Description

  The present invention relates to a ball ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball ball game machine that develops a game from a normal symbol winning lottery to a special symbol winning lottery.

Conventionally, in a pachinko machine that is a ball ball game machine, when a game ball enters the starting port of a normal symbol, a normal symbol winning lottery is performed, and if the lottery result is a hit, a normal electric role that is a starting point of a special symbol The object can be opened and a special symbol can be entered into the starting port. In this state, when the game ball enters the start port of the special symbol, the symbol of the effect symbol display device starts to fluctuate and the lottery of the special symbol is performed, and the lottery result is displayed on the effect symbol display device as a fixed display. If the result of the lottery is a win, the big winning opening is opened and a big hit game advantageous to the player is executed (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
This type of pachinko machine has a function for reliably changing the probability of winning / failing the special symbol based on the special symbol determined at the time of the special symbol's winning / losing lottery. And a function of extending the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory by lottery drawing of ordinary symbols.
Further, Patent Document 2 described below describes a configuration incorporating a limiter that limits the number of repetitions so that the jackpot game and the probability change of the special symbol to a high probability do not occur repeatedly.

By the way, in the configuration in which the symbol variation of the effect symbol display device is performed at the time of the special symbol winning / failing lottery as in the pachinko machine, the symbol variation frequency is low, and if the symbol variation does not occur, the fun of the game is reduced. Therefore, there is a pachinko machine configured to perform symbol variation of the effect symbol display device at the time of the lottery determination of the normal symbol in order to improve the symbol variation frequency.
In the pachinko machine, the symbol change of the production symbol display device is started due to the entry of the normal symbol into the start opening and the normal symbol is determined whether or not the lottery is successful. In addition to the notification, the normal electric combination is opened, and a special ball winning lottery is developed when a game ball enters the normal electric combination.

  The pachinko machine with this configuration has a special symbol hit probability of almost 100% to increase the relevance between the symbol display by the normal symbol winning lottery and the special symbol winning lottery. The symbol also hits and shifts to a big hit game. The jackpot game is configured to open the grand prize winning opening for two rounds, and after the jackpot game ends, the normal symbol changes with a high probability and the opening extension function is activated so that the jackpot game can occur immediately and continuously. I have to. When the big hit game and the high probability state are repeated a predetermined number of times, the limiter returns to the normal game state (the state where the normal symbol is low probability).

JP 2000-84195 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-15177

In the conventional pachinko machine that changes the symbol of the effect symbol display device at the time of lottery determination of the conventional symbol, once the big hit game occurs, the big hit game is repeatedly executed until the limiter is activated, and the winning ball can be obtained. However, if the big hit game continues, the player gets used to the occurrence of the big hit game, and the number of prize balls to be acquired is almost constant, so that the player's sense of tension is reduced. Further, when the limiter is activated and the continuous jackpot game is interrupted, the probability returns to a low probability, and the player's sense of expectation for the next jackpot game also decreases.
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to realize an amusing bullet ball game machine that can improve a player's sense of tension and expectation.

The invention according to claim 1 is a ball game machine in which a special symbol lottery opportunity is given by winning a normal symbol.
When a game ball enters the starting point of the normal symbol, the design symbol display device starts the symbol variation and the normal symbol wins or loses. If the lottery result is a win, the design symbol display device hits the symbol. Display and inform you that you have been elected, open the regular electric accessory a predetermined number of times,
When a game ball enters the normal electric accessory that is the starting point for the special symbol, the special symbol is selected and the special electric accessory is opened a predetermined number of times if the special symbol is selected. There is no special symbol hitting game,
Each time the winning game is executed by winning the special symbol, the game state control means for selecting the gaming state after the winning game from a plurality of types of gaming state and executing the selected gaming state,
The gaming state control means includes a normal symbol probability changing function for increasing the probability of winning the normal symbol as compared to a normal gaming state as a gaming state after the end of the winning game, and an extension extension of the normal electric accessory. A first special gaming state in which a function and a special symbol probability variation function with a high probability of winning the special symbol are activated;
The normal symbol probability variation function and the second special gaming state in which the opening extension function operates are executed with a predetermined probability,
The winning probability of the special symbol is set to a probability of winning when the special symbol winning lottery is performed, with the normal probability and the high probability being approximately the same winning probability.
The winning probability at the time of high probability of the normal symbol is approximately the same as the winning probability of the special symbol,
The gaming state control means starts counting when the special symbol probability variation function is activated after the winning game is finished, and counts the number of times of operation of the special symbol probability variation function that is continuously operated. A limiter means is provided that operates when the set limit number of times is reached,
When the limiter means is activated, the gaming state after the end of the winning game is shifted to the normal gaming state or the second special gaming state,
The limiter means clears the count of the limiter means when the game state in which the special symbol probability variation function does not operate after the winning game ends during counting, and the special symbol probability variation function after the next winning game ends. Start counting anew by the operation of,
When transitioning to the second special gaming state during the count counting, an effect display indicating that the count number of the limiter has been cleared is performed.
During the winning game or during the operation of the special electric accessory, the normal symbol winning lottery and the normal electric accessory open control are operated as they are, and after the operation is completed, the operation is stopped from the next operation start. ,
The special symbol winning lottery and the normal electric combination release control are activated when the special symbol winning lottery, the winning game, or the operation of the special electric combination is finished.

According to the invention of claim 1, when the normal symbol and the special symbol are won and a special symbol hit game occurs, the gaming state after the corresponding game is shifted to the first or second special gaming state. Then, it becomes easy to generate a hit game with a special symbol. When the hit state in which the special symbol probability variation function is activated after the end of the hit game (first special game state) occurs continuously, the limit number is activated when the number of consecutive times reaches a preset limit number. If the gaming state after the end of the hit game shifts to the normal game state or the second special game state, and it is a normal game state, it is difficult to generate the next hit game.
On the other hand, if a hit occurs in a gaming state (second special gaming state) in which the special symbol probability variation function does not operate until the limiter means is activated even if the hit in the first special gaming state continues, The counter of the limiter means is cleared. In this case, the hit from the second special gaming state to the first special gaming state can be easily generated, and the count of the limiter means is newly started from the next winning of the first special gaming state. . Therefore, there is a possibility that the game is continuously executed when the number of times exceeds the limit. The limiter means preferably counts the transition to the gaming state in which the special symbol probability changing function is activated.
In this way, the invention of claim 1 is not monotonous such that the hit game of the special symbol is continuously executed up to the limited number of times as in the conventional configuration, and the second special game is continued during the hit of the special symbol. There is a possibility that consecutive hit games may be interrupted by assigning the hit of the game state, but there is a possibility that the game will continue after hitting the above limit number of times, and the total number of prize balls acquired by the player changes, It is possible to effectively improve the player's sense of tension and expectation, and to enrich the game interest.

There is a risk that the gaming state may be changed if the special symbol hit game ends while the normal symbol is changing. In the past, the shortest variation time of the normal symbol was avoided by making it longer than the variation time of the special symbol and the operating time of the hit game or special electric accessory, but with this, the variation of the normal symbol, the variation of the special symbol, All hit games are subject to time constraints.
On the other hand, it is possible to avoid the problem that the gaming state is changed during fluctuation of the normal symbol by setting the operating condition of the normal symbol as described, and in the processing of the normal symbol and the special symbol processing It is possible to produce a normal symbol and a special symbol without both time restrictions.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
When a game ball enters the first or second base start opening 21A, 21B, the pachinko machine 50 executes the base lottery lottery. At this time, the symbol change of the normal symbol display device 18 and the effect symbol display device 15 is started, and thereafter, the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display device 18 and the pseudo symbol corresponding to the ordinary symbol is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15. The lottery result is notified. If the lottery result is a win, the ordinary electric accessory (starting port 22 of the special figure) is opened as a normal game.
In this state, when a game ball enters the start port 22 of the special figure, a special lottery determination lottery is executed, and if the lottery result is a win, the special winning opening 22 is opened as a special game hit game. The special drawing lottery result is notified by displaying the special symbol on the special symbol display device 16.
At the end of the hit game of the special figure, the game state is shifted to a special game state different from the normal game state. As a special gaming state, the normal figure probability changing function with a high probability of winning a normal figure, the opening extension function of an ordinary electric accessory, and the special figure probability changing function with a high probability of winning a special figure are activated. A transition is made to one special gaming state, or a second special gaming state in which the normal probability changing function and the opening extension function are activated.
As described above, after the hit game of the special figure is completed, the hit game of the normal figure is likely to occur, and the hit game of the special figure can be continuously executed. Note that the hit game of the special figure is limited by a limiter.
The details of the operation will be described below based on the program processing executed by the main controller 80 (strictly, its CPU).

  First, the outline of the “main routine” of the program processing will be described with reference to FIG. The “main routine” is composed of the main processing (S100 to S111, S115) and the remaining processing (S112). The main routine is started due to an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). . This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), an initial random number update process (S101), a special figure big hit determination random number update process (S102), a big hit symbol decision random number update process (S103), a common figure hit random number Update process (S104), update process of random numbers for determining winning symbols (S105), update process of random numbers for reach determination relating to ordinary reach (S106), update process of random numbers for determining fluctuation patterns relating to fluctuation patterns of ordinary figures (S106) S107), winning confirmation process (S108), winning / failing determination process (S109), each output process (S110), fraud monitoring process (S111), and the initial time within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input The random number update process (S112) is looped.

  Next, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S108) and each output process (S110) will be described with a focus on the determination process (S109) deeply related to the present invention in the program process executed by the main controller 80. .

6 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108). In the subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108), it is confirmed whether there is a ball entering the first or second universal chart starting port 21A, 21B (S200). If there is an incoming ball (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether the usual hold memory is not full (S201). If the reserved memory is not full (S201: no), in the process of S202, a random number for determining a normal symbol, a random number for determining a hit symbol, a random number for determining a reach symbol, a random number for determining a missing symbol, a random number for determining a transition, etc. Various random numbers are extracted, and the extracted various random numbers are stored in the memory of the main controller 80 as reserved storage (up to four). Then, the display control of the general figure hold display device 19 and a command for the number of general figure hold are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 (S203).

  7 is a subroutine of the success / failure determination process (S109). In the process of S300, it is confirmed whether or not the ordinary electric accessory for opening the special opening 22 is operating. If it is not operating (S300: no), it is confirmed whether the normal map is changing (S301), and if it is not changing (S301: no), it is confirmed whether a fixed symbol is displayed (S302). In addition, if the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the routine proceeds to “general game processing”.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), it is checked whether there is a general memory reserved (S303), and if there is a general memory reserved (S303: yes), the general memory is reserved. The stored number is subtracted, and the hold storage shift process is performed (S304). By the shift process, the oldest reserved memory among the usual reserved memories becomes the target of the determination. If there is no usual-pending storage (S303: no), the process proceeds to “general-purpose game processing”.

  Next, in the process of S305, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is in probability variation (high probability) (if the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S305: yes), it is set so as to determine whether or not it is correct using the high-probability determination table (S306). If the probability change is not in progress (S305: no), the normality (low probability) success / failure determination table is set so as to determine whether or not it is correct (S307). Then, in the process of S308, whether or not it is a hit is determined by comparing the hit / fail determination table set in the process of S307 or S308 with a hit determination random number. For example, the normal hit probability is usually set to 1 / 399.9, and is set to 100% when the probability changes.

If it is a win (S308: yes), in the process of S309, a hit symbol is determined based on the hit symbol determination random number of the target hold memory, and based on the fluctuation pattern determination random number of the target hold memory The variation pattern of the hit is determined (S310).
On the other hand, if the usual figure is not hit (S308: no), the variation pattern of the loss is determined (S311).
Next, in the process of S312, the fluctuation start of the ordinary figure display device 18 and the ordinary figure change start command are transmitted to the effect symbol control apparatus 82 and the sub integrated control apparatus 83, and the process proceeds to the "normal figure game process".

When the normal symbol is changing in the process of S301 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 8, when it is confirmed that the symbol change time has passed (S320: yes), the fixed symbol display setting process ( In step S321), a command is transmitted to the confirmed symbol display of the common symbol display device 18, the effect symbol control device 82, and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to confirm and display the pseudo symbol corresponding to the universal symbol.
Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the fixed figure displayed is a winning combination (S322), and if it is a winning combination (S322: yes), the effect is started by the normal drawing start effect process (S323). A command is transmitted to the symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to start the hit effect, and the process proceeds to “general game processing”.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has passed (S330: yes), the confirmed symbol display ends. In the process (S331), a command is sent to the end of the fixed symbol display of the general symbol display device 18, and the display of the pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to the "general symbol game process". Transition.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the “special drawing success / failure determination process” checks whether a special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation (S400), and if it is not in operation (S400: no), It is confirmed whether the figure is changing (S401). If it is not changing (S401: no), it is confirmed whether a fixed symbol is displayed (S402). If the special electric accessory is operating (S400: yes), the process proceeds to “special game processing” (see FIG. 13).

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S402 (S402: no), it is checked whether there is a ball entering the start port 22 (ordinary electric accessory) of the special diagram (S403). If there is a ball entering the start port 22 of the special figure (S403: yes), then in the process of S404, it is confirmed whether the current gaming state is in the probability change with a high probability of hitting the special figure (probability change flag). If is 1, it is definitely changing). If the probability change is in progress (S404: yes), it is set so as to perform the success / failure determination using the high-probability determination table (S405). If the probability change is not in progress (S404: no), the normality (low probability) success / failure determination table is set so as to perform the success / failure determination (S406). In the process of S407, whether or not it is a big hit is determined by comparing the hit determination table set in the process of S405 or S406 with the big hit determination random number. For example, the probability of hitting a special figure is normally set to 65519/65521, and it is set to 65520/65521 when the probability changes, so that the probability of winning if the special drawing winning lottery is executed in any state. It is.

If it is a big hit (S407: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol (S450), and the big hit fluctuation pattern is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern. Determine (S451).
Subsequently, in the processing of S452 to S463, a gaming state to be shifted to after the hitting game of the special figure is set based on the decided special figure. As shown in FIG. 21, there are seven types of symbols, and the gaming state is selected based on symbols 1 to 6 excluding lost symbol 0. The gaming state includes a normal gaming state, a gaming state in which the normal figure probability changing function, the open extension function of the ordinary electric accessory and the special figure probability changing function are activated as the first special gaming state, or a second special gaming state. Is set to one of the gaming states in which the normal probability changing function and the opening extension function are activated.

First, in the process of S452 of FIG. 13, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot symbol of the confirmed special figure is a probability variation symbol that activates the probability variation function of the special symbol (S452: yes), if it is a probability variation symbol, the processing of S453 In the processing, the counter of the limiter that limits the number of consecutive games per hit of the special figure is checked to check whether the limiter is operating. For example, the limit number of limiters is set to 10, and when the counter reaches 10, the limiter operates.
If the limiter is not operating (S453: yes), the limiter counter is added (S454), and in the process of S455, 1 is set to the probability change setting flag for operating the probability change function of the special figure. In the subsequent processing of S456, 1 is set to the time-shortening setting flag for operating the normal change function and the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory. The time-shortening function is a function including both functions of normal figure change and open extension of the ordinary electric accessory.
According to this, the game state after the end of the special figure hit game shifts to the first special game state in which the normal figure probability changing function, the normal electric accessory opening extension function, and the special figure probability changing function operate. It will be.

In the processing of S453, if the counter reaches 10 and the limiter is operating (S453: no), the counter is cleared (S457), and the probability variation setting flag is set to 0 (S458).
In the subsequent process of S459, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot symbol when the limiter is activated is a short-time symbol that activates the short-time function that combines the universal figure probability changing function and the open extension function. S459: yes), the time setting flag is set to 1 in the processing of S456. According to this, the game state after the end of the special figure hit game shifts to the second special game state in which the normal figure probability variation function and the release extension function operate.
On the other hand, if it is not a time-short symbol (S459: no), 0 is set to the time-short setting flag (S405). The game state after the end of the special figure hit game will return to the normal game state (the special figure also has a low probability in the normal figure).

If the special figure is not a probability variation symbol in the processing of S452 (S452: no), the counter is cleared (S461), the probability variation setting flag is set to 0 (S462), and the time reduction setting flag is set to 1 (S463). . The game state after the end of the special game is shifted to the second special game state in which the normal probability changing function and the open extension function are activated.
It should be noted that when the limiter is inactive, the rate at which the gaming state shifts to the first special gaming state is 94%, and the rate at the second special gaming state is set to 6%. In the limiter operating state, the ratio of returning to the normal gaming state is set to 94%, and the ratio of shifting to the second special gaming state is set to 6%.

  In the special figure change start command transmission process (S464) subsequent to any of the processes of S456, S460, and S463, the special figure change start of the special figure display device 16, the special symbol control device 82, and the sub integrated control device 83 are specially shown. A command corresponding to the start of fluctuation is transmitted, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  Returning to the processing of S407 in FIG. 10, if it is not a big hit (S407: no), the variation pattern of the loss is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern (S408), and in the next processing of S409, the time reduction flag is set. Check to see if the time reduction function is operating (the time reduction flag is 1 when the time reduction function is active). If the time reduction function is in operation (S409: yes), the time reduction counter is subtracted (S410), and in the processing of S464 of FIG. A command corresponding to the start of fluctuation of the special figure at the time of the loss is transmitted to the device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  In the process of S401 in FIG. 10, if the special symbol is changing (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 11, when it is confirmed that the symbol variation time has passed (S420: yes), the fixed symbol display In the setting process (S421), a command corresponding to the special symbol confirmed symbol is transmitted to the confirmed symbol display of the special symbol display device 16, the production symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the special figure that has been confirmed and displayed is a combination that makes a big hit (S422). If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S422: yes), if the probability change flag is 1 (probably changing). (S423: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S424), and if the hour / short flag is 1 (short / medium) (S425: yes), the hour / short flag is set to 0 (S426).

Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started (S427), and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started (S428). The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Then, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process (S429), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  In the process of S422, if the combination is not a big hit (S422: no), it is confirmed whether the hour / hour flag is 1 (S430), the hour / hour flag is 1 (S430: yes), and the hour / hour number is 0 ( (S431: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S432), and the process proceeds to "special game processing".

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S402 in FIG. 10 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 12, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has passed (S440: yes), the confirmed symbol display ends. In the process (S441), a command relating to the end of the fixed symbol display of the special symbol display device 16, the end of the fixed symbol display is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to "special game processing".

  14 is a subroutine of each output process (S110) of the “main routine” (FIG. 5). First, it is confirmed whether the ordinary electric accessory is being opened (S500). If the ordinary electric accessory is not open (S500: no), it is confirmed whether the end effect per ordinary figure is in effect (S501), and if the end effect per ordinary figure is not in effect (S501: no), the start effect time per ordinary figure Is confirmed (S502), and if the start effect time per regular drawing has elapsed (S502: yes), the ordinary electric combination is released in the process of releasing the ordinary electric combination in S503, and the process returns.

  If the ordinary electric accessory is open in the process of S500 (S500: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is confirmed whether or not there are ten (specified number) winnings in the ordinary electric accessory (S510). Or, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory has ended (S511), and if any of them can be confirmed, the ordinary electric accessory is closed (S512), and the effect termination processing per ordinary drawing is executed (S513). ) Return.

  In the process of S501 of FIG. 14, if the effect of ending the normal drawing is being performed (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 16, it is confirmed whether or not the ending effect time of the normal drawing has elapsed (S520). If so (S520: yes), the process of sending a command for ending ordinary symbols (S521) is executed, and in this process, the command for ending ordinary symbols is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83. End the game per figure and return.

In the “special game process” shown in FIG. 17, first, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S600). If it is in operation (S600: yes), whether the big prize opening is open in the process of S601. Check. If the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S600: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening is not open in the process of S601 (S601: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S602), and if not during the interval (S602: no), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S603). If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S603: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S604), and if the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S604: yes), the winning prize opening of S605 is confirmed. Open the grand prize opening in the opening process and return.

  If the winning a prize opening is being opened in the process of S601 (S601: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, whether or not the winning a prize has been won is confirmed (S610), or the opening time of the winning a prize ends. It is confirmed whether or not (S611), and if either can be confirmed, the big prize opening is closed (S612), the big hit interval process is executed (S613), and the process returns.

If it is during the interval in the processing of S602 in FIG. 17 (S602: yes), as shown in FIG. 19, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit interval time has passed (S620), and if it has passed (S620: yes). ), It is confirmed whether it is the final round (second round) (S621), and if it is the final round (S621: yes), a big hit end effect process (S622) is executed, and in this process, the effect symbol control device 82 and A jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, the jackpot game is terminated and the process returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S621: no), the winning opening opening setting process (S623) is executed and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being processed in the process of S603 in FIG. 17 (S603: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, it is confirmed whether the jackpot end effect time has elapsed (S630), and if the time has elapsed. (S630: yes), a process (S631) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S632) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

In the subsequent processing of S633, it is confirmed whether the time reduction setting flag is 1. If the flag is 1 (S633: yes), the number of repetitions of the time reduction function is set (S634), and 1 is set in the time reduction flag (S635).
Next, in the process of S636, it is confirmed whether the probability variation setting flag is 1. If the flag is 1 (S636: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S637), and the big hit end command transmission process (S638) is executed. In this process, a jackpot end command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83, the jackpot game is terminated, and the process returns.
When 1 is set in the time reduction flag and the probability change flag in the processing of S635 and S637, the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the first special gaming state. When 1 is set only in the time reduction flag, the state shifts to the second special game state.

  22 and 23 show the effect display mode of the effect symbol display device 15 in the first or second special game state. FIG. 22A shows an effect display at the time of the first special game lottery transition to the first special game state, and a three-digit pseudo symbol corresponding to the normal symbol is variably displayed at the center of the screen. The upper part of the screen shows that a chance to continuously win a special game per game has started, and the lower part of the screen allows a maximum of 10 consecutive games (limited number of times) of the special game per game. It is shown that.

  FIG. 22B shows that the hit game of the special figure and the first special game state are continuously in progress, and the number of consecutive hit games of the special figure and the limit number are shown in the lower part of the lower surface.

  FIG. 22C shows an effect display in which a transition from the first special game state to the second special game state is made through a special game hit game. The illustrated example shows a state in which the hit game of the special figure and the first special game state are continued eight times, and the state shifts to the second special game state after the hit of the ninth special figure. In this case, by shifting to the second special game state, the count of the limiter is cleared, and the number of continuous games (continuous change) of the special figure can be newly made up to 10 times. Therefore, the upper limit of the limiter is updated in the lower part of the lower surface, and the upper limit of the limiter is combined with 8 times that is the number of consecutive hit games of the special figure so far, and 10 times that can be played continuously per hit game. It shows that it was updated 18 times. Strictly speaking, since the second special game state is in effect, the count of the limiter is not activated only by clearing the limiter count. However, since it is desired to show the player that the upper limit number is increased on the display, the upper limit number is updated and displayed at this timing.

  As the gameability, if the second special gaming state is obtained intermittently before the limiter is activated, the upper limit number will increase steadily, so at what timing can the player obtain the second special gaming state? The game can be advanced with a new interest.

According to the present embodiment, when the normal lottery win / win lottery is won and the special drawing win / fail lottery is started, it is almost certainly won and the hit game of the special drawing is executed. Thereafter, the gaming state is shifted to either the first special gaming state where the probability of hitting the normal figure and the special figure is high, or the second special gaming state where the probability of hitting the normal figure is high. . As a result, it becomes easy to continuously generate a hit game of a special figure. In addition, the ratio which transfers to a 1st special game is high.
Subsequently, when the hit of the special figure that is in the first special gaming state continues, the number of consecutive times is restricted by the limiter. If the limiter is activated when the number of consecutive consecutive hits for the first special game reaches a preset limit number, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state or the second special gaming state, and if it is a normal gaming state Next, it is difficult to generate a hit game. In this case, the rate of returning to the normal gaming state is high.
On the other hand, if a hit that results in the second special game state occurs before the limiter is activated even if the hit that results in the first special game state continues, the counter of the limiter is cleared, and the limiter means from the subsequent hit game Counting is newly started, and there is a possibility that the hit of the special figure will occur continuously more than the limit number of the limiter. Therefore, it is not monotonous that the hit of the special figure is continuously executed up to the limited number of times as in the conventional configuration. There is a possibility that the hit of the special figure will be interrupted by assigning the hit that will be in the second special gaming state during the hit of the special figure, but there is a possibility that the hit of the special figure will continue more than the above limit number Can effectively improve the player's sense of tension and expectation, and can enrich the interest of the game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko machine 50 is provided with a first general-purpose start opening 21A at the center lower part of the game area 13 and a second general-purpose start opening 21B on the right side. In this configuration, a left-handed game in which a game ball is launched aiming at the start opening 21A and a right-handed game in which a game ball is launched aiming at the second general-purpose start opening 21B are possible.
Then, the left and right hitting position lamps 41 and 42 provided in the gaming state notification lamp unit 30 shown in FIG. 24 notify that the left-handed game or the right-handed game is recommended. For example, in the normal gaming state, the left-handed position lamp 41 is lit to recommend a left-handed game.
On the other hand, during the operation of the special start port 22 (ordinary electric accessory), during the operation of the special prize opening 25 (special electric accessory), in the first and second special gaming states (the open extension function is activated) Is), the right-handed position lamp 42 is lit and a right-handed game is recommended.
As described above, according to the progress of the game, either left-handed game or right-handed game is recommended, thereby producing an effect of further enhancing the player's sense of tension and expectation.
In FIG. 24, 43 is a lamp indicating that the special figure is in a probable state, 44 is a lamp indicating that the time is short, 45 is a lamp that is lit when the limiter is in operation, and 19 is the above-mentioned reserved number display device. It is.

In addition to the display of the left and right hitting position lamps 41 and 42, as a means for notifying the recommended hitting position, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), the hitting position may be displayed on the effect symbol display device. .
Further, when entering the left first common figure starting port 21A is detected during the right-handed recommendation, it is desirable to perform a display recommending the right-handed as shown in FIG. Needless to say, when entering the right second normal start port 21B is detected during the left-handed recommendation, a display recommending left-handed is performed. In addition to the display, notification may be performed by voice or the like.

  Further, the timing for determining left-handed or right-handed may be performed after the winning confirmation process (S210) to the ordinary figure start opening, or may be performed in the "usually-winning determination process 1" in FIG. In this case, it is conceivable that notification is performed at the same time as usual fluctuation start. In this way, the left-handed / right-handed determination and the command transmission timing can be appropriately changed according to the game configuration and game playability.

In the present embodiment, the game state after the end of the special figure hitting game includes the normal game state, the probability change function of the general figure and the special figure, the first special game state in which the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory operates, and the normal game state. Although the second special gaming state in which the probability changing function and the opening extension function in the figure operate is shown, the present invention is not limited to this.
Therefore, based on FIG. 27 to FIG. 29, as a second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the normal game state, the first game state, and the second game state, a special figure having a high probability of hitting the special figure. A pachinko machine in which a third special game state in which only the probability changing function is set will be described. The basic configuration of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the relationship between the special symbol of the special figure determined at the time of the special figure's winning lottery and the gaming state to be shifted to after the winning game of the special figure, and the column indicating the gaming state at the left end shows the relationship from above. Normal game state, second special game state in which the probability change function of the normal figure and the extension extension function are activated, third special game state in which only the probability change function of the special figure is activated, the probability change function of the normal figure and the special figure, normal The 1st special game state in which the open extension function of an electrically-driven accessory act | operates is shown.
There are seven types of symbols, symbol 0 to symbol 6. If the game state at the time of special lottery is a normal game state, if the symbol is 0, the game is lost, if the symbol is 1, the normal game state is present, if the symbol is 2, the second special game state is the symbol. If it is 3, it is set so that the third special game state is selected, and if the symbols are 4 to 6, the first special game state is selected.

  In the normal gaming state, even if the symbol 1 selects the normal gaming state, the gaming state at the time of the lottery is a state in which the opening extension function and the special change probability function are activated, that is, the first, second and third In the special game state, the second special game state is set to be selected.

  Further, in the normal game state, even if the symbol 3 is for selecting the third special game state, the game state at the time of the lottery is the state in which the release extension function and the special figure probability changing function are operated, that is, the first, first In the second and third special game states, the second special game state is set to be selected.

  As in the first embodiment, the selection of the gaming state is executed by the process of “special figure win / fail determination process” (FIG. 10), and if it is a big hit in the process of S407 of FIG. 10, the process of S460 shown in FIG. Then, the game state (current game state) at the time of the determination of the success / failure is referred to, and the game state is selected by reflecting the reference result in the processing of S463 to S474.

According to this embodiment, the same operational effects as the first embodiment can be obtained,
Since the third special game state is provided, it is possible to increase the game state to be shifted at the first time (normal game state).
When shifting from the normal gaming state to the third special gaming state, the game will shift to the first special gaming state regardless of the symbol at the next hit, so as shown in FIG. Unprecedented notice that there is a possibility that a winning game will be continuously executed by winning the next special symbol, such as “Tatsuyoshi chance entry!”.

In the first and second embodiments, when the regular drawing lottery and the special drawing lottery are performed at the same time, the special drawing lottery is won while the regular drawing is changing (during the lottery). When the winning game ends, the gaming state is changed, which may affect the determination of whether or not the normal drawing being drawn is being drawn.
Therefore, a third embodiment of the present invention configured to avoid such problems will be described. The basic configuration of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.
In the present embodiment, during the special drawing winning lottery, during the special drawing winning game or during the operation of the special winning opening 25 (special electric accessory), the special drawing winning lottery, the special drawing starting port by the common drawing winning game The operation of opening control of 22 (ordinary electric accessory) is stopped.
In this case, it is desirable that the normal lottery lottery and the special drawing start port 22 (ordinary electric accessory) in the open control operation are operated as they are, and the next operation start is stopped after the operation ends. Moreover, the structure which interrupts the thing in operation at the point may be sufficient.
Then, the special drawing winning lottery, the special drawing starting port 22 (ordinary electric accessory) is opened by the operation of the special drawing winning lottery game, the special figure winning game or the special winning opening 25 (special electric accessory) being completed. Activate the control.

In order to control in this way, as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, it is confirmed at the initial stage of the “universal determination determination process 2” whether the special winning opening 25 (special electric accessory) is in operation (S340). ), Confirm whether the special figure is changing (S341), confirm whether the special symbol of the special figure is being displayed (S342), and if either is affirmative determination, it is configured to shift to "general drawing game processing" did.
Note that the processing of S343 to S356 is the same as the processing of S300 to S312 of the “normal figure determination process 1” (FIG. 7), and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, the “normal figure determination / rejection determination process 2” may be configured to execute only one of the processes of S340, S341, and S342.

  According to the present embodiment, the effect symbol display device 15 can perform the pseudo-graphic variation display and the special symbol hit game effect on the effect symbol display device 15 without worrying about the relationship between the time of both the ordinary diagram and the special diagram. Can do. Further, it is possible to avoid the problem that the gaming state changes while the usual figure is changing.

Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a gaming state in which the universal figure probability changing function is activated (first and second).
In the special game state), during special lottery lottery, during special game hits,
During the operation of the special electric accessory), the special lottery of lotus drawing, the opening control of the special figure starting port 22 (ordinary electric accessory) by the hitting game of common figure is stopped, the special lottery drawing, special drawing When the operation of the winning game or the special winning opening 25 (special electric accessory) is finished, the normal lottery drawing and the opening control of the special drawing start port 22 (normal electric accessory) are operated.

In order to control in this way, as shown in FIG. 32, at the initial stage of the “normal signal determination / rejection determination process 3”, the time flag is checked to determine whether the normal variable function is functioning (S361). . If the normal change function is functioning (S361: yes), it is confirmed whether the special prize opening 25 (special electric accessory) is operating (S362), and the special figure is changing (S363). It is configured to confirm whether or not the confirmed symbol of the figure is being displayed (S364), and if any of them is affirmative determination, the process proceeds to “general figure game processing”.
Note that the processing after S365 is the same as the processing after S343 in "Usual-Due / Failure Determination Processing 2" (FIG. 27).

  According to this embodiment, the same effects as those of the third embodiment can be obtained, and the average fluctuation time of the usual drawing can be further shortened. Sufficient gaming time per figure can be secured.

  The present invention is not limited to the first to fourth embodiments, and can of course be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the limit number of limiters is set to a fixed number of ten, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the limit number may be increased or decreased. Further, the number of times of limitation may be changed according to a special symbol of a special figure.
