(D) is a figure showing an example of random numbers for gates.
As for the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 4A, one random number value is acquired when the game ball wins the first or second starting opening. The game control board 111 selects either a big hit or a small hit based on the acquired big hit random number.
For example, in the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 4A, the ratios of jackpots of the first start port 21 and the second start port in the electric Chu 22 are set to 1/400, respectively, and “0” to “399”. When “3” is acquired from the 400 random number values, the jackpot (1 type jackpot) is selected. The second start port has a small hit rate set to 399/400, and “0” to “2”, “4” to “399” from 400 random numbers “0” to “399”. Choose a small hit when the is acquired.

Next, as for the design random numbers shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, one random value is acquired simultaneously with the jackpot random number when the game ball wins the first start port or the second start port.
The game control board 111 selects a jackpot type based on the jackpot random number and the design random number.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when a jackpot random number is won for one kind of jackpot (per 15 rounds) during a normal game, the bonus with a short time is given as a bonus game after the jackpot game ends. Is selected or 125/250 is set as the ratio at which the first short time without a time-saving game is given after the jackpot game ends. For example, the obtained random number values are “0” to “124”. ”Is selected per length with a first short time, and“ 125 ”to“ 249 ”is selected per length without a first time.
Also, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when a jackpot random number is won for one kind of jackpot during a short-time game, the ratio of the first short-term headed length is 200/250, and the first short-time headless length is The ratio to be selected is set to 50/250. For example, when the obtained random number value is “0” to “199”, it is per length with the first time reduction, and when it is “200” to “249”, the first time reduction is set. None per length is selected.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when winning two kinds of big hits (16 rounds) via small hits during a normal game, the second per hour with a short time that gives a short-time game after the big hit game ends is selected. The ratio, or the ratio at which the second short time without per-hour game is not given after the jackpot game ends is set to 125/250, respectively, for example, when the obtained random number value is “0” to “124” When the length is from “125” to “249”, the length without second time is selected.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when two types of big wins are won during the short-time game, the ratio of the second short-term length is 200/250, and the second short-time length is selected. The ratio is set to 50/250, for example, when the obtained random number value is “0” to “199”, per length with the first short time, and when “200” to “249”, per second time without the short time Is selected.
In the random number table for gate shown in FIG. 4D, when a game ball passes through the gate 22, one random number value is acquired from, for example, 10 random numbers from “0” to “9”. In the winning random number table, the winning ratio is set to 9/10, for example, and it is determined that the winning value is “0” to “8”.

In the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment configured as described above, when a game ball enters the second start port via the first start port 21 or the electric chew 22, a big hit is made on the game control board 111. Get random numbers, design random numbers, etc. Then, based on the jackpot random number and the symbol random number of the first special symbol acquired at the time of winning the game ball to the first starting port 21, the fluctuation and stop of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 10 are controlled. The variation of the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display 11 based on the jackpot random number and the symbol random number of the second special symbol acquired when winning the game ball to the second starting port via the electric chew 22 And control the stop.
When the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 10 is stopped and displayed with a predetermined jackpot symbol, the game control board 111 executes a jackpot game using the big prize opening 16 of the big prize device.
Further, the game control board 111 determines whether or not to give a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of a time-saving game as a privilege game advantageous to the player after the jackpot game ends based on the design random number. When a game is given, the game shifts to the short-time game state after the jackpot game ends. When the game is not given, the game shifts to the normal game state.

  During the short-time game, when the normal symbol is hit and stops at the symbol, the opening time of the electric chew 22 is configured to be longer when in the normal game state. Therefore, during the short-time game, the player can increase the winning rate of the game ball to the electric chew 22 by firing the game ball aiming at the gate 23 and the electric chew 22. When a game ball wins the electric Chu 22, the second special symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time due to the winning and stops. At this time, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed as a small hit symbol at a ratio of 399/400. After the second special symbol is stopped and displayed as a small hitting symbol, an opening / closing operation for opening and closing the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the special electric accessory device 2 once or a plurality of times is executed as a small hitting operation. In the opening / closing operation of the movable pieces 3L, 3R, the game ball wins the special electric accessory device 2, and the winning game ball passes through the specific area SW6a in the V zone 6 through the housing portion 5a of the rotating body 5. If it passes, it will be a so-called two-type jackpot, and a jackpot game using the jackpot 16 of the jackpot device is executed.

5 and 6 are explanatory diagrams of the small hitting operation during the short-time game of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
In the pachinko gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment, it is easy for a game ball to win a second starting port via the electric chew 22 during a short-time game. In addition, since it has a holding function to hold the right to change the second special symbol obtained by winning the second starting opening, as shown in FIG. Is likely to be done.
As shown in FIG. 5 (b), one small hitting operation time includes a symbol variation time (2 seconds), a symbol stop period (1 second), an opening operation period (1 second), a ball entry / discharge detection period (2 Seconds) for a total time (6 seconds). Therefore, the movable pieces 3L and 3R of the electric accessory device 2 during the short-time game are once in a predetermined period T (6 seconds) as shown in FIG. 5C. The opening operation is performed.
Here, the time required for one rotation of the rotating body 5 in the special electric accessory device 2 is, for example, the same 6 seconds as the small hitting operation time, or an integral multiple of 6 seconds (12 seconds, 18 seconds). In the case of setting, as described above, when the small hitting operation continues during the short-time game, the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the electric accessory device 2 and the positional relationship of the rotating body 5 are always synchronized and constant.
This means that the positional relationship between the opening timings of the movable pieces 3L and 3R of the electric accessory device 2 and the accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5 is always substantially constant in synchronization.
As a result, the timing when the movable pieces 3L and 3R are opened at the start of the short-time game and the positional relationship between the housing 5a of the rotating body 5 is disadvantageous to the player, for example, as shown in FIG. If the timing at which 3L and 3R are opened and the timing at which the accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5 reaches the optimum position A (see FIG. 2 (a)) are synchronized with each other, the winning combination is won during the short-time game. It becomes difficult, and there is a risk that the player will not win the big hit again during the short game at the specified number of times (for example, 100 times).

Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment, if the jackpot is not won even after a predetermined period from the start of the short-time game, for example, 30 or 50 time-short games have passed, FIG. The start timing of the small hit operation is changed in the timing change zone shown.
The small hitting operation time in the timing change zone is increased from 2 seconds to 13 seconds as shown in FIG. 6B, and the small hitting operation time is set to 17 seconds. Accordingly, in the timing change zone shown in FIG. 6A, the movable pieces 3L and 3R of the electric accessory device 2 perform an opening operation once every predetermined time T ′ (17 seconds) as shown in FIG. 6C. It will be.
In this way, even before the timing change zone, even if the positional relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L and 3R and the housing portion 5a of the rotating body 5 is synchronized at a disadvantageous time to the player, the timing change zone It is possible to change the positional relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L, 3R and the accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5.
Therefore, even after the timing change zone or after the timing change zone, even when the positional relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L and 3R and the accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5 is synchronized at a disadvantageous time to the player at the start of the short-time game. It is possible to increase the probability of winning the jackpot again during the short game.

If the timing change zone is configured to be performed a plurality of times during a short-time game, the relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L and 3R and the rotating body 5 is prevented from continuing to synchronize at a timing unfavorable to the player. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the possibility of winning a big hit again during the short-time game.
In particular, when it is configured to shift to the timing change zone in the prime time (for example, “11”, “31”, “41”) times of the short-time game from the start of the short-time game, the opening timing and rotation of the movable pieces 3L, 3R are ensured. Since the positional relationship with the accommodating part 5a of the body 5 can be changed, it is more effective.

Also, if the operation time of the small hitting operation is changed a plurality of times in one timing change zone, the relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L and 3R and the rotating body 5 is disadvantageous to the player during the short-time game, as described above. It is possible to prevent the synchronization from continuing at a proper timing. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the possibility of winning a big hit again during the short-time game.
In the present embodiment, the small hitting operation time is changed by changing the symbol variation time in the timing change zone. However, the timing of the small hitting operation is changed by changing the entry / discharge detection time and the symbol stop time. May be changed.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the timing change zone, it may be considered that the player temporarily releases the game ball launcher and stops the game by setting the variation time of the special symbol to a longer time than usual. Therefore, from this point, it can be expected that the relationship between the opening timing of the movable pieces 3L and 3R and the rotating body 5 is kept synchronized at a disadvantageous time for the player during the short-time game. In this case, when the reach effect is continuously executed using the image display device 8 in the timing change zone, the degree of expectation that the player will release his hand from the game ball launching device becomes higher.

  In the present embodiment described so far, a rotating body that rotates at a constant rotation speed is described as an example of the distributing means. However, this is only an example, and the game ball is moved to a specific area by operating at a fixed period. And a mechanism for distributing to other areas.

Hereinafter, processing executed by the game control device in order to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment described so far will be described.

If it is determined that the first start port SW21a is on, the first start port It is determined whether or not the number U1 of retained mouths 21a is less than “4” (S202). If it is determined that the reserved number U1 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U1 (S203). Thereafter, a jackpot random number, a design random number, a variation pattern random number, etc. are acquired as game data and stored in the RAM 114 (S204). Next, a first hold number increase command is set in order to increase the hold number of the first special symbol hold lamp 13 (S205). If a negative result is obtained in step S202, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U1 is “4” which is the maximum holdable number, the process of steps S203 to S205 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S206.

  Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the second start port SW22a of the electric chew 22 serving as the second start port is on (S206), and when determining that the second start port SW22a is on. Then, it is determined whether or not the retained number U2 of the second start port SW22a is smaller than “4” (S207). If it is determined that the reserved number U2 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U2 (S208). Thereafter, a jackpot random number, a design random number, a variation pattern random number, etc. are acquired as game data and stored in the RAM 114 (S209). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the second special symbol holding lamp 14, a second holding number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated. If a negative result is obtained in step S207, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U2 is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, the start port SW process is terminated.

[Specific area SW processing]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the specific area SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the specific area SW6a of the specific area (V zone) 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 is ON (S221). When it is determined that the specific area SW6a is on, it is determined whether or not the entrance flag indicating that a game ball is entering the special electric accessory device 2 is ON, that is, the V zone is valid. It is determined whether or not it is a period (S222). If it is determined that the winning flag is ON, the V flag is turned ON (S223), a V winning command indicating that the V zone has been won is set (S224), and the specific area SW processing is terminated. . If it is determined in step S221 that the specific area SW6a is not on, or if it is determined in step S222 that the entry flag is not ON, that is, if it is determined that the V zone is an invalid period, the specific area SW The process ends.

The CPU 112 determines whether or not the gate SW 23a of the gate 23 is turned on (S231). If it is determined that the gate SW 23a is turned on, whether or not the gate passing frequency G of the gate SW 23a is less than “4”. Is discriminated (S232). If it is determined that the number of gate passages G is less than “4”, “1” is added to the number of gate passages G (S233), a random number for the gate is acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S234). The process ends.
Note that if it is determined in step S231 that the gate SW 23a is not on, or if a negative result is obtained in step S232, that is, if it is determined that the gate passing number G is “4” which is the maximum holdable number, The gate SW process ends.

[First winning detection SW processing]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the first winning detection SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the winning detection SW 2a in the special electric accessory device 2 is on (S241). If it is determined that the winning detection SW 2a is on, “1” is added to the number counter X that counts the number of game balls that have been staying (S242). Next, the entrance flag indicating that the game ball is staying in the special electric accessory device 2 is turned ON (S243). When the entrance flag is set to ON, the V zone 6 in the special electric accessory device 2 is activated (S243). Thereafter, the first winning detection SW process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S241 that the winning detection SW 2a in the special electric accessory device 2 is not on, the first winning detection SW process is also terminated.

[Discharge detection SW processing]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the discharge detection SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the discharge detection SW2b of the special electric accessory device 2 is on (S251). If it is determined that the discharge detection SW2b is on, the CPU 112 stays in the special electric accessory device 2. “1” is subtracted from the number counter X indicating the number of entered game balls (S252).
Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the number counter X is “0” (S253). If it is determined that the value of the number counter X is “0”, the entrance flag is turned OFF, After invalidating the V zone 6 in the special electric accessory device 2 (S254), the discharge detection SW process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S251 that the discharge detection SW2b is not on, the process proceeds to step S253 without subtracting the value of the number counter X.
If it is determined in step S253 that the value of the number count X is not “0”, the discharge detection SW process is terminated without turning off the entrance flag.

[Second winning detection SW processing]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the second winning detection SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the winning detection SW 16a in the large winning device 16 is ON (S261). If it is determined that the winning detection SW 16a is ON, whether or not the next big hit is determined. A determination is made (S262). If it is determined in step S262 that the game is a big win, “1” is added to the number counter C that counts the number of winning prizes (S263), and the second winning detection SW process is terminated.
If it is determined in step S262 that the game is not a big hit, or if it is determined in step S261 that the winning detection SW 16a is not on, the second winning detection SW process is terminated.

Next, the symbol processing will be described with reference to FIGS.
[Special symbol processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON, that is, whether or not the jackpot game is being played (S311), and if it is determined that the jackpot game is not being played, the special special display 10 of the first special symbol display 10 is determined. It is determined whether or not the symbol or the special symbol on the second special symbol display 11 is changing (S312). If it is determined that the special symbol is not fluctuating, it is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 of the second starting port SW22a to be preferentially digested is greater than “1” (S313), and the reserved number U2 is “1”. If it is determined that the number is larger, “1” is subtracted from the reserved number U2 (S314).
At this time, for example, when first to fourth storage areas are provided as storage areas for storing game data corresponding to the special symbols of the second special symbol display 11 in the RAM 114, they are stored in the fourth storage area. The game data stored in the third storage area is shifted to the third storage area, the game data stored in the third storage area is shifted to the second storage area, and the game data stored in the second storage area is shifted to the first storage area. . Then, the data stored in the first storage area is written in a predetermined processing area.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S313 that the reserved number U2 is not ≧ 1, that is, if the reserved number U2 is “0”, then whether or not the reserved number U1 of the first start port SW21a is greater than “1”. Is determined (S316), and if it is determined that the reserved number U1 is greater than "1", "1" is subtracted from the reserved number U1 (S317). At this time, for example, when the first to fourth storage areas are provided as storage areas for storing game data corresponding to the special symbols of the first special symbol display 10 in the RAM 114, the fourth storage area The stored game data is shifted to the third storage area, the game data stored in the third storage area is shifted to the second storage area, and the game data stored in the second storage area is shifted to the first storage area. To do. Then, the game data stored in the first storage area is written in a predetermined processing area.

Next, the CPU 112 turns off the customer waiting flag (S315). Next, a jackpot determination process to be described later is executed based on the game data written in the predetermined processing area (S318). After the big hit determination process is executed, a later-described variation pattern selection process is executed (S319). After the variation pattern selection processing is executed, the variation of the corresponding first special symbol display 10 or second special symbol display 11 is started and a variation start command is set (S320, S321).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed the predetermined variation time (S322). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The fluctuation of the special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol display 11 is stopped and a predetermined special symbol is displayed (S323). Thereafter, a change stop command is set (S324), a stop process (S325) described later is executed, and the special symbol process is ended.

If it is determined in step S311 that the winning game flag is ON, or if it is determined in step S322 that the variation time of the special symbol has not reached the predetermined variation time, the special symbol processing is terminated.
If it is determined in step S312 that the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S322, and it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed a predetermined variation time.
If it is determined in step S316 that the number of holdings U1 is not ≧ 1, that is, if it is determined that there is no holding of the holding numbers U1 and U2, it is executed in a customer waiting setting process described later (S326). The process ends.

[Big hit judgment processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot determination process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines a jackpot random number included in the game data written in the predetermined processing area of the RAM 114 (S331), and determines whether or not it is a jackpot in the subsequent step S332. Here, when it is determined that the jackpot, the symbol random number included in the game data written in the predetermined processing area of the RAM 114 is determined (S333), and based on the determination result, the first special symbol display 10 or A jackpot symbol to be set on the second special symbol display 11 is set (S334), and the jackpot determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S332 that the jackpot is not a big hit, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is based on a big hit random number (S335). Here, when it is determined that it is a small hit, a symbol random number is determined (S336), a small hit symbol set in the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol display 11 is set (S337), The jackpot determination process ends. If it is determined in step S335 that the game is not a small hit, a lost symbol to be set in the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol display 11 is set (S338), and the big hit determination process is terminated.

[Variation pattern selection processing]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of a variation pattern selection process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
When the special symbol is the first special symbol, the CPU 112 determines whether or not it is a big hit (S341). If the special symbol is determined to be a big winner, the CPU 112 sets the big winner table in the RAM 114 (S342). Thereafter, the fluctuation pattern random number obtained in steps S204 and S209 (see FIG. 8) is determined (S349), and a fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern random number is set from the jackpot table (S350). The variation pattern selection process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S341 that it is not a big hit, if the special symbol is the second special symbol in step S343, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit, and if it is determined that it is a small hit Next, it is determined whether or not the zone flag is ON (S344). If it is determined that the zone flag is ON, the zone small hitting table is set in the RAM 114 (S345). The zone small hitting table is configured only by a variation pattern (for example, a variation pattern of 17 seconds) whose symbol variation time is longer than usual. Thereafter, in step S346, the zone flag is returned to OFF, and the process proceeds to step S349. In this case, the CPU 112 always selects a variation pattern having a longer variation time than usual regardless of the determination result of the variation pattern random number in step S349.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S344 that the zone flag is not ON, the symbol variation time is short (eg, 3 seconds), the normal small hit table is set in the RAM 114 (S347), and the process proceeds to step S349. If it is determined in step S343 that it is not a small hit, the loss table is set in the RAM 114 (S348), and the process proceeds to step S349.

[Processing while stopped]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the stop process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S351). If it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON, the CPU 112 sets “1” from the remaining time J of the time reduction game stored in the RAM 114. Subtraction is performed (S352).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is a predetermined remaining count “Z” (S353). If the remaining count J is “Z”, the zone flag is turned ON (S354). .
For example, if the zone effect is to be executed in the small hit operation of the 51st to 54th rotations from the start of the short-time game, “46” to “49” may be set as “Z”.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game count J is not "Z", the process proceeds to step S355 without turning on the zone flag.
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is “0” (S355). If the remaining game count J is “0”, the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times in the short-time game. Since this means that it has been performed (for example, 100 times), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S356). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S355 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S357.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the special symbol set on the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol display 11 (S357). Next, it is determined whether or not the set special symbol is “small hit” (S358).
If it is determined that the game is a small hit, the small hit game flag is turned ON (S359). Thereafter, the small hitting opening is started, and the small hitting opening command is set (S360, S361), and the in-stop process is ended.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S358 that it is not a small hit, the in-stop process is terminated without turning on the small hit game flag.
If it is determined in step S357 that the game is a big hit, “0” is set to the remaining game count J of the short-time game, the remaining game count J is reset, and the short-time flag is turned OFF (S362, S363). ). Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, and the jackpot opening command is set (S364, S365), and the stop process is ended.

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of a customer waiting setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S371). If it is determined that the customer waiting flag is ON, the customer waiting setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S371 that the customer waiting flag is not ON, a customer waiting command is set and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S372, S373), and the customer waiting setting process is terminated.

[Normal pattern processing]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of normal symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not an auxiliary game flag indicating that the electric chew 22 is in operation is ON (S381). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, the normal symbol process is terminated. .
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S381 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S382). Here, when it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the gate passing frequency G of the gate SW 23a is greater than “1” (S383), and the gate passing frequency G is greater than “1”. 1 subtracts “1” from the number of times of gate passage (S384), and if it is determined that the number of times of gate passage G is not greater than “1”, that is, “0”, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, the CPU 112 determines a random number per normal symbol (S385), and sets a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 12 and a variation time (S386, S387).
Here, the set fluctuation time differs depending on the state of the time reduction flag stored in the RAM 114. For example, when the time reduction flag is OFF, the variation time is set to a relatively long 4.0 seconds.
On the other hand, when the hour / short flag is ON, a relatively short 1.5 seconds is set. After this, the normal symbol display 12 starts to change.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the normal symbol variation time has elapsed for a predetermined time (S389). If it is determined that the normal symbol variation time has not elapsed for the predetermined time, the normal symbol processing is terminated. To do.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed, the fluctuation is stopped (S390), and then it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is a winning symbol (S391).
If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S392), and the normal symbol processing is terminated. If the stop symbol is not a winning symbol in step S391, the normal symbol processing is terminated without turning on the auxiliary game flag.
If it is determined in step S382 that the normal symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S389, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation time has passed a predetermined variation time.

Next, the electric accessory processing will be described with reference to FIGS.
[Large winning prize processing]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of the big prize opening process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (S411), and if it is determined that the jackpot game flag is ON, executes the jackpot game process using the jackpot 16 of the jackpot device. (S412).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S411 that the big hit game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the small hit game flag is ON (S413), and if it is determined that the small hit game flag is ON. Then, the small hit game process using the special electric accessory device 2 is executed (S414). After executing the jackpot game process or the jackpot game process, the big prize opening process is terminated. Also, in the case where it is determined in step S413 that the small hit game flag is not ON, the big prize opening process is ended.

[Big hit game processing]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game process executed by the CPU of the game control board. Note that, in the jackpot game process using the special electric accessory device 2 and the jackpot game process using the jackpot 16 of the prize winning device, the setting of the number of rounds and the opening pattern is changed according to the prize winning device to be used. However, since the others can be realized by the same processing, here, the jackpot operation using the big prize opening device 30 will be described.
First, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot opening is in progress (S421). If it is determined that the jackpot opening is in progress, it is then determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S422). When it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S423).

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a setting example of the number of rounds / operation pattern.
In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is one kind of jackpot, the operation pattern in the round number (R number) 15R, 1R is set to, for example, 29.5 seconds open × 1 time by using the big winning device 16. Perform a jackpot game. Therefore, in the case of one type of big hit, “0” is set to the value of the round number R indicating the number of big hit rounds.
In addition, when the jackpot is a two-type jackpot via the V zone in the special electric accessory device 2, the special electric accessory device 2 is used and the operation pattern of the number of rounds (R number) 16R and 1R is small. The winning game is executed with the winning pattern, the second and subsequent operating patterns set to, for example, 29.5 seconds open × 1. For this reason, in the case of two types of big hits, “1” is set to the value of the round number R indicating the number of big hit rounds.

  Next, the CPU 112 resets the number counter C indicating the number of winnings per round of the big winning device 16 to “0”, and adds “1” to the value of the round number R (S424, S425). Thereafter, the operation of the big prize opening 16 of the big prize device is started. That is, the big winning opening 16 of the big winning device is changed from the closed state to the open state (S426).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 of the winning device has exceeded a predetermined operating time (S427), and determines that the operating time has not passed the predetermined time. Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the number counter C has reached the specified number C (S428).
When it is determined in step S428 that the value of the number counter C is the specified number C, the operation of the big prize opening 16 of the big prize device is terminated (S429). That is, the big winning opening 16 of the big winning device is changed from the open state to the closed state.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the number counter C is not the specified number C, the big hit game process is terminated.
In step S427, if the operating time of the big winning device 16 has exceeded the predetermined operating time, the processing of step S428 is skipped, and the large winning device is checked without checking the number of the number counter C. The operation of the winning opening 16 is finished (S429).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot round number is the maximum round number R. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit round is the final round (S430). If it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, the jackpot ending is started (S431), and the jackpot ending command is set (S432).
Next, after the value of the round number R is reset to “0” (S433), it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed (S434). If it is determined that the jackpot ending time has elapsed, a game state setting process is executed (S435), the jackpot game flag is turned off (S436), and the jackpot game process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S430 that the jackpot round is not the final round, the jackpot game process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S421 that the jackpot opening is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending is in progress (S437). If it is determined that the jackpot ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S434. If it is determined that the ending is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the large winning opening 16 of the large winning device is in operation (S438).

The CPU 112 determines whether or not it is a jackpot with a time-saving (S451). If it is determined that it is a jackpot with a time-saving, the CPU sets the time-saving flag to ON and sets the remaining game count J of the time-saving game to “100”, for example. Is set (S452, S453), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. Note that the game state setting process is also terminated when it is determined in step S451 that the jackpot is not a time-saving jackpot.

[Small hit game processing]
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the small hit game process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
CPU112 discriminate | determines whether the entrance flag of the special electric accessory apparatus 2 is ON (S471). If it is determined in step S471 that the ball entry flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 is in operation (S472). If it is determined in step S472 that the special electric accessory device 2 is not in operation, a small hit release pattern is set (S473).
Next, the CPU 112 sets an operation start command for the special electric accessory device 2 (S474), and starts the operation of the special electric accessory device 2 (S475). Specifically, after the elapse of a predetermined interval from the start of operation, the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 is opened once or twice, and after the elapse of a predetermined time from the start of operation, the advance / retreat member 33 is operated once. Alternatively, the advancing / retreating operation is performed about twice (S475).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the special electric accessory device 2 has elapsed a predetermined time (S476). If the predetermined operation time has elapsed, the special electric accessory device 2 is determined. The operation of is terminated (S477).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S476 that the operation time of the special electric accessory device 2 has not passed the predetermined time, the small hit game process is terminated.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the V flag indicating that the game ball has passed the V zone 6 is ON (S478). If it is determined that the V flag is ON, in step S479, It is determined whether or not the entry flag is OFF, that is, whether or not all the game balls in the special electric accessory device 2 have been discharged. In step S479, if it is determined that the pitch flag is OFF, the jackpot game flag is turned ON (S480), and the hourly flag is turned OFF (S481). Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started (S482), and the jackpot opening command is set (S483). Next, the V flag is returned to OFF (S484), the small hit game flag is returned to OFF (S488), and the small hit game process is terminated. If it is determined in step S479 that the pitch flag is not OFF, the small hit game process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S478 that the V flag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S485, and it is determined whether or not the entrance flag is OFF. If it is determined in step S485 that the entrance flag is OFF, a small hit ending is started (S486), a small hit ending command is set (S487), and the process proceeds to step S488. If it is determined in step S485 that the entrance flag is not OFF, the small hit game process is terminated.
If it is determined in step S471 that the pitch flag is ON, or if it is determined in step S472 that the special electric accessory device 2 is operating, the process proceeds to step S476.

[Den Chu processing]
FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of electric chew processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S511), and if it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, next determines whether or not the electric chew 22 is operating. This is performed (S512). Here, if the electric chew 22 is not in operation, the operation pattern of the electric chew 22 is set (S513), and the operation of the electric chew is started (S514).
For example, when the hourly flag is OFF, the opening time of the electric chew 22 is set to 0.15 seconds and the number of times of opening is set to one, and when the hourly flag is ON, Set the opening time to 1.80 seconds and the number of opening to 3 times.
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 22 has passed a predetermined operation time (S515). If it is determined that the operation time of the electric chew 22 has elapsed, an auxiliary game flag is set. It is turned off (S516), and the electric Chu process is terminated.
If it is determined in step S512 that the electric chew 22 is operating, the process proceeds to step S515.
If it is determined in step S511 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S515 that the operation time of the electric chew 22 has not elapsed, the electric chew process is terminated.
