Pachinko equipped with two-variable symbol display means, a first start opening, a second start opening, an openable and closing game ball winning opening that is normally closed, and an openable and large winning opening that is normally closed Related to the machine.

Conventionally, it is provided with a variable symbol display means provided in a game area for displaying a variable symbol on a variable symbol display section, a start winning port, and a special winning device having a large winning port that can be opened and closed normally. Various proposals have been made regarding a pachinko machine in which the fluctuation pattern fluctuates based on the winning information at the starting opening in the normal gaming state.
For example, a special symbol display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a game part in which a hit ball launched by a player flows down, and a starting means for creating a condition for starting variable display of the special symbol display device, A variable winning device that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player by establishing a specific condition based on the combination of display symbols when the special symbol display device stops variable display. And a pachinko machine having at least a continuation means for creating a condition for maintaining the second state of the variable winning device, and having a control means for controlling each of the devices, a plurality of symbols are provided in the game unit. A starter that creates a condition for starting variable display of the special symbol display device by arranging a variable symbol display normal symbol display device and display start means for starting variable display of the normal symbol display device Is constituted by a normal electric accessory that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player based on the display symbol displayed when the normal symbol display device stops variable display. The display start means is constituted by a detection switch facing a normal electric accessory, and when the combination of symbols displayed by the special symbol display device becomes a predetermined mode, the special symbol display device and the normal symbol display are displayed. There has been proposed a pachinko machine that is configured to change a variation time required for the apparatus to stop variable display (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

According to such a pachinko machine, when the combination of the symbols to be visually displayed is a predetermined combination, the variable winning device (big prize opening) is opened, and the combination of symbols is a specific symbol, for example, “777”. In this case, the probability of a big hit from the combination of symbols does not change by shortening the fluctuation time of the symbols displayed by the normal symbol display device and the special symbol display device. Probability increases. Accordingly, the big hits can be concentrated in a short time, and the expectation that the big hits are continuously generated can be enhanced, and an entertaining pachinko game can be realized.

Next, the first start opening winning process for executing the first jackpot determination and the like by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 10, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 1, the CPU 461 receives the pachinko ball winning of the first starting port 31, that is, the pachinko ball detection signal from the first starting port switch 31A is input. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made via the output circuit (I / O) 464 is executed.
When the pachinko ball detection signal from the first start port switch 31A is not input via the input / output circuit 464 (S1: NO), the CPU 461 ends the process.

On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the first start port switch 31A is input via the input / output circuit 464 (S1: YES), in S2, the CPU 461 performs “first count value acquisition process”. Execute.
In the “first count value acquisition process”, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the first big hit counter 463A when the pachinko ball detection signal is input from the first start port switch 31A as the “first big hit value”. “Count value” is substituted into the algebra V1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “49” is assigned to the algebra V1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

At the same time, the CPU 461 assigns the numerical value stored in the first reach counter 463B when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 31A to the algebra M1 as the “first reach count value” at that time. And stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “142” is assigned to the algebra M1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the first jackpot symbol selection counter 463C when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 31A as the “first jackpot symbol selection count value” as an algebra. Substituting for Y1 and storing in parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “99” is assigned to the algebra Y1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the first variation pattern selection counter 463D when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 31A as an algebra as the “first variation pattern selection count value” at that time. Substituting into H1 and storing in parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, this algebra H1 is stored in the parameter storage area 463M by substituting any numerical value “0” to “9”.
At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the first lose symbol selection counter 463E when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 31A as the “first lose symbol selection count value” at that time as an algebra. It is substituted for I1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “200” is assigned to the algebra I1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

  Further, at the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the first reach symbol selection counter 463F when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 31A as the “first reach symbol selection count value” as an algebra. Substitute into F1 and store in parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “143” is assigned to the algebra F1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S <b> 3, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the normal gaming state is the “probability change mode”.
In the first embodiment, the “probability change mode” refers to a game mode in which the lottery probability of winning the first big hit is high (in the first embodiment, the lottery probability is 5/50). Further, in the first embodiment, the “normal mode” refers to a game mode in which the lottery probability of winning the first big hit is low (in the first embodiment, the lottery probability is 1/50).
In the determination process for determining whether or not the normal gaming state is the “probability change mode”, first, the CPU 461 reads the first probability change flag stored in the RAM 463. When the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is ON, that is, when it is “1”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is selected, and the “probability variation first big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (Example) In the case of 1, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”) are read out, and this “probability first big hit value” is stored as a parameter as “first big hit value”. Store in area 463M. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is OFF, that is, “0”, it is determined that the normal mode is set, and the “normal first big hit value” (in the first embodiment) stored in the ROM 462 in advance. In this case, “7” is read out), and this “normal first big hit value” is stored as “first big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S4, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “first big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not this is the “first big hit”, first, the algebra V1 as the “first big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 463M. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V1 matches the “first big hit value” stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If they match, “1” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1 (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1) and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If not, “0” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
Therefore, in the normal gaming state that is not in the “probability change mode”, the probability of occurrence of “first big hit” is 1/50. In the normal gaming state of the “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “first big hit” is 5/50. Thereby, in the case of the normal gaming state in the “probability change mode”, the probability of becoming the “first big hit” is about five times that in the normal gaming state not in the “probability change mode”.
In the case of a normal gaming state that is not in the “probability change mode”, the variation time of each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C is about 10 to 30 seconds. The first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C may have a variation time of about 5 seconds to 7 seconds and stop early.

Then, the CPU 461 reads the first jackpot algebra R1 from the parameter storage area 463M again, and determines whether the first jackpot algebra R1 is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “first big hit” has occurred.
In S4, the first jackpot algebra R1 is read from the parameter storage area 463M. If the first jackpot algebra R1 is “1”, it is determined that the “first jackpot” has occurred (S4: YES). In S5, the CPU 461 executes a jackpot symbol selection process for selecting a jackpot symbol.
In the jackpot symbol selection process, first, the CPU 461 reads the algebra Y1 as the first jackpot symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 463M, and the numerical value of the algebra Y1 is stored in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value” in the first selection table 71, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read and displayed on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19. Is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the first jackpot symbol to be instructed.
For example, when the algebra Y1 is “10 to 19”, “2” is read as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19 so as to be displayed. The jackpot symbol “222” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the first jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.

  In S6, the CPU 461 selects the variation pattern of each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. That is, the algebra H1 as the first variation pattern selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the algebra H1 is an even number, “pattern 5” is defined as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. On the other hand, when the algebra H1 is an odd number, “pattern 6” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Next, in S <b> 7, the CPU 461 again reads the symbol data and variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the parameter storage area 463 </ b> M, and uses the symbol data and variation pattern as the first variation of the liquid crystal display 19. The CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display on the symbol display unit 21.
Subsequently, in S8, the CPU 461 reads the variation display processing time of the variation pattern output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the ROM 462 and waits for the processing time (S8: NO). For example, when the variation pattern is “pattern 5”, the process waits for 22 seconds. When the variation pattern is “pattern 6”, the process waits for 32 seconds.
If the processing time of the variation display process has elapsed (S8: YES), in S9, the CPU 461 sends the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, 21B of the first variation symbol display unit 21 to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. A final stop signal for instructing to stop 21C, that is, final stop, is output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.
Thereafter, in S10, the CPU 461 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 11) of “second start opening winning process” described later, and then ends the process.

On the other hand, when the read first big hit algebra R1 is “0” in S4, it is determined as a loss (S4: NO), and in S11, the CPU 461 causes each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, The display of 21C indicates a reach state in which two of the three symbols of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C are aligned (for example, “5, −5”, “7, −, 7”, etc., "-" Means that the symbol is rotating), and then it is determined whether or not to display a loss.
For this determination, the algebra M1 stored in the parameter storage area 463M is read, and one of the reach occurrence numerical values (in the case of the first embodiment, “0” to “27”) stored in advance in the ROM 462. It is determined whether or not they match, and if they match, it is determined that the loss after reach state is displayed (S11: YES), and in S12, the first lose reach symbol is selected. The selection of the first loss reach symbol is performed by reading the algebra F1 as the first reach symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 463M, reading the reach lose symbol corresponding to the algebra F1 from the ROM 462, and the first variation of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a reach lose symbol that instructs the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to display on the symbol display unit 21.
Subsequently, in S13, the CPU 461 selects a variation pattern of each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. That is, the algebra H1 as the first variation pattern selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when this algebra H1 is “0 to 2”, “pattern 2” is designated as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. Is stored in the parameter storage area 463M. When the algebra H1 is “3 to 6”, “pattern 3” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. Further, when the algebra H1 is “7 to 9”, “pattern 4” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

On the other hand, in S11, the algebra M1 stored in the parameter storage area 463M is read, and any of the reach generation values stored in the ROM 462 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment, “0” to “27”). If it is determined that they do not match (S11: NO), in S14, the algebra I1 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, the symbol data of the lost symbol corresponding to the algebra I1 is read from the ROM 462, and the liquid crystal display 19 The data is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as symbol data for instructing the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to display on the first variation symbol display unit 21.
In S15, the CPU 461 stores “pattern 1” in the parameter storage area 463M as the variation pattern of each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Next, in S16, the CPU 461 again reads the symbol data and the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the parameter storage area 463M, and the symbol data and the variation pattern are read as the first variation of the liquid crystal display 19. The CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display on the symbol display unit 21.
Subsequently, in S17, the CPU 461 reads the variation display processing time of the variation pattern output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the ROM 462, and waits for the processing time (S17: NO). For example, when the variation pattern is “pattern 2”, the process waits for 20 seconds. When the variation pattern is “pattern 3”, the process waits for 30 seconds. When the variation pattern is “pattern 4”, the process waits for 10 seconds. When the variation pattern is “Pattern 1”, each processing time stored in advance in the ROM 462 corresponding to the lost symbol is waited.
When the processing time of the variation display process has elapsed (S17: YES), in S18, the CPU 461 sends the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, 21B, and B of the first variation symbol display unit 21 to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. After the confirmation stop signal for instructing to stop 21C, that is, for confirming stop, is output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66, the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S10 will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, in S21, the CPU 461 rotates the open / close members 24A and 25A in the outward direction to open the first grand prize winning ports 24 and 25.
In S 22, the CPU 461 determines whether or not a pachinko ball has entered each of the first big prize openings 24, 25, that is, a detection signal is received from each detection sensor 29, 30 via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made is executed. If no pachinko ball is contained in each first big prize opening 24, 25 (S22: NO), in S23, after opening each first big prize opening 24, 25, a predetermined time (Example 1). In the case of, it is about 5 seconds to 10 seconds). Then, when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the opening of the first grand prize winning openings 24 and 25 (S23: NO), the processing after S21 is executed again.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball enters each first big prize opening 24, 25 (S22: YES), or when a predetermined time has elapsed after opening each first big prize opening 24, 25 (S23: YES) ) In S24, the CPU 461 closes the first opening / closing members 24, 25 by closing the open / close members 24A, 25A.
Subsequently, in S25, the CPU 461 receives a pachinko ball winning signal from the second starting port 28, that is, a pachinko ball detection signal from the second starting port sensor 28A, via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464. Determination processing for determining whether or not has been performed is executed.
If the pachinko ball detection signal from the second start port sensor 28A is not input via the input / output circuit 464 (S25: NO), the sub-process is terminated, and the first start port winning prize is obtained. Return to processing.

On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the second start port sensor 28A is input via the input / output circuit 464 (S25: YES), in S26, the CPU 461 performs “second count value acquisition process”. Execute.
In this “second count value acquisition process”, the CPU 461 uses the value stored in the second big hit counter 463G when the pachinko ball detection signal is input from the second start port sensor 28A as the “second big hit value”. “Count value” is substituted into the algebra V2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “49” is assigned to the algebra V2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

At the same time, the CPU 461 substitutes the numerical value stored in the second reach counter 463H when the winning signal is input from the second start port sensor 28A as the “second reach count value” at that time in the algebra M2. And stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “142” is assigned to the algebra M2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the second jackpot symbol selection counter 463I when the winning signal is input from the second start port sensor 28A as the “second jackpot symbol selection count value” as an algebra. Substituting for Y2 and storing in parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “99” is assigned to the algebra Y2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the second variation pattern selection counter 463J when the winning signal is input from the second start port sensor 28A as the “second variation pattern selection count value” as an algebra. Substituting for H2 and storing it in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, the algebra H2 is stored in the parameter storage area 463M by substituting any numerical value “0” to “9”.
At the same time, the CPU 461 uses the value stored in the second losing symbol selection counter 463K when the winning signal is input from the second starting port sensor 28A as the “second losing symbol selection count value” as an algebra. Substituting for I2 and storing it in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value of “0” to “200” is assigned to the algebra I2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

  Further, at the same time, the CPU 461 uses the numerical value stored in the second reach symbol selection counter 463L when the winning signal is input from the second start port sensor 28A as the “second reach symbol selection count value” as an algebra. Substitute into F2 and store in parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “143” is assigned to the algebra F2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S <b> 27, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “second big hit”.
In the determination process for determining whether or not this is the “second big hit”, first, the CPU 461 calculates the “normal second big hit value” (“3” in the first embodiment) stored in the ROM 462 in advance. This “normal second big hit value” is read and stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the “second big hit value”.
Then, the CPU 461 reads the algebra V2 as the “second big hit count value” from the parameter storage area 463M. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V2 matches the “second big hit value” stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If they match, “1” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2) and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If not, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, the probability of occurrence of “second big hit” is 1/6.

Then, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M, and it is determined whether the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “second big hit” has occurred.
When the second jackpot algebra R2 is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot” has occurred (S27: YES), and in S28, the CPU 461 executes a process of selecting a jackpot symbol. In the selection of the jackpot symbol, the algebra Y2 as the second jackpot symbol selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and the numerical value of the algebra Y2 is stored in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As a “count value” 72, a “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read, and a second instruction for instructing the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to display on the second variable symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19 The jackpot symbol is stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
For example, when the algebra Y1 is “20 to 29”, “3” is read as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the second variation symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19. The jackpot symbol “333” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the second jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S29, the CPU 461 selects the variation pattern of each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. That is, the algebra H2 as the second variation pattern selection count value is read out from the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the algebra H1 is an odd number, “pattern 3” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Next, in S <b> 30, the CPU 461 again reads the symbol data and variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the parameter storage area 463 </ b> M, and uses the symbol data and variation pattern for the second variation of the liquid crystal display 19. The CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display on the symbol display unit 22.
Subsequently, in S31, the CPU 461 reads the variation display processing time of the variation pattern output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the ROM 462 and waits for the processing time (S31: NO). For example, when the variation pattern is “pattern 2”, the process waits for 22 seconds. When the variation pattern is “pattern 3”, the process waits for 32 seconds.
When the processing time of the variation display process has elapsed (S31: YES), in S32, the CPU 461 sends the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, A final stop signal for instructing to stop 22C, that is, final stop, is output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Subsequently, in S33, the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 37 to rotate the rotation guide member 38 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38. Is rolled to the guide passage 40.
In S34, the CPU 461 determines whether or not the pachinko ball that has been rolled and dropped into the guide passage portion 40 has hit the winning opening 41 after the collision with the rib portion 39, that is, whether or not the winning change per winning opening switch 41A has been selected. A determination process for determining whether or not a pachinko ball detection signal is input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 is executed.
If the pachinko ball detection signal from the winning prize winning switch 41A is input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 (S34: YES), the CPU 41 stores it in the RAM 463 at S35. The first probability variation flag is read, the first probability variation flag is turned on, that is, “1” is substituted for the first probability variation flag, and the result is stored in the RAM 463 again.
On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the winning prize winning switch 41A is not input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464, that is, the pachinko ball detection signal from the normal winning prize switch 42A. Is input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 (S34: NO), in S36, the CPU 41 reads the first probability variation flag stored in the RAM 463, and sets the first probability variation flag. It is turned OFF, that is, “0” is substituted into the first probability variation flag, and is stored again in the RAM 463.

  Thereafter, in S37, the CPU 461 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 12) of “big hit game process” described later, and then drives the sorting motor 37 to rotate the rotation guide member 38 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. After the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is opposed to the second start port 28, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start port winning process.

On the other hand, when the read second big hit algebra R2 is “0” in S27, it is determined as lost (S27: NO), and in S38, the CPU 461 reads the algebra F2 from the parameter storage area 463M, and the algebra. The symbol data of the reach lose symbol corresponding to F2 is read from the ROM 462 and is displayed in the parameter storage area 463M as symbol data for instructing the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to display on the second variation symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19. Remember.
In S39, the CPU 461 stores “pattern 1” in the parameter storage area 463M as the variation pattern of each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Next, in S40, the CPU 461 again reads the symbol data and the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the parameter storage area 463M, and the symbol data and the variation pattern are read as the second variation of the liquid crystal display 19. The CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display on the symbol display unit 22.
Subsequently, in S41, the CPU 461 reads the variation display processing time of the variation pattern output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 from the ROM 462, and waits for the processing time (S41: NO). For example, when the variation pattern is “pattern 1”, each processing time (for example, about 20 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 462 corresponding to the reach lose symbol is waited.
When the processing time of the variation display process has elapsed (S41: YES), in S42, the CPU 461 sends the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22B of the second variation symbol display unit 22 to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. A final stop signal for instructing to stop 22C, that is, final stop, is output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.
Thereafter, in S43, the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 37 to rotate the rotation guide member 38 clockwise by about 90 degrees, and guides the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38. Roll and drop into the passage portion 43. Then, after elapse of a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the first embodiment), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 37 to rotate the rotation guide member 38 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front. After the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is opposed to the second start port 28, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start port winning process.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot game process executed in S37 will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12, in S <b> 51, the CPU 461 opens the open / close door 33 that closes the second big prize opening 35.
Subsequently, in S52, whether or not 10 winning balls have been won in the second grand prize opening 35, that is, whether or not the number of prizes detected by a large winning prize count switch (not shown) has reached ten. Determine whether or not.
If the number of winning balls that have won the second grand prize opening 35 has not reached ten (S52: NO), in S53, the second big prize opening 35 is opened for a predetermined time (in the first embodiment). In this case, it is about 25 to 30 seconds.) It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the second big prize opening 35 was opened (S53: NO), the processing from S51 onward is executed again.

  On the other hand, when ten winning balls have been won in the second grand prize opening 35 (S52: YES), or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the second big prize opening 35 was opened (S53: YES). In S54, the CPU 461 closes the open / close door 33 and closes the second big prize opening 35.

Subsequently, in S55, the CPU 461 determines whether or not the V zone provided in the second big prize opening 35 is won while the second big prize opening 35 is opened, that is, while the second big prize opening 35 is opened. A determination process for determining whether or not a winning ball detection signal is input from a V switch (not shown) is executed.
If a winning detection signal is input from the V switch while the second grand prize opening 35 is opened (S55: YES), the CPU 461 continuously opens the second big prize opening 35 in S56. A determination process is performed to determine whether or not the number of times reached the predetermined maximum number of continuations (in the case of the first embodiment, “15 times”). If the number of times the second grand prize opening 35 is opened does not reach the predetermined maximum number of continuous times (S56: NO), the second big prize opening 35 is closed for a predetermined time (in the first embodiment, (It takes about 2 seconds.) After the elapse of time, the processing after S51 is executed again.

In addition, when the winning detection signal is not input from the V switch while the second big winning opening 35 is opened (S55: NO), or the number of times the second big winning opening 35 is opened is a predetermined maximum number of continuous times. (S56: YES), in S57, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag from the RAM 463, and determines whether or not the first probability variation flag is ON, that is, whether or not the first probability variation flag is “1”. A determination process for determining
When the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is “1” (S57: YES), in S58, the CPU 461 again substitutes “1” for the first probability variation flag, that is, the first After the probability variation flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 463 again, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the “second start opening winning process”.
On the other hand, when the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is “0” (S57: NO), “0” is again substituted for the first probability variation flag, that is, the first probability variation flag is turned OFF. After storing in the RAM 463, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the “second start opening winning process”.

Here, an example of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, when the pachinko ball P1 wins the first starting port 31, the variation of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, 21C of the first variation symbol display unit 21 is started. .
Then, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, after the variation of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C of the first variation symbol display unit 21, the jackpot symbol of “777” (the jackpot symbol is “000”, “ 111 ”to“ 777 ”,“ 888 ”, and“ 999 ”), the opening / closing members 24A and 25A rotate outwardly, and the first big prize winning openings 24 and 25 are turned on. Opened. Then, the pachinko ball P2 riding on the opening / closing member 24A is guided by the first grand prize opening 24 and wins. In addition, after each 1st fluctuation | variation symbol 21A, 21B, 21C fluctuates, when it stops at a lost pattern (for example, "367" etc.), each opening-and-closing member 24A, 25A is rotated to an outward direction. First, each first big prize opening 24, 25 remains in a closed state.

Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the pachinko ball P <b> 2 that has won the first grand prize opening 24 rolls and falls in the guide passage portion 26 and wins the second start opening 28. Further, since it is detected that the pachinko ball P2 having won the first grand prize opening 24 has passed by the detection sensor 29, the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are rotated inwardly, so that each first big prize opening 24 is provided. 25 are closed. When it is detected via the second start port sensor 28A that the pachinko ball P2 has won the second start port 28, the second variable symbols 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variable symbol display unit 22 are detected. The fluctuation starts.
Further, as shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, after the variation of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22, “777” jackpot symbol (the jackpot symbol is “000”, In the case of stopping at “111” to “777”, “888”, “999”), the rotation guide member 38 rotates approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front. After the pachinko ball P2 held in the groove portion 38A rolls down the guide passage portion 40 and collides with the rib portion 39, the pachinko ball P2 randomly wins either the winning prize winning hole 41 or the normal winning winning hole 42, The number of prize balls (5 to 15 in the first embodiment) is paid out. Then, the open / close door 33 is opened upward, the second big prize opening 40 is opened, and the big hit game process (see FIG. 12) is executed.
When the pachinko ball P2 wins the winning hole 41 per probability variation, as described above, the CPU 461 reads the first certain variation flag from the RAM 463, turns on the first certain variation flag, and stores it again in the RAM 463. (See S35). Thereby, after the jackpot game ends, the lottery probability that the first jackpot will be drawn is 5/50 (see S4). Further, when the pachinko ball P2 wins the normal winning winning opening 42, as described above, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag from the RAM 463, turns off the first probability variation flag, and stores it in the RAM 463 again. (See S36). Thereby, after the jackpot game ends, the lottery probability that the first jackpot will be drawn becomes 1/50 (see S4).
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, when the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 varies and stops at the reach loss symbol of “767”, the rotation guide member 38 rotates about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball P2 held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 rolls down the guide passage portion 43, and then wins the lost winning opening 44, A predetermined number of prize balls (5 to 15 in the first embodiment) are paid out. In this case, the open / close door 33 is not opened.

  Here, the liquid crystal display 19 and the display control board 66 constitute first variation symbol display means and second variation symbol display means. The second grand prize opening 35 functions as a big prize opening. In addition, each first big winning opening 24, 25 constitutes a game ball winning opening. The guide passage portion 26 functions as a first guide passage portion. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 37 functions as a rotation driving unit. Moreover, the guide passage part 40 and the rib part 39 comprise a 2nd guide passage part. In addition, the guide passage portion 43 functions as a third guide passage portion. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 constitute first jackpot lottery means, first jackpot determination means, second jackpot lottery means, second jackpot determination means, first jackpot symbol selection means, and second jackpot symbol selection means. Also, the “hit symbol” stored in the first selection table 71 constitutes a first jackpot symbol. Further, the “hit symbol” stored in the second selection table 72 constitutes a second jackpot symbol. The CPU 461 and CPU 661 constitute first display control means and second display control means. The CPU 461 functions as a first special game control unit, a second special game control unit, and a first game control unit. In addition, the state in which the first grand prize winning ports 24 and 25 are opened and the pachinko balls can easily win the respective first big prize winning ports 24 and 25 corresponds to the first special game state. In addition, a state in which the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily awarded at each opening of the second big prize opening 35 corresponds to the second special game state. . In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the first jackpot is drawn is 1/50 corresponds to the first normal gaming mode. A gaming state in which the lottery probability that the first jackpot is drawn is 5/50 corresponds to the second normal gaming mode. Further, the winning opening switch 41A per probability change functions as first winning detection means. Further, the normal winning winning opening switch 42A functions as a second winning detection means.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the first jackpot is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/50 or 5/50 based on the winning information to the first starting port 31, and each first variation symbol 21A, When 21B and 21C change and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, the first big winning openings 24 and 25 that are normally closed by the respective opening and closing members 24A and 25A are opened. Thus, a pachinko ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25 (first special game state). Then, the pachinko balls that have entered either of the first major winning openings 24, 25 roll down the guide passage section 26 and win the second starting opening 28, and then enter the U groove section 38A of the rotation guide member 38. In the case where each second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C fluctuates based on the winning at the second starting port 28 and then stops at a jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”. The rotation guide member 38 is rotated toward the winning opening 41 per probability change, and the pachinko ball held by the rotation guide member 38 rolls and falls on the guide passage portion 40. Then, the pachinko ball rolling and falling in the guide passage portion 40 collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning winning opening 41 or the normal winning winning opening 42, and then normally opens and closes the door. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening (second special gaming state). .
For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first starting port 31 and the respective opening and closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the pachinko balls win the respective first large winning ports 24, 25. In addition, after a pachinko ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, if the second big hit is drawn and the open / close door 33 is opened, the second big winning hole 35 can be easily used. Since the pachinko ball wins, the player can easily acquire a large number of prize balls in a short time. The open / close members 24A and 25A are opened (first special game state) and the open / close door 33. However, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the acquisition of a state (second special game state) that can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times, and to increase interest.

In addition, the first jackpot is lottery based on the winning to the first starting port 31, each opening and closing member 24A, 25A is opened, and then the second jackpot is lottered based on the winning to the second starting port 28, A two-stage lottery in which the opening / closing door 33 is opened after the rotation guide member 38 rotates to the winning opening 41 side per probability change and the pachinko ball wins in either the winning opening 41 or the normal winning prize opening. Since processing is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
Further, when the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C change and then stop together with the big hit symbol, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated toward the winning change winning winning opening 41 side and the U of the rotation guide member 38 is changed. After the pachinko ball held in the groove 38A rolls and falls on the guide passage portion 40, it collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning hole 41 or the normal winning winning hole 42, After the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C vary, when the big hit symbol does not stop at the same time, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated to the lose winning prize port 44 side, and the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is rotated. The pachinko ball held inside rolls down the guide passage portion 43 and is guided to the lost winning prize port 44. As a result, the player rotates the rotation guide member 38 toward the winning prize winning opening 41 side with the probability change, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is surely changed by the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not a big hit game (second special game state) in which the second big prize winning opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times is acquired depending on whether or not it is guided to the winning prize opening 41 or the normal winning prize winning opening 42. In addition, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation for acquiring the jackpot game (second special game state) in which the second grand prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, and to increase the interest.

Also, the lottery probability per first jackpot (1/50 or 5/50 in the first embodiment) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (1/6 in the first embodiment) are respectively changed. This makes it possible to accurately control the respective lottery probabilities for the state in which each of the opening / closing members 24A, 25A is opened and the state in which the opening / closing door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times. Profit balance with amusement stores can be easily achieved.
Furthermore, after each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C varies, the jackpot symbols are aligned and stopped, and the rotation guide member 38 rotates toward the winning prize winning hole 41 side per probability variation, and in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 When the held pachinko ball rolls and falls down the guide passage portion 40 and wins the winning opening per winning slot 41, after the jackpot game is over, the probability changing mode is entered and the lottery probability for the first jackpot becomes 5/50. Since the probability of opening each opening / closing member 24, 25 is set higher, the player's sense of expectation for acquiring the probability variation mode, that is, the pachinko ball rolling and falling on the guide passage portion 40 becomes the winning opening 41 per probability variation. The expectation to win can be raised and it can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game. In addition, either the normal mode in which the lottery probability for drawing the first jackpot is 1/50 or the probability changing mode in which the lottery probability for drawing the first jackpot is 5/50 is used for the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39. Since the game is randomly selected and given after the jackpot gaming state is finished, the player's expectation for acquiring the probability variation mode can be increased, and the interest can be increased. In addition, when the probability variation mode is set as the normal gaming state after the big hit state, the possibility that the respective opening / closing members 24A and 25A are released in a short time is high, and the player prevents the decrease of the pachinko ball. In addition, since the second big winning opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times in a short time, it is possible to obtain a second big hit, so that the pachinko game can be further diversified.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 23 denote the same or corresponding parts as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. .
The schematic configuration of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Various control processes are substantially the same as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the first jackpot lottery probability and the second jackpot lottery probability executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment are executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The first jackpot lottery probability (the first jackpot lottery probability according to the first embodiment is 1/50 or 5/50) and the second jackpot lottery probability (the second jackpot lottery according to the first embodiment) Probability is 1/6.)

First, a first start opening winning process for executing a first jackpot determination and the like by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 24, in S61 and S62, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 and S2 (see FIG. 10).
In S <b> 63, the CPU 41 executes determination processing for determining whether or not it is “first big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not this is the “first big hit”, first, the CPU 461 calculates the “normal first big hit value” (“7” in the second embodiment) stored in advance in the ROM 462. This “normal first big hit value” is read and stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the “first big hit value”.
Subsequently, the algebra V1 as the “first big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 463M. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V1 matches the “first big hit value” stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If they match, “1” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1 (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1) and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If not, “0” is substituted into the first jackpot algebra R1 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. Therefore, the probability of occurrence of “first big hit” is 1/50.

Then, the CPU 461 reads the first jackpot algebra R1 from the parameter storage area 463M again, and determines whether the first jackpot algebra R1 is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “first big hit” has occurred.
When the first jackpot algebra R1 is “1”, it is determined that “first jackpot” has occurred (S63: YES), and in S64 to S69, the CPU 461 performs S5 to S10 (see FIG. 10). After executing the process, the process ends.
On the other hand, when the first jackpot algebra R1 is “0”, it is determined that the “first jackpot” has not occurred (S63: NO), and in S70 to S77, the CPU 461 performs S11 to S18 (see FIG. 10), the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S69 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG. 25. As shown in FIG. ) Is executed.
In step S87, the CPU 461 executes probability variation mode determination processing for determining whether or not the probability variation mode is set.
In the second embodiment, the “probability change mode” refers to a game mode in which the lottery probability of drawing the second big hit is high (in the second embodiment, the lottery probability is 2/6). Further, in the second embodiment, the “normal mode” refers to a game mode in which the lottery probability of drawing the second big hit is low (in the second embodiment, the lottery probability is 1/6).
In the probability variation mode determination process, first, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag stored in the RAM 463. When the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is ON, that is, “1”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is selected, and the “probability variation second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (Example) In the case of 2, “1” and “3” are read out), and this “probability variation second big hit value” is stored as “second big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is OFF, that is, when it is “0”, it is determined that the normal mode is set, and the “normal second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (example) In the case of 2, “3” is read out), and this “normal second big hit value” is stored as “second big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S <b> 88, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “second big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not it is “second big hit”, first, the algebra V2 as “second big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 463M. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V2 matches the “second big hit value” stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If they match, “1” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2) and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If not, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
Therefore, when it is not “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 1/6. In the case of the “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 2/6. Thereby, in the case of “probability change mode”, the probability of “second big hit” is about twice that in the case of not being “probability change mode”.
In the case of not being “probability change mode”, the change time of each of the second change symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C is about 10 to 30 seconds. The change time of 22A, 22B, and 22C may be about 5 seconds to 7 seconds and may be stopped quickly.

Then, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M, and it is determined whether the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “second big hit” has occurred.
When the second jackpot algebra R2 read from the parameter storage area 463M is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot” has occurred (S88: YES), and in S89 to S98, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S28 to S37 (see FIG. 11), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, when the second jackpot algebra R2 read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0”, it is determined that the “second jackpot” has not occurred (S88: NO), and in S98 to S103, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S38 to S43 (see FIG. 11), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, the sub-process of the “big hit game process” executed in S98 of FIG. 25 is performed in S111 to S118 after the CPU 461 executes the processes of S51 to S58 (see FIG. 12). The sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the second start-up winning process.

  Here, the liquid crystal display 19 and the display control board 66 constitute first variation symbol display means and second variation symbol display means. The second grand prize opening 35 functions as a big prize opening. In addition, each first big winning opening 24, 25 constitutes a game ball winning opening. The guide passage portion 26 functions as a first guide passage portion. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 37 functions as a rotation driving unit. Moreover, the guide passage part 40 and the rib part 39 comprise a 2nd guide passage part. In addition, the guide passage portion 43 functions as a third guide passage portion. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 constitute first jackpot lottery means, first jackpot determination means, second jackpot lottery means, second jackpot determination means, first jackpot symbol selection means, and second jackpot symbol selection means. Also, the “hit symbol” stored in the first selection table 71 constitutes a first jackpot symbol. Further, the “hit symbol” stored in the second selection table 72 constitutes a second jackpot symbol. The CPU 461 and CPU 661 constitute first display control means and second display control means. The CPU 461 functions as a first special game control unit, a second special game control unit, and a second game control unit. In addition, the state in which the first grand prize winning ports 24 and 25 are opened and the pachinko balls can easily win the respective first big prize winning ports 24 and 25 corresponds to the first special game state. In addition, a state in which the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily awarded at each opening of the second big prize opening 35 corresponds to the second special game state. . In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the second jackpot is drawn is 1/6 corresponds to the first lottery mode. In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the second big hit is drawn is 2/6 corresponds to the second lottery mode. Further, the winning opening switch 41A per probability change functions as first winning detection means. Further, the normal winning winning opening switch 42A functions as a second winning detection means.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment, the first jackpot is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/50 based on the winning information to the first start port 31, and the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C are drawn. After the change, when stopping at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, each first big winning opening 24, 25 that is normally closed by each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is opened, It becomes a state (first special game state) in which a pachinko ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25. Then, the pachinko balls that have entered either of the first major winning openings 24, 25 roll down the guide passage section 26 and win the second starting opening 28, and then enter the U groove section 38A of the rotation guide member 38. After being held, the second jackpot is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/6 or 2/6 based on the winning information to the second starting port 28, and the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C are changed. , “000” to “999”, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated to the winning winning opening 41 side per probability change, and the pachinko ball held by the rotation guide member 38 is guided. Roll down the passage portion 40. Then, the pachinko ball rolling and falling in the guide passage portion 40 collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning winning opening 41 or the normal winning winning opening 42, and then normally opens and closes the door. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening (second special gaming state). .
For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first starting port 31 and the respective opening and closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the pachinko balls win the respective first large winning ports 24, 25. In addition, after a pachinko ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, if the second big hit is drawn and the open / close door 33 is opened, the second big winning hole 35 can be easily used. Since the pachinko ball wins, the player can easily acquire a large number of prize balls in a short time. The open / close members 24A and 25A are opened (first special game state) and the open / close door 33. However, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the acquisition of a state (second special game state) that can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times, and to increase interest.

In addition, the first jackpot is lottery based on the winning to the first starting port 31, each opening and closing member 24A, 25A is opened, and then the second jackpot is lottered based on the winning to the second starting port 28, A two-stage lottery in which the opening / closing door 33 is opened after the rotation guide member 38 rotates to the winning opening 41 side per probability change and the pachinko ball wins in either the winning opening 41 or the normal winning prize opening. Since processing is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
Further, when the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C change and then stop together with the big hit symbol, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated toward the winning change winning winning opening 41 side and the U of the rotation guide member 38 is changed. After the pachinko ball held in the groove 38A rolls and falls on the guide passage portion 40, it collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning hole 41 or the normal winning winning hole 42, After the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C vary, when the big hit symbol does not stop at the same time, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated to the lose winning prize port 44 side, and the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is rotated. The pachinko ball held inside rolls down the guide passage portion 43 and is guided to the lost winning prize port 44. As a result, the player rotates the rotation guide member 38 toward the winning prize winning opening 41 side with the probability change, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is surely changed by the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not a big hit game (second special game state) in which the second big prize winning opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times is acquired depending on whether or not it is guided to the winning prize opening 41 or the normal winning prize winning opening 42. As well as being able to further increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot game (second special game state) in which the second big prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, Since the second big winning opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times over time, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

Further, the lottery probability per first jackpot (in the second embodiment, 1/50) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (in the second embodiment, 1/6 or 2/6) are changed. This makes it possible to accurately control the respective lottery probabilities for giving each of the opening and closing members 24A and 25A and the state in which the opening and closing door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times. Profit balance with amusement stores can be easily achieved.
Furthermore, after each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C varies, the jackpot symbols are aligned and stopped, and the rotation guide member 38 rotates toward the winning prize winning hole 41 side per probability variation, and in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 If the held pachinko ball rolls down the guide passage section 40 and wins the winning hole 41 for the probability change, after the jackpot game is over, the probability change mode is entered and the lottery probability for the second jackpot is 2/6. The probability that the state in which the open / close door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is set and the player can open the open / close door 33 continuously in a short time (second special gaming state). ), The player's expectation for acquiring the probability change mode, that is, the expectation that the pachinko ball rolling and falling on the guide passage portion 40 will win the winning entrance 41 per probability change can be increased. , Snap It is possible to attract strongly in the game. Further, either the normal mode in which the lottery probability for lottery winning the second jackpot is 1/6 or the probability variation mode in which the lottery probability for lottery winning the second jackpot is 2/6 is used for the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39. Since the game is randomly selected and given after the jackpot gaming state is finished, the player's expectation for acquiring the probability variation mode can be increased, and the interest can be increased.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 23 denote the same or corresponding parts as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. .
The schematic configuration of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Various control processes are substantially the same as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the first jackpot lottery probability and the second jackpot lottery probability executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment are executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The first jackpot lottery probability (the first jackpot lottery probability according to the first embodiment is 1/50 or 5/50) and the second jackpot lottery probability (the second jackpot lottery according to the first embodiment) Probability is 1/6.)

First, a first start opening winning process for executing a first jackpot determination by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 27, in S121 to S138, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 to S18 (see FIG. 10).
Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S130 of FIG. 27 will be described based on FIG. 28. As shown in FIG. 28, in S141 to S146, the CPU 461 performs the above S21 to S26 (see FIG. 11). ) Is executed.
In step S147, the CPU 461 executes probability variation mode determination processing for determining whether or not the probability variation mode is set.
In the third embodiment, the “probability mode” means that the lottery probability that the first big hit and the second big lot are drawn is high (in the third embodiment, the lottery probability that the first big hit is drawn is 5/50, The lottery probability of winning the second jackpot is 2/6.) Refers to the game mode. Further, in the third embodiment, the “normal mode” means that the lottery probability of drawing the first big hit and the second big hit is low (in the third embodiment, the lottery probability of drawing the first big hit is 1/50, The lottery probability of winning the second jackpot is 1/6.) Refers to the game mode.

  In the probability variation mode determination process, first, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag stored in the RAM 463. When the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is ON, that is, “1”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is selected, and the “probability variation second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (Example) In the case of 3, “1” and “3” are read out), and this “probability variation second big hit value” is stored as “second big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the first probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is OFF, that is, when it is “0”, it is determined that the normal mode is set, and the “normal second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (example) In the case of 3, “3” is read out), and this “normal second big hit value” is stored as “second big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S <b> 148, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “second big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not it is “second big hit”, first, the algebra V2 as “second big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 463M. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V2 matches the “second big hit value” stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If they match, “1” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2) and stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If not, “0” is substituted into the second jackpot algebra R2 and stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
Therefore, when it is not “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 1/6. In the case of the “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 2/6. Thereby, in the case of “probability change mode”, the probability of “second big hit” is about twice that in the case of not being “probability change mode”.
In the case of not being “probability change mode”, the change time of each of the second change symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C is about 10 to 30 seconds. The change time of 22A, 22B, and 22C may be about 5 seconds to 7 seconds and may be stopped quickly.

Then, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M, and it is determined whether the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “second big hit” has occurred.
When the second jackpot algebra R2 read from the parameter storage area 463M is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot” has occurred (S148: YES), and in S149 to S158, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S28 to S37 (see FIG. 11), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, when the second jackpot algebra R2 read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0”, it is determined that the “second jackpot” has not occurred (S148: NO), and in S159 to S163, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S38 to S43 (see FIG. 11), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29, the sub-process of the “big hit game process” executed in S158 of FIG. 28 is performed in S171 to S178, after the CPU 461 executes the processes of S51 to S58 (see FIG. 12). The sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the second start-up winning process.

  Here, the liquid crystal display 19 and the display control board 66 constitute first variation symbol display means and second variation symbol display means. The second grand prize opening 35 functions as a big prize opening. In addition, each first big winning opening 24, 25 constitutes a game ball winning opening. The guide passage portion 26 functions as a first guide passage portion. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 37 functions as a rotation driving unit. Moreover, the guide passage part 40 and the rib part 39 comprise a 2nd guide passage part. In addition, the guide passage portion 43 functions as a third guide passage portion. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 constitute first jackpot lottery means, first jackpot determination means, second jackpot lottery means, second jackpot determination means, first jackpot symbol selection means, and second jackpot symbol selection means. Also, the “hit symbol” stored in the first selection table 71 constitutes a first jackpot symbol. Further, the “hit symbol” stored in the second selection table 72 constitutes a second jackpot symbol. The CPU 461 and CPU 661 constitute first display control means and second display control means. The CPU 461 functions as a first special game control means, a second special game control means, and a third game control means. In addition, the state in which the first grand prize winning ports 24 and 25 are opened and the pachinko balls can easily win the respective first big prize winning ports 24 and 25 corresponds to the first special game state. In addition, a state in which the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily awarded at each opening of the second big prize opening 35 corresponds to the second special game state. . In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the first jackpot is drawn is 1/50 corresponds to the first normal gaming mode. A gaming state in which the lottery probability that the first jackpot is drawn is 5/50 corresponds to the second normal gaming mode. In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the second jackpot is drawn is 1/6 corresponds to the first lottery mode. In addition, a gaming state in which the lottery probability that the second big hit is drawn is 2/6 corresponds to the second lottery mode. Further, the winning opening switch 41A per probability change functions as first winning detection means. Further, the normal winning winning opening switch 42A functions as a second winning detection means.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the third embodiment, the first jackpot is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/50 or 5/50 based on the winning information to the first start port 31, and each first variation symbol 21A, When 21B and 21C change and then stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, the first big winning openings 24 and 25 that are normally closed by the respective opening and closing members 24A and 25A are opened. Thus, a pachinko ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning openings 24 and 25 (first special game state). Then, the pachinko balls that have entered either of the first major winning openings 24, 25 roll down the guide passage section 26 and win the second starting opening 28, and then enter the U groove section 38A of the rotation guide member 38. After being held, the second jackpot is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/6 or 2/6 based on the winning information to the second starting port 28, and the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C are changed. , “000” to “999”, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated to the winning winning opening 41 side per probability change, and the pachinko ball held by the rotation guide member 38 is guided. Roll down the passage portion 40. Then, the pachinko ball rolling and falling in the guide passage portion 40 collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning winning opening 41 or the normal winning winning opening 42, and then normally opens and closes the door. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a maximum of ten pachinko balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening (second special gaming state). .
For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first starting port 31 and the respective opening and closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the pachinko balls win the respective first large winning ports 24, 25. In addition, after a pachinko ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, if the second big hit is drawn and the open / close door 33 is opened, the second big winning hole 35 can be easily used. Since the pachinko ball wins, the player can easily acquire a large number of prize balls in a short time. The open / close members 24A and 25A are opened (first special game state) and the open / close door 33. However, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the acquisition of a state (second special game state) that can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times, and to increase interest.

In addition, the first jackpot is lottery based on the winning to the first starting port 31, each opening and closing member 24A, 25A is opened, and then the second jackpot is lottered based on the winning to the second starting port 28, A two-stage lottery in which the opening / closing door 33 is opened after the rotation guide member 38 rotates to the winning opening 41 side per probability change and the pachinko ball wins in either the winning opening 41 or the normal winning prize opening. Since processing is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
Further, when the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C change and then stop together with the big hit symbol, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated toward the winning change winning winning opening 41 side and the U of the rotation guide member 38 is changed. After the pachinko ball held in the groove 38A rolls and falls on the guide passage portion 40, it collides with the rib portion 39 and randomly wins either the winning winning hole 41 or the normal winning winning hole 42, After the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C vary, when the big hit symbol does not stop at the same time, the rotation guide member 38 is rotated to the lose winning prize port 44 side, and the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is rotated. The pachinko ball held inside rolls down the guide passage portion 43 and is guided to the lost winning prize port 44. As a result, the player rotates the rotation guide member 38 toward the winning prize winning opening 41 side with the probability change, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 is surely changed by the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not a big hit game (second special game state) in which the second big prize winning opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times is acquired depending on whether or not it is guided to the winning prize opening 41 or the normal winning prize winning opening 42. As well as being able to further increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot game (second special game state) in which the second big prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, Since the second big winning opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times over time, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

In addition, a lottery probability per first jackpot (in Example 3, 1/50 or 5/50) and a lottery probability per second jackpot (in Example 3, 1/6 or 2/6). By changing each, it is possible to accurately control the respective lottery probabilities for giving the opening / closing members 24A and 25A and the opening / closing door 33 being openable a predetermined number of times. Therefore, it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the amusement store.
Furthermore, after each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C has varied, the jackpot symbols are aligned and stopped, and the rotation guide member 38 rotates toward the winning winning opening 41 side per probability variation, so that the U groove portion 38A of the rotation guide member 38 If the held pachinko ball rolls down the guide passage section 40 and wins the winning hole 41 for the probability change, after the jackpot game ends, the probability change mode is entered and the lottery probability for the first jackpot is 5/50. As well as being set, the lottery probability for the second jackpot is set to 2/6, the probability that each of the opening and closing members 24 and 25 is opened, and the probability that the state that the opening and closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is high. Therefore, the player has a higher probability of acquiring a state (second special game state) in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times in a short time, and therefore, the player's sense of expectation for acquiring the probability variation mode, That is, the guide passage 40 pachinko balls rolling falling can increase the expectation of winning a prize hole 41 per probability variation, can attract strongly pachinko game. The lottery probability for the first jackpot is set to 1/50, the lottery probability for the second jackpot is set to 1/6, and the lottery probability for the first jackpot is set to 5/50. One of the probability variation modes in which the lottery probability that the second jackpot is drawn is set to 2/6 is selected at random through the guide passage portion 40 and the rib portion 39, and is granted after the jackpot gaming state ends. Therefore, the player's expectation for acquiring the probability variation mode can be increased, and the interest can be increased.

  The present invention is not limited to the first to third embodiments described above, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the following may be used.

  (A) In the first to third embodiments, when the first big hit occurs (S4: YES, S63: YES, S148: YES), the CPU 461 rotates the open / close members 24A and 25A outward. The pachinko ball enters one of the first big prize openings 24, 25 after opening the first big prize openings 24, 25, or each of the first big prize openings 24, 25 When a pachinko ball does not enter any of them and a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds to 10 seconds) has elapsed, the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are closed, and the respective first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed. Are closed (S21 to S24, S81 to S84, S141 to S144), but in the first to third embodiments, when the first big hit occurs, the CPU 461 is connected to each opening / closing member. Rotate 24A and 25A outward The number of pachinko balls that have entered from each first big prize opening 24, 25 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 2 to 15) after opening each first big prize opening 24, 25, or When a predetermined time (for example, about 10 seconds to 30 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the first grand prize winning openings 24, 25, the open / close members 24A, 25A are closed, You may comprise so that the 1 big winning holes 24 and 25 may be obstruct | occluded.

As a result, when each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is rotated outward and each first big prize opening 24, 25 is opened, a pachinko ball is easy to the first big prize opening 24, 25. It is possible to enter more than one. Then, a predetermined number (for example, about 5 to 15) of winning balls are paid out to each of the pachinko balls that have entered from the first big winning ports 24 and 25 and won the second starting port. It may be configured. In the case of such a configuration, the player can acquire a considerable number of prize balls in a short time, can increase the player's expectation for the acquisition of the first special gaming state, and increase interest. be able to.
In addition, when each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is rotated outward and each first big prize opening 24, 25 is opened, the pachinko balls entered from each first big prize opening 24, 25 are A configuration may be adopted in which the number of prizes won in the second start port 28 is counted and stored up to a predetermined number (for example, 2 to 10), and the lottery is performed for the number of times corresponding to the count value. In the case of this configuration, since the player has a higher probability of acquiring the second special gaming state, the player's expectation for the acquisition of the first special gaming state can be further increased, and the interest is increased. be able to.

(B) The rib portion 39 according to the first to third embodiments has a top portion formed in a substantially square cross section or a semicircular cross section convex upward, and a pachinko ball that collided with the top portion of the rib portion 39 from above is In this case, it is configured to randomly win one of the probability winning prize winning openings 41 or the normal winning winning prize openings 42 with a probability of about ½, but as shown in FIG. At the boundary portion between the opening 42 and the opening 42, the upper end is erected upward with a low height, and usually has a slope portion on the side of the winning winning opening 42. Probability that a pachinko ball rolling and falling from the guide passage portion 40 wins the winning opening 41 per probability change, such as providing a rib portion 81 having a substantially right-angled triangle cross section provided so as to face the substantially central portion of the edge in the left-right direction. Than the pachinko sphere It may be configured such that towards the probability of winning the prize port 42 is high.
As a result, the probability that the pachinko ball that has rolled and dropped in the guide passage section 40 will win the normal winning prize opening 42 side is increased, so that the state in which the open / close members 24A and 25A are opened and the open / close door 33 continues. Since it is possible to more accurately control the lottery probability of each grant with the state that can be opened a predetermined number of times, it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the game store.
In addition, the slant part of the rib part 81 is formed in a right-angled triangular section facing the winning opening 41 side, for example, the probability that a pachinko ball rolling and falling from the inner passage 40 will win the winning hole 42 in a normal winning manner. Alternatively, the probability that the pachinko ball wins the winning opening 41 per probability change may be higher.
As a result, the pachinko ball that has rolled and dropped in the guide passage portion 40 has a higher probability of winning on the winning opening 41 side per probability change, so that the open / close doors 33 and the open / close doors 33 are continuously opened. Since it is possible to more accurately control the lottery probability of each grant with the state that can be opened a predetermined number of times, it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the game store.
