Hereinafter, each element will be described in detail.

  First, the hold information management means 120 has hold information recording means 120a for recording hold information (for example, a winning random number and a variable content determination random number related to the hold).

  The winning determination means 130 is a winning for acquiring a winning random number when a winning detection signal is received from the start port 4 in a situation where the random number acquisition condition is satisfied (for example, a situation where the holding ball has not reached the upper limit). A random number obtaining means 131, a winning determination table 132 to be referred to when determining whether or not the winning random number is a winning, a special winning opening determining means 133 for determining a special winning opening to be opened during a special game, Flag generating means 134 for generating a flag as to which of the big winning mouths to open during the game.

  The special game execution means 140 determines whether or not the special game may be executed (specifically, whether or not any special winning opening release flag is generated). have.

  The symbol display content determining unit 150 includes a variation content determining unit 151 for determining the variation content of the special symbol and a stop symbol determining unit 152 for determining the stop symbol of the special symbol. Here, the variation content determination means 151 receives the winning detection signal from the start port 4 in a situation where the random number acquisition condition is satisfied (for example, a situation where the reserved ball has not reached the upper limit), Fluctuation content determination random number acquisition means 151a for acquiring the fluctuation content, and a fluctuation content determination table 151b referred to when determining the fluctuation content based on the fluctuation content determination random number. Further, the stop symbol determination means 152 receives information on which big winning opening is opened in the special game when the determination of the special game transfer is confirmed, and determines the winning determination table 132 (this table will be described in detail later). The winning prize opening information acquisition means 152a for acquiring with reference to the above description, and when the special game transition is confirmed, the winning prize is referred to when determining the winning stop symbol based on the winning prize opening information. And a stop symbol determination table 152b.

  Next, an example of the flow of processing performed on the main controller 100 side in the processing according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 7 is a main flowchart showing a flow of general processing performed by the main controller 100. As shown in FIG. 7, the main controller 100 loops the special game determination random number acquisition processing 100, special game transition determination / special symbol variation display processing 200, special game execution processing 300, and prize ball payout processing 400. It is done. Then, when the conditions for each process are satisfied, the process is performed. When the conditions are not satisfied, the process is skipped. Here, the prize ball payout process 400 is a predetermined number of prize ball payout processes performed by the prize ball payout control means 180 upon receiving a prize at all the prize winning openings (starting opening, large prize winning opening, etc.).

  Next, the special game determination random number acquisition processing 100 according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. First, at step 102, the start opening winning determination means 110 determines whether or not the start opening 4 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 102, in step 104, the hold information management means 120 refers to the hold information recording means 120a, and determines whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 104, in step 106, the winning random number acquisition means 131 acquires the winning random number, and the fluctuation content determination random number acquisition means 151a acquires the fluctuation content determination random number, and the next process {special game transition determination / The process proceeds to the special symbol variation display process 200}. In the case of No in steps 102 and 104, the process proceeds to the next process {special game transition determination / special symbol variation display process 200}.

  Next, the special game transition determination / special symbol variation display process 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 202, the hit determination means 130 determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied, specifically whether or not a reserved ball exists, whether or not the previous symbol variation has ended, It is determined whether or not a special game is in progress. If YES in step 202, the winning determination means 130 determines in step 204 whether or not the winning random number is “winning” with reference to the winning determination table 132. In the case of Yes in step 204, in step 206, the big winning opening determination means 133 refers again to the winning determination table 132 and determines which big winning opening is selected based on the winning random number.

  Here, the hit determination table 132 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 10 (1), the left column is the winning random number (1-315) acquired, the middle column is whether the winning random number is winning (O) or not (X), and the right column is winning. Each of the big winning mouths to be opened in the case is shown. For example, if the winning random number is 1, it is “win”, indicating that the first grand prize winning opening 5-1 is open during the special game, and if the winning random number is 4, it is “winning”. , Indicates that the second big prize opening 5-2 is open during the special game, and when the winning random number is 7, it is “disappearing”. Also does not open).

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 9, after determining “winning” and determining “open prize opening to be opened”, in step 208, the symbol display content determination means 150 changes the change content based on the winning random number and the change content determination random number. Is determined, and the winning stop symbol is determined with reference to the winning symbol determination table 152b based on the determined winning prize information. Here, the winning stop symbol is determined according to the special winning opening to be opened. For example, the stop symbol indicates or indicates the position of the big winning opening to be opened.

  Here, the winning stop symbol determination table 152b will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 10 (2), the left column shows the pattern of the winning stop symbol, and the second column shows either the first grand prize winning port 5-1 or the second big winning port 5-2 during the special game. Indicates whether to be released. The third column shows various display contents of the stop symbol corresponding to the winning prize, and the right column shows the probability of opening the winning prize when the display content is shown (reliability level). ). More specifically, for example, when it is determined that the first big prize opening 5-1 is to be opened, one of the patterns 1 to 4 is selected. At this time, when pattern 1 is selected, the display contents of the special symbol for stopping and stopping are “the right two and the middle one are lit” (showing the position of the first grand prize winning opening 5-1 shown in FIG. 4). In this case, the reliability that the first grand prize winning opening 5-1 opens during the special game is 100%. When the pattern 3 is selected, the display contents of the special stop symbol are “the left two, the middle one, and the right two are lit” (the first big prize opening 5-1 and the second big shown in FIG. 5). In this case, the degree of reliability that the first big prize opening 5-1 opens during the special game is 50%. When the pattern 4 is selected, the display content of the special stop symbol does not display or suggest the special winning opening to be opened, and in this case, the reliability varies from 0 to 100.

  Here, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, an example of a display mode of the winning stop special symbol will be specifically described. FIG. 3 is a display example (an example of 100% reliability) of the special symbol display unit 2-1 when “second big prize opening” is selected as the big prize opening opened in step 206. The second big prize opening 5-2 is located on the right side of the image display device 2 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, in the special symbol display section 2-1, the left two and the middle segment of the seven segments are turned on to make a right arrow shape (T-shape). The opening of the mouth 5-2 is made obvious to the player. FIG. 4 is a display example (an example of 100% reliability) of the special symbol display unit 2-1 when “first big prize opening” is selected as the big prize opening opened in step 206. The first grand prize opening 5-1 is located on the left side of the image display device 2 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, in the special symbol display section 2-1, by turning on the right two segments and the middle one segment of the seven segments, a left arrow shape (T-shape) is obtained, and the first big prize opening 5- The opening of 1 is obvious to the player. FIG. 5 is a display example (an example of 50% reliability) of the special symbol display unit 2-1 when “first big prize opening” is selected as the big prize opening opened in step 206. The first grand prize opening 5-1 is located on the left side of the image display device 2 as described above (see FIG. 1). However, unlike the case of FIG. 3, by turning on the left and right four segments and the middle one segment of the seven segments, the two arrows pointing left and right are overlapped (H-shaped). It makes the player understand at a glance that there is a possibility of either the winning opening 5-1 or the second major winning opening 5-2. As described above, in step 208 of FIG. 9, the stop special symbol is based on the determined special winning slot information so that the special symbol for stopping may indicate or indicate the open special winning symbol as described above. It is a reason to decide.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 9, in the case of No in step 204, that is, when the winning random number is “out”, in step 210, the symbol display content determining means 150 performs special processing based on the winning random number and the variable content determining random number. The stop symbol and the variation content regarding the symbol are determined. In step 208 and step 210, the symbol display content determination unit 150 also determines the variation content related to the decorative symbols managed on the sub side and the information related to the stop symbols. Then, in step 212, the decorative symbol display content information transmitting means 170 transmits information on the stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the determined decorative symbol to the sub (display control device 180) side. Next, in step 214, the special symbol display control means 160 controls the special symbol display unit 2-1 to start the variation of the special symbol with the determined variation content. Then, the special symbol display control means 160 sets a predetermined time (a variation time related to the symbol variation) in the timer 161. In step 218, the special symbol display control means 160 determines whether or not the fluctuation end time has been reached with reference to the timer 161. If YES in step 218, then in step 220, the special symbol display control means 160 controls the special symbol display unit 2-1 to display the determined stop special symbol. Next, in step 222, the decorative symbol display content information transmission means 170 transmits again the information regarding the stop symbol for the determined decorative symbol to the sub (display control device 180) side. Next, in step 224, the flag generation means 134 determines whether or not a special stop symbol is hit. In the case of Yes in step 224, in step 226, the flag generating means 134 determines whether or not the grand prize opening to be opened is the “first big prize opening”. If the “big prize winning opening flag” is turned on, and if “No”, the “second big winning opening opening flag” is turned on in step 230, and the process proceeds to the next process (special game execution process 300). In the case of No in step 202, step 218, and step 224, the process proceeds to the next process (special game execution process 300).

  Next, the special game execution process 300 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 302, the special game execution determination means 141 determines whether or not the release flag of the first big prize opening 5-1 is on. In the case of Yes in step 302, in step 304, the special game executing means 140 drives the solenoid of the first big prize opening 5-1 to open the first big prize opening 5-1. In step 306, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls have been won. If yes, in step 308, the special game executing means 140 selects the first game The drive of the solenoid of the grand prize winning port 5-1 is stopped, and the first grand prize winning port 5-1 is closed. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 306, in Step 310, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed, and in the case of Yes, proceeds to Step 308. Next, in step 312, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not the round (for example, 15 rounds) set in the special game has ended. In the case of Yes in step 312, in step 314, the special game executing means 140 ends the special game, turns off the first big prize opening release flag, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 400). To do. Note that the process proceeds to the next process also in the case of No in steps 310 and 312.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 302, in step 316, the special game execution determination unit 141 determines whether or not the release flag of the second big prize opening 5-2 is on. In the case of Yes in step 316, in step 318, the special game executing means 140 drives the solenoid of the second big prize opening 5-2 to open the second big prize opening 5-2. In step 320, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, five balls) of game balls has been won. If yes, in step 322, the special game executing means 140 The drive of the solenoid of the big prize opening 5-2 is stopped and the second big prize opening 5-2 is closed. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 320, in step 324, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed, and in the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step 322. Next, in step 326, the special game executing means 140 determines whether or not the round (for example, 7 rounds) set in the special game has ended. In the case of Yes in step 326, in step 328, the special game executing means 140 ends the special game, turns off the second big prize opening release flag, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 400). To do. Note that the process proceeds to the next process also in the case of No in step 316, step 324, and step 326.

  Next, the decorative symbol display process performed on the sub side will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 502, the display control device 200 determines whether or not the stop symbol related to the decorative symbol and the information related to the variation content are received from the main control device 100 side. In the case of Yes in step 502, in step 504, the display control device 200 controls the decorative symbol display unit 2-2 of the image display device 2 to start the decorative symbol variable display according to the information. In step 506, the display control device 200 determines whether or not a confirmed stop symbol related to the decorative symbol has been received from the main control device 100 side. In the case of Yes in step 506, in step 508, the display control device 200 controls the decorative symbol display unit 2-2 of the image display device 2 to display the fixed symbol of the decorative symbol according to the information.

  Next, the operation of the best mode will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the player operates the launching device 9 to launch a game ball into the game area 1. And when a game ball wins in the starting port 4, each symbol of the special symbol display unit 2-1 and the decorative symbol display unit 2-2 on the symbol display device 2 starts to be displayed in a variable manner. When the special symbol stops in the “predetermined mode”, the special game transition decision is made. Here, FIG. 3 shows an example of the “predetermined mode”. Since the display is in the “predetermined mode”, the special game transfer decision is confirmed and the position of the special winning opening to be opened in the special game is shown. According to the “predetermined mode” in FIG. 3, since the display mode is shown on the right side, the player recognizes that the right side big winning opening (second big winning port 5-2) is opened during the special game. become. Then, after the transition to the special game, the right second big prize opening 5-2 is opened as indicated by the stop special symbol. In the best mode, when the first grand prize opening 5-1 is opened, 15 rounds of ten counts per round are continued, whereas when the second big prize opening 5-2 is opened. Are configured so that the player's advantageous state differs depending on which one is released, such as only 5 rounds per round.

  According to this best mode, a special display device is provided separately by devising the display contents of special symbols that exist in the past in pachinko gaming machines having a plurality of large winning openings that can be opened in a special game. In addition, since it is possible to notify the player about which big prize opening will be in an open state before the transition to the special game, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, since the special symbol is directly connected to the special game, the player's attention is high, and the special symbol is converted into information that displays or suggests the big winning opening to be opened. There is also an effect that it is possible to reduce the risk that the player misses the information.

  Furthermore, since the display method is very easy to understand, such as the position of the special winning opening and the display or suggestion of the content associated with it, the information on the special winning opening that is more accurately opened is transmitted to the player. It becomes possible.

  Furthermore, since the degree of the state advantageous to the player differs depending on the selected winning prize opening, there is an effect that it is possible to make the player pay attention to the display content of the specific symbol.

  In the best mode, the special symbol display section 2-1 has 7 segments, but the case of dots is shown in FIGS. The special symbol display part 2-1 (2) of FIG. 13 shows the left first big prize opening 5-1, and the special symbol display part 2-1 (2) of FIG. The winning opening 5-2 is shown. Further, FIG. 15 shows a case where the special symbol display unit 2-1 is a character (drum type). The special symbol display section 2-1 (3) in FIG. 15 is described as “Aiming for the left”, which indicates that the left first grand prize winning opening 5-1 is opened during the special game. ing.

  FIG. 16 shows another modification. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example, the special winning opening that is more advantageous to the player can be changed for each round during the special game. That is, for example, in the first round, the winning prize opening 5-1 (see FIG. 1) is more advantageous than the winning prize opening 5-2 (see FIG. 1) (for example, when the former wins a prize) The number of payouts is 15, whereas the number of payouts when winning the latter is 7, or the former is closed at 10 counts, whereas the latter is closed at 1 count.
