Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of generating a special game that is advantageous to a player when the result of an auxiliary game is a predetermined special result.

  Conventionally, as a gaming machine, for example, a pachinko game provided with a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols on a game board, and performing a variation display game as an auxiliary game by variably displaying the plurality of symbols. The machine is known.

  In the above-described variation display game, a symbol sequence composed of a plurality of symbols is changed so that each symbol moves from top to bottom in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas formed on the variation display device. When the predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display game, the variable display in each variable display area is stopped in the order of, for example, left, right, and middle, and each predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed. A mode is to be derived.

  The game board is provided with a start winning opening through which a game ball can be won. When the game ball wins the start winning opening, the variable display game is started. In addition, during the period when the variable display game cannot be started immediately, such as while the variable display game is already being played or during the occurrence of a special game (while waiting for the start of a new auxiliary game) A function of temporarily storing the right to start (start) the variable display game within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) until the game ball is won until the variable display game is executable Are provided to prevent the winning of the game ball from entering the start winning opening from becoming invalid for the execution of the variable display game.

  Then, when the variable display game is over, each symbol that is stopped and displayed in each of the plurality of variable display areas is displayed with a special result mode (for example, “7, 7, 7”, etc.). When formed, a special game is generated as a game value given to the player.For example, the variable winning device provided on the game board is converted to an open state for a predetermined period and the predetermined continuation condition is established By repeating the conversion to the open state, the player can acquire a large amount of game balls.

  By the way, when a special game occurs, if the execution mode is the same every time, there is a problem that the game is likely to be monotonous. A gaming machine that can generate special games of different values by changing the upper limit number of repetitions is also considered. However, it has not been possible to solve the problem that the game content becomes monotonous.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of generating special games having different values, making it possible to diversify the game contents and enhance the fun of the game. The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention described in claim 1
A special game generating means capable of generating a special game advantageous to a player when the auxiliary game is performed based on establishment of a predetermined condition and the result of the auxiliary game becomes a predetermined special result, and the special game is provided In a gaming machine capable of generating a specific game that is advantageous for the player to control the next special game after the special game ends,
A normally variable winning device having an opening / closing member that can be converted into an open state and a closed state and capable of starting the auxiliary game based on winning of a game ball;
A start storage means for temporarily storing a start right of the auxiliary game when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device in a state of waiting for the start of a new auxiliary game;
First and fluctuation winning device provided on the upper side than the usual variations winning equipment has a first movable member that can be converted to an open state and a closed state,
It has a second movable member that can be converted into an open state and a closed state, and is provided below the normal variable winning device, and can give more game value to the player than the first variable winning device. A second variable winning device,
With
The specific game is a game state in which an opportunity for the opening / closing member of the normal variation winning device to be changed to an open state is increased compared to before the end of the special game,
The special game generating means includes a first special game for converting the first movable member in the first variable winning device to an open state as a special game having different values, and a second in the second variable winning device. A second special game for converting the movable member of the second to the open state, and a different value special game generating means capable of generating,
When the first special game is executed as compared to the case where the second special game is executed, the game ball is placed at a position where the winning rate of the game ball to the normally variable winning device is lowered during the special game. The first variable prize-winning device is disposed;
The different value special game generation means, before SL when the special game of a and last in a particular game becomes the special results in the auxiliary game within a specific number after the end, generates the second special game It is characterized by letting.

  Here, the gaming machines include pachinko gaming machines, arrangement ball gaming machines, bullet ball gaming machines such as sparrow ball gaming machines, pachislot machines or slot machines. A special game is a game in which a large number of game media (game value) can be easily obtained compared to a normal game (in a game other than a special game, including a normal game, a specific game, a RAM clear state, etc.). For example, there are a state in which a large winning opening (also referred to as a special variable winning device) in the first type pachinko gaming machine is opened, a state in which rights are generated in the third type pachinko gaming machine, and the like. An auxiliary game refers to a game that is involved in determining the occurrence of a special game, such as a special variation display game in a first type pachinko gaming machine. A special variation display game is, for example, a symbol sequence composed of a plurality of symbols in a plurality of variation display areas formed on a special symbol display device in connection with winning of a game ball at a start winning opening. It is performed by changing the display so that each symbol moves from top to bottom, and when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the special change display game, the change display of each change display area is stopped in a predetermined order. There is one that derives a result mode by stopping and displaying a predetermined symbol. The special symbol display device may be a single device such as a liquid crystal display device, a CRT (cathode ray tube) display device, a display device in which these devices and a large number of light emitting elements are arranged, and a mechanical type using a rotating drum. A combination with a display device or the like may be used as long as the device can play a special variation display game. The start winning opening includes both a type that allows game balls to flow into the back side of the game board and a gate type that allows game balls to pass only on the game board.

  In addition, when a special game occurs when a specific condition is met, for example, when the result of an auxiliary game (special variation display game) is a special result, the number of the odd-numbered symbols that constitute the special result is For example, when the occurrence of a special game is determined, another game is played and the result is in a specific state. As a specific game, for example, the chance that the opening / closing member of the normal variation winning device is converted to the open state is increased (for example, the number of times of conversion to the open state when the win is derived once in the normal variation display game is 1). To 3 times), or by increasing the period during which the opening and closing member is converted to the open state (for example, changing from 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds), to the normally variable winning device as the start winning opening There is a game ball that is easy to start and a start winning facilitating state is generated. In addition, the probability of occurrence of a special game is increased (for example, the probability is increased from 1/300 to 1/50), and the probability of occurrence of a normal variation display game is increased (for example, 1/10 to 9 / (The probability increases to 10) The fluctuation time of the normal figure probability variation state and the normal variation display game is shortened compared to the normal game (during a game other than a specific game state such as a special game, a specific game, or a RAM clear state) ( For example, there is a normal time short state in which the chance of the normally variable winning device being opened to the open state per unit time is increased by shortening from 30 seconds to 5 seconds). Note that the specific game may be performed by combining any of the plurality of states described above. The specific game includes both a pattern in which a time limit is set by the number of times and time, and a pattern that continues until a special game is generated a predetermined number of times (for example, once).

The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1,
The first prize ball is based on the winning of the game ball to the first variable winning device, and the second prize is larger than the first prize ball based on the winning of the game ball to the second variable winning device. Each ball can be given,
The different value special game generation means controls the generation of the first special game and the second special game, and determines the number of game balls that a player can acquire without changing the upper limit number of repetitions of the special game. It is characterized by being changeable .

In the gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, even if the first special game occurs, the game machine can be changed from the middle of the special game to the second special game based on establishment of a predetermined game condition. it may be so that with a special game value change means. As a result, even if the first special game occurs, it is possible to leave a sense of expectation for the second special game and prevent the player from being discouraged when the first special game occurs. .

According to the first aspect of the present invention, different special games can be generated by the different value special game generating means, so that the game contents can be further diversified and the interest can be enhanced. In addition, since the variable winning device that is in the open state changes between the first and second special games, the values of the first and second special games can be reliably made different, and the first and second special games can be changed. It is also possible to clearly notify the 2 special games.
In addition, since it is possible to generate a specific game, it is possible to generate a more advantageous state for the player, and the different value special game generating means is a specific number of times during the specific game and after the last special game is completed The second movable member of the second variable prize winning device that can give more game value to the player than the first variable prize winning device is converted to an open state when a special result is obtained in the auxiliary game within In order to generate the second special game, it is possible to increase the expectation for the occurrence of the next special game due to the occurrence of the specific game, and to increase the expectation that the next special game will become the second special game. Can do.

It is also possible to change the number of game balls that a player can acquire by changing the upper limit number of special games, but in such a case, when a special game with low value occurs However, according to the invention according to claim 2, when a special game with a low value occurs , the special game will end in a short period of time and the player cannot fully enjoy the special game. However, since the period can be kept unchanged, the special game can be fully enjoyed. In addition, since the variable winning device that is in the open state changes between the first and second special games, the first and second special games can be clearly notified .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a gaming board of a pachinko gaming machine exemplified as an embodiment of the gaming machine according to the present invention.

  In the game area 1a surrounded by the guide rails 2 of the game board 1, there are ordinary figure start gates 18, 18, a special symbol (special figure) display device 4, a normal symbol (common figure) display device 7, and a normal variation display game. As a result of the above, the open / close members 9a, 9a are opened (a state advantageous for the player) and closed (a disadvantageous state for the player). A first variable winning device (first game) for performing a cycle game that changes from a closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to an open state (a state advantageous to the player) depending on the result of the game) Special variable winning device) 5, as in the case of the first variable winning device 5, the state where the big winning opening (second winning port) 6 b is closed depending on the result of the variable display game (special variable display game) (for the player) Bad ), A second variable winning device (second special variable winning device) 6 for performing a cycle game that is converted from an open state (a state advantageous to the player), a general winning port 8,..., Side lamps 12, 12 , A hitting ball direction changing member 14 called a windmill, a number of obstacle nails 10,. An out hole 13 for collecting the out ball is provided at the center of the lowermost end of the game area 1a.

  The normal symbol display device (ordinary symbol display device) 7 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment type LED and the like, and a variable display game (for example, identification information such as symbols, numbers, symbols, etc.) is variably displayed. It is possible to play a normal variation display game). Here, the normal symbol display device 7 is provided integrally with the normal variation winning device 9. Further, at the lower part of the normal symbol display device 7, the number of unprocessed times (starting) in which the game ball is won in the normal figure starting gates 18, 18 (ordinary starting prize) and the normal variation display game is not processed. A general-purpose start memory display (general-purpose memory display) 7a for displaying the memory number) is provided. In this case, the upper limit of the usual start memory is four, and the usual figure start memory display 7a is composed of four LEDs.

  The normal variation winning device 9 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 9a, 9a. The opening / closing members 9a, 9a are normally closed at an interval that allows one game ball to flow in (a disadvantageous state for the player). ), But when a predetermined result mode (for example, a winning result mode such as “7”) is displayed as a result of the variable display game (ordinary variable display game) in the normal symbol display device 7, When the normal variation display game is hit, a state in which the game ball is likely to flow into the normal variation prize winning device 9 by opening a solenoid for general electric power (not shown) to be reversed to “C” (advantageous for the player) State). The normal variation winning device 9 of this embodiment also serves as a special winning start opening for giving a start condition for the special variation display game based on the winning of a game ball, and has a start winning opening sensor 9b in its inside (winning area). (FIG. 2). Further, in the general figure start gate 18, a normal figure start gate sensor 7b (FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general figure start gate 18 is provided. .. (FIG. 2) are arranged inside each general winning award port 8,... (Winning area) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning award port 8,. Yes.

  The special symbol display device 4 includes a display unit 4a composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD). The display unit 4a can change its display state based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. Here, based on the winning of a game ball to the normal variable winning device (special drawing starting winning port) 9, Special symbols (for example, identification information such as symbols, numbers, symbols, etc.) can be variably displayed. As shown in FIG. 3A, the display unit 4a has a plurality of display areas 10a, 10b, and 10c, and a series of symbols are sequentially displayed in the display areas, and then stopped. By doing so, it is possible to display a variable display game (special variable display game) as an auxiliary game related to the occurrence of a big hit game (special game).

  Further, in this embodiment, during the period when the next special variation display game cannot be started immediately (for example, while the special variation display game (auxiliary game) is being played or during the occurrence of the special game) When the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 9 that also serves as a special figure starting winning opening during the state of waiting for the start of the auxiliary game), it is started until the next special variation display game becomes executable The storage means (in this case, the game control device 20 corresponds) as a start right for waiting for the execution (start) of the special variable display game (auxiliary game) to win the game ball to the normal variable winning device 9 It can be temporarily stored. The normal variation winning device 9 of this embodiment is a type of starting winning opening that allows game balls to flow into the back side of the game board 1, and has a starting winning opening sensor 9b (FIG. 2) in the inside (winning area). And a winning of the game ball is detected by the start winning port sensor 9b. Further, here, the start right can be stored within a predetermined upper limit number of memories, and even if more than the upper limit number of game balls are won in the normal variable winning device 9 during the period, the start right is stored. Is not allowed to exceed the upper limit.

  Then, on the upper part of the special symbol display device 4, a start is performed in which the number of unprocessed times (the number of stored start rights) in which the game ball is won in the normal variation winning device 9 and the special variation display game is unprocessed is displayed. A memory display 4b is provided. In this embodiment, the start memory display 4b is composed of 13 LEDs (or from the time the RAM clear switch is pressed until the current special game occurs), but the start right memory is stored. The upper limit number is four, and the maximum number of LEDs that can be lit by the start memory indicator 4b is four. Each time the start memory is incremented by 1, one LED is turned on, and every time the start memory is consumed, one LED is turned off.

  Further, the start storage means (in this case, the game control device 20 corresponds) in this embodiment indicates the upper limit number of start right storage when the special game is generated (in the game other than the special game). Including a starting memory upper limit increasing means (in this case, included in the game control device 20), which is increased (in this case, 13) than in a normal game, a specific game, a RAM clear state, etc.) When the upper limit of the starting right is increased, the number of LEDs that can be lit on the starting memory display 4b is 13 at the maximum. Here, the upper limit of the starting right is increased in both cases of the first special game and the second special game described later. Here, the start memory upper limit increasing means increases the memory upper limit of the start right only during a special game (during a big hit game). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special game satisfies a specific condition. In some cases, the upper limit number of memory of the start right may be increased during a specific game that can be generated after the special game ends.

  In addition, when returning the upper limit of the starting right increased during the big hit game (during special game) to the normal upper limit after the big hit game is over, the upper limit is gradually increased according to the start right being consumed. Is going to be reduced. That is, when the number of memories is full during the big hit game, the upper limit is set to 12 when the number of memories is subtracted to 12 by execution of the special variable display game after the big hit game. After that, the same process is repeatedly performed according to the execution of the special variation display game, thereby returning to the original upper limit number of four. Therefore, even if the next start prize is generated when the number of memories is subtracted from 13 to 12 by the execution of the special variable display game after the big hit game is finished, the start prize is not reduced to 13 in number. To disable. Further, when the number of memories is 7 or the like and the upper limit is not reached during the big hit game, the same upper limit number is subtracted from the seven stored numbers. Therefore, even if the number of memories that has not reached the upper limit at the time of the big hit game is over, the next start winning is invalidated at the time of the big hit game and the number of stored is not made eight.

  As described above, in this embodiment, two variable winning devices (special variable winning devices) are provided. Here, the two special variable prize-winning devices are arranged vertically below the normal variable prize-winning device 9, and the upper side is the first variable prize-winning device (first special variable prize-winning device) 5 and the bottom The side is the second variable winning device (second special variable winning device) 6.

  The first variable winning device (first special variable winning device) 5 includes a first large winning opening 5b that is opened and closed by an attacker-type first opening / closing door (first movable member) 5a. More specifically, the first variable winning device 5 includes a first large winning opening 5b that opens to the front side of the gaming machine and allows a game ball to be won, and a first opening / closing door (first movable member) 5a. The first movable member 5a stands up by the drive of the first movable member solenoid 5e (FIG. 2) and closes the first big prize opening 5b, and the first movable member 5a is the first large. It is configured to be able to convert a game ball flowing down from above into an open state that can be introduced into the first big prize opening 5b by rotating forward about a support shaft provided at the lower side of the prize opening 5b. . Then, the first variable winning device 5 opens the first big prize opening 5b when a first special game having a value lower than that of a second special game, which will be described later, is generated. The first prize ball can be given based on the winning of the game ball to the prize opening 5b. As the first prize balls in this embodiment, ten prize balls are paid out as one game ball wins the first big prize opening 5b.

  Inside the first grand prize opening 5b (winning area), a general prize opening sensor (count sensor) for detecting a game ball that has flowed into the general winning area among the game balls that have entered the first big prize opening 5b. 5c (FIG. 2) and a first special for detecting a game ball that has flowed into a continuous winning area (also referred to as a V winning area or a special winning opening) among gaming balls that have entered the first grand prize opening 5b. After the game ball flows into the winning opening sensor (first big winning opening continuation sensor) 5d (FIG. 2) and the first special winning opening, the first special is made not to flow into the first special winning opening. A winning rate adjusting solenoid 5f for adjusting the winning rate of the game ball to the winning port is provided.

  Similarly to the first variable winning device 5, the second variable winning device 6 includes a second large winning opening 6 b that is opened and closed by an attacker-type second opening / closing door (second movable member) 6 a. More specifically, the second variable winning device 6 has a second large winning opening 6b that opens to the front side of the gaming machine and allows a game ball to win, and a second opening / closing door (second movable member) 6a. And a second movable member 6a (FIG. 2) is driven, the second movable member 6a is erected to close the second big prize opening 6b, and the second movable member 6a is second large. It is configured to be able to convert the game ball flowing down from above into an open state that can be introduced into the second big prize opening 6b by rotating forward about a support shaft provided at the lower side of the prize opening 6b. . Then, the second variable winning device 6 opens the second big prize opening 6b when the second special game having a higher value than the first special game is generated, and here, the second big prize winning device 6 is opened. Based on the winning of game balls to the winning opening 6b, it is possible to give more second prize balls than the first prize balls. As the second prize ball in this embodiment, 15 prize balls are paid out as one game ball wins the second big prize opening 6b.

  Inside the second grand prize opening 6b (winning area), a general prize opening sensor (count sensor) for detecting a game ball that has flowed into the general winning area among the game balls that have entered the second big prize opening 6b. 6c (FIG. 2) and a second special for detecting a game ball that has flowed into a continuous winning area (also referred to as a V winning area or a special winning opening) among gaming balls that have entered the second grand prize opening 6b. After the game ball flows into the winning opening sensor (second large winning opening continuation sensor) 6d (FIG. 2) and the second special winning opening, the second special is made not to flow into the second special winning opening. A winning rate adjusting solenoid 6f for adjusting the winning rate of the game ball to the winning port is provided.

  When the result (result mode) of the auxiliary game (here, the special variation display game on the display unit 4a) performed based on the establishment of the predetermined condition becomes a predetermined special result (for example, each of the display units 4a) Special game generating means (in this case, a game control device) when the special symbol in the display area stops in a special combination mode (predetermined special result mode) such as "4, 4, 4" 20), a special game (a big hit game) can be generated, and an open state (game) in which a large number of game balls can be easily obtained from a state in which the big prize opening of the variable prize device is closed (a closed state unfavorable to the player). A cycle game that is converted into an open state that is advantageous to a person) is performed. In the special game (big hit game) in this embodiment, a cycle in which the open / close door of the special variable prize-winning device opens and closes for a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) is one round, and the game ball is a big prize during each round. It is a game that is continued up to a predetermined round (for example, 15 rounds) on condition that it is detected by a special winning mouth sensor (large winning mouth continuing sensor) in the continuous winning area in the mouth. However, during each round, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won in the big winning opening, the round is ended at that time. During each round, the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening is detected by a general winning opening sensor (count sensor) and stored in the RAM 21b of the game control device 20. When the predetermined number is reached, the door is closed and the special prize for that round is closed. The game ends. The special game generating means in this gaming machine includes different value special game generating means capable of generating special games having different values in accordance with game conditions that change in relation to a special game that has occurred previously. The different value special game generating means determines whether to generate the first special game or the second special game.

  Specifically, the special game generating means (here, the game control device 20 corresponds) provided with the special game generating means provided in the special value game (here, the first variable winning device is different). A description will be given of the control for generating two special games, i.e., the first special game for converting the game to the open state and the second special game for converting the second variable winning device to the open state.

  In the present invention, the different value special game generating means provided in the special game generating means (here, corresponding to the game control device 20) is changed according to the game conditions that change in relation to the special game that has been generated previously. A special game with a different value can be generated. For example, a predetermined number of game events (for example, the number of games of a special variable display game) that occurred between the end of the previous special game and the occurrence of the current special game. , Reach state in special variation display game (for example, the combination of symbols that have already stopped before the stop of the final stop symbol in the variation display game is a combination of symbols that can constitute a big hit, the symbol is still changing (Final stop symbol) is in the same state as the symbol that has already stopped, and there is a possibility that it will stop and become a big hit (for example, "7, 7,-",-is changing) The number of times that a player is likely to have a sense of expectation for the occurrence of a special game), the number of times a specific outage (outgoing) was displayed, etc.) There are cases where it is possible to make a decision.

  More specifically, the number of auxiliary games (special variation display games) executed from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game is within a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). In this case, the second special game can be generated, and when the number of the second special game is greater than the specific number, an example of generating the first special game is given. Even if the number of auxiliary games executed from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game is greater than the specific number (for example, 50 times), the number of auxiliary games is not reduced. When the number of times is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, 500 times), it may be possible to generate the second special game.

  Further, a state in which data relating to a special game that has occurred before is cleared (this state is referred to as a RAM clear state, and here, the number of times that the auxiliary game is performed after the RAM is cleared is limited to 50 times or less. The second special game may be generated on the condition that a special game is generated at the same time.

  Still further, when a special game occurs that satisfies a specific condition, it is possible to generate a specific game that is advantageous to the player for at least the control related to the generation of the next special game after the end of the special game, The different value special game generating means may be able to generate the second special game on condition that the special game is generated during the specific game.

  Note that the case where the special game occurs when the specific condition is satisfied means that, for example, when the result of the auxiliary game (special variation display game) becomes a special result, the points constituting the special result are “7, 7, 7 "or other odd-numbered symbols (a specific special result mode among a plurality of types of special result modes), another game is played after the occurrence of the special game is determined, and the result is The case where it will be in a state is mentioned.

  In addition, the specific game is advantageous to a player other than the special game, and for example, the chance that the opening / closing member of the normal variation winning device is converted to an open state is increased (for example, a normal variation display game). When the hit is derived once, the number of times of conversion to the open state is increased from 1 to 3 times, or the period during which the open / close member is converted to the open state is increased (for example, from 0.5 seconds to 5) In some cases, a start winning simplification state is generated in which a game ball can easily win a game to a normal variation winning device as a starting winning opening. In addition, the probability of occurrence of a special game is increased (for example, the probability is increased from 1/300 to 1/50), and the probability of occurrence of a normal variation display game is increased (for example, 1/10 to 9 / The probability is increased to 10). The normal variation display state, the variation time of the normal variation display game is shortened compared to that in the normal game (for example, shortened from 30 seconds to 5 seconds), and the normal variation prize is awarded per unit time. There is a normal time short state that increases the chance that the device is opened to the open state. Note that the specific game may be performed by combining any of the plurality of states described above. The specific game includes both a pattern in which a time limit is set by the number of times and time, and a pattern that continues until a special game is generated a predetermined number of times (for example, once).

  Furthermore, as a condition for changing the value of the special game, a condition combining the above-described items may be set. For example, the second special game is generated when the specific game is executed and the number of times the auxiliary game is executed is 50 or less. In addition, the following may be mentioned as other conditions that make the value of the special game different. For example, if the auxiliary game executed from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of this special game is a specific number of times (when a special game is generated at the specific number of times), the second special game A game may be generated. As an example of the specific number of auxiliary games for generating the second special game, when the second special game is generated at a predetermined number of times of 30, 40, 50, etc., or the specific number of times is an odd number And generating a second special game. By doing in this way, interest property can further be improved.

  In addition, a second special game may be generated in association with a plurality of special games that have occurred before. For example, if the first special game has occurred both before and after the last time (or including this time), and a total of 500 or more auxiliary games have been executed in the meantime, A so-called relief function may be provided as a special game. By doing in this way, interest property can further be improved.

  FIG. 2 is a main control block diagram of the game control device 20, the first variable winning device 5 and the second variable winning device 6 installed in the pachinko gaming machine.

  The game control device 20 includes a game microcomputer 21 having an internal CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21a, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 21b, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 21c, an input / output I / F 23, an oscillator 22, and the like. It is configured to perform overall control related to games.

  The CPU 21a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers related to determining the game contents of the special variation display game and the normal variation display game. The RAM 21b stores the ON signal of the start winning port sensor 9b as a special figure start signal (special figure start right) and the ON signal of the general figure start gate sensor 7b as a general figure start signal (normal figure start memory). A storage area, a storage area for various random values generated by the CPU 21a, a storage area for temporarily storing various data, and a work area for the CPU 21a are provided. In the ROM 21c, game control programs and control data are written, and various determination values for determining the game contents of the special variation display game and the normal variation display game are written.

The input I / F is connected through a low-pass filter and a buffer gate (not shown) to a start winning port sensor 9b, a normal starting gate sensor 7b, special winning port sensors (large winning port continuation sensors) 5d and 6d, and a general winning port. Sensors (count sensors) 5c, 6c, prize opening sensors 8a,... Are connected, and detection signals output from these sensors are output to the CPU 21a via the input I / F.

  On the other hand, various control signals output from the CPU 21a are input to the output I / F. These control signals are output from the output I / F via an output port and a driver (not shown). Display device) 7, universal memory display (general diagram start memory display) 7a, solenoids 5e and 6e for movable members, solenoids 5f and 6f for winning rate adjustment, discharge control device 30, display control device 40, external output terminal 81 or the like. In this embodiment, the game control device 20 is configured to control the decoration control device 50 and the sound control device 60 via the display control device 40, whereby the burden on the game control device 20 is increased. It is made to decrease.

  The discharge control device 30 is required from a ball discharge unit (not shown) based on a prize ball control command output from the CPU 21a of the game control device 20 or a ball rental control command output from a card unit (not shown) or the like. Control is performed to discharge a number of game balls (prize balls, rental balls). The decoration control device 50 controls the light emission state of various decoration lamps / LEDs 51 (for example, the side lamps 12) based on a decoration control command output from the CPU 21a of the game control device 20. The sound control device 60 controls sound effects and sounds output from the speaker 61 based on a sound control command output from the CPU 21a of the game control device 20.

  The display control device 40 performs display control of the display unit 4a of the special symbol display device 4 based on a command from the game control device 20, and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Γ correction for performing γ correction when converting electrical signals (input signals) of Access Memory (DMA), Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC), oscillator, VDC (Video Digital Controller), font ROM, and VDC to optical signals (output signals) Circuits, interfaces, etc. are provided. In this embodiment, the display control device 40 is configured to control the decoration control device 50 and the sound control device 60 based on a command from the game control device 20, and the display of the special symbol display device 4 is performed. Decoration control and sound control linked with display in the unit 4a can be performed more smoothly. Also, with such a configuration, the burden on the game control device 20 can be reduced.

  The CPU includes a control unit, a calculation unit, various counters, various registers, and the like, and is connected to the game control device 20 through an interface. Under the control of the game control device 20, the display control of the special symbol display device 4 is performed. Is going. The control data is sent to the VDC in synchronization with the pulse from the oscillator. In the ROM, a display control program and display control data for performing display control of the special symbol display device 4 are written. The RAM includes a storage area for temporarily storing various data and a work area for the CPU. The DMAC directly exchanges display control data between each memory, VDC, etc. without access to the CPU in response to display control information (command) from the gaming microcomputer 21.

  In the font ROM, design display data for a special variation display game, background image display data, reach state image display data, character display data describing game contents, and the like are written. The VDC includes a sprite RAM, a palette RAM, a V-RAM, and the like, and performs the following image data control. That is, the VDC receives a command signal from the CPU, extracts special symbol and display data of the background image from the font ROM, and edits them. Then, based on the color arrangement data included in the command signal, a color arrangement is designated for the edited image data in the palette RAM, and then image editing of special symbols and characters is performed in the sprite RAM. The edited image data signal is corrected by the γ correction circuit, transmitted to the special symbol display device 4 in synchronization with V_SYNC and H_SYNC, and displayed on the display unit 4a of the special symbol display device 4. Each of these control devices including the game control device 20 is supplied with power from the power supply device 90. Further, the power supply device 90 is provided with a backup power supply 91 that operates when the power supply is stopped, and a RAM clear switch 92 that clears data relating to a special game that has occurred previously.

  Here, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4, the determination process of the types of special games having different values (here, the first special game and the second special game) will be described. This process is performed each time the game ball is won at the start winning opening and the special variation display game is played.

  First, as a result of the special variation display game, it is determined whether or not a special result mode is established, that is, whether or not a special symbol is stopped and displayed in a combination mode of all eyes (S1). Here, when it is determined that the special result mode is established and the special game is generated, it is next determined whether or not the specific game is currently being performed (in this case, whether or not the probability variation state is in effect), that is, It is determined whether or not the special game that occurred last time is a game that satisfies a specific condition (S2).

  Here, when the special figure probability variation state is currently in progress, the number of times of the auxiliary game (special variation display game) from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game is 50 times. It is determined whether it is within (S3). If the number of games is 50 or less, a second special game flag for generating a second special game (super jackpot) is set (S4). That is, in this embodiment, the game is in a specific game (special figure probability fluctuation state) and for a predetermined period (from the occurrence of the special figure probability fluctuation state until the occurrence of the current special game is determined). When the number of games is 50 or less, the second special game can be generated.

  On the other hand, if it is not in the specific game (in this case, the special figure probability variation state) in S2, it is determined whether or not the special result mode is established when the RAM clear switch is pressed and the RAM clear state is established. (S5). Here, the RAM clear state means that when the power is turned on while the RAM clear switch is pressed when the power of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on, the data relating to the special game that has occurred previously is cleared. That means.

  If it is determined in S5 that the special result mode from the RAM clear state is established, then an auxiliary game (special variation display) from when the RAM clear switch is pressed until the current special game is generated. It is determined whether or not the number of games (game) is within 50 (S3). If the number of games is 50 or less, a second special game flag for generating a second special game (super jackpot) is set (S4). That is, in this embodiment, when the RAM is in a clear state and the number of games in a predetermined period (from the RAM clear state until the occurrence of the current special game is determined) is 50 or less. In addition, the second special game can be generated. When a special game is generated from the RAM clear state, the second special game may be generated unconditionally regardless of the number of games.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S5 that the RAM is not in a clear state, and in S3, a game for a predetermined period (from the time when the special figure probability variation state or the RAM clear state is reached until the occurrence of this special game is determined). If the number of times is greater than 50, the number of times of the auxiliary game executed after the previous special game ends (or after the RAM is cleared) until the current special game is generated is a predetermined number of times. It is determined whether or not the above (500 times or more here) (S6). Here, if the number of games is 500 or more, the second special game flag is set and the second special game can be generated (S4). That is, in this embodiment, the second special game can be generated even when the number of games in a predetermined period is 500 or more. When the number of games is less than 500 (that is, when the number of games is 51 or more and 499 or less), the first special game flag is set and the first special game (normal big hit) is set. Can be generated (S7).

  Regarding the occurrence of the second special game, in this embodiment, as described above, during the specific game (special probability variation state) and after the special probability variation state has occurred, If the number of games until the occurrence is determined is less than 50, the number of games is less than 50 in the RAM clear state and until the occurrence of this special game is determined after the RAM is cleared. In some cases, and when the number of games from the time when the special figure probability change state or the RAM clear state is reached until the occurrence of this special game is determined is 500 times or more, it can be generated. It is not limited to.

  For example, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine that does not have a function to generate a specific game such as a special figure probability variation state, whether or not the special game type is currently being determined (in the special figure probability variation state) There is no such determination (S2). Thereby, in the gaming machine, whether or not to generate the second special game is determined only by the number of auxiliary games. Specifically, for example, if the number of auxiliary games is less than 50 from the end of the previous special game until the occurrence of the current special game is determined, If the number of auxiliary games until the occurrence of a special game is determined to be less than 50, and after the previous special game ends or the RAM is cleared, the occurrence of this special game is determined A pattern in which the second special game is generated when the number of auxiliary games until the game is 500 or more is included.

  In this embodiment, a special game once determined by the above-described special game type determination process, particularly a special game with low value, is started from the middle of the special game based on the establishment of a predetermined game condition. Special game value changing means (here, the game control device 20 corresponds) that can be changed (upgraded) to a special game with high value is provided. Hereinafter, the special game upgrading process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is performed at the end of each round during the special game.

  First, it is determined whether or not the first special game flag is set (S11). Here, when the first special game flag is set, that is, when the first special game is generated, whether or not it is an interval after a specific round (between rounds in the special game) (S12). In this embodiment, during a special game of a maximum of 15 rounds, the seventh round is designated as a specific round, and an upgrade lottery is performed at intervals after the specific round.

  Here, if the current interval is after the specific round (seventh round), the gaming control device 20 extracts the upgrade random number (S13), and the extracted upgrade random number and the pre-prepared hit value A comparison is made to determine whether or not the value matches the winning value (S14). Here, the random number range of the random numbers for promotion is 10 numbers from 0 to 9, and the special game upgrade is determined when the extracted random number matches the hit value “7” prepared in advance. Is done. That is, the probability that the upgrade is performed is 1/10. When the upgrade is determined, the first special game flag up to that point is cleared (S15), the second special game flag is newly set (S16), and the 8th round is highly valuable. Two special games occur.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a special game occurs, it is provided with an informing means for informing the high value of the special game. Here, the special symbol display device 4 also serves as the notification means.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of notification regarding the high value of the special game in the notification means (special symbol display device 4) will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the display areas 10a, 10b, and 10c of the display unit 4a of the special symbol display device 4, the special game is displayed above the screen while the special variation display game is being performed. Current information about the value of is displayed. For example, at the upper left of the screen, it is displayed that the probability variation state is currently in progress (specific game), and it is notified that one of the conditions for generating the second special game is provided. ing.

  Also, the number of times that the auxiliary game has been played since the end of the previous big hit game (special game) until the present is reported as the number of revolutions in the upper right of the screen. The number of rotations is incremented every time the special variation display game is finished once. Also, the display at the upper left of the screen indicates that the probability change is in the specific game this time, so that the probability change is displayed, but during the normal game, the normal game is displayed. In this embodiment, the normal game is displayed even in the RAM clear state, and the RAM clear state is not notified. The purpose of generating the second special game in relation to the RAM clear state is to improve the number of customers at the opening of the amusement store, but as a gaming store, all the tables (gaming machines) May not be in the RAM clear state. For this reason, if the table in the RAM clear state is notified, the customer is surely concentrated on the table in the RAM clear state in which the second special game is generated when the special game is generated. This is because there is a problem that the customer's admission to the table that is not in a state deteriorates.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), when the occurrence of the second special game is determined according to the game conditions (here, when the occurrence of the special game is determined, the special figure probability variation state is in progress) And since the number of auxiliary games (number of rotations) is within 50 after the end of the previous big hit game, the occurrence of the second special game has been determined), for example, (c) of FIG. The message “Congratulations! Super jackpot has occurred.” Is displayed, and then the second special game occurs. When the occurrence of the first special game is determined, a display such as “Normal big hit has occurred” is displayed, and then the first special game is generated.

  The display of the number of revolutions may be hidden when the number of revolutions (the number of times that the auxiliary game has been performed) exceeds the predetermined number of times (here, 50 times). In this way, if the number of rotations exceeds 50, the player cannot easily know how many times the current number of rotations is. Then, it is possible to prevent the player from playing a game aiming at a table having a rotation speed of 500 times or more in which a second special game is generated as a rescue measure when a special game occurs.

  In this embodiment, the first variable winning device and the second variable winning device are both located below the normal variable winning device (start winning port), and the first special game and the second The difference in the value of the special game is a difference in the prize ball with respect to the winning of one game ball (difference between the first prize ball and the second prize ball), but is not limited thereto. For example, a gaming machine according to another embodiment shown in FIG. Details will be described below. In addition, about the site | part similar to the structure of the above-mentioned game machine, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the gaming machine, the first variable winning device 15 is arranged above the normal variable winning device (start winning port) 19 and the first open / close door (first movable member) 15a in the left-right direction. The dimension is set to be longer than the lateral width when the open / close members 19a, 19a of the normal variation winning device 19 are in the open state. As a result, the first special game is generated, and the first movable member 15a is rotated from the closed state to the front side to be in an open state in which the game ball can be introduced into the first big winning opening 15b (the first state). When the first variable member 15a is in an advantageous state for the player), the first movable member 15a is completely blocked by the first variable member 15a due to the conversion of the first movable member 15a to the open state. It is possible to make a state where the game ball does not win the normal variation winning device 19. In addition, by converting the first movable member 15a to the open state, the first movable member 15a closes the normal variation winning device 19 to such an extent that the game ball can start and win slightly, and the game ball is transferred to the normal variation winning device 19 May be difficult to win. That is, in these cases, the first special game (normal) in which the winning rate of the game ball to the normal variation winning device 19 during the special game (the start winning port capable of starting the auxiliary game based on the winning of the game ball) 19 becomes low. Jackpot).

  On the other hand, the second variable winning device 16 in this gaming machine is disposed below the normal variable winning device 19. As a result, a second special game is generated, and the second opening / closing door (second movable member) 16a is rotated from the closed state to the front side so that the game ball can be introduced into the second grand prize winning opening 16b. (When the second variable winning device 16 is in an advantageous state for the player), the conversion of the second movable member 16a to the open state causes the game ball to be placed on the normal variable winning device 19 The winning state can be made not to be affected. That is, in this case, the winning rate of the game ball to the normal variation winning device 19 during the special game is normal (in a game other than the special game, during the normal game, during the specific game, during the RAM clear state, etc. (Including) and not changing (compared with normal jackpot game, the winning rate of the game ball to the normal variable winning device is higher, and is higher than the first special game) second special game (special jackpot) .

  Then, the different value special game generation means (here, the game control device 20 corresponds) is configured to change the first value according to a game condition that changes in relation to a special game that has occurred previously. It is possible to generate a first special game for converting the variable winning device to an open state and a second special game for converting the second variable winning device to an open state. Reference numeral 15b denotes a first grand prize opening, 16b denotes a second big prize opening, 17 denotes a normal symbol display device, and 17a denotes a general figure start memory display (common figure memory display).

  In addition, when the gaming machine is in a state of waiting for the start of a new auxiliary game, it has a start storage means for temporarily storing the start right of the auxiliary game when a game ball wins the start winning port, When the special game has occurred, the start storage means indicates that the start right storage upper limit number is normal (points to a game other than a special game, including a normal game, a specific game, a RAM clear state, etc.) If the start memory upper limit increasing means is included, the number of start rights stored when a special game occurs can be further differentiated between the first and second special games. The expectation of the case can be greatly enhanced.

  In this embodiment, when the first variable display device is in the open state, the game ball is not won (or difficult to win) in the normal variable prize device, and the second variable display device is in the open state. Depending on the situation, the first and second variable display devices and the normal variable winning device are arranged at positions that do not affect the winning state of the game ball to the normal variable winning device. Although it is possible to generate games (first special game and second special game), the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the first variable display device is in the open state, the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the start winning port, and conversely when the second variable display device is in the open state, the start winning port is reversed. The first and second variable display devices and the start winning opening may be arranged at a position where the game ball can easily win. In addition, the opening state of the first variable winning device does not affect the winning state of the game ball to the starting winning port, and the opening of the second variable winning device to the starting winning port. You may arrange | position a 1st and 2nd fluctuation | variation prize apparatus and a start prize opening in the position where it becomes a state where a game ball becomes easy to win. That is, when the first variation display device is in the open state and when the second variation display device is in the open state, the winning state of the game ball at the start winning opening is relatively different. As long as it is possible to generate special games with different values.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the auxiliary game is performed based on the establishment of the predetermined condition and the result of the auxiliary game becomes a predetermined special result, it is advantageous for the player. In a gaming machine equipped with special game generating means capable of generating special games, the special game generating means can generate special games having different values according to game conditions that change in relation to a special game that has occurred previously. Therefore, it is possible to generate special games with different values, so that the contents of the game can be diversified and the entertainment can be enhanced. Also, since the value of the special game is made different according to the game conditions that change in relation to the special game that occurred before, the value of the special game is not determined simply by the occurrence of one special game. In this way, the value of the novel special game is determined in a manner that the value is determined in relation to a plurality of special games, and the player's expectation can be enhanced.

  Also, in this embodiment, the different value special game generating means is based on a predetermined number of game events that have occurred from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game. Therefore, when a special game occurs, the value of the special game will change according to the events that occurred from the previous special game to the occurrence of this special game. It is possible to diversify and enhance interest. In addition, it is possible to provide highly interesting game contents that can change the player's expectation from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game.

  Further, in this embodiment, the different value special game generating means can generate a first special game and a second special game having a higher value than the first special game, and the previous special game is generated. Since the second special game can be generated when the number of auxiliary games executed from the end of the game to the occurrence of the special game of this time is within a predetermined number of times, It is possible to greatly increase the player's sense of expectation between the end of the special game and the execution of the auxiliary game a specific number of times. In particular, if the specific number of times is set to a relatively small number of times, the player's profit can be increased by the continuous generation of special games, and the second special game is also generated, so that the game motivation can be greatly increased. In addition, since the special game generated after the auxiliary game exceeds the specific number of times becomes the first special game, the profit balance between the game store and the player is greatly broken (the player's profit becomes too large). Can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, even if the number of auxiliary games executed from the end of the previous special game to the occurrence of the current special game exceeds the specified number of times, the auxiliary game If the number of times is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the second special game can be generated, and if the auxiliary game is executed many times before the next special game is generated, Can prevent the player from ending the game because there is no possibility of the occurrence of the second special game when the number of auxiliary games exceeds the specified number of times. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the special game is generated while satisfying a specific condition, it is possible to generate a specific game in which at least the control related to the generation of the next special game is advantageous to the player after the special game ends. The different value special game generating means can generate a first special game and a second special game having a higher value than the first special game, and the special game is in the specific game. Since the second special game can be generated on the condition that the second special game is generated, the generation of the specific game can increase the expectation for the next special game, and the next special game is the second special game. The expectation for becoming a special game can be raised. In addition, when the specific game is continued until the next special game occurs (in the case of the conventional probability variation state), the state where the generation of the next special game is promised by the occurrence of the specific game As a result, there was no irritating feeling during the specific game and it did not improve the interest, but if the value of the special game generated during the specific game is different, Can also generate a feeling of throbbing and can improve interest.

  Further, in this embodiment, the different value special game generating means is capable of generating a first special game and a second special game having a higher value than the first special game. Since the second special game can be generated on the condition that the special game is generated in the state where the data regarding the special game is cleared, the data regarding the special game that has been generated before the opening of the game store, etc. Even if it is cleared, the second special game can be generated, so that it is possible to prevent the player from avoiding the game at the time of opening the store. In addition, it is conceivable that the player prefers to play a game at the time of opening the store aiming at such a privilege, and is effective in a game store.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first variable winning device that can be converted into an open state and a closed state and that can be awarded with a first prize ball based on a winning game ball, an open state and a closed state And a second variable winning device capable of giving a second prize ball more than the first prize ball based on the winning of the game ball, the different value special game generating means, Since the first special game for converting the first variable winning device into the open state and the second special game for converting the second variable winning device into the open state are generated, the first And the value of the second special game can be surely made different. In the past, there was a game where the number of game balls that a player can acquire was changed by changing the upper limit of the number of special games, but in this case, a special game with low value was generated. In such a case, the special game will be completed in a short period of time, and there is a problem that the player cannot fully enjoy the special game. However, according to the present invention, when a special game with low value occurs. However, since the period can be kept unchanged, the special game can be fully enjoyed. In addition, it is conceivable to change the number of prize balls for the game balls to be won in the first special game and the second special game by using one variable prize winning device. When a clogged ball or the like occurs, it may be unclear which special game state the capped game ball has won, and it may not be possible to accurately give a prize ball. However, according to the present invention, such a problem does not occur at all, and the first and second special games are changed because the variable winning device that is opened is changed between the first and second special games. It is also possible to clearly notify the game.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a special game occurs, a notification means for notifying the high value of the value is provided, so that the player can be surely informed of the value of the special game. It can be tightened.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, even when a special game with a low value occurs, a special game value changing means is provided that can be changed from a middle of the special game to a special game with a high value based on establishment of a predetermined game condition. Therefore, even when a special game with a low value occurs, it is possible to leave a sense of expectation for a special game with a high value, and to prevent the player from being discouraged when a special game with a low value occurs.

  Still further, in another embodiment, a start winning opening that can start the auxiliary game based on a winning game ball can be converted into an open state and a closed state, and provided above the start winning opening. A first variable winning device that can prevent the game ball from being won or difficult to win at the start winning opening by the conversion to the open state, and can be converted into an open state and a closed state, and the start win A second variable winning device provided on the lower side of the mouth, wherein the different value special game generating means converts the first variable winning device into an open state, and the first special game. It is possible to generate the second special game in which the two variable winning devices are converted to the open state. When a special game occurs, if a game ball wins the start winning opening during the occurrence, it is temporarily stored as the start right, and after the end of the special game, auxiliary games (special fluctuations) Display game), and when a special result mode is formed again in the special variation display game for the number of memories, a special game is continuously generated, and the player's interest Are concentrated on special variation display games for the number of memories of the starting right. Therefore, if the number of starting rights stored during the occurrence of a special game can be changed, the player's expectation for the occurrence of consecutive special games can be changed, and monotonous game content can be prevented. In the conventional special game that converts the variable winning device to the open state, the number of starting memories stored during the special game is almost constant (for example, the upper limit of 4), Although the value of the special game could not be varied, according to the present invention, it is possible to vary the value of the special game in relation to the memory number of the starting right, and the interest of the game and the next special game The expectation for can be improved. In addition, if the number of game balls received at the start winning opening is different, the number of prize balls to be paid out by the start winning is also different, and the value can be further varied.

  In addition, in another embodiment, the start storage means for temporarily storing the start right of the auxiliary game when the game ball wins the start winning opening in a state where the start of the new auxiliary game is on standby The start storage means includes start memory upper limit increase means for increasing the storage upper limit number of the start right when compared with the normal time when a special game occurs. The difference in the number of memories between the first and second special games can be further increased, and the expectation in the case of the second special game can be greatly increased.

  In this embodiment, the first and second special variation winning devices are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, three or more types of special variable winning devices with different number of winning balls for one winning may be provided. In addition, the first and second types of special games are generated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, three or more types of special games may be generated. Furthermore, the value of the special game may be made different by a method other than that described here, and a plurality of special games having the different value may be generated according to the conditions.

  Further, in this embodiment, the upper limit number of memory of the start right during the jackpot game is set to 13, but if the number is increased to 20 or 30 for example, the expectation of continuous jackpot after the end of the special game A feeling can be improved. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the maximum number of memory for starting right is increased only during a big hit game. However, regardless of the occurrence of the big hit game, it indicates a normal time (in a game other than a special game, a normal game, It may be set to a relatively large upper limit number (13) even during a game or during a RAM clear state. Furthermore, the upper limit number of start memory numbers may be increased only when the second special game occurs.

  Note that the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the first type gaming machine as described above, and may be applied to, for example, a second type (so-called feather object) gaming machine. In this case, as an auxiliary game, instead of the first type of special variation display game, the movable member of the variable prize apparatus is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, 0.5 seconds × 1 time or 0.6 seconds × 2 times). It becomes a feather opening and closing game. In addition, a game ball that is received inside the variable winning device while the auxiliary game is being executed (when the game ball can be received inside the variable winning device by opening the movable member) is further provided inside the variable winning device. When a prize is awarded to the designated special prize area, a special game is executed as a special result. In a special game, for example, the movable member of the variable prize apparatus releases a number of times (for example, 0.6 seconds × maximum 18 times of a release operation) more than in the auxiliary game, so that a player can have a large number of game balls. Can be acquired.
