A numerical value is acquired and stored in the second random number storage means 58 in sequence with a predetermined upper limit holding number (for example, 4) as a limit.
[0068]
When one or more jackpot determination random number values are stored in the second random number storage means 58, the special reserved number display means 33 counts the number of stored jackpot determination random values (special reserved number). ) Is displayed, and the player is notified of the special reserve number at that time.
[0069]
When the special symbol display means 35 is in a state in which it can be variably displayed and one or more jackpot determination random numbers are stored in the second random number storage means 58, the second determination means 59 is replaced with the second random number storage means. One of the jackpot determination random number values stored in 58 is stored first, and if the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot random number value, the determination output of the jackpot mode is determined. Are respectively output.
[0070]
Then, according to the determination result, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 selects the stop symbol pattern after the change of the special symbol, and the fluctuation pattern selection means 61 determines the determination result of the second determination means 59 and the stop symbol pattern selection means 60. The control command transmission means 65 transmits a special symbol variation control command to the symbol control board 42 side to select one of a plurality of types of variation patterns based on at least one of the selection results. Command stop, etc.
[0071]
On the symbol control board 42 side, based on the variation control command from the control command transmission unit 65, the special symbol control unit 75 varies the special symbol of the special symbol display unit 35 according to the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit 61. After being displayed, it is stopped in the stop symbol mode selected by the stop symbol mode selection means 60, that is, the big hit mode or the off mode.
[0072]
If the special symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 35 becomes a big hit mode such as “6, 6, 6”, “7, 7, 7”, etc., then the second profit state generating means 62 operates. The second profit state occurs, and the opening / closing plate 27a of the variable winning means 27 opens to the front side (a1 in FIG. 5). The variable winning means 27 closes the opening / closing plate 27a at a point in time when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses from the opening or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins within the predetermined time. When the winning game ball passes the specific area 38, the opening / closing plate 27a is opened again, and the opening / closing operation is repeated up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times).
[0073]
For this reason, when the second profit state occurs, the variable winning means 27 can easily win a large number of game balls, and the player can enjoy a great profit.
[0074]
When the second profit state ends (a2 in FIG. 5), if the jackpot mode resulting from the occurrence of the second profit state is a special jackpot mode such as “7, 7, 7”, the special game The state generating means 63 is activated to generate a special gaming state.
[0075]
When the special gaming state occurs, a special gaming state start command is transmitted from the control command transmission means 65 to the sound lamp control board 43 side and the symbol control board 42 side. On the symbol control board 42 side, words such as “stock time” are displayed on the state notification unit 36 under the control of the state notification control unit 76 based on the special gaming state start command.
[0076]
On the sound lamp control board 43 side, a predetermined sound is output from the sound output means 9 under the control of the sound control means 78 based on the start command for the special gaming state, and the lamp means 34 is controlled under the control of the lamp control means 79. Emits light in a predetermined pattern.
[0077]
With these effects, the player can easily recognize that the player is in the special gaming state, that is, the stock time.
[0078]
During the special gaming state, the probability that the special symbol will be a big hit state is changed from the normal probability to the high probability by the probability changing means 66, and the change time of the special symbol is changed from the normal change time to the reduced change time by the change time shortening means 67. Since the opening time of the special symbol starting means 26 is changed from the normal opening time to the extended opening time by the opening time extension means 68, the player can play the game in a very advantageous state.
[0079]
During the special game state, the stock time is controlled by the stock time control means 70, and the first means 71 of the jackpot stock means 64 is activated, and the jackpot determination sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59. When the random number value matches the jackpot random number value (when it is a specific random number value), the jackpot determination random number value is stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 and, for example, any jackpot determination other than the jackpot random number value is performed instead. The random number value for use is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0080]
As a result, during the special game state, all the determinations by the second determination means 59 are determined to be out of play, and all the special symbols on the special symbol display means 35 are stopped in the out-of-bound state after fluctuation.
[0081]
In addition, when the first means 71 is activated and the jackpot is stocked, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 selects a reach failure mode such as “2.6.2” among a plurality of types of release modes. In addition, the fluctuation pattern selection means 61 selects a predetermined fluctuation pattern, for example, the first reach deviation fluctuation pattern with a high probability, and the special symbol display means 35 changes, for example, according to the first reach fluctuation pattern. Stop at “6.2” (a3, a4 in FIG. 5). Thereby, the player can judge to some extent whether or not the jackpot has been stocked based on the variation pattern and the stop symbol form during the special gaming state.
[0082]
Further, for example, every time the first means 71 is activated and the jackpot is stocked, the number of stored jackpot determination random number values, that is, the jackpot stock number command indicating the number of jackpot stocks is sent from the control command transmitting means 65 to the sound lamp control. It is transmitted to the board 43 side and the symbol control board 42 side.
[0083]
On the symbol control board 42 side, based on the jackpot stock number command, the memory alert control means 77 controls the memory alert means 37 on the memory alert means 37 according to the number of jackpot stocks at that time. = 2 "or the like is displayed.
[0084]
On the sound lamp control board 43 side, a predetermined sound is output from the sound output means 9 under the control of the sound control means 78 based on the jackpot stock number command, and the lamp means 34 is determined according to the control of the lamp control means 79. The pattern emits light.
[0085]
Through these effects, the player can easily know that the jackpot is stocked and the number of stocks.
[0086]
It should be noted that when the jackpot is stocked, only one of the process in which the stop symbol pattern selecting means 60 selects a predetermined stop symbol pattern and the process of displaying the jackpot stock number by the memory notification means 37 is performed. You may make it perform.
[0087]
The special game state generating means 63 stops its operation when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the operation starts, and the special game state and stock time are ended (a5 in FIG. 5).
[0088]
When the special gaming state (= stock time) ends, the second means 73 operates on condition that the jackpot random number storage means 72 stores the random number value for jackpot determination (the jackpot is stocked), and thereafter If the jackpot determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 does not match the jackpot random number value, the jackpot determination random number storage means 72 is used instead of the jackpot determination random number value. Is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0089]
As a result, the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the special symbol display means 35 continuously becomes the jackpot mode by the number of jackpot determination random number values (number of jackpot stock) stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 (a6 in FIG. 5). , A7), the second profit state occurs continuously.
[0090]
The jackpot determination random number value transmitted to the second determination means 59 side is deleted from the jackpot random number storage means 72.
[0091]
In addition, when the jackpot that has been stocked due to the operation of the second means 73 occurs, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 selects a special jackpot pattern such as “7, 7, 7” with a higher probability than usual. To do. If the special symbol display means 35 due to the operation of the second means 73 is changed to a special jackpot such as “7, 7, 7” (a7 in FIG. 5), a special gaming state occurs after the subsequent second profit state ends. The means 63 is activated to generate a special gaming state (a8 in FIG. 5).
[0092]
In this way, if a jackpot is stocked during a special gaming state, a special jackpot state is generated with a high probability when the jackpot stocked after the end of the special gaming state is generated. Increases nature.
[0093]
If the next special gaming state occurs after the special gaming state ends and before all the jackpots that have been stocked are generated, the remaining jackpot stock will be carried over to the end of the special gaming state. That's fine.
[0094]
As described above, in this embodiment, when the jackpot determination random number value acquired by the second random number acquisition unit 57 is a jackpot random number value (specific random number value), the jackpot in the symbol variation by the special symbol display unit 35 The first means 71 that displays a stop symbol form different from the form and stores information indicating that, that is, the jackpot determination random number value in the jackpot random number storage means 72, and the predetermined condition and the jackpot random number storage means 72 are satisfied. The second means for displaying the jackpot mode in the symbol variation by the special symbol display means 35 and deleting the jackpot determination random number value stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 on condition that the jackpot determination random number value is stored in 73, for example, it is possible to generate jackpots continuously, and the game progresses with changes. Against can be further increased more the interest.
[0095]
The first means 71 operates during the stock time, and the second means 73 operates in connection with the end of the stock time, and the special gaming state is used as the stock time. The special game state does not end at that time when the symbol becomes a normal jackpot, and if the special game state occurs, the player can enjoy the maximum benefit.
[0096]
6 and 7 illustrate the second embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which the stock time is started by random number lottery.
[0097]
The stock time control unit 70 matches the jackpot determination random number value stored in the second random number storage unit 58 with a predetermined value, for example, a predetermined stock time start random number value of outlier random values, or The stock time is started when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 500 times) after the end of the previous jackpot.
[0098]
When the jackpot determination random number value matches the stock time start random number value, the stock time may be started after the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times. Also, the stock time may be started only when the jackpot determination random number value matches the stock time start random number value, or when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 500 times) after the end of the previous jackpot The stock time may be started only at.
[0099]
The stock time control means 70 also sets the stock time based on the establishment of a predetermined condition after the start of the stock time, for example, a predetermined period determined according to the number of changes in the special symbol after the end of the previous jackpot. It is supposed to be terminated. In the present embodiment, when the number of changes of the special symbol after the end of the previous jackpot is 50 times or less, the special symbol is changed 100 times. When the number of changes is 100 times or less, the special symbol is changed 50 times. The stock time is set to end when the special symbol changes 30 times in the case of less than times, and 10 times in the case of more than 201 times, the change of the special symbol after the end of the previous jackpot The greater the number of times, the shorter the stock time duration.
[0100]
The duration of the stock time may be determined by random number lottery or the like. In addition, when the stock time start condition is satisfied during the stock time, the stock time may be ended at that time, or the next stock time may be newly started from that time. Then, for example, the next stock time may be generated continuously after the end of the stock time, or the next stock time may be generated after a predetermined period determined by random number lottery after the end of the stock time. Also good.
[0101]
Further, in the present embodiment, whether or not the stock is in stock time, such as the state informing means 36 for informing that the stock time is in progress or the storage informing means 37 for informing the number of stocks of the jackpot, and whether the jackpot is stocked There is no means for directly reporting whether or not. Thereby, even if the jackpot does not occur for a long time, the player's willingness to play can be maintained for a long time by making the player think that it may be during the stock time.
[0102]
In addition, you may provide the alerting | reporting means which alert | reports that there is a possibility that it is during the stock time or that the jackpot is stocked. Of course, the same state notification means 36 and memory notification means 37 as in the first embodiment are provided so as to directly notify whether or not the stock time is in stock and whether or not the jackpot is stocked. Also good.
[0103]
About a structure other than the above, the structure substantially the same as 1st Embodiment is employable.
[0104]
Of the operation of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a portion related to the jackpot stock will be specifically described in accordance with the time chart shown in FIG.
[0105]
The jackpot determination random number value acquired by the second random number acquisition means 57 and stored in the second random number storage means 58 is, for example, 100 or 200 of random number values from 0 to 299, etc. In the case of the time start random value, the stock time is started by the stock time control means 70 after the special symbol corresponding to the random value is changed (b1 in FIG. 7).
[0106]
During the stock time, when the first means 71 of the jackpot stock means 64 is operated and the jackpot determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 matches the jackpot random value (specific random number). (If it is a numerical value), the jackpot determination random number value is stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 and, for example, any jackpot determination random number value other than the jackpot random number value is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side instead. .
[0107]
Thereby, during the stock time, all the determinations by the second determination means 59 are determined to be out of mode, and all the special symbols on the special symbol display unit 35 are stopped in the out of mode after fluctuation.
[0108]
In addition, when the first means 71 is activated and the jackpot is stocked, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 selects a reach failure mode such as “2.6.2” among a plurality of types of release modes. Then, after the fluctuation pattern selection means 61 selects a predetermined fluctuation pattern, for example, the first reach deviation fluctuation pattern with a high probability, and the special symbol display means 35 fluctuates according to the first reach fluctuation pattern, for example, “2.6. Stop at 2 ”etc. (b2, b3 in FIG. 7).
[0109]
If the number of changes in the special symbol after the last jackpot (b0 in FIG. 7) until the current stock time is started (b1 in FIG. 7) is 40, for example, the stock time control means 70 After the start of the stock time, the stock time is terminated when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times corresponding to the 40 fluctuations, for example, 100 times (b4 in FIG. 7).
[0110]
When the stock time is over, the second means 73 is operated on condition that the jackpot random number storage means 72 stores the random number value for jackpot determination, that is, the jackpot is stocked, and then the second random number storage means. If the jackpot determination random number value sent from 58 to the second determination means 59 does not match the jackpot random number value, the jackpot stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 instead of the jackpot determination random value The determination random number value is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0111]
As a result, at least the number of jackpot determination random numbers stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 (the number of jackpot stocks), the stopped symbol after the fluctuation of the special symbol display means 35 becomes the jackpot mode (b5 in FIG. 7). , B6), the second profit state occurs continuously.
[0112]
The jackpot determination random number value transmitted to the second determination means 59 side is deleted from the jackpot random number storage means 72.
[0113]
When the special symbol variably displayed by the operation of the second means 73 is in the special jackpot mode (b6 in FIG. 7), the special gaming state generating means 63 is operated after the second profit state that is subsequently generated ends. Then, a special game state occurs (b7 in FIG. 7).
[0114]
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the stock time is configured to start based on the random number lottery result, the stock time can be generated independently from other gaming states, and the stock time can be generated. If there is no direct notification about being in time, for example, even if a big hit does not occur for a long time, the player's willingness to play is maintained for a long time by making the player think that it may be in stock time can do.
[0115]
In addition, since the stock time is started based on the elapse of a predetermined period from the end of the second profit state, the player's willingness to play is maintained for a long time even if a long-term jackpot does not occur Can do.
[0116]
8 and 9 exemplify the third embodiment of the present invention. The stock time is started by a random number lottery based on a random number value different from the jackpot determination random number value, and the random time lottery is also performed for the duration of the stock time. The example which was made to determine by is shown.
[0117]
The stock time control means 70 of this embodiment includes a random number lottery means 70a. The random number lottery means 70a is for performing a lottery for determining whether or not to start the stock time and a lottery for selecting the duration of the stock time. For example, the jackpot determination process by the second determination means 59 is performed. In this case, for example, one stock time determination random value is acquired, and when the stock time determination random value matches a predetermined stock time start random value, a determination is made to start the stock time, In addition, when it is determined that the stock time is started, one more continuation time determination random value is acquired, and the continuation time of the stock time is determined based on the continuation time determination random value. It has become.
[0118]
In addition, when the lottery for starting the stock time is performed by the random number lottery means 70a during the stock time, the stock time control means 70 continuously generates a new stock time after the stock time ends, for example. It is like that.
[0119]
In addition, when the lottery for starting the stock time is performed by the random number lottery means 70a during the stock time, the next stock time is generated after the lapse of a predetermined period determined by the random number lottery or the like after the end of the stock time. The next stock time may be started at that time, or the stock time may be ended at that time.
[0120]
Except as described above, a configuration substantially similar to that of the second embodiment can be employed.
[0121]
Of the operation of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a portion related to the jackpot stock will be specifically described in accordance with the time chart shown in FIG.
[0122]
The stock time control means 70 performs a lottery on whether or not to start the stock time by the random number lottery means 70a during the jackpot determination process by the second determination means 59, that is, when a special symbol is changed.
[0123]
That is, the random number lottery means 70a obtains one stock time determination random value, and determines that the stock time is started when the stock time determination random value matches a predetermined stock time start random value. I do. Further, when it is determined that the stock time is to be started, the random number lottery means 70a further acquires one random number value for duration determination, and determines the stock time based on the random number value for duration determination. Determine the duration.
[0124]
When the random number lottery means 70a performs the lottery to start the stock time, for example, after the special symbol changes, the stock time control means 70 starts the stock time (c1 in FIG. 9). The stock time is continued until the duration determined by the lottery means 70a, for example, the special symbol fluctuates 50 times.
[0125]
If the lottery for starting the stock time again is performed by the random number lottery means 70a during the stock time, for example, after the first stock time is completed, the next new stock time is continuously performed. . In other words, if a lottery for stocking is performed again during the stock time and the duration is determined to be up to 30 special symbols (c3 in FIG. 9), the stock time (special After the end of the 50th symbol change (c4 in FIG. 9), the next new stock time is started, and continues until the special symbol 30th change (c6 in FIG. 9).
[0126]
During the stock time, when the first means 71 of the jackpot stock means 64 is operated and the jackpot determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 matches the jackpot random value (specific random number). (If it is a numerical value), the jackpot determination random number value is stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 and, for example, any jackpot determination random number value other than the jackpot random number value is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side instead. .
[0127]
Thereby, during the stock time, all the determinations by the second determination means 59 are determined to be out of mode, and all the special symbols on the special symbol display unit 35 are stopped in the out of mode after fluctuation.
[0128]
In addition, when the first means 71 is activated and the jackpot is stocked, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 selects a reach failure mode such as “2.6.2” among a plurality of types of release modes. Then, after the fluctuation pattern selection means 61 selects a predetermined fluctuation pattern, for example, the first reach deviation fluctuation pattern with a high probability, and the special symbol display means 35 fluctuates according to the first reach fluctuation pattern, for example, “2.6. Stop at 2 ”etc. (c3, c5 in FIG. 9).
[0129]
When the stock time is over (c6 in FIG. 9), the second means 73 is operated on condition that the jackpot random number storage means 72 stores the jackpot determination random number value, that is, the jackpot is stocked, and thereafter If the jackpot determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 does not match the jackpot random number value, the jackpot determination random number storage means 72 is used instead of the jackpot determination random number value. Is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0130]
As a result, at least the number of jackpot determination random numbers stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 (the number of jackpot stocks), the stopped symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 35 becomes the jackpot mode (c7 in FIG. 9). , C8), the second profit state occurs continuously.
[0131]
The jackpot determination random number value transmitted to the second determination means 59 side is deleted from the jackpot random number storage means 72.
[0132]
When the special symbol variably displayed by the operation of the second means 73 is in a special jackpot mode (c8 in FIG. 9), the special gaming state generating means 63 is operated after the second profit state that is subsequently generated ends. Then, a special gaming state occurs (c9 in FIG. 9).
[0133]
As described above, in this embodiment, since the duration of the stock time is determined by random lottery, the duration of the stock time may be variable, and the game may be further varied. it can.
[0134]
10 and 11 illustrate the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which the stock time is started after the end of the second profit state.
[0135]
The stock time control means 70 of the present embodiment starts the stock time when the operation of the second profit state generating means 62 is completed. In addition, the stock time control means 70 determines the continuation period in relation to the period from the end of the previous second profit state to the start of the current stock time, and continues the stock time until the continuation period elapses. It is supposed to let you.
[0136]
In the present embodiment, when the number of changes of the special symbol after the end of the previous jackpot is 50 times or less, the special symbol changes 10 times. When the number of changes is 100 times or less, the special symbol changes 50 times. The stock time is terminated when the special symbol changes 100 times in the case of less than the number of times and when it changes 150 times in the case of the number of times of 201 times or more. The duration of the stock time may be defined by, for example, time other than the number of special symbol fluctuations. Further, the duration of the stock time may be determined by random lottery or the like.
[0137]
About the structure other than the above, a structure substantially similar to the second and third embodiments can be adopted.
[0138]
Of the operation of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a portion related to the jackpot stock will be specifically described in accordance with the time chart shown in FIG.
[0139]
When the stop symbol after fluctuation of the special symbol display means 35 becomes a big hit mode such as “2, 2, 2” or the like and the second profit state occurs (d1 in FIG. 11), the stock time control means 70 stores the stock after the end. Time is started (d2 in FIG. 11).
[0140]
During the stock time, when the first means 71 of the jackpot stock means 64 is operated and the jackpot determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 matches the jackpot random value (specific random number). (If it is a numerical value), the jackpot determination random number value is stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 and, for example, any jackpot determination random number value other than the jackpot random number value is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side instead. .
[0141]
Thereby, during the stock time, all the determinations by the second determination means 59 are determined to be out of mode, and all the special symbols on the special symbol display unit 35 are stopped in the out of mode after fluctuation.
[0142]
If the number of times the special symbol fluctuates between the end of the previous jackpot and the start of the current stock time is, for example, 100 times or less, the stock time control means 70 has the special symbol 100 times after the stock time starts. The stock time is ended at a predetermined number of times corresponding to the fluctuation, for example, 50 times (d3 in FIG. 11).
[0143]
If the jackpot is not stocked during the stock time, the normal gaming state will continue after the stock time.
[0144]
If the special symbol display means 35 changes in the normal gaming state and the stop symbol after the change becomes a special jackpot such as “7, 7, 7” (d4 in FIG. 11), the second profit thereafter After the state is over, the special gaming state generating means 63 is operated to generate a special gaming state, and the stock time control means 70 starts the stock time (d5 in FIG. 11).
[0145]
During the special gaming state, the probability that the special symbol will be a big hit state is changed from the normal probability to the high probability by the probability changing means 66, and the change time of the special symbol is changed from the normal change time to the reduced change time by the change time shortening means 67. Since the opening time of the special symbol starting means 26 is changed from the normal opening time to the extended opening time by the opening time extension means 68, the player can play the game in a very advantageous state.
[0146]
In addition, when the first means 71 is activated during the stock time and the jackpot is stocked, the stop symbol pattern selection means 60 can reach the reach of, for example, “2. After selecting a deviation mode, the fluctuation pattern selection means 61 selects a predetermined fluctuation pattern, for example, the first reach deviation fluctuation pattern with a high probability, and the special symbol display means 35 fluctuates according to the first reach fluctuation pattern, for example, Stop at “2, 6, 2”, etc. (d6 in FIG. 11).
[0147]
If the number of changes in the special symbol after the last jackpot (d2 in FIG. 11) until the start of the current stock time is 120, for example, the stock time control means 70 The stock time is terminated when the symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times corresponding to the 120 fluctuations, for example, 100 times (d7 in FIG. 11).
[0148]
When the stock time is over, the second means 73 is operated on condition that the jackpot random number storage means 72 stores the random number value for jackpot determination, that is, the jackpot is stocked, and then the second random number storage means. If the jackpot determination random number value sent from 58 to the second determination means 59 does not match the jackpot random number value, the jackpot stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 instead of the jackpot determination random value The determination random number value is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0149]
As a result, at least the number of jackpot determination random numbers stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 (number of jackpot stocks), the stop symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 35 becomes a jackpot mode (d8 in FIG. 11). 2 Profit status occurs.
[0150]
The jackpot determination random number value transmitted to the second determination means 59 side is deleted from the jackpot random number storage means 72.
[0151]
The special gaming state generating means 63 ends its operation when, for example, the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (d9 in FIG. 11).
[0152]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the stock time is started based on the end of the second profit state. Therefore, as long as the jackpot is stocked during the stock time, the stock time is continuously increased. Can be generated.
[0153]
FIG. 12 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example in which the stock time is started on condition that the jackpot determination random number value matches a predetermined jackpot random number value. The configuration of the control system in this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 except for the control contents of the stock time control means 70.
[0154]
The stock time control means 70 according to the present embodiment starts the stock time based on the fact that the jackpot determination random number value stored in the second random number storage means 58 matches a predetermined jackpot random number value. ing. When the stock time starts, the first means 71 operates, and the jackpot determination random number value (including the jackpot determination random number value that is the start condition of the stock time) coincides with the jackpot random number value. Remember and stock the jackpot.
[0155]
Further, when a stock time start condition is newly established during the stock time, for example, a new stock time is started after the end of the stock time. When the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot random number value during the stock time, the new jackpot start condition may not be satisfied, and the jackpot may be simply stocked. Also, the stock time may be started when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 500 times) after the end of the previous jackpot.
[0156]
The stock time control means 70 ends the stock time based on the establishment of a predetermined condition such that the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times after the start of each stock time. In the case of the present embodiment, for example, the stock time when the start condition is satisfied when the jackpot stock number is 0 is special so that the stock time when the start condition is satisfied when the jackpot stock number is small is longer. When the symbol fluctuates 500 times, the start condition is established when the jackpot stock number is 1 and when the special symbol fluctuates 100 times, the start condition is met when the jackpot stock number is 2 The stock time is set to end when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times, and the stock time when the start condition is satisfied when the number of stocks of jackpots is 3 is terminated when the special symbol fluctuates 10 times.
[0157]
It should be noted that a plurality of combinations of the jackpot stock and the stock time duration described above may be provided, and one of them may be selected by random lottery or the like. Further, the duration of the stock time may be determined by random lottery or the like regardless of the number of stocks of jackpots.
[0158]
Of the operation of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a portion related to the jackpot stock will be specifically described in accordance with the time chart shown in FIG.
[0159]
When the jackpot determination random number value acquired by the second random number acquisition means 57 and stored in the second random number storage means 58 is a predetermined jackpot random number value, the stock time control means 70 at that time Stock time is started (e1 in FIG. 12).
[0160]
During the stock time, the first means 71 of the jackpot stock means 64 is operated, and the jackpot determination random number value that matches the jackpot random number value including the jackpot determination random number value that is the start condition of the stock time is determined as the jackpot random number. While being stored in the storage unit 72, for example, an arbitrary jackpot determination random number value other than the jackpot random number value is transmitted to the second determination unit 59 instead.
[0161]
Thereby, during the stock time, all the determinations by the second determination means 59 are determined to be out of mode, and all the special symbols on the special symbol display unit 35 are stopped in the out of mode after fluctuation.
[0162]
Stock time started when the number of jackpot stocks is 0 ends, for example, when the special symbol fluctuates 500 times (e4 in FIG. 12), but the stock time start condition is newly established during that stock time. When the jackpot is newly stocked (e2, e3 in FIG. 12), a new stock time is started after the end of the stock time (e4 in FIG. 12).
[0163]
The stock time when the start condition is satisfied when the jackpot stock number is 1 is the stock time when the start condition is satisfied when the special symbol is changed 100 times (e6 in FIG. 12). Ends when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times (e8 in FIG. 12).
[0164]
When the stock time is over (e4, e6, e8 in FIG. 12), the second means 73 is activated, and the big hit determination random number value sent from the second random number storage means 58 to the second determination means 59 thereafter is the big hit disturbance. If the value does not match the numerical value, it is stored in the jackpot random number storage means 72 at that time, instead of the jackpot determination random number value related to the occurrence of the finished stock time, instead of the jackpot determination random number value. The earliest stored random number value for jackpot determination is transmitted to the second determination means 59 side.
[0165]
Thereby, the stop symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 35 becomes a big hit mode (e5, e7, e9 in FIG. 12), and the second profit state occurs.
[0166]
The jackpot determination random number value transmitted to the second determination means 59 side is deleted from the jackpot random number storage means 72.
[0167]
When the special symbol variably displayed by the operation of the second means 73 is in a special jackpot mode (e9 in FIG. 12), the special gaming state generating means 63 is operated after the second profit state that is subsequently generated ends. Then, a special gaming state occurs (e10 in FIG. 12).
[0168]
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot random number value, the stock time is started, and the jackpot is stocked including the jackpot determination random number value related to the start of the stock time. Therefore, all the jackpots can be generated at timings completely different from the internal lottery result, and the interest in the game can be further increased by changing the progress of the game.
[0169]
As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the information indicating that the stop symbol mode different from the specific mode is displayed in the symbol change by the symbol display unit, which is stored in the storage unit, is not limited to the jackpot determination random number value, for example, the jackpot stock number The numerical information shown may be used.
[0170]
The stock time start condition may be that the special symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 35 becomes a specific stop symbol form, or that the specific stop symbol form appears a predetermined number of times. For example, the stock time may be started based on the special symbol stop symbol being “7.3.1” or based on the occurrence of a detach reach a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). Stock time may be started.
[0171]
The stock time end condition may be that a predetermined calculation value, for example, the number of shots, the number of winnings, the number of outs, a difference ball, or other values becomes a predetermined value. For example, after the start of the stock time, the stock time may be terminated when the number of shots reaches 500.
[0172]
When the special gaming state is set to the stock time, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the jackpot probability is set to a high probability during the stock time, and the probability changing means 66 is activated / deactivated based on the lottery result. The high probability state / normal probability state of the jackpot probability is internally switched, and the fluctuation time shortening means 67, the opening time extension means 68 and the like whose operating state can be recognized by the player continue during the special gaming state. You may make it operate.
[0173]
The second means 73 may generate a jackpot that is stocked after a predetermined period of time has passed since the stock time has ended. The second means 73 may generate the jackpots that are stocked in a plurality of times.
[0174]
During the stock time, the reliability that the jackpot is stocked for every change of the special symbol, that is, the reliability of the internal jackpot is reported by the variable display section 30, the audio output means 9, the lamp means 34, etc., for example. Good.
[0175]
An effect relating to the start of the stock time may be performed, for example, when the special symbol changes next time. In this case, the special symbol may be varied with a predetermined variation pattern, for example, a predetermined reach variation pattern.
[0176]
The duration of stock time may be defined by time.
[0177]
The special game state generated by the special game state generation means 63 includes a probability that the normal symbol is in a hit state with a higher probability than the normal state, a case where the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened than the normal state, and a variable prize. Increase the number of rounds of opening of the means 27 (for example, normally increase 5 times to 16 times), increase the opening time of one time of the variable winning means 27 (for example, normally increase 10 seconds to 30 seconds), variable Those that increase the prescribed number of winnings of the winning means 27 (for example, normally 5 is increased to 10), those that increase the upper limit reserved number of the normal symbol starting means 25 (for example, normally 4 is increased to 6), special symbols Various profit states, such as increasing the upper limit holding number of the starting means 19 (for example, increasing 4 to 6 normally), notifying the timing at which a game ball is likely to win a predetermined accessory, etc. It can be used. Further, these plural types of profit states may be generated simultaneously or individually.
[0178]
Further, when the stock time is being used, for example, when the special game state is set as the stock time, the player may not be informed that the special game state is being used. For example, only the internal jackpot lottery probability may be changed.
[0179]
Depending on the number of jackpot stocks, the variation pattern selection rate, the notice appearance rate, etc. may be changed. Thereby, the number of jackpot stocks can be indirectly notified to the player.
[0180]
The stock time start condition, end condition, maximum stock number, etc. may be set and changed by an external operation. Thereby, it is easy to adjust the ball exit rate and the like by the game hall. In that case, it is desirable that the external operation means be provided on the back side of the gaming machine main body and the like so that only the gaming hall side can be operated.
[0181]
Various configurations can be adopted for the substrate configuration of the main control substrate 41 and other sub-substrates. For example, the sound lamp control board 43 may be constituted by two separate boards, a sound control board and a lamp control board. Further, the symbol control board 42 and the sound lamp control board 43 may be constituted by one board.
[0182]
The main control board 41 and the sub boards such as the symbol control board 42 and the sound lamp control board 43 may be connected so as to be capable of one-way communication.
[0183]
The present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, and can be similarly implemented in other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
[0184]
