Description

  The present invention is a pachinko machine that displays that a random number used in the lottery for the special symbol is held during the period when the variation of the special symbol, such as during the variation of the special symbol and the winning game, is prohibited. About.

  Generally, in a pachinko machine, a lottery for a special symbol is performed based on the fact that a game ball flowing down a game area wins a start winning opening (start opening). The special symbol display device displays a special symbol based on whether the result of the lottery is a win or a loss. In the special figure display device, the special symbol is displayed in such a manner that it stops after the special symbol fluctuates. The special symbol that is stopped and displayed by the special symbol display device indicates the result of the lottery (winning or losing) for the special symbol. That is, based on the fact that the game ball has won the start winning opening, a special drawing game is performed in which a special lottery for a special symbol is performed and the result of the lottery is displayed on a special display device. Then, when the special symbol that is stopped and displayed by the special figure display device indicates a win, the attacker device performs an opening / closing operation with respect to the big prize opening, thereby providing the player with a game.

  A plurality of types of special symbols indicating winning are prepared, and it is determined by lottery which of the plurality of types of special symbols is displayed. Then, based on the special symbol determined by the lottery, the gaming state related to the special symbol after the winning game is set.

  The gaming state relating to the special symbol includes a normal state and a probability variation state. The normal state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of winning or not relating to a special symbol is set to a normal probability, and the probability variation state is the winning probability of winning or not relating to a special symbol. The gaming state is changed to a higher state than usual. These normal state and probability change state are set as the gaming state after the winning game. Some pachinko machines perform a falling lottery to determine whether or not to fall into the normal state during the probability variation state.

  In the lottery for the special design, a random number generated by periodically updating the counter value in a predetermined range is acquired, and the random number is pre-corresponding to the win or pre-corresponding to the loss. This is done by determining whether it is a thing. The number of random numbers determined to be winning in the probability variation state is set, for example, 10 times as large as the number of random numbers determined to be winning in the normal state.

  During special symbol changes and winning games, a new special figure game cannot be started, and the random number acquired in this state is set as a reserved ball random number until a new special figure game can be started. Up to the maximum number is held. The hold display device displays that the hold ball random number has been put on hold. The hold display device includes the same number of hold display areas as the upper limit number of the hold ball random numbers, and the current hold number of the hold ball random numbers is displayed according to the number of lighting of the hold display area.

  For the special figure game that digests the reserved ball random number, the prefetch determination is performed before the special figure game is started. Based on the result of the pre-reading determination, the lighting mode in the hold display area is determined from a plurality of types, and the notice of the special figure game that digests the holding ball random number by lighting in the mode, that is, the pre-reading notice is Done. Since the pre-reading determination is performed based on the gaming state at the time of executing the pre-reading determination, the gaming state at the time of executing the pre-reading determination and the gaming state at the time when the special figure game subject to the pre-reading determination is started. Different things can happen. For example, in the case where two reserved ball random numbers A and B are generated in this order during the probability change state, and a prefetch determination is made for a special figure game that digests the reserved ball random number B, Before the special figure game, the special figure game that digests the reserved ball random number A wins the hit with the fall to the normal state (so-called normal win), or the fall to the normal state by the fall lottery If it is determined, the gaming state when the prefetch determination is performed is a probable change state, but the game state falls to the normal state when the special figure game subject to the prefetch determination is started. Will be. In this case, the pre-reading notice that emphasizes the hit based on the result of the pre-reading determination was performed during the probability change state, but the special figure game that was the target of the pre-reading determination was lost because it was performed during the normal state. As a result, the pre-reading notice may betray the player's expectation and cause distrust to the player.

  The ball and ball game machine (pachinko machine) disclosed in Patent Document 1 executes a falling lottery to determine whether or not to fall into a low probability state (normal state) during a high probability state (in probability variation state). , Regarding the hold data (a special figure game that digests the hold ball random number), a pre-reading determination is made as to whether or not the result of the falling lottery is falling, and if this pre-reading determination determines a fall, the hold that was the subject of the falling lottery For the hold data stored after the data, the notice effect (pre-read notice in the hold display area) cannot be executed.

JP 2012-24130 A

  As described above, the ball game machine (pachinko machine) disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a result of the falling lottery regarding the hold data (holding ball random number) from the high probability state (probability change state) to the low probability state (normal state). If it is determined that it will fall, and if it is determined that it will fall, the pending data stored after the pending data (holding ball random number) subject to the falling lottery will be notified in advance (Pre-reading notice in the hold display area) is disabled. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pre-reading notice that gives distrust to the player when falling from the probability variation state to the normal state.

  However, even if it is decided to fall from the probability change state to the normal state, if the pre-reading notice is not performed at all in the hold display area, the fun of display in the hold display area is reduced.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is to pre-read in advance in the hold display area during the probability change state regardless of whether or not the gaming state falls from the probability change state to the normal state. It is to provide a pachinko machine that can satisfy both the performance of the game and the prevention of the player's expectation from betraying the player's expectation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the pachinko machine of the present invention is configured as follows.

  The prize ball payout device 401 is a device for paying out the prize balls to the tray 6. The number of prize balls to be paid out is associated with each of the first start winning opening 61, the second starting winning opening 62, the big winning opening 64, and the general winning opening 67 in advance. The main control processing unit 100 is based on the game ball detection signals from the first start winning port detection sensor 91, the second start winning port detection sensor 92, the big winning port detection sensor 93, and the general winning port detection sensor 94, that is, Based on the winning of game balls to each of the first starting winning opening 61, the second starting winning opening 62, the large winning opening 64 and the general winning opening 67, the number of payout of the winning balls previously associated with the winning opening is determined. The payout / firing control processing unit 400 is instructed. The payout / firing control processing unit 400 controls a payout motor (not shown) of the prize ball payout device 401 based on a command from the main control processing unit 100 to cause the prize ball payout device 401 to pay out the prize ball. The number of prize balls previously associated with the first and second start prize openings 61 and 62 is, for example, four, and the number of prize balls previously associated with the large prize opening 64 is, for example, ten. The number of prize balls associated with 67 in advance is, for example, fifteen. Note that award balls are not paid out based on the game balls passing through the gate 70.

  The game balls won in any of the first start winning opening 61, the second starting winning opening 62, the big winning opening 64, and the general winning opening 67 are discharged from the winning opening to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 and collected. The game balls that have not won a prize are discharged out of the pachinko machine 1 from the out port 68 located at the bottom of the game area 31 and collected.

  Next, the positions of the first and second start winning ports 61 and 62, the big winning port 64, and the gate 70 in the game area 31 will be described in detail.

  As described above, the first start winning opening 61 is located below the stage 56 and at the center of the game area 31 in the left-right direction. The winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 61 is such that when the game ball is left-handed, that is, the game ball flows down the portion of the game area 31 located on the left side of the decorative member 57. This is possible when fired. Basically, when a game ball is fired so as to flow down the portion of the game area 31 located on the right side of the decorative member 57 (when a right-hand hit is made). A game ball does not win the first start winning opening 61. The gate 70 is located on the right side of the decorative member 57. This gate 70 is possible when a right-handed game ball is made. Basically, when a left-handed game is made, the game ball does not pass through the gate 70. The second start winning port 62 is located below the gate 70 and below the right side of the decorative member 57. A game ball can be won at the second start winning opening 62 when a right strike is made. Basically, a game ball is won at the second start winning opening 62 when a left strike is made. do not do. The big winning opening 64 is also positioned so that a game ball can be won when a right strike is made. Basically, when a left strike is made, no gaming ball is won at the big winning opening 64. In the upper right portion on the screen 50a of the effect display device 50, there is provided a guidance display area 55 in which whether left-handed or right-handed should be performed is displayed with words and arrows.

  Next, the main control processing unit 100 will be described in detail.

  The main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not a special ball is drawn based on the winning when the game ball wins at the first start winning slot 61 and when the game ball wins at the second start winning slot 62. A special drawing lottery processing unit 110 (special drawing lottery means) for performing (special drawing lottery) is provided. As shown in FIG. 6, the special figure lottery processing unit 110 includes, as shown in FIG. 6, a special figure success / failure determination random number generator 111 (special figure success / failure determination random number generation means), Second special figure lottery sections 112a and 112b, first and second special figure low probability determination tables 116a and 116b, and first and second special figure high probability determination tables 117a and 117b are provided. These components will be described.

  The special figure success / failure determination random number generation unit 111 updates the counter value in a predetermined range (for example, an integer range of 0 to 65535) once in one clock of the clock circuit, so that it is a hardware random number. Random numbers (65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535) are generated.

  The first special figure lottery section 112a acquires the special figure success / failure random number generated by the special figure success / failure determination random number generation section 111 when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 61, and the special figure success / failure random number is obtained. Is used to perform a lottery (first special drawing lottery) relating to the first special drawing. In order to perform the first special figure lottery, the first special figure lottery unit 112a wins the first figure winning random number generated by the special figure determination random number generating unit 111 in the first start winning opening 61. At the timing, in other words, at the timing when the game ball detection signal from the first start winning opening detection sensor 91 is input to the main control processing unit 100, the first special figure determination random number acquisition unit 113a (latched) is acquired (latched). Special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition means) and the special figure success / failure random number acquired by the first special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 113a are reserved as special figure reservation sphere random numbers using the RAM of the main control processing unit 100. It is possible to hold a special figure holding ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4) within a predetermined period (during special figure fluctuation and winning game) during which new special figure fluctuation is prohibited. 1st special figure success / failure judgment It is determined whether the special figure holding ball random number held by the holding storage unit 114a (the holding storage unit for determining whether or not the special figure is appropriate) and the holding memory unit 114a for determining whether or not the first special figure is appropriate is a win or a miss. The first special figure low probability determination table 116a or the first special figure high probability determination table 117a is used to determine whether the gaming state related to the special figure is special figure low probability or special figure high probability. 1 special figure determination unit 115a (special drawing determination unit).

  Further, the first special figure lottery unit 112a holds the special figure on hold in the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a on the condition that the change of the new special figure is outside the predetermined period during which the change is prohibited. A special drawing lottery is performed by reading a ball random number. Further, the first special figure lottery unit 112a uses each of the special figure reservation ball random numbers when there are a plurality of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a. The first special drawing lottery is performed in the order of winning the game balls to the first start winning opening 61 (in order of winning), which is the trigger for holding the special figure holding ball random number.

  The first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a starts at the time of the start of a special figure game that digests the special figure reservation ball random number held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a (at the start of the fluctuation of the first special figure). Then, by determining whether or not the special figure holding ball random number is correct, the result of the second special figure lottery (winning or losing) in the special figure game is determined.

  In addition, the first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a also determines whether or not the special figure reservation ball random number is correct (hereinafter referred to as “first first success / failure look-ahead as appropriate) even at a predetermined timing before the start of the special figure game that digests the special figure reservation ball random number. Determination). Specifically, the first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a sets the new special figure reservation / sphere determination random number as the new special figure reservation / sphere determination random number at the timing when the first special figure determination / rejection determination storage unit 114a holds. The first success / failure prefetch determination is performed. Since the new special figure holding ball random number is held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, a plurality of special figure holding ball random numbers are held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a. When the new special figure reservation ball random number is held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, the first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a The first success / failure read-ahead determination is performed for all the special figure reservation sphere random numbers including the special figure reservation sphere random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a before the ball random numbers.

  Based on the fact that the new special figure holding ball random number has been reserved by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether the first special figure determination / non-use determination storage memory unit 114a has A command for designating the number of reserved figure random numbers on hold, in other words, a first figure specific figure increase command for designating the increase of the number of special figure reserved sphere random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a Is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500. In addition, the main control processing unit 100, when starting the fluctuation of the first special figure, designates the current special figure holding ball random number hold number by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, in other words, the first special figure A first special figure reservation number decrease command for designating a decrease in the number of special figure reservation sphere random numbers held by the special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114 a is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500.

  In addition, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a first success / failure prefetch command for designating a result of the first success / failure prefetch determination together with the first special figure reservation number increase command to the sub control processing unit 500. At this time, the main control processing unit 100 issues a first special figure reservation number increase command even if there are a plurality of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a. Only the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination with respect to the new special figure reservation sphere random number that triggered the transmission is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500 in the form of the first success / failure prefetch command.

  The second special figure lottery part 112b is configured in the same manner as the first special figure lottery part 112a, and the special figure success / failure random number generated by the special figure success / failure determination random number generation part 111 is used as the second start winning opening 62. The game ball is won at the time of winning the game, and the lottery for the second special figure (second special figure lottery) is performed using the special figure success / failure random number. In order to perform the second special figure lottery, the second special figure lottery part 112b has won the game ball in the second start winning opening 61 using the special figure success / failure random number generated by the special figure success / failure determination random number generator 111. At the timing, in other words, the second special figure win / fail determination random number acquisition unit 113b (latched) that is acquired (latched) at the timing when the game ball detection signal from the second start winning opening detection sensor 92 is input to the main control processing unit 100. The special figure success / failure random number acquisition means) and the second special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 113b are stored as special figure reservation sphere random numbers using the RAM of the main control processing unit 100. It is possible to hold a special figure holding ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4) within a predetermined period (during special figure change and winning game) during which new special figure changes are prohibited. 2nd special figure success / failure judgment protection Whether the special figure holding ball random number held by the storage unit 114b (the special figure determination determination hold storage means) and the second special figure determination determination hold storage unit 114b is a win or a miss The second special figure determined by referring to the second special figure low probability determination table 116b or the second special figure high probability determination table 117b depending on whether the gaming state according to the above is a special figure low probability or a special figure high probability. The figure determination unit 115b (special determination determination unit) is provided.

  The second special figure lottery unit 112b is provided with the special figure reservation ball random number held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b on the condition that the change of the new special figure is outside a predetermined period during which the change is prohibited. And draw a special drawing. In addition, when there are a plurality of special figure reservation sphere random numbers held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage section 114b, the second special figure lottery section 112b uses each of the special figure reservation sphere random numbers. The second special drawing lottery is performed in the order of winning the game balls to the second start winning opening 62 that has been a trigger for the reservation of the special figure holding ball random number (in order of winning). Note that the special figure lottery processing unit 110 is in a state where the special figure holding ball random number is held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, and the special figure lottery determination holding memory unit 114b. In the state where the figure-holding ball random number is put on hold, the second figure-specific success / failure is determined rather than digesting the special figure reservation-ball random number held by the first special figure-approaching determination storage unit 114a in the first special figure lottery. Priority is given to digesting the special figure holding ball random numbers held by the determination holding storage unit 114b by the second special figure lottery.

  The second special figure success / failure determination unit 115b starts the special figure game that digests the special figure reservation ball random number held by the second special figure determination / rejection hold storage unit 114b (when the second special figure changes start). Then, by determining whether or not the special figure holding ball random number is correct, the result of the second special figure lottery (winning or losing) in the special figure game is determined.

  In addition, the second special figure success / failure determination unit 115b also determines whether or not the special figure reservation ball random number is correct (hereinafter referred to as “second success / failure lookahead as appropriate”) at a predetermined timing before the start of the special figure game for digesting the special figure reservation ball random number. Determination). Specifically, the second special figure success / failure determination unit 115b sets the new special figure reservation / sphere determination random number to the new special figure reservation / sphere determination random number at the timing when the second special figure determination / rejection determination storage unit 114b holds. On the other hand, the second success / failure prefetch determination is performed. Since the new special figure reservation ball random number is held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b, a plurality of special figure reservation ball random numbers are held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b. When the new special figure holding ball random number is held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b, the second special figure success / failure determination unit 115b The second success / failure look-ahead determination is performed on all the special figure reservation sphere random numbers including the special figure reservation sphere random numbers that are reserved by the second special figure determination determination hold storage unit 114b before the sphere random numbers.

  Based on the fact that the new special figure holding ball random number has been reserved by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b has the current special characteristic holding / holding unit 114b. A command for designating the number of holdings of the figure holding ball random number, in other words, a second special figure holding number increasing command for designating an increase in the number of holdings of the special figure holding ball random number by the second special figure success / failure determination holding unit 114b Is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500. In addition, the main control processing unit 100, at the time of starting the variation of the second special figure, designates the current special figure holding ball random number hold number by the second special figure success / failure determination storage part 114b, in other words, the second special figure A second special figure holding number decrease command for designating a decrease in the number of holdings of the special figure holding ball random number by the special figure determination determination holding storage unit 114 b is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500.

  In addition, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a second pass / fail prefetch command for designating the result of the second pass / fail prefetch determination to the sub control processing unit 500 together with the second special figure reservation number increase command. At this time, the main control processing unit 100 issues a second special figure reservation number increase command even if there are a plurality of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage part 114b. Only the result of the second success / failure read-ahead determination for the new special figure reservation sphere random number that triggered the transmission is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500 in the form of the second success / failure prefetch command.

  The first special figure low probability determination table 116a and the first special figure high probability determination table 117a referred to at the time of the first special figure lottery are a special figure success / failure random number (a special figure holding ball random number (65536 patterns from 0 to 65535). )), And the correspondence between the winning in the first special drawing lottery and the loss, that is, the winning probability in the first special drawing lottery is defined. The second special figure low probability determination table 116b and the second special figure high probability determination table 117b referred to at the time of the second special figure lottery are special figure success / failure random numbers (65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535), It defines the correspondence between wins and loses in the 2 special drawing lottery, that is, the winning probability of winning in the 2nd special drawing lottery. The specific contents of the first special figure low probability determination table 116a, the first special figure high probability determination table 117a, the second special figure low probability determination table 116b, and the second special figure high probability determination table 117b will be described with reference to FIG. explain.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, both the first and second special figure low probability determination tables 116a and 116b correspond to the special figure success / failure random numbers “0 to 182” among the special figure success / failure random numbers “0 to 65535”. Are associated with each other and the special figure winning random number “183 to 65535” is associated with the loss. In other words, the winning probability in the first special figure lottery using the first special figure low probability determination table 116a and the winning prize in the second special figure lottery using the second special figure low probability determination table 116b Since all the probabilities are set in association with 183 special figure pass / fail random numbers from “0 to 182” out of 65536 special figure pass / fail random numbers from 0 to 65535, approximately 1 / 360 (= 183/65536).

  As shown in FIG. 7B, both the first and second special figure high probability determination tables 117a and 117b correspond to the special figure success / failure random numbers “0 to 1820” among the special figure success / failure random numbers “0 to 65535”. Are associated with the special figure random number “1821 to 65535”. In other words, the winning probability in the first special figure lottery using the first special figure high probability determination table 117a and the winning prize in the second special figure lottery using the second special figure high probability determination table 117b Since the probability is set by associating 1821 special figure pass / fail random numbers from “0 to 1820” out of 65536 special figure pass / fail random numbers from 0 to 65535, approximately 1 / 36 (= 1821/65536). That is, the winning probability of winning in the first and second special figure lottery is higher than that in the case of using the first and second special figure low probability determination tables 116a and 117a. The direction using 117a and 117b is approximately 10 times higher.

  In the above-mentioned “special figure low probability”, the first special figure lottery unit 112a performs the first special figure lottery using the first special figure low probability determination table 116a, and the second special figure lottery unit 112b performs the second The gaming state in which the second special drawing lottery is performed using the special figure low probability determination table 116b, that is, the winning probability for each of the first and second special drawing lottery is set to a normal probability (approximately 1/360). The gaming state (normal state). In addition, in the above-mentioned “special map high accuracy”, in the special map lottery processing unit 110, the first special map lottery unit 112a performs the first special map lottery using the first special map high probability determination table 117a, and The gaming state in which the second special figure lottery unit 112b performs the second special figure lottery using the second special figure high probability determination table 117b, that is, the probability that the winning prize is higher than the normal probability (approximately 1/36). It is a set gaming state (probability change state).

  The first success / failure prefetch determination or the second success / failure prefetch determination for the special figure holding ball random number is performed based on the gaming state related to the special figure at the time of the success / failure prefetch determination. For this reason, after it is determined that the winning / prefetching determination in the special figure is high and the winning state is determined to be a win, the game state is determined to be low at the start of the special figure game that digests the special figure holding ball random number that is the target of the negative / preemptive determination. In such a case, the result of the determination of success / failure performed at the start of the special figure game may be different from the result of the determination of the first success / failure prefetch or the result of the determination of the second success / failure prefetch. Specifically, in both the first and second special figure low probability determination tables 116a and 116b and the first and second special figure high probability determination tables 117a and 117b, the special figure reservation ball random number (special figure success / failure random number) “ Since the winning is associated with “0-182”, the first success / failure prefetch determination or the second success / failure prefetch determination performed for the special figure holding ball random number “0-182” during the high accuracy of the special figure is performed. Both the result and the result of the determination of success or failure at the start of a special figure game in which the special figure reservation ball random number is digested while the special figure is inaccurate are wins. On the other hand, the special figure reservation ball random numbers “183 to 1820” associated with the hits in the first and second special figure high probability determination tables 117a and 117b are the first and second special figure low probability determination tables 116a. , 116b are associated with loses, so that the result of the first or second pre-fetching determination performed for the special-pitch holding ball random number “183 to 1820” during the high-definition of the special figure is a hit. However, the result of the determination of success or failure at the start of the special figure game in which the special figure reservation ball random number is digested while the special figure is inaccurate is lost.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the main control processing unit 100 causes the special figure display device 40 to stop and display a special figure (a special figure stop symbol) from among a plurality of types of special figures based on the result of the special figure lottery. A special figure type determination processing unit 120 for selecting and determining is provided. As shown in FIG. 8, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 is a component for determining a special symbol hitting symbol, as shown in FIG. 8, a winning symbol selection random number generator 121, and a first and second per symbol winning symbol lottery unit 122a. , 122b and first and second per symbol tables 126, 127. These components will be described.

  The winning symbol selection random number generation unit 121 executes a computer program for random number generation to update the value of a counter in a predetermined range (for example, an integer range of 0 to 99), which is one loop, once every 4 milliseconds. Thus, special figure type random numbers (100 random numbers from 0 to 99), which are software random numbers, are generated. The winning symbol selection random number generator 121 restarts the count from the start value of the loop when the count of one loop is completed, but updates the start value randomly at the end of the count of one loop. The counting may be restarted.

  The first winning symbol lottery unit 122a acquires the special symbol type random number generated by the random symbol generator for winning symbol selection 121 when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening 61, and the special symbol type random number is obtained. The winning symbol is used for selecting and determining a winning symbol from a plurality of types of winning symbols (hereinafter referred to as “first winning symbol random determination”).

  An outline of specific contents of the normal variation pattern table 136 and the shortened variation pattern table 137 referred to in the first and second variation pattern lotteries will be described with reference to FIG.

  The normal variation pattern table 136 shows the first and first cases when the gaming state is low probability (special figure low probability and normal figure low probability) and latent probability (special figure high probability and normal figure low probability). This is used in the two variation pattern lottery, and the main variation time of the first special figure set on the basis of the number of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, and the second special pattern The main fluctuation time of the second special figure set based on the number of holdings of the special figure holding ball random number by the figure holding / rejection holding storage unit 114b and the reach time fluctuation time set regardless of the number of holdings are defined. Yes. The main variation time is a variation time common to the special symbol and the production symbol 53 when the reach variation of the production symbol 53 is not performed (when the reach-less loss variation is performed). This is a variation time common to the special figure and the production symbol 53 when the reach variation of the production symbol 53 is performed.

  Specifically, the normal variation pattern table 136 has a main variation of 0 to 2 on-hold for both the special figure game in which the first special figure is displayed and the special figure game in which the second special figure is displayed. The time 12.5 seconds is associated, the pending number 3 is associated with the main variation time 7 seconds, and the suspended number 4 is associated with the main variation time 4 seconds. That is, in the normal variation pattern table 136, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of holdings increases. Further, the normal variation pattern table 136 defines a reach variation time of 20 seconds to 90 seconds for any special figure game in which either the first or second special figure is displayed.

  The shortened variation pattern table 137 has first and second variations depending on whether the game state is short-time (special figure low accuracy & normal figure high accuracy) or positive change (special figure high accuracy & general figure high accuracy). Used in the pattern lottery, the main variation time of the first special figure set based on the number of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a, and the second special figure success / failure The main fluctuation time of the second special figure set based on the number of holdings of the special figure holding ball random number by the holding storage unit for determination 114b and the reach fluctuation time set regardless of the number of holdings are defined.

  Specifically, the shortened variation pattern table 137 has a main variation of 0 and 1 for both the special figure game in which the first special figure is displayed and the special figure game in which the second special figure is displayed. The time 7 seconds is associated, the hold number 2 is associated with the main fluctuation time 4 seconds, and the hold numbers 3 and 4 are associated with the main fluctuation time 2 seconds. That is, in the shortened fluctuation pattern table 137, the type of main fluctuation time is composed of a main fluctuation time shorter than the longest main fluctuation time 12.5 seconds in the normal fluctuation pattern table 136, and the main fluctuation time is the number of holdings. It is set to be shorter as the number increases. Also, the shortened variation pattern table 137 defines the reach variation time from 20 seconds to 90 seconds for any special figure game in which either the first or second special figure is displayed.

  Note that “shortening” in the table name “shortening fluctuation pattern table” indicates that the type of main fluctuation time in the shortening fluctuation pattern table 137 is shorter than the longest main fluctuation time 12.5 seconds in the normal fluctuation pattern table 136. Since the main variation time is configured, the first variation time is determined in the case where the main variation time is determined using the shortened variation pattern table 137 rather than the case where the main variation time is determined using the normal variation pattern table 136. This means that the variation time of the second special figure is shortened. The game time in which the shortened variation pattern table 137 is used is a short time (low accuracy of special figure & high accuracy of ordinary figure), and low accuracy (low accuracy of special figure & low accuracy of ordinary figure) in which the normal variation pattern table 136 is used. This means that the main variation time is shorter than the latency (high accuracy of the special figure & low accuracy of the usual figure), and that it is not the probability change (high accuracy of the special figure & high accuracy of the usual figure). .

As shown in FIG. 16, the normal drawing lottery processing unit 210 includes, as components shown in FIG. 16, a random determination generating unit 211 for determining whether or not to determine a normal drawing, a general drawing lottery unit 212, and a low probability determination for normal drawing. A table 216 and a normal high probability determination table 217 are provided.

  The random number generator 211 for determining whether or not to determine the normal figure updates the value of the counter in a predetermined range (an integer range of 0 to 65535) once in one clock of the clock circuit, similarly to the random number generator for determining whether or not to determine the special figure. As a result, a normal / unusable random number (65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535), which is a hardware random number, is generated.

  The base drawing lottery unit 212 obtains the base map correct random number generated by the base random number determination random number generator 211 based on the passing of the game ball through the gate 70, and uses the base map correct random number. Drawing lottery is performed. Specifically, the universal drawing lottery unit 212 is configured in the same manner as the first special drawing lottery unit 112a described above, and the random number generating unit 211 for determining whether or not the universal figure is determined is used as a gate. A random number acquisition unit 213 for determining whether or not the game ball is passed (a timing at which a game ball detection signal from the gate detection sensor 95 is input to the main control processing unit 100). The random number for normal / unusual determination obtained by the random number acquiring unit 213 for holding a figure is suspended using the RAM of the main control processing unit 100, and the change of the new common figure is prohibited within a predetermined period (the fluctuation of the normal figure). During the opening and closing operation of the electric tulip 63), a holding memory unit 214 for determining whether or not to determine whether or not to hold a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) of the holding numbers for the holdings of a normal figure, and a holding memory for determining whether or not to determine the normal figure Part 14 is provided with a general-purpose success / failure determination unit 215 that determines whether the normal / unusual random number held by 14 is a win or a loss with reference to the general-purpose low probability determination table 216 or the general-purpose high probability determination table 217. .

  As shown in FIG. 17, both the low-probability determination table 216 and the high-probability determination table 217 referred to in the general drawing lottery prescribe the correspondence relationship between the normal random number and the winning / losing. is there. The common figure low probability determination table 216 associates hits with the common figure failure random numbers “0 to 13107” out of the common figure failure random numbers “0 to 65535” and corresponds to the common figure failure random numbers “13108 to 65535”. By attaching, the winning probability of winning is set to about 20% (= 13108/65536). The common figure high probability determination table 217 associates hits with the common figure failure random number “0-65534” among the common figure failure random numbers “0-65535”, and associates the lost with the common figure failure random number “65535”. Therefore, the winning probability of winning is set to about 100% (= 65535/65536).

  The above-mentioned ordinary figure low probability is based on a gaming state in which the ordinary figure lottery unit 212 of the ordinary figure lottery processing unit 210 is set to perform a lottery drawing using the ordinary figure low probability determination table 216, that is, the winning probability of winning is The gaming state is set to approximately 20%. In addition, the above-mentioned general figure high probability is based on a game state in which the general figure lottery unit 212 of the general figure lottery processing unit 210 is set to perform a general drawing lottery using the general figure high probability determination table 217, that is, a winning win. A gaming state in which the probability is set to approximately 100%.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the main control processing unit 100 determines the common figure to be displayed after being stopped on the general figure display device 41 (the stop figure of the normal figure) as the winning symbol when the result of the general drawing lottery is win, When the result of the general drawing lottery is a loss, a general symbol type determination processing unit 220 that determines a lost symbol is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main control processing unit 100 includes a universal map change time determination unit 230 that determines a normal map change time, a general map display control unit 250 that controls the general map display device 41, and an electric tulip. And an electric tulip operation control unit 240 for controlling 63. I will explain these.

  At the start of the change of the normal figure, the normal figure change time determination unit 230 determines whether the game state related to the normal figure is normal, low or normal, and based on the result of this determination, It is determined so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the normal figure is shorter than the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the middle. Specifically, the normal time change time determination unit 230 determines the change time of the normal time in the low accuracy of the normal map to 30 seconds, and determines the change time of the normal time in the high accuracy of the normal time to 1 second.

  The general map display control unit 250 displays the general map based on the stoppage pattern of the general map determined by the general map type determination processing unit 220 and the variation time of the general map determined by the general map variation time determination unit 230. The device 40 is controlled. The general map display control unit 250 determines that the stop symbol of the general map is a lost symbol by the general map type determination processing unit 220, and that the variable time of the normal map is determined to be 30 seconds by the general map change time determination unit 230. If it is, the normal display is changed for 30 seconds on the general display display device 41 and then stopped at the lost pattern. In addition, the general map display control unit 250 determines that the stop symbol of the general map is a winning symbol by the general map type determination processing unit 220, and the variable time of the general map is determined to be 30 seconds by the general map change time determination unit 230. In the case where it has been done, the normal display is changed on the general display display device 41 for 30 seconds and then stopped at the winning design. In addition, the general map display control unit 250 determines that the stop symbol of the general map is a losing pattern by the general map type determination processing unit 220, and sets the fluctuation time of the general map to 1 second by the general map variation time determination unit 230. In the case where the map is displayed, the map display control unit 250 causes the map display device 41 to change the map to the second symbol after changing it for one second, and then stops the map with the lost symbol. Further, the general map display control unit 250 displays the general map when the stop signal of the normal map is determined to be the winning symbol by the general map change time determination unit 230 and the change time of the normal map is determined to be 1 second. The device 41 is caused to stop at the winning design after the normal diagram is changed for 1 second.

  The electric tulip operation control unit 240 sets the electric tulip 63 in advance at a timing when 0.5 second has elapsed after the stop of the fluctuation of the normal figure is confirmed by the winning symbol when the win is won in the normal drawing lottery. The solenoid of the electric tulip 63 is controlled so as to perform the opening / closing operation in the above manner. There are two types of opening / closing operations of the electric tulip 63: a first opening / closing mode that is normally associated with low accuracy in advance and a second opening / closing mode that is associated with high accuracy in advance. In the first opening / closing mode, the opening / closing operation of the pair of blade members of the electric tulip 63 is one time, and the opening time of the pair of blade members by the one opening / closing operation is 0.2 seconds. In the second opening / closing mode, the number of times of opening / closing of the pair of blade members is three, the interval between successive opening / closing operations is 0.8 seconds, and the opening time of the pair of blade members by one opening / closing operation Is 2.5 seconds.

  As mentioned above, the ordinary figure low probability is a gaming state in which the winning probability in the ordinary drawing lottery is set to about 20%, and the variation time of the ordinary figure in the ordinary figure low probability is 30 seconds. The mode of the opening / closing operation of the electric tulip 63 with low probability is the first opening / closing mode (opening for 0.2 seconds × 1 time). On the other hand, as described above, Tsukasa Takachi is a gaming state in which the winning probability of winning in the Tsuji drawing lottery is set to approximately 100%, and the fluctuation time of the Tsukasa Takatsu during the Tsukasa Takashi is 1 second. There is a second opening / closing mode (opening for 2.5 seconds × 3 times) as the mode of the opening / closing operation of the electric tulip 63 that is generally highly accurate. In other words, the probability of winning in the general drawing lottery and the variation of the general plan are more in the gaming state including the high figure accuracy (short time, probability change) than in the gaming state including the low figure probability (low probability, latency). Any mode of opening / closing operation of the electric tulip 63 associated with time and hit is advantageously set for the player. As a result, the gaming state including normal accuracy (time reduction, probability change) supports the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 62 by the operation of the electric tulip 63 than the gaming state including normal probability. It is in a state (hereinafter referred to as “electric support” as appropriate). The electric support is maintained for a period until the special figure game reaches a predetermined number of times, that is, the electric support number, unless it is won in the special drawing lottery.

  As described above, the latency is “special figure high accuracy & normal figure low accuracy”, but since this latency is normal figure low accuracy and the game state without electric support, the operation of the electric tulip 63 is From the state, it is a gaming state in which it is not possible to grasp whether it is a certainty change (high accuracy of special figure) or a low probability (low accuracy of special figure), that is, a gaming state in which certainty change is hidden.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the main control processing unit 100 includes a gaming state setting unit 300 that sets the gaming state after the stoppage of the special figure is confirmed and after the winning game ends.

  When the game state setting unit 300 sets the game state with high accuracy after the winning game is finished, unless the special drawing lottery wins, the number of special figure games in which the special figure high accuracy is maintained, that is, The number of STs is set (“ST” is an abbreviation for special time). As the type of the number of STs, for example, 10,000 times are prepared in advance. In addition, the gaming state setting unit 300 sets the number of STs to zero when setting the gaming state with a low probability. In the special figure high accuracy, the winning probability is about 1/36, and the winning number will be won before all 10000 ST times are digested, so the ST number is set to 10000 times The player will be maintained with high accuracy until the next win. Note that the gaming state setting unit 300 may set to maintain the special figure high accuracy until the next hit (so-called infinite probability variation) instead of setting the ST number of 10,000 times.

  In addition, when the game state setting unit 300 sets the game state with high accuracy after completion of the winning game, unless the game is won in the special drawing lottery, the number of special figure games that maintain the electric support, that is, the electric support. Set the number of times. For example, 100 times and 10,000 times are prepared in advance as the types of electric support. Further, the game state setting unit 300 sets the number of times of electric support to 0 when setting the game state to no electric support.

  The number of electric support times of 10,000 is set at the same time as the number of ST times of 10,000, and in the special figure high accuracy, the winning probability is about 1/36. Is set to 10,000 times, the player will be kept on electric support until the next big hit.

  After the winning game based on the winning symbol of the first special figure, the gaming state (ST number, electric support number) is set as shown in FIG. 10A, and the winning game based on the winning symbol of the second special figure is set. After the end of the game state, the gaming state (the number of STs, the number of electric support) is set as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, since the symbol type of the 4R normal time short symbol is a normal winning symbol, after the winning game based on the 4R normal time short symbol is ended, the gaming state according to the special symbol Is set to special figure low accuracy (normal state). Similarly, after the winning game based on the 4R normal time shortage symbol, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set to the usual figure high probability (the gaming state with the electric support). In the case where the game state at the start of special figure game (at the time of special figure lottery) where the special figure's stop symbol is decided to be 4R normal time short-lived symbol is low probability, latent probability, time shortening, probability variation, Based on the 4R normal time shortened symbol, the number of times of electric support is set to 100 times. In other words, after the winning game based on the 4R normal time shortage symbol, unless the special drawing lottery wins, the special timed game will be maintained up to 100 times in the short time (with low special figure power and electric support). become.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), since the symbol type of the 4R specified short-lived symbol is a probable per-change symbol, after the winning game based on the 4R specific short-lived symbol is over, The state is set to special figure high accuracy (probability variation state). Similarly, after the winning game based on the 4R specified short-time symbol, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set to the usual figure high probability (the gaming state with electric support). In the case where the game state at the start of the special figure game (at the time of special figure lottery) where the stop figure of the special figure is determined to be 4R specific time short possession, any of the low probability, latency, time shortening, probability change, The number of STs is set to 10000 based on the 4R specified short-time symbol, and the number of power support is set to 100. In other words, after the winning game based on the 4R specified short-time symbol, the special figure game with a certain change (with special figure high accuracy and electric support) will be maintained up to 10000 times unless a special win is won in the special drawing lottery. Then, after 100 special drawing games have been played, the special drawing game with a subtlety (special drawing high accuracy & no electric support) will be maintained up to 9900 unless winning in the special drawing lottery. It will be.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), since the symbol type of the 16R specific time short-hauled symbol is a probable per-reward symbol, the game related to the special game after the end of the hit game based on the 16R specific time short-hauled symbol. The state is set to special figure high accuracy (probability variation state). Similarly, after the winning game based on the 16R specified short-time symbol, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set to the usual figure high probability (game state with electric support). In the case where the game state at the start of special figure game (at the time of special figure lottery) where the stop figure of special figure is decided to be 16R specific time short possession pattern is low probability, latent probability, time shortening, probability variation, The number of STs is set to 10000 based on the 16R specific short-time symbol, and the number of power support is set to 10,000. In other words, after the winning game based on the 16R specified short-time symbol, the probability change (with special figure high accuracy & electric support) will be maintained up to 10,000 times unless a win is won in the special figure lottery.

As shown in FIG. 10 (b), since the symbol type of the 2R normal time short no symbol is a normal winning symbol, after the winning game based on the 2R normal time short no symbol is completed, the gaming state related to the special figure is special low. Set to certain (normal state). Similarly, after the winning game based on the 2R normal time short no symbol is completed, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set to the usual figure low probability (the gaming state without electric support). In other words, after the winning game based on the 2R normal time short no symbol, the low probability (special low probability and no electric support) is started, as shown in FIG. 10B, the symbol type of the 2R specific short short symbol Is a probability variation winning symbol, and after the winning game based on the 2R specific short time no symbol, the gaming state related to the special diagram is set to a special symbol high probability (probability variation state). Similarly, after the winning game based on the 2R specific time short no symbol is finished, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set to the usual figure low probability (the gaming state without electric support). When the special symbol game starts at the time of the start of the special figure game (at the time of the second special figure lottery), the stop state of the second special figure is determined to be 2R specific time short no design any of low probability, latency, short time, probability change In this case, the number of STs set based on the 2R specific timeless symbol is 10,000. In other words, after the winning game based on the 2R specified short-lived symbols, unless the special drawing lottery is won, the special figure game with the latent probability (Special drawing high accuracy & no electric support) will be maintained up to 10,000 times. become.

  As can be seen from the description of the hit symbol using FIG. 10, the types of hit symbols of the special symbol include 4R normal time short-symbol symbols and 2R normal short-time short symbols which are normal hit symbols. In the state), a special symbol lottery will be won and the special symbol stop symbol will be determined to be a normal winning symbol. When the stop symbol is determined as the normal winning symbol, the gaming state related to the special symbol falls to the special symbol low probability (normal state) after the winning game based on the normal winning symbol is completed.

  Note that the gaming state setting unit 300 maintains a low probability (the special figure low probability and the common figure low probability) of the special figure in the winning game and the gaming state related to the normal figure.

  As described above, the special symbol winning symbol is determined by lottery drawing of the first and second special symbols in the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, and the winning game is ended based on the special symbol winning symbol. The gaming state (normal state or probability variation state) relating to the later special figure is determined as shown in FIG. As can be seen from the above, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 that determines the winning symbol corresponds to the gaming state lottery means in the present invention. In the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, the random symbol generator for winning symbol selection 121, 1, the second per symbol selection random number acquisition unit 123a123b, the first per second per symbol selection storage unit 124a. 124b, the first and second per symbol selection units 125a and 125b are respectively a game state determination random number generation means, a game state determination random number acquisition means, a game state determination means, and a game state determination hold storage means in the present invention. It corresponds to. Further, the special figure type random numbers used in the first and second per symbol drawing lottery correspond to the gaming state random numbers in the present invention, and the first and second special symbol type pre-reading judgment for determining the type of the winning symbol is a game in the present invention. This corresponds to state prefetch determination.

  The main control processing unit 100 sends a gaming state command for designating a gaming state by the gaming state setting unit 300 when the first special figure starts to change, when the second special figure starts to change, after the hit game ends, It is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500 when the stop of the figure is confirmed or when the stop of the second special figure is confirmed.

  The main control processing unit 100 has been described in detail so far. Next, details of the sub control processing unit 500 shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control processing unit 500 includes an effect control processing unit 510 that controls the effect display device 50 and an audio control processing unit 580 that controls the speakers 8 and 9.

  As described above, the screen 50a of the effect display device 50 is provided with the first and second reserved display areas 51a to 51d and 52a to 52d, and these first and second reserved display areas 51a to 51d and 52a. The effect control processing unit 510 controls the effect display device 50 including the display at -52d. That is, the effect control processing unit 510 and the effect display device 50 constitute a hold display unit in the present invention.

  The effect control processing unit 510 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The effect control processing unit 510 includes a hold display control unit 530 that controls display in the first and second hold display areas 51a to 51d and 52a to 52d. The hold display control unit 530 controls the effect display device 50 to increase the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d based on the first special figure hold number increase command, and based on the first special figure hold decrease command. The effect display device 50 is controlled so that the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d decreases. In addition, the hold display control unit 530 controls the effect display device 50 so that the number of lighting in the second hold display areas 52a to 52d increases based on the second special figure hold number increase command, and the second special figure hold decrease command. Based on this, the effect display device 50 is controlled so that the number of lighting in the second hold display areas 52a to 52d decreases.

  Specifically, when an increase in the number of holdings is designated by the first special figure holding number increase command, the leftmost of the first holding display areas 51a to 51d that are turned off lights up. The display control unit 530 controls the effect display device 50, and when the decrease in the number of reservations is designated by the first special figure reservation number decrease command, the leftmost one among the lighted ones of the first reservation display areas 51a to 51d. After the lights are turned off, the hold display control unit 530 controls the effect display device 50 so that the lighting related to the remaining special figure holding ball random numbers slides by one to the left. Similarly, when an increase in the number of holdings is designated by the second special figure holding number increase command, the holding display control is performed so that the leftmost one of the second holding display areas 52a to 52d is turned on. The unit 530 controls the effect display device 50, and when the decrease in the number of reservations is designated by the second special figure reservation number decrease command, the leftmost one of the on-holding display regions 52a to 52d is turned off. After that, the hold display control unit 530 controls the effect display device 50 so that the lighting related to the remaining special figure reservation ball random numbers slides by one to the left.

  In addition, the effect control processing unit 510 changes the lighting mode in the first and second hold display areas 51a to 51d and 52a to 52d, that is, the hold display mode, to a plurality of types of hold display modes (the above-described normal hold icon Nm, A hold display mode determination unit 520 (hold display mode determination means) is provided that selects and determines from among three types of intense hot hold icons Ti and chance hold icons (see FIG. 21). The hold display mode determination unit 520 performs a hold display mode lottery for selection of the hold display mode, and as a component for performing the hold display mode lottery, a hold display mode selection random number generator 521 and The hold display mode selection random number acquisition unit 522, the hold display mode selection unit 523, and the hold display mode table 524 are provided.

  The random number generation unit 521 for selecting a hold display mode updates the counter value in a predetermined range (for example, an integer range of 0 to 99) that is one loop, once every 4 milliseconds by executing a computer program for generating random numbers. By doing so, a pending display mode random number (100 random numbers from 0 to 99) which is a software random number is generated. The random number generator 521 for holding display mode selection restarts the count from the start value of the loop when the count of one loop is completed, but updates the start value at random every time the count of the loop is completed. Then, the counting may be resumed.

  The hold display mode selection random number acquisition unit 522 receives the hold display mode random number generated by the hold display mode selection random number generation unit 521 and the timing at which the first special figure hold number increase command is received by the sub-control processing unit 500. Similarly, it is obtained (latched) at the timing when the second special figure hold number increase command is received by the sub-control processing unit 500.

  The hold display mode selection unit 523 refers to the hold display mode table 524 based on the hold display mode random number acquired by the hold display mode selection random number acquisition unit 522, and sets the hold display mode from a plurality of types of hold display modes. That is, it is selected from the above-described three types of hold display modes. As described above, the three types of hold display modes are the normal hold icon Nm, the chance hold icon Ch, and the intense hot hold icon Ti (see FIG. 21). The normal holding icon Nm is a single-color circular image, and simply indicates the presence of a special figure holding ball random number that does not suggest winning in the special drawing lottery or that the fluctuation pattern is determined to reach fluctuation. . The chance hold icon Ch is an image of a bomb, and suggests that the fluctuation pattern is determined to reach fluctuation. The intense hot hold icon Ti is an image of a tiger's face, and suggests that a win will be won in a special drawing lottery. The normal hold icon Nm, the chance hold icon Ch, and the intense hot hold icon Ti correspond to the normal hold display mode, the first special hold display mode, and the second special hold display mode in the present invention, respectively.

  The hold display mode table 524 defines the correspondence between the hold display mode random numbers (100 random numbers from 0 to 99) and the hold display mode, and as shown in FIG. , A table 524-2 at the time of losing with pre-reading reach and a table 524-3 at the time of losing without pre-reading reach.

  In the prefetching hit table 524-1, the results of the first success / failure prefetch determination designated by the first success / failure prefetch command and the results of the second success / failure prefetch judgment designated by the second success / failure prefetch command are hit. Is used in the hold display mode lottery. The prefetch hitting time table 524-1 associates the normal display icon Nm with the hold display mode random number “0 to 4” among the hold display mode random numbers “0 to 99”, and holds the hold display mode random number “5 to 55”. ”Is associated with the intense hot hold icon Ti, and the hold display mode random number“ 70 to 99 ”is associated with the chance hold icon Ch. Thereby, in the hold display mode lottery performed when the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is win and when the result of the second pass / fail prefetch determination is win, the selection probability of the normal hold icon Nm is defined as 5%. In addition, the selection probability of the intense reservation icon Ti is defined as 65%, and the selection probability of the chance reservation icon Ch is defined as 30%. That is, when the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is win and when the result of the second pass / fail prefetch determination is win, the normal hold icon Nm is determined to be the hold display mode with the lowest probability, and The hold display icon Ti is determined to be the hold display mode with a higher probability than any of the chance hold icons Ch. Therefore, when any one of the first and second hold display areas 51a to 51d and 52a to 52d is lit with the intense hot hold icon Ti, the winning in the special lottery is more than that when the chance hold icon Ch is lit. A pre-reading notice that strongly suggests winning will be held, and the player will be pre-fetched in advance with the intense holding icon Ti rather than a pre-reading notice that suggests reach fluctuations with the chance hold icon Ch, You will be expected to win.

  The pre-read reach lost table 524-2 indicates that the result of the first pass / fail read determination specified by the first pass / fail pre-read command is a loss, and the first variation pattern pre-read determination specified by the first change pattern pre-read command. And the result of the second variation pattern prefetching specified by the second variation pattern prefetching command is the case where the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination designated by the second success / failure prefetching command is a loss. This is used in the hold display mode lottery when the result of the determination is a change with reach. In the table 524-2 for losing with pre-read reach, the normal hold icon Nm is associated with the hold display mode random number “0 to 4” among the hold display mode random numbers “0 to 99”, and the hold display mode random number “5”. Is associated with the intense hot hold icon Ti, and the hold display mode random number “6 to 99” is associated with the chance hold icon Ch. As a result, the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination is a reach variation, the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, and the second variation In the hold display mode lottery performed when the result of the pattern prefetch determination is a reach fluctuation, the selection probability of the normal hold icon Nm is defined as 5%, and the selection probability of the intense hot hold icon Ti is defined as 1%. The selection probability of the chance hold icon Ch is defined as 94%. That is, the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination is a reach variation, the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, and the second variation pattern If the result of the prefetch determination is reach fluctuation, the normal hold icon Nm and the intense hot hold icon Ti may be determined as the hold display mode, but the chance hold icon Ch is determined as the hold display mode. Is mainly done.

  In the pre-read reach no-losing table 524-3, the first variation pattern pre-reading determination specified by the first variation pattern pre-reading command is a result of losing the result of the first determination of pre-correction pre-fetching designated by the first pre-necessity / non-prefetching command. When the result of the determination is a reach-less loss variation, and the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination specified by the second success / failure prefetch command is a loss, and the second variation pattern prefetching designated by the second variation pattern prefetch command This is used in the hold display mode lottery when the result of the determination is a reach-less loss variation. In the table 524-3 at the time of no pre-read reach, the normal hold icon Nm is associated with the hold display mode random number “0 to 94” out of the hold display mode random numbers “0 to 99”, and the hold display mode random number “95”. ~ 99 "is associated with the chance hold icon Ch, and the intense hot hold icon Ti is not associated with any hold display mode random number. As a result, the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination is a reach-less loss variation, the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, and the first In the hold display mode lottery performed when the result of the two-variation pattern prefetch determination is a reach-less variation, the selection probability of the normal hold icon Nm is defined as 95%, and the selection probability of the intense hot hold icon Ti is It is defined as 0%, and the selection probability of the chance hold icon Ch is defined as 5%. That is, the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination is a reach-less loss variation, the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination is a loss, and the second When the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is a change without reach fluctuation, the chance hold icon Ch is likely to be determined as the hold display mode, but the normal hold icon Nm is mainly determined as the hold display mode. The intense hot hold icon Ti is not determined as the hold display mode.

  Then, when the hold display mode lottery is performed in a state in which special figure low accuracy (low accuracy or short time) is specified by the game state command, the hold display mode determination unit 520 holds the hold display selected in the hold display mode lottery. The mode (the normal hold icon Nm, the intense hot hold icon Ti, or the chance hold icon Ch) is fixed to the hold display mode to be displayed this time.

  In addition, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is designated with a special figure high probability (latency probability or probability change) by a game state command and designated by a first special figure hold number increase command or a second special figure hold increase command. Even when the hold display mode lottery is performed in a state where the number of holds is only one, the hold display mode (normal hold icon Nm, hard-at-hold hold icon Ti or chance hold icon Ch) selected in the hold display mode lottery is displayed. Then, the hold display mode to be displayed this time is fixed.

  In addition, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is designated with a special figure high probability (latency probability or probability change) by a game state command and designated by a first special figure hold number increase command or a second special figure hold increase command. When the hold display mode lottery is performed in a state where the number of holds is 2 or more, and the hold display mode selected in the hold display mode lottery is the normal hold icon Nm or the chance hold icon Ch, The normal hold icon Nm or the chance hold icon Ch is fixed to the hold display mode to be displayed this time, but if the hold display mode selected in the hold display mode lottery is the intense hot hold icon Ti, the fall hold described later Make a determination, and depending on the result of the fall hold determination, confirm the hold display mode to display the intense hot hold icon Ti this time, Or determined to hold the display mode to display this time to change the icon Ti to chance Hold icon Ch.

  As illustrated in FIG. 18, the hold display mode determination unit 520 includes a fall hold determination unit 525 that performs fall hold determination. The “falling hold determination” is a special hold that is held by the first special figure success / failure hold storage unit 114a before the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti during the subtlety and the probability change. Determining whether or not the special figure game that digests the figure holding ball random number will fall to a special figure low probability (normal state), and digesting the special figure holding ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon The special figure game that digests the special figure holding ball random number held in the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b before the special figure game falls to a special figure low probability (normal state). It is to determine whether or not.

  Specifically, the fall hold determination unit 525 performs the fall hold determination in the following “(1-1)” to “(2-2)”.

(1-1) When a new special figure holding ball random number is held by the first special figure holding / determining holding storage unit 114a, the first special figure holding ball random number is determined from before the new special figure holding ball random number. In the case where there is one or more special figure holding ball random numbers held by the holding storage unit 114a, as a holding display mode related to the new special figure holding ball random number, the hot display holding icon Ti by the holding display mode lottery In the fall hold determination when is selected, the special figure type random number held by the first per symbol selection hold storage unit 124a before the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti When the result of the first special figure type look-ahead determination with respect to the symbol includes a normal winning symbol, the fall hold determination unit 525 digests the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. Determines to tumble special symbol low probability (normal state) before the game is determined, i.e. there tumble Hold and. Here, “falling hold” means a special figure holding ball random number in which a special figure game in which the first special figure stops at a normal winning symbol is performed. In addition, the normal winning symbol of the 1st special figure is a 4R normal time shortened symbol.

(1-2) In the fall hold determination in the same case as “(1-1)”, the first hit symbol selection hold storage unit 124a before the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. If the result of the first special figure type look-ahead determination for the special figure type random number that is held does not include the normal winning symbol, the fall hold determination unit 525 displays the special figure hold ball related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. Prior to the special figure game that digests the random numbers, it is determined that the special figure is not likely to fall (normal state), that is, there is no fall hold. Here, the case where the normal winning symbol is not included in the result of the first special figure type pre-reading determination means that the result of the first special figure type pre-reading determination is only the lost symbol, the case of only the probability changing symbol, This is a case of a symbol and a lost symbol. Note that the symbols per probability variation of the first special figure are the 4R specific short-time symbol and the 16R specific short-time symbol.

(2-1) When a new special figure holding ball random number is held by the second special figure holding / determining holding storage unit 114b, the new special figure holding ball random number is used for the second special figure holding / nondetermining determination from before the new special figure holding ball random number. In the case where there is one or more special figure holding ball random numbers held by the holding storage unit 114b, as a holding display mode related to the new special figure holding ball random number, the hot display holding icon Ti by the holding display mode lottery In the fall hold determination when is selected, the special figure type random number held by the second per symbol selection hold storage unit 124b before the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti When the result of the second special figure type look-ahead determination with respect to the symbol includes a normal winning symbol, the fall hold determination unit 525 digests the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. Determines to tumble special symbol low probability (normal state) before the game is determined, i.e. there tumble Hold and. Here, “with falling hold” means a special figure holding ball random number in which a special figure game in which the second special figure stops at a normal winning symbol is performed. In addition, the normal winning symbol of the second special figure is a 4R normal time short-lived symbol and a 2R normal time short-lived symbol.

(2-2) In the fall hold determination in the same case as “(2-1)”, the second hit symbol selection hold storage unit 124b before the special figure hold ball random number related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. If the result of the second special figure type look-ahead determination for the special figure type random number that is held does not include a normal winning symbol, the fall hold determination unit 525 displays the special figure hold ball related to the selection of the intense hot hold icon Ti. Prior to the special figure game that digests the random numbers, it is determined that the special figure is not likely to fall (normal state), that is, there is no fall hold. Here, the case where the normal winning symbol is not included in the result of the second special symbol type prefetch determination means that the result of the second special symbol type prefetch determination is only the lost symbol, the case of only the probability variable symbol, This is a case of a symbol and a lost symbol. In addition, the symbol per probability change of the first special figure is a 4R specified short time symbol, a 2R specific short time symbol, and a 16R specific short time symbol.

  When the result of the fall hold determination by the fall hold determination unit 525 is “falling”, the hold display mode determination unit 520 displays the intense hot hold icon Ti selected in the hold display mode lottery as the chance hold icon Ch. And a hold display mode changing unit 526 for determining the hold display mode to be displayed this time. When the result of the fall hold determination by the fall hold determination unit 525 is “no fall hold”, the hold display mode change unit 526 does not change the chance hold icon Ch, and the hold display mode determination unit 520 The hold icon Ti is fixed to the hold display mode for displaying this time.

  The hold display mode determination unit 520 performs a probability change hold display mode determination process shown in FIG. In the probability change hold display mode determination process, a new special figure holding ball random number is stored in the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a during the latent probability (in the probability variation state) and in the probability change (in the probability variation state). When the number of the special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a becomes plural, the new special figure reservation ball random number becomes the second special figure determination determination hold storage unit. 114b, and when the number of the special figure holding ball random numbers held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b becomes plural. This probability change hold display mode determination process will be described by taking as an example a case where the number of hold of the special figure hold ball random number by the second special figure success / failure determination hold storage unit 114b increases from two to three.

  In the state where the number of reserved special ball holding ball random numbers held by the second special figure determination determination holding storage unit 114b is two, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, for example, the second holding display area 52a˜ It is assumed that the second hold display areas 52a and 52b of 52d are both in a state of being lit with the normal hold icon Nm. In this state, when the third special figure holding ball random number is held by the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b, the main control processing unit 100 uses the second special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114b. Along with the second special figure holding number increase command that specifies that the number of special figure holding ball random numbers held increased to three, as a prefetching command, the second winning / failing prefetching relating to a game that digests the third special figure holding ball random number Command, second variation pattern prefetch command, second special figure type prefetch command for special figure game for digesting first special figure reservation ball random number, and special figure for digesting second special figure reservation ball random number The second special figure type prefetch command related to the game is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500. Then, when the sub-control processing unit 500 receives the second special figure hold increase command and the prefetch command, the hold display mode determination unit 520 starts the hold display mode determination process during probability change.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the probability change hold display mode determination process, the hold display mode determination unit 520 first performs a hold display mode lottery based on at least one of the second success / failure prefetch command and the second variation pattern prefetch command. The hold display mode is selected from the normal hold icon Nm, the intense hot hold icon Ti, and the chance hold icon Ch (step S31). That is, in the hold display mode determination unit 520, the hold display mode selection random number acquisition unit 522 acquires the hold display mode random number generated by the hold display mode selection random number generation unit 521, and holds display based on the hold display mode random number The mode selection unit 523 refers to the hold display mode table 524 (see FIG. 19) and selects the hold display mode from the normal hold icon Nm, the intense hot hold icon Ti, and the chance hold icon Ch.

  At this time, when the result of the second success / failure prefetch determination specified by the second success / failure prefetch command is correct, the hold display mode selection unit 523 refers to the prefetch per hit time table 524-1 of the hold mode hold display mode table 524. Then, the hold display mode is selected. In addition, the result of the second pass / fail prefetch determination specified by the second pass / fail prefetch command is a loss, and the result of the second change pattern prefetch determination specified by the second change pattern prefetch command is a reach variation with reach. In this case, the hold display mode selection unit 523 selects the hold display mode with reference to the pre-read reach with loss table 524-2 of the hold mode hold display mode table 524. In addition, the result of the second pass / fail pre-read determination specified by the second pass / fail pre-read command is a loss, and the result of the second change pattern pre-read determination specified by the second change pattern pre-read command is a reach-less change. In this case, the hold display mode selection unit 523 selects the hold display mode with reference to the look-ahead reach no-losing table 524-3 of the hold mode hold display mode table 524.

  When the normal hold icon Nm is selected in step S31 (“normal” in step S32), the hold display mode determination unit 520 determines the normal hold icon as the current hold display mode (step S33). Further, when the chance hold icon Ch is selected in step S31 (in the case of “chance” in step S32), the hold display mode determination unit 520 determines the chance hold icon Ch as the current hold display mode (step S34).

  On the other hand, when the intense hot hold icon Ti is selected in step S31 (in the case of “hard hot” in step S32), the fall hold determining unit 525 of the hold display mode determining unit 520 makes a fall hold determination (step S35). That is, the fall hold determination unit 525 indicates that the result of the second special figure type prefetch determination specified by the second special figure type prefetch command related to the special figure game that digests the first special figure reservation ball random number is the normal winning symbol. Otherwise, if the result of the second special figure type prefetch determination specified by the second special figure type prefetch command for the special figure game that digests the second special figure reservation ball random number is also not a normal winning symbol, A determination result “none” is obtained (No in step S36).

  In addition, the result of the second special figure type prefetch determination specified by the second special figure type prefetch command related to the special figure game for digesting the first special figure reserved ball random number and the second special figure reservation ball random number If one or both of the results of the second special figure type prefetch determination specified by the second special figure type prefetching command relating to the special figure game that digests the game is a normal winning symbol, “with fall hold” Is obtained (Yes in step S36).

  When the determination result “no fall hold” is obtained in step S35 (No in step S36), the hold display mode determination unit 520 determines the hold display mode to be displayed this time as the intense hot hold icon Ti (step S35). S37). Thus, a pre-reading notice that strongly suggests a hit in the second hold display area 52c is performed.

  On the other hand, when the determination result “There is a fall hold” is obtained in Step S35 (Yes in Step S36), the hold display mode determination unit 520 changes the hold display mode to be displayed this time to the chance hold icon Ch ( In step S38, the hold display mode is determined to display the chance hold icon Ch this time (step S34). As a result, a pre-reading notice that suggests a hit that is weaker than the intense hot hold icon Ti in the second hold display area 52c, in other words, a prefetching notice that the player has a lower expectation of winning than the hard hot hold icon Ti is performed. It will be.

  By performing the routine from step S35 described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, the chance hold icon Ch and the intense hot hold icon Ti are displayed for the third special figure hold ball random number. In FIG. 21, “non-falling hold” means a special figure holding ball random number that is not a fall holding, and “winning holding” means a special figure holding ball random number determined to be a win in the second success / failure look-ahead determination. Means. As shown in FIG. 21 (a), when the pre-reading notice is performed in a state where there is no fall hold, the chance hold icon Ch and the intense hot hold icon Ti may be displayed. As shown in 21 (b), when the pre-reading notice is performed in a state where there is a fall hold, the display is limited to the display of the chance hold icon Ch.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the effect control processing unit 510 includes an effect symbol variation pattern determination unit 540. The effect pattern variation pattern determination unit 540 stores in advance the correspondence between the first variation pattern command and the variation pattern of the effect symbol 53 and the correspondence between the second variation pattern command and the variation pattern of the effect symbol 53. Therefore, the variation pattern of the effect symbol 53 having a correspondence relationship with the first variation pattern command or the second variation pattern command is determined as the variation pattern of the effect symbol 53 of this time. For example, when the first variation pattern command specifies a variation pattern of a combination of a normal reach and a variation time of 20 seconds, the variation pattern determining unit 540 for the production symbol varies the production symbol 53 with the variation pattern. Let

  As shown in FIG. 18, the effect control processing unit 510 includes an effect symbol type determining unit 550. The effect symbol type determination unit 550 stores in advance the correspondence between the first and second special symbol type commands and the stop symbol of the effect symbol 53, and the first special symbol type command stops the first special symbol. When the symbol is specified, and when the stop symbol of the second special symbol is specified by the second special symbol type command, the stop symbol of the effect symbol 53 corresponding to the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed as the current effect. The stop symbol of the symbol 53 is determined. Specifically, the effect symbol type determination unit 550 determines that the 4R normal time short symbol and the 4R specific time short symbol are specified by the first special symbol type command, and the 4R normal time short symbol by the second special symbol type command. When the 4R specified short-time symbol is specified and the stop symbol of the production symbol 53 is determined to be “222”, and the 2R normal time short symbol and the 2R specific short-time symbol are specified by the second special figure type command The stop symbol of the production symbol 53 is determined to be “888”, and the 16R specific short time symbol is designated by the first special figure type command, and the 16R specific short time symbol is designated by the second special figure type command. When the stop symbol of the production symbol 53 is determined to be “777” and the loss symbol is designated by the first special symbol type command, and the second special symbol type command is lost. The stop symbol of performance symbol 53 to determine the symbol other than repdigit when symbol is specified. In addition, when the reach variation with reach is designated by the first variation pattern command and when the reach variation with reach is designated by the second variation pattern command, the effect symbol type determination unit 550 The reach number of the numbers included in the stop-off eye is determined as the stop symbol of the production symbol 53.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the effect control processing unit 510 includes an effect display control unit 560. The effect display control unit 560 stops the effect symbol 53 at the stop symbol determined by the effect symbol type determination unit 550 after the effect symbol 53 varies with the variation pattern determined by the effect symbol variation pattern determination unit 540. The effect display device 50 is controlled.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the routine game processing shown in FIG. 22 and FIG. 23 is performed when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 61 and when a game ball wins the second start pay opening 62. . This game process will be described with reference to an example of a process related to winning a game ball in the first start winning opening 61.

  First, when the main control processing unit 100 detects a winning of a game ball to the first starting winning port 61 based on the presence or absence of a gaming ball detection signal from the first starting winning port detection sensor 91 (YES in step S1), In the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, the first special symbol success / failure determination random number obtaining unit 113a obtains the special special symbol success / failure random number, and in the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, the first per symbol selection random number obtaining unit 123a obtains the special figure type random number. In the variation pattern lottery processing unit 130, the first variation pattern determination random number acquisition unit 133a acquires a variation pattern random number (step S2). At this time, if the number of reserved special ball holding ball random numbers by the first special figure success / failure determination holding 114a is 3 or less (Yes in step S3), the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 performs the first special drawing lottery processing unit 110. The figure winning / refusing determination storage unit 114a holds the special figure winning / refusing random number acquired in step S2 as a special figure holding ball random number. In the special figure type determination processing unit 120, the first winning symbol selection holding storage unit 124a The special figure type random number obtained in step S2 is held in association with the special figure success / failure random number (special figure holding ball random number) obtained at the same timing, and the fluctuation pattern lottery processing unit 130 determines the first fluctuation pattern. The holding storage unit 134a holds the fluctuation pattern random number acquired in step S2 in association with the special figure success / failure random number (1 special figure holding ball random number) acquired at the same timing as this ( Step S4).

  Next, the special figure lottery processing section 110 performs a pre-emption determination process (step S5). That is, in the special figure lottery processing section 110, the first special figure success / failure determination section 115a is a hit with respect to the latest special figure reservation ball random number held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage section 114a in step S4. The determination whether the current game state is a special figure low probability is performed with reference to the first special figure low probability determination table 116a, and the current game state is a special figure high probability. This is performed with reference to the first special figure high probability determination table 117a. The first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a determines that the special figure reservation ball random number is held by the first special figure determination / failure determination storage unit 114a before the latest special figure reservation ball random number in step S4. Then, the pre-fetch determination is performed for all the special figure reservation sphere random numbers including the latest special figure reservation sphere random numbers (step S5).

  Next, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 holds the special figure reservation sphere random number by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a before the latest special figure reservation sphere random number is held in step S4. If so, special figure type prefetch determination processing is performed (step S6). That is, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 performs the first special figure type read-ahead determination for the special figure game that digests the special figure reservation ball random numbers that are reserved before the latest special figure reservation ball random numbers. At the time of the first special figure type prefetch determination, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 determines whether or not the stop symbol of the first special figure is determined to be a lost symbol or a winning symbol in step S5. The determination is made based on the result of the pre-reading determination, and the first winning symbol selection unit 125a determines what the winning symbol of the first special symbol is determined based on the special symbol type random number.

  Next, the variation pattern lottery processing unit 130 performs variation pattern prefetch determination processing (step S7). That is, in the variation pattern lottery processing unit 130, the first variation pattern determination unit 135a performs the first variation pattern random number stored in the first variation pattern determination storage unit 134a in step S4 in the first step S5. The first variation pattern prefetch determination is performed based on the result of the preemption determination and the gaming state at the time of the first preemption determination (any one of low probability, latency, short time, and probability change).

  The main control processing unit 100 designates the result of the first unacceptable prefetch determination in step S5 together with the first special figure reservation number increase command for specifying one increase in the number of reservations to the sub control processing unit 500. Pre / fail prefetch command, first special figure type prefetch command for designating the result of the first special figure type prefetch determination at step S6, and first variation pattern prefetching for designating the result of the first variation pattern prefetch process at step S7 Send commands. Based on these commands, the effect control processing unit 510 in the sub-control processing unit 500 performs a holding number increase display process (step S8). In other words, in the effect control processing unit 510, the hold display mode determination unit 520 determines the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination and the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination obtained during the low probability of the special figure (during the low accuracy or short time). When the hold display mode lottery is performed based on the above, the normal hold icon Nm, the intense hot hold icon Ti or the chance hold icon Ch selected in the hold display mode lottery is fixed to the hold display mode to be displayed this time, and the hold display The hold display control unit 530 displays the mode on the effect display device 50 to increase the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d by one.

  Further, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is obtained during the special drawing high accuracy (latency accuracy and during accuracy change) in a state in which the number of reservations specified by the first special figure reservation number increase command is only one. When the hold display mode lottery is performed based on the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination and the result of the first variation pattern prefetch determination, the normal hold icon Nm, the intense hot hold icon Ti, or the chance hold icon selected in the hold display mode lottery Ch is determined as the hold display mode to be displayed this time, and the hold display control unit 530 displays the hold display mode on the effect display device 50 to increase the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d by one.

  In addition, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is obtained during the special drawing high accuracy (latency accuracy and during accuracy change) in a state where the number of reservations specified by the first special figure reservation number increase command is 2 or more. The hold display mode lottery is performed based on the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination and the result of the second variation pattern prefetch determination, and the hold display mode selected in the hold display mode lottery is the normal hold icon Nm or the chance hold In the case of the icon Ch, the normal hold icon Nm or the chance hold icon Ch is fixed to the hold display mode to be displayed at this time (see “S31 → S32 → S33 or S34” in FIG. 20), and the hold display mode is held on display. The control unit 530 causes the effect display device 50 to display and increases the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d by one.

  In addition, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is obtained during the special drawing high accuracy (latency accuracy and during accuracy change) in a state where the number of reservations specified by the first special figure reservation number increase command is 2 or more. When the hold display mode lottery is performed based on the result of the first success / failure prefetch determination and the result of the second variation pattern prefetch determination, the hold display mode selected in the lottery display mode lottery is the intense hot hold icon Ti. In the event of a fall fall hold determination, the intense display hold icon Ti is determined to be the display of the hold display that is displayed this time, or the display of the suspension display that is displayed this time by changing the intense hot hold icon Ti to the chance hold icon Ch (See “S31 → S32 → S35 → S36 → S37” or “S31 → S32 → S35 → S36 → S38 → S34” in FIG. 20) The hold display control unit 530 aspects be displayed on the effect display device 50, thereby lighting number is incremented one in the first hold display area 51 a to 51 d.

  When winning in the first start winning opening 61 is not detected in step S1 (No in step S1), the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step S9. Further, in step S3, when the number of reserved special ball holding ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a is not 3 or less, that is, when the upper limit number is 4, the main control process Unit 100 advances the routine to step S9. Further, after the pending number increase display process in step S8, the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step S9. In step S9, the main control process 100 determines whether or not the special figure and the production symbol 53 are changing as a determination as to whether or not the present time is within a predetermined period in which the change of the new special figure is prohibited ( Step S9). If the result of this determination is that the special graphic and the effect symbol 53 are not changing (No in step S9), the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step 10. In step S10, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not a winning game is in progress as a determination as to whether or not the current time is within a predetermined period during which a new special figure change is prohibited (step S10). If the result of this determination is that there is no winning game (No in step S10), the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step S11.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the special figure and the effect symbol are changing (No in step S9), the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step S18. If it is determined in step S10 that the game is a winning game (No in step S10), the main control processing unit 100 advances the routine to step S22.

  In step S11, the special figure lottery processing unit 110 determines whether or not the special figure holding ball random number is held in the first special figure win / reject determination holding storage unit 114a. When the random number is suspended (Yes in step S11), the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 advances the routine to step S12. On the other hand, when the special figure holding ball random number is not held (No in step S11), the special figure lottery processing unit 110 ends the routine.

  In step S <b> 12, the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 performs a determination process. That is, in the special figure lottery processing section 110, the first special figure success / failure determination section 115a holds the special figure reservation ball number when there is one special figure reservation ball random number held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage section 114a. If the number of special figure reservation ball random numbers held by the first special figure success / failure determination storage unit 114a is plural, the oldest of the special figure reservation ball random numbers is determined. Judgment is made on the special figure holding ball random number. At this time, the first special figure success / failure determination unit 115a refers to the first special figure low probability determination table 116a to determine whether or not the current gaming state is the special gaming state when the current gaming state is low special figure probability. When the special figure is highly accurate, it is determined whether or not it is true by referring to the first special figure high probability determination table 117a.

  Next, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 performs special figure type determination processing (step S13). That is, in the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, the first winning symbol lottery unit 122a uses the special symbol used in the success / failure determination processing in step S12 when the result of the determination processing in step S12 is positive. With reference to the first per symbol table 126, the symbol corresponding to the special symbol type random number acquired at the same timing as the reserved ball random number (the special symbol failure random number), 4R normal time short symbol, 4R specific short symbol, The symbol is selected from the 16R specific short-lived symbols and is determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol in the current special symbol game. On the other hand, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 determines that the stop symbol of the first special figure in the current special figure game is a lost symbol when the result of the success / failure determination process in step S12 is lost. The stop symbol of the first special figure determined in step S13 is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500 in the form of a first special figure type command when the first special figure starts to change.

  Next, the variation pattern lottery processing unit 130 performs variation pattern determination processing (step S14). That is, in the variation pattern lottery processing unit 130, the first variation pattern lottery unit 132a displays the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern random number acquired at the same timing as the special figure reservation ball random number used in the success / failure determination process in step S12. Based on the result of the success / failure determination process in step S12, the current gaming state (one of low probability, latent probability, short time, and probability change) and the current number of reserved special figure holding ball random numbers, normal fluctuation A selection is made with reference to the pattern table 136 or the shortened variation pattern table 137, and the variation pattern in this special figure game is determined. The variation pattern determined in step S14 is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 500 in the form of a first variation pattern command at the start of variation of the first special figure.

  Next, in the sub control processing unit 500, the effect control processing unit 510 performs an effect mode determination process (step S15). That is, in the effect control processing unit 510, the effect symbol variation pattern determination unit 540 displays the variation pattern corresponding to the first variation pattern command from the main control processing unit 100 as the effect symbol 53 in the current special symbol game. The effect symbol type determining unit 550 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first special symbol type command from the main control processing unit 100 as the stop symbol of the effect symbol 53 in this special symbol game. To decide.

  At the start of the variation of the first special figure, the main control processing unit 100 instructs the sub-control processing unit 500 to reduce the number of special figure reservation sphere random numbers by one, and a step S12. And a gaming state command for designating a gaming state at the time of the success / failure determination process at. In the sub control processing unit 500, the hold display control unit 530 of the effect control processing unit 510 performs a hold number reduction display process based on the first special figure hold number reduction command (step S16). That is, the hold display control unit 530 causes the effect display device 50 to decrease the number of lighting in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d by one.

  Next, in the main control processing unit 100, the special figure display control unit 140 causes the special figure display device 40 to start the fluctuation of the special figure based on the result of the fluctuation pattern determination process in step S14. In the sub control processing unit 500, the effect display control unit 560 of the effect control processing unit 510 causes the effect display device 50 to start changing the effect symbol 53 based on the result of the effect mode determination process in step S15 (step S17). In this step S17, the change of the first special figure and the change of the effect symbol 53 are started in synchronization. Thereafter, the special figure display control unit 140 determines whether or not the variation time of the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination process in step S14 has elapsed. (Step S18). At the beginning of the change, since the change time has not elapsed, the main control processing unit 100 ends the game process (No in step S18 and ends). Until the fluctuation time elapses, the routine from step S1 to step S18 is repeated. When the fluctuation time has elapsed (in the case of Yes in step S18), the main control processing unit 100 transmits a command for designating the stop of the effect symbol 53 to the sub control processing unit 500, and at the same time, the main control processing unit 100. In step S13, the special figure display control unit 140 causes the special figure display device 40 to stop the fluctuation of the first special figure at the winning symbol or the lost symbol based on the result of the special figure type determination process in step S13. In the sub control processing unit 500, the effect display control unit 560 of the effect control processing unit 510 performs the effect mode determination process in step S15 at the timing when the sub control processing unit 500 receives a command designating the stop of the effect design 53. Based on the result, the effect display device 50 is caused to stop changing the effect symbol 53 (step S19). In step S19, the stop of the fluctuation of the special symbol and the stop of the fluctuation of the effect symbol 53 are performed in synchronization.

  Next, in the main control processing unit 100, the attacker operation control unit 150 starts a winning game when the stop symbol of the first special symbol is a winning symbol (in the case of a winning symbol in step S20) (step S21). That is, the opening / closing operation of the attacker device 65 is started based on the number of rounds (4 rounds or 16 rounds) previously associated with the winning symbol. Thereafter, the attacker operation control unit 150 determines whether or not it is time to end the winning game (step S22). The initial stage of the winning game is not the end timing of the winning game, so the main control processing unit 100 ends the game process (No → End in step S22). The routine from step S1 to step S22 is repeated until the hit game end timing is reached. Then, when it is time to end the winning game (Yes in step S22), the winning game is ended (step S23). That is, the attacker operation control unit 150 ends the opening / closing operation of the attacker device 65 with the attacker device 65 closing the special winning opening 63.

  When the winning game ends, the game state setting unit 300 performs a game state setting process in the main control processing unit 100 (step S24). That is, the gaming state setting unit 300 displays the special figure at the time of the success / failure determination process in step S12 and the gaming state according to the usual figure (one of low probability, latency, short time, and probability change), and the special figure in step S10. Based on the winning symbol determined by the type determination process, the special state after the winning game and the gaming state related to the normal game are set. After the gaming state is set by the gaming state setting unit 300, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a gaming state command designating the gaming state to the sub-control processing unit 500.

  On the other hand, when the stop symbol of the first special figure in step S20 is a lost symbol (in the case of a lost symbol in step S17), the gaming state setting unit 300 performs the gaming state setting process without passing through steps S21 to S23. It performs (step S24). In other words, the game state setting unit 300 determines that the stop of the first special figure is confirmed when the game state before the stop of the first special figure is confirmed is low probability (special figure low probability & general figure low probability). Maintain low probability as a gaming state after. In addition, the gaming state setting unit 300, when the number of times of electric support is left when the stop of the first special figure is confirmed (at the end of the special figure game), If the number of times of electric support is exhausted, the gaming state according to the usual figure is set with a low probability. In addition, when the number of STs remains when the stop of the first special figure is confirmed, the special figure high accuracy is maintained as a gaming state related to the special figure, and when all the ST number is exhausted, the special figure is indicated. The gaming state is set with a low probability. The main control processing unit 100 transmits to the sub control processing unit 500 a gaming state command that designates the gaming state maintained or set by the gaming state setting unit 300.

  According to the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the hold display mode determination unit 520 is a super hot hold icon Ti (first special hold display mode) as a hold display mode related to a new special figure hold ball random number during the special figure high-probability (in the probability variation state). Based on the result of the first special figure type pre-reading determination for the special figure type random number held by the first winning symbol selection holding storage unit 124a before the new special figure holding ball random number, Before the special figure game that digests the new special figure holding ball random number, it is determined whether or not the special figure falls to the low probability (normal state), and the result of the judgment that the special figure falls to the low precision is obtained. If this happens, the hold display mode related to the new special figure hold ball random number is changed to the chance hold icon Ch (second special hold display mode) and confirmed. As a result, when the game state at the time of the first success / failure prefetch determination is highly specific and the special game that digests the new special figure holding ball random number that is the target of the first success / failure prefetch determination is started. When the game state falls down with a low probability, the pre-reading notice is performed while the special figure is highly accurate, but the pre-reading notice is limited to that with the chance hold icon Ch. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 makes a pre-reading advance notice in the first hold display areas 51a to 51d during the special figure accuracy regardless of whether the gaming state falls from the special figure high accuracy to the special figure low accuracy. It is possible to achieve both the performance and the prevention of the player's expectation from betraying the player's expectation.

  In the same manner, in the pachinko machine 1, the hold display mode determination unit 520 displays the intense hot hold icon Ti (first) as the hold display mode related to the new special figure hold ball random number during the high accuracy of the special figure (during the probability change state). After selecting the special hold display mode), the second special figure type look-ahead determination for the special figure type random number held by the second winning symbol selection hold storage unit 124b from before the new special figure holding ball random number is performed. Based on the result, it is determined whether or not the special figure reserve ball random number will fall before the special figure game to digest the special figure low probability (normal state), and the special figure low probability will fall When the result of the determination is obtained, the hold display mode related to the new special figure holding ball random number is changed to the chance hold icon Ch (second special hold display mode) and is confirmed. Thereby, when the game state at the time of the second winning / failing pre-reading determination is high in the special figure and the special figure game for digesting the new special figure holding ball random number that is the target of the second winning / failing pre-reading determination is started. When the game state falls down with a low probability, the pre-reading notice is performed while the special figure is highly accurate, but the pre-reading notice is limited to that with the chance hold icon Ch. Thereby, the pachinko machine 1 makes a pre-reading notice in the second hold display areas 52a to 52d during the special figure high accuracy regardless of whether the gaming state falls from the special figure high accuracy to the special figure low accuracy. It is possible to achieve both the performance and the prevention of the player's expectation from betraying the player's expectation.

  In the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 corresponds to the game state lottery means in the present invention, and the special figure is a normal winning symbol when winning in the special figure lottery during the probability change (during the probability change state).
