A special decorative drawing is displayed in a fixed stop at any one of the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of the symbol row (for example, the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of the middle symbol row), thereby giving a predetermined big hit game or a small hit game. It is configured so that it can be recognized. A symbol combination of decorative figures that can recognize the possibility of occurrence of the big hit game or the small hit game becomes a 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 an opportunity to execute a predetermined performance (for example, a predetermined big hit game or a small hit game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. is there. 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)). As described above, the specific symbol combination is a symbol pattern combination that can be selected not only as the off-line display result but also as the winning display result (big hit display result or small hit display result).

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the first embodiment, the left symbol row 26a, 44a and the right symbol row 26c, 44c) among the plurality of symbol rows, In addition, since the remaining symbol rows (in the first embodiment, the middle symbol rows 26b and 44b) are displayed in a variable manner (reach display), the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. ing. 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. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing 2 is not limited to one-to-one, so that the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing 2. It has become.

(About the ball passage gate 46)
As shown in FIG. 2, on the right side of the frame-shaped decorative body 25, a ball passage gate (normal entry portion) 46 through which pachinko balls flowing down the game area 75 (second path 75b) can pass (enter). Is provided. The sphere passage gate 46 is provided with a sphere passage detection sensor 47 (see FIG. 10). The sphere passage detection sensor 47 detects a pachinko ball passing through the sphere passage gate 46.

(About probability change)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment has a function of providing a first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special prize opening is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable 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. Gives a probability variation state that changes the probability of winning the jackpot (hit probability) from a low probability (1 / 199.00 in the first embodiment) to a high probability (1 / 91.40 in the first embodiment) after the game) It is a function that makes it possible. 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 the first embodiment, when the probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is continuously given until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) is executed after the end of the big hit game. In the first embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until 100 symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) are executed. 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. 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, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated.

  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”. The probability variation count is set in a probability variation count counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the value of the counter is decremented by 1 for each symbol variation effect (for each special diagram variation display), and is set to “0”. When it becomes, the probability variation flag is set to “0”.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege gaming state (second gaming state) as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31a on the right is compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is increasing. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b that opens the right second start winning opening 31a, it is possible to increase the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the right second starting winning opening 31a. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b for opening the right second start winning port 31a for one time per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b. This can be realized by increasing the number of times the opening / closing member 31b is opened, or these may be combined. In the first embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the first example is set to combine the above (1) to (3). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the right second start winning opening 31a is improved.

  In other words, in the first embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the non-variable state is set to 6000 ms, and the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the variable state is set. The variation time is set to 520 ms, which is shorter than that of the non-variable state, and the variation time of the normal variation display performed in the general diagram display unit 55 is shortened with the provision of the variable state. In addition, the winning probability of the determination per map in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (16384/65536 in the first embodiment), and the winning probability of the determination per map in the variable state is a high probability (Example) 1 is set to 65535/65536), and the winning probability of the determination for the normal drawing varies from a low probability to a high probability in accordance with the provision of the variable state. In the first embodiment, the interval from when the normal map is confirmed and stopped until the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 500 ms. In the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 31b is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state in which the variable speed state is not given, when a win is selected with a normal map display (in the case of a normal map), a predetermined value is obtained after the opening / closing member 31b of the right second start winning portion 31 is opened. The opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until the time (300 ms in the first embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state where the variable speed state is given, when the normal map change display is won (in the case of the normal map), the opening / closing member 31b of the right second start winning portion 31 is opened for a predetermined time ( In the first embodiment, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until 5800 ms) elapses. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening / closing member 31b of the right second start winning portion 31 is longer than the state where the variable state is not given, which is advantageous for the player. It is set to work. In addition, the upper limit number of winnings (5 in the first embodiment) that allows winning to the right second start winning opening 31a per one ordinary figure is set, and winning after the opening and closing member 31b is opened. The opening / closing member 31b is closed when the number reaches the winning upper limit number (closing condition).

  Here, as described later, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, “1” is set to the variable flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the variable state is given. If not, the variable flag is set to “0”. Further, the number of times of change is set in a change number of times counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c. "", The variable flag is set to "0".

  In the first embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects the pachinko ball in the specific round and gives a probable change state after the big hit game is finished in the specific round in the first embodiment. In addition, the main control CPU 60a is set to determine that the variable state is continuously given until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) is executed after the end of the big hit game. In the first embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the variable state is set to be continuously given until 100 symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. When the main control CPU 60a determines that the certain change state is not given after the big hit game is finished by not detecting the pachinko ball in the specific round of the big hit game, the main control CPU 60a It is set to decide not to give a variable state after the game is over. That is, the main control CPU 60a decides to give a bonus when the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects a pachinko ball during a specific round of the big hit game, and decides to give a winning rate improvement state (variable state). It has a function as a means.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment will be described. The jackpot game is set to start after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special chart display portions 50A and 50B as a result of the special chart fluctuation display, and after the opening effect indicating the start of the jackpot game, The game is composed of a round game that is repeated by a specified number of rounds to be performed (5 rounds or 15 rounds in the first embodiment) with an interval time between rounds, and an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game. In the round game, the opening / closing members 33b and 35b of the special winning portions 33 and 35 are opened and closed in accordance with the type of the big hit game that has occurred, and the specified number of special winning openings 33a and 35a in the single round game. One round game ends when (for example, nine) pachinko balls win or when a prescribed time (round game time) has elapsed since the start of each round game. In addition, during each round game in the big hit game, an interval time between rounds in which the opening and closing members 33b and 35b are held in a closed state for a predetermined time is set. That is, in the big hit game, the opening / closing members 33b and 35b perform an opening / closing operation equal to or more than the prescribed round number of each big hit game.

  Here, the opening / closing mode (opening / closing pattern) of the opening / closing members 33b, 35b of the special winning portions 33, 35 in each round game of the jackpot game is a single opening operation (opening) under the condition of continuously firing pachinko balls. (The operation from closing to closing) is configured with a long-time opening operation in which the specified number of pachinko balls determined for the round game continue to open for the time that can be won

(About types of jackpot games)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, when a big hit determination is won, one big hit game is determined from among a plurality of types (two types in the first embodiment) of big hit games having different values to be given to the player. The jackpot game that was played is awarded. Here, of the two types of jackpot games, which jackpot game will be awarded, as shown in FIG. 3, the jackpot symbol determined when winning the jackpot determination (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) It is determined based on the type. The special figure 1 as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A in the first embodiment (100 special drawings 1 in the first embodiment) is classified into two groups, the symbol A and the symbol B. When the special figure 1 which is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A is a big hit symbol, a big hit game corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol (designs A and B) is given. Further, the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B in the first embodiment (100 special figures 2 in the first embodiment) are all classified into the symbol a, and the second special figure is displayed. When the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the figure display unit 50B is a big hit symbol, the same type of big hit game is given. In addition, in the special figure 1 as 100 kinds of jackpot symbols, 65 types are assigned to the symbol A and 35 types are assigned to the symbol B.

(About the first jackpot game)
The special figure 1 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol A is displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A, or the special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol a is displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. In such a case, the first big hit game (special hit game) is given as the big hit game. When the main control CPU 60a determines the first jackpot game, the first jackpot game includes the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 and the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35. It is set as a big hit game that opens for a long time. Moreover, in the specific round (5 rounds in Example 1) which opens the 2nd opening-and-closing member 35b of the 2nd special prize-winning part 35, it sets so that the said distribution body may carry out attitude | position displacement from a 1st attitude | position to a 2nd attitude | position. . That is, in the first big hit game, the pachinko ball can be won in the specific area by displacing the guide body to the second posture in a specific round, so that a probable state is given with high probability after the big hit game is finished. It is set as a jackpot game that can be played. In the first big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects the pachinko ball in a specific round (5 rounds in the first embodiment) and gives a probable change state. If it is decided, after the jackpot game is finished, until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) is executed (100 times in the first embodiment), the probability variation state and the variation state Is continuously granted. In the first jackpot game, if it is not decided to give a certain change state on condition that the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 does not detect a pachinko ball in a specific round, the change state is given. It is set not to decide.

  The first jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the upper limit number of winnings in each round is set to “9”. In the first jackpot game, in the first to fourth rounds and the sixth to fifteenth rounds, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is opened for a long time, and the fifth round. In the second round (specific round), the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 is set to open for a long time. In the first jackpot game, “25.00 (seconds)” is set as one round time in all rounds, and the first opening / closing member 33b or the second opening / closing member 35b is the maximum in each round. It is set to perform an opening operation (long-time opening operation) for a long time of “25.00 (seconds)”.

(About the second jackpot game)
When the special figure 1 as the big hit symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A, the second big hit game (special hit game) is given as the big hit game. Yes. When the second big hit game is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the second big win game includes the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 and the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35. It is set as a big hit game that opens for a long time. Moreover, in the specific round (5 rounds in Example 1) which open | releases the 2nd opening-and-closing member 35b of the 2nd special prize-winning part 35, it sets so that the said distribution body may be hold | maintained in a 1st attitude | position. That is, in the second big hit game, since the pachinko ball cannot be won in the specific area by not changing the posture of the guide body to the second posture in the specific round, the probability variation state cannot be given after the big hit game ends. It is set as a big hit game.

  The second jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “5”, and the upper limit number of winnings in each round is set to “9”. In the second jackpot game, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is set to open for a long time in all rounds. In the second jackpot game, “25.00 (seconds)” is set as one round time in all rounds, and the first opening / closing member 33b is set to “25.00 (seconds) at each round. ) "For a long period of time (opening operation for a long time).

  In the first embodiment, in the first jackpot game (symbol A, a), the guide body switches from the first posture to the second posture in the specific round, whereas in the second jackpot game (symbol B), the specific round The guide body is set to be held in the first posture. In other words, the second jackpot game (symbol B) has a 0% probability of being given a probability variation state, whereas the first jackpot game (symbol A, a) has a second jackpot game (symbol B). ) Is set as a big hit game with a higher probability of being given a certain probability change state. In addition, the number of rounds of the first jackpot game is set to 15 and the number of rounds of the second jackpot game is set to 5, which is also the first in terms of the number of winning balls that the player can obtain. This jackpot game is more advantageous than the second jackpot game. That is, the first jackpot game is set as a jackpot game (win game) that is more advantageous to the player than the second jackpot game. Note that the type of jackpot game is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate.

  In addition, the pachinko ball detection probability by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 is changed by changing the posture change pattern in which the guide body switches between the first posture and the second posture according to the type of jackpot game (type of symbol). May be configured so that the probability of giving the probability variation state (variation state) changes. Also, regardless of the type of jackpot game (type of symbol), the second opening / closing member according to the type of jackpot game (type of symbol) while switching the guide body from the first posture to the second posture in a specific round. It is also possible to change the detection probability of the pachinko sphere by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 by changing the open pattern (open time etc.) of 35b.

  Here, in the first embodiment, when the big hit determination (hit determination) triggered by winning the first start winning portion 29 is determined to be a big hit, either the first big win game or the second big win game On the other hand, when it is determined that a big hit is determined in the big hit determination (win determination) triggered by winning the second start winning portion 30, 31, the first big win game is given. It is configured. That is, the first jackpot game that is awarded when the big hit determination (hit determination) triggered by winning the second start winning portion 30, 31 is determined to be the first start winning portion 29. This is more advantageous to the player than the second jackpot game given when the jackpot determination (winning determination) is determined as a big hit. In other words, if the pachinko ball is awarded to the second start winning section 30, 31 and the opportunity for the jackpot determination is increased, the pachinko ball is awarded to the first start winning section 29 and the opportunity for the jackpot determination is increased. It is easy to give a big hit game that is advantageous to the user.

(About small hit games)
Next, the small hit game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment will be described. The small hit game is set to start after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure display units 50A and 50B as a result of the special figure variation display, and the opening / closing operation according to the type of the small hit game generated. Thus, after the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is opened / closed, an ending effect indicating the end of the small hit game is set. Here, in the small hit game, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is provided only for a time when several pachinko balls can be won or the pachinko balls cannot be won under the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired. An opening and closing operation is configured to be performed. That is, in the small hit game, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is subjected to an opening operation including a short time opening operation (short time opening) in which an opening time is set shorter than the long time opening operation. It constitutes a hit game to be performed. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit determination. That is, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit determination, the probability change state is continuously given even after the small hit game is finished, while if the probability change state is not given, the probability change state is also given after the small hit game is finished. It will not be granted. In addition, if the short state is given at the time of winning the small hit determination, the short state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game. No variable state is given.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, one kind of small hit game that is given when the small hit determination is won is set, and the small hit game has a release time of “1.0 (second). ) "Is set to be performed once by the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33. In the first embodiment, one type of small hit game is set. However, a plurality of types of small hit games having different opening operation modes (time and number of times of opening) of the first opening / closing member 33b may be set. When a plurality of types of small hit games are set, the type of the small hit game may be determined in accordance with the type of the small hit symbol stopped and displayed on the special figure display units 50A and 50B.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, when winning the small hit determination (the main control CPU 60a determines that it is a win), the change time and change contents of the special figure change display (design change effect) after the small hit game The special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to in order to determine a special figure fluctuation pattern, which will be described later, is specified (the table group is changed from PG1 to PG2). That is, in the first embodiment, the small hit is set as a specific hit for changing the special figure variation pattern table. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the change in the special figure variation pattern table is determined based on the type of the small hit symbol (special figure 1 and special figure 2) that is determined when the small hit determination is won. It has become. In the first embodiment, the special figure 1 as a small hitting symbol that can be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A (10 kinds of special figures 1 in the first embodiment) is classified into the symbols C and D. When the special figure 1 displayed in the special figure display unit 50A is confirmed and stopped, the special figure variation pattern table is changed while the special figure variation pattern table is changed, while the special figure displayed in the first special figure display unit 50A is stopped and displayed. When FIG. 1 is a small hit symbol of symbol D, it is set not to change the special symbol variation pattern table. Similarly, the special figure 2 (10 special figures 2 in the first embodiment) as the small hits that can be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B in the first embodiment is classified into the symbols c and d. 2 When the special figure 2 displayed on the special figure display unit 50B is confirmed and stopped, the special figure variation pattern table is changed while the special figure variation pattern table is changed, and the fixed figure is displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. When the special figure 2 is a small hit symbol of the symbol d, the special figure variation pattern table is set not to be changed.

  In the first embodiment, as for the special figure 1 as 10 kinds of small hit symbols, one type is assigned to the symbol C and nine types are assigned to the symbol D. Further, in the special figure 2 as 10 kinds of small hit symbols, one type is assigned to the symbol c and nine types are assigned to the symbol d. In other words, the symbols C and c satisfying the conditions for changing the special-figure variation pattern table are determined for both the special Fig. 1 and the special Fig. 2 as the small hit symbol determined when winning the small hit determination. The probability is set to be lower than the probability of determining the symbols D and d that do not satisfy the condition for changing the special figure variation pattern table.

(About the game production mode)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment has a plurality of (three in the first embodiment) game effect modes in which the effect contents (display contents) of the symbol variation effects executed by the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are different. I have. Here, in the game effect mode, a game state suggestion image that suggests to the player whether or not the current game state is a probable change state and suggests to the player whether or not the game state is a change state is displayed. The first and second display devices 17 and 43 display the game effect. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, the game effect mode can be changed when a predetermined mode transition condition is satisfied.

A probability change mode corresponding to a gaming state (probability change / short change state) in which it is determined to give both the state and the short change state is set. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the mode change is made when the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative in the normal mode and the probability variation mode (more specifically, when the small hit symbol is the symbols C and c). A special mode is set as a condition (see FIGS. 11 to 13). This special mode is a special figure fluctuation pattern based on a specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and a specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2, which will be described later, as a special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. It is a mode corresponding to the gaming state for determining.

Note that the types of game effect modes are not limited to these, and other game effect modes can be set. Further, the game state suggestion images displayed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 in each of the game effect modes (the normal mode, the probability change mode, and the special mode) do not have to be one type, and these game effects are provided. A plurality of types of game state suggestion images can be set for each mode.

  The first and second display devices 17 and 43 are configured to display game state suggestion images having contents corresponding to the game effect mode. Specifically, the background image displayed on the back of the decorative drawing of the first and second display devices 17 and 43 is set to be different for each game effect mode, and the current game effect mode is determined from the type of the background image. Can be recognized by the player. In addition, in each game effect mode, some or all of the contents of the effect of the symbol variation effect (special pattern variation pattern and effect pattern described later) 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 game effect mode.

  Here, when shifting to the special mode with the determination result of the small hit determination being positive in the normal mode as a mode transition condition, the transition condition from the special mode to the normal mode is the special mode special mode. The number of changes in the figure change display (symbol change effect) and the case of winning in a specific hit (for example, a win where the second big hit game is awarded) can be mentioned, but other conditions can also be set is there.

Alternatively, a determination random number corresponding to the timing at which the detection signals of the second start winning detection sensors 37, 38, 39 are input to the main control CPU 60a is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The random number for judgment per special figure is used in the hit judgment (big hit judgment and small hit judgment) as to whether or not a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is generated as a result of the special figure change display (design fluctuation effect). It is a random number. In the first embodiment, 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per special figure, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). . Further, the special figure determining random number determines the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the special figure 2 to be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B according to the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Here, in the first embodiment, 111 integer values of “0” to “110” are set as the special figure determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). ing. Each value of the special figure determination random number includes a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display indicating the above-mentioned deviation, a random number corresponding to ten kinds of special figure displays indicating the winning of the small hit, and winning of the big hit Random numbers corresponding to the 100 types of special figure display shown are set, and the special figure 1 or second special figure display displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A in a fixed stop state according to the value of the special figure determining random number. The special figure 2 displayed in a fixed stop state on the part 50B is specified. That is, the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the first start prize detection sensor 37, and the second start prize is obtained. The special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the detection sensors 38 and 39. As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified according to the type of the jackpot game, and the special figure fluctuation display is performed by specifying the special figure 1 or the special figure 2. The type of jackpot game given after the end of (symbol variation effect) is specified. In the first embodiment, since one kind of small hit game is set as described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the small hit symbol are specified and given after the end of the symbol variation effect. The small hit game is also uniquely identified. That is, the special figure determining random number has a function as a random number for determining the type of winning game (big hit game or small hit game). In addition, as described above, there is a possibility that a probability change state and a variable state will be given after the big hit game for each type of big hit game, and the special figure determination random number will give a probability change state and a variable state. It also has a function as a random number.

  The special figure variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining one special figure variation pattern from a plurality of special figure variation patterns that specify the production time in the symbol combination effect. In the embodiment, 251 kinds of integer values from “0” to “250” are set as random numbers for distributing the special figure variation pattern, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes.

  In the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, the random number for determining the special figure, the random number for determining the special figure, and the random number for distributing the special figure are sent to the first start winning opening 29a or the second starting winning opening 30a, 31a. Each time temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by winning (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensor 37 or the second start winning detection sensor 38, 39 has detected a pachinko ball) The main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers at the same timing. In addition, each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 30a, 31a. Are commonly used, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 29a, 30a, 31a.

  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 at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the first 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 ball 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. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Further, the passage (entrance) detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko sphere passes through the ball passage detection sensor 47 is a predetermined map storage area ( The storage area is temporarily stored and held. In the case where the general map start storage information is stored in the main control RAM 60c in the order in which it is stored, the general map storage area is determined. In the order stored in the main control RAM 60c, the normal start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a.

  The random number for determining per common figure is a per-standard figure that allows the pachinko ball to be awarded to the second start winning opening 31a by opening the opening / closing member 31b of the right second start winning part 31 as a result of the normal figure fluctuation ( This is a random number used in the normal figure determination (ordinary hit determination) for determining whether or not the normal hit. In the first embodiment, 65536 kinds of integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). . The random number for determining the normal figure variation pattern is a random number used for determining the normal figure fluctuation pattern that defines the fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation in the normal figure fluctuation display. In the first embodiment, nine integer values from “0” to “8” are set as random numbers for normal pattern variation pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). ing. Then, the passage detection information temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by the passage of the pachinko ball through the ball passage gate 46 (more specifically, the ball passage detection sensor 47 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a acquires the random number for determining the normal map and the random number for determining the normal pattern variation pattern at the same timing.

(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 first embodiment, the number at which the winning probability of the jackpot is 1 / 91.40) is the jackpot value set in the non-probability variation state. It is set to be larger than the number of determination values (in the first embodiment, the number at which the jackpot winning probability is 1 / 199.00). That is, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, the jackpot is likely to occur.

  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. Here, in the first embodiment, the special value for determining the special figure is set to an integer value of “0” to “110” corresponding to the 111 types of special figure determining random numbers described above. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are individually associated with each determination value.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a small hit determination value indicating that a small hit is generated as a result of the special symbol variation display (design variation effect). The small hit determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a small hit (small hit determination) using the special figure determination random number when the result of the big hit determination is negative (not a big hit), A predetermined number of determination values are determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for determination per special figure (in the first embodiment, all 65536 integers from “0” to “65535”). That is, the special figure per-determination random number is a random number used in the big hit determination and the small hit determination. Note that it is also possible to individually set a big hit determination random number for big hit determination and a small hit determination random number for small hit determination as the special figure determination random numbers. Here, the small hit determination value is triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 37, or the winning information (random number for determination per special figure) is acquired, or triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensors 38, 39. The number of determination values set varies depending on whether winning information (random numbers for determination per special figure) has been acquired. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values set when winning information (random numbers for determination per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 37 (in the first embodiment, the small hit determination value). Is a small hit determination value that is set when winning information (random numbers for determination per special figure) is acquired in response to detection by the second start winning detection sensors 37 and 38. (In the first embodiment, the number that the winning probability per unit is 1/30) is set. That is, a small hit game is more likely to occur when triggered by the detection of the second startup prize detection sensors 38 and 39 than when triggered by the detection of the first startup prize detection sensor 37.

  Here, the small hit determination value is associated with each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the small hit symbol, and as described above, the special figure 1 as the ten types of small hit symbols is the symbol C. 1 type and 9 types are assigned to symbol D, and special figure 2 as 10 types of small hits symbols is assigned to symbol c, and 9 types are assigned to symbol d. As for the small hit symbol determined when winning the determination, the probability that the symbols C and c are determined is 10% in both the special diagrams 1 and 2, and the probability that the symbols D and d are determined is 90%. In other words, the probability that the special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern after the small hit game will be changed when the small hit is won is set to 10%. In addition, the probability of changing the special figure variation pattern table for determining the special figure variation pattern after a small hit game when winning a small bonus is not limited to 10%. Of course, it can be arbitrarily set by changing the distribution ratio of the figure.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change display. 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”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of standard values per map (65535 in the first embodiment) set in the variable state is the number of standard values set per non-variable state (implemented). In Example 1, it is set more than 1125). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  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 content that is the basic base of the display contents of the symbol variation effect, 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 manner 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 for each special figure fluctuation pattern depending on the game effect mode. A specific special figure variation pattern distribution determination value is defined. 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 or when the result of the small hit determination is affirmative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for loss is a special figure fluctuation pattern selected when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination and small 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. . Note that the reach effect is a winning display (big hit display or small hit display) or off display after the symbol combination of the effective symbols that will be reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the first or second display device 17, 43. This is an effect that is performed until the symbol combination of the decorative drawing 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, as an effect suggesting the possibility of a winning display being displayed, the decorations of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c are continuously performed multiple times in one symbol combination 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 hit display is displayed by the notice effect that suggests the possibility of being hit by the device 17 or the second display device 43, or by the sound of the lamp device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19. There is a notice effect.

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). 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 table switching means for switching the special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation pattern tables PTA1 and PTA2 to the specific fluctuation pattern tables PTC1 and PTC2.

  In addition, the main control CPU 60a, when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the big hit determination means is a big hit), the winning rate improvement state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the right second start winning opening 31a is high. A variable state granting unit that functions as a winning rate improvement state determination unit that determines whether or not to grant (shortening state) and that grants a variable state only during a period during which a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the big hit game is granted It is functioning as well. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines a period from the end of the big hit game until a predetermined number of special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is executed as a winning rate improvement state granting period. It is like that. As described above, the main control CPU 60a is advantageous to the player after the winning game based on the winning to the first starting winning portion 29 or the second starting winning portions 30, 31 when the determination result of the hit determination is winning. It has a function as a privilege state determination means for determining whether to grant a privilege state (probability change state, variable state). Further, the main control RAM 60c performs the special figure fluctuation display while the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are performing the symbol fluctuation effect (that is, the first and second special figure display sections 50A and 50B). The winning information acquired during the operation) functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of pieces of winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 37 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the first display device 17 or the first special figure display unit 50A) is the first. While the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and the display means (second display device 43 and second special figure display unit 50B) stored as one start hold information, the second start winning detection sensors 38 and 39 It functions as a second hold storage means for storing the winning information acquired upon detection as the second start hold information.

  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.

(Special drawing input process)
In the 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 29a of the first start winning section 29 (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 37 corresponding to the first start winning opening 29a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for determination of special figures and random numbers of random numbers for distribution of special figure fluctuation patterns) from the main control RAM 60c, The winning information (random number value) is set as first special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning ports 30a, 31a of the second start winning units 30, 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensors 38 and 39 corresponding to the second start winning ports 30a and 31a detect pachinko balls has been input. . If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process. In the first embodiment, the second special figure start hold information is displayed in the order of winning to the second start winning ports 30a, 31a without distinguishing the left second start winning port 30a and the right second start winning port 31a. Acquired and the upper limit number of the number of holds is set to four.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for determination of special figures and random numbers of random numbers for distribution of special figure fluctuation patterns) from the main control RAM 60c, The winning information (random number value) is set as second special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine 10 according to the first 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 at the same time. The first special figure starting process based on winning in the start winning section 29 and the second special figure starting process based on winning in the second starting winning section 30, 31 can be executed in parallel. . Further, the main control CPU 60a executes the first special figure start process and the second special figure start process at predetermined intervals (4 ms in the first embodiment).

(About the first special figure start process)
In the first special figure starting process, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 60a displays that the special figure 1 is in a variable display on the first special figure display unit 50A and the first display device 17, or a big hit game or a small hit. It is determined whether or not a game is in progress (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 in step B11 is negative, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether or not the number of hold of the first special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). When the determination result of step B13 is negative (when the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. The main control CPU 60a also stores a special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the first special figure variation display is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the first special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14), and stores the first special figure stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a acquires figure start hold information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for special figure determination, and values of various random numbers such as random numbers for special figure variation pattern distribution) (step B15).

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

  When various random numbers as the first 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 it matches the stored big hit determination value (step B16). Note that, as described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination becomes affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) in the non-probable change state (low probability) is set to 1 / 1999.00, and the probability change state ( The probability that the determination result is affirmative (when the probability is high) (hit probability) is set to 1 / 91.40. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B16 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the first 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 a game effect mode flag indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. Specifically, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1” when the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the probability variation flag is set to “0” when the jackpot symbol is not a probability variation state. To do. The probability variation flag is set to “0” when the probability variation flag end condition is satisfied. Also, if the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that gives a variable state, the variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”, and if the big hit symbol that does not give a variable state, the variable flag is “0”. Set to. The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. Thus, the game effect mode is specified by the probability variation flag and the variation flag. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to special chart fluctuation pattern tables PTA1, PTB1, and PTC1 described later, and makes a hit based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from among the special figure fluctuation patterns (step B19).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B16 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (win lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit ( Step B21). In the first embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure determination random number obtained from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the small hit determination value. In addition, as described above, when winning information (random number for determining per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 37, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (that is, the small hit) (Probability) is set to 1/256. When the determination result of the small hit determination in step B21 is affirmative (when a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the first small hit flag indicating that the variation is a small hit. (Step B22). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1), which becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A, based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step 1). B23).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the small hit 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 small hit symbol is determined. The pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment is set to maintain the value of the probability variation flag and the variable flag at the time of the small hit determination, and does not change the value of the probability variable flag and the variable flag at the small hit. It is configured as follows. When the small hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA1, PTB1, and PTC1 described later, based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the special figure fluctuation patterns for winning (hit special figure fluctuation patterns) (step B24). The main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag indicating the game effect mode (game state) after the small hit game specified by the small hit symbol according to the determined small hit symbol. Specifically, when the small hit design is a small hit design (design C) to be transferred to the special mode, the special mode flag indicating the special mode is set to “1”, and the small hit design (design D is not changed to the special mode). ) Set the special mode flag to “0”.

  When the determination result of the small hit determination in step B21 is negative (that is, when the big hit and the small hit are not), the main control CPU 60a finally displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A. It determines as a stop symbol (special figure 1) (step B25). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA1, PTB1, and PTC1 described later, and selects one of the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. A special figure variation pattern is determined (step B26). In step B26, either the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing without executing the reach effect or the special figure fluctuation pattern for reaching for executing the reach effect is determined.

  The main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern in steps B19, B24, B26, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall 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. When the end condition of the probability change state or the variable state is satisfied, a probability change end command or a variable end command is output. Further, if the special mode termination condition is satisfied, a special mode termination command is output.

(About the second special figure start process)
Next, the second special figure start process will be described. The second special figure start process is the same as the first special figure start process. In the second special figure start process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a performs the second special figure display unit 50B and the second special figure display unit 50B. It is determined whether or not the special figure 2 is variably displayed on the 2 display device 43 or whether it is a big hit game or a small hit game (step C11). If the determination result of step C11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step C11 is negative, the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information is read (step C12), and whether the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step C13). When the determination result of step C13 is negative (when the number of holdings of the second special figure start holding information = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure starting process. The main control CPU 60a also stores a special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step C13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation display is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step C14), and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a acquires figure start suspension information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, random values for determining special figures, and random numbers such as random numbers for distributing special figure fluctuation patterns) (step C15).

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

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step C15, as shown in FIG. 8, 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 it matches the stored big hit determination value (step C16). Note that, as described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination becomes affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) in the non-probable change state (low probability) is set to 1 / 1999.00, and the probability change state ( The probability that the determination result is affirmative (when the probability is high) (hit probability) is set to 1 / 91.40. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step C16 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the second big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step C17). . Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special diagram 2) that becomes a big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B based on the acquired value of the special symbol determination random number (step C18). ).

  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 a game effect mode flag indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. Specifically, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1” when the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the probability variation flag is set to “0” when the jackpot symbol is not a probability variation state. To do. The probability variation flag is set to “0” when the probability variation flag end condition is satisfied. Also, if the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that gives a variable state, the variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”, and if the big hit symbol that does not give a variable state, the variable flag is “0”. Set to. The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. Thus, the game effect mode is specified by the probability variation flag and the variation flag. When the big hit symbol (special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA2, PTB2, and PTC2 to be described later, based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from among the special figure fluctuation patterns (step C19).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination of step C16 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (hit lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit (see FIG. Step C21). In the first embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the value of the special figure determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c at the time of the processing of step C15 matches the small hit determination value. In addition, as described above, when winning information (random number for determining per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensors 38 and 39, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (that is, The small hit probability) is set to 1/30. If the determination result of the small hit determination in step C21 is affirmative (if a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the second small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is a small hit. (Step C22). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B on the basis of the acquired special figure determining random number (Step 2). C23).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the small hit symbol of Special Figure 2, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired value of the special figure determination random number. By determining, the small hit symbol is determined. The pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment is set to maintain the value of the probability variation flag and the variable flag at the time of the small hit determination, and does not change the value of the probability variable flag and the variable flag at the small hit. It is configured as follows. When the small hit symbol (special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to special chart fluctuation pattern tables PTA2, PTB2, and PTC2 to be described later, based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the special figure fluctuation patterns for hitting (the hit special figure fluctuation pattern) (step C24). The main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag indicating the game effect mode (game state) after the small hit game specified by the small hit symbol according to the determined small hit symbol. Specifically, when the small hit symbol is a small hit symbol (design c) to be transferred to the special mode, the special mode flag indicating the special mode is set to “1”, and the small hit symbol (symbol d) that is not shifted to the special mode is set. ) Set the special mode flag to “0”.

  When the determination result of the small hit determination of step C21 is negative (that is, when the big hit and the small hit are not), the main control CPU 60a finally displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. It determines as a stop symbol (special figure 2) (step C25). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA2, PTB2, and PTC2 to be described later, and selects one special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. A special figure variation pattern is determined (step C26). In step C26, either the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing without executing the reach effect or the special figure fluctuation pattern for reaching for executing the reach effect is determined.

  The main control CPU 60a which has determined the special figure variation pattern in the steps C19, C24 and C26 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing (step C20). 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 start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the second special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the final stop symbol determined based on the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display content of the 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. When the end condition of the probability change state or the variable state is satisfied, a probability change end command or a variable end command is output. Further, if the special mode termination condition is satisfied, a special mode termination command is output.

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

  In the hit fluctuation stop process shown in FIG. 9, when one of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display stops at the 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 hit 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 performs special processing regardless of the value of the random number for determination per special figure acquired by the detection of the start winning detection sensors 37, 38, 39. The symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the display units 50A and 50B is determined as the final stop symbol (special symbol), and the subtraction of the corresponding variation timer is stopped and the time of the variation timer is set to “0”. The main control CPU 60a is set to stop the fluctuation of the other special figure before the winning game based on the special figure displayed on one hit is started if the determination result in step D12 is affirmative. Yes. That is, it is possible to prevent any of the symbol variation displays in the two special symbol display portions 50A and 50B from being stopped by the hit display, or to stop the symbol variation display from being stopped by the hit display in the special symbol display portions 50A and 50B. It is configured to Further, 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 sub-control CPU 65 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 first embodiment, when the determination result of the step D12 is affirmative, the result of the hit determination based on the winning information corresponding to the changing special-figure display is either hit or miss. Since one special figure fluctuation display during simultaneous fluctuation is stopped by the hit display, the other special figure fluctuation display that was stopped and displayed by the deviation is originally This prevents the player from recognizing whether it was a hit or a miss.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are classified for each game effect mode, and an effect pattern corresponding to the special figure variation pattern is selected from the effect patterns that can be selected in the game effect mode. Further, when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall 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. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, and 44c are determined, and when the symbol specified by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a small hit symbol, The decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c is determined so that it may become.

  In addition, based on the special figure 1 designation command and the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, a game production mode (gaming state) serving as a reference for determining the production pattern when the next symbol variation production is executed. The overall control CPU 65a sets a game effect mode flag indicating. 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, when the special figure 1 or 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 variable state is given, a variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”. ”And the variable flag is set to“ 0 ”when it corresponds to a big hit symbol that does not give a variable state. Furthermore, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the small hit symbol to be shifted to the special mode, the special mode flag is set to “1”. The special mode flag is set to “0” when it corresponds to a small hit symbol that is not shifted to the special mode.

  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 overall control CPU 65a 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 decorative chart stop timing of the left symbol rows 26a and 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.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. In addition, when the special figure variation pattern for the reach deviation effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the deviation including the reach formation symbol. On the other hand, the general 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 overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  The general control CPU 65a includes the types of jackpot symbols instructed by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, each designation command relating to the start and end of the probability variation state and the variation state, Based on the set value of the game effect mode flag, the type of the game effect mode is determined, and the game effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined game effect mode. The game effect mode flag includes information that can identify the game effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 65c. When the overall control CPU 65a updates the game effect mode flag, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command instructing the game 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 game 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 overall control CPU 65a. The main control CPU 60a and the overall control CPU 65a have a function as symbol variation effect determining means for determining the effect content specifying the content of the symbol variation effect.

(Determination of special figure fluctuation pattern)
Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the determination of the special figure variation pattern by the main control CPU 60a will be specifically described.

  A special figure variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a is determined for each game effect mode (gaming state), and the main control is selected from the types of special figure variation patterns (variation patterns) determined for each game effect mode. When the CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern), it is configured such that a specific symbol fluctuation (special figure fluctuation display and symbol fluctuation effect) is executed for each of these game effect modes. Specifically, the number of special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values assigned to each special figure fluctuation pattern set in the main control ROM 60b is determined for each special figure fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game presentation mode. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number from the special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to in the mode.

  Here, the special figure fluctuation patterns to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned do not have to be different in each special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, PTA2, PTB1, PTB2, PTC1, and PTC2. In the tables PTA1, PTA2, PTB1, PTB2, PTC1, and PTC2, the same special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value may be assigned to the same special figure fluctuation pattern. That is, the types of special figure variation patterns included in each special figure variation pattern table PTA1, PTA2, PTB1, PTB2, PTC1, and PTC2 do not have to be all different, and may be partially common. is there. The difference in the special figure variation pattern means that one or both of the contents and the variation time of the special figure variation display (design variation effect) specified by the special figure variation pattern are different.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, when the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative in the normal mode or the probability variation mode and the type of the small hit symbol is the symbols C and c, in the game after the small hit game The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns determined in the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 or the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2 included in the third table group PG3. It is set to do. That is, when a small hit game is performed (the winning symbol is won and the small hit symbols are symbols C and c), the special variation pattern table referred to by the main control CPU 60a to determine the special variation pattern. Is changed from the special figure fluctuation pattern table for normal use or probability change to a specific special figure fluctuation pattern table (specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 or specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2) ( (Predetermined condition).

  Next, the special figure fluctuation patterns set in each of the special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA1, PTA2, PTB1, PTB2, PTC1, and PTC2 included in the first to third table groups PG1, PG2, and PG3 will be described.

It has been. In the first embodiment, in the case of the normal mode, when neither the big hit determination or the small win determination triggered by winning the first start winning section 29 is won, the value of the random number for special pattern fluctuation pattern distribution If the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the outlier special map fluctuation pattern PA1 or the reach special figure fluctuation pattern PA2 and wins the jackpot determination, the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution is selected. When the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA3 based on the value and wins the small hit judgment, the small hit is made based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation pattern PA4.

  Specifically, in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 in the first embodiment, two types of outlier special figure fluctuation patterns PA1 and PA2 are set, and neither of the big hit judgment or the small hit judgment is won. In FIG. 1, the selection ratio of the detachment special figure fluctuation pattern PA1 and the reach special deviation fluctuation pattern PA2 based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 is 90% for the special deviation fluctuation pattern PA1 and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern PA2 is 10%. The number of assigned special figure variation pattern distribution determination values is set to be%. Further, normally, one type of big hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA3 is set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, and all the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA3. When the big hit determination is won, in the determination of the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA3 is decided by the main control CPU 60a. Further, normally, one kind of small hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA4 is set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, and all the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA4. In the determination of the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 when the small hit determination is won, the main hitting CPU special pattern fluctuation pattern PA4 is determined by the main control CPU 60a.

  Here, in the following description, the variation time specified by the outlier special map variation pattern PA1 is represented as TA1, the variation time identified by the reach special map variation pattern PA2 is represented as TA2, and the big hit special map variation pattern PA3. The specified variation time may be represented as TA3, and the variation time identified by the small hit special figure variation pattern PA4 may be represented as TA4. It should be noted that the number and type of special figure fluctuation patterns included in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 described above are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

  The fluctuation times specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns PA1 to PA4 included in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 are set to be different. More specifically, the variation time TA1 set in the loss special figure fluctuation pattern PA1 is set to 12 seconds, and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern PA2, the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA3, and the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern PA4 are set. The variable times TA2, TA3, and TA4 are set to 60 seconds. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, the expected fluctuation value of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) per fluctuation is averaged. This is referred to as time, and the average fluctuation time may be expressed as “VA1” in the following description.

(Normally about the 2nd special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2)
In the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, as shown in FIG. 11, the special figure fluctuation pattern pA1 and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 are set as the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing, and the common As the special figure fluctuation pattern, a big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3 and a small hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA4 are set, and special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to these special figure fluctuation patterns pA1 to pA4. ing. In the first embodiment, in the case of the normal mode, if neither the big hit determination or the small hit determination triggered by winning the second start winning portion 30, 31 is won, the random number for distributing the special figure variation pattern When the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the outlier special map fluctuation pattern pA1 and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 and wins the big hit determination, the special figure fluctuation pattern is allocated. When the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3 based on the random number value and wins the small hit judgment, it is based on the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern from the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA4.

  Specifically, in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 in the first embodiment, two types of outlier special figure fluctuation patterns pA1 and pA2 are set, and neither of the big hit determination or the small hit determination is won. In FIG. 2, the selection ratio of the outlier special map fluctuation pattern pA1 and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is normally 0%, the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA1 is 0%, and the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 is 100. The number of assigned special figure variation pattern distribution determination values is set to be%. That is, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment is determined based on the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, the main control CPU 60a does not decide the detachment special figure fluctuation pattern pA1. Further, in the normal mode, when the result of the hit determination based on the winning to the second start winning portion 30 or 31 is out of order, only the out-of-reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 is selected as the special figure fluctuation pattern. Is set. Further, one type of big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3 is normally set in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, and all the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3. When the big hit determination is won, in the determination of the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, normally, the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3 is decided by the main control CPU 60a. In addition, in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, one kind of small hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA4 is set, and all the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned to the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA4. In the determination of the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 when the small hit determination is won, the main hitting CPU special pattern fluctuation pattern pA4 is determined by the main control CPU 60a.

  Here, in the following description, the fluctuation time specified by the outlier special map fluctuation pattern pA1 is represented by tA1, the fluctuation time specified by the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 is represented by tA2, and the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3. The specified variation time may be represented as tA3, and the variation time identified by the small hit special figure variation pattern pA4 may be represented as tA4. It should be noted that the number and type of special figure fluctuation patterns included in the above-described normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

  The fluctuation times specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns pA1 to pA4 included in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 are specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns PA1 to PA4 included in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. It is set to be different from the fluctuation time. Specifically, the fluctuation times tA1, tA3, and tA4 set for the loss special figure fluctuation pattern pA1, the big hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA3, and the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern pA4 are each set to 3 seconds, and the reach special characteristic is different. The fluctuation time tA2 set in the figure fluctuation pattern pA2 is set to 1800 seconds. In the first embodiment, the fluctuation time tA1 (3 seconds) set in the special figure fluctuation pattern pA1 is the fluctuation time specified by all the special figure fluctuation patterns set in all the special figure fluctuation pattern tables. Among them, the variation time tA2 (1800 seconds) set in the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 is specified by all the special figure fluctuation patterns set in all the special figure fluctuation pattern tables. It is set to the longest in the fluctuation time.

  The fluctuation time tA2 (= 1800 seconds) specified by the out-of-reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 set in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is the special figure normally set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. The length is set to 30 times the longest variation time (60 seconds) specified by the variation patterns PA1 to PA4. In the first embodiment, the fluctuation time of the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA2 normally set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 is set to the longest, and the fluctuation time tA2 specified by the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 While the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) is being performed over a period of time, the reach off special figure fluctuation pattern PA2 is continuously determined by winning the first start winning portion 29. In this case, the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) based on the reach deviation special symbol variation pattern PA2 can be performed at the same time as the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) 30 times. It is like that. Note that the longest variation time normally set in the second variation pattern table PTA2 in which the main control CPU 60a determines the special-pattern variation pattern triggered by winning the second start winning portion 30, 31 is the first start winning portion 29. The main control CPU 60a only needs to be twice or more the longest fluctuation time set in the normal first fluctuation pattern table PTA1 for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern in response to the winning of. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, the expected fluctuation value of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) per fluctuation is averaged. It is referred to as time, and the average fluctuation time may be expressed as “VA2” in the following description.

  Further, as described above, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment based on the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, the reach set to the longest fluctuation time (1800 seconds) is lost. The special figure variation pattern pA2 is set to be determined 100%. Accordingly, the expected value (average fluctuation time) of the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) per fluctuation that becomes a deviation is normally determined by the main control CPU 60a based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. 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 special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is usually longer.

  Here, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing is determined when the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is set and neither of the big hit judgment and the small hit judgment is won, the selection ratio is the highest. Special pattern fluctuation pattern (in the first embodiment, it may be referred to as a special figure fluctuation pattern with the longest fluctuation time set in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, which is the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2). ) May be set in relation to the number of holds of the special figure start hold information. Specifically, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, the upper limit number of the first special figure start hold information is set to four, and the first special figure start hold information has four hold numbers. Since there is a possibility that the first special figure display unit 50A performs the first special figure fluctuation display, the fluctuation figure set in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is normally specified as the longest special figure fluctuation pattern. Is set to 5 times the longest fluctuation time (longest fluctuation time TM1) specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns PA1 to PA4 normally set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. To do. As described above, the longest fluctuation time TM2 specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern having the longest fluctuation time set in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is used as the fluctuation set by the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. By setting 5 times the longest fluctuation time TM1 specified by the longest special figure fluctuation pattern, the first special figure is displayed with the upper limit number (four) of the first special figure start hold information. In the situation where the first special figure fluctuation display is performed in the part 50A, the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern having the longest fluctuation time set in the second second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is started. 2nd special figure fluctuation display based on one special figure fluctuation pattern in the second special figure display unit 50B until the first special figure fluctuation display based on all the first special figure start hold information is completed. Continue It can be carried out. That is, when the upper limit number +1 of the number of holdings of the first special figure starting hold information +1 based on winning in the first starting winning unit 29 is K, the main control is triggered by winning in the second starting winning units 30 and 31 When the CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern, the longest fluctuation time (longest fluctuation time TM2) set in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table (fluctuation pattern table) PTA2 is a chance to win the first start winning section 29. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern as the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table (fluctuation pattern table) PTA1, and is K times the longest fluctuation time (longest fluctuation time TM1) (TM2 = K · TM1). Set to.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, the hold number can be stored up to the upper limit number set for each of the first and second special figure start hold information. However, the first and second special figure start hold information can be stored. Each special figure start hold information can be stored until the total number of both holds reaches the total upper limit number. In this configuration, one special figure start hold information is stored until the total upper limit number is reached. It becomes possible to do. Specifically, when the total upper limit number is set to 8, it is possible to store up to 8 hold numbers in the first or second special figure start hold information. Therefore, the maximum fluctuation time TM2 specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern with the longest fluctuation time set in the normal 2 special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is used as the special figure fluctuation pattern normally set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. It is set to 9 times the longest fluctuation time TM1 specified by PA1 to PA4. That is, in the situation where the first special figure change display is performed on the first special figure display unit 50A in the state where the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is the total upper limit number (eight), the second special figure is usually displayed. When the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern having the longest fluctuation time set in the fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is started, the first special figure fluctuation display based on all the first special figure start hold information is displayed. Until the process is completed, the second special figure change display based on one special figure change pattern can be continuously performed in the second special figure display unit 50B. In other words, when the total upper limit number +1 of the number of holdings in the special drawing start holding information based on winnings in the first and second starting winning units 29, 30, 31 is N, the second starting winning unit 30, 31 is entered. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern in response to the winning of the first special figure fluctuation pattern table (fluctuation pattern table) PTA2 is set to the longest fluctuation time (longest fluctuation time TM2), which is the first start prize. The main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern with the winning of the unit 29 as a trigger, and is N times the longest fluctuation time (longest fluctuation time TM1) set in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table (variation pattern table) PTA1. By setting (TM2 = N · TM1), the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information reaches the total upper limit, and the first special figure display is performed on the first special figure display unit 50A. When the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern with the longest fluctuation time normally set in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is started, all the first special figure start pending Until the first special figure fluctuation display based on the information is finished, the second special figure fluctuation display based on one special figure fluctuation pattern can be continuously performed in the second special figure display unit 50B.

  Here, the fluctuation times tA3, tA4 (tA3, tA4 = 3 seconds in the first embodiment) specified by the hit special figure fluctuation patterns pA3 to pA4 included in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 are normally The shortest fluctuation time is set among the fluctuation times specified by the special figure fluctuation patterns set in the first and normal second special figure fluctuation pattern tables PTA1 and PTA2. That is, in the normal mode, when the winning game is determined by the hit determination triggered by the winning of the second start winning portion 30, 31, the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is quickly finished and the determined winning game is determined. A game can be given. In other words, the expected value (average fluctuation time) of the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) per fluctuation, which is a hit where the hit game occurs, is usually based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1. 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 special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 is usually shorter.

(About special figure variation pattern tables PTB1 and PTB2)
In the second table group PG2, as shown in FIG. 12, the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern based on the winning to the first start winning section 29 (variation pattern). Table) PTB1 and a probability variation second special figure fluctuation pattern table (fluctuation pattern table) PTB2 in which the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern based on winning in the second start winning portion 30, 31 are set. Yes. In other words, the second table group PG2 determines the contents and the variation time of the symbol variation performed on the corresponding first special symbol display unit 50A (first display device 17) upon winning the first start winning unit 29. The contents of the symbol variation performed on the corresponding second special symbol display unit 50B (second display device 43) triggered by winning in the first variation pattern table PTB1 and the second start winning unit 30, 31 And a probability variation second special figure variation pattern table PTB2 that defines a variation time.

(Operation of Example 1)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, the left second start winning portion 30 is disposed in the first path 75a, and the right second start winning portion 31 is disposed in the second path 75b. Further, the first start winning portion 29 is arranged at a position where a pachinko ball flowing down the first path 75a and a pachinko ball flowing down the second path 75b can win. That is, the first start is performed in both cases where the player “left-handed” and the pachinko ball flows down the first path 75a and “right-handed” and the pachinko ball flows down the second path 75b. Pachinko balls can be won in the winning portion 29 and the second start winning portions 30, 31. In other words, the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment is configured to allow the first start winning portion 29 and the second start winning portions 30, 31 to win a pachinko ball without hitting pachinko balls. In the normal mode and the probability variation mode, the first special figure variation display (first symbol variation effect) triggered by winning the first start winning portion 29 and the second starting winning portions 30, 31 are won. Because it is configured to be able to perform the 2nd special figure change display (2nd figure change effect) at the same time as an opportunity, it can be changed simultaneously in both the normal mode and the probability change mode. And can be differentiated. In other words, compared to a pachinko machine that performs only one special figure change display (symbol change effect) that triggers the first start winning section 29 or the second start winning section 30, 31, a big hit determination (hit determination) ) Can be increased, the expected value as a winning can be improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, during the game in the normal mode, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2. In the normal mode, in the normal second special figure variation pattern table PTA2 in which the special figure variation pattern is determined in response to a prize in the second start prize section 30, 31, the first start prize section 29 is a chance. As a special figure fluctuation pattern is determined, an extraordinary reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 in which the fluctuation time is set to 30 times the longest fluctuation time set in the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 is set (see FIG. 11). Therefore, in the state where the second special figure display and the second symbol change effect based on the outlier reach special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 are performed on the corresponding second special figure display unit 50B and the second display device 43, The special figure display unit 50A and the first display device 17 can perform the first special figure fluctuation display and the first symbol fluctuation effect 30 times at the maximum. 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 In the special figure display section 50A), the first symbol variation effect (first special figure variation display) is repeatedly performed many times, so that the player can use any symbol based on winning in any of the start winning sections 29, 30, 31. It is possible to clearly know whether it is a fluctuating effect (special drawing fluctuating display) from the difference in fluctuating mode.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment shifts to the special mode after the small hit game is completed when the small hit symbol selected in the normal mode is the symbol C or c. To do. In this special mode, the special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to by the main control CPU 60a for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is obtained from the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2. Switching to the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2. As described above, the average fluctuation time VA1 when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1, and the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2. The difference from the average fluctuation time VA2 when determined is the average fluctuation time VC1 when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table. It is set to be different from the difference from the average fluctuation time VC2 when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the PTC2. Therefore, before and after winning the small hit judgment (hit judgment) (before and after the special figure fluctuation pattern table is switched), the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) and the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol). With the new game nature that changes the rhythm by changing the interval at which the fluctuation effect is performed, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous and enhance the interest.

  Further, in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, in the case of a deviation in the hit determination, the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern pA2 set to the longest fluctuation time among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment is determined. On the other hand, in the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2, in the case of a deviation in the hit determination, the deviation special figure fluctuation pattern pC1 set at the shortest fluctuation time among the special figure fluctuation patterns for deviation. Is set to be determined. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern with the winning of the second start winning portion 30, 31 as a condition for winning the small hit determination (win determination) (winning with symbols C and c) as a condition. By switching the special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to in FIG. 2 from the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 to the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2, before and after switching to the table PTC2, the second start winning portion It becomes possible to execute more of the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) based on the winning of 30,31 per unit time. In other words, it is possible to increase the number of executions of jackpot determination (hit determination), improve the expected value as a win, and improve the fun of the game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment has a special mode after the small hit game is ended when the small hit symbol selected for the small hit determination in the probability variation mode is the symbol C or c. Migrate to Then, the special control fluctuation pattern table referred to by the main control CPU 60a for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is specified from the probability variation first special figure variation pattern table PTB1 and the probability variation second special figure variation pattern table PTB2. Switching to the fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2. As described above, the main control CPU 60a switches the special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern to the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2. As in the case of switching from the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 to the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2, Before and after winning the judgment (winning judgment) (before and after the special figure variation pattern table is switched), the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) and the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) A new gameplay that changes the rhythm by changing the interval at which the game is played prevents the game from becoming monotonous Interest can be increased.

  Here, when the big hit determination (hit determination) triggered by winning the first start winning portion 29 is determined to be a big win, either the first big win game or the second big win game is awarded. On the other hand, the first jackpot game is configured to be awarded when the jackpot determination (winning determination) is determined to be a big hit in the second start winning section 30, 31. The player who wins the pachinko ball in the second start winning section 30 and 31 and increases the chance of the jackpot determination is more advantageous to the player than the player who wins the pachinko ball in the first start winning section 29 and increases the trigger of the jackpot determination It is easy to give a big hit game. That is, the average fluctuation time VC2 of the special figure fluctuation pattern of the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2 is the average fluctuation time VA2 of the special figure fluctuation pattern of the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 and the probability variation second special figure fluctuation pattern. Since it is set to be shorter than the average fluctuation time VB2 of the special figure fluctuation pattern of the table PTB2, the change to the special figure fluctuation pattern table is easy to give a big hit game advantageous to the player to the second start winning portions 30, 31. It is possible to increase the chance of jackpot determination by winning a pachinko ball, and to increase the interest of the player with respect to the jackpot and improve the interest of the game. In addition, in the probability variation mode, the second special figure fluctuation display advantageous to the player is likely to fluctuate. Therefore, the second special figure variation pattern table can be switched from the probability variation mode to the special mode to further change the second special figure variation pattern table. The figure display can be easily changed, and the fun of the game can be improved. Furthermore, since the change condition of the special figure variation pattern table is a small win (more specifically, a small win with symbols C and c), the player's interest in which win will be increased , Can improve the fun of gaming.

  The pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment includes a first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) based on the winning information acquired with the winning of the first starting winning portion 29 and the second starting winning portions 30, 31. When the 2nd special figure fluctuation display (2nd figure fluctuation production) based on the winning information acquired at the time of winning a prize is performed at the same time, if one special figure fluctuation display stops at the win display, Before the hit game based on is started, the special figure fluctuation display in the other fluctuation is forcibly removed 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.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the change condition (table change condition) of the special figure fluctuation pattern table used for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is won in a small win (specifically, the symbol C as a small hit symbol) In the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the change condition of the special figure fluctuation pattern table used for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is changed in the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect). Since the number of configurations is different and the other configurations are the same, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described for the pachinko machine of the second embodiment. In addition, the same members and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment of the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, the counting means 61 provided in the main control board 60 is set so as to increment the count value by one for each winning to the start winning portions 29, 30, 31. In addition, the counting means 61 displays a special figure variation display (symbol variation effect) after the winning game based on the winning information determined to be applicable when the main control CPU 60a determines that it is a winning in the winning determination (big hit determination or small hit determination). Is set to start counting. Then, when the count value of the counting means 61 reaches a preset number of times of switching, the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure fluctuation pattern table to which the main control CPU 60a refers to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern. (See FIG. 16). That is, the main control CPU 60a sets the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the main control CPU 60a as the fluctuation pattern determining means determines the special figure fluctuation pattern on the condition that the number of fluctuations of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) is the number of times of switching. The first special figure fluctuation is specified from the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 or the probability variation first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTB1 and the probability variation second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTB2. It has a function as table switching means for switching between the pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure variation pattern table PTC2.

  In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, the number of times of switching is set to be different depending on the type of hit (specifically, the type of symbol) determined by the main control CPU 60a. Here, in the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, as described above, when a special symbol as a big hit symbol classified into symbols A and a is displayed on the special symbol display units 50A and 50B as the type of hit, The winning of 1 jackpot game, and the winning of the second jackpot game when the special chart as the jackpot symbol classified as the pattern B is displayed on the first special chart display unit 50A, There are three types of hits to which a small hit game is awarded when a special figure as a small hit symbol classified into C, c, D, and d is displayed on the general figure display unit 55. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, 500 times is set as the number of times of switching in the case where the first jackpot game is awarded (symbol A, a), and the second jackpot game is awarded. 2000 is set as the number of times of switching in the case of winning (symbol B), and 1000 times is set as the number of times of switching in the case of winning (symbol C, c, D, d) where a small hit game is awarded. It should be noted that the number of times of switching set differently for each hit type described above is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

  In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, after the winning judgment is won in the normal mode and the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) based on the corresponding is finished, the counting means 61 is specially shown. Starts counting the number of changes in the change display (design change effect). Then, when the count value of the counting means 61 reaches the number of times of switching corresponding to the hit shown in FIG. In this special mode, a special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to by the main control CPU 60a for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern is specified from the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2. Switching to the first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2. Also in the probability variation mode, the count value of the counting means 61 that has started counting after winning the hit game (big hit game or small hit game) based on the hit has reached the number of switching corresponding to the win. If you do, go to special mode. Then, when the special figure variation pattern table is switched, the special figure after the winning game is the same as described in the first embodiment when the table change condition is won by the small win (winning with the symbols C and c). It is possible to change the rhythm in which the fluctuation display is performed before and after the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) reaches the number of times of switching, thereby preventing the game from becoming monotonous and enhancing the interest. In addition, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) has reached the number of switching times, as in the first embodiment, more special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is executed per unit time. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of executions of the hit determination (big hit determination, hit determination), improve the expected value as a win, and improve the fun of the game.

  In the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the number of fluctuations (number of times of switching) of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) until the special figure fluctuation pattern table is changed depending on the type of hit is different. Variations can be provided in the interval until the pattern table is changed, and the fun of the game can be improved. Further, it is possible to cause the player to guess the period until the special figure variation pattern table is changed, and the interest of the game after the hit game can be further improved. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment only in the changing conditions of the special figure variation pattern table, and therefore, other than the changing conditions of the special figure fluctuation pattern table in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. Needless to say, the effect obtained by the configuration can also be obtained in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment.

(About another example)
Next, another embodiment of the pachinko machine according to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 will be described. In Example 1 and Example 2, in order to prevent multiple hits from occurring at the same time, when one special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) is displayed, the other special figure fluctuation display that is changing (Design variation effect) is configured to forcibly stop and display in a different manner, whereas in another embodiment, when one special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is displayed, The special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is interrupted, and the suspended special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is resumed after the winning game based on one hit is completed.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a flow of the hit fluctuation interruption process in the pachinko machine according to another embodiment. In the hit fluctuation interruption process shown in FIG. 17, when either one of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display is stopped by the hit display (step E11), the other special figure is displayed. It is determined whether or not the change display is changing (step E12). If the determination result of step E12 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the hit fluctuation suspension process. On the other hand, if the determination result at step E12 is affirmative, subtraction of the variation timer (timing of variation time) corresponding to the special figure variation display during variation is interrupted (step E13). In the fluctuation interruption process at the time of hitting, while the subtraction of the fluctuation timer is interrupted, the main control CPU 60a continues the fluctuations in the corresponding special figure display units 50A and 50B, and the special figure designation command and all symbols. The stop command is not output, and the special figure variation display (design variation effect) is apparently continued.

  In a state where the subtraction of the variation timer is interrupted at step E13, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) has ended (step E14). If the determination result of step E14 is negative, the main control CPU 60a repeats the process of step E14. On the other hand, if the determination result of step E14 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a restarts subtraction of the variation timer that interrupted subtraction in step E13 (step E15), and ends the hit variation variation processing.

  In the pachinko machine of another embodiment, the winning symbol in the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) on one side triggered by winning in one of the start winning units 29, 30, 31 is displayed or the special symbol in that region During the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) based on the fluctuation display (symbol variation effect), the other special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) triggered by winning the other start winning portion 29, 30, 31 Is configured so that after the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) based on the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) per one game ends, the other special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is resumed. Therefore, when the other special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is a win, it can be prevented from being discarded, and the player can be prevented from being disadvantaged.

  In another embodiment, the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) in which the subtraction of the fluctuation timer is interrupted by the hit-time fluctuation interruption process is apparently continued even while the subtraction of the fluctuation timer is interrupted. As a result, the start hold information of the other start winning portions 29, 30, 31 during the fluctuation of one special symbol variation display (design variation effect) triggered by winning in one start winning portion 29, 30, 31 In spite of the fact that simultaneous change is not executed, it is possible to prevent the fact that the special symbol change display (symbol change effect) during change is a win.

(Example of change)
The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the first and second embodiments and other embodiments described above, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.
(1) In the embodiment, the first display device corresponding to the first special figure display unit and the second display device corresponding to the second special figure display unit are provided, but the image display surface of one display device is provided. The first display unit for displaying the symbol variation effect corresponding to the first special symbol display unit and the second display unit for displaying the symbol variation effect corresponding to the second special symbol display unit may be set. . As described above, in the configuration in which two display units are set on the image display surface of one display device, when the special symbol variation display is not performed at the same time, the symbol variation effect corresponding to one special diagram variation display is displayed on the image display surface. The image display surface may be divided into two display portions and the corresponding symbol variation effects may be simultaneously displayed on each display portion when two special figure variation displays are performed simultaneously.
(2) In the embodiment, a second special prize winning portion having a specific area is provided, and a special area entrance detection sensor detects that a pachinko ball has entered the specific area of the second special prize winning portion. Although it is configured to give a probability change state after the game ends, it is not granted to give a probability change state, but the winning game of the big hit game won by winning judgment with the winning to the start winning part (ball detection by the start winning detection sensor) A configuration that is uniquely determined by the type (type of symbol) may be used. As described above, the second special winning portion may be omitted as long as it is determined whether or not the probable change state is given depending on the type of jackpot game won by the winning determination with the winning in the starting winning portion.
(3) In the embodiment, the second big hit game has been explained in the case where only the first opening / closing member of the first special winning portion is opened (opening operation for a long time), but in the second big hit game, rounds other than the specific round Then, the first opening / closing member of the first special winning portion is opened for a long time, and the opening / closing operation is performed for a time when the possibility of the pachinko ball to win the second opening / closing member of the second special winning portion is extremely low (short time). (Opening operation).
(4) In the embodiment, since the variable state is also given while the probability change state is given, the game state suggestion suggesting that both the probability change state and the short state are given in the game performance mode. Although the image is displayed on the display means, if only one of the probability change state or the variable state is given, a game state suggestion image that suggests only one game state is displayed on the display means. You may do it. In addition, regarding the variable state, the player recognizes that the variable state is given from the opening / closing mode of the open / close member of the right second start winning portion. You may make it alert | report definitely that it is provided. For example, when a pachinko sphere enters a specific area in a specific round (specifically, when the specific area entrance detection sensor detects a pachinko sphere), either the probability variation state or the variation state is given. You may make it perform the effect which alert | reports this definitely by a display means.
(5) Regarding the special figure input process, the special figure input process for special figure 1 and the special figure input process for special figure 2 may be executed independently of each other. Specifically, the processing from step A11 to step A14 in FIG. 4 and the processing from step A15 to step A18 in FIG. 4 may be performed independently.

(6) In the embodiment, the case where a plurality of special figure fluctuation pattern tables that can be switched by the main control CPU (table switching means) has been described, but a basic special figure fluctuation pattern table in which a number of special figure fluctuation patterns are defined. When switching tables, select a special figure fluctuation pattern group consisting of multiple special figure fluctuation patterns from the many special figure fluctuation patterns defined in the basic special figure fluctuation pattern table. A special figure fluctuation pattern may be selected as the special figure fluctuation pattern table. That is, the table may be switched by switching a special figure fluctuation pattern group having a different special figure fluctuation pattern.
(7) The special figure fluctuation patterns included in each special figure fluctuation pattern table exemplified in the embodiment may be different in number and type in each table. Further, in the embodiment, the case has been described in which each of the special figure fluctuation pattern tables is set with one outlier special figure fluctuation pattern, one reach special figure fluctuation pattern, one big hit special figure fluctuation pattern, and one small hit special figure fluctuation pattern. A plurality of types may be set. For example, a plurality of types of special pattern fluctuation patterns may be set, and the variation time may be different for each special pattern fluctuation pattern, or the selection ratio may be different for each special pattern fluctuation pattern.
(8) When selecting a special figure fluctuation pattern, make sure that the selection ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation pattern, etc., is different depending on the number of special figure start hold information at the time of selection. Also good. For example, a special figure fluctuation pattern table having a different fluctuation time and selection ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern corresponding to the number of holdings is set (a special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to when the number of holdings is 1, holding The special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to when the number is 2), or the special figure fluctuation pattern table referred to by the main control CPU may be changed according to the number of holdings. Specifically, the setting is made so that the larger the number of holds, the shorter the fluctuation time becomes, and the special figure fluctuation pattern table that is set is easily selected.
In addition, when switching the special figure fluctuation pattern table according to the number of holdings, when selecting a special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first special figure starting holding information, the holding number of the first special figure starting holding information is set. When switching the special figure fluctuation pattern table based on the second special figure start hold information, the special figure fluctuation pattern table is switched based on the number of hold of the second special figure start hold information. Alternatively, when a special figure fluctuation pattern is selected on the basis of one special figure start hold information, the special figure fluctuation pattern corresponding to the number of holds added by the first and second special figure start hold information. You may make it switch to a table. Furthermore, when selecting the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first special figure start hold information, the special figure change pattern table is switched based on the number of the second special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold is held. When selecting the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the information, a configuration in which the special figure fluctuation pattern table is switched based on the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information can be adopted.
(9) In the embodiment, the selection ratio is set to 0% in the special figure fluctuation pattern table so that the corresponding special figure fluctuation pattern is not selected, but the special figure fluctuation pattern that does not include the unselected special figure fluctuation pattern. You can also set a table. For example, in the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2, three types of special figure fluctuation patterns except for the special figure fluctuation pattern pA1 are determined, and in the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2, the reach special figure fluctuation pattern pC2 is determined. Three types of special figure fluctuation patterns except for may be defined.
(10) In the first embodiment, the table change condition (mode change condition) is the case where the small hit symbol is a specific symbol (C, c). Can do. The table change condition is not limited to small hits, but can be big hits or specific types of big hits.
(11) In the second embodiment, the count of the number of times of switching as the table change condition (mode change condition) is started after the winning game. However, the count may be started after the pachinko machine is turned on. Good. Alternatively, the counting of the number of times of switching may be started after performing initialization processing (so-called ram clear processing) of the pachinko machine.

(12) In the second embodiment, the case has been described where the number of times of switching in the case of small hits is not changed depending on the type (design type). For example, when winning a small hit of symbols C and c, the number of times of switching is 500, and when winning a small hit of symbols D and d, the number of times of switching is 1500. In addition, you can set up multiple types of special figure fluctuation pattern tables with different fluctuation time and selection ratios that can be switched when you win a small hit, and the type of small winning (design type) The special figure variation pattern table to be switched according to the above may be different. Also, in the second embodiment, after winning a small hit, whether or not to change the special figure variation pattern table may be determined by lottery, and the probability of changing the special figure fluctuation pattern table by the lottery is small hit. You may set so that it may differ with the kind of. In the second embodiment, the number of small hits is not limited to two, but may be one or three or more.
(13) In the embodiment, each of the special pattern variation pattern tables referred to by the main control CPU to determine the special diagram variation pattern triggered by winning the first or second start winning portion used in the special mode. As explained in the above case, as the special figure fluctuation pattern table used in the special mode, the average fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the special figure fluctuation pattern table A plurality of types having different times may be set, and special figure variation pattern tables that are changed according to the type of hit (the type of big hit or the type of big hit) may be set individually. That is, a plurality of types of special modes (first special mode, second special mode, etc.) for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern based on a special figure fluctuation pattern table having different average fluctuation times of special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation production). ) Is set, and the main control CPU (mode shifting means) shifts to the corresponding special mode according to the type of winning. As a means of changing the average fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect), in addition to changing the selection ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern set to the same fluctuation time in each special figure fluctuation pattern table, The fluctuation time itself specified by each special figure fluctuation pattern set in the figure fluctuation pattern table may be changed.
(14) In the embodiment, when the special figure fluctuation display stops at the hit display, the special figure fluctuation display during the fluctuation is forcibly stopped by the off display. Judgment is made based on the result of the big hit judgment and small hit judgment) and the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern, and during the fluctuation of one special figure fluctuation display, it is decided that the special figure fluctuation display of the other hit stops at the hit display. In such a case, the hit determination result relating to one of the special figure fluctuation displays is forcibly made a deviation in advance, and the deviation symbol and the fluctuation pattern for deviation can be determined.

(15) In the embodiment, when the table change condition (winning or switching number per hit) is satisfied, the main control CPU refers to determine the special pattern variation pattern triggered by winning the first start winning portion. The special control fluctuation pattern table and the special control fluctuation pattern table that the main control CPU refers to in order to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern are triggered by winning the prize in the second start winning section. May be switched.
(16) In the first embodiment, the probability of shifting to the special mode depending on the type of the small hit symbol (the change probability of the special figure variation pattern table) is explained in the case where the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are the same. It may be. For example, in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, there is a high possibility that the special figure 2 will be given a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player, so in the special figure 1 the probability of winning with the small hit symbol of the symbol C ( The special mode transition probability) is set to 10%, while in the special figure 2, the probability of winning with the small hit symbol of the pattern c (transition probability to the special mode) is set to 90%. Further, three or more types of small hit symbols can be set, and the transition probability to the special mode (change probability of the special diagram variation pattern table) can be set differently depending on the types of small hit symbols.
(17) In the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the special figure variation pattern table is changed depending on the type of the small hit symbol. However, whether or not the special figure fluctuation pattern table is changed after winning the small hit is determined. You may make it determine by lottery. Further, the probability of changing the special figure variation pattern table by the lottery may be set so as to differ depending on the type of the small hit symbol.
(18) The configurations of the first and second embodiments can be combined. In other words, when winning a small hit (specific win), the special figure fluctuation pattern table used for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is first displayed after the end of the small hit game (win game) based on the small hit (win). If the special figure fluctuation pattern table with a short average fluctuation time is changed to the special figure fluctuation pattern table with a short average fluctuation time, the special figure fluctuation used to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern is selected. The pattern table counts the special figure change display (symbol change effect) that is performed after the big hit game (special hit game) based on the big hit (special hit) by the counting means, and the count value is the preset number of times of switching. In such a case, a configuration for changing to a specific special figure fluctuation pattern table with a short average fluctuation time may be adopted.
(19) In the embodiment, when one of the special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) stops at the hit display, the timing of stopping the variation of the other special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) in the variation and stopping at the display Is the timing before one of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation production) stops at the win display, or before the hit game starts in the stop state of the hit display, if it is before the win game starts. Also good.

(20) In the example, the average fluctuation time of the special symbol fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) is shortened due to the fact that the table change conditions such as the winning of the small hit and the number of fluctuations of the special symbol fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) are established. Although it is configured to change to the special figure fluctuation pattern table, the average fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) becomes longer due to the establishment of another table change condition. A configuration for changing to the PTD 1 and the different type second special figure variation pattern table PTD 2 can be added. For example, the pachinko machine is set to be in a special mode by power-on or ram clear processing, and in the special mode, the special figure fluctuation pattern is set based on the specific first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC1 and the specific second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTC2. When a different table change condition is satisfied in the situation to be determined, the special figure fluctuation pattern table (design fluctuation) is displayed for shifting to a different mode (game effect mode) and determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. You may make it change into the different kind 1st special figure fluctuation pattern table PTD1 and the different kind 2nd special figure fluctuation pattern table PTD2 with which the average fluctuation time of (effect) becomes long. In addition, when playing in the special mode, winning a specific hit (per fall) is a different table change condition, and another special feature that increases the average fluctuation time of the special figure change display (symbol fluctuation effect). You may make it change into a figure fluctuation pattern table. In the normal mode, when another table change condition is satisfied, the normal first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA1 and the normal second special figure fluctuation pattern table PTA2 are changed to the different type first special figure fluctuation pattern table PTD1 and the different type second special figure fluctuation. It may be switched to the pattern table PTD2. That is, the table switching means switches to the special figure fluctuation pattern table that shortens the average fluctuation time when the first table change condition is satisfied, and average change time when the second table change condition is satisfied. A configuration for switching to a special figure variation pattern table that becomes longer may be employed.
(21) In the embodiment, the special winning opening of the first and second special winning portions is configured to be opened in the case of hitting in the hit determination triggered by winning in the starting winning portion. For the special winning part, the second opening / closing member (opening / closing means) is controlled to open the second special winning opening when a predetermined condition is satisfied when the pachinko ball is won at the specific starting opening of the specific starting winning part provided on the game board. To be configured. And the structure which changes a special figure fluctuation | variation pattern table with a winning in this specific starting opening can be employ | adopted. That is, a winning at the specific start port can be set as a table change condition. In addition, it is good also as a table change condition being satisfied immediately for winning to a specific start opening, and the structure which determines establishment / non-establishment of table change conditions by lottery with the winning to a specific start opening can be employ | adopted.
