Here, operation | movement of the rotation valve 19 which the distribution apparatus 13 has is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 3A, in a state where the distribution member 19a of the rotary valve 19 is in contact with the protrusion 20 (hereinafter referred to as “first distribution state”), the ball enters from the entrance 13a. When the game ball has flowed down the pre-distribution flow down path 16 and down the distribution guide path 17, the game ball enters between the distribution member 19b and the distribution member 19c of the rotary valve 19. And the rotation valve 19 rotates clockwise in the front view of the pachinko gaming machine 10 by the weight of the game ball.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when the rotation valve 19 rotates clockwise, the distribution member 19b of the rotation valve 19 is in contact with the protrusion 20 (hereinafter referred to as “second distribution state”). Displace to Then, the game balls are distributed to the second distribution flow path 18b and discharged from the second discharge port 13c. Thereafter, the game ball discharged from the second discharge port 13 c enters the second start ball entering device 15. For this reason, the distribution of the game balls to the second distribution flow down path 18b by the rotary valve 19 corresponds to the distribution of the game balls that have entered the distribution device 13 to the second start ball entering device 15.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the rotary valve 19 is in the second distribution state, the game ball that has entered from the entrance 13a flows down the pre-distribution flow path 16 to guide the distribution. When flowing down to the path 17, a game ball enters between the sorting member 19 a and the sorting member 19 c in the rotary valve 19. And the rotation valve 19 rotates counterclockwise in the front view of the pachinko gaming machine 10 by the weight of the game ball.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, when the rotary valve 19 rotates counterclockwise, the rotary valve 19 is displaced to the first distribution state. Then, the game balls are distributed to the first distribution flow path 18a and discharged from the first discharge port 13b. Thereafter, the game ball discharged from the first discharge port 13 b enters the first start ball entering device 14. Therefore, the distribution of the game balls to the first distribution flow path 18 a by the rotary valve 19 corresponds to the distribution of the game balls that have entered the distribution device 13 to the first start ball entering device 14.

  As described above, when a game ball enters the sorting device 13, the game ball is alternately distributed to the first start ball entering device 14 and the second start ball entering device 15. In the present embodiment, the game balls that have entered the sorting device 13 by the rotary valve 19 and the protrusion 20 are alternately distributed to the first starting and entering device 14 and the second starting and entering device 15. The valve 19 and the protrusion 20 correspond to a sorting mechanism.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to generate a high-probability lottery state in which the winning probability of the big hit lottery is higher than usual. The high probability lottery state is continuously generated until the end condition of the high probability lottery state is satisfied. The “high probability lottery condition end condition” of the present embodiment is “the execution of the high-definition special symbol variation game ends without winning the big hit lottery after the high-probability lottery state occurs” or “ It is established by the occurrence of a big hit game between the occurrence of the high-probability lottery state and the end of execution of the high-definition special symbol variation game.

  When the high probability lottery state has not occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Further, when the high probability lottery state has occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 10, the winning probability of the small lottery does not change depending on whether or not the high probability lottery state has occurred, while the winning probability of the first small lottery and the second small lottery are different. Yes. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the winning probability of the first small hitting lottery is higher than the winning probability of the second small hitting lottery.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to generate a ball entry rate improvement state in which a probability that a game ball enters the sorting device 13 is higher than usual. By increasing the chance (number of times and time) that the sorting device 13 is in an open state per unit time, compared to when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated during the occurrence of the entrance rate improvement state, The probability that a game ball enters the sorting device 13 is increased. The entrance rate improvement state continues to occur until the end condition of the entrance rate improvement state is satisfied. In this embodiment, the “terminating condition for improving the entrance rate” is “the execution of the special symbol variation game for increasing the entrance rate without winning the jackpot lottery after the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. Or “a big hit game is generated between the occurrence of the improved entry rate state and the end of the execution of the special symbol variation game with the increased number of entry rates”.

  In the present embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state occurs, the entrance rate of the game balls to the sorting device 13 becomes higher than usual, so the first start entrance device 14 and the second start entrance The rate of entry of game balls into the ball device 15 is also higher than usual. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, it is easier to acquire the right of the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery than when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the types of jackpots that can be determined at the time of winning are different between the first jackpot lottery and the second jackpot lottery. Here, the types of jackpots that can be determined when each jackpot lottery is won will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a big hit game based on any one of four types of big hits, a 16R specific big hit, a 4R specific big hit, a 16R non-specific big hit, and a 4R non-specific big hit, is generated. . When the first big hit lottery is won, either type of big hit of 16R specific big hit, 4R specific big hit or 4R non-specific big hit is determined. When the second big hit lottery is won, either type of big hit of 16R specific big hit or 16R non-specific big hit is determined.

  In the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit and the 16R non-specific big hit, 16 open games are performed. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the 4R specific big hit and the 4R non-specific big hit, four open games are performed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the prescribed number and the prescribed time determined in one open game in the jackpot game based on all types of jackpots are set the same. Therefore, the 16R specific big hit and the 16R non-specific big hit are more advantageous types of big hits for the player because the number of open games played during the big hit game is larger than the 4R specific big hit and the 4R non-specific big hit. Therefore, the probability that the open game during the big hit game is advantageous to the player is higher when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won, and the second big hit lottery is better. It is advantageous for the player.

  After the jackpot game based on the 16R specific jackpot and the 4R specific jackpot, the high probability lottery state is generated. On the other hand, the high probability lottery state does not occur after the end of the big hit game based on the 4R non-specific big hit and the 16R non-specific big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first jackpot lottery is won, the probability that the 16R specific jackpot or 4R specific jackpot is determined, and when the second jackpot lottery is won, the probability that the 16R specific jackpot is determined, Have the same probability. Therefore, regardless of whether the first big hit lottery or the second big hit lottery is won, the degree of expectation that the high probability lottery state will occur after the big hit game ends is the same. Therefore, the probability that the high-probability lottery state will be generated is the same regardless of whether the first jackpot lottery or the second jackpot lottery is won.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit and the 16R non-specific big hit is completed, a state of improving the entrance rate is generated. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the 4R specific big hit and the 4R non-specific big hit, the entrance rate improvement state does not occur. For this reason, the 16R specific big hit and the 16R non-specific big hit are more likely to be a type of big hit for the player than the 4R specific big hit and the 4R non-specific big hit, because the increased entrance rate occurs after the big hit game ends. . Therefore, the probability of occurrence of an improved entrance rate is higher in the second big hit lottery than in the first big hit lottery, and it is more advantageous for the player to win the second big hit lottery. It becomes.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is easier to determine the type of jackpot that is more advantageous to the player when the second jackpot lottery is won than when the first jackpot lottery is won.

Next, the types of small hits will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, when a small lottery is won, any kind of small hit is determined among the first small hit, the second small hit, the third small hit, and the fourth small hit. The In the pachinko gaming machine 10, regardless of which of the first small hit lottery and the second small hit lottery, the type of the small hit is determined with the same probability. By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when winning the small lottery, the first small hit with a probability of 70%, the second small hit with a probability of 15%, the third small hit with a probability of 10%, 5 A fourth hit is determined with a probability of%.

  When a small hit game based on the first small hit to the fourth small hit is generated, the big winning device 23 is in an open state and a closed state in a predetermined manner. In the small hit game based on the first small hit to the fourth small hit, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 are set to be the same. In the small hit game based on the first small hit to the fourth small hit, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 are controlled in a predetermined manner, or in a predetermined manner. The small hit game is terminated when a predetermined number of game balls have entered the big winning device 23 before the open and closed states of the big winning device 23 are controlled.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the gaming state is not changed in response to the winning of the small hit lottery (indicated as “maintain current” in FIG. 5). Therefore, when a small hit game is generated when the high probability lottery state is being generated, the high probability lottery state is continuously generated even after the small hit game is over. In addition, when a small hit game is generated when the high probability lottery state is not generated, the high probability lottery state is not generated even after the small hit game ends. Similarly, if a small hit game is generated while the increased entrance rate state is occurring, the increased entrance rate state continues to be generated after the end of the small hit game. In addition, when a small hit game is generated when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, the entrance rate improvement state is not generated even after the end of the small hit game. The difference between the first small hit and the fourth small hit will be described later.

To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a resumes the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol variation game, resumes the execution of the first special symbol variation game, and resumes the execution of the first special symbol variation game. A first resumption command indicating that this has been done is output to the effect control CPU 31a.

  In this way, when one special symbol variation game of two types of special symbol variation games is a big hit or small hit and a hit game is generated, the execution of the other special symbol variation game is interrupted. In addition, it is possible to prevent two hit games that are generated when each special symbol variation game is a big hit or a small hit from overlapping. Furthermore, since the interrupted special symbol variation game is resumed after the winning game ends, when the winning game is generated after the resumed special symbol variation game, the winning game is surely performed from the beginning to the end. Can be born.

  The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state by managing the main high-accuracy flag and the main operation flag. Specifically, when the high probability lottery state is generated, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is being generated in the main high-accuracy flag. When the high probability lottery state is not caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is not occurring in the main high probability flag.

  Further, when causing the entrance rate improvement state to occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the main operation flag. Further, when the entry rate improvement state is not caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entry rate improvement state is not occurring in the main operation flag.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that sets the gaming state by setting various information in the main high-accuracy flag and the main operation flag functions as the gaming state setting means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that causes the entrance rate improvement state functions as the entrance rate improvement state generation means.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the first control pattern designation command and the first special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a selects a symbol combination of decorative symbols to be displayed on the first effect display device 11 in a definite stop state according to the instruction content of the command. decide.

  In addition, when the first variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a starts the variation display of the decorative symbols (symbol columns) of each column and starts the first decorative symbol variation game. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. Then, when the first control command 31a is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the first effect display device 11 to stop and display the symbol combination of the decorative symbols determined to be confirmed and stopped and to display the first ornament and symbol variation game. The display content of the first effect display device 11 is controlled so as to be terminated.

  Similarly, when the second variation pattern designation command and the second special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a displays a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second effect display device 21 in accordance with the instruction content of the command. Determine the symbol combination.

  In addition, when the second variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a starts the second decorative symbol variation game by starting the variation display of the decorative symbols (symbol columns) of each column and starting the second decorative symbol variation game. The display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled. Then, when the second end command is input, the production control CPU 31a displays the combination of the decorative symbols determined to be confirmed and stopped on the second effect display device 21, and displays the combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped. The display content of the second effect display device 21 is controlled so as to be terminated.

  When the first interruption command is input, the effect control CPU 31a performs control to interrupt execution of the first decorative symbol variation game executed by the first effect display device 11. Similarly, when the second interruption command is input, the effect control CPU 31a performs control for interrupting the execution of the second decorative symbol variation game executed by the second effect display device 21.

  In addition, when the first resumption command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the first effect display device 11 so as to resume the interrupted first decorative symbol variation game. Similarly, when the second resumption command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the second effect display device 21 so as to resume the interrupted second decorative symbol variation game.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the execution of the first special symbol variation game in the first special symbol display device 25a and the first decorative symbol variation game in the first effect display device 11 are used. An effect control CPU 31a that controls execution functions as a first game control means. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the execution of the second special symbol variation game in the second special symbol display device 25b, and the second decoration symbol variation game in the second effect display device 21 are executed. The effect control CPU 31a for controlling the function functions as second game control means.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the hit effect is executed during the occurrence of the big hit game. Further, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the hit effect during the occurrence of the small hit game.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the gaming state can be specified by managing the sub-high-accuracy flag and the sub-operation flag. Specifically, when the high-probability lottery state is generated, the production control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high-probability lottery state is occurring in the sub-high-precision flag. When the high-probability lottery state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high-probability lottery state is not occurring in the sub-high probability flag. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the secondary operation flag. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring in the secondary operation flag.

Here, the variation pattern table in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the main control ROM 30b of the present embodiment, variation pattern tables HT11, HT12, HT21, and HT22 are stored as variation pattern tables. The variation pattern tables HT11 and HT12 are variation pattern tables that are referred to when the first special symbol variation game is executed. The variation pattern tables HT21 and HT22 are variation pattern tables that are referred to when the second special symbol variation game is executed.

  In the variation pattern tables HT11 and HT12, the variation time average of the first special symbol variation game determined by referring to the variation pattern table HT12 (shown as “average variation time” in the drawing) refers to the variation pattern table HT11. The determination rate of each variation pattern is determined so as to be longer than the average variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined in this way. In the present embodiment, in the variation pattern table HT12, the determination rate of the variation pattern for the off-line effect having a short variation time is set lower than that in the variation pattern table HT11.

  In the variation pattern tables HT21 and HT22, the average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT22 is the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT21. The determination rate of each variation pattern is determined so as to be shorter than the average of the variation time. In the present embodiment, in the variation pattern table HT22, the determination rate of the variation pattern for the off-line production having a short variation time is set higher than that in the variation pattern table HT21.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is executed, the variation pattern table HT11 is mainly referred to and the variation pattern is determined. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second special symbol variation game is executed, the variation pattern table HT21 is mainly referred to and the variation pattern is determined.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a small hit game is generated, the variation pattern table to be referred to after the small hit game ends may be changed. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table to be referred to may be changed when the execution of the specified number of special symbol variation games ends.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, all combinations of the variation pattern table used when executing the first special symbol variation game and the variation pattern table used when executing the second special symbol variation game are all. There are four types. In the following description, a state in which the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT21 is referred to as a “normally determined state”, and the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table HT12 and the variation pattern table HT21. The determined state is referred to as a “first determined state”. The state in which the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT22 is referred to as a “second determination state”, and the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table HT12 and the variation pattern table HT22. This state is referred to as a “third determination state”.

  Here, based on FIG. 8, the fluctuation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game will be described. In the drawing, when the high probability lottery state is generated, it is indicated as “occurrence”, and when the high probability lottery state or the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, it is indicated as “non-occurrence”.

First, the variation pattern table that is referred to after the small hit game based on the first small hit will be described.
When the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, and the small hitting game based on the first small hitting is generated, the change pattern table to be referred is changed after the small hitting game ends. Instead, the variation pattern table that was referred to before the small hit game is still referred to (in the drawing, indicated as “maintain current state”).

  In addition, when the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated and a small hitting game based on the first small hitting is generated, 15 special symbols are played after the small hitting game ends. Until the execution of the fluctuation game is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT22 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the third determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

Next, the variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the second small hit will be described.
If the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, and a small hitting game based on the second small hitting is generated, 15 special symbol variation games will be played after the small hitting game ends. Until the execution of is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the first determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  When the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated and a small hitting game based on the second small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 15 special symbol variation games Until the execution of is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT22 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the second determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

Next, the variation pattern table that is referred to after the small hit game based on the third small hit is described.
If neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, the small hit lottery is won, and if a small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, after the small hit game ends, Until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed, the variation pattern table HT12 and the variation pattern table HT21 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the first determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  When the high probability lottery state is generated but the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, if the small hit lottery is won and a small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, the small hit game After the completion, the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT22 are referred to until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the second determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  When the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated and a small hitting game based on the third small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 30 special symbol variation games Until the execution of is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT22 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the third determination state until the execution of the 30 special symbol variation games is completed. After 30 special symbol variation games have been executed or until 30 special symbol variation games have been completed, a big hit lottery will be won and a big hit game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

Next, a variation pattern table that is referred to after the small hit game based on the fourth small hit will be described.
When neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, the small hit lottery is won, and when a small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, after the small hit game ends, Until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games ends, the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT22 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the second determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  When the high probability lottery state is generated but the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, if the small hit lottery is won and a small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, the small hit lottery game After the completion, the variation pattern table HT12 and the variation pattern table HT22 are referred to until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the first determination state until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  If the small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated and a small hitting game based on the fourth small hitting is generated, 45 special symbol variation games will be played after the small hitting game ends. Until the execution of is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT22 are referred to. That is, the variation pattern is determined in the third determination state until the execution of 45 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 45 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the 45 special symbol variation games have been completed, the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. Reference is made to the table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern after the end of the small hit game is greater when the entrance rate improvement state is generated than when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated. The table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT22 are easily referred to. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the change time (game) of the first special symbol change game after the end of the small hit game is greater than when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated. Time) tends to be long. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, after the end of the small hit game, the change time of the second special symbol change game (game) is greater than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred. Time) is likely to be shortened.

Here, based on FIGS. 9A to 9D, the relationship between the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game when the variation pattern is determined in each determination state will be described.
In FIGS. 9A to 9D, for convenience of explanation, the fluctuation time determined for the fluctuation pattern determined with reference to the fluctuation pattern table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21 are determined. In the following description, it is assumed that the variation time set in the variation pattern is the same. Further, in FIGS. 9A to 9D, for convenience of explanation, the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT12 is the variation pattern table HT11 (or variation pattern table HT21). In the following description, it is assumed that the fluctuation time is twice the fluctuation time determined in the fluctuation pattern determined with reference to FIG. In FIGS. 9A to 9D, for convenience of explanation, the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT22 is the variation pattern table HT21 (or variation pattern table HT11). It is assumed that it is half (1/2) of the variation time determined in the variation pattern determined with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the variation pattern is determined in the normal determination state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game is the same as the premise. . For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special variation game are executed at the execution rate at which the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed twice before the two first special symbol variation games are completed. Two special symbol variation games are executed.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the variation pattern is determined in the first determination state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is the variation time of the second special symbol variation game as assumed. Twice as much. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special symbol variation game are executed at the execution rate at which the execution of the four second special symbol variation games is completed until the execution of the two first special symbol variation games is completed. Two special symbol variation games are executed.

  As shown in FIG. 9C, when the variation pattern is determined in the second determination state, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is the variation time of the first special symbol variation game as assumed. It becomes half of. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special symbol variation game are executed at the execution rate at which the execution of the four second special symbol variation games is completed until the execution of the two first special symbol variation games is completed. Two special symbol variation games are executed.

  9B and 9C, since the relationship between the variation time of the first special symbol variation game and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is the same, the number of unit times (in FIG. 9, “2 The number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the first special symbol variation game is completed. However, if the relationship between the variation time of the first special symbol variation game and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is different between the first determination state and the second determination state, the first special symbol game and the second The execution rate of the special symbol variation game can be varied.

  In addition, when the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes longer and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes shorter, the unit number of times of the first special symbol variation game is executed. The number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is terminated before the variation is completed is larger than when the variation pattern is determined in the normal determination state. That is, the number of times that the second special symbol variation game, which is advantageous for the player, is executed before the unit number of times of the execution of the first special symbol variation game. Thereby, the expectation to win the second big hit lottery advantageous to the player prior to the first big hit lottery is increased.

  As shown in FIG. 9D, when the variation pattern is determined in the third determination state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is twice as long as the normal determination state, as the premise. Since the variation time of the special symbol variation game is half that of the normal determination state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is four times the variation time of the second special symbol variation game. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special symbol variation game are executed at an execution rate at which the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed eight times before the execution of the two first special symbol variation games is terminated. Two special symbol variation games are executed.

  In this way, when the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is lengthened and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shortened, the variation time of one of the two special symbol variation games is changed. The number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the unit number of times of the first special symbol variation game is terminated. This further increases the sense of expectation for winning the second jackpot lottery advantageous to the player prior to the first jackpot lottery.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The fluctuation time (game time) of the first special symbol fluctuation game is lengthened by the winning of the small hit lottery. Thereby, it is possible to increase the number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number is completed, and the advantage for the player is different. The execution ratio of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game can be changed. For this reason, the interest can be improved while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous.

  (2) The variation time (game time) of the second special symbol variation game is shortened in response to the winning of the small hit lottery. Thereby, it is possible to increase the number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number is completed, and the advantage for the player is different. The execution ratio of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game can be changed. For this reason, the interest can be improved while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous.

  (3) With the winning of the small win lottery, the variation time (game time) of the first special symbol variation game is lengthened, and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shortened. Thereby, it is possible to increase the number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the unit number of times of the first special symbol variation game is completed. The execution ratio of one special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game can be changed. For this reason, the interest can be improved while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous.

  (4) The variation pattern table (determination mode of game time) of at least one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game can be changed according to the type of small hit. Therefore, the change in the variation pattern table can be changed rather than the change in the variation pattern table triggered simply by winning the small lottery, and the game can be prevented from becoming monotonous and various It is possible to improve the interest by determining the appropriate fluctuation time.

  (5) Rather than winning a big hit lottery (first big hit lottery) triggered by entering the first start ball entering device 14 (first start ball entering means), the second start ball entering device 15 (first It is advantageous for the player to win the big hit lottery (second big hit lottery) triggered by entering the (2 start starting means). For this reason, if the number of times that the execution of the second special symbol variation game ends before the execution of the unit number of times of the first special symbol variation game ends, the first jackpot lottery is performed for the unit number of times. During this period, the number of times that the second big hit lottery is performed increases. Therefore, by changing the variation pattern table (game time determination mode), a state (advantageous situation) advantageous to the player is generated, so that the interest can be improved. In addition, the degree of attention to whether or not to win a small lottery can be further increased.

  (6) Fluctuation time of at least one special symbol variation game of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game according to the type of the small hit and the gaming state when winning the lottery lottery The change pattern table (determination mode of game time) for determining is changed. Therefore, the change of the variation pattern table is changed more than when the variation pattern table is changed by simply winning the small hit lottery, or when the variation pattern table is changed only based on the type of the small hit. It is possible to suppress the game from becoming monotonous and to improve the interest by determining various variable times.

  (7) The period in which the variation pattern table HT12 and the variation pattern table HT22 are referred to is a period until the execution of the predetermined number of special symbol variation games is completed. Therefore, if the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is lengthened or the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shortened, the ratio of the second special symbol variation game to the predetermined number of times increases. can do. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the game while paying attention to how much the second special symbol variation game occupies the predetermined number of times.

  (8) Until the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number of times is completed when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred In addition, the number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game ends tends to increase. In this way, the amount of change in the execution ratio between the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game is made different depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. As a result, when winning the small hit lottery when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring, and when winning the small hit lottery when the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring, different modes While suppressing the game from becoming monotonous, it is possible to improve the interest individually.

  In addition, since the game tends to be monotonous when the entrance rate improvement state is generally generated, the first special symbol variation game and the second game are more likely to occur when the entrance rate improvement state is generated. By increasing the amount of change in the execution rate of the special symbol variation game, it becomes easier for the player to feel the change in the execution rate. As a result, it is easy to prevent the game from becoming monotonous when the entry rate improvement state in which the game tends to be monotonous is occurring.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, 2nd Embodiment of a gaming machine is described based on FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol as 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st Embodiment, and the detailed description and drawing are abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in addition to the variation pattern tables HT11, HT12, HT21, and HT22, the variation pattern tables HT13 and HT23 are stored in the main control ROM 30b in the second embodiment. The variation pattern table HT13 is a variation pattern table referred to when the first special symbol variation game is executed, like the variation pattern tables HT11 and HT12. Similar to the variation pattern tables HT21 and HT22, the variation pattern table HT23 is a variation pattern table that is referred to when the second special symbol variation game is executed.

  In the variation pattern table HT13, the average variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT13 is the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern tables HT11 and HT12. The determination rate of each variation pattern is determined so as to be longer than the average of the variation time.

  In the variation pattern table HT23, the average variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT23 is the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the variation pattern tables HT21 and HT22. The determination rate of each variation pattern is determined so as to be shorter than the average of the variation time.

  In the following description, the variation pattern table referred to when the first special symbol variation game is executed is referred to as a “first variation pattern table”, and is referred to when the second special symbol variation game is executed. The variation pattern table is referred to as a “second variation pattern table”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special symbol variation game to be changed in the variation pattern table is varied depending on the type of the small hit lottery to be won. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first variation pattern table can be changed when the first small lottery is won. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second small lottery is won, the second variation pattern table can be changed.

Hereinafter, based on FIG. 11A, a variation pattern table that is referred to after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the first small hit lottery will be described.
First, the first variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the first small hit based on the winning of the first small hit lottery will be described.

  When the first small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated and a small hitting game based on the first small hitting is generated, the first reference to be made is made after the end of the small hitting game. The first variation pattern table that was referenced before the occurrence of the small hit game is continuously referred to without changing the variation pattern table.

  In addition, if the first small hit lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated and a small hit game based on the first small hit is generated, 15 times after the small hit game ends. Until the execution of the special symbol variation game is finished, the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

Next, the first variation pattern table that is referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the second small hit based on the winning of the first small hit lottery will be described.
If the first small hit lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, and a small hit game based on the second small hit is generated, after the small hit game ends, 15 special hits Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT12 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

  If the first small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and a small hitting game based on the second small hitting is generated, 15 special hits will be made after the small hitting game ends. Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

Next, the first variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the third small hit triggered by the winning of the first small hit lottery will be described.
When neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, the first small hit lottery is won, and when a small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, the small hit game ends. Thereafter, the variation pattern table HT12 is referred to until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

  When the high probability lottery state has occurred but the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the first small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, After the small hit game ends, the variation pattern table HT11 is referred to.

  If the first small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and a small hitting game based on the third small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 30 special games Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to. After 30 special symbol variation games have been executed or until 30 special symbol variation games have been completed, a big hit lottery will be won and a big hit game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

Next, the first variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the fourth small hit triggered by the winning of the first small hit lottery will be described.
When neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the first small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, the small hit game ends. After that, the fluctuation pattern table HT11 is referred to.

  When the high probability lottery state has occurred but the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the first small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, After the small hit game is completed, the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to until the execution of 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT11.

  If the first small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and a small hitting game based on the fourth small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 45 special Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to. After the 45 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the 45 special symbol variation games have been completed, the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. Reference is made to table HT11.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the winning of the first small hitting lottery is triggered when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred. After the small hit game is completed, the fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the fluctuation pattern table HT13 are easily referred to. In particular, when the first small lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, when the first small lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, Rather, the variation pattern table HT13 can be referred to more easily after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning. That is, after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the first small hit lottery, when the entrance rate improved state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improved state has not occurred, The variation time (game time) of the first special symbol variation game tends to be long.

In the following, based on FIG. 11 (b), a variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the second small hit lottery will be described.
First, the second variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the first small hit based on the winning of the second small hit lottery will be described.

  When the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the second small hitting lottery is won, and when the small hitting game based on the first small hitting is generated, the second reference to be made is made after the end of the small hitting game. The second variation pattern table which was referred to before the small hit game is generated is continuously referred to without changing the variation pattern table.

  In addition, when the winning ratio is increased, the second small lottery is won, and when a small hit game based on the first small hit is generated, 15 times after the small hit game ends. Until the execution of the special symbol variation game is finished, the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

Next, the second variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the second small hit based on the winning of the second small hit lottery will be described.
If the second small hit lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, and a small hit game based on the second small hit is generated, after the small hit game ends, 15 special games Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT22 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

  When the second small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, and a small hitting game based on the second small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 15 special hits Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

Next, the second variation pattern table that is referred to after the small hit game based on the third small hit based on the winning of the second small hit lottery will be described.
When neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the second small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, the small hit game ends. After that, the fluctuation pattern table HT21 is referred to.

  When the high probability lottery state has occurred but the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the second small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, After the small hit game is completed, the variation pattern table HT22 is referred to until the execution of 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

  If the second small hit lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, and a small hit game based on the third small hit is generated, 30 special games will be performed after the small hit game ends. Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to. After 30 special symbol variation games have been executed or until 30 special symbol variation games have been completed, a big hit lottery will be won and a big hit game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

Next, the second variation pattern table referred to after the end of the small hit game based on the fourth small hit triggered by the winning of the second small hit lottery will be described.
When neither the high-probability lottery state nor the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, the second small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, the small hit game ends. Thereafter, the variation pattern table HT22 is referred to until the execution of the 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

  When the high probability lottery state has occurred and the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the second small hit lottery is won, and when the small hit game based on the fourth small hit is generated, After the small hit game is completed, the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to until the execution of 15 special symbol variation games is completed. After the 15 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the completion of the 15 special symbol variation games, the big win lottery will be won and the big win game will occur. Reference is made to table HT21.

  If the second small hitting lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and a small hitting game based on the fourth small hitting is generated, after the small hitting game ends, 45 special Until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed, the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to. After the 45 special symbol variation games have been executed or until the 45 special symbol variation games have been completed, the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. Reference is made to table HT21.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the winning of the second small hitting lottery is triggered when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred. After the small hit game is completed, the variation pattern table HT22 and the variation pattern table HT23 are easily referred to. In particular, when the second small lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and when the second small lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, Rather, the variation pattern table HT23 can be referred to more easily after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning. That is, after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the second small hit lottery, when the entrance rate improved state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improved state has not occurred, The variation time (game time) of the second special symbol variation game tends to be short.

Here, based on FIGS. 12A to 12C, changes in the execution ratio of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game due to the winning of each small lottery will be described.
In FIGS. 12A to 12C, for convenience of explanation, the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT21 are determined. In the following description, it is assumed that the variation time set in the variation pattern is the same. Further, in FIGS. 12A to 12C, for convenience of explanation, the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT13 is the variation pattern table HT11 (or variation pattern table HT21). In the following description, it is assumed that the fluctuation time is three times the fluctuation time determined in the fluctuation pattern determined with reference to FIG. In FIGS. 12A to 12C, for convenience of explanation, the variation time determined for the variation pattern determined with reference to the variation pattern table HT23 is the variation pattern table HT21 (or variation pattern table HT11). It is assumed that it is one third (1/3) of the variation time determined in the variation pattern determined with reference to FIG.

  When the first variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT11 and the second variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT21, the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation are assumed as assumed. Game variation time is the same. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special symbol variation game are executed at the execution rate at which one second special symbol variation game is completed until one first special symbol variation game is completed. Two special symbol variation games are executed. In the description based on FIG. 12, a state in which the first variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT11 and the second variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT21 is referred to as an “initial stage state”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, in the initial stage state, the first variation pattern table is changed to the variation pattern table HT13 after the end of the small hitting game triggered by the winning of the first small winning lottery. Then, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is tripled. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the first special symbol variation game are executed at the execution rate at which three second special symbol variation games are completed until one first special symbol variation game is completed. Two special symbol variation games are executed. Thereby, the expectation to win the second big hit lottery advantageous to the player prior to the first big hit lottery is increased. In the description based on FIG. 12, a state in which the first variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT13 and the second variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT21 is referred to as a “first next stage state”.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, the second variation pattern table is changed to the variation pattern table HT23 after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the second small lottery in the initial stage state. Then, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes one third. For this reason, the first special symbol variation game and the second special variation game are executed at the execution rate at which execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed three times before the first special symbol variation game is completed. The special symbol variation game is executed. Thereby, the expectation to win the second big hit lottery advantageous to the player prior to the first big hit lottery is increased. In the description based on FIG. 12, a state in which the first variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT11 and the second variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to as a “second next stage state”.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the second variation pattern table is changed to the variation pattern table HT23 after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the second small lottery in the first next stage state. Then, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes 1/9 of the variation time of the first special symbol variation game. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first variation pattern table is changed to the variation pattern table HT13 after the end of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the first small lottery in the second next stage state. When changed, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes nine times the variation time of the second special symbol variation game.

  As described above, when the first variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT13 and the second variation pattern table is the variation pattern table HT23, until one execution of the first special symbol variation game is completed. Nine second special symbol variation games are executed during this period.

  As described above, when both the first small hit lottery and the second small hit lottery are won, only one of the first small hit lottery and the second small hit lottery is selected. The number of times the execution of the second special symbol variation game ends before the unit number of times of the execution of the first special symbol variation game ends. Therefore, the feeling of expectation for winning the second jackpot lottery advantageous to the player before the first jackpot lottery is further increased.

As described above in detail, this embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1), (2), and (5) of the first embodiment.
(9) The first special symbol variation game is configured to increase the variation time (game time) when the first small lottery is won. In addition, when the second small lottery is won, the variation time (game time) of the second special symbol variation game is shortened. For this reason, if one of the first small-lot lottery and the second small-lot lottery is won, the second special symbol variation until the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number of times is completed. The number of times the execution of the game can be increased, and the execution ratio of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game can be changed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous.

  Furthermore, when both the first small-lot lottery and the second small-lot lottery are won, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes long and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game Becomes shorter. For this reason, the second symbol before the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number of times is finished, compared to the case where both the first small lottery lottery and the second small bonus lottery are won. It is possible to increase the number of times the execution of the variable game is completed, and to further change the execution ratio of the first special symbol variable game and the second special symbol variable game. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous while paying attention to the type of the small lottery to be won.

  Further, since the distribution device 13 alternately grants the right for the first small lottery and the right for the second small lottery, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes long, It is possible to provide a novel gameability that an opportunity to alternately pay attention to the fact that the variation time of the second symbol variation game is shortened and to improve the interest.

  (10) If the first small symbol lottery is not won within the period in which the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is long with the first small lottery winning, the first special symbol variation It is not possible to enjoy a game at an execution rate where the variation time of the game becomes longer and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes shorter. Similarly, if the first small lottery is not won within the period when the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shortened with the winning of the second small lottery lottery, the first special symbol variation It is not possible to enjoy a game at an execution rate where the variation time of the game becomes longer and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes shorter. Therefore, after winning one of the first small lottery and the second small lottery, the degree of attention to winning the other small lottery is further increased within a predetermined period, and the game can be enjoyed. I can do it.

  (11) Since the first small symbol lottery and the second small lottery lottery are not performed in one special symbol variation game, the variation of the first special symbol variation game is performed by one special symbol variation game. As time increases, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game does not decrease. Accordingly, even if both the first small lottery drawing and the second small lottery lottery are won, the period during which the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes long and the second special symbol It is possible to create a period in which the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game is shortened. That is, if the first small lottery lottery and the second small lottery lottery are won, the execution ratio that the variation time of the first special symbol variation game becomes long and the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is short. It is possible to entertain the game with an execution rate that is as long as possible and a change rate of the first special symbol variation game that is long and a variation time of the second special symbol variation game is short.

  (12) Even when the variation pattern table HT12 is referred to in response to the winning of the first small lottery, the first is more than the variation pattern table HT12 again in response to the winning of the first small lottery. There is a case where the variation pattern table HT13 in which the variation time of the special symbol variation game becomes longer is referred to. Similarly, even if the variation pattern table HT22 is referred to when the second small hitting lottery is won, the second smaller than the fluctuation pattern table HT22 is triggered again after the second small lottery winning. There is a case where the variation pattern table HT23 in which the variation time of the special symbol variation game becomes longer is referred to. As described above, when the first small lottery lottery or the second small lottery lottery is won and then the same small lottery lottery is won again, the execution ratio may be more advantageous for the player.

  On the other hand, even if the variation pattern table HT13 is referred to in response to the winning of the first small hitting lottery, after that, the first of the variation pattern table HT13 is again triggered by the winning of the first small winning lottery. In some cases, the variation pattern tables HT11 and HT12 in which the variation time of the special symbol variation game is shortened are referred to. Similarly, even when the variation pattern table HT23 is referred to in response to the winning of the second small lottery, the second is more than the variation pattern table HT23 again in response to the winning of the second small lottery. In some cases, the variation pattern tables HT21 and HT22 in which the variation time of the special symbol variation game becomes longer are referred to. As described above, when the same small lottery is won again after winning the first small lottery or the second small lottery, the execution ratio may adversely affect the player.

  Thereby, even after winning the first small lottery lottery or the second small lottery lottery, it is possible to improve interest without reducing the degree of attention to whether or not to win the same small lottery lottery again. it can.

  (13) The variation time of the first special symbol variation game or the second special symbol variation game is not limited to the type of the small bonus lottery selected, depending on the type of the small bonus or the gaming state at the time of the small bonus lottery. The variation pattern table (game time determination mode) referred to for determination is changed. Therefore, the change of the variation pattern table can be changed rather than the change of the variation pattern table triggered by winning the first small lottery or the second small lottery, and the game is monotonous. It is possible to improve the interest by determining various variable times while suppressing the situation.

  (14) The first special symbol triggered by winning the first small hitting lottery when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred The variation time (game time) of the variation game tends to be long. In addition, the second special symbol variation is triggered when the second small hit lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, rather than when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred. Game variation time (game time) tends to be short. As described above, the variation amount of the variation time is made different depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. As a result, when a lottery lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, and when each lottery lottery is won when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, While suppressing the game from becoming monotonous in this aspect, it is possible to improve the fun of each.

  In addition, since the game tends to be monotonous when the entrance rate improvement state is generally generated, by increasing the amount of change in the variation time as the entrance rate improvement state occurs, It becomes easier for the player to feel the change in the execution ratio of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. As a result, it is easy to prevent the game from becoming monotonous when the entry rate improvement state in which the game tends to be monotonous is occurring.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the period during which the variation pattern table other than the variation pattern table HT11 and the variation pattern table HT21 is referred to is a special symbol of one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. It may be determined by the number of times the variable game is executed.

  In the above embodiment, the period in which the fluctuation pattern table other than the fluctuation pattern table HT11 and the fluctuation pattern table HT21 is referred to may be a period until the big hit game is generated or a period until the big hit lottery is won.

In the above embodiment, the type of the variation pattern table may be changed.
-In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the fluctuation | variation time of a 1st special symbol fluctuation | variation game may become short with the winning of a lottery lottery. Similarly, it may be configured such that the variation time of the second special symbol variation game becomes longer when the small win lottery is won. When configured in this way, the number of times until the execution of the second special symbol variation game is completed before the execution of the first special symbol variation game of the unit number is terminated with the winning of the small hitting lottery. Can be reduced. According to this, it is possible to change the execution ratios of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game, which have different advantages for the player. For this reason, the interest can be improved while suppressing the game from becoming monotonous. Also, if the player wins the second jackpot lottery rather than winning the first jackpot lottery, the player should enjoy the game in the hope that he will not win the jackpot lottery. Can do.

In the first embodiment, a variation pattern table may be provided for each determined state.
In the second embodiment, the second special symbol variation game is configured so that the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shortened when the first small lottery is won, and the second small lottery is won. As a trigger, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game may be increased. Thus, by having a relationship between the first small lottery and the second special symbol variation game, the second small lottery and the first special symbol variation game, it is possible to provide a novel gameplay, The interest can be improved.

  In the embodiment described above, the determination rate of the variation pattern for the offending effect with a short (or long) variation time is adjusted for each variation pattern table, and the variation time of the special symbol variation game is adjusted. Alternatively, adjustment may be made with a determination rate of a variation pattern for a short (or long) big hit effect or a variation pattern for a small hit effect. Naturally, the length of the variation time of the special symbol variation game may be adjusted by adjusting the determination rate of the variation pattern for the big hit effect, the variation pattern for the small hit effect, and the variation pattern for the outright effect. Further, the determination rate of the variation pattern for the offending effect may be the same by the variation pattern table.

  -In the above embodiment, the types of small hits that can be determined when winning are different in the first small lottery and the second small hit lottery, or the probability that various types of small hits are determined are different. May be.

  -In the above embodiment, without changing the type of variation pattern to be determined and the determination rate of various variation patterns, if the winning probability of the production lottery is adjusted, the variation time of various special symbol variation games is lengthened, It is possible to shorten it. For example, it is assumed that the variation time set for the variation pattern for the off-normal effect is shorter than the variation time set for the variation pattern for the off-specific production. In this case, if the winning probability of the first effect lottery is adjusted to be high, the probability that the variation pattern for the shift specific effect is determined when the first special symbol variation game is executed can be increased. The variation time of the special symbol variation game can be lengthened. Further, if the winning probability of the second effect lottery is adjusted to be low, the probability that the variation pattern for the normal effect is determined when the second special symbol variation game is executed can be lowered. The variation time of the special symbol variation game can be shortened.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, you may equip the 2nd starting ball-throwing apparatus 15 with the opening-and-closing member KB. In such a configuration, the opening / closing member KB provided in the sorting apparatus 13 may not be provided, or the opening / closing member KB is provided in the second starting and entering ball device 15 with the opening / closing member KB provided in the sorting apparatus 13. May be equipped. Further, when the sorting device 13 is not equipped with the opening / closing member KB, the entrance rate of the game balls to the second start entrance device 15 is higher than usual during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate state. In the embodiment described above, it is easier to determine the types of big hits (16R specific big hit, 16R non-specific big hit) that are more advantageous to the player when winning the second big hit lottery than winning the first big hit lottery. In addition, after the big hit game based on the type of big hit advantageous to the player, the entrance rate improvement state occurs, but on the other big hit (4R specific big hit, 4R non-specific big hit) other than the type of big hit advantageous to the player After the jackpot game based on the end, the state of improving the entrance rate is not generated. Therefore, in a case where the entrance rate of the game ball to the second starting entrance device 15 is higher than normal in the state where the entrance rate is improved, if the player wins the second big hit lottery, The expectation that the big hit game based on the advantageous type of big hit is continuously generated can be raised, and the interest can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 may be varied depending on the type of small hits. At this time, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 during the small hit game based on some of the small hits may be different, or the small hit game based on all types of small hits The open state and the closed state of the middle prize-winning device 23 may be varied.

In the above embodiment, the type of the variation pattern table that is referred to after the end of the small hit game may be appropriately changed based on the type of the small hit or the gaming state at the time of the small hit lottery.
In the above embodiment, the type of the variation pattern table to be referred to after the end of the small hit game may be determined according to the type of the small hit symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display devices 25a and 25b.

In the embodiment described above, the small hitting lottery may be performed only when one of the first start ball entering device 14 and the second start ball entering device 15 enters the ball.
In the above embodiment, the special symbol variation game whose variation time can be changed when the small lottery is won is only one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. Also good.

-In the said embodiment, you may change the variation pattern table to refer with having won the jackpot lottery.
-In above-mentioned embodiment, even if a big hit game is generated, you may comprise so that the variation pattern table referred before the occurrence of the big hit game may be referred continuously.

  In the above embodiment, the player may be notified that the variation pattern table to be referenced is changed. For example, the type of effect mode may be varied according to the referenced variation pattern table. For example, the type of background image displayed on the effect display devices 11 and 21, the emission color of the decoration lamp La, and the type of music output from the speaker Sp may be varied depending on the referenced variation pattern table. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the game ball that has entered the sorting device 13 may be configured to enter the first start ball entering device 14 or the second start ball input device 15 (first configuration). The game ball that has entered the sorting device 13 may be configured (second configuration) so that a case where the game ball does not enter the first start ball entering device 14 or the second start ball entering device 15 may occur. In order to realize the first configuration, for example, the interval between the first outlet 13b and the entrance 14a and the interval between the second outlet 13c and the entrance 15a are smaller than the size of the game ball. As such, various devices 13, 14, and 15 may be provided.

-In the said embodiment, the frequency | count that the big prize apparatus 23 will be in an open state in one open game may be multiple times.
-In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a high probability lottery state may not arise. Moreover, you may comprise so that the entrance rate improvement state may not arise.

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the completion | finish conditions of a high probability lottery state. For example, only the ending condition that is satisfied by the occurrence of the big hit game may be set as the ending condition of the high probability lottery state.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, you may change the end conditions of the entrance rate improvement state. For example, only the ending condition that is established by the occurrence of the big hit game may be set as the ending condition of the improved entrance rate state.

In the above embodiment, the random number used when determining the type of jackpot may be different from the random number used when determining the type of jackpot.
In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the first small lottery and the winning probability of the second small lottery may be the same probability. Also, the winning probability of the second small lottery may be higher than the winning probability of the first small lottery.

In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the big hit lottery or the winning probability of the small hit lottery may be determined so that the probability of winning the big hit lottery is lower than the probability of winning the big hit lottery.
-In the said embodiment, you may change the kind of small hits. For example, the type of the small hit may be only the second small hit and the third small hit. Further, there may be one kind of small hits.

  In the above embodiment, the types of jackpots determined in the first jackpot lottery and the second jackpot lottery may be the same. In addition, it may be configured such that there is no difference in the advantage for the player regardless of which of the first jackpot lottery and the second jackpot lottery is won.

  In the above embodiment, the probability that a high probability lottery state will occur after the end of the big hit game when winning the first big hit lottery and the high probability lottery after the end of the big hit game when winning the second big hit lottery The probability that a state will occur may be different. For example, it may be configured such that a high-probability lottery state is more likely to occur when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won.

  In the above embodiment, if the first jackpot lottery is won, the probability that a winning rate improvement state will occur after the end of the jackpot game, and if the second jackpot lottery is won, the ball enters after the jackpot game ends. The probability that the rate improvement state occurs may be the same probability.

  In the above embodiment, the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player during the jackpot game that occurs when winning the first jackpot lottery and the jackpot game that occurs when winning the second jackpot lottery The number of prize balls that can be acquired by the player may be approximately the same. “Same degree” means that the number is exactly the same, or that there is an error that the game ball cannot determine the difference in the number of prize balls.
