Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Pachinko game machine capable of providing a mode equivalent to that of a slot machine, and to provide a means capable of easily executing a presentation requested to announce the game state, etc. <P>SOLUTION: The Pachinko game machine has two starting holes 2110 and 2210 on a first game side and on a second game side respectively, and one starting hole (a starting hole 2410 on a third game side) for supporting the shift to a special game. The game state is shifted (to a first game state on the first game side and a second game state on the first game side) based on the entrance of a game ball into the starting hole on the first game side. If the game state is shifted to the special game based on the entrance of a game ball into the starting hole on the second game side under the second game state on the first game side, the play is easily plunged into a state (the second game state on the third game side) in which a variable member can be more easily opened than in the first game state on the first game side. When the mode of variation of identification information on the third game side to be executed during a prescribed period after a jackpot on the third game side is determined, the mode is determined using a table to be referred to during the period only. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention is a pachinko gaming machine having a normal mode and a specific mode internally, and when a special game is won in the specific mode, it is continuously special compared to a case where the special game is won in the normal mode. The present invention relates to an unprecedented novel pachinko gaming machine that easily shifts to a state where it is easy to win a game.

  The most popular pachinko gaming machine at present is a conventional type 1 gaming machine (a model called a “digipachi”). Here, the game contents of the first type gaming machine will be explained. First, when a game ball enters the start opening, identification information such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol is displayed on the identification information display unit for a predetermined time. Do and stop. Then, when the stopped identification information is in a predetermined mode, the game shifts to a special game in which the variable prize opening that is closed during the normal game is opened. In such a special game, there are usually a plurality of unit games (one round) in which the variable prize opening is opened or closed until a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is reached or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is reached. It is executed once (for example, 15 times). Therefore, since many current gaming machines have a function of firing about 100 shots per minute, it is possible to obtain about 1500 to 2000 shots in a single hit.

Furthermore, in order to be able to win more special games in a short time, recent pachinko machines will shift to special games in two states with different jackpot winning probabilities {predetermined probabilities (eg 1/300) There is a normal gaming state, a probability-changing gaming state that shifts to a special game with a probability higher than the predetermined probability (for example, 1/30). Then, the transition from the normal gaming state to the probability variation gaming state is executed in response to the transition to the special game. Under what conditions the transition to the probability variation gaming state can be roughly classified into the following patterns. The most frequent patterns are divided into a probability variation symbol and a non-probability variation symbol depending on the type of the special symbol that has caused the transition to the special game. For example, when the probability variation symbol and the non-probability variation symbol are in a one-to-one relationship, n consecutive jackpots can be expected at a rate of 100 × (½) ⁿ %. In addition, after the special game is over, there is also a model (ST machine) that shifts to the probability variation gaming state until the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times regardless of the type of the special symbol. Furthermore, there is a model in which whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state is separately determined by lottery regardless of the type of special game.

  Thus, in order to be able to win more special games in a short time, the probability variation function has been adopted in the conventional machine. However, if the winning probability at the time of the probability variation game is remarkably increased as compared with that at the normal game, the number of balls to be obtained per short time becomes too large, resulting in enthusiasm. Therefore, normally, it is set to about 10 times that in the normal gaming state. As a result, even if the player enters the probability-changing game, it takes time to win the next jackpot, causing the player to become frustrated.

  Therefore, in recent years, a novel model as described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed. The model described in this document is the same as the conventional machine, and is a special symbol start opening that triggers the open lottery of the special prize opening, and a variable member attached to the special symbol start opening is an open lottery trigger. And a design start port. Here, in the normal conventional machine described above, the main game is executed based on the game ball entering the special symbol start opening, and the game ball entering the normal symbol start opening supports the normal game. However, in the model described in the document, the main game is executed based on the game ball entering the normal symbol start port, and the game to the special symbol start port is contrary to the conventional machine. The ball entry is positioned as to whether or not the continuous big hit state is continued. As described above, in the model described in the document, since the main game is executed based on the game ball entering the normal symbol start port, the winning probability at the time of the probability variation game related to the normal symbol is determined at the normal game time. Even if it is significantly improved over that of the game, the degree of gambling will be relatively low as compared with the case where the winning probability at the time of the probability variation game regarding the special symbol is remarkably improved than that at the time of the normal game. Therefore, after linking the probability variation gaming state related to the special symbol and the probability variation gaming state related to the normal symbol, the probability variation state entry rate of the special symbol is set high (for example, 90%), and the probability variation of the normal symbol By significantly increasing the winning probability in the gaming state than in the normal gaming state (for example, 1/300 in the normal gaming state and 1/1 in the probability varying gaming state), it is useless until the next jackpot is won Without taking time, it is possible to demonstrate outstanding ball-out performance in a continuous big hit state.

JP 2008-173279 A JP2005312791

  However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, when the gaming state in the normal symbol shifts from the probability variation game to the normal game, the variable member that has been repeatedly opened and closed in a short time does not suddenly open. Since it is obvious at a glance that there is no continuous jackpot state, there is a drawback that it is easy to understand when to stop the game.

  On the other hand, as described in Patent Document 2, in the field of slot machines, apart from the probability variation state, a mode that easily shifts to a continuous jackpot (so-called “high-accuracy mode”) and a mode that hardly shifts (so-called “low-accuracy mode”). Mode "). And, the winning of a specific small role triggers a continuous jackpot. At this time, the former mode is easier to shift to a jackpot. Here, in the slot machine, since it is difficult to know which mode is currently staying, it is difficult to know when to stop the game, and it is possible to improve the operating rate and the fun of the game.

The present invention is directed to purpose thereof is to provide a means capable of achieving interest of improving the game by implementing a new specification that did not exist in the pachinko machine Until now.

Here, the meaning of each term in this specification is explained. First, the term “entered ball” includes both a player who does not pay out a prize ball such as a so-called “through chucker” and a player who pays out a prize ball such as a winning opening. The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Executing the lottery decision” is not limited to the case where the lottery decision is directly executed. For example, identification information (for example, “7” is hit and “−” is lost) is determined by lottery. This also includes the case where the winning lottery is executed indirectly. “First Game Side First Game State”, “First Game Side Second Game State”, “Second Game Side First Game State”, “Second Game Side Second Game State” Refers to any gaming state in two games, for example, a probability variation gaming state in which a lottery to transition to a special game is performed with a higher probability than the normal gaming state, the variation time of the identification information (average time of all variations) than the normal gaming state A short time-saving gaming state. The first gaming side first gaming state (or second gaming side first gaming state) and the first gaming side second gaming state (or second gaming side second gaming state) must be advantageous. In the best mode, the first gaming side first gaming state is the probability variation gaming state and the first gaming side second gaming state is the normal gaming state, but the reverse is also possible. “The third gaming side second gaming state in which the variable member is relatively likely to be in the open state as compared with the third gaming side first gaming state” is compared with the third gaming side first gaming state. The variable member when the winning probability is high, the third game identification information is frequently stopped in a predetermined mode, the variation time of the third game identification information is short, and the third game identification information is stopped in a predetermined mode The open time of is long, or a combination of two or more thereof. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols, normal symbols). “Random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, the first game random number and the second game With regard to random numbers for use, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Variation mode determination random number”, “symbol determination random number” for determining a stop symbol, “hit symbol determination random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, Regarding the third game random number, the “winning random number” related to the opening and closing of the variable member, the “symbol determination random number” for determining the stop symbol of the third game identification information, and the variation mode (or variation of the third game identification symbol) Time ) May include "fluctuation mode determination random number" or the like to determine. “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining a stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol). Even if they are defined as different elements in the claims, they do not necessarily mean different members, and the pachinko gaming machine has a function related to the elements defined in the claims. Judgment should be made based on whether or not For example, when a certain variable winning opening is opened in both the first special game and the second special game, the certain variable winning opening is “the first gaming variable winning opening” or “the second gaming variable winning opening”. But there is. Furthermore, even if it is defined as one element, when there are a plurality of members having the same function, these members all correspond to the one element. The best mode of the present invention will be described below. In the best mode described below, the main game is performed at a support start port (typically a through-chucker without a ball, which is generally called a symbol start port), and a ball is entered into the support start port. Only when the variable member is in the open state, the special game based on entering the main starting port (typically, a winning opening with a ball called a special symbol starting port) is not executed. This is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko machines are mixed. In addition, it is the best mode, and the following aspects regarding the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to.

  Here, before describing each component, general characteristics (processing outline, etc.) in the gaming machine of this type (conventional machine) and characteristics (outline) of the gaming machine according to the best mode will be described.

  First, general characteristics of the gaming machine of this type (conventional machine) will be described. In the gaming machine of this type, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port (normal symbol start gate), the normal symbol hit determination is performed. Here, for example, the normal symbol hit determination is determined as “1/100” to “1/200” in the normal symbol normal gaming state, and “1 / 1.001” in the normal symbol probability variation gaming state. "Is determined to be a win. Next, when the result of the normal symbol hit determination is a win, it becomes a normal symbol hit state, a normal electric accessory (a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter the special symbol start opening and an open in which a game ball can enter) The member that can be changed to a state) is released, and the game ball can enter the normal electric accessory (special symbol start opening). Note that the ordinary electric accessory is closed when a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the ordinary electric accessory or when a predetermined number (for example, five) of game balls have entered the special symbol starting port. . Next, when a game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory (special symbol start opening), a special game transition determination is performed. For example, the special game transition determination is determined to be a big win at “1 / 1.001” regardless of the gaming state, and the special game transition determination process is performed in a short time (for example, 1 second). Next, when the result of the special game transition determination is a big win, a special game in which a special symbol hit state (special game state) is entered and the big prize opening is opened is executed. Since a predetermined number (for example, a maximum of 4) of game balls can be held when the ordinary electric game object is released, if the game balls enter 5 or more when the normal electric game object is opened, the special game Is executed at most (number of reserves + 1) times (for example, up to 5 times) per hit of a normal symbol. Next, the gaming state after the end of the special game is usually determined according to the attribute of the special symbol that triggered the special game. For example, when the special symbol is “7”, the game shifts to the special symbol probability variation, and when the special symbol is “4”, the program shifts to the special symbol non-probability variation. If the special symbol probability variation jackpot, the special symbol probability variation gaming state until the next special game starts (until the next special symbol variation stop display time ends) after the special game ends. (Note that there is also a type called a ST machine, in which a special symbol probability variation gaming state continues until a predetermined number of special symbols fluctuate). On the other hand, the gaming state related to the normal symbol is usually linked to the gaming state of the special symbol. Specifically, if the game state related to the special symbol is a probability variation game, the game state of the normal symbol is also a probability variation game, and normal if the game state related to the special symbol is a non-probability variation game (normal game). The game state of the symbol is also a non-stochastic game (normal game). Here, as described above, a special game is executed a plurality of times per one normal symbol. And it is designed so that the winning lottery of the next normal symbol may be performed after the special game of the plurality of times is completed. Therefore, it is the gaming state of the special symbol after the final special game is completed among the plurality of special games that determines the gaming state at the time of the success / failure lottery of the next normal symbol. If the game state related to the normal symbol after the end of the last special game is the normal symbol probability variation gaming state, the next normal symbol per determination is determined to be “1 / 1.001”, so immediately Next, the next game per normal symbol (maximum of 5 special games) will be played. That is, a game per normal symbol continues (hereinafter, such a state is referred to as “continuous mode”). Note that this type of gaming machine eliminates the difficulty of sticking by making the game per normal symbol (up to five special games) appear as one big hit (special game) (for example, with a liquid crystal effect). ing.

  Next, features (outline) of the gaming machine according to the best mode will be described focusing on differences from the general features. The gaming machine according to the best mode is a “high-accuracy mode” in which it is easy to shift to the continuous mode {a state in which games per ordinary symbol are easily executed continuously (a normal symbol probability variation gaming state in which a normal symbol winning probability is extremely high)}. ”And a“ low accuracy mode ”that is difficult to shift to the continuous mode, and a ball entrance (a winning port in this best mode) for switching the mode (high accuracy mode and low accuracy mode). Yes. Specifically, the gaming state of the normal symbol in the conventional gaming machine has transitioned in a form completely linked to the gaming state of the special symbol, but the gaming machine according to this best mode is the gaming state of the special game It is configured so that the game state of the normal symbol is not completely linked. The gaming machine according to the best mode is (1) special symbol normal gaming state and normal symbol normal gaming state, (2) special symbol probability variation gaming state and normal symbol normal gaming state, and (3) special symbol normal gaming state and normal. There are four game states: a symbol probability variation gaming state, and (4) a special symbol probability variation gaming state and a normal symbol probability variation gaming state. The gaming machine according to the best mode easily shifts to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state (continuous change mode) when it is a big hit in the special symbol probability variation gaming state, and hits a big hit in the special symbol normal gaming state. In some cases, it is difficult to shift to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state (continuous change mode). That is, the special symbol probability variation gaming state is the “high probability mode”, and the special symbol normal gaming state is the “low probability mode”. In addition, the gaming machine according to the best mode has two functions of the conventional first type, and switches the mode (“high accuracy mode” and “low accuracy mode”) at one special figure starting port. As well as other elements (for example, other special figure starting port, normal symbol starting port, large winning port, etc.) as in the conventional game machine of the type It is configured to function. Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the basic structure of the front side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. Pachinko machines are mainly composed of a gaming machine frame and a gaming board. Hereinafter, these will be described in order.

  First, the gaming machine frame of the pachinko gaming machine includes an outer frame 102, a front frame 104, a transparent plate 106, a door 108, an upper ball dish 110, a lower ball dish 112, and a launch handle 116. First, the outer frame 102 is a frame for fixing the pachinko gaming machine to a position where it should be installed. The front frame 104 is a frame body aligned with the opening portion of the outer frame 102, and is attached to the outer frame 102 through a hinge mechanism (not shown) so as to be opened and closed. The front frame 104 includes a mechanism for launching a game ball, a mechanism for detachably storing a game board, a mechanism for guiding or collecting the game ball, and the like. The transparent plate 106 is made of glass or the like and is supported by the door 108. The door 108 is attached to the front frame 104 through an unillustrated hinge mechanism so as to be opened and closed. The upper ball tray 110 has mechanisms for storing game balls, sending the game balls to the launch rail, and extracting the game balls to the lower ball tray 112. The lower ball tray 112 has a mechanism for storing and extracting game balls. Further, a speaker 114 is provided between the upper ball tray 110 and the lower ball tray 112, and a sound effect corresponding to the gaming state or the like is output.

  Next, the game board 120 has a game area 120 defined by an outer rail 122 and an inner rail 124. The game area 120 includes a plurality of game nails and windmills (not shown), various general winning holes, a first special figure start port 2210, a second special figure start port 2110, a general figure start port 2410, A big prize opening 2120, a first special symbol display device 2130, a second special symbol display device 2230, a normal symbol display device 2420, an effect display device 2310, a center decoration 192, and an out port 142 are provided. Hereinafter, each element will be described in detail.

  Next, the first special figure starting port 2210 is installed as a starting winning port corresponding to the first game. Specifically, the first special figure starting port 2210 includes a first special figure starting port incoming ball detecting device 2211, a first special figure starting port electric member 2212, and a first special figure starting port electric member 2212. And a first special figure start opening electric accessory solenoid 2212a for opening and closing. Here, the first special figure starting port entrance detection device 2211 is a sensor for detecting the entrance of a game ball into the first special figure starting port 2210, and the first special figure start indicating the entrance at the time of entering the ball. The entrance ball information is generated. Next, the first special figure starting port electric accessory 2212 has a so-called attacker shape, and is changed into a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won in the first special figure start port 2210 and an open state in which the game ball can be won. In the best mode, the size and shape of the first special figure starting port 2210 and the special winning port 2120 are important, which will be described later.

  Next, the second special figure starting port 2110 is installed as a starting winning port corresponding to the second game, which is arranged in the center of the stage portion exit above the general figure starting port 2410. As a specific configuration, the second special figure start port 2110 includes a second special figure start port entrance detection device 2111. Here, the second special figure start opening entrance detection device 2111 is a sensor that detects the entrance of a game ball into the second special figure start opening 2110. The entrance ball information is generated. As described above, the second special figure starting port 2110 is arranged at the center of the stage portion outlet above the general drawing starting port 2410. Here, in this best mode, although the ball is normally hit into the stage portion, the frequency is not high, and as a result of the distribution at the stage portion, there are still fewer game balls guided to the center of the stage portion exit. As a result, it is extremely difficult for a game ball to enter the second special figure starting port 2110. Further, although not shown in the drawing, near the entrance of the stage portion, members such as nails and windmills that affect the entry into the stage portion are provided. Then, by adjusting the members, it is possible to construct a state in which it is difficult for the game ball to easily enter the stage portion. As a result, the frequency of entering the second special figure starting port 2110 can be adjusted.

  Here, the 2nd special figure starting port 2110 which is one of the characteristic elements of this best form is demonstrated in detail. The second special figure starting port 2110 is a starting port related to the game state transition of the special symbol (that is, two mode transitions of “high accuracy mode” that is easy to shift to the continuous mode and “low accuracy mode” that is difficult to shift). is there. Specifically, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110, the second special symbol starts to change. Here, as will be described later, since the second special symbol is won almost certainly (see Table 1), the game shifts to the second special game almost certainly after the symbol change. Then, after the end of the second special game, with a predetermined probability (see Tables 4 and 8), the “special symbol probability variation game state” or the first After the special game is over, the game shifts to the “special symbol normal game state” where it is difficult to shift to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state. In addition, as described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode obtains an outgoing ball by entering a game ball into the first special figure starting port electric accessory 2212 (first special figure starting port 2210). Therefore, the second special game can hardly get a ball (specifically, as will be described later, since the number of rounds of the special game is small and the opening time of one round is short, the special game) (The number of prize balls paid out by is small). For this reason, the second special figure starting port 2110 is not positioned as a starting port that triggers the acquisition of a prize ball by a special game, but is positioned as a starting port that triggers a transition to a gaming state of a special symbol.

  Here, the rate of entry of game balls into the second special figure starting port 2110 will be described. As described above, the second special figure starting port 2110 mainly functions as a starting port for transitioning the gaming state of the special symbol, and therefore has different game characteristics depending on the rate of game balls entering the starting port. It is possible to build. Specifically, when the entrance rate of game balls to the second special figure starting port 2110 is high, the special symbol probability variation gaming state (high accuracy mode) that is easy to transition to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state is entered. On the other hand, if it becomes a gameability (gameability with modest explosive power) that is easy to get out of the mode, and if the entrance rate of game balls to the second special figure starting port 2110 is low, the normal symbol probability variation game While it is difficult to shift to the special symbol probability variation gaming state (high-accuracy mode) that is easy to shift to a state, it becomes a gameability (gameability with high explosive power) that is difficult to exit the mode.

  Next, the general-purpose start opening 2410 has a gate structure without so-called prize ball payout, and is provided with a general-purpose start opening entrance detection device 2411. Here, the general-purpose entrance entrance detection device 2411 is a sensor that detects the entrance of a game ball into the general-purpose entrance 2410, and generates general-use entrance entrance information indicating the entrance at the time of entry. To do. It should be noted that the entry of the game ball into the general figure starting port 2410 triggers a lottery for expanding the first special figure starting port electric accessory 2212 of the first special figure starting port 2210.

  Next, the grand prize winning opening 2120 is a main tulip that is in the shape of a so-called electric tulip that is opened as a big hit when the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops at the big hit symbol, It is a prize opening corresponding to a game. Specifically, the special winning opening 2120 opens and closes the special winning opening winning detection device 2121 for detecting the entry of a game ball, the large winning opening electric accessory 2122, and the big winning opening electric combination 2122. And a large prize opening electric accessory solenoid 2122a. Here, the grand prize opening prize detection device 2121 is a sensor that detects the entry of a game ball into the big prize opening 2120, and generates the big prize opening entry information indicating the entry at the time of the entry. The grand prize opening electrical accessory 2122 changes the big prize opening 2120 between a normal state where the game ball cannot be won or difficult to win and an open state where the game ball is easy to win. In this best mode, the special game based on the first game and the special game based on the second game are configured to be executed in one grand prize opening. Also good. Note that the terms “main game” and “auxiliary game” in this specification are not terms related to actual game play, the former refers to a game directly connected to a special game, and the latter refers to a game that supports the main game. . In other words, in consideration of the actual game play, only the game based on the usual symbol starting point is normally executed, and the game based on the special symbol is executed only when the normal symbol is won. Although the game based on the game can be regarded as a “main game”, the term is used in this specification in terms of whether or not the game is directly connected to the special game.

  Here, as described above, in the best mode, the size and shape of the special prize opening 2120 and the first special figure starting port 2210 are important. Therefore, the size and shape of the special prize opening 2120 and the first special figure starting port 2210 according to the best mode will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40.

  First, FIG. 39 is a view showing the appearance of the special prize opening 2120 in the open state and the closed state. As can be seen from the drawing, the special winning opening 2120 has an opening 2120a having a predetermined cross-sectional area and a special winning opening winning detection device 2121 for detecting a game ball that has entered the opening 2120a {FIG. 39 (4 ) Reference}, and a first wing member 2122a provided on the left side of the opening 2120a and pivotally supported at the lower end so as to be changed by a predetermined angle (predetermined acute angle or right angle) counterclockwise from a substantially vertical direction; A second wing member 2122b pivotally supported at the lower end so as to be changed by a predetermined angle (predetermined acute angle or right angle) clockwise from a substantially vertical direction, provided on the right side of the opening 2121a. Here, the first wing member 2122a and the second wing member 2122b are mirror-symmetric parts, and are disposed to face each other with the opening 2120a interposed therebetween. During non-special games, as shown in FIG. 39 (1), the first wing member 2122a and the second wing member 2122 are positioned in a substantially vertical direction. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1 {and FIG. 39 (3)}, since there is a baffle member α for preventing a ball from entering the upper portion of the opening 2120 a, It is impossible to win a game ball. On the other hand, in the special game, as shown in FIGS. 39 (2) and (3), the first wing member 2122a and the second wing member 2122b rotate by a predetermined angle, so that the game ball is opened through the expanded opening 2121a. Will be able to win in the big prize opening 2120.

  Next, FIG. 40 is a view showing the appearance of the first special figure starting port 2210 in the open state. As can be seen from the drawing, the first special figure starting port 2210 has a larger cross-sectional area than the opening (opening when expanded) of the above-described special winning opening 2120, and the long axis direction is horizontal. A rectangular opening 2210a, a first special figure start opening detection device 2211 for detecting a game ball that has entered the rectangular opening 2210a, and the first special figure start opening 2210 through the rectangular opening 2210a. This is a guide path for guiding the ball that has been sphered to the first special figure starting port entrance detecting device 2211, and at least a part thereof extends in the major axis direction of the rectangular opening 2210 a and the first special figure starting port A guide path 2210b that is inclined downward toward the entrance detection device 2211 and a variable member that covers the rectangular cross section in the closed state and is a shutter installed so as to expose the rectangular cross section in the open state. And a chromatography member 2210C.

  Here, the reason why the shapes and sizes of the special winning opening 2120 and the first special figure starting opening 2210 are configured as described above will be described in detail. First, the grand prize opening 2120 is configured so as to expand in a so-called tulip shape, so even if the ball enters from either the left or the right, there is no time variation and the big prize opening prize detection is arranged downstream. The device 2121 is reached immediately. As a result, the winning ball based on the opening of the special winning opening can be within the assumed range. On the other hand, the first special figure starting port 2210 has a so-called attacker shape and extends in the major axis direction, and is provided with a downwardly inclined guide path on the first special figure starting port entrance detection device 2211 side. Therefore, the arrival time to the first special figure start entrance entrance detection device 2211 varies depending on whether a game ball enters from the upper side of the guide path or a game ball enters from the lower side. As a result, the prize ball based on the opening of the start port may be out of the assumed range. For the above reasons, by setting the number of winning balls to be within the assumed range, it is possible to surely realize a low-profit special game that is a smaller number of winning balls than when the special game is triggered. Furthermore, in order to exert the effects based on the special specifications in the best mode to the player as much as possible, it is necessary to prevent the player from realizing the jackpot on the second game side (that is, for the mode transition). It is important how the player recognizes that it is the starting point. Therefore, by configuring the grand prize winning opening 2120 so as to expand in a so-called tulip shape, there is no time variation even when entering from either the left or the right, and immediately to the entrance detection means arranged downstream. In order to reach, the special game can be finished in a very short time without variation. In addition, when a special specification such as a pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is adopted, it is significantly different from the board surface configuration of the most popular conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine. There is a risk of becoming unknown. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the shape of the first special figure start opening electric accessory 2212 is made into an attacker shape, and the opening of the first special figure start opening electric accessory 2212 is opened of the big prize opening 2120. It is pretending to be. By doing so, the game progression method of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is simulated to be similar to the conventional game progression method of the first type pachinko gaming machine. As a result, the problem (the game progression method becomes unclear). (Fear) will be resolved. Similarly, the shape of the special winning opening 2120 is an electric tulip, which is an effect that does not make it feel like it is a special game internally. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode obtains an outgoing ball by entering a game ball into the first special figure starting port electric accessory 2212 (first special figure starting port 2210). (For example, when a game ball enters the first special figure starting port 2210, 15 prize balls, and when a game ball enters the big prize opening 2120, six prize balls, etc.) .

  Next, the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230) performs variable display and stop display of the first special symbol (second special symbol) corresponding to the first game (second game). . Specifically, the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230) includes a first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display unit 2231). The first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230) is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED, and the first special symbol (second special symbol) has 10 types of “0” to “9”. It is displayed with the number and “−” of the loss.

  Since the first special symbol (second special symbol) does not necessarily have an effect role, in the best mode, the size of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230) is It is set to be inconspicuous. However, in the case of adopting a technique in which the first special symbol (second special symbol) itself has an effect role, the first special symbol (the first special symbol (the first special symbol) is displayed on a liquid crystal display such as an effect display device 2310 described later. (2 special symbols) may be displayed.

  Next, the normal symbol display device 2420 performs normal symbol variation display and stop display. As a specific configuration, the normal symbol display device 2420 includes a general map display unit 2421 and a general map hold display unit 2422. Here, the universal symbol hold display unit 2422 is composed of four lamps, and the number of lighting of the lamps corresponds to the number of normal symbol fluctuations held (the number of normal symbol fluctuations not executed).

  In addition, since a normal symbol does not necessarily need to have an effect role, in this best mode, the size of the normal symbol display device 2220 is set to an inconspicuous level. However, in the case of adopting a technique in which the ordinary symbol itself has an effect role, the ordinary symbol may be displayed on a liquid crystal display such as an effect display device 2140 described later.

  Next, the effect display device 2310 performs change display and stop display of the effect image including the decorative symbols that change and stop in conjunction with the normal symbols. As a specific configuration, the effect display device 2310 includes a drawing display unit 2311 and a drawing hold display unit 2312. Here, the figure display unit 2311 displays, for example, a plurality of rows of decorative symbol variation moving images simulating a slot machine game in the central area of the screen. The effect display device 2310 is configured by a liquid crystal display in the best mode, but may be configured by other display means such as a mechanical drum or LED. Next, the drawing hold display unit 2312 is composed of four lamps, and the lamps are linked to the normal design hold lamps.

  Finally, the center decoration 192 is installed around the effect display device 2310 and has functions such as a flow path of the game ball, protection of the effect display device 2310, and decoration. In addition, the game effect lamp 190 is provided in the game area 120 or an area other than the game area 120, and plays a role of effect by blinking or the like.

  Next, the basic structure on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko gaming machine controls the overall operation of the pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, the lottery when the player enters the general figure starting port 2410, the first special figure starting port 2210, the second special figure starting port 2110, etc. Main control device (main board) 1000 that performs control (that is, control directly related to the player's profit), and display related to various effects and information notifications on the drawing display unit 2311 that gives the game content interest Production display control means (sub-board) 2320 for performing control, production display device 2310 for displaying production that enhances the fun of the game, the prize ball tank 212, the prize ball rail 214, and the winning prizes according to each prize opening A prize ball payout mechanism (set base) 210 including a payout unit 216 for paying out game balls supplied from the prize ball tank 212 to the upper ball tray 110, and a prize ball for controlling a payout operation by the payout unit 216. A launching device 3000, a launching device 232 that launches game balls (storage balls) of the upper ball tray 110 to the game area 120 one by one, a launch control board 230 that controls the launching operation of the launching device 232, and a pachinko game machine A power supply unit 290 that supplies power to each unit, a power switch 292 that is a switch for turning on and off the power of the pachinko gaming machine, and the like are provided on the back of the front frame 104 (on the opposite side to the game side).

  Next, various functions of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. First, the main control device 1000 is connected to a game peripheral device 2000 related to the game and a prize ball payout device 3000 that performs payout control of a predetermined number of prize balls based on a payout instruction from the main control device 1000 so that information can be transmitted. ing. In addition, although not shown, it is also electrically connected to various game effect lamps 190 (for example, side lamps), speakers 114, and the like. The main controller 1000 and the like are configured by hardware such as ROM and RAM for storing data and programs, and elements such as a CPU used for arithmetic processing. In the following description, each means included in the main controller 1000 may be configured to be mounted on a peripheral device (for example, the game peripheral device 2000). For example, in the present best mode, the main controller 1000 has a payout control function, but may be configured to have the prize ball payout device 3000, for example. Similarly, each means included in the peripheral device (for example, the game peripheral device 2000) may be configured to be mounted on the main controller 1000. The details of each means (device) will be described below.

  First, the main control device 1000 includes a game control means 1100 for controlling the main game (first game, second game, special game), auxiliary game, and general game, and various game information {e.g. , Stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information {e.g., normal jackpot, specific game (probability variation game in this best mode) transition jackpot, loss}, information on the variation mode (e.g., variation time), special game start signal Information transmission means 1300 for transmitting status information / end signal, hold information, etc., and control the prize ball payout device 3000 so as to pay out predetermined prize balls based on the winning of game balls to various winning ports. A prize ball payout determination means 1400.

  Here, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not each random number can be acquired by determining whether or not each ball can be acquired, and whether or not the ball determination means 1110 determines whether the game ball flows into each ball entrance (starting port, etc.). Random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 for acquiring each random number, and a ball entering each starting port (only the normal starting port 2410 in the best mode) during fluctuation display is temporarily stored as a reserved ball within the upper limit number. A holding control means 1130 for receiving, a winning lottery means 1135 for lottering whether or not to win based on a winning random number (first special symbol winning random number, second special symbol winning random number, normal symbol winning random number) to be described later, Based on the random number, a symbol content determining unit 1140 for determining a stop symbol and a variation mode (variation time, etc.) of each symbol, a display control unit 1150 for performing control of displaying and varying each symbol, The first special figure starting port electric combination opening / closing control means 1160 for performing various processes directly related to the opening / closing determination of the first special figure starting port electric combination 2212 of the first special figure starting port 2210, and a game rather than a normal game Special game control means 1170 for controlling each special game advantageous to the user, determination of which game state the current game state is to be transferred to for the first game, the second game, and the auxiliary game, and based on the determination Specific game control means 1180 for performing processing to shift the game state, and the current game state [e.g., state relating to the main game {normal game state, specific game state (probability varying game state), special game state}, auxiliary game State (easy-open state, non-easy-open state), stop symbol and variation mode information related to special symbols, on / off status of various flags, gaming state during special game (for example, round number and And a game state temporary storage means 1190 for temporarily storing the prize number information) or the like. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the entry determination means 1110 is directed to the first special figure start opening entrance determination means 1111 and the second special figure start opening 2110 for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first special figure start opening 2210. 2nd special figure start opening entrance judging means 1112 for judging whether or not a game ball has entered, and a general figure start entrance entrance judging means for judging whether or not a game ball has flowed into the general start opening 2410 1113.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not to acquire the first special symbol random number based on the game ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210, and according to the determination result, First special symbol random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 for acquiring random numbers (for example, a first special symbol winning random number, a first special symbol variation mode determining random number, a first special symbol determining random number, etc.), and a second special symbol starting port 2110 It is determined whether or not the second special symbol random number is acquired based on the game ball entering the game, and the random number (for example, the second special symbol winning random number, the second special symbol variation mode determination is determined according to the determination result) A second special symbol random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 for acquiring a random number, a second special symbol determination random number, and the like, and whether or not to acquire a normal symbol random number is determined. Based on the determination result, the random number (for example, a normal symbol winning) Random number, normal symbol variation mode determination Number, and a widely view the random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 for acquiring a normal symbol decision random number, etc.). In addition, unlike a normal first type gaming machine, a symbol that is linked to a decorative symbol for imparting an interest in gaming is a normal symbol. The first special symbol plays a role in determining whether or not the normal symbol is likely to be won. Whether the second special symbol is likely to win the normal symbol when the first special symbol is won. It is a role that determines whether or not to shift to a state of “no”, and unlike a normal symbol, it does not have a directing role in conjunction with a decorative symbol. Therefore, it is not always necessary to change the variation mode (or variation time) as in the case of normal symbols. Therefore, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be configured to have a uniform time without determining the variation mode (or variation time).

  Here, the “random numbers” in the claims and the present specification including the above are, for example, “0” to “65535” (winning random numbers) or “0” to “255” ( It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as (variation mode determination random number). The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like.

  Next, the hold control means 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the normal symbol random number acquired in a situation where the normal symbol variation permission has not been granted, and based on the determination result, the symbol variation permission is granted. Until the usual figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a. Here, the usual figure holding means 1133 has the usual figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order, which can store up to four. In the best mode, the first special symbol random number and the second special symbol random number hold function are not installed, but the hold function may be installed.

  Next, if the result of the first special symbol winning lottery (the second special symbol winning lottery) is a win, the winning / failing lottery means 1135 determines to shift to the special game {for example, internally per the first special symbol Turn on the flag (flag per second special symbol)} The special game transition determining means 1135a and the result of the normal symbol winning / losing lottery, if it is a win, the opening of the first special diagram start opening electrical accessory 2212 is determined (For example, the normal special symbol flag is turned on internally) The first special figure start lottery means 1135b and the first special figure success lottery referred to when performing the first special symbol success lottery Table 1135c, a second special symbol success / failure lottery table 1135d that is referred to when performing a second special symbol success / failure lottery, and a normal symbol success / failure lottery table 1135 that is referred to when performing a normal symbol successful / bad lottery. And, the has. Each lottery table has a different table for each gaming state. For example, each lottery table has a low probability lottery table used in the normal gaming state and a high probability lottery table used in the probability varying gaming state.

Here, Table 1 is an example of the first special figure winning lottery table 1135c and the second special figure winning lottery table 1135d, and Table 2 is an example of the normal special figure winning lottery table 1135e.

  Next, the symbol content determination means 1140, based on the acquired first special symbol random number (first special symbol determination random number, first special symbol variation mode determination random number), the stop symbol and variation mode (variation) of the first special symbol Stop the second special symbol based on the first special symbol content determining means 1141 for determining the time etc. and the acquired second special symbol random number (second special symbol determining random number, second special symbol variation mode determining random number) The second special symbol content determining means 1142 for determining the symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.), and the normal symbol stop symbol and variation based on the acquired normal symbol random number (normal symbol determination random number, normal symbol variation mode determination random number) It has general figure content determination means 1143 for determining the mode (variation time, etc.).

  Here, the 1st special figure content determination means 1141 has the 1st special figure content determination lottery table 1141a referred when determining the stop symbol and fluctuation mode which concern on a 1st special symbol, The 1 special figure content determination lottery table 1141a includes various lottery tables that differ depending on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (for example, regarding the gaming state, the special drawing normal game → the first special figure normal gaming state lottery table). , Special figure probability variation game → first special figure probability variation game state lottery table). The second special figure content determination means 1142 has a second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a that is referred to when determining the stop symbol and the variation mode related to the second special symbol. The special figure content determination lottery table 1142a includes various lottery tables that differ depending on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (for example, regarding the gaming state, the special drawing normal game → the second special figure normal gaming state lottery table, Special figure probability variation game → second special figure probability variation game state lottery table). Further, the common figure content determination means 1143 has a general figure content determination lottery table 1143a which is referred to when determining a stop symbol or a variation mode related to a normal symbol, and the general figure content determination lottery table 1143a. Is equipped with various winning tables that differ depending on the result of success / failure, gaming status, and the number of reserved balls (general normal game → general drawing normal game lottery table, general figure probability variation game → general probability variation game state Lottery table).

Here, Table 3 is an example (first special symbol determination) for the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141a, and Table 4 is an example (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a). Table 5 is an example of a general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a (for normal symbol determination), and Table 6 is an example of a general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a (for variation mode determination). It is.

  Next, the display control unit 1150 performs first control on the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 to stop and display after changing the first special symbol for a predetermined time. 1151, second special symbol control means 1152 for controlling to stop display after changing the second special symbol for a predetermined time on the second special symbol display unit 2231 of the second special symbol display device 2230, and normal symbol display There is a universal symbol control means 1154 for performing a control to stop and display after changing the normal symbol for a predetermined time on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the device 2420.

No. (whether or not the normal symbol hit flag is ON) and the driving (opening) time of the first special figure starting port electric accessory 2212 of the first special figure starting port 2210 And an open timer 1162 for measuring.

  Next, the special game control means 1170 determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game is satisfied. Specifically, the special game control means 1170 wins the winning flag {first special symbol per flag (per second special symbol Flag)} and the condition determination means 1171 for determining whether or not the special game transition condition is satisfied, the contents of the special game (specifically, the number of rounds, the time between rounds, etc.) Special game content determination means 1172 set in the temporary storage means 1194, special game execution means 1173 for executing a special game in which the special prize opening 2120 is opened under a predetermined condition, and various processing times related to the special game Special game time management means 1174 for performing management (for example, opening / closing time of the special prize opening 2120). Here, the special game time management means 1174 further includes a special game timer 1174a capable of measuring time. The special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194.

Here, Table 7 is an example of the special game content reference table 1172a. First, when the end demonstration time is the shortest (4 seconds), there is a high risk of shifting to the normal symbol normal game state after the end of the special game (see also Table 9 below). That is, if the time is selected as (1) “normal symbol probability variation gaming state / special symbol probability variation gaming state” in which the continuous mode is continued at 100%, the time is selected over 80%. However, (2) In the case of “ordinary symbol normal gaming state / special symbol probability variation gaming state” which is relatively easy to shift to the continuous channel mode, in addition to the selection rate for that time being less than 50%, (3) most If it is “normal symbol normal gaming state / special symbol normal gaming state” that is difficult to shift to continuous mode, 100% of the time is selected, and (4) “normal symbol probability variation gaming state / This is because 100% of the time is selected even in the “special symbol normal gaming state”. When the end demonstration time is the next shortest (9 seconds) and the longest (19 seconds), it is determined that the special game is shifted to the normal symbol probability variation game state (continuous mode) after the special game ends.

  Next, the specific game control means 1180 includes a special symbol specific game control means 1181 that controls the game state transition of the special symbol, a normal symbol specific game control means 1182 that controls the game state transition of the normal symbol, The number of easy opening continuations of the special figure start opening 2212 (the number of continuations of the normal symbol probability variation gaming state) is counted, and when the number of easy opening continuation times reaches a predetermined number, the first special figure starts. Limiter control means 1184 for operating the limiter so that the mouthpiece 2222 is not easily opened, and specific game related information temporary storage for temporarily storing information related to the specific game (for example, game state immediately before the special game). Means 1183. The special symbol specific game control means 1181 has a special symbol specific game transition determination table 1181a to be referred to when determining the game state transition of the special symbol, and the normal symbol specific game control means 1182 is a normal one. A normal symbol specific game transition determination table 1182a is provided for reference when determining the symbol game state transition. Further, the limiter control means 1184 further includes a limit number counter 1184a for counting the number of easy opening continuations (the number of continuations of the normal symbol probability variation gaming state). The specific game in the best mode is a probability variation for both the special symbol and the normal symbol, but is not limited to this. For example, in the special symbol, the time-saving gaming state in which the variation time is short and the variation time is long. In a normal symbol such as a time extension game state, a time reduction game state, an open time extension state and the like can be mentioned.

Here, Table 8 is an example of the special symbol specific game transition determination table 1181a, and Table 9 is an example of the normal symbol specific game transition determination table 1182a. Here, as can be seen from Table 9, the transition probability and the continuation probability of the normal symbol to the probability variation game state are different depending on the game state of the special symbol. Moreover, even if it is a case where it stops with the same special symbol, the 1st special symbol is comprised so that it may differ from the game state of a special symbol whether it transfers to a normal symbol probability fluctuation | variation game state. Specifically, when the first special symbol is “c1” and a transition is made to a special game, if the game state immediately before the special game is the special symbol probability variation game state, the normal symbol probability variation game after the end of the special game. However, when the game state immediately before the special game is the special symbol normal game state, the state does not shift to the normal symbol probability variation game state after the special game ends. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the game state of the normal symbol after the special game is ended only by referring to the special symbol stop symbol that has triggered the special game. In this best mode, it is configured so that it can shift to the normal symbol specific game only when the first special symbol is won, but it is not limited to this, and when the second special symbol is won. May also be configured to migrate.

In step 5000, the main controller 1000 (especially the prize ball payout determining means 1400) drives the prize ball payout apparatus 3000 to perform a predetermined prize ball payout process based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. Return to Step 10 again. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of normal symbol random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1113 determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes) the general-purpose start entrance 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the common random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 refers to the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a, and determines whether or not the number of held balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the normal symbol random number acquisition determination execution unit 1123 acquires a normal symbol random number {normal symbol winning random number, normal symbol variation mode determining random number, normal symbol determining random number, etc.}. Next, in step 1108, the ordinary figure holding means 1133 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number in the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a together with the order information indicating the number of the holding. Then, in step 1110, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the ordinary-pending information temporary storage means 1133a, acquires information on what number of the random number is stored, and controls the display of the information. It transmits to the means 2320 side and shifts to the next processing (normal symbol display processing 1200). In the case of No in step 1102 and step 1104, the process proceeds to the next process (normal symbol display process 1200).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the normal symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1204, the usual game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1193 a and determines whether or not the first special figure starting port electric player opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the general game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1193a and determines whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the common figure content determining means 1143 refers to the common figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1208, in step 1210, the general symbol content determination unit 1143 is a normal symbol random number (normal symbol winning random number, which is temporarily stored in the general symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1133 a) related to the current symbol variation. Normal symbol variation mode determination random number, normal symbol determination random number, etc.) are read out. Next, in step 1238, the usual game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1193a and determines whether or not the usual game probability variation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240, the general content determination unit 1143 sets a table for the probability variation gaming state as various reference tables. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1238, in step 1242, the general content determination means 1143 sets a table for the normal gaming state as various reference tables. Next, at step 1212, the winning / bad lottery means 1135 refers to the normal symbol random number table 1135e based on the normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol winning random number) and the gaming state, and executes the normal symbol random lottery. Next, in Step 1214, the first special figure starting port electric accessory release determining means 1135b determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1214, in step 1216, the first special figure starting port electric accessory release determining means 1135b turns on the normal symbol hit flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a.

Next, in step 1224, the universal symbol control means 1153 starts the normal symbol fluctuation display on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the normal symbol display device 2420 according to the fluctuation mode stored in the universal symbol information temporary storage means 1193b. To do. Next, in step 1226, the general symbol control means 1153 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1228, the common figure fluctuation time management means 1154a refers to the common figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1228, in step 1230, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command (definite display command) indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2420 side. Next, in step 1232, the universal symbol control means 1153 stops the normal symbol variable display on the ordinary symbol display unit 2421 of the ordinary symbol display device 2420, and the stop stored in the ordinary symbol information temporary storage means 1193b. The display is controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1234, the general symbol control means 1153 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1236, the common figure change time management unit 1153 a resets the normal figure change management timer 1153 a-1 and proceeds to the next process (first special figure start opening electric accessory drive determination process 1800). In the case of No in step 1204, step 1208, and step 1228, the process proceeds to the next process (first special figure starting port electric accessory drive determination process 1800), and in the case of No in step 1206, the process proceeds to step 1228.

If No in step 1918, the process proceeds to the next process (step 12). Next, in step 1920, the first special figure start port electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 closes the first special figure start port electric accessory 2212 of the first special figure start port 2210. Next, in step 1922, the first special figure start port electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 transmits a first special figure start port electric accessory closing signal to the effect display control means 2320 side. Then, in step 1924, the first special figure starting port electric player opening / closing control means 1160 turns off the first special figure starting port electric player opening flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and performs the next processing. The process proceeds to (Step 12). Note that if the answer is No in Step 1914, the process proceeds to the next process (Step 12).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later. In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operating condition determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process (second special symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. First, in step 1401, the first special figure start port entrance judging means 1111 (second special figure start entrance entrance judging means 1112) is a first special figure start entrance entrance detecting device of the first special figure start port 2210. It is determined whether or not the first special figure start entrance entrance information (second special figure start entrance entrance information 2111 of the second special view start entrance 2110) has been received from 2211. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not the variation start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game or the special symbol change is not in progress. In the present best mode, since the first special symbol random number and the second special symbol random number holding function are not installed, the game ball is moved to the first special diagram start port 2210 when the variation start condition is not satisfied. When entering the (second special figure starting port 2110), the entry becomes invalid (does not obtain random numbers, obtains random numbers but discards them, etc. However, payout of prize balls is not invalid) .

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 (second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122) performs the first special symbol random number (first special symbol winning random number, first random number, 1 special symbol variation mode determination random number, first special symbol determination random number, etc.) {2nd special symbol random number (second special symbol winning random number, second special symbol variation mode determination random number, second special symbol determination random number)} To do. Next, in step 1434, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a), and the special figure probability. It is determined whether or not the fluctuation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1436, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) sets a table for the probability variation gaming state as various reference tables. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1434, in step 1438, the first special figure content determining unit 1141 (second special figure content determining unit 1142) sets a table for the normal gaming state as various reference tables. Next, in step 1406, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 determines the first special symbol random number (first special symbol winning random number) {second special symbol random number (second special symbol winning random number)} and the gaming state. The first special symbol winning lottery (second special symbol winning lottery) is executed with reference to the 1 special symbol winning lottery table 1135c (second special symbol winning lottery table 1135d). Next, in step 1408, the special game transition determining means 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a causes the first special symbol per flag (second special symbol per flag) in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). ) On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141 a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142 a). With reference to each lottery table, the first special symbol random number (for example, the first special symbol determination random number, the first special symbol variation mode determination random number) {the second special symbol random number (for example, the second special symbol determination random number, the first 2 special symbol variation mode determination random number)} is determined based on the first special symbol (second special symbol) and the variation mode, and these are determined as first special symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second special symbol information temporary). Temporarily store in storage means 1192b). Note that the table to be referred to is determined based on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (the same applies to the following). Next, in step 1414, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits information on the special symbol determined in step 1412 (particularly stop symbol information) to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1412} to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1418, the first special symbol control means 1151 (second special symbol control means 1152) makes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230 second of the second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130. On the special figure display unit 2231), the first special symbol (second special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). To start. Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) makes the first special symbol changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). (2nd special symbol changing flag) is turned on. In step 1422, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1426, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) displays the first special figure display unit 2131 (second special figure display unit 2130) of the first special symbol display device 2130. The variable display of the first special symbol (second special symbol) on the second special symbol display unit 2231) of the symbol display device 2230 is stopped, and the first special symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second special symbol information temporary storage). The stop symbol stored in the means 1192b) is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1440, the specific game control means 1180 displays the game state information at the time of the special symbol stop (current) (whether the game state of the special symbol is a probability variation game state, whether the game state of the normal symbol is a probability) Whether or not the game is in a variable game state) is temporarily stored in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183. Here, the reason for temporarily storing the gaming state at the time of the special symbol stop is that, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, whether or not to shift to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state after the special game is finished, immediately before the special game. This is because it is determined based on the gaming state of the game. The temporary storage content is used under predetermined conditions in a game state determination process after the end of the special game in step 9000 described later. Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is in step 1428, and the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is the first flag. The first special symbol changing flag (second special symbol changing flag) in the temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) is turned off. Then, in step 1430, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) performs first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset, and the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1401 and step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) makes the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means). 1192a), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol changing flag (second special symbol changing flag) is ON. If Yes in step 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the big prize opening 2120 and closes the big prize opening 2120. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the round is the final round (for example, two rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1640, the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the special symbol of the special symbol that triggered the special game and the game state. The end demo time after the end of the special game is determined, and the determination information (end demo time) is set in the special game timer 1174a (for the special game end demo). Next, in step 1642, the special game execution means 1173 turns on the special game end demo flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1644, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game timer 1174a and determines whether or not a predetermined time (the determined end demo time) has elapsed. In the case of Yes in step 1644, in step 1646, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1648, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the special game end demonstration flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 9000, the game control means 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game described later. In step 1650, the special game executing means 1173 transmits the current game state information (after the end of the special game) to the effect display control means 2320, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present invention, according to the subroutine of step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the special game is a special game based on “predetermined modes a1 to p1”. In the case of Yes in step 9002, that is, in the case where the special game is a special game related to the first special symbol, the game state transition determination process of the normal symbol (+ limiter control process in steps 9022 to 9034) is performed in step 9004 to step 9016. At the same time, a special symbol gaming state transition determination process (+ limiter control process in steps 9036 and 9040) is executed in steps 9018 to 9022. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9002, that is, when the special game is a special game related to the second special symbol, only the game state transition determination process of the special symbol is executed. Hereinafter, the game state transition determination process for the normal symbol and the game state transition determination process for the special symbol will be described in detail.

  First, the game state determination process for a normal symbol will be described. First, in step 9030, the limiter control means 1184 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183, and determines whether or not the limiter control flag is on. Here, the “limiter control flag” is a flag (see step 9028) that is triggered when the flag for changing the normal probability is turned on (see step 9028). ) Counts the number of limiters. In the case of Yes in step 9030, that is, when the normal figure probability is currently changing, in step 9006, the special figure specific game control means 1182 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183 and immediately before the special game. It is determined whether or not the special figure gaming state is a probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in Step 9006, in Step 9032, the limiter control means 1184 adds “1” to the limit number count value of the limit number counter 1184a. Next, in step 9034, the limiter control means 1184 refers to the limit number counter 1184 a and determines whether the limit number count value is not “100”. In the case of Yes in step 9034, it means that the limiter value has not been reached. Therefore, in step 9008, the common figure specific game control means 1182 turns on the common figure probability variation flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (special symbol game state transition determination process described later). In this way, if both the ordinary game state and the special figure game state immediately before the special game are both probability-variable game states, the normal symbol is always used regardless of the type of the first special symbol unless the limiter is reached. Transition (continuation) to the probability variation gaming state (see Table 9).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9034, that is, when the limiter has been reached, in step 9036, the limiter control means 1184 turns on the limiter arrival flag in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183. In step 9022, the limiter control means 1184 resets the limit number counter 1184a (L = “0”). In step 9024, the limiter control means 1184 turns off the limiter control flag in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183, and the process proceeds to step 9018.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9006, in step 9010, the special game control means 1182 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1190, and the special game is based on “predetermined modes a1 to i1, k1 to o1”. It is determined whether or not it is one special game. In the case of Yes in step 9010, the process shifts to step 9032 to execute a determination process as to whether or not the limiter as described above has been reached. In this way, when the ordinary figure gaming state immediately before the special game is the probability varying gaming state and the special figure gaming state is the normal gaming state, the probability varying gaming state of the normal symbol with high probability unless the limiter is reached. (Continue) to (see Table 9).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9010, that is, in the case where the falling condition of the normal game state is satisfied before reaching the limiter, the process proceeds to step 9022 to reset the limit number counter and the limiter described above. A process for turning off the control flag is executed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9030, that is, when the normal game state immediately before the special game is the normal game state, the normal game specific game control unit 1182 stores the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1183 in step 9012. It is determined whether or not the special figure gaming state immediately before the special game is a probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 9012, in step 9014, the special figure specific game control means 1182 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1190, and is the special game a first special game based on the “predetermined modes a1 to h1”? Determine whether or not. If Yes in step 9014, the process proceeds to step 9026. On the other hand, if No in step 9012, that is, if the special figure game state immediately before the special game is the normal game state, the special figure specific game control means 1182 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1190 in step 9016. Then, it is determined whether or not the special game is the first special game based on the “predetermined aspect a1”. If YES in step 9016, the process proceeds to step 9026. In step 9026, the limiter control means 1184 sets “1” to the limit number count value of the limit number counter 1184a (L = “1”). In step 9028, the limiter control means 1184 turns on the limiter control flag in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183, and the process proceeds to step 9008.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, “ordinary symbol jackpot” is set as a predetermined parameter as an index corresponding to the duration of the normal figure probability variation state (game ball easy acquisition state), and the Although the limiter is activated when the number of jackpots reaches a predetermined value, the present invention is not limited to this. As an index corresponding to the duration of the normal figure probability variation state (game ball easy acquisition state), for example, the number of winning / failing lottery based on the game ball entering the third game side start port (general map start port), variable Second game side start port (first special figure start port) based on the open state transition number of the member (first special figure start port electric combination) and the open state transition of the variable member (first special figure start port electric combination) ), The number of winning / successful lottery based on the number of game balls entering the second game side start port (first special figure start port), the second game side start port (first special figure start port) ) The number of wins as the result of lottery based on the game ball entering, the number of times of execution of the second special game, the third game side second game state based on the execution of the second special game The number of transitions to (game ball easy acquisition state) can be mentioned.

  Next, the special symbol gaming state determination process will be described. This process is a process that is executed after the above-described normal symbol game state determination process is completed, or when the answer is No in Step 9002 (that is, when the special game is a special game related to the second special symbol). Specifically, first, in step 9018, the special figure specific game control means 1181 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1190, and the special game is “predetermined modes a1 to b1, i1 to j1, a2 to b2, i2”. It is determined whether it is the first special game or the second special game based on “˜j2”. In the case of Yes in step 9018, in step 9020, the special figure specific game control means 1181 turns on the special figure probability variation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a), and in step 9040 Transition. In the case of No in step 9018, in step 9038, the limiter control means 1184 determines whether or not the limiter arrival flag in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183 is off. If Yes in step 9038, the process proceeds to step 9040. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9038, the process proceeds to step 9020, and even if the winning symbol is not a probability variation symbol, the special symbol probability variation state is forcibly set, and then the procedure proceeds to step 9040. In step 9040, the limiter control means 1184 turns off the limiter arrival flag in the specific game related information temporary storage means 1183, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the transition probability and the continuation probability of the normal symbol to the probability variation gaming state differ depending on the gaming state of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol). It is configured. Moreover, even if it is a case where it stops with the same special symbol, the 1st special symbol is comprised so that it may differ from the game state of a special symbol whether it transfers to a normal symbol probability fluctuation | variation game state. Further, the second special symbol is present in order to shift only the gaming state of the special symbol. In the best mode, the game state of the special symbol and the normal symbol is changed based on the special symbol mode (stop symbol). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second special symbol is used. After the special game is over, the normal symbol game state transition determination process itself may not be performed.

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 14 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2320.

And (4) has shown the case where the 1st special game based on "predetermined aspect i1" is performed. In this case, the gaming state after the end of the special game is a probability variation gaming state for both the special symbol and the normal symbol. In this way, when the normal symbol gaming state falls from the probability variation gaming state to the normal gaming state, the special symbol gaming state falls in the probability variation gaming state, and the special symbol gaming state is the normal gaming state. There is a case of falling.

  Then, a case where the first special game is executed in the special symbol probability variation state and in the normal symbol probability variation game state will be described with reference to FIG. First, (1) shows a case where the first special game based on the “predetermined aspect p1” is executed. In this case, the gaming state after the end of the special game is the normal gaming state for the special symbol gaming state and the probability varying gaming state for the normal symbol gaming state. Next, (2) shows a case where the first special game based on the “predetermined aspect j1” is executed. In this case, the gaming state after the end of the special game is a probability variation gaming state for both the special symbol and the normal symbol. As described above, when the game state immediately before the special game is the probability variation game state for both the special symbol and the normal symbol, the game state of the normal symbol does not fall into the normal game state.

  Next, with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 26 and a screen display example on the effect display device 2310 of FIG. 27, the operation according to the mode notification availability determination / content determination processing 6300 and the mode notification control processing 6400 will be described. First, FIG. 26 (1) shows a case where the special symbol gaming state is the normal gaming state and the mode notification is not executed. Next, FIG. 26 (2) shows a case where the mode notification is executed when the gaming state of the special symbol is the normal gaming state. Here, FIG. 27A is a screen display example on the effect display device 2310 in this case. Next, FIG. 26 (3) shows a case where the special symbol gaming state is the probability variation gaming state and the mode notification is not executed. FIG. 26 (4) shows a case where the mode notification is executed when the gaming state of the special symbol is the probability variation gaming state. Here, FIG. 27B is a screen display example on the effect display device 2310 in this case. Thus, the game state of the current special symbol can be estimated from the contents of the mode notification.

  Next, with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 28, a description will be given of different game characteristics depending on the rate of game balls entering the second special figure starting port 2110. First, (1) shows the playability of the pachinko gaming machine when the entrance rate of the game balls into the second special figure starting port 2110 is high. As can be seen from the figure, when the entrance rate is high, the second special game is frequently executed, and as a result, the transition to the special symbol probability variation gaming state (high accuracy mode) that is easy to transition to the normal symbol probability variation gaming state. On the other hand, the gameability (gameability with modest explosive power) is easily achieved. And (2) has shown the game nature of the said pachinko game machine when the entrance rate of the game ball to the 2nd special figure starting opening 2110 is low. As can be seen from the figure, when the entrance rate is high, the second special game is difficult to be executed, and as a result, the normal symbol probability variation game state is easily shifted to the normal symbol probability variation game state (high accuracy mode). On the other hand, the gameability (gameability with high explosive power) is difficult to exit the mode.

  Next, FIG. 29 is an operation diagram relating to the jackpot display control process 6500. Here, FIG. 29 (1) is a diagram showing a case where the first special game end demonstration time is short. Specifically, a game ball enters the first special figure start opening 2210 when the first special figure start opening electric accessory 2212 is in the open state, and as a result of the variation of the first special symbol based on the input, Suppose that it stops at the winning symbol “a1”. In this case, as can be understood from Table 7, when winning with “a1” in the normal symbol normal game state / special symbol normal game state, the end demonstration time of the jackpot (special game) based on the hit is “4 seconds” It is. As described above, the special game period (large winning opening opening time) + the special game end demonstration period is as short as “6 seconds + 4 seconds = 10 seconds”. On the other hand, on the effect display device 2310, during the special game period + the special game end demonstration period, an effect of notifying the game state of the normal symbol after the jackpot is executed. Here, as can be seen from Table 11, when the special game period (big prize opening opening time) + the special game end demo period is 10 seconds, the game state of the normal symbol after the jackpot is the probability variation game state in this example. Therefore, “effect 11” is selected as the jackpot effect. That is, on the effect display device 2310, after the battle effect is executed for 8 seconds, the victory effect is executed for 2 seconds.

  On the other hand, FIG. 29 (2) is a diagram showing a case where the first special game end demonstration time is long. Specifically, a game ball enters the first special figure start opening 2210 when the first special figure start opening electric accessory 2212 is in the open state, and as a result of the variation of the first special symbol based on the input, Assume that the player stops at the winning symbol “h1”. In this case, as can be understood from Table 7, when winning with “h1” in the normal symbol normal game state / special symbol probability variation game state, the end demonstration time of the jackpot (special game) based on the hit is “9 seconds. It is. As described above, the special game period (large winning opening opening time) + the special game end demonstration period is as long as “6 seconds + 9 seconds = 15 seconds”. On the other hand, on the effect display device 2310, during the special game period + the special game end demonstration period, an effect of notifying the game state of the normal symbol after the jackpot is executed. Here, as can be seen from Table 11, when the special game period (open prize opening time) + special game end demo period is 15 seconds, the game state of the normal symbol after the jackpot is the probability variation game state in this example. Therefore, “effect 12” is selected as the jackpot effect. That is, on the effect display device 2310, the battle effect is executed for 8 seconds, and after the defeat effect is executed for 2 seconds, the revival effect for 5 seconds is executed.

  Next, FIG. 30 is an operation diagram relating to the decorative symbol display control process 6200. Here, FIG. 30 (1) shows a case where there is no mode transition during fluctuation, and FIG. 30 (2) shows a case where there is a mode transition during fluctuation. Specifically, the game state of the special symbol is the normal game state at the start of the decorative symbol variation. Under such circumstances, a variation mode 5a having a total variation time of 50 seconds is executed on the effect display device 2310. In FIG. 30 (1), the gaming state of the special symbol does not change until the change is completed. Therefore, the variation mode 5a is executed until the end. On the other hand, in FIG. 30 (2), the gaming state of the special symbol changes in the middle of “5a-2” which is the second part of the variation mode 5a. As a result, after “5a-2”, which is the second part of the variation mode 5a, is finished, instead of “5a-3”, which is the third part of the variation mode 5a that was scheduled to be executed, the same scale as that part is used. “5b-3” which is the third part of the variation mode 5b is executed.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is provided with two special game transition lottery start ports that are directly connected to the special game, one special game transition support start port that supports the transition to the special game, and one special game transition support start port. It is a board surface configuration in which a variable member (opened only when a lottery executed based on a game ball entering the special game transfer support start port is won) is further installed at the game transfer lottery start port. And the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is based on the state transition (first game side first game state, first game side second game state) based on the entrance of the game ball to the other special game transition lottery start port ) Is realized, and in the first game side in the second game state, when the transition to the special game is made based on the entrance to one special game transition lottery start port, the first game side in the first game state In comparison, the control system has a control system that makes it easier to enter a state (third game side second game state) in which the variable member is easily opened. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the “other special game transition lottery start port” is in a state in which the variable member can be easily opened, in other words, a continuous special game (“one special game transition”). “High probability mode” (that is, the first gaming side second gaming state) that is easy to shift to a state that makes it easy to draw a special game based on the “lottery start opening” and “low probability mode” that is difficult to shift (that is, the first game) It functions as a special start port for mode switching (start port for mode transition) in the game side first gaming state). As a result, according to the best mode, by installing such a special start port for mode transition, it is possible to give the gaming machine a realistic mode function that is not pretending. By making the current mode unrecognizable or difficult, it is difficult for the player to understand when the game is stopped and the operation rate can be improved. Furthermore, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the winning probability itself is improved as in the probability fluctuation function of the conventional machine, which is not an advantageous situation when the next win (special game) is drawn. In the situation of staying in the more advantageous “high accuracy mode”, when the next hit (special game) is drawn, the possibility of shifting to a mode in which a continuous special game can be acquired is increased, so far Since new specs that did not exist in the game will be realized, there is an effect that the fun of the game can be enhanced. In addition, according to the best mode, it is possible to select a plurality of end demo times for the first special game, and a jackpot effect according to the selected end demo time can be achieved. There is an effect that the problem that the sense of speed is impaired can be solved.

  Furthermore, since it is configured to select an end demo time based on the gaming state after the first special game ends, for example, when a long end demo time is selected, a highly reliable long-time effect is executed, When a short end demonstration time is selected, if the short-time production with low reliability is executed or the production itself is not executed, the expectation of the production and the speed of the game can be made inversely proportional. There is an effect.

  Furthermore, according to this best mode, the first game side variable winning opening is configured to expand in a so-called tulip shape, so there is no time variation even when entering from either the left or the right. As a result of immediately reaching the entrance detecting means arranged downstream, the prize ball based on the opening of the variable prize opening is within the assumed range, while the second game side start opening is a so-called attacker and has a long axis direction. Since it is configured to have a guideway that is extended and inclined downward on the entrance detection means side, when a game ball enters from the upper side of the guide path and when a game ball enters from the lower side As a result, the arrival time to the entrance detection means changes, and as a result, the winning ball based on the opening of the start opening may be out of the assumed range. For this reason, according to this best mode, there is an effect that it is possible to surely realize a low-profit special game that is a smaller number of prize balls than when a special game is triggered. Furthermore, according to this best mode, as described above, the first game side variable winning opening is configured to expand in a so-called tulip shape, so that it is a case where the ball enters from either the left or the right. Because there is no time variation, the special game can be ended in a very short time without any variation, so that the first game side variable prize opening is the first game side. There is also an effect that it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize that this is a big winning opening linked to the starting opening.

  Furthermore, according to this best mode, when mode switching is executed, the configuration is such that the variation mode of the current identification information for variation is switched to the variation mode corresponding to the switched mode. Even if there is a mode switch on the game side, there is an effect that it is possible to ensure the consistency of performance.

  Furthermore, according to the best mode, since the variation mode data is configured to be divided into a plurality of parts, there is an effect that the switching process of the variation mode can be smoothly executed.

  Furthermore, according to the best mode, a so-called limiter function is provided to prevent the jackpot from being infinitely continuous. Since it is configured to shift to the mode, the player's dissatisfaction can be reduced even if the limiter function is installed. As a result, the player's motivation can be maintained, and the game is also performed for the hall side. Can also be continued (improvement of operating rate).

  Hereinafter, a first modification of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. In this best mode, when the game state related to the special symbol is changed during the decorative symbol variation, it is configured to be replaced with another decorative symbol variation part when the currently executing decorative symbol variation part is completed. . On the other hand, this change example is a type in which the decorative symbol variation is switched to a plurality of parts and immediately switched when the gaming state related to the special symbol is changed. Hereinafter, this modified example will be described.

  First, FIG. 31 is the same as FIG. 18 except that the process of step 6222 does not exist and the processes of steps 6228 and 6236 are different. To explain the different processing, in step 6228, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 replaces the variation mode of the remaining time of the decoration symbol variation currently being executed for the high accuracy mode. On the other hand, in step 6236, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 replaces the variation mode of the remaining time of the decorative symbol variation currently being executed for the low accuracy mode.

  Next, FIG. 32 is an operation diagram relating to the decorative symbol display control process 6200 in the present modification. FIG. 32 (1) shows a case where there is no game state transition related to the special symbol during the decoration symbol change, and FIG. 32 (2) shows a case where a game state transition related to the special symbol occurs during the decoration symbol change (switches immediately). , Shows.

  Next, the second modified example is a type in which a special effect is performed immediately after the start of the next variation when the gaming state related to the special symbol is changed in the final part of the decorative symbol variation. Hereinafter, this modified example will be described.

  First, FIG. 33 is the same as FIG. 18 except that steps 6246 to 6258 exist. To describe the different processing, in step 6246, the display control means 2322 determines whether or not the special effect permission flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. This flag is a flag that is turned on at the end of the previous symbol variation (see step 6256 described later). If YES in step 6246, in step 6248, the display control means 2322 turns off the special effect permission flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Thereafter, in step 6250, the display control means 2322 executes a special effect on the effect display device 2310. If No in step 6246, the process proceeds to step 6222.

  Next, in step 6252, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the low probability effect flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6252, in step 6254, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the gaming state information temporary storage means 2323a, and the current mode is the high probability mode (the gaming state of the special symbol is the probability variation gaming state). It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 6254, in step 6256, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns on the special effect permission flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6252, in step 6258, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a refers to the gaming state information temporary storage unit 2323a, and the current mode is the high-accuracy mode (the gaming state of the special symbol is the probability variation gaming state). ). If Yes in step 6258, the process proceeds to step 6256. Note that if No in step 6254 and step 6258, the process proceeds to step 6242.

  Next, FIG. 34 is an operation diagram relating to the decorative symbol display control process 6200 in the present modification. Here, FIG. 34 (1) shows that there is no gaming state transition related to the special symbol during decoration symbol variation, and FIG. 34 (2) shows that there is a gaming state transition related to the special symbol during the final part of the decoration symbol variation. (In case of switching immediately). In the case of FIG. 34 (2), the special effect is executed at the beginning of the next change.

  Next, the second best mode of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. In the first best mode, the contents of the jackpot effect are determined based on the end demonstration time of the special game (the end of the jackpot effect and the end of the demo time are combined). Here, in the first best mode, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of special game end demonstration times in order to execute a jackpot effect of various effect times. Furthermore, it is necessary to set the time so that the normal symbol is not hit during the special game end demonstration time. Therefore, it is not possible to set a special demonstration time that is too long, and there is a problem that it is somewhat difficult to execute an interesting jackpot production. Therefore, in the second best mode, it is configured to determine the contents of the jackpot effect based on the end demonstration time of the special game and the variation time of the normal symbol (decoration symbol) (the end of the jackpot effect may be matched with either one) And do not have to match).

  Here, the greatest feature of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is that the time of transition to a special game is the start timing, and the timing at which the special game ends is the end timing. The point that is configured to be fixed {in other words, the point using the limited frequency for the variation of the normal symbol (decorative symbol)}. By configuring in this way, the variation time of the normal symbol (decorative symbol) is also a factor in determining the contents of the jackpot effect, so that it is not necessary to prepare multiple special game end demonstration times, There is an advantage that the demo time may be short (as a result, the normal symbol does not become a big hit during the special game end demo time). In the following, the details of the present best mode will be described focusing on the differences from the first best mode.

First, Table 12 is an example (for variation mode determination) of the general content determination lottery table 1143a according to the best mode. As can be seen from this table, in the limited frequency state, 10 seconds is uniformly selected regardless of the gaming state of the special symbol at the time of losing, and 2 seconds is uniformly selected regardless of the gaming state of the special symbol at the time of winning (variation) Time 10 seconds). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be uniform regardless of whether it is right or wrong, and may be different time depending on the gaming state.

Next, Table 13 is a jackpot effect content determination table 2322e-1-1. Here, in this best mode, the jackpot effect is not one-to-one with the special game end demonstration time. Therefore, it is possible to determine the production contents flexibly.

  Next, processing according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36. FIG. First, FIG. 35 is the same as FIG. 6 except that Step 1244 to Step 1246 are different. Therefore, the different processing will be described. In step 1244, the general-purpose content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1193a and determines whether or not the limited frequency flag is off. In the case of No in step 1244, in step 1246, the general content determination unit 1143 sets a table for limited frequency as various reference tables. On the other hand, if Yes in step 1244, the process proceeds to step 1238.

  36 is the same as FIG. 12 except that step 1654 and step 1656 are present. The different processing will be described below. First, immediately after the transition to the special game, in step 1654, the special game execution unit 1173 turns on the limited frequency flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1190. After the final round of the special game is completed, in step 1656, the special game execution unit 1173 turns off the limited frequency flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1190.

  In this best mode, the normal symbol is in a limited frequency state during the period when the special game is executed as can be understood from step 1654 and step 1656 of FIG. 36. In the case where the third game side identification information (ordinary symbol) stops in a predetermined mode (big hit symbol) {or a variable member (first special diagram starting port motor combination) After the transition from the open state to the closed state}, the limited frequency state may be reached.

  Next, FIG. 37 is the same as FIG. 20 except that step 6516 is different. Accordingly, the different processing will be described. At step 6516, the jackpot effect content determination means 2322e-1 transmits the special game execution time information (information regarding the big winning opening opening time + the end demonstration time) transmitted from the main controller 1000 side. ) By referring to the jackpot effect content determination table 2322e-1-1 based on the general game state information after the end of the jackpot, the remaining opening time of the first special figure start opening electric character and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol Determine the contents of the jackpot production.

  Subsequently, the operation of the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. FIG. 38 is an operation diagram related to the jackpot display control process 6500. (1) shows a case where the special game end demonstration time is short, and (2) shows a case where the special game end demonstration time is long. First, referring to FIG. 38 (1), in this best mode, the timing at which the jackpot effect is determined is the moment when the first special symbol stops at the jackpot while the first special figure starter electric accessory is open. (Step 6516 which shifts to Yes in step 6512 of FIG. 37). At this time, the time parameters to be considered as to what kind of jackpot effect is determined are the special game execution time (big winning opening opening time + end demo time), the remaining opening time of the first special figure starting port electric accessory and The normal symbol variation time has the longest combination of (the remaining opening time of the first special figure start opening electric character + normal symbol variation time), so the jackpot effect that falls within the long time can be determined. . In this example, the jackpot effect that continues even after the special game end demonstration ends is selected.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 38 (2), when the first special symbol is stopped with a big win, when determining the jackpot effect content, (1) the longest demonstration time of the special game based on the per symbol (h1) is selected. (2) More than the sum of the remaining opening time of the first special figure starting opening electric member + the first normal symbol variation time (a fixed time at a limited frequency) executed after the electric member is closed. The special demonstration end time of the special game becomes longer; (3) Therefore, it is considered that the limited frequency state of the normal symbol continues once more. As a result, it is possible to select a long-time effect that spans two normal symbol variations.

  As described above, unlike the first best mode, this best mode is not limited to the special game end demo time, and is determined at the stage of determining the jackpot effect content at the stage where the special game end demo time ends and After checking “time when figure fluctuation ends”, the contents of the jackpot effect are determined. As a result, for example, when the end timing of the drawing change is later than the end timing of the special game end demo time, (1) selecting an effect until the end of the end of the drawing change will eliminate wasted time and speed up. While the game is possible, (2) If you select an effect from the end of the demo time to the end of the change in the drawing, it will be possible to fire a useless ball, which can contribute to making the base less than 100% There is an effect.

  In the first best mode and the second best mode, the content of the jackpot effect is determined at the time of receiving information that the special symbol hit symbol has been stopped on the sub-side, but this is not a limitation. . For example, even if it is configured to determine the jackpot effect content at the time of receiving the winning special chart information on the sub side, the jackpot effect content is determined when the electric Chu is closed (when the first limited frequency decoration symbol changes) May be.

  According to the present best mode, since the variation time of the third identification information after the variable member is opened is fixed, even if the selected end demonstration time is short, the fixed third By determining the content of the production based on the variation time of the identification information, there is an effect that the production of a certain length of high interest is always executable.

  Furthermore, when determining the variation mode of the third game side identification information executed in a predetermined period after the jackpot on the third game side, it is configured to determine using a table that is referred to only during the period, For example, if it is configured so that a long-time variation mode is always selected, it is possible to perform a desired effect without difficulty by using an effect symbol synchronized with the third identification information. . Furthermore, as in this best mode, if the third game side is configured so that it is easy to make big hits continuously, there may be a problem in that the base (outcome rate) rises too much and the gambling is too much, By increasing the variation time of the third identification information, it is possible to increase the interval between jackpots and jackpots on the third game side and lower the base.

  Furthermore, since it is configured to always select a uniform variation time variation mode, it is possible to unify the time scale of the moving image data produced during this period, thereby reducing the amount of data and the processing burden. There is an effect that it is possible to plan.

  Next, a third modification of the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko gaming machine according to this modified example includes first game identification information (second special symbol), second game identification information (first special symbol), third game side identification information (ordinary symbol), and performance identification. With respect to at least one piece of identification information (decorative symbol), a visual display form (for example, a plurality of patterns of colors and gradations is prepared) can be used to suggest a gaming state.

  In this case, when executing this for the identification information managed on the main control device side, for example, (1) the symbol content determination means 1140 refers to the gaming state temporary storage means 1190 and grasps the current gaming state. In consideration of the game state in addition to the acquired random number, a method for determining the display content of the identification information based on the visual display form, or (2) the display control means 1150 can visually identify the identification information based on the game state. Visual display form changing means (for example, switching to blue in the normal gaming state and red in the probability variation gaming state) capable of changing the target display form, A method of changing the visual display form based on the game state information temporarily stored in the game state temporary storage means 1190 can be mentioned.

Next, FIG. 41 is a flowchart in the case of executing identification information managed on the sub-control device side. The flowchart is the same as FIG. 16 except that step 6103 exists. Here, in step 6103 which is a difference, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 is based on the game state information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a. The visual display form (color) is determined, and the determined information is temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Here, Table 11 is an example of the drawing mode determination lottery table 2322a-1-2 that is referred to when determining the visual display form.

  Next, a fourth modification of the best mode will be described with reference to FIGS. In this best mode, there is a problem that the opening of the variable member may interfere with the winning of the big winning opening. Therefore, in this modified example, it is configured to control the opening timing of the special winning opening.

  Here, FIG. 42 is a special game operating condition determination processing flowchart according to this modification. The flowchart is the same as FIG. 11 except that step 1505 exists. Here, in step 1505 which is a difference, the condition determination means 1171 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and determines whether or not the first special figure starting port electric player opening flag is off. To do. Then, in the case of No in this step, that is, when the variable member is being opened, a process that does not shift to the step of Step 1512 (the step of turning on the special game transfer permission flag) is executed.

  Next, FIG. 43 is a timing chart showing the operation of this modification. As can be seen from the figure, as a result of the normal symbol being stopped by hitting, the variable member (the first special figure starting port electric accessory) is opened. Then, during the opening, it is assumed that the ball enters the first special figure starting port, and the first special symbol fluctuates based on the incoming ball and stops at the winning symbol. Here, in the best mode, the big winning opening is immediately opened. However, in this modified example, the variable member is still open when the first special symbol is hit, so the big winning opening based on the winning symbol is opened. Do not perform the action. Then, when the opening of the variable member is completed, the opening operation of the special winning opening is executed.

  Next, a fifth modification of the best mode will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, unauthorized damage to the variable member is large. Therefore, in this modified example, as countermeasures against unauthorized damage, detection / notification processing such as unauthorized opening of variable members, unauthorized monitoring processing, and winning invalidation processing can be executed. Hereinafter, the difference from the best mode will be mainly described with reference to FIG.

  First, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present modification will be described. In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 3, the main controller 1000 according to the present modification example includes a fraud monitoring control unit 1500 that determines whether or not the variable member is open in a situation where the permission to open the variable member is not lowered. It has further.

  Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present modification, relating to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. Here, FIG. 44 is the same as FIG. 10 except that Step 1440 and Step 1442 are different. To explain these processes, in step 1440, the fraud monitoring control means 1500 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and determines whether or not the first special figure starting port electric player opening flag is on. Determine. If Yes in step 1440, it is determined that the operation is normal, and the process proceeds to step 1402. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1440, in step 1442, the fraud monitoring control unit 1500 notifies the error such as turning on the side lamp of the gaming machine or transmitting an error signal to the hall computer. Execute the process.

  Next, a sixth modification of the best mode will be described. In this best mode, when the second special symbol is won in a predetermined manner (substantially, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port in the normal game state), the state shifts to the probability variation game state. It is configured as follows. On the other hand, in this modified example, if the lottery on the third game side is not won for a predetermined number of times (that is, if the normal symbol is a lost symbol for a predetermined number of times), the game state is forcibly Is switched to the probability variation gaming state.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 45 to FIG. 49, the description will focus on parts that are different from the best mode. Here, FIGS. 45 and 46 are flowcharts relating to processing for obtaining a special figure immediately after reaching the ceiling, and FIGS. 47 to 49 are flowcharts relating to processing for obtaining a special figure after completion of the special game when reaching the ceiling. . Hereinafter, the former will be described.

  First, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of a normal symbol display control process, which is one of characteristic processes of the present modification example, related to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. 45 is the same as FIG. 6 except that steps 1243 to 1247 are different. Therefore, the different processing will be described. First, in step 1243, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the ceiling flag is off. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1243, in step 1244, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 adds “1” to the usual figure variation number counter value in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Next, in step 1245, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the normal figure variation number counter value has reached a predetermined value (for example, 500). In the case of Yes in step 1245, in step 1246, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190 and sets the special figure probability variation flags on the first game side and the second game side. Turn on each one. Then, in step 1247, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190, turns on the ceiling flag, and performs the next process (first special figure start port electric actor drive determination). The process proceeds to processing 1800). In addition, also in the case of No in steps 1243 and 1245, the process proceeds to the next process (the first special figure starting port electric accessory drive determination process 1800).

  Next, FIG. 46 is a flowchart of a first special figure starting port electric accessory drive determination process, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present modification, relating to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. Here, FIG. 46 is the same as FIG. 7 except that Steps 1812 to 1814 are different. Therefore, these different processes will be described. In step 1812, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 clears the common figure variation number counter value in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Then, in step 1814, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190, turns off the ceiling flag, and performs the next process (first special figure start port electric actor drive control). The process proceeds to processing 1900).

  Next, a flowchart relating to the latter process of obtaining a special figure after the special game when reaching the ceiling will be described. First, FIG. 47 is the same as FIG. 45 except that step 1246 in FIG. 45 does not exist. Next, FIG. 48 is the same as FIG. 46 except that step 1814 does not exist.

  Next, FIG. 49 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present modification example, according to the subroutine of step 9000 in FIG. Here, FIG. 49 is the same as FIG. 13 except that Steps 9042 to 9044 are different. Therefore, these processes will be described. At step 9042, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190 and determines whether or not the ceiling flag is off. If Yes in step 9042, that is, if the ceiling has not been reached, the process proceeds to step 9018. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9042, in step 9044, the special symbol specific game control means 1181 accesses the flag area in the game state temporary storage means 1190, turns off the ceiling flag, and proceeds to step 9020.

Next, a seventh modification of the best mode will be described. In this best mode, when the second special game is executed in the first game side second game state, the game is configured to shift to the continuous jackpot mode (the specific game state of the normal symbol). On the other hand, in the seventh modified example, even when the first special game is executed on the first game side (the second special figure side), it is configured to shift to the continuous jackpot mode. Here, Table 15 is an example of the normal symbol specific game transition determination table 1182a according to this modification. As can be seen from the table, when the second special symbol is a win in the normal symbol normal gaming state / special symbol normal gaming state, if the winning symbol is “a2”, the transition to the probability variable gaming state of the normal symbol To do. In this modified example, even if the second special symbol is winning in the normal symbol normal gaming state / special symbol probability variation gaming state, if the winning symbol is “a2, b2”, the probability variation of the normal symbol Transition to gaming state.

  Next, FIG. 50 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present modification example, according to the subroutine of step 9000 in FIG. Here, FIG. 50 is the same as FIG. 13 except that Step 9002 does not exist and Step 9010, Step 9014, and Step 9016 are different. Note that the difference in step 9010, step 9014 and step 9016 is only the difference in the predetermined mode when satisfying the condition.

  Next, an eighth modification of the best mode will be described. In this best mode, when the third game side (ordinary symbol side) is won, the variable member (first special figure start port electric role) attached to the second game side start port (first special figure start port 2210) The object 2212) is released, but if the game ball does not enter during the opening operation, not only the out-going ball can be acquired but also the subsequent consecutive jackpot is not given (so-called puncture). This modified example is intended to solve this problem of the best mode. Hereinafter, this modified example will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the pachinko gaming machine according to this modification can store a game ball provided above the second special figure starting port 2110 (directly above in the figure). It has a storage device 4000. Here, as shown in FIG. 52, the storage device 4000 is capable of storing a plurality of game balls and has a storage part opened up and down, and a game ball provided in a lower opening part of the storage part downward. And an opening / closing member capable of adopting an “open state” that can be released to the inside and a “closed state” that prevents the game ball from being released from the storage portion. Note that, in a situation where the opening / closing member is in a closed state, the game ball enters the storage portion and is stocked from the upper opening.

  Next, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present modification will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The pachinko gaming machine according to the present modification has a storage device drive control means 1165 that controls the opening / closing of the opening / closing member of the storage device 4000 in addition to the configuration of FIG. 3 in the best mode.

  Next, FIG. 54 is a flowchart of the first special figure starting port electric accessory drive control process, which is one of the characteristic processes of the present modification, relating to the subroutine of step 1900 in FIG. Here, FIG. 54 is the same as FIG. 8 except that step 1913 is different. Therefore, the process will be described. In step 1913, the storage device drive control unit 1165 performs a process of opening the open / close member in the closed state and releasing the game ball existing in the storage unit to the game area 120. By executing such processing, it is possible to suppress puncture even if the game ball cannot be normally launched due to, for example, the condition of the launching device becoming worse at the time of a big hit.

  Next, a ninth modified example of the best mode will be described. In this modified example, when a game state transition (mode transition) opportunity is given after entering the first game side start opening (second special figure start opening 2110), a lottery is performed by executing a ball effect. It is structured to make it easier to understand what is happening. Specifically, for example, a ball effect execution unit that executes a ball effect using an out ball or a pre-installed game ball is provided in an area that does not affect the starting ball. As a specific example, there is a spinning two-hole cloon, and after releasing a ball effect game ball in the circumferential direction of the cron and rotating it around the cron, there are two game balls that lose momentum. A ball production execution unit having a mechanism for entering a hole is provided. The control of the ball effect execution unit is executed by the sub control unit. Then, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110, the effect display control means 2320 on the sub-control unit side releases one game ball toward the 2-hole croon in the ball effect unit and When the game state of the game is a probability variation game state, the 2-hole crew is controlled so that the game ball enters the probability variation hole. On the other hand, if the internal game state is the normal game state, the game ball enters the normal hole. Control the two-hole croon (for example, control so as to enter the other hole by closing one hole). By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to visually enjoy the process up to the mode transition.
