The region is indicated as right region R2a. The route that flows down the left region R1a corresponds to the first route R1, and the route that flows down the right region R2a corresponds to the second route R2. In this embodiment, the left area R1a corresponds to the non-specific area of the game board, and the right area R2a corresponds to the specific area of the game board.

Then, the player operates the shooting handle 16 to adjust the shooting intensity of the game ball, thereby dividing the game ball into the left region R1a and the right region R2a, starting ports 26, 27a, 28, and a big prize winning port 29a. , 31a, the gate 33, and the general winning openings 34 and 35. Specifically, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the launch strength to be weaker (so-called left-handed hitting), the game ball is likely to be guided downward to the left region R1a, and the non-specific first start port 26 and the first general There is a possibility that the ball will enter the winning hole 34 . In this way, when the game ball is allowed to flow down to the non-specific area of the game board, it is configured so that the game ball can enter the first start opening out of the first start opening and the second start opening. That is, the non-specific first starting port 26 is provided within the non-specific region. On the other hand, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the launch intensity to a stronger value (so-called right-handed hitting), the game ball is likely to flow down and be guided to the right region R2a, and the specific first start port 27a, the second start port 28, There is a possibility that the ball will enter the first big prize winning opening 29a, the second big winning opening 31a, the gate 33 and the second general winning opening 35. In this way, when the game ball is caused to flow down to the specific area of the game board, it is configured so that the game ball can enter both the first start opening and the second start opening. That is, the specific first starting port 27a is provided within the specific region. Therefore, on the first route R1, there are the non-specified first starting port 26 and the first general winning port 34, and on the second route R2, there are the specific first starting port 27a, the second starting port 28, the first It can be said that there are a large prize winning port 29 a , a second large prize winning port 31 a , a gate 33 and a second general prize winning port 35 .

In this embodiment, when the game ball flows down the first route R1, compared to the case of flowing down the second route R2, the specific first start port 27a, the second start port 28, and the first big winning port 29a, the second big winning hole 31a, the gate 33, and the second general winning hole 35 are unlikely to enter. In this embodiment, when the game ball flows down the second route R2, it enters the non-specific first start hole 26 or the first general winning hole 34 compared to the case where it flows down the first route R1. unlikely. In the following description, shooting a game ball with a shooting intensity that causes the game ball to flow down along the first route R1 may be referred to as “left-handed hitting”. It should be noted that hitting to the left causes the game ball to flow down to a non-specific area of the game board. Also, shooting a game ball with a shooting intensity that causes the game ball to flow down the second route R2 may be referred to as "right hitting". It should be noted that hitting to the right causes the game ball to flow down to a specific area of the game board. In the right area R2a, the gate 33, the first big prize winning opening 29a, the second start opening 28, the second general winning opening 35, the specific first starting opening 27a, and the second big winning opening 31a are arranged in this order from the upstream side. there is

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as game states with different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery. The high-probability state is a gaming state with a high jackpot probability compared to the low-probability state. The high-probability state is a so-called "probability-variable state (probability-variable state)", and the low-probability state is a "non-probability-variable state (non-probability-variable state)". Hereinafter, the high-probability state will be referred to as "variable probability state", and the low-probability state will be referred to as "non-variable probability state". The pachinko gaming machine 10 is controllable to the variable probability state with the upper limit of 100 special games being executed after being controlled to the variable probability state.

The pachinko game machine 10 has a low open state and a high open state as game states in which the degrees of advantage for entering a ball into the starting hole are different. In the low open state and the high open state, the advantage that the game ball enters the specific first start hole 27a among the start holes is different. In the high open state, the probability that the game ball enters the specific first starting port 27a is higher than in the low open state, and the advantage of the game ball entering the specific first starting port 27a is a gaming state. be. The high open state is a so-called "electrical support state", and the low open state is a "non-electrical support state". For example, the low open state and the high open state may differ in the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot game balls.

The high open state is achieved, for example, by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls of the first control to the third control described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. realizable. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control for shortening the variation time of the normal game as compared to the low open state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control for varying the probability of winning the normal winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low open state. 3rd control is opening time extension control which makes the total opening time of the 1st variable member 27b in 1 normal per game longer than the time of a low opening state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, the control to increase the number of opening times of the first variable member 27b in one normal winning game than in the low open state, and one time of the first variable member 27b in the normal winning game At least one control of the control for making the opening time of is longer than that in the low opening state. Also, the high open state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the low open state. When the variable time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high open state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state (variable short state)".

In addition, in this embodiment, even in the low open state, the first variable member 27b may be in the open state, so even in the low open state, the game ball can enter the specific first start port 27a have a nature. However, when it is in the low open state, for example, it is configured so as not to win the normal winning lottery, and when it is in the low open state, the first variable member 27b is not in the open state, and the specific first start port 27a It may be configured so that game balls do not enter. In addition, when it is in the low open state, for example, even if it wins the normal winning lottery, the first variable member 27b is configured not to be in the open state, so that the game ball does not enter the specific first start port 27a. It may be configured as When configured as described above, the low open state can be said to be a state in which the game ball cannot be entered into the specific first starting port 27a. On the other hand, the high open state can be said to be a state in which a game ball can enter the specific first starting port 27a.

The high open state in the pachinko game machine 10 includes a short high open state and a long high open state. In the long high open state, the total open time of the first variable member 27b in one normal per game is longer than in the short high open state. Specifically, the total opening time of the first variable member 27b in one normal winning game when it is in the long high open state is the time when it is easy to enter the game ball into the specific first start port 27a ( For example, 5.7 seconds). On the other hand, the total open time of the first variable member 27b in one normal winning game when in the short high open state is the time when it is not easy to enter the game ball into the specific first start port 27a (for example, 0 .036 seconds). By the way, the total opening time of the first variable member 27b in one normal winning game when it is in the low open state is the time when it is not easy to enter the game ball into the specific first start opening 27a (for example, 0. 032 seconds). As described above, when it is in the long high open state, it is easy for the game ball to enter the specific first starting port 27a. For this reason, it is recommended that you hit right when you are in the long high open state.

Game states that can be controlled in the pachinko gaming machine 10 include a normal game state, a substantially normal state, a specific game state, and a special game state. The normal game state is a non-probability variable state and a low open state game state. The substantially normal state is a non-probability variable state and a game state of a short-circuit high open state. The specific low certainty gaming state is a non-probability variable state and a gaming state that is a long high open state. The specific high certainty gaming state is a gaming state that is a variable probability state and a long high open state. In the following description, the specific low-probability gaming state and the specific high-probability gaming state may be collectively referred to as "specific gaming state". The special game state is a game state which is a variable probability state and a low open state. The special state in this embodiment is also called a small hit rush (small hit RUSH). In this embodiment, the normal game state corresponds to the first game state, and the substantially normal state corresponds to the second game state. Moreover, in this embodiment, the special game state corresponds to the third game state. Also, the substantially normal state in this embodiment corresponds to a non-specific game state. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal game state corresponds to the normal state, and the substantially normal state corresponds to the special state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the normal game state is the low open state, while the substantially normal state is the high open state. Therefore, it can be said that the substantially normal state is a game state more advantageous than the normal game state. That is, the second game state is more advantageous than the first game state. Also, the non-specific game state is more advantageous than the normal game state. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the normal game state is the low open state, while the specific game state is the high open state. Therefore, it can be said that the specific game state is an advantageous game state compared to the normal game state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a chance symbol is derived in a special game while in the normal game state among a plurality of types of game states, the game is substantially controlled to the normal state. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a chance symbol is derived in a special game while in a game state other than the normal game state among a plurality of types of game states, the derivation of the chance symbol is substantially normal. Not controlled by state. The substantially normal state is controlled to the upper limit until 20 times of the first special game are completed or until 8 times of the second special game are completed, whichever is earlier. For example, the substantially normal state may be controlled so that the total number of executions of each special game reaches the number of times that triggers the end.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if a winning symbol is derived in the special game in any game state, the game machine 10 is not controlled substantially to the normal state. In other words, when a winning symbol is derived in the special game, the control is not performed substantially to the normal state. That is, when a non-specific result is derived in the variable game, the special state is not controlled. In this way, after the chance symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state, the derivation of the chance symbols is used as a trigger to control the game to substantially the normal state. On the other hand, after the winning symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, it is not controlled substantially to the normal state, triggered by the deriving of the losing symbol. That is, after the specified result is derived in the variable game in the first gaming state, the control is performed to the second gaming state, while in the first gaming state after the non-specific result is derived in the variable game. is not controlled to the second game state. In other words, after the specific result is derived in the variable game in the normal gaming state, the non-specific game state is controlled, and after the non-specific result is derived in the variable game in the normal gaming state, the non-specific game state is controlled. It is not controlled to a specific game state. In this way, when a specific result is derived in the variable game in the normal state, the game may be controlled to the special state thereafter.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation time of the second special game when being controlled to any one of the normal game state, the substantively normal state, and the specific game state is a predetermined variation time (for example, 4 minutes or 8 minutes). exceed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the variation time of the second special game when it is controlled to any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, and the specific game state is at least in the case of a small win and in the case of a loss, 10 minutes. For example, the variation time of the second special game when it is controlled to any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, and the specific game state does not exceed the predetermined variation time ( for example, 1 minute). On the other hand, in this embodiment, the variation time of the second special game when being controlled to the special game state does not exceed the predetermined variation time. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the variation time of the second special game when the second special game is executed when the second special game is executed in the case of being controlled to the special game state and in the case of a small win is It is shorter than the variation time of the second special game when the second special game is executed when the game state is controlled and a small win is obtained. On the other hand, the variation time of the second special game under control in the special game state is shorter than the variation time of the first special game under control in the special game state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the non-specific first start opening 26 is always open so that game balls can be entered. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the advantage of entering the game ball into the non-specific first start hole 26 is the same regardless of the game state. That is, in the present embodiment, in any of the first game state, the second game state and the third game state, it is possible to enter the game ball into the first start port in the non-specific area of the game board. Advantages for balls are the same. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second starting port 28 is always open so that game balls can be entered. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the advantage of entering the game ball into the second start hole 28 is the same regardless of the game state. That is, in the present embodiment, the game ball enters the second start hole in the specific area of the game board in any of the first game state, the second game state and the third game state. have the same advantage.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the game ball can be entered into the second start hole 28 by hitting to the right regardless of the game state. However, as described above, the variation time of the second special game when being controlled to a game state other than the special game state exceeds the predetermined variation time. Therefore, in a game state other than the special game state, and in a game state that is not a specific game state controlled to a long high open state in which hitting to the right is recommended, hitting to the left is recommended. In other words, when in the normal game state, it is recommended to hit left. Similarly, it is recommended that you hit left when you are in a substantially normal state. Thus, in this embodiment, the first game state and the second game state are game states in which it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the non-specific area. That is, at least the second game state is a game state in which it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the non-specific area.

On the other hand, the variation time of the second special game when controlled to the special game state does not exceed the predetermined variation time. Furthermore, as described above, the variation time of the second special game under control in the special game state is shorter than the variation time of the first special game under control in the special game state. Therefore, it is recommended to hit to the right when in the special game state. That is, in the present embodiment, the third game state is a game state in which it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to a specific area of the game board.

Then, according to the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled in the special game state, the number of game balls consumed per unit predetermined time increases as the number of small wins per unit time increases. The number of game balls obtainable per predetermined time increases. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled to a special game state, if the player hits to the right, even if the big win game is not given, the game ball (holding ball) possessed by the small win game is given. can be increased.

When the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to either the normal game state or the substantively normal state, it is recommended to hit left, so it is assumed that the player hits left. However, when the player is controlled to either the normal game state or the substantively normal state, even if the player hits to the left, the number of balls in possession cannot be increased, and the number of balls in possession decreases as the game continues. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is controlled to a specific game state, it is recommended to hit to the right. The number of small hits is small, and the number of game balls consumed per predetermined unit time is greater than the number of game balls obtainable per predetermined unit time. As described above, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the specific game state, it is difficult to increase the number of owned game balls (holding balls) even if the player hits to the right. Thus, it can be said that the special game state is more advantageous than other game states. That is, the special game state is more advantageous than the normal game state. Also, the special game state is more advantageous than the specific game state. Also, the third game state is more advantageous than the first game state. Also, the third game state is more advantageous than the second game state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled in a special game state, it is possible to expect that the period during which the special game state is controlled becomes longer while expecting a big win. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state ends when the special game is executed 100 times after being controlled to the special game state. , it can be expected that the period during which the special state is controlled becomes longer. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to increase the number of held balls by an average of 1000 from when the special game state is controlled until the special game state ends. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a jackpot game is awarded, it is difficult to increase the number of balls held by an average of 1000 or more. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the expected value for the increase in possession balls is higher from the start of the special game state to the end of the special state than in one big win game.

Next, based on FIG. 3, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of types of jackpot patterns as special jackpot patterns. The plurality of kinds of jackpot patterns are classified into first jackpot patterns, second jackpot patterns, third jackpot patterns, and fourth jackpot patterns. The first jackpot pattern, the second jackpot pattern, the third jackpot pattern and the fourth jackpot pattern are different from each other. In this embodiment, the first big-hit symbol corresponds to the special big-hit result, and the second big-hit symbol corresponds to the specific big-hit result. That is, the jackpot result includes the special jackpot result. The jackpot results include specific jackpot results. Further, in the present embodiment, the third big-hit symbol corresponds to a non-special big-hit result, and the fourth big-hit symbol corresponds to a special big-hit result. That is, the jackpot results include non-special jackpot results. The jackpot results include special jackpot results. Thus, the jackpot patterns corresponding to the jackpot results include the first jackpot pattern corresponding to the special jackpot result, the second jackpot pattern corresponding to the specific jackpot result, and the third jackpot pattern corresponding to the non-special jackpot result. , and a fourth big-hit symbol corresponding to the special big-hit result. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. Concretely, a first big win is set for the first big win pattern, a second big win is set for the second big win pattern, a third big win is set for the third big win pattern, and a fourth big win is set for the fourth big win pattern. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the first jackpot is "first jackpot game", the jackpot game based on the second jackpot is "second jackpot game", the jackpot game based on the third jackpot is "third jackpot game", and the fourth jackpot The big hit game based on is called "4th big hit game".

In the pachinko game machine 10, a big win is won in a jackpot lottery triggered by a ball entering the first starting holes 26, 27a, and a big win in a jackpot lottery triggered by a ball entering the second starting hole 28.例文帳に追加The ratio of determining various jackpot symbols (indicated as "determining ratio" in FIG. 3) is different from that in the case of winning . Specifically, when a big hit is won in the jackpot lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the first start ports 26, 27a, the first jackpot pattern has a probability of "5%", and the winning pattern has a probability of "45%". A second jackpot pattern, a third jackpot pattern with a probability of "10%", and a fourth jackpot pattern with a probability of "40%" are decided respectively. On the other hand, when a big win is won in a big win lottery performed when a ball enters the second starting port 28, the first big win pattern has a probability of "20%" and the second big win pattern has a probability of "30%". , the third jackpot pattern is determined with a probability of "22%", and the fourth jackpot pattern is determined with a probability of "28%".

Thus, when a big win is won, the ratio (probability) of determining the first big winning pattern as the big winning pattern is smaller than the ratio of determining the second big winning pattern as the big winning pattern. That is, when the big win is won, the ratio of determining the special big winning result as the big winning result is smaller than the ratio of determining the specific big winning result as the big winning result. Further, when a big win is won, the ratio of determining the third big winning pattern as the big winning pattern is smaller than the ratio of determining the fourth big winning pattern as the big winning pattern. That is, when a big win is won, the ratio of determining the non-special big winning result as the big winning result is smaller than the ratio of determining the special big winning result as the big winning result.

In the big-hit game, first, an opening performance for notifying the start of the big-hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the jackpot game, a round game is performed in which the first big prize winning opening 29a is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is performed with a predetermined upper limit number of times as the upper limit. In one round game, the first big winning hole 29a is a first open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, or a second open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit time elapses. is opened until In the round game, a round production is performed. Then, in the big win game, when the final round game ends, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big win game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends.

The number of round games is determined for each jackpot. Specifically, for the first to fourth jackpots, "four" is set as the number of round games. In addition, for each big win, a game state after the end of the big win game is determined. For example, for each jackpot, a game state after the jackpot game ends is determined according to the game state when the jackpot is won (in FIG. 3, indicated as "game state when winning").

Specifically, in the first jackpot, the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is any of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific low probability game state, the specific high probability game state and the special game state. However, it is defined that the game state after the end of the big hit game is the special game state. At this time, the game is controlled to the special game state until the 100th special game is finished. "100 special games" is the total number of times the first special game has ended and the number of times the second special game has ended. The variable probability state is controlled to an upper limit until 100 times of the special game is completed without winning the jackpot. Therefore, when 100 times of special games are finished after being controlled to the special game state, the special game state is finished by the end of the variable probability state, and the game is controlled to the normal game state.

In the second jackpot, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state, it is determined that the game state after the jackpot game is finished is controlled to the specific high-accuracy game state. At this time, the variable probability state is controlled to the upper limit until 100 special games are completed. On the other hand, the high open state is controlled to the upper limit until 150 first special games are completed or 10,000 second special games are completed, whichever comes first. Therefore, if the game state when the big win is won is the normal game state and the second big win game is given, the upper limit is from the end of the second big win game to the end of 100 special games. It is controlled to a specific high certainty gaming state as. After 100 special games are completed after the second jackpot game is completed, and until the number of first special games completed after the second jackpot game is completed reaches 150 times, or until the number of the second jackpot game is completed. After the end of the second special game, the number of times of the ended second special game reaches 10,000 times as the upper limit, and is controlled to the specific low probability game state. In addition, in the second jackpot, when the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is any of the substantially normal state, the specific low-probability game state, the specific high-probability game state and the special game state, the game after the jackpot game is completed. The state is defined as a special game state. At this time, the game is controlled to the special game state until the 100th special game is finished.

In the third jackpot, regardless of whether the game state when the jackpot is won is any of the normal game state, the substantively normal state, the specific low probability game state, the specific high probability game state and the special game state. As a game state after the end of the game, it is determined to control to a specific low probability game state. At this time, until the first special game is completed 150 times or the second special game is completed 10000 times, whichever is earlier, is controlled to the high open state, and to the specific low probability game state. controlled.

In the fourth jackpot, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state, it is determined that the game state after the jackpot game is finished is controlled to the normal game state. Further, in the fourth jackpot, when the game state when the jackpot is won is any of the substantially normal state, the specific low-probability game state, the specific high-probability game state and the special game state, the game after the jackpot game is completed. It is determined to control to a specific low certainty game state as a state. At this time, until the first special game is completed 150 times or the second special game is completed 10000 times, whichever is earlier, is controlled to the high open state, and to the specific low probability game state. controlled.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the long high open state is controlled after the end of the jackpot game, either the first special game of 150 times is completed or the second special game of 10000 times is completed. It is controlled to the long high open state with the earlier one as the upper limit. Therefore, the conditions for ending the long high open state include an ending condition that is satisfied when the first special game is completed 150 times, and an ending condition that is satisfied when the second special game is completed 10000 times. I understand. In addition, when a big hit game is given while being controlled to the long high open state, the long high open state ends. That is, it can be said that the termination condition of the long high open state includes the termination condition that is established by winning a big win or the termination condition that is established by giving the big winning game.

It should be noted that when a jackpot is won and a jackpot game is given while being controlled in various game states, even if the controllable upper limit has not been reached in the game state under control, The game state ends. After the end of the big win game, the game state is controlled to the kind of the game state when the big win is won again and the game state corresponding to the kind of the big win.

Next, small hits in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
In the small winning game, the second big winning hole 31a is opened, and the game ball is allowed to enter the second big winning hole 31a. In the small winning game, the second big winning opening 31a is opened in a predetermined open mode. In the small winning game, the second big winning hole 31a satisfies the first open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, or the second open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit time elapses. Until then, it is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small winning game, the second big winning opening 31a opens for 0.476 seconds. Thus, in the small winning game, the second big winning hole 31a is opened at least once only for a time when it is easy for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 31a.

As described above, in the jackpot game, the game ball is allowed to enter the first big winning hole 29a by opening the first big winning hole 29a. On the other hand, in the small winning game, the game ball is allowed to enter the second big winning hole 31a by opening the second big winning hole 31a. Thus, the big winning opening opened when the small winning game is awarded is different from the big winning opening opened when the big winning game is awarded.

In the display effect that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in this embodiment, the design for effect (hereinafter referred to as the effect pattern) is variably displayed in a plurality of rows, and finally the effect pattern that the combination of the effect pattern is derived. There is a variable game (hereinafter referred to as a production game). In this way, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a performance symbol variation game using performance symbols. The production pattern is a pattern decorated with characters, patterns, etc., and is also called "decorative pattern" or "decorative pattern". The effect game is played by vertically variably displaying (scrolling) the first, second, and third symbol rows. The performance symbols in the first row are so-called first symbols, the performance symbols in the second row are so-called second symbols, and the performance symbols in the third row are so-called third symbols. In the following description, the "first column" is indicated as "left column", the "first pattern" is indicated as "left pattern", the "second column" is indicated as "middle column", and the "second pattern" is indicated. The "middle pattern" is indicated, the "third row" is indicated as the "right row", and the "third pattern" is indicated as the "right pattern". In this embodiment, in principle, in each row, performance symbols imitating the numbers "1" to "8" are variably displayed in a predetermined order.

The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game and ended with the end of the special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game during execution of the special symbol variation game. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute the effect game during execution of the variation game. Then, in the performance game, a combination of performance symbols corresponding to the special symbols derived in the special game is derived. When a big-hit symbol is derived in the special game, a big-hit symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, a jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination such as "777", in which all lines have the same production symbol. In this way, when a big win is won in the big win lottery, a big win pattern is derived in the special game, and a big win pattern combination is derived in the effect game. After that, the pachinko game machine 10 gives a big hit game. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery, a big win result is derived in a variation game, a big win pattern result is derived in a performance game, and a big win game is awarded after the end of the variation game. Further, when a small winning symbol is derived in the special game, a small winning symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, a small winning symbol combination is a symbol combination such as "112" or "426", in which at least some rows of performance symbols are different from other rows of performance symbols.

Further, when a winning symbol is derived in the special game, a winning symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, the missing symbol combination is a symbol combination such as "323" or "426", in which at least some rows of performance symbols are different from other rows of performance symbols. Incidentally, the symbol combination for the small hit may be a symbol combination partially or wholly common to the winning symbol combination. For example, when a symbol combination common to a small winning symbol combination and a losing symbol combination is derived in a performance game, it is possible to make it difficult to specify from the performance symbols whether it is a small winning or losing. On the other hand, the small winning symbol combination may be a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination. In this case, it can be easily specified whether it is a small hit or a loss from the production pattern.

Further, when a chance symbol is derived in the special game, a chance symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, the chance symbol combination is a symbol combination such as "123", "112", etc., in which at least some rows of performance symbols are different from other rows of performance symbols. The lost symbol combination and the chance symbol combination may be partially or wholly the same, or may be entirely different. Also, the small winning symbol combination and the chance symbol combination may be partially or wholly the same, or may be entirely different. In addition, in the effect game, the display is temporarily stopped before the effect symbol is derived. In this specification, "pause display" means a state indicating something different from derivation, such as "shake fluctuation state".

The jackpot pattern combinations include a jackpot pattern combination composed of performance symbols imitating odd numbers (for example, "111" or "777") and a jackpot symbol combination composed of performance symbols imitating even numbers. There is a symbol combination (for example, "222" or "888"). In the following explanation, a jackpot pattern combination composed of performance symbols imitating odd numbers will be referred to as a "jackpot odd number symbol combination", and a jackpot pattern combination composed of performance symbols imitating even numbers will be referred to as " Even-numbered symbol combinations for big hits”. In addition, the jackpot pattern combination includes a jackpot pattern combination ("GGG") composed of performance patterns imitating the alphabet "G" (hereinafter referred to as "G pattern"). In the following description, the jackpot pattern combination composed of performance patterns imitating the alphabet "G" will be referred to as "jackpot special pattern combination". As a general rule, the G symbol is not variably displayed with the effect symbol imitating other numbers in the effect game. On the other hand, the G symbol may be displayed on the effect display device 25 only when the ready-to-win effect described later is executed. Incidentally, in the pachinko game machine 10, the base colors are different between the performance symbols imitating odd numbers, the performance symbols imitating even numbers, and the G symbols. Specifically, in the pachinko game machine 10, the production patterns imitating odd numbers are based on "red", the production patterns imitating even numbers are "blue", and the G patterns are based on "gold". In other words, the odd-numbered symbol combination of the big win, the even-numbered symbol combination of the big win, and the special symbol combination of the big win are different in color based on the performance symbols constituting each symbol combination.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game is controlled to the normal game state after the end of the big win game, the big win even symbol combination is derived in the performance game. When the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the specific game state after the end of the jackpot game, a jackpot odd-numbered symbol combination or a jackpot even-numbered symbol combination is derived in the performance game. When the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to a special game state after the end of a big winning game, any one of a big winning odd pattern combination, a big winning even number pattern combination and a big winning special pattern combination is derived in a performance game. Therefore, when a special symbol combination for a big hit is derived in the production game, it can be recognized that the special game state is controlled after the big win game is finished. In addition, when a jackpot odd pattern combination is derived in the performance game, even if the jackpot game is not controlled to the special game state, it can be recognized that it is controlled to the specific game state.

In the production game, the display mode of the production pattern becomes the ready-to-win mode (ready-to-win is formed), and ready-to-win production (simply referred to as ready-to-win) may be performed. In the reach mode, a specific row (for example, the left column and the right column) of a plurality of columns is temporarily displayed with a production pattern imitating the same number, and a column different from the specific column (for example, the middle column ) is continuously being variably displayed. The ready-to-win effect may include a plurality of types of ready-to-win effects in which characters to appear and actions of the effect patterns are different. For example, ready-to-win effects include a normal ready-to-win effect and a super ready-to-win effect that is performed after the start of the normal ready-to-win effect. During execution of the special game, when the super ready-to-win effect is executed, the degree of expectation for the big win may be higher than when only the normal ready-to-win effect is executed. Note that the ready-to-win effect is executed during execution of the special game. Although details will be described later, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, there are a plurality of types of super ready-to-win effects. The ready-to-win effect can be executed in the effect display device 25 during execution of the effect game and before the symbol combination is derived in the effect game.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute an effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of presentation modes. The performance mode is also called a performance state. In each production mode, mode identification information that can identify the production mode being controlled, ie, the production mode during stay, is notified. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, different background images are displayed on the effect display device 25 for each type of effect mode, and mode identification information is notified. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, the decoration lamp 17 emits light in a different color for each type of effect mode, and mode identification information is reported. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, different background sounds are output from the speaker 18 for each type of effect mode, and mode identification information is notified.

As shown in FIG. 4, the performance modes in the pachinko game machine 10 include a normal performance mode, a chance performance mode, and a special performance mode. The normal production mode is controlled when it is in the normal game state. Furthermore, the normal effect mode is controlled to a substantially normal state. For example, when the normal effect mode is controlled to the substantially normal state triggered by the derivation of the chance symbol in the special game, the control is continued to the normal effect mode. In addition, although not shown, when the fourth big win game is awarded in the normal game state, after the fourth big win game is finished, the normal game state is controlled again, and the normal production mode is resumed. controlled by Further, although not shown, when the substantially normal state ends without winning a jackpot in the substantially normal state, the game is controlled to the normal game state and continuously controlled to the normal performance mode. .

The chance production mode is controlled when in a specific game state. The chance production mode is controlled when shifting to a specific game state when in the normal production mode. For example, when the second big win game is awarded in the normal game state, after the second big win game is finished, the game is controlled to the specific high certainty game state and also to the chance performance mode. Similarly, the chance production mode is controlled when transitioning to the specific game state when in the special production mode. For example, when the fourth big win game is given in the special game state, the game is controlled to the specific low probability game state and the chance presentation mode after the fourth big win game is finished. In addition, when the high open state ends without winning the jackpot in the chance mode, the mode is controlled to the normal performance mode.

The special effect mode is controlled when in a special game state. The special effect mode is controlled when shifting to the special game state when the normal effect mode is set. For example, when the first jackpot game is provided in the normal game state, after the first jackpot game ends, the game is controlled to the special game state and also to the special performance mode. For example, when the second big win game is provided in the substantially normal state, after the end of the second big win game, it is controlled to the special game state and also to the special performance mode. Similarly, the special effect mode is controlled when transitioning to the special game state when in the chance effect mode. For example, when the second jackpot game is provided in the specific game state, after the end of the second jackpot game, it is controlled to the special game state and also to the special performance mode. In addition, when the variable probability state ends without winning a jackpot in the special performance mode, the mode is controlled to the normal performance mode.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a main board 40 as a main control section. The main board 40 performs various processes and outputs control information such as control signals (control commands) according to the results of the processes. The pachinko game machine 10 has a sub-board 50 as a sub-control section. The sub-board 50 performs predetermined processing based on the control information output by the main board 40 . For example, the sub-board 50 performs processing for executing a light emission effect by the decorative lamp 17 , a sound effect by the speaker 18 , and a display effect by the effect display device 25 . The main board 40 and the sub-board 50 are arranged on the back side of the game board 20 . The game board unit includes a main board 40 and a sub board 50 . In the pachinko game machine 10, the main board 40 and the sub board 50 can be said to be arranged inside the machine. The main board 40 is connected to the sub board 50 .

First, the main substrate 40 will be explained.
The main board 40 includes a main CPU 41 , a main ROM 42 and a main RWM 43 . The main CPU 41 performs various processes by executing a control program (main control program) of the main CPU 41 .

The main ROM 42 stores a main control program, a lottery table used for a predetermined lottery, determination values, and the like. For example, the main ROM 42 stores a big-hit determination value used in a big-hit lottery. The big-hit determination value includes a high-probability big-hit determination value and a common big-hit determination value. In the pachinko game machine 10, only the common big-hit determination value out of the common big-hit determination value and the high-probability big-hit determination value is used in the jackpot lottery in the low-probability state, while in the jackpot lottery in the high-probability state. Both the common jackpot determination value and the high-probability jackpot determination value are used. In addition, the main ROM 42 stores a small-hit determination value used for a small-hit lottery. The main ROM 42 also stores chance determination values used for chance lottery. Further, the main ROM 42 stores an effect determination value used for the effect lottery. In the effect lottery, a determination is made as to whether to execute the ready-to-win effect. Therefore, the effect lottery can also be called a reach lottery.

In addition, for example, the main ROM 42 stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The plurality of types of variation patterns are associated with variation times (special game variation times) from the start of the special game to the end of the special game. The variation pattern can be said to be information that can specify the variation time of the special game. The variation pattern may be information that can specify part or all of the effect contents of the effect game performed from the start of the special game until the end of the special game. Variation patterns include, for example, a big-hit variation pattern, a small-hit variation pattern, a chance variation pattern, and a non-hit variation pattern. The big-hit variation pattern is associated with the production contents of the production game, such as the ready-to-win production and finally deriving the big-hit symbol combination. The small hit variation pattern is associated with the production content of the production game in which a small winning symbol combination is finally derived without going through the ready-to-win production. Incidentally, the small hit variation pattern may have a variation pattern associated with an effect content for finally deriving a losing symbol combination through a ready-to-win effect as the effect content of the effect game. The chance variation pattern is associated with the effect contents for finally deriving the chance symbol by the effect symbol through the predetermined chance effect. The non-hit variation pattern includes a variation pattern without non-hit reach and a variation pattern with non-hit reach. The variation pattern without non-hit reach is associated with the effect content of the effect game for deriving the finally winning symbol combination or chance symbol combination without going through the reach effect. The variation pattern with non-hit reach is associated with the effect content of the effect game, which ultimately leads to the winning symbol combination or the chance symbol combination through the reach effect.

The various variation patterns are a variation pattern that can be determined when it is in a normal game state, a variation pattern that can be determined when it is in a substantially normal state, a variation pattern that can be determined when it is in a specific game state, and a special game and the pattern of variation that can be determined when the state. It should be noted that the variation pattern that can be determined when it is in the specific low probability gaming state and the variation pattern that can be determined when it is in the specific high probability gaming state may be separated. Some or all of the variation patterns determinable in each game state may be the same as the variation patterns determinable in other game states.

The various variation patterns are a first special game variation pattern that can be determined when the first special game is executed, and a second special game variation pattern that can be determined when the second special game is executed. and are classified into Variation patterns classified as determinable variation patterns when in the specific gaming state are more suitable for the first special game than variation patterns classified as determinable variation patterns when in other gaming states. The fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern is short (or often short). In addition, the variation patterns classified as determinable variation patterns when in the special game state are higher than the variation patterns classified as determinable variation patterns when in the other gaming state in the second special game. The fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern for the is short (or often short).

Next, the sub-board 50 will be described.
The sub-board 50 includes a sub-CPU 51 , a sub-ROM 52 and a sub-RWM 53 . For example, the sub CPU 51 performs various types of processing (for example, processing related to effects) by executing a control program (sub control program) of the sub CPU 51 . The secondary ROM 52 stores a secondary control program, a lottery table used for lottery, determination values, and the like. The secondary ROM 52 stores display effect data capable of specifying the mode (content) of the display effect in the effect display device 25 . The sub ROM 52 stores light emission effect data that can specify the mode (content) of the light emission effect in the decorative lamp 17 . The secondary ROM 52 stores sound effect data capable of specifying the mode (content) of the sound effect in the speaker 18 .

Here, various processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
First, the special symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 performs the first special symbol input process. In addition, after completing the first special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 performs the second special symbol input process. Then, in the special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol input process after completing the second special symbol input process.

In the first special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 determines whether a game ball has entered the first start openings 26, 27a based on whether the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter referred to as the first 1-input determination). When the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the first special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 determines whether the first special pending number stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) (hereinafter , referred to as the first pending judgment). When the determination result of the first suspension determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the first special symbol input process. When the determination result of the first suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the first special suspension number and updates it. The main CPU 41 also controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated first special pending number. The main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a first reservation number command) that can specify the updated first special reservation number in the output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 50 in subsequent interrupt processing. Further, when the determination result of the first suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 acquires random numbers generated within the main board 40 and stores random number information based on the acquired random numbers in the main RWM 43 . At this time, the main CPU 41 stores the random number information so that it is for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In this embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main RWM 43, the execution of the first special game is suspended until the conditions for executing the first special game are satisfied. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. The random numbers are, for example, winning lottery random numbers used for big win lotteries and small winning lotteries, pattern random numbers used for determining big winning patterns, variation pattern random numbers used for determining variation patterns, effect lottery random numbers used for effect lottery, and the like. After that, the main CPU 41 ends the first special symbol input process.

In the second special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 determines whether the game ball has entered the second starting port 28 based on whether the detection signal from the second starting sensor SE2 has been input (hereinafter referred to as the second input judgment). When the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 determines whether the second special pending number stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) (hereinafter , referred to as a second pending decision). If the determination result of the second suspension determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol input process. When the determination result of the second suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the second special suspension number and updates it. The main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special pending number. Further, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a second reservation number command) that can specify the updated second special reservation number in the output buffer. Further, when the determination result of the second suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 acquires random numbers generated within the main board 40, stores random number information based on the acquired random numbers in the main RWM 43, and performs special symbol input processing. exit. At this time, the main CPU 41 stores the random number information so that it is for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In this embodiment, by storing the random number information for the second special game in the main RWM 43, the execution of the second special game is suspended until the conditions for executing the second special game are met. After that, the main CPU 41 ends the second special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
In the special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 determines whether the game is not in a winning game (a big winning game or a small winning game) and is not in a state of waiting for occurrence of a big winning game. During the winning game or when waiting for the occurrence of the big winning game, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol start processing. On the other hand, if the winning game is not in progress and the big winning game is not waiting for occurrence, the main CPU 41 performs the first execution determination. In the first execution determination, the main CPU 41 determines whether the first special game is being executed. When determining that the first special game is being executed in the first execution determination, the main CPU 41 performs a second execution determination. In the second execution determination, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the second special game is being executed. On the other hand, when determining that the first special game is not being executed in the first execution determination, the main CPU 41 makes a first suspension determination. In the first reservation determination, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the first special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is 1 or more. If it is determined in the first suspension determination that the first special suspension number is not equal to or greater than 1, the main CPU 41 performs the second execution determination. On the other hand, when determining that the first special reservation number is 1 or more in the first reservation determination, the main CPU 41 performs first special symbol start processing related to execution of the first special game. After performing the first special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 performs a second in-execution determination.

When determining that the second special game is being executed in the second execution determination, the main CPU 41 ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when determining that the second special game is not being executed in the second execution determination, the main CPU 41 makes a second suspension determination. In the second reservation determination, the main CPU 41 determines whether the second special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is 1 or more. When determining that the second special reservation number is not equal to or greater than 1 in the second reservation determination, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol start processing. On the other hand, when determining that the second special reservation number is 1 or more in the second reservation determination, the main CPU 41 performs second special symbol start processing related to execution of the second special game. After performing the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 ends the special symbol start process.

Here, the first special symbol start processing will be described.
In the first special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the first special reserved number stored in the main RWM 43 and updates it. The main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special pending number is displayed. Further, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a first reservation number command that can specify the updated first special reservation number. Subsequently, the main CPU 41 reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game from the main RWM 43 . When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 41 erases the first stored random number information from the main RWM 43 . After that, the main CPU 41 performs a jackpot lottery process.

In the big-hit lottery process, the main CPU 41 performs a big-hit lottery based on the value of the winning lottery random number that can be specified from the read random number information and the big-hit determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . At this time, the main CPU 41 refers to information (hereinafter referred to as probability state information) that can specify whether the game state is the non-probability variable state or the probability state, among the information that can specify the gaming state stored in the main RWM 43. do. Then, the main CPU 41 performs a big-hit lottery using the common big-hit determination value and the high-probability big-hit determination value in the variable-probability state, and performs the big-hit lottery using the common big-hit determination value in the non-variable state. The main CPU 41 determines whether the value of the winning lottery random number and the big-hit determination value match, and performs a big-hit lottery. In this embodiment, when the value of the winning lottery random number and the jackpot judgment value match, the jackpot lottery is won, and when the winning lottery random number and the jackpot judgment value do not match, the jackpot lottery is not won. . Then, when the big win lottery is won, the main CPU 41 ends the big win lottery process and executes the big win game process.

When the big win lottery is not won, the big win lottery process is terminated, and the main CPU 41 performs the chance lottery process. In the chance lottery process, the main CPU 41 performs a chance lottery based on the read random number information and the chance determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . The random number information used for the chance lottery is the same as the random number information (value of the winning lottery random number) used for the big win lottery. Also, the chance determination value is different from the value determined as the big win determination value and the value determined as the small win determination value among the values within the range that the random number information used in the big win lottery and the chance lottery can take. Then, when the chance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 ends the chance lottery process and executes the chance game process. On the other hand, when the chance lottery is not won, the chance lottery process is terminated, and the main CPU 41 executes the losing game process. That is, in the first special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 executes the losing game process when the big win lottery is not won and the chance lottery is not won.

In the jackpot game process, the main CPU 41 determines jackpot symbols based on the value of the symbol random number that can be specified from the read random number information. In the big-hit game process in the first special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 determines one of the first to fourth big-hit symbols based on the value of the symbol random number. In the jackpot game process in the first special symbol start process, the probability of the first jackpot pattern is "5%", the probability of the second jackpot pattern is "45%", the probability of the third jackpot pattern is "10%", and the probability of the fourth jackpot pattern is "10%". The jackpot pattern is determined with a probability of "40%". Further, in the jackpot game process, the main CPU 41 determines a jackpot variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern random number that can be specified from the read random number information. At this time, the main CPU 41 determines a big hit variation pattern according to the gaming state. For example, in the jackpot game processing in the first special symbol start processing, when in the normal game state, the main CPU 41 determines the jackpot variation pattern for the first special game, which is classified into the variation patterns that can be determined in the normal game state. to decide. After determining the special symbols and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the jackpot game processing, and outputs control information (hereinafter referred to as symbol command) that can specify the determined special symbols and the determined variation pattern. Control information (hereinafter referred to as a variation pattern command) is stored in the output buffer. Then, the main CPU 41 ends the first special symbol start process.

In the chance game process, the main CPU 41 determines chance symbols. When there are one or more chance symbols, the main CPU 41 may determine the chance symbols based on the value of the symbol random number. In addition, in the chance game process, the main CPU 41 determines the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern random number that can be specified from the read random number information. Specifically, in the chance game process in the first special symbol start process, in the case of the normal game state, the main CPU 41 determines, based on the value of the fluctuation pattern random number that can be specified from the read random number information, when the normal game state A chance variation pattern is determined for the first special game that falls into the determinable variation patterns. On the other hand, in the chance game process in the first special symbol start process, if the game state is other than the normal game state, the main CPU 41 controls the game state under control based on the fluctuation pattern random number value that can be specified from the read random number information. determines a variation pattern with a non-hit reach for the first special game classified into determinable variation patterns. After determining the special symbols and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the chance game processing, and stores a symbol command capable of specifying the determined special symbols and a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern in the output buffer. do. Then, the main CPU 41 ends the first special symbol start process.

In the losing game process, the main CPU 41 determines the winning symbols. When there is one or more types of winning symbols, the main CPU 41 may determine the winning symbols based on the value of the symbol random number. In addition, in the losing game process, the main CPU 41 performs the effect lottery based on the value of the effect lottery random number that can be specified from the read random number information and the effect determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . The main CPU 41 wins the performance lottery when the value of the performance lottery random number and the performance judgment value match, and determines that the performance lottery does not win when the value of the performance lottery random number and the performance judgment value do not match. The main CPU 41 determines a variation pattern with non-hit reach when winning the performance lottery based on the value of the variation pattern random number that can be specified from the read random number information, while determining a non-hitting reach variation pattern when the performance lottery is not won. Determine unreachable movement patterns. At this time, the main CPU 41 determines a variation pattern with non-hit reach or a variation pattern without non-hit reach according to the gaming state. For example, in the losing game process in the first special symbol start process, in the normal game state, when the effect lottery is won, the main CPU 41 classifies the first variation pattern that can be determined in the normal game state. A variation pattern with non-hit reach for a special game is determined. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the losing game process, and stores in the output buffer a symbol command capable of specifying the determined special symbol and a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern. . Then, the main CPU 41 ends the first special symbol start process.

Next, the second special symbol start processing will be described.
In the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the second special reserved number stored in the main RWM 43 and updates it. The main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special pending number is displayed. In addition, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a second reservation number command that can specify the updated second special reservation number. Subsequently, the main CPU 41 reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main RWM 43 . When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 41 erases the first stored random number information from the main RWM 43 . After that, the main CPU 41 performs a jackpot lottery process.

In the big-hit lottery process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 performs the same control as the big-hit lottery process in the first special symbol start process. However, when the big win lottery is won in the big win lottery process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 ends the big win lottery process and executes the big win game process. On the other hand, when the big-hit lottery process is not won in the big-hit lottery process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 ends the big-hit lottery process and executes the small-hit lottery process.

In the big-hit game process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 performs the same control as the big-hit game process in the first special symbol start process. However, in the big-hit game process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 determines one of the first to fourth big-hit symbols based on the value of the symbol random number. In the jackpot game process in the second special symbol start process, the first jackpot pattern has a probability of ``20%'', the second jackpot pattern has a probability of ``30%'', the third jackpot pattern has a probability of ``22%'', and the fourth jackpot pattern has a probability of ``22%''. The jackpot pattern is determined with a probability of "28%". Also, in the big-hit game process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 determines the big-hit variation pattern for the second special game. After determining the special symbols and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the jackpot game processing, and stores in the output buffer a symbol command capable of specifying the determined special symbols and a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern. . Then, the main CPU 41 ends the second special symbol start process.

In the small winning lottery process, the main CPU 41 determines the value of the winning lottery random number that can be specified from the read random number information (the value of the winning lottery random number used in the big winning lottery process) and the small winning judgment value stored in the main ROM 42. , Perform a small lottery based on. The main CPU 41 determines whether the value of the winning lottery random number and the small winning determination value match, and performs a small winning lottery. In this embodiment, when the value of the winning lottery random number and the small winning determination value match, it is assumed that the small winning lottery is won, and when the value of the winning lottery random number and the small winning determination value do not match, the small winning lottery is not won. shall be Then, when the small winning lottery is won, the main CPU 41 ends the small winning lottery process and executes the small winning game process. On the other hand, when the small winning lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 ends the small winning lottery process and executes the losing game process.

In the small-hit game process, the main CPU 41 determines a small-hit symbol. When there is one type or a plurality of types of small winning symbols, the main CPU 41 may determine a chance symbol based on the value of the symbol random number. Further, in the small-hit game process, the main CPU 41 determines a small-hit variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern random number that can be specified from the read random number information. For example, in the small winning game process in the second special symbol start process, in the case of a special game state, the main CPU 41 determines when it is in the special game state based on the fluctuation pattern random number value that can be specified from the read random number information. A small winning variation pattern for the second special game classified into the possible variation patterns is determined. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a small win is won, a small win variation pattern is determined. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a small winning pattern is derived in the special game, the ready-to-win effect is not executed. After determining the special symbols and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the small winning game process, and stores a symbol command capable of specifying the determined special symbol and a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern in the output buffer. do. Then, the main CPU 41 ends the second special symbol start process.

In the losing game process in the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 performs the same control as the losing game process in the first special symbol start process. However, in the losing game processing in the second special symbol start processing, the main CPU 41 selects a variation pattern with losing reach for the second special game or a variation pattern without losing reach for the second special game according to the lottery result of the effect lottery. decide. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 ends the losing game process, and stores in the output buffer a symbol command capable of specifying the determined special symbol and a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern. . Then, the main CPU 41 ends the second special symbol start process.

In this embodiment, the main CPU 41 performs a big win lottery, thereby realizing a function as a big win lottery means for performing a big win lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 41 performs a small-hit lottery, thereby realizing a function as a small-hit lottery means for performing a small-hit lottery. In this embodiment, the main CPU 41 determines special symbols to be derived in the special game, thereby realizing a function as result determination means for determining the result derived in the variable game. In this embodiment, the main CPU 41 determines the variation pattern in the first special symbol start process and the second special symbol start process, thereby realizing a function as variation pattern determining means for determining the variation pattern.

After completing the special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute a special game. Specifically, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main CPU 41 counts the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is derived when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has passed. Further, when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has passed, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a game end command for deriving a symbol combination based on the performance symbols.

Incidentally, during the execution of the first special game, if the second special game results in a big win and causes the second special symbol display portion 22b to derive a big win symbol, the main CPU 41 displays a winning symbol on the first special symbol display portion 22a. and forcibly terminate the first special game that is being executed. Similarly, during execution of the second special game, if the first special game results in a big win and causes the first special symbol display portion 22a to derive a big win symbol, the main CPU 41 causes the second special symbol display portion 22b to display a missing symbol. and forcibly terminate the second special game being executed. In addition, when a jackpot symbol is derived in a special game, the main CPU 41 waits for the occurrence of a jackpot game, and outputs control information (hereinafter referred to as a wait-for-occurrence command) that can specify that the jackpot game is waiting for the occurrence of a jackpot game. Store in the output buffer. The state of waiting for the occurrence of the jackpot game corresponds to a state in which the condition device is operating and the continuous accessory device is not operating.

In addition, the main CPU 41 controls to pay out game balls as prize balls when a detection signal capable of specifying that a game ball has been detected in various winning holes is input. For example, when the detection signal from the second starting sensor SE2 is input, the main CPU41 controls the second starting port 28 so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
When the main CPU 41 receives a detection signal from the gate sensor SE5 while waiting for the occurrence of a big win game, the main CPU 41 executes a big win process and awards a big win game. In the present embodiment, providing a jackpot game triggered by the input of the detection signal from the gate sensor SE5 corresponds to operating the accessory continuous operation device.

In the jackpot process, the main CPU 41 specifies the jackpot game type based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the jackpot type) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main CPU 41 starts control to award the specified type of jackpot game after the jackpot special game ends. Therefore, the main CPU 41 grants a jackpot game by executing the jackpot process. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, a jackpot game is given after winning a jackpot.

In the jackpot process, the main CPU 41 stores the opening command in the output buffer. When the main CPU 41 stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main CPU 41 counts the opening time. Further, when the opening time has passed, the main CPU 41 performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main CPU 41 controls the second actuator A2 so as to open the first big winning hole 29a according to the opening mode (opening pattern), and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main CPU 41 controls the second actuator A2 so as to close the first big winning opening 29a when the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition is satisfied. , to end the round game. The main CPU 41 repeats the processing for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games set for the jackpot game is completed. The main CPU 41 stores a round command in the output buffer each time a round game is started. Further, the main CPU 41 stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game ends. When the main CPU 41 stores the ending command in the output buffer, the main CPU 41 counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time elapses, the main CPU 41 ends the jackpot process.

Next, the small winning process performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
The main CPU 41 performs a small-win process after finishing the small-win special game. It should be noted that the main CPU 41 performs a small winning process regardless of whether or not a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5 after the small winning special game is finished. In the small-hit process, the main CPU 41 starts control to give a small-hit game after the end of the special game of the small-hit. Therefore, the main CPU 41 provides a small winning game by executing the small winning process. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, a small winning game is provided after winning a small winning. When awarding a small winning game in the small winning process, the main CPU 41 controls the third actuator A3 so as to open the second big winning opening 31a with 0.476 seconds as the upper limit. After awarding the small winning game, the main CPU 41, when the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition is satisfied, causes the third actuator to close the second big winning hole 31a. A3 is controlled and the small hit process is terminated.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
The main RWM 43 stores information that can specify the game state (hereinafter referred to as game state information). The game state information is information that can specify whether it is a non-variable probability state or a variable probability state (probability state information described above), and specifies whether it is a low open state, a short high open state, or a long high open state. possible information (hereinafter referred to as open state information); In the pachinko game machine 10, the game state under control can be specified by a combination of information that can be specified from the probability state information and the open state information.

For example, the main CPU 41 can specify that it is in a non-variable probability state from the probability state information, and if it can specify that it is in a low open state from the open state information, it can specify that it is controlled to the normal game state. can do. In the following description, "to control to the normal gaming state" means to update the probability state information that can be specified that it is a non-variable state and the open state information that can be specified that it is a low open state respectively. do. Similarly, when the main CPU 41 can identify the non-probability variable state from the probability state information and can identify the short-circuit high open state from the open state information, the main CPU 41 controls the state substantially to the normal state. can be specified. In the following description, "to control to a substantially normal state" means to update the probability state information that can specify that it is a non-variable state and the open state information that can specify that it is a short-circuit high open state. means.

The main CPU 41 can specify that it is in a non-variable probability state from the probability state information, and if it can specify that it is in a long high open state from the open state information. can be specified. In the following description, "to control to a specific low probability gaming state" means that the non-probability variable state can be specified probability state information and the long high open state is updated to the open state information that can be specified respectively means that Similarly, the main CPU 41 controls to a specific high probability gaming state when it is possible to identify the variable probability state from the probability state information and to identify the long high open state from the open state information. can be specified. In the following description, "to control to a specific high certainty gaming state" is to update the probability state information that can be specified that it is a variable probability state and the open state information that can be specified that it is a long high open state. means The main CPU 41 can specify that the variable probability state is specified from the probability state information, and if it is possible to specify the low open state from the open state information, it is possible to specify that the special game state is being controlled. can. In the following description, "to control to a special game state" means to update the probability state information that can be specified that the variable probability state and the open state information that can be specified that it is a low open state respectively. .

After the first jackpot game ends, the main CPU 41 updates the probability state information to identify the variable probability state. Further, the main CPU 41 updates the probability state information that can specify the variable probability state after the second jackpot game ends. When updating the probability state information that can specify the variable probability state, the main CPU 41 sets "100 times ”. The probability variation frequency information is stored in the main RWM 43 . Then, when the number of times that can be specified from the variable probability number information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of times that can be specified from the variable probability number information and updates the variable probability number information with the end of the special game. At this time, the main CPU 41 updates the variable probability number information along with the end of either the first special game or the second special game. Then, when the probability variation count information after updating reaches 0, the main CPU 41 updates the probability state information that can identify the non-probability variation state. As a result, for example, when it is updated to the probability state information that can specify that it is a non-variable probability state by the probability variable number of times information reaching 0 when it is a special game state, the special game state ends, It will be controlled to the normal game state. For example, when it is updated to the probability state information that can be specified that it is a non-probability variation state by the probability variation number information reaching 0 when it is a specific high probability gaming state, it is a long high open state Since the identifiable open state information is still set, the specific high certainty game state is terminated and the game state is controlled to the specific low certainty game state.

Further, when the chance symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to specify the short high open state. When the main CPU 41 updates the open state information that can specify that the short circuit high open state is specified, the main CPU 41 is information that can specify the remaining number of times of the first special game that can be controlled to the short high open state (hereinafter referred to as the first short number of times information) is set to "20 times". Furthermore, when the main CPU 41 updates the open state information that can specify the short-circuit high open state, the main CPU 41 is information that can specify the remaining number of times of the second special game that can be controlled in the short-circuit high open state (hereinafter referred to as the second "8 times" is set as the number of short-circuit times information). The first short-circuit frequency information and the second short-circuit frequency information are stored in the main RWM 43 .

When the number of times specifiable from the first number-of-shorts information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of times specifiable from the first number-of-shorts information, upon completion of the first special game. Update information. Note that the main CPU 41 does not update the first number-of-shorts information even if the second special game ends. Then, when the updated first short-circuit frequency information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to identify the low open state. Further, when the updated first short-circuit frequency information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 sets "0 times" as the second short-circuit frequency information to initialize the second short-circuit frequency information. Further, when the number of times that can be specified from the second number-of-shorts information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of times that can be specified from the second number-of-shorts information when the second special game ends, and Update the short number information. Note that the main CPU 41 does not update the second number-of-shorts information even when the first special game ends. Then, when the second short-circuit frequency information after updating reaches 0, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to identify the low open state. Further, when the updated second short-circuit frequency information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 sets "0 times" as the first short-circuit frequency information, and initializes the first short-circuit frequency information. As a result, when the first short-circuit frequency information or the second short-circuit frequency information reaches 0 when the state is substantially normal, and the open state information is updated to identify the low open state, substantially The normal state ends, and the game is controlled to the normal game state.

In addition, when the main CPU 41 wins a big win and the second big win game is awarded in the normal game state, the main CPU 41 is in an open state in which the long high open state can be specified after the second big win game is finished. Update to information. Further, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to specify the long high open state after the third jackpot game is finished. In addition, when the main CPU 41 wins a big win and the fourth big win game is provided in a game state other than the normal game state, the main CPU 41 specifies that the long high open state is set after the fourth big win game is finished. Update to available open state information. When the main CPU 41 updates the open state information that can specify the long high open state, the main CPU 41 can specify the remaining number of times of the first special game that can be controlled to the long high open state (hereinafter referred to as the first long number of times). information) is set to "150 times". Furthermore, when the main CPU 41 updates the open state information that can specify the long high open state, the main CPU 41 is information that can specify the remaining number of times of the second special game that can be controlled to the long high open state (hereinafter referred to as the second "10000 times" is set as "long count information". The first long-run count information and the second long-run count information are stored in the main RWM 43 .

When the number of times that can be specified from the first number-of-longs information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of times that can be specified from the first number-of-longs information when the first special game ends, and Update information. Note that the main CPU 41 does not update the first long number-of-times information even when the second special game ends. Then, when the updated first long number-of-times information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to identify the low open state. Further, when the updated first long-run count information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 sets "0 times" as the second long-run count information, and initializes the second long-run count information. Further, when the number of times that can be specified from the second number-of-longs information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of times that can be specified from the second number-of-longs information when the second special game ends, and Update the long count information. Note that the main CPU 41 does not update the second long number-of-times information even when the first special game ends. Then, when the updated second long number of times information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 updates the open state information to specify the low open state. Further, when the updated second long-run count information reaches 0, the main CPU 41 sets "0 times" as the first long-run count information and initializes the first long-run count information. As a result, when the first long number information or the second long number information reaches 0 when the specific low probability gaming state is reached, the open state information is updated to the open state information that can specify the low open state. , The specific low-probability game state ends, and it is controlled to the normal game state.

Incidentally, when a jackpot game is given, the main CPU 41 initializes various number-of-times information. Specifically, the main CPU 41 sets the variable probability number information to "0 times" and initializes the variable probability number information when the jackpot game is awarded. Similarly, when providing a jackpot game, the main CPU 41 sets the first number-of-shorts information to "0 times" and initializes the first number-of-shorts information. Further, when providing a jackpot game, the main CPU 41 sets the second number-of-shorts information to "0 times" and initializes the second number-of-shorts information. Further, when providing a jackpot game, the main CPU 41 sets the first long number-of-times information to "0 times" and initializes the first long-number of times information. Further, when providing a jackpot game, the main CPU 41 sets the second long number-of-times information to "0 times" and initializes the second long-number of times information. Further, in the case of awarding a jackpot game, the main CPU 41 updates the probability state information that can identify the non-variable probability state, and updates the open state information that can identify the low open state. As a result, during the provision of the jackpot game, the normal game state is entered.

When the probability state information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as probability state information command) that can specify the updated probability state information in the output buffer. Similarly, when the open state information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as an open state information command) capable of specifying the updated open state information in the output buffer. In addition, when the probability variation frequency information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation frequency information command) capable of specifying the updated probability variation frequency information in the output buffer. Further, when the first short-circuit frequency information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a first short-circuit frequency information command) capable of specifying the updated first short-circuit frequency information in the output buffer. Similarly, when the second short-circuit frequency information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a second short-circuit frequency information command) capable of specifying the updated second short-circuit frequency information in the output buffer. Further, when the first long-time count information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a first long-time count information command) capable of specifying the updated first long-time count information in the output buffer. Similarly, when the second long-time count information is updated, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a second long-time count information command) capable of specifying the updated second long-time count information in the output buffer. In this embodiment, the main CPU 41 performs the game state processing, thereby realizing a function as a game state control means for controlling the game state.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main CPU 41 determines whether the game ball has passed through (entered) the gate 33 based on whether a detection signal has been input from the gate sensor SE5. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 33, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 33, the main CPU 41 determines whether the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the normal reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol input process. When the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 43 and updates it. In this case, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated normal pending number. The main CPU 41 also stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a normal pending number command) that can specify the updated normal pending number in the output buffer. Next, the main CPU 41 acquires a normal winning lottery random number generated in the main substrate 40 and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main RWM 43 . In this case, the main CPU 41 stores the random number information in such a manner that it is for normal games and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. After that, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol input process.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the conditions for executing the normal game are satisfied. The main CPU 41 makes an affirmative determination when the normal winning game is not in progress and the normal game is not in progress, while making a negative determination when the normal winning game is in progress or the normal game is in progress. When the normal game execution condition is not satisfied, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the normal game execution condition is satisfied, the main CPU 41 determines whether the normal pending number stored in the main RWM 43 is 1 or more. When the number of normal reservations is not 1 or more, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol start process. When the number of normal reservations is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 43 and updates it. In this process, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal reservations is displayed. Further, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a normal pending number command capable of specifying the updated normal pending number.

Next, the main CPU 41 reads from the main RWM 43 the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game. When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 41 erases the first stored random number information from the main RWM 43 . Subsequently, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not to win a normal win based on the read random number information for the normal game and the normal win determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . The probability of winning a normal prize may differ between the high open state and the low open state. In the case of normal winning, the main CPU 41 determines the normal winning symbols to be derived in the normal game and the variation time of the normal game. When winning is not normally achieved, the main CPU 41 determines the normal winning symbols to be derived in the normal game and the variation time of the normal game. For example, the main CPU 41 determines the variable time of the normal game according to the game state. It should be noted that the main CPU 41 may be configured to determine the variation time of the normal game by determining a normal variation pattern in which the variation time of the normal game is determined. Ordinary fluctuation patterns may be stored in the main ROM 42 . After that, the main CPU 41 ends the normal symbol start process.

Then, the main CPU 41 executes a normal game by performing processing different from the normal symbol start processing. Concretely, the main CPU 41 starts the normal game, and when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses, the main CPU 41 causes the information display panel 22 to derive the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process. to control. In addition, the main CPU 41 stores, in the output buffer, control information that can specify that the execution of the normal game is started when the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, normal hit processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
After the normal winning game is finished, the main CPU 41 performs normal winning processing. In the normal winning process, the main CPU 41 starts control to give a normal winning game according to the game state. Therefore, the main CPU 41 gives a normal hit by performing a normal win process. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, a normal winning game is awarded after winning a normal winning game. In the normal winning process, the main CPU 41 controls the first actuator A1 so that the second starting port 28 is opened in an opening mode according to the game state.

Next, various processes performed by the sub CPU 51 will be described.
First, the effect game processing performed by the secondary CPU 51 will be described.
The sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the effect game and the effect associated with the effect game are performed. Specifically, in any of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, and the specific game state, the sub CPU 51, upon inputting a variation pattern command capable of specifying the variation pattern for the first special game, causes the effect game to be executed. control. In the case of any of the normal game state, substantially normal state, and specific game state, the sub CPU 51 controls to execute the effect game even if a variation pattern command capable of specifying the variation pattern for the second special game is input. do not On the other hand, in the special game state, when the sub CPU 51 inputs a variation pattern command capable of specifying the variation pattern for the second special game, it performs control to execute the effect game. In the special game state, the sub CPU 51 does not perform control to execute the effect game even if a variation pattern command capable of specifying the variation pattern for the first special game is input. In this way, the secondary CPU 51 executes the effect game based on the second special game when in the special game state. On the other hand, the sub CPU 51 causes the performance game based on the first special game to be executed in any of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, and the specific game state.

In performing control for executing the performance game, the sub CPU 51 determines a symbol combination of performance symbols to be finally derived in the performance game based on the variation pattern command and the symbol command. The sub CPU 51 determines a combination of symbols for a big win when the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a big win symbol. Although the details will be described later, at this time, the secondary CPU 51 determines the big win symbol combination according to the game state after the big win game ends. Further, when the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a small winning symbol, the sub CPU 51 determines a small winning symbol combination. The sub CPU 51 determines a chance symbol combination when the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a chance symbol. At this time, if a non-hit variation pattern is designated, the secondary CPU 51 may determine a chance symbol combination including reach (for example, "323" or "454"). Further, when the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a missing symbol, the sub CPU 51 determines a missing symbol combination. When the ready-to-win effect is performed in the effect game because the ready-to-win condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 51 may determine the missing symbol combination (for example, "323" or "454") including the ready-to-win. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is established when the variation pattern with non-hit reach is designated among the non-hit variation patterns.

When the sub CPU 51 inputs the variation pattern command, the sub CPU 51 controls the performance display device 25 so as to variably display the performance symbols. That is, the sub CPU 51 starts the effect game. The variation pattern command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the effect game based on the variation pattern. Further, when executing the ready-to-win effect, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to execute the ready-to-win effect. Then, the sub CPU 51 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the determined performance symbols at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub CPU 51 derives the effect symbol combination with the input of the game end command as a trigger. In addition, the sub CPU 51 may measure a variation time that can be specified from the variation pattern regardless of the game end command, and derive the effect symbol combination upon the passage of the variation time. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

Next, the winning effect processing performed by the sub CPU 51 will be described.
The sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the waiting effect is executed when the wait-for-occurrence command is input. The waiting-for-occurrence effect is executed with the content of the effect prompting the entry of the game ball into the gate 33. - 特許庁The occurrence waiting effect is executed with the content of the effect prompting the player to hit to the right. In this way, the occurrence waiting effect is executed with the effect content prompting the start of the big win game.

The sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the big win effect is performed during the big win game. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed. When a round command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed. When an ending command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed.

The sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that a small win effect is performed during the small win game. The small winning performance in the present embodiment has the content of continuing to display the small winning design by the performance design on the performance display device 25, and the display content of the performance display device 25 and the small winning game at the end of the special game of the small winning. The display contents of the effect display device 25 in the middle are the same.

Next, state processing performed by the secondary CPU 51 will be described.
The sub-RWM 53 stores information that can specify the game state. The information that can specify the game state stored in the secondary RWM 53 includes information that can specify which of the non-variable probability state and the variable probability state (hereinafter referred to as secondary probability state information). Then, when the secondary CPU 51 receives the variable probability state information command, it updates the secondary probability state information to information that can be specified from the command. The information that can specify the gaming state stored in the secondary RWM 53 includes information that can specify which of the low open state, the short high open state, and the long high open state (hereinafter referred to as the secondary open state). information). When the secondary CPU 51 receives an open state information command, it updates the secondary open state information to information that can be specified from the command.

In addition, the secondary RWM 53 stores information (hereinafter referred to as secondary variable probability number information) that can specify the remaining number of special games that can be controlled to the variable probability state. When the secondary CPU 51 inputs the probability variable frequency information command, it updates the secondary probability variable frequency information to the number of times that can be specified from the command. The secondary RWM 53 also stores information (hereinafter referred to as secondary first short number information) that can specify the remaining number of first special games that can be controlled to the short high open state. When the secondary CPU 51 receives the first short-circuit frequency information command, the secondary CPU 51 updates the secondary first short-circuit frequency information to a frequency that can be specified from the command. Similarly, the secondary RWM 53 stores information that can specify the remaining number of times of the second special game that can be controlled to the short high open state (hereinafter referred to as secondary second short number information). When the secondary CPU 51 receives the second short-circuit frequency information command, the secondary CPU 51 updates the secondary second short-circuit frequency information to the number of times that can be specified from the command. The secondary RWM 53 also stores information that can specify the remaining number of first special games that can be controlled to the long high open state (hereinafter referred to as secondary first long number of times information). When the sub CPU 51 receives the first long-time count information command, the secondary CPU 51 updates the secondary first long-time count information to the number of times that can be specified from the command. Similarly, the secondary RWM 53 stores information that can specify the remaining number of times of the second special game that can be controlled to the long high open state (hereinafter referred to as secondary second long number of times information). When the secondary CPU 51 receives the second long-time count information command, the secondary CPU 51 updates the secondary second long-time count information to the number of times that can be specified from the command.

When the opening command is input, the sub CPU 51 sets a winning state flag stored in the sub RWM 53 to a value that can specify that the big winning game is being played. When the sub CPU 51 inputs the ending command and then the variation pattern command, it sets the winning state flag stored in the sub RWM 53 to a value that can specify that the winning game is not in progress. When the sub-CPU 51 receives the small-hit occurrence command, it sets the hit state flag stored in the sub-RWM 53 to a value that can specify that the small-hit game is in progress. When the sub CPU 51 inputs the variation pattern command after inputting the small hit occurrence command, the sub CPU 51 sets a value that can identify that the game is not being played. The sub CPU 51 refers to the winning state flag stored in the sub RWM 53 to determine whether a big win game is in progress, a small win game is in progress, or a win game is not in progress (not a big win game, a small win game inside or not) can be identified. It should be noted that the sub CPU 51 may be configured to set a value that can specify that the state of waiting for the occurrence of the jackpot game is set in the hit state flag when the occurrence waiting command is input. In this case, the sub CPU 51 can identify whether or not it is waiting for the occurrence of a big win game by referring to the hit state flag stored in the sub RWM 53 .

Next, the effect mode processing performed by the sub CPU 51 will be described.
The sub-RWM 53 stores information that can specify the presentation mode (hereinafter referred to as presentation mode information). When the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the normal game state after the end of the jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 updates the effect mode information to specify that it is the normal effect mode. When the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the specific low-probability game state after the end of the jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 updates the effect mode information to specify the chance effect mode. Similarly, when the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the specific high-precision game state after the end of the big hit game, the sub CPU 51 updates the chance production mode to identifiable production mode information. Further, when the sub CPU 51 is controlled to the special game state after the end of the jackpot game, the sub CPU 51 updates the special effect mode to the effect mode information that can be specified. In addition, when the high open state ends when the chance effect mode is set, the sub CPU 51 updates the effect mode information to specify that it is the normal effect mode. Similarly, when the variable probability state ends in the special effect mode, the secondary CPU 51 updates the effect mode information to specify that it is the normal effect mode. As a result, in principle, the performance mode information when the game state is controlled to the normal game state or the substantially normal state becomes the performance mode information that can specify the normal performance mode. Further, in principle, the effect mode information when being controlled to the specific game state becomes the effect mode information that can specify that it is the chance effect mode. In addition, as a general rule, the effect mode information when being controlled to the special game state becomes the effect mode information that can specify that it is the special effect mode.

Also, the sub CPU 51 controls at least a part of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the mode identification information is notified according to the effect mode that can be specified from the effect mode information. For example, when the sub CPU 51 can identify the normal effect mode, the sub CPU 51 controls the speaker 18 so that the background sound corresponding to the normal effect mode is output. Further, for example, when the sub CPU 51 can identify the normal effect mode, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the background image corresponding to the normal effect mode is displayed. In this embodiment, the effect mode processing is performed by the sub CPU 51, thereby realizing a function as effect mode control means for controlling the effect mode.

In this embodiment, at least a part of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 functions as effect executing means. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25, thereby realizing the function of effect control means for controlling the effect execution means. Further, in the present embodiment, the secondary CPU 51 controls the decoration lamp 17 as the light emitting means, thereby realizing the function of light emission control means for controlling the light emitting means. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the speaker 18 as sound output means, thereby realizing a function as sound output control means for controlling the sound output means. In this embodiment, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 as display means, thereby realizing the function of display control means for controlling the display means.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, changes in the number of held balls with respect to the playing time in each game state will be described.
In the pachinko game machine 10, if a game ball is entered into the second start hole 28, a small win is achieved with a high probability even if a big win is not achieved. Therefore, if the ball is hit to the right, the game ball can be entered into the second start hole 28, and a small winning lottery is given to generate a chance of winning a prize ball. However, since the variation time of the second special game in the game state other than the special game state is significantly longer than the variation time of the second special game in the special game state, the small winning game is actually provided. The amount of time it takes to get a chance to win a prize ball is also significantly longer. In the present embodiment, after about 10 minutes have elapsed since the second special game was started by entering the game ball into the second starting hole 28, the second big winning hole 31a is finally reached. will be released.

And, at least when hitting to the right when in the normal game state or substantially normal state, the number of game balls consumed per predetermined unit time (the number of game balls shot) is equal to the number of game balls obtainable per predetermined unit time. exceeds the number of Furthermore, in the normal game state or substantially normal state, when hitting to the right, the game ball does not enter the non-specific first start port 26, and the game ball is difficult to enter the specific first start port 27a. , the number of special games executed per unit of predetermined time is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the normal game state or substantially normal state, it is preferable to hit left.

Further, in the specific game state, it is easier for the game ball to enter the specific first start hole 27a when hit to the right than in the normal game state or substantially normal state, and the first special game is executed. easy. Specifically, the number of game balls entering the specific first start port 27a per unit time by hitting right when in the specific game state is It tends to be larger than the number of game balls entering the non-specific first start port 26 per hit. For this reason, when it is in the specific game state, it is a situation where it is preferable to hit left.

On the other hand, in the special game state, the variation time of the second special game is shortened. Thereby, when it is in the special game state, the number of small hits per unit time tends to increase more than when it is in a game state other than the special game state. Therefore, when it is in the special game state, it is preferable to hit to the right.

Then, according to the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled in the special game state, the number of game balls consumed per unit predetermined time increases as the number of small wins per unit time increases. The number of game balls obtainable per predetermined time increases. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is controlled to a special game state, if you hit the right, even if the big hit game is not given, the game ball possessed by the grant of the small win game (so-called possession) ball) can be increased. That is, it can be said that the special game state is more advantageous than other game states.

Incidentally, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to a normal game state or a substantially normal state, left-handed hitting is assumed because left-handed hitting is preferred. However, when the game is controlled to the normal game state or substantially normal state, even if the player hits to the left, the number of balls in possession cannot be increased, and the number of balls in possession decreases as the game continues.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the specific game state is controlled, it is assumed that the player will hit to the right because it is preferable to hit to the right. However, when the game is controlled to the specific game state, even if the player hits to the right, the number of balls in possession cannot be increased, and the number of balls in possession decreases as the game continues. However, when it is controlled to the specific game state, it is possible to easily enter the game ball to the specific first start opening 27a by striking to the right, so it is controlled to the normal game state or substantially normal state Compared to the case, it is possible to suppress the reduction of the possession balls when continuing the game.

On the other hand, when it is controlled to the special game state, it is assumed that the player will hit to the right because it is preferable to hit to the right. Then, when it is controlled to the special game state, by hitting to the right, there is an opportunity that a small winning game is given per predetermined unit time and the game ball can enter the second big winning hole 31a. Since the number of balls increases, the number of balls in possession can be increased, and the number of balls in possession increases as the game continues. In this way, in the special game state, the number of winning balls per unit time is increased, thereby increasing the number of holding balls. In other words, the pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be controllable to a special game state in which the number of balls held can be increased by increasing the number of small winnings per unit time.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when it is controlled in a special game state, it is possible to expect that the period during which the special game state is controlled becomes longer while expecting a big win. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the special game state ends when the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the special game state reaches 100 times, the special game state is terminated. It can be expected that the period of control to the special game state will be longer within the period of.

Next, the game features of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state, the game is substantially in the normal state. At this time, the production mode is continuously controlled to the normal production mode.

As shown in FIGS. 6(c) and 6(d), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. When the first jackpot game is provided, the game is controlled to a special game state after the end of the first jackpot game. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the special production mode. In this way, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game is the special game state regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state. . That is, when a special big hit result is derived in the variable game in any of the normal game state and the non-specific game state, the game is controlled to the special game state after the big win game ends.

By the way, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the first jackpot game is awarded in either the normal game state or the specific game state. In that case, after the end of the first jackpot game, it is controlled to a special game state. That is, when a special big hit result is derived in the variable game in any of the normal game state and the specific game state, the game is controlled to the special game state after the big win game is finished. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big win pattern is derived in the special game and the first big win game is provided, the first big win is won in any of the normal game state and the special game state. After the game is over, it is controlled to a special game state.

As shown in FIGS. 6(e) and 6(f), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game during the normal game state and the second jackpot game is awarded, After the end of the second jackpot game, it is controlled to a specific high certainty game state. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the chance production mode. That is, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game and the second big win game is provided in the normal game state, the game state changes before and after the second big win game. In this way, when the specific big win result is derived in the variable game in the first game state, the game state controlled after the big win game ends is the specific high-probability game state.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6(g) and 6(h), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second big winning pattern is derived in the special game when in the substantially normal state, and the second big winning game is provided. In that case, after the end of the second jackpot game, it is controlled to a special game state. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the special production mode. In this way, when a specific big win result is derived in the variable game while in the non-specific game state, after the big win game is finished, the game is controlled to the special game state. In other words, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game and the second big win game is awarded in the substantially normal state, the game state changes before and after the second big win game. In this way, the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the specific big win result is derived in the variable game when the second game state is set is the special game state.

In this way, the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbols are derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is the second big win symbols in the special game in the normal game state. is derived, it is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game. In other words, the second big win pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, or the second big win pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state and after the substantial normal state is reached, the second big win pattern is generated. Whether the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is changed depends on whether it is derived or not. The game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbols are derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is the second big win symbols in the special game when the normal game state. It is more advantageous than the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed. That is, when the specific big win result is derived in the variation game in the second game state, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game is the specific big win result in the variation game in the first game state. It is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is done. Then, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the specific big win result is derived in the variable game when the second game state is reached, the specific big win result is derived in the variable game when the first game state is reached. It is more advantageous than the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed.

The game state to be controlled after the end of the first big win game when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state is the substantially normal state. This is the same as the game state controlled after the end of the second big win game when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game. That is, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the special big win result is derived in the variation game is the second game state regardless of whether the game state is the first game state or the second game state. This is the same as the game state that is controlled after the end of the big win game when the specific big win result is derived in the variable game.

By the way, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the second jackpot game is awarded in either the normal game state or the specific game state. In that case, after the end of the second jackpot game, it is controlled to a special game state. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big win pattern is derived in the special game and the second big win game is provided, the second big win is won in any of the normal game state and the special game state. After the game is over, it is controlled to a special game state.

As shown in FIGS. 6(i) and 6(j), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. When the third big winning game is awarded, after the third big winning game is finished, it is controlled to a specific low probability game state. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the chance production mode. Thus, the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the third big win symbol is derived in the special game in any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state is the specific low probability game state becomes. By the way, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the third jackpot game is awarded in either the normal game state or the specific game state. In that case, after the end of the third jackpot game, it is controlled to a specific low certainty game state. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the third big winning pattern is derived in the special game and the third big winning game is provided, the third big winning is won in any of the normal game state and the special game state. After the game is over, it is controlled to a specific low probability game state.

As shown in FIGS. 6(k) and 6(l), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the fourth jackpot symbol is derived in the special game during the normal game state and the fourth jackpot game is awarded, After the end of the fourth jackpot game, it is controlled to the normal game state. At this time, the production mode continues to be the normal production mode without switching from the normal production mode. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the fourth jackpot game is provided in the normal game state, the game state changes before and after the fourth jackpot game. After the fourth jackpot game is finished, it is controlled to a normal game state. That is, in the present embodiment, when a special jackpot result is derived in the variation game and a jackpot game is given in the first game state, the game state does not change before and after the jackpot game, and the jackpot game ends. Afterwards, it is controlled to the first game state.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6(m) and 6(n), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game when the state is substantially normal, and the fourth jackpot game is awarded. In that case, after the end of the fourth jackpot game, it is controlled to a specific low certainty game state. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the chance production mode. In this way, when the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game and the fourth big win game is awarded in the substantially normal state, the game state changes before and after the fourth big win game. In particular, the specific low-probability game state controlled after the end of the fourth big win game when the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is more advantageous than the normal game state. That is, when a special big win result is derived in the variation game and a big win game is given in the second game state, the game state changes before and after the big win game. The game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the special big win result is derived in the variable game in the second game state is more advantageous than the first game state.

Thus, the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is the fourth big win symbol in the special game in the normal game state. is derived, it is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game. In other words, when the normal game state is reached, the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, or when the normal game state is reached, the chance symbols are drawn in the special game and the fourth jackpot pattern is generated after the substantial normal state is established. Whether the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is changed depends on whether it is derived or not. Then, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the substantial normal state is reached is such that the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the normal game state is reached. It is more advantageous than the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed.

In addition, the game state to be controlled after the end of the third big win game when the third big win symbol is derived in the special game regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state is the substantially normal state. This is the same as the game state that is controlled after the fourth big win game ends when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game. That is, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when a non-special big win result is derived in the variation game is the second game state regardless of whether the game state is the first game state or the second game state. It is the same as the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the special big win result is derived in the variable game at some time.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the effect mode controlled after the second jackpot game ends is a special effect mode in the substantial normal state. This is the same as the effect mode controlled after the fourth big win game is finished when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the game. Specifically, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game when the normal game state is reached, the jackpot game is performed in the same manner as when the fourth jackpot pattern is drawn in the special game when the substantively normal state is reached. After the end, it is controlled to the chance production mode. As a result, when the jackpot game is provided in a situation where it is not possible to recognize whether it is a normal game state or a substantially normal state, even if it is controlled to the chance production mode after the jackpot game ends, the probability variable state It becomes difficult to specify whether it is a state, and the game can be enjoyed while expecting the variable probability state.

Incidentally, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game and the fourth big win game is given in the specific game state, after the fourth big win game is finished. , is controlled to a specific low certainty gaming state. In other words, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when in the specific game state is the fourth big win symbol in the special game when in the normal game state. It is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is done. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the fourth jackpot game is awarded in the special game state, after the fourth jackpot game ends, the specific low-probability game state is reached. controlled by That is, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game in the special game state is the fourth big win symbol in the special game when the normal game state is derived. It is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is done.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a game in which the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game may differ depending on whether the game state when the big win is won is the normal game state or the substantially normal state. have sex. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, attention increases as to whether the jackpot is won in the normal game state or in the substantially normal state.

In particular, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first jackpot game is awarded, regardless of whether the game state when the jackpot is won is either the normal game state or the substantially normal state, the special game state is entered after the jackpot game ends. to be controlled. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the second jackpot game is provided, if the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state, the game state is not controlled to the special game state. is controlled to a special game state. Therefore, when the normal game state becomes substantially normal state, and when the big win is won, the degree of expectation for being controlled to the special game state after the big win game ends increases. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery in a substantially normal state, the end of a big win game is higher than in a case where a big win is won in a big win lottery in a normal game state. Expectations for being controlled to a special game state later increase. That is, in the present embodiment, when a big win is won in the big win lottery when in the second game state, the number of big win games is higher than when a big win is won in the big win lottery when in the first game state. Expectations are high for being controlled to the third game state after the end.

However, in the pachinko game machine 10, the substantially normal state is not continuously controlled until a big win is won.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a chance symbol is derived in a special game while in the normal game state, the game machine 10 is substantially controlled to the normal state. When the first special game is executed 20 times in this substantially normal state, the substantially normal state ends and the game is controlled to the normal game state. Further, even before the first special game is executed 20 times, if the second special game is executed 8 times after the substantially normal state is reached, the substantially normal state ends and the normal state is reached. It will be controlled to the game state. That is, even before the second special game is executed eight times, if the first special game is executed twenty times after the substantial normal state is reached, the substantial normal state ends and the normal state is reached. It will be controlled to the game state. Thus, the conditions for ending the substantially normal state include the ending condition that is satisfied when the number of executions of the first special game reaches 20, and the termination condition that is satisfied when the number of executions of the second special game reaches 8 times. There are conditions. That is, the conditions for ending the second gaming state include a first ending condition that is satisfied when the number of executions of the first variation game reaches the first prescribed number of times, and the number of executions of the second variation game being different from the first prescribed number of times. There is a second termination condition that is met when the second prescribed number of times is reached. Further, in the present embodiment, the second specified number of times is smaller than the first specified number of times.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when a big win is won and a big win game is awarded in a substantially normal state, the substantially normal state ends. In other words, it can be said that the termination condition of the substantially normal state includes the termination condition that is met by winning a big win or the termination condition that is met by giving the big win game.

In the pachinko game machine 10, even when the same jackpot game is awarded continuously, the advantage of the game state after the jackpot game ends may increase.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the game is controlled to the specific high-accuracy game state after the second jackpot game ends. After that, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game while in the specific high probability game state, the game is controlled to the special game state after the second big win game is finished. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, it is controlled to the specific high accuracy game state after the second jackpot game is finished, and thereafter, the specific high accuracy game state is entered. When the second big win symbol is derived in the special game while in the game state, the game is controlled to the special game state after the second big win game is finished. That is, in the present embodiment, when the specific big hit result is derived in the variable game in the normal game state, the game is controlled to the specific game state after the big win game ends, and thereafter, in the specific game state, the variable game. When the specific jackpot result is derived in , it is controlled to a special game state after the jackpot game ends. At this time, the production mode is switched from the normal production mode to the chance production mode, and then from the chance production mode to the special production mode.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery triggered by the entry of a ball into the first start ports 26, 27a, the first big win has a probability of "5%." The second jackpot pattern is decided with a probability of ``45%'', the third jackpot pattern is decided with a probability of ``10%'', and the fourth jackpot pattern is decided with a probability of ``40%''. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in the big win lottery performed when the ball enters the second start hole 28, the first big win pattern has a probability of "20%", and the pattern of the big win has a probability of "30%". A second jackpot pattern, a third jackpot pattern with a probability of "22%", and a fourth jackpot pattern with a probability of "28%" are determined. Thus, when a big win is won in the big win lottery triggered by the ball entering the second starting hole 28, the big win is won in the big win lottery triggered by the ball entering the first starting holes 26, 27a. The probability that the first jackpot game is given is high as compared with the case. In other words, if a big win is won in the jackpot lottery triggered by the ball entering the second start port 28, if a big win is won in the jackpot lottery triggered by the ball entering the first start ports 26, 27a. In comparison, expectations for being controlled to the special game state after the end of the jackpot game are high. In particular, the situation in which the big win lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the second starting port 28 is frequently performed is a special game state, so even if the second big win game is awarded, the big win game will be delayed after the end of the big win game. It will be controlled to a special game state. That is, in the case of winning a big win in the jackpot lottery triggered by the ball entering the second starting hole, compared to the case of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery triggered by the ball entering the first starting hole, Expectations for being controlled to the third game state after the end of the jackpot game are high.

Next, the process of determining the type of ready-to-win effect and the process of determining the combination of symbols for a big hit will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the secondary CPU 51 performs the process of determining the type of ready-to-win effect and the process of determining the symbol combination for the big hit.

First, processing for determining the type of ready-to-win effect will be described.
Super ready-to-win performances executable in the pachinko game machine 10 include a first ready-to-win performance, a second ready-to-win performance, and a third ready-to-win performance. In the pachinko game machine 10, the secondary CPU 51 determines the type of super ready-to-win performance. Incidentally, in the pachinko game machine 10, the type of super ready-to-win effect is determined so that the third ready-to-win effect has the highest degree of expectation for big hit among the first to third ready-to-win effects. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, the type of super ready-to-win effect is determined so that the degree of expectation for a big win in the first ready-to-win effect is the lowest among the first to third ready-to-win` effects.

The sub CPU 51 determines the type of the super ready-to-win effect when the variation pattern including the super ready-to-win effect in the effect content can be specified from the variation pattern command. For example, the sub CPU 51 does not determine the type of the super ready-to-win effect when it is possible to identify a variation pattern that does not include the super ready-to-win effect in the effect contents among the variation patterns with non-hitting reach. On the other hand, for example, the sub CPU 51 determines the type of the super ready-to-win effect when it is possible to specify a variation pattern including a super ready-to-win effect in the effect contents among the variation patterns with non-hitting reach. For example, when the chance symbol can be specified from the symbol command, the secondary CPU 51 determines the type of the super ready-to-win effect when the variation pattern including the super ready-to-win effect in the effect contents can be specified. On the other hand, for example, when the chance symbol can be specified from the symbol command, the sub CPU 51 does not determine the type of the super ready-to-win effect when it is possible to specify a variation pattern other than the variation pattern including the super ready-to-win effect in the effect contents. The sub CPU 51 determines the type of super ready-to-win effect at least according to the game state and special symbols that can be specified from the symbol command.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the normal game state, the sub CPU 51 can specify any one of the symbol command, the chance symbol, the second big win symbol, the third big win symbol and the fourth big win symbol. , determines the first ready-to-win effect or the second ready-to-win effect. On the other hand, in the normal game state, the sub CPU 51 determines any one of the first ready-to-win effect to the third ready-to-win effect when the first jackpot symbol can be specified from the symbol command.

In a substantially normal state, the sub CPU 51 determines the first ready-to-win effect or the second ready-to-win effect when any one of the pattern command, the chance pattern, the third big win pattern, and the fourth big win pattern can be specified. do. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 51 is in a substantially normal state, the sub CPU 51 determines one of the first ready-to-win effect to the third ready-to-win effect when the first big win symbol or the second big win symbol can be specified from the symbol command.

In the specific game state, the sub CPU 51 determines the first ready-to-win effect or the second ready-to-win effect when any one of the symbol command, the chance symbol, the third big win symbol and the fourth big win symbol can be specified. do. On the other hand, in the specific game state, the secondary CPU 51 determines any one of the first ready-to-win effect to the third ready-to-win effect when the first big win symbol or the second big win symbol can be specified from the symbol command. Similarly, when it is in the special game state, the sub CPU 51, if any one of the pattern command, the chance pattern, the third jackpot pattern and the fourth jackpot pattern can be specified, the first ready-to-win effect or the second ready-to-win effect. determine the performance. On the other hand, in the special game state, the sub CPU 51 determines one of the first ready-to-win effect to the third ready-to-win effect when the first big win pattern or the second big win pattern can be specified from the pattern command.

Next, a process for determining a combination of symbols for a big hit will be described.
As described above, the jackpot pattern combinations in the pachinko gaming machine 10 include jackpot even number pattern combinations, jackpot odd number pattern combinations, and jackpot special pattern combinations. In the pachinko game machine 10, the sub CPU 51 determines the symbol combination for the big win.

The sub CPU 51 determines a combination of symbols for a big hit when the big-hit symbols can be specified from the symbol command. The sub CPU 51 determines a combination of symbols for the big win according to at least the gaming state and the type of the big win symbols that can be specified from the symbol command.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal gaming state, if the first jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command, the sub CPU 51 selects the jackpot even number pattern combination, the jackpot odd number pattern combination, and the jackpot special symbol combination. decide which one. Further, in the normal game state, the sub CPU 51 determines a jackpot even-numbered pattern combination or a jackpot odd-numbered pattern combination when the second jackpot pattern or the third jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command. Further, when the game is in the normal game state, the secondary CPU 51 determines a jackpot even-numbered symbol combination when the fourth jackpot symbol can be specified from the symbol command.

When the sub CPU 51 is in a substantially normal state, if the first jackpot pattern or the second jackpot pattern can be identified from the pattern command, the sub CPU 51 performs any one of a jackpot even number pattern combination, a jackpot odd number pattern combination and a jackpot special pattern combination. to decide. Further, when the sub CPU 51 is in a substantially normal state, the sub CPU 51 determines a jackpot even number pattern combination or a jackpot odd number pattern combination when the third jackpot pattern or the fourth jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command.

In the specific game state, the sub CPU 51, if the first jackpot pattern or the second jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command, selects any one of a jackpot even number pattern combination, a jackpot odd number pattern combination and a jackpot special pattern combination. to decide. Further, in the specific game state, the secondary CPU 51 determines a jackpot even-numbered pattern combination or a jackpot odd-numbered pattern combination when the third jackpot pattern or the fourth jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command. Similarly, in the special game state, if the first big win pattern or the second big win pattern can be specified from the pattern command, the sub CPU 51 can determine the even number pattern combination of the big win, the odd number pattern combination of the big win and the special pattern combination of the big win. Decide which one. Further, in the special game state, the sub CPU 51 determines a jackpot even number pattern combination or a jackpot odd number pattern combination when the third jackpot pattern or the fourth jackpot pattern can be specified from the pattern command.

In addition, when the sub CPU 51 determines a special symbol combination for a big win as a symbol combination for a big win, the sub CPU 51 determines the type of performance symbols forming a ready-to-win state. At this time, the sub CPU 51 determines the type of performance pattern forming the ready-to-win from among the performance patterns imitating the numbers "1" to "8". Then, when the special pattern combination of the big hit is determined as the pattern combination of the big win, the sub CPU 51 controls the performance display device 25 so as to form the ready-to-win with the performance symbols of the kind determined as the performance to form the ready-to-win. After that, the sub CPU 51 controls the performance display device 25 so that the pattern forming the ready-to-win state is switched from the 'performance pattern imitating the numbers' to the 'G pattern' at the timing after the start of the super ready-to-win performance.

In addition, the sub CPU 51 controls the performance display device 25 so that the super ready-to-win performance is executed at the timing after starting the normal ready-to-win performance in executing the determined type of super ready-to-win performance. At this time, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the determined type of super ready-to-win effect is executed.

Here, based on FIG. 9, whether or not to execute the third ready-to-win effect according to the game state during stay and the special symbols derived in the special game will be described. In addition, in this embodiment, the third ready-to-win effect corresponds to the special effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, the third ready-to-win effect, which corresponds to the special effect among the effects that can be executed by the effect display device 25, is during the execution of the effect game, and the symbol combination is derived in the effect game. is also executable before.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the first jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the third reach. A rendition can be performed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect can be executed when the first jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. As described above, in the present embodiment, a special effect can be executed when a special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in either the normal state or the special state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the third ready-to-win performance is not executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in a substantially normal state, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the specific big hit result is derived in the variable game in the normal state, the special effect is not executed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when a specific jackpot result is derived in the variable game in the special state, a special effect can be executed. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the specific game state or the special game state, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the third jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the third reach is achieved. Performance is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed when the third jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, regardless of whether the game is in the normal game state or the substantially normal state. As described above, in the present embodiment, no special effect is executed when a non-special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in either the normal state or the special state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the third reach. Performance is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed when the fourth jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. As described above, in the present embodiment, no special effect is executed when a special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in either the normal state or the special state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when a winning symbol is derived in the special game, a second special effect is performed. 3 reach production is not executed. In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed when a losing symbol is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. As described above, in the present embodiment, no special effect is executed when a non-specific result is derived in the variable game in either the normal state or the special state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the chance symbols are derived in the special game, the second special effect is performed. 3 reach production is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed when the chance symbols are derived in the special game, regardless of whether the game is in the normal game state or the substantially normal state. As described above, in the present embodiment, no special effect is executed when a specific result is derived in the variable game in either the normal state or the special state.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, as described above, when a small winning pattern is derived in the special game, the ready-to-win effect is not executed. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed when a small winning symbol is derived in the special game, regardless of whether the game is in the normal game state or the substantially normal state.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed even if any one of the small winning symbols, the chance symbols and the winning symbols is derived in the special game. In other words, in any of the normal state and the special state, the special performance is not executed when the result derived in the variable game when the big win is not won in the big win lottery is derived in the variable game.

Next, based on FIG. 10, the existence or non-existence of the possibility of deriving a big hit special symbol combination in the production game according to the game state during stay and the big win symbols derived in the special game will be described. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the big hit special symbol combination corresponds to the special effect symbol result. In the pachinko game machine 10, the jackpot pattern combinations include a jackpot even-numbered pattern combination, a jackpot odd-numbered pattern combination, and a jackpot special pattern combination, as described above. Thus, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of jackpot pattern results, including special effect pattern results, in the jackpot pattern results.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any one of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the first jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, in the production game A jackpot special symbol combination may be derived. In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game, the special symbol combination of the big win can be derived in the production game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. . As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special jackpot result is derived in the variable game, the special effect symbol result can be derived in the effect game in either the normal state or the special state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the jackpot special pattern combination is not derived in the performance game. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in a substantially normal state, a jackpot special pattern combination may be derived in the effect game. In this way, when the specific big hit result is derived in the variable game in the normal state, the special effect symbol result is not derived in the effect game. On the other hand, when the specific big hit result is derived in the variable game in the special state, the special effect symbol result can be derived in the effect game. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game in the specific game state or the special game state, there is a case where the big win special symbol combination is derived in the production game.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is any of the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state and the special game state, when the third big winning pattern is derived in the special game, in the production game No jackpot special symbol combination is derived. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the third big win pattern is derived in the special game, the special pattern combination for the big win is not derived in the performance game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. In this way, when a non-special big hit result is derived in the variable game, no special effect symbol result is derived in the effect game in any of the normal state and the special state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the game state is the normal game state, the substantially normal state, the specific game state, or the special game state, when the fourth jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the effect No jackpot special symbol combination is derived in the game. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game, the special pattern combination for the big win is not derived in the performance game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. Thus, when the special big hit result is derived in the variable game, the special effect symbol result is not derived in the effect game, regardless of whether it is in the normal state or the special state.

Incidentally, in the normal game state, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the jackpot even pattern combination, the jackpot odd pattern combination, and the jackpot special pattern combination are selected in the production game. Only even symbol combinations can be derived in the directed game. On the other hand, in a game state other than the normal game state, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the jackpot even number pattern combination, the jackpot odd number pattern combination and the jackpot special pattern combination are performed in the performance game. Of these, a jackpot even numbered symbol combination or a jackpot odd numbered symbol combination can be derived in the production game. In other words, when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the kind of the big win symbol combination derived in the effect game is the even-numbered big win symbol combination. On the other hand, when the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game in a substantially normal state, the types of the big win pattern combination derived in the performance game are the big win even number pattern combination and the big win odd number pattern combination. Thus, the type of the jackpot symbol combination derived in the effect game when the fourth jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state is the fourth jackpot symbol combination in the special game in the substantially normal state. At least a part thereof is different from the kind of the big winning symbol combination derived in the production game when the big winning symbols are derived. That is, the type of the jackpot pattern result derived in the effect game when the special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in the normal state is the type when the special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in the special state. At least partly differs from the type of the jackpot symbol result derived in the directing game.

When the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, in the performance game, the jackpot even number pattern combination, the jackpot odd number pattern combination and the jackpot special pattern combination are the jackpot even number patterns. Combinations or jackpot odd symbol combinations can be derived in the presentation game. That is, when the second big winning pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the types of the big winning pattern combination derived in the performance game are the big winning even numbered pattern combination and the big winning odd numbered pattern combination. In this way, when the second big win symbol combination is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the type of the big win symbol combination derived in the effect game is the fourth big win symbol combination in the special game in the substantially normal state. It is the same as the kind of the big winning symbol combination derived in the production game when the big winning symbol is derived. That is, the type of the jackpot pattern result derived in the effect game when the specific jackpot result is derived in the variable game in the normal state is the type when the special jackpot result is derived in the variable game in the special state. It is the same as the type of the jackpot pattern result derived in the production game.

The effects of this embodiment will be described below.
(1) The second jackpot symbols are derived in the special game depending on whether the state is a normal game state or a substantively normal state controlled after the chance symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state. , the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is different. In other words, the second jackpot symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state, or the chance symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state and the second jackpot symbols are generated in the special game after the substantial normal state is reached. The game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game differs depending on whether the big win pattern is derived. Thus, in the normal game state, not only the second big win symbols are derived in the special game, but even if the big win lottery does not win the big win, the chance symbols are derived in the special game and the actual normal state is established. It is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to whether or not it will be, and to improve the interest.

(2) The game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game when the state is substantially normal is the second jackpot pattern in the special game when the normal game state. It is more advantageous than the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is derived. Thus, in the normal game state, the chance symbols are derived in the special game before the second big win symbols are derived in the special game, even if the big win lottery does not win the big win, and the actual normal state is established. It is possible to improve the degree of attention to the character and improve the interest. Furthermore, when the chance pattern is derived in the special game and the state is substantially normal, it is possible to raise the degree of attention as to whether the second big win pattern is derived in the special game and improve the interest.

(3) When the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the first jackpot symbol is derived in the special game regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state is the substantially normal state. This is the same as the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game. Therefore, even in the normal game state, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, a situation is created in which the game state is controlled after the big win game ends. , It is possible to improve interest.

(4) When a big win is won in a big win lottery, the ratio of determining the first big winning pattern as the big winning pattern is smaller than the ratio of determining the second big winning pattern as the big winning pattern. As a result, the chances of deriving the second big-hit symbol as the big-hit symbol increase. Therefore, when the first jackpot pattern is derived in the normal game state, and the second jackpot pattern is drawn in the special game when the substantively normal state is reached, the game state is controlled after the jackpot game ends. It is possible to increase the surprise when being controlled, and as a result, it is possible to improve interest.

(5) When the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the variable game and the jackpot game is awarded in the normal game state, the game state does not change before and after the jackpot game, and after the jackpot game ends, the normal game state is reached. controlled by On the other hand, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game and the jackpot game is given in the substantially normal state controlled after the chance patterns are drawn in the special game in the normal game state, the jackpot game is awarded. The game state changes before and after the game. In other words, when the normal game state is reached, the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, or when the normal game state is reached, the chance symbols are drawn in the special game and the fourth jackpot pattern is generated after the substantial normal state is established. Whether the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is changed depends on whether it is derived or not. Thus, in the normal game state, not only the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game, but even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery, the chance symbols are derived in the special game and the state is substantially normal. It is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to whether or not it will be, and to improve the interest.

(6) The game state that is controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the state is substantially the normal state is more advantageous than the normal game state. In other words, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the substantial normal state is reached is such that the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the normal game state is reached. It is more advantageous than the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed. Thus, in the normal game state, the chance symbols are derived in the special game before the fourth big win symbols are derived in the special game, even if the big win lottery does not win the big win, and the state is substantially normal. It is possible to improve the degree of attention to the character and improve the interest. Furthermore, when the chance pattern is derived in the special game and the state is substantially normal, it is possible to raise the degree of attention as to whether the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game and to improve the interest.

(7) When the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the third jackpot symbol is derived in the special game regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state is the substantially normal state. It is the same as the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game. Therefore, even if it is in the normal game state, when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, a situation is created in which the game state is controlled after the big win game ends. , It is possible to improve interest.

(8) When a big win is won in a big win lottery, the ratio of determining the third big winning pattern as the big winning pattern is smaller than the ratio of determining the fourth big winning pattern as the big winning pattern. As a result, the chances of deriving the fourth jackpot pattern as the jackpot pattern increase. Therefore, when the third big win pattern is derived in the normal game state, and the fourth big win pattern is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, the game state is controlled after the big win game ends. It is possible to increase the surprise when being controlled, and as a result, it is possible to improve interest.

(9) Even if a big win is not won in a big win lottery, if a chance pattern is derived in a special game in a normal game state, the game is controlled to a substantially normal state which is more advantageous than the normal game state. Therefore, it can be expected that not only the big win will be won in the big win lottery, but even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery, the chance symbols will be derived in the special game and the control will be performed in a substantially normal state. Under the game property, it is possible to improve interest. Furthermore, the conditions for ending the substantially normal state include a first ending condition that is satisfied when the number of executions of the first special game reaches 20 times, which is the first prescribed number of times, and a second regulation that the number of executions of the second special game is satisfied. There is a second end condition that is met when the number of times reaches eight. That is, when the substantially normal state is established, the substantially normal state ends when the first special game is executed twenty times or the second special game is executed eight times. In this way, the number of executions of each special game of the first special game and the second special game satisfies the condition for ending the substantially normal state. When the total number of times reaches the prescribed number, it is possible to create a game that is different from the case where the conditions for ending the substantially normal state are satisfied, and to improve the interest.

(10) In a substantially normal state, since it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the left region R1a, basically, the game ball enters the non-specific first start hole 26 which is the first start hole. , the first special game is assumed to be executed. It can be inferred that the situation where the second special game is executed in such a substantially normal state causes the game ball to flow down to the right side area R2a instead of the recommended left side area R1a. Therefore, if the second special game is executed as a result of the gaming balls flowing down to the right side region R2a instead of the recommended left side region R1a, then the number of times is less than the first specified number of times. When the second special game is executed for the second specified number of times, which is the smallest, the normal state is substantially terminated. As a result, it is possible to promote the flow of game balls to the recommended left region R1a in the substantially normal state so that more special games are executed in the substantially normal state. Under the game property, it is possible to effectively improve interest.

(11) In the special game state in which it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the right region R2a where the game ball can be expected to enter the second start port 28, the game ball cannot enter the second start port 28. Compared to the normal game state and the substantially normal state where it is recommended that the game ball flow down to the left side area R1a which cannot be expected, there are many opportunities for a big winning lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the second starting port 28.例文帳に追加As a result, in the special game state, which is more advantageous than the normal game state and the substantially normal state, the jackpot lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the second start port 28 results in a big hit as compared to the normal game state and the substantially normal state. By winning , there is a high expectation of being controlled to a special game state after the end of the jackpot game. For this reason, it is possible to create a game property that raises attention to the fact that the game is controlled to the special game state, and to improve interest.

In addition, when a big win is won in a big win lottery in a substantially normal state, compared with a case where a big win in a big win lottery is won in a normal game state, a special game state is entered after the big win game is finished. Expectations of being controlled are high. Thus, when the state is substantially normal, it is possible to raise the degree of attention to winning the big win in the big win lottery before the conditions for terminating the substantially normal state are established, and the first special game and the second special game can be raised. It is possible to further enjoy the game property in which the end condition of the substantially normal state is established depending on the number of executions of each special game.

(12) When the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, after the jackpot game is finished, the special game state is controlled to be more advantageous than the normal game state. After that, when the second big winning pattern is derived in the special game again in the specific game state, the special game state is controlled to be more advantageous than the specific game state after the big winning game is finished. In this way, even if the second big win symbols are derived in the special game in the normal game state, and the second big win symbols are derived in the special game again in the specific game state after that, the big win is achieved. The degree of advantage in the game state after the end of the game gradually increases. Therefore, even when a big win is won in the big win lottery and the second big win symbols are continuously derived in the special game, the change of the game state can be enjoyed and the interest can be improved.

(13) In the special game state, it is possible to increase the number of balls in hand by increasing the number of small winnings per unit time. In other words, in the special game state, the player can increase the number of balls in his/her possession without winning a big win. can be improved.

(14) When the first big win symbol is derived in the special game in any of the normal game state and the specific game state, the game is controlled to the special game state after the big win game ends. Therefore, even if the player is in the normal game state, a situation is created in which the game is controlled to the special game state without going through the specific game state, and the interest can be improved.

(15) When a chance symbol that can be derived when a big winning lottery is not won in a special game in a normal game state is derived, the game may be controlled to a substantially normal state thereafter. Then, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, the third ready-to-win effect can be executed. However, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the third ready-to-win effect is not executed. In this way, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, if the time is substantially normal, there is a possibility that the third ready-to-win effect, which should not be executed in the normal game state, is executed. Therefore, even when the second jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, whether or not the execution of the third ready-to-win performance can be expected can be varied depending on whether the control is substantially in the normal state, and interest is improved. can be achieved.

(16) The third ready-to-win effect can be executed when the first jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state. Therefore, even in the normal game state, it is possible to expect that the third ready-to-win effect will be executed in the same way as when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, Interest can be improved.

(17) Among the special symbols derived when a big win is not won in the jackpot lottery, when a lost symbol that is not controlled to a substantially normal state even if derived is derived in the special game, the normal game state and the substantially normal state are derived. The third ready-to-win effect is not executed in the special game in any of the states. As a result, even when a big hit is not won, attention can be increased as to whether the special pattern derived in the special game is the chance pattern or the lost pattern, and interest can be improved. In other words, it is possible to entertain the situation in which the player did not win the jackpot, which is generally uninteresting, and to effectively improve interest.

(18) When a chance symbol that can be derived when a big winning lottery is not won in a special game in a normal game state is derived, the game may be controlled to a substantially normal state thereafter. Then, when the second big winning symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, a big winning special symbol combination can be derived in the effect game. However, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the jackpot special symbol combination is not derived. In this way, when the second big winning symbols are derived in the special game, if the time is substantially normal state, the big winning special symbol combination that should not be derived in the normal game state can be derived in the effect game. have a nature. Therefore, even if the second big win pattern is derived in the special game, whether or not the big win special pattern combination can be expected to be derived in the performance game is made different depending on whether or not the control is in a substantially normal state. It is possible to improve interest.

(19) When the first big win symbol is derived in the special game in any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state, a big win special symbol combination can be derived in the effect game. Therefore, even in the normal game state, it is expected that the special symbol combination of the big win will be derived in the same way as when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state. , It is possible to improve interest.

(20) In any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state, when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game, no big win special symbol combination is derived in the effect game. However, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game in the normal game state, the type of the jackpot pattern combination derived in the effect game is the fourth jackpot pattern in the special game when the substantively normal state. is derived, at least partly differs from the type of the jackpot symbol combination derived in the effect game. That is, when the fourth jackpot pattern is derived in the special game, the fourth jackpot pattern is not derived, but the jackpot pattern combination derived in the production game differs depending on whether the normal game state or the substantially normal state. By letting the player enjoy the change in the big hit pattern combination, it is possible to improve the amusement.

(21) The type of the jackpot symbol combination derived in the production game when the second jackpot symbols are derived in the special game in the normal gaming state is the fourth jackpot in the special game when the substantial normal state is reached. It is the same as the type of the jackpot symbol combination derived in the production game when the symbols are derived. Thus, even if the jackpot symbols derived in the special game are different, the combination of the jackpot symbols derived in the production game may be the same. Attention can be suppressed, both the special game and the performance game can be enjoyed, and the interest can be easily improved.

The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.
・The advantage of the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game when it is substantially normal state is the second big win symbol in the special game when it is normal game state. It may be the same as the advantage of the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when is derived. For example, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbols are derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is the second big win symbols in the special game when the normal game state is derived. It may be the same as the game state that is controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed.

・Regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the first jackpot symbol is derived in the special game is special when the state is substantially the normal state. The game state may be different from the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the second big win symbol is derived in the game. For example, the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state is substantially the normal state and the second big win symbol is derived in the special game. It is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is done. On the other hand, the gaming state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game when the substantially normal state is derived is the second big win symbol when the special game is substantially normal state. It may be the same as the game state that is controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed. In this way, when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the big win game may be changed depending on whether it is the normal game state or the substantially normal state. In addition, when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the big win game may be changed depending on whether it is the normal game state or the specific game state. Similarly, when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the big win game may be changed depending on whether it is the normal game state or the special game state.

・Regardless of whether the state is the normal game state or the substantially normal state, if the third jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is special when the state is substantially the normal state. The game state may be different from the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the game. For example, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the third big win symbol is derived in the special game in the normal game state is substantially the normal state and the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game. It is different from the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when it is done. On the other hand, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the third big win symbol is derived in the special game when the substantially normal state is derived is the fourth big win symbol when the special game is substantially normal state. It may be the same as the game state that is controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the game is executed. Thus, when the third big win symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game may be changed depending on whether it is the normal game state or the substantially normal state. In addition, when the third jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the jackpot game ends may be changed depending on whether the game state is the normal game state or the specific game state. Similarly, when the third jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the jackpot game ends may be changed depending on whether the game state is the normal game state or the special game state.

When a big win is won in a big win lottery, the ratio of determining the first big winning pattern as the big winning pattern may be the same as the ratio of determining the second big winning pattern as the big winning pattern. Also, when a big win is won in a big win lottery, the ratio of determining the second big winning pattern as the big winning pattern may be smaller than the ratio of determining the first big winning pattern as the big winning pattern.

In the case where the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the game state to be controlled after the jackpot game ends may be the same regardless of whether the game is in the normal game state or the substantially normal state. For example, in any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game, the game is configured to be controlled to the specific high-accuracy game state after the big win game ends. good too. Similarly, in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state, when the fourth jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, even if the game state to be controlled after the jackpot game ends is the same. good. For example, in any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state, when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game, it may be configured to be controlled to the normal game state after the big win game ends. .

The game state to be controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game when the state is substantially normal state may be the normal game state. For example, the advantage of the game state controlled after the end of the big win game when the fourth big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state is the fourth big win in the special game in the normal game state. It may be the same as the advantage of the game state controlled after the end of the jackpot game when the symbol is derived.

- When a big win is won and the game is controlled to a special game state after the end of the big win game, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed. For example, when the second jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed. For example, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed when the first jackpot symbol is derived in the special game in either the normal game state or the substantially normal state.

- The configuration may be such that the third ready-to-win effect can be executed even when the jackpot is not won. In other words, the third ready-to-win effect may be executed even when a winning symbol is derived in the special game.

- The third ready-to-win effect may be a ready-to-win effect (so-called all-rotation ready-to-win effect) in which the symbol combination for the big hit is variably displayed. The all-rotation ready-to-win production is a production in which the performance symbols of each row are synchronously and variably displayed in a state in which a big hit pattern combination is formed by the performance symbols of each row. Then, when the all-rotation ready-to-win effect is executed, the player can specify that it is a big hit.

- Only when the third ready-to-win effect is executed, the special symbol combination for the big win may be fixed and stopped. For example, only when the third ready-to-win effect is determined as the type of ready-to-win effect, the sub CPU 51 may be configured to be able to determine a special symbol combination for a big hit as the symbol combination to be fixed and displayed.

- You may change the end condition of a substantially normal state. For example, the conditions for ending the substantially normal state include a first ending condition that is satisfied when the number of executions of the first special game reaches 20 times, which is the first specified number of times, and a second condition that the number of executions of the second special game reaches the second specified number of times. Only one of the second termination condition that is satisfied when reaching eight times of . In addition, for example, the condition for ending the substantially normal state may be an ending condition that is satisfied when the total number of executions of the first special game and the number of executions of the second special game reaches a specified number. For example, the end condition of the substantially normal state may be an end condition that is established when the number of times the small win is won (the number of times the small win game is awarded) reaches a specified number of times. The condition for terminating the substantially normal state can also be regarded as the condition for terminating the short-circuit, high-open state.

・You may change the end condition of the long high open state. For example, the end conditions for the long high open state include the end condition fulfilled by completing the first special game for 150 times and the end condition fulfilled by completing the second special game for 10000 times. Only one of them may be used. Alternatively, for example, the end condition for the long, high-open object may be a condition that is satisfied when the total number of executions of the first special game and the number of executions of the second special game reaches a specified number. For example, the termination condition of the long high open state may be an termination condition that is met when the number of times a small win is won (the number of times a small win game is awarded) reaches a specified number of times.

- You may change the area|region where it is recommended to make a game ball flow down in each game state. For example, in a substantially normal state, it may be configured such that it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to a region different from the normal game state. For example, in the normal game state, it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the left region R1a, while in the substantially normal state, it may be recommended to let the game ball flow down to the right region R2a. For example, in the special game state, it may be configured such that it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the left region R1a. For example, in the specific game state, it may be configured so that it is recommended to let the game ball flow down to the left region R1a.

- The special game state does not have to be a game state in which the number of balls in hand can be increased by increasing the number of small winnings per unit time. For example, the special game state may be a game state in which the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery is higher than when the probability is variable. For example, the special game state may be a game state in which the period during which the long high open state is controlled is longer than the period during which the specific game state is controlled in the above embodiment.

If a big win is won and the game is controlled to a special game state after the end of the big win game, the special symbol combination for the big win may be derived in the performance game. For example, when the second big win symbol is derived in the special game in the substantially normal state, the special symbol combination of the big win may be derived in the effect game. For example, when the first big win symbol is derived in the special game in any of the normal game state and the substantially normal state, the special symbol combination for the big win may be derived in the effect game. .

・Even if the big win is not won, the special symbol combination for the big win may be derived in the production game. In other words, even when winning symbols are derived in the special game, it may be constructed such that a special symbol combination for a big hit can be derived in the effect game.

・When the special symbol combination of the big win is fixed and stopped, for example, after the symbol combination of the big win other than the special symbol combination of the big win is temporarily stopped and displayed, the special symbol combination of the big win is displayed instead of the special symbol combination of the big win. It may be configured such that the fixed stop display is finally displayed. In this case, the player is made to pay attention to whether or not the big win pattern combination is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then if the big win pattern combination is temporarily stopped and displayed, it is made to pay attention to whether or not the relevant pattern combination is changed to the big win special pattern combination. You can improve your interest. The special symbol combination for the big hit is a symbol combination composed of a plurality of rows of performance symbols, but may be, for example, one performance symbol.

- There may be two or more types of controllable production modes in the normal game state. For example, the production mode controlled in the normal game state and the production mode controlled in the substantially normal state may be different. Then, either the normal game state or the substantially normal state may be specified. In addition, for example, when the second jackpot symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game when it is in a specific effect mode among the controllable effect modes in the normal game state, the third ready-to-win effect is executed. may be configured to obtain On the other hand, for example, when the second jackpot symbol is determined and stopped in the special game when the second jackpot symbol is fixed and displayed in the special game when the controllable effect mode is the effect mode other than the specific effect mode among the controllable effect modes in the normal game state, the third reach. It may be configured so that the production is not executed. Further, for example, when the second big win symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game when it is in a specific effect mode among the controllable effect modes in the normal game state, the special symbol combination of the big win is confirmed. It may be configured so that it can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, for example, when the second big win symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game in a performance mode other than the specific performance mode among the performance modes that can be controlled in the normal game state, the special game of the big win is performed. It may be configured so that the symbol combination is not fixed and displayed. When it is controlled to a specific production mode, it can be regarded as a special state, and when it is controlled to a production mode other than the specific production mode, it can be regarded as a normal state. Of the production modes that can be controlled in the normal game state, a specific production mode is given as an example, but not limited to this, for example, a specific production (for example, a notice production or a mission production) during the execution of a special game ) is running.

The special game that is executed when a game ball enters a starting hole having a variable member such as the specific first starting hole 27a may not be the first special game as in the above embodiment. , may be a second special game.

・As a pachinko machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state, a specification to control to a variable probability state until the next big win game is awarded, a specification to control to a variable probability state until winning the falling lottery (falling machine), a predetermined number of times There is a specification (ST machine) that controls to a variable state until the special game of minutes ends. In addition, the pachinko game machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state has a specification (V variable machine) that controls the variable probability state when the game ball passes through a specific area. The pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment may be embodied as a pachinko gaming machine with any of these specifications. Moreover, it may be a pachinko game machine with a specification that mixes the falling machine and the V-variable machine described above. In addition, the V-variable machine has a specification that provides a single large winning opening and causes a specific round game. The V variable machine is equipped with a plurality of large winning openings consisting of a large winning opening (V winning opening) opened in a specific round game and a large winning opening opened in a round game other than a specific round game, and a specific round There are specifications that cause play. Each embodiment may be embodied in any specification of V definite transformer. The above embodiment does not have to be a game machine that can be controlled to a special game state (small hit rush).

When the pachinko game machine of the above embodiment is embodied as a V certain machine, when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery triggered by the ball entering the first start port 26, 27a, and the second start port 28 The degree of expectation to be controlled to the variable probability state after the end of the big win game may be different from when the big win is won in the big win lottery triggered by the entry of a ball. For example, when a big win is won in a jackpot lottery triggered by a ball entering the second starting port 28, when a big win is won in a jackpot lottery triggered by a ball entering the first starting ports 26, 27a. On the other hand, it may be configured such that the probability that a type of jackpot game with a high degree of expectation for the game ball to pass through the specific area in the jackpot game is given is increased. In such a configuration, not only is the player focused on the game state after the end of the big win game, but also whether the special game that resulted in the big win is the first special game or the second special game. , It is possible to improve interest.

The number of game balls consumed (the number of game balls shot) in the above embodiment is the number of game balls shot to the game area 21, and can also be said to be the number of effective balls. The number of game balls to be paid out in the above embodiment is the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls, and can also be called the number of prize balls. This number of prize balls may be the number of prize balls when all the balls enter the prize openings, or the number of prize balls excluding the prize balls that are paid out when the balls enter some of the prize openings. good too.

- The above-described embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko game machine in which a virtual medium composed of electronic data is provided when game balls are provided. That is, the above embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (so-called management gaming machine) in which physical game media are not paid out. Such a pachinko game machine is configured to be able to convert a game ball into a game ball that can be shot by using a virtual medium, and to shoot the game ball.

In the above embodiment, the sub-board 50 is used as a sub-integrated control board, and apart from the sub-board 50, a display control board that exclusively controls the effect display device 25, a light emission control board that exclusively controls the decorative lamp 17, and the speaker 18 are installed. A dedicated control sound control board may be provided. A sub-board (sub-control section) may include such a sub-integrated control board and other boards that control effects.

- In the above embodiment, the main CPU 41 of the main board 40 and the sub CPU 51 of the sub board 50 may be mounted on a single board. Further, in the above modification, the display control board, the light emission control board, and the sound control board may be arbitrarily combined to form a single board or a plurality of boards.

- The information display panel 22 may include a remaining number display section for displaying the remaining number of prize balls to be paid out to the player. The information display panel 22 may include a round number display section for displaying the number of round games during the jackpot game. In addition, the various display units of the information display panel 22 do not need to be provided on the same member (the information display panel 22 in the above embodiment). may be provided on another member.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiment and modifications will be described.
