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 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 11 is stopped and displayed with a predetermined jackpot symbol, the game control board 111 is large in the big winning device. A jackpot game using the winning opening 16 is executed.

In addition, the game control board 111, when the first special symbol of the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol of the second special symbol display 11 is stopped and displayed at a predetermined small hit symbol, An opening / closing operation of opening / closing the movable portions 3L, 3R of the special electric accessory device 2 once or a plurality of times is executed. Then, in the opening / closing operation of the movable parts 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 via the housing part 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.
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 a short-time game, the game ball can be raised to the electric chew 22 by firing the game ball aiming at the gate 23 and the electric chew 22 arranged in the right region of the game board 1. .

FIG. 6 is a view showing a small hitting operation during the short-time game of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
During the short-time game, the winning rate of the game ball to the electric chew 22 is high and the second special symbol is easily reserved, so that the small hitting operation is continuously performed as shown in FIG. Such a short-time game is continued until the big win is won again or until 100 small hit games S1 to S100 are completed.
As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the time required for one small hit operation during the short-time game is the symbol variation period (2 seconds to 10 seconds) during which the special symbol variation display operation is performed, and the special symbol is stopped. The symbol stop period for performing the display operation (1 second), the opening operation period for performing the opening operation of the movable parts 3L and 3R of the special electric accessory device 2 (1 second), the game ball entering the special electric accessory device 2 It is determined by the ball entry / discharge detection period (2 seconds) for detecting discharge. For example, if the symbol variation period is 2 to 10 seconds, the symbol stop period is 1 second, the opening operation period is 1 second, and the entry / discharge detection period is 2 seconds, the time required for one small hitting operation is 6 seconds. ~ 14 seconds.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment configured as described above, for example, when a game ball wins the electric chew 22 during the short-time game, the second special symbol display 11 of the second special symbol display 11 is stored in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111. It is possible to store up to four rights to variably display 2 special symbols. In this case, the RAM 114 stores information such as various random numbers (big hit random numbers and symbol random numbers) and symbol variation patterns as well as the right to display the second special symbols in a variable manner. These pieces of information are transmitted from the game control board 111 to the effect control board 121 at a predetermined timing.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment, in the effect control board 121, when the right to display the second special symbol in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 is stored as a holding ball, the RAM 114 has the second special symbol. Based on the variation time of the symbol variation pattern stored as the holding ball, it is determined in advance whether or not the total time of the small hit game based on the holding ball of the second special symbol is a predetermined time, and the result When it is determined that the total time of the small hit game based on the reserved ball of the second special symbol is a predetermined time, the chance to be a specific effect within the game time of the small hit game based on the reserved ball of the second special symbol Added zone production. Here, the predetermined time indicates a time corresponding to the rotation cycle of the rotating body 5 in the special electric accessory device 2. For example, if the rotation cycle of the rotating body 5 is 40 seconds, all the second special symbols held are small hits, and the total time of the small hitting operation is 40 seconds of the rotation cycle of the rotating body 5 When it is, the chance zone effect is executed.

  For example, in FIG. 6A, when the operation time of the small hitting operations S51 to S54 from the 51st to the 54th is 10 seconds, the chance zone effect is executed in the small hitting operations S51 to S54. To do. In this case, since the rotating body 5 rotates 90 degrees by one small hitting operation during this period, the special electric accessory device is used for any one of the small hitting operations S51 to S54. 2 includes a timing at which a winning game ball is likely to be accommodated in the specific accommodating portion 5a, that is, a jackpot winning area shown in FIG. 7 is included. But there is.

Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment uses a position detection sensor 9 attached in the vicinity of the rotating body 5 in the special electric accessory device 2 to rotate the rotating body. It is possible to detect the position of the five specific accommodating portions 5a.
Therefore, in the effect control board 121 of the present embodiment, the specific housing portion of the rotating body 5 based on the variation time of the second special symbol and the detection result of the position detection sensor 9 transmitted in advance from the game control board 111. Since it is possible to determine in advance the timing at which a game ball is likely to enter 5a, if the determination result is notified to the player in advance using the image display device 8 or the like, the interest during the short-time game is further enhanced. be able to. For example, when the reserved image indicating the number of reserved balls of the second special symbol is displayed using the image display device 8 or the like, the timing at which the game ball can easily enter the specific housing portion 5a of the rotating body 5 By changing the display mode (color, shape, etc.) of the reserved image corresponding to, the player is informed in advance that the expectation that will be a big hit when a game ball is won in the special electric accessory device 2 is high. It becomes possible to do.
Moreover, in this embodiment, when it is determined as a result of the prior determination that the change in the second special symbol is a timing at which a game ball is likely to enter the specific housing portion 5a of the rotating body 5, the above-described prior notification effect is provided. In addition, it is also possible to execute a notification effect for notifying that the change is a timing at which a game ball is likely to enter the specific housing portion 5a of the rotating body 5.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the rotation period of the rotating body 5 is 40 seconds and the time required for one small hit operation is 10 seconds has been described as an example. The present invention can be applied when the total time corresponds to the rotation period of the rotating body 5.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the number of reserved symbols of the second special symbol is the upper limit of four has been described as an example, but the number of reserved symbols of the second special symbol is two or three. However, when the total time of the small hit game by the holding ball of the second special symbol is synchronized with the rotation period of the rotating body 5, a chance zone effect can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of reserved symbols of the second special symbol is described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to the number of reserved symbols of the first special symbol. Furthermore, in the case of a gaming machine of the type in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are digested in the winning order, the present invention can also be applied to the reserved number obtained by adding the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

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, the jackpot random number, the design random number, the variation pattern random number and the like are acquired 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, the jackpot random number, the design random number, the variation pattern random number and the like are acquired 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]

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. 12 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 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 various random numbers corresponding to the special symbols of the second special symbol display 11 in the RAM 114, the random numbers are stored in the fourth storage area. The various random numbers stored are shifted to the third storage area, the various random numbers stored in the third storage area are shifted to the second storage area, and the various random numbers stored in the second storage area are 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). Also at this time, for example, when the first to fourth storage areas are provided as storage areas for storing various random numbers corresponding to the special symbols of the first special symbol display 10 in the RAM 114, the fourth storage area Various stored random numbers are shifted to the third storage area, various random numbers stored in the third storage area are shifted to the second storage area, and various random numbers stored in the second storage area are shifted to the first storage area. To do. Various random numbers stored in the first storage area are written in a predetermined processing area.

Next, the CPU 112 turns off the customer waiting flag (S315). Next, a jackpot determination process, which will be described later, is executed based on various random numbers written in a 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. 16 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 various random numbers written in a predetermined processing area of the RAM 114 (S331), and determines whether or not it is a jackpot in the subsequent step S332. Here, if it is determined that the jackpot, the design random number included in the various random numbers 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. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the 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. 9) 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).
In this case, the zone small hitting table is configured only by a fluctuation pattern of a fluctuation time (for example, 6 seconds) synchronized with a quarter cycle of the rotation cycle of the rotating body 5 in a time required for one small hitting operation. .
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, a normal small hit table having a variation pattern of a plurality of variation times (2 seconds to 10 seconds) is set in the RAM 114 (S347), and step S349 is performed. Proceed to 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. 18 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 “0” (S353). 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 (S354). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S355.

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 (S355). Next, it is determined whether or not the set special symbol is “small hit” (S356).
If it is determined that the game is a small hit, the small hit game flag is turned ON (S357). Thereafter, the small hitting opening is started, and the small hitting opening command is set (S358, S359), and the in-stop process is ended.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S356 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 S355 that the game is a big hit, “0” is set to the remaining game count J of the time-saving game, the remaining game count J is reset, and the time-saving flag is turned OFF (S361, S362). ). Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, a jackpot opening command is set (S363, S364), and the stop process is terminated.

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of a 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. 23 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).
Here, when it is determined that the big prize opening 16 of the big prize winning device is in operation, the process proceeds to step S427, and when it is determined that the big prize winning opening 16 of the big prize winning device is not in operation, the process proceeds to step S424. .
If it is determined in step S422 that the jackpot opening time has not elapsed, if it is determined in step S428 that the value counter C has not reached the specified number C, or if the jackpot ending time has elapsed in step S434. If it is determined that it is not, the jackpot game process is terminated.

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of a game state setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
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.

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. 26 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.

Note that the processing described below can also be realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.

[Command reception processing]
FIG. 28 is a flowchart illustrating an example of command reception processing.
In this case, the CPU 122 determines whether or not the hold number increase command has been received (S701). If it is determined that the hold number increase command has been received, the CPU 122 adds the hold number of the hold balls stored in the RAM 124. (S702). Then, after adding the hold number, a hold number command is set (S703).
Next, in step S704, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a special figure change start command has been received. If it is determined that a special figure change start command has been received, an effect selection process is executed (S705). After the effect selection process is completed, a pre-determination process for executing the zone effect is executed (S706).
Next, in step S707, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a special figure fluctuation stop command has been received (S707). If it is determined that a special figure fluctuation stop command has been received, the special figure fluctuation effect end processing is performed. Execute (S708).
If it is determined in step S704 that a special figure change start command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S707. If it is determined in step S707 that the special figure variation stop command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S709.

Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a big hit or small win opening command has been received (S709). If it is determined that the opening command has been received, a big hit or small hit winning effect selection process is executed. (S710). If it is determined in step S709 that the opening command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S711 without performing the hit effect selection process.
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a jackpot or jackpot ending command has been received (S711). If it is determined that an ending command has been received, the CPU 122 executes a jackpot or jackpot ending effect selection process. (S712), the command receiving process is terminated. If it is determined in step S711 that an ending command has not been received, the command reception process is terminated without executing the ending effect selection process.

[Direction selection process]
FIG. 29 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect selection process.
In this case, the CPU 122 first analyzes the change start command (S721). For example, variation pattern information, jackpot information, symbol information, etc. included in the variation start command are extracted. Next, the CPU 122 subtracts the number of reserved special symbols (S722).
Next, the CPU 122 selects a variation effect pattern based on the analysis result of the variation start command (S723). Thereafter, a change start command is set (S724), and the effect selection process is terminated.

[Preliminary judgment processing]
FIG. 30 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the prior determination process.
In this case, the CPU 122 first determines whether or not the zone flag is ON in step S731. If it is determined in step S731 that the zone flag is not ON, then in step S732, it is determined whether or not all the second special symbols that are reserved are small hits. If it is determined in step S732 that all of them are small hits, then in step S733, it is determined whether or not the total time of the small hit game by the holding ball is a predetermined time that is the rotation period of the rotating body 5. . If an affirmative result is obtained in step S733, the zone flag is turned on in the subsequent step S734, and in step S735, the reserved number of the second special symbol is set in the zone counter Z indicating the number of zones. .
Next, in step S736, the CPU 122 rewrites the variation effect pattern in the variation into a zone variation effect pattern.
If it is determined in step S731 that the zone flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S736. Also, if it is determined in step S732 that the second special symbols held are not all small hits, or if it is determined in step S733 that the total time of the small hit game using the held balls is not a predetermined time, The pre-determination process ends.

Next, based on the position detection information from the position detection sensor 9, the CPU 122 calculates the position of the specific accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5 in the variation (S737).
Next, in step S738, it is determined whether or not the position of the specific accommodating portion 5a of the rotating body 5 is within a predetermined range. That is, it is determined whether or not it is a jackpot winning area that is highly likely to be a jackpot when a game ball wins in the special electric accessory device 2.
If it is determined in step S738 that the current position is within the jackpot winning area, a special zone effect pattern is set in step S739. If it is determined in step S738 that it is not within the big win area, the process proceeds to step S740 without setting the special zone effect pattern.

Thereafter, in step S740, “1” is subtracted from the value of the zone counter Z. In the subsequent step S741, it is determined whether or not the value of the zone counter Z is “0”. If it is determined in step S741 that the value of the zone counter Z is “0”, the zone flag is turned OFF in step S742, and the preliminary determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S741 that the value of the zone count Z is not “0”, the preliminary determination process is terminated without turning off the zone flag.

  By performing the pre-determination process in this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment, the chances of zone hits, and the chances of winning big hits in the chance zone direction are higher than the chance zone effects. It is possible to perform a special effect or the like indicating that the value is high.
