  By the way, when two types of big hits are installed, the number of game balls to be awarded to the big prize opening, and the ratio of game balls that will pass through the specific area out of the game balls that have entered the big prize opening, that is, 2 It is necessary to stabilize the probability of occurrence per seed. For this purpose, it is necessary to repeatedly perform a cut-and-try cycle such as a long-term fire test, a modification of various parts based on the result, and a re-fire test using the corrected part at the development stage. There is a problem that the development period becomes long.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can easily stabilize the probability of occurrence of two kinds of big hits while mounting the two kinds of big hits on condition that the game balls pass through a specific area in the big winning opening. Is to provide.

  Means employed by the present invention to solve the above problems will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the drawings will be appended in parentheses for convenience in the following, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated forms.

A first special figure display device (SD1) for deriving a symbol indicating the result of the first special figure lottery;
A second special figure display device (SD2) for deriving a symbol indicating the result of the second special figure lottery;
A movable object (movable) between a specific region (56) and a first posture for guiding the game ball so as to pass through the specific region (56) and a second posture for guiding the game ball so as not to pass through the specific region ( 53) and a prize winning opening (50) having an inside thereof,
A small game for executing a small hit game that opens the big winning opening (50) on condition that a small hit symbol is derived to the first special figure display device (SD1) or the second special figure display device (SD2). Winning game execution means (see FIGS. 12, 13 and 15);
First jackpot game execution means (FIGS. 12, 13) for executing a jackpot game on condition that the jackpot symbol is derived to the first special figure display device (SD1) or the second special figure display device (SD2). And FIG. 14),
A second hit game is executed on condition that a game ball has passed through the specific area (56) in the big prize opening (50) during the small hit game executed by the small hit game execution means. Jackpot game execution means (see FIGS. 12, 13, 14 and 15).

In the small hit game executed by the small hit game execution means,
After opening the big winning opening (50) for the first period from the start of the small hit game, the first small hit game (small hit type 1 of FIG. 17B) that maintains the closed state,
After opening the big prize opening (50) for a second period shorter than the first period from the start of the small hit game, the big prize opening (for the third period longer than the first period) 50) and the second small hit game (small hit type 2 in FIG. 17 (b)), and the movable object (53) has elapsed from the start of the small hit game by the small hit game execution means. It is associated with time and operates in accordance with a predetermined one operation pattern as to which of the first posture and the second posture is to be changed (see FIG. 18).
In the first operation pattern, the movable object (53) is shifted to the second posture at the timing when the game ball that has won the big prize opening (50) during the first period reaches the movable object. It is set so that the movable object (53) is shifted to the first posture at the timing when the game ball that has won the big prize opening (50) during the third period reaches the movable object (53).

  According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, when the first small hit game is executed by the small hit game execution means, the big winning opening is opened for the first period from the start of the small hit game. Even if the game ball wins the big prize opening during the first period, the game ball moves to the second posture at the timing when the game ball reaches the movable object. The game does not pass, and the big hit game is not executed by the second big hit game execution means.

On the other hand, when the second small hit game is executed by the small hit game execution means, first, the big prize opening is opened over the second period from the start of the small hit game. Since the second period is shorter than the first period, winning in the big winning opening during the second period becomes more difficult than the first small hit game.
In addition, since the second period is included in the first period, even if the game ball wins the big winning opening during the first period, the movable object is the second at the timing when the game ball reaches the movable object. Therefore, the game ball does not pass through the specific area.

  However, when the second small hit game is executed by the small hit game execution means, the third prize longer than the first period is released after the big prize opening is released for the second period from the start of the small hit game. The grand prize opening will be opened over the period. Since the third period is longer than the first period, it is easier to win a big prize opening than the first small hit game, and a game ball won in the big prize opening during the third period is possible. At the timing of reaching the animal, since the movable object has transitioned to the first posture, the game ball is guided to a specific area, and as a result, the second big hit game execution means is executed. It will be.

  Therefore, in practice, the first small hit game is a small hit game in which the second big hit game execution means is not expected to execute the second big hit game, even if the winning in the big prize opening is obtained, the second small hit game The game can be a small hit game that can be expected to be executed by the second big hit game execution means if a winning at the big winning opening is obtained.

  Here, whether to execute the first small hit game or the second small hit game depends on the lottery result by the first special drawing lottery means or the second special figure lottery means, that is, each small hit game. Since the execution probability can be set internally in advance, the probability of occurrence of two types of big hits can be easily stabilized by appropriately setting the execution probability of each small hit game.

In a specific configuration, the probability that the second small hitting game is executed based on the result of the second special figure lottery by the second special figure lottery means is the first special figure lottery by the first special figure lottery means. Is set higher than the probability that the second small hit game is executed based on the result of
If both the first hold storage device and the second hold storage device have a hold storage when a predetermined lottery start condition is satisfied, the random value information stored in the second hold storage means The second special figure lottery by the second special figure lottery means based on the first special figure lottery by the first special figure lottery means based on the random number information stored in the first hold storage means. Second reserve storage priority processing means for processing is provided.

  According to this specific configuration, the second reserved memory priority processing means, when both the first reserved memory device and the second reserved memory device have the reserved memory, the second small hit game, that is, the second Since the second special figure lottery with a relatively high probability of executing the small hit game in which the big hit game can be executed by the big hit game execution means is processed in preference to the first special figure lottery, it is advantageous for the player.

Further, in a specific configuration, the second start port (32) is not able to win when the ordinary electric accessory (32a) is not operated, and can be awarded only when the ordinary electric accessory (32a) is activated. ,
When the jackpot game is executed by the first jackpot game executing means or the second jackpot game executing means under the non-time saving game state at the time of initialization, the nontime saving game state is set after the jackpot game ends. And any of the short-time gaming states in which various conditions relating to the operation of the ordinary electric accessory (32a) are changed so that the winning to the second starting port (32) is easier than the non-short-time gaming state. A gaming state transition means for transitioning to the gaming state;
After the transition from the non-time saving gaming state to the time saving gaming state by the gaming state transition means, when the big hit game is executed during the time saving gaming state, after the big winning game ends, the non-time saving gaming state is entered. A short game state ending means for transition,
The game state transition means includes the jackpot game executed by the first jackpot game execution means based on the fact that the jackpot symbol is derived to the first special symbol display device (SD1), and the jackpot symbol. Is displayed on the first special figure display device (SD1), the big hit symbol is displayed on the second special figure rather than after the big hit game executed by the second big hit game executing means. The fact that the jackpot game executed by the first jackpot game execution means based on being led to the device (SD2) and the jackpot symbol are led to the second special figure display device (SD2). On the basis of this, after the jackpot game executed by the second jackpot game executing means is completed, the game is shifted to the short-time game state with a higher probability.

According to this specific configuration, in a non-time-saving gaming state in which it is difficult to win a prize at the second starting port, the player plays a game aiming at the first starting port that operates the first special figure display device.
A big hit game is executed by the first big hit game execution means / second big hit game execution means based on the derivation of the big hit symbol / small hit symbol to the first special figure display device corresponding to the first start port, and the game state When the shift means shifts to the short time state, winning at the second start opening becomes easy, and the player plays the game aiming at the second start opening for operating the second special figure display device.

  Based on the derivation of the big hit symbol / small hit symbol to the second special figure display device corresponding to the second starting port during the short-time gaming state, the first big hit game execution means / second big hit game execution means causes the big hit game Is executed, the game shifts to a non-time-saving gaming state after the jackpot game is finished.

When a big hit game in the short-time game state falls into a non-time-saving game state, the hold memory remains in the second hold memory means, and the first big hit game is executed based on the second special drawing lottery based on the hold memory. When the jackpot game is executed by the means / second jackpot game executing means, the jackpot game is executed by the first jackpot game executing means / second jackpot game executing means based on the first special drawing lottery. It will shift to the short-time gaming state with a higher probability than the case.
Accordingly, when the second special figure display device in the non-short-time gaming state is in operation, it is possible to enhance a sense of expectation for the transition to the short-time gaming state as compared to when the first special figure display device is in operation.

Moreover, in a specific configuration, in the non-time-saving gaming state, it comprises an effect execution means for executing an effect that suggests an expectation degree for the jackpot game execution based on the random number information stored in the second hold storage means.
The effect executing means determines the contents of the effect depending on how many random value information that the small hit game is to be executed in the random value information held in the second hold storage means. To decide.

According to the specific configuration, the second small hit game is executed in the random value information stored and stored in the second reservation storage means, particularly when the time-saving gaming state falls to the non-time-saving gaming state. In the case where there is a holding storage that becomes a big hit in the hold, and a big hit in the short game state when the big hit is made after the jackpot game is finished, a total of two jackpots are almost confirmed. In addition, there are three reserved memories in which the second small hit game is executed in the random value information stored in the second reserved storage means when the time-saving gaming state falls to the non-time-saving gaming state. In the case of the above, a total of four jackpot resorts will be substantially confirmed.
Therefore, by determining the content of the effect according to how many reserved memories in which the small hit game is to be executed in the random value information stored in the second reserved storage means, the player can Depending on the contents of the effect, it is possible to predict not only the expected degree of jackpot in the hold but also the number of jackpots.

Further, in a specific configuration, the game ball passage (54) is connected to the game ball passage (54) connecting the movable object (53) and the specific area (56) inside the special winning opening (50). And a shutter mechanism (55) that opens and closes between a closed state in which the game ball passing through the ball is received and retained and an open state in which the game ball is allowed to pass through,
The shutter mechanism (55) is a predetermined one opening / closing pattern in which a transition to the closed state or the open state is made in association with an elapsed time from the start of the small hit game by the small hit game execution means. (See Fig. 18),
The opening / closing pattern sets a timing at which the shutter mechanism (55) transitions from the closed state to the open state so that the game ball passes through the specific area after a lapse of a certain time from the start of the small hit game. Is,
The predetermined time is longer than the time required for the operation of the ordinary electric accessory (32a) based on the determination after the determination that the ordinary electric accessory (32a) is activated during the short-time gaming state. Is set.

According to the specific configuration, when the small hit game in the short-time game state is executed, the game ball that has won the big winning opening during the small hit game passes through the specific area in the big winning opening, Until the jackpot game is executed by the jackpot game execution means, it is possible to guarantee at least one operation of the ordinary electric accessory.
Since it is in the short-time gaming state, the winning of the second starting port can be easily obtained by the operation of this one ordinary electric accessory, and the random value information stored in the second holding storage means by the winning. Can be increased without fail.

  According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, it is possible to easily stabilize the probability of occurrence of two kinds of big hits while mounting the two kinds of big hits on condition that the game ball passes through a specific area in the big prize opening.

In the first start winning process shown in FIG. 5, the presence / absence of a winning at the first start port 31 is monitored, and when winning, various random value acquisition processes and prize ball payout processes are executed.
First, in step S501, it is determined whether or not the winning sensor 31S of the first start port 31 has detected a winning. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S501. On the other hand, when it is determined YES in step S501, the process proceeds to step S502, where it is determined whether or not the number of first special figure hold is 4, and when it is determined YES, the process proceeds to step S506. If NO is determined, in the next step S503, 1 is added to the first special figure reservation number. In the next step S504, various random numbers used for the special figure lottery process are acquired and stored in the first special figure holding storage area of the RAM 113. Then, in the next step S505, a hold prefetch process using each random number value acquired in step S504 is executed. The hold prefetch process will be described later.
In the next step S506, a prize ball payout process is executed, and the process returns to step S501. For example, the number of prize balls for winning a prize at the first start port 31 is set to three.

<Second start winning process> (FIG. 6)
In the second start winning process shown in FIG. 6, the presence / absence of a winning at the second start port 32 is monitored, and when winning, various random value acquisition processes and prize ball payout processes are executed.
First, in step S601, it is determined whether or not the winning sensor 32S of the second start port 32 has detected a winning. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S601. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S601, the process proceeds to step S602, where it is determined whether or not the second special figure holding number is 4, and if it is determined YES, the process proceeds to step S606. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the second special figure holding number in the next step S603. In the next step S604, various random numbers used for the special figure lottery process are acquired and stored in the second special figure holding storage area of the RAM 113. Then, in the next step S605, a hold prefetch process using each random number value acquired in step S604 is executed.
In the next step S606, a prize ball payout process is executed, and the process returns to step S601. For example, the number of prize balls for winning a prize at the second start port 31 is set to one.

<Gate processing> (FIG. 7)
In the gate process shown in FIG. 7, it is monitored whether or not the game ball has passed the left gate GT1 or the right gate GT2, and if it has passed, a process of acquiring a lottery random number is executed.
First, in step S701, it is determined whether the left gate sensor GT1S or the right gate sensor GT2S has detected the passing of the game ball. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S701. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S701, the process proceeds to step S702, where it is determined whether the number of pending drawings is 4 or not. In addition to adding 1 to the number of holdings, in the next step S704, the current value of the drawing random number is stored in the drawing holding storage area of the RAM 113, and the process returns to step S701. Also when it is determined YES in step S702, the process returns to step S701.

<Normal map processing> (Fig. 8)
In the usual drawing process shown in FIG. 8, the usual figure lottery process based on the random figure lottery random number acquired when the game ball passes the left gate GT1 or the right gate GT2, and the usual figure corresponding to the result of the usual figure lottery process. Display control of the display device ND is executed.
First, in step S801, it is determined whether or not the number of pending maps is 0. If it is determined as YES, the same determination is repeated in step S801. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S802, and 1 is subtracted from the number of pending drawings, and in step S803, the drawing lot number random number to be drawn is saved in the work storage area, and A process for releasing the reserved map storage area vacated by the save process is performed. In the next step S804, a general drawing lottery process is performed.
Specifically, in the general drawing lottery process, a general drawing lottery process related to the pattern form to be derived to the general map display device ND and a general figure changing time lottery process related to the normal figure changing time are performed. The contents of each lottery process will be described later.

In the next step S805, the normal map change is started.
In the next step S806, it is determined whether or not the normal fluctuation time determined in step S804 has elapsed. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S806. If it is determined as YES in step S706, the process proceeds to step S807 to stop the fluctuation of the normal map, and the symbol in the mode determined in step S804 is displayed on the universal map display device ND. Then, in the next step 808, it is determined whether or not the normal drawing lottery process has been won. If it is determined to be yes, the process proceeds to step S809, and the normal game process is executed, whereas if it is determined to be no. Returns to step S801.

<Normal game processing> (FIG. 9)
In the ordinary game process shown in FIG. 9, the ordinary electric combination executed when the symbol indicating that the lottery drawing has been won is stopped and displayed on the diagram display device ND after the diagram change on the diagram display device ND. Control relating to the opening of the object 32a is executed.
First, in step S901, the operation pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is determined. Specifically, the operation pattern is determined in accordance with the winning symbol derived to the ordinary display device ND.
Then, in the next step S902, the count number is set to 0 and the process proceeds to the next step S903, and the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is started in accordance with the operation pattern determined in step S901.

  After the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a, it is determined in step S904 whether the winning sensor 32S of the second start port 32 has detected a winning. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S905 and the count is counted. In addition to incrementing by 1, it is determined in the next step S906 whether the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. If it is determined YES in step S906, the process proceeds to step S908, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is terminated, and the process returns. For example, the maximum count is set to 10 balls.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in steps S904 and S906, it is determined in step S907 whether or not the operation pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is completed. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S908. In the meantime, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is finished and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO, the process returns to step S904.

Hereinafter, the general drawing lottery process in step S804 of FIG. 8 will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 10A, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the normal-winning probability is set to 32747/32749 regardless of the non-short-time gaming state and the short-time gaming state.
When winning the general drawing lottery, a type per universal symbol, that is, a symbol determination process per universal symbol is executed. As shown in FIG. 10 (b), there are two types of common maps, 1 and 2, and the distribution probability of type 1 per common map is 8356/8369, the symbol per universal map is "A", the type per universal map The distribution probability of 2 is set to 13/8369, and the symbol per common figure is set to “B”. In addition, the symbol that is out of the normal figure when it is out of the normal drawing lottery is set to “−” (bar).

Based on the result of the above-mentioned drawing drawing lottery, the drawing variation time is determined according to whether the current gaming state is in the non-short-time gaming state or in the hour-short gaming state and the number of drawing holdings at the beginning of the drawing fluctuation. To do. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the game is in a non-time-saving game state and the result of the general drawing lottery is 1 per normal map, the normal map will be displayed according to the number of hold of the general map at the start of normal map change. Determine the figure change time. Specifically, the normal map change time is set to 12 seconds if the number of hold of the normal map at the start of the normal map change is 0 or 1, 9.4 seconds for 2, 2 to 5.8 seconds for 3. Yes.
In the non-time-saving game state, the normal map change time when the base drawing lottery result is 2 per base map and out of the base map is 16.8 regardless of the number of the general map hold at the start of the base map change. Set to seconds.

  On the other hand, the normal map change time during the short-time gaming state is uniformly set to 0.5 seconds regardless of the general drawing lottery result and the number of hold of the normal map at the start of the normal map change.

Next, the ordinary electric accessory operation pattern determination process in step S901 of FIG. 9 will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 10B, when the game is in a non-time-saving game state and the normal drawing lottery result is 1 per normal drawing, an extremely short time of 32 milliseconds is released. In this case, a winning at the second start port 32 cannot be expected. On the other hand, when the game is in the short-time game state and the normal drawing lottery result is 1 per normal drawing, the cycle of 1 second after the 1 second release is repeated 5 times.
If the result of the general drawing lottery is 2 per normal drawing, regardless of whether it is in the non-short-time gaming state or the short-time gaming state, the extremely short time of 32 milliseconds → 11968 milliseconds of blockage → 5.5 seconds of release Perform the action.

  As described above, during the non-time-saving gaming state, the winning of the second start port 32 can be obtained only when the classification 2 is assigned per common figure, while the allocation probability is extremely low (13/8369). , The distribution probability is extremely high (8356/8369). The operation pattern of type 1 per common map is changed so that it is opened for a total of 5 seconds. 32 winnings are obtained.

  In addition, during the short-time game state, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the normal time fluctuation time is greatly shortened compared to the non-short-time game state. By opening for a long time, it is possible to easily win the second starting port.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the left gate GT1 is provided on the left board surface and the right gate GT2 is provided on the right board surface as the gate for starting the normal symbol lottery process. Since the start port 32 can be won regardless of whether it is left-handed or right-handed, it will be left-handed aiming at the first start-up port 31 during the non-time-saving gaming state. / A configuration that may be right-handed is adopted.

<Special drawing processing> (Fig. 11)
In the special figure process shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is established, and when the lottery start condition is established, the reserved storage information to be a lottery target is specified and the specified hold is specified. The first special figure process or the second special figure process is started based on the stored information.
First, in step S1101, it is determined whether the big hit game, the small hit game, the first special figure is changing, or the second special figure is changing. If any one is determined to be yes, the same determination is repeated in step S1101. That is, the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is a case where neither the big hit game nor the small hit game is played and the first special figure and the second special figure are not changing. If it is determined NO in step S1101, that is, if it is determined that the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is satisfied, it is first determined in step S1102 whether or not the second special figure holding number is zero.

  If YES is determined in step S1102, the second special figure process is executed in step S1103, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1102, the process proceeds to step S1104, and it is determined whether or not the first special figure reservation number is zero. If YES is determined in step S1104, the first special figure process is executed in step S1105, and the process returns. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S1104, the process returns to step S1102.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when both the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number are not zero, various lottery processes and special drawings based on the reservation storage according to the second special figure. A so-called special 2-priority digestion method is employed in which the fluctuation process is prioritized over the various lottery processes and the special figure fluctuation process based on the hold storage according to the first special figure.
In addition, when there are a plurality of holdings (for example, the first drawing holding number) of the drawing type special drawing type determined by the above-described method, the drawing object is selected in the order of the holding storage information that is acquired earlier (acquired first). To do.

<First special drawing process> (FIG. 12)
In the first special figure process shown in FIG. 12, various lottery processes based on the reserved storage information to be drawn for the first special figure and the symbol variation process in the first special figure display device SD1 based on the lottery result are executed. .

In the next step S1207, it is determined whether or not the variable time determined in the first special figure variable time lottery process in step S1204 has elapsed. If it is determined no, the same determination is repeated in step S1207. on the other hand. If it is determined as YES in step S1207, the process proceeds to step S1208 to transmit a first special figure variation stop command to the sub-control unit 120, and to the first special figure display device SD1 in the next step S1209. The symbols of the aspect determined in the first special figure lottery process in step S1203 are stopped and displayed.

In the next step S1210, it is determined whether or not the big special symbol display device SD1 has stopped the big hit symbol. If it is judged as YES, the procedure goes to step S1211 to execute the big hit game process and returns.
If it is determined NO in step S1210, it is determined in step S1212 whether or not the first special figure display device SD1 has stopped the small hit symbol. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S1213. The small hit game process is executed and the process returns. If it is determined NO in step S1212, that is, if it is not, the process returns.

<Second special drawing process> (FIG. 13)
In the second special figure process shown in FIG. 13, various lottery processes based on the hold storage information of the lottery object related to the second special figure and the symbol variation process in the second special figure display device SD2 based on the lottery result are executed. .
First, in step 1301, the number of second special figure hold is decremented by 1, and in the next step S1302, a save process of the hold storage information for lottery and a release process of the free hold storage area are executed.
In the next step S1303, a second special figure lottery process is executed. Specifically, in the second special figure lottery process, either the big hit, the small hit or the off is drawn, and the second special figure to be derived to the second special figure display device SD2 according to the lottery result. Determine aspects.

In the next step S1304, a second special figure fluctuation time lottery process is executed.
The contents of the second special figure lottery process and the second special figure variable time lottery process will be described later.

Then, in the next step S1305, a second special figure change start command including various lottery results is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. In step S1306, the second special figure change is started and measurement of the fluctuation time is started. To do.
In the next step S1307, it is determined whether or not the variation time determined in the second special figure variation time lottery process in step S1304 has elapsed. If it is determined no, the same determination is repeated in step S1307. on the other hand. If it is determined as YES in step S1307, the process proceeds to step S1308 to transmit a second special figure fluctuation stop command to the sub-control unit 120 and to the second special figure display device SD2 in the next step S1309. The symbols of the mode determined in the second special figure lottery process in step S1303 are stopped and displayed.

In the next step S1310, it is determined whether or not the big special symbol display device SD2 has stopped the big hit symbol. If it is determined as YES, the procedure proceeds to step S1311 to execute the big hit game process and returns.
If it is determined NO in step S1310, it is determined in step S1312 whether or not the second special symbol display device SD2 has stopped the small hit symbol. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S1313. The small hit game process is executed and the process returns. If it is determined NO in step S1312, that is, if it is not, the process returns.

<Big hit game processing> (FIG. 14)
In the jackpot game process shown in FIG. 14, the winning round of the second winning prize opening 38 is performed a plurality of times based on the fact that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SD2. The processing related to the jackpot game to be executed is executed.
First, in step S1401, a big hit game start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. In the next step S1402, the maximum number of rounds is set, and in step S1403, the number of rounds is set to 1. A method for setting the maximum number of rounds will be described later.

  In the next step S1404, a round release pattern corresponding to the number of rounds is set, and in step S1405, the count number is set to zero, and a big hit round is started in step S1406. Note that the round opening pattern in each jackpot round is set according to the jackpot type for each special figure display device, similarly to the maximum number of rounds.

After the big hit round starts, it is first determined in step S1407 whether the count sensor 38S of the second big prize opening 38 has detected a win. If it is determined to be yes, 1 is added to the count in step S1408, In the next step S1409, it is determined whether or not the count number has reached the maximum count number.
If it is determined YES in step S1409, the second big prize opening 38 is closed in step S1411, and the round is ended. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S1407 and NO is determined in step S1409, it is determined in step S1410 whether or not the opening pattern of the round has been completed, and if YES is determined. Closes the second big prize opening 38 in step S1411, and ends the big hit round. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S1410, the process returns to step S1407 to continue the big hit round.

  In step S1412 following step S1411, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds has reached the maximum number of rounds. If it is determined that the number of rounds is NO, 1 is added to the number of rounds in step S1415, and the process returns to step S1404. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S1412, the game state setting process after the big hit game is executed in step S1413, and the big hit game end command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120 in the next step S1414. To return. The game state setting process after the big hit game will be described later.

<Small hit game processing> (FIG. 15)
In the small hit game process shown in FIG. 15, the first big winning opening 50 is opened based on the fact that the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SD2. When the game ball that has entered the first big winning opening 50 through the opening passes the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50, the big hit game is started. Run.
First, in step S1501, a small hit game start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and in the next step S1502, there are 50 open patterns of the first big prize opening according to the type of the small hit symbol, that is, the small hit type. Make settings and set the maximum count. The maximum count is set to 7 counts.

  In the next step S1503, the count number and the specific area passing flag are set. In the next step S1504, the small hit game is started, and the operations of the movable object 53 and the shutter mechanism 55 in the first big winning opening 50 are started.

  During the small hit game, in step S1505, it is determined whether the left count sensor 51LS or the right count sensor 51RS in the first big winning opening 50 detects the passage of the game ball, and it is determined as YES. In step S1506, 1 is added to the count number, and the process proceeds to step S1507. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S1505, step S1506 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S1507.

  In step S1507, the specific area sensor 56S in the first grand prize winning opening 50 determines whether or not the passing of the game ball has been detected. If YES, the specific area passing flag is set to 1 in step S1508. Is set and the process proceeds to step S1509. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1507, the process returns to step S1505 to continue the small hit game.

  After the small hit game is finished in step S1511, whether or not the specific area passing flag is 1 in step S1512, that is, the game ball passes the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game. If it is determined whether or not, and it is determined as YES, the big hit game process is started in step S1513 and the process returns. On the other hand, the process also returns if it is determined NO in step S1512.

<First special figure lottery process and second special figure lottery process> (FIG. 16)
In the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process, as shown in FIG. 15A, first, a lottery, a small hit or a loss is lottery based on the random number value information to be drawn.
The big hit probability is set to 253/65535 which is equivalent to the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process, that is, about 1/259. There is no so-called probability change function, and the jackpot probability is always constant.

The small hit probability is slightly different between the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process. The small hit probability in the first special figure lottery process is 15000/65536, that is, 1 / 4.37, The small hit probability in the second special drawing lottery process is set to 14875/65536, that is, 1 / 4.41.
Along with the difference in the small hit probability in the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process, the outlier probabilities in the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process also differ slightly. The off probability in the drawing lottery process is 50283/65536, and the off probability in the second special figure lottery process is 50408/65536.

When a big win is won in the first special figure lottery process shown in FIG. 15A, a big hit symbol determination process for determining a big hit type, that is, a big hit symbol is performed.
In this processing, as shown in FIG. 15B, it is determined which of jackpot type 1 and jackpot type 2 is to be used. The distribution probability for jackpot type 1 and jackpot type 2 is 50%.
The jackpot symbol when set to jackpot type 1 is set to “A”, and the jackpot symbol when set to jackpot type 2 is set to “B”. The maximum number of rounds in a jackpot game is 15 rounds regardless of the type of jackpot.

Further, whether or not to shift to the short-time game state after the big hit game ends depends on the game state and the big hit type at the time of the big hit. Specifically, during the non-short-time gaming state, only when the big hit type 2 is allocated to the big hit, after the big hit game, the transition to the short-time gaming state with a limit of 100 times, while in other cases , Transition to non-time-saving gaming state.
Therefore, the probability of shifting to the short-time gaming state after the big hit game in the non-short-time gaming state is 50%, the probability of transitioning to the short-time gaming state after the big hit game in the short-time gaming state is 0%, and the probability of falling to the non-time-saving gaming state Is 100%.

On the other hand, when the big win is won in the second special figure lottery process shown in FIG. 15A, as shown in FIG. 15C, the big hit type 3 is determined with a distribution probability of 100%.
The jackpot symbol when assigned to jackpot type 3 is “C”, and the maximum number of rounds in the jackpot game is 15 rounds.

  Further, whether or not to shift to the short-time game state after the big hit game ends depends on the game state at the time of the big hit. Specifically, in the case of a big hit in the non-time saving game state, after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the time-saving gaming state with a limit of 100 times, whereas in the case of a big hit in the time-saving gaming state, the non-time saving game Fall to the state.

When winning a small hit in the first special drawing lottery process shown in FIG. 15 (a), as shown in FIG. 15 (d), the small hit type 1 is determined with a distribution probability of 100%.
The small hit symbol of the small hit type 1 is “D”, and the big hit game is executed on condition that the game ball has passed through the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game. However, the maximum number of rounds in the big hit game is set to 15 rounds, including the open round of the first big winning opening 50 by the small hit game.

  In addition, after the big hit game is over, regardless of the game state at the time of big hit and the type of small hit, it does not shift to the short-time game state, but shifts to the non-short-time game state.

Further, when winning a small hit in the second special drawing lottery process shown in FIG. 15A, as shown in FIG. 15E, the small hit type 2 is determined with a distribution probability of 100%.
The small hit symbol of the small hit type 2 is “E”, and the big hit game is executed on condition that the game ball has passed through the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game. However, the maximum number of rounds in the jackpot game is set to 15 rounds, including the first round winning opening 50 of the small jackpot game, and 16 rounds.

  In addition, after the above jackpot game is over, if the game state at the time of the small hit that triggered the jackpot game is a non-time-short game state, the game will shift to a time-short game state with a limit of 100 times. If it is in the short-time gaming state, it shifts to the non-short-time gaming state.

<Big hit game and small hit game specifications>
Next, the jackpot game specifications for each jackpot type and the jackpot game specifications for each jackpot type will be described.
The jackpot game specifications for each jackpot type are set to be the same for all jackpot types 1 to 3, as shown in FIG. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, the grand prize opening to be opened is the second big prize opening 38 in all rounds, the maximum count is 7 counts, the maximum opening time of the second big prize winning opening 38 in each round Is set to 28 seconds.

  With regard to the small hit game specification for each small hit type, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), in both the small hit types 1 and 2, the first big winning port to be opened is the first big winning port 50, and the maximum count number is 7. Although it is shared with the count, the opening pattern of the first big prize opening 50 differs depending on the small hit type. Specifically, in the case of small hit type 1, an opening pattern that maintains the blockage after opening for 500 milliseconds, and in the case of small hit type 2, the block is opened for 100 milliseconds → blocked for 10,000 milliseconds → opened for 1500 milliseconds → blocked. The first big prize opening 50 is opened in an opening pattern that maintains the above.

  As described above, in the case of the small hit type 1, since the opening time of the first big winning opening 50 through the small hit game is as short as 0.5 seconds, it is difficult to win the first big winning opening 50. On the other hand, in the case of the small hit type 2, since the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game includes a part in which the open state is maintained for 1.5 seconds, the winning to the first big winning opening 50 is made. Becomes easy.

  FIG. 17C shows the specifications of the big hit game executed on condition that the game ball has passed the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game. The specifications of the big hit game are set to be the same for both small hit types 1 and 2. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, the grand prize opening to be opened is the second big prize opening 38 in all rounds, the maximum count is 7 counts, the maximum opening time of the second big prize winning opening 38 in each round Is set to 28 seconds.

  Accordingly, the jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as a direct hit jackpot) executed when the jackpot symbol is derived to the first special chart display device SD1 or the second special chart display device SD2, and the first special chart display device SD1 or the second special chart. The big hit game (hereinafter referred to as the small hit game) executed on the condition that the game ball has passed the specific area 56 in the first big winning opening 50 during the small hit game executed with the small hit symbol derived on the display device SD2. In any case, the winning ball of 7 counts × 7 rounds × 15 rounds = 735 balls for winning in the second big winning opening 38 is obtained.

<Regarding the operation pattern during the small hit game of the movable object 53 and the shutter mechanism 55 in the first big prize opening 50>
The movable object 53 and the shutter mechanism 55 in the first big winning opening 50 each operate according to one operation pattern according to the elapsed time from the start of the small hit game.
The movable object 53 is normally in the second attitude shown in FIG. 3, that is, the attitude that guides the game ball that has reached the junction 52 to the out-ball path 57 side so as not to pass through the specific area 56.
When the small hit game is started, specifically, when the pair of movable blades 50a and 50b respectively provided at the two entrances of the first grand prize opening 50 transition from the closed state to the open state, the movable object 53 is Transition from the normal second posture to the first posture for guiding the game ball reaching the junction 52 to the safe ball passage 54 side, and maintaining the first posture for 52 milliseconds, then transits to the first posture. .
Then, after maintaining the first posture for 10048 milliseconds, the transition to the second posture is performed again, and after maintaining the second posture for 6000 milliseconds, the transition to the first posture is performed.
Thereafter, after maintaining the first posture for 1000 milliseconds, the transition is made again to the second posture, and after maintaining the second posture for 400 milliseconds, the transition is made to the first posture.

Further, the shutter mechanism 55 is normally in an open state, that is, a state in which a game ball flowing down the safe ball passage 54 shown in FIG. 3 is allowed to flow down to the specific area 56.
When the small hit game is started, the shutter mechanism 55 transitions from the normal open state to a closed state that prevents the game ball flowing down the safe ball passage 54 from flowing down to the specific area 56. After maintaining the state for 100 milliseconds, the state transits to the open state.
Then, after maintaining the open state for 400 milliseconds, the state is again changed to the closed state, and after the closed state is maintained for 17000 milliseconds, the state is changed to the open state.

  FIG. 18 shows the first big prize in the small hit game corresponding to the small hit type 1 (hereinafter referred to as the first small hit game) executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the first special figure display device SD1. The opening / closing pattern of the mouth 50, the first in the small hit game corresponding to the small hit type 2 (hereinafter referred to as the second small hit game) executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the second special figure display device SD2 4 is a time chart showing an opening / closing pattern of a special prize opening 50, an operation pattern of a movable object 53, and an operation pattern of a shutter mechanism 55.

  As can be seen from FIG. 18, in the case of the first small win game, the opening time of the first big winning opening 50 through the small hit game is as short as 0.5 seconds, and it is difficult to win the first big winning opening 50 itself. However, it is possible. However, the movable object 53 has transitioned to the first posture only during the period of 52 milliseconds from the start of opening of the first grand prize winning opening 50, and thereafter transitions to the second posture. Even if a winning is made to the 1st prize winning port 50, the game ball is not distributed to the safe ball passage 54 side, and flows down to the out ball passage 57. Therefore, in the case of the first small hit game, even if the game ball wins the first big winning opening 50, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 56.

On the other hand, in the case of the second small hit game, the opening time of the first big winning opening 50 at the beginning of the small hit game is as short as 0.1 seconds, and the first big winning opening 50 due to the opening is the first winning prize. Although it is more difficult than small hit games and is almost impossible to expect, since the opening time of the second first big prize opening 50 that is held 10 seconds after the opening is 1.5 seconds long, the second first big game When the winning opening 50 is opened, a winning can be easily obtained.
In addition, the movable object 53 also transitions from the second posture to the first posture in synchronization with the opening of the first first prize winning opening 50 of the second small hit game, and maintains the first posture for 6 seconds. Therefore, the game ball that has won the first big prize opening 50 is led to the safe ball passage 54 side by the movable object 53 by opening the first big prize opening 50 of the second small hit game.

  According to the rules of the gaming machine, the maximum opening time for a single winning game through a single small hit game is set to 1.6 seconds at a maximum. The maximum value (maximum count number) of the winning numbers is 7 balls as described above.

  For this reason, the opening time of the second first big prize opening 50 in the second small hit game is secured as long as possible within a maximum of 1.6 seconds, and the first big prize in the second small hit game is secured. The number of winnings at the first opening of the mouth 50 is suppressed to substantially zero, and as many game balls as possible can be won at the opening of the second first big winning opening 50, 1 of the second small hit games The opening time of the first first prize winning opening 50 is 0.1 second, and the opening time of the second time is 1.5 seconds.

  The movable object 53 maintains the first posture for 6 seconds from the start of the opening of the first first prize winning opening 50 for the second small hit game, and then transitions to the second posture and keeps the second posture for 1 second. maintain. And after changing to a 1st attitude | position and maintaining the said 1st attitude | position for 0.4 second, it changes to a 2nd attitude | position and complete | finishes an operation | movement pattern. The reason why the first posture is maintained for 0.4 seconds at the end of the operation pattern of the movable object 53 is that the left-hand inflow path 51L, the right-side inflow path 51R and the merging portion 52 are brought into contact with the movable object 53. The purpose is to guide the game ball that has arrived late to the safe ball passage 54 side, and the game ball does not reach the movable object 53 during this period unless the above irregular event occurs.

Furthermore, since the shutter mechanism 55 is kept open for 17 seconds after being opened for 0.4 seconds at the beginning of the small hit game, the first big prize opening 50 for the second time of the second small hit game is maintained. The game ball that has won the first grand prize opening 50 by being opened and is guided to the safe ball passage 54 side by the movable object 53 is prevented from flowing down to the specific area 56 by the shutter mechanism 55 in the closed posture. It stays in contact with the shutter mechanism 55.
Then, after 17.5 seconds have elapsed from the start of the small hit game, as the shutter mechanism 55 transitions from the closed state to the open state, the game balls that have been prevented from flowing down by the shutter mechanism 55 flow down to the specific area 56. , It passes through the specific area 56.

As described above, in the first small hit game corresponding to the small hit type 1 executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the first special figure display device SD1, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 56. So you can not expect a big hit game.
On the other hand, in the second small hit game corresponding to the small hit type 2 executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the second special figure display device SD2, if the first big winning opening 50 can be won, Since the ball passes through the specific area 56, the big hit game is executed based on this.

  In addition, the timing at which the game ball won in the first big winning opening 50 in the second small hit game passes through the specific area 56 is such that the shutter mechanism 55 is closed after 17.5 seconds from the start of the second small hit game. After transition from state to open state. In addition, it takes a little time for the game ball that has been blocked by the shutter mechanism 55 in the closed state to pass through the specific area 56 after the shutter mechanism 55 transitions from the closed state to the open state. Become.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the time required for the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a during the short-time game is 10 seconds for the type 1 per common figure, and 17.5 for the type 2 per common figure. Since it is seconds, it is ensured that at least one operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is guaranteed until the game ball that has won the first big winning opening 50 during the second small hit game passes the specific area 56. become.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a during the short-time game is as follows. In the case of 2, since the second start port 32 is opened for 5.5 seconds, the winning to the second start port 32 can be easily obtained along with the opening.

  Therefore, the period from the start of the second small hit game until the game ball winning the first big winning opening 50 during the second small hit game passes the specific area 56, that is, the small hit via big hit is started. In the meantime, the number of second special figure reservations can be easily increased to four by winning a prize at the second starting port 32 in accordance with the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a during the short-time game.

The significance of setting the maximum number of second special figure reservations to 4 before the start of the big hit via big hit will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention is set to 253/65535 which is equivalent to the first special figure lottery process and the second special figure lottery process, that is, about 1/259. Yes. There is no so-called probability change function, and the jackpot probability is always constant.
In addition, the big hit game is not executed via the first small hit game executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the first special figure display device SD1, and all of the big hits via the small hit game are the second special figure. The second small hit game is executed when the small hit symbol is derived to the display device SD2. In the second small hit game, winning in the first big winning opening 50 is easy and the winning game ball passes through the specific area 56, so that the big hit game is executed almost certainly.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16E, the probability that the small hit symbol “E” that causes the second small hit game to be executed on the second special figure display device SD2 is derived is 14875. / 65536, that is, about 1 / 4.4, it is a big chance for the player to operate the second special figure display device SD2, that is, to win the second starting port 32 itself. A shortcut to

However, since the entrance of the second start port 32 is normally blocked by the ordinary electric accessory 32a and cannot be won, it is necessary to operate the ordinary electric accessory 32a to obtain a prize.
As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a itself is easy in both non-time and short hours, but as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the ordinary electric charge 32a is normally distributed with a distribution probability of 8356/8369. In the type 1 per figure, since the opening time of the second start port 32 during the non-time-saving game is as short as 32 milliseconds, a win to the second start port 32 cannot be expected.
Therefore, in order to obtain a prize at the second start port 32 during the non-short-time game, there is no choice but to win a type 2 per ordinary figure with a distribution probability of 13/8369, that is, about 1/644.

  On the other hand, during the short-time gaming state, the opening time of the second start port 32 of type 1 per common map, which is distributed with the allocation probability 8356/8369, is changed to 5 times per second. Sometimes, a prize can be expected at the second start port 32 regardless of the type of the usual figure.

  Therefore, during the non-short-time gaming state, the direct hit big hit is aimed at the first start port 31, and more specifically, the big hit type 2 shown in FIG. Whether or not to win a big hit that will shift to the short game state with a limited number of times is the first barrier to victory.

  When the jackpot symbol “B” corresponding to the jackpot type 2 is derived to the first special chart display device SD1, after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to a time-short game state with a limit of 100 times. As described above, in the short-time gaming state, the opening time of the second start port 32 of the type 1 per common map distributed with the allocation probability 8356/8369 becomes longer, so that winning to the second start port 32 can be easily obtained. It is done. In addition, since the probability that the small hit symbol “E” that causes the second small hit game to be executed on the second special chart display device SD2 is derived is high as 14875/65536, that is, about 1 / 4.4, During the short-time gaming state, it is possible to reliably win big hits via small hits. Therefore, when the big hit symbol “B” corresponding to the big hit type 2 is derived to the first special figure display device SD1 and the state shifts to the short-time gaming state, it can be said that the big hit via the small hit is substantially promised. Accordingly, during the non-short-time gaming state, the big hit that will shift to the short-time gaming state after the big hit game, specifically, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit type 2 with a distribution rate of 50% in the first special figure display device SD1. When “B” is derived, two big hits are almost promised including the big hit.

When a big hit game is executed during the short-time game state, the game goes to the non-short-time game state after the big hit game regardless of the direct hit big hit / small hit big hit and the special figure type (see FIGS. 16B to 16E). ).
However, as shown in FIGS. 16 (c) and 16 (e), when the big hit according to the second special figure is allocated during the short-time game state, after the big-hit game, the game shifts to the short-time game state again.
However, during the non-short-time gaming state, regardless of whether it is a direct hit big hit / small hit via big hit, if you win a big hit according to the second special figure, it will transition to the short-time gaming state again, including the big hit, Two big hits are almost promised. As described above, since the probability that the small hit symbol “E” that causes the second small hit game to be executed on the second special figure display device SD2 is very high is about 1 / 4.4, the time is shortened. Expected value for big hit via small hits in the hold according to the number of the second special figure hold stored by winning to the second start port 32 in the time save game state when falling from the game state to the non-short game state Will change.

  Specifically, when the number of second special figure holdings is the maximum of 4 when falling from the time-saving gaming state to the non-time-saving gaming state, the expected value for the big hit via small hits within the holding is about In the case of 64.3% and 3 pieces, it is about 53.9%, in the case of 2 pieces, it is 40.3%, and in the case of 1 piece, it is 22.7%.

  As described above, during the non-time saving game state, regardless of whether the direct hit big hit / small hit big hit, if the big hit according to the second special figure is allocated, it will shift to the short time gaming state again, Since two big hits are almost promised, whether or not to win a big hit in the second special figure hold when falling from the short-time gaming state to the non-time-short gaming state It becomes the barrier. Therefore, the second special figure holding number when falling from the short-time gaming state to the non-short-time gaming state is an important point for the player.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention, the operation pattern of the shutter mechanism 55 in the small hit game is set in consideration of the time required for the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a in the short-time game state, thereby reducing the short-time game. Before the big hit via big hit is started during the state, the number of second special figure reservations can be surely increased to four.

  As a result, the number of second special figure reservations when falling from the time-saving gaming state to the non-time-saving gaming state can be set to the maximum of approximately four. As a result, the expected value for the big hit via the small hit within the hold can be regarded as a fixed value of about 64.3%, and the design of the ball is facilitated as compared with the case where the expected value fluctuates.

<Special drawing variable time lottery processing>
Since the logics of the first special figure variable time lottery process and the second special figure variable time lottery process are substantially the same, the logic will be described below as the special figure variable time lottery process.
In the special figure fluctuation time lottery process, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined according to the random number to be drawn, the gaming state at the time of the lottery, and the result of the special figure lottery process. The special figure fluctuation time is determined according to the special figure fluctuation pattern.

In the special drawing lottery process, when a big win is won and a small win is won, a special drawing fluctuation time lottery is performed based on a dedicated special drawing fluctuation time lottery table.
On the other hand, when the special figure lottery process is off, the special figure variation time lottery is performed according to the gaming state at the time of executing the special figure lottery process and the number of reserved special figures to be drawn.
Specifically, when the number of special drawings to be drawn is large, the special drawing variation time is relatively short compared to the case where the number of special drawings is small, and during the short-time gaming state, the non-short-time gaming state is set. Compared to this, the logic is used so that the special figure variation time is relatively short.

  In addition, the special figure fluctuation time when winning a big hit in the special drawing lottery process during the short-time gaming state is one time of the ordinary electric accessory 32a in the simultaneous short gaming state regardless of the special figure type / big hit type. It is set to be longer than the time required for operation. Similar to the operation pattern of the shutter mechanism 55 at the time of the small hit game described above, the second special figure holding number is substantially reduced by setting the big hit fluctuation time longer than the time required for one operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a. The maximum of 4 can be surely set.

<Reservation prefetching processing according to the second special figure in the non-time-saving gaming state>
As described above, whether or not to win a big hit in the second special figure holding when falling from the short-time gaming state to the non-short-time gaming state is a second barrier. Also, for example, if there are 3 or more holds that are big hits or small hits in the second special figure hold,
Big hit for the first hold: Because it is in a non-temporary gaming state, it shifts to a short-time gaming state after a big hit game. A big hit for the second hold: in a short-time gaming state, after a big hit game, a non-temporary gaming state The big hit for the third hold: Since it is in the non-short-time gaming state, it shifts to the short-time gaming state after the big hit game, and the big hit is substantially promised during the short-time gaming state. Renso will be confirmed. On the other hand, when there is a big hit or a small hit in the second special figure hold and the number is one or two, the big hit two consecutive villas are substantially determined.

  In addition, as described above, the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention is in the short-time gaming state before the game ball that has won the first big winning opening 50 in the second small hit game in the short-time gaming state passes the specific area 56. It is designed so that the maximum number of second special figure hold is 4 before the big hit fluctuation ends, so the number of second special figure hold during the big hit game is maximum 4 .

For this reason, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention, when the big hit game is executed in the short-time game state, whether there is a big hit or a small hit in the second special figure hold, and if there are, Depending on whether or not there are three or more, there is a specification for lottery of the type of end demonstration effect of the jackpot game.
Specifically, when there is no big hit or small hit hold in the second special figure hold, the normal effect is selected as the end demonstration effect.
In addition, if there is a big hit or a small win in the second special figure hold, and the number is one or two, the normal demonstration with a probability of 25% as the end demonstration production, a probability of 75% To select medium expectation level.
Further, in the second special figure holding, there is a big hit or a small hit, and when the number is three or more, the high expectation degree effect is selected.

As a result, when the high expectation effect is executed as the end demonstration effect of the big hit game, there are three or more holds that are big hits or small hits in the second special figure hold, that is, the big hit 4 Renso is finalized.
In addition, when a medium-expected degree effect is executed as an end demonstration effect of a big hit game, there are one or two holds that become a big hit or a small hit in the second special figure hold, that is, a big hit game Two consecutive villas are confirmed.
Furthermore, as a normal demonstration is performed as a big hit game end demonstration production, although the expectation level is low, there may be one or two big hits or small hits on hold, and there is no big hit consecutive resort. It's not impossible to expect.

  Since the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention employs a so-called special 2 priority digestion system, if there is a special 2 hold at the end of the big hit game, the special 2 hold is continuously digested until the special 2 hold disappears. Will be. The period during which the special 2 hold is continuously consumed is defined as a continuous production period, and at the start of the continuous production, whether or not there is a big hit or a small win in the second special figure hold. In some cases, a specification for lottery of the type of the continuous effect may be adopted depending on whether the number is three or more. In addition, the color and shape of the hold icon displayed on the effect display device 37 corresponding to each special 2 hold at the time of starting the continuous play are different depending on whether the hold is off and the hold on a big hit or a small hit. If this is the case, the player can grasp the time and number of reservations that will be a big hit and a small hit by the color and shape of the hold icon.

  The present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine.
