[0026]
When a winning of a pachinko ball is detected by the start winning opening winning ball detection sensor 33, a start signal is input to the CPU 30a. The CPU 30a operates the jackpot determination unit 43 in response to the start signal.
[0027]
The jackpot determination unit 43 includes a random number generator, a random number sampling circuit, and a jackpot determination table, and draws one random number value each time a winning of a pachinko ball is detected by the start winning port winning ball detection sensor 33. The lottery random value is checked against the jackpot table, whether or not to shift to the jackpot mode is determined as a result of the lottery determination, and information (for example, command) related to the determination is generated.
[0028]
In the jackpot determination table, random numbers are grouped into two groups according to their sizes. The two random number groups are assigned jackpots for shifting to the loss or jackpot mode, and whether the sampled random number values belong to which group is determined to be lost or jackpot. A winning decision is made. When the lottery is completed, a lottery result signal is fed back to the CPU 30a.
[0029]

[0039]
In the switch load determining unit 45, the magnitude of the load applied to the effect switches 23 to 25 is determined by lottery. There are three types of load, “Large”, “Medium”, and “Small”, and “Large” of load is most likely to be a big hit. “Small” is the least likely to be a big hit. In the load table used in the lottery at the switch load determining unit 45, “Large” is selected when the lottery at the jackpot determining unit 43 is won, and “Small” is selected when the winner is won by the lottery at the jackpot determining unit 43 Random values are grouped to make it easier to do so.
[0040]
The effect execution determining unit 46 determines the type of effect to be executed by lottery. The effect determination table used in the lottery at the effect execution determination unit 46 is used when the winning determination is made in the lottery at the jackpot determination unit 43 and the table used when the lottery determination at the jackpot determination unit 43 is lost. The table is composed of two types of tables, and is used properly according to the lottery result in the jackpot determining unit 43. The content of the effect is generated from the effect of changing the rotatable range of the effect switches 23 to 25 or the load when rotating according to the possibility degree, the effect performed on the liquid crystal panel 18, the effect performed on the effect device 22, and the speaker. A thing for performing the production by voice is included.
[0041]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the pachinko machine 10, a game in the normal mode is first performed. When the player starts the game and a pachinko ball is launched on the board 11, the player wins either the start winning port 13, the normal winning port 14, or the winning pass port 14 a, or enters the out port 16.
[0042]
When a pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 13, a start signal is input from the start winning opening winning ball detection sensor 33 to the CPU 30a. In response to the start signal, the CPU 30a operates the symbol display control device 38. The symbol display control device 38 reads the graphic data of each symbol from the symbol data memory and causes the symbol to be variably displayed on the liquid crystal panel 18. In this embodiment, an animation effect is also performed in the background of variable display of symbols. At the same time, the lamp control device 40 and the voice control device 41 are operated to control the lighting and blinking of the lamps of the pachinko machine 10, and music indicating that the symbols are variably displayed is output from the speakers. The
[0043]
When the start signal is input, the jackpot determining unit 43 is operated and a lottery is performed. When the lottery determination unit 43 performs the lottery determination, either the loss or the big hit is determined. The lottery result is fed back to the CPU 30a.
[0044]
The effect execution determining unit 46 is operated based on the fact that the lottery determination unit 43 performs the lottery, and the lottery is performed using the effect determination table corresponding to the lottery result in the jackpot determining unit 43. Thereby, the production of the content according to the lottery result in the jackpot determining unit 43 is performed.
[0045]
When it is determined in the lottery at the effect execution determining unit 46 that the effect is performed using the effect device 22, the switch load determining unit 45 is activated, and the magnitude of the load applied to the effect switches 23 to 25 is determined by the lottery. It is determined. The magnitude of the load applied to the production switches 23 to 25 is likely to increase when the lottery at the jackpot determining unit 43 is won, and when the lottery at the jackpot determining unit 43 is not won, the load Tends to be smaller.
[0046]
  When it is determined to produce an effect using the effect device 22, first, a specific effect is performed from the liquid crystal panel 18 during the variable display of the symbol. When a specific effect is performed from the liquid crystal panel 18, the effect switches 23 to 25 can be operated. The player turns the effect switches 23 to 25 after a specific effect is performed from the liquid crystal panel 18.AntiRotate clockwise.

In addition, when the game is lost and lost, the effect switches 23 to 25 do not rotate 90 degrees and are not likely to be rotated in the middle. When the jackpot is won, any of the effect switches 23 to 25 is selected. It is preferable if it can be rotated 90 degrees. Furthermore, when any of the effect switches 23 to 25 is rotated by 90 degrees, the CPU 30a may operate the effect device 22. In this case, it is preferable that when the effect device 22 is operated, the movable body 22a is moved to produce an effect in a predetermined manner. Simultaneously with the operation of the rendering device 22, the CPU 30a may operate the audio control device 40 to generate a sound indicating that the jackpot has been won or lost from a speaker. Thereby, the player can detect the winning degree before the variable display of the symbols is stopped, or can detect the possibility degree related to the corresponding selection. As a result, the liquid crystal panel 18, the CPU 30a, the rendering device 22, and the sound control device 40 function as rendering means.
[0048]
In the case of winning the jackpot, the control unit (CPU) 30a samples the random number value based on the stop symbol random number sampling circuit. The sampled random number value is checked against a jackpot symbol data table to determine a symbol combination to be stopped on the winning line. When the lottery is completed, the determination information is transmitted to the symbol display control device 38, and based on this symbol display control device 38, the variable display of symbols performed on the liquid crystal display panel 18 is started and stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed. Control is performed, and a combination of symbols constituting the jackpot is displayed on the winning effective line.
[0049]
When winning the jackpot, the CPU 30a reads the execution program of the jackpot mode from the ROM area of the memory 31 when the jackpot is won, and shifts from the normal mode to the jackpot mode. When the jackpot mode is entered, the attacker opening / closing solenoid 42 is actuated, and the attacker 15 is rotated to the open position, so that either a predetermined number of wins or a predetermined time has elapsed is satisfied. To the opening position. Thereby, the big winning opening 17 is opened, and it becomes easy to win the pachinko ball. Further, the CPU 30a counts the number of rounds executed in the jackpot mode, and ends the jackpot mode when 16 rounds are completed. Note that. The contents of the game in the jackpot mode may be set as appropriate.
