Description

  The present invention is an invention related to a pachinko gaming machine characterized by selection of a variable time pattern of a symbol during a specific game.

  With current pachinko machines, after special games (hereinafter sometimes referred to as jackpot games), the special symbol (symbol indicating whether or not the jackpot and the type of jackpot) will be shortened and the normal time of one game In many cases, control is performed to extend the open time (so-called short-time game) of an ordinary electric accessory (so-called electric cho) at the time of winning.

  In the short-time game, especially when the big hit lottery result is a loss, the synergistic effect of shortening the variation time of the special symbol and extending the opening of the electric tube, the number of variations per unit time is increased without reducing the number of balls. By increasing the number of lotteries per predetermined time, the player can expect so-called jackpot pullback.

In addition, recently, there are some digipachis (so-called “hanedigegi”) that have a high probability of jackpots (usually 1/100 or more in normal games), and the number of time reductions varies depending on the type of jackpot. From the standpoint of the player, even in the same short-time game mode, the short-time game mode (for example, the jackpot probability is 1/100 and the short-time game number is 100 times). At this time, the probability of winning the jackpot is about 63%). If the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, the long-term fluctuation such as lose reach will be reduced to promote the digestion of the retained balls, while the short cut time is relatively low. In the short-time game mode (for example, the probability of winning a jackpot is 1/100, the number of short-time games is 20 times, and the probability of winning a jackpot is about 18%), in order to maintain the sense of expectation for the jackpot, reach, pseudo continuous fluctuation There is a conflicting demand that it is desirable that long-term fluctuations such as the production pattern such as liquid crystal fluctuate several times in one special symbol variation time are frequent.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a pachinko gaming machine that includes a short game mode when the number is cut and a short game mode in which the short game mode is continued until the next jackpot lottery is won. Describes that the player is forced to reach in order to notify the player of the end of the short-time game mode during the last variable game. Moreover, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, the last one game in the short cut time short game mode has a longer variation time than other shortened variation times in order to fill up the holding ball when the short time game is finished. Is described.

  However, in these documents, as described above, with regard to digipachi (so-called honeydegi), which has a recent high probability of jackpot (usually 1/100 or more), based on the jackpot type, the pachinko machine has a different number of times. Even in the same short-time game mode, in the short-time game mode where the number of shorts is relatively large, if the result of the big hit lottery is lost, it is desirable to reduce long-term fluctuations such as lose reach and to promote digestion of the reserved balls, while cutting the number of times In the short-time game mode with a relatively small number of time-savings, in order to maintain a sense of expectation for jackpots, start of reach and pseudo-continuous variation (the production symbols such as liquid crystal fluctuate several times within one special symbol variation time) It would not satisfy the conflicting desire that frequent long-term fluctuations are desirable.

  Therefore, the purpose of this project is to provide a pachinko gaming machine that satisfies the above-mentioned conflicting demands and makes the short-time game with the upper limit number of games attractive.

Than the table that has been set in large the probability of selecting a symbol variation time to be a long period of time,
Further, the control unit
Remaining occurrence number storage means for storing the number of remaining occurrences of the special gaming state in which the special gaming state can be continued until reaching the predetermined number of times of operation of the probability variation limiter that is determined in advance .
The initial value of the probability variation limiter is stored in the remaining occurrence count storage means on condition that the non-probability initial mode (first game mode) is changed to the probability variation game mode (second, third, fourth, and fifth game modes). with sets, on condition that the special game state occurring in the probability variation gaming mode (second, third, fourth and fifth game mode), to update the memories of the remaining occurrence count storage means, probability variation gaming mode In the (second, third, fourth, and fifth game modes), the non-probability time-saving normal mode (sixth game mode) is entered on condition that the memory of the remaining occurrence count storage means has reached the number of operations of the probability change limiter. A pachinko gaming machine characterized by comprising means for controlling the number of occurrences of a reed villa to be transferred .

The invention of claim 3
The game mode transition control means shifts to the initial mode (first game mode) on condition that execution of the upper limit number of times of time shortening is executed when a special gaming state does not occur during the time-short normal mode (sixth game mode). When the special game state occurs during the short time normal mode (sixth game mode), the heaven mode (fifth game mode) is shifted to and the initial value of the probability variation limiter is stored in the remaining number of occurrences storage means. The pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein the pachinko gaming machine is set.

The invention of claim 4
The expected short-term variation mode (second, third and fourth games ) in which the expected value to be won in the special symbol lottery during the short-term normal mode (sixth game mode) is non-probabilistic and short. it is pachinko gaming machine according to claim 3, characterized in that greater than expected for the elected special symbol lottery in mode).
This continues in the first and second embodiment described below, without shifting to the fifth game mode, when it is left in a non-gaming state in the seventh game mode, until the limiter operation, the tenacious game By changing the game mode to the sixth game mode and increasing the expected value for winning the jackpot lottery in the sixth game mode, which is a chance game that can be transferred to the fifth game mode, the player who plays the seventh game mode It will improve your motivation. Even during the sixth game mode, even if the player is out of the jackpot lottery, the probability of selecting the shortest time variation is less than in the fifth game mode, so It is more effective to increase the selection probability of long-time fluctuation (so-called super reach production or pseudo continuous fluctuation production).

The invention of claim 5
3. A remaining occurrence number notifying means for notifying a player of the remaining number of occurrences of the special gaming state until the probability variation limiter stored in the remaining occurrence number storing means is activated . 4. A pachinko gaming machine according to any one of claims 4.
For example, in the second embodiment to be described later, by always informing the player of the remaining number of times that a special game occurs, the player wants to shift to the fifth game mode while the remaining number of special games remains as much as possible. I strongly hope that if the number of games in the short-time game state is short as in the second , third and fourth game modes, the probability of selecting the shortest time will be reduced even if it is out of the jackpot lottery, Increasing the selection probability of long-time fluctuations (so-called super-reach effects and pseudo-continuous fluctuation effects) that enthusiasm the player's happiness is even more effective.

The invention of claim 6
The remaining life occurrence number notifying means notifies the player of the remaining number of occurrences of the special gaming state until the probability variation limiter is operated only while staying in the heaven mode (fifth game mode). Item 8. A pachinko gaming machine according to item 5 .
For example, in the first embodiment to be described later, since the number of remaining jackpot games is known only when the game mode is changed to the fifth game mode, even when the player wins the jackpot game in the second game mode, The number of times that a jackpot game is newly generated will be very exciting, so even during the second game mode, even if you are out of the jackpot lottery, the probability of selecting the shortest time is reduced, and the player's euphoria will be long Increasing the selection probability of variation (so-called super-reach production or pseudo continuous production) is more effective.

The invention of claim 7
Probability of winning the special symbol lottery during probability variation is a pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2-6 any one, characterized in that it is more than 2 times the probability of winning the special symbol lottery at the time of non-probability variation is there.
For example, as in the embodiments described later, the probability of jackpot at normal time (low probability) of non- probability is about 1/100 and the probability of jackpot probability at high probability (high probability) is about 1/78. By doing so, even when staying in the so-called Hamari's seventh game mode with the pachinko machine, the willingness to shift to the fifth game mode advantageous to the player can be maintained. Therefore, in the second , third, and fourth modes, the probability of selecting the shortest time is reduced, and the selection probability of long-time fluctuation (so-called super reach effect or pseudo continuous effect effect) that encourages the player's joyfulness is increased. Is even more effective. In addition, the balance of balance is balanced by reducing the number of winning game balls for winning the jackpot game to about 500 as the jackpot probability is high.

The invention of claim 8
The control unit stores in common in the symbol variation time table corresponding to the short game mode during a predetermined game period which is a part of the short game mode, when the special symbol lottery is not won. The pachinko gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 7, further comprising means for selecting the shortest time among the symbol variation times .
For example, in the second game mode of the third embodiment which will be described later, before the short-time game starts, the liquid crystal display unit 14 notifies the liquid crystal display unit 14 that “the jackpot is reached if the 10th to 15th short-time game is reached”, and this period As described later, for a game that is lost in the jackpot lottery of (the 10th to 15th short-time games), a table G with a selection probability of 100% of the special symbol variation time of the variation pattern number “0” of 1 second is selected. . In other words, since the jackpot is determined when the reach is reached, the player can continue to be entertaining even if the short-term fluctuation is continued.

The invention of claim 9
The control unit is not informing the player about the upper limit number of games for a short time, and is relatively short when the special symbol lottery is not won in the one short time game mode in which the time is shortened for a relatively large upper limit number of games. During a game period that does not exceed the upper limit number of games in the other short-time game mode, which is shorter for a smaller upper limit number of games, refer to the symbol variation time selection table corresponding to the other short-time game mode to determine the symbol variation time. A means for selecting a symbol variation time with reference to a symbol variation time selection table corresponding to the one short-time game mode during a game period to be selected and exceeding a small upper limit number of games is provided. Item 2. A pachinko gaming machine according to item 1 .
For example, in FIG. 11, the jackpot lottery is won in the seventh game mode, and the number of short hours after the jackpot game ends is not notified (of course, the gameability that cannot be determined by the number of jackpot rounds). Then, the same variation time table B as in the second mode is used for the first 15 times out of the short time number of games 15 times in the second game mode and 2000 times of short time games in the fifth game mode. Thereby, since the player cannot easily determine which of the second game mode and the fourth game mode has been changed, an effect of enhancing the feeling of throb is produced. When a game is played in the fourth game mode, after the 16th time reduction, the variable time table A is followed when the big hit lottery is not won. On the other hand, the second game mode shifts to the seventh game mode.

According to the present invention, for example, as described above, for a recent digital jackpot having a high jackpot probability (1/100 or more in a normal game) (so-called honeydegi), the pachinko machine having a different number of times based on the jackpot type. Even in the same short-time game mode, in the short-time game mode where the number of short times at the time of cut-off (the maximum number of short times at the upper limit) is relatively large, if the result is a lottery lottery, there will be less long-term fluctuations such as lost reach, etc. On the other hand, in the short-time game mode where the number of short cuts is relatively small, in order to maintain a sense of expectation for the big hit, reach, pseudo-continuous variation (with a special symbol variation time, multiple production designs such as liquid crystal etc.) It is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine that satisfies the conflicting demand that long-term fluctuations such as (which fluctuate once) are desirable. To. In addition, for example, when there are a plurality of time-saving games having different upper limit number of games, it is possible to make the time-saving game more attractive by taking in the gaming characteristics according to claims 8 to 9 .

  First, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1. The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a main body frame 56 that is rotatably attached to a base frame (outer frame) 2. The front door 3 is formed with a substantially circular window 4 that opens at the top. A transparent plate 55 such as a glass plate is fitted into the window 4, and the game board 5 (see FIG. 2) attached to the main body frame 56 is visually recognized through the transparent plate 55. Can do. The front door 3 is attached to the main body frame 56 and can be rotated forward from the main body frame 56 and opened forward. Around the game board 5, lamps L <b> 1 that enhance the production effect are installed.

  A ball receiver (ball receiving tray) 6 for storing a game ball as a game medium is disposed below the front door 3. The game balls stored in the ball receiver 6 are supplied one by one to a launching device (not shown) provided inside the pachinko gaming machine 1. A handle 7 is provided on the right side of the ball receptacle 6, and a player holds the handle 7 and rotates it around the axis line, thereby launching game balls one by one from the launcher toward the game board 5. Is done.

  At the bottom of the game board 5, push buttons 8, 9, and 10 that operate as operation means are arranged. These push buttons are used when the player participates in the game.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing the configuration of the game board 5 shown in FIG. On the periphery of the game board 5, a substantially arc-shaped guide rail 13 for guiding the game ball launched from the launch device to the upper left side of the game board 5 is disposed. A large number of obstacle nails (not shown) are arranged on the game board 5, and the game balls released upward from the upper left side of the game board 5 along the guide rail are along the board surface of the game board 5. And fall down through a number of obstacle nails.

  A liquid crystal display unit 14, which is an example of an image display unit, is disposed almost at the center of the game board 5. The liquid crystal display unit 14 displays a pattern variation including a reach effect and displays a background image effect and the like. Numbers such as 1, 2, 3... Are used for the design, but letters such as alphabets and character designs can be used. Instead of the liquid crystal display unit 14, a variable display device such as a cathode ray tube, a rotary reel, or a dot display may be used.

  Below the liquid crystal display unit 14, a start opening 18 and an accessory start opening 19 are arranged, which are specific areas that allow a game ball to enter and trigger a special symbol lottery (big hit lottery). An electric tulip (so-called electric Chu) 20 is attached to the accessory starting port 19. During normal times, the accessory starting port 19 is in a closed state so that a game ball cannot enter. That is, normally, the blades 201 and 202 of the electric tulip 20 are constricted close to each other, and the tips of the blades 201 and 202 are close to each other with a predetermined gap that makes it difficult to enter the ball from the start port 18. It has become. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is won, the blades 201 and 202 of the electric tulip 20 open to the left and right for a predetermined time and number of times, and guide the entry into the accessory starting port 19. On the left side of the liquid crystal display unit 14, a normal symbol start gate 21, which is a specific area that triggers a normal symbol lottery by passing a game ball, is provided.

  When a game ball enters the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19, a predetermined number of prize balls (game balls) are given to the player, and a special game state (hereinafter referred to as "hit game" or "hit game"). Random number lottery (including “big hit lottery”, “special symbol allocation lottery”, etc.) is performed to determine whether or not to shift to “Yes”.

  In the jackpot lottery, one random number value (referred to as “acquired random number value”) is arbitrarily acquired from the lottery random numbers. The pachinko gaming machine 1 holds a predetermined specific value (referred to as “big hit random value”), and determines whether or not the acquired random number value matches the big hit random value. Then, the game is shifted to the jackpot game on condition that the acquired random number value matches the jackpot random value.

  The special symbol distribution lottery is a lottery to determine the winning type of the jackpot lottery (“whether it is a promising big hit”, “number of jackpot rounds”, etc.), and to determine the special symbol type to inform the player of the decision result It is. The special symbol selected by the lottery is notified to the player by displaying the special symbol selected by the special symbol allocation lottery on the special symbol display unit 24. In addition, the liquid crystal display unit 14 performs an effect display for notifying the player of the result of the big hit lottery (referred to as “big hit lottery result derivation effect”).

  For example, three symbols are scrolled and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14. The symbol display on the liquid crystal display unit 14 starts to fluctuate in response to the game ball entering the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19, and after a predetermined time has passed, the three symbols scrolling stop in sequence. It will be done. The jackpot lottery result is also displayed by a combination of symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14 when the display of the three symbols is stopped. In the middle of the decisive display of the jackpot, an effect that expects a big hit such as a reach effect using the symbol variation or an effect of changing the background image (for example, causing a character to appear) is executed. Note that the remaining number of STs (the number of remaining jackpots), which will be described in detail later, may be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit.

  Below the accessory starting port 19, for example, a special winning port (large winning port) 22 that is formed in a rectangular shape that is long to the left and right and that allows a plurality of game balls to enter simultaneously is disposed. When the jackpot lottery is won, a jackpot game is started in which the big prize opening 22 related to the special electric accessory (opening / closing plate) 23 is opened, and the special prize opening (big prize opening) 22 is opened. In relation to the special prize opening 22, a special electric role that can be opened and closed in an open state for guiding the game ball to the special prize opening 22 and a closed state for preventing the game ball from entering the special prize opening (large prize opening) 22. An object (opening / closing plate 23) is provided. In other words, the opening / closing plate 23 can block the special prize opening 22 in a state along the board surface of the game board 5 and prevent the game ball from entering the special prize opening 22. The special winning opening 22 is opened by falling on the front side around a pivot shaft (not shown) arranged along the lower edge of the winning opening 22 and falls onto the special winning opening 22. The game ball can be introduced into the special winning opening 22.

  On the left side of the liquid crystal display unit 14, a windmill 27 for influencing the flow of game balls is arranged. In addition, at the lower part of the game board 5, two normal winning holes 28 are provided on the left side and one on the right side (three in total) that only gives a prize ball to the game ball. . The game balls (out balls) that have not entered the start opening 18, the accessory start opening 19, the big winning opening 22, and the normal winning opening 28 are recovered from the out ball collection opening 29 formed in the lower part of the game board 5. The In addition, an effect lamp L2 for providing a decoration effect that enhances the effect executed in the liquid crystal display unit is provided on the upper portion of the liquid crystal display unit 14.

  On the lower right side of the liquid crystal display unit 14, a special symbol display unit 24, a normal symbol display unit 25, a special symbol hold display unit 26, and a normal symbol hold display unit 27 are provided. The special symbol display unit 24 uses a 7-segment display, and performs a segment display indicating a special symbol lottery (big hit lottery) result for each start winning prize. In the following, “special symbol” may be abbreviated as “special symbol”. The normal symbol display unit 25 uses, for example, red and green light emitting diodes, and when a game ball passes through the normal symbol start gate 21, a lottery is performed. The green light emitting diode is turned on, and the blades 201 and 202 of the electric tulip 20 are opened for a predetermined time and number of times. On the other hand, when it is lost, the red light emitting diode is turned on. Each of the special symbol hold display unit 26 and the normal symbol hold display unit 27 uses a 7-segment display, and displays the number of game balls holding the result display regarding the special symbol and the normal symbol lottery. In the following, “ordinary symbol” may be simplified and described as “general symbol”.

Next, various processing procedures executed by a game program (not shown) in the ROM 112 of the main control unit 110 will be described.
Start-up process (Figure 4)
FIG. 4 shows the processing procedure of the start port process executed by the game program (not shown) in the ROM 112 of the main control unit 110 when the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19 is won. First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the winning sensor 31 of the start port 18 and the winning sensor 34 of the accessory starting port 19 have detected a winning. If NO is determined, the same determination is made in step S1. repeat. On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S1, the process proceeds to step S2, where it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol reservations is 4. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S6, while NO. If it is determined, 1 is added to the number of special symbol reservations in the next step S3. Further, in step S4, the big hit lottery random number R1 is acquired from the random number generator built in the CPU of the main control unit 110 and recorded in the special symbol holding storage area of the RAM. The current value of the symbol variation time lottery random number R3 is recorded in the special symbol holding storage area of the RAM 113. Then, a prize ball payout process is executed in the last step S6, and the process returns to step S1.

Through gate processing (Figure 5)
FIG. 5 shows the processing procedure of the gate process executed by the game program in the ROM 112 of the main control unit 110 when the game ball passes through the normal symbol start gate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a through gate) 21. Yes. First, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the through gate sensor 33 of the through gate 21 has detected the passage of a ball. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S11. On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S11, the process proceeds to step S12, where it is determined whether or not the number of pending maps is four. If NO is determined, the number of pending maps is determined in the next step S13. In step S14, the current value of the random number for random drawing R5 is recorded in the regular drawing storage area of the RAM 113, and the process returns to step S11. On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S12, the process returns to step S11.

Special symbol game processing (Fig. 6)
FIG. 6 shows a procedure of special symbol game processing executed by the game program in the ROM 112 of the main control unit 110 in response to a winning at the start opening 18 or the accessory start opening 19. First, in step S20, it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol holds is 0. If YES is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S20. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S21, and 1 is subtracted from the number of special symbol reservations. At step S22, each of the random numbers R1 to R3 related to the first acquisition to be selected, and the save The special symbol reservation storage area that has been vacated by the process is pre-packed. In the next step S23, a jackpot lottery is performed. Specifically, referring to the first jackpot lottery table storing 11 winning determination values in the normal state and the second jackpot lottery table storing 14 winning determination values in the probability variation state, each jackpot If either of the winning determination values stored in the lottery table matches the jackpot lottery random number R1 to be a lottery, it is determined that the jackpot winning, and if not, it is determined to be lost.

  In the next step S24, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is won. If NO is determined, that is, if it is determined that the game is lost, the process proceeds to step S25, and a special symbol variation time selection lottery is performed. In synchronism with special symbol variation described later, the liquid crystal display unit 14 executes a moving image effect accompanied by scroll variation of the effect symbols of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol. Specifically, after starting the change of the left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol all at once, stop in the order of left symbol, right symbol, middle symbol, or stop the left symbol and right symbol at the same time, and then change the middle symbol As a result, if any three of the effect symbols (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot symbol combination) is established on the active line, the jackpot is not a match of the three effect symbols (hereinafter referred to as the lose symbol combination). Will be lost.

  When the reach effect is selected in the special figure variation time selection lottery at the time of loss, a reach state in which a jackpot symbol combination may be established on the effective line when the symbol variation of the left symbol and the right symbol of the liquid crystal display unit 14 is stopped After that, a so-called losing reach effect is executed to stop the middle symbol so that the jackpot symbol combination is not established on the active line where the reach state is established. The so-called normal lose effect includes a so-called pseudo continuous effect in which the effect symbol fluctuates a plurality of times while the special symbol fluctuates once.

  A plurality of types of lost reach productions are prepared, and each of the lost reach productions is basically configured to be paired with each of a plurality of types of jackpot effects executed at the time of winning the jackpot. In both effects, there is little difference in the production process leading to the final display, although the design that is finally displayed is different in that the former is a losing design and the latter is a jackpot design. It becomes difficult to determine whether or not. Therefore, even when a lottery is lost in the jackpot lottery, the player's sense of expectation for the jackpot winning can be effectively enhanced by executing the lose reach presentation with a certain probability. In addition, when performing a jackpot presentation and a lose reach production, in order to sufficiently increase the expectation for the jackpot, basically, a longer production time is required compared to the case of a normal lose performance production. The special symbol change time is set to be longer than when performing a normal loss production.

  Further, when a winning at the starting port 18 or the accessory starting port 19 occurs during the special symbol variation, the number of special symbol reservation increases (see step S3 in FIG. 4), and the special symbol is varied during the special symbol variation. Since the number of reserves does not decrease (see steps S32 to S35 in FIG. 6), the longer the special symbol variation time becomes, the easier the special symbol reserve number increases. Therefore, when the lottery is lost and the number of special symbol reservations is small, the increase in the number of special symbol reservations can be promoted by executing the lost reach effect with a long special symbol variation time.

  On the other hand, if there is a large number of special symbols on hold, or if an effect such as losing reach with a long special symbol variation time is executed during the short-time game that makes it easy to win a prize starting port 19, special symbol variation If the number of special symbol reserves tends to reach the upper limit of 4 due to winning at the starter 18 or the accessory starter 19 in the middle, and if it becomes 4, the lottery lottery at the time of winning at both the starters 18 and 19 The random numbers related to are not acquired (see step S2 in FIG. 4). In this case, the player often makes a so-called stop-stop, which stops the launch of the game ball, and if this situation occurs frequently, not only will the smooth game progress be hindered, but also result in a substantial decrease in the operating rate. This is also disadvantageous for the hall side. In order to prevent this, the selection probability of long-time effects such as losing reach is set to be low when the number of special symbol reservations is large or during short-time games, and high when the number of special symbol reservations is small. .

  Here, the short-time game will be described again. Short-time game means that when the normal symbol lottery is won, the normal symbol variation time will be shortened to the extent that the player's possession ball that keeps firing the game ball on the game board will not decrease, and the bonus start The opening time of the electric tulip 20 in the mouth 19 is lengthened. In particular, in the present invention, the variation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds during normal games (for example, the first game mode described later) such as the initialization, and when the normal symbol lottery is won, While the opening operation of the electric tulip 20 is executed only once for 0.5 seconds, in the short-time game, the variation time of the normal symbol is 3 seconds, and when the normal symbol lottery is won, the actor starts The opening operation of the electric tulip 20 in the mouth 19 is executed three times for 1.8 seconds, with an interval of 0.5 seconds. As described above, the extension extension of the electric tulip is executed, and in order to promote the digestion of the reserved ball that has entered the accessory starting port, the variation time of the special symbol is relatively longer than that in the normal game. A state where the time is short is a short-time game. In this embodiment, the normal symbol winning probability is 250/252 for both normal games and short-time games, and it is a specification to win with high probability, but during short-time games, compared to during normal games You may make it win with high probability.

  The special symbol variation time lottery at the time of losing in S25 of FIG. 6 is selected based on, for example, each table of FIG. In this embodiment, when the game ball passes through the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19, the random number for variable time lottery to be acquired is 256 from 0 to 255. For example, based on the normal lose table C Thus, when the lottery is performed, the probability that the special symbol variation time of 13 seconds, which is a normal loss of the variation pattern number 10, is selected corresponds to 160 of the 256 random numbers, so the selection probability (distribution) Ratio) is 62.5%. Here, the special symbol variation time corresponding to the normal lose is one type of 13 seconds. However, in order to promote the game, the variation time varies depending on the number of special symbol retentions (for example, the number of retained balls is four). In this case, a table that selects a fluctuation time shorter than the 13 seconds) may be used.

  On the other hand, when it is determined as YES in step S24 shown in FIG. 6, that is, when the big hit lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S29 and the big hit type lottery is performed. In the jackpot type lottery, the jackpot type lottery number is determined based on the jackpot type lottery random number R2 and the jackpot type lottery table shown in FIG. As a result, the jackpot type number is determined as one of 1 to 3. If NO is determined in step S24, that is, if the game is out of the big hit lottery, 0 is set in the big win type number.

  In the next step S30, a special figure fluctuation time determination process at the time of big hit is executed. Specifically, the special figure fluctuation pattern number is determined based on a special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 and a special figure fluctuation pattern lottery table at the time of jackpot not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the next step S <b> 31, an effect start command is transmitted to the CPU 121 of the sub control unit 120. The effect start command includes a jackpot type number and a special figure variation pattern number, and the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 determines whether the special figure fluctuation is stopped according to the jackpot type number. It is possible to determine whether or not to display a jackpot symbol on the active line, and according to the special figure variation pattern number, it is possible to determine whether it is a loss effect or a jackpot effect and the special figure variation time It has become. Therefore, the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 can execute an effect in accordance with the special figure stop display result, that is, the big hit lottery result, in synchronization with the special figure fluctuation, by receiving the production start command.

  In the subsequent step S32, measurement of the special figure fluctuation and fluctuation time in the special symbol display unit 24 is started, and in the next step S33, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation time has elapsed, and until it is determined YES, Repeat the same judgment. In addition, during the movement of the special figure, the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 executes various moving image effects on the liquid crystal display unit 14.

  In the next step S34, an effect stop command is transmitted to the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120, and the special figure change is terminated in step S35. As shown in FIG. 7B, a stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot type number is displayed. It is displayed on the special symbol display unit 24. In addition, the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 that has received the effect stop command confirms and displays the jackpot symbol or the off symbol that matches the stop symbol of the special symbol display unit 24 on the effective line of the liquid crystal display unit 14.

  In the next step S36, it is determined whether or not a time-saving game is being performed. If YES is determined, 1 is subtracted from the time-saving remaining number in step S37. Further, in the next step S38, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0, and if YES is determined, the time-saving game is terminated in step S39, and the process proceeds to step S40. Also, if NO is determined in steps S36 and S38, the process proceeds to step S40. In step S40, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is won. If NO is determined, the process returns to step S20. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to the jackpot game process in step S41, and the jackpot game process is determined. After the end, the process returns to step S20.

Jackpot game processing (Figure 8)
As shown in FIG. 8, in the jackpot game process, first, in step S50, it is determined whether or not the probability change is in progress. If YES is determined, one is subtracted from the consecutive number (ST number described later) in step S51. If NO is determined, 15 is set as the continuous number (ST number) in step S52, and the process proceeds to step S53. In step S53, as shown in FIG. 7C, according to the jackpot type number, the maximum number of rounds, the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 22, and the maximum count of winnings to the big winning opening 22 allowed in each round. In step S54, the number of rounds is set to 1 and the count number is set to 0 in step S55. Then, in step S56, the prize winning port role driving unit 62 is operated to set the number of winning prizes. 22 is opened and the measurement of the opening time is started.

  While the special winning opening 22 is being opened, it is determined in step S57 whether the winning sensor 32 of the special winning opening 22 has detected a win. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S58 and the count is incremented by one. In addition, in the next step S59, it is determined whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. If YES is determined in the step S59, the process proceeds to a step S61 so as to close the special winning opening 22 by operating the special winning combination accessory driving unit 62. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S57 and step S59, the process proceeds to step S60 to determine whether or not the maximum opening time, that is, 30 seconds has elapsed after the special winning opening 22 is opened. In that case, in step S61, the special prize opening accessory driving unit 62 is actuated to close the special prize opening 22, while if NO, the process returns to step S57.

After closing the special winning opening 9 in step S61, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is equal to the maximum number of rounds in step S62. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the number of rounds and the process proceeds to step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined YES, the process proceeds to the game state setting process after the jackpot game in step S63, and the process returns after the game state setting process after the jackpot game is completed. As a result, when the jackpot type number is 1, that is, when 2R jackpot game is won, about 360, when the jackpot type number is 2, ie, when 5R jackpot game is won, about 720, and the jackpot type number is 3 That is, if a 15R jackpot game is won, about 1920 balls can be obtained.

Normal symbol game processing (Figure 9)
FIG. 9 shows a processing procedure of a normal symbol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a common figure) game process executed by a game program in the ROM 112 of the main control unit 110 triggered by the passing of the game ball to the through gate 21. ing. First, in step S90, it is determined whether or not the number of normal symbols is 0. If YES is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S90. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S91, and the normal symbol holding number is decremented by 1, and at step S92, the random number is saved according to the first acquisition that is the lottery object, and the evacuation process causes a free space. The normal symbol hold storage area is pre-packed. In the next step S93, a normal symbol winning (hereinafter referred to as “small hit”) lottery is performed. Specifically, referring to the lottery table in which 250 winning determination values are stored in both the normal state and the short time state, one of the winning determination values stored in the small lottery table and the random number for the big hit lottery subject to the lottery If they match, it is determined that a small win is won, and if they do not match, it is determined to be lost.

  In the next step S94, it is determined whether or not a short-time game is in progress. If NO is determined, the normal time is set to 30 seconds. If YES is determined, the normal time is set to 3 seconds. To do. In the next step S97, the variation of the normal symbol is started. In step S98, it is determined whether or not the variation time set in step S95 or step S96 has elapsed. If NO, the same process is repeated until the fluctuation time elapses. If YES, normal symbol fluctuation is stopped in step 99. Next, in step 100, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is won. If NO, the process returns to S90, and if YES, the process proceeds to the normal symbol process of step S101. Note that, as described above, the normal symbol display unit 25 uses, for example, red and green light emitting diodes. When the lottery is won, the green light emitting diodes are turned on after a predetermined time fluctuation, and a loss of When the red light emitting diode lights up.

Normal game processing (Figure 10)
In the normal game process, it is first determined in step S110 whether or not a short-time game is in progress. If YES is determined, in step S111, the opening time is set to 1.8 seconds and the maximum number of opening times is set to 3, while If NO is determined, in step S112, the opening time is set to 0.5 seconds, and the maximum opening frequency is set to 1. Subsequently, in step S113, the maximum count number is set to 9, and in step S114, the opening number is set to 1, respectively, and in step S115, the count number is set to 0. In step S116, the start opening accessory driving unit 61 is turned on. The operation of the electric chew 20, that is, the opening of the accessory starting port 19, and the measurement of the opening time are started.

  While the accessory starting port 19 is open, it is determined in step S117 whether the winning sensor 34 of the accessory starting port 19 has detected a winning. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S118 and the count number is reached. In step S119, it is determined whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. If YES is determined in step S119, the process proceeds to step S120, where the starting port accessory driving unit 61 is operated to close the electric chew 20, that is, the accessory starting port 19.

  On the other hand, if NO is determined in steps S117 and S119, it is determined in step S121 whether or not the maximum opening time has elapsed after opening the accessory starting port 19, and if YES is determined, In step S122, the accessory starting port 19 is closed and the process proceeds to step S123. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process returns to step S117. In the next step S123, it is determined whether or not the number of times of opening is equal to the maximum number of times of opening. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the number of times of opening and timing is started in step S124. In the next step S125, it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed. If YES is determined, the process returns to step S116. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated. On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S123, the normal game process is terminated and the process returns.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, each game mode and game mode transition of this embodiment corresponding to the game state setting process after the jackpot game in step S63 of FIG. 8 will be described. The jackpot probability of the special symbol of this embodiment is 11/1097 (1 / 99.73). In addition, when the jackpot lottery is won in the normal game, after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to a probable (high probability) game regardless of the type of the jackpot, and in the promiscuous game, the jackpot winning probability is 14/1097 (1/78). .36). That is, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, since there is no great difference between the jackpot probability at the time of normal game (non-probability change game) and the probability change, for example, the jackpot probability under the probability change state is 10 times that under the normal state, and the probability change Compared to a conventional pachinko machine in which the player is remarkably advantageous in the state, the control specification is such that the player is not so advantageous in the probabilistic state.
In addition, the probability variation gaming state continues until the 15th big hit game execution, and after the 15th big hit game (including the first big hit after the initialization), the probability variation limiter function is activated and the normal game Fall to a state (low probability state). Hereinafter, the number of jackpots after the first jackpot game after the initialization (so-called consecutive resorts) will be referred to as the ST number. At the end of the jackpot game after the initialization, the ST count 15 times (the probability variation limiter is 15 times) is stored in the ST remaining count storage means 155.

  In addition, the normal symbol winning probability is 250/252 for both normal time and short time. The variation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds in normal time (hereinafter referred to as non-hour short) at the time of the initialization or the like, and when the normal symbol lottery is won, While the opening operation of the tulip 20 is executed only once for 0.5 seconds, when the time is short, the opening operation of the electric tulip 20 of the accessory starting port 19 is performed for 1.8 seconds with an interval of 0.5 seconds. Is executed three times. In this way, a state in which the extension extension of the electric tulip is executed and the variation time of the special symbol is relatively shorter than that in the normal game is referred to as a time-short game state.

  With reference to FIG.11 and FIG.12, the process flow of the main control part 110 with respect to a 1st game mode (initial mode) is demonstrated. In this embodiment, the jackpot round distribution when winning the jackpot lottery is 50% for 2R, 47% for 5R, and 3% for 15R in any game mode. The first game mode (initial mode) when initialization of the pachinko gaming machine is executed is a non-probable change / non-short-time game state.

  In the first game mode, it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP11), and if not, the determination is repeated until the winner is won (NO in SP11). When winning (YES in SP11), a jackpot game is executed (SP12). After the jackpot game ends, the ST remaining number is set and stored at 15 (SP13). Next, when the jackpot is a 15R jackpot (YES in SP14), a transition is made to a fifth game mode (heaven mode) described later. When the jackpot is 5R or 2R (NO at SP14 and shifts to SP16), the mode shifts to a second game mode (chance game A) described later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 13, the fifth game mode (heaven mode) to be transferred when the 15R jackpot is won in the first game mode will be described. The fifth game mode is a probability change / short time state, and the short time number is 2000 times. First, the time reduction count of 2000 is stored in the time reduction count storage means 156 (SP41). Next, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0 (SP42). If the remaining time is not 0 (NO in SP43), it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP43). NO at SP43), 1 is subtracted from the remaining time (SP44), and the process returns to SP42.

  When the number of time reductions is 0 in SP42 (YES in SP42), the process shifts to a seventh game mode, which will be described later in SP49, but the special symbol jackpot lottery winning probability is 14/1097 (1 / 78.36). ), The probability (expected value) of winning a big hit by 2000 times is substantially 100%, so there is no possibility of YES at SP42. When the fifth game mode is entered, the fifth game mode is continued until the probability variation limiter is activated (ST = 0). In this pachinko machine, how fast it is to enter the heaven mode is the player's greatest concern, but each stage will win a 15R jackpot or win in a short time (regardless of the number of jackpot rounds) Then, after the jackpot game is over, the game mode is shifted to the fifth game mode (heaven mode).

  When the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP43), the jackpot game is executed (SP45), and after the jackpot game ends, the ST remaining number is subtracted by 1 (SP46). Next, it is determined whether or not the ST remaining number is 0 (SP47). If the ST remaining number is 0 (YES in ST47), the process proceeds to a sixth game mode to be described later. When the remaining ST count is not 0 (NO in SP47), the process returns to SP41 and the fifth game mode continues again. Since there is an ST count (probability change limiter), it is the greatest concern for the player how to shift to the fifth game mode (heaven mode) at the stage where the remaining ST count remains. If you win the 15R jackpot with 3% allocation probability suddenly in the first game mode, you will be in the short-time game state and will remain in the fifth game mode without reducing the number of balls in the special symbol winning lottery game (in the short-time game) Since the jackpot of 15 times is promised, for example, the interest of the player who plays the game immediately after opening the store is enhanced, and the operation rate of the pachinko gaming machine immediately after opening the store is improved.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, a description will be given of the second game mode (chance game A) that shifts when a 5R or 2R jackpot is won in the first game mode. The second game mode is a probability change / short time state, and the short time number is 15 times. First, the time reduction number 15 is stored in the time reduction remaining number storage means 156 (SP51). Next, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0 (SP52). If the remaining time is not 0 (NO in SP52), it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP53). NO at SP53), 1 is subtracted from the remaining time (SP54), and the process returns to SP52. When the number of time reductions becomes 0 in ST52 (YES in SP52), the process proceeds to a later-described seventh game mode in SP60.

  When the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP53), the jackpot game is executed (SP55), and after the jackpot game ends, the ST remaining number is subtracted by 1 (SP56). Next, it is determined whether or not the ST remaining number is 0 (SP57). When the ST number is 0 (YES in ST57), the process proceeds to a sixth game mode described later (SP58). When the remaining ST count is not 0 (NO in SP57), the process proceeds to the fifth game mode (heaven mode) of SP59. When the big hit in the first game mode, only 3% of the total jackpot wins the 15R jackpot that shifts to the fifth game mode after the jackpot game ends, so most of the big hit in the first game mode In the case of, it shifts to the second game mode. If the jackpot is won during 15 short-time games in the second game mode, the game moves to the fifth game mode, so that the 15 short-time games become a game that is highly interesting for the player. It should be noted that the expected value for winning a jackpot during the 15 short-time games is 17.5%, which is an expected level for the player.

  Next, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 15, the seventh game mode (normal probability change mode) that shifts to the case where the jackpot lottery is not won during the 15 short-time games when the second game mode is shifted to. Is a probabilistic and non-time-short state. In the seventh game mode, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot lottery is won (SP21). If it is not won (NO in SP21), the monitoring is continued until the winner is won. If the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP21), the jackpot game is executed (SP22). After the jackpot game ends, 1 is subtracted from the remaining ST count.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the ST remaining count is 0 (SP24). When the remaining ST count is 0, the limiter is activated, and a transition is made to a sixth game mode (non-probability change / short time state) described later (SP31). When the ST remaining number is not 0 (NO in SP24), it is determined whether the jackpot is a 15R jackpot (SP25). When 15R is a big hit (YES in SP25), the process proceeds to the fifth game mode (SP26). If it is not a 15R jackpot (NO at SP25) and a 5R jackpot (YES at SP27), a transition is made to a third game mode (chance game B) described later. If it is not a 5R jackpot (NO in SP27) and a 2R jackpot (SP29), the process shifts to a fourth game mode (chance game C) described later (SP30). Although the seventh game mode is probabilistic, it is not in a short-time state, and as the game progresses, the number of holding balls is steadily decreasing and a profit mode is provided to the store side. The transition from this mode to the 5th game mode is a short-time game in which a 15R jackpot with a 3% allocation rate is won when the jackpot is won, or the 5R jackpot and the 2R jackpot with low expectations, which will be described later, are transferred. There is no choice but to win a jackpot. This is a mode in which a pachinko gaming machine with a player's gaming history is left after being opened.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 16, the third game mode (chance game B) that shifts when a 5R jackpot is won in the seventh game mode will be described. The said 3rd game mode is a probability change and time-saving state, and the number of time savings is 10 times. First, the time reduction count of 10 is stored in the time reduction remaining count storage means 156 (SP71). Next, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0 (SP72). If the remaining time is not 0 (NO in SP72), it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP73). NO at SP73), 1 is subtracted from the remaining time (SP74), and the process returns to SP72. When the number of time reductions becomes 0 in SP72 (YES in SP72), the process proceeds to the seventh game mode of SP80. In other words, it returns to the Hamar mode. In the third game mode, the probability (expected value) of winning a jackpot during 10 short-time games is 12.0%, and conversely, 88.0% goes to the seventh game mode of the transition source. Will be migrated.

  When the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP73), the jackpot game is executed (SP75), and after the jackpot game ends, the ST remaining number is subtracted by 1 (SP76). Next, it is determined whether or not the ST remaining number is 0 (SP77). When the ST number is 0 (YES in ST77), the process proceeds to a sixth game mode described later. When the remaining ST count is not 0 (NO in SP77), the process shifts to the fifth game mode (heaven mode) of SP79.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 17, the fourth game mode (chance game C) that shifts when the 2R jackpot is won in the seventh game mode will be described. The fourth game mode is a probability change / short time state, and the short time number is five times. First, the time reduction number 5 is stored in the time reduction remaining number storage means 156 (SP91). Next, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0 (SP92). If the remaining time is not 0 (NO in SP92), it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP93). No in SP93), 1 is subtracted from the remaining number of time reductions (SP94), and the process returns to SP92. When the number of time reductions becomes 0 in SP92 (YES in SP92), the process shifts to the seventh game mode of SP100. In other words, it returns to the Hamar mode. In the fourth game mode, the probability of winning a jackpot during five short-time games is 6.2%, and conversely, 93.8% will shift to the seventh game mode of the transfer source. Become.

  If the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP93), the jackpot game is executed (SP95), and after the jackpot game ends, the ST remaining number is subtracted by 1 (SP96). Next, it is determined whether or not the ST remaining number is 0 (SP97). When the ST number is 0 (YES in ST97), the process proceeds to a sixth game mode described later. When the ST remaining number is not 0 (NO in SP97), the process proceeds to the fifth game mode (heaven mode) of SP99.

Next, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 18, in the second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh game modes, the sixth game mode which is shifted when the probability variation limiter is activated (ST = 0). (Chance game D) will be described. The sixth game mode is an uncertain change / short time state, and the short time number is 20 times. First, the time reduction count of 20 is stored in the time reduction remaining count storage means 156 (SP111). Next, it is determined whether or not the remaining time is 0 (SP112). If the remaining time is not 0 (NO in SP112), it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won (SP113). NO at SP113), 1 is subtracted from the remaining number of time reductions (SP114), and the process returns to SP112. When the number of time reductions becomes 0 in SP112 (YES in SP112), the process proceeds to the first game mode of SP118.

  If the jackpot lottery is won (YES in SP113), the jackpot game is executed (SP115), and after the jackpot game ends, the remaining ST number is set to 15 (SP116), and then the fifth game mode (heaven mode) of SP117 ) In the sixth game mode, the expected value for winning a jackpot during 20 short-time games is 18.3%, and is the maximum expected value in the short-time mode other than the fifth game mode. If you win the jackpot in the sixth game mode, you will be transferred to the fifth game mode, and it will be guaranteed that you will win 15 jackpots thereafter, so the player's interest in the sixth game mode will be improved to the maximum To do.

  Further, in this embodiment, the ST remaining number is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14, for example, only during the game staying in the fifth game mode (heaven mode). When the game is started from the first game mode (initial mode) and the jackpot lottery is won, the ST remaining number is set to 15 times (the probability variation limiter is 15 times) after the jackpot game ends, but the game mode is changed to the fifth game mode. Each time the jackpot game is won before the mode is changed, the ST remaining number is decremented once, so that the ST remaining number when changing to the fifth game mode is variable. Since the player knows the ST remaining number of times for the first time after shifting to the fifth gaming mode, when switching to the fifth gaming mode, in addition to the pleasure of coming to the heaven mode where the jackpots continue, Later, the player will have another expectation of how many jackpots will continue.

  In this embodiment, the game modes other than the first game mode and the seventh game mode are so-called short-time games. However, the nature of the game is different. That is, the special symbol variation time that is most frequently selected in the short-time game (the same as the effect symbol variation time in the liquid crystal display unit) is the shortest one-second variation in the total variation time. The one-second fluctuation is the selection table referred to in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth game modes, which are the short-time game mode. Although the selection rate value is different, the selection probability is the maximum in each table. It is the same.

  However, since the second, third, fourth, and sixth game modes (chance games A, B, C, and D) are won in the jackpot lottery in this mode, the game mode is changed to the fifth game mode (heaven mode). The interest of the player in the mode increases. Therefore, in the relatively small number of short-time game modes, it is not preferable in view of the nature of the chance game that only the 1-second fluctuation is executed in an insignificant manner when the jackpot lottery is not won. . Therefore, during these chance games, there are long-term fluctuations such as reach production that gives the player's expectation and pseudo-continuous fluctuations (the production pattern of the liquid crystal display unit is varied several times for one special symbol fluctuation). It is desirable that the probability of being selected is higher than in the fifth game mode.

  On the other hand, although the fifth game mode is the short-time game mode, the short-time game upper limit number is 2000 times, and the short-time game state continues until the next big hit lottery is won. The player wants to win the jackpot as soon as possible by efficiently digesting the special symbol variation. Therefore, in the fifth game mode, when the big hit lottery is not won, it is desirable to refer to a table in which the probability that the long-term variation is selected is lower than that in the chance game.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of a special symbol variation time selection table when the game is lost in the chance game and the big game lottery in the fifth game mode. Table A is a special symbol variation time selection table at the time of losing in the fifth game mode (heaven mode). Ten types of variation pattern numbers from 0 to 9 are stored. Each variation number has a special symbol variation time. The variation pattern number (substantially special symbol variation time) information is transmitted from the CPU 111 of the main control unit 110 to the CPU 121 of the sub control unit 120. The CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 executes an effect corresponding to the received variation pattern number (“effect type” described in the table) on the liquid crystal display. Note that there are 256 special symbol variation time random numbers R3 acquired when a game ball is won at the start openings 18 and 19, and the number of random numbers in the table is each variation pattern number. The number of random numbers corresponding to.

  The variation number “0” in Table A is that the variation time of the special symbol is 1 second, the effect that is displayed on the liquid crystal display at that time is a normal lose effect, and the corresponding number of random numbers is 200 The distribution rate is (200/250) × 100 = 78.1%. As described above, the fifth game mode that refers to the table will continue substantially until the next jackpot, so the player thinks that he wants to efficiently digest the special symbol game and win the jackpot at an early stage. A one second variation with a short variation time is selected with high probability.

  The pseudo-series corresponding to the variation pattern numbers “1 to 3” is a pseudo-continuous notice in which the effect symbol of the liquid crystal display unit is changed and stopped a plurality of times in one special symbol variation time. The larger the number of pseudo-continuations, the higher the so-called jackpot reliability is set. Therefore, at the time of loss, it rarely occurs. For example, it is desirable that the selection probability of each pseudo-ream is lower than the selection probability of any super reach.

  The effect type corresponding to the variation number “4” is so-called normal reach. This is an effect that is rarely selected at the time of a big hit even if it is not in a short-time game, so if a normal reach occurs in the fifth game mode, the player will be distracted. Accordingly, the selection probability of normal reach is smaller than the total selection probability of each super reach. On the other hand, generating a super reach with a long time when losing means that the game digestion time efficiency deteriorates, so the selection probability of the normal reach may be larger than the total value of the selection probability of each super reach. .

  Next, the normal reach long corresponding to the variation number “5” is an effect that has a long variation time in the normal reach state, and the super reach corresponding to the variation number “6 to 9” is an effect that develops from the normal reach, and the longer the time is. The so-called jackpot reliability increases. Note that, here, the effect type on the liquid crystal display unit corresponding to each variation number is one, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there may be a plurality of production types (for example, normal long reach and super reach E) corresponding to the 30-second variation of variation number 5.

  Next, Table B, which is a special symbol variation time selection table when losing in the second, third, fourth, and sixth game modes (chance games A, B, C, and D), will be described. As described above, in order to shift to the fifth game mode, which has a large profit for the player, there is no choice but to win a 15R jackpot that is selected at 3% at the time of jackpot or a jackpot during each short game. The 15R jackpot is very unlikely to be expected because the selection probability is very low at 3%. Therefore, the player aims to win a jackpot during the chance game. However, in the relatively short game mode such as each chance game, when the big win lottery is not won, only the 1-second fluctuation is indifferently executed, and the chance game ends. It is not preferable because of the nature of the game.

  Therefore, in the table B, the distribution rate of the 1-second fluctuation of the fluctuation pattern number “0” is 54.7%, which is lower than that in the table A. As a result, the distribution rate of productions with long fluctuation times that raise expectations is high. In Table B, the so-called jackpot reliability is low, and the distribution rate of the normal reach (variation pattern number “4”) that the player is struck when it occurs in a limited time-short game is set to any other reach effect (variation pattern number “5-9”). The feature is that it is less than “)”. The normal reach selection rate may be zero. In addition, the quasi-ream is effective in encouraging the player's expectation even if the execution time is short, so it is effective to apply when the game digestion rate is high. The table B is larger than the table A. Here, the variation time tables of the chance games A to D are made common, but a table in which variation for a long time is more likely to be selected in a game mode with a shorter number of time reductions may be applied to each chance game.

  Table C is a special symbol variation time selection table when losing in the first and seventh game modes. Since both games are non-short-time games, it is not necessary to beat the player as compared to the second, third, fourth, and sixth game modes, which are limited time-saving games. The distribution rate of the normal loss production of the variation pattern number “10” is an intermediate value of the distribution rates of the variation pattern number “0” between the table A and the table B, and the game digestion efficiency is low. The total value is higher than those of the tables A and B, and the distribution ratio of the normal reach is overwhelmingly higher than the tables A and B in the time reduction mode. As a matter of course, the total value of the super-reach distribution ratio is smaller than those of the tables A and B.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Games in the first game mode (initial mode), the second game mode (chance game A), the third game mode (chance game B), the fourth game mode (chance game C), and the seventh game mode (normal probability change mode) The mode transition for each state and jackpot type is basically the same as in the first embodiment, and will be briefly described later.

First, the fifth game mode (heaven mode) will be described with reference to FIGS. The fifth game mode (heaven mode) is a probability change / short time state, and the short time after the big hit game is 100 times. Therefore, the differences between FIG. 13 and FIG. 13 are that the remaining time count of 100 is stored in the shorter time remaining number storage means 156 at SP41, and the sixth game mode (chance game D) transitioned at SP48 is shorter than 40 times. This is the point. In other words, if the jackpot lottery is not won within 100 times, the time falls to the seventh game mode. The expected value for winning the jackpot lottery within 100 times is 72.3%. Others are the same as FIG. In the second embodiment, the remaining ST number is displayed on, for example, the liquid crystal display unit 14 in all game modes.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 20 and 22, the sixth game mode (chance game D) will be described. The sixth game mode (chance game D) is a game mode that shifts when the probability variation limiter is activated (ST = 0) in each mode, but is a non-probability variation / time-short state, and the number of time reductions is 40 times. Therefore, the difference between FIG. 18 and FIG. 18 is that the time remaining number 40 is stored in the time remaining number storage means 156 at SP111 and the fifth game mode (heaven mode) transitioned at SP117 is 100 times shorter. This is the point. In the sixth game mode, the expected value for winning a jackpot game during 40 short-time games has a high probability of 33.2%. Others are the same as FIG.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, the timing when the player stops the game is the seventh game mode with a probability of almost 100%. In the seventh game mode, although the jackpot probability is high probability (14/1097), it is only about 1.27 times easier to hit than the low probability (11/1097). Therefore, even if the electric tulip is won as a normal symbol, it will only be released once for 0.5 seconds after a fluctuation time of 30 seconds, and the holding balls will decrease rapidly. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the ST remaining number of times is notified, for example, a pachinko gaming machine that is left in the seventh game mode with two ST remaining number of times, even if it is a big hit, the fifth game mode ( The chance to go to (heaven mode) is low. For example, even if you win the 15R jackpot with a 3% probability of jacking in the seventh game mode, even if you switch to the fifth game mode, you will get one more jackpot game When executed, ST = 0 and the probability variation limiter is activated and falls from the heaven mode. At this time, as in the sixth game mode of the first embodiment, the expected value for winning the big win lottery within 20 times of the number of time reductions is only 18.2%, so there is a possibility of re-entering the fifth game mode. However, as in the second embodiment, if the number of time reductions is set to 40, the probability of re-entering the fifth game mode is as high as 33.2%. This leads to an improvement in the operating rate of pachinko gaming machines that are left in a small seventh game mode.

  Also in the second embodiment, the game modes other than the first game mode and the seventh game mode are so-called short-time games. However, the nature of the game is different. In other words, the special symbol variation time (same as the design symbol variation time on the liquid crystal display) that is selected with the greatest probability when not winning the jackpot lottery in the short game at that time is the shortest one second variation in the total variation time. is there. The one-second fluctuation is the selection table referred to in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth game modes, which are the short-time game mode. Although the selection rate value is different, the selection probability is the maximum in each table. It is the same.

  However, the second, third, and fourth game modes (chance games A, B, and C) shift to the fifth game mode (heaven mode) when winning the big win lottery in that mode, so the games in the mode The interest of the person increases. Therefore, in the relatively small number of short-time game modes, it is not preferable in view of the nature of the chance game that only the 1-second fluctuation is executed in an insignificant manner when the jackpot lottery is not won. . Therefore, at these chance games, even when lost, reach production and pseudo-continuous fluctuations that fluctuate the player's expectation (change the production design of the liquid crystal display unit multiple times for one special design variation) It is desirable that the probability that a long-term variation such as the above is selected is higher than that in the fifth game mode.

  Next, the fifth game mode with 100 time reductions will be described. In the second embodiment, the fifth game mode (heaven mode) is clearly different in nature from the case where the time-saving game continues until the next big hit, which is 100 times of time-saving and 2000 times of the first embodiment. Actually, the expected value for winning the jackpot lottery within 100 times of the fifth game mode is 72.3%. Conversely, 27.7% falls to the seventh game mode. . Therefore, in order to give a sense of expectation to the jackpot, the second example of the second embodiment is more than the special symbol variation time selection table referred to at the time of 2000 short-time games, which is the fifth embodiment of the first embodiment, as will be described later. The special symbol variation time selection table that is referred to at the time of 100 times in 5 game modes is a table that has a high probability of selecting a long variation time other than the shortest variation time of 1 second (outlier reach, pseudo variation, etc.). .

  Next, the sixth game mode (chance game D) with 40 time reductions will be described. In the second embodiment, as described above, the sixth game mode is a game mode that is set to increase the operating rate of the pachinko gaming machine that is left in the seventh game state with a small number of STs. In the sixth game mode, as will be described later, in the sixth game mode, a special symbol change referred to by the fifth game mode in order to strongly beat the player who is expected to win the jackpot lottery and enter the fifth game mode. Reference is made to a table that has a higher probability of selecting long-term fluctuations other than one-second fluctuations than the time selection table. On the other hand, the sixth game mode has a much shorter number of short-time games than the second, third and fourth game modes (chance games A, B, C). Probability that a longer variation time than a one-second variation, which is the minimum variation time, is selected from the special symbol variation time selection table referred to by the second, third, and fourth game modes (chance games A, B, and C). Refer to a low table.

  In the second embodiment, as described above, when the probability variation limiter is activated (ST = 0), the sixth game mode (chance game D) to be shifted is left with a small number of ST remaining times. In order to increase the operating rate of the pachinko machine of the invention, the probability of jackpot is low, but because the number of times reduced to 40 times, the expected value to win the jackpot lottery during that time-short game is 33.2% and others The chance is higher than the game. Instead, in the first embodiment, in the fifth game mode, the number of time reductions continued until the next big hit is set to 100 times in the second embodiment, and the possibility of falling to the seventh game mode is set. It is a control method that secures to some extent. By the way, the expected value of 10 consecutive big hits in the fifth game mode is as low as 12%. As a result, there is no extreme advantage for the player, and the balance of the store balance is maintained.

  Next, game modes other than the fifth and sixth game modes of the second embodiment will be briefly described. Regarding the first game mode, FIG. 23 is different from FIG. 12 in that the number of time reductions of SP16 is changed from 2000 times to 100 times. Regarding the second game mode, FIG. 24 differs from FIG. 14 in that the number of times of SP59 is 100 and the number of times of SP58 is 40. As for the third game mode, FIG. 25 differs from FIG. 16 in that the number of times of SP79 is 100 and the number of times of SP78 is 40. Regarding the fourth game mode, FIG. 26 is different from FIG. 17 in that the number of times for SP99 is 100 and the number of times for SP98 is 40. Regarding the seventh game mode, FIG. 27 differs from FIG. 15 in that the number of times of SP 31 is 40 and the number of times of SP 26 is 100.

  FIG. 28 shows an example of the special symbol variation time selection table for the fifth game mode, the sixth game mode, and the chance games A, B, and C of the second embodiment. First, the table D referred to by the fifth game mode (heaven mode) of the second embodiment will be described. The fifth game mode (heaven mode) is clearly different in nature from the case where the time-saving game continues until the next jackpot, where the number of time-savings is 100 times and 2000 times of the first embodiment. The expected value for winning the jackpot lottery within 100 time slots of the game mode is 72.3%. Conversely, 27.7% falls to the seventh game mode. Therefore, in order to give a sense of expectation to the jackpot, the second example of the second embodiment is more than the special symbol variation time selection table referred to at the time of 2000 short-time games, which is the fifth embodiment of the first embodiment, as will be described later. The special symbol variation time selection table that is referred to at the time of 100 times in 5 game modes is a table that has a high probability of selecting a long variation time other than the shortest variation time of 1 second (outlier reach, pseudo variation, etc.). . That is, in the game mode in the second embodiment, the selection rate of the normal loss of the fluctuation pattern number “0” of 1 second fluctuation is the highest at 70.3%. Compared with the table A of FIG. 19 in which the game continues, the selection probability of the variable time other than the one-second loss is higher. Here, too, the number of times is reduced to some extent, so the so-called normal reach of the effect type corresponding to the variation number “4” is an effect that is rarely selected at the time of a big hit even if it is not originally in a time-saving game, and the fifth game mode When a normal reach occurs, the player is distracted, so the selection probability of normal reach is smaller than the total selection probability of each super reach. On the other hand, generating a super reach with a long time when losing means that the game digestion time efficiency deteriorates, so the selection probability of the normal reach may be larger than the total value of the selection probability of each super reach. .

  Next, in the sixth game mode, which plays a role of pulling back to the fifth game mode, or as mentioned above, which increases the operating rate of the pachinko gaming machine left in the seventh game mode with a small number of STs. A table E that is a variable time selection table to be referred to at the time of losing will be described. As described above, the sixth game table has a role of returning to the fifth game mode, or a role of increasing the operating rate of the pachinko gaming machine left in the seventh game mode with a small number of STs as described above. Therefore, since the player is naturally interested in it, it is effective to perform a reverberation effect even when lost. The selection probability of the fluctuation pattern number “0” is lower than that of the table D. As a result, it is easy to develop into a super-reach, making it a table that encourages players' expectations. In this table, the selection probability of each super reach is higher than the selection probability of normal reach.

  Next, the table F referred to by the second, third, and fourth game modes (chance games A, B, and C) having a low transition probability to the fifth game mode as compared with other short-time game modes will be described. . The table F is the same as the table B in FIG. 19, and the selection probability of the variation pattern number “1” is the lowest in the short-time game mode. In other words, since the number of short-time games is short, it is necessary to scold the player strongly even when lost. Similarly, the selection probability of the super reach having a longer variation time is higher than that of the table E that strongly beats the player.

  The first and seventh game modes are the same as Table C in FIG. Here, the variation time tables of the chance games A to C are made common, but each chance game may refer to a table in which variation for a long time is more easily selected in a game mode with a shorter number of time reductions.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. For example, in each game mode variation time selection table, a table G is set and stored with a selection probability of 100% for the special symbol variation time of variation pattern number “0” of 1 second. For example, out of 15 short-time games in the second game mode of the first and second embodiments, during the 10th to 15th games, the table G is selected when the big hit lottery is lost. Then, if long-term fluctuations such as reach are performed in the period, it is possible to create a game characteristic in which a jackpot is determined. At the start of the second game, for example, the liquid crystal display unit 14 is informed of “a hot game if reach is reached during the tenth to fifteenth game”, etc., and the player can be encouraged.

Further, as the fourth embodiment, after the jackpot is over, the time limit upper limit count is not notified, and the time limit game 2000 times game mode (the fifth game mode of the first embodiment) and the time limit upper limit count not notified is not set. In the pachinko gaming machine having the mode (the second game mode of the first embodiment), after the jackpot game is finished, the game mode of 2000 times of the above-mentioned time-saving is also used in the game of 1 to 15 times, and when the game is lost, using game 15 migratory skill mode to the same special symbol variable time selection table (e.g. table B of FIG. 19), the on time reduction gaming 2000 times mode, for time reduction gaming 16 and subsequent, at the time of losing the game, table a May be used. By doing this, from the 1st to the 15th of the short-time game, the probability of long-term fluctuations such as reach is increased, and the player's expectation is raised, and the 2000-hour short-time game mode or the 15-hour short-time game mode By making it difficult to discriminate, it is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling.

  Further, as the fifth embodiment, the upper limit of the time limit after the jackpot game is not notified, and the 2000-time mode (the fifth game mode of the first embodiment) and the 15-time mode (the second of the first embodiment). A pachinko gaming machine having a gaming mode) creates a state in which the player does not know which gaming mode is being executed after the jackpot game ends. Here, FIG. 29 shows a special symbol variation time selection table to be referred to for the 1st to 15th time-saving games in the time-saving 2000 times gaming mode and the time-saving 15-time gaming mode. For example, in the both game mode variation time selection table, the special symbol variation time of the variation pattern number “0” is a table G having a selection probability of 100% of 1 second, and the special symbol variation time of the variation pattern number “11” is 3 Table H with a selection probability of 100% for second, Table I with a selection probability of 100% for variation pattern number “12” of 8 seconds, and a special symbol variation time of 12 seconds for variation pattern number “13” Table J has a selection probability of 100%. It is assumed that the effect symbols are displayed after the corresponding time changes.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the both-time short game, when the game is out of the big hit lottery, the variation time becomes shorter as the number of time-shortening increases. Eventually, if the first-time fluctuation occurs in the short-time game's 16th time, the 2000-time short-time game mode (the fifth game mode of the first embodiment) is confirmed, and the short-time game ends in 15 times. For example, the short-time game mode is a short-time 15-time game mode (the second game mode of the first embodiment). In addition, after the 15th time-short game (that is, from the 16th game after the end of the jackpot game), the time-short 2000-time game mode (the fifth game mode of the first embodiment) is lost in the jackpot lottery. In accordance with Table A, the special symbol variation time is determined. On the other hand, in the short-time 15-time game mode (second game mode of the first embodiment), when the big win is not won in the short-time game 15 times, the game shifts to the seventh game mode in FIG. The special symbol variation time is determined according to Table C in FIG. In the 15 short-time games, as the number of games increases after the start of the short-time game, the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol is stepped up and shortened. Since the player is given an impression of approaching, there is an effect of encouraging the player to expect that the game mode is 2000 times shorter.

  Here, the table of FIG. 29 will be described. For example, in the variation number “2” in (a), when the big hit lottery is lost, the special symbol and the production symbol change from the first to the fifth after the start of the short-time game. The time is 12 seconds. From the 6th to the 10th time, the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol is 8 seconds. From the 11th to the 15th time, the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol is 3 seconds, the 16th time. Thereafter, the selection is made according to the table A in FIG. In FIG. 24A, the one-second fluctuation with the highest selection rate is shown for convenience. When comparing (a) and (b) of FIG. 24, the selection probability of the variation number “2”, which is the basic form, is large, but in (a), the number of short-time games is changed from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. The selection probability is biased toward the smaller number. On the other hand, in (b), the selection probability is biased toward a larger number of short games when the variation time changes from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. Accordingly, there is an effect that the player can have a pleasure that can be reasonably inferred which mode is selected by the step-up pattern of the variation time. In the present embodiment, a step-up pattern in which the variation time changes from 12 seconds → 8 seconds → 3 seconds → 1 second is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and 12 seconds → 3 seconds → 1 second. Such a hollow pattern or a sudden pattern such as 12 seconds → 1 second may be used.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described with reference to drawings, this invention is not limited to the thing of embodiment shown in figure. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiment within the same range or equivalent range as the present invention.
