Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that shifts to a time-saving gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than a normal gaming state by winning a specific jackpot.

  Conventionally, when a game ball launched into the game area of the game board wins a specific starting port (first starting port, second starting port), a random number is acquired at the timing of starting winning by control of the main control unit. A pachinko gaming machine is widely used in which when a random number matches a predetermined winning random number, a special symbol is stopped at a symbol indicating winning and the game is shifted to a jackpot gaming state.

  In that case, it is common that the ratio of the type of jackpot that can be won at the time of starting and winning is different for each winning start. For example, there is a pachinko gaming machine that makes a lottery that makes it easier to win a jackpot that is advantageous to the player when the game ball is won at the second start port than when the game ball is won at the first start port. The jackpot that is advantageous to the player is, for example, a jackpot that a player can expect.

  In addition, when a winning of a game ball to a specific start opening is detected, there is one that stores a right of lottery drawing for the game ball as a holding ball for each start opening. Specifically, the holding ball for the start winning at the first starting port is stored as a special 1 holding ball, and the holding ball for the starting win at the second starting port is stored as a special 2 holding ball. At that time, some of the reserved balls are preferentially digested from the special 2 reserved balls that are advantageous to the player.

  In addition, when a jackpot is won, there is a game that selects one gaming state from a plurality of gaming states according to the type of the winning jackpot and shifts to the one gaming state. The plurality of game states are, for example, a normal game state, a game state with a short time that makes it easier for a game ball to win a second starting port than the normal game state. The game state with a short time is a game state in which a game ball is easily set to win in the second starting port that is advantageous to the player, and is advantageous to the player (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

JP 2010-88789 A

  However, the above-described prior art has a problem that it is not possible to secure the player's advantage in the game state with a short time.

  Specifically, in the normal gaming state in which the special 1 holding ball is memorized, when winning a specific jackpot that triggers the transition to the time-saving gaming state, from the time of transitioning to the time-saving gaming state, Until the time when the start winning for the second start port is detected, the specially held ball is digested in spite of being in the gaming state with a time saving. At this time, if the jackpot lottery for the special 1 holding ball is won, the player may win a jackpot that is disadvantageous to the player, such as a jackpot that shifts to the normal gaming state, and the player's advantage in the gaming state with a short time Could not be secured.

  In particular, in recent years, there are types of models (so-called sweet digital type and honey digital type) that have a higher probability of winning big hits than conventional models. Among these types of models, there are also those having a high-probability gaming state with a short time that is easier to win a big hit than a normal gaming state with a short time. In that case, there is a high possibility of winning a jackpot at the time of digestion of the special 1 holding ball immediately after shifting to the time-saving gaming state, and the above-described problems are more remarkable.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can ensure the player's advantage even immediately after the transition to a time-reduced gaming state in order to eliminate the above-described problems caused by the prior art.

  In order to achieve the object, a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention includes a first start port and a second start port on a game board, and a game ball that has been launched within a predetermined range (hereinafter referred to as a specific area on the game board). This is a pachinko machine that makes a jackpot lottery that is more advantageous for the player than when the start winning is detected for the first starting port when the starting winning for the second starting port is detected. A gate through which a game ball can pass, and a normal electric accessory that prevents the game ball from winning the second start port in the open state while encouraging the game ball to win the second start port in the open state And a prize winning opening that is normally closed and opened in the jackpot game is provided in the same launch area on the game board, and the game for the first start opening or the second start opening When a winning is detected, a holding storage means for storing the right of the big hit lottery for the game ball as a special 1 holding ball or a special 2 holding ball for each starting port, and a holding stored in the holding storage means A jackpot lottery means that preferentially wins a jackpot lottery from the special 2 holding balls, and a jackpot game that opens the jackpot for a predetermined time when the lottery result by the jackpot lottery means is a jackpot A normal symbol lottery means for performing a normal symbol lottery for determining whether or not to open the normal electric accessory when a game ball passes through the gate, and a normal symbol lottery unit. When the symbol lottery is performed, the normal symbol control is performed so that the normal symbol is changed with a predetermined fluctuation time and then stopped so as to indicate the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery. And a normal electric accessory control means for performing an opening control to release the normal electric accessory for a predetermined time when the winning symbol indicating that the normal symbol lottery is won by the normal symbol control means is stopped. The normal symbol lottery means determines that the normal electric accessory is in an open state with a predetermined winning probability in the normal symbol lottery, and the normal symbol control means performs a jackpot game in a short timeless gaming state. During the jackpot game, the normal symbol can be changed so that the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery corresponding to at least the reciprocal of the winning probability can be obtained. 2 When a jackpot game is played in the game state with a short time that makes it easy to start a winning at the start port, It is characterized in that the normal symbols can be changed so that more lottery results of the normal symbol lottery can be obtained than in the case of being dealt with.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect that the advantage of the player in the game state with time saving can be ensured even immediately after the transition to the game state with time reduction.

Specifically, the main control unit 201 performs a jackpot lottery (first jackpot lottery, second jackpot lottery), normal symbol lottery, game state control, and the like to control the progress of the game. For example, the main control unit 201 is realized by a main control board.

  The CPU 211 executes basic processing as the game content progresses based on various programs stored in the ROM 212 in advance. The ROM 212 stores a pending storage program, a winning lottery program, a special symbol variation program, a special winning opening control program, a game state setting program, a normal symbol lottery program, a normal symbol variation program, a normal electric accessory control program, and the like. .

  The hold storage program is a program for storing the game ball detected by the first start port SW221 as a special 1 hold ball and storing the game ball detected by the second start port SW222 as a special 2 hold ball. The winning lottery program is a program for performing a winning lottery for the special 1 holding ball and the special 2 holding ball.

  The winning lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not a big hit, and the big hit includes a long hit that can be obtained and a short win that cannot be obtained. Note that the winning lottery for the special 2 reserved ball is more likely to generate a win (long hit) that is more advantageous to the player than the winning lottery for the special 1 reserved ball. The winning lottery program is a program for performing a lottery with respect to the special 2 reserved ball preferentially over the special 1 reserved ball. The special symbol variation program is a program for varying the special symbol indicating the lottery result of the jackpot lottery.

  The big prize opening control program is a program for opening the big prize opening 109, for example, for 15 rounds with a predetermined opening time corresponding to short win or long win as one round. The long winning time is to increase the number of appearances by increasing the opening time of the big winning opening 109 for each round (for example, 30 seconds) and opening the large winning opening 109 for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds). It is a jackpot to win.

  Short win is a big hit that cannot be won by winning the winning prize opening 109 by shortening the opening time of the winning prize opening 109 per round (for example, 0.1 second) and opening the big winning opening 109 for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds). It is.

  The gaming state setting program sets the gaming state after the jackpot is set to a low probability gaming state or a high probability gaming state according to the type of jackpot, and a gaming state with time saving to which an electric chew support is added, or an electric chew support This is a program for setting a gaming state without a short time without adding. The electric chew support is a function of shortening the normal symbol variation time and lengthening the opening time of the electric tulip 107.

  The low probability gaming state is a gaming state in which a big hit is unlikely to occur. The high probability gaming state is a gaming state in which a jackpot is likely to occur about 10 times as compared to the low probability gaming state. Here, the jackpot and the gaming state after the jackpot will be described with specific examples. The jackpot is usually per long (so-called regular jackpot), per-probable length (so-called probabilistic big-bonus), normal short-term (so-called sudden jackpot), probable short-range (so-called sudden jackpot), latent short-term ( There is a so-called latent big hit).

  In the case of the normal long hit or the normal short hit, the state shifts to a low-probability gaming state with a short time (time-short gaming state) to which electric Chu support is added. In the case of the probability variation per probability variation or short probability variation short, after the jackpot, the transition to the high probability gaming state (probability variation gaming state) with a short time to which the electric Chu support is added. In the case of a short-latency win, after the big hit, the game shifts to a low-probability high-probability gaming state (latent-prone gaming state) in which a short-time game is not added.

  The normal symbol lottery program is a program for performing a normal symbol lottery to determine whether or not to open the electric tulip 107 when the passage of the game ball to the gate 108 is detected. The winning probability of the normal symbol lottery varies depending on the gaming state, and the gaming state with a short time is set higher than the gaming state without a short time. For example, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery in the gaming state with time saving is 9/10, and the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery in the gaming state without time saving is 1/10.

  The normal symbol variation program is a program that variably displays the normal symbol indicating the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery on the normal symbol display unit 113 with a predetermined variation time. The variation time of the normal symbol varies depending on the gaming state, and the gaming state with time saving is set shorter than the gaming state without time saving. For example, the variation time of the normal symbol in the gaming state with time saving is 1.5 seconds, and the variation time of the normal symbol in the gaming state without time reduction is 4.0 seconds.

  The normal electric accessory control program is a program for opening the electric tulip 107 for a predetermined time by driving the electric tulip solenoid 231 when the normal symbol lottery is won. The opening time of the electric tulip 107 differs depending on the gaming state, and the gaming state with a short time is set to be longer than the gaming state without a short time.

  The prize ball control unit 203 controls the payout unit 281 to pay out the number of prize balls at the time of winning. The payout unit 281 includes a motor for paying out a predetermined number from the game ball storage unit. Specifically, the winning ball control unit 203 applies the game balls that have won the winning units 281 to the payout unit 281 (the first starting port 105, the second starting port 106, the big winning port 109, the normal winning port 110). Control to pay out the corresponding number of prize balls.

  In addition, the prize ball control unit 203 detects the operation of launching the game ball with respect to the launch unit 282 and controls the launch of the game ball. The launching unit 282 launches a game ball for a game, and includes a sensor that detects a game operation by the player, a solenoid that launches the game ball, and the like. When the prize ball control unit 203 detects a game operation by the sensor of the launch unit 282, the game ball 103 is intermittently fired by driving a solenoid or the like in response to the detected game operation, and the game area 103 of the game board 101 is played. A game ball is sent out.

  The prize ball control unit 203 is connected to various detection units for detecting the state of the game ball to be paid out, and detects the payout state for the prize ball. These detection units include a fixed position detection SW 283, a payout ball detection SW 284, a ball presence detection SW 285, a full tank detection SW 286, and the like. For example, the prize ball control unit 203 realizes its function by a prize ball control board.

  In addition, a board external information terminal board 287 is connected to the main control unit 201, and various information executed by the main control unit 201 can be output to the outside. The prize ball control unit 203 is also connected to the frame external information terminal board 288, and various information executed by the prize ball control unit 203 can be output to the outside.

  The main control unit 201, the effect control unit 202, and the prize ball control unit 203 having the above-described configuration are provided on different printed boards (main control board, effect control board, and prize ball control board). For example, the prize ball control unit 203 can be provided on the same printed circuit board as the main control unit 201.

(Basic operation of pachinko machines)
An example of the basic operation of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Control during the game is performed by the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201, and the winning situation of the game balls for each winning opening is output to the winning ball control unit 203. Then, the winning ball control unit 203 pays out the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning situation.

  In addition, every time a game ball wins at the start openings 105 and 106, a corresponding control signal is output to the effect control unit 202, and the effect control unit 202 displays the symbols on the image display unit 104 in a variable manner and stops them. repeat. When the jackpot occurrence has been determined, a corresponding control signal is output to the effect control unit 202, and the effect control unit 202 aligns the effect symbols with a predetermined symbol and stops them. At this time, control for opening the special winning opening 109 is further performed.

  The effect control unit 202 performs various effects corresponding to the selected event. Here, the event includes, for example, a jackpot.

  For example, the effect control unit 202 performs various effects on the image display unit 104 in addition to the effect symbol variation display during the reach of the jackpot occurrence period and during the reach until the jackpot occurrence, or at the time of reach notice. Display. In addition, an effect of changing the lighting state of the effect light unit 116 and the panel lamp 264 is performed.

  For example, when a big hit occurs, the big prize opening 109 is opened a plurality of times. Fifteen rounds are repeatedly executed with one release as one round. The period of one round is a predetermined period when, for example, nine game balls are won.

  At this time, the winning ball control unit 203 pays out with, for example, 15 winning balls per winning game ball to the big winning opening 109. After the jackpot is over, the jackpot state is canceled and the game state corresponding to the winning jackpot is entered.

  Next, the game flow of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described together with main components. First, in the normal gaming state, the player aims at the first starting port 105 by performing a game to be launched in the left area or the center area of the game board 101, that is, a so-called left-handed game. When the game ball wins the first start opening 105, a big hit lottery is performed and the special symbol display unit 112 is changed.

  When the special figure 1 showing the lottery lottery result is a jackpot symbol, after a predetermined interval time has passed, a jackpot game is performed in which the number of rounds corresponding to the lottery lottery result and the big prize opening 109 are opened.

  After the jackpot is over, if the special symbol is a symbol indicating “ordinary jackpot” or “collision jackpot”, the game shifts to the short-time gaming state of 100 times. Note that 100 times corresponds to the number of times the special symbol fluctuates. In the short-time gaming state, the player makes a right turn and aims at the gate 108. When the game ball passes through the gate 108, the normal symbol display unit 113 changes.

  When the stopped normal symbol is a winning symbol, the electric tulip 107 is opened. In addition, when the stopped normal symbol is a detached symbol, the electric tulip 107 is not opened. After 100 times of the short game state, the normal game state is restored. When the game ball wins the second starting port 106 through the electric tulip 107, a big hit lottery is performed and the special figure 2 changes. Here, when it is a jackpot symbol, a jackpot game is played.

  Further, when the special symbol is a symbol indicating “probability big hit” or “probable big hit”, the game shifts to a probability variation gaming state of 10,000 times. Note that “10000 times” is a number determined for the sake of convenience so that the gaming state is not changed until the next jackpot is won. In the probable gaming state, the player plays the same game as in the short-time gaming state. In the probability variation gaming state, by winning the “normal jackpot”, the game shifts to the short-time gaming state through the jackpot game, and then shifts to the normal gaming state.

  In addition, when the special symbol is a symbol indicating “latency promising big hit”, the game proceeds to the latent promising gaming state of 10,000 times. Note that “10000 times” is a number determined for the sake of convenience so that the gaming state is not changed until the next jackpot is won. In the probable gaming state, the player plays the same game as in the short-time gaming state. In the latent game state, by winning the “normal jackpot”, the game shifts to the short-time game state through the jackpot game, and then shifts to the normal game state.

(Functional configuration of pachinko machine)
Next, the functional configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a first start port SW221, a second start port SW222, a gate SW223, a main control unit 201, a prize winning port solenoid 232, an effect control unit 202, and an image display unit. 104, a normal symbol display unit 113, and an electric tulip solenoid 231.

  The main control unit 201 includes a holding storage unit 301, a jackpot lottery unit 302, a jackpot game execution unit 303, a game state setting unit 304, and a normal control unit 305. The effect control unit 202 includes a notification unit 306.

  The pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a first start port 105 and a second start port 106 on the game board 101, and a game ball launched into a predetermined range is referred to as a specific area on the game board 101 (hereinafter referred to as “launch area”). ). Further, when a start winning for the second start opening 106 is detected, a big win lottery that is more advantageous to the player than when a start winning for the first start opening 105 is detected is performed.

  The jackpot lottery that is advantageous to the player is a jackpot lottery that makes it easy to win a jackpot that shifts to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the jackpot lottery for the game ball via the second starting port 106 shifts to a higher probability gaming state than the jackpot lottery for the game ball via the first starting port 105. It is easy to win the jackpot.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a gate 108 through which a game ball can pass, an electric tulip 107 that is a normal electric accessory, a grand prize opening 109 that is normally closed and opened in a jackpot game, Are provided in the same launch area on the game board 101. In the present embodiment, it is provided in the area on the right side of the game board 101. The electric tulip 107 prevents winning of the game ball to the second starting port 106 in the closed state, and urges winning of the gaming ball to the second starting port 106 in the opened state.

  When the storage unit 301 detects the winning of a game ball for the first start port 105 or the second start port 106, the reserve storage unit 301 gives the right to the big hit lottery for the game ball for each start port. Remember as a holding ball. Specifically, a random number acquired at the time of starting winning is stored as a holding ball.

  The jackpot lottery section 302 performs a jackpot lottery preferentially from the special two-holding balls with respect to the holding balls stored in the holding storage section 301. Performing a big hit lottery means determining whether or not the random number value stored as the holding ball is a preset random value. To win a jackpot lottery preferentially from special 2 reserved balls, when special 1 reserved balls and special 2 reserved balls are stored, the special 2 reserved balls are first digested and the special 2 reserved balls are digested. In some cases, it is to digest special 1 retaining balls.

  The jackpot game execution unit 303 performs a jackpot game that opens the jackpot 109 for a predetermined time when the lottery result by the jackpot lottery unit 302 is a jackpot. Specifically, the jackpot game is performed by controlling the jackpot solenoid 232 in accordance with the winning jackpot.

  When the jackpot game is executed by the jackpot game execution unit 303, the game state setting unit 304 has a normal game state and a game state with a time-saving that makes it easier to start and win the second starting port 106 than the normal game state. Set either one of. The normal gaming state is a gaming state in which no electric chew support is added, and is a gaming state without time saving in the present embodiment.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 108, the normal control unit 305 performs a normal symbol lottery to determine whether or not the normal electric accessory is to be opened, and the game state set by the game state setting unit 304 is set. Accordingly, variation control is performed to vary the normal symbol indicating the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery. In addition, after the variable symbol is stopped at the normal symbol indicating the winning of the normal symbol lottery, the opening control is performed to release the normal electric accessory for a predetermined time.

  To perform the normal symbol lottery, specifically, a random number is acquired when a game ball passes through the gate 108, and it is determined whether or not the acquired random number matches a preset random number value. It is. Performing the fluctuation control means changing the normal symbol on the normal symbol display unit 113. Specifically, the opening control is to control the electric tulip solenoid 231.

  In the normal game state, the normal control unit 305 has a time enough to expect the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 106 during the jackpot game with a time-saving jackpot that triggers the transition to the time-saving game state. Normal symbol lottery, variation control, and release control are performed so as to release the ordinary electric accessory.

  The time for which a winning of a game ball to the second starting port 106 during a jackpot game with a time saving can be expected is determined by the execution time of the jackpot game. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery and the normal symbol of the normal symbol lottery so that the start winning to the second starting port 106 can be expected even during the jackpot game of the short win with time (surprise big hit, sudden big hit) The fluctuation time and the opening time of the electric tulip 107 are set.

  In the present embodiment, it is set that a winning of a game ball can be expected if the electric tulip 107 is opened for 1.0 second during a short hit jackpot game. At that time, the number of times of opening is not limited to one, but may be a plurality of times of opening as long as the total opening time reaches 1.0 seconds. In other words, it is assumed that a prize can be expected for the second starting port 106 both when the opening for 1.0 second is performed once and when the opening for 0.2 seconds is performed five times.

  Since the time of jackpot game per short including the opening time and ending time is 42.5 seconds, the winning probability of normal symbol lottery is 1/10, and the variation time is 4.0 seconds. The normal symbol lottery is expected to be won once. Then, by setting the opening time of the electric tulip 107 at the time of winning the normal symbol lottery to 1.0 seconds, the present embodiment starts the second start port 106 during the jackpot jackpot game that shifts to the game state with a time saving. It is configured so that a prize can be expected.

  In addition, if the value of the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery, the variation time of the normal symbol, and the opening time of the electric tulip 107 are those that open the electric tulip 107 for 1.0 second during the short hit jackpot game. This is not a limitation. For example, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is set to 1/5 and the fluctuation time is set to 2.0 seconds, so that the normal symbol lottery is expected to be won four times in a short hit, and the electric power at the time of the normal symbol lottery winning is set. The opening time of the tulip 107 may be 0.25 seconds.

  In the present embodiment, it is set that the winning of the game ball can be expected if the electric tulip 107 is opened for 1.0 second during the jackpot game of short hits. However, it is easy to pass the game ball to the gate 108. It is set according to the characteristics of the gaming machine such as, and is not limited to this.

  The first start port 105 is provided in a launch area different from the launch area in which the gate 108, the electric tulip 107, and the special winning opening 109 are arranged. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first start port 105 is arranged in the area where the game ball flows down when left-handed, and the gate is located in the area where the game ball flows down when right-handed. 108, an electric tulip 107, and a special winning opening 109 are arranged.

  In addition, the notification unit 306 urges at least one of the gate 108 and the second starting port 106 to launch a game ball during a short hit game in which the opening time of the big winning opening 109 is shorter than that of a normal big hit game. Inform the player to that effect. Specifically, the notification is to output image data or audio data that prompts launch using the image display unit 104, the speaker 254, or the like.

  Note that the hold storage unit 301, the jackpot lottery unit 302, the jackpot game execution unit 303, the game state setting unit 304, and the normal control unit 305 are realized by the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201. That is, the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201 has a holding storage program, a winning lottery program, a big prize opening control program, a game state setting program, a normal symbol lottery program, a normal symbol variation program, and a normal electric accessory control program. Each part is realized by executing various programs such as.

  In addition, the notification unit 306 is realized by the CPU 241 of the production control unit 202a. That is, the CPU 241 of the production control unit 202a executes various programs such as a production control program and a launch notification program, thereby realizing each unit.

(Normal control processing)
Next, normal control processing executed by the main control unit 201 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the normal control processing executed by the main control unit. The normal control process is a process of interrupting and executing at predetermined intervals with respect to the main process performed by the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201.

  In the normal control process, first, it is determined whether or not a game ball has passed through the gate 108 (step S401). When the game ball has not passed through the gate 108 (step S401: No), step S401 is performed again. When the game ball passes through the gate 108 (step S401: Yes), it is determined whether or not the current game state is a game state without time saving (step S402). At this time, a jackpot game may be in progress.

  In step S402, when it is a game state without time saving (step S402: Yes), a normal symbol lottery with a winning probability of 1/10 is performed (step S403). Then, the normal symbol is changed for 4.0 seconds (step S404), and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol lottery is won (step S405). When the normal symbol lottery is not won (step S405: No), the process is ended as it is. When the normal symbol lottery is won (step S405: Yes), the electric tulip 107 is opened for 1.0 second (step S406), and the process is ended as it is.

  In step S402, if the game state is not timeless, that is, if it is a game state with time reduction (step S402: No), a normal symbol lottery with a winning probability of 9/10 is performed (step S407). Then, the normal symbol is changed for 1.5 seconds (step S408), and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol lottery is won (step S409). When the normal symbol lottery is not won (step S409: No), the process is ended as it is. When the normal symbol lottery is won (step S409: Yes), the electric tulip 107 is opened for 2.0 seconds (step S410), and the processing is ended as it is.

  As described above, the normal symbol lottery, the normal symbol variation, and the electric chew release are performed to such an extent that the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 106 can be expected even during the short hit when shifting to the game state with time saving. Thus, as a first variation of the gaming state with a time saving, a variation with respect to the special 2 reserved ball can be performed. Thereby, the advantage with respect to the player in the game state with a time-saving can be ensured.

  In the present embodiment, the normal symbol lottery, the normal symbol fluctuation, and the electric chew release are performed to such an extent that a start winning to the second starting port 106 can be expected within a short time. The jackpot is not limited to a short win if it is a jackpot that triggers the transition to the attached game state. For example, it may be set so that a start prize can be expected for the second start port 106 during a long hit.

(Special symbol processing)
Next, a special symbol process executed by the main control unit 201 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart of a special symbol process performed by the main control unit. The special symbol process is a process in which the main process executed by the main control unit 201 is interrupted at predetermined intervals.

  In the special symbol process, first, it is determined whether or not a start winning is detected (step S501). If no starting winning is detected (step S501: No), step S504 described later is performed. If a start winning is detected (step S501: Yes), the reserved ball is stored (step S502), and a reserved ball increase command indicating that the reserved ball has increased is output to the production control unit 202a (step S503). At this time, a special 1 reserved ball increase command is output when the special 1 reserved ball increases, and a special 2 reserved ball increase command is output when the special 2 reserved ball increases.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a special 2 holding ball (step S504). When there is a special 2 holding ball (step S504: Yes), a special 2 big hit lottery is performed (step S505), and it is determined whether or not it is a big win (step S506).

  In step S504, if there is no special 2 holding ball (step S504: No), it is determined whether or not there is a special 1 holding ball (step S507). If there is no special 1 holding ball (step S507: No), the process is terminated as it is. If there is a special 1 holding ball (step S507: Yes), a special 1 big hit lottery is performed (step S508), and step S506 is performed. By performing steps S503 to S508, the special 2 reserved sphere is preferentially digested over the special 1 reserved sphere.

  If it is not a big hit in step S506 (step S506: No), the process is terminated as it is. If it is a jackpot (step S506: Yes), a jackpot symbol lottery that determines the type of the jackpot won is performed (step S509). The jackpot symbol random number determination table used at that time will be described later in FIG. Thereafter, the jackpot game execution process for executing the jackpot game is performed (step S510). Details of the jackpot game execution process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After performing Step S510, it is determined whether or not the winning jackpot is a jackpot with a short time (Step S511). If it is a jackpot with a short time (Step S511: Yes), a gaming state with a short time is set (Step S512). ), The process is terminated. If it is not a jackpot with time saving (step S511: No), a gaming state without time saving is set (step S513), and the processing is ended as it is. By performing steps S511 to S513, the gaming state is set according to the type of winning jackpot.

(Big hit design random number judgment table)
Next, the jackpot symbol random number determination table will be described with reference to FIG. The jackpot symbol random number determination table is a table used in step S509 in FIG. FIG. 5-2 is an explanatory diagram of a jackpot symbol random number determination table.

  The jackpot symbol random number determination table 520 illustrated in FIG. 5B includes a type 521 and a ratio 522. The type 521 indicates the type of jackpot, and the ratio 522 indicates the selection ratio for the type 521 for each reserved ball to be digested.

  For example, when the reserve ball to be digested is a special 1 reserve ball, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a probable big hit is 75/250, and the rate 522 that the type 521 is a normal jackpot is 75/250. Further, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 25/250, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 25/250, and the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 50/250. is there.

  In addition, when the reserve ball to be digested is a special 2 reserve ball, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a probable big hit is 150/250, and the rate 522 that the type 521 is a normal big hit is 50/250. Further, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 25/250, the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 25/250, and the rate 522 that the type 521 is a big hit is 0/250. is there.

  Thereby, in this Embodiment, it is set as the structure which is easy to select the big hit and long hit which shift to a high probability game state in the special 2 reservation ball | bowl than the special 1 reservation ball | bowl. It is assumed that a lottery lottery that is more advantageous for the player is performed at the time of the start winning prize than at the time of the start winning prize to the first starting port 105.

(Big hit game execution processing)
Next, a jackpot game execution process executed by the main control unit 201 will be described with reference to FIG. The jackpot game execution process is the process shown in step S510 of FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of jackpot game execution processing executed by the main control unit.

  First of all, it is determined whether or not a short win with a short time that triggers a transition to a gaming state with a short time is determined (step S601). If a short win with a short time is won (step S601: Yes), an opening command for a short win The result is output to the production control unit 202a (step S602). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds as the opening time has elapsed (step S603). If 10 seconds as the opening time has not elapsed (step S603: No), step S603 is performed again.

  In step S603, when 10 seconds as the opening time has elapsed (step S603: Yes), the big prize opening is opened for 0.1 seconds (step S604), and the big prize opening is set to 1.5 as an interval between the big hit rounds. The second is closed (step S605). Then, it is determined whether or not the next round is the final round (step S606). If the next round is not the final round (step S606: No), step S604 is performed.

  In step S606, when the next round is the final round (step S606: Yes), the special winning opening is opened for 0.1 seconds as the final round (step S607), and an ending command is output to the production control unit 202a (step S606). S608). Then, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds as the ending time has elapsed (step S609), and when it has not elapsed (step S609: No), step S609 is performed. If 10 seconds, which is the ending time, has elapsed (step S609: Yes), the process ends.

  In step S601, if the winning jackpot is not short hit (step S601: No), it is determined whether or not the opening time of 10 seconds has passed (step S610), and the opening time of 10 seconds has passed. If not (step S610: No), step S610 is performed again.

  In step S610, when 10 seconds as the opening time has elapsed (step S610: Yes), the special prize opening is opened for 29.5 seconds (step S611), and the special prize opening is closed for 1.5 seconds as an interval (step). S612). Then, it is determined whether or not the next round is the final round (step S613). If the next round is not the final round (step S613: No), step S611 is performed.

  In step S613, when the next round is the final round (step S613: Yes), the special winning opening is opened for 29.5 seconds as the final round (step S614), and step S608 is performed.

  The opening time, the interval time, and the ending time may be set to be long enough to allow the start winning of the game ball to the second start port 106 during the short time with a short time. In that case, the advantage over the player in the time-reduced gaming state can be more strongly ensured.

(Direction control processing)
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the effect control process executed by the effect control unit 202a will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the effect control process executed by the effect control unit. The effect control process is a process of interrupting and executing at predetermined intervals with respect to the effect main process executed by the effect control unit 202a.

  In the production control process, first, it is determined whether or not a short hit opening command has been received from the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201 (step S701). If the short hit opening command has not been received (step S701: NO), step S701 is performed again. If a short hit opening command is received (step S701: YES), it is determined whether or not the game state is without time saving (step S702).

  If it is not a game state without time saving, that is, if it is a game state with time reduction (step S702: No), the process proceeds to step S701 again. If the game state is not time-saving (step S702: Yes), launch notification information is set (step S703), and an opening effect start command is output to the image / audio control unit 202b (step S704).

  After step S704, it is determined whether or not a special 2 reserved ball increase command has been received (step S705). If a special 2 reserve ball increase command has not been received (step S705: No), whether or not an ending command has been received. It is determined whether or not (step S706). If an ending command has not been received (step S706: No), step S705 is performed.

  If an ending command is received in step S706 (step S706: Yes), an ending effect start command is output to the image / sound control unit 202b (step S707), and the process is terminated. In step S705, when a special 2 reserved ball increase command is received (step S705: Yes), a special 2 reserved display increase command is output (step S708), and the process ends.

(Image / sound control processing)
Next, the image / sound control process executed by the image / sound control unit 202b will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of image / sound control processing performed by the image / sound control unit.

  First, it is determined whether or not an opening effect start command has been received (step S801), and if an opening effect start command has not been received (step S801: No), step S801 is performed again. If the opening effect start command is received (step S801: Yes), it is determined whether or not the launch notification information is included (step S802). If the launch notification information is not included (step S802: No), the step is performed. S801 is performed.

The configuration. Then, with the opening time of the electric tulip 107 to such an extent that a start winning for the second starting port 106 occurs during the jackpot game that shifts to the time-saving gaming state, the normal symbol lottery, the normal symbol variation, and the opening of the electric tulip 107 It was set as the structure which performs.

  In addition, it is assumed that a jackpot lottery that is more advantageous than the jackpot lottery for the special 1 holding ball is performed for the special 2 holding ball, and in the game state with a short time, the start winning to the second starting port 106 is generated more than the game state without a short time. The structure is easy to do.
