Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of executing a hit game in the case of a hit determination based on the establishment of a start condition.

  Pachinko machines, which are typical gaming machines, have a starting prize opening (starting prize winning section) and symbols that can be used for pachinko balls on a game board where game areas where pachinko balls (game balls) can flow down are defined. A symbol display device (display means) such as a liquid crystal type or a drum type that displays a variation is provided, and the symbol of the symbol display device is triggered by the pachinko ball flowing down the game area winning the starting prize opening. It is configured to start fluctuation (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a pachinko machine, by winning a jackpot determination that is triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball at the start winning opening, a predetermined jackpot display (for example, a triple of the same pattern, etc.) is displayed on the symbol display device. As a result, a jackpot game advantageous to the player is awarded. In such a jackpot game, the opening and closing member of the special prize device that closes the special prize opening so as to be opened and closed is opened and closed with an appropriate opening and closing pattern to give a chance to win a pachinko ball to the special prize opening. You can get a prize ball.

  In the pachinko machine described above, there are multiple types of start winning holes in the game area, and regarding the pattern fluctuation triggered by the pachinko ball winning in the starting prize opening, the pattern changes in the order of winning regardless of the type of the starting winning opening. Execution of sequential variation type, priority variation type that gives priority to symbol variation triggered by winning a pachinko ball to a specific starting prize opening, or symbol variation triggered by winning a pachinko ball to one starting prize opening In particular, a variation type that can perform symbol variation in parallel with the winning of a pachinko ball in the other start winning opening has been proposed. In the following description, performing one symbol variation in parallel while one symbol variation is being performed may be referred to as simultaneous symbol variation or simultaneous variation.

In addition, as a decoration drawing, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each decoration drawing like arbitrary numbers, a character, a design, etc. Further, the decoration diagram may be given a first identification pattern that allows the player to definitely recognize that a probable change state (described later) is given after the big hit game is finished, and a probable change state after the big hit game is finished. Is classified into a second identification symbol that can be recognized indefinitely. In this embodiment, the probability variation state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as a 1st identification design, even if it sets suitably from the basic decoration drawings, the special decoration drawing determined in addition to the basic decoration drawings can also be used. In the embodiment, “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” odd-numbered symbols are used as the first identifying symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “6” ”And“ 8 ”will be described as an example in which the even symbol is the second identification symbol.

  Then, each symbol row that is confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions 27 and 44 (stop symbol effective line) of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c in the first or second display device 17, 43. When the decorations of 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, and 44c are jackpot symbol combinations, it is possible to grasp that the jackpot game is given. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is fixed and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of each symbol row is set as the jackpot symbol combination. ing. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize the jackpot becomes a jackpot display displayed on the first or second display device 17, 43, and a jackpot game advantageous to the player is given after the symbol variation effect is completed. In addition, in the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decorative drawing that is variably displayed on the first or second display device 17 or 43, it is set so that a special decorative drawing (special symbol) can be displayed. A special decorative drawing is displayed in a fixed stop at any one of the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of the row (for example, the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of the middle symbol row) so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game is given. It is configured. The symbol combination of the decoration drawing that can recognize the possibility of the occurrence of the big hit game becomes the hit suggestion display displayed on the first or second display device 17 or 43. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all rows displayed in a fixed stop display at the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the first or second display device 17, 43 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, From “734”, “171”, etc.), it can be recognized that in principle it is a “out of game” to which no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing which can recognize this deviation becomes a deviation display of the first or second display device 17 or 43. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of the specific symbol combination include symbol combinations (eg, “123” and “321”) in which three rows of decorative drawings are arranged in ascending or descending order, the left symbol rows 26a and 44a, and the middle symbol row. 26b and 44b are the same, and the right symbol row 26c and 44c is the same as the symbol combination of the symbols 26c and 44c (for example, “778”). (For example, “758” (Nagoya)). In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decorative pattern that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row 26a, 44a and the right symbol row 26c, 44c) among the plurality of symbol rows, and The remaining symbol row (in the embodiment, the middle symbol row 26b, 44b) is displayed in a variably displayed manner (reach display) so that the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. . As a specific example of reach display, a combination of symbols in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a, 44a and the right symbol row 26c, 44c (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) It becomes. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the decorative symbols of the specific symbol rows (the left symbol rows 26a and 44a and the right symbol rows 26c and 44c) that form the reach display are in a temporarily stopped display state, and the remaining symbol rows (the middle symbol row). 26b, 44b), after the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display), the decorative drawings of all the symbol sequences are fixedly stopped and displayed.

  As a result of the first special figure variation display in the first special figure display section 50A, the first display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decorative figure corresponding to the special figure 1 to be displayed. That is, the special symbol 1 displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A corresponds to the symbol combination of the decorative graphic displayed on the first display device 17, and when the first symbol variation effect ends, The special figure 1 is fixedly stopped on the first special figure display section 50A, and the decorative figures are fixedly stopped and displayed on the first symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c of the first display device 17. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing 1 is not necessarily one-to-one, so that the combination of symbols with one decorative drawing is selected from the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing 1. It has become.

  On the second display device 43, as a result of the second special figure fluctuation display on the second special figure indicator 50B, the symbol combination of the decorative figure corresponding to the special figure 2 to be displayed is displayed. That is, the special figure 2 displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B corresponds to the symbol combination of the decorative figure displayed on the second display device 43, and when the second symbol variation effect ends, The special figure 2 is confirmed and stopped on the two special figure display unit 50B, and the decorative figure is confirmed and stopped on the second symbol rows 44a, 44b, and 44c of the second display device 43.

(About probability change)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a privilege game state as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, the privilege gaming state is a state in which the winning chance of the pachinko ball to the special prize opening is increased as compared to a state where the privilege gaming state is not given. Specifically, in the bonus game state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure (winning probability) from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the privilege game state is referred to as “probability change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the condition that a pachinko ball is detected by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 of the second special winning unit 35 (entering a pachinko ball into the specific area) in a specific round during the big hit game. It is possible to give a probability variation state in which the lottery probability (hit probability) is changed from a low probability (1 / 262.144 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1 / 73.885 in the embodiment) after the game). It is a function to do. Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. The low probability and the high probability are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting. The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a probability variation limiter function that regulates the number of consecutive variation hits described later, and when the probability variation big hit game is generated up to the limit number set by the probability variation limiter function, the probability variation limiter The function is activated and the probability variation state is forcibly terminated (that is, a non-probability variation state). Note that the period during which the probability variation state is given (hereinafter, the number of variations of the symbol variation effect (special variation variation display) in which the probability variation state continues is referred to as the probability variation number) is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state can be continuously given until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is given, and the transition to the non-probability variation state can be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is also possible to set the number of probability changes after the end to a finite number (for example, 100 times).

  Here, as will be described later, when the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends, “1” is set to the probability change flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the probability change state is not given. The probability variation flag is set to “0”.

In the case of the third jackpot game, the game state after the end of the third jackpot game becomes a non-probability change state regardless of whether the probability variation limiter is not operated or operated, and after the third jackpot game ends, The control CPU 60a is set to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern from the first specific special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT3 and PT4. That is, in the third jackpot game, the special figure variation pattern group for determining (selecting) the game state and the special figure variation pattern after the third big hit game is not changed regardless of whether the probability variation limiter is inactive or not activated. It is set as a big hit game.

(Regarding the fourth jackpot game)
In the case of the fourth jackpot game, if the probability variation limiter is inactive when it is determined that the certain variation state is given by winning the specific area, the gaming state after the end of the fourth jackpot game However, if the probability variation limiter is activated when it is determined that the certain variation state is given by winning a specific area, the gaming state after the end of the fourth jackpot game is forcibly changed. It is set to be in an uncertain state. In the case of the fourth jackpot game, if the probability change limiter is not activated and the probability change state is given after the big hit game, the main control CPU 60a sets the second specific special figure fluctuation pattern after the fourth big hit game ends. In contrast to determining the special figure variation pattern from the group PT5, when the probability variation limiter is activated and the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game, the main control CPU 60a normally performs the special figure fluctuation pattern after the fourth big hit game is finished. The special figure variation pattern is set to be determined from the groups PT1 and PT2. In other words, the fourth big hit game is a special figure variation pattern group for determining (selecting) the game state and the special figure fluctuation pattern after the fourth big hit game is ended according to the non-actuation and operation state of the probability variation limiter. Is set as a big hit game that changes. In the fourth big hit game, if there is no winning in the specific area, the game state after the big hit game is a non-probable change state, and the main control CPU 60a normally changes the special figure, similarly to the operation of the probability change limiter. A special figure variation pattern is determined from the pattern groups PT1 and PT2.

(About game mode)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of game modes MA, M1, and M2 having different control conditions for playing games. In the embodiment, as a control condition when a game is performed under the control of the main control CPU 60a, a special hit pattern variation pattern group referred to when determining the jackpot probability (high probability, low probability) and the special chart variation pattern is used. Types are determined, and game modes MA, M1, and M2 in which one or both of the jackpot probability and the special figure variation pattern group are determined (see FIG. 10). In other words, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the jackpot probability at the time of jackpot determination is a high probability (probability variation state) or a low probability (non-probability variation state), and is referred when determining the special figure variation pattern. It can be said that the game modes MA, M1, and M2 are determined by determining the type of the special figure variation pattern group. Then, the game modes MA, M1, and M2 are determined by determining the jackpot probability at the time of determining the jackpot to be determined and the type of the special figure variation pattern group that is referred to when determining the special figure variation pattern. . In the embodiment, the game modes MA, M1, M2 are determined by determining the jackpot probability and the special figure variation pattern group to be different game modes MA, M1, M2, and the game modes MA, M1, M2 are shifted. Then, there are cases where it is designated. In the embodiment, the game modes MA, M1, and M2 are shifted in response to the occurrence of the jackpot game, and the occurrence of the jackpot game is a transition condition of the game modes MA, M1, and M2 (mode transition condition). ) Is established.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, a normal game mode MA and specific game modes M1 and M2 are provided as game modes in which the degree of advantage for the player differs depending on the difference in the control conditions, and the specific game modes M1 and M2 are provided. Is set to be more advantageous for the player than the normal game mode MA. In the embodiment, the first specific game mode M1 and the second specific game mode M2 are set as the specific game modes M1 and M2, and the second specific game mode M2 is more advantageous to the player than the first specific game mode M1. The degree is set high. That is, the magnitude relationship of the degree of advantage for the player in the game mode is the relationship of the normal game mode MA <the first specific game mode M1 <the second specific game mode M2.

(Regarding normal game mode MA)
FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the transition of the game modes MA, M1, and M2 based on the control conditions in each game mode MA, M1, and M2, the type of jackpot game, and the game state. As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal game mode MA, the game state is an uncertain change state (the probability of big hit is low), and the main game mode MA is used in the first special figure start process and the second special figure input / start process described later. When the control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the normal special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1 and PT2. In other words, the state in which the main control CPU 60a makes a big hit determination with a low probability and the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the normal special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1 and PT2 is the normal game mode MA. Details of the normal special figure variation pattern groups PT1 and PT2 will be described later.

(About the first specific game mode M1)
As shown in FIG. 10, in the first specific game mode M1, the game state is an uncertain change state (the probability of big hit is low), and the main game is executed in the first special figure start process and the second special figure input / start process. When the control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the first specific special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT3 and PT4. In other words, the state in which the main control CPU 60a makes a jackpot determination with a low probability and the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern from the first specific special figure variation pattern groups PT3 and PT4 is the first specific game mode M1. Details of the first specific figure variation pattern groups PT3 and PT4 will be described later.

(About the second specific game mode M2)
As shown in FIG. 10, in the second specific game mode M2, the main control is performed in the first special figure start process and the second special figure input / start process when the game state is a probabilistic change state (the big hit probability is high probability). When the CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the second specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT5. In other words, the state in which the main control CPU 60a makes a jackpot determination with high probability and the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern from the second specific special figure variation pattern group PT5 is the second specific game mode M2. The details of the second specific special figure variation pattern group PT5 will be described later.

  Here, the pitching rate in each of the game modes MA, M1, and M2 will be described. It is to be noted that the rate of winning is the ratio of the number of prize balls (M) to the number of pachinko balls (N) that have been thrown into (injected into) the gaming area 75 in the normal gaming state other than the big hit gaming state (M / N). More specifically, the number of pachinko balls that are driven into the game area 75 per unit time and the pachinko balls win the prize holes 30a and 31a provided in the pachinko machine 10 other than the special prize ports 33a and 35a during the unit time. It is the ratio of the number of prize balls that are paid out. The base game mode MA is set to about 19%, and the first and second specific game modes M1 and M2 are set to about 90%. That is, while the first game mode M1 and the second game mode M2 have the same degree of advantage in the starting rate, the specific game modes M1 and M2 have a higher degree of advantage in the rate than the normal game mode MA. Is set.

(Changes in game modes MA, M1, M2)
Next, transitions triggered by the occurrence of jackpot games (symbols) in the game modes MA, M1, and M2 will be described with reference to FIG.

(In normal game mode MA)
In the normal game mode MA, when a specific big hit game (specific hit game, specific symbol) is determined as the big hit game, it is set to shift to the first specific game mode M1. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines the first jackpot game (the non-probability variable big hit game corresponding to the pattern A) and the main control CPU 60a determines not to give the probability change state, The main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the first big hit game. That is, in the embodiment, when the first big hit game (symbol A), which is a specific big hit game, is determined in the normal game mode MA, the first specific game mode M1 having a higher advantage than the normal game mode MA. It is configured to be able to shift to a big hit game. In the normal game mode MA, the main control CPU 60a determines the second big hit game (non-probable big hit game corresponding to the symbol B) which is not a specific big hit game as a big hit game and is a non-specific big hit game. The main control CPU 60a determines the control conditions so that the game mode after the end of the second big hit game is maintained in the normal game mode MA when the main control CPU 60a determines not to give the probability change state. It is configured to

  In the normal game mode MA, when the main control CPU 60a determines the third jackpot game (the non-probability variable big hit game corresponding to the symbol c) as the big hit game, and determines that the main control CPU 60a does not give the probability change state. In addition, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the third big hit game. Further, in the normal game mode MA, the main control CPU 60a determines the fourth big hit game (probability big hit game corresponding to the symbol d) as the big hit game, and gives the probability change state after the end of the fourth big hit game. When the main control CPU 60a is determined, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the second specific game mode M2 after the end of the fourth big hit game. That is, in the embodiment, the third jackpot game and the fourth jackpot game are also a specific jackpot game in which the game mode is shifted from the normal game mode MA to the specific game modes M1 and M2 having a higher advantage than the normal game mode MA. Is set as If the main control CPU 60a does not decide to give a certain probability change state after the end of the fourth jackpot game (when the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 does not detect a ball), after the end of the fourth jackpot game, The main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the normal game mode MA.

  Here, the third and fourth jackpot games are jackpot games that may be won by winning the second start winning section 31. In the board configuration of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, This is a jackpot game that can occur when "Right-handed", and a jackpot game that cannot occur when "Left-handed". Further, as will be described later, in the normal game mode MA, a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment included in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 referred to by the main control CPU 60a when a winning is made to the second start winning opening 31a. The specified fluctuation time is a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment included in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 that is referred to by the main control CPU 60a in response to winning in the first start winning opening 30a in the normal game mode MA. It is set to be extremely longer than the fluctuation time specified in (1). In the normal game mode MA, there is little merit in aiming to win the second start winning opening 31a by “right-handed”. In the normal game mode MA, “left-handed” A game is performed. That is, in the situation where the game is played “left-handed” in the normal game mode MA, the main control CPU 60a determines that the winning is determined by the big hit determination in response to the winning at the first start winning opening 30a, and corresponds to the symbol A. When the first jackpot game is determined, after the end of the first jackpot game, the normal game mode MA is shifted to the first specific game mode M1 having a higher degree of advantage for the player.

(In the case of the first specific game mode M1)
In the first specific game mode M1, the main control CPU 60a determines the first and third big hit games (non-probable big hit games corresponding to the symbols A and c), and the main control CPU 60a does not give a probable change state. If determined, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to maintain the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the first and third jackpot games. Further, in the first specific game mode M1, the main control CPU 60a determines the second jackpot game (non-probability variable jackpot game corresponding to the symbol B) and also determines that the main control CPU 60a does not give the probability change state. In this case, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the normal game mode MA after the end of the second big hit game. Further, in the first specific game mode M1, when the main control CPU 60a determines the fourth big hit game (probability big hit game corresponding to the symbol d) and the specific area entry detection sensor 42 detects a ball, The main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the second specific game mode M2 after the end of the fourth big hit game. As described above, in the first specific game mode M1, the first specific game mode M1 is won by winning the first and third big hit games that are non-probability variable big hit games (not winning the probable big hit game that is a predetermined condition). The game mode M1 is configured so that a game can be repeatedly performed. That is, in the first specific game mode M1, a game in the first specific game mode M1 having a higher advantage than the normal game mode MA can be continued by winning a specific non-probable big hit game. . In other words, in the first specific game mode M1, the first specific game mode M1 can be maintained when the fourth jackpot game that is a probable big hit game is not won (when the predetermined condition is not satisfied). ing.

  Here, in the first specific game mode M1, the main control CPU 60a determines the second big hit game (non-probable big hit game corresponding to the symbol B), and the main control CPU 60a does not give the probable change state. If determined, the main control CPU 60a determines the control condition so that the game mode MA is shifted to after the second jackpot game is finished as described above. However, in the first specific game mode M1, the average fluctuation when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on a first-type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT3 described later that is referred to when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined. From the relationship between the time VB1 and the average fluctuation time VB2 when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT4, in the first specific game mode M1, “left-handed” The player is more advantageous to increase the number of winnings to the second starting winning part 31 by “right-handed” than to increase the number of winnings to the first starting winning part 30. That is, the main control CPU 60a may be determined by winning the first start winning portion 30 where there is no possibility that the pachinko ball will win in the situation where “right-handed” is performed in the first specific game mode M1. Only in the case of the second jackpot game (symbol B), the first specific game mode M1 is shifted to the normal game mode MA. In other words, in a situation in which “right-handed” is performed in the first specific game mode M1, the main control CPU 60a does not determine the second big hit game (symbol B) as the big hit game, and the first specific game mode M1. Or shift to the second specific game mode M2. Even if the fourth jackpot game is won in the first specific game mode M1, the main control CPU 60a does not decide to give the certainty change state after the end of the fourth jackpot game (enter the specific area). When the ball detection sensor 42 does not detect a ball), the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the normal game mode MA after the end of the fourth big hit game.

(In the case of the second specific game mode M2)
In the second specific game mode M2, the main control CPU 60a determines the first and third big hit games (non-probable big hit games corresponding to the symbols A and c), and the main control CPU 60a does not give a probable change state. If determined, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to shift to the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the first and third jackpot games. Also, in the second specific game mode M2, the number of times the fourth big hit game (symbol d), which is a probable big hit game in the second specific game mode M2 (probability change state), is won (winning in the second start winning portion 31) Until the number of times that the main control CPU 60a has decided to give a certain probability change state) reaches the limit number of times described below (less than the prescribed number), the fourth big hit game is won and the main control CPU 60a enters the probability variation state. When it is determined to be granted, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to maintain the second specific game mode M2 after the end of the fourth jackpot game. In the second specific game mode M2, the number of times that the main control CPU 60a decides to give the probability variation state (the number of times the predetermined condition is satisfied) is determined as the limit number (the number of times the predetermined condition is satisfied). When the predetermined number of times has been reached, the game mode is shifted to the normal game mode MA after the fourth big hit game. In the embodiment, since the probability variation state is assigned with a probability of approximately 100% by winning the fourth jackpot game, the main control CPU 60a has a probability variation jackpot game (fourth jackpot game). And the number of times that it is determined to give a probability variation state may be referred to as the number of winnings in the probability variation big hit game. In addition, the limit number of the embodiment is set to “1”, and the main control CPU 60a wins the fourth big hit game (symbol d) once in the normal game mode MA or the first specific game mode M1. By deciding to give the probability variation state, even if the probability variation limiter is activated and the fourth jackpot game (symbol d) is won in the transitioned second specific game mode M2, the end of the fourth jackpot game is ended. Thereafter, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so as to forcibly shift to the normal game mode MA. In other words, in the second specific game mode M2, the first and third big hit games that are non-probable big hit games are won, and the main control CPU 60a determines that the positive change state is not given, whereby the fourth big hit game. The number of wins (the number of wins for the probable big hit game) reaches the limit number, so that it can shift to the first specific game mode M1, which has a higher advantage than the normal game mode MA that shifts. In the second specific game mode M2, the main control CPU 60a assigns a probability change state after the end of the fourth jackpot game when the number of wins in the probability jackpot game is less than the limit number and the fourth jackpot game is won. Is determined (when the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 does not detect a ball), the main control CPU 60a determines the control condition so as to shift to the normal game mode MA after the end of the fourth big hit game. Has been.

  Here, in the second specific game mode M2, the main control CPU 60a determines the second big hit game (non-probable big hit game corresponding to the symbol B), and the main control CPU 60a does not give the positive change state. When determined, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the control condition so that the game mode MA is shifted to after the second jackpot game is over. However, in the second specific game mode M2, the game state is a probable change state, and the ball surface gate 46 and the second start winning portion 31 are arranged in the second ball flow down path 75b. Therefore, in the second specific game mode M2, the player is more likely to increase the number of winnings to the second starting winning part 31 by “right-handed” than to increase the number of winnings to the first starting winning part 30 by “left-handed”. It is configured to be advantageous to. That is, the main control CPU 60a may be determined by winning the first start winning portion 30 where there is no possibility that the pachinko ball will win in a situation where “right-handed” is performed in the second specific game mode M2. In the case of the second big hit game (symbol B), the second specific game mode M2 is shifted to the normal game mode MA.

(Probability limiter function)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment wins the probability variation big hit game (fourth big hit game, symbol d), and the main control CPU 60a decides to give the probability variation state with a preset limit number as an upper limit. Probability limiter function to limit is provided. It should be noted that the number of times that the probability variation big hit game is won and the assignment of the probability variation state is determined may be referred to as the probability variation big hit number (the number of times the predetermined condition is satisfied). That is, the main control CPU 60a has a function as a probability variation counter capable of counting the number of probability variation big hits, and each time the probability variation big hit game is determined and the probability variation state is determined to be added, the value of the probability variation counter is incremented by one. Until the number of times reaches the limit number, the probability variation limiter is not activated, and the probability variation state is given after the probability variation big hit game ends, while the value of the probability variation counter (number of probability variation big hits) reaches the limit number. In such a case, the probability variation limiter operates after the probability variation big hit game ends. And even if the probability variation big hit game is won in the probability variation state after the probability variation big hit game has reached the limit number of times, it is configured to forcibly enter the non-probability variation state after the probability variation big hit game ends. . Further, when the value of the probability variation counter (probability variation hit number) reaches the limit number, the value of the probability variation counter (probability variation number of hits) is reset (ie, set to “0”).

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a, which has a probability variation big hit number less than the limit number and is determined to be a hit in the big hit determination, is the non-probable variable big hit game (first, second and third big hit games). , Symbols A, B, c) and when the main control CPU 65a determines not to give the probability variation state, the main control CPU 60a resets the probability variation big hit count (value of the probability variation counter) (probability variation limiter). Is deactivated). For example, when the limit number is set to “5 times”, the next big hit game is a non-probable big hit game (first, second and second) after the probability variation big hit number (value of the probability variation counter) becomes three times. When the main control CPU 65a decides not to give the probability variation state in the third jackpot game, symbols A, B, c), the probability variation big hit count (value of the probability variation counter) is reset to “0” (probability variation). Limiter is deactivated).

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the limit number is set to “1”. In other words, in the normal game mode (non-probability change state) MA or the first special game mode (non-probability change state), if it is determined that the probability change big win game is won and the probability change state is given, the probability change limiter operates. In the probability variation state (second specific game mode M2 in the embodiment) after the probability variation big hit game is ended, even if the probability variation big hit game is won, the game is forcibly shifted to the normal game mode MA after the probability variation big hit game ends. It is configured to

Since the figure variation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, and PT5 are set, the special figure variation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, and so on for each effect mode corresponding to the game modes MA, M1, and M2. PT4 and PT5 correspond. In addition, as a kind of production mode, it is not limited to these, Other production modes can also be set. Further, the game state suggestion images displayed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 in each of the effect modes (the normal effect mode, the first effect mode, and the second effect mode) do not have to be one type. A plurality of types of game state suggestion images can be set for each of these effect modes.

  The first and second display devices 17 and 43 are configured to display a game state suggestion image having contents corresponding to the effect mode. Specifically, for each effect mode, the background image displayed on the back of the decorative drawing of the first and second display devices 17 and 43 is set differently, and the current game mode MA, The player can recognize M1 and M2. Further, in each effect mode, some or all of the effect contents (special pattern change patterns and effect patterns described later) of the symbol change effect performed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are different. It is set so that a specific effect can be executed for each mode.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a uses various random numbers as passage detection information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the ball passage gate 46 (more specifically, when the ball passage detection sensor 47 detects the pachinko ball). It is set to get. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon the detection of the ball passage detection sensor 47, various random numbers such as a random number for normal figure determination and a random number for determining a normal pattern variation pattern are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values in a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update. A random number is acquired in accordance with the timing at which the detection signal of the passage detection sensor 47 is input to the main control CPU 60a. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a big hit determination value indicating that a big hit is generated as a result of the special figure change display (design change effect). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a big hit is made using the determination random number per special figure (big hit determination), and is a value from “0” to “65535” that the random number for determination per special figure can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from a total of 65536 integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (in the embodiment, the number that the winning probability of the jackpot is 1 / 73.885) is the jackpot determination set in the non-probability variation state. It is set to be larger than the number of values (in the embodiment, the number at which the winning probability of jackpot is 1 / 262.144). That is, the big hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of big hit judgment values in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The determination value for special figure determination is displayed on the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display unit 50B as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special drawing display unit 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number.

The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. In the embodiment, the number of judgment values per common figure is set to 65535, and the common figure occurs at about 100% in the common figure judgment (determined that the main control CPU 60a opens the second start winning opening 31a). ).

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns (fluctuation patterns) for specifying the fluctuation contents, and the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to each special figure fluctuation pattern. It is remembered. Here, the special figure fluctuation pattern is a display content (contents of the special figure fluctuation display, which is executed between the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display and the final stop display. The basic content of the design variation display content, the light emission effect mode, and the sound effect mode) is specified. Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (the special figure fluctuation display and the pattern 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 variation production is specified. Special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern using the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified.

  The special figure fluctuation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into a special figure fluctuation pattern for winning and a special figure fluctuation pattern for losing, and the special figure is changed according to the game modes MA, M1, and M2. A specific special figure variation pattern distribution determination value is determined for each variation pattern. Note that the special figure variation pattern for winning is a special figure variation pattern that can be determined when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for loss is a special figure fluctuation pattern selected when the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is negative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment includes a reach special figure fluctuation pattern which is finally made a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a special figure fluctuation pattern which is a deviation without forming a reach. . The reach effect is a decorative drawing that is a big win display (winning display) or an off display after the symbol combination of the effective symbols that are reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the first or second display device 17, 43. This is an effect performed until the symbol combination is stopped and displayed.

  Here, the reach effect is an effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed, and is performed with the reach display that is displayed on the first display device 17 or the second display device 43 in the process of symbol variation. Is called. In addition to the reach effect, the effect that suggests the possibility of a winning display being displayed is a plurality of times the decorative patterns of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c are continuously performed in a single symbol variation effect. Quasi-continuous notice effect that temporarily stops temporarily, continuous notice effect (pre-reading notice effect) that makes it possible to continuously execute a change cycle from decoration start to change stop once, or first display The player is informed of the possibility that the winning display is displayed by the announcement effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit display on the device 17 or the second display device 43, or the sound of the lamp device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19. There is a notice effect.

  That is, a hit determination means for performing a hit determination (big hit determination) triggered by winning (start condition is established) in the first start winning portion 30 or the second start winning portion 31, and a plurality of types of win games (big hit games) The winning game type determining means for determining the type of hit game (big hit game) to be given from among the hits, and the winning type of the determined type (big hit game) given after the end of the special figure change display (after the end of the pattern change effect) The main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has respective functions as game giving means. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment has a function as a function as a big hit determination means for determining a big hit when the first start winning unit 30 or the second start winning unit 31 is won. The main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns having different fluctuation times stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning in the first start winning section 30 or the second start winning section 31. It has a function as special figure variation pattern determining means (variation pattern determining means). The main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determining means for determining whether a probability change state in which the probability of occurrence of a big hit (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is a big hit) is higher than usual is given. And, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the end of the big hit game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the probability variation state is to be applied only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the big hit determination means is a big hit). As described above, the main control CPU 60a, when the winning determination result is a winning, is a privilege state advantageous to the player after the winning game based on winning in the first starting winning portion 30 or the second starting winning portion 31 ( It has a function as a privilege state determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability variation state.

  In addition, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information acquired while the first display device 17 is performing the symbol variation effect (that is, while the first special symbol display unit 50A is performing the special symbol variation display). Functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor 37 is started while the variable display is performed on the display means (the first display device 17 or the first special figure display unit 50A). It functions as a hold storage means for storing as hold information. Further, the main control CPU 60a is provided with a special figure variation pattern determining means on condition that a predetermined condition for the first opening / closing member 33b to open the first special winning opening 33a is satisfied (hit in the determination result of the hit determination). The main control CPU 60a has a function as a fluctuation pattern group switching means for switching a special figure fluctuation pattern group for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern. The main control CPU 60a also has a function as mode transition means for transitioning the game modes MA, M1, and M2 triggered by the occurrence of a big hit game (establishment of the mode transition condition).

  Next, a special figure input process and a special figure start process executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(About the first special figure input process)
The first special figure input process is a process executed for the first start winning portion 30. In the first special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 30a of the first start winning section 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 38 corresponding to the first start winning opening 30a detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result of step A11 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure input process. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of suspensions of the special figure start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step A12). ). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holdings of the special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of reserved special figure start hold information <4), the number of special figure start hold information held is incremented by 1, and the special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for effect execution determination, and the value of various random numbers such as the random number for distribution of special figure variation pattern). Is read from the main control CPU 60a, and the winning information (random number value) is set in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds as special figure start hold information (step A14). Thereby, the first special figure input process is completed.

(About the first special figure start process)
The first special figure start process is a process executed for the first start winning unit 30, and the main control CPU 60a executes the first special figure start process every predetermined period (4 ms in the embodiment). ing. In the first special figure starting process, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 1 in the first special figure display section 50A and the first display device 17 while the variable figure is being displayed, or during the big hit game. It is determined whether or not there is (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step B11 is negative, the number of holds of special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and it is determined whether or not the number of hold of special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. (Step B13). When the determination result of step B13 is negative (when the number of holdings of special figure start hold information = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. In addition, when the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of reserved special figure start hold information> 0), the main control CPU 60a stores the special figure change process stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “1” indicating that the first special figure variation display is executed is set in the flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the special figure start hold information (step B14), and the special figure start hold information stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a obtains (a random value for determination per special figure, a random value for determination of special figure, a random value for determination of performance execution, and a random number value such as a random number for distribution of special figure variation pattern) (Step S60). B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a obtains the special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the special figure start hold information, and then stores the special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure storage area, which is stored second fastest. (Random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored in the second special figure storage area. The special figure start hold information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area in which the special figure start hold information stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area. That is, the special figure start hold 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 special figure holding display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holdings of the special figure start holding information after subtraction.

  When various random numbers as special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the big hit determination value matches (step B16). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination becomes positive when the non-probability change state (low probability) (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 1 / 262.144. The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 1 / 73.885. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B16 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B17). 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 B18). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 1, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” when the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that imparts a probability variation state, and sets the probability variation flag to “0” when the jackpot symbol does not impart a probability variation state. Set to. When the big hit symbol (special diagram 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special diagram variation pattern group PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, PT5 described later, and sets the random number for special diagram variation pattern distribution. Based on the winning special figure fluctuation pattern, one special figure fluctuation pattern is determined (step B19).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B16 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B21). 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 in step B21 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 stop symbol). FIG. 1) is determined (step B22). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, and PT5, which will be described later, and based on the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value, the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment reach. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the above (step B23).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B21 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 Fig. 1) (step B24). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, and PT5, which will be described later, on the basis of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value for the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment. One special figure variation pattern is determined from the inside (step B25).

  The main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure variation pattern in the steps B19, B23, B25 outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing (step B20). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a sets the variation time defined in the determined special diagram variation pattern in the first variation timer for special diagram 1 provided in the main control RAM 60c, and designates the special diagram variation pattern. At the same time, a special pattern variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation is output, subtraction by the first variation timer is started, and measurement of the variation time specified by the special diagram variation pattern is started. 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 first special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the first 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 content of the special figure 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. . Specifically, when the first variation timer times the variation time (when the time of the first variation timer becomes “0”), the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol. While controlling the display content of the first special figure display section 50A, it instructs the decorative drawing to stop changing and outputs an all symbols stop command. If the probability variation state termination condition is satisfied, a probability variation termination command is output.

  Here, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured so that the first special figure variation display (first symbol variation effect) and the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) can be performed simultaneously. Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured not to hold the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) based on the winning to the second start winning portion 31 as described above. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the second special figure input / start process for the second start winning part 31, the first special figure input process for the first start winning part 30, and the first The special figure starting process can be executed in parallel. The main control CPU 60a executes the second special figure input / start process every predetermined period (4 ms in the embodiment).

(About the 2nd special drawing input / start process)
In the second special figure input / start process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31a of the second start winning section 31 (step C11). That is, in Step C11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 39 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step C11 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure input / start process. If the determination result in step C11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 2 is in a variable display or a big hit game in the second special figure display unit 50B and the second display device 43. Is determined (step C12). If the determination result of step C12 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure input / start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step C12 is negative, the main control CPU 60a indicates that the second special figure fluctuation display is executed on the special figure fluctuation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. Set “1”. Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for effect execution determination, and the value of various random numbers such as the random number for distribution of special figure variation pattern). Is acquired by the main control CPU 60a (step C13).

  When various random numbers as the second special figure starting information are acquired by the processing of step C13, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the big hit determination value matches (step C14). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination becomes positive when the non-probability change state (low probability) (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 1 / 262.144. The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 1 / 73.885. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step C14 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step C15). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (special diagram 2), which becomes a big hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B, based on the acquired special figure determination random number value (step C16). ). 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 jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” when the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that imparts a probability variation state, and sets the probability variation flag to “0” when the jackpot symbol does not impart a probability variation state. Set to. When the big hit symbol (special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, PT5 described later and sets the random number value for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution. Based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for winning, one special figure fluctuation pattern is determined (step C17).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step C14 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step C16). 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 C13 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step C19 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display unit 50B to display the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special feature). 2) (step C20). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, and PT5, which will be described later, and based on the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value, the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment reach. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the above (step C21).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in Step C19 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 diagram 2) (step C22). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2, PT3, PT4, and PT5, which will be described later, on the basis of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value for the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment. One special figure variation pattern is determined from the inside (step C23).

  The main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure variation pattern in the steps C17, C21, and C23 outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing (step C18). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a sets the variation time defined in the determined special figure fluctuation pattern in the second fluctuation timer for special figure 2 provided in the main control RAM 60c, and designates the special figure fluctuation pattern. At the same time, a special pattern variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation is output, subtraction by the second variation timer is started, and measurement of the variation time specified by the special diagram variation pattern is started. 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 second special figure input / start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the second special figure input / start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display content of the second special figure display unit 50B 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. . Specifically, when the second variation timer times the variation time (when the time of the second variation timer becomes “0”), the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol. While controlling the display content of the 2nd special figure display part 50B, it instruct | indicates the change stop of a decoration drawing and outputs all the symbol stop commands. If the probability variation state termination condition is satisfied, a probability variation termination command is output.

  Here, in the first special figure starting process and the second special figure input / starting process, the type of the big hit symbol (big hit game) determined by the main control CPU 60a and the main control CPU 60a decide whether or not to give the certainty change state. In response to this, a description will be given of a process in which the main control CPU 60a sets a game mode flag indicating the game modes MA, M1, and M2 after the jackpot game specified by the jackpot symbol. In the normal game mode MA, the normal game mode flag indicating the normal game mode MA is set to “1”, and in the first specific game mode M1, the first specific game mode flag indicating the first specific game mode M1. Is set to “1”, and in the second specific game mode M2, the second specific game mode flag indicating the second specific game mode M2 is set to “1”.

  When the game mode at the time of winning the big win is the normal game mode MA, if the main hit CPU 60a determines that the main control CPU 60a does not give the probability variation state with the big win symbol A and c, the normal game mode flag is set to “0”. And the first specific game mode flag indicating the first specific game mode M1 is set to “1”, and the main control CPU 60a determines that the big hit symbol is the symbol d and the main control CPU 60a is to give the probability variation state. The normal game mode flag is set to “0” and the second specific game mode flag indicating the second specific game mode M2 is set to “1”. In addition, when the game mode when the big win is won is the normal game mode MA, if the big win symbol is symbol B and the main control CPU 60a determines that the main control CPU 60a does not give a certain change state, the normal game mode flag is changed. Do not (ie leave “1”).

  Further, when the game mode at the time of winning the jackpot is the first specific game mode M1, if the jackpot symbol is symbols A and c and the main control CPU 60a decides not to give the probability variation state, the first specific game mode is selected. Do not change the setting of the game mode flag (that is, leave it at “1”). Further, when the game mode at the time of winning the big win is the first specific game mode M1, the first specific game mode is determined when the main control CPU 60a determines that the main control CPU 60a grants the positive change state with the big win symbol d. The flag is set to “0” and the second specific game mode flag indicating the second specific game mode M2 is set to “1”.

  Next, the case where the game mode when the big hit is won is the second specific game mode M2 will be described. Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the limit number of times is set to “1” in the probability variation limiter function, and in the probability variation state (second specific game mode M2), the probability variation big hit game (fourth big hit game) is set. The game mode is set to shift to the non-probability change state by winning once, but the game mode to be transferred differs depending on the type of jackpot symbol, and the game mode flag to be set differs accordingly. That is, when the big hit symbol is symbols A and c and the main control CPU 60a determines not to give the certainty change state, the second specific game mode flag is set to “0” and the first specific game mode M1 is indicated. One specific game mode flag is set to “1”. Further, when the game mode at the time of winning the big hit is the second specific game mode M2, if the main control CPU 60a determines that the main control CPU 60a does not give the probability variation state with the big win symbol B, d, the second specific The game mode flag is set to “0” and the normal game mode flag indicating the normal game mode MA is set to “1”. In addition, when the number of limit is set to plural, if the number of wins for the probable big hit game is less than the limit number, if the main control CPU 60a decides to give the probable change state with the big win symbol being the symbol d, the second specification When the game mode flag is maintained at “1” and the number of wins of the probable big hit game reaches the limit number, the second specific game mode flag is set to “0” and the normal game mode flag indicating the normal game mode MA Is set to “1”.

(About variable stop processing when hitting)
In the implemented pachinko machine 10, when one of the two special figure fluctuation displays (symbol fluctuation effect) that are changing simultaneously is stopped and displayed as a big hit display, the main control CPU 60a changes the other special figure fluctuation that is changing. Since it is configured to perform a per-hour variation stop process for ending the display (design variation effect) result as an off display, the per-time variation stop process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the hit fluctuation stop process shown in FIG. 8, when one of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display is stopped with the big hit display (step D11), the other special figure is displayed. It is determined whether or not the change display is changing (step D12). And when the determination result of step D12 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the hit fluctuation stop processing. On the other hand, if the determination result in step D12 is affirmative, the result of the jackpot determination based on the winning information in the changing special figure fluctuation display is forcibly shifted and the corresponding special figure display units 50A and 50B are shifted. The special figure display units 50A and 50B are controlled so as to stop the special figure by display (step D13). Specifically, when the determination result in step D12 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure regardless of the value of the random number for special figure determination acquired by the detection of the start winning detection sensors 38 and 39 as a trigger. The outlier symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the parts 50A and 50B is determined as the final symbol (special symbol), and the subtraction of the corresponding variation timer is stopped to set the variation timer time to “0”. Note that the main control CPU 60a is set to stop the fluctuation of the other special figure before the big hit game based on the special figure displayed on one big hit is started when the determination result of step D12 is affirmative. Yes. That is, both of the symbol variation display in the two special symbol display units 50A and 50B are stopped by the big hit display, and the symbol variation display is stopped by the big bonus display by the special symbol display units 50A and 50B during the big hit game. It is configured to In addition, when the symbol variation display is forcibly stopped by the deviation display, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure designation command for designating the special figure of the deviation to the effect control CPU 65a and the corresponding display devices 17, 43. In, the all symbols stop command for outputting the symbol combination of the decorative pattern of the off-set is displayed.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the determination result of the step D12 is affirmative, the result of the big hit determination based on the winning information corresponding to the special-figure fluctuation display during fluctuation is either a win or a miss. Is also configured to forcibly deviate, so when one special figure fluctuation display during simultaneous fluctuation is stopped with a jackpot display, the other special figure fluctuation display that was stopped and displayed with a deviation is originally The player is prevented from recognizing whether it was a win or not.

(About production control)
Next, processing executed on the effect control board 65 will be described. The effect control CPU 65a of the effect 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. Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the effect control CPU 65a are classified for each effect mode (game mode MA, M1, M2), and the effect corresponding to the special figure variation pattern from the effect patterns that can be selected in the effect mode. A pattern is selected. In addition, when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the effect control CPU 65a responds to the stop symbol designation of the special figure corresponding to the command by the first display device 17 or the second display device. The decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c to be finally stopped and displayed on 43 is determined. In other words, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a, 26b, The decorative drawings 26c, 44a, 44b, and 44c are determined.

  In addition, based on the special figure 1 designation command and the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, the production mode (game mode MA, game mode MA, The effect control CPU 65a sets the effect mode flag indicating M1, M2). Specifically, when the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the probability variation state is given, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1”. ”And the probability variation flag is set to“ 0 ”when the jackpot symbol that does not give the probability variation state is supported. Further, the game mode MA depends on the type of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command, and the type of the current effect mode (game mode MA, M1, M2). , M1 and M2, the corresponding mode flag is set similarly to the mode flag processing. That is, in the effect control CPU 65a, a normal effect mode flag corresponding to the normal game mode flag, a first specific effect mode flag corresponding to the first specific game mode flag, and a second specific corresponding to the second specific game mode flag. The effect mode flag is set corresponding to the game mode flag set by the main control CPU 60a. Thus, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a are configured to recognize the current (in-game) game mode MA, M1, M2 based on the state of the mode flag (“0” or “1”). In the embodiment, even when the fourth jackpot game (symbol d) is won, if the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 does not detect a ball in a specific round, the probability variation state is not given. Therefore, the probability variation flag is set in accordance with whether or not the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects a sphere.

  Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative design designation command of each row is displayed on the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound. Output to the control board 73 and the like. Specifically, the effect control CPU 60a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time when the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and the decoration timing of the left symbol rows 26a, 44a is stopped. The left decoration drawing designation command is output at the right, the right decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the right symbol row 26c, 44c, and the middle decoration drawing at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the middle symbol row 26b, 44b. Outputs the specified command.

  In addition, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. The effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing a detachment including a reach formation symbol when a special figure variation pattern for a reaper losing effect is instructed. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment that does not include a reach formation symbol when a special-figure variation pattern for the detachment effect is instructed. Further, when the effect control CPU 65a receives all symbol stop commands, the effect control CPU 65a outputs the commands to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  The effect control CPU 65a includes the types of jackpot symbols designated by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, the designation commands relating to the start and end of the probability variation state, and the production mode flag. Based on the set value, the type of effect mode is determined, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined effect mode. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the effect control RAM 65c. When the effect control CPU 65a updates the effect mode flag, the effect control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the effect mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(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 first and second display devices 17 and 43 are 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 symbol variation effect, and the first and second display devices 17, so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. The image displayed on 43 is switched every predetermined period. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c is input, the display control CPU 70a receives the effective stop position of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c. 27, 45 temporarily stops the decorative design designated by the decorative design designation command, and when all the design stop commands are input, the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the respective symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c The display contents of the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are controlled so that the decoration diagram instructed by the decoration diagram designation command is displayed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 in a fixed and stopped manner. Terminate. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated effect mode.

  Here, the contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are a special symbol variation pattern designation command output from the main control CPU 60a or an effect pattern designation command output from the effect control CPU 65a. The main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a have a function as symbol variation effect determining means for determining the effect content for specifying the content of the symbol variation effect.

(Determination of special figure fluctuation pattern)
Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of an Example, determination of the special figure fluctuation pattern by main control CPU60a is demonstrated concretely.

That is, in the normal game mode MA, when it is determined that the winning game is determined to be a win (when winning) by winning the second start winning portion 31, the shortest time from the second normal special figure variation pattern group PT2 If the special figure variation patterns P12 to P14 are determined, but the winning combination is not determined to be a win (in the case of a loss) in response to winning the second start winning portion 31, the second normal special figure variation The longest special figure variation patterns P8 to P11 are determined from the pattern group PT2. In the embodiment, the fluctuation time (600 seconds) set in the out-of-bound or reach out-of-figure special figure fluctuation pattern P8 to P11 in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 is in all the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1 to PT5. The longest fluctuation time specified by all the special figure fluctuation patterns included is set to the longest, and the fluctuation time (0.5 seconds) set in the jackpot special figure fluctuation patterns P12 to P14 is all the special figures.

In the normal game mode MA, the average fluctuation time ((VA1 + VA2) when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 and the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2. / 2) may be expressed as “VAZ” in the following description.

  The fluctuation time (600 seconds) specified by the outlier or reach outlier special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P11 included in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 is the special figure included in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1. The length is set to 10 times the longest variation time (60 seconds) specified by the variation patterns P1 to P7. In the embodiment, the variation time of the out-of-reach special figure fluctuation pattern P4 included in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 is set to the longest, and the fluctuations specified by the out-of-reach or out-of-reach special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P11. While the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) is being performed for a time (600 seconds), the reach off special reach variation pattern P4 is triggered by the winning at the first start winning portion 30. When continuously determined, the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) based on the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern P4 is the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) 10 times at most. ) Can be done at the same time. The longest change time set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 in which the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern in response to winning in the second start prize winning section 31 is the first start prize winning section 30. The main control CPU 60a may be at least twice the longest fluctuation time set in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 in which the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern in response to the winning of.

  Here, since the jackpot probability set in the normal game mode MA is as low as 1 / 262.144, the first start winning portion 30 and the second start winning portion 31 are awarded in the normal game mode MA. The probability of being determined to be a hit in the big hit determination as a trigger is low, and the special figure variation patterns include the out of the normal normal figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1 and PT2, or the out of reach special figure fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 and P8 to The probability that P11 is determined is high. In addition, the expected value (average fluctuation time) of the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) per fluctuation that becomes a deviation is determined by the main control CPU 60a based on the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1. Compared with the case where the pattern is determined, the case where the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 is longer. That is, in the normal game mode MA, “right-handed” causes the second start winning portion 31 to win and execute the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect). It is more advantageous for the player to win the part 30 and execute the first special figure variation display (first symbol variation effect).

  The variation times (0.5 seconds) specified by the big hit special figure fluctuation patterns P12 to P14 included in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 are the first and second normal special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, It is set to the shortest variation time among the variation times specified by the special figure variation pattern included in PT2. That is, in the normal game mode MA, when the big hit determination is determined by winning the second start winning portion 31 and the big hit game is determined, the special figure variation display (symbol variation effect) is immediately terminated. The jackpot game determined in this way can be awarded. In other words, the expected value (average fluctuation time) of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) per fluctuation that is a hit where the big hit game occurs is based on the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1. Compared with the case where the control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern, the case where the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 is shorter.

  Here, the longest fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P14 included in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 is set in relation to the number of holdings of the special figure start hold information. It may be. Specifically, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the upper limit number of the special figure start hold information is set to four, and the first special figure is in a state where there are four special figure start hold information hold numbers. Since there is a possibility that the first special figure fluctuation display may be performed on the display unit 50A, the longest specified special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P14 set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PTA2 Is set to five times the longest fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern P4 included in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1. Thus, by setting the longest fluctuation time set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 to five times the longest fluctuation time set in the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1, In the situation where the first special figure change display is being performed in the first special figure display unit 50A in a state where the number of holds of the figure start hold information is the upper limit number (four), it is set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2. When the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P11 of the longest fluctuation time is started, until the first special figure fluctuation display based on all the special figure start hold information ends. In the second special figure display unit 50B, the second special figure fluctuation display based on one special figure fluctuation pattern can be continuously performed. That is, when the upper limit number +1 of the reserved figure start hold information based on the winning to the first start winning section 30 is set to K, the main control CPU 60a uses the special winning for the second start winning section 31 as a trigger. The first normal time in which the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern by using the longest fluctuation time set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 for determining the fluctuation pattern as a result of winning the first start winning portion 30.

(Regarding the relationship between the first specific figure variation pattern groups PT3 and PT4)
In the first specific game mode M1, the special control variation pattern is determined based on the first type first specific special variation pattern group PT3 corresponding to the main control CPU 60a when the first start winning portion 30 is won. When the average fluctuation time VB1 in the case where the special fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT4 is compared with the average fluctuation time VB2, the average fluctuation time VB2 is the average fluctuation time. It is set to be shorter than VB1 (VB2 <VB1). That is, in the first specific game mode M1, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT3 when the first start winning portion 30 is won. The average fluctuation time VB2 when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT4 when the average fluctuation time VB1 wins the second start winning portion 31 as a trigger. It is getting longer.

It is configured to be advantageous to the player.

(Relationship between special figure variation pattern groups PT4 and PT5)
In the first specific game mode M1, a special figure variation pattern is generated based on the second type first specific special figure variation pattern group PT4 corresponding to the main control CPU 60a triggered by winning the second start winning portion 31. In the average variation time VB2 when determined, and in the second specific game mode M2, the main control CPU 60a takes the second specific special pattern variation pattern group PT5 corresponding to the winning to the second start winning portion 31 as a trigger. Comparing the average variation time VC when the special figure variation pattern is determined based on the average variation time VC in the first specific game mode M1 and the average variation time VC in the second specific game mode M2 are substantially the same ( VB2≈VC). That is, the number of changes per unit time in the second special figure change display per unit time (second symbol change effect) in the first specific game mode M1, and the second special figure per unit time in the second specific game mode M2. The number of fluctuations per unit time of the fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) is set to be substantially the same.

(Regarding the relationship between special figure variation pattern groups PT1 to PT5)
In the normal game mode MA, the average fluctuation time VAZ when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 and the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2, and the first Average in the case where the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern based on the first type first specific figure variation pattern group PT3 and the second type first specific figure variation pattern group PT4 in the one specific game mode M1 When compared with the variation time VBZ, the average variation time VBZ in the first specific game mode M1 is set to be shorter than the average variation time VAZ in the normal game mode MA (VBZ <VAZ). That is, the number of fluctuations per unit time in the special figure variation display per unit time (symbol variation effect) in the first specific game mode M1 and the special figure variation display per unit time (symbol variation effect) in the normal game mode MA. The number of fluctuations per unit time is greater in the case of the first specific game mode M1, and the first specific game mode M1 is set as a game mode that is more advantageous than the normal game mode MA. Further, the average variation time VC in the second specific game mode M2 is set to be shorter than the average variation time VAZ in the normal game mode MA (VC <VAZ), and the second specific game mode M2 is also set. This game mode is more advantageous than the normal game mode MA. That is, in the normal game mode MA, the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern group from the normal special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1, PT2 to the first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT3. , PT4 or the second specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT5, the fluctuation efficiency of the symbol fluctuation (special figure fluctuation display, symbol fluctuation effect) becomes high, and a speedy game can be performed.

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

  The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment changes the first special figure when the pachinko ball flowing down the first ball flow path 75a in the normal game mode MA wins the first start winning portion 30 by “left-handed”. Display (first symbol variation effect) is performed. During the game in the normal game mode MA, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the first normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1 or the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2. However, as described above, the fluctuation time specified by the outlier or reach outlier special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P11, which is likely to be determined by the main control CPU 60a based on the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2, is the first. The main control CPU 60a is likely to be determined based on the normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT1, and is extremely long (10 times in the embodiment) compared to the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns P1 to P4. Therefore, in the normal game mode MA, it is more advantageous for the player to play a game with the expectation of winning the first start winning portion 30 by “left-handed” without performing “right-handed”. is there. The normal game mode MA has a lower degree of advantage than the specific game modes M1 and M2, but different normal variation patterns in the first start winning portion 30 and the second start winning portion 31 in the normal game mode MA. Since the special pattern variation pattern is determined from the groups PT1 and PT2, it is possible to improve the interest by diversifying the symbol variation. Further, in the normal game mode MA, winning special figure fluctuation patterns P12 to P12 set in the second normal special figure fluctuation pattern group PT2 that determine the special figure fluctuation pattern triggered by winning the second start winning portion 31. Since the variation time specified in P14 is extremely short (0.5 seconds), if a win is determined by winning the second start winning section 31 and a win is determined, the jackpot game is quickly given and the interest decreases. Can be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a first jackpot game corresponding to the symbol A when the jackpot symbol determined to be a hit in the jackpot determination is the symbol A in the normal game mode MA. Is granted. Then, when the main control CPU 60a determines not to give the certainty change state, the CPU shifts to the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the first big hit game. In the first specific game mode M1, the special control variation pattern group referred to by the main control CPU 60a to determine the special map variation pattern is the first type first specific special diagram from the normal special diagram variation pattern groups PT1, PT2. Switching to the variation pattern group PT3 and the second type first specific figure variation pattern group PT4. As described above, the average fluctuation time VBZ when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the first specific special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT3 and PT4 is the special figure fluctuation based on the normal special figure fluctuation pattern groups PT1 and PT2. It is set shorter than the average fluctuation time VAZ when the pattern is determined. The first jackpot game is not a probable big hit with a probability that the jackpot probability may be low to high, but the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern after the first jackpot game is over. By switching to the special figure fluctuation pattern group whose average fluctuation time is shortened as a special figure fluctuation pattern group for the purpose, the interval at which the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) is performed changes and the game progresses speedily, and the unit By increasing the number of fluctuations per hour, it is possible to improve the interest of the game due to the new gameability that increases the probability of being determined to be a hit in the jackpot determination. Further, in the first specific game mode M1, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern based on the first type first specific special pattern variation pattern group PT3 when the first start winning portion 30 is won. The average fluctuation when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second-type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT4, triggered by the average fluctuation time VB1 and the winning to the second start winning portion 31 Since the time VB2 is different, it is possible to improve the interest by diversifying the symbol variation in the first specific game mode M1.

  In the first specific game mode M1, when the jackpot symbol determined to be a hit in the jackpot determination is the symbols A and c, the first or third jackpot game corresponding to the symbols A and c is awarded. If the main control CPU 60a decides not to give the probability variation state, the game mode after the end of the first or third jackpot game is maintained at the first specific game mode M1 as shown in FIG. Is done. That is, by winning a big hit with the symbols A and c, it is possible to continue the game in the first specific game mode M1, which is advantageous for the player, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, if a right-hand hit is made in the first specific game mode M1 to prevent the first start winning portion 30 from winning a pachinko ball, the second jackpot game (symbol B) is won as described above. Therefore, if “right-handed” is performed, there is no sudden transition from the first specific game mode M1 to the normal game mode MA.

  In the first specific game mode M1, when the jackpot symbol determined to be a hit in the jackpot determination is the symbol d, a fourth jackpot game corresponding to the symbol d is awarded. In the fourth jackpot game, as described above, the second special prize winning unit 35 is displaced in the specific round from the first posture to the second posture. The pachinko ball flowing down the two-ball flow path 75b enters the specific area of the second special winning portion 35, and the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects the pachinko ball, thereby ending the fourth big hit game. Later, it is determined that the probability variation state is given. That is, after the end of the fourth big hit game, as shown in FIG. 10, the game mode is shifted to the second specific game mode M2. In the embodiment, since the limit number is set to “1”, the probability variation limiter operates after the end of the fourth big hit game. Therefore, even if the probability variation big hit game (fourth big hit game) is won in the second specific game mode M2 (probability variation state), the probability variation limiter is operated, so that the non-probability forcibility is forced after the probability variation big hit game ends. The normal game mode MA, which is the state, is shifted to. That is, in the first specific game mode M1 and the second specific game mode M2, which are specific game modes, the main control CPU 60a is triggered by the establishment of a specific start condition by winning the second start winning portion 31. When the game is determined (when the predetermined condition is not satisfied), the specific game mode is maintained by entering the first specific game mode M1, and the first specific game mode M1 and the second specific game which are the specific game modes are maintained. In mode M2, the number of times that the main control CPU 60a has determined the fourth big hit game triggered by the establishment of a specific start condition by winning the second start winning portion 31 (the number of wins for the probable big hit game, the number of times the predetermined condition has been established) When the probability variation limiter is activated after a specified number of times, the normal game is executed after the fourth big hit game won in the operational state of the probability variation limiter. Transition to mode MA.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the second specific game mode M2, when the big hit symbol determined to be a win in the big hit determination is the symbol A, c, the first or the corresponding to the symbol A, c. A third jackpot game is awarded. Then, when the main control CPU 60a determines not to give the certainty change state, the game mode is shifted to the first specific game mode M1 after the end of the first or third big hit game. Also, the probability variation big hit count (value of probability variation counter) is reset. In other words, if the jackpot symbol won in the probability variation state is the symbol A, c and the probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game, the transition is made after the jackpot game in the probability variation state where the probability variation limiter is operating and the probability variation jackpot is won. A transition is made to the first specific game mode M1, which is more advantageous than the normal game mode MA. In other words, the game can be performed in the first specific game mode M1, which is more advantageous than the normal game mode MA, without winning a promising big hit game that is advantageous to the player. be able to. Also, if a right-hand hit is made in the first specific game mode M1 to prevent the first start winning portion 30 from winning a pachinko ball, any of the jackpot determinations triggered by winning the second start winning port 31a Even if the big hit game (any of symbols c and d) is determined, the player can enjoy the game with peace of mind because the game does not suddenly shift to the normal game mode MA after the big hit game.

  Here, in the embodiment, the limit number is set to “1”, but when the limit number is set to a plurality of times, in the situation where “right-handed” is performed in the second specific game mode M2, the probability variation big hit game is set. The third jackpot game (symbol c), which is a non-probabilistic big hit game in a state where the number of winning times (the number of times the predetermined condition for which the probability changing state is granted) has not reached the limit number (the specified number of times) (the probability changing limiter is not activated) ) And the main control CPU 60a does not decide to give the certainty change state, the game can be played by shifting to the first specific game mode M1 advantageous to the player without shifting to the normal game mode MA. When the fourth jackpot game is won in the first specific game mode M1 and the probability change state is given after the fourth jackpot game, the player shifts to the second specific game mode M2, so that the player It is possible to continue the game in the advantageous first and second specific game modes M1 and M2, and it is possible to enhance the interest by an innovative gameplay that has never been achieved.

Moreover, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the first specific game mode M1 and the second specific game mode M2 have the same starting rate, so even if the winning probability is not won, the first specific game mode M1 has the same advantage level. By shifting to the game mode M1, the interest of the game can be improved without discouraging the player. After shifting to the first specific game mode M1, as described above, when the big hit game specified by the symbols A and c is won and the main control CPU 60a does not decide to give the certainty change state, The game in the first specific game mode M1 can be continued without shifting to the game mode MA, and the interest of the game can be further improved.
Further, in the situation where the player is “right-handed” in the second specific game mode M2, the transition destination of the game mode is the type of the big hit game (in the embodiment, the third big hit game and the second big game) Therefore, the interest of the player about which jackpot game will be won can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, in the first specific game mode M1 and the second specific game mode M2, the special figure variation pattern is determined from different special figure variation pattern groups PT3, PT4, PT5, so that the variation of the symbol variation is increased. This can improve interest. Further, in the first specific game mode M1 in which the game is performed by “right-handed”, the average fluctuation time VB2 when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second type first specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT4. And the average fluctuation time VC when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second specific special figure fluctuation pattern group PT5 in the second specific game mode M2 in which the game is played with “right-handed”. Since they are the same, it is possible to conceal which specific game mode M1, M2 is, and it is possible to improve the interest by the game nature of guessing the specific game mode.

The average time varying VBZ when JP diagram variation pattern is determined based on the first specific Japanese view variation pattern group PT3, PT4, it especially diagram variation pattern based on the normal Japanese Figure variation pattern group PT1, PT2 determined Since it is set to be shorter than the average fluctuation time VAZ in the case of being played, before and after winning a specific big hit game (first big hit game) in the normal game mode MA (before and after the special figure fluctuation pattern group is switched) Further, the game nature that changes the rhythm by changing the interval at which the special figure change display (design change effect) is performed can prevent the game from becoming monotonous and enhance the interest.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the first special figure variation display triggered by winning the first start winning portion 30 in any of the normal game mode MA and the specific game modes M1 and M2 ( Since the first special symbol variation effect) and the second special symbol variation display (second graphic variation effect) triggered by winning the second start winning portion 31 can be performed simultaneously, the normal game mode Differentiating from other models can be achieved by the gameability that allows simultaneous variation in both the MA and the specific game modes M1 and M2. In other words, compared to a pachinko machine that performs only one special figure variation display (symbol variation effect) triggered by winning at the first start winning section 30 or winning at the second start winning section 31, the big hit determination (hit determination) By increasing the number of executions, it is possible to improve the expected value as a hit, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, during the game in the normal game mode MA, the special figure variation pattern is determined based on the first normal special figure variation pattern group PT1 and the second normal special figure variation pattern group PT2. In the normal game mode MA, the second normal special figure variation pattern group PT2 in which the special figure variation pattern is determined in response to the winning in the second start winning portion 31 is the opportunity to win the first start winning portion 30. Special pattern variation patterns P8 to P11 for detachment in which the variation time is set to 10 times the longest variation time set in the first normal special diagram variation pattern group PT1 in which the special diagram variation pattern is determined as (See FIG. 11). Therefore, in the state where the second special figure fluctuation display and the second symbol fluctuation effect based on the special figure fluctuation patterns P8 to P11 for detachment are performed on the corresponding second special figure display unit 50B and the second display device 43, In the first special figure display section 50A and the first display device 17, the first special figure variation display and the first symbol variation effect can be performed up to ten times. That is, while the second symbol variation effect (second special diagram variation display) is continuously performed in the second display device 43 (second special diagram display unit 50B), the first display device 17 (first Since the special symbol display section 50A) repeatedly performs the first symbol variation effect (first special symbol variation display) many times, the player can change the symbol variation effect based on the winning to any of the start winning portions 30, 31. It is possible to clearly know whether it is (special map fluctuation display) or not by the difference in the fluctuation mode.

  The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) based on the winning information acquired with a winning at the first starting winning portion 30 and a winning at the second starting winning portion 31. When the 2nd special figure fluctuation display (2nd symbol fluctuation production) based on the winning information acquired at the same time is performed at the same time, if one special figure fluctuation display stops at the win display, the win based on the win Before the game is started, the special figure variation display during the other variation is forcibly discontinued and stopped by the display. That is, it is possible to prevent a plurality of hits from occurring simultaneously in a configuration in which a plurality of special figure variation displays (design variation effects) can be performed simultaneously.
