Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  As a recent pachinko game machine, a big hit lottery with a predetermined probability is made when a game ball enters the starting opening on the game board surface (game area), and if the big hit lottery is won, The mainstream is pachinko gaming machines that transition to the state and can open a large winning opening provided on the game board surface to obtain a large number of prize balls. Within these types of pachinko machines, when a specific jackpot (probability per hit) is reached, the probability of subsequent jackpot lottery increases (probability fluctuation), and the next jackpot is generated at relatively short intervals. This is called a so-called stochastic machine.

By the way, a game machine in which an upper limit number (so-called limiter number) of the number of continuations when a probability variation is made and probability variation continues continuously has been proposed among these probability variation machines (Patent Literature). 1). Here, in the pachinko gaming machine proposed in Patent Document 1, when the limiter is set, the time when the game is stopped becomes remarkable, and there is a problem that the interest of the game is lowered. Therefore, the number of limiters is set by lottery from among a plurality of types, and the notification of the number of limiters is not clearly notified, and the player is informed by the effect corresponding to the number of notifications within a range not exceeding the limiter number. In addition, a pachinko gaming machine that does not make the game stop prominent has been proposed (Patent Document 2).

First, “easy winning state (open state, open state)” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or in a state where it is easier to flow in compared to a winning non-easy state. "State)" refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in and a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in compared to a state where easy winning is possible. Here, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), the open state = easy-to-win state and the closed state = non-easy-to-win state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following conditions, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. “Driving mode” means not only the opening / closing pattern (open period and number of times) of the grand prize opening, but also the operational mode of the ball shielding member to the ball entering area provided in the big prize opening (entrance shielding position This also includes a displacement or a displacement at a non-intrusive shielding position. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). And light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a difference in color).

In the case of Yes in step 142, in step 144, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 determines whether or not the holding information exists in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage unit 1132a. In the case of Yes in step 144, in step 1400 (1), the game control means 1100 executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 144, in step 1400 (2), the game control means 1100 executes a second main game symbol display process to be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. In the case of No in step 142, the process proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the present embodiment, the hold on the second main game side is preferentially digested (so-called preferential digestion) by the processing of step 142 and step 144. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured to sequentially perform on-hold digestion (so-called inbound order digestion) according to the order of entering the first main game start port 2210 or the second main game start port 2110. , Both of the pending digestions may be executed simultaneously (so-called parallel digestion).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process and the second main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is common to the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, unless otherwise specified, the first main game symbol side is mainly described, and the second main game symbol side. Is written in parentheses. First, in step 1402, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) satisfies the variation start condition related to the symbol variation of the first main game symbol (second main game symbol). It is determined whether or not. Here, the “variation start condition” means that a special game is being played (and a distribution game to be described later), that any main game symbol is not changing, or the like.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information). The first main game side random number (second main game side random number) related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the temporary storage means 1132a), is read. Next, in step 1405, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) uses the read first main game side random number (second main game side random number) as the first main game symbol. The information is deleted from the hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a) and shifted, and the remaining hold information is shifted (as a result, the hold digestion proceeds). Next, at step 1406, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 stores the first main game side random number (first winning random number) {second main game side random number (second winning random number)} and the main game side gaming state temporary storage means 1191b. Based on the temporarily stored main game game state (particularly the main game probability change flag state), the first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3) is referred to. A lottery for winning / decreasing a game symbol is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the big winning probability in the main game probability change game state (main game probability change flag = on state) is the main game non-probability change game state (main game probability change flag = off state). It is configured to have a higher probability than the jackpot winning probability at the time. Note that the jackpot winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in addition to the big hit, it may be configured to win a small hit, in which case the big lottery and the small lottery may be executed with the same lottery table, or the big hit lottery table is referred to first. If the big hit lottery is executed and the lottery is shifted to the big hit lottery, the small hit lottery may be executed with reference to the small hit lottery table. Further, the small hitting lottery may be executed by referring to the small hitting lottery table first, and the big hitting lottery may be executed even when the small hitting lottery is deviated or hit.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1408, the special game transition determining means 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win (in this example, a big win). In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a.

In the case of Yes in step 1476, in step 1478, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, at step 1480, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the auxiliary game short time flag in the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500). . In addition, also in the case of No in step 1470, step 1472, or step 1476, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on various parameters { Although details of the table are not shown in the drawing, in this example, all the stop symbols are 10 rounds (one round is entered into the first grand prize opening 2120 or the first big prize opening until 30 seconds elapses). The special game content of the game that releases 2120 is set}. Next, in step 1507, the specific game control means 1180 has the game state (especially the main game probability change flag) at the time of this big hit temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information storage area). Status) information. Next, at step 1508-1, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the current big hit is a big hit in the main game probability change game state (main game probability change flag = on state). In the case of Yes in Step 1508-1, in Step 1508-2, the specific game control means 1180 adds 1 to the count value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a (increment), and proceeds to Step 1510. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1508-1, in step 1508-3, the specific game control means 1180 clears the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a (clears the counter value to zero), and proceeds to step 1510.

  Next, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage unit 1191b, and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the main game side temporary game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 1514, the specific game control means 1180 clears (zero clears) the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1516. If step 1510 is No, the process proceeds to step 1516. Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage unit 1191b and determines whether or not the main game short time flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 1519, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the auxiliary game short time flag in the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b. Next, in step 1520, the specific game control means 1180 clears (zero clears) the main game short time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 1528. In the case of No in step 1516, the process proceeds to step 1528. In step 1528, the condition determination unit 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game start display instruction information) instructing the start display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1609, the special game execution unit 1173 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to step 1611. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1611. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1611, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not the round number counter value in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is the last round (in this example, counter value = 10) ( Note that it is not limited to the final round, and may be any round within the maximum number of rounds during the special game). In the case of Yes in step 1611, in step 1700, the special game executing means 1173 executes a probability-changing game transition distribution control process described later, and proceeds to step 1636.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1611, in step 1612, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and, in other words, whether the round continuation flag is on, in other words, the round is It is determined whether it is in the middle. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game control means 1170 stores the special game temporarily stored in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Based on the contents, an opening pattern (for example, an opening pattern that keeps opening, a pattern that opens and closes) of the first big prize opening 2120 is set. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game executing means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 to open the first big prize opening 2120 and to execute the round execution timer 1174a. A predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is set in (especially the open time timer), and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the round execution timer 1174a (particularly, the opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630. In the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the first big prize opening electrical accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 and closes the first big prize opening 2120. In step 1632, the special game execution means 1173 resets the round execution timer 1174a. Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1635, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter value in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 (increment). Next, in step 1636, the special game executing unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 to determine whether or not the round is the final round {for example, the round number counter value is a predetermined maximum number of rounds. (In this example, whether or not 10 is exceeded) is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game end display instruction information) for instructing the end display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the probability variation game transfer distribution control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in the present embodiment, in the final round during execution of a special game, a game for determining a transition state of a game state after the special game (hereinafter, referred to as a distribution game or a probability change game transition distribution). ) Is configured to be executable. That is, in step 1750, the distributed game execution control means 1175 executes a distributed game execution content determination process to be described later. Next, at step 1800, the allocated game execution control means 1175 executes an allocated game execution process described later, and returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution content determination process according to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. First, in step 1751, the distributed game execution control means 1175 determines whether or not the distributed game execution flag in the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 is off. Here, the distribution game execution flag is a flag that is turned on in the distribution game execution process described later, and is a flag that maintains the on state during the execution of the distribution game. In the case of Yes in step 1751, in step 1752, the allocated game execution control means 1175 turns on the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Here, the main game probability change reservation flag is a flag that is referred to in a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and when the special game is ended while the flag is kept on, the specific game The transition to the state (in particular, the main game probability change game state) will be confirmed. Next, at step 1754, the allocated game execution control means 1175 confirms the current winning symbol temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information storage area). Next, in step 1756, the sorting game execution control means 1175 determines whether or not the current big hit is a big hit on the first main game side based on the confirmation result. In the case of Yes in step 1756, in step 1758, the sorting game execution control unit 1175 determines whether or not the current big hit is a predetermined big hit symbol (for example, “1A”) based on the confirmation result. In the case of Yes in step 1758, in step 1760, the allocated game execution control unit 1175 turns off the easy allocation flag (the role of the flag will be described later) in the game related information temporary storage unit 1190, and the process proceeds to step 1772. Transition. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1756 (in the case of a big hit on the second main game side) or in the case of No in step 1758 {in cases other than the predetermined big hit symbol on the first main game side ("1A")}, In step 1762, the allocated game execution control means 1175 turns on the easy allocation flag in the game related information temporary storage means 1190. Next, at step 1764, the distributed game execution control means 1175 sets the main game short transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b (the flag is turned on as in the above-mentioned main game probability change transition reservation flag). When the special game ends with the game maintained, the transition to the short game state during the main game and the short game state during the auxiliary game is determined), and the process proceeds to step 1772.

  Next, at step 1772, the sorting game execution control means 1175 determines whether or not the counter value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a is a predetermined value (for example, 5) or more. In the case of Yes in step 1772, in step 1774, the allocated game execution control means 1175 turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 1775, the allocated game execution control unit 1175 turns off the easy allocation flag in the game-related information temporary storage unit 1190, and proceeds to step 1776. If NO in step 1772, the process proceeds to step 1776. In step 1776, the assigned game execution control unit 1175 turns on the assigned game execution permission flag in the game-related information temporary storage unit 1190, and returns to the caller of this subroutine. Migrate to If NO in step 1751, the process returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, at step 1802, the allocated game execution control means 1175 determines whether or not the allocated game execution permission flag in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 is on. In the case of Yes in Step 1802, in Steps 1804 and 1806, the distributed game execution control means 1175 turns off the distributed game execution permission flag and turns on the distributed game execution flag in the game related information temporary storage means 1190. Then, the process proceeds to step 1812. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1802, in step 1810, the allocated game execution control unit 1175 determines whether or not the allocated game execution flag in the game related information temporary storage unit 1190 is on. If YES in step 1810, the process proceeds to step 1812. In the case of No in step 1810, the allocated game execution control means 1175 determines that the subsequent allocation game execution permission has not been granted and returns to the calling source of this subroutine.

  Next, at step 1812, the distributed game execution control means 1175 determines whether or not the distributed game continuation flag in the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 is on, in other words, the distributed game is being executed. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in Step 1812, that is, in the middle of the execution of the distribution game, the process proceeds to Step 1830 without performing the processes of Steps 1814 to 1826 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1812, that is, when it is just before the start of the distribution game, first, in Step 1814, the distribution game execution control means 1175 has the easy distribution flag in the game related information temporary storage means 1190. It is determined whether or not is on. In the case of Yes in Step 1814, in Step 1816, the distribution game management means 1175a receives a ball in the specific area 2221a (detected in the specific area 2221a) as an opening pattern of the distribution prize winning combination electric accessory 2222. Set an easy opening pattern (for example, a pattern that opens the sorting prize-winning electrical accessory 2222 for 15 seconds and changes the above-described shielding member to a position that facilitates detection of entering the ball in the specific area 2221a), Control goes to step 1822. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1814, in step 1818, the distribution game management means 1175a enters the specific area 2221a as an opening pattern of the distribution prize winning hole electric accessory 2222 (entrance detection in the specific area 2221a). ) Is difficult (for example, a pattern in which the allocation prize winning combination electric accessory 2222 is opened for 0.5 seconds and the above-described shielding member is changed to a position where it is difficult to detect entry in the specific region 2221a). Is set and the process proceeds to step 1822. Next, at step 1822, the allocated game execution control means 1175 clears the winning ball counter in the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 to zero. Next, in step 1824, the distributed game execution control means 1175 turns on the distributed game continuation flag in the game-related information temporary storage means 1190. In step 1826, the allocation game execution control means 1175 drives the allocation prize winning port electric accessory 2222 of the allocation prize winning port 2220 to open the allocation prize winning port 2220, and the allocation game execution timer. A predetermined time (open time based on the open pattern) is set in 1175a-1 (particularly the open time timer), and the process proceeds to step 1830.

  Next, at step 1830, the allocation game execution control means 1175 allocates the allocation game entrance entrance detection device 2221 from the allocation entry game entrance information or the specific area entry information from the specific area 2221a. It is determined whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won at the payout opening 2220. If “Yes” in step 1830, the process proceeds to step 1840. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1830, in Step 1832, the distribution game execution control means 1175 refers to the distribution game execution timer 1175a-1 (particularly, the open time timer), and distributes the winning prize electric machine 2222. It is determined whether or not the open period has expired. Also in the case of Yes in Step 1832, the process proceeds to Step 1840, and in the case of No, the process returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  Next, at step 1840, the distribution game execution control means 1175 stops driving the distribution prize winning hole electric accessory 2222 of the distribution prize winning opening 2220 and closes the distribution prize winning opening 2220. Next, in step 1842, the allocated game execution control unit 1175 turns off the allocated game continuation flag in the game-related information temporary storage unit 1190. Next, at step 1844, the allocated game execution control means 1175 turns off the allocated game execution flag in the game related information temporary storage means 1190. Next, at step 1850, the distribution condition satisfaction determination means 1175b enters the specific area 2221a during execution of the distribution game based on the specific area entry information from the specific area 2221a during execution of the distribution game. Determine if there was no ball. In the case of Yes in step 1850, in step 1852, the distribution condition satisfaction determination unit 1175b turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage unit 1191b, and proceeds to step 1860. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1850, step 1852 is skipped (in other words, the flag state of the main game probability change transition reservation flag set in advance is maintained), and the process proceeds to step 1860. In step 1860, the distribution game execution control means 1175 adds 1 to the round number counter value in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b is on. In the case of Yes in step 9002, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game probability change flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b, and proceeds to step 9012. In the case of No in step 9002, the process proceeds to step 9012. Next, in step 9012, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the main game short time transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b is on. In the case of Yes in step 9012, in step 9014, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game short time transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9016, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9018, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b. Next, in step 9020, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 100) to the counter value of the main game short time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 9030. In the case of No in step 9012, the process proceeds to step 9030. Then, in step 9030, the information transmission means 1300 provides information on the game state after the special game (for example, the main game probability change flag state and the main game short time flag state in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b, the auxiliary game side game) Information on the auxiliary game short time flag state in the temporary state storage means 1192b, the counter value of the main game short time counter 1181b, etc.) is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). To do.

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 19 is a main flowchart 5000 showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 5200, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display control process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display control processes described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes display control processing during special game (during big hit), which will be described later. Next, in step 6400, effect control means 2320 executes a firing intensity instruction information display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 5200. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display control process according to the subroutine of step 5200 in FIG. First, in step 5202, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and determines whether or not new hold information is received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 5202, in step 5204, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b adds (increments) 1 to the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. In this example, the holding upper limit on the first main game side + the holding upper limit on the second main game side is set as the upper limit value of the drawing holding counter value Ch. Next, in step 5206, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b temporarily stores the main game-side random number related to the hold information received from the main control device 1000 side in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Control goes to step 5230. In step 5230, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b displays the same number of hold displays as the drawing hold counter value Ch of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1 (for example, on the drawing hold display unit 2312). The hold on the first main game side and the hold on the second main game side are separated, and a maximum of eight hold display images can be displayed), and the next process {first of step 6100 (1)} The process proceeds to sub-game display content determination processing}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5202, in step 5220, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main information temporary storage unit 2321a, and receives new symbol information (in other words, symbol from the main controller 1000 side). It is determined whether or not a change is started. In the case of Yes in step 5220, in step 5222, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Next, in step 5224, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b deletes the main game-side random number related to the symbol variation from the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and shifts the remaining hold information. In step 5226, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the sub game content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 5230. In the case of No in step 5220, the process proceeds to the next process {first sub game display content determination process in step 6100 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the first and second subsidiary game display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. Here, the processing is common between step 6100 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6100 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side. Both will be explained together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 determines whether or not the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 turns off the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322 c. Next, in step 6106, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side stored temporarily in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the stop symbol of the main game symbol). The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined with reference to the stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2, and temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6110, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the variation mode of the main game symbols). Referring to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1, the sub-game side (sub-side) variation mode (the contents of the decorative symbol variation or the execution content such as the notice effect) is determined. The display related information is temporarily stored in the display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6150, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 turns on the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the next process {first decoration of step 6200 (1)]. The process proceeds to the symbol display control process}. In the case of No in step 6102, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process in step 6200 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the first and second subsidiary game display control processing according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since the process is common between step 6200 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6200 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side, Both will be explained together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a determines whether or not the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6206, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6208, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the drawing display unit 2311 on the effect display device 2310 based on the variation mode on the secondary game side temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Then, the decorative symbol change display is started (and a notice effect or the like is executed in accordance with the decorative symbol change display), and the process proceeds to step 6212. If No in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212.

  Next, in step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a determines whether or not the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6224, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 6224, in step 6228, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the fixed symbol (displays the symbol image determined as the decorative symbol stop symbol). Next, in step 6230, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next processing (display control processing during special game in step 6300). . In the case of No in step 6212 or 6224, the process proceeds to the next process (a special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the special game (during big hit) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 determines whether or not the special game in-progress flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and determines whether or not special game start display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6308, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit start display on the effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6310.

  Next, in step 6310, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit execution display on the effect display device 2310 and, based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side, determines the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes. Display sequentially. Next, in step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not special game end display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special game in-progress flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (launch intensity instruction information display control process in step 6400). In the case of No in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310, and in the case of No in step 6304 or step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (launch intensity instruction information display control process in step 6400).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the firing intensity instruction information display control process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. First, in step 6402, the firing intensity instruction information display control means 2322e ends the special game based on the information regarding the game state after the special game from the main control device 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a. It is determined later whether or not to shift to the short game state in the main game (auxiliary game). In the case of Yes in step 6402, in step 6404, the launch intensity instruction information display control means 2322e notifies the player to launch a game ball to the right side of the game area 120 (based on the center of the game area) (for example, on the effect display device 2310). At the predetermined display position, a message “→ Please turn right” is displayed), and the processing proceeds to the next processing (holding information management / holding display control processing in step 5200). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6402, in step 6406, the launch intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e notifies the player to launch a game ball to the left of the game area 120 (based on the center of the game area) (for example, an effect display device 2310). At the predetermined display position above, the message “← Please left” is displayed), and the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management / holding display control process in step 5200).

(Function)
With the configuration as described above, according to the present embodiment, when determining the game state after the end of the special game, in the predetermined round (in this example, the final round) during the execution of the special game, the main game probability change game A variable prize opening (for example, a distribution prize opening 2220) having a specific area (for example, the specific area 2221a) is opened according to an opening mode determined based on the number of times of continuous transition to the state (for example, the value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a). If the player enters the state and does not enter the specific area during the open state, the game is shifted to the main game non-probability change game state after the special game ends. In the present embodiment, when the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state is less than the predetermined number of times, it is easy to enter the specific area, while the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state It is configured to make it difficult to enter a specific area when the number of times exceeds a predetermined number of times, and in such a case, it is possible to achieve the same playability as a so-called probability variation limiter machine. It becomes.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state becomes a predetermined number or more, the main game non-change after the special game ends regardless of whether or not a specific area is entered. Since it is configured to shift to the gaming state, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the main gaming probability changing gaming state continues when the limiter upper limit is exceeded when the gaming property is the same as that of a so-called probability changing limiter machine.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when determining the gaming state after the end of the special game, it is specified according to the release mode determined based on the jackpot symbol in a predetermined round (in this example, the final round) during the execution of the special game. When a variable winning opening (for example, a distribution winning opening 2220) having an area (for example, a specific area 2221a) is opened, and the player does not enter the specific area during the open state, the main game non-probable change game Since it is configured to shift to the state, it is possible to vary the ratio of shifting to the main game probability change game state for each jackpot symbol (especially, in the case of the first type first type multifunction peripheral, the first main type The game side and the second main game side can change the rate of transition to the main game probability change game state after the end of the special game)), therefore, to develop a pachinko machine with new game characteristics In There is an effect that that.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when determining the game state after the end of the special game, the main game (auxiliary game) is configured to determine whether or not to shift to the short game state based on the jackpot symbol. When not transitioning to the game probability change gaming state {in particular, when the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability change gaming state (for example, the value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a) exceeds a predetermined number, the transition to the main game probability change gaming state Even if it is configured to be difficult}, it is possible to configure it so that it can shift to the short game state at the time of the main game (auxiliary game), and therefore, a pachinko game machine with new game characteristics will be developed. There is an effect that can be.

(Example of change)
In the present embodiment, when determining the opening / closing mode of the variable prize opening (for example, the distribution prize opening 2220), the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state (for example, the value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a) is predetermined. Although it is configured that it is difficult to enter a specific area in the variable winning opening (for example, the distribution winning opening 2220) when the number of times is exceeded, the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration example in that case is a modification example (modification example 1) from the present embodiment, and only the modification points from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  Next, FIG. 25 shows the first main game symbol display process and the second main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the present embodiment. It is a flowchart. First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 1411-1 (Modification 1) to Step 1411-3 (Modification 1), and the purpose is that the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is a predetermined number or more. If the result of the winning / losing lottery is a win (in this example, a big hit), a specific big win symbol is determined as a stop symbol of the main game symbol. That is, in step 1411-1 (change 1), the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is stored in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a. It is determined whether or not the hit flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1411-1 (Modified 1), the process proceeds to Step 1412. In the case of No in Step 1411-1 (Modified 1), the first main process is performed in Step 1411-2 (Modified 1). The game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines whether or not the counter value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a is less than a predetermined value (for example, 5). If Yes in Step 1411-2 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 1412. If No in Step 1411-2 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 1411-3 (Modification 1). The game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines the probability change end symbol “SP”, which is a specific jackpot symbol, as a stop symbol related to the first main game symbol (second main game symbol). The first main game / second main game related information temporary storage means 1191a is temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to step 1413.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution content determination process according to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. 16 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from this embodiment are about Step 1755 (Modification 1), Step 1774 (Modification 1) and Step 1775 (Modification 1), and the purpose is a specific jackpot symbol (in this example, the end of probability variation). When the allocation game related to the winning symbol “SP” is executed, it is difficult to enter a specific area (for example, the specific area 2221a) in the variable winning opening (for example, the allocation winning area 2220). That is, in step 1755 (change 1), the allocated game execution control means 1175 is based on the confirmation result of the current winning symbol temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information storage area). Then, it is determined whether or not the current big hit symbol is not the symbol “SP” per probability change end. In the case of Yes in Step 1755 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 1756, whereas in the case of No in Step 1755 (Modification 1), the distribution game execution control means 1175 in Step 1774 (Modification 1) The main game probability change transition reservation flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b is turned off. Next, in Step 1775 (Variation 1), the allocated game execution control unit 1175 turns off the easy allocation flag in the game related information temporary storage unit 1190, and proceeds to Step 1764.

  By configuring as described above, according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when determining the gaming state after the end of the special game, in a predetermined round (in this example, the final round) during the execution of the special game The release mode is determined according to the jackpot symbol determined based on the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability change game state (for example, the value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a). Then, based on the determined release mode, the variable winning opening (for example, the distribution winning opening 2220) having a specific area (for example, the specific area 2221a) is set to the open state, and the specific area is entered during the open state. If not, since it is configured to shift to the main game non-probability change game state, for example, when reaching the probability change limiter, there is an effect that it can be clearly notified by a big hit symbol .

(Second embodiment)
In the present embodiment (including the first modification), the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state (for example, the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a value) reaches a predetermined number of times after the special game ends. While the transition to the game probability changing gaming state is facilitated, the transition reaching the predetermined number of times is configured to make it difficult to transition to the main gaming probability changing gaming state after the end of the special game. Here, if it can be configured so that the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state can be reset by the player's intention without incurring a disadvantage to the player, a new gameability different from the present embodiment can be achieved. It becomes possible to create. Therefore, a configuration example that enables such game play is a second embodiment, and only the changes from this embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, the focus of the second embodiment is that (1) the big hit probability (especially, the big hit probability in the main game non-probability variation game) has a high probability (for example, the main game non-probability variation game). (2) The case where the predetermined number of times (the upper limit number of times and the number of limiters) related to the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is large (for example, 20). In this case, when a split game is executed under the situation where the transition to the main game probability change game state is easy after the special game ends, there is a high ratio of holding a big hit in the main game non-probability change game state. There is in point. More specifically, if it is assumed that the number of holds is always “4” after the end of the special game, the remaining hold will be consumed after the end of the special game until the limiter count is reached. The number of times held is “4 holds” × the number of limiters “20 times” = 80 times. In other words, if the winning probability of 1/40 is won in the 80 times, there will be a holding that becomes a big hit in the main game non-probability changing gaming state after the special game is over. And by using such a characteristic and adopting a configuration as described below, the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state is reset by the player's intention without penalizing the player. It can be configured to obtain.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of Step 1800 of FIG. 17 in the second embodiment. First, the changes from this embodiment are about Step 1807 (second) to Step 1811 (second), and the purpose is to provide a waiting period immediately before the start of the distribution game and to change the main game probability change game state. In the situation where it is easy to make a transition to, the current number of continuous transitions to the main game probability changing game state is transmitted to the sub-side. That is, in step 1807 (second), the distributed game management unit 1175a determines whether or not the easy distribution flag in the game related information temporary storage unit 1190 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1807 (second), in step 1808 (second), the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a signal (distribution game start information) to start the distribution game to the effect control unit 2320 side. At the same time, the counter value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1809 (second). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1807 (second), the process proceeds to step 1809 (second). Next, at step 1809 (second), the distributed game management means 1175a starts by setting a predetermined value (for example, 5 seconds) to the distributed game standby timer 1175a-2. Next, at step 1811 (second), the allocated game management means 1175a determines whether or not the allocated game standby timer 1175a-2 has expired (whether or not the timer value is zero). If Yes in step 1811 (second), the process proceeds to step 1812 to start execution of the distribution game, while if No in step 1811 (second), execution of the distribution game. Will not start and will be in a standby state.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a main flowchart 5000 showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320 in the second embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 6500 (second), and the purpose thereof is the hold information (particularly, the main game side random value) and the main game probability change game transmitted from the main controller 1000 side. Based on the number of times of continuous transition to a state, a game instruction relating to whether or not a game ball can be launched is notified to the player. That is, in step 6500 (second), the effect control means 2320 executes a game instruction information display control process at the time of distribution game, which will be described later.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the game instruction information display control processing at the time of the distribution game according to the subroutine of Step 6500 (second) in FIG. 28 in the second embodiment. First, in step 6502 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not the distribution game start information is received from the main control device 1000 side. To do. In the case of Yes in step 6502 (second), in step 6504 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control means 2322e is the main game temporarily stored (held) in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1. With reference to the side random number, for each random value of the main game side random number, the lottery result in “in the main game non-probability variation game” is pre-determined (the main game non-in the main game content pre-determination reference table 2322d-1) Pre-determined with reference to the probability variation game time table), and temporarily stored in the pre-determined result temporary storage means 2322d-2. Here, as shown in the above-described series of processes, the timing at which this process is executed is the time of waiting for the start of the distribution game in a situation where the transition to the main game probability change game state is easy. Let me supplement. Next, in step 6506 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e determines “main game non-probability variation” within the hold based on the preliminary determination result temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. It is determined whether or not there is a random value that is a big hit at the time of “game”. In the case of Yes in step 6506 (second), in step 6508 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control means 2322e refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a, and transmits the main intensity transmitted from the main controller 1000 side. The number of continuous transitions to the game probability change gaming state (the same value as the count value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a) is read. Next, in step 6510 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e determines whether or not the number of continuous transitions to the read main game probability change game state is a predetermined value (for example, 1) or more. To do. In the case of Yes in step 6510 (second), in step 6512 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control means 2322e notifies the stop of the game ball for a predetermined period of time, and the next processing (step The process proceeds to 5200 hold information management / hold display control process. If No in step 6502 (second), step 6506 (second), or step 6510 (second), the process proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200).

  By configuring as described above, according to the second embodiment, when determining the game state after the end of the special game, the main game probability change in a predetermined round (in this example, the final round) during the execution of the special game. In accordance with the release mode determined based on the number of continuous transitions to the gaming state (for example, the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a value), a variable winning opening (for example, a distribution winning opening 2220) having a specific area (for example, the specific area 2221a) is provided. The main game is in a state where it is configured to shift to the main game non-probability change game state (configured to be able to execute the distribution game) when it is in an open state and does not enter a specific area during the open state When there is a random value that will be a big hit in the `` main game non-stochastic variation game '' in the hold at the start of the distribution game in the situation where it is easy to transition to the probability variation game state, variable Since it is configured so that notification of avoiding entering the prize mouth can be executed, if the player has played in accordance with the notification and does not enter the specific area, the state has shifted to the main game non-probable change game state. After that, symbol variation (holding digestion) will be started. And, at the time of the on-hold digestion, a big hit will occur again, so the special game (and the distribution game) will be executed in a state where the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is reset. . As a result, the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability changing game state can be reset according to the player's intention without causing any disadvantage to the player. As a result, a new game different from the present embodiment There is an effect that sex can be created.

  When the second embodiment is carried out, the game balls flowing down on the right side or the left side of the game area 120 (based on the center of the game area) are arranged with the first grand prize winning port 2120 and the distribution prize winning port 2220. It is not limited to being configured to easily pass through the region. In that case, for example, the first big prize opening 2120 and the distribution prize opening 2220 are arranged apart from each other, and the game ball flowing down the right side of the game area 120 is easily guided to the distribution prize opening 2220, while the game It can be mentioned that the game ball flowing down the left side of the area 120 is not easily guided to the sorting prize opening 2220 (similarly, the game ball flowing down the right side of the game area 120 is placed in the first big prize opening 2120. On the other hand, it may be configured such that the game ball flowing down the left side of the game area 120 is easily guided to the first big prize opening 2120 while being hardly guided. In such a configuration, in step 6512 (second), the firing intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e does not “notify the player to stop the launch of the game ball for a predetermined period”, but “plays the game area 120”. It is possible to create a similar action by notifying the right side of the game ball not to fire.

  Note that when special games (and distribution games) are executed in the state where the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is reset, it is easy to enter the main game probability change game state. If it is desired to start a distributed game, it is preferable to pre-determine a stop symbol of the main game symbol in Step 6504 (second) (in terms of not causing a disadvantage to the player). Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit on the second main game side, or in a case other than a predetermined big win symbol ("1A") on the first main game side, As a result of the distribution game being started under the situation where the transition to the main game probability change game state is easy, whether or not there is a hold satisfying these conditions in step 6504 (second). It is preferable to determine whether or not in advance.

  In step 6510 (second), if the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability change game state is less than a predetermined value, the distribution game start standby in a situation where it is easy to enter the main game probability change game state. Even if there is a random number that will be a big hit in “main game non-stochastic variation game” within the holding time, it is possible to enter a variable prize opening (for example, distribution prize opening 2220) Although it is configured so that the notification of avoidance is not executed, the purpose is to avoid a situation in which a player may be disadvantaged as a result of avoiding entering a variable winning opening. More specifically, when the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is small (especially when it is zero), the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state is reset (if it is zero, it is reset to zero) Instead, as a result of the player not being awarded with a winning ball due to entering the variable winning opening, the winning ball may be lost to the player.

(Modification 1 of the second embodiment)
On the other hand, from a different point of view, when the process of step 6510 (second) is reviewed, it is possible to conceptualize a new game that can further enhance the interest of the game. Therefore, a configuration example that enables such game play is a modification example from the second embodiment (modification example 1 of the second embodiment), and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below. .

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the game instruction information display control process at the time of the distribution game according to the subroutine of Step 6500 (second) in FIG. 29 in Modification 1 of the second embodiment. First, the changes from the second embodiment are about step 6509 (second variation 1) and step 6510 (second variation 1), and the purpose is lottery based on the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability variation game state. Is to determine whether or not to notify that a winning at a variable winning opening (for example, a distribution winning opening 2220) is avoided. That is, in step 6509 (second variation 1), the firing intensity instruction information display control unit 2322e (particularly the execution determination unit 2322e-1) continues to the main game probability change game state transmitted from the main controller 1000 side. Based on the number of transitions (the same value as the count value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a), the game instruction notification availability determination lottery table 2322e-2 is referred to, and whether or not notification is made to avoid entering the variable winning opening is determined by lottery. To do. In step 6510, if it is determined that the execution determination unit 2322e-1 is to be notified (notified) by the lottery, step 6512 (second) is executed, while non-notification is performed by the lottery ( If it is determined that notification is not possible, step 6512 (second) is not executed.

  Here, FIG. 31 is an example of a lottery table 2322e-2 for determining whether or not to issue a game instruction notification. As shown in this example, in the first modification of the second embodiment, as the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability changing game state approximates the upper limit value (20 in this example), the variable prize opening is entered. It is configured so that the probability of making a notification to avoid the ball is increased. For example, when the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state = “1 to 4”, the determination is made with a probability of “100/1024”, while the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state When “= 15 to 19”, the determination is made with a probability of “900/1024”. Note that this example is merely an example, and the lottery probability and lottery conditions (separation of the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability changing game state) are not limited at all.

  By configuring as described above, according to the first modification of the second embodiment, when determining the gaming state after the end of the special game, in a predetermined round during the execution of the special game (in this example, the final round) In accordance with the release mode determined based on the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state (for example, the value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a), a variable prize opening (for example, a distribution prize) having a specific area (for example, the specific area 2221a) When the mouth 2220) is in the open state and the player does not enter the specific area during the open state, the state is configured to shift to the main game non-probable change game state (configuration game can be executed). Below, there is a random value that will be a big hit in the `` main game non-probability variation game '' in the hold at the start of the distribution game in the situation where it is easy to shift to the main game probability change game state Case Is configured so that the notification of avoiding entering the variable winning opening is executed by lottery based on the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability change game state, for example, to the main game probability change game state When the number of continuous transitions approximates the upper limit value, the interest of the game may be reduced when the probability of making a notification to avoid entering the variable winning opening is increased. Situation (decrease in interest due to approaching the transition period from a situation that is advantageous for a player who can easily transition to the main game probability changing gaming state to a situation that is difficult for a player who is difficult to transition to the main game certainty gaming state) Therefore, it is possible to create a new game that can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, when paying attention to further enhancing the fun of the game, if there is no random value that will be a big hit in the “main game non-probability variation game” (and during the main game probability variation game) within the hold Even if it exists, you may comprise so that the alert | report to the effect of avoiding the entrance to a variable winning opening may be performed. In other words, when a game is played according to the notification and a specific area is not entered, there is a mixture of cases (false notifications) where a big hit does not occur again at the time of suspension after the transition to the main game non-probability change game state. Therefore, for the player, a process of thinking whether or not to play according to the notification will occur. In such a configuration, for example, based on the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change gaming state, the reliability related to the truth of the notification is made different (for example, continuous transition to the main game probability change game state) When the number of times is “1 to 4”, false notification is executed at a rate of “10%”. When the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability changing game state is “15 to 19” In the process of thinking whether or not to play a game in accordance with the notification, it is possible to provide a player with decision-making materials in the process of thinking whether or not to play a game according to the notification. Become. Furthermore, in the process of thinking whether or not to play a game in accordance with the notification, when focusing on the point of providing the player with material for decision-making, when changing the reliability of the notification, the main game probability change It is not necessarily based on the number of continuous transitions to the gaming state.

(Another example 1 of the first modification of the second embodiment)
For example, in the case of the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state = 0 (zero), at the time of start of the distribution game in the situation where the transition to the main game probability change game state is easy (so-called first hit time) In the distribution game start standby), the reliability related to the truth about the notification of avoiding entering the variable winning opening is determined as one (for example, “10% to 50%”) It may be configured to determine that false notification is executed at a rate). In that case, the reliability is determined in consideration of the factor on the main game side at the time of the first hit (for example, the rate at which false notification is executed as the number of symbol fluctuations required until the first hit increases) Or the reliability is determined in consideration of the factor of the secondary game side at the time of the first hit {for example, if a specific effect (for example, a premier effect) is displayed, false For example, the rate at which the notification is executed may be reduced.

(Another example 2 of Modification 1 of the second embodiment)
In addition, when determining the reliability in consideration of factors on the main game side, in the waiting for the start of the distribution game in a situation where it is easy to shift to the main game probability change game state (not limited to the initial hit) The reliability may be determined according to the currently held status. For example, it is possible to effectively prevent so-called stop-by by configuring the system so as to reduce the rate at which false notifications are executed as the number of holds increases, and a specific game section (for example, a special game) It is also possible to increase the interest of the section in which the player may feel frustrated by reducing the rate at which false notification is executed as the hold occurs in the middle).

(Another example 3 of the first modification of the second embodiment)
Further, when the reliability is determined in consideration of the factor on the secondary game side, the player may be selected from the plurality of predetermined reliability patterns by the sub input button 4000. . For example, if “reliability pattern 1” = (the number of continuous transitions to the main game probability change game state “1 to 10”, false notification is executed at a rate of “50%” and the main game probability change game state If the number of continuous transitions to “11-19” is “a pattern in which false notification is executed at a rate of“ 10% ”),“ reliability pattern 2 ”= (always false at a rate of“ 20% ”) In which the notification is executed), “reliability pattern 3” = (a pattern in which false notification is executed by determining any one ratio of “10% to 50%” at the start of each distribution game), And the like, and when waiting for the start of the distribution game, any one of “reliability pattern 1” to “reliability pattern 3” is determined by the player using the sub input button 4000. , Interactive between gaming machines and players It is possible to increase the.

(Third embodiment)
It should be noted that, when performing notification to avoid entering the variable winning opening, a process of thinking whether or not to play according to the notification is created and attention is given to providing the player with decision making materials. In this case, there is room for reconsidering the execution timing of the distribution game. That is, in the present embodiment (including the first modification) and the second embodiment (including the first modification), the distribution game is started in a predetermined round (in this example, the last round) during the execution of the special game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration example in that case is the third embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 32 is a basic structural diagram of the front side of the pachinko gaming machine in the third embodiment. First, a change from the present embodiment is that a continuation area 2221b is provided in the distribution winning award 2220. Here, the continuation area 2221b is provided close to the top and bottom below the specific area 2221a. When a certain game ball is detected in the specific area 2221a, the continuation area 2221b is also present in the continuation area 2221b. It is configured to detect the entry of a game ball. The continuation area 2221b and the specific area 2221a may be configured as the same member (sensor).

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of Step 1500 of FIG. 13 in the third embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about step 1530 (third), and the purpose is based on the stop symbol at the time of jackpot, in any arbitrary round during the execution of the special game (Hereinafter, the arbitrary round may be referred to as a distribution game execution target round). That is, in step 1530 (third), the special game content determination means 1172 is based on the stop symbol at the time of the current big hit stored temporarily in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information storage area). The distribution game execution target round is determined and set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 (for example, when the maximum number of rounds is “10”, “10” in the case of “1A, 3A, 7A” symbols) (For example, “3” round for “1B” symbol, “5” round for “3B” symbol, and “10” round for “7B” symbol.) .

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of special game control processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 of FIG. 14 in the third embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 1611 (third), and the purpose thereof is the distribution in the third embodiment to be described later in the situation where the special game is the distribution game execution target round. While starting the execution of the divided game, the configuration is such that the round execution process in the present embodiment is executed under a situation that is not the distribution game execution target round. That is, in step 1611 (third), the special game execution means 1173 sets the distribution game execution target round set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Are equal, in other words, it is determined whether the currently executed round is a distribution game execution target round. If Yes in step 1611, the process proceeds to step 1700, while if No in step 1611, the process proceeds to step 1612.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of Step 1800 of FIG. 17 in the third embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 1854 (third) and Step 1856 (third), and the purpose is when the player does not enter the continuation area 2221b during the distribution game. Is to control the special game to be forcibly terminated. That is, in step 1854 (third) executed at the distribution game end timing, the special game execution means 1173 determines whether or not there is a ball entering the continuation area 2221b. In the case of Yes in step 1854 (third), in step 1856 (third), the special game execution means 1173 controls to forcibly terminate the special game (for example, the round in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194). Set the number counter to a value that exceeds the maximum number of rounds). As described above, when a certain game ball is detected in the specific area 2221a, the continuation area 2221b is also configured to detect the entry of the certain game ball. When the special game is forcibly terminated without entering the area 2221b, the special game is terminated without entering the specific area 2221a.

  By configuring as described above, according to the third embodiment, the distribution game execution rounds (distribution game execution target rounds) are configured to be different based on the jackpot symbol, and at the end of the distribution game execution In this case, if the player does not enter the continuation area (for example, the continuation area 2221b), the special game is forcibly terminated and the special game is shifted to the main game non-probable change game state while the special game is terminated. In the case of a ball, it is configured to execute the rounds after the distribution game execution target round and to shift to the main game probability changing game state after the special game is finished. Therefore, in the same way as in the second embodiment, at the time of waiting for the allocation game start in the situation where it is easy to shift to the main game probability change game state, If a random number value is present, the player can be notified of avoidance of entering a variable winning opening (for example, the distribution winning opening 2220). Taking into account the benefits given by resetting the number of consecutive transitions to the gaming state and the losses incurred when the special game is forcibly terminated, the decision on whether or not to play should be made according to the notification. Thus, it is possible to create a new gameability that can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In the above embodiment, when the number of times of continuous transition to the main game probability change gaming state (for example, the value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a) exceeds a predetermined number, it is difficult to enter the main game probability change game state. (1) The software is forcibly controlled so as not to shift to the main game probability change game state (for example, when the value of the probability change continuation upper limit counter 1181a exceeds a predetermined number of times, the main game probability change flag state, Main game probability change reservation flag is turned off), or (2) When entering a specific area 2221a in the distribution winning award 2220, it is configured to shift to the main game probability change game state, and the probability change continuation upper limit counter When the value 1181a is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times, it is difficult to enter the specific area 2221a in the distribution winning award 2220 (the distribution winning award 222). (3) When the player enters the specific area 2221a in the allocation prize opening 2220, the main game probability change game And a specific jackpot symbol is forcibly selected when the value of the probability variation continuation upper limit counter 1181a reaches a predetermined number of times or more. Examples of configurations such as making it difficult to enter the specific area 2221a in 2220 (shortening the opening time of the distribution winning opening 2220 or shielding the entrance to the specific area 2221a), etc. However, any of these configurations may be used, and a plurality of these configurations may be combined.

  In the above embodiment, the control mainly related to whether or not the transition to the main game probability changing game state is exemplified, but even the pachinko gaming machine not having the main game probability changing game state has the main game (auxiliary The same control (so-called limiter function) may be performed using only the short game state at the time of (game).
