Is temporarily stored in the memory (RAM 114), and when the one game period ends, the next game, that is, the first special symbol on the first special figure display 10 starts to change. A maximum of four pieces of detection information of the first start port SW13a can be stored in the memory.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, during the second opening / closing game (short-time game), when a winning of a game ball is detected at the second start opening SW15a of the electric chew 15, the game is output from the second start opening SW15a. At the timing of the fall of the output pulse, the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 12 starts to change, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the second special symbol changes. If the second special symbol is a small winning symbol after the fluctuation stops, the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning port 2 are awarded for the second predetermined time (1.6 seconds) after a predetermined interval time has elapsed. From the difficult closed state to the open state where it is easy to win. In addition, since the operation | movement of the movable distribution body 7 is the same as in the 1st opening / closing game, description is abbreviate | omitted.

The second open / close game shown in FIG. 5 (b) has a longer opening time than the first open / close game, so that the movable pieces 3L and 3R of the upper prize winning port 2 have a longer opening time. When 3R changes from the open state to the closed state, the movable distributing body 7 is inclined so that the special passage 5 side is lower than the neutral state. For this reason, the probability that the game ball won in the upper prize winning opening 2 through the movable pieces 3L and 3R is guided to the special passage 5 is higher than that in the first opening / closing game.
Note that even when a game ball is detected at the second start port SW15a within one game period, the information is temporarily stored in the memory (RAM 114), and when the one game period ends, the second special figure display 12 The variation of the second special symbol is started. A maximum of four pieces of detection information of the second start port SW15a can be stored in the memory.
When the detection information of the first start port SW13a and the detection information of the second start port SW15a are stored in the memory, the symbols of the first special figure display 10 and the second special figure display 12 are changed in the order of detection. Alternatively, the symbol variation of the second special figure display 12 may be preferentially performed.
Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the upper prize winning opening 2 is changed to be in the open state for the first predetermined time (0.8 seconds), The movable distributing body 7 is operated and controlled so that the winning game balls can be easily distributed to the normal passage 6, and the upper prize winning port 2 is changed to be in an open state for a second predetermined time (1.6 seconds). When it is, the movable distributing body 7 is controlled so that the game balls won in the upper prize winning opening 2 are easily distributed to the special passage 5.
Accordingly, it is possible to increase the probability that the jackpot is generated during the second opening / closing game (during the short game), compared to the probability that the jackpot is generated during the first opening / closing game (during the normal game). In other words, since the probability of winning continuously in success is increased, it is possible to acquire a large number of balls in a short time.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the upper prize winning port SW2a of the upper prize winning port 2, a first predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is paid out and the lower prize winning is achieved. When a game ball is detected by the mouth SW 16a, the number of payouts is adjusted so as to pay out a second predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls larger than the first predetermined number. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the number of balls that can be acquired with a jackpot during the second opening / closing game (during the short-time game) than the number of balls that can be acquired with a jackpot during the first opening / closing game (during the normal game). Therefore, if winning big hits continuously in a short-time game, it is possible to obtain a large number of balls in a short time.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the jackpot executed during the short-time game is more than the ratio in which the short-time game period adjusting means 62 selects the second short-time game after the jackpot game executed during the normal game ends. After the game is over, the time-short game period is adjusted so that the ratio of selecting the second time-short game is high. Thereby, compared with the probability that a jackpot will be generated during a normal game, the probability that a jackpot will be generated during a short-time game can be further increased, so that a large number of balls can be obtained in a short time.

If it is determined that the first or second special symbol is changing (S162: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the variable time has ended (S163), and it is determined that the variable time has ended. In this case (S163: Yes), a change stop command is transmitted to the first special figure display 10 or the second special figure display 12 (S164), and the change is ended (S165). Next, the variation time is reset (S166), the special figure stoppage process (S167) is executed, and then the process returns to the main process.
Note that if it is determined in step S161 that a big hit or a small hit is being made (S161: Yes), or if it is determined in step S163 that the variation time has not ended (S163: No), the process returns to the main process. .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S162 that the first or second special symbol is not changing (S162: No), the count value U2 of the second starting port detection counter that counts the number of times the second starting port SW15a is detected. Whether or not U2 ≧ 1 is determined (S168). If it is determined that the count value U2 is ≧ 1 (S168: Yes), the count value U2 is subtracted by “1” (S169). Then, the variation content selection process is executed (S170).
Next, a fluctuation start command is transmitted to the corresponding special figure display (in this case, the second special figure display 12) (S171), and the fluctuation of the corresponding special figure display is started (S172). Thereafter, measurement of the fluctuation time is started (S173), and then the process returns to the main process.

Thereafter, a second jackpot for opening the lower major winning opening 16 is started (S184), an opening is set (S185), and the process returns to the main process.
On the other hand, if the stop symbol is not a jackpot symbol in step S181 (S181: No), it is determined whether or not the special symbol stopped next is a jackpot symbol (S186), and the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol. If there is any (S186: Yes), it is determined whether or not it is a small hit via the first start port 13 (S187). When it is determined that it is a small hit via the first start port 13 (S187: Yes), the opening time of the movable pieces 3L, 3R is set to 0.8 seconds (S188), and the small pass via the first start port 13 is set. When it is determined that it is not a hit (S187: No), the opening time of the movable pieces 3L, 3R is set to 1.6 seconds (S189), and a small hit is started (S190). Thereafter, the process returns to the main process.
If the stopped special symbol is not a small hit symbol (S186: No), it is determined whether or not the value of the hour / hour counter J is “0” (S191), and the value of the hour / hour counter J is “0”. If so (S191: Yes), the process returns to the main process. If the value of the hour / hour counter J is not “0”, the hour / hour count J is decremented by “1” (S192). Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not the short time count value J is “0” (S193). If the short time count value J is “0” (S193: Yes), the gaming state is set to the normal gaming state. The process returns to the main process (S194). If the hourly count value J is not “0” (S193: No), the process returns to the main process without setting the normal gaming state.

[Normal map processing]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing normal symbol variation processing executed by the main CPU.
The function of the symbol display control means 59 is realized by the processing shown in FIG.
In this case, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the electric chew 15 is operating (S201). If the electric chew 15 is not operating (S201: No), whether or not the normal symbol is changing. Is determined (S202). If it is determined that the normal symbol is changing (S202: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the change time has ended (S203). If it is determined that the change time has ended (S203: Yes) ), The fluctuation is stopped (S204).
Next, the variation time is reset (S205), and it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is a winning symbol (S206). When it is determined that the stop symbol is a winning symbol (S206: Yes), the operation of the electric chew 15 is started (S207), and the process returns to the main process.
In step S206, if the stop symbol is not a winning symbol (S206: No), the process returns to the main process without operating the electric chew 15.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202 that the normal symbol is not changing (S202: No), it is determined whether the count value G of the gate counter of the gate SW 14a is G ≧ 1 (S208), When the count value G is ≧ 1 (S208: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the count value G (S209). Thereafter, the variation of the normal symbol display 11 is started (S210), and the measurement of the variation time is started (S210). After starting the measurement of the fluctuation time, the process returns to the main process.
If it is determined in step S208 that the count value G is not ≧ 1 (S208: No), the process returns to the main process.

[Normal electric character processing]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a normal power combination process executed by the main CPU.
The functions of the third opening / closing game control means 55 and the fourth opening / closing game control means 56 are realized by the processing shown in FIG.
In this case, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the electric chew 15 is in operation (S221). If the electric chew 15 is not in operation (S221: No), the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the time is short. Is performed (S222). If the time is shorter (S222: Yes), the opening time of the electric chew 15 is set to 3.5 seconds (S223). If not shorter (S222: No), the opening time of the electric chew 15 is set to 0. Set to 2 seconds (S224).
Next, it is determined whether or not it is in the interval (S225), and if it is determined that it is in the interval (S225: Yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has passed (S226). If it is determined that the time has passed (S226: Yes), the electric chew 15 is opened (S227). Next, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the electric chew 15 has elapsed (S228). If it is determined that the opening time of the electric chew 15 has elapsed (S228: Yes), the electric chew 15 is closed. (S229) The operation of the electric chew 15 is terminated (S230), and the process returns to the main process.
If it is determined in step S225 that the interval is not in progress (S225: No), the process proceeds to step S228.
In step S221, if the electric chew 15 is operating (S221: Yes), if it is determined in step S226 that the interval time has not elapsed (S226: No), the electric chew 15 is opened in step S228. If it is determined that the time has not elapsed (S228: No), the process returns to the main process.
