so that the processing load of the main controller 110 can be reduced. can be done.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the tenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to ninth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to ninth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first to ninth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

First, with reference to FIG. 76, each start-up mode when the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 76 shows the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 in the tenth embodiment, and the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on for each start-up mode in order to start up in that start-up mode. is a diagram showing each piece of information.

As with the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment, the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment includes four modes of normal mode, RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode. ing. The RAM clear mode is a mode for erasing (clearing) data stored in the RAM 203 in order to restore the pachinko machine 10 to its initial state. The setting change mode is a mode for changing the set probability setting value. The setting confirmation mode is a mode for confirming the set probability setting value.

The normal mode is a startup mode other than the RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode. This is a mode for restarting the game of the pachinko machine 10 from the state before power-off by executing various start-up processes while holding the data stored in the RAM 203 except for .

When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on without turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 and with the setting key 501 in the off state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the normal mode. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the RAM clear mode.

On the other hand, when the setting key 501 is turned on, the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, regardless of the detection result of the door opening switch 208 (that is, even if it is ON detection) off detection), the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting change mode. Also, if the setting key 501 is turned on and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off, regardless of the detection result of the inner frame opening switch 208g1 (that is, even if it is ON detection) off detection), the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting confirmation mode.

As described above, when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, regardless of whether the inner frame 12 is unlocked or not, if the setting key 501 is kept in the off state, the hall personnel can use the RAM erase switch. Depending on whether or not 122 is turned on, it is possible to select, as the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10, whether the RAM clear mode, which is a start-up mode unrelated to the probability setting value, or the normal mode.

On the other hand, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, regardless of whether the inner frame 12 is unlocked or not, if the setting key 501 is kept in the ON state, the hall personnel and the like can press the RAM erase switch 122. Depending on whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, a setting change mode related to the probability setting value or a setting confirmation mode can be selected as the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁

That is, regardless of the detection mode of the inner frame open switch 208g1, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or on, the startup mode that is not related to the probability set value and the probability set value are related. You can choose between different boot modes. When the start-up mode that is not related to the set probability value is selected, it is possible to select whether the start-up mode is the RAM clear mode or the normal mode depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. When the start-up mode related to the probability setting value is selected, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode can be selected depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on.

Here, since the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment is configured so that setting change or setting confirmation is possible regardless of the opening of the inner frame 12, the back side of the pachinko machine 10 when the inner frame 12 is closed However, the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment employs the protective cover member 140 of the ninth embodiment. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the protective cover member 140 prevents direct contact with the setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c from the back side of the pachinko machine 10. FIG. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts at the time of closing the inner frame 12 while making it possible to change settings without performing processing such as detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 .

In other words, providing the protective cover member 140 means that the inner frame 12 is opened when the setting key 501 is operated. Therefore, it can be recognized that the inner frame 12 is open without detecting the inner frame open switch 208g1 in the process.

Next, with reference to FIG. 77, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 77 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 77, an inner frame open switch 208g1 is connected to the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110 of the tenth embodiment. The inner frame open switch 208g1 is for detecting whether or not the inner frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11, and a protruding piece (not shown) protruding from the upper back side of the inner frame 12 , an elastic body (not shown) such as a spring that applies an elastic force to the projecting piece, and a detection sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the projecting piece. When the inner frame 12 is closed, the projecting piece of the inner frame open switch 208g1 is pressed against the upper part of the outer frame 11, and is recessed into the inner frame 12 because the force of the cylinder lock 20 is stronger than the elastic force of the elastic body. On the other hand, when a special key is inserted into the cylinder lock 20 and turned in a first direction (for example, clockwise), the inner frame 12 is released from the outer frame 11, and when the inner frame 12 is released, the elastic force of the elastic body The protruding piece is configured to protrude toward the outer frame 11 side. When the detection sensor detects the projection of the projecting piece, the inner frame opening switch 208g1 is determined to be ON, and an inner frame opening signal is output.

The detection result of the inner frame open switch 208 g 1 (that is, the presence or absence of the inner frame open signal) is input to the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 via the input/output port 205 . In this case, when the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not determined to be ON and does not output the inner frame open signal to the MPU201. On the other hand, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is determined to be ON when the inner frame 12 is in the open state with respect to the outer frame 11, and outputs an inner frame open signal to the MPU201. The MPU 201 specifies that the inner frame 12 is open when the inner frame open signal is input from the inner frame open switch 208g1, and the inner frame 12 is closed when the inner frame open signal is not input. state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 78, startup processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 in the tenth embodiment is turned on will be described. FIG. 78 is a flow chart showing this startup process. This start-up process is started by a reset when the power is turned on.

In the startup process of the tenth embodiment, first, an initial value setting process is executed upon power-on (S4401). For example, access permission to the RAM 203 is set, and a predetermined value is set in the stack pointer.

Next, an internal function register setting process is executed (S4402). In the tenth embodiment, as in the eighth embodiment, the base display control processing (see FIG. 57) for controlling the display content to be displayed on the base display device 401 is triggered by a 2 millisecond timer interrupt that occurs every 2 milliseconds. Execute. In the process of S4402, for example, the 2 millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. Further, in the case where the random number generation circuit (not shown) provided in the main controller 110 is used to generate the random number values required for the jackpot lottery or the winning lottery, the range of the random number to be generated ( maximum value). Also, access to the RAM 203 is permitted in the processing of S4402. In addition, in the processing of S4402, the main controller 110 performs various settings for transmitting and receiving signals by serial communication with the payout controller 111 and the sound lamp controller 113.

In particular, by enabling the 2 millisecond timer interrupt in this internal function register setting processing, a 2 millisecond timer interrupt occurs every 2 milliseconds and the base display control processing is executed. Then, when the pachinko machine 10 is started up in the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode, the probability setting value can be displayed on the base display device 401.例文帳に追加

Note that it is not always necessary to set the range (maximum value) of the random number in the process of S4402. If the random value range (maximum value) is not set in the process of S4402, during the other start-up process (S4421), which will be described later and is executed when the start-up process shifts to the main process, The random number range (maximum value) may be set, which was not performed in the processing of S4402.

Next, it is determined whether or not the power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S4403). As a result, if information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored (S4403: Yes), it means that the process at the time of the previous power interruption was completed normally. It is determined whether or not the calculated RAM determination value is normal, that is, whether or not the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value saved when the power was turned off (S4404). The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the work area address of RAM 203 . In the tenth embodiment, the probability setting value stored in the RAM 203 is excluded from the calculation of the checksum value, but the probability setting value may be included in the calculation of the checksum value.

As a result of the processing of S4404, if it is determined that the calculated RAM determination value matches the RAM determination value saved when the power was shut off (S4404: Yes), the RAM determination value is normal, and at least the RAM determination value is used for calculating the RAM determination value. Since it can be determined that the received data (information) is normally held, it is then determined whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range ("1" to "6") (S4405). Here, the reason for judging whether or not the probability setting value is within the normal range is that when the power was turned off last time, although the processing related to the power interruption was performed normally, the probability setting value This is because there is a possibility that it is broken and out of the normal range. The processing of S4405 is performed in order to reliably detect such an abnormality in the set probability value.

If the probability setting value is within the normal range (S4405: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the setting changing flag 203x13 (see FIG. 61) is on (S4406). If the setting changing flag 203x13 is ON (S4406: Yes), it means that the setting change process was being executed when the power was turned off last time. is broken. Therefore, in this case, the process proceeds to S4413, and the setting change process is executed (S4413).

As a result, the startup mode when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while changing the settings is not only the startup operation for starting up in the setting change mode, but also other startup modes. Even if it is an operation, it is possible to enter a setting change mode in which the setting change process is executed again from the beginning. Therefore, when the power is turned off during the setting change, when the power is turned on after that, it is possible to make the hall personnel change the probability setting value from scratch without fail. Therefore, it is possible to have the person involved in the hall or the like surely change the probability set value, and to confirm the change. Therefore, even if the power is turned off while the settings are being changed, the pachinko machine can reliably update and confirm the probability setting values when the power is turned on again. A change in the probability setting to 10 can be made.

In addition, by restarting the setting change process from the beginning (from the beginning), instead of continuing from the probability setting value being updated at the time when the power was turned off during the setting change, the update of the probability setting value is restarted. It is possible to update the probability setting value again from the beginning using the probability setting value (probability setting value data 203x11) used in the game so far. Therefore, the persons involved in the hall or the like can renew the probability setting data without anxiety.

On the other hand, if the setting change flag 203x13 (see FIG. 61) is off as a result of the process of S4406 (S4406: No), it means that the setting change process was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. Therefore, next, as processing for confirming the start-up operation performed when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by the hall staff, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4407). In the process of S4407, the 4 millisecond timer interrupt is not permitted and the timer interrupt process is not executed. The state of the RAM erase switch 122 is read by directly accessing the input/output port 205 instead of using a physical object.

If the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off as a result of the processing of S4407 (S4407: No), then it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state in order to further confirm the startup operation ( S4408). In the tenth embodiment, in this S4408, it is configured not to detect the inner frame open switch 208g1. Therefore, in the process at the time of power-on, since the process of detecting the inner frame open switch 208g1 becomes unnecessary, the process of the detection process is not executed, so that the processing load of the main controller 110 can be reduced. .

As a result of the processing of S4408, if the setting key 501 is in the OFF state (S4408: NO), the RAM erase switch 122 is OFF and the setting key 501 is in the OFF state. means operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the setting confirmation flag 203x14 (see FIG. 61) is on (S4409). As a result, if the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON (S4409: Yes), it indicates that the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, that is, confirmation of the probability setting value by the setting confirmation process. indicates that the power has been cut off during In this case, as shown in FIG. 62, the setting confirmation process is executed from the beginning (S4410). The currently set probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 by the setting confirmation process. Thereby, the probability setting value can be confirmed.

In this way, even if the person involved in the hall performs the start-up operation for starting up in the normal mode as the start-up operation, the pachinko machine 10 is not started up in the normal mode, but the setting confirmation process is started from the beginning ( Start up the pachinko machine 10 in a setting confirmation mode for redoing (from scratch). As a result, even if a person involved in the hall or the like starts up the apparatus by operating in the normal mode after the power is turned off during setting confirmation, the probability setting value can be confirmed. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 can be started up without anxiety because the persons concerned with the hall can confirm that the probability set value is not destroyed by the power cutoff during the confirmation of the setting.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting confirmation flag 203x14 (see FIG. 61) is off as a result of the processing of S4409 (S4409: No), the setting confirmation processing was not being executed when the power was turned off last time. means that The process of S4409 is executed when it is determined in the process of S4406 that the setting change flag 203x13 (see FIG. 61) is off (S4406: No), that is, when the power was turned off last time. This is also the case when the setting change process was not being executed at that time.

Therefore, in this case, the start-up mode is set to the normal mode indicated by the start-up operation by the person concerned with the hall, etc., and the setting confirmation process of S4410 and the process of S4411, which will be described later, are skipped, and other start-up processes are executed. After that (S4414), the process proceeds to the main process. As for other start-up processing, a 4-millisecond timer interrupt is permitted. In the tenth embodiment, similarly to the eighth embodiment, timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 58) for main control of the game is executed with a 4 millisecond timer interrupt generated every 4 milliseconds as a trigger. By permitting the 4 millisecond timer interrupt in the processing of S4414, the timer interrupt processing is executed every 4 milliseconds.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is on as a result of the process of S4408 (S4408: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is on. means that the startup operation was performed in the setting confirmation mode. Here, the process of S4408 is executed when it is determined in the process of S4406 that the setting changing flag 203x13 (see FIG. 61) is off (S4406: No), that is, when the power was turned off last time. Sometimes the configuration change process was not in progress. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 62, regardless of whether or not the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, the pachinko machine 10 is operated in the setting confirmation mode started up by the person concerned with the hall. In order to start up, the process proceeds to S4410, and the setting confirmation process is executed (S4410). The currently set probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401 by the setting confirmation process. Thereby, the probability setting value can be confirmed.

When the setting confirmation process (S4410) ends, the external output process is executed (S4411). In this external output process, information indicating that the setting confirmation process has been executed or that the probability setting value has been displayed on the base display device 401 is output to the hall computer 600 via the external output terminal 503 . Thus, the persons involved in the hall can understand that the pachinko machine 10 has executed the setting confirmation process and the probability setting value has been displayed on the base display device 401 . Therefore, when the probability setting value is displayed illegally, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, other start-up processes are executed (S4421), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on in the processing of S4407, which is the processing for confirming the start-up operation performed when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by the hall personnel, etc. ( S4407: Yes), and furthermore, in order to confirm the activation operation, it is determined whether or not the setting key 501 is in the ON state (S4412). In the tenth embodiment, in this S4412, it is configured not to detect the inner frame open switch 208g1. Therefore, in the process at the time of power-on, since the process of detecting the inner frame open switch 208g1 becomes unnecessary, the process of the detection process is not executed, so that the processing load of the main controller 110 can be reduced. .

As a result of the processing of S4412, if the setting key 501 is on (S4412: Yes), the RAM erase switch 122 is on and the setting key 501 is on. It means that you have performed an up operation. When the startup operation is performed in the setting change mode, as shown in FIG. 62, regardless of whether the setting confirmation flag 203x14 (see FIG. 61) is on or not, that is, when the power was turned off last time, the setting confirmation process is executed. The start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is set as the setting change mode regardless of whether or not it is being executed.

Therefore, if the setting key 501 is in the ON state as a result of the process of S4412 (S4412: Yes), the setting change process is executed (S4413). By the setting change processing, the probability setting value is displayed on the base display device 401, and when the RAM erasing switch 122 is turned on by a hall official or the like, the probability setting value is updated, and when the setting key 501 is turned off. , the updated probability set value is determined as the probability set value to be used in the game from now on, and RAM clear processing is performed. Thereby, after changing the probability setting value, the game machine can be newly started with the probability setting value after the change.

Here, even if the setting confirmation process was in progress when the power was turned off last time, turning on the setting key 501 and turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 means that the hall personnel etc. clearly indicate the intention to change the probability set value. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode, it is possible to perform the start-up process according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

When the setting change process (S4413) ends, the external output process is executed (S4414). In this external output process, information indicating that the setting change process has been executed or that the probability setting value has been changed is output to hall computer 600 via external output terminal 503 . As a result, the persons involved in the hall can grasp that the setting change process has been executed in the pachinko machine 10 and the probability setting value has been changed. Therefore, when the probability set value is illegally changed, it can be grasped quickly. After the external output process is executed, other start-up processes are executed (S4421), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S4412, if the setting key 501 is in the OFF state (S4412: No), it is then checked whether the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 (see FIG. 61) is ON or not. It is determined whether or not (S4415). Here, the processing of S4407 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4407: Yes), the processing of S4412 determines that the setting key 501 is off (S4412: No), and the processing of S4415 is performed. If executed, the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 is always off, so it is determined that there is no RAM abnormality in the processing of S4415 (S4415: No).

Also, in this case, since it is determined in the process of S4406 that the setting change flag 203x13 (see FIG. 61) is off (S4406: No), the setting change process is being executed when the power was turned off last time. This is the case when it was not. Therefore, the processing of S4407 determines that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4407: Yes), the processing of S4412 determines that the setting key 501 is off (S4412: No), and the processing of S4415 determines that the RAM is abnormal. If it is determined that it is not (S4415: No), it means that the staff involved in the hall has started up in the RAM clear mode. A pachinko machine 10 is started up in a RAM clear mode regardless of whether or not setting confirmation processing was being executed when the power was cut off last time. Therefore, RAM clear processing is executed (S4416).

In this RAM clearing process, out of the data stored in the RAM 203, predetermined data) is erased (cleared), while the character product ratio data 203s, the base value data 203r, and the error data 203t (both see FIG. 53) stored in the outer work area 203y1 (see FIG. 53) are Keep without erasing. A new game can be started by erasing the data used for game control (predetermined data excluding the probability set value data 203x11 stored in the inner work area 203x1). Also, even if the RAM clearing process is executed, the probability set value data 203x11 is held, so the game can be continued with the probability set value determined before the RAM clearing process is executed.

Here, as described above, even if the setting confirmation process was being executed when the power was turned off last time, if there is no RAM abnormality and the start-up operation for starting in the RAM clear mode is performed. , the pachinko machine 10 is started in the RAM clear mode according to the start-up operation of the person involved in the hall. Turning on the RAM erase switch 122 indicates at least a clear intention of the persons involved in the hall to clear the RAM. Therefore, in this case, by starting up the pachinko machine 10 in the RAM clear mode, it is possible to perform the start-up processing according to the will of the persons involved in the hall.

When the RAM clearing process of S4416 ends, other start-up processes are executed (S4421), and the process shifts to the main process.

On the other hand, if it is determined by the processing of S4403 that the power failure occurrence information is not stored in the RAM 203 (S4403: No), the processing of S4404 changes the calculated RAM determination value to the RAM determination value saved when the power was shut off. If they do not match and it is determined that the RAM determination value is abnormal (S4404: No), or if it is determined by the process of S4405 that the probability setting value is not within the normal range (S4405: No) If any of the above applies, it can be determined that there is an abnormality in the RAM 203, so the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 (see FIG. 61) is turned on (S4417). , the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on (S4418). Also in the processing of S4418, the state of the RAM erase switch 122 is read by directly accessing the input/output port 205 as in the processing of S4407.

As a result of the process of S4418, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on (S4418: Yes), the process proceeds to the above-described S4412, and whether or not the setting key 501 is on is determined. It judges (S4412). As a result, if the setting key 501 is in the ON state (S4412: Yes), it means that the person involved in the hall or the like has performed the start-up operation in the setting change mode. Then, in this case (S4412: Yes), in order to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode according to the start-up operation of the hall staff, etc., the process proceeds to S4413 and the above-described setting change processing is executed.

Here, even if a RAM abnormality occurs, if the pachinko machine 10 is started in the setting change mode, the probability setting value can be set again and the RAM can be cleared. Therefore, a new game can be started with a newly set normal probability set value. By this RAM clearing, the RAM abnormality flag 203x15 (see FIG. 61) is turned off. Therefore, after that, main controller 110 can control the game without executing the processing related to the RAM abnormality.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is off as a result of the processing of S4418 (S4418: No), or even if it is determined that the RAM erase switch 122 is on as a result of the processing of S4418, S4412 If it is determined that the setting key 501 is in the off state (S4418: Yes or S4412: No) as a result of the processing of 1. above, the hall staff and the like can operate the normal mode, the RAM clear mode, and the setting mode in the RAM abnormality. It means that the startup operation was performed in one of the confirmation modes.

In this case, the process proceeds to the above-described S4415, and it is always determined that the RAM is abnormal in the process of S4415 (S4415: Yes), and the process proceeds to S4419. In the processing of S4419, RAM abnormality setting processing is performed (S4419). In this RAM abnormality setting process, a process for notifying RAM abnormality is executed. For example, once the power is turned off, the notification prompting to start up the pachinko machine 10 in the setting change mode is performed by voice output from the voice output device 226 and / or display on the third symbol display device 81, so that the voice lamp A command is transmitted to the control device 113 .

Then, it executes an external output process for notifying the hall computer 600 of the RAM abnormality via the external output terminal 503 (S4420), executes other start-up processes (S4421), and shifts to the main process. do. Since the RAM abnormality is notified to the hall computer 600, the persons involved in the hall can surely grasp the occurrence of the RAM abnormality without noticing the notification from the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment, while adopting the protective cover member 140 in the ninth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the door opening switch 208g is opened. The start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 is determined according to two detection states of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 regardless of the detection result of the frame open switch 208g1. By configuring in this way, the protective cover member 140 prevents fraudulent acts on the setting keys 501 from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 when the inner frame 12 is closed, while opening the inner frame open switch 208g1 when the inner frame 12 is opened. Regardless of the reliability, it is possible to change settings, etc., which are important game elements of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加Therefore, the security performance of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved, and the business form assumed by the hall can be reliably executed.

In addition, in the start-up process at the time of power-on, since the process of detecting the inner frame open switch 208g1 is unnecessary, the processing of the detection process is not executed, so that the processing load of the main controller 110 can be reduced. can be done.

As described above, the configuration mentioned in the description of the tenth embodiment provides the effects described above. In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to ninth embodiments can produce the same effect as that of the configuration.

<Eleventh Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to an eleventh embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 79 to 81. FIG. In the tenth embodiment, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, regardless of the detection mode of the inner frame open switch 208g1, depending on the state of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 determined the launch mode.

On the other hand, in the eleventh embodiment, a front frame open switch 208g2 that detects the opening of the front frame 14 is provided, and the inner frame open switch 208g1 detects the opening of the inner frame 12 (that is, ON detection). In addition, when the front frame open switch 208g2 detects the closing of the front frame 14 (that is, off detection), the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is activated. On the other hand, when the inner frame open switch 208g1 detects the closing of the inner frame 12 (that is, off detection), or even when the inner frame open switch 208g1 detects the opening of the inner frame 12, the front surface When the frame open switch 208g2 detects the opening of the front frame 14 (that is, ON detection), the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is not activated, and the normal mode is activated.

Conventionally, when the pachinko machine 10 is easily shifted to a state where settings can be changed and settings can be confirmed, it is impossible to eliminate the possibility of unauthorized setting changes and settings confirmation. It is desirable to implement multi-step security measures for the pachinko machine 10 so as not to migrate.

On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is to be maintained by a person concerned with the pachinko machine, the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are both released from the outer frame 11, and the maintenance work is carried out by the hall personnel who have the authority to change or confirm the settings. This is generally done by a hall employee who does not have the authority to change or confirm settings, rather than the person in charge.

Here, if an employee of the hall who does not have the authority to change or confirm the settings enters the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode during maintenance work, the employee may be able to communicate with an unauthorized outside person. , there is a risk that information on the setting status of the pachinko machine 10 may be leaked to the unauthorized person.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment, during maintenance work when both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are open, setting change or setting confirmation cannot be performed. The security performance of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved by making it difficult for an employee who does not have access to change the settings.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the eleventh embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to tenth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the first to tenth embodiments are used for the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to tenth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

First, with reference to FIG. 79, each start-up mode when the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment is powered on will be described. FIG. 79 shows the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 in the eleventh embodiment, and the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on to start up in each start-up mode for each start-up mode. , and information of each of the inner frame open switch 208g1 and the front frame open switch 208g2.

As with the pachinko machine 10 of the tenth embodiment, the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment includes four modes of normal mode, RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode. ing. The RAM clear mode is a mode for erasing (clearing) data stored in the RAM 203 in order to restore the pachinko machine 10 to its initial state. The setting change mode is a mode for changing the set probability setting value. The setting confirmation mode is a mode for confirming the set probability setting value.

The normal mode is a startup mode other than the RAM clear mode, setting change mode, and setting confirmation mode. This is a mode for restarting the game of the pachinko machine 10 from the state before power-off by executing various start-up processes while holding the data stored in the RAM 203 except for .

Then, without turning on the RAM erasing switch 122 and with the setting key 501 turned off, when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the detection mode of the inner frame opening switch 208g1 and the front frame opening switch 208g2 is detected. Regardless, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the normal mode. Also, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on by turning on the RAM erase switch 122 while the setting key 501 is in the OFF state, the pachinko machine 10 rises in RAM clear mode.

In addition, in the eleventh embodiment, even if the setting key 501 is turned on, this normal mode may be set based on the detection mode of the inner frame open switch 208g1 or the front frame open switch 208g2. be.

Specifically, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, even if both the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 are on, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not on, or the front frame open switch 208g2 is off. If not, that is, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is off, even if the inner frame open switch 208g1 is on, if the front frame open switch 208g2 is on, the normal mode is started instead of the setting change mode is configured as

Also, when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the RAM erase switch 122 is off, and even if the setting key 501 is on, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not on, or the front frame open switch 208g2 is If it is not off, that is, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is off, even if the inner frame open switch 208g1 is on, if the front frame open switch 208g2 is on, instead of the setting confirmation mode, the normal mode is configured to stand up.

Conventionally, when a hall official or the like performs maintenance work on the pachinko machine 10, both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are released from the outer frame 11, and the settings are changed, not by the person in charge of the hall who changes or confirms the settings. This is generally done by hall employees who do not have the authority to confirm or confirm settings. That is, during the maintenance work of the pachinko machine 10, the inner frame opening switch 208g1 is turned on, and the front frame opening switch 208g2 is turned on.

Here, if an employee of the hall who does not have the authority to change or confirm the settings enters the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode during maintenance work, the employee may be able to communicate with an unauthorized outside person. , there is a risk that information on the setting status of the pachinko machine 10 may be leaked to the unauthorized person.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment, during maintenance work when both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are open, that is, when both the inner frame open switch 208g1 and the front frame open switch 208g2 are on , setting change or setting confirmation cannot be performed. By configuring in this way, it is difficult for an employee who does not have the authority to change the settings to change or confirm the settings, so that the security performance of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Next, while the setting key 501 is turned on, the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 10, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on, and the front frame open switch 208g2 is turned off. On the condition that there is, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting change mode. When the setting key 501 is turned on and the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is turned off, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on and the front frame open switch 208g2 is turned off. On this condition, the pachinko machine 10 starts up in the setting confirmation mode.

Thus, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, after the setting key 501 is turned off, the pachinko machine 10 can be turned on according to whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. As the start-up mode, it is possible to select a RAM clear mode, which is a start-up mode unrelated to the set probability value, or a normal mode.

On the other hand, when turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10, if the setting key 501 is turned on on the condition that only the inner frame opening switch 208g1 is turned on, hall officials and the like can turn on the RAM erase switch 122. Depending on whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, a setting change mode related to the probability setting value or a setting confirmation mode can be selected as the start-up mode of the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁

That is, first, depending on whether the setting key 501 is turned off or on, it is possible to select a start-up mode unrelated to the probability set value and a start-up mode related to the probability set value. Then, when setting the startup mode regardless of the probability setting value, regardless of the detection mode of the inner frame open switch 208g1 and the front frame open switch 208g2, depending on whether the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on, that While it is possible to select whether the start-up mode is the RAM clear mode or the normal mode, when setting the start-up mode related to the probability setting value, the RAM Depending on whether or not the erase switch 122 is turned on, it is possible to select whether the start-up mode is the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode.

Next, with reference to FIG. 80, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment will be described. FIG. 80 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 in the eleventh embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 80, the input/output port 205 of the main controller 110 of the eleventh embodiment is connected with a front frame open switch 208g2 as the door open switch 208g in addition to the inner frame open switch 208g1. This front frame open switch 208g2 is for detecting whether or not the front frame 14 is opened with respect to the inner frame 12. The front projecting piece (not shown) projecting from the upper rear side of the front frame 14 ), a front elastic body (not shown) for applying an elastic force such as a spring to the front projecting piece, and a front detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the position of the front projecting piece. When the front frame open switch 208g2 is closed, the front projecting piece of the front frame open switch 208g2 is pressed against the upper part of the inner frame 12, and is retracted into the front frame 14 because the force of the cylinder lock 20 is stronger than the elastic force of the front elastic body. On the other hand, when a special key is inserted into the cylinder lock 20 and turned in a second direction different from the first direction (for example, counterclockwise), the front frame 14 is released from the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 When the door is opened, the front projecting piece projects toward the inner frame 12 due to the elastic force of the front elastic body. Then, when the front detection sensor detects the protrusion of the front projecting piece, the front frame open switch 208g2 is turned on, and a front frame open signal is output.

The detection result of the front frame open switch 208 g 2 (that is, the presence or absence of the front frame open signal) is input to the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 via the input/output port 205 . In this case, the front frame open switch 208 g 2 is not determined to be ON when the front frame 14 is closed with respect to the inner frame 12 and does not output the front frame open signal to the MPU 201 . On the other hand, the front frame open switch 208g2 is determined to be ON when the front frame 14 is in the open state with respect to the inner frame 12, and outputs a front frame open signal to the MPU201. The MPU 201 specifies that the front frame 14 is open when the front frame open signal is input from the front frame open switch 208g2, and when the front frame open signal is not input, the front frame 14 is closed. state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 81, startup processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 in the eleventh embodiment is turned on will be described. FIG. 81 is a flow chart showing this start-up process. This start-up process is started by a reset when the power is turned on.

Regarding the start-up process of the eleventh embodiment, the difference from the start-up process of the tenth embodiment is that when the RAM erase switch 122 is off and the setting key 501 is on, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is On the condition that the front frame open switch 208g2 is off, the setting confirmation process (S4410) is executed, the RAM erase switch 122 is on, and the setting key 501 is on. In some cases, that the inner frame open switch 208g1 is on, and, on condition that the front frame open switch 208g2 is off, to execute the setting change process (S4413), the inner frame open switch 208g1 and In the confirmation process of the front frame open switch 208g2, if the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not on, or if the front frame open switch 208g2 is not off even if the inner frame open switch 208g1 is on (that is, if it is on) 2) Start up in normal mode without starting up in setting confirmation mode or setting change mode.

In the start-up process of the eleventh embodiment, when it is determined that the setting key 501 is not ON in S4408 (S4408: No) and the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is ON. If it is determined that there is no memory (SS4409: No), the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting key 501 are both turned off and the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on. .

On the other hand, in the process of S4408, if it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned on (S4408: Yes), or even if it is determined that the setting key 501 is turned off (S4408: No). ), if it is determined that the setting confirmation flag 203x14 is turned on (S4409: Yes), the RAM erasing switch 122 is not turned on and the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the setting key 501 turned on. Since it is turned on, the process proceeds to S4451 in order to confirm whether or not the setting confirmation process (S4410) can be executed, that is, whether or not it is maintenance work.

In the processing of S4451, it is determined whether or not the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on (S4451). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on (S4451: Yes), that is, if it is determined that the inner frame 12 is open, then the front frame open switch 208g2 is It is determined whether or not it is off (S4452). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the front frame open switch 208g2 is off (S4452: Yes), that is, when it is determined that the front frame 14 is in the closed state, the person in charge of the hall who has the setting confirmation authority It is assumed that the pachinko machine 10 has been powered on, and the process proceeds to S4410 to execute the setting confirmation process (S4410).

On the other hand, in the process of S4451, if it is determined that the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not turned on (S4451: No), that is, if it is determined that the inner frame 12 is closed, the outer frame 11 In this state, the inner frame 12 is closed, and there is a possibility of fraudulent activity from the back side of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, the setting confirmation process (S4410) is not executed, the process proceeds to S4421, and the normal operation is performed. mode.

Also, in the process of S4452, if it is determined that the front frame open switch 208g2 is not turned off (S4452: No), that is, the inner frame 12 is in the open state and the front frame 14 is determined to be in the open state. If so, there is a high probability that the pachinko machine 10 is being maintained, so the setting confirmation process (S4410) is not executed, and the process proceeds to S4421 to start up in the normal mode.

Next, in the processing of S4406, if it is determined that the setting change flag 203x13 is on (S4406: Yes), or if it is determined that the setting key 501 is on in the processing of S4412, the RAM erase switch 122 is turned on. This means that the pachinko machine 10 has been turned on with the setting key 501 turned on, so whether the setting change process (S4413) can be executed, that is, whether it is not during maintenance work. The process proceeds to S4453 in order to confirm whether

In the process of S4453, similarly to the process of S4451, it is determined whether or not the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on (S4453). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the inner frame open switch 208g1 is turned on (S4453: Yes), that is, if it is determined that the inner frame 12 is in the open state, then the front frame open switch 208g2 is It is determined whether or not it is off (S4454). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the front frame open switch 208g2 is off (S4454: Yes), that is, if it is determined that the front frame 14 is in the closed state, the person in charge of the hall who has the setting confirmation authority It is assumed that the pachinko machine 10 has been powered on, and the process proceeds to S4413 to execute the setting change process (S4413).

On the other hand, in the process of S4453, if it is determined that the inner frame open switch 208g1 is not turned on (S4453: No), that is, if it is determined that the inner frame 12 is closed, the outer frame 11 In this state, the inner frame 12 is closed, and there is a possibility of fraudulent activity from the back side of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, the setting change processing (S4413) is not executed, and the processing proceeds to S4421, and the normal operation is performed. mode.

Further, in the process of S4454, if it is determined that the front frame open switch 208g2 is not turned off (S4454: No), that is, the inner frame 12 is in the open state and the front frame 14 is determined to be in the open state. If so, there is a high probability that it is maintenance work for the pachinko machine 10, so the setting change process (S4413) is not executed, and the process proceeds to S4421 to start up in the normal mode.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the eleventh embodiment, the situation in which only the inner frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11, that is, the inner frame open switch 208g1 is on and the front frame In a situation where the open switch 208g2 is off, setting change or setting confirmation work can be performed. When both 208g1 and the front frame open switch 208g2 are on, it is configured such that setting change or setting confirmation cannot be performed. Therefore, during maintenance work when both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are open, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the setting change mode or the setting confirmation mode is not started, but the normal mode is started. By configuring in this way, it is difficult for an employee who does not have the authority to change the settings to change or confirm the settings, so that the security performance of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

As described above, the configuration referred to in the description of the eleventh embodiment provides the effects described above. In addition, the same configuration as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to tenth embodiments can produce the same effect as that of the configuration.

<Twelfth Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a twelfth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 82 and 83. FIG. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the ninth embodiment, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the protective cover member 140 attached to the outer frame 11 covers the setting keys 501 and the sealing unit 100c of the main controller 110, and when the inner frame 12 is closed, The setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c are configured so that they cannot be operated directly.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the twelfth embodiment, the protective cover member 140 extends to the left side of the front view (that is, the right side of the back view) to cover the connector attachment portion 100h of the main control device 110, and the payout It extends downward in front view to a portion covering the sealing portion 111a of the control device 111 . That is, in addition to the setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c of the main control device 110, the connector attachment portion 100h of the main control device 110 and the sealing portion 111a of the dispensing control device 111 are covered with the protective cover member 140. .

With this configuration, when the inner frame 12 is closed, in addition to the setting key 501 of the main control device 110 and the sealing unit 100c, the connectors used for communicating control signals to the control devices 111, 113, etc. Direct operation from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be made impossible for parts related to game specifications, such as the landing part 100h and the sealing part 111a of the payout control device 111 that manages the payout of prize balls and rental balls. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the security performance on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the twelfth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to eleventh embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the twelfth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to eleventh embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first to eleventh embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

Here, the configuration of the protective cover member 140 in the pachinko machine 10 of the twelfth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 82 and 83. FIG. 82 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 in the twelfth embodiment, and FIG. 83 is a right side view of the pachinko machine 10 in the twelfth embodiment. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 82 shows a state in which the front frame 14 is removed from the outer frame 11 and the inner frame 12, and FIG. 83 shows a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are removed from the outer frame 11. are illustrated, and their description is also omitted.

The pachinko machine 10 of the twelfth embodiment differs from the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment in that the cover plate 171 of the protective cover member 140 is connected to the connector attachment portion 100h of the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111. The point that covers the back side of the pachinko machine 10 with the sealing portion 111a, and the upright cover wall 161 and the upright lower cover portion 163 of the protective cover member 140 are located on the right side of the seal portion 111a of the payout control device 111 (left side in the back view). ), and the positions of the lower cover mounting hole 11f of the right side plate 11d and the lower mounting hole 153 of the cover mounting portion 150 are slightly lower than in the ninth embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the ninth embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the upright cover wall 161 of the protective cover member 140 of the twelfth embodiment extends continuously downward from the curved portion 154 of the cover mounting portion 150 that is longer than that of the ninth embodiment. It extends toward the rear side of the machine 10 (see FIG. 83). The upright cover wall 161 covers the right side of the main controller 110 in front view (left side in back view) and the right side of the payout control device 111 in front view (left side in back view). Therefore, directly from the right side of the pachinko machine 10 provided with the setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c of the main control device 110 and the sealing portion 111a of the payout control device 111 (left side when viewed from the back), Since the part cannot be touched, fraudulent acts from the right side of the pachinko machine 10 when viewed from the front can be prevented.

The upright lower cover portion (not shown) of the twelfth embodiment is composed of a lower inner cover portion (not shown) and a lower outer cover portion (not shown). This lower inner cover part extends horizontally from the entire lower part of the upright cover wall 161 and the entire lower part of the cover plate 171 toward the inside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111 are arranged). It is formed extending in the direction. The lower outer cover portion extends horizontally from the entire lower portion of the standing cover wall 161 toward the outside of the pachinko machine 10 (the direction in which the main control device 110 and the payout control device 111 are not arranged). there is

This lower inner cover portion (not shown) has a wider area than the upper inner cover portion (not shown), as in the ninth embodiment. This is because the main control device 110 and the payout control device 111, especially the payout control device 111, are located closer to the lower side of the pachinko machine 10, and the main control is performed from the lower side rather than the upper side of the pachinko machine 10. Since it is easy to access the device 110 or the payout control device 111, in many cases, a person who cheats on the main control device 110 or the payout control device 111 inserts a wire or the like from the lower back side of the pachinko machine 10. to commit fraud. Therefore, in order to prevent the fraudulent act described above, the area of the lower inner cover portion is widened, and the lower inner cover portion 163a controls the payout control at the lower right side (lower left side when viewed from the back) of the payout control device 111. The gap between the device 111 and the protective cover member 140 is designed to be as small as possible.

By forming the lower inner cover portion (not shown) in this way, the main control device 110 and the payout control device 111, in particular, the lower right side of the payout control device 111 in front view (lower left side in back view) are covered, It is possible to prevent fraudulent actions from the lower right side in front view (lower left side in back view) of the payout control device 111 provided with the sealing portion 111a or the main control device 110 provided with the setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c. .

Next, the cover plate 171 of the twelfth embodiment is formed from the upright portion 160 (upright cover wall 161, upright upper cover portion 162, upright lower cover portion 163, and upright inner rib 164 (see FIG. 68)). The plate surfaces face the front and rear directions of the pachinko machine 10, and extend to cover the setting portion 100d of the main controller 110 and the connector attachment portion 100h of the main controller 110 (see FIG. 82). Further, the plate surface of the cover plate 171 covers the RAM erase switch 122 provided on the power supply device 115 . Thus, by covering the devices 501, 100c, 122, 111a that may affect game specifications with the protective cover member 140, the security performance on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved. Note that the cover plate 171 of the twelfth embodiment is formed so as not to cover the base display device 401 and the error display button 502 . Since the cover plate 171 is transparent, the visibility of the back surface and the like is not reduced, so from the viewpoint of the security of the main controller 110 as a whole, the base display device 401 and/or the error display button 502 may be covered. .

A cover outer rib 174 formed on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 of the cover plate 171 is formed so as to protrude from a portion corresponding to the setting key 501 and a portion corresponding to the RAM erase switch 122 . By configuring in this way, it is possible to make it difficult to drill a hole or the like in the cover plate 171, and the security performance on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

In addition, the upper protrusion (not shown) of the cover plate 171 of the twelfth embodiment is formed to protrude in the front direction of the pachinko machine 10 in a rib shape, and the lower protrusion (not shown) of the back pack 92 of the back pack unit 94 is formed. ) may be formed to protrude in the direction of the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 in the form of ribs. Further, by configuring the lower side surface of the upper protrusion and the upper side surface of the lower protrusion to contact each other, even when the protective cover member 140 is attached to the outer frame 11, the upper protrusion of the protective cover member 140 can be maintained. The back pack 92 mounted on the inner frame 12 can be closed without interference between the part and the lower side protrusion of the back pack 92, and the upper side surface of the lower side protrusion and the lower side surface of the upper side protrusion abut. By doing so, the gap between the back pack 92 and the protective cover member 140 can be eliminated, and the main controller 110 cannot be contacted from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 using a wire or the like. Therefore, fraud from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be prevented. In addition, since the back pack 92 is attached to the inner frame 12 in the form of a fixed beam with one end and the other end of the back pack 92 fixed to each other, the back pack 92 is attached to the outer frame 11 like a cantilever beam. Even if an impact is applied to the protective cover member 140 from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, the rigidity of the protective cover member 140 is compensated by the back pack 92 attached to the inner frame 12 in the form of a beam fixed at both ends. can do. Therefore, even if an impact or the like is applied from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to prevent the protective cover member 140 from being damaged.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the twelfth embodiment, the protective cover member 140 extends to the left side in the front view (that is, the right side in the back view) to cover the connector attachment portion 100h of the main control device 110. At the same time, it extends downward in front view to a portion covering the sealing portion 111a of the payout control device 111 . That is, in addition to the setting key 501 and the sealing unit 100c of the main control device 110, the connector attachment portion 100h of the main control device 110 and the sealing portion 111a of the dispensing control device 111 are covered with the protective cover member 140. . With this configuration, when the inner frame 12 is closed, in addition to the setting key 501 of the main control device 110 and the sealing unit 100c, the connectors used for communicating control signals to the control devices 111, 113, etc. Direct operation from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be made impossible for parts related to game specifications, such as the landing part 100h and the sealing part 111a of the payout control device 111 that manages the payout of prize balls and rental balls. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the security performance on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved with a simple configuration using one member.

<Thirteenth Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a thirteenth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 84 to 113. FIG.

In gaming machines such as conventional pachinko machines, the ratio of the number of balls (number of payout balls (safe balls) divided by the number of out balls) obtained when a player continuously plays the game on the pachinko machine. So-called machine division (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout rate") is provided in a plurality of stages, and any one of the set values corresponding to the ball payout rate desired by a hall official or the like is set. After the machine is powered on and before the player starts playing (before the game hall opens), there is one that can be changed (updated) by a person involved in the hall. Then, when a player plays a game on the pachinko machine, a winning lottery is performed based on the set value so that the player can play the game with a ball payout rate according to the set value. becomes possible.

Specifically, for example, in a pachinko machine capable of executing a jackpot game with a high game value and a small win game with a lower game value than the jackpot game, a jackpot random number table 272a different for each set value is provided in advance. It is In this jackpot random number table 272a, the number of jackpot random numbers corresponding to the jackpot game, the number of small hit random numbers corresponding to the small jackpot game, and the losing random number corresponding to the losing that none of the variable winning devices 65 and 72 are opened. The number of numbers (hereafter, the jackpot random number, the small winning random number, and the losing random number may be collectively referred to as "each random number") is distributed (regulated) differently for each set value. . The higher the set value is, the more advantageous the player's payout rate becomes (for example, the larger the number of random number values for big hits).

Further, in a conventional pachinko machine, a first special symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "special figure 1") and a second special symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "special figure 2") are provided. , Each distribution of the number of jackpot random numbers, the number of small hit random numbers and the number of losing random numbers in special figure 1, and the number of jackpot random numbers, the number of small winning random numbers and the number of losing random numbers in special figure 2 are configured to be different from each distribution of . In such a configuration, by varying the distribution of the number of random numbers for each set value and also varying the distribution of the number of random numbers for each special symbol, various game characteristics are provided for each set value. It is possible to create and improve the interest of the game.

Furthermore, in the conventional pachinko machine, the variable display based on the lottery game of the special figure 1 and the variable display based on the lottery game of the special figure 2 are executed simultaneously and in parallel in the special symbol display device 39, and each special symbol is displayed. There is one that is configured so that the variable display based on it can proceed simultaneously (so-called simultaneous variator).

Here, the pachinko machine described above has a "normal game state" (or a "time reduction state") in which the special symbol jackpot probability is low and the jackpot game is unlikely to occur as game specifications related to each special symbol. , "probability fluctuation state" is provided in which the probability of a big hit of a special pattern is high, and a big win game is more likely to occur than in the "normal game state".

In order to realize this "probability fluctuation state", it is necessary to provide a larger number of jackpot random numbers in the "probability fluctuation state" than in the "normal game state", but the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 has an upper limit (for example, " 0 to 9999”) are provided, and the number of each random number must be distributed within that range.

In addition, in order to install a pachinko machine in a game hall, it is necessary to pass a certification test conducted by the competent authority and obtain approval that the pachinko machine is within the prescribed range. For this reason, in order to pass the certification test and receive approval, the pachinko machine developer has a ball output rate that can be certified by the certification test at all setting values of the pachinko machine when designing the game specifications. As such, the number of jackpot random numbers and the number of small hit random numbers in the jackpot random number table 272a must be distributed.

However, in a pachinko machine whose setting values can be changed, when increasing the number of jackpot random numbers in order to change from a low probability state of special symbols to a high probability state, the number of jackpot random numbers decreases as the number of jackpot random numbers increases. If the number of winning random numbers is changed by decreasing the number of winning random numbers, it becomes necessary to combine and calculate the ball output rate of the big winning game and the ball output rate of the small winning game for each set value. Calculation of the overall ball payout rate becomes complicated, and there is a possibility that the number of man-hours in designing the game specifications increases. In particular, in pachinko machines such as simultaneous variation machines, it is necessary to calculate the ball payout rate in consideration of the variation time of each special symbol that is played at the same time. In the case of performing complex calculations for each set value, there is a risk that the number of man-hours required in designing the game specifications will be enormous.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers from the low probability state to the high probability state of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set to the number of losing random numbers for all set values. Configure to compensate from Also, the number of small hit random numbers of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is configured not to change for each set value. That is, the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot accompanying the setting change and the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot accompanying the change from the low-probability state to the high-probability state for each setting are reduced to the number of the losing random numbers. Then, the decrement is compensated by assigning it to the jackpot random number value, and the numbers of the first special symbol and the second special symbol small winning random number value are the same for each first special symbol or second special symbol setting. . By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers, thereby reducing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications. can be suppressed.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the thirteenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to twelfth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to twelfth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first to twelfth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 84, the board configuration of the game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 84 is a front view of the game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10 in the thirteenth embodiment. The board configuration of the game board 13 of the thirteenth embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment mainly in that the top of the center frame 86 of the variable display unit 80 is slightly biased to the right in front view, which is called left-handed. The board configuration allows a clear difference between the game and the right-handed game, the through gate 67 is arranged only on the right side of the board, and the variable winning device 65 is arranged on the right side of the board. , The normal symbol 64c is arranged on the right side of the board surface and is composed of a retractable opening and closing plate, and the second start port 64b corresponding to the special figure 2 is downstream of the normal electrode 64c. It is arranged, and a second variable prize winning device 72 having a small prize winning port 72a is newly provided. Other configurations and functions are the same or substantially the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 84, the game board 13 of the thirteenth embodiment has a wooden base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, a large number of nails, pinwheels and rails 61 and 62 for guiding the balls, and general prizes. A port 63, a first start port 64a, a second start port 64b, a normal electric circuit 64c, a variable winning device 65, a through gate 67, a second variable winning device 72, a variable display device unit 80, etc. are assembled.

The general prize winning port 63, the first starting port 64a, the second starting port 64b, the normal electric part 64c, the variable winning device 65, the through gate 67, the second variable winning device 72, and the variable display device unit 80 are made by router processing. It is arranged in a through hole formed in 60 and fixed from the front side of the game board 13 by a wood screw or the like. Also, the front center portion of the game board 13 can be visually recognized from the front side of the inner frame 12 through the window portion 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. As shown in FIG.

A special symbol display device 39 provided with a state LED group 39a and a special LED group 39b composed of a plurality of LEDs, which are light emitting means, is arranged in the upper right part of the game area when viewed from the front (upper right part in FIG. 84). It is The special symbol display device 39 displays each variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to each control performed by the main controller 110 (see FIG. 85) described later (hereinafter, the variable display of both special symbols is referred to as " "dynamic display") is performed, and the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is displayed.

The status LED group 39a displays the number of held balls, which is the number of balls (held balls) for which variable display has not been performed, among the balls that have won (entered) a first start port 64a or a second start port 64b, which will be described later. This is indicated by the lighting state. In addition, the number of rounds of the jackpot and an error display are also indicated by the lighting state of the state LED group 39a corresponding to the state. The status LED group 39a is configured so that each LED has a different emission color (for example, red, green, and blue), and the combinations of the emission colors suggest various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. be able to.

In addition, the "round" in the big win refers to the period from opening to closing of the big winning hole 65a, which will be described later, in order to separate the number of prize balls for the big win. One "round" is executed when "30 seconds" have passed since the start of opening of the winning opening 65a, or when 10 balls win during the opening of the big winning opening 65a.

The special LED group 39b is composed of a total of 12 LEDs, an upper LED group 39b1 composed of 6 LEDs and a lower LED group 39b2 composed of 6 LEDs. The upper LED group 39b1 dynamically displays the first special symbol indicating the determination result of the first lottery game. In addition, the lower LED group 39b2 dynamically displays the second special symbol indicating the determination result of the second lottery game.

Specifically, the upper LED group 39b1 displays a dynamic After displaying (in the thirteenth embodiment, the LEDs from the uppermost LED in the upper LED group 39b1 to the lower LED are sequentially lit one by one, and the lighting pattern is repeatedly displayed), a pattern indicating the determination result (the thirteenth embodiment , any one of a total of 64 types of stop patterns is stopped and displayed by combining the lighting patterns of the six LEDs.

In addition, the lower LED group 39b2 displays dynamic display ( In the thirteenth embodiment, the lower LEDs of the lower LED group 39b2 are sequentially lit one by one from the uppermost LED, and the lighting pattern is repeatedly displayed), after which a pattern indicating the determination result (in the thirteenth embodiment, Any one of a total of 64 types of stop patterns is displayed by combining the lighting patterns of the six LEDs.

In any of the LED groups 39b1 and 39b2, when the judgment result is a loss, only the leftmost LED is lit and displayed, and when the judgment result is a jackpot, the type (type) of the jackpot is displayed. Each LED group is lit and displayed in a lighting pattern. The details of the stop pattern of each LED group will be described later.

The pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment is configured so that the dynamic display of the special figure 1 and the dynamic display of the special figure 2 can be executed simultaneously and in parallel in the special symbol display device 39 . Therefore, for example, in a state where the upper LED group 39b1 is fluctuating based on the winning of the ball to the first starting port 64a, when the ball enters the second starting port 64b, the lower LED group 39b2 Dynamic display of Toku-zu 2 is also started immediately.

In this pachinko machine 10, a hit or failure determination (jackpot lottery) is performed to determine whether or not a ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b is a big hit, and if it is determined to be a big hit in each hit or fail determination, , the jackpot type is also determined according to the winning prize openings 64a and 64b.

The jackpot type determined in the thirteenth embodiment corresponds to "16 rounds (hereinafter, the rounds may be simply referred to as "R") probability variable jackpot" based on the winning to the first start port 64a. "Probability variation A", "probability variation B" corresponding to the "6R probability variable jackpot", and "time reduction" corresponding to the "6R short time jackpot" are prepared (see FIG. 88(a)). In addition, based on the winning of the second start port 64b, "probability variation A" corresponding to "16R probability variation jackpot", "probability variation B" corresponding to "6R probability variation jackpot", and "6R short time jackpot" A corresponding "time reduction" is provided (see FIG. 88(b)).

Here, the "probability variation A" jackpot type corresponding to the "16R probability variable jackpot" is a state in which each special symbol has a higher probability than the "normal game state" after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 16 rounds. On the other hand, it is a jackpot that shifts to a game state in which normal symbols are in a low probability state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "super-probability fluctuation state"). In addition, the "probability variation B" jackpot type corresponding to the "6R probability variable jackpot" is that after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds, each special symbol is in a state with a high probability compared to the "normal game state". And, it is a jackpot that shifts to a game state (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "probability fluctuation state") in which normal symbols are also in a high probability state. Furthermore, the “time reduction” jackpot type corresponding to the “6R time saving jackpot” is that after the jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds, each special pattern is in a low probability state, while the normal pattern is in a high probability state. It is a jackpot that shifts to a game state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "time reduction state").

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the "normal game state" means a game state other than the "super-probability fluctuation state", the "probability fluctuation state" or the "time reduction state", and the jackpot probability of each special symbol. , and a state in which the winning probability of normal symbols is normal (that is, a low probability state) and that the normal electric 64c is opened for a short period of time (that is, a non-open extended state). That is, in the "normal game state", the jackpot probability of each special pattern is lower than in the "super probability fluctuation state" and "probability fluctuation state", and more normal than in the "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state". The winning probability of the symbol is low, and the opening time of the ordinary electric player 64c is also short. Details will be described later, but in this case, when a so-called right-handed game is played, the game state in which the ball is likely to enter the second starting port 64b (hereinafter, the state in which the ball is likely to enter the second starting port 64b is referred to as " This state is the most disadvantageous game state for the player.

It should be noted that the right-handed game refers to the act of shooting a ball with the force of hitting the return rubber 69 and passing the ball through the right side of the variable display unit 80 when viewed from the front. Balls can win through the through gate 67, the variable winning device 65, and the second starting port 64b, which are arranged on the right side. On the other hand, the left-handed game refers to the act of causing the shot ball to pass through the left side of the variable display unit 80 when viewed from the front, and the ball can enter the first starting port 64a. Hereinafter, when a right-handed game or a left-handed game is called, it means a state in which a ball is shot in the above-described shooting mode.

Next, the "time shortening state" is a state in which the probability of jackpot winning each special symbol is low like the "normal game state", but the probability of winning the normal symbol is increased, and the opening time of the normal electric role 64c. It means a state in which a so-called “time-saving function” that takes a long time is added. In other words, in the "shortened time state", although a big win by a special symbol is equivalent to that in the "normal game state", a win by a normal symbol is likely to be derived, and the open state of the normal electric combination 64c is lengthened. Therefore, in the "time shortening state", it becomes a so-called winning assist state, and almost all the balls fired by the right-handed game win to the second starting port 64b. Although details will be described later, in this case, it is possible to continuously execute the dynamic display of special figure 2, and to obtain a prize ball (for example, one / prize) based on the prize to the second start port 64b Therefore, it is possible to play a game while suppressing the decrease in the number of balls held.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the "time reduction state" is a prescribed number of times (50 times) is maintained until the dynamic display of special symbols is executed. After the dynamic display of the special symbols is executed for the specified number of times, the game is configured to shift from the "time reduction state" to the "normal game state".

Next, the ``probability fluctuation state'' is a high probability state in which the probability of jackpot winning for each special pattern is increased as an added value after the end of the jackpot, and the probability of winning for normal patterns is increased, and the normal electric role 64c. It refers to a game state in which the open time is also long (that is, extended open state). That is, the "probability fluctuation state" is a state in which a big win result by special symbols is likely to be derived, a win result by normal symbols is easily derived, and the open state of the normal electrode 64c is prolonged. Although details will be described later, in this case, in the "probability fluctuation state", it becomes a so-called winning auxiliary state, and almost all the balls fired by the right-handed game win the second start port 64b. The dynamic display can be continuously executed, and a game can be played while suppressing the reduction of the balls in possession by obtaining a prize ball (for example, 1 ball/winning prize) based on the winning to the second start port 64b. Furthermore, it is possible to play a game in a state where a big hit game (special game state) based on the dynamic display of the special figure 2 is likely to occur. In other words, in the "probability fluctuation state", almost all the balls fired by the right-handed game win the second starting port 64b, and are set not to flow down to the downstream side (that is, the second variable winning device 72 side). It's becoming

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, as the "probability fluctuation state", after the jackpot of the jackpot type "probability fluctuation B" (see FIG. 88), until the next jackpot game is started (so-called, until the next jackpot), A high probability state is maintained for both the jackpot probability of each special symbol and the probability of winning the normal symbol. That is, once the "probability fluctuation state" is entered, the "probability fluctuation state" continues until a jackpot game with each special symbol occurs.

Next, the "super-probability fluctuation state" is a high-probability state in which the jackpot probability of each special symbol is increased as an added value after the end of the jackpot, while the probability of winning the normal symbol is as low as the "normal game state". It is a game state in which the normal electric combination 64c is open for a short time while being in a probability state. That is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" is a state in which the jackpot result by the special pattern is easily derived, while the hit result by the normal pattern is more difficult to derive than the "time reduction state" and the "probability fluctuation state", and the ordinary telephone The opening time of the combination 64c is shorter than the "time reduction state" and the "probability change state". Although the details will be described later, in this case, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", a right-handed game is performed to pass the ball through the through gate 67, and when a winning is made in the variable display of normal symbols, the second start Although it is possible to execute the dynamic display of the special figure 2 by causing the ball to enter the mouth 64b, since the open state of the normal electric element 64c is for a short period of time, the ball rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c can be guided to the downstream side of the ordinary electric player 64c as it is.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, as the "super-probability fluctuation state", after the jackpot of the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A" (see FIG. 88), until the next jackpot game is started (so-called, until the next jackpot) , While the jackpot probability of each special symbol is in a high probability state, the winning probability of normal symbols is maintained in a low probability state. In other words, once the game enters into the "super-probability fluctuation state", the "super-probability fluctuation state" continues until a jackpot game with each special symbol occurs.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, a second variable prize winning device 72, which will be described later, will be opened for a short period of time when a small winning game, which will be described later, will be won, on the downstream side (lower right side of the board surface) of the normal electric combination 64c. are placed. Although details will be described later, in the "super probability fluctuation state", if you win a small hit game as a result of the dynamic display of the special figure 2, some balls fired by the right-handed game are the second start mouth Without winning 64b, it becomes possible to win to the small winning opening 72a of the second variable winning device 72.例文帳に追加Since the small winning opening 72a has a larger number of prize balls based on the winning than the second starting opening 64b (winning to the small winning opening 72a → 10 prize balls, winning to the second starting opening 64b → prize balls 1), by winning a small winning game in the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to win the ball to the small winning opening 72a instead of the second starting opening 64b, thereby increasing the number of balls held by the player. Become. Then, by setting (distribution) such that the small winning game is frequently won in the dynamic display of the special figure 2, it is possible to frequently pay out the prize balls by the small winning game in the "super-probability fluctuation state". . As a result, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to realize the game property of how to make the "super-probability fluctuation state" continue for a long time and win many balls in the small winning opening 72a.

By configuring in this way, first, in the "normal game state", a left-handed game is performed, and a jackpot game is won in the dynamic display of the special figure 1 to obtain a game value by the jackpot game, and then It is possible to realize a game property in which the game state is any of the accompanying "super-probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state", or "time reduction state" depending on the type of the jackpot. Then, in the "time shortening state", the right-handed game is performed, and the game property of whether or not to win the jackpot game in the dynamic display of the special figure 2 is realized while the winning assistance state is valid. can. In addition, in the "probability fluctuation state", a right-handed game is performed, and while maintaining the winning assistance state, it is possible to realize the game property of determining what type of jackpot the next jackpot game will be. Furthermore, in the ``super-probability fluctuation state'', a right-handed game is played, and although there is no winning assisting state, a small winning game is won and a ball is entered into a small winning opening 72a to increase the number of balls held and a big winning. It is possible to realize the playability of how to continue the "super-probability fluctuation state" without winning the game. It should be noted that the drive mode of the normal electric combination 64c and the drive mode of the second variable winning device 72 in each game state will be described later.

Here, the display mode of the special LED group 39b for each jackpot type will be described. As the stop display (lighting display) of the upper LED group 39b1 for the first special symbol, there is one type of display pattern corresponding to losing, 21 types of display patterns corresponding to the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A", and the jackpot type "probability fluctuation There are 21 types of display patterns corresponding to "B" and 21 types of display patterns corresponding to the jackpot type "time reduction", for a total of 64 types of display patterns. Each display pattern does not have specific regularity for each jackpot type, and is associated with a random display pattern in advance. Therefore, when the player sees the display pattern of the upper LED group 39b1, the player can recognize that the stop display of losing is stopped. It is configured such that it is difficult to identify which stop display of "time reduction" is displayed.

In addition, as the stop display (lighting display) of the lower LED group 39b2 for the second special symbol, there is one type of display pattern corresponding to losing, 21 types of display patterns corresponding to the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A", and the jackpot type " There are 21 types of display patterns corresponding to "probability variation B", 20 types of display patterns corresponding to the big win type "time reduction", and 1 type of display pattern corresponding to the small win, for a total of 64 types of display patterns. there is And each display pattern does not have specific regularity for each jackpot type similarly to the upper LED group 39b1, and a random display pattern is associated in advance. Therefore, when the player sees the display pattern of the lower LED group 39b2, the stop display of the losing and the stop display of the small hit can be recognized, while the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A", "probability fluctuation B" or It is configured such that it is difficult to identify which stop display of "time reduction" is displayed.

By configuring in this way, even when each jackpot type is displayed in the stop display of the special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39, unless all the jackpot types corresponding to each stop display are grasped , it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the winning jackpot type. Therefore, for example, even if "probability variation B" is won, the third symbol display device 81 displays the big win result corresponding to "time reduction" as a temporary display, and during the big win game " It is possible to effectively execute a jackpot promotion presentation for upgrading a jackpot result corresponding to "time reduction" to a jackpot result corresponding to "probability variation B", thereby improving the amusement of the game.

Next, the game area of the game board 13 is provided with a plurality of general winning holes 63 from which 10 balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls win.

A variable display device unit 80 is arranged in the central portion of the game area. In the variable display device unit 80, the first special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 or the first special symbol or A third pattern display device composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as a "display device") having a third pattern display area 81a for performing a variable performance of the third pattern while synchronizing with the dynamic display of the second special pattern. 81, formed in a display area different from the third symbol display area 81a in the third symbol display device 81, and synchronized with the dynamic display of the first special symbol in the upper LED group 39b1 of the special symbol display device 39, the fourth 4th symbol 82a for special figure 1 that performs variable display of symbols, and special figure that performs variable display of the 4th symbol in synchronization with the dynamic display of the second special symbol in the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39 2. Fourth symbol display area 82 having fourth symbol 82b, and an LED that variably displays normal symbols triggered by passage of ball through gate 67 (variable display of normal symbols is hereinafter referred to as "variable display"). A second symbol display device 83 (hereinafter referred to as a "normal symbol display device 83" for convenience of explanation regarding the second symbol display device 83) is provided. A center frame 86 is arranged in the variable display device unit 80 so as to surround the outer periphery of the third pattern display device 81 .

The third pattern display device 81 is composed of a large 17-inch liquid crystal display, and the display contents are controlled by a display control device 114 (see FIG. 85), which will be described later. are displayed (not shown).

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, since the dynamic display of the special figure 1 and the dynamic display of the special figure 2 are configured to be executable in parallel, the third symbol of the third symbol display device 81 Each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 in the display area 81a is configured to execute a variable effect based on one of the special symbols according to various situations. Specifically, for example, if the "normal game state", in the third symbol display area 81a of the third symbol display device 81, only the variation effect related to the special figure 1 is executed, and the variation effect related to the special figure 2 is the third It is not performed in the symbol display area 81a, but is configured to be performed by the fourth symbol 82b for the special symbol 2 and the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39. In addition, if the "super-probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state", in the third symbol display area 81a of the third symbol display device 81, only the variation effect related to the special figure 2 is executed, 1 is not performed in the third symbol display area 81a, but is configured to be performed by the fourth symbol 82a for the special symbol 1 and the upper LED group 39b1 of the special symbol display device 39. By configuring in this way, the effect (variable effect) related to the special symbols to be noticed in each game state can be executed in the third symbol display area 81a of the third symbol display device 81, which is a large display, and the player can can be made to accurately recognize the game situation or the like.

As described above, the fourth design display area 82 displays the fourth designs 82a and 82b corresponding to the special designs, respectively, and the execution or non-execution of the dynamic display of each special design in the fourth designs 82a and 82b. is configured to display The fourth designs 82a and 82b are synchronized with the dynamic display of each special design in each of the LED groups 39b1 and 39b2 of the special design display device 39 and the variation of the variable display of each special design in the third design display device 81. Thus, it is configured to have the same function as the special symbol display device 39 . Therefore, the player can, for example, temporarily stop, blackout, or freeze the variation of the third symbol on the third symbol display device 81, even if the variation effect of the third symbol is difficult or unrecognizable. By confirming the execution mode of each of the fourth symbols 82a and 82b, it is possible to grasp whether or not the variable effect (dynamic display) is being executed even in the difficult-to-recognize state.

In addition, the execution of each special symbol in the third symbol display device 81 is performed only by executing a variable effect related to the special symbol to be executed according to the game state as in the thirteenth embodiment, and dynamic display of both special symbols. may be simultaneously displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and executed. In addition, the order of priority of the special symbols to be executed is provided for each game state, and when the execution opportunity of the special symbols with high priority is acquired, the special symbols with high priority are executed while executing the variable performance related to the special symbols. In the situation where the variable performance is not executed, when the execution opportunity of the special symbol with a low priority degree is acquired, the variable performance related to the special symbol may be executed.

The normal symbol display device 83 performs variable display by alternately lighting a symbol "O" and a symbol "X" as display symbols (normal symbols) each time the ball passes through the through gate 67. - 特許庁In the pachinko machine 10, when the variable display on the normal symbol display device 83 stops at a predetermined symbol ("○" symbol in the thirteenth embodiment), the normal electric operator 64c above the second starting port 64b operates for a predetermined time. It is configured to be in a state (released).

The number of reserved balls in the through gate 67 is reserved up to four times, and the number of reserved balls is displayed by the above-described special symbol display device 39 and the second symbol reservation lamp 84 (hereinafter, the second symbol reservation lamp 84 will be described. For the sake of convenience, it is also lit and displayed in the "normal symbol reservation lamp 84"). Four normal design reserve lamps 84 are provided for the maximum number of reserves and arranged symmetrically below the third design display device 81 . Then, the number of reserved symbols is displayed according to the number of lighted normal symbol reserved lamps 84. - 特許庁

In addition, the variable display of normal symbols is performed by switching between lighting and non-lighting of a plurality of lamps in the normal design display device 83 as in the thirteenth embodiment, as well as the special design display device 39 or the third design display device. A part of 81 may be used. Similarly, the lighting of the normal symbol reservation lamp 84 may be performed by a part of the third symbol display device 81 . Also, the maximum number of held balls to pass through the through gate 67 is not limited to 4 times, and may be set to 3 times or less or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). Also, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the special symbol display device 39, the normal symbol reservation lamp 84 may not be lit and displayed.

Below the variable display device unit 80, a first starting port 64a through which a ball can enter is provided. When the ball enters the first starting port 64a, the first starting port switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device is caused by turning on the first starting port switch. At 110 (see FIG. 85), a lottery for the first special symbol jackpot is made. Then, the dynamic display corresponding to the lottery result is shown by the upper LED group 39b1 of the special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39, and the third symbol display device 81 is displayed only when the "normal game state". A variation effect based on the first special symbol is executed. The first starting hole 64a is also one of the prize winning holes from which five balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls enter the game.

On the right side of the game board 13 when viewed from the front and below the variable prize winning device 65, which will be described later, there is a second starting port 64b through which a ball can enter only when the normal electric terminal 64c is in an open state. It is When the ball enters the second starting port 64b, the second starting port switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device is caused by turning on the second starting port switch. At 110 (see FIG. 85), a lottery for the second special symbol jackpot is made. Then, the display corresponding to the lottery result is indicated by the lower LED group 39b2 of the special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39, and is "super-probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time shortening state". Only in this case, the variation effect based on the second special symbol is executed in the third symbol display device 81. - 特許庁The second starting hole 64b is also one of the prize winning holes through which one ball is paid out as a prize ball when the ball enters.

As described above, above the second starting port 64b, there is provided a sheet of plate-like ordinary electric member 64c that covers the opening through which the ball enters the second starting port 64b. The normal electric part 64c protrudes from the board surface of the game board 13 to cover the opening of the flow path flowing into the second start port 64b, and the second start port 64b by immersing in the board surface of the game board 13. It is configured to be displaceable between an open state in which the opening of the flow path into which the liquid flows into is opened. The second starting port 64b is normally in a closed state in which the normal electrode 64c protrudes from the board surface, making it impossible or difficult for a ball to enter the second starting port 64b. .

On the other hand, when the variable display on the normal symbol display device 83 stops at the symbol "O", the normal electric circuit 64c of the second starting port 64b is operated for a predetermined period of time. While the normal electric terminal 64c is being operated, the normal electric terminal 64c protrudes from the board surface and becomes immersed in the board surface, and the second starting port 64b is opened. When the second starting port 64b is opened, a ball can enter the second starting port 64b, or a ball can easily enter the second starting port 64b compared to the closed state. In other words, as a result of the variable display on the normal symbol display device 83, it stops at the symbol "○" and hits, and the second start port 64b is opened, so that the ball enters the second start port 64b. A state can be created in which many large winning lotteries can be performed.

A decelerating member (not shown) for decelerating the ball rolling on the upper surface of the ordinary electric member 64c is formed on the upper portion of the ordinary electric member 64c. In the thirteenth embodiment, the ball rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c collides with the deceleration member, thereby lengthening the rolling time on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c. , when the ball rolls on the upper surface from the right end to the left end of the normal electrode 64c, it takes about 3 seconds. Therefore, while the ball fired by the right-handed game is rolling on the normal electric part 64c (that is, about 3 seconds), if the normal electric part 64c is in an open (immersed) state, the ball Due to its own weight, it flows downward in the vertical direction of the game board 13 and can enter the second starting port 64b. When it is maintained, it is configured to roll all the way from the right end to the left end on the normal electric member 64c and flow down to the side of the small winning opening 72a arranged on the left side of the game board 13 in the front view of the ordinary electric member 64c. ing. Although details will be described later, in the "probability fluctuation state" and the "time reduction state", by setting the variable display time of the normal symbol to less than "3 seconds" (that is, "0.5 seconds"), the normal electric role While the ball is rolling above 64c, the variable display of the normal symbols is finished, and as a result, the normal symbols win, so that the ball rolling above the normal electronic 64c is the first. It flows into the 2 starting port 64b.

It should be noted that the time for rolling on the upper surface of the ordinary electric roller 64c is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, it may be configured to be a short time of less than "3 seconds" (eg, "1 second") or a long time of "3 seconds" or more (eg, "5 seconds"). It may be configured to be

A variable prize winning device 65 is arranged on the right side of the variable display device unit 80 when viewed from the front, and a horizontally elongated rectangular big prize winning opening 65a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the main controller 110 (see FIG. 85) becomes a big hit, after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) has passed, The special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39 is lit and displayed so that the stop symbol of the big win is displayed, and the stop symbol corresponding to the big win is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (for example, three identical symbols ("777")). etc.)) is displayed to indicate the occurrence of a jackpot game. After that, the game state transitions to a special game state (jackpot game) in which an opening/closing plate (not shown) provided in the variable prize winning device 65 is opened so that the ball can easily enter the big prize winning opening 65a. In this special game state, the normally closed big winning opening 65a is opened until a predetermined condition is established (for example, until "30 seconds" elapse or until 10 balls are won).

When the large winning opening 65a is opened, it is closed when a predetermined time elapses from opening or when a predetermined number of winnings is detected, and after that closure, the large winning opening 65a is opened again. The opening and closing operation of the big winning opening 65a can be repeated up to, for example, 16 times (16 rounds). The state in which this opening and closing operation is performed is one form of a special game state (jackpot state) that is advantageous to the player, and the player can win the game by winning the ball into the big winning hole 65a. As a value (game value) is given, a larger amount of prize balls than usual is paid out.

Below the variable prize winning device 65, a horizontal feeding member 65c is arranged to guide the ball flowing down the right side of the center frame 86 to the right end side of the upper surface of the normal electric wire 64c. By this lateral feed member 65c, the ball that is shot in the right-handed game and does not win the variable prize winning device 65 is guided to the right end side of the normal electric combination 64c, and the upper surface of the normal electric combination 64c is always guided. can be rolled.

As described above, it takes about 3 seconds for the ball to roll along the slope from the right end to the left end of the upper surface of the ordinary electric roller 64c. If the normal electrode 64c is not opened for about 3 seconds or more (i.e., if the normal electrode 64c is kept closed for about 3 seconds or more), the sphere will reach the right end of the upper surface of the normal electrode 64c. rolls to the left end and flows downstream. On the other hand, when the ball is rolling on the upper surface of the normal electrode 64c, if the normal electrode 64c is opened within about 3 seconds (that is, the closed state of the normal electrode 64c is maintained for about 3 seconds or more) If not), the ball rolling on the upper surface of the ordinary electric roller 64c flows down toward the second starting port 64b and enters the second starting port 64b.

A second variable prize winning device 72 is disposed on the left side (downstream side) of the second starting port 64b in a front view, and a horizontally long rectangular small prize winning port 72a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the main controller 110 (see FIG. 85) becomes a small hit, after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) has passed , The special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39 is lit and displayed so that it becomes a small winning stop symbol, and the third symbol display device 81 displays a stop symbol corresponding to the small winning (for example, a fixed specific symbol ( "341" etc.)) is displayed to indicate the occurrence of a small winning game. After that, the opening/closing plate (not shown) provided in the second variable winning device 72 is opened and the game state transitions to a special game state (small winning game) in which the ball can easily enter the small winning opening 72a. As this special game state, the small prize winning opening 72a which is normally closed is opened until a predetermined condition is established (for example, until "1.8 seconds" elapses or until one ball wins). .

The opening and closing operation of the small winning opening 72a is configured to be performed only once in one small winning game. The state in which this opening and closing operation is performed is one form of a special game state (small winning state) that is advantageous to the player, and the player is given more game value (game value) than usual. , less prize balls are paid out than in the jackpot game. It should be noted that, when the small winning opening 72a is opened, it is closed when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a predetermined time has elapsed since opening, or a predetermined number of winnings is detected), and after that closing, the small winning game ends. Then, the game is restarted in the game state before the start of the small winning game.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the balls that are shot in the right-handed game and do not win the variable prize winning device 65 are placed in the second It can flow down to the arrangement position of the variable winning device 72 and flow into the small winning opening 72a. On the other hand, in a state where the normal electric motor 64c is intermittently opened within 3 seconds, almost all the balls rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric motor 64c flow down toward the second starting port 64b, It is configured so as not to reach the arrangement position of the variable winning device 72 .

Next, with reference to FIG. 85, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 85 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment.

The main controller 110 of the thirteenth embodiment is equipped with an MPU 271 as a one-chip microcomputer that is an arithmetic device. The MPU 271 includes a ROM 272 storing various control programs and fixed value data to be executed by the MPU 271, and a memory for temporarily storing various data when executing the control programs stored in the ROM 272. A RAM 273 and other various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data transmission/reception circuit are incorporated.

In addition, various commands are transmitted from the main controller 110 to the sub-controller by the data transmission/reception circuit in order to instruct the operation of the sub-controller such as the payout controller 111 and the sound lamp controller 113. Such commands are sent in only one direction from the main controller 110 to the sub-controllers.

The main control unit 110 controls the main parts of the pachinko machine 10, such as the jackpot lottery, setting of dynamic display and variable effects in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, and lottery of variable display results in the normal symbol display device 83. process. The RAM 273 is provided with a counter buffer 273c that stores various counters for controlling these processes.

In addition, the ROM 272 includes a jackpot random number table 272a, a jackpot type table 272b, a pending number table 272c, a stop pattern table 272d, a fluctuation pattern table 272e, a random number table per normal pattern 272f, a normal pattern fluctuation table 272g, an electric role opening table 272h, and a jackpot. At least an open table 272i and a small winning open table 272j are stored. Main controller 110 executes the main control described above by various counters stored in RAM 273 and various tables stored in ROM 272 .

Here, with reference to FIG. 86, counters and the like provided in the RAM 273 of the main controller 110 will be described. These counters, etc., set the jackpot lottery, the small lottery, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39, the setting of the variable effect of the third symbol display device 81, the lottery of the display result of the variable display in the normal symbol display device 83 etc., it is used in the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 . Further, in the description of various counters, various tables stored in the ROM 272 of the main controller 110 will also be described with reference to FIGS. 87 to 96. FIG.

For the setting of the big winning lottery, the small winning lottery, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39, and the setting of the variable effect of the third symbol display device 81, the big winning random number counter C1 used for the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery, A jackpot type counter C2 used for selecting the stop type of the jackpot pattern, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used for selecting a rough performance mode of the variable performance, and a first initial value used for initial value setting of the jackpot random number counter C1. A random number counter CINI1 and a variation type counter CS1 used for detailed variation pattern selection are used.

In addition, for the lottery of the normal symbol display device 83, a random number counter C4 per normal pattern (equivalent to the second random number counter C4 in the first embodiment) is used, and the initial value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern C4 is set. A two initial value random number counter CINI2 (equivalent to the second initial value random number counter CINI2 in the first embodiment) is used.

Each of these counters is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value each time it is updated and returns to "0" after reaching the maximum value.

Each counter is updated, for example, at intervals of 4 milliseconds, which is the execution interval of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), and some counters are updated irregularly during the main processing (see FIG. 17). The updated value is stored in the counter buffer 273c set in a predetermined area of the RAM 273 as appropriate. Although details will be described later, the RAM 273 has a first reserved ball storage area 273d consisting of four reserved areas (first reserved first to fourth areas) related to the first special symbol, and four reserved balls related to the second special symbol. A second reserved ball storage area 273e consisting of areas (second reserved first to fourth areas) is provided, and each of these areas has the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b. Each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 is stored in accordance with the timing.

Each counter will be described in detail. The jackpot random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in order within a predetermined range (eg, "0 to 9999"), and reaches the maximum value (eg, "9999" in the case of a counter that can take a value of "0 to 9999"). It is configured to return to "0" after reaching. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 is updated once, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and the jackpot random number counter C1 is updated from the initial value. done.

The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter updated in the same range as the jackpot random number counter C1. That is, for example, if the jackpot random number counter C1 is a loop counter that can take a value of "0 to 9999", the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is also a loop counter of a range of "0 to 9999". This first initial value random number counter CINI1 is updated once each time the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is executed, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main processing (see FIG. 17).

The value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is, for example, periodically updated (in the thirteenth embodiment, once per timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98)). Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting opening 64a (starting winning), the first reserved first to the first reserved ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first starting opening 64a (first special symbol) It is stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of one of the first reservation areas in the fourth area. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting port 64b (starting winning), the second reserve first to It is stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 of the second reservation area in one of the fourth areas.

The value of the random number at which the jackpot random number counter C1 becomes a jackpot or a small hit is set by a jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol stored in the ROM 272 of the main controller 110. FIG. That is, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of the reserved area of the first reserved ball storage area 273d becomes the jackpot set by the jackpot random number table 272a1 corresponding to the first special symbol. If it matches the random number value, it is determined as a big win, and if it matches the random number value that is a small win, it is determined as a small win. Also, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 of the second reserved ball storage area 273e becomes the jackpot set by the jackpot random number table 272a2 corresponding to the second special symbol. If it matches the random number value, it is determined as a big win, and if it matches the random number value that is a small win, it is determined as a small win.

Here, with reference to FIG. 87, details of the jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol will be described. FIG. 87(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a jackpot random number table 272a1 (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1") corresponding to the first special symbol stored in the ROM 272. 87(b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of a jackpot random number table 272a2 (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2") corresponding to the second special symbol stored in the ROM 272. be.

The special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the thirteenth embodiment are for each set value, respectively, for the low probability state used when the game state is a special symbol low probability state, The game state is divided into two types, one for a high probability state used in the case of a high probability state with special symbols having a higher probability of winning a big hit than the low probability state with special symbols.

For each set value, the number of jackpot random numbers included in each of the low probability state and the high probability state is set differently. In addition, an increase in the number of large-hit random numbers necessary for shifting from the low-probability state to the high-probability state is compensated for by the number of losing random numbers corresponding to the losing. That is, when increasing the number of big-hit random numbers in order to shift from a low-probability state to a high-probability state, the number of losing random numbers is reduced, and the decrement is assigned as the number of big-hit random numbers. Thus, by varying the number of big win random numbers according to the game state, the probability of winning a big win is changed between the low probability state and the high probability state.

On the other hand, in each special symbol, it is set so that the number of small winning random numbers included in each set value and in each of the low probability state and the high probability state is the same. That is, the number of small winning random numbers in the first special symbol is the same number for each set value, and is configured to be the same number in the low probability state and the high probability state. Similarly, the number of small winning random numbers in the second special symbol is also the same number for each set value, and is configured to be the same number in the low probability state and the high probability state. In this way, by making the number of small hit random numbers the same for each set value in each special symbol and in the low probability state and the high probability state, all the set values and game states in each special symbol The ratio of giving the game value in consideration of only the small winning game is the same.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the low probability state to the high probability state of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set to the losing random number value for all set values. It is configured to compensate from the number of Also, the number of small hit random numbers of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is configured not to change for each set value. That is, the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot accompanying the setting change and the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot accompanying the change from the low-probability state to the high-probability state for each setting are reduced to the number of the losing random numbers. Then, the decrement is compensated by assigning it to the jackpot random number value, and the numbers of the first special symbol and the second special symbol small winning random number value are the same for each first special symbol or second special symbol setting. . By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers, thereby reducing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications. can be suppressed.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random number values associated with the setting change is calculated from the jackpot random number counter C1 by the jackpot random number value that can be obtained when the player is most likely to stay in the game. Compensation is performed from the combination of the most random numbers (that is, a losing random number) other than . By configuring in this way, for example, in the first special symbol that is encouraged to be executed in the "normal game state" with a high stay rate, the appearance of the losing role that is the most common role in the variable performance of the first special symbol Setting discrimination can be made difficult from the number of times. Therefore, the set value of the pachinko machine 10 can be made difficult to be detected by setting only the appearance ratio of the big win having a lower appearance probability than the losing combination as the determining element set by the player. As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, set value 1 or the like), the game can be continued without letting the player see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of the jackpot random number values associated with the setting change is compensated for by increasing the number of the jackpot random number counter C1, which corresponds to a losing combination that does not give a game value to the player. Compensate from the number.

A losing combination is a combination that does not give a game value, unlike a big winning combination or a small winning combination. Therefore, a data lamp (not shown) is provided for each pachinko machine 10 and displays the game result, etc. of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加It is a role that is not clearly (extremely) displayed in Here, if both the number of large winning random numbers corresponding to the big winning game and the number of small winning random numbers corresponding to the small winning game, which are likely to be clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp, are changed for each setting. When the player glances (confirms) the appearance rate of the two elements of the big winning game and the small winning game with the data lamp, it becomes easy to guess the setting discrimination of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加As a result, for example, when the player sees through the setting of the pachinko machine 10 set to a low setting (for example, set value "1"), the player does not play the game with the pachinko machine 10 and pachinko. There is a possibility that the operation of the machine 10 will be lowered.

Therefore, the increase in the number of jackpot random number values associated with the setting change of the probability setting value is not given to the player in the jackpot random number counter C1, and is not clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp. is compensated from the number of the random number corresponding to the loss, the set value of the pachinko machine 10 is hardly seen through from the occurrence rate of the small wins, with only the occurrence rate of the big wins as the determination element set by the player. be able to. Therefore, the discriminating element of the probability setting value is limited to the appearance rate of a combination based on one random number, and for example, even if the setting is low (i.e., setting value "1", etc.), it is set to the player. The game can be continued without being detected, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, in the high-probability state of the special symbol, the lower the set value is, the harder the big hit occurs, and the higher the set value is, the more likely the big hit is to occur. state”, the lower the set value, the longer the stay period of the “super-probability fluctuation state” tends to be. As a result, the lower the set value is, the more likely the number of small wins to be won in the "super-probability fluctuation state" increases, so the game value given in the "super-probability fluctuation state" increases. Therefore, even if the set value is low, by entering the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to increase the game value that can be given to the player compared to when the set value is high. Therefore, by providing the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to reverse the advantage and disadvantage in the setting difference, to enrich the variation of the game, and to improve the interest of the game.

As shown in FIG. 87 (a), in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the setting value is "1", the jackpot random number that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 The number of values of the counter C1 (random number value for jackpot) is 50, and the value "0 to 49" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 random number table 272a1 for jackpot. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "1" (that is, the "normal game state" or the "time reduction state") is 50/10000=0.5/100. (that is, 0.5%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 500, and the value "0 to 499" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" or the "probability fluctuation state") is 500/10000 = 5/100 ( That is, 5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

In addition, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that are small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are both 100, low The value "50 to 149" in the case of the probability state or the value "500 to 599" in the case of the high probability state is specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9850 pieces, the value "150 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9400 numbers other than the big hit random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "600 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9850/10000=98.5/100. (that is, 98.5%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9400 /10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

That is, at the set value "1", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the number of jackpot random numbers increased from the low probability state to the high probability state is within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'' (that is, 9850 or less). is configured as

Next, when the set value is "2", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 52, and the value "0 to 51 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "2" (that is, the "normal game state" or the "time reduction state") is 52/10000=0.52/100. (that is, 0.52%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 520, and the value "0 to 519" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "2" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 520/10000=5.2/ 100 (that is, 5.2%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low probability state.

Also, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is set to "1". As in the case, both are 100, the value "52 to 151" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "520 to 619" in the case of a high probability state are specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 It is That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "2" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

(that is, 98.46%), the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9360 /10000=93.6/100 (that is, 93.6%).

That is, at the set value "3", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced, and the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game is reduced.

That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "2" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 548/10000=5.48/100. (that is, 5.48%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 80 /10000=0.8/100 (that is, 0.8%).

That is, at the set value "2", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 548 or less).

Therefore, the set value "2" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "1" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.5%→0.52%, High probability state: 5%→5.2%).

Next, when the set value is "3", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 54, and the value "0 to 53" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") of the second special symbol set value "3" is 54/ It is set so that 10000=0.54/100 (ie 0.54%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 540, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 539" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 540, like the first special symbol. /10000=5.4/100 (that is, 5.4%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Here, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the set value "1" And as in the case of "2", both are 9400, the value "54 to 9453" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "540 to 9939" in the case of a high probability state is the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is stipulated (set) in That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "3" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 546 pieces, the value "9454 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 60 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "9940 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 546/10000=5.46/100. (that is, 5.46%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 60 /10000=0.6/100 (that is, 0.6%).

That is, at the set value "3", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 546 or less).

Therefore, the set value "3" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "2" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.52%→0.54%, High probability state: 5.2%→5.4%).

Next, when the set value is "4", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 56, and the value "0 to 55" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") of the set value "4" is 56/ It is set so that 10000=0.56/100 (ie 0.56%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that become a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 560, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 559" is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 560, like the first special symbol. /10000=5.6/100 (that is, 5.6%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times easier than the low probability state.

Here, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the set value "1" Like the case of "3", both are 9400, the value "56 to 9455" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "560 to 9959" in the case of a high probability state is the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is stipulated (set) in That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "4" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

With 544 pieces, the value "9456 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 40 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "9960 to 9999" It is defined (set) in the 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 544/10000=5.44/100. (that is, 5.44%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high-probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 40 /10000=0.4/100 (that is, 0.4%).

That is, at the setting value "4", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 544 or less).

Therefore, the set value "4" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "3" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.54%→0.56%, High probability state: 5.4%→5.6%).

Next, when the set value is "5", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 58, and the value "0 to 57" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the low probability state (ie, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") of the second special symbol set value "5" is 58/ It is set so that 10000=0.58/100 (ie 0.58%).

With 542 pieces, the value "9458 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 20 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "9980 to 9999" It is defined (set) in the 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "5" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 542/10000=5.42/100. (that is, 5.42%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 20 /10000=0.2/100 (that is, 0.2%).

That is, at the set value "5", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 542 or less).

Therefore, the set value "5" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "4" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.56%→0.58%, high probability state: 5.6%→5.8%).

Next, when the set value is "6", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 60 pieces, and the value "0 to 59" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the low probability state (ie, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") of the second special symbol set value "6" is the same as the first special symbol, 60/ It is set so that 10000=0.6/100 (that is, 0.6%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 600, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 599" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol high probability state (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") of the set value "6" is 600 as in the first special symbol. /10000=6/100 (that is, 6%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times easier than the low probability state.

Here, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the set value "1" Like the case of "5", both are 9400, and the value "60 to 9459" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "600 to 9999" in the case of a high probability state is the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is stipulated (set) in That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "6" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 540 pieces, the value "9460 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is 0 remaining other than the jackpot random number and the small hit random number, and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is set to the losing random number. No corresponding value is stored. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 540/10000=5.4/100. (that is, 5.4%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high-probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 0 /10000=0/100 (that is, 0%) is set so that a losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "6", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 540 or less).

Therefore, the set value "6" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "5" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.58%→0.6%, High probability state: 5.8%→6%).

As described above, in both the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the "probability fluctuation state" is the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" While compensating for , it is configured so as to be within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". Also, the number of small winning random number values is configured not to change between the "normal game state" and the "probability fluctuation state". By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increment of the jackpot random number value, thereby suppressing an increase in the number of man-hours when designing the game specifications. be able to.

Returning to FIG. 86, the description is continued. The jackpot type counter C2 determines the jackpot type in the case of a jackpot. in the case of a counter that can take the value of ", it returns to "0" after reaching "99"). The value of the jackpot type counter C2 is, for example, periodically updated (in the thirteenth embodiment, once per timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98)).

Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting port 64a, the jackpot is selected from the first reserved first to fourth areas of the first reserved ball storage area 273d of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the first starting port 64a. It is stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2 of the same first reservation area as the first reservation area where the random number counter C1 is stored. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting port 64b, the jackpot is selected from the second reserved first to fourth areas of the second reserved ball storage area 273e of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the second starting port 64b. It is stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 of the same second reservation area as the second reservation area where the random number counter C1 is stored.

Here, for example, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a random number (jackpot random value) or a small hit. If it is not a random number (small hit random number), that is, if it is a random number that becomes a loss (losing random number), the variation pattern in the variation production and the type of stop pattern (hereinafter referred to as "stop type") is a loss be of the hour. On the other hand, if the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a random number (jackpot random value) that will result in a big hit, a variable effect The fluctuation pattern and stop type in will be those at the time of the big hit. In this case, the variation pattern and stop type at the time of the big win are determined corresponding to the big win type indicated by the value of the big win type counter C2 stored in the same reservation area. In addition, if the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a random number (small hit random value) that becomes a small win, it will fluctuate. The variation pattern and stop type in the production will be those at the time of the small hit.

As described above, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of "0 to 99", and the jackpot type counter C2 and the jackpot type stored in the ROM 272 The jackpot type is determined based on the table 272b. This jackpot type table 272b includes a special-figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 referred to in the first lottery game of the first special symbol and a special-figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 referred to in the second lottery game of the second special symbol. and are provided.

Here, the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 and the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 88(a) and 88(b). FIG. 88(a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 corresponding to the first special symbol stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 88(b) is similarly stored in the ROM 272. It is a diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 corresponding to the second special symbol.

As shown in FIGS. 88(a) and 88(b), the jackpot type table 272b is provided according to the type of special symbol (that is, whether it is the first special symbol or the second special symbol). The jackpot type corresponding to the type of , and the value of the jackpot type counter C2 are associated.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, as the jackpot type, after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 16 rounds, until the next jackpot with a special pattern is won (so-called, until the next jackpot. Hereinafter, it will be referred to as "until the next jackpot"). ), while the jackpot probability of the special pattern is in a high probability state, while the probability of hitting the normal pattern is in a low probability state "probability fluctuation A" corresponding to the "super probability fluctuation state" and the maximum round "Probability fluctuation B" corresponding to the "probability fluctuation state" in which the probability of special patterns and the probability of normal patterns are high after the jackpot of 6 rounds until the next jackpot, and the maximum number of rounds. After the 6 rounds of the jackpot, until the variable performance of each special pattern is executed a total of 50 times, the special pattern jackpot probability is in a low probability state, while the normal pattern hit probability is in a high probability state. There is a "time reduction" corresponding to the "shortened state".

In the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 and the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2, each jackpot type is associated with a possible value of the jackpot type counter C2 that determines the jackpot type.

In the example of the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 in FIG. 88(a), the value "0 to 9" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with "probability fluctuation A", and the jackpot with respect to "probability fluctuation B" The value "10 to 59" of the type counter C2 is associated, and the value "60 to 99" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with "time reduction".

In the winning lottery of the first special symbol in the thirteenth embodiment, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of one of the first reserved ball storage areas 273d becomes the jackpot. If it is a value, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2 of the same first reservation area is determined from the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1. For example, if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "7", "probability variation A" is determined as the jackpot type, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "50", "probability variation B" is determined as the jackpot type. is determined, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "95", "time reduction" is determined as the jackpot type.

That is, when the jackpot is won in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, which is the first lottery game, the jackpot type of "probability change A" is 10%, the jackpot type of "probability change B" is 50%, and the "time Shortening” jackpot type will be elected at a rate of 40%.

In addition, in the example of the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 in FIG. 88(b), the value "0 to 29" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with "probability fluctuation A", and "probability fluctuation B" , the value "30-59" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated, and the value "60-99" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with "time reduction".

In the winning lottery of the second special symbol in the thirteenth embodiment, the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the big hit random number counter storage area 273e1 of any one of the first reserved area 273e of the second reserved ball storage area 273e becomes the big hit. If it is a value, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 of the same first reservation area is determined from the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2. For example, if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "17", "probability variation A" is determined as the jackpot type, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "40", the jackpot type is "probability variation B". is determined, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "85", "time reduction" is determined as the jackpot type.

That is, when a jackpot is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol, which is the second lottery game, the jackpot type of "probability change A" is 30%, the jackpot type of "probability change B" is 30%, and the "time Shortening” jackpot type will be elected at a rate of 40%.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, in the first lottery game with the first special symbol, the selection ratio of "probability variation A" with the highest game value is 10%, while the second lottery with the second special symbol Since the selection ratio of "probability variation A" in the game is 30%, the lottery game with the second special symbol has a higher game value for the player than the lottery game with the first special symbol. For this reason, the player is given a playability of how to receive the lottery with the second special symbol, that is, whether to enter the ball into the second start hole 64b rather than into the first start hole 64a. Variations are provided to heighten the interest of the game.

The probability that each jackpot type is selected when a jackpot is won is appropriately set depending on the model. Then, according to the set probability, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 associated with each jackpot type is defined in the jackpot type table 272b.

Moreover, the probability that the jackpot type is selected may be changed according to the game state of the pachinko machine 10 . In this case, a jackpot type table 272b corresponding to each game state is prepared, and in each jackpot type table 272b, the number of values of the jackpot type counter C2 associated with each jackpot type may be changed.

Returning to FIG. 86, the description of the various counters continues. The stop pattern selection counter C3 is configured to be incremented by "1" in sequence within a range of, for example, "0 to 99" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "99").

In the thirteenth embodiment, depending on the pending number of pending variable effects and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, the rough effect mode of the variable effects displayed on the third symbol display device 81 at the time of the big hit and at the time of losing is determined. selected. Specifically, the "non-reach (long)" production mode and the "non-reach (short)" production mode in which the "reach display" does not occur, and the "normal reach" variable element as the "reach display" are executed. "Normal Reach" effect mode, "Super Reach" effect mode in which the variable element of "Normal Reach" is developed and the variable element of "Super Reach" is executed, and similarly, the variable element of "Normal Reach" is developed into "Special Reach". "Special reach" production mode in which the variable element of " is executed, "Super long fluctuation" production mode in which the fluctuation time is set long without occurrence of "reach display", and the above "reach display" are different An effect mode including a "special variation" effect mode in which a special effect, which will be described later, is executed is selected.

Here, each effect mode will be described in detail. Among the production modes, the "non-reach (long)" production mode and the "non-reach (short)" production mode (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "non-reach (long)" production mode and the "non-reach (short)" production mode) Then, the "non-reach" production mode may be referred to) is a third pattern display device 81 in which three pattern rows (not shown) fluctuate as a special pattern variation production, each pattern row After performing a variable element of ``high-speed variation'' for shuffling at high speed, the same 3rd pattern does not stop in 2 pattern rows that stop first, and ``ready-to-win display'' does not occur.

The "high-speed fluctuation" variable element is, for example, the third pattern displayed in each pattern row scrolls at high speed downward in the vertical direction of the display screen in the third pattern variation effect performed by the third pattern display device 81. It refers to the variable element that is In this "high-speed fluctuation", the third pattern is fluctuated so that the display contents of the third pattern cannot be clearly recognized by the player, and the stop result of the previously stop-displayed variable production is irregularly mixed (shuffled). is executed.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, after the "high-speed fluctuation" variable element is executed, the "low-speed fluctuation" variable element is executed except for a specific effect mode ("non-reach (short)" effect mode). It is configured to be

The "low speed variation" variable element means that, in the third symbol variation effect performed by the third symbol display device 81, after the "high speed variation" variable element, the third symbol is displayed at a speed that is visible to the player. A moving element that scrolls to In this "low-speed variation" variable element, each symbol row is stopped and displayed in order while allowing the player to recognize the display contents of the third symbol. When the same third symbol stops in the two symbol rows (for example, the left symbol row and the right symbol row) that are stopped and displayed first, it is considered that the "ready-to-win display" occurs and develops into a variable element of "normal reach". When a different third symbol is stopped in the two symbol rows to be stop-displayed first, the rest of the symbol rows are stop-displayed to end the variable performance.

Therefore, in the "non-reach (long)" effect mode, the "low-speed fluctuation" variable element is performed after the "high-speed fluctuation" variable element is performed, and each symbol sequence stops in order and stops first. A different third pattern is stopped in the two pattern rows to be played, the remaining one pattern row is stopped, and one variation performance is completed. On the other hand, in the "non-reach (short)" effect mode, after the "high-speed fluctuation" is performed, the "low-speed fluctuation" variable element is not performed, and after the "high-speed fluctuation" variable element is completed, each symbol row is displayed at the same time. Stop, and a different third pattern is stopped and displayed in two symbol rows (for example, two symbol rows that stop first in the "non-reach (long)" production mode), and the other symbol rows are also stopped, 1 change production ends.

Among the production modes, the "normal reach" production mode is that, in the variation production of the third pattern in the third pattern display device 81, immediately after the same third pattern stops in the two pattern rows that are stopped and displayed first, " This is one of the production modes of the "ready-to-reach display" in which the variable elements of "normal reach" are executed and other "ready-to-reach display" does not develop into the variable elements of "super reach" and "special reach".

Among the presentation modes, the "super reach" presentation mode is one of the presentation modes of "reach display" in which the variable element of "super reach" is developed from the variable element of "normal reach".

Among the presentation modes, the "special reach" presentation mode is one of the presentation modes of "reach display" in which the variable element of "special reach" is developed from the variable element of "normal reach".

Among the production modes, the "super long fluctuation" production mode is that the variable element of "high speed fluctuation" is performed for a long time, and then the variable element of "low speed fluctuation" is performed, and each symbol row stops in order. , a different third pattern is stopped in the two pattern rows to be stopped first, and then the rest of the pattern rows are also stop-displayed, and the 1 variable performance is completed.

Among the production modes, the "special change" production mode develops from the "normal reach" variable element that can be selected in the "special reach" production mode, and the "special reach" variable element and the "re-variation" variable element. This is one of the presentation modes of "ready-to-reach display" in which is executed.

The value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is updated, for example, periodically (in the thirteenth embodiment, once per timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98)). Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting port 64a, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is the first reserved ball storage area 273d provided in the first reserved ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first starting port 64a. It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 of the first reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the first to fourth areas. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting hole 64b, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is the second holding ball storage area 273e provided in the second holding ball storage area 273e corresponding to the second starting hole 64b. It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 of the second reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the first to fourth areas.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the success or failure of the variable performance (big win, small win or loss), the current game state, and the number of variable performances of both special symbols currently pending (number of pending balls) Accordingly, the stop pattern table 272d that refers to the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is configured differently. That is, the stop pattern table 272d is provided in a plurality of types, and is configured to be selected according to the number of variable effects (the number of pending balls) of both special symbols in standby.

In addition, in the thirteenth embodiment, when determining the detailed variation pattern of the variation production, first, based on the reservation number table 272c (see FIG. 89) provided in the ROM272, the propriety of the variation production and the current game One of the stop pattern tables 272d corresponding to the state and the current number of variable effects (the number of pending balls) is selected. Then, based on the selected stop pattern table 272d and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, an effect mode, which is a rough mode of the variable effect, is selected. Thereafter, a detailed variation pattern (fluctuation time) of the variable performance is determined based on the selected performance mode and the value of the variation type counter CS1, which will be described later.

The plurality of types of stop pattern tables 272d are set so that the range of random numbers of the stop pattern selection counter C3 for selecting an effect mode differs for each stop pattern table 272d. The reason why a plurality of stop pattern tables 272d are prepared is to change the selection ratio of the effect mode of the variable effect depending on whether the variable effect is appropriate, the game state and the number of reserved balls. That is, (1) whether or not a big hit occurs in the acquired third symbol variation effect, or (2) the current game state of the pachinko machine 10 is "super-probability variation state", "probability variation state", or "time reduction state". Or, it is for changing the selection ratio of the effect mode depending on whether it is in the "normal game state" and (3) how many reserved balls of the variable effect are reserved.

The first reason for this is to change the degree of expectation for a big win for each effect mode. That is, the stop patterns, that is, the "non-reach" performance mode, the "normal reach" performance mode, the "super reach" performance mode, and the "special reach" performance, are used when the jackpot lottery is won and when the jackpot lottery is lost. The degree of expectation for a big win is changed for each performance mode by configuring the mode selection ratio to be different. Specifically, for example, when winning the jackpot lottery, the ``super reach'' performance mode or the ``special reach'' performance mode is configured to be easily selected, and when the jackpot lottery is not won, the ``non-reach'' performance is configured. The mode and the "normal reach" presentation mode are configured to be easily selected.

By configuring in this way, the ``super reach'' performance mode and the ``special reach'' performance mode can be a performance mode that makes it easy to hit a big hit, and the ``normal reach'' performance mode and the ``non-reach'' performance mode are less likely to hit a big hit. A performance or a performance without a big win can be provided, and the degree of expectation for a big win can be differentiated for each performance mode. Therefore, when a performance that makes it easy to win a big win appears in the variable performance, it is suggested to the player that the possibility of a big win is high while the performance that makes it easy to win a big win is being performed, thereby enhancing the amusement of the game. there is

Specifically, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the acquired lottery result is a big win, the stop pattern table 272d makes it easy to select an effect that makes it easy to win a big win and makes it difficult to select an effect that makes it difficult to win a big win. Based on, it is configured to select a performance mode (stop pattern) which is a rough content of the variable performance. On the other hand, when the obtained lottery result is a loss, it is difficult to select a performance that makes it easy to win a big win, and a performance mode (stop pattern) of a variable performance is selected based on a stop pattern table 272d that makes it easy to select a performance that makes it difficult to win a big win. Configure to select. As a result, when notifying the player of the lottery result of the third symbol in the variable performance, if the performance that makes it easy to win a big win is executed, the performance that makes it easy to win a big win is executed in the variable performance, and the performance that makes it difficult to win a big win is executed. In the case that the variable performance is on, a big win is hardly generated by the variable performance, and by providing a difference in the expected value of the big win for each performance mode (stop pattern), the amusement of the game can be enhanced during the execution of the variable performance.

In addition, as the second reason, the number of times of waiting for the variation effect of the first special symbol is the upper limit, or the number of times of waiting for the variation effect of the second special symbol is the upper limit. This is to reduce as much as possible useless balls (so-called no lottery of special symbols due to overflow winning) based on balls entering the second start port 64b in the state of reaching .

Specifically, the number of standby times for the variation production of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set to a maximum of 4 times, respectively, and the variation production is executed for at least a certain period of time. In the gaming state in which the balls are likely to enter the second starting port 64b in the "probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" and "time shortening state", the maximum number of reserved balls of the second special symbol is likely to be reached. In these game states, if a variable effect with a long variable time is selected, the ball entering the second start port 64b in a state where the maximum number of reserved balls of the second special symbol is reached occurs frequently, and the second start port The lottery opportunity for the second special symbol cannot be acquired even though the ball is entered into 64b. In addition, even in the "normal game state", when the maximum number of reserved balls of the first special symbol is reached, if a variable performance with a long variation time is selected, the first special symbol is suspended during the execution of the variable performance. Since the number of balls is not digested, even if a ball enters the first starting port 64a during that time, the lottery opportunity for the first special symbol cannot be obtained. In such a state, the player judges that the game value cannot be obtained even if the ball is entered into the first start hole 64a, and loses interest in the game, and the variable effect is digested. The shooting of balls is stopped and the game is interrupted until the number of reserved balls can be acquired again.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the game state in which the maximum number of reserved balls of the third symbol (first special pattern or second special symbol) is easily reached, and the maximum number of reserved balls is close to (or matches) The number of pending balls is configured to select the effect mode of the variable effect based on the stop pattern table 272d in which a short variable time is likely to be selected. As a result, it is possible to suppress the ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b in a state where the maximum number of reserved balls of the third symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) has been reached. can.

Furthermore, the third reason is that the execution time is set long to delay the end of the variable performance, thereby maintaining the state in which the variable performance is being executed for a long time. Specifically, when the number of pending balls in the variable effect is small (no), the ball is newly inserted into either the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b within the variable time of the variable effect being executed. If the ball is not made, the next variable effect cannot be started, and the third symbol display device 81 must display a demonstration screen or the like. When the third symbol display device 81 does not perform a variable effect in spite of the fact that the player is playing the game by shooting the ball, the player can obtain the interest related to the lottery for the big win desired by the player. Instead, they lose interest in the game. In addition, the player recognizes that the pachinko machine 10 makes it difficult for the ball to enter the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b because the variation effect is not performed on the third symbol display device 81, There is a possibility that the pachinko machine 10 will be judged to be a machine with which it is difficult to obtain a game value, and the game will be stopped.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the number of pending balls of the variable effect is small, the effect mode of the variable effect is selected based on the stop pattern table 272d in which a long variable time is likely to be selected. there is As a result, a situation in which the third pattern display device 81 is not subjected to the variable performance can be made difficult to occur, and the execution state of the variable performance in the third symbol display device 81 can be maintained for a long time.

Further, as a fourth reason, the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment is a so-called simultaneous variation machine capable of simultaneously executing dynamic display of the first special symbol and dynamic display of the second special symbol in parallel. However, the special symbols to be executed (recommended) for each game state are preset (regulated) as game specifications, and in order to actively draw the special symbols to be executed for each game state, It is configured to impart a predetermined penalty (penalty) when a lottery opportunity for a special symbol that is not desired to be executed in a predetermined game state (unencouragement) is obtained.

Specifically, for example, in the "normal game state", a left-handed game is encouraged in advance as a game specification, and the left-handed game is performed, and the jackpot game is won in the dynamic display of the special figure 1. To realize a game property in which a ``super-probability variation state'', a ``probability variation state'' or a ``time shortening state'' will be accompanied according to the type of a jackpot while obtaining a game value by a jackpot game. In addition, in the "time shortening state", a right-handed game is recommended in advance as a game specification, and when the right-handed game is performed, how to dynamically display the special figure 2 while the winning assist state is valid? To realize the game property of whether or not to win a jackpot game. Furthermore, in the "probability fluctuation state", a right-handed game is recommended in advance as a game specification, and the next big-hit game will be what kind of big-hit type while the right-handed game is performed and the winning assistance state is maintained. Realize the playability of whether or not. Then, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", a right-handed game is recommended in advance as a game specification. Winning a small winning game based on the winning and making balls enter a small winning opening 72a increase the number of balls held, and winning a big winning game based on winning a second starting opening 64b is not made. The game specification is set in advance so as to realize the game property of how to continue the period of the "super-probability fluctuation state" for a long time.

Therefore, in the "normal game state", while the execution of the dynamic display of the special figure 1 based on the left-handed game is encouraged, in the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state", Execution of the dynamic display of special figure 2 based on right-handed games is encouraged. Here, if the game is not executed according to the game specifications described above, especially in the "normal game state", the dynamic display of the special figure 2 is executed while the dynamic display of the special figure 1 is also executed. If it is broken, a game result different from the ball payout rate based on the game specifications initially set may be derived, which may cause an unexpected disadvantage to the hall.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, in the "normal game state", when the total number of reserved special symbols is 5 or more, that is, the number of reserved special symbols 2 that are not encouraged is at least 1 In the case where multiple dynamic display of special figure 1 is suspended (for example, 4 pieces) after existing above, the dynamic display of the newly started special symbol (assuming that it was dynamic display of special figure 1 Also) is performed for a long time (for example, 5 minutes) to reduce the execution efficiency of the dynamic display of special symbols. By configuring in this way, when the ball is won to the second start port 64b that causes the dynamic display of the special figure 2 that is not encouraged as a game specification, the dynamic display of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 By reducing the execution efficiency of the display, the efficiency of giving the game value can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to make the player hesitate to execute the dynamic display of the special figure 2 in a game state where the execution of the dynamic display of the special figure 2 is not encouraged (that is, "normal game state"), It is possible to suppress the execution of a game different from the assumed game specifications and reduce the disadvantage to the hall.

In addition, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state", left-handed games are not encouraged as game specifications, but non-encouraged games (i.e., left-handed games) were performed. Even in this case, the game value obtained by the player is set to be lower than when playing the recommended game (that is, right-handed game). For this reason, since it is not a game mode that is disadvantageous to the game hall, no particular penalties are provided.

Here, with reference to FIG. 89, the details of the pending number table 272c will be described. FIG. 89 is a schematic diagram of the pending number table 272c. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when performing a variation effect based on the ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b, whether the change effect is appropriate, Based on the game state at that time and the total number of holdings of the fluctuation effects of the special figure 1 and special figure 2 at that time, the number of reservations table 272c is referred to, and one of the stop pattern tables 272d1 to 272d5 is selected. is configured to Then, based on one of the selected stop pattern tables 272d1 to 272d5 and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, a rough effect mode of the variable effect is determined.

Specifically, as shown in the reservation number table 272c of FIG. state”, “probability fluctuation state” or “time reduction state”, and when the total number of held balls is “1”, the A table 272d1 of the stop pattern table 272d (see FIG. 90(a) ) is selected.

Also, when extracting a loss in the "normal game state" and the number of retained balls is "4", or when extracting a loss in the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state" If there is and the number of held balls is "2 to 8", the B table 272d2 (see FIG. 90(b)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected.

Furthermore, when extracting a loss in the "normal game state" and the number of retained balls is "5 to 8", the C table 272d3 (see FIG. 90(c)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected. .

Also, when the jackpot is won (that is, when extracting the "16R probability variable jackpot", "6R probability variable jackpot" and "6R time-saving jackpot"), the stop pattern table 272d is displayed regardless of the game state or the number of pending balls. D table 272d4 (see FIG. 91(a)) is selected.

Furthermore, when winning a small hit (that is, when extracting a small winning game), the E table 272d5 (see FIG. 91 (b)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected regardless of the game state or the number of retained balls. be done.

That is, when any jackpot is won, the stop pattern table 272d (D table 272d4) is selected based only on the jackpot type regardless of the number of held balls or the game state at that time, and a small hit is won. In this case, the stop pattern table 272d (E table 272d5) is selected based only on winning the small win regardless of the number of held balls or the game state at that time, and either the big win or the small win is selected. Only when there is no winning (that is, when losing), the stop pattern table 272d (A table 272d1, B table 272d2 or C table 272d3) is selected based on the number of reserved balls and the game state at that time.

It should be noted that the stop pattern table 272d may be configured to differ according to the number of reserved balls even when a big win or a small win is won. For example, when a big win is won and the number of reserved balls is large, the stop pattern table 272d may be configured so that a relatively short variation pattern is likely to be selected.

In this case, for example, in each rendering mode in which "ready-to-reach display" is executed, a rendering mode in which only the time of the variable element of "high-speed fluctuation" is changed from 10 seconds to only 5 seconds is selected. . By configuring in this way, for example, when the variation production is started in a state where the maximum number of reserved balls of the first special symbol is four times, even if the variation element of "high-speed variation" is performed in 5 seconds, At the time when the variable element of the "high-speed variation" for 5 seconds ends (when the variable element of the "high-speed variation" for 5 seconds is recognized), the "ready-to-win display" may occur in the variation performance. Therefore, even if the variable element of "high-speed fluctuation" for 5 seconds is performed, the rendering mode in which the "reach display" other than the "non-reach (short)" rendering mode is executed is executed. By doing so, it is possible to make it impossible to know whether the variable performance will result in a big hit or a loss at the time of execution of the variable element of "high-speed variation" for 5 seconds.

Next, each stop pattern table 272d will be described with reference to FIGS. 90 and 91. FIG. FIG. 90 is a diagram showing a stop pattern table 272d that can be selected at the time of failure. FIG. 90(a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of an A table 272d1 of the stop pattern table 272d. (b) is a diagram schematically showing an example of the B table 272d2 of the stop pattern table 272d, and FIG. 90(c) is a diagram schematically showing an example of the C table 272d3 of the stop pattern table 272d. be. Also, FIG. 91 is a diagram schematically showing a stop pattern table 272d that is selected at the time of a big win or a small win, and FIG. 91(b) is a diagram schematically showing an example of the E table 272d5 of the stop pattern table 272d.

As shown in FIG. 90(a), in the A table 272d1 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is set to "0" to "74". , the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "75" to "94", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "95" to " 97", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "98" and "99". In addition, in the A table 272d1, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "non-reach (short)" effect mode and the "super long variation", and the "non-reach (short)" effect mode and It is set so that the "super long variation" effect mode is not selected.

Next, as shown in FIG. 90(b), in the B table 272d2 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is "0" to "74". , the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "75" to "94", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "95" to "97", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "98, 99". In addition, in the B table 272d2, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode and the "super long variation" effect mode, and the "non-reach (long)" effect is not assigned. The mode and the "super long variation" production mode are set so as not to be selected.

That is, in the A table 272d1, the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is 75%, the "normal reach" effect mode is 20%, the "super reach" effect mode is 3%, and the "special reach" effect mode is 2%. It is set to be a selection ratio. In addition, in the B table 272d2, the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is 75%, the "normal reach" effect mode is 20%, the "super reach" effect mode is 3%, and the "special reach" effect mode is 2%. It is set to be a selection ratio.

Therefore, the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is selected on the A table 272d1, and the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected instead of the "non-reach (long)" effect mode on the B table 272d2. is configured as

Therefore, it can be said that the A table 272d1 tends to have a comparatively longer variation time of the selected variation effect than the B table 272d2. In other words, it can be said that the B table 272d2 tends to shorten the variation time of the selected variation effect compared to the A table 272d1.

The selection ratios of the "normal reach" effect mode, the "super reach" effect mode and the "special reach" effect mode are set to be the same for the A table 272d1 and the B table 272d2.

In this way, when a losing lottery result is extracted, the production mode of the variable production is selected based on the number of pending balls of the variable production being held. For example, when the number of pending balls in the variable effect is large, a "non-reach (short)" effect mode with a short variable effect time is selected. Thus, when the number of pending balls of the variable performance is large, the execution time of the variable performance to be executed is shortened and the number of times of execution of the variable performance is increased, so that the execution efficiency of the variable performance can be improved.

Also, for example, when the number of suspended balls in the variable effect is small, in order to ensure the ball entry time to the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b, the "non-reach (short)" effect mode A "non-reach (long)" presentation mode with a long variable presentation time is selected. As a result, since the "non-reach (long)" effect mode with a longer variable effect time than when the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected, the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b can be performed. It becomes easy to secure the ball entry time to the ball, and by increasing the possibility that a new start winning will occur during the execution time of the variable performance in the third pattern display device 81, the situation where the variable performance is executed. can be maintained.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 90(c), in the C table 272d3 of the stop pattern table 272d, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is assigned only to the "super long variation" effect mode ("0" to "99"). , the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the effect modes in which other "losing display" or "ready-to-win display" is executed. Therefore, the stop type selected when the total reserved number of special symbols is 5 or more in the "normal game state" is set to always be the "super long variation" effect mode.

By configuring in this way, in the "normal game state", when the number of reserved special symbols is 5 or more, that is, when there are at least 1 or more reserved special symbols 2 that are not encouraged When the dynamic display of the special figure 1 is suspended more than once, the variable performance of the newly started special pattern (even if it is the dynamic display of the special figure 1) is performed for a long time (for example, 5 minutes). , is configured to reduce the execution efficiency of the variable performance of the special symbol. As a result, the execution efficiency of the variable performance of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is reduced when the ball is made to enter the second starting port 64b which is not encouraged as a game specification and the variation performance of the special figure 2 can be executed. As a result, the efficiency of giving game values can be reduced. As a result, in a gaming state in which the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2 is not encouraged, the player can win a prize (that is, the execution of the right-handed game) to the second start port 64b that triggers the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2. It is possible to make the player hesitate to play, suppress the execution of a game different from the game specification assumed for each game state, and reduce the disadvantage to the hole.

In the thirteenth embodiment, the stop pattern table 272d selected based on the number of balls held in the variable effect is configured to be different in the selection of the effect mode in the variable effect of losing, but the first start port 64a Alternatively, the determination of the variable performance based on the entry of the ball into the second starting port 64b and the determination of the variable performance based on the start of the variable performance based on the entry are performed so that substantially the same performance mode is selected. is configured to

Specifically, in the case of a losing variable performance, either one of the A table 272d1 or the B table 272d2 is selected based on the number of pending balls in the variable performance, but the A table 272d1 and B table 272d2, the value of the stop pattern counter C3 allocated to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode or the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is the same, and the value of the stop pattern counter C3 allocated to the other effect mode is the same. The values of the stop pattern counters C3 are also set to be the same.

That is, the only difference is whether the "non-reach (long)" production mode is selected or the "non-reach (short)" production mode is selected based on the number of balls held in the variable production. ” is different, but substantially the same presentation mode is selected. Therefore, the effect mode selected at the time of starting winning and the effect mode selected at the start of fluctuation are substantially the same effect mode even if the game state changes (for example, the number of held balls increases). is selected. As a result, even if a pre-reading notice such as "suspension change notice" is performed based on the presentation mode selected at the time of starting winning, the contents of the variable production to be executed are substantially the same, and the subject of the pre-reading notice In the variable effect that becomes , it is possible to execute an effect that does not cause any inconsistency with the content of the pre-reading notice.

Next, as shown in FIG. 91(a), in the D table 272d4 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "0" to "4", The range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "5" to "39", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "40" to " 99”. In the D table 272d4, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "special variation" rendering mode, and the "special variation" rendering mode is set not to be selected. In addition, the D table 272d4 is the stop pattern table 202d that is selected at the time of the big win, and since "ready-to-win display" always occurs, each "non-ready-to-win" effect mode is not selected.

Next, as shown in FIG. 91(b), in the E table 272d5 of the stop pattern table 272d, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is assigned only to the "special variation" effect mode ("0" to "99"). , the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the effect mode in which the other "ready-to-win display" is executed. Therefore, the stop type to be selected when a small win is won is always set to be the "special variation" presentation mode. In addition, since the E table 272d5 is the stop pattern table 272d selected at the time of the small winning, each "non-reach" effect mode is not selected.

That is, in the D table 272d4, the selection ratio is set to 5% for the "normal reach" effect mode, 35% for the "super reach" effect mode, and 60% for the "special reach" effect mode. Also, in the E-table 272d5, the "special variation" rendering mode is set to have a selection ratio of 100%.

Therefore, in the variation production at the time of winning the jackpot, the selection ratio is high in the order of “special reach” production mode > “super reach” production mode > “normal reach” production mode, and in the fluctuation production at the time of losing, “normal reach” production mode> The selection ratio is set to increase in the order of "super reach" effect mode > "special reach" effect mode. Therefore, the degree of expectation for a big win at the time of appearance of each "ready-to-win display" is high in the order of the "special ready-to-win" production mode>"super ready-to-win" production mode>"normal reach" production mode. configured to be Thus, the degree of expectation for the big win can be shown to the player by the performance mode of the variable performance, and the player can enjoy the exhilaration of the big win according to the performance mode of the executed variable performance.

From the above, the state in which the game is performed by determining the effect mode of the variable effect to be executed based on the propriety of the variable effect, the game state at that time, and the number of balls held in the variable effect at that time By shortening the execution time of the variable performance and increasing the number of times of execution of the variable performance based on, it is possible to select a performance mode that enhances the execution efficiency of the variable performance.

In addition, when the number of pending balls in the variable effect is large (for example, "4"), when the "reach display" is selected, the stop pattern in which the "high-speed fluctuation" effect element of each "reach display" is shortened A table 272d may be provided. Further, when the number of pending balls in the variable effect is large, a stop pattern table 272d may be provided in which the effect element of "low speed fluctuation" is omitted in each effect mode. Furthermore, a stop pattern table 272d may be provided in which the selection rate of each effect mode is completely different according to the number of pending balls in the variable effect. However, if the selection rate of each effect mode differs depending on the number of pending balls in the variable effect, in performing a pre-reading notice such as "holding change notice", the number of pending balls at the time of deciding the pre-reading notice execution The number of pending balls at the time of execution of the variable effect that is the target of the pre-reading notice may be different. In such a case, it is necessary to maintain consistency between the content of the pre-reading notice and the content of the variable effect, which makes the processing complicated.

Returning to FIG. 86, the description is continued. The fluctuation type counter CS1 is, for example, configured to be incremented by "1" in order within the range of "0 to 9" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "9"). The value of the variation type counter CS1 is updated once each time a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98), which will be described later, is executed, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time in the main process (see FIG. 17). Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting hole 64a, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 at that time is provided in the first reserved ball storage area 273d of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the first starting hole 64a. It is stored in the variation type counter storage area 273d4 of the first reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored among the first reservation first to fourth areas. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting hole 64b, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 at that time is provided in the second reserved ball storage area 273e of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the second starting hole 64b. It is stored in the variation type counter storage area 273e4 of the second reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored among the second reservation first to fourth areas.

This variation type counter CS1 is used to determine the detailed variation time (rough variation pattern) of the variation effect. That is, the MPU 271 of the main control device 110, in the effect mode selected by the stop pattern table 272d and the stop pattern selection counter C3, by the value of the variation type counter CS1 and the variation pattern table 272e stored in the ROM272, detailed Determine the time of variation. The audio ramp control device 113 and the display control device 114 determine the reach type of the third pattern displayed on the third pattern display device 81 and the detailed pattern variation mode based on the variation time determined by the variation type counter CS1. Also, the presence or absence of the execution of the notice effect and the execution mode of the notice effect are determined.

Thus, the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 selects a rough variation pattern of the variation effect and determines only the variation time. By configuring in this way, in the MPU 271 of the main control device 110, since it is not necessary to perform control such as detailed notice lottery necessary for executing the variable performance, the processing of the MPU 271 regarding the variable performance can be reduced. can. In addition, the main controller 110 does not need to prepare commands for all variation patterns of the variation effect, and the ROM capacity of the main controller 110 can be reduced.

Further, in the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, based on the variation time (rough variation pattern) determined by the main control device 110, by determining the detailed variation pattern in the variation performance, the variation performance You can increase your freedom of choice. Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 in which the game state changes from moment to moment, it is possible to select or change the effect content of the variable effect at any time corresponding to the change, and to execute an appropriate effect according to the game state. can.

Details of the variation pattern table 272e will now be described with reference to FIGS. 92 to 94. FIG. This pachinko machine 10 has a variation pattern table 272e for special figure 1 loss, which is commonly used in all game states when the first special symbol is lost, and a variation pattern table 272e1 for special figure 1 loss when the first special symbol is lost, and when the first special symbol is a big hit. Or when it is a small hit, it is used in the case of the special figure 1 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e2 that is commonly used in all game states, and when the second special symbol is lost, and in the case of the "normal game state". A variation pattern table 272e3 for special figure 2 losing, and a variation pattern table 272e4 for special figure 2 big hit / small hit used in the case of "normal game state" at the time of big hit or small hit of the second special symbol, When the second special symbol is lost, "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state" (hereinafter referred to as "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" Collectively, it may be referred to as "probability change / time reduction"), and the special figure 2 losing variation pattern table 272e5 used in the case of the second special symbol jackpot or small hit time "probability change / time reduction A variation pattern table 272e6 for special figure 2 big hit/small hit used in the case of "time" is prepared.

Figure 92 (a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of variation pattern table 272e1 for special figure 1 loss stored in ROM272, Figure 92 (b) is stored in ROM272 special figure 1 jackpot ・It is a diagram schematically showing an example of the variation pattern table 272e2 for a small hit, FIG. 93 (a) shows an example of the variation pattern table 272e3 for the special figure 2 loss for the "normal game state" stored in the ROM 272 FIG. 93(b) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4 for the "normal game state" stored in the ROM 272. There is, FIG. 94 (a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a variation pattern table 272e5 for special figure 2 loss for "probability variation / time saving" stored in ROM 272, FIG. 94 (b) It is the figure which showed typically an example of the variation pattern table 272e6 for special figure 2 big hits and small hits for "probability variation and time saving time" memorize|stored in ROM272. As shown in FIGS. 92 to 94, each variation pattern table 272e1 to 272e6 is grouped based on the selected effect mode.

Specifically, as the production mode at the time of losing, "E0: non-reach (long)" and "non-reach (short)" are referred to when the "non-reach (long)" production mode is determined. "E1: non-reach (short)" referred to when the mode is determined, "E2: normal reach" referred to when the "normal reach" production mode is determined, and "super reach" performance mode For "E3: Super Reach" referred to when is determined, "E4: Special Reach" for reference when the "Special Reach" production mode is determined, and "Super Long Fluctuation" production mode It is divided for "E5: super long fluctuation" which is referred to when it is determined. In addition, as the production mode at the time of the big hit / small hit, "E6: normal reach" which is referred when the "normal reach" production mode is decided and "super reach" which is referred when the production mode is decided For "E7: Super Reach", for "E8: Special Reach" that is referred to when the "Special Reach" production mode is determined, and "E9" that is referenced when the "Special Fluctuation" production mode is determined : for special fluctuations. A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each of the divided groups.

In the thirteenth embodiment, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the reservation area with the first reservation ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first special symbol is a value (jackpot random value) and a small hit value. If it is not (small hit random value), that is, if it is a value that becomes a loss, refer to the reservation number table 272c, based on the game state at that time and the number of balls reserved at that time. to select the stop pattern table 272d, and select an effect mode based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same reserved area and the stop pattern table 272d. Then, a group (group) to be referred to in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 is determined based on the selected effect mode. In the group (group) of the special figure 1 losing fluctuation pattern table 272e1, the fluctuation pattern (variation time) associated with the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the same reservation area was reserved in the reservation area. It is determined as a variation pattern in the variation production.

In the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 referred to when the first special symbol is lost, "E0: non-reach (long)" includes "high speed variation (long)" with an overall variation time of "15 seconds" "variation element + variation element of "low speed variation"" (variation time. Hereinafter, it is naturally possible to replace "variation pattern" with "variation time").

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E0: non-reach (long)" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high-speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low-speed fluctuation "Variation element of '" is "0 to 9", and only "Variation element of 'High speed variation (long)' + Variation element of 'Low speed variation'" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any gaming state, when the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 that is referred to when executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, the variation type counter CS1 is All possible values (“0 to 9”) are associated with “variation element of “high-speed variation (long)”+variation element of “low-speed variation””. That is, in the case of the "non-reach (long)" effect mode in the variable effect of the first special symbol, "high-speed change (long)" variable element + "low-speed change" variable element" is always selected as the variable pattern. be.

Here, each variable element constituting the variation pattern will be described. A variable element constitutes a part of one variable effect, and one variable effect is configured by combining each variable element. In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, as the variable elements, the variable element of "high speed variation", the variable element of "low speed variation", the variable element of "normal reach", the variable element of "super reach", the variable element of "special reach" Variables and "Revary" variables are provided.

The "high-speed fluctuation" variable element is a variable element that scrolls and fluctuates at high speed so that the player cannot clearly recognize the content of the third symbol. When the "non-reach (short)" production mode or the like is selected, the variable element of this "high-speed fluctuation" is performed for "5 seconds" at the beginning of the variable production (hereinafter referred to as "high-speed fluctuation (short)"). ), and when the “non-reach (long)” production mode is selected, “10 seconds” is performed at the beginning of the variable production (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “high-speed fluctuation (long)”), If the "super long variation" production mode is selected, "595 seconds" is performed at the beginning of the variation production (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "high speed fluctuation (ultra long)"), "3 seconds" is performed at the beginning of the variation effect of the second special symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "high-speed variation (ultra-short)"). It should be noted that when the "high-speed fluctuation" variable element ends, the later-described "low-speed fluctuation" variable element is started (executed), or the variable effect ends as it is.

The variable element of "low speed variation" is started after the variable element of "high speed variation" of "3 seconds", "5 seconds", "10 seconds" or "595 seconds" is executed, and the third symbol is visible It is a variable element that shows whether or not to generate a "reach display" by scrolling. This "low-speed fluctuation" variable element is not executed when the "non-reach (short)" production mode is selected, and production modes other than the "non-reach (short)" production mode (for example, "non-reach (long) )” presentation mode) is selected, it is performed for “5 seconds” after the variable element of “high-speed variation”.

That is, in the "non-reach (short)" effect mode, after the "high-speed variation" variable element is performed, each symbol row of the third symbol display device 81 rapidly moves without going through the "low-speed variation" variable element. is configured to stop (so-called bitter stop). In addition, when the variable element of this "low-speed variation" ends, the variable effect is completed as it is.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the "non-reach (long)" presentation mode includes the variable element of "high speed variation" of "10 seconds" and the variable element of "low speed variation" of "5 seconds". A variation production is configured with a variation pattern including. In addition, in the "non-reach (short)" effect mode, the variable effect is configured with a variation pattern of only the "high-speed variation" variable element of "5 seconds". Further, the ``ultra-long variation'' effect mode is composed of a variation pattern including a ``high speed variation'' variation element of ``595 seconds'' and a ``low speed variation'' variation element of ``5 seconds''.

The variation element of "normal reach" is the same symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "reach formation symbol") in the two symbol rows that stop first in the variation element of "low speed variation". It is a variable element that shows whether or not a big hit will occur depending on the result of the variation of the symbol row. This "normal reach" variation element is performed "5 seconds" after the "slow variation" variation element.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, after the execution of the variable element of "normal reach", the pattern of directly displaying the "loss display", the pattern of directly displaying the "jackpot display", and the pattern of "super reach". A pattern that develops into a variable element, a pattern that develops into a "special reach" variable element, and a pattern that once displays a temporary "loss display" and then executes a "re-fluctuation" variable element are prepared. It is

The variation element of "super reach" is developed and executed when the variation of the remaining symbol row continues without stopping the "loss display" in the variation element of "normal reach", and is executed in the third symbol display device 81 It is a variable element that shows whether or not a big hit will occur by performing a predetermined effect (for example, "battle effect"). This "super reach" variable is performed "10 seconds" after the execution of the "normal reach" variable.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, after the execution of the variable element of "super reach", a pattern that directly displays the "loss display", a pattern that directly displays the "jackpot display", and a temporary and a pattern in which the variable element of "re-variation" is executed after the "missing display" appears.

The variable element of "special reach" is developed and executed when the variation of the remaining symbol row continues without stopping the "loss display" in the variable element of "normal reach", and is executed in the third symbol display device 81. It is a variable element that shows whether or not a big hit will occur by performing a special effect (for example, "competition effect") different from the predetermined effect. This "special reach" variable element is performed "20 seconds" after the execution of the "normal reach" variable element.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, after the execution of the variable element of "special reach", a pattern that directly displays the "loss display", a pattern that directly displays the "jackpot display", and a temporary A pattern of "re-fluctuation" after the "failure display" appears is prepared.

In addition, it is configured to develop into a variable element of "super reach" or a variable element of "special reach" after executing the variable element of "normal reach", but instead of this configuration, reach formation after "low speed change" It may be configured such that when the symbols stop, the variable element of "super reach" or the variable element of "special reach" suddenly develops without going through the variable element of "normal reach". Further, the variable element of "special reach" may be performed after the variable element of "super reach" is executed.

The variable element of "re-variation" is a variable element that develops and is executed after the "losing display" once appears in any of the "ready-to-win display", and the "jackpot display" appears. The variable element of this "re-variation" is performed "5 seconds" after any "reach display".

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, a pattern is prepared in which a "big win display" or a "small win display" appears after execution of the variable element of "re-variation".

In addition, the variable element of this "re-variation" is configured to occur only when winning the big winning game or the small winning game. That is, in the case of the "missing display", the variable elements of the "re-variation" are not executed. This is because the variable element of "re-fluctuation" is a variable element that changes the temporarily displayed "loss display" to either "big hit display" or "small hit display", so winning a big hit or a small hit If you go in the case of the "missing display" that is not done, there will be a discrepancy in the production. Therefore, the variation element of this "re-variation" is selected only in the variation pattern tables 272e2, 272e4, 272e6 for the big hit/small hit (see FIGS. 92(b), 93(b) and 94(b)), The change pattern tables for losing 272e1, 272e3, and 272e5 (see FIGS. 92(a), 93(a) and 94(a)) are configured not to be selected.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E1: non-reach (short)" has 1 of "only "high-speed variation (short)" variation elements" with an overall variation time of "5 seconds" There are two variation patterns.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E1: non-reach (short)" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is for "only the fluctuation element of "fast fluctuation (short)"" are set to "0 to 9", and only "only the variable element of 'high-speed variation (short)'" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any game state, when the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, which is referred to when executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, the variation type counter CS1 is All possible values (“0 to 9”) are associated with “only “high-speed fluctuation (short)” fluctuation elements”. That is, in the case of the "non-reach (short)" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, "only the "high-speed fluctuation (short)" fluctuation element" is always selected as the fluctuation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E2: normal reach" includes "high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation element with an overall variation time of "20 seconds" + One variation pattern of “Normal reach” variation element” is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E2: normal reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "Normal reach" variable element" is "0 to 9", and only ""High speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any game state, when the "normal reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 that is referred to when executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, all possible variations of the variation type counter CS1 “High-speed variation (long)” variation element+“Low-speed variation” variation element+“Normal reach” variation element are associated with the value (“0 to 9”). In other words, in the case of the "normal reach" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, the fluctuation pattern must be ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element" is selected.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E3: Super Reach" includes ""high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation with an overall variation time of "30 seconds" One variation pattern of "element + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "super reach"" is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E3: Super Reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation "0 to 9" for "element + variable element of 'normal reach' + variable element of 'super reach'", and the variable element of "high speed fluctuation (long)" + variable element of "low speed fluctuation" + "normal reach" variable element + "super reach" variable element" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any gaming state, when the "super reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 that is referred to when executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, all that the variation type counter CS1 can take "High speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Super reach" variable element are associated with the value ("0 to 9") of It is In other words, in the case of the "super reach" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, the fluctuation pattern must be ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + Variable element of "super reach" is selected.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E4: Special Reach" includes ""high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation with an overall variation time of "40 seconds" One variation pattern of "element + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach"" is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E4: Special Reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high-speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low-speed fluctuation" fluctuation Element + variable element of 'normal reach' + variable element of 'special reach' is '0 to 9', and the variable element of 'high speed fluctuation (long)' + variable element of 'low speed fluctuation' + "Normal Reach" variable element + "Special Reach" variable element" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any gaming state, when the "special reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, which is referred to when executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, all that the variation type counter CS1 can take. "High speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Special reach" variable element are associated with the value ("0 to 9") of It is In other words, in the case of the "special reach" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, the fluctuation pattern must be ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "Variable element of 'special reach'" is selected.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E5: super long variation" includes "high speed variation (super long)" variation element + "low speed variation" with a total variation time of "600 seconds" One variation pattern of "Variation element of" is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E5: super long fluctuation" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (ultra long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" "0 to 9" for "Variation element of", and only "Variation element of "High-speed variation (ultra-long)"+Variation element of "Low-speed variation"" is set to be selectable.

That is, in any gaming state, when the "super long variation" effect mode is selected in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, which is referred to when the variation effect of the first special symbol is executed, the variation type counter CS1 can take. All values (“0 to 9”) are associated with “variation element of “high-speed variation (ultra-long)” + variation element of “low-speed variation””. In other words, in the case of the "ultra-long fluctuation" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, "variation element of "high-speed fluctuation (ultra-long)" + fluctuation element of "low-speed fluctuation"" is always selected as the fluctuation pattern. .

It should be noted that the variation pattern at the time of losing the special figure 1 is determined as the variation pattern as it is in the effect mode, so the variation pattern may be determined without using the variation type counter CS1. In addition, although selection is performed using only the fluctuation type counter CS1, a plurality of fluctuation type counters may be used together for selection (selection of presence/absence of advance notice display, etc.).

Next, with reference to FIG. 92(b), the variation pattern table 272e2 for special figure 1 big hit/small hit, which is referred to at the time of the big hit or the small hit of the first special symbol, will be described. In the thirteenth embodiment, when the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the reservation area with the first reservation ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first special symbol is a value that becomes a big hit or a value that becomes a small hit, By referring to the reserved number table 272c, the stop pattern table 272d is selected based on the game state at that time and the number of reserved balls at that time, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same reserved area is selected. An effect mode is selected based on the value and the stop pattern table 272d. Then, the group (group) to be referred to in the special figure 1 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e2 is determined based on the selected effect mode. In the group (group) of the special figure 1 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e2, the variation pattern (variation time) associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the same reservation area is It is determined as a variation pattern in the suspended variation performance.

In the special figure 1 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e2, "E6: normal reach" includes ""high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation with an overall variation time of "20 seconds" element + "normal reach" variable element" and ""high speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "normal reach" variable element with a total fluctuation time of "25 seconds" Two fluctuation patterns of "fluctuation element of fluctuation" are selectably prepared, and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is associated with each fluctuation pattern.

In the example shown in FIG. 92(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E6: normal reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "0 to 2" for "Normal reach" fluctuation element", ""High speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "Low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "Normal reach" fluctuation element + "Re-fluctuation" fluctuation "Element" is "3 to 9".

That is, in any gaming state, when the "normal reach" production mode is selected in the special figure 1 big hit/small hit fluctuation pattern table 272e2 that is referred to when executing the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, "high speed fluctuation (long )” fluctuation element + “low speed fluctuation” fluctuation element + “normal reach” fluctuation element” fluctuation pattern is 30%, ““high speed fluctuation (long)” fluctuation element + “low speed fluctuation” fluctuation element + “normal reach ' variable element+variable element of 're-variation'' is set to be selected at a ratio of 70%.

In addition, it is configured to select a variation pattern of "variation element of 'high-speed variation (ultra-long)' + variation element of 'low-speed variation' + variation element of 'normal reach' + variation element of 'super reach'". By doing so, it is possible to provide game characteristics in which a big win can be expected from any variation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4 referred to in the "normal game state", "E8: special reach" includes "high speed variation (super Long)" variable element + variable element of "low-speed variation" + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach"", and "high-speed variation (super long)" with a total variation time of "630 seconds" ” variable element + ”Low speed variation” variable element + ”Normal reach” variable element + ”Special reach” variable element + ”Revariation” variable element” A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with the variation pattern.

That is, when the "special reach" production mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit fluctuation pattern table 272e4 referred to when executing the second special symbol fluctuation production in the "normal game state", "high speed fluctuation (super long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "special reach" fluctuation element" fluctuation pattern is 50%, ""high speed fluctuation (ultra long)" fluctuation Element + "Low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "Normal reach" fluctuation element + "Special reach" fluctuation element + "Revariation" fluctuation element" fluctuation pattern is set to be selected at a rate of 50%. ing. In addition, the variation time of the second special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state" is configured to be selected to be extremely longer than the variation time of the first special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state". The time efficiency of the game is set to be very low (bad).

Therefore, although the time efficiency of the game is poor, in the "special reach" production mode selected at the time of the special figure 2 jackpot, "high speed fluctuation (ultra long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach " variable element + variable element of "special reach"" variation pattern and ""high speed variation (ultra long)" variable element + "low speed variation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "special reach" variation pattern The fluctuation pattern of "variation factor + "re-variation" fluctuation factor" is equally selected (50% each). As a result, it is possible to provide game characteristics in which a big win can be equally expected in any variation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit fluctuation pattern table 272e4 referred to in the "normal game state", "E9: special fluctuation" includes "high speed fluctuation (super Long)" variable element + variable element of "low speed variation" + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "revariation"".

In the example shown in FIG. 93(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E9: special fluctuation" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high-speed fluctuation (ultra-long)" fluctuation element + "low-speed fluctuation" "0 to 9" for the variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "special reach" variable element + "re-fluctuation" variable element, and the "high-speed fluctuation (ultra long)" Variable element + variable element of "low-speed variation" + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "re-variation"" are set to be selectable.

That is, when the "special variation" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4 referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect in the "normal game state", the variation type counter CS1 "High-speed fluctuation (ultra-long)" variable element + "low-speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" that can be selected in the "special reach" production mode for all possible values ("0 to 9") It is set so that the same variation pattern as the variation pattern of "variation element + variation element of 'special reach' + variation element of 're-variation'" is selected without exception. As a result, the variation of ""high-speed variation (ultra-long)" variation element + "low-speed variation" variation element + "normal reach" variation element + "special reach" variation element + "re-variation" variation element" In the pattern, both big wins and small wins can be expected, and a certain game value can be provided, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

In addition, the variation time of the second special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state" is configured to be selected to be extremely longer than the variation time of the first special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state". The time efficiency of the game is set to be very low (bad). By configuring in this way, when the ball is entered into the second starting port 64b in the "normal game state" and the variation performance of the second special symbol is executed, it is extremely long compared to the variation performance of the first special symbol. Time (that is, at least "595 seconds" or more) variation effect is executed, so the execution efficiency of the second special symbol variation effect in the "normal game state" is compared with the execution efficiency of the first special symbol, It's set up to be very bad. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the benefit (advantage) of making the second starting port 64b win in the "normal game state".

Furthermore, when the total reserved number of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is large, a very long variation time is selected in the variation time of the variation performance of the first special symbol. Therefore, even when trying to execute the variation performance of the first special symbol in a situation where the suspension of the variation performance of the second special symbol is accumulated, the time efficiency of the variation performance of the first special symbol can be deteriorated. , the benefit (merit) of winning the second starting port 64b in the "normal game state" can be further reduced. As a result, in a gaming state in which the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2 is not encouraged, the player can win a prize (that is, the execution of the right-handed game) to the second start port 64b that triggers the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2. It is possible to make the player hesitate to play, suppress the playing of a game different from the assumed game specifications, and reduce the disadvantage to the hole.

Next, with reference to FIG. 94 (a), "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state" (that is, "probability variation / time reduction") special figure 2 referred to when losing The change pattern table for losing 272e5 will be described. In the thirteenth embodiment, if the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the holding area with the second holding ball storage area 273e corresponding to the second special symbol is not a value for a big hit or a small hit, that is, it becomes a loss. If it is a value, the stop pattern table 272d is selected based on the game state at that point and the number of held balls at that point by referring to the reserved number table 272c, and stored in the same reserved area. An effect mode is selected based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the stop pattern table 272d. Then, the group (group) to be referred to in the special figure 2 losing variation pattern table 272e5 is determined based on the selected effect mode. In the group (group) of the special figure 2 losing fluctuation pattern table 272e5, the fluctuation pattern (variation time) associated with the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the same reservation area was reserved in the reservation area. It is determined as a variation pattern in the variation production.

In the variation pattern table 272e5 for the special figure 2 loss referred to by "probable variation / short time", "E0: non-reach (long)" includes "high-speed variation (ultra-short )”+variation element of “low speed variation”” is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 94(a), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E0: non-reach (long)" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" fluctuation element + "low speed "0 to 9" for the variable element of "variation", and only "variable element of "high-speed variation (ultra-short)" + variable element of "low-speed variation"" is set to be selectable.

That is, when the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 losing variation pattern table 272e5 referred to by "probability variation / time reduction", all values that the variation type counter CS1 can take ("0 9”) is associated with “variation element of “high-speed variation (ultra-short)” + variation element of “low-speed variation””. In other words, in the case of the "non-reach (long)" production mode in the variable production of the second special symbol in the "variable / time saving", the fluctuation pattern must be "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" fluctuation element + "low speed The variable 'variable element' is selected. As a result, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "probability variation / time saving" is the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation effect, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "normal game state" is configured to select a shorter time than , and the setting is such that the time efficiency of the game is high (good).

That is, when the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 losing variation pattern table 272e5 referred to by "probability variation / time saving", all values that the variation type counter CS1 can take ("0 to 9”) is associated with “only the variable element of “high-speed variation (ultra-short)””. In other words, in the case of the "non-reach (short)" production mode in the second special symbol fluctuation production in "probable variation / time reduction", the fluctuation pattern must be ""high-speed fluctuation (ultra-short)" fluctuation element only" selected.

In addition, the C table 272d3 is not assigned in the pending number table 272c in the variation effect of the second special symbol in the "probability variation/time saving". Therefore, in the variation production of the second special symbol in "probability variation / time reduction", since the "super long variation" production mode is not selected, the special figure 2 loss variation pattern table 272e5 referred to by "probability variation / time reduction" , the value of the variation type counter CS1 is not associated with the "super long variation" effect mode.

Next, with reference to FIG. 94(b), the variation pattern table 272e6 for the special figure 2 big hit/small hit referred to at the time of the big hit or the small hit of the second special symbol in the "probability variation/short time" will be described. In the thirteenth embodiment, when the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the holding area with the second holding ball storage area 273e corresponding to the second special symbol is a big hit value or a small hit value, By referring to the reserved number table 272c, the stop pattern table 272d is selected based on the game state at that time and the number of reserved balls at that time, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the same reserved area is selected. An effect mode is selected based on the value and the stop pattern table 272d. Then, based on the selected effect mode, the group (group) to be referred to in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 is determined.

In the example shown in FIG. 94(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E6: normal reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high-speed fluctuation (ultra-short)" fluctuation element + "low-speed fluctuation" fluctuation "0 to 2" for element + "Normal reach" variable element", ""High speed fluctuation (ultra-short)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Revariation" "3 to 9" for "variable factors".

That is, when the "normal reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 that is referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect in the "probability variation/time saving time", "high speed variation (ultra-short)” fluctuation element + “low-speed fluctuation” fluctuation element + “normal reach” fluctuation element” fluctuation pattern is 30%, ““high-speed fluctuation (ultra-short)” fluctuation element + “low-speed fluctuation” fluctuation It is set so that the variation pattern of "element + variation element of "normal reach" + variation element of "re-fluctuation"" is selected at a rate of 70%.

Therefore, in the "normal reach" production mode selected at the time of the special figure 2 jackpot of "variable / time saving", "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" The variation pattern of “variation factor + “revariation” variation factor” is likely to be selected (70% of the total). In addition, by configuring to select the variation pattern of “variation element of “high-speed variation (ultra-short)” + variation element of “low-speed variation” + variation element of “normal reach”, the game can be played efficiently in a short time. It is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be expected from any variation pattern while performing.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 referred to in "probable variation/short time", "E7: Super Reach" includes "fast variation ( "Variation element of "low speed variation" + variation element of "normal reach" + variation element of "super reach"" and "high speed variation (ultra short)" with a total variation time of "28 seconds" )" variable element + "low speed variation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "super reach" variable element + "re-fluctuation" variable element" are available for selection, A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each variation pattern.

That is, when the "super reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 that is referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect in "probability change/time saving", "high speed Fluctuation pattern of "Variation (ultra-short)" + "Low-speed fluctuation" + "Normal reach" + "Super reach" fluctuation pattern is 40%, "High-speed fluctuation (ultra-short)" Variable element + "low speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "super reach" variable element + "re-fluctuation" variable element" set to be selected at a rate of 60% It is As a result, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "probability variation / time saving" is the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation effect, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "normal game state" is configured to select a shorter time than , and the setting is such that the time efficiency of the game is high (good).

Therefore, in the "super reach" production mode selected at the time of the special figure 2 jackpot of "probable variation / time saving", "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" + variable element of “super reach” + variable element of “re-fluctuation”” is likely to be selected (60% of the total). In addition, it is configured to select a variation pattern of "variation element of 'high-speed variation (ultra-short)' + variation element of 'low-speed variation' + variation element of 'normal reach' + variation element of 'super reach'". As a result, it is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be expected from any variation pattern while the game is played efficiently in a short time.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit fluctuation pattern table 272e6 referred to in "probable change/short time", "E8: special reach" includes "high speed fluctuation ( "Variation element of ``low speed fluctuation'' + ``variation element of ``normal reach'' + ``variation element of ``special reach'''' and ``high speed fluctuation (ultra-short )" variable element + "low-speed variation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "special reach" variable element + "re-variation" variable element" are available for selection, A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each variation pattern.

In the example shown in FIG. 94(b), the correspondence between the variation pattern in "E8: Special Reach" and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is "high-speed variation (ultra-short)" variation element + "low-speed variation" Variable element + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach" "0 to 4", "variable element of "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" + variable element of "low speed fluctuation" + "normal reach" "variable element + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "re-variation"" is "5 to 9".

That is, when the "special reach" production mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e6 that is referred to when executing the second special symbol fluctuation production in "probability variation / time saving time", "high speed "Variation (ultra-short)" variation element + "Low-speed variation" variation element + "Normal reach" variation element + "Special reach" variation element" variation pattern is 50%, "High-speed variation (ultra-short)" variation pattern Variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Special reach" variable element + "Revariation" variable element" set to be selected at a rate of 50% It is As a result, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "probability variation / time saving" is the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation effect, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation effect of "normal game state" is configured to select a shorter time than , and the setting is such that the time efficiency of the game is high (good).

Therefore, in the "special reach" production mode selected at the time of the special figure 2 jackpot of "variable / time saving", "high speed fluctuation (ultra short)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" variation element + variation element of "special reach"" variation pattern and ""high speed variation (ultra-short)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation element + "normal reach" variation element + "special reach" variation The fluctuation patterns of the element + the fluctuation element of "re-fluctuation" are equally selected (50% each). As a result, it is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be equally expected in any variation pattern that is more time efficient than the "normal game state".

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 referred to in "probability variation/short time", "E9: special variation" includes "high speed variation ( One variation pattern of "Variation element only for ultra-short)" is prepared.

In the example shown in FIG. 94(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E9: special fluctuation" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is " 0 to 9", and it is set so that only "only the variable elements of 'high-speed variation (ultra-short)'" can be selected.

That is, when the "special variation" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect in "probability variation/time saving", the variation type counter Same as the variation pattern of `` only `` high-speed variation (ultra-short) '' variation elements that can be selected in the `` non-reach (short) '' production mode for all values (`` 0 to 9 '') that CS1 can take It is set so that all fluctuation patterns are selected.

As a result, when a small hit is won in the second special pattern in the "probable variation / time saving time", only the "high-speed variation (ultra-short)" variation element that is the most time-efficient among the variation patterns that can be selected ] is executed without omission, it is possible to quickly execute small hits that occur frequently in the second special symbol in the “probability variation / time saving”. As a result, a right-handed game is performed in "probability variation / time reduction", a small winning game is frequently played in the variation performance of the second special symbol, and a ball is won in the small winning opening 72a, so that the player's ball is increased. It is possible to realize a game property that gradually increases.

In addition, in the "probability variable/time reduction", the variable time that can be selected is configured to be easily shorter than in the "normal game state". Therefore, in the "probability variable/short time", it is possible to consume the variable performance in a time efficient manner, and it is possible to improve the amusement of the game by executing a refreshing performance.

It should be noted that the variation pattern in the case of winning a small prize is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, when a small hit is won in the first special symbol lottery in the "normal game state", a specially provided special effect may be performed, or the "probability fluctuation A configuration may be adopted in which a long variation pattern (for example, a variation pattern selected in a "special reach" effect mode) is performed when a small hit is won by lottery in the second special symbol in the "state".

Returning to FIG. 86, the description is continued. The random number counter C4 per normal figure is configured as a loop counter that is incremented by one within the range of, for example, "0 to 99" and returns to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "99"). Also, when the random number counter C4 per normal pattern makes one round, the value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the random number counter per normal pattern C4.

In addition, the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the random number counter C4 per normal pattern (value = "0 to 99"), and timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) It is updated once and repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main processing (see FIG. 17).

The value of the random number counter C4 per normal figure is updated periodically (in the thirteenth embodiment, once per timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98)), and it is detected that the ball has passed through the through gate 67. At the timing, it is stored in one of the general pattern reservation first to fourth areas provided in the general pattern reservation ball storage area 273i of the RAM 273 in the general pattern reservation area. Then, the data is sequentially shifted to the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j in the order stored in the normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i, and the value of the normal pattern random number counter C4 stored in the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j. Make a hit judgment against it.

The value of the random number that becomes the hit of the normal pattern is set by the normal pattern random number table 272f (see FIG. 95(a)) stored in the ROM 272 of the main control device 110 for each game state, and the normal pattern holding ball execution If the value of the counter C4 per normal pattern stored in the area 273j matches the value of the random number set by the random number table 272f per normal pattern, it is determined to be a hit. Then, according to the game state, the normal pattern variation table 272g (see FIG. 95(b)) is referred to, the normal pattern variable display time is set, and the normal pattern display device 83 stops after the variable display time elapses. As a symbol (ordinary symbol), the symbol "○" is illuminated. After that, the electric role opening table 272h (see FIG. 95(c)) is referred to according to the game state to set the opening time of the normal electric role 64c, and the ordinary electric role 64c is opened during the opening time. During this time, the ball can be entered into the second starting port 64b.

On the other hand, if the value of the counter C4 per general pattern stored in the general pattern reservation area does not match the value of the random number that is set by the random number table 272f per general pattern, it is determined to be lost. Then, according to the game state, the variable display time is set by referring to the normal pattern fluctuation table 272g (see FIG. 95(b)), and after the variable display time has passed in the normal pattern display device 83, the stop pattern (normal pattern ), the symbol “x” is illuminated.

Here, with reference to FIG. 95(a), the details of the per-universal pattern random number table 272f will be described. FIG. 95(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a random number table 272f per normal pattern stored in the ROM 272. FIG.

As described above, the normal symbol random number table 272f is a normal symbol low probability state (“probability fluctuation state” or “time For a ``normal pattern low probability state'' used in the case of a period (including during a special pattern jackpot) which is not a ``shortened state'', and when the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is normal patterns rather than the ``normal pattern low probability state''. It is divided into two types, one for "normal pattern high probability state" used in the case of "probability change state" or "time reduction state" which is a state with a high probability of winning. Then, the number of random numbers to be hits included in each of the "normal symbol low probability state" and the "normal symbol high probability state" is set differently. In this way, by making the number of random numbers to be hit different between the "normal design low probability state" and the "normal design high probability state", the "normal design low probability state" and the "normal design high probability state" , the probability of winning is changed.

As shown in FIG. 95(a), in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the number of values of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern that becomes a hit in the case of the "normal pattern low probability state" is 50, and the value " 50 to 99” are defined (set) in the random number table 272f per normal pattern. In other words, the normal symbol hit probability in the "normal symbol low probability state" (that is, "normal game state" or "super-probability fluctuation state") is set to be 50/100=1/2.

On the other hand, the number of values of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern is 99, and the value "1 to 99" is defined (set) in the random number table 272f per normal pattern. It is In other words, the normal symbol hit probability in the "normal symbol high probability state" (that is, "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state") is set to be 99/100.

Thus, by changing the win/loss probability of the normal symbols according to the game state, it is possible to make a difference as to whether or not the normal electric combination 64c is likely to be released (immersed). As a result, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, the normal electric 64c is easily opened (immersed), so that the second start opening 64b side can be won, or the ordinary electric 64c is opened ( It is possible to create different game characteristics for each game state by making the state in which it is difficult for the ball to enter the second starting port 64b due to the situation in which it is difficult to enter the game.

In particular, in the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" where right-handed games are encouraged, "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" become "normal pattern high probability state" , The normal electric combination 64c is easily opened, and the ball fired by the right-handed game is configured to easily enter the second starting port 64b. In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "variable probability state" and the "shortened time state" is configured to easily enter the second starting hole 64b and hardly enter the small winning hole 72a. On the other hand, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", it becomes a "normal symbol low-probability state", and the normal electric combination 64c is difficult to open, and the ball fired by the right-handed game rolls all the way from the right end to the left end on the normal electric combination 64c. , to the side of the small prize winning opening 72a. In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "super-probability fluctuation state" is less likely to enter the second starting hole 64b than in the "probability fluctuation state" and "shorter time state", and is more likely to enter the small prize-winning hole 72a. It is configured.

Next, with reference to FIG. 95(b), the details of the normal pattern variation table 272g for determining the variable display time of normal patterns will be described. FIG. 95(b) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a normal pattern fluctuation table 272g stored in the ROM 272. As shown in FIG.

The general pattern variation table 272g is divided into two types for "normal symbol low probability state" and "normal symbol high probability state" similarly to the normal symbol per random number table 272f. And for "normal symbol low probability state" (that is, for "normal game state" and "super probability fluctuation state") and for "normal symbol high probability state" (that is, "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" The variable display time of the normal design set by ) is set differently. In this way, by differentiating the variable display time of the normal design between the "low normal design probability state" and the "normal high probability state", the "normal low probability state" and the "normal high probability state", The time at which the success/failure result of normal symbols is derived is changed.

As shown in FIG. 95(b), in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the normal symbol variable display time set in the case of the "normal symbol low probability state" is set to "5 seconds". It is defined in the fluctuation table 272g. In other words, the time from the start of variable display of the normal symbols to the derivation of the stop symbols in the "normal symbol low probability state" is set to be "5 seconds" without exception.

On the other hand, the normal symbol variable display time set in the case of the "normal symbol high probability state" is defined in the normal symbol variation table 272g so as to be "0.5 second". That is, the time from the start of variable display of normal symbols to the derivation of stop symbols in the "normal symbol high probability state" is set to be "0.5 seconds" without exception.

Thus, by changing the variable display time of the normal symbol according to the game state, it is possible to determine whether or not the ball rolling on the normal electric part 64c is in a situation where the variable display result is likely to be derived during rolling. can be generated. As a result, when the ball passes through the through gate 67 and the variable display of the normal pattern based on the passage is executed, while it rolls on the upper surface of the normal electrode 64c from the right end to the left end (that is, about 3 seconds), a variable display result is derived, and based on the derived result, the state in which the normal electrode 64c is opened (immersed), or while the normal electrode 64c is rolling from the right end to the left end on the upper surface of the normal electrode 64c By making the state in which the ball completely rolls from the right end to the left end on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c without deriving the variable display result different depending on the game state, it is possible to create different game characteristics for each game state. .

In particular, in the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" where right-handed games are encouraged, "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" become "normal pattern high probability state" , While the ball is rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric wheel 64c, the normal electric wheel 64c is in an open (immersed) state, and the ball fired by the right-handed game can enter the second start port 64b. is configured as In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "variable probability state" and the "shortened time state" is configured to easily enter the second starting hole 64b and hardly enter the small winning hole 72a. On the other hand, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", it becomes a "normal symbol low-probability state", and while the ball is rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c, the normal electric element 64c tends to maintain the closed (protruding) state. , a ball shot in a right-handed game rolls all the way from the right end to the left end on the normal electric roller 64c, and is configured to flow down to the small winning opening 72a side. In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "super-probability fluctuation state" is less likely to enter the second starting hole 64b than in the "probability fluctuation state" and "shorter time state", and is more likely to enter the small prize-winning hole 72a. It is configured.

Next, referring to FIG. 95(c), the electrician release table 272h will be described. FIG. 95(c) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of the electric power release table 272h stored in the ROM 272. As shown in FIG. The electric combination opening table 272h is referred to when a normal symbol win occurs, and the opening (immersion) time and the number of opening times of the normal electric combination 64c are defined based on the gaming state at the timing when the normal symbol win occurs.

The electric role open table 272h is divided into groups based on the gaming state in which the normal symbols are drawn. Specifically, for "normal pattern low probability state" referred to by "normal game state" and "super probability fluctuation state", "normal The opening mode (number of times and time) of the normal electric part 64c is changed for "symbol high probability state".

As shown in FIG. 95(c), in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when a normal symbol is won in the "normal symbol low probability state", that is, the "normal game state" or the "super-probability fluctuation state", The set number of openings of the normal electric power supply 64c is "1 time", and the opening time is defined in the electric power opening table 272h so as to be "0.1 second". That is, when the normal symbol is won in the "normal symbol low probability state", the normal electric combination 64c is set to be released for a total of "0.1 second".

On the other hand, the number of opening times of the normal electric role 64c is set to "3 times" when the normal symbol is won in the "normal symbol high probability state", that is, the "probability fluctuation state" or the "time reduction state". The electric power release table 272h defines the release time to be "5 seconds". In other words, when the normal symbol is won in the "normal electric role high probability state", the normal electric role 64c is configured to be released for a total of "15 seconds".

The closing time (so-called interval time) between one opening of the ordinary power supply 64c and the next opening is set to be "1 second". Therefore, when the normal symbol is won in the "normal symbol high probability state", the opening and closing of the normal electric combination 64c are intermittently repeated for a total of "17 seconds".

As a result, by changing the open mode of the normal electric part 64c according to the game state, it is possible to make a difference in the length of the period during which the normal electric part 64c is open (immersed). As a result, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, the period in which the ordinary electric member 64c is open (immersed) is long, so that it is easy to enter the second starting port 64b side, or the ordinary electric member 64c is open. It is possible to create a different playability for each game state by making it difficult for the ball to enter the second starting port 64b due to the short (immersive) state depending on the game state.

In particular, in the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" where right-handed games are encouraged, "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state" become "normal pattern high probability state" , The open period of the normal electric combination 64c is lengthened, and the ball launched by the right-handed game is configured to easily enter the second starting port 64b. In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "variable probability state" and the "shortened time state" is configured to easily enter the second starting hole 64b and hardly enter the small winning hole 72a. On the other hand, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", it becomes "normal symbol low-probability state", the opening period of the normal electric role 64c is shortened, and the ball fired by the right-handed game does not enter the second start port 64b. , to the side of the small prize winning opening 72a. In other words, a ball hit to the right in the "super-probability fluctuation state" is less likely to enter the second starting hole 64b than in the "probability fluctuation state" and "shorter time state", and is more likely to enter the small prize-winning hole 72a. It is configured.

In this way, by providing four game states in which the high probability state or low probability state of special symbols and the high probability state or low probability state of normal symbols are respectively combined, the game characteristics are changed in each game state, A wide variety of games can be provided, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, the hit probability of variable display of normal symbols and the variable display time of variable display are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, any ratio may be used as long as it is easier to win normal symbols in the "probability fluctuation state" than in the "normal game state". may be set to about 1/100 to make it difficult to hit, or the probability of winning a normal symbol in the "probability fluctuation state" may be set to about 50/100=1/2. Also, if the variable display time is shorter in the "probability fluctuation state" than in the "normal game state", it may be any time, for example, the variable display time of normal symbols in the "normal game state" is "5 seconds" or more. may be a long time (for example, "30 seconds") or a short time (for example, "1 second") less than "5 seconds".

Moreover, the open time and the number of open times of the ordinary electric circuit 64c are not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, as the opening time of the normal electric role 64c, any opening time may be used as long as the opening time is more advantageous for the player in the "variable probability state" than in the "normal game state". The opening time of the normal electric role 64c in the "game state" may be set to "0.1 seconds" or more (eg, "1 second"), or the number of openings may be set to "1 time" or more (eg, "3 times"). ) may be set. In addition, the opening time of the ordinary electric terminal 64c in the "variable probability state" may be a long time of "5 seconds" or more (eg, "10 seconds") or a short time of less than "5 seconds" (eg, "1 seconds”). Furthermore, the number of opening times of the ordinary electric terminal 64c in the "probability fluctuation state" may be a large number of "3 times" or more (for example, "10 times"), or a small number of times less than "3 times" (for example, "1 times”).

Returning to FIG. 85, the description is continued. In addition to the counter buffer 273c shown in FIG. 86, the RAM 273 includes a stack area for storing the contents of the internal registers of the MPU 271 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 271, various flags and counters, input/output It also has a work area (work area) in which values such as output (Input/Output, hereinafter abbreviated as “I/O”) are stored. The RAM 273 is configured to retain (back up) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply 115 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off, and all the data stored in the RAM 273 is backed up. .

When power is interrupted due to power failure or the like, the RAM 273 stores the stack pointer and the values of each register at the time of the power interruption (including the time of power failure; the same shall apply hereinafter). On the other hand, when the power is turned on (including when the power is turned on due to the cancellation of the power failure; the same applies hereinafter), the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power was cut off based on the information stored in the RAM 273 . Writing to the RAM 273 is executed by the main process (see FIG. 17) when the power is turned off, and restoration of each value written in the RAM 273 is executed by the start-up process (see FIG. 54) when the power is turned on. The NMI terminal of the MPU 271 is configured to receive a power failure signal SG1 from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 when power is shut off due to a power failure or the like. NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. 15) is immediately executed as power failure processing.

The RAM 273 further includes a first held ball number counter 273a, a second held ball number counter 273b, a first held ball storage area 273d, a second held ball storage area 273e, a first held ball execution area 273f, and a second held ball execution area. It has at least an area 273g, a normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h, a normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i, and a normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j.

The first holding ball number counter 273a counts the number of balls entered into the first starting port 64a (hereinafter referred to as the first The entry of the ball into the opening 64a or the second starting opening 64b may be referred to as "starting winning"), the dynamic display of the first special symbol performed by the special symbol display device 39 (the third symbol display device It is a counter that counts up to 4 times the number of pending balls (number of waiting times) of the variable performance of the third symbol corresponding to the first special symbol performed at 81).

This first reserved ball number counter 273a is set to "0" as an initial value by the initial setting process (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 273 after the power is turned on. Then, every time the starting winning to the first starting port 64a is detected and the number of pending balls in the dynamic display (variable effect) related to the first special symbol increases, 1 is added up to the maximum value "4" (Fig. 100 (see S5303 of ). On the other hand, the first reserved ball number counter 273a is decremented by 1 each time the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the first special symbol is executed (see S5512 in FIG. 103).

The second reserved ball number counter 273b, like the first reserved ball number counter 273a, is the second starting port 64b detected in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) that is periodically executed every 4 milliseconds. Suspension of dynamic display of the second special symbol performed by the special symbol display device 39 (fluctuation performance of the third symbol corresponding to the second special symbol performed by the third symbol display device 81) based on the start winning It is a counter that counts the number of balls (waiting times) up to four times.

As with the first reserved ball number counter 273a, the second reserved ball number counter 273b is set to "0" as an initial value by the initial setting process (S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 273 after the power is turned on. Then, every time the start winning to the second starting port 64b is detected and the number of pending balls in the dynamic display (variation effect) related to the second special symbol increases, 1 is added up to the maximum value "4" (Fig. 100 (see S5307 of ). On the other hand, the second reserved ball number counter 273b is decremented by 1 each time the second special symbol dynamic display (fluctuation effect) is executed (see S5542 in FIG. 105).

The value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (that is, the number of reserved balls of the first special symbol) or the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (that is, the number of reserved balls of the second special symbol) is the number of reserved balls command to the audio lamp controller 113 (see S5310 in FIG. 100). The pending ball number command is transmitted from the main controller 110 to the sound lamp controller 113 each time the first pending ball number counter 273a or the second pending ball number counter 273b is incremented by 1 after the start winning is detected. command.

The voice lamp control device 113 can acquire the value of the number of reserved balls itself of the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the first special symbol or the second special symbol reserved by the main controller 110 by the reserved ball number command. can. Thereby, in the sound lamp control device 113, it is possible to manage the number of suspensions of dynamic display (variation effect) of each special symbol without accessing the main control device 110. FIG. In addition, each time a starting winning is detected, by transmitting a pending ball number command from the main controller 110 to the voice ramp control device 113, dynamic display (variation) of each special symbol managed by the voice ramp control device 113 Even if the number of pending balls in the production) deviates from the number of pending balls in the actual dynamic display (variable production) held in the main control device 110 due to the influence of noise or the like, the next received hold The number of balls command can correct the deviation.

Further, in the thirteenth embodiment, when the main controller 110 transmits a pending ball number command to the sound lamp control device 113, in the pending ball number command, 1 is added to the first pending ball number counter 273a or the In addition to the value of the 2 reserved ball number counter 273b, the counter buffer 273c (see FIG. 86) is generated in accordance with the above-mentioned starting prize that triggered the addition of the first reserved ball number counter 273a or the second reserved ball number counter 273b. Each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 obtained from is also included.

That is, when there is a start winning, each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the variation type counter CS1 acquired from the counter buffer 273c in the main control device 110 is A number command is communicated to the audio ramp controller 113 .

In the voice lamp control device 113, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 transmitted by the pending ball number command are used to execute fluctuation effects based on the respective values. Before execution of the variable performance, it is determined what will happen to the variable performance (whether it will be a big hit, what will happen to the variable time, etc.). Then, based on the result of determination by the look-ahead, it is possible to determine the execution of various effects, and to determine the contents and execution timing (timing) of the "holding change notice".

It should be noted that a configuration may be adopted in which a pending ball number command indicating the pending ball number of the variable effect and a command indicating the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 or the like are separately transmitted. As a command indicating the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 or the like different from the reserved ball number command, the reserved ball number command is generated at the timing of the ball entering the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b, and the A command similar to the variation pattern command and stop type command (advance variation pattern command and pre-stop type command) based on the incoming ball may be generated and transmitted to the sound ramp control device 113 . In this case, regarding the program for generating the advance variation pattern command and the advance stop type command, by using the program for the variation pattern command and the stop type command, it is possible to easily create the program.

As described above, the first reserved ball storage area 273d includes a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, and a stop pattern selection counter C3 acquired from the counter buffer 273c upon detection of the start winning to the first start port 64a. , a memory for storing each value of the variation type counter CS1. When the MPU 271 detects that the ball has entered the first starting port 64a (start winning) in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are read from the counter buffer 273c. It is acquired and stored in the first reserved ball storage area 273d. The first reserved ball storage area 273d stores (holds) data corresponding to one starting prize in the first special symbol (values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1) for up to four times. It has areas (first reservation first to fourth areas) (see FIG. 86).

As described above, the second reserved ball storage area 273e includes a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, and a stop pattern selection counter C3 obtained from the counter buffer 273c upon detection of the start winning to the second start port 64b. , a memory for storing each value of the variation type counter CS1. When the MPU 271 detects that the ball has entered the second starting port 64b (start winning) in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are read from the counter buffer 273c. It is acquired and stored in the second reserved ball storage area 273e. The second reserved ball storage area 273e stores (holds) data corresponding to one start winning of the second special symbol (values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1) for up to four times. It has areas (second reservation first to fourth areas) (see FIG. 86).

The first reserved ball execution area 273f, as described above, starts execution, or the big hit lottery or small lottery of the first special symbol being executed, the operation of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 It is a memory for storing data (values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1) to be referred to in processes such as target display and variable effect setting.

When the MPU 271 detects that it is the execution start timing of the variation effect of the first special symbol, the big winning lottery or the small winning lottery of the first special symbol, dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 and In order to execute processing such as setting of variable effect, among the data corresponding to the start winning stored in the above-described first reserved ball storage area 273d (each value of counters C1 to C3, CS1), the oldest start The data corresponding to winning a prize is shifted to this first reserved ball execution area 273f. Note that the shift in the thirteenth embodiment indicates moving data stored in one area to another area.

The second reserved ball execution area 273g, as described above, starts execution, or the second special symbol jackpot lottery or small lottery that is being executed, the operation of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 It is a memory for storing data (values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1) to be referred to in processes such as target display and variable effect setting.

When the MPU 271 detects that it is the execution start timing of the variation effect of the second special symbol, the big winning lottery or the small winning lottery of the second special symbol, dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 and In order to execute processing such as setting of variable effects, among the data corresponding to the start winning stored in the above-described second reserved ball storage area 273e (each value of counters C1 to C3, CS1), the data The data corresponding to one starting prize is shifted to this second reserved ball execution area 273g.

Here, referring to FIG. 86 again, the details of the first reserved ball storage area 273d, the second reserved ball storage area 273e, the first reserved ball execution area 273f, and the second reserved ball execution area 273g will be described. The first reserved ball storage area 273d, the second reserved ball storage area 273e, the first reserved ball execution area 273f, and the second reserved ball execution area 273g are used for the first special symbol or second special symbol jackpot lottery, small winning lottery, It is used by the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 in order to set the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 and the variable effects.

As described above, the big winning lottery and small winning lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 and the setting of the variable effect are used for the big winning lottery. A jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2 used to determine the jackpot type, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used to determine the performance mode of the variable performance, and a variation type counter CS1 used to determine the variation pattern. Used. The first reserved ball storage area 273d and the first reserved ball execution area 273f are the counters C1 to C3, CS1 obtained from the counter buffer 273c by the MPU 271 when the ball enters the first starting port 64a (start winning). , and the second reserved ball storage area 273e and the second reserved ball execution area 273g are acquired from the counter buffer 273c by the MPU 271 when the ball enters the second starting port 64b (start winning). Each value of the above counters C1 to C3 and CS1 is stored.

The first reserved ball storage area 273d is composed of four reserved areas (first reserved first to fourth areas). Each of the four reservation areas (first reservation first to fourth areas) has a jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type counter storage area that stores the value of the jackpot type counter C2. 273d2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 273d4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1.

The second reserved ball storage area 273e is composed of four reserved areas (second reserved first to fourth areas), like the first reserved ball storage area 273d. Each of the four reservation areas (second reservation first to fourth areas) has a jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type counter C2, similar to the first reservation ball storage area 273d. A jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 that stores the value of , a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 that stores the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 273e4 that stores the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided. It is

In the thirteenth embodiment, the jackpot random number counter storage areas 273d1 and 273e1, the jackpot type counter storage areas 273d2 and 273e2, the stop pattern selection counter storage areas 273d3 and 273e3, and the fluctuation type counter storage areas 273d4 and 273e4 are set to 1. Although each of the reserved ball storage areas 273d and 273e is collectively provided, a plurality of reserved ball storage areas may be provided for each of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1.

As described above, in the first reserved ball storage area 273d, up to four data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1) obtained at the timing when the ball enters the first starting port 64a (start winning) is stored. In that case, data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) among the empty areas of the 4 reservation areas (1st reservation 1st to 4th areas). remembered. That is, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the start winning to the first starting port 64a that is older in terms of time is stored, and the first reserve first area stores the data to the first starting port 64a that is the oldest in terms of time. , the data corresponding to the start winning will be stored.

Also, the first reserved ball execution area 273f is composed of only one area. Like the first reserved ball storage area 273d, the first reserved ball execution area 273f includes a jackpot random number counter storage area 273f1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type that stores the value of the jackpot type counter C2. A counter storage area 273f2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273f3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 273f4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided.

When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variation effect of the first special symbol, the first When data is stored in the first reserved first area of the reserved ball storage area 273d, the data stored in the first reserved first area is stored in each area 273f1 to the first reserved ball execution area 273f. 273f4 respectively.

Then, the data shifted to the first reserved ball execution area 273f is referenced in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (see FIG. 103), and the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery are performed based on the reference data and the game state. , determine the variation pattern and stop type corresponding to the lottery result. In the special symbol display device 39, dynamic display is performed under the control of the main controller 110 based on the determined variation pattern and stop type.

In addition, the variation pattern and the stop type determined here are notified to the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 by the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop category command. Then, under the control of the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, in the third symbol display device 81, based on the variation pattern and stop type notified by the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, Variation production of the first special symbol is performed.

The details of data shift will be explained. When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variable effect of the first special symbol, the MPU 271 determines whether or not data is stored in the first reserved first area of the first reserved ball storage area 273d. As a result of determination, if data is stored in the first reservation first area, the random value of the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of the first reservation first area is stored in the jackpot random number counter storage of the first reservation ball execution area 273f. Shift to area 273f1. Similarly, the random value of the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2 of the first reservation first area is shifted to the jackpot type counter storage area 273f2, and the random value of the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 of the first reservation first area is It shifts to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273f3, and shifts the random value of the fluctuation type counter storage area 273d4 of the first reservation first area to the fluctuation type counter storage area 273f4.

Then, when the data shift to the first reserved ball execution area 273f is completed, the first reserved first area becomes empty, so it is stored in each area (second to fourth) of the first reserved ball storage area 273d. Shift processing is performed to move the (suspended) data to areas (first to third) with area numbers one smaller. In the thirteenth embodiment, data is shifted only for the first reserved areas (first to fourth) in which data is stored (reserved) in the first reserved ball storage area 273d.

Here, data shift performed for each reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d will be described. For example, the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a when it is determined to start the variable effect of the first special symbol is "4", and all areas (first to fourth) of the first reserved ball storage area 273d ) is stored with data. In this state, the data in the first reserved first area is shifted to the first reserved ball execution area 273f, and when the first reserved first area becomes empty, the MPU 271 moves to other areas (second to fourth) , are shifted to areas (1st to 3rd) whose area number is 1 smaller. That is, the data in the first reserved second area is shifted to the first reserved first area, the data in the first reserved third area is shifted to the first reserved second area, the data in the first reserved fourth area to the first reserved third area.

Also, for example, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a when the start determination of the first special symbol fluctuation effect is made is "2", the MPU 271 only stores the data of the first reserved second area. , shift to the first reserved first area to finish shifting the data. As described above, in the thirteenth embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the first reservation areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (reserved), so the number of data shifts is reduced. can reduce the control burden.

It should be noted that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data in the first reservation area (second to fourth) may be configured to be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not data is stored (reserved) in the first reservation area (second to fourth), so that it is possible to easily create a program.

Next, in the second reserved ball storage area 273e, up to four data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1) obtained at the timing when the ball enters the second starting port 64b (start winning) is stored. In that case, the data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) among the vacant areas of the 4 reservation areas (2nd reservation 1st to 4th areas). be done. That is, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the start winning to the second starting port 64b that is older in terms of time is stored, and the second reserve first area stores the data to the second starting port 64b that is the oldest in terms of time. , the data corresponding to the start winning will be stored.

In addition, the second reserved ball execution area 273g is composed of only one area. Like the second reserved ball storage area 273e, the second reserved ball execution area 273g includes a jackpot random number counter storage area 273g1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type that stores the value of the jackpot type counter C2. A counter storage area 273g2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273g3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 273g4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1 are provided.

When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variation effect of the second special symbol, the second When data is stored in the second reserved first area of the reserved ball storage area 273e, the data stored in the second reserved first area is stored in each area 273g1 to the second reserved ball execution area 273g. Shift respectively to 273g4.

Then, the data shifted to the second reserved ball execution area 273g is referred to in the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (see FIG. 105), and the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery are performed based on the reference data and the game state. , determine the variation pattern and stop type corresponding to the lottery result. In the special symbol display device 39, dynamic display is performed under the control of the main controller 110 based on the determined variation pattern and stop type.

Further, the variation pattern and stop type determined here are notified to the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 by a variation pattern command and a stop type command. Then, under the control of the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, the third pattern display device 81 performs a variation effect based on the variation pattern and the stop type notified by the variation pattern command and the stop type command.

The details of data shift will be explained. When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the second special symbol variation effect, the MPU 271 determines whether or not data is stored in the second reserved first area of the second reserved ball storage area 273e. As a result of determination, if data is stored in the second reservation first area, the random value of the jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 of the second reservation first area is stored in the jackpot random number counter storage area 273g of the second reservation ball execution area 273g. Shift to area 273e1. Similarly, the random value of the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 of the second reservation first area is shifted to the jackpot type counter storage area 273g2, and the random value of the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 of the second reservation first area is It shifts to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273g3, and shifts the random value of the fluctuation type counter storage area 273e4 of the second reservation first area to the fluctuation type counter storage area 273g4.

Then, when the data shift to the second reserved ball execution area 273g is completed, the second reserved first area becomes empty, so that each area (second to fourth) of the second reserved ball storage area 273e Shift processing is performed to move the (suspended) data to areas (first to third) with area numbers one smaller. In the thirteenth embodiment, data is shifted only for the second reserved areas (first to fourth) in which data is stored (reserved) in the second reserved ball storage area 273e.

Here, the data shift performed for each reserved area in the second reserved ball storage area 273e will be described. For example, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b when the start determination of the second special symbol variation effect is made is "4", and all areas (first to fourth) of the second reserved ball storage area 273e ) is stored with data. In this state, the data in the second reserved first area is shifted to the second reserved ball execution area 273g, and when the second reserved first area becomes empty, the MPU 271 moves to other areas (second to fourth) , are shifted to areas (1st to 3rd) whose area number is 1 smaller. That is, the data in the second reserved second area is shifted to the second reserved first area, the data in the second reserved third area is shifted to the second reserved second area, the data in the second reserved fourth area to the second reserved third area.

Also, for example, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b when the start determination of the second special symbol variation effect is made is "2", the MPU 271 only stores the data of the second reserved second area. , shifts to the second reserved first area to finish shifting the data. As described above, in the thirteenth embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the second reservation areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (reserved), so the number of data shifts is reduced. can reduce the control burden.

It should be noted that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data in the second reservation area (second to fourth) may be configured to be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not data is stored (reserved) in the second reservation areas (second to fourth), so that it is possible to easily create a program.

In this way, data relating to the dynamic display of the first special symbol to be executed and data relating to the dynamic display of the second special symbol to be executed are separately stored, and dynamic display is performed based on each data. By doing, the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the dynamic display of the second special symbol can be executed at the same time.

Returning to FIG. 85, the description is continued. The normal pattern holding ball number counter 273h displays the normal pattern based on the passage of the ball through the through gate 67 detected in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) which is periodically executed every 4 milliseconds. It is a counter for counting the number of holding balls (number of standby times) of variable display of normal symbols performed by the device 83 up to four times.

As with the reserved ball number counters 273a and 273b, the normal figure reserved ball number counter 273h is set to "0" as an initial value by the initial setting process (see S616 in FIG. 16) of the RAM 273 after the power is turned on. Then, each time the passage of the ball through the through gate 67 is detected and the number of held balls for variable display relating to normal symbols increases, 1 is added to the maximum value "4" (see S5405 in FIG. 101). On the other hand, the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h is decremented by 1 each time the normal pattern variable display is executed (see S5595 in FIG. 108).

The normal-pattern holding ball storage area 273i is a memory for storing the normal-pattern per counter C4 obtained from the counter buffer 273c upon detection of passage of the ball through the through gate 67. FIG. When the MPU 271 detects that the ball has passed through the through gate 67 in the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), it acquires the value of the counter C4 per normal pattern from the counter buffer 273c, and stores the normal pattern reserved ball. Store in area 273i. The normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i has four reserved areas (normal pattern (Refer to FIG. 86).

The normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j is a memory for storing data (value of the normal pattern random number counter C4) to be referred to in the normal pattern winning lottery and variable display processing that starts execution or is being executed. is.

When the MPU 271 detects that it is the execution start timing of the variable display of the normal design, in order to execute the processing such as the setting of the normal design winning lottery and the setting of the variable display of the normal design display device 83, the above-mentioned normal design reservation ball Of the data stored in the storage area 273i (the value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern), one data is shifted to this normal pattern holding ball execution area 273j. Note that the shift in the thirteenth embodiment indicates moving data stored in one area to another area.

Here, with reference to FIG. 86 again, the details of the normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i and the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j will be described. The normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i and the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j are used by the MPU 271 of the main control unit 110 in order to perform processing such as normal symbol winning lottery and setting of variable display of the normal symbol display device 83. be.

As described above, the normal symbol winning lottery and setting of the variable display of the normal symbol display device 83 use the normal symbol winning random number counter C4 used for the normal symbol winning lottery. The normal pattern holding ball storage area 273i stores the value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern acquired from the counter buffer 273c by the MPU 271 when the ball passes through the through gate 67 .

The general pattern holding ball storage area 273i is composed of four holding areas (the general pattern holding first to fourth areas). Each of the four reservation areas (normal pattern reservation 1st to 4th areas) is provided with a random number counter storage area (not shown) per normal pattern that stores the value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern.

In this general pattern holding ball storage area 273i, the data acquired at the timing when the ball passes through the through gate 67 (the value of the general pattern random number counter C4) is stored up to 4 times, but in that case, 4 Data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) in the vacant areas of the reservation area (normal drawing reservation 1st to 4th area). In other words, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the passage of the ball through the through gate 67 which is the oldest in terms of time is stored, and the data of the ball passing through the through gate 67 which is the oldest in terms of time is stored in the first area of the normal map reservation area. Data corresponding to the passage will be stored.

On the other hand, the normal figure holding ball execution area 273j is composed of only one area. Similar to the normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i, the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j is provided with a normal pattern random number counter storage area (not shown) for storing the value of the normal pattern random number counter C4. .

When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to execute the variable display of the normal symbols, the data stored in the first normal pattern reservation area of the normal pattern reservation ball storage area 273i is transferred to the normal pattern reservation ball execution area 273j. shift.

Then, the data shifted to the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j is referred to in the normal pattern variation process (see FIG. 108), and based on the reference data and the game state, a winning lottery is performed, and the contents of the variable display to decide. In the normal symbol display device 83, under the control of the main controller 110, variable display is performed based on the determined contents.

The details of data shift will be explained. When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variable display of normal symbols, the random value of the random number counter storage area (not shown) per normal pattern in the first area of the normal pattern retention ball storage area 273i. is shifted to a random number counter storage area (not shown) per normal pattern of the normal pattern holding ball execution area 273j.

Then, when the shift of the data to the normal pattern holding ball execution area 273j is completed, the normal pattern holding first area becomes empty, so it is stored in each area (2nd to 4th) of the normal pattern holding ball storage area 273i. Shift processing is performed to shift the (suspended) data to areas (first to third) with area numbers one smaller. In addition, in the thirteenth embodiment, data is shifted only for the general pattern reservation areas (first to fourth) in which the data is stored (reserved) in the normal pattern reservation ball storage area 273i.

Here, the data shift performed with respect to each reservation area in the normal figure reservation ball storage area 273i will be described. For example, when it is determined to start variable display of normal symbols, the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h is "4", and all areas (first to fourth) of the normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i Suppose data is stored. In this state, the data of the normal pattern reservation first area is shifted to the normal pattern reservation ball execution area 273j, and when the normal pattern reservation first area becomes empty, the MPU 271 is the other area (2nd to 4th) , are shifted to areas (1st to 3rd) whose area number is 1 smaller. In other words, the data of the 2nd area of the general pattern reservation is shifted to the 1st area of the general pattern reservation, the data of the 3rd area of the general pattern reservation is shifted to the 2nd area of the general pattern reservation, and the data of the 4th area of the general pattern reservation is shifted to the 3rd area for general map reservation.

Further, for example, if the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h when the start determination of the variable display of the normal pattern is performed is "2", the MPU 271 only transfers the data of the normal pattern reserved second area to the normal pattern. Shift to the drawing reservation first area to finish shifting the data. As described above, in the thirteenth embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the normal pattern reservation area (third to fourth) where data is not stored (reserved), so the number of data shifts is reduced. can reduce the control burden.

In addition, regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data of the general map reservation area (2nd to 4th) may be configured to be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not the data is stored (reserved) in the normal drawing reservation area (second to fourth), so it is possible to facilitate the creation of the program.

Returning to FIG. 85, the description is continued. As described above, in the ROM 272 of the main controller 110, when a big win is won in the lottery game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, reference is made for opening control of the big winning opening 65a of the variable winning device 65. and a small winning opening table 272i that is referred to for opening control of the small winning opening 72a of the second variable winning device 72 when a small winning is won in the lottery game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. A win release table 272j is stored.

Here, with reference to FIG. 96, the big-hit open table 272i and the small-hit open table 272j will be described. FIG. 96(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a jackpot opening table 272i stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 96(b) schematically shows an example of a small winning opening table 272j stored in the ROM 272. It is a schematic diagram schematically shown. The jackpot opening table 272i is referred to at the time of the jackpot of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and based on the jackpot type that generated the jackpot of each special symbol, the opening mode (number of times, maximum opening time, maximum number of prizes) is stipulated. In addition, the small winning opening table 272j is referred to at the time of the small winning of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and regardless of the game state in which the small winning of each special symbol occurs, the opening mode (number of times) of the small winning opening 72a , maximum open time, maximum winning number) are defined.

First, the jackpot release table 272i is divided based on the jackpot type of the jackpot. Specifically, for "probability fluctuation A" that is referred to when winning the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A", and for "probability fluctuation B" that is referred to when winning the jackpot type "probability fluctuation B" , The opening mode of the big winning opening 65a is changed for "time reduction" which is referred to when the jackpot type "time reduction" is won.

As shown in FIG. 96(a), in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when winning the jackpot type "probability variation A" is "16". The maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is 30 seconds, and the maximum winning number is 10, and prize balls are paid out based on the winning of the balls into the big winning opening 65a. The number is defined in the jackpot opening table 272i so as to be "15".

In addition, the transition game state after the end of the jackpot by the jackpot type "probability fluctuation A" can be shifted to "super-probability fluctuation state" of "special pattern: high probability, normal pattern: low probability". stipulated in

Next, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when winning the jackpot type "probability fluctuation B" is "6 times", and the maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is "30 seconds". In addition, the maximum winning number is "10", and the number of winning balls to be paid out based on the winning of the balls into the big winning opening 65a is defined in the jackpot release table 272i to be "15". there is

In addition, the transition game state after the end of the jackpot by the jackpot type "probability fluctuation B" is shifted to the "probability fluctuation state" of "special pattern: high probability, normal pattern: high probability" in the jackpot release table 272i. stipulated.

Next, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when winning the jackpot type "time reduction" is "6 times", and the maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is "30 seconds". In addition, the maximum winning number is "10", and the number of winning balls to be paid out based on the winning of the balls into the big winning opening 65a is defined in the jackpot opening table 272i to be "15". .

In addition, the jackpot release table 272i stipulates that the transition game state after the jackpot by the jackpot type "time reduction" is shifted to the "time reduction state" of "special pattern: low probability, normal pattern: high probability". It is

As a result, the game value given to the player (the total number of prize balls that can be paid out) differs for each jackpot type won, so that the game value given directly according to the jackpot type won is different. can be generated. In addition, by changing the game state to be shifted after the jackpot game for each jackpot type won, it is possible to make a difference in the game performance after the jackpot ends based on the jackpot type won. As a result, in the lottery game of the special symbols, it is possible to create a playability of determining which jackpot type is won or not, and to improve the amusement of the game.

It should be noted that the mode of opening the big winning opening 65a based on the jackpot type (number of times, maximum opening time, maximum number of winnings, number of winning balls, and transition game state) is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. be. Specifically, the number of opening times may be the same for each jackpot type, the maximum opening time may be changed for each jackpot type, or the maximum winning number may be changed. you can Moreover, it is not necessary to shift to a separate game state for each jackpot type, and it may be configured to shift to a common game state for a plurality of jackpot types.

In addition, during the jackpot game by "probability variation A", "probability variation B" and "time reduction", it is configured to temporarily transition to the "normal game state". With this configuration, during each jackpot game, it is possible to prevent the giving of game value (for example, the long opening of the normal electric combination 64c) other than the opening of the big winning opening 65a. Calculation of the pay-out rate at the time of designing is facilitated, and man-hours for designing game specifications can be reduced.

Further, in one round of the big winning game (or small winning game), the large winning opening 65a (or the small winning opening 72a) may be opened and closed multiple times. Specifically, for example, in one round, after the opening of the big winning opening 65a is started, it is closed once in a predetermined number of seconds (for example, "5 seconds") less than the maximum opening time, and is closed for a predetermined closing time ( For example, after "1 second"), the large winning opening 65a is opened again, and may be closed again when the maximum opening time elapses or when the maximum winning number is won. By configuring in this way, it is possible to enrich the variation of the game in the big winning game (or the small winning game) and improve the interest of the game.

Next, as shown in FIG. 96(b), in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, there is one type of opening mode of the small winning opening 72a that is set when a small winning is won. The number of openings of the small winning openings 72a is "1 time", the maximum opening time for opening one of the small winning openings 72a is "1.8 seconds", and the maximum winning number is "1". , and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of balls into the small prize openings 72a is defined in the small prize opening table 272j so as to be "10". As a result, when a small win is won, a predetermined number of prize balls can be acquired although the game value is not as high as that of a big win.

Further, after the end of the small winning, the game state does not shift, and the small winning opening table 272j defines that the small winning game state is maintained. Specifically, for example, when a small hit is won with the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the "normal game state", after the end of the small winning game (including during the execution of the small winning game), again It is defined to be in a "normal game state". Also, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", if a small hit is won with the first special symbol or the second special pattern, after the small-hit game is completed (including during the execution of the small-hit game), the "super probability fluctuation state”. Furthermore, when a small hit is won with the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the "probability fluctuation state", after the small prize game ends (including during the execution of the small prize game), the "probability fluctuation state" again is stipulated to be In addition, when a small hit is won with the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the "time shortened state", after the small hit game ends (including during the execution of the small hit game), the "time shortened state" again. is stipulated to be

The mode of opening the small winning opening 72a based on the small win (the number of times, the maximum opening time, the maximum winning number, the number of winning balls, or the transition game state) is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. be. Specifically, the number of opening times in the small winning game may be configured to be performed multiple times, the maximum opening time may be changed, or the maximum winning number may be changed. you can

In addition, as the opening mode of the small winning opening 72a based on the small winning, the maximum opening time (for example, "1.8 seconds") based on the small winning game is the total accumulated number of seconds of the opening time of the small winning opening 72a. It may be configured to open the small winning opening 72a until the time is reached. Specifically, the opening time of one small winning opening 72a is set to "0.2 seconds", and the small winning opening 72a is repeatedly opened and closed "9 times" in one small winning game, The small winning openings 72a are opened so that the total opening time of the small winning openings 72a based on the game is equivalent to the maximum opening time. By constructing in this way, it is possible to create a game property such as whether or not the ball can be won while the small winning opening 72a is open in the small winning game, and to improve the interest of the game.

In addition, during and after the small winning game, the small winning game state is maintained, but during the small winning game or after the small winning game, the game state is changed from the small winning game state. may Specifically, for example, during the small hit game, transition to the "normal game state" in any game state before the small hit game, and then the game state of the small commonplace (for example, the small commonplace is "super If it is "probability fluctuation state", it may be configured to shift to "super probability fluctuation state") even after the small winning game. In addition, a game state with a high game value from the game state before the small winning game (for example, from "probability fluctuation state" to "super probability fluctuation state", "time shortening state" to "probability fluctuation state", or "normal game state ” to a “time reduction state”, etc.). Furthermore, a game state with a low game value from the game state before the small winning game (for example, from "super probability fluctuation state" to "probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" to "time reduction state", or "time reduction state ” to a “normal game state”, etc.). By constructing in this way, it is possible to create a game property in which the game state is shifted with a small win, enrich the variation of the game, and improve the amusement of the game.

Returning to FIG. 85, the description is continued. An input/output port 275 is connected to the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 via a bus line 274 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input/output port 275 includes the payout control device 111, the sound lamp control device 113, the special symbol display device 39, the normal symbol display device 83, the normal symbol reservation lamp 84, and the front side with the lower side of the opening and closing plate of the big winning opening 65a as the axis. A large winning opening solenoid for driving to open and close, a small winning opening solenoid for driving opening and closing forward with the lower side of the opening and closing plate of the small winning opening 72a as an axis, and a normal electric for opening and driving the normal electric 64c A solenoid 209 consisting of a role solenoid or the like is connected, and the MPU 271 transmits various commands and control signals to these through an input/output port 275 .

The input/output port 275 is connected to various switches 208 including a switch group and a sensor group (not shown) and a RAM erasure switch circuit 253 provided in the power supply device 115, which will be described later. , and the RAM erasing signal SG2 output from the RAM erasing switch circuit 253, various processes are executed.

Further, the input/output port 275 has a base display device control circuit 402 for controlling the base display device 401, a setting key 501, an error display button 502, a setting change switch 505, and an external output terminal board 700. It is connected.

The external output terminal plate 700 is provided above the payout unit 93 (see FIG. 3) provided on the right side of the pachinko machine 10 in rear view, and connects the pachinko machine 10 and the hall computer 600 (see FIG. 60) of the game hall. electrically connected. This external output terminal board 700 outputs game information in the pachinko machine 10 (for example, jackpot information, small win information, game state information ("normal game state", "super-probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state", "Time shortened state", "during jackpot game", etc.), winning information to the first start opening 64a, winning information to the second starting opening 64b, winning information to the big winning opening 65a, to the small winning opening 72a winning information, etc.) to the hall computer 600. By connecting the output terminals and the hall computer 600, the hall computer 600 can output the It is possible to grasp the game state of the plurality of pachinko machines 10 provided.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the game result (hand) of the pachinko machine 10 is output to the hall computer 600 (see FIG. 60) by the external output terminal board 700, and the output result, that is, the number of jackpots and the number of small wins. The number of hits is displayed on a data lamp (not shown) provided on each pachinko machine 10. FIG. A player who plays a game may check a data lamp provided on the pachinko machine 10 before playing the game. Based on the display contents of the data lamp, the game history of the pachinko machine 10 to be played from now on is referred to, and the pachinko machine 10 to be played is selected by guessing the setting contents of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加In this case, if the setting content is a game result that can be easily discriminated (detected), the player selects the pachinko machine 10 with the good setting content (for example, setting value "6"), and the poor setting content (for example, , set value "1") By avoiding playing the pachinko machine 10, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 may decrease, and the profit of the game hall may decrease.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, at least one combination that frequently appears in a specific gaming state and can be clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp (that is, a small number of "probability fluctuation state"). It is configured so that there is no difference for each setting value in the winning combination), and a setting difference is provided for the combination that is most unlikely to appear (that is, the jackpot in the "probability fluctuation state" or the like). By configuring in this way, it is difficult to make a combination that has a setting difference and a low appearance ratio appear, and it is difficult to grasp the setting difference of the combination unless the number of game trials is increased. be able to. Therefore, when the number of game trials is small, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to discern the setting difference of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加As a result, it is made difficult for a player to discriminate the setting difference of the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 with low setting can be operated, and the deterioration of the operation of each pachinko machine 10 installed in the game hall is suppressed. can be done.

Next, various control processes executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110 in the thirteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 97 to 114. FIG. The processing of the MPU 271 can be broadly classified into startup processing (see FIG. 54) that is started when the power is turned on, setting change processing (see FIG. 97) that is executed during the startup processing, and the startup processing. Main processing to be executed later (see FIG. 17), timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) that is started periodically (4 millisecond cycle in the thirteenth embodiment), and power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal. There is an NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 15) triggered by an input. Here, for convenience of explanation, the setting change processing (see FIG. 97) will be explained first, and then the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) will be explained. Note that the startup processing (see FIG. 54), main processing (see FIG. 17), and NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. 15) are equivalent to the above-described embodiments (first and seventh embodiments). Therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
First, with reference to FIG. 97, the details of the setting change process (S4005) of the thirteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 97 is a flow chart showing the setting change process (S4005) of the thirteenth embodiment. The setting change process (S4005) of the thirteenth embodiment is a process that is executed when the startup mode is the setting change mode. A jackpot random number table 272a is set.

Regarding the setting change processing (S4005) of the thirteenth embodiment, the difference from the setting change processing of the seventh embodiment is that after the setting value is confirmed (S4107), the The point is that a process (S4121) for setting the jackpot random number table 272a2 is performed.

In the setting change process (S4005) of the thirteenth embodiment, in S4101 to S4111, the setting value is changed (updated) based on the detection results of the RAM erase switch 122 and the setting change switch 505, and the changed (updated) The set value is determined as the probability set value to be used in the game from now on (S4107). Then, the jackpot random number table 272a is set according to the probability setting value (S4121), and in the subsequent lottery for the first special symbol or the second special pattern, the jackpot random number table 272a is referred to and the lottery is performed. .

Thus, by setting the jackpot random number table 272a based on the set probability value when starting up the pachinko machine 10, the jackpot random number table 272a cannot be changed unless the start-up process is executed. can. Since the power supply of the pachinko machine 10 can normally be turned on and off only by those involved in the hall, it is possible to prevent players from illegally changing the jackpot random number table 272a.

Further, the jackpot random number table 272a is set based on the probability setting value only when the pachinko machine 10 is started up, and the jackpot random number table 272a is not set during the normal game, so that the normal game can be played. It is possible to eliminate the processing of setting the jackpot random number table 272a when playing a game, thereby reducing the processing load during game execution.

Next, with reference to FIG. 98, timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the thirteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 98 is a flow chart showing timer interrupt processing of the thirteenth embodiment.

In this timer interrupt process, first, an external output process is executed (S5101). In timer interrupt processing and main processing (see FIG. 17), commands or signals to be sent to payout control device 111, sound lamp control device 113, hall computer 600, etc. are generated based on various processing, and commands are generated. When the command is generated, it is temporarily stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and when a signal is generated, the signal is output to a device corresponding to the signal (for example, the external output terminal board 700, etc.). In the external output process of S5101, output data such as commands stored in the ring buffer for command transmission is transmitted to each sub-side control device (peripheral control device), and the signal is output to various devices.

Here, the external output processing (S5101) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 99 is a flowchart showing this external output processing (S5101).

In this external output process (S5101), first, it is determined whether or not there is a command to be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 (S5201). Commands to be sent to the audio lamp control device 113 include, for example, the starting winning process (see FIG. 100), which will be described later. The special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 stop type command set in the special figure 2 change process (see FIG. 104) described later, the special figure described later Special figure 2 variation pattern command and special figure 2 stop type command set in 2 variation start processing (see FIG. 105), special figure 1 variation pattern command set in special figure 1 change processing (see FIG. 106) described later and Special figure 1 stop type command, special figure 1 confirmation command and/or special figure 2 confirmation command set in fluctuation stop processing (see FIG. 107) described later, jackpot opening set in winning process (see FIG. 109) described later Command or small winning opening command, opening command set in large winning opening opening/closing control processing (see FIG. 110) described later, closing command set in large winning opening opening processing (see FIG. 111) described later, big winning described later The ending command set in the end processing (see FIG. 112), or the small opening command or small closing command set in the small winning opening opening/closing control processing (see FIG. (sometimes referred to as "command").

In the process of S5201, if an audio lamp-related command was set (generated) in the previously (previous) executed timer interrupt process, it is determined that there is a command to be transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113 (S5201 : Yes), the audio lamp related command is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113 (S5202), and the process proceeds to S5203. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S5201 that the sound lamp-related command is not set (generated) (S5201: No), the process proceeds to S5203 without performing the process of S5202.

Next, in the processing of S5203, it is determined whether or not there is a command to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 (S5203). Commands to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 include start winning commands based on determination that the ball has won the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b in the later-described starting winning process (see FIG. 100). , a large winning command based on determination that a ball has entered the large winning opening 65a in the processing during the opening of the large winning opening (see FIG. 111) to be described later, or a small winning opening opening/closing control process to be described later (see FIG. 113). A small winning command based on determination that a ball has entered the small winning opening 72a (hereinafter, the command may be referred to as a "payout-related command").

In the process of S5203, if a payout-related command has been set (generated) in the previously (previous) executed timer interrupt process, it is determined that there is a command to be sent to the payout control device 111 (S5203: Yes ), the payout-related command is transmitted to the payout control device 111 (S5204), and the process proceeds to S5205. On the other hand, in the process of S5203, when it is determined that the payout-related command is not set (generated) (S5203: No), the process of S5204 is not performed, and the process proceeds to S5205.

Next, in the process of S5205, it is determined whether or not there is output information (signal) to be output to the external output terminal board 700, that is, the hall computer 600 (see FIG. 60) (S5205). The output information (signal) to be output to the external output terminal board 700 includes the number of winnings to the first starting port 64a, the number of winnings to the second starting port 64b, the number of winnings to the general winning port 63, and the output port 66. The number of inflows to, the number of fluctuations in the first special symbol (number of starts or stops), the number of fluctuations in the second special symbols (number of starts or stops), the number of starts of jackpot games (number of ends), the start of small winning games number (finishing number), opening mode (open or closed) of the large winning opening 65a, opening mode (opening or closing) of the small winning opening 72a, number of winnings to the large winning opening 65a, number of winnings to the small winning opening 72a, The number of balls entering the through gate 67, the number of shots by the shooting solenoid, the game state (the above signals may be hereinafter referred to as "outer end system signals"), and the like.

In the process of S5205, if the timer interrupt process executed earlier (last time) was set to output an external system signal, the signal to be output to the external output terminal board 700 (hall computer 600) is (S5205: Yes), output the external end system signal to the external output terminal board 700 (S5206), terminate this external output processing (S5101), and proceed to the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). return. On the other hand, in the processing of S5205, if it is determined that the external system signal is not set (S5205: No), the processing of S5206 is not performed, the external output processing (S5101) is terminated, and the timer interrupt Return to processing (see FIG. 98).

Returning to FIG. 98, the description is continued. After the processing of S5101, next, the prize ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S5102), and then the hit processing for executing the processing at the time of hitting each special symbol is executed ( S5103). This winning process (S5103) will be described later with reference to FIG.

After S5103, a normal electric power control process for executing a drive control process for the normal electric power 64c is next executed (S5104). Briefly, on the condition that the ball has passed through the through gate 67, the normal symbol display device 83 performs variable display of the normal symbols. symbol) appears and the winning state is established, the ordinary electric terminal 64c is opened for a predetermined time. The details of this normal electric role control process (S5104) will be described later with reference to FIG.

After the process of S5104, next, the process of reading various winning switches is executed (S5105). That is, it reads the states of various switches 208 connected to the main controller 110, determines the states of the switches 208, and saves detection information (winning detection information). Also, a winning ball command corresponding to the number of winning balls to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 based on the winning detection information. As a result, a predetermined prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 111 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

Next, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S5106). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to "0" when the counter value reaches the maximum value ("9999" in the thirteenth embodiment). Then, the updated value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is stored in the corresponding counter buffer 273c area of the RAM273. Similarly, the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is incremented by 1, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value ("99" in the first embodiment), it is cleared to "0" and the second initial value The updated value of the random number counter CINI2 is stored in the corresponding counter buffer 273c area of the RAM273.

Furthermore, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS1 and the random number counter C4 per normal pattern are updated (S5107). Specifically, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the fluctuation type counter CS1, and the random number counter C4 per normal pattern are each added by 1, and their counter values are the maximum value (first implementation In the form, when reaching "9999", "99", "99", "9", "99") respectively, they are cleared to "0". Also, when the jackpot random number counter C1 or the normal random number counter C4 makes one round, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 or the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is changed to the jackpot random number counter C1 or the normal random number It is read as the initial value of the counter C4, and the initial value is set in the jackpot random number counter C1 or the normal random number counter C4. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer 273c area of the RAM 273. FIG.

Next, start winning processing associated with winning to the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b is executed (S5108), and then gate passing processing is executed following passage of the ball through the through gate 67 (S5109). . Details of the starting winning process (S5108) will be described later with reference to FIG. 100, and details of the gate passage process (S5109) will be described later with reference to FIG.

After executing the gate passing process (S5109), the process for dynamically displaying the special symbol by the special symbol display device 39 or the third symbol display device 81 based on the processing contents of the start winning process (S5108) A special figure variation process for setting the variation pattern of the third symbol is executed (S5110). In addition, the details of the special figure variation processing (S5110) will be described later with reference to FIG.

After executing the special figure variation process (S5110), then, based on the processing contents of the gate passage process (S5109), the normal symbol display device 83 normally performs the process for performing the variable display of the normal symbol Normal figure variation Processing is executed (S5111). In addition, the detail of normal figure fluctuation processing (S5111) is mentioned later with reference to FIG.

After executing the normal figure fluctuation processing (S5111), the firing control processing is executed (S5112), and further, other processing that should be executed periodically is executed (S5113), and the timer interrupt processing is terminated. Note that the shooting control process (S5112) is performed on the condition that the touch sensor 51a detects that the player is touching the operating handle 51 and the stop switch 51b for stopping shooting is not operated. This is the process of determining whether or not to fire the ball. Then, when the ball shooting is on, in order to send the ball shooting signal to the shooting control device 112, the information of the ball shooting signal is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 273. FIG. As a result, the ball firing signal is transmitted to the firing control device 112 via the payout control device 111 by the processing of S5101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next.

Next, the starting winning process (S5108), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 100 is a flow chart showing this starting winning process (S5108).

The starting prize winning process (S5108) determines whether or not the ball has won a prize to the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b. A process of storing (reserving) in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e corresponding to the mouths 64a and 64b is executed. Further, the processing for transmitting the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 to be held together with the number of held balls to the sound lamp control device 113 is executed.

In the starting winning process (S5108), the MPU 271 first determines whether or not the ball has won the first starting hole 64a (starting winning) (S5301). Here, based on the output signal of the special figure 1 entrance switch (not shown) that detects the entry (winning) to the first start opening 64a read in the switch reading process (see S5105 in FIG. 98) , the ball entering the first starting port 64a is detected over three times of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

When it is determined that the ball has won the first starting port 64a (there has been a starting prize) (S5301: Yes), then the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (the value of the first reserved ball counter 273a) It is determined whether or not the number N1 of active balls with dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of one special symbol is less than the upper limit value ("4" in the thirteenth embodiment) (S5302). Then, even if there is a prize to the first start port 64a, if the number of balls to be activated is not N1<4 (S5302: No), the start prize processing (S5108) is ended, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). back to

On the other hand, if the number N1 of balls held in operation is less than 4 (S5302: Yes), the value of the first ball number counter 273a (number of balls held in operation N1) is incremented by 1 (S5303). Then, this time, since the winning is to the first starting port 64a corresponding to the first special symbol, the first reserved ball storage area 273d is set as the storage destination of each random number value C1 to C3, CS1 (S5304), and processing is performed. to S5309.

In the processing of S5301, if it is determined that the ball has not entered the first starting port 64a (S5301: No), then it is determined whether or not the ball has entered the second starting port 64b (start winning). (S5305). Here, like the first starting port 64a, read in the switch reading process (see S5105 in FIG. 98), the special figure 2 entrance switch (not shown) that detects the entry (winning) to the second starting port 64b ), the ball entering the second starting port 64b is detected over three times of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

When it is determined that the ball has won the second starting port 64b (there has been a starting prize) (S5305: Yes), then the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (the value of the second reserved ball counter 273b) It is determined whether or not the number N2 of operation pending balls for dynamic display (variation effect) of 2 special symbols is less than the upper limit value ("4" in the thirteenth embodiment) (S5306). Then, if there is no winning to the second starting port 64b (S5305: No), or even if there is a winning to the second starting port 64b, if the number N2 of operation pending balls is not <4 (S5306: No), this The start winning process (S5108) is ended, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, if the number of ball in operation N2<4 (S5306: Yes), the value of the second ball in reservation counter 273b (number of ball in operation N2) is incremented by 1 (S5307). Then, this time, since the winning is to the second starting port 64b corresponding to the second special symbol, the second reserved ball storage area 273e is set as the storage destination of each of the random numbers C1 to C3 and CS1 (S5308), and processing is performed. to S5309.

In the process of S5309, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1 are read from the counter buffer 273c (see FIG. 86), and set as the storage destination in S5304 or S5308. Among the first holding first to fourth areas or second holding first to fourth areas provided in the first holding ball storage area 273d or the second holding ball storage area 273e, the first holding ball storage area 273d is If specified as a storage destination, the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1, the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2, the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3, and the variation type counter of the area corresponding to the value indicated by the first reserved ball number counter 273a Each is reserved (stored) in the storage area 273d4 (S5309). In addition, when the second reserved ball storage area 273e is designated as the storage destination, the area corresponding to the value indicated by the second reserved ball number counter 273b, the jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1, the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2, and the stop It is reserved (stored) in the pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 and the variation type counter storage area 273e4 (S5309).

Specifically, for example, the first reserved ball storage area 273d is set as the storage destination in the processing of S5304 based on the winning to the first starting port 64a, and the first reserved ball number counter after addition by the processing of S5303 If the value of 273a is "1", the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are reserved in the respective storage areas of the first reserved first area. Also, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after the addition is "2", each storage area in the first reserved second area is stored if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after the addition is "3". If there is, in each storage area of the first reservation third area, if the value of the first reservation ball number counter 273a after addition is "4", in each storage area of the first reservation fourth area counters C1 to C3 , CS1 are reserved.

Further, for example, the second reserved ball storage area 273e is set as the storage destination in the processing of S5308 based on the winning to the second starting port 64b, and the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after addition by the processing of S5307 is "1", the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are reserved in the respective storage areas of the second reserved first area. Also, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after the addition is "2", each storage area in the second reserved second area is stored if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after the addition is "3". If there is, in each storage area of the second reservation third area, if the value of the second reservation ball number counter 273b after addition is "4", in each storage area of the second reservation fourth area Counters C1 to C3, respectively , CS1 are reserved.

Next, the value of the first retained ball number counter 273a or the second retained ball number counter 273b after the addition by the processing of S5303 or S5307 (the number of activated retained balls N1 or the number of activated retained balls N2), and the first A hold ball number command containing each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1 stored (held) in the hold ball storage area 273d or the second hold ball storage area 273e is voiced. In order to transmit it to the lamp control device 113, the reserved ball count command is set in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 273 (S5310). As a result, the pending ball number command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process of S5101 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) to be executed next. After completing the process of S5310, the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

The values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 to be included in the pending ball number command in the processing of S5310 may be the values read out from the counter buffer 273c in the processing of S5309, or the first pending in the processing of S5309. A read value stored (retained) in the ball storage area 273d or the second retained ball storage area 273e may be used.

Further, in the processing of S5301 and S5305, when the ball enters the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b at the same time, the winning processing of the ball to the first starting port 64a is preferentially executed, and the second starting port Waiting for the winning process of the ball to the opening 64b, and in the starting winning process (S5108) in the next timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98), the waiting process of winning the ball to the second starting opening 64b is executed. can be configured to

Next, referring to FIG. 101, the gate passing process (S5109), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 101 is a flow chart showing this gate passage processing (S5109).

Gate passage processing (S5109) determines whether or not the ball has passed through the through gate 67 (entered the ball). A process of storing (holding) in the storage area 273i is executed. In addition, in the thirteenth embodiment, in a game state (that is, "normal game state") in which the right-handed game is not encouraged, when the passage of the ball is detected in the through gate 67 that passes only during the right-handed game, encouragement It is determined that a game that has not been played is being executed, and a predetermined notification (for example, alarm sound output) is made.

In the gate passing process (S5109), the MPU 271 first determines whether or not the ball has passed through the through gate 67 (S5401). Here, based on the output signal of the normal figure gate switch (not shown) that detects the passage of the ball into the through gate 67 (see S5105 in FIG. 98) read in the switch reading process (see S5105 in FIG. 98), the through gate 67 Passing (entering a ball) into the ball is detected over three timer interrupt processes (see FIG. 98).

In the process of S5401, when it is determined that the ball has passed through (entered) the through gate 67 (S5401: Yes), next, it is determined whether or not the current game state is in the "normal game state" (S5402). ). As a result of the determination, if it is a "normal game state" (S5402: Yes), it means that a right-handed game is played in a situation where the right-handed game is not encouraged, and a ball is detected at the through gate 67, so the player And normal right-handed error processing for notifying an error indicating that a game not encouraged by the employees of the game hall has been executed is performed (S5403), and the processing proceeds to S5404.

On the other hand, in the process of S5402, if it is determined that it is not the "normal game state" (S5402: No), the situation where the right-handed game is encouraged (i.e., "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or Since the right-handed game is being played in the "time shortening state"), the process of S5403 is skipped and the process proceeds to S5404.

Thus, when the game is played in a situation where the right-handed game is not encouraged, the situation is discriminated by the through gate 67 which is detected only in the right-handed game, and an error notification is given to the determination result. , to make players and pachinko hall employees aware that the game is not encouraged. As a result, it is possible to detect non-encouraged games without the need to provide another detection device, and to prevent the player from playing non-encouraged games by the above-mentioned notification, so that non-encouraged games are played. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of disadvantages of the game hall due to.

Next, in the process of S5404, the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h (normal pattern variable display operation reserved ball number HN reserved in the main controller 110) is the upper limit value (in the thirteenth embodiment, "4 ”) is determined (S5404). Then, if there is no passing (entering ball) through the through gate 67 (S5401: No), or even if there is passing (entering ball) through the through gate 67, if the number of balls on hold is HN<4 (S5404: No), this gate passage processing (S5109) is ended, and the processing returns to the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, if the number of pending balls in operation HN<4 (S5404: Yes), the value of the number of pending balls in normal pattern 273h (the number of pending balls in operation HN) is incremented by 1 (S5405). Then, the value of the counter C4 per normal pattern is read from the counter buffer 273c (see FIG. 86), and the read data is stored in the normal pattern reservation first to fourth areas provided in the normal pattern reservation ball storage area 273i. It is stored in the area corresponding to the value indicated by the normal figure holding ball number counter 273h (S5406).

Specifically, for example, if the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h after addition by the processing of S5405 is "1", the value of the normal pattern per counter C4 is reserved in the normal pattern reservation first area. In addition, if the value of the normal figure reservation ball number counter 273h after addition is "2", it will be in the normal figure reservation second area, and if the value of the normal figure reservation ball number counter 273h after addition is "3" If the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h after addition is "4" in the third reserved area, the value of the normal pattern per counter C4 is reserved in the fourth normal pattern reserved area. After the processing of S5406 ends, this gate passage processing (S5109) ends and returns to the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

In the thirteenth embodiment, the command for the number of pending balls for variable display of normal symbols is not transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113, but the command for the number of pending balls for variable display of normal symbols is 113, and may be configured to perform an effect (notification) regarding reserved symbols, etc. regarding variable display of normal symbols. In this case, by transmitting the value of the normal per pattern counter C4 in the pending ball number command, the voice lamp control device 113 is configured to be able to execute the so-called pre-reading process regarding the normal pattern, and the variation of the production regarding the normal pattern is realized. It may be configured to be provided.

Next, with reference to FIG. 102, the special figure variation process (S5110), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. Figure 102 is a flow chart showing this special figure variation processing (S5110).

This special figure variation processing (S5110) is to control the dynamic display in the special symbol display device 39 regarding the first special symbol and the second special symbol and the variation effect performed in the third symbol display device 81.

The MPU 271, in this special figure variation process (S5110), firstly, determines whether or not one of the first special figure and the second special figure is in the big hit now (S5501). During the jackpot, during the jackpot game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the special pattern display device 39 at the time of the jackpot, during a predetermined time before the start of the jackpot game (that is, during the jackpot opening), During a predetermined period of time after the jackpot game ends (that is, jackpot ending). As a result of determination in S5501, if it is during the jackpot of one of the special symbols (S5501: Yes), the special figure variation processing (S5110) is terminated as it is, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to.

In the process of S5501, if it is determined that the jackpot is not in progress (S5501: No), next, it is determined whether or not either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is in the midst of a small hit at the moment. (S5502). During the small hit, during the small hit game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the special symbol display device 39 at the time of the small hit, and a predetermined time before the start of the small hit game (that is, the opening of the small hit) and during a predetermined time after the end of the small winning game (that is, the ending of the small winning). As a result of determination in S5502, if it is during the small hit of any special symbol (S5502: Yes), the special figure variation processing (S5110) is terminated as it is, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to.

In the processing of S5502, when it is determined that the small winning is not in progress (S5502: No), next, it is determined whether or not the display mode of the first special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 is during dynamic display. (S5503). As a result of the determination, if the display mode of the first special symbol is during dynamic display (S5503: Yes), the processes of S5504 and S5505 are skipped, and the process proceeds to S5506. If the display mode of the 1 special symbol is not dynamically displayed (S5503: No), then, after the dynamic display of the first special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 is stopped, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed. (S5504). As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed after the dynamic display of the first special symbol is stopped (S5504: No), the process proceeds to S5506. As a result, the stop symbols in the dynamic display (fluctuation performance) of the first special symbols are displayed on the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 for a predetermined time, so that the player can see the stop symbols. can be visualized.

On the other hand, in the process of S5504, after the dynamic display of the first special symbol is stopped, if the predetermined time has passed (S5504: Yes), it is the timing at which the dynamic display of the first special symbol can be executed. A special figure 1 fluctuation start process, which is a process for determining whether or not to execute the dynamic display of the first special symbol, is performed (S5505), and then the process proceeds to S5506. In addition, the details of the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505) will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the process of S5506, it is determined whether or not the display mode of the second special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 is during dynamic display (S5506). As a result of the determination, if the display mode of the second special symbol is during dynamic display (S5506: Yes), the processes of S5507 and S5508 are skipped, and the process proceeds to S5509. If the display mode of the 2 special symbols is not dynamically displayed (S5506: No), then, after the dynamic display of the second special symbol on the special symbol display device 39 is stopped, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed. (S5507). As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed after the dynamic display of the second special symbol is stopped (S5507: No), the process proceeds to S5509. As a result, the stop symbol in the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the second special symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 for a predetermined time, so that the player can see the stop symbol. can be visualized.

On the other hand, in the process of S5507, after the stop of the dynamic display of the second special symbol, if the predetermined time has passed (S5507: Yes), it is the timing at which the dynamic display of the second special symbol can be executed, A special figure 2 fluctuation start process, which is a process for determining whether or not to execute the dynamic display of the second special symbol, is performed (S5508), and then the process proceeds to S5509. The details of the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S5508) will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the processing of S5509, it is determined whether or not to stop the dynamic display of the first special symbol or the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed. Variation stop processing, which is processing for stopping, is performed (S5509). After the fluctuation stop processing (S5509), this special figure fluctuation processing (S5110) is terminated and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. Details of the fluctuation stop processing (S5509) will be described later with reference to FIG.

Thus, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the dynamic display of the second special symbol can be simultaneously executed in parallel. As compared with the case of execution, it is possible to give the player more lottery chances and improve the interest of the game.

Here, with reference to FIG. 103, the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505) which is one process of the special figure fluctuation process (S5110) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110 will be described. Figure 103 is a flow chart showing this special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S5505).

This special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505) is the timing when it is possible to start executing the dynamic display (variation effect) of the first special symbol, and the number of pending balls (N1) of the first special symbol exists. If the number of reserved balls is present, determination is made based on the game state, and the content of the dynamic display (variable presentation) is determined based on the determination result. In addition, when a small win is won in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, the dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed, and the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is the result of the dynamic display. is a big win or a small win, the execution time of the dynamic display of the first special symbol set this time is compared with the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed. Then, when it is determined that the execution time of the dynamic display of the first special symbol is shorter than the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the second special symbol, the motion of the second special symbol being executed While the target display is changed to the dynamic display of losing, the execution time is reset to stop simultaneously with the dynamic display of the first special symbol. Furthermore, when the dynamic display of the first special symbol is not a small win, when the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed has contents that can lead to a big win, a lottery for the first special symbol is performed. First, the dynamic display of the first special symbol is set as the dynamic display of losing.

By configuring in this way, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a big win or a small win by the other special symbol during the execution of a big win or a small win by one special symbol, and a duplicate big win or small win (advantageous state) ), it is possible to prevent excessive game value from being paid out to the player. In addition, since there is no need to consider duplicated big wins or small wins when calculating the ball payout rate, the calculation of the ball payout rate is facilitated, and an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications can be suppressed. .

MPU 271, in this special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505), first, the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (dynamic display (variation effect) operation of the first special symbol reserved in the main controller 110 It is determined whether or not the number of held balls N1) is greater than "0" (S5511). As a result, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (operational reserved ball number N1) is not greater than "0" (S5511: No), the number of reserved balls for dynamic display of the first special symbol to be started Since does not exist, this special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S5505) ends and returns to the special figure fluctuation processing (see FIG. 102).

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S5511, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (operational reserved ball number N1) is not "0" (S5511: Yes), the dynamic display (variation effect) regarding the first special symbol It is the execution start timing, and it is determined that there is a dynamic display of the first special symbol to be started, and first, the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (operation reserved ball number N1) is subtracted by 1 (S5512). This is because the execution of one dynamic display (variable effect) among the reserved dynamic displays (variable effects) relating to the first special symbol is started, and the number of reserved balls is reduced by one.

Next, in the processing of S5513, shift processing is performed on the data stored in the first reserved ball storage area 273d (S5513). This data shift process is a process for sequentially shifting the data stored in the first reserved first to fourth areas of the first reserved ball storage area 273d toward the first reserved ball execution area 273f. Reservation 1st area → 1st reservation ball execution area 273f, 1st reservation 2nd area → 1st reservation 1st area, 1st reservation 3rd area → 1st reservation 2nd area, 1st reservation 4th area → 1st The data in each area is shifted, in a reserved third area, and so on.

Next, in the processing of S5514, it is determined whether or not the game state is a high probability state of special symbols, that is, whether it is a "super-probability fluctuation state" or a "probability fluctuation state" (S5514). As a result of determination, if the game state is not a special symbol high probability state, that is, if it is determined to be "normal game state" or "time reduction state" (S5514: No), the first special symbol jackpot probability (And the small hit probability) is a low probability state, so set to refer to the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 87 (a)) (S5515), and the processing of S5517 Move to judgment processing.

On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S5514, if the game state is a special symbol high probability state, that is, if it is a "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state" (S5514: Yes), the first special symbol Since the jackpot probability (and small hit probability) is in a high probability state, set to refer to the high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 87 (a)) (S5516), and the process is S5517 , the process proceeds to the suitability determination process.

In the success or failure determination process of S5517, first, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f in the first special symbol and the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 set in S5515 or S5516 (Fig. 87 (a)) to determine whether or not a small hit has been won (S5517).

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, whether or not the game is a small win is determined based on the relationship between the probability set value set when the power is turned on, the value of the big win random number counter C1, and the type of special symbol. As described above, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, the small hit random number is not provided with a difference for each set value (that is, all 100), but the number of different jackpot random numbers for each set value As the (range) is changed, the small hit random number value (range) is configured to be a different value for each set value.

Specifically, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a low-probability state with special symbols (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state"), there are 100 small winning random numbers for each set value. When the setting value is "1", it is "50 to 149", when the setting value is "2", it is "52 to 151", and when the setting value is "3", it is "54 to 153". , "56 to 155" for the set value "4", "58 to 157" for the set value "5", and "60 to 159" for the set value "6". .

On the other hand, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a high-probability state with special symbols (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), the small winning random number for each set value is also 100. , "500 to 599" when the setting value is "1", "520 to 619" when the setting value is "2", and "540 to 639" when the setting value is "3". A value of "4" specifies "560 to 659", a set value of "5" specifies a range of "580 to 679", and a set value of "6" specifies a range of "600 to 699".

In the process of S5517, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f is compared with the small hit random value specified in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, and they match. If so, it is determined to be a small hit. As a result of the processing of S5517, when it is determined that it is a small hit (S5517: Yes), the display mode at the time of the small hit is set (S5518). In the thirteenth embodiment, since only one type of small winning game is provided, when winning a small winning, the same without checking other counters (for example, big winning type counter C2) etc. A stop symbol (for example, "341" etc.) corresponding to the small hit is set.

In addition, a plurality of types of small winning games (for example, "small winning A" for 1 round, "small winning B" for 2 rounds, etc.) are provided, and the big winning type stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f The counter C2 may be configured to select the type of small winning game. Also, in this case, instead of the big hit type counter C2, a small hit type counter dedicated to the small hit may be provided, and the type of the small hit game may be selected based on the value of the small hit type counter. By configuring in this way, it is possible to enrich the variation of the small winning game and improve the interest of the game.

Next, in the process of S5519, the variation pattern at the time of the small hit is determined (S5519), and the process proceeds to S5520. Specifically, in the process of S5519, the variation pattern is determined by the same control program as when the big hit or the time of losing. That is, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the effect mode is selected based on whether or not a small win is won and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f. Then, the dynamic time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In the thirteenth embodiment, the E table 272d5 (see FIG. 91(b)) is selected without exception in determining the variation pattern at the time of the small hit regardless of the game state and the number of reserved balls, and the E table 272d5 is selected. The "E9: special variation" effect mode is selected without exception.

In the special figure 1 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e2 provided for each production mode set in the processing of S5519, the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the first holding ball execution area 273f is associated with the value. select a variation pattern. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time. In the thirteenth embodiment, in the determination of the fluctuation pattern at the time of the small hit, the fluctuation pattern of "45 seconds" without exception ""Fast fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "Low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "Normal reach ' variable element + variable element of 'special reach' + variable element of 're-variation'' is selected.

Next, in the process of S5520, special figure 2 change to determine whether or not to change the lottery result of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed by the small winning game of the first special symbol won this time Processing (S5520) is performed, and then the processing proceeds to S5527.

Here, with reference to FIG. 104, the special figure 2 change process (S5520), which is one process of the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. Figure 104 is a flow chart showing this special figure 2 change processing (S5520).

This special figure 2 change processing (S5520) is executed when the small winning game is won in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, and the big winning game or small winning game is executed in the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed. If it can occur, compare the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol set this time (that is, "45 seconds") with the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol being executed, When the fluctuation time of the dynamic display of the first special symbol set this time is shorter than the fluctuation time of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed, the content of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is a big hit. Alternatively, a process of changing from a small hit to a loss is performed.

MPU271, in this special figure 2 change processing (S5520), first, it is determined whether or not dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed (S5531). As a result of the determination, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol is not executed (S5531: No), since there is no dynamic display of the second special symbol to be changed, this special figure 2 change processing ( S5520) ends, and returns to the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (Fig. 103).

On the other hand, in the process of S5531, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed (S5531: Yes), the success or failure result indicated by the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is lost. It is determined whether or not (S5532). As a result of the determination, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is lost (S5532: Yes), since the large winning opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a will not be opened redundantly, in this case also This special figure 2 change processing (S5520) ends, returns to special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (Figure 103).

On the other hand, in the process of S5532, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is not a loss, that is, if it is a big hit or a small hit (S5532: No), then the second special symbol being executed The dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) is compared with the dynamic display variation time (ie, "45 seconds") of the first special symbol set this time, and the second special symbol motion during execution It is determined whether or not the target display variation time (remaining execution time) is longer than the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol set this time (that is, whether the remaining "45 seconds" or more) (S5533 ).

As a result of the determination of S5533, if it is determined that the dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) of the second special symbol being executed is longer than the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol set this time ( S5533: Yes), since the dynamic display of the first special symbol set this time derives the result first, the small winning game in the dynamic display of the first special symbol is preferentially executed, In order to prevent the opening of the duplicated large winning prize opening 65a or the small winning prize opening 72a, the success/fail result of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is changed to losing (S5534), and the second special symbol being executed is displayed. The dynamic display variation pattern (variation time) is set to be the same as the dynamic display variation pattern of the first special symbol set this time (that is, "45 seconds") (S5535). By constructing in this way, the winning result of the first special symbol derived earlier is preferentially executed, and the winning result of the second special symbol derived later is changed (erased), resulting in a duplicate big prize. It is possible to prevent the opening of the opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a in advance and to prevent excessive game value from being awarded to the player.

Next, along with setting the special figure 2 variation pattern command based on the variation pattern changed in the process of S5535 to the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM273 (S5536), based on the success or failure result changed in the process of S5534 Set the special figure 2 display mode command to the ring buffer for command transmission (S5537). In addition, after the processing of S5537, this special figure 2 change processing (S5520) ends, and returns to the special figure 1 change start processing (FIG. 103). Thereby, the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed next, the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 stop type command are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 be.

When the voice lamp control device 113 receives the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 stop type command, the variation pattern command for special figure 2 display and the special figure 2 to execute the variation effect of the second special symbol based on it A display type command is generated and transmitted to the display control device 114 .

Here, when executing the variation effect of each special symbol, the audio lamp control device 113 determines that it is a command transmission error when both the variation pattern command and the display mode command (in a set) cannot be received normally, and the command Execute an error variation (default variation) that suggests that a transmission error has occurred. Here, when the variation pattern (variation time) and the result of the dynamic display of the second special symbol are changed, only the variation pattern command or only the stop type command is transmitted, the voice lamp control device 113 Since the variation pattern command and the stop type command, which should be transmitted as a set, are not transmitted, there is a possibility that a command transmission error may be determined. Also, if the receiving program on the side of the sound lamp control device 113 is changed in consideration of the fact that the dynamic display of the second special symbol is changed, the control program must be newly designed, and the sound lamp control device The control program on the 113 side may become complicated.

Therefore, as in the thirteenth embodiment, when changing the content of the dynamic display of the second special symbol based on the content of the dynamic display of the first special symbol, the dynamic display of the second special symbol to be changed By transmitting the fluctuation pattern command and the stop type command as a set to the audio ramp control device 113, there is no need to change the control program on the audio ramp control device 113 side, thereby reducing design man-hours and reducing the control load. be able to. In addition, in the thirteenth embodiment, the variation effect of the special symbols executed by the third symbol display device 81 is configured to differ according to the game state. Here, when the content of the non-execution side special symbol variation performance is replaced by the third symbol display device 81, the non-execution side special symbol variation performance is not executed in the first place, so the non-execution side variation performance A comfortable game can be provided without making the player feel uncomfortable even when the replacement control is executed for .

In the process of S5533, the dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) of the second special symbol being executed is not longer than the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol set this time (that is, shorter). When it is determined (S5533: No), the dynamic display of the first special symbol set this time derives the result later, that is, the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is first. In order to derive the result of success or failure, the big winning game or the small winning game in the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is preferentially executed, and the opening of the duplicate large winning prize opening 65a or the small winning prize opening 72a is prevented. In order to prevent this, the success or failure result of the first special symbol set this time is changed to loss (S5538), and the dynamic display variation pattern (variation time) of the first special symbol set this time is changed to the second special symbol being executed. (S5539), to end this special figure 2 change processing (S5520), and return to the special figure 1 variation start processing (see FIG. 103). By constructing in this way, the winning result of the second special symbol derived first is preferentially executed, and the winning result of the first special symbol derived later is changed (erased), resulting in a duplicate big prize. It is possible to prevent the opening of the opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a in advance and to prevent excessive game value from being awarded to the player.

In addition, in the process of S5532, when it is determined that the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is a loss (S5532: Yes), the process is shifted to the process of S5535, and the second special symbol being executed The dynamic display variation pattern (variation time) may be set to be the same as the dynamic display variation pattern of the first special symbol set this time (that is, "45 seconds") (S5535 ). By constructing in this way, the result of the first special symbol to be derived first is preferentially executed, and the second special symbol to be derived later is also stopped in synchronization with the dynamic display of the first special symbol. It is possible to prevent the dynamic display from being executed in a situation where a big winning game or a small winning game is started.

Returning to FIG. 103, the description continues. In the process of S5517, when it is determined that it is not a small hit (S5517: No), then the dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed, and the lottery result of the big hit game in the dynamic display can be derived (S5521). Determination of whether or not a jackpot game can be derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed is based on the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g and the special pattern according to the game state. 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 87(b)) and when the jackpot is not derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed (S5521: No), then the first The value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273f and the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 set in S5515 or S5516 (see FIG. 87(a)). A jackpot lottery (win/fail judgment) process is performed (S5522).

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, whether or not a big win is determined based on the relationship between the set value set when the power is turned on, the value of the big win random number counter C1, and the game state (mode) at that time. be. As described above, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 87(a)), the jackpot random number value is provided with a setting difference, and the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a normal low probability state (That is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") and in the case of high probability state (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), the value of the jackpot random value (range) are configured differently.

Specifically, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a low-probability state with special symbols (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state"), the jackpot random number value for each set value is the set value In the case of "1", it is "0 to 49 (that is, 50 pieces)"; in the case of the setting value of "2", it is "0 to 51 (that is, 52 pieces)"; "0 to 53 (that is, 54 pieces)", "0 to 55 (that is, 56 pieces)" if the setting value is "4", and "0 to 57 (that is, 56 pieces)" if the setting value is "5" , 58)”, and when the set value is “6”, it is defined as “0 to 59 (that is, 60)”.

On the other hand, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a high-probability state with special symbols (i.e., "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), the jackpot random number value for each set value is the set value "1 ”, it is “0 to 499 (that is, 500 pieces)”; if the setting value is “2”, it is “0 to 519 (that is, 520 pieces)”; to 539 (that is, 540 pieces)”, if the setting value is “4”, it is “0 to 559 (that is, 560 pieces)”, and if the setting value is “5”, it is “0 to 579 (that is, 580 pieces)”. number)", and when the set value is "6", it is defined as "0 to 599 (that is, 600 pieces)".

Therefore, in the process of S5522, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f is compared with the jackpot random number specified in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, and they are If they match, it is determined to be a jackpot. As a result of the process of S5522, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the first special symbol this time is a jackpot (S5522: Yes), then the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f Based on the value and the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 (see FIG. 88(a)) corresponding to the first special symbol, the display mode at the time of the jackpot of the first special symbol is set (S5523).

In this process, according to the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f, that is, the maximum number of rounds is 16 rounds after the jackpot. "Probability fluctuation A" that shifts to "super probability fluctuation state", "Probability fluctuation B" that shifts to "probability fluctuation state" after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds, or " after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds It is discriminated whether it is "time shortening" that shifts to "time shortening state". Then, based on the determined jackpot type, the display mode (display mode of the upper LED group 39b1) at the time of the jackpot in the special symbol display device 39 is set. Specifically, the jackpot type is determined based on the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f and the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 (see FIG. 88(a)). .

Next, the variation pattern at the time of the big hit is determined (S5524), and the process proceeds to S5520. Specifically, first, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the display mode (stop type) at the time of the big hit and the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f A dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In determining the variation pattern at the time of the big win, first, the stop pattern table 272d (see FIG. 90 or 91) to be used is selected according to the stop type of the big win. Then, in the process of S5520, as in the case of winning a small hit, in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, the dynamic (fluctuation) time of the big hit scheduled to be executed this time, and in the dynamic display of the second special symbol Priority special symbols depending on whether a big win or a small win occurs and whether the dynamic display of the second special symbol is longer or shorter than the dynamic display of the first special symbol this time. to determine the jackpot or small hit.

In the thirteenth embodiment, there are three kinds of jackpot game types. A D table 272d4 (see FIG. 91(a)) is set. Then, in the D table 272d4, the effect mode associated with the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f is selected.

In the process of S5524, with reference to the selected effect mode and the special figure 1 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e2, the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f corresponds to Select the attached variation pattern. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

On the other hand, when it is determined that a jackpot can be derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed in the process of S5521 (S5521: Yes), a jackpot game is already derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol. Since it has been determined, the display mode at the time of losing is set so as not to derive the big hit redundantly in the dynamic display of the first special symbol (S5525).

In the process of S5525, the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is set to the display mode corresponding to the missing symbol, and a rough variation pattern (effect mode) is set. As the setting of the effect mode, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f, the total value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a and the second reserved ball number counter 273b, and the current Based on the game state, the production modes displayed on the third symbol display device 81 include a "non-reach (long)" production mode, a "non-reach (short)" production mode, a "normal reach" production mode, and a "super reach" production mode. One of the production mode, the "special reach" production mode, and the "super long fluctuation" production mode is set. In the thirteenth embodiment, depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is the "normal game state", the "super-probability fluctuation state", the "probability fluctuation state", or the "time reduction state", each effect mode The stop pattern table 272d is set so that the range of values of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to .

Next, the variation pattern at the time of losing is determined (S5526), and the process proceeds to SS5527. In the process of S5526, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display of the missing symbol is determined. Specifically, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 provided for each display mode (effect mode) at the time of losing determined in the process of S5525, the variation stored in the first holding ball execution area 273f A variation pattern associated with the value of the type counter CS1 is selected. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

In addition, in the process of S5522, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the first special symbol of this time is not a big hit (S5522: No), the process proceeds to S5525, the processes of S5525 and S5526 are performed, and the loss The hour display mode and fluctuation pattern are set.

In this way, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the small win, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the big win, and the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of losing are combined into the stop pattern table 272d. By using the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 to determine and determine by the same determination program, the program can be shared, and the development man-hours can be reduced at the time of development.

Next, in the processing of S5527, based on the variation time according to the variation pattern of the dynamic display of the first special symbol determined by the processing of S5519, S5524 or S5526, the variation pattern via the sound lamp control device 113 Set a special figure 1 variation pattern command to notify the display control device 114 of the variation time corresponding to (S5527).

Specifically, for example, when a jackpot lottery is won, the jackpot type is "probability fluctuation A", and a fluctuation pattern including a fluctuation factor of "super reach" of "25 seconds" is selected. , special figure 1 variation pattern command indicating "super reach" of special figure 1, jackpot, "probability variation A", "25 seconds" is set. Also, if you lose the jackpot lottery and furthermore, if a variation pattern that includes the variable element of "25 seconds" "super reach" is selected, special figure 1, loss, "25 seconds" "super reach" The special figure 1 variation pattern command shown is set. In this way, even if the fluctuation production is the same fluctuation time, the special pattern 1 fluctuation pattern command is set together with the type of special pattern, the propriety of the fluctuation production, and the contents of the rough fluctuation pattern. The device 113 grasps the type of the special symbol to be changed, the content of the performance mode including right or wrong, and the variation time, and can determine a more detailed variation pattern of the variation performance based on those information.

After the processing of S5527, the stop type of the dynamic display of the first special symbol set in the processing of S5518, S5523 or S5525, the special figure for notifying the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113 1 stop type command is set (S5528), this special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S5505) ends, returns to the special figure fluctuation processing (see Figure 102).

Specifically, for example, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "probability fluctuation A", the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "7" symbol etc.) is not specified, Set the special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is "probability variation A". In addition, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "time reduction", it is "time reduction" without specifying the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "4" symbol, etc.). Set the special figure 1 stop type command indicating that.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won and the "super reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "787" etc.) is not specified, and the " Set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a super reach” production mode. In addition, if the jackpot is not won and the "normal reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "737" etc.) is not specified, and the "normal reach" at the time of losing is selected. "Set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a production mode. Furthermore, if the jackpot is not won and the "non-reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "258" etc.) is not specified, and " Set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a non-reach production mode.

In this way, by setting a rough stop type based on the propriety of the variable effect to the special figure 1 stop type command, the audio lamp control device 113 (display control device 114) is a special symbol to be changed, and the propriety Based on this information, it is possible to determine a more detailed stop result of the variable effect.

These special figure 1 variation pattern commands and special figure 1 stop type commands are stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in RAM 273, and then external output processing of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) executed These commands are sent to the audio lamp controller 113 (S5101). When receiving the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, the voice lamp control device 113 generates the special figure 1 display variation pattern command and the special figure 1 display type command based on it, and the display control device 114 Send to

Next, with reference to FIG. 105, the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S5508), which is one process of the special figure fluctuation process (S5110) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. Figure 105 is a flow chart showing this special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S5508).

This special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S5508) relates to the second special symbol, and performs the same processing as the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S5505) regarding the first special symbol described above, and the second special symbol movement It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls (N2) of the second special symbol exists when the target display (variable effect) can be started, and if the number of reserved balls exists. 2, determination is made based on the game state, and the content of the dynamic display (variable effect) is determined based on the result of the determination. In addition, when a small win is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol, the dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed, and the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is the result of the dynamic display. is a big win or a small win, the execution time of the dynamic display of the second special symbol set this time is compared with the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed. Then, when it is determined that the execution time of the dynamic display of the second special symbol is shorter than the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the first special symbol, the motion of the first special symbol being executed While the target display is changed to the dynamic display of losing, the execution time is reset to stop simultaneously with the dynamic display of the second special symbol. Furthermore, when the dynamic display of the second special symbol is not a small win, when the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed has contents that can lead to a big win, a lottery for the second special symbol is performed. First, the dynamic display of the second special symbol is set as the dynamic display of losing.

By configuring in this way, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a big hit or a small win by the other special pattern during the execution of a big win or a small win by one special pattern, and a duplicate big win or small win (advantageous state) ), it is possible to prevent excessive game value from being paid out to the player.

In this special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S5508), first, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (dynamic display (variation effect) related to the second special symbol reserved in the main controller 110) It is determined whether or not the number of held balls N2) is greater than "0" (S5541). As a result, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (operational reserved ball number N2) is not greater than "0" (S5541: No), the number of reserved balls for dynamic display of the second special symbol to be started Since does not exist, this special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S5508) ends and returns to the special figure fluctuation processing (see FIG. 102).

On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S5541, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (operational reserved ball number N2) is not "0" (S5541: Yes), the dynamic display (variation effect) regarding the second special symbol It is the execution start timing, and it is determined that there is a dynamic display of the second special symbol to be started, and first, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (operation reserved ball number N2) is subtracted by 1 (S5542). This is because the execution of one dynamic display (variable effect) among the reserved dynamic displays (variable effects) relating to the second special symbol is started, and the number of reserved balls is reduced by one.

Next, in the processing of S5543, shift processing is performed on the data stored in the second reserved ball storage area 273e (S5543). This data shift process is a process for sequentially shifting the data stored in the first reserved first to fourth areas of the second reserved ball storage area 273e toward the second reserved ball execution area 273g. Reservation first area → second reservation ball execution area 273g, second reservation second area → second reservation first area, second reservation third area → second reservation second area, second reservation fourth area → second The data within each area is shifted, in a reserved third area, and so on.

Next, in the processing of S5544, it is determined whether or not the game state is a state of high probability of special symbols, that is, whether or not it is a "super-probability fluctuation state" or a "probability fluctuation state" (S5544). As a result of determination, if the game state is not a special symbol high probability state, that is, if it is determined to be "normal game state" or "time reduction state" (S5544: No), the second special symbol jackpot probability And since the small hit probability is in a low probability state, the special figure 2 big hit random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 87 (b)) for the low probability state of the second special symbol is set (S5545), and the process is performed to determine whether S5547 is correct or not. Move to judgment processing.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S5544, if the game state is a special symbol high probability state, that is, if it is a "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state" (S5544: Yes), the second special symbol Since the jackpot probability (and the small hit probability) is in a high probability state, the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 87(b)) for the high probability state of the second special symbol is set (S5546) and processed. to the success/failure determination process of S5547.

In the right or wrong determination process of S5547, first, the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g in the second special symbol and the special figure 2 big hit random number table 272a2 set in S5545 or S5546 (Fig. 87 (b)) to determine whether or not a small hit is won based on (S5547).

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, whether or not a small win is determined based on the relationship between the set value set when the power is turned on, the value of the big win random number counter C1, and the type of special symbol. As described above, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, there is no set difference in the small hit random numbers (that is, all 9400), but the number (range) of different jackpot random numbers for each set value By being changed, the small winning random number value (range) is configured to be different for each set value.

Specifically, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a low-probability state with special symbols (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state"), there are 9400 small hit random numbers for each set value. When the setting value is "1", it is "50 to 9449", when the setting value is "2", it is "52 to 9451", and when the setting value is "3", it is "54 to 9453". , "56 to 9455" for the setting value "4", "58 to 9457" for the setting value "5", and "60 to 9459" for the setting value "6". .

On the other hand, when the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a high-probability state with special symbols (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), the small winning random number for each set value is also 9400. , "500 to 9899" for the setting value "1", "520 to 9919" for the setting value "2", and "540 to 9939" for the setting value "3". A value of "4" defines a range of "560 to 9959", a set value of "5" defines a range of "580 to 9979", and a set value of "6" defines a range of "600 to 9999".

In the process of S5547, the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the second reservation ball execution area 273g is compared with the small hit random number value defined in the special figure 2 big hit random number table 272a2, and they match. If so, it is determined to be a small hit. As a result of the process of S5547, when it is determined that it is a small hit (S5547: Yes), the display mode at the time of the small hit is set (S5548). In the thirteenth embodiment, only one type of small winning game is provided, so when winning a small winning, the same without checking other counters (for example, big winning type counter C2) etc. The display mode (type) of the small hit game is set.

Next, in the process of S5549, the variation pattern at the time of the small hit is determined (S5549), and the process proceeds to S5550. Specifically, in the process of S5549, the variation pattern is determined by the same control program as that used when the big hit or the time of losing. That is, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, based on the display mode (stop type) at the time of the small hit and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g. A dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from the selected performance mode based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In the thirteenth embodiment, the E table 272d5 is selected without omission in determining the variation pattern at the time of the small hit, regardless of the game state and the number of reserved balls, and furthermore, "E9: special variation" is selected without omission in the E table 272d5. A presentation mode is selected.

Provided for each effect mode set in the processing of S5549, the normal special figure 2 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e4 referred to at the time of "normal game state", or "super probability variation state", "probability The value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the second holding ball execution area 273g in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 for probability variation/time reduction referred to during "variation state" or "time reduction state" Select the variation pattern associated with Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time. In the thirteenth embodiment, in the determination of the variation pattern at the time of the small hit, if it is a "normal game state", it is a variation pattern of "630 seconds" without exception. Variable element of "low speed fluctuation" + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "re-variation"" is selected, "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "time If it is "shortened state", "only the variable element of 'high-speed variation (ultra-short)'" which is the variation pattern of '3 seconds' is selected without exception.

Next, in the process of S5550, special figure 1 change to determine whether or not to change the lottery result of the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed by the small winning game of the second special symbol won this time. Processing (S5550) is performed, and then the processing proceeds to S5557.

Here, with reference to FIG. 106, the special figure 1 change process (S5550) which is one process of the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S5508) performed by MPU271 in the main control unit 110 is demonstrated. FIG. 106 is a flow chart showing this special figure 1 change processing (S5550).

This special figure 1 change processing (S5550) is executed when the small winning game is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol, and the big winning game or the small winning game is executed in the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed. When it can occur, the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol set this time (that is, "630 seconds" or "3 seconds") and the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol being executed , and if the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol set this time is shorter than the dynamic display variation time of the first special symbol being executed, the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed Processing is performed to change the content of the display from a big win or a small win to a loss.

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed in this special figure 1 change process (S5550) (S5561). As a result of the determination, if the dynamic display of the first special symbol is not executed (S5561: No), there is no dynamic display of the first special symbol to be changed, so this special figure 1 change process ( S5550) ends, and returns to the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (Fig. 105).

On the other hand, in the process of S5561, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed (S5561: Yes), the success or failure result indicated by the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is lost. It is determined whether or not (S5562). As a result of the determination, if the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is lost (S5562: Yes), since the large winning opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a will not be opened redundantly, in this case also This special figure 1 change processing (S5550) ends, returns to special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (Figure 105).

On the other hand, in the process of S5562, if the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is not a loss, that is, if it is a big hit or a small hit (S5562: No), then the first special symbol being executed The variation time of dynamic display (remaining execution time) is compared with the variation time of dynamic display of the second special symbol set this time (that is, "630 seconds" or "3 seconds"), and the second during execution Whether the dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) of 1 special symbol is longer than the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol set this time (that is, the remaining "630 seconds" or "3 seconds" above or not) is determined (S5563). In addition, in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, since it is configured so that the variation pattern of "630 seconds" or more cannot be selected, it is configured to determine whether it is "3 seconds" or more in S5563. may

As a result of the determination of S5563, if it is determined that the dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) of the first special symbol being executed is longer than the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol set this time ( S5563: Yes), since the dynamic display of the second special symbol set this time derives the result first, the small winning game in the dynamic display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed, In order to prevent the opening of the duplicated large winning prize opening 65a or the small winning prize opening 72a, the success/fail result of the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is changed to a loss (S5564), and the first special symbol being executed is displayed. The dynamic display variation pattern (variation time) is set to be the same as the dynamic display variation pattern of the second special symbol set this time (that is, "630 seconds" or "3 seconds") (S5565). By constructing in this way, the winning result of the second special symbol derived first is preferentially executed, and the winning result of the first special symbol derived later is changed (erased), resulting in a duplicate big prize. It is possible to prevent the opening of the opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a in advance and to prevent excessive game value from being awarded to the player.

Next, along with setting the special figure 1 variation pattern command based on the variation pattern changed in the process of S5565 to the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM273 (S5566), based on the result changed in the process of S5564 Set the special figure 1 display mode command to the ring buffer for command transmission (S5567). In addition, after the processing of S5567, this special figure 1 change processing (S5550) ends, and returns to the special figure 2 change start processing (FIG. 105). Thereby, the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed next, the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 be.

In the process of S5563, the dynamic display variation time (remaining execution time) of the first special symbol being executed is not longer than the dynamic display variation time of the second special symbol set this time (that is, shorter) When it is determined (S5563: No), the dynamic display of the second special symbol set this time derives the result later, that is, the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is earlier. In order to derive the result of success or failure, the big winning game or the small winning game in the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed is preferentially executed, and the opening of the duplicate large winning prize opening 65a or the small winning prize opening 72a is prevented. In order to prevent this, the success or failure result of the second special symbol set this time is changed to loss (S5568), and the dynamic display variation pattern (variation time) of the second special symbol set this time is changed to the first special symbol being executed. (S5569), to end the special figure 1 change processing (S5550), and return to the special figure 2 variation start processing (see FIG. 105). By constructing in this way, the winning result of the first special symbol derived earlier is preferentially executed, and the winning result of the second special symbol derived later is changed (erased), resulting in a duplicate big prize. It is possible to prevent the opening of the opening 65a or the small winning opening 72a in advance and to prevent excessive game value from being awarded to the player.

Returning to FIG. 105, the description continues. In the process of S5547, when it is determined that it is not a small hit (S5547: No), then the dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed, and the lottery result of the big hit game in the dynamic display can be derived (S5551). This determination is performed by referring to the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f and the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 87(a)) according to the game state, When the big hit is not derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed (S5551: No), then the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g and S5545 or S5546. A jackpot lottery (win/fail judgment) process for determining whether or not a jackpot is performed based on the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 87(b)) set in (S5552).

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, whether or not a big win is determined based on the relationship between the set value set when the power is turned on, the value of the big win random number counter C1, and the game state (mode) at that time. be. As described above, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 87(b)), like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 87(a)), the jackpot random number is provided with a setting difference. In addition, the game state (mode) of the pachinko machine 10 is a normal low-probability state (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") and a high-probability state (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state"). Or "probability fluctuation state"), the value (range) of the jackpot random number value is configured to be different. In addition, since the range of the jackpot random number value in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is equivalent to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, the description thereof is omitted.

Therefore, in the process of S5552, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g is compared with the jackpot random number specified in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, and they are If they match, it is determined to be a jackpot. As a result of the process of S5552, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the second special symbol this time is a big win (S5552: Yes), then the big win type counter C2 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g Based on the value and the special figure 2 big hit type table 272b2 (see FIG. 88(b)) corresponding to the second special symbol, the display mode at the time of the big hit of the second special symbol is set (S5553).

In this process, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g by the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2, that is, the maximum number of rounds after the jackpot of 16 rounds "Probability fluctuation A" that shifts to "super probability fluctuation state", "Probability fluctuation B" that shifts to "probability fluctuation state" after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds, or " after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 6 rounds It is discriminated whether it is "time shortening" that shifts to "time shortening state". Then, based on the determined jackpot type, the display mode (display mode of the lower LED group 39b2) at the time of the jackpot in the special symbol display device 39 is set. Specifically, the jackpot type is determined based on the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g and the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 (see FIG. 88(b)). .

Next, the variation pattern at the time of the big hit is determined (S5554), and the process proceeds to S5550. Specifically, first, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the display mode (stop type) at the time of the big hit and the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g A dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In determining the variation pattern at the time of the big win, first, the stop pattern table 272d (see FIG. 90 or 91) to be used is selected according to the stop type of the big win. Then, in the process of S5550, as in the case where the small hit is won, in the dynamic display of the second special symbol, the dynamic (fluctuation) time of the big hit scheduled to be executed this time and the dynamic display of the first special symbol Priority special symbols depending on whether a big win or a small win occurs and whether the dynamic display of the first special symbol is longer or shorter than the dynamic display of the second special symbol this time. to determine a jackpot or a small hit.

In the thirteenth embodiment, there are three kinds of jackpot game types. A D table 272d4 (see FIG. 91(a)) is set. Then, in the D table 272d4, the effect mode associated with the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g is selected.

Provided for each effect mode selected in the process of S5554, the normal special figure 2 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e4 referred to at the time of "normal game state", or "super probability variation state", "probability The value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the second holding ball execution area 273g in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e6 for probability variation/time reduction referred to during "variation state" or "time reduction state" Select the variation pattern associated with Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

On the other hand, when it is determined that a jackpot can be derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed in the process of S5551 (S5551: Yes), a jackpot game is already derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol. Since it has been determined, the display mode at the time of losing is set so as not to derive the big hit redundantly in the dynamic display of the second special symbol (S5555).

In the process of S5555, the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is set to the display mode corresponding to the missing symbol, and a rough variation pattern (effect mode) is set. As the setting of the effect mode, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g, the total value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a and the second reserved ball number counter 273b, and the current Based on the game state, as the effect modes to be displayed in the third symbol display device 81, the "non-reach (long)" effect mode, the "non-reach (short)" effect mode, the "normal reach" effect mode, and the "super reach" effect mode. One of the effect mode, the "special reach" effect mode, and the "super long fluctuation" effect mode is set. In the thirteenth embodiment, depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is the "normal game state", the "super-probability fluctuation state", the "probability fluctuation state", or the "time reduction state", each effect mode The stop pattern table 272d is set so that the range of values of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to .

Next, the variation pattern at the time of losing is determined (S5556), and the process proceeds to SS5557. In the process of S5556, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display of the missing symbol is determined. Specifically, it is provided for each display mode (production mode) at the time of loss determined in the process of S5555, and is referred to during the "normal game state". Stored in the second holding ball execution area 273g in the special figure 2 loss variation pattern table 272e5 for probability variation / time saving referred to at the time of "super probability variation state", "probability variation state" or "time reduction state" Select the variation pattern associated with the value of the variation type counter CS1. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

In addition, in the process of S5552, if it is determined that the dynamic display of the second special symbol of this time is not a big hit (S5552: No), the process proceeds to S5555, the processes of S5555 and S5556 are performed, and the loss The hour display mode and fluctuation pattern are set.

In this way, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the small hit in the second special symbol, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the big hit, and the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of losing, By determining and determining with the same determination program using the same random values C3 and CS1, the program can be shared and the number of development man-hours can be reduced at the time of development. In addition, by determining and determining the suitability determination processing for the second special symbol and the suitability determination processing for the first special symbol by the same determination program, the program can be shared, and the development man-hours at the time of development can be reduced. be able to.

Next, in the processing of S5557, based on the variation time according to the variation pattern of the dynamic display of the second special symbol determined by the processing of S5549, S5554 or S5556, the variation pattern via the sound lamp control device 113 Set a special figure 2 variation pattern command to notify the display control device 114 of the variation time corresponding to (S5557).

Specifically, for example, when a jackpot lottery is won, the jackpot type is "probability fluctuation A", and a fluctuation pattern including a fluctuation factor of "super reach" of "25 seconds" is selected. , special figure 2 variation pattern command indicating "super reach" of special figure 2, jackpot, "probability variation A", "25 seconds" is set. Also, if you lose the jackpot lottery and furthermore, if a variation pattern that includes the variable element of "25 seconds" "super reach" is selected, special figure 2, loss, "25 seconds" "super reach" The special figure 2 variation pattern command shown is set. In this way, even if the fluctuation production is the same fluctuation time, the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern command is set together with the type of special pattern, the propriety of the fluctuation production, and the contents of the rough fluctuation pattern. The device 113 grasps the type of the special symbol to be changed, the content of the performance mode including right or wrong, and the variation time, and can determine a more detailed variation pattern of the variation performance based on those information.

After the processing of S5557, S5548, S5553 or S5555 the stop type of dynamic display of the second special symbol set in the processing of S5555, the special figure for notifying the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113 2 stop type command is set (S5558), this special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S5508) ends, returns to special figure fluctuation processing (figure 102 reference).

Specifically, for example, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "probability fluctuation A", the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "7" symbol etc.) is not specified, Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is "probability variation A". In addition, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "time reduction", it is "time reduction" without specifying the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "4" symbol, etc.). Set the special figure 2 stop type command indicating that.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won and the "super reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "787" etc.) is not specified, and the " Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a super reach” production mode. In addition, if the jackpot is not won and the "normal reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "737" etc.) is not specified, and the "normal reach" at the time of losing is selected. "Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a production mode. Furthermore, if the jackpot is not won and the "non-reach" production mode is selected, the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "258" etc.) is not specified, and " Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a non-reach production mode.

In this way, by setting a rough stop type based on the propriety of the variation effect to the special figure 2 stop type command, the audio lamp control device 113 (display control device 114) is a special symbol to be changed, and the propriety It is possible to grasp the type of stop based on the information, and determine the stop result of the more detailed variable effect based on that information.

These special figure 2 variation pattern command and special figure 2 stop classification command are stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in RAM273, external output processing of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) executed next These commands are sent to the audio lamp controller 113 (S5101). When the audio lamp control device 113 receives a special figure 2 variation pattern command or a special figure 2 stop type command, it generates a special figure 2 display variation pattern command or a special figure 2 display type command based on it, and the display control device 114 Send to

Next, with reference to FIG. 107, the variation stop process (S5509), which is one process of the special figure variation process (S5110) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 107 is a flowchart showing this fluctuation stop processing (S5509).

In this fluctuation stop processing (S5110), the display contents of the upper LED group 39b1 or the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39 are changed during the dynamic display of the first special symbol or the dynamic display of the second special symbol. When the end timing of each dynamic display comes, a determination command corresponding to the special pattern to end is set, and the fluctuation of the dynamic display of the special pattern at the end timing is stopped.

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed in the special symbol display device 39 in the fluctuation stop processing (S5509) (S5571). As a result of determination, if dynamic display of the first special symbol is not executed (S5571: No), skip S5572 to S5581 regarding the stop processing of the first special symbol, and proceed to S5582.

On the other hand, if the dynamic display of the first special symbol is being executed (S5571: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the execution time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display of the first special symbol being executed has passed. (S5572). The display time during the dynamic display of the first special symbol of the special symbol display device 39 is determined according to the variation pattern selected by the variation type counter CS1 (Determined according to the special figure 1 variation pattern command ), if this dynamic display time (fluctuation time) has not passed (S5572: No), the display of the upper LED group 39b1 in the special symbol display device 39 is updated (S5573), and the process proceeds to S5582. .

In the thirteenth embodiment, in the upper LED group 39b1 of the special symbol display device 39, from the start of the dynamic display of the first special symbol until the fluctuation time elapses, for example, the uppermost LED of the upper LED group 39b1 The LEDs from the top to the bottom are lit one by one in order, and when the lowest LED is lit, the lighting pattern is repeatedly displayed in which the LEDs from the top to the bottom are lit one by one again. set.

On the other hand, if the dynamic display time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display of the first special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 has passed (S5572: Yes), the upper LED group 39b1 of the special symbol display device 39 , the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set (S5574). The stop design is preset by special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (see FIG. 103), special figure 2 change processing (see FIG. 104) or special figure 1 change processing (see FIG. 106). By processing S5518, S5523 or S5525 of the special figure 1 fluctuation start process, or S5538 of the special figure 2 change process, the big hit or small according to the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the first reserved ball execution area 273f A hit or miss is determined. Then, in the case of a big win, the value of the big win type counter C2 is used to determine after the big win whether the pattern is ``probability variation A'', ``probability variation B'' or ``time reduction''. be. In addition, when it is a small win, a symbol corresponding to the small win is determined. Furthermore, in the case of a loss, a symbol corresponding to the loss is determined.

When the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the processing of S5574, the stop symbol of the variable effect on the third symbol display device 81 is displayed on the upper LED group 39b1 on the special symbol display device 39. In order to synchronize and confirm and display, the special figure 1 confirmation command is set (S5575), and the process proceeds to S5576.

The special figure 1 confirmation command is a command for confirming and displaying the variation effect corresponding to the first special symbol being executed on the third symbol display device 81 . When the audio lamp control device 113 receives this special figure 1 confirmation command, it transmits a confirmation command for special figure 1 display to the display control device 114 . The display control device 114 receives the confirmation command for special figure 1 display, stops the variation production of the third and fourth symbols corresponding to the first special symbol in the third symbol display device 81, and stops the stop symbol. is configured to be definite and displayed.

Next, in the process of S5576, it is determined whether or not the value of a time reduction counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 is greater than "0" in order to determine whether or not the "time reduction state" (S5576 ).

This time-saving counter is a counter for indicating that it is a "time reduction state", and a predetermined number ("50" in the thirteenth embodiment) value at the end of the jackpot type corresponding to "time reduction" set. Then, the value of the time-saving counter is subtracted by 1 each time the dynamic display of either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is executed once, and the value of the time-saving counter is greater than "0". Then, the game state is determined as "time reduction state". Specifically, in the jackpot ending process (see FIG. 112), which is one process of the jackpot process (see FIG. 109) described later, when the jackpot state ends and the "time reduction state" is started, that is, "time "50" is set at the end of the jackpot of the jackpot type corresponding to "shortening".

In addition, the value of this time saving counter is configured to be decremented during the dynamic display of any special symbol, but it is configured to be decremented only when one of the special symbols is dynamically displayed. may Specifically, for example, the value of the time saving counter is not decremented when the dynamic display of the first special symbol is executed, and the value of the time saving counter is decremented only when the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed. By configuring in this way, for example, in the "time shortened state", even if the dynamic display of the first special symbol that does not have the winning assistance function is executed, the "time shortened state" continues to be maintained and the winning assistance is performed. The "time reduction state" can be digested only when the dynamic display of the second special symbol having the function is executed. Therefore, in the entire "time shortening state", the dynamic display of the special symbols having the winning assistance function can be executed, and the game value of the game having the winning assistance function can be fully given to the player, thereby enhancing the interest of the game. can be improved.

In addition, a time-saving counter is provided for each special symbol, and the time-saving counter has a different value for each special symbol (for example, the time-saving counter for the first special symbol is "10", and the time-saving counter for the second special symbol is is set to "100"), and when the value of one of the time saving counters becomes "0", the "time saving state" may be terminated. By configuring in this way, by providing a plurality of end conditions for the "time shortening state", it is possible to provide variations in the game and improve the interest in the game.

In the process of S5576, if the value of the time saving counter is greater than "0" (S5576: Yes), it is a "time shortening state", and the dynamic display of the first special symbol (variation effect) has ended once, so time saving The counter value is decremented by 1 (S5577), and the process proceeds to S5578. On the other hand, in the process of S5576, if the value of the time saving counter is not greater than "0" (S5576: No), it is not a "time reduction state", but a "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "normal game state”, the process of S5577 is skipped and the process proceeds to S5578.

In the processing of S5578, it is determined whether or not a big win is derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol stopped this time (S5578). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the big hit is not derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol stopped this time (S5578: No), then the small hit in the dynamic display of the first special symbol stopped this time. is derived (S5579). In the process of S5578 or S5579, if it is determined that the big hit is derived (S5578: Yes), or if it is determined that the small hit is derived (S5579: Yes), the first special symbol to be stopped this time In order to stop the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed in order to preferentially execute the jackpot game or small winning game based on the dynamic display of , to the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39 , the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set (S5580). In this case, since the stop pattern of the dynamic display of the second special pattern has been changed to the display mode corresponding to the loss by S5534 of the special figure 2 change processing (see FIG. 104), the pattern corresponding to the loss is determined. be.

When the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the process of S5580, the stop symbol of the variable effect corresponding to the second special symbol in the third symbol display device 81 is displayed in the special symbol display device 39. In order to perform the confirmation display in synchronization with the display of the lower LED group 39b2, the special figure 2 confirmation command is set (S5581), and the process proceeds to S5582.

The special figure 2 confirmation command is a command for confirming and displaying the variation effect corresponding to the second special symbol being executed on the third symbol display device 81 . When the audio lamp control device 113 receives this special figure 2 decision command, it transmits a special figure 2 display decision command to the display control device 114 . The display control device 114 receives the special figure 2 display confirmation command, stops the variation production of the third and fourth symbols corresponding to the second special symbol in the third symbol display device 81, and stops the stop symbol. is configured to be definite and displayed.

In addition, in the process of S5579, when it is determined that the small hit is not derived in the dynamic display of the first special symbol that is stopped this time (S5579: No), the processes of S5580 and S5581 are skipped, and the process proceeds to S5582. to

Next, in the process of S5582, it is determined whether or not dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed in the special symbol display device 39 (S5582). As a result of determination, if dynamic display of the second special symbol is not executed (S5582: No), skip S5583 to S5592 regarding the stop processing of the second special symbol, and end this fluctuation stop processing (S5509). , Returns to the special figure variation process (see FIG. 102).

On the other hand, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol is being executed (S5582: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the execution time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed has elapsed. (S5583). The display time during the dynamic display of the second special symbol of the special symbol display device 39 is determined according to the variation pattern selected by the variation type counter CS1 (Determined according to the special figure 2 variation pattern command ), if this dynamic display time (fluctuation time) has not passed (S5583: No), the display of the lower LED group 39b2 in the special symbol display device 39 is updated (S5584), and this dynamic stop process (S5509 ) and returns to the special figure variation process (see FIG. 102).

In the thirteenth embodiment, in the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39, from the start of the dynamic display of the second special symbol until the fluctuation time elapses, similar to the upper LED group 39b1, for example, the lower LED A lighting pattern in which the LEDs from the top to the bottom of the group 39b2 are sequentially lit one by one, and when the LEDs at the bottom are lit, the LEDs from the top to the bottom are sequentially lit again. is set to be displayed repeatedly.

On the other hand, if the dynamic display time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display of the second special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 has passed (S5583: Yes), the lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39 , the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set (S5585). The stop design is preset by special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (see FIG. 105), special figure 1 change processing (see FIG. 106) or special figure 2 change processing (see FIG. 104). By processing S5548, S5553 or S5555 of the special figure 2 fluctuation start process, or S5568 of the special figure 1 change process, the big hit or small according to the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the second reserved ball execution area 273g A hit or miss is determined. Then, in the case of a big win, the value of the big win type counter C2 is used to determine after the big win whether the pattern is ``probability variation A'', ``probability variation B'' or ``time reduction''. be. In addition, when it is a small win, a symbol corresponding to the small win is determined. Furthermore, in the case of a loss, a symbol corresponding to the loss is determined.

When the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the process of S5585, the stop symbol of the variable effect on the third symbol display device 81 is displayed on the lower LED group 39b2 on the special symbol display device 39. In order to synchronize and confirm and display, the special figure 2 confirmation command is set (S5586), and the process proceeds to S5587.

Next, in the process of S5587, it is determined whether or not the value of a time saving counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 is greater than "0" in order to determine whether or not it is in the "time shortening state" (S5587 ). As a result of the determination, if the value of the time saving counter is greater than "0" (S5587: Yes), it means "time shortening state", and the dynamic display (variation effect) of the second special symbol is completed once, so the time saving counter is subtracted by 1 (S5588), and the process proceeds to S5589. On the other hand, in the process of S5587, if the value of the time saving counter is not greater than "0" (S5587: No), instead of the "time reduction state", the "super probability fluctuation state", "probability fluctuation state" or "normal game state”, the process of S5588 is skipped and the process proceeds to S5589.

In the processing of S5589, it is determined whether or not a big hit is derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol stopped this time (S5589). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the big hit is not derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol stopped this time (S5589: No), then the small hit in the dynamic display of the second special symbol stopped this time is derived (S5590). In the processing of S5589 or S5590, if it is determined that the big hit is derived (S5589: Yes), or if it is determined that the small hit is derived (S5590: Yes), the second special symbol to be stopped this time For the upper LED group 39b1 of the special symbol display device 39 to stop the dynamic display of the second special symbol being executed in order to preferentially execute the jackpot game or small winning game based on the dynamic display of , the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set (S5592). In this case, since the stopped design of the dynamic display of the first special design has been changed to the display mode corresponding to the loss by S5564 of the special figure 1 change processing (see FIG. 106), the design corresponding to the loss is determined. be.

When the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the process of S5591, the stop symbol of the variable effect corresponding to the first special symbol in the third symbol display device 81 is displayed in the special symbol display device 39. In order to confirm and display in sync with the display of the upper LED group 39b1, set the special figure 1 confirmation command (S5592), end this motion stop processing (S5509), and special figure fluctuation processing (see FIG. 102) return.

In addition, in the process of S5590, if it is determined that the small hit is not derived in the dynamic display of the second special symbol that is stopped this time (S5590: No), this fluctuation stop process (S5509) is terminated, and the special figure Return to the variation process (see FIG. 102).

Thus, in the fluctuation stop processing (S5509), by separately determining the stop timing of the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the stop timing of the dynamic display of the second special symbol, each special Each special symbol can be individually stop-displayed even when the variable performance of the symbols is executed, and the matching performance can be executed. In addition, when a big hit or a small hit is derived in the fluctuation performance of one special symbol, just in case, a confirmation command is also transmitted to the fluctuation performance of the other special symbol, and the fluctuation of the other special symbol is performed. It is possible to reliably stop the production. The fixed command is a command to perform only the process of stopping the variable performance, and even if the second fixed command is transmitted in duplicate for the variable performance of the special symbol of 1, a discrepancy in performance occurs. Therefore, the audio lamp control device 113 also does not make an error determination even if the confirmation command is received in duplicate. Therefore, even if 2 fixed commands are transmitted for the variable performance of 1 special pattern, no trouble occurs, the variable performance can be surely stopped, and the consistent performance can be executed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 108, the normal chart fluctuation process (S5111), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 108 is a flow chart showing this normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111). This normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111) is to control variable display of normal patterns in the normal pattern display device 83. FIG.

The MPU 271, in the normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111), firstly determines whether or not the normal electric part 64c is currently open (in operation), that is, whether or not the normal pattern is winning (S5601). ). As a result of the determination, if the normal electric part 64c is open (S5601: Yes), it means that the normal symbol is being won, so the normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111) is terminated as it is, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) ).

On the other hand, if the normal electric part 64c is not open (S5601: No), it is not during the winning of the normal symbols. It is determined (S5602). As a result of the determination, if the display mode of the normal design display device 83 is not in the variable display of the normal design (S5602: No), then after the variable display in the normal design display device 83 stops, a predetermined time (for example, "1 second ”) It is determined whether or not it has passed (S5603). As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed after the stop of the variable display (S5603: No), the normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111) is terminated and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. As a result, the stopped symbols in the variable display are displayed on the normal symbol display device 83 for a predetermined time, so that the player can visually recognize the stopped symbols.

On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S5603, if a predetermined time has passed after the variable display is stopped (S5603: Yes), the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h (variable It is determined whether or not the displayed number of balls in operation (HN) is greater than "0" (S5604).

As a result of the processing of S5604, if the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h (operation reserved ball number HN) is not greater than "0" (S5604: No), there is a normal pattern variable display reserved ball number to be executed. Since it is not to be done, this normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111) is terminated and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. On the other hand, if the value of the normal pattern reserved ball number counter 273h (actuated reserved ball number HN) is a value greater than "0" (S5604: Yes), it means that it is time to start executing variable display regarding the reserved normal pattern. First, 1 is subtracted from the value of the normal figure reserved ball number counter 273h (operation reserved ball number HN) (S5605). This is due to the processing (S5606 to S5613) to be described later, with the start of the execution of one variable display of the variable display regarding the normal design that has been reserved, the number of reserved balls regarding the normal design is reduced by one. Because.

Next, the shift processing is performed on the data stored in the normal figure holding ball storage area 273i (S5606). This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas of the general pattern reservation ball storage area 273i toward the general pattern reservation ball execution area 273j. Reservation 1st area → Normal pattern reservation ball execution area 273j, General pattern reservation 2nd area → General pattern reservation 1st area, General pattern reservation 3rd area → General pattern reservation 2nd area, General pattern reservation 4th area → General pattern The data within each area is shifted, in a reserved third area, and so on.

After the data shift processing of S5606, based on the data (that is, the value of the counter C4 per normal pattern) stored in the normal pattern holding ball execution area 273j by the data shift processing, the normal pattern in the normal pattern display device 83 is variable. To execute the display, first, it is determined whether or not the game state is the "normal game state" or the "super-probability fluctuation state" (S5607). As a result of determination, when it is determined to be "normal game state" or "super-probability fluctuation state" (S5607: Yes), the variable display time of normal symbols is set to "5 seconds" (S5608), and the process proceeds to S5610. Transition. On the other hand, if the gaming state is determined to be neither the "normal gaming state" nor the "super-probability fluctuation state", that is, if it is determined to be the "probability fluctuation state" or the "time reduction state" (S5607: No), The variable display time of normal symbols is set to "0.5 second", which is shorter than "normal game state" or "super-probability fluctuation state" (S5609), and the process proceeds to S5610.

As a result, in the "probability change state" or "time reduction state" in the right-handed game, while the ball is rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric part 64c (that is, about 3 seconds), the variable display of the normal symbol stops, and when a win is achieved with the variable display, the normal electric wheel 64c is opened, and almost all the balls rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric wheel 64c fall downward on the game board 13 when viewed from the front. and flows into the second starting port 64b (that is, does not flow into the small prize winning port 72a side). On the other hand, in the "super-probability fluctuation state" in the right-handed game, while the ball is rolling on the upper surface of the normal electric player 64c, the variable display of the normal symbol may not stop, and the upper surface of the normal electric player 64c may not stop. It is configured so that it can roll from the right end to the left end and flow down to the small winning opening 72 a side of the second variable winning device 72 . Therefore, even in the same right-handed game, it is possible to create a game state in which the player enters the small winning hole 72a and a game state in which the player does not enter the small prize-winning hole 72a, thereby enriching the variation of the game and improving the interest of the game.

In the process of S5610, the normal symbol per random number table 272f is referenced according to the game state to determine whether the stop symbol in the variable display of the normal symbol, that is, the propriety of the variable display of the normal symbol is determined (S5610). Specifically, in the "normal game state" and "super-probability fluctuation state", that is, in the low probability state of the normal pattern, referring to the group for the low probability state in the random number table 272f per normal pattern, the normal pattern holding ball The value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern stored in the execution area 273j is determined, and the stop pattern of the variable display of the normal pattern (that is, the propriety of the normal pattern) is determined. In addition, in the "probability fluctuation state" and "time reduction state", that is, in the high probability state of the normal pattern, the group for the high probability state in the random number table 272f per normal pattern is referred to, and the normal pattern holding ball execution area 273j The value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern stored is determined, and the stopped pattern of the variable display of the normal pattern (that is, the propriety of the normal pattern) is determined. After the process of S5610, this normal figure fluctuation process (S5111) is ended, and it returns to a timer interruption process (refer FIG. 98).

As a result, by changing the win/loss probability of normal symbols according to the game state, it is possible to determine whether or not the normal electric combination 64c is likely to open when the ball passes through the through gate 67 when the player hits to the right. can make a difference. As a result, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, it is in a state where the normal electric circuit 64c is likely to open (that is, a state with a high probability of normal symbols) and is likely to flow into the second starting port 64b side. In a situation where it is difficult to open the electric player 64c (that is, a low probability state of normal symbols), the upper surface of the closed (protruding) normal electric player 64c rolls from the right end to the left end, and goes to the small winning opening 72a side. Different game characteristics can be created for each game state by making the situation that can flow into the game state different.

In the process of S5602, when it is determined that the display mode of the normal symbol display device 83 is in variable display (S5602: Yes), it is determined whether or not the variable display time has elapsed (S5611). The variable display time of the normal symbol display device 83 is determined according to the game state by the processing of S5608 or S5609, and if this variable display time has not passed (S5611: No), the normal symbol display device 83 is displayed. is updated (S5612), this normal pattern fluctuation process (S5111) is terminated, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, if the variable display time of the variable display in the normal symbol display device 83 has passed (S5611: Yes), the normal symbol display device 83 is set to display mode corresponding to the stop symbol preset by S5610. Then (S5613), this normal pattern fluctuation processing (S5111) is terminated, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to.

Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, the variable display in the normal symbol display device 83 is set based on the normal symbol variation processing (S5111), and the normal symbol is displayed. From the start of the variable display on the display device 83 until the variable display time elapses, the symbol "O" and the symbol "X" are alternately lit. When the result of the variable display is a win, the symbol "O" is lit, and when the result is a loss, the symbol "x" is lit.

Next, with reference to FIG. 109, the winning process (S5103), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 109 is a flow chart showing this winning process (S5103).

As described above, this winning process (S5103) sets the number of openings (number of rounds) of the big winning opening 65a according to the type of big winning (big winning type) when a special symbol big winning occurs. The opening time of the winning opening 65a is set. Then, in the case of the jackpot state, the large winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 110) for controlling the opening or closing of the large winning opening 65a is executed. Also, when the big win ends, a big win ending process (see FIG. 112) for ending the big win is executed. Furthermore, when a small win of a special symbol occurs, the number of opening times (number of rounds) of the small winning prize opening 72a is set, and the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a is set. Then, in the case of the small winning state, the small winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 113) for controlling the opening or closing of the small winning opening 72a is executed.

That is, in the jackpot game, the jackpot 65a is opened for each round in the jackpot state, and the maximum opening time of the jackpot 65a ("30 seconds" in the thirteenth embodiment) has passed, or the jackpot The closing condition is determined whether or not a specified number of balls (10 in the thirteenth embodiment) have won in 65a. Then, when any one of these closing conditions is satisfied, the big winning opening 65a is closed, and control for opening and closing of this big winning opening 65a is repeatedly executed for a predetermined number of rounds.

In addition, in the small winning game, the small winning opening 72a is opened in the round of the small winning state (that is, 1 round), and the maximum opening time of the small winning opening 72a ("1.8 seconds" in the thirteenth embodiment) is It is determined whether the closing condition has passed or whether a specified number of balls (one ball in the thirteenth embodiment) have won in the small winning hole 72a. Then, when any one of these closing conditions is established, the small winning prize opening 72a is closed, and the control for opening and the control for closing the small winning prize opening 72a are executed only once.

In the winning process (S5103), the MPU 271 first determines whether or not a big winning lottery result has been derived as a dynamic display lottery result of any special symbol (S5701). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the lottery result of the jackpot has been derived as the lottery result of the dynamic display (variation effect) of any special symbol (S5701: Yes), to execute the control related to the jackpot that has been won. First, the number of rounds corresponding to the winning jackpot type is set in a round counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 (S5702). Then, in order to transmit a jackpot opening command indicating the start of the jackpot to the sound lamp control device 113, the jackpot opening command is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S5703), and then A jackpot opening time (for example, "5 seconds") is set (S5704), and the process proceeds to S5709. Thereby, the jackpot opening command is transmitted toward the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process executed next.

When any jackpot is won, both the special pattern and the normal pattern are set to a low probability state during the jackpot regardless of the game state and jackpot type. By constructing in this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the winning of the second start opening 64b based on the winning of the normal symbol occurs frequently during the big win.

On the other hand, in the processing of S5701, when it is determined that the jackpot lottery result is not derived (not elected) as the lottery result of the dynamic display (variation effect) of any special symbol (S5701: No) Next, it is determined whether or not a small winning lottery result has been derived as the lottery result of the dynamic display (S5705). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the lottery result of the small win is derived (won) in the dynamic display (variation effect) of any special symbol (S5705: Yes), control regarding the won small win is executed. For this purpose, first, a round counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 is set to "1", which is the number of rounds according to the winning small win (S5706). Then, in order to transmit the small winning opening command indicating that the small winning is started to the sound lamp control device 113, the small winning opening command is set in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S5707), Then, the opening time of the small hit (for example, "1 second") is set (S5708), and the process proceeds to S5709. Thereby, a small winning opening command is transmitted toward the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process executed next.

By configuring in this way, the value of the round counter is set according to the winning big win or small win, and the number of opening times of the big winning prize opening 65a or the small winning prize opening 72a corresponding to the winning combination is set, and It is possible to execute an opening performance corresponding to a big win or a small win.

Next, in the processing of S5709, it is determined whether or not a jackpot game is being executed (S5709). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the big winning game is being executed (S5709: Yes), the big winning opening opening/closing control process for executing the opening/closing control of the big winning opening 65a corresponding to the big winning game is executed (S5710). .

Here, with reference to FIG. 110, the big winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710), which is one process of the win process (see FIG. 109) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 110 is a flow chart showing this big winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710). In this big winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710), the opening/closing control of the big winning opening 65a is executed based on the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set in the winning process (S5103).

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not the large winning opening 65a is open in the large winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710) (S5721). As a result of the determination, if the large winning opening 65a is open (S5721: Yes), a large winning opening opening process for controlling the opened large winning opening 65a is executed (S5722), and the opening and closing of this large winning opening is executed. The control process (S5710) is terminated, and the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

On the other hand, in the process of S5721, if it is determined that the big winning opening 65a is not open (S5721: No), then the opening time of the big win set in the winning process (see FIG. 109), or It is determined whether or not the interval time set in the processing during opening of the big winning opening (see FIG. 111) has passed (S5723). As a result of determination, if the opening time or interval time of the jackpot has passed (S5723: Yes), in order to start a new round in the jackpot game, the big winning gate opening setting process for opening the big winning gate 65a is executed. (S5724), then "10" is set to the value of a winning counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 (S5725). Then, an opening time setting for setting the maximum opening time (that is, "30 seconds") of the big winning opening 65a is performed (S5726), and an opening command indicating that the big winning opening 65a has been opened is transmitted from the command provided in the RAM 273. The ring buffer for transmission is set (S5727), and the process proceeds to S5722. As a result, the open command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

On the other hand, in the processing of S5723, if the jackpot opening time or interval time has not passed (S5723: No), it is during the jackpot opening time or interval time, so the processing of S5724 to S5727 is skipped. The big winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710) is terminated, and the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

Here, with reference to FIG. 111, the processing during opening of the large winning opening (S5722), which is one processing of the large winning opening opening/closing control processing (see FIG. 110) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 111 is a flow chart showing the processing during opening of the big winning opening (S5727).

The MPU 271, in this process during the opening of the large winning prize opening (S5722), first determines whether or not the opening time of the large winning prize opening 65a set in S5726 of the above-described large winning prize opening/closing control process (see FIG. 109) has elapsed. is determined (S5731). As a result of the determination, if it is the timing when the opening time of the large winning prize port 65a has passed (S5731: Yes), one closing condition of the large winning prize port 65a is satisfied, and it is the closing timing of the big winning prize port 65a in the round. , the winning counter value is cleared to "0" (S5732), and the process proceeds to S5736. The closing process of the big winning opening 65a from S5736 will be described later.

On the other hand, in the process of S5731, if it is not the time when the opening time of the large winning opening 65a has passed (S5731: No), the closing timing of the large winning opening 65a has not come, so the opening of the large winning opening 65a is maintained. Next, it is determined whether or not a ball has been detected by a large winning opening switch (not shown) (S5733), that is, whether or not a ball has entered the large winning opening 65a.

In the processing of S5733, if the ball is detected by the big winning opening switch (S5733: Yes), that is, if the ball has won the big winning opening 65a, the value of the winning counter is subtracted by 1 (S5734), Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter obtained by subtracting 1 is greater than "0" (S5735). As a result of determination, if the value of the winning counter is not greater than "0" (S5735: No), that is, if the value of the winning counter is less than or equal to "0", 10 balls will win the big winning opening 65a. Since one closing condition of the big winning opening 65a is satisfied, the process proceeds to S5736 in order to close the big winning opening 65a.

On the other hand, in the process of S5733, if the ball is not detected by the big winning hole switch (S5733: No), that is, if the ball has not won the big winning hole 65a, or in the process of S5735, the winning counter If it is determined that the value is greater than "0" (S5735: Yes), the conditions for closing the large winning opening 65a are not met, so S5736- The processing of S5740 is not performed, and the processing (S5722) during the opening of the big winning opening is ended. After the processing during the opening of the big winning opening (S5722) is completed, the processing returns to the winning processing (see FIG. 109).

In the process of closing the large winning opening 65a from S5736, first, the large winning opening closing setting process for closing the large winning opening 65a is executed (S5736). A close command indicating that it has been closed is set (S5737), and the process proceeds to S5738. The closing command set here is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and in the external output processing (see S5101 in FIG. It is transmitted toward the control device 113 .

Next, in the process of S5738, since one round of the big winning opening 65a has been completed, 1 is subtracted from the value of the round counter (S5738), and whether or not the value of the round counter after subtracting 1 is greater than "0". (S5739). As a result of the determination, when the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S5739: Yes), the number of rounds in the big win (the number of times the large winning opening 65a is left open) remains. Next, an interval time (for example, "2 seconds") until the opening of the large winning opening 65a is set (S5740), and the processing during opening of the large winning opening (S5722) is terminated. After the processing during the opening of the big winning opening (S5722) is completed, the processing returns to the winning processing (see FIG. 109).

On the other hand, in the process of S5739, if the value of the round counter is not greater than "0" (S5739: No), that is, if the value of the round counter is less than or equal to "0", the large winning opening 65a in this big win Since all the opening operations have been completed, the processing of S5740 is skipped in order to end the jackpot state, the interval time is not set, the processing during opening of the large winning opening (S5722) is ended, and the large winning opening is opened and closed. Returning to the control process (see FIG. 110), and then returning to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

Returning to FIG. 109, the description continues. After completion of the big winning opening opening/closing control process of S5710, it is then determined whether or not the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S5711). As a result of determination, when the value of the round counter is a value greater than "0" (S5711: Yes), in order to continue the jackpot game, the process of S5712 is skipped, and this winning process (S5103) is performed once. End and return to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). On the other hand, when the value of the round counter is not greater than "0" (S5711: No), that is, when the value of the round counter is equal to or less than "0", a jackpot ending process is executed to end the jackpot game. (S5712), the winning process (S5103) is terminated, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

Here, with reference to FIG. 112, the jackpot ending process (S5712), which is one process of the winning process (see FIG. 109) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 112 is a flow chart showing this jackpot ending process (S5712).

In the jackpot end processing (S5712) of the thirteenth embodiment, the game state after the jackpot game ends, that is, the special pattern jackpot probability and the normal pattern executed after the jackpot game ends, based on the jackpot type that generated the jackpot game. Set the hit probability of

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not the jackpot type that generated the jackpot game this time is "probability fluctuation A" in the jackpot end processing (S5712) (S5751). As a result of the determination, if the jackpot type is "probability variation A" (S5751: Yes), as the game state after the jackpot game ends, the special symbol is set to a high probability state (S5752), and the normal symbol is lowered. The probability state is set (S5753), and the process proceeds to S5760. That is, a "super-probability change state" is set in which the special symbols are in a high probability state and the normal symbols are in a low probability state. In the thirteenth embodiment, since a counter or the like for counting the number of executions of special symbols in the "super-probability fluctuation state" is not set, the "super-probability fluctuation state" is maintained until the next jackpot is won. becomes.

On the other hand, in the process of S5751, if it is determined that the jackpot type is not "probability variation A" (S5751: No), then whether or not the jackpot type that generated this jackpot game is "probability variation B" (S5754). As a result of the determination, if the jackpot type is "probability fluctuation B" (S5754: Yes), as the game state after the jackpot game ends, the special symbol is set to a high probability state (S5755), and the normal symbol is also high. The probability state is set (S5756), and the process proceeds to S5760. That is, a "probability change state" is set in which both special symbols and normal symbols are in a high probability state. In the thirteenth embodiment, since a counter or the like for counting the number of executions of special symbols in the "probability fluctuation state" is not set, the "probability fluctuation state" is maintained until the next jackpot is won.

In the process of S5754, when it is determined that the jackpot type is not "probability variation B" (S5754: No), the jackpot type that generated the jackpot game this time is "time reduction", so after the jackpot game ends As the game state, the special design is set to a low probability state (S5757), the normal design is set to a high probability state (S5758), and the value of the time saving counter (not shown) is set to "50" (S5759). ), and the process proceeds to S5760. That is, a "time reduction state" is set in which special symbols are in a low probability state and normal symbols are in a high probability state. In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the "time reduction state" set here is maintained while the value of the time reduction counter is greater than "0", and the value of the time reduction counter is greater than "0". When it is no longer a value (that is, when the value of the time saving counter becomes "0" or less), it is configured to shift to the "normal game state".

In the processing of S5760, in order to end the big win, first, an ending command indicating the start of the ending effect of the big win is set to the sound lamp control device 113 (S5760). Then, a jackpot end setting process for setting the ending time and the like is performed (S5761), the jackpot end process (S5712) is ended, and the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109). Note that the ending command set in the process of S5760 is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and is stored in the external output process (see S5101 in FIG. , and is transmitted to the audio lamp controller 113 .

Returning to FIG. 109, the description continues. In the processing of S5709, if it is determined that the jackpot is not in progress (S5709: No), then it is determined whether or not the small winning game is being executed (S5713). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the small winning game is being executed (S5713: Yes), the small winning opening opening/closing control process for executing the opening/closing control of the small winning opening 72a corresponding to the small winning game is executed ( S5714).

Here, with reference to FIG. 113, the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714), which is one process of the winning process (see FIG. 109) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 113 is a flow chart showing the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714). In the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714), the round counter and the winning counter used in the control at the time of the big win are set and discriminated, and the opening/closing control of the small winning opening 72a is executed.

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not the small winning opening 72a is open in the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714) (S5771). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the small winning opening 72a is not opened (S5771: No), S5772 to S5776, which are controls related to the opening of the small winning opening 72a, are not performed, and the process proceeds to S5777.

On the other hand, if the small winning opening 72a is open (S5771: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the small winning opening time set in the winning process (see FIG. 109) has passed (S5772). As a result of determination, if the opening time of the small winning has passed (S5772: Yes), in order to start one round in the small winning game, small winning opening opening setting processing for opening the small winning opening 72a is executed ( S5773), then "1" is set to the value of a winning counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 (S5774). Then, an opening time setting for setting the maximum opening time (that is, "1.8 seconds") of the small winning opening 72a is performed (S5775), and a small opening command indicating that the small winning opening 72a is opened is provided in the RAM 273. is set in the received command transmission ring buffer (S5776), and the process proceeds to S5777. As a result, the small open command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

In addition, in the processing of S5772, if the opening time of the small winning has not passed (S5772: No), it is during the opening time of the small winning, so the subsequent processing is skipped, and this small winning opening opening/closing control processing ( After the end of S5714), the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

Next, in the process of S5777, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the small winning opening 72a set in S5775 has passed (S5777). As a result of the determination, if it is the timing when the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a has passed (S5777: Yes), one closing condition of the small winning prize opening 72a is established, and it is the closing timing of the small winning prize opening 72a in the round. , the winning counter value is cleared to "0" (S5778), and the process proceeds to S5782. The closing process of the small winning opening 72a from S5782 will be described later.

On the other hand, in the process of S5777, if it is not the timing when the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a has passed (S5777: No), the closing timing of the small winning prize opening 72a has not come, so the opening of the small winning prize opening 72a is maintained. Next, it is determined whether or not a ball has been detected by a small winning opening switch (not shown), that is, whether or not a ball has entered the small winning opening 72a (S5779).

In the processing of S5779, if the ball is detected by the small winning hole switch (S5779: Yes), that is, if the ball has won the small winning hole 72a, the value of the winning counter is subtracted by 1 (S5780), Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter obtained by subtracting 1 is greater than "0" (S5781). As a result of determination, if the value of the winning counter is not greater than "0" (S5781: No), that is, if the value of the winning counter is less than or equal to "0", one ball wins the small winning opening 72a. Since one closing condition for the small winning opening 72a is satisfied, the process proceeds to S5782 in order to close the small winning opening 72a.

On the other hand, in the process of S5779, if the ball is not detected by the small winning hole switch (S5779: No), that is, if the ball has not won the small winning hole 72a, or in the process of S5781, the winning counter When it is determined that the value is greater than "0" (S5781: Yes), the conditions for closing the small winning opening 72a are not established. Therefore, in order to maintain the open state of the small winning opening 72a, the processing of S5782 to S5784 is not performed, and the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714) ends. After the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714) ends, the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

In this way, the round counter and the winning counter used to control the opening and closing of the large winning opening 65a in the big winning game are also used to control the opening and closing of the small winning opening 72a in the small winning game, and the program for controlling the opening and closing of the large winning opening 65a. By making the programs for controlling the opening and closing of the small winning hole 72a similar in configuration, the programs can be shared, and the development man-hours can be reduced at the time of development. Capacity can be reduced.

In the closing process of the small winning opening 72a from S5782, first, the small winning opening closing setting process for closing the small winning opening 72a is executed (S5782). A small close command indicating that it is closed is set (S5783), and the process proceeds to S5784. The small close command set here is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and is output by voice during the external output processing (see S5101 in FIG. 98) of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next. It is sent to the lamp control device 113 .

Next, in the process of S5784, since one round of the small winning opening 72a has been completed, 1 is subtracted from the value of the round counter (S5784), and the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714) ends. After the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714) ends, the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 109).

Returning to FIG. 109, the description continues. After completion of the small winning opening opening/closing control process of S5714, it is then determined whether or not the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S5715). As a result of determination, when the value of the round counter is a value greater than "0" (S5715: Yes), in order to continue the small winning game, the processing of S5716 is skipped, and this winning processing is performed once (S5103). and return to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, in the process of S5715, if the value of the round counter is not a value greater than "0" (S5715: No), that is, if the value of the round counter is "0" or less, in order to end the small winning game, Setting of a small ending command indicating the start of the ending production of a small winning to the sound lamp control device 113, small winning end processing for setting the ending time, etc. is executed (S5716), and this winning processing (S5103) is completed. , returns to the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

Thus, in the winning process (see FIG. 109), the large winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 110) for controlling the opening and closing of the big winning opening 65a and the small winning opening opening/closing control process for controlling the opening/closing of the small winning opening 72a are performed. (see FIG. 113), the MPU 271 in the main control device 110 can manage the execution of the big winning game and the small winning game, and at the time of the big winning accompanying the process of opening and closing the big winning opening 65a at the time of the big winning , and the various states at the time of the small hit associated with the process of opening and closing the small winning opening 72a at the time of the small hit can be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113. In addition, in the winning process (see FIG. 109), by setting the game state after the end of the big win by the big win end process (see FIG. 113), different game characteristics are created for each type of the big win won, and the variation of the game is rich. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Next, referring to FIG. 114, normal electric control processing (S5104), which is one processing of the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 114 is a flow chart showing this normal electric duty control process (S5104).

In this normal electric role control process (S5104), when a normal symbol hit occurs, the normal electric role 64c is opened/closed (protruding and immersed) drive control is executed according to the game state. That is, the opening (immersion) time of the normal electric part 64c is set according to the game state, and the normal electric part 64c is driven to open based on the set time. Control is executed to close (protrude) the ordinary electric terminal 64c during (immersion).

In the normal electric role control process (S5104), the MPU 271 first determines whether or not the normal electric role 64c is open (immersed), ie, whether or not the normal symbols are winning (S5801). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the normal electric operator 64c is not open (S5801: No), that is, when it is determined that the normal symbols are not winning, next, whether the variable display of the normal symbols has ended. It is determined whether or not (S5802).

As a result of the determination in S5802, if the variable display of normal symbols has not ended (S5802: No), the normal electric role control processing (S5104) is ended and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. If the variable display of the normal symbols has ended (S5802: Yes), then it is determined whether or not a win has been won in the variable display (S5803).

As a result of the determination in S5803, if it is determined that the win has not been won in the variable display (S5803: No), this normal electric role control processing (S5104) is terminated, and timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) back to On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning is won in the variable display (S5803: Yes), in order to execute the control regarding the winning, first, whether the normal symbol at the time of winning is in a high probability state or not. That is, it is determined whether or not the game state is "probability change state" or "time reduction state" (S5804).

As a result of determination in S5804, if it is determined that the normal symbol is not in the high probability state, that is, it is not in the "probability fluctuation state" or the "time reduction state" (S5804: No), the game state is the "normal game state or "super-probability fluctuation state", the opening time of the ordinary electric worker 64c in the winning state is set to "0.1 second" based on the specified contents of the electric worker opening table 272h (S5805). In order to open the normal electric power supply 64c once, the value of the electric power supply counter (not shown) is set to "1" (S5806), and the process proceeds to S5809.

On the other hand, in the processing of S5804, when it is determined that the normal symbol is in the high probability state, that is, in the "probability fluctuation state" or the "time reduction state" (S5804: Yes), the electric officer open table 272h, the opening (immersion) time of the normal electric part 64c in the winning state is set to "5 seconds" (S5807), and the normal electric part 64c is opened three times based on the hit, so the electric The winning counter value is set to "3" (S5808), and the process proceeds to S5809.

In the processing of S5809, the ordinary electric member 64c is opened (immersed) processing (S5809), the ordinary electric member 64c that has been in the closed (protruding) state is driven to the open state, and the ordinary electric member control processing (S5104) is executed. End and return to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

As a result, when the player hits to the right, the ball that has passed through the through gate 67 reaches the position at which the ordinary electric terminal 64c is arranged, and whether the ordinary electric element 64c is open for a long time or a short time is determined. can make a difference. As a result, the ball that has passed through the through gate 67 is likely to be guided toward the second starting port 64b, or rolls over the upper surface of the normal electrode 64c from the right end to the left end in the closed state of the normal electrode 64c, By making the situation in which the ball can be flowed down to the small winning opening 72a side of the second variable winning device 72 different depending on the game state, it is possible to produce different game characteristics for each game state.

In the process of S5801, if it is determined that the normal electric wire 64c is open (S5801: Yes), that is, if it is determined that the normal symbol is winning, then It is determined whether or not the time for opening the ordinary electric circuit 64c has passed (S5810). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the set opening time of the ordinary electric circuit 64c has not passed (S5810: No), S5811 to S5813 are executed in order to maintain the open state of the ordinary electric circuit 64c. The process is skipped, the normal electric service control process (S5104) is terminated, and the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) is returned to.

On the other hand, in the process of S5810, if it is determined that the set opening time of the normal electric terminal 64c has passed (S5810: Yes), first, the normal electric terminal 64c is closed (projected). It does (S5811). Then, the normal electric worker 64c, which was in the closed (immersive) state, is driven to the closed (projected) state, and "1" is subtracted from the value of the electric worker counter set in the process of S5806 or S5808 (S5812). Then, it is determined whether or not the decremented value of the electric duty counter is greater than "0" (S5813). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the value of the electric service counter is greater than "0" (S5813: Yes), the number of times the normal electric service 64c has been opened remains, and the process is executed. The process proceeds to S5809, and the process of opening the ordinary electric circuit 64c is performed again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the service counter is not greater than "0" (S5813: No), that is, if the value of the service counter is less than or equal to "0", the normal service based on the pertinent Since all the roles 64c have been released, the ordinary role 64c is not reopened, the ordinary role control process (S5104) is terminated, and the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) is returned to.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the through gate 67 is changed by differentiating the normal symbol winning probability and variation time according to the game state and the opening time of the normal electric player 64c associated with the winning. In a right-handed game in which a ball can pass through, in the "probability fluctuation state" and the "time shortening state", the open state of the ordinary electric player 64c is configured to occur frequently, and the second variable prize winning device 72 has a small prize. Even with the port 72a open, the ball can flow substantially into the second starting port 64b. On the other hand, even in the same right-handed game, in the "super-probability fluctuation state", the open state and closed state of the ordinary electric player 64c are mixed, and the ball flows into the second start port 64b. However, there is a case where the upper surface of the normal electric element 64 c in the closed state rolls from the right end to the left end, and the ball can flow into the small winning opening 72 a of the second variable winning device 72 . Therefore, the winning openings 64b and 72a that can win prizes are made different in each game state in the right-handed game, and the game value given to the player is made different, thereby enriching the variation of the game and improving the interest of the game. can.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the "probability fluctuation state" of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is The number of unsuccessful random numbers in the ``normal game state'' of each of the 2 special symbols is reduced, and the range of the decrement is the range of the number of unsuccessful random numbers in the ``normal game state'' while compensating for the reduced amount. configured to be inside. Also, the number of small winning random number values is configured so as not to change between the "normal game state" and the "probability fluctuation state". By configuring in this way, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers (decrease in the number of losing random numbers). It is possible to simplify the calculation of the payout rate and suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In addition, the increment of the number of the first special symbol jackpot random numbers due to the setting change is selected in the "normal game state", which is the game state with the highest staying rate in the game, of the jackpot random number counter C1. Compensation is made from the combination of the most random numbers other than the big winning random number (that is, the losing random number among the small winning random number and the losing random number in the case of the "normal game state"). By configuring in this way, in the first special symbol whose execution is encouraged in the "normal game state" with a high stay rate, the number of appearances of the losing role, which is the most common role in the variable performance of the first special symbol, is calculated. can make setting discrimination difficult. Therefore, the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 can be made difficult to be detected by setting only the appearance rate of the big win having a lower appearance probability than the losing combination as the determining element set by the player. As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value 1 or the like), the game can be continued without letting the player see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

Further, the increased amount of the number of big win random numbers due to the setting change is compensated for by the number of losing random numbers corresponding to the losing combination which gives no game value to the player in the big winning random number counter C1.

A losing combination is a combination that does not give a game value, unlike a jackpot combination or a small winning combination, and is therefore not clearly (largely) displayed on a data lamp (not shown) provided for each pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加be. Here, if the number of small winning random numbers corresponding to the small winning game clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp is changed for each setting, the player can set the appearance rate of the small winning game to the data lamp. , the setting determination elements of the pachinko machine 10 increase. As a result, for example, when the player sees through the setting of the pachinko machine 10 set to a low setting (for example, set value "1"), the player does not play the game with the pachinko machine 10 and pachinko. There is a possibility that the operation of the machine 10 will be lowered.

Therefore, the increase in the number of the jackpot random number values associated with the setting change is used as a losing combination corresponding to a losing combination that does not give a game value to the player and is not clearly (extensively) displayed on the data lamp in the jackpot random number counter C1. Compensating from the number of random numbers makes it difficult for the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 to be seen through by setting only the appearance ratio of the big win as the determining factor set by the player. Therefore, for example, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value "1" or the like), the game can be continued without allowing the player to see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

In addition, the variation time of the second special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state" is configured to be selected to be extremely longer than the variation time of the first special symbol variation performance in the "normal game state". The time efficiency of the game is set to be very low (bad). Since the second special symbol is configured to easily win the small winning game, if the second special symbol is displayed dynamically by causing the ball to enter the second starting port 64b in the "normal game state". In spite of being in the "normal game state", there is a possibility that the game hall may suffer an unexpected disadvantage by giving the player a prize ball based on the small winning game. Therefore, the variation time of the second special symbol variation performance in the ``normal game state'' is selected to be extremely longer than the variation time of the first special symbol variation performance in the ``normal game state''. By doing so, when the ball is entered into the second start port 64b in the "normal game state" and the second special symbol variation effect is executed, it takes a very long time compared to the first special symbol variation effect (that is, at least “595 seconds” or longer) can be executed. For this reason, the execution efficiency of the second special symbol variation effect in the "normal game state" is set to be much worse than the execution efficiency of the first special symbol. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the benefit (advantage) of making the second starting port 64b win in the "normal game state", and it is possible to suppress the execution of games that are not encouraged.

Furthermore, in a situation where the suspension of the variation performance of the second special symbol is accumulated, even when the variation performance of the first special symbol is to be executed, the time efficiency of the variation performance of the first special symbol can be deteriorated. By configuring, it is possible to amplify the degree of reduction in the benefits (merits) of winning the second starting port 64b in the "normal game state". As a result, in a gaming state in which the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2 is not encouraged, the player can win a prize (that is, the execution of the right-handed game) to the second start port 64b that triggers the execution of the variation performance of the special figure 2. It is possible to make the player hesitate to play, suppress the playing of a game different from the assumed game specifications, and reduce the disadvantage to the hole.

In addition, when a small win is won in the dynamic display of one special design, the dynamic display of the other special design is being executed, and the success or failure result of the dynamic display of the other special design being executed is When it is a big hit or a small hit, the dynamic display execution time of one special symbol set this time is compared with the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the other special symbol being executed. Then, when it is determined that the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of one special symbol is shorter than the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the other special symbol, the dynamic display of the other special symbol during execution is determined. While the target display is changed to the dynamic display of the losing one, the execution time is reset to stop simultaneously with the dynamic display of one of the special symbols. In addition, when a jackpot is won in the dynamic display of one special pattern, the dynamic display of the other special pattern is being executed, and the success/failure result of the dynamic display of the other special pattern being executed is small. When it is hit, the execution time of the dynamic display of one special symbol set this time and the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the other special symbol being executed are compared. Then, when it is determined that the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of one special symbol is shorter than the execution time (remaining time) of the dynamic display of the other special symbol, the dynamic display of the other special symbol during execution is determined. While the target display is changed to the dynamic display of the losing one, the execution time is reset to stop simultaneously with the dynamic display of one of the special symbols. Furthermore, when the dynamic display of one of the special symbols is not a small win, when the dynamic display of the other special symbol being executed has the content that can lead to a big win, a lottery is performed for the one special symbol. First, the dynamic display of the one special symbol is set as the dynamic display of losing. By configuring in this way, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a big win or a small win by the other special symbol during the execution of a big win or a small win by one special symbol, and a duplicate big win or small win (advantageous state) ), it is possible to prevent excessive game value from being paid out to the player.

Furthermore, when changing the content of the dynamic display of the other special pattern based on the content of the dynamic display of the other special pattern, a variation pattern command and a stop type command regarding the dynamic display of the other special pattern to be changed are transmitted to the audio lamp controller 113 as a set.

Here, when executing the variation effect of each special symbol, the audio lamp control device 113 determines that it is a command transmission error when both the variation pattern command and the display mode command (in a set) cannot be received normally, and the command Execute an error variation (default variation) that suggests that a transmission error has occurred. Here, when the variation pattern (variation time) and the result of the dynamic display of the second special symbol are changed, only the variation pattern command or only the stop type command is transmitted, the voice lamp control device 113 Since the variation pattern command and the stop type command, which should be transmitted as a set, are not transmitted, there is a possibility that a command transmission error may be determined. Also, if the receiving program on the side of the sound lamp control device 113 is changed in consideration of the fact that the dynamic display of the second special symbol is changed, the control program must be newly designed, and the sound lamp control device The control program on the 113 side may become complicated.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, when changing the content of the dynamic display of the other special symbol based on the content of the dynamic display of the other special symbol, the dynamic display of the other special symbol to be changed By sending a set of a change pattern command and a stop type command related to display to the audio lamp control device 113, the audio lamp control device 113 does not judge that there is a command transmission error and can perform normal control. Become. Therefore, even if the control to change the contents of the dynamic display is executed during execution of the dynamic display of the special symbol, normal control can be performed without changing the control program on the side of the sound lamp control device 113. Since it can be executed, there is no need to set a new control program, etc., and reduction in design man-hours and reduction in control load can be realized.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment is configured so that the number of jackpot random numbers increases stepwise and evenly as the set value increases stepwise. By configuring in this way, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increment of the jackpot random number that is increased evenly, and the ball payout rate can be easily calculated. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, in the high-probability state of the special symbol, the lower the set value, the less likely the jackpot will occur, and the higher the set value, the more likely the jackpot will occur. state”, the lower the set value, the longer the stay period of the “super-probability fluctuation state” tends to be. As a result, the lower the set value is, the more likely the number of small wins to be won in the "super-probability fluctuation state" increases, so the game value given in the "super-probability fluctuation state" increases. Therefore, even if the set value is low, by entering the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to increase the game value that can be given to the player compared to when the set value is high. Therefore, by providing the "super-probability fluctuation state", it is possible to reverse the advantage and disadvantage in the setting difference, to enrich the variation of the game, and to improve the interest of the game.

<14th Embodiment>
Next, the pachinko machine 10 according to the fourteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 115 to 134. FIG.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment, in the lottery between the first special symbol and the second special symbol, both the big win and the small win can be won, while the big win is random for each set value in each special symbol. It was configured to increase the number of numerical values and change only the probability of a big hit. In addition, in the high-probability state of the special symbol, the number of big-hit random numbers is increased from that in the low-probability state. In any case, the amount of increase in the number of jackpot random numbers is compensated for by decreasing the number of losing random numbers, thereby reducing the set determination elements by the player and allowing the player to enter the game state. Accordingly, a game property is created to determine whether or not a game value based on a small winning game can be obtained, thereby enriching game variations.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, two special symbols (for example, a first special symbol and a second special symbol) are provided, and a low probability state is provided without providing a high probability state in the lottery of each special symbol. While only one special symbol can win a big win in any special symbol, a small win can be won in one special symbol (for example, the first special symbol) which is easily changed in a predetermined game state (for example, "normal game state"). Instead, it is configured to win a small prize only with the other special symbol (eg, second special symbol) that is easily changed in a game state other than the predetermined game state (eg, "time shortening state"). In addition, a special area switch 208h (so-called V winning opening) is provided in the small winning opening 72a that is opened when the other special symbol wins a small prize, and a ball is detected by the special area switch 208h. Also, it is configured to generate a jackpot game (so-called 1 type 2 type mixing machine). Then, it is constructed so as to provide a setting difference only to the jackpot probability of each special pattern, and is constructed so as to compensate for the increase in the jackpot random number value necessary to generate the setting difference from the losing random number value.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the fourteenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to thirteenth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the first to thirteenth embodiments are used for the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to thirteenth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 115, the board configuration of the game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 115 is a front view of the game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10 in the fourteenth embodiment. The board structure of the game board 13 of the fourteenth embodiment differs from that of the thirteenth embodiment in that the normal electric player 64c is immersed in the board surface of the game board 13 in the normal state (non-winning state), The point that it is a haunting type that protrudes to the front side of the game board 13 when winning, and the position where the second start opening 64b can win only when the ball rolls from the right end to the left end on the upper surface of the ordinary electric member 64c. , the point that the variable winning device 65 (large winning prize opening 65a) is arranged in the lower central part of the game board 13 when viewed from the front, and the special area in the small winning prize opening 72a of the second variable winning device 72 The point is that the switch 208h is provided, and the point that the right general prize winning opening 63c is arranged between the through gate 67 and the ordinary electric terminal 64c. Other configurations and functions are the same or substantially the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment.

The normal electric operator 64c of the fourteenth embodiment is configured to drive-control one board to a protruding state or a immersed state according to the variable display result of the normal symbols. In a normal state (default state), the normal electric part 64c is stored in a position immersed from the front surface of the game board 13, and in the immersed state, it affects the balls flowing down the board surface of the game board 13. placed so that there is no On the other hand, when the variable display of normal symbols is won, the state protrudes from the front surface of the game board 13 from the stored state. The ball can roll from the right end to the left along the slope. Then, when the ball rolls to the left end of the normal electric roller 64c while the normal electric roller 64c maintains the protruded state, the ball can be guided to the second starting port 64b.

In the fourteenth embodiment, when the ball is made to enter the second starting port 64b, it is configured so that the prize can be won only when the upper surface of the normal electric member 64c rolls from the right end to the left end. ) is configured so that the ball cannot enter the second starting port 64b. In the fourteenth embodiment, when a ball is detected by the special area switch 208h in the small winning opening 72a, a big win is generated in any game state (period). In addition, in the fourteenth embodiment, a small winning game is likely to occur based on the winning of the second start opening 64b, and the small winning opening 72a that can generate a large winning by winning this small winning is opened. If the ball is detected by the special area switch 208h in the small winning hole 72a, the player can easily acquire the game value. For this reason, only in the game state (period) that is executed after winning a predetermined jackpot (in the fourteenth embodiment, "time reduction state"), the ball can enter the second start port 64b, It is configured to prevent a game value that is not assumed as a game specification from being awarded to a player.

A deceleration member (not shown) is formed on the top (upper surface) of the ordinary electric element 64c to decelerate the ball by colliding with the ball rolling on the upper surface of the ordinary electric element 64c. In the fourteenth embodiment, the ball rolling from the right end to the left end on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c in the projecting state collides with the deceleration member, and the time required to roll from the right end to the left end on the upper surface of the normal electric element 64c is configured to lengthen. Specifically, when the ball rolls on the upper surface from the right end to the left end of the normal electrode 64c, it takes about 3 seconds. Therefore, while the ball fired by the right-handed game is rolling on the protruded normal electric part 64c (that is, for about 3 seconds), if the normal electric part 64c becomes immersed, the ball By its own weight, it flows downward in the vertical direction of the game board 13 and downward on the board surface of the game board 13 . On the other hand, if the protruding state of the ordinary electric member 64c is maintained while rolling on the ordinary electric member 64c, the normal electric member 64c rolls over and the game board 13 of the ordinary electric member 64c It is configured to flow down toward the second starting port 64b arranged on the left side in front view.

It should be noted that the time for rolling on the upper surface of the ordinary electric roller 64c is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, it may be configured to be a short time of less than "3 seconds" (eg, "1 second") or a long time of "3 seconds" or more (eg, "5 seconds"). It may be configured to be

A variable prize winning device 65 is arranged on the lower side of the first starting port 64a in the fourteenth embodiment when viewed from the front, and a horizontally long rectangular big prize winning port 65a is provided in the substantially central portion thereof.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, when the lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the main controller 110 (see FIG. 116) becomes a big hit, after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) has passed, The special LED group 39b of the special symbol display device 39 is lit and displayed so as to become the stop symbol of the big win, and the third symbol display device 81 is caused to display the stop symbol (for example, "777") corresponding to the big win, The occurrence of a jackpot game is indicated. After that, the game state transitions to a special game state (jackpot game) in which an opening/closing plate (not shown) provided in the variable prize winning device 65 is opened so that the ball can easily enter the big prize winning opening 65a. In this special game state, the normally closed big winning opening 65a is opened until a predetermined condition is established (for example, until "30 seconds" elapse or until 10 balls are won).

The large winning opening 65a is closed based on the establishment of a predetermined condition (that is, a predetermined time has elapsed since opening, or a predetermined number of winnings are detected while the opening is in progress), and after the closing, the large winning opening 65a is reopened. is opened for a predetermined period of time. The opening and closing operation of the big winning opening 65a is repeatedly executed according to the type of the big win, and can be repeated up to 16 times (16 rounds), for example. The state in which this opening and closing operation is performed is one form of a special game state (jackpot state) that is advantageous to the player, and the player receives a larger amount than usual as a game value (game value). Prize balls are paid out.

Since the variable winning device 65 of the fourteenth embodiment is arranged at the lower center of the game board 13 when viewed from the front, the ball fired in the left-handed game (that is, the left side of the variable display unit 80 when viewed from the front) A ball) and a ball launched in a right-handed game (that is, a ball that has passed through the right side of the variable display unit 80 when viewed from the front) are configured to win prizes. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of variable winning devices for each game state (for each shooting mode), the number of parts of the pachinko machine 10 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the pachinko machine 10 can be reduced.

Here, as the jackpot types determined in the fourteenth embodiment, "16R jackpot" and "4R jackpot" are prepared based on the winning to the first starting port 64a (Fig. 119(a) reference). Also, based on the winning to the second starting port 64b, "16R jackpot", "8R jackpot" and "4R jackpot" are prepared (see FIG. 119(b)).

The "16R jackpot" jackpot type is a jackpot that shifts to a "time reduction state" in which normal symbols are in a high probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 16 rounds. Also, the "8R jackpot" jackpot type is a jackpot that shifts to a "time reduction state" in which normal symbols are in a high probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 8 rounds. Furthermore, the "4R jackpot" jackpot type is a jackpot that shifts to a "time reduction state" in which normal symbols are in a high probability state after a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds.

The "time reduction state" of the fourteenth embodiment is a low probability state in which the jackpot probability of each special symbol is the same as the "normal game state", but the variation time (variable display time) of the normal symbol is shortened, and , a state in which a so-called "time-saving function" is provided in which the open time of the ordinary electric terminal 64c is also long. That is, in the "shortened time state", although the jackpot by the special symbols is equivalent to that in the "normal game state", the variable display results by the normal symbols are likely to be derived in a short time, and the open state of the normal electric player 64c is long. becomes a state. Therefore, in the "time shortening state", it becomes a so-called winning auxiliary state, and the ball fired by the right-handed game becomes easy to win to the second start port 64b, so the dynamic display of special figure 2 is continuously executed. In addition, it is possible to obtain a prize ball (for example, 1 ball/win) based on the winning to the second starting port 64b, and to play the game while suppressing the reduction of the number of balls in the player's possession.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the "time reduction state" is set so that the number of times given is different for each special symbol and each jackpot type. Then, after each jackpot, a prescribed number of times predetermined for each jackpot (in the fourteenth embodiment, the total number of dynamic display execution times of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is 10 times, or the second special symbol dynamic display is 1 time, or the total execution number of dynamic display of the 1st special design and the 2nd special design is 100 times or the dynamic display of the 2nd special design is 7 times) dynamic display of the special design is maintained until is executed. After the dynamic display of the special symbols is executed for the specified number of times, the game is configured to shift from the "time reduction state" to the "normal game state". The number of time reductions given to each special symbol will be described later with reference to FIG. 119 .

A second variable prize winning device 72 is disposed on the left side (downstream side) of the second starting port 64b in a front view, and a horizontally long rectangular small prize winning port 72a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof. A special area switch 208h is provided in the small winning opening 72a so as to be able to detect the ball that has flowed into the small winning opening 72a.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, when the second special symbol lottery by the main controller 110 (see FIG. 116) results in a small win, the small win stops after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) elapses. The lower LED group 39b2 of the special symbol display device 39 is lit and displayed so as to become a symbol, and the stop symbol corresponding to the small hit on the third symbol display device 81 (for example, "341", "134", "143") etc.) is displayed to indicate the occurrence of a small winning game. After that, the opening/closing plate (not shown) provided in the second variable prize winning device 72 is opened, and the game state transitions to a special game state (small winning game) in which the ball easily enters the small prize winning opening 72a. As this special game state, the small prize winning opening 72a which is normally closed is opened until a predetermined condition is established (for example, until "1.8 seconds" elapses or until one ball wins). .

A ball that has flowed into the small winning opening 72a is detected by a special area switch 208h provided in the small winning opening 72a. When a ball is detected by this special area switch 208h (so-called V winning), a small hit type counter stored in a reserved ball execution area 273fa that stores information about dynamic display that caused the small hit game. A small hit type is determined based on the value of a small hit type counter C5 (see FIG. 117) stored in the area 273fa5, and a predetermined big hit game based on the small hit type is started. Therefore, by winning a game with a small win, the game specifications are such that a big win game can be awarded indirectly, and the game property of how to win a big win or a small win is realized. In addition, small hit classification etc. are mentioned later.

A right general prize winning opening 63c is arranged below the through gate 67 in the front view of the game board 13 and above the game board 13 in the front view of the right end portion of the ordinary electric terminal 64c. This right general prize winning port 63c is a prize winning port in which 10 balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls win, similarly to the general prize winning port 63c.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, during the special symbol jackpot game, during the special symbol small winning game, or during the "time shortening state" (that is, during the open extension state of the normal electric role 64c) right hitting game It is configured so that a game can be played by Specifically, the ball fired by the right-handed game wins during the big winning opening 65a opened during the big winning game, the small winning opening 72a opened during the small winning game, or the "time shortening state". In addition to the second starting opening 64b (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "winning openings 65a, 72a, 63c"), the right general winning opening 63c is also configured to be able to win.

Conventionally, during the big winning game, the small winning game, or the "time reduction state", one winning opening (that is, the big winning opening 65a, the small winning opening 72a or the third winning opening) directly associated with each state 2 starting port 64b) is made to win a prize, and game value is given to the player based on the prize. However, the winning openings 65a, 72a, 63c that can win in each of the above states are fixed, respectively, and the game becomes monotonous, and there is still room for improvement in this respect.

Therefore, in each of the above states, in addition to the directly related winning openings 65a, 72a, 64b, the right general winning opening 63c is also configured so that the ball can win a prize, thereby directly relating to each of the above states. A game value other than the game value obtained by winning to the winning openings 65a, 72a, 64b can be given to the player during the above state. Therefore, in order to amplify the game value provided during the above state by winning the ball in the right general prize winning port 63c, the game characteristics of how to win the right general prize winning port 63c during each of the above states can be created and the interest of the game can be improved.

Also, during a jackpot game, when a prescribed number of winning balls (for example, 10) are entered into the big winning opening 65a during one round, or when a prescribed opening time (for example, "10 seconds") has passed. In this case, an interval time is provided during which the big winning opening 65a is closed. In such a case, during the interval time (that is, while the large winning opening 65a is closed), the ball cannot enter the big winning opening 65a. Therefore, after the player shoots the prescribed number of winning balls, the player stops shooting the balls for the interval time, and continues to stop shooting the balls until the big winning hole 65a is opened again (so-called There is a case where the player himself performs an act of suppressing the decrease of the balls he owns by performing a stop hitting game). When the stop-play game is performed, the operation (the number of shot balls) of the pachinko machine 10 is reduced by the number of balls that are not fired, so if the stop-play game is frequently played, the profit of the game hall is reduced. may decrease.

Therefore, the right general winning opening 63c is arranged on the upstream side of the big winning opening 65a so that the ball shot in the right-handed game can also win the right general winning opening 63c. With this configuration, even when the prescribed number of balls are shot, some of the balls can enter the right general prize opening 63c. It is possible to create a situation in which the big winning opening 65a is not closed. As a result, for example, when a phenomenon occurs in which the specified opening time elapses before the prescribed number of balls enter the large winning opening 65a, the player can enter the prescribed number of balls into the large winning opening 65a. The loss in the case where the specified winning number of balls are not allowed to enter the big winning hole 65a is greater than the effect of suppressing the reduction of the balls by playing the stopping game. Therefore, by making it easier to give the player a disadvantage rather than an advantage when playing a stopping game, the player is encouraged to continue shooting balls without playing a stopping game, thereby increasing the profit of the game hall. can be suppressed. In addition, the same effect can be obtained for the small winning opening 72a during the small winning game or the second start opening 64b during the "time shortening state".

Next, with reference to FIG. 116, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 116 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment.

The ROM 272 of the main controller 110 of the fourteenth embodiment includes a jackpot random number table 272a, a jackpot type table 272b, a pending number table 272c, a stop pattern table 272d, a fluctuation pattern table 272e, a random number table per normal pattern 272f, and a normal pattern fluctuation table. 272g, an electrical opening table 272h, a big winning opening table 272i, and a small winning opening table 272j. In addition, the RAM 273 of the 14th embodiment includes a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3, a fluctuation type counter CS1, a first initial value random number counter CINI1, a random number counter C4 per normal figure, a second initial In addition to the value random number counter CINI2, a small hit type counter C5 is provided. Main controller 110 executes the main control described above by various counters stored in RAM 273 and various tables stored in ROM 272 .

Here, with reference to FIG. 117, counters and the like provided in the RAM 273 of the main controller 110 of the fourteenth embodiment will be described. These counters, etc., set the jackpot lottery, the small lottery, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39, the setting of the variable effect of the third symbol display device 81, the lottery of the display result of the variable display in the normal symbol display device 83 etc., it is used in the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 . Further, in the description of various counters, various tables stored in the ROM 272 of the main controller 110 will also be described with reference to FIGS. 118 to 125. FIG.

In the fourteenth embodiment, the setting of the big winning lottery, the small winning lottery, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39, and the setting of the variable effect of the third symbol display device 81 are used for the big winning lottery and the small winning lottery. A jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2 used for selecting the stop type of the jackpot pattern, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used for selecting the performance mode of the variable performance, and used for initial value setting of the jackpot random number counter C1. A first initial value random number counter CINI1, a variation type counter CS1 used for variation pattern selection, and a small winning type counter C5 used for selecting a stop type of a small winning symbol are used.

In addition, for the lottery of the normal symbol display device 83, a random number counter C4 per normal pattern (equivalent to the random number counter C4 per normal pattern in the first embodiment) is used, and the initial value of the random number counter C4 per normal pattern C4 is set. A two initial value random number counter CINI2 (equivalent to the second initial value random number counter CINI2 in the first embodiment) is used.

Each of these counters is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value each time it is updated and returns to "0" after reaching the maximum value.

Each counter is updated, for example, at intervals of 4 milliseconds, which is the execution interval of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), and some counters are updated irregularly during the main processing (see FIG. 17). The updated value is stored in the counter buffer 273c set in a predetermined area of the RAM 273 as appropriate. Although details will be described later, the RAM 273 has a first reserved ball storage area 273d consisting of four reserved areas (first reserved first to fourth areas) related to the first special symbol, and four reserved balls related to the second special symbol. A second reserved ball storage area 273e consisting of areas (second reserved first to fourth areas) is provided. In the first reserved ball storage area 273d, each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 is stored in accordance with the timing of the ball entering the first starting port 64a. be done. In addition, in the second reserved ball storage area 273e, a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, a stop pattern selection counter C3, a variation type counter CS1, and a small hit type are stored in accordance with the timing of the ball entering the second starting port 64b. Each value of the counter C5 is stored. The updating of each counter is the same as in the thirteenth embodiment, so the explanation thereof will be omitted.

Here, with reference to FIG. 118, the details of the jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol in the fourteenth embodiment will be described. FIG. 118(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 118(b) is a special figure 2 jackpot random number table stored in the ROM 272. 272a2 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of 272a2. FIG.

The special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the fourteenth embodiment are configured such that the jackpot probability is different for each set value. In addition, while the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is not assigned a small hit random number that wins the small win game, the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is assigned a small hit random number that wins the small win game. ing.

Also, in the fourteenth embodiment, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers required to displace the setting value from "1" to "6" is compensated for by decreasing the number of lost random numbers corresponding to the lost numbers. By varying the number of big win random numbers in this manner, the probability of winning a big win is changed for each set value.

On the other hand, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a1, the number of small hit random numbers in each set value is set to be the same. By setting the number of small winning random number values to be the same for each set value in this way, the game value imparting ratios considering only the small winning game at all set values become equal.

Thus, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random number values associated with the change in the setting values of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is The number of losing random numbers is decreased and compensated for by the decrement, while the number of increased jackpot random numbers is configured to be equal to or less than the number of losing random numbers. Also, the number of small hit random numbers is configured not to change for each set value. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers, thereby reducing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications. can be suppressed.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers associated with the setting change is set to the lottery table (that is, the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table) for any special symbol. 272a2) is configured to make up for the lost combination assigned. That is, it is configured to change the number of the random numbers assigned to both jackpot random number tables 272a instead of the small hit random numbers assigned only to the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. Here, when the number of big hit random numbers associated with the setting change is compensated from the combination assigned only to one lottery table (for example, the small hit random number in the second special symbol), the ball output rate in each special symbol Since the calculations are different, the calculations become complicated, and the man-hours at the time of designing the game specifications increase. Therefore, by compensating for the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot from the number of random numbers corresponding to the combination (that is, the losing combination) that exists in each special symbol, part of the calculation of the ball output rate for each special symbol can be shared, and an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications can be suppressed.

Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, the increase in the number of the jackpot random number values associated with the setting change is calculated as the combination of the largest random number value other than the jackpot random number value (that is, the small win Compensation is performed from the lost random number (out of the random number and the lost random number). By configuring in this way, it is possible to make setting determination difficult from the number of appearances of the losing combination, which is the most common combination in the dynamic display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Therefore, the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 can be made difficult to be detected by setting only the appearance rate of the big win having a lower appearance probability than the losing combination as the determining element set by the player. As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value 1 or the like), the game can be continued without letting the player see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the increase in the number of jackpot random number values associated with the setting change is compensated for by increasing the number of the jackpot random number counter C1, which corresponds to a losing combination that does not give a game value to the player. Compensate from the number.

A losing combination is a combination that does not give a game value, unlike a big winning combination or a small winning combination. Therefore, a data lamp (not shown) is provided for each pachinko machine 10 and displays the game result, etc. of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加It is a role that is not clearly (extremely) displayed in Here, if both the number of large winning random numbers corresponding to the big winning game and the number of small winning random numbers corresponding to the small winning game, which are likely to be clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp, are changed for each setting. When the player glances (confirms) the appearance rate of the two elements of the big winning game and the small winning game with the data lamp, it becomes easy to guess the setting discrimination of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加As a result, for example, when the player sees through the setting of the pachinko machine 10 set to a low setting (for example, set value "1"), the player does not play the game with the pachinko machine 10 and pachinko. There is a possibility that the operation of the machine 10 will be lowered.

Therefore, the increase in the number of jackpot random number values associated with the setting change of the probability setting value is not given to the player in the jackpot random number counter C1, and is not clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp. is compensated from the number of the random number corresponding to the loss, the set value of the pachinko machine 10 is hardly seen through from the occurrence rate of the small wins, with only the occurrence rate of the big wins as the determination element set by the player. be able to. Therefore, the discriminating element of the probability setting value is limited to the appearance rate of a combination based on one random number, and for example, even if the setting is low (i.e., setting value "1", etc.), it is set to the player. The game can be continued without being detected, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

As shown in FIG. 118(a), in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 of the 14th embodiment, when the set value is "1", the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a big hit in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 The number of (jackpot random number) is 50, and the value "0 to 49" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol with the set value "1" is set to 50/10000=0.5/100 (that is, 0.5%).

In addition, when the set value is "1", the special figure 1 big hit random number table 272a1 is not assigned a random number value (small hit random value) that will be a small hit. That is, the small winning probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is 0%, and the small winning game based on the winning to the first start port 64a does not occur.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining 9950 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers, and the value "50 ~ 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the loss probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is set to 9950/10000=99.5/100 (that is, 99.5%).

Next, when the set value is "2", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that will be a jackpot in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 52, and the value "0 to 51" It is defined (set) in the jackpot random number table 272a1 in FIG. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol with the set value "2" is set to 52/10000=0.52/100 (that is, 0.52%).

In addition, when the set value is "2", as in the case of the set value "1", the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is not assigned a random number value (small hit random value) to be a small hit. That is, the small winning probability in the first special symbol with the set value "2" is 0%, and the small winning game based on the winning to the first start port 64a is not generated.

Therefore, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining 9948 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers, and the value "52 ~ 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the loss probability in the first special symbol with the setting value "2" is set to 9948/10000=99.48/100 (that is, 99.48%).

That is, the set value "2" has a slightly higher jackpot probability than the set value "1" (0.5%→0.52%), and the jackpot game occurs more than the set value "1". It can be said that it is an easy setting.

Next, when the set value is "3", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that will be a jackpot in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 54, and the value "0 to 53" It is defined (set) in the jackpot random number table 272a1 in FIG. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol with the set value "3" is set to 54/10000=0.54/100 (that is, 0.54%).

In addition, when the set value is "3", as in the case where the set value is "1" and "2", the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is assigned a random number value (small hit random value) that will be a small hit. not That is, the small winning probability in the first special symbol with the set value "3" is 0%, and the small winning game based on the winning to the first starting port 64a does not occur.

Therefore, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining 9946 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers, and the value "54 ~ 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the loss probability in the first special symbol with the set value "3" is set to 9946/10000=99.46/100 (that is, 99.46%).

That is, the set value "3" has a slightly higher jackpot probability than the set value "2" (0.52%→0.54%), and the jackpot game occurs more than the set value "2". It can be said that it is an easy setting.

Next, when the set value is "4", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that will be a jackpot in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 56, and the value "0 to 55" is It is defined (set) in the jackpot random number table 272a1 in FIG. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol with the set value "4" is set to 56/10000=0.56/100 (that is, 0.56%).

In addition, when the set value is "4", as in the case where the set value is "1" to "3", the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is assigned a random number value that will be a small hit (small hit random value). not In other words, the small winning probability in the first special symbol with the set value "4" is 0%, and the small winning game based on the winning to the first starting port 64a does not occur.

That is, the loss probability in the first special symbol with the setting value "6" is set to 9940/10000=99.4/100 (that is, 99.4%).

That is, the set value "6" has a slightly higher jackpot probability than the set value "5" (0.58%→0.6%), and the jackpot game occurs more than the set value "5". It can be said that it is an easy setting.

In this way, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers due to the setting change is compensated for by decreasing the number of losing random numbers, and the losing random number It is configured to be within (below) the range of the number of numerical values.

Next, as shown in FIG. 118(b), in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the 14th embodiment, when the setting value is "1", the jackpot random number counter that becomes a big hit in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 The number of values of C1 (jackpot random number) is 50 like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, and the value "0 to 49" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 50/10000=0.5/100 (that is, 0.5%), like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, and the value "50 to 1299" is special. It is defined (set) in the jackpot random number table 272a2 in FIG. That is, the small winning probability in the second special symbol is set to 1250/10000=12.5/100 (that is, 12.5%).

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8700 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. The value "1300 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8700/10000=87/100 (that is, 87%).

Next, when the set value is "2", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 52, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , Its value "0 to 51" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 52/10000=0.52/100 (that is, 0.52%) like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, and the value "52 to 1301" is special. It is defined (set) in the jackpot random number table 272a2 in FIG. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol is set to be 1250/10000=12.5/100 (ie, 12.5%), like the set value "1".

Therefore, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8698 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers and the small hit random numbers. The value "1302 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8698/10000=86.98/100 (that is, 86.98%).

That is, the set value "2" has the same small hit probability as the set value "1", but the big hit probability is slightly improved (0.5% → 0.52%), and the set value " 1”, it can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is more likely to occur.

Next, when the set value is "3", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 54, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , Its value "0 to 53" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 54/10000=0.54/100 (that is, 0.54%) like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, like the set values "1" and "2". The value "54 to 1303" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol is set to be 1250/10000=12.5/100 (that is, 12.5%) like the set values "1" and "2".

Therefore, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8696 numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. The value "1304 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8696/10000=86.96/100 (that is, 86.96%).

That is, the set value "3" has the same small hit probability as the set value "2", but the big hit probability is slightly improved (0.52% → 0.54%), and the set value " 2”, it can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is more likely to occur.

Next, when the set value is "4", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 56, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , Its value "0 to 55" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 56/10000=0.56/100 (that is, 0.56%) like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, similar to the set values "1" to "3". The value "56 to 1305" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol is set to be 1250/10000=12.5/100 (that is, 12.5%), like the set values "1" to "3".

Therefore, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8694 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. The value "1306 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8694/10000=86.94/100 (that is, 86.94%).

That is, the set value "4" has the same small hit probability as the set value "3", but the big hit probability is slightly improved (0.54% → 0.56%). It can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is more likely to occur than in the case of "3".

Next, when the set value is "5", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 58, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , Its value "0 to 57" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 58/10000=0.58/100 (that is, 0.58%) like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, similar to the set values "1" to "4". The value "58 to 1307" is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol is set to be 1250/10000=12.5/100 (that is, 12.5%), like the set values "1" to "4".

Therefore, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8692 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. The value "1308 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8692/10000=86.92/100 (that is, 86.92%).

That is, the set value "5" has the same small hit probability as the set value "4", but the big hit probability is slightly improved (0.56% → 0.58%), and the set value " 4”, it can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is likely to occur.

Next, when the set value is "6", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 60, like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , Its value "0 to 59" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol is set to be 60/10000=0.6/100 (that is, 0.6%) like the first special symbol.

Here, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) to be small hits in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 1250, similar to the set values "1" to "5". The value "60 to 1309" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol is set to be 1250/10000=12.5/100 (that is, 12.5%), like the set values "1" to "5".

Therefore, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) to be lost in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining 8690 pieces other than the jackpot random numbers and the small hit random numbers. The value "1310 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol is set to 8690/10000=86.9/100 (that is, 86.9%).

That is, the set value "6" has the same small win probability as the set value "5", but the big win probability is slightly improved (0.58% → 0.6%), and the set value " 5”, it can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is more likely to occur.

In this way, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers due to the setting change is compensated for by reducing the number of random numbers that are lost instead of the number of small hit random numbers. while being configured to be within (below) the number of the missing random numbers.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers associated with the setting change is present in both jackpot random number tables 272a1 and 272a2. While reducing the number of losing random numbers to compensate for the decrease, the number of increasing jackpot random numbers is within the range (or less) of the number of losing random numbers at the lowest probability setting value. configured as follows. Also, the number of small hit random numbers is configured not to change for each set value. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers, thereby reducing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications. can be suppressed.

Returning to FIG. 117, the description is continued. The small hit type counter C5 determines the small hit type when it becomes a small hit, and is incremented by 1 in order within a predetermined range (eg, "0 to 99"), and the maximum value (eg, " In the case of a counter that can take a value from 0 to 99, it returns to "0" after reaching "99"). The value of the small hit type counter C5, for example, is periodically updated (in the fourteenth embodiment, once for each timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98)).

Then, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting port 64b, the jackpot is selected from the second reserved first to fourth areas of the second reserved ball storage area 273e of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the second starting port 64b. It is stored in the small hit type counter storage area 273e5 of the same second reservation area as the second reservation area where the random number counter C1 is stored. Note that if the update maximum values of two or more counters are set to the same value, there is a risk that the update content of the other counter will be grasped based on the extraction result of one counter. Therefore, each counter may be configured to have a different update maximum value.

Here, for example, if the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e is not a random number (jackpot random value) that becomes a jackpot, That is, if it is a random number that becomes a loss (loss random number value), the variation pattern in the variation effect and the type of stop symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "stop type") are those at the time of loss. On the other hand, if the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d or the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a random number (jackpot random value) that will result in a big hit, a variable effect The fluctuation pattern and stop type in will be those at the time of the big hit. In this case, the variation pattern and stop type at the time of the big win are determined corresponding to the big win type indicated by the value of the big win type counter C2 stored in the same reservation area. Also, if the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in one reserved area in the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a random number (small hit random value) that becomes a small hit, the variation pattern and stop type in the variation effect are It will be a small hit. In this case, the variation pattern and stop type at the time of the small hit are determined corresponding to the small hit type indicated by the value of the small hit type counter C5 stored in the same reservation area. And, when the ball passes through the special area switch 208h during the small winning game, a big winning game corresponding to the small winning type is generated.

The value of the jackpot type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of "0 to 99" as in the 13th embodiment, and is stored in the jackpot type counter C2 and the ROM 272. The jackpot type is determined based on the jackpot type table 272b. This jackpot type table 272b includes a special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 (see FIG. 119(a)) referenced in the first lottery game of the first special symbol and a second lottery game of the second special symbol. A special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 (see FIG. 119(b)) is provided.

Further, the value of the small hit type counter C5 in the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of "0 to 99", and the small hit type counter C5 and the small hit type stored in the ROM 272 The small hit type is determined based on the table 272b3 (see FIG. 119(c)). In this small hit type table 272b3, only the special figure 2 small hit type table 272b3 referred to in the second lottery game of the second special symbol is provided, and the table referred to in the first lottery game of the first special symbol is Not provided. This is because there is no need to provide a small winning type table for the first special symbol since the first special symbol cannot win a small winning.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 119(a) to 119(c), the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1, the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 and the special figure 2 small hit type table 272b3 will be described. FIG. 119(a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 corresponding to the first special symbol stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 119(b) is also stored in the ROM 272. FIG. 119(c) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 corresponding to the second special symbol that is stored in the ROM 272. FIG. It is the figure which showed typically an example of small hit classification table 272b3.

As shown in FIGS. 119(a) and 119(b), each of the jackpot type tables 272b1 and 272b2 includes a type of special symbol (that is, a first special symbol or a second special symbol) and a type of the special symbol. It is a table that associates the jackpot type according to , and the value of the jackpot type counter C2. Further, as shown in FIG. 119(c), the small hit type table 272b3 is a table that associates the small hit type of the second special symbol with the value of the small hit type counter C5.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, as the jackpot type of the first special symbol, after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds, until the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed once, or the first special symbol Until the dynamic display of the pattern and the second special pattern is executed a total of 10 times, the variable display time of the normal pattern is shortened, and the number of projections of the normal electric combination 64c based on the winning of the variable display is increased. ``4R jackpot'' that transitions to a state in which the projection time becomes longer as it becomes longer (that is, ``time reduction state''), and after the jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 16 rounds, the dynamic display of the second special symbol is performed 7 times. Until, or until the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed a total of 100 times, there is a "16R jackpot" that becomes a "time reduction state" (see Fig. 119 (a)) .

In addition, as the jackpot type of the second special symbol, after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds, until the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed seven times, or the combination of the first special symbol and the second special symbol ``4R jackpot'' which is a ``time reduction state'' until the dynamic display is performed a total of 100 times, and after the jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 8 rounds, the dynamic display of the second special symbol is performed 7 times. or until the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed a total of 100 times. , Until the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed seven times, or until the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed a total of 100 times, the "time reduction state" is entered. There is a "16R jackpot" (see FIG. 119(b)).

Furthermore, as the small winning type of the second special symbol, three small winning types are provided, and a small winning game with a maximum number of rounds of one round is executed in all of them. Further, as each small winning type, when a ball is detected by the special area switch 208h during the small winning game, the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed 7 times after the big winning of the maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds. or until the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed a total of 100 times, a "4R big win corresponding small win" in which a big win game in which the "time reduction state" occurs occurs; When the ball is detected by the special area switch 208h during the small winning game, after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 8 rounds, until the second special symbol is dynamically displayed seven times, or until the first special symbol is displayed. Until the dynamic display with the second special pattern is executed a total of 100 times, a special area switch 208h is operated during the ``8R big win corresponding small win'' in which a big win game in which the ``time shortening state'' occurs, and the small win game. When the ball is detected, after the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds of 16 rounds, until the dynamic display of the second special pattern is executed seven times, or the dynamic display of the first special pattern and the second special pattern is performed. There is a "16R big win corresponding small win" in which a big win game in which the "time shortening state" occurs until is executed a total of 100 times (see FIG. 119(c)).

In the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 and the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2, each jackpot type is associated with a possible value of the jackpot type counter C2 that determines the jackpot type. Further, in the special figure 2 small hit type table 272b3, each small hit type is associated with a possible value of the small hit type counter C5 that determines the small hit type.

In the example of the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 in FIG. 119(a), the value "0 to 98" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with the "4R jackpot", and the jackpot type counter is associated with the "16R jackpot". A C2 value of "99" is associated.

Specifically, in the lottery for the first special symbol in the fourteenth embodiment, the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the big hit random number counter storage area 273d1 of any of the first reserved ball storage areas 273d When the value is a jackpot value, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2 of the same first reservation area is selected from the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1. It is determined. For example, if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "7", "4R jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "99", "16R jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type. be done.

That is, when a jackpot is won in the dynamic display of the first special symbol which is the first lottery game, the jackpot type of "4R jackpot" is 99% and the jackpot type of "16R jackpot" is 1%. It will be done.

Further, in the example of the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 in FIG. 119(b), the value "0 to 29" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with the "4R jackpot", and the jackpot with respect to the "8R jackpot". The value "30-59" of the type counter C2 is associated, and the value "60-99" of the jackpot type counter C2 is associated with the "16R jackpot".

In the winning lottery of the second special symbol in the fourteenth embodiment, the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the big hit random number counter storage area 273e1 of any of the second reserved ball storage areas 273e becomes the big hit. If it is a value, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 of the same second reservation area is determined from the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2. For example, if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "17", "4R jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type, and if the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "40", "8R jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type. If the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is "89", "16R jackpot" is determined as the jackpot type.

That is, when a big win is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol, which is the second lottery game, the "4R jackpot" jackpot type is 30%, the "8R jackpot" jackpot type is 30%, and the "16R jackpot". The jackpot type will be elected at a rate of 40%.

In addition, in the example of the special figure 2 small hit type table 272b3 in FIG. 119 (c), the value of the small hit type counter C5 "0 to 29" is associated with the "4R jackpot corresponding small hit", and the "8R jackpot The value of the small hit type counter C5 "30 to 59" is associated with the "corresponding small hit", and the value of the small hit type counter C5 "60 to 99" is associated with the "small hit corresponding to the 16R big hit". ing.

In the winning lottery of the second special symbol in the fourteenth embodiment, the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the big hit random number counter storage area 273e1 of the second reserved ball storage area 273e is a small hit. If it is a value, the small hit type associated with the value of the small hit type counter C5 stored in the small hit type counter storage area 273e5 of the same second reservation area is from the special figure 2 small hit type table 272b3 It is determined. For example, if the value of the small hit type counter C5 is "27", "4R jackpot corresponding small hit" is determined as the small hit type, and if the value of the small hit type counter C5 is "50", the small hit type If the value of the small hit type counter C5 is "95", the "16R big hit small hit" is determined as the small hit type.

That is, when a small win is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol which is the second lottery game, the small win type of "4R big win corresponding small win" is 30%, and the small win of "8R big win corresponding small win". The type will be elected at a rate of 30% and the small hit type of "16R jackpot corresponding small hit" will be 40%. During the small winning game, the ball is detected by the special area switch 208h in the small winning opening 72a, so that the big winning game corresponding to the small winning type (that is, "4R big winning", "8R big winning" or " 16R jackpot”) is started. Therefore, the small winning type in the second special pattern and the big winning type in the second special pattern are substantially the same allocation, and the small winning in the second special pattern is won and the ball is sent to the special area switch 208h. By winning a prize, it is possible to obtain a game value at the same rate as in the case of a big hit with the second special symbol.

In addition, when it is configured so that the same game value can be obtained by the big win and the small win in the second special pattern, in the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the second special pattern, the big win or the small win is won. By making it difficult or impossible for the player to determine whether or not, it is possible to obscure the trigger for imparting the game value. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to guess the jackpot probability associated with the setting change. , the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

Thus, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, in the first lottery game with the first special symbol, the selection ratio of the "16R jackpot" with the highest game value is 1%, while the second special symbol with the second special symbol In the lottery game, the selection ratio of ``16R jackpot'' accompanying jackpot winning is 40%, and the selection ratio of ``16R jackpot corresponding small hit'' accompanying small win winning is 40%, so a lottery based on the first special symbol. A lottery game using the second special symbols is set to have a higher game value for the player than the game. For this reason, the player is given a playability of how to receive the lottery with the second special symbol, that is, whether to enter the ball into the second start hole 64b rather than into the first start hole 64a. Variations are provided to heighten the interest of the game.

In addition, the probability that each big hit type or small hit type is selected when a big hit is set appropriately depending on the model. Then, according to the set probability, in the jackpot type table 272b or the small hit type table 272b3, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 or the small hit type counter C5 associated with each jackpot type or each small hit type is defined.

Moreover, the probability that the jackpot type or the small hit type is selected may be changed according to the game state of the pachinko machine 10 . In this case, a jackpot type table 272b or a small hit type table 272b3 corresponding to each game state is prepared, and each jackpot type or small hit type is associated with each jackpot type table 272b or small hit type table 272b3. The number of values of the type counter C2 or the small hit type counter C5 may be changed.

Returning to FIG. 117, the description of various counters is continued. The stop pattern selection counter C3 is configured to be incremented by "1" in sequence within a range of, for example, "0 to 99" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "99").

In the fourteenth embodiment, depending on the pending number of pending variable effects and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, the rough effect mode of the variable effects displayed on the third symbol display device 81 at the time of the big hit and at the time of losing is determined. selected. Specifically, a "non-reach (long)" production mode or a "non-reach (short)" production mode in which "reach display" does not occur, and only the variable element of "normal reach" as "reach display" is executed " "Normal Reach" effect mode, "Super Reach" effect mode in which the variable element of "Normal Reach" is developed and the variable element of "Super Reach" is executed, and similarly, the variable element of "Normal Reach" is developed into "Special Reach". , and a "special variation" presentation mode in which any one of the above-described "ready-to-win display" can be performed.

The value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is updated, for example, periodically (in the fourteenth embodiment, once per timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98)). Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting port 64a, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is the first reserved ball storage area 273d provided in the first reserved ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first starting port 64a. It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 of the first reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the first to fourth areas. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting hole 64b, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 at that time is the second holding ball storage area 273e provided in the second holding ball storage area 273e corresponding to the second starting hole 64b. It is stored in the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 of the second reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the first to fourth areas.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, the stop pattern selection counter C3 of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is changed according to the validity of the variable performance, the current game state, and the number of variable performances of both special symbols currently on hold (number of pending balls). The stop pattern table 272d that refers to the values is configured differently. That is, the stop pattern table 272d is provided in a plurality of types, and is configured to be selected according to the number of variable effects (the number of pending balls) of both special symbols in standby.

In addition, in the fourteenth embodiment, when determining the detailed variation pattern of the variation effect, first, based on the number of reservations table 272c provided in the ROM 272, the propriety of the variation effect, the current game state, and the current One of the stop pattern tables 272d corresponding to the number of variable effects (the number of pending balls) is selected. Then, based on the selected stop pattern table 272d and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, a rough effect mode of the variable effect is selected. Thereafter, a detailed variation pattern (fluctuation time) of the variable performance is determined based on the selected performance mode and the value of the variation type counter CS1, which will be described later.

Here, with reference to FIG. 120, the details of the pending number table 272c will be described. FIG. 120 is a schematic diagram of the pending number table 272c. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, a variable effect (dynamic display; the same applies hereinafter) is performed based on the ball entering the first starting port 64a or the second starting port 64b. In the case, refer to the pending number table 272c based on the propriety of the variable effect, the game state at that time, and the total pending number of the variable effects of the special figure 1 and special figure 2 at that time, It is configured to select stop pattern tables 272d1 to 272d5. Then, based on the selected stop pattern tables 272d1 to 272d5 and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, a rough effect mode of the variable effect is determined.

Specifically, as shown in the reserved number table 272c of FIG. 120, when the total number of reserved balls is "1 to 3" at the time of extracting a loss in the "normal game state", or the "time reduction state ” and the total number of reserved balls is “1”, the A table 272d1 (see FIG. 121(a)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected.

In addition, when extracting a loss in the "normal game state" and the number of retained balls is "4 to 8", or when extracting a loss in the "time shortened state" and the number of retained balls is "2 to 8", the B table 272d2 (see FIG. 121(b)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected.

Furthermore, when a jackpot is won (that is, when "16R jackpot", "8R jackpot" and "4R jackpot" are extracted), the D table of the stop pattern table 272d is displayed regardless of the game state or the number of reserved balls. 272d4 (see FIG. 122(a)) is selected.

Also, when winning a small win (that is, when extracting a small winning game), the E table 272d5 (see FIG. 122(b)) of the stop pattern table 272d is selected regardless of the game state or the number of reserved balls. be done.

That is, when any jackpot is won, the stop pattern table 272d (D table 272d4) is selected based only on the jackpot type regardless of the number of held balls or the game state at that time, and a small hit is won. In this case, the stop pattern table 272d (E table 272d5) is selected based only on winning the small win regardless of the number of held balls or the game state at that time, and either the big win or the small win is selected. Only when there is no winning (that is, at the time of losing), the stop pattern table 272d (A table 272d1 or B table 272d2) is selected based on the number of reserved balls and the game state at that time.

It should be noted that the stop pattern table 272d may be configured to differ according to the number of reserved balls even when a big win or a small win is won. For example, when a big hit is won and the number of pending balls is large, a stop pattern table 272d in which a relatively short variation pattern is likely to be selected It may be configured to allow selection of the "Special Reach" effect mode, etc.).

Next, each stop pattern table 272d will be described with reference to FIGS. 121 and 122. FIG. FIG. 121 is a diagram showing a stop pattern table 272d that can be selected at the time of failure. FIG. 121(a) is a diagram schematically showing an example of an A table 272d1 of the stop pattern table 272d. (b) is a diagram schematically showing an example of a B table 272d2 of the stop pattern table 272d. Also, FIG. 122 is a diagram schematically showing a stop pattern table 272d that is selected at the time of a big win or a small win, and FIG. 122(b) is a diagram schematically showing an example of the E table 272d5 of the stop pattern table 272d.

As shown in FIG. 121(a), in the A table 272d1 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is set to "0" to "74". , the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "75" to "94", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "95" to " 97", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "98" and "99". In the A table 272d1, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "non-reach (short)" effect mode, and the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is set so as not to be selected. ing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 121(b), in the B table 272d2 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is "0" to "74". , the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "75" to "94", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "95" to "97", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "98, 99". In the B table 272d2, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode, and the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is set so as not to be selected. ing.

That is, in the A table 272d1, the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is 75%, the "normal reach" effect mode is 20%, the "super reach" effect mode is 3%, and the "special reach" effect mode is 2%. It is set to be a selection ratio. In addition, in the B table 272d2, the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is 75%, the "normal reach" effect mode is 20%, the "super reach" effect mode is 3%, and the "special reach" effect mode is 2%. It is set to be a selection ratio.

Therefore, the "non-reach (long)" effect mode is selected on the A table 272d1, and the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected instead of the "non-reach (long)" effect mode on the B table 272d2. is configured as

Therefore, it can be said that the A table 272d1 tends to have a comparatively longer variation time of the selected variation effect than the B table 272d2. In other words, it can be said that the B table 272d2 tends to shorten the variation time of the selected variation effect compared to the A table 272d1.

The selection ratios of the "normal reach" effect mode, the "super reach" effect mode and the "special reach" effect mode are set to be the same for the A table 272d1 and the B table 272d2.

In this way, when a losing lottery result is extracted, the production mode of the variable production is selected based on the number of pending balls of the variable production being held. For example, when the number of pending balls in the variable effect is large, a "non-reach (short)" effect mode with a short variable effect time is selected. Thus, when the number of pending balls of the variable performance is large, the execution time of the variable performance to be executed is shortened and the number of times of execution of the variable performance is increased, so that the execution efficiency of the variable performance can be improved.

Also, for example, when the number of suspended balls in the variable effect is small, in order to ensure the ball entry time to the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b, the "non-reach (short)" effect mode A "non-reach (long)" presentation mode with a long variable presentation time is selected. As a result, since the "non-reach (long)" effect mode with a longer variable effect time than when the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is selected, the first start port 64a or the second start port 64b can be performed. It becomes easy to secure the ball entry time to the ball, and by increasing the possibility that a new start winning will occur during the execution time of the variable performance in the third pattern display device 81, the situation where the variable performance is executed. can be maintained.

In the fourteenth embodiment, the stop pattern table 272d selected based on the number of balls held in the variable effect is configured to be different in the selection of the effect mode in the variable effect of losing, but the first start port 64a Alternatively, the determination of the variable performance based on the entry of the ball into the second starting port 64b and the determination of the variable performance based on the start of the variable performance based on the entry are performed so that substantially the same performance mode is selected. is configured to

Specifically, in the case of a losing variable performance, either one of the A table 272d1 or the B table 272d2 is selected based on the number of pending balls in the variable performance, but the A table 272d1 and B table 272d2, the value of the stop pattern counter C3 allocated to the "non-reach (long)" effect mode or the "non-reach (short)" effect mode is the same, and the value of the stop pattern counter C3 allocated to the other effect mode is the same. The values of the stop pattern counters C3 are also set to be the same.

That is, based on the number of pending balls of the variable production, the only difference is whether the "non-reach (long)" production mode is selected or the "non-reach (short)" production mode is selected. The same presentation mode is selected. Therefore, the effect mode selected at the time of starting winning and the effect mode selected at the start of fluctuation are substantially the same effect mode even if the game state changes (for example, the number of held balls increases). is selected. As a result, even if a pre-reading notice such as "holding change notice" is performed based on the presentation mode selected at the time of starting winning, in the variable effect that is the target of the pre-reading notice, the contents of the pre-reading notice On the other hand, it is possible to execute an effect that does not cause any discrepancies.

Next, as shown in FIG. 122(a), in the D table 272d4 of the stop pattern table 272d, the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "normal reach" effect mode is set to "0" to "4", The range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "super reach" effect mode is set to "5" to "39", and the range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to the "special reach" effect mode is set to "40" to " 99”. In the D table 272d4, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the "special variation" rendering mode, and the "special variation" rendering mode is set not to be selected. In addition, the D table 272d4 is the stop pattern table 202d that is selected at the time of the big win, and since "ready-to-win display" always occurs, each "non-ready-to-win" effect mode is not selected.

Next, as shown in FIG. 122(b), in the E table 272d5 of the stop pattern table 272d, the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is assigned only to the "special variation" effect mode ("0" to "99"). , the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is not assigned to the effect mode in which the other "ready-to-win display" is executed. Therefore, the stop type to be selected when a small win is won is always set to be the "special variation" presentation mode. In addition, since the E table 272d5 is the stop pattern table 272d selected at the time of the small winning, each "non-reach" effect mode is not selected.

That is, in the D table 272d4, the selection ratio is set to 5% for the "normal reach" effect mode, 35% for the "super reach" effect mode, and 60% for the "special reach" effect mode. Also, in the E-table 272d5, the "special variation" rendering mode is set to have a selection ratio of 100%.

Therefore, in the variation production at the time of winning the jackpot, the selection ratio is high in the order of “special reach” production mode > “super reach” production mode > “normal reach” production mode, and in the fluctuation production at the time of losing, “normal reach” production mode> The selection ratio is set to increase in the order of "super reach" effect mode > "special reach" effect mode. Therefore, the degree of expectation for a big win at the time of appearance of each "ready-to-win display" is high in the order of the "special ready-to-win" production mode>"super ready-to-win" production mode>"normal reach" production mode. configured to be Thus, the degree of expectation for the big win can be shown to the player by the performance mode of the variable performance, and the player can enjoy the exhilaration of the big win according to the performance mode of the executed variable performance.

From the above, the state in which the game is performed by determining the effect mode of the variable effect to be executed based on the propriety of the variable effect, the game state at that time, and the number of balls held in the variable effect at that time By shortening the execution time of the variable performance and increasing the number of times of execution of the variable performance based on, it is possible to select a performance mode that enhances the execution efficiency of the variable performance.

Returning to FIG. 117, the description is continued. The fluctuation type counter CS1 is, for example, configured to be incremented by "1" in order within the range of "0 to 9" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "9"). The value of the variation type counter CS1 is updated once each time the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) is executed, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time in the main process (see FIG. 17). Then, at the timing when the ball wins the first starting hole 64a, the value of the variation type counter CS1 at that time is provided in the first reserved ball storage area 273d of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the first starting hole 64a. It is stored in the variation type counter storage area 273d4 of the first reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored among the first reservation first to fourth areas. Also, at the timing when the ball wins the second starting hole 64b, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 at that time is stored in the second reserved ball storage area 273e of the RAM 273 provided corresponding to the second starting hole 64b. It is stored in the variation type counter storage area 273e4 of the second reservation area in which the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored among the second reservation first to fourth areas.

This variation type counter CS1 is used to determine a detailed variation pattern of the variation effect. That is, the MPU 271 of the main control device 110, in the effect mode selected by the stop pattern table 272d and the stop pattern selection counter C3, by the value of the variation type counter CS1 and the variation pattern table 272e stored in the ROM272, detailed Determining fluctuation patterns. Determination of the variation pattern is, specifically, determination of the variation time of the variation effect. The voice ramp control device 113 and the display control device 114 are based on the variation pattern (variation time) determined by the variation type counter CS1, the reach type and the fine pattern of the third pattern displayed on the third pattern display device 81 A variation mode is determined, and the presence or absence of execution of the notice performance and the execution mode of the notice performance are determined.

Thus, the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 selects a rough variation pattern of the variation effect and determines only the variation time. By configuring in this way, in the MPU 271 of the main control device 110, since it is not necessary to perform control such as detailed notice lottery necessary for executing the variable performance, the processing of the MPU 271 regarding the variable performance can be reduced. can. In addition, the main controller 110 does not need to prepare commands for all variation patterns of the variation effect, and the ROM capacity of the main controller 110 can be reduced.

Further, in the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, based on the variation time (rough variation pattern) determined by the main control device 110, by determining the detailed variation pattern in the variation performance, the variation performance You can increase your freedom of choice. Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 in which the game state changes from moment to moment, it is possible to select or change the effect content of the variable effect at any time corresponding to the change, and to execute an appropriate effect according to the game state. can.

Details of the variation pattern table 272e will now be described with reference to FIGS. 123 and 124. FIG. This pachinko machine 10 has a variation pattern table 272e for special figure 1 loss, which is commonly used in all game states when the first special symbol is lost, and a variation pattern table 272e1 for special figure 1 loss when the first special symbol is lost, and when the first special symbol is a big hit.

FIG. As shown in FIGS. 123 and 124, each variation pattern table 272e1 to 272e4 is grouped based on the selected effect mode.

Specifically, as the production mode at the time of losing, "E0: non-reach (long)" and "non-reach (short)" are referred to when the "non-reach (long)" production mode is determined. "E1: non-reach (short)" referred to when the mode is determined, "E2: normal reach" referred to when the "normal reach" production mode is determined, and "super reach" performance mode are divided into "E3: Super reach" which is referred to when is determined, and "E4: Special reach" which is referred to when the "Special reach" effect mode is determined. In addition, as the production mode at the time of the big hit / small hit, "E6: normal reach" which is referred when the "normal reach" production mode is decided and "super reach" which is referred when the production mode is decided For "E7: Super Reach", for "E8: Special Reach" that is referred to when the "Special Reach" production mode is determined, and "E9" that is referenced when the "Special Fluctuation" production mode is determined : for special fluctuations. A value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each of the divided groups.

In the fourteenth embodiment, when the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the reservation area with the first reservation ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first special symbol is not a jackpot value (jackpot random value), that is, When the value is a loss, the stop pattern table 272d is selected based on the game state at that point and the number of balls held at that point by referring to the holding number table 272c, and the same holding area is selected. and the stop pattern table 272d. Then, a group (group) to be referred to in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1 is determined based on the selected effect mode.

In other words, in the case of the "normal reach" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, the fluctuation pattern must be ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element" is selected.

Next, in the special figure 1 losing variation pattern table 272e1, "E3: Super Reach" includes ""high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" variation with an overall variation time of "30 seconds" One variation pattern of "element + variable element of "normal reach" + variable element of "super reach"" is prepared.

"High speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Special reach" variable element are associated with the value ("0 to 9") of It is In other words, in the case of the "special reach" production mode in the fluctuation production of the first special symbol, the fluctuation pattern must be ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "Variable element of 'special reach'" is selected.

In addition, the variation pattern at the time of the loss of the special figure 1 (the variation pattern at the time of the special figure 1 jackpot, or the variation pattern at the time of the special figure 2 loss or the jackpot / small hit is the same) The production mode is the same variation pattern , the variation pattern may be determined without using the variation type counter CS1. In addition, although selection is performed using only the fluctuation type counter CS1, a plurality of fluctuation type counters may be used together for selection (selection of presence/absence of advance notice display, etc.).

Next, with reference to FIG. 123(b), the special figure 1 jackpot variation pattern table 272e2 referred to when the first special symbol is hit will be described. In the fourteenth embodiment, when the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the reservation area with the first reservation ball storage area 273d corresponding to the first special symbol is a value that becomes a jackpot, refer to the reservation number table 272c.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be expected from any variation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 1 jackpot variation pattern table 272e2, "E8: Special Reach" includes ""Fast variation (long)" variation element + "Slow variation" variation with a total variation time of "40 seconds" Element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Special reach" variable element" and ""High speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "Low speed fluctuation" variable element + " Two variation patterns of "normal reach" variation element + "special reach" variation element + "re-variation" variation element" are selectably prepared, and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each variation pattern. It is

In the example shown in FIG. 123(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E8: Special Reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation "0 to 4" for "element + "normal reach" variable element + "special reach" variable element", ""high speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" "5 to 9" for the variable element + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "re-variation".

In addition, in the fourteenth embodiment, since it is configured so as not to win a small hit in the dynamic display of the first special symbol, in the special figure 1 big win variation pattern table 272e2, it is executed when a small win is won. There is no variation pattern corresponding to "E9: special variation" to be described later.

In addition, it is configured to select a variation pattern of "variation element of 'high-speed variation (long)' + variation element of 'low-speed variation' + variation element of 'normal reach' + variation element of 'super reach'". Therefore, it is possible to provide a game property in which a big win can be expected from any variation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e4, "E8: Special Reach" includes ""high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" with an overall variation time of "40 seconds" ” variable element + ”Normal Reach” variable element + ”Special Reach” variable element”, and ”High-speed variation (long)” variable element + ”Low-speed variation” variation with an overall variation time of “45 seconds” Element + ``Normal Reach'' variation element + ``Special Reach'' variation element + ``Re-variation'' variation element" are selectably prepared, and the value of the variation type counter CS1 for each variation pattern are associated.

In the example shown in FIG. 124(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E8: Special Reach" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation "0 to 4" for "element + "normal reach" variable element + "special reach" variable element", ""high speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" "5 to 9" for the variable element + variable element of "special reach" + variable element of "re-variation".

That is, when the "special reach" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit / small hit variation pattern table 272e4 that is referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect, "high speed variation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "special reach" fluctuation element" fluctuation pattern is 50%, ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + “Normal Reach” variable element + “Special Reach” variable element + “Re-variable” variable element” is set to be selected at a rate of 50%.

Therefore, in the "special reach" effect mode selected at the time of the second special symbol jackpot, ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "special reach" "variation element" variation pattern and ""high-speed variation (long)" variation element + "low-speed variation" variation element + "normal reach" variation element + "special reach" variation element + "re-variation" variation The fluctuation patterns of the elements are selected equally (50% each). As a result, it is possible to provide game characteristics in which a big win can be equally expected in any variation pattern.

Next, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4, "E9: special variation" includes "high speed variation (long)" variation element + "low speed variation" with an overall variation time of "20 seconds" ” variable element + ”Normal Reach” variable element” and ”30 seconds” ”“High Speed Variation (Long)” variable element + ”Low Speed Variation” variable element + ”Normal Reach” variable element + ”Super Reach” "Variation element of" and ""High speed variation (long)" variation element + "Low speed variation" variation element + "Normal reach" variation element + "Special reach" variation element with an overall variation time of "40 seconds" ] are prepared to be selectable, and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each variation pattern.

In the example shown in FIG. 124(b), the correspondence between the fluctuation pattern in "E9: special fluctuation" and the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is "high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation "0 to 3" for element + "normal reach" variable element", ""high speed fluctuation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" variable element + "normal reach" variable element + "super reach" "4 to 6" for "Variable element", "Variable element for "High speed fluctuation (long)" + Variable element for "Low speed fluctuation" + Variable element for "Normal reach" + Variable element for "Special reach"" It is "7 to 9".

That is, when the "special variation" effect mode is selected in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4 referred to when executing the second special symbol variation effect, "high speed variation (long)" variable element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element" fluctuation pattern is 40%, ""high speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "normal reach" fluctuation element + "Super Reach" variable element" variation pattern is 30%, ""High speed variation (long)" variable element + "Low speed variation" variable element + "Normal reach" variable element + "Special reach" variable element" is set to be selected at a rate of 30%.

Therefore, in the ``special variation'' effect mode selected at the time of the small hit of the second special symbol, the variation of ``variation element of ``high speed variation (long)'' + variation element of ``low speed variation'' + variation element of ``normal reach'' Patterns are more likely to be selected (40% of the total). In addition, the fluctuation pattern of ""High speed fluctuation (long)" fluctuation element + "Low speed fluctuation" fluctuation element + "Normal reach" fluctuation element + "Super reach" fluctuation element" and ""High speed fluctuation (long)" 's variation element + 'low speed variation' variation element + 'normal reach' variation element + 'special reach' variation element' variation pattern is also selected, so that any variation pattern can be a small hit It is possible to provide playability that can be expected.

As a result, all "ready-to-win displays" can be selected when a small win is won in the second special symbol, so players can expect a lottery result of a big win or a small win in any of the "ready-to-win displays." It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

It should be noted that the variation pattern in the case of winning a small prize is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, when a small hit is won by lottery in the second special symbol, a long variation pattern (for example, a variation pattern including a "re-variation" variation element) may be configured to be performed. , a short variation pattern (for example, a variation pattern with only “high-speed variation (short)” variation elements) may be performed.

Returning to FIG. 117, the description is continued. The random number counter C4 per normal figure is configured as a loop counter that is incremented by one within the range of, for example, "0 to 99" and returns to "0" after reaching the maximum value (that is, "99"). Also, when the random number counter C4 per normal pattern makes one round, the value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the random number counter per normal pattern C4.

The value of the random number counter C4 per normal figure is updated, for example, periodically (in the 14th embodiment, once per timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98)), and it is detected that the ball has passed through the through gate 67. At the same timing, it is stored in one of the general pattern holding first to fourth areas provided in the general pattern holding ball storage area 273i of the RAM 273 in the general pattern holding area. Then, the data is sequentially shifted to the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j in the order stored in the normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i, and the value of the normal pattern random number counter C4 stored in the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j. Make a hit judgment against it.

The value of the random number that becomes the hit of the normal pattern is set by the normal pattern random number table 272f (see FIG. 125(a)) stored in the ROM 272 of the main control device 110, and is stored in the normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j. If the value of the counter C4 per normal pattern coincides with the value of the random number set by the random number table 272f per normal pattern, it is determined to be a hit. After the hit determination, the normal symbol variation table 272g (see FIG. 125(b)) is referred to according to the game state, the variable display time of the normal symbol is set, and the variable display time of the normal symbol display device 83 elapses. After that, the symbol "o" is lit and displayed as a stop symbol (normal symbol). After that, the electric role release table 272h (see FIG. 125(c)) is referred to according to the game state to set the projecting time of the normal electric role 64c, and the normal electric role 64c protrudes during the release time. During that time, the ball is configured to be able to enter the second starting port 64b.

On the other hand, if the value of the counter C4 per general pattern stored in the general pattern reservation area does not match the value of the random number that is set by the random number table 272f per general pattern, it is determined to be lost. After the determination of the loss, the variable display time is set by referring to the normal symbol variation table 272g (see FIG. 125(b)) according to the game state, and after the variable display time has elapsed in the normal symbol display device 83, the stop symbol A symbol of "x" is lit and displayed as a (normal symbol).

Here, with reference to FIG. 125(a), details of the random number table 272f per normal pattern will be described. FIG. 125(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a random number table 272f per general pattern stored in the ROM 272. FIG.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, neither the special symbols nor the normal symbols are provided with a so-called probability variation function, and the random number table 272f per normal symbol is commonly used in all game states of the pachinko machine 10. Only one type is provided.

As shown in FIG. 125(a), in the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, the normal figure per random number counter C4 that becomes a hit in all game states (that is, "normal game state" and "time reduction state") The number of values is 99, and the values "1 to 99" are defined (set) in the random number table 272f per normal pattern. That is, the winning probability of normal symbols is set to be 99/100 (99%).

As a result, although the variable display of the normal symbols is set to make it easier to win, the variable display time of the normal symbols differs for each game state, which will be described later, and the projection of the normal electric combination 64c, which also differs for each game state. Depending on the time (number of times), it is configured to change whether or not it is possible to enter the second starting port 64b.

Then, with reference to FIG.125(b), the detail of the normal figure fluctuation table 272g is demonstrated. FIG. 125(b) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a normal pattern variation table 272g stored in the ROM 272. As shown in FIG.

The general pattern variation table 272g differs from the general pattern per random number table 272f, and is divided into two types for "normal game state" and "time reduction state". Then, the variable display time of normal symbols set for the "normal game state" and for the "time shortened state" are set differently. In this way, by differentiating the variable display time of the normal symbols between the "normal game state" and the "time shortened state", the time for deriving the success/fail result of the normal symbols is changed for each game state.

As shown in FIG. 125(b), in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the variable display time of normal symbols set in the case of the "normal game state" is set to "5 seconds". 272g. That is, in the "normal game state", the time from the start of variable display of the normal symbols to the derivation of the stop symbols is set to be "5 seconds" without exception.

On the other hand, the normal symbol variable display time set in the case of the "time shortened state" is defined in the normal symbol variation table 272g so as to be "0.5 seconds". That is, the time from the start of variable display of the normal symbols to the derivation of the stop symbols in the "time shortened state" is set to be "0.5 second" without exception.

As a result, when the variable display time of the normal symbol is changed according to the game state, the through gate 67 and the normal symbol are set so that it takes "0.5 second" or more for the ball to flow down from the through gate 67 to the normal electric circuit 64c. By arranging the electric wire 64c, it is possible to make a difference whether or not the variable display of the normal symbols is finished before the ball passing through the through gate 67 reaches the arrangement position of the normal electric wire 64c. As a result, in the "time shortening state", when the ball fired in the right-handed game passes through the through gate 67 and the variable display of the normal pattern is executed based on the passage, the ball is normal electronic combination 64c. By the time it reaches the disposition position of , the ordinary electric member 64c can protrude. As a result, the ball itself that has passed through the through gate 67 can be guided to the second starting port 64b side, and waste balls are reduced in the balls fired in the right-handed game, and the player's balls in the "time shortening state". reduction can be suppressed.

Next, referring to FIG. 125(c), the electrician release table 272h will be described. FIG. 125(c) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of the electric power release table 272h stored in the ROM 272. As shown in FIG. The electric win open table 272h is referred to when a win of a normal symbol occurs, and based on the game state at the timing when a win of a normal symbol occurs, the projection time and the number of projections of the normal winning win 64c are defined.

The electric role open table 272h is divided into groups based on the gaming state in which the normal symbols are drawn. Specifically, for the “normal game state” referred to in the “normal game state” and the “time shortened state” referred to in the “time shortened state”, the projection mode (the number of times and time) is changed.

As shown in FIG. 125(c), in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the number of protrusions of the normal electric combination 64c is set to "1 time" when the normal symbol is won in the "normal game state". , and its projecting time is defined in the electric power release table 272h so as to be "0.1 second". That is, when the normal symbol is won in the "normal game state", the normal electric combination 64c is set to protrude for a total of "0.1 second".

On the other hand, the number of protrusions of the normal electric role 64c is set to "3 times" when the normal symbol is won in the "time shortened state", and the electric role opening table is set so that the protrusion time is "5 seconds". 272h. That is, when the normal symbol is won in the "shortened time state", the normal electric combination 64c is configured to protrude for a total of "15 seconds".

Note that the immersion time (so-called interval time) between one protrusion of the normal electric element 64c and the next protrusion is set to be "1 second". Therefore, when the normal symbol is won in the "shortened time state", the projection and immersion of the normal electric player 64c are intermittently repeated for a total of "17 seconds".

As a result, by changing the projection mode of the normal electric part 64c according to the game state, it is possible to make a difference in the length of the period during which the normal electric part 64c protrudes. As a result, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, there is a situation in which the normal electric element 64c protrudes for a long period of time, so that it is easy to win the prize toward the second start opening 64b side, or a situation in which the ordinary electric element 64c protrudes. It is possible to create a different playability for each game state by making it difficult (impossible) for the ball to enter the second starting hole 64b due to the shortness, depending on the game state.

In addition, the hit probability of variable display of normal symbols and the variable display time of variable display are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, the winning probability of normal symbols may be any probability as long as it is easier to win in the variable display of normal symbols in the "shortened time state" than in the "normal game state". The winning probability of normal symbols may be set to about 1/100 to make it difficult to win. Also, as the variable display time of the normal symbols, any variable display time may be used as long as the "time reduction state" is shorter than the "normal game state". For example, the variable display time of the normal symbols in the "normal game state" It may be a long time of "5 seconds" or more (eg, "30 seconds") or a short time of less than "5 seconds" (eg, "1 second").

Moreover, the projecting time and the number of projecting times of the ordinary electric terminal 64c are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, the projection time of the normal electric player 64c in the “normal game state” may be set to “0.1 seconds” or more (for example, “1 second”), or the number of projections may be set to “1 time”. ” or more (for example, “three times”). In addition, the projecting time of the ordinary electric terminal 64c in the "time shortened state" may be a long time of "5 seconds" or more (eg, "10 seconds"), or a short time of less than "5 seconds" (eg, "1 second"). seconds”). Furthermore, the number of projections of the normal electric terminal 64c in the “time shortened state” may be set to a number greater than “3 times” (for example, “10 times”) or a number less than “3 times” (for example, “1 times”).

Returning to FIG. 116, the description continues. The RAM 273 includes a counter buffer 273c shown in FIG. 117, a stack area for storing the contents of the internal registers of the MPU 271 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 271, various flags and counters, an I/O and a work area (work area) in which values such as O are stored. The RAM 273 is configured to retain (back up) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply 115 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off, and all the data stored in the RAM 273 is backed up. .

The RAM 273 further includes a first reserved ball number counter 273a, a second reserved ball number counter 273b, a first reserved ball storage area 273d, a second reserved ball storage area 273e, a reserved ball execution area 273fa, and a normal figure reserved ball number counter 273h. , a normal pattern reserved ball storage area 273i, and a normal pattern reserved ball execution area 273j.

The reserved ball execution area 273fa, as described above, is a storage area commonly used by the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and starts execution or executes the first special symbol or the second special symbol. 2. Data to be referred to in processes such as the big hit lottery or small lottery of special symbols, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, and the setting of the variable effect (counters C1 to C3, C5, CS1 ) is a memory for storing each value of

When the MPU 271 detects that it is the execution start timing of the variation performance of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the jackpot lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display In order to execute processing such as dynamic display of device 81 and setting of variable effect, data (counter C1- C3, CS1 values), the data corresponding to one of the starting winnings of the data is shifted to this reserved ball execution area 273fa. Note that "shift" in the fourteenth embodiment means moving data stored in one area to another area.

Here, with reference to FIG. 117 again, the details of the first reserved ball storage area 273d, the second reserved ball storage area 273e and the reserved ball execution area 273fa will be described. The first reserved ball storage area 273d, the second reserved ball storage area 273e and the reserved ball execution area 273fa are used for the first special symbol or second special symbol jackpot lottery and the operation of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81. It is used by the MPU 271 of the main control unit 110 in order to set target display and variable effect.

As described above, the first special symbol or second special symbol jackpot lottery or small winning lottery, the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 and the setting of the variable effect include the jackpot lottery and A big win random number counter C1 used for a small win lottery, a big win type counter C2 used for determining the big win type, a stop pattern selection counter C3 used for determining the performance mode of the variable performance, and a variation used for determining the variation pattern. A type counter CS1 and a small hit type counter C5 used for determining a small hit type are used. The first reserved ball storage area 273d stores the respective values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 obtained from the counter buffer 273c by the MPU 271 when the ball enters the first starting port 64a (start winning), The second reserved ball storage area 273e stores the respective values of the counters C1 to C3, CS1 and C5 obtained from the counter buffer 273c by the MPU 271 when the ball enters the second starting port 64b (start winning). .

The first reserved ball storage area 273d is composed of four reserved areas (first reserved first to fourth areas). Each of the four reservation areas (first reservation first to fourth areas) has a jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type counter storage area that stores the value of the jackpot type counter C2. 273d2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 for storing the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, and a variation type counter storage area 273d4 for storing the value of the variation type counter CS1.

The second reserved ball storage area 273e is composed of four reserved areas (second reserved first to fourth areas). Each of the four reservation areas (second reservation first to fourth areas) has a jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 that stores the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type counter storage area that stores the value of the jackpot type counter C2. 273e2, a stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 that stores the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, a variation type counter storage area 273e4 that stores the value of the variation type counter CS1, and a small that stores the value of the small hit type counter C5 A win type counter storage area 273e5 is provided.

Incidentally, in the fourteenth embodiment, the jackpot random number counter storage areas 273d1 and 273e1, the jackpot type counter storage areas 273d2 and 273e2, the stop pattern selection counter storage areas 273d3 and 273e3, the fluctuation type counter storage areas 273d4 and 273e4, and the small The hit type counter storage area 273e5 is provided together in one reserved ball storage area 273d, 273e (the small hit type counter storage area 273e5 is only the second reserved ball storage area 273e), but each counter C1 A plurality of holding ball storage areas may be provided for each of C3, C5, and CS1.

In the fourteenth embodiment, the first reserved ball storage area 273d is not provided with a small hit type counter storage area, but the first reserved ball storage area 273d is also configured to provide a small hit type counter. good too. By configuring in this way, the same counter value can be acquired when the ball enters the first starting port 64a and when the ball enters the second starting port 64b, and the common program can be used. can be used. As a result, the number of man-hours for developing control programs can be reduced, and the program capacity in the ROM 272 can be reduced.

In the first reserved ball storage area 273d, up to four data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1) obtained at the timing when the ball enters the first starting port 64a (start winning) is stored. However, in that case, data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) among the vacant areas of the 4 reservation areas (1st reservation 1st to 4th areas). That is, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the start winning to the first starting port 64a that is older in terms of time is stored, and the first reserve first area stores the data to the first starting port 64a that is the oldest in terms of time. , the data corresponding to the start winning will be stored.

In addition, in the second reserved ball storage area 273e, up to four data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1, C5) obtained at the timing when the ball enters the second starting port 64b (start winning) is stored. In that case, data is stored in order from the area with the smallest area number (1st to 4th) among the empty areas of the 4 reservation areas (2nd reservation 1st to 4th areas). remembered. That is, the smaller the area number, the data corresponding to the start winning to the second starting port 64b that is older in terms of time is stored, and the second reserve first area stores the data to the second starting port 64b that is the oldest in terms of time. , the data corresponding to the start winning will be stored.

On the other hand, the reserved ball execution area 273fa is composed of only one area. Like the second reserved ball storage area 273e, the reserved ball execution area 273fa includes a jackpot random number counter storage area 273fa1 for storing the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a jackpot type counter storage area for storing the value of the jackpot type counter C2. Area 273fa2, stop pattern selection counter storage area 273fa3 that stores the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3, variation type counter storage area 273fa4 that stores the value of the variation type counter CS1, and small that stores the value of the small hit type counter C5 A win type counter storage area 273fa5 is provided.

The pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment is provided with two special symbols (that is, the first special symbol and the second special symbol) as in the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment. Unlike the pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment that can execute the dynamic display of special symbols, only the dynamic display (variation effect) of one special symbol in the special symbol display device 39 (and the third symbol display device 81) is configured to be executable. Specifically, for example, in a state in which the dynamic display (variation effect) of the first special symbol is suspended, and in a state in which the dynamic display (variation effect) of the second special symbol is not suspended If there is, the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the first special symbol is executed in the special symbol display device 39 (and the third symbol display device 81). Also, for example, if the dynamic display (variation effect) of the first special symbol is suspended and the dynamic display (variation effect) of the second special symbol is also suspended, First, the special symbol display device 39 (and the third symbol display device 81) executes the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the second special symbol, and after the dynamic display of the suspended second special symbol is all executed. , Execute the dynamic display of the first special symbol that has been reserved (so-called special figure 2 priority fluctuation).

Therefore, in the RAM 273 of the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, as an execution area for storing information about the dynamic display and the variable effect executed by the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the 13th embodiment As shown in , the first reserved ball execution area 273f and the second reserved ball execution area 273g are not provided, and one reserved ball execution area 273fa is provided as the execution area.

When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variable effect, the data (each value of each counter C1 to C3, C5, CS1) is stored in the second reserved first area of the second reserved ball storage area 273e. If so, the data stored in the second reserved first area are shifted to areas 273fa1 to 273fa5 of the reserved ball execution area 273fa.

On the other hand, the MPU 271 does not store data in the second reserved first area of the second reserved ball storage area 273e when it is time to start executing the variable effect, and the first area of the first reserved ball storage area 273d When the data is stored in the first reserved area, the data stored in the first reserved first area (each value of each counter C1 to C3, CS1) is transferred to each area 273fa1 of this reserved ball execution area 273f. to 273fa4, respectively. In this case, since the area for storing the value of the small hit type counter C5 (that is, the small hit type counter storage area) is not provided in the first reserved ball storage area 273d, it corresponds to the value of the small hit type counter C5 Shift processing is omitted.

Then, refer to the data shifted to the holding ball execution area 273fa in the special figure 2 variation start process (see FIG. 129) or the special figure 1 variation start process (see FIG. 130), and based on the reference data jackpot lottery ( and/or a small winning lottery), and determines a variation pattern and a stop type corresponding to the lottery result. In the special symbol display device 39, dynamic display is performed under the control of the main controller 110 based on the determined variation pattern and stop type.

In addition, the variation pattern and the stop type determined here are the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, or the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 stop type command, the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. Then, under the control of the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, in the third symbol display device 81, the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, or the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 Variation effect is performed based on the variation pattern and the stop type notified by the stop type command.

The details of data shift will be explained. When the MPU 271 determines that it is time to start executing the variable effect, the MPU 271 determines whether or not data is stored in the second reserved first area of the second reserved ball storage area 273e. As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the data is stored in the second reservation first area, the random value of the second reservation first area jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 is changed to the jackpot random number of the reservation ball execution area 273fa. It shifts to the counter storage area 273fa1. Similarly, the random value of the jackpot type counter storage area 273e2 of the second reservation first area is shifted to the jackpot type counter storage area 273fa2, and the random value of the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3 of the second reservation first area is Shift to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273fa3, shift the random value of the variation type counter storage area 273e4 of the second reservation first area to the variation type counter storage area 273fa4, the small hit type counter of the second reservation first area The random value of the storage area 273e5 is shifted to the small hit type counter storage area 273fa5.

Then, when the data shift to the holding ball execution area 273fa is completed, the second holding first area becomes empty, so that each area (second to fourth) of the second holding ball storage area 273e ) is shifted to an area (first to third) whose area number is one smaller. In the fourteenth embodiment, data is shifted only for the second reserved areas (first to fourth) in which data is stored (reserved) in the second reserved ball storage area 273e.

Here, the data shift performed for each reserved area in the second reserved ball storage area 273e will be described. For example, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b when it is determined to start the variable effect is "4", and data is stored in all areas (first to fourth) of the second reserved ball storage area 273e. Suppose that In this state, the data in the second reserved first area is shifted to the reserved ball execution area 273fa, and when the second reserved first area becomes empty, the MPU 271 transfers the data of the other areas (second to fourth). are shifted to areas (first to third) whose area number is one smaller. That is, the data in the second reserved second area is shifted to the second reserved first area, the data in the second reserved third area is shifted to the second reserved second area, the data in the second reserved fourth area to the second reserved third area.

Further, for example, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b when the start determination of the variable effect is performed is "2", the MPU 271 transfers only the data of the second reserved second area to the second reserved second area. After shifting to area 1, data shift ends. As described above, in the fourteenth embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the second reservation areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (reserved), so the number of data shifts is reduced. can reduce the control burden.

It should be noted that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data in the second reservation area (second to fourth) may be configured to be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not data is stored (reserved) in the second reservation areas (second to fourth), so that it is possible to easily create a program.

On the other hand, when the MPU 271 determines that data is not stored in the second reserved first area of the second reserved ball storage area 273e when it is time to start executing the variable effect, then the first reserved ball storage area 273e It is determined whether or not data is stored in the first reservation first area of the ball storage area 273d. As a result of the determination, if data is stored in the first reserved first area, the random value of the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of the first reserved first area is changed to the jackpot random number counter storage area 273fa1 of the reserved ball execution area 273fa. shift to Similarly, the random value of the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2 of the first reservation first area is shifted to the jackpot type counter storage area 273fa2, and the random value of the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3 of the first reservation first area is It shifts to the stop pattern selection counter storage area 273fa3, and shifts the random value of the fluctuation type counter storage area 273d4 of the first reservation first area to the fluctuation type counter storage area 273fa4.

Then, when the data shift to the holding ball execution area 273fa is completed, the first holding first area becomes empty, so that each area (second to fourth) of the first holding ball storage area 273d ) is shifted to an area (first to third) whose area number is one smaller. In the fourteenth embodiment, data shift is performed only for the first reserved areas (first to fourth) in which data is stored (reserved) in the first reserved ball storage area 273d.

Here, data shift performed for each reserved area in the first reserved ball storage area 273d will be described. For example, the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a when it is determined to start the variable effect is "4", and data is stored in all areas (first to fourth) of the first reserved ball storage area 273d. Suppose that In this state, the data in the first reserved first area is shifted to the reserved ball execution area 273fa, and when the first reserved first area becomes empty, the MPU 271 transfers the data of the other areas (second to fourth). are shifted to areas (first to third) whose area number is one smaller. That is, the data in the first reserved second area is shifted to the first reserved first area, the data in the first reserved third area is shifted to the first reserved second area, the data in the first reserved fourth area to the first reserved third area.

Further, for example, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a when the start determination of the variable effect is made is "2", the MPU 271 transfers only the data of the first reserved second area to the first reserved second area. After shifting to area 1, data shift ends. As described above, in the fourteenth embodiment, data shift processing is not performed for the first reservation areas (third to fourth) in which data is not stored (reserved), so the number of data shifts is reduced. can reduce the control burden.

It should be noted that regardless of the presence or absence of data, each data in the first reservation area (second to fourth) may be configured to be shifted to an area with an area number one smaller. In that case, it becomes unnecessary to determine whether or not data is stored (reserved) in the first reservation area (second to fourth), so that it is possible to easily create a program.

Returning to FIG. 116, the description continues. The ROM 272 of the main controller 110 contains a jackpot opening table that is referred to for controlling the opening of the jackpot 65a of the variable winning device 65 when a jackpot is won in the lottery game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. 272i and a small winning opening table 272j referred to for opening control of the small winning opening 72a of the second variable winning device 72 when winning a small winning in the lottery game of the second special symbol. .

Here, with reference to FIG. 126, the big-hit open table 272i and the small-hit open table 272j will be described. FIG. 126(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a jackpot opening table 272i stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 126(b) schematically shows an example of a small winning opening table 272j stored in the ROM 272. It is a schematic diagram schematically shown. The jackpot opening table 272i is referred to at the time of the jackpot of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and based on the jackpot type generated in the dynamic display of each special symbol, the opening mode (number of times, maximum opening time, maximum winning number) are defined. In addition, the small hit release table 272j is referred to at the time of the small hit of the second special symbol, and regardless of the game state (substantially, "time reduction state" only), and the mode of opening one small winning hole 72a (number of times, maximum opening time, maximum winning number) is defined.

First, the jackpot release table 272i is divided based on the jackpot type of the jackpot. Specifically, for the "4R jackpot" that is referred to when the jackpot type "4R jackpot" is won, the "8R jackpot" that is referred to when the jackpot type "8R jackpot" is won, and the jackpot type " The opening mode of the big winning opening 65a is changed for the "16R jackpot" which is referred to when the "16R jackpot" is won.

As shown in FIG. 126(a), in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when the big winning type "4R big winning" is won is "4 times". The maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is "30 seconds" and the maximum winning number is "10". is defined in the jackpot open table 272i to be "15".

Next, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when winning the jackpot type "8R jackpot" is "8 times", and the maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is "30 seconds". In addition, the maximum winning number is "10", and the number of winning balls to be paid out based on the winning of the balls into the big winning opening 65a is defined in the jackpot opening table 272i to be "15". .

Next, the number of openings of the big winning opening 65a set when winning the jackpot type "16R jackpot" is "16 times", and the maximum opening time for opening one of the big winning openings 65a is "30 seconds". In addition, the maximum winning number is "10", and the number of winning balls to be paid out based on the winning of the balls into the big winning opening 65a is defined in the jackpot opening table 272i to be "15". .

As a result, the number of prize balls that can be paid out is different for each jackpot type that is won, so that the game value that is directly given can be made different according to the jackpot type that is won. As a result, in the lottery game of the special symbols, it is possible to create a playability of determining which jackpot type is won or not, and to improve the amusement of the game.

It should be noted that the mode of opening the big winning opening 65a based on the jackpot type (number of times, maximum opening time, maximum number of winnings, number of winning balls, and transition game state) is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. be. Specifically, the number of opening times may be the same for each jackpot type, the maximum opening time may be changed for each jackpot type, or the maximum winning number may be changed. you can Moreover, it is not necessary to shift to a separate game state for each jackpot type, and it may be configured to shift to a common game state for a plurality of jackpot types.

Next, as shown in FIG. 126(b), in the pachinko machine 10 of the 14th embodiment, there is one type of opening mode of the small winning opening 72a that is set when a small winning is won. The number of openings of the small winning openings 72a is "1 time", the maximum opening time for opening one of the small winning openings 72a is "1.8 seconds", and the maximum winning number is "1". , and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of balls into the small prize openings 72a is defined in the small prize opening table 272j so as to be "10".

In the fourteenth embodiment, a special area switch 208h is provided in the small winning opening 72a, and by winning the small winning game and detecting the ball in the special area switch 208h in the opened small winning opening 72a, It is configured so that a jackpot game occurs (so-called 2 types). Therefore, although the act of making the ball enter the special area switch 208h is necessary, by "winning the small winning game with the second special symbol", the result is equivalent to "winning the big winning game with the second special symbol". Then, in the dynamic display in the second special symbol, the game property of whether or not to win either the big winning game or the small winning game is created.

The mode of opening the small winning opening 72a based on the small win (the number of times, the maximum opening time, the maximum winning number, the number of winning balls, or the transition game state) is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. be. Specifically, the number of opening times in the small winning game may be configured to be performed multiple times, the maximum opening time may be changed, or the maximum winning number may be changed. you can

In addition, as the opening mode of the small winning opening 72a based on the small winning, the maximum opening time (for example, "1.8 seconds") based on the small winning game is the total accumulated number of seconds of the opening time of the small winning opening 72a. It may be configured to open and close the small prize winning opening 72a until the time is reached. Specifically, the opening time of one small winning opening 72a is set to "0.2 seconds", and the small winning opening 72a is repeatedly opened and closed "9 times" in one small winning game, The small winning openings 72a are opened so that the total opening time of the small winning openings 72a based on the game is equivalent to the maximum opening time. When the entire small winning game ends in a short period of time (that is, "1.8 seconds"), if a situation occurs in which the balls cannot be shot due to clogging of the balls, lack of balls in the upper tray 17, or the like during that period, the small winning will occur. The ball cannot be shot during the game, the special area switch 208h in the small prize winning opening 72a cannot detect the ball, the big win game does not occur, the game value that should be originally obtained cannot be obtained, and the player cannot get it. Unexpected damage may result. Therefore, by setting a long period during which the ball can enter the small winning hole 72a in the small winning game, the whole small winning game can be played for a long time, and unexpected problems such as ball clogging and lack of balls in the upper tray 17 can occur during that period. Even if a situation occurs, the above situation is resolved during the small winning game period, the ball is shot, the ball enters the small winning opening 72a, and the special area switch 208h detects the ball. can do. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of unexpected disadvantages for the player. In addition, it is preferable that the opening/closing plate that closes the small winning hole 72a is of a retractable type, and that the opening/closing plate protrudes when closed and retracts when opened, and a ball rolls on the upper surface of the opening/closing plate. is.

Returning to FIG. 116, the description continues. An input/output port 275 is connected to the MPU 271 of the main controller 110 via a bus line 274 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input/output port 275 includes the payout control device 111, the sound lamp control device 113, the special symbol display device 39, the normal symbol display device 83, the normal symbol reservation lamp 84, and the front side with the lower side of the opening and closing plate of the big winning opening 65a as the axis. A large winning opening solenoid (not shown) for opening and closing drive, a small winning opening solenoid (not shown) for driving opening and closing forward with the lower side of the opening and closing plate of the small winning opening 72a as an axis, and a normal electric A solenoid 209, such as a normal solenoid (not shown), is connected to open the terminal 64c.

The input/output port 275 is connected to various switches 208 including a switch group and a sensor group (not shown), a special area switch 208h, and a later-described RAM erasure switch circuit 253 provided in the power supply 115. Various processes are executed based on the signal output from the switch 208 and the RAM erasing signal SG2 output from the RAM erasing switch circuit 253 .

As described above, the special area switch 208h is configured to be able to detect a ball that has entered the small winning opening 72a. Output a signal. On the other hand, when the ball has not passed through the special area switch 208h, an off signal is output to the MPU 271. FIG. Therefore, the MPU 271 can recognize whether or not the ball has flowed into the small winning opening 72a based on the detection output of the special area switch 208h.

Next, various control processes executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110 in the fourteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 127 to 134. FIG. The processing of the MPU 271 can be broadly classified into startup processing (see FIG. 54) that is started when power is turned on, setting change processing that is executed during the startup processing (see FIG. 97), and after the startup processing, Main processing to be executed (see FIG. 17), timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) that is started periodically (4 millisecond cycle in the 14th embodiment), and input of the power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal There is an NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 15) started by . Here, for convenience of explanation, starting winning processing (see FIG. 127) executed within the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), special figure variation processing (see FIG. 128), and winning processing (see FIG. 132) will be explained. Note that the start-up processing (see FIG. 54), timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98), main processing (see FIG. 17), and NMI interrupt processing (see FIG. , seventh embodiment, and thirteenth embodiment), the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the starting winning process (S5108), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 127 is a flow chart showing the starting winning process (S5108) in the fourteenth embodiment.

In the start winning process (S5108), it is determined whether or not the ball has entered the first start hole 64a or the second start hole 64b. A process of storing (holding) the value of CS1 in the first holding ball storage area 273d is executed. Then, the processing for transmitting the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 to be held together with the number of held balls to the sound lamp control device 113 is executed. Also, when there is a winning to the second starting port 64b, the value of each counter C1-C3, CS1, C5 is stored (retained) in the second retained ball storage area 273e. Then, the processing for transmitting the values of the counters C1 to C3, CS1, and C5 to be held together with the number of held balls to the sound lamp control device 113 is executed.

In the start winning process (S5108), the MPU 271 first determines whether or not the ball has won the first start opening 64a (start winning) (S6001). Here, based on the output signal of the special figure 1 entrance switch (not shown) that detects the entry (winning) to the first start opening 64a read in the switch reading process (see S5105 in FIG. 98) , the ball entering the first starting port 64a is detected over three times of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

When it is determined that the ball has won the first starting hole 64a (there has been a starting prize) (S6001: Yes), then the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (the number of balls reserved in the main controller 110) It is determined whether or not the number N1 of active balls in dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of one special symbol is less than the upper limit value ("4" in the 14th embodiment) (S6002). Then, even if there is a prize to the first start port 64a, if the number of balls to be activated is not N1<4 (S6002: No), the start prize processing (S5108) is terminated, and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). back to

On the other hand, if the number N1 of balls held in operation is less than 4 (S6002: Yes), the value of the first ball number counter 273a (number of balls held in operation N1) is incremented by 1 (S6003). Then, this time, since the winning is to the first starting port 64a corresponding to the first special symbol, the first reserved ball storage area 273d is set as the storage destination of each random number value C1 to C3, CS1 (S6004), and processing is performed. to S6005.

In the process of S6005, each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1 is read from the counter buffer 273c (see FIG. 117), and the value set as the storage destination in S6004 Of the first reserved first to fourth areas provided in the one reserved ball storage area 273d, the jackpot random number counter storage area 273d1 of the area corresponding to the value indicated by the first reserved ball number counter 273a, the jackpot type counter storage area 273d2, stop pattern selection counter storage area 273d3, and fluctuation type counter storage area 273d4 (S6005).

Specifically, for example, in the process of S6005 based on the winning of the first starting port 64a, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after addition by the process of S6003 is "1", the first reserved first The values of counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are reserved in each storage area of one area. Also, if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after the addition is "2", each storage area in the first reserved second area is stored if the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after the addition is "3". If there is, in each storage area of the first reservation third area, if the value of the first reservation ball number counter 273a after addition is "4", in each storage area of the first reservation fourth area counters C1 to C3 , CS1 are reserved.

Next, the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a after the addition by the processing of S6003 (number of activated ball N1), and the jackpot random number counter C1 stored (reserved) in the first reserved ball storage area 273d by the processing of S6005, Each value of the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1, and a pending ball number command including data indicating that the command corresponds to the first special symbol is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113. For this purpose, the reserved ball number command is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S6006). Thereby, the pending ball number command related to the first special symbol is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process of S5101 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed next. After completing the process of S6006, the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

The values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 included in the pending ball number command in the processing of S6006 may be the values read from the counter buffer 273c in the processing of S6005. A value read from the value stored (reserved) in the sphere storage area 273d may be used.

In the processing of S6001, if it is determined that the ball has not entered the first starting port 64a (S6001: No), then it is determined whether or not the ball has entered the second starting port 64b (start winning). (S6007). Here, like the first starting port 64a, read in the switch reading process (see S5105 in FIG. 98), the special figure 2 entrance switch (not shown) that detects the entry (winning) to the second starting port 64b ), the ball entering the second starting port 64b is detected over three times of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

When it is determined that the ball has won the second starting port 64b (there has been a starting prize) (S6007: Yes), then the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (the value of the second reserved ball counter 273b) It is determined whether or not the number N2 of active balls in dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of 2 special symbols is less than the upper limit value ("4" in the 14th embodiment) (S6008). Then, if there is no winning to the second starting port 64b (S6007: No), or even if there is a winning to the second starting port 64b, if the number N2 of operation pending balls is not <4 (S6008: No), this The start winning process (S5108) is ended, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, if the number N2 of balls held in operation is less than 4 (S6008: Yes), the value of the second ball number counter 273b (number of balls held in operation N2) is incremented by 1 (S6009). Then, this time, since the winning is to the second starting port 64b corresponding to the second special symbol, the second reserved ball storage area 273e is set as the storage destination of each random number value C1 to C3, CS1, C5 (S6010). , the process proceeds to S6011.

In the process of S6011, each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the small hit type counter C5 is read from the counter buffer 273c (see FIG. 117) and stored in S6010. Of the second reserved first to fourth areas provided in the second reserved ball storage area 273e set as the first, the jackpot random number counter storage area 273e1 of the area corresponding to the value indicated by the second reserved ball number counter 273b , Big hit type counter storage area 273e2, stop pattern selection counter storage area 273e3, variation type counter storage area 273e4 and small hit type counter storage area 273e5 (S6011).

Specifically, for example, in the process of S6011 based on the winning to the second starting port 64b, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after addition by the process of S6010 is "1", the second reserved number The values of counters C1 to C3, CS1 and C5 are reserved in each storage area of one area. Also, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after the addition is "2", each storage area in the second reserved second area is stored if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after the addition is "3". If there is, in each storage area of the second reservation third area, if the value of the second reservation ball number counter 273b after addition is "4", in each storage area of the second reservation fourth area Counters C1 to C3, respectively , CS1 and C5 are reserved.

Next, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b after addition by the processing of S6009 (operational reserved ball number N2), the jackpot random number counter C1 stored (reserved) in the second reserved ball storage area 273e by the process of S6011, Retained ball number command including each value of big hit type counter C2, stop pattern selection counter C3, variation type counter CS1 and small hit type counter C5, and data indicating that it is a command corresponding to the second special symbol, by voice lamp In order to transmit it to the control device 113, the reserved pitches command is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S6012). Thereby, the pending ball number command regarding the second special symbol is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process of S5101 of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed next. After completing the process of S6011, the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

The values of the counters C1 to C3, CS1, and C5 included in the number-of-balls-holding command in the process of S6011 may be the values read from the counter buffer 273c in the process of S6011. A read value stored (reserved) in the 2-reserved ball storage area 273e may be used.

Next, with reference to FIG. 128, the special figure variation process (S5110), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing special figure variation processing (S5110) in the fourteenth embodiment.

The MPU 271, in this special figure variation processing (S5110), firstly, determines whether or not it is currently a big hit (S6101). During the jackpot, during the jackpot game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the special symbol display device 39 at the time of the jackpot, and during a predetermined time after the jackpot game ends (that is, the jackpot ending time. For example, "5 seconds".). As a result of the determination, if it is in the jackpot (S6101: Yes), the special figure variation process (S5110) is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

In the process of S6101, if it is not in the big hit (S6101: No), then it is determined whether or not it is in the small hit now (S6102). During the small hit, during the small hit game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the special symbol display device 39 at the time of the small hit, and during a predetermined time after the end of the small hit game (for example, the small hit ending time, eg "3 seconds"). As a result of the determination, if it is in the small hit (S6102: Yes), the special figure variation process (S5110) is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

In the process of S6102, if it is not in the small hit (S6102: No), then it is determined whether the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is during dynamic display (during fluctuation) (S6103), If the display mode of the symbol display device 39 is not in dynamic display (S6103: No), then, after the dynamic display on the special symbol display device 39 stops, a predetermined time (for example, "1 second") has elapsed (S6104). As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed since the dynamic display was stopped (S6104: No), the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98). As a result, the stop symbol in the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) is displayed on the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 for a predetermined time, so that the player can visually recognize the stop symbol. .

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S6104, if the predetermined time has elapsed after the dynamic display was stopped (S6104: Yes), then the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (which is reserved in the main controller 110) It is determined whether or not the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) operation pending ball number N2) regarding the second special symbol is greater than "0" (S6105).

As a result of the process of S6105, if the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (operational reserved ball number N2) is not "0" (S6105: Yes), execution of dynamic display (variation effect) relating to the second special symbol is started. It is determined that it is the timing, and first, the value of the second reserved ball number counter 273b (operational reserved ball number N2) is subtracted by 1 (S6106). This is because the execution of dynamic display (variation effect) of one of the dynamic display (variation effect) relating to the second special symbol that has been withheld is started by special figure 2 variation start processing (S6108) to be described later. , the number of reserved balls related to the second special symbol is reduced by one.

Next, shift processing is performed on the data stored in the second reserved ball storage area 273e (S6107). This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the second reserved first to fourth areas of the second reserved ball storage area 273e toward the reserved ball execution area 273fa. 1 area → reservation ball execution area 273fa, 2nd reservation 2nd area → 2nd reservation 1st area, 2nd reservation 3rd area → 2nd reservation 2nd area, 2nd reservation 4th area → 2nd reservation 3rd area In this way, the data within each area is shifted.

After the data shift process of S6107, based on the values of various counters stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa by the data shift process, the dynamic display of the second special symbol for the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 In order to execute the display and the fluctuation effect, the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing is executed (S6108), and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S6108) will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, as a result of the process of S6105, if it is determined that the value of the second held ball number counter 273b (operational held ball number N2) is not greater than "0" (for example, "0") (S6105: No), then , the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (the number N1 of active reserved balls for dynamic display (fluctuation effect) related to the first special symbol reserved in the main control device 110) is greater than "0". It is determined (S6109). If the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (operational reserved ball number N1) is not "0" (S6109: Yes), it is determined that it is time to start executing the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) regarding the first special symbol. First, 1 is subtracted from the value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a (operational reserved ball number N1) (S6110). This is because the execution of dynamic display (variation effect) of 1 out of the dynamic display (variation effect) relating to the reserved first special symbol is started by special figure 1 variation start processing (S6112) described later. , the number of reserved balls related to the first special symbol is reduced by one.

Next, shift processing is performed on the data stored in the first reserved ball storage area 273d (S6111). This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first reserved first to fourth areas of the first reserved ball storage area 273d toward the reserved ball execution area 273fa. 1 area → reservation ball execution area 273fa, 1st reservation 2nd area → 1st reservation 1st area, 1st reservation 3rd area → 1st reservation 2nd area, 1st reservation 4th area → 1st reservation 3rd area In this way, the data within each area is shifted.

After the data shift process of S6111, based on the values of various counters stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa by the data shift process, the dynamic display of the first special symbol for the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 In order to execute the display and the fluctuation production, the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing is executed (S6112), and the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) is returned to. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S6112) will be described later with reference to FIG.

As a result of the process of S6109, when it is determined that the value of the first ball number counter 273a (the number of ball balls being operated and held N1) is not greater than "0" (for example, "0") (S6109: No), the third symbol It is determined whether or not a demonstration effect is being performed on the display device 81, that is, whether or not the demonstration is in progress (S6113). In this determination process, after transmitting a demo command to the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113, the value of the first pending ball number counter 273a or the second pending ball number counter 273b (operating pending ball number N1 or The period until it is determined that any value of the number of held balls N2) is greater than "0" is determined to be during the demonstration.

If it is determined that the demo is not in progress (S6113: No), the demo command to be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 is set (S6114), and the process returns to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). On the other hand, if it is determined that the demonstration is being performed (S6113: Yes), the process directly returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98). The demo command set in the process of S6114 is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and in the external output process (see S5101 in FIG. 98) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next, It is sent to the audio lamp controller 113 .

In the process of S6103, when it is determined that the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is in dynamic display (S6103: Yes), it is determined whether or not the dynamic display time (variation time) has elapsed (S6115 ). The display time during the dynamic display of the special symbol display device 39 is determined according to the variation pattern selected by the variation type counter CS1 (determined according to the variation pattern command), and this dynamic display time If (fluctuation time) has not passed (S6115: No), the display of the special symbol display device 39 is updated (S6116), and the process returns to the timer interruption process (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, if the dynamic display time (fluctuation time) of the dynamic display in the special symbol display device 39 has passed (S6115: Yes), the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol is set for the special symbol display device 39. (S6117). The stop design is preset by special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S6108) or special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S6112) which will be described later with reference to FIG. 129 or FIG. In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process or the special figure 1 fluctuation start process, according to the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa by the process of S6107 or S6111 Whether it is a big hit or a small hit or a loss is determined, In the case of a big win, the value of the big win type counter C2 determines whether it is a "4R big win" pattern, an "8R big win" pattern, or a "16R big win" pattern. In addition, in the case of a small hit, depending on the value of the small hit type counter C5, it is a pattern of "small hit corresponding to 4R big win", a pattern of "small win corresponding to 8R big win", or a pattern of "small win corresponding to 16R big win". It is determined whether the pattern will be Furthermore, in the case of a loss, a symbol corresponding to the loss is determined.

When the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the processing of S6117, the stop symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol variation effect in the third symbol display device 81 is displayed as a special symbol. A confirmation command is set (S6118) in order to perform confirmation display in synchronization with the display of the device 39, and the process proceeds to S6119. The confirmation command is a command for confirming and displaying the variation effect of the first special symbol or the second special symbol being executed in the third symbol display device 81, and the variation effect of the first special symbol and the variation of the second special symbol. Commonly used in production. Upon receiving this confirmation command, the audio lamp control device 113 transmits a display confirmation command to the display control device 114 . The display control device 114 is configured to stop the variation effect of the third symbol in the third symbol display device 81 and to confirm and display the stopped symbol by receiving the confirmation command for display.

In the process of S6119, in order to determine whether or not the "time reduction state", whether the values of the special figure 2 time reduction counter and the total time reduction counter (both not shown) provided in the RAM 273 are both greater than "0" It is determined whether or not (S6119).

This special figure 2 time reduction counter and total time reduction counter are counters for indicating that it is in the "time reduction state", and the initial value is "0 ”is set, and a predetermined number (in the 14th embodiment, “1” or “7” for the special figure 2 time-saving counter, and “10” or “100” for the total time-saving counter) is set at the end of each jackpot Then, when the values of the special figure 2 time reduction counter and the total time reduction counter are both larger than "0", the game state is determined as "time reduction state". Specifically, in the jackpot end processing (see FIG. 133) in the hit processing (see FIG. 32) described later, when the jackpot state ends, the special figure 2 time reduction based on the jackpot game type (jackpot type) It is configured to set the value of the counter and the total time saving counter.

In the process of S6119, if the values of the special figure 2 time reduction counter and the total time reduction counter are not both "0" (S6119: Yes), it is a "time reduction state", and dynamic display of any special symbol (variation effect ) has ended once, in order to update (subtract) the value of the special figure 2 time saving counter or the total time saving counter (subtraction), time saving subtraction processing is performed (S6120), this special figure fluctuation processing (S5110) ends, timer Return to interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). The time saving subtraction process (S6120) will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, in the process of S6119, if both the values of the special figure 2 time reduction counter and the total time reduction counter are "0" (S6119: No), it is not the "time reduction state" but the "normal game state", so of S6120 Skip the process, end this special figure variation process (S5110), and return to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

Next, with reference to FIG. 129, special figure 2 variation start processing (S6108) which is one processing of special figure variation processing (S5110) when executed by MPU 271 in main controller 110 will be described. Figure 129 is the flowchart which shows the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S6108). This special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S6108) is based on the values of various counters stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa according to the gaming state, and the lottery of the second special symbol, the small hit or the loss (big hit lottery and A small winning lottery) is performed, and the dynamic pattern (variation pattern and stop type) of the dynamic display and the variation production related to the second special symbol performed by the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 are determined.

In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S6108), the MPU 271 first sets the special figure 2 big hit random number table 272a2 for the second special symbol (S6131), and then the big hit random number stored in the reserved ball execution area 272fa. The value of the counter C1, a small hit lottery to determine whether a small hit is won based on the special figure 2 big hit random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 118 (b)) set in S6131 (small hit right or wrong determination ) processing is performed (S6132).

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, whether or not a small win is made is determined based on the relationship between the value of the big win random number counter C1 and the set value at that time. That is, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 that is set based on the set value when the power is turned on, a small hit random number is set for each setting, and a small hit random number is set to "1250" in common for all set values. Although it is defined, it is configured so that the range of the small hit random number is also different with the change of the big hit random number that is different for each set value. Specifically, when the set value is "1", "50 to 1299" is defined as a small hit random value, and when the set value is "2", "52 to 1301" is a small hit random value. It is defined as a numerical value, and when the set value is "3", "54 to 1303" is defined as a small hit random number value, and when the set value is "4", "56 to 1305" is set as a small hit random number value. If the set value is "5", "58 to 1307" is defined as the small hit random value, and if the set value is "6", "60 to 1309" is defined as the small hit random value. be.

In the process of S6132, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is compared with the small hit random number value defined in these special figure 2 jackpot random number tables 272a2, and they match. In that case, it is determined that it is a small hit. As a result of the processing of S6132, when it is determined that it is a small hit (S6132: Yes), the value of the small hit type counter C5 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa and the special figure 2 corresponding to the second special symbol Based on the small hit type table 272b3 (see FIG. 119(c)), the display mode at the time of the small hit is set (S6133).

In this process, by the special figure 2 small per type table 272b3 (see FIG. 119 (c)), the small per type associated with the value of the small per type counter C5 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa, that is, When the ball passes through the special area switch 208h during the small winning game, a ``small winning corresponding to 16R big winning'' in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a ``time shortening state'' after the big winning of 16 rounds, or a maximum number of rounds of 8 rounds. It is discriminated whether it is an ʻ8R big win corresponding small win` in which the state is shifted to a ``time shortening state'' after the big win or a ``4R big win corresponding small win'' in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a ``time shortening state'' after the big win of 4 rounds. Then, based on the discriminated small hit type, the display mode at the time of the small hit in the special symbol display device 39 is set. In addition, as the display mode at the time of the small hit, for example, "341" in the case of "small hit corresponding to 16R jackpot", "134" in the case of "small hit corresponding to 8R jackpot", "small hit corresponding to 4R jackpot" , "143" is selected.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of the small hit is determined (S6134), and the process proceeds to S6141. Specifically, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the display mode (stop type) at the time of the small hit and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa A dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In the fourteenth embodiment, the E table 272d5 (see FIG. 122(b)) is selected without exception in determining the variation pattern at the time of the small hit regardless of the game state and the number of reserved balls, and the E table 272d5 is selected. The "E9: special variation" effect mode is selected without exception.

Specifically, in the E table 272d5 of the stop pattern table 272d, the effect mode associated with the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa is selected (in the fourteenth embodiment, all "Special change" production mode).

Then, a variation pattern associated with the type of effect mode in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4 and the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa is selected. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

On the other hand, in the process of S6132, if it is determined that the small hit is not won (S6132: No), then the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 272fa and the value of the big hit random number counter C1 set in S6131 Based on the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (see FIG. 118(b)), a jackpot lottery (jackpot success/failure determination) process for determining whether or not a jackpot is won is performed (S6135).

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, it is determined whether or not the game is a big win based on the relationship between the value of the big win random number counter C1 and the set value at that time. That is, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 that is set based on the set value when the power is turned on, different jackpot random numbers are set for each setting. Specifically, when the set value is "1", "0 to 49" is defined as the jackpot random number, and when the set value is "2", "0 to 51" is set as the jackpot random number. When the set value is "3", "0 to 53" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and when the set value is "4", "0 to 55" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and set When the value is "5", "0 to 57" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and when the set value is "6", "0 to 59" is defined as the jackpot random number value.

In the process of S6135, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is compared with the jackpot random number defined in these special figure 2 jackpot random number tables 272a2, and if they match , it is determined to be a jackpot. As a result of the processing of S6135, when it is determined that it is a jackpot (S6135: Yes), the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa and the special figure 2 jackpot type corresponding to the second special symbol Based on the table 272b2 (see FIG. 119(b)), the display mode at the time of the big win is set (S6136).

In this process, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa by the special figure 2 jackpot type table 272b2 (see FIG. 119(b)), that is, the maximum number of rounds "16R jackpot" that shifts to "time reduction state" after 16 rounds of jackpot, or "8R jackpot" that shifts to "time reduction state" after the maximum number of rounds of 8 rounds, or 4 rounds of maximum number of rounds It is determined whether it is a ``4R jackpot'' in which a shift to a ``time reduction state'' is made after a jackpot. Then, based on the determined big win type, the display mode at the time of the big win in the special symbol display device 39 is set.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of the big win is determined (S6137), a big win flag (not shown) indicating execution of the process related to the big win is turned on (S6138), and the process proceeds to S6141. Specifically, the process of S6137 is based on the display mode (stop type) at the time of the big hit and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa. A performance mode in the pattern display device 81 is selected, and a dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In determining the variation pattern at the time of the big win, first, the stop pattern table 272d (see FIG. 122(a)) to be used is selected according to the stop type of the big win. In the fourteenth embodiment, the D table 272d4 (see FIG. 122(a)) is selected without omission in determining the variation pattern at the time of the big win regardless of the game state and the number of reserved balls.

Then, in the D table 272d4 of the stop pattern table 272d, the effect mode associated with the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is selected (in the fourteenth embodiment, "normal reach" effect mode, "super reach" presentation mode or "special reach" presentation mode).

Then, in the special figure 2 big hit/small hit variation pattern table 272e4, a variation pattern is selected based on the set effect mode and the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa. As a result, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S6135 that it is not a big hit (S6135: No), that is, the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is a losing random value (that is, the set value is "1"). "1300 to 9999" if the setting value is "2", "1302 to 9999" if the setting value is "3", "1304 to 9999" if the setting value is "4" If it is "1306 to 9999" in some cases, "1308 to 9999" if the setting value is "5", and "1310 to 9999" if the setting value is "6"), then: The display mode at the time of losing is set (S6139).

In the process of S6139, the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is set to the display mode corresponding to the missing symbol, and a rough variation pattern (effect mode) is set. Specifically, the setting of the effect mode is based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa, the total value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a and the second reserved ball number counter 273b. , Based on the current gaming state, the effect modes to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 include a "non-reach (long)" effect mode, a "non-reach (short)" effect mode, a "normal reach" effect mode, and a "normal reach" effect mode. Either "super reach" effect mode or "special reach" effect mode is set. In the fourteenth embodiment, depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is the "time reduction state" or the "normal game state", the value range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to each effect mode is The stop pattern table 272d is set differently.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of losing is determined (S6140), and the process proceeds to S6141. In the processing of S6140, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display of the missing symbol is determined. Specifically, in the variation pattern table 272e3 for special figure 2 loss provided for each display mode (production mode) at the time of loss determined in the process of S6139, the variation type counter stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa Select the variation pattern associated with the value of CS1. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

In this way, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the small win, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of the big win, and the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern at the time of losing are combined into the stop pattern table 272d. By using the stop pattern selection counter C3 and the fluctuation type counter CS1 to determine and determine by the same determination program, the program can be shared, and the development man-hours can be reduced at the time of development.

In the processing of S6141, based on the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined by the processing of S6133, S6136 and S6139, the display control device 114 is notified of the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern via the audio lamp control device 113. To set the special figure 2 variation pattern command (S6141). Specifically, for example, if you win the small winning lottery, the small winning is "16R big winning corresponding small winning", and furthermore, the "normal reach" variation pattern of "20 seconds" is selected, A special figure 2 variation pattern command of "normal reach" of small hit, "16R jackpot corresponding small hit", and "20 seconds" is selected. In addition, if the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot is "8R jackpot" and the "normal reach" variation pattern of "20 seconds" is selected, the jackpot, "8R jackpot", and "20 seconds" are selected. A special figure 2 variation pattern command indicating "normal reach" of "is set. In addition, if you lose the jackpot lottery and the "normal reach" variation pattern of "20 seconds" is selected, a special figure 2 variation pattern command indicating the "normal reach" of "20 seconds" is set. be. In this way, even if the variation performance of the second special symbol has the same variation time, by setting together the propriety of the variation performance and the contents of the rough variation pattern in the special figure 2 variation pattern command, the voice lamp control device 113 grasps the content of the production mode including the right or wrong and the fluctuation time, and can determine a more detailed fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation production of the second special symbol based on those information.

After the processing of S6141, the stop type set in the processing of S6134, S6137 or S6140 is set to a special figure 2 stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113 (S6142 ), return to the special figure variation process (see FIG. 128). Specifically, for example, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "16R jackpot", the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "777" etc.) is not specified, and "16R jackpot" is selected. Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a jackpot. Also, if you win a small hit and the content of the small win is "8R jackpot corresponding small win", without specifying the specific third symbol stop mode (for example, "134" etc.), "8R Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a small hit corresponding to the big hit.

On the other hand, if the jackpot or small win is not won and the "super reach" production mode or the "special reach" production mode is selected, a specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "787" etc.) Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a "super reach" production mode or a "special reach" production mode at the time of losing without specifying. In addition, if the jackpot is not won and the "normal reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "737" etc.) is not specified, and the "normal reach" at the time of losing is selected. "Set a special figure 2 stop type command indicating that it is a production mode. Furthermore, if the jackpot is not won and one of the "non-reach" production modes is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "258" etc.) is not specified, and the loss is determined. Set a special figure 2 stop type command that indicates that it is a "non-reach" production mode at the time.

In this way, by setting a rough stop type based on the propriety of the variable effect to the special figure 2 stop type command, the audio lamp control device 113 (display control device 114) grasps the stop type based on propriety Then, it is possible to determine a more detailed stop result of the variation effect of the second special symbol based on those information.

These special figure 2 variation pattern command and special figure 2 stop classification command are stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in RAM273, the processing of S5101 of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) executed next , these commands are sent to the audio lamp controller 113 . When the audio lamp control device 113 receives the special figure 2 variation pattern command and the special figure 2 stop type command, it generates a special figure 2 variation pattern command for display and a display special figure 2 type command based on it, and the display control device 114 Send to

Next, with reference to FIG. 130, when executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S6112), which is one process of the special figure fluctuation process (S5110), will be described. Figure 130 is the flowchart which shows the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S6112). This special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S6112) is based on the values of various counters stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa according to the gaming state, and performs a lottery (jackpot lottery) for a big hit or a loss in the first special symbol. , the dynamic pattern (variation pattern and stop type) of the dynamic display and the variation performance regarding the first special symbol performed by the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81 are determined.

In the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S6112), the MPU 271 first sets the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 for the first special symbol (S6151), and then the jackpot random number stored in the reserved ball execution area 272fa. The value of the counter C1 and the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 (see FIG. 118(a)) set in S6151 are used to determine whether or not the jackpot is won. It does (S6152).

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, it is determined whether or not the game is a big win based on the relationship between the value of the big win random number counter C1 and the set value at that time. That is, in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 that is set based on the set value when the power is turned on, different jackpot random numbers are set for each setting. Specifically, similar to the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2, when the setting value is "1", "0 to 49" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and when the setting value is "2" "0 to 51" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and when the set value is "3", "0 to 53" is defined as the jackpot random number value, and when the set value is "4", "0 to 55 ” is defined as the jackpot random value, and when the set value is “5”, “0 to 57” is defined as the jackpot random value, and when the set value is “6”, “0 to 59” is the jackpot random value. Specified as a number.

In the process of S6152, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is compared with the jackpot random number values defined in these special figure 1 jackpot random number tables 272a1, and if they match , it is determined to be a jackpot. As a result of the process of S6152, when it is determined that it is a jackpot (S6152: Yes), the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa and the special figure 1 jackpot type corresponding to the first special symbol Based on the table 272b1 (see FIG. 119(a)), the display mode at the time of the big win is set (S6153).

In this process, the jackpot type associated with the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa by the special figure 1 jackpot type table 272b1 (see FIG. 119(a)), that is, the maximum number of rounds It is discriminated whether it is a "16R jackpot" that shifts to a "time reduction state" after a jackpot of 16 rounds or a "4R jackpot" that shifts to a "time reduction state" after a jackpot of 4 rounds with the maximum number of rounds. Then, based on the determined big win type, the display mode at the time of the big win in the special symbol display device 39 is set.

Next, a variation pattern at the time of the big win is determined (S6154), a big win flag (not shown) indicating execution of processing related to the big win is turned on (S6155), and the process proceeds to S6158. Specifically, the process of S6154 is based on the display mode (stop type) at the time of the big hit and the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa. A performance mode in the pattern display device 81 is selected, and a dynamic time (variation time) of dynamic display (variation performance) is determined from among the selected performance modes based on the value of the variation type counter CS1. In the fourteenth embodiment, the D table 272d4 (see FIG. 122(a)) is selected without omission in determining the variation pattern at the time of the big win regardless of the game state and the number of reserved balls.

Then, in the D table 272d4 of the stop pattern table 272d, the effect mode associated with the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa is selected (in the fourteenth embodiment, "normal reach" effect mode, "super reach" presentation mode or "special reach" presentation mode).

Then, in the special figure 1 big hit variation pattern table 272e2, a variation pattern is selected in accordance with the set effect mode and the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa. As a result, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S6152 that it is not a big hit (S6152: No), that is, the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa is set to a losing random value (that is, the set value is "1"). "50 to 9999" if the set value is "2", "52 to 9999" if the set value is "3", "54 to 9999" if the set value is "4" If it is "56 to 9999" in some cases, "58 to 9999" if the set value is "5", and "60 to 9999" if the set value is "6"), then: The display mode at the time of losing is set (S6156).

In the process of S6156, the display mode of the special symbol display device 39 is set to the display mode corresponding to the missing symbol, and a rough variation pattern (effect mode) is set. The setting of the effect mode includes the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the reserved ball execution area 273fa, the total value of the first reserved ball number counter 273a and the second reserved ball number counter 273b, and the current game state. Based on, as the production mode to be displayed in the third symbol display device 81, "non-reach (long)" production mode, "non-reach (short)" production mode, "normal reach" production mode, "super reach" production mode , Set one of the "special reach" production modes. In the fourteenth embodiment, depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 10 is the "time reduction state" or the "normal game state", the value range of the stop pattern selection counter C3 corresponding to each effect mode is The stop pattern table 272d is set differently.

Next, the variation pattern at the time of losing is determined (S6157), and the process proceeds to S6158. In the process of S6157, in the special symbol display device 39 and the third symbol display device 81, the fluctuation time until the stop display of the missing symbol is determined. Specifically, in the variation pattern table 272e1 for special figure 1 loss provided for each display mode (production mode) at the time of loss determined in the process of S6156, the variation type counter stored in the holding ball execution area 273fa Select the variation pattern associated with the value of CS1. Then, the variable time is set based on the relationship between the predetermined variation pattern and the variable time.

In this way, the setting processing of the performance mode and the variation pattern at the time of the big win and the setting processing of the performance mode and the variation pattern at the time of losing are determined by the same determination program using the same random numbers C3 and CS1. , the program can be shared, and the number of man-hours required for development can be reduced. Also, the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern in the first special symbol and the setting process of the effect mode and the variation pattern in the second special symbol are determined by the same determination program using the same C3 and CS1. , the program can be shared, and the number of man-hours required for development can be reduced.

In the processing of S6158, based on the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined by the processing of S6154 and S6156, the display control device 114 is notified of the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern via the audio ramp control device 113. The FIG. 1 variation pattern command is set (S6158). Specifically, for example, for example, if you win a jackpot lottery, the jackpot is a "4R jackpot", and a "normal reach" variation pattern of "20 seconds" is selected, the jackpot " A special figure 1 variation pattern command indicating "normal reach" of 4R jackpot" and "20 seconds" is set. In addition, if you lose the jackpot lottery and the "normal reach" variation pattern of "20 seconds" is selected, the special figure 1 variation pattern command indicating the "normal reach" of "20 seconds" is set. be. In this way, even if the variation performance of the first special symbol is the same variation time, by setting the propriety of the variation performance and the contents of the rough variation pattern in the special figure 1 variation pattern command, the voice lamp control device 113 can grasp the content of the production mode including the right or wrong and the fluctuation time, and can determine a more detailed fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation production of the first special symbol based on those information.

After the processing of S6158, the stop type set in the processing of S6153 or S6157, set a special figure 1 stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 via the audio lamp control device 113 (S6159), Return to special figure variation processing (see Figure 128). Specifically, for example, if a jackpot is won and the content of the jackpot is "16R jackpot", the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "777" etc.) is not specified, and "16R jackpot" is selected. Set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a jackpot.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won and the "super reach" production mode or the "special reach" production mode is selected, the specific stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "787" etc.) cannot be specified. Instead, set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a "super reach" production mode or a "special reach" production mode at the time of losing. In addition, if the jackpot is not won and the "normal reach" production mode is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "737" etc.) is not specified, and the "normal reach" at the time of losing is selected. "Set a special figure 1 stop type command indicating that it is a production mode. Furthermore, if the jackpot is not won and one of the "non-reach" production modes is selected, the stop mode of the third symbol (for example, "258" etc.) is not specified, and the loss is determined. Set a special figure 1 stop type command that indicates that it is a "non-reach" production mode at the time.

Thus, by setting a rough stop type based on the propriety of the variable effect to the special figure 1 stop type command, the audio lamp control device 113 (display control device 114) grasps the stop type based on propriety Then, it is possible to determine a more detailed stop result of the variation effect of the first special symbol based on those information.

These special figure 1 variation pattern commands and special figure 1 stop type commands are stored in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in RAM 273, and the processing of S5101 of timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98) to be executed next , these commands are sent to the audio lamp controller 113 . When the audio lamp control device 113 receives the special figure 1 variation pattern command and the special figure 1 stop type command, it generates a special figure 1 variation pattern command for display and a display special figure 1 type command based on it, and the display control device 114 Send to

In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (see FIG. 129) and the special figure 1 variation start processing (see FIG. 130) may be configured to be performed by a common control program. In this case, since the small winning lottery is also performed in the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (see FIG. 130) related to the first special symbol that cannot be won in the small winning, extra processing is performed in the determination processing of the first special symbol. However, it is possible to reduce development man-hours and ROM capacity by standardizing programs.

Next, with reference to FIG. 131, the time saving subtraction process (S6120) which is one process of the special figure variation process (S5110) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110 will be described. FIG. 131 is a flow chart showing the time saving subtraction process (S6120). This time-saving subtraction process (S6120) counts the number of executions of the dynamic display of the first special symbol (variation effect) or (and) the dynamic display of the second special symbol (variation effect) in the "time reduction state", When the specified number of dynamic displays have been performed, the "time reduction state" is terminated.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, as the end condition of the "time shortening state", whether the dynamic display of the second special symbol (variation effect) is executed for the set number of single executions , Either the total number of times the dynamic display of the first special symbol (variable effect) and the dynamic display of the second special symbol (variable effect) is different from the number of single executions, is executed. The "time reduction state" is configured to end when one of the conditions is satisfied.

In the fourteenth embodiment, it is configured so that each execution count is set for each jackpot type in the jackpot end processing (see FIG. 133) described later. Specifically, in the "4R jackpot" in the first special symbol In the case of winning, the dynamic display of the second special symbol (variation effect) is executed once, or the dynamic display of the first special symbol (variation effect) and the dynamic display of the second special symbol ( The "time reduction state" based on the "4R jackpot" of the first special symbol is completed when the total of the variable effect) is executed 10 times. Also, in the jackpot other than the "4R jackpot" in the first special pattern (that is, the "16R jackpot" in the first special pattern, or the "16R jackpot", "8R jackpot" or "4R jackpot" in the second special pattern) In the case of winning, the dynamic display of the second special symbol (variation effect) is executed seven times, or the dynamic display of the first special symbol (variation effect) and the dynamic display of the second special symbol ( When the total of the variable performance) is executed 100 times, the "time abbreviated state” is configured to end.

MPU271, in this time saving subtraction processing (S6120), first, it is determined whether or not the dynamic display (fluctuation effect) of the second special symbol (special figure 2) has ended (S6161). As a result of the determination, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol has ended (S6161: Yes), the value of the special figure 2 time-saving counter (not shown) that counts the number of executions of the second special symbol is subtracted by 1. (S6162), the process proceeds to S6163. On the other hand, if the dynamic display of the second special symbol has not ended (S6161: No), that is, if the dynamic display of the first special symbol has ended, the process of S6162 is skipped, and the special symbol The process proceeds to S6163 without decrementing the value of the two-hour short counter.

In the process of S6163, 1 is subtracted from the value of a total time saving counter (not shown) that counts the total number of executions of both special symbols (S6163), and the process proceeds to S6164. That is, when the dynamic display of the first special symbol is executed, only the value of the total time reduction counter is subtracted by 1, while when the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed, special figure 2 1 is subtracted from the values of the time saving counter and the total time saving counter.

In the process of S6164, it is determined whether the value of the special figure 2 time saving counter is a value greater than "0" (S6164). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the value of the special figure 2 time saving counter is not greater than "0" (S6164: No), that is, if the value of the special figure 2 time saving counter is "0" or less, the second Since the end condition of the "time shortening state" based on the number of execution times of the dynamic display of 2 special symbols is satisfied, the process proceeds to S6165 in order to end the "time shortening state".

On the other hand, in the process of S6164, if it is determined that the value of the special figure 2 time-saving counter is a value greater than "0" (S6164: Yes), based on the number of dynamic display executions of the second special symbol " Since the conditions for ending the "time reduction state" are not satisfied, it is next determined whether or not the value of the total time reduction counter is greater than "0" (S6167). As a result of determination, when it is determined that the value of the total time saving counter is not a value greater than "0" (S6167: No), that is, when the value of the total time saving counter is "0" or less, the second special symbol Although the end condition of the "time shortened state" based on the number of dynamic display executions is not satisfied, the "time shortened state" based on the total number of dynamic display executions of the first special symbol and the second special symbol Since the end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to S6165 to end the "time reduction state".

In the process of S6165, end setting processing (for example, transmission of a time saving end command) is performed to end the "time saving state" (S6165), then both the special figure 2 time saving counter and the total time saving counter are set to "0" It clears (S6166), ends this time saving subtraction process (S6120), and returns to the special figure variation process (see FIG. 128). Here, by clearing both the special figure 2 time-saving counter and the total time-saving counter to "0", even if one of the "time reduction state" end conditions is satisfied, the other "time reduction The counters associated with the termination conditions of state' can be initialized, and then the counting in the time reduction state can be done correctly.

In addition, in the process of S6167, if it is determined that the value of the total time saving counter is a value larger than "0" (S6167: Yes), the total dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol Since the end condition of the "time reduction state" based on the number of executions is not satisfied, the processing of S6165 and S6166 is not performed in order to maintain the "time reduction state", and this time reduction subtraction process (S6120) is terminated, Return to special figure variation processing (see Figure 128).

In this way, by varying the condition (number of times) for ending the "time shortening state" depending on the special symbol to be executed, variations can be provided in the game, and the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, after the end of the jackpot game, a "time shortening state" of a short specified number of times (for example, once) is set, and furthermore, when it is desired to execute the dynamic display of the second special symbol in the "time shortening state", the jackpot is performed. When the number of reserved balls of the first special symbol exists before the game, before establishing the execution condition of the second special symbol (that is, winning the second start port 64b) by driving the normal electric part 64c. The dynamic display of the first special symbol is executed a specified number of times (that is, once), and there is a risk that the "time reduction state" will end due to the execution of the dynamic display of the first special symbol. Therefore, the end condition of the "time shortening state" is changed for each number of times of execution of each special symbol, and before the end condition based on the number of times of dynamic display of the first special symbol is established, the ball is moved to the second starting port 64b. can win (that is, the total number of times the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed is 10 times or more, etc.) to ensure that the second special It is possible to execute the dynamic display of symbols, and to reliably provide the player with the assumed game specifications (for example, the execution of the dynamic display of the second special symbol in the "time shortening state"), can improve the interest of

Next, with reference to FIG. 132, the winning process (S5103), which is one process of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98) executed by the MPU 271 in main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 132 is a flow chart showing this winning process (S5103).

In this winning process (S5103), when a jackpot in a special pattern is won, or a jackpot game is generated based on the detection of the special area switch 208h during a small win game, the type of jackpot (jackpot type) or small hit type The number of times (the number of rounds) of opening the large winning opening 65a is set, and the opening time of the large winning opening 65a is set. Then, in the case of the jackpot state, the large winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 110) for controlling the opening or closing of the large winning opening 65a is executed. Also, at the end of the big win, a big win end process (see FIG. 133) for ending the big win is executed. Furthermore, when a small win of a special symbol occurs, the number of opening times (number of rounds) of the small winning prize opening 72a is set, and the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a is set. Then, in the case of the small winning state, while executing the small winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 134) for controlling the opening or closing of the small winning opening 72a, the detection of the ball in the special area switch 208h is determined. .

In the winning process (S5103), the MPU 271 first determines whether the jackpot flag is turned on (S6201). In the fourteenth embodiment, the jackpot flag is turned on when a jackpot is won in the dynamic display of each special symbol, or when a ball is detected by the special area switch 208h during a small hit game. As a result of the determination, if the jackpot flag is turned on (S6201: Yes), the jackpot flag is set to OFF (S6202), and then, in order to execute control regarding the jackpot game, the winning jackpot type or small hit type The corresponding number of rounds is set in a round counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 (S6203). Then, in order to transmit a jackpot opening command indicating the start of the jackpot to the sound lamp control device 113, the jackpot opening command is set in a ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S6204). A jackpot opening time (for example, "5 seconds") is set (S6205), and the process proceeds to S6210. Thereby, the jackpot opening command is transmitted toward the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process executed next. The round counter described above is set to "0" as an initial value when the power is turned on.

On the other hand, in the process of S6201, when it is determined that the big hit flag is not turned on (S6201: No), next, it is determined whether or not a small hit is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol (S6206 ). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the small hit is won in the dynamic display of the second special symbol (S6206: Yes), first, in order to execute the control related to the won small hit, provided in the RAM 273 "1", which is the number of rounds according to the winning small win, is set in the round counter (not shown) (S6207). Then, in order to transmit the small winning opening command indicating that the small winning is started to the sound lamp control device 113, the small winning opening command is set in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273 (S6208), Then, the opening time of the small hit (for example, "1 second") is set (S6209), and the process proceeds to S6210. Thereby, a small winning opening command is transmitted toward the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process executed next.

With this configuration, the value of the round counter is set according to the winning (obtained) big win or small win, and the number of openings of the big winning mouth 65a or the small winning mouth 72a is set according to the winning combination. At the same time, it is possible to execute an opening effect corresponding to the big win or small win.

Next, in the process of S6210, it is determined whether or not a jackpot game is being executed (S6210). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the big winning game is being executed (S6210: Yes), the big winning opening opening/closing control process for executing the opening/closing control of the big winning opening 65a corresponding to the big winning game is executed (S6211). , the process proceeds to S6212. This big winning opening opening/closing control process (S6211) is the same as the big winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 110) in the thirteenth embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted.

In the process of S6212, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S6212). As a result of the determination, when the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S6212: Yes), in order to continue the jackpot game, the process of S6213 is skipped, and this winning process (S5103) is performed once. End and return to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98). On the other hand, if the value of the round counter is not greater than "0" (S6212: No), that is, if the value of the round counter is equal to or less than "0", a jackpot ending process is executed to end the jackpot game. (S6213), the winning process (S5103) is terminated, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 98).

Here, with reference to FIG. 133, the jackpot ending process (S6213), which is one process of the winning process (see FIG. 132) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 133 is a flow chart showing this jackpot ending process (S6213).

In the jackpot end processing (S6213) of the 14th embodiment, based on the jackpot type (small hit type) that generated the jackpot game, the termination condition of the "time shortening state" executed after the jackpot game ends is set.

The MPU 271, in this jackpot end processing (S6213), first determines whether or not it was a jackpot game by dynamic display of the first special symbol (S6221). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that it was a jackpot game by dynamic display of the first special symbol (S6221: Yes), then it is determined whether or not the jackpot type of the jackpot game was "4R jackpot" ( S6222). As a result of the determination, when it is determined that it is a "4R jackpot" (S6222: Yes), in order to set a short "time reduction state" disadvantageous to the player, the value of the special figure 2 time reduction counter is set to "1". is set (S6223), "10" is set to the value of the total time saving counter (S6224), and the process proceeds to S6227.

On the other hand, in the process of S6221, when it is determined that it is not a jackpot game by dynamic display of the first special symbol (S6221: No), that is, it is determined to be a jackpot game by dynamic display of the second special symbol. case, or if it is determined that it is not a "4R jackpot" even if it is a jackpot game by dynamic display of the first special symbol (S6222: No), that is, "16R jackpot" in the dynamic display of the first special symbol ”, in order to set a long “time reduction state” advantageous to the player, the value of the special figure 2 time reduction counter is set to “7” (S6225), and the value of the total time reduction counter is set to “ 100" is set (S6226), and the process proceeds to S6227.

In this way, by generating "time shortening states" with different degrees of advantage based on the jackpot type or small hit type of the special symbols won, it is possible to enrich the variation of the game and improve the amusement of the game.

In the process of S6227, in order to end the big win, first, an ending command indicating the start of the ending effect of the big win is set to the sound lamp control device 113 (S6227). Then, a jackpot end setting process for setting an ending time and the like is performed (S6228), the jackpot end process (S6213) is ended, and the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 132). The ending command set in the process of S6227 is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and is output during the external output process (see S5101 in FIG. , and is transmitted to the audio lamp controller 113 .

Returning to FIG. 132, the description continues. In the processing of S6210, if it is determined that the jackpot is not in progress (S6210: No), then it is determined whether or not the small winning game is being executed (S6214). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the small winning game is being executed (S6214: Yes), the small winning opening opening/closing control process for executing the opening/closing control of the small winning opening 72a corresponding to the small winning game is executed ( S6215).

Here, with reference to FIG. 134, the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215), which is one process of the winning process (see FIG. 133) executed by the MPU 271 in the main controller 110, will be described. FIG. 134 is a flow chart showing the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215).

In this small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215), a round counter and a winning counter which are also used for control at the time of the big win are set and discriminated, opening and closing control of the small winning opening 72a is executed, and the special area switch 208h is detected and determined. to determine whether or not a big winning game based on the small winning game occurs.

The MPU 271 first determines whether or not the small winning opening 72a is open in the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215) (S6231). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the small winning opening 72a is not opened (S6231: No), then it is determined whether or not the small winning opening time set in the winning process (see FIG. 133) has elapsed. It is determined (S6232). As a result of the determination, if the opening time of the small winning has passed (S6232: Yes), in order to start one round in the small winning game, small winning opening opening setting processing for opening the small winning opening 72a is executed ( S6233), then "1" is set to the value of a winning counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 273 (S6234). Then, an opening time setting for setting the maximum opening time (that is, "1.8 seconds") of the small winning opening 72a is performed (S6235), and a small opening command indicating that the small winning opening 72a has been opened is provided in the RAM 273. is set in the received command transmission ring buffer (S6236), and the process proceeds to S6237. As a result, the small open command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 by the external output process (S5101) of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

On the other hand, in the process of S6231, if the opening time for the small winning has not passed (S6231: No), it is during the opening time for the small winning, so the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215) is terminated and the winning Return to the process (see FIG. 133).

In addition, in the processing of S6231, if it is determined that the small winning opening 72a is open (S6231: Yes), S6232 to S6236, which are controls related to the opening of the small winning opening 72a, are not performed, and the process proceeds to S6237. Transition.

In the process of S6237, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the small winning opening 72a set in S6235 has passed (S6237). As a result of determination, if it is the timing when the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a has passed (S6237: Yes), one closing condition of the small winning prize opening 72a is established, and it is the closing timing of the small winning prize opening 72a in the round. , the winning counter value is cleared to "0" (S6238), and the process proceeds to S6244. The closing processing of the small winning opening 72a from S6244 will be described later.

On the other hand, in the processing of S6237, if it is not the timing when the opening time of the small winning prize opening 72a has passed (S6237: No), the closing timing of the small winning prize opening 72a has not come, so the opening of the small winning prize opening 72a is maintained. First, it is determined whether or not a ball has been detected by the special area switch 208h (S6239).

In the processing of S6239, if it is determined that the ball is detected by the special area switch 208h (S6239: Yes), since it is a winning prize to the special area switch 208h during the small hit game (that is, two types), the In order to execute a jackpot game based on winning, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S6240), and the process proceeds to S6241. On the other hand, in the process of S6239, if the ball is not detected by the special area switch 208h (S6239: No), the process of S6240 is skipped and the process proceeds to S6241.

In the processing of S6241, it is determined whether or not a ball has been detected by a small winning opening switch (not shown) for detecting the ball flowing into the small winning opening 72a, that is, whether or not the ball has entered the small winning opening 72a. (S6241). As a result of determination, if the ball is detected by the small winning hole switch (S6241: Yes), that is, if the ball has won the small winning hole 72a, the value of the winning counter is subtracted by 1 (S6242), and then , 1 is subtracted from the winning counter value is greater than "0" (S6243). As a result of determination, if the value of the winning counter is not greater than "0" (S6243: No), that is, if the value of the winning counter is less than or equal to "0", one ball wins the small winning opening 72a. Since one closing condition for the small winning opening 72a is satisfied, the process proceeds to S6244 in order to close the small winning opening 72a.

On the other hand, in the process of S6241, if the ball is not detected by the small winning hole switch (not shown) (S6241: No), that is, if the ball has not won the small winning hole 72a, or the process of S6243 , if it is determined that the value of the winning counter is greater than "0" (S6243: Yes), the conditions for closing the small winning opening 72a are not met, so the open state of the small winning opening 72a is maintained. Therefore, the processing of S6244 to S6246 is not performed, and the small winning opening opening/closing control processing (S6215) is terminated. After the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215) ends, the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 133).

In this way, the round counter and the winning counter used to control the opening and closing of the large winning opening 65a in the big winning game are also used to control the opening and closing of the small winning opening 72a in the small winning game, and the program for controlling the opening and closing of the large winning opening 65a. By making the program for controlling the opening and closing of the small winning opening 72a similar, the program can be shared, the number of man-hours for development can be reduced, and the ROM capacity can be reduced.

In the closing process of the small winning opening 72a from S6244, first, the small winning opening closing setting process for closing the small winning opening 72a is executed (S6244). A small close command indicating that it is closed is set (S6245), and the process proceeds to S6246. The small close command set here is stored in the ring buffer for command transmission provided in the RAM 273, and is output by voice during the external output processing (see S5101 in FIG. 98) of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next. It is sent to the lamp control device 113 .

Next, in the process of S6246, since one round of the small winning opening 72a has been completed, 1 is subtracted from the value of the round counter (S6246), and the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215) is terminated. After the small winning opening opening/closing control process (S6215) ends, the process returns to the winning process (see FIG. 133).

Returning to FIG. 133, the description continues. After completion of the small winning opening opening/closing control process of S6215, it is then determined whether or not the value of the round counter is greater than "0" (S6216). As a result of determination, when the value of the round counter is a value greater than "0" (S6216: Yes), in order to continue the small winning game, the processing of S6217 is skipped, and this winning processing is performed once (S5103). and return to timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

On the other hand, in the process of S6216, if the value of the round counter is not a value greater than "0" (S6216: No), that is, if the value of the round counter is less than or equal to "0", in order to end the small winning game, Setting of a small ending command indicating the start of the ending effect of a small winning to the sound lamp control device 113, small winning end processing for setting the ending time, etc. is executed (S6217), and this winning processing (S5103) is completed. , returns to the timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 98).

Thus, in the winning process (see FIG. 133), the large winning opening opening/closing control process (see FIG. 110) for controlling the opening/closing of the large winning opening 65a and the small winning opening opening/closing control process for controlling the opening/closing of the small winning opening 72a are performed. (see FIG. 134), the MPU 271 in the main control device 110 can manage the execution of the big winning game and the small winning game, and various states at the time of the big win accompanying the process of opening and closing the big winning mouth 65a at the time of the big win And various states at the time of the small win associated with the process of opening and closing the small winning opening 72a at the time of the small win can be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113. Also, in the winning process (see FIG. 133), by setting the specified number of "time reduction state" after the end of the jackpot by the jackpot end processing (see FIG. 133), different for each jackpot type (small hit type) To create amusement, enrich the variation of the game, and improve the amusement of the game.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the increment of the jackpot random number associated with the setting change of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is While compensating for the numbers of the respective missing random numbers of the symbols, it is configured so as to be within the range of the number of the missing random numbers. Furthermore, in each special symbol, the number of random numbers other than the big winning random number and the losing random number (that is, the small winning random number in the second special symbol) is configured not to change. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increment of the jackpot random number value, thereby suppressing an increase in the number of man-hours when designing the game specifications. be able to.

In addition, for each special symbol, the increased amount of the jackpot random number due to the setting change is compensated from the combination of the most random numbers other than the jackpot random number in the jackpot random number counter C1 (that is, both random numbers are lost). Configure. With this configuration, it is possible to make it difficult to determine the setting based on the number of appearances of the losing combination, which is the most common combination. Therefore, the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 can be made difficult to be detected by setting only the appearance rate of the big win having a lower appearance probability than the losing combination as the determining element set by the player. As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value 1 or the like), the game can be continued without letting the player see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

Further, the increment of the jackpot random number value associated with the setting change is compensated by the losing random number value corresponding to the losing combination that gives no game value to the player in the jackpot random number counter C1.

A losing combination is a combination that does not give a game value, unlike a jackpot combination or a small winning combination, and is therefore not clearly (largely) displayed on a data lamp (not shown) provided for each pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加be. Here, if the small winning random number value corresponding to the small winning game clearly (largely) recorded in the data lamp is changed for each setting, the player confirms the appearance rate of the small winning game with the data lamp. By doing so, the number of setting determination elements of the pachinko machine 10 increases. As a result, for example, when the player sees through the setting of the pachinko machine 10 set to a low setting (for example, set value "1"), the player does not play the game with the pachinko machine 10 and pachinko. There is a possibility that the operation of the machine 10 will be lowered.

Therefore, the increment of the jackpot random number due to the setting change is compensated by the losing random number corresponding to the losing hand not counted by the data lamp without imparting the game value to the player in the jackpot random number counter C1. By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult for the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 to be detected by setting only the appearance ratio of the big win as the setting determination element by the player. Therefore, for example, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value "1" or the like), the game can be continued without allowing the player to see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fourteenth embodiment, the increase in the jackpot random number value associated with the setting change is set to the lottery table (that is, the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2) for any special symbol. However, it is configured to compensate from the assigned losing role. Here, when supplementing the big hit random number due to the setting change from the combination assigned only to one lottery table (for example, the small hit random number in the second special symbol), the calculation of the ball output rate in each special symbol is Since they are different, the calculation becomes complicated, and the number of man-hours in designing the game specifications increases. Therefore, by compensating for the increase in the jackpot random number value from the combination that exists in each special symbol (that is, the losing combination), it is possible to share part of the calculation of the ball output rate in each special symbol, It is possible to suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

<Fifteenth embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 135, the pachinko machine 10 in the fifteenth embodiment will be described.

The pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment changes (increases) the number of jackpot random numbers for generating a jackpot game in which the game value can be obtained most efficiently in time for each set value, and the change (increase) is It was configured to compensate from the number of unsuccessful random numbers to which no value was assigned.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fifteenth embodiment, although the time efficiency is not as good as that of the big winning game, the number of small winning random numbers for generating the small winning game that gives the game value to the player is changed for each set value. (increase), and the amount of change (increase) is compensated from the number of false random numbers. When trying to obtain a game value equivalent to that of one big winning game, the small winning game obtains a game value equivalent to that of the big winning game unless many small winning games are won over a longer period of time than the big winning game. I can't. Therefore, by providing a setting difference in the number of small winning random numbers for generating a small winning game, it is difficult to determine the setting unless the game is played for a long time and many small winning games are won. be able to. Therefore, by making the game specification that is difficult unless the game is played for a long time as the setting determination element by the player, it is possible to make it difficult for the set value to be seen through in the short-time game on the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value 1 or the like), it is difficult for the player to perceive the setting, and the game can be continued, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the fifteenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fourteenth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the fifteenth embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the first to fourteenth embodiments are used for the same configurations and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fourteenth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

Details of the jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol in the fifteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 135(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 135(b) is a special figure 2 jackpot random number table stored in the ROM 272 272a2 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of 272a2. FIG.

The special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the fifteenth embodiment are, for each set value, respectively, a low probability state used when the game state is a special symbol low probability state, The game state is divided into two types, one for a high probability state used in the case of a high probability state with special symbols having a higher probability of winning a big hit than the low probability state with special symbols.

Then, in each setting value, the number of small winning random number values included in the low probability state and the high probability state is changed, and the number of small winning random number values is different for each setting value in each game state. is set to In addition, the increase in the number of small winning random number values for each set value and each game state is compensated from the number of losing random number values corresponding to the losing. In this way, by varying the number of small winning random numbers, the probability of winning a small winning is changed for each set value and each game state.

On the other hand, each set value is set so that the number of jackpot random numbers included in each of the low probability state and the high probability state is the same. Although the number of big hit random numbers varies depending on the game state, by setting the same for each set value, the game value imparting ratio considering only the big win game at all set values becomes equal.

As shown in FIG. 135(a), in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 of the fifteenth embodiment, when the setting value is "1", the jackpot random number that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 The number of counter C1 values (jackpot random number) is 50, and the value "0 to 49" is specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "1" is 50/10000 = 0.5/100 (that is, 0.5 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 500, and the value "0 to 499" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" or the "probability fluctuation state") is 500/10000 = 5/100 ( That is, 5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

In addition, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that are small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are both 100, low The value "50 to 149" in the case of the probability state or the value "500 to 599" in the case of the high probability state is specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9850 pieces, the value "150 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9400 numbers other than the big hit random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "600 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9850/10000=98.5/100. (that is, 98.5%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9400 /10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increment of the small winning random number value, and suppress the increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications. can do.

In addition, when trying to obtain a game value equivalent to one big winning game, the small winning game has a gaming value equivalent to the big winning game unless many small winning games are won over a longer time than the big winning game. can't get Therefore, by providing a small winning random value for generating a small winning game with a portion where a setting difference occurs, it is possible to make it difficult to determine the setting unless a lot of small winning games are won after playing the game for a long time. can. Therefore, by making the game specification that is difficult unless the game is played for a long time as the setting determination element by the player, it is possible to make it difficult for the set value to be seen through in the short-time game on the pachinko machine 10. - 特許庁As a result, even if the setting is low (that is, setting value 1 or the like), the game can be continued without letting the player see through the setting, and the operation of the pachinko machine 10 can be promoted.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the fifteenth embodiment, an increase in the small winning random number value associated with the setting change is compensated from the losing random number value corresponding to the losing combination that does not give the player a game value in the big winning random number counter C1. configured to

A losing combination is a combination that does not give a game value, unlike a jackpot combination or a small winning combination, and is therefore not clearly (largely) displayed on a data lamp (not shown) provided for each pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加be. Here, if the jackpot random number value corresponding to the jackpot game that is clearly (extensively) recorded on the data lamp is changed for each setting, the player can confirm the appearance rate of the jackpot game with the data lamp. , the setting determination elements of the pachinko machine 10 increase. As a result, for example, when the player sees through the setting of the pachinko machine 10 set to a low setting (for example, set value "1"), the player does not play the game with the pachinko machine 10 and pachinko. There is a possibility that the operation of the machine 10 will be lowered.

Therefore, the increment of the small winning random number value associated with the setting change is set to the losing random number counter C1 that does not give the game value to the player and that corresponds to the losing combination that is not clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp. By compensating from the numerical value, it is possible to make the setting value of the pachinko machine 10 hard to be seen through by setting only the appearance ratio of the small win as the setting determination element by the player. Therefore, by limiting the discriminating element of the setting, for example, even if the setting is low (that is, the set value is "1", etc.), the player is not allowed to see through the setting and the pachinko machine 10 continues the game. It can promote operation.

<Sixteenth Embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 136, the pachinko machine 10 in the sixteenth embodiment will be described.

The pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment changes (increases) the jackpot random number value for generating a jackpot game in which the game value can be obtained most efficiently with time for each set value, and the change (increase) is used to increase the game value. It was configured to compensate from the missing random value that is not assigned.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the 16th embodiment, the big hit random number value and the small win random number value that can give a game value are changed (increased) for each set value, and the change (increase) is determined as a loss. Configure to fill from random values. Also, if the increment of the big hit random number value and the small hit random number value for each set value is increased for each set value in the combination of 1 (that is, either the big hit game or the small hit game) (that is, In the case of the thirteenth embodiment and the fifteenth embodiment, etc.), it is configured to have a lower rate of increase. By configuring in this way, the setting difference in the appearance rate of one combination for each set value is reduced, and the game can be played only with the appearance rate of one combination (that is, the big winning game or the small winning game) that gives the game value. It is possible to make it difficult for a person to perceive the setting and promote the operation of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

The pachinko machine 10 according to the sixteenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the points that differ from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to fifteenth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the sixteenth embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the first to fifteenth embodiments are used for the same configurations and processes as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to fifteenth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

Details of the jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol in the sixteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 136(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 136(b) is a special figure 2 jackpot random number table stored in the ROM 272. 272a2 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of 272a2. FIG.

The special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the 16th embodiment have a low probability of special symbols in which the game state is "normal game state" or "time reduction state" for each set value. For the low probability state used in the case of the state (period that is not "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), and for the special design with a high probability that the game state will be a jackpot from the low probability state of the special design It is divided into two types each, one for high-probability state used in the case of "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state" which is a probability state.

Then, in each setting value, the number of the big winning random number value and the small winning random number value included in the low probability state and the high probability state are changed, and the number of the big winning random value and the small winning random value for each setting are set differently. In addition, an increase in the number of large-hit random numbers and small-hit random numbers for each set value and each game state is compensated for by the number of losing random numbers corresponding to losing. In this way, by varying the numbers of the big win random numbers and the numbers of the small win random numbers, the probabilities of big wins and small wins are changed for each set value and each game state.

As shown in FIG. 136 (a), in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 of the 16th embodiment, when the setting value is "1", the jackpot random number that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 The number of values of the counter C1 (random number value for jackpot) is 50, and the value "0 to 49" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 random number table 272a1 for jackpot. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "1" is 50/10000 = 0.5/100 (that is, 0.5 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 500, and the value "0 to 499" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" or the "probability fluctuation state") is 500/10000 = 5/100 ( That is, 5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

In addition, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that are small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are both 100, low The value "50 to 149" in the case of the probability state or the value "500 to 599" in the case of the high probability state is specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9850 pieces, the value "150 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9400 numbers other than the big hit random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "600 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9850/10000=98.5/100. (that is, 98.5%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9400 /10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

That is, at the set value "1", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the number of jackpot random numbers increased from the low probability state to the high probability state is within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'' (that is, 9850 or less). is configured as

That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "2" of the first special symbol is 51/10000 = 0.51/100 (that is, 0.51 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 510, and the value "0 to 509" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "2" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 510/10000=5.1/ 100 (that is, 5.1%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low probability state.

(that is, 5.42%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 20 /10000=0.2/100 (that is, 0.2%).

That is, at the set value "5", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, It is configured to make up for the decrease. In addition, the increase in the number of large-hit random numbers due to the setting change is compensated for by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'', while the small-hit random number due to the setting change is compensated for. The increase in the number of is also configured to compensate for the decrease by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state", and further, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the setting value change The number of large-hit random numbers and the number of small-hit random numbers that accompany the increase are configured to be within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" (that is, 542 or less).

Therefore, the set value "5" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has a slightly improved jackpot probability compared to the set value "4" (low probability state: 0.53% → 0.54%, high Probability state: 5.3% → 5.4%), and the small hit probability is slightly improved (low probability state: 94.03% → 94.04%, high probability state: 94.3% → 94.0%). 4%), it can be said that this is a setting in which the big winning game and the small winning game are more likely to occur than in the case of the set value "4" in any gaming state.

Next, when the set value is "6", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 55, and the value "0 to 54" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "6" is 55/10000 = 0.55/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.55%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that become a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 550, like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 549" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 550 like the first special symbol. /10000=5.5/100 (that is, 5.5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Also, when the set value is "6", the number of values (small hit random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a small hit in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9405, and the value "55 ~ 9459" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small winning probability of the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol of the set value "6" (that is, "normal game state") is 9405/10000=94.05/100 (that is, 94.05/100). 05%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9450, and the value "550 to 9999 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9450/10000 = 94.5 /100 (that is, 94.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be about 1.005 times easier to get a small hit from the low probability state.

Therefore, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 540 pieces, the value "9460 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is 0 remaining other than the jackpot random number and the small hit random number, and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is set to the losing random number. The corresponding value is not stored, that is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, the "normal game state" or the "time reduction state") is 540. / 10000 = 5.4 / 100 (that is, 5.4%) is set to be the second special symbol high probability state (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") The probability of losing the special symbol is set to 0/10000=0/100 (that is, 0%), and is configured so that the losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "6", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, It is configured to make up for the decrease. In addition, the increase in the number of large-hit random numbers due to the setting change is compensated for by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'', while the small-hit random number due to the setting change is compensated for. The increase in the number of is also configured to compensate for the decrease by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state", and further, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the setting value change The number of large-hit random numbers and the number of small-hit random numbers that accompany the increase are configured to be within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" (that is, 540 or less).

Therefore, the set value "6" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has a slightly improved jackpot probability compared to the set value "5" (low probability state: 0.54% → 0.55%, high Probability state: 5.4% → 5.5%), and the small hit probability is slightly improved (low probability state: 94.04% → 94.05%, high probability state: 94.4% → 94.0%). 5%), it can be said that the setting is such that the big winning game and the small winning game are more likely to occur than in the case of the set value "5" in any gaming state.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the 16th embodiment, the big hit random number value and the small hit random number value that can give the game value are changed (increased) for each set value, and the change (increase) is configured so as to be compensated from the missing random value. Also, if the increment of the big hit random number value and the small hit random number value for each set value is increased for each set value in the combination of 1 (that is, either the big hit game or the small hit game) (that is, In the case of the thirteenth embodiment, the fifteenth embodiment, etc.), it is configured to have a lower rate of increase. By configuring in this way, the setting difference in the appearance rate of one combination for each set value is reduced, and the game can be played only with the appearance rate of one combination (that is, the big winning game or the small winning game) that gives the game value. It is possible to make it difficult for a person to perceive the setting and promote the operation of the pachinko machine 10.例文帳に追加

<Seventeenth Embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 137, the pachinko machine 10 in the seventeenth embodiment will be described.

The pachinko machine 10 of the thirteenth embodiment is configured to change (increase) the jackpot random number value for generating the jackpot game, and compensate for the change (increase) only from the losing random number value.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the seventeenth embodiment, when the set value is increased to increase the jackpot random number value corresponding to the jackpot game most advantageous to the player, first, the combination with the lowest game value (that is, If the set value is increased, the random number corresponding to the lowest combination becomes insufficient (decreases), the next combination with the lowest playing value (That is, it is configured so as to compensate from a random value corresponding to a small winning combination (that is, a small winning random value). By configuring in this way, it is possible to compensate for the increase in the jackpot random number due to the setting change from each random number, so that the random number of 1 (for example, only the losing random number) must be compensated. Restrictions in designing game specifications are eliminated, and an increase in the degree of advantage associated with setting changes can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in designing game specifications and suppress an increase in the number of development man-hours, while realizing game specifications with a variety of intonations due to setting differences.

The pachinko machine 10 according to the seventeenth embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first to sixteenth embodiments. In the following description of the pachinko machine 10 of the seventeenth embodiment, the same configuration and processing as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first to sixteenth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first to sixteenth embodiments. , and its illustration and description are omitted.

Details of the jackpot random number table 272a corresponding to each special symbol in the seventeenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 137(a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 stored in the ROM 272, and FIG. 137(b) is a special figure 2 jackpot random number table stored in the ROM 272. 272a2 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of 272a2. FIG.

The special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the seventeenth embodiment have a low probability of special symbols in which the game state is "normal game state" or "time reduction state" for each set value. For the low probability state used in the case of the state (period that is not "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state"), and for the special design with a high probability that the game state will be a jackpot from the low probability state of the special design It is divided into two types each, one for high-probability state used in the case of "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state" which is a probability state.

Then, in each set value in a predetermined special symbol (second special symbol in the 17th embodiment), up to a predetermined set value (set value "3" in the 17th embodiment), the number of jackpot random numbers Only a set difference is provided, and at a set value greater than the predetermined set value (in the 17th embodiment, set value "4" or more), a set difference is provided for the number of large hit random numbers and small hit random numbers. On the other hand, in each setting value of the other special symbol (the first special symbol in the 17th embodiment), while the number of small winning random numbers is the same in all settings, there is a setting difference only in the number of big winning random numbers. configured as follows.

Specifically, in the second special symbol, up to the predetermined set value, only the number of big hit random numbers is increased and only the number of losing random numbers is decreased along with the increase. With a large set value, the number of large-hit random numbers is increased, and with the increase, the number of small-hit random numbers and the number of losing random numbers are decreased. Therefore, unlike the first special symbol, the second special symbol is an increase in the number of jackpot random numbers for each set value and for each game state, up to a predetermined set value. Compensation is made from the number, and at a set value larger than a predetermined set value at which no losing random number exists, compensation is made from the number of small winning random numbers corresponding to the small winning combination. In this way, by varying the number of large-hit random numbers and the number of small-hit random numbers for each setting, the probabilities of big and small winnings are changed for each set value and each game state.

As shown in FIG. 137(a), in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 of the 17th embodiment, when the setting value is "1", the jackpot random number that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 The number of counter C1 values (jackpot random number) is 50, and the value "0 to 49" is specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "1" is 50/10000 = 0.5/100 (that is, 0.5 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 500, and the value "0 to 499" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" or the "probability fluctuation state") is 500/10000 = 5/100 ( That is, 5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

In addition, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that are small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are both 100, low The value "50 to 149" in the case of the probability state, or the value "500 to 599" in the case of the high probability state is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "1" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that are lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9850 pieces, the value "150 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9400 numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "600 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "1" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9850/10000=98.5/100. (that is, 98.5%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9400 /10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

That is, at the set value "1", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of the special figure 1 is reduced, and the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game is reduced. While compensating for the decrease, the number of jackpot random numbers increased from the low probability state to the high probability state is within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'' (that is, 9850 or less). is configured as

Next, when the set value is "2", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 55, and the value "0 to 54 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "2" of the first special symbol is 55/10000 = 0.55/100 (that is, 0.55 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 520, and the value "0 to 549" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "2" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 550/10000=5.5/ 100 (that is, 5.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low probability state.

Also, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is set to "1". As in the case, both are 100, the value "55 to 154" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "550 to 649" in the case of a high probability state are specified (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 It is That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "2" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9845 pieces, the value "155 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9350 numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "650 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "2" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9845/10000=98.45/100. (that is, 98.45%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9350 /10000=93.5/100 (that is, 93.5%).

That is, at the set value "2", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 9848 or less).

Therefore, the set value "2" in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "1" (both 1%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.5%→0.55%, high probability state: 5%→5.5%).

Next, when the set value is "3", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 60, and the value "0 to 59 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, the "normal game state") is 60/10000=0.6/100 (that is, 0.6 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that become a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 600, and the value "0 to 599" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, the "super-probability fluctuation state" or the "probability fluctuation state") is 600/10000 = 6/100 ( That is, 6%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

In addition, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are the set value "1" and As in the case of the set value “2”, both are 100, the value “60 to 159” in the case of a low probability state, or the value “600 to 699” in the case of a high probability state is the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "3" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

Therefore, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9840 pieces, the value "160 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9300 numbers other than the big hit random numbers and the small hit random numbers, and the value "700 to 9999" It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9840/10000=98.4/100. (that is, 98.4%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9300 /10000=93/100 (that is, 93%).

That is, at the set value "3", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced, and the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game is reduced. While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 9846 or less).

Therefore, the set value "3" in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "2" (both 1%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.55%→0.6%, high probability state: 5.5%→6%).

Next, when the set value is "4", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 65, and the value "0 to 64 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the first special symbol with the set value "4" is 65/10000=0.65/100 (that is, 0.65 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 650, and the value "0 to 649" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 650/10000=6.5/ 100 (that is, 6.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low probability state.

Also, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the set value "1" ~ As in the case of "3", both are 100, and the value "65 to 164" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "650 to 749" in the case of a high probability state is in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. It is specified (set). That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "4" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

Therefore, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that are lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 are the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9835 pieces, the value "165 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9250 numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "750 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 9835/10000=98.35/100. (that is, 98.35%), the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9250 /10000=92.5/100 (that is, 92.5%).

That is, at the set value "4", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced, and the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game is reduced. While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 9844 or less).

Therefore, the set value "4" in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "3" (both 1%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.6%→0.65%, High probability state: 6%→6.5%).

Next, when the set value is "5", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 70, and the value "0 to 69 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the first special symbol with the set value "5" is 70/10000=0.7/100 (that is, 0.7 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 700, and the value "0 to 699" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "5" (that is, the "super probability variation state" or the "probability variation state") is 700/10000 = 7/100 ( That is, 7%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Also, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the set value "1" ~ As in the case of "4", both are 100, and the value "70 to 169" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "700 to 799" in the case of a high probability state is in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. It is specified (set). In other words, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "5" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9830 pieces, the value "170 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9200 numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers, and the value "800 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "5" (that is, the "normal game state" or the "time reduction state") is 9830/10000=98.3/100. (that is, 98.3%), and the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9200 /10000=92/100 (that is, 92%).

That is, at the set value "5", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 9842 or less).

Therefore, the set value "5" in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "4" (both 1%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.65%→0.7%, high probability state: 6.5%→7%).

Next, when the set value is "6", the number of values (jackpot random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 75, and the value "0 to 74 ” is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "6" is 75/10000=0.75/100 (that is, 0.75 %).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that will be a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is 750, and the value "0 to 749" is , It is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the jackpot probability of the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 750/10000=7.5/ 100 (that is, 7.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be ten times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low probability state.

Also, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the set value "1" ~ As in the case of "5", both are 100, and the value "75 to 174" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "750 to 849" in the case of a high probability state is in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. It is specified (set). That is, the small hit probability in the first special symbol with the set value "6" is 100/10000=1/100 (that is, 1%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 9825 pieces, the value "175 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 9150 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "850 to 9999" is the special figure. It is defined (set) in the 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. That is, the probability of losing the first special symbol in the low probability state of the first special symbol with the setting value "6" (that is, the "normal game state" or the "time reduction state") is 9825/10000=98.25/100. (that is, 98.25%), the probability of losing the first special symbol in the high probability state of the first special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9150 /10000=91.5/100 (that is, 91.5%).

That is, at the set value "6", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 1 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 9840 or less).

Therefore, the set value "6" in the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "5" (both 1%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.7%→0.75%, high probability state: 7%→7.5%).

Next, as shown in FIG. 137(b), in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 of the 17th embodiment, when the setting value is "1", it is a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. The number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 (jackpot random number value) is 50 like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1, and the value "0 to 49" is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. It is That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, the "normal game state") of the set value "1" is 50/10000 = 0.5/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.5%).

Also, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that will be a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 500, like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 499" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "1" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 500 like the first special symbol. /10000=5/100 (that is, 5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times easier than the low probability state.

Here, if the set value is "1", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 are both 9400, The value "50 to 9449" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "500 to 9899" in the case of a high probability state is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "1" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "1", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 550 pieces, the value "9450 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 100 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "9900 to 9999" is a special figure. It is defined (set) in the 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "1" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 550/10000=5.5/100. (that is, 5.5%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high-probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 100 /10000=1/100 (that is, 1%).

That is, at the set value "1", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of the special figure 2 is reduced, and the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game is reduced. While compensating for the decrease, the number of jackpot random numbers increased from the low probability state to the high probability state is within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the ``normal game state'' (that is, 550 or less). is configured as

In this way, the small hit probability of the second special symbol at the set value "1" is significantly higher than the small hit probability of the first special symbol (1% → 94%), and the loss in the second special symbol It is set to a number that is extremely easy to select even compared to random numbers. That is, in the lottery game in the second special symbol, it is set to make it easier to win a small win than a big win or a loss.

Next, when the set value is "2", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 55, and the value "0 to 54" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "2" is 55/10000 = 0.55/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.55%).

In addition, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that become a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 550 like the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 549" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol high probability state (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") of the set value "2" is 550, like the first special symbol. /10000=5.5/100 (that is, 5.5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Here, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that are small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the set value "1" As in the case of , both are 9400, and the value "55 to 9454" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "550 to 9949" in the case of a high probability state are defined in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 (set ). That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "2" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same between the states.

Therefore, when the set value is "2", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. At 545, the value "9455 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the remaining 50 random numbers other than the big hit random number and the small hit random number, and the value "9950 to 9999" It is defined (set) in the 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "2" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 545/10000=5.45/100. (that is, 5.45%), the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 50 /10000=0.5/100 (that is, 0.5%).

That is, at the set value "2", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 545 or less).

Therefore, the set value "2" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "1" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.5%→0.55%, high probability state: 5%→5.5%).

Next, when the set value is "3", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 60 pieces, and the value "0 to 59" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "3" is 60/10000 = 0.6/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.6%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 600, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 599" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 600, like the first special symbol. /10000=6/100 (that is, 6%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times easier than the low probability state.

Here, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that will be small hits in the low probability state and high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the set value "1" And as in the case of "2", both are 9400, the value "60 to 9459" in the case of a low probability state, or the value "600 to 9999" in the case of a high probability state is the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is stipulated (set) in That is, the small hit probability in the second special symbol with the set value "3" is 9400/10000=94/100 (that is, 94%) in any game state, and the special symbol low probability state and high probability It is set so that the probability of winning a small hit is the same in the state.

Therefore, when the set value is "3", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 540 pieces, the value "9460 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is 0 remaining other than the jackpot random number and the small hit random number, and the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is set to the losing random number. No corresponding value is stored. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "3" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 540/10000=5.4/100. (that is, 5.4%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 0 /10000=0/100 (that is, 0%), and is configured so that a losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "3", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, While compensating for the decrease, the increase from the low probability state to the high probability state and the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase due to the change of the set value are within the range of the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state". (that is, 540 or less).

Therefore, the set value "3" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has the same small hit probability as the set value "2" (both 94%), but the jackpot probability is slightly improved (low Probability state: 0.55%→0.6%, High probability state: 5.5%→6%).

Next, when the set value is "4", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 65, and the value "0 to 64" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "4" is 65/10000 = 0.65/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.65%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 650, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 649" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol high probability state (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") of the set value "4" is 650, like the first special symbol. /10000=6.5/100 (that is, 6.5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Here, when the set value is "4", the number of values (small hit random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a small hit in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9400, and the value " 65 to 9464” is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability of the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol of the set value "4" (that is, "normal game state") is 9400/9400/ It is set so that 10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9350, and the value "650 to 9999" Is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. This is because, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 at the setting value "4", in the high probability state of the special symbol, there is no value corresponding to the losing random number value, like the setting value "3". Therefore, when increasing the number of random numbers for the jackpot from the set value "3", the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot due to setting changes and probability fluctuations is reduced from the number of random numbers for small hits, not the number of random numbers for losing. It is configured to compensate from the number of winning random numbers. That is, the small winning probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9350/10000 = 93.5 /100 (that is, 93.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set so that it is difficult to get a small hit from the low probability state (about 0.995 times).

Therefore, when the set value is "4", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. In 535 pieces, the value "9465 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the same as the set value "3", with 0 remaining other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers, special figure 2 jackpot The random number table 272a2 does not store a value corresponding to the lost random number value. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "4" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 535/10000=5.35/100. (that is, 5.35%), the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 0 /10000=0/100 (that is, 0%), and is configured so that a losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "4", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, In addition to compensating for the decrement, the number (that is, 50) that cannot be compensated for by the losing random number is reduced by reducing the number of small winning random numbers, and the decrement is also compensated for.

Therefore, the set value "4" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has a slightly improved jackpot probability compared to the set value "3" (low probability state: 0.6% → 0.65%, high Probability state: 6% → 6.5%) However, the small hit probability is reduced in the high probability state of the special pattern (high probability state: 94% → 93.5%. The low probability state is the same as the set value "3". ), and it can be said that the setting is such that a large winning game is more likely to occur than in the case of the set value "3", while a small winning game is less likely to occur in a high probability state.

Next, when the set value is "5", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 70, and the value "0 to 69" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "5" is the same as the first special symbol, 70/10000 = 0.7/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.7%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that become a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 700, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 699" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "5" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 700, like the first special symbol. /10000=7/100 (that is, 7%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times easier than the low probability state.

Here, if the set value is "5", the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 (small hit random number) that becomes a small hit in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9400, and the value " 70 to 9469” is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability of the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol of the set value "5" (that is, the "normal game state") is 9400/9400/ It is set so that 10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9300, and the value "700 to 9999" Is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. This is because, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 with the set value "5", in the high probability state with the set value "4", there is no value corresponding to the losing random number in the high probability state of the special symbol. . Therefore, if the number of random numbers for the jackpot is increased from the set value "4", the increase in the random numbers for the jackpot due to the setting change and the probability fluctuation will It is configured to fill in from numerical values. That is, the small hit probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "5" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 9300/10000 = 93/100 (that is, 93%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set so that it is difficult to hit small from the low probability state (approximately 0.989 times).

Therefore, when the set value is "5", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. With 530 pieces, the value "9470 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the case of a high probability state is the same as the set values "3" and "4", with 0 remaining other than the big hit random numbers and small hit random numbers. The special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 does not define (set) a value corresponding to the losing random number value. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "5" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 530/10000=5.3/100. (that is, 5.3%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high-probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 0 /10000=0/100 (that is, 0%) is set so that a losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "5", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by decreasing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, In addition to compensating for the decrement, the number (that is, 50) that cannot be compensated for by the losing random number is reduced by reducing the number of small winning random numbers, and the decrement is also compensated for.

Therefore, the set value "5" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has a slightly improved jackpot probability compared to the set value "4" (low probability state: 0.65% → 0.7%, high Probability state: 6.5% → 7%) However, the small hit probability is reduced in the high probability state of special symbols (high probability state: 93.5% → 93%. The low probability state is the same as the set value "4". ), it can be said that the setting is such that a big winning game is more likely to occur than in the case of the set value "4", while a small winning game is less likely to occur in a high probability state.

Next, when the set value is "6", the number of values (jackpot random numbers) of the jackpot random number counter C1 that becomes a jackpot in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the same as the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. , 75, and the value "0 to 74" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the second special symbol jackpot probability in the second special symbol low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the set value "6" is 75/10000 = 0.75/ It is set to be 100 (ie 0.75%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (jackpot random numbers) that becomes a jackpot in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 750, similar to the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1. The value "0 to 749" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the jackpot probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "super-probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 750, like the first special symbol. /10000=7.5/100 (that is, 7.5%), and the high-probability state of the special symbol is set to be 10 times more likely to hit the jackpot than the low-probability state.

Here, if the set value is "6", the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 (small hit random number) that becomes a small hit in a low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9400, and the value " 75 to 9474” is specified (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. That is, the small hit probability of the second special symbol in the low probability state (that is, "normal game state") of the second special symbol of the set value "6" is 9400/9400/ It is set so that 10000=94/100 (that is, 94%).

On the other hand, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (small hit random numbers) that become small hits in a high probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is 9250, and the value "750 to 9999" Is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. This is because, in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 with the set value "6", in the high probability state with the set value "5", there is no value corresponding to the losing random number in the high probability state of the special symbol. . Therefore, if you increase the number of random numbers for the jackpot from the set value "5", instead of the number of random numbers for losing, the number of random numbers for the small hit will It is configured to fill in from numerical values. That is, the small winning probability of the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "super-probability variation state" or "probability variation state") is 9250/10000=92.5. /100 (that is, 92.5%), and the high probability state of the special symbol is set so that it is difficult to get a small hit from the low probability state (about 0.984 times).

Therefore, when the set value is "6", the number of random number values (losing random numbers) that will be lost in the low probability state in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 is the remaining random numbers other than the jackpot random numbers and small hit random numbers. At 525, the value "9475 to 9999" is defined (set) in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2. In addition, the number of random number values that will be lost in the case of a high probability state (losing random number value) is the same as the set value "3" to "5", with 0 remaining other than the big hit random value and the small hit random value, The special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 does not define (set) a value corresponding to the losing random number value. That is, the probability of losing the second special symbol in the low probability state of the second special symbol with the set value "6" (that is, "normal game state" or "time reduction state") is 525/10000=5.25/100. (that is, 5.25%), and the probability of losing the second special symbol in the high probability state of the second special symbol (that is, "super probability fluctuation state" or "probability fluctuation state") is 0 /10000=0/100 (that is, 0%), and is configured so that a losing combination does not appear.

That is, at the set value "6", the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers in the high probability state of special figure 2 is reduced by reducing the number of losing random numbers in the "normal game state" with the highest staying rate in the game, In addition to compensating for the decrement, the number (that is, 50) that cannot be compensated for by the losing random number is reduced by reducing the number of small winning random numbers, and the decrement is also compensated for.

Therefore, the set value "6" in the special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2 has a slightly improved jackpot probability compared to the set value "5" (low probability state: 0.7% → 0.75%, high Probability state: 7% → 7.5%), but the small hit probability is reduced in the high probability state of special symbols (high probability state: 93% → 92.5%. The low probability state is the same as the set value "5". ), it can be said that it is a setting in which a big winning game is more likely to occur than in the case of the set value “5”, and a small winning game is less likely to occur in a high probability state.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the seventeenth embodiment, when the set value is increased to increase the number of jackpot random numbers corresponding to the jackpot game most advantageous to the player, first, the game value is the highest. Compensation is made from the number of random numbers (that is, losing random numbers) corresponding to the lowest combination (that is, losing combination). ), and the number of random numbers (that is, small winning random numbers) corresponding to the combination with the next lowest game value (that is, small winning combination). By configuring in this way, it is possible to compensate for the increase in the number of big hit random numbers due to the setting change from the number of each random number, so It is possible to eliminate the restriction at the time of designing the game specifications such as compensation, and to maximize the increase in the advantage due to the setting change. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in designing game specifications and suppress an increase in the number of man-hours for development while realizing game specifications with a sharpness due to setting differences.

Further, in the high-probability state of the second special symbol, when the setting value is "3" to "6", the losing combination is configured not to appear. In other words, in the second lottery game with the second special symbols, the fact that the winning combination does not appear can suggest to the player that the pachinko machine 10 has high settings. Therefore, it becomes easy for the player to set and suggest only in a specific game state (that is, a high probability state) in a specific special pattern (that is, a second special pattern). By creating the game property of whether or not to obtain a setting suggestion opportunity, it is possible to enrich the variation of the game and improve the interest of the game.

Although the present invention has been described based on the above embodiments, the present invention is by no means limited to the above embodiments, and it will be easily understood that various modifications and improvements are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. It can be inferred. For example, each embodiment may add part or more of the configuration of another embodiment to that embodiment or replace it with a part or more of the configuration of that embodiment. The embodiment may be modified and configured. Further, the numerical values given in the above embodiment are only examples, and it is naturally possible to adopt other numerical values.

<Modification 1>
In each of the above embodiments, the case where the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are calculated, recorded, and output to the inspection device 300 has been described. In addition to the object ratio and the continuous role ratio, information indicating the game performance of the pachinko machine 10, such as the base value, the number of balls sucked with respect to 100 hit balls (= 100 - base value), jackpot and so on. The average number of outs until the number of outs is reached may be calculated, recorded, and output to the inspection apparatus 300 .

<Modification 2>
In each of the above-described embodiments, a counter is provided in the first reading memory 263 to count the number of winning balls for each winning opening. , you may count the number of balls paid out by winning. Then, in the first embodiment, when it is time to calculate the role ratio, based on the number of balls paid out for each winning opening counted by the first reading/reading memory 263, The product ratio and the continuous accessory ratio may be calculated and accumulated and recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . Further, in the second embodiment, when the timing for calculating the character ratio has come, the winning for each winning opening counted by the first reading memory 263 is calculated when the timing for calculating the character ratio has come. The number of balls paid out by , may be accumulated and recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . In this case, when the number of winning balls for each winning opening is stored in the buffer 262 for 0.5 seconds, the CPU 261 responds to the number of winning balls for each winning opening. By multiplying the number of winning balls in the winning opening, the number of balls put out due to winning in the 0.5 seconds is calculated, and the calculated number of balls put out is stored in the correspondence provided in the first reading memory 263. The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning opening by adding to the counter of the winning opening. Further, when it is detected that a prize has been won in one prize-winning slot, the MPU 201 writes information indicating the prize-winning slot in the buffer 262. When the information indicating the opening is written, the number of balls paid out by winning the winning opening is added to the counter of the corresponding winning opening provided in the first reading memory 263, so that for each winning opening, The number of balls paid out by winning may be counted. In addition, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls paid out for each winning opening every 0.5 seconds (or every predetermined time) and stores the number in the buffer 262. , when the writing to the buffer 262 is performed, the CPU 261 calculates, for each winning hole, the number of balls paid out by winning the winning hole for 0.5 seconds written in the buffer 262 as the first By adding to the counter of the corresponding winning opening provided in the reading memory 263, the number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning opening. When the MPU 201 detects that a winning opening has been won, the MPU 201 stores the number of balls paid out as a result of the winning in the area corresponding to the winning opening in the buffer 262. , in the CPU 261, when writing to the buffer 262 is performed, the counter of the first reading memory 263 corresponding to the winning opening storing the number of balls paid out is written to the buffer 262. By adding the number of balls, the number of balls paid out by winning may be counted for each winning hole. In this way, even if the counter provided in the first reading memory 263 counts the number of balls paid out for each winning hole, the number of balls paid out for each winning hole thus counted is paid out. Since the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio can be calculated from the number of balls that have been drawn, fraud can be detected by analyzing the calculated character product ratio and continuous character product ratio. If the MPU 201 stores in the buffer 262 the number of balls paid out as a result of winning, the winning ball number table 202e does not need to be sent to the character ratio management chip 207, and the buffer 262 From the number of balls paid out by winning a prize to the winning opening stored in , the role ratio and the consecutive role ratio can be calculated. In addition, in order to calculate the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio in the inspection device 300, the number of balls paid out by winning, which is counted for each winning opening, may be transmitted to the inspection device 300. . In this case, the inspection device 300 can calculate the contract ratio and the continuous accessory ratio without transmitting the contents of the number-of-balls table 202e to the inspection device 300 .

<Modification 3>
In the first embodiment described above, the case where the role product ratio data 264a and the continuous role product ratio data 264b are recorded in the second read/write memory 264 and transmitted to the inspection device 300 has been described. It may be recorded in the second read/write memory 264 and transmitted to the inspection device 300 , or only the continuous character object ratio data 264 b may be recorded in the second read/write memory 264 and transmitted to the inspection device 300 . can be The inspection device 300 can analyze fraud by analyzing the role product ratio or the continuous role product ratio transmitted from the role product ratio management chip 207 .

<Modification 4>
Although the first read/write memory 263 is configured with a volatile memory in each of the above embodiments, the first read/write memory 263 is configured with a nonvolatile memory (eg, flash memory, FeRAM, MRAM, ReRAM, etc.). may be Also, the backup voltage may be supplied from the power supply device 115 to the first read/write memory 263 even while the power is off. In this case, in the process of S711 (see FIG. 18) executed by the CPU 261 when power is supplied to the character product ratio management chip 207, the initialization of the first read/write memory 263 may not be executed. As a result, the counters 263a to 263f and the data 263g to 263j stored in the first read/write memory 263 can be held even while the power is turned off. Therefore, when the power to the role product ratio management chip 207 is cut off, even if the role product ratio calculation process or winning information storage process is not executed, the most recent second reading memory 264 Without omitting the winnings to each winning slot that occurred during the period when it was determined that the power was turned off from the timing (trigger) at which the recording was performed, the ratio of the prizes, etc. were calculated, and the total number of the winnings was calculated in the second reading. It can be recorded to memory 264 . Therefore, in this case, the capacitor 267 may be dispensed with.

<Modification 5>
In each of the above embodiments, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the inspection result output process is executed and the information recorded in the second read/write memory 264 is output. In addition, information stored in the first read/write memory 263 may also be output. Since the information stored in the first reading memory 263 has not yet reached the timing (trigger) to be recorded in the second reading memory 264, the character ratio and the continuous character ratio recorded in the second reading memory 264 It is information that is not used for calculation, or information that is not recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . Therefore, by transmitting the information stored in the first read/write memory 263 to the inspection device 300, it is possible to cause the inspection device 300 to perform analysis using the latest information.

Further, in the first embodiment, as the information recorded in the second read/write memory 264, the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio calculated by the character product ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection device 300. However, by also transmitting the information stored in the first read/write memory 263 to the inspection device 300, although it is short-term information, the total number of balls that have won in each winning hole can be obtained. Raw information before calculating the ratio can be grasped by the inspection device 300 . Therefore, the analysis in the inspection apparatus 300 can be performed more deeply and accurately.

As a modification of the first embodiment, as information recorded in the second read/write memory 264, the character material ratio and the continuous character material ratio calculated by the character material ratio management chip 207 are transmitted to the inspection device 300. If the information stored in the first read/write memory 263 is also transmitted to the inspection device 300 , the winning balls table 202 e may be transmitted to the inspection device 300 . As a result, the inspection device 300 uses the winning ball number table 202e to calculate the latest role ratio and continuous role ratio from the total number of winning balls for each winning hole transmitted from the first reading memory 263. and can be analyzed. It should be noted that the calculated role ratio and continuous role ratio are the values of winnings to each winning slot in a short period of time before the timing indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b. Since it is calculated based on the total number of balls, the calculated character object ratio and continuous character object ratio are not necessarily accurate values, but can be used as reference values for analysis by the inspection device 300. .

Further, when the inspection device 300 is connected to the inspection terminal 207a, the CPU 261 calculates the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio based on the information stored in the first read/write memory 263, and the calculated role product ratio The ratio and the continuous character ratio may be output to the inspection device 300 together with the information recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . As a result, the inspection device 300 can easily analyze fraud by using the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio output from the role product ratio management chip 207 . In this case, the information stored in the first read/write memory 263 may also be output to the inspection device 300 . This allows the inspection device 300 to perform a deeper analysis using information related to the latest winnings. Also in this case, the number-of-balls table 202e may be transmitted to the inspection device 300. FIG. This allows the inspection device 300 to perform a deeper analysis while referring to the number-of-balls table 202e.

<Modification 6>
In each of the above embodiments, the character object ratio management chip 207 is provided with the first volatile reading memory 263 and the second nonvolatile reading memory 264, and the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b The information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored in the first read/write memory 263 while accumulating until the indicated timing (trigger) is reached. Based on the information stored in 263, the role product ratio and the continuous role product ratio are calculated and recorded in the second reading memory 264, or accumulated and stored in the first reading memory 263 by the timing. The case of recording various information in the second read/write memory 264 has been described. On the other hand, in the character object ratio management chip 207, a non-volatile memory provided with at least a first reading area serving as the first reading memory 263 and a second reading area serving as the second reading memory 264. is provided, and until the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is reached, the information set in the buffer 262 by the MPU 201 is temporarily stored in the first reading area while accumulating. , and when the timing comes, the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio are calculated and recorded in the second reading area based on the information temporarily stored in the first reading area, or Various information accumulated and stored in the first reading area may be recorded in the second reading area until the timing is reached. As a result, the number of parts of the memory can be reduced, so an increase in the cost of the character product ratio management chip 207 can be suppressed.

<Modification 7>
In each of the above-described embodiments, the MPU 201 counts the number of balls that have won a prize for each winning hole in 0.5 seconds, and counts the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path. Then, the number of balls counted for each winning hole, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path, and information about the game state at that time are stored in the buffer 262 of the character ratio management chip 207 every 0.5 seconds. Each time the setting is made in the buffer 262, the number of balls that have won a prize for each winning hole set in the buffer 262, the number of balls that have been guided to the ball discharge path, and the game state. The case where the information is accumulated and stored in the first read/write memory 263 has been described. On the other hand, in the MPU 201, the winning of the first starting port 64a is detected by the output of the first starting port switch 208a in the timer interrupt process executed every 2 milliseconds based on the outputs of various switches. In this case, the start 1 buffer 262a is turned on, and when the winning of the second start opening 64b is detected by the output of the second start opening switch 208b, the start 2 buffer 262b is turned on, and the first normal winning opening switch 208c is turned on. When the winning of the first normal winning opening 63a is detected by the output, the normal 1 buffer 262c is turned on, and when the winning of the second normal winning opening 63b is detected by the output of the second normal winning opening switch 208d. The general 2 buffer 262d is turned on, and when the winning of the big winning opening 65a is detected by the output of the big winning opening switch 208e, the big winning opening buffer 262e is turned on, and the out switch 208f is guided to the ball discharge path. When the ball is detected, the out buffer 262f is turned on, and the corresponding jackpot buffer 262g, open buffer 262h, and error buffer 262i are turned on according to the game state at that time, and an interrupt signal is generated. It may be transmitted to the role product ratio management chip 207 . Then, in the character product ratio management chip 207, in the setting information receiving process executed in response to the interrupt signal, when the start 1 buffer 262a is turned on, the start 1 counter 263a is incremented by 1, and the start 2 buffer 262b is When the general 1 buffer 262c is on, the general 1 counter 263c is incremented by 1, and when the general 2 buffer 262d is on, the general 2 counter 263b is incremented by 1. The counter 263d is incremented by 1, and when the big winning opening buffer 262e is turned on, the big winning opening counter 263e is incremented by 1, and when the out buffer 262f is turned on, the out counter 263f is incremented by 1. When the big win buffer 262g is on, the jackpot information is additionally stored in the big win data 263g together with the time at that time, and when the open buffer 262h is on, the door is opened in the open data 263h. If the error buffer 262i is ON, the error information is additionally stored in the error data 263i along with the time at that time, and the setting If the time at which the information reception process is executed is midnight, the after-hours information may be added to the after-hours data 263j and stored together with the time at that time. As a result, the MPU 201 does not need to count the number of balls that have entered each winning hole or the number of balls that have been guided to the ball discharge path in 0.5 seconds, so the processing load of the MPU 201 increases. can be suppressed. Therefore, most of the processing capacity of the MPU 201 can be allocated to the main control of the game that should be performed by the MPU 201 .

<Modification 8>
Also, in this case, the first start switch 208a, the second start switch 208b, the first normal winning switch 208c, the second normal winning switch 208d, the big winning switch 208e, and the out switch 208f are used for role product ratio management. It may be input directly to the chip 207 . Then, in the role product ratio management chip 207, the first starting opening switch 208a, the second starting opening switch 208b, the first normal winning opening switch 208c, the second normal winning opening switch 208d, the big winning opening switch 208e, and the out switch 208f. From each output, the presence or absence of winning to the first start port 64a, the second start port 64b, the first normal winning port 63a, the second normal winning port 63b, the big winning port 65a, and the ball guided to the ball discharge path If there is a prize, the counters 263a to 264e of the first reading memory 263 corresponding to the starting port where the prize was won are incremented by 1, and there is a ball guided to the ball discharge path. In this case, the out counter 263f may be configured to count up by one. As a result, when a prize is won in the prize winning slot or when a ball is guided to the ball discharge path, the situation can be immediately reflected in the role product ratio management chip 207 . In addition, the door opening switch 208g is directly input to the role product ratio management chip 207, and based on the output of the door opening switch 208g, the role product ratio management chip 207 determines whether the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened. Then, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the door opening information is stored in addition to the opening data 263h together with the time indicated by the RTC 266 at that time. A management chip 207 may be configured. As a result, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the situation can be immediately reflected in the role product ratio management chip 207 .

<Modification 9>
In each of the above-described embodiments, the number of balls that have won a prize in each prize-winning opening until the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is reached in the role ratio management chip 207 is set to the first Each counter 263a to 264e of the read memory 263 counts, and the number of balls discharged to the ball discharge path until the timing (trigger) is reached is counted by the out counter 263f of the first read memory 263. In the first read/write memory 263, the first buffer 262a, the first buffer 262b, the general buffer 262c, the general buffer 2 262d, and the big winning opening buffer 262e are set by the MPU 201 every 0.5 seconds. , out-buffer 262f (that is, the number of balls won in each winning hole during 0.5 seconds and the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path during 0.5 seconds) are It may be stored sequentially together with the current time indicated by the RTC 266 . Then, when the timing (trigger) indicated by the trigger information data 202f set in the trigger setting area 265b is reached, the character product ratio and the continuous character product ratio are calculated from the values stored in the first reading memory 263. Calculate and record in the second read/write memory 264, or calculate the total number of balls that have entered each prize winning opening until the timing is reached, and the total number of balls that have been discharged to the ball discharge path before the timing is calculated. The total number of spheres may be calculated and recorded in the second read/write memory 264 . By transmitting the information recorded in the second read/write memory 264 to the inspection device 300, the inspection device 300 can also determine whether or not there is a possibility of fraudulent activity from the character object ratio and the continuous object ratio. can do. In this case, when the information recorded in the second reading memory 264 is transmitted to the inspection device 300, the information stored in the first reading memory 263, that is, the winning openings that have won during 0.5 seconds The number of balls per hour, the number of balls guided to the ball discharge path during 0.5 seconds, and the time associated with the number of balls (that is, the number of balls is stored in the first reading memory H.263 (time stored in H.263) may be transmitted to the inspection apparatus 300 together. As a result, information such as how many balls have won in which prize opening at what time every 0.5 seconds, and how many balls have won at what time every 0.5 seconds. The inspecting device 300 can grasp detailed information such as whether the ball was guided to the discharge path at the beginning (that is, whether the ball was shot to the game area).

Also, when the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is operated, all the segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided in the base display device 401 are cleared for a predetermined period (this embodiment 5 seconds) may be lit or blinked.

<Modification 80>
In the fifth embodiment, all the segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 immediately after the pachinko machine 10 is turned on for a predetermined period (this embodiment 5 seconds) lighting (or blinking) control is executed at a predetermined point (S3007) of the start-up process (see FIG. 40), but the lighting (or blinking) control is performed in the start-up process. may be performed at any point in For example, the control may be executed first after execution of the start-up process is started, or may be executed after the initialization (S601). Alternatively, the control may be executed after setting interrupt permission (S613). Also, the control may be executed at a place other than the start-up process. For example, in the main process (see FIG. 17) executed after the start-up process ends, the control may be executed before the loop process (S701 to S703) is executed. In the timer interrupt processing, for example, in the base value processing (see FIG. 41), which is one processing of the timer interrupt processing, the timer interrupt processing or the base value processing is executed for the first time after the power is turned on. It may be determined whether or not the control has been executed, and the control may be executed when the control is executed for the first time after the power is turned on. In other words, all segments (including dot segments) of the 7-segment displays 401a to 401d provided on the base display device 401 are lit (or blinked) for a predetermined period (5 seconds in this embodiment) once after the power is turned on. If possible, this control may be performed at any timing.

<Modification 81>

On the other hand, the increase rate of the jackpot probability is changed for each setting value (for example, setting value "1" is 5 times, setting value "2" is 6 times, ... setting value "6" is 10 times, etc.). It may be configured as By configuring in this way, the higher the setting, the easier it is to win a big win in a state with a high probability of special symbols, so that the phenomenon itself of quickly winning a big win game in a high probability state becomes a setting suggestion. Therefore, it is possible to create a game of how quickly a jackpot can be won in a high-probability state, and to improve the amusement of the game.

<Modification 149>
In the thirteenth embodiment and the like, in the low-probability state and high-probability state of the special symbol, it is configured so that the setting difference occurs in the probability of the big win in any state. On the other hand, the setting difference of the jackpot probability in one of the states (low-probability state or high-probability state) is eliminated, and the setting difference is provided in the jackpot probability in the other state (high-probability state or low-probability state). You may

<Modification 150>
In the 16th embodiment, the big hit random number value and the small hit random number value are increased for each set value, and the increment of each random number value is compensated from the losing random number value. On the other hand, it may be configured such that only the big hit random number value is increased for each set value, and the increment of the big hit random number value is compensated for by the small winning random number value and the losing random number value. By configuring in this way, it is possible to compensate for the change in the number of big hit random numbers based on the setting change from each of the small hit random numbers and the losing random numbers, and the change in the big hit random numbers is fixed. It is no longer necessary to fill from the predetermined random value of 1. Therefore, since it is not necessary to secure the number of the predetermined random number values from 1 for the amount of change in the jackpot random number value, there is no restriction at the time of designing the game specifications, and the degree of freedom in designing the game specifications is increased. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. In this case, the increase in the number of big hit random numbers may be compensated equally from the number of small hit random numbers and the number of losing random numbers, or the number of small winning random numbers and the number of losing random numbers may be reduced. You may compensate so that the ratio becomes an equal ratio.

<Modification 151>
In the thirteenth embodiment, as the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers associated with the setting change, the number of random numbers corresponding to the hand that is likely to be obtained in the gaming state with the highest staying rate (that is, the number of winnings in the "normal gaming state") The number of random numbers) is decreased, and the decrease is used as the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot. On the other hand, for each special symbol executed in a game state, the number of random numbers corresponding to a winning combination that is likely to be acquired in the game state may be reduced to compensate for this. Specifically, for example, in the "normal game state", in the first special symbols that are likely to be executed, the increase in the number of the jackpot random numbers is compensated by decreasing the number of the most likely losing random numbers. In the "probability fluctuation state", in the second special symbol that is likely to be executed, the increase in the number of large winning random numbers is compensated by decreasing the number of small winning random numbers that are most likely to be obtained. may

<Modification 152>
In the thirteenth embodiment, as the increase in the number of jackpot random numbers due to the setting change, the number of losing random numbers that are not displayed (clearly) on the data lamp is reduced, and the decrease is It was configured to compensate as the number of jackpot random numbers for the increase. On the other hand, as an increase in the number of jackpot random numbers associated with the setting change, the number of random numbers corresponding to other hands than the losing hand that is not displayed (clearly) on the data lamp is reduced. , the number of jackpot random numbers corresponding to the decrement or increment may be compensated.

<Modification 153>
In the thirteenth embodiment, the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is set to "9999" for each set value, and the number of jackpot random numbers that can be a jackpot is changed for each set value, and the changed amount is lost. It is configured to compensate from random values and to change the probability of deriving a big win. Alternatively, the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 may be changed for each set value to change the jackpot derivation probability. Specifically, for example, while the number of jackpot random numbers is set to 100 (for example, "0 to 99") for all set values, the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is set to "9999" at the set value "1". ", the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 at the setting value "2" is "9899", the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 at the setting value "3" is "9799", and the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is "9799" at the setting value "4" The maximum update value is "9699", the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is "9599" at the setting value "5", and the maximum update value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is "9499" at the setting value "6". It is also possible to configure such that the number of losing random numbers is reduced immediately to change the derivation probability of the big win.

<Modification 154>
In the thirteenth embodiment, the number of small winning random numbers is less than the number of losing random numbers so that the derivation probability of losing is higher than the small winning in the first special symbol, while in the second special symbol In order to increase the derivation probability of the small win rather than the loss, the number of the small winning random numbers is larger than the number of the losing random numbers. On the other hand, in the first special pattern, the number of small winning random numbers is larger than the number of losing random numbers, or in the second special design, the number of small winning random numbers is smaller than the number of losing random numbers (or small It may be configured so that the winning random value itself is not provided). And when you change the settings and change the number of random numbers for the jackpot, the random number with the larger number or the random number with the smaller number will compensate for the increase in the number of random numbers for the jackpot. can be configured to

<Modification 155>
In the thirteenth embodiment described above, a jackpot combination, a small winning combination, and a losing combination are provided as extraction combinations, and each combination can be extracted. On the other hand, as a combination in which a game value is imparted to a player, a medium winning combination in which a game value less than a big win and a game value greater than or equal to a small win is imparted is provided, and each combination can be extracted. While increasing the number of random numbers corresponding to one winning combination (for example, a jackpot combination, a medium winning combination, or a small winning combination), any other combination (for example, a medium winning combination, a small winning combination, or It may be configured to reduce the number of random numbers corresponding to a losing combination). In addition, as a jackpot, a medium hit and a small hit, for example, a 15R jackpot as a jackpot, an 8R jackpot as a medium hit, and a 4R jackpot as a small hit, a probability variable jackpot as a jackpot, and a latent probability variable jackpot and small hit as a medium hit If the short-time jackpot applies as a jackpot, the 15R variable jackpot as the jackpot, the 15R short-time jackpot as the middle hit, and the 15R normal jackpot as the small hit (jackpot that does not shift to "probability fluctuation state" or "time reduction state") may apply. exemplified.

In the above embodiment, each command is transmitted from the main controller 110 to the audio lamp controller 113, and the audio lamp controller 113 instructs the display controller 114 to display. The command may be sent directly from the control device 110 to the display control device 114 . Alternatively, an audio lamp control device may be connected to the display control device, and the display control device may transmit commands for instructing the output of each sound and lighting of the lamp to the audio lamp control device. Furthermore, the audio lamp control device and the display control device may be configured as one control device. By using these as one control device, the number of parts can be reduced, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, in the command determination process (S911) executed by the audio ramp control device 113, when the stop type command is received, the fluctuation start flag is always set to ON. The fluctuation start flag may be set to ON when the stop type command is received after there is As a result, it is possible to suppress execution of a strange variation effect when a stop type command is received without receiving a variation pattern command.

Also, at the timing of receiving the variation pattern command, the variation start flag may be set to ON. In this case, in the variation display process (S910) executed by the audio lamp control device 113, based on the fact that the variation start flag is turned on, display is performed to notify the display control device 114 of the variation pattern extracted by the variation pattern command. A variation pattern command may be generated and transmitted to the display control device 114 . As a result, without waiting for reception of the stop type command by the sound lamp control device 113, the display control device 114 is caused to execute the variation effect on the third pattern display device 81 based on the display variation pattern command. can be done. In this case, the audio lamp control device 113 generates a display stop type command for notifying the display control device 114 of the stop type extracted from the stop type command at the timing of receiving the stop type command, You may make it transmit to the display control apparatus 114. FIG. Then, the display control device 114 may determine the stop pattern of the variable effect executed by the third pattern display device 81 based on the stop type command for display.

In the above embodiment, the image controller 236 transmits the V interrupt signal to the MPU 231 at each display interval (every 20 milliseconds in the above embodiment) of the image for one frame at which drawing processing ends. However, the image controller 236 may transmit this V interrupt signal to the MPU 231 each time the third pattern display device 81 is driven to display an image for one frame. The third pattern display device 81 is driven so that one frame of image is always displayed at equal time intervals (20 millisecond intervals). By sending a , the time interval can be kept accurate without timing.

In the above embodiment, the demonstration effect may stop and display the third symbols consisting of the main symbols with no numerals "0" to "9". Further, a third pattern consisting of main patterns with numbers or main patterns with no numbers may be stopped and displayed in a translucent state. Alternatively, only the rear image may be changed without displaying the third pattern. Also, a character or a back image that is completely different from the third pattern or the back image used in the variable display may be displayed.

In the above-described embodiment, the third symbol display device 81 in which the variable effect is performed may execute the continuous advance notice effect, or a fourth symbol display device separate from the third symbol display device 81 may be provided to display the third symbol. By displaying the fourth pattern on the fourth pattern display device together with the variable effect executed by the display device 81, the continuous advance notice effect may be executed. In this case, the control of the fourth pattern display device may be performed by the display control device 114 or may be performed by the sound lamp control device 113 . Further, a continuous advance notice performance may be executed by providing the pachinko machine 10 with a role that operates according to various performances and activating the performance in a predetermined mode together with the variable performance. Further, by controlling the sound lamp control device 113, by outputting the sound for the continuous notice effect from the sound output device 226 of the pachinko machine 10, the continuous notice effect may be executed, or the illumination part of the pachinko machine 10. A continuous advance notice effect may be executed by lighting or blinking 29 to 33 together with the variable effect.

As a result, every time the variation effect is performed in the third pattern display device 81 (and the first pattern display device 37), the pattern is continuously displayed in the fourth pattern display device, or the character is operated in a predetermined manner. Or, by outputting a sound from the sound output device 226, or by lighting or blinking the illumination parts 29 to 33, the player can be given a feeling of anticipation of a big win. In addition, the player normally continues the game while watching the third pattern display device 81 where the variable effect is performed, but the pattern is displayed by the fourth pattern display device different from the third pattern display device 81. , the operation of the character, the sound output from the sound output device 226, or the lighting and blinking of the illumination parts 29 to 33, the continuous announcement effect is performed, and the effect different from the usual effect is performed to the player. can be easily recognized. In addition, the continuous announcement effect can be easily continued by simple control such as display of the pattern by the fourth pattern display device, operation of the character, sound output from the sound output device 226, or lighting / blinking of the illumination parts 29 to 33. It is possible to perform a preview performance.

Further, if the continuous notice effect is performed by outputting sound from the sound output device 226 or by lighting or blinking the illumination parts 29 to 33, the control of the continuous notice effect is performed by the sound lamp control device 113. The main control device 110 is made to perform the winning judgment and the lottery process at the start of the fluctuation, the voice lamp control device 113 is made to perform the continuous notice effect, and the display control device 114 is made to perform the change effect, so that the pachinko machine 10 continues When the advance notice effect is performed, each control device can be made to take charge of each process. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load from concentrating on one control device, so that the performance required for the MPU of each control device can be kept low.

In addition, display of symbols for continuous advance notice effect on the third pattern display device 81, display of symbols for continuous notice effect on the fourth pattern display device, operation in a predetermined mode of the role, sound from the sound output device 226 At least two or more of the output and lighting or blinking of the illumination units 29 to 33 may be combined and controlled in conjunction with each other to execute a continuous advance notice effect. As a result, it is possible to execute more diverse continuous announcement effects. In addition, the execution method of the continuous notice effect (display by the third pattern display device 81, display by the fourth pattern display device, operation of the role, sound output from the sound output device 226, lighting or blinking of the illumination parts 29 to 33 , or a combination of them), by changing the game state after the end of the continuous notice effect (15R probability variable jackpot, 2R probability variable jackpot, 15R normal jackpot, off) Prepare multiple continuous notice effect modes selected according to good too.

Further, when the continuous advance notice effect is performed, an image for the continuous notice effect different from the variable effect may be displayed on the third pattern display device 81, or the continuous notice effect is performed when the variable effect is completed. As the displayed stop symbols, a so-called "chance eye", which is a combination of predetermined symbols, may be displayed. In this case, when the command determination process (S1602 in FIG. 27(c)) executed by the MPU 221 of the display control device 114 determines the reception of the continuous notice command, the stop symbol determination flag corresponding to the chance eye is turned on. , and other stop symbol determination flags may be set to OFF. In the command determination process, after the stop identification command process, the process corresponding to the continuous notice command is executed in the other command process. It is set as a pattern. Therefore, it is possible to confirm and display the chance eye when the variation is stopped. Then, if the third symbol display device 81 continuously displays chance numbers as stop symbols for each variable performance, the player can be given an expectation that a big win will finally be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the main controller 110, when there is a winning (starting winning) to the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b, the number of pending balls incremented by "1" The case where each counter C1 to C3, CS1 acquired from the counter buffer along with the start winning is included as it is and is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113 in response to the pending ball number command to be notified has been described. The types of counters included in the number-of-balls command may be part of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1, or may include the values of other counters. Also, when the main controller 110 notifies the audio lamp controller 113 of the values of the counters acquired in conjunction with the start winning, the information indicating the values of the counters is included in the pending ball number command and notified. Instead, information indicating the value of each counter may be included in a command separate from the number-of-holds-balls command, and these values may be notified to the audio lamp control device 113 . As another command, it may be a dedicated command for notifying the voice lamp control device 113 of the value of each counter acquired with the start winning, or a variation pattern command, a stop pattern command, or other information may be voiced. The command for notifying the lamp control device 113 may be added with the value of each counter acquired with the start winning. As another command, when notifying the voice lamp control device 113 of the value of each counter acquired with the start winning, the command indicates that the value of each counter to be notified is a variable effect corresponding to the number of times of suspension It may include information indicating whether it is related. As a result, the sound lamp control device 113, based on the information about the number of times of suspension included in the command, stores each of A counter value can be stored.

In the above embodiment, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives the pending ball number command, the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 indicated by the pending ball number command may be stored in the RAM 223. , When a command for the number of pending balls (or a command indicating the value of each counter) is received, based on the value of each counter indicated by the command, whether it is a jackpot, the type of jackpot in the case of a jackpot, and the loss In this case, some or all of the outlier types, etc. are determined, and these determination results are used instead of the values of each counter indicated by the command, or combined with some or all of the values of the counters, It may be stored in the RAM 223 .

In each of the above embodiments, regardless of which of the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b the ball has won, the number of retained balls is counted by the main controller 110 using one retained ball number counter 203a. I explained how to count. On the other hand, in the RAM 203 of the main controller 110, the number of reserved balls counter for the first starting opening corresponding to the first starting opening 64a, the reserved number of balls counter for the second starting opening corresponding to the second starting opening 64b, and the RAM 203 of the main controller 110 It is also possible to separately count the number of pending balls associated with starting winnings to the first starting port 64a and the number of pending balls associated with starting winnings to the second starting port 64b.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, regardless of which of the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b the ball has won, the case where the maximum number of balls that can be held is set to "4" has been described. The maximum number of reserved balls that can be reserved with the starting prize to the first starting port 64a and the maximum number of reserved balls that can be reserved with the starting prize to the second starting port 64b are separately determined and managed. good too. For example, the maximum number of reserved balls that can be reserved with the start winning to the first starting port 64a is set to "4", and the maximum number of reserved balls that can be reserved with the starting winning to the second starting port 64b is "4". As, at a certain point in time, the number of reserved balls with the start winning to the first starting port 64a is "4", and the number of reserved balls with the starting winning to the second starting port 64b is "2", even if there are more starting prizes in the first starting port 64a, the starting prizes will not be reserved, but if there are starting prizes in the second starting port 64b, they will be reserved. may As a result, the player can be made to recognize that the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b are separate, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

Further, for example, the variable effect based on the starting winning to the second starting port 64b may be given priority over the variable effect based on the starting winning to the first starting port 64a. Alternatively, the variable effect based on the start winning to the first starting port 64a may be given priority over the variable effect based on the starting winning to the second starting port 64b. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the start opening where the variable effect is preferentially performed.

In the above-described embodiment, the game board 13 is provided with two starting holes, the first starting hole 64a and the second starting hole 64b, as starting holes for starting the jackpot lottery when a ball is entered. However, the number of starting ports is not necessarily limited to this, and the number of starting ports may be one or a plurality of three or more. When there are two or more starting ports, the RAM 203 has a corresponding reserved ball number counter for each starting port, and for each starting port, the reserved balls that are reserved according to the winning of the corresponding starting port are stored. You may make it count the number. Also, for each starting port, the maximum number of reserved balls that can be reserved with the start winning to the corresponding starting port may be set.

In addition, when there are two or more starting ports, the command for the number of pending balls sent by the main controller 110 to the voice lamp control device 113 to notify that the suspension has been performed with the winning of the starting port It may also include information indicating whether a hold has been made by winning a prize in the starter. Further, the variation pattern command that the main controller 110 transmits to the sound lamp control device 113 when starting variation may also include information indicating which starting port the variation effect is suspended. As a result, in the voice lamp control device 113, a holding ball number counter is prepared for each starting port, and when a holding ball number command is received, a holding ball number counter for the starting port indicated by the holding ball number command When the number of held balls is set to , and a variation pattern command is received, the number of held balls can be counted for each starting port by decrementing by 1 a counter of the number of retained balls for the starting port indicated by the variation pattern command.

Further, when a plurality of starting holes are arranged on the game board 13, the counter value acquired with the winning of each starting hole (starting winning) may be notified to the sound lamp control device 113. In this case, the command for notifying the voice lamp control device 113 of the counter value acquired by the main control device 110 in association with the start winning to any starting opening is may include information indicating whether Further, the variation pattern command that the main controller 110 transmits to the sound lamp control device 113 when the variation is started may also include information indicating whether the variation effect is associated with the start winning to which starting port. . Furthermore, in the RAM 223 of the sound lamp control device 113, a look-ahead information storage area is prepared for each starting opening, and each counter value transmitted from the main controller 110 in association with the starting winning to the corresponding starting opening is stored. It may be stored in the prefetch information storage area. As a result, every time a variation pattern command is received, shift processing can be performed on the look-ahead information storage area corresponding to the start opening that detected the start winning that triggered the execution of the variation effect indicated by the variation pattern command. can. Therefore, the value of each counter corresponding to the pending variable effect for each starting port can be held in the sound lamp control device 113 as well. Therefore, if the probability of winning a jackpot, the distribution probability of the jackpot type, the distribution probability of the losing type, etc. differ depending on the starting opening that won the start prize, in the look-ahead process, whether or not it will be a jackpot for each variable effect, It is possible to correctly determine a jackpot type in the case of a jackpot, a loss type in the case of a loss, etc., based on which start opening the winning prize is. In addition, when the variable performance based on the start winning to one starting port is given priority to the variable performance based on the starting winning to the other starting port, the variation based on the starting winning to the one starting port Pre-reading processing can be performed in order from the value of the counter corresponding to the performance, and the number of suspension times of the fluctuation performance that will be the most recent big win can be correctly determined.

Further, when a plurality of starting ports are provided, the sound lamp control device 113 receives a command from the main control device 110 for the value of each counter obtained based on the starting winning to the starting port. When the start of the performance is determined, the continuous notice performance may be executed over all the variable performances (suspended balls) suspended at that time regardless of the start opening where the start prize was awarded. In addition, in a pachinko machine provided with a plurality of starting openings, and in which a variable performance for winning a prize at one starting opening is executed preferentially over a variable rendering for winning a prize at another starting opening, The start of the continuous advance notice effect may be determined only from the result of the prefetching of the counter value obtained for the prize winning at the start opening where the variable effect is executed. Thus, it is not determined whether or not the execution of the continuous announcement performance is set for the variable performance corresponding to the winning to the starting port with the low priority, and the continuous announcement performance is not started for this variable performance. If a continuous announcement effect is started for the variable effect corresponding to the winning at the starting point with a low priority, and the variable effect is continuously suspended at the starting point with a high priority, the continuous warning effect will end soon. It is possible that there will be a situation where you do not. On the other hand, in this modification, the presence or absence of the setting of the execution of the continuous notice effect is not determined for the variable effect corresponding to the winning to the starting port with a low priority, and the continuous notice effect is not determined for this variable effect. is not started, so you can suppress the occurrence of such a situation.

In the above embodiment, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control device 110, the value of the number of pending balls stored in the RAM 223 is reduced by 1 (see S1107 in FIG. 26). However, it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, variation processing executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 (FIG. 13
), the value (N) of the pending ball number counter 203a of the main controller 110 subtracted in accordance with the fluctuation pattern command set by the fluctuation start process (S307) (see S305 in FIG. 13) is A pending ball number command is set so as to be transmitted from the control device 110 to the audio ramp controller 113, and the pending ball number command is transmitted from the main controller 110 to the audio ramp controller 113 together with the transmission of the variation pattern command. You may make it transmit. As a result, the audio lamp control device 113 can more accurately grasp the number of held balls held by the main control device 110 . In this case, S1107 in FIG. 26 is omitted. Also, the variation pattern command may include the value (N) of the pending ball number counter 203a after the subtraction. In this case, the sound lamp control device 113, when receiving a variation pattern command, extracts the number of pending balls (N) included in the variation pattern command and sets it to the number of pending balls stored in the RAM 223.

In the above embodiment, winning to the first starting port 64a and the second starting port 64b and passing through the through gate 67 are each suspended up to four times, but the maximum number of suspended balls is limited to four. It is not limited, and may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). In addition, the maximum number of reserved balls may be set separately depending on the starting opening for winning the first starting opening 64a and the second starting opening 64b, and the maximum number of reserved balls at each starting opening is "4 ” may be any number other than . Also, the maximum number of held balls at each starting port does not necessarily have to be the same value, and may be different values. In addition, the number of held balls for variable display based on the winning of the first start port 64a and the second start port 64b can be displayed numerically in a part of the third symbol display device 81, or by dividing the area into four. It may be displayed in a different manner (for example, color or lighting pattern) by the number of reserved balls, and a light-emitting member such as a lamp is provided separately from the first pattern display device 37, and the reserved balls are used by the light-emitting member. It may be configured to notify the number.

Further, as shown in the above embodiment, the variable display, which is a type of dynamic display, is not limited to vertically scrolling the pattern as identification information on the display screen of the third pattern display device 81. It may be performed by moving and displaying a pattern along a predetermined path such as a direction or an L shape. Further, the dynamic display of the identification information is not limited to the variable display of the pattern. It also includes the production display etc. In this case, one or more characters are used as the third symbol.

In each of the above-described embodiments, when the variable effect is executed, the case of displaying the high-speed variation in which all the symbols Z1 to Z3 are scrolled at such a high speed that the player cannot visually recognize them has been described. Alternatively, all the patterns Z1 to Z3 may be reduced to an unrecognizable degree and displayed, or all the patterns Z1 to Z3 may be displayed as snow noise-like images in which a large number of white dots are randomly displayed.

The present invention may be applied to a different type of pachinko machine or the like from the above embodiment. For example, once a jackpot is won, a pachinko machine (commonly known as a double-right product, a triple-right product, etc.) that increases the expected value of the jackpot until multiple (for example, 2 or 3) jackpot conditions occur, including that. may be implemented as Further, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game in which a predetermined game value is given to the player under the condition that the ball enters a predetermined area after the big winning pattern is displayed. Also, a pachinko machine having a prize winning device having a special area such as a V-zone and entering a special game state as a necessary condition for winning a ball in the special area may be implemented. Furthermore, in addition to pachinko machines, various game machines such as arepachi, majang ball, slot machines, and so-called game machines in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are combined may be implemented.

In the slot machine, for example, the pattern is changed by operating the control lever in a state where the pattern effective line is determined by inserting a coin, and the pattern is stopped and fixed by operating the stop button. It is a thing. Therefore, the basic concept of a slot machine is "provided with a display device that confirms and displays identification information after variably displaying an identification information string consisting of a plurality of pieces of identification information, The variable display of the identification information is started, and the variable display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of the operation means for stopping (for example, a stop button) or after a predetermined period of time has passed, and the stop is displayed. It is a slot machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value under the condition that the combination of time identification information is a specific one. In this case, the game medium is represented by coins, medals, etc. Examples include:

In a slot machine, the ratio of the number of game media paid out as a bonus (accessory) to the total number of game media (coins, medals) paid out during a predetermined period is the role ratio. Therefore, the number of game media to be paid out when each winning combination is established is stored in the ROM of the main controller instead of the prize ball number table 202e, and the same as the role ratio management chip or the prize ratio management chip is stored. In the control device that executes the function, the number of wins (symbols aligned on the activated line) during the non-bonus game period (normal period), the number of wins during the bonus game period, and the win during the AT period. By counting the number of wins won, the role ratio and the consecutive role ratio may be managed.

Further, as a specific example of a game machine that combines a pachinko machine and a slot machine, it is equipped with a display device for displaying a symbol sequence consisting of a plurality of symbols in a variable manner and then confirming and displaying the symbols, and is equipped with a ball launching handle. There are things that are not.

<Group 1: Protective cover that covers the setting keys when the inner frame is closed>
Conventionally, a control device provided on the back side of a gaming machine stores the details of the game value (win probability and/or win type, etc., hereinafter referred to as "set contents") to be given to the player according to the game result. setting means that can change the setting of the game machine, and based on the operation of the setting means by a person involved in the hall, etc., the setting contents of the gaming machine are set in multiple stages (for example, six stages of set values "1" to "6") is configured to be changeable.

The setting means is provided so as to be exposed in the direction of the back side of the game machine when the opening/closing body is closed with respect to the supporting body, and the opening/closing body is supported when the opening/closing body is unlocked by a hall official or the like. When rotated with respect to the body, the setting means is exposed toward the front of the game machine as the support rotates. With this configuration, when a person involved in the hall wishes to change the setting contents of the game machine, it is possible to immediately insert the key for changing the setting into the setting means by rotating the opening/closing body. It is configured so that the setting change operation of the game machine can be performed quickly.

In addition, in the hall, an island facility having an automatic ball feeder and the like is installed in a predetermined closed space. It is configured so that a plurality of game machines can be installed in each. Outside the opening hours of the hall, the hall personnel must unlock the opening and closing member of each game machine installed on the island facility and the support member, and move the opening and closing member against the support member (island facility). Open it and perform setting change work and maintenance work for each game machine.

However, if the setting means is configured to be exposed on the back side of the game machine, for example, in a situation where the game machine is installed on the long side of one of the island facilities in the hall, the length of the installed game machine may be reduced. If the opening/closing body of another game machine installed on the other long side (that is, the back side of the game machine) is opened for some reason (for example, fraud), the game It becomes possible to directly operate the setting means provided so as to be exposed on the back side of the machine.

According to the gaming machine 10, the determination information acquisition means acquires the determination information based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means is determined by the determination means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value provision means may award a predetermined first game value to the player, and the determination means may determine the second game result. is derived, a predetermined second game value may be awarded to the player by the second game value provision means. Further, the probability of deriving the first game result by the determination means is configured to be changeable by the setting means. Here, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored in the win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means. Further, when the judgment information acquisition means extracts the judgment information which is the third value other than the first value or the second value, the judgment means does not give the game value to the player.

In gaming machine 10,
The validity storage means is
When the setting value is changed by the setting means, it is configured not to change the derivation probability of the second value (for example, the number of small winning random numbers is maintained even when the setting value is changed).
A gaming machine 1 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 1, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 10, the following effects are exhibited. That is, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the derivation probability of the second value in the success/failure storage means is not changed.

Conventionally, in order to install a game machine in a game hall, it is necessary to pass a certification test conducted by the competent authority and to obtain approval to show that the game machine is within the prescribed range. For this reason, when designing the game specifications, the developer of the game machine must ensure that the player can continuously play on the pachinko machine with all the setting values of the game machine in order to pass the certification test and obtain approval. Examination of the ratio of the number of balls obtained when the It is necessary to distribute the first value and the second value so that the derivation probability of the first value and the second value in the judging means becomes an appropriate value so that the ball output rate can be certified in the test.

However, in a gaming machine in which setting values can be changed, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed in accordance with the setting change, if the derivation probability of the second value is changed, the first value is changed for each setting value. and the second game value based on the derivation probability of the second value. The calculation of the ball rate becomes complicated, and there is a possibility that the number of man-hours in designing the game specifications increases.

Therefore, according to the game machine 11, even if the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, the derivation probability of the second value is not changed. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the winning probability of the first game value (that is, only the appearance rate of the first game result). , there is an effect that it is possible to simplify the calculation of the pay-out rate and suppress an increase in the number of man-hours when designing the game specifications.

In game machine 10 or 1,
The third value is
A second setting value (e.g., setting value) with the highest derivation probability of the first value from the first setting value (e.g., setting value "1") with the lowest derivation probability of the first value A game machine 12 characterized in that the increment of the first value in "6") is provided.

According to the gaming machine 12, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 10 or 11, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the third value is provided by the increment of the first value from the first setting value with the lowest derivation probability of the first value to the second setting value with the highest derivation probability of the first value. ing. As a result, all the first values to be changed by setting changes can be changed from the third values in all setting values. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value. There is an effect that it is possible to suppress an increase in man-hours at times.

In any one of gaming machines 10 to 12,
The validity storage means is

The stepwise right/wrong storage means
A game machine 13 characterized in that the derivation probability of the first value increases evenly when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to uniformly increase the derivation probability of the first value. As a result, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value that increases stepwise and evenly, and the ball payout rate can be calculated. There is an effect that it is possible to simplify and suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In addition, "increase evenly" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases by the same value (for example, 1%) from the derivation probability one step lower, or if the derivation probability one step lower A case of increasing by the same percentage (for example, 5%) is exemplified.

In any one of gaming machines 10 to 12,
The validity storage means is
At least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table with set values "1" to "3") in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each of the set values set by the setting means 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
A gaming machine 14 characterized in that the probability of derivation of the first value increases at a predetermined rate when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 14, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 10 to 12, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the probability of derivation of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the setting value is changed in stages by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to increase the derivation probability of the first value at a predetermined rate. As a result, the ball payout rate for each set value can be calculated by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value, which increases step by step and at a predetermined rate, and the ball payout rate can be calculated. is simplified, and an increase in man-hours at the time of designing game specifications can be suppressed.

Note that "increase at a predetermined rate" means, for example, a case where the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases proportionally (for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, ...), or exponentially (For example, a case where the set value "1" is used as a reference is increased by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.).

That is, the success/failure storage means stores the first values as continuous values. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the continuous range of the first value is changed. As a result, the determination means can determine the first game value by determining the range from the beginning to the end of the first value. Therefore, even when the setting value is changed by the setting means, it is not necessary to judge each changed first value in the right/wrong judgment, and the value to be judged is from the beginning of the first value. This can be done by judging whether or not it is included up to the end. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the processing load in the suitability determination.

Therefore, the game ball rolling on the upper part of the movable means is likely to enter the second ball-entering means and is difficult to enter the second special ball-entering means. On the other hand, in the second advantageous gaming state, the execution time of the third dynamic display may be longer than the time required for the game ball to fully roll on the upper portion of the movable means, and the movable means is not driven in the easy ball entry pattern. A game ball rolling on the upper part of the movable means does not enter the second ball entering means, but can enter the second special ball entering means. Thereby, whether or not the game ball enters the second special ball entering means when the second game result is derived is differentiated between the first derived result and the second derived result as the first game result. be able to. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

According to the gaming machine 13, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 17 or 18, the following effects are exhibited. That is, when the first game result is derived, the first special ball entering means is driven to allow the game ball to enter, and when the second game result is derived, the second special ball entering means is operated. is driven so that a game ball can be entered. The movable means is configured to be displaceable between a state in which a game ball can enter the second ball entering means and a state in which it is difficult to enter or impossible to enter. Here, the third ball-entering means different from the first ball-entering means and the second ball-entering means is configured so that the game ball launched by the launching means can enter. Then, based on the game ball entering the third ball entering means, the third information acquisition means acquires the third determination information, and the third determination information acquired by the third information acquisition means the third dynamic execution means executes the third dynamic display of the third identification information, and the drive means drives the movable means based on the execution result of the third dynamic execution means. . Here, at least in a state in which the game ball can enter the second ball entering means, the game ball can roll on the upper portion of the movable means by the protrusion rolling means provided in the movable means. Further, the drive means drives the movable means in a difficult-to-enter ball-entering pattern in which the game ball is difficult or impossible to enter into the second ball-entering means in a predetermined game state, while the rolling means when protruded in the game state. The movable means is driven in a ball-enterable pattern that allows the game ball to enter the second ball-entering means. A first right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the first judgment means, and a second right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the second judgment means. Here, the first value is stored in the first value storage means, but the second value is not stored, and the first value and the second value are stored in the second value storage means. The game ball that has flowed into the second special ball entering means can be entered by the fourth ball entering means provided in the second special ball entering means, and the game ball enters the second ball entering means. The first game value is configured to be imparted when the game is played. That is, in the win/fail judgment by the first judging means, the second value is not stored in the first win/fail storage means, but the first value is stored. It becomes a playfulness whether you get it or not. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first game result is derived to obtain the first game value, or The second game result is derived, and the game ball is entered into the fourth ball entering means to obtain the first game value. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the second determination means can be made different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

That is, in the second correctness storage means, the derivation probability of the second value is higher than the derivation probability of the first value. As a result, the second game result based on the extraction of the second value in the determination by the second determination means is configured to occur more often than the first game result and the like. Therefore, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made clearly different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be enriched and the interest of the game can be improved.

<Second group: absorbs the jackpot increase due to setting changes from many other random numbers>
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a game machine such as a pachinko machine, a game medium such as a game ball is shot toward a game area provided on a game board, and the game ball enters one of a plurality of ball entrances provided in the game area. A lottery is performed based on the entry of a ball, and when winning in an advantageous state such as winning in the lottery, the normally closed variable ball entry means is opened and a predetermined game value is given to the player. is provided (for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-148264)).

However, in the gaming machine described above, there is still room for improvement, although it is necessary to improve the interest in the game.

The second group of inventions has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a game machine capable of improving the interest of a game.

Determination information acquisition means (e.g., main controller 110) for acquiring determination information (e.g., the value of the jackpot random number counter C1) based on establishment of a predetermined start condition (e.g., winning the first start port 64a);
Determination means for determining the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means (for example, special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505)),
First game value giving means (for example, Large winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710));
Based on the fact that the second game result (for example, a small win) is derived by the determination means, a second game value that is different from the first game value (for example, a small win game) can be awarded to the player. Game value giving means (for example, small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714));
A gaming machine comprising setting means (for example, S4121 of setting change processing (S4005)) capable of changing the probability that the first game result is derived by the determination means,
Used for determination by the determination means, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result (for example, a big hit random number) and a second value corresponding to the second game result (for example, a small hit random number) And, a success or failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1),

A gaming machine 20 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 20, the judgment information acquisition means acquires the judgment information based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and the judgment information acquired by the judgment information acquisition means is judged by the judgment means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value provision means may award a predetermined first game value to the player, and the determination means may determine the second game result. is derived, a predetermined second game value may be awarded to the player by the second game value provision means. Further, the probability of deriving the first game result by the determination means is configured to be changeable by the setting means. Here, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored in the win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means. Further, when the judgment information acquisition means extracts the judgment information which is the third value other than the first value or the second value, the judgment means does not give the game value to the player. Depending on the setting value set by the setting means, the probability of derivation of the first value is stored in the right/wrong storage means so that the probability of derivation of the first value may differ. As the derivation probability is changed, the derivation probability of the second value or the third value, whichever is higher, is changed by the determination information obtaining means. As a result, depending on the set value, the first value for giving the game value to the player and the derivation probability of the combination with a high derivation probability are provided with an intonation (contrast), thereby enriching the variation of the game and enhancing the interest of the game. There is an effect that improvement can be achieved.

In the gaming machine 20,
The validity storage means is
Any setting value set by the setting means is configured not to change the derivation probability of the value with the lower derivation probability (for example, even if the setting value is changed, the small hit random value number)
A gaming machine 21 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 21, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 20, the following effects are exhibited. In other words, regardless of the set value set by the setting means, the success/fail storage means is configured so that the derivation probability of the value with the lower derivation probability is not changed. That is, even if the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, the derivation probability of the value with the higher derivation probability is changed without changing the derivation probability of the value with the lower derivation probability. configured to allow By configuring in this way, it is possible to prevent the player from seeing through the setting value of the gaming machine from the appearance rate of the combination corresponding to the value with the low appearance rate. Therefore, the setting determination elements are limited, for example, the ratio of the number of balls obtained when the player continuously plays the pachinko machine (the number of payout balls (safe ball number) divided by the number of out balls) So-called machine division (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout ratio") is set to a low value (i.e., a set value of "1", etc.) so that the player is unlikely to see through the setting, and the game is played. There is an effect that the operation can be continued and the operation of the gaming machine can be improved.

In gaming machine 20 or 21,
The value with the high derivation probability is
At a first setting value (for example, setting value "1") having the lowest derivation probability of the first value, a second setting value (for example, setting value) having the highest derivation probability of the first value from the first setting value A game machine 2 characterized in that the increment of the first value in "6") is provided.

According to the gaming machine 22, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 20 or 21, the following effects are exhibited. That is, at the setting value with the lowest derivation probability of the first value, a value with a high appearance probability is provided by the increment of the first value at the setting value with the highest derivation probability of the first value from that setting value. As a result, all the first values that are changed by setting changes can be changed from values with high derivation probabilities. Therefore, since a value with a low derivation probability (a small number) is not changed for each setting, the setting value of the gaming machine is not overlooked by the player from the appearance rate of the combination corresponding to the value with the low derivation probability. be able to. Therefore, by limiting the discriminating element of the setting, for example, even if the setting is low (i.e., the set value is "1", etc.), it is difficult for the player to detect the setting, and the game is continued. There is an effect that the operation can be improved.

In any of gaming machines 20 to 22,
The value with the high derivation probability is
A game machine 23 characterized by being the third value.

According to the gaming machine 23, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 20 to 22, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the third value is provided as a value with a high derivation probability. That is, the derivation probability of the third value is set higher than the derivation probability of the second value.

Conventionally, in order to install a game machine in a game hall, it is necessary to pass a certification test conducted by the competent authority and to obtain approval to show that the game machine is within the prescribed range. Therefore, when designing game specifications, game machine developers can pass the certification test and obtain approval for the ball payout rate for all setting values of the game machine. It is necessary to distribute the first value and the second value so that the derivation probability of the first value and the second value in the determination means becomes an appropriate value.

However, in a game machine in which setting values can be changed, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed in accordance with the setting change, if the derivation probability of the second value is changed, the first value is changed for each setting value. and the second game value based on the derivation probability of the second value. The calculation of the ball rate becomes complicated, and there is a possibility that the number of man-hours in designing the game specifications increases.

Therefore, according to the gaming machine 23, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, only the derivation probability of the third value is changed, and the derivation probability of the second value is not changed. do. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the winning probability of the first game value. There is an effect that it is possible to suppress an increase in man-hours when designing specifications.

In any of game machines 20 to 23,
The validity storage means is
At least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table with set values "1" to "3") in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each of the set values set by the setting means 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
The game machine 24 is characterized in that the probability of derivation of the first value increases evenly when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 24, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 20 to 23, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to uniformly increase the derivation probability of the first value. As a result, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value that increases stepwise and evenly, and the ball payout rate can be calculated. There is an effect that it is possible to simplify and suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In addition, "equally increasing" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases by the same value (e.g., 1%) from the derivation probability one step lower, or if the derivation probability one step lower A case of increasing by the same percentage (for example, 5%) is exemplified.

In any of game machines 20 to 23,
The validity storage means is
At least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table with set values "1" to "3") in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each of the set values set by the setting means 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
The gaming machine 25 is characterized in that the probability of derivation of the first value increases at a predetermined rate when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 25, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 20 to 23, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the setting value is changed in stages by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to increase the derivation probability of the first value at a predetermined rate. As a result, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value that increases step by step and at a predetermined rate, thereby calculating the ball payout rate. is simplified, and an increase in man-hours at the time of designing game specifications can be suppressed.

Note that "increase at a predetermined rate" means, for example, a case where the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases proportionally (for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, ...), or exponentially (For example, a case where the set value "1" is used as a reference is increased by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.).

In any of game machines 20 to 25,
The validity storage means is
storing the first value as a series of values;
A gaming machine 26 characterized in that it is configured such that when the set value is changed by the setting means, the continuous range of the first value is changed.

According to the gaming machine 26, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 20 to 25, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means stores the first values as continuous values. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the continuous range of the first value is changed. As a result, the determination means can determine the first game value by determining the range from the beginning to the end of the first value. Therefore, even when the setting value is changed by the setting means, it is not necessary to judge each changed first value in the right/wrong judgment, and the value to be judged is from the beginning of the first value. This can be done by judging whether or not it is included up to the end. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the processing load in the suitability determination.

In any of game machines 20 to 25,
The validity storage means is
storing the first value as a non-consecutive value;

That is, the first value is stored as a discontinuous value by the success/failure storage means. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the number of discontinuous first values is changed. As a result, although it is necessary to determine the first game value by the determination means by determining whether the individual first values match, it is possible to make it difficult to grasp the position (arrangement) of the first value in the success/failure storage means. . Therefore, by making it difficult for the player to grasp the position (arrangement) of the first value, the illegal derivation of the first game value can be suppressed, and the security performance of the gaming machine can be enhanced. be.

The second value is stored such that the probability of derivation of the second game result by the second determination means (for example, 94%) is the same for all set values set by the setting means. Playing machine 28.

According to the gaming machine 28, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 20 to 27, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the game ball is shot by the shooting means, the game ball shot by the shooting means can enter the first ball-entering means, and the game ball shot by the shooting means is the first ball-entering means. A second ball entering means different from the second ball entering means is configured to be capable of entering a ball. Then, based on the game ball entering the first ball entering means, the first information acquisition means provided in the determination information acquisition means acquires the first determination information, which is the determination information, The second determination information, which is the determination information, is acquired by the second information acquisition means provided in the determination information acquisition means based on the game ball entering the second ball entry means. The first determination information acquired by the first information acquisition means is determined by the first determination means provided in the determination means, and the second determination information acquired by the second information acquisition means is provided in the determination means. determined by the second determining means. Here, at one predetermined set value set by the setting means, the success/failure storage means is stored so that the derivation probabilities of the first game result by the first determination means and the second determination means are equal. While the first value is stored, at the predetermined set value set by the setting means, the derivation probability of the second game result by the second determination means is higher than the derivation probability of the second game result by the first determination means. Then, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means. In addition, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means so that the probabilities of deriving the second game result by the first determination means are the same for all set values set by the setting means. In addition, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means so that the probability of derivation of the second game result by the second determination means is equal for all the set values set by the setting means. . As a result, the ball payout rate for each set value and each piece of determination information is calculated based on the increase in the derivation probability of the first game value in the first determination means and the second determination means due to the setting change and the first determination means. It is possible to calculate by considering the change in the derivation probability of the second game result in the second determination means, simplify the calculation of the ball payout rate, and suppress the increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications. It has the effect of being able to

In the game machine 28,
The first game value imparting means is
From a predetermined gaming state (for example, "normal gaming state") before granting the first game value, to an advantageous gaming state different from the predetermined gaming state after granting the first gaming value (eg, "super-probability fluctuation state" or A game state changing means (for example, jackpot end processing (S5712)) for changing the game state to “probability fluctuation state”),
The predetermined gaming state is
Since the game ball is easier to enter the first ball entering means than the second ball entering means, it is easier to acquire the first determination information than the second determination information,
The advantageous gaming state is
The game ball is easily entered into the second ball entering means by the first ball entering means, so that the second determination information is more easily obtained than the first determination information. Game machine 29.

According to the gaming machine 29, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 28, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the game state is changed from a predetermined game state before giving the first game value to an advantageous game state different from the predetermined game state after the first game value is given by the game state changing means provided in the first game value giving means. Be changed. In the predetermined game state, the game ball is more likely to enter the first ball entering means than the second ball entering means, so that the first determination information is more likely to be acquired than the second determination information, and in the advantageous game state, The game ball is more likely to enter the second ball entering means than the first entering means, so that the second determination information is more likely to be acquired than the first determination information. As a result, the calculation of the ball payout rate for each set value, each determination information, and each game state can be combined with the increase in the derivation probability of the first game value in the first determination means and the second determination means due to the setting change. By considering the change in the derivation probability of the second game result between the first determination means and the second determination means, and the determination information that is easily acquired for each game state, it is possible to perform a rough calculation, and the output There is an effect that it is possible to simplify the calculation of the ball rate and suppress an increase in the number of man-hours when designing the game specifications.

In gaming machine 28 or 29,
First dynamic display executing means (for example, first special Execution of dynamic display of symbols);
Second dynamic display executing means (for example, second special symbol execution of dynamic display of) and
The display means is
The first dynamic display by the first dynamic display execution means and the second dynamic display by the second dynamic display execution means can be executed in parallel (simultaneously). Game machine 210.

According to the gaming machine 210, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 28 or 29, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the first dynamic display execution means executes the first dynamic display of the first identification information on the display means based on the determination result of the first determination means. Further, based on the determination result of the second determination means, the second dynamic display execution means executes the second dynamic display of the second identification information different from the first identification information on the display means. Then, the display means is configured so that the first dynamic display by the first dynamic display execution means and the second dynamic display by the second dynamic display execution means can be executed in parallel (simultaneously).

Conventionally, in a game machine capable of parallel (simultaneous) execution of the first dynamic display of the first identification information and the second dynamic display of the second identification information, the execution time etc. for each dynamic display has been considered. It is necessary to calculate the ball payout rate, and if the ball payout rate, etc. in the first game result and the second game result are combined for each set value and calculated, the number of man-hours at the time of designing the game specifications becomes enormous. There is a risk that it will be lost.

Therefore, according to the gaming machine 210, in a gaming machine capable of parallel (simultaneous) progress of the first dynamic display and the second dynamic display, the derivation probability of the second game result in the first determination means is set to the set value In addition, the derivation probability of the second game result in the second determination means is also configured not to change for each set value. By configuring in this way, it is possible to calculate the ball payout rate for each set value by considering only the change in the derivation probability of the first game result, and dynamically (simultaneously) There is an effect that it is possible to simplify the calculation of the ball payout rate even in a gaming machine capable of executing display, and to suppress an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In the game machine 2 10,
The first determination means is

According to the gaming machine 2 11, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 2 10, the following effects are exhibited. That is, in a situation where the second game result can be derived in the first dynamic display by the first dynamic display execution means, the second dynamic display is being executed by the second dynamic display execution means, and the second dynamic display is being executed. When the first game result or the second game result can be derived in the second dynamic display and the execution time of the second dynamic display is longer than the execution time of the first dynamic display, the first determination means A game result other than the first game result or the second game result in the second dynamic display is derived by the provided result changing means. Thus, during the awarding of the second game value based on the second game result by the first dynamic display, the first game is awarded based on the first game result by the second dynamic display, or based on the second game result. It is possible to prevent the second game value from being given, and to prevent excessive payout of the game value to the player due to duplicated first game value or second game value. , has the effect of In addition, since there is no need to consider the overlapping first game value or second game value when calculating the ball payout rate, the calculation of the ball payout rate is facilitated, and an increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications is reduced. There is an effect that it can be suppressed.

Then, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means. In addition, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means so that the probabilities of deriving the second game result by the first determination means are the same for all set values set by the setting means. In addition, the second value is stored in the success/failure storage means so that the probability of derivation of the second game result by the second determination means is equal for all the set values set by the setting means. .

The movable means is configured to be displaceable between a state in which a game ball can enter the second ball entering means and a state in which it is difficult to enter or impossible to enter. Here, the third ball-entering means different from the first ball-entering means and the second ball-entering means is configured so that the game ball launched by the launching means can enter.

The means drives the movable means in a ball-enterable pattern in which the game ball can enter the second ball-entering means. A first right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the first judgment means, and a second right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the second judgment means. Here, the first value is stored in the first value storage means, but the second value is not stored, and the first value and the second value are stored in the second value storage means. The game ball that has flowed into the second special ball entering means can be entered by the fourth ball entering means provided in the second special ball entering means, and the game ball enters the second ball entering means. The first game value is configured to be imparted when the game is played. That is, in the win/fail judgment by the first judging means, the second value is not stored in the first win/fail storage means, but the first value is stored. It becomes a playfulness whether you get it or not. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first game result is derived to obtain the first game value, or The second game result is derived, and the game ball is entered into the fourth ball entering means to obtain the first game value. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made different.

Therefore, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made clearly different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

<Fourth group: When there are multiple roles other than the big win, both the big win and the small win are increased, and the increased amount is compensated from the other roles>
In gaming machines such as conventional pachinko machines, the ratio of the number of balls (number of payout balls (safe balls) divided by the number of out balls) obtained when the player continuously plays the game on the pachinko machine. So-called machine division (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout rate") is provided in a plurality of stages, and any one of the set values corresponding to the ball payout rate desired by a hall official or the like is set. After the machine is powered on and before the player starts playing (before the game hall opens), there are some that can be set (changed or updated) by the persons involved in the hall. Then, when a player plays a game on the pachinko machine, a winning lottery is performed based on the set value, thereby allowing the player to play the game with a ball output rate corresponding to the set value. is possible (for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-109085)).

However, in the gaming machine described above, there is still room for improvement in this regard, although it is necessary to improve the interest in the game.

The fourth group of inventions has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a game machine capable of improving the interest of a game.

A gaming machine 40 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 40, the determination information acquisition means acquires the determination information based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means is determined by the determination means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value provision means may award a predetermined first game value to the player, and the determination means may determine the second game result. is derived, a predetermined second game value may be awarded to the player by the second game value provision means. Further, both the probability of deriving the first game result by the determining means and the probability of deriving the second game result by the determining means are changeable by the setting means. Here, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored in the win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means. Further, when the judgment information acquisition means extracts the judgment information which is the third value other than the first value or the second value, the judgment means does not give the game value to the player. Then, depending on the set value set by the setting means, the success/failure storage means stores such that the derivation probability of the first value and the derivation probability of the second value may differ, and the setting value is changed by the setting means. In this case, the derivation probability of the third value is changed as the derivation probability of the first value and the derivation probability of the second value are changed. As a result, depending on the setting value, the derivation probabilities of the first value and the second value that give the game value to the player and the third value that does not give the game value to the player are varied. There is an effect that it is possible to improve the interest of the game by enriching the variations of the game.

In the gaming machine 40,
The third value is
At a first setting value (for example, setting value "1") at which the probability of deriving the first value and the second value is the lowest, the probability of deriving the first value and the second value from the first setting value is the highest. The game machine 41 is characterized in that it is provided with an increase in the first value and the second value at a high second set value (for example, set value "6").

According to the gaming machine 41, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 40, the following effects are exhibited. That is, at the first setting value with the lowest derivation probability of the first value and the second value, the first value and the second value at the second setting value with the highest derivation probability of the first value and the second value from the first setting value. A third value is provided for the increment of the two values. As a result, the increment associated with the derivation probability of the first value and the derivation probability of the second value that are changed by changing the settings can all be changed from the third value. Therefore, since both the appearance rate of the first game result and the appearance rate of the second game result change for each setting, it is difficult to cause a setting difference between the appearance rate of the first game result and the appearance rate of the second game result. , it is possible to make it difficult to determine the setting from the comparison between the appearance rate of the first game result and the appearance rate of the second game result. As a result, it is difficult for the player to perceive the setting of the gaming machine by limiting the discriminating element of the setting, and even if the setting of the game machine is low (i.e., the setting value is "1", etc.), the player can set the setting. There is an effect that the operation of the game machine can be improved by making it difficult to be detected and allowing the game to continue.

In gaming machine 40 or 41,
The validity storage means is
At least three levels of stepwise right/wrong storage means (for example, set values "1" to "3 "Special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
When the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the derivation probability of the first value, the derivation probability of the second value, or the derivation probabilities of the first value and the second value are equal. A gaming machine 42 characterized in that it is configured to increase to .

According to the gaming machine 42, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 40 or 41, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the derivation probability of the first value and the derivation probability of the second value are different for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means stores the derivation probability of the first value, the derivation probability of the second value, or the derivation of the first value and the second value. The probabilities are arranged to increase evenly. As a result, the ball payout rate for each set value can be calculated by considering the increase in the winning probability of the first game value and/or the winning probability of the second game value, which increase stepwise and evenly. This has the effect of simplifying the calculation of the payout rate and suppressing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In addition, "increase evenly" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases by the same value (for example, 1%) from the derivation probability one step lower, or if the derivation probability one step lower A case of increasing by the same percentage (for example, 5%) is exemplified.

In gaming machine 40 or 41,
The validity storage means is
At least three levels of stepwise right/wrong storage means (for example, set values "1" to "3 "Special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
When the set value is changed stepwise by the setting means, the derivation probability of the first value, the derivation probability of the second value, or the derivation probabilities of the first value and the second value are predetermined. A gaming machine 43 characterized by being configured to increase at a rate.

According to the gaming machine 43, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 40 or 41, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the first value derivation probability and the second value derivation probability are different for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means stores the derivation probability of the first value, the derivation probability of the second value, or the derivation of the first value and the second value. A probability is configured to increase at a predetermined rate. Thereby, the ball output rate for each set value is calculated by considering only the increase in the winning probability of the first game value and/or the winning probability of the second game value, which increase step by step and at a predetermined rate. This makes it possible to simplify the calculation of the ball payout rate, and has the effect of suppressing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

<Five groups: If there are multiple roles other than the jackpot, the jackpot increase is compensated from each role other than the jackpot>
In gaming machines such as conventional pachinko machines, the ratio of the number of balls obtained when the player continuously plays the pachinko machine (the number of payout balls (safe ball number) divided by the number of out balls) A plurality of set values are provided with different values (so-called machine division, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout rate"), and any one of the set values corresponding to the ball payout rate desired by hall personnel and the like is set. , after the pachinko machine is powered on and before the game is started by the player (before the game hall is opened), settings (changes, updates) can be made by those involved in the hall. Then, when a player plays a game on the pachinko machine, a winning lottery is performed based on the set value, thereby allowing the player to play the game with a ball output rate corresponding to the set value. is possible (for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-109085)).

Specifically, for example, a game that can draw a first combination with a high gaming value (eg, a jackpot game) and a second combination with a lower gaming value than the first combination (eg, a small winning game) In the machine, the value of the random number counter whose value is updated within a predetermined range is acquired based on the start winning, and the value of the acquired random number counter is determined by referring to the determination table provided for each set value. Some games are configured to perform a lottery for winning the 1st hand or the 2nd hand. In this determination table, the number of first random numbers corresponding to the first winning combination, the number of second random numbers corresponding to the second winning combination, and the number of random numbers corresponding to the third winning combination to which no game value is awarded (for example, losing) are displayed. The number of numerical values is distributed (regulated) so that it differs for each set value. Some machines are configured such that the higher the set value, the more advantageous the ball-out rate is for the player.

Here, in order to install a game machine in a game hall, it is necessary to pass a certification test conducted by the competent authorities and to obtain approval indicating that the game machine is within the prescribed range. For this reason, when designing game specifications, game machine developers must ensure that all settings of the game machine have a ball output rate that can be certified by the certification test in order to pass the certification test and obtain approval. Thus, it is necessary to distribute the first random value and the second random value in the judging means.

However, in a game machine in which the setting value can be changed, when the derivation probability of the first random number value is changed in accordance with the setting change, if the configuration is such that compensation is made from a fixed predetermined random number value of 1, the first random number A predetermined number of random numbers must be secured for the change in the derivation probability of the numerical value, which restricts the design of the game specifications, lowers the degree of freedom in designing the game specifications, and reduces the interest of the game. There is a risk that it will be lost.

The fifth group of inventions has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a game machine capable of improving the interest of a game.

That is, in the win/fail judgment by the first judging means, the second value is not stored in the first win/fail storage means, but the first value is stored. It becomes a playfulness whether you get it or not. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first game result is derived to obtain the first game value, or The second game result is derived, and the game ball is entered into the fourth ball entering means to obtain the first game value. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the second determination means can be made different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

According to the gaming machine 512, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 511, the following effects are exhibited. That is, in the second correctness storage means, the derivation probability of the second value is higher than the derivation probability of the first value. As a result, the second game result based on the extraction of the second value in the determination by the second determination means is configured to occur more often than the first game result and the like. Therefore, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made clearly different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

<Sixth group: Procure the jackpot increase from the role with the lowest profit, and if it runs out, procure from the role with the next lowest profit>
In gaming machines such as conventional pachinko machines, the ratio of the number of balls obtained when the player continuously plays the pachinko machine (the number of payout balls (safe ball number) divided by the number of out balls) A plurality of set values are provided with different values (so-called mechanized division, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout ratio"), and any one of the set values corresponding to the ball payout rate desired by hall personnel and the like is set. In some cases, after the pachinko machine is powered on and before the player starts playing (before the game hall opens), settings (changes and updates) can be made by those involved in the hall. Then, when a player plays a game on the pachinko machine, a winning lottery is performed based on the set value so that the player can play the game with a ball payout rate according to the set value. is possible (for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-109085)).

Specifically, for example, a game that can draw a first combination with a high gaming value (eg, a jackpot game) and a second combination with a lower gaming value than the first combination (eg, a small winning game) In the machine, the value of the random number counter whose value is updated within a predetermined range is acquired based on the start winning, and the value of the acquired random number counter is determined by referring to the determination table provided for each set value. Some games are configured to perform a lottery for winning the 1st hand or the 2nd hand. In this determination table, the number of first random numbers corresponding to the first winning combination, the number of second random numbers corresponding to the second winning combination, and the number of random numbers corresponding to the third winning combination to which no game value is awarded (for example, losing) are displayed. The number of numerical values is distributed (regulated) so that it differs for each set value. Some machines are configured such that the higher the set value, the more advantageous the ball-out rate is for the player.

Here, in order to install a game machine in a game hall, it is necessary to pass a certification test conducted by the competent authority and to obtain approval indicating that the game machine is within the prescribed range. For this reason, when designing game specifications, game machine developers must ensure that all settings of the game machine have a ball output rate that can be certified by the certification test in order to pass the certification test and obtain approval. , it is necessary to distribute the numbers of the first random numbers and the numbers of the second random numbers in the judging means.

However, in a game machine in which the setting value can be changed, when the number of the first random number values is changed in accordance with the setting change, if the configuration is such that compensation is made from the fixed number of predetermined random number values of 1, the first A predetermined number of random numbers must be secured for the change in the number of random numbers, which restricts the design of the game specifications, lowers the degree of freedom in designing the game specifications, and reduces the enjoyment of the game. There is a risk that it will be lost.

The sixth group of inventions has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a game machine capable of improving the interest of the game.

Determination information acquisition means (e.g., main controller 110) for acquiring determination information (e.g., the value of the jackpot random number counter C1) based on establishment of a predetermined starting condition (e.g., winning a prize to the first start port 64a);
Determination means for determining the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means (for example, special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S5505)),
First game value giving means (for example, Large winning opening opening/closing control process (S5710));
Based on the fact that the second game result (for example, a small win) is derived by the determination means, a second game value that is different from the first game value (for example, a small win game) can be awarded to the player. Game value giving means (for example, small winning opening opening/closing control process (S5714));
A gaming machine comprising setting means (for example, S4121 of setting change processing (S4005)) capable of changing the probability that the first game result is derived by the determination means,
Used for determination by the determination means, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result (for example, a big hit random number) and a second value corresponding to the second game result (for example, a small hit random number) And, a success or failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1),
The determination means is
A game value is not awarded to a player when the determination information acquiring means extracts the determination information that is a third value other than the first value or the second value (for example, a random number value that fails). configured,
The validity storage means is
stored so that the derivation probability of the first value may differ depending on the setting value set by the setting means;
The determination information acquisition means is
A third change pattern (for example, set value "1") in which the derivation probability of the third value is changed in accordance with the change of the derivation probability of the first value when the setting value is changed by the setting means. to "3" as the jackpot random number increases), and a second change pattern in which the derivation probability of the second value is changed (for example, the set value "4" to "6" is a big hit The game machine 60 is characterized in that it is configured so as to decrease the small winning random number value as the random number value increases.

According to the gaming machine 60, the determination information acquisition means acquires the determination information based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means is determined by the determination means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value giving means provides the player with a predetermined first game value, and the determination means derives the second game result. Based on this, the predetermined second game value is given to the player by the second game value giving means. Further, the probability of deriving the first game result by the determination means is configured to be changeable by the setting means. Here, a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored in win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means. Further, when the judgment information acquiring means extracts judgment information that is a third value other than the first value or the second value, the judging means does not give the game value to the player. Then, depending on the set value set by the setting means, the probability of derivation of the first value is stored in the right/wrong storage means so that the probability of derivation of the first value may differ, and when the set value is changed by the setting change means, and a second change pattern in which the derivation probability of the second value is changed. This makes it possible to compensate for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change by changing the derivation probability of the second value or the derivation probability of the third value. Therefore, the change in the derivation probability of the predetermined random number value can be realized by changing the derivation probability of a plurality of random number values. , there is an effect that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

In the game machine 60,
The determination information acquisition means is
By changing the derivation probability of the third value according to the third change pattern when the setting means changes the set value that is most disadvantageous to the player to the set value that is one step more advantageous to the player, A game machine 61 characterized by changing the number of first values.

According to the gaming machine 61, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 60, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the determination information acquisition means changes the derivation probability of the third value according to the third change pattern when the set value most disadvantageous to the player is changed to a set value one step more advantageous to the player by the setting means. This changes the number of first values. That is, when the set value most disadvantageous to the player becomes a set value one step more advantageous to the player, the derivation probability of the third value is changed as the number of first values is changed.

The game information corresponding to the third value stored in the winning/failing storage means (for example, a winning combination) is output to the outside of the gaming machine, for example, a data lamp or the like that allows the player to refer to the game history. Unlike the first game result and the second game result which are clearly (largely) displayed in the , there are cases where the data lamp (not shown) is not clearly (largely) displayed.

Here, as a result of changing the derivation probability of the first value by changing the setting, it is assumed that the number of second values corresponding to the second game results clearly (largely) displayed on the data lamp is changed. In the case, the relationship in which the appearance rate of the first game result and the second game result is relatively changed for each setting (for example, the higher the setting, the higher the probability of the jackpot game, while the probability of the small win game , etc.), the player glances (confirms) the appearance results of the first game result and the second game result with the data lamp, thereby increasing factors for guessing the setting contents of the gaming machine. put away. As a result, for example, if the player sees through the setting of the gaming machine that is set to a low setting (for example, the set value "1"), the player does not play the game on the gaming machine. There is a possibility that the operation will decrease.

Therefore, according to the gaming machine 61, when the set value that is most disadvantageous to the player becomes a set value that is one step more advantageous to the player, the derivation probability of the third value is changed as the derivation probability of the first value is changed. be changed. That is, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, the modified value is changed from the third value. By configuring in this way, at the most unfavorable set value for the player, or at the set value that is one step more advantageous to the player from the most unfavorable set value (so-called low setting), the setting determination element by the player is set to the first. It is possible to make it difficult to see through the setting value of the gaming machine from the appearance rate of the second game result only with the appearance rate of the first game result. Therefore, by limiting the discriminating element of the setting, for example, even if the setting is low (i.e., the set value is "1", etc.), it is difficult for the player to detect the setting, and the game is continued. There is an effect that the operation can be improved.

In game machine 60 or 61,
The determination information acquisition means is
When the set value that is disadvantageous to the player is changed to the set value that is advantageous to the player by the setting means, and the third value is depleted (less), the second value is derived by the second change pattern. A game machine 62 characterized in that the derivation probability of the first value is changed by changing the probability.

According to the gaming machine 62, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 60 or 61, the following effects are exhibited. That is, in the determination information acquisition means, when the setting means changes from a disadvantageous setting value to an advantageous setting value for the player, when the third value is depleted (less), the second value is changed by the second change pattern. By changing the derivation probability of , the derivation probability of the first value is changed. That is, when the set value that is disadvantageous to the player changes to a set value that is advantageous, and the third value that can be changed first is depleted (small), the second value is changed along with the change in the derivation probability of the first value. Derivation probability is changed. As a result, it is possible to compensate for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change from the second value and/or the third value. Therefore, it can be realized by changing the derivation probability of a plurality of random numbers by the amount of the change in the derivation probability of the predetermined random number. There is an effect that the interest in the game can be improved.

In any of game machines 60 to 62,
The validity storage means is

The stepwise right/wrong storage means
The most disadvantageous first stage success/failure storage means for the player (for example, the special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 at the set value "1"),
Second stage success/failure storage means (for example, special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 at set value "3") more advantageous to the player than the first stage success/failure storage means;
A third stage success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table 272a1 at the set value "6") that is more advantageous to the player than the second stage success/failure storage means,
The second step right/fail storage means

That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the probability of derivation of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. As the stepwise success/failure storage means, a first stage success/failure storage means which is most disadvantageous to the player, a second stage success/failure storage means which is more advantageous to the player than the first stage success/failure storage means, and a second stage success/failure storage means. A third stage win/fail storage means is provided which is more advantageous to the player than the storage means. Here, the second-stage right/fail storage means has a higher probability of deriving the first value than the first-stage right/fail storage means, while the first-stage right/failure storage means and the second-value derivation probability are equal to each other. Further, the third-stage right/wrong storage means has a higher probability of derivation of the first value than the second-stage right/wrong storage means, but a lower probability of derivation of the second value. That is, in the second-stage success/failure storage means, the derivation probability of the first value is higher than that of the first-stage success/failure storage means, and the derivation probability of the second value is set to be the same. Further, the second-stage success/failure storage means has a high derivation probability of the first value and a low derivation probability of the second value compared to the second-stage success/failure storage means. Thus, by compensating for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change from the second value and/or the third value, the change in the derivation probability of the first value is fixed to 1. It becomes unnecessary to compensate from the predetermined random value of . Therefore, it can be realized by changing the derivation probability of a plurality of random numbers by the amount of the change in the derivation probability of the predetermined random number. There is an effect that the interest in the game can be improved.

In any of game machines 60 to 63,

That is, at the first set value with the lowest derivation probability of the first value, the increment of the first value at the second set value with the highest derivation probability of the first value from the first set value, the second value and the third A value is provided. As a result, by compensating for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change from the second value and the third value, the change in the first value can be changed from the predetermined fixed random value of 1. No need to refill. Therefore, since it is not necessary to secure the derivation probability of the predetermined random number from the predetermined random number of 1 for the change of the first value, there is no restriction at the time of designing the game specifications, and the degree of freedom in designing the game specifications is increased. , there is an effect that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

That is, when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to uniformly increase the derivation probability of the first value. Also, the second value or the third value is configured to uniformly decrease as the derivation probability of the first value increases. As a result, the winning probability of the first game value increases stepwise and evenly, and the winning probability of the second game value decreases stepwise and evenly. Alternatively, it is possible to calculate by taking into account the decrease in the appearance probability of losing, which facilitates the calculation of the ball output rate and suppresses the increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications. There is

In addition, "equally increasing" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases by the same value (e.g., 1%) from the derivation probability one step lower, or if the derivation probability one step lower A case of increasing by the same percentage (for example, 5%) is exemplified.

In game machine 63 or 64,

A game machine 66 is characterized in that it is configured such that the second value or the third value decreases at a predetermined rate as the derivation probability of the first value increases.

According to the gaming machine 66, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 63 or 64, the following effects are exhibited. That is, when the set value is changed in stages by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to increase the derivation probability of the first value at a predetermined rate. Also, the second value or the third value is configured to decrease at a predetermined rate as the derivation probability of the first value increases. As a result, the ball output rate for each set value is calculated by dividing the winning probability of the first game value, which increases stepwise and at a predetermined rate, and the winning probability of the second game value, which decreases stepwise and at a predetermined rate. It is possible to calculate by considering the decrease or the decrease in the appearance probability of losing, simplifies the calculation of the ball output rate, and suppresses the increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications. has the effect of

Note that "increase at a predetermined rate" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases proportionally (for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, ...), or exponentially (For example, a case where the set value "1" is used as a reference is increased by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.).

That is, the success/failure storage means stores the first values as continuous values. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the range of continuous first values is changed. As a result, the determination means can determine the first game value by determining the range from the beginning to the end of the first value. Therefore, even when the set value is changed by the setting means, it is not necessary to judge each changed first value in the right/wrong judgment. This can be done by judging whether or not it is included up to the end. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the processing load in the suitability determination.

Here, the third ball-entering means different from the first ball-entering means and the second ball-entering means is configured so that the game ball launched by the launching means can enter. Then, based on the game ball entering the third ball entering means, the third information acquisition means acquires the third determination information, and the third determination information acquired by the third information acquisition means the third dynamic execution means executes the third dynamic display of the third identification information, and the drive means drives the movable means based on the execution result of the third dynamic execution means. .

The first game value can be given when the game is played. That is, in the win/fail judgment by the first judging means, the second value is not stored in the first win/fail storage means, but the first value is stored. It becomes a playfulness whether you get it or not. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first game result is derived to obtain the first game value, or The second game result is derived, and the game ball is entered into the fourth ball entering means to obtain the first game value. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made different.

A gaming machine 70 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 70, the determination information acquisition means acquires the determination information based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and the determination information acquired by the determination information acquisition means is determined by the determination means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value provision means may award a predetermined first game value to the player, and the determination means may determine the second game result. is derived, a predetermined second game value may be awarded to the player by the second game value provision means. Further, the probability of deriving the first game result by the determination means is configured to be changeable by the setting means. Here, the game ball is shot by the shooting means, the game ball shot by the shooting means can enter the first ball entering means, and the game ball shot by the shooting means is the first ball entering means. A ball is configured to be able to enter a second ball entering means different from the means. In addition, in the win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means, a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored. Further, when the judgment information acquisition means extracts the judgment information which is the third value other than the first value or the second value, the judgment means does not give the game value to the player. Then, based on the game ball entering the first ball entering means, the first information acquisition means provided in the determination information acquisition means acquires the first determination information, which is the determination information, The second determination information, which is the determination information, is acquired by the second information acquisition means provided in the determination information acquisition means based on the game ball entering the second ball entry means. The first determination information acquired by the first information acquisition means is determined by the first determination means provided in the determination means, and the second determination information acquired by the second information acquisition means is provided in the determination means. determined by the second determining means. Here, depending on the setting value set by the setting means, the probability of derivation of the first value may differ in the right/wrong storage means. Along with the change in the derivation probability of , the derivation probability of the value corresponding to the extraction combination that can be extracted by both the first determination means and the second determination means is changed. In other words, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed by changing the setting, it is possible to compensate from the derivation probability of the value corresponding to the extraction hand common to the first judging means and the second judging means. As a result, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, the extraction combination common to each determination means can be changed. It is possible to calculate by considering the change of the winning probability of one game value and the change of the appearance probability of the game value corresponding to the common extraction combination, and the calculation of the ball payout rate is simplified and the game is played. This has the effect of suppressing an increase in man-hours when designing specifications.

A second propriety storage means (for example, a special figure 2 jackpot random number table 272a2) used in the second determination means,
The first validity storage means and the second validity storage means are
A gaming machine 71 characterized by being configured to store at least the first value and the third value.

According to the gaming machine 71, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 70, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the first right/wrong memory means as the right/wrong memory means is used in the first judgment means, and the second right/wrong memory means as the right/wrong memory means is used in the second judgment means. Here, the first right/wrong memory means and the second right/wrong memory means are configured to store at least a first value and a third value. That is, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed by changing the setting, it is possible to compensate from the derivation probability of the value corresponding to the third value, which is the extraction combination common to the first judging means and the second judging means. . As a result, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed as a result of the setting change, the derivation probability of the third value, which is a common extraction combination in each determination means, can be changed. The ball payout rate can be calculated by considering the change in the winning probability of the first game value and the change in the appearance probability of the game value corresponding to the common extracted combination. can be easily calculated, and an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications can be suppressed.

In gaming machine 70 or 71,
The value corresponding to the extractor is
A second setting value (e.g., setting value) with the highest derivation probability of the first value from the first setting value (e.g., setting value "1") with the lowest derivation probability of the first value A gaming machine 72 characterized in that the increment of the first value in "6") is provided.

According to the gaming machine 72, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 70 or 71, the following effects are exhibited. That is, at the first set value with the lowest derivation probability of the first value, the increment of the first value at the second set value with the highest derivation probability of the first value from the first set value is the value corresponding to the winning hand. is provided. Thereby, the first value to be changed by changing the setting can be changed from the value corresponding to the common extraction combination. Therefore, the ball output rate for each set value can be calculated by considering the change in the winning probability of the first game value and the change in the appearance probability of the game value corresponding to the common extraction combination. This has the effect of simplifying the calculation of the payout rate and suppressing an increase in man-hours when designing game specifications.

In any of game machines 70 to 72,
The validity storage means is
At least three stages of stepwise success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table with set values "1" to "3") in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each of the set values set by the setting means 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
The game machine 73 is characterized in that the derivation probability of the first value increases evenly when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

According to the game machine 73, in addition to the effects of the game machines 70 to 72, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the probability of derivation of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the set value is changed in stages by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to uniformly increase the derivation probability of the first value. As a result, the ball payout rate for each set value is calculated by changing the winning probability of the first game value, which increases stepwise and evenly, and the change of the appearance probability of the game value corresponding to the common extraction hand. can be calculated by taking into account the above, the calculation of the payout rate is facilitated, and there is an effect that it is possible to suppress an increase in man-hours when designing the game specifications.

In addition, "equally increasing" means, for example, that the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases by the same value (e.g., 1%) from the derivation probability one step lower, or if the derivation probability one step lower A case of increasing by the same percentage (for example, 5%) is exemplified.

In any of game machines 70 to 72,
The validity storage means is
At least three stages of stepwise success/failure storage means (for example, a special figure 1 jackpot random number table with set values "1" to "3") in which the derivation probability of the first value differs for each of the set values set by the setting means 272a1),
The stepwise right/wrong storage means
The gaming machine 74 is characterized in that the probability of derivation of the first value increases at a predetermined rate when the set value is changed step by step by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 74, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 70 to 72, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means is provided with at least three levels of stepwise success/failure storage means in which the probability of derivation of the first value differs for each set value set by the setting means. Then, when the setting value is changed in stages by the setting means, the stepwise right/wrong storage means is configured to increase the derivation probability of the first value at a predetermined rate. As a result, the ball payout rate for each set value is calculated by changing the winning probability of the first game value, which increases stepwise and at a predetermined rate, and changing the appearance probability of the game value corresponding to the common extraction combination. It is possible to calculate by taking into consideration the minutes, and it is possible to simplify the calculation of the ball payout rate, and there is an effect that it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of man-hours when designing the game specifications.

Note that "increase at a predetermined rate" means, for example, a case where the derivation probability that increases for each set value increases proportionally (for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, ...), or exponentially (For example, a case where the set value "1" is used as a reference is increased by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.).

In any of game machines 70 to 74,
The validity storage means is
storing the first value as a series of values;
The game machine 75 is characterized in that the continuous range of the first value is changed when the set value is changed by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 75, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 70 to 74, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the success/failure storage means stores the first values as continuous values. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the range of continuous first values is changed. As a result, the determination means can determine the first game value by determining the range from the beginning to the end of the first value. Therefore, even when the set value is changed by the setting means, it is not necessary to judge each changed first value in the right/wrong judgment. This can be done by judging whether or not it is included up to the end. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the processing load in the suitability determination.

In any of game machines 70 to 74,
The validity storage means is
storing the first value as a non-consecutive value;
A gaming machine 76 characterized in that the number of non-successive first values is changed when the set value is changed by the setting means.

According to the gaming machine 76, in addition to the effects of the gaming machines 70 to 74, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the first value is stored as a discontinuous value by the success/failure storage means. Then, when the set value is changed by the setting means, the number of discontinuous first values is changed. As a result, although it is necessary to determine the first game value by the determination means by determining whether the individual first values match, it is possible to make it difficult to grasp the position (arrangement) of the first value in the success/failure storage means. . Therefore, by making it difficult for the player to grasp the position (arrangement) of the first value, the illegal derivation of the first game value can be suppressed, and the security performance of the gaming machine can be enhanced. be.

In game machines 70 to 76,
The first game value imparting means is
From a predetermined gaming state (for example, "normal gaming state") before granting the first game value, to an advantageous gaming state different from the predetermined gaming state after granting the first gaming value (eg, "super-probability fluctuation state" or A game state changing means (for example, jackpot end processing (S5712)) for changing the game state to “probability fluctuation state”),
The predetermined gaming state is
Since the game ball is easier to enter the first ball entering means than the second ball entering means, it is easier to acquire the first determination information than the second determination information,
The advantageous gaming state is
The game ball is easily entered into the second ball entering means by the first ball entering means, so that the second determination information is more easily obtained than the first determination information. Game machine seven seven.

According to the gaming machine 77, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 76, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the game state is changed from a predetermined game state before giving the first game value to an advantageous game state different from the predetermined game state after the first game value is given by the game state changing means provided in the first game value giving means. Be changed. In the predetermined game state, the game ball is more likely to enter the first ball entering means than the second ball entering means, so that the first determination information is more likely to be acquired than the second determination information, and in the advantageous game state, The game ball is more likely to enter the second ball entering means than the first ball entering means, so that the second determination information is more likely to be acquired than the first determination information. As a result, the calculation of the ball payout rate for each set value, each determination information, and each game state can be combined with the increase in the derivation probability of the first game value in the first determination means and the second determination means due to the setting change. , it is possible to calculate by considering the change in the derivation probability of the second game result in the first determination means and the second determination means, and the determination information that is easily acquired for each game state. There is an effect that the calculation can be simplified and an increase in man-hours at the time of designing game specifications can be suppressed.

Second dynamic display executing means (for example, second special symbol execution of dynamic display of) and
The display means is
The first dynamic display by the first dynamic display execution means and the second dynamic display by the second dynamic display execution means can be executed in parallel (simultaneously). Game machine seven eight.

According to the gaming machine 78, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 77, the following effects are exhibited. That is, the first dynamic display execution means executes the first dynamic display of the first identification information on the display means based on the determination result of the first determination means. Further, based on the determination result of the second determination means, the second dynamic display execution means executes the second dynamic display of the second identification information different from the first identification information on the display means. Then, the display means is configured so that the first dynamic display by the first dynamic display execution means and the second dynamic display by the second dynamic display execution means can be executed in parallel (simultaneously).

Conventionally, in a game machine capable of parallel (simultaneous) execution of the first dynamic display of the first identification information and the second dynamic display of the second identification information, the execution time etc. for each dynamic display has been considered. It is necessary to calculate the ball payout rate, and if the ball payout rate, etc. in the first game result and the second game result are combined for each set value and calculated, the number of man-hours at the time of designing the game specifications becomes enormous. There is a risk that it will be lost.

The first game value can be given when the game is played. That is, in the win/fail judgment by the first judging means, the second value is not stored in the first win/fail storage means, but the first value is stored. It becomes a playfulness whether you get it or not. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first game result is derived to obtain the first game value, or The second game result is derived, and the game ball is entered into the fourth ball entering means to obtain the first game value. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the second determination means can be made different.

<Ninth Group: Different random values change depending on the setting>
In gaming machines such as conventional pachinko machines, the ratio of the number of balls obtained when the player continuously plays the pachinko machine (the number of payout balls (safe ball number) divided by the number of out balls) A plurality of set values are provided with different values (so-called mechanized division, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ball payout ratio"), and any one of the set values corresponding to the ball payout rate desired by hall personnel and the like is set. In some cases, after the pachinko machine is powered on and before the player starts playing (before the game hall opens), settings (changes and updates) can be made by those involved in the hall. Then, when a player plays a game on the pachinko machine, a winning lottery is performed based on the set value so that the player can play the game with a ball payout rate according to the set value. is possible (for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-109085)).

Specifically, for example, a game that can draw a first combination with a high gaming value (eg, a big win game) and a second combination with a lower gaming value than the first combination (eg, a small winning game) In the machine, the value of the random number counter whose value is updated within a predetermined range is acquired based on the start winning, and the value of the acquired random number counter is determined by referring to the determination table provided for each set value. Some games are configured to perform a lottery for winning the 1st hand or the 2nd hand. In this determination table, the number of first random numbers corresponding to the first winning combination, the number of second random numbers corresponding to the second winning combination, and the number of random numbers corresponding to the third winning combination to which no game value is awarded (for example, losing) are displayed. The number of numerical values is distributed (regulated) so that it differs for each set value. Some machines are configured such that the higher the set value, the more advantageous the ball-out rate is for the player.

Here, for each gaming machine installed in the gaming hall, the number of wins of the first and second winning combinations to which the gaming value output from the gaming machine is given is tallied, and the tallied result is presented to the player. A data lamp is provided to informally display the data. A player who plays a game may check this data lamp before playing a game, and refers to the game history of the gaming machine on which he will play a game for that day or in the past according to the display contents of the data lamp. Guess the setting contents and select a game machine to play the game. In this case, if the setting content is a game result that can be easily discriminated (detected), the player selects a game on a gaming machine with good setting content (for example, setting value "6"), and selects a game with bad setting content. (For example, set value "1") By avoiding playing games on the gaming machine, the operation of the gaming machine with the bad settings may decrease, and the profit of the gaming hall may decrease.

The ninth group of inventions has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine in which the setting status of the gaming machine is difficult to grasp.

The validity storage means is
stored so that the derivation probability of the first value may differ depending on the setting value set by the setting means;
The determination information acquisition means is
When the set value is changed by the setting means, one of the derivation probability of the second value or the derivation probability of the third value is changed in accordance with the change of the derivation probability of the first value. (For example, if there is a setting to compensate for the increase in the jackpot random number due to the setting change from the losing random number, there is also a setting to compensate from the small winning random number)
A game machine 90 characterized by:

According to the gaming machine 90, the judgment information acquisition means acquires the judgment information based on the establishment of the predetermined starting condition, and the judgment information acquired by the judgment information acquisition means is judged by the judgment means. Then, based on the determination means deriving the first game result, the first game value provision means may award a predetermined first game value to the player, and the determination means may determine the second game result. is derived, a predetermined second game value may be awarded to the player by the second game value provision means. Further, the probability of deriving the first game result by the determination means is configured to be changeable by the setting means. Here, at least a first value corresponding to the first game result and a second value corresponding to the second game result are stored in the win/fail storage means used for determination by the determination means. Further, when the judgment information acquisition means extracts the judgment information which is the third value other than the first value or the second value, the judgment means does not give the game value to the player. Then, the success/failure storage means stores such that the derivation probability of the first value may vary depending on the setting value set by the setting means, and when the setting value is changed by the setting means, the first value As the derivation probability is changed, either one of the second value derivation probability and the third value derivation probability is changed by the determination information acquiring means. That is, when the derivation probability of the first value is changed due to the setting change, depending on the setting value, the derivation probability of the second value may be changed, and the derivation probability of the third value may be changed. configured as follows. By configuring in this way, it is possible to complicate the determination elements set by the player. Therefore, by limiting the discriminating element of the setting, for example, even if the ball output rate is low (i.e., set value "1", etc.), it is difficult for the player to detect the setting, and the game is continued. There is an effect that the operation can be improved.

A second special value lower than the first special value is awarded to the player by the second special value providing means based on the derivation of the second special game result. Further, based on the fact that the determining means derives a third special game result different from the first special game result or the second special game result, the third special value providing means provides the player with a third special value lower than the second special value. 3 Special value is given. Further, the setting means can change the probability of deriving the first special game result by the determining means. Here, in the success/failure storage means used for determination by the determination means, a first value corresponding to the first special game result, a second value corresponding to the second special game result, and a second value corresponding to the third special game result Three values are stored.

Derivation probabilities are changed. That is, when the set value most disadvantageous to the player becomes a set value one step more advantageous to the player, the derivation probability of the third value is changed as the derivation probability of the first value is changed. As a result, the third value with the lowest game value for the player is derived along with the change in the derivation probability of the first value by changing the set value that is most disadvantageous to the player to the set value that is one step more advantageous for the player. Configure to change probabilities. By configuring in this way, the derivation probabilities of the first special game result and the third special game result can be improved at the set value that is most disadvantageous to the player and the set value that is one step more advantageous for the player from the set value.

By doing so, the derivation probability of the first value is changed. That is, when the set value that is disadvantageous to the player changes to a set value that is advantageous, and the third value that can be changed first is depleted (small), the second value is changed along with the change in the derivation probability of the first value.

A third stage win/fail storage means is provided which is more advantageous to the player than the storage means. Here, the second-stage right/fail storage means has a higher probability of deriving the first value than the first-stage right/fail storage means, while the first-stage right/failure storage means and the second-value derivation probability are equal to each other. Further, the third-stage right/wrong storage means has a higher probability of derivation of the first value than the second-stage right/wrong storage means, but a lower probability of derivation of the second value. That is, in the second-stage success/failure storage means, the derivation probability of the first value is higher than that of the first-stage success/failure storage means, and the derivation probability of the second value is set to be the same. Further, the second-stage success/failure storage means has a high derivation probability of the first value and a low derivation probability of the second value compared to the second-stage success/failure storage means. Thus, by compensating for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change from the second value and/or the third value, the change in the derivation probability of the first value is fixed to 1. It becomes unnecessary to compensate from the predetermined random value of . Therefore, it can be realized by changing the derivation probability of a plurality of random numbers by the amount of the change in the derivation probability of the predetermined random number value. , there is an effect that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

As a result, by compensating for the change in the derivation probability of the first value based on the setting change from the second value and the third value, the change in the first value can be changed from the predetermined fixed random value of 1. No need to refill. Therefore, since it is not necessary to secure the derivation probability of the predetermined random number from the predetermined random number of 1 for the change of the first value, there is no restriction at the time of designing the game specifications, and the degree of freedom in designing the game specifications is increased. , there is an effect that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Then, when the first special value is awarded based on the predetermined first derivation result as the first special game result, the game state is changed to the advantageous game state by the first advantageous transition means provided in the game state changing means. Among them, it is shifted to a predetermined first advantageous game state. Further, when the first special value is awarded based on the second derivation result different from the first derivation result as the first special game result, the game state is changed by the second advantageous transition means provided in the game state change means. , the advantageous game state is shifted to a second advantageous game state different from the first advantageous game state. Here, by the third dynamic execution means, in the first advantageous gaming state, from the rolling time for the game ball to roll from one end to the other end of the closing rolling means, the third dynamic display and a long pattern in which the execution time of the third dynamic display is longer than the rolling time in the second advantageous game state. Further, the drive means drives the movable means in the easy ball entry pattern in which the game ball easily enters the second ball entry means in the first advantageous game state, and the easy ball entry pattern in the second advantageous game state. The movable means is driven with a ball-entering pattern that makes it more difficult for the game ball to enter the second ball-entering means. The second special ball entry means is provided at a position where a game ball rolling from one end to the other end of the closing rolling means can easily enter. That is, in the first advantageous gaming state, the execution time of the third dynamic display may be shorter than the time required for the game ball to fully roll on the upper portion of the movable means, and the movable means may be driven according to the easy ball entry pattern. Therefore, a game ball rolling on the upper part of the movable means is likely to enter the second ball-entering means and is difficult to enter the second special ball-entering means. On the other hand, in the second advantageous gaming state, the execution time of the third dynamic display may be longer than the time required for the game ball to fully roll on the upper portion of the movable means, and the movable means is not driven in the easy ball entry pattern. , the game ball rolling on the upper part of the movable means does not enter the second ball-entering means, but can enter the second special ball-entering means. Thereby, whether or not the game ball enters the second special ball entry means when the third special game result is derived is determined by the first derivation result and the second derivation result as the first special game result. can be different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be enriched and the interest of the game can be improved.

The game machine 14 is characterized in that the first special value can be awarded when a game ball enters the game.

According to the gaming machine 14, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 109, the following effects are exhibited. That is, at least when the first special game result is derived, the first special ball entry means is driven to allow the game ball to be entered, and when the third special game result is derived, the second The special ball entry means is driven so that the game ball can be entered. The movable means is configured to be displaceable between a state in which a game ball can enter the second ball entering means and a state in which it is difficult to enter or impossible to enter. Here, the third ball-entering means different from the first ball-entering means and the second ball-entering means is configured so that the game ball launched by the launching means can enter. Then, based on the game ball entering the third ball entering means, the third information acquisition means acquires the third determination information, and the third determination information acquired by the third information acquisition means the third dynamic execution means executes the third dynamic display of the third identification information, and the drive means drives the movable means based on the execution result of the third dynamic execution means. . Here, in a state in which the game ball can enter the second ball entering means, the game ball is configured to roll on the upper portion of the movable means by the protrusion rolling means provided in the movable means. Further, the driving means drives the movable means in a difficult-to-enter pattern in which the game ball is difficult or impossible to enter into the second ball-entering means in a predetermined game state, while rolling when protruded in an advantageous game state. The means drives the movable means in a ball-enterable pattern in which the game ball can enter the second ball-entering means. A first right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the first judgment means, and a second right/wrong memory means as a right/wrong memory means is used in the second judgment means. Here, the first value is stored in the first value storage means, but the second value is not stored, and the first value and the second value are stored in the second value storage means. The game ball that has flowed into the second special ball entering means can be entered by the fourth ball entering means provided in the second special ball entering means, and the game ball enters the second ball entering means. When it does, it is configured such that the first special value can be given. That is, in the win/deny determination by the first determination means, the first value is stored instead of the second value in the first win/deny storage means, so that the first special game result is derived and the first special value is obtained. It becomes a playability whether or not to obtain. On the other hand, in the success/failure determination by the second determination means, since the second value is stored together with the first value in the second success/failure storage means, the first special game result is derived to obtain the first special value, or , the third special game result is derived, and the first special value is obtained by entering the game ball into the fourth ball entering means. Thereby, the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be imparted by the second determination means can be made different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be enriched and the interest of the game can be improved.

In gaming machine 14,
The second right/wrong storage means

According to the gaming machine 15, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine 14, the following effects are exhibited. That is, in the second correctness storage means, the derivation probability of the second value or the derivation probability of the third value is configured to be higher than the derivation probability of the first value. Thereby, in the determination by the second determining means, the second special game result based on the extraction of the second value or the third special game result based on the extraction of the third value is the first game result. etc. are configured to occur more often. Therefore, the pattern of the game value that can be given by the first determination means and the pattern of the game value that can be given by the second determination means can be made clearly different. Therefore, there is an effect that the variation of the game can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.
