Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol, an effect display device that displays a predetermined effect, a starting point that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol, and an electronic symbol that relates to a normal symbol. There are through-chuckers that trigger the lottery and electric tulips that open and close at the entrance of the start opening (ordinary electric accessories). Special symbols are given when game balls launched toward the game area win a prize at the start opening. The electronic lottery is performed, and the special symbol display device displays the mode in which the special symbol is changed and then stopped to notify the result of the electronic lottery.

  Further, in synchronization with the variable display of the special symbol, a plurality of effect symbols (designated as a dummy symbol, which is used for the effect) are displayed in a variable manner on the effect display device so that various effects are performed. When the result of the electronic lottery is a big hit (per special figure), these effect symbols are stopped and displayed in a predetermined stop mode (for example, a mode in which three identical symbols stop together). Thus, the player is notified that it is a big hit. When the jackpot is won, a jackpot game advantageous to the player is provided. In this jackpot game, the game device enters the big winning opening exposed by opening and closing the attacker device (special electric accessory) a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  There are several types of jackpots. For example, there are two types of jackpots with probability fluctuations (so-called probabilistic hits), which are more advantageous to the player than normal hits, and the jackpot probability increases after the jackpot ends (so-called probable hits). Generally, at least it is prepared. If this type of pachinko machine is won per chance, the jackpot probability will increase, so the jackpot will be extended. In other words, the number of consecutive jackpots depends on whether or not the winning combination is won. Therefore, the player plays the game while expecting to win the chance per chance. The pachinko machine of the type that depends on whether or not the number of consecutive jackpots will be won per chance change will be referred to as a “probability change machine” in the following description.

  In addition, recently, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a pachinko machine in which a big hit can be continuously acquired up to a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, seven times) once the big hit is reached. Since this pachinko machine can acquire a large number of jackpots as one set with a single jackpot, it has a different appeal from the probabilistic machine and is supported by many players. The pachinko machine of the type that can acquire a plurality of jackpots in one set is referred to as a “limiter machine” in the following description.

  In the limiter machine described in Patent Document 1, when winning a jackpot, a symbol that is stopped and displayed on the variable display device (effect display device) is displayed in a linked manner with the number of jackpots. Yes. For example, in the case of a limiter machine in which the upper limit number is set to 7 and the jackpot is played 7 times, the seventh display is displayed on the variable display device. The player who sees this display is very excited to learn that he can win seven consecutive jackpots. As described above, according to Patent Document 1, the player can know the number of consecutive jackpots by the number of symbols displayed on the variable display device. Can enjoy.

JP 2008-295759 A (paragraphs 0136, 0204, etc.)

  Since the probability change machine has a game characteristic that allows jackpots to be continuously played as long as winning per winning change is continued, the player can make jackpots with his skill and luck. However, the limiter machine has a fixed number of jackpots once it hits the jackpot due to the characteristics of the game, so the number of jackpots cannot be increased with the skill and luck of the player like the probabilistic machine. . Therefore, if the number of consecutive jackpots is displayed using the stop symbol as in Patent Document 1, then the game will be a simple game in which only the jackpot for the number of displayed times is obtained. It was difficult to give an impression to the player as if he had made a big hit with his skill and luck.

  Therefore, it may be possible to make the display of the stop symbol different from the number of consecutive jackpots so as not to know how many times the jackpot remains (that is, how many times the limiter remains). For example, in the example of Patent Document 1, when the jackpot remains five times, the stop symbol is displayed as the third round. A so-called gaze effect is performed. Then, the player thinks that there are only three jackpots left, but internally, there are five more jackpots left, so after the three jackpots have ended, a message saying that “the jackpot still remains” is displayed. If the stage is performed, the player can be greatly excited.

  On the other hand, the limiter machine has a characteristic that an upper limit is set for the number of consecutive jackpots as described above. When the jackpot is set as one set, this time the jackpot is the first time), the player is told that "this jackpot is the first time and all the jackpots for the upper limit can be earned" Suggesting that attracting players to the game is as important as staging. For example, in Patent Document 1, because the limiter machine has an upper limit set to 7 times, displaying a stop symbol with a 7th stop when the first big hit is displayed as a stop design with a 3rd stop. It is as important in production as performing a gaze production.

  Here, once it is suggested that “this jackpot is the first time and all the jackpots for the maximum number of times can be obtained”, whatever gaze production will be performed at the next, ... Because the player already knows how many more jackpots have been left, the gaze production will not make any sense. For example, in the case of a limiter machine of 7 times as in Patent Document 1, if the stop symbol display at the time of the big hit is a doublet of the seventh, it is possible to acquire seven more big hits including the current big hit The player will know. Therefore, even if the stop symbol is displayed with, for example, a third round at the next jackpot, the player knows that the remaining number of jackpots is six. It doesn't make any sense.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and the purpose of the present invention is in a pachinko machine that notifies the number of remaining jackpots depending on the stop mode. The purpose of this is to make it possible to distinguish the subsequent stop mode between the case where it is indicated that “all jackpots of minutes can be acquired” and the case where it is not.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a first start port and a second start port provided in the game area, and a game ball at the first start port. The first special symbol lottery means to draw a lottery for the special design on the occasion of winning the prize, and the special symbol related to the winning when the special symbol lottery is won by the first special symbol lottery means The first special symbol type determining means for determining the type of the second symbol, the second special symbol lottery means for performing a lottery regarding whether or not the special symbol is won, when the game ball is won at the second starting port, and the second When a special symbol lottery means a lottery, a special symbol type determining means for determining the type of the special symbol related to the winning is provided in the game area, and a game ball can pass through the inside. This through-chucker and this through Triggered by the passing of the game ball through the jackpot, the normal symbol lottery means for performing the lottery to determine whether or not the normal symbol is true and the entrance of the second starting port, and the lottery by the normal symbol lottery means A normal electric accessory that opens and closes when winning and makes it easy to win a game ball to the second starting port, a special electric accessory provided in the game area, and the type of the determined special symbol In response to this, the jackpot game control means for providing a jackpot game by opening and closing the special electric accessory a predetermined number of times, and displaying various effects, and stopping after changing a plurality of effect symbols for a predetermined time According to an aspect, the first special symbol lottery means and the effect display device that displays the lottery result by the second special symbol lottery means, and the effect display control means for controlling the display state of the effect display device, The normal symbol lottery means is a normal symbol normal lottery means in which the probability of winning per ordinary figure is set to a normal probability, and the probability of winning per said common figure is set higher than this normal symbol normal lottery means A normal symbol high probability lottery means, and as a normal symbol gaming state, a normal symbol normal gaming state in which a lottery is performed by the normal symbol normal lottery means when a game ball passes through the through chucker, and a game ball A normal high probability game state in which the normal symbol high probability lottery means draws when the player passes the through-chucker, and the normal map normal game state or the normal figure high probability game state can be set. And a state in which the number of winnings per said special figure is determined N times (where N is a natural number of 3 or more) as counted from the first special figure based on the first lottery by the first special symbol lottery means. A pachinko machine having a gaming state setting means that can be set to be, the type of the special symbol is the number of games in the usual high probability gaming state that is performed after the jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as "short time number") ) In advance, and the first special symbol type determining means or the second special symbol type determining means corresponds to an advantageous special symbol corresponding to Nx times (where Nx is a natural number), or It is possible to determine at least a disadvantageous special symbol type to be dealt with by reducing the number of times shorter than Nx times, and the gaming state setting means may determine the jackpot based on the determination of the special symbol type. The game state related to the normal symbol during a game corresponding to the predetermined number of times after the game is played is set as the normal high probability game state, and the plurality of effects The pattern stop mode is a stop mode indicating that the lottery result relating to whether or not the special symbol is successful is for the special symbol, and the special symbol is not less than twice based on the first special symbol. A first stop mode for notifying that a winning is won, and a second stop mode for notifying whether or not to win per special map after the first special map is included, The stop mode of the effect symbol displayed on the display device is determined according to the type of the special symbol determined at the time of winning, and the remaining number of times per the N special symbols is the first stop. When the number of winnings per special figure determined by the aspect is smaller than the number of winnings per special figure, it is set in advance to notify the winning per special figure by displaying the second stop aspect. Based on per special figure Based on the fact that the predetermined special symbol type is determined and the first stop mode is set, the stay effect during the period from the first special symbol to the winning of N predetermined special symbols. The second special symbol lottery means based on the ordinary high-probability gaming state when the predetermined number of times is reached after the transition to the special production mode. The special effect mode can be continued on condition that the special symbol is won in the lottery by and the type of the special symbol as the first stop mode is determined. .

  In order to achieve the above object, a game board having a game area in which game balls flow down, a first start port and a second start port provided in the game area, and a game ball wins the first start port As a result, when the special symbol lottery means that the lottery for the special symbol is determined, and when the special symbol lottery is won by the first special symbol lottery means, the type of the special symbol related to the winning A first special symbol type determining means for determining a special symbol, a second special symbol lottery means for performing a lottery regarding whether or not the special symbol is won, when the game ball is won at the second starting port, and the second special symbol A second special symbol type determining means for determining the type of special symbol related to the winning when a special symbol is won by lottery means, and a through ball that allows a game ball to pass through the inside. Chukka and this through-cha When a game ball passes through the mosquito, a normal symbol lottery means for performing a lottery to determine whether or not a normal symbol is passed, and an entrance of the second starting port, and a lottery by the normal symbol lottery means A normal electric combination that opens and closes when winning and makes it easy to win a game ball to the second starting port, a special electric combination provided in the game area, and the first special symbol lottery means or A jackpot game control means for providing a jackpot game by opening and closing the special electric accessory a predetermined number of times when the special chart is won in the lottery by the second special symbol lottery means, and various effects are displayed. An effect display device that displays a lottery result by the first special symbol lottery means and the second special symbol lottery means according to the stop mode after stopping a plurality of effect symbols for a predetermined time, and the effect And an effect display control means for controlling the display state of the display device, wherein the first special symbol lottery means is a first special symbol normal lottery means in which the probability of winning per the special figure is set to a normal probability. The first special symbol high probability lottery means set with a higher probability of winning per special figure than the first special symbol normal lottery means, and the second special symbol lottery means The second special symbol normal lottery means in which the probability of winning is set to a normal probability, and the second special symbol high probability lottery means in which the probability of winning per said special symbol is set higher than the second special symbol normal lottery means. The normal symbol lottery means is a normal symbol normal lottery means in which the probability of winning per ordinary figure is set to a normal probability, and the probability that the normal symbol normal lottery means winning per said ordinary figure Was set high A normal symbol high-probability lottery means, and when the game ball wins the first start opening as a gaming state related to the special symbol, the first special symbol normal lottery means and the game ball is A special figure normal game state in which a lottery is performed by the second special symbol normal lottery means when winning at the second starting port, and the first special symbol high probability lottery when a game ball wins the first starting port. And a special symbol high probability game state in which a lottery is performed by the second special symbol high probability lottery means when a game ball is won at the second starting port, and a game related to a normal symbol is prepared. The normal symbol normal game state where the normal symbol normal lottery means the lottery is performed when the game ball passes the through chucker, and the normal symbol high when the game ball passes the through chucker. A special figure high-probability gaming state in which a lottery is performed by the rate lottery means, and has a gaming state setting means for setting the gaming state related to the special symbol and the gaming state related to the normal symbol, respectively. During the game played under the gaming state, the winner is won per the special figure, and until the winning of the special figure N times (N is a natural number of 3 or more) determined in advance. The gaming state setting means sets the gaming state related to the special symbol to the special figure high probability gaming state, and the gaming state related to the special symbol after the jackpot game provided based on the Nth winning is provided. In the pachinko machine in which the jackpot game control means can provide the N jackpot games as a set by setting the game state setting means in the special figure normal game state, the special chart Is associated in advance with a short-time pattern in which the number of games in the normal high-probability gaming state (hereinafter referred to as “short-time number”) defined after the jackpot game is defined. Is prepared in advance for a plurality of types of times including Nx times (where Nx is a natural number), which is equal to the number of times that the ordinary high-probability gaming state continues until the next winning per the special figure, The first special symbol type determining means corresponds to the special symbol type at the time of winning for each special symbol from the first time to the (N-1) th time to the short time frequency pattern in which the short time frequency is defined as Nx times. When the symbol is determined to be a symbol (hereinafter referred to as “infinitely short symbol”), or a symbol corresponding to the above-mentioned hourly frequency pattern defined as a number other than Nx times (hereinafter referred to as “finitely short time symbol”). In both cases, the type of the special symbol at the time of winning the N-th special symbol is determined to be the finite time short symbol, whereas the second special symbol type determining means is N-1 from the first time. The type of the special symbol at the time of winning for each special figure up to the first time is determined as the infinite time short symbol, and the type of the special symbol at the time of winning per the Nth special symbol is determined as the finite time short symbol. And the gaming state setting means, based on the determination of the infinite time symbol, until the Nx games are played after the jackpot game or until the next special figure is won. Based on the determination of the finite time-short symbol, the game state related to the normal symbol is set to the normal high probability game state, and is defined in the short-time pattern corresponding to the finite time-short symbol after the jackpot game. The game state related to the normal symbol until the short-time number of games is played or until the next special symbol is won is set as the normal-game high-probability game state, and the plurality of effect symbols The stop mode is a stop mode indicating that the lottery result by the first special symbol lottery means or the second special symbol lottery unit is per the special figure, and the stop mode is displayed on the effect display device. When displayed, the consecutive resort stop mode indicating that it is possible to provide the jackpot game at least A times (however, a natural number satisfying A <N) after that, and the stop mode is displayed on the effect display device. Once displayed, when the one-shot stop mode in which it is difficult to predict at least how many times the jackpot game can be provided and the stop mode are displayed on the effect display device, Drawing Is a first winning of the one set, and after that, a special consecutive villa stop mode indicating that the jackpot game of N-1 times can be provided is included. After the N-th jackpot game, while the short-time game specified in the short-time pattern corresponding to the finite time-short pattern is being performed, the winning of the special figure that is the first of the second set is won. In the display control of the stop mode on the effect display device when the type of the special symbol at that time is determined to be the infinite short-time symbol, the effect display control means includes the special consecutive resort in the first set. When the stop mode is displayed, the special extended resort stop mode is displayed. When the special extended resort stop mode is not displayed in the first set, the special extended resort stop mode and the extended resort stop mode are displayed. Or said single stop You may make it control to display an aspect.

  In this configuration, the special consecutive villa stop mode is displayed, and this special figure is the first winning of the set, and after that, N-1 jackpot games can be provided. By showing, the player is informed that N jackpot games can be obtained. Therefore, when the special consecutive villa stop mode is displayed, the player is greatly excited and can enjoy N jackpot games. However, once the special consecutive villa stop mode is displayed, a special lottery will be held in the lottery that will be triggered by the winning of the game ball at the second starting port during the normal high probability game state after N jackpot games. Even if the player wins, the player knows that the second set of N jackpot games will continue. In other words, once the special villa stop mode is displayed, the player knows that the display is the time per set of the first special figure, so by counting the number of jackpots from there, It is possible to easily know how many times the current jackpot game is N times and how many times the jackpot game remains.

  In such a case, even if the gasse effect is performed without meaning, the player is bored on the contrary. Therefore, in the present configuration, when the special consecutive villa stop mode is displayed in the first set, the special continuous villa stop mode is stopped and displayed on the effect display device at the time of winning the first special figure in the second set. Yes. By doing so, the player can enjoy the game without worrying because he / she can know how many times the jackpot game is left without being bored.

  On the other hand, if the special consecutive villa stop mode is not displayed in the first set, the player cannot accurately know how many times he can win the jackpot. In such a case, if it is always displayed how many times the jackpot can be won, the subsequent games will not be monotonous and interesting. Therefore, in this configuration, if the special consecutive villa stop mode is not displayed in the first set, the special consecutive villa stop mode, the continuous villa stop mode, or the one-time stop will be performed at the time of winning the first special map of the second set. Any one of the modes is displayed. For this reason, it is difficult to predict how many times a big hit game will remain, so that the game does not become monotonous and the player can be attracted to the game.

  Thus, in this configuration, in the limiter machine that notifies the number of remaining jackpots depending on the mode of the stop symbol, it is indicated that “this jackpot is the first time and all jackpots for the upper limit count can be acquired”. Since it is configured so that the pattern of the subsequent stop pattern can be differentiated between when it is done and when it is not, it can entertain the player with a display that predicts the remaining number of jackpots, In situations where the remaining number of times is already known, the display of the stop symbol is not ambiguous, it is displayed accurately, and the meaningless performance is not performed, so that the player is not awakened. be able to.

  In the above configuration, the finite time-short symbol includes a first finite time-short symbol corresponding to the time-short frequency pattern in which the time-short frequency is defined as Na times (where Na is a natural number satisfying Na << Nx). , And a second finite time-short symbol corresponding to the time-short time pattern defined as Nb times (where Nb is a natural number satisfying Nb <Na), and the effect display control means From the first to the (N-1) th jackpot game, the Nbth game in the case where the type of the special symbol at the time of winning for each special figure from the first to the (N-1) th is the second finite time-short symbol The Nb-th game is played after the N-th big hit game in the case where the effect until the game is performed and the type of the special symbol at the time of winning the N-th special figure is the second finite time-short symbol Preferably, directing and is configured to display control so that the same content.

If winning is made per special figure during Nb games after the N-th jackpot game, the winning will be per set for the first special figure. Therefore, in the case where the number of time reductions is Nb after the first to Nth jackpot game, if the same effects are made during the Nb games, the player can play Nb times after the jackpot game ends. If a special figure is won during the game, it can be expected that a special consecutive resort stop mode may be displayed. Therefore, according to this configuration, in a situation where it is difficult to predict the number of jackpot games that can be provided in one set, which is N times in total, at the time of winning per special figure, Nb times You can maintain your interest in playing games.
In the case of a game with Nb times, the special symbol type determining means and the second special symbol type determining means may be used regardless of the type of the special symbol. If the “infinitely short time symbol (the number of time reductions is Nx)” is determined, it is not necessary to distinguish between the first start port and the second start port, and the superiority of the game that performs the Nb time reduction times This is preferable because the property is further improved.

Further, in the above configuration, each of the first to N-1th jackpots in the case where the type of the special symbol at the time of winning per each special symbol from the first time to the (N-1) th time is the second finite time-short symbol. After the game until the Nbth game is played, and after the Nth jackpot game in the case where the type of the special symbol at the time of winning the Nth special symbol is the first finite time-short symbol If the display control is performed so that the content before the Na-th game is played is different, it is possible to strongly impress the player that the Na-th game after the jackpot game is a special section. The property is further improved.
In addition, in the case of winning a special symbol during a game in which the number of times after the N-1th special symbol is reduced, any of the first special symbol type determining means and the second special symbol type determining means, Regardless of the type of special symbol, if the “first finite time-short symbol (number of time-shorts is Na)” is determined, there is no need to distinguish between the first start port and the second start port, and the jackpot game It is preferable because it is possible to provide a special section game of Na times to be performed later and to improve expectation.
In addition, in Nx games played after the jackpot game, as the production of the first half section after the jackpot game until Na times, an effect common to the game effect that ends in Na times after the jackpot game is performed. If it cannot be distinguished from a configuration that may become a special consecutive villa stop mode, it is preferable because the complexity of the game can be increased and the sustained effect of interest can be improved.

A door 4, a transparent glass plate 10 attached to the opening 8 of the glass door 4, and a front board 6 having a tray 5 which is disposed on the lower side of the main body frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed and accommodates a game ball. A launching device 9 provided at the lower part of the main body frame 2 and a handle 7 attached to the front board 6 are provided. Furthermore, the speaker 20 is attached to the upper part of the glass door 4 one each right and left, and the various sound effects regarding a game are emitted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine P has a main control processing unit 11, an effect control processing unit 12a constituting a sub control processing unit, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit on the back side. 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, a normal symbol display control unit 12f, a firing control processing unit 13, a prize ball payout device 14, and the like. Next, the configuration of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The game board 3 has a game area 31 on the board surface, and the game area 31 can be observed from the glass plate 10 after being attached to the main body frame 2. The game area 31 is partitioned and formed into a substantially circular shape by a guide rail 32 for sliding the game ball and a game ball regulating rail 33, and the game ball launched by the launching device 9 flows down in the game area 31. To do. Further, in the game area 31, the special symbol display device 17, the effect display device 34, the through chucker 21, the normal symbol display device 22, the electric tulip (ordinary electric accessory) 49, the stage 36, 1 start winning port (first starting port) 37a and 2nd starting winning port (second starting port) 37b, general winning port 38, out port 39, game nail (not shown), windmill (not shown) And an attacker device (special electric accessory) 41 and the like.

  In the present embodiment, the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are provided with a gap in the left-right direction, and when the launching intensity of the launching device 9 is weak to medium (so-called bukko) When the game ball is fired for the purpose), the game ball may flow down the left side of the effect display device 34 and win the first start winning port 37a, but the second start winning port 37b wins a prize. It is set not to be. On the other hand, when the game ball is fired with the firing strength of the launcher 9 increased (so-called right-handed), the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 37b, but right-handed. Then, it is set so that it is difficult to win the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a. Therefore, in the case of making a right hand, the game ball is almost won only at the second start winning opening 37b. In order to win a game ball at the second start winning opening 37b, an electric tulip 49 described later needs to be opened.

  The effect display device 34 is provided in a substantially central portion of the game board 3 and is an electronic lottery for a special symbol that is performed when a game ball wins at the first start winning opening 37a or the second starting winning opening 37b. A predetermined effect mode is displayed based on the result, and a liquid crystal display device is used in this embodiment. In this effect display device 34, a background image is displayed on the entire screen, and as a part of a predetermined effect mode, a dummy symbol (effect design) is synchronized with a special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol display device 17. ) Is displayed in a variable manner.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a special figure is hit, three dummy symbols are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 34 in a predetermined manner. Then, depending on whether the three dummy symbols are aligned with the "normal symbol" (odd symbol) or "probable variation" (even symbol), the case where the villa for each special symbol is promised or not It is configured to produce. In more detail, if the “normal design” is aligned, the jackpot ream can not be guaranteed, but if it is aligned with the “probable variation”, the subsequent 2 ream (A = 2) jackpot is guaranteed. As shown in the figure, the special symbol hit and the stop symbol are associated with each other.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a “JP symbol” (see FIG. 21A) is prepared, and this “JP symbol” is displayed on the effect display device 34 only when a specific condition is satisfied. It has become. Then, when this “JP symbol” is displayed, the production specifications include so-called premier elements that 7 consecutive villas are confirmed. These dummy symbol stop modes will be described in detail later. “Normal design” corresponds to “single stop mode” of the present invention, and “probability variation” corresponds to “continuous stop mode” of the present invention. The “JP symbol” corresponds to the “special villa stop mode” of the present invention.

  The effect display device 34 is a display for performing a hold display (display that the hold ball random number is stored) when the hold ball random number is stored in the hold ball random number storage (memory) 115a, 115b. A region is defined. That is, the display area portion is the holding ball display device 34a. A command output from the main control processing unit 11 when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a or the second start winning opening 37b and the special symbol random number acquired by the winning is stored as a holding ball random number. When received, a predetermined hold display mode is displayed on the hold ball display device 34a.

  The special symbol display device 17 is for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the special symbol that is performed when the game ball wins in the first starting winning port 37a or the second starting winning port 37b. More specifically, the lottery result is displayed in such a manner that the lottery result is stopped after the special symbol (number or pattern) is changed. This special symbol display device 17 uses a 7-segment display in the present embodiment, and is separated from the lower right portion of the game board 3 so as not to enter the field of view of the player watching the effect display device 34 at the same time. Is provided. Then, the special symbol fluctuates by causing the 7-segment display to blink, and the blinking stops and changes to the lighting display, whereby the special symbol fluctuates. This blinking time is the special symbol fluctuation time.

  In the present embodiment, the priority order between the game based on the game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a and the game based on the game ball winning in the second start winning port 37b is the game ball. It is a winning order. For example, when a game ball wins first in the first start winning opening 37a and then a game ball wins in the second start winning opening 37b, the game ball wins in the first start winning opening 37a first. As a result, an electronic lottery is performed, a game corresponding to the lottery result is executed, and after the game result is confirmed, a game based on winning of a game ball to the second start winning port 37b is executed. Therefore, the lottery results of both the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are not displayed simultaneously. Therefore, the result of the lottery based on the winning of the game ball in the two start winning openings 37a and 37b is displayed on one special symbol display device 17. That is, the special symbol display device 17 serves as both the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol display device of the present invention. Of course, it goes without saying that two special symbol display devices 17 may be provided separately.

  The through chucker 21 has a gate structure through which a game ball can pass, and a magnetic sensor type through chucker detection sensor 46 that detects that the game ball has passed is incorporated therein. In addition, a normal symbol display device 22 for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol performed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 is provided next to the special symbol display device 17. . In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display device 22 is composed of two LED lamps, and one LED lamp is lit when hitting a normal figure, and the other LED lamp is lit when lost. ing. It should be noted that the normal symbol fluctuates by alternately displaying the two LED lamps in a blinking manner, and the blinking stops and the normal symbol fluctuates by changing to a lighting display. This blinking time is the normal symbol fluctuation time.

  The electric tulip (ordinary electric accessory) 49 is provided at the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b, and includes a pair of blade members that rotate about an axis orthogonal to the surface of the game board 3, and energizes the solenoid. When a pair is made, the pair of blade members rotate in a direction away from each other, and the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b is enlarged. As long as the electric tulip 49 is not opened, the game ball will not win the second start winning opening 37b. The electric tulip 49 is not limited to a structure in which the pair of blade members are opened and closed, but other structures, for example, the second start winning opening 37b is exposed when the plate-like member falls to the near side, and the plate-like member is exposed. It is also possible to use a structure in which a pachinko ball riding on the board is guided as it is to the plate-like member and wins the second start winning opening 37b (so-called Vero electric chew).

  Further, the stage 36 is a structure that is disposed below the effect display device 34 and in which the game ball stays temporarily while rolling. A groove is formed at the center of the stage 36, and a first start winning opening 37a is arranged at a position directly below the groove. Therefore, the game ball dropped from the groove is guided to the first start winning opening 37a with a high probability.

  The attacker device (special electric accessory) 41 becomes a hit per special figure as a result of an electronic lottery concerning a special symbol that is performed when a game ball wins a prize in the first start winning opening 37a or the second starting winning opening 37b. This is a device that is opened a predetermined number of times when it shifts to jackpot game. The attacker device 41 includes a plate-like lid member that opens and closes in the front-rear direction about a horizontal axis, and is configured to rotate around the horizontal axis by driving a solenoid (not shown). . When the lid member is opened, the big prize opening 42 provided in the lower portion of the game area 31 is exposed, and the game ball can be won through the big prize opening 42.

  That is, in the attacker device 41, since the lid member normally closes the big winning opening 42, the game ball does not win the big winning opening 42. However, as described above, when the player shifts to the jackpot game, the lid member Since the special winning opening 42 is exposed, the game ball can be awarded in the special winning opening 42. When a game ball wins the big winning opening 42, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. That is, the player can win a game by winning a game ball in the big winning opening 42. The special winning opening 42 is a horizontally long rectangular opening, and the lid member of the attacker device 41 has substantially the same shape as that of the special winning opening 42.

  In this embodiment, the number of times the attacker device 41 is released is standardized to 10 rounds (R), but the number of rounds in which the player can win a prize ball, that is, the so-called round with a ball is the type of special symbol. Is different. This will be described in detail later.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the general winning opening 38, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. The game balls that have not entered the first start winning opening 37a, the second start winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the attacker device 41 are collected from the out opening 39. It should be noted that sensors 43a, 43b, 44, 45 for detecting the passage of game balls are respectively provided in the first start winning opening 37a, the second starting winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the large winning opening 42 (FIG. 4). Reference) is provided.

  The front board 6 is provided with a receiving tray 5 that accommodates game balls and can be discharged to the outside. This tray 5 can accommodate not only game balls thrown by the player but also game balls paid out as prize balls from the prize ball payout device 14. A launching device 9 for launching game balls toward the game area 31 is attached to the lower part of the main body frame 2, and the game balls accommodated in the tray 5 are supplied to the launching device 9 one by one. The Then, when the handle 7 attached to the lower right of the front board 6 is rotated, the launching device 9 can launch the game ball to the game area 31 with a launch intensity corresponding to the turning amount. Yes. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the touch button 60 which a player press-downs is provided in the side part of the saucer 5. As shown in FIG.

  The main control processing unit 11 is provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like. The main control device 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory) for storing a predetermined control program, and a RAM (Temporary storage of generated processing information and a RAM for deleting stored information ( Random Access Memory) and the like. When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control processing unit 11 performs a special symbol lottery processing unit 110 that performs a lottery regarding whether or not a special symbol is won when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b. A special symbol type determination processing unit 120 that determines the type of the special symbol by lottery, a special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 that determines the variation time of the special symbol, and a special symbol based on the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied. Game state setting unit (gaming state setting means) 140 for setting the game state related to the normal symbol and the game state related to the normal symbol, and the special symbol type determination when the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 wins per special symbol A jackpot game control unit (a jackpot game) that shifts to a jackpot game by operating the attacker device 41 (solenoid thereof) according to the type of special symbol determined by the processing unit 120 And a control means) 160.

  Further, the main control processing unit 11 includes a normal symbol lottery processing unit (ordinary symbol lottery means) 170 for performing lottery related to whether or not the normal symbol is passed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21, and a normal symbol variation time. A normal symbol variation pattern command determining unit 190 and an electric tulip operation control unit 180 for controlling the operation of the electric tulip 49.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 sets a loop counter value within a predetermined range (for example, a range of 0 to 249) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). The random number generator 111 for determining whether or not a special symbol is appropriate for generating software random numbers by updating the game by one, and the fact that a game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a makes a lottery for the special symbol to determine whether or not the game is successful. First special symbol win / fail lottery section 119a for determination and second special symbol win / fail for performing a lottery related to special symbols in response to the winning of a game ball in the second start winning opening 37b And a lottery section 119b. That is, in the present embodiment, the lottery means related to the special symbol are triggered by winning the first start winning opening 37a and triggered by winning the second starting winning opening 37b. There are two things.

  The first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (at the timing when the detection signal from the starting winning opening detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing section 11). The first special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112a that acquires (latches) one special symbol success / failure random number generated by the special symbol success / failure determination random number generation unit 111, and the first special symbol success / failure determination random number. A first special symbol success / failure determination unit that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the acquisition unit 112a is per special symbol with reference to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a or the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a. 113a and the first special symbol success / failure determination random number obtaining unit 112a obtain a random number, and if the special symbol is changing, the obtained random number is set as a reserved ball random number related to the special symbol. Up to four up and a (in other words, four to the upper limit is a predetermined number) first holding ball random number memory unit 115a for special symbol to be stored.

  Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, and more specifically, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a. 116a has a winning probability per special figure set to 1/50, and the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a has a winning probability per special figure set to 1/250. That is, in the case of low probability, for example, one random number from 0 to 249 is a random number per special figure, and in the case of high probability, 50 random numbers from 0 to 249 are random numbers per special figure. become.

  Similarly to the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning award port 37b (the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43b is the main signal). The second special symbol success / failure determination random number obtaining unit 112b that obtains (latches) one special symbol success / failure random number generated by the special symbol success / failure random number generation unit 111 (at the timing input to the control processing unit 11). Then, refer to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b to determine whether or not the random number acquired by the second special symbol appropriateness determination random number acquisition unit 112b is per special symbol. If the special symbol is changing when the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b and the second special symbol appropriateness determination random number acquisition unit 112b acquire random numbers, the acquisition is performed. Random number up to four as holding ball random number according to the special symbol and a (in other words, four to the upper limit is a predetermined number) second holding ball random number memory unit 115b for special symbol to be stored.

  Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, and more specifically, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b. In 116b, the winning probability per special figure is set to 1/50, and in the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the winning probability per special figure is set to 1/250. Thus, in this embodiment, the winning probability per special drawing is the same between the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b.

  In addition, the structure which performs the lottery process which concerns on the special symbol success / failure by the random number generator 111 for special symbol success / failure determination and the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a corresponds to the “first special symbol lottery means” of the present invention, A configuration in which the special symbol success / failure determination random number generator 111 and the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b perform lottery processing relating to the special symbol's success or failure corresponds to the “second special symbol lottery means” of the present invention. In the lottery performed by the first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a, the first special symbol success / failure determination section 113a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a to determine whether or not it is true. Corresponding to the symbol normal lottery means, the first special symbol high / bad determination unit 113a refers to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a to determine whether or not it is a “first special symbol high probability lottery means”. Is equivalent to. Further, in the lottery performed by the second special symbol success / failure lottery section 119b, the configuration in which the second special symbol success / failure determination section 113b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b to determine the success / failure is “the second special symbol The second special symbol high-probability determination unit 113b corresponds to the symbol normal lottery means, and the second special symbol high-probability determination unit 113b refers to the second special symbol high-probability determination table 116b. Is equivalent to.

  Then, the first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a to perform the lottery regarding the special symbol success / failure, and the second special symbol success / failure lottery section 119b determines the second special symbol low probability determination The gaming state in which the lottery related to whether or not the special symbol is determined with reference to the table 117b corresponds to the “special symbol normal gaming state” of the present invention, and the first special symbol determination lottery unit 119a performs the first special symbol high probability determination table. The gaming state in which a lottery related to whether or not a special symbol is made with reference to 116a, and a lottery related to whether or not a special symbol is made with reference to the second special symbol high-probability determination table 116b is performed by the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b. This corresponds to the “special drawing high probability gaming state” of the present invention.

  In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a to perform a lottery regarding the success or failure of the special symbol, and the second special symbol success / failure lottery section 119b. A game state in which a lottery for determining whether a special symbol is successful or not with reference to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b is simply referred to as “special symbol low probability”, and the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a The special symbol high probability determination table 116a is referred to perform a lottery regarding the special symbol success / failure, and the second special symbol high probability determination table 119b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b to determine whether the special symbol is successful or not. The gaming state where the game is performed is simply referred to as “special figure high accuracy”.

  In addition, as mentioned above, when the reserved ball random numbers are stored in both the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the order stored in the order (the winning order) ), A determination is made as to whether or not it is per special figure, and control is performed so that the game proceeds according to the determination.

  Next, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 will be described. Whereas the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 described above determines whether or not a special symbol is won, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 is for determining the type of special symbol. is there. In other words, in the present embodiment, determination of jackpot / losing regarding a special symbol is performed by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, but the contents of the jackpot (the attacker opening pattern and the number of times of electric support) are determined by the special symbol type determination processing unit 120. It is the composition which becomes. Details of the above jackpot contents will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 sets a loop counter value within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 399) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). The special symbol type random number generator 121 for generating a software random number by updating the range by one at a time) and the type of the special symbol determined by lottery when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a And a second special symbol type lottery unit 129b for determining the type of the special symbol by lottery when the game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. It is configured with. That is, in the present embodiment, the determination of the type of special symbol is made when triggered by winning the first start winning opening 37a, and when made when triggered by winning the second starting winning opening 37b. There is one.

  The first special symbol type lottery unit 129a is triggered by a game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 11). The first special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122a that acquires (latches) one special symbol type determining random number generated by the special symbol type determining random number generating unit 121, and the first special symbol type determining random number A first special symbol type determining unit 123a that determines a special symbol type from a random number acquired by the acquiring unit 122a with reference to the first special symbol type determining table 125a, and a first special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122a. First special symbol type that stores up to 4 random numbers (in other words, up to the upper limit of 4 which is a predetermined number) when special symbols are changing when random numbers are acquired And a titration, the random number storage unit 124a.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the first special symbol type determination table 125a has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special symbol type and a special symbol type are associated in advance. Specifically, seven special symbols from 10R specific short-lived symbols 1 to 7 are stored in the first special symbol type determination table 125a, and a special symbol type determination random number for these special symbol types. Values from 0 to 399 are associated with each other. And since the range of the special symbol type determination random value assigned to each special symbol type is different, the probability that each special symbol type is selected by the first special symbol type determining unit 123a is different. It becomes.

  More specifically, among the seven types of special symbols stored in the first special symbol type determination table 125a, those having a special symbol type determination random number value of 0 to 19 will be referred to as “10R specific short-time symbols. 1 ”is associated, and“ 10R specified short time symbol 2 ”is for the random number value 20 to 59, and“ 10R specific short time symbol is for the random value 60 to 119 ”. 3 ”is“ 10R specific short time symbol 4 ”for the random number value from 120 to 199, and“ 10R specific short time symbol 5 ”is for the random number value from 200 to 259. “10R specific short time symbol 6” is associated with the random number value of 260 to 319, and “10R specific short time symbol 7” is associated with the random number value of 320 to 399. ing.

  As is clear from FIG. 7A, since the total number of random numbers associated with “10R specified short time symbol 1” is 20 out of 400 special symbol type determining random numbers, The probability that “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is selected is 20/400 × 100 = 5%. The selection probabilities of other special symbols are obtained in the same manner, and the values are as described in FIG.

  Similarly to the first special symbol type lottery unit 129a, the second special symbol type lottery unit 129b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second starting prize port 37b (a detection signal from the starting winning port detection sensor 43b). Is acquired at the timing of the input to the main control processing unit 11), and a random number for determining the second special symbol type is acquired (latched), one random number for determining the special symbol type generated by the random number generator for determining the special symbol type 121. 122b and a second special symbol type determining unit 123b that determines the type of the special symbol with reference to the second special symbol type determining table 125b from the random number acquired by the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122b. When the special symbol is changing when the second special symbol type determination random number acquiring unit 122b acquires the random number, the acquired random number is limited to a maximum of four (in other words, the predetermined number That up to four upper) and a second special symbol types determination random number storage unit 124b for storing.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the second special symbol type determination table 125b has a table configuration in which a special symbol type determination random number and a special symbol type are associated in advance. In the second special symbol type determination table 125b, the special symbol type is configured only by “10R specific time short symbol 1”. Therefore, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, “10R specified short time symbol 1” is always selected.

  The configuration in which the special symbol type determining random number generator 121 and the first special symbol type lottery unit 129a perform the lottery processing related to the special symbol type corresponds to the “first special symbol type determining unit” of the present invention. The configuration in which the special symbol type determining random number generator 121 and the second special symbol type lottery unit 129b perform the lottery processing related to the special symbol type corresponds to the “second special symbol type determining means” of the present invention.

  Next, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 performs a lottery related to a normal symbol in response to a normal symbol success / failure random number generator 171 for generating a random number and a game ball passing through the through chucker 21. A normal symbol success / failure lottery part 177 for determining whether or not to go is configured. The random number generator 171 for determining whether or not the normal symbol is appropriate generates fewer random numbers than the random number generator 111 for determining whether or not the special symbol is appropriate, but the configuration for generating random numbers is the same. Further, the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 is triggered by the passing of the game ball through the through chucker 21 (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11). A normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit (ordinary symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition means) 172 for acquiring (latching) one random number for normal symbol success / failure generation generated by the determination random number generation unit 171 and this normal symbol success / failure determination A normal symbol success / failure determination unit (ordinary symbol success / failure determination means) 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 172 is a normal symbol with reference to the determination table; If the normal symbol is fluctuating when the unit 172 acquires a random number, the normal symbol hold for storing the acquired random number as a hold ball random number related to the normal symbol up to an upper limit of four Random number storage unit 174, as a determination table, a normal symbol low probability determination table 176 with a low probability of winning per normal symbol, and a normal symbol high with a higher probability of winning per normal symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 A probability determination table 175.

  Here, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 has a higher probability of hitting the normal symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and more specifically, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is per symbol. In the normal symbol low probability determination table 176, the winning probability per ordinary drawing is set to 1/60. That is, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is set to have a much higher probability of winning per regular symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. When a lottery is made with reference to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175, in most cases, the winning is per ordinary drawing.

  In addition, the structure which performs the lottery process which concerns on the success / failure of a normal symbol by the random number generation part 171 for normal symbol success / failure determination and the normal symbol winning / lottery lottery unit 177 corresponds to the “normal symbol lottery means” of the present invention. The configuration in which the normal symbol determination unit 173 refers to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 in the lottery performed by the normal symbol determination lottery unit 177 corresponds to the “normal symbol normal lottery unit” of the present invention. The configuration in which the normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 determines the success / failure with reference to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 corresponds to the “normal symbol high probability lottery means” of the present invention.

  The game state in which the normal symbol winning / lotting unit 177 refers to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 to perform the lottery related to the normal symbol corresponds to the “general symbol normal gaming state” of the present invention. A gaming state where 177 refers to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 and performs the lottery related to the normal symbol corresponds to the “general symbol high probability gaming state” of the present invention.

  In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 refers to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 to perform the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “general symbol low probability”. The game state in which the normal symbol winning / not determining lottery unit 177 refers to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 and performs the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “ordinary symbol high probability”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the relationship between the type of special symbol and the contents of the jackpot (attacker opening pattern and the number of electric support) will be described. In explaining FIG. 9, first, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment. Briefly explain the specifications of the machine. The pachinko machine used in this embodiment is a so-called “limiter machine” that can obtain 7 jackpots (N = 7) in one set. In order to make one set of specifications in seven times, the game state setting unit 140 wins per special figure in the game performed under “special figure low probability” and counts from the win 7 Set the gaming state related to the special symbol until winning for each special symbol to “Special figure high accuracy”, and the gaming state related to the special symbol after the jackpot game provided based on the seventh winning It is set to “Special figure low accuracy”. By doing so, once the winning for each special figure is won in “Special figure low accuracy”, the gaming state related to the special symbol becomes “Special drawing high accuracy” after that special figure, and the probability of winning per special figure is Because it becomes high, it becomes a specification that can be won per 7 consecutive special drawings. The game state setting unit 140 also sets a game state related to a normal symbol, which will be described later.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the gaming states at the time of the special figure are 6 cases of “low accuracy”, “short time”, “probability change”, “inside accuracy”, “in case of accuracy change limiter”, and “in case of internal accuracy limiter”. Two states are provided in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment. “Low probability” means a state in which the game state related to the special symbol is “special symbol low probability” and the game state related to the normal symbol is “ordinary low probability” (normal game state). It is. “Time saving” is a state in which the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special drawing low probability” and the gaming state related to the normal symbol is “general drawing high probability”. The “probability change” is a state in which the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special figure high probability” and the gaming state related to the normal symbol is “general figure high probability”. “Inward” is a state in which the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special figure high probability” and the gaming state related to the normal symbol is “ordinary figure low probability”. “At the probability variation limiter” is the seventh time per special figure (when the upper limit is reached), the game state related to the special symbol is “special high accuracy”, and the game state related to the normal symbol is “normal” This is the state of “high accuracy”. “In-progress limiter” means that the special symbol is the seventh time (when the upper limit is reached), the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special symbol high accuracy”, and the gaming state related to the normal symbol is “ It is a state that is “generally inaccurate”.

  Next, the types of special symbols and the contents of jackpots will be described. FIG. 9A is referred to in order to determine the jackpot pattern corresponding to the special symbol type determined by the first special symbol type determining unit 123a, and FIG. 9B is the second special symbol type. It is referred to in order to determine the jackpot pattern corresponding to the type of special symbol determined by the type determining unit 123b. The jackpot pattern corresponds to the short time pattern of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 9, each special symbol type is associated in advance with a jackpot pattern that prescribes “the number of times of power support (number of times reduced)” and “attacker opening pattern”.

  The “attacker opening pattern” defines whether the game is a jackpot game with a ball or a jackpot game without a ball, “Full release” indicates a jackpot game with a ball, and “Fast open” means no ball Shows the jackpot game. The presence / absence of a ball is realized by controlling the opening / closing operation of the attacker device 41 for “full opening” and “high speed opening”, which will be described in detail later.

  The jackpot game of the present embodiment is configured such that a round game that the attacker device 41 opens and closes a predetermined number of times is continuously performed a plurality of times. In one round game, the attacker device 41 is opened after the round game is started, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won in the exposed big prize opening 42, or a predetermined time (after the round game is started). For example, when any end condition (round end condition) that 30 seconds have passed is satisfied, the process ends. In this embodiment, it is the same in that the round game is always performed 10 times (rounds) regardless of the pattern of “full release” and “fast release”. The attacker device 41 is set to open and close once in one round game, whereas in “high speed release”, it opens and closes 10 times in one round game. The difference is that the opening time is set to be an extremely short time of 0.2 seconds.

  For this reason, in the “full release”, a predetermined number of game balls often win the big winning opening 42 before a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the round game, and the player receives a prize ball ( About 1000). In other words, “full open” is a jackpot game with a lot of play. On the other hand, in the “high speed opening”, it is difficult to win a game ball in the exposed big winning opening 42 because the time for the attacker device 41 to be opened during the round game is short. As a result, the end condition of the round game is satisfied after a predetermined time has passed without the game ball winning a prize winning opening 42. For this reason, “high-speed opening” means that you cannot expect an appearance during a jackpot game.

  Note that the jackpot game control unit 160 controls the operation of the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game with an attacker opening pattern corresponding to the type of special symbol.

  The “electric support count” is the number of games that can be played while receiving support from the electric tulip 49. More specifically, this is the number of times that the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 can perform a lottery (the number of games) when the game state is “normal figure high-definition” and corresponds to the “number of times reduced” in the present invention. To do. In the present embodiment, there are five types of power support times: 10, 20, 30 (Nb = 30), 100 (Na = 100), and 10,000 (Nx = 10000). Yes. In addition, if you win per special figure before reaching the set number of electric support, the remaining electric support will disappear at that time, and the electric support corresponding to the type of special symbol determined when you newly won Needless to say, the number of times is given.

  Here, the electric support 10000 times is a very large value compared to the other times. And in this embodiment, since the winning probability at the time of special figure low probability is 1/250, and the winning probability at the time of special figure high probability is 1/50, while playing a game 10,000 times, Almost definitely winning per special map. In other words, the number of games until winning the next special figure will never exceed 10,000. Therefore, it can be said that the fact that the number of times of electric support is given 10,000 times is equivalent to the “general figure high accuracy” continuing until the next winning of the special figure. Then, when the number of electric support is determined to be 10,000, it is determined that the number of special balls will be extended with almost no game balls.

  In this way, the jackpot pattern is a content that defines an attacker opening pattern of full opening or high speed opening and the number of electric support times of 10, 20, 30, 100, or 100,000 times. Thus, when the type of special symbol is determined, the game is controlled according to the jackpot pattern corresponding to the type. The correspondence between the types of special symbols and jackpot patterns is as follows.

  For “10R specific short time symbol 4”, the number of electric support is 10 times when the gaming state per special figure is “low probability”, and the electric support number is 10,000 times when “short time” and “probability change”. In the case of “in-progress”, the number of electric support is 10 times, in the case of “accuracy limiter”, the number of electric support is 100 times, and in the case of “in-progress limiter”, the number of electric support is 10 times. Corresponds to the jackpot pattern where the pattern of opening the attacker in the game is "full open".

Therefore, it corresponds to the “finite time short symbol” of the present invention, and in the case of “internal accuracy limiter”, the electric support. Since the number of times is 10, it corresponds to the “finite time-short symbol” of the present invention.

  “10R specified short time symbol 5” has 30 times of electric support when the game state per special figure is “low probability” and 10,000 times of electric support when “short time” and “probability change”. In the case of “In-accuracy”, the number of electric support is 0 (none). In the case of “Probability change limiter”, the number of electric support is 100. In the case of “In-accuracy limiter”, the number of electric support is 0.

In this case, the number of electric support is 0 (none), which corresponds to the “finite time-short symbol” of the present invention.

  Then, the game state setting unit 140 sets the game state related to the normal symbol after the jackpot game, that is, the number of times of electric support, based on the jackpot pattern associated with the type of the special symbol described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the type of special symbol at the time of winning per special figure is “10R specified short-time symbol 1”, the gaming state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “ In the case of “short time”, “probability change”, and “confidence”, the game state setting unit 140 sets the game state related to the normal symbol after the jackpot game until 10,000 games are played (in other words, the next time (Up to wins per special figure), set to "normal figure high accuracy", and when "probability limiter" and "inner accuracy limiter", the game state related to the normal symbol after the big hit game is played 100 times In the meantime, set it to “Normal”. From this, if the special symbol type is “10R specified short-time symbol 1”, it will always receive 10000 times of electric support after the jackpot until it reaches the limiter of 7 times, and after the 7th jackpot always It means that 100 times of electric support is given. Therefore, it can be said that “10R specified short time symbol 1” is most advantageous for the player. When a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, one of the seven special symbols shown in FIG. 9A is determined, but the game ball enters the second start winning opening 37b. 9 is selected, as shown in FIG. 9B, only “10R specific time short symbol 1” is selected, so the second start winning port 37b is more advantageous for the player than the first starting winning port 37a. It can be said that there is.

  In addition, when the type of the special symbol is “10R specified short-time symbol 4”, the gaming state setting unit 140 determines that the gaming state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “in-probability”, and “in-probability limiter” ”Is set to“ high-definition ”for the game state related to the normal symbol after the jackpot game until 10 games are played, and when“ short time ”and“ probability change ”, the game state after the jackpot game is set. The game state related to the normal symbol is set to “normal figure high probability” until the game is played 10,000 times, and at the time of “probability change limiter”, the game state related to the normal symbol after the jackpot game is set to 100 times. Until the game is played, it is set to “Normal”. Note that other special symbol types are also set to “general map high accuracy” by the number of times of electric support shown in FIG.

  As described above, since the gaming state setting unit 140 is configured to set the gaming state related to the special symbol and the gaming state related to the normal symbol, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment example is set once for seven times. Despite being a big hit, the contents of one set will vary. Therefore, hereinafter, the game characteristics of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  In a state where the special figure is inaccurate, the player strikes out the game ball aiming at the depression, and the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, and the first special symbol winning / losing lottery section 119a is triggered by this. A lottery will be held. If the special symbol type is “10 specific short-time symbol 1” suddenly from the first (first hit) special symbol, the electric support is given 10,000 times after the jackpot game (Note that this 10R) The probability of becoming a specific short-time symbol 1 is as low as 5% as shown in FIG. 7A). During the electric support, the player advances the game so that the game ball is won at the second start winning opening 37b by right-handed, so the second special symbol success / failure lottery section 119b triggered by the winning is the second time. When winning a special symbol, the type of the special symbol selected at the time of winning is always “10R specified short-time symbol 1” (see FIG. 9B). Then, even after the second jackpot game, electric support is given 10,000 times.

  By repeating this, all the types of special symbols per special symbol from the first time to the seventh time become “10R specified short-time symbol 1”. And if it is right-handed, since the electric tulip 49 opens and closes frequently, it is possible to perform 7 “full open” jackpot games with almost no reduction in game balls. In other words, when “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is selected for the first time, seven consecutive jackpot games that can win 1000 prize balls will be played (see FIG. 10H).

  On the other hand, when the first time (first hit) from the state of special figure inaccuracy is “10R specified short-time symbols 2 to 7”, as shown in FIG. 30. Therefore, when the player hits the right during the electric support and makes the game ball win at the second start winning opening 37b, and is won per the second special figure in the prize, it is selected at the time of the second special figure. Since the special symbol type is “10R specified short-time symbol 1”, the jackpot of 6 consecutive villas is promised without almost reducing the game balls from the second time to the seventh time (see FIG. 10G).

  On the other hand, if the special support is not won during the electric support, the game ball is thrown from the right after the electric support, and the target is returned to the aim, and the game ball is awarded to the first start winning opening 37a. You will aim for a special figure. In this case, since there is no support by the electric tulip 49, the number of game balls is reduced. Whether or not the number of consecutive jackpots will be determined depends on the type of special symbol at the time of the second special symbol. In other words, if the type of the special symbol at the time of winning the second special symbol is “10R specified short-time symbol 1”, then, as in the route of FIG. Zhuang will be promised, but if the special symbol type is something other than “10R specified short-time symbol 1”, whether or not you will win the special symbol during the electric support, The number of consecutive houses will change (see FIGS. 10A to 10F).

  In addition, in games within the number of times of electric support given after the seventh jackpot game, the player usually plays right-handed, and if the player wins a special figure during this time, Since the type of special symbol at the time of winning the figure is always “10R specified short time symbol 1”, after the seventh jackpot, one set of jackpot games will be started seven times. In this way, if the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is brilliant during the electric support after the seventh jackpot game and wins per special figure, it will promise a jackpot of 7 consecutive villas from there. is there.

  Note that the opening / closing pattern of the electric tulip 49 is set to a different pattern for the “general map low accuracy” and the “general map high accuracy”. Specifically, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 to open and close based on a command indicating that the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 has won a lottery. In the “general map high accuracy”, the electric tulip 49 is controlled to be opened twice with an open time of 2.9 seconds for each normal map. During the “certain”, the electric tulip 49 is controlled to be opened once with an opening time of 0.2 seconds for each ordinary map. Therefore, as described above, during the “general drawing high accuracy”, each time the lottery is performed by the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170, it is won almost every time the usual drawing is drawn, and the electric tulip 49 is 2.9 seconds × 2 by the winning. Since the game is released once, the player can win a game ball in the electric tulip 49.

  Next, a process for determining the special symbol variation time will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the special symbol variation pattern command determining unit 130 generates a random symbol for variation pattern used to determine a variation pattern command (variation time) related to the special symbol, as shown in FIG. And a first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a for determining a variation pattern command (variation time) related to the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball in the first start prize opening 37a, and a second start prize opening The second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b for determining a variation pattern command (variation time) based on the winning of a game ball in 37b is configured.

  The special symbol variation pattern random number generator 131 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (from 0 to 199) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Generate software random numbers.

  The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a includes the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a. From the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a for acquiring one random number from the random number acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a, with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134 Up to four random numbers acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135a for determining a variation pattern command related to the special symbol and the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a when the special symbol is changing And a first special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133a for storing. The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning slot 37a, similarly to the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a, for one special symbol variation pattern. Get a random number.

  Similarly to the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a, the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b also receives a special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when the game ball is won in the second start winning slot 37b. From the random numbers acquired by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b for acquiring one random number from the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b, A second special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135b that determines a variation pattern command related to a special symbol with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134, and a second special symbol variation pattern random number when the special symbol is varying A second special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133b that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the acquisition unit 132b. It is. The second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, when one game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, similarly to the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b, for one special symbol variation pattern. Get a random number.

  The special symbol common variation pattern command table 134 is a table commonly used by both the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a and the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, as shown in FIG. Total 7 of the fluctuation pattern table TT (134a), the fluctuation pattern table QB (134b), the fluctuation pattern table TC (134c), the fluctuation pattern table SPC (134d), the fluctuation pattern table TZ (134e), and the fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f). Has two tables. Each of these tables further includes a small table that is referred to at the time of each special figure, and in the case of a loss, the number of reserved memories (the number of stored random numbers of reserved balls) is 0 or 1, and is 2 In the case of 3, there are provided small tables that are referred to in the case of 4 respectively. Each small table has a configuration in which a relationship between a random number for a special symbol variation pattern and a variation pattern command (a command in which variation time and presence / absence of reach are defined at least) is associated. Once acquired, the random number value determines the variation time of special symbols and the presence / absence of reach in the current game.

  Each variation pattern table 134a-f is set to have a specific variation time. Therefore, the characteristics of the variation time of each table will be described below with reference to FIG.

  First, in the variation pattern table TT (134a), the main variation time (variation time without reach) of the special figure A (when winning the first start winning opening 37a) is 2 seconds, and the special figure B The main variation time (the variation time without reach) of the second start winning opening 37b is set to 2 seconds, the probability of reaching is set to 1/30, and the variation time at the time of reach (reach) This is a table in which the fluctuation time is set to 10 to 25 seconds. Therefore, referring to this variation pattern table TT, the variation pattern command in the case of no reach is always a command defined as the variation time of 2 seconds.

  In the fluctuation pattern table QB (134b), the main fluctuation time of the special figure A is set to 0.9 seconds, and the main fluctuation time of the special figure B is set to 0.9 seconds, regardless of the number of stored storages, and the probability of reaching is set. The table is set to 1/50, and further, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 25 seconds. Therefore, referring to this variation pattern table QB, the variation pattern command in the case of no reach is always a command defined as a variation time of 0.9 seconds. Note that the variation pattern command defined as having reach with reference to the variation pattern table QB is determined only when a special figure is won. Therefore, the probability of reaching is set to 1/50 which is the same as the winning probability per special figure in the special figure high accuracy. With this configuration, in a gaming state where the variation pattern table QB is used, a big hit is always made when a reach occurs.

  The variation pattern table TC (134c) has the same contents as the variation pattern table TT (134a). That is, regardless of the number of reserved memories, the main fluctuation time of special figure A is set to 2 seconds, the main fluctuation time of special figure B is set to 2 seconds, and the probability of reaching is set to 1/30. Is set to 10 to 25 seconds. Therefore, referring to this variation pattern table TC, the variation pattern command in the case of no reach is always a command defined as a variation time of 2 seconds.

  In the fluctuation pattern table SPC (134d), the main fluctuation time of the special figure A is set to 9 seconds, the main fluctuation time of the special figure B is set to 9 seconds, and the probability of reaching is reduced to 1/50 regardless of the number of stored storage. The table is set, and further, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 25 seconds. Therefore, referring to this variation pattern table SPC, the variation pattern command in the case of no reach is always a command defined as a variation time of 9 seconds. As with the variation pattern table QB, the variation pattern table SPC is also limited to the case where the variation pattern command defined as having reach is determined with reference to the table, when winning per special figure. Therefore, the probability of reaching is set to 1/50, which is the same as the winning probability per special figure in the special figure high accuracy, and in the gaming state in which the variation pattern table SPC is used, it is always a big hit when the reach occurs. .

  In the fluctuation pattern table TZ (134e), the main fluctuation time of the special figure A is set to 4 seconds, the main fluctuation time of the special figure B is set to 4 seconds, and the probability of reaching is reduced to 1/20 regardless of the number of stored storages. Furthermore, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 60 seconds to 80 seconds. Therefore, referring to this variation pattern table TZ, the variation pattern command in the case of no reach is always a command defined as a variation time of 4 seconds.

  The fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f) is set so that the main fluctuation time of the special figure A varies depending on the number of reserved memories (the number of reserved ball random numbers). Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 or 1, the main variation time of the special figure A is set to 12.5 seconds, When the number of memories is two, the main fluctuation time of special figure A is set to 12.5 seconds, and when the number of reserved memories is three, the main fluctuation time of special figure A is set to 7 seconds. Is four, the main variation time of the special figure A is set to 4 seconds. That is, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved memories increases. On the other hand, the main fluctuation time of special figure B is set to 4 seconds regardless of the number of reserved memories. Further, in this fluctuation pattern table NOR, the probability of reaching is set to 1/15, and the fluctuation time at the time of reaching is set to 20 seconds to 150 seconds.

  Which of the variation pattern tables 134a to 134f configured as described above is referred to depends on the game state at the time of the special figure and the contents of the state transition destination determined in advance according to the type of the special symbol. It will be. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. Although not shown, the fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f) is referred to in the initial state after power-on or when the RAM is cleared.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), when the special symbol type is “10R specific short time symbol 1”, the gaming state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “short time”, “probability variation”. ”And“ In-accuracy ”, the transition destination of the state of fluctuation after hitting the special figure is determined as“ TTM ”. The state transition destination of the fluctuation time is defined as “TC100”. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a and the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b determine a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TTM” or “TC100”. become.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), when the special symbol type is “10R specific short-time symbol 2”, the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “in-progress”, and “in-progress limiter”. When “hour”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “TC30”, and when “time reduction” and “probability change”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after the special figure is “TTM”. When the probability variation limiter is selected, the state transition destination of the variation time after hitting the special figure is defined as “TC100”. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TC30”, “TTM”, or “TC100”.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, when the special symbol type is “10R specific time short symbol 3”, the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “in-progress”, and “in-progress limiter”. "Time", the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as "TC20", and when "Time reduction" and "Probability change", the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is "TTM" When the probability variation limiter is selected, the state transition destination of the variation time after hitting the special figure is defined as “TC100”. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines the variation pattern command by referring to the predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TC20”, “TTM”, or “TC100”.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the special symbol type is “10R specific short-time symbol 4”, the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, “in-progress”, and “in-progress limiter”. When “hour”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “TC10”, and when “time reduction” and “probability change”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after the special figure is “TTM”. When the probability variation limiter is selected, the state transition destination of the variation time after hitting the special figure is defined as “TC100”. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TC10”, “TTM”, or “TC100”.

  As shown in the figure (a), when the special symbol type is “10R specific short-time symbol 5” and the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, the variation time after hitting the special symbol The destination of state transition is defined as “TZ30”, and when “time reduction” and “accuracy change”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is defined as “TTM”, “internal accuracy” and “internal accuracy” At the time of “limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “NML”, and at the time of “probable change limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is “TC100”. It is determined. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TZ30”, “TTM”, “NML”, or “TC100”. Become.

  As shown in the figure (a), when the special symbol type is “10R specified short-time symbol 6” and the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, the variation time after hitting the special symbol The destination of state transition is defined as “TZ20”, and when “time reduction” and “accuracy change”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “TTM”, “internal accuracy” and “internal accuracy” At the time of “limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “NML”, and at the time of “probable change limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is “TC100”. It is determined. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the content of “TZ20”, “TTM”, “NML”, or “TC100”. Become.

  As shown in (a) of the figure, when the special symbol type is “10R specific time short symbol 7” and the game state at the time of winning per special symbol is “low probability”, the variation time after hitting the special symbol The destination of state transition is defined as “TZ10”, and when “time reduction” and “accuracy change”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is defined as “TTM”, “internal accuracy” and “internal accuracy” At the time of “limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is determined as “NML”, and at the time of “probable change limiter”, the state transition destination of the fluctuation time after hitting the special figure is “TC100”. It is determined. Therefore, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a determines a variation pattern command by referring to a predetermined variation pattern table according to the contents of “TZ10”, “TTM”, “NML”, or “TC100”. Become.

Next, details of the state transition destination will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.
First, as shown in FIG. 15, the contents defined in the state transition destination “TTM” are a variation pattern command (variation time) from the first to the 99th game after the jackpot game, and a variation pattern table TT. (134a) is determined, but after the 100th time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table QB (134b). When this is expressed in time series, it becomes as shown in FIG. 16 (a). From the 1st to the 99th time after the jackpot game, the main fluctuation time other than reach is 2 seconds, and after the 100th time, the main fluctuation time is 0.9. Second.

  In the section where the fluctuation time is 2 seconds, not only the effect display is changed and displayed for 2 seconds on the effect display device 34 in synchronization with the change time of the special symbol, but also a specific effect such as displaying a specific character is displayed. It is also possible to display on the device 34. In other words, from the 1st to the 99th time, the game can be digested quickly by shortening the variation time, and the production can be made interesting with various variations. On the other hand, when the variation time is 0.9 seconds, the effect that can be performed in one game is only to display the stop mode of the effect symbol. Therefore, after the 100th time, it can be said that it is a section specialized to digest the game quickly.

  Here, the state transition destination “TTM” is set when the electric support number is given 10,000 times, as can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 14. At this time, since the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special figure high probability”, the probability of winning per special figure is 1/50. Then, it is highly possible that the number of games after the jackpot game will be won by the next special figure by the 99th game. However, if you are unlucky, it may be difficult to hit the next special chart after the 100th time.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment example, in the state transition destination “TTM”, in the first to 99th game after the jackpot game, the main variation time is set to 2 seconds so that the digestion speed of the game is increased. I am trying to keep the fun of the surface. From the 100th time onward, the player will want to win the special chart as soon as possible. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main variation time is set to 0.9 seconds, and the game is digested. The speed is greatly increased. Further, when the variation pattern table QB (134b) is used, since it is set so as not to reach other than the time per special figure, the speed of game digestion is not hindered after the 100th time. Therefore, even if the player does not easily win the next special figure, the game digestion time is shortened, so that the game can be continued without feeling much stress.

  Next, the contents defined in the state transition destination “TC100” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TC (134c) for variation pattern commands for the first to 99th game after the jackpot game. The variation pattern command for the 100th time is determined with reference to the variation pattern table SPC (134d), and the variation pattern command for the 101st time and thereafter is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f). This is expressed in time series as shown in FIG. 16 (b). From the 1st to 99th time after the jackpot game, the main fluctuation time other than reach is 2 seconds, and the main fluctuation time is 9 seconds only for the 100th time, the 101st time. The main variation time is 12.5 seconds, 7 seconds, or 4 seconds.

  Here, as can be seen from FIG. 9 and FIG. 14, the state transition destination “TC100” is set when the electric support count is given 100 times after the seventh jackpot game, which is the limiter count. Therefore, from the 1st to the 99th game after the big hit game, the change time is shortened to 2 seconds to increase the game digestion speed. In addition, in the 100th time, even if the number of reserved sphere random numbers stored in the second special symbol reserved sphere random number storage unit 115b is small by increasing the variation time to 9 seconds, A game ball is won from the electric tulip 49 that is opened and closed during the fluctuation to the second start winning opening 37b, and the number of reserved balls in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115b can be increased. Then, after the 101st time, 100 times of electric support is completed, so that the fluctuation time is determined based on the normally used fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f).

  Next, the contents defined in the state transition destination “TC30” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TC (134c) for the variation pattern commands for the first to 29th games after the jackpot game. After the 30th time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f).

  The contents defined in the state transition destination “TC20” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TC (134c) for the variation pattern commands from the first to the 19th game after the jackpot game. After the 20th time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f).

  The contents defined in the state transition destination “TC10” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TC (134c) for the variation pattern commands for the first to ninth games after the jackpot game. After the tenth time, the fluctuation pattern command is determined with reference to the fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f).

  When “TC30”, “TC20”, and “TC10” are expressed in time series, it is as shown in FIG. 16C. From the big hit game to the predetermined number of games, the main variation time is 2 seconds, the 100th time. Thereafter, it becomes 12.5 seconds, 7 seconds, or 4 seconds depending on the number of reserved storage.

  Next, the contents defined in the state transition destination “TZ30” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TZ (134e) for the variation pattern commands for the first to 29th games after the jackpot game. After the 30th time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f).

  The contents defined in the state transition destination “TZ20” are determined by referring to the variation pattern table TZ (134e) for variation pattern commands for the number of games after the jackpot game from the first to the 19th. After the 20th time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f).

  The contents defined in the state transition destination “TZ10” refer to the variation pattern command (variation time) for the number of games after the jackpot game from the first to the ninth time, referring to the variation pattern table TZ (134e). However, after the tenth time, the variation pattern command is determined with reference to the variation pattern table NOR (134f).

  When “TZ30”, “TZ20”, and “TZ10” are represented in time series, it is as shown in FIG. 16D. From the big hit game to the predetermined number of games, the main variation time is 4 seconds, the 100th time. Thereafter, it becomes 12.5 seconds, 7 seconds, or 4 seconds depending on the number of reserved storage.

  The contents defined in the state transition destination “NML” are to determine a variation pattern command by referring to each game after the jackpot game and the variation pattern table NOR (134f). In addition, when “NML” is expressed in time series, it is as shown in FIG. 16 (e). After the big hit game, the main variation time is 12.5 seconds, 7 seconds, or 4 seconds depending on the number of reserved memories. .

  When the state transition destination is set to “NML”, as shown in FIG. 14, the gaming state at the time of hitting the special figure is “in-progress” or “in-progress limiter”, and the special symbol type is “10R specified” Since it is the time-short symbol 5-7, when the normal gaming state becomes “special figure low probability” and “general figure low probability” after the big hit game, refer to the fluctuation pattern table NOR (134f) The variation pattern command will be determined.

  Next, determination of the normal symbol variation time will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the normal symbol variation pattern command determination unit 190 generates a normal symbol variation pattern random number generator 191 that generates a normal symbol variation pattern random number for use in determining a normal symbol variation pattern command. And a normal symbol variation pattern lottery unit 196 for determining a variation pattern command.

  The normal symbol variation pattern lottery unit 196 obtains one random number from the random numbers for the normal symbol variation pattern generated by the normal symbol variation pattern random number generator 191 when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21. Based on the random numbers acquired by the normal symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 192 and the normal symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 192 to be acquired, a variation pattern command related to the normal symbol is determined with reference to the normal symbol variation pattern command table 194. A normal symbol variation pattern determination unit 195 and a normal symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 193 that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the normal symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 192 when the normal symbol is changing. Configured. When one game ball passes through the through chucker 21, the normal symbol variation pattern command determination unit 190 acquires one random number for the normal symbol variation pattern.

  The normal symbol variation pattern random number generator 191 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 4) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). The software random number is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the normal symbol variation pattern command table 194 includes two common symbol variation table A (194-1) and a short ordinary symbol variation table B (194-2). A figure variation table is stored. Each table includes a random number for normal symbol variation pattern and a normal symbol variation pattern No. Are previously associated with each other. Therefore, when the random number for the normal symbol variation pattern is determined, the variation pattern No. corresponding to the random number for variation pattern is referred to by referring to the respective tables. (Variation pattern command related to normal symbols) is automatically determined, and the variation pattern No. The variation time of the normal symbol corresponding to is determined.

  In the present embodiment, with reference to the general symbol variation table A (194-1), the normal symbol variation time is 8 seconds regardless of the value of any random number for the normal symbol variation pattern, and the general symbol variation table B (194). -2), the normal symbol change time is 0.5 seconds for any normal symbol change pattern random number value. The usual figure variation table A is referred to when the gaming state is “low probability of ordinary figure”, and the common figure variation table B is referred to when the gaming state is “high probability of ordinary figure”. Therefore, during the electric support, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 0.5 seconds.

  As described above, since the variation time of the normal symbol is different depending on the gaming state, in the “normal figure high probability” state of the present embodiment, the electric tulip 49 is changed after the normal symbol fluctuates for 0.5 seconds. The phenomenon of opening and closing repeatedly occurs. On the other hand, in the “normal figure low probability” state, the variation time of the normal symbol is as long as 8 seconds and the winning probability of the normal symbol is low, so the electric tulip 49 is not easily released.

  The main control processing unit 11 configured as described above has a special symbol variation pattern determined by the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a at the start of a game that is triggered by winning the first start winning opening 37a. When the command is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a and the lottery by the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a is won, the command related to the special symbol type determined by the first special symbol type lottery unit 129a is also displayed in the effect control process. To the unit 12a. Similarly, the main control processing unit 11 produces a special symbol variation pattern command determined by the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b at the start of a game that is triggered by winning the second start winning opening 37b. A command related to the special symbol type determined by the second special symbol type lottery unit 129b is also sent to the effect control processing unit 12a when the lottery is won by the second special symbol winning lottery unit 119b. Sending.

  Further, when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21, the normal symbol change pattern lottery unit 196 determines the normal symbol change pattern command and the command related to the lottery result of the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177. 12f.

  Up to this point, the description has been mainly given of the processes and game characteristics performed by the main control processing unit 11, but from here on, the sub control processing unit that controls various devices in response to commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 will be described. To do. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like. Is a device that controls the effect display device 34, the speaker 20, and other effect devices (such as LED devices) in accordance with the processing information generated by the main control processing unit 11.

  The special symbol display control unit 12b causes the special symbol display device 17 to variably display the special symbol for a predetermined time based on the special symbol variation pattern command determined by the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130, and the special symbol lottery processing unit 110. The display is controlled so as to be stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the determination. On the other hand, the normal symbol display control unit 12f causes the normal symbol display device 22 to display the normal symbol variably for a predetermined time on the basis of the normal symbol variation pattern command determined by the normal symbol variation pattern command determination unit 190. The display is controlled so as to be stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the determination by the unit 170. The basic symbol display control unit 12f has substantially the same basic configuration of display control, although the symbol to be displayed is different from the display control by the special symbol display control unit 12b described above. The lamp control processing unit 12c receives commands from the main control processing unit 11 and controls lighting of various lamps and electrical decorations.

  The payout control processing unit 12e receives a signal from the CR unit and controls the prize ball paying device 14 so as to lend out a game ball to the player. In addition, the payout control processing unit 12e receives a payout command from the main control processing unit 11 to receive a predetermined number of balls. The prize ball payout device 14 is controlled so as to pay out the prize ball to the player. The prize ball payout device 14 includes a sprocket (not shown) in which notches are formed for holding game balls one by one, and a motor (not shown) for rotating the sprocket. By controlling the rotation of the motor, the required number of prize balls can be paid out. Specifically, when the start winning opening detection sensors 43a and 43b, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the large winning opening detection sensor 45, etc. detect the passage of the game ball, the winning ball payout device 14 passes through the main control processing section 11. The game ball is paid out based on the received command.

  The firing control processing unit 13 is a device that controls the operation of the launching device 9 according to the rotation amount of the handle 7. More specifically, control processing is performed such as energizing the launching device 9, stopping energization, or changing the energization current. The launch control processing unit 13 is connected to the payout control processing unit 12e, and a launch stop signal is received when the CR unit is not connected.

  Next, the effect control processing unit 12a will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The effect control processing unit 12a responds to the effect mode determined by the effect mode determination unit 240 and the effect mode determination unit 240 that determines the effect mode used for the game effect from various effect modes (described later). An effect mode determining unit 210 that determines an effect mode, a stop symbol determining unit 230 that determines a stop symbol that is a stop mode of a dummy symbol (effect symbol), and an effect mode and a stop symbol determining unit determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 An effect display control unit (effect display control means) 220 that controls to display the stop symbol determined by 230 on the effect display device 34 is configured. In addition, the effect control processing unit 12a includes an effect mode storage unit 260 as a storage unit. In the effect mode storage unit 260, an effect pattern table 261 in which a plurality of types of effect patterns are stored, a consecutive holiday stop symbol table 262 in which display orders of a plurality of types of stop symbols are stored, and the first set of 7 Stored in a pull-back stop symbol table 263 that stores the display order of stop symbols when winning a special symbol in the “general figure high-definition” gaming state (during electric support) given after the second special symbol. Has been.

  In describing the effects, first, various effect modes set in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 shows which mode is used to shift to a plurality of types of effect modes. In the present embodiment, as the production mode, seven modes of “normal mode”, “challenge zone”, “super HW time”, “HW time”, “HW chance”, “JP mode”, and “JP chance” are provided. It has.

  The “normal mode” is an effect mode that is normally used. This “normal mode” is set when the game state is “special figure low probability” and “general figure low probability”, and also when the number of games reaches the number of electric support in other production modes. Is set. Therefore, when the performance in the “normal mode” is performed, the gaming state related to the normal symbol is “ordinary low probability”, but the gaming state related to the special symbol is “special low probability”. There are both cases where it is "Special figure high accuracy". In other words, when staying in the “normal mode”, there may be a case where there is still some remaining out of the seven limiters because it is “special figure high accuracy” internally.

  The “challenge zone” is an effect mode that is won when a special symbol is won in the “normal mode” and the stop symbol is “normal symbol” (FIG. 20A). If the winning symbol is won in this “challenge zone” and the stop symbol is “probable variation”, the process shifts to “super HW time” (FIG. 20 (c)). If the stop symbol is “normal symbol”, The process shifts to “HW chance” (FIG. 20D). On the other hand, when the electric support is completed in the “challenge zone”, the process shifts to the “normal mode” (FIG. 20 (j)).

  If “Special Mode” is won per special symbol and the type of special symbol at the time of winning is “10R Specific Short-Time Symbol 2” and “10R Specific Short-Time Symbol 5”, the electric support in “Challenge Zone” Is 30 times (Nb = 30). That is, the “challenge zone” continues for up to 30 games. In addition, in the case of “10R specified short-lived symbol 3” and “10R specific short-lived symbol 6”, the electric support is 20 times (the challenge zone is 20 games continued), and “10R specific short-lived symbol 4” and “10R specific short-lived symbol 4” In the case of “short-time symbol 7”, the electric support is 10 times (the challenge zone is 10 games continued). That is, the number of games in the “challenge zone” may be 30, 20, or 10 times.

  “Super HW Time” will be transferred not only when “Probability Variation” is stopped in “Challenge Zone” but also when “Stop” is selected for “Special Mode” and the stop symbol is “Probability Variation”. Effect mode (FIG. 20B). If you win a special symbol at this “Super HW Time” and the stop symbol is “Probable Variation”, you will stay at “Super HW Time” (FIG. 20 (f)), and the Stop symbol is “Normal”. The process shifts to “HW time” (FIG. 20E). On the other hand, when the electric support is completed in the “super HW time”, the mode shifts to the “normal mode” (FIG. 20 (k)).

  In “HW time”, if the winning symbol is selected and the stop symbol is “probable variation”, the process shifts to “super HW time” (FIG. 20 (h)). If the stop symbol is “normal symbol”, “ The process shifts to “HW chance” (FIG. 20G). On the other hand, when the electric support is completed during the “HW time”, the process shifts to the “normal mode” (FIG. 20L).

  In “HW chance”, if the winning symbol is won and the stop symbol is “probable variation”, the process shifts to “super HW time” (FIG. 20 (i)). On the other hand, when the electric support is completed in the “HW chance”, the process shifts to the “normal mode” (FIG. 20 (m)). If the winning symbol is won during the “HW chance” and the stop symbol is “JP symbol” (FIG. 20 (q)), the mode shifts to “JP mode”.

  This “HW Chance” is a mode that shifts after the seventh jackpot game that is the limiter, and you can stay at “HW Chance” depending on the game state and special symbol type at the time of winning the seventh special figure. Different number of games. Specifically, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a and is won for the seventh special drawing, the gaming state at the time of winning is “at the time of probability change limiter” (see FIG. 9A). ), The electric support is given 100 times regardless of the special symbol type (Na = 100), and when the game state is “when the inner limit is reached”, the special symbol type is “10R specified short-time symbol 1”. If the number of power support is 100 (Na = 100), “10R specified short time symbol 2”, the number of power support is 30 (Nb = 30), and “10R specific time short symbol 3”. When the number of times is “10R specified time short symbol 4”, the number of power support is 10 times. On the other hand, when a game ball wins at the second start winning opening 37b and is won per special figure for the seventh time, the game state at the time of winning is either “probability limiter” or “inner limiter” Even in the case, the number of times of electric support is 100 times (Na = 100). Therefore, the number of games played at the “HW chance” may be 10, 20, 30, or 100 times.

  When the game state is “in-progress limiter” and the special symbol type is “10R specific time short symbols 5, 6, 7” at the time of winning the special symbol, the number of electric support is 0. Accordingly, in this case, the effect mode after the seventh jackpot game of one set shifts to the “normal mode” when the electric support end (m) is established. In other words, there is no transition to “HW chance”.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the effect mode displayed on the effect display device 34 is the same in the case of the “challenge zone” and the case where the number of games in the “HW chance” is 10, 20, and 30 times. I have to. In other words, when the electric support is 10, 20, and 30 times, the same effect is performed. Therefore, the player cannot identify whether the current performance mode is “challenge zone” or “HW chance”.

  Here, in the “challenge zone”, as is apparent from FIG. 20, “JP symbol” is not displayed. On the other hand, in the case of “HW chance”, if winning is made per special chart here, the winning will be one set of 7 times for the first time, so “JP symbol” may be displayed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the effect in the case of “challenge zone” and the effect in the case of “HW chance” 10 times, 20 times, and 30 times are made the same content, so It is made to expect that "JP symbol" may be displayed when winning per figure. With this effect, the player is increasingly attracted to the game by seeing the “JP symbol”.

On the other hand, when the “HW chance” is 100 times, an effect different from the cases of 10, 20, and 30 times is performed. This is to make it possible to appeal to the player's vision that the electric support is a special section given 100 times.
In the “HW time” or “Super HW time” performed after the jackpot game, as the effect of the first half section after the jackpot game until Na times, the “HW chance” that ends in Na times after the jackpot game is common If it is made indistinguishable from the configuration that may become “JP symbol” in the first half section, it is preferable because the complexity of the game is increased and the sustained effect of interest can be improved.

  The “JP mode” is won per special symbol in the “normal mode”, and when the stop symbol is “JP symbol” (FIG. 20 (n)), as described above, during the “HW chance” This is an effect mode that shifts to the case where the winning symbol is “JP symbol” and the stop symbol is stopped and displayed (FIG. 20 (q)). The “JP mode” is not transferred until “JP symbol” is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 34. And once it shifts to the “JP mode”, it stays in the “JP mode” until the seventh jackpot game ends, and after the seventh jackpot game ends, shifts to the “JP chance” (FIG. 20 (o)). ).

  Here, as will be described in detail later, when the stop symbol is determined as “JP symbol”, it is limited to the case where the pattern 1 of the stop symbol table 262a with M = 1 is selected as shown in FIG. . Therefore, when “JP symbol” is displayed on the effect display device 34, the player can know that the current special symbol is the first of seven limiters. Therefore, when the “JP symbol” is stopped and displayed, it is decided to stay in the same “JP mode” until the seven jackpot games are consumed.

  The “JP chance” is an effect mode that shifts to after the seven jackpot games are consumed in the “JP mode” (FIG. 20 (o)). In other words, “JP Chance” is a presentation mode that is stopped and displayed once with “JP Symbol” and will not shift unless it is a big hit of 7 consecutive villas. And, as will be described in detail later, when winning for each special figure during this “JP Chance”, pattern 1 of the pullback stop symbol table 263 shown in FIG. 22 is always selected. If a special symbol is won during the “JP Chance”, the “JP symbol” is always stopped and displayed, and then the “JP mode” is entered. When the electric support is completed at “JP Chance”, the mode shifts to “normal mode” (FIG. 20 (p)).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, during the electric support after the 7th jackpot game of the first set (that is, during the JP chance), it is won per the special figure which is the first set of the second set, In the display control of the stop mode on the effect display device 34 when the type of the special symbol is determined to be “10R specified short-lived symbol 1”, the effect display control unit 220 displays “JP symbol” in the first set. If “JP symbol” is displayed in the first set, and “JP symbol” is not displayed in the first set, one of “JP symbol”, “Probability variation symbol”, and “Normal symbol” is displayed. It is a simple production composition.

  Of the above-mentioned production modes, in the case of “Super HW Time”, “HW Time”, “HW Chance”, “JP Mode”, and “JP Chance”, the big hit is made according to the contents of the state transition destination “TTM” A case in which the main variation time is 2 seconds from the first to the 99th time after the game ends, and the main variation time is 0.9 seconds after the 100th game (see FIG. 16A) occurs.

  Thus, in this embodiment, seven types of effect modes are provided, and an effect table is prepared so as to correspond to each effect mode. That is, the effect pattern storage unit 260 stores an effect pattern table 261. The effect pattern table 261 includes a normal mode table 261a that is referred to in the “normal mode” and a “challenge zone”. The challenge zone table 261b to be referred to, the super HW time table 261c to be referred to at the “super HW time”, the HW time table 261d to be referred to at the “HW time”, and the “HW chance” The table includes a HW chance table 261e to be referred to, a JP mode table 261f to be referred to in the “JP mode”, and a JP chance table 261g to be referred to in the “JP chance”.

  Each table 261a-e has a configuration in which a variation pattern command (variation time) determined by the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 is associated with an effect pattern in advance. More specifically, a variation pattern command and a production such as a production pattern corresponding to a fluctuation time of 2 seconds, a production pattern corresponding to a fluctuation time of 0.9 seconds, a production pattern corresponding to a fluctuation time of 25 seconds with reach, etc. It has a table configuration in which patterns are associated with each other. That is, an effect pattern is prepared in advance for each variation time so that one effect is finished in the determined variation time. The tables 261a to 261g are devised so that, for example, even in the same variation time, the corresponding production pattern is different in each table so that the characteristics of the production mode appear.

  The effect mode determination unit 210 is configured to select one of the tables 261a to 261a in the effect pattern table 261 based on the variation pattern command related to the game and the type of effect mode determined by the effect mode determination unit 240 at the start of the game. An effect pattern to be used this time is determined with reference to g. Then, the effect display control unit 220 performs control for displaying the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 on the effect display device 34. Further, the effect display control unit 220 also performs control to display a predetermined stop pattern on the effect display device 34 as described below after displaying a predetermined effect pattern when winning per special figure.

  Next, details of the extended time stop symbol table 262 will be described with reference to FIG. The stoppage time stop symbol table 262 stores seven stop symbol tables 262a to 262g corresponding to M = 1 to 7, respectively. In each of the seven tables, the types of stop symbols are determined as many times as the number of consecutive times including the current special figure. M = 1 means the case where “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is won in the first time out of 7 special charts constituting one set. Therefore, in the stop symbol table 262a corresponding to M = 1, stop symbols corresponding to special symbols for seven consecutive resorts are defined. In this stop symbol table 262a, patterns 1 to 19 are prepared as the display sequence of the stop symbols for seven consecutive resorts. For example, in the display order pattern 1, the first time is “JP symbol”, the second time is the probability variation symbol, The 3rd time is determined in advance so that the 4th time is the probability variation design, the 5th time is the probability variation design, the 6th time is the normal symbol, the 7th time the normal symbol is displayed on the effect display device 34 at the time of winning the advantageous special symbol. -ing

  Here, the probabilistic symbol functions as a symbol indicating that two more (A = 2) special symbols are promised except for the current special symbol. It functions as a symbol indicating that it is unclear whether or not it will be won. For this reason, the player knows that the 3 consecutive villas will be promised, including this time, when the probability variation symbol is displayed, and feels as if he has acquired the 3 consecutive villas with his skill and luck. While the game will be played with excitement, if the normal symbol is displayed, the player expects that this hit may be the upper limit of the limiter, but expects it not yet the upper limit of the limiter While playing games.

  Further, the “JP symbol” functions as a symbol indicating that six special symbols are promised except for the current special symbol. Therefore, once “JP symbol” is displayed, even if the dummy symbol stop mode at the time of winning six special symbols is “probable variation” or “normal symbol”, It will know that it is possible to win 7 special symbols including the special symbol when “JP symbol” is displayed.

  In each of the stop symbol tables 262a to 262e with M = 1 to 5, the stop symbols for the remaining two special symbols are determined in advance so that normal symbols are always displayed. More specifically, in the stop symbol table 262a, the sixth and seventh times are displayed in a display order in which normal symbols are always displayed in any of the display order patterns 1 to 19. This is because, since the upper limit of the limiter is reached in the remaining two times, if the probability variation symbol is displayed, it is not possible to promise a special figure per two times from there. For example, if you display a probable symbol for the 6th time, it will indicate to the player that a special figure for 3 consecutive villas has been promised, including the 6th time, but in reality the upper limit of the limiter will be reached at the 7th time. As a result, the 8th special drawing is not compensated. In order to prevent such a contradiction, normal symbols are always displayed at the sixth and seventh times. The same applies to other stop symbol tables. Further, the stop symbol table 262f with M = 6 and the stop symbol table 262g with M = 7 have contents that always display a normal symbol because the number of consecutive games is two or less.

  In addition, if you are lucky enough to win a special map in the 100 times of “Utsuzu Takashin” (during electric support) given after the end of the 7th special map, a second set of 7 consecutive resorts will be promised. Will be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a pullback stop symbol table 263 is provided. The pull-back stop symbol table 263 also stores twelve common display order patterns that predetermine the stop symbol display order for the special symbols for seven consecutive houses. In the display order pattern stored in the pull-back stop symbol table 263, for the same reason as described above, the sixth and seventh times are always determined to stop at the normal symbol. In addition, for the display patterns 1 to 8, the first stop symbol is a probable change symbol, and for the display patterns 9 to 12, the first stop symbol is a normal symbol.

  In addition, pattern 1 of the stop symbol table 262a of M = 1 is selected in the first set, and it is won per the first special figure of the second set during the electric support after the seventh jackpot game of the first set ends. In this case, it is set in advance so that pattern 1 of the pull-back stop symbol table 263 is always selected. Therefore, when “JP symbol” is displayed at the time of winning the special figure in the normal mode, the big hit game of 7 consecutive villas is confirmed from there and the special figure is displayed during the electric support after the big hit game of the seventh consecutive resort. When winning a win, the “JP symbol” is always stopped and displayed, and the second set of 7 consecutive villain jackpots is confirmed. Then, the player knows this situation by displaying the “JP symbol”.

  By displaying the stop symbol at the time of the special symbol in accordance with the stop symbol table 262a-g and the pull-back stop symbol table 263 configured as described above, the player is relieved to display the probability variable symbol and the normal symbol. By displaying the symbols, you will feel as if you have made a special figure with your skill and luck, and you will be satisfied.

  Next, the procedure of the game process of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 23, which one of the first start winning port 37a and the second starting winning port 37b is the starting winning port. Since the game-related processing is the same even if the game ball wins, the case where the game ball wins the first start winning port 37a will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the main control processing unit 11 determines whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the first special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112a acquires a special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit, and the first special symbol type determination random number acquisition unit 122a acquires a special symbol type. A random number for determination is acquired, and the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a acquires a random number for the special symbol variation pattern (step S2). If the special symbol is fluctuating (Yes in step S3), the special symbol success / failure random number obtained in step S2 is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the special symbol type determining random number is first. The special symbol variation determining random number storage unit 124a stores the special symbol variation pattern random number in the first special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133a (step S4), and returns to the position before step S3. Wait until the game related to winning a prize starts.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is not fluctuating, that is, when the game order has come (No in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5 to perform a special symbol hit determination process. That is, the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a determines whether or not the acquired special symbol success / failure determination random number is per special symbol. Next, the process proceeds to step S6, and a special symbol type determination process is performed. Specifically, when the result of the special symbol per-determination process in step S5 is determined to be per special symbol, the first special symbol type determining unit 124a uses the special symbol type determining random number acquired in step S2. Based on this, the type of special symbol for that special figure is determined. That is, with reference to FIG. 7, one special symbol type is determined in step S6 from “10R specific short symbol 1” to “10R specific short symbol 7”.

  Although not shown, in this embodiment, even if it is determined that the game has been lost in step S5, in step S6, a special symbol type determination process is once performed to determine a command related to the special symbol type. However, when it is determined that the game is lost in step S5, a program is set up so that the command related to the type of the special symbol related to the determination is discarded. Therefore, in the case of a loss in step S5, the command related to the special symbol type is not included in the game command output to the effect control processing unit 12a. Of course, in the case of a loss in step S5, the process of step S6 may be jumped.

  Next, a special symbol variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S7. In the special symbol variation pattern command determination process, based on the acquired special symbol variation pattern random number, the first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a selects one of the variation pattern tables TT, QB, TC, SPC, TZ, NOR. To determine the variation pattern command (variation time).

  Next, in step S8, effect mode determination processing is performed. In this effect mode determination process, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to any of the effect pattern tables 261a to 261e and determines an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern command as an effect pattern used for the current game. Furthermore, in this step S8, in order to display the result of the current game, processing related to determination of the stop symbol is performed. The stop symbol determination process will be described in detail later.

  Next, in step S9, the special symbol change is started, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect pattern determined in step S8 on the effect display device. Next, in step S10, the variation of the special symbol is stopped, and in synchronization with that, the display of the effect pattern is stopped and the predetermined stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Next, when the stopped special symbol is confirmed with a combination per special symbol (Yes in step S11), the jackpot game control unit 160 determines a predetermined attacker release pattern (full open or high speed) according to the type of special symbol. Open the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game (step S12). Next, in step S13, the game state setting unit 140 sets the game state of the special symbol and the normal symbol in the next game.

  When the game state in the next game is set in step S13, the process related to one game is completed. In the case of No in step S11, the game state of the next game is set by proceeding to step S13 without providing the jackpot game. If the answer is No in step S1, the game ends without playing the game.

  Next, details of the stop symbol determination process performed in step S8 will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. FIG. In the stop symbol determination process, first, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether or not the result of the special symbol per unit determination process in step S5 is per special symbol (step S31). If it is not a special symbol, that is, if it is a loss (No in step S31), the process proceeds to step S32, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 determines the stop symbol as a lose symbol. On the other hand, if it is per special symbol (Yes in step S31), the process proceeds to step S33, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 determines that the special symbol type determined in the special symbol type determining process in step S6 is “10R specified short-lived”. It is determined whether or not the symbol is “1”. If it is not “10R specified short-lived symbol 1” (No in step S33), the stop symbol determination unit 230 proceeds to step S34 and determines “break” as the stop symbol. In addition, the “breaking eyes” refers to a mode in which three dummy symbols are stopped one by one in ascending or descending order, for example, a mode in which 2-3 dummy symbols are stopped in 2-3-4, etc. say.

  On the other hand, in the case of “10R specified short-lived symbol 1” in step S33 (Yes in step S33), the process proceeds to step S35, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 has the “10R specific short-lived symbol 1” in the first set. It is determined whether or not. If it is not the first set, that is, if No in step S35, the process proceeds to step S52 in FIG. In step S <b> 52, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether or not the current “10R specific time short symbol 1” is the first time. In the case of Yes in step S52, the process proceeds to step S53, and one of the common display order patterns 1 to 12 stored in the pull-back stop symbol table 263 referenced after the second set is determined by lottery. Then, according to the common display order pattern related to the determination, the stop symbol indicating the current special symbol is determined. For example, when the common display order pattern 7 is determined, since the current special symbol is the first time, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the probability variation symbol as a stop symbol.

  Here, in step S53, when the stop symbol at the time of winning the first set of special symbols is “JP symbol”, that is, when the display sequence pattern of the first set of stop symbols is determined, When the pattern is determined as the pattern 1 with reference to the stop symbol table 262a of M = 1, the stop symbol determination unit 230 always determines the pattern 1 as the second display order pattern. Therefore, in this case, “JP symbol” is displayed on the effect display device 34 as the stop symbol at the time of the first special symbol of the second set.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step S52, since the common display order pattern has already been determined in step S53 at the time of the previous first special symbol, the stop symbol determination unit 230 proceeds to step S54, In accordance with the already determined common display order pattern, a predetermined stop symbol (either a probable variation symbol or a normal symbol) is determined according to how many times this special symbol is present.

  Here, as I mentioned earlier, there is one set from the winning of the first special figure to the winning of the seventh special figure in “Special figure low accuracy” and “Normal figure low accuracy”. It is the first set, and the second set is the first set from winning the hit per special figure during the electric support after the seventh special figure of the first set until winning the winner for the seventh special figure. The third set is the one set from the time of winning again per special figure during the electric support after the second special figure in the second set until the winning per seventh special figure. The same applies to the fourth set, the fifth set, and so on. In addition, during the electric support after the 7th special figure, the first special figure will be awarded for the first special figure in “Special figure low accuracy” and “Normal figure low accuracy” for a while after that. One set from winning to winning for the 7th special drawing becomes the first set again.

  Returning to FIG. 24, in the case of Yes in step S35, the process proceeds to step S36, and the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether the current “10R specific time short symbol 1” is the first in the first set. Judging. If it is the first one (Yes in step S36), the process proceeds to step S38, and this “10R specified short time symbol 1” is for the first special figure out of the first to seventh times. That is, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether or not M = 1. In the case of Yes in step S38, the process proceeds to step S39, and the stop symbol determination unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262a of M = 1, and the display order patterns 1 to 19 stored in the stop symbol table 262a. One pattern is determined by lottery. Since the current special symbol is the first time of consecutive resorts, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first time as the stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 when the special symbol is hit.

  At this time, when the display order pattern 1 of the stop symbol table 262a of M = 1 is selected, the “JP symbol” corresponding to the first time is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 34.

  In the case of No in step S38, the process proceeds to step S40, and whether or not the current “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is for the second special figure out of the first to seventh times, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether the number is 2. In the case of Yes in step S40, the process proceeds to step S41, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262b of M = 2 and displays the display order patterns 1 to 10 stored in the stop symbol table 262b. One pattern is determined by lottery. Since the current special symbol is the first time of consecutive resorts, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first time as the stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 when the special symbol is hit.

  In the case of No in step S40, the process proceeds to step S42, and whether or not the current “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is for the third special chart among the first to seventh times, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether or not the number is 3. In the case of Yes in step S42, the process proceeds to step S43, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262c of M = 3, and the display order patterns 1 to 6 stored in the stop symbol table 262c. One pattern is determined by lottery. Since the current special symbol is the first time of consecutive resorts, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first time as the stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 when the special symbol is hit.

  In the case of No in step S42, the process proceeds to step S44, and whether or not the current “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is for the fourth special chart out of the first to seventh times, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether or not the number is 4. In the case of Yes in step S44, the process proceeds to step S45, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262d of M = 4, and the display order patterns 1-2 stored in the stop symbol table 262d. One pattern is determined by lottery. Since the current special symbol is the first time of consecutive resorts, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first time as the stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 when the special symbol is hit.

  In the case of No in step S44, the process proceeds to step S46, and whether or not the current “10R specified short time symbol 1” is for the fifth special chart among the first to the seventh time, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether the number is 5. In the case of Yes in step S46, the process proceeds to step S47, and the stop symbol determining unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262e of M = 5, and the display order patterns 1-2 stored in the stop symbol table 262e. One pattern is determined by lottery. Since the current special symbol is the first time of consecutive resorts, the stop symbol determination unit 230 determines the stop symbol corresponding to the first time as the stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 when the special symbol is hit.

  In the case of No in step S46, the process proceeds to step S48, and whether or not the current “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is for the sixth special chart among the first to the seventh time, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether the number is 6. In the case of Yes in step S48, the process proceeds to step S49, and the stop symbol determination unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262f of M = 6, and follows the display order pattern 1 stored in the stop symbol table 262f, The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines a stop symbol corresponding to the first time as a stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 at the time of hitting the special symbol this time.

  In the case of No in step S48, the process proceeds to step S50, and whether or not the current “10R specified short-time symbol 1” is for the seventh special figure out of the first to seventh times, that is, M = The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines whether the number is 7. In the case of Yes in step S50, the process proceeds to step S51, and the stop symbol determination unit 230 refers to the stop symbol table 262g of M = 7, and follows the display order pattern 1 stored in the stop symbol table 262g. The stop symbol determination unit 230 determines a stop symbol corresponding to the first time as a stop symbol to be displayed on the effect display device 34 at the time of hitting the special symbol this time.

  In the case of No in step S36, since the display order pattern has already been determined at the time of winning the previous special figure, a stop symbol is determined according to the pattern (step S37). If the answer is No in step S50, a return is returned.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, when the stop symbol at the time of winning for the first special drawing of the first set is “JP symbol”, the first time of the second set Since the “JP symbol” is displayed even when the special figure is won, the player can greatly rejoice that the 7 consecutive villas have been confirmed. Moreover, since it is possible to know from the “JP symbol” that 7 consecutive villas have been confirmed, it is possible to enjoy the game with peace of mind. In addition, when “JP symbol” is not displayed in the stop symbol at the time of winning for the first special set of the first set, the stop symbol at the time of winning for the first special symbol of the second set is “JP symbol”, “ Since it is either “probable variation symbol” or “normal symbol”, it is also possible to provide pleasure for the player to predict how many times the limiter remains.

  In this way, in this embodiment, in the limiter machine of 7 times, clearly using the effect of notifying how many times the jackpot remains by the mode of the stop symbol and the effect of making it ambiguous, In the case that the person notices it, they devised a way not to perform the gaze effect.
