Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

One type of pachinko gaming machine performs a jackpot lottery when a game ball enters the start opening, and stops and displays a special symbol on the symbol display with a specific symbol when the jackpot is won. At this time, the decorative display of the decorative pattern of the image display device is displayed in accordance with the display of the special design, and is stopped at a set of three symbols such as “777”.
After the special symbol is stopped and displayed with the specific symbol, the normal gaming state shifts to the jackpot gaming state. During the big hit game period, the player can easily acquire a large number of game balls in a short time by making the big winning opening easy for the game balls to win.

The one type of pachinko gaming machine has a time-saving game function (hereinafter referred to as “time-saving game”) that increases the probability of establishment of a special symbol start condition. In a pachinko machine equipped with a short-time game function, a game ball can easily enter from a closed state in which a game ball is difficult to enter in addition to a start port that is always open (hereinafter referred to as “first start port”). Fluctuation winning device that can be changed to the open state, equipped with a second starting port called a so-called electric tulip (hereinafter referred to as "Electric Chu"). And it has become the composition which raised the winning rate of the game ball. The electric Chu is configured to open for a predetermined time when a normal symbol that fluctuates when the game ball passes through the gate stops in a predetermined hit state.
In addition, in a pachinko machine equipped with a first start port and a second start port, when a game ball enters the first or second start port during the special symbol variation display, it occurred when the ball entered. There is also a configuration in which four right to display the first or second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “holding ball”) can be held in the memory.

By the way, a pachinko machine equipped with a holding ball function, for example, when a maximum number (four) of holding balls are stored in the memory of the first starting port, when the gaming ball enters the first starting port, Since the reserved ball to be generated by the entry becomes invalid, some players release their hands from the launch handle to stop the launch of the game ball. In this case, there is a drawback that the operating rate of the gaming machine is lowered.
Therefore, when there are three or four hold balls at the first starting port stored in the memory in the past and the changing special symbol is a lost symbol, the change time of the special symbol is reserved. By setting the time shorter than the case of 0 to 2 balls, it is possible to prevent the reserved ball from becoming invalid as much as possible even if the player does not stop firing the game ball.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the reserved ball and the variation time of the special symbol in the pachinko gaming machine having the reserved ball function. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 20, it is assumed that a total of eight holds can be made with four each at the first starting port and the second starting port. Further, the first start port and the second start port are configured to preferentially digest the retained balls of the second start port.
In the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 20, when the number of reserved balls stored in the memory is 0 to 2 and the variation pattern of the special symbol to start variation is a reach-less loss, the variation time of the special symbol is calculated. Set to 13 seconds. On the other hand, if the number of reserved balls is 3 and the variation pattern of the special symbol that starts to change is losing without reach, the variation time of the special symbol is 8 seconds, and the number of reserved balls is 4 to 8 and the variation starts. When the variation pattern of the special symbol to be performed is a loss without reach, the variation time of the special symbol is set to 4 seconds.

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine having the holding ball function as shown in FIG. 20, for example, when the game ball is difficult to win at the first starting port during the short-time game, the first starting port is, for example, the left side area of the game board. When the second start opening is arranged in the right area of the game board, it is difficult for the game ball to win the first start opening during the short-time game. For this reason, when the number of reserved balls at the first start port is small or there is no reserved ball, for example, if there are four reserved balls at the first start port, the variation time of the second special symbol that ends in 4 seconds is 8 seconds. Or it becomes long to 13 seconds. As a result, there is a problem that the second special symbol cannot be digested efficiently.

Therefore, for example, in a pachinko gaming machine in which the first start port and the second start port are arranged in different game areas, the variation time is set according to the game state and the number of reserved pieces of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. It was.
FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the reserved ball and the variation time of the special symbol in a pachinko gaming machine in which the first start port and the second start port are arranged in different game areas. In the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 21, it is also possible to hold four pieces at each of the first start port and the second start port. Further, the first start port and the second start port are configured to preferentially digest the retained balls of the second start port.
In the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 21, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), during normal gaming, the number of reserved balls of the first special symbol stored in the memory is 0 to 2 and starts to change. If the variation pattern of the first special symbol is a lossless reach, the variation time is set to 13 seconds, and there are three reserved balls of the first special symbol and the variation pattern of the first special symbol that starts the variation has no reach. In the case of a loss, the change time is set to 8 seconds, and in the case where the change pattern of the first special symbol for starting change is 4 reach balls, the change time is set to 4 seconds. The second special symbol stored in the memory is set similarly.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), during the short-time game, if the variation pattern of the first special symbol that starts the variation is a lossless reach, all the variation times of the first special symbol are set to 13 seconds. . In addition, when the number of reserved balls of the second special symbol stored in the memory is 0 to 1 and the variation pattern of the second special symbol that starts the variation is the loss without reach, the variation time is set to 13 seconds. When the number of reserved 2 special symbols is 2 to 4 and the variation pattern of the second special symbol for which the variation starts is a loss without reach, the variation time is set to 2 seconds.
With this configuration, the variation time of the second special symbol during the short-time game can be set only by the number of reserved symbols of the second special symbol, regardless of the number of reserved symbols of the first special symbol. It becomes possible to digest.

As a prior art document, in Patent Document 1, a first start port and a second start port are provided in the game area, and when it is detected that a game ball has won the first start port, A gaming machine is disclosed in which a lottery is performed by the first lottery means, and a lottery is performed by the second lottery means when it is detected that a game ball is won at the second starting port.
Patent Document 2 discloses a pachinko gaming machine having a time-saving gaming function.

  By the way, in a conventional pachinko gaming machine equipped with a short-time game function, the opening time of the electric chew is set to an extremely short time during a normal game so that almost no game balls are won in the electric chew. In other words, it was configured so that the electric chew hardly functioned during the normal game, but in recent pachinko machines, the open time of the electric chew when the normal symbol stops in a hit state during the normal game ( For example, about 5 to 7 seconds), a new special game such as giving the player the right to display the second special symbol during normal game and the game ball winning to the electric chew. Proposed.

However, in the pachinko gaming machine having the above-described new bonus game function, when the variation time of the special symbol is set as shown in FIG. 21, the variation time of the second special symbol during the normal game becomes long. However, there is a problem that the second special symbol cannot be efficiently digested during the normal game.
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a pachinko gaming machine capable of efficiently digesting the right to change the second special symbol in a normal gaming state.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can be realized by the following modes.
In other words, the gaming machine of the first form wins from the first start opening for generating the right to start the variable display of the first special symbol when the game ball enters, and from the closed state where the game ball is difficult to win. A first opening that can be changed to an easily open state, and that generates a right to start the variable display of the second special symbol when the game ball enters, and a first that performs the variable display of the first special symbol. Special symbol variation display means, second special symbol variation display means for performing variation display of the second special symbol, and the first start when the first special symbol or the second special symbol variation display is being performed. A special symbol hold that stores the number of game balls that have entered the mouth and the second starting opening, and reserves the right to start the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol triggered by the entry. Fluctuation display by storage means and the first special symbol fluctuation display means Jackpot game execution means for executing a jackpot game when the second special symbol variably displayed by the first special symbol or the second special symbol variation display means is displayed in a stopped state with a predetermined jackpot symbol, and the jackpot game After the completion, it is determined whether or not a lottery for giving a bonus game with a higher probability of winning a game ball to the second starting port is won, and if the lottery is won, the bonus game is given A normal symbol display that displays a variation of the normal symbol based on the data for the normal symbol acquired when the bonus game granting means, the specific area through which the game ball can pass, and the passage of the game ball through the specific region and means, during normal game to the award game is not granted by the privilege game providing means, when said normal symbol of normal symbol display means is stopped and displayed at the first per symbol are first period, before Performing a first control to the second start hole in an open state, the during normal game, when said normal symbol is stopped and displayed in the second per symbol is longer than the first period of the second start hole second period, the second start hole control means the second start hole performs a second control that an open state, when the not the benefits game by privilege game providing means is assigned to the special symbol reservation storage unit The variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol when the total number of game balls stored in the game is greater than or equal to a predetermined number than when the total ball count is equal to or less than the predetermined number And variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern set to be short.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently digest the right to change the second special symbol.

An image display 11 is disposed almost at the center of the game board 10. The image display 11 is configured by a liquid crystal display panel such as a liquid crystal display device, for example, and displays a design image for production according to a special design, for example, a number design, an alphabet design, a character design, and the like. In a so-called reach state or special game state, an effect image or the like showing each game state is displayed. The reach state is a state in which, for example, when three symbol images are displayed as a symbol image for production, two symbol images are aligned among the three symbol images, and in the special gaming state, three symbol images are aligned. Refers to the state.
An upper start port (first start port) 13 is disposed at the lower center of the image display 11. When the game ball wins, the upper start opening 13 generates a right to variably display a first special symbol of a first special symbol display described later. For this reason, a first start port switch (SW) for detecting the entrance of a game ball is provided inside the upper start port 13.

Also, below the upper start opening 13, an electric chew 14 having a pair of left and right opening / closing claws (movable pieces) is arranged as a variable winning device. The electric Chu 14 functions as a second starting port, and generates a right to variably display a second special symbol on a second special symbol display 22 described later when a game ball wins. For this reason, a second start port switch (SW) for detecting the entry of a game ball is provided inside the electric chew 14.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a random number table from which various random numbers are acquired in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, where (a) is a jackpot random number table, (b) is a jackpot symbol random number table, and (c) is a reach random number table. , (D) is a diagram showing an example of a winning random number table, and (e) is an example of a winning symbol random number table.
The special symbol random number in the present embodiment is composed of a jackpot random number shown in FIG. 3A and a jackpot symbol random shown in FIG. Moreover, the random number of a normal symbol is comprised by the hit random number shown in FIG.3 (d).
In the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 3A, one random number value is acquired from 300 random numbers from “0” to “299”, for example, at the start opening prize.
In the case of the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 3A, in the low-probability gaming state (normal gaming state), the jackpot ratio is set to 1/300, for example, and the jackpot random number value is “3”. It is determined.
On the other hand, in the high-probability gaming state, the jackpot ratio is set to 10/300, ten times that of the low-probability gaming state, and the acquired jackpot random number values are “3”, “7”, “37”, “67”, “ It is determined that the jackpot is at "97", "127", "157", "187", "217", "247". In addition, in the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 3A, a lottery lottery, which is a type of lose, is also performed. Here, the small hit ratio is set to 3/300, and it is determined that the small hit is when the acquired big hit random value is “150”, “200”, “250”.

Next, in the jackpot symbol random number table shown in FIG. 3B, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249”. And based on the acquired jackpot symbol random number, any one jackpot is determined from a plurality of types of jackpots.
In this embodiment, five types of jackpots are prepared as a plurality of types of jackpots, for example, per length with normal time, short length with normal time, per length with high probability time, short per length with high probability time, and short per hour with high probability time. Has been.

In the case of a long win with a normal time, the opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the big hit game is long, so that a large amount of balls can be expected to be paid out, and the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game ends. This is a jackpot that grants a short-time game, and corresponds to the conventional “normal jackpot”.
The short win with a normal time is a period until the special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game ends, although the opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the big hit game is short and the payout of the outgoing ball can not be expected. This is a jackpot that grants a short-time game, and corresponds to the conventional “sudden jackpot”.

The long win with high probability time is a jackpot that gives both a high probability game and a short time game after the jackpot game ends, as well as a long time to open the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game can be expected This corresponds to the conventional “probability jackpot”.
The short win with high probability short-time is a big hit that grants both high-probability games and short-time games after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and the payout of the ball can not be expected. Is equivalent to
High probability short / short short hit is a big hit that grants a high probability game after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and expectation of payout of the ball is not expected. Equivalent to.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the upper start opening 13 and when a game ball enters the electric chew 14, the ratio selected for some types of jackpots Configured differently.
For example, the ratio at which the length per short time is normally selected is the same at 35/250 both when the game ball wins the upper start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric chew 14. Similarly, the ratio at which the short win with the normal time is selected is the same at 15/250 both when the game ball wins the upper start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), if the jackpot symbol random number acquired at the time of winning the first start opening or the electric chew is “0” to “34”, the normal per short length is selected. , “35” to “49”, the short hit with the normal time is selected.

On the other hand, the rate at which the per-long with high probability time and the short per-time with high probability are selected differs depending on whether the game ball has won the upper start opening 13 or the electric chew 14, for example, with high probability The ratio at which the long win is selected is 25/250 when a game ball wins the upper start port 13 and 175/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
In addition, the rate at which the short win with high probability is selected is 75/250 when a game ball wins the upper start port 13 and 25/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Further, the rate at which the high probability time short / short win is selected is 100/250 only when a game ball wins the upper start port 13.
Specifically, if the jackpot symbol random number obtained when the game ball is won at the top start opening is “50” to “74”, the long probability with high probability is selected, and “75” to “149” is selected. For example, a short hit with a high probability is selected, and if it is “150” to “249”, a short hit without a high probability is selected.
On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won by the electric chew is “50” to “224”, the long probability with a short time is selected, and if it is “225” to “249”. A short chance with a short time with high probability is selected.

  Here, when comparing the jackpot type selected at the time of winning the upper start opening and the time of winning the electric chew, the ratio per long length with high probability is 25/250 when winning the upper start opening. At the time of winning a chew, the ratio per length with high probability is 175/250, and at the time of winning an electric chew, the ratio at which the length with high probability is shortened is higher. When configured in this way, when the game state shifts to a gaming state in which the winning rate of the game ball to the second starting port is high, the probability of consecutive winning per length with high probability shortening becomes high, It is possible to achieve a game that can be expected and earned.

Further, when the top start opening prize is 100/250, the high probability short / short short ratio is not selected, while the high probability short / short short win is not selected. This is because the game ball is won at the second starting port in a game state where the game state is advantageous to the player, and if a high probability short / short short win is selected in this game state, Since the game is ended, the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous state for the player. In other words, even though the jackpot is won, the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous state for the player. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is configured not to select the high probability time short / short short win when the electric chew is won, thereby preventing the game state from being disadvantaged by the player.
Further, in the reach random number table shown in FIG. 3C, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249” when the start opening prize is received, and the acquired reach random number value is “ It is determined that there is a reach when it is “0” to “21” and that there is no reach when the acquired reach random number value is “22” to “249”.

In the hit random number table shown in FIG. 3D, one random number value is acquired from ten random numbers from “0” to “9” when passing through the gate.
In the case of the winning random number table shown in FIG. 3D, in the low probability (normal) gaming state, the winning ratio is set to 1/10, for example, and it is determined to be winning when the acquired winning random number value is “0”. The On the other hand, in the high probability gaming state, the winning ratio is set to 9/10, for example, and it is determined that the winning value is “0” to “8” when the acquired winning random number value is “0” to “8”.

Next, in the winning symbol random number table shown in FIG. 3E, one random number value is acquired from 100 random numbers from “0” to “99”. Then, based on the acquired winning symbol random number, either the first hit A or the second hit B is determined.
The first hit A is determined when the hit ratio is set to 99/100 and the acquired hit random numbers are “0” to “98”.
On the other hand, the second hit B is determined when the hit ratio is set to 1/100 and the acquired hit random number value is “99”.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the player plays a game aiming at the left area of the game board 10 in the normal gaming state. At this time, when a game ball wins in the upper start port 13 arranged in the lower center of the image display 11, a lottery such as a big hit random number, a big hit symbol random number, a reach random number, etc. is drawn on the game control board 111. Do. As a result of the lottery, if it is determined that the big win is won, the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 21 is stopped at a specific symbol, so that one of the above-mentioned long wins, short wins, or small wins A hit game is executed.
During the big hit game, the player plays the game by aiming at the big prize opening 16 of the big prize device provided below the game board 10, that is, aiming at the big prize opening 16 in the open state. In this way, you can win a ball.
Also, in the short-time game state after the jackpot game is over, the winning rate of the electric Chu 14 arranged on the game board 10 is higher than the normal game state, so that the player continues to play the right-handed game, Compared with the gaming state, the gaming efficiency can be greatly increased. Such a short-time game is continuously performed until the number of times the special symbol fluctuates reaches a preset number of times, or a big win is won again.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the game ball passes through the gates 15 arranged on the left and right sides of the game area of the game board 10, the game control board 111 receives a random number of hits per gate. If a lottery is performed and the first winning A is won as a result of the lottery, the first winning symbol 23 is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 23, and if the second winning B is won, the normal symbol display 23 is The symbol per 2 is stopped and displayed. Thereafter, a special game using the electric chew 14 is executed on the basis of the winning symbol displayed on the normal symbol display 23 and the gaming state.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation pattern of an electric chew in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the first winning A is won during a normal game without support by the electric chew 14 and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed at the first winning symbol, it is shown in FIG. Thus, the open / close control is performed to open the electric chew 14 for the first period (for example, 0.1 second). In this case, since the opening time of the electric chew 14 is extremely short, the player cannot obtain a privilege due to the opening of the electric chew 14.
On the other hand, when the first win A is won during the short-time game with the support of the electric chew 14 and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed at the first winning symbol, the electric chew 14 is displayed for the second period (for example, 2.7 seconds). Then, open / close control to make it open is performed. In this case, since the opening period of the electric chew 14 is longer than the first period described above, it is possible to increase the probability that the game ball wins the electric chew 14 during the short-time game than during the normal game.

In addition, when the second winning B is won during the normal game and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed with the second winning symbol, the electric chew 14 is displayed in the third period (for example, 3.5) as shown in FIG. Second), the opening / closing control to be in the open state is performed. In this case, the opening time of the electric chew 14 is sufficiently longer than the case where the first winning A is won during the normal game, so that a large number of game balls can be won in the electric chew 14.
In addition, when the second winning B is won during the short-time game and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed at the second winning symbol, the electric chew 14 is displayed in the fourth period (for example, 5.8) as shown in FIG. Second), the opening / closing control to be in the open state is performed. In this case, the opening time of the electric chew 14 is sufficiently longer than the case where the first winning A is won during the short-time game, so that a large number of game balls can be awarded to the electric chew 14.
It is needless to say that the opening times of the electric chews 14 in the first to fourth periods are merely examples, and can be set as appropriate.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the probability that the normal symbol wins A per first is higher in the short-time gaming state than in the normal gaming state, and the normal symbol is A per first. When the winning is won, the opening time of the electric chew 14 is longer in the short-time gaming state than in the normal gaming state. With this configuration, in the short-time gaming state, it becomes easy for a game ball to win the electric chew 14, and it is possible to easily acquire the right to change the second special symbol that can hardly be acquired in the normal gaming state. . However, in this case, the opening time of the electric chew 14 is set so that the player's ball does not increase due to the game ball winning the electric chew 14.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the normal symbol wins the second hit B regardless of the gaming state, the opening period of the electric chew 14 is longer than when the first hit A is won. It is composed. With this configuration, when the normal symbol is won at the second hit B, it becomes possible to make the electric chew 14 win a large number of game balls, so that the game is paid out as the game ball wins the electric chew 14. The player's ball can be increased by the game ball being played. That is, it is possible to realize a pachinko gaming machine that has a new privilege of increasing the player's ball in addition to the privilege of using the electric Chu 14 to acquire the right to change the second special symbol. become.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball is won in the electric chute 14, the probability of winning per length with a high probability time is higher than when a game ball is won in the upper start port 13. When a game ball is won in the electric chew 14 by a bonus game, there is an advantage that the player's expectation for jackpot can be increased compared to when the game ball wins in the upper start opening 13.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the reserved ball and the variation time of the special symbol in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment.
In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), during the normal game (without electric chew support), the first special symbol holding ball and second stored in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 When the total number of reserved balls of the special symbol is 0 to 2 and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol that starts the variation is the loss without reach, the variation time of the special symbol is set to 13 seconds. In addition, when the total number of the reserved balls is three and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol that starts the variation is the loss without reach, the variation time of the special symbol is 8 seconds, and the retained ball is 4 to 8 If the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol that starts to vary is a lossless reach, the variation time of the special symbol is set to 4 seconds.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, during the short-time game (with electric chew support), the first change starts regardless of the reserved number of the first special symbol stored in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111. When the variation pattern of one special symbol is a loss without reach, all the variation times of the first special symbol are set to 13 seconds.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the second special symbol holding ball stored in the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 has 0 to 1 holding balls of the second special symbol and changes. When the variation pattern of the second special symbol to be started is a lossless reach variation, the variation time is set to 13 seconds, the number of the second special symbol hold is 2 to 4, and the variation of the second special symbol to start variation When the pattern is lost without reach, the variation time is set to 2 seconds. Needless to say, the above-described variation time is merely an example, and can be changed as appropriate.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, during the normal game, as shown in FIG. 5A, the first special symbol and the first special symbol according to the total number of game balls stored in the RAM 114 are displayed. 2 Select the variation time (variation pattern) for variably displaying the special symbol. On the other hand, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed during the short-time game, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the game that has entered the upper start opening (first start opening) 13 stored in the RAM 114. A variation time for variably displaying the first special symbol is selected in accordance with the number of balls entered. In addition, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed during the short-time game, as shown in FIG. 5C, the game ball that has entered the electric chew (second start port) 14 stored in the RAM 114 The variation time for variably displaying the second special symbol is selected according to the number of balls entered.
With this configuration, the variation time of the second special symbol during the normal game is determined according to the total number of balls entered at the first starting port and the second starting port. Thus, the second special symbol can be digested. In other words, when the number of reserved first special symbols is large, the second special symbols can be efficiently digested in a short time. On the other hand, the variation time of the second special symbol during the short-time game is determined according to the number of balls entered at the second start opening regardless of the number of the first special symbol held, so the second special symbol can be efficiently digested. It becomes possible to do.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a ball entering the electric chew 14 is stored in the RAM 114, the variation display of the second special symbol triggered by the game ball entering the electric chew 14 is displayed. Since the right to start is selected with priority, and the special symbols to be variably displayed on the first or second special symbol indicators 21 and 22 are controlled, the time required for the game ball to easily enter the electric chew 14 is shortened. In the gaming state, there is an advantage that it is possible to efficiently digest the right to start the variable display of the second special symbol triggered by the entry of the game ball into the electric Chu 14.

  Hereinafter, processing executed by the game control device to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. Note that the processing described below can be realized by the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 executing a program stored in the ROM 113.

First, processing executed by the game control board 111 will be described.
[Timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of timer interruption processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 performs random number update processing (S10), switch processing (S20), symbol processing (S30), electric accessory processing (S40), prize ball processing (S50), output processing (S60), etc. as timer interruption processing. Run.

Next, various processes executed as the timer interrupt process will be described.
[Start-up SW processing]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the start port SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board. In this case, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the first start port SW13a of the upper start port 13 is on (S201), and if it is determined that the first start port SW13a is on, the first start port It is determined whether or not the hold number U1 of the SW 13a is smaller than “4” (S202).
If it is determined that the reserved number U1 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U1 (S203). Thereafter, the jackpot random number, jackpot symbol random number, reach random number, variation pattern random number, etc. for the special symbol are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S204). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the first special symbol holding lamp 24, a first holding number increase command is set (S205). If a negative result is obtained in step S202, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U1 is “4” which is the maximum holdable number, the process of steps S203 to S205 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S206.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the second start port SW14a of the electric Chu 14 is on (S206). If it is determined that the second start port SW14a is on, the second start port SW14a is determined. It is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 is less than “4” (S207). If it is determined that the reserved number U2 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U2 (S208). Thereafter, the jackpot random number, jackpot symbol random number, reach random number, variation pattern random number, etc. for the special symbol are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S209). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the second special symbol holding lamp 25, a second holding number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated.
If a negative result is obtained in step S207, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U2 is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, the start port SW process is terminated.

[Gate SW processing]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the gate SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the gate SW15a of the gate 15 is on (S221). If it is determined that the gate SW15a is on, whether or not the number of times the gate SW passes through the gate SW15a is less than “4”. Is discriminated (S222). If it is determined that the gate passing number G is less than “4”, “1” is added to the gate passing number G (S223), and a normal random number for the symbol is acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S224). Thereafter, the gate SW process is terminated.
If it is determined in step S221 that the gate SW 15a is not on, or if a negative result is obtained in step S222, that is, if it is determined that the gate passing number G is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, The gate SW process ends.

[Special symbol processing]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON, that is, whether or not the jackpot game is being played (S301). If it is determined that the jackpot game is not being played, the first special symbol indicator 21 or the second 2. It is determined whether or not the special symbol on the special symbol display 22 is changing (S302). If it is determined that the special symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 of the second starting port SW14a to be preferentially digested is greater than “1” (S303). If it is determined that the number is greater than “1”, “1” is subtracted from the reserved number U2 (S304).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S303 that the reserved number U2 is not ≧ 1, that is, if the reserved number U2 is “0”, whether or not the reserved number U1 of the first start port SW13a is larger than “1” next. Is determined (S305), and if it is determined that the reserved number U1 is larger than "1", "1" is subtracted from the reserved number U1 (S306).

Next, if the customer waiting flag is ON, the CPU 112 turns OFF (S307), and then executes a jackpot determination process described later (S308). After the jackpot determination process is executed, a later-described variation pattern selection process is executed (S309). After execution of the variation pattern selection process, symbol variation of the corresponding first special symbol display 21 or second special symbol display 22 is started and a special symbol variation start command is set (S310, S311). The special figure variation start command includes jackpot information, jackpot symbol information, reach information, variation pattern information, and the like.
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed the predetermined variation time (S312). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The fluctuation of the special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is stopped and a predetermined special symbol is displayed (S313). After that, a special figure variation stop command is set (S314), a stop process (S315) described later is executed, and the special symbol process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S301 that the winning game flag is ON, or if it is determined in step S312 that the variation time of the special symbol has not reached the predetermined variation time, the special symbol processing is terminated.
If it is determined in step S302 that the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S312 to determine whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed a predetermined variation time.
If it is determined in step S306 that the number of holdings U1 is not ≧ 1, that is, if it is determined that there is no holding of the holding numbers U1 and U2, it is executed in a customer waiting setting process described later (S316), and a special symbol is set. The process ends.

[Big hit judgment processing]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot determination process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines the jackpot random number stored in the RAM 114 (S321), and determines whether it is a jackpot in the subsequent step S322. Here, if it is determined that the jackpot, the jackpot symbol random number stored in the RAM 114 is determined (S323), and the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set based on the determination result. The jackpot symbol to be set is set (S324), and the jackpot determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S322 that the jackpot is not a big hit, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is based on a big hit random number (S325). Here, when it is determined that the jackpot is small, the jackpot symbol set in the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S326), and the jackpot determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step S325 that the winning combination is not a small hit, a lost symbol to be set in the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S327), and the big hit determination process is terminated.

[Variation pattern selection processing]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern selection process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the jackpot random number (S331), and if the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot, sets the jackpot table in the RAM 114 (S332).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S331 that it is not a big hit, then a reach random number is determined (S333), and it is determined whether or not it is a reach (S334). Here, if it is determined that it is a reach, the reach table is set in the RAM 114 (S335), and if it is determined that it is not a reach, it is determined whether or not a short-time game is being performed (S336).
If it is determined in step S336 that the game is not a time-saving game, in step S337 the first special symbol and the second special symbol as shown in FIG. The variation pattern table is set in the RAM 114, and the process proceeds to step S341.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S336 that the game is a short-time game, in the subsequent step S338, it is determined whether or not the variation is the first special symbol, and if it is determined that the variation is the first special symbol. In step S339, the second variation pattern table associating the number of first special symbols held and the variation time as shown in FIG. 5B is set in the RAM 114, and the process proceeds to step S341.
If it is determined in step S338 that the variation is not the first special symbol, in step S340, the third variation in which the number of the second special symbols as shown in FIG. 5C is associated with the variation time. The pattern table is set in the RAM 114, and the process proceeds to step S341.
Next, in step S341, the CPU 112 determines the previously obtained variation pattern random number, sets a variation pattern according to the variation pattern random number (S342), and ends the variation pattern selection process.

[Processing while stopped]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the stop process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S351), and if it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON, the CPU 112 sets “1” from the remaining time J of the time reduction game stored in the RAM 114. Subtraction is performed (S352).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is “0” (S353). If the remaining game count J is “0”, the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times in the short-time game. Since this means that it has been performed (for example, 100 times), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S354). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S355.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the high-accuracy flag is ON (S355). If it is determined that the high-accuracy flag is ON, the remaining number of games of the high-probability game stored in the RAM 114 is determined. “1” is subtracted from X (S356).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count X is “0” (S357). If the remaining game count X is “0”, a special symbol variation display is predetermined in the high-probability game. Since this means that the number of times (for example, 10,000 times) has been performed, the high-accuracy flag is turned OFF (S358). If it is determined in step S355 that the high-accuracy flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S357 that the remaining game number X is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S359.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the special symbol set on the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 (S359). Next, it is determined whether or not the set special symbol is “small hit” (S360). If it is determined that the bonus symbol is a small hit, the small hit game flag is turned ON (S361). . Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, a jackpot opening command is set (S362, S363), and the stop process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S360 that it is not a small hit, the in-stop process is terminated without turning on the small hit game flag.
If it is determined in step 359 that the jackpot is a jackpot, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot (S364). If it is determined that the jackpot is a jackpot, the name wins the game flag. If it is not ON (S365), the short hit flag is set ON (S366). Thereafter, the remaining number of games J for the short-time game and the remaining number X for the high-probability game are each set to “0”, and the remaining number of games J / X is reset (S367). It is turned off (S368). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S362.

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a customer waiting setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S371). If it is determined that the waiting flag is ON, the customer waiting setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S371 that the waiting flag is not ON, a customer waiting command is set and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S372, S373), and the customer waiting setting process is terminated.

[Normal pattern processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of normal symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not an auxiliary game flag indicating a privilege game is ON (S381), and when it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, the normal symbol processing is ended.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S381 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S382). Here, when it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the gate passing number G of the gate SW 15a is larger than “1” (S383), and the gate passing number G is larger than “1”. 1 subtracts “1” from the number of times of gate passage (S384), and if it is determined that the number of times of gate passage G is not greater than “1”, that is, “0”, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, the CPU 112 determines a normal random number per symbol (S385), and sets a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 23 and a variation time (S386, S387).
Here, for example, it is conceivable that the variation time is set to 4.0 seconds if the hour / hour flag is OFF, and 1.5 seconds if the hour / hour flag is ON.
Next, the CPU 112 starts the normal symbol variation and sets a common symbol variation start command (S388, S389).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed (S390). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, the CPU 112 stops the variation and the normal diagram variation stop command. Is set (S391, S392). If it is determined in step S390 that the normal symbol change time has not elapsed, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is a winning symbol (S393). If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S394), and the normal symbol processing is terminated. If the stop symbol is not a winning symbol in step S393, the normal symbol processing is terminated without turning on the auxiliary game flag.
If it is determined in step S382 that the normal symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S390, where it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation time has passed a predetermined variation time.

[Large winning prize processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the big prize opening process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (S411). If it is determined that the jackpot game flag is ON, the CPU 112 determines whether or not it is opening (S412). If it is determined that the jackpot opening is in progress, it is then determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S413). If it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S414).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a setting example of the number of rounds / actuation pattern. When the jackpot is a long hit, the number of rounds (R number) is 15R, and the action pattern in 1R is released for 29.5 seconds. Set once. If the big hit is a short hit, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R, the operating pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second open x 1 time, and if the big hit is a small hit, the short As in the case of winning, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R, and the operation pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second opening × 1 time.

Next, the CPU 112 sets “0” to the number counter C1 indicating the number of winnings per round to the big winning opening 16, and adds “1” to the value of the number of rounds R (S415, S416). Thereafter, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is started. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the closed state to the open state (S417).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has passed the predetermined operating time (S418), and if it is determined that the operating time has not passed the predetermined time, It is determined whether or not the value of the counter C has reached the specified number (S419).
Here, when it is determined that the value of the number counter C is the specified number C, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is ended. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the open state to the closed state (S420).
On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the number counter C has not reached the specified number, the big prize opening process is terminated.
In step S418, if the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has exceeded the predetermined operating time, the process of step S419 is skipped, and the number of the special winning opening 16 is checked without checking the number of the number counter C. The operation is terminated (S420).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot round number is the maximum round number R. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit round is the final round (S421).
Here, when it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, ending is started and an ending command is set (S422, S423).
Next, the CPU 112 sets the value of the number of rounds R to “0” (S424). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the ending time has passed (S425). If it is determined that the ending time has passed, a game state setting process described later is executed (S426), and the jackpot flag is turned OFF ( S427), the big prize opening process is terminated.

In step S412, if it is determined that the jackpot opening is not in progress, it is determined whether or not ending is in progress (S428). If it is determined that ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S425 and is not in ending. Is determined, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening is in operation (S429).
If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is in operation, the process proceeds to step S418. If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is not in operation, the process proceeds to step S415.
If it is determined in step S413 that the opening time has not elapsed, or if it is determined in step S419 that the value of the number counter C1 has not reached the specified number, in step S421, the big hit round is not the final round. If it is determined, or if it is determined in step S425 that the ending time has not elapsed, the special winning opening process is terminated.

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of a game state setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 first determines whether or not it is a small hit (S431), and if it is determined that it is a small hit, the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not a small hit, it is next determined whether or not it is a normal length (per length with a low probability) (S432). Is set to ON, and for example, “100” is set to the remaining game count J of the short-time game (S433, S434), and the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S432 that it is not a normal long win, it is a big hit to give a high-probability game, so the high-accuracy flag is turned on and the remaining game count X of the high-precision game is set to, for example, “10000”. Set (S435, S436).
Next, it is determined whether or not the hit is with a short time (S437). If it is determined that the win is with a short time, the time flag is set to ON and the remaining game count J of the short time game is set to, for example, “ 100 "is set (S438, S439), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S437 that the time-shortening is not reached, the time-shortening flag is turned OFF, the remaining game count J of the time-shortening game is reset (S440, S441), and the game state setting process is terminated.

[Den Chu processing]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of electric chew processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S511). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, it is next determined whether or not the electric chew 14 is operating. This is performed (S512). Here, if the electric chew 14 is not in operation, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set according to the gaming state (S513), and the operation of the electric chew 14 is started (S514).

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of setting the operation pattern of the electric chew. In the normal game, when the normal symbol wins A per first, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is released for 0.1 second. Set once. Also, during the short-time game, when the normal symbol is won for the first A, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set to 2.7 seconds open × 1 time.
On the other hand, when the normal symbol is won in the second hit B during the normal game, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set to 3.5 seconds open × 1 time. Also, during the short-time game, when the normal symbol wins B per second, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set to 5.8 seconds open × 1 time.
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 14 has passed a predetermined operation time (S515). If it is determined that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has elapsed, an auxiliary game flag is set. It is turned off (S516), and the electric Chu process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S512 that the electric chew 14 is operating, the process proceeds to step S515. If it is determined in step S511 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S515 that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has not elapsed, the electric chew process is terminated.
