  In addition, an out-port 28 for discharging the entered game ball to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is formed at the lowermost part of the game area YR2 of the game board YB. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, game balls that have not entered a device capable of entering a game ball (the first grand prize winning device 20 or the like) enter the out port 28 and are discharged out of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game board YB has a first downflow route R11 as a first route through which the launched game ball flows down toward the out port 28, and a route different from the first downflow route R11. Thus, a second flow down route R21 as a second route through which the launched game ball flows down toward the out port 28 is defined.

  The first flow down route R11 is a route that flows down toward the out port 28 while flowing down the left side of the rendering device ES disposed in the approximate center of the game board YB. Further, the second flow down route R21 is a route that flows down to the right side of the rendering device ES and flows down toward the out port 28. In FIG. 1, the first downstream route R11 and the second downstream route R21 are indicated by arrows, but the game balls flowing down the first downstream route R11 and the game balls flowing down the second downstream route R21 are not necessarily along the arrows. It does not indicate that it will flow down.

  Here, the arrangement of the first starting and entering device 15, the second starting and entering device 17, the first big winning device 20, the second big winning device 22 and the gate 23 in the game area YR2 of the game board YB will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the game board YB is divided into two regions, a left region VL and a right region VR, by dividing the game board YB into left and right parts in a front view. In this case, the game balls that flow down the first flow down route R11 flow down mainly in the left region VL. On the other hand, the game balls flowing down the second flow down route R21 flow down mainly in the right region VR.

  The first start ball entering device 15 is disposed in the left region VL. The game balls flowing down the second flow down route R21 flow down the right side of the production device ES, then flow down the right discharge route R22, and from the entrance where the game balls of the first start ball entering device 15 can enter. Flow down to the bottom. For this reason, it is not assumed that the game ball flowing down the second flow down route R21 enters the first start ball entering device 15. On the other hand, the game ball flowing down the first flow down route R11 may flow down to the upper part of the ball entrance of the first start ball entering device 15. For this reason, it is assumed that the game balls flowing down the first flow down route R11 enter the first start ball entering device 15.

  Further, the second starting ball entering device 17 is disposed in the right region VR. The game balls flowing down the first flow down route R11 flow down the left side of the rendering device ES, then flow down the left discharge route R12, and from the entrance where the game balls of the second start ball entering device 17 can enter. Flow down to the bottom. For this reason, it is not assumed that the game ball flowing down the first flow down route R11 enters the second start ball entering device 17. On the other hand, the game ball flowing down the second flow down route R <b> 21 may flow down above the entrance of the second starting ball entering device 17. For this reason, it is assumed that the game balls flowing down the second flow down route R <b> 21 enter the second start ball entering device 17.

  Further, the gate 23 is disposed in the right region VR. For this reason, when a game ball flows down the first flow down route R11, the ball does not enter the gate 23 and the normal winning lottery is not performed. Therefore, even if the game ball continues to be fired so as to flow down the first flow down route R11, the normal hit game is not generated.

  Further, the first big prize winning device 20 is arranged in the left region VL. The game balls flowing down the second flow down route R21 flow down the right side of the rendering device ES, then flow down the right discharge route R22, and flow down to a lower part than the first grand prize winning device 20. For this reason, it is not assumed that the game balls flowing down the second flow down route R <b> 21 enter the first grand prize winning device 20. On the other hand, the game balls flowing down the first flow down route R11 may flow down the left region VL to the position where the first big winning device 20 is disposed. For this reason, it is assumed that game balls flowing down the first flow down route R11 enter the first grand prize winning device 20. Further, the first grand prize winning device 20 is disposed on the downstream side of the first starting ball entering device 15 on the flow down path of the game ball flowing down the first flow down route R11.

  Further, the second big prize winning device 22 is arranged in the right region VR. The game balls that flow down the first flow down route R11 flow down the left side of the effect device ES, flow down the left discharge route R12, and flow down to the lower part of the second grand prize winning device 22. For this reason, it is not assumed that the game balls flowing down the first flow down route R11 enter the second grand prize winning device 22. On the other hand, the game ball flowing down the second flow down route R21 may flow down to the position where the second big prize winning device 22 is arranged, flowing down the right region VR. For this reason, it is assumed that the game balls flowing down the second flow down route R21 enter the second grand prize winning device 22. Further, the second grand prize winning device 22 is disposed on the downstream side of the second starting ball entering device 17 on the flow path of the game balls flowing down the second flow down route R21.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to generate a high-probability lottery state in which the winning probability of the big hit lottery is higher than usual. The high probability lottery state is continuously generated until the end condition of the high probability lottery state is satisfied. The “high probability lottery end condition” of the present embodiment is established by the occurrence of a big hit game. When the high-probability lottery state has occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Further, when the high probability lottery state has occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be capable of generating an increased entrance rate state in which the probability that a game ball will enter the second starting entrance device 17 is higher than usual. During the occurrence of the improved entrance rate, the opportunity (number of times and time) for the second starting entrance device 17 to be opened per unit time is increased compared to when the improved entrance rate state is not generated. Thus, the probability that a game ball enters the second start ball entering device 17 is increased. The entrance rate improvement state continues to occur until the end condition of the entrance rate improvement state is satisfied. The “termination condition for the improved entrance rate state” in the present embodiment is established by the occurrence of a big hit game.

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

  As shown in FIG. 2, the types of jackpots include privileged 16R specified jackpot, privilegeless 16R specified jackpot, special 6R specified jackpot, normal 6R specified jackpot, 16R unspecified jackpot and 6R unspecified jackpot.

  When a jackpot game based on any one of the bonus hits 16R specific jackpot, the bonusless 16R specific jackpot, and the 16R non-special jackpot is generated, 16 open games are performed. In addition, when a big hit game based on any of the special 6R specific big hits, the normal 6R specific big hit and the 6R non-special big hit is generated, six open games are performed.

  In all open games in the big hit game based on any one of 16R special big hit, no special 6R special big hit, 16R non-specific big hit, and 6R non-specific big hit, the first big winning device 20 is in an open state. On the other hand, in all open games in the jackpot game based on the privileged 16R specific jackpot or the normal 6R specific jackpot, the second big winning device 22 is in an open state. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the first big winning device 20 is controlled for the big hit game based on any one of the privilegeless 16R specific big hit, the special 6R specific big hit, the 16R non-specific big hit, and the 6R non-specific big hit. Corresponds to the jackpot game that occurs. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the jackpot game based on the privileged 16R specific jackpot or the normal 6R specific jackpot corresponds to the jackpot game that is generated when the second big winning device 22 is controlled.

  Incidentally, in all the open games in the big hit game, as the specified time, “a time when a specified number of game balls can be easily entered into the first big winning device 20 or the second big winning device 22 (for example, , “25 seconds”) ”. In addition, the prescribed number determined in the open game in which the first grand prize winning device 20 is opened and the prescribed number determined in the open game in which the second big prize winning device 22 is opened are different. ing. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second grand prize winning device 22 is in an open state rather than the specified number (in this embodiment, “7”) determined in the open game in which the first big prize winning device 20 is in the open state. Many predetermined numbers (in this embodiment, “8”) determined in the open game are determined.

  In addition, a high-probability lottery state is generated after the end of the big hit game based on one of the privileged 16R specific big hit, the bonus 16R specific big hit, the special 6R specific big hit, and the normal 6R specific big hit. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the 16R non-specific big hit or the 6R non-special big hit, the high-probability lottery state is not generated (in FIG. 2, indicated as “non-occurring”).

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the special 16 big jackpots or the 6R special big hit with bonuses, regardless of whether or not the high rounding rate is generated when the big hit is determined, the high rounding rate occurs. Is done. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on any of 16R non-special big hit, 16R non-special big hit, and 6R non-special big hit, it is related to whether or not the improved entrance rate is caused when the big hit is determined. No entry rate improvement state occurs (indicated as “non-occurrence” in FIG. 2).

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit, if the winning rate improvement state is not generated when the big hit is determined, the improved entering rate is not generated. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit, if the winning rate improvement state is generated when the big hit is determined, the improved winning rate is generated.

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first jackpot lottery is won, the type of jackpot is determined at a predetermined selection rate from among the privileged 16R specified jackpot, the bonusless 16R specified jackpot and the 16R unspecified jackpot. . Specifically, if the first big hit lottery is won, the bonus type is 16R specific big hit with a probability of 15%, the bonus without 16R special big hit with a probability of 65%, and the 16R non-specific big hit with a probability of 20% is the type of big hit As determined.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big hit lottery is won, the type of big hit with a predetermined selection rate from among the privileged 16R specific big hit, special 6R specific big hit, normal 6R specific big hit and 6R non-specific big hit Is determined. Specifically, when the second big hit lottery is won, there is a special 16R special big win with a probability of 35%, a special 6R special big win with a probability of 25%, a normal 6R specific big win with a probability of 20%, a probability of 20% 6R non-specific big hit is determined as the type of big hit.

  Further, in the effect symbol variation game of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a reach effect may be executed as a specific effect. The reach effect is executed in a reach state in which the same effect symbol is stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R, and the effect symbol is displayed in a varying manner on the middle symbol display device 11C. In addition, a symbol combination of effect symbols in which the same effect symbol is stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R is a reach symbol combination.

Next, based on FIG. 3, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a is connected to the electric accessory solenoid SOL1 and the big prize solenoids SOL2 and SOL3.

  A plurality of types of variation patterns are stored in the main control ROM 30b. The variation pattern can specify the time during which the special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol variation game (game time of the effect symbol variation game). In addition, the variation pattern can specify the contents of effects produced by the effect symbol display device 11, the liquid crystal display Dp, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp. The variation patterns include a variation pattern for a jackpot effect determined at the time of a big hit and a variation pattern for a loss effect determined at the time of a loss. In addition, the variation pattern for the offending effect includes the variation pattern for the offending specific effect including the specific effect (the reach effect in the present embodiment) in the effect content, and the fluctuation for the offending normal effect not including the specific effect on the effect content. There are patterns. In the variation pattern for the big hit effect of this embodiment, the specific effect is included in the effect content.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is occurring is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is not occurring. Further, the effect determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The effect determination value is a determination value used in the specific effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute the specific effect. The main control ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the normal hit lottery.

  The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not a high-probability lottery state is occurring. Further, the main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is occurring.

  Further, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a big hit determination random number, a production determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated.

Various information (random value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. For example, the sub-high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not the high-probability lottery state is occurring is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a secondary operation flag indicating whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is occurring.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes various processes at predetermined control cycles.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal output from the first start switch SW1, the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). Whether or not the first hold is determined. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26a so as to represent the first hold memory number after adding 1.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a having affirmed the first hold determination, various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a jackpot determination random number, an effect determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution) Random number) is acquired, and the value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number, and the special symbol input process is terminated. Thus, by storing the values of various random numbers in the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number, the first special symbol variation game (the effect symbol variation game which becomes the object of the first big hit lottery) Is suspended. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the main control RAM 30c that suspends execution of the first special symbol variation game serving as the first variation game functions as a first retention storage unit.

  Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal output from the second start switch SW2, the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (in this embodiment, “4”). Whether or not the second hold is determined. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second hold memory number and rewrites the second hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 26b so as to represent the second hold memory number after 1 addition.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a having affirmed the second hold determination determines various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a jackpot determination random number, an effect determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution). Random number) is acquired, and the value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number, and the special symbol input process is terminated. Thus, by storing the values of various random numbers in the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved memory number, the second special symbol variation game (the effect symbol variation game which becomes the object of the second big hit lottery) Is suspended. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the main control RAM 30c that suspends execution of the second special symbol variation game, which is the second variation game, functions as a second retention storage unit.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative and the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the reserved storage number exceeding the upper limit number, The special symbol input process is terminated without obtaining a random number value.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described based on FIG.

If the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 30a reads the first reserved memory number and determines whether the first reserved memory number is greater than “0 (zero)” (step). S12). If the determination result of step S12 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first reserved storage number (step S13). In step S13, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26a so as to represent the first hold storage number after 1 subtraction. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a performs a first lottery process (step S14) and ends the special symbol start process.

Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal effects based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value, and ends the first lottery process.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the determination result of step S12 is negative (first reserved memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a reads the second reserved memory number, and the second reserved memory number is “0 ( It is determined whether it is larger than "zero" "(step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second reserved storage number (step S16). In step S16, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 26b so as to represent the second hold memory number after 1 subtraction. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a performs a second lottery process (step S17) and ends the special symbol start process.

Here, the second lottery process in step S17 will be described.
In the second lottery process, the main control CPU 30a performs various random numbers (big hit determination random number, effect determination random number, special symbol allocation) stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” of the main control RAM 30c. Read the value of the random number for distribution and random number for distribution pattern distribution). Further, the main control CPU 30a that has read various random number values determines whether or not the read jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. 2nd jackpot lottery). The main control CPU 30a performs the second jackpot lottery using the jackpot determination value according to whether or not the high-probability lottery state is occurring, similarly to the first jackpot lottery. Thus, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that performs the second jackpot lottery functions as the second jackpot lottery means.

  When the second big winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines the big winning symbol to be stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device 25b based on the read special symbol distribution random number value. At this time, the CPU 30a for main control has a jackpot symbol corresponding to the privileged 16R specific jackpot with a probability of 35%, a jackpot symbol corresponding to the special 6R specific jackpot with a probability of 25%, and a normal 6R specific jackpot with a probability of 20%. The jackpot symbol corresponding to the 6R non-specific jackpot is determined with a probability of 20%.

Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for jackpot presentation based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value, and ends the second lottery process.

  When the second big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read effect determination random number value matches the effect determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. Then, a specific effect determination (specific effect lottery) is performed. When the special effect lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device 25b. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-specific identification effect based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value, and ends the second lottery process.

  On the other hand, when the specific effect lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device 25b. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal effects based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value, and ends the second lottery process.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the special symbol and the variation pattern in the special symbol start process outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of the effect symbol variation game at the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process to the effect control CPU 31a. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a, when instructing the start of the effect symbol variation game that is the target of the first big hit lottery, varies and displays the special symbol on the first special symbol display device 25a. The execution of the special symbol variation game is started. Further, the main control CPU 30a, when instructing the start of the production symbol variation game that is the target of the second big hit lottery, displays the second special symbol display device 25b by varying the special symbol to display the second special symbol display device 25b. The execution of the symbol variation game is started.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command instructing the end of the effect symbol variation game when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a displays the display contents of the first special symbol display device 25a or the second special symbol display device 25b which are displayed by changing the special symbols so that the determined special symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state. Control.

  As described above, when the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended, the execution is suspended regardless of whether the second special symbol variation game is suspended. One special symbol variation game is executed. On the other hand, even if the second special symbol variation game is put on hold, if the execution of the first special symbol change game is not put on hold, the second special symbol on which execution is put on hold. Floating game does not run. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the execution of either the first special symbol variation game or the second special symbol variation game is suspended, the first special symbol variation game becomes the second special symbol variation game. It is executed with priority over.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the execution of the first special symbol variation game by controlling the display mode of the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 25a performs the first game execution. It functions as a control means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the execution of the second special symbol variation game by controlling the display mode of the special symbol in the second special symbol display device 25b includes the second game execution control means. Function as. The main control CPU 30a that controls the execution of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game functions as a game execution control means.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a wins the big win lottery, the first big winning device 20 or the second big winning device 22 is opened and closed after the special symbol variation game to be won in the big win lottery is over. , And generate a jackpot game based on the determined type of jackpot. As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a for generating the big hit game functions as the big hit game generating means.

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

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

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that causes the entrance rate improvement state by setting information in the main operation flag functions as the entrance rate improvement state generation unit. Moreover, in this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state corresponds to a privilege advantageous for the player. In addition, since it is determined whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is caused by determining the type of jackpot, in this embodiment, it is determined whether or not a privilege is granted by determining the type of jackpot. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a that grants a privilege by causing an increased entry rate state functions as a privilege means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that causes a high probability lottery state by setting information in the main high-accuracy flag functions as a high probability lottery state generation unit.

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

  Specifically, when the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the effect symbols to be confirmed and stopped from the symbol combination for the jackpot effect. In addition, when the variation pattern for the offending specific effect is specified, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the effect symbols to be displayed in a fixed stop manner from the outlying symbol combinations including the reach symbol combination. The effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the effect symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the symbol combinations not including the reach symbol combination when the variation pattern for the loss normal effect is designated.

  When the change pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect symbol display device 11 so as to display the effect symbols in a variable manner and start the effect symbol change game. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents on the effect symbol display device 11 so that the symbol combination of the determined effect symbols is confirmed and stopped when the all symbol stop command is input.

  The effect control CPU 31a causes the effect symbol display device 11 to execute the reach effect in the effect symbol variation game when any one of the variation pattern for the big hit effect and the variation pattern for the offending specific effect is designated. Controls the display content of. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a stops and displays the same effect symbol on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R, and causes the middle symbol display device 11C to variably display the effect symbol and execute the reach effect. Let Thus, in this embodiment, the effect symbol display apparatus 11 which performs a reach effect during a special symbol change game functions as a reach effect execution means.

  In addition, when the jackpot game is generated, the effect control CPU 31a displays the display mode of the liquid crystal display Dp and the sound output of the speaker Sp so that the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot is executed during the jackpot game. The mode and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La are controlled.

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

The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute various production modes.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the effect mode, the non-entrance rate improvement effect mode that can be executed when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, and can be executed when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. There are various entrance rate improvement production modes. The non-entrance rate improvement effect mode includes a normal effect mode in which the effect symbol color is “white” and a latent effect mode in which the effect symbol color is “green”. In addition, the entrance rate improvement effect mode includes a crisis effect mode in which the color of the effect symbol is “purple” and a safety effect mode in which the color of the effect symbol is “red”. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a character image indicating the name of the effect mode being executed is displayed on the liquid crystal display Dp. For this reason, in addition to the color of the effect design, it is also possible to grasp the type of the effect mode being executed from the character image displayed on the liquid crystal display Dp.

Hereinafter, transition modes of various production modes will be described.
In the normal performance mode, if a big hit game is generated, and an increase in the entrance rate occurs after the end of the big hit game, the entrance rate of one of the crisis effect mode and the safe effect mode is set after the end of the big hit game. Transition to improved performance mode. On the other hand, if the big hit game is generated during the normal effect mode and the entrance rate improvement state is not generated after the big hit game is ended, the game shifts to the latent effect mode after the big hit game is ended. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the entrance rate improvement state occurs after the big hit game is generated in the normal performance mode is based on the privileged 16R specific big hit or the normal 6R specific big hit in the normal performance mode. A situation where a big hit game occurs. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a situation in which the increased entry rate state does not occur after the big hit game is generated during the normal performance mode means that there is no special 16R special big hit, special 6R specific big hit, and 16R non- A situation where a jackpot game based on either a specific jackpot or a 6R non-specific jackpot occurs.

  In the latent production mode, if a big hit game is generated and an increase in the entrance rate occurs after the end of the big hit game, the entrance rate of either the crisis production mode or the safe production mode after the big hit game ends Transition to improved performance mode. On the other hand, in the latent effect mode, if the big hit game is generated and the entrance rate improvement state is not generated after the big hit game ends, the latent effect mode continues after the big hit game ends. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation where the entrance rate improvement state occurs after the big hit game is generated during the latent production mode is the same as during the normal production mode, with the privilege 16R specific big hit during the latent production mode. Or the situation where the big hit game based on the 6R specific big hit is usually generated. Further, in the pachinko machine 10, the situation in which the entrance rate improvement state does not occur after the big hit game is generated during the latent production mode is the same as during the normal production mode, and the privilege 16R specific big hit is not given during the latent production mode. This is a situation in which a big hit game based on any one of the special 6R special big hit, 16R non-specific big hit and 6R non-specific big hit occurs.

  In addition, when the latent end condition is satisfied during the latent effect mode, the mode shifts to the normal effect mode. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the latent end condition is satisfied when a special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times without causing a big hit game in the latent effect mode.

  During the occurrence of the entrance rate improvement state, either the “crisis effect mode” or the “reliable effect mode” is executed. The crisis effect mode is executed while the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and the first special symbol variation game is being executed. On the other hand, the safety effect mode is executed while the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and the second special symbol variation game is being executed.

  If the jackpot game is generated during the entrance rate improvement effect mode and the entrance rate improvement state continues to occur after the end of the jackpot game, the entrance rate improvement effect mode continues after the end of the jackpot game. To do. On the other hand, when the jackpot game is generated during the entrance rate improvement effect mode, and the entrance rate improvement state is not continuously generated after the end of the jackpot game, the non-entry rate improvement effect mode ( In the present embodiment, the process proceeds to the normal performance mode. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the entrance rate improvement state is continuously generated even after the big hit game is generated during the entrance rate improvement effect mode means that there is a privilege 16R during the entrance rate improvement effect mode. This is a situation in which a big hit game based on any one of the special big hit, the special 6R specific big hit and the normal 6R specific big hit is generated. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the entrance rate improvement state is not continuously generated after the big hit game is generated during the entrance rate improvement effect mode is that no special 16R is specified during the entrance rate improvement effect mode. This is a situation where a big hit game based on any one of the big hit, 16R non-specific big hit and 6R non-specific big hit occurs.

Here, the control concerning execution of various production modes is demonstrated.
The effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect symbol display device 11 so that the effect symbol is displayed in white when the normal effect mode is executed. In addition, when the normal effect mode is executed, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the liquid crystal display Dp so as to display the character image of the “normal effect mode”.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a causes the latent effect mode to be executed when the big hit game is generated during the normal effect mode and the increased entry rate state is not generated after the big hit game is finished. The effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect symbol display device 11 so that the effect symbol is displayed in green when the latent effect mode is executed. The effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the liquid crystal display Dp so as to display the character image of the “latent effect mode” when executing the latent effect mode. In addition, during the latent effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect symbol display device 11 and the liquid crystal display Dp so as to shift to the normal effect mode when the latent end condition ends.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a activates the crisis effect mode or the safe effect mode when the big hit game is generated during the normal effect mode or the latent effect mode and the entrance rate improvement state is generated after the big hit game ends. Let it run.

  The effect control CPU 31a causes the crisis effect mode to be executed when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and when the first special symbol variation game is executed. The effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect symbol display device 11 so that the effect symbol is displayed in purple when the crisis effect mode is executed. In addition, when the crisis effect mode is executed, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the liquid crystal display Dp so as to display the character image of the “crisis effect mode”.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a causes the reassuring effect mode to be executed when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and when the second special symbol variation game is executed. The effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect symbol display device 11 so that the effect symbol is displayed in red when the safety effect mode is executed. Further, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the liquid crystal display Dp so as to display the character image of the “safe effect mode” when executing the safety effect mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a controls the execution of the effect mode.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the reach effect is always executed in the effect symbol variation game during the crisis effect mode. Furthermore, when the reach effect is executed in the crisis effect mode, the first special symbol variation game is displayed by the numbers indicated by the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R that form the reach state. Inform the player of at least how many times it will be executed. For example, when the first special symbol variation game is executed in a situation where the entrance rate improvement state has occurred and the first reserved memory number is “4”, the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R The number “4” effect symbol is stopped and displayed, and the reach effect is executed.

Hereinafter, the control performed by the main control CPU 30a and the effect control CPU 31a during the crisis effect mode will be described.
In the first lottery process (step S14) in the special symbol start process during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the offending specific effect regardless of the lottery result of the specific effect lottery. .

  The production control CPU 31a specifies the variation pattern for the off-specific production during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate, and when the first special symbol variation game is executed, the first reserved memory count before 1 subtraction. The symbol combination of the effect including the effect symbol combination of the reach that is constituted by the numerical effect symbols indicating the symbol is determined as the symbol combination of the effect symbols to be confirmed and stopped. Specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control stops and displays the effect symbol of the number indicating the first reserved memory number before 1 subtraction on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R, and the left and right symbols on the middle symbol display device 11C. It is decided to stop and display the effect symbols different from the effect symbols to be stopped and displayed on the display devices 11L and 11R.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a designates the variation pattern for the jackpot effect during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate and executes the first special symbol variation game when the first special symbol variation game is executed. A jackpot symbol combination constituted by a number effect symbol indicating a number is determined as a symbol combination of effect symbols to be confirmed and stopped.

Here, the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described together with the operation thereof.
First, the playability of the first special symbol variation game and the playability of the second special symbol variation game will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first jackpot lottery is won, a jackpot game based on any of the privileged 16R specific jackpot, the bonusless 16R specified jackpot, and the 16R unspecified jackpot is generated. The Out of the three types of jackpots, the bonus jackpot that causes the increased entrance rate after the jackpot game ends is only the special 16R special jackpot with a bonus. In addition, the probability that a big hit game based on the privileged 16R specific big hit is generated when the first big hit lottery is won is set to “15%”. Therefore, when the first big hit lottery is won, the probability that the entrance rate improvement state will occur after the big hit game ends is “15%”. Regardless of whether or not the entrance rate improvement state has occurred, if the first big hit lottery is won, the probability that the entrance rate improvement state will occur after the end of the big hit game is “15%”. .

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big hit lottery is won, a big hit game based on one of the privileged 16R specific big hit, the special 6R specific big hit, the normal 6R specific big hit, and the 6R non-specific big hit is generated. . Of the four types of jackpots, the jackpots that will surely cause an increase in the entrance rate after the jackpot game is finished are the privileged 16R specified jackpot and the normal 6R specified jackpot. In addition, when winning the second big hit lottery, the probability that a big hit game based on a special 16R special big hit or a normal 6R specific big win will be set to “55% (= 35% + 20%)”. Therefore, when the second big hit lottery is won, the probability that the entrance rate improvement state will occur after the big hit game ends is at least “55%”.

  However, when the second big hit lottery is won while the state where the winning rate is improved, the improved winning rate is generated even after the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit. For this reason, when the winning rate improvement state has occurred, when the second jackpot lottery is won, the probability that the winning rate improvement state will occur after the end of the jackpot game is “80% (= 35% + 25 % + 20%) ”.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it can be expected that the winning state of the ball winning rate will be generated after the big hit game is completed if the second big hit lottery is won rather than the first big hit lottery. . In other words, when the winning rate improvement state has occurred, when the first jackpot lottery is won, the winning rate improvement state is even after the end of the jackpot game than when the second jackpot lottery is won. Cannot be expected to occur continuously. For this reason, the execution of the first special symbol variation game when the entering rate improvement state is occurring increases the sense of crisis that the entering rate improvement state is not continuously generated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big hit lottery is won, the probability that any one of the bonus-free 16R specific big win and the 16R non-specific big win is determined is “85% ( = 65% + 20%) ”. When the first big hit lottery is won, the probability that any one of the bonus-free 16R specific big win and the 16R non-specific big win is determined is the probability that the first big winning device 20 will be opened. Equivalent to.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big hit lottery is won, the probability that either the special 6R specific big hit or the 6R non-specific big win is determined is “45%”. The probability that one of the special 6R specific big win and 6R non-specific big win is determined when the second big win lottery is won corresponds to the probability that a big hit game in which the first big winning device 20 is opened is generated. To do.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is more difficult to generate a big hit game in which the first big prize winning device 20 is in an open state when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won. ing. In other words, rather than winning the first jackpot lottery, the winner of the second jackpot lottery is less likely to hold the execution of the first special symbol variation game during the jackpot game that is triggered by the winning of the prize. Therefore, it is difficult to increase the sense of crisis that the improved entrance rate will not occur continuously.

Next, a game when the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring and a game when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, it is difficult to win the normal lottery, so the second start entrance device 17 is unlikely to be in the open state. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring, the game ball is launched so as to flow down the first flow down route R 11, and a game is performed.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring, it is easy to win the normal winning lottery, so the second start entrance device 17 is likely to be in the open state. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring, the game ball is launched so as to flow down the second flow down route R21, and a game is performed.

  As described above, the first special symbol variation game is mainly executed when the entering rate improvement state has not occurred, while the second special symbol variation game has occurred when the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. Is mainly executed.

  However, even if the entrance rate improvement state occurs after the end of the big hit game, if the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the big hit game, it is more than the second special symbol variation game. The first special symbol variation game is executed with priority.

  For this reason, if a state where the entrance rate improvement is generated after the end of the jackpot game, the state where the entrance rate improvement state is continuously generated occurs when the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the jackpot game. There is a growing sense of crisis about not being done. In such a situation, the pachinko gaming machine 10 notifies the player that the first special symbol variation game is being executed by executing the crisis effect mode, and the entrance rate improvement state is continuously increased. Inform the player that there is a growing sense of crisis about not being born. Thus, in the present embodiment, the crisis effect mode and the effect symbol variation game in the crisis effect mode correspond to the notification effect. In the present embodiment, the effect symbol display device 11 and the liquid crystal display Dp that execute the crisis effect mode, and the effect symbol display device 11 that executes the effect symbol variation game in the crisis effect mode function as effect execution means. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the execution of the crisis effect mode and controls the execution of the effect symbol variation game in the crisis effect mode functions as an effect control means.

Here, an assumed situation will be described as a situation where the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the big hit game.
As described above, since the game ball is fired so as to flow down the first flow down route R11 when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended. Therefore, if the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the production symbol variation game triggered by the winning of the first jackpot lottery when the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred, The first special symbol variation game whose execution is suspended is preferentially executed after the big hit game ends. As described above, in a situation where a game state in which the entrance rate improvement state does not occur is changed to a game state in which the entrance rate improvement state occurs, the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the big hit game. Can be assumed.

  In addition, even if the winning rate improvement state has occurred and the second big hit lottery is won, when the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit is generated, the first big win The device 20 is opened. In order to enter the game ball into the first grand prize winning device 20, it is necessary to fire the game ball so that the game ball flows down the first flow down route R11. For this reason, when a big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit is generated, the game ball launched so as to flow down the first flow down route R11 enters the first start ball entering device 15, thereby There is a possibility that execution of one special symbol variation game is suspended. Therefore, even if the second big hit lottery is won in a situation where the execution of the first special symbol variation game is not put on hold, the first big prize winning device 20 is in an open state in the big hit game that is triggered by the win. Then, it is assumed that the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended during the jackpot game. In this way, during the big hit game, the first large game ball is arranged so that the game ball flowing down the same first flow down route R11 as the route through which the game ball flowing down can enter the first starting ball entering device 15 can enter. In the situation where the winning device 20 is in the open state, it can be assumed that the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended at the end of the big hit game.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a game characteristic that the first special symbol variation game is preferentially executed over the second special symbol variation game. Furthermore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is more likely to enter the second big hit lottery than the first big win lottery, thereby increasing the possibility that the improved entrance rate will occur. The game has a game property that it is easy to raise a sense of crisis that the entrance rate improvement state is not continuously generated by performing the first big hit lottery in the improvement rate of the baseball rate.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 performs the first big hit lottery after the transition from the gaming state in which the entrance rate improvement state has not occurred to the gaming state in which the entrance rate improvement state has occurred. It has a playability that raises a sense of crisis that the rate improvement state does not occur continuously. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has the first special symbol during the generated jackpot game even when the second special symbol variation game is mainly executed due to the occurrence of the improved entrance rate. Execution of a variable game may be put on hold. In this case, after the big hit game is finished, the first big hit lottery is performed, and it has a game property that raises a sense of crisis that the entrance rate improvement state is not continuously generated.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is more likely to generate a big hit game in which the first big prize winning device 20 is in an open state, and the big hit game ends when the first big hit lottery is won than when the second big hit lottery is won. After the first big hit lottery is performed, it has a game property that it is easy to raise a sense of crisis that the entrance rate improvement state does not continuously occur. In other words, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a game characteristic that, depending on the type of jackpot lottery to be won, the chance of occurrence of a crisis that the state of improving the entrance rate is not continuously generated after the jackpot game ends is changed .

  Incidentally, in the situation where the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and the execution of the first special symbol variation game is not suspended, the second special symbol variation game is continuously executed. Under such circumstances, when the game ball flows down the first flow down route R11 and enters the first start ball entering device 15, the second special symbol variation game is continuously executed. Since the first special symbol variation game is temporarily executed preferentially, the safety effect mode is shifted to the crisis effect mode. At this time, from the situation where the entrance rate improvement state is likely to occur continuously, it will temporarily shift to the situation where the entrance rate improvement state is difficult to occur continuously, and whether or not the big hit lottery was won Can increase the degree of attention. Moreover, the launch handle H can be carefully and reliably rotated so that the game ball that has been launched flows down the second flow down route R21 so as not to fall into such a situation. Note that in a gaming machine in which the second special symbol variation game is executed with priority over the first special symbol variation game, even if the game ball enters the first start ball entering device 15 as described above. If the game ball continues to enter the second start ball entering device 17, it is possible to avoid the first special symbol variation game from being executed. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the first special symbol variation game is preferentially executed over the second special symbol variation game, the first special symbol variation game is triggered by having entered the first start ball entering device 15. Since it is impossible to avoid the execution of the special symbol variation game, the firing handle H can be rotated more carefully and surely.

Here, based on FIGS. 6A to 6G, a situation in which the development of the game after the big hit game is different depending on the big hit game generated during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6A, it is assumed that the second big hit lottery is won during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), when a big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit is generated, the first big winning device 20 is opened, so that the game flows down the first downflow route R11. A ball is fired.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6C, during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit, the game ball flowing down the first flow down route R11 enters the first start ball entering device 15, The execution of one special symbol variation game is put on hold.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), after the big hit game based on the special 6R specific big hit, the first reserved memory number is “0 or more”, so the first special symbol variation game has priority. Executed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), after winning the second big hit lottery, when the big hit game based on the 6R specific big hit is generated, the second big winning device 22 is opened, A game ball is fired so as to flow down the two downstream routes R21.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the normal 6R specific big hit, as long as the launched game ball flows down the second flow down route R21, the first start ball entering device 15 is reached. Since the game ball does not enter, the execution of the first special symbol variation game is not suspended.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6 (g), after the big hit game based on the normal 6R specific big hit, the first reserved memory number is “0”, so the second reserved memory number is “0 or more”. In this case, the second special symbol variation game is executed.

Next, based on FIGS. 7A to 7C, the effect symbol variation game in the crisis effect mode will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), during the crisis production mode, the first three special symbol variation games (including the first special symbol variation game being executed) When the symbol variation game is executed, the effect symbol of the number [3] is stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R in the effect symbol variation game, and the reach effect is executed. At this time, when the big hit lottery is won, the big win symbol combination constituted by the effect symbols of the number [3] is fixedly displayed. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the outlier symbol combination including the reach symbol combination constituted by the number [3] effect symbols is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the big hit lottery is not won, the first special symbol variation game is executed, and the first special symbol variation game including the first special symbol variation game is executed. Since the special symbol variation game is executed twice, the effect symbol of the number [2] is stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R in the effect symbol variation game, and the reach effect is executed. At this time, when the big hit lottery is won, the big hit symbol combination constituted by the effect symbols of the number [2] is displayed in a fixed stop state. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the outlier symbol combinations including the reach symbol combinations constituted by the number [2] effect symbols are fixedly displayed.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the big hit lottery is not won, the next first special symbol variation game is executed, and the first special symbol variation game is the final game. Therefore, the effect symbol of the number [1] is stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display devices 11L and 11R in the effect symbol variation game, and the reach effect is executed. At this time, when the big hit lottery is won, the big win symbol combination constituted by the effect symbols of the number [1] is displayed in a fixed stop state. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the symbol combination of the detachment including the symbol combination of the reach constituted by the effect symbol of the number [1] is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  During the crisis production mode, reach production is executed in all production symbol variation games, so as if there is a high possibility that the jackpot symbol combination will be confirmed and stopped in all production symbol variation games, It can be shown to the player. As a result, it effectively increases the sense of crisis that the entrance rate improvement state will not occur continuously.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) If execution of the first special symbol variation game (first variation game) and execution of the second special symbol variation game (second variation game) are suspended, the first special symbol variation game (first variation game) The symbol variation game is executed with priority. By executing each special symbol variation game whose execution is suspended by such an execution method, novel gameplay can be provided.

  Further, a first game ball is arranged on the game board YB so that a game ball flowing down the same route as a route in which the game ball flowing down can enter the first start ball entering device 15 (non-variable start ball entry means) can enter. When a big hit game in which the big winning device 20 (special winning means) is opened is generated, there is a high possibility that the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended during the big hit game occurrence, and the number of times is also determined. Easy to increase. As a result, when a big hit game in which the first big winning device 20 is opened is generated, there is a high possibility that the first special symbol variation game is preferentially executed after the big hit game is finished. As described above, the first special symbol variation game is executed preferentially among the special symbol variation games that are suspended, and the first special symbol variation game is easily suspended during the big hit game. By configuring, it is possible to widen the range of playability and provide novel playability.

  (2) When winning the first jackpot lottery, it is more difficult for a player to be given a privilege than when winning the second jackpot lottery (an increase in the entrance rate is unlikely to occur). Configured. In the gaming machine configured as described above, when the first special symbol variation game is preferentially executed among the special symbol variation games whose execution is suspended, the first jackpot lottery in which a privilege is not easily given is prioritized. Done. In particular, a first game ball is arranged on the game board YB so that a game ball flowing down the same route as a route in which the game ball flowing down can enter the first start ball entering device 15 (non-variable start ball entry means) can enter. When a big hit game in which the big winning device 20 (special winning means) is opened is generated, the first big win lottery is likely to be preferentially performed after the big hit game ends, and the number of times is high. It is easy to become. As described above, when a big hit game in which the first big winning device 20 is opened is generated, the first big win lottery and the second big hit lottery are adversely affected for the player after the big hit game ends. It is possible to provide a novel gameability that the possibility that the big hit lottery will be given priority is increased.

  (3) When winning the first jackpot lottery, it is more unlikely that a higher entry rate will occur after the end of the jackpot game that was triggered by the winning than when winning the second jackpot lottery. Configured. In the gaming machine configured as described above, when the first special symbol variation game is executed preferentially among the special symbol variation games whose execution is suspended, even if winning, it is difficult for the entry rate improvement state to occur. The first big hit lottery will be preferentially performed. In particular, a first game ball is arranged on the game board YB so that a game ball flowing down the same route as a route in which the game ball flowing down can enter the first start ball entering device 15 (non-variable start ball entry means) can enter. When a big hit game in which the big winning device 20 (special winning means) is opened is generated, the first big win lottery is likely to be preferentially performed after the big hit game ends, and the number of times is high. Easy to be. For this reason, when a big hit game in which the first big winning device 20 is controlled is generated, even if the winning rate improvement state is generated after the big hit game is finished, by winning the first big hit lottery There is a high possibility that the entrance rate improvement state will end. As described above, depending on how long the execution of the first special symbol variation game is deferred during the big hit game, the probability that the increased entry rate state is continuously generated even after the big hit game is generated changes. It can provide innovative gameplay.

  (4) When the first big win lottery is won, the first big win device 20 (first special pitching means) is opened more than when the second big hit lottery is won. It was constructed so that it was easy to occur. In addition, the first grand prize winning device 20 allows a game ball that flows down the same route as a route in which a flowing game ball can enter the first start ball entering device 15 (non-variable start ball entering means) to play a game. Arranged on the board YB. Accordingly, when the game ball is fired so as to flow down the first flow down route R11 (first route) in order to make the game ball enter the first grand prize winning device 20, the game is made to the first start ball entering device 15. It is assumed that a ball enters. As a result, when winning the first jackpot lottery, it is more likely that the first jackpot lottery will be performed after the jackpot game ends than when winning the second jackpot lottery. It is easy to become. In this way, it is possible to provide a novel gameability in which the number of opportunities for the first jackpot lottery varies after the jackpot game ends depending on the type of the jackpot lottery selected.

  In addition, the first grand prize-winning device 20 and a game board that allows game balls that flow down the same route as a route that allows a game ball flowing down to enter the second start ball entering device 17 (variable start ball entering means). Depending on which one of the second big winning devices 22 arranged in YB is opened in the big hit game, there is a possibility that a state of improving the winning rate that has occurred after the big hit game is continuously generated. Change. As described above, depending on which one of the first big winning device 20 and the second big winning device 22 is opened, a winning game is completed after the big winning game is ended. It is possible to provide a novel gameability in which the ease changes (the possibility that the privilege is continuously granted changes).

  (5) When the entrance rate improvement state occurs, the entrance rate of the game balls to the second start entrance device 17 (variable start entrance means) increases, and therefore the second start entrance device 17 It is assumed that the game ball is fired so as to flow down the second flow down route R21 aiming at entering the ball. However, since the first special symbol variation game (first variation game) is preferentially executed, the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended even if the entrance rate improvement state occurs. If so, the first special symbol variation game is executed prior to the second special symbol variation game (second variation game). In addition, when winning the first jackpot lottery, the probability of an improved entrance rate after the end of the jackpot game that is triggered by the winning is lower than when winning the second jackpot lottery. . Therefore, by executing the crisis effect mode (notification effect), by notifying the player that the first special symbol variation game is being executed, that is, the first big hit lottery has been performed, When winning the lottery, it is possible to provide a novel gameability that allows the player to recognize that there is a low probability that an entrance rate improvement state will occur.

  Further, in a general pachinko gaming machine, the second special symbol variation game is preferentially executed when the entrance rate improvement state is occurring. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the second special symbol variation game is being executed by executing the crisis effect mode during the occurrence of the improved entrance rate.

  (6) In the effect symbol variation game (notification effect) in the crisis effect mode, the remaining number of times of the first special symbol variation game to be continuously executed is notified to the player by the effect symbols constituting the reach symbol combination. I tried to do it. As a result, the player is notified of the number of special symbol fluctuation games in which the crisis that the probability of continuously increasing the entrance rate is low is low. In this way, by notifying the player of the number of special symbol variation games in which the crisis continues, together with the first special symbol variation game that is being executed, the remaining first special symbol variation game that is pending execution It is possible to provide innovative gameplay that can increase the level of attention to the game and entertain the player.

  (7) In the crisis effect mode, the reach effect is always executed in the effect symbol variation game during the execution of the first special symbol variation game. The reach effect is a state (hearing state) one step before that it is generally notified that it will be a big hit. For this reason, the first big hit lottery is won and the player is disadvantaged more than the case where it is informed that the reach effect is not executed and the game is simply lost. It is possible to provide a novel gameability that can effectively enhance the sense of crisis and to entertain the player.

  (8) The first starting and entering device 15 (non-variable starting entering means) is provided by the first big winning device on the flow path of the game ball flowing down the first flow down route R11 in the game area YR2 of the game board YB. Also placed upstream. As a result, even if the first big prize winning device 20 is in an open state during the occurrence of the big hit game, the game ball enters the first starting ball entering device 15 by the first big prize winning device 20 being in the open state. The situation (or the situation where it is difficult to enter the ball) can be avoided. As a result, when the first big winning device 20 is opened during the big hit game occurrence, it is possible to avoid a situation where it is difficult to hold the execution of the first special symbol variation game during the big hit game occurrence. It becomes easy to realize playability.

  (9) While the entrance rate improvement state is occurring and the first special symbol variation game is being executed (in the crisis effect mode), the variation pattern is set so that the reach effect is executed in the effect symbol variation game. Configured to be determined. In this way, by changing the type of the variation pattern determined according to the situation, it is possible to play the effect design variation game with the optimum content for each situation.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the first big win lottery is won, the big hit game in which the first big prize winning device 20 is in an open state is less likely to occur compared to the case where the second big win lottery is won. You may comprise. In addition, when the first big winning lottery is won, the probability that the first big winning device 20 will be in an open state is generated, and when the second big winning lottery is won, the first big winning device 20 is released. The probability that a big hit game that becomes a state is generated may be the same probability.

  -In the said embodiment, when winning the 1st big hit lottery, you may comprise so that a entering rate improvement state may arise easily compared with the case where the 2nd big hit lottery is won. In such a configuration, it is advantageous for the player that the first special symbol variation game is executed after the jackpot game is finished (the first jackpot lottery is performed). In addition, when comprised as mentioned above, even if it does not alert | report to a player that the 1st special symbol fluctuation | variation game is running (even if it is not comprised so that a notification effect is executable), at the time of a big hit game end By executing the first special symbol variation game, it is possible to provide a novel gameability in which a situation advantageous to the player occurs.

  In the above embodiment, the probability that a high-probability lottery state will occur when the first jackpot lottery is won differs from the probability that a high-probability lottery state will occur when the second jackpot lottery is won. It may be allowed. For example, it may be configured such that a high-probability lottery state is more likely to occur when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won.

  -In the said embodiment, you may arrange | position the privilege entrance which can permit the entrance of a game ball during occurrence of a big hit game. A high probability lottery state occurs after the jackpot game ends when a game ball enters the bonus entrance during the jackpot game, while a game ball enters the bonus entrance during the jackpot game. If not, a high-probability lottery state may not be generated after the jackpot game ends. Furthermore, the probability that a game ball is allowed to enter the bonus entrance during the jackpot game that was triggered by the winning of the first jackpot lottery and the jackpot that was triggered by the winning of the second jackpot lottery The probability that the game ball is allowed to enter the bonus entrance during the game may be different. Note that whether or not game balls are allowed to enter the bonus entrance may be associated with the type of jackpot. For example, even when a bonus entrance is arranged inside the big winning device and the big winning device is associated with opening of the big winning device and the big winning device associated with not opening the big winning device is provided. Good. In addition, “a state where game balls are allowed to enter the privilege entrance” is not limited to “a state where game balls are allowed to enter the privilege entrance”, It also includes a state in which the time when the game ball can enter the game is short (time when the game ball is not expected to enter the bonus entrance).

  -In the above embodiment, the probability that a winning rate improvement state occurs when winning the first jackpot lottery, and the probability that a winning rate improvement state occurs when winning the second jackpot lottery, May have the same probability.

  -It is not necessary to perform all the production modes in the said embodiment. For example, the non-entrance rate improvement effect mode and the entrance rate improvement effect mode may each be one type. Further, the production mode itself may not be executed.

  In the above embodiment, a prize ball that can be obtained by a player during a jackpot game that occurs when the first jackpot lottery is won than during a jackpot game that occurs when the second jackpot lottery is won You may comprise so that the number of may increase easily. In addition, the number of prize balls that a player can acquire during the jackpot game that is generated when the second jackpot lottery is won is larger than that during the jackpot game that is generated when the first jackpot lottery is won. You may comprise so that it may become easy.

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

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the aspect which alert | reports the remaining frequency | count of the 1st special symbol fluctuation game performed continuously.
