Description

  The present invention provides a first variation symbol display means for displaying a first variation symbol on a variation symbol display portion provided in a game area, and a second variation symbol for displaying a second variation symbol on a variation symbol display portion provided in the game area. 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 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.
When the first jackpot algebra R1 is “1”, it is determined that “first jackpot” has occurred (S4: YES), and in S5, the CPU 461 executes a sub-process of “probability change acquisition process”. .
In the sub-process of this “probability change acquisition process”, the CPU 461 first reads the algebra Y1 from the parameter storage area 463M and stores the numerical value of the algebra Y1 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value”, “normal game mode” corresponding to the “count value” is read. When the read “normal game mode” is the “normal mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has not been acquired, reads the second probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and sets the second probability change flag. OFF, that is, “0” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the read “normal game mode” is the “probability change mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has been acquired, reads the second probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and turns on the second probability change flag. That is, “1” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S6, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the mode is the probability variation mode. That is, the second probability variation flag stored in the parameter storage area 463M is read, and it is determined whether the second probability variation flag is “0” or “1”.
When the second probability variation flag is “1”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is set (S6: YES), and in S7, the CPU 461 executes a process of selecting a probability variation big winning symbol. The selection of the probabilistic jackpot symbol is performed by reading the algebra Y1 as the first jackpot symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 463M and storing the numerical value of the algebra Y1 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value” in the table 71, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a big hit symbol.
For example, when the algebra Y1 is “0 to 9”, “1” is read out 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 display it. The jackpot symbol “111” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the first jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S8, 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.

If the second probability variation flag read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0” in S6, it is determined that it is not “probability variation mode” (S6: NO). In S9, the CPU 461 selects the normal jackpot symbol. Execute the process. The normal jackpot symbol is selected by reading the algebra Y1 as the first jackpot symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 463M and storing the numerical value of the algebra Y1 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value” in the table 71, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a big hit symbol.
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 S10, 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 the algebra H1 is an even number, “pattern 7” 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 8” 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 S11, 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 S12, 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 (S12: NO). For example, when the variation pattern is “pattern 5” or “pattern 7”, the process waits for 22 seconds. When the variation pattern is “pattern 6” or “pattern 8”, the process waits for 32 seconds.
When the processing time of the variation display process has elapsed (S12: YES), in S13, 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 S14, the CPU 461 performs 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 S15, 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 (S15: YES), and in S16, the first loss 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 S <b> 17, the CPU 461 selects a variation pattern of each of the first variation symbols 21 </ b> A, 21 </ b> B, 21 </ b> C that is 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 S15, the algebra M1 stored in the parameter storage area 463M is read, and any of the reach occurrence numerical values (in the case of the first embodiment, “0” to “27”) stored in advance in the ROM 462. If it is determined that they do not match (S15: NO), in S18, 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 S19, 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 S20, 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 463M, 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 S21, 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 (S21: 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 variable display process has elapsed (S21: YES), in S22, the CPU 461 causes the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to display the first variable symbols 21A, 21B, 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 S14 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, in S31, the CPU 461 rotates the opening / closing members 24A and 25A in the outward direction to open the first big winning holes 24 and 25.
In S 32, the CPU 461 determines whether or not a pachinko ball has entered each of the first grand prize winning openings 24 and 25, that is, a detection signal from each of the detection sensors 29 and 30 passes through an 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 of the first grand prize winning openings 24 and 25 (S32: NO), a predetermined time (Example 1) after opening the respective first big prize winning openings 24 and 25 in S33. In the case of, it is about 5 seconds to 10 seconds). Then, when a predetermined time has not elapsed since the opening of the first big winning openings 24 and 25 (S33: NO), the processing after S31 is executed again.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball enters each first big prize opening 24, 25 (S32: YES), or when a predetermined time has elapsed after opening each first big prize opening 24, 25 (S33: YES) ), In S34, the CPU 461 closes the first opening / closing members 24A, 25A by closing the open / close members 24A, 25A.
Subsequently, in S35, 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 switch 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 switch 28A is not input via the input / output circuit 464 (S35: 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 switch 28A is input via the input / output circuit 464 (S35: YES), in S36, the CPU 461 performs the “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 switch 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 assigns the numerical value stored in the second reach counter 463H when the winning signal is input from the second start port switch 28A to the algebra M2 as the “second 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 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 switch 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 switch 28A as an algebra as the “second variation pattern selection count value” at that time. 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 numerical value stored in the second losing symbol selection counter 463K when the winning signal is input from the second start port switch 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 switch 28A as the “second reach symbol selection count value” at that time 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> 37, the CPU 461 executes determination processing 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 (S37: YES), and in S38, 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 “10 to 19”, “2” is read as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the second variation symbol display unit 22 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 second jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S39, 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 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 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 (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 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 12) of “big hit game process” to be described later, ends the sub-process, and returns to the first start opening winning process.

On the other hand, when the read second big hit algebra R2 is “0” in S37, it is determined as lost (S37: NO), and in S44, 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 S45, 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 S <b> 46, 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 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 S47, 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 (S47: 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 (S47: YES), in S48, the CPU 461 sends the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22B, 22B, 22B of the second variation symbol display unit 22 to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. After the final stop signal is output to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 to stop the 22C, that is, to stop the final determination, the sub-process is terminated, and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot game process executed in S43 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 a 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 times of continuation. (S56: YES), in S57, the CPU 461 reads the second probability variation flag from the parameter storage area 463M and determines whether or not the second probability variation flag is ON, that is, the second probability variation flag is “1”. Judgment processing is performed to determine whether or not.
If the second probability variation flag read from the parameter storage area 463M is “1” (S57: YES), in S58, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and the first probability variation flag. In other words, "1" is substituted for, i.e., the first probability variation flag is turned ON and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M. Then, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the "second start opening winning process".
On the other hand, when the second probability variation flag read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0” (S57: NO), in S59, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and the first probability variation flag. In other words, “0” is substituted for, that is, the first probability variation flag is turned OFF and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M. Then, 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. .
And as shown in FIG.15 and FIG.16, after the fluctuation | variation of each 1st fluctuation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C of the 1st fluctuation symbol display part 21, it is a jackpot symbol ("777" is a probability variation big hit symbol). When stopped, the opening / closing members 24A, 25A are rotated outwardly, and the first big winning holes 24, 25 are 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 the pachinko ball P2 wins the second start port 28, the variation of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 is started.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, when the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 changes and then stops at the jackpot symbol of “777”, the door is opened and closed. 33 is opened upward, the second big prize opening 40 is opened, and the jackpot game process (see FIG. 12) is executed.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21, when the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 varies and stops at a reach loss symbol of “767”, the 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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, and a first normal A game mode selection means and a first normal game state setting means are configured. 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 and a second special 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. .

  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, it becomes a state (first special game state) in which a game ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
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, when the first jackpot lottery probability to be drawn based on the winning at the first start port 31 is set to 5/50, the probability that the open / close members 24A and 25A are opened is given. Therefore, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation for obtaining a state in which the player's first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50, and can be strongly attracted to a pachinko game. In addition, since the 1/50 lottery probability and the 5/50 state are selected and given with a 1/2 selection probability (third selection probability), the player ’s 1st jackpot probability It is possible to increase the expectation for obtaining a state in which the lottery probability of 5/50 is 5/50, and to increase interest. In addition, after the jackpot game in which the second big prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, when the state where the first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50 is set as the normal game state, each open / close member 24A , 25A is likely to be released, and the player can prevent a decrease in game balls and can acquire a second jackpot that allows the second big prize opening 35 to be opened a predetermined number of times in a short time. Therefore, 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 in FIGS. 1 to 21 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 sub-process of “second start opening winning process” executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. This is different from the sub-process of “second start opening winning process”.

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 second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 22, in S61 to S82, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 to S22 (see FIG. 10).
Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S74 of FIG. 22 will be described based on FIG. 23. As shown in FIG. 23, in S91 to S96, the CPU 461 performs the above-described S31 to S36 (see FIG. 11). ) Is executed.
In S97, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the normal gaming state is the “probability change mode”.
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, “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 S98, 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, in the normal gaming state that is not “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 1/6. In the normal gaming state of “probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “second big hit” is 2/6. Thereby, in the case of the normal gaming state in the “probability change mode”, the probability of becoming the “second big hit” is about twice 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 second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C is about 10 to 30 seconds, but in the case of the game state in the “probability change mode”. May be stopped early by setting the variation time of each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 22C to about 5 to 7 seconds.

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 (S98: YES), and in S99 to S104, 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.
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 (S98: NO), and in S105 to S109, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S44 to S48 (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. 24, the sub-process of the “big hit game process” executed in S104 of FIG. 23 is performed in S111 to S119, after the CPU 461 executes the processes of S51 to S59 (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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, and a first normal A game mode selection means, a first normal game state setting means, and a first lottery control means are configured. 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 and a second special 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. .

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the second 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, 21B is drawn. , 21C changes, and then stops at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, each first big prize opening 24, 25 that is normally closed by each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is opened. Thus, it becomes a state (first special game state) in which a game ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
In addition, the lottery probability per first jackpot (in Example 2, 1/50 or 5/50) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (in Example 2, when the lottery probability per first jackpot is 1/50) Is 1/6, and is 2/6 when the first big lottery probability is 5/50.), The respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened (first special game) State) and the state in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second special game state) can be accurately controlled, so that the profits of the player and the game store can be controlled. Balance can be easily achieved.
Furthermore, when the first jackpot lottery probability to be drawn based on the winning at the first start port 31 is set to 5/50, the probability that the open / close members 24A and 25A are opened is given. And the probability that the state that the open / close door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times will be increased, so that the player's expectation for obtaining a state where the first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50 is increased. Can be attracted to pachinko games. In addition, since the 1/50 lottery probability and the 5/50 state are selected and given with a 1/2 selection probability (third selection probability), the player ’s 1st jackpot probability It is possible to increase the expectation for obtaining a state in which the lottery probability of 5/50 is 5/50, and to increase interest. In addition, after the jackpot game in which the second big prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, when the state where the first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50 is set as the normal game state, each open / close member 24A , 25A is likely to be released, and the player can prevent a decrease in the number of game balls, and the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times in a shorter time than in the first embodiment. Since it is possible to win two big hits, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

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 in FIGS. 1 to 21 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, the first start opening winning process for executing the first jackpot determination and the like 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. 25, in S121 and S122, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 and S2 (see FIG. 10).
In S <b> 123, the CPU 41 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 CPU 461 calculates the “normal first big hit value” (“7” in the third embodiment) stored in the ROM 462 in advance. 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 (S123: YES), and in S124 to S133, the CPU 461 performs S5 to S14 (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 (S123: NO), and in S134 to S141, the CPU 461 performs S15 to S22 (see FIG. 10), the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S133 of FIG. 25 will be described based on FIG. 26. As shown in FIG. 26, in S151 to S156, the CPU 461 performs the above S31 to S36 (see FIG. 11). ) Is executed.
In S157, the CPU 461 executes a probability variation mode determination process that determines whether or not the probability variation mode is set in the processing of S124.
In this probability variation mode determination process, first, the CPU 461 reads the second probability variation flag stored in the parameter storage area 463M. If the second 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 second probability variation flag read from the RAM 463 is OFF, that is, “0”, it is determined that the normal mode is selected, 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 S158, 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 (S158: YES), and in S159 to S164, 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.
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 (S158: NO), and the CPU 461 in S165 to S169, After executing the processes of S44 to S48 (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. 27, the sub-process of the “big hit game process” executed in S164 of FIG. The sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the second start-up winning process. Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, the first probability variation flag is not used, that is, “0” is always assigned to the first probability variation flag and stored in the RAM 463.

  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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, and a first normal A game mode selection means and a second lottery control means are configured. 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 and a second special 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. . Further, the normal game state in which the second probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first normal game mode. Further, the normal game state in which the second probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second normal game mode.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the third 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 vary. After that, 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) where a game ball can easily win the first big prize opening 24, 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
In addition, the lottery probability per first jackpot (in the third embodiment, 1/50) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (in the third embodiment, 1/6 when not in the probability variation mode and 2 in the probability variation mode). / 6), the opening / closing members 24A and 25A are opened (first special gaming state) and the opening / closing door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second). Since it is possible to accurately control the lottery probabilities of the respective grants with the special game state), it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the game store.
Further, the probability variation mode (when the second probability variation flag is ON) and the case where it is not the probability variation mode (when the second probability variation flag is OFF) are selected with 1/2 selection probability (third selection probability). If it is given, the probability that the opening / closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is increased, and the player can open the opening / closing door 33 continuously in a short time (the first state) 2 special game states) can be obtained, and the pachinko game can be further diversified.

Further, in the “reach C1 loss table” (not shown), a display pattern having a display effect time of “10 seconds” is set as a display pattern of reach loss as a variation pattern. In addition, in the “reach A1 normal hit table” (not shown), a variation effect pattern having a display effect time of “22 seconds” as the first big hit display pattern is set. Furthermore, in the “reach B1 normal per table” (not shown), a display pattern having a display effect time of “32 seconds” is set as the first big hit display pattern as the variation pattern.

Next, the fourth variation pattern table 81 stored in the variation pattern table storage area 662A of the ROM 662 of the display control board 66 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 29B, the fourth variation pattern table 81 used when determining a variation display table (not shown) indicates a variation pattern of a variation pattern instructed from the CPU 461 of the main board 46. ”And a“ variation display table ”corresponding to the“ variation pattern ”.

Further, in the “reach B2 probability variation table” and “reach B2 normal variation table” (not shown), a display pattern having a display effect time of “32 seconds” is set as the first big hit display pattern.

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 FIG.
As shown in FIG. 30, in S181 to S184, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 to S4 (see FIG. 10).
Then, in S184, the first jackpot algebra R1 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the first jackpot algebra R1 is “1”, it is determined that the “first jackpot” has occurred (S184: YES). In S185, 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” of the third selection table 77, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out 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 S186, 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.
Subsequently, in S187 to S190, the CPU 461 ends the process after executing the processes of S11 to S14 (see FIG. 10).
On the other hand, when the read first big hit algebra R1 is “0” in S184, it is determined as a loss (S184: NO), and in S191 to S198, the CPU 461 performs the above steps S15 to S22 (see FIG. 10). After executing the process, the process ends.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S190 (see FIG. 30) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 31, in S201 through S207, the CPU 461 executes the processes in S31 through S37 (see FIG. 11).
Then, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read from the parameter storage area 463M. When the second jackpot algebra R2 is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot algebra” has occurred (S207: YES). In S208, the CPU 461 executes a sub-process of “probability change acquisition process”.
In the sub-process of this “probability acquisition process”, the CPU 461 first reads the algebra Y2 from the parameter storage area 463M and stores the numerical value of the algebra Y2 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value”, the “normal game mode” corresponding to the “count value” is read out. When the read “normal game mode” is the “normal mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has not been acquired, reads the first probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and sets the first probability change flag. OFF, that is, “0” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, if the read “normal game mode” is “probability change mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has been acquired, reads the first probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and turns on the first probability change flag. That is, “1” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M.

Next, in S209, the CPU 461 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the mode is the probability variation mode. That is, the first probability variation flag stored in the parameter storage area 463M is read, and it is determined whether the first probability variation flag is “0” or “1”.
When the first probability variation flag is “1”, it is determined that the “probability variation mode” is set (S209: YES), and in S210, the CPU 461 executes a process of selecting a probability variation big winning symbol. In the selection of the probabilistic 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 the “count value” in the table 78, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out, and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the second variable symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a two big hit symbol.
For example, when the algebra Y2 is “0 to 9”, “1” is read out as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the second variable symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19 so as to be displayed. The jackpot symbol “111” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the first jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S211, the CPU 461 selects a variation pattern of each of the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, and 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 from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the algebra H2 is an even number, “pattern 4” is used as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. On the other hand, when the algebra H2 is an odd number, “pattern 5” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

In S208, when the first probability variation flag read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0”, it is determined that the mode is not “probability variation mode” (S208: NO), and in S212, the CPU 461 selects the normal jackpot symbol. Execute the process. The selection of the normal jackpot symbol is performed by reading the algebra Y2 as the second jackpot symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 463M and storing the numerical value of the algebra Y2 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value” in the table 78, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out, and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the second variable symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19. The two big hit symbols are stored in the parameter storage area 463M.
For example, when the algebra Y2 is “10 to 19”, “2” is read out as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the second variable symbol display unit 22 of the liquid crystal display 19 so as to be displayed. A jackpot symbol of “222” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the second jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S213, 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 from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the algebra H2 is an even number, “pattern 6” is designated as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66. On the other hand, when the algebra H2 is an odd number, “pattern 7” 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 S214 to S217, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S40 to S43 (see FIG. 11), ends the sub-process, and returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, in S207, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M. If the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0”, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S207: NO), and S218. In S222, the CPU 461 executes the processes in S44 through S48 (see FIG. 11), ends the sub-process, and returns to the first start opening winning process.

Next, the sub process of the jackpot game process executed in S217 (see FIG. 31) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 32, in S231 to S236, the CPU 461 returns to the second start opening winning process after executing the processes of S51 to S56 (see FIG. 12). Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment, the second probability variation flag is not used, that is, “0” is always substituted into the second probability variation flag and stored in the RAM 463.

  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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, and a second normal A game mode selection means and a second normal game state setting means are configured. 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 and a second special 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, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first normal gaming mode. Further, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second normal gaming mode.

  Accordingly, in the pachinko machine according to the fourth 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 the first variation symbols 21A and 21B are selected. , 21C changes, and then stops at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, each first big prize opening 24, 25 that is normally closed by each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is opened. Thus, it becomes a state (first special game state) in which a game ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 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, the lottery probability for the first jackpot (1/50 or 5/50 in the fourth embodiment) and the lottery probability for the second jackpot (1/6 in the fourth embodiment) are respectively 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.
Further, when the first jackpot lottery probability to be drawn based on the winning at the first start port 31 is set to 5/50, the probability that the opening / closing members 24A and 25A are opened is given. Therefore, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation for obtaining a state (second normal game mode) in which the player's first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50, and can be strongly attracted to a pachinko game. In addition, the state of the 1st jackpot lottery probability is 1/50 (first normal game mode) and the state of 5/50 (second normal game mode) is a 1/2 selection probability (third selection probability). Since it is selected and given, it is possible to increase the expectation for the player to obtain a state where the lottery probability of the first jackpot is 5/50, and to increase the interest. In addition, after the jackpot game in which the second big prize opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, when the state where the first jackpot lottery probability is 5/50 is set as the normal game state, each open / close member 24A , 25A is likely to be released, and the player can prevent a decrease in game balls and can acquire a second jackpot that allows the second big prize opening 35 to be opened a predetermined number of times in a short time. Therefore, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a fifth 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 in FIGS. 1 to 21 denote the same or corresponding parts as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. . In the following description, the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 28 to 32 indicate the same or corresponding parts as those of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment.
The schematic configuration of the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. Various control processes are substantially the same as those of the pachinko machine according to the fourth 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 fifth embodiment are executed by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. The first jackpot lottery probability (the first jackpot lottery probability according to the fourth embodiment is 1/50 or 5/50) and the second jackpot lottery probability (the second jackpot lottery probability according to the fourth embodiment) Is 1/6.).

First, the first start opening winning process for executing the first jackpot determination by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 33, in S241 and S242, the CPU 461 executes the processing of S181 and S182 (see FIG. 30).
In S243, the CPU 41 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 CPU 461 calculates the “normal first big hit value” (“7” in the case of the fifth embodiment) stored in the ROM 462 in advance. 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 (S243: YES), and in S244 to S249, the CPU 461 performs the above S185 to S190 (see FIG. 30). 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 (S243: NO), and in S250 to S257, the CPU 461 performs the above S191 to S198 (FIG. 30), the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S249 of FIG. 33 will be described based on FIG. 34. As shown in FIG. 34, in S261 to S266, the CPU 461 performs the above S201 to S206 (see FIG. 31). ) Is executed.
In step S267, the CPU 461 executes probability change mode determination processing for determining whether or not the probability change mode is set.
In this probability variation mode determination process, first, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag stored in the parameter storage area 463M. 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 5, “1” and “3” are read out), and this “probability changed second big hit value” is stored as “second big hit value” in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the second 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 second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (Example) In the case of 5, “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 S268, 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 the first probability variation flag is OFF, that is, when the probability variation mode is not set, the probability of occurrence of the “second big hit” is 1/6. When the first probability variation flag is ON, that is, in the “probability variation 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 a “second jackpot” has occurred (S268: YES), and in S269 to S278, the CPU 461 After executing the processes of S208 to S217 (see FIG. 31), 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 (S268: NO), and in S279 to S283, the CPU 461 Then, after executing the processes of S218 to S222 (see FIG. 31), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 35, the sub-process of the “big hit game process” executed in S278 of FIG. 34 is performed in S291 to S296, after the CPU 461 executes the processes of S231 to S236 (see FIG. 32). The sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the second start-up winning process. Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment, the second probability variation flag is not used, that is, “0” is always substituted into the second probability variation flag and stored in the RAM 463.

  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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. The CPU 461, ROM 462, and RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, a lottery mode selection. Means and third lottery control 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 and a second special 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. . Further, the normal gaming state in which the first probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first lottery mode. In addition, the normal game state in which the first probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second lottery mode.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the fifth 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 changed. After that, 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) where a game ball can easily win the first big winning opening 24, 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a maximum of ten game balls can be easily won from each second major prize opening 35 (second special game state). ). For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
Also, the lottery probability for the first jackpot (in Example 5, 1/50) and the lottery probability for the second jackpot (in Example 5, 1/6 when not in the probability variation mode and 2 in the probability variation mode). / 6), the opening / closing members 24A and 25A are opened (first special gaming state) and the opening / closing door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second). Since it is possible to accurately control the lottery probabilities of the respective grants with the special game state), it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the game store.
Further, when the probability variation mode (when the first probability variation flag is ON) and when not in the probability variation mode (when the first probability variation flag is OFF), the selection probability is ½ (fourth selection probability). If it is given, the probability that the opening / closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is increased, and the player can open the opening / closing door 33 continuously in a short time (the first state) 2 special game states) can be acquired, and the pachinko game can be further diversified.

The “normal game mode” in the seventh selection table 85 includes “probability change mode”, “7”, “9” corresponding to “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” of “big hit symbol”. “Normal mode” is stored in advance corresponding to “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”, and “0” of the jackpot symbol.
Here, in the “normal mode”, after the jackpot game is over, the lottery probability for drawing the first jackpot is low as described later (in the case of Example 6, the lottery probability is 1/50). It represents a certain normal gaming state. In the “probability change mode”, after the jackpot game is over, the lottery probability for drawing the first jackpot is high as described later (in the case of the sixth embodiment, the lottery probability is 5/50). It represents the normal gaming state.

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 FIG.
As shown in FIG. 37, in S301 to S304, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S1 to S4 (see FIG. 10).
In S304, the first jackpot algebra R1 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the first jackpot algebra R1 is “1”, it is determined that the “first jackpot” has occurred (S304: YES). In S305, the CPU 461 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the mode is the probability variation mode.
In the determination process for determining whether or not the mode is the probability variation mode, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag from the parameter storage area 463M. If the first probability variation flag is ON, that is, “1”, the CPU 461 is in the probability variation mode. Judge that there is. On the other hand, when the read first probability variation flag is OFF, that is, “0”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is not set.

Subsequently, when it is determined that the mode is the probability variation mode (S305: YES), in S306, the CPU 461 executes a process of selecting a probability variation big hit symbol. In the selection of the probabilistic jackpot symbol, the algebra Y1 as the first jackpot symbol selection count value is read 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 table 83, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out, and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as one big hit symbol.
For example, when the algebra Y1 is “0 to 19”, “1” is read as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the first variation symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19 so as to be displayed. A jackpot symbol of “111” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as the first jackpot symbol instructed to the CPU 661.
In S307, 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.

In S305, when the first probability variation flag read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0”, it is determined that the mode is not “probability variation mode” (S305: NO). In S308, the CPU 461 selects the normal jackpot symbol. Execute the process. This normal jackpot symbol selection is performed by reading 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 table 84, the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the “count value” is read out and the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is instructed to display it on the first variable symbol display unit 21 of the liquid crystal display 19. It is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a big hit symbol.
For example, when the algebra Y1 is “0 to 19”, “2” is read as the “big hit symbol” and is displayed on the first variation 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 S309, 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 7” 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 8” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as a variation pattern instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66.

Subsequently, in S310 to S313, the CPU 461 ends the process after executing the processes of S11 to S14 (see FIG. 10).
On the other hand, when the first big hit algebra R1 read from the parameter storage area 463M is “0” in S304, it is determined as a loss (S304: NO), and in S314 to S321, the CPU 461 performs the above S15 to S22 ( After executing the process of FIG. 10, the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S313 (see FIG. 37) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 38, in S331 to S336, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S31 to S36 (see FIG. 11).
In step S337, the CPU 461 executes probability change mode determination processing for determining whether or not the probability change mode is set.
In this probability variation mode determination process, first, the CPU 461 reads the first probability variation flag stored in the parameter storage area 463M. 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 6, “1” and “3” are read out), and this “probability variation second big hit value” is stored in the parameter storage area 463M as “second big hit value”. On the other hand, when the second 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 second big hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (Example) In the case of 6, “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 S338, 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 the first probability variation flag is OFF, that is, when the probability variation mode is not set, the probability of occurrence of the “second big hit” is 1/6. When the first probability variation flag is ON, that is, in the “probability variation 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.

In S338, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the second jackpot algebra R2 is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot” has occurred (S338). : YES), in S339, the CPU 461 executes a sub-process of “probability change acquisition process”.
In the sub-process of this “probability change acquisition process”, the CPU 461 first reads the algebra Y2 from the parameter storage area 463M and stores the numerical value of the algebra Y2 in the jackpot symbol selection table storage area 462A of the ROM 462. As the “count value”, “normal game mode” corresponding to the “count value” is read. When the read “normal game mode” is the “normal mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has not been acquired, reads the first probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and sets the first probability change flag. It is turned off, that is, “0” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M. On the other hand, when the read “normal game mode” is “probability change mode”, the CPU 461 determines that the probability change has been acquired, reads the first probability change flag from the parameter storage area 463M, and turns on the first probability change flag. That is, “1” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463M.

Subsequently, in S340 to S345, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S38 to S43 (see FIG. 11), ends the sub-process, and returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, in S338, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read again from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0”, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S338: NO), and S346. In steps S350 to S350, the CPU 461 executes the processes in steps S44 to S48 (see FIG. 11), ends the sub-process, and returns to the first start opening winning process.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot game process executed in S345 (see FIG. 38) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 39, in S351 to S356, the CPU 461 returns to the second start opening winning process after executing the processes of S51 to S56 (see FIG. 12). Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment, the second probability variation flag is not used, that is, “0” is always assigned to the second probability variation flag and stored in the RAM 463.

  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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. The CPU 461, ROM 462, and RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, a lottery mode selection. Means, second normal game state setting means, and game control 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 and a second special 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, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first normal gaming mode and the first lottery mode. In addition, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second normal gaming mode and the second lottery mode.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the sixth 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 the first variation symbols 21A and 21B are selected. , 21C changes, and then stops at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, each first big prize opening 24, 25 that is normally closed by each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is opened. Thus, it becomes a state (first special game state) in which a game ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning ports 24 and 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 is performed, the pachinko game can be diversified to increase the interest of the player, and can be strongly attracted to the pachinko game.
Also, the lottery probability per first jackpot (in Example 6, 1/50 or 5/50) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (in Example 6, when the lottery probability per first jackpot is 1/50) Is 1/6 and is 2/6 when the lottery probability of the first big hit is 5/50.), The respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened (first special game) State) and the state in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second special game state) can be accurately controlled, so that the profits of the player and the game store can be controlled. Balance can be easily achieved.

  Furthermore, when the lottery probability for the second jackpot is set to 2/6, the lottery probability for the first jackpot is set to 5/50, and the probability that the open / close members 24A and 25A are opened is given. And the probability that the opening / closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is increased, so that the player has a 2/6 lottery probability, that is, the 1st lottery lottery. A sense of expectation for acquisition of a state with a probability of 5/50 can be increased, and it can be strongly attracted to a pachinko game. In addition, the state where the lottery probability of the second jackpot is 1/6 and the state of 2/6 are selected and given with a selection probability (fourth selection probability) of 1/2, so the player's second jackpot In the state where the lottery probability is 2/6, that is, the state where the lottery probability per first jackpot is 5/50 can be increased, and the interest can be increased. In addition, after the jackpot game in which the second big winning opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, when the lottery probability of the second jackpot becomes 2/6, that is, when the probability change mode is entered, each opening / closing member is quickly completed. The possibility of opening 24A and 25A is increased, and the player can prevent a decrease in game balls, and the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times in a shorter time than in the first embodiment. Since it is possible to win the second jackpot, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

As shown in FIG. 41, the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine according to the seventh embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 of the main board 46 is connected to a second start port sensor 28B for detecting a winning to the second start port 28 instead of the second start port switch 28A, and , A sorting motor 91 that is configured by a stepping motor or the like and rotationally drives the rotation guide member 90 in the circumferential direction, a winning winning port switch 94A that detects winning in the winning winning port 94, and a lose that detects winning in the lost winning port 97 A prize opening switch 97A and the like are connected.

Next, control processing such as first jackpot determination by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the seventh embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The control process such as the first jackpot determination by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the seventh embodiment is almost the same as the control process such as the first jackpot determination by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The same control process.
However, as shown in FIG. 42, the second start opening winning process by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine according to the seventh embodiment is the second start by the CPU 461 of the main board 46 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. It is different from the winning prize process.

Here, the sub process of the second start opening winning process executed in S14 (see FIG. 10) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 42, in S361 to S367, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S31 to S37 (see FIG. 11).
In S367, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read from the parameter storage area 463M. When the second jackpot algebra R2 is “1”, it is determined that the “second jackpot” has occurred (S367: YES), in S368 to S372, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S38 to S42 (see FIG. 11).
Subsequently, in S373, the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90. Is rolled to the guide passage portion 93.

Subsequently, in S374, the CPU 461 determines whether or not the pachinko ball rolling and falling into the guide passage portion 93 has won the winning winning opening 94, that is, the detection signal of the pachinko ball from the winning winning opening switch 94A is input / output circuit. A determination process for determining whether or not an input is made via (I / O) 464 is executed.
If the detection signal of the pachinko ball from the winning prize opening switch 94A is not input within a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the seventh embodiment) via the input / output circuit 464 ( S374: NO), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and makes the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 face the second start port 28 Thereafter, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, when the detection signal of the pachinko ball from the winning winning opening switch 94A is input via the input / output circuit 464 (S374: YES), in S375, the CPU 461 performs the process of S43 (see FIG. 11). , The distribution motor 91 is driven to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is opposed to the second start port 28, The process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

On the other hand, in S367, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0”, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S367: NO), and S376 to In S380, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S44 to S48 (see FIG. 11).

Roll and drop into the passage portion 96. Thereafter, after elapse of a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the seventh embodiment), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front. After the U-groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is opposed to the second start port 28, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start port winning process.

Here, an example of the gaming state of the pachinko machine according to the seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, when the pachinko ball P5 wins at the first start port 31, the variation of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C of the first variation symbol display unit 21 is started. .
Then, as shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, after the variation of each of the first variation symbols 21A, 21B, and 21C of the first variation symbol display unit 21, it is a jackpot symbol (“777” is a probability variation big bonus symbol). When stopped, the open / close members 24A, 25A are rotated outward, and the first big prize winning openings 24, 25 are opened. The pachinko ball P6 riding on the opening / closing member 24A is guided by the first big prize opening 24 and won. 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. 47 and 48, the pachinko ball P <b> 6 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. In addition, since the pachinko ball P6 that has won the first grand prize opening 24 is detected by the detection sensor 29, the opening / closing members 24A and 25A are rotated inwardly, and the first big prize opening 24 is detected. 25 are closed. When it is detected via the second start port sensor 28B that the pachinko ball P6 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 FIGS. 49 to 51, when the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 varies and stops at the big hit symbol of “777”, the rotation guide The member 90 rotates approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball P6 held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 wins the winning prize opening 94, and a predetermined number of prize balls are 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.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 52 and 53, when the second variation symbol 22A, 22B, 22C of the second variation symbol display unit 22 changes and then stops at a reach loss symbol of “767”, the rotation guide member 90 rotates about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball P6 held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 wins the lose winning slot 97, and a predetermined number of prize balls 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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 91 functions as a rotation driving unit. The guide passage portion 93 functions as a second guide passage portion. The guide passage portion 96 functions as a third guide passage portion.

Here, the sub-process of the second start opening winning process executed in S249 (see FIG. 33) will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 65, in S481 to S488, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S261 to S268 (see FIG. 34).
In S488, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the second jackpot algebra R2 is “1”, it is determined that “second jackpot” has occurred (S488: YES), in S489 to S497, the CPU 461 executes the processing of S269 to S277 (see FIG. 34).
Subsequently, in S498, the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90. Is rolled to the guide passage portion 93.

Subsequently, in S499, the CPU 461 determines whether or not the pachinko ball rolling and dropping into the guide passage portion 93 has won the winning winning opening 94, that is, the pachinko ball detection signal from the winning winning opening switch 94A is input / output circuit. A determination process for determining whether or not an input is made via (I / O) 464 is executed.
If the detection signal of the pachinko ball from the winning prize opening switch 94A is not input within a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the embodiment 11) via the input / output circuit 464 ( S499: NO), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and makes the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 face the second start port 28. Thereafter, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.
On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the winning prize opening switch 94A is input via the input / output circuit 464 (S499: YES), in S500, the CPU 461 performs the processing of S278 (see FIG. 34). , The distribution motor 91 is driven to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is opposed to the second start port 28, The process is terminated and the process returns to the first start opening winning process.

On the other hand, in S488, the second jackpot algebra R2 is read from the parameter storage area 463M, and when the second jackpot algebra R2 is “0”, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S488: NO), and S501 to In S505, the CPU 461 executes the processes of S279 to S283 (see FIG. 34).
In step S506, the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and guides the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90. Roll and drop into the passage portion 96. Thereafter, after elapse of a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the embodiment 11), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front. After the U-groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is opposed to the second start port 28, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start port 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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 91 functions as a rotation driving unit. The guide passage portion 93 functions as a second guide passage portion. The guide passage portion 96 functions as a third guide passage portion. The CPU 461, ROM 462, and RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, a lottery mode selection. Means and third lottery control 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 and a third special 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. . Further, the normal gaming state in which the first probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first lottery mode. In addition, the normal game state in which the first probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second lottery mode.

  Accordingly, in the pachinko machine according to the eleventh 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 vary. After that, 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) where a game ball can easily win the first big winning opening 24, 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a maximum of ten game balls can be easily won from each second major prize opening 35 (second special game state). ). For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 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 are varied and stopped together with the big hit symbol, the rotation guide member 90 is rotated to the winning winning opening 94 side, and the U groove portion of the rotation guide member 90 is If the pachinko ball held in 90A is guided to the winning winning opening 94, and the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C are not varied and stopped at the big hit symbol after the variation, the rotation guide member 90 And the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is guided to the lose prize port 97, so that the player can play the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90. The state in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second special game state) depending on whether the pachinko ball held inside is guided to the winning winning hole 94 or the lost winning hole 97 Can be easily confirmed, and the player's expectation for the acquisition of a state (second special game state) in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times can be enhanced. Can be increased.

In addition, the lottery probability for the first jackpot (in Example 11, 1/50) and the lottery probability for the second jackpot (in Example 11, 1/6 when not in the probability variation mode and 2 in the probability variation mode). / 6), the open / close members 24A, 25A are opened (first special game state) and the open / close door 33 can be opened continuously a predetermined number of times (second). Since it is possible to accurately control the lottery probabilities of the respective grants with the special game state), it is possible to easily achieve a profit balance between the player and the game store.
Further, when the probability variation mode (when the first probability variation flag is ON) and when not in the probability variation mode (when the first probability variation flag is OFF), the selection probability is ½ (fourth selection probability). If it is given, the probability that the opening / closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is increased, and the player can open the opening / closing door 33 continuously in a short time (the first state) 2 special game states) can be acquired, and the pachinko game can be further diversified.

Thereafter, after a predetermined time (about 5 to 10 seconds in the twelfth embodiment), the CPU 461 drives the sorting motor 91 to rotate the rotation guide member 90 approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise when viewed from the front. After the U-groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is opposed to the second start port 28, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the first start port 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. Each detection sensor 29, 30 functions as a game ball detection means. Further, the sorting motor 91 functions as a rotation driving unit. The guide passage portion 93 functions as a second guide passage portion. The guide passage portion 96 functions as a third guide passage portion. The CPU 461, ROM 462, and RAM 463 include a first jackpot lottery means, a first jackpot determination means, a second jackpot lottery means, a second jackpot determination means, a first jackpot symbol selection means, a second jackpot symbol selection means, a lottery mode selection. Means, second normal game state setting means, and game control 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 and a second special 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, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is OFF corresponds to the first normal gaming mode and the first lottery mode. In addition, the gaming state when the first probability variation flag is ON corresponds to the second normal gaming mode and the second lottery mode.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the twelfth 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 the first variation symbols 21A and 21B are drawn. , 21C changes, and then stops at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, each first big prize opening 24, 25 that is normally closed by each opening / closing member 24A, 25A is opened. Thus, it becomes a state (first special game state) in which a game ball can be easily won in each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25. When a game ball enters one of the first big winning holes 24, 25, the first big winning holes 24, 25 are closed by the opening / closing members 24A, 25A, and the gaming ball is closed. When the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C change based on the winning information to the second starting port 28 and stop at the jackpot symbol of “000” to “999”, it is normally opened and closed. The second grand prize opening 35 closed by the door 33 can be opened a plurality of times, and a state (second special gaming state) in which up to ten game balls can be easily won from the second major prize opening 35 at each opening. Become. For this reason, when the first jackpot is drawn based on the winning at the first start opening 31 and the respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened, the game balls win the respective first big winning openings 24, 25. In addition, after a game ball enters each of the first big winning holes 24 and 25, when 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 game balls are won, the player can easily acquire a lot 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 acquiring 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, Since the two-stage lottery process of opening the open / close door 33 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 are varied and stopped together with the big hit symbol, the rotation guide member 90 is rotated to the winning winning opening 94 side, and the U groove portion of the rotation guide member 90 is If the pachinko ball held in 90A is guided to the winning winning opening 94, and the second variation symbols 22A, 22B, 22C are not varied and stopped at the big hit symbol after the variation, the rotation guide member 90 And the pachinko ball held in the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90 is guided to the lose prize port 97, so that the player can play the U groove portion 90A of the rotation guide member 90. The state in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second special game state) depending on whether the pachinko ball held inside is guided to the winning winning hole 94 or the lost winning hole 97 Can be easily confirmed, and the player's expectation for the acquisition of a state (second special game state) in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times can be enhanced. Can be increased.

  Further, the lottery probability per first jackpot (in Example 12, 1/50 or 5/50) and the lottery probability per second jackpot (in Example 12, when the lottery probability per first jackpot is 1/50) Is 1/6 and is 2/6 when the lottery probability of the first big hit is 5/50.), The respective opening / closing members 24A, 25A are opened (first special game) State) and the state in which the open / close door 33 can be continuously opened a predetermined number of times (second special game state) can be accurately controlled, so that the profits of the player and the game store can be controlled. Balance can be easily achieved.

  Furthermore, when the lottery probability for the second jackpot is set to 2/6, the lottery probability for the first jackpot is set to 5/50, and the probability that the open / close members 24A and 25A are opened is given. And the probability that the opening / closing door 33 can be opened a predetermined number of times is increased, so that the player has a 2/6 lottery probability, that is, the 1st lottery lottery. A sense of expectation for acquisition of a state with a probability of 5/50 can be increased, and it can be strongly attracted to a pachinko game. In addition, the state where the lottery probability of the second jackpot is 1/6 and the state of 2/6 are selected and given with a selection probability (fourth selection probability) of 1/2, so the player's second jackpot In the state where the lottery probability is 2/6, that is, the state where the lottery probability per first jackpot is 5/50 can be increased, and the interest can be increased. In addition, after the jackpot game in which the second big winning opening 35 is opened a predetermined number of times, when the lottery probability of the second jackpot becomes 2/6, that is, when the probability change mode is entered, each opening / closing member is quickly completed. The possibility of opening 24A and 25A is increased, and the player can prevent a decrease in game balls, and the second grand prize opening 35 can be opened a predetermined number of times in a shorter time than in the first embodiment. Since it is possible to win the second jackpot, the pachinko game can be further diversified.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the first to the twelfth 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 twelfth embodiments, when the first jackpot is generated (S4: YES, S64: YES, S123: YES, S184: YES, S243: YES, S304: YES), the CPU 461 The pachinko ball enters one of the first major winning openings 24, 25 after the first opening / closing members 24A, 25A are rotated outwardly to open the first major winning openings 24, 25, or When a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds to 10 seconds) has passed without any pachinko ball entering any of the first major winning openings 24, 25, the open / close members 24A, 25A are closed. The first grand prize winning ports 24 and 25 are closed (S31 to S34, S91 to S94, S151 to S154, S201 to S204, S261 to S264, S331 to S334, S36). ~ S364, S391 ~ S394, S421 ~ S424, S451 ~ S454, S481 ~ S484, S511 ~ S514), and when the first big hit occurs in any of the first to the twelfth examples, the CPU 461 is connected to each opening / closing member. 24A and 25A are rotated outwards to open the first big winning holes 24 and 25, and then the number of pachinko balls entered from the first big winning holes 24 and 25 is a predetermined number (for example, two ˜15), or when a predetermined time (for example, about 10 seconds to 30 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of each of the first large winning openings 24, 25, each opening / closing member 24A. , 25A may be closed, and the first big winning holes 24, 25 may be closed.

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) In the first to twelfth embodiments, whether or not the “probability change mode” is acquired corresponds to each “count value” in the first selection table 71, the fourth selection table 78, or the seventh selection table 85.
