Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a winning display result indicating a winning occurrence is displayed as a display result of a symbol variation game, and then a winning game is performed in which a winning means is released.

  Conventionally, a pachinko machine, which is a type of gaming machine, is given a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) state or a variation time reduction (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”) state after the big hit game is completed. There is something. The probability variation state is a state in which the probability of winning the jackpot varies from a normal probability with a low probability to a high probability. The short-time state is a state in which the variation time of a lottery game (a symbol variation game by a normal symbol) for deriving a lottery result as to whether or not to open a start winning opening which becomes a big win lottery opportunity is shortened. In addition, the probability variation state is a more advantageous gaming state than the short-time state because the player has a high probability of winning the jackpot. For this reason, in such a pachinko machine, when the short-time state is given after the big hit game, if the player recognizes that the short-time state has been given, there is a possibility that the interest of the player is lowered. Therefore, there is a technique that prevents a player from deteriorating the interest of the game by notifying the player (hidden) so that the player does not know whether the probabilistic state is given or the short-time state is given (for example, Patent Document 1). ). In Patent Document 1, after the big hit game is finished, the game state of the same appearance is given, so that the player cannot recognize whether the state is the probability variation state or the short time state.

By the way, recently, pachinko machines having different jackpot round distributions have been provided. In this type of pachinko machine, there are provided two round big hits with two rounds of the big hit game and 15 round big hits with 15 rounds of the big hit game. Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, after the big hit game is over, there is a game that has improved the interest of the game by preventing the player from visually recognizing whether it is in a probable change state or a short-time state. In such a pachinko machine, whether or not the two round big hit is a probable big hit after the two round big hit ends by not giving a short-time state regardless of whether or not it is a probable big hit after the second round big hit. Is being concealed. When the 2 round big hit is a probable big hit, only the big win lottery probability is set to a high probability after the 2 round big hit. In addition, after the 15th round big hit, if the 15 round big hit is a probable variation big hit, the probability variation state is entered, and if the non-probable variation big hit is entered, the time reduction state is entered.
JP 2004-167111 A

  In pachinko machines such as the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in order to increase the player's expectation and willingness to continue the game, the player's expectation and willingness to continue to be further increased by increasing the chance of concealing the gaming state. It is thought that you can. For this reason, in order to increase the chances of concealing the gaming state, it is necessary to increase the appearance rate of 2 round jackpots that trigger the concealing of the gaming state. However, in order to increase the appearance rate of the two round jackpots, the winning probability of the jackpot itself (hit probability) is increased, so that the control related to the jackpot lottery may become complicated and increase the control burden related to the game control. . On the other hand, in order to increase the chances of concealing the gaming state without changing the winning probability of the jackpot itself, in the allocation at the time of winning the jackpot, by increasing the allocation of the two-round jackpot and increasing the appearance rate of the two-round jackpot It is also possible to increase opportunities for concealing the game state. In such a configuration, the allocation to the 15 round big hit when the big hit is won is reduced by the increase in the big win of 2 rounds, and the chance for the player to win more prize balls (15 round big hit) is reduced. That is, it is difficult for the player to achieve the original goal of the game of winning a big hit and winning a prize ball, and the player's sense of expectation for the big hit may be reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose thereof is to improve the appearance rate of the concealment state concealing the game state without changing the winning ratio per first and second. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can be enhanced.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is characterized in that a display means for displaying a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbols, and a starting condition of the symbol variation game triggered by winning a game ball Starting winning means for granting, a lottery means for performing lottery for lottery whether or not to win a game ball to the starting winning means, and winning means for releasing during the winning game, In a game machine in which a winning display result indicating the occurrence of the winning is displayed as a display result of the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the lottery is won, and then the winning game is performed to release the winning means, The winning game is given when the lottery means determines the first winning game, and when the lottery means determines the second winning game, the winning game is more than the first winning game. The winner The second winning game in which the maximum number of times of opening is set to be small, and the prize is given in a manner in which the player cannot distinguish the difference between the second winning game and the second winning game and the second winning game is determined. and a third contact game of opening the means, said selecting means is whether the result of the per lottery is won per formed of the first per and second per the first collision determination judgment, when the determination result of the determination the first contact of the positive, while further determining one of the first per and second per, when the first collision determination result of the determination is negative Whether or not the third hit is won is determined by a second hit determination, and in the second hit determination, the second hit determination is more than the winning probability that the determination result of the first hit determination is affirmative. Increase the winning probability that the result of winning is positive Determination Te, and the first collision determination in the first per and said when winning in any of the second per the per game the first per in said selecting means as a game state after completion and the second When determining whether or not to change the winning probability that the determination result of the first hit determination per hit is affirmative from the low probability state to the high probability state, and winning the third hit in the second hit determination Includes a game state determining means for determining a game state after the third winning game as a gaming state at the time of winning the third winning game, and the winning in an open mode determined for each type of the winning game in the winning game. Opening control for releasing the means, and control means for performing gaming state control for controlling the gaming state after the end of the winning game according to the determination result of the gaming state determination means, wherein the control means includes the second control means. Per game In the game state control after the end of each game of the third winning game, the winning probability that the determination result of the first hit determination becomes affirmative according to the determination result of the gaming state determination means is a low probability state or a high probability And performing notification control for notifying the player that the gaming state is in a concealed state for concealing to the player whether the gaming state is the low probability state or the high probability state. And

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, in the symbol variation game, the first win is awarded, and the second hit and the third win are given. When the second hit and the third hit are given, the hit display result is a common hit display result.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, the winning means is the first control in the release control in the second winning game and the third winning game. It is controlled so that the opening time of one time is shorter than the opening control in the winning game, and the opening control is set to a time when it is difficult to win a game ball.

  According to the present invention, the appearance rate of the concealment state that conceals the game state can be effectively increased without changing the winning ratio per first and second.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”), which is a type of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body. And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. The front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13a of the game board 13 are provided with a decoration lamp 16 that is turned on (flashing) or turned off to perform a game effect (light emission effect) based on the light emission decoration. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect (sound effect) based on the sound output is disposed below the outer frame 11. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13.

  In the center of the game area 13a of the game board 13, a center accessory 20 having a variable display H as a liquid crystal display type display means is disposed. In the variable display H, a game effect (display effect) based on a varying image (or image display) is performed. Further, the variable display H is provided with a special symbol display area H1 and a decorative symbol display area H2 as shown in FIG. In the special symbol display area H1, a special symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as “special symbol game”) for deriving symbols by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter “special symbol”) is performed. It has become. In the decorative symbol display area H2, a decorative symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as “decorative symbol game”) in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter referred to as “decorative symbols”) are varied in a plurality of columns to derive symbol combinations. ) Is to be performed. The special game and the decorative game are started at the same time, and a symbol combination by the special graphic and a symbol combination by the decorative graphic are respectively derived and ended at the same time. FIG. 2 shows a case where the symbol based on the special figure is [3] and the symbol combination based on the decoration is [111]. In the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game, the symbol variation starts in the special symbol display region H1 and the decorative symbol display region H2, respectively, and the symbol combination by the special symbol and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol are respectively determined and displayed. The special figure is a notification pattern used to display the result of the internal lottery. The decorative drawing is a design for production used to diversify the display production.

  In the special symbol display area H1, four types of numbers [0], [1], [2], and [3] and a symbol [-] can be displayed as special symbols. When the symbol that is finally displayed (determined) in the special symbol display area H1 is a number from [0] to [3], the big hit can be recognized from the symbol. The symbol that can recognize this jackpot is the symbol of the jackpot by the special diagram. On the other hand, when the symbol confirmed and displayed in the special symbol display area H1 is [-], a deviation from the symbol can be recognized. The symbol that can recognize this deviation is a symbol that is out of focus by a special figure. In FIG. 2, the special symbol display area H1 and the special figure are enlarged for the sake of explanation, but the actual special symbol display area H1 has a size (display area) larger than that of the decorative symbol display area H2. The variable display H is provided so that the special figure is displayed much smaller than the decorative drawing. For this reason, it is rare for a player to recognize a big hit or miss by the design of a special figure.

  In the decorative symbol display area H2, a plurality of types of decorative drawings are displayed in a plurality of columns. In the decorative symbol display area H2, a decorative symbol game for deriving a symbol combination of three rows of symbols with symbols imitating eight types of numbers “1” to “8” is performed. Hereinafter, the “special game” and the “decorative game” are collectively referred to as a “design variation game”. Then, the player can recognize a hit (big hit and small hit) or deviation from the symbol combination (display result) finally displayed (determined display) in the decorative symbol display area H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and displayed in the decorative symbol display area H2 are of the same type, the big hit can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination by a decorative drawing. When the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and displayed in the decorative symbol display area H2 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols forming the reach, the symbol combination ([123] [ 122] [767], etc.). The symbol combination that can recognize the deviation is a symbol combination that is out of the decoration. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game starts (when the symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → right column (right symbol) → middle as viewed from the player side The symbols are displayed (temporarily stopped) in the order of the columns (middle symbols). If the left symbol and the right symbol (designated in the left column and right column) that are temporarily stopped are of the same type, the symbol combination ([1 ↓ 1], etc.) changes. Reach can be recognized.

  In the decorative symbol display area H2, a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display area H1 is displayed. More specifically, a symbol combination by a special symbol in the special symbol display area H1 and a symbol combination by a decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display area H2 are associated. Is displayed correspondingly. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the variable display H (special symbol display area H1 and decorative symbol display region H2) includes a jackpot symbol combination according to a decorative symbol corresponding to the symbol [3] according to the special symbol, A jackpot symbol combination (for example, [111]) by one decoration diagram is fixedly displayed. Further, when a symbol out of the special symbol is displayed in the special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination out of the decorative symbol is also displayed in the decorative symbol display region H2. It should be noted that the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, so that the symbol combination by one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. It has become.

  A start winning opening (start winning means) 22 provided with an opening / closing blade 21 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed below the center accessory 20. Behind the start winning opening 22 is provided a start opening sensor SE1 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a winning game ball. The start winning opening 22 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game in response to detection of a winning game ball. Also, below the start winning opening 22, a large winning opening (winning means) 24 including a large winning opening door 23 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed. When the big hit game is awarded, the big winning opening 24 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning door 23 so that the game ball can be won, so that the player has a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. be able to.

  The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol and the jackpot symbol combination are confirmed and displayed in the symbol variation game. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening 24 is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as an upper limit (15 rounds or 2 rounds in the present embodiment). One round game is from the opening of the big prize opening 24 until it is closed. During one round game, the big winning opening 24 has a predetermined number of game balls (10 balls in this embodiment). Will be released until a prize is received or until a specified time (25 seconds for a specified number of rounds of 25 seconds or 0.3 seconds for a specified number of rounds of 2) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  An operation gate 25 is disposed on the left side of the start winning opening 22. A gate sensor SE <b> 2 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a game ball that has passed through the operation gate 25 is provided behind the operation gate 25. The operation gate 25 can give a starting condition for a normal symbol variation game (lottery game) when the game ball passes. The normal symbol variation game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result of whether or not the opening / closing blade 21 of the start winning opening 22 is opened (whether it is easy to win a game ball in the starting winning opening 22). is there. When the opening / closing blade 21 opens, the start winning opening 22 is in a state where the entrance is enlarged and the game ball is easily won. On the other hand, when the opening / closing blade 21 is closed, the start winning opening 22 is in a state where it is difficult to win a game ball whose entrance is not enlarged. The opening / closing blade 21 repeats an opening operation and a closing operation, thereby making it possible to change between a state where a game ball is likely to win the start winning opening 22 and a state where the game ball is difficult to win. The normal symbol variation game is performed by displaying a symbol different from the symbol used for the symbol variation game on the variable display H, or by causing the light emitting display to emit light.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is based on a normal probability (1/300 in this embodiment) that the probability of winning a lottery (winning probability) is low (normal state) after the jackpot game is over (1/30 in this embodiment). This is a function that gives a probability variation state that fluctuates. That is, the probability variation state changes from a low probability state where the lottery probability is low to a high probability state where the lottery probability is high. The probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10,000 times) of the symbol variation game is performed or until the next big hit game is started. A jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game ends becomes a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state after the big hit game ends becomes a non-probability big hit. If a probable change state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability, and it is easy for a big win to occur. It is carried out.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”). The time-shortening function (operation control) shortens the variation time of the normal symbol variation game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not the opening / closing blade 21 is opened (whether or not it is easy to win the game ball in the start winning opening 22). This is a function for giving the player a short time state. That is, when the time-short state is given, the time of one normal symbol variation game (the time from when the normal symbol starts to change until it is fixedly displayed) is, for example, 30 seconds (time-short state is given. The time is shortened to 5 seconds (when the time saving state is applied). That is, the time-short state is an operating rate improvement state in which the operating rate of the opening / closing blade 21 per unit time is improved. In addition, the time reduction function performs an operation control that gives an operating rate improvement state. The short state at this time is given until the predetermined number of symbol variation games are completed, or until the big hit is generated before the predetermined number of times is reached.

  The opening / closing blade 21 of the start winning opening 22 opens and closes with different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game when the time-short state is given and when the time-short state is not given. It has become. That is, the opening / closing blade 21 operates more favorably for the player when the time-short state is given compared to the state where the time-short state is not given. In the time reduction function, the time reduction state may be given with 100 symbol variation games as an upper limit, or with 10,000 symbol variation games as an upper limit.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the jackpot 15R (first hit) that defines the number of round games in the jackpot game as 15 jackpots as the jackpot, and the jackpot 2R (second hit) that determines the prescribed round number as 2 times. And are provided. When a jackpot of 15R is awarded to the player, a jackpot game (first hit game) that gives a prescribed round number of 15 is given, and when a jackpot of 2R is awarded to the player, the prescribed number of rounds Is a big hit game (second big hit game). In the present embodiment, a small hit (third hit) determined separately from the big hit (big hit 15R and big hit 2R) by internal lottery (hit determination) is provided. Then, when the small winning is determined by the internal lottery and the small winning is given to the player, the small winning game (third winning game) in which the big winning opening 24 is opened by the opening operation of the large winning opening door 23 is performed. Game).

  The big hit 15R includes a probability change big hit in which a probability change state is given after the big hit game ends and a non-probability big hit in which a probability change state is not given after the big hit game ends. In the probability change big hit of 15R, the probability change state and the short-time state are given to the symbol variation game until the next big hit (10000 times at the maximum) after the big hit game ends. In addition, in the non-probable big hit of 15R, the time-short state is given up to 100 times after the big hit game ends, and the probable state is not given. That is, after the big hit 15R is completed, at least a time reduction state is given. On the other hand, the big hit 2R has only a probable big hit that is given a probable change state after the big hit game ends. In other words, after the big hit 2R big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is always given. On the other hand, after the end of the small hit game by the small hit, the game state continues the game state at the time of winning the small hit. That is, after the small hit game is over, the gaming state is not changed. For this reason, after the small hit game is over, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is a normal state where the winning probability of the big hit is a low probability, the probability variation state is not given, while the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit Is a probability variation state with a high probability of winning the jackpot, a probability variation state is given.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a start port sensor SE1 that detects a game ball won in the start winning port 22. The main CPU 30a is connected to a gate sensor SE2 that detects a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 25. Further, the main CPU 30a updates various random number values such as hit determination random numbers and special figure distribution random numbers every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c before the update. The value of is rewritten.

  In addition, a main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is that the symbols (special illustrations and decorations) start to change (the symbol variation game (special illustrations game and decorations game) starts), then the symbols in all rows are confirmed (the symbol variation game (specials and decorations) It shows a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light emission effect, sound effect) until the decoration game is finished). The ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value for determining a big hit and a small hit determination value for determining a small hit. The ROM 30b stores a special figure determination value for determining a special figure at the time of big hit. In the special figure determination value, random numbers for special figure distribution are assigned to each special figure. Then, the main CPU 30a determines one special figure with reference to the special figure distribution random number and the special figure determination value when the big hit is determined (when affirmative in the big hit determination). On the other hand, when determining the small hit (when negative in the big hit determination, and affirmative by the small hit determination), the small hit symbol ([0]) by the special figure is determined. On the other hand, at the time of determination of the loss (when negative in the big hit determination and the small hit determination), the symbol of the loss ([-]) by the special figure is determined. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random numbers) that can be rewritten as appropriate during operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  In the variation pattern, for each variation pattern, the symbol variation game (special drawing game and decoration drawing game) is started (special drawing and decoration drawing starts changing) and finished (the special drawing and decoration drawing are confirmed and displayed. Fluctuating time is determined. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of variation patterns having different variation times are provided. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the variation time and effect contents of the symbol variation game. In addition, the production time of the game effect based on the special drawing and the decoration drawing is the same. The special figure game is fluctuated until the special time is displayed in the special symbol display area H1 when the production time elapses and the production time elapses. Further, the decorative game is fluctuating until the production time elapses. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, as the variation patterns, a variation pattern P1 selected when the big hit 15R is determined and a variation pattern P2 selected when the big hit 2R is determined are prepared. In addition, a variation pattern P3 selected when the small hit is determined and a variation pattern for a loss effect selected when the loss is determined are prepared.

Next, the fluctuation pattern P1, the fluctuation pattern P2, the fluctuation pattern P3, and the fluctuation pattern for the off-stage effect according to the present embodiment will be described.
The variation pattern P1 is a pattern in which a jackpot symbol and a jackpot symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot respectively in the special drawing game and the decoration drawing game are finally displayed. Also, in the variation pattern P2, a jackpot symbol that can be recognized in the special game is finally displayed, and the jackpot cannot be recognized in the decoration game, and is different from the symbol combination of the jackpot The combination is a pattern that is finally displayed. In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination by a decorative drawing that is finally displayed in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P1, and is a symbol combination in which the symbols in all the rows are of the same type. Also, in the variation pattern P3, a small hit symbol that can recognize a small hit in a special game is finally displayed, and a big hit cannot be recognized in a decorative game, and is different from a big hit symbol combination. A pattern combination is finally displayed. In addition, the variation pattern for the offending effect is a pattern in which a symbol pattern and a symbol combination that are out of place are finally displayed in the special game and the decorative game, respectively.

  The variation pattern P2 is a pattern in which the variation time and the content of the effect of the symbol variation game are the same as the variation pattern for the deviating effect, and the variation pattern for the deviating effect is different from the variation pattern P2. Display contents and the final display contents of the decoration game are different. Further, the variation pattern P3 is a pattern in which the variation time and the content of the effect of the symbol variation game are the same as the variation pattern for the deviating effect, and the variation pattern for the deviating effect is different from the variation pattern P3. Display contents and the final display contents of the decoration game are different. For this reason, in the variation pattern P2, the big win symbol in the special game is finally displayed in the special pattern game, and in the variation pattern P3, the small bonus symbol in the special game is finally displayed. It is difficult to recognize whether the current symbol variation game has a big hit or a small hit. That is, in the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3, the big hit or the small hit is determined internally (the symbol of the big hit or the small hit according to the special figure is fixedly displayed), but it appears to the player (decorative drawing). It is a pattern for confirming and displaying a symbol combination that makes it easy to recognize deviations (in a game).

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit of the main CPU 30a is determined (when the big hit is determined internally), the fluctuation pattern P1 and the fluctuation are changed according to the type of special figure distributed by the special figure distribution random number. Any one of the patterns P2 is selected, and when the small hit is determined (when the small hit is determined internally), the variation pattern P3 is selected. In addition, when the main CPU 30a determines the deviation (when the deviation is determined internally), the variation pattern for the deviation effect is selected.

Next, in the present embodiment, a special figure determined by the main CPU 30a at the time of determination of a big hit and a big hit game performed based on the special figure will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 4, in the special figure ([1] to [3]) determined at the time of the big hit, the number of round games performed in the big hit game for each special figure, and the big winning opening 24 in one round game is opened. Opening time (time from the opening of the grand prize opening door 23 to the closing operation), whether or not to give a probability variation state, a selection ratio by a random number for special figure distribution, and whether to give a short time state Whether or not is shown.

  In the special chart of [1], a jackpot 2R is defined, in which the prescribed number of round games during a jackpot game is two rounds (two times), and in the round game of one round, the big prize opening 24 is maximized. Is set to open for 0.3 seconds. In addition, after the jackpot game according to the special drawing [1] is finished, the probability change jackpot to which the probability change state is given is set. At the time of big hit, the special figure distribution random numbers are distributed so that the special figure [1] is selected at a ratio of 50% of the total random numbers (1/2 of the special figure distribution random numbers). . In addition, after the jackpot game according to the special figure of [1], if the short-time state is not given at the time of big hit, the short-time state is not given, and if the short-time state is given at the big hit, it is granted It is stipulated that the short state is continuously granted.

  Also, in the special illustrations of [2] and [3], a jackpot 15R is defined in which the prescribed number of round games in a jackpot game is 15 rounds (15 times). In that round game, It is defined that the special winning opening 24 is opened for a maximum of 25 seconds. In addition, after the jackpot game according to the special drawing [2] is completed, a non-probability variable big hit is made in which a probability change state is not given. On the other hand, the jackpot associated with the special drawing of [3] is a probability change jackpot in which a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. And, at the time of big hit, the special maps of [2] and [3] are selected at the ratio of 25% of the whole random numbers (1/4 of the random numbers for special map distribution). It is distributed. Also, after the big hit game accompanying the special drawings [2] and [3], the time-short state is given in both cases. In the special figure [2], the short-time state is given over a maximum of 100 symbol variation games because it is a non-probable big hit, and in the special figure [3], the probable state and the short-time state are the next big hits. Until now (up to 10,000 times), it is given in the symbol variation game.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, whether the big hit is the big hit 15R or the big hit 2R is distributed according to the special figures ([1] to [3]) determined at the time of the big hit. In the big hit 15R, the big prize opening 24 is opened once in one round game, and the big prize opening 24 is opened only 15 times at the maximum number of rounds (15 prizes in the big hit 15R). The door 23 is controlled to be opened). In the big hit 2R, the big prize opening 24 is opened once in one round game, and the big prize opening 24 is opened only two times at the maximum number of rounds (the big prize 2R in the big hit 2R). The door 23 is controlled to be opened).

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit 15R, the opening time for opening the grand prize winning opening 24 in one round game (the time until the big winning opening door 23 is opened and closed) is The number of game balls to be fired after being released is set to be equal to or longer than the time required for launching at least the prescribed number of game balls (in this embodiment, 10). In the launching device 19 of this embodiment, 100 game balls can be launched per minute. For this reason, the launching device 19 launches game balls at intervals of 0.6 seconds. Further, in the launching device 19, the time required from the opening of the special winning opening 24 to the launching of 10 game balls, which is the prescribed number of winnings, is 6.0 seconds. That is, at the big hit 15R, the opening time of the big winning opening 24 is set to 25 seconds, which is sufficiently longer than 6.0 seconds, so that the specified number of game balls can be won into the big winning opening 24. Therefore, at the big hit 15R, in the round game of the specified number of rounds, the player is given a chance to win the specified number of game balls and win the winning ball.

  On the other hand, in the big hit 2R, the opening time for opening the grand prize opening 24 in one round game (the time from the opening of the big prize opening door 23 to the closing operation) is opened. It is set to be less than the time until one game ball to be fired after reaching the grand prize opening 24 (winning). In the present embodiment, a game ball launched into the game area 13a from the upper left of the game board 13 is a game member (a plurality of nails, a center accessory 20, various winning devices, etc.) arranged on the game area 13a. The game flows down below (outro) the game area 13a. For this reason, the game ball fired from the launching device 19 is not fired to the big winning opening 24 provided below the game area 13a and arrives immediately, but collides with a game member arranged in the game area 13a. Thus, it takes time (for example, 1.0 second) to reach the special winning opening 24. That is, in the big hit 2R, the opening time of the big winning opening 24 is set to a time shorter than the arrival time (0.3 seconds in the present embodiment), so that at least the gaming ball launched after the big winning opening 24 is opened. With respect to the game ball, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being won (to make it difficult to win the game ball). Note that game balls that have already been launched at the time the grand prize opening 24 is opened may be awarded to the big prize opening 24, and there may be cases where the game ball wins even with a big win 2R.

  Further, in the big hit 2R, the big prize opening 24 is opened only for 0.3 seconds, so it is difficult for the player to notice whether or not the big prize opening 24 has been opened. In the present embodiment, when the special drawings [2] and [3] are selected, the player is given a chance to win a lot of prize balls in the jackpot game and at the same time entertains the jackpot game. "Is selected, it is difficult for the player to notice the big hit.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, and a RAM 31c. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. The RAM 31c stores (sets) various information (random number values and the like) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a, a ROM 32b, and a RAM 32c. The ROM 32b stores an effect control program for controlling the display content of the variable display H. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control board 30 (main CPU 30a), the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), and the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) will be described.
First, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 (main CPU 30a) according to the main control program will be described.

  When the game ball wins the start winning opening 22 and the detection signal from the start opening sensor SE1 is input, the main CPU 30a reads the random number for hit determination and the random number for special figure distribution from the RAM 30c (the winning lottery is selected). Stored) in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Then, immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, the main CPU 30a compares the value of the hit determination random number stored in the RAM 30c with the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b to determine whether or not the winning is won. A big hit determination (first hit determination) is performed. When this determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines a big hit. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a compares the value of the hit determination random number with the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b to determine whether or not the small hit is determined ( Second hit determination) is performed. When this determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines a small hit. On the other hand, when the determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a determines a loss because the main CPU 30a has missed the big hit determination and the small hit determination. The main CPU 30a determines whether or not it is a big win by setting the winning probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative in the normal state where the probability variation state is not given to the normal probability (1/300), In the probability variation state, the winning determination is made with a high probability (1/30) of the big hit. In addition, the main CPU 30a determines the winning probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is positive regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given, from the normal probability (1/300) that the determination result of the big hit determination is positive. Is set to a high winning probability (1/200 in the present embodiment) and the hit determination is performed. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit (big hit 15R and big hit 2R) rises to 10 times the normal probability in a probable state, so the possibility of winning a small hit is lower than the big hit. Become. For this reason, in the probability variation state, it is easy to win a big hit rather than a small win (the winning probability is set high). On the other hand, in a normal state, it is easy to win a small hit rather than a big win (the winning probability is set high). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that performs lottery when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 22 serves as a lottery means.

  Next, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning probabilities determined for the big hit and the small hit in the normal state and the winning probabilities set for the big hit in the probable change state, which are drawn by the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination). Will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 shows the winning probabilities for the big hit and the small hit in the normal state. FIG. 5 shows the jackpot winning probability in the probability variation state in parentheses below the winning probability in the normal state.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the normal state, the big hit and the small hit are determined to be big hits with a 1/300 winning probability by the big hit determination (the random number for hit determination and the big hit determination value match), and the small hit determination Is determined to be a small hit with a winning probability of 1/200 (the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value). Further, when the big hit is determined to be a big hit, the big hit is 15R or the big hit 2R with a half (half) of the distribution ratio. Therefore, the winning probability for the jackpot 15R is 1/600 ((1/300) × (1/2)), and the winning probability for the jackpot 2R is also 1/600 ((1/300) × ( 1/2)). In addition, when the big hit is the big hit 15R, it is further divided into a probable big hit or a non-probable big hit with a half (half) distribution ratio. Therefore, the winning probability for the big hit 15R per probability variation jackpot is 1/1200 ((1/600) × (1/2)), and the winning probability for the 15R per non-probable big hit jackpot is also 1/1200 ((1 / 600) × (1/2)). In addition, the winning probability of winning the big hit 2R and the small hit is 1/150 ((1/600) + (1/200)).

  Also, in the probability variation state, the big hit is determined to be a big hit with a 1/30 winning probability by the big hit determination (the random number for winning determination and the big hit determination value match), and the winning probability of 1/200 by the small hit determination Is determined to be a small hit (the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value). Further, when the big hit is determined to be a big hit, the big hit is 15R or the big hit 2R with a distribution ratio of two-half (half). Therefore, the winning probability for the jackpot 15R is 1/60 ((1/30) × (1/2)), and the winning probability for the jackpot 2R is also 1/60 ((1/30) × ( 1/2)). Further, when the big hit is the big hit 15R, the big hit is further divided into the probable big hit or the non-probable big hit with a half (half) distribution ratio. For this reason, the winning probability for the big hit 15R per probability variation jackpot is 1/120 ((1/60) × (1/2)), and the winning probability for the 15R non-probable big hit jackpot is also 120 times ((1 / 60) × (1/2)). Note that the winning probability for the small hit is 1/200, regardless of whether or not the probability change state.

  When the determination result of the hit determination (big hit determination or small hit determination) is affirmative (the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value or the small hit determination value), the main CPU 30a determines the big hit or the small hit. To do. When the big hit is determined in the big hit determination, the main CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value stored in the RAM 30c together with the random number for the hit determination, and uses the special figure previously associated with the value as the big hit by the special figure. Determine as a symbol. Further, the main CPU 30a which has determined the small hit in the small hit determination determines a special figure associated with the small hit in advance as a small hit symbol based on the special figure. Then, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit symbol [0] based on the special drawing. The jackpot symbol is a symbol that forms a jackpot symbol (final jackpot display result) according to a special symbol that is finally confirmed and displayed. It is a symbol which forms a symbol (final small hit display result). Further, when the special CPU is determined, the main CPU 30a determines one of the fluctuation patterns P1 or P2 when the big hit is based on the special figure, and determines the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation pattern P3 when the small hit. To do.

  In addition, when determining the big hit, the main CPU 30a determines the big hit symbol according to the determined special figure, whether the current big hit is 2R or the big hit 15R, and the probable change state after the end of the big hit big hit game. Decide whether to grant. The main CPU 30a determines whether or not to give a probability change state as the gaming state after the big hit game by determining a special figure when the big hit is decided. Further, when the jackpot symbol according to the determined special figure is [1], the main CPU 30a keeps the gaming state after winning the jackpot game from the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot. For this reason, the main CPU 30a maintains information (such as a flag) relating to the short time state as the gaming state stored in the RAM 30c. The information about the time-short state is whether or not the time-short state is given, how many times the symbol variation game has been performed since the time-short state has been given (how many times the symbol time-saving state is given to the remaining symbol variation games) ). That is, the main CPU 30a continuously gives the time reduction state as the gaming state based on the information in the RAM 30c when the time reduction state is assigned. In addition, the main CPU 30a stores (sets) the above information in the RAM 30c in order to give a short time state after the big hit game is ended, regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit determination, when the big hit symbol by the special drawing is [2] and [3]. )

  Further, when determining the small hit, the main CPU 30a keeps the gaming state after the small hit game is continued from the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit. For this reason, the main CPU 30a maintains the information (flag and the like) stored in the RAM 30c as it is. In the present embodiment, information (a flag or the like) indicating the current gaming state is stored in the RAM 30c, and the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the current gaming state is a probable change state and a time-saving state based on the information. We know whether or not.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot (big jackpot 2R or jackpot 15R), whether to give a probability variation state, and whether to give a short-time state, stores information (such as a flag) based on the decision in the RAM 30c. (Set). Further, the main CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot game to be started based on the information stored in the RAM 30c, whether to perform the jackpot judgment of the hit judgment with a low probability or a high probability after the jackpot game is finished (in the probability variation big hit). And whether or not to give a short-time state after the jackpot game ends.

  On the other hand, when the determination results of the big hit determination and the small hit determination are both negative (the big hit determination value and the small hit determination value are inconsistent), the main CPU 30a determines a deviation. The main CPU 30a that has determined the detachment determines the detachment symbol [-] according to the special drawing. The missing symbol is a symbol that forms a symbol that is finally displayed. Further, the main CPU 30a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the offending effect.

  The main CPU 30a having determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main CPU 30a first instructs a variation pattern and outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of a symbol variation game (special game or decoration game). Next, the main CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command indicating the determined special figure. After that, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for instructing to stop (determine display) the symbol variation game (special game and decoration diagram game) when the variation time determined in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed.

  In addition, when the main CPU 30a determines the big hit, after the symbol fluctuation game based on the fluctuation patterns P1 and P2, the control related to the big hit game (control of the presentation instruction such as the opening effect and the opening / closing operation of the big prize door 23) Execute. When starting the big hit 15R, the main CPU 30a outputs a control command for instructing an opening effect, a round effect to be performed in each round game, an ending effect, and the like. Further, after the opening effect is finished, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 23 (opens the first big prize opening 24). Then, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 23 again until the specified number of game balls have won the big prize opening 24 or until 25.0 seconds are counted by the timer (second big prize winning). Open mouth 24). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a starts the ending effect after the end of the 15 round games defined by the specified number of rounds (after the opening of the 15th big winning opening 24), and ends the ending effect with 15R of big hit End the jackpot game.

  Further, when starting the big hit 2R, the main CPU 30a does not output a control command instructing the start of the opening effect after the output of all the symbol stop commands after the symbols (special illustrations and decorations) are displayed in the symbol variation game. (Does not perform the opening effect)) Soon, the grand prize opening door 23 is opened (the first big prize opening 24 is opened). Then, the main CPU 30a counts 0.3 seconds with a timer and closes the special winning opening door 23. Subsequently, the main CPU 30a measures an interval of 1.2 seconds, and soon opens the grand prize opening door 23 again (opens the second big prize opening 24). Further, the main CPU 30a counts 0.3 seconds with a timer, and closes the special winning opening door 23. Then, the big hit game of 2R is finished with the end of the two opening / closing operations of the big prize opening door 23 (the opening of the two big winning openings 24). In the big hit 2R, the main CPU 30a does not output a control command for instructing the start of the ending effect (without performing the ending effect), and plays the big hit game with the second closing operation of the grand prize winning door 23. Terminate.

  Further, when determining the small hit, the main CPU 30a executes the control related to the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3. When starting the small hit game, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize winning door 23 soon after the final display of the symbols (special symbols and decorations) in the symbol variation game (after the output of all symbol stop commands) (first time) Open the grand prize opening 24). Then, the main CPU 30a counts 0.4 seconds with a timer and closes the special winning opening door 23. Subsequently, the main CPU 30a measures an interval of 1.0 second, and soon opens the grand prize opening door 23 again (opens the second big prize opening 24). Further, the main CPU 30a counts 0.4 seconds with a timer, and closes the special prize opening door 23. The small hit game is finished with (opening the two big winning openings 24). Then, the small hit game is ended by the end of the two opening / closing operations of the special winning opening door 23 (the opening of the two special winning openings 24).

  The main CPU 30a determines the game state after the big hit and the small hit game end based on the information stored in the RAM 30c after the big hit and the small hit game end (after the big hit 2R, the big hit 15R and the small hit game end). To do. The main CPU 30a shifts the gaming state to the probability changing state when it is indicated that the RAM 30c is to be given a probability change state, and the main CPU 30a shortens the gaming state when it is indicated that the RAM 30c is assigned a time reduction state. Transition to the state. When starting the time reduction state, the main CPU 30a outputs a time reduction start command indicating the start of the time reduction state to the overall CPU 31a, and a predetermined number of times (100 times or 10,000 times) that is a big hit during the time reduction state. The time-short state is terminated when the symbol variation game of elapses. Then, when ending the time reduction state, the main CPU 30a outputs a time reduction end command indicating that the time reduction state ends to the overall CPU 31a. Further, the main CPU 30a does not assign the probability variation state as the gaming state when it is not indicated that the RAM 30c is imparted with the probability variation state. Further, the main CPU 30a does not provide the time reduction state as the gaming state when it is not indicated that the RAM 30c is provided with the time reduction state. Then, at the end of the big hit game, the main CPU 30a clears the information stored (set) in the RAM 30c and executes the process of the symbol variation game.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game mode of the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game will be described based on FIG.
FIG. 6 shows one opening time of the big winning opening 24, an interval time from the closing of the big winning opening 24 to the opening of the next big winning opening 24, each game (big hit 2R big hit game and small win) The maximum number of times that the big winning opening 24 is opened in the winning game) and the time required for each game (the time taken from the opening of the first big winning opening 24 to the closing of the second big winning opening 24) are shown.

  In the big hit game of 2R, the opening time (maximum opening time) of one big winning opening 24 is 0.3 seconds, the interval time is 1.2 seconds, and the number of opening of the big winning opening 24 in the big hit game is two times. It is said. The time required for one big hit game is 1.8 seconds. In addition, in the small hit game, the opening time (maximum opening time) of the one big winning opening 24 is 0.4 seconds, the interval time is 1.0 second, and the opening number of the big winning opening 24 in the small hit game is 2. I'm trying. The time required for one small hit game is 1.8 seconds.

  In the big hit 2R and the small hit of the present embodiment, the opening time of the single big winning opening 24 is set to 0.3 seconds or 0.4 seconds, and the small hit game is larger than the big hit 2R big hit game. The grand prize opening 24 is opened for 0.1 seconds. The difference of 0.1 second is a time that is difficult for the player to grasp with a sense. For this reason, when the big prize opening 24 is opened in accordance with the big hit 2R or the small hit, the player notices which opening time (0.3 seconds or 0.4 seconds) the big prize opening 24 is opened. It is supposed not to let you. That is, it is not judged by the player whether the big winning 2R or the small winning is from the opening of the big winning opening 24. In addition, the interval time from the closing of the big winning opening 24 in each game to the opening is set to 1.2 seconds or 1.0 seconds, and the big hit game with 2R big hit is more than the small hit game. And 0.2 seconds longer. As described above, the difference of 0.2 seconds is a time that is difficult for the player to perceive with sense. Therefore, whether the current game is a big hit 2R or a small hit is also determined from the difference in the interval time. It is not judged by the person. Further, the maximum number of times the big winning opening 24 is opened in each game and the total time required for the big hit game or the small hit game are determined to be the same. In other words, in the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game, the difference in time that the player can not perceive in the opening time and interval time of the big prize opening 24 (0.1 seconds and 0.2 seconds) And the time required for each game is made the same so that each game can be seen in the same mode for the player. And since it seems to be the same mode, the difference between the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game cannot be judged by the player.

  In addition, as in the big hit game of the big hit 2R, in the big hit game, the big winning opening 24 is opened shortly after the end of the symbol variation game, so that it is difficult for the player to recognize that the small hit game itself has started. In addition, since the opening time of the big prize opening 24 during the small hit game is a moment (0.3 seconds or 0.4 seconds, which is less than the time for the game ball to be launched and reach the big prize opening 24), the game ball The winning ball of the player is almost impossible to expect, and the player's winning ball is not allowed to exist.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the big hit 2R and the small hit are won during the short-time state, the given short-time state is continuously given. In other words, the short-time state being granted is not terminated by winning the big hit 2R and the small hit. In addition, when the big hit 2R is won, the winning state is shifted to the positive change state. For this reason, the big hit 2R and the small hit differ in whether or not the game state is shifted to the probability change state after the game of each game (big hit game and small hit) ends. In other words, the gaming state shifts to a promiscuous state triggered by winning of the big hit 2R, but the gaming state is not changed triggered by winning of the small hit. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that determines the gaming state after the big hit and the small hit is the gaming state determination means.

Next, the control contents executed by the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a) according to the overall control program will be described.
When the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the control boards 32-34. When the general CPU 31a inputs the special symbol designation command and the all symbol stop command, the general CPU 31a outputs the symbol designation command and the all symbol halt command for designating the special symbol and the decorative symbol to the display control board 32. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a inputs a time reduction start command, the general CPU 31a sets information (such as a flag) indicating that the time reduction state is given to the RAM 31c. Further, the general CPU 31a continuously sets the information in the RAM 31c until the input of the time reduction end command, and grasps that it is in the time reduction state.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs a special figure command, it determines the type of special figure designated in the special figure designation command. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines a decorative drawing corresponding to the special drawing, and outputs a decorative drawing designation command indicating the determined decorative drawing to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). Specifically, the central CPU 31a, when the special figure designated in the special figure designation command is [2] and [3], can recognize the big hit as a symbol combination by the decorative figure To decide. In the case of the special drawing [2], the general CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the big hit with the same three numbers from “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” by lottery. . That is, the symbol combination of jackpots with three decorative figures having the same numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” becomes the symbol combination of non-probable big hits with decorative figures. Further, in the case of the special drawing [3], the general CPU 31a draws a symbol combination of big hits with three decorative figures from among “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” by lottery. decide. That is, the symbol combination of jackpots based on the three decorative figures having the same number “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7” becomes the symbol combination of the probability variation jackpots based on the decorative figures.

  In addition, when the special figure specified in the special figure designation command is [0] and [1], the general CPU 31a cannot recognize the big hit as the symbol combination by the decorative drawing and is different from the big hit symbol combination. Determine the symbol combination. Further, the overall CPU 31a does not determine a symbol combination that forms a reach as the symbol combination determined at [0] and [1], but determines a completely out of symbol combination that does not form a reach. Completely off is a combination of symbols that cannot be reached due to reach from the display result of the symbol variation game. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination in which three numbers [123] (hereinafter referred to as “chance eyes”) are arranged in numerical order as a symbol combination by a decorative drawing for the special symbols [0] and [1]. To do.

  In addition, when the special figure designated in the special figure designation command is [−], the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that is out of place by a decorative figure as a symbol combination of the decorative figure. In addition, the symbol combination by the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing of [-] includes the symbol combination of the chance.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, as a symbol combination by a decorative drawing, the special combinations of [0] and [1] can be recognized as a symbol combination (chance) when viewed from the player side. Was made to correspond. For this reason, even if the big hit 2R or the small hit is determined internally by the hit determination, the symbol combination that can recognize the deviation when viewed from the player side is determined as the symbol combination by the decorative drawing. As a result, in the decorative symbol display area H2 of the variable display H, a symbol combination for recognizing that the player is out of place is confirmed and displayed. That is, when winning the big hit 2R and the small hit according to the special illustrations of [0] and [1], the player is notified that the big win and the small win are won by the variable display H (decorative symbol display area H2). It is difficult to recognize. In addition, the chance item may be determined as a symbol combination by a decorative drawing even in the case of a special symbol [-], and even if the chance item is displayed on the variable display H (decorative symbol display area H2), From the display result (display result of the decorative symbol display area H2), it is impossible for the player to recognize whether the result of the hit determination is a big hit 2R, a small hit or a miss.

  Subsequently, the general CPU 31a that has determined the symbol combination by the decorative drawing, after the end of the big hit 2R big hit game or the small hit game according to the special drawing of [0] and [1], the game is triggered by the big hit 2R or the small hit. A special mode for notifying (suggesting) to the player that the player has entered a concealed state that conceals that the state is a probabilistic state is started. Subsequently, the overall CPU 31a outputs a mode start command to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) in order to start the special mode. When starting the special mode, the overall CPU 31a continues the special mode until the predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) the symbol variation game has elapsed.

  The overall CPU 31a counts the number of symbol variation games that have passed since the special mode was started in the RAM 31c, and when the count result is 100, the special CPU 31a ends the special mode. Then, when the general CPU 31a ends the special mode, it outputs a mode end command to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a executes notification control that instructs the start and end of the special mode.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the display mode of the variable display H in the symbol variation game after the end of the big hit 2R and after the end of the small hit is set to be the same display mode for the big hit 2R and the small hit. That is, when the big win 2R or the small win is won, it is concealed to the player which win is won and whether or not the probability variation state is given as the gaming state. Thus, the state where the current game state is concealed from the player is the concealment state, and the player is expected to be surely changed by making the game state unrecognizable by the concealment state. In the present embodiment, the mode for notifying the player that the gaming state is in a concealed state (the probability variation state may be given) is the special mode, and the player is informed that the state is in a concealed state. The mode that is not performed is the normal mode.

  Further, in this embodiment, the player enters the concealment state in which the game state is concealed at the time of the big hit 2R or the small hit, and at the same time, the variable display H informs the player that the concealment state has been entered by starting the special mode. It has come to be. In the special mode, it is informed that the current gaming state may be a probable change state (the fact that the probable change state is concealed), and a probable change state may be given by winning the jackpot 2R By entering the special mode, it is concealed that the probability variation state is given. Also, in the special mode, it is informed that the current gaming state may be a probable change state, so it is an entry into the special mode triggered by winning a small hit, and a probabilistic state is internally given. Even if not, the possibility of assigning a probable change state is given.

  In addition, the special mode is continuously executed until a predetermined number of symbol variation games that are a big hit during the special mode have elapsed. For this reason, the special mode may end even though the probability variation state is concealed in the concealed state. In this case, the notification that the state is the concealment state is terminated, but the concealment state for concealing the probability variation state is continued. That is, the end of the special mode and the end of the concealment state are not the same, and there is a normal mode that conceals the probability change state when it is in the state of probability change internally. Therefore, the player continues to have an expectation for the probable change state even after the special mode ends.

  Also, in this embodiment, the special mode entry trigger is the big hit 2R and small win wins, and the special mode entry probability in the normal state is 1/300, which is the win probability of the big hit 2R, and the small hit win probability It is 1/150 ((1/300) + (1/200)) which added 1/200. For this reason, compared with the case where the opportunity to enter the special mode is determined only for winning the jackpot 2R (1/600), the winning probability of the jackpot itself, the probability of entering the probability variation state, the jackpot 2R and the jackpot 15R allocation The probability of entering the special mode is increased to 1/150 without changing the rate. On the other hand, if the special mode entry probability is maintained at 1/150 and no small hit is provided, it is necessary to increase the big hit 2R winning probability. In such a case, if the winning probability of the jackpot 2R is increased, the winning ratio of the jackpot 15R with respect to the jackpot will be lowered, so that the winning probability of the jackpot 15R needs to be increased. As a result, it is necessary to increase the probability of winning the jackpot itself, which may impair the balance of the game.

  In the present embodiment, after the big hit and the small hit, the main CPU 30a that controls the big hit game and the small hit game, and performs the game state control for shifting the game state after the end of each game, and the special mode after the big hit 2R and the small hit The overall CPU 31a that executes the notification control for executing the control is a control means.

Next, the contents of control executed by the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) according to the effect control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the variable display H (special symbol display area H1 and decoration symbol) is displayed so that the symbol variation game is played with the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. The display contents of the display area H2) are controlled. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the symbol (special drawing and decorative drawing) instructed by the symbol designation command is fixedly displayed and the symbol variation game is terminated.

  At this time, when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern P1, the sub CPU 32a makes a big hit by the special drawing and the decorative drawing in the special drawing display region H1 of the variable display H and the decorative symbol display region H2. The symbol combination is confirmed and displayed. On the other hand, when the variation patterns specified in the variation pattern designation command are the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3, the sub CPU 32a displays the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol according to the special drawing in the special drawing display area H1 of the variable display H. The symbol combination is displayed, and a symbol combination (chance) different from the jackpot symbol combination by the decorative symbol is determined and displayed in the decorative symbol display area H2. When the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern for an outlier effect, the sub CPU 32a causes the special symbol display area H1 of the variable display H to display and display the symbol of the deviation according to the special diagram. The display symbol combination by the decorative drawing is displayed in a definite manner in the display area H2.

  Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the mode start command, the sub CPU 32a controls the variable display H in the display mode for the special mode. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variable display H other than in the special mode (in the normal mode) plays a symbol variation game with a background representing daytime (see FIG. 8A), and the display result of the symbol variation game When the chance stops as (determined display) (see FIG. 8B), the special mode is entered. In the variable display H in the special mode, a symbol variation game is played with a background representing midnight (see FIG. 8C).

  Then, the display mode of the variable display H changes from the daytime to the background in the middle of the night, thereby informing the player of the entry into the special mode. When the sub CPU 32a inputs a mode end command, the sub CPU 32a changes the display mode of the variable display H from midnight to the daytime background in order to end the special mode. Then, the display mode of the variable display H changes to a daytime background, thereby informing the player of the end of the special mode.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, when the big hit 2R or the small hit is given and the special mode is given, the transition state of the game state of the internal lottery will be described based on FIG. 7 and FIG. The display mode of the variable display H when entering the special mode will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 7, a game in the probability variation state is indicated as a high probability game, and a game in the non-probability variation state (normal state) is indicated as a low probability game.
In FIG. 8, “↓” in the special symbol display area H1 and the decorative symbol display area H2 indicates a state where the symbols are fluctuating. Further, FIG. 8A shows a display mode of the variable display H in the normal mode, and FIG. 8B shows a case where the chance eye is confirmed and displayed as a display result of the symbol variation game in the normal mode. The display mode of the variable display H is shown. FIG. 8C shows a display mode of the variable display H in the special mode. “Sun” indicates the background of the daytime, “Crescent moon” indicates the background of the night, and FIG. 8D shows a case where the chance eye is confirmed and displayed as the display result of the symbol variation game in the special mode. The display mode of the variable display H is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), when the chance stops during the normal mode, the variable display H provides a display effect as shown in FIG. 8 (a) → FIG. 8 (b) → FIG. 8 (c). Done. Further, when the chance stops during the special mode, the variable display H performs a display effect as shown in FIG. 8C → FIG. 8D → FIG. 8C. In this case, the variable display H becomes as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8D, and at the same time, the special winning opening 24 is opened twice (1.8 seconds), and then the special mode is entered.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the big hit 2R is won in the probability change state, the game state after the big hit 2R big hit game is a pattern in which the probability change state is continued. Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the big hit 2R is won in the non-probability changing state, the gaming state after the big hit 2R big hit game is a pattern in which the gaming state is promoted from the non-probability changing state to the probable changing state. Become. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7D, when a winning game is won in the probability changing state, the gaming state after the small winning game is a pattern in which the probability changing state is continued. Further, as shown in FIG. 7E, when a small hit is won in the non-probability changing state, the gaming state after the small hit game is a pattern in which the non-probability changing state is continued.

  In the present embodiment, the entry into the special mode may enter the special mode during the probability change state or the special mode during the normal state. As shown in FIGS. 7B and 7D, the special mode started during the probability change state is given a probability change state as the game state after the big hit game and the small hit game are finished. It will be. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 (c) and 7 (e), the special mode started during the normal state is given a probable change state and a normal state as the game state after the big hit game and the small hit game, respectively. Is done. For this reason, when entering the special mode in the normal state, the winning state 2R is won to shift to a state in which the probability variation state is concealed. In addition, although the probability variation state is not given by winning the small hit, the player is expected to have the probability variation state. In addition, when entering the special mode, the expectation to the probability variation state is given except for the special mode triggered by the small hit in the non-probability variation state. For this reason, when entering the special mode, there is a possibility that the probability variation state is concealed in the concealment state regardless of the entry timing.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A small hit is provided in addition to the big hit (big hit 15R and big hit 2R), and the main CPU 30a and the overall CPU 31a have the gaming state determined by the main CPU 30a after the end of the big hit 2R and the small hit is an uncertain change state. Or, it is informed by entering the special mode that it is a concealment state in which it is concealed whether it is a certain change state. For this reason, there are two types of triggers for starting the special mode (the trigger for entering the concealment state): big hit 2R and small hit. That is, by providing a small hit on the big hit (big hit 15R and big hit 2R), it is possible to increase the trigger for starting the special mode (increased the appearance rate of the secret state) by the winning amount of the big hit. Also, if the big hit (big hit 15R or big hit 2R) is won, whether the winning probability of the big hit 15R and big hit 2R will change from the low probability state to the high probability state as the gaming state after the big hit game for the big hit It is determined whether or not (whether or not to give a probability variation state). On the other hand, when winning a small hit, the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is determined as the gaming state after the end of the small hit game for the small hit. For this reason, since the gaming state is not changed after the small hitting game by the small hitting (the gaming state at the time of winning is continued), the gaming state is also changed (from the low probability state) even when the small hitting is newly provided. The ratio (changed to the high probability state) does not vary (same as compared to the case where the small hit is not provided). Further, even if a small hit is provided, it is possible to reduce control change points related to the big hit 15R and the big hit 2R, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the control burden related to the main CPU 30a. Therefore, the appearance rate of the concealment state that conceals the game state can be effectively increased without changing the winning ratio per first and second.

  (2) The display result of the symbol variation game when the big hit 15R is awarded (decorative symbol display region H2), and the display result of the symbol variation game when the big hit 2R and small bonus are awarded (decorative symbol display region H2) Was made different. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize which of the big hit 15R, the big hit 2R, and the small hit is won. That is, the player can recognize that there are a plurality of types (two types) of hits of different types (in this embodiment, there is a chance of acquiring a game ball and there is almost no chance of acquiring a game ball). it can.

  (3) Further, the display result when the big hit 2R is given and the display result when the big hit is given are set as a common display result (in this embodiment, a chance). For this reason, when entering the concealment state (special mode), it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize whether the entry trigger is a big hit 2R or a small hit. Therefore, when entering the concealment state (special mode) in the low probability state, the game state is changed from the low probability state to the high probability state (provided that the probability change state is given) with the entry. Expectations can be given to the player.

  (4) In the big hit 2R game and the small hit game, the big winning opening 24 is opened in a time when it is difficult to win a game ball with a short opening time of the big winning opening 24 as compared with the opening mode in the big hit 15R. For this reason, in the big hit 15R big hit game, the player is awarded a prize ball by winning the game ball to the big winning opening 24, while in the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game, the player wins a big winning hole. It is possible to make it difficult to obtain a prize ball by winning a game ball to 24. Therefore, the roles of the big hit 15R big hit game and the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game can be differentiated, and the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game can be positioned as an opportunity to enter a concealed state (special mode). .

  (5) The display result of the symbol variation game (decorative display of the decorative game) when the big hit 2R and the small hit are awarded is such that the symbols in all the rows are a combination of symbols different from the same type. For this reason, as a display result of the symbol variation game, when a combination of symbols whose symbols in all columns are different from the same type stops, it is possible to enter a concealed state (special mode). That is, in the symbol variation game, even when the big hit 15R is not given, the player has an expectation for the big hit 2R and the small hit, and the player has an expectation that the gaming state may be in a promiscuous state. be able to. Also, if you win the big hit 2R and the small win, the display result of the combination of symbols different from the same type in all rows will be displayed, so the player will notice that the big hit 2R and the small win Can be difficult. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a suddenness of entering the concealed state (special mode) and to emphasize the game characteristic of suddenly entering the concealed state (special mode).

  (6) The display result of the symbol variation game when the big hit 2R and the small hit are awarded (decision display of the decorative game) is a different symbol combination (chance) than the big hit symbol combination by the decorative drawing did. For this reason, when a symbol combination (chance) different from the symbol combination based on the decorative drawing is finalized as a final display result of the symbol variation game (decision display of the decorative game), the concealment state (special mode) Can rush into. In other words, it is possible to make the player have expectations that the gaming state may be in a probabilistic state all together from the display result of the deviation. In addition, when the big win 2R and the small win are won, the display result of the shift is displayed, so that it is difficult for the player to notice that the big hit 2R and the small win are won. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a suddenness of entering the concealed state (special mode) and to emphasize the game characteristic of suddenly entering the concealed state (special mode).

  (7) The effect contents of the case where the final display result of the symbol variation game is out of sync with the case of the big hit 2R and the small hit are made the same (the variation pattern for the outlier effect, the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3 And the same). For this reason, it is possible to provide a chance to enter a concealed state (special mode) after the end of the symbol variation game of the effect content that does not lead to the big hit 15R (they appear to be out of sight). In other words, in the case of entering the concealed state (special mode) from the content of the production that is out of sight, it is possible to perform the production with the player's intention. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by producing the intention.

  (8) In addition, the player can always be given a chance (a jackpot 15R and a special mode (expectation to a probable change state)) regardless of the effect of the symbol variation game. Therefore, in the symbol variation game, a plurality of chances can be given for each game, and a plurality of scenes can be created that give the player expectations.

  (9) The special mode for notifying that it is in a concealed state is continued until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) of the symbol variation game has elapsed, and the game is continued for a predetermined number of times. It can be expected that the state is a probabilistic state. Therefore, the willingness to continue the game of the player in the concealment state can be improved.

  (10) In the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game, the time that the big prize opening 24 is opened is extremely short compared to the big hit 15R, so the player notices that the big prize opening 24 is opened Can be difficult. Therefore, at the time of winning the big hit 2R and the small hit, it is difficult for the player to notice that the big hit 2R and the small hit are being performed, and the suddenness of the start of the special mode can be emphasized.

  (11) In addition, in the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game, the opening / closing operation of the big winning door 23 in a manner in which the player cannot recognize whether the big hit 2R or the small win is won (large The winning opening 24 is opened). For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize which of the big hit 2R and the small hit is triggered when the special mode is entered. Therefore, at the time of entering the special mode, the special mode can be executed without lowering the expectation that the player has in giving the probability change state.

  (12) If the big win 15R is won during the special mode, even if the probability change state is not given and the selection is accidental, the player may think that the probability change state may have been given. it can. In other words, the entry into the special mode can be associated with the success of the jackpot. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the player's willingness to continue the game in the special mode by adding a new game characteristic that the entry into the special mode leads to a big hit regardless of whether the short-time state is given or not. it can.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-In embodiment, you may determine the winning probability of the small hit by the small hit determination as 1/100, for example. Increasing the chance of winning a small hit increases the chance to enter the special mode and increases the appearance rate of the special mode.

  In the embodiment, the jackpot 2R may be provided with a probability variation jackpot that gives a probability variation state as a gaming state after the jackpot game of the jackpot 2R, and a non-probability variation jackpot that is not imparted with a probability variation state. If you do not change the winning probability (1/300) of the big hit itself, you can change the ratio of the probabilistic big hit and the non-probable big hit in the big hit 2R even if you set the non-probable big hit in the big hit 2R. By providing, the appearance rate of a secret state can be raised. In this case, a special figure for big hit 2R for non-probable big hit is added.

  In the embodiment, the opening mode of the big winning opening 24 is that the winning time of the big winning opening 24, the interval time, and the number of opening of the big winning opening 24 are completely different for the big hit game of 2R and the small hit game. In the same manner, the special winning opening 24 may be opened in the same opening mode. In this case, at the time of winning the big hit 2R or the small hit, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing the entry trigger of the special mode.

  -In the embodiment, the opening mode of the big winning opening 24 of the big hit 2R and the small hit game is, for example, the opening time of the single big winning opening 24 is set to 0.2 seconds and the interval time is set to 0.6 seconds. The number of times may be three. That is, the opening time, the interval time, and the number of opening times of the one big winning opening 24 may be arbitrarily changed. When changing the mode, the time required for the small hit game (the time from the opening of the first big winning opening 24 to the closing of the third big winning opening) is the same as the time required for the big hit 2R big hit game. It should have become. The time required for the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game may be changed as long as it is difficult for the player to distinguish the difference. In addition, in the big hit 2R big hit game and the small hit game, the number of times the big winning opening 24 is opened is made the same.

  In the embodiment, the time required for the big hit 2R big hit game or the small hit game may be set as short as 1.0 second, for example. By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the start of the big hit 2R or the small hit, and it is possible to further emphasize the suddenness of the rush to the concealed state (special mode).

  In the embodiment, when the big hit 2R or the small hit is won and the big hit 2R or the small hit is given, the symbol combination of the big hit may be displayed as a display result of the decorative game in the symbol variation game. . Further, when the big hit 15R, the big hit 2R, and the small hit are given, the same big hit symbol combination may be used as the display result of the decorative game in the symbol variation game. According to this configuration, when the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and displayed, it is possible to attract the player's interest to which win (big hit 15R, big hit 2R and small hit) is given, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Can be improved.

  In the embodiment, during the special mode, a continuous lottery may be performed to determine whether or not to continue the special mode in every symbol variation game. In this case, in the special mode in which the time reduction state is given, the time reduction state is continuously given if the continuous lottery is lost. In such a case, even if the special mode is terminated by continuous lottery, if the probability variation state is internally internally, the concealment state of the probability variation state is continuously performed. In this way, after entering the special mode, even if the special mode is terminated by dropping to the continuous lottery, the player can have an expectation that it is concealed to be in a probable state. it can.

  In the embodiment, at the end of the special mode, the concealment state indicating whether or not the probability variation state is released may be released to notify whether or not the probability variation state exists. In this way, when entering the special mode, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to continue the game until the end of the special mode. That is, the game can be actively continued by the player until the end of the special mode.

  -In embodiment, you may make it conceal whether or not to give a probability variation state even after the end of the big hit 15R. And even if the big hit 15R is won, the special mode may be entered. In this case, in the symbol combination based on the decorative drawing, the player is prevented from recognizing whether the jackpot 15R per probability variation jackpot or the jackpot 15R per non-probability variation jackpot. That is, a symbol combination by a decorative drawing is provided for the probability variation big hit and the non-probability big hit.

  In the embodiment, when a big hit 2R or a small hit is awarded, a symbol dedicated to the chance eye is provided as a chance item, and a symbol combination based on the symbol based on the symbol (three exclusive symbols are displayed) May be used as a trigger for entering the special mode. In this way, the symbol dedicated to the chance eye is displayed in the decorative symbol display area H2 during the symbol variation game, so that the player can have an expectation for the big hit 2R or the small hit (special mode entry).

  In the embodiment, when the big hit 2R or the small hit is given, the chance combination may correspond to a combination of symbols (eg, [223]) out of a plurality of types of decorations. By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the winning of 2R. In addition, by entering a special mode from a combination of out-of-order symbols by a plurality of types of decorations, the player can be expected in a symbol variation game that leads to out-of-game. Further, the expectation for the big hit 2R (the degree that the big hit 2R is determined by the big hit lottery) may be changed for each chance. For example, when [123] is fixedly displayed as a symbol combination by a decorative drawing, it may be determined that the jackpot is 2R (entering the special mode).

  -In embodiment, you may make it comprise a chance eye with the symbol combination which forms reach. In this case, when the reach is formed, the player can have an expectation for the big hit, and even if the result is lost, the player can have an expectation for entering the special mode.

  In the embodiment, the variation pattern for the offending effect, the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3 may have different effect times and effect contents. In addition, when the display result of the symbol variation game is a chance, a dedicated effect for deriving the chance may be provided. In this way, if the player may be given a probable change state after the current game, expectation can be given from the game.

  In the embodiment, the entry into the special mode and the effect during the special mode may be executed by the sound effect by the decoration lamp 16 or the sound effect by the speaker 17. In addition, a combination of the variable display H, the decorative lamp 16, and the speaker 17 may be used to enter the special mode and produce the effect during the special mode.

  In the embodiment, the overall control board 31 may not be provided. The main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 or the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 may determine the symbol combination by the decorative drawing as well as the symbol combination by the special drawing. Further, the main CPU 30a may execute notification control that instructs the start and end of the special mode.

  In the embodiment, the specified number of rounds of jackpot 15R may be changed to, for example, 7 times or 8 times. Further, for example, the prescribed round number of 15R of big hit may be 7 times and the prescribed round number of 2R of big hit may be 2 times. Further, the specified number of rounds of jackpot 2R may be changed to, for example, once or three times or more.

  In the embodiment, the small hit determination may not be performed in the probability changing state. In the probability variation state, the winning probability of the big hit (15R of big hit and 2R of big hit) is higher than the winning probability of the small hit, so the appearance ratio of the small hit is lower than that in the normal state. For this reason, even when the small hit is not determined by the small hit determination, the appearance rate of the secret state (special mode) in the normal state can be increased. Further, in such a case, the control burden on the main CPU 30a in the probability variation state can be reduced by not performing the small hit determination.

Next, the technical idea grasped from the embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) The display result of the symbol variation game is composed of a combination of symbols in a plurality of columns, and the winning display result when the first winning is given is a combination in which the symbols in all columns are the same type of symbols. The winning display result when the second hit and the third hit are given is a combination of symbols in which symbols in all columns are different from symbols of the same type. The gaming machine described in 1.

  (B) The symbol variation game in which the winning display result to which the second winning and the third winning is given is different from the winning display result to which the first winning is given, and the symbols in a specific column Is a game machine described in the technical idea (a), wherein the game is performed with the same content as the symbol variation game that is not a combination of reach that is the same type of symbol.

  (C) The control means terminates the notification control when the predetermined number of symbol variation games are performed after the second winning game and the third winning game are finished, or the notification control is performed. A continuous lottery of whether or not to continue is performed, and the notification control is terminated when the continuous lottery is not won, and the technical idea (a), The gaming machine according to any one of (b).
