Here, various random numbers acquired in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing random numbers acquired in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, where (a) is a jackpot random number, (b) is a design random number, and (c) is an example of a gate random number. FIG.
As for the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 5A, 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, a small hit or a loss based on the acquired big hit random number.
For example, in the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 5A, the ratio of the jackpot at the first start port 21 is set to 1/400, and “3” is obtained from 400 random numbers from “0” to “399”. Select jackpot (1 type jackpot) when acquired. In addition, the electric chute 22 as the second starting port has a small hit rate set to 399/400, and “1” to “399” are acquired from 400 random numbers “0” to “399”. Sometimes a small hit is selected, and when “0” is acquired, a loss is selected.

Next, as for the design random number shown in FIG. 5B, one random number value is acquired when the game ball wins the first starting port and the second starting port. The game control board 111 selects a jackpot type based on the jackpot random number acquired at the same time as the acquired symbol random number.
For example, in the symbol random number shown in FIG. 5 (b), the rate at which the type 1 big hit (per 15 rounds) is selected is set to 10/10, and the big hit is given when the game ball wins the first starting port. When selected, that is, when the jackpot random number is “3”, the game control board 111 selects one type of jackpot regardless of the symbol random number value.
On the other hand, the ratio at which the type 2 big hit (per 16 rounds) is selected is set to 10/10 as well as the type 1 big win, and when the game ball wins the second starting port and the small win is selected. When the game ball passes through the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2, the game control board 111 selects the two types of jackpots regardless of the design random number value.
Further, in the random number for gate shown in FIG. 5C, when the game ball passes through the gate 23, one random number value is acquired from, for example, 10 random numbers from “0” to “9”. In the winning random number shown in FIG. 5C, the winning ratio is set to 9/10, for example, and the game control board 111 selects winning when the acquired random number value is “0” to “8”.

In the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the game control board 111 is configured by a first jackpot random number, a design random number, or the like when a game ball enters the first start port 21 or the electric chew 22. 1 game data or 2nd game data is acquired, respectively. Based on the acquired first game data, the variation and stop of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 10 are controlled and displayed on the second special symbol display 11 based on the second game data. Control the fluctuation and stop of the second special symbol. When the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 10 is stopped and displayed with a predetermined jackpot symbol, a jackpot game using the jackpot 16 of the bonus device is executed.
Furthermore, the game control board 111 determines whether or not the number of jackpots has reached a preset number of times (for example, three times) after the jackpot game ends, and as a result of the determination, the number of jackpots is set to a preset number of times. Until the time is reached, a short game is given a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).

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, by launching a game ball aiming at the right side region of the game board 1 on which the gate 23 and the electric chew 22 are arranged, the winning rate of the game ball to the electric chew 22 is increased as a result. .
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. When the second special symbol stops at the small hitting symbol, as the small hitting operation, an opening / closing operation for opening and closing the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 once or a plurality of times is performed. Then, in this opening / closing operation, when the game ball wins in the special electric accessory device 2 and the winning game ball passes the V zone 4, two kinds of big wins are generated, and the big winning port 16 of the big winning device is used. A jackpot game runs.

The pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment is provided with a short-time game until the number of jackpots reaches a preset number of times, so that the player can continue right-handed game after the jackpot game, It is configured so that the probability of winning two types of big hits is increased.
Then, when the count value obtained by counting the number of jackpots reaches a preset number of times, the limiter function is activated to set the gaming state after the jackpot game to the normal gaming state. As a result, if a player wins one type of jackpot once, the probability of winning two types of jackpot will increase, so it is possible to acquire a large number of balls in one jackpot Become.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment, when a game ball is won in the electric chew 22 while the second special symbol of the second special symbol display 11 is variably displayed, for example, the second special symbol is limited to four. The right to fluctuate and display is held in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111. When configured in this way, after a preset number of times (3 times) is continuously won, the limiter is activated and the gaming state after the jackpot game is changed from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state. At the time, a maximum of four rights to variably display the second special symbol are on hold.
Therefore, even if the player shifts to the normal gaming state after the jackpot game, the right until the change of the second special symbol corresponding to the number of the second special symbols held (for example, four times) stops, Continuing the hitting game, the game ball won in the special electric accessory device 2 by the small hitting operation for the number of reserves is configured so that the big hitting game can be obtained again if it passes the V zone 4 again. ing. In this case, since the number of jackpots so far is reset, after the jackpot, the probability of winning two more types of jackpots increases, and it can be expected that more balls will be obtained in a short time.
In the present embodiment, the case where the number of consecutive big hits is set to 3 has been described as an example. However, this is merely an example, and the set number can be arbitrarily set.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 configured as described above, a configuration in which a game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 during a short-time game in order to efficiently obtain a ball in a short time. It was called for. That is, it has been required to increase the winning probability of the special electric accessory device 2 to the V zone 4.
However, when the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 is configured so that a game ball can easily win a prize, it is held in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 immediately after the transition from the short-time game state to the normal game state. In the small hitting operation for the number of holdings that are held, the probability that the game ball wins the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 is increased, so the number of balls that the player can acquire becomes extremely large, There was a risk that the player's gambling feelings could be greatly revered.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment, the advancing / retreating member 33 is controlled so that the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 for a predetermined period after the end of the big hit game. Then, after the predetermined period has elapsed, control is performed so as to periodically repeat the advancing / retreating operation for controlling the advancing / retreating member 33 so that it is difficult for a game ball to win the V zone 4 for substantially the same period as the predetermined period. Then, when the short-time game is not given after the jackpot game is over, the first second special symbol is variably displayed at least among the right to variably display the second special symbol held in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111. A characteristic is that the period during which the right is consumed is set to be equal to or longer than a predetermined period in which it is difficult for the advance / retreat member 33 to pass the game ball in the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2.

FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing the operation timing of the special electric accessory device provided in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, (a) is the operation timing at the time-short game immediately after the jackpot, (b) is It is the figure which each showed the operation timing at the time of the normal game immediately after jackpot.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the V solenoid 33a for moving the advance / retreat member 33 forward / backward moves the advance / retreat member as a mode in which the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 from a predetermined timing immediately after the end of the big hit game. The first advancing / retreating operation in which the time for stopping 33 at the protruding position is long, and the time for stopping the advancing / retreating member 33 at the protruding position is shorter than the first advancing / retreating operation as a mode in which the game ball does not easily pass through the V zone 4. The second advance / retreat operation is alternately repeated.

In this case, in the period T1 during which the first advancing / retreating operation in which the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4, the probability that the game ball won in the special electric accessory device 2 wins the V zone 4 is set. It is set to about 1/4. Therefore, when the gaming state immediately after the jackpot is the short-time gaming state, the player continues to perform the right-handed game at the time of the jackpot, and as shown in FIG. 6A, in the period T1 immediately after the jackpot game, If the second special symbol stops at the small winning symbol, and the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 moves along with this, the game ball wins the special electric accessory device 2 and about 1/4. You can get the next jackpot game at the rate of.
On the other hand, in the period T2 during which the second advancing / retreating operation in which it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the V zone 4, the probability that the game ball won in the special electric accessory device 2 wins the V zone 4 is 1. / 20 or so is set. Therefore, in this period T2, even if a game ball wins in the special electric accessory device 2, the game ball is difficult to pass through the V zone 4.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state immediately after the jackpot is the normal game state, as shown in FIG. 6B, the first variation time of the second special symbol that starts the variation immediately after the jackpot is set to the short-time game. The change stop timing of the second special symbol is adjusted to the period T2 during which the second advancing / retreating operation, in which it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the V zone 4, is made longer than the time.
With this configuration, when the gaming state immediately after the jackpot is the normal gaming state, even if the player continues to play the right-handed game immediately after the jackpot, as shown in FIG. During the period T2 during which the advance / retreat member 33 performs the second advance / retreat operation, the second special symbol stops at the small hit symbol, and the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 operates accordingly. Even if a prize is placed in the special electric accessory device 2, the winning probability of winning a jackpot can be reduced to about 1/20.

  If comprised in this way, since the game ball | bowl passes V zone 4 in the special electrically-powered equipment apparatus 2 at least during the short-time game immediately after jackpot, the probability of winning a jackpot can be set to a high probability. On the other hand, during the normal game immediately after the jackpot, at least during the period when the right to display the second special symbol stored in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 is variably displayed, the probability of winning the jackpot is set to be lower than the short-time game state. It becomes possible to do.

  Therefore, at least when the gaming state immediately after the jackpot is the short-time gaming state, the game ball can easily pass through the V zone 4 in the special electric accessory device 2, so that the probability of winning the jackpot can be set with a high probability. When the gaming state immediately after the jackpot is the normal gaming state, the winning probability of jackpot is set to be lower than the above-mentioned short-time gaming state during the period when at least the right to variably display the reserved second special symbol is consumed. It becomes possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from remarkably encouraging the player.

  In the short-time gaming state, if the jackpot is not won in the period T1 during which the first advancing / retreating operation in which the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 immediately after the jackpot, the V zone 4 is played. Of course, it is possible to win a jackpot in the period T2 during which the second forward / backward movement is performed, or to win in the first forward / backward movement generated after the second forward / backward movement.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the V solenoid 33a that moves the advance / retreat member 33 performs the first advance / retreat operation that allows the game ball to easily pass through the V zone 4 from a predetermined timing immediately after the end of the big hit game. Although the case where the second advancing / retreating operation in which the game ball is difficult to pass is repeatedly performed alternately is described as an example in FIG. 4, the second advancing / retreating operation is performed from a predetermined timing immediately after the end of the big hit game, and then the first Needless to say, the forward and backward movement operations may be alternately repeated. In this case, the former has an advantage that a big win is quickly obtained in the short-time gaming state. In addition, the latter has an advantage that the right to display the second special symbol that is quickly held in the normal gaming state can be consumed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the advance / retreat member 33 is controlled so that the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 for a predetermined period from the end of the big hit game. It is also possible to perform control such that the control is performed repeatedly so that a game ball easily wins the V zone 4 in the V zone 4 and a game ball hardly wins the V zone 4.
Also in this case, when the short-time game is not given after the jackpot game is finished, the first second special symbol is changed among at least the right to display the second special symbol held in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111. What is necessary is just to set the period when the right to display is digested more than the predetermined period used as the aspect in which it is difficult for the advance / retreat member 33 to pass a game ball to the V zone 4 in the special electrically-powered equipment device 2.
Further, in the present embodiment, the period T1 during which the first advance / retreat operation in which the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 and the second advance / retreat operation in which the game ball does not easily pass through the V zone 4 are performed. Although the period T2 during which the movement is performed is described as being substantially the same period, this is merely an example, and the period T1 during which the advance / retreat member 33 performs the first advance / retreat operation and the advance / retreat member 33 perform the second advance / retreat operation. Needless to say, the period T2 may be set to be different.

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.
Note that the processing described below can be realized by the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 executing a program stored in the ROM 113.

In this case, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the first start port SW21a of the first start port 21 is on (S201). 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 SW4a of the specific area (V zone) in the special electric accessory device 2 is ON (S221). When it is determined that the specific area SW4a 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 SW4a 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.

[Gate SW processing]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the gate SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
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 4 in the special electric accessory device 2 is enabled (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 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 4 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).
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 small hit is a change immediately after the big hit (S344). If it is determined in step S344 that the small hit is a change immediately after the big hit, it is determined in step S345 whether or not the time reduction flag is OFF, and if it is determined that the time reduction flag is OFF, The first small hitting table is set in the RAM 114 (S346). If a negative result is obtained in steps S344 and S345, the second small hitting table is set in the RAM 114 (S347).
If it is determined in step S343 that it is not a small hit, the loss table is set in the RAM 114 (S348).
Next, the CPU 112 determines the variation pattern random number acquired in steps S204 and S209 (see FIG. 8) (S349), and sets the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern random number from the set table. (S350).
At this time, in the first small hitting table, the fluctuation pattern with a long fluctuation time, that is, the period T2 during which the second advancing / retreating operation is performed, which is a mode in which the game ball hardly passes through the V zone 4 as described above. A variation pattern for matching the variation stop timing of the second special symbol is stored. On the other hand, the second small hitting table has a fluctuation pattern with a short fluctuation time, that is, the period T1 during which the first advancing / retreating operation, which is a mode in which the game ball easily passes through the V zone 4 as described above, is performed. 2 A variation pattern for matching the variation stop timing of the special symbol is stored. After the variation pattern is set, the variation pattern selection process is terminated.

[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), and 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 short-time game, the remaining game count J is reset, and the short-time flag is turned OFF (S360, S361). ). Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, a jackpot opening command is set (S362, S363), and the stop process is terminated.

[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 number G of the gate SW 23a is greater than “1” (S383), and the count passing number 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). If it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, “1” is set to the value of the round number R indicating the number of jackpot rounds (S423). Thereafter, the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S424).

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.
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.

  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 (S425, S426). Thereafter, the operation of the big prize opening 16 of the big prize device is started. That is, the big prize opening 16 of the big prize winning device is changed from the closed state to the open state (S427).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 of the winning device has passed a predetermined operating time (S428), 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 (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 S428, if the operating time of the special winning device 16 has passed the predetermined operating time, the processing of step S429 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 (S430).

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 (S431). If it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, the jackpot ending is started (S432), and the jackpot ending command is set (S433).
Next, after the value of the round number R is reset to “0” (S434), it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed (S435). If it is determined that the jackpot ending time has elapsed, the game state setting process is executed (S436), the jackpot game flag is turned OFF (S437), and the jackpot game process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S431 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 (S438). If it is determined that the jackpot ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S435. 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 (S439).
Here, if it is determined that the big prize opening 16 of the big prize winning device is in operation, the process proceeds to step S428, and if it is determined that the big prize opening 16 of the big prize winning device is not in operation, the process proceeds to step S425. .
If it is determined in step S422 that the jackpot opening time has not elapsed, if it is determined in step S429 that the value of the number counter C has not reached the specified number C, or if the jackpot ending time has elapsed in step S435. If it is determined that it is not, the jackpot game process is terminated.

[Game state setting process]

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 changes the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 from the closed state to the open state (S474). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operation time of the movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 has passed a predetermined time (S475). If the predetermined operation time has elapsed, the special electric accessory device The operation of the second movable piece 3 is finished (S476).
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S475 that the operation time of the movable piece 3 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 4 is ON (S477). If it is determined that the V flag is ON, the CPU 112 proceeds to step S478. In step S478, it is determined whether or not the entrance flag is OFF, that is, whether or not all the game balls in the special electric accessory device 2 have been discharged. If it is determined in step S478 that the pitch flag is OFF, the jackpot game flag is turned ON (S479), and the hourly flag is turned OFF (S480). Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started (S481), and the jackpot opening command is set (S482). Next, the V flag is returned to OFF (S483), the small hit game flag is returned to OFF (S487), and the small hit game process is terminated. If it is determined in step S478 that the pitch flag is not OFF, the small hit game process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S477 that the V flag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S484, and in step S484, it is determined whether or not the ball entry flag is OFF. If it is determined in step S484 that the entrance flag is OFF, a small hit ending is started (S485), a small hit ending command is set (S486), and the process proceeds to step S487. If it is determined in step S484 that the pitch 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 movable piece 3 of the special electric accessory device 2 is operating, the process proceeds to step S475.
