Description

  The present invention performs special lottery determination lottery, and if the lottery result is a big win, a special game with a special winning opening is executed, and a special game advantageous to the special symbol success lottery after the special game ends. It is related to the ball game machine which moves to.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko machine that is a ball game machine, a probabilistic gaming state in which the winning probability of a special symbol winning lottery is a high probability as a privileged gaming state to be transferred after the special symbol special game ends. Also in the probabilistic gaming state, there are a state in which an opening extension function for extending the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory that forms the starting point of the special symbol is provided, and a state in which it is not, which is advantageous to the player even in the probable gaming state. There are some that constitute a gaming state and a gaming state that is not (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In this type of pachinko machine, as a special symbol start port, a first special symbol start port that can always enter a game ball, and a second ball that can enter only when the ordinary electric accessory is opened. A special symbol starting port is provided. In this case, the winning lottery of the second special symbol caused by entering the second special symbol starting port is more than the lottery drawing of the first special symbol resulting from entering the first special symbol starting port. The first special symbol which is executed preferentially and the special game of the second special symbol which is executed as a big hit with the second special symbol is executed as a big hit with the first special symbol The number of rounds and the opening pattern of the big prize opening are considered to be more advantageous for winning the prize ball than the special game. As a result, just by activating the opening extension function, the big hit in this period becomes very advantageous compared to other periods, and it is possible to give the game sharpness.

JP 2008-029614 A

By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine equipped with the first and second special symbols, the game enters the second special symbol start opening in the game state of the extended extension, and the second special symbol caused by this enters the ball. The player's interest gathers for the decision.
However, the opening extension function is set in combination with a time shortening function for shortening the variation time of the special symbol in order to increase the possibility of a big hit in a certain time. Therefore, as the symbol variation time is shortened, the second special symbol for which the winning / failing lottery is preferentially consumed consumes its reserved memory quickly. As a result, when the success / failure lottery (fluctuation) of the second special symbol, which has been continuous, is interrupted, the player's sense of expectation and tension may be reduced, which may result in a game that is not interesting to the player.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention can attract the player's interest in the lottery of the second special symbol, and can continuously execute the lottery of the second special symbol. The challenge was to provide a ball game machine with a high level of interest and fun.

The present invention includes a normal electric role that is released due to the normal symbol determination , a first special symbol starting port that allows a game ball to enter at all times, and an input when the normal electric feature is released. A second special symbol starting port that enables a ball, and a hold for extracting a random number due to the ball entering the first special symbol starting port or the second special symbol starting port and storing the random number Storage means,
The random number performed propriety lottery with, and ball entrance spruce lottery executed preferentially by to the first of the second special symbol start port than spruce drawing by ball entrance to special symbol start port, When spruce lottery is executed by changing display the special symbol in the symbol display device, after it allowed confirm displayed notifying the results of the spruce lottery performs special game if the result of spruce lottery jackpot, special game terminated later in the spruce lottery is available for migration, a pinball game machine to the advantageous benefits gaming state than usual,
The special game caused by entering the second special symbol starting port as the special game is more advantageous for obtaining a prize ball than the special game caused by entering the first special symbol starting port. and such configuration,
The spruce time lottery, as variation table for selecting the fluctuation time of the special symbol which allowed to change displayed on the symbol display device, the average fluctuation time due to entry sphere to the second special symbol start port in the award gaming state Providing a first variation table and a second variation table with different
When the gaming state is changed to the privilege gaming state, the first variation table is selected, and the number of variations of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number with the first variation table being selected. A variation table setting means for changing from the first variation table to the second variation table;
The condition is that when the special symbol winning / losing lottery that causes the change to the privilege gaming state is a winning / non-winning lottery by entering the first special symbol starting port, and to the second special symbol starting port And different conditions for winning or failing lottery by entering,
Holding storage means for holding storage according to the number of the storage,
The hold memory display means is configured to display the hold memory of the first special symbol and the hold memory of the second special symbol without distinction.

According to the present invention, when the first variation table is selected, the number of winning / failing lotteries (the number of variations of the special symbol) in a certain time is increased. There is a high possibility that the number of chances of winning or failing for one special symbol will increase. On the other hand, when the second variation table is selected, the number of winning / failing lotteries during a certain period of time decreases, and there is a high possibility that the number of winning / losing opportunities for the second special symbol executed preferentially will increase. In this way, by changing the first and second variation tables, the ratio between the first lottery winning / losing lottery opportunity and the second special symbol winning / losing lottery opportunity can be changed. An advantageous state and a state where the open extension function is in an activated state can be provided. For example, since the game content at the time of the big hit is more advantageous for the winning special lottery of the second special symbol, the probability of winning the second special symbol is lower than when the proportion of the first special symbol winning lottery is high Is improved and is advantageous to the player. In addition, since the second half of the bonus game state period is changed to the second variation table and the chance of winning or failing the second special symbol is improved, the player's interest can be gathered. Therefore, by providing a gaming state with a different advantage even in the privileged gaming state, or depending on the gaming state, the success / failure lottery of the second special symbol is continued to attract the player's interest in the success / failure lottery. It can increase the sense of tension and the realization of an amusement-rich game.
In addition, the number of reserved memories can be determined, but by making it impossible to determine whether these are the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the big hit of the second special symbol having a high advantage at the time of the big hit Whether or not it can raise interest and raise interest.
The privilege gaming state is a probability-changing gaming state in which the winning probability of a special symbol is high, and a short-time gaming state having a function of opening and extending a normal electric accessory. Moreover, the opening period from the opening of the ordinary electric accessory to the next opening is the average time of the opening interval.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 performs a lottery determination for the usual figure by entering the starting gate 21 and starts the symbol variation of the ordinary figure display device 18. If the lottery result is a win, the winning symbol of the ordinary figure is confirmed and displayed on the display device 18 to release the ordinary utility. As a result, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 22B.
When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A, the first special figure is determined by lottery, and the first special figure display device 16A and the effect symbol display device 15 start changing the symbols. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16A.
Similarly, if there is a ball in the second special figure starting port 22B, the second special figure is determined whether or not to win, and the second special figure display device 16B and the effect symbol display device 15 start symbol variation. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16B. The effect symbol display device 15 displays a pseudo symbol or effect corresponding to the first or second special symbol.
If there is a ball entering the first or second special figure starting port 22A, 22B during the symbol variation, the first or second special figure is stored on hold according to the ball entered. When there is a hold of the second special drawing, the variation of the second special drawing and the lottery determination are executed in preference to the first special drawing.
After the big hit game is over, there is a probability change function that increases the probability of winning and an extension extension function that shortens the change time of the special symbol and extends the opening time of the main utility (second special figure start port 22B). It becomes a privilege game state to which a short time function is provided. In addition, the bonus game state varies depending on the conditions for winning the big hit, and the period of time reduction varies. Further, after the special game is finished, the variation pattern of the first and second special drawings is changed according to the progress of the game.

  The outline of the “main routine” of the program processing executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The “main routine” is composed of the main processing (S100 to S111, S115) and the remaining processing (S112). The main routine is started due to an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms or 4 ms, and first determines whether the interrupt is normal. (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

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

Next, a description will be given of a part of subroutines of the winning / failing determination process (S109), the winning confirmation process (S108), and each output process (S110) which are deeply related to the present invention.
The “start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 6 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108). First, it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A (S200), there is a ball (S200: yes), and the reserved memory of the first special figure is not full (S201: no), In the process of S202, a plurality of types of random numbers (such as a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc.) relating to the first special figure are extracted, and are mainly stored as a reserved memory of the first special figure. It is stored in the memory of the control device 80 (maximum 4). Then, a command for the number of first special figure hold is transmitted to the display control of the first special figure hold display device 17 </ b> A and the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

  Subsequently, it is confirmed in the process of S203 whether there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 22B. If there is a ball (S203: yes), and the reserved memory of the second special figure is not full (S204: no). ), A plurality of types of random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc.) relating to the second special figure are extracted in the process of S205, and the second special figure is stored on hold. Are stored in the memory of the main controller 80 (maximum of four). Then, the display control of the second special figure hold display device 17B and the command of the second special figure hold number are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

  7 to 11 show a flowchart of the “win / fail determination process”. As shown in FIG. 7, the “win / fail determination process” confirms whether the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation, and if it is not in operation (S300: no), the symbol (first or second) (2 special figure) is checked to see if it is changing. If it is not changing (S301: no), it is checked whether the confirmed symbol of the first or second special figure is displayed (S302). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 8, it is confirmed whether there is a reserved memory of the second special figure (S310). If there is a hold memory of the second special figure (S310: yes), the number of the hold memories of the second special figure is subtracted, and the hold process of the second special figure is shifted (S311). By the shift process, the oldest stored memory among the stored memories in the second special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.
If there is no reserved memory for the second special figure (S310: no), it is checked whether there is a reserved memory for the first special figure in S312, and if there is a reserved memory for the first special figure (S312: yes), the first special figure is obtained. The number of reserved memories in the figure is subtracted, and the shift process of the reserved memory of the first special figure is performed (S313). As a result, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.
In this way, by confirming the reserved memory of the second special figure before the reserved memory of the first special figure, the success / failure lottery of the second special figure is prioritized over the lottery determination (correction determination) of the first special figure. To be executed. If neither the second special chart or the first special chart is stored on hold (S312: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".

Next, in the process of S314, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is in the probability variation (high probability) (if the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S314: yes), the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the big hit determination random number of the hold memory that is the target of the determination of success / failure to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S315).
If the probability change is not in progress (S314: no), whether or not it is a big hit is determined by comparing the normal probability (low probability) hit determination table with the big hit determination random number (S316).

In the subsequent process of S317, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S315 or S316 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S317: yes), in the process of S318, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination.

  The jackpot symbols determined in the process of S318 are determined differently depending on the jackpot by the winning lottery of the first special figure and the jackpot by the winning lottery of the second special figure. As shown in FIG. 11, one symbol is determined from the seven types of “special symbol 1 symbol 1 to special symbol 1 symbol 7” as the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol. On the other hand, as the jackpot symbol of the second special symbol, one symbol is determined from four types of “special symbol 2 symbol 1 to special symbol 2 symbol 4”.

Based on the jackpot symbol determined in this way, the mode of the jackpot game (the mode of opening the jackpot 25) and the contents of the bonus game state after the jackpot game are assigned.
For example, in “Special Figure 1 Symbol 1”, the winning prize opening 25 is released for 15 rounds for 15 seconds, and in “Special Figure 1 Symbol 4”, the winning prize opening 25 is released for 6.0 seconds for 2 rounds. Are assigned.
In the first special figure, “probability change (probability fluctuation function)” is given as the bonus game state after the big hit game in any of the symbols until the first and second special figures have a lottery count of 60. In addition, when the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low probability and short time non-operation”, the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low time operation with low probability” until the first and second special drawings have reached 60 times. ”And“ High-probability time-saving operation ”, a bonus game that assigns“ time-shortness (time-short function) ”is assigned until the number of successful / frozen lotteries of the first and second special drawings reaches 100.

In the second special figure, for example, “Special Figure 2 Symbol 1” is opened for 15 seconds for 28 seconds of the special winning opening 25, and “Special Figure 1 Symbol 4” is opened for 6.0 seconds for the special prize opening 25. A big hit game mode of 2 rounds is assigned.
In the second special figure, “probability change (probability changing function)” is given as the bonus game state after the big hit game in any of the symbols until the number of successful lottery times of the first and second special figures reaches 60. In addition, when the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low probability and short time non-operation”, the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low time operation with low probability” until the first and second special drawing number of times is 20 ”And“ High-probability time-saving operation ”, a bonus game that assigns“ time-shortness (time-short function) ”is assigned until the number of successful / frozen lotteries of the first and second special drawings reaches 100.
In this way, the allocation of the contents of the bonus game state after the jackpot game is different between the first bonus chart and the second bonus chart. In the bonus game mode, the second bonus chart is different from the first bonus chart in the first bonus chart. The figure is more advantageous for the player.

In the process of S319 of FIG. 8, the winning variation pattern is determined based on the variation random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination.
As shown in FIG. 12, both the first special figure and the second special figure are 6 when the game state at the time of the winning / losing lottery is a big hit (winning) with a “normal probability and no electric support (no short time)”. One pattern is determined from the hit variation pattern of the type.
As shown in FIG. 13, both the first special figure and the second special figure are 6 even when the gaming state at the time of the winning / losing lottery is a big hit (winning) in a state of “high probability with electric support (with short time)”. One pattern is determined from the hit variation pattern of the type.

  After determining the hit variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S320 of FIG. In this process, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 14, and first, the determined jackpot symbol is referred to (S400). Based on the jackpot symbol, the mode of jackpot game is set (S401). In the subsequent processing of S402 and S403, since a probability change and a short time are given as the bonus game state after the jackpot game ends, a probability change grant flag indicating that the probability change will occur before the jackpot game ends, and before the jackpot game ends The time grant flag is set to 1 to indicate that the time is short.

In the process of S404, the variation table for determining the variation pattern of the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure from the next time is set.
As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the variation table is prepared with a plurality of types of tables according to the gaming state and the first special figure and the second special figure.
FIG. 17 (a) shows a variation table used for both the first special diagram and the second special diagram in a low-probability and short-timeless gaming state (normal game), and the variation table is a variation pattern at the time of loss. 51 types of patterns including reach are provided, and different variation times are set for each variation pattern. The average fluctuation time at the time of losing is about 12 seconds. The variation table has a plurality of types of big hit variation patterns (not shown).
FIG. 17B shows a first variation table used in the second special figure in a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and the first variation table has a variation time of 0.6 seconds as a variation pattern at the time of loss. Provide a pattern. The variation pattern indicates that the opening interval from the opening of the electric utility to the next opening is larger than the average number of incoming balls when the electric utility is opened once at the second special figure starting port 22B. Is set to a fluctuation time in which the number of fluctuations of the second special figure increases. The first variation table has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).
FIG. 17C shows a second variation table used in the second special figure in a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and the second variation table shows 50 types of patterns including reach as variation patterns at the time of loss. A different variation time is set for each variation pattern. The average fluctuation time at the time of losing is about 3.5 seconds. These fluctuation patterns correspond to the opening from the opening of the electric utility to the next opening relative to the average number of incoming balls when the electric utility of the second special figure starting port 22B is opened once. The change time is set such that the number of changes in the second special figure at the interval is reduced. The second variation table has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).

The variation table shown in FIG. 18 (a) is used in the first special figure in a high-probability and short-time gaming state, and includes 50 types of patterns including reach as variation patterns at the time of loss, The average variation time is about 1.5 seconds. In addition, it has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).
The variation table shown in FIG. 18B is used in the first special diagram and the second special diagram in a low-probability and short-lived gaming state, and 30 types of patterns including reach are used as variation patterns at the time of loss. The average fluctuation time at the time of losing is about 3.0 seconds. In addition, it has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).

  Returning to FIG. 14, in the fluctuation table counter setting process of S405, the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special symbol is counted, and the first fluctuation table and the second fluctuation table for the second special figure are changed. Set the count value for The count value is set to a different value for each jackpot symbol referenced in the process of S400 (see the first variation table column in FIG. 11).

In the subsequent probability change counter setting process in S406 and the time-shortage counter setting process in S407, a count value for setting the duration of probability change and the time-shortening duration is set. These count the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure, and when the count value is reached, the probability change and the continuation of time reduction are stopped. Note that these count values are set to different values for each jackpot symbol referenced in the process of S400 (see FIG. 11). Then return.
The setting of the variation table, the probability variation counter, and the time reduction counter is substantially set in “special game processing” to be described later, and the processing of S404, S406, and S407 is provisional setting processing.

In the process of S317 in FIG. 8, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S317: no), a loss variation pattern determination process is performed (S321).
As shown in FIG. 12, the loss variation pattern, when both the first special figure and the second special figure are lost with reach when the game state at the time of the lottery is “normal probability and no time” One pattern is determined from the six types of loss variation patterns. In the case of a loss without a reach, a loss variation pattern is set according to the number of reserved memories.

The lost variation pattern in which the gaming state at the time of the lottery is “high probability and short time” is different in the setting process between the first special figure and the second special figure. In the first special figure, the loss variation pattern is set in the same manner as the state where the gaming state is “normal probability and no time”.
On the other hand, in the second special figure, as shown in FIG. 13, when the game state at the time of winning / failing lottery is lost in a state of “high probability and short time”, the fluctuation table is the first fluctuation table (table 1). Depending on which of the second variation tables (table 2) is set, if the first variation table, the reach or non-reach loss variation pattern is determined from the first variation table. In the present embodiment, there is one loss variation pattern in the first variation table.
In the case of the second variation table, in the case of reach, one pattern is determined from six types of hit variation patterns from the second variation table. On the other hand, in the case of non-reach, different loss variation patterns are determined depending on whether the number of reserved storage is zero or one or more.

  FIG. 15 shows a subroutine for performing the process of determining the loss fluctuation pattern of the second special figure, and this process corresponds to “fluctuation table setting means” recited in the claims. In this process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of success / failure has been executed in the probability change table, that is, whether or not the gaming state at the time of the success / failure lottery of the second special figure has changed (S600). If it is a probability variation table (S600: yes), it is confirmed whether the second variation table flag is “1” (S601).

  If the second fluctuation table flag is not “1” (S601: no), the first fluctuation table is set (S602), and the fluctuation table counter set in the process of S405 of “big hit setting process 1” (FIG. 14). The count value is referred to (S603), and the count value is subtracted (S604).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the subtracted count value is “0” (S605). If the count value is “0” (S605: yes), the predetermined number of times that the number of times the first or second special figure fluctuates (number of times of the lottery) is set based on the jackpot symbol since the end of the previous jackpot game. Therefore, the variation table is changed from the first variation table to the second variation table from the next variation of the second special symbol, and “1” is set to the second variation table flag in the process of S606.

  After the process of S606 or if the count value does not appear “0” in the process of S605 (S605: no), whether or not to perform the reach based on the reach determination random number for the pending storage that is the object of the determination in S607 In the case of reach, if not reach, a change pattern is selected (determined) from the first change table (S608, S609).

  If the second variation table flag is “1” in the process of S601 (S601: yes), the second variation table is set (S610). Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the reach is performed (S611). When the reach is performed (S611: yes), the reach variation pattern (variation patterns 3 to 50 in FIG. 17C) is determined from the second variation table. One pattern is selected (determined) (S612).

If the reach is not reach (S611: no), it is confirmed whether the number of the reserved memory of the second special figure is “0” (S613), and if the reserved memory is “0” (S613: yes), the second A variation pattern for normal variation 1 (variation pattern 1 in FIG. 17C) is selected (determined) from the variation table (S614).
If the number of reserved storage is not “0” but one or more (S613: no), the variation pattern for normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 17C) is selected (determined) (S615).

When it is confirmed in the process of S600 that the gaming state is not a probability change but a normal probability state (S600: no), the process proceeds to the process of S620 shown in FIG. When the gaming state is not a certain change, the change pattern is determined from the change table of FIG. 17A or FIG. 18B instead of the first or second change table.
In the process of S620, the time flag is checked to confirm whether or not the gaming state is a time-saving game. If the time flag is “1” and the time is short (S620: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the reach is performed (S621). When the reach is performed (S621: yes), the time is shortened with the low probability of FIG. One pattern is selected (determined) from the variation pattern for reach (variation patterns 3 to 30) from the useful variation table (S622).

If it is not reach (S621: no), it is confirmed whether the number of reserved memory in the second special figure is “0” (S623), and if the reserved memory is “0” (S623: yes), normal fluctuation The variation pattern for 1 (variation pattern 1 in FIG. 18B) is selected (determined) (S624).
If the number of reserved storages is not “0” but one or more (S623: no), the variation pattern for normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 18B) is selected (determined) (S625).

  If the time is not short in the process of S620 (S620: no), it is confirmed whether or not reach is to be performed (S626). If reach is to be performed (S626: yes), the low-probability fluctuation with low probability in FIG. One pattern is selected (determined) from the variation pattern for reach (variation patterns 4 to 51) from the table (S627).

If it is not reach (S626: no), it is checked whether the number of reserved memory in the second special figure is “0” (S628), and if the reserved memory is “0” (S628: yes), normal fluctuation The variation pattern for 1 (variation pattern 1 in FIG. 17A) is selected (determined) (S629).
If the reserved memory is not “0” (S628: no), when the reserved memory is 1 or 2, the fluctuation pattern for the normal fluctuation 2 (the fluctuation pattern 2 in FIG. 17A) is three, and the reserved memory is three. In this case, the variation pattern for the normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 17A) is selected (determined) (S630).

  When determining whether or not the first special figure is correct, the variation table of FIG. 17A and FIG. 18A are used in accordance with the gaming states of low probability and short time, high probability and short time, and low probability and short time. And the fluctuation pattern is selected (determined) from the fluctuation table of (b). In the subsequent process of S322 in FIG.

  After the big hit setting process of S320 or the loss setting process of S322, in the process of S323, the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B is subjected to the symbol variation start control, and the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integration are performed. A symbol change start command is transmitted to the control device 83, and the process proceeds to "special game processing". The variation start command includes a lottery result such as a variation pattern of a special figure and a prize winning opening game lottery.

  When the first special figure or the second special figure is changing in the process of S301 in FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, when it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has passed (S330: yes) ), In the fixed symbol display process (S331), the variation end of the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B, and the pseudo symbol variable display on the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 A command is transmitted so as to end the game, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If the confirmed symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has ended (S340). ). If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the first special symbol or the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B or the first special symbol display device 16B by the fixed symbol display end setting process (S341). The final symbol display of the second special figure is terminated, and a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integrated control device 83 so as to terminate the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the first special figure or the second special figure. .

  Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is a big hit combination (S342). If it is a big hit combination (S342: yes), if the probability variation flag is 1, ( S343: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S344). Next, if the time reduction flag is 1 (S345: yes), 0 is set in the time reduction flag (S346).

In the process of S347, the operation of the condition device is started, and in the process of S348, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Then, a command is sent to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process (S349), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is confirmed whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S350), the probability variation flag is 1 (S350: yes), and the probability variation counter is 0 (S351). : Yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S352).
In the subsequent process, if the hour / hour flag is 1 (S353: yes) and the hour / hour counter is 0 (S353: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to 0 (S355).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

As shown in FIG. 19, in the “special game process”, first, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500). If it is operating (S500: yes), the winning prize opening 25 is determined in the process of S501. Check if is open. In S500, if the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening is not open in the process of S501 (S501: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S502), if not during the interval (S502: no), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S503), If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S503: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S504). If the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S504: yes), the winning prize opening process of S505 is performed. Then open the grand prize opening 25 and return.

  If the big prize opening is being opened in the process of S501 (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, confirmation is made as to whether or not nine prizes that are the prescribed number of prizes have been received in the big prize opening 25 (S510), or It is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 25 has ended (S511), and if either can be confirmed, the big prize opening 25 is closed (S512), the big hit interval process is executed (S513), and the process returns. In the big hit interval process, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to start the big hit interval effect.

If it is during the interval in the process of S502 of FIG. 19 (S502: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has elapsed in the process of S514 of FIG. 20, and if it has elapsed (S514: yes), whether it is the final round. Confirmation (S515), if it is the final round (S515: yes), the big hit end effect processing (S516) is executed, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 by this processing. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S515: no), the process of releasing the special winning opening 25 (S517) is executed and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S503 in FIG. 19 (S503: yes), as shown in FIG. 21, it is confirmed whether the end time of the jackpot end effect time has passed (S520). S520: yes), a process (S521) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S522) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

  Subsequently, in the process of S523, the temporary setting contents set in the “big hit setting process 1” in FIG. 14 are referred to, the probability variation count (probability variation counter) setting processing (S524), the time reduction count (hour reduction counter) setting processing (S525). )I do. Next, a variation table setting process is performed (S526). In this case, since the gaming state after the big hit game is probable and time-saving, a table with a high probability of time-saving (FIG. 18 (a)) is set as the variation table for the first special figure, and the second special figure is obtained. The first variation table (FIG. 17B) is set as the variation table for use.

Further, since the gaming state after the big hit game is changed with certainty and time shortening, 1 is set in the probability changing flag (S527), and 1 is set in the hourly flag (S528).
Thereafter, a jackpot game end command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integrated control device 83 (S529), and information indicating whether or not the high-probability gaming state is in the open extension is transmitted as a state designation command. (S530). Return later.

  As described above, after the big hit game is over, the gaming state becomes probabilistic and time-saving, and the first variation table is set as a variation table for selecting the variation pattern of the second special figure. When the game progresses and the number of successful lotteries (number of fluctuations) of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches the set value of the fluctuation table counter, the fluctuation table for the second special figure is changed to the second fluctuation table. Is done. When the game further progresses and the number of winning / failing lotteries reaches the setting value of the probability variation counter, the variation table is changed from the second variation table to the variation table for low probability.

  The first fluctuation table has a short fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation pattern that it has, for example, the average number of balls that are entered with one opening of the electric utility of the second special figure starting port 22B is more than the above-mentioned normal number. The fluctuation time is such that the number of fluctuations of the second special figure increases at the opening interval from the opening of the electric character to the next opening. Therefore, as shown in “a typical variation example of the first variation table period” in FIG. 22, the variation of the second special figure is executed with priority, and the variation time of the second special diagram is short. Even if the reserved memory in the figure is full (four), the reserved memory of the second special figure is consumed on average until the next general public utility release, and the fluctuation of the first special figure is started.

  On the other hand, when the change table is changed to the second change table, the loss change pattern of the change table has a longer change time than the first change table. The fluctuation time is such that the number of fluctuations of the second special figure in the opening interval from the opening of the general electric utility to the next opening is smaller than the average number of balls entering. Accordingly, as shown in “a typical variation example of the second variation table period” shown in FIG. 22, the variation of the second special chart is preferentially executed and the variation time is long. The variation of the second special figure continues until the bonus is released. Therefore, next time the electric utility object opens and enters the ball, the reserved memory of the second special figure increases, and the fluctuation of the second special figure is continued.

  In this way, the ratio of the change opportunity of the first special figure and the change opportunity of the second special figure can be changed between the first change table and the second change table. According to this, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is substantially a normal gaming state with a low probability and no short time, a gaming state with a low probability and a short time, a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and further these games. In addition to the state, in the gaming state with a high probability and a short time, it becomes a gaming state with many fluctuation opportunities of the first special figure and a gaming state with a lot of fluctuation chances in the second special figure, which is advantageous also in a gaming state with a high probability and short time The state which is not and the state which is not so can be provided. In this case, since the game content at the time of the big hit is more advantageous in the case of the variation of the second special figure, the probability of winning in the second special figure is improved in the game state having a lot of fluctuation opportunities in the second special figure. It is advantageous for the player to win a prize ball. On the other hand, it can be considered that the variation of the first special chart makes the game content at the time of big hit more advantageous. In that case, there is an interest in how to win a big hit with the first special figure at the time of the first variation table. In this way, the gaming state becomes diverse and the entertainment of the game can be enriched.

  In addition, since the first half of the gaming state period with high probability and short time is the first variation table and the second half is the second variation table, the variation opportunity of the second special figure is improved as the game progresses, 2. The player's interest is gathered in the fluctuation of the special figure, and the effect of increasing the player's expectation and tension is also exhibited.

  Furthermore, since a plurality of types of count values of the counter for switching the first and second fluctuation tables according to the special figure at the time of the big hit are provided, the first and second fluctuation tables can be switched according to the special figure. By switching to the second variation table early, the player's sense of expectation is continued, and conversely, by slowing down the switching, the player's feeling of frustration is increased.

23 to 26 show display examples of effect display of the effect symbol display device 15 of the present embodiment.
In the state where the first variation table is set, there is a possibility that the variation of the first special figure is performed. When the first variation table is set, as shown in FIG. In addition, a pseudo-pattern 151 composed of three digits is displayed in a variable manner, and an explanation display 152 of “search mode” is displayed on the upper right, and when the main character Tatsuyoshi 153 finds an enemy boss character, an effect that is a big hit is performed. Note that the reserved symbol number 154 of the first special figure is displayed in the lower left of the effect symbol display device 15, and the reserved memory number 155 of the first special figure is displayed in the lower right.

Since the fluctuation time at the time of losing of the second special chart according to the first fluctuation table is short, even when the fluctuation of the second special figure is reached, it is immediately lost.
On the other hand, since the fluctuation time of the first special figure is long even when the first fluctuation table is set, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the fluctuation of the first special figure is reach, the pseudo symbol 151 is set as reach, and Tatsuyoshi Directs as if he found a boss.
Thereafter, in the case of a big hit, as shown in FIG. 23C, the pseudo-design 151 is aligned and the boss 156 appears.

By the way, at the time of setting the first variation table, the player's interest is concentrated on whether the first special figure is a big hit or the second special figure is a big hit. That is, the number of rounds of the big hit game differs depending on the special figure that is a big hit, and the second special figure can be expected to acquire a large number of prize balls. Therefore, an effect (corresponding to the “first effect” described in the claims) indicating the number of rounds acquired at the time of the big hit, in which the player is more interested than the reach effect, is performed.
For example, as the effect display of the seventh round of the big hit game, as shown in FIG. 24A, the effect that Tatsuyoshi 153 and the boss 156 fight in the “battle mode” is performed on the effect symbol display device 15.
Here, when the final round of the big hit game is 7R, as shown in FIGS. 24B and 24C, an effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed as Tatsuyoshi 153 loses to the boss 156.
On the other hand, when the last round of jackpot game is 7R or more and the jackpot game is continued, as shown in FIGS. 24D and 24E, Tatsuyoshi 153 wins the boss 156 and notifies the continuation of the jackpot game. Produce.

In the state where the second variation table is set, the variation of the second special figure is almost all, and the player's interest is concentrated on whether or not the reach will be a big hit. Therefore, a “battle mode” reach effect is performed that has a higher appeal than the “search mode” reach (corresponding to the “second effect” recited in the claims).
As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a three-digit pseudo symbol 151 is displayed in a variable manner on the upper left of the effect symbol display device 15, and an effect in which Tatsuyoshi 153 and the boss 156 fight is performed.
As shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the pseudo symbol 151 becomes reach and Tatsuyoshi 153 loses to the boss 156, an effect of notifying the loss is performed as shown in FIG. 25 (c).
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25D, when the pseudo symbol 151 becomes reach and Tatsuyoshi 153 wins the boss 156, an effect of notifying the big hit is performed as shown in FIG. In this way, by directing the game points of each variation table in a battle effect, the player can intuitively win the game in each variation table (if the first variation table, the big hit game content, If it is the second variation table, it is possible to grasp whether or not it is a big hit.
In addition, although it showed with the battle production in this embodiment, it is also possible to produce with the mini game production or mission production etc. which can show a result by victory / losing or success / failure similarly.

Further, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), when the first variation table is installed, both the first special diagram and the second special diagram may vary. The configuration may be represented by eight set hold displays 157 without distinguishing the hold storage in the figure. According to this, by making it impossible to determine whether the hold storage is the first special chart or the second special chart, it is possible to determine whether or not the second special symbol having a high advantage at the time of the big hit is a big hit. You can hold it up and increase your gameplay.
On the other hand, when the second variation table is set, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the reserved symbol number 154 of the first special figure is shown at the lower left of the effect symbol display device 15, and the reserved memory of the first special figure is shown at the lower right. Expression 155 is displayed individually.
In FIG. 26, 158 represents the character's bear Tatsuyoshi, and 159 and 160 are comment displays indicating that the first variation table is set and the second variation table is set.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above embodiment, the first variation table and the second variation table are set according to the number of variations of the first special figure and the second special figure. However, in the present embodiment, the number of big hit games (number of consecutive chants) Counter is provided, and the first variation table and the second variation table are set according to the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure and the number of consecutive big hits.
For example, when the number of consecutive chunks reaches 10, after the big hit game is finished, the second variation table having high advantage is set without setting the first variation table. The basic configuration of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

In the present embodiment, when the number of consecutive chunks has not reached 10, the first variation table is set after the big hit game is finished, and the first special diagram and the second special diagram shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b). The count value of the variation table counter is set according to the big hit symbol. And if the frequency | count of a fluctuation | variation of a 1st special figure and a 2nd special figure reaches the said count value, it will change to a 2nd fluctuation table.
On the other hand, when the number of consecutive chunks reaches 10, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 27 (b), the count value of the fluctuation table counter is set to “0” in both the big special symbols of the first special figure and the second special figure. This sets the variation table after the big hit game to the second variation table.

In the present embodiment, the “win / fail determination process” shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 is executed in the same manner as the previous embodiment, and the “hit setting process 2” shown in FIG. 28 is executed in the process of S320.
In the “big hit setting process 2”, first, the determined big hit symbol is referred to (S410), and the mode of the big hit game is set based on the big hit symbol (S411). In the subsequent processing of S412, S413, since the reward game state after the jackpot game is finished, probability change and time reduction are given, so the probability change grant flag indicating that the jackpot game will be surely changed before the jackpot game ends, and before the jackpot game end The time grant flag is set to 1 to indicate that the time is short.

  In the symbol corresponding content setting process of S414, whether to use the corresponding content (symbol corresponding content 1) of the first special symbol and the second special symbol shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b) according to the number of consecutive chunks. 27 (a) and 27 (b), it is determined whether or not to use the corresponding contents (symbol corresponding contents 2) of the big hit symbols of the first special figure and the second special figure.

The “symbol correspondence content setting process” shifts to the subroutine shown in FIG. 29 and confirms whether or not the release extension function is in operation (S700), thereby confirming whether the big hit game has been executed. If the open extension is not in operation (S700: no), the process returns.
If the open extension is in operation (S700: yes), the continuous channel counter is added (S701). Next, it is confirmed whether the symbol correspondence content 2 flag for setting the symbol correspondence content 2 shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B is “1” (S702), and the symbol correspondence inside 2 flag is “1”. If not (S702: no), it is confirmed whether the continuous counter is "10" (S703).

If the continuous counter is “10” (S703: yes), “1” is set in the symbol correspondence content 2 flag (S704), and symbol correspondence content 2 is set (S705).
If the continuous channel counter is not “10” in the processing of S703 (S703: no), the symbol correspondence content 1 is set (S706).

  Returning to S415 of FIG. 28, in this process, the variation table for determining the variation pattern of the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure from the next time is set. Here, the first variation table is set for the second special figure at any time of the symbol correspondence contents 1 and 2. However, when the symbol correspondence content 2 is set, the count value of a later-described variation table counter is “0”, so that the second variation table is substantially set for the second special diagram.

  In step S416, the variation table counter setting process counts the number of variations of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and uses a count value for changing the first variation table and the second variation table for the second special diagram. , The jackpot symbol referred in the processing of S410 and the set symbol correspondence content 1 or 2 is set. When the symbol correspondence content 2 is set, the count value of the variation table counter is set to “0” regardless of whether the jackpot symbol is the symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol (FIG. 27 (a) ( b)).

  In the subsequent probability change counter setting process in S417 and the time reduction counter setting process in S418, a count value for setting the probability change duration and the time reduction duration is set. These count values are set according to the jackpot symbol referred to in the processing of S400 and the set symbol corresponding content 1 or 2 (see FIGS. 11, 27A and 27B). Then return.

  According to this embodiment, the same effect as the previous embodiment can be obtained, and when the number of jackpot occurrences reaches 10, the variation pattern of the second special figure is selected from the second variation table, and the variation time Is long and the variation of the second special figure is continuous, which is advantageous for the player, and the player's expectation and tension can be further enhanced.

  As still another embodiment of the present invention, the number of types of variation tables for the second special figure may be increased. For example, the first variation table, the second variation table, and the third variation table in which the variation average time of the variation pattern is longer than that of the second variation table are provided as the variation table for the second special figure. When the count value of the continuous counter that counts the number of big hits reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 times), the first variation table or the second variation table is changed to the third variation table. The basic configuration is almost the same as that of the other embodiment having a continuous counter.

  When setting the third variation table, as shown in FIG. 27C, the variation table counter for determining the setting period of the third variation table is set for all jackpot symbols regardless of the first special diagram and the second special diagram. The count value (represented as the third variation table in the figure) is set to 60 times, and the setting of the third variation table is continued during the period in which the gaming state is the probability variation state.

  According to the present embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the previous embodiments can be obtained, and when the number of jackpot occurrences reaches 10, the variation pattern of the second special figure is selected from the third variation table, and the variation Since the time is long and the variation of the second special figure continues, it is possible to further improve the player's sense of expectation and tension.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can of course be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, there is only one type of variation table for the first special figure when the gaming state is highly probable and there is a short time, but not limited to this, like the variation table for the second special figure, A first variation table and a second variation table having different variation times may be used.
