It is. Then, the c counter is a predetermined “big hit value”
If you select (for example, “0”), “big hit”
And the c counter selects a value other than “big hit value”.
If it is selected, it will be "out". Therefore, "
The probability of occurrence of "story" is 1/235. In S54, it is determined whether or not a "big hit" has occurred.
If it is determined to be YES (that is,
Is determined), the special symbol table is determined in S55.
The "big hit symbol" is displayed on the display unit 3. Such "
The "pattern" is displayed at the moment when the "big hit"
"Big hit symbol" corresponding to the value of the counter (that is,
"0,0,0"-"9,9,9", "A, A, A"-
16 patterns of "F, F, F" (see FIG. 5)
One of them is displayed on the special symbol display 3
Executed. On the other hand, if NO is determined in S54 (the
In other words, if it is determined to be "out", a special symbol
The “missing symbol” is displayed on the display unit 3. Like this
The display of “rear symbol” is the e-g
The symbol corresponding to the counter value (see Fig. 6) is a special symbol
By being displayed on each of the display parts 10 to 12 of the display unit 3,
Is executed. However, the e at the moment of “losing”
~ The combination of symbols corresponding to the value of the counter is accidental
Is a combination equivalent to a "big hit"
Means that “1” is added to the numerical value selected only for the g counter.
And the symbol corresponding to the value is displayed (for example,
The values of the e to g counters at the moment of “out” are
If all are "1", left symbol, middle symbol, right symbol
As the "losing figure" of "1,1,2" on the special symbol display section 3.
Pattern is displayed). Then, "ha" is displayed on the special symbol display section 3.
S51 is repeatedly executed after the "shifted design" is displayed
Is done. The change of the special symbol is performed for a predetermined time (for example,
(For example, for about 4.3 seconds)
Stop table after a predetermined time (for example, about 10 seconds)
It is performed in the manner shown. Also, finally,
Whether the "Symbol" is displayed or the "Outer design" is displayed
Regardless, the display of special symbols from fluctuation to stop display is
Special symbols that fluctuate in each display area 10-12 are shown in the table on the left.
Indicated part 10, middle display part 11, right display part 12
The stop display is performed continuously, and the stop display is performed first.
Only two special symbols (ie, left symbol, right symbol)
If it is one, the player's "big hit"
For the purpose of raising the expectation, the remaining right symbols first stop
"Leach" is different from the case where the two symbols shown are not the same.
The display is stopped after the display is changed. In S55, the special symbol display section 3 displays "
After the "pattern" is displayed, in the following S56, the content determining means
Judge whether the numerical value of the j counter which is 26 is “0”
(Note that when the power of the pachinko machine 1a is turned on,
Then, the value of the j counter is set to "2"
). Then, when it is determined as YES, S58
Then, a "first jackpot state" occurs. "First jackpot
When the "state" occurs, the predetermined illuminated lamps 8, 8, side
The lamps 23, 23, etc. blink, sound effects are generated, and
The excitement is excited and the special winning opening 7 is held for a predetermined time.
(For example, for 25 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example,
(For example, 9) game balls are opened until a winning is detected. So
Then, during the opening of the special winning opening 7, a game ball is placed on the placing portion 13.
Is placed on the placing portion 13 when the big winning opening 7 is closed.
If a game ball passed through the special prize area,
After a predetermined time (for example, about 10 seconds) after the mouth 7 is closed
Again. Therefore, when the special winning opening 7 is opened,
When the ball is placed on the placing portion 13, the winning opening 7 is intermittently
Repeat opening operation. In addition, the mounting portion 13 is extremely gaming
Because the ball has a shape that can be easily placed,
A situation where the game ball does not pass through the special winning area at the time of closing
Hardly occurs. Also, during the "1st big hit condition"
Here, the special winning opening 7 is opened up to four times intermittently. I
Therefore, when the "first big hit condition" occurs, many
This is advantageous for the player because a prize ball can be obtained. On the other hand, if NO is determined in S56,
Indicates that the numerical value selected by the j counter is "1" in S57.
Is determined, and if YES is determined,
In S59, a "second jackpot state" occurs. "The second big
When the "hit state" occurs, the "first big hit state" occurs
A very high probability of entering
Prize mouth 7 is opened up to eight times intermittently. Therefore,
When the "2 big hits" state occurs, the "1st gaming state" occurs
The expected value of the number of prize balls paid out is higher than if
It is very advantageous for the person. Further, when NO is determined in S57
(Ie, when the value of the j counter is "2")
In step S60, a "third big hit state" occurs. "No.
When the "3 big hit state" occurs, "1st big hit state"
And the same mode as when the "second big hit state" occurs
With a very high probability, the winning opening 7 is intermittent up to 16 times
Will be opened. Therefore, the “second jackpot state”
When it occurs, a “first game state” or a “second game state” occurs
The expected value of the number of prize balls paid out is higher than
It is very advantageous for As described above, in each of steps S58 to S60,
After the “big hit state” occurs, the content is determined in S61.

When the game balls are awarded to the winning openings 27-29,
Is determined. That is, in S17,
It is determined whether the k counter is "1" or not and YES is determined.
If the game is rejected (that is, the game to the first variable winning opening 27).
It was judged that a "big hit" was triggered by the ball winning
), The k counter is reset to “0” in S19.
After being set, the "first big hit state" is generated in S22.
Wake up. If NO is determined in S17, S
At 18, it is determined whether or not the 1 counter is "1".
When it is determined to be ES (that is, the second variable winning opening 28)
Was a "big hit" triggered by a game ball winning
If it is determined), in S20, the 1 counter is set to “0”.
After being reset to "
State ”occurs. Further, if NO is determined in S18,
(In such a case, if the m counter is "1",
In other words, the game ball is won in the third variable winning port 29.
(Only when it is a "big hit" as an opportunity)
After the m counter is reset to “0” in S21
Then, a "third big hit state" occurs in S24. On the other hand, if NO is determined in S15 (the
In other words, if it is determined that "out of place")
Is displayed after the "missing symbol" is displayed on the special symbol display section 3.
Then, S1 to S3 are repeatedly executed. What
