Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol in a game area in the game board, an effect display device that displays a predetermined effect, and a special winning opening (starting port) that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol. ), Etc., and when a game ball launched toward the game area wins the special winning opening, an electronic lottery related to the special symbol is performed and the special symbol is changed on the special symbol display device. The result of the electronic lottery is notified by displaying the mode of stopping. If the result of the electronic lottery is a win, a special symbol indicating that the win is on the special symbol display device is stopped and a win game advantageous to the player is provided. In this win game, the game device enters the winning prize opening that is exposed by opening and closing the attacker device a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  The conventional pachinko machine includes a plurality of hits generally referred to as, for example, a probability change, a normal hit, a sudden hit, a small hit, and the like as the types of hits related to the special symbol. Probability wins and sudden wins are based on the fact that when the winning game based on these wins ends, the winning state of the electronic lottery related to the special symbol is high until the next hit, so that the gaming state changes to a so-called high probability changing state. is there. However, there is a difference in the number of opening and / or opening time of the attacker device during the winning game between the probability variation and the sudden probability, for example, when winning per probability variation, the actress device is 30 seconds per time or 10 pachinko balls The operation of releasing until winning an individual is defined as one round, and a game is provided for performing this operation for 16 rounds.

  On the other hand, when winning at the chance of winning, for example, an operation in which the attacker device releases 0.2 seconds at a time is defined as one round, and a game in which this operation is performed for two rounds is provided. Therefore, a lot of pachinko balls are won in the attacker device at the probability variation, so that a lot of prize balls can be obtained. However, since almost no pachinko balls are won in the attacker device, it is almost impossible to expect the winning ball. Thus, there is a large difference in the winning balls that can be obtained by the player between the probability variation and the sudden probability. That is, the probability change is a chance that the player can obtain a prize ball, and the sudden chance is a chance that the player is less likely to obtain a prize ball than the probability change.

  On the other hand, in the normal win, the winning game provided is the same as or equivalent to the probable win, but when the win game based on the normal win (16 rounds) ends, the game state returns to the normal state, which is different from the probable win. . Therefore, although the normal hit is a hit where the player can win a prize ball, it is disadvantageous in the post-game state as compared to the probable hit.

  The small hit is the same as the winning hit as a winning game. In other words, in the same way as in the odd hit, the player is unlikely to win a prize ball. In addition, while the winning hit is after winning the game (after the 2nd round), it shifts to the high probability fluctuation state, while the small winning is after the winning game (after the 2nd round), the gaming state is at the time of winning the small win It is different in that the game state is maintained. In other words, if the winning state is won when the gaming state is in the normal state, the gaming state when the winning game based on the small end is maintained in the normal state, and if the winning state is in the high probability variation state, The gaming state when the winning game based on winning is finished is maintained in a high probability variation state. Therefore, the small hit may be disadvantageous in the post-game state as compared to the winning hit.

  If the above-mentioned hit types are classified based on whether the player can win a prize ball, that is, whether or not there is a ball, what is categorized as a ball that has a ball is a probable hit and a normal ball. The hits that are not classified are the odd hits and the small hits. Here, in the present specification, the winning where the player can win a prize ball, that is, the hit where the player has a ball is simply referred to as a “winning ball”, and the player cannot acquire a winning ball, or almost A winning that cannot be obtained, that is, a winning that has no or almost no appearance, is simply referred to as “no winning appearance”.

  By the way, in recent years, it has become widely accepted by players that the game is such that it keeps the player interested in the game by making it difficult for the player to predict which of these multiple wins has been won. .

  For example, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, in the game over a predetermined period after the winning game, when winning either the normal winning or probable winning, that is, winning per winning ball, There is disclosed a technique for performing an effect that does not allow a player to know whether a normal state or a high probability variation state.

  Further, in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4, in a game over a predetermined period after the winning game, when winning either a winning hit or a small hit, that is, winning per winning game, A technique for producing such an effect that it is impossible to know which win was won is disclosed.

  According to these prior arts described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, since it is not known whether the current gaming state is a high probability variation state or a normal state, it may have shifted to a high probability variation state. The game can be enjoyed for a predetermined period after the winning game is over.

  However, in the techniques described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, since the gaming state can be recognized when the game for a predetermined period after the winning game ends, the gaming state at the end of the game for the predetermined period is the normal state. If the player knows that the player cannot expect to win a prize ball even if he continues to play further, the interest in the game will decline, and the prize will be exchanged for prizes. There were many things to do. Therefore, the prior art described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has a problem that the operation of the pachinko machine is reduced.

  In addition, in the techniques described in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4, since the game performance is such that the player does not recognize whether the winning winning or the small winning winning is won, and which winning is won. Even so, the player cannot get the prize ball. For this reason, even if the winning combination is won, the player must continue to play the game by inserting banknotes and borrowing pachinko balls until the next winning combination is won. Therefore, if it is too difficult to predict whether the winning hit or the small win is won, an extra economic burden is imposed on the player, and the interest in the game is reduced. In other words, the prior art described in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 makes the game state excessively secret even when there is no game, thereby reducing the game preference and causing a decrease in pachinko machine operation. It had the problem of being over.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the purpose thereof is a pachinko machine that allows a player to maintain an interest in a game while having a reasonable expectation according to the presence or absence of a prize ball that the player acquires. Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a special design based on a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and a game ball winning in the start opening. A special symbol lottery means for performing a lottery, an effect display device for displaying a lottery result by the special symbol lottery means, an effect control processing unit for controlling the display of the effect display device, and a lottery by the special symbol lottery means. A winning game control means for providing a winning game when winning, and as the winning type, the player can win a winning ball, and the player wins a winning ball from the winning ball a first output Tamanashi per and second output Tamanashi per less likely to get, but at least the set pachinko machine, the effect control process unit, among a plurality of presentation modes A normal effect table that is associated with the normal effect mode in advance and stores a plurality of effect modes; and a plurality of effect modes that are previously associated with the special effect mode among the plurality of effect modes and stored in the normal effect table; An effect mode storage unit storing at least two effect tables of special effect tables storing a plurality of different special effect modes, and an effect mode decision for determining any effect mode from the plurality of effect modes An effect mode determining means that determines an effect mode with reference to an effect table corresponding to the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining means, and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining means is displayed on the effect display device. comprising a effect display control means for the said effect display control means, wherein the lottery result when elected as the first output per Tamanashi A lottery result when the winning per Tamanashi out of 2 displays a common representation embodiment, the presentation mode determining means lottery whether the effect mode in this game to the special effect mode effect a mode promotion lottery means includes a demonstration mode tumble lottery means an effect mode in this game lottery whether the normal effect mode, a left of the first output Tamanashi and per second In the game after the winning game based on hitting no balls , when the production mode is the special production mode, a lottery is performed by the production mode falling lottery means, and when the lottery is won, the production mode is changed from the special production mode to the special production mode. Although it falls to the normal production mode, the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery is performed in the subsequent games, and when the lottery is won, the production mode is changed to the above-mentioned production mode. The probability that the production mode is promoted from the normal production mode to the special production mode in the game after the production mode is promoted to the special production mode and the production mode falls from the special production mode to the normal production mode is , And the difference between the first no-ball-out and the second no-ball-out .

Thus the present invention constructed, exits when the player wins per Tamanashi In view of the fact that not earn prize balls, effect display of so as to identify the type of per at a relatively early stage to the player Control can be done to keep players from frustrating.

  According to the present invention, since the difficulty level for identifying the subsequent game state is changed according to the presence or absence of the game at the time of winning the game, the game can be played while holding a reasonable expectation to the player. Can be done. Moreover, this invention also prevents the operation | movement fall of a pachinko machine.

Next, the configuration of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The game board 3 has a game area 31 on the board surface, and the game area 31 can be observed from the glass plate 10 after being attached to the front frame 2. The game area 31 is partitioned and formed into a substantially circular shape by a guide rail 32 for sliding the game ball and a game ball regulating rail 33, and the game ball launched by the launching device 9 flows down in the game area 31. To do. Further, in the game area 31, the special symbol display device 17, the effect display device 34, the through chucker 21, the normal symbol display device 22, the electric tulip 49, the stage 36, and the first start prize opening (start ) 37a and second start winning opening (starting opening) 37b, a general winning opening 38, an out opening 39, a game nail (not shown), a windmill (not shown), an attacker device 41 and the like are provided. It has been. The first start winning opening 37a and the second start winning opening 37b are provided with a space in the vertical direction.

  The effect display device 34 is provided in a substantially central portion of the game board 3 and is an electronic lottery for a special symbol that is performed when a game ball wins at the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b. A predetermined effect mode is displayed based on the result, and a liquid crystal display device is used in this embodiment. On the effect display device 34, as a part of a predetermined effect mode, a dummy symbol (effect symbol) is variably displayed in synchronization with the special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol display device 17. . The effect display device 34 is a display for performing a hold display (display that the hold ball random number is stored) when the hold ball random number is stored in the hold ball random number storage (memory) 115a, 115b. A region is defined. That is, the display area portion is the holding ball display device 34a.

  The special symbol display device 17 is for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the special symbol that is performed when the game ball wins in the first start winning port 37a and the second starting winning port 37b. More specifically, the lottery result is displayed in such a manner that the lottery result is stopped after the special symbol (number or pattern) is changed. This special symbol display device 17 uses a 7-segment display in the present embodiment, and is separated from the lower right portion of the game board 3 so as not to enter the field of view of the player watching the effect display device 34 at the same time. Is provided. In the present embodiment, the game based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning port 37b is executed with priority over the game based on the winning of the game ball in the first starting winning port 37a. Therefore, the lottery results of both the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are not displayed simultaneously. Therefore, the result of the lottery based on the winning of the game ball in the two start winning openings 37a and 37b is displayed on one special symbol display device 17.

  The through chucker 21 has a gate structure through which a game ball can pass, and a magnetic sensor type through chucker detection sensor 46 that detects that the game ball has passed is incorporated therein. In addition, a normal symbol display device 22 for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol performed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 is provided next to the special symbol display device 17. . In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display device 22 is composed of two LED lamps, and one LED lamp is lit when hitting a normal figure, and the other LED lamp is lit when lost. ing.

  The electric tulip 49 is provided at the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b, and includes a pair of blade members that rotate about an axis orthogonal to the surface of the game board 3. When the solenoid is energized, The blade members are rotated in directions away from each other, and the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b is enlarged. As long as the electric tulip 49 is not opened, the game ball will not win the second start winning opening 37b. Further, the stage 36 is a structure that is disposed below the effect display device 34 and in which the game ball stays temporarily while rolling. A groove is formed at the center of the stage 36, and a first start winning opening 37a is arranged at a position directly below the groove. Therefore, the game ball dropped from the groove is guided to the first start winning opening 37a with a high probability.

  The attacker device 41 wins as a result of an electronic lottery concerning a special symbol that is triggered by a game ball winning in the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b (in this embodiment, the winning hit is normal, and the normal winning hit is This is a device that is opened a predetermined number of times when it becomes a winning hit and a small hit) and shifts to a winning game. As will be described in detail later, the attack device 41 is opened for 16 rounds in the case of the odd hit and the normal hit, whereas the attacker device 41 is opened in only two rounds in the case of the sudden hit and the small hit. Therefore, when the attacker device 41 is opened for 16 rounds, the grand prize opening 42 is exposed, and a lot of prize balls can be obtained by winning game balls there. Can not. In other words, the probability change and the normal hit are equivalent to the presence of the ball according to the present invention, and the sudden hit and the small hit are equivalent to the hit without the ball according to the present invention.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the general winning opening 38, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. The game balls that have not entered the first start winning opening 37a, the second start winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the attacker device 41 are collected from the out opening 39. It should be noted that sensors 43a, 43b, 44, 45 for detecting the passage of game balls are respectively provided in the first start winning opening 37a, the second starting winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the large winning opening 42 (FIG. 4). Reference) is provided.

  The front board 6 is provided with a receiving tray 5 that accommodates game balls and can be discharged to the outside. This tray 5 can accommodate not only game balls thrown by the player but also game balls paid out as prize balls from the prize ball payout device 14. A launching device 9 for launching game balls toward the game area 31 is attached to the lower part of the front frame 2, and the game balls accommodated in the tray 5 are supplied to the launching device 9 one by one. The Then, when the handle 7 attached to the lower right of the front board 6 is rotated, the launching device 9 can launch the game ball to the game area 31 with a launch intensity corresponding to the turning amount. Yes. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the touch button 60 which a player press-downs is provided in the side part of the saucer 5. As shown in FIG.

  The main control processing unit 11 is provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like. The main control device 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory) for storing a predetermined control program, and a RAM (Temporary storage of generated processing information and a RAM for deleting stored information ( Random Access Memory) and the like. When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a special symbol lottery unit (special symbol lottery means) 110 that performs electronic lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b, A special symbol determination unit 120a, 120b that determines a special symbol according to the lottery result determined by the special symbol lottery unit 110, and a variation pattern command determination unit for determining a variation pattern command that is a command related to the variation time of the special symbol ( When the determination of the lottery result by the variation pattern command determining means) 130 and the special symbol lottery unit 110 is successful, the attack device 41 (solenoid thereof) is operated to shift to the winning game (winning game control) Means) 160 and the normal symbol drawing for performing the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 A section (normal symbol lottery means) 170, the main control unit 11 and an electric tulip operation control unit 180 that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49 is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol lottery unit 110 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). A special symbol random number generating unit (special symbol random number generating means) 111 to be generated, and a first special symbol lottery unit for performing a lottery related to the special symbol when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a 119a, and a second special symbol lottery section 119b for performing a lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. In other words, in the present embodiment, the special symbol lottery is performed in response to winning the first start winning port 37a, and two special symbols are performed in response to winning the second starting winning port 37b. It has the lottery means concerning.

  The first special symbol lottery unit 119a is a random number (when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 11) when a game ball has won the first starting winning port 37a. The first special symbol random number acquiring unit (special symbol random number acquiring means) 112a that acquires (latches) one of the two symbols and whether or not the random number acquired by the first special symbol random number acquiring unit 112a is a hit. When the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a and the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a, which are determined with reference to the one special symbol high probability determination table 116a or the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, acquire random numbers When the special symbol is fluctuating, the first reserved ball random number storage unit 1 that stores the acquired random number as a reserved ball random number up to four (in other words, up to an upper limit of four as a predetermined number). Includes a 5a, the. Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of being hit than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

  Similarly to the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning port 37b (the detection signal from the starting winning port detection sensor 43b is the main control process). The second special symbol random number obtaining unit (special symbol random number obtaining means) 112b that obtains (latches) one random number (at the timing input to the unit 11) and the second special symbol random number obtaining unit 112b obtain A second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b that determines whether or not the random number is a hit (per special symbol) with reference to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b; 2 When the special symbol random number acquisition unit 112b acquires a random number and the special symbol is fluctuating, the acquired random number is a maximum of four reserved ball random numbers (in other words, a predetermined number Up to four upper) includes a second hold ball random number memory unit 115b for storing, a. Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of being hit than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b.

  In the present embodiment, there are four hits as hits: normal hit (per hitting), probability variation (per hitting), small hit (per no hitting), and sudden hit (per hitting). The first special symbol lottery unit 119a and the second special symbol lottery unit 119b only determine whether or not the acquired random number is a win, and the determination of what type of win is described later. The 1 special symbol determination part 120a and the 2nd special symbol determination part 120b are performing.

  If the winning game is based on the probability change and the odds winning game, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the first determination symbol are used as the determination tables to be referred to in the game until the winning of the next winning game after the winning game based on the winning game ends. 2 The special symbol high probability determination table 116b is referred to (the gaming state is a so-called high probability variation state). On the other hand, if the winning is based on the normal winning, after the winning game based on the normal winning is finished, the game is performed with reference to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. (The game state is a so-called normal state).

  In addition, when winning a small hit, after the winning game based on the small hit is completed, the game is played in the gaming state when winning the small hit. That is, when winning a small hit in a normal state with reference to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the first special symbol low probability continues even after a winning game based on the small hit. When the determination table 1167a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 117b are referred to, and the small bonus is won in the high probability fluctuation state with reference to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b The first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are referred to even after the winning game based on the small hit.

  Here, when winning per normal win and probable win, the action that the cutter device 41 opens for 30 seconds or until 10 pachinko balls are won is set as one round, and the game where this action is performed for 16 rounds. Provided by the hit game control unit 160. On the other hand, in the case of winning in the small win and the winning hit, the operation that the attacker device 41 opens for 0.2 seconds at one time is defined as one round, and the winning game for performing this operation for two rounds is provided by the winning game control unit 160. The Therefore, when the player wins the normal hit and the probability change, the player can obtain 16 rounds of winning balls, but when the player wins the small hit and the odd hit, the opening time of the attacker device 41 is extremely short. Therefore, it is almost impossible to get a prize ball. In other words, the normal hit and the probable hit are hits with a lot of balls, and the small hit and the odd hit are hits without a ball. It is more advantageous for the player to win the probability change because the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a is referred to in the game after the win game than to win the normal win. Also, in a normal game state, winning a winning hit is more advantageous than winning a small win because it becomes a high probability variation state after the winning game.

  Next, when the lottery result by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is a win, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of the special symbol corresponding to the win. The special symbol types are associated in advance with the above-mentioned normal hit, probability variation, small hit, and odd hit, and when the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the special symbol type, the special symbol type Therefore, the winning type in the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is determined. For example, when the first special symbol lottery unit 119a wins a lottery and the first special symbol determination unit 120a wins a special symbol corresponding to the normal lottery, the game win is determined to be a normal hit. The winning game based on the normal hit, that is, the game in which the attacker device 41 is released for 16 rounds is performed, and the next game after the winning game is finished, the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low The probability determination table 117b is referred to. The second special symbol determination unit 120b also determines the type of the special symbol according to the lottery result by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b, similarly to the first special symbol determination unit 120a.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the variation pattern command determination unit (variation pattern command determination unit) 130 generates a variation pattern random number generation unit (variation pattern random number generation unit) that generates a variation pattern random number used to determine a variation pattern command. ) 131, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a for determining the variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a, and the game ball won in the second start winning opening 37b A second variation pattern command determination unit 130b for determining a variation pattern command based on the above is configured.

  The random number generator for variation pattern 131 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (from 0 to 9) based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Is generated.

  The first variation pattern command determination unit 130a obtains one random number from among the variation pattern random numbers generated by the variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. The first variation pattern random number acquisition unit (variation pattern random number acquisition unit) 132a and the first variation pattern random number storage unit 133a that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the first variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a. Random number for variation pattern and variation pattern No. And a first variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134a in which a plurality of tables are stored. The variation pattern command determination unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, acquires one random number for variation pattern for the winning, like the first special symbol lottery unit 119a.

  Similarly to the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b also generates a variation pattern generated by the variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. A random number acquisition unit (variation pattern random number acquisition means) 132b for acquiring one random number from random numbers for random use, and up to four random numbers acquired by the random number acquisition unit for second variation pattern 132b A random number storage unit 133b for second variation pattern to be stored, a random number for variation pattern, and a variation pattern No. And a second variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134b in which a plurality of tables are stored. When one game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130b acquires one random number for the fluctuation pattern for the winning, similarly to the second special symbol lottery part 119b.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first variation pattern command table 134 a includes a winning time table 134 a-1 that is referred to when the first special symbol lottery unit 119 a wins a lottery, and a first special symbol lottery unit. Two tables, a lost time table 134a-2, which is referred to when lost in the lottery by 119b, are stored. Are configured in advance. That is, when the variation pattern random number is determined, the variation pattern No. is determined from the variation pattern random number. The (variation pattern command) is automatically determined. The configuration of the second variation pattern command table 134b is the same as that of the first variation pattern command table 134a, and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted. Here, in the present embodiment, 10 variation pattern random numbers from 0 to 9, variation pattern no. No. 1-No. 10, No. 11-No. However, the number of fluctuation pattern random numbers and the fluctuation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery unit 170 receives a normal ball random number generator (general symbol random number generator) 171 for generating random numbers and a through ball through the through chucker 21 (through). A normal symbol random number acquisition unit (normal symbol random number acquisition means) 172 that acquires (latches) one random number at a timing when a detection signal from the chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11, and the normal symbol The normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 172 is per ordinary figure is determined when the normal symbol random number acquisition unit 172 acquires random numbers. When the symbol is fluctuating, the normal symbol reserved ball storage unit 174 that stores the acquired random number as the normal symbol reserved ball random number, and the determination table is confirmed to be won for each regular symbol. It is provided with a lower normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and a normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is a high probability to win per Hiroshi view than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. The normal symbol random number generator 171 generates fewer random numbers than the special symbol random number generator 111, but has the same configuration for generating random numbers.

  The normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is limited to the time-short mode (specific game state) that is performed only 100 times after the winning game of both the winning game based on the probability variation and the winning game based on the normal winning is completed. It is the determination table referred to. That is, the probability of winning the lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is high only for 100 games after the end of the hit game based on the probability variation and the normal winning. Therefore, in the time saving mode, the player can play a game without reducing pachinko balls.

  The winning game control unit 160 controls to open and close the attacker device 41 by a predetermined number of rounds (2 rounds or 16 rounds) according to the above-described winning type. In addition, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 to open and close based on a command indicating that the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is elected by the electronic lottery. Here, in the time reduction mode of 100 times, since the probability of winning the electronic lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is high, the electric tulip 49 is frequently opened.

  The main control processing unit 11 configured as described above produces the variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a at the start of the game that is performed when the first start winning opening 37a is won. In addition to being transmitted to the control processing unit 12a, when the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the first special symbol determination unit 120a is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a. ing. Similarly, the main control processing unit 11 uses the variation pattern command determined by the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b at the start of the game that is triggered by winning the second start winning opening 37b. 12a, and when the lottery by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the second special symbol determination unit 120b is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, a command related to a special symbol type and a variation pattern command transmitted from the main control processing unit 11 to the effect control processing unit 12a may be simply referred to as a game command in the following description.

  Next, the contents of this game command will be described. The game command is composed of either “No.?” Or “No.?+? Symbol”. Among game commands, “No.?” Indicates a variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a or the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b, and among the game commands, “? The command regarding the kind of special symbol which the symbol determination part 120a or the 2nd special symbol determination part 120b determined is shown.

  Variation pattern No. 1-No. 10 refers to the hit time table 134a-1 as shown in FIG. 7, the commands “No. 1” to “No. 10” are hit commands, and the fluctuation pattern No. 11-No. No. 20 refers to the loss time table 134a-2 as shown in FIG. 7, so that the commands “No. 11” to “No. 20” are loss commands.

  In addition, among the commands related to special symbol types, “Normal design” indicates winning per normal, command “Probability variation” indicates winning per probability change, and command “Small per symbol” wins per unit. The “accuracy symbol” indicates that the player has won the award.

  Therefore, if any of “No. 1” to “No. 10” is included in the game command, the game command is a win command, and if the command “? You can see whether you have won the normal hit, probability change, small hit or sudden hit. If the game command includes any of “No. 11” to “No. 20”, it is understood that the game command is a lose command.

  Next, a sub control processing unit that receives various commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 and controls various devices will be described. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like. Is a device that controls the effect display device 34, the speaker 20, and other effect devices (such as LED devices) in accordance with the processing information generated by the main control processing unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the effect control processing unit 12 a is an effect mode determining unit (effect mode determining unit) 210 for determining an effect mode, and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit (effect display control unit) 220 that controls to display on the effect display device 34, and an effect mode determination unit (effect mode determination unit) 230 that determines an effect mode are provided. An effect mode storage unit 260 in which an effect pattern (effect mode) is stored is provided. As will be described in detail later, the effect mode storage unit 260 stores a normal effect mode table 261 and a duel effect mode table 262 in accordance with the effect modes.

  The effect mode determination unit 210 determines an effect pattern to be used this time while referring to the effect tables 261 and 262 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the game command related to the game at the start of the game. Whether the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the normal effect mode table 261 or the duel effect mode table 262 depends on the determination of the effect mode determination unit 230.

  The effect mode determination unit (effect mode determination means) 230 determines which effect mode the effect mode in the current game is to be selected from the two effect modes of the normal effect mode and the duel effect mode (special effect mode). ing. The effect mode determination unit 230 includes an effect mode promotion lottery part (effect mode promotion lottery means) 231a and an effect mode fall lottery part (effect mode fall lottery means) 231b. The production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is for drawing whether or not the production mode in the current game is set to the duel production mode, and the production mode falling lottery unit 231b is normally used as the production mode in the current game. This is for drawing whether or not the production mode is set. When the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is won, the production mode determination unit 230 decides (promotes) the production mode to the duel production mode, and when the lottery by the production mode fall lottery unit 231b is won, The effect mode determination unit 230 determines (falls) the effect mode to the normal effect mode. In addition, when the effect mode determination unit 230 does not perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a or the effect mode fall lottery unit 231b, the effect mode is set to either the normal effect mode or the duel effect mode according to a predetermined rule. Determine the production mode. The details of the effect mode determination processing by the effect mode determination unit 230 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the normal performance mode table 261 includes a normal / probability variation table 261a that is commonly referred to when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is a normal winning and a probable variation, and a special symbol lottery unit. 110 when the lottery result by 110 is lost, and when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is lost and the production mode falls from the duel production mode to the normal production mode, That is, it is configured to include three tables, a normal performance mode fall time table 261c that is referred only to the game won in the lottery by the effect mode fall lottery unit 231b.

  The normal / probability variation table 261a corresponds to each of the game commands “No. 1 + normal symbol” to “No. 10 + normal symbol” and the game commands “No. 1 + probability variation” to “No. 10 + probability variation”. A production pattern is assigned to. For example, “super reach B” is associated with the game command “No. 7 + normal symbol / probability variation symbol”, and “premier reach A” is associated with the game command “No. 9 + normal symbol / probability variation symbol”. It has been.

  In the lose table 261b, production patterns are assigned so as to correspond to the game commands “No. 11” to “No. 20” on a one-to-one basis. For example, “no reach A” is associated with the game command “No. 12”, and “long reach B” is associated with the game command “No. 18”.

  In the normal effect mode fall table 261c, the effect pattern “fall effect” is associated with all the game commands “No. 11” to “No. 20”. As shown in FIG. 12B, the fall effect is a scene in which a character C1 holding a sword and a character C2 holding a sword are duel on the screen of the effect display device 34, and are displayed in the center of the screen. A message M saying “during duel” is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), the character C2 wins and the effect is such that “defeat duel mode end” is displayed in the center of the screen. is there.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the duel effect mode table 262 includes a special hitting / surprise hitting table 262a that is commonly referred to when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is a small hitting / winning hitting, and a special hitting hitting table 262a. A table 262b for losing referred to when the lottery result by the symbol lottery unit 110 is lost, and a table 262c for normal / probable variation that is commonly referred to when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is a normal hit and a probable variable. In the case where the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is lost, only the game in which the production mode is promoted from the normal production mode to the duel production mode, that is, only the game won in the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a. There are four tables of a duel effect mode promotion time table 262d referred to.

  The small hit / accuracy hit table 262a includes all of the game commands “No. 1 + small hit symbol” to “No. 10 + small hit symbol” and game commands “No. 1 + accuracy symbol” to “No. 10 + accuracy symbol”. The game pattern is associated with a production pattern “due mode entry production”. As shown in FIG. 12 (a), the duel mode entry effect is such that a character C1 with a sword and a character C2 with a sword are displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34, and the “due duel mode entry” is displayed at the center of the screen. The effect is such that the message M is displayed.

  In the lose table 262b, production patterns are assigned so as to correspond to the game commands “No. 11” to “No. 20” on a one-to-one basis. For example, “Duel scene A” is associated with the game command “No. 12”, and “Duel scene C” is associated with the game command “No. 18”. As an example of the production of the duel scene, as shown in FIG. 12B, a scene in which a character C1 with a sword and a character C2 with a sword are dueling on the screen of the production display device 34 is displayed. Then, a message M saying “being duel” is displayed in the center of the screen, and then the character C1 wins as shown in FIG. 12 (c), and “Victory !! It is an effect that is displayed.

  In the normal / probability change table 262c, for all game commands from the game command “No. 1 + normal symbol / probability variable symbol” to “No. 10 + normal symbol / probability variable symbol”, an effect pattern “complete conquest effect” is provided. It is associated. This complete conquest effect is a scene in which a character C1 with a sword and a character C2 with a sword are dueling on the screen of the effect display device 34, and a message M saying “during duel” is displayed in the center of the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 12 (e), the character C1 wins and the effect is such that “complete control” is displayed in the center of the screen.

  In the duel effect mode promotion table 262d, the effect pattern “duel mode entry effect” is associated with all the game commands “No. 11” to “No. 20”.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the special symbol display control unit 12 b includes the command related to the special symbol type determined by the special symbol determination units 120 a and 120 b of the main control processing unit 11 and the variation determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 130. Based on the pattern command, that is, the game command, the special symbol display device 17 displays the special symbol in such a manner that the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped. On the other hand, the normal symbol display control unit 12f receives the command of the lottery result relating to the normal symbol by the normal symbol lottery unit 170, displays the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 22 based on the command, and displays it in a manner of stopping. It is controlled to do. The basic symbol display control unit 12f has substantially the same basic configuration of display control, although the symbol to be displayed is different from the display control by the special symbol display control unit 12b described above. The lamp control processing unit 12c receives commands from the main control processing unit 11 and controls lighting of various lamps and electrical decorations.

  The payout control processing unit 12e receives a signal from the CR unit and controls the prize ball paying device 14 so as to lend out a game ball to the player. In addition, the payout control processing unit 12e receives a payout command from the main control processing unit 11 to receive a predetermined number of balls. The prize ball payout device 14 is controlled so as to pay out the prize ball to the player. The prize ball payout device 14 includes a sprocket (not shown) in which notches are formed for holding game balls one by one, and a motor (not shown) for rotating the sprocket. By controlling the rotation of the motor, the required number of prize balls can be paid out. Specifically, when the start winning opening detection sensors 43a and 43b, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the large winning opening detection sensor 45, etc. detect the passage of the game ball, the winning ball payout device 14 passes through the main control processing section 11. The game ball is paid out based on the received command.

  The firing control processing unit 13 is a device that controls the operation of the launching device 9 according to the rotation amount of the handle 7. More specifically, control processing is performed such as energizing the launching device 9, stopping energization, or changing the energization current. The launch control processing unit 13 is connected to the payout control processing unit 12e, and a launch stop signal is received when the CR unit is not connected.

  Next, the game processing procedure of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 13 to FIG. 17, which one of the first start winning port 37a and the second starting winning port 37b. Since the game-related processing is the same even if a game ball is won at the start winning opening, a case where a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the main control processing unit 11 determines whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the first special symbol random number acquiring unit 112a acquires the special symbol random number, and the first variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a acquires the variation pattern random number (step S2). ). When the special symbol is changing (Yes in step S3), the special symbol random number acquired in step S2 is stored in the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a, and the variation pattern random number is stored in the first variation pattern random number. It memorize | stores in the part 133a (step S4), returns to just before step S3, and waits until the game which concerns on this time winning starts.

  On the other hand, if the special symbol is not changing, that is, if the game order has come (No in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5 to perform a hit determination process. That is, the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a determines whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is a win. Next, a variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S6. In this variation pattern command determination process, based on the obtained variation pattern random number, the variation pattern No. is referred to by referring to the variation pattern command table 134a as described above. To decide. More specifically, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 refers to the hitting time table 134a-1 when it is determined to be a win at step S5, and when it is determined to be a lost at step S5 The table 134a-2 refers to the variation pattern No. (Variation pattern command) is determined.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S7, and a special symbol determination process is performed. Specifically, if it is determined that the winning is determined as a result of the hit determination process in step S5, the first special symbol determining unit 120a determines the type of the special symbol corresponding to the hit. That is, in this step S7, it is determined whether the hit in the game this time is a normal hit, a probability change, a small hit, or a surprise hit.

  Next, an effect mode determination process is performed in step S8. In this effect mode determination process, it is determined whether the current effect mode is the normal effect mode or the duel effect mode. Details of the effect mode determination process will be described later.

  Next, in step S9, an effect mode determination process is performed. Specifically, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect tables 261 and 262 to determine an effect pattern used for the current game.

  Next, in step S10, the change of the special symbol is started, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect pattern determined in step S9 on the effect display device 34.

  Next, in step S11, the variation of the special symbol is stopped, and the display of the effect pattern is stopped in synchronization therewith.

  Next, in the case of winning (Yes in Step S12), the winning game control unit 160 provides the winning game by releasing the attacker device 41 by the number of rounds corresponding to the winning type (Step S13), once. The game ends. Here, in the present embodiment, since the common effect mode is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34 for the normal hit and the probable hit, the player can determine which hit only by looking at the screen. I don't know if I won. Similarly, since a common effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 34 for the small hit and the odd hit, the player does not know which win is won. In addition, since the number of rounds per game is the same for normal hits and probable odds, and the number of rounds for hits is the same for small hits and sudden hits, the player can be Although it can be distinguished, even if it is the same and there is a ball, it is not known whether the hit is a normal hit or a probable hit. This is the same between the small hit and the sudden hit.

  In the case of No in step S1, the game is finished without being played, and in the case of No in step S12, the process of one game is finished without providing a winning game.

  Next, details of the effect mode determination process performed in step S8 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the effect mode determination process is started, the effect mode determination unit 230 first determines whether or not the game command is a winning command (step S20). If it is a win command (Yes in step S20), the process jumps to step S40 in FIG. 15, and the effect mode determination unit 230 determines whether or not the win command is per 16R (normal hit or probable hit). . If it is around 16R (Yes in step S40), it is determined whether or not the previous effect mode was the duel effect mode (step S42). If the previous effect mode is the duel effect mode (Yes in step S42), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode. On the other hand, when the last production mode is not the duel selection mode (No in step S42), the production mode determination unit 230 decides the production mode as the normal production mode (step S44). If the current hit is not about 16R (No in step S40), that is, if the win command is about 2R (small hit or sudden hit), the effect mode determination unit 230 sets the effect mode to the duel effect mode. (Step S41).

  For example, when the game command “No. 1 + small hit symbol” is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a, the effect mode determining unit 230 determines No in step S40, and duels the current effect mode in step S41. Determine the production mode. Next, the production mode determination unit 210 selects the production pattern “due-game mode entry production” with reference to the table 262a for small hits / hit hits (see step S9). Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays characters C1 and C2 and a message M of “Due Duel Mode” on the effect display device 34, as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the previous production mode is the duel production mode and, for example, a game command “No. 3 + probability pattern” is transmitted to the production control processing unit 12a in the current game, the production mode determination unit 230 It is determined Yes in step S40, Yes is determined in step S42, and the effect mode is determined to be the duel effect mode. Next, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the normal / probability hitting table 262c and selects the effect pattern “complete conquest effect”. Then, the effect display control unit 220 causes the effect display device 34 to display a scene where the character C1 holding the sword and the character C2 holding the sword are duel, and then, as shown in FIG. , The character C1 and the message M of “complete conquest” are displayed.

  On the other hand, when the previous production mode is the normal production mode and, for example, the game command “No. 3 + probability symbol” is transmitted to the production control processing unit 12a in the current game, the production mode determination unit 230 It is determined Yes in step S40, No is determined in step S42, and the effect mode is determined to be the normal effect mode. Next, the production mode determination unit 210 selects the production pattern “long reach A” with reference to the normal / probability variation table 261a stored in the normal production mode table 261. Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays an effect corresponding to “long reach A” on the effect display device 34.

  Returning to FIG. 14, when it is determined in step S20 that the command is not a hit command (No in step S20), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines whether or not the current gaming state is a 2R probability change latency, that is, It is determined whether or not the state is a high probability variation state after hitting a hit (step S21). If it is determined that the 2R probability variation is in progress (Yes in step S21), the process jumps to step S50 in FIG. 16 to determine whether the previous game was in the duel effect mode. When the previous game is the duel effect mode (Yes in step S50), the effect mode determination unit 230 counts from the next game where the current game number is based on the winning hit and the next game ends. It is determined whether or not it is within the number of times (second game number) (step S51). When the number of games is within 15 (Yes in Step S51), the production mode determination unit 230 decides the production mode as the duel production mode (Step S60).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step S51, a fall lottery is performed by the effect mode fall lottery unit 231b (step S52). When the falling lottery is won (Yes in S53), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (Step S54). That is, while the production mode is the duel production mode in the previous game, the production mode falls from the duel production mode to the normal production mode in this game. On the other hand, when the falling lottery is not won (No in step S53), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (step S55). That is, the current production mode is maintained in the same duel production mode as the previous production mode. The probability of winning the falling lottery is set to 25%.

  In step S50, if the effect mode in the previous game is not the duel effect mode (No in step S50), promotion lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is always performed in step S56 regardless of the number of games. . If the promotion lottery is won (Yes in Step S57), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (Step S58). That is, while the production mode is the normal production mode in the previous game, the production mode is promoted from the normal mode to the duel production mode in this game. On the other hand, when the promotion lottery is not won (No in step S57), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (step S59). That is, the same production mode as the previous production mode is maintained. The probability of winning the promotion lottery is set to 75%.

  For example, when the previous game is the duel effect mode (Yes in Step S50), the game command “No. 13” is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a, and the effect mode is changed to the duel effect mode in Steps S55 and S60. When determined, the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the lose table 262b stored in the duel effect mode table 262, selects "duel scene A", and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect. On the device 34, an effect corresponding to “due due scene A” is displayed, and at the end of the duel, a message “Victory (remaining enemy?)” Shown in FIG. 12C is displayed.

  In addition, when the game command “No. 13” is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a and the effect mode is determined to be the normal effect mode in step S54, the effect mode has fallen from the duel effect mode to the normal effect mode. The effect mode determination unit 210 selects the effect pattern “falling effect” with reference to the normal effect mode falling time table 261c stored in the normal effect mode table 261. Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays a duel scene between the character C1 and the character C2 on the effect display device 34, and then the character C2 wins as shown in FIG. The message M “Defeat duel mode end” is displayed.

  Also, the previous effect mode is the normal effect mode, and the game command “No. 13” is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a in this game, and the effect mode promotion lottery is won in step S56, and step S58. When the production mode is determined to be the duel production mode, the production mode is promoted from the normal production mode to the duel production mode, so the production mode determination unit 210 has the duel production stored in the duel production mode table 262. With reference to the mode promotion time table 262d, the effect pattern “due duel mode entry effect” is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, the effect display control unit 220 displays characters C <b> 1 and C <b> 2 and a message M of “duration mode entry” on the effect display device 34.

  On the other hand, when the normal effect mode is determined in step S59, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the lose table 261b stored in the normal effect mode table 261 and determines the game command “No. 13”. Select the corresponding “no reach B”. Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays an effect corresponding to “no reach B” on the effect display device 34.

  Here, since the case where it comes to step S50 is a case where it wins a winning hit, the player is in a state where a prize ball has not been acquired even if the winning game based on the winning hit is performed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the last production mode is not the duel production mode (No in step S50), the promotion lottery is always performed by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a. That is, the probability that the promotion lottery is performed is 100%. The probability of winning the promotion lottery is set to 75%. Therefore, after hitting the game, the player receives an effect pattern that is promoted to the duel effect mode again, that is, the message M of “Due Duel Mode” shown in FIG. Can be seen. As a result, since the player is frequently performed in the duel effect mode, the player can be convinced that the current game state is in a high probability variation state.

  Returning to FIG. 14, if it is determined in step 21 that the 2R probability variation latent is not in progress (No in step S21), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines that the current gaming state is based on the jackpot and the normal after the game is over It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step S22). If it is determined that it is a small hit (Yes in step S22), the process jumps to step S70 in FIG. 17 to determine whether the previous game was a duel effect mode. In the case where the previous game was the duel effect mode (Yes in step S70), the effect mode determination unit 230 was previously displayed in the effect pattern for the duel effect mode displayed on the effect display device 34. It is determined whether or not the remaining number of enemy characters, that is, the number of remaining “enemy characters?” Displayed in the center of the effect display device 34 is 10 or less (step S71).

  If the remaining number of enemy characters is not less than 10 (No in step S71), the process proceeds to step S72, where the current game count is based on the small hit and the game is counted 15 times (the second game). It is determined whether or not the number of games is within a certain number (step S72). When the number of games is within 15 (Yes in Step S72), the production mode determination unit 230 decides the production mode as the duel production mode (Step S82). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step S71 and in the case of No in step S72, a fall lottery is performed by the effect mode fall lottery unit 231b (step S73). The probability of winning the falling lottery is set to 35%. In addition, the probability (35%) of winning in the falling lottery after small hitting is higher than the probability (25%) of winning in the falling lottery after hitting as described above.

  When the falling lottery is won (Yes in step S74), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (step S75). That is, while the production mode is the duel production mode in the previous game, the production mode falls from the duel production mode to the normal production mode in this game. On the other hand, when the falling lottery is not won (No in step S74), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (step S76). That is, the current production mode is maintained in the same duel production mode as the previous production mode.

  In step S75, the effect mode determination unit 230 determines by lottery whether or not to grant the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a in the next game. If the right to perform the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted (when the second lottery condition is not satisfied), it is determined Yes when the process proceeds to step S77 in the next game, and the production mode is performed in step S78. A lottery is performed by the promotion lottery unit 231a. On the other hand, when the right is not granted, that is, when the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is stopped (when the second lottery condition is satisfied), the process proceeds to step S77 in the next game. No is determined, and the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not performed.

  Also, once the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is to be stopped (when the second lottery condition is satisfied), the next win (normal win, probability change, small hit, sudden hit) Until winning, the decision to cancel the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not cleared. That is, if the second lottery condition is once established after the small hit, the promotion lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not performed during the game after the small hit. In the lottery of the effect mode determination unit 230 performed in step S75, the probability that the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is set to 85%.

  In step S70, if the effect mode in the previous game is not the duel effect mode (No in step S70), it is determined in step S77 whether or not the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted. If the right to perform the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted (Yes in Step S77), the promotion lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is performed (Step S78). The probability of winning this promotion lottery is set to 50%. In addition, the probability (50%) of winning in the promotion lottery after small hitting is lower than the probability (75%) of winning in the promotion lottery after winning hit.

  If the promotion lottery is won (Yes in Step S79), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (Step S80). That is, while the production mode is the normal production mode in the previous game, the production mode is promoted from the normal mode to the duel production mode in this game. On the other hand, when the promotion lottery is not won (No in step S79), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (step S81). That is, the same production mode as the previous production mode is maintained. If No in step S77, the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (step S81).

  Here, since the case where it comes to step S70 is a case where a win is won, the player is in a state where he has not won a prize ball even if he plays a win game based on the small hit. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the previous production mode is not the duel production mode (No in step S70), there is a right to promote the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a (the second lottery condition is not satisfied). In the case of), the promotion lottery is performed. With this control, after a small hit, when the player falls from the duel effect mode to the normal effect mode, the player can only see the effect pattern corresponding to the normal effect mode even if the game is played for a while. There is. As a result, the player can be sure that the previous hit was a small hit. The player who is convinced of the small hit can appropriately determine whether or not to continue the game, considering that the current gaming state is the normal state. Therefore, the player is not burdened with excessive economic burden.

  After the effect mode is determined, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect tables 261 and 262 to determine an effect pattern corresponding to the game command, and the effect display control unit 220 determines the effect display device according to the determination. Since the point where the effect is displayed in 34 is as described above, the description of the specific example here is omitted.

  Returning to FIG. 14, when it is determined in step 21 that the gaming state is not after the small hit (No in step S <b> 22), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines whether or not the current gaming state is in the short-time mode. Is determined (step S22). When it is in the time reduction mode (Yes in Step S23), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (Step S30). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not in the time-saving mode (No in step S23), the process proceeds to step S24, and the current number of games is counted 10 times (first game) from the next game in which the time-saving mode ends. It is determined whether or not it is within (the number of times) (step S24). When the number of games since the end of the time-saving mode has exceeded 10 (No in Step S24), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (Step S31).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S24 that the number of games is within 10 (Yes in step S24), it is determined whether or not the previous effect mode was the duel effect mode (step S25). . If the previous effect mode is the duel effect mode (Yes in step S25), a fall lottery is performed by the effect mode fall lottery unit 231b (step S26). The probability of winning the falling lottery is set to 35%. When the falling lottery is won (Yes in Step S27), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (Step S28). That is, while the production mode is the duel production mode in the previous game, the production mode falls from the duel production mode to the normal production mode in this game.

  On the other hand, when the falling lottery is not won (No in step S27), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (step S29). That is, the current production mode is maintained in the same duel production mode as the previous production mode.

  In addition, in this step S28, the effect mode determination part 230 determines whether the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery part 231a is given by lottery in the next game. If the drawing mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted the right to perform lottery (if the first lottery condition is not satisfied), the process proceeds to step S32, where it is determined Yes, and thus the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a A lottery will be held. On the other hand, when the right is not granted, that is, when the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is stopped (when the first lottery condition is satisfied), it is determined No in step S32. Therefore, the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not performed.

  In addition, once the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is to be stopped (when the first lottery condition is satisfied), the next win (normal win, probability change, small hit, sudden hit) Until winning, the decision to cancel the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not cleared. In other words, if the first lottery condition is satisfied once in 10 games after the completion of the time-saving mode, the promotion lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is performed during the 10 games after the completion of the time-saving mode. It will not be broken. In the lottery of the effect mode determination unit 230 performed in step S28, the probability that the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is given is set to 80%.

  If the effect mode in the previous game is not the duel effect mode in step S25 (No in step S25), it is determined in step S32 whether or not the right to perform the lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted. When the right to perform the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is granted (Yes in Step S32), the promotion lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is performed (Step S33). The probability of winning this promotion lottery is set to 50%. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S32, the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode.

  When the promotion lottery is won (Yes in step S34), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the duel effect mode (step S35). That is, while the production mode is the normal production mode in the previous game, the production mode is promoted from the normal mode to the duel production mode in this game. On the other hand, when the promotion lottery is not won (No in step S34), the effect mode determination unit 230 determines the effect mode as the normal effect mode (step S36). That is, the same production mode as the previous production mode is maintained. Then, the effect mode determination process ends.

  Here, since the case where the player comes to step S25 is a normal hit or a probable hit and the game in the short-time mode is ended, the player can open the 16 rounds of the attacker device 41 and acquire many prize balls. It is in the state. Here, in the conventional case, when the time reduction mode is ended, an effect is made to notify whether it was a normal hit or a probable hit, but in this embodiment, when the effect mode falls to the normal effect mode, The promotion lottery by the effect mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not necessarily performed. That is, once the right to perform the lottery by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a is not granted in step S28, the production mode is not promoted from the normal production mode to the duel production mode. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to predict whether the current gaming state is the normal gaming state or the high probability variation state only by looking at the effect. However, since the player has just won a lot of prize balls, the operation of the pachinko machine will be improved in order to have the feeling of trying to continue playing a little more.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, in the case of a sudden hit without a ball, even if the player falls into the normal performance mode, the performance is frequently promoted to the duel performance mode. Thus, the player can recognize that he / she has won the game, so that the player can appropriately determine whether or not the future game should be performed. Therefore, the player can continue the game until it wins the next winning because it is a probable hit. On the other hand, in the case of small hits, if the normal production mode continues for a while after falling from the duel production mode to the normal production mode, it can be determined that there is a high possibility of a small hit, so the player should stop the game. I can think of. Therefore, the player does not have to pay extra financial burden, and the dissatisfaction with the game is resolved. In addition, in the case of hitting with a ball, by making the winning result ambiguous, the player continues the game while using the obtained winning ball, so that the operation of the pachinko machine is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, two modes of the normal effect mode and the duel effect mode are used as the effect mode. For example, a plurality of normal effect modes and a plurality of duel effect modes are provided. A setting difference may be provided in the effect mode selected according to the method. Moreover, you may make it change the winning probability of the production mode promotion lottery part 231a and the production mode fall lottery part 231b according to the hit type. In addition, when the normal performance mode is determined, a lottery is performed by the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a in the lottery for determining whether the production mode promotion lottery unit 231a performs or stops after the next game. The probability of winning the decision to be canceled may be set differently depending on the type of winning. In any of these modifications, the game preference is further enhanced.
