It is established when winning from the blades determined by .

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, during the round when the jackpot is generated, it is possible to determine whether to drive the first accessory or the second accessory in the next round. As a result, it is possible to change the fixed appearance at the time of the big hit, compared with the conventional case, the game characteristics of the first and second actors are intertwined closely, and the range of the game characteristics is widened. , Can enhance interest.

(First embodiment)
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a front appearance of a pachinko machine, and FIG. 2 shows a center role on the board. In these FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a configuration in which the pachinko balls in the upper plate 2 are fired onto the board surface 4 by an electric launcher (only the operation dial is indicated by reference numeral 3). Yes. The board surface 4 is provided with an out port 5, a start winning port 6, a large winning port 7, and a composite accessory 8, as well as a normal winning port (not shown). As shown in FIG. 5, the large prize winning opening 7 has a rectangular shape, and is equipped with an electric accessory 7 a generally called an attacker so that it can be opened and closed. Has a 1-type V prize opening 7b and a 1-type normal prize-winning opening 7c at the other end, and between the 1-type V prize-winning opening 7b and the 1-type normal prize-winning opening 7c, a pachinko that has won a large prize-winning opening 7 A seesaw-type accessory 7d is provided to facilitate guiding the ball to either the first-type V winning port 7b or the first-type normal winning port 7c.

The compound combination 8 has the function of the one-type pachinko gaming machine (so-called seven machine) in the center role (equivalent to the second combination) 9 for realizing the function of the two-type pachinko gaming machine (so-called honey). A liquid crystal display unit (corresponding to a first accessory) 10 for realizing is arranged.
In this case, the center accessory 9 includes a pair of blades 9b arranged so as to close the winning area in the normal time on both the left and right sides of the frame-shaped portion 9a that surrounds the winning area. When is expanded on both sides, the pachinko ball can be won in the winning area. Further, the bottom of the winning area is divided into a two-type V prize opening 9c formed in the center and a lose prize-winning hole 9d occupying a portion other than the two-type V prize opening 9c. In the winning area, a plurality of studs 9e are erected to make the pachinko ball passage route uncertain. Further, a warp route inlet 9f is provided at a portion corresponding to the base end portion of the blade 9b in the center accessory 9, and as shown in FIG. 3, a pachinko ball is inserted into the warp route inlet 9f with the expansion of the blade 9b. When is entered, a pachinko ball is discharged from the warp route exit 9g to the center of the winning area.

  On the other hand, the liquid crystal display unit 10 is for displaying the result of a lottery operation with a predetermined probability performed in response to the winning of a pachinko ball in the start winning opening 6, and in FIG. 2, a roulette composed of a three-digit number string. An example of displaying is shown. That is, the liquid crystal display unit 10 displays the roulette change display according to the winning of the pachinko ball at the start winning opening 6 (in this embodiment, the change in the range of “0” to “9” of each digit of the numeric string). Display), and when the result of the lottery operation is a big win, it will be a rounded symbol pattern (a big win symbol) such as a numeric string “111”, “222”,. To be controlled.

  As described above, the state in which the gaze symbol is displayed corresponds to a state in which the jackpot condition is satisfied. The state where the jackpot condition is satisfied is a type 1 round in which the electric accessory 7a (attacker) of the large winning opening 7 is opened for a predetermined period in a predetermined mode, and the blade 9b is relatively long. Either one of the two types of rounds, which is a period of time that is expanded by a predetermined number of times, is driven to make one round, and the first type V winning port 7b or the second type V winning port 9c is won during the predetermined round Thus, the continuation to the next round is determined, and it is composed of a maximum of 15 rounds. Accordingly, a big win state in which the winning rate to the large winning opening 7 or the winning area is increased is exhibited.

  FIG. 4 shows the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by a combination of functional blocks. In FIG. 4, the start winning switch 11 generates a detection pulse when a pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 6. The type 1 V winning switch 12 generates a detection pulse when a pachinko ball wins the type 1 V winning port 7b. The big winning opening switch 13 generates a detection pulse when a pachinko ball wins the one kind of normal winning opening 7c. The type 2 V winning switch 14 generates a detection pulse when a pachinko ball wins the type 2 V winning port 9c. The lose winning switch 15 generates a detection pulse when a pachinko ball wins the lost winning opening 9d. The center prize winning switch 16 generates a detection pulse when the pachinko ball passes through the warp route.

  The main board 17 constitutes a microcomputer together with a CPU 18, a ROM 19 storing a control program, a RAM 20 for a working area, an I / O 21, etc. The CPU 18 includes a start winning switch 11, a 1st class V winning switch 12, Each detection pulse from the 1 type normal winning switch 13, 2 type V winning switch 14, lose winning switch 15, and center prize winning switch 16 is input through the I / O 21. The CPU 18 also has a blade opening solenoid 22 for opening and closing the blades 9b, a type 1 large prize opening solenoid 23 for opening the large prize opening 7, and a seesaw type solenoid 24 for driving a seesaw type accessory in the large prize opening 7. Is controlled through the I / O 22.

  Further, the CPU 18 controls the display control board 25 that controls the display content of the liquid crystal display unit 10, the voice control board 27 that controls the notification operation through the speaker 26 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the pachinko ball payout device 28. Control signals are output to the payout control board 29, the launch control board 31 that controls the pachinko ball launcher 30, and the decoration control board 33 that controls the lighting of the lamp 32. Note that the reset circuit 34 outputs a reset signal at a constant cycle to the CPU 18 for initialization, thereby preventing malfunction due to noise or the like.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a function of outputting each signal described below to the outside.
That is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to output an out ball signal indicating the number of pachinko balls to be driven and a safe ball signal indicating the number of pachinko balls paid out as prize balls. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to output a start signal each time the symbol variation operation is performed by the liquid crystal display unit 10, and further configured to output a jackpot signal during the jackpot period.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 16 showing the operation of the CPU 18 of the pachinko gaming machine 1.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing operations related to the present invention among the main operations of the CPU 18 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In FIG. 7, the CPU 18 repeatedly executes the start winning process (S1) and the symbol variation process (S2). In this case, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, each process is shown serially, but the CPU 18 executes each process in parallel. In addition, each process mentioned later is also performed in parallel.

Now, when a pachinko ball driven into the board surface 4 by a game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 by a player wins the start winning opening 6, the start winning switch 11 is turned on and a winning process related to one kind of big hit is performed.
FIG. 8 shows the start winning process by the CPU 18. In FIG. 8, when the start winning switch 11 is turned on (S101: YES), the CPU 18 confirms that the number of reservations (so-called “seven machine hold”) is not “4” (S102: NO), then holds. The number is incremented (S103), and a random value is acquired according to the random number table. The acquired random value is stored in association with the reserved ball (S104), and the start winning process is terminated by returning.

  FIG. 9 shows symbol variation processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 9, the CPU 18 confirms that it is not a big hit (S201: NO), confirms that the display symbol by the liquid crystal display unit 10 is stopped (S202: YES), and further, the number of one type of hold Is confirmed to be non-zero (S203: NO), the type 1 hold number is decremented (S204), and it is determined whether the corresponding random number is a big hit random number based on the random number table (S205). In this case, since the probability that the corresponding random number is a jackpot random number is extremely low, the acquired random number is rarely a jackpot random number. Therefore, when the corresponding random number is different from the jackpot random number (S205: NO), the CPU 18 starts the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the lost symbol (S212), starts the symbol variation timer (S207), and the symbol variation timer. When the time is up (S208: YES), the symbol variation is stopped (S209), and it is determined whether the stopped symbol is a jackpot symbol (S210). At this time, since the stop symbol is a lost symbol (S210: NO), the symbol variation process is terminated by returning without doing anything.

  On the other hand, when the current corresponding random number is a jackpot random number (S205: YES), the CPU 18 starts the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the jackpot symbol (S206) and stops with the jackpot symbol (S209). . Then, since the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol (S210: YES), the CPU 18 executes a jackpot process (S211). At this time, the player can confirm that the jackpot has been established because the symbol stopped due to the symbol variation is the jackpot symbol.

  FIG. 10 shows the jackpot processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 10, the CPU 18 first sets the privilege flag to “1” (S301). This privilege flag is a flag for determining whether to execute the first round or the second round. In this case, the flag is forcibly established in step S301. In other cases, the flag is established when an acquired privilege random number, which will be described later, is won. Therefore, CPU18 confirms that a privilege flag is 1 (S302: YES), and transfers to 1 type round processing (S303).

  FIG. 11 shows one type of round processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 11, the CPU 18 opens the large prize opening 7 (S401), starts a large prize opening timer (S402), and tilts the seesaw-type accessory 7d toward the first-type V prize opening 7b (S403: NO). In this embodiment, since the next round to be executed is determined by lottery in response to the V winning as described later, the V winning is surely performed during the round.

  Then, the CPU 18 confirms the winning to the large winning opening 7 which is a prize to either the 1st class V winning opening 7b or the 1st regular winning opening 7c before the large winning opening 7 timer expires (S412). In the case (S404: YES), the number of winnings is incremented (S405), it is confirmed that the number of rounds is not the final round of 15 (S406: NO), and it is determined whether the round update flag is “0” (S407). ). This round update flag is a flag for continuing to the next round, and is set to “1” by winning V. In this case, since the round update flag remains reset to “0”, the CPU 18 determines that the round update flag has been reset (S407: YES), and determines whether or not the winning confirmed in step S404 is a type 1 V winning. Is determined (S408). Here, when the winning confirmed in step S404 is not the 1st class V winning (S408: NO), until the number of winning reaches 10 (S410: YES), or until the big winning timer expires (S412: YES) Although it is determined whether or not the V-winning for the first-type V winning opening 7b is made (S408), and the V winning is not confirmed (S410: YES or S412: YES), the large winning opening 7 is closed (S411) and the process returns. To finish the first round. However, in this case, since the seesaw-type accessory 7d is inclined to the 1st class V winning opening 7b side, the pachinko ball that has won the large winning opening 7 wins the 1st class V winning slot 7b with a high probability. Therefore, when the V prize is won toward the 1st class V prize opening 7b, the CPU 18 determines that the 1st class V prize is received (S408: YES), and shifts to the 1st class V prize process (S409).

  FIG. 12 shows the type 1 V winning process by the CPU 18. In FIG. 12, CPU18 acquires a privilege random number (S501), and judges whether the acquired privilege random number is an even number (S502). This privilege random number is a random number in which odd numbers and even numbers are each formed at the same ratio. Here, when the acquired privilege random number is an even number, that is, when the acquired privilege random number is lost (S502: YES), the CPU 18 resets the privilege flag set to “1” (S503), and also acquires it. If the bonus random number is an odd number, that is, if the acquired bonus random number is a hit (S502: NO), the processing is continued without resetting the privilege flag set to “1”.

Therefore, when there is a prize at the 1st class V winning opening 7b that decides to continue to the next round during one kind of round, a sorting lottery regarding the privilege flag is performed, and the next round according to the sorting lottery result Whether or not the round processing to be performed in step 1 is one or two is determined, and such an operation is a characteristic part related to the present invention.
Subsequently, after setting the round update flag to “1” (S504), the seesaw type accessory 7d is tilted toward the one-type normal winning opening 7c (S505), and the process returns to the one-type round process. Here, by tilting the seesaw-type accessory 7d toward the one-type normal prize opening 7c, the pachinko ball that has won the large prize-winning slot 7 can easily win the one-type normal prize opening 7c.

  Then, in the type 1 round process of FIG. 11, when the CPU 18 completes the type 1 V winning process as described above (S409), the number of winnings to the type 1 V winning port 7b or the type 1 normal winning port 7c The large winning opening 7 is kept open until the number of winnings at the large winning opening becomes 10 (S410) or until the large winning opening timer expires (S412). Then, if it is confirmed whether the number of winnings at the large winning opening becomes 10 (S410: YES) or if it is confirmed whether the large winning opening timer is up (S412: YES), the large winning opening 7 is closed. Then (S411), the type 1 round process is terminated by returning.

  In the jackpot process by the CPU 18 shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 18 checks whether the round update flag is 1 (S304). In this case, since the round update flag is set to “1”, the CPU 18 determines that the round update flag is “1” (S304: YES), increments the number of rounds (S306), and updates the round. After the flag is reset (S307), the privilege flag set in the previous round is determined (S302). Here, for ease of comparison with the conventional example, it is assumed that, for example, the privilege random number is an odd number, that is, the privilege random number is a hit during the one-type round process, and the privilege flag continues to be “1”.

  With the above-described operation, the CPU 18 repeatedly executes one type of round every time V is won in the one type round process as described above, and the number of rounds reaches 15 which is the final round (S406: YES), even if the 1st class V prize opening 7b is won, in order not to determine whether the 1st class V prize is won or not, whether the number of winnings will be 10 (S410: YES) or the large prize opening timer has timed out (S412: YES), the round update flag is not set to “1” and the process returns to complete the type 1 round process. Therefore, when a jackpot occurs, the player has a risk of puncturing because the probability of winning a V for continuing to the next round is increased by the seesaw-type accessory 7d in the type 1 round process. Less (doesn't continue when the big hit, the jackpot ends with less than 15 rounds). Since 15 wins will be awarded for each win, a stable number of winning balls will be obtained in a short time. can do.

  Here, during the jackpot, a message indicating that the jackpot is being displayed is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 10 as shown in FIG. 6, and in addition to the reserved ball display unit 10a, the current round number display unit is displayed. Since 10b and the round winning number display part 10c are displayed, the player can confirm the progress state of 1 type big hit.

  By the way, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment basically executes the operation of the one-type pachinko gaming machine as described above, but since it is less interesting, the two-type pachinko gaming machine is as follows. It was designed to enhance the interest by combining the movements as.

That is, when the privilege random number is acquired in the type 1 V winning process shown in FIG. 12 (S501), if the privilege random number is an even number, that is, the privilege random number is lost (S502: YES), the privilege flag Is reset (S503), and processing is continued. Thus, the probability that the privilege random number is lost is 50%.
When the bonus flag is not “1” in the jackpot process shown in FIG. 10 (S302: NO), the CPU 18 proceeds to the two-round process (S305).

FIG. 13 shows two types of round processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 13, the CPU 18 performs parallel processing of the jackpot hour blade opening process and the two types of winning process shown in the serial operation (S601, S602).
FIG. 14 shows the big hitting blade opening process by the CPU 18. In FIG. 14, the CPU 18 opens the blade 9b for 1 second (S701), closes the blade 9b for 1 second (S702), increments the number of releases (S703), and the release end flag is not “1”. After confirming this (S704: NO), such an operation is repeated. The opening end flag is a flag indicating that the opening / closing of the blade 9b is stopped.

As a result of the above operation, the blades 9b are opened and closed continuously, so that the pachinko balls driven into the board surface 4 are continuously guided by the blades 9b and won in the center accessory 9, and a winning switch in the center accessory 16 comes to turn on.
FIG. 15 shows the two types of winning process by the CPU 18. In FIG. 15, when the pachinko ball is won in the center accessory 9 (S801: YES), the CPU 18 increments the winning number (S802) and confirms that the number of rounds is not the final round of 15 times. (S803: NO), whether or not to win the 2nd class V prize opening 9c (S804), whether the number of winnings to the center accessory 9 has become 10 (S807), or the number of opening of the blade 9b has become 18 times (S808) is monitored. In this case, since the probability of winning the V prize opening 9c is low, the number of prizes is set each time the center prize 9 is won (S801: YES) in the state where the V winning opening 9c is not won, as described above. Increment (S802).

Then, by the continuous opening and closing of the blade 9b by the big hitting blade opening process shown in FIG. 14, the number of winnings to the center accessory 9 is 10 times (S807: YES), or the number of opening of the blade 9b is 18 times. If this is the case (S808: YES), the release end flag is set to “1” (S806), and the two-type winning process is ended by returning.
Then, since the opening / closing end flag becomes “1” in the big hitting blade opening process shown in FIG. 14 (S704: YES), the CPU 18 ends the big hitting blade opening process by returning. As a result, the opening and closing of the blade 9b is stopped, and the winning for the center accessory 9 ends. That is, the continuous opening and closing of the blades 9b by the two types of big hits ends when the number of opened blades 9b reaches 18 times in the state where there is no winning to the two types V winning port 9c, or the winning in the center bonus item 9 This is when the number reaches ten.

In the jackpot process shown in FIG. 10, when the two-type round process is executed as described above (S305), the CPU 18 checks whether the round update flag is “1” (S304). In this case, since the round update flag remains reset, it is determined that it is not “1” (S304: NO), and the jackpot process is terminated by returning.
With the above operation, the jackpot processing is completed in the current round, and the player can acquire award balls that have been paid out by the current round.

  On the other hand, in the two-type winning process shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 18 determines whether the pachinko ball guided in the center accessory 9 will receive 10 prizes for the center accessory 9 (S807: YES), or the blade 9b. When the number of open is reached 18 (S808: YES), when the 2nd class V winning opening 9c has been awarded 2nd class V (S804: YES), the process proceeds to the 2nd class V winning process (S805).

  FIG. 16 shows the two-type V winning process by the CPU 18. In FIG. 16, the CPU 18 acquires a privilege random number (S901) and determines whether the acquired privilege random number is an odd number (S902). Here, when the acquired privilege random number is an odd number, that is, when the acquired privilege random number is a hit (S902: YES), the CPU 18 sets the reset privilege flag to “1” (S903), and also acquires it. If the privilege random number is an even number, that is, the acquired privilege random number is lost (S902: NO), the reset privilege flag is not set to “1” and the process is continued.

Therefore, when there is a winning at the 2nd V winning opening 9c that decides to continue to the next round during the 2nd round, a sorting lottery regarding the privilege flag is performed, and the next round according to the sorting lottery result The round processing to be performed is determined to be one type or two types.
Subsequently, the round update flag is set to “1” (S904), and by returning, the type 2 V winning process is terminated.

  In the two-type winning process shown in FIG. 15, when the two-type V winning process is completed as described above (S805), the CPU 18 sets the release end flag to “1” (S806), and returns. The two-type winning process ends. Accordingly, the CPU 18 ends the big hitting blade opening process shown in FIG. 14, so that the opening and closing of the blade 9 b is stopped and the winning of the center accessory 9 is ended.

  Then, in the jackpot process shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 18 checks whether the round update flag is “1” (S304). In this case, since the round update flag is set to “1”, the CPU 18 determines that the round update flag is “1” (S304: YES), increments the number of rounds (S306), and updates the round. The flag is reset (S307), and the next round process is executed according to the privilege flag.

  With the above operation, when the privilege flag is 0, that is, when it is lost in the first two rounds that have shifted from the first round, the second round process is performed for the second round. In the two-type winning process shown, the two-type V prize is not won (S804: NO), or the number of winnings in the center accessory 9 is 10 times (S807: YES), or the number of open blades 9b is 18 times. If this is the case (S808: YES), the release end flag is set to “1” (S806), and the two-type winning process is ended by returning. On the other hand, in the second two-round process, when the second type V is won until the number of winnings in the blade 9b is 10 times or the number of opened blades 9b is 18 (S804). : YES) By shifting to the two-type V winning process (S805), the round update flag is set to 1 (S904), and the next round is executed according to the privilege random number.

  Then, every time the CPU 18 wins V during the two-round process as described above, the two-round process is repeatedly executed as long as the bonus random number is an odd number, but the number of rounds is 15 times. Then (S803: YES), in order not to determine whether or not to win the 2nd class V prize opening 9c, is the number of winnings 10 (S807: YES), or when the number of open is 18 (S808: YES) Even if the 2nd class V prize opening 9c has been won, the round update flag is not set to "1", the release end flag is set to "1" (S806), and the 2nd prize process is performed by returning. Exit. Therefore, even if the player shifts from the type 1 big win to the type 2 big win, the player can obtain more prize balls as the number of rounds increases.

  However, in the type 2 round process, the probability of winning the 2nd class V winning opening 9c is set lower than the rate of winning the 1st class V winning opening, so there is a high risk of puncture. On the other hand, 10 prize balls are awarded (15 prize balls for one prize in the case of one type of round), and the winning rate into the center bonus 9 is higher than the winning rate at the large winning opening 7. Since it is low, the number of wasted balls increases, and the number of prize balls acquired at the jackpot is less and unstable than the jackpot of the one-type game.

  Therefore, in the jackpot process shown in FIG. 10, when the sorting lottery regarding the privilege flag performed in the two-round process is a win (S302: YES), the CPU 18 proceeds to the one-round process (S303). If it is a loss (S302: NO), the two-type round process is continued (S302: NO), and the process related to the jackpot process is repeated. Similarly, if the sorting lottery regarding the privilege flag performed in the 1st type round process is a win, the 1st type round process is continued (S302: YES), and if it is a loss, the process proceeds to the 2nd type round process. (S302: NO), the process related to the jackpot process is repeated. As a result, every time a V prize is won in each round process, the next round is performed according to the lottery, and the jackpot ends with the end of the 15th round at the maximum.

According to such an example, when the V winning is confirmed during each of the 1st type round process or the 2nd type round process in the jackpot process, the sorting lottery regarding the privilege flag is performed, and the lottery result is a win. 1 type round process is executed in case, and if the lottery result is a loss, the 2 type round process is executed, so the round in jackpot is composed of 1 type round, or 1 type round and 2 type rounds Will come to be. Therefore, during the 1st round, the player will be playing with tension so as not to shift from the 1st round with a large and stable prize ball to the 2nd round with a small and unstable prize ball count. During the 2nd round, the game will be played with the expectation of shifting from the 2nd round to the 1st round, so the jackpot action is different from that of the configuration where the 1st and 2nd types are executed independently. Thus, each time the player wins a V in each round, the player has a sense of expectation for the next round and becomes enthusiastic about the game. In addition, it is possible to change the fixed appearance at the time of the big hit, and the type 1 game and the type 2 game are closely intertwined to widen the range of the game, thereby enhancing the interest of the pachinko machine. Can do.
In the present embodiment, since the jackpot round is executed from the first round, it is possible to avoid the puncture of at least the first round and to give the player a sense of security.

(Second embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 25. The same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. A different configuration from the first embodiment is that a storage device is provided in the winning area of the center accessory 9.

  In FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 showing the center accessory 9, a pachinko ball storage device 35 is provided corresponding to the type 2 V winning opening 9 c at the bottom of the center accessory 9. This storage device 35 has an inverted C-shaped two storage plates 35a and storage rods 35b with respect to the two-type V prize opening 9c, and is in a discharged state as shown in FIG. 17 and protrudes as shown in FIG. It is comprised so that it may move between the storage state which was made. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Note that, during normal times, the storage device 35 is in a discharge state.

Next, the difference of the operation of the second embodiment from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 20 shows the two types of jackpot processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 20, the CPU 18 determines whether the round lottery random number is 0, 1 or 2 (S1001). This round lottery random number is a random number acquired together with the jackpot random number in step S104 in the start winning process shown in FIG. 8 (acquired only in the second embodiment), and is composed of three random numbers from 0 to 2. The The CPU 18 sets N = 1 when the random value of the round lottery random number is 0 (S1001: YES, S1002), and sets N = 7 when the random number is 1 (S1008: YES, S1009). In this case, N = 15 (S1008: NO, S1010). This N indicates that the storage device 35 is operated up to (N−1) rounds. For example, N = 15 means that the storage device 35 is operated up to 14 rounds, and continues up to 15 rounds. Is to increase the likelihood of doing so.

Here, the CPU 18 displays the lottery result based on the round lottery random number on the liquid crystal display unit 10 (S1003).
FIG. 19 shows the display of the jackpot confirmation on the liquid crystal display unit 10 (FIG. 19A), the display during the round lottery (FIG. 19B), and the round lottery result display (FIG. 19C). This indicates a series of display orders, and is recognized for the player only by displaying the lottery result on the liquid crystal display unit 10.

  Subsequently, in the jackpot process shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 18 resets the privilege flag (S1004), and confirms whether the privilege flag is “1” (S1005). As will be described later, this privilege flag is a flag indicating that promotion is made from a type 2 round with a low possibility of continuation of a round to a type 1 round with a high possibility of continuation of the round. Here, the reason why the privilege flag is reset in step S1004 is to start the first round with the jackpot from two rounds. Therefore, CPU18 judges that a privilege flag is not "1" (S1005: NO), and transfers to 2 type round processing (S1011).

  FIG. 21 shows two-type round processing by the CPU 18. In FIG. 21, the CPU 18 determines whether the number of rounds is less than N (S1101). Here, when the number of rounds is less than N (however, when N is 7 or 15), the CPU 18 determines that the number of rounds is less than N (S1101: YES), and sets the storage device 35 to the storage state (S1102). ), The jackpot time bonus release process and the two types of winning process are processed in parallel (S1103, S1104). To make the storage device 35 into the storage state, the storage plate 35a and the storage rod 35b are protruded to block the route leading to the second-type V winning port 9c. As a result, the pachinko balls that have won the center prize 9 are stored in the storage device 35 in front of the two-type V prize opening 9c. Therefore, in a round with less than N rounds, Even if a prize is won, winning in the two-type V winning slot 9c is prohibited.

If the number of rounds is 1 and N is 1, it is determined as “NO” in step S1101, and the storage device 35 is not in the storage state.
FIG. 22 shows the two types of winning process by the CPU 18. When the CPU 18 confirms the winning in the center accessory 9 (S1201: YES), the winning number is incremented (S1202), and the number of rounds is the final round. If it is determined that the number of times is not 15 (S1203: NO), it is monitored whether the V prize is won (S1204), whether the number of winnings reaches 10 (S1205), or whether the number of opening reaches 18 (S1211). At this time, when N is 1, the storage device 35 is not driven. In this case, the operation is the same as that of two normal pachinko gaming machines and a V prize is obtained (S1204: YES). When the prize has been won 10 times in the center accessory 9 (S1205: YES) or the number of opened blades 9b has reached 18 (S1211: YES), the process proceeds to an end process (S1206).

On the other hand, when N is 7 or 15, winning in the 2nd class V winning opening 9c is prohibited by the storage device 35, so there is no V winning and 10 winnings in the center accessory 9 When either (S1205: YES) or the number of opened blades 9b is 18 (S1211: YES), the process proceeds to an end process (S1206).
In the end process shown in FIG. 23, the CPU 18 sets the release end flag to “1” (S1301), and when the storage device 35 is in the storage state (S1302: YES), sets the storage device 35 in the release state (S1302: YES). In step S1303, the end process is ended by returning. At this time, if the pachinko ball is stored in the storage device 35 in the case where N is 7 or 15, the pachinko ball wins a V prize with a very high probability in connection with the release state.

  In the two-type winning process shown in FIG. 22, when the end process is completed as described above, the CPU 18 cannot confirm the V winning when the number of rounds is not the final round of 15 (S1207: NO). (S1208: NO), that is, when N is 1, the storage device 35 is maintained in the release state, and the V prize cannot be confirmed. When N is 7 or 15, the storage device 35 is released from the storage state. In spite of having made it, when the V winning cannot be confirmed, the jackpot processing is finished through the subsequent processing. On the other hand, when the V winning is confirmed (S1208: YES), the process shifts to the two-type V winning process (S1209).

In the type 2 V winning process shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 18 determines whether or not the current number of rounds is N (S1401). If the number of rounds is not N, the CPU 18 determines that the number of rounds is not N (S1401: NO), sets the round update flag to “1” (S1403), and returns to return two types of V The winning process is terminated.
In the jackpot process shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 18 performs a process related to round continuation (S1007, S1012, S1013), and determines whether or not the privilege flag is “1” (S1005). Here, since the privilege flag remains reset as long as the number of rounds is not N, the CPU 18 determines that the privilege flag is not “1” (S1005: NO), and proceeds to the two-type round process (S1011). Then, every time the type 2 V prize is confirmed, the type 2 round is continued (S1208, S1403), and processing is continued until the (N-1) th round is completed at the maximum.

And in the jackpot process shown in FIG. 20, when it becomes the Nth round, in the 2nd type round process shown in FIG. 21, CPU18 judges that the number of rounds is N (S1101: NO), and storage apparatus The two-round process is continued without putting 35 into the storage state.
By the above operation, when N is 7 or 15, as long as the V prize is won during the round, the V prize is performed by the discharge state following the storage state of the storage device 35 until the (N-1) th round, and the Nth time In the second round, two types of normal winnings are performed without using the storage device 35, and the probability of the V winning is extremely low as compared to the previous rounds.

  Here, when the number of rounds is N, the storage device 35 is not operating, so there is a possibility of winning V, but since the V winning probability is lower than the lose winning rate, the CPU 18 In the two-type winning process shown in FIG. 22, when two types V are won (S1204), the number of winnings reaches 10 (S1205), or the number of open reaches 18 (S1211), two types are monitored. Before winning the V prize, if the prize is 10 times in the center object 9 (S1205: YES) or the number of open blades 9b is 18 (S1211: YES), the end process The process proceeds (S1206), and after that, the jackpot process is terminated.

However, the CPU 18 performs end processing (S1210) when the number of winnings reaches 10 (S1205) or before the number of opening reaches 18 (S1211) and when the 2nd class V winnings are confirmed (S1204: YES). The process proceeds to the type 2 V winning process (S1209).
In the type 2 V winning process shown in FIG. 24, when the CPU 18 determines that the number of rounds is N (S1401: YES), the privilege flag is set to “1” (S1402) and the update flag is set to “1”. ”(S1403), and after that, returns to the jackpot process.

  In the jackpot process shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 18 performs a process related to round continuation (S1007, S1011 and S1012), and checks whether the privilege flag is “1” (S1005). Here, since the privilege flag is set to “1” in the type 2 V winning process, the CPU 18 determines that the privilege flag is “1” (S1005: YES), and proceeds to the type 1 round process. (S1006).

In short, in the 2nd round, if the V prize is not won during the Nth round in which the V prize is not made by the storage device 35, the jackpot ends in that round, and when the V prize is reached, the game shifts to the 1st round. It is.
The type 1 round process is the same as the type 1 round process shown in FIG. 11, and when the CPU 18 confirms the type 1 V prize in the process related to the type 1 round process shown in FIG. 11 (S408), The process proceeds to the type 1 V winning process (S409).

  In the type 1 V winning process shown in FIG. 25, the CPU 18 sets the round update flag to “1”, inclines the seesaw type accessory toward the type 1 normal winning port 7c side (S1502), and returns to return 1 The seed V winning process is terminated. Here, in this embodiment, since the step relating to the privilege flag as in the first embodiment is not performed, the privilege flag is not reset. As a result, there is no transition from one round to two rounds. In addition, since the seesaw-type accessory 7d is inclined toward the one-type normal winning opening 7c, the probability of winning a V is reduced thereafter.

  CPU18 performs the process regarding round continuation after completion | finish of 1 type round processing as mentioned above (S1007, S10011, S1012), and confirms whether a privilege flag is "1" (S1005). Here, since the process for resetting the privilege flag is not performed in the process after the transition to the one-type round process, the CPU 18 determines that the privilege flag is “1” (S1005: YES), and the one-type round The process is performed (S1006), and each time the 1st class V prize is confirmed, the 1st class round is continued (S408, S1501), and the 15th round is continuously performed.

  As a result of the above operation, when the player makes a two-type V prize with a normal winning probability in the N-type two-round process of the big hit, the privilege flag is set to “1” and the one type Since the transition to the round and the subsequent one-type round is executed, the player can increase the number of prize balls in the Nth round from the two kinds of rounds with small and unstable prize balls. Opportunity to move to the first round. Therefore, in the N-th round, the player has a new gameability that promotes the subsequent round to the 1st round by winning the 2nd class V prize, and whether the 2nd class V is won or not. With a sense of anxiety and a sense of expectation to obtain a large prize ball by promotion of one kind of round, a new game is born, and at the same time, the game becomes enthusiastic. In addition, it is possible to change the fixed appearance at the time of a big hit, and the type 1 game and the type 2 game are closely intertwined to expand the range of game play, thereby further enhancing the interest of the pachinko game machine be able to.

(Other examples)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified or expanded as follows.
In the first embodiment, the jackpot is established and the first round process is the one-type round process, but it is not always necessary to start with the one-type round process.
In the first or second embodiment, each time a V prize is won in each round process, an action of performing a lottery for determining the round process to be performed in the next round is performed. However, a V prize is awarded in each round process. There is no need to perform a lottery every time, and when a big hit random number is acquired in the start winning process, a random number is separately acquired. (For example, a distribution lottery is performed in an odd number of rounds, or a distribution lottery is performed in all the rounds up to the first eight rounds, and the patterns are separately associated with random numbers).

  In addition, when a random number is separately acquired in each V winning process, a random number is separately acquired, and whether or not the random number lottery is performed in the next round, or how many times the random lottery is performed or not after the next round is separately determined. It may be determined by random number lottery (determine how many times the lottery is to be performed or not, and the subsequent operation is to determine a pattern such as whether to perform random lottery or not, and associate it with a random number separately). .

In the open state of the center accessory 9 during the two-round process, the number of winnings from the right blade 9b provided in the center accessory 9 and the number of winning from the left blade 9b are determined according to the next round. It may be decided whether or not the lottery is performed, or may be promoted so that only one type of round is performed from the next round. For example, as the conditions such as when winning the case or the right wing 9b which prize from the left wing 9b 7 balls or 5 balls or more, depending on the winning numbers from either wing 9b, distributing lottery or one Round providing a plurality of conditions to determine whether to escalation, associating the this condition in advance separately provided conditions for the random number. Then, at the time of winning the V in the previous round, this conditional random number may be acquired, and if the condition corresponding to the acquired conditional random number is satisfied during the current round, the lottery may be performed or promoted. . In addition, whether the winning from the left or right blade is a condition is drawn by a conditional random number provided in advance, and the number of balls fixed to the drawn blade 9b (for example, 6 balls, this number is the total winning) on condition that it is desirable that a majority of 10 balls is a number) is winning may or promote perform sorting lottery. Here, usually, the player does not know which one to win, but fulfilled certain conditions (for example, conditions such as approaching the final round, conditions such as only even rounds, etc.) In such a case, this may be notified (for example, an arrow or the like is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 10 so that the player can recognize it), or there is a case where the notification probability is only increased and the notification is not made. You may do it.

  Moreover, in each round process, it is good also as an effect | action which distributes according to the time required from the round start to the confirmation of the predetermined number of winnings. For example, in the 1 type round process, first, at the start of 1 type round. If a 10-ball prize is confirmed within 10 seconds after opening a certain large prize opening 7, the next round will be one round, while if the prize cannot be confirmed, the next round will be two rounds. Or a sorting lottery is performed. In the two-round process, first, the blade 9b, which is the start of the two-round process, is opened and closed 10 times (the opening / closing time of each blade is 1 second for opening and 1 second for closing) If the winning of 10 balls is confirmed within 2 seconds), the next round will be a one-round or a lottery, while if the winning is not confirmed, the next round will be a two-round.

Furthermore, in the type 2 round process, it is decided whether to perform the lottery for the next round according to the time from the start of opening and closing the blade 9b, which is the start of the type 2 round process, to the time of winning the type 2 V or the number of times of opening. Or you may be promoted to perform only one round from the next round.
In the second embodiment, when the storage device 35, which is the N-th round in the two-round process, is in the release state and the second-class V is won, only one round is performed from the next round. However, when the 2nd class V prize is won, it may be a lottery to determine the round process to be performed in the next round, or when a predetermined number of rounds have been continued from the Nth round In addition, it may be promoted to a sort lottery or one round. The predetermined number of rounds may be changed by random lottery or the like for each jackpot or may be fixed (for example, three times).

  In the above embodiment, the action of determining which round processing is performed in the next round is not related to the jackpot symbol, but may be the action of determining the distribution method in relation to the jackpot symbol. When the symbol is “7”, the first round processing is performed in all rounds. When the jackpot symbol is “3”, the Nth round during the second round processing as in the second embodiment. In the round in which the storage device 35 is in the released state, when two types V are won, only one type round processing is performed from the next round, and the jackpot symbol is “1”, the first embodiment Each time the V prize is confirmed during each round processing, the round processing to be performed for the next round is determined by the random number lottery, and the jackpot chart When “5” is selected, the 1st type round process and the 2nd type round process are alternately performed for each round, and when the jackpot symbol is “9”, the round process is performed in each round process as described above. Depending on the time taken from the start to confirming a predetermined number of winnings, the round processing to be distributed may be determined, and when the jackpot symbol is other than the above, the two-round processing may be performed in all rounds. Here, the determination of the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol random number that is acquired together with the jackpot random number (a random number that is composed of ten random numbers from 0 to 9 and displays the acquired jackpot symbol random number as a jackpot symbol. , It may be determined from the case where the jackpot random number does not become a jackpot, or the total number of symbol changes from the previous jackpot (if it is within 100, the jackpot symbol is “1”, if it is 700 times or more, The jackpot symbol may be “7”). In the above, since the action of determining the distribution method in relation to the jackpot symbol is used, the player recognizes the lottery result of the jackpot symbol random number when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 10, The lottery result of the jackpot symbol random number may be displayed separately from the jackpot symbol confirmation display for recognition.

In the above-described embodiment, the first and second kinds of functions are operated independently. However, the first and second kinds of functions may be operated simultaneously. For example, the lottery random number is “7”. In the case of a special number such as “”, or when two types of V prizes are received, a random number may be acquired, and when the acquired random number is a specific random number, it may be operated simultaneously.
In the above embodiment, it is configured to be applied to a pachinko gaming machine having the function of a one-type pachinko gaming machine, but it can be applied to a pachinko machine having the function of a three-type pachinko gaming machine, or a big hit by a normal V prize. It is good also as a structure applied to the 2 type pachinko game machine which generate | occur | produces.
