Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine according to a type capable of executing a special game that is advantageous to a player as compared to a lottery game (for example, a normal game or a specific game) for shifting to a special game.

  Currently, the most popular pachinko machines are the conventional type 1 gaming machine (model called “Digipachi”) and the conventional type 2 gaming machine (type called “Honey”). is there. First of all, in the first type gaming machine, on the display such as a liquid crystal or the like when a game ball has entered the starting port, usually three rows of symbols change up and down or left and right, and after a predetermined time As a result of stopping, when a predetermined mode (for example, “777”) is aligned on the active line, it is a model of a type that shifts to a special game in which a variable winning opening in a closed state is opened in a normal game (for example, Patent Literature) 1). Further, in the conventional type 2 gaming machine, the variable winning opening is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, once or twice) based on the hitting of the hit ball at the starting opening on the game board. When a game ball passes through a specific area (so-called V zone), the variable prize opening or another variable prize opening is configured to execute a special game in which an opening / closing operation is continued under a predetermined condition (for example, a patent) Reference 2).

By the way, in recent years, the necessity of developing a model that is not bound by the conventional frames of the first type, the second type, the third type, etc. has been recognized in order to further improve the game playability. For example, Patent Document 3 proposes a pachinko gaming machine in which a conventional first-class pachinko gaming machine and a conventional second-class pachinko gaming machine are combined (hereinafter referred to as “one-kind two-kind type pachinko gaming machine”). "). Here, among such 1 type and 2 type pachinko machines, the pachinko machines provided in the market these days induce a jackpot mainly on the first kind side during normal games, and after the jackpot ends There are many types that can induce a big hit on the second type side only at a specific game (for example, at a time-saving game). More specifically, the model will be described. In the game on the first type side, when the identification information is stopped in a predetermined mode (for example, “777”), the variable prize opening (large prize opening) in the game area is a predetermined condition. A special game is executed in which the unit game that is opened below is performed one or more times. After the special game ends, the gaming state on the first type side changes from the normal gaming state to the specific gaming state (time shortening gaming state), and the variation time of the identification information is relatively shortened. Here, in the specific gaming state, the gaming state on the auxiliary gaming side also changes so as to follow the change of the gaming state on the first type side. Specifically, the auxiliary game is a game that functions to support the main game by opening the electric tulip in the game area for a predetermined time when the normal symbol stops in a predetermined mode (for example, “7”). It is. And, in normal games, the normal symbol is not frequently stopped in a predetermined manner, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is long, or the normal opening time when the regular symbol is stopped in a predetermined manner is short. However, in certain games (time-reduced games), the normal symbol stops frequently in a predetermined manner, the normal symbol has a short variation time, or the normal symbol stops in a predetermined manner. In this case, since the electric open time is long, the benefit of the auxiliary game can be substantially enjoyed. Here, one feature of this type of gaming machine is that this electric tulip is attached to the second type starting port, and when the electric tulip is in a closed state, it is impossible to enter the starting port, Only when the electric tulip is in the open state, it is configured to be able to enter the starting port. Due to such a configuration, there is an effect that a big hit on the second type side cannot be expected during normal games, and a big win on the second type side can be substantially expected only during a specific game (time-saving game). .
JP 2003-230714 A JP 2001-353281 A JP 2000-33141 A

  By the way, in the above-mentioned type 1 and type 2 pachinko machines, the period of the specific game (time reduction game) that shifts after the big hit on the first type side is set short in many models (for example, big hit) 4 rotations after the end). Here, in a normal pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball enters the start port on the first type side, when the identification information is changing or when it is a big hit, ) Is suspended. Then, when it becomes possible to change the identification information, the process of releasing the hold, starting the change of the identification information, and displaying the stop identification information after a lapse of a predetermined time is executed until the hold disappears. Therefore, even if the player wants to take a rest such as a toilet after the jackpot on the first type side, if all the holds are released during the break, the hold at the end of the jackpot Depending on the number, if there are many reserved balls, the number of remaining specific games (time-reduced games) will be reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in the profit based on the second type jackpot.

  Therefore, the present invention, including the above-mentioned 1 type and 2 type types, in the pachinko gaming machine capable of executing the lottery game and the special game to the special game, does not impair the profits of the player even immediately after the special game is finished. The first object is to provide a means by which a player can take a break.

  In addition, there is a lucky number system as one service typically performed in a conventional first-class pachinko machine. This is a service provided to the player on the hall side that allows the game ball acquired in the special game to continue to be played as it is when the winning symbol that triggered the special game is in a predetermined mode. . Here, when the lucky numbers are collected, the player needs to call the hall staff until the special game is finished at the latest and ask the hall staff to confirm the winning symbol displayed on the identification information display section. . However, if the hall staff cannot arrive before the end of the special game due to other troubles due to various troubles, etc., the special game will end and the displayed winning symbol will change. It will not be possible to confirm that the lucky numbers have been prepared. In this case, for example, a method has been proposed in which a side symbol or the like continues to notify a winning symbol even after the special game ends, but in addition to the need to set side lamps by the number of winning symbols, The process must be executed and it is a little cumbersome.

  Therefore, the second object of the present invention is to provide a means capable of reliably transmitting the winning symbol that triggered the special game to the hall staff even after the special game is finished, even without special equipment such as a side lamp. The purpose.

  Furthermore, many models including the conventional type 1 have a large winning opening (attacker) that is closed during normal games and is open only during special games. For example, this special winning opening has a structure in which a flat member is pivotally supported so as to be displaceable in a vertical position (closed state) and a horizontal position (open state), and the displacement is executed by excitation and demagnetization of a solenoid. ing. Here, in many models, even if the grand prize opening is closed, it can be forced to open by applying force from the outside, so members such as piano wires and celluloid can be externally connected to gaming machines. There is still a fraudulent act that introduces and forces the grand opening to open. Such fraudulent activities are not allowed from the viewpoint of not only damage on the hall side but also the development of a healthy industry, so the hall staff keep an eye on the fraudulent activities. In this case, it is often the first stage of fraud detection that the hall staff thinks suspicious, and after thinking suspiciously, the player is marked.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to quickly find fraud by making it obvious at a glance whether a large number of game balls are based on jackpots when the player has acquired many game balls. It is a third object to provide a means.

The pachinko gaming machine according to the invention (1) is configured to shift from the non-error state to the error state .

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, “special game” refers to a game that gives a player a high profit. For example, in the case of the “first hit”, which is typically the first type, it is possible to acquire only a few balls. "Big jackpot" that can get a lot of balls, and if it is the second type of conventional, "second stage special game" that can win a lot of balls instead of "first stage special game" that triggers a big hit "Means. However, the “special game” may include the aforementioned “small hit” or the like. The “transition lottery game” is not particularly limited as long as the transition lottery to the special game can be executed. For example, in the case of the first type of the conventional game, the normal game or the specific game {the special game win probability is normal. High-probability lottery games (probability variation games) that are higher than games, and time-reduced games in which the variation time of identification information is relatively shorter than normal games}. It means the aforementioned “first stage special game”. “Pitching” is a concept that encompasses not only winnings that a winning ball pays out, but also anything that can cause some profit to the player, and includes so-called “through-chuckers” and winning holes. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and examples thereof include numbers, characters, designs, and the like (for example, special designs). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used for a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, for the first random number, the result of the game So-called “basic random numbers” that affect the game, specifically “winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, “variation mode determination random numbers” to determine the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, stop You can list “symbols for determining symbols” that determine symbols, and “random numbers for determining symbols” that determine whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, a time-saving game) after a special game. “Winning random number” related to the opening / closing of the symbol, “symbol determining random number” for determining the stop symbol of the normal symbol, and the like. “Random number” refers to a set of a plurality of random numbers unless otherwise specified (for example, a variation mode determining random number, a symbol determining random number,...). It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Further, for example, one random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining the stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol, determining the special symbol directly from the random number and determining the decorative symbol from the special symbol). The “variation start condition” means that the identification information or other identification information is not fluctuating, or is not in a special game or a waiting period after the end of a special game.

  According to the present invention (1), after the special game is finished, it is configured to be in a forced stop state until there is a forced stop release command by the operating means. Even in a gaming machine having a high profit status immediately after the end of the special game, the player can take a break even immediately after the special game ends without impairing the profit of the player. Furthermore, even if there is no special equipment such as a side lamp, the hall staff can be surely transmitted to the hall staff even after the special game is over. Thus, even if the winning symbol cannot be confirmed during the special game, there is an effect that the merit of the lucky number system can be surely enjoyed. Further, as a result of the forced stop state at each jackpot, the hall staff can sensuously recognize to what player the jackpot has occurred by releasing the forced stop. As a result, if you discover a player who owns a lot of game balls even though there are not so many jackpots (or no jackpots at all), the sign of suspicious behavior Even if it does not, etc., it becomes suspiciously suspicious, so there is also an effect that it becomes possible to quickly find fraud.

  The present invention (2) relates to a one-type and two-type pachinko gaming machine having a complicated game content in addition to a high profit state immediately after the end of the special game. Then, by forcing the error state after the end of the special game, in addition to the above effects, (1) the player can confirm the game content with the hall staff, thereby not recognizing the game content. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of disadvantages due to the fact that (2) the hall staff side can also confirm whether the player understands the game content. .

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above effects, for example, when applied to a conventional type 1 gaming machine, when the winning symbol (predetermined mode) is a lucky number target symbol (specific mode), a side lamp, etc. Even without the special equipment, there is an effect that even after the end of the special game, it is possible to reliably convey to the hall staff that the trigger of the special game is the lucky number target symbol.

  The best mode of the present invention will be described below. The best mode is a model in which two conventional first-class pachinko machines and two conventional second-class pachinko machines are mixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, other types of game machines (For example, a conventional type 1 gaming machine, a conventional type 2 gaming machine, a gaming machine having two conventional type 1 functions and a conventional type 2 function) Within the scope of the invention. Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described in detail. In addition, in order to ensure that a plurality of special games do not occur at the same time, there are “forced pause type” (type A) and “forced loss symbol replacement type” (type B) described later. Hereinafter, type A will be described first. Here, the type relates to a type that prevents the transition to the first special game during the execution of the second special game by temporarily stopping the timer related to the special symbol fluctuation during the execution of the second special game. Yes {that is, the second (a type in which a special symbol keeps changing during execution of a special game). Note that this is the best mode, and the order of each step regarding various processes such as the location and function of each means, The flag on / off timing, the name of the means responsible for the processing of each step, and the like are not limited to the following modes.

In step 3000, the main controller 1000 executes a second special game transition determination process related to the transition determination to the second special game, which is performed at the time of the normal game or the specific game in the second game. Next, at step 4000, main controller 1000 executes a second special game execution process related to the second special game. Next, at step 5000, main controller 1000 executes prize ball payout processing. In this step, the main control device 1000 (particularly the prize ball payout determining means 1400) drives the prize ball payout device 3000 based on the winning opening where the game ball has won, and performs a predetermined prize ball payout process. In step 5500, main controller 1000 executes the forced error control process after the end of the special game, and returns to step 500 again.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the first special game transition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1000 in FIG. First, in step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a first random number (game content determination random number related to the first game) acquisition process related to a process based on the entry of a game ball into special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1400, main controller 1000 executes special symbol display processing related to special symbol variable display / stop display processing on special symbol display unit 2131 of special symbol display device 2130. Then, at step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a first special game operating condition determination process related to the process when the game content determination random number is a winning value, and the process proceeds to step 2000.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart according to the first special game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the special figure starting port entrance determining means 1111 determines whether or not special figure starting port entrance information has been received from the entrance detecting device 2111 of the special figure starting port 2110. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 refers to the special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1131a, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 acquires a game content determination random number (winning random number, variation mode determination random number, special symbol determination random number, etc.), and the special figure reservation means 1131 The random number is set in the special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a together with information on how many pieces are held. Next, in step 1308, the information transmission unit 1300 refers to the special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131a, acquires information on the number of hold stored as the random number, and stores the information as the first hold. It transmits to the effect display control means 2150 side, and shifts to the next process (special symbol display process of step 1400). In addition, also when it is No in step 1302 and step 1304, it transfers to the following process (special symbol display process of step 1400).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of special symbol display processing according to the subroutine of step 1400 (particularly, step 1400A related to type A) in FIG. Here, the process is characterized in that the transition to the first special game during the execution of the second special game is prevented by temporarily stopping the timer relating to the special symbol fluctuation during the execution of the second special game. . That is, the special symbol continues to fluctuate during execution of the second special game.

  Therefore, this flowchart will be described in order. First, in step 1402A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start conditions are only that the first special game and the second special game are not being executed, and that the special symbol is not changing. That is, when the special symbol starts to change, the fact that the normal symbol is changing does not constitute a change start restriction condition.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402A, in step 1403A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1403A, in step 1405A, the special figure content determination means 1141 sets the special figure time reduction gaming state lottery table 1141a-2 as a reference table, and proceeds to step 1414A. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403A, in step 1407A, the special figure content determination means 1141 sets the special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1141a-1 as a reference table, and proceeds to step 1414A.

  Next, in step 1414A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 reads the game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the special figure holding information temporary storage unit 1131a. In step 1416A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 refers to each set lottery table and determines a stop symbol related to the special symbol based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the special symbol determination random number). Based on the game content determination random numbers (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number), the variation mode of the special symbol is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the special diagram information temporary storage unit 1191b.

  Here, in the case of winning and the case of losing, the stop symbol itself determined based on the special symbol random number is different. For example, when the special symbol determination random number that can be taken is 0 to 255, in the case of a loss, “−” is determined when any special symbol determination random number is acquired. On the other hand, in the case of winning, first, in the case of a big win (when a special symbol determining random number of 0 to 128 is acquired), the symbol ("3" or "7") is determined, and in the case of a small hit (129 ~ Any one of the symbols (“0”, “2”, “4”...) Is determined).

  In step 1417A, the game control unit 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417A, in step 1418A, the game control unit 1100 turns on the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a. On the other hand, if step 1417A is No, step 1418A is skipped. Next, in step 1419A, the information transmitting means 1300 performs first effect display control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416A and the current gaming state. It transmits to the means 2150 side. Next, in step 1420A, the special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a sets a predetermined time (fluctuation time related to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416A) in the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1. In step 1422A, the special symbol display control unit 1151 starts the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 according to the variation mode stored in the special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b. To do. Next, in step 1446A, the special figure display control means 1151 turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1424A, the game state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, so that the current second special game related flag (for example, the second special game transition permission flag, the second special game execution flag, etc.) is obtained. ) Is off, that is, whether or not the second special game is currently being executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 1424A, in step 1426A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the special symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 to confirm whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently stopped. . In the case of Yes in step 1426A, in FIG. 1428A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop means 1221b-2 turns on the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 which has been paused. In step 1429A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation restart signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and the process proceeds to step 1434A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424A, in step 1430A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the special symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 to determine whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently operating. Check. In the case of Yes in step 1430A, in step 1432A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop unit 1221b-2 temporarily stops the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 in operation. Then, in step 1433A, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits a symbol change temporary stop signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and proceeds to step 1434A. Note that the process also proceeds to step 1434A even in the case of No in step 1426A and step 1430A.

  Next, in step 1434A, the special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434A, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434A, in step 1436A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. Next, in step 1438A, the special figure display control means 1151 stops the special symbol variable display on the special figure display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 and is stored in the special figure information temporary storage means 1191b. Display control is performed with the stop symbol as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1440A, the special figure display control means 1151 turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1442A, the special figure fluctuation time management unit 1151a resets the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1. Next, in step 1450A, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process, and proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402A, in step 1444A, the special figure display control means 1151 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in Step 1444A, the process proceeds to Step 1424A, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in Step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time reduction counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and performs the next process {first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500 ( + Gaming state determination process after the first special game is finished)}. Even in the case of No in step 1452 and step 1456, the process proceeds to the next process {first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500 (+ game state determination process after the completion of the first special game)}.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the first special game operating condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the first condition determination unit 1171a refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the first condition determination unit 1171a determines whether or not the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 has stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506 and step 1508, the first condition determination unit 1171a turns on the first special game transition permission flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and turns off the winning flag. Next, in step 1552 and step 1554, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a, resets the time counter 1181a (time counter count value = 0), and next The process proceeds to (the first special game execution process in step 2000). It should be noted that, also in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game execution process in step 2000).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special game execution process according to the subroutine of step 2000 in FIG. First, in step 2002, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the first special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2002, in step 2004, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a first special game start signal to the first effect display control means 2150 side. Next, in Step 2006 and Step 2008, the first special game execution means 1171b turns off the first special game transition permission flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns on the first special game execution flag, The process proceeds to step 2012. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2002, in step 2010, the first special game execution means 1171b determines whether or not the first special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 2010, the process proceeds to step 2012. In the case of No in step 2010, the first special game execution means 1171b determines that the permission for the first special game has not been granted and proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000). Transition.

  Next, in step 2012, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine whether. If Yes in step 2012, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 2023 without performing the processes in steps 2014 to 2022 described in detail below. On the other hand, if No in step 2012, that is, if it is just before the start of the round, first in step 2014, the first special game execution means 1171b clears the first special game timer 1171c-1 to zero and has a predetermined value. (For example, 30 seconds for a special game based on jackpot and 0.5 seconds for a special game based on jackpot). Next, in Step 2016, the first special game executing means 1171b clears the winning ball counter in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c to zero. In step 2018, the first special game execution means 1171b adds 1 to the round number counter in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c. The number of rounds stored in the first special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c is 0 immediately after the start of the first special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time the rounds are repeated. Next, in Step 2020, the first special game executing means 1171b turns on the round continuation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 2022, the first special game executing means 1171b drives the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 to open the first big prize opening 2120, and proceeds to step 2023.

  Next, in step 2023, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the first effect display control means 2150 side. In step 2024, the first special game execution unit 1171b refers to the first special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2024, in step 2026, the first special game execution unit 1171b refers to the first special game timer 1171c-1 and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in Step 2026, the process proceeds to Step 2028, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in Step 3000).

  Next, in step 2028, the first special game executing means 1171b stops driving the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 and closes the first big prize opening 2120. In step 2030, the first special game executing means 1171b resets the first special game timer 1171c-1. Next, in Step 2032, the first special game executing means 1171 b turns off the round continuation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191 a. Next, in Step 2034, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c to determine whether or not the round is the final round (for example, a special game based on jackpot 15 rounds in the case of, and 1 round in the case of special games based on small hits). In the case of Yes in Step 2034, in Step 2040, the error control means 1500 after the end of the special game refers to the first game state temporary storage means 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2040, in step 2042, the forced error execution means 1502 accesses the flag area of the error information temporary storage means 1504, turns on the special post-game forced error flag, and proceeds to step 2036. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2040, step 2042 is skipped and the process proceeds to step 2036. In step 2036, the first special game execution means 1171b turns off the first special game execution flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 2038, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a first special game end signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. In step 1550, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the first special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000). Even in the case of No in step 2034, the process proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the state determination process regarding the first game after the end of the first special game according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1556, the specific game control means 1180 resets the time reduction counter 1181a (time reduction counter value = 0). In step 1558, the specific game control unit 1180 determines whether the special symbol attribute stopped on the special symbol display unit 2131 is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1558, in step 1562, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns on the time reduction flag. In step 1564, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 5) as the time-count counter value in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000).

First, in step 3102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1112 determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflowed or passed through) the general-purpose start entrance 2310. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the common random number acquisition determination execution unit 1122 refers to the general map hold information temporary storage unit 1132 a and determines whether or not the number of held balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). In the case of Yes in step 3104, in step 3106, the normal random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 acquires the normal symbol winning random number. Next, in step 3108, the general figure holding means 1132 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number together with the information on what number of the holding is in the general figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a. The process proceeds to the normal symbol display process in step 3200. In addition, also when it is No in step 3102 and step 3104, it transfers to the following process (normal symbol display process of step 3200).

In the case of Yes in step 3240, in step 3242, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the normal symbol hit flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a, and proceeds to step 3218. On the other hand, if No at step 3240, step 3242 is skipped and the routine goes to step 3218.

  Next, in step 3218, the usual figure change time management means 1152a gives a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds for the short game, 30 seconds for the normal game) to the usual figure change management timer 1152a-1. set. In step 3220, the normal figure display control means 1152 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 3222, the general-purpose holding means 1132 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1132a after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the normal symbol, and the general-purpose display control. The means 1152 starts the normal symbol variation display on the universal diagram display unit 2321 after starting the common diagram variation management timer 1152a-1. Next, in step 3224, the normal time fluctuation time management means 1152a refers to the normal time fluctuation management timer 1152a-1, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 3224, in step 3226, the general map display control unit 1152 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination unit 1142 in the above step 3216 on the general map display unit 2321. In step 3228, the normal figure display control means 1152 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a, and proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 3300).

  If NO in step 3203, step 3206, and step 3224, the process proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 3300). If NO in step 3204, the process proceeds to step 3224.

Rest is possible. (Please press the button. "). Next, in step 6406, the first effect display control means 2150 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not an error display end command has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6406, in step 6408, the first effect display control means 2150 ends the forced error display that has been executed on the first effect display device 2140, and performs the next process (decorative symbol display control in step 6100). Process). In the case of No in step 6402, the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display control process in step 6100), and in the case of No in step 6406, the process proceeds to step 6404.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the player rotates the handle 10 clockwise, a game ball is released into the game area 1 (see FIG. 1). The released game ball falls downward while repeatedly colliding with obstacles such as nails and windmills.

  Here, when the game ball enters the special symbol starting port 2110, the special symbol starts to change on the special symbol display unit 2131 in the special symbol display device 2130. Then, after the stoppage of fluctuation, when the stop symbol is a big hit mode, the first big prize opening 2120 is opened for a long period of time, and a transition to the “first special game” related to the big hit is made. When the stop symbol is in the small hit state after the fluctuation stop, the first big winning opening 2120 is opened for a short period of time, and the process proceeds to the “first special game” related to the small hit.

  On the other hand, when the game ball enters the start opening 2210, the electric winning combination 2224 of the second big winning opening 2220 is opened, and the “second special game” (first of the second special game) related to the small hit Stage). When the game ball enters the specific area 172 in the second big prize opening 2220 in the open state, the electric accessory 2224 of the second big prize opening 2220 is kept open for a long time. The process proceeds to “second special game” (second stage of the second special game).

  Here, when the game shifts to the first special game or the second special game related to the jackpot, in the normal game state, the big winning opening 2120 (the electric accessory 2122) which is closed is opened for a long time, and a considerable game ball is Can be earned. Then, after the special game is over, the first effect display device 2140 (or the second effect display device 2230) displays “Currently a compulsory error. Rest is possible. Press the operation button to cancel.” Is displayed. In this state, nothing happens when a game ball is fired. Specifically, even if the ball enters the special figure starting port 2110, the symbol does not change and is not held, and even if the ball enters the starting port 2210, the electric accessory 2224 of the second big winning port 2220 does not open or close. In addition to these, even if a game ball enters any of the winning openings, it is not executed if the winning ball is paid out. In this way, the game does not proceed at all under the forced error state, so that the player can take a toilet break or the like. When the player operates the operation button 5000, the forced error state is canceled and the game proceeds as usual. Specifically, for example, when a holding ball is present, the symbol starts to change.

  On the other hand, even if it shifts to the 1st special game or the 2nd special game which relates to the jackpot which relates to the small hit, after the special game ends, it does not become the above-mentioned forced error state, but the game advances as usual.

  According to this best mode, after the special game is finished, it is configured to be in a forced stop state until there is a forced stop release command by the operating means. Even in a gaming machine having a high profit status immediately after the game ends, the player can take a break even immediately after the special game ends without losing the profit of the player. Furthermore, even if there is no special equipment such as a side lamp, the hall staff can be surely transmitted to the hall staff even after the special game is over. Thus, even if the winning symbol cannot be confirmed during the special game, there is an effect that the merit of the lucky number system can be surely enjoyed. Further, as a result of the forced stop state at each jackpot, the hall staff can sensuously recognize to what player the jackpot has occurred by releasing the forced stop. As a result, if you discover a player who owns a lot of game balls even though there are not so many jackpots (or no jackpots at all), the sign of suspicious behavior Even if it does not, etc., it becomes suspiciously suspicious, so there is also an effect that it becomes possible to quickly find fraud.

  This best mode relates to a type 1 and type 2 pachinko gaming machine that has a high profit state immediately after the end of the special game and has a complicated game content. Then, by forcing the error state after the end of the special game, in addition to the above effects, (1) the player can confirm the game content with the hall staff, thereby not recognizing the game content. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of disadvantages due to the fact that (2) the hall staff side can also confirm whether the player understands the game content. .

  Next, the B type (losing stop symbol forced stop type) of the best mode will be described. Here, when the special symbol is fluctuating during execution of the second special game, the type prevents the transition to the first special game by forcibly stopping the special symbol with the stop-of-miss symbol. It is.

  First, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The pachinko gaming machine related to type B is forced to lose the special symbol related to the first game when the second game shifts to the special game instead of the special figure variation timer temporary stop means 1221b-2 of type A. It is characterized by having a lost symbol forced replacement means 1221b-3.

  Next, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 27 and 28. Here, FIG. 27 is a flowchart relating to the processing on the main side, and more specifically, a flowchart of the special symbol display processing relating to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. Note that most of them are the same as those in FIG. 8 and are different only in that Steps 1424B to 1431B exist. Therefore, only the difference will be described. After the special symbol starts to change in step 1422B, in step 1424B, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, and presently displays the second special game related flag ( For example, it is checked whether or not the second special game transition permission flag and the second special game execution flag are off, that is, whether or not the second special game is currently being executed. If YES in step 1424B, the process proceeds to step 1434B without performing the loss stop symbol forced stop processing according to this flow. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424B, in step 1425B, first, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a confirmation display command for forcibly stopping with a lost symbol to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. Next, in step 1427B, the lost symbol forced replacement unit 1221b-3 forcibly replaces the stop symbol stored in the special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b with the lost stop symbol, and the first operation avoidance executing unit. 1221b clears the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 to zero. As a result, the replaced lost stop symbol is fixedly displayed on the special figure display unit 2131. In step 1429B, the first operation avoidance control unit 1221 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1429B, in step 1431B, the first operation avoidance control unit 1221 turns off the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a. As a result, not only does the stoppage of the lost game stop, but the winning right also disappears internally.

  In addition, this type B is configured such that when the forced loss stop condition is satisfied, the changing symbol is immediately replaced with the loss stop symbol, but the change is extended until the loss mode is displayed as the stop symbol. A so-called “slip” method may be used.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart relating to the sub-side process, and more specifically, a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process relating to the subroutine of Step 6100 in FIG. Most of the steps are the same as those in FIG. 23, and only the processing between step 6109B to step 6111B is different. Therefore, only the differences will be described. In step 6109B, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a receives a signal for forcibly stopping the main symbol from the main controller 1000 with reference to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 6109B, in step 6111B, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a forcibly stops the decorative symbol that is changing on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140 with the loss stop symbol, step 6119B. Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6109B, the process proceeds to step 6116B.
