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 final display result of the fixed stop is a jackpot display result. 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. And in today's pachinko machines, for example, the number of rounds such as 2 round jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as “2R jackpot game”) and 15 round jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as “15R jackpot game”). There are those that have multiple types of jackpot games with disparities.

  2R 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 acquired, and the probability fluctuation state (probability change) and the entrance rate improvement state after the big hit game ends It is configured to give (variable). On the other hand, in the 15R jackpot game, generally, the opening time of the big prize opening is set to a time that allows a predetermined number of game balls to be entered, and a large number of game balls are acquired for each round game. It is configured as follows. However, the difference between the 2R jackpot game and the 15R jackpot game is obvious at a glance, so that the player can easily recognize which jackpot game will be generated from the open mode of the jackpot. End up. In addition, since 2R jackpot games cannot acquire a large number of game balls, the player may feel that there is less profit compared to 15R jackpot games that can acquire a large number of game balls, which may impair the interest of the game. there were.

  Therefore, a gaming machine that has been concealed so that the player does not know whether a 15R jackpot game or 2R jackpot game is given 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 15R jackpot game is set in the same open mode as the round game in the 2R jackpot game. Thereby, even when the player wins the 2R jackpot game, it can be expected that the winning jackpot game may have won the 15R jackpot game.

  Among the game stores, there is a game store that notifies a player that a big hit game has been awarded by an external display device. In such a game store, a 15R big hit game with a large number of game balls that can be acquired by a player is notified, while a 2R big hit 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, it is possible to recognize from the notification mode of the external display device whether the 15R big hit game is given or the 2R big hit game is given. Therefore, even if the 15R jackpot game is won, after the big prize opening is opened in the 2R jackpot game open mode, the external display device notifies the player that the big hit game has been awarded. (See Patent Document 2). In addition, in such a gaming machine, even when the entry rate improvement state is given, the external display device notifies that the entry rate improvement state is given. There is also.

  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 liquid crystal display type display device or a variable display H2 as an effect execution means is disposed. 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 lottery results of a lottery lottery and a small lottery lottery from among a plurality of types of special drawings (61 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 61 types of special charts are 50 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize the jackpot, and 10 types of jackpot symbols (small hit display result) that can be used to recognize the jackpot. )) 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. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1, the variable symbol H2 also includes a symbol combination (eg, [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.

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 that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1439 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (33/1439 in the present 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 ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the ordinary game is the normal probability (this In the embodiment, there is a case in which the entrance rate improvement state that varies from 2/107) to a high probability (in this embodiment, 106/107) 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, when winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1800 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, 50 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.

In other words, the 15R non-probable change jackpot game and the 15R probability change secret jackpot game are visually the same.

  Note that the round game time (25 (seconds)) of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIG. 3, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 15R non-probable big hit game is “2.0 (seconds)” in rounds excluding the final round, and “1” in the final round. .996 (seconds) ".

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol i is displayed on the second special symbol display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”, and the probability change state after the jackpot game ends Is a 15-round jackpot game that does not grant (provides an uncertain change state). Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol i is displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is referred to as “15R shortened non-probable big hit game”. In the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the opening mode of the big prize opening device 29 in the round games of the 9th to 15th rounds is different from the opening mode of the 15R special probability variable big hit game. In addition, in the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “8 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the 15R shortened non-probable 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 the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, 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, and the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) is the upper limit. The number-of-entry rate improvement state is given as the number of times.

  In addition, in the 15R shortened uncertain large hit game, “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “14.6 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In the round game of the ninth round to the fifteenth round in the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the number of times the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is set to “1”, and the round game time is “0.2 (seconds)” is set. On the other hand, in the round game of the 1st to 8th rounds in the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the number of times of opening of the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to “1” respectively, and the round game “25 (seconds)” is set as the time.

  Accordingly, in the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the time from the opening of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening apparatus 29 in the ninth round to the closing of the big winning opening door 28 in the fifteenth round ("13. 4 (seconds) ”) is the same as the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 ends the seventh opening in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game. In addition, in the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the opening mode of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 of each round game is the same as the 15R shortened probable big hit game.

  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 15R shortened uncertain large hit game is “2.0 (seconds)” in rounds excluding the final round, and “ 1.996 (seconds) ".

  The small hit game given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol J is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 has the prescribed round number set to “1” and one round The upper limit number of games (count number) is set to “8 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 “0.05 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.06 (seconds)” as an opening mode of the big winning opening device 29 (big winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “1.5 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “1.62 (seconds)” composed of “0.06 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) +0.06 (seconds)”. Will be. Therefore, in the round game time of the small hit game, the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R probability variable big hit game (2R special probability variable big hit game and 2R normal probability variable big hit game). And the time until the grand prize opening device 29 is closed in the second round. Furthermore, the round game time of the small hit game is 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. .

  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, the opening time (0.12 (seconds)) of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 during the round game of the small hit game enters the big prize opening device 29 in one round game. The number of game balls entered is set to a time that does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. That is, in the round game of the small hit game, within the open time (0.12 (seconds)) of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 during the round game, “8 balls”, which is the upper limit number of entries. It is virtually impossible to launch and enter a game ball.

  In this embodiment, in the jump-up jackpot game and the 2R probability variable jackpot game, the number of award balls (12 balls in this embodiment) for one ball entering the jackpot device 29 is set to be equal to the round The value (number of winning prize balls) given to the player varies depending on the game time and the number of rounds.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. (Control command) is output. In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

  An external terminal board 40 as an external output device is attached to the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The external terminal board 40 is a hall computer HC (shown in FIG. 4) as an external device installed in a game room management room or the like for managing the operating state of each pachinko machine installed in the game hall, or a pachinko machine. It is a board connected to a notification device KH that displays various information such as the number of jackpots won in the gaming machine 10.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. Further, an external terminal board 40 is connected to the main control board 30, and a notification device KH and a hall computer HC are connected to the external terminal board 40. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  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. That is, it is possible to specify the effect content and effect time (change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change to when the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  Depending on the variation pattern, the variable display H2 and the first special figure display H0 (or the second special figure display H1) are started after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start. It is possible to specify the fluctuation 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, 15R special probability variation jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R shortened probability variation jackpot game, 15R probability variation secret jackpot game, 15R non-probability variation jackpot game, or 15R shortened non-probability variation jackpot game There is a variation pattern for the jackpot effect that is selected when is determined. In addition, among the various types of variation patterns, a jump-up big hit game, a 2R probability variable big hit game (2R special probability variable big hit game and 2R normal probability variable big hit game), or a secret effect selected when a small hit game is determined. There are fluctuation patterns for 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 a plurality of types of variation patterns for the jackpot effect, the concealment effect, the outlier reach effect, and the outlier normal effect. For example, when a 15R special probability variable hit game is determined, a plurality of types of the jackpot effect are determined. 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 the present embodiment, the same jackpot effect is obtained when a 15R special probability variable jackpot game, a step-up jackpot game, a 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, a 15R non-probable bonus game, or a 15R shortened non-probable jackpot game are determined. Determine the variation pattern for Therefore, from the contents of the first variation game and the second variation game, the 15R special probability variation jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R shortened probability variation jackpot game, the 15R probability variation concealment jackpot game, the 15R non-probability variation jackpot game, and the 15R shortening It is impossible to specify which of the non-probable big hit games has been awarded. 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 (all 1439 different integers from 0 to 1438). 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 (33 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination in the normal state. More than the number of values (4 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 that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination (all 1439 integers from 0 to 1438). The small hit determination value is referred to only in the first variation game, and is set to a predetermined number (9 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. 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. This special figure distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 50 integers from “0” to “49”) 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 by which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A, B, E, F, G, H (second variation game). In the case of (1), it is different in which group (of symbols a, c, d, i).

  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, B, E, F, G, and H. For this reason, when it is a big hit in the first variation game, the symbol classified as the big hit symbol A is displayed with a probability of 18/50. In the case of a big hit in the first variable game, symbols classified as symbol B are displayed with a probability of 3/50, and symbols classified as symbol E are displayed with a probability of 2/50. In the case of a big hit in the first variable game, symbols classified as symbol F are displayed with a probability of 2/50, and symbols classified as symbol G are displayed with a probability of 15/50. In the case of a big hit in the first variable game, symbols classified as symbol H are displayed with a probability of 10/50. 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 ten 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 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, c, d, and i. ing. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variation game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 29/50, and a symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 6/50. The In the case of a big hit in the second variable game, symbols classified as symbol d are displayed with a probability of 5/50, and symbols classified as symbol i are displayed with a probability of 10/50. 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.

  In the present embodiment, since the 2R probability variable big hit game is not won in the second variation game, especially when the entry rate improvement state in which the second variation game is easy to be executed is given, A big hit game that can be expected to be won is likely to be given. Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is possible to constantly acquire (increase) prize balls as compared to when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. In addition, since the 2R probability variation big hit game is not given in the second variation game in this embodiment, the small hit game for concealing whether or not the probability variation state is given is not given. Accordingly, in the second variable game in the present embodiment, a jump-up jackpot game is not given. This can prevent the player from feeling that a jackpot game that cannot be expected to win a prize ball may be awarded, especially when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the jackpot game is given. When winning, you can definitely expect to win a prize ball.

  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 is made, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for determining the normal hit (all 107 different integers from 0 to 106). 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) , 106) is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (two 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 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 first special figure start. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the reserved storage 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 from the first special symbol reserved memory number (-1) (step S19), and is stored 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 symbol 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 4/1439. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (hit probability) is 33/1439.

  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 identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S24). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, E, and H, 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 B, F, and G, 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 J) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small symbol symbol random number (the symbol J) ( 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 whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the value of the operation flag).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the first special figure reservation storage number is “0” or “1”, the main CPU 30 a performs 34/241. Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of. Similarly, the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 17/241 when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the first special figure reservation storage number is “2”. Similarly, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the reach determination with a probability of 4/241 when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the first special figure reservation storage number is “3”. Thus, the more the first special figure hold memory number is, that is, the more the first variable game being held is, the faster the digestion of the held first change game is made. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure hold memories, that is, the smaller the number of first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the first special figure holding memory 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, as shown in FIG. 9, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a probability of 20/241 regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of first special figure holding memory. Affirmative determination of reach determination.

  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 memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal performance. Yes.

  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. That is, when the first special figure holding memory 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 from the second special figure start reserved memory number (-1) (step S36), and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with the second special figure start reserved memory number. The values of the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number 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 4/1439, and when the probability change state (when the probability is high). Is 33/1439.

  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 corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, and i, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the big hit effect. In the present embodiment, since the final stop symbol determined in the second variation game is not classified into symbols b, f, and g, the variation pattern for the secret effect is not determined.

  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). The reach determination value is 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 memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal performance. Yes.

  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 second special figure holding memory number is small, it is possible to lengthen 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 case where it is played, the second variable game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation 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 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. In other words, when the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different and a big hit is made in the second variable game, the two round big hit game is not given, and only the 15 round big hit game is given. For this reason, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game content advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-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 variable game is likely to be continuously executed. When the big game is a big hit in the second variable game, the first The probability that a big hit game of 15 rounds is awarded is higher than that of the floating game. From this, when the big hit is continued when the entrance rate improvement state is given, there is a high probability that the prescribed number of round games will be 15 rounds.

  Further, the main CPU 30a makes a small hit determination when making a determination based on a random number for determining a hit stored as the first start hold (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 hold (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.

  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, 15R special probability variable jackpot game, jump up jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, 2R special probability variable jackpot game, 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R non-probable game executed by the main CPU 30a The control contents of the jackpot game and the 15R shortened uncertain variable jackpot game will be described for each jackpot game.

First, the control when a 15R special probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable hidden jackpot game, and a 15R non-probability variable jackpot game will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (7 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. In this embodiment, a round game in which the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened until the end condition is satisfied from the start to the end of the round game, such as a round game of one round of 15R special probability variable big hit game. Becomes "Full Open Round Game". Further, in the present embodiment, like the first round game in the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 enters the upper limit number of game balls in one round game. A round game that is released only for the time that it can be made into a ball is a “long 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 round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the lapse of the interval time (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (14.6 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed. That is, the round game of the 1st to 15th rounds in the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and the 15R non-probability bonus game is a “full open round game”, which is a “long round game”. .

  When the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is imparted. Set “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 the present embodiment, when 10000 is set as the probability variation state grant count, this is equivalent to the probability variation state being substantially imparted until the next big hit. Further, even when the number of actuations is set to 10,000 times, this 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”. In addition, during the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given ( (Shown in FIG. 2). Further, the main CPU 30a sends a 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 15R special probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect, such as the hall computer HC or the like. Output to external devices.

  In addition, when the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to 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 sets 50 as the number of operations. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a is arranged under the first special figure display H0 during the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given. Further, the main CPU 30a is configured to output a game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC through the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game to the end of the ending effect. .

  In addition, when the 15R non-probability change big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a sets “0” in the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given, and the action indicating that the entrance 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 50 as the number of operations. 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 15R non-probable big hit game, and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given. Further, the main CPU 30a is configured to output a game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC through the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 15R non-probable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. .

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 (0.02 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 the round game time T4 (max 28 seconds) shown in FIG. ) Measurement starts. In the present 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 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, and the 15R non-probability variable jackpot 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 (0.06 seconds) has elapsed, 1 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 (1.5 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 after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (0.06 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).

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. In the present embodiment, the first round game in the jump-up jackpot game is the “special round game”.

  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, like the 15R special probability variable big hit game. That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INb (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 round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. That is, the round game of the first round in the jump-up jackpot game is “special round game”, and the round games of the second round to the fifteenth round are “all open round games. Round games of rounds 15 to 15 are “long round games”.

  When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (14.6 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”. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a controls to light the 15R display lamp L1 during the jump-up jackpot game. Further, the main CPU 30a, after the winning game entrance door 28 is opened for the maximum number of rounds of the 2-round jackpot game, is not given at the start of the symbol variation game won in the jump-up jackpot game. A game state signal is output to the external device via the external terminal board 40 from (time point X in FIG. 10A) to 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 game state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC via the. Incidentally, the upper limit number of rounds of 2 round big hit games is “2 times” in this embodiment.

  Next, control when a step-up jackpot game is awarded will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11A, only the opening timing of the special winning opening door 28 in the ninth round is shown for convenience of drawing.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (7.0 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 INb (2.0b of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round) Second), 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 round games of the third to eighth rounds.

  Next, when the eighth round game is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the ninth round in order to start the ninth round game, and the round game time shown in FIG. 11 (a). Measurement of T5 (max 39 seconds) is started. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a executes control with game contents different from the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game and the ninth round of the other jackpot games.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the main CPU 30a is configured on the condition that the maximum winning opening door 28 of the large winning opening apparatus 29 is not filled with the upper limit number of game balls. , Open up to 8 times. The numbers “1” to “8” in FIG. 11A indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the ninth round game first outputs an opening signal to open the grand prize opening door 28 of the first grand prize opening device 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 T6 (0.2 seconds) has elapsed, 1 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 INe (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 INe elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28, and the number of times the big winning opening door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “2 (second)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T6 (0.2 seconds) elapses, the main big prize winning door 28 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). Then, the main CPU 30a opens and closes the grand prize winning door 28 in the same manner up to seven times.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (seventh closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INe (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the seventh opening and the eighth opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INe elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the eighth prize winning door 28 and the number of times the prize winning door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “8 (first)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (the eighth opening), and when the opening time T7 (max 23.6 seconds) has elapsed, the main prize winning door 28 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 of closing of the grand prize winning door 28 (eighth 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 step-up jackpot game, the main CPU 30a ends the round game at that time when the upper limit number of game balls are entered during the ninth round game. For example, at the time of the 8th release, if a maximum number of game balls are entered before the opening time T7 has elapsed, the round game is terminated at that time. In the present embodiment, the ninth round game in the step-up jackpot game is the “special round game”.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that ended the round game of the ninth round controls each round game from the 10th round to be executed, and then performs the ending, similarly to the 15R special probability variable big hit game. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INb (2) of the interval between rounds set between the ninth round and the tenth round in order to start the tenth round game. .0 seconds), a round command corresponding to the 10th round is output. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the round game of the tenth round when the end condition (elapse of round game time (25 seconds) or the maximum number of balls entered) is satisfied in the round game of the tenth round. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the 11th to 15th round games. That is, in the step-up jackpot game, the first to eighth rounds and the tenth to fifteenth round games are “all open round games”, and the ninth round game is “special round game”. In addition, round games from the first round to the 15th round in the step-up jackpot game are “long-time round games”.

  When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (14.6 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 15R display lamp L1 during the step-up jackpot game. Further, when the main CPU 30a wins the step-up jackpot game, the main CPU 30a sends the game state signal to the external device such as the hall computer HC from the start of the opening effect of the step-up jackpot game to the end of the ending effect. To output.

  Next, the control when a 15R shortened probability variation big hit game and a 15R shortened uncertain variable big hit game are given will be described. In addition, since the opening / closing mode of the big winning opening door 28 in the 15R shortened probability variation jackpot game and the 15R shortened non-probability variation jackpot game is the same, it will be described based on FIG. In FIG. 11B, only the opening timing of the grand prize winning door 28 after the ninth round is shown for convenience of drawing.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (7.0 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 INb (2.0b of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round) Second), 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 round games of the third to eighth rounds.

  Next, when the eighth round game is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the ninth round in order to start the ninth round game, and the round game time T8 (max 0.2 seconds). Starts measurement and outputs 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 ninth round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the ninth 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 ninth round game. In this embodiment, as in the ninth round game in the 15R shortened probability variation big hit game, the opening time of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 in one round game is set to the upper limit number of balls entered. A round game set at a time that cannot be satisfied is a “short-time round game”.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the ninth round, in order to start the round game of the tenth round, the interval time INb (2.0b between intervals of rounds set between the ninth round and the tenth round) Seconds), a round command corresponding to the 10th round is output. When the end condition is satisfied in the 10th round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the 10th round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the 11th to 15th round games. That is, the round game of the 1st to 8th rounds in the 15R shortened probability variation big hit game and the 15R shortened non-probability big hit game is the “all round round game” of the “long round game”, and the ninth round to the 15th round. The round game is "short round game.

  When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (14.6 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  At the same time, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is to be imparted when the 15R shortened probability variation big hit game has been imparted, and imparts the improved entrance rate state. “1” is set in the operation flag indicating that the operation is to be performed. In addition, when the 15R shortened probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets a value indicating “until next time” to the probability variation state provision frequency and the operation frequency. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  When the 15R shortened non-probability big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a sets the probability change flag to “0” (does not set “1”) and gives the improved entrance rate improvement state. “1” is set to the operation flag shown. Further, the main CPU 30a sets the number of operations to 50 when the 15R shortened uncertain change big hit game is given. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to “0”.

  Further, the main CPU 30a controls to light the 15R display lamp L1 during the 15R shortened probability variable big hit game and during the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game. Also, the main CPU 30a sends the game state signal to an external device such as a hall computer HC from the start of the opening effect of the 15R shortened probability variation big hit game and the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. It is designed to output.

  Next, the control when the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game are given will be described. In addition, since the opening / closing mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game is the same, it will be described collectively with reference to FIG.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.02 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. (06 seconds) is started. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, 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 (0.06 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 INd (1.5 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time INd 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 0.06 seconds) is started. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. The main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and if the round gaming time T11 (0.06 seconds) has elapsed, the second round game A closing signal is output to finish the operation. That is, all round games in the first to second rounds in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game are “short-time round games”.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the round game of the second round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INd (1.5 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.05 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 that time, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag when the 2R probability variation big hit game (2R special probability variation big hit game and 2R normal probability variation big hit game) is awarded. Then, a value indicating “until next time” is set as the probability variation state grant count.

Further, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag and sets a value indicating “until next time” to the operation count.
Further, when the main CPU 30a grants the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, it is given either one of the entrance rate improvement state or the probability change state at the start of the symbol variation game won for the 2R normal probability variable big hit game. In this case, a value indicating “until next time” is set in the probability variation state imparting count and the actuation count, and “1” is set in the actuation 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 normal probability variation big hit game, the main CPU 30a sets the 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. Further, the main CPU 30a is configured not to output a game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC when the ball entering rate improvement state is not given after the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game. Specifically, when neither the probability variation state nor the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is won, the main CPU 30a outputs a game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC. do not do.

  On the other hand, when the entrance rate improvement state is given after the 2R probability variable big hit game ends, the main CPU 30a plays the game state via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 2R probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. The signal is output to an external device such as a hall computer HC. Specifically, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, or when the 2R normal probability variable big hit game is won when either the probability changed state or the entrance rate improved state is awarded, the main CPU 30a A game state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 40 from the start to the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game.

  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 1.62 seconds shown in FIG. 10C). ) 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 opening the first prize opening door 28 (first opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.06 seconds) has elapsed, the first big prize opening door 28 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 (1.5 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 (0.06 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 (1.5 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.05 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, the main CPU 30a does not output a game state signal to an external device such as the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 40 when a small hit game is awarded.

  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 (0.06 seconds) + interval time INa (1.5 seconds) + second time. The special winning opening door 28 is opened twice over an opening time T1 (0.06 seconds) = 1.62 (seconds). Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, in the 2R probability variation big hit game, the first round game time T11 (0.06 seconds) + interval time INd (1.5 seconds) + the second round game time T11. (0.06 seconds) = 1.62 (seconds), the grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice. Further, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T22 (0.06 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T22 (0.06 seconds). ) = The grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice over a round game time T21 (1.62 seconds). 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 “1.62 (seconds)”. That is, in the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R probability variable jackpot game, and the jackpot game, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening mode for “1.62 (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 big winning door 28 is opened twice in a short time (0.06 seconds), the player can select any one of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game from the open mode. Cannot be distinguished.

  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 game state signal is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC. Further, when the 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded when neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability variation state is imparted, the game state signal is not output to an external device such as the hall computer HC. Further, when a small hit game is awarded, the game state signal is not output to an external device such as the hall computer HC.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given, if neither the winning rate improvement state nor the probability change state is given, the second big prize is won. A gaming state signal is not output until the opening of the door 28 is completed. Therefore, until the opening of the second big winning door 28 is finished, it is not possible to distinguish whether a jump-up big hit game, a 2R normal probability variable big hit game, or a small hit game is given from the output state of the gaming state signal. . Therefore, even when a jump-up big hit game is awarded, until the game state signal is output (until the opening of the second big prize door 28 is finished), the 2R normal probability variable big hit game or the small hit It can be thought that a game may have been granted. Thereby, when the game state signal is output, it is possible to recognize that the jump-up jackpot game has been given, and to surprise the player.

  In addition, when neither the probability variation state nor the entrance rate improvement state is granted, if a 2R normal probability variation big hit game (or small hit game) is given, neither game state signal is output, It cannot be specified from the output state of the game state signal whether the 2R normal probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given. That is, when neither the probability variation state nor the entrance rate improvement state is granted, and the 2R normal probability variation big hit game (or small hit game) is given, the probability change state is determined from the output state of the game state signal. It cannot be specified whether or not it has been granted. Thereby, when neither the probability variation state nor the entrance rate improvement state is given, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened in the same opening manner as the 2R normal probability variation big hit game (or small hit game). In such a case, it is possible to expect that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game (or the small hit game) is finished, and the game can be continued.

  In addition, in the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variation hidden jackpot game, the 15R non-probability large hit game, and the 15R shortened non-probability jackpot game, the first to eighth rounds The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 is the same. For this reason, from the opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 from the 1st to the 8th rounds, 15R special probability variable hit game, step-up jackpot game, 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, 15R non-probable jackpot game, and It is not possible to recognize which jackpot game among 15R normal non-probability big hit games.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game, an opening mode until the jackpot door 28 is opened and closed seven times, a 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, and a 15R shortened non-probable bonus game 9-9 The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 up to the 15th round is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game, the grand opening door with an opening mode of opening time T6 (0.2 seconds) + interval time INe (2.0 seconds). 28 is opened and closed 7 times. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, in the 15R shortened probability variable big hit game and the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, in each round game of 9 to 15 rounds, the release time T8 (0.2 seconds) + interval time INc The grand prize opening door 28 is opened and closed in an open mode of (2.0 seconds). In other words, in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game, the opening mode until the jackpot door 28 opens and closes seven times, the 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R shortened non-probable jackpot game from the ninth to the 15th round The opening mode of the door 28 was the same. For this reason, from the eighth round onwards, until the big prize opening door 28 is opened and closed seven times, any of the big hit games of the step-up big hit game, the 15R shortened probability variable big hit game, and the 15R shortened non-probable big hit game from the open mode. I can not recognize.

  In addition, in the first floating game, when 15R special probability variation big hit game, 15R probability variation secret big hit game, or 15R non-probable big hit game is awarded, the big winning opening door 28 during the big hit game is opened, It is not possible to specify which jackpot game is awarded among the special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable hidden jackpot game, and the 15R non-probability variable jackpot game. In addition, in these jackpot games, since the output state of the game state signal during the jackpot game is the same, the output state of the game state signal when the jackpot game is given also makes the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot It is not possible to specify which jackpot game is awarded among games and 15R non-probable big hit games.

  Also, in the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game and the 15R non-probability big hit game, the period during which the winning rate improvement state is given after the big hit game ends (until 50 symbol variation games are executed) is the same. On the other hand, in the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends, whereas in the 15R non-probability big hit game, the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game ends. That is, when a big hit game of 15R special probability change big hit game, 15R probability change secret big hit game, or 15R non-probability big hit game is given, and then the symbol variation game is executed 50 times, the entry rate improvement state is given When is finished, it is impossible to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given. Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state in which the first variable game is easy to be executed is not given, any one of the 15R probability change secret big hit game and the 15R non-probability big hit game is given, and the big hit game ends. When the provision of the entrance rate improvement state is completed when the next 50 symbol variation games are executed, it can be expected that the probability variation state is imparted.

  Further, the main CPU 30a in the present embodiment is given the improved entrance rate through the external terminal board 40 until the operation flag is set to “0” after the operation flag is set to “1”. A game state signal notifying that the player is present is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC. As described above, the gaming state signal is a signal for notifying that the big hit gaming state is given or that the entry rate improvement state is given.

  Further, when a small hit game is awarded when the entrance rate improvement state is given, “1” is set in the operation flag. As a result, when a small hit game is given when the entrance rate improvement state is given, during the small hit game, the main CPU 30a sends a game state signal to the hall computer HC or the like via the external terminal board 40. Output to an external device.

  As described above, once the entrance rate improvement state is given, the game state signal is output to the external device until the entry of the entrance rate improvement state is completed, so that the entrance rate improvement state is given. This can be specified from the output mode of the gaming state signal. That is, when the game state signal is output, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, when the 15 round big hit game is given, and when the two round big hit game is given. This is when the entrance rate improvement state is given after the big hit game ends. Thus, when the game state signal is output, the player is in an advantageous state (a state in which a winning ball can be acquired or a state in which a winning rate improvement state is given).

  In this embodiment, the jump-up jackpot game is “first jackpot game”. In the present embodiment, the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game are “second big hit games”.

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) the number of reserved general-purpose start hold (-1) (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. And when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the probability that the judgment result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 2/107, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, The probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (normal hit probability) is 106/107.

  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 open / close blade 26 three times when the usual game is finished, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and opens until 1800 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 giving means, a probability change determining means, a probability change giving means, a ball entering rate improving state determining means, and a ball entering rate improving state giving period determining means. , Function as an entrance rate improvement state giving means, random number obtaining means, small hit determination means, small hit game giving means, external information output means, and opening 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 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of the decorative symbols from the jackpot symbol combinations. In this embodiment, it is determined from [000] [111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] as the jackpot symbol matching.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the step-up jackpot game and the 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, the general CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols as a jackpot symbol determined in advance among the jackpot symbol combinations. Determined from among the symbol combinations. In the present embodiment, a predetermined jackpot symbol combination is determined from [000] [111] [222] [444] [555] [666].

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, a 15R non-probable big hit game, and a 15R shortened non-probable big hit game, the general CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols as a big hit symbol. Of the combinations, it is determined from predetermined jackpot symbol combinations. In the present embodiment, [000] [222] [444] [666] is determined as a predetermined jackpot symbol combination.

  Thereby, when the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is [333] [777], it can be recognized that the 15R special probability variable big hit game is given. In addition, when the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is [111] [333] [555] [777], it can be recognized that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, when the decorative symbol pattern combination is [000] [222] [444] [666], the 15R special probability variable hit game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and the 15R non-probable game It is not possible to specify which jackpot game is awarded among the jackpot game and the 15R shortened uncertain variable jackpot game.

  In addition, if the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jump-up jackpot game, a 2R special probability variation jackpot game, or a 2R normal probability variation jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the ornament symbols. Decide from within. 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 general CPU 31a, as in the case of a jump-up jackpot game or 2R probability variable big hit game, selects a symbol combination of decorative symbols from among symbol combinations suggested by probability variation. To decide. That is, when the symbol combination of the decorative symbol is a symbol combination that suggests the probability variation, any one of the big bonus games of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game is selected. It is impossible to specify whether a game or a small hit game is given.

  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 the entrance rate improvement state is given, the second variation game is more easily executed than the first variation game. In the second floating game, if the probability variation state is not given after the 15th round jackpot game is finished (when 15R shortened non-probable variation jackpot game is won), a predetermined number of times after the 15th round jackpot game ends (this implementation) In the form, the entry rate improvement state is given until the 50th symbol variation game is executed. On the other hand, when a probability change state is granted after the 15th round jackpot game ends (for example, when a 15R shortened probability change jackpot game is won), after the 15th round jackpot game ends, until the next jackpot game is granted. The entrance rate improvement state is given. Therefore, after the predetermined number of symbol variation games have been executed after the end of the 15th round big hit game, it is possible to recognize that the probability variation state has not been imparted when the provision of the entrance rate improvement state is terminated. . Therefore, it can be recognized that the probability variation state is not given, and the game can be stopped or continued. In addition, in the second floating game, since the 2R probability variable big hit game is not won, the 15-round big hit game is given when the entrance rate improvement state is given compared to when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. If the probability variation state continues to be imparted, the award ball can be obtained (increased) smoothly.

  On the other hand, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the first variation game is more easily executed than the second variation game. In the first floating game, if the probability change state is not given after the 15th round jackpot game ends (if 15R non-probability variable jackpot game is won), as in the second variation game, after the 15th round jackpot game ends, Until the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) the symbol variation game is executed, a state of improving the entrance rate is given. On the other hand, unlike the second variation game, the first variation game has a predetermined number of times after the end of the 15 round big hit game, even if the probability variation state is given after the 15 round big hit game ends. Until the symbol variation game is executed, there may be a case where a state where the entrance rate is improved is given (when the 15R probability variation secret big hit game is won). Therefore, after a round of big hit game of 15 rounds is completed, after a predetermined number of symbol variation games have been executed, there are cases where the probability variation state is given even if the entry rate improvement state is given. When the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times after the big hit game is finished, it cannot be recognized whether or not the probability variation state is given. Thereby, even if the provision of the entrance rate improvement state is completed, it is possible to have the willingness to continue the game by expecting that the probability variation state is provided.

  In other words, when the entrance rate improvement state is not granted, it is difficult to obtain a prize ball by winning a 2-round jackpot game in which a prize ball cannot be expected, but it is expected that a promising state is given. Can continue playing. On the other hand, once the entrance rate improvement state is granted, the winning ball can be steadily increased by winning the 15 round jackpot game that can be expected to win the prize ball, and the end of the entrance rate improvement state is triggered. It can be recognized that the probability variation state is not given.

  In the first variation game, the symbol variation game is executed 50 times after the jackpot game is finished by the 15R probability variation secret big hit game and the 15R non-probability variation big hit game, and the probability variation state is maintained even after the granting of the entrance rate improvement state is finished. It can be expected to be granted. In addition, since the 2R probability variation big win game is won, even if the provision of the entrance rate improvement state has been completed or the provision of the entrance rate improvement state has been completed, the probability variation state is provided. Can be expected to be.

  In the second variation game, the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game, while the entrance rate is improved until a predetermined number of times (50 in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is executed. The jackpot game to which the state is given is not won (for example, 15R probability change secret jackpot game (symbol e)). In other words, when winning the big win in the second variable game, after the symbol variable game is executed 50 times after the big hit game is finished, when the provision of the improved entrance rate is finished, the probability change state is not given. Can be identified. Therefore, it is possible to recognize whether or not the game is continued by recognizing that the probability variation state is not provided at the time when the assignment of the entrance rate improvement state is completed. In addition, since the 2R probability variation big hit game is not won, the number of prize balls can be constantly increased.

  (2) In the second variable game, in addition to the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the opening time of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 during the big hit game is shorter by 15R than the 15R special probability variable big hit game Probable big hit games or 15R shortened non-probable big hit games are awarded. Therefore, when the entry rate improvement state is given, since the 2R probability variable big hit game is not won, it is possible to reliably obtain (increase) the winning ball. At the same time, when a 15-round jackpot game is awarded when the entry rate improvement state is granted, the given jackpot game is a 15R special jackpot game, a 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game during the 15-round jackpot game. , And 15R shortened non-probability variable big hit games, which jackpot game is given can be noted.

  (3) In the step-up jackpot game, the 15R shortened probability variation jackpot game, and the 15R shortened non-probability variation jackpot game, the opening mode of the prize winning door 28 of the grand prize opening device 29 is the same until the eighth round in the jackpot game. I did it. Specifically, in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot game, the opening state of the jackpot door 28 until the jackpot door 28 of the jackpot device 29 is opened seven times is 15R shortening probability variation jackpot game and 15R shortening It is the same as the open mode of the big winning opening door 28 in the non-probability big hit game. By doing in this way, when the entrance rate improvement state in which the second variable game is easy to be executed is given, it is possible to pay attention particularly to the release mode after the ninth round.

  (4) Among the 15 round jackpot games, in the 15R special probability variation jackpot game, 15R probability variation secret jackpot game, and 15R non-probability variation jackpot game, in all round games, from the start to the end of the round game, the winning device 29 The large winning opening door 28 is opened. In the first variable game, there is a possibility that all jackpot games of the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable hidden jackpot game, and the 15R non-probable variable jackpot game are given. On the other hand, in the second variable game, among 15R special probability variable big hit games, 15R probability variable secret big hit games, and 15R non-probable big hit games, only 15R special probability variable big hit games can be won. Therefore, in the first floating game, in all round games, when the 15 round big hit game that the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 is opened is given from the start to the end of the round game, After the jackpot game is finished, there is a case where a probability variation state is given and a case where it is not given. On the other hand, in the second floating game, when all round games are given 15 round big hit games where the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened from the start to the end of the round game. After the big hit game, the certainty change state is always given. Thereby, in any of the symbol variation games of the first variation game and the second variation game, in all round games, from the start to the end of the round game, the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29. If it is not known whether or not the 15 round big hit game is released, it is not possible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state has been given after the big hit game ends. Therefore, it can be noted whether the symbol variation game currently being executed is the first variation game or the second variation game.

  (5) The opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 of the first big winning opening device 29 in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game is different from the opening mode of the big winning opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 in the 2R probability variation big hit game. Made the same. The jump-up jackpot game and the 2R probability variable jackpot game are jackpot games that can be awarded only in the first variable game. Therefore, especially when the entrance rate improvement state in which the first variable game is easy to be executed is not given, the type of jackpot game given is any jackpot game of jump-up jackpot game or 2R probability variable jackpot game. In order to specify whether or not there is, it is possible to pay attention to the open mode of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29.

  (6) In the first floating game, when a small hit lottery is performed and the small hit lottery is won, the same small hit as the open state of the big winning opening door 28 of the 2R-probable large winning game and the large winning opening device 29 Added a game. As a result, when the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened and closed in an open mode of the 2R normal probability variation big hit game (or small hit game), it cannot be recognized whether or not the probability change state is given. Therefore, when the first floating game is easy to be executed and the 2R normal probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are not easily given, it is expected that the probability variation state is given. Can continue. Further, in the second variation game, since the small hit lottery is not performed, the game can be efficiently performed particularly when the entrance rate improvement state is given.

  (7) When a 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded, if a ball entering rate improvement state is given after the big hit game ends, a game state signal is output to the outside. On the other hand, the game state signal is not output to the outside when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the game of 2R probability variation big hit. That is, at the time when it is determined that the 2R probability variable big hit game is given, at least when the entry rate improvement state is given, the game state signal is output to the outside at the start of the big hit game. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 2R probability variation big hit game is given, if neither the entrance rate improvement state nor the probability change state is given, the 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 mouth door 28) in the same opening manner as the 2R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of games 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, a game state signal is output to the outside at the start of the jackpot game when the entry rate improvement state is granted when it is determined to be awarded. 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 gaming state signal is output to the outside. That is, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the game state signal is output to the outside after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened and closed in the same opening manner as the 2R probability variable jackpot game until the end of the jump-up jackpot game. I made it.

  In addition, when the operation flag is set to “1”, that is, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the game state signal is output to the outside. As a result, when a small hit game is given when the entrance rate improvement state is given, a game state signal is output even during the small hit game.

  Thereby, it is recognized whether the jump-up big hit game, 2R probability variable big hit game, or small hit game is given from the opening mode of the first big winning door 28 and the output mode of the game state signal output to the outside. I can't.

  In addition, when a game state signal is output, when a big hit game is given when the open time of the big winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) is longer than that during the 2R probability change big hit game, or the rate of entry This is when the improved state is given or given.

  Thus, when the game state signal is output, the situation is advantageous to the player, and therefore the player can determine whether or not the player is in an advantageous situation from the output mode of the game state signal. At the same time, it is possible to conceal (hide) whether a jump-up big hit game, 2R probability variable big hit game, or small hit game is given in the output state of the game state signal, so 2R big hit game (or small hit game) ) Can be expected to be given a jump-up jackpot game.

  (8) When a jump-up jackpot game is awarded when the winning rate improvement state is not granted, the end of the ending effect after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for the maximum number of rounds of the two-round jackpot game Until now, the game state signal is output to the external device via the external terminal board 40. In addition, when a 2R normal big hit game is given out of 2R probability variable big hit games when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the game state signal is not output. On the other hand, if a jump-up jackpot game is given when the entrance rate improvement state is given, a game state signal is output to the external device via the external terminal board 40 from the start to the end of the jump-up jackpot game. It was to so. Further, when 2R probability variation big hit game is given when the entrance rate improvement state is given, a game state signal is output to the external device via the external terminal board 40 from the start to the end of 2R probability variation big hit game. It was to so. By doing in this way, the game state signal continues to be output even if the big hit game is given after the entry rate improvement state is once given until the end of the entry rate improvement state. Therefore, since it is possible to always recognize from the output state of the game state signal that the big hit game has been given or the entry rate improvement state has been given, because the game state signal is not temporarily output Can prevent confusion. Regardless of whether or not the entry rate improvement state is given, the output state of the gaming state signal is at least the number of rounds of 2 round big hit games in the first round of the jump up big hit game, the grand prize winning door Until 28 is released, it may be the same as 2R probability variation big hit game. Therefore, it is possible to conceal whether the jump-up jackpot game is given or whether the 2R probability variable jackpot game is given regardless of whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given.

  (9) Since the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game are not given in the second variable game, the jump up big hit game is not given in the second variable game. If only the jump-up jackpot game is given out of the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R probability variable jackpot game, and the small hit game in the second floating game, the 2R probability jackpot game (or the jackpot game) Even if the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened in the open mode, the player can recognize that the jump-up jackpot game has been given. Therefore, even in the second floating game, it is possible to recognize that the jump-up jackpot game is given from the open state of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 by preventing the jump-up jackpot game from being given. Can be prevented.

  (10) By outputting the game state signal to the notification device KH, the player can recognize that the game state signal is output. In the present embodiment, the gaming state signal is output when the player is in an advantageous situation. From this, in the game store, it is recognized from the hall computer HC or the like that inputs the output game state signal that the player who is playing the game with the game machine that outputs the game state signal does not stop the game. You can also

  (11) In the case of winning the 2R probability variable big hit game, if the entrance rate improvement state is given after the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, the game state signal is output from the start to the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game. I made it. Further, in this embodiment, when neither a probability change state nor a winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit, a 2R normal probability changing big hit game that does not give the improved winning rate after the big hit game ends, and a positive change at the time of winning the big hit Even when neither the state nor the entrance rate improvement state is given, a 2R special probability variable big hit game is provided that gives the entrance rate improvement state after the end of the big hit game. As a result, even when neither the probability change state nor the entrance rate improvement state is given, if the game state signal is output at the time of the big hit game, the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are reached after the end of the big hit game. Can be recognized, so that interest can be improved.

  (12) Nine types of jackpot games are provided, and the types of jackpot games to be won are partially different between the first variation game and the second variation game. In this way, attention can be paid to which of the first variation game and the second variation game is the symbol variation game being executed. At the same time, attention can be paid to the type of jackpot game that is given.

  (13) 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.

  (14) The game state signal output mode is the same when 15R special probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and 15R non-probable bonus game are given. By doing so, it is made impossible to recognize which jackpot game has been awarded from the output state of the game state signal. In other words, it is possible to prevent from knowing whether or not the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished from the output state of the game state signal.

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.
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 types of decorative symbol combinations determined for each type of jackpot game are different, but they may all be the same. In this case, it is not possible to specify the type of jackpot game given from the symbol combination of the decorative symbols. Therefore, attention can be paid by the open mode of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning unit 29 during the big hit game, the output mode of the game state signal, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, a gaming state in which a 15R special probability variable jackpot game, a step-up jackpot game, a 15R shortened probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, a 15R non-probable variable jackpot game, and a 15R shortened non-probable jackpot game are given. Although the signal output mode is the same, it does not have to be the same.

  -In the above embodiment, even if the winning game for two rounds is won, depending on the gaming state at the time of winning, the mode of granting the entry rate improvement state after the end of the two rounds winning game is different, After the game is over, the entrance rate improvement state may be always given. At this time, since the entrance rate improvement state is given after the end of the two round big hit game, the game state signal is output during the two round big hit game.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) The second jackpot game is given the probability variation state or the entry rate improvement state at the start of a symbol variation game in which the value of the hit judgment random number matches the jackpot judgment value. Whether or not the increased entry rate state is given depends on the second special jackpot game in which the increased entry rate state is given after the end of the big hit game, regardless of whether the entered game rate is increased or not. 2 usually big hit game there Ru.

(B) A jackpot game that has a longer opening time of the special winning means during the jackpot game than the second jackpot game is provided separately from the first jackpot game .
