JP 2003-310924 A

  In Patent Document 1, it is also proposed to replace the jackpot lottery probability associated with the start port when a predetermined condition is established. It did not improve game play.

  The present invention has been made based on the above-described background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which the on-hold display mode is rich in change and the on-hold game performance is improved.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
Start prize opening arranged on the game board,
In accordance with the winning at the starting prize opening, a lottery means for determining whether or not to win,
A hold information storage means for storing the result of the lottery performed by the success / failure lottery means as the first hold information or the second hold information;
Variable display means for variably displaying symbols based on the first and second hold information;
A hold display means for displaying the first and second hold information in a common display area;

Equipped with a,
The variable display based on the first hold information and the variable display based on the second hold information have different probability of displaying a jackpot symbol, and / or the first jackpot and the second jackpot have different jackpot modes. Features.

  The pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is configured to be capable of storing two types of hold information, the first hold information and the second hold information, and to display the first and second hold information in a common display area. The hold information is changed when the display mode shows a predetermined display mode. For example, the hit condition, specifically, the hit probability and / or the jackpot mode at the time of the jackpot can be set differently depending on the first hold information and the second hold information, and the hold information can be changed. Therefore, in the hold display, the player pays attention to the trend of the display mode itself in addition to the increase / decrease display of the hold information, and the hold information is switched according to the display mode, thereby changing the number of balls that the player acquires. This also makes it possible to improve game play.

At that time, as the start winning opening, the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening are provided,
The holding information storage means stores the result of the lottery according to the winning at the first start winning port as the first holding information, while the result of the lottery according to the winning at the second starting winning port as the second holding information. You can memorize it. The variable display based on the first hold information and the variable display based on the second hold information have different probability of displaying the jackpot symbol, and / or the first jackpot and the second jackpot have different jackpot modes. You can In this way, the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening are provided and stored as the first hold information and the second hold information, respectively, and the winning probability and the jackpot mode are determined depending on which one is won. Are different. That is, the probability of displaying a jackpot symbol (winning probability) can be made different from each other, or the jackpot mode at the time of jackpot can be made different, and either one or both can be used. Then, when the hold display mode shows a predetermined display mode, the hold information is changed. Therefore, when the hold information with low hit probability changes to the hold information with high hit probability, or the big hit mode is more advantageous to the player. May change to a big jackpot (such as an increase in the number of rounds executed during a single jackpot) (and vice versa), and the player can keep an eye on the trend of the display mode while on hold, It is also possible to greatly change the number of balls that a player acquires, and the gameability can be improved.

  Further, at that time, it is desirable to display the first and second hold information stored in the hold information storage means arranged in series in different forms. The hold information changing means, when the hold display means shows a display mode in which the form of the first hold information is sandwiched by the form of the second hold information, the first hold corresponding to the form of the first hold information sandwiched The information can be changed as the second hold information. In this way, the first and second hold information are expressed in different forms, displayed in series, and the display mode changes each time the hold is made. For example, two forms of holding information arranged in series like an Othello game may show a sandwiched display mode. When this specific display mode is shown, the sandwiched first holding information is changed to the second holding information, and the gameability can be improved.

  Further, when the hold display means shows a display form capable of showing a predetermined display form based on displaying the next hold information, the variable display of the variable display means based on the hold information held. A suspended digestion delaying means for delaying the start time of can be provided. As described above, when there is a possibility that the display mode due to the next hold information being put on hold may result in, for example, a sandwiched display mode, the start time of the variable display of the variable display means is delayed, and the hold is digested. The delay is made, and the player pays attention to the display mode by the next hold with expectation. Examples of the method for delaying the start time of the variable display of the variable display means include extending the variable time of the current variable display or extending the period from the end of the current variable display to the start of the next variable display.

  Further, when the hold information is changed by the hold information changing means, it is possible to provide a privilege giving means for giving a benefit that is advantageous to the player. In this way, when a specific display mode is shown and the change of the hold information is executed, a special privilege can be given separately, and the player can be interested. Benefits include, for example, an increase in the number of balls at the time of jackpot, an increase in the jackpot probability, or the occurrence of a probability fluctuation state after the jackpot ends.

Example 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples of pachinko gaming machines shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present invention. The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a transparent glass door 2 attached to the underframe and a game board 3 that is disposed inside the underframe and is covered by the glass door 2. The game board 3 has a game area formed in a circular shape. Below the game board 3, a ball supply tray 4 is provided. The balls prepared in the ball supply tray 4 are launched toward the game board 3 by a ball launching mechanism including the handle 5. The ball that has reached the game board 3 falls on the surface of the game board 3.

  On the surface of the game board 3, a first symbol display unit 6 and a second symbol display unit 7 (corresponding to variable display means) are disposed on the left and right in the vicinity of the center. The first and second symbol display units 6 and 7 are constituted by a display device using liquid crystal, a display device using a light emitting diode, or a reel type display device, and has three characters such as Arabic numerals. (Multiple digits) is displayed. In the present embodiment, the same method (liquid crystal type) is adopted for all the display units 6 and 7, but it is also possible to make them different from each other. It is also possible to provide the first symbol display unit 6 and the second symbol display unit 7 by dividing the display area of one display device. Below the first and second symbol display portions 6 and 7, a liquid crystal type retaining ball display portion 8 (holding display means) is arranged. The reserved ball display unit 8 displays the quantity of lottery information stored in the reserved ball storage area of the RAM 24. In addition, the reservation ball display part 8 may comprise each segment with LED which can light-emit a plurality of colors. In the reserved ball display unit 8, the color can be changed according to the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the lottery information stored in the reserved ball storage area. The reserved ball display unit 8 may also be used as the display units 6 and 7. A first start winning opening 9 is provided at the lower center of the holding ball display portion 8. A second start winning opening 10 is provided on the right side between the reserved ball display portion 8 and the first starting winning opening 9. Below the first start winning opening 9, there are provided an attacker (large winning opening) 11 that is opened when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a big hit, and an out opening 12 for collecting balls.

  In the second start winning opening 10, an opening through which a ball can be won is arranged sideways (toward the side closer to the center). Accordingly, the second start winning opening 10 has a lower ball winning rate than the first starting winning opening 9 whose opening is upward.

  Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the game control device 20 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control device 20 is connected to a main board 21, a CPU 22 mounted on the main board 21, a ROM 23 storing a game program, a RAM 24, an input / output circuit (I / O) 25, and a control signal output from the CPU 22. The display control board 26, the sound control board 27, the lamp control board 28, the payout control board 29, the launch control board 30, and a power supply circuit 31 that supplies power to the game control apparatus 20 are configured.

  As a detection switch that outputs a detection signal when the passage of a ball is detected, a first start prize detector 32, a second start prize detector 33, and an attacker prize detector 34 are connected to the CPU 22 via the input / output circuit 25. Yes. An attacker opening solenoid 35 is connected to the CPU 22 via the input / output circuit 25. The attacker opening solenoid 35 is driven by a control signal from the CPU 22 to control the opening and closing of the attacker 11. A control signal from the CPU 22 is input to the display control board 26, and the display of the first symbol display unit 6, the second symbol display unit 7, and the reserved ball display unit 8 is controlled according to the control signal. Further, the audio control board 27 creates an audio signal, the audio signal is amplified, and the audio is output from the speaker 40. A control signal from the CPU 22 is input to the lamp control board 28, and a lamp 41 such as a decorative lamp is controlled in accordance with the control signal. Further, the payout control board 29 controls the payout device 42 for prize balls or balls according to the control signal. Similarly, the launch control board 30 controls the ball launcher 43.

  The CPU 22 (win / fail lottery means) has a function of performing a lottery to determine whether or not to win in accordance with winning in the first start winning opening 9 or the second starting winning opening 10. The RAM 24 (holding information storage means) displays the results of the lottery performed by the success / failure lottery means as first hold information when winning the first start winning opening 9 and as second hold information when winning the second start winning opening 10. It has a function to memorize. Then, the winning / losing lottery means extracts a random number for winning determination at the time of starting winning, and the RAM 24 stores the holding information with different hitting probabilities (corresponding to each jackpot random number to be referenced is adjusted) according to the type of the holding information. This is configured so that the jackpot determination is performed at the start of symbol variation.

  The CPU 22 (a jackpot generating means) generates a first jackpot when the first symbol display unit 6 displays a predetermined jackpot symbol based on the first hold information, and a second symbol display unit based on the second hold information. 7 has a function of generating a second jackpot when a predetermined jackpot symbol is displayed. The CPU 22 (holding information changing means) has a function of changing the first holding information to the second holding information when the holding ball display unit 8 shows a predetermined display mode. The CPU 22 (holding digestion delay means) holds the holding when the holding ball display unit 8 shows a display mode capable of showing a predetermined display mode based on displaying the next holding information. The first symbol display unit 6 and the second symbol display unit 7 based on the information have a function of delaying the start time of variable display.

  When the symbol variation based on winning in the first start winning port 9 and the second starting winning port 10 is put on hold, the change is put on hold every time it is put on the holding ball display unit 8 which is a common display area. In this embodiment, when winning and holding at the first start winning opening 9 (referred to as first holding information), the holding ball display unit 8 holds the display form with “blue circle” as a display form, while the second start winning opening In the case of winning a prize at 10 and holding it (referred to as second hold information), the display form is displayed with a “red circle” on hold. In the holding ball display unit 8, the display forms of the first and second holding information (blue circles and red circles) are displayed side by side in series. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the holding balls is set to four.

  Next, the jackpot lottery will be described. A first winning prize detector 32 or a second starting prize detector attached to the first starting prize port 9 or the second starting prize port 10 when a ball wins the first starting prize port 9 or the second starting prize port 10. When the ball is detected by 33, a winning detection signal is transmitted to the CPU 22. The CPU 22 acquires a random value (counter value) from the hit determination counter according to the timing when the winning detection signal is input to the CPU 22, and determines whether or not the hit determination random number matches the jackpot random number. A lottery is being drawn. In accordance with the determination result of the random number value, when the first start winning port 9 is won, the first symbol display unit 6 changes the symbol, while when the second start winning port 10 is won, the second symbol display unit. 7 is designed to perform symbol variation.

  In this embodiment, random numbers are extracted as follows when the first start winning opening 9 is won. The range of the counter value of the winning determination counter is “0 to 299”, the winning counter value is “7”, and the winning probability of the big winning lottery is set to “1/300”. On the other hand, when winning the second start winning opening 10, the counter value range is set to “0-299”, the winning counter value is set to “1-15”, and the winning probability of the big winning lottery is set to “1/20”. is doing.

  In the holding ball display unit 8, when there is a holding display of “blue circle”, the symbol variation held in the first symbol display unit 6 is changed, while when there is a holding display of “red circle” Then, the second symbol display unit 7 performs the symbol variation that is reserved.

  When a predetermined jackpot symbol (for example, “777”) is displayed on the first symbol display unit 6 or the second symbol display unit 7, a jackpot is generated.

  In the present embodiment, when the first start winning opening 9 or the second starting winning opening 10 is won and held, the display mode of the holding ball display portion 8 changes every time the hold is held. FIG. 3 shows an example of the transition of the display mode of the reserved ball display unit 8. First, when a prize is placed in the second start winning opening 10 and put on hold, a “red circle” is displayed (hold 1 is red). Next, when two consecutive winnings are made in the first start winning opening 9 and two are reserved, two “blue circles” are displayed (holding 2 and 3 are blue). Thereafter, when a prize is placed in the second start winning opening 10 and put on hold, a “red circle” is displayed (hold 4 is red). In the display mode at this time, the red hold display of the hold 1 and the hold 4 shows a display mode sandwiching the blue hold display of the hold 2 and the hold 3 in a manner similar to the Othello game. In the present embodiment, when such a specific display mode is shown, the sandwiched blue hold display changes to a red hold display. As a result, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the hold information is switched from the first hold information to the second hold information. That is, the winning random number to be referred is changed from the first hold information having a winning probability of “1/300” to the second hold information having a high winning probability of “1/20”.

  Next, a control flow is demonstrated according to the flowchart shown in FIGS. FIG. 7 shows the flow of the basic process. First, the first starting port (first starting winning port) winning process is executed (S1), and then the second starting port (second starting winning port) winning process is executed ( Subsequently, the first symbol display part variation process (S3) and the second symbol display part variation process (S4) are executed, and then the jackpot process is executed (S5). Hereinafter, the first start opening winning process will be described in order.

  FIG. 8 shows a flow of the first start opening winning process. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the first start winning opening 9 (S11). If there is no winning, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a winning, it is determined whether or not the number of holds is “4” (S12). ). If the number of holds is “4”, the process returns, while if it does not reach “4”, a random number for hit determination is acquired (S13). When winning the first start winning opening 9, random number extraction is performed with a winning probability of “1/300”, and the high probability flag of the acquired random number is “0” (S14). Subsequently, the number of holds in the hold ball display unit 8 is incremented by “1” (S15), and when the high probability flag is “0” (hold information whose high probability flag is “0” is referred to as first hold information). ) Indicates the hold display with a “blue circle”.

  FIG. 9 shows a flow of the second start opening winning process. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the second start winning opening 10 (S21). If there is no winning, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a winning, it is determined whether or not the number of holds is “4” (S22). ). If the number of holds is “4”, the process returns, while if it does not reach “4”, a random number for hit determination is acquired (S23). At the time of winning the second start winning opening 10, random number extraction is performed with a winning probability of “1/20”, and the high probability flag of the obtained random number is “1” (S24). Subsequently, the number of holds in the hold ball display unit 8 is incremented by “1” (S25), and when the high probability flag is “1” (hold information whose high probability flag is “1” is referred to as second hold information). ) Indicates the hold display with a “red circle”. Next, it is determined whether or not the number of holds is “3” (S26). If the number of holds is not “3”, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is “3”, random number change processing is executed (S27). In this embodiment, when the number of holds is “3” or more and the hold display shows a predetermined display mode, a process of changing the random number is executed.

  FIG. 10 shows a flow of random number change processing. In the holding ball display unit 8, when the number of holdings is “3” or more, the holding second in the order of the holding balls (the order in which they are held) (hereinafter referred to as “holding 2”, the first holding and the third holding) It is determined whether or not the high probability flag (similarly expressed) is “0” (S31). If the high probability flag is “0” (when the hold display is a blue circle), the high probability of hold 1 is determined. It is determined whether or not the probability flag is “1” (S32). If the high probability flag is not “1”, the process returns. On the other hand, if the high probability flag is “1” (the hold display is a red circle), whether or not the high probability flag of hold 3 is “0”. Is determined (S33).

  When the high probability flag is not “0” (when the hold display is a red circle), the hold 1 (red circle) and the hold 3 (red circle) are held 2 ( A display mode sandwiching a blue circle) is shown. At this time, the high probability flag of the hold 2 is changed to “1” (the hold display is changed to a red circle). That is, the hold 2 is changed from the first hold information to the second hold information having a high winning probability (S36).

  In step S33, if the high probability flag for hold 3 is “0” (the hold display is a blue circle), it is determined whether or not the high probability flag for hold 4 is “1” (S34). . When the high probability flag is not “1”, the process returns. On the other hand, when the high probability flag is “1” (when the hold display is a red circle), the hold 1 (red) A circle and a hold 4 (red circle) indicate a display mode sandwiching the hold 2 (blue circle) and the hold 3 (blue circle). At this time, the high probability flag of hold 3 is changed to “1” (the hold display is changed to a red circle), and the high probability flag of hold 2 is changed to “1” (the hold display is changed to a red circle) To do). That is, hold 2 and hold 3 are changed from the first hold information to the second hold information having a high winning probability (S35, S36). FIG. 3 shows the display mode, and all of the hold 1 to the hold 4 are displayed in red.

  Returning to step S31, if the high probability flag of the hold 2 is not “0”, it is determined whether or not the high probability flag of the hold 3 is “0”. If the high probability flag is not “0”, the process returns. If the high probability flag is “0” (the hold display is a blue circle), it is determined whether or not the high probability flag of hold 4 is “1” (S38). When the high probability flag is not “1”, the process returns. On the other hand, when the high probability flag is “1” (the hold display is a red circle), the hold 2 (red) Circles) and hold 4 (red circles) indicate display modes sandwiching hold 3 (blue circles). At this time, the high probability flag of the hold 3 is changed to “1” (the hold display is changed to a red circle). The hold 3 is changed from the first hold information to the second hold information having a high winning probability (S39).

  FIG. 11 shows a flow of the first symbol display unit variation process. In the present embodiment, the jackpot flag is shared in the symbol variation processing of the first symbol display unit 6 and the second symbol display unit 7. It is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “0” (S41). If it is not “0” (when the jackpot is “1”), it is determined whether or not the symbol is changing (S50). If the symbol is not changing, the process returns. On the other hand, if the symbol is changing, the symbol change is interrupted (S51) and the symbol change timer 1 (the timer for counting the symbol change time of the first symbol display unit 6) is interrupted. (S52). In other words, when the big symbol is won in the second symbol display unit 7, if the symbol is changing in the first symbol display unit 6, it is interrupted.

  If the jackpot flag is “0” in step S41, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation is suspended (the symbol variation is suspended by S51) (S42). If the symbol variation is suspended, the symbol variation is resumed (S53). ) And the operation of the symbol variation timer 1 is resumed (S54), and then the process proceeds to step S55. If the symbol variation is not interrupted in step S42, it is determined whether or not the symbol is stopped (S43). If not stopped, the process proceeds to step S55. If not stopped, the high probability flag is “0”. It is determined whether or not there is a certain holding ball (S44). If there is no holding ball with a high probability flag of “0”, the process returns. If there is a holding ball, the corresponding holding is decremented by “1” (S45). In the first symbol display unit 6, symbol variation is executed based on the holding information (first holding information) of the holding ball whose high probability flag is “0” (the holding display is a blue circle).

  In the hold information, it is determined whether or not the hit determination random number matches the jackpot random number (S46), and in the case of a loss, the symbol variation that stops the symbol at the loss symbol is started (S49). Start (S48). In the case of winning in step S46, the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the jackpot symbol is started (S47), and the symbol variation timer 1 is started (S48).

  It is determined whether or not the symbol variation timer 1 has timed up (S55). If the time has not expired, the process returns. On the other hand, if the time has expired, symbol variation is stopped (S56). It is determined whether or not the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol (S57). If the symbol is not a jackpot symbol, the process returns. On the other hand, if the symbol is a jackpot symbol, a jackpot flag is set (set to “1”).

  Next, FIG. 12 shows the flow of a 2nd symbol display part fluctuation | variation process. The variation process of the second symbol display unit 7 is substantially the same as the variation process of the first symbol display unit 6 described above, and different points will be mainly described. During the symbol variation of the second symbol display unit 7, if a big hit is made in the first symbol display unit 6, the symbol variation is interrupted (S 71) and the symbol variation timer 2 (the symbol of the second symbol display unit 7 is displayed). The timer for counting the fluctuation time is interrupted (S72). When the jackpot flag is “0”, the symbol variation is resumed (S73) and the symbol variation timer 2 is resumed when the symbol variation is suspended in the second symbol display unit 7 (the symbol variation is suspended by S71). (S74).

  Then, the second symbol display unit 7 determines whether or not there is a holding ball whose high probability flag is “1” (S64), and the high probability flag is “1” (the holding display is indicated by a red circle). ) When there is a holding ball, the symbol variation is executed based on the holding information (second holding information). The symbol variation timer 2 is started (S68), and it is determined whether or not the symbol variation timer 2 is timed up (S75). When the time is up, the symbol variation is stopped (S76), and the stopped symbol is a jackpot symbol. (S77), if it is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot flag is set to "1" (S78).

  FIG. 13 shows a flow of jackpot processing. It is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “1” (S81). When the jackpot flag is not “1”, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is “1”, it is determined whether or not the attacker 11 is closed. (S82). If the attacker 11 is not closed, the process proceeds to step S84. If the attacker 11 is closed, the attacker 11 is released (S83), and then it is determined whether or not the attacker 11 has won a prize (S84).

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of rounds is set to 15 rounds, and the maximum possible number of winners for one round of the attacker 11 is set to “10”. The number of winnings to the attacker 11 is counted by an attacker winning number counter. If there is no winning to the attacker 11, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a winning, the number of winning is incremented by “1” (S85). It is determined whether or not the number of winnings of the attacker 11 has reached “10” which is the maximum possible winning number (S86). If not, the process returns. On the other hand, if it reaches “10”, the attacker 11 is closed. Along with (S87), the winning number counter of the attacker 11 is reset to “0” (S88), and the round number is incremented by “1” (S89). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds has reached “15” which is the maximum number of rounds (S90). If not, the process returns. On the other hand, if it has reached “15”, the jackpot flag is set to “0”. (S91).

  In this way, when a lottery with different winning probabilities is performed depending on the winning at the first starting winning port 9 and the winning at the second starting winning port 10, and the symbol variation based on the winning is suspended, the first starting winning port The RAM 24 stores two types of hold information, ie, hold of a prize to 9 (first hold information) and hold of a prize to the second start winning opening 10 (second hold information), and these first and second holds. The information is configured to be displayed on the common holding ball display unit 8. The hold information is changed when the display mode of the hold ball display unit 8 is a predetermined display mode, and the “red circle” of the second hold information indicates the state sandwiching the “blue circle” of the first hold information. I try to do it. Therefore, in the hold display, in addition to the display of increase / decrease of the hold information, the player pays attention to the trend of the display mode itself, the hold information is switched according to the display mode, and the hold information with a low hit probability is the hit probability. It is possible to improve the gameability by changing the amount of balls that the player acquires in place of high holding information.

  Although the first symbol display unit 6 and the second symbol display unit 7 have different jackpot probabilities, the jackpot probabilities may be the same, and the hit conditions executed when the jackpot may be different. As a winning condition, for example, when a jackpot symbol is displayed on the first symbol display unit 6 (first jackpot), the maximum number of rounds is five rounds, and when a jackpot symbol is displayed on the second symbol display unit 7 (second jackpot) ) Can have a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds. In this case, the hold information that generates a big hit with a maximum round number of 5 rounds is the first hold information, and the hold information that generates a big hit with a maximum round number of 15 rounds is the second hold information. be able to. In addition, as another winning condition, for example, when a big win is obtained in the second symbol display unit 7 (second big hit), a special state such as a probability variation state or a short time state is generated, while the first symbol display unit When a big hit is made in 6 (first big hit), a special state may not be generated. Furthermore, each modification may be combined, or all modifications may be combined.

  Moreover, in order to make the winning ratios of the first and second start winning ports 9, 10 different, the opening portion of the second starting winning port 10 is set sideways. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning rate may be changed by adjusting the nail around the start winning opening, the arrangement of the nail provided in the opening of the starting winning opening, or the number of nails. In addition, the winning rate can be adjusted by using a structure like an electric tulip that can be won only when it is opened due to winning a separate starting gate, or by simply increasing the opening of the starting winning opening. May be. Furthermore, you may change a winning rate by arrange | positioning a start winning opening up and down. The winning percentages of the first start winning opening 9 and the second starting winning opening 10 may be the same (if the second start winning opening 10 is aimed, the first start winning opening 9 may be won). The present invention is applicable).

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, the first and second start winning holes are collectively used as a role such as a rotating body and a croon. You may make it vary the winning rate of a winning opening. FIG. 5 is a front view of the sorting game, and it is desirable that this sorting game is provided almost at the lower center of the game board (position around the first start winning opening 9 in FIG. 1). In FIG. 5, the distribution combination 50 includes a plurality of (for example, eight) first ball receiving portions 53 that can communicate with the first start winning port 51 and a plurality (for example, two) that can communicate with the second start winning port 52. ) And a second ball receiving portion 54. The ball that has won a prize through the winning opening 56 for the accessory 50 is distributed to either the first ball receiving portion 53 or the second ball receiving portion 54, and the second ball receiving portion 54 having a small number of receiving portions. The second start winning port 52 communicated with the first start winning port 51 communicated with the first ball receiving unit 53 having a larger number of receiving units than the second ball receiving unit has a lower winning rate.

  FIG. 6 is a plan view of the croon, and this croon may be provided almost at the center lower side of the game board (position around the first start winning opening 9 in FIG. 1). In FIG. 6, a croon 60 has a plurality of (for example, two) first start winning ports 62 and one second start winning port 63 at the center of a mortar-shaped croon body 61, and the like from the center of the mortar. Arranged at a distance position. The ball that has won a prize in the croon from the prize opening 64 to the croon 60 is swung by the momentum of winning the crone's mortar surface. Win a prize. The second start winning opening 63 with one winning opening has a lower winning rate than the first starting winning opening 62 with two winning openings.

(Example 2)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, two symbol display units and two start winning ports are provided. In the second embodiment, an example in which one symbol display unit and one start winning port are configured is shown. When there is only one symbol display section, symbol variation is performed in the order in which the symbols are held. In addition, when there is only one start prize opening, when winning at the start prize opening, a lottery for whether to extract the jackpot random number with a low probability (low win probability) or a high probability (high win probability) It is decided by (probability change lottery).

  The control flow of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 14 shows the flow of the basic process. First, the start opening winning process is executed (S101), then the symbol display unit variation process (S102) is executed, and then the jackpot process is executed (S103). Hereinafter, the starting opening prize process will be described in order.

  FIG. 15 shows the flow of the start opening winning process. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the start winning opening (S111). If there is no winning, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a winning, it is determined whether or not the number of holds has reached “4” (S112). . When the number of holds does not reach “4”, a random number for hit determination is acquired (S113), and a probability change random number is also acquired (S114).

  In this embodiment, random numbers are extracted in the probability changing lottery as follows. The range of the counter value of the winning determination counter is “0 to 19”, the winning counter value is “7”, and the winning probability of the probability changing lottery is set to “1/20”. It is determined whether or not the probability change random number is a win (S115). If the probability change random number is a win, the high probability flag of the acquired jackpot random number is set to “1” (S116), and the pending number is incremented by “1” (S116). S117). On the other hand, if the probability change random number is lost, the high probability flag is set to “0” (S118), and the number of holds is incremented by “1” (S117). That is, when winning the probability change lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is set to a high winning probability, for example, 1/20, while when the probability changing lottery is lost, the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is low, for example, a winning probability of 1/300. Is done. The hold information whose high probability flag is “0” is the first hold information, and the hold information whose high probability flag is “1” is the second hold information.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the number of holdings is “3” (S119). If the number of holdings is not “3”, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is “3”, random number change processing is executed (S120). In this embodiment, when the number of holds is “3” or more and the hold display shows a predetermined display mode, a process of changing the random number is executed. The random number changing process is the same as the flow shown in FIG.

  FIG. 16 shows a flow of the symbol display unit variation process. It is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “0” (S121). When the jackpot flag is not “0”, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is “0”, it is determined whether or not the symbol is stopped ( S122). When the symbol is not stopped, the process proceeds to step S129, while when the symbol is stopped, it is determined whether or not the big hit random number is held (S123). If there is no hold, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a hold, the number of holds is decremented by “1” (S125), and it is determined whether or not the hit determination random number matches the jackpot random number (whether it is a win or not). S125). Here, in the case of winning, the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the jackpot symbol is started (S126), and the symbol variation timer is started (S127). On the other hand, in the case of the loss, the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the loss symbol is started ( S128), the symbol variation timer is started (S127).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation timer has timed up (S129). If the time has not expired, the process returns. On the other hand, if the time has expired, symbol variation is stopped (S130), and the stopped symbol is a jackpot symbol. It is determined whether or not there is (S131). Here, if it is not a jackpot symbol, the process returns. On the other hand, if it is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot flag is set to “1”. After that, jackpot processing is executed. The jackpot processing is the same as the flow shown in FIG.

In addition, you may add the following deformation | transformation to a present Example.
(1) In the embodiment, in the display mode of the hold display, when the “red circle mark” indicates a display mode including the “blue circle mark”, the “blue circle mark” is changed to the “red circle mark” hold display. On the contrary, when “blue circle” shows a display mode with “red circle” sandwiched, “red circle” is changed to “blue-red circle” hold display. It may be. Moreover, you may combine both.
(2) In the display mode of the hold display, not only when it is sandwiched, but when, for example, as shown in FIG. You may make it change to. In FIG. 4, when there are two “blue circles” hold indications and “red circles” continue next, the two “blue circles” hold indications are changed to “red circles”. It shows that.

(3) In order to change the pending jackpot probability, the hit value to be referred to is changed according to the change of the high probability flag. It is good also as a structure which acquires again, and the random number which acquires one by one from two tables of a high probability and a low probability for every winning, and changes the random number made effective by a high probability flag may be changed.
(4) The number of balls to be held is up to 4, but any number may be used as long as it is 3 or more.

(5) In order to actively utilize a state in which the display mode of the hold display may be in a specific state, the following configuration may be used. Depending on the display mode (how to arrange the hold display of the first hold information and the hold display of the second hold information) based on the next hold information being held, one of the first or second hold information sandwiches the other For example, when the hold 1 is “red circle” and the hold 2 is “blue circle”, the current state is set so that the symbol variation does not start until the hold 4 is turned on. You may provide the reservation digestion delay means which delays the reservation digestion of the pending | holding unsettled reservation information or the next reservation digestion. In that case, the immediately preceding symbol variation time may be lengthened, or an effect image or the like may be displayed after the immediately preceding symbol variation is confirmed.

(6) When the hold display is changed, a privilege may be given to the player. Benefits include, for example, an increase in the number of balls at the time of jackpot, an increase in the jackpot probability, or the occurrence of a probability fluctuation state after the jackpot ends. Further, as a privilege, a high probability flag may be attached to the symbol variation that has won the first start winning opening 9 until a predetermined number of winnings are won.
(7) In Example 1, when the other symbol variation becomes a big hit during the one symbol variation, the one symbol variation is interrupted. Alternatively, two attackers may be used to execute the jackpot process.
(8) Although the change of the hold display is always performed, it is not changed in the normal state, but only in the special game state, or only when there are four hold displays (in the embodiment, it is performed with three) However, even if it is sandwiched, it is not performed unless there are four holds.)
