Therefore, in the following description, the first special figure indicator 60a and the second special figure indicator 60b may be simply referred to as the special figure indicator 60 without being distinguished.

  In the symbol display device 18, a display effect (symbol variation effect) related to the special symbol variation display performed by the special symbol display device 60 is performed. Specifically, in the symbol display device 18, a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display) is performed, and a symbol variation effect that displays a combination of symbols by varying a plurality of types of symbols (decorative drawings) in a plurality of columns. Is done. In the special figure display 60 and the symbol display device 18, the special figure fluctuation display and the decoration drawing fluctuation display are started at the same time and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special figure and the decoration drawing are displayed in a fixed stop state simultaneously).

  In the embodiment, one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery is selected from the plural types (species in the embodiment) of the special figure display 60, and when the special figure variation display ends. The special figure selected in this way is displayed as a fixed stop. The special figure displayed on the special figure display 60 includes 50 kinds of big hit symbols (corresponding to the big hit display result) that can recognize a big hit, and one type that can recognize a deviation. It is categorized as an outlier design. Then, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the special figure display 60, the big hit game is given to the player. The jackpot game set in the pachinko machine of the embodiment will be described in detail later.

  The symbol display device 18 displays eight types of numbers “0” to “7” in the left and right columns as decorative figures, and eight types of numbers “0” to “7” in the center column and The letter “A” is displayed as a decorative drawing. Then, when the decorative drawings of all the columns stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 18 are of the same type, it is possible to recognize the occurrence of the big hit to which the big hit game is given from the symbol combination (such as “777”). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the jackpot display is confirmed and stopped as a result of the symbol variation effect, the jackpot game is given to the player thereafter. On the other hand, in the case where the decorative symbols of all the columns displayed on the symbol display device 18 are stopped and displayed are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( "123" etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize the deviation is a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation based on the decorative drawing.

  When the jackpot symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 60 as a fixed stop display, as a rule, the symbol display device 18 displays the symbol combination on the jackpot (for example, “333”). . Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 60, the off symbol combination (for example, “754” or the like) is also displayed on the symbol display device 18 in a fixed stop manner. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing for the special drawing is not necessarily in a one-to-one relationship, and the symbol combination by one decorative drawing is selected from the symbol combinations by a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. It has come to be.

The In addition, in the special non-probability big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the positive change state is not given after the big hit game ends, while the short time state (winning rate improvement state) is given after the big hit game ends. It has become so.

  As shown in FIG. 6, this special non-probable big hit game is the first round, the second round, the fourth round, the fifth round, the seventh round, and the eighth round round game from the start to the end of the round game. The opening / closing member 53 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the second special winning opening 51. In addition, in the third, sixth, and ninth round games of the special non-probability big hit game, the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 is moved a plurality of times (in the embodiment, twice) by only the short-time opening operation. ) It is set to open. That is, in the special non-probable big hit game, the open / close member 53 performs a long-time opening operation that continuously opens from the start to the end of the round game, and a short game within the round game. This is composed of a plurality of (three times) second special round games (second special round games) that cause the opening / closing member 53 to perform only the time release operation. In other words, the special non-probable big hit game is a second special round game after a predetermined number of (2) full-open round games from the first round game, and then a full-open round game. The second special round game is executed in a cycle in which the second special round game is performed once after the full-open round game is performed twice, and the second special round game reaches the set number of times (three times). After that, all open round games are set to be repeated up to the specified number of rounds. Here, in the special non-probable big hit game, since the second special round game does not include a long-time release operation, the second special round game cannot achieve the winning of the specified number of pachinko balls. Players can win 6 rounds of prize balls. In other words, in the first to third special probability variable jackpot games and the special non-probability variable jackpot game, the prizes that the player can win in the jackpot game despite the same number of rounds being “9”. It is set so that there is a difference in the number of balls.

  In the second special round game (the third, sixth, and ninth round games), there is at least one in-round interval in each round game in which the opening / closing member 53 closes the second special winning opening 51 (implemented). It is set once in the example). And it sets so that the said 2nd round game may be complete | finished by making the opening-and-closing member 53 repeat a short time open operation | movement twice continuously over the interval in a round from the start of a 2nd special round game. Therefore, in the special non-probability big hit game, after the second short-time release operation is performed in the second special round game, the all-open round game is performed with the interval between rounds interposed.

  Here, in the special non-probability big hit game, “25 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of the first round game of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth rounds. The opening / closing member 53 is opened for a long time of "25 (seconds)" at the maximum. On the other hand, in the round games of the third, sixth, and ninth rounds, the opening time of the two opening / closing members 53 is set to “0.06 (seconds)”, respectively. Further, “6.716 (seconds)” is set as an intra-round interval between the first opening and the second opening. In the special non-probable big hit game, the interval between rounds after the second special round game (that is, between the third and fourth rounds, between the sixth and seventh rounds, between the ninth round and the ending) is “6”. The other inter-round intervals in the special non-probable big hit game are set to “1.0 (seconds)” except before the start of the final round. In the special non-probable big hit game, “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “14.6 (seconds)” is set as the ending time.

  That is, in the first to third special probability variable big hit games, the number of round games performed from the start of the big hit game to the first first special round game, and in the special non-probable big hit games, from the start of the big hit game The number of round games to be performed before the first second special round game is set to the same number (both are two times). Then, in the first and second special probability variation big hit games, the long-time opening operation performed between successive short-time opening operations (that is, the long-time opening operation included in the first special round game and the next all-opening round game) Long-time opening operation) and the long-time opening operation that takes place between consecutive short-time opening operations in a special non-probable big hit game (long-opening time in a fully open round game during the second special round game) The number of times of opening operation is set to the same number (twice).

  In addition, as described above, in the first special round game in the first to third special probability variable big hit games, from the start of the first short-time release operation to the end of the in-round interval after the short-time release operation ( In other words, the time (until the start of the second short-time opening operation) is “6.772 (seconds)” consisting of “0.06 (seconds) +6.716 (seconds)” (see FIG. 7). Similarly, the time from the start of the short-time opening operation of the last round (second time) to the end of the in-round interval after the short-time opening operation (that is, until the start of the long-time opening operation) is also the same. , “6.72 (seconds)” consisting of “0.06 (seconds) +6.716 (seconds)”. That is, in the first to third special probability variation big hit games, the time from the start of the short-time opening operation to the next long-time opening operation is “6.776 (seconds) × 2”. 552 (seconds) ". On the other hand, in the special non-probability big hit game, from the start of the first short time release operation in the second special round game to the end of the intra-round interval after the short time release operation (that is, the second short time release operation) The time until the start of (6) is “6.776 (seconds)” composed of “0.06 (seconds) +6.716 (seconds)”. In addition, the time period from the start of the second short-time opening operation in the second special round game to the end of the inter-round interval after the short-time opening operation (that is, from the start of the long-time opening operation or the ending effect ED). Similarly, “6.776 (seconds)” consisting of “0.06 (seconds) +6.716 (seconds)” is obtained. In other words, in the special non-probable big hit game, the time from the start of the short-time release operation to the next long-time release operation is “13.552 (seconds)” consisting of “6.776 (seconds) × 2”. "Is set. That is, the time from the start of the short-time release operation to the next long-time release operation in the first to third special probability variable big hit games, and the time from the start of the short time release operation in the special non-probability big hit game Next, the time until the long opening operation or the ending effect ED is set is set to be the same, and in the first to third special probability variable big hit games, the first special round game is started when the long opening operation is started. On the other hand, in the special non-probable big hit game, when the opening operation is started for a long time, the game moves to the next round game. Accordingly, whether the first to third special probability variable big hit games or the special non-probable big hit games are the big hits, and what round the currently played round game is, from the appearance of the opening and closing member 53. It cannot be identified.

(Regarding the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10)
Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. The control device 70 provided in the pachinko machine 10 includes a CPU 70a that executes control processing, a ROM 70b that stores a control program executed by the CPU 70a, various random values that the CPU 70a reads, and various information that accompanies the control processing. RAM 70c etc. which can memorize | store temporarily are provided (refer FIG. 4). Various sensors such as the start winning ball detection sensor 34, the first special winning ball detection sensor 39, and the passing ball detection sensor 48 are connected to the CPU 70a. In addition, the CPU 70a is connected to various displays such as the symbol display device 18, the special figure display 60, the special figure hold display units 61 and 62, the general figure display 65, the general figure hold display unit 66, and the like. Based on the control process executed by the CPU 70a triggered by the detection of the sensor, the display control of each indicator is executed, the display control of the symbol display device 18 is performed, and the start winning device 30 and the special winning award. The drive control of the solenoid provided in the apparatus is performed. Further, the CPU 70a updates various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period (for example, 2 milliseconds), stores the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 70c, and rewrites the values before the update. Yes.

  Here, in the ROM 70b, a plurality of types of variation patterns indicating the game time from when the special figure starts to change until it is definitely displayed (until the special figure fluctuation display ends) are stored. Yes. In other words, the variation pattern specifies the effect time of the symbol variation effect (the variation time of the special drawing or the decorative drawing) from when the special symbol starts to change until the fixed stop display is displayed. Therefore, on the special figure display 60, the fluctuation stops when the fluctuation time determined in the fluctuation pattern elapses after the fluctuation of the special figure starts, and the big hit symbol or the off symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. Then, a symbol variation effect is performed in the effect time specified by the variation pattern in the symbol display device 18, and the variation of the decorative drawing is stopped when the variation time determined in the variation pattern elapses, and the special symbol display 60 stops. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing corresponding to the displayed special drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  Among the plurality of types of variation patterns in the present embodiment, there is a variation pattern for a jackpot effect that is selected when a probability variation jackpot game is determined. Among the plurality of types of variation patterns, there are variation patterns for concealment effects that are selected when the first to third special probability variation big hit games and the special non-probability big hit games are determined. Among the plurality of types of variation patterns, there is a variation pattern for a loss effect selected when the big hit lottery is not won. In addition, the variation pattern for the offending effect includes a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect including the reach effect and a variation pattern for the outlier normal effect not including the reach effect. Note that there are multiple types of variation patterns for the jackpot effect, the concealment effect, the outlier reach effect, and the outlier normal effect. For example, when a probable big hit game is determined, a plurality of types of jackpot effects are provided. A variation pattern for a big hit effect is determined from among the variation patterns for use.

  The ROM 70b stores a plurality of types of hit effect patterns indicating patterns serving as a base for a game effect (winning effect) performed in the symbol display device 18 for a big hit game. When the probability variation big hit game is determined, one hit effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of hit effect patterns that can be selected in the probability variation big hit game.

  Further, when the first to third special probability variation big hit games and the special non-probability big hit games are determined, one hit effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of common hit effect patterns that can be selected in these hit games. Is done. That is, when the first to third special probability variable big hit games and the special non-probable big hit games are determined, the hit effects having the same basic contents are performed. In the winning effect pattern selected in the first special probability variation big hit game, the first special probability variation is made between the start of the winning game and the time when the opening / closing member 53 performs the third opening (that is, the long time opening) in the seventh round. The first specific display indicating that the game is a big hit game is set to be displayed. In addition, in the hit effect pattern selected in the second special probability variation big hit game, the second special time is between the start of the hit game and the time when the opening / closing member 53 opens for the third time (that is, open for a long time) in the fifth round. A second specific display indicating that the game is a probable big hit game is set to be displayed. Then, in the hit effect pattern selected in the third special probability variable big hit game, the third special is between the start of the hit game and the time when the opening / closing member 53 opens for the third time (that is, open for a long time) in the third round. A third specific display indicating that the game is a probable big hit game is set to be displayed. In addition, in the hit effect pattern selected in the special non-probability big hit game, the end of the round interval after the opening / closing member 53 is closed the second time in the ninth round from the start of the hit game (the ending effect ED is performed). Until the time point), a fourth specific display indicating that the game is a special non-probability big hit game is set to be displayed.

  That is, by displaying the first to fourth specific indications, the player can recognize that the corresponding first to third special probability variation big hit games or special non-probability big hit games are realized. In addition, it becomes impossible to determine which winning game is given from the contents (common effects) of the winning effects performed in the symbol display device 18 in the first to third special probability variable big hit games and the special non-probable big hit games. ing. Here, when the first to third special probability variation big hit games are determined, the opening and closing member 53 performs the third opening (that is, the opening for a long time) in the third round, the fifth round, or the seventh round; Is not only when the opening of the opening / closing member 53 and the display of the first to third specific indications are simultaneous, but also when the opening time of the opening / closing member 53 and the display timing of the specific display cannot be perceived by the player. This includes the case where the position is shifted back and forth.

  Here, as a common effect in the winning game performed when the first to third special probability variable big hit games and the special non-probable big hit game are determined, the same content may be the same, and the progress of the performance ( The story develops as the game progresses), suggesting that the big hit game is the first to third special probability variable big hit game (or not the first to third special probability variable big hit game). It may be a production. In this case, you may make it change the expectation that the said big hit game is a 1st-3rd special probability change big hit game by story development. The story developed in the common effect may have a continuous story flow, or may be a fight effect of characters A and B. In addition, as the first to third specific indications indicating the first to third special probability variable big hit games, an explicit display such as “first to third special probability variable big hit games” or a result of specifying the developed effects An indirect display such as display (for example, victory of character A) can be used.

  The ROM 70b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery to determine whether or not to generate a big hit, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1439 integers from 0 to 1438) that the random number for winning determination can take. The number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (33 in the embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. More than the number (four in the embodiment) is set. In the embodiment, the jackpot determination value used for the big hit determination based on the first special figure start hold memory number and the jackpot determination value used for the big hit determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number are: The same thing.

  The RAM 70c stores a hit determination random number used in the internal lottery for the big hit determination. The random number for hit determination stored in the RAM 70c is updated every predetermined period (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the updated value is stored in the setting area of the RAM 70c to rewrite the value before the update. Then, the CPU 70a obtains a hit determination random number when the pachinko ball wins the upper and lower start winning openings 31a and 31b. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the hit determination random number acquired by the CPU 70a matches the predetermined jackpot determination value, and the result of the special figure variation display (symbol variation effect) based on the hit determination random number Is set to determine whether or not a big hit is made. That is, the CPU 70a has functions as a random number acquisition unit and a hit determination unit (big hit determination unit).

  The RAM 70c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure to be a big hit symbol. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number (one in the embodiment) of this special figure distribution random number, and the CPU 70a acquires the special figure acquired when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the figure distribution random number. The special figure distribution random number is determined by the CPU 70a at predetermined intervals (every 4 ms) so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the embodiment, all 50 integers from “0” to “49”) can be obtained. ) Is updated by adding 1 to the numerical value. Then, the CPU 70a stores the updated value in the RAM 70c as a special figure distribution random number value, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number value by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random value value. It is like that. In the embodiment, the special figure distribution random numbers are acquired when the pachinko balls win the upper and lower start winning openings 31a and 31b.

  Here, the value of the special figure distribution random number is appropriately distributed for each type of jackpot game, and when the big hit determination is affirmative, the value of the special figure distribution random number is determined, so that the big hit The types of games are also determined. That is, when the special figure variation display results in a big hit, the type of the big hit game is specified according to the determined big hit symbol (special figure), and the special figure as the big hit symbol is determined and specified. A big hit game is given. Further, in accordance with the determined jackpot symbol, it is determined whether or not to give a probability change state and a winning rate improvement state in the game after the jackpot game, and to determine a period for giving the probability changing state and the winning rate improvement state. It has become. At the time of determination of outage (when the big hit judgment is negative), a special figure is determined from one type of outlier design, and the special figure as the outlier design is confirmed and displayed to change the special figure. The display is completed and the next special figure variation display is performed.

  The ROM 70b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not the normal hit is made, and is determined from numerical values (all 107 different integers from 0 to 106) that the normal hit determination random number can take. Note that the number of normal winning judgment values differs depending on whether or not the winning rate improvement state is given, and the number of normal winning judgment values when the winning rate improvement state is given (in the embodiment, 106 Is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (two in the embodiment). The RAM 70c stores a normal hit determination random number used for the normal hit determination. In the embodiment, the normal hit determination random number is acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47.

  In other words, the winning game determining means (big hit determining means) for determining the type of winning game to be given from a plurality of types of winning games and the determined type of winning game after the end of the special figure variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect) The CPU 70a has a function as a game-giving means for giving. The CPU 70a functions as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state in which the probability that a big hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the big hit determination means becomes affirmative) is higher than normal. And, 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 CPU 70a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a big hit occurs (when the result of the big hit determination means is affirmative). Further, the CPU 70a gives a winning rate improvement state in which the probability that a pachinko ball will win the lower start winning opening 31b becomes high when a big hit occurs (when the result of the big hit determination means is affirmative). It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means that determines whether or not to win, and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a special number variation display (symbol variation effect) is executed a predetermined number of times after the end of the jackpot game Until the next jackpot game is awarded or the next jackpot game is awarded as a winning rate improvement state grant period determining means for determining the winning rate improvement state, and the jackpot It also functions as a winning rate improvement state giving means for giving a winning rate improvement state only during a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the game ends.

  Next, various processes executed by the CPU 70a of the control device 70 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(About special map processing)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the start winning opening 31a on the upper side of the start winning apparatus 30 (step S11). That is, in step S11, the CPU 70a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start winning ball detection sensor 34 corresponding to the upper start winning port 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step S11 is negative, it transfers to step S15. If the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 70c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S12). If the determination result of step S12 is negative (that is, the first special figure start pending storage number is 4), the CPU 70a proceeds to step S15.

  If the determination result in step S12 is affirmative (first special figure start hold memory number <4), the first special figure start hold memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure start hold memory number stored in the RAM 70c is determined. Rewriting is performed (step S13). Subsequently, the CPU 70a reads the value of the random number for hit determination and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 70c, and associates the random number value with the first special figure start pending storage number in a predetermined memory of the RAM 70c. An area is set (step S14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the start winning opening 31b on the lower side of the start winning device 30. That is, in step S15, the CPU 70a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start winning ball detection sensor 34 corresponding to the lower start winning port 31b detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step S15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step S15 is affirmative, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 70c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S16). If the determination result of step S16 is negative (that is, the second special figure start hold storage number is 4), the CPU 70a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the second special figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1, and the second special figure start reserved memory number stored in the RAM 70c is added. Rewriting is performed (step S13). Subsequently, the CPU 70a reads the value of the random number for hit determination and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 70c, and associates the value of the random number with the second special figure start pending storage number in a predetermined storage of the RAM 70c. An area is set (step S17). 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. In the special figure starting process, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the symbols (special illustrations and decorations) are being displayed on the special symbol display device 60 and the symbol display device 18, or whether the game is a big hit game (step) S201). And when the determination result of step S201 is affirmative, CPU70a complete | finishes a special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S201 is negative, the second special figure start reserved memory number is read (step S202), and it is determined whether or not the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S203). When the determination result of step S203 is negative (when the second special figure start pending storage number = 0), the CPU 70a proceeds to the process of step S206. If the determination result in step S203 is affirmative (second special figure start hold memory number> 0), the second special figure start hold memory number is decremented by 1 (step S204), and the second special figure start hold memory number is subtracted. The CPU 70a obtains the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 70c associated with the figure start pending storage number (step S205), and then executes the hit determination process. To do.

  If the determination result of step S203 is negative, the first special figure start hold memory number is read (step S206), and it is determined whether or not the first special figure start hold memory number is greater than "0" (step S206). S207). If the determination result in step S207 is affirmative (the first special figure start hold memory number> 0), the first special figure start hold memory number is subtracted by 1 (step S208), and the first special figure start hold memory number is subtracted. The CPU 70a obtains the value of the random number for hit determination and the special figure distribution random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 70c associated with the figure start pending storage number (step S209), and then executes the hit determination process. To do. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S207 is negative (when the first special figure start hold storage number = 0), the CPU 70a determines whether or not the demonstration effect is being executed (step S210). If the result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step S211). If the determination result in step S210 is affirmative (when the demonstration effect is being executed), the CPU 70a ends the special figure start process.

(About winning judgment processing)
In the hit determination process, as shown in FIG. 10, a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the value of the random number for hit determination acquired by the CPU 70a matches the big hit determination value stored in the ROM 70b. (Step S31). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination becomes positive in the normal state (low probability) (the big hit probability) is set to 4/1439, and the probability change state (high probability) ) Is determined to be 33/1439. If the determination result of the big hit determination means in step S31 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step S32). Then, the CPU 70a determines the final stop symbol (special symbol) displayed on the special symbol display 60 from the jackpot symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S33). Next, the CPU 70a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S34). Based on the determined variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the CPU 70a executes various processes related to the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display 60 and the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 18 (step S35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination of step S31 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the CPU 70a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S36). In the embodiment, the CPU 70a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 70c during the process of step S36 matches the reach determination value. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery for determining whether or not a reach effect is to be performed, and is determined from values that can be taken by random numbers for reach determination (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240). Yes. If the determination result in step S36 is affirmative (when a reach effect is to be performed), the CPU 70a determines the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol indicator 60. (Step S37). Next, the CPU 70a determines a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect (step S38). Then, the CPU 70a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S35, and similarly to the above, the special diagram variation display and special symbol display on the special symbol display 60 based on the determined variation pattern and final stop symbol. The CPU 70a executes various processes related to the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 18.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S6 is negative (when reach is not performed), the CPU 70a determines the off-line symbol as the final stop symbol (special symbol) displayed on the special symbol display 60 in a fixed stop manner. (Step S39). Next, the CPU 70a determines a variation pattern for the off-normal effect (step S40). Then, the CPU 70a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S35, and similarly to the above, the special diagram variation display and special symbol display on the special symbol display 60 based on the determined variation pattern and final stop symbol. The CPU 70a executes various processes related to the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 18.

(About the case where a jackpot game is awarded)
Then, when the hit determination means determines the big hit (when “1” is set in the big hit flag), the CPU 70a determines the type of the big hit game after the special figure change display (symbol change effect) is finished. Start controlling. Hereinafter, the contents of control performed by the control device 70 when a jackpot game is awarded will be described for each jackpot game.

(When probable big hit game is awarded)
When the CPU 70a determines the probable big hit game, the CPU 70a, when the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is finished, plays the first round game after the elapse of a predetermined opening effect time (7 seconds). The round game time (max 25 seconds) is started and the opening / closing door 38 of the first special prize-winning device 35 is opened for a long time. In the first round game, the opening / closing door 38 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of the round game time or a predetermined number of pachinko balls is won) is satisfied, so that the round game (all open rounds) (Game) ends.

  When the round game for the first round is completed, the round game for the second round (all-open round game) is started after the elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 seconds), as with the start of the first round. The measurement of the round game time (max 25 seconds) is started, and the opening / closing door 38 of the first special winning device 35 is opened for a long time. In the second round game, the opening / closing door 38 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of the round game time or a predetermined number of pachinko balls has been won) is satisfied. Ends. Thereafter, similarly, in the round games of the third round to the sixteenth round, the opening / closing door 38 of the first special prize-winning device 35 is controlled to open for a long time, and when the round game of the sixteenth round ends, The ending effect ED is executed after the interval has elapsed, and the big hit game ends.

  When the probability variation big hit game is awarded, the CPU 70a sets “1” in the probability variation flag, and sets “until next time” as the probability variation state grant count indicating the number of remaining symbol variation effects to which the probability variation state is imparted. Set the value shown. In the embodiment, “10000 times” is set as the number of times the probability variation state is imparted, and the probability variation state is substantially imparted until the next time. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Further, when a probable big hit game is awarded, the CPU 70a sets “1” in the operation flag and sets “until next time” to the number of times of operation indicating the remaining number of symbol variation effects to which the winning rate improvement state is given. Set the value shown. In the embodiment, “10000 times” is set as the number of times the winning rate improvement state is given, and the winning rate improvement state is substantially given until the next time. When the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the winning rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the winning rate improvement state is not given. Is shown. The probability variation state grant count and the winning rate improvement state grant count are decremented by 1 each time a special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is executed, and each value becomes “0” or a big hit game is granted. Then, “0” is set in the probability variation flag and the operation flag.

(When the first special probability variation game is awarded)
The case where the CPU 70a determines the first special probability variable big hit game will be described with reference to FIGS. When the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) ends, the CPU 70a starts the first round game after the elapse of a predetermined opening effect time (7 seconds), and measures the round game time (max 25 seconds). At the same time, the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 is opened for a long time. Then, in the first round game, the opening / closing member 53 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of round game time or winning of a predetermined number of pachinko balls) is satisfied, so that the round game (all open rounds) (Game) ends.

  When the round game for the first round is completed, the round game for the second round (all-open round game) is started after the elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 seconds), as with the start of the first round.

  When the round game of the third round is completed, the CPU 70a causes the fourth round game (full open round game) to be performed after a predetermined interval between rounds (6.716 seconds) has elapsed. In the round game of the fourth round, as in the second round, a full-open round game is started and measurement of the round game time (max 25 seconds) is started and the opening and closing member 53 of the second special prize winning device 50 is opened for a long time. Let the action take place. Then, in the fourth round game, the opening / closing member 53 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of the round game time or a predetermined number of pachinko balls is won) is satisfied. Ends. When the round game of the fourth round is completed, the CPU 70a causes the fifth round game (full release round game) to be performed after a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 second) has elapsed. In the round game of the fifth round, as in the second round, the full-open round game is started, the round game time (max 25 seconds) is started, and the open / close member 53 of the second special prize winning device 50 is opened for a long time. Let the action take place. Then, in the fifth round game, the opening / closing member 53 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of the round game time or a predetermined number of pachinko balls is won) is satisfied, so that the fifth round game Ends.

  When the sixth round game ends, the CPU 70a causes the sixth round game to be performed after a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 second) has elapsed. The round game of the sixth round is the second special round game, similar to the round game of the third round, and the CPU 70a allows the maximum number of winning pachinko balls while the round game time (max 38.102 seconds) elapses. Is opened and closed twice on the condition that no winning is made. The opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 in the sixth round game is the same as that in the third round round game, but the details are omitted, but the in-round interval (6.716 seconds) is sandwiched. The short-time opening operation (0.06 seconds) is repeated twice continuously on the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 to finish the sixth round game (second special round game). It is supposed to let you.

  When the sixth round game is completed, the CPU 70a, in the same manner as the fourth and fifth round games after the third round game, has a predetermined inter-round interval (6.716 seconds). After the lapse, the seventh round game (all-open round game) is performed, and the opening / closing member 53 is closed on condition that the end condition (elapse of the round game time or winning a predetermined number of pachinko balls) is satisfied. This completes the seventh round game. When the seventh round game ends, the CPU 70a causes the eighth round game (all-open round game) to be performed after a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 seconds) has elapsed, and the end condition (round When the opening / closing member 53 is closed on condition that the game time has passed or a predetermined number of pachinko balls have been won), the eighth round game is completed.

  When the round game of the eighth round is completed, the CPU 70a causes the ninth round game to be performed after a predetermined interval between rounds (1.0 second) has elapsed. The round game of the ninth round is the second special round game like the round game of the third round, and the CPU 70a has the maximum number of winning pachinko balls during the round game time (max 38.102 seconds). Is opened and closed twice on the condition that no winning is made. The opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 in the ninth round game is the same as that in the third round game, and will not be described in detail, but with an in-round interval (6.716 seconds) in between. The short-time opening operation (0.06 seconds) is repeatedly performed twice on the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize-winning device 50 to finish the ninth round game (second special round game). It is supposed to let you.

  When the round game of the ninth round is finished, the ending effect ED is executed after the interval between rounds (6.716 seconds) has elapsed, and the big hit game is finished. Then, after completing the big hit game, the CPU 70a sets “0” to the probability change flag, and the main CPU 70a (winning rate improvement state giving means) sets “1” to the operation flag, and sets the number of times the probability change state is given to “next time”. Set a value indicating “to”. Further, the main CPU 70a sets 50 as the number of operations. Then, the CPU 70a sets “0” in the big hit flag.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the above-described embodiment will be described.

Pachinko balls launched into the game area along the guide rails provided on the game board 20 come into contact with the game nails provided on the game board 20 while changing the flow direction. Then, when the pachinko balls flowing down the game area win the upper and lower start winning openings 31a and 31b of the start winning apparatus 30, the special figure display on the special figure display 60 is displayed based on the control of the control apparatus 70. Is started, and the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 18 is started. As a result of the special figure change display (design change effect), a big hit is generated when a predetermined big hit symbol (special figure) is displayed on the special figure display 60. Then, it granted the jackpot gaming according to the type of Japanese diagram displayed in JP diagram display 60 along with the occurrence of the big hit, door 38 of the first special pay device 35 provided below the front Symbol game board 20 Alternatively, the opening / closing operation is performed according to the type of jackpot game to which the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize device 50 provided on the left side of the frame-shaped decorative body is provided.

  Here, the second special prize-winning device 50 is disposed on the left side of the frame-shaped decorative body 40 so that the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20a of the game board 20 passes through the ball passage gate 47 before and after. Since it is configured to be able to flow down toward the second special prize-winning device 50, the frequency with which the pachinko balls flowing down the game area 20a are guided to the second special prize-winning device 50 is increased. That is, in the first to third special probability variation big hit games and special non-probability big hit games that open and close the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize winning device 50, the pachinko balls flowing down the left side of the frame-shaped decorative body 40 are the second special It is easy to win in the second special winning opening 51 of the winning device 50, and the big hit game can be digested in a short time. On the other hand, the first special prize-winning device 35 is disposed in the lower part of the game board 20, and in the probability variation big hit game that opens and closes the first special prize-winning port of the first special prize-winning device 35, the pachinko that flows down the game area. The frequency at which the ball is guided to the first special winning opening is lower than the frequency at which the ball is guided to the second special winning opening 51 of the second special winning device 50 in the first to third special probability variation big hit games and the special non-probability big hit games. Become. Therefore, by arranging the second special winning device 50 in the frame-shaped decorative body 40, it becomes possible to attach a sharpness according to the type of the big hit game.

  Here, when the first and second special probability variable big hit games that open and close the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize winning device 50 are compared with the third special probability variable big hit games, the opening and closing in the first to fourth round games The opening / closing mode of the member 53 is exactly the same between the round interval, the opening time of the opening / closing member 53, and the in-round interval. For this reason, it is not possible to recognize which jackpot game is among the first to third special probability variable jackpot games from the opening mode of the opening and closing member 53 in the first to fourth rounds. Similarly, in the first special probability variation jackpot game and the second special probability variation jackpot game, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 53 in round games from the first to sixth rounds is the interval between rounds, the opening time of the opening / closing member 53 and the round Since the inner intervals are exactly the same, the opening mode of the opening / closing member 53 from the first to sixth rounds distinguishes and recognizes which jackpot game is the first or second special probability variable jackpot game. It is not possible. In this way, in the first and second special probability variable big hit games in which the first to third special probability variable big hit games having different numbers of times including the first special round game are set, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 53 is changed. Since different first special round games are provided a plurality of times, it is possible to attract the player's interest every time the first special round is performed. That is, by providing the first special round game that can determine the type of the big hit game currently being performed multiple times, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player over the long term of the big hit game.

  In addition, when comparing the first to third special probability variation jackpot games and the non-probability variation jackpot game, the opening / closing mode of the opening and closing member 53 in the round games up to the first to third rounds is two times in the third round in each jackpot game. Until the short-time opening operation is performed, the interval between rounds, the opening time of the opening / closing member 53, and the interval within a round are exactly the same. On the other hand, in the third round game (the first special round game) of the first to third special probability variation big hit games, the long-time release operation is performed with an interval in the round after the short-time release operation twice. On the other hand, in the third round game of the special non-probable big hit game (second special round game), the round game is terminated by two short-time release operations, and the next round is held with an interval between rounds. Since the transition to a game (all-open round game), when observed as a round game in the third round, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 53 in the first to third special probability variable big hit games and non-probability variable big hit games is Is different. In this case, the in-round interval (6.716 seconds) after the two short-time release operations in the third round game of the first to third special probability variable jackpot games, and the third round of the non-probability jackpot game The interval between rounds (6.716 seconds) between the round games of the fourth round is set to the same time. Accordingly, in the third round game (first special round game) constituting the first to third special probability variable big hit games, the short-time release operation from the start of the short-time release operation of the final round (second time) is performed. The time until the end of the later intra-round interval (6.776 seconds) is shorter than the last round (second round) in the third round game (second special round game) that constitutes the special non-probable big hit game. This time is the same as the time (6.776 seconds) from the start of the time release operation to the end of the interval between rounds after the short time release operation. Furthermore, in the round game of the third round in the first to third special probability variation jackpot games, the long-time opening operation (opening time 24.88 seconds) after the short-time opening operation of the last round (second time) with an interval in the round. ) Is set to be performed by the opening / closing member 53, and in the round game of the fourth round in the special non-probable big hit game, a full-opening round game is performed in which the opening / closing member 53 performs a long-time opening operation (opening time 25 seconds). .

  Here, the opening time of the opening / closing member 53 in the long-time opening operation in the third round game of the first to third special probability variation jackpot games, and the fourth round game (full release round in the special non-probability variation jackpot game). Although there is a slight time difference (0.12 seconds) between the opening time of the opening and closing member 53 in the long-time opening operation in the game), the time difference is hardly perceivable, and both of the specified number of pachinko balls are This is a long-time opening operation in which the opening is continued for the time that can be won, and the opening / closing member 53 does not almost always open until the end of the opening time. That is, a long-time release operation is performed in the third round game of the first to third special probability variable big hit games, or a long time release operation is performed in the fourth round game of the special non-probable big hit game. It is virtually impossible to identify whether For this reason, the opening mode of the opening and closing member 53 in the first to third rounds in the first to third special probability variation jackpot games and the opening mode of the opening and closing member 53 in the first to fourth rounds in the special non-probability variation jackpot game are apparent. It is impossible to distinguish and recognize which jackpot game is the first to third special probability variable big hit games or special non-probable big hit games. .

  And the opening-and-closing aspect of the opening-and-closing member 53 in the round game over the 1st to the 5th round in the 1st and 2nd special probability variation big hit game, and the opening and closing aspect of the opening-and-closing member 53 in the 1st to 7th round in the special non-probability big hit game Is the same as the above, and it is virtually impossible to distinguish between the first special probability variable big hit game, the second special probability variable big hit game, and the special non-probable variable big hit game. It is not possible to identify whether the game is a big hit game. Similarly, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 53 in the round game over the first to seventh rounds in the first special probability variation big hit game, and the first to ninth rounds in the special non-probability big hit game are finished, and the ending effect ED starts. The relationship between the open / close mode of the open / close member 53 and the open / close mode is substantially the same as the open / close mode in the same manner as described above, so that it is virtually impossible to distinguish them. It is not possible to identify which jackpot game is a promising jackpot game.

  In other words, in the first and second special probability variable big hit games and the special non-probable big hit games, two long open operations are set between consecutive short open operations, and the third special probability variable big hit games are set. Since the continuous short-time opening operation is set only once, on the basis of the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 53, the first to third special probability variation big hits are limited only when the long-time opening operation continues three times. Each jackpot game of the game and the special non-probability jackpot game can be distinguished and recognized. That is, when the long-time opening operation is repeated three times after the continuous short-time opening operation is repeated three times, it is recognized that the game is the first special probability variable big hit game, and the continuous short-time opening operation is repeated twice. It is understood that the game is the second special probability variable big hit game when the long-time opening operation is continued three times after the release, and the long-time opening operation is performed three times after the continuous short-time opening operation is performed once. At the time, it is understood that the game is the third special probability variable big hit game, while the ending effect ED is performed after the continuous short-time opening operation is repeated three times, and the special non-probable big hit game is recognized. The

  As described above, in the first to third special probability variable big hit games, the first special round game includes the long time release operation after the short time release operation, whereas in the special non-probability big hit game, After the opening operation, the game will move to the next round game, and then the opening operation will be performed for a long time, so it is difficult for the player to grasp the progress of the round game in the winning game, and any winning game is won Or can attract the player's interest. Moreover, the timing at which it is possible to determine which jackpot game is the first to third special probability variation jackpot game or special non-probability variation jackpot game (the timing at which the first special round game and the second special round game are performed). By providing multiple times, the player's interest can be enhanced over a long period of time without getting bored during the big hit game.

  In the first to third special probability variable big hit games and special non-probable big hit games in which the opening / closing member 53 of the second special prize winning device 50 is opened and closed, the type of jackpot is prevented from being identified from the opening operation of the opening / closing member 53. Therefore, attention can be paid to the effects performed on the symbol display device 18 and the expectation for the continuation of the round game can be enhanced. For example, in the first to third special probability variation jackpot games and the special non-probability variation jackpot game, the fighting effects of the characters A and B are configured to be performed by the symbol display device 18, and the first to third special probability variation jackpot games are shown. -As the third specific display, the effect display of "Victory of character A" is displayed at the timing when the long opening operation is performed in the round game (first special round game) in which the opening operation including the short opening operation is performed. Whether or not you can get a lot of attention. In addition, since the timing at which the first to third specific indications can be displayed is a maximum of three times, it is possible to play a game without losing interest until the end of the big hit game. Further, in the first special round game and the second special round game, since the opening / closing member 53 is set to continuously perform the opening operation for a short time, the left side portion of the frame-shaped decorative body 40 as described above. Even if the second special winning device 50 is arranged to increase the digestion speed of the big hit game, it is possible to secure time for performing the first special round game and the second special round game.

(Change example)
Note that the configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to that shown in the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made.

(1) In the embodiment, in the special round game of the special hit game (the first to third special probability variable big hit games in the embodiment), the short-time release operation is repeated twice in succession with the intra-round interval interposed therebetween. However, the configuration may be such that the opening operation is repeated for a short time at least three times with the intra-round interval interposed therebetween.
(2) In the embodiment, in the second special round game of the second special hit game (special round game in the embodiment), the short-time release operation is repeated twice continuously with the intra-round interval interposed therebetween. However, the configuration may be such that the opening operation is repeated once or more for a short period of time within the round interval.
(3) In the embodiment, in the special round game of the first special hit game (the first to third special probability variable big hit games in the embodiment), the short-time release operation is continuously performed a plurality of times with the intra-round interval interposed therebetween. Repeatedly, after the final short-time opening operation, the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) is configured to perform the opening operation for a long time across the in-round interval. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a long-time opening operation (first opening operation) and a short-time opening operation (second opening operation) are continuously repeated a plurality of times with an intra-round interval interposed therebetween, After the first opening operation or the second opening operation (short-time opening operation in FIG. 11) of the last round, the first opening operation and the second opening operation (in FIG. 11, opening for a long time) with an interval in the round. The operation may be performed by an opening / closing member (opening / closing means). That is, as the special hit game, a full opening round game and a plurality of special round games are set, and in the special round game, the first opening operation and the second opening operation with different opening times of the opening / closing members (opening / closing means) are set. The operation is set to be performed.
(4) Also, the second special round game of the second special hit game (special non-probability big hit game in the embodiment) needs to cause the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) to perform the opening operation for a short time. Rather, it is adopted from multiple types of opening operation (long-time opening operation (first opening operation) and short-time opening operation (second opening operation)) that the opening / closing means performs in a special round of special hit game. . At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the opening / closing means of the opening / closing means from the start of the round game in the first special round game until the final opening operation is performed (in FIG. 11, the third set interval in the round is The opening / closing mode until the time elapses and the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) from the start of the round game until the interval between rounds after the round game elapses in the second special round game , It can be difficult to distinguish the two.
(5) When the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) performs n times of opening / closing operation in a special round game of special hit game with an interval in the round, “opening / closing member until the nth opening in the special round game” (Opening / closing means) opening / closing mode (opening time and intra-round interval) ”and“ opening / closing mode (opening time and intra-round interval) in the second special round game in the second special hit game ” By making the “opening and closing mode including the interval between rounds after the game” the same, it is possible to make both indistinguishable in appearance. Also, “Opening time of n-th opening / closing member (opening / closing means) in special round game” and “Opening / closing in round game performed with an interval between rounds after the second special round game in the second special hit game” By making the “opening time of the member (opening / closing means)” the same, the end of the second special round game cannot be determined.
(6) The opening time of the long-time opening operation and the short-time opening operation performed by the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) is not limited to the time shown in the embodiment. That is, the opening time of the long-time opening operation and the short-time opening operation is the case where the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) performs the long-time opening operation compared to the case where the opening / closing member (opening / closing means) performs the short-time opening operation. The number of game balls that can be obtained as a prize ball in a round game can be set by increasing the probability that all the specified number of game balls determined for the round game will win and the end condition of the round game will be satisfied. Can make a difference. That is, in the embodiment, in the short-time release operation, even if it is a time during which it is substantially impossible to win a game ball in one open operation (operation from opening to closing) or an open time during which a prize can be won Although the case where the opening / closing member 53 (opening / closing means) is opened only for a time in which a predetermined number of game balls cannot be won has been shown, this is not necessarily limited to this, and the opening / closing member (opening / closing) Even if it is performed by the means), it may be possible to win a predetermined number of game balls. As a specific example, the opening time of the long-time opening operation performed by the opening / closing member is one opening operation (opening and closing) under the condition that game balls are continuously fired one by one at a predetermined interval. The time until all of the specified number of game balls determined for the round game are won and the round game end condition is satisfied (the round game end condition is not satisfied due to the elapse of the round game time) Can be set (for example, an opening time of 20 seconds or more). On the other hand, the opening time of the short opening operation performed by the opening and closing member is shorter than the opening time of the opening and closing member in the long opening operation under the condition that the game balls are continuously fired one by one at predetermined intervals. If you set a time when it is highly probable that the end condition of the round game will be satisfied by the lapse of the round game time, even if the opening / closing member performs a short-time opening operation, the specified number specified for the round game There may be a case where the end condition of the round game can be satisfied by winning all the game balls (for example, the opening time is 6 seconds).
(7) As long time opening operation (first opening operation) and short time opening operation (second opening operation) constituting the first special round game and the second special round game, as in the embodiment There is no need for one type, and a long-time opening operation (first opening operation) and a short-time opening operation (second opening operation) can be set and combined. For example, two types of opening time of 15 seconds and opening time of 20 seconds are set as a long time opening operation (first opening operation), and 0.1 seconds are opened as a short time opening operation (second opening operation). Two types of time and an opening time of 0.2 seconds may be set and combined appropriately.
(8) In the embodiment, as a winning device that opens and closes in the special hit game and the second special hit game (the first to third special probability variable big hit games and the special probability variable big hit game), the left side of the decorative member (frame-shaped decorative body) Although the second special prize device provided in the section is adopted, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be the first special prize device, and is not limited to this, and a prize placed at an arbitrary position of the game board Equipment can also be adopted
(9) In the embodiment, after the first special hit game (first to third special probability variable big hit games), the probability change state and the short time state (winning rate improvement state) are given, and the second special hit game (special non-special game). Although the probability variation state is not given after (probability big hit game), while the short time state (winning rate improvement state) is given after the big hit game is shown, the example is not limited to this. The probability variation state and the time-short state given after the special hit game and the second special hit game can be arbitrarily combined. Also, regarding the set number of the first special hit game (three of the first to third special probability variable big hit games in the embodiment) and the set number of the second special hit game (one of the special big hit games in the embodiment) However, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to those shown in the embodiments. In other words, the probability variation state may be given after the second special hit game. Also, for example, a second special hit game (special non-probability large win game) in which a short-time state (winning rate improvement state) is given after the winning game is not given, and a probable state after the winning game is finished, and If a second special hit game (fourth special probability variation big hit game) to which a short-time state (winning rate improvement state) is given is provided, the probability variation state is given after the end of the second special hit game. Whether or not there is a game can be provided, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.
(10) In the embodiment, a pachinko machine has been described as an example of the gaming machine. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine, a pinball machine, and a slot machine machine can be adopted.
