In the following description, the upper symbol row 81, the middle symbol row 82, and the lower symbol row 83 are designated in order from the upper side, and the right effective stop positions S1 and S4 in order from the right effective stop position in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83. , S7, middle effective stop positions S2, S5, S8, and left effective stop positions S3, S6, S9.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 are linearly combined one by one and fixedly stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 as a result of the symbol variation effect. Five effective lines L1 to L5 for deriving the symbol combination of the decoration to be displayed are set (see FIG. 9). In the following description, an upper and lower linear effective line that combines the right effective stop positions S1, S4, and S7 of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 is referred to as a right effective line L1, and the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 A vertical effective line combining the middle effective stop positions S2, S5, S8 is referred to as a middle effective line L2, and a vertical straight line combining the left effective stop positions S3, S6, S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The effective line may be referred to as the left effective line L3. Further, the first inclined effective line is defined as a left-sloped linear effective line obtained by combining the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81, the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82, and the left effective stop position S9 of the lower symbol row 81. L2 is designated as the left effective stop position S3 in the upper symbol row 81, the middle effective stop position S5 in the middle symbol row 82, and the right effective stop position S7 in the lower symbol row 81. It may be referred to as a tilt effective line L5. Here, the display area of each of the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 is configured with a display capable of displaying a decorative drawing in a larger display mode as compared with the special figure indicators 50A, 50B. Thus, the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol display device 17.

  On the symbol display device 17, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner so as to move along a predetermined variation direction with the start of the symbol variation effect, and the symbol sequences 81, 82, 83 vary in a predetermined stop order. The displayed decoration is stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9. Here, in the embodiment, based on the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the right to the left in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83, depending on the production contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17, etc. In each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83, the decorative drawing is configured to move in the opposite direction from left to right. In the following description, the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the right to the left in each of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 is referred to as forward variation, and the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the left to the right is reversed. May also be referred to. Further, in the embodiment, at the start of the design variation effect, the decorative symbols start to vary in the order of the upper symbol row 81, the middle symbol row 82, and the lower symbol row 83, and the upper symbol row 81, the lower symbol row 83, and the middle symbol row Based on the variation timing of the decorative figures that are stopped and displayed in the order of 82, the variation timings of the decorative drawings in the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 are appropriately determined according to the effect contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17. It is configured to be changed.

  Further, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol variation effect ends, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83, and the symbol columns 81, 82 are displayed. , 83 are displayed in a fixed stop display so that one symbol variation effect is completed. In other words, the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display and second special diagram variation display) is from the start of change to the final stop of decorations (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one start hold information. Is executed once. The “variable display” is a state in which the decorations displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 are changed in a predetermined arrangement order (described later) in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83. And, “decision stop” of the decorative drawing means that the decorative drawing has a predetermined special figure fluctuation interval time (variable within 1000 ms (millisecond or less in the embodiment) at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. )) Continuously stopped and displayed. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the decorative drawing means that the decorative drawing displayed so as to remain at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 does not stop for the special figure changing interval time continuously. State. That is, the temporary stop of the decorative drawing includes a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a fluctuation state at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 and a state in which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special drawing change interval time. .

  Here, in the first special symbol display 50A and the symbol display device 17, the first special symbol variation display and the symbol variation effect relating to the first special symbol variation display are started, and the special diagram 1 and the decoration diagram are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. Similarly, in the second special figure display 50B and the symbol display device 17, the second special figure fluctuation display and the symbol fluctuation effect relating to the second special figure fluctuation display are started, and the special figure 2 and the decorative drawing are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. In the special figure display devices 50A and 50B, the special figure fluctuation display is not performed at the same time. When one of the special figure display devices 50A and 50B is performing the special figure fluctuation display, the main control RAM 60c is used. The corresponding first or second special figure start hold information is stored on hold.

  Here, the decorative display variably displayed in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 of the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment includes a plurality of effective symbols capable of forming an effective symbol combination as a hit display or a reach display, and a hit display. A symbol array that defines the order of decorative drawings that are variably displayed for each of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 is set (see FIG. 10). ). Specifically, a symbol array in which the effective symbols and the blank symbols are alternately arranged is determined for each of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83, and the symbol columns 81, 82 are arranged in the order determined in the symbol array. An effective symbol and a blank symbol are displayed at 83 effective stop positions S1 to S9. Hereinafter, there is a case where a decorative drawing is distinguished as an effective symbol or a blank symbol as necessary.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the symbol array for the upper symbol row 81 has nine numbers (“1” to “9”) as the effective symbols and nine blank symbols alternately arranged. At the same time, the decorative drawings are set to appear in descending order (ie, “9” to “1”) at the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81 in accordance with the symbol variation (forward variation). In addition, after the decoration figure “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81, the decoration figure “9” is repeatedly displayed at the right effective stop position S1 across the blank pattern. It is like that. In addition, the symbol arrangement for the lower symbol row 83 includes nine numbers (“1” to “9”) as effective symbols and nine blank symbols alternately arranged, and symbol variation (forward variation). ), The decorative drawings are set to appear in the ascending order (ie, “1” to “9”) at the right effective stop position S7 of the lower symbol row 83. In addition, after the decoration drawing “9” is displayed at the right effective stop position S7 of the lower symbol row 83, it is repeated that the decoration drawing “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S7 across the blank design. It is like that. Thus, the symbol arrangement for the upper and lower symbol rows 81 and 83 is composed of 18 decorative drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the symbol arrangement for the middle symbol row 82 includes 10 numbers (“1” to “9” and the second “4”) as the effective symbols and 10 blank symbols. In addition to being alternately arranged, a decorative drawing appears in ascending order (that is, “1” to “9”) at the right effective stop position S4 of the lower symbol row 83 in accordance with symbol variation (forward variation), and “9”. Is set so that the second “4” appears across the blank symbol. In addition, after the second “4” decoration is displayed at the right effective stop position S4 of the middle symbol row 82, the decoration “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S4 across the blank pattern. To repeat. That is, the symbol array for the middle symbol row 82 is composed of 20 decorative drawings. Thus, the symbol arrangement for the middle symbol row 82 of the embodiment is set so that one more effective symbol is configured than the symbol arrangement for the upper and lower symbol rows 81 and 83, and the same effective symbol ( In the embodiment, it is set to include two “4”).

  That is, in the state where the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83, the display mode of the decorative drawing in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 is as two effective symbols. Either a display mode in which three decorations composed of numbers and one blank symbol are stopped and displayed at a time, or a display mode in which three decorations composed of one effective symbol and two blank symbols are stopped and displayed at a time (See FIG. 11). Here, the decorations that are stopped and displayed at once in the effective stop positions S1 to S3 of the upper symbol row 81, the effective stop positions S4 to S6 of the middle symbol row 82 and the effective stop positions S7 to S9 of the lower symbol row 83 Is set in advance as a symbol stop pattern (see FIGS. 11A to 11C), and by determining the symbol stop pattern for each symbol row 81, 82, 83, all effective stop positions are set. The decoration figure stopped and displayed in S1 to S9 is determined.

  Further, in the following description, the decorations (including the effective symbols and the blank symbols) displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 are the symbol arrays of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The variation mode of moving N pieces (N: natural number) in the variation direction according to the above is expressed as “decorative drawing moves N frames”. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the middle symbol row 82 is moved so as to move two frames when the state in which the decorative drawing “2” is displayed at the middle effective stop position S5 in the middle symbol row 82 is used as a reference. Is changed to a state in which “3” is displayed in the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82, and if it is changed to move seven frames, “5” is set to the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82. A blank symbol between “6” is displayed.

  The decorations displayed in each of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83 are not limited to this, and the player distinguishes and identifies each decoration, such as an arbitrary number, character, or pattern. It is a form to obtain. In addition, the effective symbol of the decoration diagram is a first identification symbol that allows the player to definitely recognize that a probable change state (described later) is given after the big hit game when the winning combination is stopped and displayed. (Specific symbol) and the second identification symbol (normal symbol) that can be recognized indeterminately that there is a possibility that a probable change state may be given after the big hit game when it is stopped and displayed by a combination of hit indication It is classified. In addition, the probability change state which can be provided after the end of the big hit game in the embodiment will be described in detail later. Here, as the first identification symbol, even if it is set appropriately from the basic ornament (effective symbol), it shall be a special ornament that is determined other than the basic ornament (effective symbol). You can also. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “2”, “4”, “6”, “ An example in which the even symbol of “8” is the second identification symbol will be described.

  Then, the effective symbols of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 (effective lines L1 to L5) of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 in the symbol display device 17 are hit. In the case of a symbol combination, it is possible to grasp that a winning game is given. Here, in the embodiment, as a winning symbol combination, a symbol combination in which the same effective symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 on any of the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83. (For example, “222”, “777”, etc., but “indicated in the order of“ upper symbol row 81, middle symbol row 82, lower symbol row 83 ”) is set. The symbol combination that can recognize the big hit becomes a win display, and a big hit game advantageous to the player is given after the end of the symbol variation effect. On the other hand, in the combination of symbols that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 on each of the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol display device 17, at least one different type of decoration (including effective symbols and blank symbols). Is included, it can be recognized from the symbol combinations (for example, “123”, “73 ·”, “1 · 1”, etc.) that it is an “out-of-game” in which no jackpot game is granted in principle. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize is displayed as an outlier display. “·” Indicates a blank symbol.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the effective lines L1 to L5 of any two predetermined symbol rows (in the embodiment, the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83) among the plurality of symbol rows 81, 82, 83. Reach state (reach) has occurred because the same effective symbol is stopped and displayed, and the remaining symbol sequence (in the example, middle symbol sequence 82) is displayed in a variable manner (reach display). Can be recognized by the player. As a specific example of reach display, a combination of symbols in which the same effective symbols are stopped and displayed on any of the effective lines L1 to L5 in a state where the effective symbols are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83 ( “1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.). In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. Here, in the embodiment, the single reach that is the reach display on any one of the right and left effective lines L1, the middle effective line L2, and the left effective line L3, and 2 extending obliquely. It is possible to cause a double reach that simultaneously displays reach on the first and second effective slope lines L4 and L5. In addition, the decorations of the symbol rows (the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83) forming the reach display are displayed until the decoration symbols are stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) on the remaining symbol rows (middle symbol row 82). During this time, the temporary stop display is set.

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decoration according to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol fluctuation display on the special symbol display devices 50A and 50B. That is, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display devices 50A and 50B and the symbol combination of the decorative graphic displayed on the symbol display device 17 correspond to each other. , 50B, the special figure is fixed and stopped, and the decorative figure is fixed and displayed in the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 of the symbol display device 17. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol Yes.

(About the ball passage gate 47)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a ball passage gate 47 through which a pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20 a can pass is provided on the left side of the frame-shaped decorative body 25. The ball passage gate 47 is provided with a passage ball detection sensor 48 (see FIG. 8), and the passage ball detection sensor 48 detects a pachinko ball passing through the ball passage gate 47. The passing sphere detection sensor 48 is connected to the main control board 60 by wiring, and an input of a sphere detection signal from the passing sphere detection sensor 48 to the main control board 60 (that is, detection of a pachinko sphere by the passing sphere detection sensor 48).

Is configured to be performed. The start winning solenoid 32 of the start winning device 30 is driven and controlled in accordance with the result of the lottery per game, so that the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened and closed.

(About the general-purpose display 55)
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 has a general-purpose display 55 having a light emitting display unit composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) at the left side position of the game area 20a. It is arranged. In this general-purpose indicator 55, there are cases where a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as “normal”) are triggered by the detection of pachinko spheres by the passing sphere detection sensor 48 (passage of pachinko spheres by the ball passage gate 47). ) Is changed, and a universal map change display for deriving one common map is performed. In the embodiment, two types of common diagrams are shown in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, a general diagram is shown by a light emitting mode in which only the upper LED is lit and a light emitting mode in which only the lower LED is lit. In the following description, the general map shown by turning on only the upper LED is referred to as “0”, and for convenience of explanation, the general map shown by turning on only the lower LED is referred to as “1”. To do. Then, from the final display result of the general map display 55, it is possible to recognize the normal map hit or miss. More specifically, the universal map “1” is displayed on the universal map display 55 in the case of hitting the universal map, and the universal map “0” is displayed in the case of a deviation. In other words, the universal map that can recognize this universal map is the display result of the universal map, and the universal map that can recognize the disparity is the display result of the disparate map.

(Regarding the general hold)
Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 has information acquired when a pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 at the left side position of the game area 20a (various random number information to be described later). Is stored as start hold information in the internal storage means (main control RAM 60c), a light emitting display unit is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) that display the number of hold of the usual map hold information. In addition, a general figure hold display unit 56 is provided, and the number of fluctuations of the general figure held by the display content of the general figure hold display unit 56 is notified. The number of the reserved map start display displayed in the map holding display unit 56 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passing gate 47, and is decremented by 1 when the map variation display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number. The general map hold display unit 56 is composed of a plurality of (two in the embodiment) LEDs, and the general map hold display unit 56 starts from the top when the number of general map start hold memories is 1-2. Lights in sequence, and when the general-purpose chart start hold storage number is 3 to 4, the general-purpose hold display section 56 blinks in order from the top, so that the number of hold on which the normal map change display is performed can be grasped. Yes.

(About probability change)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving a first privilege game state (privilege state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. Here, the first privilege gaming state is a state in which the chance to win a pachinko ball in the special prize opening of the special prize winning device 40 is increased as compared with a state where the first privilege gaming state is not given. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability is changed from a low probability (2211/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (2210/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probability change state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is given continuously until the next big hit occurs. Specifically, in the case of a big hit that is given a probability change state, the probability change state is given until 10,000 symbol fluctuation effects (special figure change display) are performed after the big hit game ends, so The next big hit will be generated. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be from when the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of providing a second privilege game state (privilege state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31b increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 that open the second start winning opening 31b, the pachinko ball winning opportunity to the second starting winning opening 31b can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 for opening the second start winning port 31b once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened, or they may be combined. In the embodiment, the above-mentioned (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege gaming state, and in the following description, the combined state of (1) to (3) is referred to as “changed state” for convenience. ". That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31b is improved.

  In the variable speed function of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed on the general map display 55 after the big hit game ends is shortened, and the probability per base map is low (in the embodiment, 1125/65536). It is a function to change from high to high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). In the embodiment, the variation time of the normal map change display is set to 10000 ms from the start of the general map change in a state where the variable state is not given, and the start of the normal figure change is given in a state where the short state is given. To 1000 ms. It should be noted that the time from when the normal map is displayed in a fixed stop to when the next normal map change is performed (the general map change interval time) is set to 600 ms.

  In the state where the variable state is applied, the open / close members 33 and 33 are opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time after the opening and closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened when winning in the normal map display (in the case of a normal map) is won. An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state in which the variable state is assigned, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of the normal figure), the opening / closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened for a predetermined time (implemented). In the example, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state until 1220 ms) is repeated three times at a predetermined time interval (1080 ms in the embodiment). That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing members 33, 33 of the start winning device 30 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates in an advantageous manner. It is set to be. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning port 31b per one time is set, and the winning after the opening and closing members 33, 33 are opened is set. When the number reaches the upper limit number of winnings, the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are closed even before the opening time and the number of opening times are satisfied. Here, the embodiment is configured such that the period during which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is changed according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the big hit. ing. Specifically, when the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is a predetermined probability variation symbol, a variable state is given until the next big jackpot occurs. If the type of jackpot symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is a predetermined non-probable variable symbol, the symbol variation effect (first special symbol variation) is performed a predetermined number of times (100 in the embodiment). It is set so that the variable state is given until the total number of times of display and second special figure variation display) is executed.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the big hit game is set to start after the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicators 50A and 50B as a result of the special figure fluctuation display, and an opening indicating the start of the big hit game is shown. It consists of a production OP, a round game that is repeated by the specified number of rounds (2 rounds or 15 rounds in the embodiment) after the opening production is repeated with an interval time between rounds, and an ending production ED that indicates the end of the jackpot game. ing. In the round game, the opening / closing door 43 of the special prize-winning device 40 opens and closes according to the type of jackpot that has occurred, and a predetermined number (for example, seven) of pachinko balls in the special prize opening in one round game. One round game is completed when a predetermined time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game. In addition, during each round game in the jackpot game, an interval time between rounds in which the open / close door 43 is held in a closed state for a predetermined time is set. That is, in the jackpot game, the opening / closing door 43 performs an opening / closing operation that is equal to or more than the prescribed round number of each jackpot game.

  Here, the opening / closing mode (opening / closing pattern) of the opening / closing door 43 of the special winning device 40 in each round game of the jackpot game includes one opening operation (opening) under the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired at predetermined intervals. For a long period of time during which the specified number of pachinko balls determined for the round game are opened for a time that can be won, and the opening time of the open / close door 43 rather than the long-time opening operation. Is configured by appropriately combining a short-time opening operation set to be short.

(About types of jackpot games)
In the pachinko machine of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when winning the jackpot determination, one jackpot game is determined from a plurality of types (four kinds in the embodiment) of jackpot games having different values to be given to the player. And the determined jackpot game is awarded. Here, among the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined based on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) determined when winning the jackpot determination. It has become so. In the embodiment, the special symbols 1 as 100 kinds of jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the first special symbol display 50A are classified into four groups of symbols A, symbols B, symbols C, and symbols D. Four types of big hit games are awarded according to the special figure 1 that is confirmed and stopped on the figure display 50A. Similarly, the 100 special jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the second special symbol display 50B in the embodiment are classified into four groups of symbol a, symbol b, symbol c, symbol d, Four types of big hit games are awarded according to the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B.

  Here, 45 types of special figures 1 as jackpot symbols are assigned to symbol A, 7 types are assigned to symbol B, 3 types are assigned to symbol C, and 45 types are assigned to symbol D.

A variable state is granted until done. In each round game of the special probability variable big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the special winning opening from the start to the end of the round game. That is, all the round games of the probability variation big hit game are constituted by a full-open round game in which the opening / closing door 43 performs a long-time opening operation that opens from the start to the end of the round game. Accordingly, in the special probability variable big hit game, the open / close door 43 is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation 15 times in the big hit game as a whole.

  In the special probability variation big hit game, “25.0 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game, and in each round game, the opening / closing door extends over “25.0 (seconds)” at the maximum. And open. Note that in the special probability variable big hit game, “12.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “11.5 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. Further, the interval time between rounds of the special probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. That is, the value of the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified into the symbol A and the symbol a is determined is set equal. And when the big hit symbol classified into the symbol A and the symbol a is determined, the effect mode after the end of the big hit game is set to shift to the probability change mode described later.

(About 2R sudden probable big hit game)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol B is displayed on the first special figure display 50A or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol b is displayed on the second special figure display 50B, the big hit game As a result, 2R suddenly promising big hit games are awarded. The 2R sudden probability change big hit game is a round big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “2”, and the upper limit number of winnings of each round game is set to “7”. In the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, the probability change state and the variable state are given after the big hit game ends. In the 2R sudden probability change jackpot game of the embodiment, after the jackpot game is finished, a probability change state is given until the next jackpot game is generated, and a predetermined number (10,000 times) of the symbol change effect (special figure change display). The variable state is given until the operation is performed. In each round game of 2R sudden probability change big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a short-time opening operation for continuously opening the special prize opening from the start to the end of the round game. In the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, the open / close door is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation twice in the whole big hit game. And when special figure 1 or special figure 2 classified into the symbol B and the symbol b is determined, it sets so that it may transfer to the probability change mode mentioned later as an effect mode after a big hit game.

  Here, in the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, “0.3 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In these jackpot games, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “3.2 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. In addition, the interval time between rounds of these jackpot games is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. That is, each round game time (0.3 (seconds)) in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game is such that the number of pachinko balls won in the special prize device 40 does not satisfy the upper limit number of prizes in one round game. Set to time. For this reason, there is almost no winning ball in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game, and there is a possibility of winning the upper limit number of pachinko balls in each round game. It is a game with different value.

(About special probability variation big hit game)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol C is displayed on the first special figure indicator 50A or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol c is displayed on the second special figure indicator 50B, the big hit game Special probability variation big hit games (hereinafter referred to as jump-up probability variation big hit games) are given. The jump-up probability variable jackpot game is a round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the upper limit number of winnings for each round game is set to “7”. In the jump-up probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, a probability changed state and a variable state are given after the big hit game ends. In the jump-up probability variation jackpot game of the embodiment, after the jackpot game ends, a probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is generated, and a predetermined number (10,000 times) of symbol variation effect (special diagram variation display). The variable state is given until the operation is performed.

  In the jump-up probability variation big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 of the special prize device 40 is opened a plurality of times (three times in the embodiment) in the first round game, and the round game starts in the second to fifteenth round games. The opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation to open the special prize opening continuously from the end to the end. In other words, in the first round game of the jump-up probability variation big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is repeatedly opened several times (twice) and then the special prize opening is opened until the end of the round game. The remaining round games after the second round game (for 14 rounds) are all open round games.

  Here, in the first round game of the jump-up probability variation big hit game, the opening time of the opening and closing door 43 in the first opening to the second opening is set to “0.3 (seconds)”, respectively, and the third opening and closing is performed The opening time of the door 43 is set to “24.4 (seconds)”. In addition, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as an interval time within one round between the first opening and the second opening, and one intra-round interval time between the second opening and the third opening. "2.9 (seconds)" is set for each of them. As a result, the round game time of the first round of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is "0.3 (seconds) x 2 + 2.0 (seconds) +2. “29.9 (seconds)” consisting of “9 (seconds) +24.4 (seconds)”. Then, “25.0 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of the first round game after the second round in the jump-up probability big hit game, and the opening / closing door 43 is set to “25” at the maximum in each round game. .0 (seconds) "for a long period of time. In the jump-up probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “11.5 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. The interval time between rounds of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. Then, when the special figure 1 classified as the symbol C or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol c is determined, it is set so as to shift to the probability variation mode described later as the effect mode after the big hit game.

  Further, the opening effect time in the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to the same time as the opening effect time of the 2R sudden probability change big hit game described above. In addition, the opening time of the opening / closing door 43 of the special winning device 40 from the first opening to the second opening in the first round of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to the same time as the round game time in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game. . In the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, the interval time between rounds ("2.0 (seconds)") from the opening of the door 43 in the first round to the closing of the door 43 in the second round is a jump. It is the same time as the in-round interval time ("2.0 (seconds)") in the first round of up-probability big hit game. Therefore, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 from the start of the jump-up probability variation big hit game until the opening / closing door 43 is opened and closed twice is the opening / closing operation of the special prize winning device 40 in the second round after the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game starts. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 until the door 43 is closed is the same as the opening / closing operation. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 distinguishes whether the jump-up probability variation big hit game or the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game. It has become impossible.

(Normally non-probable big hit games)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol D is displayed on the first special figure display 50A, the normal non-probability big hit game is given as the big hit game. The normal non-probable big hit game is a round big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the winning upper limit number of each round game is set to “7”. In the normal non-probability big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, a probable change state is not given after the big hit game ends (it is assumed to be a non-probable change state). The variable state is given only until the special figure variation display is performed a short number of times (100 in the embodiment). Note that the opening / closing mode of the open / close door 43 in each round game in the normal non-probability big hit game is the same as that in the special probability big hit game described above. That is, in each round game of the normal non-probability big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the special winning opening from the start to the end of the round game. That is, all the round games of the non-probability big hit game are constituted by a fully open round game in which the opening / closing door 43 performs a long-time opening operation that opens from the start to the end of the round game. Therefore, in the normal non-probability big hit game, the open / close door 43 is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation 15 times in the whole big hit game.

  In addition, in a normal non-probable big hit game, the opening performance time is “12.0 (seconds)”, and the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25.0 (seconds)”. As “11.5 (seconds)”. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls is won. For this reason, in the normal non-probability big hit game, “25.0 (seconds)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Note that the interval time INa between rounds in the normal non-probability big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. And when the special figure 1 classified into the pattern D is determined, it sets so that it may transfer to the speed-change mode mentioned later as an effect mode after a big hit game.

Configured to perform control.

(About random numbers for judgment)
The main control CPU 60a uses various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number, a special figure determination random number, an effect execution determination random number (reach determination random number), a variation pattern distribution random number, a universal pattern determination random number, etc. Is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c to rewrite the value before the update. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The jackpot determination random number is a random number used in the jackpot determination (hit lottery) as to whether or not a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as the jackpot determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Further, the special figure determination random number determines the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special figure display 50A for fixed stop or the special figure 2 to be displayed on the second special figure display 50B depending on the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Here, in the embodiment, 101 kinds of integer values from “0” to “100” are set as the special figure determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Yes. Each value of the special figure determination random number is set with a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display showing the above-mentioned deviation and a random number corresponding to 100 kinds of special figure display showing the big hit. The special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50A or the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B is specified by the random number for figure determination. . As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified for each type of jackpot game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so The kind of jackpot given after the end can be specified. In addition, as described above, whether or not the probability change state and the variable state are given after the big hit game is uniquely determined for each type of the big hit, and the special figure determining random number indicates the probability change state and the variable state. It also has a function as a random number for determining whether or not to assign.

  In addition, the random number for determining the execution of the effect indicates an effect that suggests that a win display may be displayed when the determination result in the jackpot determination described above is negative (in the case of a failure to win the jackpot). It is a random number used in the performance execution determination (reach determination) of whether or not to perform. In the embodiment, 241 kinds of integer values from “0” to “240” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to determine a variation pattern of symbol variation in a symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, 240 random numbers from “0” to “239” are set as the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). The random number for determining the normal map is a random number used in the determination for the normal map (lottery for the normal map) as to whether or not the normal map is generated as a result of the fluctuation of the normal map. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms).

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the big hit determination random number, the special figure determination random number, the production execution determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number are sent to the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Each random number temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c is triggered by the fact that the player has won a prize (more specifically, the first start prize detection sensor 34a or the second start prize detection sensor 34b has detected a pachinko ball). Are acquired at the same timing by the main control CPU 60a. Each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b. Are used in common, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 31a and 31b. It should be noted that the random number for determining the hit per map is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 (more specifically, when the passing ball detection sensor 48 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a obtains random numbers stored in the memory.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not the jackpot is determined by using the jackpot determination random number (a jackpot determination). A predetermined number of determination values are determined from integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is given at the time of determining the jackpot. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (2210 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (221 in the embodiment). Many are set. That is, the big hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of big hit judgment values in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is displayed on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display 50B as a big hit symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, integer values of “1” to “100” corresponding to the above-described 100 kinds of special figure determining random numbers indicating the big hits are set as the special figure determining determination values. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are individually associated with each determination value.

  The main control ROM 60b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination (reach lottery) indicating whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests that the winning display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the big hit determination is negative. ), Which is determined from among 241 integers from “0” to “240” that can be taken by the random number for determining execution execution. Here, the production execution determination value differs in the number of determination values set depending on whether or not the probability variation state or the variation state described above is applied at the time of performing the performance execution determination.

  That is, in the case of the execution execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31a and the second start winning opening 31b, the execution execution determination set when the variable state is given. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set in the non-variable state where the variable state is not given is larger than the number of values. In the embodiment, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a and the second starting winning opening 31b, the non-probable state and the variable state are not present (low probability + 37 performance execution determination values are set in the case of no change), and 6 performance execution determination values are set in the case of the non-probability change state and the change state (low probability + change), and the probability change state. In addition, when there is a variable state (high probability + variable), three effect execution determination values are set. Further, in the case of an effect execution determination that is performed when a pachinko ball has won a prize at the first start winning opening 31a and the second starting winning opening 31b, the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The set number of production execution determination values is set to vary according to the number of holds and the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information. Specifically, in the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a, the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information is “0” to “2” 37 production execution determination values are set, and 23 production execution determination values are set when the number of holds is “3” to “4”. In addition, in the case of an effect execution determination performed when a pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information and the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information are added together. When the number of holds is “0” to “2”, 37 performance execution determination values are set, and when the total number of holds is “3” to “4”, 23 effect execution determination values are set. ing.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described shortage state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of standard values per map (65535 in the embodiment) set when there is a variable state is the number of standard values per map (65535 in the example) that is set when there is no variable state. More than 1125). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values for the normal map when there is a variable state, the normal map is likely to occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns that specify variation details, and stores variation pattern distribution determination values corresponding to the variation patterns. Here, the variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the fixed stop display. Pattern, which is a basic base of the mode and the voice production mode), 176 types of variation patterns are set in the embodiment. The variation pattern is the variation time (design variation production effect time) from when the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display is started until the special diagram 1 or special diagram 2 is confirmed and stopped. I have identified. The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used to determine the variation pattern using the variation pattern distribution random number, and the random number value that the variation pattern distribution random number can take is a predetermined number of variations for each variation pattern. A pattern judgment value is assigned.

  The variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into variation patterns for jackpot effects and variation patterns for outlier effects, and specific variation pattern determination values are determined for each variation pattern. . Note that the variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. Further, the variation pattern for the offending effect is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is negative. The variation pattern for the offending effect includes a variation pattern for the offending reach effect that is finally set to be a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a fluctuation pattern for the offending effect that is set as a deviation without forming the reach. is there.

  In addition, the symbol variation effect performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is developed so that the reach effect is executed in the middle of the symbol variation effect, and finally the symbol combination of the effective symbol that will be the big hit is confirmed and stopped. A reachable jackpot effect with a reach and a reachable jackpot effect that is unfolded so that the symbol combination of the effective symbol that will eventually become a big hit is displayed in a fixed stop without executing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect. ing. Out-of-bounds reach production is an effect that is developed so that the reach combination is executed in the middle of the design variation production, and the symbol combination of the decorative figure (including the effective design and the blank design) that will eventually become out of place is confirmed and stopped. . The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol combination of the decorative figure (including the effective symbol and the blank symbol) that will eventually be lost without performing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect is displayed in a fixed stop state. Note that the reach effect is a period from when the symbol combination of the effective symbol that is the reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17 until the symbol combination of the decorative symbol that is the jackpot display or off display is stopped and displayed. It is an effect performed in

In other words, it is determined whether or not a winning game is won when the start winning device 30 is won, and a winning game determining means (winning determining means) for determining a type of winning game to be given from a plurality of winning games. The main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game giving means for giving a big hit game of a kind after the special figure change display is finished (after the symbol change effect is finished). The main control CPU 60a has a function as a variation pattern determining means for determining one variation pattern from a plurality of variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning in the start winning device 30. Further, the main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state in which the probability of occurrence of a big hit (the probability that the determination result by the big hit determination means is affirmative) is higher than usual. At the same time, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the end of the big hit game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the big hit determination means is affirmative). Further, the main control CPU 60a has a variable state (winning) in which the probability that a pachinko ball will win the second start winning opening 31b is high when a big hit occurs (when the result of the big hit determination means is affirmative). It functions as a variable state determination means for determining whether or not to grant a (rate improvement state), and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a special number fluctuation display (number of times) determined in advance after the end of the big hit game Function as a winning rate improvement state granting period determining means that determines any period until the next jackpot game is awarded as a period for granting the variable state. At the same time, it also functions as a variable state granting means for granting a variable state only during a period in which a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the big hit game is granted. As described above, the main control CPU 60a gives a privilege state (probability change state, variable change state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning in the start winning device 30 when the winning determination is affirmative. It is provided with a function as privilege state giving means for determining whether or not. Further, the main control RAM 60c has a first holding storage means for storing a pachinko ball won in the first start winning opening 31a as a first start holding ball and a second start of the pachinko ball won in the second start winning opening 31b. It functions as a second holding storage means for storing as a holding ball.

(Main control)
Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(About special map processing)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning port 31a of the start winning device 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 34a corresponding to the first start winning opening 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c, The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31b of the start winning device 30. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 34b corresponding to the second start winning opening 31b detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c, The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed on the special figure indicators 50A and 50B and the symbol display device 17, or whether or not the big hit game is being played. Determine (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the number of holdings of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14), and a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the random number for special figure distribution, the random number for performance execution determination, the random number for performance group distribution, and the random number for variation pattern distribution stored in (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the second special figure storage area MB1 in which the second special figure start holding information stored earliest is stored. Then, after acquiring the random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure start storage information MB2 in the second special figure storage area MB2. Information (random numbers) is stored in the second special figure storage area MB1. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores in the second special figure storage area MB2 the information (random number) of the third special figure storage area MB3 in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area MB4 in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area MB3. That is, the second special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure display 50B so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 221/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 2210/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit changes (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 50B based on the acquired special figure distribution random number (Step 2). B24). Here, since the value of the special figure distribution random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2 separately, the main control CPU 60a is associated with the acquired special figure distribution random number value. By determining the special figure 2, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display 50B as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number (step B29).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern out of the variation patterns for normal production based on the variation pattern distribution random number value (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special drawing 2) in steps B28, B29, B30, and B31 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a specifies a variation pattern, outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of 50B is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the effect execution determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number (step B19), and then the hit determination Execute the process. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 31b is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired in response to the winning of 31a is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the first special figure storage area M1 in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores the first special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area M2. Information (random numbers) is stored in the first special figure storage area M1. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the information (random number) in the third special figure storage area M3 in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored in the second special figure storage area M2. The information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area M4 in which the first special figure start hold information stored fourth (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area M3. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B32). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 221/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 2210/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B32 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 50A based on the acquired special figure distribution random number (Step 1). B34). Here, the special control distribution random number value is associated with the special figure distribution random number value because the big hit symbol is individually associated with the special figure 1 in FIG. By determining the special figure 1, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the big hit effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display 50A as a final stop symbol (special feature). 1) is determined (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B39).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a deviates from the fixed symbol displayed on the first special figure display 50A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern out of the variation patterns for normal performance based on the variation pattern distribution random number (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (Special Figure 1) in Steps B38, B39, B40, and B41, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a first outputs a variation pattern designation command designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol change effect based on the change pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a, and specifies the determined effect pattern. Are output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. Here, the production patterns that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are classified for each production mode, and correspond to the variation patterns from the production patterns that can be selected based on the set value of the production mode flag input to the overall control board 65. An effect pattern to be selected is selected. When the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a displays each symbol sequence to be finally stopped on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The decorative drawings 81, 82 and 83 (stop symbols) and the planned stop positions of the decorative symbols (stop symbols) are determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets the symbol columns 81, 82, The 83 stop symbols are determined, and the effective lines L1 to L5 on which the symbol combinations of the effective symbols to be displayed are displayed are determined. Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 81, 82, 83 specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. To do. Specifically, the overall control CPU 60a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time as the change pattern designation command is input, and designates the left decoration drawing at the stop timing of the decoration drawing in the upper symbol row 81. A command is output, a right decoration designating command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the lower design row 83, and an intermediate decoration designating command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the middle design row 82.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. When the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the symbol combinations including the reach formation symbols are displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5. On the other hand, the general control CPU 65a determines a combination of symbols that can recognize a loss that does not include a reach formation symbol when a variation pattern for the loss effect is instructed. Further, when the overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  The general control CPU also determines the type of jackpot symbol instructed by the special figure 1 designation command or special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU and each designation command relating to the operation / non-operation (end) of the variable state. And the type of effect mode is determined based on the set value of the effect mode flag, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined effect mode. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 65c. When the overall control CPU 65a updates the production mode flag, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the production mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol sequence 81, 82, 83 is input, the display control CPU 70a is designated by the decoration designating command at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the corresponding symbol sequence 81, 82, 83. When the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and all the symbol stop commands are input, the decorative symbol designated by the decorative symbol designation command is confirmed in the symbol display device 17 at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled to stop display, and the symbol variation effect is ended. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated effect mode.

(About fluctuation pattern table)
As shown in FIG. 14, the main control ROM 60b includes a plurality of (three in the embodiment) variation pattern tables PT (hereinafter referred to as “first variation pattern table PT1”, “second variation pattern table PT2”, “first variation pattern table PT1”). 3 variation pattern table PT3 ") is stored. As shown in FIG. 13, in the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3, the above-described 240 variation patterns are used for reach production for special probability variation big hit and for reach production for 2R sudden probability variation big hit. A total of six groups (reaching divisions): one for reach production for jump-up probability variation, one for reach production for normal non-probability jackpot, one for reach production that performs reach, and one for ordinary production without reach It is divided into. A total of 240 variation pattern distribution determination values are set for each effect category, and a predetermined number of variation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to each variation pattern. In the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3, the same variation pattern belongs to each corresponding effect section, and the number of variation pattern distribution determination values assigned to each variation pattern is different. It is. That is, the main control CPU 60a selects one of the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 under the conditions described later, based on the acquired special figure distribution random number value, By determining the final stop symbol to be a big hit symbol (step B24 in FIG. 6 or step B34 in FIG. 7), the effect category is specified, and the main control CPU 60a further determines the value based on the obtained random number for distributing the variation pattern. Then, one variation pattern is determined from the specified performance divisions (step B25 in FIG. 6 or step B35 in FIG. 7).

(Variation time by production)
In the main control ROM 60b, as shown in FIG. 13, for each effect section of the first to third change pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3, the change time of each change pattern set in the effect section and each An effect-specific variation time ST (ST1 to ST6) calculated based on the number of allocations of variation pattern distribution determination values allocated to the variation pattern is stored. In other words, when it is assumed that a predetermined type (for example, 50 types) of variation patterns are set for the reach production for the special probability variation jackpot, for example, the variation time ST by production is 240 in total for each of the 50 variation patterns. A variation pattern distribution determination value is assigned from among them. Therefore, an intermediate calculation value (for example, X) is calculated by integrating (T × W) the variation time (for example, T) and the assigned number of variation pattern distribution determination values (for example, W) for each of the 50 variation patterns. Then, the numerical value calculated by dividing the total of the 50 intermediate calculated values X calculated for each variation pattern by “240” is the variation time ST ( ST1).

  Accordingly, in each effect category, for example, a large number of allocations of variation pattern allocation determination values for variation patterns with relatively short variation times are set, and variation pattern allocation determination for variation patterns with relatively long variation times. When the number of values assigned is set to be small, the effect-specific variation time ST in the effect section is shortened. Conversely, set a small number of variable pattern assignment judgment values for fluctuation patterns with relatively short fluctuation times, and set a large number of assignments for fluctuation pattern distribution judgment values for fluctuation patterns with relatively long fluctuation times. In such a case, the effect-specific variation time ST in the effect section becomes relatively long. In the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3, even if the types and number of variation patterns belonging to the effect division are the same in the same effect division, the variation pattern distribution for each variation pattern is the same. By changing the number of assigned judgment values, the variation time ST for each effect is set to be different even in the same effect category.

(About average change time)
Further, in the main control ROM 60b, as shown in FIG. 13, in the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3, the big hit (special probability variable big hit, 2R sudden probability variation big hit, jump-up probability variation big hit, and normal non-probable variation big hit four combined production category) variation pattern average variation time TA and deviation reach production variation pattern average variation time TB It is remembered. In the outlier reach effect division, the effect-specific variation time ST5 described above becomes the average variation time TB. As described above, the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3 change the variation pattern distribution determination values for the variation patterns by changing the variation pattern distribution determination values for the variation patterns. ) And the variation time ST (ST1 to ST6) for each production, the average variation times TA and TB for the jackpot reach production and the outreach reach production are made different.

  Specifically, the first variation pattern table PT1 indicates that the number of allocations of variation pattern distribution determination values of variation patterns in which variation time is relatively short among variation patterns set in the representation segment in the outlier reach production segment. Is set to a small number of variation pattern allocation determination values of variation patterns with relatively long variation times, and among the three variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3, the first variation pattern table PT1 includes The production-specific variation time ST5 of the outlier reach production division is set to be the longest. Accordingly, the average fluctuation time TB1 of the outlier reach effect section is set to be the longest in the first fluctuation pattern table PT1.

  In the first variation pattern table PT1, each of the four effect categories set in the jackpot reach effect category is a variation in which the variation time is relatively short in the variation pattern set in each effect category. The number of allocations of variation pattern allocation determination values for patterns is set to be less than the number of allocations of variation pattern allocation determination values of variation patterns having a relatively long variation time, and the three variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 Among them, the variation time ST (ST1 to ST4) for each effect of each jackpot effect section in the first variation pattern table PT1 is set to be the longest. Accordingly, the average fluctuation time TA1 of the big hit reach production section is set to be the longest in the first fluctuation pattern table PT1.

  The second variation pattern table PT2 indicates the number of allocations of variation pattern distribution determination values of variation patterns having a middle variation time among variation patterns set in the performance segment in the variation reach production segment. Is set to be larger than the number of allocations of variation pattern allocation judgment values of relatively short variation patterns and the number of allocations of variation pattern allocation judgment values of variation patterns having a relatively long variation time. The separate variation time ST is set shorter than the production-specific variation time ST of the first variation pattern table PT1. Therefore, the average fluctuation time TB2 of the outlier reach effect section in the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is shorter than the average fluctuation time TB1 of the outlier reach effect section in the first fluctuation pattern table PT1.

  In addition, the second variation pattern table PT2 is a variation pattern of variation patterns in which the variation time of the four variation divisions belonging to the jackpot reach production division is an intermediate variation time among the variation patterns set for each production division. The number of allocation judgment value allocations is greater than the number of allocations for variation pattern allocation determination values for variation patterns with relatively short variation times and the number of allocations for variation pattern allocation determination values for variation patterns with relatively long variation times. The effect-specific variation time ST (ST1 to ST4) of the jackpot reach effect section is set shorter than the effect-specific variation time ST (ST1 to ST4) of the jackpot reach effect section of the first variation pattern table PT1. . Accordingly, the average fluctuation time TA2 of the big hit reach effect section of the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is shorter than the average fluctuation time TA1 of the big hit reach effect section of the first fluctuation pattern table PT2.

  The third variation pattern table PT3 indicates the number of allocations of variation pattern distribution determination values of variation patterns with relatively short variation times in the variation patterns set in the effect segment, in the variation reach production segment. Is set to be larger than the number of allocation of the variation pattern allocation determination value of the relatively long variation pattern, and the variation time ST5 for each effect of the outlier reach effect section is according to the effect of the outlier reach effect section of the second variation pattern table PT2. It is set shorter than the fluctuation time ST5. Therefore, the average fluctuation time TB3 of the outlier reach effect section in the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is shorter than the average fluctuation time TB2 of the outlier reach effect section in the second fluctuation pattern table PT1.

  In addition, the third variation pattern table PT3 includes variations of variation patterns in which each of the four performance categories belonging to the big hit reach performance category has a relatively short variation time among the variation patterns set in each performance category. The allocation number of pattern allocation determination values is set to be larger than the allocation number of variation pattern allocation determination values of variation patterns having a relatively long variation time, and the variation time ST (ST1 to ST4) of the jackpot reach effect division ) Is set shorter than the production-specific variation time ST (ST1 to ST4) of the jackpot reach production section of the second variation pattern table PT2. Therefore, the average fluctuation time TA3 of the big hit reach effect section of the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is set shorter than the average fluctuation time TA2 of the big hit reach effect section of the second fluctuation pattern table PT2.

  That is, with respect to the average fluctuation time TB of the outlier reach effect division, the average fluctuation time TB1 of the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is the longest, and then the average fluctuation time TB2 of the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 and the average of the third fluctuation pattern table PT3. It is set to be shorter in the order of the fluctuation time TB3 (TB1> TB2> TB3). Regarding the average variation time TA of the big hit reach production section, the average variation time TA1 of the first variation pattern table PT1 is the longest, followed by the average variation time TA2 of the second variation pattern table PT2, and the average variation time of the third variation pattern table PT3. It is set to be shorter in the order of TA3 (TA1> TA2> TA3).

(Measuring means for deviation fluctuation frequency)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as a deviation fluctuation number counting means for counting the number of deviation fluctuations. In other words, the main control CPU 60a counts the number of deviation fluctuations that are executed from the time when the certainty change state or shortage state is given in the right or wrong state that is the privilege state. Further, the main control RAM 60c functions as a deviation fluctuation number storage unit that updates and stores the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations counted by the main control CPU 60a, and each time the main control CPU 60a outputs a count signal, the count number of the main control RAM 60c. 1 is added. Further, the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations stored in the main control RAM 60c is configured to be cleared when the big hit determination is affirmative and the big hit game is awarded.

(Variation pattern table determination means)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as a variation pattern table determining means for selecting the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 based on the number of deviation variations. The main control CPU 60a selects the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 based on the count value of the number of deviation variations stored in the main control RAM 60c. In the main control ROM 60b, as the selection criteria for the variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3, the first deviation setting number (in the embodiment, “31 times”) and the second deviation setting with respect to the count value of the deviation fluctuation number are set. The number of times (in the embodiment, “51 times”) is stored. Therefore, based on the variation pattern table determination table shown in FIG. 15, the main control CPU 60a selects the first variation pattern table PT1 when the count value of the number of outlier variations is less than 31 times (1 to 30 times). When the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 times or more and less than 51 times (31 to 50 times), the fluctuation pattern is selected by selecting the second fluctuation pattern table PT2, and the deviation pattern is determined. When the count value of the number of fluctuations is 51 times or more, the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is selected to determine the fluctuation pattern. That is, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment selects the first variation pattern table PT1 in which the average variation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is set long when the number of outlier variations is small in the privilege state, and the number of outlier variations increases. Accordingly, the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 in which the average fluctuation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is shorter than the first fluctuation pattern table PT1, and the third that the average fluctuation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is shorter than the second fluctuation pattern table PT2. The variation pattern table PT3 is sequentially selected. As a result, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the probability that a fluctuation pattern with a relatively short fluctuation time is determined increases, so that the gaming time is shortened as the number of deviation fluctuations increases. ing.

(Fluctuation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation fluctuations)
FIG. 16 shows an example of a variation pattern table determination process performed by the main control CPU 60a based on the number of deviation variations. The main control CPU 60a confirms the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations recorded in the main control RAM 60c when the big hit determination is negative in the probability changing state or the changing state which is the privilege state (step C1). If it is determined that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 or more (step C2), the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is selected (step C3), and the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is set. After “1” is set to the fluctuation pattern table flag shown, the fluctuation pattern table determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step C2 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 50, and it is determined in step C4 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or more, the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is selected. (Step C5), “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the second variation pattern table PT2 is set, and then the variation pattern table determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step C4 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 31, the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is selected (step C6), and the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is set. After “1” is set to the fluctuation pattern table flag shown, the fluctuation pattern table determination process is terminated.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 can select the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 based on the number of deviation variations at the timing when the jackpot determination is affirmative. It is like that. As described above, the main control CPU 60a stores the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations in the main control RAM 60c. When the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a stores the number of deviation fluctuations stored in the main control RAM 60c. The count value is confirmed, and the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 are selected based on the variation pattern table determination table shown in FIG. That is, the main control CPU 60a selects the first variation pattern table PT1 to determine the variation pattern when the count value of the deviation variation number at the time of positive determination of the big hit determination is less than 31 times (1 to 30 times), When the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations at the time of affirmative determination of the big hit determination is 31 times or more and less than 51 times (31 to 50 times), the fluctuation pattern is determined by selecting the second fluctuation pattern table PT2, and the big hit When the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations at the time of affirmative determination is 51 or more, the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is selected to determine the fluctuation pattern. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment selects the first variation pattern table PT1 in which the average variation time TA of the big hit reach effect division is set long when the big hit occurs when the number of deviation fluctuations is small in the privilege state. When the number of out-of-range fluctuations increases to a big hit, the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 in which the average fluctuation time TA of the big hit reach effect section is shorter than the first fluctuation pattern table PT1, and the average fluctuation time of the big hit reach effect section The third variation pattern table PT3 in which TA is shorter than the second variation pattern table PT2 is sequentially selected. As a result, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the probability that a fluctuation pattern with a relatively short fluctuation time is determined increases, so that the gaming time is shortened as the number of deviation fluctuations increases. ing.

(Variation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation fluctuations when the big hit judgment is positive)
FIG. 18 shows an example of a variation pattern table determination process performed by the main control CPU 60a based on the number of deviation fluctuations at the timing when the big hit determination becomes an affirmative determination. The main control CPU 60a confirms the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations recorded in the main control RAM 60c when the big hit determination becomes an affirmative determination in the probability changing state or the changing state that is the privilege state (step C11). When it is determined that the count value of the number of fluctuations is 51 or more at the timing when the big hit determination is affirmative (step C12), the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is selected (step C13), and the third fluctuation is determined. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the pattern table PT3 is set, the variation pattern table determination processing ends. In step C12, when the big hit determination is affirmative, it is determined that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 50, and in step C14, the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is determined to be 31 or more, the second The variation pattern table PT2 is selected (step C15), and “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the second variation pattern table PT2 is set, and then the variation pattern table determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step C14 that the count value of the number of fluctuations is less than 31 when the big hit determination is affirmative, the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is selected (step C16), and the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that it is set, the variation pattern table determination processing is terminated.

(Production execution determination value determination means based on the number of deviation fluctuations)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as effect execution determination value determining means for changing the set number of effect execution determination values based on the number of deviation fluctuations. In the embodiment, as described above, six performance execution determination values are set in the variable mode (non-probable state and variable state), and in the case of the probability mode (probably variable state and variable state). Three production execution determination values are set. Accordingly, in the probability variation mode, the main control CPU 60a is configured to reduce the set number of performance execution determination values to less than three when the number of deviation fluctuations increases based on the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations stored in the main control RAM 60c. In the variable speed mode, based on the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations stored in the main control RAM 60c, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the number of effect execution determination values set is set to be less than six. Control.

  That is, in the embodiment, in the probability variation mode, the main control CPU 60a determines that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is the first based on the effect execution determination value determination table based on the number of deviation fluctuations in the probability variation mode shown in FIG. If it is less than the set number of misses (in the embodiment, “31” times) (1 to 30 times), the production execution determination value is set to 3, the count value of the number of missed fluctuations is 31 times or more and the second In the case of less than the set number of outliers (in the embodiment, “51” times) (31 to 50 times), the production execution determination value is reduced to two, and when the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 times or more, The production execution determination value is reduced to one. In the variable speed mode, the main control CPU 60a determines that the count value of the deviation fluctuation number is the first deviation based on the effect execution determination value determination table based on the deviation fluctuation number in the variable speed mode shown in FIG. In the case of less than the set number of times (in the embodiment, “31” times) (1 to 30 times), the production execution determination value is set to 6 and the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 times or more and the second deviation In the case of less than the set number of times (in the embodiment, “51” times) (31 to 50 times), the effect execution determination value is reduced to four, and when the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 times or more, the effect The execution judgment value is reduced to two. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases in the privilege state, the number of production execution determination values set decreases, so that the reach occurrence rate is lowered and the game time is shortened. It is configured. It should be noted that the number of production execution determination values set is not limited to that described above, and is appropriately set if it is less than the number of production execution determination values set during probability variation mode and the number of production execution determination values set during variation mode. Of course, it can be changed.

(Production execution judgment value determination process based on the number of deviation fluctuations)
FIG. 20 shows an example of the effect execution determination value determination process performed by the main control CPU 60a based on the number of deviation fluctuations in the probability variation mode. When the big hit determination is negative (step C11), the main control CPU 60a checks the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations recorded in the main control RAM 60c. If it is determined that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 or more (step C12), the effect execution determination value is set to one (step C13), and the effect execution determination value determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step C2 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 50, and it is determined in step C4 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or more, the effect execution determination value is set to two. The setting is performed (step C5), and the effect execution determination value determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step C4 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 31 times, the effect execution determination value is set to 3 (step C6), and the effect execution determination value determination process ends. The effect execution determination value determination process in the variable speed mode is different only in the number of effect execution determination values set.

(Special figure change interval time setting means)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as special figure fluctuation interval time setting means for adjusting the special figure fluctuation interval time (fluctuation interval time) IT set between symbol fluctuation effects. The special figure fluctuation interval time (reference interval time) IT in the normal mode is set to a constant value of 1000 ms (1.0 second). However, the main control CPU 60a changes the deviation in the probability change state or variable state which is the privilege state. When the number of times increases, control is performed to shorten the special figure fluctuation interval time IT. That is, in the embodiment, based on the interval time determination table shown in FIG. 21, the main control CPU 60a determines that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than the first deviation set number (in the example, “31” times) (1 to 30 times). In this case, the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set to 1000 ms which is the same as the reference interval time, and the count value of the deviation fluctuation number is 31 times or more and less than the second deviation setting number (in the embodiment, “51” times). In the case of (31 to 50 times), the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set to be shortened to 800 ms. When the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 times or more, the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set to be shortened to 500 ms. It is supposed to be. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to shorten the game time because the special figure fluctuation interval time IT becomes relatively short when the number of deviation fluctuations increases in the privilege state. It should be noted that the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is not limited to the above numerical value and can be changed as appropriate.

(Special figure fluctuation interval time adjustment process)
FIG. 22 explains the special figure fluctuation interval time adjustment processing. The special symbol variation interval setting process is executed every predetermined period (for example, 4 ms), and the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not all symbol stop commands have been output (step C31) and outputs all symbol stop commands. If not, the special figure variation interval setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 60a outputs an all symbols stop command, the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations stored in the main control RAM 60c is confirmed (step C32), and the number of deviation fluctuations is the second deviation set number. If it is determined that the number of times is 51 times or more, the special figure fluctuation interval time is set to 500 ms (step C33), and “1” is set in the interval flag indicating that the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set. The special figure fluctuation interval setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step C32 that the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 51, and it is determined in step C34 that the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or more, the special figure fluctuation interval time is set to 800 ms (step C35) After setting “1” in the interval flag indicating that the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set, the special figure fluctuation interval setting process is terminated. If it is determined in step C36 that the number of deviation fluctuations is less than 31, the special figure fluctuation interval time is set to 1000 ms (step C36), and an interval indicating that the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is set. After the flag is set to “1”, the special figure fluctuation interval setting process is terminated.

(Counting means per consecutive times)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as a hit continuous number counting means for counting the number of consecutive big hit games. That is, the main control CPU 60a counts the number of consecutive hit games in the probability changing state or the variable state that is the privilege state, with the probability changing state or the variable state interposed therebetween. Further, the main control RAM 60c functions as means for storing the number of consecutive consecutive games per count that the main control CPU 60a counts, and functions as a unit for storing the number of consecutive consecutive games, and every time the main control CPU 60a outputs a count signal, the main control RAM 60c The count number is incremented by one. And the count value of the number of consecutive hits stored in the main control RAM 60c is configured to be cleared when the provision of the privilege state is completed.

(Variation pattern table determination means based on the number of consecutive hits)
The main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 has a function as a variation pattern table determining means for selecting the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 based on the number of consecutive hits. The main control CPU 60a selects the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 based on the count value of the number of consecutive hits stored in the main control RAM 60c. In the main control ROM 60b, as selection criteria for the variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3, the first per set number of times (in the embodiment, “5 times”) and the second per set value for the count value of the consecutive hits The number of times (in the embodiment, “8 times”) is stored.

  Therefore, the main control CPU 60a determines that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is based on the variation pattern table determination table shown in FIG. When the number is less than the set number of times (in the embodiment, “5” times) (2 to 4 times), the first variation pattern table PT1 is selected to determine the variation pattern, and the count value of the number of consecutive consecutive times is 5. If the number of times is equal to or greater than the number of times and less than the second set number of times (in the embodiment, “8” times) (5 to 7 times), the second variation pattern table PT2 is selected to determine the variation pattern, When the count value is 8 times or more, the third variation pattern table PT3 is selected to determine the variation pattern. That is, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment selects the first variation pattern table PT1 in which the average variation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is set long when the number of consecutive hits is small in the privilege state, and the number of hits is continuous. As it increases, the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 in which the average fluctuation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is shortened, and the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 in which the average fluctuation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is shorter than the second fluctuation pattern table PT2. Are selected sequentially. As a result, when the number of consecutive big hits increases, the variation time for the offense effect is determined with a relatively short variation time, so the game time is shortened as the number of consecutive consecutive hits increases. It is configured as shown.

(Variation pattern table determination process based on the number of consecutive hits)
FIG. 24 shows an example of a variation pattern table determination process performed by the main control CPU 60a based on the number of consecutive hits. When the big hit determination is affirmative in the probability changing state or the variable state that is the privilege state (step C41), the main control CPU 60a checks the count value of the number of consecutive hits recorded in the main control RAM 60c. Then, when it is determined that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is 8 or more which is the second set number of times (step C42), the third variation pattern table PT3 is selected (step C43), and the third variation pattern table PT3 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the variation pattern table is set, the variation pattern table determination processing ends. Further, in step C42, it is determined that the count value of consecutive hits is less than 8, and in step C44, the count value of consecutive hits is 5 or more (5 to 7) that is the set number per first. Is determined (step C45), the variation pattern table flag indicating that the second variation pattern table is set is set to “1”, and then the variation pattern table is selected. The decision process is terminated. If it is determined in step C44 that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is less than 5 (2 to 4 times), the first variation pattern table PT1 is selected (step C46), and the first variation pattern table PT1 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that it is set, the variation pattern table determination processing is terminated.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  In the normal mode, when the determination result of the jackpot determination with the winning of the pachinko ball in the first starting winning port 31a of the starting winning device 30 is affirmative or the pachinko ball wins in the second starting winning port 31b of the starting winning device 30 When the determination result of the jackpot determination triggered by is positive, as described above, the main control CPU 60a sets the jackpot flag to 1 and is determined based on the acquired special figure distribution random number value. Based on the final stop symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2), one of “Special Probability Big Hit Game”, “2R Sudden Probability Big Hit Game”, “Jump Up Probability Big Hit Game”, or “Normal Non-Probability Big Hit Game” Is granted. Then, when any one of “special probability change big hit game”, “2R sudden probability change big hit game” or “jump-up probability change big hit game” is given, after the big hit game ends, a probability state and a change state as a bonus state are given. Probability mode with a short state. In addition, when “normal non-probability change big hit game” is given because the big hit determination is affirmed in the normal mode described above, the change is given a change state as a privilege state after the end of the big hit game. It becomes a mode.

(When the big hit judgment is negative in the privilege state)
When the determination result of the jackpot determination triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball with respect to the first start winning port 31a of the start winning device 30 is negative in the probability changing mode or the variable speed mode to which the privilege state is given, the main control RAM 60c An effect execution determination (reach determination) is performed by determining whether or not the acquired effect execution determination random number value matches the effect execution determination value (step B37 in FIG. 7). If the result of the performance execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 50A as the final stop symbol (special Fig. 1) (Fig. 7, Fig. 7). Step B38). Further, in step B39 in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a performs a variation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation variations, and selects the first variation pattern table PT1. Then, the main control CPU 60a uses the first variation pattern table PT1 to determine one variation pattern from the outlier reach effect division based on the value of the effect group distribution random number acquired in step B40 in FIG. . On the other hand, when the production execution determination result is negative, the main control CPU 60a determines the off symbol displayed as a final stop symbol on the first special symbol display 50A as the final stop symbol (special symbol 1) (FIG. 7, FIG. 7). Step B40). Further, in step B41 in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the outlier effect division based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value using the first variation pattern table PT1.

  When the determination result of the jackpot determination that triggered the winning of the pachinko ball with respect to the second start winning port 31b of the start winning device 30 is negative, the value of the random number for effect execution determination acquired from the main control RAM 60c is the effect execution determination value. Is performed to determine whether or not to perform the production (reach determination) (FIG. 6, step B27). If the result of the performance execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 50B as the final stop symbol (special symbol 2) (FIG. 6, FIG. 6). Step B28). Further, in step B29 in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a performs a variation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation variations and selects the first variation pattern table PT1. Then, the main control CPU 60a uses the first variation pattern table PT1 to determine one variation pattern from the outlier reach effect division based on the value of the effect group distribution random number acquired in step B40 in FIG. . On the other hand, when the production execution determination result is negative, the main control CPU 60a determines the off symbol displayed as a final stop symbol on the first special symbol display 50A as the final stop symbol (special symbol 1) (FIG. 7, FIG. 7). Step B40). Further, in step B41 in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the outlier effect division based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value using the first variation pattern table PT1.

(When the negative judgment of the big hit judgment continues in the privilege state)
During the probability variation mode or the variation mode in which the privilege state is given, the jackpot determination is triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball with respect to the first starting winning port 31a of the starting winning device 30 and the pachinko ball is won with respect to the second starting winning port 31b. Each time the jackpot determination is performed with the trigger as the trigger, the variation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation variations shown in FIG. 16 and described above is performed. When the negative determination of the big hit determination continues during the probability variation mode or the variation mode, the main control CPU 60a performs the first variation pattern table determination process based on the variation variation table count until the variation variation count reaches 30. One variation pattern table PT1 is selected, one variation pattern is determined from the outlier reach effect division based on the first variation pattern table PT1, and a symbol variation effect is performed based on the variation pattern. Further, when the negative determination of the big hit determination continues during the probability variation mode or the variation mode, and the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or more, the main control CPU 60a performs the second fluctuation pattern table by the fluctuation pattern table determination process based on the number of deviation fluctuations. PT2 is selected, and one variation pattern is determined from the off stage effect segment using the second variation pattern table PT2. Since the average fluctuation time TB2 of the outlier reach effect section in the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is set shorter than the average fluctuation time TB1 of the outlier reach effect section in the first fluctuation pattern table PT1, the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or more. In this case, compared to the case where the number of deviation fluctuations is 30 or less, a fluctuation pattern with a short fluctuation time is easily selected, and the fluctuation time per one time of the symbol fluctuation effect is shortened on average.

  Further, when the negative determination of the big hit determination continues during the probability variation mode or the variation mode and the number of deviation fluctuations becomes 51 or more, the main control CPU 60a performs the third fluctuation based on the fluctuation pattern table determination process based on the deviation fluctuation number. The pattern table PT3 is selected, and one variation pattern is determined from the outlier reach effect division using the third variation pattern table PT3. Since the average fluctuation time TB3 of the outlier reach production section in the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is set shorter than the average fluctuation time TB2 of the outlier reach production section in the second fluctuation pattern table PT2, the number of outlier fluctuations is 51 times or more. In this case, compared with the case where the number of deviation fluctuations is 50 or less, a fluctuation pattern having a short fluctuation time is easily selected, and the fluctuation time per one time of the symbol fluctuation effect is reduced on average.

  Further, the negative determination of the big hit determination continues during the probability changing mode or the variable speed mode, and the main control CPU 60a performs the special figure fluctuation interval setting process shown in FIG. The interval time IT is set to 1000 ms. Then, when the negative determination of the big hit determination continues and the number of deviation fluctuations becomes 31 or more, the main control CPU 60a sets the special figure fluctuation interval time IT to 800 ms by the special figure fluctuation interval setting process. Furthermore, when the negative determination of the big hit determination continues during the probability change mode or the variable speed mode and the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 or more, the main control CPU 60a sets the special figure fluctuation interval time IT to 500 ms by the special figure fluctuation interval setting process. Set. Therefore, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the special figure fluctuation interval time IT is shortened, so that the game time can be shortened compared to the case where the number of deviation fluctuations is small.

  Furthermore, the main control CPU 60a sets the effect execution determination value to 37 when the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or less based on the effect execution determination value determination table based on the number of deviation fluctuations shown in FIG. If the number of deviation fluctuations is 50 or less, the production execution determination value is reduced to 25, and if the big hit determination is negative, the production execution determination value is reduced to 15 when the deviation fluctuation number is 51 or more. To. Therefore, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the reach probability is reduced by the production execution determination, and the frequency of the deviation reach production is reduced, and the game time can be shortened as compared to the normal mode.

(If the result of jackpot determination is affirmative in the privilege state)
If the determination result of the big hit determination triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball with respect to the first start winning opening 31a of the start winning device 30 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a sets the big hit flag to 1 and the acquired special figure Based on the value of the random number for distribution, the final stop symbol (special symbol 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol indicator 50A is determined. Here, since the special figure 1 is classified into four groups of the symbols A, B, C, and D, the special figure 1 determined by the main control CPU 60a is one of the symbols A to D. When the special chart 1 determined by the main control CPU 60a is classified as the symbol A, the main control CPU 60a performs a variation pattern table determination process to select the first variation pattern table PT1, Probable big hit game "is given. Further, the main control CPU 60a uses the first variation pattern table PT1 to select one of the reach effect divisions of the special probability variable big hit game based on the value of the effect group distribution random number acquired in step B35 in FIG. Determine the variation pattern.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative and the special figure 1 determined by the main control CPU 60a is classified as the symbol B, "2R sudden probability change big hit game" is given, and the main control CPU 60a Using the first variation pattern table PT1 selected by performing the pattern table determination process, in step B35 in FIG. 7, the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game reach effect division based on the value of the effect group distribution random number acquired. From this, one variation pattern is determined. Further, when the special figure 1 determined by the main control CPU 60a is classified as the symbol C, “jump-up probability variation big hit game” is given, and the main control CPU 60a performs the variation pattern table determination process and selects it. Using the first variation pattern table PT1, in step B35 in FIG. 7, one variation pattern is determined from the reach effect divisions of the jump-up probability variation big hit game based on the acquired random number for effect group distribution. Furthermore, when the special figure 1 determined by the main control CPU 60a is classified as the symbol D, "usually non-probable change big hit game" is given, and the main control CPU 60a performs the change pattern table determination process and selects it. In step B35 in FIG. 7, using the first variation pattern table PT1, one variation pattern is determined from the reach effect divisions of the normal non-probability variation big hit game based on the acquired random number for distribution of the effect group.

  Then, the main control CPU 60a outputs various commands to the overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 based on the special figure 1 (designs A, B, C, D) that is the final stop symbol and the variation pattern. Then, the overall control CPU 65a determines each decorative drawing (stopped symbol) of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a planned stop position of each decorative symbol (stopped symbol), and displays the display control board. 70. The display control CPU 70a executes symbol variation effects in the symbol columns 81, 82, 83 of the symbol display device 17. If the big hit determination is affirmative, the missed fluctuation count value stored in the main control RAM 60c is cleared.

  In addition, the main control CPU 60a performs the case where the number of deviation fluctuations is 31 or less at the time when the determination result of the jackpot determination with the winning of the pachinko ball with respect to the first start winning port 31a of the start winning device 30 becomes affirmative. Selects the first variation pattern table PT1, selects the second variation pattern table PT2 when the number of outlier variations is 50 or less when the determination result of the big hit determination becomes affirmative, and determines the determination result of the big hit determination When the number of deviation fluctuations at the time when becomes positive is 51 or less, the third fluctuation pattern table PT3 is selected.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the probability that the performance execution determination in the probability variation mode is affirmative is 3/241, and the probability that the performance execution determination in the speed change mode is affirmative is 6/241. Since the probability that the performance execution determination in the mode is affirmative is 37/241, the reach probability in the probability variation mode and the variation mode is set lower than the reach probability in the normal mode. In other words, in the probability variation mode and the variable speed mode in which the privilege state is given, the frequency of the outlier reach effect is reduced compared to the normal mode in which the privilege state is not given, so that it is possible to speed up the game. Therefore, by changing the affirmative determination probability in the main control CPU 60 depending on the presence / absence of the privilege state, it is difficult to reach in the privilege state, and the game can be speeded up.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is provided with first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3 in which the average variation time TB of the outlier reach production division is different, and the loss after the big hit game ends in the privilege state. When the number of fluctuations increases, a fluctuation pattern table having a short average fluctuation time TB for the outlier reach effect section is selected, and the fluctuation pattern is determined by the fluctuation pattern table. Accordingly, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases in the probability variation mode or the variation mode, the probability that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected increases, and accordingly, a symbol variation effect with a short variation time is easily executed. Thus, the variation time per one time of the symbol variation effect is reduced on average, and the game speed can be increased.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is set so that the special symbol variation interval time IT between the symbol variation effects is shortened when the number of deviation variations increases in the probability variation mode or the variation mode. When the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the game time is shortened and the game speed can be increased.

  On the other hand, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is provided with the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3 in which the average variation time TB of the outlier reach production section is different, and the probable state or the short state as the privilege state. In the case where the number of consecutive hits increases, a variation pattern table having a short average variation time TB in the loss reach effect section is selected, and the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern table. Therefore, when the number of consecutive hits in the probability variation mode or the variation mode increases, the probability that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected increases, and accordingly, a symbol variation effect with a short variation time is easily executed. Thus, the variation time per one time of the symbol variation effect is reduced on average, and the game speed can be increased. In addition, when the number of consecutive hits increases in the probability variation mode or the variation mode, the main control CPU 60a selects a variation pattern with a different variation time so that a symbol variation effect with a different variation time can be executed. Thus, it is also possible to change the rhythm of the game by changing the variation time of the symbol.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment selects a different variation pattern table PT each time the number of consecutive hits reaches a predetermined number of hits by the variation pattern table determination process based on the number of consecutive hits. The probability that a variation pattern with a short variation time is determined every time the number of consecutive hits reaches the number of hits set increases, and the variation time of the symbol is gradually shortened to change the game rhythm.

(Change example)
The gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated in the examples and modifications, and various modifications can be made.

(First change example)
In the state where the privilege state is given, every time the number of consecutive games per count counted by the main control CPU 60a reaches a predetermined number, the average of the outlier reach effect divisions calculated based on the variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a The variation time TB may be configured to change alternately in length. For example, as shown in the variation pattern table determination table shown in FIG. 25, when the number of consecutive hits is 2 to 4 in the probability variation mode or the variation mode, the first to first variations are determined by the variation pattern table determination process. In each of the third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, PT3, the first variation pattern table PT1 having the longest average variation time TB in the outlier reach effect section is selected, and one out of the outlier effect section is selected based on the first variation pattern table PT1. Determine one variation pattern. When the number of consecutive hits is 5 to 7, the average variation time TB of the divergence reach effect section is the shortest in each of the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3 by the variation pattern table determination process. The third variation pattern table PT3 is selected, and one variation pattern is determined from the outlier reach effect division based on the third variation pattern table PT3. Further, when the number of consecutive hits is 8 times or more, the variation pattern table determination process selects the second variation pattern table PT2 in which the average variation time TB of the outlier reach effect section is shorter than the third variation pattern table PT3, and Based on the second variation pattern table PT2, one variation pattern is determined from the outlier reach effect division.

  FIG. 26 shows an example of the variation pattern table determination process performed by the main control CPU 60a based on the variation pattern table determination table based on the continuous number of hits shown in FIG. When the big hit determination is affirmative in the probability changing state or the variable state that is the privilege state (step C51), the main control CPU 60a checks the count value of the number of consecutive hits recorded in the main control RAM 60c. Then, when it is determined that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is 8 or more which is the second set number of times (step C52), the second variation pattern table PT2 is selected (step C53), and the second variation pattern table PT2 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the variation pattern table is set, the variation pattern table determination processing ends. Further, in step C52, it is determined that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is less than 8, and in step C54, the count value of the consecutive consecutive times is 5 times or more (5 to 7 times) that is the set number of times per first. Is determined (step C45), the variation pattern table flag indicating that the third variation pattern table is set is set to “1”, and then the variation pattern table is selected. The decision process is terminated. If it is determined in step C54 that the count value of the number of consecutive hits is less than 5 (2 to 4 times), the first variation pattern table PT1 is selected (step C56), and the first variation pattern table PT1 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that it is set, the variation pattern table determination processing is terminated. Note that the order of the first to third variation pattern tables PT1 to PT3 can be variously selected as long as the order changes.

  According to the variation pattern table determination process based on the number of consecutive hits according to the first modified example, when the number of consecutive hits is less than 5 and 5 or more, the variation time is 5 times or more than the case of less than 5 times. A long fluctuation pattern is easily determined, and a fluctuation pattern having a shorter fluctuation time is more easily determined when the number of times is eight times or more than when the number is less than eight times. A short variation pattern and a variation pattern having a long variation time are alternately determined. Therefore, as the number of consecutive hits increases, the rhythm of the game can be changed by shortening or lengthening the symbol variation time.

(Second change example)
In a state where the privilege state is given, the number of deviation fluctuations counted by the main control CPU 60a is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (the number of set deviations), and the number of consecutive consecutive times counted by the main control CPU 60a is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (per set number of times). In this case, the number of deviation fluctuations is less than the predetermined number of times (the set number of deviations) or the case where either one of the cases where the number of consecutive hits is less than the predetermined number of times (the set number of hits) is satisfied. It is also possible to configure the average fluctuation time TB of the loss reach effect section calculated based on the fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a to be further shortened. FIG. 27 shows a variation pattern table determination process according to the second modification example. In the second modification example, in addition to the first to third variation pattern tables PT1, PT2, and PT3 exemplified in the embodiment, This is a variation pattern table determination process that takes into account the number of outlier variations and the number of consecutive hits with the fourth variation pattern table PT4 additionally set. Here, in the fourth variation pattern table PT4, the average variation time TA4 of the jackpot reach effect section in the table PT4 is set shorter than the average variation time TA3 of the jackpot reach effect section in the third variation pattern table PT3, The average fluctuation time TB4 of the outlier reach effect section in the table PT4 is set shorter than the average fluctuation time TB3 of the outlier reach effect section in the third fluctuation pattern table PT3.

  In the variation pattern table determination process of the second modified example, as shown in FIG. 27, when the big hit determination is negative in the privilege state (step C61), the main control CPU 60a records the number of deviation fluctuations recorded in the main control RAM 60c. Check the count value. In step C62, it is determined that the count value of the deviation variation number is less than the second deviation setting number (here, 51 times), and in step C63, the count value of the deviation variation number is the first deviation setting number (here, 31). If it is determined that the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is selected (step C64), the fluctuation pattern table flag indicating that the second fluctuation pattern table PT2 is set is set to “1”. The variation pattern table determination process ends. If it is determined in step C63 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is less than the first deviation setting number of 31 times, the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is selected (step C65), and the first fluctuation pattern table PT1 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the variation pattern table is set, the variation pattern table determination processing ends.

  If it is determined in step C62 that the count value of the number of deviation fluctuations is 51 or more, which is the second deviation fluctuation number, the count value of the number of consecutive hits is confirmed. If it is determined in step C66 that the count value of the consecutive hits is less than the hit set number (here, 8), the third variation pattern table PT3 is selected (step C67), and the third variation pattern table PT3 is selected. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the variation pattern table is set, the variation pattern table determination processing ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step C66 that the count value of the consecutive number of hits is 8 or more which is the set number of hits, the fourth variation pattern table PT4 is selected (step C68), and the fourth variation pattern table PT4 is set. After “1” is set in the variation pattern table flag indicating that the variation pattern is being performed, the variation pattern table determination processing is terminated. Therefore, according to the variation pattern table determination process of the second modification example, when the number of deviation fluctuations increases, the probability that the fluctuation pattern for the deviation effect with a relatively short fluctuation time is determined increases. As the number of fluctuations increases, the game time is shortened. At the same time, if the number of deviation fluctuations increases and the number of consecutive hits increases, the fluctuation time is relatively short. Since the probability of determining the variation pattern increases, the game time can be further shortened when the number of shift variations increases in the state where the number of consecutive hits increases.
