Description

On the pachinko gaming machine.

  The most popular pachinko machines currently have a special symbol on the display section such as 7-segment, which is displayed in a variable manner when a game ball enters the starting port. Is a type that shifts to a special game that is more profitable for the player than the normal game state (such as a conventional “first”). Seed game machine)).

  In recent years, a model (multifunction machine) having a plurality of conventional first-type functions has been proposed in order to further improve game playability. In the case of the above-mentioned multi-function machine, the second start port has a normal electric accessory so that the other start port (second start port) is easier to win than the one start port (first start port). It is configured to make it easy to win the second starting port by making it easier to open the ordinary electric accessory when a specific game state (probability change state or short time state) is provided. Pachinko machines are the mainstream.

  In addition, a pachinko machine that is set so that profits given to the player are greater when the symbol variation display triggered by the second starting port is greater than the symbol variation display triggered by the first starting port is also proposed. Has been. In this pachinko machine, a technique for preferentially digesting the reserved memory of the second starting port when both the reserved memory of the first starting port and the reserved memory of the second starting port are stored is proposed. (For example, Patent Document 1).

Here, the hold function means that when a random number is acquired based on the ball entering the starting port, when the symbol variation permission based on the random number has not been granted, the symbol variation permission based on the random number up to a predetermined number This is a function that temporarily stores data until it goes down. And in a single machine (conventional first type), when a plurality of random numbers are held, the order of holding digest is basically the order of entering balls, but the conventional first type as described above In models with multiple functions, one symbol variation (design variation due to entering the first starting port) and the other symbol variation (design variation resulting from entering the second starting port) are mutually There are a type that is executed independently (parallel type) and a type that is prohibited from changing the other symbol (series type) when one is changing. In the parallel type, the suspension is released in the order of entering the starting ports, as in the first type. In addition, in the case of the series type, the type in which the holding is released in the order of entry of both start ports (for example, when a certain pattern is fluctuating, the first start port → the second start port → the second start port → the first start) In addition, when the hold is made in the order of mouth, the hold is released in the order of the first symbol → second symbol → second symbol → first symbol after the end of the change of the certain symbol) Digestion type (for example, when a certain symbol is fluctuating, if a hold is made in the order of first start port → second start port → second start port → first start port, 2 symbols-> second symbol-> first symbol-> first symbol in this order).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Here, the meaning of each term in this specification is explained. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Variation mode determination random number” for determining, “symbol determination random number” for determining a stop symbol, “winning symbol determination random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Satisfy lottery start condition” means, for example, that a special game is not being played and that the identification information is not being changed. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). For example, visual information includes shapes such as numbers, letters, designs, etc. Can output information (for example, special symbols managed on the main control device side, decorative symbols related to performance games managed on the sub control device side). “Specific gaming state” means, for example, a probability variation gaming state in which the probability of winning a transition to a special game is higher than that in the normal gaming state, and a variation time of a special symbol directly linked to the special gaming transition is more comprehensive than in the normal gaming state. Special symbol time shortened game state that is shortened to an easy release state where the difficulty of entering the starting gate for random number acquisition for the special game transition lottery becomes easier than in the normal game state (for example, Normal symbol probability variation gaming state where the winning probability is higher than in normal gaming state, normal symbol variation shortened gaming state where the variation time of normal symbol is generally shorter than in normal gaming state, when normal symbol stops at the winning symbol One or a combination of a plurality of combinations (open extended gaming state in which the opening time of the electric accessory provided at the start port is longer than that in the normal gaming state). "The first special game and the second special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game" means that the expected number of game balls that can be probabilistically obtained is the second higher than the first special game. This means that there are more special games (for example, the latter is more likely to be selected with a larger number of rounds; the latter has a longer open time for one round; When there is a large number; When the latter chooses a variable prize opening with a larger number of payouts per piece; The latter places a variable prize opening in a place where there is less wasted ball when a game ball is launched If). “Random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, for the first game random number, So-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, “variation mode determination random numbers” for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol , “Symbol determined random number” that determines the stop symbol, “success symbol determined random number” that determines whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, time-reduced game) after a special game, The “winning random number” related to the opening / closing of the variable member, the “design determining random number” for determining the stop symbol of the identification information for auxiliary games, and the like. “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 the stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol, determining the special symbol directly from the random number and determining the decorative symbol from the special symbol). The “variation start condition” means that the identification information or other identification information is not fluctuating, or is not in a special game or a waiting period after the end of a special game. The “first game side specific game state” in the “first game side specific game state different from the first game side normal game state” means, for example, a relatively short (long) variation time compared to the normal game state The state where it is easy to select a thing etc. can be mentioned. “Relatively short” in the first game and the auxiliary game means that the average time of all the variation modes that can be selected in the specific game state is shorter than the average time of all the variation modes that can be selected in the normal game. “The variable member is relatively likely to be in the open state” means that the auxiliary game identification information is more frequently stopped in a predetermined manner than the auxiliary game side normal game state. It refers to a short time, a long opening time of the variable member when the auxiliary game identification information stops in a predetermined manner, or a combination of two or more thereof. Even if different terms are used, they do not necessarily mean different members. 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”. (Similarly, the “second game side distribution means” and the “second game side variable prize opening” can be one member). The following best mode is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 multifunction machine).

  Next, the gaming peripheral device 2000 will be described. Since some of the peripheral devices have already been described in detail, the remaining configuration will be briefly described. First, the gaming peripheral device 2000 includes a first gaming peripheral device that is a peripheral device on the first game side, a second gaming peripheral device that is a peripheral device on the second gaming side, and a first gaming side and a second gaming side. The first and second game shared peripheral devices, which are shared peripheral devices, and the auxiliary game peripheral device 2400 related to the auxiliary game are included. Hereinafter, these peripheral devices will be described in order.

  First, the first gaming peripheral device includes a first special symbol starting port 2210 that triggers the transition to a special game, and a first special symbol display device 2130 capable of displaying stoppage and variation of the first special symbol. Yes.

  Next, the second gaming peripheral device has a second special symbol starting port 2110 that triggers the transition to the special game, and a second special symbol display device 2230 that can display the stop and change display of the second special symbol. ing.

  Next, the first and second game shared peripheral devices are in a closed state during a normal game, and in a special game (big hit), a first grand prize winning port 2120 that is open under predetermined conditions; The second big prize opening 2220 which is in a closed state during a normal game and is opened under a predetermined condition in a special game (big hit), a stop display and a change display of a decorative symbol, and a game during a special game It includes an effect display device 2310 that performs display related to the effect, including a display indicating the progress status, and an effect control means 2320 that manages all display control related to the effect. The production is related to the display of only the information that does not affect the game result, including the variation of the decorative symbol in a form synchronized with the variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in time. is there.

  Here, the effect control unit 2320 performs the effect display control on the effect display device 2310 based on the information receiving unit 2321 for receiving various information from the main control device 1000 side and the information from the main control device 1000 side. Display control means 2322 for performing the above. Hereafter, each said means is explained in full detail.

  First, the information receiving means 2321 has main-side information temporary storage means 2321a for temporarily storing symbol information related to the main game from the main controller 1000 side. Note that the symbol information temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a is appropriately referred to as necessary by various units described later in each process described below.

  Next, the display control means 2322 includes a decoration symbol display control means 2322a for controlling the decorative symbol change display and stop display on the decoration display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310, and the drawing display reservation of the effect display device 2310.

And have.

Here, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a is a device for determining the stop symbol and the variation mode of the decorative symbol based on the symbol information from the main control device 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a. The figure display content determination means 2322a-1 and a drawing change mode storage for storing all data related to effects including data (various object data, moving image data, audio data, etc.) related to decorative symbols and decorative symbol variations. Means 2322a-2. Here, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 determines the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1 for reference when determining the variation mode of the decorative symbol, and the decorative symbol stop symbol. And a stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2 for reference. Furthermore, the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1 is used for normal game / probability variation games (non-short-time), which are referred to when determining the variation pattern of decorative symbols during normal game and hidden probability variation. Drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1-1, and probability variation game (short time) that is referred to when determining the variation mode of decorative symbols during probability variation games (short time) and time shortening games -It has a lottery table 2322a-1-1-2 for determining fluctuation contents during time shortening games. These tables have different tables for each of the high profit jackpot (15 rounds), the low profit jackpot (2 rounds), the jackpot and the loss. Here, Table 5 shows an example of the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1. As can be seen from the table, the lottery table 2322a-1-1 for determining the fluctuation contents at the time of the probability variation game (short time) / time shortening game does not have a table at the time of low profit big hit. This is because, in these states, that is, when the probability variation game (short time) or time-reduced game, the change of the first special symbol that triggers the low profit jackpot is prohibited, so it is assumed that the low profit jackpot This is because there is no need to provide a variation mode table corresponding to the low profit jackpot. In this best mode, the effect display control means (sub-board side) is configured not to have a table that is referred to at the time of low profit big hit as a table that is referred to at the time of probability variation game (short time) and time reduction game. However, this is only an example. That is, it is essential that a special game that is not supposed to be selected due to the prohibition of lottery of the first random number is not provided with a reference (lottery) table corresponding to the special game. In this best mode, random numbers are acquired on the effect display control means (sub board) side based on the fluctuation time information from the main controller (main board) 1000 side, and the variation pattern of the decorative symbols is changed based on the gaming state. Although determined to be determined, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an effect to be performed on the sub board side is substantially determined on the main board side, and an effect (for example, a decorative design) uniquely associated with the ID information is executed based on the ID information transmitted from the main board side. You may comprise.

  Next, the drawing hold information display control means 2322b has a drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1 for temporarily storing the current number of held balls.

  In addition, the effect control means 2320 further controls all controls related to effects other than image display, such as effect processing such as lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 190 and sound output from the speaker 114. In the best mode, the effect control means 2320 is configured to integrally control the decorative symbol, the game lamp, and the sound, but is configured to be separated as a functionally separate peripheral device. May be. In this case, the peripheral devices may be connected to each other with a board-to-board connector.

In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306 and step 1308, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 determines the first game content determination random number (first winning random number, first variation mode determination random number, first special symbol determination). Random number, etc.) and the first special figure holding means 1131 stores the first game content determination random number in the first special figure holding information temporarily together with the order information indicating what number of the first special symbol is held. Set in the means 1131a. Next, in step 1309, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, and obtains information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the first special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1310, the second special figure starting port entrance determining means 1112 receives the second special figure starting port entrance information from the second special figure starting port entrance detecting device 2111 of the second special figure starting port 2110. It is determined whether or not it has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 refers to the second special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1132a, and whether or not the number of the reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314 and step 1316, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 determines the second game content determination random number (second winning random number, second variation mode determination random number, second special symbol determination). Random number), and the second special figure holding means 1132 stores the second game content determination random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means together with the order information indicating what number of the second special symbol is held. Set to 1132a. Next, in step 1317, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and acquires information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the second special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the display control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive driving determination process 1200).

First, in step 1202, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the electric chew release flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the ordinary figure content determining means 1143 refers to the ordinary 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 1206, in step 1208, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines the stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball and the gaming state. Next, in step 1210, the usual figure fluctuation time management means 1154a sets the usual figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 to the usual figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds in the case of a short-time game, in the case of a normal game). Set 30 seconds). Then, in step 1212, the normal figure control means 1154 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193 a. Next, in step 1214, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-purpose control means. 1154 starts a normal symbol variation display on the universal symbol display unit 2421 after starting the common symbol variation management timer 1154a-1. Next, in step 1216, 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 1216, in step 1218, the general map control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination means 1143 in step 1208 on the general map display unit 2421. Then, in step 1220, the common figure control means 1154 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 sets the electric chew release time management timer 1162 to a predetermined time (for example, a short-time game) based on the game state when the normal symbol is stopped (current). 5 seconds in the case, 0.5 seconds in the case of normal games). Next, in step 1226, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric chew release flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1228, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110. Next, in step 1230, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric chew opening time management timer 1162 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Steps 1232 and 1234, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 and temporarily turns the auxiliary game related information temporarily. The electric chew release flag in the storage means 1193a is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (normal game process 14).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1230. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1216. If No in Step 1206, Step 1216, Step 1222, and Step 1230, the next process (normal game) is performed. Move to processing 14).

Next, in 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 operation condition determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game control process 16).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process and the second special symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is common to the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, the first special symbol side will be mainly described, unless otherwise specified, and the second special symbol side will be written in parentheses. Describe. First, in step 1800, main controller 1000 executes variation start condition satisfaction determination processing described later. Next, 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 permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on. Determine. The “variation start permission flag” is a flag that is turned on in a variation start condition satisfaction determination process, which will be described later, and that is turned on under the condition that a special game or a special symbol is not changing. In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off. Next, in step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The first game content determination random number (second game content determination random number) relating to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read. Next, in step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 uses the first game content determination random number (first winning random number) {second game content determining random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol success / failure (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 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 turns on the winning 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). Referring to each lottery table, the first game content determination random number (for example, first special symbol determination random number, first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, second special symbol determination random number, second variation) The stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined based on the mode determination random number)}, and these are determined as the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Temporarily store. The table to be referred to is determined based on the success / failure result / game state (probability variation game state or time-reduced game state) (and so on). However, for the first special symbol, the change is permitted only in the normal game state and the non-time / temporal probability variation game state, and a common table is referred to in the normal game state and the non-time / short-time probability variation game state. Since it is configured, the gaming state is not considered. Next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1300 performs effect control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the means 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 special symbol fluctuation display is started according to the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

  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, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control unit 1100 turns off the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Next, in step 1446, the game control means 1100 turns on the special game (big hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  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 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. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the 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, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, and determines whether or not the special game is being played. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are currently changing. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1806, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the second special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether there is a hold for the second special symbol. . In the case of Yes in step 1806, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the second special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Thus, in this best mode, in any state, when there is a hold on the second special symbol side, the hold related to the second special symbol is preferentially digested.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1806, that is, if there is no hold related to the second special symbol, in step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, It is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is off. Here, in the case of No in step 1810, that is, when the current state is the probability variation gaming state at the time saving time or the time shortening gaming state, even if there is a hold of the first special symbol, The process does not give permission to hold a special symbol, and proceeds to the next process (step 1402). As described above, in the best mode, the second special symbol is displayed in the time-reduced gaming state, that is, in the easily opened state in which the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is easily opened in conjunction with the time-reduced gaming state. A process for prohibiting the variation of the first special symbol is executed so that only the game based on is executed. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in Step 1810, in Step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the first special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether or not there is a hold for the first special symbol. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802, step 1804, and step 1812.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1451, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a-1 and determines whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the hour / times counter updating control means 1181a subtracts 1 from the hour / times counter value of the hour / times counter 1181a-1. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a-1 and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). . In addition, also when it is No in step 1451, step 1452, and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the predetermined mode. The process proceeds to step 1508. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the current hit is a small hit (second small special game). In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 turns off the special figure probability changing flag in the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190. In step 1514, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 temporarily stores in the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182 that the game state before the special game was a probability variation game state. This information is used when determining the gaming state after the end of the special game. This completes the once-end process of the probability variation gaming state.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and turns off the time reduction flag. In step 1520, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 clears the time reduction counter 1181b to set the time reduction count to 0, and proceeds to step 1528. With the above, the time-short gaming state once ending process is ended.

  After completing the above processing, in step 1528, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to the next processing (special game control processing in step 16). Transition. In the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 16). In the case of No in step 1510, the process proceeds to step 1516, and in the case of No in steps 1508 and 1516. Goes to step 1528.

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit 1173 sets the release pattern (for example, release) set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Set the opening pattern to continue and the pattern to open and close. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game management timer 1174a (particularly, an open time timer) and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game management 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 executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is the final round (for example, 9 rounds if the big win, 1 round if the big win) It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1636, 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 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect control means 2320 side. In step 1650, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, 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. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure information temporary storage means 1191b, and determines whether the current special game is a probability variation jackpot (first special symbol = 7A, second special symbol = 7B). Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654 and step 1656, the specific game control means 1180 determines the time reduction flag (time reduction flag for special figure and time reduction flag for general figure) and probability variation flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. Are turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, in step 1658, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure information temporary storage means 1191b, and the special game of this time is a sudden probability variation jackpot (first special symbol = 3A). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1658, in step 1660, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the game state before the transition to the current special game was not the probability variation game state. judge. If Yes in step 1660, the process proceeds to step 1656, and if No in step 1660, the process proceeds to step 1654. In this way, in this best mode, a short time is given when a sudden probability change jackpot is won during a probability variation game, but a short time is awarded when a sudden probability change jackpot is won during a non-stochastic game. It is configured not to be.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1658, in step 1662, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure information temporary storage means 1191b, and the special game of this time is usually a big jackpot (first special symbol = 1A, second special symbol) = 1B). In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flag (time reduction flag for special figure and time reduction flag for ordinary figure) in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. In 1666, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 100) as the time / count counter value in the time / count counter 1181a-1 and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700). In the case of No in step 1662, that is, when the current special game is a small hit, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  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. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 7100, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control unit 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display control processing described later. In step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 6400. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display process according to the subroutine of Step 7100 in FIG. First, in step 7102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether or not hold information is received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 7102, in step 7104, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b adds 1 to the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322 b-1. In step 7105, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b displays the same number of hold as the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and the next processing {step 6100 (1) The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display content determination process}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not new symbol information has been received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 7106, in step 7108, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. In step 7110, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 7105.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. Here, since step 6100 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6100 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether new symbol information has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 is based on the symbol information received in step 6102 and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322 a-1-1 and stop symbol determination. With reference to the lottery table 2322a-1-2, the decoration pattern variation mode and the stop symbol are determined. In step 6106, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination flag, and performs the next process {step 6200 (1). The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display control process}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since step 6200 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6200 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6202, 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 symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322a and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6204, in step 6206 and step 6208, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and sets the symbol content determination flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determined contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c on the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. Starts variable display of decorative symbols.

  In step 6212, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a and determines whether or not a final display command has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6214, the decoration symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents (stop symbols) temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed on the display unit 2311. In step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300). Transition.

  If NO in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212. If NO in step 6204 and step 6212, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the special game (during jackpot) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306 and step 6308, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310, the display control means 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624. Next, in Step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 7100). Transition. If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in step 6304 and step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management / holding display control process in step 7100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. Therefore, when explaining the figure in time series, the previous stage of the timing chart (until “2R jackpot” in the figure) is a probability variation gaming state, but is not a special symbol time reduction state (therefore, Normal symbol time reduction, probability fluctuation, and open extension state). For this reason, as shown in the bottom column of the figure, when both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are on hold, the second special symbol on hold is preferentially executed. . Referring to the figure in view of this state, the first special figure starting port (first) → the first special figure starting port (second) → the second special figure starting port (third) → the first Game balls enter in the order of special figure starting port (4th) → first special figure starting port (5th) ... but third than the reserved digest based on the second first special figure starting port The suspension digestion based on the second special figure starting opening is executed first. Under such a condition, the first special symbol stops at the jackpot symbol “3A”. Here, the jackpot symbol “3A” is a jackpot symbol which is executed in a low profit special game (2R in this example) and shifts to a probability variation game after the special game ends. In response to the stop of the winning symbol, a special game in a low profit state is executed.

  After the special game in the low profit state is executed, the game shifts to the probability variation gaming state and the special symbol time shortening state (therefore, the normal symbol time shortening / probability variation / opening extension state). This is because the best mode is configured such that a short-time game is also added when winning the probability variation jackpot (the aforementioned “3A”) of the low profit special game during the probability variation game. In such a state, as shown in the bottom column of the figure, even if there is a hold of the first special symbol, the hold digestion is prohibited. Referring to the figure in view of such a state, after the low-profit special game is over, the first special symbol has been reserved (4) even though there is a reserve (four). 1 The special symbol change is not executed and the game is stopped. Then, when the game ball enters the second special figure starting port, the game is substantially restarted by executing the variation of the second special symbol. As a result, as long as this state (the time shortening state in this best mode) continues, the lottery based on the hold of the first special symbol is not executed. As a result, only the lottery based on the hold of the more advantageous second special symbol is received. . Therefore, for example, even when winning the probability variation jackpot, the jackpot symbol that shifts to the low profit special game such as “3A” of the first special symbol is not selected, and is shown in this timing chart. Only jackpot symbols that shift to high profit special games such as “7B” are selected.

  According to this best mode, a gaming machine in which a lottery is executed after acquiring different random numbers based on the entrance to a plurality of start openings, and winning by lottery based on the entrance to one start opening In this case, a higher profit can be given to the player than in the case of winning by lottery based on the entrance to the other start opening, and it becomes easier to enter the one start opening in a specific gaming state. In the pachinko machine designed in the above, since it is configured to prohibit the lottery based on the entrance to the other starting port in the specific gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine to the second starting port having a high profit state in the specific gaming state There is an effect that it is possible to more reliably implement a game as designed in which only the lottery based on the entry is executed.

  Furthermore, since there is no table for determining the variation content of the first identification information in the specific gaming state, there is an effect that the capacity is further reduced.

  Furthermore, when counting the number of times in a specific game state with a limited number of times, the number of lotteries based on the entrance to the first starting port is not counted, and only the number of lotteries based on the entrance to the second starting port is counted. Since it is comprised, there exists an effect that a control burden is reduced as a result of not having to perform the count process based on the entrance to the 1st start opening.

  Hereinafter, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. It should be noted that all the modifications described below are also applied to the second best mode described later. First, in this best mode, when the holding of both the first special symbol and the second special symbol exists, the holding of the second special symbol is preferentially digested, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the order of entry (for example, when entering in the order of the first special figure entrance, the first special figure starting port, the second special figure starting port, etc., the first special symbol → the first special symbol) → Changes in the order of the second special symbol... Or in a situation where the change of the first special symbol is not prohibited, the first special symbol may be preferentially digested.

  Furthermore, in this best mode, the hold related to the second special symbol is consumed under any circumstances, but it is not a normal gaming state (for example, a probability variation gaming state or a short-time gaming state). Under the state), it may be configured such that the reserved digest of the second special symbol is prohibited in the same manner as the reserved digest of the first special symbol is prohibited under specific conditions. With this configuration, when a transition is made to a probability variation game after a special game, there is a situation in which a second special symbol hold advantageous to the player exists. It is possible to provide a player with a ball as originally designed, which is to provide more balls as compared to the case of winning.

  Furthermore, in this best mode, compared with the normal game, the easy opening state where the game ball can easily enter the second special figure starting port, that is, the normal symbol of the normal symbol that shifts in conjunction with the short game state of the special symbol. In the short-time gaming state, the probability variation game state of the normal symbol, and the second special figure start opening motor combination open extended state, the first special symbol hold release is prohibited, but is not limited to this . For example, in the special symbol probability variation gaming state, the first special symbol hold release may be prohibited, or in the special symbol probability variation gaming state + second special diagram start-up easy opening state. You may comprise so that the hold cancellation | release of 1 special symbol may be prohibited.

  Furthermore, in this best mode, the player cannot be involved with which timing is released at what timing, such as prohibition of reserved digestion or priority digestion of the first special symbol. Therefore, it may be configured such that suspended digestion prohibition or priority digestion processing is executed based on the player's intention. Such a modified example first includes an operation means (for example, an input button) that can be operated by the player. And by the operation of the operation means, for example, (1) suspension release prohibition of the first special symbol, (2) suspension release prohibition release of the first special symbol, (3) suspension release prohibition of the second special symbol, (4 ) Cancellation of suspension release prohibition of the second special symbol, (5) Preferential digestion of the first special symbol, (6) Release preferential digestion of the first special symbol, (7) Preferential digestion of the second special symbol, (8) Second One or any of the preferential digestion cancellation of special symbols is executed.

  Furthermore, in this best mode, the first special symbol can be changed after the number of times of change of the second special symbol reaches 100 after shifting to the short-time game with a limited number of times (100 times in this example). Has been. That is, the variation of the predetermined symbol (in this example, the first special symbol) is prohibited in a form that is completely linked to the short-time game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. After the special game is over, the predetermined symbol (for example, 30 times or 50 times) is determined by the number of times determined by lottery or the like or the number of times associated with the winning symbol that triggered the special game (for example, 30 times or 50 times). For example, you may comprise so that the fluctuation | variation of a 1st special symbol) may be prohibited. In this case, for example, if the number of hourly games with a limited number of times is 100 and the number of times that the variation of the first special symbol is prohibited is 50 times, the second time is 50 Only the special symbol will change, and the remaining 50 times will be a situation where the second special symbol is preferentially digested but the change of the first special symbol is not prohibited. By configuring in this way, even in the same short-time game, there are different game states, a first state in which only a symbol advantageous to the player fluctuates and a second state in which a symbol disadvantageous to the player may fluctuate. It can be constructed, and it becomes possible to improve the fun of the game. Here, in the scope of this patent claim, etc., “when the lottery execution determination unit determines whether or not the lottery execution condition for the first random number is not satisfied during the specific game state when the special game state is entered after the special game is completed.

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 best mode, the main controller 1000 is provided with a payout control function, but may be configured so as to be provided in 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 (for example, time reduction variation big hit, small hit, loss), information on variation mode (for example, variation time), special game start signal / state information / end signal, hold information, etc. }, And a prize ball payout determining means 1400 for controlling the prize ball payout device 3000 so as to pay out a predetermined prize ball based on the winning of game balls to various winning holes. doing.

  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, a hold control means 1130 for temporarily storing a ball entering each start port during a variable display as a hold ball within an upper limit number, and a first to be described later Winning lottery means 1135 for drawing whether or not the winning is based on the game content determination random number / second game content determination random number (winning random number), and the variation start condition of the first special symbol and the second special symbol {not in special game The symbol change start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 for determining whether or not the special symbol is not changing} and the random number are used to determine whether the symbol is stopped and the change mode (change time, etc.) The Symbol content determining means 1140 for determining, display control means 1150 for performing control of changing and stopping each symbol, and opening / closing of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 of the second special diagram starting port 2110 Electric Chu open / close control means 1160 for performing various processes directly related to the determination, special game control means 1170 for controlling each special game (big hit game, small hit game) advantageous to the player over the normal game, With respect to the first game, the second game, and the auxiliary game, a specific game control means 1180 for performing a determination as to which game state the current game state is to be transferred, and a process for shifting the game state based on the determination, Gaming state [e.g., state relating to the main game {normal gaming state, specific gaming state (time-reduced gaming state), special gaming state}, state relating to auxiliary gaming (easy release state) , Non-easily released state), stop symbol and variation mode information related to special symbols, on / off status of various flags, gaming state during special game (for example, number of rounds and winning information), etc. Storage means 1190. 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 game content determination random number based on the game ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210, and according to the determination result, A first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 for acquiring random numbers (for example, a first winning random number, a first variation mode determining random number, a first special symbol determining random number, etc.) and a game ball to the second special figure starting port 2110 It is determined whether or not the second game content determination random number is acquired on the basis of the incoming game, and the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determining random number, the second special symbol determining random number is determined according to the determination result) Etc.) and a normal figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 for determining whether or not the normal symbol winning random number can be acquired and acquiring the random number based on the determination result; have.

  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 unit 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the first game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the first special symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is determined as a symbol. The first special figure holding means 1131 for holding in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a until the change permission is given, and the second game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the second special symbol change permission is not given. The second special figure holding means 1132 for holding the random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a until the symbol variation permission is granted based on the determination result, Decide whether or not to temporarily store the normal symbol winning random number acquired in a situation where the symbol variation permission has not been granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is temporarily stored until the symbol variation permission is granted And a Prussian diagram holding means 1133 for holding the 憶 means 1133a. Here, the first special figure holding means 1131, the second special figure holding means 1132 and the universal figure holding means 1133 are capable of storing up to four, and for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order. The first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a are provided. Furthermore, in addition to the random number, the first special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and the second special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1132a also temporarily store information related to the order in which the random number hold is released.

Next, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 makes a decision to shift to a special game (big hit, small hit) if the winning lottery result is a win (for example, the win flag is turned on internally) and the small win game A special game transition determining means 1135a for determining a transition to a special game (big hit) when a game ball passes the specific area 2331a at the time, and a winner / lottery table 1135b to be referred to when performing the winner / halter lottery Have. Here, the success / failure lottery table 1135b is a first special-effects success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 that is referred to when performing a big-hit lottery for the first special symbol, and a big-hit / small-hit lottery for the second special symbol. And a second special figure use lottery table 1135b-3 which is referred to when performing. In this best mode, there is only one special-use winning / losing lottery table, but in addition to the normal gaming state, there is also a probability-variable gaming state in which a big winning (small winning) lottery is performed with a higher lottery probability than the normal gaming state. With regard to the aspect having, a low probability lottery table used in the normal gaming state (time-reduced gaming state) and a high probability lottery table used in the probability varying gaming state are configured. Here, Table 6 is an example of the success / failure lottery table 1135b. As can be seen from Table 6, in this best mode, there is a small hit only on the second special figure side. This is because, as described above, the second special figure starting port 2110 enters substantially only in the special figure short game state (+ easy opening state in conjunction with this), so the special figure short game state (+ this) This means that the jackpot development jackpot occurs only in the easy-release state linked with the. However, you may comprise so that a small hit may generate | occur | produce with a 1st special symbol. In the best mode, the big hit and the small hit are configured in the same table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit and the small hit may be determined in different tables.

  Next, the symbol content determination means 1140 determines the first special symbol content determination that determines the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the first special symbol based on the acquired first game content determination random number (first random number). Means 1141, second special figure content determining means 1142 for determining the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the second special symbol based on the acquired second game content determination random number (second random number), and There is a general symbol content determining means 1143 for determining a stop symbol of the normal symbol based on the normal symbol winning random number.

  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, the gaming state, and the number of reserved balls (for example, for the gaming state, for the normal gaming → the first special figure normal gaming state) Lottery table, time reduction game → first special figure time reduction 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, the gaming state, and the number of reserved balls (for example, for the gaming state, the normal game → the second special figure normal gaming state lottery). Table, time reduction game → second special drawing time reduction game state lottery table). Further, the general content determination means 1143 has a general content determination lottery table 1143a that is referred to when determining a stop symbol related to a normal symbol, and the general content determination lottery table 1143a is a game. Various winning tables that differ depending on the state are provided (normal game → normal drawing normal lottery table, time reduction game → normal drawing time reducing lottery table).

Here, Table 7 is an example of a stop symbol determination table in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a). As described above, in the best mode, since there is no jackpot on the first special symbol side, only the jackpot table exists, whereas on the second special symbol side, there are tables for jackpot and small jackpot.

Next, Table 8 shows an example of the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. As can be seen from the table, the second special symbol has a different table for each gaming state such as a normal gaming state and a time shortening state, as in the case of a normal gaming machine. On the other hand, only the table in the normal gaming state exists for the first special symbol. This is because, as will be described later, the first special symbol does not fluctuate under the situation where the time reduction flag is on. Regarding the second special symbol, when the game is lost in the short-time game, the overall variation time is selected as compared with the loss table in the normal game state. Furthermore, a different variation mode may be selected according to the number of reserved balls (for example, when there are three or four reserves at the time of holding digestion, a short variation time is selected. May be configured).

  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.

In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operation condition determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process {special game (small hit) control process in step 1600A}. For ease of understanding, the special game operation condition determination process 1500 will be described after a special game (small hit) control process 1600A described later.

  FIG. 31 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 1800, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 executes a variation start condition satisfaction determination process described later. 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 permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on, That is, it is determined whether or not the variation start condition for the first special symbol (second special symbol) is satisfied. The variation start condition will be described later.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off. In step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) temporarily stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The stored first game content determination random number (second game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation is read out. Next, in step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 uses the first game content determination random number (first winning random number) {second game content determining random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol success / failure (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 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 turns on the winning 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). Referring to each lottery table, the first game content determination random number (for example, first special symbol determination random number, first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, second special symbol determination random number, second variation) The stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined based on the mode determination random number)}, and these are determined as the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Temporarily store. 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). As for winning, there are big hits and small hits, but as long as they are configured so that stop symbols and fluctuation modes are selected in a differentiated manner, display contents are determined using separate tables. Alternatively, the display content may be determined using the same table (the same applies to the following). Next, in step 1414, the information transmission means 1300 produces and displays the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the control means 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 special symbol fluctuation display is started according to the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). 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, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control unit 1100 turns off the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Next, in step 1442, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1442, in step 1446, the game control unit 1100 turns on the special game (big hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1442, in step 1448, the game control unit 1100 turns on the special game (small hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . 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. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the 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, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, and determines whether or not the special game is being played. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are currently changing. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1806, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the second special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether there is a hold for the second special symbol. . In the case of Yes in step 1806, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the second special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Thus, in this best mode, in any state, when there is a hold on the second special symbol side, the hold related to the second special symbol is preferentially digested.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1806, that is, if there is no hold related to the second special symbol, in step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, It is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is off. Here, in the case of No in Step 1810, that is, when the game is currently in a time-reduced game state, even if there is a hold of the first special symbol, the reservation digest permission of the first special symbol is not issued, The process proceeds to the next process (step 1402). As described above, in the best mode, the second special symbol is displayed in the time-reduced gaming state, that is, in the easily opened state in which the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is easily opened in conjunction with the time-reduced gaming state. A process for prohibiting the variation of the first special symbol is executed so that only the game based on is executed. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in Step 1810, in Step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the first special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether or not there is a hold for the first special symbol. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802, step 1804, and step 1812.

  By the way, in the case of this best mode, it is assumed that the small hitting development jackpot is provided only in the short-time gaming state. Therefore, it is preferable not to allow lottery execution (in the case of this example, symbol variation start) based on the entered ball even if the ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110 in the normal gaming state. That is, it may be configured such that the reserved digest of the second special symbol is prohibited in the same manner that the reserved digest of the first special symbol is prohibited under specific conditions. The processing example is a flowchart shown in the lower part of FIG. 32 (second special figure fluctuation prohibition Ver during normal game). Here, only the processing different from the above-described processing (Ver in which the variation of the second special symbol is not prohibited during the normal game) will be described. In step 1806, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1806, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the second special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a, and determines whether or not there is a hold for the second special symbol. . In the case of Yes in step 1808, in step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the second special symbol, and On the other hand, if the result of the process (step 1402) is “No” in step 1806, in step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the first special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a, and the first special symbol is determined. Determine whether there is a hold. In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Particularly noteworthy here are the case of No in step 1808 and the case of No in step 1812. For the former, it means that even if there is a hold of the first special symbol during the short-time game, variation is not permitted, and for the latter, even if there is a hold of the second special symbol during the normal game, variation is not permitted. Means.

  In step 6320A, display control means 2322 turns on the specific area related display flag in the flag area of effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in Step 6322A, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not a special game (small hit) end signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6322A, in step 6324A, the display control unit 2322 performs a special game (small hit) end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6326A and step 6328A, the display control means 2322 turns off the specific area related display flag and the small hitting flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, respectively, and the next process {in special game The process proceeds to the (big hit) display control process 6300B}. If NO in step 6302A, the process proceeds to step 6310A. If NO in step 6304A, step 6312A, and step 6322A, the process proceeds to the next process {special game (during big hit) display control process 6300B}. In the case of No in 6310A, the process proceeds to Step 6320A.

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the special game (during jackpot) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300B in FIG. First, in step 6302B, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302B, in step 6304B, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in Step 6304B, in Step 6306B and Step 6308B, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310B, the display control unit 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624B. Next, in step 6312B, the display control means 2322 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2121a, and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312B, in step 6314B, the display control unit 2322 performs a jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316B, the display control means 2322 turns off the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (first decorative symbol display content determination process 6100). . If NO in step 6302B, the process proceeds to step 6310B. If NO in step 6304B and step 6312B, the process proceeds to the next process (first decorative symbol display content determination process 6100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. First, the gaming machine is configured so as not to enter the second special figure starting port 2110 substantially under normal gaming conditions (the time flag is off). This is because, as shown in FIG. 22, the first special figure starting port 2210 exists immediately above the entrance area of the second special figure starting port 2110, and therefore the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112. In addition to not entering the second special figure starting port 2110 unless the player is in the open state, the probability of winning the normal figure in the normal game is set to be extremely low (preferably 1/500 or less, more Preferably 1/1000 or less, particularly preferably 1/10000, for example 1/65536). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 43, in this normal gaming state, only the first special symbol changes. Under such circumstances, the first special symbol for the fourth time is stopped at the jackpot symbol “7A”, and the jackpot is rushed. Here, in this best mode, with respect to a normal jackpot that is not a jackpot development jackpot, if the winning pattern that triggered the jackpot is in a predetermined mode, the game shifts to a time-limited game with a limited number of times after the jackpot ends. It is designed as follows. Therefore, the game shifts to a short-time game after the end of the jackpot. In this situation, the variation of the first special symbol is prohibited. Therefore, even though there are four first special symbol holds after the end of the special game, there is a game stop state in which none of the symbols has changed. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a jackpot (in this example, “3A”) to which no time is given, which is assumed by the fact that the lottery on the first special symbol side is executed during the time reduction, is drawn. Become. Then, as a result of the short-time game, the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 is likely to be in an open state, and therefore enters the second special figure start port 2210. This is because the probability of winning a normal figure in a short-time game is set to be extremely high (preferably 1/10 or more, more preferably 1/2 or more, particularly preferably 1 / 1.5, for example, 65535. / 65536), the open time is extended (for example, 0.1 seconds for normal games → 3 seconds for short games), and the fluctuation time of normal symbols is reduced. As for the second special symbol, as described above (see Table 6), the majority is a small hit. As a result, as shown in FIG. 43, small hits occur in succession, and when the fifth hit is made, the game ball that has entered the sorting device 2330 that has been opened with the small hit as an opportunity is As a result of entering a specific area in the minute device, a small hit development jackpot. In addition, since the small hit symbol which became the opportunity of the said small hit development jackpot is "1B", it will rush into a short time game again after the said big hit.
