Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the opportunities of ball entries to a start means capable of imparting the big winning of a large profit in an advantageous state. <P>SOLUTION: A main CPU selects a regular pattern variation pattern F2 wherein the long variation time is determined during a first pattern variation game is under variation in a time shortening state, and selects a regular pattern variation pattern F3 wherein the short variation time is determined during the first pattern variation game is not under the variation. Thus, since the regular pattern variation pattern F3 is selected during a second pattern variation game is under the variation and during a standby state as well, a regular pattern game is ended in a short time, and the start condition of the first pattern variation game is quickly acquired if a game ball can be made to enter a lower start winning port while an opening/closing blade 26 is open by a winning in winning drawing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a plurality of starting means for providing a starting condition for a symbol variation game and preferentially executing a symbol variation game based on a ball entering a specific starting means.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a gaming machine) which is a type of gaming machine, a plurality of types of starting winning holes are provided on the surface of the game board, and each starting winning hole is entered into the starting winning hole. A reserved ball storage unit is provided for storing the played game balls as start-up reserved balls. In this type of gaming machine, the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball stored in the holding ball storage unit of any one of the start winning ports is preferentially executed among the plurality of start winning ports, There is a game that does not execute a symbol variation game based on a ball entered into another start winning opening until all the symbol variation games based on the start holding ball have been consumed.

In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, two start winning ports (a first start winning port and a second start winning port) are arranged. While the first start winning opening is always allowed to enter a game ball, the second starting winning opening is provided with an opening / closing blade for performing an opening / closing operation, and the opening / closing blade is opened when a specific condition is satisfied. The ball is in an open state, and entry is permitted. And in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the symbol variation game based on the start hold ball stored in the hold storage unit (hereinafter referred to as “second hold storage unit”) of the second start winning opening is preferentially executed. ing.
JP 2005-304932 A

  In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the above-described specific condition is easily established in a state where the variation time is shortened (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”), and the opening / closing blades of the second start winning opening are opened. And in the gaming machine of patent document 1, when winning the big hit lottery based on the game ball detected at each starting winning opening, the big winning game having different profit is given to each starting winning opening. Specifically, when a big win lottery based on a game ball detected at the first start winning opening is won, a big hit game with the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game set to 15 is given, while the second start winning prize is given. When the big hit lottery based on the game ball detected in the mouth is won, the big hit game with the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game set to 10 is awarded. During the time-short state, the chance to enter the second start winning opening is increased by the opening and closing blade opening operation, and the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball in the second holding storage unit is preferentially executed. In addition, the number of wins based on game balls detected at the second start winning opening increases. However, even if you win the jackpot lottery based on the entrance to the 2nd start winning opening, you will only get a jackpot game with 10 profitable rounds, so even though you won the jackpot during the advantageous short-time state. However, there was a risk of dissatisfaction that there was little profit for the player.

  Therefore, in order to solve this problem, when a big hit is made based on a ball entered into the first start winning opening, a big hit game of 10 rounds is given to enter the second start winning opening. When the big hit is based on the game, it can be considered that the big hit game with 15 rounds is given. In this case, if the player enters the second start winning opening during the short-time state, the chances of winning a big hit with 15 profitable rounds will increase.

  However, even if the number of times of opening the second start winning opening increases during the short-time state and it becomes easy to enter the game, the game ball does not enter the second start winning opening and the game ball is always allowed to enter. If you enter only the first starting prize opening, you will not be able to make full use of your chance to win the jackpot of 15 rounds. As a result, only the symbol variation game based on the game ball entering the first start winning opening is digested, and even if a big win is won, only a big hit with 10 rounds can be won. The meaning of associating the second start winning opening with the jackpot of 15 rounds is lost.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can increase the chances of entering a starting means that can give a big jackpot of profit in an advantageous gaming state. The purpose is to do.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 changes the first symbol variation game performed by varying the predetermined first symbol and the second symbol defined separately from the first symbol. Display means for displaying the second symbol variation game to be performed, normal symbol display means for displaying the normal symbol variation game to be performed by varying the normal symbol, and the first symbol variation by detecting the entered game ball A first starting means for providing a game start condition and having an opening / closing mechanism that operates so that an entrance of the game ball can be in an open state and a closed state, and detecting the entered game ball A second starting means for giving a starting condition for the second symbol variation game; a third starting means for giving a starting condition for the normal symbol varying game by detecting a game ball that has entered the ball; and entering each starting means Detected A hold storage means for storing a technical ball as a start hold ball for each start means, a change pattern storage means for storing a change pattern capable of specifying a change content of the symbol change game, and a change content of the normal symbol change game are specified. It is determined whether or not a normal symbol variation pattern storage unit that stores a possible normal symbol variation pattern and a first start hold ball corresponding to the first start unit are stored in the hold storage unit. If the result is affirmative, a big hit lottery for determining whether or not a big hit is made based on the first start holding ball, the variation pattern is selected based on the lottery result, and the first symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern. When the first start holding ball is not stored, the second start holding ball corresponding to the second starting unit is stored in the holding storage unit. If the determination result is affirmative, the big hit lottery is performed based on the second starting hold ball, the variation pattern is selected based on the lottery result, and the variation pattern is selected according to the variation pattern. 2) It is determined whether or not a game control means for executing a symbol variation game and a normal design start holding ball corresponding to the third start means are stored in the hold storage means, and the determination result is affirmative Performs a lottery to determine whether or not to hit based on the starting reserved ball of the normal symbol, selects the normal symbol variation pattern based on the lottery result, and executes the normal symbol variation game according to the normal symbol variation pattern The normal symbol control means to be executed, and when winning the jackpot lottery, a bonus including a jackpot game is given after the end of each symbol variation game, and the jackpot lottery based on the first start holding ball When the winner is won, a privilege granting means for granting a privilege set with a profit that can be earned by the player larger than when winning the jackpot lottery based on the second starting hold ball, and when winning the winner lottery Includes an opening control unit that opens the opening / closing mechanism after the normal symbol variation game is over, and the normal symbol variation pattern storage unit is configured so that the opening / closing mechanism of the first starting unit can be in an open state. A first normal symbol variation pattern in which a first variation time is defined as a normal symbol variation pattern that can be selected by the normal symbol control means in a state where the number of operations per unit time increases, and the first symbol variation pattern; variations are second ordinary and symbol variation pattern stored that defines the second variable time shorter than the time, the said variation pattern storage means, winning the jackpot lottery If there is no change, the first change pattern and the second change pattern are stored as change patterns that can be selected by the game control means, and the second change is longer than the change time set in the first change pattern. The variation time set in the pattern is set shorter, and the game control means selects the second variation pattern when the big hit lottery is not won in the increased number of times. In the state where the number-of-times increasing state is not given, when the big hit lottery is not won, the first variation pattern is selected, and in the state of increasing the number of times, the normal symbol control means It is determined whether or not one symbol is changing. If the determination result is negative, the second normal symbol variation pattern is selected, and the second normal symbol variation pattern is selected. While executing the normal symbol variation game according over emissions, if the judgment result is affirmative, it selects the first normal symbol variation pattern, the ordinary in accordance with the first normal symbol variation pattern The symbol variation game is executed, and the first variation time set in the first normal symbol variation pattern selected when the first symbol is varying in the state of increasing the number of times is: The second normal symbol variation pattern that is selected when the second symbol is varying in the increased number of times while being longer than the variation time defined in the second variation pattern. The gist is that the second variation time is shorter than the variation time defined in the second variation pattern .

The For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a winning ball corresponding to the number of gaming balls that have entered the big winning opening 29. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a prize ball is obtained.

  The big hit game is started after the big win symbol is determined by the internal lottery, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage is finished, the round game in which the grand prize opening 29 is opened by the opening operation of the grand prize opening door 28 is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (upper round number) (15 or 2 times in the present embodiment). As multiple times. One round game is either that a predetermined round game time has elapsed since the start of the round game or that a predetermined maximum number of game balls have been entered in one round game. The process ends when the end condition is satisfied. In addition, after the end of one round game, the next round game is performed with a predetermined interval time in between. The big hit game ends with an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game after the end of the predetermined number of round games.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first hold indicator R is disposed on the right side of the first special figure indicator H0 in the effect display device 20. The first hold indicator R enters the lower start winning opening 27 and becomes a start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “first start hold ball”), which is stored in the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display device that displays the number of stored balls (hereinafter referred to as “first reserved memory number”), and the number of times of the first symbol variation game being held is notified by the display content of the first hold indicator R. . The first reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the first symbol variation game is started. When a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 during the first symbol variation game (or the second symbol variation game), the first reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (this embodiment) Then, it is accumulated up to 4). The first hold indicator R is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means including a first hold lamp R1, a second hold lamp R2, a third hold lamp R3, and a fourth hold lamp R4. For example, when the first hold lamp R1 is lit, it is informed that one first symbol variation game is on hold.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a second holding indicator L is disposed on the left side of the second special figure indicator H1 in the effect display device 20. The second hold indicator L enters the upper start winning opening 25 and becomes a start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “second start hold ball”), which is stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display that displays the number of stored balls (hereinafter referred to as “second reserved memory number”), and the number of times of the second symbol variation game held by the display content of the second hold indicator L is notified. . The second reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the second symbol variation game is started. When a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25 during the second symbol variation game (or the first symbol variation game), the second reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (this embodiment) Then, it is accumulated until 4). The second hold indicator L is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp L1, a second hold lamp L2, a third hold lamp L3, and a fourth hold lamp L4. For example, when the first hold lamp L1 and the second hold lamp L2 are lit, it is notified that two second symbol variation games are on hold.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a 7-segment normal symbol display H <b> 10 is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. In the normal symbol display H10, a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “general symbols”) different from the symbols (special symbols and decorations) used in the symbol variation game are changed and the normal symbols are displayed. The normal symbol variation game for deriving the above is executed. Hereinafter, the normal symbol variation game may be referred to as “ordinary game”. In the present embodiment, one common figure is derived in the common figure game, and the types of the common figure are “0” and “1”. In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display H10 corresponds to a normal symbol display means.

  The player can recognize the per-normal figure or the off-normal figure from the normal figure that is finally displayed in a fixed stop in the normal game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is confirmed and stopped, the common symbol per unit can be recognized. The universal map which can recognize this universal map is the display result of the hit. When the display result per usual map is displayed as a fixed stop, the player is given a gaming state per common figure. In addition, when the usual figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is confirmed and stopped, the deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this deviation is a display result of deviation.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 4) that detects a game ball that has passed through the ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game, triggered by the detection of the entry of the game ball (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened (whether a game ball can be inserted into the lower starting winning opening 27). It is. As described above, the lower start winning opening 27 is normally closed by the opening / closing blade 26, but the opening / closing blade 26 is opened when a game state is given per game. It will be in an open state and can enter a game ball. In other words, the specific opening condition described above is a win for a lottery per ordinary figure. Then, when the game state is given per usual figure, it becomes easier to enter the game ball into the lower start winning opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26. In the present embodiment, the operation gate 23 and the gate sensor SE4 correspond to the third starting means.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a general-purpose hold display device M is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. The general-purpose hold indicator M has a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23 and becomes a start-retained ball (hereinafter referred to as a “normal-use start-retained ball”), which is stored in the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display for displaying the number of starting and holding balls stored (hereinafter referred to as “the number of ordinary maps stored”). . The usual-pending memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the operating gate 23, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the usual-game is started. Then, when a game ball enters the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the general-purpose reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). The general hold indicator M is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp M1, a second hold lamp M2, a third hold lamp M3, and a fourth hold lamp M4. For example, when the first hold lamp M1, the second hold lamp M2, and the third hold lamp M3 are lit, it is informed that three ordinary games are on hold.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is a function that provides a probability variation state in which the probability of winning a lottery (winning probability) varies from a normal probability having a low probability (normal state) to a high probability after the jackpot game ends. The probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10,000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is executed or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the probability variation state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is set to 10000 times as a predetermined number of times, and thus is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In addition, if a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability and a big hit is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player expects to become a probability variation big hit. While playing games.

  In this embodiment, a promiscuous state is given after the jackpot game ends (a state in which a lottery probability is high) is given, and a promiscuous state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a lottery probability is low). Is a non-probable big hit).

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”). The short-time function benefits from a short-time state in which the fluctuation time of the ordinary game is shortened and the lottery probability (winning probability) of the ordinary game based on the passage of the operating gate 23 varies from a normal probability having a low probability to a high probability. It is a function given as In addition, the opening and closing blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the usual game, depending on whether the time reduction state is given or not. ing. For example, in the present embodiment, when the normal game is won when the short time state is not given, the open / close blade 26 is opened once and the open state is kept until 0.3 (seconds) elapses. To maintain. On the other hand, when the normal game is won when the short-time state is given, the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 is opened increases to 3 times and 1.4 (seconds) after the opening time is released in one opening. The open state is maintained until (long time compared with the normal state) elapses. That is, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the time-short state is given compared to the state where the time-short state is not given. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the time-short state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In addition, the said number of times that a short-time state is given changes according to the gaming state when winning a big hit. In this embodiment, the short time state corresponds to the increased number of times state.

  Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). . Note that FIG. 3 (a) is awarded when winning a big hit lottery and a small hit lottery awarded when winning the big hit lottery based on the second start holding ball detected at the upper start winning opening 25. The type of small hit game to be played is shown. Also, FIG. 3 (b) is awarded when winning a big hit lottery that is awarded when winning a big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball detected at the lower start winning opening 27 and when winning a small hit lottery. The type of small hit game to be played is shown.

Initially, the jackpot game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when winning a big hit lottery based on each start holding ball detected at the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower start winning opening 27, FIG. 3 (a) and FIG. 3 (b) One jackpot is determined from the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 1, and a jackpot game based on the determined jackpot is given. Which of the three types of jackpots is to be awarded is determined according to the type of special figure (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, there are a first special figure as 100 types of jackpot symbols and a second special figure as 100 types of jackpot symbols, and each of the 100 types of first special charts and second special figures is a predetermined number. It is distributed. In FIG. 3A, for the sake of simplification of description, the first special diagrams distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol A”, “symbol B”, and “symbol C”. Also, in FIG. 3B, in order to simplify the description, the second special diagrams distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol a”, “symbol b”, and “symbol c”.

  The jackpot game based on the symbols A and a is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A and the symbol a is referred to as “probability 15 round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “once” in each round game. Further, in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends and the time-short state is given until the end of the probability variation state. In FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the case where the time reduction state is given until the end of the probability variation state is described as “no limit”.

  The jackpot game based on the symbols B and b is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbols B and b will be referred to as “probability two-round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, it is set to open the grand prize winning opening 29 “once” in each round game. Also, in the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probabilistic state and a short time state until the end of the probable state are given after the jackpot game ends, and the probable state only after the jackpot game ends May be granted.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol C and the symbol c is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and the probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game is finished (non-probability variation state is imparted). Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol C and the symbol c is referred to as “non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game”. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game based on the symbol C, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state and the short time state are not given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, in the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game based on the symbol c, a short time state is assigned with the predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) as the upper limit number after the jackpot game ends.

Next, the small hit game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a small hitting lottery based on each start holding ball detected by the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower starting winning opening 27 is won, FIG. 3A and FIG. ) Is determined, and a small hit game based on the determined small hit is given. In the present embodiment, there are a first special figure and a second special figure as a plurality of kinds of small hit symbols, and a first special figure and a second special symbol as the small hit symbols are distributed by a predetermined number. In FIG. 3A, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, the first special drawings distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “design D”. Also, in FIG. 3B, in order to simplify the description, the second special drawings distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol d”.

  In the small hit game based on the symbols D and d, the specified number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number of balls (count) for one round game is set to “9”. Yes. Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “twice”. That is, in the present embodiment, in one round game of the small hit game, the big winning opening 29 is opened for the same number of rounds as the number of rounds set in the probability variation 2 round big hit game. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in a short time state If so, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the short time state. In addition, in the small hit lottery game, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is an uncertain change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the non-probable change state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is If it is a non-time-short state, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the non-time-short state.

  In this embodiment, the time from the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol variation game that gives the probability variation 2 round jackpot game to the start of the next symbol variation game through the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the symbol variation game that grants the small variation game The time from the change stop to the start of the next symbol change game through the small hit game is set to the same time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game based on the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 29. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning game 2 round big hit game or the small win game is given from the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 29 or the time.

Next, the selection probability of the jackpot game defined in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
In the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 3A, symbols A and B are assigned the first chart as 80 jackpot symbols out of the first chart as 100 types of jackpot symbols. Yes. In other words, if both the probabilistic big hit and the non-probable big hit are considered as “big hit”, the probability of probable big hit (probable 15 round big hit, probable 2 round big hit) is set to be 80% of the total big hit. Yes. In addition, among the first special symbols as 100 types of jackpot symbols, the first special symbol as 50 types of jackpot symbols is assigned to the symbol A, and as to the symbol B, as the 30 types of jackpot symbols. The first special drawing is distributed. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of probability variation is set to be 50% of the overall jackpot, and the probability of winning 2 rounds of probability variation is set to be 30% of the overall jackpot. On the other hand, among the first special diagrams as 100 types of jackpot symbols, the first special diagrams as 20 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol C. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of uncertain variation is set to be 20% of the overall jackpot.

  On the other hand, in the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 3 (b), the symbols a and b have the second chart as 80 jackpot symbols out of the second chart as the 100 jackpot symbols. It is distributed. In other words, if both the probable big hit and the non-probable big hit are considered as “big hit”, the probability of probable big hit (probable 15 round big hit, probable 2 round big hit) is set to be 80% of the total big hit. Yes. In addition, among the second special figures as the 100 types of big hit symbols, the second special figure as the 70 types of big hit symbols is distributed to the symbol a, and the 10 types of big hit symbols are assigned to the symbol b. The second special figure is distributed. In other words, the probability that the probability variation is 15 land big hits is set to be 70% of the overall jackpot, and the probability that the probability variation 2 rounds big hit is set to be 10% of the overall jackpot. On the other hand, among the second special figures as 100 kinds of big hit symbols, the second special figure as 20 kinds of big hit symbols is distributed to the symbol c. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of uncertain variation is set to be 20% of the overall jackpot.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the allocation is made so that the selection ratio of the big hit game given to each symbol variation game is different. Therefore, even when the same “big hit” is won based on the first start hold ball and the second start hold ball, the probability of selecting the 15 round big hit is higher than the big hit lottery based on the second start hold ball. It is higher when the big hit lottery based on the first starting hold ball is won. Even if the big hit lottery is performed based on which start holding ball, if the probability variation 15 round big hit game or the probability variation 2 round big hit game is awarded, the number of times given in the short time state does not change. However, when winning the jackpot lottery based on the first starting hold ball and a non-probable 15 round jackpot game is awarded, a short time state is given with the upper limit being 100 times, while the second starting hold ball is assigned. If the winning jackpot lottery is won and a non-probable 15-round jackpot game is awarded, no short-time state is awarded. Therefore, considering the big hit as a whole, if the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won, the probability that a short time state with a large number of times will be given increases. Further, the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the second symbol variation game is set to be higher than the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the first symbol variation game. In the present embodiment, the big hit game with two rounds becomes the first big hit game, and the big hit game with 15 rounds becomes the second big hit game. In the present embodiment, the round game time of each round that constitutes a big hit game with 15 rounds is increased (for example, 25 (seconds)), while the round of each round that constitutes a big hit game with two rounds. The game time is shortened (for example, 0.6 (seconds)). In each round game, the number of prize balls for one entry to the big prize opening 29 is the same (for example, 15 (balls)). Therefore, as the number of rounds constituting the jackpot game increases, the number of prize balls that can be earned increases. Therefore, “15 rounds” is a privilege that is highly profitable with respect to the number of prize balls obtained, and “2 rounds” Is a benefit with a small profit on the number of winning balls. The large number of rounds that make up the big hit game leads to “profit” in terms of winning the prize ball.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on a control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined order. The main CPU 30a is connected to a ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main CPU 30a and a RAM 30c that can write and call necessary data. The main CPU 30a is connected to an upper start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 25 and a lower start opening sensor SE2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 27. Has been. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 29 and a gate sensor SE4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23. Further, the main CPU 30a includes a first special symbol display H0, a second special symbol display H1, a normal symbol display H10, a first hold indicator R, a second hold indicator L, and a general figure hold indicator M. Is connected. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL1 for operating the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 26 and a large winning port solenoid SOL2 for operating the opening / closing operation of the large winning port door 28. .

  The main CPU 30a sequentially updates the values of various random numbers such as special hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol random numbers, and universal hit determination random numbers every predetermined cycle. Then, the main CPU 30a rewrites the value before update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 30c. The special hit determination random number for special figures is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) to determine whether to win or not, and if the big hit lottery is not won, the small hit lottery to determine whether to win the big hit This is a random number used in (small hit determination). The jackpot symbol random number is a random number used when determining the first special chart to be displayed on the first special figure display H0 in the case of a big hit, and the second special figure display H1 in the case of a big hit. This is a random number used when determining the second special figure to be confirmed and stopped. Moreover, the hit determination random number for a common figure is a random number used in the lottery per common figure (determination per common figure) for determining whether or not to make a hit per common figure. Further, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

  The ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the pachinko machine 10, various determination values (such as a big hit determination value, a small hit determination value, a normal hit determination value), a plurality of types of variation patterns, and the like. The variation pattern is a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light effect, sound effect) from the start of the symbol change game (the first symbol change game or the second symbol change game) to the end of the game. It is shown. In the variation pattern, a game production effect time (variation time) is defined for each variation pattern.

  The variation pattern is either the variation pattern for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when winning the small hit lottery, the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery The variation pattern for the off-line production selected in the case of the off-line that was not won. The fluctuation pattern for outlier production includes a fluctuation pattern with reach (fluctuation pattern for outlier reach production) that will eventually become a deviation after the reach is formed, and a fluctuation pattern without reach that does not form a reach. There is. Further, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern for the jackpot effect includes the variation pattern selected when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are determined, or the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is determined. There are fluctuation patterns to be selected. In this embodiment, the variation pattern selected when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the small hit game are determined is a pattern that executes a common effect in the symbol variation game and is associated with the same variation time. It has become. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the display content of the variable display H2 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game.

  The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the hit determination random numbers for special figures. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable change state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. For example, the possible numerical value of the random number for hit determination for special figure is set to all 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and from that value, the big hit determination value for low probability is set. When two values are set, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the non-probability change state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 2/600 (1/300). In addition, when 20 values are set as the high probability jackpot determination value, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the probability variation state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 20/600 (1/30). Become.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the determination random number for special drawing. In this embodiment, in each symbol variation game, the numerical values that can be taken by the special design random numbers are set to all 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and the first symbol variation game. One value is set as the small hit determination value at. In this case, the rate at which the small hit determination is positively determined in the first symbol variation game, that is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 1/600. In the present embodiment, three values are set as the small hit determination values in the second symbol variation game. In this case, the rate at which the small hit determination is positively determined in the second symbol variation game, that is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 3/600 (1/200). That is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the second symbol variation game is set to be higher than the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the first symbol variation game. The common figure determination value is a determination value used in a lottery per general figure, and is determined from the possible values of random numbers for general use. In addition, the judgment value per base figure is the low probability per base figure used in the lottery per lot when the gaming state is non-temporary and the high per lot used in the lottery when the gaming state is short. There is a judgment value per common figure for probability. For example, the number of possible random numbers for hit determination for common maps is set to a total of 251 integers from “0 (zero)” to “250”, from which the low-probability hit per-map determination When one value is set as the value, the rate at which the determination per common figure is positive in the non-time-short state, that is, the winning probability is 1/251. In addition, when 250 values are set as the high probability common figure determination value, the rate at which the common figure determination is positively determined in the short-time state, that is, the winning probability is 250/251.

  The RAM 30c stores (sets) various types of information (such as various flags, various types of pending storage, timer values, and count values) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, a variation pattern stored in the ROM 30b of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 shows some variation patterns among the plurality of variation patterns stored in the ROM 30b in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment.

  The variation patterns P1 to P3 are variation patterns for off-stage effects, and “13 (seconds)”, “2 (seconds)”, and “3 (seconds)” are associated as variation times, respectively. The variation pattern P1 is mainly selected in the normal state, and the variation patterns P2 and P3 are mainly selected when the probability variation state and the short time state are given.

  Further, the variation patterns P4 to P6 are variation patterns for a loss effect for performing reach variation effects (hereinafter, referred to as “variation patterns for a loss reach effect”). , “50 (seconds)” and “60 (seconds)” are associated with each other. The variation pattern P7 is a variation pattern for a small hit effect, and “65 (seconds)” is associated as the variation time.

  The variation pattern P8 is a variation pattern for a big hit effect, and is a variation pattern that is selected when a probability variation 2 round big hit game is determined. The fluctuation pattern P8 is associated with the same fluctuation time “65 (seconds)” as the fluctuation pattern P7. The variation pattern P9 is a variation pattern for jackpot effect, and is a variation pattern that is selected when a probability variation 15 round jackpot game and a non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are determined. The variation pattern P9 is associated with “70 (seconds)” as the variation time. In the present embodiment, the ROM 30b that stores the variation pattern corresponds to the variation pattern storage unit.

Next, a general fluctuation pattern stored in the ROM 30b of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The usual figure fluctuation pattern F1 is a usual figure fluctuation pattern selected in a non-time-short state (no time-shortening), and “10 (seconds)” is associated as the fluctuation time. Also, the normal variation pattern F2 is a normal variation pattern that is selected when the time is short (there is a short time) and during the variation of the first symbol variation game, and “5 (seconds)” corresponds to the variation time. It is attached. Further, the normal variation pattern F3 is a normal variation pattern that is selected when the time is short (there is a short time) and when the first symbol variation game is not varying, and the variation time is “1 (second)”. Are associated. In the present embodiment, the RAM 30c that stores the general pattern variation pattern that defines the variation content of the general game is the normal symbol variation pattern storage means.

  Therefore, in the variation patterns P1, P4 to P9, a variation time longer than the variation times defined in the normal variation patterns F2 and F3 selected in the time reduction state is set. On the other hand, the fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 are associated with a fluctuation time shorter than the fluctuation time set for the normal chart fluctuation pattern F2 and longer than the fluctuation time set for the common chart fluctuation pattern F3. .

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a that can execute control operations in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 31b that stores a control program for the overall CPU 31a, and a RAM 31c that can write and read necessary data. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The general CPU 31a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which the symbol variation game is started).

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a that can execute a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 32b that stores a control program for the sub CPU 32a, and a RAM 32c that can write and read necessary data. An effect display device 20 (variable display H2) is connected to the sub CPU 32a. Further, the sub CPU 32a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control board 30 (main CPU 30a), the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), and the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) will be described.
First, the control contents of the main control board 30 will be described.

  When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the lower start winning port 27 and inputs a detection signal output by the lower start port sensor SE2 that detects the game ball, the first hold stored in the RAM 30c. A first hold determination is made as to whether or not the stored number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (first hold memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. In addition, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the first hold determination, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the special determination hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the RAM 30c, and sets the value as the first hold storage number. The data are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with each other. When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (first hold memory number = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the first hold memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and for the hit determination for the special figure. Random values and jackpot symbol random numbers are not acquired.

  Further, when the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the upper start winning opening 25 and inputs a detection signal output by the upper start port sensor SE1 that detects the game ball, the main CPU 30a stores the first stored in the RAM 30c. 2 A second hold determination is made as to whether or not the hold storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (second hold memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the second hold memory number (+1) and rewrites the second hold memory number. In addition, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the second hold determination, the main CPU 30a acquires the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure and the value of the random number for the big hit symbol from the RAM 30c, and sets the values as the second hold storage number. The data are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with each other. When the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (second hold memory number = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the second hold memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and for the hit determination for the special figure. Random values and jackpot symbol random numbers are not acquired. In the present embodiment, the RAM 30c that stores the game balls detected by the start winning ports 25 and 27 as the first start hold ball and the second start hold ball corresponds to the hold storage means.

Next, the control contents of the main control board 30 relating to the execution of the symbol variation game will be described.
The main CPU 30a first reads the first reserved memory number under the condition that the symbol variation game can be executed, and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the RAM 30c is larger than “0”. I do. The conditions under which the symbol variation game can be executed are when the big hit game is not being played and the symbol variation game is not being executed.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination is affirmative (first hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a reads the value of the special hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c, and the value and the ROM 30b. Is compared with the jackpot determination value stored in the table, and whether or not the jackpot is determined is determined. In the big hit determination, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a compares the big probability determination value for low probability with the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure, and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state. Is compared with the value of the jackpot determination value for high probability and the value of the random number for hit determination for special figure.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number for the special figure matches the big hit determination value), the main CPU 30a determines the big hit and sets the big hit. Specifically, as a big hit setting, the main CPU 30a makes a big hit symbol (first special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) based on the value of the random symbol for special symbol. To decide. As shown in Fig. 3 (b), the jackpot symbol of the first special figure is assigned to each type of jackpot game, so the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. It will be done. Further, the main CPU 30a having determined the big hit selects and determines a variation pattern for the big hit effect corresponding to the specified big hit game, regardless of whether the game state is the normal state, the probability change state, or the short-time state.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number does not match the big hit determination value), the main CPU 30a stores the special hit determination random number value in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value (small hit determination value for the first symbol variation game) is compared to determine whether or not it is a small hit. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value match), the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting. Specifically, as the small hit setting, the main CPU 30a determines a small hit symbol (first special figure) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (first symbol variation game), and the game state is the normal state and the probability variation state. In both cases, and the short-time state, the variation pattern for the small hit effect is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination as to whether or not to make a loss reach. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach and performs the detachment reach setting. Specifically, as the miss reach setting, the main CPU 30a determines the miss symbol (first special diagram) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (first symbol variation game), and the gaming state is the normal state, the probability variation state, In both cases, the fluctuation pattern for the outlier reach effect is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment and performs the detachment setting. Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol (first special figure) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) as the deviation setting. Further, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the variation pattern for the offending effect (the variation pattern P1 in the present embodiment), while the gaming state is the probability variation state and the short time state. In this case, the variation pattern for the offending effect (one of the variation patterns P2 and P3 in the present embodiment) is selected and determined.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the start hold determination is negative (first hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the second hold memory number, and the second hold memory number stored in the RAM 30c is greater than “0”. Is determined whether or not the value is larger.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is affirmative (second hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a performs a jackpot determination as described above. On the other hand, when the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is negative (second hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a enters the game ball into the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 27. Then, it waits without executing the symbol variation game until the start condition is satisfied. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the big hit and performs the big hit setting so that the big hit symbol (second symbol) displayed in the symbol change game (second symbol change game) is stopped. Determine the special figure. In addition, the main CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for the big hit effect regardless of whether the gaming state is the normal state, the probability variation state, or the short time state.

  Further, when the result of the big hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether the same small hit determination as described above (the value of the random number for special determination hit determination and the small hit determination value (for the second symbol variation game) match). No). When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting, thereby allowing the small hit symbol (second symbol) to be displayed in a definite stop in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game). In addition, the special pattern is determined, and the variation pattern for the small hit effect is selected and determined regardless of whether the gaming state is the normal state, the probability variation state, or the short-time state.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the reach determination as described above. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the outlier reach and performs the outlier reach setting, thereby causing the outlier symbol (second special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game). ). In addition, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the variation pattern for the outreach reach effect regardless of whether the gaming state is the normal state, the probability variation state, or the short time state.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment and performs the detachment setting so that the detachable symbol (second special diagram) to be displayed in a definite stop state in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game). ). Further, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the variation pattern for the offending effect (the variation pattern P1 in the present embodiment), while the gaming state is the probability variation state and the short time state. In this case, the variation pattern for the offending effect (one of the variation patterns P2 and P3 in the present embodiment) is selected and determined. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that executes the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game according to the selected variation pattern corresponds to the game control means.

  In addition, when the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is negative (second hold memory number = 0), the standby that is in a state of waiting for the start of the next symbol change game in which the symbol change game is interrupted The main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration command for starting execution of a demonstration effect (hereinafter referred to as “demonstration effect”) to the overall control board 31. The demonstration effect is an effect for notifying that the pachinko machine 10 is in a standby state by using the effect display device 20, the decorative lamp 16, and the speaker 17 and obtaining a customer effect. It should be noted that the standby state is continued until the end condition is satisfied, assuming that the start condition of the symbol variation game is satisfied during the standby state once the start state occurs.

Next, the control contents of the main control board 30 relating to the execution of the usual game will be described.
When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the operation gate 23 and inputs a detection signal output from the gate sensor SE4 that has detected the game ball, the number of reserved memory in the RAM 30c is stored. A universal hold determination is made as to whether or not it is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the general-purpose hold determination is affirmative (the number of general-purpose hold storage <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the general-purpose hold storage number (+1), and rewrites the general-purpose hold storage number. Further, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the common figure hold determination, the main CPU 30a acquires the value of the random number for hit determination for general use from the RAM 30c, and displays the value of the random number for hit determination for general use as the normal value. The information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of stored memories = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the number of reserved general-purpose reserved memories exceeding the upper limit number, and sets the value of the hit determination random number for the normal figure. Do not get. In the present embodiment, the game balls detected at each start winning opening 25, 27 are stored as the first start hold ball and the second start hold ball, and the game balls detected by the operation gate 23 are detected. The RAM 30c that stores the time as a normal start hold ball corresponds to the hold storage means.

  Further, in the non-short-time state, the main CPU 30a reads the value of a random number for hitting determination for a normal map stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c, and compares the value with the determination value for a normal map hit stored in the ROM 30b. Then, it is determined whether or not it is per common map. In the base hit determination, the main CPU 30a compares the base per hit determination value for the low probability with the value of the base hit determination random number when the gaming state is the non-time saving state.

  When the determination result of the common map determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for universal determination and the determination value of the common map match), the main CPU 30a determines the general map and stops the fixed game in the general game. Decide the symbol per map to be displayed. On the other hand, if the determination result of the normal figure hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination for the common figure and the decision value for the normal figure does not match), the main CPU 30a determines the deviation from the normal figure and plays the normal figure game. Decide the usual pattern to be confirmed and stopped.

  Then, the main CPU 30a selects one common figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of common figure fluctuation patterns according to the gaming state, starts the fluctuation of the normal figure according to the normal figure fluctuation pattern, and sets a predetermined fluctuation. The usual figure (design per ordinary figure or the symbol outside the usual figure) determined at the elapse of time is displayed in a fixed stop state. Specifically, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the normal fluctuation pattern F1 associated with “10 (seconds)” as the fluctuation time in the non-short-time state.

In addition, the main CPU 30a executes the general-purpose process shown in FIG. 7 in the time saving state.
In the normal drawing process in the time-short state, the main CPU 30a determines the normal drawing as described above (step S10). In the normal hit determination, the main CPU 30a compares the high probability common hit determination value with the common hit determination random number when the gaming state is the short time state.

  When the judgment result of the common figure judgment is affirmative (the value of the random number for common figure judgment and the judgment value per common figure match), the main CPU 30a decides the common figure and decides the figure per common figure. (Step S11). On the other hand, if the determination result of the universal symbol determination is negative (the random number value for universal symbol determination and the universal symbol determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a determines the disparity and determines the disregard symbol. (Step S12).

  The main CPU 30a, which has decided the usual figure to be confirmed and stopped in the usual figure game, next determines whether or not the first symbol is fluctuating (whether or not the first symbol fluctuating game is fluctuating) (step S13). It should be noted that in the present embodiment, during the “change in the first symbol”, there is a first start holding ball, and it is between the first symbol variation game executed first and the first symbol variation game executed next. This predetermined interval time is also included. Further, the first symbol variation game is executed regardless of whether or not the first symbol change game is executed in a situation where there is no first start reservation ball or whether or not there is a first start retention ball. Cases are also included. On the other hand, in “not in the first symbol variation”, there is a second start holding ball, and a predetermined interval between the second symbol variation game executed first and the second symbol variation game executed next. Interval time is also included. In addition, the second symbol variation game is executed when the second symbol variation game is being executed in a situation where there is no second starting retention ball, or regardless of the presence or absence of the second starting retention ball. Cases are also included. Also included is a case where neither the first or second symbol variation game is being executed and no first or second starting hold ball is stored (standby state).

  Returning to step S13, if the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (during the first symbol variation), the main CPU 30a selects and decides the normal diagram variation pattern F2 associated with “5 (seconds)” as the variation time. (Step S14). On the other hand, if the determination result in step S13 is negative (not changing the first symbol), the main CPU 30a selects and determines the normal pattern fluctuation pattern F3 associated with "1 (second)" as the fluctuation time. (Step S15).

  The main CPU 30a, which has determined the general map to be confirmed and stopped in the general game, and the general pattern variation pattern, starts the variation of the general diagram with the start of the general map game, and the variation defined in the selected general map variation pattern. The general map determined at the elapse of time is displayed in a fixed stop state, and the general map processing is terminated.

  Therefore, the fluctuation time of the usual game executed in the short-time state is shortened than the fluctuation time of the usual game executed in the non-time-short state. Furthermore, the fluctuation time of the normal game that is executed when the first symbol variation game is not changing in the time-short state is shorter than the variation time of the normal game that is executed during the variation of the first symbol variation game. Is done. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a serves as a winning lottery means for performing a lottery per base drawing, in which a lottery is determined based on whether or not a game ball enters the operating gate 23. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a normal symbol control means for performing a lottery per ordinary figure on the basis of the ordinary figure starting and holding ball and executing a usual figure game based on the lottery result. Further, the normal variation pattern F2 becomes the first normal symbol variation pattern, and the variation time “5 (seconds)” defined in the general variation pattern F2 becomes the first variation time. Then, the normal variation pattern F3 becomes the second normal symbol variation pattern, and the variation time “1 (second)” defined in the general variation pattern F3 becomes the second variation time.

Next, as the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a, the control contents during the big hit game and the small hit game will be described.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game and the small hit game, and outputs a round command at the start of each round game. At that time, the main CPU 30a opens and closes the grand prize winning door 28 for each round game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command at the end of each round game. The opening command instructs the start of the opening, the round command instructs the start of the round game, and the ending command instructs the start of the ending.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has finished the big hit game and the small hit game, when the number of reserved memory at the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is "1" or more, based on the start hold ball, the next symbol variation Start the game. Specifically, when the first reserved memory number is “1” or more, the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed based on the first starting reserved ball, while the first reserved memory number is “0”. In this case, the second symbol variation game is started based on the second start holding ball. Then, when the number of reserved memories at the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is “0”, the main CPU 30a changes the symbol until the start winning condition is satisfied. Wait without running the game.

  Further, the main CPU 30a that ended each jackpot game gives a probability change state when the determination result is affirmative based on the determination result of the state transition determination as to whether or not to give a probability change state after the jackpot game ends, When the determination result is negative, the probability variation state is not given. In this embodiment, when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are won, the state transition determination is affirmed. After the big hit game, the main CPU 30a outputs a high-probability designation command and a short-time operation command when the game state is changed to a certain change state and a short-time state, and outputs only a short-time operation command when the short-time state is set. To do. On the other hand, in the case of the small hit game, the game state at the time of the small hit game is maintained, so the main CPU 30a controls the game state at the time of the small hit game even during the small hit game, and after the small hit game ends, the game Does not output commands that specify status. That is, when the main CPU 30a wins the small hit game, the main CPU 30a does not perform the state transition determination as to whether or not to give the probability variation state. In the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, the main CPU 30a that grants a bonus including the big hit game after the end of each symbol variation game corresponds to the bonus granting means.

Next, the control content at the time of hitting will be described as the control content executed by the main CPU 30a.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the opening and closing blades 26 and a closing signal for closing the opening and closing blades 26 after the end of the normal game for the normal drawing, and controls the opening mode of the opening and closing blades 26. . The opening signal and the closing signal are output to the ordinary electric actor solenoid SOL1 of the opening / closing blade 26, the ordinary electric actor solenoid SOL1 is activated by the opening signal, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, and the closing operation is performed. In response to the signal, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 is activated, and the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. And main CPU30a controls the open mode of the opening-and-closing blade 26 according to the game state at the time of hitting a usual figure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the main CPU 30a performs control so that the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once at 0.3 (seconds) in the non-time-short state. Further, the main CPU 30a controls to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 three times in 1.4 (seconds) during the time-short state.

  Further, the main CPU 30a counts the number of game balls that have entered the lower start winning opening 27 while the opening / closing blade 26 is opened. When the counted number of game balls reaches the upper limit number (8 in this embodiment), the main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal at that time to close the opening / closing blade 26, The opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the hit is finished. The main CPU 30a that has finished the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the usual figure, when the number of the usual figure holding memory at the time of the end is “1” or more, based on the start holding ball, the main figure 30 Let it begin. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a plays the general game until the game ball enters the operation gate 23 and the start condition is satisfied, when the number of the general figure holding memory at the end of the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 is “0”. Wait without running. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blades 26 based on the display result of the general game, and a universal map result indicating that the lottery per general map is won in the general game is derived. In this case, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened.

Next, the control contents executed by the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a) according to the overall control program will be described.
When the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the change pattern designation command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol, the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. To decide. Specifically, when a stop symbol designation command for the first special symbol is input, a symbol combination is displayed that is displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the first special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. Decide which decoration to do. In addition, when a stop symbol designation command for the second special symbol is input, a decorative diagram constituting a symbol combination to be displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the second special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. To decide. In addition, when a special symbol stop symbol designation command is input, if the big bonus symbol is designated as the special symbol stop symbol designation, the general CPU 31a stores the designated special symbol big bonus symbol in the RAM 31c. To do. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs an opening command, a round command, and an ending command from the main control board 30, display control is performed for an effect instruction command for instructing a predetermined effect content according to the big hit game and the small hit game that are given. Output to the board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively.

  When the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the probability variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decorative symbol. To do. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a can recognize the non-probable variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decoration diagram. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation two-round jackpot game, the general CPU 31a uses a symbol combination that can recognize a loss as a symbol symbol combination. Among them, a predetermined specific symbol combination (chance) is determined. A specific symbol combination consists of a combination of symbols that do not form a reach. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a small hit symbol, the general CPU 31a performs a specific symbol combination (chance) in the same manner as in the probability variation two round big hit game. Eye). In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol excluding the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the deviation. In the case of an outlier design, when determining a symbol combination that can recognize a discrepancy, the combination may be determined excluding the specific symbol combination, or the combination including the specific symbol combination is determined. May be. Then, the overall CPU 31a that has determined the decoration drawing outputs a stop symbol designating command for decoration drawing designating the decoration drawing to the display control board 32. When the general CPU 31a inputs a demo command, the general CPU 31a starts a standby state and starts control of a demonstration effect. The general CPU 31a that has started the standby state outputs a command for instructing execution of the demonstration effect to the display control board 32 to instruct execution of the demonstration effect.

Next, the control contents executed by the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) according to the effect control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the variation pattern designation command, the variable display H2 is selected so that the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is selected and the symbol variation game is executed with the effect content. Controls the display content of. At this time, the sub CPU 32a generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data in the ROM 32b based on the selected effect content.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the measured time and display data for a predetermined control cycle. Switch every time (for example, every 2 ms). Then, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display content of the variable display H2 is displayed on the variable display H2 so that the symbol designated by the decorative symbol stop symbol designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. To end the symbol variation game.

  In addition, the sub CPU 32a performs the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability change 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability change 15 round jackpot game are given. Let it run. Specifically, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that each effect is executed with a predetermined effect content when an effect instruction command related to each effect is input. At this time, the sub CPU 32a uses the image data in the ROM 32b to generate display data for displaying an image according to the contents of each effect. Then, the sub CPU 32a switches the image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the generated display data every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 2 ms).

  The sub CPU 32a causes the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect to be executed based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game are given. At this time, the sub CPU 32a causes the effect to be executed with the same effect content so that it is not known from the effect content whether the probability variation 2-round big hit game or the small hit game is given. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment cannot recognize which is given from the effect contents during the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game in addition to the opening mode of the big winning opening 29. It is like that. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a command instructing execution of the demonstration effect, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the display image for the demonstration effect.

  Next, the execution mode of each symbol variation game and the usual game in the time-short state will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). In FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, for example, “first hold = 1” indicates that the number of the first reserved memory number, that is, the number of the first symbol variation game being held is one. . Further, “second hold” indicates the second reserved memory number, that is, the second symbol variation game being held. “Temporary map hold” indicates the number of stored general map hold, that is, a pending general game.

  In FIG. 8A, each symbol in the case where the memory number of the first start hold ball is “0”, the memory number of the second start hold ball is “2”, and the memory number of the general start hold ball is “1”. The execution mode of a variable game and a usual game is shown.

  The main CPU 30a determines the presence or absence of the first start holding ball in order to preferentially execute the first symbol variation game as compared to the second symbol variation game. In this example, since the number of stored first start hold balls is “0”, the main CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery based on the second start hold balls and selects a variation pattern corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery. Then, the first second symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the second start holding balls at the start of the second symbol variation game to be “1”. Further, the main CPU 30a performs a lottery per universal map based on the general map start and hold ball. When the result of the lottery per base symbol is a win, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first symbol variation game is in the process of variation when selecting the usual pattern variation pattern based on the result of the lottery per ordinary symbol. In this example, since the second symbol variation game is fluctuating and the first symbol variation game is not fluctuating, the main CPU 30a sets the variation time as “1 (seconds)” as the ordinary variation pattern. The figure variation pattern F3 is selected and determined to execute the usual game. In addition, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the general-purpose start ball at the start of the normal game, and sets it to “0”. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the usual game when the fluctuation time set in the usual figure fluctuation pattern F3 has elapsed, and opens the opening / closing blade 26 a plurality of times (in this embodiment, three times) as a game per ordinary figure. . Also, as shown in this example, when a game ball is detected at the lower start winning opening 27 in the third opening of the opening / closing blade 26, the main CPU 30a, after the end of the second symbol variation game being executed, A big hit lottery is performed immediately before the start of the first symbol variation game based on the first start holding ball detected to be entered. Then, the main CPU 30a causes the first symbol variation game to be executed according to the variation pattern corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery.

  Also, as shown in this example, when a game ball is detected by the operation gate 23, the main CPU 30a performs a lottery per base map based on the base start start ball detected. In the case where the lottery per regular symbol is won, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first symbol variation game is fluctuating when selecting the regular symbol variation pattern based on the result of the lottery per ordinary symbol. In this example, since the first symbol fluctuation game is changing, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the normal pattern fluctuation pattern F2 in which the fluctuation time is set to “5 (seconds)” as the normal fluctuation pattern. Run the usual game. In addition, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the general-purpose start ball at the start of the normal game, and sets it to “0”. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the usual game when the fluctuation time set in the usual figure fluctuation pattern F2 has elapsed, and opens the opening / closing blade 26 a plurality of times as a game per ordinary figure. As shown in this example, if the game ball does not enter the lower start winning opening 27 while the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, the main CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery based on the second start hold ball, and the result of the big win lottery A corresponding variation pattern is selected, and the second second symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the second start holding balls at the start of the second symbol variation game to be “0”.

  Thus, even if the first start hold ball is not stored and the second start hold ball is stored, the main CPU 30a, if the game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27, As a result, before the second symbol variation game is executed based on the second start holding ball, the first symbol variation game is executed based on the game ball that has entered. In addition, when selecting the normal variation pattern, the main CPU 30a selects the general variation pattern F3 having a short variation time as the normal variation pattern unless the first symbol variation game is changing. In this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the opening / closing blade 26 is opened when the normal game is quickly ended during the fluctuation of the second symbol variation game in the short-time state, and the lower start prize is received. If a game ball enters the mouth 27, the first symbol variation game will be executed after the execution of the second symbol variation game being executed.

  In FIG. 8B, each symbol in the case where the stored number of the first start hold ball is “1”, the second start hold ball is “0”, and the normal start hold ball is “2”. The execution mode of a variable game and a usual game is shown.

  The main CPU 30a first determines the presence / absence of the first start holding ball in order to preferentially execute the first symbol variation game as compared with the second symbol variation game. In this example, since the number of stored first start hold balls is “1”, the main CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery based on the first start hold balls and selects a variation pattern corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery. Then, the first symbol variation game based on the variation pattern is executed. The main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the first start holding balls at the start of the first symbol variation game, and sets it to “0”. In this example, since neither of the first and second start holding balls is stored at this time, the main CPU 30a shifts to the standby state after the first symbol variation game is over. In FIG. 8B, the transition to the standby state is indicated as “Demo start”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a performs a first lottery drawing based on the usual drawing start holding ball. When the lottery per common symbol is won, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first symbol variation game is fluctuating when selecting a variation variation pattern based on the result of the lottery per common symbol. In this example, since the first symbol fluctuation game is changing, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the normal pattern fluctuation pattern F2 in which the fluctuation time is set to “5 (seconds)” as the normal fluctuation pattern. Run the usual game. At this time, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the general-purpose start holding ball at the start of the general-purpose game, and sets it to “1”. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the usual game when the fluctuation time set in the usual figure fluctuation pattern F2 has elapsed, and opens the opening / closing blade 26 a plurality of times as a game per ordinary figure. In addition, the main CPU 30a performs a second lottery per lottery based on the usual diagram start holding ball. When the result of the lottery per symbol is a win, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first symbol variation game is fluctuating when selecting the symbol variation pattern based on the result of the lottery per symbol. In this example, since the first symbol variation game is not in a variation state and is in a standby state, the main CPU 30a uses the usual pattern variation pattern F3 in which the variation time is set to “1 (second)” as the ordinary variation pattern. Select, confirm, and run the usual game. In addition, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the general-purpose start ball at the start of the normal game, and sets it to “0”. Then, the main CPU 30a terminates the normal map change when the fluctuation time set in the normal map change pattern F3 has elapsed, and opens the open / close blade 26 a plurality of times as a game per general map. Further, as shown in this example, when a game ball is detected at the lower start winning opening 27 in the second opening of the opening / closing blade 26, the main CPU 30a sets the detected first start holding ball to the detected start ball. Based on this, a big hit lottery is performed immediately before the start of the first symbol variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern according to the result of the big hit lottery, and causes the first symbol variation game to be executed according to the variation pattern.

  As described above, when the first game and the second starting change ball are not stored and the normal game is executed when the first and second symbol variation games are not executed, As the variation pattern, the normal variation pattern F3 having a short variation time is selected. When the base game is executed based on the base map variation pattern F3, the base map variation is completed in a short time. Therefore, if the open / close blade 26 is opened and a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27, First, the starting condition for the first symbol variation game is easily established.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the first symbol variation game is fluctuating in the short time state, the main CPU 30a selects the normal symbol variation pattern F2 having a variation time of 5 seconds, while the first symbol variation game is fluctuating. If not, the general fluctuation pattern F3 with a fluctuation time of 1 second is selected. As a result, the base game is completed in a short time according to the base pattern variation pattern. Therefore, by securing the game ball to enter the lower start winning opening 27, when the second symbol variation game being executed ends. The first symbol variation game can be executed immediately. Therefore, it is possible to increase the occurrence of the big hit based on the first start holding ball that can give a privilege with a large profit, and to grant a privilege with a smaller profit than when winning the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball The occurrence of big hits based on the obtained second starting holding ball can be reduced. In addition, when the main CPU 30a executes the general game when the first and second symbol variation games are not changing in the short-time state and no first and second start holding balls are stored, The usual map variation pattern F3 is selected. As a result, even in the standby state, the normal game is completed in a short time according to the normal pattern variation pattern F3, so that the start condition of the first symbol variation game can be given quickly. Further, the main CPU 30a selects the normal pattern variation pattern F2 when the normal game is executed when the first start holding ball is stored in the short time state and when the first symbol variation game is changing. Since the fluctuation time longer than the fluctuation time set in the normal figure fluctuation pattern F3 is set in the normal figure fluctuation pattern F2, more than the upper limit number of normal figure start hold balls during the fluctuation of the first symbol fluctuation game Is less wasted.

  (2) As a privilege given by the main CPU 30a, a jackpot game with two rounds and a jackpot game with 15 rounds constituting the jackpot game are set. And, when winning the big hit lottery based on the first starting holding ball, there is a higher probability that a big hit game with 15 rounds will be awarded, and the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed. In the configuration, the normal pattern variation pattern F3 is selected when the first symbol variation game is not varying. Since the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed in the probabilistic state and the short time state, the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won and a big hit game with 15 rounds is awarded. If so, many prize balls can be obtained.

  (3) When winning the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball, while setting the probability of being given a short time when the upper limit number is set high, the big hit lottery based on the second starting hold ball was won In this case, the probability that the short state is given when the upper limit number is set large is set low. By adopting a configuration in which the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed during the probable change state and the short time state, the winning probability of the big hit lottery in which the short time state having a large upper limit number of times is given is increased. In addition, since the frequency | count which receives the big hit lottery based on a start holding ball | bowl can be increased, suppressing the reduction | decrease of a holding ball, so that there are many upper limit frequency | counts of a time-short state, the interest of a player can be improved.

  (4) The winning probability of the small hitting lottery based on the first starting holding ball is set to be lower than the winning probability of the small hitting lottery based on the second starting holding ball. As a result, it is possible to prevent the digestion efficiency of the first symbol variation game per unit time from being reduced by winning the small hitting lottery.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the embodiment, the normal variation pattern is not limited to the normal variation patterns F1 to F3, and may be set more than that. However, the fluctuation time specified in the normal figure fluctuation pattern selected when the time-short state is not changing and the first symbol variation game is not changing is the normal state, the time-short state, and the first symbol variation. It is premised on that the time is shorter than the fluctuation time set in the usual figure fluctuation pattern selected when the game is changing.

  ○ In the embodiment, the upper limit number of short-time states as a privilege given when winning the big hit lottery is not limited to 100 times and 0 times, and even if the upper limit number is changed as appropriate, such as 100 times and 50 times good.

In the embodiment, the number of rounds constituting the jackpot game is not limited to 15 times and 2 times, and the number of rounds may be changed as appropriate, such as 15 times and 10 times.
In the embodiment, the selection probability of each big hit game may be changed as appropriate.

In the embodiment, a variable display dedicated to each symbol variation game may be provided.
In the embodiment, the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, and the ordinary reserved memory number are all stored in the RAM 30c. However, the RAMs may be individually associated with each other.

  In the embodiment, the upper start winning port 25 and the lower start winning port 27 may not be arranged in parallel in the flow-down direction, and may be arranged apart from each other. In this case, it is desirable to make it difficult to enter the ball in the normal state by placing nails around the start winning opening where the winning probability of the big hit lottery that gives an advantageous privilege is high.

  In the embodiment, the hit determination random number for the special figure is determined as the hit determination random number for the first special figure and the hit determination random number for the second special figure. A random number for use may be associated.

  ○ In the embodiment, the benefits given when winning the big hit lottery are the maximum number of short-time states, the number of award balls, the length of the round game time, the probability variation state grant, and the low probability of winning the small hit lottery It is good as well. Moreover, the number of rounds of the big hit game given when winning the big hit lottery based on the first and second starting reserved balls may be the same, and any of the above-mentioned benefits may be given. Moreover, the aspect which a some privilege is provided combining these privileges may be sufficient.

  In the embodiment, a large winning opening may be provided for each starting winning opening, and the number of winning balls and the number of counts given to each large winning opening may be different. In this case, regarding the rounds constituting each jackpot game associated with each start winning opening, it is premised that different large winning openings are not used for the same number of rounds. For example, in the jackpot game corresponding to the upper start winning opening 25, the first big winning opening is opened in the first to seventh rounds, and the second big winning opening is opened in the eighth to fifteenth rounds. On the other hand, in the jackpot game corresponding to the lower start winning opening 27, the 2nd big winning opening is opened in the 1st to 7th rounds, and the 1st big winning opening is opened in the 8th to 15th rounds. Not performed.

In the embodiment, the lower start winning opening 27 may be configured to allow a game ball to enter even in a normal state.
In the embodiment, the main CPU 30a refers to the first reserved storage number when selecting the usual figure variation pattern. If the number is less than “4”, the main figure variation pattern in which the variation time is set short. On the other hand, if F3 is selected and the stored number is “4”, the normal variation pattern F2 may be selected. In this way, when the first reserved memory number is less than “4”, it is possible to quickly store up to the upper limit number of ordinary start-up balls, and the first reserved ball memory number is “4”. In this case, it is possible to prevent the usual-use starting holding ball from being wasted.

In the embodiment, the normal pattern variation pattern F3 may be selected even during the variation of the first symbol variation game.
In the embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first symbol variation game is changing, and selects and determines the common symbol variation pattern according to the variation result of the first symbol variation game. The second symbol variation determination may be performed without performing the first symbol variation determination, and the normal symbol variation pattern may be selected according to the result. Specifically, the main CPU 30a is caused to perform the second symbol variation determination instead of the first symbol variation determination in step S13 shown in FIG. 7, and when the second symbol variation game is varying, The figure variation pattern F3 is selected. By doing so, the normal pattern variation pattern F2 is selected during the variation of the first symbol variation game, and more than the upper limit number of the regular symbol start holding balls are exhausted during the variation of the first symbol variation game. It will not be done.

  In the embodiment, when the determination result of the first symbol variation determination is negative, the second symbol variation determination is further performed, and the normal symbol variation pattern F3 is selected when the second symbol variation game is varying. During the standby state, the usual figure variation pattern F3 may be selected.
