Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to a gaming machine that makes a lottery determination of a normal symbol by variably displaying a normal symbol due to entering a starting port.

  As a conventional pachinko machine that is a typical game machine, a lottery for normal symbols is performed, and if the lottery result is a hit, the normal electric combination serving as the starting point for the special symbol is released, and the normal electric combination is entered. The symbol design of the effect symbol display device is started and the special symbol is determined whether or not the lottery is successful.If the lottery result is a hit, the symbol is confirmed and displayed on the effect symbol display device, and the big prize opening is continuously opened. It is widely known to execute special games that are advantageous to the player.

  This type of pachinko machine has a gaming state in which the probability of hitting a special symbol is changed with a high probability after a special game is completed based on the special symbol, a gaming state in which a normal symbol is changed with a high probability, and A game state that extends the opening time, and a transition to a short game state when the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened so that the player can acquire profits in a short time by increasing the chance of generating a big bonus of special symbols. (See, for example, Patent Document 1). Usually, the fluctuation time of a normal symbol takes about 30 seconds, but is shortened to several seconds during the time reduction.

As another conventional pachinko machine, in recent years, there is a configuration in which a special symbol hit is used as a trigger for a change in a gaming state, and a prize ball is realized exclusively by entering a normal electric accessory. This kind of pachinko machine starts the symbol variation of the production symbol display device due to the ball entering the starting port of the normal symbol and performs a lottery determination of the normal symbol, and if the lottery result is a win, The winning symbol of special symbol is developed by notifying the hit and playing a normal symbol winning game that releases the ordinary electric accessory, and entering the ordinary electric accessory with the game ball.
Also, in the pachinko machine, in order to increase the relevance between the display of the normal symbol winning symbol and the special symbol winning lottery, the hit probability of the special symbol is almost 100%, and if the normal symbol is hit, the special symbol is also displayed. It will be a hit. In the special symbol winning game, for example, the winning opening is opened for two rounds, and after the special symbol winning game is finished, the normal symbol is changed with a high probability and the time shortening function of the normal symbol is activated. This game state corresponds to a special game advantageous to the player of the typical pachinko machine, and a structure in which a normal symbol hit game and a special symbol hit game can be generated in succession immediately.

By the way, in the pachinko machine, when the lottery of the special symbol is won, the conditional device is activated and a special symbol winning game is executed, and when the conditional device is stopped, the game shifts to the probability change or the short game state. During the operation of this condition device, the probability change and time reduction do not operate and the normal gaming state is set.
In the other pachinko machines, since the special symbol hits continuously in the special game, the operation and stop of the condition device are repeated, and there is a high possibility that the normal symbol fluctuates during the operation of the condition device. For this reason, when the variation of the normal symbol is started during the operation of the condition device, this variation becomes a normal variation time, and the interval between the normal symbol hit game and the special symbol hit game becomes longer and the special game as a whole. However, there is a problem that the original effect of the short function of the normal symbol such as lack of speed, a decrease in the tension of the player, and the player's profit can be obtained in a short time is not exhibited.
Further, Patent Document 2 below proposes a configuration in which normal symbols are not changed during the operation of the conditional device, but are changed after the conditional device is stopped, but the effect of suppressing the delay of special games is not sufficiently exhibited. .

JP 2000-135346 A JP 2008-132145 A

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention can shorten the interval between the normal symbol hit game and the special symbol hit game, and suppress the extension of the special game in which the normal symbol and special symbol hit games are continuously generated. Therefore, it is an object to provide an amusing gaming machine capable of improving the tension and expectation of the player with a sense of speed.

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 general symbol display device 18 and the effect symbol display device 15 is started, and thereafter, the general symbol is displayed on the general symbol display device 18 and the pseudo symbol corresponding to the general 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 gate 22 of the special figure, a special lottery determination lottery is executed. If the lottery result is a win, the special winning opening 25 is opened as a special game hit game. Note that the special drawing lottery result is confirmed and displayed on the special drawing display device 16.
At the end of the special figure winning game, based on the special symbol winning pattern, the probability variation game state with a high probability of winning the special figure, the winning probability of the special figure with a high probability, and the fluctuation display of the normal figure When the time is shortened, it shifts to the short game state.
As described above, after the hit game of the special figure is completed, a game state in which the hit game of the normal figure is likely to occur is generated, and the hit game of the special figure can be continuously executed. It should be noted that the number of consecutive hit games 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), initial random number update processing (S101), special symbol jackpot determination random number update processing (S102), big bonus symbol determination random number update processing (S103), common symbol hit determination 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 S202, various random numbers such as a normal hit determination random number, a hit symbol determination random number, and a reach determination random number are extracted, and the extracted random numbers are It is stored in the memory of the main controller 80 as reserved storage (maximum 4). Then, the command for the number of reserved figures is transmitted to the display control of the number-of-holds display device 19 and 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 normal electric accessory for opening the special opening 22 is operating. If not (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 time reduction flag is checked to check whether the current gaming state is in the normal probability change (high probability) (if the time reduction flag is 1, the probability change is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S305: yes), the success / failure determination is performed using the high-probability determination table (S306). If the probability change is not in progress (S305: no), the success / failure determination is performed using the normality probability (low probability) determination table (S307). In S306 or S307, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number for determination of the pending storage hit determination target is the same as the determination value for each table. In this case, the normal hit probability is set to 1/200 at the normal time and to 1.5 times at the short time (see FIG. 25).

In the process of S308, it is confirmed whether or not the determination in S306 or S307 is successful. If the determination is successful (S308: yes), in the process of S309, based on the random number for determining the winning symbol of the reserved storage subject to the determination. Determine the winning symbol of the figure. The winning symbol is selected from two types of “symbol 1” and “symbol 2” shown in FIG. 22 (the processing of S308 and S309 corresponds to the normal symbol lottery means described in the claims).
Subsequently, in the process of S310, a winning variation pattern (such as symbol variation time) based on the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern of the pending storage to be determined and the gaming state (time-short state or normal state) is shown in FIG. To "variation pattern 1" to "variation pattern 5".

In the subsequent variation flag process of S310, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 8, and a variation setting flag is set. The pachinko machine 50 is configured to execute a special variation that shortens the variation display time for a predetermined number of times from the variation display of the next conventional diagram when the ordinary diagram is hit. Therefore, a variation setting flag is set based on the current gaming state and the normal winning symbol, and the special variation pattern is determined by the variation setting flag. To be precise, the fluctuation flag is set based on the fluctuation setting flag, and the special fluctuation pattern is determined by the fluctuation flag.
The variation setting flag is set to any one of “1 to 4”. As shown in FIG. 23, the variation flag is set in the range of “0 to 4”, among which “1 to 4” corresponds to “variation setting flags 1 to 4” and “special variation 1 to 4”. Based on this, “variation patterns A to D” are determined. The “variation patterns A to D” are set in the range of the variation time of 0.5 to 1.0 seconds, and are extremely shorter than the other “variation patterns 1 to 4”. In the “variation pattern 5” when the game state is short, the variation time is short.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the “variation flag setting process”, first, in the process of S400, it is checked whether the gaming state is not a short time by referring to the short time flag (when the short time flag is 1, the short time). If the time is not short (S400: yes), it is confirmed whether the common figure determined in the process of S309 (FIG. 7) is “symbol 1” (S401). If it is “symbol 1” (S401: yes), the variation flag is set to 1 (S402).
On the other hand, if it is not “symbol 1” (S401: no), the variation flag is set to 2 (S403).

If the time is short in the process of S400 (S400: no), it is checked in the process of S404 whether the common symbol is “symbol 1”. If it is “symbol 1” (S404: yes), the variation flag is set to 3. (S405).
On the other hand, if it is not “symbol 1” (S404: no), the variation flag is set to 4 (S406).

  If the normal figure is not hit in the process of S308 in FIG. 7 (S308: no), the lost pattern is determined and the variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number and the gaming state (short time state or normal state). (S312). In the subsequent process of S313, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 9, and a variation counter subtraction process is performed.

The variation counter functions to count the number of executions of the usual variation display by the special “variation patterns A to D” and to regulate when the number of executions reaches the limit.
As shown in FIG. 22, the limit of the number of executions (the number of times of normal operation) is set to “2 to 5 times of normal operation” corresponding to “variation flags 1 to 4”.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the “variation counter subtraction process”, it is confirmed whether the variation counter is 0 (S450). If it is not 0 (S450: yes), the variation counter is subtracted (S451), and the process returns.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 7, in the process of S314 following the process of S311 or S313, data indicating the result of determining whether or not the normal figure has been received (a normal symbol hit symbol, a lost symbol, the presence of reach, a variation pattern, etc.) is included. In addition to outputting the common figure change start command to the sub-integrating device 83, the common figure display device 18 performs a process of variably displaying the common figure (corresponding to the normal symbol changing means described in the claims). After the process of S314, or if S303 is negative (S303: no), the process proceeds to the “general-purpose game process”.

The sub-integrating device 83 side can grasp the winning symbol, the lost symbol, the presence / absence of the reach, and the variation pattern by the common symbol variation start command.
The sub-integrating device 83 that has received the universal symbol change start command determines the type of pseudo symbol and the type of variation effect according to the fixed symbol (winning symbol, lost symbol) of the normal symbol, the variation pattern, and produces the determination result. Transmitting to the symbol control device 82, the effect symbol control device 82 displays a pseudo symbol corresponding to the normal symbol on the effect symbol display device 15 according to the determination of the sub-integrating device 83.
The determination of the pseudo symbol type and the variation effect type is not limited to the configuration determined by the sub-integrating device 83, but may be determined by the effect symbol control device 82 which is the same sub-control device.

When the normal symbol is changing in the process of S301 in FIG. 7 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, when it is confirmed that the symbol change time has passed (S320: yes), the confirmed symbol is displayed. In the setting process (S321), a command is transmitted to the confirmed symbol display of the general 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 common symbol.
Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the fixed figure displayed is a winning combination (S322). If the winning figure is a winning combination (S322: yes), the ordinary electric combination which is the start port 22 of the special figure is displayed. An object operation start process is performed (S323). This process is, for example, setting a release flag to 1, for example, at the preparation stage for permitting the opening of the ordinary electric accessory.
In the subsequent normal game start effect process (S324), a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to start the normal game hit effect, and the process proceeds to the "general game process".

  If the combination is not a winning combination in the processing of S322 (S322: no), the variation flag is a value greater than 0 (S325: yes), and if the count value of the variation counter is 0 (S326: yes) Then, the variation flag is set to 0 (S327), and the process proceeds to “general game processing”.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 in FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 11, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended (S330: yes), the confirmed symbol display ends. In the process (S331), the final symbol display end processing of the general symbol display device 18 is performed, and a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to end the display of the pseudo symbol. Move to “Process”.

  12 is a subroutine of each output process (S110) of the “main routine” (FIG. 5). First, in the process of S500, a special figure is started by the process of S323 (FIG. 10). It is confirmed whether the normal electric accessory which is the mouth 22 is operating. If it is in operation (S500: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is being opened (S501), and if not being opened (S501: no), it is confirmed whether or not the end effect per ordinary drawing is being performed ( S502). If it is not during the end effect per ordinary figure (S502: no), it is confirmed whether the start effect time per ordinary figure has passed (S503), and if the start effect time per ordinary figure has passed (S503: yes), S504. Executes the general electric utility release process and returns. In this process, the ordinary electric utility solenoid serving as the special figure starting port 22 is opened in a predetermined release mode (see FIG. 25B) by driving the ordinary electric utility solenoid.

  If the ordinary electric accessory is being opened in the process of S501 (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, confirmation is made as to 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.

If it is in the process of ending the usual figure in the process of S502 of FIG. 12 (S502: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed whether or not the ending effect time per ordinary figure has passed (S520). If the end effect time has elapsed (S520: yes), the variation setting flag is confirmed by setting in the variation flag setting process in S311, and if the variation setting flag is 1 (S521: yes), the variation flag is set. 1 is set (S522), and 2 is set in the variation counter (S523).
If the fluctuation setting flag is 2 (S524: yes), 2 is set in the fluctuation flag (S525), and 4 is set in the fluctuation counter (S526).
If the fluctuation setting flag is 3 (S527: yes), 3 is set in the fluctuation flag (S528), and 3 is set in the fluctuation counter (S529).
If the fluctuation setting flag is not 1, 2, 3 (S521, S524, S527: no), it is recognized that the fluctuation setting flag is 4, and the fluctuation flag is set to 4 (S530), and the fluctuation counter is set to 5. (S531).

  After setting the variation counter in the process of S523, S526, S529, or S531, the process of sending the end command per common figure (S532) is executed, and this process is normally used for the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83. A hit end command is sent, and the game ends per game and returns. Note that the processing of S521 to S531 corresponds to the variation time shortening means described in the claims.

When a game ball enters the special figure start opening 22 in the game per game, random numbers (such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, etc.) are extracted due to the incoming ball. Based on this, whether or not the special figure is appropriate is determined.
15 is a subroutine of the success / failure determination process (S109) of the “main routine” (FIG. 5). First, in the process of S600, a special electric motor for opening the special winning opening 25 is shown. Check whether the accessory is in operation. If it is not in operation (S600: no), check whether the special figure is changing (S601). If it is not changing (S601: no), is the confirmed symbol displayed? Confirm (S602). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S600: yes), the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the determined symbol is not being displayed (S602: no), it is confirmed whether there is a ball entering the start port 22 (ordinary electric accessory) of the special diagram (S603). If there is a ball entering the start port 22 of the special figure (S603: yes), then in the process of S604, it is confirmed whether the current gaming state is in the probability change with a high probability of the special figure (probability change flag). If is 1, it is definitely changing). If the probability change is in progress (S604: yes), the success / failure determination is performed using the high-probability determination table (S605). If the probability change is not in progress (S604: no), the success / failure determination is performed with the normality probability (low probability) determination table (S606). In S605 or S606, it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number matches the determination value in each table. The hit probability of the special figure is set to a value close to 1 in both the normal time and the probability change (see FIG. 25), and is a probability that the winner is almost won if the special figure is determined in any state.

In the process of S607, it is confirmed whether or not the determination in S605 or S606 is a big hit (S607: yes), and in the process of S608, the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined based on the big hit symbol determination random number ( This corresponds to the special symbol lottery means described in the claims).
Subsequently, in the processing of S609, a big hit variation pattern (such as symbol variation time) is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number and the gaming state (short time state or normal state). Next, based on the jackpot symbol, the contents of the jackpot game (special game) (number of rounds, number of times the big prize opening 25 is opened, opening time, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) and the game state after the end of the special game ( Time-short game, probability change game, and normal game are set (S610).

  If it is not a big hit in the process of S607 (S607: no), the lost symbol is determined and the variation pattern (variable time) of the loss is determined (S611), and the game state is set after completion of the symbol variation (short-time game, A probability variation game and a normal game are set (S612).

Subsequent to the processing of S610 and S612, in the processing of S613, a change start command including data (a type of big hit game, a type of loss, a change time, etc.) indicating the determination result of the special figure is sent to the sub-integrating device 83. Output. After the processing of S613, or if S600 is affirmative (S600: yes), or S603 is negative (S603: no), the process proceeds to “special game processing”.
The sub-integrating device 83 side can grasp the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot game), the lost symbol, and the variation time by the change start command.

  In the process of S601, if the special symbol is changing (S601: yes), as shown in FIG. 16, when it is confirmed that the symbol variation time has elapsed (S620: yes), the fixed symbol display setting process ( In S621), the special figure display device 16 performs processing to display the special figure in a variable manner.

  Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the special figure that has been confirmed and displayed is a combination that makes a big hit (S622). If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S622: yes), if the probability change flag is 1 (probable change). (S623: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S624), and if the time reduction flag is 1 (medium time reduction) (S625: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S626).

Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started (S627), and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started (S628). 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 sent 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 (S629), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  In the process of S622, if the combination is not a big hit (S622: no), it is confirmed whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S630), the probability variation flag is 1 (S630: yes), and the probability variation number is 0 ( S631: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S632). Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the time reduction flag is 1 (S633), the time reduction flag is 1 (S633: yes), and if the time reduction count is 0 (S634: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S635). Next, in the state designation command transmission process of S636, the state designation command of the gaming state set in the processes of S632 and S635 is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”. To do.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S602 in FIG. 15 (S602: yes), as shown in FIG. 17, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has passed (S640: yes), the confirmed symbol display ends. In the process (S641), a command relating to the end of the confirmed symbol display of the special symbol display device 16, the end of the confirmed 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".

In the “special game process” shown in FIG. 18, first, it is confirmed whether the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S700). If it is in operation (S700: yes), the special winning opening 25 is open in the process of S701. Make sure. If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S700: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening 25 is not open in the process of S701 (S701: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S702), and if not during the interval (S702: no), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S703). ), If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S703: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has passed (S704), and if the jackpot start effect time has passed (S704: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S705), and in this process, the special winning opening solenoid is driven to open the special winning opening 25 in a predetermined opening mode (see FIG. 25) in which an opening time is set in advance (see FIG. 25). Equivalent to means of opening a big prize opening). Then return.

  If the grand prize opening 25 is open in the process of S701 (S701: yes), as shown in FIG. 19, it is confirmed whether or not there is a prize at the big prize opening 25 (S710), or It is confirmed whether or not the opening time has expired (S711). If any of them can be confirmed, the big prize opening 25 is closed (S712), the big hit interval process is executed (S713), and the process returns.

If the interval in the processing of S702 in FIG. 18 is in the interval (S702: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed (S720), and if it has elapsed (S720: yes). ), It is confirmed whether it is the final round (second round) (S721), and if it is the final round (S721: yes), the big hit end effect processing (S722) is executed, and in this processing, 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 (S721: no), the special winning opening 25 opening setting process (S723) is executed and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being processed in the process of S703 of FIG. 18 (S703: yes), as shown in FIG. 21, it is confirmed whether the jackpot end effect time has elapsed (S730), and if the time has elapsed. (S730: yes), a process (S731) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S732) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

In the subsequent processing of S733, it is confirmed whether or not the subsequent game state is to be changed to probability change, and when it is to be changed to probability change (S730: yes), the probability change flag is set to 1 (S734) and the probability change counter is set. (S735). The probability variation counter limits the duration of the probability variation state. The probability variation counter is configured to count the number of fluctuations in the special figure and stop the probability variation function when the number of fluctuations reaches a predetermined number.
Subsequently, the hour / hour flag is set to 1 (S736), and the hour / hour counter is set (S737). The time reduction counter limits the duration of the time reduction state, and is configured to count the number of fluctuations of the special figure and stop the probability variation function when the number of fluctuations reaches a predetermined number of times (the continuous game described in the claims) Corresponds to the control means).

  After the process of S737 or if the negative determination is made in the process of S733 (S733: no), a big hit end command transmission process (S738) is executed, and in this process, the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 are executed. Send a jackpot end command. In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S739, the state designation command of the gaming state set in the processes of S734 to S737 is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83, and the big hit game is terminated and returned.

  This pachinko machine 50 sets "variation setting flags 1-4" depending on whether the game state at the time of starting the fluctuation of the normal figure is a short-time state and the type of the winning symbol when the normal drawing winning lottery is won Then, “variation flags 1 to 4” are set based on the variation setting flag (S522, S525, S528, S530 in FIG. 14). Then, as shown in FIG. 23, “special fluctuations 1 to 4” are set according to the fluctuation flag, and the fluctuation display of the usual figure after hitting the normal figure is changed to “fluctuation pattern A having a short fluctuation display time due to the special fluctuation. ~ D ", a predetermined number of times of normal operation is performed.

As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the variation flag is a normal gaming state, and if it is “symbol 1”, “variation flag 1” is set, “variation flag 1” becomes “special variation 1”, “ Variation display by “variation pattern A” is set twice.
If it is a normal gaming state and “symbol 2”, “variation flag 2” becomes “special variation 2”, and variation display by “variation pattern B” is set four times.
If it is a short game state and “symbol 1”, “variation flag 3” becomes “special variation 3”, and variation display by “variation pattern C” is set three times.
If it is a short game state and “symbol 2”, “variation flag 4” becomes “special variation 4”, and variation display by “variation pattern D” is set five times.

  FIG. 24 is a time chart showing an operation in which the time for usual fluctuation display is shortened. When the game state is the normal state and the condition device is not activated, the universal diagram display device fluctuates by entering the universal diagram start opening (a). This variation is executed by “variation patterns 1 to 4” other than the special variations 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 23, and the variation time is long. “Variation patterns 1 to 4” are set when the variation flag is “0” and the game state is normal, and whether the lottery of the usual figure is a win or a miss, the number of holds, the random number for determining the variation pattern and reach determination Is set to any one of the fluctuation patterns 1 to 4 based on the random number. FIG. 23 shows the case where the variation pattern determination random number is a specific value, and the setting when the variation pattern determination random number is other than the specific value is omitted.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 24, when “design 2” is set in accordance with the usual figure variation “a”, the ordinary electric accessory is released (b). If there is a ball entering the starting port of the special figure of the ordinary electric accessory during this opening (c), the special figure fluctuates (d), and in most cases, the condition device is activated with a big hit (e). In the jackpot game, the big winning opening (special electric accessory) is opened twice. In the special figure variation d, the time reduction is set, and after the condition device e stops, it shifts to the time reduction gaming state.

When a ball is entered into the general figure starting port at the time point B during the normal electric accessory release b, the normal figure change f is started after a certain time T1 after the normal electric accessory release b is closed. This normal map variation f is after the normal map hit, and the variation display time is shortened by the special variation. The game state at the start of the variation a is normal, and since the winning symbol is “symbol 2”, the variation display f is a variation display by “variation pattern B”. Since the fluctuation pattern B is maintained until the usual figure is fluctuated up to four times (see FIG. 23), there is a possibility that the fluctuation pattern B is performed three more times.
When the normal figure variation f hits “symbol 1” and there is a ball h entering the starting port of the special figure in the normal electric accessory release g, the special figure fluctuation k results in a big hit in most cases. The condition device is activated (m). The gaming state is returned from normal time to normal by the condition device operation m.

When the ball enters the normal start port during the normal electric accessory opening g and during a certain time T1 thereafter (at the time of C, D, E), these normal fluctuations n are executed after the normal electric accessory release g is closed. Since the condition device is activated, it is performed in a normal gaming state.
However, the normal figure variation n corresponding to C is a special fluctuation after hitting the normal figure, the game state at the start of the fluctuation f is short, and the winning symbol is “symbol 1”. Is executed. Note that the common figure variation n corresponding to c is performed in the “variation pattern B” since the common figure variation a corresponding to A is the fourth figure variation (second time) after the symbol 2 hits the symbol 2. However, since the usual figure fluctuation f corresponding to B hits, it is performed with the "fluctuation pattern C" newly set by this.
The “variation pattern C” is maintained until the usual figure fluctuates up to three times, and the result of the ordinary figure fluctuation corresponding to C is lost, so the ordinary figure fluctuation corresponding to D is also “variation pattern C”. Furthermore, since the result of the usual map change corresponding to this d was also lost, the usual map change corresponding to “e” is also “change pattern C”. In this way, the usual fluctuation display corresponding to C, D, H is performed in a state where the condition device is in operation, but a short “fluctuation” of 0.8 seconds (see FIG. 23). Pattern C "is performed.

  At the end of the general map change n due to the entrance to the general map starting point, the number of times of normal map operation (change pattern C → 3 times) has been reached, so the change flag is set to “0” (FIG. 10). The processes of S326 and S327), and the subsequent fluctuations p caused by the entrance to the usual figure starting port are executed in any one of “variation patterns 1 to 5” based on “variation flag 0”. In this case, the usual figure variation p caused by the pitched game is one in which the gaming state is short in time, and is executed with the “variation pattern 5”.

FIG. 26 shows a display mode of the effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 when the game state shifts to a shorter time after the big hit game of the special figure. In the figure, 150 indicates an effect pseudo-pattern corresponding to the usual figure, and 151 indicates a bear Tatsuyoshi, which is the main character of the pachinko machine.
FIG. 26 (a) shows the time when the state has shifted to the short-time gaming state, and a “Tatsuyoshi Chance Start” display 152 notifies that fact.
FIG. 26B shows that the time-short game state is in progress, and the “Tatsuyoshi chance is continuing” display 153 is performed. Further, the chance continuation number display 154 is performed.
As shown in FIG. 26 (c), at the end of the short-time gaming state, a “Tatsuyoshi chance end” display 155 is displayed, and a continuous channel count display 156 is displayed.

According to the pachinko machine of this embodiment, when the normal drawing lottery is won, the fluctuation display time of the subsequent normal drawing is reduced over a predetermined number of times (the number of times of normal drawing operation), and the fluctuation display time is shortened by special fluctuation. Therefore, even if the special figure is a big hit game, and the fluctuation of the normal figure is started during the operation of the condition device, the normal figure hit game interval and the special figure big hit game interval can be shortened. It is possible to suppress the extension of the special game in which the big hit game of the game and the special figure continues. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a sense of speed, a player's sense of tension, and a sense of expectation, and to provide an amusement-rich game.
In addition, depending on the game state at the start of normal fluctuation (whether it is short or normal) and the type of the fixed figure of normal figure (whether symbol 1 or symbol 2), the fluctuation time due to the special fluctuation, the number of times the special fluctuation continues (general Since the number of times of operation (Figure) is changed, the variation time and the number of operations can be set in various ways, and the player is not bored.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, it can implement variously in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, two types of symbols, “designs 1 and 2”, are used for the normal figure. According to this, it is possible to set the variation time due to the special variation and the number of continuations of the special variation (number of times of normal operation) more finely. In addition, the reference point for confirming the game state for setting the variation pattern is not limited to the start of the variation of the ordinary diagram, but is set at the time of entering the ordinary diagram starting point or at the time of displaying the fixed symbol of the ordinary diagram. Also good.
