Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which, when a jackpot display result is displayed in a symbol variation game, a jackpot game is played after the symbol variation game ends.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine, a random number for determining a big hit is obtained when a gaming ball enters a start winning opening arranged on the gaming board, and the value of the random number is determined in advance. Depending on whether or not the big hit determination value matches, the big hit lottery of whether or not the big hit is done. In addition, the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which symbols of a plurality of columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the player can recognize the jackpot if the result is a jackpot display result that is finally displayed in a fixed stop state. The jackpot game to be performed when the symbol combination finally stopped and displayed is a jackpot display result is composed of a plurality of round games. Some of today's pachinko machines are provided with a plurality of types of jackpot games with a difference in the number of rounds such as a two-round jackpot game and a 15-round jackpot game.

  Two-round jackpot games are generally set so that the opening time of the big prize opening is so short that game balls (prize balls) can hardly be obtained. It is configured to give a state (variation). On the other hand, in the 15 round big hit game, generally, the opening time of the big prize opening is set to the time that can enter the specified number of game balls, and a lot of game balls are acquired for each round game. It is configured to let you.

  However, since the difference in the opening mode of the big prize opening is obvious at a glance between the 2 round jackpot game and the 15 round jackpot game, the player can easily recognize which jackpot game is generated from the opening mode of the big prize opening. I can do it. In addition, since the 2-round jackpot game cannot acquire a large amount of game balls, the player feels that the profit is less than that of a 15-round jackpot game that can acquire a large amount of game balls, which impairs the interest of the game. There was a fear.

  Therefore, a gaming machine that has been concealed so that the player does not know whether a 15-round jackpot game or a 2-round jackpot game has been awarded has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the round game in the first round and the second round of the 15 round jackpot game is set to the same open mode as the round game in the two round jackpot game. By doing so, a gaming machine that can be expected if the winning jackpot game may have won the 15 round jackpot game even if the player has won the two round jackpot game is proposed. ing.

  By the way, among the game stores, there is a game store that notifies a player that a big hit game has been given by an external display device. In such a game store, a 15-round jackpot game with a large number of game balls that a player can acquire is notified, while a 2-round jackpot game with a small number of game balls that can be acquired is not notified. There is also an amusement store. In such a case, since it is possible to recognize from the notification mode of the external display device whether a 15-round jackpot game has been granted or a 2-round jackpot game has been granted, , Recognize that 15 rounds jackpot game is not granted. Therefore, even if the opening mode of the first big winning opening in the 15 round jackpot game is the same as the opening mode of the big winning opening in the 2 round jackpot game, it cannot be made to think that it may have won the 15 round jackpot game. .

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine that can conceal which jackpot game is given.

  In FIG. 2, a first special figure display H0 as a 7-segment type display means and a second special figure display H1 as a 7-segment type display means are provided at the lower right of the game area 13a of the game board 13. Is provided. In the game area 13a of the game board 13, a variable display H2 is disposed as a liquid crystal display type display means or effect execution means. The game area 13a of the game board 13 is provided with a center accessory 20 as a decorative member. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display H0 is referred to as “first variation game (first symbol variation game)”, and the symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. ”Fluctuation game (second symbol fluctuation game)”. On the other hand, in the display effect relating to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). A decorative drawing is displayed for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed as a fixed stop. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped at the same time). ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state). ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 include a lottery result of a lottery lottery and a lottery lottery from among a plurality of types of special drawings (105 types in the present embodiment). One corresponding special figure is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 105 types of special symbols are 100 types of big hit symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize the big hit, and four types of small hit symbols (small hit display result) that can be used to recognize the small hit. )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. When a predetermined symbol combination ([010] [121] [232] [343] [454] [565] [676] [707] in this embodiment) is displayed among the symbol combinations that are out of place. It can be recognized that a big hit game or a small hit game may be awarded. A symbol combination that suggests the possibility that a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot determination is from low probability to high probability is given to the symbol combination that can recognize that this jackpot game or small hit game may be awarded It becomes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorations in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (in this embodiment, the left column and the right column) are stopped in the same type, and columns other than the specific columns (in the present embodiment, the middle column) This is a state in which the decorative drawing in the column) is variably displayed. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops and displays the decorative drawing next. It becomes a 2nd stop display row | line | column, and also the middle row | line | column which stops and displays a decoration drawing finally becomes a 3rd stop display row | line | column.

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special combination displayed on the first special graphic display H0 or the second special graphic display H1 and a combination of symbols displayed on the variable display H2 are associated with each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when a big hit symbol is displayed on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 in a definite stop display, as a general rule, the variable indication H2 also has a big hit symbol combination (for example, [333] [666 ]) Is displayed to confirm and stop. Further, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a variable symbol combination is also displayed on the variable display H2 (for example, [234] [557] [545]. ]) Is displayed to confirm and stop. In addition, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0, the symbol combination (for example, [343] [454]) that suggests the probable change is displayed on the variable display H2 as a fixed stop display. It has become. In the present embodiment, if the big win lottery is not won in the second variable game, the small hit lottery is not performed. That is, in this embodiment, since the small hit game is not given in the second variation game, the small hit symbol is not stopped and displayed on the second special figure display H1.

  In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing for the special drawing is not limited to one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects related to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which the three symbol combinations are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 so as to sandwich the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are turned on is called “0”, and the general map shown when only the right LED is turned on is called “1”. The usual figure shown by turning on only the LED is the ordinary figure “2”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or deviation from a symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1” or “2”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  An operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 4) that detects a winning (passed) game ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 27 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 27). The second start winning opening 27 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26, and in this closed state, a game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, in the second start winning opening 27, when a game is given per usual figure, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened to open the second starting winning opening 27 so that a game ball can be won. . That is, when a game is given per game, a game ball can be awarded to the second start prize opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26, so that it becomes easier to win a game ball at the second start prize slot 27, The player can obtain a chance to easily acquire the starting condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal symbol holding display M is disposed above the normal symbol display H10. The normal symbol hold indicator M has the number of stored start balls stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c) as the game balls pass through the actuating gate 23 and becomes the start hold balls (hereinafter referred to as “the normal figure start hold memory number”). The number of times of the regular game being held is notified by the display content of the normal symbol hold display M.

  The usual figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual figure game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the general-use start reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). And the normal symbol hold | maintenance display M is comprised by the multiple (4 pieces) light emission means. When one light-emitting means is lit, it is informed that one normal game is pending.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function to give a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (5/1987 in this embodiment) to a high probability (49/1987 in this embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished until the next big hit is generated. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open / close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the normal game is the normal probability (this In the embodiment, there is a case where a state of improved entrance rate that varies from 5/251) to a high probability (in this embodiment, 250/251) is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that when the improved entrance rate state is not given when the winning game is won. In other words, when the game is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once and the opening state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the opening. . On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game in the state where the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1480 ms elapses after opening in one opening. It has become. That is, the opening / closing blade 26 has a longer total opening time when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and operates more advantageously for the player than when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Is set.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is entered, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number of game balls enter even if the ball has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, the entrance rate improvement state of this embodiment is determined depending on the type of jackpot game and whether or not it is given depending on the game state in which the symbol variation game that is a jackpot was played. A period (such as the number of symbol variation games) in which the ball percentage improvement state is given is determined.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that provides a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”) state as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. ing. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. That is, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates advantageously. Yes. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, four times) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is stopped and displayed on the respective displays H0 to H2 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage, the round game in which the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as a predetermined upper limit (in this embodiment, seven rounds or two rounds). Is called. One round game is performed until the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times. During one round game, the grand prize opening device 29 has a predetermined number (the maximum number of balls to be entered). ) Until the game ball wins or until the specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the five types of big hit games shown in FIG. 3, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become. Of the five types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, the 100 special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are five groups of symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, symbol D and symbol E as shown in FIG. are categorized.

  And in the symbol A, one kind of big hit symbol is distributed among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0.

The round game time (25 (seconds)) of the second to seventh rounds is the total opening time (0.6 (seconds) +0.6 (seconds) +23.8 ( Second) = 25 (seconds)). The round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may be ended when a maximum number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIG. 3, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the jump-up jackpot game is “2.0 (seconds)” except for the last round interval, and the last round interval is “1”. .996 (seconds) ".

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol d is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol d is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “2R probability variable jackpot game”. In the 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “10 balls”. In addition, in the two round games in the 2R probability variable big hit game, each of the round games is set such that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “once”. In the 2R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changed state is given after the big hit game ends. In addition, in 2R probability variable big hit games, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a case where the improved winning rate is given after the big hit game is finished, and a case where the higher entrance rate is not given after the big hit game is finished There is. Specifically, if neither the probability variation state nor the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned after the end of the big hit game. On the other hand, if either of the probable change state or the improved entrance rate is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the improved entrance rate is maintained until the next big hit occurs after the end of the big hit game Is granted.

  In the 2R probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “0.04 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.6 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “5.164 (seconds). ) ”Is set. In other words, the opening time and the round game time in the 2R probability variable big hit game are the opening time of the jump-up big hit game and the opening time of the first and second big prize opening devices 29 (the big prize opening door 28) in the first round. Is set to the same time. Further, although not shown in FIG. 3, the interval time (inter-round interval) between rounds in the 2R probability variable big hit game is “2.0 (seconds)” in rounds other than the final round, and “1. 996 (seconds) ". As a result, in the 2R probable big hit game, the time ("3.2 (seconds)") from when the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 opens in the first round to when it closes in the second round is In the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 finishes the second opening is set to be the same time.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.6 (seconds)) of the 2R probability variable big hit game, the number of game balls that enter the big prize opening device 29 in one round game satisfies the upper limit number of balls entered. There is no set time. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of 2R probability variable big hit game, it is practical to launch and enter “10 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (0.6 (seconds)). It is impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol E is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol e is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 7-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “7” and a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability change state is given). Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol E is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol e is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “7R non-probable big hit game”. Further, in the 7R non-probable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “10 balls”. In addition, in the 7 round games in the 7R non-probability big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in 7R non-probable big hit games, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable state is not given after the big hit game ends, but four symbol change games are ended after the big hit game ends. A short time state (increase in the entrance rate) is given up to the upper limit.

  In the 7R non-probable big hit game, “9.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “10.6 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Further, the opening state of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 of each round game in the 7R non-probability big hit game is the opening form of the big prize opening device 29 of each round game in the 7R special probability variable big hit game and the 7R normal probability variable big hit game. This is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIG. 3, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 7R non-probable big hit game is “2.0 (seconds)” in rounds excluding the final round, and “1” in the final round. .996 (seconds) ".

  The small hit game given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 has the specified round number set to “1” and one round The upper limit number of games (count number) is set to “10 balls”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously given even after the small hit game is finished, while if the probability variation state is not granted, after the small hit game is finished. Does not give a probable state. In addition, in the small hit game, if the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the entrance rate improvement state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game, while the entrance rate improvement state is given. If it is not done, the entrance rate improvement state is not given even after the end of the small hit game.

  In the small hit game, “0 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “5.212 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.6 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “1.988 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. As a result, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “3.188 (seconds)” consisting of “0.6 (seconds) +1.988 (seconds) +0.6 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is closed in the second round after the grand prize opening device 29 (the big winning entrance door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R probability variation big hit game. It is almost the same time as the time until. Further, the round game time of the small hit game is substantially the same as the time from the first prize opening device 29 opening for the first time to the end of the second open in the first round of the jump up jackpot game. The

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (3.188 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in the round game of the small hit game, it is practical to launch and enter “10 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls, within the round game time (3.188 (seconds)). It is impossible.

  In the present embodiment, the jump-up jackpot game (the jackpot game based on the symbol C or c) is “first jackpot game”, and the 2R probability variable jackpot game (the jackpot game based on the symbol D or d) is “second jackpot game”. Become. In the jump-up jackpot game and the 2R probability variable jackpot game, the round game time is set with the same number of prize balls (15 balls in this embodiment) for one ball entering the big prize opening device 29. The value (number of winning prize balls) given to the player differs depending on the number of rounds.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  The variation pattern is stored in the variable display H2 and the first special symbol display H0 (or the second special symbol display H1) after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start. It is possible to specify the variation time and the contents of the effect until the symbol is confirmed and stopped on the 1 special figure display H0 (or the second special figure display H1). That is, by determining the variation pattern, the first variation game (or the second variation game) played on the variable display H2 and the first special figure display H0 (or the second special figure display H1). A production mode is determined.

  Based on the variation pattern, the first special symbol display device H0 (or the second special graphic display device H1) stops the variation of the symbol when the variation time determined in the variation pattern elapses after the variation of the special symbol starts. Then, the first variation game (or the second variation game) in which the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, or the lost symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed is executed. On the other hand, various game effects are performed with the effect content specified by the variation pattern, and the variation of the symbol stops when the variation time specified in the variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol combination corresponding to the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. One fluctuation game (or second fluctuation game) is executed.

  Among the plurality of types of variation patterns in the present embodiment, there is a variation pattern for a big hit effect selected when a 7R special probability variable big hit game, a 7R normal probability variable big hit game, or a 7R non-probable variable big hit game is determined. Among the plurality of types of variation patterns, there are variation patterns for concealment effects that are selected when a jump-up jackpot game, a 2R probability variation jackpot game, or a jackpot game is determined. Further, among the plurality of types of variation patterns, there is a variation pattern for a loss effect selected when the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery are not won. In addition, the variation pattern for the offense effect includes, as the contents of the first variation game and the second variation game, the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect including the reach effect and the normal pattern for the outlier not including the reach effect. There are fluctuation patterns. Note that there are multiple types of variation patterns for the big hit effect, the concealment effect, the outreach reach production, and the outlier normal production. For example, when a 7R special probability variable big hit game is determined, a plurality of types of big hit effects A variation pattern for a big hit effect is determined from among the variation patterns for use. In addition, the variation patterns for a plurality of types of outlier normal effects in the present embodiment include a variation pattern for outlier normal effects having a variation time of 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 7 seconds, 12 seconds, 15 seconds, and 24 seconds.

  In this embodiment, when the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probable variable big hit game are determined, the same variation pattern for the big hit effect is determined. Therefore, it is not possible to specify which of the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probable variable big hit game is given from the contents of the first variable game and the second variable game. It has become. In the present embodiment, when the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R probability variable jackpot game, and the jackpot game are determined, the same variation pattern for the secret effect is determined. Therefore, it is impossible to recognize which of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game is given from the contents of the effects of the first variable game and the second variable game.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination. The hit determination random number is determined by the main CPU 30a at predetermined intervals (every 4 ms) so as to be able to take numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 1987 different integers from 0 to 1986). The value is updated by adding 1 to the value. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (49 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination in the normal state. More than the number of values (5 in this embodiment) is set. The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The jackpot determination value is also commonly used in the first variable game and the second variable game. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the small hit is, and is determined from numerical values (all 1987 integers from 0 to 1986) that the random number for hit determination can take. The small hit determination value is referred to only in the first variation game and is set to a predetermined number (14 in this embodiment). Note that the random number for hit determination is used as it is in the big hit determination. Further, the number of small hit determination values does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number (one in this embodiment) of this special figure distribution random number, and the main CPU 30a obtains the big hit when it is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the special figure distribution random number. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated values in the RAM 30c as special figure distribution random number values, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number values by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random number values. It is supposed to be. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  The jackpot symbol determined depending on which symbol variation game of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to E (in the case of the second variation game, the symbols a to e It is different in which group)

  Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to E. For this reason, when it is a big hit in the first variable game, a symbol classified as the symbol A as a big hit symbol is displayed with a probability of 1/100. In the case of a big hit in the first variable game, symbols classified as symbol B are displayed with a probability of 14/100, and symbols classified as symbol C are displayed with a probability of 1/100. In the case of a big hit in the first variable game, symbols classified as symbol D are displayed with a probability of 74/100, and symbols classified as symbol E are displayed with a probability of 10/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the four types of small hit symbols, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and small hit determination) When the hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to e. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variation game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a big hit symbol is displayed with a probability of 70/100, and a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 10/100. The In the case of a big win in the second variable game, symbols classified as symbol c are displayed with a probability of 2/100, and symbols classified as symbol d are displayed with a probability of 8/100. In the case of a big hit in the second variable game, symbols classified as symbol e are displayed with a probability of 10/100. On the other hand, at the time of determination of a loss (when the big hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of loss symbol.

  The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random number values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit. In addition, the RAM 30c stores a random number for assigning a common figure used for determining a type of a common figure that will be a winning symbol when the ordinary game is won.

  The ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the normal hit, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the normal hit determination random number (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250). Note that the number of normal hit determination values varies depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the number of normal hit determination values when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned (this embodiment) In this case, 250 is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (5 in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a random number for normal hit determination used at the time of normal hit determination. In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination random number is acquired when the game ball passes through the operating gate 23.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. When the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5.

  If the determination result of step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the first special figure start reserved memory number (+1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the value of the random number in the first start hold memory. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the second special figure start reserved memory number (+1), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and starts the second special figure start. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the reserved storage number is set (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the big hit game (or the small hit game) is being executed (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than “0”. Determination is made (step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). If the determination result in step S15 is negative (if the first special figure start hold storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output (step S15). S16). If this determination result is negative (when no demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure holding memory number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first variable game to the special symbol fluctuation processing flag to be stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. A value “0” indicating execution is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the number of the first special symbol reserved memory number (step S19), and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the first special figure start reserved memory number. The hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit design distribution random number are acquired (step S20).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 5/1987. The probability that the result is affirmative (hit probability) is 48/1987.

  When the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the jackpot symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S23). .

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the specified jackpot game (step S24). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, B, and E, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols C and D, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the secret effect.

  The main CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing (step S25). ). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates the variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S26).

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small symbol symbols (symbol F) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small symbol symbol random number (symbol F). Step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for concealment effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the central CPU 31a of the central control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Various processes relating to the variable game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S30). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c during the process of step S30 matches the reach determination value. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery to determine whether or not to perform reach production, and is determined from the possible values for reach determination random numbers (a total of 241 types of integers from 0 to 240). Yes. Further, the reach determination value is different depending on the gaming state, the first special figure holding memory number, and the special symbol variation processing flag value.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is given, the first special figure hold memory When the number is “0” or “1”, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 35/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is given, the main CPU 30a has the first special figure reservation storage number “2”. In this case, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 20/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is given, the main CPU 30a has the first special figure reservation storage number “3”. In this case, the reach determination is positively determined with a probability of 3/241. Thus, as the number of the first special figure hold memory number increases, that is, as the number of the first variable game being held increases, the digestion of the held first change game can be accelerated. On the other hand, the smaller the number of the first special figure hold memory number, that is, the fewer the first variation game held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the probability variation state is given, and the first special figure is given. When the number of reserved memories is “0” or “1”, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 15/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, the main CPU 30a has the first special figure hold storage number “ If “2”, the reach determination is affirmative with a probability of 7/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, the main CPU 30a has the first special figure hold storage number “ If it is “3”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 2/241. Thus, as the number of the first special figure hold memory number increases, that is, as the number of the first variable game being held increases, the digestion of the held first change game can be accelerated. On the other hand, the smaller the number of the first special figure hold memory number, that is, the fewer the first variation game held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted. On the other hand, when the probability variation state is assigned, the probability that the reach determination is affirmed is lower than when the probability variation state is not imparted. As described above, when the probability variation state is given, it is difficult to execute the reach effect that is finally lost.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a regardless of whether or not the probability variation state. The affirmative determination of the reach determination with a probability of 5/241 regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of the first special figure reservation storage number.

  If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S31). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Perform various processes related to the game. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S30 is negative (when the reach is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display H0 (step S33). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the off-normal effect (step S34). At this time, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved storage numbers and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal performance. It has become.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, The fluctuation pattern for the normal effect with a fluctuation time of 12 seconds or the fluctuation pattern for the normal effect with a fluctuation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the first special figure reservation storage number is “2”. The fluctuation pattern for the normal performance is determined with a fluctuation time of 7 seconds. In addition, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the number of first special figure hold storage is “3”, the main CPU 30a generates a variation pattern for normal production with a variation time of 4 seconds. decide. In this way, the more the first variation game that is held, the shorter the variation time, and the variation pattern for normal production is determined. As described above, the more first variation games that are held, the faster the first variation game that is held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the first variation game that is held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the variation time to earn time for the game ball to win and to prevent the first variation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation time pattern of 7 seconds with a variation time of 15 seconds. The variation pattern for the outlier normal effect is determined from the variation pattern for the outlier normal effect and the variation pattern for the outlier normal effect of 3 seconds. The main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern with a variation time of 15 seconds with a high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. ing. As a result, when a ball-entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is lengthened and the time for winning the game ball at the second start winning opening 27 is earned. Yes.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Perform various processes related to the game. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. In addition to the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the first special indicator H0 so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the specified variation pattern. Control the content. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. “1” indicating that the second variable game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S35). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the number of the second special figure start hold memory number (step S36), and is associated with the second special figure start hold memory number in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number stored in are acquired (step S37). In the present embodiment, since the small hitting lottery is not performed in the second variation game, the value of the small hitting design random number is not acquired in step S37.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the main CPU 30 a determines whether or not the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30 b and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, in the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 5/1987, and when the probability change state (when the probability is high). Is 49/1987.

  When the determination result of step S38 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S39). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the big hit symbols based on the special diagram based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number (step S40). .

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, b, and e, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols c and d, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the secret effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing (step S42). ). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates the variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the big hit determination result in step S38 is negative (not a big hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect (step S43). Note that the reach determination value varies depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 9B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and both the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are given, the main CPU 30a has a probability of 2/241. Affirmative determination of reach determination. Further, the main CPU 30a has a special symbol variation processing flag of “0” when the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, and when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned but the probability variation state is not assigned. Similarly to the case, the reach determination is affirmed with the probability shown in FIG.

  If the determination result in step S43 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S44). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect (step S45). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Perform various processes related to the game. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S43 is negative (when the reach is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S46). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the off-normal effect (step S47). At this time, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved storage numbers and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal performance. It has become.

  Specifically, if the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, and the second special diagram hold storage number is “0” “1”, the variation A variation pattern for a normal effect with a time difference of 12 seconds or a variation pattern for a normal effect with a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special figure reservation storage number is “2”. The fluctuation pattern for the normal performance is determined with a fluctuation time of 7 seconds. In addition, when the value of the special symbol fluctuation processing flag is “1” and the second special figure reservation storage number is “3”, the main CPU 30a displays the fluctuation pattern for the normal effect with a fluctuation time of 4 seconds. decide. In this way, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of second variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the second variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of second special figure reservation storage numbers is small, it is possible to increase the fluctuation time and earn time for the game ball to win, so that the symbol fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern of 15 seconds, a variation pattern of 7 seconds, a variation of 3 seconds. One of the patterns is determined to be a variation pattern for normal production. When the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a high probability of creating a variation pattern for normal production with a variation time of 3 seconds. It comes to choose. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is shortened and the second variation game that is put on hold is executed as soon as possible. Yes.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Perform various processes related to the game. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the improved winning rate is given, and as a result, the improved winning rate is given. In the probability variation state or the short time state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously. When the second variable game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the seven round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. That is, the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different, and if the second variable game is a big hit, a seven-round big hit game is awarded with a higher probability than a two-round big hit game is awarded. For this reason, the 7-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than the 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game contents advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the seven round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the second variation game is easily executed continuously, and when the second variation game is a big hit, the first variation Compared to the game, there is a higher probability that a 7-round jackpot game will be awarded. From this, when the big hits continue in the probability variation state or the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 7 rounds is high.

  Further, the main CPU 30a performs the small hit determination when the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start holding ball (in the case of the first variable game). On the other hand, the main CPU 30a does not perform the small hit determination when performing the determination based on the random number for determining the hit stored as the second start holding ball (in the case of the second variable game). For this reason, in the situation where the entrance rate improvement state is given and the second change game is likely to be performed, the first change game is rarely performed, and as a result, the entrance rate improvement state is assigned. When it is, the possibility that a small hit game is given becomes extremely low. For this reason, the possibility that a small hit game in which no profit can be expected for the player is reduced. In addition, after the end of the symbol variation game, when the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for 0.6 seconds, the player is given a jump-up jackpot game in the second variation game rather than the first variation game. It can be expected that it was.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output to the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control contents of the 7R special probability variable big hit game, 7R normal probability variable big hit game, jump-up big hit game, 2R probability variable big hit game, and 7R non-probable big hit game executed by the main CPU 30a will be described for each big hit game.

First, the control when the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probability variable big hit game are given will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (9 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the third to seventh round games. When the round game of the seventh round ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (10.6 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when the 7R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to “1” and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set the operation flag to “1”. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” (10000 times in the present embodiment) to the number of times of probability variation state giving the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the probability variation state is imparted. Further, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” (10000 times in the present embodiment) to the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given. The number of times of entering the entrance rate improvement state and the number of times the probability variation state is imparted are decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. When the value becomes zero, the probability variation flag and the operation flag are cleared ("0" is set) ) In addition, each flag, the probability variation state giving frequency, and the operation frequency are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Further, each flag, the probability variation state grant count and the actuation count are cleared ("0" is set) even when a big hit game is awarded. In this embodiment, when the probability variation state is applied to 10,000 times, this is equivalent to the probability variation state being substantially imparted until the next big hit occurs. Further, even when the number of actuations is set to 10,000 times, it is equivalent to providing the improved entrance rate until the next big hit occurs.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”. Further, the main CPU 30a controls the 7R display lamp L1, which is arranged below the first special figure display H0 during the 7R special probability variable big hit game, to indicate that the seventh round big hit game is given ( (Shown in FIG. 2). Further, the main CPU 30a sends a jackpot gaming state signal for notifying that a jackpot game has been given via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 7R special probability variable jackpot game to the end of the ending effect. Output to an external device.

  In addition, when the 7R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted and also indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set “1” in the flag. Further, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” to the probability variation state grant count. Further, the main CPU 30a determines that the probability variation state is not given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the 7R normal probability variation big hit game (when the probability variation flag is set to “0”), or the entrance rate improvement state and When the probability variation state is given (when “1” is set in the probability variation flag and the operation flag), the number of operations is set to four. On the other hand, when the probability variation state is given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the 7R normal probability variation big hit game, the main CPU 30a determines that the number of operations is “until next time” when the entry rate improvement state is not granted. Set the value indicating. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  In addition, during the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 and controls to turn on the 7R display lamp L1 indicating that the seventh round big hit game is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sends a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game is given through the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 7R normal probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. Output to an external device.

  In addition, when the 7R non-probability change big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a sets “0” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given, and also indicates that the entry rate improvement state is given. Set “1” in the flag. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 0 as the number of times the probability variation state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sets the number of operations to 4 times. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 during the 7R non-probable big hit game, and controls to turn on the 7R display lamp L1 indicating that the seventh round big hit game is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sends a jackpot game state signal for notifying that a jackpot game is given via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 7R non-probable big hit game to the end of the ending effect, such as the hall computer HC. Output to an external device.

Next, control when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.04 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T4 (max 29. 1 second) is started. In this embodiment, the main CPU 30a controls the first round of the jump-up jackpot game with game contents different from the first round of the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probability variable big hit game. Execute.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the main CPU 30a uses the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 on the condition that no upper limit number of game balls have entered. , Open up to 3 times. The numbers “1” to “3” in FIG. 10A indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal to open the large winning opening door 28 of the first large winning opening apparatus 29, and also wins a grand prize to the overall control board 31. An opening command for instructing the number of times of opening of the special winning opening door 28 of the mouth device 29 is output. At the time of the first opening, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command for instructing the number of opening “1 (first)”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 of the special prize opening device 29 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, 1 is passed. A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of the big winning opening door 28 of the second big winning opening apparatus 29. At the same time, the main CPU 30 a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of times of closing of the special prize opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. At the first closing time, the main CPU 30a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of closing times “1 (first time)”.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the second opening of the big prize opening door 28, and the number of opening of the big winning opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “2 (second)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the second big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the second prize opening door 28 is closed (second closing).

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (second closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INb (2.1 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the second opening and the third opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INb has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the third large winning opening door 28 is opened, and the number of times the large winning opening door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “3 (first time)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (third opening), and if the opening time T2 (max 23.8 seconds) has elapsed, the third big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the third prize winning door 28 is closed (third closing).

  Note that the main CPU 30a ends the round game when the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize winning door 28 during the round game reaches the upper limit number of balls (specified number). For this reason, even in the jump-up jackpot game, when a maximum number of game balls are entered during the first round game, the main CPU 30a ends the round game at that time. For example, at the time of the third release, if a maximum number of game balls are entered before the opening time T2 has elapsed, the round game is terminated at that time.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that ended the round game of the first round performs control so that each round game from the second round is executed and then the ending is executed in the same manner as the 7R special probability variable big hit game. That is, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INc (2) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round in order to start the round game of the second round. .0 seconds), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the second round game when the end condition (elapse of the round game time T3 (25 seconds) or the upper limit number of balls entered) is satisfied in the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the third to seventh round games. When the round game of the seventh round is finished, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the interval time INd (1.996 seconds) has elapsed, and starts measuring the ending time EDa (10.6 seconds).

  After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game and sets “1” to the probability variation flag and the operation flag. Further, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” to the probability variation state imparting count and the actuation count. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”. Further, the main CPU 30a controls to light the 7R display lamp L1 during the jump-up jackpot game. Further, the main CPU 30a, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the jump-up jackpot game, the maximum number of rounds of the two-round jackpot game (2 times), the winning prize door 28 The jackpot gaming state signal is output to the external device via the external terminal board 40 after the game is released until the end of the ending effect. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a has an external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the jump-up jackpot game to the end of the ending effect when the state of increasing the winning rate is given at the start of the symbol variation game won for the jump-up jackpot game. The big hit gaming state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC via the.

Next, control when a 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.04 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T11 (max 0. 6 seconds). The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. The main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (first opening), and if the round gaming time T11 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the first round game A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time INc has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and the round game time T11 shown in FIG. 10B. The measurement of (max 0.6 seconds) is started. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time T11 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the round game of the second round A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the round game of the second round ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the interval time INd (1.996 seconds) has elapsed, and starts measuring the ending time EDb (5.164 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”. At this time, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag when the 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded. The main CPU 30a determines that the next time the probability variation state is applied and the number of operation are set to “next time” when either the entry rate improvement state or the probability variation state is given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the 2R probability variation big hit game. A value indicating “to” is set and “1” is set to the operation flag. On the other hand, if neither the entry rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the 2R probability variation big hit game, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” as the probability variation state provision number. On the other hand, the operation count is set to 0 and the operation flag is set to “0”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a controls to turn on the 2R display lamp L2 (shown in FIG. 2) during the 2R probability variation big hit game. The main CPU 30a does not output a big hit game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC if neither the entry rate improvement state nor the probability change state is given when the 2R probability change big hit game is won. It has become. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a ends the ending effect from the start of the opening effect of the 2R probability variable big hit game if either the entrance rate improvement state or the probability variable state is given when the 2R probability variable big hit game is won. Until then, a big hit gaming state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 40.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control board 31 (the general CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time T21 (max 3.2 seconds) shown in FIG. ) Measurement starts. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10C, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize winning door 28 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. . The numbers “1” and “2” in FIG. 10C indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the first big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the second big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INd (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (5.212 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0]. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value). Further, when a small hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a does not output a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game has been awarded via the external terminal board 40 to an external device such as the hall computer HC.

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, in the first round of the jump-up big hit game, the opening mode of the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game and the big prize opening door 28 are the same. An aspect state is created. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second time. Opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) = 3.2 (seconds), the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, in the 2R probability variation big hit game, the first round game time T11 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) + the second round game time T11. Multiplying (0.6 seconds) = 3.2 (seconds), the grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T22 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T22 (0.6 seconds) ) = Round game time T21 (3.2 seconds) is multiplied, and the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. That is, the time from the start of the first opening of the first prize opening door 28 of the first round in the jump-up jackpot game to the end of the second opening, the 2R probability variable jackpot game, and the prize winning in the jackpot game The time from the first opening of the door 28 to the end of the second opening is set to “3.2 (seconds)”. In other words, in the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R probability variable jackpot game, and the jackpot game, the prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening manner for “3.2 (seconds)”.

  From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the open state of the big prize opening door 28 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between 2R probability variation big hit games and small hit games. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jump-up jackpot game is also distinguished from the 2R probability variable jackpot game and the jackpot game after the start of the first round until the third release. Not attached. As a result, even if the game winning door 28 is opened twice in a short time (0.6 seconds), the player can determine whether the game is a jump-up jackpot game or a 2R probability variable jackpot game. Or it cannot be distinguished whether it is a small hit game.

  In addition, when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded when the winning rate improvement state is not given, after the second opening of the first round big winning door 28 in the jump-up jackpot game ends. The jackpot gaming state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC. Further, when the 2R probability variation big hit game is given when neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability change state is given, the big hit game state signal is not output to an external device such as the hall computer HC. When a small hit game is awarded, the big hit game state signal is not output to an external device such as the hall computer HC.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when neither the winning rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is given when the big hit game or the small hit game is given, the second big winning door 28 is provided. The jackpot gaming state signal is not output until the opening of the game is completed. Therefore, it cannot be distinguished from the output mode of the big hit game state signal which of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game is given.

  In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is given when the jump-up jackpot game or the 2R probability variable jackpot game is given, the jackpot game state signal is transmitted from the start of the opening effect of the jackpot game to an external device such as the hall computer HC. Output to. In other words, when the entry rate improvement state is given when the big hit game is given, it is not possible to distinguish between the jump-up big hit game and the 2R big hit game from the information of the external device. Therefore, when the winning rate improvement state is given, it is possible to recognize whether the game is a small hit game or a big hit game from the output mode of the big hit game state signal, and the 2R probability change from the open mode of the big winning door 28. Whether the game is a jackpot game or a jump-up jackpot game can be recognized. Therefore, when the winning rate improving state is given, attention can be paid to the output mode of the big hit gaming state signal and the open mode of the big winning door 28.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the operation gate 23 (step S61). That is, in step S61, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a fourth detection signal output when the gate sensor SE4 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S61 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process. If the determination result of step S61 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of usual charts start pending storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit of 4 (step S62). If the determination result of step S62 is negative (the number of ordinary charts start hold storage = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

  If the determination result in step S62 is affirmative (the number of reserved general-purpose drawings on hold <4), the main CPU 30a increments the number of reserved general-purpose charts on hold by 1 (1), and rewrites the number of reserved general-purpose charts on-hold (step S63). . Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for ordinary hit determination and the value of the random number for normal map allocation from the RAM 30c, and obtains the value in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number of reserved memory for general start. (Step S64). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main CPU 30a is configured to execute a normal symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal map is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the normal hit game is being played (step S71). If the determination result in step S71 is affirmative (when the normal game is being played or the normal hit game is being played), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S71 is negative (when the normal game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a reads the normal start reservation memory number (step S72), and the normal start reservation memory number. Is greater than “0” (step S73).

  When the determination result of step S73 is negative (the number of ordinary charts start hold storage = 0), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S73 is affirmative (the number of reserved general-purpose start hold> 0), the main CPU 30a subtracts “-1” (−1) the number of normal-number start reserved storage (step S74). Then, the main CPU 30a acquires the value of the random number for normal hit determination stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with the usual figure start reserved memory number (step S75).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination (step S76). In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given. In the normal state (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 5/251, and the entrance rate improvement state is When given, the probability that the result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 250/251.

  When the determination result of step S76 is affirmative (in the case of normal hit), the main CPU 30a determines the normal symbol hit symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display H10 (step S77). On the other hand, when the determination result of step S76 is negative (in the case of a loss), the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol displayed as a fixed stop on the normal symbol display H10, and the normal symbol off symbol (step S78). .

  After that, the main CPU 30a that has determined the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the ordinary game (step S79). Specifically, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so that the normal symbol starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so as to display the determined final stop symbol.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the normal hit, the main CPU 30a executes control related to the normal hit game after the usual game ends. The main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 three times when the usual game is finished, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and opens until 1480 ms elapses after opening each time. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state.

  On the other hand, when the usual game is finished, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once and maintains the open state until 300 ms elapses after the open game is not given. It controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2.

  Note that the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since the main CPU 30a opened. Similarly, even if the main CPU 30a has not been opened a predetermined number of times, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a has a jackpot determining means, a jackpot game determining means, a jackpot game granting means, a probability variation determining means, a probability variation giving means, a winning rate improving state determining means, a winning rate improving state giving means, a random number. It functions as an acquisition means, a small hit determination means, a small hit game giving means, an external information output means, and a release control means. In the present embodiment, the RAM 30c functions as a holding storage unit.

Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described.
When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing accordingly. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Similarly, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the general CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the decorative symbol to be displayed is determined.

  More specifically, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 7R special probability variable jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of the ornament symbols from the jackpot symbol combinations. In the present embodiment, the winning combination is determined from [111] [333] [555] [777].

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 7R normal probability variable big hit game and the 7R non-probable variable big hit game, the general CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols as a predetermined jackpot among the jackpot symbol combinations. Determined from among the symbol combinations. In the present embodiment, [000] [222] [444] [666] is determined as a predetermined jackpot symbol combination. In other words, when the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is [000] [222] [444] [666], it is specified which jackpot game is given out of the 7R normal probability variable big hit game and 7R non-probable big hit game from the symbol combination I can't do it.

  When the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the jump-up jackpot game and the 2R probability variation jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols from the symbol combinations suggested by the probability change. In this embodiment, it is determined from among [010] [121] [232] [343] [454] [565] [676] [707] as a symbol combination of probability variation suggestion. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination indicating a probability change suggestion as in the case of the jump-up big hit game and the 2R probability variable big hit game. That is, in the case where the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is a symbol combination that suggests a probability change, it is determined from the symbol combination which one of the big hit games or the small hit games of jump-up big hit games, 2R probability variable big hit games, and small hit games has been given. It cannot be specified.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination for the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and the variation pattern for the off-normal effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the off symbol combination. Then, the overall CPU 31 a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design of each column to the display control board 32. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol combination game. Control the content. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the inputted decoration design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the opening effect. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute each round effect. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the ending effect.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When a 2R probability variable big hit game is awarded, if the increased entry rate state is given after the big hit game ends, a big hit game state signal is output to the outside. On the other hand, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the 2R probability variable big hit game ends, the big hit game state signal is not output to the outside. That is, at the time when it is determined that 2R probability variable big hit game is given, if either the entry rate improvement state or the probability change state is given, a big hit game state signal is output to the outside at the time of big hit game start Is done. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 2R probability change big hit game is given, if neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability change state is given, the big hit game state signal is not output to the outside.

  Also, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, first, after opening and closing the big prize opening device 29 (big prize opening door 28) in the same opening manner as the 2R probability variable big hit game, the game of the specified number of balls entered The ball is released only for a time during which the ball can enter the grand prize opening device 29. When a jump-up jackpot game is awarded, when the entry rate improvement state is given when it is determined to be awarded, a jackpot game state signal is output to the outside at the start of the jackpot game. On the other hand, when it is determined that the jump-up jackpot game is given, when the winning rate improvement state is not given, from the third opening of the jackpot door 28 to the end of the jackpot game in the first round, A big hit gaming state signal is output to the outside. That is, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, after opening and closing the grand prize opening door 28 in the same opening manner as the 2R probability variable big hit game, the predetermined number of game balls are entered into the big prize opening device 29. The jackpot game state signal is output to the outside from the time when the jackpot door 28 is opened for the possible time to the end of the jackpot game.

  As described above, when it is determined that a big hit is made, the output mode of the big hit game state signal when the 2R probability variable big hit game is given differs according to the application rate of the entrance rate improvement state and the probability change state, and jumps accordingly. The output mode of the jackpot game state signal when the up jackpot game is given was changed. Thus, regardless of the manner in which the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning, the jump-up jackpot game and 2R are also determined from the opening mode of the first jackpot door 28 and the output mode of the jackpot game state signal output to the outside. It is impossible to recognize which of the probable big hit games has been awarded.

  That is, since it takes time to recognize which jackpot game is awarded after the jackpot game is awarded, even when the 2R probability variable jackpot game is awarded, until the 2R probability variable jackpot game is completed. It can be expected that a jump-up jackpot game has been awarded.

  (2) Since the probability variation state is given after the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game, the value of the hit game is made higher than that of the small hit game. Further, when the winning rate improvement state is given, it is easy to win the second start winning opening 27, so the second variable game is likely to be executed. Further, in the second variable game, since it is not determined whether or not a small hit game is to be granted, in the second variable game, no small win is won. That is, when the entrance rate improving state is given, the small hit game is hardly given. As a result, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is more difficult to recognize which of the small hit game and the jump up big hit game is given, and the jump up big hit game and the 2R probability variable big hit game. The number of times of expecting that a jump-up jackpot game has been granted is increased by making it difficult to recognize which one has been granted. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, it can be expected which game will be given out of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R probability change big hit game, or the small hit game, so that the 2R probability change Even if you win a big hit game, you can make it seem better than a small hit game. Therefore, even when a 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded, the interest in the game can be improved.

  In addition, when the winning rate improvement state is given, since the big hit gaming state signal is first output to the outside, whether the big hit gaming state signal is output from the output mode of the big hit gaming state signal at the start of the winning game. It is possible to recognize whether the game is a small hit game. In addition, it is possible to recognize whether the 2R probability variable big hit game or the jump-up big hit game is given among the big hit games based on whether or not the third winning opening door 28 is opened. That is, when the winning rate improvement state is given, attention can be paid to the output mode of the big hit gaming state signal and the open mode of the big winning opening door 28. In addition, even when the entrance rate improvement state is given, if it is not known whether the probability variation state is imparted, if the 2R probability variation big hit game is given instead of the small hit game, the player's interest is enhanced. Can be improved. In other words, even when the entry rate improvement state is given, it can be noted whether the game is a small hit game or a 2R probability variation game.

  (3) In the jump-up jackpot game, a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27, rather than the first variable game executed when the game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25. The percentage of the second variable game that is executed when this happens is higher. By doing in this way, it can be made to expect having won the jump up jackpot game when the entrance rate improvement state is provided compared with the case where the entrance rate improvement state is not provided. Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, attention can be paid to whether or not the jump-up jackpot game is won as compared to the case where the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

  (4) The jump-up jackpot game is the jackpot game with the lowest percentage of the multiple types of jackpot games. In this way, when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded, the player can be surprised.

  (5) The opening time in one round during 2R probability variation big hit game is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the upper limit number of game balls. In this way, it is possible to make a difference in the value between the jump-up jackpot game and the 2R probability variable jackpot game.

  (6) The output mode of the big hit game state signal when the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probable big hit game are made the same. By doing in this way, it was made impossible to recognize which jackpot game was given from the output mode of the jackpot game state signal. In other words, it can be determined from the output mode of the big hit game state signal whether or not the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the specified number of rounds of the round game, the time for one opening / closing operation of the special winning opening device 29, and the round game time may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the overall control board 31 is omitted, and the main control board 30 takes over the functions of the overall control board 31 and directly controls display of commands related to jackpot games such as an open command and a close command from the main control board 30. You may make it output to the board | substrate 32, the lamp control board 33, and the audio | voice control board 34. FIG.

  In the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the specified number of rounds of the big hit game and the upper limit number of entering balls may be changed. Further, the number of opening / closing operations of the special prize opening device 29 may be changed. For example, the special winning opening device 29 may be opened and closed three times during one round game.

  In the above embodiment, the variable display H2 is a liquid crystal display, but it may be a dot matrix display or a 7-segment LED display (effect display device), or a mechanical display such as a drum display. Also good.

-Of the plurality of types of jackpot games of the above embodiment, the probability that each jackpot game is determined may be changed.
In the above embodiment, the content of the effect during the hit game may be the same for the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. Further, it is possible to make the same contents as the effects during the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game until the third big winning door 28 is opened at least in the first round of the jump up big hit game. By doing in this way, it is possible to make it impossible to recognize which one of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game is given from the contents of the effect during the hit game.

  In the above embodiment, the output mode of the big hit game state signal when the 7R special probability variable big hit game, the 7R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 7R non-probable big hit game are given is the same, but it may not be the same.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) The probability that the jackpot game determination means determines to give the first jackpot game when the random number for hit determination stored as the first start hold matches the jackpot determination value is if the random number for the hit judging stored as second start pending matches the jackpot determining value you being lower than the probability of deciding to grant the first jackpot gaming.

(B) The probability that the jackpot game determination means determines to give the second jackpot game when the random number for hit determination stored as the first start hold matches the jackpot determination value is if the random number for the hit judging stored as second start pending matches the jackpot determining value you being greater than the probability of deciding to grant the second jackpot gaming.

(C) the jackpot gaming determining means among the plurality of types of jackpot gaming, characterized in that it is difficult to most determines the first jackpot gaming.
