Flashes in order from the left, so that the player can grasp the number of the hold information.

(About the general map display 55)
The normal map display unit 55 is a normal notification for showing the result of the normal map hit determination (lottery per normal map) triggered by the pachinko ball detection of the gate sensor 76 (passage of the pachinko ball of the gate material 33). It is a display means for displaying a design (hereinafter referred to as a common figure) in an identifiable manner. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the general-purpose display unit 55, a plurality of types of general-purpose figures are changed in response to detection of pachinko balls by the gate sensor 76 (passage of the pachinko balls of the gate member 33). A variation display (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a universal diagram variation display) is performed as a second symbol variation effect for deriving the universal diagram. In the embodiment, multiple types (two types in the example) of common maps are displayed in the light emission mode of the two LEDs, and the universal map display unit 55 displays the common maps according to the lighting positions of the LED lamps. Can be displayed as a universal map as a display per universal figure (design per universal figure) and a universal map as a display error that can recognize misalignment. In response to this, one common map is displayed in a fixed stop display on the general map display section 55. That is, the universal map display unit 55 of the embodiment displays the determination result of the universal map determination (per universal map or out of the normal map) in the light emission mode of the two LEDs.

(Regarding the general map hold display 56)
The usual figure hold display unit 56 stores ball passage detection information (various random number information such as random numbers for judgment per common figure) acquired when a pachinko ball passes through the gate unit 33 in a storage means (implementation). In the example, in the case where it is stored in the main control RAM 60c as general-purpose start hold information (start-start hold information), it is a display unit that displays the number of hold of the general-purpose start hold information in an identifiable manner. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the universal map hold display unit 56 includes a plurality of (two in the embodiment) light emitting display units (LED lamps). The number of fluctuations of the usual figure that is put on hold according to the display content is notified. The number of the reserved map start reserved displayed in the map holding display unit 56 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the gate 33 and is subtracted by 1 when the map variation display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number. Specifically, in the general-purpose hold display unit 56 according to the embodiment, when the number of general-purpose start hold memories is 1 to 2, the LED lamps of the general-purpose hold display unit 56 are sequentially lit from one side, and When the number is 3 to 4, the LED lamp of the usual figure hold display unit 56 blinks in order from one side, so that the number of hold on which the usual figure change display is performed can be grasped.

(About probability change)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a special gaming state advantageous to the player as a specific state different from the game per special figure when the judgment result of the special figure determination is a determination result capable of operating the condition device. It is configured so that it can be granted. Specifically, when the determination result of the special figure determination is a determination result capable of operating the condition device, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device operated in accordance with the operation of the condition device is terminated, The first privilege gaming state can be given as a gaming state advantageous to the player from an ending time ED (end waiting time) to be described later of the game per special figure. In an Example, it is comprised so that a 1st privilege game state can be provided simultaneously with completion | finish of operation | movement of an accessory continuous operation | movement apparatus. Here, the first privilege gaming state is a state where the winning frequency of the pachinko ball to the special prize opening 41 can be increased as compared to a state where the first privilege gaming state is not given. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the probability (winning probability) that the determination per special figure is a winning determination result (winning) is changed from a low probability (for example, 1/399) to a high probability (for example, 1/60). ), The percentage of occurrence of the pachinko ball winning opportunity at the special winning opening 41 can be increased. In the following description, the gaming state given the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience. Further, a normal gaming state (low probability state) to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the winning probability of the game per special figure fluctuates with a high probability, and the game per special figure is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, Playing games with the expectation of a promising big hit.

  Here, when the probability variation state is determined to be provided on condition that a predetermined probability variation state provision condition (first privilege game state provision condition) is satisfied, and the probability variation state is determined to be imparted, It is configured to shift to a probability variation state on condition that a predetermined probability variation transition condition (first privilege game state transition condition) is satisfied. In the embodiment, it is determined that the probability variation state is to be imparted on condition that the type of the symbol per special symbol (the special diagram 1 or the special diagram 2) displayed in the fixed stop state is a predetermined symbol (certain variation state provision condition). It is comprised so that. That is, a game per special figure to which a probability variation state is given after the game per special figure is a game per probability variation special game, and a game per special diagram to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a game per non-probability special figure. Further, in the embodiment, when the probability change state is given, the probability change state is continuously given from the ending time ED of the game per special figure until the game per next special figure is given. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be the number of fluctuations of the symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display) after the probability variation state is given. In addition, each time a symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is performed, whether to shift to the non-probability variation state or to maintain the probability variation state is determined based on a random number acquired when a pachinko ball wins the start winning means (Falling lottery), and when winning the falling lottery, it is possible to shift to an uncertain change state.

(About variable state)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the determination result of the determination per special figure is a determination result capable of operating the condition device, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device operated in accordance with the operation of the condition device is performed. By ending, the second privilege gaming state can be given as a gaming state advantageous to the player from an ending time ED (end waiting time) to be described later of the game per special figure. In an Example, it is comprised so that a 2nd privilege game state can be provided simultaneously with the completion | finish of operation | movement of an accessory continuous action | operation apparatus. In other words, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment can give either or both of the first privilege gaming state and the first privilege gaming state simultaneously with the end of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device. Here, as the second privilege game state, the winning frequency of the pachinko ball to the operation port 101 opened and closed by the operation port opening / closing member 131 can be increased as compared with the state where the second privilege game state is not given. It is easy to enter. Specifically, in the second privilege gaming state, (1) the fluctuation time of the normal map change display is shortened, and (2) the probability of the normal map per the normal map determination is changed from a low probability to a high probability ( 3) By increasing the opening time of the working port opening / closing member 131 that opens the working port 101 once per time, the chance to win a pachinko ball to the working port 101 can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the working port opening / closing member 131 that opens the working port 101 once per diagram, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the working port opening / closing member 131, This can be realized by increasing the number of times the mouth opening / closing member 131 is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the above (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege gaming state. Further, in the following description, the gaming state to which the second privilege gaming state is given is referred to as a “variable state” for convenience. That is, the variable state is an easy-to-enter state in which the entrance rate of the pachinko balls into the operation port 101 is improved. In the variable state of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed in the normal map display unit 55 after the game per special figure is ended is shortened, and the probability per base figure is set to a low probability low probability (example) Is set to vary from 1/65536) to a high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536).

  Here, the variable state is determined to be provided on condition that a predetermined variable state grant condition (second privilege game state grant condition) is satisfied, and it is determined to give the variable state. In such a case, it is configured to shift to the variable state on condition that a predetermined variable transition condition (second privilege gaming state transition condition) is satisfied. In the embodiment, it is possible to give the variable state as a condition (variable state granting condition) that the type of the symbol per special symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) displayed in the fixed stop state is a predetermined symbol. It is configured to be determined. In other words, the game per special figure to which a change state is given after the end of the game per special figure from the end time ED of the game per special figure is a game per change special figure, and per special figure to which no change state is given. A game becomes a game per non-variable short special figure. Here, the probability variation state provision condition for imparting the probability variation state and the variation state provision condition for imparting the variation state can be the same condition or different conditions. In the embodiment, a symbol per special figure (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) in which the probability variation state provision condition and the variation state provision condition are simultaneously established is determined, and one of the probability variation state provision condition and the variation state provision condition (implementation) In the example, a symbol per special figure (Special figure 1 or Special figure 2) in which only the variable state giving condition) is established is defined. Further, in the embodiment, when the variable state is given, the variable state is changed according to the predetermined symbol type (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) for which the fixed stop display is performed. It is configured so that the granted period is different. Specifically, when the probability variation state provision condition and the variation state provision condition are satisfied at the same time, the variation state is continuously imparted while the certain variation state is imparted, and only the variation state provision condition is provided. When is established, a variable state is continuously given after the game per special figure is completed until a predetermined number of symbol fluctuation effects (special figure fluctuation display) is executed.

(About games per special figure)
Next, the game per special figure given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described.

In other words, in the embodiment, the game per fifth special figure is a form in which the pachinko ball is almost impossible to win in the round game R of the first round to the 16th round (for example, 0-50 pieces). The opening / closing member 43 of the special prize winning unit 40 is configured to open and close at a certain degree.

(About games per 6th special figure)
The sixth special figure game corresponding to the symbol c is set as a special figure game to which neither the probability variation state nor the variable state is given after the completion of the sixth special symbol game. In addition, the sixth special figure game corresponding to the symbol c is the variable operation when winning for each special figure until the next special figure game is won after the sixth special figure game. It is set as a symbol per special figure for operating the opening / closing member 131 of the entrance part 130 in the third opening / closing operation pattern P3. The sixth special figure game is a game per round special figure in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “16”. Since the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 43 in each round game R of the sixth special figure game is set to be the same as the above-mentioned fifth special figure game, its details are omitted. That is, in the game per sixth special figure, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time OP, and “5.0 (seconds)” is set as the ending time ED, respectively. In the round game R, the opening / closing member 43 is configured to perform only a short-time operation similarly to the game per fifth special figure. Therefore, in the embodiment, the game per sixth special figure is a form in which almost no prize ball can be obtained in the game per sixth special figure as in the game per fifth special figure (for example, about 0 to 50). ) Is configured to open and close the opening / closing member 43 of the special winning portion 40.

  That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, a plurality of types of game states that can be played after a game per special figure are set according to the determined type of game per special figure. That is, a game state in which a game can be played after a game according to the first special figure in which the probability change state and the change state are given and the operation port opening / closing member 131 operates in the first opening / closing operation pattern P1, and the probability change state and the change state are The game state that can be played after the game, and the probability change state and the change number of times of change of 10 times are provided per operation of the second, fourth, and fifth special drawings in which the operating port opening / closing member 131 operates in the second opening / closing operation pattern P2. A game state in which a short state is given and the operation port opening / closing member 131 operates in the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 can be played after a game per third special figure, and a probability change state and a change state are not given. A gaming state is set in which the opening / closing member 131 can play after the game according to the sixth special figure in which the opening / closing member 131 operates in the third opening / closing operation pattern P3. Here, the third opening / closing operation pattern P3 is an operation pattern in which the operating port opening / closing member 131 is operated in a state in which the probability variation state and the variation state are not imparted, and 10 given after the game per third special figure. Even after the symbol variation effect of the number of times of change is performed, the operation port opening / closing member 131 is configured to operate in the third opening / closing operation pattern P3.

(Regarding drive control of the variable operation ball entering portion 130 and the passage distributing portion 150)
The main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the first or second branch path 145, 146 through which the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 is passed through as usual. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a determines the operation mode (opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3) of the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation ball entry portion 130 that accompanies the universal map, and thus enters the operation port 101. The configured pachinko spheres are distributed to either the first branch path 145 or the second branch path 146. Here, whether the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 is distributed to the first branch path 145 or the second branch path 146 is determined in the distribution area of the variable pitching device 100 in the distribution area. Is determined by the timing of arrival of the signal and the operation position of the sorting body 151 of the passage sorting unit 150 at that timing. Therefore, the relationship between the operation mode of the sorting body 151 of the passage distribution unit 150 and the operation mode of the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation ball entry unit 130 determined by the main control CPU 60a will be described.

(About the operation of the sorting body 151 in the passage sorting section 150)
The passage distribution unit 150 is driven and controlled by the main control CPU 60a so that the distribution body 151 is displaced to the first distribution position and the second distribution position in a constant operation pattern as usual. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, when winning is made for each normal map, the distribution body 151 is moved to the first distribution position at a predetermined operation timing after the normal map change display for the normal map ends. From the second distribution position to the first distribution position after a predetermined time (first distribution time TZ1) has elapsed from the displacement to the second distribution position. The distribution body 151 is moved from the first distribution position to the second distribution after a predetermined time (second distribution time TZ2) has elapsed since the display of the movement of the normal map per unit map is completed. At the same time, the distribution body 151 is moved from the second distribution position to the first distribution after a lapse of a predetermined time (third distribution time TZ3) from the end of the general map fluctuation display for the normal map. It is configured to be displaced to the minute position. That is, the pachinko ball that has arrived at the branch position at the timing when the distribution body 151 is at the first distribution position after the normal map change display for the normal map ends is distributed to the first branch path 145. The pachinko balls that have arrived at the branching position at the timing when the sorting body 151 of the passage sorting unit 150 is at the second sorting position are sorted to the second branching path 146. Here, in the embodiment, the timing at which a predetermined opening standby time (for example, 500 milliseconds) elapses after the normal map change display ends when the normal map is reached is set as the operation timing.

  In addition, the first distribution time TZ1 is the time when the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 moves to the branch position simultaneously with the displacement (operation timing) of the distribution body 151 from the first distribution position to the second distribution position. It is set to a time shorter than the time required to do. That is, the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 simultaneously with the operation timing of the distribution body 151 is substantially immovable to the second branch path 146, and with the passage of the first distribution time TZ1. Thus, the distribution body 151 is displaced to the first branch path 145 by the distribution body 151 displaced to the first position. In other words, the passage sorting unit 150 substantially performs the pachinko ball sorting operation to the first branch path 145 in accordance with the usual figure, and then the pachinko ball to the second branch path 146. The main control CPU 60a is driven and controlled to perform the minute operation.

(Regarding the operation of the operation opening / closing member 131 in the variable operation entrance portion 130)
As described above, the main control CPU 60a determines the operation mode of the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation ball entry portion 130 according to the determined type of symbol per special figure (type of game per special figure). The opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 are determined. That is, when the winning per winning figure is won after the game per special figure, the operating port opening / closing member 131 of the variable action entrance part 130 is based on the opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 determined according to the previous special drawing. It is supposed to be operated. Here, as the opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 for opening / closing the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130, the pachinko balls entering the operation port 101 are the first branch 145 and the second branch path. A plurality of types of opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 having different ratios (possibility) to be distributed to 146 are set. Note that the main control CPU 60a not only determines the type of symbol per special figure (the type of game per special figure) but also the state after the game per special figure is in a state in which neither the probability variation state nor the variable state is given. The third opening / closing operation pattern P3 is determined as the operation mode of the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 in accordance with the switching of.

  In the embodiment, the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 and the third opening / closing operation pattern P3 having a high ratio that the pachinko balls that have entered the operation port 101 according to the opening operation of the operation port opening / closing member 131 are distributed to the first branch path 145, A second opening / closing operation pattern P <b> 2 is set in which a pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 with the opening operation of the operation port opening / closing member 131 is distributed to the second branch path 146. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment has a function as an exit passage determining unit that determines a branch passage through which the pachinko ball that has entered the operating port 101 is passed. It should be noted that all pachinko balls that have entered the operating port 101 when the operating port opening / closing member 131 is opened / closed based on the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 and the third opening / closing operation pattern P3 are distributed to the first branch path 145. There is also a possibility that it is distributed to one of the first and second branch paths 145 and 146 and to the first branch path 145 depending on the timing of the pachinko ball entering the operation port 101. You may make it high. Similarly, all the pachinko balls that have entered the operation port 101 when the operation port opening / closing member 131 is opened / closed based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P <b> 2 may be distributed to the second branch path 146. In addition, depending on the timing of the pachinko ball entering the working port 101, the first and second branch paths 145 and 146 are distributed and the possibility of being distributed to the second branch path 146 is increased. Good.

When the random number for special figure determination obtained when the pachinko ball wins any of the fixed start port 31 or the first variable start port 102 and the second variable start port 103 matches the determination value per special figure ( When the special figure judgment is a positive judgment result), it is decided that the game per special figure will be given after the end of the symbol variation effect, but the special figure judgment random number does not match the judgment value per special figure In the case where the special figure determination is a negative determination result, it is determined not to give a special game after the end of the symbol variation effect. Here, the judgment value per special figure differs depending on whether or not the above-mentioned probability variation state is given at the time of judgment per special diagram, and the number of judgment values set is different in the case of the probability variation state than the non-probability variation state. The probability of winning (the probability of matching between the random number for judgment per special figure and the judgment value per special figure) is set to be high.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is the special figure 1 or the second special figure display part 50B as a special figure figure to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A when the special figure judgment is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the special figure per symbol to be confirmed and stopped by using a special figure determining random number.

The effect execution determination value determines whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests that a special symbol display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the special symbol determination is negative. This is a determination value used in the effect execution determination (reach determination), and is determined from all 241 integers from “0” to “240” that can be taken by the effect execution determination random number. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that an effect such as a reach effect is to be executed when the acquired random value for effect execution determination matches the set effect execution determination value.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect mode) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display. , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design fluctuation effect and special figure from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display) is specified.

The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17, and until the symbol combination of the decorative figure that is per or out of the special symbol is stopped and displayed. is there.

  In the main control ROM 60b, a special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is set in which a special figure fluctuation pattern determination value is assigned to a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be determined according to the result of the special figure determination or the effect execution determination. The main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern that matches the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern random number.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used in the determination of whether or not it is per universal figure using the random number for determination per universal figure (lottery per universal figure). A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). Is set more than 1). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur. In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores the determination value for determining the normal map. The determination value for determining a common map is a determination value for determining a general map to be displayed in a fixed stop display on the general map display unit 55 using a random number for determining a general map when the result of the determination for a normal map is affirmative. Here, in the embodiment, an integer value of “0” to “100” corresponding to the above-described 100 types of random numbers for determining a general map is set as the determination value for determining a general map, A general map is individually associated with each of the determination values for determining a general map.

The effect pattern is associated with the special figure fluctuation pattern, and the overall control CPU 65a determines the corresponding effect pattern based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. The effect pattern is not associated with the special figure variation pattern in a one-to-one relationship, and a plurality of effect patterns are associated with one special figure variation pattern. Further, in the effect pattern, the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c is determined in the symbol variation effect, and the decorative drawing is stopped in each column according to the stop timing determined by the effect pattern. At the same time, an appropriate sound effect is output from the speaker 19 in accordance with the stoppage of the decoration drawing, or the lamp device 18 emits light appropriately.

  The overall control ROM 65b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73. When the overall control CPU 65a receives various control commands, the overall control CPU 65a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

(Display control board 70)
Next, the display control board 70 will be described with reference to FIG. The display control board 70 is provided with a display control CPU 70a. A display control ROM 70b and a display control RAM 70c are connected to the display control CPU 70a.

The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, a hit determination means for determining whether to win (whether a win game is generated) triggered by winning at the fixed start port 31 or the first or second variable start port 102, 103, a plurality of types of hit games (special Each function as a per game determination means for determining a per game to be given from (game per figure) and a per game giving means for giving the determined per game after the end of the special figure variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect). The main control CPU 60a is provided. Further, the main control CPU 60a has a probability that a game per special figure occurs (probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) when a special figure hit occurs (when the hit determination is a positive determination result). It is configured to function as a probability change giving determination means capable of giving a probability change state having a higher probability than usual.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a has a high probability that a pachinko ball enters the entrance (operation port 101) when a game per special figure occurs (when the judgment result of the hit judging means is affirmative). It functions as an easy-to-enter state grant determining means that can provide a variable state (easy to enter), and as an grant period determining means to determine a period for imparting the short-range state when giving an easy-to-enter state At the same time, it also functions as a variable state providing means for applying the variable state for the determined applying period. As described above, the main control CPU 60a gives a privilege state (probability change state or short change state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning in the start winning portion when the hit determination is a positive determination result. It has a function as privilege state determination means for determining whether or not to do. In other words, the main control CPU 60a determines that the bonus game state (first privilege) is advantageous to the player when the determination of the special figure determination (win determination) is a determination result (win determination result) that can operate the condition device. The game state or the second privilege game state) is configured to function as a privilege game state granting means that can be granted. The main control RAM 60c includes a first holding storage means for storing a pachinko ball won in the fixed start port 31 or the first variable start port 102 as a first start hold ball and a pachinko won in the second variable start port 103. It functions as a second holding storage means for storing the ball as a second starting holding ball.

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the fixed start port 31 or the first variable start port 102 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the detection sensors 75 and 77 corresponding to the fixed start port 31 or the first variable start port 102 detect a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (value of random number for determination per special figure, value of random number for determination of special figure, value of random number for determination of performance execution, value of various random numbers such as random number for determination of special figure variation pattern). The main control CPU 60a reads and sets the winning information (random number value) as the first special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won the second variable start port 103. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second variable start detection sensor 78 corresponding to the second variable start port 103 detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). When the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (random number for special figure determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, and various random values such as random number for determining special figure variation pattern). The main control CPU 60a reads out and sets the winning information (random number value) as second special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is terminated.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a displays whether the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure display units 50A and 50B and the symbol display device 17, or is playing a game per special figure (that is, ending time ED). It is determined whether or not (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14) and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a obtains the figure start hold information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, random values for determination of special figures, random values for determination of performance execution, and random numbers for determination of special figure variation pattern). (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the second special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores the second special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area. 2. The special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special figure. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure hold display section 53 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A special figure determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored special figure determination value (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result per special figure is affirmative in the non-probable change state (low probability) is positive in the probability change state (high probability). It is set to be lower than the probability. If the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 is affirmative (when a game per special figure is generated), “1” is set to the special figure flag indicating the fluctuation per special figure. Is set (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (special symbol 2), which becomes the symbol per special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B, based on the acquired special symbol determining random number value (see FIG. 2). Step B24). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the symbol per special figure is determined. When the symbol per special figure (special figure) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns per special figure based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern determination. Determine (step B25).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 is negative (when no game per special figure is generated), the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to execute the reach effect. (Reach determination) is performed (step B26). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result of step B26 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display unit 50B to display the final symbol (special stop symbol) that is confirmed and stopped. 2) (step B27). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B28). Note that the reach effect is not limited to an effect in which two identical decorative drawings are arranged and the remaining one is changing, and includes a state in which a specific symbol change is performed.

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in Step B26 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B29). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment (outlier fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B30).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B28, and B30, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B31). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display unit 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display contents of the display unit 50B are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for determining the special figure, the value of the random number for determining the special figure, the value of the random number for determining the performance execution, and the value of the random number for determining the special figure variation pattern (step B19). A hit determination process is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second variable start port 103 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the fixed start port 31 or Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the first variable start port 102 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferential. To be executed.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a reads the first special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a reads the random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then reads the second special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored second fastest is stored. One special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special feature. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 10, the main control CPU 60a determines the value of the acquired special figure determination random number per special figure stored in the main control ROM 60b. Is determined (a lottery) for determining whether or not it matches (step B32). As described above, the probability that the determination result per special figure is affirmative in the non-probable change state (low probability) is positive in the probability change state (high probability). It is set to be lower than the probability. If the determination result per special figure in step B32 is affirmative (when a game per special figure occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is per special figure. (Step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step B34). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. The jackpot symbol is determined by determining. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag (that is, a probability change flag, a variable flag) indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. . When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation pattern for the special figure based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number. (Step B35).

  When the determination result of the special figure determination in step B32 is negative (when a game per special figure is not generated), the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to execute the reach effect. (Reach determination) is performed (step B36). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B36 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display unit 50A as a final stop symbol (special feature). 1) is determined (step B37). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B38).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B36 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special diagram 1) (step B39). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment (outlier fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B40).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B35, B38, and B40, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B41). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display unit 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the designated special figure variation pattern. The display content of the display unit 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. When the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines a decoration to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. . That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a symbol per special symbol, the overall control CPU 65a displays the decorative symbol so that it becomes a symbol combination of the decorative symbols displayed per special symbol. It is determined.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the decoration designated by the decoration designating command when the symbol stop command is input from the overall control CPU 65a, and the decoration design designation is performed when all the design stop commands are input. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled so that the decorative symbol instructed by the command is displayed on the symbol display device 17 to be confirmed and stopped, and the symbol variation effect is ended.

  Here, the contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 are set according to a special symbol variation pattern designation command output from the main control CPU 60a or an effect pattern designation command output from the overall control CPU 65a. Based on the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a and the general control CPU 65a determine the contents of the effect specifying the contents of the symbol variation effect to be performed by the symbol display device 17. It has a function as a symbol variation effect determining means.

(When a game per special figure is granted)
Control related to the game per special figure will be described. When the determination result of the special figure determination is a determination result capable of operating the condition device (that is, when the determination per special figure is the determination result per special figure), the main control CPU 60a After the display (symbol variation effect) is finished, the control of the game per special figure for continuously operating the special winning portion 40 is started. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, when the judgment per special figure is a judgment result that is per special figure, the special figure fluctuation display performed in the special figure display units 50A and 50B is performed as a result. The special symbol per unit display (design per special symbol) that can recognize the per symbol is stopped and displayed, so that the accessory continuous operation flag is set to the first state and the condition device is operated internally. In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special symbol per flag is set to “1” after the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) ends, and the special symbol per flag is set to “1”. In this case, the accessory continuous operation flag is set like the first state, and the condition device is operated internally. If the judgment per special figure is a judgment result based on the special figure, the game process per special figure is terminated and the next special figure starting process is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the condition device is operated internally, the round counter provided in the main control RAM 60b is initialized and the winning ball counter provided in the main control RAM 60b is cleared (“ Set to “0”). Then, by operating the condition device, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and the operation of the special winning portion 40 as the special electric accessory is allowed. Here, the accessory continuous operation device is operated at the same time when the condition device is operated or at a later timing than the operation of the condition device. Specifically, the accessory continuous operation flag can be set to the first state, so that the accessory continuous operation device can be operated together with the condition device. Here, the term “simultaneously” does not mean that the timings are exactly the same, but it is natural that a time lag occurring in the execution of the control program is allowed, and a predetermined period (4 ms in the embodiment). In the control cycle of the main control CPU 60a executed in (1), it is allowed that there is a deviation of several cycles. In addition, the case where the accessory continuous operation device is operated at the timing when the round counter is initialized and the winning ball number counter is cleared after the condition device is operated is also included. Here, the round counter counts the number of round games R executed when a game per special figure is performed, and is used on condition that the value of the round counter reaches a specified number of rounds. The product continuous operation device is stopped, the operation of the special winning portion 40 is restricted, and the special winning opening 41 is held in a closed state. Specifically, at the same time that the value of the round counter reaches the specified number of rounds, the accessory continuous operation device is configured to stop. That is, at the same time that the final opening operation of the special prize winning unit 40 as the special electric accessory stops, the accessory continuous operation device ends the operation.

  The winning ball counter counts the pachinko balls won in the special winning opening 41 in each round game R of the game per special figure, and the round game time determined for each round game R elapses. When the value of the winning ball counter reaches the specified number determined for each round game R before, one round game R ends. The winning ball counter is cleared (set to “0”) before each round game R starts. Note that the main control CPU 60 a updates the winning ball counter every time a pachinko ball detection signal is input from the special winning detection sensor 44.

  When the main control CPU 60a finishes the special figure variation display and the condition device is activated and the accessory continuous operation device is activated, the timer means (not shown) has a predetermined opening corresponding to the type of game per special figure. The time OP is counted, and the special winning solenoid 42 is driven and controlled so as to hold the opening / closing member 43 in the standby state until the opening time OP elapses (see FIG. 13). Then, after the opening time OP has elapsed, a prescribed number of round games R are started. That is, in the embodiment, in the case of the games per the first to fourth special charts, the first round game R is started after the opening time OP of 10 seconds elapses, and the fifth or sixth special charts are played. In the case of a game, the first round game R is started after the opening time OP of 0.004 seconds has elapsed.

  In the round game R in the first round, the timer means measures the round game time (25 seconds or 0.04 seconds) according to the type of game per special figure, and opens and closes according to the type of game per special figure. The special winning solenoid 42 is driven and controlled by the main control CPU 60a so that the opening / closing member 43 is opened and closed by the operation to open the special winning opening 41. That is, in the embodiment, the opening / closing member 43 is displaced to the open state until the round end condition (the round game time has elapsed or the count of the winning ball counter (the number of winning balls) reaches the prescribed number) is reached, and the special winning opening The special prize solenoid 42 is driven and controlled to open 41, and when the round end condition is satisfied, the opening / closing member 43 is displaced to the closed state, and the first round game R is ended. As a result, a specified number of winnings can be made in the first to fourth special games in which the round game time is set to 25 seconds, and the fifth or sixth game in which the round game time is set to 0.04 seconds. In the game per special figure, the first round game R ends with almost no winnings. When the round game R of the first round is completed, the special winning solenoid 42 is driven and controlled so as to hold the opening / closing member 43 in a closed state until the interval time between rounds (2.0 seconds) elapses. After the elapse of time, the second round game R is started.

  From the second round onwards, as with the first round, the timer means measures the round game time (25 seconds or 0.04 seconds) of each round according to the type of game per special figure, and the game per special figure The special winning opening 41 is opened by opening and closing the opening and closing member 43 by an operation determined according to the type of the opening, and when the round end condition is satisfied, the opening and closing member 43 is displaced to the closed state to open the special winning opening 41. The closing operation is repeated up to a prescribed number of rounds (16 rounds in the embodiment) with an interval time between rounds between each round game R.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the operation of the special winning portion 40 in the game per special figure is stopped (the round game R of the specified number of rounds), the combination of the bonuses is stopped simultaneously with the operation of the special winning portion 40 being stopped. The operation of the actuator is stopped. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the feature continuous operation flag is set to the second state simultaneously with the operation stop of the final winning portion 40 (round game of the 16th round) of the special winning portion 40 in the game per special figure. The main control CPU 60a stops the operation of the condition device simultaneously with the operation stop of the accessory continuous operation device. When the round game R of the specified number of games per special figure is completed, the timer means measures the ending time ED determined according to the type of game per special figure, and opens and closes until the ending time ED has elapsed. The special winning solenoid 42 is driven and controlled so as to hold the member 43 in the closed state, and the game per special figure ends with the passage of the time.

  Also, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the final round game R (the final operation of the special prize winning unit 40) that becomes the specified number of rounds of games per special figure (the 16th round in the embodiment) is completed, and the bonus When the continuous operation device stops operating, the main control CPU 60a is configured to give a privilege game state from the ending time ED in the game per special figure (that is, at the end of the game per special figure). That is, when the first to fifth special games are awarded based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the fixed start port 31, the first variable start port 102 or the second variable start port 103, each special view When the round game R of the specified number of rounds of winning game (16th round in the embodiment) is completed and the accessory continuous operation device stops operating, an abbreviated state is given as a special gaming state. During the ending time ED in the game, it becomes a variable state. As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is provided with a variable state during the ending time ED when a game is given per special figure. By making the determination, the winning frequency of the pachinko balls to the operation port 101 can be increased. Further, when a game per first special figure or a game per second special figure is awarded based on the winning of a pachinko ball to the fixed start port 31 or the first variable start port 102, and the second variable start port 103 If any of the 4th or 5th special figure games awarded based on the winning of a pachinko ball is awarded, the specified number of rounds of the game per each special figure (16th round in the embodiment) When the round game R is finished and the continuous action device is stopped, the main control CPU 60a is configured to give a promising state as a bonus game state, and the ending time ED in the game per special figure is performed. It is configured to be in a probable state from the moment it is broken.

  That is, in the embodiment, when any one of the first, second, fourth, and fifth special drawings is given, the probable change state and the short change state are accompanied by the operation stop of the accessory continuous operation device. When any of the games per 3rd special figure is given, the variable state is given along with the operation stop of the accessory continuous operation device, while the 6th special figure is given. When one of the winning games is awarded, both the probability variation state and the variation state are not imparted in accordance with the operation stop of the accessory continuous operation device.

  In addition, in the case where a variable state is given in conjunction with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device, the opening / closing operation pattern determined by the game per special figure when winning in each variable state in the variable state. Based on P1 to P3, the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is operated. In other words, if the operation of the continuous accessory operating device is stopped due to the game being granted per first special figure, the winning combination can be won after the stop of the continuous operating device. In addition, when the operation opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is operated in the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 and any one of the games per the second to fifth special figures is given, When the operation of the variable action ball entry unit 130 is elected after the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device, the operation opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance part 130 operates in the second opening / closing operation pattern P2. It is configured to be. In addition, when the operation of the continuous accessory operating device is stopped due to the game being granted per sixth special figure, the winning combination may be won after the stop of the continuous operating device of the accessory. The operation opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is operated in the third opening / closing operation pattern P3. In addition, after the symbol variation effect (special diagram variation display) is performed ten times after the game per third special diagram, the operation port opening / closing member 131 is operated in the third opening / closing operation pattern P3.

(Bonus game state grant start timing)
Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when a privilege game state (probability change state or variable state) is given, a privilege game state is given according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a. The application start timing is different. That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a special per game game in which a special game state is given simultaneously with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts), and the accessory continuous operation device. The special game per special game state to which the privilege game state is given after the operation is stopped (after the ending time ED starts) and before the ending time ED elapses is set.

  Here, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment gives a bonus game state (probability change state and change state) at the end of the game per special figure (after the start of the ending time ED and before the ending time ED has elapsed). A storage area where the main control CPU 60a can set a game state setting flag indicating whether or not to perform is set in the main control RAM 60c, and the game state setting flag of the main control RAM 60c is set to a specific state, The main control CPU 60a is configured to start giving a privilege gaming state (probability changing state and changing state). Specifically, a probability variation state setting flag indicating whether or not a probability variation state is to be granted as a privilege gaming state, and a variation state setting flag indicating whether or not a privilege variation state is to be imparted as a privilege gaming state are individually set. A possible storage area is provided in the main control RAM 60c. When the probability variation state setting flag is set to a specific state (on), the probability variation state is given, and the variable state setting flag is set to a specific state (on). By being set, a variable state is provided. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment has a specific state (probability change state or short state) different from the game per special figure at the end of the special figure game (after the start of the standby time and before the standby time elapses). The game state setting means is capable of setting (state).

  Note that the probability variation state setting flag is configured so that the main control CPU 60a is set to a non-specific state (off) when the condition for shifting to the non-probability variation state is satisfied. Setting the state ends the assignment of the probability variation state (transition to the non-probability variation state). In the embodiment, the probability variation state setting flag is set to a non-specific state by occurrence of a special symbol occurrence (stop display of symbols per special symbol). The variable state setting flag is configured so that the main control CPU 60a sets a non-specific state (off) when the transition condition to the non-variable state is satisfied. Setting the non-specific state ends the provision of the variable state (transition to the non-variable state). In the embodiment, the period during which the variable state is given elapses (whether a predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) is executed) or a special symbol occurs (design symbol per symbol stop display) Thus, the variable state setting flag is set to a non-specific state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, when a game per first special figure is determined, a predetermined time (for example, 5 hours) after the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (after the start of the ending time ED) is determined. When the main control CPU 60a sets the gaming state setting flag (each of the probability variation state setting flag and the variation state setting flag) to a specific state (on) at the timing when a second has elapsed, the privilege gaming state (probability variation state and variation state). Status) is set to start. Further, when the game is determined per the second to fifth special drawings, the main control CPU 60a sets the game state at the same time (at the same time as the start of the ending time ED) when the operation of the accessory continuous operation device stops. By setting a flag (probability change state setting flag or change state setting flag) to a specific state (ON), provision of a privilege gaming state (probability change state or change state) is set to start. That is, when the operating port opening / closing member 131 is operated based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 in the variable speed state, there is a possibility that a game per special drawing based on winning of the pachinko ball to the second variable start port 103 may occur. When the game per 1st special figure to be increased is determined, the bonus game state (probability change state or change state) is quickly given by stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device. During the ending time ED, it is easy to generate a pachinko ball winning to the second variable start port 103.

(About bonus game status notification)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a special gaming state (in accordance with the end of the round game R of the specified round number of games per special figure (the 16th round in the embodiment) (the continuous action device is stopped). (Probable change state or short change state) is given, by operating the notification means 17, 18, 19 before the ending time ED of the game per special figure elapses, the bonus game is triggered by the game per special figure It is comprised so that it may alert | report that a state is provided. In other words, when the bonus game state (probability change state or change state) is given as the last action of the special prize winning unit 40 as a special electric accessory stops and the accessory continuous operation device stops. In addition, before the ending time ED of the game per special figure elapses, the provision of the privilege gaming state can be notified. Here, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is provided with a symbol display device 17, a speaker 18, and a lamp device 19 as the notification means, and a privilege is obtained by operating these devices 17, 18, 19 alone or in combination. Notification of the game state is provided. That is, in the embodiment, as described above, the privilege gaming state is given from the ending time ED in the game per special figure (that is, before the ending time ED has elapsed), and before the ending time ED ends. Is notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19 at the timing of the above, that the privilege gaming state has already been given at the time of the notification, that the privilege gaming state is given at the same time as the notification, or after the notification. The player can recognize that the bonus game state is given before the ending time ED elapses. In the following description, the notification regarding the provision of the privilege gaming state performed before the ending time ED elapses may be referred to as privilege gaming state notification.

(Regarding the determination of whether or not the bonus gaming status is notified)
In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60 a, an award of a special gaming state triggered by a game per special figure is notified (special gaming state notification The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine whether or not (execution) or no notification (non-execution of privilege gaming state notification). Here, the games per first to fifth special charts to which the special gaming state set in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is given are games per special figure that can be notified that the special gaming state is given. The sixth special game per special game that is set and is not given a special game state is set as a special game that does not notify that the special game state is given. Further, a part of the games per first to fifth special charts to which the privilege game state is given is a game per special chart that can notify that the special game state is given, and the first to fifth special games are provided. The remaining games per special figure may be divided into games per special figure that do not notify that the bonus game state is given. For example, a game per special figure that can be notified of games per second to fifth special figures may be used, and a game per special figure that is not notified of games per first special figure. In this way, when it is determined uniquely whether or not to grant the bonus game state depending on the type of game per special figure, whether the bonus game state is notified or not The type of game can be identified.

  Further, the overall control CPU 65a as the notification determining means is configured to determine whether or not the notification by the notification means can be executed according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a as the winning game determining means. ing. That is, the overall control CPU 65a of the embodiment functions as a notification determining unit that determines whether or not to report the provision of the privilege gaming state when the main control CPU 60a as the privilege gaming state provision unit grants the privilege gaming state. It is configured to Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, a game per predetermined special figure (in the embodiment, the first to third and fifth special figures) is executed by the main control CPU 60a among the first to fifth special figure games. When the game per special figure is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether to perform the privilege game state notification or not to perform the privilege game state notification. The general control CPU 65a is configured to determine that the bonus game state notification is performed when the main control CPU 60a determines a game per specific figure (a game per fourth special figure in the embodiment). . In addition, the rate at which the overall control CPU 65a determines that the bonus game state notification is performed is determined according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a. In the embodiment, when the game per first special figure is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines execution of the privilege gaming state notification with a probability of 5%, and controls when the game per second special figure is determined. The control CPU 65a determines the execution of the privilege gaming state notification with a probability of 80%, and when the game per third special figure is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the privilege gaming state notification with a probability of 40%, When the game per fifth special figure is determined, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the execution of the bonus game state notification with a probability of 30%. It should be noted that the rate at which the overall control CPU 65a determines that the bonus gaming state is to be notified is not limited to the above-described ratio.

  In the embodiment, a game per special figure (that is, a game per second to fifth special figures) that specifies that the operation port opening / closing member 131 is operated based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 in the variable state is the main control. When determined by the CPU 60a, a game per special figure (that is, a game per first special figure) that specifies that the operating port opening / closing member 131 is operated based on the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 in the variable state is determined. Compared with the case where it was made, it is comprised so that privilege game state alerting | reporting may become easy to be performed. Further, in the case of a game per special figure that specifies that the operating port opening / closing member 131 is operated based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 in the variable speed state, a prize ball that can be obtained along with the game per the special figure When the main control CPU 60a determines a game with a large number (a large profit) per special figure, the privilege gaming state notification is easily executed. Note that the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the privilege game state notification is executed or not, when the control signal for instructing the start of the game per special figure is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control CPU 65a. The general control CPU 65a obtains a random number from, and determines whether or not the value of the random number matches the execution determination value of the privilege gaming state notification predetermined for each type of game per special figure. it can.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, for the first to third or fifth special game per game, the random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a with the determination of the game per special game is a predetermined ratio ( 5%, 80%, 40%, or 30%), the number of execution decision values set for the bonus game state notification is determined, and for games per fourth special figure, the game per special figure is determined. Accordingly, the set number of execution determination values for the bonus gaming state notification is determined so that all the random values acquired by the overall control CPU 65a match. In addition, since the bonus game state (probability change state or variable state) is not given to the sixth special figure game, when the sixth special figure game is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the overall control CPU 65a. Determines the non-execution of the privilege gaming state notification. That is, for the game per sixth special figure, the set number of execution determination values for the bonus game state notification is “0”, and when the game per special figure is determined, the overall control CPU 65a The acquired random number value does not coincide with the execution determination value of the privilege gaming state notification.

(Regarding the timing of award gaming status notification)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, when it is decided to notify the grant of the privilege game state, the privilege game according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a. The notification timing for executing the state notification is configured to be different, and the overall control CPU 65a performs control so that the privilege gaming state notification is executed at the notification timing corresponding to the type of game per special figure. That is, interest for a game per special figure is increased by changing the notification timing for executing the bonus game state notification. As described above, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to function as a notification timing determination unit that determines the notification timing for executing the privilege gaming state notification when it is determined to notify the provision of the privilege gaming state.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, a game per special figure that can be notified of the bonus game state after the operation of the continuous accessory operating device (after the start of the ending time ED), At the same time when the actuator is deactivated (at the same time as the ending time ED starts) A game per special figure that can execute the notification of the privilege game state is set. More specifically, for the game per first special figure, a notification timing when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the operation of the accessory continuous operating device (after the start of the ending time ED), The notification timing is set at the same time as the operation stop of the product continuous operation device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts), and the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to execute the notification of the privilege gaming state at any notification timing. Yes. For the games per second and fourth special drawings, the notification timing before the stoppage of the accessory continuous operation device (before the start of the ending time ED) and the stoppage of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device ( The notification timing is set at the same time as the ending time ED starts, and the overall control CPU 65a can execute notification of the privilege gaming state at any of the notification timings. Also, for the games per third and fifth special charts, a notification timing is set at the same time as the stoppage of the continuous action device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts), and the overall control is performed at the notification timing. The CPU 65a is configured to be able to execute notification of the privilege gaming state.

  That is, when it is decided to notify the grant of the privilege gaming state in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a grants the privilege gaming state at the same time as the privilege gaming state grant start timing or at a timing before the grant start timing. It is comprised so that it may alert | report. Here, as the notification timing before the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (before the start of the ending time ED), if it is the timing after the conditional device is activated, it may be during the opening time OP or the round game R May be the timing of execution of the game, or during an interval between rounds between round games R. In the embodiment, in the case of a game per second special figure, it is configured to be able to execute the notification of the privilege game state at the same time as the start of the fifth round game in which the opening and closing member 43 is operated for a short time, In the case of the game per fourth special figure, the bonus game state can be notified simultaneously with the start of the final round game R (that is, the 16th round) of the game per special figure. Of course, the notification timing of the privilege gaming state is not limited to that described above.

  If the overall control CPU 65a decides to notify the provision of the privilege game state in a state where the game per game of the first, second or fourth special figure is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the privilege game state notification is made. The general control CPU 65a is configured to determine the notification timing for executing the above. In the embodiment, when a game per first special figure is determined, at a notification timing when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed after the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (after the start of the ending time ED). The overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the bonus game status notification with a probability of 70%, and also notifies the bonus game status notification at the notification timing simultaneously with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (simultaneously when the ending time ED starts). The overall control CPU 65a is determined to execute with a probability of 30%. That is, when notifying the provision of the privilege game state with the game per the first special figure, the privilege is given at the notification timing when a predetermined time has elapsed after the last round game R is ended (ending time ED is started). Game state notification is easy to be executed.

  In addition, when the game per second or fourth special figure is determined, the bonus game state notification is executed at the notification timing before the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (before the ending time ED is started). The overall control CPU 65a is determined with a probability of 50%, and the bonus game state notification is executed with a probability of 50% at the notification timing simultaneously with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts). The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine. That is, when the ending time ED starts when the game per second special figure is determined, the proportion (specifically 40%) that the special gaming state notification is executed at the same notification timing is the third special figure. When the winning game is determined, when the ending time ED starts, it is set to be equal to the ratio (specifically, 40%) at which the bonus game state notification is executed at the same notification timing.

  The notification timing is determined by the overall control CPU 65a when a control signal instructing the start of a game per special figure is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control CPU 65a. This can be done by determining whether or not the value of the random number matches the execution determination value of the notification timing predetermined for each type of game per special figure. Here, it is possible to change the ratio of the notification timing determined by the overall control CPU 65a by changing the number of notification timing execution determination values assigned for each notification timing that can be determined according to the game per special figure. is there.

(Regarding the state of award gaming status notification)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, when it is determined to notify the grant of the privilege game state, the notification means according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a. 17, 18, and 19 are configured to change the notification mode when the bonus game state is notified, and the overall control CPU 65 a performs the bonus game state notification in a notification mode according to the type of game per special figure. The notification means 17, 18, and 19 are controlled. In addition, when notifying the provision of the privilege game state, the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73 that control the symbol display device 17, the speaker 18, and the lamp device 19 as the notification means, respectively. When the overall control board 65 (overall control CPU 65a) outputs a control signal, the provision of the privilege gaming state can be notified at a predetermined timing and notification mode. That is, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to function as a notification mode determination unit that determines a notification mode for executing the privilege gaming state notification when it is determined to notify the grant of the privilege gaming state.

  In the overall control ROM 65b of the embodiment, when notifying the grant of the privilege gaming state, a plurality of types of notification patterns that determine the timing and operation contents for operating the devices 17, 18, 19 as the notification means are set. Yes. Then, the overall control CPU 65a determines one notification pattern from a plurality of notification patterns according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a, so that the notification mode according to the type of game per special diagram is obtained. The privilege game state notification can be executed. Here, the notification pattern specifies the display content to be displayed on the symbol display device 17, the sound output from the speaker 18, and the light emission mode (light emission color, lighting position, lighting on / off order, etc.) to be emitted from the lamp device 19. is there. That is, based on the notification pattern, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control signal to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73 according to the notification pattern when notifying the provision of the privilege gaming state. The provision of the privilege gaming state can be notified at a predetermined timing and notification mode. The display contents to be displayed on the symbol display device 17, the sound output from the speaker 18, and the light emission mode for causing the lamp device 19 to emit light do not have to be different for each notification pattern, and at least one of them is different for each notification pattern. Thus, the difference in the notification mode can be identified. In the embodiment, the privileged gaming state is given by changing the display contents to be displayed on the symbol display device 17, the sound output from the speaker 18, and the light emission mode for causing the lamp device 19 to emit light for each of a plurality of types of notification patterns. The notification mode to be notified is highlighted for each type of game per special figure.

  Here, in the overall control ROM 65b of the embodiment, the first notification pattern corresponding to the game per first special figure and the second notification pattern corresponding to the games per second, fourth and fifth special figures. And a third notification pattern corresponding to a game per third special figure is set. That is, when the first to fifth special games are determined and it is determined to notify the provision of the privilege game state, the first to third notifications are performed according to the determined special games. The overall control CPU 65a determines one of the patterns. In other words, when the notification means 17, 18, 19 are operated in the notification mode based on the first notification pattern, the player can identify whether the reward game state is given the probability variation state or the variation state, and Accordingly, the player can identify that the operation opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is operated in the first opening / closing operation pattern P1. In addition, when the notification means 17, 18, and 19 are operated in the notification mode based on the second notification pattern, the player can identify the provision of the probable change state and the variable state as the bonus game state, and Accordingly, the player can identify that the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is operated in the second opening / closing operation pattern P2. Then, when the notification means 17, 18, 19 are operated in a notification mode based on the third notification pattern, a predetermined number of times (specifically, ten times) symbol variation effects (first special diagram variation display and second The player can identify that the shortage state is given as the bonus game state only until the total number of special figure variation display) is executed, and the variable action ball entering portion 130 according to the usual figure. The operation port opening / closing member 131 is configured to be identified by the player to be operated in the second opening / closing operation pattern P2. As described above, the notification pattern of the embodiment not only gives the privilege gaming state but also notifies the opening / closing operation pattern of the operation port opening / closing member 131.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

  Winning of a special figure determination when the pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 (first ball flow path 21a) of the game board 20 wins the fixed start opening 31 of the fixed start winning portion 30, and the game Winning a special figure determination when the pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 (first ball flow path 21a) of the board 20 wins the first variable start opening 102 of the first variable start winning portion 161 Accordingly, any one of the first to third special games is determined by the main control CPU 60a, and the special game is executed by executing the special game (first to third special games). The number of times of change depending on the type of game per game) is given. Further, the judgment per special figure is triggered by the pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 (second ball flow path 21b) of the game board 20 winning the second variable start opening 103 of the second variable start winning portion 162. As a result of winning, the main control CPU 60a determines any of the 4th to 6th special game per game, and the game per special game (4th to 6th game) is performed. The number of times of change is changed according to the type of game per game. Then, according to the type of game per special figure, opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P1 for opening / closing the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable action ball entry portion 130 when the game is won per game in the game after the special figure game. P3 is determined. When a pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 (second ball flow path 21b) of the game board 20 passes through the gate portion 33, various random numbers as passage detection information are triggered by the detection of the pachinko ball by the gate sensor 76 as a main control. Obtained by the CPU 60a. Then, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to generate a base map based on the acquired base map determination random number, and according to the result of the base map change display, depending on the result of the base map determination. The normal map is displayed in a fixed stop display on the general map display section 55. In the case where the determination for the normal map is affirmative, the distribution body 151 of the passage distribution unit 150 is actuated, and based on the opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 determined in accordance with the winning of the game per special map The operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is opened / closed.

  Here, in the game after the game per the first special figure, the main control CPU 60a is driven and controlled so that the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation entrance portion 130 is opened / closed based on the first opening / closing operation pattern P1. Thus, the pachinko ball that has entered the working port 101 is distributed to the first branch path 145 by the sorting body 151 of the passage sorting unit 150. It should be noted that in the game after the game after the game of the third special figure has ended (after 10 symbol variation effects have been performed) and the game after the game of the sixth special figure, the variable state has been changed. Although not provided, it is difficult to open the operation port 101, but the main control CPU 60a controls the operation so that the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation ball entrance 130 is opened and closed based on the third opening / closing operation pattern P3. Similarly to the case of operating in the first opening / closing operation pattern P 1, the pachinko balls that have entered the operating port 101 are distributed to the first branch path 145 by the distributing body 151 of the passage distributing unit 150.

  The pachinko balls distributed to the first branch path 145 are guided to the first variable start winning portion 161 and come into contact with the first operating mechanism of the first variable start winning portion 161, so that the pachinko balls for the first operating mechanism are contacted. The first variable start port 102 is opened by displacing the first start port opening / closing member 165 from the closed position to the open position with the contact of the sphere. Then, the pachinko ball that has won the first variable start port 102 when the first variable start port 102 of the first variable start winning unit 161 is opened is the first take-in formed in the variable pitch device 100. In the process of passing through the passage 115, the pachinko ball comes into contact with the second operating mechanism of the first variable start winning portion 161 facing the first intake passage 115, and accordingly, the first start port opening / closing member 165 is opened. The first variable start port 102 is closed by displacing from the position to the closed position. Further, the pachinko ball winning the first variable start port 102 is detected by the first variable start detection sensor 77 in the process of being discharged through the first intake passage 115. That is, the first variable start winning portion 161 is actuated by physical contact with a pachinko ball that enters the operation port 101 and passes through the first branch path 145, whereby the first start port opening / closing member 165. Is displaced from the closed position to the open position, and is actuated by physical contact with the pachinko ball that wins the first variable start opening 102 and passes through the first take-in passage 115, thereby causing the first start opening / closing member 165 is displaced from the open position to the closed position.

  Further, in a game to which a shortened state after the game is given per second to fifth special drawings, the opening / closing member 131 of the variable opening portion 130 opens and closes based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2. Most of the pachinko balls that are driven and controlled by the main control CPU 60 a and enter the operating port 101 are distributed to the second branch path 146 by the distribution body 151 of the passage distribution unit 150. Then, the pachinko balls distributed to the second branch path 146 are guided to the second variable start winning portion 162, so that the second variable start winning portion 162 is similar to the first variable start winning portion 161 described above. The pachinko ball comes into contact with the first operating mechanism, the second start port opening / closing member 166 swings from the closed position to the open position, and the second variable start port 103 is opened. Then, the pachinko ball that has won the second variable start port 103 in accordance with the opening of the second variable start port 103 of the second variable start winning unit 162 is a second take-in formed in the variable pitch device 100. In the process of passing through the passage 116, the pachinko ball comes into contact with the second operating mechanism of the second variable start winning portion 162 facing the second intake passage 116, and accordingly, the second start port opening / closing member 166 is in the open position. The second variable start port 103 is closed by displacing from the position to the closed position. Further, the pachinko ball that has won the second variable start port 103 is detected by the second variable start detection sensor 78 while being discharged through the second intake passage 116. That is, the second variable start winning portion 162 is actuated by physical contact with a pachinko ball that enters the operation port 101 and passes through the second branch path 146, thereby causing the second start port opening / closing member 166. Is displaced from the closed position to the open position, and is actuated by physical contact with a pachinko ball that wins the second variable start port 103 and passes through the second intake passage 116, whereby the second start port opening / closing member 166 is displaced from the open position to the closed position.

  As described above, when hitting the normal drawing, the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 as the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable operation ball entry unit 130 is opened by driving the first solenoid 135 becomes the operation port. In the process of passing through the first branch path 145 or the second branch path 146 communicating with 101, the variable start is made by contacting the first operating mechanism of the variable start winning portion 161, 162 corresponding to each branch path. The open / close state of the start opening / closing members 165, 16 of the winning portions 161, 162 is switched from the closed state to the open state. When the first start port opening / closing member 165 and the second start port opening / closing member 166 are in the open position, by winning the first variable start port 102 and the second variable start port 103 where the pachinko balls are opened, By closing the start opening / closing members 165 and 166, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the variable actuation ball entering portion 130, the first variable start winning portion 161, and the second variable start winning portion 162. That is, in the state where the first start port opening / closing member 165 and the second start port opening / closing member 166 are in the closed position, when the pachinko ball enters the operation port 101 that is opened as usual, the operation port Since the first start port opening / closing member 165 and the second start port opening / closing member 166 can be opened according to the path to which the pachinko balls that have entered the ball 101 are distributed, It is possible to create new game play and enhance the fun of the game by the variable start winning prizes 161 and 162 that are operated in association with the opening / closing operation of the ball part 130.

  In addition, at least one of the branch paths is formed by branching the ball path communicating with the working port 101 that is opened according to the usual figure into a plurality of branch paths (that is, the first and second branch paths 145 and 146). By constructing the first starting mechanism of the variable start winning portion 161, 162 to face the game, it is possible to create a new game using the variable operation winning ball portion 130 and the variable start winning portion 161, 162 to enhance the game. It becomes possible to raise. Further, in the variable pitching device 100 of the embodiment, the first operating mechanism in the first variable start winning portion 161 faces the first branch path 145 and the second variable start winning portion 162 in the second variable start winning portion 162 is in the second branch path 146. Since the first operating mechanism is configured to face, the first starting port opening / closing member 165 is operated or the second starting port opening / closing member 166 is operated according to the branch path through which the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 passes. Can be. That is, the variable start winning portions 161 and 162 whose open / close state is switched according to the branch path through which the pachinko ball that has entered the operation port 101 passes change. In other words, in the conventional pachinko machine, the winning opening that is opened with the usual figure is fixed, whereas in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the winning opening that is opened with the usual figure is changed. Therefore, it is possible to create new playability by the variable operation ball entering unit 130 and the plurality of variable start winning units 161 and 162 (specifically, the first and second variable start winning units 161 and 162). It is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  In the variable state, the pachinko ball that has entered the operating port 101 is controlled by driving and controlling the variable operation ball entering portion 130 based on the first or second opening / closing operation patterns P1 and P2. Since the sorting body 151 of the passage sorting unit 150 can sort the pachinko balls so as to pass through a specific branching path (first or second branching path 145, 146) according to P2, it can be connected to the operation port 101. It is possible to switch the branch path through which the entered pachinko ball goes out under a predetermined condition. In the embodiment, the branch path through which the pachinko ball passes is determined by determining the opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P2 in which the variable operation ball entering section 130 is driven and controlled after the game per special figure according to the type of game per special figure. By being configured to be able to switch, it is possible to further increase the interest of the player with respect to the type of game per special figure that occurs, and to improve the interest of the game. In this manner, the opening / closing member 131 is moved in the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 (first opening operation mode) and the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 (first) according to the type of game per special figure to which the variable state is given. 2, the branching path through which the pachinko ball that has entered the working port 101 passes can be adjusted appropriately.

  In addition, the first and second branch paths 145 and 146 are provided with first and second passage detection sensors 85 and 86 for detecting pachinko balls passing through the corresponding branch paths. The main control CPU 60a can accurately identify the path through which the pachinko ball passes after entering the operation port 101 of the ball entrance 130. In addition, a ball entrance detection sensor 147 for detecting a pachinko ball is provided in the introduction passage 143 so that the variable actuation ball entrance portion 130 is distributed before being distributed to the first and second branch paths 145 and 146 by the sorting body 151. Since the pachinko ball that has entered the working port 101 is detected by the incoming ball detection sensor 147, the main control CPU 60a can accurately identify the entrance of the pachinko ball into the working port 101. In addition, due to the time difference between the detection by the upstream entrance detection sensor 147 and the detection by the downstream first or second passage detection sensors 85, 86, there is a problem such as a clogged pachinko ball entering the operation port 101. Can be discovered early.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the first variable start winning portion 161 and the second variable start winning portion 162 that are opened by the physical contact of the pachinko ball that has entered the operating port 101 with the first operating mechanism are used as an opportunity. By winning pachinko balls in the variable start ports 102 and 103, it is configured to be detected by the variable start detection sensors 77 and 78 that trigger the judgment per special figure, and by winning the judgment per special figure, Since the opening / closing member 43 of the special winning portion 40 is configured to open, the pachinko ball to the operation port 101 of the variable operation ball entering portion 130 that can win the pachinko ball to the variable start ports 102 and 103 can be obtained. The interest in the operation of the first variable start winning portion 161 and the second variable start winning portion 162 by the pachinko ball after entering the ball or the variable operation ball entering portion 130 can be increased, and the variable operation ball can be entered. It is possible to increase interest for games to create new game of utilizing 130 and a variable start winning part 161.

  In addition, in the opening time of the operation port opening / closing member 131 of the variable start winning portion 161, 162 that is opened by the winning of a pachinko ball to the fixed start port 31 (that is, the opening time of the operation port 101 according to the usual figure). In comparison, the opening time of the opening / closing member 43 of the special winning portion 40 that operates to open when the pachinko ball wins the first or second variable start opening 102 or 103 (that is, the special winning opening 41 associated with the game per special figure). The opening time of the starting opening / closing members 165 and 166 of the variable starting winning portions 161 and 162 is determined by the pachinko balls that have entered the variable operation entering portion 130. Can raise interest in being activated. In the embodiment, a game per the first to fourth special drawings (that is, at least one opening / closing member 43 is opened / closed) triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball to the first or second variable start opening 102, 103. Is determined such that the opening time of the opening / closing member 43 of the special winning portion 40 is increased, and an opportunity to acquire a large number of prize balls is given.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when a special game for operating the special winning unit 40 is given, the final operation of the special winning unit 40 ends (the end of the final round game R). At the same time or until the ending time ED elapses after the final operation of the special prize winning section 40 ends (in the embodiment, 5 seconds after the final operation ends) A variable state is given according to the type of game per special figure. As described above, the ending time ED is set such that the special winning portion 40 is not released after the final round game R of the specified number of rounds determined for each special figure is performed. By giving the privilege game state between the two, the interest of the game after the last round game R of the game per special figure has ended (the final operation of the special winning portion 40 has ended) can be increased. In other words, the special prize winning part 40 is given a privileged game state (probable change state or short change state) that is advantageous to the player without leaving a gap between the expectation that the pachinko ball will win the special winning part 40. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game without losing interest in the game even after the operation of 40 is finished. In addition, during the ending time ED, the bonus game state (probability change state and short change state) that is advantageous to the player is given during the ending time ED, thereby preventing the game from being delayed and increasing the game motivation. Can continue the game without interruption.

  In the embodiment, when a game is awarded per first, second, fourth, or fifth special figure, after the final operation of the special winning portion 40 is finished (after the accessory continuous operation device is activated). In addition, each of the probable change state and the change state is given as the bonus game state from the ending time ED. In other words, among the gaming states that can be granted in the pachinko machine 10, the gaming state (probable change state and short change state) that is most advantageous to the player is given during the ending time ED. Next, it is possible to direct the player's interest to the occurrence of a game per special figure, and to effectively reduce the interest in the game with the disappearance of the expectation that the pachinko ball will win the special winning part 40 Can be prevented. Here, when a game per first special figure is awarded, the bonus game state is surely changed after a predetermined time (5 seconds in the embodiment) has elapsed since the final operation of the special winning portion 40 is completed. Each of the state and the variable state is given. That is, in the first game per special figure, the provision of the special gaming state is started by taking time from the disappearance of the expectation that the pachinko ball will win to the special winning unit 40 until the special gaming state is given. It can increase the player's interest in what is being done. In addition, when a game per second, fourth or fifth special figure is awarded, the bonus game is performed at the same time as the special winning portion 40 is finished (simultaneously with the operation of the accessory continuous operation device). Each of the probability variation state and the variation state is given as the state. In other words, in the games per the second, fourth or fifth special chart, when the expectation that the pachinko ball wins the special prize winning portion 40 disappears (at the same time as the start of the ending time ED), The player's interest can be directed to the occurrence of the game.

  Here, in the embodiment, when any one of the games per the second to fifth special drawings is given, the operation opening of the variable operation entrance portion 130 based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 in the variable state. The opening / closing member 131 is configured to be operated, and the pachinko balls that have entered the operation port 101 in accordance with the opening operation of the operation port opening / closing member 131 are distributed to the second branch path 146, so that the second variable start port 103 is configured. It is comprised so that the ratio opened may become high. That is, a game per special figure based on the winning of a pachinko ball to the second variable start port 103 (that is, the fourth to sixth special figures) by giving any of the second to fifth special figures per game. There is a high possibility that a hit game will occur. As described above, when any one of the second to fifth special games is awarded, the special game based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the first variable start port 102 (that is, the first to third games). Since the game per special figure is more advantageous than (games per special figure) (specifically, the expectation of winning a large number of prize balls is high) It is possible to increase interest in the provision of the privilege gaming state (probability change state or change state) during the ending time ED.

  Further, in the embodiment, when each of the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the special figure hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information is performed. It is configured to be given priority. In other words, the special figure determination based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially performed, and the second special figure is compared with the case where a game per special figure is generated based on the first special figure start hold information. The profit (the number of award balls that can be obtained) given to the player is greater when the game is generated per special figure based on the start hold information. Accordingly, when any one of the first to fifth special figures is awarded, the variable state is given as the privilege gaming state from the ending time ED. Before the game ends (during the ending time ED), the opportunity to increase the number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is given, and the game will not be delayed during the ending time ED. It can be enhanced and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In particular, in the embodiment, when a game per third special figure is given, the ending time ED is set at the same time as the operation of the final winning portion 40 (at the same time as the operation of the accessory continuous operation device). Only a predetermined speed change state (10 times in the embodiment) is provided as a bonus game state from the beginning, and the operating port opening / closing member 131 is based on the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 in the power change state. It is configured to be activated. Therefore, when a game per 3rd special figure is given, by giving a privilege gaming state (shortening state) that can increase the winning expectation to the second variable starting port 103 from the ending time ED, The expectation that more pachinko balls can win the second variable start port 103 before the number of times of the change has elapsed can be enhanced.

  Further, in the embodiment, when a special game state is given with a game per special figure, the special game state is used by using the notification means 17, 18, 19 before the ending time ED in the special game is passed. Therefore, the player can be made aware of the provision of the bonus game state, and the interest of the game after the operation of the special winning portion 40 is completed can be enhanced. Furthermore, the control CPU 65a determines whether or not to notify the provision of the bonus game state using the notification means 17, 18, and 19 according to the type of game given per special figure. Can be increased. In addition, since the types of games per special figure can be narrowed down or estimated by the presence / absence of notification by the notification means 17, 18, and 19, the player's interest in games per special figure can be increased. For example, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when a game per special figure is generated based on the first special figure start hold information and the grant of the bonus game state is notified, the per special figure generated As a possibility of the game, it is possible to make the player notice that the game per second special figure, the game per third special figure, and the game per first special figure are higher in this order. In addition, when a special game is generated based on the second special chart start hold information and the provision of the privilege game state is not notified, the sixth special chart is given as a possibility of the generated special game per game. It is possible to make the player aware that the winning game is higher in the order of the game per hit and the game per fifth special figure.

  And, by combining the presence / absence of notification by the notification means 17, 18, 19 and the operation of the opening / closing member 43 in the special winning portion 40 in the game per special figure, it is possible to narrow down the types of games per special figure more precisely. Therefore, the player's interest in the presence / absence of notification by the notification means 17, 18, 19 and the operation of the special prize winning unit 40 can be further increased. For example, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when a game per special figure is generated based on the second special figure start hold information, when the special game state is notified, By the operation, it is possible to make the player notice whether the game per fourth special figure or the game per fifth special figure. On the other hand, when a game per special figure is generated based on the first special figure start hold information, the player determines which of the first to third special figures is a game by the operation of the special prize winning unit 40. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the player's interest in being notified of the provision of the privilege gaming state.

  Further, in the embodiment, when it is determined that the notification means 17, 18, 19 notifies the grant of the privilege gaming state, the notification timing by the notification means 17, 18, 19 can be changed. The game variation can be enhanced without uniformizing the timing at which the game state is notified. In addition, the round game R is performed because the grant of the bonus game state can be notified before the ending time ED starts the grant of the bonus game state (between the final round game R in the embodiment). It is possible to give a sense of expectation that a privilege gaming state is given from the middle. In addition, when it is determined that notification of the privilege gaming state is to be notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19, the notification means 17, 18, 19 notifies before the privilege gaming state is provided. Even though the privilege gaming state is given, there is no distrust caused by not being notified.

  Furthermore, since the notification means 17, 18, and 19 are notified at different timings according to the type of game per special figure, the notification means 17, 18, and 19 are notified of the provision of the bonus game state. Since it becomes possible to narrow down or guess the type of game per special figure given by the above, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the game per special figure. For example, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when a game per special figure is generated based on the first special figure start hold information, the second notification is made before the ending time ED is started. It is possible to make the player aware that the game is per special figure, and to inform the player that the game is per first special figure by notifying after the ending time ED has started. it can. Further, in the embodiment, the ratio at which any one of the first to third special chart games is determined based on the first special chart start hold information or the first to third special chart games are determined. From the relationship between the determination ratio of the notification timing and the ratio at which the notification of the grant of the bonus game state is executed when the game per the first to third special charts is determined, based on the first special chart start hold information. When a game per figure is generated, it is notified simultaneously with the start of the ending time ED, so that the game per second special figure or the third special figure is more likely than the possibility of being a game per first special figure. It is possible to make the player notice that there is a high possibility that the game is one of the games.

  Then, when a game per special figure is generated based on the second special figure start hold information, it is notified before the ending time ED starts, so that it is a game per fourth special figure. Can be noticed. In the embodiment, the rate at which the game per fourth special figure is determined, the rate at which the notification timing is determined when the game per fourth special figure is determined, and the game per fifth special figure are determined. From the relationship of the rate at which the bonus game state is notified, when a game per special figure is generated based on the second special figure start hold information, it is notified simultaneously with the start of the ending time ED, It is possible to make the player notice that there is a high possibility of being a game per fourth special figure and a game per fourth special figure as well as a game per fourth special figure.

  In addition, in the embodiment, when it is decided to notify the granting of the privilege gaming state by the notification means 17, 18, 19, the notification mode by the notification means 17, 18, 19 can be changed. It is possible to prevent the contents when the game state is notified from being uniformed, and to increase game variations. Furthermore, the notification pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a is made different depending on the type of game per special figure, and the notification mode notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19 is made different depending on the type of game per special figure. Therefore, it is possible to narrow down or guess the type of game per special figure given by the content notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19 so that the player's interest in the game per special figure can be increased. it can. For example, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the provision of the privilege game state is notified based on the first notification pattern, the player is made aware that the game is per first special figure. And when the grant of the bonus game state is notified based on the second notification pattern, the player is made aware that it is one of the games per second, fourth or fifth special figure. In addition, when the provision of the privilege game state is notified based on the third notification pattern, the player can be made aware that the game is per third special figure.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when it is determined that the giving of the privilege game state is notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19, the notification means 17, 18, 19, the notification timing at which the provision of the privilege gaming state is notified is made different, and the notification mode notified by the notification means 17, 18, 19 is made different so that the notification timing and the notification mode are integrated. It is possible to narrow down or guess the types of games per figure. That is, not only is the notification means 17, 18 and 19 simply notified of the provision of the bonus game state before the ending time ED has elapsed, but it also creates a game property for estimating the game per special figure from the notification timing and notification content. can do.

(Another embodiment)
Next, a pachinko machine according to another embodiment will be described. The configuration of the pachinko machine according to another embodiment is basically the same as that of the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, the timing at which the condition device is stopped when a game per special figure is given is different from the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when the operation of the final round (the round game R of the specified number of rounds) of the special winning portion 40 in the game per special figure is stopped, the above-described embodiment As with the pachinko machine according to the above, the operation of the continuous action device is stopped simultaneously with the operation of the special prize winning unit 40, and the timer means measures the ending time ED determined according to the type of game per special figure. To do. Then, the special winning solenoid 42 is driven and controlled so as to hold the opening / closing member 43 in the closed state until the ending time ED elapses, and the accessory continuous operation flag is set to the second state as the ending time ED elapses. The main control CPU 60a stops the operation of the condition device. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, the operation of the condition device is stopped when the ending time ED has elapsed, and the game per special figure is ended when the operation of the condition device ends. .

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, the main control CPU 60a gives the variable state simultaneously with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts), and the operation of the condition device is ended. The main control CPU 60a is configured to give a certain change state at the same time as (when the ending time ED elapses). That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, when a privilege gaming state (probability variation state or variation state) is given, the privilege gaming state is determined according to the type of game per special figure determined by the main control CPU 60a. While the start timing for granting a variable state is different, the start timing for giving a probable change state as a bonus game state is constant regardless of the type of game per special figure (simultaneous with the end of the operation of the condition device) The timing is configured as follows. In the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, the bonus game state (probability change state or In the case where (variable state) is granted, the provision of the variable state as the special gaming state can be notified before the ending time ED of the game per special figure elapses. In addition, since it is not different from the Example mentioned above regarding the provision notification of a privilege game state, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, when the special winning portion 40 is operated and the game per special figure is started, the special gaming state is simultaneously with the end of the final operation of the special winning portion 40. By giving (variable state), a special state is granted as a special gaming state from the ending time ED provided after the final operation of the special winning portion 40 in the game per special figure. can do. Thereby, like the pachinko machine 10 according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game after the operation of the special winning portion 40 is finished. In addition, by providing a privileged game state (variable state) during the ending time ED, it is possible to prevent the game from being delayed and to continue playing without interruption.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, after the operation of the special prize winning unit 40 is completed, the change state is given simultaneously with the stop of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (at the same time as the ending time ED starts). If the game per special figure is terminated due to the suspension of the condition device (simultaneously with the passage of the ending time ED), a more probable state is given according to the type of game per special figure. Is done. That is, since the gaming state can be changed in stages from the end of the operation of the special winning portion 40 until the ending time ED elapses (until the game per special figure is finished), the player's interest is gradually increased. There is an advantage that leads to enhancing the interest of the game. In addition, since the variable speed state is given first while the condition device is operating, and then the positively variable state is given, when the winning to the variable start port 103 occurs during the variable state, Therefore, it is possible to reliably perform determination per special figure under the probability variation state in response to the winning of the variable start port 103 in the variation state, and it is inconvenient even if the start timing of the variation state and the certain variation state is shifted. Will not occur.

(Example of change)
Note that the gaming machine is not limited to those described above, and various modifications can be made.
(1) In the embodiment, the probability variation state and the variable state are each given as the bonus game state from the end waiting time in the hit game (game per special figure). Only one of them may be given. Moreover, you may vary the provision start timing in which a probability variation state and a variation state are provided. In other words, for example, the change state (or probability change state) is given simultaneously with the start of the end wait time, and the probability change state (or change state) is given after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the end wait time. Also good. Here, when the probability changing state and the variable state are individually given, the start timing of giving the probability changing state and the variable state can be set for each type of winning game (game per special figure).
(2) In the embodiment, the timing (granting start timing) for granting the bonus game state is determined according to the type of the winning game (game per special figure), and may be different for each hit game (game per special figure). Although configured, it is also possible to vary the grant start timing of the bonus game state according to the game state at the time when the hit determination (determination per special figure) is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when a game per special figure of the same type (a game per first, second, or fourth special figure in FIG. 18) is determined, the time point of special figure determination (special This can be realized by setting the award game state giving start timing according to whether the gaming state at the time of giving a game per figure) is a probable change state or a non-probability change state. In FIG. 18, the provision start timing of the privilege game state is set according to whether or not the gaming state is in a probable change state, but the grant start timing is set depending on whether or not the gaming state is in a change state. Alternatively, the grant start timing can be set according to the gaming state in which the probability variation state / non-probability variation state and the variation state / non-variation state are combined. In other words, when a bonus game state is given, the bonus game state is given according to at least one of the game state at the time when the hit determination is performed and the determined type of the hit game (game per special figure) It is possible to make the start timing different.

(3) In the embodiment, when giving a bonus game state, the notification means notifies the timing according to the type of winning game (game per special figure), and varies for each winning game (game per special figure). Although it is configured to obtain, when the bonus game state is given according to the game state at the time when the hit determination (determination per special figure) is performed, the timing notified by the notification means can be made different. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the same type of game per special figure (in FIG. 19, the game per first, second or fourth special figure) is determined, This can be realized by setting a notification timing for notifying the provision of the privilege game state depending on whether the gaming state at the time of the determination of the giving of the game per figure is a probable change state or a non-probability change state. In FIG. 19, the notification timing is set according to whether or not the gaming state is in a probable change state, but the notification timing may be set depending on whether or not the gaming state is in a change state. It is also possible to set the notification timing according to the gaming state in which the probability variation state / non-probability variation state and the variation state / non-variation state are combined. In FIG. 19, the notification timing is uniquely determined according to the gaming state, but it is also possible to determine the notification timing from a plurality of notification timings according to the gaming state as in the embodiment. is there. In other words, when the bonus game state is given, the notification timing is made different depending on at least one of the game state at the time when the hit determination is performed and the type of the determined win game (game per special figure). It is possible to do so.
(4) In the embodiment, a notification mode (notification pattern) to be notified by the notification means when a privilege game state is given is determined according to the type of winning game (game per special figure), and the winning game (game per special figure) However, the notification means (notification pattern) to be notified by the notification means when a privilege gaming state is given according to the gaming state at the time when the hit determination (determination per special figure) is performed. You can also make them different. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when a game per special figure of the same type (in FIG. 19, a game per first special chart or a second special figure) is determined, the point of determination per special figure (game per special figure). This can be realized by setting a notification mode (notification pattern) for notifying the provision of the privilege gaming state according to whether the gaming state at the time of the determination of the giving is determined to be a probable change state or a non-probability change state. In FIG. 19, the notification mode (notification pattern) is set depending on whether or not the gaming state is a probability change state, but the notification mode (notification pattern) is determined depending on whether or not the gaming state is a variable state. May be set, and a notification mode (notification pattern) may be set according to a gaming state in which the probability variation state / non-probability variation state and the variation state / non-variation state are combined. That is, when a privilege game state is given, a notification mode (notification pattern) according to at least one of the game state at the time when the hit determination is performed and the type of the determined win game (game per special figure) ) Can be different.
(5) Here, in the embodiment, the notification mode (notification pattern) is uniquely determined according to the type of winning game, but there are a plurality of notification modes (notification patterns) that can be determined for each type of winning game. It is also possible to determine one notification mode (notification pattern) from a plurality of types that can be determined according to the winning game. Similarly, a notification mode (notification pattern) can be determined from a plurality of notification modes (notification patterns) according to the gaming state.
(6) In addition, although the example which sets the 1st-3rd alerting | reporting pattern as the alerting | reporting pattern which defined the alerting | reporting aspect which alert | reporting means alert | reports when providing a privilege game state was shown, it is not restricted to this. Only one type of notification pattern may be set, or two or more types of notification patterns may be set.

(7) In the embodiment, whether or not to give the bonus game state is notified by the notification means when the privilege game state is given (whether or not the notification can be executed) is determined according to the type of the hit game (game per special figure). Although it is configured so that it can be different for each winning game (game per special figure), notification is executed when a bonus gaming state is given according to the gaming state at the time when the hit determination (judgment per special figure) is performed It is also possible to vary the availability. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when a game per special figure of the same type (in FIG. 19, games per first to third special figures) is determined, the point of determination per special figure (game per special figure). This can be realized by setting the proportion of whether or not the notification can be executed depending on whether the gaming state at the time of the determination of the granting is determined to be a probable change state or a non-probability change state. In FIG. 19, the ratio of whether or not notification can be executed is set depending on whether or not the gaming state is in a probable change state. However, the ratio of whether or not notification can be executed depending on whether or not the gaming state is in a variable state. It is also possible to set the ratio of whether or not notification can be executed according to the gaming state in which the probability variation state / non-probability variation state and the variation state / non-variation state are combined. In addition, it is set so that notification availability is uniquely determined according to the gaming state and the type of game per special figure without changing the proportion of notification execution possibility according to the game state and the type of game per special figure. May be. In other words, when a bonus game state is given, whether or not notification can be performed is determined according to at least one of the game state at the time when the hit determination is performed and the type of the determined win game (game per special figure). It is possible to decide.
(8) Further, in the embodiment, it is configured so that the provision of the special gaming state can be notified before the special gaming state is provided, but the configuration in which the provision of the special gaming state is notified after the special gaming state is provided. May be.

(9) A first opening / closing member that is displaceable in accordance with driving of the electric drive means to a closed position for closing the first entrance for the game area and an open position for opening the first entrance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is configured to include two or more first variable ball entering portions. Also good.
(10) Second opening / closing that is mechanically displaceable in accordance with the contact of the game ball in a closed position for closing the second entrance to the game area and an open position for opening the second entrance Although the configuration including two variable start winning portions as the second variable pitching portion having a member has been shown, the present invention is not limited thereto, and one or three or more second variable pitching portions are provided. It may be.
(11) As the second variable entry portion, an example is shown in which the entry to the second entry port is used as a variable start winning portion where the start condition for special figure fluctuation display and the payout condition for prize balls are used. However, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured such that only the start condition of the special figure variation display is satisfied by entering the second entrance, or only the winning ball payout condition is satisfied. Further, the start condition for the normal map display may be satisfied by entering the second entrance.
(12) The second opening / closing member in the second variable entry portion is opened in accordance with the contact with the game ball entered into the first entrance (operating entrance) opened by driving the electric drive means. Although configured as described above, the second opening / closing member may be configured to be closed in accordance with contact with the game ball.
(13) In the embodiment, as a distribution unit that distributes the game balls that have entered the first entrance to one of the branch paths, a passage distribution unit that operates the distribution body by driving the electric drive unit is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the ball is naturally distributed to any one of the branch passages depending on the momentum and the rolling direction of the game ball rolling on the ball rolling portion. For example, a ball rolling part called a so-called crune that has a plurality of through holes formed on the bottom surface of a ball rolling part formed in a mortar shape is used as a distributing means, or extends in a certain direction and extends in the direction It is also possible to employ a so-called stage-shaped ball rolling portion provided with ball discharge portions at a plurality of locations spaced apart from each other as a distribution means, and other conventionally known vibrations that can distribute the flow direction of a game ball into a plurality of directions. Minute means can be employed.
(14) In the embodiment, a privilege (specifically, a game per special figure) that can be given when a game ball enters a plurality of second variable pitching portions (first and second variable start winning portions). It is also possible to give the same privilege when a game ball enters a plurality of second variable entry parts.

(15) In the embodiment, the variable pitching unit including the first variable pitching portion and the second variable pitching portion is arranged on the game board. You may make it arrange | position two variable pitching parts separately in a game board. In addition to the first and second variable pitching portions, a closed position for closing the third ball entrance (special prize opening) with respect to the game area and the third ball entrance are opened. A third variable pitching portion (special winning portion) having a third opening / closing member that can be displaced to the open position is provided in the variable pitching unit, and a game ball flowing down the game area can pass through. A fourth ball entrance (gate portion) may be provided in the variable ball entry unit.
(16) In the embodiment, the configuration in which one second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) is provided with respect to the second variable pitching portion (variable starting winning portion) is shown. Two may be provided. Specifically, the second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) of the embodiment is formed symmetrically, and the right / left second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) is placed on the right side of the second operating member. The right second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) is set to the closed position using the closing holding portion and the closing operation portion on the right end side provided in the second operation member. It can be easily realized by holding or displacing from the open position to the closed position. The opening / closing operation of the second opening / closing member on the right side (starting port opening / closing member) is the same as the opening / closing operation of the second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) on the left side, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.
(17) In the embodiment, as the first variable ball entry portion, the variable ball entry portion in which the first opening / closing member (working port opening / closing member) is moved in the front-rear direction is adopted, but the second variable ball entry portion is used. The first opening / closing member swings in the left-right direction, like the second opening / closing member (start-up opening / closing member) provided on the third door, or the third opening / closing at the third variable entry portion (special winning portion). Of course, the first opening / closing member may swing in the front-rear direction as a member (opening / closing door). Similarly, although the second opening / closing member (starting port opening / closing member) swings in the left-right direction as the second variable entry portion, the variable entry portion is provided. Like the first opening / closing member (operating port opening / closing member), the second opening / closing member moves in the front-rear direction, or the third opening / closing member (opening / closing door) in the third variable ball-entry portion (special winning portion). As a matter of course, the second opening / closing member may swing in the front-rear direction as shown in FIG.

(18) In the embodiment, the case where the first to third opening / closing operation patterns P1 to P3 are set as the opening operation mode of the first opening / closing member (working port opening / closing member) in the first variable entry portion has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a first opening operation mode in which the sorting means (sorting body) is displaced to the opening position with at least the first sorting position, and the sorting means (sorting body). ) At least in the second distribution position, it may be configured to be driven by the electric drive means so as to operate in the second opening operation mode that is displaced to the opening position. The electric drive means is not limited to the solenoid, and it is obvious that various other known drive means such as a motor can be adopted. Here, as the first opening operation mode, the game ball that has entered the first entrance (operating port) is distributed to a specific branch passage (second branch inflow passage in the embodiment). This is an opening operation mode in which the ratio of distribution to other branch passages (first branch inflow passage in the embodiment) is higher. As the second opening operation mode, the first entrance (operating port) is used. The proportion of game balls that have entered the ball is distributed to a specific branch passage (second branch inflow passage in the embodiment) than the proportion that is distributed to other branch passages (first branch inflow passage in the embodiment). As long as the opening operation mode becomes higher. For example, in the embodiment, the first sorting time TZ1 is set so that the sorting body 151 of the passage sorting unit 150 as the sorting means is displaced from the first sorting position to the second sorting position, and the first sorting time TZ1 is set. When the first opening / closing member (working port opening / closing member 131) is opened / closed in the first opening / closing operation pattern P1 or the third opening / closing operation pattern P3 as the opening operation mode, the distribution body 151 is moved to the second distribution state. The first opening / closing member (operating port opening / closing member 131) is displaced to the open position even in the position, but the first opening / closing member (operating port) is omitted by omitting the operation of the first distribution time TZ1. While the opening / closing member 131) is displaced to the open position, the sorting body 151 may be continuously located at the first sorting position. Similarly, the second opening is performed so that the first opening / closing member (working port opening / closing member 131) performs the opening operation for the second operation port opening time TB1 set at the same time as the first distribution time TZ1. Although the second opening / closing operation pattern P2 is set as the operation mode, the operation of the second working port opening time TB1 can be omitted.
(19) The total opening time of the first opening / closing member (working port opening / closing member 131) opened / closed in the first opening operation mode and the first opening / closing member opened / closed in the second opening operation mode ( The total opening time of the working port opening / closing member 131) can be set to the same time. In this case, it is possible to equalize the opportunities for the game balls to enter the first entrance (operation port 101) associated with the opening operation of the first opening / closing member (operation opening / closing member 131). For example, in the embodiment, it can be realized by “(first working port opening time TA1) = (second working port opening time TB1) + (fourth working port opening time TB4) × 3”. is there.

(20) In the embodiment, the number of specified rounds in the first to sixth jackpot games is set to the same number (that is, 16 rounds), and the opening / closing operation of the doors for each jackpot game is made different to each jackpot game. The number of winning balls that can be acquired is changed, but this is not limited to this, and the number of winning balls that can be acquired with jackpot game is changed by changing the number of specified rounds in jackpot game. You may do it. For example, in the embodiment, the prescribed number of rounds in the first to third jackpot games may be set to “4 times”. In this case, by providing a round notification lamp that notifies the specified number of rounds of the winning big hit game, it is possible to notify the player of the number of round games to be performed with the big hit game. On the other hand, as in the embodiment, by setting the specified number of rounds in the jackpot game to the same number of times, even if the specified number of rounds of the won jackpot game is notified by the round notification lamp, it can be acquired along with the jackpot game The number of prize balls can be concealed.
(21) In the variable pitching device of the embodiment, the variable start winning portion located on the upper side is the first variable start winning portion, and the variable start winning portion located on the lower side is the second variable start winning portion. It is not limited to this. That is, in the variable pitching device of the embodiment, the variable start winning portion located on the lower side is the first variable start winning portion, and the variable start winning portion located on the upper side is the second variable start winning portion. Fixed start when the determination result of the jackpot determination based on the winning information acquired when the game ball enters the variable start port corresponding to the start winning section and the corresponding ball detection sensor detects is a positive determination The jackpot symbol of the same kind as the case where the determination result of the jackpot determination based on the winning of the game ball to the mouth is affirmative determination (first to third jackpot games in the embodiment) can be determined, and the first variable start winning If the determination result of the jackpot determination based on the winning information acquired when the game ball enters the variable start port corresponding to the section and the corresponding ball detection sensor detects is a positive determination, a different type Jackpot symbol (Example) It may be configured to allow determining the fourth to sixth jackpot gaming in). In this case, after the end of the first jackpot game, the operating port opening / closing member 131 of the variable action ball entry portion is set to operate according to the second opening / closing operation pattern P2, and after the second to fifth jackpot games are ended. By setting the operation opening / closing member of the variable actuation ball entry portion to operate according to the first opening / closing operation pattern P1, the same path as in the embodiment with respect to the first variable start entry ball portion and the second variable start entry ball portion. Distribution is possible.

(22) All or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided by the sub-control means (overall control CPU). Conversely, all or part of the functions of the sub-control means is provided. The main control means may be provided. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (overall control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used.
