Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, and particularly relates to a gaming machine provided with two types of symbol display units.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a gaming machine that plays a game using two types of special symbols (a first special symbol and a second special symbol) has been proposed in order to increase the variation of game characteristics and enhance the interest of the game. The special symbol is a symbol determined by the game control means. For example, information such as the type of jackpot (probability variation jackpot that becomes a probability variation state or non-probability variation jackpot that does not become a probability variation state), and the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state Is included.

In addition, when the result of the first symbol variation game for varying the first special symbol is a probable big hit, the second time until the symbol variation number and the number of prize balls determined based on the first special symbol are reached. A gaming machine has been proposed in which a small hit gaming state is continued in a second symbol variation game in which a special symbol is varied (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the prior art described in Patent Document 1, variations in game characteristics (big hit, small hit, etc.) increase, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.
JP 2006-6411 A (Claims 1, 2, [0005], [0006], [0105], etc.)

  However, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, the end condition of the small hit gaming state in the second symbol variation game is determined in advance when the probability variation big hit is reached in the first special symbol. It can be easily assumed how many prize balls can be obtained by winning. As a result, there is a problem that the feeling of expectation for the small hit gaming state is diminished and the game motivation is impaired.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to maintain a sense of expectation for a small hit gaming state by making it impossible to assume the number of winning balls that can be obtained. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the performance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is different from the first start winning device disposed at a predetermined position on the game board surface and the first start winning device on the game board surface. And a first special symbol display unit for displaying a first symbol variation game for varying the first special symbol in response to a winning of a game ball in the first starting prize device. And a second special symbol display section for displaying a second symbol variation game for varying the second special symbol, triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second start winning device, a closed state not accepting a hit ball, and A gaming machine comprising a winning device that can be switched to an open state in which it is easy to accept a hit ball, and a game control means for controlling the entire gaming machine, wherein the game control means wins a result of the first symbol variation game To determine whether or not A jackpot determining means, when the determination result by the first jackpot determination section become big hit, and determines the jackpot symbol as the first special symbol, when the determination result by the first jackpot determination section become loss, When the determination result by the first symbol determining means for determining the lost symbol as the first special symbol and the first jackpot determining means is a big hit, the big winning device can release the jackpot for winning the game ball. A first big hit game state giving means for giving a first big hit game state that becomes a first released state, and a second big hit determination means for judging whether or not the result of the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit. , when the determination result by the second jackpot determination section become big hit, and determines the jackpot symbol as the second special symbol, the second jackpot determining means When the determination result is lost, when the determination result by the second symbol determining means for determining the lost symbol as the second special symbol and the determination result by the second big hit determining means is a big hit, the big winning device is A second big hit game state giving means for giving a second big hit game state to be in a first released state; a small hit determination means for judging whether or not the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit; When the determination result by the hit determination means is a small hit game, the big winning device gives a small hit game state in which the small winning game state is set to the second open state, which is the open state for the small hit that the game ball can win. State giving means, and the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state have a first probability variation in which the probability of jackpot is higher than that in the normal gaming state after the round effect is executed more than a predetermined number of times. A first probability variation jackpot to which a dynamic state or a second probability variation state is given, and a second probability variation jackpot to which the second probability variation state is imparted after execution of more round effects than the predetermined number of times A third probability variation big hit that is given the first probability variation state after the number of round effects is executed, and a fourth probability variation that is given the second probability variation state after the predetermined number of round effects are executed. Either a big hit or a non-probability big hit that is not given the first probability variation state or the second probability variation state after the round effect is executed more than the predetermined number of times, and the game of the second symbol variation game the probability that a result is Koatari, the first symbol variation game result is high is set than probability of Koatari, the first symbol variation game or the result of the second symbol variation games the After the become jackpot in per symbol second probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit is assigned, by performing a game in the second symbol variation game, play a game in the first symbol variation game The game proceeds to the second probability variation state where the game state is more advantageous to the player, and the result of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit in the big hit symbol and the first after probability variation big hit or the third probability variation big hit is assigned, by performing a game in the first symbol variation game, which is advantageous gaming state for the player than play a game in the second symbol variation games the shifts to the first probability change state, wherein in the first the first symbol variation game in the probability change state, the third probability variation jackpot will not have been granted, the second in the probability change state Oite, together with the third probability variation big hit and the fourth probability variation jackpot it is no longer applied, the second probability variation jackpot will tends to be applied, when the transition to at least the second random variation state, the large The winning device is in the second open state, and the second probability variation state is paid out based on the winning of the game ball in the second release state per unit time as compared with the first probability variation state. When the number of balls is increased and the transition to the first probability variation state is made, the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit compared to the case of transition to the second probability variation state. The gist of the gaming machine is that it is difficult to win a game ball in the large winning device in this case.

  Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the second symbol variation game is repeated until the big hit with the second big hit symbol that triggers the start of the first symbol fluctuation game. Therefore, the player cannot assume the timing when the continuation state of the second symbol variation game ends, and therefore cannot assume the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the small hit in the second symbol variation game. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for a small hit, and to improve the interest in games.

  Here, as the first special symbol display unit and the second special symbol display unit suitable in the present invention, an electric symbol display unit such as a liquid crystal type, a dot matrix type, an electroluminescence element type, a seven segment type, etc. In addition, a mechanical symbol display unit such as a drum type or a belt type can be used, but it is particularly preferable to use an electric symbol display unit, and more particularly a liquid crystal type among electric symbol display units. It is preferable to use those. In this way, it becomes easy to execute complex effects in the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game.

In addition, the big winning device can be switched between a closed state where no hit ball is accepted and an open state where the hit ball is easy to accept. In addition, as a specific example of the closed state, for example, a state where the big prize opening door of the big prize winning device is completely closed can be cited. On the other hand, as a specific example of the open state, for example, a state in which the grand prize opening door is completely opened can be cited.

  Further, the first symbol determining means is one of a first jackpot symbol that triggers the start of the second symbol variation game, a second jackpot symbol that triggers the start of the first symbol variation game, and a lose symbol Is determined as the first special symbol. The second symbol determining means determines any one of the first big hit symbol, the second big hit symbol and the lost symbol as the second special symbol. Here, as the first jackpot symbol and the second jackpot symbol, a symbol to which a probability variation state in which the probability that the jackpot is derived in the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game varies with a high probability is given, A symbol, a probability variation state, and a variation time shortened state to which a variation time shortening state for shortening a variation time of the first special symbol in the symbol variation game or a variation time of the second special symbol in the second symbol variation game is given. And a symbol that is in a normal gaming state in which neither a probability variation state nor a variation time reduction state is imparted.

When the second symbol variation game is started after the first big hit game state is ended, or when the first symbol variation game is started after the second big hit game state is ended, the player is notified of that. It is good to inform. More specifically, the game control means notifies the start of the second symbol variation game when the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determination means is the jackpot symbol. A notification effect for executing a second notification effect for notifying the start of the first symbol variation game when the second special symbol determined by the second symbol determination means is the jackpot symbol. Execution means may be provided. In this way, since the player can understand which symbol variation game should be performed, the interest of the game is further improved. As the first notification effect and the second notification effect, for example, an effect of notifying the start of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game by light emission (lighting / flashing etc.) of a light emitting means such as a lamp, An effect of notifying the start of the symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game by sound (sound effect etc.) from sound output means such as a speaker, symbol display device or the like starting the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game There are effects that are displayed on the display means (characters, symbols, pictures, etc.), effects that notify the start of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game by the action of the movable body, and the like.
The invention according to claim 2 is the jackpot symbol according to claim 1, wherein when the result of the first symbol variation game is a jackpot, the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determining means is the jackpot symbol, after the first jackpot gaming state is the second probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation jackpot with a Rutoki, wherein is shifted to the second probability change state, transition to the second probability change state, the second If the result of the symbol variation game becomes big hit, the said it determined by the second symbol determining means second special pattern becomes the big hit symbol, the second jackpot gaming state the second probability variation jackpot with a Rutoki to, as it is continued the second probability change state, after the transition to the second probability change state, when the second symbol variation game result is big hit, before determined by the second symbol determining means The second special symbol is said big hit symbol, the second jackpot gaming state the first probability variation big hit with a Rutoki, as its gist that shifting to the first probability change state.
Note that when the first special symbol, which is determined by the first symbol determining means is the big hit symbol, after the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the probability that the jackpot is derived in the first symbol variation games Probability variation state imparting means for imparting a probability variation state that fluctuates with a high probability, wherein the jackpot symbol is provided with the probability variation state and the probability variation state with no second probability variation state, and the probability variation state is When the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determining means is the jackpot symbol, which is not given and the second probability variation state is not given. moves to the second probability change state, when the first special symbol, which is determined by the first symbol determining means is the probability variation pattern is in the probability change state providing means The Grant probability change state Te, applying the if the has been the first special symbol decision is the non-probability variation pattern by the first symbol determining means, the normal gaming state without applying the probability change state May be .
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect , the first winning signal output means for outputting a first winning signal when the game ball has won the first start winning device, and the second winning signal output means. A second winning signal output means for outputting a second winning signal in response to a game ball winning in the starting winning device, wherein the gaming control means is the input winning signal being the first winning signal; A winning signal determining unit that determines whether the signal is the second winning signal is provided, and performs control to execute the first symbol variation game when the input winning signal is determined to be the first winning signal. In addition, the gist of performing control to execute the second symbol variation game independently of the first symbol variation game when it is determined that the input prize signal is the second prize signal. To do.

The game control means is a game effect in the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game based on the determination results by the first big hit determination means, the second big hit determination means and the small hit determination means. And a variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern for specifying the content of the first game, and when the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the first big hit symbol, the first big hit game state is ended. Later, the second symbol variation game to which a probability variation state in which the probability that a big hit is derived fluctuates with high probability is given is started, and the small symbol determination means in the second symbol variation game in the probability variation state The variation time of the game effect specified by the variation pattern for the small hit effect determined when the determination result is the small hit is more than the probability variation state. It is preferably set shorter than the variation time of the game effects identified by variation pattern for the loss effect, which is determined during normal gaming state in which the probability state.

In this way, when the determination result by the small hit determination means in the second symbol variation game is a small hit, the small hit effect is immediately ended. As a result, the number of times that the result of the second symbol variation game becomes a small hit and the big winning device is in the second open state within a predetermined time increases, so that it becomes easier to acquire more prize balls.

In addition, the first start winning device includes a normal electric accessory consisting of an open / close piece that can be switched between a closed state that does not accept a hit ball and an open state that easily accepts a hit ball, and the first big hit symbol is the first winning symbol In the symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game, the probability variation state is given, and in the second symbol variation game, a small hit frequently occurs. The second big hit symbol is the second symbol variation game. In which the probability variation state is given in the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game, and the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game. In which the probability variation state is not given, and the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determining means is the probability variable symbol. In the first symbol variation game started after the end of the first big hit game state, the probability variation state is given by the probability variation state giving means, and the opening / closing piece is moved to the open state. When the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determining means is the non-probability variable symbol in the first symbol variation game started after the end of the first big hit gaming state, with conferring normal game state not the probability change state, it is preferable to switch to the open state of the opening and closing piece.

In this way, the gaming state after the first jackpot gaming state is the normal gaming state given when the result of the previous first symbol variation game is a big hit with an uncertain variation symbol, the previous first symbol variation. The probability fluctuation state given when the game result is a big hit with a probable symbol, and the small hits given when the result of the previous first symbol fluctuation game is a big hit with the first big symbol It becomes one of the states to do. As a result, there are a large number of gaming states with different profits, so that the player can continue to have a greater expectation for the gaming state after the first big hit gaming state, and the interest of the game will be even more interesting improves.

Even if the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit, if the first symbol big hit symbol is a big hit, the second symbol variation game is started again, so the second symbol variation game may continue. Get higher. In addition, if the probability that the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit is set higher than the probability that the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit in the second big hit symbol. Since the probability of ending is reduced, the possibility that the second symbol variation game will continue is further increased. Thus, the results of the second symbol variation games, first jackpot bonus prize apparatus become jackpot in symbols and the probability of the first open state Koatari is frequent, the special winning device turned Koatari first 2 Since the probability of being in an open state increases, for example, when the second symbol variation game is repeated in the order of small hit → big hit → small hit, the number of prize balls can be increased vigorously.

In addition, the probability that the probability variation state is given when the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit, and the probability that the probability variation state is given when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit. Are set to be the same, and the first symbol variation game in the first symbol variation game that is started after the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the non-probability variation symbol, in the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state A first probability variation jackpot to which the first symbol variation game is started and the probability variation state is given after the predetermined number of round representations are executed, and The second symbol variation game is started after the predetermined number of round effects are executed, and the probability variation state is given. In the first symbol variation game in the probability variation state, which is started after at least the first probability variation jackpot is awarded and the result of the first symbol variation game is a jackpot in the probability variation symbol, When the first special symbol determined by the symbol determining means is the probability variation symbol, only the second probability variation jackpot is a jackpot for executing the predetermined number of round effects in the first jackpot gaming state. In the first symbol variation game in the probability variation state that is given and started after the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the probability variation symbol, the symbol determined by the first symbol determination means When the first special symbol is the non-probable variable symbol, more round effects are executed than the predetermined number of times in the first big hit gaming state. On the other hand, the second symbol variation game in the probability variation state which is started after the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not given is awarded and the result of the first symbol variation game becomes a big hit in the first jackpot symbol. In the second big hit game state, it is preferable that only a big hit is given in which more round effects are executed than the predetermined number of times.

In this way, when the first special symbol determined in the first symbol variation game in the probability variation state is the probability variation symbol, the second symbol variation game is started and the probability variation state is given. Only the second probability variation jackpot is awarded as a jackpot for executing a predetermined number of round effects. That is, when the first special symbol determined in the first symbol variation game in the probability variation state is a probability variation symbol, the first probability variation jackpot having substantially no profit because it is already in the probability variation state. Is not granted. In addition, in the second symbol variation game in the probability variation state, not only a jackpot for executing a predetermined number of round effects is provided, but only a jackpot for performing more round effects than the predetermined number of times is provided. It has become. From the above, when the result of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game is a big hit, a gaming state having a profit larger than the current gaming state is given, so there are few prize balls. Even if there is, the dissatisfaction can be reduced.

Further, in most cases, the small hit determination means determines that the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit, and the game control means determines that the determination result by the small hit determination means is lost. It is preferable to include reach determination means for performing reach determination as to whether or not to execute losing reach, and that the reach determining means determines to execute losing reach in all cases.

In this way, when the small hit determination is performed by the small hit determination means, in most cases, the result of the second symbol variation game in the probability variation state becomes a small hit, so the prize ball is increased by the small hit. Can do. As a result, there is a high probability that the result of the second symbol variation game will be a small hit and the big winning device will be in the second open state. Therefore, when the second symbol variation game is repeated, the number of prize balls is increased vigorously. Can do. Note that if the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the second symbol variation game that can be expected to increase the prize ball at the small hit may end, so the player will end the result of the second symbol variation game. Wants to be a big hit. Further, when the determination result by the small hit determination means is lost, in all cases, an effect of losing (losing reach) with reach is performed. As a result, in the second symbol variation game, it becomes possible to perform an effect with reach while increasing the number of prize balls, so that the player always pays attention to the second symbol variation game, Interest is further improved.

The small hit determination means determines whether or not the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit when the result of the determination by the first big hit determination means is lost, the game control means When the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit or a probability variation big hit to which the probability variation state is given after a predetermined number of round effects are executed, the probability variation state is concealed for a predetermined period. It is preferable to provide a concealment effect executing means for executing the concealment effect.

In this way, since the concealment effect is executed to conceal the probability variation state, it is possible to enhance the expectation for the gaming state after the concealment effect.

  As the concealment effect, an effect of concealing the probability variation state by displaying a door, a wall or the like so as to cover the display screen on the first special symbol display unit, or display by the first special symbol display unit is not performed. By doing so, the effect etc. which conceal a probability fluctuation state are mentioned. In addition, the other concealment effect includes an effect of concealing the probability variation state by covering the first special symbol display unit with an accessory such as a door or a wall.

As described in detail above, according to the first to third aspects of the invention, the expectation of the small hit gaming state can be maintained by making it impossible to assume the number of winning balls that can be obtained, and consequently the game A gaming machine capable of improving interest can be provided.

  Here, the “second special symbol reserved ball number” is a predetermined number of game balls A1 that won the second start winning device 22 during the fluctuation of the second special symbol B2 (the second effect symbol E2). Is a value stored in the range of the maximum value (4 in the present embodiment). The second special symbol reserved ball number is “+1” when the game ball A1 wins the second start winning device 22, and is “−1” when the second variation game is started.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a normal symbol display device 53 having a visible display unit is disposed on the lower right side of the center accessory 60. In the normal symbol display device 53, a normal symbol variation game for changing the normal symbol G1 is executed in response to the passing of the game ball A1 to the gate 25 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). As a result, the normal symbol G1 indicating the result of the random number lottery is stopped and displayed. In addition, the normal symbol G1 of the present embodiment is of two types: a winning symbol “◯” or a lost symbol “X”. When the winning symbol is derived (when the normal symbol variation game is won), the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL is driven for a predetermined time, and the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c are opened. .

  As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, a normal symbol holding display device F is disposed below the normal symbol display device 53. The normal symbol hold display device F is constituted by a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp F1, a second hold lamp F2, a third hold lamp F3, and a fourth hold lamp F4.

Each of the holding lamps F1 to F4 is for indicating the number of normal symbol holding balls (the number of normal symbol holding balls). For example, when there are two normal symbol holding balls, two holding lamps F1 and F2 are lit.

  Here, the “ordinary symbol holding ball number” is a value stored in a range of a predetermined maximum value (4 in the present embodiment), the number of game balls A1 that have passed through the gate 25. The number of normal symbol reserved balls is “+1” when the game ball A1 passes through the gate 25, and is “−1” when the normal symbol variation game is started.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the area on the right side of the center accessory 60 is a flow delay area 80 that delays the flow of the game ball A1. A plurality of obstacle nails 83 that lower the momentum of the game ball A1 due to a collision are projected from the flow-down delay region 80. These obstacle nails 83 are the same nails as the game nails 81. In the flow-down delay area 80, a plurality of obstacle nail groups 84 including three or four obstacle nails 83 arranged along the width direction of the game board 13 are arranged in a plurality of rows in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the second row from the top of the nail group 84 is the upper row of nail groups 84a, and the third row from the top is the nail group 84b as the bottom row of nail groups 84b. Yes. Each failure nail 83 constitutes a pair of failure nails 83a constituting the upper row of failure nail groups 84a and a failure nail group 84b of the lower row, and between the pair of failure nails 83a than the failure nail group 84a. A single obstacle nail 83b disposed below forms an inverted triangular shape. That is, the obstacle nail 83b is located on the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the pair of obstacle nails 83a.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the distance between adjacent obstacle nails 83 in each obstacle nail group 84 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball A1, and in this embodiment, the diameter of the game ball A1 ( 11 mm) is set to about 1.2 times. Similarly, the distance between the obstacle nail 83a constituting the upper row of obstacle nail group 84a and the obstacle nail 83b constituting the lower row of obstacle nail group 84b is also set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball A1. In the form, it is set to about 1.2 times the diameter of the game ball A1.

Therefore, when the game ball A1 flowing down the game board surface 13a reaches the flow delay area 80, the game ball A1 falls from the left or right side of the obstacle nail 83c constituting the uppermost obstacle nail group 84c, It collides with the obstacle nail 83a which comprises the obstacle nail group 84a, and decelerates. Thereby, the direction of the game ball A1 is changed, and the game ball A1 falls from the left side or the right side of the obstacle nail 83a. Then, the game ball A1 collides with the obstacle nail 83b constituting the obstacle nail group 84b in the lower row and decelerates (see FIG. 3). Also in this case, the direction of the game ball A1 is changed, and the game ball A1 falls from the left side or the right side of the obstacle nail 83b. Thereafter, every time the game ball A1 passes through the obstacle nail group 84, the game ball A1 collides with the obstacle nail 83 and decelerates, so that the flow of the game ball A1 is delayed.

Then, the main CPU 31a sets the updated value in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c and rewrites the value before the update. Various flags that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10 are stored (set) in the flag storage area of the main RAM 31c. In the timer storage area of the main RAM 31c, various timers that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10 are stored (set).

  The hit determination random number is used when determining whether or not the first variable game is a big hit (when determining the first big hit) and when determining whether or not the second variable game is a big hit (when determining the second big hit) ) Is a random number used. Further, the random number for hit determination is used when determining whether or not the first variable game is a small hit when the result of the first variable game is lost (at the time of the first small hit determination), and for the second variable game This is a random number used when determining whether or not the second variable game is a small hit when the result is lost (when determining the second small hit). The first jackpot symbol random number is a random number used when the first special symbol B1 is determined when the result of the first variable game is a jackpot, and the second jackpot symbol random number is that of the second variable game. This is a random number used when determining the second special symbol B2 when the result is a big hit. The reach determination random number is used when deciding whether or not to execute the reach effect when the result of the first variation game is lost (during the first reach determination), and when the result of the second variation game is lost.

  The first jackpot determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “first jackpot determination means”. That is, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the result of the first symbol variation game (the first variation game) is a big hit when it is determined that the input winning signal is the first winning signal. It has become. More specifically, the main CPU 31a compares the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c with the first big hit determination value stored in the main ROM 31b immediately before the start of the first variation game. Then, the first big hit determination (win lottery) for determining whether or not the first variable game is successful is performed. In this embodiment, numerical values that can be taken as random numbers for hit determination are set to 0 to 1398 (1399 kinds of integers in total). Then, the main CPU 31a uses the four first jackpot determination values from among the numerical values that the hit determination random number can take, and sets the jackpot lottery probability to 4/1399 (= 349.75 / 1) as the first. Make a big hit judgment.

  The second jackpot determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “second jackpot determination means”. That is, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the result of the second symbol variation game (the second variation game) is a big hit when it is determined that the input winning signal is the second winning signal. It is supposed to be. Specifically, the main CPU 31a compares the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c with the second big hit determination value stored in the main ROM 31b immediately before the start of the second variable game. Then, the second big hit determination (win lottery) for determining whether or not the second variable game is successful is performed. Then, the main CPU 31a uses the second second big hit determination values from among the numerical values that can be taken as the random numbers for the hit determination, and sets the big win lottery probability to 4/1399 (= 349.75 / 1) as the second. Make a big hit judgment. That is, the main CPU 31a performs the big hit determination with the same lottery probability regardless of whether the game is the first variation game or the second variation game.

  The small hit determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “small hit determination means”. That is, when the determination result of the first big hit determination is lost (when the random number for hit determination and the first big hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 31a displays the result of the first symbol variation game. It is determined whether or not it is a small hit. More specifically, the main CPU 31a compares the value of the hit determination random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c with the first small hit determination value stored in the main ROM 31b to determine whether or not the small hit is correct. The first small hit determination is performed. Then, the main CPU 31a performs the first small hit determination by using one first small hit determination value from among the numerical values that can be taken as the random numbers for the hit determination and setting the lottery probability per small hit to 1/399.

  4 and 5, when the determination result of the second big hit determination is lost (when the value of the random number for hit determination and the second big hit determination value do not match), It is determined whether or not the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit. More specifically, the main CPU 31a compares the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c with the second small hit determination value stored in the main ROM 31b to determine whether or not the hit is small. The second small hit determination is performed. Then, the main CPU 31a uses the 1370 second small hit determination values among the numerical values that can be taken as the random numbers for hit determination, and sets the lottery probability for the small hits to 1370/1399 (= 1 / 1.02). The second small hit determination is performed. That is, in most cases, the main CPU 31a determines that the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit. That is, the main CPU 31a makes a small hit determination with different lottery probabilities for the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game. In addition, the probability that the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit is the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit (1/399), and the result of the second symbol variation game is not a small hit. The probability (29/1399) and the probability that the results of the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game are big hits (4/1399) are set higher. In other words, the first big hit symbol that triggers the start of the second symbol variation game is a symbol in which small hits frequently occur in the second symbol variation game. Further, since the second big hit symbol is a symbol that triggers the start of the first symbol variation game, it is a symbol that does not frequently have a small hit in the second symbol variation game.

  The reach determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “reach determination means”. That is, the main CPU 31a compares the reach determination random number value read from the main RAM 31c with the first reach determination value stored in the main ROM 31b when the determination result of the first small hit determination is lost. Then, the first reach determination is made as to whether or not to execute the lose reach. Similarly, the main CPU 31a compares the reach determination random number read from the main RAM 31c with the second reach determination value stored in the main ROM 31b when the determination result of the second small hit determination is lost. Then, the second reach determination is made as to whether or not to execute the lose reach. In the present embodiment, since the determination results of all the second reach determinations are affirmative (the reach determination random number value matches the second reach determination value), the main CPU 31a executes the lose reach in all cases. Judge that.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the first big hit determination value), the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 determines the big hit. . Similarly, when the determination result of the second big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the second big hit determination value), the main CPU 31a determines the big hit.

  The first symbol determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a to function as “first symbol determination means”. That is, when the determination result by the first jackpot determination is a jackpot, the main CPU 31a displays a stop symbol (the first effect symbol E1) derived from the first symbol combination game on the first effect symbol display unit 71. The first jackpot symbol or the second jackpot symbol which is a related symbol is determined as the first special symbol B1. More specifically, the main CPU 31a indicates a first value indicating any one of “1” to “8” based on the value of the first big hit symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. The special symbol B1 is determined. When the determination result by the first small hit determination is a small hit, the main CPU 31a determines the first special symbol B1 indicating “0” as the small hit symbol. Further, when the determination result of the first small hit determination is lost or lost, the main CPU 31a determines the symbol “−” which is a lost symbol as the first special symbol B1.

  Also, the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 determines whether the first special symbol B1 is the first big hit symbol based on the value of the first big hit symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. Judge whether it is a big hit symbol. Further, when the first special symbol B1 is the second big hit symbol, the main CPU 31a determines that the first special symbol B1 is based on the value of the first big hit symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. It is determined whether the symbol is a probability variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol. In the present embodiment, if the value of the first big hit symbol for design random is “7”, it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is the first big hit symbol, and the value of the first big hit symbol for random number is “1”, If it is either “3” or “5”, it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is a probable variation symbol, and the value of the first big hit symbol random number is “2”, “4”, “6”, “ If it is any of “8”, it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is a non-probable variation symbol.

  The probability variation state provision program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “probability variation state provision means”. That is, when it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is the first big hit symbol, the main CPU 31a determines the first probability in the first symbol variation game started after the end of the first big hit gaming state described later. Fluctuating state is added. Further, the main CPU 31a gives the first probability variation state in the first symbol variation game started after the end of the first big hit gaming state when it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is the probability variation symbol. The pair of opening and closing pieces 21c constituting the first start winning device 21 are switched to the open state. Further, the main CPU 31a determines that the first symbol variation game in the first symbol variation game is started in the first symbol variation game that is started after the end of the first big hit gaming state when it is determined that the first special symbol B1 is the non-probability variation symbol. While providing the variation time shortening state which shortens the variation time of 1 special symbol B1, a pair of opening-and-closing piece 21c is switched to an open state. The variation time shortening state may be continued until the next first big hit game state is started, and the symbol variation display is performed a plurality of times (for example, 100 times). It may be continued until it is done. Thereafter, when the provision of the variation time shortening state ends, the main CPU 31a imparts the normal gaming state and switches the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c to the closed state.

  When the first probability variation state is given in the first symbol variation game, the main CPU 31a uses 19 first big hit judgment values from among the numbers that can be taken as the random numbers for the hit judgment, and wins a big hit. The first jackpot determination is performed with the probability 19/399 (= 73.63 / 1). That is, the number of first jackpot determination values in the first probability variation state is 4.75 times that before the first probability variation state. The first probability variation state may be continued until the next first big hit game state is started, and the symbol variation display may be performed a plurality of times (for example, 10,000 times). It may be continued until it is executed.

  The second symbol determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “second symbol determination means”. That is, when the determination result by the second jackpot determination is a jackpot, the main CPU 31a sets the stop symbol (the second effect symbol E2) derived from the second symbol combination game on the second effect symbol display unit 72. A first jackpot symbol or a second jackpot symbol which is a related symbol is determined as the second special symbol B2. More specifically, the main CPU 31a indicates any one of “1.” to “8.” based on the value of the second jackpot symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. 2 Determine the special symbol B2. When the determination result by the second small hit determination is a small hit, the main CPU 31a determines the second special symbol B2 indicating “0.” which is the small hit symbol. Furthermore, when the determination result by the second big hit determination is a lose reach, the main CPU 31a determines the symbol “-” which is a lose symbol as the second special symbol B2.

  Also, the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 determines whether the second special symbol B2 is the first big hit symbol based on the value of the second big hit symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. Judge whether it is a big hit symbol. Further, when the second special symbol B2 is the second big hit symbol, the main CPU 31a determines that the second special symbol B2 is based on the second big hit symbol random number stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. It is determined whether the symbol is a probability variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol. In the present embodiment, if the value of the second big hit symbol random number is “7”, it is determined that the second special symbol B2 is the first big hit symbol, and the second big hit symbol random number is “1”, If it is either “3” or “5”, it is determined that the second special symbol B2 is a probability variation symbol, and the second big hit symbol random number value is “2”, “4”, “6”, “ If it is any of “8”, it is determined that the second special symbol B2 is a non-probable variable symbol.

  The main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 starts the second symbol which is started after the end of the second big hit gaming state described later when the second special symbol B2 is determined to be the first big hit symbol. In the variation game, the second probability variation state is given. The probability that the second probability variation state is given when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit is the probability that the first probability variation state is given when the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit. It is set to be the same as the probability.

  Then, when the second probability variation state is given in the second symbol variation game, the main CPU 31a uses 19 second big hit judgment values from among the numbers that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit judgment, and draws a big hit The second big hit determination is performed by setting the probability to 19/1399 (= 73.63 / 1). That is, the number of second jackpot determination values in the second probability variation state is 4.75 times that before the second probability variation state. The second probability variation state may be continued until the next second big hit game state) is started, or the symbol variation display may be performed a plurality of times (for example, 10,000 times). May be continued until is executed.

  The variation pattern determination program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “variation pattern determination means”. That is, the main CPU 31a is configured to provide the first probability variation state in the first symbol variation game, the variation time reduction state in the first symbol variation game, and the second symbol variation game. A variation pattern is determined from a variation pattern distribution table that is different when the second probability variation state is given and when the normal game state is given in the second symbol variation game.

  Specifically, the main CPU 31a determines the first big hit determination, the first small hit determination, and the first reach determination when the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is given is started. The variation pattern is determined based on the result. More specifically, when the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is given is started and the big hit is determined in the first big hit determination, the main CPU 31a distributes the first variation pattern distribution from the main RAM 31c. A random number value is read, and based on the value, the big hit effect variation patterns P1a-4, P1a-5, P1a-6 stored in the variation pattern distribution table 1A (see FIG. 6A) are stored. Determine one of them. When the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is given is started and the small hit is determined in the first small hit determination, the main CPU 31a reads the value of the first variation pattern distribution random number read from the main RAM 31c. Based on the above, the variation pattern P1a-3 for the small hit effect is determined from the variation pattern distribution table 1A.

Even when started, the variation pattern is determined based on the determination results of the first big hit determination, the first small hit determination, and the first reach determination. Specifically, when the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is not given is started and the big hit is determined in the first big hit determination, the main CPU 31a distributes the first variation pattern read from the main RAM 31c. Based on the value of the random number, one of the variation patterns P1b-4, P1b-5, and P1b-6 for the big hit effect stored in the variation pattern distribution table 1B (see FIG. 6B) is determined. To do. When the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is not given is started and the small hit is determined in the first small hit determination, the main CPU 31a sets the first variation pattern distribution random number value read from the main RAM 31c. Based on this, the variation pattern P1b-3 for small hits is determined from the variation pattern distribution table 1B. When the first symbol variation game to which the first probability variation state is not given is started and the lose reach is determined in the first reach determination, the main CPU 31a is based on the value of the first variation pattern distribution table read from the main RAM 31c. The variation pattern P1b-2 for losing reach production is determined from the variation pattern distribution table 1B.

That is, the main CPU 31a determines a variation pattern from a variation pattern distribution table that differs between when the first probability variation state is applied and when it is not applied.

  Further, the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 performs the second big hit determination, the second small hit determination, and the second small hit determination when the second symbol change game to which the second probability fluctuation state is given is started. A variation pattern is determined based on the determination result of the second reach determination. Specifically, when the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is given is started and the big hit is determined in the second big hit determination, the main CPU 31a distributes the second variation pattern distribution from the main RAM 31c. A random number value is read out, and based on the value, any one of variation patterns P2a-3, P2a-4, and P2a-5 for jackpot presentation from the first variation pattern distribution table 2A (see FIG. 7A).

When the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is given is started and the small hit is determined in the second small hit determination, the main CPU 31a reads the value of the second variation pattern distribution random number read from the main RAM 31c. Based on the first variation pattern distribution table 2A, the first small hit effect variation pattern P2a-2 is determined. When the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is given is started and the lose reach is determined in the second reach determination, the main CPU 31a sets the second variation pattern distribution random number value read from the main RAM 31c. Based on this, the variation pattern P2a-1 for losing reach production is determined from the first variation pattern distribution table 2A.

  The main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 starts the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is not given, that is, the second symbol variation game to which the normal game state is imparted. Even in such a case, the variation pattern is determined based on the determination results of the second big hit determination, the second small hit determination, and the second reach determination. Specifically, when the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is not given is started and the big hit is determined in the second big hit determination, the main CPU 31a distributes the second variation pattern read from the main RAM 31c. Based on the value of the random number, the variation pattern P2b-3 for the big hit effect is determined from the second variation pattern distribution table 2B (see FIG. 7B). When the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is not given is started and the small hit is determined in the second small hit determination, the main CPU 31a sets the second variation pattern distribution random number value read from the main RAM 31c. Based on the second variation pattern distribution table 2B, the second small hit effect variation pattern P2b-2 is determined. When the second symbol variation game to which the second probability variation state is not given is started and the lose reach is determined in the second reach determination, the main CPU 31a is based on the second variation pattern distribution random number value read from the main RAM 31c. Then, the fluctuation pattern P2b-1 for losing reach production is determined from the second fluctuation pattern distribution table 2B. That is, the main CPU 31a determines a variation pattern from a variation pattern distribution table that differs between when the second probability variation state is applied and when it is not applied.

  Further, the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 controls the first special symbol display unit 51 to display the first special symbol B1, or the second special symbol display unit 52 displays the second special symbol. Control to display B2 is performed. More specifically, when determining the first special symbol B1 and the variation pattern, the main CPU 31a sets (stores) the variation time associated with each variation pattern as a special symbol 1 timer in the timer storage area of the main RAM 31c. The first special symbol display unit 51 is caused to start changing the first special symbol B1. Similarly, when the main CPU 31a determines the second special symbol B2 and the variation pattern, the main CPU 31a sets (stores) the variation time associated with each variation pattern as a special symbol 2 timer in the timer storage area of the main RAM 31c. The special symbol display unit 52 is caused to start changing the second special symbol B2.

  When the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 instructs the overall control CPU 32a of the overall control board 32 to perform control, a control command or the like is used as a control signal (8-bit signal), and the signal is output to the output port. 35 and the output buffer 36 at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main CPU 31a first generates a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation, and sets it as a control command (stored in the main RAM 31c). The control command set here is output in the next command output process (see step MC2 in FIG. 9). Next, the main CPU 31a sets a special symbol designation command for designating the first special symbol B1 or the second special symbol B2 as a control command (stored in the main RAM 31c). The control command set here is output in the next command output process (see step MC2 in FIG. 9). Further, the main CPU 31a subtracts the special symbol 1 timer or the special symbol 2 timer set at the start of fluctuation every interrupt (4 ms). When the special symbol 1 timer reaches 0 ms, the main CPU 31a sets (outputs) the first symbol stop command for instructing the stop of the first special symbol B1 and the first effect symbol E1 as a control command.

  The first jackpot gaming state granting program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a to function as “first jackpot gaming state granting means”. That is, the main CPU 31a determines the first big win gaming state in which the first big winning device 23 enters the first open state, which is the open state for big hits, when the determination result by the first big hit determination is a big hit. It comes to grant. In the first big hit gaming state, one opening effect, a plurality (two or fifteen times in the present embodiment) round effect, and one ending effect are executed. The opening effect is executed when the first big winning device 23 is in the closed state and when the first big hit gaming state is started. Each round effect is executed when the first grand prize winning device 23 is switched from the closed state to the first open state by the exciting action of the first big prize opening solenoid SOL1. The round effect per time is executed after the first grand prize winning device 23 is switched to the first open state and then to the closed state. Further, the ending effect is when the first grand prize winning device 23 is switched from the first open state to the closed state, and when the first big hit gaming state is ended (in the present embodiment, the second or fifteenth time). At the end of the round production).

  When the determination result by the first big hit determination is a big win (that is, when it is determined that the result of the first symbol variation game is a big win), the main CPU 31a determines the number of round effects executed (number of rounds). It is supposed to be set. Specifically, the main CPU 31a compares the round determination random number value stored in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c with the round determination value stored in the main ROM 31b, and determines the round number as " Round determination is performed to determine whether to set “15” or “2”. In the present embodiment, the numerical values that can be taken by the round decision random numbers are set to 0 to 9 (all 10 types of integers). Then, the main CPU 31a uses five round determination values determined in advance from the numerical values that can be taken as the random numbers for round determination, and sets the probability that the number of rounds is “15” to 5/10 (= 1/2). ) Round judgment. When the result of the round determination is affirmative (the number of rounds is “15”), that is, when it is determined that the round effect is to be executed 15 times, the main CPU 31a sets the number of rounds “15” as the special electric accessory continuous. The maximum number of operations 1 is stored in the main RAM 31c. On the other hand, when the result of the round determination is negative (the number of rounds is “2”), that is, when it is determined that the round effect is executed twice, the main CPU 31a sets the number of rounds “2” as the special electric role. It is stored in the main RAM 31c as the maximum continuous operation frequency 1.

  The main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 generates the opening designation command 1 for instructing the start of the opening effect after the first symbol stop command is output, and outputs it as a control command. Next, the main CPU 31a instructs the start of the first to fourteenth round effects when the maximum value 1 of the number of continuous operations of the special electric accessory stored in the main RAM 31c indicates the number of rounds “15”. The round designation command 1 to be output is sequentially output as a control command, and then the final round designation command 1 for instructing the start of the final round (fifteenth round effect) is output as the control command. In addition, the main CPU 31a instructs the start of the first round effect when the maximum number 1 of the special electric accessory continuous operation number stored in the main RAM 31c indicates the number of rounds “2”. After 1 is output as a control command, a final round designation command 1 that instructs the start of the final round (second round effect) is output as a control command. Thereafter, the main CPU 31a outputs an ending designation command 1 for instructing the start of the ending effect as a control command.

  The second jackpot gaming state granting program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “second jackpot gaming state granting means”. That is, the main CPU 31a gives the second big hit game state in which the second big winning device 24 is in the first released state when the determination result by the second big hit determination is a big hit. . In the second big hit gaming state, one opening effect, 15 round effects, and one ending effect are executed. The opening effect is executed when the second big winning device 24 is in the closed state and when the second big winning game state is started. Each round effect is executed when the second grand prize-winning device 24 is switched from the closed state to the first open state by the excitation action of the second big prize-winning solenoid SOL2. The round effect per time is executed after the second grand prize-winning device 24 is switched to the first open state until it is switched to the closed state. In addition, the ending effect is a case where the second grand prize winning device 24 is switched from the first open state to the closed state, and when the second big hit gaming state is ended (in this embodiment, the 15th round effect of the round effect). At the end).

  The main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 generates the opening designation command 2 for instructing the start of the opening effect after the second symbol stop command is output, and outputs it as a control command. Next, the main CPU 31a sequentially outputs the round designation command 2 instructing the start of the first to fourteenth round effects as a control command, and then instructs the start of the final round (the fifteenth round effect). The designated command 2 is output as a control command. Thereafter, the main CPU 31a outputs an ending designation command 2 for instructing the start of the ending effect as a control command.

And “2R probability variation 2”. Here, “15R probability variation 1” means that the first probability variation state or the second probability variation state is given after 15 round effects are executed in the first jackpot gaming state or the second jackpot gaming state. It is a state to be done. “15R probability variation 2” is a state in which the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is started after 15 round effects are executed in the first jackpot gaming state or the second jackpot gaming state. is there. The “15R short time” is a state in which, in the first big hit game state or the second big hit game state, after the 15 round effects are executed, the variation time reduction state is given. “2R probability variation 1” means that the first symbol after the two round effects are executed in the first big hit gaming state given when the result of the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is a big hit. This is a state in which the first probability variation big hit is given when the variation game is started and the first probability variation state is given. “2R probability variation 2” means that in the first big hit gaming state, the second symbol variation game is started and the second probability variation state is given after the second symbol variation game is started. It is a state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the first big hit gaming state given when the result of the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is a big hit is “15R probability variation 1”, “15R probability variation 2”, “ It becomes one of “2R probability variation 1”, “2R probability variation 2”, and “15R time reduction”. At this time, the probability that “15R probability variation 1” is selected is 30%, the probability that “15R probability variation 2” is selected is 20%, and the probability that “2R probability variation 1” is selected is 3%. The probability that “2R probability variation 2” is selected is 2%, and the probability that “15R time reduction” is selected is 45%. That is, in the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state that is started after the result of the first symbol variation game becomes a big hit with the uncertain variation symbol, two round effects are executed in the first big hit gaming state. As the big hit, the first probability fluctuation big hit ("2R probability variation 1") or the second probability fluctuation big hit ("2R probability variation 2") is given.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the first big hit game state given when the result of the first symbol change game in the first probability fluctuation state or the fluctuation time shortening state is a big hit is “15R probability change”. 1 ”,“ 15R probability variation 2 ”,“ 2R probability variation 2 ”, and“ 15R time reduction ”. At this time, the probability that “15R probability variation 1” is selected is 30%, the probability that “15R probability variation 2” is selected is 20%, and the probability that “2R probability variation 2” is selected is 5%. The probability of selecting “15R short time” is 45%. That is, in the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state that is started after the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the probability variation symbol, when the first special symbol B1 is a probability variation symbol In the first big hit game state, only the second probability fluctuation big hit (“2R probability change 2”) is given as a big hit in which two round effects are executed. On the other hand, when the first special symbol B1 is a non-probable variation symbol in the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state which is started after the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the probability variation symbol. In the first big hit game state, more than 15 round effects are executed, while the big hit (“15R short time”) to which the first probability variation state is not given is given.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is a big hit, the second big hit gaming state given is “15R probability variation 1”, “15R probability variation 2”. ”And“ 15R time reduction ”. At this time, the probability that “15R probability variation 1” is selected is 5%, the probability that “15R probability variation 2” is selected is 50%, and the probability that “15R time variation” is selected is 45%. That is, in the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state that is started after the result of the first symbol variation game becomes a big hit with the first jackpot symbol, the number of games in the second jackpot game state is more than twice 15. Only the big hit that the round production of the times is executed is given.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the probability of becoming the first big hit gaming state in which the two round effects are executed in the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state, and the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state. The probability of becoming the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed is the same. Specifically, the first big hit gaming state in which the two round effects are executed in the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is “2R probability variation 1” and “2R probability variation 2”. As described above, the probability that “2R probability variation 1” is selected is 3%, and the probability that “2R probability variation 2” is selected is 2%. The probability that the first big hit gaming state in which the round effect is executed is 5% (= 3% + 2%). On the other hand, the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed in the first symbol variation game in the probability variation state is “2R probability variation 2”. As described above, since the probability that “2R probability variation 2” is selected is 5%, the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed in the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state. Is equal to the probability of becoming the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed in the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit when the normal game state is given, the second probability fluctuation state and the fluctuation time shortening state are not given after the second big hit game state is finished. It has become. Specifically, if the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit when the normal game state is given, it is not “15R probability variation 1”, “15R probability variation 2”, or “15R time variation”, but the second probability variation A second big hit gaming state to which a state and a variation time shortening state are not given is given. In addition, when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit when the normal game state is given, the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c constituting the first start winning device 21 is opened after the second big hit game state is finished. Do not switch to.

  The main CPU 31a shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 uses the first big prize opening door 23a of the first big prize winning device 23 for small hits when the determination result by the first small hit judgment is a small hit. A first small hit gaming state that is a second open state that is an open state is provided. In addition, the production contents of the first small hit gaming state are the probability variation big hits ("2R probability variation 1" and "2R probability variation 2") to which the first probability variation state is given after the two round effects are executed. It is the same as the production contents. Specifically, in the first small hit game state, one small hitting opening effect, two small hitting round effects, and one small hitting ending effect are executed. The small hitting opening effect is executed when the first small hitting gaming state is started. The first small hitting round effect is executed after the end of the small hitting opening effect, and the second small hitting round effect is executed after the end of the first small hitting round effect. . The small hitting ending effect is executed when the first small hitting game state is ended (in the present embodiment, at the end of the second small hitting round effect). Therefore, when the first small hit game state is executed, the player cannot determine whether the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit or a probability variation big hit.

  In addition, as described above, in the first small winning game state, the first big prize opening door 23a is switched from the closed state to the second open state to the closed state by the exciting action of the first big prize opening solenoid SOL1 ( The small round for small hits) is executed twice. That is, the movement of the first grand prize winning door 23a in the first small hit gaming state is a probability variation big hit ("2R probability variation 1" and "2R probability variation 1" and the first probability variation state is given after the two round effects are executed. This is the same as the movement of the first grand prize opening door 23a in “2R probability variation 2”). For this reason, when the first big prize opening door 23a is opened and closed twice, the player cannot determine whether the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit or a probability variation big hit.

  From the above, the main CPU 31a shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 executes a concealment effect that conceals the first probability variation state for a predetermined period when the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit or a probability variation big hit. It can be said that That is, the main CPU 31a has a function as “secret display effect execution means”.

The small hit game state giving program is a program for causing the main CPU 31a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to function as “small hit game state giving means”. That is, when the determination result by the second small hit determination is a small hit, the main CPU 31a sets the second small open state so that the pair of opening / closing pieces 24b constituting the second big winning device 24 is in the second open state. A winning game state is given. In the second small hit game state, an effect that the pair of open / close pieces 24b are switched from the closed state to the second open state to the closed state by the exciting action of the second big prize opening solenoid SOL2 is executed once. It has become. Further, in the second small hit gaming state, an effect that the character cuts off the enemy is displayed on the symbol display device 61.
(2-2) Electrical configuration of overall control board 32

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the overall control board 32 includes an overall control CPU 32 a as “game control means”. The general control CPU 32a is electrically connected to an input buffer 37 for inputting a control signal and a read signal output from the main CPU 31a. Further, an input port 38 is electrically connected to the input buffer 37, and a control signal and a read signal are input to the overall control CPU 32a via the input port 38.

  Further, a general ROM 32b and a general RAM 32c are connected to the general control CPU 32a. The overall control CPU 32a updates the values of various random numbers used for determining the game effect at predetermined intervals. Then, the overall control CPU 32a rewrites the value before update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the overall RAM 32c. For example, the random number storage area of the overall RAM 32c stores a random number for lost left symbol, a random number for lost symbol, a random number for lost right symbol, and the like. Various flags that are appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko machine 10 are stored (set) in the flag storage area of the overall RAM 32c. Various timers that are appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko machine 10 are stored (set) in the timer storage area of the overall RAM 32c.

  When the change pattern designation command is input, the overall control CPU 32a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 stores the change pattern specified by the change pattern designation command in the overall RAM 32c. When the special symbol designation command is input, the overall control CPU 32a stores the first special symbol B1 or the second special symbol B2 designated by the special symbol designation command in the overall RAM 32c.

  Furthermore, the overall control CPU 32a stops and displays the first effect symbol on the first effect symbol display unit 71 at the end of the first symbol combination game based on the first special symbol B1 stored in the overall RAM 32c. E1 is generated. For example, when the first special symbol B1 stored in the overall RAM 32c is any one of “1” to “8”, the variation pattern stored in the overall RAM 32c is the variation pattern P1a-4 to P1a for the big hit effect. −6, P1b-4 to P1b-6. In this case, the overall control CPU 32a generates the first effect symbol E1 (the effect symbol left, middle, and right) that is finally stopped by the first effect symbol display unit 71 so that all the columns have the same type of symbol. . More specifically, the overall control CPU 32a generates the effect symbol left, the effect symbol in the effect symbol, and the effect symbol right (the effect symbols are of the same type) based on the first special symbol B1. For example, if the first special symbol B1 is “1”, the first effect symbol E1 is “1”, and if the first special symbol B1 is “2”, the first effect symbol E1 is “2”. The generated first effect symbol E1 (effect symbol left, middle, right) is derived to the first effect symbol display unit 71 as a final symbol combination. The overall control CPU 32a stores data corresponding to the generated effect symbol left, the effect symbol, and the effect symbol right in the overall RAM 32c.

  4 and 5, the overall control CPU 32a displays the second effect symbol display section 72 at the end of the second symbol combination game based on the second special symbol B2 stored in the overall RAM 32c. The second effect symbol E2 to be stopped and displayed is generated. For example, when the second special symbol B2 stored in the overall RAM 32c is any one of “1.” to “8.”, the variation pattern stored in the overall RAM 32c is the variation pattern P2a-3 for jackpot effect. ~ P2a-5 or P2b-3. In this case, the overall control CPU 32a generates the second effect symbol E2 (the effect symbol left, middle, and right) that is finally stopped by the second effect symbol display unit 72 so that all the columns are of the same type. . More specifically, the overall control CPU 32a generates an effect symbol left, an effect symbol, and an effect symbol right (each effect symbol is the same type) based on the second special symbol B2. For example, if the second special symbol B2 is “1.”, the second effect symbol E2 is “1”, and if the second special symbol B2 is “2.”, the second effect symbol E2 is “2”. . The generated second effect symbol E2 (effect symbol left, middle, right) is derived to the second effect symbol display unit 72 as a final symbol combination. The overall control CPU 32a stores data corresponding to the generated effect symbol left, the effect symbol, and the effect symbol right in the overall RAM 32c.

  The first special symbol B1 or the second special symbol B2 stored in the overall RAM 32c is “−”, and the variation pattern stored in the overall RAM 32c is the variation pattern P1a-2, P1b-2 for lost reach production. , P2a-1, and P2b-1, the overall control CPU 32a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 determines the loss reach. In this case, the overall control CPU 32a determines the effect symbols left, middle, and right so that the left column and the right column are the same type of symbols, and the middle column is a different type of symbols from the left and right columns. Specifically, the effect symbol left and the effect symbol right (both effect symbols are the same type) are generated based on the value of the random number for the lost left symbol. Then, based on the value of the random symbol for the losing symbol, the effect symbol is generated. If the value of the random symbol for losing and the value of the random number for the left of the losing symbol (or the value of the random number for losing the right symbol) match, the overall control CPU 32a determines that the symbol in the effect symbol and the effect symbol left (or effect symbol) The production pattern is generated so that (right) does not match. The overall control CPU 32a stores data corresponding to the generated effect symbol left, the effect symbol, and the effect symbol right in the overall RAM 32c. In the present embodiment, the numbers that can be taken by random numbers for the left symbol for lost, the random number for right for lost, and the random number for lost symbol are 10 integers from 0 to 9, and one numerical value corresponds to each type of symbol. It is attached.

  The first special symbol B1 or the second special symbol B2 stored in the overall RAM 32c is “−”, and the variation pattern stored in the overall RAM 32c is the variation pattern P1a-1 or P1b-1 for losing effect. In some cases, the overall control CPU 32a shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 determines a loss. In this case, the overall control CPU 32a generates effect symbols left, middle, and right so that all columns do not become the same type of symbols. Specifically, the production symbol left is generated based on the value of the random symbol for the loss left symbol, the production symbol is generated based on the value of the random number for the middle symbol of the loss, and the production is produced based on the value of the random number for the loss right symbol. Generate the symbol right. If the value of the lost symbol random number and the value of the lost right symbol random match, the overall control CPU 32a generates the effect symbol right so that the effect symbol left does not match the effect symbol right. The overall control CPU 32a stores data corresponding to the generated effect symbol left, the effect symbol, and the effect symbol right in the overall RAM 32c.

  Furthermore, the voice / lamp ROM has one kind of opening effect effect data used in the first jackpot gaming state after the first symbol combination game or the second jackpot gaming state after the second symbol combination game, Fifteen types of effect data for round effects and one type of effect data for ending effects are stored. The effect data for opening effects is stored in association with the opening effect. Each round effect data is stored in association with the first to fifteenth round effects. Ending effect data is stored in association with the ending effect. The effect data for opening effect, the effect data for round effect, and the effect data for ending effect are information for the voice / lamp control CPU 34a to instruct the lamps 18 and the speaker 17 to execute the opening effect, the round effect, and the ending effect. It is.

  4 and 5, when the fluctuation pattern designation command is input from the overall control CPU 32a, the voice / lamp control CPU 34a displays the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command as the voice / lamp RAM. To come to remember.

  Thereafter, when the first symbol stop command or the second symbol stop command is input from the overall control CPU 32a, the voice / lamp control CPU 34a instructs the lamps 18 to stop the light emission, and the speaker 17 outputs the voice. The stop is instructed.

  When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a sets (generates) any one of the plurality of types of light emission effect data stored in the sound / lamp ROM, The set light effect data is stored in the storage area of the sound / lamp RAM. Thereby, the voice / lamp control CPU 34a performs the light emission control based on the light emission effect data corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. More specifically, the sound / lamp control CPU 34 a converts the light emission effect data stored in the sound / lamp RAM into a light emission control signal and outputs it to the lamps 18. As a result, the lamps 18 can perform a predetermined light emission operation (lighting, blinking, etc.) based on the light emission control signal.

  When a change pattern designation command is input, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a shown in FIG. 4 sets (generates) one of the plurality of types of sound effect data stored in the sound / lamp ROM. The set sound production data is stored in the storage area of the sound / lamp RAM. Thereby, the voice / lamp control CPU 34a performs voice control based on the voice effect data corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. More specifically, the sound / lamp control CPU 34 a converts sound effect data stored in the sound / lamp RAM into a sound signal and outputs the sound signal to the speaker 17. As a result, the speaker 17 can perform a predetermined output operation (sound output) based on the audio signal.

  Further, when the opening designation command 1 or the opening designation command 2 is input, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a shown in FIG. 4 sets (generates) opening effect effect data stored in the sound / lamp ROM. Thus, the set effect data for the opening effect is stored in the storage area of the voice / lamp RAM. Accordingly, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a performs light emission control and sound control based on the opening designation command 1 or the opening designation command 2 and the effect data for opening effect. When one of the round designation commands 1 and 2 and the final round designation commands 1 and 2 is input, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a sets (generates) effect data for round effect stored in the sound / lamp ROM. Then, the set effect data for round effect is stored in the storage area of the voice / lamp RAM. As a result, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a performs light emission control and sound control based on one of the round designation commands 1 and 2 and the final round designation commands 1 and 2, and the effect data for round effect. When the ending designation command 1 or the ending designation command 2 is input, the voice / lamp control CPU 34a sets (generates) the ending presentation effect data stored in the voice / lamp ROM, and sets the ending presentation effect data. The effect data is stored in the storage area of the voice / lamp RAM. Accordingly, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a performs light emission control and sound control based on the ending designation command 1 or the ending designation command 2 and the ending effect effect data. More specifically, the sound / lamp control CPU 34a converts the effect data for opening effects, the effect data for round effects, and the effect data for ending effects stored in the sound / lamp RAM into light emission control signals and sound signals. 18 and the speaker 17. As a result, the lamps 18 and the speaker 17 can perform predetermined light emission and audio output based on the light emission control signal and the audio signal.

  Next, processing (timer interrupt processing) performed by the main CPU 31a of the main control board 31 will be described. A program for performing this process is repeatedly executed at predetermined interrupt intervals (every 4 ms) in the main CPU 31a after the pachinko machine 10 is started.

  In step MC1 shown in FIG. 9, the main CPU 31a executes an output process for outputting a control signal to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL, the first big prize opening solenoid SOL1, the second big prize opening solenoid SOL2, etc., and step MC2 Move on to processing. In step MC2, the main CPU 31a executes a command output process for outputting a control command to the overall control CPU 32a, and proceeds to the process of step MC3.

  In the process of step MC3 (input process), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine of FIG. 10 consists of the processing of steps MD1 to MD4. In step MD1, the main CPU 31a executes port input processing for confirming input of signals from the switches SE1 to SE5, and proceeds to processing in step MD2.

  In the process of step MD2 (special symbol input process), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine of FIG. 11 includes the processes of steps S1 to S8. In step S1, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the game ball A1 has won the first start winning device 21 (that is, whether or not a first win signal has been input from the first start port switch SE1). When the game ball A1 has not won the first start winning device 21 (step S1: N), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S5 without performing the processes of steps S2 to S4. On the other hand, when the game ball A1 wins the first start winning device 21 (step S1: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S2.

  In step S2, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the number of first special symbol reservation balls stored in the main RAM 31c is less than four. When the number of first special symbol reservation balls is “4” (step S2: N), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S5 without performing the processes of steps S3 and S4. On the other hand, when the number of first special symbol reserved balls is less than 4 (step S2: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S3.

  In step S3, the main CPU 31a adds 1 to the number of first special symbol reserved balls stored in the main RAM 31c, and proceeds to the process of step S4. In step S4, the main CPU 31a acquires the hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number and stores them in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. Then, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S5.

  In step S5, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the game ball A1 has won the second start winning device 22 (that is, whether or not a second win signal has been input from the second start port switch SE2). When the game ball A1 has not won the second start winning device 22 (step S5: N), the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine without performing the processing of steps S6 to S8. On the other hand, when the game ball A1 wins the second start winning device 22 (step S5: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S6.

  In step S6, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the number of second special symbol reservation balls stored in the main RAM 31c is less than four. When the number of second special symbol reserved balls is “4” (step S6: N), the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine without performing the processes of steps S7 and S8. On the other hand, if the number of second special symbol reserved balls is less than 4 (step S6: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S7.

  In step S7, the main CPU 31a adds 1 to the number of second special symbol reserved balls stored in the main RAM 31c, and proceeds to the process of step S8. In step S8, the main CPU 31a acquires the hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number, and stores them in the random number storage area of the main RAM 31c. Then, the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine.

  When the subroutine shown in FIG. 11 ends, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step MD3 shown in FIG. In the process of step MD3 (special electric accessory input process 1), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine of FIG. 12 includes the processes of steps S10 to S19. In step S10, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the game ball A1 has won the first big winning device 23 (whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first count switch SE3). When the game ball A1 has not won the first grand prize winning device 23 (step S10: N), the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine without performing the processes of steps S11 to S19. On the other hand, when the game ball A1 wins the first grand prize winning device 23 (step S10: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S11. In step S11, the main CPU 31a reads the system flag 1 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the system flag 1. The system flag 1 is a flag indicating whether or not the first big hit gaming state or the first small hit gaming state is being executed. When the first big hit gaming state is set, “01H” is set as the system flag 1 (stored in the main RAM 31c). When the first big hit gaming state is set, the system flag 1 is set to “02H”. "(Stored in the main RAM 31c)" is set, and when neither the first big hit game state nor the first small hit game state is set, "00H" is set as the system flag 1 (stored in the main RAM 31c).

  In subsequent step S12, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “01H” is set as the system flag 1 read in step S11 (that is, whether or not the first big hit gaming state is being performed). When “01H” is set as the system flag 1 (step S12: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S13. In step S13, the main CPU 31a reads the special electric accessory processing flag 1 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the special electric accessory processing flag 1. The special electric accessory processing flag 1 includes a jackpot setting process 1 (see FIG. 25), a special prize opening closing 1 process 1 (see FIG. 28), a special winning opening closing 2 process 1 (see FIG. 26), and a special winning opening opening process. 1 (see FIG. 27), big hit end processing 1 (see FIG. 29), small hit setting processing 1 (see FIG. 35), small winning big prize opening closing 2 processing 1 (see FIG. 36), small winning big prize opening This is a flag that designates which of the opening process 1 (see FIG. 37), the small winning big prize opening closing 1 process 1 (see FIG. 38), and the small hit end process 1 (see FIG. 38) is to be executed. .

  As shown in FIG. 14A, when the big hit setting process 1 is executed, “00H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1, and when the big prize opening closing 2 process 1 is executed. “01H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1, and “02H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 when the special winning opening process 1 is executed. Further, when executing the winning prize closing 1 process 1, “03H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1, and when executing the jackpot end processing 1, “04H” Is set. Furthermore, when the small hit setting process 1 is executed, “05H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1, and when the small winning big prize opening closing 2 process 1 is executed, the special electric accessory processing flag 1 “06H” is set as 1, and when the small winning big prize opening process 1 is executed, “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 and the small winning big prize opening closing 1 process 1 is executed. “08H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 when executing, and “09H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 when executing the small hit end processing 1.

  In subsequent step S14, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “02H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 read in step S13 (that is, whether or not the first big prize winning device 23 is open). Determine. When “02H” is not set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 (step S14: N), the main CPU 31a ends the present subroutine without performing the process of step S15. On the other hand, when “02H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 (step S14: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the processing of step S15. In step S15, since the winning of the game ball A1 is detected while the first big winning device 23 is opened (step S10), the main CPU 31a adds 1 to the first big winning opening winning number. Note that the number of winnings in the first big winning opening is the first during the first round effect in the first big hit gaming state or during the opening of the first big winning device 23 in the first big hit gaming state. The number of game balls A1 won in the big winning device 23 is shown. Then, the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine.

  In step S12, when “01H” is not set as the system flag 1 read in step S11 (step S12: N), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S16. In step S16, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “02H” is set as the system flag 1 read in step S11 (that is, whether or not it is in the first small hit gaming state). When “02H” is set as the system flag 1 (step S16: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S17. In step S17, the main CPU 31a reads the special electric accessory processing flag 1 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the special electric accessory processing flag 1.

  In subsequent step S18, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 read in step S17 (that is, whether or not the first big winning device 23 is being opened). Determine. When “07H” is not set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 (step S18: N), the main CPU 31a ends the present subroutine without performing the processing of step S15. On the other hand, when “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 1 (step S18: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the processing of step S15 and ends the present subroutine.

  In step S16, when “02H” is not set as the system flag 1 read in step S11 (step S16: N), the first big hit gaming state or the first small hit gaming state is not set. Since the winning of the game ball A1 is detected by the first count switch SE3 of the one big winning device 23, the main CPU 31a determines that the winning is an illegal winning, and proceeds to the process of step S19. In step S19, the main CPU 31a sets, in the main RAM 31c, an error designation command for notifying the hall computer, the store clerk of the game store, and the player that the prize is illegal. The error designation command set in the main RAM 31c is controlled by the hall computer and the overall control by the output processing (see step MC1 in FIG. 9) and the command output processing (see step MC2 in FIG. 9) of the next timer interrupt processing. The data is output to the overall control CPU 32a of the board 32. When an error designation command is input, the overall control CPU 32a outputs the command to the voice / lamp control CPU 34a of the voice / lamp control board 34 and notifies the lamps 18 and the speaker 17 that the prize is illegal. To control. Then, the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine.

  When the subroutine shown in FIG. 12 ends, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step MD4 shown in FIG. In the process of step MD4 (special electric accessory input process 2), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine of FIG. 13 includes the processes of steps S20 to S29. In step S20, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the game ball A1 has won the second large winning device 24 (whether or not a detection signal has been input from the second count switch SE4). When the game ball A1 has not won the second grand prize winning device 24 (step S20: N), the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine without performing the processing of steps S21 to S29. On the other hand, when the game ball A1 wins the second big winning device 24 (step S20: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S21. In step S21, the main CPU 31a reads the system flag 2 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the system flag 2. The system flag 2 is a flag indicating whether or not the second big hit gaming state or the second small hit gaming state is being executed. Note that “01H” is set (stored in the main RAM 31c) as the system flag 2 when the second big hit gaming state is set, and “02H” is set as the system flag 2 when the second big hit gaming state is set. Is set (stored in the main RAM 31c), and when neither the second big hit game state nor the second small hit game state is set, "00H" is set (stored in the main RAM 31c) as the system flag 2.

  In subsequent step S22, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “01H” is set as the system flag 2 read in step S21 (that is, whether or not the second big hit gaming state is being performed). When “01H” is set as the system flag 2 (step S22: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S23. In step S23, the main CPU 31a reads the special electric accessory processing flag 2 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the special electric accessory processing flag 2. The special electric accessory processing flag 2 includes a jackpot setting process 2 (see FIG. 30), a special winning opening closing 1 process 2 (see FIG. 33), a special winning opening closing 2 process 2 (see FIG. 31), and a special winning opening opening process. 2 (see FIG. 32), big hit end processing 2 (see FIG. 34), small hit setting processing 2 (see FIG. 40), small hit big prize opening closing 2 processing 2 (see FIG. 41), small hit big prize opening This flag specifies which process is to be executed among the opening process 2 (see FIG. 42), the big winning prize opening closing 1 process 2 (see FIG. 43), and the small hit end process 2 (see FIG. 44). .

  As shown in FIG. 14B, when the big hit setting process 2 is executed, “00H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2, and when the big prize opening closing 2 process 2 is executed. “01H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2, and “02H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 when the special winning opening processing 2 is executed. Further, when executing the winning prize closing 1 processing 2, “03H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2, and when executing the jackpot end processing 2, “04H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2. Is set. Further, when the small hit setting process 2 is executed, “05H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2, and when the small winning big prize opening closing 2 process 2 is executed, the special electric accessory processing flag 2 When “06H” is set as 2 and the small winning big prize opening opening process 2 is executed, “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 and the small winning big prize opening closing 1 process 2 is executed. “08H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 when executing, and “09H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 when executing the small hit end processing 2.

  In subsequent step S24, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “02H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 read in step S23 (that is, whether or not the second big prize winning device 24 is open). Determine. When “02H” is not set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 (step S24: N), the main CPU 31a ends the present subroutine without performing the process of step S25. On the other hand, when “02H” is set as the special electric accessory process flag 2 (step S24: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S25. In step S25, the main CPU 31a adds 1 to the second grand prize opening winning number because the winning of the game ball A1 is detected while the second big winning device 24 is opened (step S20). Note that the second grand prize winning number is the second during the round presentation in the second big hit gaming state or during the opening of the second big prize winning device 24 in the second small hit gaming state. The number of game balls A1 won in the big winning device 24 is shown. Then, the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine.

  In the step S22, when “01H” is not set as the system flag 1 read in the step S21 (step S22: N), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S26. In step S26, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “02H” is set as the system flag 2 read in step S21 (that is, whether or not it is in the second small hit gaming state). When “02H” is set as the system flag 2 (step S26: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S27. In step S27, the main CPU 31a reads the special electric accessory processing flag 2 from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the contents of the special electric accessory processing flag 2.

  In subsequent step S28, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 read in step S27 (that is, whether or not the second big prize winning device 24 is open). Determine. When “07H” is not set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 (step S28: N), the main CPU 31a ends the present subroutine without performing the processing of step S25. On the other hand, when “07H” is set as the special electric accessory processing flag 2 (step S28: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S25 and ends the present subroutine.

  In step S26, when “01H” is not set as the system flag 2 read in step S21 (step S26: N), the second big winning device 24 of the second big winning device 24 is not in the second big hit gaming state. Since the winning of the game ball A1 is detected by the count switch SE4, the main CPU 31a determines that the winning is an illegal winning, and proceeds to the process of step S29. In step S29, the main CPU 31a sets the error designation command in the main RAM 31c. Then, the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine and ends the subroutine shown in FIG.

  When the subroutine shown in FIG. 10 ends, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step MC4 shown in FIG. In step MC4, the main CPU 31a executes random number processing for updating various random numbers such as a hit determination random number, a first big hit symbol random number, and a second big hit symbol random number, and proceeds to the process of step MC5.

  In the process of step MC5 (special symbol 1 start process), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine of FIG. 15 includes the processes of steps S40 to S51. In step S40, the main CPU 31a reads the first special symbol reserved ball number from the main RAM 31c in order to confirm the first special symbol reserved ball number, and proceeds to the processing of step S41. In step S41, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the number of first special symbol reserved balls read in step S40 is greater than zero. When the number of first special symbol reservation balls is 0 (step S41: N), the main CPU 31a ends this subroutine without performing the processing of steps S42 to S51. On the other hand, when the number of first special symbol reservation balls is larger than 0 (step S41: Y), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S42.

  In step S42, the main CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the number of first special symbol reserved balls stored in the main RAM 31c, and proceeds to the process of step S43. In step S43, the main CPU 31a reads a random number for hit determination corresponding to “1” of the number of first special symbol reservation balls acquired by the special symbol input process (see FIG. 11) and stored in the main RAM 31c. In step S43, when the winning determination random number corresponding to the first special symbol holding ball number “1” is read, the main CPU 31a uses the winning determination random number corresponding to the first special symbol holding ball number “2”. Update to a random number for hit determination corresponding to “1” of the number of first special symbol reserved balls. The main CPU 31a also subtracts 1 (for example, “4” → “3”, “3” → “2”) from the first judgment symbol random number corresponding to each first special symbol reserved ball count. The random number for hit determination corresponding to is updated.

  In subsequent step S44, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the hit determination random number read in step S43 matches the first big hit determination value (executes the first big hit determination). Further, the main CPU 31a confirms the contents of the probability variation flag 1, and when the probability variation flag 1 is “01H”, the main CPU 31a executes the first big hit determination based on the 19 first big hit determination values, and the probability variation When the flag 1 is “00H”, the first big hit determination is executed based on the four first big hit determination values. The probability variation flag 1 indicates whether or not the first probability variation state is given as the gaming state. When the first probability variation state is assigned, “01H” is set as the probability variation flag 1, and when the first probability variation state is not assigned, “00H” is set as the probability variation flag 1. .

  When the hit determination random number matches the first big hit determination value (step S44: Y), that is, when the big hit is determined, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S45. In step S45, the main CPU 31a sets (sets) "01H" as the big hit flag 1 stored in the main RAM 31c, and proceeds to the processing of step S46. The big hit flag 1 is a flag indicating whether or not the first variable game determined to be a big hit is being played. The big hit flag 1 is set to “01H” during the execution of the first variable game that is a big hit, and “ 00H "is set.

  On the other hand, if the hit determination random number does not match the first big hit determination value (step S44: N), the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S47. In step S47, the main CPU 31a determines whether or not the hit determination random number read in step S43 matches the first small hit determination value (executes the first small hit determination). The main CPU 31a executes the first small hit determination based on one first small hit determination value.

  When the hit determination random number matches the first small hit determination value (step S47: Y), that is, when the small hit is determined, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S48. On the other hand, when the hit determination random number does not match the first small hit determination value (step S47: N), that is, when the loss is determined, the main CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S49, which is a process related to the loss.

  In the process of step S46 (special symbol 1 big hit variation setting process), the main CPU 31a executes a subroutine shown in FIG. The subroutine in FIG. 21 includes the processes of steps S100 to S105. In step S100, the main CPU 31a obtains the first jackpot symbol for random numbers in the special symbol input process (see FIG. 11) and checks the first special symbol holding ball number “1” stored in the main RAM 31c. The first big hit symbol random number corresponding to “is read. In step S100, when the main CPU 31a reads the first big hit symbol random number corresponding to “1” of the first special symbol reserved ball number, the first CPU corresponding to the first special symbol reserved ball number “2”. The jackpot symbol random number is updated to the first jackpot symbol random number corresponding to the first special symbol reserve ball number “1”. The main CPU 31a also subtracts 1 from the first jackpot symbol random number corresponding to each first special symbol reserved ball number (for example, “4” → “3”, “3” → “2”). The random number for the first big hit symbol corresponding to the number of reserved balls is updated.

  In the following step S101, the main CPU 31a selects the first special symbol B1 based on the first big hit symbol random number read in step S100, and proceeds to the processing in step S102. In step S102, the main CPU 31a stores (sets) the first special symbol B1 selected in step S101 in the main RAM 31c, and proceeds to the processing in step S103.

  In step S103, the main CPU 31a stores the maximum value 1 of the number of continuous operations of the special electric accessory and the special electric accessory preliminary timer 1 in the main RAM 31c. The maximum value 1 of the number of continuous operations of the special electric accessory is the number of rounds (“15” or “2”) in which the round effect is performed in the first big hit gaming state. The special electric accessory preliminary timer 1 indicates an opening time (25000 ms or 10000 ms) for opening the first grand prize winning device 23.

  Next, a game procedure will be described.

  (A-1) In the normal gaming state, the player launches (so-called left-handed) the game ball A1 aiming at the first starting winning device 21 (the upper starting winning port 21a and the lower starting winning port 21b). Then, when the game ball A1 wins the first start winning device 21, the first symbol variation game for varying the first special symbol B1 is started. In this embodiment, the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game will be a big hit in the normal gaming state is set to 4/1399 (= 1 / 349.75), and the first symbol variation in the normal gaming state is set. The probability that the game result is a small hit is set to 1/399. Then, when the result of the first symbol variation game becomes a big hit, the first big winning device 23 is given a first big hit game state in which the first big winning device 23 is in the first open state, which is the open state for the big hit, and the result of the first symbol variation game is obtained. When is a small hit, the first big winning device 23 is given a first small hit gaming state in a second open state that is an open state for small hits.

  (A-2) Here, when the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit with the non-probable variation symbol (the first special symbol B1 indicating the numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”). In the first symbol variation game started after the end of the first big hit gaming state, the variation time reduction state is given. In this case, the player continues to left and starts the first symbol variation game. And when provision of a variation time shortening state is complete | finished, it returns to a game (A-1).

  In addition, when the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit in the probability variation symbol (the first special symbol B1 indicating the numbers “1”, “3”, “5”), the game is started after the end of the first big hit gaming state. In the first symbol variation game, the first probability variation state is given. Also in this case, the player continues to make a left turn to start the first symbol variation game. At this time, the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game will be a big hit is 19/399 (= 1 / 73.63), while the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game will be a big hit is 1399 minutes. 1 remains. And when provision of the 1st probability variation state is complete | finished, it returns to a game (A-1).

  (A-3) Further, when the result of the first symbol variation game becomes a big hit with the first big hit symbol (first special symbol B1 indicating the number “7”), the second probability variation state in the second symbol variation game Is given, and a first notification effect for displaying the characters “start right-handed” on the symbol display device 61 is performed. At this time, the player launches (so-called right-handed) the game ball A1 aiming at the second start winning device 22 (start winning port 22a). Then, when the game ball A1 wins the second start winning device 22, a second symbol variation game for varying the second special symbol B2 is started. In the present embodiment, the probability that the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state will be a big hit is set to 19/1399 (= 73.63), and the result in the second probability variation state is The probability that the result of the second symbol fluctuation game will be a small hit is set to 1370/1399 (= 1 / 1.02). In other words, the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is a small hit in most cases. Then, when the result of the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit, the second big winning device 24 is given a second big hit game state in which the first big open device 24 is in the first open state, and when the result of the second symbol variation game becomes the small hit, A second small hit gaming state in which the two big winning devices 24 are in the second open state is given. In the second small hit game state, the effect that the character cuts the enemy is displayed on the symbol display device 61, and the second big prize winning device 24 switches to the second open state for 1.7 seconds (= 1700 ms). Effect is executed once. Further, when the result of the second symbol variation game is lost (in this embodiment, only lose reach), an effect that a boss appears during the execution of the reach is displayed on the symbol display device 61, and the second special symbol B2 and the second symbol B2 are displayed. When the effect symbol E2 stops and loses, the symbol display device 61 displays an effect that the character draws with the boss.

  (A-4) Thereafter, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state becomes a big hit with the first big hit symbol, an effect that the character wins the boss is displayed on the symbol display device 61. In this case, the player continues left-handed and performs a game (A-3) for starting the second symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is a big hit with the second big hit symbol (the probability variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol), an effect that the character loses to the boss is displayed on the symbol display device 61. Then, a second notification effect is displayed in which the characters “start left-handed” are displayed on the symbol display device 61. In this case, the player switches the game to the left and plays the game (A-1).

  Next, a description will be given of a countermeasure when a right-handed (second symbol variation game) is started even though the second probability variation state is not given.

  (B-1) When the player makes a right strike in the normal gaming state and the game ball A1 wins the second start winning device 22, the second symbol variation game is executed. In this case, as in the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state, in most cases, it is a small hit. Similarly to the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state, in the second small game state, the second big winning device 24 is switched to the second release state for 1.7 seconds (= 1700 ms). The production is executed once. Therefore, if the control of the second symbol variation game in the case where the second probability variation state is not given is the same control as the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state, the game ball when the player always hits the right There is a risk that A1 will increase and become a big hit.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second symbol that is a small hit in the normal gaming state than the variation time of the second symbol variation game that is a small hit in the second probability variation state (0.5 seconds in the present embodiment). The fluctuation time of the fluctuation game (120 seconds in this embodiment) is set to be long. In this way, the time required for one cycle from the start of the second symbol variation game to the small hit becomes longer. Therefore, for example, if the probability that the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit is 1/350, the average value of the time required for the first big hit is 350 rotations × 120 seconds (2 minutes) = 700 minutes. (11 hours 40 minutes). As a result, it becomes difficult to win the game ball A1 to the second big prize winning device 24 and it becomes difficult to obtain the prize ball, so that the player does not make the first starting prize winning device 21 win the game ball A1. No longer have an idea of intentionally winning the game ball A1 in the 2-start winning device 22.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state, the opening time of the second big prize winning device 24 (1700 ms in the present embodiment) when the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is a small hit. The opening time (100 ms in this embodiment) of the second big prize winning device 24 when the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit is set short. In this way, it is extremely difficult to win the game ball A1 to the second large winning device 24 even if the small hits occur frequently and the second large winning device 24 is switched to the second open state. . As a result, it becomes difficult to win a prize ball by winning the game ball A1 to the second big prize winning device 24, so that the player does not make the first start prize winning device 21 win the game ball A1 and the second start winning prize device. 22 does not have the idea of intentionally winning the game ball A1.

  In the present embodiment, when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started, the second effect symbol E2 is displayed small in the lower right part of the visible display portion of the symbol display device 61. In this embodiment, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is a big hit, it is not one of “15R probability variation 1”, “15R probability variation 2”, and “15R time variation”, but the second probability variation state. And the 2nd big hit game state where a change time shortening state is not provided is given. Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is a big hit, an effect that the character loses to the boss is displayed on the symbol display device 61. For this reason, the merit at the time of a big hit becomes small.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state with a high probability of being a small hit is a big hit with the second big hit symbol as an opportunity to start the first symbol variation game It is repeated until it does. Therefore, the player cannot assume the timing at which the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state ends, and therefore cannot assume the number of prize balls that can be obtained during the second small hit gaming state. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for the small hit (second small hit game state), and to improve the interest in the game.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls can be acquired as the small hits frequently occur in the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state (the so-called Hamari state in the past) (for example, Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the stress caused by conventional humming. Also, even if it is not a so-called battle spec pachinko machine (probability of winning a big hit, for example, 1/400), it is possible to obtain a larger number of award balls than a conventional pachinko machine while setting the probability of winning a big hit It becomes. Furthermore, in the past, the big hit with the probability variation state was the most advantageous gaming state for the player, but since the small hit can be positioned in a more advantageous gaming state, the range of performance Will spread.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when the result of the first symbol variation game in the normal gaming state is a big hit, the player is more than the normal gaming state as the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed. “2R probability variation 1” and “2R probability variation 2”, which are advantageous to the user, are given. In addition, when the result of the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state is a big hit, the first big hit gaming state in which two round effects are executed is more advantageous to the player than the first probability variation state. Only “2R probability variation 2”, which is a state, is provided, while “2R probability variation 1”, which is not more advantageous to the player than the first probability variation state, is not provided. That is, since the first big hit gaming state in which the two round effects are executed is for shifting to a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player, there are few prize balls because the round effects are executed only twice. Even in this case, dissatisfaction with the prize ball can be reduced.

  (4) For example, when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started, the same second jackpot determination or second as in the case of starting the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state Small hit determination is performed. That is, for example, even if the first starting prize device 21 does not win the game ball A1 and only the second starting prize device 22 wins the game ball A1, the second symbol variation game frequently has a small hit. . That is, the gaming state when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started becomes the same gaming state as when the second symbol variation game is started in the second probability variation state. As a result, it becomes easy to acquire a prize ball, and there is a possibility of causing damage to the game shop.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the variation time (120 seconds) of the game effect specified by the second small hit effect variation pattern P2b-2 determined at the start of the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state. The game effect change time (0.5 seconds) specified by the first small hit effect change pattern P2a-2 determined at the start of the second symbol change game in the second probability change state is set. ing. Thus, for example, when the first start winning device 21 does not win the game ball A1 and only the second start winning device 22 wins a game ball, and the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit, the small hit effect However, the frequency of the second big winning device 24 being in the second open state per unit time is reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the second small winning game state is given after the end of the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state, the opening time (100 ms) when the second big winning device 24 is in the second release state. ) Is shorter than the opening time (1700 ms) when the second big winning device 24 is in the second open state when the second small winning game state is given after the end of the second symbol change game in the second probability changing state. It is set. Therefore, for example, even if the first starting prize device 21 does not win the game ball A1 and only the second starting prize device 22 wins the game ball A1, and the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit, Since the time for the two major winning devices 24 to be in the second open state is short, it is difficult to win the game ball A1 and it is difficult to acquire the winning ball.

  As a result, it becomes difficult to win the game ball A1 to the second big prize winning device 24 and it becomes difficult to obtain the prize ball, so that the player does not make the first starting prize winning device 21 win the game ball A1. No longer have an idea of intentionally winning the game ball A1 in the 2-start winning device 22. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to play a game as intended by the designer.

  (5) For example, when the result of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is a big hit of “15R short time” and shifts to the left, the second special symbol suspension for starting the second symbol variation game If a big hit is included in the number of balls, it takes too much time for the result of the second symbol fluctuation game to become a big hit, so it is not preferable to increase the fluctuation time. On the other hand, in the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state, it is necessary to lengthen the variation time to some extent in order to prevent an increase in the game ball A1 due to the right strike. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the variation time of the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state (that is, the variation time of the game effect specified by the variation patterns P2a-1 to P2a-5) is about 60 seconds on average. Therefore, the above problem can be solved.

(6) In the present embodiment, the flow velocity of the game ball A1 decreases by colliding with the obstacle nail 83, and the direction of the game ball A1 is changed every time it collides with the obstacle nail 83. It takes time to flow down the passing game ball A1. Furthermore, since the plurality of obstacle nails 83 project from the flow delay area 80, the game ball A1 passing through the flow delay area 80 is likely to collide with the obstacle nail 83. Therefore, the flow-down speed of the game ball A1 can be reliably reduced. Moreover, since the obstacle nail group 84 including the plurality of obstacle nails 83 is arranged in a plurality of rows in the vertical direction of the game board 13, the flow-down speed of the game ball A1 can be reduced stepwise. Specifically, after the flow velocity of the game ball A1 is reduced by the upper row of obstacle nail groups 84a, the flow velocity of the game ball A1 can be further reduced by the lower row of obstacle nail groups 84b. From the above, since it becomes impossible to predict the time for the game ball A1 launched aiming at the right side of the center object 60 to reach the second start winning device 22, it is possible to prevent the stop hitting the second starting winning device 22. can do.
[Second Embodiment]

  Next, the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment will be described in detail. Here, the description will focus on the parts that are different from the first embodiment, and the common parts will not be described in place of the same member numbers.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the second variation pattern distribution table to which the variation pattern for the second symbol variation game when not in the second probability variation state is allocated is different from that of the first embodiment. That is, in the second variation pattern distribution table 2C (see FIG. 45) of the present embodiment, the variation pattern P2c-1 for the lose reach effect and the 27 second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to Pc- 28 and a variation pattern P2c-29 for jackpot presentation are distributed. That is, 29 variation patterns are allocated to the second variation pattern distribution table 2C. Each variation pattern P2c-1 to P2c-29 is changed after the symbol (second effect symbol E2) of each column displayed on the second effect symbol display unit 72 starts to change (starts the second symbol combination game). This is for specifying the time and contents of the game effect until the symbols in all the rows stop (the second symbol combination game ends). Each variation pattern P2c-1 to P2c-29 is assigned a second variation pattern distribution random number value (100 integers from 0 to 99 in this embodiment). The variation pattern P2b-1 indicates a pattern that is a base for a lost reach effect in which the middle symbol stops at a symbol different from the left symbol and the right symbol in the case of normal reach. The second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to P2c-28 indicate patterns that serve as a base for the small hit effect in which the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol all stop at the same symbol when the reach is not performed. ing. The fluctuation pattern P2c-29 indicates a pattern that becomes a base of the jackpot effect in which the middle symbol stops at the same symbol as the left symbol and the right symbol in the case of normal reach.

  As shown in FIG. 45, the variation times of the game effects specified by the second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to Pc-28 are different from each other and are not the same. Further, the game effect change time specified by each of the second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to P2c-28 is the game effect change time specified by the first small hit effect change pattern P2a-2 ( 0.5 seconds) and 35 seconds or more. Specifically, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-2 is 40 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-3 is 50 seconds, and the change pattern P2c− The change time of the game effect specified by 4 is 60 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-5 is 70 seconds, and the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-6 Is 80 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-7 is 90 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-8 is 100 seconds, and the change pattern P2c- The change time of the game effect specified by 9 is 110 seconds, and the change of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-10. The time is 120 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-11 is 130 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-12 is 140 seconds, and the change pattern P2c The variation time of the game effect identified by -13 is 150 seconds, the variation time of the game effect identified by the variation pattern P2c-14 is 160 seconds, and the variation of the game effect identified by the variation pattern P2c-15 The time is 170 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-16 is 180 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-17 is 190 seconds, and the change pattern P2c The variation time of the game effect specified by -18 is 200 seconds, and the variation pattern P2c The game effect change time specified by 19 is 210 seconds, the game effect change time specified by the change pattern P2c-20 is 220 seconds, and the game effect change time specified by the change pattern P2c-21. Is 230 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-22 is 240 seconds, the change time of the game effect specified by the change pattern P2c-23 is 250 seconds, and the change pattern P2c- The game effect change time specified by 24 is 260 seconds, the game effect change time specified by the change pattern P2c-25 is 270 seconds, and the game effect change time specified by the change pattern P2c-26. Is 280 seconds, and the variation time of the game effect specified by the variation pattern P2c-27 is It is 290 seconds, and the variation time of the game effect specified by the variation pattern P2c-28 is 300 seconds.

  Then, the main CPU 31a of the present embodiment starts the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state, and the first variation pattern distribution table 2A when the determination result by the second small hit determination is a small hit. The first small hit effect variation pattern P2a-2 stored in (see FIG. 7A) is determined. On the other hand, when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started and the determination result by the second small hit determination is a small hit, that is, even though the second probability variation state is not given. When the right strike is started, the main CPU 31a selects from among the plurality of second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to P2c-28 stored in the second variation pattern distribution table 2C (see FIG. 45). One second small hit effect variation pattern is determined with the same probability.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (7) For example, when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started, the same second jackpot determination or second as in the case of starting the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state Small hit determination is performed. That is, for example, even if the first starting prize device 21 does not win the game ball A1 and only the second starting prize device 22 wins the game ball A1, the second symbol variation game frequently has a small hit. . That is, the gaming state when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started becomes the same gaming state as when the second symbol variation game is started in the second probability variation state. As a result, it becomes easy to acquire a prize ball, and there is a possibility of causing damage to the game shop.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is started and a small hit is made, the variation patterns P2c-2 to P2c-28 for the second small hit effect are selected. One second small hit effect variation pattern is determined. In addition, the variation times of the game effects specified by the plurality of second small hit effect variation patterns P2c-2 to P2c-28 are made different from each other. Thus, for example, when the game ball A1 is not awarded to the first start winning device 21 but the game ball A1 is awarded only to the second start winning device 22, and the result of the second symbol variation game is a small win, Even if the variation pattern for the small hit effect is determined, it is not possible to know when the small hit effect based on the second small hit effect variation pattern ends. For this reason, the player cannot assume the timing when the second big prize winning device 24 is in the second open state. As a result, it becomes difficult for the game ball A1 to win the second big prize winning device 24 and it becomes difficult to acquire the prize ball. Therefore, the player does not win the game ball A1 in the first starting prize winning device 21. The idea of intentionally winning the game ball A1 in the second starting prize-winning device 22 by stopping is lost. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to play a game as intended by the designer.

  (8) In this embodiment, the variation time of the game effect specified by each second small hit effect variation pattern P2c-2 to P2c-28 is set to 35 seconds or more. Therefore, when the result of the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state is a small hit, the small hit effect does not end immediately, so the second big winning device 24 is in the second open state per unit time. The frequency of becoming lowers. Therefore, not only the timing of the second big winning device 24 is not realized, but also the right-handed time efficiency can be lowered in the second symbol variation game that is not in the second probability variation state.

  (9) In the present embodiment, the number of variation patterns distributed to the second variation pattern distribution table 2C (see FIG. 45) is as small as 29. Thereby, an increase in the capacity of data stored in the main ROM 31b can be suppressed, and the burden on the main CPU 31a can be reduced. In addition, it becomes easy to secure the data area of the main ROM 31b, and it becomes easy to add a new program to the main ROM 31b. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since there is no same variation time of the game effect specified by each second small hit effect variation pattern P2c-2 to Pc-28, the small hit effect with the minimum number of variation patterns A gaming state in which the end timing cannot be assumed can be established.

  In addition, you may change each said embodiment as follows.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the determined second special symbol B2 is the second big hit symbol (“1.” to “6.”, “8.”), the second probability variation state in the second probability variation state Although the symbol variation game has been ended, the second symbol variation game may be terminated depending on other conditions. For example, when a second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state is performed, a lottery is performed, and when the lottery is won and the provision of the second probability variation state is terminated (so-called “falling lottery”) The second symbol variation game may be ended. In addition, triggered by the second symbol variation game in the second probability variation state being executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 or 10 times) and finishing the provision of the second probability variation state (so-called “number cut probability variation”). The second symbol variation game may be ended.

  -In each said embodiment, you may change the content of the gaming state provided when 1st special symbol B1 is a probability variation symbol ("1", "3", "5"). For example, when the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c are in the closed state and in the normal gaming state, when “2R probability variation 1” is given as the first big hit gaming state, the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c is maintained in the closed state. It may be. Further, when the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c are in the closed state and in the first probability variation state, when “2R probability variation 1” is given as the first big hit gaming state, the pair of opening / closing pieces 21b are switched to the opened state. You may do it. Further, when the pair of opening / closing pieces 21c are in the open state and in the normal gaming state, when “2R probability variation 1” is given as the first big hit gaming state, the pair of opening / closing pieces 21b is maintained in the open state. It may be.

  In the above embodiment, the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game will be a small hit in the normal gaming state is set to 1/1399, but the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game will be a small hit is set. It may be set to 0. That is, the result of the first symbol variation game may not be a small hit.

  -Although the flow-down delay area | region 80 of each said embodiment was comprised by the some obstruction nail 83, you may comprise the flow-down delay area | region 80 by the windmill 42 etc. which change the direction of game ball A1, for example.

The probability that the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit is set higher than the probability that the result of the first symbol variation game is a small hit,
After the result of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit in the jackpot symbol and the second probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit is awarded , the second symbol variation game is given. By playing a game in the game, a transition is made to the second probability variation state , which becomes a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than playing a game in the first symbol variation game,
After the result of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit in the jackpot symbol and the first probability variation big hit or the third probability variation big hit is awarded , the first symbol variation game is given. By playing a game in the game, a transition is made to the first probability variation state , which becomes a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than playing a game in the second symbol variation game,
In the first symbol variation game in the first probability variation state, the third probability variation jackpot is not awarded,
During the second probability variation state, the third probability variation jackpot and the fourth probability variation jackpot are not given, and the second probability variation jackpot is likely to be given,
At least when transitioning to the second probability variation state , the big prize device is in the second open state,
In the second probability variation state , the number of prize balls to be paid out is increased based on the winning of game balls in the second release state per unit time as compared to the first probability variation state. ,
When shifting to the first probability variation state , the game ball to the big winning device when the result of the second symbol variation game is a small hit as compared to the case of shifting to the second probability variation state . A gaming machine that is difficult to win. When the result of the first symbol variation game is a big hit, the first special symbol determined by the first symbol determining means becomes the big hit symbol, and the first big hit gaming state is the second probability variable big hit or the fourth probability variation jackpot with a Rutoki, is shifted to the second probability change state,
After the transition to the second probability variation state , when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the second special symbol determined by the second symbol determination means becomes the big hit symbol, and the second the jackpot gaming state is such and the second probability variation jackpot Rutoki, is continued as the second probability change state,
After the transition to the second probability variation state , when the result of the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the second special symbol determined by the second symbol determination means becomes the big hit symbol, and the second to the jackpot gaming state the first probability variation big hit with a Rutoki, gaming machine according to claim 1, characterized in that shifting to the first probability change state. First winning signal output means for outputting a first winning signal in response to a game ball winning in the first starting winning device, and second winning in response to a game ball winning in the second starting winning device. Second winning signal output means for outputting a signal,
The game control means includes
A winning signal determining means for determining whether the input winning signal is the first winning signal or the second winning signal;
When it is determined that the input winning signal is the first winning signal, control is performed to execute the first symbol variation game,
The control for causing the second symbol variation game to be executed independently of the first symbol variation game when it is determined that the input winning signal is the second prize signal. The gaming machine according to 1 or 2 .
