Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to opening and closing a special prize opening and a game effect in a special game.

  In a recent mainstream pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball wins a start opening, determination information is acquired when a start condition is established, and it is determined whether or not it is a “hit” based on the determination information. After the special symbol is variably displayed based on the result of the jackpot determination, the determination symbol indicating the result of the jackpot determination is stopped and displayed. When it is judged as “big hit”, after the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, a special game (big hit game) in which the big winning opening is opened over a plurality of R (round) is performed, and there are a plurality of game balls. You can win a large number of winning balls and win a considerable number of game balls.

  When it is determined as “big hit” based on the determination information, one of a plurality of types of big hit symbols is further selected, and the selected big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, according to the type of the jackpot symbol that is displayed in a stopped state, the game is controlled in any of a plurality of types of gaming states with different degrees of advantage after the special game is over. For example, a game is played in either a low probability state (eg, 1/300) with a low probability of being judged as “big hit” or a high probability state with a high probability (eg, 1/30) of a big hit. Be controlled.

  Based on the result of the jackpot determination, when the special symbol is variably displayed, the symbol variation effect suggesting the jackpot expectation determined to be “big hit”, and when the special game is being performed, the special game is displayed. The special game effects that are raised are performed mainly by the display on the image display device, and the game performance and the game interest are enhanced by such game effects.

  In addition, in the special game production, after showing that a special game with a low degree of advantage is being performed, or after making the advantage level of the special game being performed seemingly unclear, the actual advantage level A technique for performing a so-called promotion effect that suggests (notifies) that a special game with a high price is being performed is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Now, a special area is provided in the special winning opening, and the first special game where the game ball easily passes through the specific area and the second special game where the game ball does not easily pass through the specific area depending on the type of the jackpot symbol stopped and displayed. When any special game is played and a special game is played, if the game ball passes through a specific area, the game is controlled with a high probability after the special game ends, and the game ball passes through the specific area Otherwise, a model is known in which the game is controlled with a low probability after the special game is over.

  In this type of gaming machine, in the case of having a first grand prize opening and a second major prize opening having a specific area inside, most of the Rs in the special game are the first largest The R is normally R that opens the winning opening, and the R in the latter half is mainly the specific R that opens the second winning opening. In the first special game, the second grand prize opening is opened for a long time at the specific R, so that the game ball easily passes through the specific area, and in the second special game, the second big prize opening is opened for a short time at the specific R. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area.

  Here, in the special game effect, the opening / closing mode of the second big prize opening at the specific R (that is, the second big prize opening) before the start of the specific R (the previous specific R if there are two specific Rs). Suggests whether it will be a long-term opening or a short-term opening). For example, a battle effect is performed as a suggestion effect, and in the battle effect, when the second big prize opening is opened for a long time in a specific R, the victory is won, and in the specific R, the second big prize opening is a short time opening. If you become defeated.

  In the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine, when a special game is being performed, the player will be able to open the second big prize opening for a long period of time with the specific R due to the suggestion effect performed before the start of the specific R in the special game effect. That is, it is possible to play a game with the expectation that the game ball will pass through the specific area and the game will be controlled in a high probability state after the special game ends.

  Here, even if the specific R is performed twice, the opening / closing mode of the second prize winning opening is usually the same for both of the specific Rs. Therefore, the suggestion effect is performed once before the start of the previous specific R. It is only The player can only expect that the second grand prize winning opening will be opened for a long time at a specific R by this one-time suggestion effect, and there will be a suggestion effect that will be short-term open there, and the second grand prize will be won at a specific R. If the mouth is opened for a short time, the game ball cannot be expected to pass through the specific area.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each means 30-37, 40-47, 50 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer of the game control board 21. As shown in FIG.

  The special figure counter means 30 sequentially updates the jackpot determination value, which is a so-called hard random number having a 16-bit configuration, every minute time (0.1 μs) within a set range (0 to 65535), and is a so-called software having an 8-bit configuration. The special figure determination value, which is a random number, is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within the setting range (0 to 199). Further, the reach determination value and the fluctuation pattern determination value, which are soft random numbers, are sequentially updated every minute time within the set range.

  The special figure acquisition means 31 is updated by the special figure counter means 30 when the first special figure holding number is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first start opening 10 and the special figure start condition is established. The big hit determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information. Further, when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the special figure starting condition is established when the second special figure holding number is less than 4, and the special hit counter value updated by the special figure counter means 30, The figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of second special figure determination information. Up to four pieces of first and second special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition unit 31 are temporarily stored (held) in the special figure storage unit 32.

  The special figure hold digest means 33 determines the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 by the big hit determination means 34a one by one every time the special symbol changes on the special figure indicators 19a and 19b start. And erased from the special figure storage unit 32 (holding digestion). At this time, if a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32, the order in which the plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (that is, the special figure acquisition means 31). Digested in the order acquired by the above), but if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is prioritized and digested over the first special figure determination information. .

  In the special figure determination means 34, when the game ball wins one of the first and second start ports 10, 11a, the special figure acquisition means 31 acquires the special figure start condition (the special figure hold storage means). Specifically, based on the special figure determination information (stored in FIG. 32), when the special symbol is variably displayed, it is digested by the special symbol determination information related to the variation display of the special symbol, that is, the special figure reservation digesting means 33. If the big hit determination means 34a determines whether or not to play a special game advantageous to the player based on the special figure determination information, and determines that the special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 34b determines that the big game during the special game is large. It is determined which of a plurality of types of special games with different opening / closing patterns of the winning openings 13a, 14a is to be performed.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determination means 34a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information, as a jackpot determination table shown in FIG. Judge using When the low-accuracy / non-short-time state or low-accuracy / short-time state described later is set, either of the big hit judgment values (3,247 ...) is used at a rate of about 1/300 using the low accuracy table. If this is the case, it is determined that a special game will be performed, and when the high accuracy / short time state described later is set, the big hit determination value is about 1/68 using the high accuracy table. 7)), it is determined that a special game is to be performed.

  If it is determined that a special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 34b then selects a plurality of types of jackpot symbols (27 types of jackpot symbols shown in FIG. 8) based on the special symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. 1 to 27) is selected. Here, when the special figure determination value is the first special figure determination information, the symbol is selected at the selection rate defined by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. 8 and is the second special figure determination information. Performs symbol selection at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG. Then, the open / close pattern of the big winning openings 13a, 14a in the special game is determined according to the type of the selected jackpot symbol.

  The special figure display control means 35 is triggered by the fact that the special figure reservation digesting means 33 has digested the first special figure determination information based on the determination results by the big hit determination means 34a and the symbol determination means 34b. After the first special symbol is variably displayed on the display 19a, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed, and the second special symbol determination information is digested by the special symbol reservation digesting means 33. After the second special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display 19b, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed.

  If it is determined that the special game is to be played by the big hit determining means 34a, any one of the big hit symbols 1 to 27 selected by the symbol determining means 34b is stopped and displayed. Stop displaying symbols.

  The variation mode determining means 35a is a symbol selected based on the determination result by the jackpot determining means 34a and the symbol determining means 34b (any one of the jackpot symbols 1 to 27 or the lost symbol), and the reach determination value of the special symbol determination information. Based on the variation pattern determination value, the first and second special figure hold counts, and the current gaming state, the special figure display control means 35 determines a variation time (variation mode) in which the special symbol is variably displayed. That is, the special figure display control unit 35 displays the determination symbol after the variable time and the special symbol determined by the variation mode determination unit 35a are variably displayed.

  The prior determination means 34c of the special figure determination means 34 is based on special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (that is, special figure determination information that is later digested by the special figure hold digest means 33). Specifically, when special figure determination information is acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31, the determination and determination equivalent to the determination and determination by the big hit determination means 34a, the symbol determination means 34b, and the variation mode determination means 35a (that is, determination) It is possible to determine in advance whether or not to play a special game, determination of jackpot symbol, loss symbol, determination of variation time).

  If the special game execution means 36 determines that the special game is to be played by the big hit determination means 34a, the special symbol display control means 35 stops the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the big hit symbol selected by the symbol determination means 34b. After the display, the special winning opening 13a, 14a is opened / closed with an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the type of the jackpot symbol, and a special game is performed in which a game ball can be won in the special winning opening 13a, 14a.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the special game, regardless of the type of jackpot symbol, that is, the opening / closing pattern of the big winning openings 13a, 14a, one of the first big winning openings 13a, 14a is used. There are 9R (multiple R) R games (R means "round") that are activated in the open state, and each of the R games of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8R, which is usually R of the 9Rs The first grand prize 13a is a normal R game that operates in an open state, and the second grand prize 14a operates in an open state for each R game of 3, 6, and 9R that is a specific R (predetermined R). The game ball that has won the mouth 14a is a specific R game that can pass through the specific area 14f.

  As described above, the special game execution means 36 performs the specific R game three times (multiple times) in the special game, and based on the determination result by the symbol determination means 34b, that is, depending on the type of the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed. In each of the specific R games 3, 6, 9R (specific R) of the special game, the game ball is less likely to pass through the specific area 14f. The short-term release shown in FIG. 10 (2), which is easy to pass through the area 14f, and the long-term opening shown in FIG. 10 (3), in which the game ball is easy to pass through the specific area 14f, as compared with the middle opening. The special winning opening 14a is operated.

  In each R, the first number of game balls set for each R is won in either the first or second grand prize opening 13a, 14a, or the first time until the specified time set for each R elapses. , One of the second grand prize winning openings 13a, 14a is operated to be in an open state. That is, after each R starts and operates (opens) one of the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a, a predetermined number of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a. When the game ball is won, or when a prescribed time has elapsed, one of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a is operated (closed) in the closed state, and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 11, each normal R starts with the opening of the first grand prize opening 13a. After 10 game balls have been awarded to the first big prize opening 13a or 30 seconds have passed, The winning opening 13a is closed and the process ends. On the other hand, each specific R starts after opening the second grand prize opening 14a, and when 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, or when 0.1 second, 1 second or 30 seconds have passed, The special winning opening 14a is closed and the process ends. The short-term opening, the medium-term opening, and the long-term opening shown in FIG.

  Here, short-term opening (or medium-term opening) of the second grand prize opening 14a corresponds to the first opening / closing mode, and long-term opening corresponds to the second opening / closing mode.

  Now, in each specific R game of three specific Rs, the overall big prize opening opening / closing pattern differs depending on whether the second big prize opening 14a is short-term open, medium-term open, or long-term open. Any of the 27 types of special games is performed according to the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed among the 27 types of jackpot symbols respectively corresponding to these special games.

  For example, when the jackpot symbol 1 shown in FIG. 8 is stopped and displayed, the special game in which the second big prize opening 14a is opened three times in a specific R three times, and the jackpot symbol 27 shown in FIG. 8 is stopped. When displayed, in the specific R three times, a special game in which the long-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a is performed three times. Further, when any one of the jackpot symbols 2 to 26 shown in FIG. 8 is stopped and displayed, the second big prize opening 14a is opened once or twice in three specific Rs, and the second big prize opening is obtained. It is a special game in which the long-term release of 14a is performed two or one time.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12, if the second grand prize opening 14a is not opened for a long time in one specific R three times, a maximum of about 600 game balls can be obtained and the long-term opening is once. If performed, a maximum of about 700 game balls can be acquired. If long-term release is performed twice, a maximum of about 800 game balls can be acquired. If long-term release is performed three times, a maximum of about 900 games can be acquired. You can get a ball.

  On the other hand, the special game executing means 36 opens and closes the specific area 14f by the allocating device 14h in association with opening and closing the second big prize opening 14a in each of the specific R of 3, 6 and 9R. Specifically, both when the second big prize opening 14a shown in FIG. 10 (1) is opened for a short time and when the second big prize opening 14a shown in FIG. Even when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, the specific area 14f is opened 0.8 seconds after the second big prize opening 14a is opened, and the specific area 14f is closed 0.8 seconds after the second big prize opening 14a is closed. .

  In the short-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a shown in FIG. 10 (1), the opening time of the second big prize opening 14a is 0.1 seconds, and the specific area 14f is opened after the second big prize opening 14a is closed. Therefore, the possibility that the game ball wins the second grand prize opening 14a and passes through the specific area 14f becomes extremely low.

  In the mid-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a shown in FIG. 10 (2), the opening time of the second big prize opening 14a is 1 second, and both the second big prize opening 14a and the specific area 14f are open. Since the time is 0.2 seconds, the possibility that the game ball wins the second large winning opening 14a and passes through the specific area 14f is slightly higher than that in the short-term opening shown in FIG.

  In the long-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a shown in FIG. 10 (3), the opening time of the second big prize opening 14a is 30 seconds at the maximum, and both the second big prize opening 14a and the specific area 14f are opened. Since the playing time becomes very long, the possibility that the game ball wins the second large winning opening 14a and passes through the specific area 14f becomes extremely high.

  Note that the R interval time from the end of each R to the start of the next R (the big prize opening 13a, 14b is closed) is set to about 2 seconds. This R interval time (about 2 seconds) is set so that the game ball that won a prize (especially at the end of R) at the big prize opening 13a, 14b opened in each R will not win the next R. The time is determined so that it can be reliably detected by the special winning openings SW13c, 14c before the start (when the next special winning openings 13a, 14b are opened).

  The special game executing means 36 is a first special game having 9R R games for operating one of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a to be in an open state depending on the type of the big hit symbol. Then, one of the second special games having a plurality of R games (R, for example, 6R) smaller than 9R may be performed. In the second special game, the specific R game may be performed as many times as the number of specific R games (three times) performed in the first special game, or the specific R game performed in the first special game. You may make it perform specific R game of the frequency | count (for example, 1 or 2 times) smaller than the frequency | count of R game.

  Also, the special game execution means 36 may open the first big prize opening 13a for a short period in each normal R game of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8R (normal R) of the special game, depending on the type of jackpot symbol. You may make it operate | move by any opening-and-closing aspect of long-term opening. In the short-term opening of the first grand prize opening 13a, after opening the first grand prize opening 13a and starting 10 game balls in the first big prize opening 13a, or when 0.1 second elapses, the first grand prize winning hole 13a is opened. On the other hand, in the long-term opening of the first grand prize opening 13a, as shown also in FIG. 11, after opening the first big prize opening 13a and starting, When a single game ball wins, or when 30 seconds have elapsed, the first big winning opening 13a is closed and the game ends.

  In this way, the number of R games performed in the special game (for example, 9R or 6R) is varied, or the first big prize opening 13a is opened / closed in either the short-term opening or the long-term opening in each normal R game of the special game. And the like, it is possible to make the overall winning opening opening / closing pattern diverse, and it is also possible to vary the number of game balls that can be acquired. For example, basically, the number of game balls that the R game can acquire in the first special game of 9R is larger than the number of game balls that the R game can acquire in the second special game of 6R.

  In addition, the number of game balls that can be obtained in one normal R game that the first big prize opening 13a is opened for a long time and the number of game balls that can be obtained in one specific R game that the second big prize opening 13a is opened for a long time. May be different. As a result, even if one of the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a is a special game having the same number of R games (for example, six) that are opened for a long period of time, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time. It is possible to vary the number of game balls that can be acquired by varying the number of specific R games (that is, the number of normal R games that the first big prize opening 13a is opened for a long time).

  In addition, about the opening / closing aspect of the 2nd big prize opening 14a which operates in the specific R game of the special game, the medium-term opening shown in FIG. 10 (2) is omitted, that is, in the specific R game, the short term shown in FIG. 10 (1). You may make it operate the 2nd big winning opening 14a by the opening and closing mode in any one of opening and long-term opening shown in FIG. 10 (3).

  The probability setting means 37 uses a low probability (about 1/300) or a high probability table shown in FIG. 7 to determine the big hit probability determined to perform the special game by the big hit determination means 34a. Use to set high probability (about 1/68).

  The usual counter means 40 sequentially updates the hit determination value, which is an 8-bit soft random number, every minute time (4 ms) within a set range (0 to 199), and also uses an 8-bit soft random number. A certain common figure judgment value is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within a set range (0 to 9).

  When the game ball passes through the gate 12, the universal chart acquisition unit 41 establishes the universal chart start condition when the number of pending charts is less than 4, and the hit determination value updated by the universal chart counter unit 40 is Acquired as general-purpose information. Up to four pieces of common figure determination information acquired by the general figure acquisition means 41 are temporarily stored (suspended) in the general figure hold storage means 42.

  The universal figure reservation means 43 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure storage means 42 for the determination by the universal figure determination means 44 one by one every time the normal symbol display 19c starts to change. Then, it is deleted (holding digestion) from the usual figure holding storage means 42. At this time, when a plurality of common map determination information is stored in the hold storage unit 42, the plurality of common map determination information is acquired in the order stored in the general map hold storage unit 42 (that is, acquired by the general map acquisition unit 41). Digest in the order in which they were made.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 12, the common figure determination means 44 is based on the common figure determination information acquired by the general figure acquisition means 41 (stored in the general figure hold storage means 42) when the normal figure start condition is established. Specifically, when a normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner, an auxiliary game is performed based on the general symbol determination information related to the variable symbol display of the normal symbol, that is, the normal symbol determination information digested by the normal symbol holding digest means 43. It is determined whether or not.

  Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 44, the general map display control unit 45 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 19c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 43. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. When it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed by the general symbol determination means 44, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the auxiliary game execution means 46 performs the auxiliary game, the general game display control means 45 stops and displays the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result. 2 An auxiliary game for opening and closing the start port 11a is performed. As shown in FIG. 13, the opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a during the auxiliary game is set according to the second starting port operating mode.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the operation mode setting means 47 sets, as the second start port operation mode, a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state. . Specifically, in the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 44 is 1/10, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol on the normal figure display 19c is 12 seconds, The opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a is set to 0.1 seconds × 1. In the high operation mode, the hit probability is 10/10, the variation time of the normal symbol is 0.5 seconds, and the opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a is 2.0 seconds. × Set to 3 times.

  The gaming state control means 50 is one of a plurality of gaming states (low probability (low probability) / non-short time state, low probability (low probability) / short time state, high probability (high probability) / short time state shown in FIG. 14). One is set alternatively, and the game is controlled in the game state. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, a low-probability / non-time-short state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the low-accuracy / non-short-time state and the low-accuracy / short-time state are set, the probability setting means 37 sets a low probability, and when the high-precision / short-time state is set, the probability setting means 37 sets a high probability. Further, when the low accuracy / non-time-short state is set, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 47, and when the low accuracy / time-short state and the high accuracy / time-short state are set, the operation mode setting means 47 High operating mode is set.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, the game state control means 50 sets the game in a low-probability / non-short-time state, but after the special game ends, When the game ball that has won the second big prize opening 14a in the special game passes through the specific area 14f (that is, the V winning is present), the advantageous game state control means 50a is in a highly accurate / short time state (to the player) Advantageous advantageous gaming state), and the game can be controlled in the high accuracy / short time state, and after setting the high accuracy / short time state, the special figure change count of the special symbol on the special symbol display 19a, 19b is When 110 times are reached, the high accuracy / short time state is changed to the low accuracy / non-short time state.

  In addition, the game state control means 50 is low when the game ball that has won the second big prize opening 14a in the special game has not passed through the specific area 14f after the special game has ended (that is, no V prize has been won). It is possible to control the game in the low-accuracy / short-time state by setting the accurate / short-time state (game state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the high-precision / short-time state). When the number of times reaches 100, the low accuracy / short time state is changed to the low accuracy / non-short time state.

  Here, the low-probability / non-short-time state corresponds to the first gaming state, the high-probability / short-time state (or low-probability / short-time state) corresponds to the second gaming state, and the gaming state control means 50 After the end, if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f in the special game, the special game will be played even if the special figure change count reaches 110 times or the special figure change count does not reach 110 times. The game can be controlled with high accuracy and short time until a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  The variation mode determination unit 35a of the special figure display control unit 35 determines the variation time of the first special symbol based on the table shown in FIG. In the low-probability / non-short-time state, using the table shown in FIG. 16 (1), it is determined that no special game will be played, and the expectation level for jackpots is relatively low. 9 seconds, 7 seconds, 5 seconds, or 3 seconds depending on the situation, when it is determined that the special game is not performed and the expectation degree of the big hit is relatively high (2) or when the special game is performed At the time of the determined winning, one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the first special figure hold. In the low-accuracy / short-time state or high-precision / short-time state, using the table in Fig. 16 (2), when not winning (1), 12 seconds is determined regardless of the number of first special figure hold, 2) At the time of winning or winning, one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds, ..., 50 seconds will be determined regardless of the number of first special figure hold.

  Further, the variation mode determination means 35a determines the variation time of the second special symbol based on the table shown in FIG. In the low-probability / non-short-time state, use the table in Fig. 17 (1) to determine 3 seconds for non-winning (1) regardless of the number of second special figure hold, and for non-winning (2) or win The time is determined to be 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds, regardless of the number of the second special figure hold. In the low-probability and short-time state, using the table in Fig. 17 (2), when not winning (1), determine either 12 seconds or 2.5 seconds according to the number of second special figure hold, 2) At the time of winning or winning, any of 13 seconds, 15 seconds, ..., 50 seconds will be decided regardless of the number of second special figure hold. In the high-precision / short-time state, using the table in Fig. 17 (3), in the case of non-winning (1), determine either 15 seconds or 2 seconds according to the number of second special figure hold, 2) At the time of winning or winning, either 5 seconds, 13 seconds, ..., 50 seconds will be decided regardless of the number of second special figure hold.

  Note that the variation mode determination means 35a has a plurality of tables for determining the variation time of the second special symbol in the high accuracy / short time state. When the symbol variation count reaches the table switching count, the table to be used may be changed from one of the plurality of tables to another one.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, when the number of special figure fluctuations after the end of the special game is 1 to 70, the table of (1) is used, and when the number of special figure fluctuations is 71 to 106, (2) When the number of special figure fluctuations is 107 to 110, the table (3) is used. As the table is switched from (1) to (2) to (3), the second special figure fluctuation time at the time of non-winning (1) when the number of second special figure hold is 2 or more is decided to become longer Is done. (1) In the table of (2), the second special figure fluctuation time at the time of non-winning (2) or at the time of winning is determined in the same manner as the table of FIG. 17 (3). 1) Regardless of the time of winning, non-winning (2), winning, and regardless of the number of second special figure hold, it is decided uniformly (or at approximately the same time).

  As shown in FIG. 6, predetermined rendering means 69 (image display device 17, movable accessory device 18, speaker 27, lamps 28 a and 28 b) is generated by the computer of the rendering control board 23, the image control board 24, and the lamp control board 25. An effect control means 60 for causing the player to perform a game effect is configured. The effect control means 60 includes a symbol variation effect control means 61, a special game effect control means 62, and a prefetch effect control means 63.

  The symbol variation effect control means 61 is based on the determination result by the special symbol determination unit 34, and the special symbol display control unit 35 displays the special symbol when the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display devices 19a and 19b. A symbol variation effect corresponding to the variation time (the special symbol variation time determined by the variation mode determining means 35a) is a plurality of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,... N shown in FIG. 19 (1)). ) To choose from.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (1), each of the plurality of symbol variation effects is classified into one of a low-accuracy / non-time-saving game effect, a low-accuracy / time-short game effect, and a high-accuracy / time-short game effect, The symbol variation effect control means 61 performs a low-accuracy / non-time-short game effect when in a low-probability / non-time-short state, and performs a low-precision / time-short game effect when in a low-probability / time-short state. In the state, either a high-precision / short-time game effect or a low-precision / short-time game effect is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18, a table used to determine the special figure fluctuation time according to the number of special figure fluctuations after the end of the special game in the high-probability / time-short state is a plurality of tables. When changing from one table to another table, different types of high-precision / short-time game effects may be performed for each table.

  For example, use the table in Fig. 18 (1) when the number of special figure changes after the special game is 1 to 70, and the special figure when the second special figure hold number is 2 or more and not won (1) Since the fluctuation time is very short and the on-hold digestion becomes very speedy, a speedy first high-precision / time-saving game production is performed in accordance with that, and when the special figure fluctuation frequency is 71 to 106 times, FIG. Using the table in (2), use the table in Fig. 18 (1) for the special figure fluctuation time when the number of second special figure hold is 2 or more and not elected (1) Since it is a little longer than the special figure fluctuation time when the number is 2 or more and it is not won (1), the second high-precision / short-time game effect is made accordingly.

  When the number of special figure changes after the special game is 107 to 110, the number of special figure changes until the high accuracy / short time state ends (that is, low accuracy / non-time short state) remains (less than 4) 18) Using the table of FIG. 18 (3), the special figure fluctuation time is shown in FIG. 18 () regardless of the number of second special figure hold, non-winning (1), non-winning (2), and winning. 1) Since the table in (2) is used (when the number of second special figure hold is 2 or more and it is not elected (1)), it will be longer (12 seconds) than the special figure fluctuation time, so it will not be elected Even in (1), it is the third high-precision / short-time game effect that expects the player to perform a special game. For example, the player operates the effect button SW6a (single press, long press) , Any one of repeated hits), and a third high-precision / short-time game effect that suggests a success or failure is performed.

  Incidentally, in the symbol variation effect, basically, as shown in FIG. 20, three symbol display portions 17a are set in the image display device 17, and (1) three sets of effect symbol sequences are displayed in these symbol display portions 17a. After the variable display, first, (2) the left effect symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, then (3) the right effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed, and finally (4) the center effect is displayed. The symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed, and these three effect stop symbols “XZY” are in a combination mode indicating the determination result by the jackpot determining means 34a and the symbol determining means 34b. For example, a special game is performed by the jackpot determining means 34a. When it is determined, the effect stop symbols “XZY” are all in the combination mode that becomes the same symbol (that is, a doublet).

  In this symbol variation effect, when the effect symbols “X” and “Y” are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, a so-called reach state is reached, and thereafter the effect symbol “Z” is also stopped and displayed with the same symbol (a big hit). Although the expectation is enhanced, there may be a development effect that increases the expectation of a big hit before the effect symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed. In many cases, there will be a design variation effect that does not reach reach at the special figure change time determined at the time of non-winning (1), and it will reach the reach state at the special figure change time determined at the time of non-winning (2) or at the time of winning. The symbol variation effect is often performed.

  In the high-precision / short-time game effect, the ratio of the symbol variation effect that reaches the reach state may be varied according to the number of special diagram variations after the end of the special game. For example, as described above, the number of special figure fluctuations is 1 to 70 in synchronization with changing the table used to determine the special figure fluctuation time according to the number of special figure fluctuations after the end of the special game. Change the table that determines the type of symbol variation effect so that the ratio of the symbol variation effect that reaches the reach state is different between the times of 71, 106, and 107 to 110 May be.

  Specifically, when the number of special figure fluctuations is 71 to 106 times, the ratio of the symbol variation effect that reaches the reach state is increased, and the special figure fluctuation is also performed. You may make it make the ratio in which the design change effect which will be in a reach state performed is higher when the number of times is 107-110 times than when it is 71-106 times. When the number of special symbol variations is 107 to 110, all symbol variation effects to be performed may be a symbol variation effect that reaches a reach state.

  The special game effect control means 62 (the effect control means 62), based on the determination result by the special figure determination means 34, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, according to the type of the special game. A special game effect is selected from a plurality of special game effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3... N shown in FIG. 19 (2)), and the special game effect is selected at the end of the special game. The subsequent ending effects are selected from a plurality of ending effects (ending effects 1, 2, 3,... N shown in FIG. 19 (3)).

  As described above, the special game executing means 36 performs the specific R game three times in the special game, but the suggestion effect control means 62a of the special game effect control means 62 is used by the special game execution means 36 in the special game effect. Before each specific R game is performed, on the condition that the notification effect described later is not performed, that is, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, the second big prize opening 14a in each specific R game Indicates the opening / closing mode (short-term opening, medium-term opening, long-term opening) (in other words, the gaming state after the end of the special game (whether it will be in a low-probability / short-time state or a high-probability / short-time state)) It is possible to make a suggestion effect.

  The special effect control means 62b of the special game effect control means 62, when a special R game is being performed by the special game execution means 36, when a game ball passes the specific area 14f, the specific R game is played after the specific R game. In other words, on the condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, it is a game effect different from the suggestion effect by the suggestion effect control means 62a, and suggests that the game ball is played in the specific R game. It is possible to make a special performance.

  Here, in the specific R game, when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle period, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, and when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for the long term, the game ball becomes the specific area. 14f is included on the premise (assumed) that it passes through 14f, including a suggestion effect determined according to the type of the jackpot symbol that has been stopped, that is, depending on the opening / closing pattern of the big prize opening 13a, 14a to be performed, A special game effect including the special effect is selected in advance when the jackpot symbol is stopped (at the start of the special game) and is performed during the special game.

  For example, in the three productions before the specific R game corresponding to the three specific R games, if the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time in the first specific R game, the suggestion effect (long-term opening suggestion ) → Special production → Special production is performed, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short period or the middle period in the first specific R game, and the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time in the second specific R game Indicate effect (short-term opening or medium-term opening suggestion) → suggestion effect (long-term opening suggestion) → special effect is performed, and the second grand prize opening 14a is short-term opening or medium-term opening in the first and second specific R games If you want to do the suggestion production (short-term opening or medium-term opening suggestion) → suggestion production (short-term opening or medium-term opening suggestion) → suggestion production (short-term opening or medium-term opening or long-term opening suggestion) Do not do).

  However, in all special games, when the jackpot symbol is stopped, a special game effect that causes the suggestion effect → the suggestion effect → the suggestion effect is selected in advance and is performed during the special game. When the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, and when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, the specific R game is played after the specific R game The suggestion effect may be changed to a special effect.

  The first notification effect control means 62c of the special game effect control means 62 is configured such that the game ball is in a specific area when the special game executing means 36 is performing a specific R game that operates the second big prize opening 14a for a long period of time. After passing 14f, on the condition that the suggestion effect was performed before the specific R game (the notification effect was not performed), the advantageous game state control means 50a is to control the game in a highly accurate / short time state. The notification effect to notify is performed at the timing (predetermined first timing) when the game ball passes the specific area 14f in the specific R game.

  The second notification effect control means 62d of the special game effect control means 62 is a game ball when the special game execution means 36 is performing a specific R game for operating the second big prize opening 14a in a short-term opening or a medium-term opening. When the player passes through the specific area 14f, a notification effect for notifying that the game is controlled in a highly accurate / short time state by the advantageous game state control means 50a is provided on the condition that the notification effect is not performed in another specific R game. , It is performed at the timing when the ending effect is being performed (second timing after the first timing).

The suggestion effect, the special effect, and the notification effect will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 21 (1), as the suggestion effect, any of suggestion effects A, B, and C, which is a battle effect in which an ally and an enemy fight, is performed. In the suggestion effect B that suggests a mid-term opening, the effect that becomes a battle draw is performed in the suggestion effect B, and in the suggestion effect C that suggests a long-term release, an effect that becomes a battle victory is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (2), as the special effect, either one of special effects A and B is performed, and in the special effect A that suggests that there is no ball, the effect that the background color is blue is that there is a ball. In the special effect B to be suggested, the effects in which the background color is red are performed. As the notification effect, an effect that the pair of accessory members 18a and 18b moves from the retracted position to the appearance position by the movable accessory device 18 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (1), when the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the 3R and 6R eyes, the suggestion effect A or B is performed at the 1st to 2nd eyes, and the game ball at the 3rd R Even if it passes through the specific area 14f, the notification effect is not performed. Next, the suggestion effect A or B is performed at the 4th to 5th eyes, and the notification effect is not performed even if the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 6th time. Next, the suggestion effect A, B, or C is performed at the 7th to 8th eyes. Here, the suggestion effect A or B is performed, and the notification effect is performed even if the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 9th time. Although the suggestion effect C is performed, the notification effect is performed when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f in the 9th R. The notification effect is not performed at the 3rd, 6th, and 9th eyes, but when the game ball passes the specific area 14f, the notification effect is performed in the ending effect.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (2), when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle period at the 3rd round, and the second big prize opening 14a is opened for the long term at the sixth round, the suggestion effect A is given at the first to second rounds. Alternatively, B is performed, and the notification effect is not performed even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f in the third round. Next, the suggestion effect C is performed at the 4th to 5th eyes, and the notification effect is performed when the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 6th time. Next, special effects A or B are performed at 7-8R. As shown in FIG. 22 (3), when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 3rd eye, a suggestion effect C is performed at the 1st to 2nd eyes, and a notification is made that the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye. Production is performed. Next, special effects A or B are performed at 4-5R, and special effects A or B are performed at 7-8R.

  If the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the 3rd eye, and the game ball does not perform the notification effect even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the second big prize opening 14a is at the 6th eye. When the winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term, the suggestion effect C is performed instead of the suggestion effect A or B at the 4th to 5th rounds, and it is notified whether or not the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 6th round. An effect is performed, and a special effect A or B may be performed at the 7th to 8th Rs.

  When the second grand prize opening 14a is short-term or medium-term open at the 3R and 6R eyes, and the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at least one of the 3R and 6R eyes, the notification effect is not performed. If the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the 9th eye, the suggestion effect C is performed instead of the suggested effect A or B at the 7th to 8th eyes, and the game ball is specified at the 9th eye. The notification effect may be performed even if it does not pass through the region 14f.

  Next, in a special game, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f even though the second big prize opening 14a has been opened for a long time, or the game ball has opened the specific area 14f even though the second big prize opening 14a has been opened for a short time. The special game effect in the rare case that will be passed will be described in detail by taking as an example a special game in which the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a become the next opening / closing pattern.

  FIG. 23 (1); special R game where the first grand prize opening 13a is opened for a long time 6 times, and special R games (3R, 6R, 9R) where the second big prize port 14a is opened for a long time are 3 special games ( About directing for special games with the most number of game balls that can be acquired)

  The suggestion effect C is performed at the 1st and 2nd eyes, and since the game ball normally passes the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is performed at the time of the passage, and then the special effect B is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes. , 7 and 8R, special effect B is performed. However, if the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and then the special effect B is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eye, for example, by rewriting the effect. C is performed, and since the game ball normally passes through the specific area 14f at the 6Rth, a notification effect is performed at the time of the passage, and a special effect B is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes.

  However, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f even at the 6th eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and then the special effect B is originally performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, for example, by rewriting the effect. C is performed, and since the game ball normally passes through the specific area 14f at the 9th eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of the passage. However, if the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f even in the 9th eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and after the ending effect is performed, the symbol variation effect is performed in the high accuracy / short time effect mode. However, the symbol variation effect will be performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode.

  FIG. 23 (2): About the special R game in which the first grand prize opening 13a is opened for a long time and the special R game (3R, 6R) in which the second big prize port 14a is opened for a long time is two times.

  The suggestion effect C is performed at the 1st and 2nd eyes, and since the game ball normally passes the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is performed at the time of the passage, and then the special effect B is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes. , 7 and 8R special effect A is performed. However, if the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and then the special effect B is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eye, for example, by rewriting the effect. C is performed, and the game ball usually passes through the specific area 14f at the 6th eye, so that the notification effect is performed at the time of the passage, and the special effect A is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes.

  However, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f even at the 6th eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and then the special effect A is normally performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, for example, by rewriting the effect. Since A or B is performed and the game ball does not normally pass through the specific area 14f at the 9th R, the notification effect is not performed there. Next, after the ending effect is performed, originally, the high accuracy / short time effect is performed. Where the symbol variation effect is performed in the mode, the symbol variation effect is performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode.

  FIG. 23 (3); a special game (for example, (2) in which the first R winning opening 13a is opened for a long period of time for the normal R game 5 times and the second large winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time. About special games that can acquire more game balls than the special games shown in)

  The suggestion effect A or B is performed at the 1st and 2nd eyes, and since the game ball does not normally pass through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed there. B is performed, and normally the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f at the 6th eye, so the notification effect is not performed there, and then the suggested effect C is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, and the game is normally played at the 9th eye. Since the sphere passes through the specific area 14f, a notification effect is performed when the sphere passes. However, if the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f even in the 9th eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and after the ending effect is performed, the symbol variation effect is performed in the high accuracy / short time effect mode. As a result, the symbol variation effect is performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode.

  On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3R eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, and then the suggestion effect A or B is originally performed at the 4th and 5R eyes. The effect A is performed, and the special effect B is performed by rewriting the effect where the suggestive effect C is originally performed at the seventh and eighth Rths.

  Alternatively, even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed at the time of the passage, and then the suggested effect A or B is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, and the suggested effect at the 7th and 8th eyes. Where the effect C is performed or the suggestion effect A or B is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, the special effect A is performed by rewriting the effect, for example, and the suggestion effect C is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes. For example, a special effect B is performed by rewriting the effect, and a notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing after the 4th R. The predetermined timing is when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, or when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or the 6th or 9th eye. This is when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f or when an ending effect is being performed.

  If the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f at the 3R eye and the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 6R eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, and then the originally suggested effect C is performed at the 7th and 8R eyes. For example, the special effect B is performed by rewriting the effect.

  Alternatively, even if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f at the 3R eye and the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 6R eye, the notification effect is not performed at the time of passing, and then the 7th and 8R eyes suggest Where the effect C is performed or the suggestion effect C is originally performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, the special effect B is performed, for example, by effect rewriting, and the notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing after the 7th eye. The predetermined timing is when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or when the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 9th eye, or when the ending effect is performed. .

  FIG. 23 (4); a special R game in which the first grand prize opening 13a is opened for a long time four times, and a special R game (6R, 9R) in which the second big prize port 14a is opened for a long time is a special game (for example, About production for special games that can acquire game balls that are almost the same as the special games shown in (2)

  The suggestion effect A or B is performed at the 1st and 2nd eyes, and since the game ball does not normally pass through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed there. Since the game ball normally passes through the specific area 14f at the 6th eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of the passage, and then the special effect B is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes. However, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3Rth, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, and then the suggestion effect C is originally performed at the 4th and 5Rth, for example, by rewriting the special effect B Is performed, and special effects B are performed at the seventh and eighth Rths.

  Or, even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed at the time of the passage, and then the suggestion effect C is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, and then at the 7th and 8th eyes. If the special effect B is performed, the suggestion effect C is performed, or the suggestion effect C is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, for example, by rewriting the effect, the special effect B is performed, and 7, 8R. The special effect B is performed with the eyes, and the notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing after the 4th R. The predetermined timing is when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, or when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or the 6th or 9th eye. This is when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f or when an ending effect is being performed.

  On the other hand, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f at the 3R eye and the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f at the 6R eye, the notification effect is not performed there, and then the special effect at the 7th and 8R eyes. When B is performed, for example, by rewriting the effect, the suggestion effect C is performed, or when the special effect B is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, and the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 9th eye, a notification is given at the time of the passage An effect is performed, or a notification effect is performed as an ending effect. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f even in the 9th eye, after the ending effect is performed, the original pattern variation effect is performed in the high accuracy / short time effect mode. In the low accuracy / short time effect mode A symbol variation effect will be performed.

  FIG. 23 (5): Special game in which the first R winning opening 13a is opened for a long period of time and the specific R game in which the second winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time is 0 (for example, (2) (3 ) About production for special games that can acquire more game balls than the special games shown in (4)

  The suggestion effect A or B is performed at the 1st and 2nd eyes, and since the game ball does not normally pass through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed there. B is performed, and the game ball does not normally pass through the specific area 14f at the 6th eye, so that the notification effect is not performed there, and then the suggested effect A or B is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, and the normal at the 9th eye Since the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, no notification effect is performed there.

  However, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, and then the place where the suggestive effect A or B is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eyes is specially performed by rewriting the effect, for example. The effect A is performed, and the special effect A is performed by rewriting the effect where the suggestion effect A or B is originally performed at the 7th and 8th eyes.

  Alternatively, even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 3rd eye, the notification effect is not performed at the time of the passage, and then the suggested effect A or B is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, and the suggested effect at the 7th and 8th eyes. Where the production A or B is performed or the suggestion production A or B is originally performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, the special production A is performed by, for example, rewriting the production, and the production 7 A is originally suggested at the 7th and 8th eyes. Alternatively, the special effect A is performed, for example, by rewriting the effect where B is performed, and the notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing after the 4th R. The predetermined timing is when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 4th and 5th eyes, or when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or the 6th or 9th eye. This is when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f or when an ending effect is being performed.

  If the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f at the 3R eye and the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 6R eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, and then the normally suggested effect A or B at the 7th and 8R eyes. Is performed, the special effect A is performed by rewriting the effect, for example. Alternatively, even if the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 6th eye, the notification effect is not performed at the time of passing, and then the suggested effect A or B is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or the 7th and 8th eyes In the case where the suggestive effect A or B is originally performed, the special effect A is performed, for example, by rewriting the effect, and the notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing after the 6th R. The predetermined timing is when the suggestion effect or special effect is performed at the 7th and 8th eyes, or when the game ball passes the specific area 14f at the 9th eye, or when the ending effect is performed. .

  If the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 9R eye without passing through the specific area 14f at the 3R eye and the 6R eye, a notification effect is performed at the time of passing, or a notification effect is performed at the ending effect. After the ending effect is performed, the symbol variation effect is originally performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode. However, if the game ball passes the specific area 14f, the symbol variation effect is performed in the high accuracy / short time effect mode. It will be. However, the symbol variation effect may be performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode as it is.

  In this way, the special game effect control means 62, in the specific R game started by the special game execution means 36 in a state where the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, the second big prize opening 14a in the specific R game. When the game ball is opened for a short time or for a long time, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, the effect mode of the game effect to be performed after the specific R game and the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f. In this case, it is possible to change the effect mode of the game effect to be performed after the specific R game.

  Here, the type of the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed, that is, the special game effect including the suggestion effect or the special effect effect determined according to the opening / closing pattern of the big prize opening 13a, 14a to be performed, The game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f even though the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, or the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time. However, even if a rare case occurs in which a game ball passes through the specific area 14f, the effect after the end of the special game when the rare case occurs is provided on the premise that the selected special game effect is performed. It becomes as follows.

  After the end of the special game where there is at least one specific R game that the second big prize opening 14a is open for a long time, the game ball originally passes through the specific area 14f. However, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f due to the rare case, the symbol variation effect is performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode, and the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time. After a special game that has never been completed, the game ball is not passing through the specific area 14f, and the symbol variation effect is performed in the low accuracy / short time effect mode. If it passes through 14f, the symbol variation effect is performed in the high accuracy / short time effect mode.

  Here, when it is determined that the special game is performed by the big hit determination means 44a, the gaming state at that time is any of the low probability / non-time short state, the low probability / short time state, the high probability / short time state, Regardless of the opening / closing pattern of the grand prize winning openings 13a, 14a (the number of times the second big prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time), the special game including the suggestion effects and the special effects shown in FIGS. Although the production is performed, the next production may be performed in addition to the production.

  That is, when the game is controlled in a low-probability / non-time-short state, when it is determined that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 44a based on the second special figure determination information, the second big winning opening 14a is opened. When a special game that is open at least once for a long time is performed, an advantageous suggestion special game effect is suggested that suggests that the special game will be in a highly accurate and short-time state after the special game ends. When the game is controlled in a low-probability / non-time-short state, when it is determined by the big hit determination means 44a that the special game is to be performed based on the first special figure determination information, the second big winning opening 14a is displayed. Even when a special game that is opened for a long period of time is performed three times, the same advantageous suggestion special game effect as described above may be performed.

  When a game is controlled in a low-probability / short-time state or a high-probability / short-time state, when it is determined that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 44a based on the first special figure determination information, A special game effect that suggests a disadvantage that suggests a low probability and short time after the special game ends from the beginning. Here, when a special game is performed in which the second grand prize opening 14a is opened at least once for a long period of time, it is not necessary to perform a disadvantage suggestion effect. You may make the production which suggests becoming a time-short state. In addition, when it is determined by the jackpot determination means 44a that a special game is to be performed based on the second special figure determination information, a special game that opens the second large winning opening 14a for a short period of time can be performed three times. Also at that time, the same disadvantage suggestion special game effect as described above may be performed.

  In this way, when the game is controlled in a low-probability / non-short-time state, the special game effect performed by the determination based on the first special figure determination information and the special game performed by the determination based on the second special figure determination information When the game is controlled in the performance, the low-probability / short-time state or the high-probability / short-time state, the determination based on the second special figure determination information and the special game effect performed by the determination based on the first special figure determination information It is possible to vary the special game effect performed by the case.

  The launch operation effect control means 62e of the special game effect control means 62 is a means for performing an effect related to the launch operation with the launch handle 7, and when the 1R-th special game is performed, toward the grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a. The special winning opening 13a, 14a (specific area) is again made when the first launch operation effect that promotes the launch of the game ball (so-called right-handed) is performed and the second R winning opening 14a is opened for a long time. 14f) is caused to perform a second launch operation effect (in a different aspect from the first launch operation effect) that prompts the game ball to be fired (so-called right-handed).

  For example, before the 1R-th is started (when the opening is being performed), “right-handed” is displayed on the image display device 17 as the first launch operation effect, and the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time. When the R immediately before the specific R to be performed is performed, “Aim at V by right-handed” is displayed on the image display 17 as the second firing operation effect.

  The pre-reading effect control means 63 determines whether or not to perform the pre-reading effect based on the determination result by the prior determination means 34c, and when it is determined that the pre-reading effect is to be performed, the special figure determination that is the target of the pre-reading effect. Before the special figure determination information is digested with respect to the information, a pre-reading effect that can increase the degree of expectation of jackpot is performed.

  Next, in order to achieve the functions of the respective means 30 to 37, 40 to 47, 50, and 60 to 63 shown in FIG. 6, the control device 20 (game control board 21 and each computer of the effect control board 23) executes. The main processing will be described based on a flowchart.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the game control board 21 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, random number update process (S1), switch process (S2) The symbol process (S3), the electric accessory process (S4), the prize ball process (S5), and the output process (S6) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the start port SW process executed in the switch process of S2, when the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), when the first special figure reservation number U1 is less than 4 ( S12; Yes), the first special figure holding number U1 is added to U1 + 1 (S13), and the big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value (first special figure determination information) are acquired and stored. Next, a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special figure reservation number increase command is set (S16).

  When the second start port SW11c is on (S17; Yes), when the second special figure reservation number U2 is less than 4 (S18; Yes), the second special figure reservation number U2 is added to U2 + 1 (S19). The big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value (second special figure determination information) are acquired and stored (S20), and then the preliminary determination process (S21) is executed, The figure holding number increase command is set (S22).

  In the pre-determination processing in S15 and S21, basically, processing equivalent to S38 and S39 in the special symbol processing described next with reference to FIG. 26 is performed. In S16 and S22, a special figure pending number increase command including pre-read information relating to the determination result of the pre-determination process in S15 and S21 is set. The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in the special symbol process executed in the symbol process of S3, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S31). If the determination of S31 is No, that is, the special game is not being executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (S32). If the determination in S32 is Yes, the process proceeds to S42.

  If the determination in S32 is No, it is determined whether or not the second special figure hold number U2 is 1 or more (S33). If the determination in S33 is Yes, the second special figure hold number U2 is subtracted from U2-1. (S34). If the determination in S33 is No, it is determined whether or not the first special figure hold number U1 is 1 or more (S35). If the determination in S35 is Yes, the first special figure hold number U1 is subtracted from U1-1. (S36). If the determination in S35 is No, a customer waiting setting process (S46) is executed. After execution of S34 or S36, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S37), a big hit determination process (S38) is executed, and subsequently, a variation mode selection process (S39) is executed.

  In the big hit determination process of S38, first, the big hit determination value of the special figure determination information having the highest digestion priority among the special figure determination information stored in the special figure holding storage means 32 is described with reference to FIG. In addition, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit specific value, and if it is a big hit specific value, based on the symbol determination value of the special figure determination information, as described with reference to FIG. When it is selected and set and the big hit determination value is not the big hit specific value, a lost symbol is set. The special figure determination information provided for the big hit determination process is deleted from the special figure holding storage means 32.

  In the variation mode selection process of S39, the symbol set in the jackpot determination process of S38, and the jackpot determination value and the reach determination value paired with the determination of whether or not the jackpot is determined, the variation pattern determination value, the first and first As described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, one of a plurality of variation times is selected and determined based on the number of 2 special figure holds and the current gaming state. Thereafter, the first or second special symbol is started to change (S40), and a special figure change start command including information on the determination symbol set in S38 and the change mode (change time) determined in S39 is set ( S41).

  Next, when the variation time determined in S39 has elapsed (S42; Yes), the first or second special symbol is suspended (S43), where the symbol set in S38 is the first or second symbol. It is displayed on the special figure indicator 19a or 19b. Subsequently, a special figure fluctuation stop command including the information of the determination symbol set in S38 is set (S44), and the stop process (S45) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the stop process of S45, when the low accuracy / short time state flag is ON, that is, when the low accuracy / short time state is set (S51; Yes), the low accuracy / short time state continuation count J is set. When J is subtracted from J-1 (S52) and the continuation count J becomes 0 (S53; Yes), the low-accuracy / short-time state flag is turned OFF (S54). If the high-accuracy / time-short state flag is ON, that is, if the high-accuracy / time-short state is set (S55; Yes), the high-accuracy / time-short state continuation count X is subtracted from X-1 (S56), and the continuation is continued. When the number of times X becomes 0 (S57; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state flag is turned OFF (S58).

  Next, in the case of a big win (S59; Yes), that is, when the big win symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicator 19a or 19b, the special game flag is turned ON (S60), and the low probability / short time state / The high-precision / time-short state continuation count J / X is reset to 0 (S61), and the low-precision / time-short state flag / high-precision / time-short state flag is turned OFF (S62). Thereafter, opening is started (S63), and an opening command including information on the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed is set (S64). When both the low accuracy / short time state flag and the high accuracy / short time state flag are OFF, the low accuracy / non-short time state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the special prize opening process executed in the electric accessory process of S4, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S71). If the determination of S71 is Yes, the special game is being opened. It is determined whether or not (S72). If the determination in S72 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the opening time has passed (S73), and if the determination in S73 is Yes, a special winning opening opening / closing pattern setting process (S74) is executed.

  In the big winning opening opening / closing pattern setting process of S74, the big winning opening opening / closing pattern corresponding to the type of the big winning symbol is set. The corresponding value is set. Here, as shown in FIG. 11, the maximum Rc = 9, the specified number Nc = 10, the specified time Tc = 30 seconds for normal R (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8R), the specific R (3, 6, 9R) is set to a specified time Tc = 0.1 second, 1 second or 30 seconds.

  On the other hand, if the determination in S72 is No, it is determined whether or not the special game is ending (S75). If the determination in S75 is No, it is determined whether any of the big winning mouths 13a and 14a is operating. (S76). If the determination in S75 is Yes, the process proceeds to S91. If the determination in S76 is No, the process proceeds to S77. If the determination in S76 is Yes, the process proceeds to S82.

  In S77, R is added to R + 1, and then an R start command is set (S78), and the operation of one of the special winning openings 13a, 14a is started (S79). In S79, when it is normal R, the first big prize opening 13a is opened, and when it is specific R, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Next, timing of the operating time T is started (S80), and the measurement of the number N of game balls won in the special winning openings 13a, 14a is started (S81).

  In the case of the specific R (3, 6, 9R), as described with reference to FIG. 10, the sorting device 14h is operated to open and close the specific area 14f, where the second big prize winning opening 14a is short-term. When opening, the possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f becomes very low, and when the second big prize opening 14a is opened in the middle period, the possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f is short-term. When the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long period of time, the possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f becomes very high.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the V winning process of S82, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S101; No), when R = 3, 6 or 9 (S102; Yes), the specific area SW14g is turned on. Then (S103; Yes), 1 is set to the V winning flag VF (S104), and the V winning command is set (S105).

  As shown in FIG. 28, after execution of the V winning process in S82, in S83, it is determined whether T ≧ specified time Tc. If the determination in S83 is No, it is determined whether N ≧ specified number Nc ( S84). If the determination in S83 is Yes or the determination in S84 is Yes, the operation of any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is terminated, that is, any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is closed (S85). It is reset to 0 (S86), and it is determined whether or not R = maximum Rc (S87).

  If the determination in S87 is Yes, ending is started (S88), an ending command is set (S89), and R is reset to 0 (S90). In S91, it is determined whether or not the ending time has elapsed. If the determination in S91 is Yes, a game state setting process (S92) is executed, and then the special game flag is turned OFF (S93).

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the game state setting process of S92, when the V winning flag VF = 1 (S111; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S112), and the high accuracy / short time state continues. The number X is set to 110 (S113), and the V winning flag VF is reset to 0 (S114). On the other hand, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S111; No), the low-accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S115), and 100 is set to the low-precision / short time state continuation number J (S116). After execution of S114 or S116, a gaming state command corresponding to the flag set in S112 or S115 is set (S117).

  As shown in FIG. 31, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 23 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, command reception process (S201), effect button process (S202) ), Command transmission processing (S203) is sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 32, in the command reception process of S201, when a hold number increase command is received (S211; Yes), prefetch information hold process (S212) that holds (stores) prefetch information included in the hold number increase command. ) Is executed, and subsequently, the hold number addition process (S213) is executed, and the hold number increase command is set (S214).

  Next, when a special figure change start command is received (S215; Yes), a prefetch information digesting process (S216) for digesting (erasing) the corresponding prefetch information from the prefetch information storage means 63 is executed, followed by symbol fluctuation. An effect selection process (S217) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 33, in the symbol variation effect selection process in S217, the received special diagram variation start command is analyzed (S231), and then the set effect mode (the low-probability / non-short-time effect shown in FIG. 34). Mode, low-accuracy / short time effect mode, or high-accuracy / short time effect mode) is referred to (S232), and the hold number subtraction process is executed (S233).

  Next, a symbol variation effect is selected (S234). Here, based on the information analyzed in S231 and the effect mode referenced in S232, as described with reference to FIG.・ In the non-short-time production mode, the low-precision / non-time-saving game production is selected. In the low-precision and short-time production mode, the low-precision / short-time game production is selected. A game effect is selected, and thereafter, a symbol variation effect start command including information on the selected symbol variation effect is set (S235).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32, when a special figure variation stop command is received (S218; Yes), a symbol variation effect end process (S219) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 35, in the process during the completion of the symbol variation effect of S219, the received special symbol variation stop command is analyzed (S241), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S242), and if the determination of S242 is No, it is set. The effect mode being performed is referred to (S243). Next, it is determined whether or not the low accuracy / short time effect mode is selected (S244). If the determination in S244 is Yes, the low accuracy / short time effect mode continuation number MJ is decremented by 1 (S245), and it is determined whether MJ = 0. (S246).

  On the other hand, if the determination in S244 is No, it is determined whether or not the high-precision / time-short effect mode is selected (S247). It is determined whether MX = 0 (S249). When the determination in S246 or S249 is Yes, the low-accuracy / non-short-time effect mode is set (S250). After execution of S250, or if the determination in S242 is Yes, or if the determination in S246, S247, or S249 is No, a symbol variation effect end command is set (S251).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32, when an opening command is received at the start of opening in the special winning opening process (see FIG. 26) (S220; Yes), a special game effect selection process (S221) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the special game effect selection process of S221, the opening command is analyzed (S261), the special game effect is selected based on the analyzed jackpot symbol information (S262), and the selected special game effect is selected. A special game effect start command including game effect information is set (S263).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32, the determination in S220 is No, or after the execution of S221, the special game effect in-process (S222) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 37, in the special game effect processing of S221, when a special game is being performed (S271; Yes), it is determined whether or not an R start command is received (S272), and when the determination of S272 is Yes, An R start effect command is set (S273). Next, it is determined whether or not the 1R, 4R, or 7R is started (S274). If the determination in S274 is Yes, the V notification completion flag VFb is referred to (S275). Based on the V notification completion flag VFb and the opening / closing pattern of the special winning openings 13a, 14a, one of the suggested effects A, B, C and the special effects A, B shown in FIG. 21 is selected (S276). The R effect start command including information on the effect that has been performed is set (S277).

  Here, when the V notification completion flag VFb is 0, the suggestion effect A is opened for a long time when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time at the next specific R, and the suggestion effect B is opened for a long time when the medium term is opened. In this case, the suggestion effect C is selected. When the V notification completion flag VFb is 1, the special effect A is selected when the second special prize opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the next specific R, and the special effect B is selected when the second prize opening is opened for the long term. The

  If the determination in S272 is No, it is determined whether it is the 3R, 6R, or 9R as shown in FIG. 38 (S281). If the determination in S281 is Yes, it is determined whether or not a V winning command is received. (S282). If the determination in S282 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the V winning flag VFa = 1 (S283), and if the determination in S283 is No, 1 is set in the V winning flag VFa (S284). If the determination in S283 is Yes, or after the execution of S284, it is determined whether or not the second big prize opening 14a is long-term open (S285). If the determination in S285 is Yes, whether or not the V notification completion flag VFb = 1 is determined. It is determined (S286). If the determination in S286 is No, a notification effect command is set (S287), and 1 is set in the V notification completion flag VFb (S288).

  On the other hand, if the determination in S281 is No, it is determined whether or not the 9th eye is finished (S289), and if the determination in S289 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the V winning flag VFa = 1 (S290). If the determination in S290 is Yes, the V winning flag VFa is reset to 0 (S291), and it is determined whether or not the V notification completion flag VFb = 1 (S292). If the determination in S292 is No, the final notification effect command is set (S293), and if the determination in S292 is Yes, the V notification completion flag VFb is reset to 0 (S294).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32, when an ending command is received at the start of ending in the big prize opening process (see FIG. 28) (S223; Yes), an ending effect selection process (S224) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 39, in the ending effect selection process of S224, the ending command is analyzed (S301), and the ending effect selection (S302) is performed. Therefore, one of the ending effects shown in FIG. 19 (3) is selected. Is selected, and an ending effect start command including information on the ending effect is set (S303).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32, when a gaming state command is received at the end of the ending in the big prize opening process (see FIG. 28) (S225; Yes), the effect mode setting process (S226) is executed. A customer waiting command reception process (S227) is executed.

  The computer of the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 controls the image display device 17, the speaker 27, the frame lamp 28 a, the panel lamp 28 b, and the movable accessory device 18 based on a command (command) received from the effect control board 23. By controlling, various game effects are performed mainly on display on the image display device 17.

  That is, when the special symbol is variably displayed, one of the plurality of symbol variation effects shown in FIG. 19 (1) is performed based on the symbol variation effect start command, and when the special game is being performed, the special symbol is displayed. One of a plurality of special game effects shown in FIG. 19 (2) is performed based on the game effect start command, and one of the plurality of ending effects shown in FIG. 19 (3) is determined based on the ending effect start command. Let me do it.

  In particular, in the special game effect, if any of the suggestion effects A, B, C and the special effects A and B are performed based on the R effect start command, and the notification effect command is received in the special game effect or the ending effect, Make a notification effect.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When the low-probability / non-short-time state is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to play the game by so-called left-handed firing that causes the game ball to fall on the left side of the center accessory 16. The first starting port 10 can be aimed by left-handed, and when the first special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the first starting port 10, the first special figure determination information is acquired. It is stored in the special figure storage unit 32.

  When the low accuracy / short time state or high accuracy / short time state is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the right side of the center object 16. A game can be performed by hitting and the second start port 11a can be aimed by making a right hit. When the number of reserved second figure is less than 4, and the game ball wins the second start port 11a, Determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure storage unit 32.

  In addition, the player can aim the gate 12 by right-handed, and when the number of reserved drawings is less than 4, when the game ball passes through the gate 12, the determination information of the usual diagram is acquired and stored in the stored general diagram storage means 42. Remembered. Here, first, the general symbol determination information stored in the general symbol hold storage means 42 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the variation of the normal symbol starts, and the winning lottery is performed by the digestion of the normal symbol determination information. In the case of winning, an auxiliary game is generated in which the second start opening 11a is opened after the symbol is hit by the normal display 19c and stops changing.

  When the low accuracy / short time state or the high accuracy / short time state is set, the high operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode, and a relatively large number of game balls are made to the second start port 11a by making a right turn. Therefore, it is possible to play a game while maintaining the number of owned game balls by right-handed. However, if the low probability / non-short-time state is set, even if the player hits the right hand, almost no winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10 can be expected, and the low operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode. Therefore, since it is almost impossible to expect game balls to win the second starting port 11a, the game is played while reducing the number of owned game balls by left-handed.

  Next, the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32. Are stored in the order in which they are acquired. However, if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is stored. The figure determination information is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information. If the bonus game lottery is performed by digesting the special figure determination information, and if the winner is won by the bonus game lottery, the bonus game symbols 13a and 14a are opened after the bonus game symbol is stopped fluctuating in the special signal indicators 19a and 19bc. A big hit game is generated.

  When the big hit game occurs, the player can aim at the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a by right-handed. In the jackpot game, a round game of 9R is performed, the first big prize opening 13a is opened in the normal R of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8R, and the second big prize is won in the specific R of 3, 6, 9R. The mouth 14a is opened. Regardless of the type of jackpot symbol for which fluctuation has been suspended, the first big prize opening 13a is opened for a long time in each normal R. However, depending on the type of jackpot symbol for which fluctuation has been suspended, the second big prize port 14a is short for each specific R. Open in any one of open, medium-term open and long-term open.

  With 3 specific Rs, the second grand opening 14a can be opened for a long time. When the R is 0 times, approximately 600 game balls can be acquired. When the R is once, approximately 700 game balls can be acquired. If it becomes, about 800 game balls can be acquired, and if it becomes 3 times, about 900 game balls can be acquired.

  In each specific R, the specific area 14f is opened and closed with the opening of the second big prize opening 14a, but the game ball is opened depending on whether the second big prize opening 14a is opened for short-term opening, medium-term opening, or long-term opening. The possibility of passing through the specific area 14f is different. That is, when the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a short time, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is very low, but when the middle game is opened, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f becomes somewhat high. When opened, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f becomes extremely high.

  Basically, when the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a short time, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f. Therefore, after the big hit game is finished, a low-accuracy / time-short state is set. Since 14f is passed, a high-precision / time-short state is set after the jackpot game is over. When the second big winning opening 14a is opened in the middle period, whether or not the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, that is, the high probability / short time state is set or the low probability / short time state is set after the big hit game ends. This depends on whether or not the game ball has won the second winning opening 14a in a timely manner.

  In other words, when a special game is being performed, the player must open the second grand prize winning opening 14a for a long period of time at each specific R so that a high-precision and short-time state is set after the special game ends. Or, even if it doesn't open for a long time, it expects to open in the medium term instead of short-term, and expects the second grand prize opening 14a to open for a long time in at least one specific R out of three specific R Thus, a special game can be performed.

  On the other hand, with regard to the special game effect, as shown in FIG. 22, a suggestion effect suggesting the opening / closing mode of the second big prize opening 14a of the 3R is performed from the 1R to 2R by the battle effect. The player expects a victory suggesting a long-term opening of the 2nd big prize opening 14a of the 3R by this 1R to 2R battle production (implying production C is performed), or to victory Even if it is not, a special game can be performed in the hope that it will be a draw that suggests the mid-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a of the 3R (the suggestion effect B is performed).

  When the suggestion effect C, which is a battle victory in the 1R to 2R, is performed, the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time in the 3R, and the game ball won in the second big prize opening 14a passes through the specific area 14f. Therefore, at the time of the passage, a notification effect is provided for notifying that the high-accuracy / short-time state is set after the end of the special game. On the other hand, when the suggestion effect A or B that is defeated or drawn is performed, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the 3rd round, so the player takes the second big prize at the next 6th round. It can be expected that the mouth 14a is opened for a long time.

  Then, the suggestion effect which suggests the opening-and-closing aspect of the 2nd big prize winning opening 14a of the 6R is performed by the battle effect next to the 4th to 5R. As with the 1R to 2R eyes, the player will win by suggesting the long-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a for the 6R through the 4R to 5R battle effects (the suggestion effect C is performed). Even if you do not expect to win or win, special games will be performed in the hope that it will be a draw that suggests the mid-term release of the 2nd big prize opening 14a of the 6R (suggested production B will be performed) be able to.

  When the suggestion effect C that results in a battle victory at the 4th to 5th R is performed, the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 6th R, and the game ball that won the second big prize opening 14a passes through the specific area 14f. Therefore, at the time of the passage, a notification effect is provided for notifying that the high-accuracy / short-time state is set after the end of the special game. On the other hand, when the suggestion effect A or B that is defeated or drawn is performed, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for the short term or the middle term at the 6th round, so the player takes the second big prize at the last 9th round. It can be expected that the mouth 14a is opened for a long time.

  Then, the suggestion effect which suggests the opening-and-closing aspect of the 2nd big winning opening 14a of the 9R is performed by the battle effect on the 7th to 8R. Like the 1R to 2R, 4R to 5R, the player wins by suggesting the long-term opening of the 9R second big prize opening 14a through the 7R to 8R battle effects (suggested effects). Even if you do not expect or win, you can expect a draw that suggests the mid-term opening of the 2nd big prize winning opening 14a of 9R (suggested production B will be performed) And can play special games.

  When the suggestion effect C that results in a battle victory at the 7th to 8th R is performed, the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 9th R, and the game ball that won the second big prize opening 14a passes through the specific area 14f. Therefore, at the time of the passage, a notification effect is provided for notifying that the high-accuracy / short-time state is set after the end of the special game. On the other hand, when a suggestion effect A or B that is a battle defeat or draw is performed, a revival effect is performed as an ending effect, that is, a notification effect is issued to notify that a high-precision / short-time state is set after the special game ends. I can expect that.

  In other words, even if you do not win once in the three battles, you can draw at least once, and after that draw, the second big prize opening 14a is open for the middle term. May have passed through the specific region 14f. In this case, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, the notification effect is not performed, and the revival effect is performed as the ending effect.

  On the other hand, if the suggestion effect C that is a battle victory is performed in the 1R to 2R, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time in the 3R, and the game ball passes the specific area 14f, the 6R in the 4R to 5R A special effect that suggests a ball for the eyes, and a special effect that suggests a 9R ball for the 7th to 8th eyes is performed instead of the suggested effect.

  In addition, when the suggestion effect C that is a battle victory is performed in the 4th to 5th eyes, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time in the 6th eye, and the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, the 9R in the 7th to 8th eyes A special performance suggesting the appearance of the eyes is performed instead of the suggestion. Then, as each special effect, a game can be performed in the hope that a special game B that suggests the presence of a ball will be played instead of a special game A that suggests that there is no ball.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the game ball that has entered the second grand prize opening 14a in the special game passes through the specific area 14f, the game can be controlled with high accuracy and short time after the special game is completed. As a premise, special game effects can be realized as well as opening and closing operations of the novel prize winning openings 13a and 14a that can enhance game performance and performance characteristics in special games.

  It should be noted that the number of R performed in the special game, the number of normal R, the number of specific R, and the like can be changed as appropriate. In each normal R, the first grand prize opening 13a may be opened for a short period or a medium period. Also, with one grand prize opening (only the second big prize opening), in normal R, that one big prize opening is opened for a long time, and in specific R, that one big prize opening is short-term opening or medium-term opening or The specific area 14f may be opened along with the opening and closing thereof as long as the opening is performed.

  As for the special effects performed in place of the suggestion effects, various effects may be employed in addition to the effects suggesting a specific R-out ball as long as they differ from the suggestion effects. Further, the revival effect may be performed not when the ending effect is performed but when the game is controlled in a highly accurate and time-saving state after the special game ends. In this case, first, a low-accuracy / short-time symbol variation effect may be performed, and after a revival effect, a high-accuracy / short-time symbol variation effect may be performed.

  In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines.
