Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which, when a winning display result is displayed in a symbol variation game, a winning game is given, and a winning means that allows a game ball to enter during the corresponding game is opened.

  Conventionally, some pachinko machines that are a type of gaming machine have a probability variation function that shifts the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery to the high probability lottery state after the big hit game that opens the big prize opening. . If the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state), it is easy to win a big hit in the big hit lottery, which is advantageous to the player. Usually, if a player wins a big hit in the big hit lottery and obtains the big hit game, the player wants to be given a high probability lottery state as the gaming state after the big hit game ends. For this reason, when it turns out that it will not be in a high-probability lottery state after the jackpot game ends, but may be in a low-probability lottery state, there is a possibility that the player's interest will be reduced. Therefore, by making it difficult for the player to recognize whether the high-probability lottery state is given or the low-probability lottery state is given, it is possible to guess whether the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state. There was something that improved interest (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, the lottery probability state after the end of the jackpot game is changed to a high probability lottery state, and the jackpot is opened twice during the display effect during the jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as “probability 2”). "Round jackpot game"). Further, in Patent Document 1, a display effect that is the same mode is developed as if it is during a probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, and the winning opening is opened in the same manner as that of a probable 2-round jackpot game during the display effect. It is provided with “small hit 1” (hereinafter referred to as “small hit game”) that is (opened twice). And after the end of the small hit game, the lottery probability state at the time of winning is maintained.

  For this reason, in Patent Document 1, when the winning prize opening is opened twice during the display effect that is executed in response to the winning of the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the bonus game, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the bonus game are played. It is difficult for the player to recognize which winning of the game is being triggered. In this way, when the big winning opening is opened twice, if the lottery probability state is the low probability lottery state, when the probability variation 2 round big hit game is internally triggered, the lottery probability state becomes the high probability lottery state, In particular, when a small hit game is triggered, the lottery probability state at the time of winning is maintained and the lottery state is in a low probability lottery state. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the game is a probability-changing two-round big hit game or a small hit game, and thus it is difficult to recognize whether the lottery probability state is in the high probability lottery state after the big winning opening is opened. ing.

JP 2006-1116016 A

  In recent years, in addition to the configuration of the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the jackpot game of Patent Document 1, the lottery probability state after the end of the jackpot game is changed to the low probability lottery state and the display effect during the jackpot game is large. There is also a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a jackpot game that opens the winning opening twice (hereinafter, referred to as “non-probability two-round jackpot game”). In the non-probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the display effect during the jackpot game and the opening mode of the big prize opening are the same. When the big winning opening is opened twice, the lottery probability state is in the low-probability lottery state when the internally probable two round big hit game is triggered. In addition, since it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the game is a big hit game or a small hit game for each two rounds, it becomes difficult to recognize whether the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state after the big winning opening is opened. ing.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine, when the big winning opening is opened twice, there is a possibility of either a two-round big hit game or a small hit game. And there are some players who want to enjoy such a situation (gameability) where there is a possibility of both big hit games and small hit games for each two rounds. Some players want to enjoy guessing which game is won (game). However, because it is difficult to recognize whether the game is a big hit game or a small hit game in the first place, it is difficult to recognize whether it is a big hit game or a small hit game each time. I couldn't guess the individual winning games from the opening of the big prize opening. Therefore, simply making it difficult to recognize the type of game as in the case of the pachinko gaming machine can satisfy the player's desire as the former, but cannot satisfy the player's desire as the latter. Was less interesting.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to construct a configuration that makes it difficult to determine the type of winning game and a configuration that can estimate the type of winning game. By providing each, it is providing the game machine which can satisfy a player's hope and can improve the interest of a game.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is directed to display means for performing a symbol variation game for displaying a plurality of types of symbols in a variable manner, and whether or not to trigger the establishment of a start condition. A winning lottery means for executing a winning lottery for lottery, and a lottery probability state control means for controlling a gaming state comprising a lottery probability state of the winning lottery in either a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state, In the case of winning in the lottery, a winning game is given after the winning display result is derived, and in a gaming machine in which a winning means that allows a game ball to enter during the corresponding game is released, The first high probability winning game and the second high probability winning game in which the lottery probability state after completion of the winning game is the high probability lottery state, and the lottery probability state after the winning game is reduced to the low probability state. Low probability play with probability lottery status And a special winning game that can change the lottery probability state after the winning game to the low-probability lottery state, the first high-probability winning game, the second high-probable winning game, and the low-probable winning game, In the special hit game, the hit game time from the start to the end of these hit games is set to be the same, and when winning the win lottery, the type of hit is determined, and the probability of winning the win lottery and The relationship of the appearance rate of each hit game calculated from the respective probabilities for determining the type of each hit is the first high probability hit among the appearance rates obtained by adding the first high probability hit game and the special hit game. Each ratio determined so that the ratio of the appearance rate of the second high-accuracy game is different from the ratio of the appearance rate of the game and the appearance ratio of the second high-accuracy game and the low-accuracy game Hits that determine the type of each hit with probability Control the opening and closing of the winning means performed in the determination means and the winning game, and control so that the opening mode of the winning means is the same in the first highly accurate winning game and the special winning game In the second high-probability game and the low-probability game, the opening mode of the winning means is the same, and the first high-probability game and the special hit game are different from the release mode. And an opening control means for controlling so that the effect execution means executes an effect during the hit game from the start to the end of the hit game, and the first high hit game and the second high hit hit. Effect execution control means for developing an effect during hit game having the same content in the hit game during the same hit game time determined in the same game, the low probability hit game and the special hit game, and the hit type determination Means A hit notification control for causing the hit notification means to execute notification whether the winning game given based on the type of winning is the special winning game, and to perform notification in accordance with the start of the winning game And a means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the hit notification control means is configured to provide the hit given during a period from the start of the hit game until the hit game time elapses. The gist is to perform control so as to continuously notify whether or not the game is the special hit game.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, the release control means includes an opening mode of the winning means in the first high-accuracy winning game and the special winning game. The gist is to control the opening mode of the winning means in the second high-winning game and the low-winning game to be the same opening mode from the start to the middle of each winning game.

  According to the present invention, by providing a configuration that makes it difficult to determine the type of winning game and a configuration that can estimate the type of winning game, it is possible to satisfy the player's desire and improve the interest of the game.

As shown in FIG. 1, on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outer shell of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is assembled in an open and detachable manner. In addition, a front frame 13 is assembled to the front side of the middle frame 12 so as to be openable and detachable. As shown in FIG. 1, the front frame 13 is assembled so as to overlap the middle frame 12 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front side. The front frame 13 has a window 13a in the center, and an upper plate (storage plate) 14 as a first storage dish that can store game balls serving as game media of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is integrated below the window 13a. It is a molded configuration. On the back side of the front frame 13, a glass support frame (not shown) that protects the game board YB disposed inside the machine and supports glass having a size covering the window 13 a is assembled so as to be detachable and tiltable. The game board YB is mounted on the middle frame 12. The front frame 13 is provided with an upper lamp portion 15a, a left lamp portion 15b, and a right lamp portion 15c that constitute an electric decoration display portion that performs a light emission effect. The front frame 13 is provided with a left speaker 16a and a right speaker 16b, which output various sounds and perform sound effects, on the upper left and right sides of the window 13a.

  A lower tray (storage tray) 17 serving as a second storage tray for storing game balls overflowing from the upper tray 14 is mounted on the front side of the middle frame 12 and at the lower portion of the front frame 13. Further, on the front side of the middle frame 12 and to the right of the lower plate 17, a launch handle 18 for launching a game ball that is turned by the player when the game ball is launched on the game board YB is mounted. ing.

Next, the configuration of the game board YB will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
On the front surface of the game board YB, there is formed a substantially circular game area H1 that guides a game ball that is launched by operating the launch handle 18 and that is the main body of a pachinko game. Then, various display devices and a display frame body (center accessory) 20 with various decorations are mounted almost at the center (center) of the game area H1 of the game board YB. The display frame 20 is formed with an opening 20a for setting (wearing) the display means having the liquid crystal display type image display unit GH and the effect display device 21 as the effect execution means. The effect display device 21 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a 7-segment special symbol display device 22 is provided at the lower right of the display frame 20 (effect display device 21) in the game board YB. In the special symbol display device 22, a symbol variation game is displayed in which a plurality of types of special symbols are varied and displayed. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery and small hit lottery) of whether or not to win.

  In the special symbol display device 22, the variation display of the special symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game. In the special symbol display device 22, the special symbol is displayed in a fixed stop simultaneously with the end of the symbol variation game. In addition, the effect display device 21 starts displaying the decorative symbols at the same time when the symbol variation game is started, and temporarily stops the decorative symbols before the game ends. Then, on the effect display device 21, the decorative symbols in each column are confirmed and stopped at the same time as the end of the symbol variation game. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of symbol displayed in the display area defined in the display device for displaying the symbol is changing, while “pause display” is the symbol in the display area. Is a state that is displayed in a fluctuation state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. The special symbol display device 22 and the effect display device 21 simultaneously start the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game, and end simultaneously (that is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and stopped at the same time. ).

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 has a lottery result (big hit, small hit or off) from a lot of types (six types in the present embodiment) of special symbols (big hit lottery or small hit lottery). ) Is selected, and the selected special symbol is confirmed and stopped when the symbol variation game ends. The 6 types of special symbols are 4 types of big hit symbols (big hit display result (hit display result)) that can recognize big hits, and one type of small hit symbol (small hits) that can recognize small hits. Display results (hit display results)) and one type of outlier symbol that becomes a symbol (outlier display result) from which the discrepancy can be recognized. When a big win is won in the big win lottery, the big hit symbol is displayed in a symbol variation game, and then the big hit game (win game) is given to the player. In addition, when a small winning lottery is won in the small hitting lottery, the small hitting symbol (winning game) is given to the player after the small hitting symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. Note that the big hit game and the small hit game of the present embodiment will be described in detail later.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device 21 is formed much larger than the display area of the special symbol display device 22, and The display device 21 is arranged so as to stand out in front of the player. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the effect display device 21 in which the display effect is performed with various images in front of his / her eyes rather than the special symbol display device 22, and in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21. The winning combination (big hit or small hit) or off is recognized from the symbol combination that is derived and displayed in a fixed stop state.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 and the special symbol display device 22 are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The player's line of sight (eye direction) will be different. For this reason, when the player pays attention to the effect display device 21 and is looking toward the effect display device 21 (facing the front), the player is not looking toward the special symbol display device 22 (lower right). And the effect display device 21 and the special symbol display device 22 cannot be viewed at the same time. That is, the player can visually recognize the special symbol display device 22 when he or she consciously turns his line of sight facing the front toward the lower right.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 has seven types of numbers, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7] for each column. It is displayed as a decorative pattern. When the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 21 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns displayed on the effect display device 21 are confirmed and stopped, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. Further, in the effect display device 21 of the present embodiment, the code that can recognize that the big hit or the small win is won by combining the same number symbols displayed in the left and right two rows in the middle row among the three rows. The symbol ([☆ (star)]) is displayed as a decorative symbol. There is a possibility that a symbol combination consisting of a symbol design that can recognize that either the big win or the small win has been won will be given a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the lottery probability state of the big lottery lotion becomes a high probability lottery state. It becomes a symbol combination of the suggestive change suggestion. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given in the case of a symbol combination in which the symbols in all the columns are the same symbol, while in the case of the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation, there is a case where the probability variation state is imparted or there is an uncertain variation. There are scenes in which a state is given, and there are also scenes in which either a probability change state or a non-probability change state is given as a gaming state is continued.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 21, when the symbol variation game is started, the ornament symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 21. The decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are once stopped and displayed are the same symbol, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, the decorative symbols of the specific columns (left column and right column in the present embodiment) among the plurality of columns are temporarily displayed as the same symbols, and columns other than the specific column (in the present embodiment, the middle column) ) Is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol.

  The effect display device 21 is configured to display a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 22. The special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 22 corresponds to the symbol combination by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 21, and when the symbol variation game ends, the special symbol and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol correspond. The fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 22, as a rule, the big hit symbol combination such as [222] or [444] is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 21. ing. In the present embodiment, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 22, the symbol combination (for example, [1 * 1]) that suggests the probability change may be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 21. is there. In addition, when the special symbol display device 22 displays the deferred symbols in a fixed stop display, the effect display device 21 also displays the deferred symbol combinations such as [121] and [345] in a fixed stop display. . In addition, when the small symbol design is displayed on the special symbol display device 22 in a fixed stop state, the effect display suggestion symbol combination (for example, [1 * 1]) is also displayed on the final stop display. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and a symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from among symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. Yes. As described above, in the effect display device 21 of the present embodiment, a display effect related to a symbol variation game (a symbol variation game in which symbols in three columns are variably displayed to display a combination of symbols) is performed. .

  Further, in the game board YB, a 7-segment type normal symbol display device 23 is disposed near the special symbol display device 22 in the lower right of the display frame 20 (effect display device 21). In the normal symbol display device 23, a normal symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of normal symbols are varied to derive one normal symbol. In the normal symbol display device 23, whether or not the winning symbol is determined separately from the winning lottery (big winning lottery or small winning lottery) (whether or not the lower start winning opening 25 is opened by opening and closing blades 26 opening operation) The lottery result of the internal lottery (lottery per map) is displayed. Then, in the normal symbol display device 23 of the present embodiment, when the per symbol is determined by lottery per base symbol, the symbol for the normal symbol consisting of the normal symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal symbol variation game. . On the other hand, in the normal symbol display device 23 of the present embodiment, when the normal symbol deviation is determined by lottery per common symbol, the symbol for the normal symbol consisting of the normal symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal symbol variation game. . In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 and the normal symbol display device 23 are of a 7-segment type, and their display areas (image display surfaces) are formed to have substantially the same size.

  In the game board YB, as a hit notification means provided with a plurality of (three in this embodiment) round light emitting units (LED lamps, etc.) on the lower left side of the display frame 20 (effect display device 21). Round notification device RH is provided. The round notifying device RH notifies the specified number of rounds of the hit game given this time, that is, the upper limit number of round games played in the current hit game. Further, the round notification device RH continuously notifies from the start to the end of the hit game given this time. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a big hit game with the specified round number set to “16” or “2 times” and a small hit with the specified round number set to “1”. A game is given. Then, the round notification device RH notifies the specified number of rounds of the hit game given this time by lighting (light emission) of the lamp. Specifically, the notification of the jackpot game with the specified number of rounds set to “16” is notified by the display content of the 16-time notification lamp RHa. The 16-time notification lamp RHa is marked with “16” indicating that the specified number of rounds is “16 times”. In addition, a notification of the jackpot game with the specified number of rounds set to “twice” is given by the display content that the notification lamp RHb is turned on twice. The two-time notification lamp RHb is marked with “2” indicating that the prescribed number of rounds is “twice”. In addition, notification of grant of a small hit game with the specified number of rounds set to “one time” is given by the display contents of the small hit notification lamp RHc. The small hit notification lamp RHc is not labeled with anything indicating that the specified number of rounds is “1”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the small hit notification lamp RHc is turned on depending on the display content of the small hit notification lamp RHc being lit, while the small hit notification lamp RHc is not lit and sixteen notification lamps RHa and 2 Depending on the display contents of which one of the turn notification lamps RHb is lit, the grant of a game other than the small hit game (big hit game) is notified.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 and the round notification device RH are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and are arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The line of sight (eye direction) becomes different. For this reason, when the player pays attention to the effect display device 21 and is looking toward the effect display device 21 (facing the front), the player is not looking toward the round notification device RH (in the lower left). And the effect display device 21 and the round notification device RH cannot be viewed at the same time. That is, the player can visually recognize the round notification device RH when the player is consciously turning the line of sight usually facing the front to the lower left.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 and the round notification device RH are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and are arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The player's line of sight (eye direction) will be different. For this reason, when the player is looking at one of the special symbol display device 22 and the round notification device RH so as to visually recognize either of them, the line of sight is not directed to the other. It cannot be seen at the same time.

  In the game board YB, a plurality of (four in the present embodiment) round light emitting units (LED lamps, etc.) are located at the lower left of the display frame 20 (the effect display device 21) and in the vicinity of the round notification device RH. ) Is provided with a special symbol hold storage display device 22a. Then, the special symbol hold storage display device 22a notifies the player of the number of start reserved balls for special symbols stored inside the machine (hereinafter referred to as “the number of reserved storage”). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball enters a start winning opening (upper start winning opening 24 and lower start winning opening 25) as starting means, the entered game ball is used as a start holding ball. The number of the starting reserved balls is stored in the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35) as a reserved memory number for a special symbol. The number of reserved symbols for special symbols indicates the number of symbol variable games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variable games). The number of reserved memories for special symbols is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening, and decremented by 1 at the start of the symbol variation game. Therefore, when a game ball enters the start winning opening during the symbol variation game, the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). Yes. In the present embodiment, the round notification device RH and the special symbol reservation storage display device 22a are round light emitting units (such as LED lamps), and the respective light emitting units are formed to have substantially the same size.

  In the game board YB, a plurality (four in this embodiment) of round light emitting units (four in the present embodiment) are located in the lower left part of the display frame 20 (effect display device 21) and in the vicinity of the special symbol holding storage display device 22a. A normal symbol storage storage display device 23a having an LED lamp or the like is provided. Then, the normal symbol hold storage display device 23a notifies the player of the stored number of start reserved balls for the normal symbol stored in the machine (hereinafter referred to as “the number of hold storage”). The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment stores a game ball that has entered the game as a start holding ball when the game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 arranged on the left side of the display frame 20. The number of starting and holding balls is stored in the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35) as a reserved memory number for normal symbols. The number of reserved memories for normal symbols indicates the number of normal symbol variation games that are on hold (waiting for normal symbol variation games). The number of reserved memories for normal symbols is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29, and is decremented by 1 when the normal symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 during the normal symbol variation game, the number of reserved memories for the normal symbol is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). It has become. In the present embodiment, the round notification device RH and the normal symbol reserved storage display device 23a are round light emitting units (such as LED lamps), and the light emitting units are formed to have substantially the same size.

  Further, in the game board YB, there is an upper start winning port 24 having a game ball entrance 24a between the special symbol display device 22 and the round notification device RH below the display frame 20 (effect display device 21). And the lower start winning port 25 having a game ball entrance 25a are arranged in the vertical direction. The upper start winning opening 24 is configured such that the entrance 24a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 25 is an ordinary electric accessory, and is provided with an opening / closing blade 26 as an opening / closing means for opening / closing operation by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown). Thus, the entrance 25a is opened so as to allow entry of game balls. In other words, the lower start winning opening 25 is configured to make it impossible to enter a game ball unless the opening / closing blade 26 opens to open the entrance 25a.

  At the back of each of the upper start winning opening 24 and the lower start winning opening 25, start opening switches SW1 and SW2 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting the game balls that have entered are arranged. The upper start winning opening 24 and the lower start winning opening 25 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. When the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, the lower start winning opening 25 is made in a state where the entrance is expanded and the game ball can easily enter, while when the opening / closing blade 26 is closed, the entrance is not expanded and the game ball is not expanded. It is assumed that it is impossible to enter the ball.

  Further, on the game board YB, the opening / closing operation is performed by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown between the special symbol display device 22 and the round notification device RH below the start winning ports 24 and 25. A large winning opening (special electric accessory) 28 as a winning means provided with a winning opening door 27 is provided. A count switch SW3 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the special winning opening 28. The big winning opening 28 can give a payout condition of game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. When the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is given, the big winning opening 28 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 27 and the game ball is allowed to enter. You can get a chance to win a lot of prize balls. In the present embodiment, the winning game is advantageous to the player because a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls can be obtained. This winning game is given when the winning (big hit or small win) is determined by the internal lottery, and the winning symbol (including the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol) is determined and displayed in the symbol variation game. The

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 and the big prize winning opening 28 are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and are arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The person's line of sight (eye orientation) will be different. For this reason, when the player pays attention to the effect display device 21 and is looking toward the effect display device 21 (facing the front), the player is not looking toward the grand prize winning opening 28 (turned downward). In addition, the effect display device 21 and the special winning opening 28 cannot be visually recognized at the same time. That is, the player can visually recognize the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 when the player is consciously turning his / her line of sight toward the front.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 and the special winning opening 28 are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The player's line of sight (eye direction) will be different. For this reason, when the player is looking at one of the special symbol display device 22 and the special prize opening 28 in order to visually recognize either of the special symbol display device 22 and the special winning opening 28, the player will be unable to see the other. It cannot be seen at the same time. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the round notification device RH and the special winning opening 28 are arranged at different positions on the game board YB, and arranged in the positional relationship shown in FIG. The person's line of sight (eye orientation) will be different. For this reason, when the player looks at one of the round notification device RH and the big prize opening 28 to visually recognize either of them, the player does not look at the other, and at the same time, It cannot be visually recognized.

  Further, a normal symbol operation gate 29 is disposed on the left side of the display frame 20 (effect display device 21) in the game board YB. A normal symbol variation switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting a game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operation gate 29 is provided at the back of the normal symbol operation gate 29. The normal symbol operation gate 29 can give only the starting condition of the normal symbol variation game, triggered by the passage of the game ball.

  In addition, an out-ball opening 30 is formed at the lowermost part of the game board YB to discharge game balls that have been launched into the game board YB and have not entered any of the winning openings to the outside as out-balls. Has been.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability change function is based on the condition that the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function for giving a probability variation state (probability variation state) to be varied. Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game is a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state (that is, a non-probability variation state is given) after the big hit game is a non-probability big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among the four types of special symbol jackpot symbols, three types of special symbols are set as special symbols (specific symbols) that are probable jackpots, and one type of special symbol is It is set to a special symbol (non-specific symbol) that becomes a non-probable big hit.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “variable reduction”). The variable function shortens the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the lottery probability state (winning probability per regular symbol) of the normal symbol variation game based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 29 is higher than the low probability lottery state. This is a function for giving a variable state changing to a probability lottery state as a privilege. Also, the open / close blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 25 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game, depending on whether the variable state is given or not. It is like that. That is, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is not given, the first and second opening times (for example, 200 ms) after the opening / closing blade 26 is opened for the first number of times (for example, one time). ) It keeps open until it passes. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 opens is increased (for example, three times) to a second number greater than the first number, The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1740 ms) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening in one opening. In other words, the open / close blade 26 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. During the variable speed state, the opening / closing blade 26 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entry of game balls into the lower start winning opening 25 per unit time is improved. Become. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit occurs before the number of games is reached. In the present embodiment, the number of times that the variable state is given varies depending on the gaming state when the big hit is won.

  In the present embodiment, the shortage state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 26 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. On the other hand, the non-changeable state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 26 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time non-increasing state. It should be noted that during the variable speed state (open time increasing state), the total time for which the opening / closing blades 26 are opened by one normal map increases compared to the non-short time state.

  Hereinafter, the big hit game and the small hit game defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, “OP time” indicates “opening effect time”, “RND time” indicates “round game time”, and “ED time” indicates “ending effect time”.

  The big hit game is won after winning the big hit in the big hit 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 28 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 27 is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (upper limit round number) predetermined (in the present embodiment, 16 times or 2 times). ) Multiple times. One round game is based on the condition that either a predetermined round game time elapses after the round game starts or a predetermined maximum number of game balls enter. finish. 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 the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the four types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, the jackpot symbols of the four types of special symbols are classified into four types: symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, and symbol D, as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the small hit symbol is one type of symbol E as shown in FIG.

  When the symbol A is displayed on the special symbol display device 22, a 7-segment symbol that can recognize “A” in 7 segments is displayed. Thereby, when “A” is displayed in 7 segments of the special symbol display device 22, the player can recognize (discriminate) the winning of the big hit game based on the symbol A. Further, when the symbol B is displayed on the special symbol display device 22, a 7-segment symbol capable of recognizing “B” by 7 segments is displayed. Thereby, when “B” is displayed in 7 segments of the special symbol display device 22, the player can recognize (discriminate) the winning of the big hit game based on the symbol B. When the symbol C is displayed on the special symbol display device 22, a 7-segment symbol that can recognize “C” is displayed in 7 segments. Thereby, when “C” is displayed in 7 segments of the special symbol display device 22, it is possible to recognize (discriminate) the winning of the big hit game based on the symbol C. Further, when the symbol D is displayed on the special symbol display device 22, a 7-segment symbol capable of recognizing “D” in 7 segments is displayed. Thereby, when “D” is displayed in 7 segments of the special symbol display device 22, the winning of the big hit game based on the symbol D can be recognized (discriminated). On the other hand, when the symbol E is displayed on the special symbol display device 22, a 7-segment symbol capable of recognizing “E” in 7 segments is displayed. Thereby, when “E” is displayed in 7 segments of the special symbol display device 22, the winning of the small hit game based on the symbol E can be recognized (discriminated). In the present embodiment, one type of special symbol is associated with each of symbols A, B, C, D, and E, so that the player can easily recognize the special symbol.

  In the jackpot game based on the pattern A, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and the jackpot 28 is opened “one time” during one round game, so that the jackpot is set to “16” during the jackpot game. Times (1 round x 1 release 16 sets) ". In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the jackpot game based on the pattern A is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is referred to as “16R probability variable jackpot game”. After the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changed state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probability changed state. It is like that. In FIG. 3, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the certain variable state is described as “no limit”.

  Also, in the 16R probable big hit game, the opening time is “6.0 seconds (6000 ms)”, the round game time of each round game is “25.0 seconds (25000 ms)”, and the ending time is “11.0 seconds ( 11000 ms) ”is set.

  In the big hit game based on the design B, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 28 is opened “one time” during one round game. 1 time (2 rounds of 1 round x 1 release) ”. In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol B is the first high-winning game as a hit type. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the big hit game based on the symbol B is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol B may be referred to as a “2R probability variable jackpot game” and may be referred to as a “normal 2R game”. And after the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game is finished, a probability change state and a variable state are given until the end of the probability change state, and the big hit game end There is a case where only the probability variation state is given later.

  In the 2R probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)”, the round game time of each round game is “0.6 seconds (600 ms)”, and the ending time is “0.004 seconds ( 4 ms) ”is set.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “2”, and the first winning round game is targeted for the first (first) round game a plurality of times in the round game (in this embodiment, “3 times”) is opened, and the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened “1 time” during the round game for the second round game. In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol C is the second high-winning game as a hit type. In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol D is a low probability hit game as a hit type. In other words, the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D opens the winning prize opening 28 "4 times (1 round x 3 times open 1 set + 1 round x 1 time open 1 set)" during the jackpot game. ing. In addition, the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game in the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol C may be referred to as “special 2R probability variable jackpot game” and may be referred to as “special 2R game”. And after the end of the special 2R probable big hit game, depending on the presence or absence of the variable state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable state and the variable state are given until the end of the probable state after the big hit game ends. In some cases, only a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol D may be referred to as “special 2R non-probable big hit game” and may be referred to as “special 2R game”. Then, after the special 2R non-probable big win game ends, depending on whether or not there is a variable state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game, the non-probable change state and the 100 times (maximum value) symbol variation game will be changed. There are cases where a short state is given and cases where only a non-probable change state is given after the end of the big hit game.

  In the special 2R game, the opening time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)” and the round game time of the first round game is “10.2 seconds (10200 (ms))”. “6.2 seconds (6200 (ms))” is set as the round game time and “0.004 seconds (4 ms)” is set as the ending time.

  In addition, the small hit game given by the symbol E is set to “1” for the specified number of rounds, and the big winning opening 28 is opened “2 times” during one round game. The winning opening 28 is opened “twice (1 round × 2 open is one set)”. In the present embodiment, the small hit game based on the symbol E is a maintenance hit game as a hit type. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the small hit game is set to “9 balls”.

  Further, in the small hit, the gaming state after the end of the small hitting game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery. In other words, in the small win, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If so, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the variable state. In addition, in the small win, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be in an uncertain change state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is not If it is in the variable state, the game state after the small hit game is continued to the non-variable state. Hereinafter, the small hit game based on the symbol E may be referred to as a “normal 2R game”.

  In addition, in the small hit game, the opening time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)”, the round game time of the round game is “3.2 seconds (3200 ms)”, and the ending time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)”. "Is set.

  Further, in this embodiment, each round game of winning game may be ended when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time. On the other hand, during the round game in which the round game time is “10.2 seconds”, “6.2 seconds”, “3.2 seconds”, and “0.6 seconds”, the total opening time of the grand prize winning opening 28 is set to 1. The number of game balls that enter the grand prize opening 28 in round games is set to a time that makes it very difficult to meet the maximum number of balls entered during round games where the round game time is “25 seconds”. Yes. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. For this reason, in round games where the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in round games cannot be said to be much longer than “5.4 seconds” required to fire nine game balls, Even if “9 balls” of game balls, which are the upper limit of the number of balls entered, are launched rather than during a round game where the time is “25 seconds”, it is difficult to enter them. In a round game where the round game time is “25 seconds”, the total opening time of the grand prize winning opening 28 in each round game is from the time “5.4 seconds” required to fire nine game balls. However, it is practically possible to enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, by setting the far longer “25 seconds”.

  Hereinafter, each winning game of the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 with a focus on normal 2R games and special 2R games. 4 and 5, “OP” indicates “opening”, “ED” indicates “ending”, and “R” such as “1R” and “2R” indicates “round”. Therefore, “1R” indicates the first round game, and “2R” indicates the second round game. In addition, the numbers “1” to “4” shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 indicate the number of times the special winning opening is opened during a single game.

4 (a) and 5 (a) show details of a 2R probability variable big hit game among normal 2R games.
In the 2R probable big hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and each round of the first and second rounds after the opening effect ends. Games ("1R" and "2R") are played in order. In the 2R probability variation big hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T4 = “4 (ms)”) is finally performed. In each round game of 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of open times) of the special winning opening 28 is set to “1”.

  In each round game, the opening time T1 related to one opening / closing operation from the opening of the special winning opening 28 to the closing is set to “600 (ms)”. In FIG. 5, “open 1” is shown. Further, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, when the first round game is completed, the next round game starts after the elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds. The interval time T2 as the interval period between rounds set after the first round game is set to “2000 (ms)”. In FIG. 5, “interval 1” is shown. Further, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, when the round game of the second round is completed, the interval time T3 as a predetermined interval period between rounds is set to “17200 (ms)”. In FIG. 5, “interval 2” is shown.

  For this reason, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, when the first round game is started, the big prize opening 28 is opened for a maximum of “600 (ms)”, and the big prize opening 28 is given as the opening time T1 elapses. Is closed and the first round game is completed, and the next round game starts after an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)”. When the round game of the second round is started, the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened for a maximum of “600 (ms)”, and the grand prize winning opening 28 is closed with the lapse of the opening time T1, and the second round. The round game ends, and the ending effect starts after an interval between rounds of “17200 (ms)”. In the 2R probability variable big hit game, the opening time T1 of the big winning opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 4A, a time T5 indicates a maximum time (“20408 (ms)”) as a hit game time from the start to the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game.

4 (b) and 5 (b) show details of the small hit game among the normal 2R games.
In the small hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed at the start of the small hit game, and the first round game (“1R”) after the opening effect ends. ) Is performed. In the small hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T4 = “4 (ms)”) is finally performed. In the round game of the small hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of opening) of the big winning opening 28 is set to “2 times”.

  In the round game, when the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time and the second time, the opening time T1 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the big prize opening 28 to the closing is set to “600 (ms)”. Has been. The opening time T1 is set to the same time as the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game. In addition, in the small hit game, the grand prize opening 28 is opened twice in one round game, and when the first opening of the big prize opening 28 is completed, the second opening is performed after elapse of a predetermined in-round interval. It is supposed to start. The interval time T2 as the interval period within the round is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T2 is set to the same time as the interval time T2 as the interval period between rounds set in the 2R probability variation big hit game. Further, in the small hit game, when one round game is completed, the next round game is started after a predetermined interval between rounds has elapsed. The interval time T3 as the period of the interval between rounds is set to “17200 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is set to the same time as the interval time T3 as the interval period between rounds set in the 2R probability variation big hit game.

  For this reason, in the small hit game, when the round game starts, the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time during “600 (ms)”, and the big prize opening 28 is closed as the opening time T1 elapses. Then, after the intra-round interval of “2000 (ms)”, the special winning opening 28 opens for the second time. Then, with the elapse of the opening time T1 based on the second opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and one round game is ended, and the ending effect is started through the inter-round interval of “17200 (ms)”. To do. In the small hit game, the round game time is a time ("3200 (ms)") obtained by adding the two opening times T1 of the big winning opening 28 and the one interval time T2. In FIG. 4B, a time T5 indicates a maximum time (“20408 (ms)”) as a hit game time from the start of the small hit game to the end. This time T5 is set to the same time as the time T5 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game.

4 (c) and 5 (c) show details of the special 2R game (special 2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game).
In the special 2R game, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and each round of the first and second rounds after the opening effect ends. Games ("1R" and "2R") are played in order. In the special 2R game, an ending effect (ending effect time T4 = “4 (ms)”) is finally performed. In the round game of the first round of the special 2R game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified opening number) of the grand prize opening 28 is set to “3”, and in the second round game, the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 28 The number of times is set to “1”.

  In the first round game, when the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time and the second time, the opening time T1 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the big prize opening 28 to the closing time is “600 (ms). ) ”. The opening time T1 is set to the same time as the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. Also, in the first round game, when the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the third time, the opening time T6 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the special prize opening 28 to the closing is “5000 (ms)”. Is set. The opening time T6 is set to a time longer than the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. In FIG. 5, “Open 2” is shown. In the second round game, the opening time T7 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the special winning opening 28 to the closing is set to “6200 (ms)”. The opening time T7 is longer than the opening time T1 set for the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game, and is set from the start to the end of the round game. In FIG. 5, “open 3” is shown.

  Also, in the special 2R game, when the grand prize opening 28 is released three times in the first round game, when the first opening of the big prize opening 28 is completed, the second round is passed after a predetermined in-round interval has elapsed. When the second opening is completed, the third opening is started after the elapse of a predetermined in-round interval. The interval time T2 indicating the period of the round interval between the first to third rounds of the special winning opening 28 is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T2 is set to the same time as the interval time T2 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game.

  In the special 2R game, when the round game of the first round is completed, the round game of the second round starts after elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds. In this case, the interval time T2 indicating the interval period between rounds in the special 2R game is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T2 is set to the same time as the interval time T2 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game.

  For this reason, in the special 2R game, when the first round game is started, the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened for the first time during “600 (ms)”, and the time of the opening time T1 increases. The winning opening 28 is closed, and the large winning opening 28 is opened for the second time after an interval in the round of “2000 (ms)”. In addition, with the elapse of the opening time T1 based on the second opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the special winning opening 28 is opened for the third time through an in-round interval of “2000 (ms)”. Then, as the opening time T6 (“5000 (ms)”) based on the third opening is elapsed, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the first round game is ended, and “2000 (ms)” is finished. The next round game starts after the interval between rounds. When the round game of the second round is started, the special winning opening 28 is opened for “6200 (ms)”, and the special winning opening 28 is closed as the opening time T7 elapses, and the round game is started. Ending and the ending effect starts after an inter-round interval of “2000 (ms)”.

  In the special 2R game, the round game time of the first round is the sum of the two opening times T1, the opening time T6 for one time, and the interval time T2 for two times. On the other hand, in the special 2R game, in the round game of the second round, the opening time T7 of the special winning opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 4C, time T8 indicates the maximum time ("3204 (ms)") from the start of the special 2R game until the end of the second winning opening 28. This time T8 is set to the time until the round game of the second round ends in the 2R probability variable big hit game or the time until the round game ends in the small hit game. In FIG. 4C, time T5 indicates the maximum time (“20408 (ms)”) as the hit game time from the start to the end of the special 2R game. This time T5 is set to the same time as the time T5 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game.

FIG. 6 shows the details of the 16R probability variation big hit game.
In the 16R probable big hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T9 = “6000 (ms)”) is first performed at the start of the big hit game, and each of the first to the 16th rounds after the opening effect ends. Round games ("1R" to "16R") are performed in order. In the 16R probability variation big hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T11 = “11000 (ms))” is finally performed. In each round game of 16R probability variable big hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of times of opening) of the grand prize opening 28 is set to “1”, and it is one time from the opening of the big prize opening 28 until it is closed. The opening time T10 related to the opening / closing operation is set to “25000 (ms)”. Further, in the 16R probability variation big hit game, when one round game is finished, the next round game is started after elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds. The interval time T2 indicating the interval period between rounds set after each round game is set to “2000 (ms)”.

  For this reason, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, when the round game starts, the big prize opening 28 is opened for a maximum of “25000 (ms)” and the big prize opening 28 is closed as the opening time T10 elapses. The operation of completing one round game and starting the next round game through an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)” is repeated for 16 round games. In the 16R probability variation big hit game, the opening time T10 of the big prize opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 6, time T12 indicates the maximum time (“449000 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the 16R probability variation big hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the time T5 as the hit game time from the start to the end of the normal 2R game and the special 2R game is set to the same time T5 (“20408 (ms)”). For this reason, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, the time from the stop of the change of the symbol variation game to which these are given until the next symbol variation game starts after each hit game becomes the same time. As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, time T5 (“20408 (ms)”) as the same performance time from the start to the end of these games The effect during the hit game is executed with the same content for the entire game. In this win game effect, an effect character is displayed as an image on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21, and either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is released along with the opening of the special winning opening 28 by the action of the effect character. It is performed in such a manner that the winning is notified. For this reason, in the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game, the player cannot discriminate the difference from the effect time and effect contents of the effect display device 21.

  In the present embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are performed by opening the same big winning opening 28 in the same opening / closing operation mode (opening mode). Therefore, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game from the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28. Further, in the present embodiment, the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game are performed by opening the same big winning opening 28 in the same opening / closing operation mode (open mode). For this reason, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the special 2R probability variation jackpot game and the special 2R non-probability variation jackpot game from the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the normal 2R game and the special 2R game are performed by opening the same big prize opening 28 in different opening / closing operation modes (opening modes). That is, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, the total number of times of opening through the winning game is different, and the total opening time through the winning game is different. Further, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 from the start of the winning game to the end of the second opening is set to be the same. For this reason, the player can determine the difference between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game from the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 after the opening of the second game from the start of the winning game. .

  In the present embodiment, the ratio of the appearance of the special 2R probability variation big hit game to the appearance of the special 2R system game is larger (higher) than the ratio of the appearance of the 2R probability variation big hit game to the appearance of the normal 2R system game. The appearance rate of each game is set so as to be. As a result, when it is determined that the special 2R game is determined based on the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28, the expectation degree to the hit game that gives a certain probability change state is higher than the case where it is determined that the game is normally 2R game. Rise. That is, the greater the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened, the higher the degree of expectation for a hit game that will give a certain probability change state. For this reason, in the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game, the player can infer whether the 2R probability variable big hit game or the special 2R probability variable big hit game is given from the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28. ing.

  For this reason, when a player is given either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game, the player is given either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game by paying attention to the effect display device 21. Cannot be determined. In addition, when either a normal 2R system game or a special 2R system game is awarded, the player pays attention to the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28, so that the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is given. It is possible to determine whether a 2R probability variable big hit game or a special 2R probability variable big hit game has been granted. In addition, when the player is given either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game, whether the player has been given a small hit game or other big hit game by paying attention to the round notification device RH Can be determined. Note that even if the player pays attention to the round notification device RH, the same display content (the two-time notification lamp RHb is lit) is displayed for the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable big hit game. So it cannot be distinguished. On the other hand, the player can determine which winning game is given by paying attention to the special symbol display device 22 when either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is given.

  When the player wants to enjoy a secret game that cannot determine whether a normal 2R game or a special 2R game is given, either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game is given. What is necessary is just to pay attention to the effect display device 21. In the present embodiment, if attention is paid to the effect display device 21, the special symbol display device 22, the round notification device RH, and the special winning opening 28 cannot be visually recognized. As a result, it is possible to satisfy a player who wants to enjoy the secret game.

  In addition, when a player wants to enjoy a guessing game property of guessing which one of a normal 2R game and a special 2R game is won, either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game is given. Then, what is necessary is just to pay attention to the special winning opening 28 and the round notification device RH. In the present embodiment, since the display contents of the round notification device RH can be confirmed during the game, even if the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 and the display content of the round notification device RH cannot be viewed at the same time, these are individually displayed. It can be confirmed. In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 cannot be visually recognized even if attention is paid to the special winning opening 28 and the round notification device RH. As a result, it is possible to satisfy the player's desire to enjoy the guessing game.

  In addition, when a player wants to enjoy a notification game property that can determine which winning game of a normal 2R game and a special 2R game is won, either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game Is given, the special symbol display device 22 may be noted. In the present embodiment, since the display content of the special symbol display device 22 is continuously displayed until the next symbol variation game is executed, the symbol variation game based on winning (big hit or small hit) wins. It can be visually recognized from the end during the hit game (big hit game or small hit game). As a result, it is possible to satisfy a player who wants to enjoy the notification game.

  Further, in this embodiment, each round game time (FIGS. 4A and 4B) in the 2R probability variable big hit game is the round game time of each round game in the special 2R game (FIG. 4C). Is set shorter. Further, in this embodiment, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of 2R probability variation jackpot game (“600 (ms)”) is the opening of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the special 2R game. It is set shorter than the time ("6200 (ms)" when the first round is released three times) and "6200 (ms)" when the second round is released once. Also, in this embodiment, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the round game of the small hit game (“1200 (ms)” in the case of two opening), the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the special 2R game The opening time is set to be shorter than “6200 (ms)” when the first round is opened three times, and “6200 (ms)” when the second round is opened once. As a result, in this embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 through the normal 2R game is a short opening with a shorter total opening time than the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 through the special 2R game. Further, in this embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 through the special 2R game is a long opening that has a longer total opening time than the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 through the normal 2R game.

  Further, in this embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are different in the prescribed number of rounds (two times and one time) of the round games constituting the hit game, but the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 is the same. Thus, there is no difference in the number of prize balls that can be obtained by a player in a single game. In addition, the special 2R probabilistic big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game have the same number of rounds constituting the hit game, and the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 is set to be the same per game. Thus, there can be no difference in the number of prize balls that a player can acquire.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the special 2R game and the 2R probability variable big hit game have the same number of rounds (two times) of the round game constituting the win game, but on the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 There may be a difference in the number of prize balls that a player can acquire in a single game. Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the special 2R game, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is a winning game that can acquire a larger number of prize balls than the 2R probability variation big winning game. In the present embodiment, the special 2R game is such that the open / close operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is a winning game in which a larger amount of prize balls can be obtained than the small winning game.

  In the present embodiment, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, the prescribed number of round games constituting the win game is larger than other hit games (normal 2R game and special 2R game). Further, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, each round game time and the release time in each round game are equal to or longer than the other hit games. As a result, in this embodiment, the 16R probability variation big hit game is a hit game in which a larger amount of prize balls can be obtained than other hit games.

  The prize ball is a game ball that is given as a prize to the player for one ball entering the big prize opening. In addition, the small number or large number of winning balls obtained in comparison with each winning game described above means that the number of winning balls obtained in each winning game is small or large. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, for example, “14 balls” of game balls are set to be paid out as a prize ball for one ball entering the big prize opening 28. If the maximum number of balls entered in a round game is set to “9 balls” and “9 balls” game balls enter the big prize opening, “126 balls” game balls will be paid out to the player as prize balls. Will be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the lottery probability state (game state) of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state (probability change state) as an effect performed on the effect display device 21. However, it is configured to be able to execute a plurality of (four in this embodiment) presentation modes (suggesting presentations) that suggest (notify) the player whether the low-probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). Specifically, a high-accuracy mode MK that suggests to the player that a high-probability lottery state (probability-variable state) is being granted (game state) is provided in the effect display device 21. . The effect display device 21 executes a high expectation mode MS that suggests to the player that he / she can have an expectation that he / she is in a high-probability lottery state (probability variation state) during the provision of the variable state (game state). It is configured to be possible. In addition, the medium expectation mode MT as a specific suggesting effect that suggests to the player that he / she can have an expectation that he / she is in a high-probability lottery state (probability variation state) during the granting of the non-variable state (game state) Is configured to be executable by the effect display device 21. In addition, a low expectation mode MF that suggests to the player that there is a high possibility that a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state) is being given (non-probability variation state) (non-probability variation state is being given). Is configured to be executable by the effect display device 21. In the present embodiment, any one of the high-accuracy mode MK, the high expectation mode MS, the medium expectation mode MT, and the low expectation mode MF is performed. In the present embodiment, the low expectation mode MF <intermediate expectation mode MT <high expectation mode MS <high accuracy mode MK is positioned as an effect with a high expectation level in the probability variation state.

  Then, in the high-accuracy mode MK, the effect display device 21 displays an image of the “high-accuracy mode” based on the background image GK for the high-accuracy mode, as shown in FIG. Further, in the effect display device 21 in the high expectation mode MS, as shown in FIG. 7, the “high expectation mode” is displayed based on the background image GS for the high expectation mode. In the medium expectation mode MT, the effect display device 21 displays an image of “medium expectation mode” based on the background image GT, as shown in FIG. In the low expectation mode MF, the effect display device 21 displays an image of the “low expectation mode” based on the background image GF, as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 displays a background image displayed in association with the symbol variation game, and displays the decorative symbols in each column so as to overlap the background image. The symbol variation game is executed by displaying the ornament symbols variably. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, various effect modes are executed by the background image displayed on the effect display device 21, and the type of effect mode currently staying at the player is determined from the type of the background image. Can understand. The background image in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is an image that can be configured excluding symbols displayed in the symbol variation game, and is displayed in association with each decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the symbol variation game. It is different from the thing.

  Next, the transition mode of the production mode accompanying the progress of the game will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7, the 16R probability variation big hit game is “16R probability variation”, the 2R probability variation big hit game is “2R probability variation”, the special 2R probability variation big hit game is “special 2R probability variation”, and the special 2R non-probability large hit game is “special 2R probability variation”. ”, And the small hit game is indicated as“ small hit ”.

  If you win the 16R probable big hit game, even if you stay in any of the production modes, both the variable state and the probable state are given with “no limit”, and the mode changes to the high probability mode MK. .

  In addition, when winning the 2R probability variable big hit game, if the high probability mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, after the 2R probability variable big hit game is over, the variable state and the probability variable state are given “no limit”. The production mode that was staying at the time of winning was continued. In addition, when the 2R probability variable big hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT are staying, no change state is given after the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, but the probability change state is “no limit”. And is shifted to the medium expectation mode MT.

  Also, if the special 2R probable big hit game is won, if the high probable mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, after the special 2R probable big hit game is over, the variable state and the probable state are “no limit”. Assigned to the high expectation mode MS. Also, if the special 2R probable big hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT are staying, no special short state is given after the special 2R probable big hit game is over, but the probable state is “limit” "None" is given to shift to the medium expectation mode MT.

  In addition, if a special 2R non-probable big hit game is won and the high probability mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, the special 2R non-probable big hit game is not given a probable state after the end of the special 2R non-probable big hit game. A variable state for a variable game is given, and a transition is made to the high expectation mode MS. In addition, when a special 2R non-probable big hit game is won, both the short state and the probable state are not given after the special 2R non-probable big hit game is over while staying in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT. Thus, the mode is shifted to the medium expectation mode MT.

  In addition, when winning the small hit game, if the high accuracy mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, the game state is maintained after the small hit game ends, and the directing mode that was staying at the time of winning is changed. It is supposed to continue. In addition, when the small hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT are staying, the game state is maintained after the end of the small hit game and the medium expectation mode MT is shifted. It has become.

  That is, during the stay in the high probability mode MK, after the 16R probability variable big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game are finished, the high probability mode MK is continued to determine that the probability changed state is established. Suggestion (notification). In addition, during the stay in the high probability mode MK, after the special 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R non-probability big hit game are finished, the probability variation state is determined without determining the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state. Suggest to the player that it may be.

  In addition, during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is over, the player is shifted to the high probability mode MK, thereby confirming that the probability change state is entered and suggesting (notifying) the player. In addition, during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, the special expectation mode MS is continued after the special 2R probable big hit game, the special 2R non-probable big hit game, the 2R probable big hit game, and the small hit game are finished. Or, it is suggested to the player that there is a possibility that the non-probability change state is confirmed without confirming the non-probability change state.

  Further, during the stay in the medium expectation mode MT, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is completed, the player is determined to be in the probability variation state by making a transition to the high probability mode MK and is suggested (notified) to the player. In addition, during the stay in the medium expectation mode MT, after the special 2R probability variation big hit game, special 2R non-probability big hit game, 2R probability variation big hit game, and the small hit game finish, the medium expectation mode MT is continued, Or, it is suggested to the player that there is a possibility that the non-probability change state is confirmed without confirming the non-probability change state.

  Further, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is completed, the player is determined to be in the probability variation state by making a transition to the high probability mode MK to suggest (notify) the player. In addition, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF, after the special 2R probable big hit game, special 2R non-probable big hit game, 2R probable big hit game, and small hit game are over, the promiscuous state is changed. Or, it is suggested to the player that there is a possibility that the non-probability change state may be in the probabilistic change state without determining.

  The high-accuracy mode MK, the high expectation mode MS, and the medium expectation mode MT are started (given) with the end of each hit game (big hit game or small hit game), and after the end of each hit game, the next symbol change Execution is instructed before the game is started.

  In addition, while staying in the high expectation mode MS, the short-lived state will not continue in the 101st symbol variation game without winning any big hit games (except for small hit games) since the start of the high expectation mode MS That is, the transition to the low expectation mode MF is triggered by the end of the provision of the variable state and the change from the variable state to the non-variable state. In this case, the low expectation mode MF is started (given) after the end of the variable state (after the end of the 100th symbol variation game) and with the start of the next symbol variation game (the 101st symbol variation game). It has become so.

  In addition, during the stay in the middle expectation mode MT, a falling lottery is executed to determine whether or not a fall opportunity comes every time the symbol variation game is started in the middle expectation mode MT. In the fall lottery, the transition from the middle expectation mode MT to the low expectation mode MF is assumed as a fall opportunity when the lottery result of “fall” is set. In addition, in the fall lottery, when the lottery result of “continue” is set, the middle expectation mode MT is continued as a fall trigger does not arrive. Further, when the lottery result of the falling lottery “falling” is derived, the middle expectation mode MT is ended with the end of the target symbol variation game. In the falling lottery, random numbers are assigned by assigning random numbers so that the probability of determining “falling” and “continuation” is a predetermined probability.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference from the transition mode of the production mode between the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game under the condition that the winning time is in the variable state. It has become. Further, in the present embodiment, the player can discriminate the difference from the transition mode of the production mode between the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game under the condition that the winning time is variable. There is no such thing. In this case, the player who enjoys the secret game property or the guess game property can continue to enjoy the secret game property or the guess game property by winning the special 2R game.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference from the transition mode of the production mode between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is not changed. It has become. In this case, for the player who enjoys the concealment game property or the speculation game property, the concealment game property or the speculation game property is continuously enjoyed by any of the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game. be able to.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 35 as a main control device for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 35 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing on control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. Further, a sub-integrated control board 36, an effect display control board 37, and a sound / lamp control board 38 are mounted on the rear side of the machine.

  The sub integrated control board 36 comprehensively controls the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 35. The effect display control board 37 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 21 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36. To do. Also, the sound / lamp control board 38 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36, and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting timings) of the various lamp units 15a to 15c. And the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speakers 16a and 16b.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 35, the sub-integrated control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the main control board 35, a main control CPU 35a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 35b for storing a control program of the main control CPU 35a, and necessary data can be written and read. A main control RAM 35c is provided. A main control ROM 35b and a main control RAM 35c are connected to the main control CPU 35a. The main control CPU 35a includes an upper start switch SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start winning opening 24, and a lower start port switch SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start winning opening 25. It is connected. The main control CPU 35a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 28, and a normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 29. The main control CPU 35a also has a special symbol display device 22, a normal symbol display device 23, a special symbol hold storage display device 22a, a normal symbol hold storage display device 23a, and a round notification device RH via a symbol display board 39. Is connected.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 35c before updating. Has been rewritten. Further, the main control CPU 35a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control RAM 35c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 35b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns (effect content patterns) are stored in the main control ROM 35b. The variation pattern is displayed in the symbol display game 21 and the special symbol display device 22 after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start, and then the symbol display game 21 and the special symbol display device 22 are determined and stopped. The pattern used as the base of the game effect (display effect, light emission effect, audio | voice effect) until is complete | finished is shown. That is, the variation pattern can specify the effect contents and the effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special symbol starts to vary until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. The variation patterns are for hitting effects (for big hit effects (for big hit fluctuations) or for small hit effects (for small hits fluctuation)), for outlier reach effects (for outlier reach fluctuations), and for outlier effects (for normal fluctuations). It is classified according to the contents of variation.

  The winning effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the winning symbol combination (big hit symbol combination or small winning symbol combination) is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. Further, the outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed after the reach effect. Also, the outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combinations that are out of place without being subjected to the reach effect. In the reach effect, in the symbol variation game using the decorative symbols on the effect display device 21, after the reach symbol combination is formed, the symbol combination (the winning symbol combination or the off symbol combination) is finally derived. It is an effect performed in Further, in the special symbol display device 22, when the symbol variation game is started, the symbol variation is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect.

The main control ROM 35b stores a hit determination value (a big hit determination value or a small hit determination value).
The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery (big hit determination) for determining whether or not the jackpot, and is a number of values that can be taken by a random number for jackpot determination for special symbols (random number for jackpot determination) (all 1597 values from 0 to 1596) Integer). 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 state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in the present embodiment) is set to be larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state (four in the present embodiment). For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit in the big hit lottery in the non-probable change state is 4/1597, and the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery in the probable change state is 40/1597. It becomes. In addition, the main control RAM 35c stores a hit determination random number (big hit determination random number) used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) for determining whether or not to win. In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination random number is acquired when a game ball wins each start winning opening 24, 25. The main control RAM 35c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of a special symbol that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special symbol (big hit symbol) is assigned a predetermined number of random numbers for special symbol allocation, and the main control CPU 35a acquires the special symbol obtained when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the random number for chart distribution. The special control distribution random number is predetermined by the main control CPU 35a so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from “0” to “99”). Each time period (every 2 ms) is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as the special figure distribution random number value, and rewrites the already stored special figure distribution random number value. The random numbers for minutes are updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random numbers are acquired when a game ball wins each start winning opening 24, 25.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery (win lottery) for determining whether or not a small hit, and a numerical value (0 to 1596) that can be taken by a random number for determining a hit for a special symbol (random number for determining a small hit) (1597 integers). In the present embodiment, “5” numerical values are defined as the small hit determination value. Therefore, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is “5/1597”. Note that the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is imparted and whether or not the variation state is imparted (the same value is determined). That is, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is fixed regardless of the gaming state. The main control RAM 35c stores special symbol distribution random numbers for small hits that are used when determining the type of special symbol that becomes a small hit symbol when determining the small hit. Each special symbol (small winning symbol) is assigned a predetermined number of random numbers for special symbol allocation for small winning, and the main control CPU 35a determines that the small winning symbol is positive (the small hit determination is affirmative). ), The small hit symbol is determined based on the acquired special random number for special symbol allocation. The special control distribution random number for small hits is a main control so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all three kinds of integers “0” to “3”). The CPU 35a is updated by incrementing the numerical value every predetermined cycle (every 2 ms). Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as the value of the special figure distribution random number for small hits, and stores the special figure distribution random number for the small hits already stored. By rewriting the value, the value of the special map distribution random number for small hits is sequentially updated. In the present embodiment, the special map distribution random numbers for small hits are acquired when the game balls win the respective start winning ports 24 and 25.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the hit for the special symbol is a random number used in the jackpot lottery (whether the jackpot is determined) whether or not the jackpot is determined, and whether or not the jackpot is determined if the jackpot lottery is not won. It is a random number used in the small hit lottery (small hit determination).

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 35b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to execute the shift reach effect when determining the shift, and is a numerical value that can be taken by the random numbers for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the integers on the street. In this embodiment, the reach determination value is determined so that it is easier to derive a determination result that does not execute the reach effect than a determination result that executes the reach effect. The main control RAM 35c stores reach determination random numbers used for reach determination. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number is acquired at the time of reach determination. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number may be acquired in response to the winning of the game ball in each of the start winning ports 24 and 25.

  Further, the main control ROM 35b stores a standard hit value. The judgment value per common figure is a judgment value used in internal lottery (lottery per common figure) for whether or not per common figure, and a numerical value that can be taken by the random number for judgment per common figure (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250) ). It should be noted that the number of judgment values per common figure differs depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of judgment values per common figure when the variable state is given (250 in this embodiment). Are set to be larger than the number of determination values per common figure when the variable state is not given (51 in this embodiment). In addition, the main control RAM 35c stores a random number for determining the universal symbol used when determining the universal symbol. In this embodiment, the random number for determining per common figure is acquired when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 29.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit, the probability of winning a small hit, and a special symbol, each winning symbol (big winning symbol (symbol AD) and small bonus symbol (symbol E)) The appearance rate (selected ratio) of each winning game calculated based on the number of special figure distribution random numbers distributed to will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, in the low-probability lottery state that is in the non-probable variation state, the probability of winning the big hit is set to 4/1597, and the high probability of being in the probabilistic variation state. In the lottery state, the probability of winning a big hit is set to 40/1597. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the probability of winning a small hit is set to 5/1597 in both the low-probability lottery state that becomes the non-probability change state and the high-probability lottery state that becomes the probability change state. ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, among the special symbols, the special symbol distribution random numbers for each jackpot symbol (symbols A to D) are 70 for symbol A and 1 for symbol B. Nine pieces are assigned to symbol C and 20 pieces are assigned to symbol D. And when the random number for special figure distribution (special symbol) is distributed in this way, the winning probability corresponding to the number of random numbers for special symbol distribution (special symbol) is allocated at the time of winning the jackpot Each jackpot symbol is won (the jackpot symbol is selected). That is, as shown in FIG. 10, at the time of winning the jackpot, the winning probability of symbol A is 70/100, the winning probability of symbol B is 1/100, and the winning probability of symbol C is 9/100. The winning probability of symbol D is 20/100. Therefore, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is 70% (70/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol B is 1% (1/100) of the entire jackpot. The jackpot game based on the symbol C is 9% (9/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol D is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot. As a result, the jackpot game based on the symbols A to C, that is, the jackpot game that gives a probability variation state after the jackpot game ends is 80% (80/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol D, that is, the jackpot game The jackpot game to which the non-probability change state is given after the end is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot. For this reason, in this embodiment, the ratio (probability change ratio) which becomes a probable big hit out of the big hits is 80%. Each of these symbols A, B, C, and D belongs to one type of big hit symbol (4 types in total). At the time of winning the small hit, the symbol E is won with a winning probability of 100/100 (the symbol E is selected), and the small hit game based on the symbol E is achieved. Note that one type of small hit symbol belongs to the symbol E.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) of each jackpot game in a single symbol variation game, that is, the ratio of each jackpot game being selected is the winning probability of jackpot and each jackpot It is calculated from the number of special figure sorting random numbers distributed to symbols. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) of the small hit, that is, the ratio of selecting the small hit game in one symbol variation game is calculated from the winning probability of the small hit. The In addition, in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) with respect to the symbol B to symbol D and the small hit symbol among the big hit symbols is shown. That is, FIG. 11 shows the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games and special 2R games. Moreover, in FIG. 11, the calculated value to the 3rd place below the decimal point which rounded off the 4th place below the decimal point is shown.

  Specifically, the appearance rate (%) of the jackpot game based on each jackpot symbol is calculated by a percentage of the multiplication result of the jackpot winning probability and the winning probability of each jackpot symbol at the time of winning the jackpot. That is, the appearance rate (%) of the 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol B is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 1/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state, and is about 0.003%. It becomes. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of 2R probability variation big hit games based on the design B is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 1/100 under the condition of a high probability lottery state, and is about 0.025%. It becomes. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol C is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 9/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state. %. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol C is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 9/100 under the condition of the high probability lottery state. %. Also, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R non-probability big hit game based on the symbol D is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 20/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state. 050%. Also, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R non-probable big hit game based on the symbol D is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 20/100 under the condition of a high probability lottery state. 501%.

  Note that the appearance rate (%) of the small hit game based on the small hit symbol is calculated by the percentage of the winning probability per small hit. That is, the appearance rate (%) of the small hit game based on the symbol E is calculated from 5/1597 under the conditions of the low probability lottery state and the high probability lottery state, and is about 0.313%.

  In this embodiment, the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games is based on the sum of the appearance rate (%) of 2R probability variation big hit games based on symbol B and the appearance rate (%) of small hit games based on symbol E. Calculated. The proportion of the appearance rate (%) of the 2R probability variation big hit game based on the pattern B in the appearance rate (%) of the normal 2R type game is the expectation degree of the 2R probability variation big hit game at the time of the appearance of the normal 2R type game. Probability expectation (%) for the state being given. That is, this probability variation expectation (%) is the expectation for a winning game in which the winning game is in a high-probability lottery state.

  In the present embodiment, the appearance rate (%) of special 2R games is the appearance rate (%) of special 2R probability variable big hit games based on symbol C and the appearance rate (%) of special 2R non-probable big hit games based on symbol D. It is calculated from the sum of The percentage of the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variable big hit game based on the pattern C in the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R type game is the expectation of the special 2R probability variable big hit game when the special 2R type game appears. Probability expectation (%) for the existence of a certain probability variation state. That is, this probability variation expectation (%) is the expectation for a winning game in which the winning game is in a high-probability lottery state.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the ratio of the appearance of special 2R probability variation hit games out of the appearance rate (%) of special 2R games is the ratio of the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games. The appearance rate (%) of each hit game is set so as to be larger (higher) than the ratio of the appearance of 2R probability variation big hit games. That is, in the present embodiment, the winning probability (hit and jackpot) and the winning probability (special symbol) of the winning probability (special figure distribution random number) of the winning (big hit and small hit) wins so as to have such a relationship of appearance rate (%) Distribution mode) is set.

  As a result, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when the special winning opening 28 is opened by the normal 2R game and the special 2R game (the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game), In the embodiment, the probability variation expectation (%) changes according to whether or not the first winning opening 28 is opened and whether or not the third opening is reached. In addition, in FIG. 12, the probability variation expected degree (%) to the 2nd decimal place after rounding off the 3rd decimal place is shown.

  Specifically, the probability variation expectation (%) at the start of opening the big winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (shown as “start” in FIG. 12) is in the low probability lottery state. Out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbols B to E under certain conditions, it is about 6.45% calculated from the proportion of winning games based on symbols B and C. Also, the probability variation expectation (%) at the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (shown as “starting time” in FIG. 12) is in a high probability lottery state. Of the total of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbols B to E, the total is about 23.53% calculated from the proportion of winning games based on symbols B and C. For this reason, the probability variation expectation (%) when the type of winning game cannot be determined is about 6.45% under the condition of non-probability variation, and about 23.53 under the condition of probability variation. %.

  In addition, after the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the expected change rate (%) when the third opening is not started (indicated as “3 times not reached” in FIG. 12). Is about 0.79% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol B out of the total of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol B and symbol E under the low probability lottery condition It becomes. In addition, after the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the expected change rate (%) when the third opening is not started (indicated as “3 times not reached” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 7.41% calculated from the ratio of winning games based on symbol B out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol B and symbol E under the high probability lottery condition It becomes. For this reason, the probability variation expectation (%) in the case where it can be normally determined that the game is a 2R game is about 0.79% under the non-probability condition, and is approximately 7 under the condition of the probability modification condition. .41%.

  In addition, the probability change expectation (%) when the third opening is started after the opening of the special winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (indicated as “3 times arrival” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 31.03% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol C out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol C and symbol D under low probability lottery conditions. It becomes. In addition, the probability change expectation (%) when the third opening is started after the opening of the special winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (indicated as “3 times arrival” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 31.03% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol C out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol C and symbol D under high probability lottery conditions. It becomes. For this reason, the probability variation expectation (%) when it can be determined that the game is a special 2R game is approximately 31.03% under the conditions of the non-probability variation state and the probability variation state.

  According to this, in the present embodiment, the special winning opening 28 is opened after the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, rather than at the start of the winning game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R system game. When the special winning opening 28 is opened in the opening / closing operation mode, the probability of change (%) is increased. In the present embodiment, the probability of expected change (%) increases as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened increases, especially after the start of the winning game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game.

  In this embodiment, the expected change expectation (%) when the type of winning game cannot be determined due to the concealment game or the guess game is about 6.45% under the non-probability condition. , And about 23.53% under conditions that are probabilistic. In the present embodiment, the probability variation expectation (%) in the case where it can be determined that the game is a normal 2R game based on the guess game is about 0.79% under the non-probability variation condition, and the probability variation It is about 7.41% under the condition of the state. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability variation expectation (%) in the case where it is possible to determine that the game is a special 2R game based on the guess game performance is approximately 31.03% under the condition of the non-probability variation state and the certain variation state. . In the present embodiment, the probability variation expectation (%) in the case where it is possible to determine that the game is not a small hit game from the display content of the round notification device RH is 100% when the normal 2R game can be determined. When the special 2R game can be discriminated, it is about 31.03% under the condition of the non-probability change state and the probability change state. The probability variation expectation (%) of the present embodiment is an element for estimating the type of winning game at the time of estimating the type of winning game in the estimation game property. Note that, when it is possible to determine that the game is a small hit game from the display content of the round notification device RH due to the guess game, the probability change expectation (%) for the hit game at that time is 0%. In this way, the player enjoys a game based on the probability variation expectation (%) described above by selecting each game characteristic.

  Depending on the situation of the game, the probability variation expectation (%) may be biased. In particular, in the probability variation state, the probability variation state is continued regardless of whether the game is a small hit game or a 2R probability variation big hit game. Therefore, the substantial probability change expectation (%) in “not reached 3 times” shown in FIG. 12 may be 100%.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
On the sub-integrated control board 36, an overall control CPU 36a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 36b for storing a control program for the overall control CPU 36a, and writing and reading of necessary data are performed. An overall control RAM 36c is provided. The overall control CPU 36a is connected to the overall control ROM 36b and the overall control RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the effect display control board 37, a display control CPU 37a capable of executing a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 37b for storing a control program for the display control CPU 37a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 37c is provided. An effect display device 21 (image display unit GH) is connected to the display control CPU 37a. Further, the display control CPU 37a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 37b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
First, as the control content executed by the main control board 35, the control content related to the execution of the symbol variation game and the normal symbol variation game will be described.

  When the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 receives a game ball in the upper start winning port 24 or the lower start winning port 25 and inputs a detection signal output by the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball. Then, a hold determination is made as to whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 35c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. When the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a obtains the random number for hit determination and the random number for special figure distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and holds the values for the special symbol hold. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of memories. The main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the reserved memory number for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit number when the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of stored memories = 4), Neither the special figure distribution random value is acquired.

  The main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the big hit stored in the main control ROM 35b. The determination value is compared, and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a big hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that performs the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is the win lottery means. In the big hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the big probability determination value for low probability with the value of the random number for winning determination when the gaming state is an uncertain change state (the probability of winning is low), and the gaming state Is a probable change state (the probability of winning is high), the high probability jackpot determination value is compared with the value of the random number for determination. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 35a, which has determined the big hit, reads the value of the special figure distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and is a symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 22 based on the value. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each type of jackpot game as described above, the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the random value for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines the variation pattern based on the acquired value.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the main control. The small hit determination value stored in the ROM 35b is compared, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a small hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that performs the small hit determination (small hit lottery) serves as the winning lottery means. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for special determination hit determination and the small hit determination value match), the main control CPU 35a determines the small hit. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hits reads the value of the special symbol distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and based on the value, the symbol variation game executed in the special symbol display device 22 A small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hit acquires the random value for distribution pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines the variation pattern based on the acquired value.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that determines the type (winning seed) of the winning game (big hit game and small hit game) when winning (big hit and small hit) is won. It becomes a decision means.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination and the small hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 35a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display device 22. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the deviation acquires the random value for reach determination from the main control RAM 35c, compares the acquired value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and determines the error. Reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute reach production.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (execution of an outlier reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 35a acquires a random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value. Select and determine the variation pattern.

  On the other hand, if the reach determination result is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 35a acquires the random value for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and changes based on the acquired value. Select and determine the pattern.

  The main control CPU 35a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a generates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game, and first outputs the variation pattern designation command at the start of the symbol variation game. . Further, the main control CPU 35a generates a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol that designates a special symbol, and outputs the stop symbol designation command next after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 35a generates a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol stop command is changed to the variation symbol. Output as time passes.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 22 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and the special symbol (hit symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. ) Or off symbol)). Further, when the main control CPU 35a displays the winning symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) as the special symbol, the fixed control is displayed during the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) to be given thereafter. It is supposed to continue the state. That is, during the winning game (big hit game or small hit game), the player can discriminate the type of special symbol, and the player can discriminate the type of hit game given from the special symbol. It has become.

  The main control CPU 35a, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 and receives a detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW4 that has detected the game ball, is stored in the main control RAM 35c. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for regular symbols is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 (+1) to the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols, and sets the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for normal symbols is rewritten. For example, the main control CPU 35a turns on three hold lamps when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol after rewriting is “3”. If the hold determination is affirmatively determined, the main control CPU 35a acquires the random number for determination per universal symbol from the main control RAM 35c, and associates the value with the number of reserved memories for normal symbols. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the control RAM 35c. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of reserved memories for normal symbols = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the number of reserved memories for normal symbols exceeding the upper limit, and for normal symbols. The random number for hit detection is not acquired.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a reads the random number value for determining per common figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the normal symbol variation game, and stores this value and the main control ROM 35b. It compares with the judgment value per common figure, and judges per common figure whether or not it is per common figure. In the base hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the low probability base per hit determination value with the base hit determination random number value when the gaming state is the non-changing state, and the gaming state is When the state is variable, the judgment value for the high probability common figure is compared with the value of the random number for the common figure judgment.

  The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 23 with the start of the normal symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts normal symbol variation by starting the normal symbol variation game, and determines a normal symbol (a symbol for a regular symbol or a symbol for deviating a regular symbol) determined when a predetermined variation time has elapsed. Is displayed with a fixed stop. The main control CPU 35a sets a different variation time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game in accordance with the game state at the start of the normal symbol variation game, and displays the normal symbol in a fixed stop state. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a sets “7000 (ms)” as the variation time in the non-variable state, and is shorter than the non-variable state as the variation time in the variable state. The time “1100 (ms)” is set. Thereby, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game performed in the variable state is shortened compared to the variation time of the symbol variation game performed in the non-variable state.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
When the variation control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control substrate 36 outputs the variation pattern designation command to the effect display control substrate 37 and the sound / lamp control substrate 38. In addition, when a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol is input and the big hit symbol is designated by the stop symbol designation command, the overall control CPU 36a controls the big hit symbol of the designated special symbol. This is stored in the RAM 36c. When the overall control CPU 36a receives a symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 36a outputs the command to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes the symbol variation game executed on the effect display device 21 based on the variation pattern type designated by the variation pattern designation command and the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. The symbol combination of the decorative symbols derived in is determined.

  More specifically, if the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is the symbol A corresponding to the 16R probability variation big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a uses the symbol combination of the ornament symbols. The symbol combination ([111], etc.) having the same symbols in all the columns is determined. On the other hand, if the stop symbol (special symbol) is a symbol B and symbol E corresponding to a normal 2R game, or a symbol C and symbol D corresponding to a special 2R game, the overall control CPU 36a displays a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped. As a symbol combination, a symbol combination (such as [1 * 1]) consisting of code symbols is determined.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol combination of a decorative symbol that can recognize the loss. At this time, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines the outlier symbol combination that forms the reach. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines the offending symbol combination that does not form the reach. Then, the overall control CPU 36 a that has determined the decorative symbol outputs a stop symbol designating command for the decorative symbol designating the decorative symbol to the effect display control board 37.

Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes control related to the transition of the effect mode.
More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a determines the type of winning symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command for special symbols, and each designation command to be described later relating to the operation / non-operation of the variable state. The transition mode of the effect mode is controlled based on the set value of the effect mode flag. Further, the overall control CPU 36a is configured to execute a falling lottery during the stay in the middle expectation mode MT. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 36c. When setting the effect mode flag, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the effect mode during the stay to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
When the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 receives the variation pattern designation command, the display content is selected so that the variation corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is selected, and the symbol variation game is played with the variation. The display content of the display unit GH is controlled. At this time, the display control CPU 37a generates display data for displaying an image according to the effect contents using the image data of the display control ROM 37b based on the selected effect contents.

  Then, the display control CPU 37a 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 image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle (for example, every 4 ms). When the display control CPU 37a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the image display unit GH causes the image display unit GH to display the symbol designated by the stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol on the image display unit GH. The display content is controlled to end the symbol variation game.

  Further, the display control CPU 37a executes control related to the transition of the effect mode. Specifically, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device 21 in the indicated effect mode when the effect instruction command for instructing the effect mode during the stay is input. For example, when the medium expectation mode MT is staying, the effect display device 21 displays a display image in the medium expectation mode MT.

  Next, as control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the effect display control board 37, control contents relating to execution of the winning game (big hit game and small hit game) will be described.

  The main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 gives a winning game (a big hit game and a small hit game) after the symbol variation game as a winning effect (a big hit effect and a small hit effect) ends. At this time, the main control CPU 35a determines the bonus game (big hit) to be given from the kind of special symbols (big hit symbol and small hit symbol) determined immediately before the start of the symbol variation game that becomes the hit effect (big hit effect and small hit effect). The type of the game and the small hit game) is specified, and control according to the specified hit game is executed.

  The main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command at the start of the winning game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and further ends an ending command at the end of the winning game in each winning game specified based on the special symbol. Is output. The opening command instructs the start of the opening (effect), the round command instructs the start of the round game (effect), and the ending command instructs the start of the ending (effect). Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening 28 at the start of each round game in each winning game specified based on the special symbol. The opening signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 27, the actuator is actuated by the opening signal, and the special winning opening door 27 is opened. In addition, the main control CPU 35a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game in each per game specified based on the special symbol, and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SW3 during the round game. Count the number of entered game balls. The main control CPU 35a satisfies the end condition of either the round game time has passed or the upper limit number of game balls have been entered in each round game of each jackpot game. A closing signal for closing the winning opening 28 is output. The closing signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 27, the actuator is operated by the closing signal, and the special winning opening door 27 is closed. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that controls the opening of the special winning opening 28 serves as an opening control means.

Hereinafter, specific control contents executed by the main control CPU 35a will be described for each winning game specified based on a special symbol.
First, the 2R probability variation big hit game among the normal 2R games will be described.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time shown in FIG. The measurement of the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) is started. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 1 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time T2 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and the round game shown in FIG. The measurement of the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as time starts. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (second opening), and if the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 2 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the 2R probability variation big hit game is completed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the round game of the second round is completed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after elapse of the interval time T3 (17200 (ms)) and measures the ending effect time T4 (4 (ms)). Start. After the ending effect time elapses, the main control CPU 35a ends the 2R probability variation big hit game. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is to be given, and also sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the change state is to be assigned according to the gaming state at the time of winning. 1 ”is set. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded. Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability change command when the probability variation flag is set to “1” and a non-probability variation command when the probability variation flag is set to “0” to the sub integrated control board 36 (the overall control CPU 36a). To do. Further, the main control CPU 35a sends a sub-variable control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) to a variable command when the operation flag is set to "1" and a non-change command when the operation flag is set to "0". Output to. The main control CPU 35a controls the round notification device RH to turn on the two-time notification lamp RHb that notifies “twice” (other than the small hit game) as the number of round games during the 2R probability variable big hit game. . For this reason, in the round notification device RH, during the 2R probability variation big hit game, the player can confirm that the big hit game other than the small hit game is based on the display content in which the small hit notification lamp RHc is not lit.

In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that controls the display content of the round notification device RH in accordance with the winning game to be assigned serves as the hit notification control means.
As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes each round game of the 2R probability variable big hit game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the big winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T1).

Next, a specific description will be given of the small hit game among the normal 2R games.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a corresponding round command to start the round game, and at the same time, the opening time T1 (600) corresponding to the round game time shown in FIG. 4B. (Ms)) and one interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) are added to start measurement (3200 (ms)). In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a opens the big winning opening 28 twice as long as the upper limit number of game balls are not entered, as shown in FIG. 4B. . The main control CPU 35a that starts the round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first big winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time since the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the first big winning prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is closed (first closing). At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening 28. Next, when the interval time T2 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal to open the second prize winning opening 28.

In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T3 (17200 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T4 (4 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the small hit game. In the case of a small hit game, since the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main control CPU 35a controls the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit even during the small hit game and after the end of the small hit game. Will maintain the gaming state at the time of winning. That is, in accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a does not output a command for designating a gaming state such as a probability change command or a change command. In addition, during the small hit game, the main control CPU 35a controls the round notification device RH to turn on the small hit notification lamp RHc that notifies “one time” (small hit game) as the number of round games. For this reason, in the round notification device RH, during the small hit game, the player can confirm that the small hit game is based on the display content in which the small hit notification lamp RHc is lit.

As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes the small hit game to be executed in the first opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 for a time shorter than the round game time (opening time T1).
Next, the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game, which are special 2R games, will be described together.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a performs two rounds of opening time T1 (600 (ms)) and one round of opening time T6 (5000 (ms)) shown in FIG. The measurement of the time (10200 (ms)) obtained by adding the interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) is started. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a opens the big winning opening 28 three times on condition that the upper limit number of game balls have not entered, as shown in FIG. 4 (c). . The main control CPU 35a that starts the round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first big winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time since the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the first big winning prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is closed (first closing). At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening 28. Next, when the interval time T2 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal to open the second prize winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the second big prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is closed (second closing). At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) set between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28. Next, when the set interval time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal to open the third big prize opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (third opening), and when the opening time T6 (5000 (ms)) has elapsed, the third big winning prize opening. In order to end the opening of 28 and end the first round game, a closing signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time T2 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and the round game shown in FIG. 4C. The measurement of the opening time T7 (6200 (ms)) which becomes time is started. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (the fourth opening), and if the opening time T7 (6200 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 2 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output. As a result, the round game of the special 2R game ends.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T4 (4 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the special 2R game. Accordingly, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” in the probability variation flag for a special 2R probability variation big hit game (symbol C), and assigns a variation state according to the gaming state at the time of winning. “1” is set to the operation flag shown. In addition, the main control CPU 35a indicates that a special 2R non-probability big hit game (symbol D) sets “0” in the probability change flag and gives a variable state according to the game state at the time of winning. Set the operation flag to “1”. In this case (in the case of a special 2R non-probable big hit game), when setting the operation flag to “1”, the main control CPU 35a sets the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to 100. In addition, the main control CPU 35a, during the special 2R system game (special 2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game), in the round notification device RH, notifies the player twice of the number of round games. Control to turn on RHb. For this reason, in the round notification device RH, during the special 2R system game, the player can confirm that it is a big hit game other than the small hit game from the display content in which the small hit notification lamp RHc is not lit. .

  As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes the first round game of the special 2R game to be executed in the first opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 for a time shorter than the round game time (opening time T1). Also, the main control CPU 35a has a longer time than the time of the first release control (release time T1) until the round game time elapses after the execution of the first release control in the first round game of the special 2R game. During (opening time T5), it is executed by the third opening control for opening the special winning opening 28. In addition, the main control CPU 35a causes the second round game of the special 2R game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T6).

Next, the 16R probability variation big hit game will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T9 (6000 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a starts to measure the opening time T10 (25000 (ms)) for one time, which is the round game time shown in FIG. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a opens the first winning opening 28 (the first opening) and then the end condition (elapse of the opening time T10 or the upper limit number of balls entered) is satisfied in the first round game. If so, a close signal is output to end the first round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main control CPU 35a controls round games from the second round (second opening) to the sixteenth round (16th opening). Thereby, the round game of 16R probability variation big hit game is completed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T2 (2000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T11 (11000 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the 16R probability variation big hit game. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability variation flag and sets “1” to the operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 35a controls to turn on the 16-time notification lamp RHa that notifies “16 times” as the number of round games in the round notification device RH during the 16R probability variation big hit game. For this reason, in the round notification device RH, during the 16R probability variable big hit game, the player can confirm that the big hit game other than the small hit game is based on the display content in which the small hit notification lamp RHc is not lit.

  As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes each round game of the 16R probability variation big hit game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T15).

  Then, the main control CPU 35a that ended each winning game, when the number of reserved memory for the special symbol at the end of each winning game is “1” or more, relates to the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball. A process is performed and a symbol variation game is performed. On the other hand, when the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol at the end of the big hit is “0”, the main control CPU 35a causes the symbol variation game to be executed until a game ball enters the start winning ports 24 and 25. Without waiting.

When input, the process related to these hit games is executed. When this process is started, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the hit game effect. In this case, the in-game effect is continuously executed until the normal 2R game and the special 2R game are completed (until the end of the ending effect time).

  In this case, if it is a normal 2R game, the overall control CPU 36a directs the execution of the corresponding effect mode until the normal 2R game ends and the next symbol variation game starts. Are output to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38, respectively. The overall control CPU 36a instructs the execution of the high-accuracy mode MK if the winning state is in the variable state and stays in the high-accuracy mode MK. If there is, the execution of the high expectation mode MS is instructed. The overall control CPU 36a instructs the execution of the medium expectation mode MT if the winning state is the non-changeable state.

  In this case, if it is a special 2R game, the overall control CPU 36a directs the execution of the corresponding effect mode until the end of the special 2R game and the start of the next symbol variation game. Are output to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38, respectively. The overall control CPU 36a instructs the execution of the high expectation mode MS if the winning time is in the variable state and the high accuracy mode MK is staying. The overall control CPU 36a instructs the execution of the medium expectation mode MT if the winning state is the non-changeable state.

  In addition, when the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped is a jackpot symbol (symbol A) corresponding to the 16R probability variable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a inputs a round command corresponding to the first round, and relates to the 16R probability variable big hit game. Execute the process. When this processing is started, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of a round effect corresponding to the first round of the 16R probability variation big hit game. Thereafter, every time a round command is input, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of a round effect of the round game corresponding to the command. Next, when the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of an ending effect corresponding to the 16R probability variation big hit game. Then, the overall control CPU 36a issues an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the corresponding effect mode (here, the high probability mode MK) until the 16R probability variation big hit game is finished and the next symbol variation game is started. Output.

In the present embodiment, the sub-general control board 36 (general control CPU 36a) that instructs the content of the effect during the winning game is the effect execution control means.
Next, control of the opening / closing blade 26 at the time of normal symbol hit will be described as the control content executed by the main control board 35.

The end of the second opening is the end of the second round game in the 2R probability variable big hit game, the end of the round game in the small hit game, and is usually 2R from the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28. This is a scene where the player can determine whether the game is a special game or a special 2R game. That is, in the effect during the hit game before the effect effect, it is notified that the big winning opening 28 is controlled in the same opening / closing operation mode between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game. Also, in the effect production, the progress of the period in which the special winning opening 28 is controlled in the same opening / closing operation mode between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game is notified. Further, in the effect during the hit game after the effect effect, it is notified that the special winning opening 28 is controlled in different opening / closing operation modes between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game.

  For this reason, the player can guess the type of winning game by confirming the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 after effect production. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14C, the effect display device 21 notifies the player that the effect effect has been executed by changing the background. Regarding the execution of the effect effect, the display control CPU 37a may instruct the execution by measuring the elapsed time or may be incorporated in advance as effect data for the effect during the hit game. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 (image display unit GH) serves as a period notification unit.

  If the 2R probability variable big hit game is being played during the hit game, the special symbol display device 22 continuously displays a 7-segment symbol capable of recognizing symbol B ("B") as shown in FIG. Has been. Further, during the hit game effect, if it is a 2R probability variable big hit game, in the round notification device RH, as shown in FIG. 13A, the two-time notification lamp RHb is continuously lit. In addition, during the effect during the hit game, if the game is a small hit game, the special symbol display device 22 continues the 7-segment symbol that can recognize the symbol E (“E”) as shown in FIG. It is displayed. Further, during the hit game, if the game is a small hit game, in the round notification device RH, as shown in FIG. 13B, the small hit notification lamp RHc is continuously lit. In addition, during the effect during the hit game, if it is a special 2R game, the special symbol display device 22 will display the symbol C ("C") or the special 2R if it is a special 2R probability variation big hit game, as shown in FIG. 13 (c). For a non-probable big hit game, a 7-segment symbol that can recognize symbol D (“D”) is continuously displayed. In addition, during the performance during the hit game, in the case of a special 2R game, in the round notification device RH, as shown in FIG. 13 (c), the two-time notification lamp RHb is continuously lit.

  For this reason, the player can guess the type of winning game by confirming the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 during the effect during winning game. Further, the player can guess the type of winning game by confirming the display content of the round notification device RH during the winning game effect. Further, the player can determine the type of winning game by confirming the display content of the special symbol display device 22 during the winning game effect. On the other hand, the player pays attention to the effect display device 21 during the winning game effect, and does not check the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28, the round notification device RH, or the special symbol display device 22, thereby winning game. The type of can not be determined.

  When the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect instruction command for instructing the effect mode from the overall control CPU 36a at the end of the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, the display on the effect display device 21 is displayed in the indicated effect mode. Control the content. In the effect display device 21, “to high accuracy mode” shown in FIG. 14 (d) when shifting to the high accuracy mode MK, and “to high expectation mode” shown in FIG. 14 (e) when shifting to the high anticipation mode MS. However, at the time of transition to the medium expectation mode MT, “to medium expectation mode” shown in FIG. 14F is displayed as an image.

  Further, the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of various effects when the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a is a big hit symbol (symbol A) corresponding to the 16R probability variation big hit game. Then, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so as to execute various effects corresponding to each input. Further, the effect display device 21 develops effects that indicate the start of the 16R probability variable big hit game, the number of round games, and the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game.

  The voice / lamp control board 38 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 15a to 15c and the voice output mode of the speakers 16a and 16b when various commands are input. That is, the voice / lamp control board 38 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect designated by these commands, similarly to the effect display control board 37.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Based on the effect during the hit game on the effect display device 21 and its time, the player cannot discriminate the type of the hit game (either a normal 2R game or a special 2R game). In addition, the player can discriminate whether the game is a normal 2R game or a special 2R game from the opening / closing operation mode of the special prize winning port 28 of the normal 2R game and the special 2R game. Also, from the round notification device RH, the player can determine whether or not the game is a small hit game. For this reason, the player who wants to enjoy the secret game property can satisfy his / her hope by paying attention to the effect display device 21. Further, a player who wants to enjoy the guessing game can satisfy his / her hope by paying attention to the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and the round notification device RH. Therefore, by providing a configuration that makes it difficult to determine the type of winning game and a configuration that can estimate the type of winning game, it is possible to satisfy the player's wishes and improve the interest of the game.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the player can discriminate the type of winning game from the display content of the special symbol display device 22. For this reason, a player who wants to enjoy the notification game can satisfy his / her wish by paying attention to the special symbol display device 22.

  (3) Further, in the present embodiment, the number of types of special symbol hit symbols (big hit symbols or small hit symbols) is relatively small. For this reason, from the display content of the special symbol display device 22, it is easier to discriminate the type of winning game than when the number of winning symbols (big winning symbol or small winning symbol) is larger than that in the present embodiment (five types). .

  (4) In the round notification device RH, whether or not the game is a small hit game is continuously notified until the hit game time (in this embodiment, time T5 (“20408 (ms)”)) elapses. This can reduce the possibility that the notification of whether or not the game is a small hit game is overlooked. Thereby, the precision which can satisfy | fill the hope of the player who desires confirmation of the display content in round alerting | reporting apparatus RH can be improved. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved with high accuracy by increasing the accuracy that can satisfy the player's desire.

  (5) The special winning opening 28 is controlled to have the same opening / closing operation mode from the start to the middle of the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game. It can be made easy to distinguish. Thereby, the precision which can satisfy | fill the hope of the player who wants to confirm the difference by the opening / closing operation | movement mode of the special winning opening 28 can be improved. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved with high accuracy by increasing the accuracy that can satisfy the player's desire.

  (6) In the effect display device 21, the progress of the period in which the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is controlled in the same manner between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game is notified, so The difference in the opening / closing operation mode can be further easily distinguished. Thereby, the precision which can satisfy | fill the hope of the player who desires the confirmation of the difference in the open mode of the special winning opening 28 can further be improved. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved with higher accuracy by increasing the accuracy with which the player's desire can be satisfied.

  (7) By providing the effect display device 21, the special winning opening 28, the round notification device RH, and the special symbol display device 22 on the game board YB, it is possible to allow the player to check these accurately during the game. . Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved with higher accuracy by increasing the accuracy with which the player's desire can be satisfied.

  (8) Further, in the present embodiment, the special winning opening 28, the effect display device 21, the round notification device RH, and the special symbol display device 22 are arranged on the game board YB in a positional relationship with different lines of sight. I did it. For this reason, when paying attention to each of the effect display device 21, the special winning opening 28, the round notification device RH, and the special symbol display device 22, it is necessary to consciously look at each. Therefore, while paying attention to the effect display device 21, the display contents of the big winning opening 28, the round notification device RH, and the special symbol display device 22 are visually recognized, or special attention is paid to the round notification device RH. Occurrence of a situation where the display content of the symbol display device 22 is visually recognized can be prevented.

  (9) In the round notification device RH, it is informed whether or not the game is a small hit game, and the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable big hit game cannot be discriminated. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the guess game performance from being deteriorated by causing the player to grasp the type of game more than necessary.

  (10) In the round notification device RH, information (specified number of rounds) according to the number of round games constituting the awarded game is notified. In addition, regarding the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable big hit game, the number of round games to be configured is set to be the same, so that these cannot be distinguished. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the guess game performance from being deteriorated by causing the player to grasp the type of game more than necessary.

  (11) In the round notification device RH, even when it is necessary to notify the number of round games configured in accordance with the awarded hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable change Made it impossible to identify big hit games. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the guess game performance from being deteriorated by causing the player to grasp the type of game more than necessary.

  (12) With regard to the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28, the number of times the big prize opening 28 is opened through the winning game is different between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game. Thereby, it becomes easy to understand the difference in the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28, and the accuracy that can satisfy the player's desire can be further enhanced. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved with higher accuracy by increasing the accuracy with which the player's desire can be satisfied.

  (13) In the special 2R game, the number of prize balls can be obtained more than the 2R probability change big hit game and the small hit game by the release by the third opening and the subsequent round game. And by making it easier for special 2R games that can win a lot of prize balls to appear, there is an increase in the arrival of scenes that enjoy each of the game features (secret game feature, guess game feature, notification game feature) of this embodiment If this is done, the chance for the player to win a prize ball will be greatly increased. On the other hand, the advent of the scenes that entertain each game of this embodiment by making it easier to appear small hit games that do not affect the transition of the lottery probability state and can not win many prize balls Even if this is increased, it is possible to suppress a significant increase in the chance for the player to win a prize ball. Therefore, even if it is a configuration in which a prize ball can be obtained in a special 2R game, a scene in which each game characteristic of this embodiment can be enjoyed while suppressing a significant increase in the chance of obtaining a prize ball during the game is suitable. Can arrive.

  (14) In the normal 2R system game, the number of game balls for the maximum number of balls entered (9 balls in this embodiment) is made difficult to win more than the special 2R system game while the large winning opening 28 is opened. As a result, the normal 2R system game is almost finished as the round game time elapses, and a difference between the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game can be provided. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to know that a prize ball can be acquired in the special 2R game.

  (15) Even if it is easy for a small hit game to appear, it is possible to suppress a significant increase in the chance for the player to win a prize ball. Furthermore, in a scene where the player is inferred whether or not the probability change state comes due to the special 2R system game, the player can also acquire many prize balls.

  (16) If the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in one round game of the normal 2R system game is made easy to win the game balls of the upper limit number (9 balls in this embodiment), The open / close operation mode of the special winning opening 28 may be closed on condition that the upper limit number (9 balls in this embodiment) has been reached. In such a case, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the normal 2R system game becomes indefinite according to the winning situation of the game ball. On the other hand, by making it difficult for a maximum number of game balls 28 (9 balls in this embodiment) to be awarded for the total opening time of the grand prize opening 28 in one round game of a normal 2R game, In most cases, the opening / closing operation mode is closed on the condition that the opening time has been reached. As a result, the opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the normal 2R game becomes constant, and the player can be surely recognized of the opening / closing operation mode. In addition, in the case of special 2R games, when the big prize opening 28 is opened only for the normal 2R type games, the opening time of the big prize opening 28 becomes constant, and the player can be surely recognized the opening / closing operation mode. it can.

  (17) In the special 2R game, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the first round game is set to the same time as the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the round games after the first round game. According to this, in the special 2R game, it becomes possible to acquire a prize ball that can be acquired in the round game after the first round game even in the first round game.

  (18) The main control board 35 (the main control CPU 35a) calculates each winning game based on the probability of winning the winning lottery (big winning lottery and small winning lottery) and the probability of determining each winning type (special symbol). The relationship of the appearance rate is as shown below. In other words, the proportion of the appearance rate of the special 2R probability variation big hit game in the appearance rate of the special 2R type game is larger than the proportion of the appearance rate of the 2R probability variation big hit game in the appearance rate of the normal 2R type game. For this reason, in the win game, the probability change probability is higher in the case where the big prize opening 28 is opened after the number of times the game is opened than in the case where the special prize opening 28 is opened as many times as the number of the 2R games. Further, in the winning game, the probability change probability is higher than in the case where the big winning opening 28 is opened by the number of times of the normal 2R game. In the win game, the probability change probability is higher when the special winning opening 28 is further opened after the normal number of 2R games are released than when the win game is started. As a result, the probability variation expectation is changed for each scene in the winning game, and after the start of the winning game, the probability variation expectation is increased as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened. Therefore, by changing the probability of expectation change every time the special winning opening 28 in the winning game is opened, it can be used as an element for estimating the type of winning game.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, as the special hit game, a big hit game that gives an uncertain change state (low probability lottery state) after the end of the hit game can be set. In this case, the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 is the same in the big hit game corresponding to the first high probability game and the special hit game, and also corresponds to the second high probability game and the low probability game. It is sufficient if the jackpot game is the same. On the other hand, in this case, the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 corresponds to the big hit game corresponding to the first high probability game and the special hit game, the second high probability game and the low probability game. Any configuration can be used as long as the player can discriminate in the hit game. In this case, any configuration may be used as long as the player can determine whether the game is a special hit game or other game based on the display content of the round notification device RH.

  As an example, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), in the special per game, the number of rounds is “2” and the special winning opening 28 is opened 3 times and 2R 3 times are opened to give an uncertain change state. Set non-probability per game. Further, for the first high-probability winning game, a 3R three-time opening probable per game is set in which the specified number of rounds is “3” and the special winning opening 28 is opened three times and a certain probability change state is given. Further, for the second high-probability game, a 3R 4-time open-probability game in which the specified number of rounds is “3” and the special winning opening 28 is opened four times and a probability variation state is given is set. In addition, for the low probability game, a 3R four-time open non-probable per game is set in which the specified number of rounds is “3” and the special winning opening 28 is opened four times and a non-probable change state is given. Then, in the winning game with the same number of times of opening, the big winning opening 28 is controlled in the same opening / closing operation mode. In this other example, the small hitting notification lamp RHc of the round notification device RH is changed to a two-time notification lamp, and the twice-time notification lamp RHb is changed to a three-time notification lamp. In this case, in the round notification device RH, it is possible to determine that the game is a special hit game by emitting the notification lamp twice in the 2R3 open uncertain variable hit game. Further, in the round notification device RH, it is determined that a game other than the special hit game is made by emitting the notification lamp three times in the 3R3 open probability change game, the 3R4 open probability change game, and the 3R4 open probability change game. obtain. In this case, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and other appearance rates can be realized by changing the mode of the present embodiment to correspond.

  As another example, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the special winning game has a specified round number of “3 times” and the grand prize opening 28 is opened four times and an uncertain change state is given. 3R4 Open Uncertainty Per Change game is set. Further, for the first high-probability game, a 2R 4-time open-probability game is set in which the specified number of rounds is “2” and the special winning opening 28 is opened four times and a certain probability change state is given. Further, for the second high-probability game, a 2R 2-time open-probability game is set in which the specified number of rounds is “2” and the special winning opening 28 is opened twice and a certain probability change state is given. In addition, in the low probability winning game, a 2R two-time open non-probable per game where the specified round number is “2” and the large winning opening 28 is opened twice and a non-probable change state is given is set. Then, in the winning game with the same number of times of opening, the big winning opening 28 is controlled in the same opening / closing operation mode. In this other example, the small hitting notification lamp RHc of the round notification device RH is changed to a two-time notification lamp, and the twice-time notification lamp RHb is changed to a three-time notification lamp. In this case, in the round notification device RH, it is possible to determine that the game is a special hit game by emitting the notification lamp three times in the 3R4 open uncertain change game. In addition, in the round notification device RH, it is determined that a game other than a special hit game is made by emitting a notification lamp twice in a game of 2R4 open probability change game, 2R2 open probability change game, and 2R2 open probability change game. obtain. In this case, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and other appearance rates can be realized by changing the mode of the present embodiment to correspond.

  In the present embodiment, the interval time T3 before the ending effect in the normal 2R game can be shortened, and the ending effect time T4 can be increased accordingly. In the present embodiment, the time from the start of the hit game to the end of the normal 2R game and the special 2R game (the hit game time) may be set to be the same. In other words, during the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, if the same content and the same time of the game during the same time are executed, the opening effect and the ending effect are set and the time for execution is also set. May be. In addition, the content of the effect during the hit game can be changed. Further, it is only necessary that the effect during hitting game is executed at least by the effect display device 21.

  In the present embodiment, the specified number of rounds can be set to be the same for the big hit game. In this case, it is necessary to change the configuration according to the configuration of the corresponding big hit game for the small hit game. In this case, the specified number of rounds may be three times or four times or more. However, it is preferable to make the change within a range in which some relationship of the prize balls that the player can acquire is maintained.

  In the present embodiment, the hit notification means may be changed as long as the player can discriminate only the small hit game. In this case, if the notification method cannot determine the type of jackpot game even if the number of specified rounds is different in the case of a big hit, the specified number of rounds for each high-winning game and low-winning game is made different. You can also. Moreover, the aspect which alert | reports whether it is a small hit in 7 segment type | molds or the shape of a lamp | ramp may be sufficient as a hit notification means.

  -In this embodiment, you may change arrangement | positioning of the production | presentation display apparatus 21, the big winning opening 28, the round alerting | reporting apparatus RH, and the special symbol display apparatus 22 within the range with the effect of this embodiment. For example, in the positional relationship between the special winning opening 28 and the round notification device RH, the positional relationship may be such that attention can be paid to either one regardless of the line of sight. However, preferably, the effect display device 21 and the means capable of estimating or discriminating other winning games are not simultaneously viewed, and the special symbol display device 22 and the means capable of estimating or determining other winning games are not simultaneously viewed. Arrange.

  In the present embodiment, it is not necessary to notify the scene where the player can determine whether the game is a normal 2R game or a special 2R game from the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28. Moreover, you may alert | report with such a sound | voice or the movable body for production | presentation about such alerting | reporting.

  In this embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 in normal 2R games and the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 in special 2R games are set to different opening / closing operation modes from the first opening. You can also In this case, the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 in the normal 2R game and the opening / closing operation mode of the special prize opening 28 in the special 2R game have the same number of times of opening through the winning game and the total opening time Can be different. In addition, the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 in the normal 2R game and the opening / closing operation mode of the special prize opening 28 in the special 2R game have the same total opening time through the winning game, but the number of times of opening is different. You can also.

  In the present embodiment, the round notification device RH may be notified at least in part during the winning game. However, in this case, it is preferable to set the timing so as not to overlap with the confirmation timing of the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the appearance rate (%) of each game, the ratio of the 2R probability variation per game and the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R game out of the normal 2R game appearance rate (%) Of these, the percentage of the special 2R probability variation big hit game may be different. In other words, when the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is determined, it is only necessary that the player can guess the type of winning game. Further, for example, the appearance rate (%) of 2R probability variation big hit games can be set higher than the appearance rate (%) of special 2R probability variation big hit games.

  In this embodiment, by classifying a plurality of types of special symbols for each of the symbols A, B, C, D, and E, the special symbol is classified as one of the symbols A, B, C, D, and E Can be made difficult for the player to recognize. In this case, the special symbol display device 22 can be set in a lighting manner of a plurality of lamp groups.

  In the present embodiment, during the stay in the high-probability mode MK, depending on whether the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is won, the mode may be shifted to the high expectation mode MS. By doing so, a player who wants to enjoy the secret game property and the guess game property can always satisfy his wishes.

  In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the first round game of the special 2R game is not necessarily the opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the second round game, and is shortened. Can be long. At least the opening / closing operation mode of the first and second grand prize winning openings 28 may be set to be the same as the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game. However, in this case, it is preferable that the player can obtain more prize balls than the prize balls that the player can obtain through the normal 2R game even in the first round game.

  In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R system game can be set to a time that can satisfy the maximum number of balls entered. In this case, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 of the first round and the second round game of each round game of the special 2R game is at least the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R game. It is only necessary to set a time longer than the total opening time.

  -In this embodiment, even if the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 of the first round and the second round game of each round game of the special 2R game is a time when the upper limit number of balls can not be satisfied, It is sufficient that the time is set longer than at least the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R game.

  In the present embodiment, the transition mode of the effect mode can be changed as long as it is a configuration in which normal 2R games and special 2R games cannot be distinguished. For example, the transition mode of the effect mode can be set to the same mode for the normal 2R game and the special 2R game regardless of the presence or absence of the variable state.

  -In this embodiment, the kind of production mode may be changed and a kind can also be divided only by the presence or absence of a change state. That is, in this other example, the difference in expectation as to whether or not the production mode is in a certain change state is not set.

  -In this embodiment, within the range that guarantees the configuration that can guess the type of winning game, the winning probability of winning lottery (big winning lottery and small winning lottery) and special symbols for special figure distribution random numbers (big winning symbol) You may change the distribution mode for. That is, a pachinko gaming machine having specifications that differ from the present embodiment in the big hit lottery and specifications that differ from the present embodiment in the proportion of the big hit that is a promising big hit (probability variation ratio) have the same effects as in the present embodiment.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the time (opening / closing operation | movement aspect), round game time, and each interval time concerning one opening / closing of the special winning opening 28 within the range which can show the effect of this embodiment.

  -In this embodiment, it can also be set as the structure which provided the two big prize winning openings. In this case, for example, the 16R probability variation jackpot game can be developed by the big prize opening 28, and the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game can be developed by the big prize opening provided in addition to the big prize opening 28. Even in such a case, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, it is only necessary that the winning game is developed using the same prize winning opening.

  In the present embodiment, the sub integrated control board 36 may be omitted, and various commands from the main control board 35 may be output to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the upper limit number of entering balls in one round game. Depending on this, the setting range of the total opening time can be expanded. That is, if the upper limit number of entrances is reduced, the time required to enter the upper limit number of entrances in one round game can be set short, while if the upper limit number of entrances is increased, one round game can be performed. The time required to enter the upper limit number of balls can be set longer.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above-described embodiment and other examples are added below.
