Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine having a small hit.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko machine that is a ball game machine, a special design starting port is configured with an ordinary electric accessory, and the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is extended beyond the normal gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state ( A device having a function (also referred to as electric support or electric support) is widely known. The open extension function is an advantageous state for the player who can play the game without reducing the ball, that is, while maintaining the base. In addition, such a pachinko machine is also provided with a probability variation function (also referred to as a probability change) function that varies the lottery probability related to the special symbol winning lottery with a higher probability than the normal gaming state together with the opening extension function. There are many. In such a configuration, for example, when winning with a jackpot 1, the probability variation function and the open extension function are both activated, and when winning with a jackpot 2, only the probability variation function is activated. A gaming machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1) has been devised in which the two states are both in the probability-changing gaming state but have a difference in the degree of advantage depending on the presence or absence of the opening extension function.

  Moreover, it is not uncommon for modern gaming machines including the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 described above to have a small hit. Taking the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 as an example, the gaming machine has the same opening time (opening pattern) of the big prize opening, and after the opening operation of the big winning opening, both the opening extension function is not provided. It is configured to have a small hit 1 and a big hit 4 (sudden probability change), and the probability variation function does not operate when the small hit is 1, but operates when the big hit is 4. By configuring in this way, a so-called “latent probability variation effect” is made possible in which it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability variation state is caused by the big hit 4 (sudden probability variation). The small hit is not limited to the gaming machine, but has a function as a so-called “sudden probability change”, and is generally provided for the purpose of performing the effect.

JP 2006-1116016 A

By the way, in recent years, with a pachinko machine having a simple game configuration, even if it is introduced into a game store, the actual situation is that the player is immediately bored and the operating rate does not increase. Therefore, the development of pachinko machines has become more and more apt to pursue more profound and complex game configurations, especially in configurations that generate a difference in the degree of interest, in pursuit of fun.
However, in this respect, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 described above has a simple configuration in which the degree of advantage varies depending on whether or not the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory during probability change is activated. That is, the state in which the opening extension function is operating is not configured to have a difference in the advantage in the state, and is in a state where the advantage is uniformly high all at once. Therefore, in the present situation where the game configuration is complicated, such a configuration has a problem that the operation rate does not increase because the game is not deep and is not interesting.
Further, as described above, the role of the small hit has only the function of “sudden probability change”, and is merely provided for the purpose of “latent probability change effect”. For this reason, the function and use of the small hits lacked the novelty that became rut. In addition, even though the small hits were the opportunity to open the big prize opening with visual impact, it could not be said that they were fully utilized.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention has an amusing and timeless gaming structure with a difference in the degree of advantage in the operating state of the opening extension function, and an amusing and interesting ball that uses the small hits for a novel purpose and effectively. The object is to provide a gaming machine.

According to the ball game machine of claim 1, when the first variation table and the second variation table having a difference in the advantage are provided as the variation table, and when a small hit is made during the extension period of the open utility, Change the fluctuation table. Thereby, the operation period of the opening extension function of the ordinary electric utility which is originally advantageous can be constituted by different periods with different degrees of advantage. Therefore, even if the gaming state is not changed, the substantial advantage can be changed, and a new function can be assigned to the small hit. In addition, in the extended period of high-utility power train extension, we will provide a more advantageous state and a lower state to make the game structure more elaborate, so that it will never get bored with depth and fun By doing so, the operating rate can be improved.
In the state where the first variation table is selected, the variation of the special symbol based on the second reserved memory is shorter than the second variation time compared to the state where the second variation table is selected. In this case, the second reserved memory is consumed relatively quickly. For this reason, the fluctuation | variation based on 1st pending | holding memory | storage will become easy to generate | occur | produce and it can be set as a comparatively disadvantageous state. On the other hand, in the state where the second variation table is selected, the variation of the special symbol based on the second reserved storage is longer than the first variation time compared to the state where the first variation table is selected. The second reserved memory is digested relatively slowly, in other words, it is difficult to digest. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the fluctuation | variation based on 1st reservation memory | storage to generate | occur | produce, and it can be set as a comparatively advantageous state. As described above, the execution ratio of the success / failure determination based on the first reserved storage can be made higher when the first variation table is selected than the second variation table, and it is possible to make a difference in the degree of advantage. It becomes.
In addition, when the second variation table having a relatively high advantage is set, if winning a small hit, it is changed to the first variation table having a relatively low advantage, so that the game state is not changed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the general advantage, and it is possible to achieve a game characteristic peculiar to using the small hit.
Furthermore, when a small hit occurs, it can be clearly recognized that the advantage will be reduced due to the visual impact of opening the big winning opening in the small hit game.

According to the ball game machine of claim 2, when the first variation table and the second variation table having a difference in the advantage are provided as the variation table, and a small hit is made during the extension period of the open-air service, Change the fluctuation table. Thereby, the operation period of the opening extension function of the ordinary electric utility which is originally advantageous can be constituted by different periods with different degrees of advantage. Therefore, even if the gaming state is not changed, the substantial advantage can be changed, and a new function can be assigned to the small hit. In addition, in the extended period of high-utility power train extension, we will provide a more advantageous state and a lower state to make the game structure more elaborate, so that it will never get bored with depth and fun By doing so, the operating rate can be improved.
In the state where the first variation table is selected, the variation of the special symbol based on the second reserved memory is shorter than the second variation time compared to the state where the second variation table is selected. In this case, the second reserved memory is consumed relatively quickly. For this reason, the fluctuation | variation based on 1st pending | holding memory | storage will become easy to generate | occur | produce and it can be set as a comparatively disadvantageous state. On the other hand, in the state where the second variation table is selected, the variation of the special symbol based on the second reserved storage is longer than the first variation time compared to the state where the first variation table is selected. The second reserved memory is digested relatively slowly, in other words, it is difficult to digest. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the fluctuation | variation based on 1st reservation memory | storage to generate | occur | produce, and it can be set as a comparatively advantageous state. As described above, the execution ratio of the success / failure determination based on the first reserved storage can be made higher when the first variation table is selected than the second variation table, and it is possible to make a difference in the degree of advantage. It becomes.
In addition, because the change contents of the change table setting means are different depending on the type of small hits, the function of the small hits is even more novel, and the game structure that produces a difference in the advantage due to the small hits is made complicated and diverse. A variety of games can be realized.
Furthermore, whether or not to change to an advantageous variation table and whether to change to an unfavorable variation table is determined by the type of variation table currently set and the type of winning small hits. There are a wide variety of changes in the degree of advantage due to winning, and the player can be very interested in small hits .

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 performs a lottery determination for the usual figure by entering the starting gate 21 and starts the symbol variation of the ordinary (ordinary symbol) display device 18. If the lottery result is a win, the normal symbol display device 18 confirms and displays the normal symbol win symbol and releases the common utility. As a result, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 22B.
When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A, the first special figure is determined by lottery, and the first special figure display device 16A and the effect symbol display device 15 start changing the symbols. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16A. If the lottery result is a small hit, a small hit game described later is executed.
Similarly, if there is a ball in the second special figure starting port 22B, the second special figure is determined whether or not to win, and the second special figure display device 16B and the effect symbol display device 15 start symbol variation. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16B. If the lottery result is a small hit, a small hit game described later is executed. The effect symbol display device 15 displays decorative symbols and effects corresponding to the first or second special symbol.
If there is a ball entering the first or second special figure starting port 22A, 22B during symbol variation, the first or second special figure is stored on hold according to the ball entered. When there is a hold of the second special drawing, the variation of the second special drawing and the lottery determination are executed in preference to the first special drawing.
After the big hit game ends, the probabilistic function that increases the probability of winning and the change time of the special symbol are shortened and the opening time of the electric utility (second special figure starting port 22B) is extended. A privilege gaming state in which a short-time function including a function (also referred to as support or electric Chu support) is provided. In addition, the bonus game state varies depending on the conditions for winning the big hit, and the period of time reduction varies. Further, after the special game is finished, the variation pattern of the first and second special figures is changed according to the progress of the game, and as a feature of the present invention, when the small hit is generated and the small hit game is ended. It is configured as follows.

  The outline of the “main routine” of the program processing executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The “main routine” is composed of the main processing (S100 to S111, S115) and the remaining processing (S112). The main routine is started due to an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms or 4 ms, and first determines whether the interrupt is normal. (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), the initial value random number update process (S101), the big hit determination random number update process (S102), the big hit symbol determination random number update process (S103), the normal hit determination random number update Processing (S104), update processing of random numbers for determination of hitting symbols for ordinary drawings (S105), update processing of random numbers for reach determination regarding reach of special symbols (S106), update processing of random numbers for determination of variation patterns regarding variation patterns of special diagrams (S107), winning confirmation process (S108), success / failure determination process (S109), each output process (S110), fraud monitoring process (S111), and within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input The initial value random number update process (S112) is looped.

Next, a description will be given of a part of subroutines of the winning / failing determination process (S109), the winning confirmation process (S108), and each output process (S110) which are deeply related to the present invention.
The “start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 6 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108). First, it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A (S200), there is a ball (S200: yes), and the reserved memory of the first special figure is not full (S201: no), In the process of S202, a plurality of types of random numbers (such as a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc.) relating to the first special figure are extracted, and are mainly stored as a reserved memory of the first special figure. It is stored in the memory of the control device 80 (maximum 4). Then, the display control of the first special figure hold number display device 17A and the command of the first special figure hold number are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

Subsequently, it is confirmed in the process of S203 whether there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 22B. If there is a ball (S203: yes), and the reserved memory of the second special figure is not full (S204: no). ), A plurality of types of random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc.) relating to the second special figure are extracted in the process of S205, and the second special figure is stored on hold. Are stored in the memory of the main controller 80 (maximum of four). Then, the display control of the second special figure reservation number display device 17B and the command of the second special figure reservation number are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.
Note that the memory of the main controller 80 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to store the reserved storage of the first special figure and the second special figure with the upper limit number being four each.
That is, the main controller 80 stores various random numbers as numerical data acquired as a result of entering the first special figure starting port 22A in S202 and S205 as the first reserved memory, and the second special figure. Various random numbers as numerical data acquired due to entering the starting port 22B are stored as second reserved storage, and S202 and S205 are reserved storage means of the present invention.

  7 to 11 show a flowchart of the “win / fail determination process”. As shown in FIG. 7, the “win / fail determination process” confirms whether the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation, and if it is not in operation (S300: no), the symbol (first or second) (2 special figure) is checked to see if it is changing. If it is not changing (S301: no), it is checked whether the confirmed symbol of the first or second special figure is displayed (S302). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 8, it is confirmed whether there is a reserved memory of the second special figure (S310). If there is a hold memory of the second special figure (S310: yes), the number of the hold memories of the second special figure is subtracted, a shift process of the hold memory of the second special figure is performed (S311), and the process proceeds to S314. . By the shift process, the oldest stored memory among the stored memories in the second special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.
If there is no reserved memory for the second special figure (S310: no), it is checked whether there is a reserved memory for the first special figure in S312, and if there is a reserved memory for the first special figure (S312: yes), the first special figure is obtained. The number of reserved memories in the figure is subtracted, and the shift process of the reserved memory of the first special figure is performed (S313), and the process proceeds to S314. As a result, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.
In this way, by confirming the reserved memory of the second special figure before the reserved memory of the first special figure, the success / failure lottery of the second special figure is prioritized over the lottery determination (correction determination) of the first special figure. To be executed. Therefore, even if there is a reserved memory relating to the first special figure, unless all the reserved memories relating to the second special figure are digested, the determination of success / failure by S315 or S316 described later is not executed for the first special figure.
That is, S310 and S312 which the main controller 80 executes in the success / failure determination process preferentially executes the success / failure determination based on the second reserved memory rather than the appropriateness determination based on the first reserved memory. This corresponds to the right / wrong determination priority means.
The second success / failure determination priority unit gives priority to the determination of success / failure based on the first hold memory by executing only when the second hold memory is completely executed and no hold is made. .
If neither the second special chart or the first special chart is stored on hold (S312: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".

Next, in the process of S314, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is in the probability variation (high probability) (if the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S314: yes), the big hit is made by comparing the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change with the big hit determination random number of the hold memory (the first hold memory or the second hold memory) that is the target of the success / failure determination. It is determined whether or not (S315).
If the probability change is not in progress (S314: no), a normal probability (low probability) success / failure determination table and a jackpot determination random number for the hold memory (first hold memory or second hold memory) to be the object of the success / failure determination are obtained. In contrast, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S316).
As described above, S315 and S316 executed by the main control device 80 in the success / failure determination process are the success / failure determination means of the present invention for performing the determination of the special symbol based on the first reserved memory or the second reserved memory. .

In the subsequent process of S317, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S315 or S316 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S317: yes), in the process of S318, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination.

  The jackpot symbols determined in the process of S318 are determined differently depending on the jackpot by the winning lottery of the first special figure and the jackpot by the winning lottery of the second special figure. As shown in FIG. 11, one symbol is determined from the seven types of “special symbol 1 symbol 1 to special symbol 1 symbol 7” as the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol. On the other hand, as the jackpot symbol of the second special symbol, one symbol is determined from four types of “special symbol 2 symbol 1 to special symbol 2 symbol 4”.

Based on the jackpot symbol determined in this way, the mode of the jackpot game (the mode of opening the jackpot 25) and the contents of the bonus game state after the jackpot game are assigned.
Note that the jackpot by the winning lottery of the first special figure corresponds to the first jackpot game of the present invention, and the jackpot by the winning lottery of the second special figure corresponds to the second jackpot game of the present invention.
For example, in “Special Figure 1 Symbol 1”, the winning prize opening 25 is released for 15 rounds for 15 seconds, and in “Special Figure 1 Symbol 4”, the winning prize opening 25 is released for 6.0 seconds for 2 rounds. Are assigned.
In the first special figure, “probability change (probability fluctuation function)” is given as the bonus game state after the big hit game in any of the symbols until the first and second special figures have a lottery count of 60. In addition, when the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low probability and short time non-operation”, the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low time operation with low probability” until the first and second special drawings have reached 60 times. ”And“ High-probability time-saving operation ”, a bonus game that assigns“ time-shortness (time-short function) ”is assigned until the number of successful / frozen lotteries of the first and second special drawings reaches 100.

In the second special figure, for example, “Special Figure 2 Symbol 1” is opened for 15 seconds for 28 seconds of the special winning opening 25, and “Special Figure 1 Symbol 4” is opened for 6.0 seconds for the special prize opening 25. A big hit game mode of 2 rounds is assigned.
In the second special figure, “probability change (probability changing function)” is given as the bonus game state after the big hit game in any of the symbols until the first and second special figures are numbered to be 60. In addition, when the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low probability and short time non-operation”, the game state at the time of success / failure determination is “low time operation with low probability” until the first and second special drawings have reached 60 times. ”And“ High-probability time-saving operation ”, a bonus game that assigns“ time-shortness (time-short function) ”is assigned until the number of successful / frozen lotteries of the first and second special drawings reaches 100.

In this way, the first special chart and the second special chart are different in the mode of the big hit game and the allocation of the contents of the bonus game state after the big hit game. In this embodiment, when paying attention to the mode of the big hit game (the number of open rounds and the open time), the first special figure has a smaller number of rounds (for example, 8 rounds, 4 rounds, or 2) than the second special figure. Round) and a short opening time (for example, 6.0 seconds). That is, the expected value of the number of prize balls generated during the big hit game is configured so that the number of prize balls that can be expected from the second special figure is larger than that from the first special figure. The That is, in the aspect of the big hit game, the second special figure is more advantageous for the player than the first special figure.
In other words, the second jackpot game is a jackpot game that is more advantageous for winning prize balls than the first jackpot game. That is, in a state where only the variation display due to the second special figure is executed, rather than the state in which the variation display due to the second special figure and the fluctuation display due to the first special figure occur together, It becomes an advantageous state for the player.

In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the probability variation function is applied 60 times in each of the first special diagram and the second special diagram, whereas the short-time function is applied 60 times. Or it is set to 100 times. Therefore, in the state in which the probability variation function is activated (the probability variation flag is set to 1 and the probability variation table is referred to in S315 described later), the time reduction function (open extension of the ordinary electric accessory) Function) is also configured to operate. Accordingly, in this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not it is the operation period of the open extension function linked with the probability change function after the jackpot game ends (the normal power release extension period of the present invention) by checking the probability change flag. It has become.
In addition, as an embodiment of the present invention, it is only necessary to have a time-shortening function (a function of opening and extending a normal electric accessory), and it is not necessary to have an ST function, that is, a probability changing function (number-of-times switching probability changing function).

In the process of S319 of FIG. 8, the winning variation pattern is determined based on the variation random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination.
As shown in FIG. 12, both the first special figure and the second special figure are 6 when the game state at the time of the winning / losing lottery is a big hit (winning) with a “normal probability and no electric support (no short time)”. One pattern is determined from the hit variation pattern of the type.
As shown in FIG. 13, both the first special figure and the second special figure are 6 even when the gaming state at the time of the winning / losing lottery is a big hit (winning) in a state of “high probability with electric support (with short time)”. One pattern is determined from the hit variation pattern of the type.

  After determining the hit variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S320 of FIG. In this process, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 14, and first, the determined jackpot symbol is referred to (S400). Based on the jackpot symbol, the mode of jackpot game is set (S401). In the subsequent processes of S402 and S403, a probability change and a short time are given as the bonus game state after the big hit game, but during the big hit game, the transition to the normal game state is once controlled, so the positive change before the big hit game ends. The probability change grant flag indicating that the time is reached and the time saving grant flag indicating that the time is short before the end of the big hit game are set to 1. Thus, at the end of the big hit game (S527, S528), the probability variation or time reduction function is activated with reference to the probability variation grant flag or the time reduction grant flag.

In the process of S404, the variation table for determining the variation pattern of the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure from the next time is set.
As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the variation table is prepared with a plurality of types of tables according to the gaming state and the first special figure and the second special figure.
That is, the main control device 80, as a symbol display device, determines whether or not the special symbol is based on the first reserved memory (the reserved memory according to the first special figure) or the second reserved memory (the reserved memory according to the second special figure). The first special figure display device 16A or the second special figure display device 16B includes a plurality of types of fluctuation tables that are referred to when the special symbols are displayed in a variable manner. The variation table includes a variation pattern, and the variation time of each special symbol is set in the variation pattern, as will be described later.

Here, the contents of the various variation tables of the present embodiment and the variation patterns constituting the variation tables will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18.
FIG. 17 (a) shows a variation table used for both the first special figure and the second special figure in a low-probability and short-time-less gaming state (normal game). 51 types of variation patterns including reach, and different variation times are set for each variation pattern. The average fluctuation time at the time of losing is about 12 seconds. The variation table has a plurality of types of big hit variation patterns (not shown).

  FIG. 17B shows a first variation table used in the second special figure in a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and the first variation table is an average as a variation pattern at the time of loss (including a small hit time). It has a pattern with a variation time of 0.6 seconds. The variation pattern indicates that the opening interval from the opening of the electric utility to the next opening is larger than the average number of incoming balls when the electric utility is opened once at the second special figure starting port 22B. Is set to a fluctuation time in which the number of fluctuations of the second special figure increases. The first variation table has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).

The variation time at the time of loss is not limited to a configuration including only one pattern of 0.6 seconds, but may be configured to include a plurality of times. In that case, the average fluctuation time may be 0.6 seconds. Then, when the fluctuation time is extended due to the reach effect or the like, the possibility of winning the utility service during that time becomes high, and the possibility that the second special figure fluctuates continuously becomes high. The expectation for the big hit by the reach and the expectation that the second special figure fluctuates continuously can produce a great pleasure.
Also, the big hit variation pattern may be configured uniformly in 0.6 seconds. Because both the big hit and the loss are determined in an instant, it will be judged in a short time whether it is changing in the second special figure, whether it is a big hit or a loss, and it will be a game with high tension I can do it.
Of course, a configuration in which the average fluctuation time is 0.6 seconds may be used. There may be cases where they are all together, or they may be greeted with a reach production, and the production will be diverse. Further, when the reach effect occurs, the possibility that the second special figure continuously fluctuates is increased as described above, so that the joy generated is increased.
That is, the first variation table is a variation table in which the average variation time of the special symbol based on the second reserved storage of the present invention is set to, for example, 0.6 seconds as the first variation time.

FIG. 17C shows a second variation table used in the second special figure in a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and the second variation table is reached as a variation pattern at the time of a loss (including a small hit time). Are included, and different variation times are set for each variation pattern. The average fluctuation time at the time of losing is about 3.5 seconds. These fluctuation patterns correspond to the opening from the opening of the electric utility to the next opening relative to the average number of incoming balls when the electric utility of the second special figure starting port 22B is opened once. The change time is set such that the number of changes in the second special figure at the interval is reduced. The second variation table has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).
Note that the second variation table may have a uniform 3.5 second configuration, similar to the first variation table.
That is, the second variation table is a variation table in which the average variation time of the special symbol based on the second reserved storage of the present invention is set to, for example, an average of about 3.5 seconds as the second variation time.
Thus, the second variation time of the present invention is set as a time longer than the first variation time.

The fluctuation table shown in FIG. 18 (a) is used in the first special figure in a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and includes 50 kinds of reach including a reach as a fluctuation pattern at the time of loss (including a time of small hits). A pattern is provided, and the average fluctuation time when lost is about 1.5 seconds. In addition, it has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).
The fluctuation table shown in FIG. 18B is used in the first special figure and the second special figure in a low-probability and short-lived gaming state, and is reached as a fluctuation pattern at the time of a loss (including a small hit time). The average fluctuation time at the time of loss is about 3.0 seconds. In addition, it has a big hit variation pattern (not shown).

  It should be noted that the variation of the first special figure may be configured to include only one type of pattern having a variation time of 1.5 seconds. As game playability in such a case, the big hit in the first special figure is not very happy for the player. Therefore, what is disappointing as a result of reach-losing production etc. is omitted, and the display is changed relatively simply. It is good also as a structure which performs.

  Moreover, it is also conceivable that only one type of pattern having a variation time of 3.0 seconds is provided even at a big hit. If a hit that is unfavorable to the player is generated by a simple performance, a reach occurs (in the case of a configuration that performs a reach effect at the time of a big hit change or a loss change), that is, a change related to the second special figure. Can be immediately recognized by the player, and the reach can be further enhanced.

  Returning to FIG. 14, in the fluctuation table counter setting process of S405, the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special symbol is counted, and the first fluctuation table and the second fluctuation table for the second special figure are changed. Set the count value for The count value is set to a different value for each jackpot symbol referenced in the process of S400 (see the first variation table column in FIG. 11).

In the subsequent probability change counter setting process in S406 and the time-shortage counter setting process in S407, a count value for setting the duration of probability change and the time-shortening duration is set. These count the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure, and when the count value is reached, the probability change and the continuation of time reduction are stopped. Note that these count values are set to different values for each jackpot symbol referenced in the process of S400 (see FIG. 11). Then return.
The setting of the variation table, the variation table counter, the probability variation counter, and the time reduction counter is substantially set in “special game processing” to be described later, and the processing of S404, S405, S406, and S407 is provisional setting processing.

Returning to FIG. 8, the processing flow (S360 to S375) at the time of occurrence of a small hit, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described.
In the above-described processing of S317, if it is not a big hit (S317: no), next, the main control device 80 executes a determination process as to whether or not it is a small hit in S360 (S360). If the determination is affirmative (S360: yes), the process proceeds to S365. If the determination is negative (S360: no), the process proceeds to S390.

  In addition, the success / failure determination processing shown here includes a configuration in which the big hit determination and the small hit determination are performed at different timings, and one timing, that is, whether the random number value is included in the big hit or the small hit area A processing configuration for determining (whether or not to lose at the same time) is also included. In this case, it is assumed that the range of values assigned to the jackpot in advance is separated from the range of values assigned to the jackpot. By doing so, it is possible to immediately determine whether one of the big hit, the small hit or the loss is made only by determining in which range the value is included. Even in such a case, it is first determined by referring to whether or not the big hit is in the allocated range, and if it is out of the range, it is determined by referring to whether or not it is the small hit range. It is determined by the process flow of determining. Therefore, such a case also corresponds to true / false determination processing.

If neither big hit nor small hit is found, main controller 80 executes a process of determining a lost symbol in S390, and proceeds to S380.
In the present embodiment, both the first special figure and the second special figure have a configuration in which lotteries are drawn with the same small win winning probability.
However, on the other hand, only one of the first special figure and the second special figure may be provided with a small hit. For example, if only the first special figure is provided with a small hit, even a variable lottery with the relatively disadvantageous first special figure can be provided with a positive factor that it is substantially advantageous if the small hit is drawn. If only the second special figure is provided, the importance of the fluctuation in the second special figure can be further increased.

  It is also conceivable to make the small win winning probability different between the first special figure and the second special figure. For example, if the first special figure is made higher, it is possible to add a positive element to the fluctuation of the first special figure as described above, while leaving the possibility that the second special figure will win a small hit. Further, if the second special figure is made higher, the importance of the fluctuation in the second special figure can be increased as described above while the possibility of a small hitting remains in the first special figure.

  Further, a configuration in which the small win winning probability per small hit varies depending on the gaming state. In this way, it is not necessary to change the fluctuation table in the normal gaming state, so the probability of winning small hits is set low, and the probability is high only in the high probability state or the short time state, and the game state in which the big hit can be expected By making it easier for small hits to occur, the small hits can be enjoyed.

In S365, main controller 80 executes a determination process as to whether or not the determination is made with reference to S315 described above, that is, the probability variation table (S365). That is, whether or not the determination of success / failure is executed during the probability change (during the so-called ST period after the end of the big hit game, see FIG. 11), in other words, the time-saving function executed in conjunction with the probability change function in this embodiment. It is determined whether or not it was executed during the operation of the (normal electric accessory opening extension function). If the result of the determination is affirmative (S365: yes), the process proceeds to S370. If the determination is negative (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375.
That is, in S365 of the present embodiment, whether or not the small hit has occurred during the operation of the time-shortening function (opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory) executed in conjunction with the probability changing function during the above-described ST period. Deciding. Incidentally, the ST period is limited to a predetermined period (a period until the predetermined number of fluctuations is exhausted) executed after the big hit game, and a high probability that the lottery probability of the winning lottery is higher than the normal low probability. This is the period during which the function of changing the number of times is changed (probability change).

In S370, main controller 80 sets 1 in the second variation table addition flag (S370), and proceeds to S375.
When the second variation table addition flag is set to 1, the setting value of the second variation table addition flag is subjected to determination processing at the end of the small hit game executed after the small hit variation. Flag. If 1 is set to the 2nd fluctuation table provision flag by this determination process, in the small hit game process of a present Example, it will be set so that 1 may be set to the 2nd fluctuation table flag. In other words, the second variation table grant flag is a flag that suggests that the variation table to be referred to is changed from the first variation table to the second variation table due to the variation after the small hit game (not the variation). It is.
Further, the second variation table flag that is set to 1 at the end of the small hit game is set to 1 so that the second variation table flag is changed from the first variation table to the second variation table that is referred to when determining a variation pattern to be described later. It is a flag that suggests that a change to the fluctuation table is decided.

  In this embodiment, when a small hit occurs during the operation of the opening extension function after the end of the big hit game, that is, in the normal power release extension period of the present invention, 1 is set in the second variation table grant flag, As a result of the small hit variation, a small hit game is executed, and 1 is set in the second variation table flag based on the fact that 1 is set in the second variation table grant flag at the end of the small hit game. Based on the fact that 1 is set in the second variation table flag in the variation after the small hit game, the first variation table referenced at the small hit determination is referred to the second variation table. Change the fluctuation table.

  That is, S360, S365, S370, S601, S610, and the second variation table grant flag determination process and the second variation table flag setting process during the small hit game process are not performed in the extension period of the open-circuit period corresponding to the ST period. When the result of the determination is a small hit, it corresponds to the fluctuation table setting means of the present invention that changes the fluctuation table referred to at the time of determining whether or not the hit is determined after the small hit game.

  Furthermore, the variation table setting of the present invention configured by S360, S365, S370, S601, S610 of the present embodiment, the second variation table addition flag determination processing during the small hit game processing, and the second variation table flag setting processing. The means changes to the second variation table after the small hit game is completed when the first variation table is referred to when determining whether or not the small hit is determined.

In S375, main controller 80 executes processing for determining a small hit symbol, and proceeds to S380.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, “Special Figure 1 Symbol 8” in the first special figure and “Special Figure 2 Symbol 5” in the second special figure are each one type of small hit symbol. Is provided. Therefore, the small hit symbol is determined depending on whether the current determination is due to the ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A or the ball entering the second special figure starting port 22B.
By the way, in the small hit game, which will be described later, which is executed when these small hit symbols are confirmed and displayed, the open / close door of the big winning opening 25 is configured to execute the opening for 0.8 seconds twice. Yes.

After determining the small hit symbol in S375 described above or the lost symbol in S390, main controller 80 executes a small hit / loss variation pattern determining process in S380 (S380), and proceeds to S385.
The small hit / losing fluctuation pattern determining process in S380 is a main part of the present invention, and is a process for determining a fluctuation pattern in the case of the small hit or lost.
More specifically, S380 changes the variation table to be referred to when determining the variation pattern during the probability variation (during the extension extension period of the ordinary electric accessory) based on the value of the second variation table flag (for example, the first variation table). This is a process for determining whether or not to change from the first variation table to the second variation table.

First, before describing the small hit / loss variation pattern determination process in detail, the variation pattern determined by the process will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, description of the small hit is omitted, but in the case of a loss, the small hit is included. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
As shown in FIG. 12, the small hit / losing fluctuation pattern is reached when the game state at the time of the lottery is “normal probability and no time (no electric support)” as shown in FIG. When a small hit / losing with a loss occurs, one pattern is determined from six types of small hit / losing variation patterns. In the case of small hit / losing without reach, a small hit / miss variation pattern is set in accordance with the number of reserved memories.

  In the present embodiment, the various small hit / loss variation patterns are configured as a collection of variation patterns classified based on certain conditions. That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 17 (a), in a low-probability and short-timeless gaming state (normal game), 51 types including reach as a variation pattern at the time of losing (including a small hitting time) This pattern is provided. Each of the 51 types of patterns is configured to be categorized as any one of various small hit / loss variation patterns as a collection of the variation patterns.

The small hit / losing fluctuation pattern of the game state at the time of the lottery having “high probability and short time (with electric support)” is different in the setting process between the first special figure and the second special figure. In the first special figure, a small hit / loss variation pattern is set in the same manner as in the state where the gaming state is “normal probability and no time”.
On the other hand, in the second special figure, as shown in FIG. 13, when the game state at the time of winning / failing lottery is lost in a state of “high probability and shortage (with electric support)”, the fluctuation table is the first fluctuation table. Depending on which one of (Table 1) and the second variation table (Table 2) is set, if it is the first variation table, a reach or non-reach loss variation pattern is determined from the first variation table.

  Furthermore, as an important function of the present invention, when the game state at the time of the winning or failing lottery is a small hit in the state of “high probability and short time (with electric support)”, the fluctuation that was referenced when the small hit was made If the table is the first fluctuation table (table 1), the fluctuation table to be referred to is changed to the second fluctuation table in the fluctuation after the small hit game, and the reach from the changed second fluctuation table (table 2) is reached. Alternatively, a non-reach small hit variation pattern is determined. That is, if a small hit can be generated before reaching the predetermined number of fluctuations during the ST period when the first fluctuation table (table 1) is changed to the second fluctuation table, the scheduled time can be set. It is a function that can quickly shift to an advantageous state without waiting, and can significantly increase the player's willingness to play.

  In this embodiment, no matter which variation pattern is selected in the first variation table, as described above with reference to FIG. 17B, there is one small hit / loss variation pattern (variation time 0). .6 seconds).

  In the case of the second variation table, in the case of reach, one pattern is determined from six types of loss variation patterns from the second variation table. On the other hand, in the case of non-reach, different loss variation patterns are determined depending on whether the number of reserved storage is zero or one or more. Also in this case, in the present embodiment, the various small hit / loss variation patterns are configured as a collection of variation patterns classified based on certain conditions. That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 17 (c), in the gaming state with high probability and short time, 50 types of patterns including reach are provided as variation patterns at the time of loss (including the time of small hits). Is. Each of the 50 types of patterns is configured to be categorized into any one of various small hit / loss variation patterns as a collection of the variation patterns.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the small hit / loss variation pattern determination process as the main part of the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 15 shows a subroutine for performing processing for determining a small hit variation pattern or a loss variation pattern. In this process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the winning / failing determination is executed in the probability changing table, that is, whether or not the gaming state at the time of the winning / losing lottery is likely to change (ST period) (S600). In the present embodiment, the fact that it is a certain change means that it is during the ST period, and by extension, suggests that it is during the extension period of the utility power.

If it is a probability variation table (S600: yes), it is confirmed whether the second variation table flag is “1” (S601).
That is, as described above, it is confirmed whether or not a change opportunity from the first variation table to the second variation table has been established. In the present embodiment, the second variation table flag is “1” in the following two cases.
One is a time when the number of changes in the special symbol reaches a predetermined number (see the first variation table column in FIG. 11) as a period for referring to the first variation table after the big hit game. In other words, after the big hit game won in the first special figure, the number of fluctuations is any of 20, 30, 40, and 50. After the big hit game won in the second special figure, , 0 times, 10 times, and 20 times.
Another timing is that a small hit occurs during the opening extension period of the ordinary electric utility after the jackpot game, which is a feature of the present invention (during the ST period in this embodiment), and while referring to the first variation table. At the end of the hit game. With this function, if a small hit game occurs before the number of fluctuations of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number, the change from the first fluctuation table to the second fluctuation table is performed ahead of schedule. Therefore, the player can acquire an advantageous state at an early stage.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, there are two cases in which “1” is set in the second variation table flag. However, the effect of the present invention can be achieved even if the former, that is, the configuration that is set when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number is not provided. In other words, the embodiment may be provided with only a configuration that is set at the end of the small hit game when a small hit occurs during the extended extension period of the ordinary electric accessory after the big hit game. In other words, the configuration may be such that the variation table to be referred to is not changed unless a small hit occurs. In this case, there will be no gain or interest in acquiring an advantageous state earlier than the scheduled timing, but with the occurrence of a small hit, one extension of the utility power extension period is in an advantageous or unfavorable state It is possible to create a game structure that is divided into pieces and does not get tired. In addition, it is possible to play a novel role that does not exist in the past in small hits.

If the second fluctuation table flag is not “1” (S601: no), that is, if the above-mentioned predetermined fluctuation count has not been reached or a small hit has not occurred, the first fluctuation table in the case of the second special figure. (See FIG. 17B) is set, and in the case of the first special figure, a first special figure variation table (see FIG. 18A) is set (S602). The process of setting a table in S602 is a process of selecting the table for reference.
Even when it is determined that the change is a small hit, that is, when an affirmative determination is made in S360 described above, a negative determination is made in S601 because 1 is not yet set in the second fluctuation table flag. In the next fluctuation after the small hit game is finished, S601 is determined to be affirmative.

  Next, the count value of the fluctuation table counter set in the process of S405 of “big hit setting process 1” (FIG. 14) is referred to (S603), and the count value is subtracted (S604). The count value corresponds to a predetermined number of fluctuations of the special symbol. Therefore, it is configured to be decremented by one for each change of the first special figure or the second special figure.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the subtracted count value is “0” (S605). If the count value is “0” (S605: yes), the predetermined number of times that the number of times the first or second special figure fluctuates (number of times of the lottery) is set based on the jackpot symbol since the end of the previous jackpot game. In order to change the fluctuation table from the first fluctuation table to the second fluctuation table from the next fluctuation of the second special symbol, “2” is set in the second fluctuation table flag in the process of S606. To do.

  If the count value is not “0” after the process of S606 or the process of S605 (S605: no), whether or not the reach is performed based on the reach determination random number for the pending storage that is the target of the determination in S607 In the case of the reach, the change pattern is selected (determined) from the first change table in the case of the second special figure (S608, S609). In the case of the first special figure, the fluctuation pattern is selected and determined from the first special figure fluctuation table (see FIG. 18A). When various variation patterns are selected and determined, this process is terminated.

If the second variation table flag is “1” in the process of S601 (S601: yes), the second variation table is set (S610). Again, the process of setting “1” in the second variation table flag is the second variation table in which “1” is set in S606 or S370 when the number of variations reaches the predetermined number after the big hit game. This is a second variation table flag setting process of the small hit game process that is set based on the grant flag.
Although not shown, in the case of the first special figure, the first special figure variation table (see FIG. 18A) is selected, and the following variation pattern is selected and determined with reference to this.
Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the reach is performed (S611). When the reach is performed (S611: yes), in the case of the second special figure, the variation pattern for reach from the second variation table (FIG. 17C). One pattern is selected (determined) from the fluctuation patterns 3 to 50) (S612).

If the reach is not reach (S611: no), it is confirmed whether the number of the reserved memory of the second special figure is “0” (S613), and if the reserved memory is “0” (S613: yes), the second A variation pattern for normal variation 1 (variation pattern 1 in FIG. 17C) is selected (determined) from the variation table (S614).
If the number of reserved storage is not “0” but one or more (S613: no), the variation pattern for normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 17C) is selected (determined) (S615). When various variation patterns are selected and determined, this process is terminated.

When it is confirmed in the process of S600 that the gaming state is not a probability change but a normal probability state (S600: no), the process proceeds to the process of S620 shown in FIG. When the gaming state is not a certain change, the change pattern is determined from the change table of FIG. 17 (a) or FIG. 18 (b) instead of the first or second change table or the first special figure change table. .
In the process of S620, the time flag is checked to confirm whether or not the gaming state is a time-saving game. If the time flag is “1” and the time is short (S620: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the reach is performed (S621). When the reach is performed (S621: yes), the time is shortened with the low probability of FIG. One pattern is selected (determined) from the variation pattern for reach (variation patterns 3 to 30) from the useful variation table (S622).

If the reach is not reach (S621: no), in the case of the second special figure, it is confirmed whether the number of the storage in the second special figure is “0” (S623). (S623: yes), the fluctuation pattern for the normal fluctuation 1 (the fluctuation pattern 1 in FIG. 18B) is selected (determined) (S624).
If the number of reserved storages is not “0” but one or more (S623: no), the variation pattern for normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 18B) is selected (determined) (S625). When various variation patterns are selected and determined, this process is terminated.

  If the time is not short in the process of S620 (S620: no), it is confirmed whether or not reach is to be performed (S626). If reach is to be performed (S626: yes), the low-probability fluctuation with low probability in FIG. One pattern is selected (determined) from the variation pattern for reach (variation patterns 4 to 51) from the table (S627).

If the reach is not reach (S626: no), in the case of the second special figure, it is confirmed whether the number of the storage in the second special figure is “0” (S628). (S628: yes), the fluctuation pattern for the normal fluctuation 1 (the fluctuation pattern 1 in FIG. 17A) is selected (determined) (S629).
If the reserved memory is not “0” (S628: no), when the reserved memory is 1 or 2, the fluctuation pattern for the normal fluctuation 2 (the fluctuation pattern 2 in FIG. 17A) is three, and the reserved memory is three. In this case, the variation pattern for the normal variation 2 (variation pattern 2 in FIG. 17A) is selected (determined) (S630). When various variation patterns are selected and determined, this process is terminated.

When determining whether or not the first special figure is correct, as described above, the variation table of FIG. 17 (a), depending on the gaming state with low probability and short time, high probability with short time and low probability with short time, A variation pattern is selected (determined) from the variation table of FIGS.
As described above, when the small hit / loss variation pattern determination process (S380) module of this embodiment is completed, the process returns to FIG. 8 and the process proceeds to S385.

In S385, main controller 80 executes a small hit / losing setting process (S385), and proceeds to S323.
In other words, when the change results in a small hit, various settings necessary for executing the small hit variation and later executing the small hit game are performed. In case of loss, various settings necessary for executing the change in loss are performed. Further, in the present embodiment, in this process, referring to the count value of the probability variation counter and the count value of the time reduction counter, 1 is subtracted (decremented), and the process of setting the subtracted value as each count value is performed. The count value is a numerical value that is a target for determining whether or not it is 0 in later processing (S351 or S354). Also in this process, similarly to S351 or S354, a process for determining whether or not it is 0 is executed. When it is determined that it is 0, a process for temporarily setting the probability variation flag or the time reduction flag to 0 is performed. This processing is temporary setting processing, and the temporarily set flag is not a determination target in the subsequent S350 or S353. Therefore, in S350 or S353, this determination process is executed again.

  After the big hit setting process of S320 or the small hit / losing setting process of S385, in the process of S323, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B is performed, and the effect symbol control device 82 is performed. Then, a symbol change start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to "special game processing". The variation start command includes a lottery result such as a variation pattern of a special figure and a prize winning opening game lottery.

  When the first special figure or the second special figure is changing in the process of S301 of FIG. 7 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, when it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has passed (S330: yes) ), In the fixed symbol display process (S331), the end of the variation of the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B, and the decorative symbol variation display to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 A command is transmitted so as to end the game, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  As described above, the main control device 80 changes the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B as the symbol display device based on the result of the determination in S315 and S316 described above. The symbol variation start control is performed in S323 so as to start, and after the variation display, the process of displaying the confirmed symbol is performed in S331, thereby informing the result of the determination of the validity. That is, the processes of S323 and S331 are the variable display means of the present invention that notifies the result of the determination of success / failure by the first special figure display device 16A and the second special figure display device 16B as the symbol display device.

If the confirmed symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has ended (S340). ). If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the first special symbol or the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B or the first special symbol display device 16B by the fixed symbol display end setting process (S341). The final symbol display of the second special figure is terminated, and a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integrated control device 83 so as to terminate the final symbol decoration display corresponding to the first special figure or the second special figure. .

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is a big hit combination (S342). If it is a big hit combination (S342: yes), if the probability variation flag is 1, S343: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S344).
Although not shown, in this embodiment, in S344, in addition to setting the probability variation flag to 0, a process of setting 0 to a second variation table flag described later is also executed. That is, in this embodiment, when a big hit occurs during the probability change, even if 1 is set in the second fluctuation table flag, a process of returning this to 0 is executed. This process is the same as S395 described later.
Next, if the time reduction flag is 1 (S345: yes), 0 is set in the time reduction flag (S346).

In the process of S347, the operation of the condition device is started, and in the process of S348, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Then, a command is sent to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process (S349), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is confirmed whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S350), the probability variation flag is 1 (S350: yes), and the probability variation counter is 0 (S351). : Yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S352).

  In this embodiment, based on the end of the probability change state (ST) after the big hit game at this time, that is, based on the end of the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory that functions in conjunction with the probability change, Set the 2-variable table flag to 0. Therefore, it is set to 1 when the predetermined number of fluctuations is reached during the ST period (see S606) or when a small hit occurs (see S370) and the small hit game based on this has ended. The second variation table flag is set to 0 by this processing.

In the subsequent process, if the hour / hour flag is 1 (S353: yes) and the hour / hour counter is 0 (S353: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to 0 (S355).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”. The “special game process” is a process for executing a jackpot game, and is a jackpot game control means of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 19, in the “special game process”, first, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500). Check if is open. If the accessory continuous operation device is not operating in S500 (S500: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening is not open in the process of S501 (S501: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S502), if not during the interval (S502: no), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S503), If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S503: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S504). If the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S504: yes), the winning prize opening process of S505 is performed. Then open the grand prize opening 25 and return.

  If the big prize opening is being opened in the process of S501 (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, confirmation is made as to whether or not nine prizes that are the prescribed number of prizes have been received in the big prize opening 25 (S510), or It is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 25 has ended (S511), and if any positive determination is made, the big winning opening 25 is closed (S512), and a big hit interval process is executed (S513), Return. In the big hit interval process, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to start the big hit interval effect.

If it is during the interval in the process of S502 of FIG. 19 (S502: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has elapsed in the process of S514 of FIG. 20, and if it has elapsed (S514: yes), whether it is the final round. Confirmation (S515), if it is the final round (S515: yes), the big hit end effect processing (S516) is executed, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 by this processing. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S515: no), the process of releasing the special winning opening 25 (S517) is executed and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S503 in FIG. 19 (S503: yes), as shown in FIG. 21, it is confirmed whether the end time of the jackpot end effect time has passed (S520). S520: yes), a process (S521) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S522) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

Subsequently, in the process of S523, referring to the provisional setting contents (probability change grant flag, time reduction assignment flag, fluctuation table, fluctuation table counter, probability change counter, time reduction counter, etc.) set in “big hit setting process 1” in FIG. A setting process (S524) of the number of times of probability variation (probability variation counter) and a setting process (S525) of the number of time reductions (time reduction counter) are performed. Next, a variation table setting process and a variation table counter setting process are performed (S526). In this case, since the gaming state after the big hit game is probable and time-saving, a table with a high probability of time-saving (FIG. 18 (a)) is set as the variation table for the first special figure, and the second special figure is obtained. The first variation table (FIG. 17B) is set as the variation table for use.
Thus, in this embodiment, the variation table for the second special figure that is initially set after the big hit game is the first variation table. Therefore, the player pays attention to the timing at which the player changes to the second variation table in the ST period starting from the first variation table.

  Further, with reference to the probability change grant flag and the time reduction grant flag, in order to make the gaming state after the big hit game endure and change time shorter, the probability change flag is set to 1 (S527), and the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S528). ).

As described above, in S528, the time-shortening flag is set to 1 in order to enter the time-shortening state (the state in which the function of opening and extending the ordinary electric accessory is activated) after the big hit game ends. The main control device 80 controls the operation of the universal utility solenoid so that the opening time is longer than that in the normal gaming state by setting the time reduction flag to 1. That is, when the time reduction flag is 1, control is performed so that the opening time is extended compared to when it is 0. Then, main controller 80 subtracts the time reduction counter set in S407 for each change in S385, and when the counter value becomes 0 in S354, changes the time reduction flag from 1 to 0 in S355. This completes the time-saving state.
That is, S354, S355, S385, S407, and S528 executed by the main control device 80 extend the opening time for the ordinary electric accessory to be released after the big hit game is over, as compared with the normal gaming state. It constitutes a means.

  Then, when the normal electric accessory is opened and extended by the normal electric opening extension means, the possibility of entering the second special figure starting port 22B is dramatically improved as compared with the non-execution time. On the other hand, since there is no change in the possibility of entering the first special figure starting port 22A, the second special figure for all the incoming balls into the first special figure starting port 22A and the second special figure starting port 22B. The ratio of the ball entering the start port 22B is configured to be extremely high. Further, in the present embodiment, the second big hit resulting from the ball entering the second special figure start port 22B is more advantageous than the first big hit resulting from the ball entering the first special figure start port 22A. Furthermore, it is configured to preferentially execute the variation display resulting from the entry into the second special figure starting port 22B over the variation display resulting from the entry into the first special drawing start port 22A. . Thus, it can be said that the short time state in which the ratio of the ball entering the second special figure starting port 22B is high is an advantageous state for the player.

  Thereafter, a jackpot game end command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub-integrated control device 83 (S529), and information on whether or not the high-probability gaming state is in the open extension is transmitted as a state designation command. (S530), and then returns.

Next, although not shown in the figure, when the winning determination process is won in the present embodiment, after the negative determination is made in S342, the same processes as S350 to S356 including S395 described above are performed. It is configured to execute a small hit game process. The small hit game process is executed after the special game process. The small hit game process is a process for executing a small hit game, and is the small hit game control means of the present invention. As described above, in the small hit game of the present embodiment, the operation of opening the open / close door of the special winning opening 25 for 0.8 seconds is executed twice (see FIG. 11).
Then, as already described, at the end of the small hit game process, it is determined whether or not 1 is set in the second variation table addition flag. If 1 is set, the second variation table flag is set. A process of setting 1 is executed.

As described above, after the big hit game is over, the gaming state becomes probabilistic and time-saving, and the first variation table is set as a variation table for selecting the variation pattern of the second special figure. When the game progresses and the number of successful lotteries (number of fluctuations) of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches the set value of the fluctuation table counter, the fluctuation table for the second special figure is changed to the second fluctuation table. Is done. When the game further progresses and the number of winning / failing lotteries reaches the set value of the probability variation counter, the variation table is changed from the second variation table to the low probability variation table.
As a function of the present invention, when the game progresses and the winning lottery number (the number of fluctuations) of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches the set value of the fluctuation table counter, In the variation after the game ends, the variation table for the second special figure is changed to the second variation table.

  The first fluctuation table has a short fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation pattern that it has, for example, the average number of balls that are entered with one opening of the electric utility of the second special figure starting port 22B is more than the above-mentioned normal number. The fluctuation time is such that the number of fluctuations of the second special figure increases at the opening interval from the opening of the electric character to the next opening. Therefore, as shown in “a typical variation example of the first variation table period” in FIG. 22, the variation of the second special figure is executed with priority, and the variation time of the second special diagram is short. Even if the reserved memory in the figure is full (four), the reserved memory of the second special figure is consumed on average until the next general public utility release, and the fluctuation of the first special figure is started.

  On the other hand, when the change table is changed to the second change table, the loss change pattern of the change table has a longer change time than the first change table. The fluctuation time is such that the number of fluctuations of the second special figure in the opening interval from the opening of the general electric utility to the next opening is smaller than the average number of balls entering. Accordingly, as shown in “a typical variation example of the second variation table period” shown in FIG. 22, the variation of the second special chart is preferentially executed and the variation time is long. The variation of the second special figure continues until the bonus is released. Therefore, the next time the electric utility object opens and enters the ball, the reserve memory of the second special figure increases, and the possibility that the fluctuation of the first special figure starts will be reduced. Will continue.

  In this way, the ratio of the change opportunity of the first special figure and the change opportunity of the second special figure can be changed between the first change table and the second change table. In other words, during the unit release period from the start of the opening of the ordinary electric accessory to the start of the next release, the first fluctuation table is stored in the first reserved memory rather than the second fluctuation table. The execution ratio of the validity determination based on this is increased. According to this, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is substantially a normal gaming state with a low probability and no short time, a gaming state with a low probability and a short time, a gaming state with a high probability and a short time, and further these games. In addition to the state, in the gaming state with a high probability and a short time, it becomes a gaming state with many fluctuation opportunities of the first special figure and a gaming state with a lot of fluctuation chances in the second special figure, which is advantageous also in a gaming state with a high probability and short time The state which is not and the state which is not so can be provided. In this case, since the game content at the time of the big hit is more advantageous in the case of the variation of the second special figure, the probability of winning in the second special figure is improved in the game state having a lot of fluctuation opportunities in the second special figure. It is advantageous for the player to win a prize ball. On the other hand, it can be considered that the variation of the first special chart makes the game content at the time of big hit more advantageous. In that case, there is an interest in how to win a big hit with the first special figure at the time of the first variation table. In this way, the gaming state becomes diverse and the entertainment of the game can be enriched.

  In addition, since the first half of the gaming state period with high probability and short time is the first variation table and the second half is the second variation table, the variation opportunity of the second special figure is improved as the game progresses, 2. The player's interest is gathered in the fluctuation of the special figure, and the effect of increasing the player's expectation and tension is also exhibited.

  Furthermore, since a plurality of types of count values of the counter for switching the first and second fluctuation tables according to the special figure at the time of the big hit are provided, the first and second fluctuation tables can be switched according to the special figure. By switching to the second variation table early, the player's sense of expectation is continued, and conversely, by slowing down the switching, the player's feeling of frustration is increased.

The present invention assumes a gaming configuration as described above, and bears a function as a change table change opportunity in a small hit.
In this way, a novelty role that has not existed in the past is given to the small hit, the player is given unexpected surprises by relying on the uncertain small hit occurrence timing for the change timing of the definite variation table, It is possible to provide the player with the fun of generating a beneficial change for the player by drawing a small hit earlier than the predetermined change timing.

Referring to FIG. 22 in detail, for example, after a big hit with “Special Figure 1 Symbol 1”, 30 times as a period for referring to the extension period and the first fluctuation table corresponding to the ST period (60 times) are provided. It is set in advance (see FIG. 11). At this time, if the small hit can be generated before reaching the 30th, the second variation table period is started from the variation after the small hit game ends. The switching timing from the first variation table to the second variation table slides as shown by a broken line in the figure, and an advantageous state is generated ahead of schedule.
During the extension period of the opening of the electric train after the jackpot ends, players will begin to seek for a small hit as soon as possible. It will be possible to utilize it effectively instead of the “chase of probability”. That is, a function different from the conventional role of simply generating an effect at a small hit, that is, a function relating to the player's gain directly due to the occurrence can be provided.

  To repeat, the outline of the present embodiment will be described. First, a difference in advantage is set between the first special figure (also called special 1) and the second special figure (also called special 2). Advantages include the amount of gain that a player obtains, the degree of possibility that a player will gain, and the like. Special 2 has a larger number of rounds when it wins than Special 1. By making it difficult for the disadvantageous special 1 to be changed, it is difficult to generate a small number of round hits when the special 1 is changed. On the contrary, it is easy to generate a hit with a large number of rounds. The first fluctuation table has a risk of generating a big hit with a small number of rounds, whereas the second fluctuation table has a low risk of generating a big hit with a small number of rounds. The first variation table is less advantageous than the second variation table in terms of the possibility of a big hit with a small gain. The first variation table and the second variation table, which are the variation tables that are referred to during the operation of the open extension function, are different in the degree of advantage, and the same open extension function is in operation. Even if it exists, it is a game structure from which an advantage differs with the fluctuation | variation table referred. Since the variation table with different advantages is changed by the occurrence of the small hit, the player's gain is different from the conventional role of simply generating the effect at the small hit, that is, directly due to the occurrence. It can be responsible for functions related to.

Next, FIG. 23 to FIG. 26 show display examples of the effect display of the effect symbol display device 15 of the present embodiment.
In the state where the first variation table is set, there is a possibility that the variation of the first special figure is performed. When the first variation table is set, as shown in FIG. In addition, a decorative pattern 151 consisting of three digits is displayed in a variable manner, and an explanation display 152 of “search mode” is displayed on the upper right, and if the main character Tatsuyoshi 153 finds an enemy boss character, an effect that is a big hit is performed. Note that the reserved symbol number 154 of the first special figure is displayed in the lower left of the effect symbol display device 15, and the reserved memory number 155 of the first special figure is displayed in the lower right.

Since the variation time at the time of losing of the second special figure according to the first fluctuation table is short, even in the case of the fluctuation of the second special figure, it is immediately lost.
On the other hand, since the fluctuation time of the first special figure is long even when the first fluctuation table is set, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the fluctuation of the first special figure is reach, the decorative symbol 151 is set as reach, and Tatsuyoshi Directs as if he found a boss.
Thereafter, in the case of a big hit, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), an effect of aligning the decorative symbols 151 and causing the boss 156 to appear is performed.

By the way, at the time of setting the first variation table, the player's interest is concentrated on whether the first special figure is a big hit or the second special figure is a big hit. That is, the number of rounds of the big hit game differs depending on the special figure that is a big hit, and the second special figure can be expected to acquire a large number of prize balls. Therefore, an effect is shown that indicates the number of rounds won at the big hit, where the player is more interested than the reach effect.
For example, as the effect display of the seventh round of the big hit game, as shown in FIG. 24A, the effect that Tatsuyoshi 153 and the boss 156 fight in the “battle mode” is performed on the effect symbol display device 15.
Here, when the final round of the big hit game is 7R, as shown in FIGS. 24B and 24C, an effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed as Tatsuyoshi 153 loses to the boss 156.
On the other hand, when the last round of jackpot game is 7R or more and the jackpot game is continued, as shown in FIGS. 24D and 24E, Tatsuyoshi 153 wins the boss 156 and notifies the continuation of the jackpot game. Produce.

In the state where the second variation table is set, the variation of the second special figure is almost all, and the player's interest is concentrated on whether or not the reach will be a big hit. Therefore, the “Battle Mode” reach effect is performed with a higher appeal than the “Search Mode” reach.
As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a three-digit decorative symbol 151 is displayed in a variable manner on the upper left of the effect symbol display device 15, and an effect in which Tatsuyoshi 153 and the boss 156 fight is performed.
As shown in FIG. 25B, when the decorative symbol 151 becomes reach and the Tatsuyoshi 153 loses to the boss 156, an effect of notifying the loss is performed as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25D, when the decorative symbol 151 becomes reach and Tatsuyoshi 153 wins the boss 156, an effect of notifying the big hit is performed as shown in FIG. In this way, by directing the game points of each variation table in a battle effect, the player can intuitively win the game in each variation table (if the first variation table, the big hit game content, If it is the second variation table, it is possible to grasp whether or not it is a big hit.
In addition, although it showed with the battle production in this embodiment, it is also possible to produce with the mini game production or mission production etc. which can show a result by victory / losing or success / failure similarly.

Further, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), when the first variation table is set, both the first special diagram and the second special diagram may fluctuate. The configuration may be represented by eight set hold displays 157 without distinguishing the hold storage in the figure. According to this, by making it impossible to determine whether the hold storage is the first special chart or the second special chart, it is possible to determine whether or not the second special symbol having a high advantage at the time of the big hit is a big hit. You can hold it up and increase your gameplay.
On the other hand, when the second variation table is set, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the reserved symbol number 154 of the first special figure is shown at the lower left of the effect symbol display device 15, and the reserved memory of the second special figure is shown at the lower right. Expression 155 is displayed individually.
In FIG. 26, 158 represents the character's bear Tatsuyoshi, and 159 and 160 are comment displays indicating that the first variation table is set and the second variation table is set.

The present invention executes the effect display described below on the premise of the effect display as described above. FIG. 27 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect display mode during operation in the present invention.
The game referring to the first variation table proceeds after the big hit game ends, and the number of successful lotteries (number of variations) in the first special diagram and the second special diagram is set to the set value of the variation table counter (see the first variation table column in FIG. 11). If the player wins the small hit before reaching (), the variation table for the second special figure is changed to the second variation table in the variation after the end of the small hit game. At this time, the promotion effect is executed in a manner as shown in FIG. Compared to the first variation table, the second variation table is a variation table advantageous to the player as described above, and shifting to a period in which the second variation table is referred to is a so-called promotion. Instead of abruptly changing the variation table, after the end of the small hit gaming state with the opening of the big prize opening 25, and by executing the notification effect, to shift to the mode in which the variation table to be referred to has been changed The player can reliably recognize.

  More specifically, a decorative symbol “246” corresponding to the small hit symbol as a result of the current variation is displayed in the lower left part. Then, the smile of the character “Keiyoshi Kumayoshi” is displayed, which suggests that the player will be in a state advantageous to the player, and at the same time, “Battle mode starts!” The start of the battle mode described above, which is a mode for referring to the fluctuation table, is notified.

In this way, it is possible to distinguish at a glance whether the change of the change table to be executed is a change due to the arrival of a predetermined number of changes or a change due to the occurrence of a small hit by changing the effect display mode (character type, etc.) It is said. Note that the display shown in FIG. 27A may be performed after the end of the small hit game. Further, it may be performed before the start of the small hit game, that is, at the end of the small hit variation.
[Second Embodiment]

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Since the second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment described above, the same configuration and operation will be omitted as appropriate, and differences will be described mainly. FIG. 28 is a setting table showing the change (migration) contents of the variation table for each small hit symbol in the second embodiment.
In the first embodiment described above, an example in which one small hit symbol is provided in each of the first special figure and the second special figure has been described (see FIG. 11). And if any winning symbol ("Special Figure 1 Symbol 8", "Special Figure 2 Symbol 5") is won with the small hit symbol, it will be referred to by the change after the end of the small hit game. The variation table is changed from the first variation table to the second variation table.

In this regard, the present embodiment includes a plurality of types of small hits in each of the first special drawing and the second special drawing. That is, as shown in FIG. 28, the first special figure is “Special Figure 1”, “Special Figure 1”, “Special Figure 1”, and “Special Figure 1” as small hits. 4 types are provided. Further, the second special figure has four types of “Special figure 2 symbol 5”, “Special figure 2 symbol 6”, “Special figure 2 symbol 7”, and “Special figure 2 symbol 8” as small hits. .
Further, the change contents of the variation table are set differently depending on the type of the small hit symbol and the type of the variation table referred to when the small hit is won.

  The number of types of small hit symbols may be different between the first special figure and the second special figure. By varying the number of types, the game table can be enriched by varying the selection rate of the variation table or providing a variation table that can be selected only by one special drawing.

  Referring to FIG. 28 in detail, first, when a small hit is made with "Special Figure 1 Symbol 8" of the first special figure or "Special Figure 2 Symbol 5" or "Special Figure 2 Symbol 6" of the second special figure, If the first fluctuation table is referenced at the time of a small hit, the first fluctuation table is changed (shifted) to the second fluctuation table. The effect display mode in this case is the same as that in the first embodiment, and is the promotion effect shown in FIG. Further, when a small hit is made with the small hit symbol when referring to the second variation table, the state of referring to the second variation table is maintained (invariable).

Next, in the present embodiment, in the state where the first variation table is being referred to, the “Special Figure 1 Symbol 9” or “Special Figure 1 Symbol 10” of the first special figure or the “Special Figure 2 design” of the second special figure When a small hit is made at “7”, the state of referring to the first variation table is maintained (is unchanged). In addition, when referring to the second variation table, if a small hit is won with the small hit symbol, the second variation table is changed (shifted) to the first variation table that is disadvantageous to the player.
That is, the variation table setting means of the present embodiment is a small hit ("Special Figure 1 Symbol 9" or "Special Figure 1 Symbol 10" of the first special figure or "Special Figure 2 Symbol 7" of the second special figure). When the variation table referred to at the time of the determination as to whether or not is the second variation table, the variation table can be changed to the first variation table after the small hit game ends.
Compared to the second variation table, the first variation table is a variation table that is disadvantageous to the player as described above, and shifting to a period of referring to this is a so-called demotion. The effect display mode in this case is the demoted effect shown in FIG. The effect display mode will be described later.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, there is provided a small hit that does not trigger the change of the variation table in the state where either the first variation table or the second variation table is referenced. That is, even if a small hit is made with “Special Figure 1 Symbol 11” of the first special figure or “Special Figure 2 Symbol 8” of the second special figure, the variation table referred to at that time is maintained (invariable).
When a game is in progress with reference to the first variation table or the second variation table, a small hit (“Special Figure 1” on the first special figure 11 or “Special Figure 2” on the second special figure) is won. In the variation after the end of the small hit game, the variation table referred to when the small hit is won is maintained. At this time, the table maintenance effect is executed in a manner as shown in FIG. The effect display mode will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of small hits are provided. Then, when a small win is won with "Special Figure 1 Symbol 8" of the first special figure or "Special Figure 2 Symbol 5" or "Special Figure 2 Symbol 6" of the second special figure, the first fluctuation table is changed from the second fluctuation table. Change to In addition, when a small hit is made with “Special Figure 1 Symbol 9” or “Special Figure 1 Symbol 10” of the first special figure or “Special Figure 2 Symbol 7” of the second special figure, the second fluctuation table changes to the first fluctuation table. change. That is, the small hit by the “special figure 1 symbol 8” of the first special figure or the “special figure 2 symbol 5” or the “special figure 2 symbol 6” of the second special figure corresponds to the first special figure of the present invention, The small hit by the “special figure 1 symbol 9” or “special figure 1 symbol 10” of the first special figure or the “special figure 2 symbol 7” of the second special figure corresponds to the second special hit of the present invention.

The “Special Figure 1 Symbol 8” of the first special figure and the “Special Figure 2 Symbol 5” and “Special Figure 2 Symbol 6” of the second special figure as the first small hits are referred to when the first variation table is referred to. When it becomes the first small hit, it is promoted to a second fluctuation table that is more advantageous than the first fluctuation table, and even if it becomes the first small hit when referring to the second fluctuation table, it is not demoted to the first fluctuation table. That is, it is an advantageous small hit symbol that makes a transition or maintenance to a state advantageous to the player.
In addition, “Special Figure 1 Symbol 9” and “Special Figure 1 Symbol 10” of the first special figure and “Special Figure 2 Symbol 7” of the second special figure as the second small hits are referred to when the first variation table is referred to. When the second small hit is reached, the first fluctuation table, which is disadvantageous to the second fluctuation table, is not promoted, and when the second fluctuation table is referenced, the second fluctuation table is demoted to the first fluctuation table. That is, it is a disadvantageous small hit symbol that makes a transition or maintenance to a disadvantageous state for the player.

Further, in this embodiment, as the first small hit, one type of “Special Figure 1 Symbol 8” of the first special figure, “Special Figure 2 Symbol 5” and “Special Figure 2 Symbol 6” of the second special figure are used. There are two types. That is, the number of symbols is different between the first special figure and the second special figure, and the second special figure is provided more than the first special figure. This makes it easier to shift to and maintain a state advantageous to the player by setting a larger number of symbols in the second special figure that is likely to occur during the extension period of the normal power train.
On the other hand, as the second small hit, there are two types of "Special Figure 1 Symbol 9" and "Special Figure 1 Symbol 10" of the first special figure, and one type of "Special Figure 2 Symbol 7" of the second special figure. That is, the number of symbols is different between the first special figure and the second special figure, and the number of the second special figure is less than that of the first special figure. As a result, it is difficult to shift to and maintain a disadvantageous state for the player by setting the number of the second special figure that is likely to occur during the extension period of the public power transmission to be smaller than that of the first special figure. ing.
By configuring the first small hit and the second small hit in this way, it is easy to generate a state advantageous to the player.
The configuration of the first small hit and the second small hit may be opposite to that described above, so that it is possible to easily generate a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player. By doing so, it is difficult to obtain an advantageous state, an impression that it is easily lost can be given, and a rarity value can be increased.

Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the promotion effect, the demotion effect, and the table maintenance effect of the above-described embodiment will be described.
First, FIG. 27A is an example of the effect display mode of the promotion effect described above. Since this mode is the same as the display mode of the first embodiment, the description is omitted.

  Next, FIG. 27B is an example of the effect display mode of the demoting effect described above. More specifically, a decorative symbol “642” corresponding to the small hit symbol as a result of the current variation is displayed in the lower left part. Then, the crying face of the character “Keiyoshi Kumayoshi” is displayed, suggesting that it shifts to an unfavorable state for the player, and at the same time, the first change is made by displaying “Demotion! A transition to the above-mentioned eve festival mode, which is a mode for referring to the table, is notified.

Furthermore, FIG.27 (c) is the example of an effect display mode of the table maintenance effect mentioned above. More specifically, first, a decorative symbol “442” corresponding to the small hit symbol as a result of the current variation is displayed in the lower left part. Then, the character's face that is neither a crying face nor a smiling face is displayed, suggesting that there is no change in the profits for the player, and it is also referred to by displaying "Maintenance!" The change table being changed is notified that the change is not executed.
Note that the effect display mode is not limited to “Special Figure 1 Symbol 11” of the first special figure and “Special Figure 2 Symbol 8” of the second special figure. As described above, when the variation table to be referred to is maintained. It is executed in common.

Next, the general control of this embodiment will be described.
In the first embodiment, the process of setting the second variation table grant flag is performed in S370. If the second variation table grant flag is set to 1 at the end of the small hit game, the second change table flag is set to 1. Based on the change after the small hit game, the determination process of the second fluctuation table flag is executed in S601 of the small hit / losing fluctuation pattern determination process, and the first fluctuation table is maintained based on the determination result or the second fluctuation is determined. I decided to change the table.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the first variation table addition flag, the second variation table, based on which small winning symbol is used for winning the small hit, and which variation table is currently referenced. A process of setting 1 to the grant flag or the variation table maintenance grant flag is executed at the time of the determination. If the first variation table grant flag is set to 1 at the end of the small hit game, the first variation table flag is set to 1. If the second variation table grant flag is set to 1, the second variation table grant flag is set to 1. If 1 is set in the flag and 1 is set in the variation table maintenance grant flag, processing for maintaining the variation table flag that is currently set to 1 is executed. Then, in the small hit / losing variation pattern determination process, if the determination is affirmative in S600, the settings of the first variation table flag and the second variation table flag are determined, and the variation table to be referred to based on the determination result. Is configured to determine.
By configuring in this way, it is possible to control whether to change or maintain a different variation table based on the type of the small hit symbol at the time of winning the small hit and the type of the variation table referred to at that time. Can be done.

As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a possibility that when changing to the second variation table according to the type of the small hit symbol and promoting, when changing to the first variation table and demoting, and further maintaining the current variation table. It has become. Therefore, a big difference is made in the flow of the game depending on what timing (when referring to which variation table) which small hit symbol is allocated.
For example, when referring to the first variation table, if you win a small hit with "Special Figure 1 Symbol 8" of the first special figure, you will be promoted, but you will get a small hit with "Special Figure 1 Symbol 9" or "Special Figure 1 Symbol 11" Even if you win, you will not be promoted while maintaining the current status. On the other hand, while referring to the second fluctuation table which is more advantageous than the first fluctuation table, it is possible to maintain an advantageous state by winning a small hit with “Special Figure 1 Symbol 8” or “Special Figure 1 Symbol 11”. If "Special Figure 1 Symbol 9" is assigned, the first fluctuation table will fall more disadvantageous than the second fluctuation table.
In other words, even if winning with the same small winning symbol, the result differs depending on the type of the variation table referenced at that time. Even if the same variation table is referenced, the result differs depending on the type of the small hit symbol to be allocated.

  Therefore, depending on the type of small hits and the timing of occurrence, the game changes rich in various variations such as transition to an advantageous state, transition to an unfavorable state, maintaining an advantageous state, maintaining an unfavorable state, etc. It can be generated and the interest can be improved. In addition, unlike the conventional function of “latency probability change”, the above-described function as a trigger of game change can be assigned to a small hit. In addition, it is possible to provide the player with an interest in which small winning symbol is assigned at what timing.

As mentioned above, although the suitable Example at the time of applying this invention has been demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it can implement variously.
For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, only one type of extended opening time of the ordinary electric utility constituting the second special figure starting opening 22B has been described in the normal electric power open extension period. However, it is not necessary to limit to the one type. That is, a different opening time may be provided for each variation table to be referred to.
More specifically, the main control device 80 controls the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory by performing drive control of the ordinary electric agent solenoid by means of the extension opening means. The ordinary electric open extension means includes a first open time and a second open time. The first opening time is set as an opening time shorter than the second opening time.
When the main control device 80 wins the normal symbol lottery executed due to the passing of the game ball through the start gate 21, the first control table is selected and set by the change table setting means. The first open time is selected to perform a normal power release operation. Further, when the second variation table is selected and set by the variation table setting means, the second opening time is selected and the normal power release operation is executed.

The effects produced by such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
As already explained, during the first fluctuation table period in which the first fluctuation table is selected, the fluctuation of the first special figure, which is disadvantageous compared to the second special figure, is quickly consumed because the fluctuation of the advantageous second special figure is quickly consumed. It is a period that is likely to occur. In this period, the winning rate during the first opening time decreases by setting the first opening time shorter than the second opening time as the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory. Therefore, the average number of reserved memories in the second special figure also decreases. That is, the digestion of all the second special figures in the first fluctuation table period is completed at an earlier stage, and the possibility of fluctuations in the first special figure becomes high. In other words, the period for referring to the first variation table can be a period that is disadvantageous for the player.
On the other hand, in the second fluctuation table period in which the second fluctuation table is selected, the advantageous second special chart is less slowly digested than the first fluctuation table period, which is disadvantageous than the second special chart. This is a period during which fluctuation of one special figure is difficult to occur. In this period, the winning rate during the second opening time increases by setting the second opening time longer than the first opening time as the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory. Therefore, the average number of reserved memories in the second special figure also increases. In other words, the completion of digestion of all the second special figures in the second fluctuation table period tends to be further delayed, and the possibility of fluctuation of the first special figure is further reduced. That is, the period in which the second variation table is referred to can be a period more advantageous for the player.
In this way, the difference in the advantage between the periods referring to the first variation table and the second variation table can be further widened, and the player's interest in the occurrence of a small hit can be further increased.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the storage of the first special figure and the second special figure can be reserved and stored with the upper limit number being four is illustrated. However, the number is not limited to this and may be other numbers. That is, it is good also considering the upper limit number more than four each. Only the reserved memory of the second special figure may be an upper limit number greater than four. Thereby, it is difficult to complete the fluctuation digestion based on the reserved storage of the second special figure, and it is possible to make it difficult to generate the disadvantageous fluctuation of the first special figure.
Conversely, the upper limit number may be less than four. Only the reserved memory of the second special figure may be the upper limit number less than four. As a result, it is easy to complete the variation digestion based on the reserved storage of the second special figure, and it is possible to easily cause a disadvantageous fluctuation of the first special figure.
By doing in this way, game nature becomes rich and contributes to the improvement of interest.

  Further, in S365 of the success / failure determination process in the above-described embodiment, the determination is made based on whether or not the probability variation table is referenced. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of variations after the big hit game is a predetermined number of variations. It may be determined based on whether or not. The predetermined number of fluctuations may be set as the number of fluctuations corresponding to a predetermined opening extension function operating period of the ordinary electric accessory. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether or not the second variation table addition flag can be set regardless of the probability variation function.

  Moreover, in the Example mentioned above, the example provided with the ST function corresponding to the extension period of a public power transmission was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the ST function may not be provided, and a configuration having only the extension period for opening the public power after the big hit game may be used. Even if it does in this way, there exists an effect of the present invention.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, after the big hit game, it is limited to the configuration set in the first variation table first, but it is not limited to this. For example, the second variation table reference period may be selected after the big hit game. And it is good also as the game nature which shifts from the said advantageous 2nd fluctuation | variation table reference period to the disadvantageous 1st fluctuation | variation table reference period, ie, falls, by occurrence of a small hit.
By configuring in this way, the state after the big hit game starts from a state advantageous to the player and maintains an advantageous state during the ST period unless a small hit is allocated, thereby gaining the player a gain. It is possible to provide fun games to protect.

In addition, after the big hit game ends, the first variation table or the second variation table may be determined by lottery without fixing the variation table to be referred to.
Thereby, rut can be eliminated. In addition, it is unclear which fluctuation table will be used for the extension period of the open-call period until the lottery game ends and the lottery result is obtained, so the player can play while expecting the lottery result during the jackpot game It becomes.

In addition, the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game have different advantages by changing the number of rounds in the jackpot game state, but not limited to this, the second jackpot game, A big hit that is more advantageous for obtaining a prize ball than the first big hit game is acceptable. That is, the number of winning balls at the big winning opening 25 may be controlled to be set so that the number of winning balls at the time of executing the second big hit game is larger than that at the time of executing the first big hit game.
As a result, even if the number of rounds of the first and second big hit games is set to be the same, it is possible to position both of them as advantageous and disadvantageous with respect to winning a prize ball. In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, the number of rounds is set to be large and the number of prize balls is further varied to further widen the difference between advantages and disadvantages related to winning the first and second big hit games. I can do it. Therefore, since a large difference is generated in the gain, the player can be more interested in the progress of the game.

  In addition, as a means of giving a difference in advantage between the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game, after the big hit game, with regard to the high possibility of transition to the advantageous game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state, A method of making a difference is also conceivable. That is, the second big hit may be more easily shifted to the advantageous gaming state after the big hit gaming state than the first big hit. The advantageous gaming state is preferably, for example, a time-saving gaming state or a probability variation gaming state. Thereby, the interest of the game can be maintained for a longer time by providing a difference with respect to the gain that can be acquired after a certain period of playing with expectation rather than the gain that can be acquired immediately after.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the change from the first variation table to the second variation table is limited to the open period of the normal power transmission corresponding to the ST period is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, if the extension period of the normal power train continues even after the ST period ends, the change table may be changed. Even if it does in this way, there exists an effect of the present invention.

In the first embodiment, there are two types of variation tables, the first and second variation tables. After the big hit game, the first variation table is referred to first, which is advantageous due to the occurrence of the small hit. The structure which transfers to a 2nd fluctuation | variation table reference period was illustrated. In short, the configuration is provided with two types of fluctuation tables with high and low advantages, but is not limited thereto.
For example, a first variation table, a second variation table having a higher advantage than the first variation table, and a third variation table having a higher advantage than the second variation table are provided. Control is performed in one fluctuation table reference period. Control of transition from the first fluctuation table reference period to the second fluctuation table reference period due to occurrence of a small hit during the extension period of the public train, and further transition from the second fluctuation table reference period to the third fluctuation table reference period due to occurrence of a small hit. It may be configured as described above.
As a result, the more hits are made during the extended period of open power, the higher the advantage will be, and the player will be strongly demanding the occurrence of small hits, so it is possible to further improve interest In addition, the small hit can be an important component that determines the outcome of the game.

Further, contrary to the above-described configuration, it is possible to make a game in which the advantage decreases as the small hit is reduced.
That is, for example, a first variation table, a second variation table having a higher advantage than the first variation table, and a third variation table having a higher advantage than the second variation table are provided. First, control is performed during the third variation table reference period. Control of transition from the third variation table reference period to the second variation table reference period due to occurrence of a small hit during the extension period of the public train, and further transition from the second variation table reference period to the first variation table reference period due to occurrence of a small hit. It may be configured as described above.
As a result, the more hits that occur during the extension period of the open-air train, the lower the advantage will be, and the player will strongly avoid the occurrence of hits. In addition, the small hit can be an important component that determines the outcome of the game.

Further, in the first embodiment, if the count value of the probability variation counter reaches a predetermined certain probability of change in S395 or if a big hit occurs during ST in S344, the probability variation flag is set to 0 and the second variation table is set. A configuration in which the flag is set to 0 is illustrated. In short, even if the second variation table reference period having a high advantage is acquired, it cannot be maintained until after the next jackpot game. However, it is not limited to this.
For example, the second variation table flag may be configured not to be set to 0 unless the predetermined number of certain variations is reached. That is, the process of setting the second fluctuation table flag in S344 to 0 is not executed, and the setting of the second fluctuation table flag is maintained even if a big hit occurs during the ST period.
Furthermore, a process for counting and storing the number of consecutive chunks, a process for determining whether or not the number of consecutive chunks has reached a predetermined number, and a second variation table flag when it is determined that the determination result of the determination process has been reached. You may comprise so that the process set to 0 may be provided.
As a result, if a small hit is generated even once during the extension period of the open utility, the second variation table reference period is highly advantageous after the big hit game as long as the continuous change continues up to a predetermined number of consecutive changes. Can be maintained. This makes it possible to acquire the second variable table reference period that is not limited to the big hit, that is, can be maintained during consecutive chants, so that the player's expectation for the small hit is incomparably increased, and the interest is significantly improved and small. The value of the winning game can be improved.
