Description

On the pachinko gaming machine.

  A conventional pachinko gaming machine called the second type has a start opening and a variable winning opening having a specific area inside in the game area. Then, the variable winning opening is opened and closed for a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time based on the entrance to the starting opening (hereinafter, this operation may be referred to as “hit transition opportunity granting game”), When a ball passes a specific area in the variable prize opening, a big hit (special game) is executed for a predetermined number of unit games in which the variable prize opening or a variable prize opening provided separately from the ball is opened (or opened / closed) under a predetermined condition. ). Here, many of the conventional second-class pachinko gaming machines have a plurality of start openings capable of executing a plurality of patterns of jackpot transition opportunity granting games having different jackpot transition expectations. Specifically, when a game ball enters a certain start opening, the number of opening and closing times and opening times of the variable winning opening in the game for giving a big hit transition opportunity is compared to when a game ball enters another start opening. (For example, when a game ball enters the starting opening provided on both sides of the gaming area, the variable winning opening opens and closes only once, and is provided at the center of the gaming area. When a game ball enters the starting opening, the variable winning opening is opened and closed twice). However, due to the complexity of the game content compared with the first type, the number of models and the number of installed devices in the market are decreasing in recent years compared to the first type.

  Under such circumstances, a so-called small hit development jackpot type pachinko gaming machine has recently appeared that achieves the conventional second type of game in spite of the conventional first type of game content. The contents of this game will be described. Like the conventional first-class pachinko gaming machine, the identification information such as special symbols fluctuates based on the game ball entering the starting port. And when the said identification information stops in a predetermined mode, a variable prize opening is open | released similarly to the conventional 1st type pachinko gaming machine. However, the difference from the conventional first-class gaming machines is that the majority of them are small hits (small hits where the ball can hardly be expected), and the small hits are the above-mentioned conventional second-class pachinko gaming machines. It has a function corresponding to the “big hit transition opportunity grant game”. In other words, when a game ball that has entered the variable winning opening at the time of the big hit transition opportunity grant game enters a specific area in the variable winning opening, it ranks up to the big hit that can win the ball from the small win is there.

Here, in the conventional small hit development big hit type first-class first-class compound pachinko gaming machine, the gaming characteristics in the conventional first-class first pachinko gaming machine and the gaming characteristics in the conventional second-class pachinko gaming machine, There is a game machine that is clearly divided based on the difference in the starting opening. For example, when a ball enters the first starting port according to the first special symbol, no small hit occurs, and it is based on a ball entering the first starting port, similar to the game play in the first type pachinko gaming machine. A big hit occurs when the identification information of the first special symbol is in a predetermined mode. On the other hand, when the ball enters the second starting port related to the second special symbol, the majority is a small hit, and as with the game play in the second type pachinko machine, the big hit can be obtained from the small hit Rank up. Here, a variable winning opening is provided at the second starting opening, and it is easy to enter the ball only when the variable winning opening is in the open state, and when the variable winning opening is in the closed state, it is possible to enter. It is configured to be difficult to ball. And, only when the identification information of the first special symbol is a big hit related to the transition to the specific gaming state, the variable winning opening is shifted to a state that is likely to be in the open state in the specific gaming state after the big hit. Therefore, it is configured to provide an opportunity to rank up to a big hit that can win a ball from a small hit.

Here, the meaning of each term in this specification is explained. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a case where a prize ball is paid out but also a passage of a “through chucker” without a prize ball being paid out. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and may include, for example, numbers, letters, symbols, etc. (for example, special symbols in the main game and normal in the auxiliary game) In the case of symbols and side games, decorative symbols and blank symbols). “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are called one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). Here, the “first random number for main game” and the “second random number for main game” in the claims mean at least a winning random number. “Satisfaction of variation start condition” means, for example, that a special game is not being played and that identification information is not being changed. Even if different terms are used, they do not necessarily mean different members. For example, in the case where the distribution device functions as a variable prize opening that is opened during a special game, the distribution device is both a “distribution device” and a “variable prize opening”. “Variable member that can be in an open state and a closed state” means at least an open state (when the variable member is in the state, the main game start port can enter the ball) and a closed state (the variable member is in the state). In some cases, the displacement mode is not particularly limited as long as the main game start port is displaceable (becomes impossible or difficult to enter). As the displacement mode, a so-called well-known “electric tulip” or a variable member in which the open state protrudes toward the player and the closed state is retracted with respect to the player (for example, the well-known “velo type” Electric accessories "). In addition, the easy entry game mode in one easy entry game includes a mode in which the variable member continues to open and a mode in which the variable member opens and closes multiple times. “Easy-to-play game execution time per unit time” refers to the time-reduced game for normal symbol variation, the probability variation game for normal symbol variation, and the easy-entry ball game state (open extended state) for variable members. It may be executed based on only one of the three factors, or may be executed based on any combination of the respective factors. “Special game transition opportunity granting game is being executed” means not only when the control process related to the opening / closing operation of the distribution means is being executed, but also for a predetermined period after the completion of the control process related to the opening / closing operation of the distribution means (For example, the waiting time for discharging the game ball that has entered the sorting means, the so-called opening / closing demo time of the opening / closing operation, etc.) or a predetermined period (for example, hitting) before the execution of the control processing related to the opening / closing operation of the sorting means This is a concept including a fixed display period of symbols, a so-called opening / closing operation start demonstration time, and the like. “First specific mode” and “second specific mode” are classification methods of a predetermined mode, but the type of winning (big hit, small hit), attributes (probable big hit, short-time big hit) and special game content ( This is a classification method that is not limited in any way to the number of rounds and the opening / closing mode of the big prize opening. The best mode of the present invention will be described below. The following best mode is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko machines (with small hit development) are mixed (type 1 type 1 small hit development combined machine). However, it is not limited at all to the first type first type small hit development multifunctional machine according to the best mode, and other gaming machines {for example, pachinko gaming machines (for example, conventional first type, second type, third type) Species etc.) can also be within the scope of the present invention. In addition, it is the best mode, and the following aspects regarding the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to. Furthermore, the above-described best modes and modified examples should not be construed as being limited to being applied to specific items, and may be in any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification of one best mode is a modification of another best mode, and even if one modification and another modification are described independently, It should be understood that a combination of the modified example and another modified example is also described. In the best mode, there are a lottery table and a reference table for various tables. However, these are not limited, and the lottery table may be a reference table or vice versa.

Here, the guidance device 2334 is composed of one valve member, and when the sorting device electric accessory 2333 is in a closed state, the valve member is in a lowered state (position indicated by a solid line in the drawing). On the other hand, triggered by the fact that the sorter electric accessory 2333 is in the open state, the valve member is displaced to the raised state (the position indicated by the broken line in the figure), and the open state of the sorter electric accessory 2333 After a lapse of a predetermined period (for example, 0.4 seconds), the state is shifted to a lowered state. Here, when the valve member is in the raised state, the game ball that has flowed down is guided to the specific area 2331a, but when it is in the lowered state, the game ball that has flowed down enters the normal area 2332a. The sorting device electric accessory 2333 is variable to the sorting device 2330 between a normal state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win (solid line in the drawing) and an open state in which the game ball is easy to win (dotted line in the drawing). To do. In this best mode, a ball entrance called a normal area is provided in the distribution device, but the normal area is not provided in the distribution device, and it is configured to be discharged to a game area outside the distribution device. (Even in this case, it is preferable to provide a detection means capable of confirming that the game ball has been discharged from the sorting apparatus). Further, in this best mode, displacement [in this best mode is a mode of rotational displacement with respect to an axis, but a mode of displacement in the vertical direction, a mode of displacement in the horizontal direction, a mode of displacement in the front-rear direction (for example, velocities). (Such as displacement of a member), a mode of rotational displacement {for example, a circular member provided with a hole is revolved (for example, counterclockwise), and when the hole is at a predetermined position (for example, 2 o'clock), a game ball is received and downstream In any manner, any combination of two or more of these] is provided, but a configuration in which no guiding member is present (for example, depending on the rolling mode of the game ball) A mode like a so-called “Kroon” distributed to any one of a plurality of holes). Furthermore, in this best mode, the specific area is in a fixed position, but the specific area may be movable {for example, one of the outer circumferences of the rotating member that rotates from the power-on. A mode in which a specific area is provided in the section and the game ball is flown into the specific area when the game ball flows down at a predetermined position (for example, a position at 12 o'clock). Furthermore, regarding the timing at which the guide member is at a position where the game ball can be guided to a specific area, it is only the first half of the period until the sorting device electric accessory is opened and closed {eg, opened. It becomes a position that can be continuously guided to a specific area for a predetermined period from the time it is opened and becomes a position that can be guided to a specific area intermittently (for example, the valve member repeatedly opens and closes) after being opened} Is preferred. This is to prevent aiming at a specific area after confirming that the small hit symbol is advantageous to the player after confirming the small hit symbol.

  Next, the first special figure starting port 2210 is installed as a starting winning port corresponding to the first game. As a specific configuration, the first special figure start opening 2210 includes a first special figure start opening entrance detection device 2211.

Is generated. The first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 makes the first big prize opening 2120 variable in the first big prize opening 2120 in a normal state where a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win and an open state where a game ball is easy to win. In this best mode, there is one big prize opening. However, a special game based on the first game and a special game based on the second game are executed in separate big prize openings. It may be. In the present specification, the terms “sorting device” and “big prize opening” are distinguished from each other. However, in this industry, “sorting device” is recognized as “big prize opening”. In this best mode, the “distribution device” is opened at the time of a small hit, and the “big prize opening” is opened at the time of a big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a “sorting device” may be used as a part of a plurality of “big prize opening” at the time of a big hit (in this case, for example, the “sorting device” is a “big prize opening” only in the case of a big hit big hit. Alternatively, the “big prize opening” may be the “sorting device” only, and the “sorting device” may be used as the “big prize opening” in all cases of small hits and big wins. In any case, when the “sorting device” is in an open state at the time of a big hit, this “sorting device” becomes the “big prize opening” in this specification.

  Next, the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230) performs variable display and stop display of the first special symbol (second special symbol) corresponding to the first game (second game). .

The main controller 1000 and the like are configured by hardware such as ROM and RAM for storing data and programs, and elements such as a CPU used for arithmetic processing. In the following description, each means included in the main controller 1000 may be configured to be mounted on a peripheral device (for example, the game peripheral device 2000). For example, in the best mode, the main controller 1000 is provided with a payout control function, but may be configured so as to be provided in the prize ball payout device 3000, for example. Similarly, each means included in the peripheral device (for example, the game peripheral device 2000) may be configured to be mounted on the main controller 1000. The details of each means (device) will be described below.

  First, the main control device 1000 includes a game control means 1100 for controlling the main game (first game, second game, special game), auxiliary game, and general game, and various game information {e.g. , Stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information (eg, time reduction variation big hit, small hit, special mode loss, non-special mode loss), information on the variation mode (eg, variable time), start of special game Information transmission means 1300 for transmitting signal / status information / end signal, hold information, etc., and a prize ball payout control device 3000 so as to pay out predetermined prize balls based on the winning of game balls to various prize openings. And a prize ball payout determining means 1400 for controlling.

  Here, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not each random number can be acquired by determining whether or not each ball can be acquired, and whether or not the ball determination means 1110 determines whether the game ball flows into each ball entrance (starting port, etc.). A random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 for acquiring each random number; a hold control means 1130 for temporarily storing the ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210 during the fluctuation display as a hold ball within the upper limit number; Whether or not to win based on a first game content determination random number and a second game content determination random number (winning random number), which will be described later, a success / failure lottery means 1135, and first and second special symbol variation start conditions { The symbol change start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 for determining whether or not the special game is not being played, the special symbol is not changing, etc.}, and the stop symbol and the change mode of each symbol based on each random number ( Strange Symbol content determining means 1140 for determining the time and the like, display control means 1150 for performing control to change and stop each symbol, and the second special figure starting port motor of the second special diagram starting port 2110 An electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 for performing various processes directly related to the opening / closing determination of the object 2112 and a special game for controlling each special game (big hit game, small hit game) advantageous to the player over the normal game Specific game control for controlling the control means 1170 and determining the game state to which the current game state is to be transferred with respect to the first game, the second game, and the auxiliary game, and processing for changing the game state based on the determination Means 1180 and current gaming state [eg, state relating to main game {normal gaming state, specific gaming state (time-reduced gaming state), special gaming state, special gaming state}, auxiliary gaming Related states (time-reduced gaming state, special gaming state), stop symbols and variation mode information related to special symbols, on / off status of various flags, gaming state during special games (for example, number of rounds and winning numbers), etc. A game state temporary storage means 1190 for performing the game. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the entry determination means 1110 is directed to the first special figure start opening entrance determination means 1111 and the second special figure start opening 2110 for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first special figure start opening 2210. 2nd special figure start opening entrance judging means 1112 for judging whether or not a game ball has entered, and a general figure start entrance entrance judging means for judging whether or not a game ball has flowed into the general start opening 2410 1113.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not to acquire the first game content determination random number based on the game ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210, and according to the determination result, A first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 for acquiring random numbers (for example, a first winning random number, a first variation mode determining random number, a first special symbol determining random number, etc.) and a game ball to the second special figure starting port 2110 It is determined whether or not the second game content determination random number is acquired on the basis of the incoming game, and the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determining random number, the second special symbol determining random number is determined according to the determination result) Etc.) and a normal figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 for determining whether or not the normal symbol winning random number can be acquired and acquiring the random number based on the determination result; have.

  Here, the “random numbers” in the claims and the present specification including the above are, for example, “0” to “65535” (winning random numbers) or “0” to “255” ( It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as (variation mode determination random number). The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like.

  Next, the hold control unit 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the first game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the first special symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is determined as a symbol. Whether to temporarily store the first special figure holding means 1132 for holding in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a until the change permission is granted, and the normal symbol winning random number acquired in the situation where the normal symbol change permission is not given It is determined whether or not, and based on the determination result, the random number hold means 1133 for holding the random number in the temporary figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a until the symbol variation permission is granted. In the best mode, there is no hold regarding the second special symbol. Here, the first special figure holding means 1132 and the universal figure holding means 1133 are capable of storing a maximum of four, and the first special figure holding information temporary storage for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order. Means 1132a and usual figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a are provided. Furthermore, in addition to the random number, the first special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1132a temporarily stores information related to the order in which the hold of the random number is released.

Next, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 makes a decision to shift to a special game (big hit, small hit) if the winning lottery result is a win (for example, the hit flag is turned on internally), and the small win A special game transition determining means 1135a for determining a transition to a special game (big hit) when a game ball passes a specific area 2331a during a game, a winning / losing lottery table 1135b referred to when performing a winning / failing lottery, have. Here, the success / failure lottery table 1135b includes a first special symbol success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 which is referred to when performing a big hit lottery regarding the first special symbol, and a big hit / small bonus lottery regarding the second special symbol. And a second special figure use lottery table 1135b-3 which is referred to when performing. In this best mode, there is only one special-use winning / failing lottery table, but in addition to the normal gaming state, there is also a probability variable gaming state in which a big win (small hit) lottery is performed with a higher lottery probability than the normal gaming state. With respect to the case of having the aspect having, it is configured to have a low probability lottery table used in the normal gaming state (time-reduced gaming state) and a high probability lottery table used in the probability varying gaming state. The Here, Table 1 is an example of the success / failure lottery table 1135b. As can be seen from Table 1, in the best mode, the first special symbol is configured not to be a small hit, and the second special symbol is configured to be a small hit most. In the best mode, since the probability variation function of the special symbol is not provided, the jackpot probability in the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a predetermined probability. In the best mode, the big hit and the small hit are configured in the same table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit and the small hit may be determined in different tables. For example, the big hit lottery table is used for the big hit lottery table, and when the big hit lottery table is removed, the small hit lottery table is used for the small hit lottery table.

  Next, the symbol content determination means 1140 determines the first special symbol content determination that determines the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the first special symbol based on the acquired first game content determination random number (first random number). Means 1141, second special figure content determining means 1142 for determining the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the second special symbol based on the acquired second game content determination random number (second random number), and There is a general symbol content determining means 1143 for determining a stop symbol of the normal symbol based on the normal symbol winning random number.

  Here, the 1st special figure content determination means 1141 has the 1st special figure content determination lottery table 1141a referred when determining the stop symbol and fluctuation mode which concern on a 1st special symbol, The 1 special figure content determination lottery table 1141a is based on the first special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a which is referred to when determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol based on the success / failure result, and the success / failure result and the game state. A first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (for example, a normal game → normal game first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2, which is referred to when determining the variation mode of the first special symbol. −1, time shortening game → short time game first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2-2). The second special figure content determination means 1142 has a second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a that is referred to when determining the stop symbol and the variation mode related to the second special symbol. The special figure content determination lottery table 1142a is based on the second special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a which is referred to when determining the stop symbol of the second special symbol based on the result of success / failure, and based on the result of success / failure and the game state. 2nd special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2 (for example, normal game → normal game second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2-) referred to when determining the variation mode of the 2 special symbols 1. Time-saving game → Time-short game time second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2-2).

Here, Table 2 is an example of a stop symbol determination table in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a). Here, in this best mode, there are two types of jackpot symbols (first group and second group). As will be described later, the jackpot symbols of the first group (predetermined modes “1A”, “1B”, “5A”). "" 5B ") is selected, when determining the variation mode related to the jackpot of the first group, it is configured to refer to the same table as the table that determines the variation mode at the time of loss Yes. In addition, in the 1st special symbol, since the small hit does not occur, it is supplemented that there is no stop symbol determination lottery table for the small hit symbol.

Next, Table 3 shows an example of the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. Here, as can be seen from the table, the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2 in the best mode have three major characteristics. The features are: (1) the fact that there are a plurality of variation modes with different variation times as the variation mode at the time of the small hit of the second special symbol at the time shortening game, and (2) the big hit of the first group The table for determining the variation mode and the table for determining the variation mode at the time of losing are the same table (refer to the bold portion in the table), (3) at the time of the small special hit of the second special symbol in the normal game The table for determining the variation mode does not exist independently.

  Therefore, first, the feature (1) will be described. In the best mode, in the time-saving game, as described above, the firing handle 116 is operated to set the firing strength so that the game ball flows down the right side of the game area 120 ( By so-called right hitting and rubber hitting, the game ball enters the normal start port 2410 → the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 is displaced → the game ball enters the second special figure start port 2110 A series of operations such as entering a ball is easily performed. In addition, since the second special symbol is configured so that the majority is a small hit, after the game ball enters the second special symbol start port 2110, the symbol variation of the second special symbol → small hit A series of operations in which the generation → distributing device electric accessory 2333 is displaced to the open state is performed for each symbol variation of the second special symbol. Then, triggered by the fact that the sorter electric accessory 2333 is displaced to the open state, the guide device 2334 (valve member) in the sorter electric accessory 2333 is raised for a predetermined period, and the game ball is moved to the specific area 2331a. The guidance device 2334 (valve member) is lowered after a predetermined period of time, and guides the game ball to the normal area 2332a. Here, when the guided game ball enters the normal area 2332a, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out although no big hit occurs. Under such a configuration, a series of operations in which the symbol variation of the second special symbol → the occurrence of small hits → the distribution device electric accessory 2333 is moved to the open state is executed at substantially the same timing for each operation. In this case, since it becomes easy to predict the timing when the subsequent guiding device 2334 (valve member) is in the lowered state at the start of the symbol variation of the second special symbol, the guiding device 2334 (valve member) is in the lowered state. It is possible to adjust the launch timing of the game ball (so-called stop hitting) so that the game ball enters the sorting device electric accessory 2333 at the estimated timing. That is, by adjusting the launch timing of the game ball, the occurrence of the big hit is delayed, and the number of balls to be increased by paying out the prize ball even if the big hit has not occurred (so-called stop strike strategy) There is a risk of being made. Therefore, in this best mode, in order to avoid such a situation, a plurality of variation modes having different variation times are provided as variation modes at the time of small hit of the second special symbol in the time-saving game, and the second special symbol pattern is provided. A series of operations of fluctuation → small hit generation → sorting device electric accessory 2333 being displaced to the open state is avoided from being executed at substantially the same timing for each operation.

  Next, the feature (2) will be described. In a typical pachinko gaming machine, a variation mode having a long variation time is easily selected at the time of a big hit, and a variation mode having a long variation time is not easily selected at the time of a loss. In addition, as the variation time becomes longer, the expectation for the big hit is increased. Under such a configuration, when the variation time is short, the expectation for the big hit inevitably decreases significantly, and there is a possibility that the player may feel frustrated. Therefore, in the best mode, the big hit symbol is classified into two types (first group and second group), and when determining the fluctuation mode related to the big hit of the first group, a table for determining the fluctuation mode at the time of loss. By referring to the same table, it is possible to mitigate that the expectation to the big hit is significantly lowered when the variation time is short. In addition, since the table for determining the variation mode related to the big hit of the first group and the table for determining the variation mode at the time of losing are shared, when the variation mode related to the big hit of the first group is determined There is no need to provide a separate table. In this best mode, as the first group, a special game in a low profit state with fewer balls than the second group (that is, the nature of the round is short, the number of rounds is small, or both) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a special game that can be expected to be the same as the second group may be designated as the first group (for example, “3A” in this example is the first game). 1 group, “7A” and 2nd group), and so-called sudden probability fluctuation big hits that are not provided in this best mode (the round time is shorter and the number of rounds is shorter than the normal big hits, and the big hit ends) The first group may be a jackpot that will shift to a high-probability lottery game state with a higher probability of winning later than normal, and even a small jackpot (one round of round time is shorter than that of the normal jackpot). The first group It may be.

  Next, the characteristic (3) will be described. In the gameability (small hit development big hit) in the best mode, since the small hit is not generated in the normal game, the symbol variation of the second special symbol is performed in the normal game. It is designed on the premise that the player is allowed to play the game (in this example, the player does not make a right turn). Here, contrary to the intention of the design, by playing the game so that the second special symbol changes during normal games (in this example, right-handed), a game that significantly exceeds the design value can be derived. Can be considered. In order to avoid such a situation, in order to make it difficult for the player to grasp the timing of stoppage of the symbol variation related to the small hits from the start of symbol variation of the second special symbol during normal gaming, the variation mode (variation time) It is necessary to design so as not to aim at the small hitting development big hit by having many types and making the changing mode greatly different for each symbol change. However, as described above, under the situation where the game is played as designed, the second special symbol does not change during normal games (although it is rare), this situation In order to avoid the problem, the provision of the variable time determining table related to the small special symbol of the second special symbol at the time of the normal game will press the storage area on the main control side. Therefore, in this best mode, a table for determining the variation mode related to the small hit symbol of the second special symbol during the normal game is not provided independently, and the variation mode determination related to the symbol variation of the first special symbol during the normal game is determined. It is configured to reference a table. In this example, the table for determining the variation mode at the time of big hit and loss of the second special symbol in the normal game is configured to be provided independently, but is not limited to this. Even when the second special symbol is big hit and lost, the change mode determination table related to the symbol variation of the first special symbol during normal game may be referred to. In that case, it may be configured such that only the shortest variation mode (variation time) is selected or easily selected at the time of losing, which is preferable in that the game progress of the first special symbol during normal game is not hindered. It is. In addition, at the time of big hit, it may be configured such that only the fluctuation time at the big hit related to the symbol fluctuation of the first special symbol is selected or easily selected. Further, in this example, the variation mode determination table related to the symbol variation of the first special symbol includes the variation mode determination table related to the second group big hit and the variation mode determination table related to the first group big hit and lost times. However, any table may be referred to when determining the variation mode related to the small hit symbol of the second special symbol in the normal game. In other words, any table can be configured as long as it is a table having a plurality of variation modes. Furthermore, in this best mode, the first special symbol variation mode determination table in the special figure short game is configured to select only one variation time, but a plurality of variation times can be selected. If constituted in this way, it is good also as a form which refers to the table for losing (or winning) of the 1st special symbol at the time-short game state instead of the normal game state. In addition, in this best mode, the first special symbol variation mode determination table is divided into the normal game state and the short-time game state, but the lose (or winning) table is not divided according to the game state. For example, a table for losing (or winning) regardless of the gaming state may be referred to.

Next, Table 4 is an example of a lottery table 1143a-1 for determining a general symbol stop symbol. Here, as can be seen from the table, the winning probability of the normal symbol (the probability that the winning symbol is selected is the same) is configured to be the same in the normal game and the time-reduced game. However, the winning probability in the normal game short game may be configured to be higher than the winning probability in the normal game normal game.

Next, Table 5 is an example of a drawing change mode determination lottery table 1143a-2. Here, the drawing variation mode determination lottery table 1143a-2 in the best mode has two major characteristics. The features are as follows: (1) The variation mode in the time reduction game of the normal symbol has a plurality of types of variation modes having different variation times. (2) The variation time in the time reduction game of the normal symbol The minimum time value is that a value sufficient to satisfy the variation start condition of the second special symbol is set when the time value elapses.

  First, the feature (1) will be described. This purpose is the purpose of the feature (1) in the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. This is similar to the above, and by adjusting the timing of launching the game ball, the occurrence of the big hit is delayed, and the number of balls to be thrown out is increased by paying out the prize ball even if the big hit has not occurred (so-called stop shooting strategy) ) Is avoided. That is, a series of operations of entering a game ball into the normal start port 2410 → displacement of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 → entering a game ball into the second special figure start port 2110 This avoids being executed at substantially the same timing for each operation.

  Next, the feature (2) will be described. In the best mode, for the second special symbol related to the second game, when the second special symbol variation condition is not satisfied, the game is sent to the second special symbol start port 2110. Even if a sphere enters the ball, the random number is not acquired and temporarily stored in a form of holding the random number. In the best mode, in the time-saving game, (A) a game ball enters the general figure start opening 2410 → (B) the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is displaced → (C) It is easy to perform a series of operations such as entering a game ball into the 2 special figure starting port 2110. After the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110, (D) the second special symbol pattern Fluctuation → (E) Small hit occurrence (time from when the symbol is fixed and stopped until the distribution device is opened → “Display fixed time (special game execution flag is off)” or “Big hit start demonstration time (special game) The execution flag is turned on))) → (F) A series of operations in which the distribution device electric accessory 2333 is displaced to the open state and is displaced to the closed state after a predetermined period of time is performed almost every symbol variation of the second special symbol. . Here, the case where the second special symbol variation condition is not satisfied means that (D) to (F) + (α) {the distribution device electric combination 2333 is moved to the closed state, and then the distribution device electric combination. 2333 is a predetermined waiting time (or a small hit end demo time)}. That is, even if the operations (A) to (C) related to the next second special symbol variation are completed within the period (D) to (F) + (α), the next second special The symbol variation of the symbol is not started (so-called fogging). Therefore, in this best mode, at the time of the operation of (C) related to the next variation of the second special symbol, in order to ensure that the period of (α) has ended, the symbol of the next second special symbol is guaranteed. When the period of (A) to (B) related to the fluctuation has elapsed, in other words, when the fluctuation time has elapsed in the normal symbol time-reducing game, a time value sufficient to end the period of (α) is set. It is. Although the method for calculating the variation time during the time reduction game of the normal symbol is not particularly limited, in the best mode, “the minimum time value of the variation time during the time reduction game of the normal symbol (in this example, 3. 2 seconds) ”≧ (D)“ Maximum time value of the variation time at the time of small hit in the second special symbol time reduction game (1.6 seconds in this example) ”+ (E)“ definite display of small hit symbol “Period (for example, 0.2 seconds)” + (F) “Opening period of sorting device electric accessory 2333 (for example, 1.0 second)” + (α) “Pushing into sorting device electric accessory 2333 And a calculation method of “predetermined waiting time for game balls being discharged (for example, 0.4 seconds)”. Further, the time values of (E) and (F) are not limited to being one predetermined time value, and may be configured to be selected from a plurality of time values. In that case, in the above-described calculation formula, (E) “maximum time value of the fixed display period of the small hit symbol”, (F) “maximum time value of the open state period of the sorting device electric accessory 2333”, The fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game will be calculated.

  Next, the display control unit 1150 performs first control on the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 to stop and display after changing the first special symbol for a predetermined time. 1151, second special symbol control means 1152 for controlling to stop display after changing the second special symbol for a predetermined time on the second special symbol display unit 2231 of the second special symbol display device 2230, and normal symbol display There is a universal symbol control means 1154 for performing a control to stop and display after changing the normal symbol for a predetermined time on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the device 2420.

  Here, the first special figure control means 1151 further includes a first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the first special figure content determination means 1141. Yes. The first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a further includes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Next, the second special figure control means 1152 further comprises second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the second special figure content determination means 1142. Yes. The second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a further includes a second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Further, the universal symbol control means 1154 has an ordinary symbol fluctuation time management means 1154a for managing the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display unit 2421 of the ordinary symbol display device 2420. Further, the common figure change time management means 1154a further includes a normal figure change management timer 1154a-1 capable of measuring time.

Next, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 determines whether or not the condition for performing the process of opening and closing the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110 is satisfied. Condition determining means 1161, a reference table 1163 for determining the opening time of the electric accessory to be referred to when determining the opening time of the second special figure starting port 2110 of the second special figure starting port 2110, The special figure starting port 2110 has a second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 for measuring the driving (opening) time of the electric accessory opening time management timer 1162. Table 6 is an example of a reference table 1163 for determining the electric appliance release time. Here, as can be seen from the table, the opening time of the selected second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is configured to be short-time gaming state> normal gaming state.

Next, the special game control means 1170 wins whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game (big hit, small hit) is satisfied, specifically, wins (big hit, small hit) { If a special game (small hit) execution permission flag and a special game (big hit) execution permission flag are generated} and the special game transition conditions are satisfied, the special game The special game content determination means 1172 that sets the contents of the game (specifically, the number of rounds, etc.) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and the distribution device electric accessory 2333 of the distribution device 2330 are opened and closed under predetermined conditions. Special game execution means 1173 for executing a special game (small hit) to be executed and a special game (big hit) in which the first big winning opening 2120 is opened under a predetermined condition, and various processes relating to the special game In order to perform interval management (for example, the opening / closing time of the sorter electric accessory 2333 and the rising period of the guidance device 2334 (valve member) in the small hit, the opening / closing time of the first big prize opening 2120 in the big hit) Special game time management means 1174. Here, the special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. The special game time management means 1174 further includes a special game timer 1174a capable of measuring time (not shown, but further includes an open / close timer and a specific area valid timer used at the time of a small hit. ). Here, Table 7 is an example of the special game content reference table 1172a. As can be seen from this table, for the big winning symbols “1A, 1B”, “3A, 3B”, “5A, 5B” and “7A, 7B”, the first big winning opening 2120 performs the opening operation, but the small hit symbol As for “2B, 4B”, the sorting device electric accessory 2333 of the sorting device 2330 performs the opening operation. In this best mode, “1A, 1B” and “5A, 5B”, which are the big hit symbols of the first group, become a low profit special game with almost no prize balls, and the big hit symbols of the second group are “ 3A, 3B "and" 7A, 7B "are configured to be a high profit special game that can obtain more prize balls than a low profit special game, but is not limited to this. Regarding the design, it may be configured to be a high profit special game.

  Next, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the transition to the specific game is possible and whether or not the specific game availability / content determination means 1183 for determining the contents of the specific game and the end condition for the specific game state are satisfied. Specific game end condition determining means 1181, and specific game related information temporary storage means 1182 for temporarily storing information (such as a flag) related to the specific game. Here, the specific game propriety / content determination means 1183 has a specific game propriety / content determination table 1183a to be referred to when determining whether or not to transfer a specific game. The special game propriety / content determination table 1183a is a special graphic specific game propriety / content determination table 1183a-1 to be referred to when determining whether or not to transfer a specific game related to a special symbol, and a normal symbol. And a special figure specific game availability / content determination table 1183a-2 for referencing when determining whether or not to transfer the specific game.

Here, Table 8 is an example of the special figure specific game availability / content determination table 1183a-1. As can be seen from this table, whether or not to shift to special game short game after special game is based on the special figure game state at the time of transition to the special game and the stop pattern that triggered the transition to the special game. It is configured to be determined. That is, in the case of a direct hit big hit (when the result of the lottery is a big hit), it is determined based on the game state and the big hit symbol at the time of the direct hit big hit, and in the case of the small hit developed big hit, It is determined based on the game state and the small hit symbol. Also, in the best mode of gameplay, in the special figure normal gaming state, it is assumed that only the direct hit big hit (big hit symbols “1A”, “3A”, “5A”, “7A”) in the first special symbol occurs. Because it is designed to be the maximum, in the special figure normal gaming state, if a small hit development big hit (small hit symbol "2B""4B") occurs or a direct hit big hit (big hit symbol "1B" in the second special symbol) When “3B”, “5B”, and “7B”) occur, the special game is configured not to shift to the special-time short game after the special game. On the other hand, in the special figure short game state, the small hit development big hit (small hit symbols “2B” and “4B”) occupies the majority, but the direct hit big hit can also occur due to the constant big hit probability, When a big hit occurs in the second special symbol (big hit symbol “7B”), the special special event time short game can be shifted to after the special game.

Moreover, Table 9 is an example of the table 1183a-2 for determining the normal game availability / contents. As can be seen from this table, the best mode is configured so that the game state on the normal symbol side is switched in conjunction with the game state on the special symbol side.

  As described above, in the present best mode, the number of time reductions is 100, and during the time reduction, the variation time of the second special symbol is relatively shortened compared to the special figure non-time reduction ( Special time reduction function). Further, the second special figure starting port 2112 is also easily opened in conjunction with the short time of the special symbol. Specifically, during the easy release state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is also relatively shortened (the normal symbol time reduction function), and the second special diagram start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special diagram start port 2110 is used. The opening time is relatively extended (opening time extension function). In the best mode, it is configured to determine whether or not the time is shortened or the number of times (in this example, the number is uniformly 100 times, but may be different number in this example), but may be determined by lottery.

  Furthermore, the specific game end condition determination means 1181 monitors the fluctuation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol during the short-time game with a limited number of times, and updates the short-time counter to measure the number of fluctuations of the symbol after the big hit ends. Control means 1181a is provided. Here, the time reduction counter updating control means 1181a further includes a time reduction counter 1181a-1 capable of counting the time reduction.

  Next, the game state temporary storage means 1190 includes first game state temporary storage means 1191 for temporarily storing the current game state in the first game (game from the change of the first special symbol to the stop), Second game state temporary storage means 1192 for temporarily storing the current game state in the second game (game from the change of the second special symbol to the stop), and temporarily stores the current game state in the auxiliary game Auxiliary game state temporary storage means 1193 for special game and special game for temporarily storing the current game state in the special game (for example, the number of rounds, the number of winning game balls in an arbitrary round, on / off of various flags related to the special game, etc.) Game-related information temporary storage means 1194.

  Here, the first game state temporary storage means 1191 includes first flag temporary storage means 1191a for temporarily storing ON / OFF information of various flags in various game states relating to the first game, and a first special symbol ( The first special symbol information temporary storage means 1191b for temporarily storing the stop symbol and the variation mode information relating to the first special symbol in which the variation start condition is established.

  The second gaming state temporary storage unit 1192 includes a second flag temporary storage unit 1192a for temporarily storing on / off information of various flags in various gaming states related to the second game, and a second special symbol (variation) And a second special symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b for temporarily storing the stop symbol and the variation mode information related to the second special symbol for which the start condition is satisfied.

  In addition, the auxiliary game state temporary storage means 1193 is information related to the auxiliary game (for example, on / off information of various flags such as a normal symbol winning flag, a normal symbol changing flag, an electric-worker-released flag, a general-purpose special game flag, etc.) Auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a for temporarily storing information, and temporary information temporary storage for temporarily storing information such as a stop symbol related to the currently changing normal symbol (ordinary symbol satisfying the change start condition) Means 1193b.

  Next, the flow of processing of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, the flow of processing on the main board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 4 is a main flowchart showing a flow of general processing performed by the main controller 1000. First, at step 10, the main controller 1000 executes a winning process for performing a process related to winning at a starting port (including an ordinary contributing starting port that contributes indirectly) related to special game transition. Next, in step 1200, main controller 1000 executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, at step 14, the main controller 1000 executes a normal game control process described later. In step 1600A, main controller 1000 executes a special game (small hit) control process described later. Next, in step 1600B, main controller 1000 executes a special game (big hit) control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 5000. In step 5000, the main controller 1000 (especially the winning ball payout determining means 1400) drives the winning ball payout control device 3000 based on the winning opening where the game ball has won to perform a payout process for a predetermined number of winning balls. And return to step 10 again. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the winning process according to the subroutine of step 10 in FIG. First, in step 1100, main controller 1000 executes a normal symbol winning random number acquisition process described later. In step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a game content determination random number acquisition process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the electric accessory drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the normal symbol winning random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1113 determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes) the general-purpose start entrance 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the common random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 refers to the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a, and determines whether or not the number of held balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the normal random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 acquires the normal symbol winning random number. Then, in step 1108, the general figure holding means 1133 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number in the general figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a together with the order information indicating the number of holdings. The process proceeds to (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the following process (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not the first special figure start port entrance information has been received from the first entrance detection device 2211 of the first special figure start port 2210. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the random number acquisition determination execution unit 1120 refers to the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 acquires the game content determination random number (first random number), and then stores it in the first special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1132a. At the same time, the process proceeds to step 1312. In the case of No in steps 1302 and 1304, the process proceeds to step 1312. This completes the random number acquisition process on the first game side.

  Next, in step 1312, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not the second special figure start port entrance information has been received from the second entrance detection device 2111 of the second special figure start port 2110. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not the second special symbol change based on the winning is possible, that is, no special symbol is changing (that is, “design” Whether the symbol related flag such as “Fluctuating flag” is off) and the special game is not executed (that is, the special game related flag such as “Special game running flag” is off). It is determined with reference to the gaming state temporary storage means 1190. In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 acquires the game content determination random number (second random number), and the process to be executed immediately before {the first step of step 1400 (2) 2 special symbol display process} is temporarily stored in the memory referred to, and the process proceeds to the next process (the electric accessory drive determination process in step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1312 and step 1314, it transfers to the following process (electric-powered article drive determination process of step 1200). This is the end of the random number acquisition process on the second game side. In the best mode, in a situation where the second special symbol cannot be changed immediately, a random number based on the ball entering the second special symbol start port 2110 is reserved (the first special symbol reservation information temporary storage relating to the first special symbol described above). The processing of temporarily storing random numbers in the holding memory as in the means 1132a is not executed.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the electric accessory open flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the ordinary figure content determining means 1143 refers to the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the general symbol content determination means 1143 refers to the general symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1143a-1, and the normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol winning random number) based on the reserved ball and the game A stop symbol is determined based on the state. Next, in step 1210, the ordinary figure fluctuation time management means 1154a refers to the ordinary figure fluctuation mode determination lottery table 1143a-2, and determines the normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol variation mode determination random number) based on the reserved ball and the game. A variation mode is determined based on the state, and the determined variation mode is set to a normal variation management timer 1154a-1 for a predetermined time (see Table 5). Then, in step 1212, the normal figure control means 1154 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193 a. Next, in step 1214, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-purpose control means. 1154 starts a normal symbol variation display on the universal symbol display unit 2421 after starting the common symbol variation management timer 1154a-1. Next, in step 1216, the common figure fluctuation time management means 1154a refers to the common figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1216, in step 1218, the general map control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination means 1143 in step 1208 on the general map display unit 2421. Then, in step 1220, the common figure control means 1154 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 sets the release timer 1162 for a predetermined time based on the game state at the time of the normal symbol stop (current). For example, in this example, it is 1.5 seconds for the short game at the normal time, and 0.1 seconds for the normal game at the normal time (see Table 6). Next, in step 1226, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric accessory open flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1228, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110. Next, in step 1230, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric accessory opening time management timer 1162, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Steps 1232 and 1234, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 and also provides auxiliary game related information. The electric-power-assist opening flag in the temporary storage means 1193a is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the normal game control process in step 14).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1230. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1216. If No in Step 1206, Step 1216, Step 1222, and Step 1230, the next process (Step 14) is performed. Normal game control process).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later. In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operation condition determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process {special game (small hit) control process in step 1600A}. For ease of understanding, the special game operation condition determination process 1500 will be described after a special game (small hit) control process 1600A described later.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process (second special symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. First, in step 1800, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 executes a variation start condition satisfaction determination process described later. In step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on, That is, it is determined whether or not the variation start condition for the first special symbol (second special symbol) is satisfied. The variation start condition will be described later.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off. In step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) uses the first game content determination random number (second game content determination random number) temporarily stored in a predetermined memory. read out. Here, in the best mode, the first special symbol and the second special symbol have different areas in which random numbers are stored until the processing. First, in the case of the first special symbol, there is a holding function. Therefore, the first game content determination random number that has arrived in the order to be digested this time is called from the holding unit (first special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a), and the information is written in the processing memory. On the other hand, there is no hold function in the case of the second special symbol. Therefore, the second game content determination random number processed this time is temporarily stored in a different memory different from the holding unit, and the second game content determination random number temporarily stored therein is used (see the description of FIG. 7). ). Next, in step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 uses the first game content determination random number (first winning random number) {second game content determining random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the winning / failing lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure winning / losing lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol winning / losing (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141 a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142 a). Referring to the first special symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second special symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1), the first game content determination random number (for example, the first special symbol determination random number) {first 2 game content determination random numbers (for example, second special symbol determination random number)}, stop symbols related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined, and these are stored in the first special symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second Special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored. When the stop symbol is a big hit symbol, information related to the big hit type (first group or second group) is also temporarily stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). To do. The table to be referred to is determined based on the result of success / failure and the gaming state (the same applies to the following). Here, when determining the stop symbol of the special symbol, different tables are referred to at the time of hit, small hit, and loss (see Table 2). Next, in step 1413-1, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) is stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Referring to the temporarily stored stop symbol, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is a lost symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1413-1, in step 1413-2, the first special figure content determining unit 1141 (second special figure content determining unit 1142) is for determining the first special figure content corresponding to the current gaming state. Refer to the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2) in the lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a). The first game content determination random number (for example, the first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, the second variation mode determination random number)} is related to the first special symbol (second special symbol). The variation mode is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b), and the process proceeds to step 1414. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1413-1, in step 1413-3, the first special figure content determining unit 1141 (second special figure content determining unit 1142) is changed to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special figure). With reference to the stop symbol temporarily stored in the figure information temporary storage means 1192b), it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is the first group big hit symbol. If Yes in step 1413-3, the process proceeds to step 1413-2. That is, when the stop symbol is the first group big hit symbol, the same process as the variation mode determination process at the time of losing is executed. That is, the variation mode is determined using the table for lost time corresponding to the gaming state. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1413-3, in step 1413-4, the second special figure content determination unit 1142 refers to the stop symbol temporarily stored in the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and the stop symbol It is determined whether or not is a small hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1413-4, in step 1413-5, the second special figure content determination unit 1142 refers to the gaming state temporarily stored in the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, and the gaming state is the normal gaming state ( That is, it is determined whether or not the non-time-saving game state. If Yes in step 1413-5, the process proceeds to step 1413-2. That is, in the case of a small hit in the normal gaming state, the same process as the variation mode determination process at the time of losing is executed. The table referred to in this case is a table for losing in the normal gaming state (see Table 3). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1413-5, in step 1413-6, the second special figure content determining means 1142 is for determining the second special figure variation mode at the time of a small hit in the second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a. Referring to the lottery table 1142a-2 (table for short hits at the time shortening game), the variation mode related to the second special symbol is determined based on the second game content determination random number (for example, the second variation mode determination random number). These are temporarily stored in the second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b, and the process proceeds to step 1414. Here, in this best mode, since a small hit can occur only in the second special symbol, the processing executed from step 1413-4 to step 1413-6 is processing only on the second special symbol side. I will supplement that. However, when the first special symbol side is configured to generate a small hit, the processing is executed on both the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1413-4, that is, when the stop symbol is the second group big hit symbol, in step 1413-7, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142). Is the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (first) in the big hit in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a) corresponding to the gaming state. 2 special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2), first game content determination random number (for example, first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, second variation mode determination random number) } To determine the variation mode related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) and store these in the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Stored at, the process proceeds to step 1414. Next, in step 1414, the information transmission means 1300 determines the symbol information {stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412 and steps 1413-1 to 1413-7. Information (including lost symbols attributes), variation mode information, etc.} is transmitted to the effect display control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines a predetermined time {the fluctuation according to the fluctuation mode determined in the above-mentioned steps 1413-1 to 1413-7. Time} is set in the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1418, the first special symbol control means 1151 (second special symbol control means 1152) makes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230 second of the second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130. On the special figure display unit 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

  In step 1422, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control means 1100 turns off the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). Next, in step 1442, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1442, in step 1446, the game control means 1100 turns on the special game (big hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1442, in step 1448, the game control unit 1100 turns on the special game (small hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . Then, in step 1430, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) performs the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether neither the first special symbol nor the second special symbol is currently changing. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game is in progress. Next, in the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the first special symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether or not there is a hold for the first special symbol. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1808, in step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol, and The process proceeds to processing (step 1402). Thus, in this best mode, in any state, when there is a hold on the first special symbol side, the hold related to the first special symbol is preferentially digested.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1808, that is, when there is no hold related to the first special symbol, in step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 determines whether or not a random number related to the second special symbol has been acquired. Determine. In this best mode, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110, if a random number is acquired, the second special symbol variation based on the random number is executed immediately. (2) It is configured to acquire a game content determination random number on the game side (specifically, it is not in a special game, any special symbol is not changing, there is no hold of the first special symbol) ). However, it is not configured in this way, and the game content determination random number on the second game side is acquired under any circumstances, and the acquired relevant random number is not satisfied when the variation start condition of the second special symbol is not satisfied. You may comprise so that a game content determination random number may be erase | eliminated. If YES in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, turns on the variation start permission flag related to the second special symbol, The process proceeds to the next process (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802, step 1804, and step 1812.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Note that not only the time shortening flag on the special game side but also the time shortening flag on the normal symbol side linked to this is turned off in this processing. In step 1466, the information transmitting means 1300 transmits a time-short gaming state end signal indicating that the time-saving gaming state has ended, and proceeds to the next processing (special game operating condition determination processing 1500). In the case of No in step 1452 and step 1456, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a special game (small hit) control process according to the subroutine of step 1600A in FIG. First, in step 1602A, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game (small hit) flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1602A, in step 1604A, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not the specific area valid flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1604A, in step 1606A, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the in-sorting device game ball discharge incomplete flag is off. . In the case of Yes in step 1606A, in step 1608A, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game (small hit) execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1608A, in step 1610A, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game (small hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1612A, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the special game (small hit) flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1614A, the special game execution means 1173 turns on the specific area valid flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1616A, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the in-sorting device game ball discharge incomplete flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1618A, the special game executing means 1173 sets the special game timer 1174a (open / close timer and specific area valid timer) to the open / close time and specific of the sorter electric accessory 2333 related to the special game (small hit). Set the effective area time. Next, in step 1619A, the information transmitting means 1300 determines the gaming state information at the time of the change (whether or not it is a short-time gaming state), current gaming state-related information (time reduction flag, short-time counter value), special game Information (such as a small hit according to the second special figure) is transmitted to the effect display control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1620A, the special game executing means 1173 drives the sorting device electric accessory solenoid 2333a to start opening / closing the sorting device electric accessory 2333, and raises the guiding device 2334 (valve member). It is displaced to a state for a predetermined time (0.4 seconds in this example) (after that, it is displaced to a lowered state after 0.4 seconds).

  Next, in step 1622A, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game timer 1174a (open / close timer), and whether or not the opening / closing end time of the sorting device electric accessory 2333 in the special game (small hit) has been reached. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1622A, in step 1624A, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the sorting apparatus electric combination solenoid 2333a and ends the opening and closing of the distribution apparatus electric combination 2333. Next, in step 1626A, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the special game (small hit) flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1628A, the special game executing means 1173 resets the special game timer 1174a (open / close timer).

  Next, in step 1630A, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game timer 1174a (specific area effective timer) and determines whether or not the specific area effective time end timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1630A, in step 1632A, the special game execution unit 1173 turns off the specific area valid flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194.

First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game (big hit) execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination means 1171 turns off the special game (big hit) execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the predetermined mode. . Next, in steps 1508 and 1510, the specific game control means 1180 temporarily turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and resets the time reduction counter 1181a. (Time-count counter value = 0). Note that not only the time shortening flag on the special game side but also the time shortening flag on the normal symbol side linked to this is turned off in this processing. In step 1516, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the special game (big hit) transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and performs the next process {special game (small hit) control process in step 1600A. }. Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process {special game (small hit) control process in step 1600A}.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600B in FIG. First, in step 1602B, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game (big hit) transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602B, in step 1604B and step 1606B, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game (big hit) transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. To. Next, in step 1608B, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side, and proceeds to step 1612B. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602B, in step 1610B, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610B, the process proceeds to step 1612B. In the case of No in step 1610B, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1612B, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 1612B, that is, when the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to Step 1624B without performing the processes of Steps 1614B to 1622B described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612B, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614B, the special game execution means 1173 first sets the release pattern (for example, the first pattern set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194). An opening pattern in which the 1st prize winning opening 2120 is kept open, and a pattern for opening and closing are set. Next, in step 1616B, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618B, the special game execution unit 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620B, the special game execution unit 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Then, in step 1622B, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, drives the first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120, and makes the first big prize. The mouth 2120 is opened, and the process proceeds to Step 1624B.

  Next, in step 1624B, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the effect display control unit 2320 side. In step 1626B, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round. In the case of Yes in step 1626B, the process proceeds to step 1630B. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626B, in step 1628B, the special game execution means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the special game timer 1174a (particularly, an open time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1628B, the process proceeds to step 1630B, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1630B, the special game executing means 1173 stops the driving of the first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 and closes the first big prize opening 2120. In step 1632B, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634B, the special game execution unit 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1636B, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not the round is the final round (for example, 15 rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1636B, in step 1638B, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640B, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side. In step 9000, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure specific game availability / content determination table 1183a, determines whether or not to shift to the special figure short-time game based on the stop symbol and game state at the time of winning, and In the case of transition to special figure short time game after specifying the number of short hours in case of transition, the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1191 is accessed to turn on the special figure short time flag, and the auxiliary game state temporary storage The flag area of the means 1193 is also accessed to turn on the normal time flag, and the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). In addition, also in the case of No in step 1636B, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2320.

First, in step 6302A, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the special game (during small hit) flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302A, in step 6304A, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game (small hit) start signal or the like has been received from the main control device 1000 side. judge. In the case of Yes in step 6304A, in step 6306A, the display control means 2322 turns on a special game (during small hit) flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6308A, the display control means 2322 displays a normal special game (small hit) start display on the effect display device 2310, specifically, “V Chance!”. In step 6310A, display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the specific area related display flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6310A, in step 6312A, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a and receives a “specific region passing signal” or “specific region non-passing signal” from the main controller 1000 side. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 6312A, in step 6314A, the display control means 2322 determines whether or not the signal is a “specific area passing signal”. In the case of Yes in step 6314A, in step 6316A, the display control means 2322 displays “V zone winning! Congratulations on winning the jackpot” on the effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6320A. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6314A, in step 6318A, display control means 2322 displays “Sorry! Next expectation!” On effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6320A.

  In step 6320A, display control means 2322 turns on the specific area related display flag in the flag area of effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in Step 6322A, the display control means 2322 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game (small hit) end signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6322A, in step 6324A, the display control means 2322 performs a special game (small hit) end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6326A and step 6328A, the display control unit 2322 turns off the specific area related display flag and the small hitting flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, respectively, and performs the next processing {during special game The process proceeds to the display control process 6300B}. If NO in step 6302A, the process proceeds to step 6310A. If NO in step 6304A, step 6312A and step 6322A, the process proceeds to the next process {special game (during big hit) display control process 6300B}. In the case of No in 6310A, the process proceeds to Step 6320A.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the special game (during big hit) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300B in FIG. First, in step 6302B, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302B, in step 6304B, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in Step 6304B, in Step 6306B and Step 6308B, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310B, the display control unit 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624B. Next, in step 6312B, the display control means 2322 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2121a, and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312B, in step 6314B, the display control unit 2322 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316B, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 6100). . In the case of No in step 6302B, the process proceeds to step 6310B, and in the case of No in steps 6304B and 6312B, the process proceeds to the next process (decorated symbol display content determination process in step 6100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. Here, this figure is a timing chart showing the relationship between the fluctuation of the normal symbol during the time-reducing game and the operation of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 and the distribution device 2330 in the best mode. .

  First, in the best mode, the variation time related to the symbol variation of the normal symbol and the variation time related to the symbol variation of the second special symbol are determined by lottery from a plurality of variation times. In addition, since the second special symbol does not have a holding function, the second special figure start opening motor accessory 2112 is opened, and when the game ball enters the second special figure start opening 2110, If the symbol variation start condition for the special symbol is not satisfied, the symbol variation of the second special symbol (and the lottery process related to symbol variation) based on the ball entering the second special symbol start port 2110 will not be executed. It is configured. Under such a configuration, (1) in the same figure will be described. First, the symbol variation of the normal symbol stops based on an arbitrary variation time, and the second special diagram start opening electric accessory 2112 stays in the predetermined period. (In this example, 1.5 seconds during a short-time game) will be in the open state. Next, (D) immediately before the end of the open state of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112, the entry of a game ball into the second special figure start opening 2110 is detected, and the symbol variation of the second special figure start opening 2110 is detected. Be started. Here, in the symbol variation of the second special symbol, the variation mode in which the variation time is the longest (in this example, 1.6 seconds during the short-time game) is determined by lottery. Next, (E) the symbol variation of the second special symbol ends, and the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed for a predetermined period (in this example, 0.2 seconds). Next, (F) after the end of the small symbol design display, the sorter motor accessory 2333 of the sorter 2330 is displaced to the open state for a predetermined period (1.0 seconds in this example). Then, (α) after the end of the open state of the sorter electric accessory 2333, the sorter electric accessory 2333 is displaced to the closed state, and the game ball discharge waiting time (0.4 seconds in this example) Is started. Here, the period (D) to (α) is a period in which the symbol variation start condition of the second special symbol is not satisfied, and the total time value of the period is (D) 1.6 seconds + (E) 0 2 seconds + (F) 1.0 seconds + (α) 0.4 seconds = 3.2 seconds. On the other hand, the symbol variation of the next normal symbol is started at substantially the same timing as the timing when the open state of the second special diagram start opening electric accessory 2112 ends in (D). Here, in the symbol variation of the normal symbol, the variation mode in which the variation time is the shortest (in this example, 3.2 seconds during the short-time game) is determined by lottery. Then, at the end of the next symbol variation of the normal symbol, it stops again with the winning symbol, and the second special diagram starter electric accessory 2112 is opened again. Since the value (D) to (α) (that is, the period during which the symbol variation start condition of the second special symbol is not satisfied) has been set, the second opened again. Regardless of the timing at which the game ball enters the special figure starting port electric accessory 2112, the symbol variation of the second special symbol can be started.

  In the best mode, the variation time of the second special symbol in (D) may be 1.3 seconds or 1.0 seconds depending on the lottery. Here, FIG. 2B is a timing chart when the former occurs, and FIG. 3C is a timing chart when the latter occurs. As shown in FIGS. (2) and (3), even in such a case, the next normal symbol variation time is sufficient for the period (D) to (α) to elapse. Value. In addition, even if the timing of entering the game ball into the second special figure starting port 2110 in (D) is advanced, as shown in (4) of FIG. This is a value sufficient for the period of (D) to (α) to elapse. Further, although not shown in the drawings, in the best mode, the variation time of the normal symbol may be 3.8 seconds or 4.5 seconds depending on the lottery. Is a value sufficient to elapse the period (D) to (α) described above.

  According to this best mode, the second special symbol variation condition for the second special symbol relating to the second game in which the small hit is generated, which is a pachinko gaming machine having a function of the first type first type small hit development jackpot Even if a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110 when it is not satisfied, the random number is acquired and the random number is not temporarily stored in the form of hold. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine configured such that the variation time in the time reduction game of the normal symbol and the variation time in the small hit time in the time reduction game of the second special symbol is determined by lottery from a plurality of variation times , "Minimum time value of variation time during time reduction game of normal symbol" ≧ "Maximum time value of variation time at small hit time during time reduction game of second special symbol" + "Fixed display period of small hit symbol" + “Distribution Since it is configured to be “the open state period of the electric motor accessory 2333” + “the predetermined waiting time (or the small hit end demonstration time) of the game ball entering the sorting device electric accessory 2333”. In the time-saving game, at the end of the normal symbol change, it is possible to ensure that the symbol change start condition of the second special symbol is satisfied, and by adjusting the launch timing of the game ball, a big hit is generated In addition to delaying the game, it is possible to effectively avoid increasing the number of balls by paying out a prize ball even if no big hit has occurred (the so-called stop-and-shoot strategy), and the design of the second special symbol There is an effect that it is possible to avoid a situation in which fluctuation does not start (so-called fogging).

  Furthermore, in addition to the above effects, it is a simple change that changes the set value of “minimum time value of fluctuation time during normal symbol time reduction game” and does not require any special processing content. The program capacity is not increased.

  Further, in addition to the above effects, a table for determining the variation mode related to the small hit symbol of the second special symbol during normal game is not provided independently, and the variation mode determination related to the symbol variation of the first special symbol during normal game is determined. Since it is configured to refer to the table, the timing from the symbol variation of the second special symbol during the normal game to the occurrence of the small hit can be greatly varied for each symbol variation, the second special symbol during the normal game By playing the game so that the symbol variation of the symbol is performed, it is possible to avoid deriving a ball that greatly exceeds the design value, and a table for determining the variation time related to the small special symbol of the second special symbol in the normal game Since it is not provided separately, it is possible to avoid pressing the storage area on the main control side.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above effects, the jackpot symbol is classified into two types (first group and second group), and when determining the variation mode related to the big hit of the first group, a table for determining the variation mode at the time of loss It is possible to alleviate the fact that the expectation to the big hit is significantly reduced when the fluctuation time is short, and to hit the player in all the fluctuation modes. By having a sense of expectation for the player, it is avoided that the player feels tired, and a table for determining the variation mode related to the big hit of the first group is not separately provided. There is also an effect that it is possible to avoid pressing the storage area.

  As another calculation method of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game in the best mode, “minimum time value of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” + (β) “No. 2 Opening time of the special figure starter electric accessory (minimum time value when multiple times can be selected during time-saving games) ≧ (D) “Small hit time during time-saving games of the second special symbol + (E) “Fixed display period of small hit symbol” + (F) “Opening period of sorting device electric accessory 2333” + (α) “Distributing device electric accessory 2333 An example of “a predetermined waiting time (or a small hit end demo time)” of a game ball entering the ball can be given. In such a calculation method, when (β) is 1.5 seconds, the “minimum time value of the variation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” is, for example, 3 seconds {≧ (D) 1.6 seconds + ( E) 0.2 seconds + (F) 1.0 seconds + (α) 0.4 seconds− (β) 1.5 seconds = 1.7 seconds}. In this case, it is preferable to take into account “the shortest time from when the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is opened to when a game ball is detected”. That is, in (1) of FIG. 21, the timing at which the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is opened is advanced by 0.2 seconds, but the second special symbol variable condition is satisfied. The open state of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 under the conditions (that is, under the condition where the period of (D) to (α) described above has passed) is secured.

  In addition, as another calculation method of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game in the best mode, “minimum time value of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” + (γ) “normal” "Fixed display period of symbol per symbol)" ≥ (D) "Maximum time value of fluctuation time at the time of small hit in the second special symbol time reduction game" + (E) "Fixed display period of symbol per symbol" + (F) “Opening period of the sorting device electric accessory 2333” + (α) “predetermined waiting time for the game ball entering the sorting device electric accessory 2333 (or a small hit end demonstration time) Can be given as an example. In such a calculation method, if (γ) is 0.2 seconds, the “minimum time value of the variation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” is 3.0 seconds {≧ (D) 1.6 seconds. + (E) 0.2 seconds + (F) 1.0 seconds + (α) 0.4 seconds− (γ) 0.2 seconds = 3.0 seconds}. That is, in (1) of FIG. 21, the normal symbol variation end timing is 0.2 seconds earlier, but the second special diagram starting port electric accessory 2112 is opened 0.2 seconds after the variation of the normal symbol stops. Therefore, the timing at which the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is opened and the timing of entering the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 are substantially the same as (1) in FIG. is there. In this case, (γ) “Fixed display period of hit symbol in normal symbol” is not limited to a predetermined one time value, and is selected from a plurality of different time values. May be. In that case, in the above-described calculation formula, the variation time during the time shortening game of the normal symbol is calculated as (γ) “minimum time value of the fixed display period of the hit symbol in the normal symbol”.

  Further, as another calculation method of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game in the best mode, “minimum time value of the fluctuation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” + (δ) “No. 2 Special figure start opening Waiting time for game balls entering the electric accessory 2112 to be discharged (or a normal demonstration end time per normal symbol) ”≧ (D)“ second special symbol time reduction game at time reduction game “Maximum time value of time fluctuation time” + (E) “Fixed display period of small hit symbol” + (F) “Period of opening time of the sorting device electric accessory 2333” + (α) “Electrical device of the sorting device” An example of a predetermined time (or a small hit end demo time) waiting for discharge of game balls entering 2333 can be given. In such a calculation method, if (δ) is 0.2 seconds, the “minimum time value of the variation time in the normal symbol time reduction game” is 3.0 seconds {≧ (D) 1.6 seconds. + (E) 0.2 seconds + (F) 1.0 seconds + (α) 0.4 seconds− (δ) 0.2 seconds = 3.0 seconds}. That is, in (1) of FIG. 21, the normal symbol variation end timing is 0.2 seconds earlier, but the normal symbol variation start timing is 0.2 seconds later, so the second special diagram start port electric accessory 2112. The timing at which the valve is opened and the timing at which the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 enters is substantially the same as (1) in FIG.

In the best mode, the calculation method of the variation time in the normal symbol time reduction game can be shown in combination. Here, Table 10 and Table 11 show combinations related to the calculation method. First, Table 10 will be described. “X” in the symbols in the table means “variation time during normal symbol time reduction game”, and “Y” means “opening time of the second special figure starter electric accessory 2112”. “Z” means “the variation time at the time of the small hit in the time shortening game of the second special symbol”, and “W” means “the opening time of the electric device 2333 for the sorting device” To do. “Single” and “Multiple” mean “time value is one time value” and “time value is selected from a plurality of different time values”, respectively. The subscripts “min” and “max” mean “minimum value at a plurality of different time values” and “maximum value at a plurality of different time values”, respectively. In other words, Table 10 shows combinations that focus only on the symbol variation time and the opening time of the accessory. This is a combination related to a calculation method in a case where the “predetermined waiting time for gaming balls entering the game ball (or the small hit end demo time)” is not considered. For example, in the calculation method at the bottom in the table, “variable time during normal symbol time reduction game” is “selected from a plurality of different time values” and “the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 “Open time” is “Select from multiple different time values”, and “Variation time at the time of small hit in the time saving game of the second special symbol” is “Select from multiple different time values”, and “Distribution” The “open time of the device electric accessory 2333” is “the minimum value of the variation time during the time-saving game of the normal symbol” + “the second special figure starting port electric accessory” under the configuration of “select from a plurality of different time values”. “Minimum value of opening time of 2112” ≧ “Maximum value of fluctuation time at the time of a small hit in the time shortening game of the second special symbol” + “Maximum value of opening time of the sorter electric accessory 2333” , "Normal time saving game The minimum value "of the variation time it comes to be set that.

Next, Table 11 will be described. “Y1” in the symbols in the table means “fixed display period of the hit symbol in the normal symbol”, and “Y2” means “entering into the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112” "Game ball discharge waiting time" (or normal demo end time per symbol) "W1" means "small hit symbol fixed display period", "W2" means "distribution device electric It means the discharge waiting time (or the small hit end demonstration time) of the game ball entering the accessory 2333. “Single”, “Multiple” and “(None)” mean “time value is one time value”, “time value is selected from a plurality of different time values” and “no time value is provided”. doing. The subscripts “min” and “max” mean “minimum value at a plurality of different time values” and “maximum value at a plurality of different time values”, respectively. That is, in Table 11, in each of the combinations in Table 10, the above-mentioned (E) “fixed display period of the small hit symbol” and (α) “game balls entering the sorter electric accessory 2333 This is a combination related to the calculation method in consideration of “predetermined waiting time for discharging (or demo time for small hits)” and the like. In this example, only the uppermost case in Table 10 is illustrated, but the same applies to the other cases, and the description thereof is omitted. For example, in the calculation method in the lowermost row in the rightmost column in the table, “the fixed display period of the hit symbol in the normal symbol” is “selected from a plurality of different time values” and “the second special figure starting port electric member” "Discharge waiting time of game balls entering in 2112" is "select from a plurality of different time values" and "fixed display period of small hit symbol" is "select from a plurality of different time values", and “Discharge waiting time of game balls entering the sorter electric accessory 2333” is “selectable from a plurality of different time values” and “variation time during normal symbol time reduction game” + “Opening time of second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112” + “minimum value of fixed display period of hit symbol in normal symbol” + “game entering second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 "Minimum value of ball discharge waiting time" ≥ "second special symbol" “Variation time at the time of a small hit in a shortened game” + “opening time of the sorting device electric accessory 2333” + “maximum value of the fixed display period of the small hitting symbol” + “entering into the sorting device electric accessory 2333 This means that it is sufficient to set a “variation time during a time-reducing game of normal symbols” that satisfies the “maximum waiting time for game ball discharge”.
