FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of random numbers from which various random numbers are acquired in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, (a) is a jackpot random number, (b) is a jackpot symbol random number, (c) is a reach random number, (d) FIG. 4 is a diagram showing examples of winning random numbers.
In the present embodiment, a special symbol is configured by the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 3A and the jackpot random number shown in FIG. A normal symbol is constituted by the hit random numbers shown in FIG.
As the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 3A, one random number value is acquired from among 300 random numbers from “0” to “299”, for example, at the start opening prize.
In the case of the jackpot random number shown in FIG. 3A, in the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state), the jackpot ratio is set to 1/300, for example, and when the acquired jackpot random number value is “3”, Determined.
On the other hand, in the high-probability gaming state, the jackpot ratio is set to 10/300, ten times that of the low-probability gaming state, and the acquired jackpot random number values are “3”, “7”, “37”, “67”, “ It is determined that the jackpot is at "97", "127", "157", "187", "217", "247".
Furthermore, with the big hit random numbers, a lottery lottery, which is a type of loss, is also performed. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the ratio of the small hits is set to 3/300, and it is determined that the small hits are obtained when the acquired big hit random numbers are “150”, “200”, and “250”.

Next, in the jackpot symbol random number shown in FIG. 3B, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249”. And based on the acquired jackpot symbol random number, any one jackpot is determined from a plurality of types of jackpots.
In this embodiment, five jackpots are prepared as a plurality of types of jackpots: per length with normal time, short per hour with normal time, per length with high probability time, short per length with high probability, and short per hour without high probability. ing.
The long win with normal time is a long opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game, it can be expected to pay out a large number of balls, and after the jackpot game ends, the special symbol will change for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) It is a jackpot that grants a short-term game for a period, and corresponds to the conventional “normal jackpot”.
The short win with a normal time is a period until the special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game ends, although the opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the big hit game is short and the payout of the outgoing ball can not be expected. This is a jackpot that grants a short-time game, and corresponds to the conventional “sudden jackpot”.

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

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, some types of game balls are entered when a game ball enters the first start port 13 and when a game ball enters the electric Chu 14 that is the second start port. The jackpot is configured so that the selected ratio is different.
For example, the ratio of the per unit with the normal time and the short unit with the normal time is the same when the game ball is won at the first start port 13 and when it is won at the electric chew 14, The selected ratio is 35/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric Chu 14. Similarly, the ratio at which the short win with the normal time is selected is 15/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), if the jackpot symbol random number acquired at the time of winning the first start opening or the electric chew is “0” to “34”, the normal per short length is selected. , “35” to “49”, the short hit with the normal time is selected.

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

Comparing the types of jackpots selected at the time of winning the first start opening and at the time of winning the electric chew, the ratio per long length with high probability is 25/250 when winning the first starting opening, At the time of winning a prize, the ratio per length with a high probability of shortening is 175/250, and at the time of winning an electric-chu prize, the ratio of selecting per length with a high probability of shortening is higher.
With this configuration, when transitioning to a gaming state in which the winning rate of game balls to electric Chu is high, there is a high probability of winning consecutively per length with a high probability of shortening the time, so a large number of balls will be acquired Can be expected and can achieve a sharp game.
In addition, at the time of winning the first start opening, the ratio of high probability short / short short is 100/250, while at high power winning, the high probability short / short short hit is not selected. This is because the game ball wins the electric Chu mainly when the gaming state is advantageous when the player is in the short-time gaming state. In such a case, the short-time game ends and the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous game for the player. In other words, despite having won the jackpot, the gaming state with a short time shifts to a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player, that is, a gaming state without a short time. For this reason, at the time of winning an electric chew, it is possible to prevent the player from shifting to a gaming state that is unfavorable to the player by not selecting short wins with high probability.

Further, the reach random number shown in FIG. 3C acquires one random number value from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249” at the time of starting winning, and the acquired reach random number value is “0”. It is determined that there is a reach when “21”, and no reach when the acquired reach random number value is “22” to “249”.
In addition, as the random number for the normal symbol shown in FIG. 3D, one random number value is acquired from the ten random numbers “0” to “9” when the game ball passes through the gate.
And in the low-probability gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are OFF, or in the high-probability short-timeless gaming state in which the short-time flag is OFF and the high-accuracy flag is ON, only when the acquired winning random number is “7” Judgment is successful.
On the other hand, in the low probability short-time gaming state in which the short-time flag is ON and the high-accuracy flag is OFF, or in the high-probability short-time gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are ON, the acquired hit random numbers are “0” to When it is “9”, it is determined to be a hit.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, a big hit random number, a big hit symbol random number, a reach random number, etc. on the game control board 111 when the game ball to the upper start port 13 or the electric chew 14 wins a prize. The lottery is performed. And when it is determined that the big win or the small win has been won, the special symbols on the first or second special symbol indicators 21 and 22 are stopped and displayed at a specific winning symbol, so that the above long hit, short hit, Alternatively, any hit game of small hits is executed.
Furthermore, the game control board 111 performs lottery of a variation pattern random number for determining the variation time of the special symbol simultaneously with the lottery of the jackpot random number, the jackpot symbol random number, and the reach random number. Then, based on the variation pattern random number acquired by lottery, the variation time of the special symbol to be variably displayed on the first or second special symbol indicators 21 and 22 is set.
Furthermore, the game control board 111 transmits a variation start command including jackpot information, jackpot symbol information, reach information, variation pattern information and the like to the effect control board 121 at a predetermined timing.

On the other hand, when the effect control board 121 receives the change start command from the game control board 111, the effect control board 121 analyzes the received change start command. And based on the analysis result, in order to select the variation production pattern for setting the production time of the game production, to determine the game production corresponding to the fluctuation production pattern by lottery, and to execute the decided game production Set the change production start command.
Thereby, the image control board 131 executes display control for displaying the effect image and the design image corresponding to the change effect start command on the image display device 11, and the lamp control board 141 performs the frame lamp 145 corresponding to the change effect start command. Then, control of the panel lamp 146, the production actor 147, etc. is executed.
Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the effect control board 121 can execute a full-rotation reach effect that changes all the symbol images displayed on the image display device 11 as one of the reach effects. Is done.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display mode of the full rotation reach effect displayed on the image display device in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, a case where there are three symbol images will be described as an example.
First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the display screen 11a of the image display device 11 displays three symbol images, a left symbol image 31a, a middle symbol image 31b, and a right symbol image 31c. Assume that the symbol image is in a state of being stopped at the numerical symbols “1”, “3”, and “5”.
Here, when receiving the variation start command from the game control substrate 111, the effect control board 121 analyzes the received change start command and effects lottery. When the full rotation reach effect is selected as a result of the analysis of the change start command and the effect lottery, the effect control board 121 transmits a change effect start command corresponding to the full rotation reach effect to the image control board 131. The image control board 131 which received this starts display control which fluctuates (accelerates) each symbol image 31a-31c stopped and displayed on the display screen 11a, as shown in FIG.4 (b). In this case, each of the symbol images 31a to 31c shifts to a high-speed fluctuation state in which the player cannot be identified as shown in FIG.

Then, the image control board 131 decelerates fluctuations of the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c, for example, as shown in FIG. 4D among the symbol images 31a to 31c in the high-speed fluctuation state after a predetermined time has elapsed. Thus, the display state is controlled so that the player can identify the symbol. At this time, the image control board 131 controls the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c to stop at the same symbol (for example, “2”) and reach a reach state.
After that, as shown in FIG. 4 (e), the control is performed so that the fluctuation of the middle symbol image 31b is decelerated so that the player can identify the middle symbol image 31b. Then, the symbols of the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c are changed again at the timing when the numeral symbol of the middle symbol image 31b becomes the same as the numeral symbol of the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 4 (f) and 4 (g), the all-rotation symbol image 31 that fluctuates in a state in which the symbols of the three symbol images 31 a to 31 c are aligned becomes a downward direction on the display screen 11 a. Transition to full rotation reach production that scrolls toward.
Further, in the full rotation reach effect of the present embodiment, a movie image 32 having added value for the player is displayed on the rear surface of the full rotation symbol image 31 in the scroll state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the visibility of the movie image 32 displayed on the rear surface of the full rotation symbol image 31 is hindered by the full rotation symbol image 31 in the full rotation reach effect as described above. In order to prevent this, when the all-rotation symbol image 31 is in the scroll state, the all-rotation symbol image 31 is composed of a transmission image and displayed.
Note that the transparent image is an image having transparency that allows the player to visually recognize the image displayed on the rear surface (behind) without any discomfort.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the all-rotation symbol image 31 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 4 (h), the all-rotation symbol image 31 is changed from a transparent image to a non-transparent image with high player visibility. The display screen 11a is displayed on the display screen 11a, for example, on the lower right side of the display screen 11a by a small screen. The display position for the small screen display may be an arbitrary position as long as it does not hinder the viewing of the movie image 32. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the movie image 32 displayed together with the full rotation symbol image 31 from being impaired by the full rotation symbol image 31 displayed during the full rotation reach effect.

In the present embodiment, when the variation of the all-rotation symbol image 31 is stopped, all symbols constituting the symbol image, for example, if the symbol image is a numeric symbol “0” to “9”, “0”. After displaying the all-rotation symbol image 31 in which the numbers “˜9” are arranged at least once, the symbol image is stopped and displayed in any symbol. If comprised in this way, since the player can visually recognize all the symbols which may stop before the all rotation symbol image 31 stops, it can raise a jackpot expectation | correspondence so much.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the symbols of the three symbol images 31a to 31c are in an asynchronous state, that is, the symbols are fluctuating in an irregular state, the symbols of the plurality of symbol images 31a to 31c are transmitted with low visibility. By displaying the image, for example, even when the movie image 32 is displayed on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11 from the stage before the transition to the all-rotation symbol image 31, the visibility of the movie image 32 is determined by the symbol images 31a to 31c. It can be prevented from being damaged.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4D, among the symbols of the three symbol images 31a to 31c, the symbols of the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c are aligned and reach a state. At this time, since the left symbol image 31a and the right symbol image 31c are displayed as non-transparent images with high visibility, the player can be surely grasped that they are reachable.

If it is determined that the special symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 of the second starting port SW14a to be preferentially digested is greater than “1” (S313). If it is determined that there are more than “1”, “1” is subtracted from the reserved number U2 (S314).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S313 that the reserved number U2 is not ≧ 1, that is, if the reserved number U2 is “0”, then whether or not the reserved number U1 of the first start port SW13a is larger than “1”. Is determined (S315), and if it is determined that the reserved number U1 is larger than "1", the reserved number U1 is subtracted from "1" (S316).

Next, the CPU 112 turns off if the customer waiting flag is ON (S317), and then executes a jackpot determination process described later (S318). After the big hit determination process is executed, a later-described variation pattern selection process is executed (S319). After execution of the variation pattern selection process, the variation of the corresponding first special symbol display 21 or second special symbol display 22 is started and a variation start command is set (S320, S321).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed the predetermined variation time (S322). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The fluctuation of the special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is stopped and a predetermined special symbol is displayed (S323). Thereafter, a change stop command is set (S324), a stop process (S325) described later is executed, and the special symbol process is ended.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is “0” (S353). If the remaining game count J is “0”, the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times in the short-time game. Since this means that it has been performed (for example, 100 times), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S354). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S355.

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

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

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a customer waiting setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S371). If it is determined that the waiting flag is ON, the customer waiting setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S371 that the waiting flag is not ON, a customer waiting command is set and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S372, S373), and the customer waiting setting process is terminated.

[Normal pattern processing]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of normal symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S381). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, the normal symbol process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S381 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S382). Here, when it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the gate passing number G of the gate SW 15a is larger than “1” (S383), and the gate passing number G is larger than “1”. 1 subtracts “1” from the number of times of gate passage (S384), and if it is determined that the number of times of gate passage G is not greater than “1”, that is, “0”, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, the CPU 112 determines a normal random number per symbol (S385), and sets a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 23 and a variation time (S386, S387).
Here, for example, it is conceivable that the variation time is set to 4.0 seconds if the hour / hour flag is OFF, and 1.5 seconds if the hour / hour flag is ON.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed (S389). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, the CPU 112 stops the variation (S390), If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is a winning symbol (S391). If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S392), and the normal symbol processing is terminated. If the stop symbol is not a winning symbol in step S391, the normal symbol processing is terminated without turning on the auxiliary game flag.
If it is determined in step S382 that the normal symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S389, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation time has passed a predetermined variation time.

[Large winning prize processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the big prize opening process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (S411). If it is determined that the jackpot game flag is ON, the CPU 112 determines whether or not it is opening (S412). If it is determined that the jackpot opening is in progress, it is then determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S413). If it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, “0” is set to the value of the number of rounds R, and the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S414).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of setting the number of rounds / actuation pattern. When the jackpot is a long hit, the number of rounds (R number) is 15R, the action pattern in 1R is 29.5 seconds open × Set once. If the big hit is a short hit, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R, the operation pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 seconds open × 15 times. As in the case of winning, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 1R, and the operation pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 seconds open × 15 times.
Next, the CPU 112 sets “0” to the number counter C indicating the number of winnings per round to the big winning opening 16 and adds “1” to the value of the number of rounds R (S415, S416). Thereafter, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is started. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the closed state to the open state (S417).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has passed the predetermined operating time (S418), and if it is determined that the operating time has not passed the predetermined time, It is determined whether or not the value of the counter C has reached the specified number (S419).
Here, when it is determined that the value of the number counter C is the specified number C, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is ended. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the open state to the closed state (S420).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the number counter C has not reached the specified number, the big prize opening process is terminated.
In step S418, if the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has exceeded the predetermined operating time, the process of step S419 is skipped, and the number of the special winning opening 16 is checked without checking the number of the number counter C. The operation is terminated (S420).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot round number is the maximum round number R. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit round is the final round (S421).
Here, when it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, ending is started and an ending command is set (S422, S423).
Next, the CPU 112 sets the value of the number of rounds R to “0” (S424). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the ending time has passed (S425). If it is determined that the ending time has passed, a game state setting process described later is executed (S426), and the jackpot flag is turned OFF ( S427), the big prize opening process is terminated.

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

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of a game state setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 first determines whether or not it is a small hit (S431), and if it is determined that it is a small hit, the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S431 that it is not a small hit, it is next determined whether or not it is a normal hit (per length with a low probability short time or short per short with a low probability time) (S432). If it is determined that there is a time-shortage flag, the time-shortage flag is set to ON and the remaining game count J of the time-shortage game is set to, for example, “100” (S433, S434), and the game state setting process is terminated.
If it is determined in step S432 that the game is not a normal game, it is a big game that gives a high-probability game. Therefore, the high-accuracy flag is turned ON and, for example, "10000" is set in the remaining game count X of the high-accuracy game. (S435, S436).
Next, it is determined whether or not the hit is with a short time (S437). If it is determined that the win is with a short time, the time flag is set to ON and the remaining game count J of the short time game is set to, for example, “ 10000 ”is set (S438, S439), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S437 that the time-shortening is not reached, the time-shortening flag is turned OFF, the remaining game count J of the time-shortening game is reset (S440, S441), and the game state setting process is terminated.

[Den Chu processing]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of electric chew processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S511).

Here, if the electric chew 14 is not in operation, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set according to the gaming state (S513), and the operation of the electric chew 14 is started (S514).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 14 has passed a predetermined operation time (S515). If it is determined that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has elapsed, an auxiliary game flag is set. It is turned off (S516), and the electric Chu process is terminated.
Here, the operating time of the electric Chu 14 to be set is set to, for example, 0.15 second release × 1 when the hourly flag is OFF, and 1.80 second release × 3 when the hourly flag is ON. It is possible. If it is determined in step S512 that the electric chew 14 is operating, the process proceeds to step S515. If it is determined in step S511 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S515 that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has not elapsed, the electric chew process is terminated.
