Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine that can simultaneously vary the display of a plurality of special symbols for determining whether or not a jackpot is successful.

Conventionally, a pachinko machine that is a gaming machine determines whether or not to shift to a special game advantageous for winning a prize ball due to a ball entering the start opening, and variably displays a special symbol, The mainstream is that the special symbol is confirmed and displayed later to notify the result of the success / failure determination, and if the determination result is a big hit, the game shifts to the special game.
In addition, recently, this type of pachinko machine has a plurality of start openings, and a determination of whether or not each of the start openings is performed individually, and a plurality of special symbols that vary according to each determination of the success or failure are simultaneously displayed. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 includes a first starting port (first starting region) and a second starting port (second starting region), and is caused by entering the first starting port. A lottery related to the first special symbol is performed (whether or not is determined), and when the big hit is made, the game shifts to the first special game, while the lottery related to the second special symbol due to the entrance to the second starting port ( A determination is made as to whether or not the game is successful, and the second special game is played when the jackpot is reached. Then, the variation time from the variability display result of the first special symbol to the stop display after variably displaying is made shorter than the variation time of the second special symbol, and the second special symbol When the first special symbol is a big hit and the first special game is executed when the result of the determination of validity is displayed in a variable manner, the passage of the variation time of the second special symbol is temporarily stopped. The first special game and the second special game are not made simultaneously.
In addition, in the first special game and the second special game, the value of the game such as being able to acquire a large number of prize balls is set higher in the first special game than in the second special game, How many times the first special symbol can be determined and how many first special games can be executed before the result of the determination regarding the second special symbol is confirmed The game is given as if it can be done.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 extracts the random number value for the usual map due to the entrance to the usual operation gate 22 and performs a lottery determination based on the random number value. The winning result is confirmed and displayed on the display device 29, and the utility is released. This makes it possible to win a prize at the second special figure starting port 24.

  When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23, a random number value for the first special figure is extracted due to this, and whether or not the first special figure is appropriate is determined based on the random number value. The symbol change of the first special symbol is started in the symbol display device 27, and the symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol is started in the effect symbol display device 21.

  On the other hand, when there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 24, a random number value for the second special figure is extracted due to this, and whether the second special figure is determined based on the random number value, The special symbol display device 28 starts the symbol variation of the second special symbol, and the effect symbol display device 21 starts the symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the second special symbol.

The symbol variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not limited to the symbol display devices 27 and 28 when the determination of whether or not the other special symbol is executed even if one special symbol is changing. In the effect symbol display device 21, the screen is divided into two parts, and both special figures fluctuate simultaneously.
In the following description, explanation will be focused on the symbol variation and final display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol and the pseudo special symbol corresponding to the second special symbol on the effect symbol display device 21. The pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the figure is simply referred to as a first special symbol, and the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the second special symbol is simply referred to as a second special symbol.

If the determination result of the first special figure or the second special figure is a big hit, the big hit symbol is determined, the big hit symbol is determined and displayed on each display device 21, and the big hit game (special game) is executed.
As shown in FIG. 5A, there are two types of jackpot games, “16R-A” and “16R-B”.
The “16R-A” jackpot game is repeated 16 rounds, with the grand prize winning opening 25 being opened for 28 seconds or until there are nine balls in one round.
In the “16R-B” jackpot game, 4 rounds of opening the grand prize opening 25 for 28 seconds or until there are 9 balls, and opening the grand prize opening 25 for 0.2 seconds or 9 The round of opening until there is a ball is repeated 12 rounds.

The big hit game of “16R-A” is expected to have many prize balls over all 16 rounds, and the value of the special game is high. On the other hand, in the big hit game of “16R-B”, only 4 rounds with a long opening time can be expected to receive prize balls, and the remaining rounds have no prize balls and the value of special games is low.
In addition, if it is a big hit in the determination of success / failure according to the second special figure, it is always a (100%) big hit game of “16R-A”. On the other hand, if it is a big hit in the determination of success or failure according to the first special figure, it will be a big hit game of (100%) “16R-B”. The game value of the jackpot of the second special chart is higher than the jackpot of the first special chart, and the player aims (desirs) the jackpot of the second special chart.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the gaming state after the end of the “16R-A” jackpot game is always (100%) as a privilege gaming state advantageous for winning the jackpot, and the first or second special figure. The game shifts to a probabilistic gaming state with a high probability of winning a big win, increases the probability of winning a normal figure, shortens the fluctuation time of the normal figure, and is used for the second special figure start opening 24 When the release time of an object is extended, it becomes a short game state.
On the other hand, after the end of the “16R-B” jackpot game, the game always shifts to the probability change game (100%), but does not necessarily shift to the short-time game state, and the short-time game state has a probability of 50%. It is the structure which shifts to.
The probability variation gaming state and the short-time gaming state are continued until the number of changes in the first and second special drawings reaches 100 times.

  In this pachinko machine, the pattern selection table for determining the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time) of the first special figure and the second special figure in the period of the probability change after the big hit game and the short-time bonus game, respectively, The first special figure and the second special figure are set at each end of the big hit game by making the pattern selection table of the first special figure and the set pattern selection table of the second special figure different from each other. The basic configuration is to provide a case where the fluctuation ratios of the two are made different.

Hereinafter, details of the operation will be described based on a program process executed by the main controller 40.
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of this process (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining process (S111), and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), an initial value random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number update process (S102) that is a random value for determining whether or not the special figure is correct, and an update of the special figure big hit symbol determination random number Process (S103), update process of random numbers for hitting determination of ordinary figure (S104), update process of random numbers for reach determination relating to reach of special figure (S105), update process of random numbers for determining variation pattern relating to fluctuation pattern of special figure ( S106), winning confirmation processing (S107), winning / failing determination processing (S108), each output processing (S109), fraud monitoring processing (S110) are performed, and the initial time is within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The random number update process (S111) is looped.

Next, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) which are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
The “start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 7 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S107). First, the first special figure (special 1) is confirmed to enter the starting port 23 (S200), and there is a winning. (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether the first special figure (special 1) holding memory is full (S201). In the present embodiment, the number of reserved storages of the first special figure that can be stored is four each.

  If the hold memory is not full (S201: no), in the extracted random number hold storage process of S202, the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the fluctuation pattern determination due to the above-mentioned ball entry A plurality of random values such as random numbers are extracted from each random number counter, and these random numbers are stored as a reserved storage of the first special figure. In this process, the number of lights on the first special figure hold number display device 271 is increased by one, and the special figure hold number command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 to send the current hold number of the first special figure. Process.

Subsequently, in the process of S203, the entrance to the second special figure (special 2) starting port 24 is confirmed, and if there is an entrance (S203: yes), is the second special figure (special 2) holding memory full? Confirm (S204). The number of reserved memories in the second special figure that can be stored is four each.
If the hold memory is not full (S204: no), in the extracted random number hold storage process of S205, the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern determination due to the above-mentioned ball entry A plurality of random values such as random numbers are extracted from each random number counter, and these random numbers are stored as a reserved storage of the second special figure. In this process, the number of lights on the second special figure hold number display device 281 is increased by one, and a special figure hold number command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 to send the current hold number of the second special figure. Process. After the process of S205, the process returns.

FIG. 8 to FIG. 12 show a flowchart of the “win / fail determination process” of the special figure. Note that this processing is performed individually in each of the first and second special drawings so that the first special diagram and the second special diagram can be changed simultaneously. Hereinafter, the case where the determination process of the first special figure is performed will be mainly described.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the “win / fail determination process”, first, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is confirmed to determine whether or not a big hit game is being played (S300). no), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure is changing (S301). If it is not changing (S301: no), it is checked whether or not the fixed symbol of the special figure is being fixedly displayed (S302). ). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 9, it is confirmed whether or not there is a reserved memory of the first special figure (S310). If there is no pending storage (S310: no), the process proceeds to “special game processing”. If there is a reserved memory (S310: yes), the number of memories is subtracted and a shift process of the reserved memory is performed (S311). By this shift processing, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the special figure is the target of the determination of success or failure.

Next, in the process of S312, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change with the big hit determination random number of the pending storage to be the target of the success / failure determination (S313).
If the probability change is not in progress (S312: no), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the normal probability (low probability) determination table with the big hit determination random number (S314).

In the subsequent process of S315, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S313 or S314 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S315: yes), in the process of S316, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination. The process of S315 corresponds to “first win / fail determination means” described in the claims, and the process of S316 corresponds to “big hit symbol determination means”. When determining whether or not the second special figure is correct, the process of S315 corresponds to “second correctness determination means” recited in the claims.
In the process of S317, a variation pattern such as a variation time for jackpot of the first special figure displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 is determined. In addition, when determining whether or not the second special figure is true, a variation pattern for jackpot of the second special figure is determined.

  In the variation pattern determination process of S317, first, it is confirmed whether or not the current game state is a probability change time-short privilege game (corresponding to the privilege game described in the claims) to which probability change and time reduction are given. If it is a promising short-time bonus game state, a pattern selection table for a variation pattern is determined based on the jackpot symbol of the previous jackpot game (the first selection table setting means or the second selection table described in the claims) Equivalent to setting means). The pattern selection table is provided with a plurality of types of variation patterns, and one variation pattern is determined from these, and a plurality of types of pattern selection tables having different average variation times are provided. For example, a variation pattern having a variation time of 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., a “short pattern selection table” having an average variation time of about 3 seconds, a “medium pattern selection table” having an average variation time of about 12 seconds, A “long pattern selection table” having an average fluctuation time of about 60 seconds, a “very long pattern selection table” having an average fluctuation time of about 240 seconds, and the like are provided.

As shown in FIG. 13, this pachinko machine is provided with 14 types of big hit symbols, “big hit symbol 1A” to “big hit symbol 14A”, and these big hit symbols are “symbol group α1” to “symbol group α4”. Belongs to one of four types of symbol groups.
For example, in the case of “big hit symbol 1A” in which the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group α1”, the pattern selection table at the time of the first (first rotation) change after the big hit of the first special symbol is determined. The “medium pattern selection table” is determined, and the fluctuation of the first special figure is determined as the “medium pattern selection table” after the second rotation. On the other hand, the pattern selection table of the second special figure is determined as the “short pattern selection table” regardless of the number of fluctuations. In this case, the fluctuation time of the first rotation of the first special figure is longer than that of the second special figure, and accordingly, the fluctuation of the second special figure is increased, and the expectation level for acquiring the big bonus of the second special figure having high gaming value Will rise a little, so it will be a “value increase expectation short period”.
When the previous big hit symbol is “Big hit symbol 2A” of “symbol group α1” and the first fluctuation after the big hit of the first special figure (first rotation), the pattern selection table is determined as the “short pattern selection table”. Then, the fluctuation of the first special figure is determined in the “short pattern selection table” after the second rotation. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”.
When the previous big hit symbol is “hit symbol 5A” of “symbol group α2” and the first fluctuation after the big hit of the first special figure (first rotation), the pattern selection table is determined as “medium pattern selection table”. In the first special figure, the fluctuation is determined in the “short pattern selection table” after the second rotation. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”.
When the previous big hit symbol is “Big hit symbol 7A” of “symbol group α3” and the first fluctuation after the big hit of the first special figure (first rotation), the pattern selection table is determined as the “long pattern selection table”. The first special figure is changed to the “medium pattern selection table” after the second rotation. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, the variation time of the first rotation of the first special figure is considerably longer than that of the second special figure, and accordingly, the fluctuation of the second special figure is increased, and an expectation of obtaining a big hit of the second special figure having high gaming value Since the degree will rise considerably, it will be the “expected period of value increase”.
When the previous big hit symbol is “Big hit symbol 11A” of “symbol group α4” and the first variation after the big hit of the first special figure (first rotation), the pattern selection table is determined as the “extremely long pattern selection table”. Then, the fluctuation of the first special figure is determined in the “medium pattern selection table” after the second rotation. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, the fluctuation time of the first rotation of the first special figure is much longer than that of the second special figure, and accordingly, the fluctuation of the second special figure increases, and the expectation level for obtaining the big hit of the second special figure is the highest. As it rises, it becomes the “expected long period of value increase”.
The configuration for changing the pattern selection table in accordance with the number of fluctuations, such as “big hit symbols 5A, 7A, 11A”, corresponds to the number changing means described in the claims.
Further , the pattern selection table is made different between the first special figure (first rotation) and the second special figure by different means, such as “big hit symbol 1A, 5A, 7A, 11A”.

  After the pattern selection table is determined, the variation pattern is determined from the pattern selection table determined in accordance with the random number for determining the variation pattern in the pending storage that is the object of the determination.

  When the gaming state is not during the probable short-time bonus game, the variation pattern is determined by determining a pattern selection table based on the variation pattern determination random number and further determining the variation pattern.

  Returning to FIG. 9, after determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S318. In this process, based on the jackpot symbol determined in the process of S316, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, the time of the ending effect, and the like are set.

In the process of S315, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S315: no), in the process of S319, the pattern selection table at the time of the loss is determined in the same manner as in the process of S317 to determine the variation pattern. Note that the pattern selection table to be determined is determined to be the same pattern selection table based on the previous big hit symbol regardless of whether or not the hit is determined.
Subsequently, a loss setting process is performed in the process of S320.

  After each setting process of S318 or S320, in the process of S321, the symbol variation start control of the special symbol display device 27 is performed, and the symbol variation start command and the symbol designation command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. Move to “Game processing”. The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

After the command transmission, as shown in FIG. 10, it is confirmed in the process of S330 whether or not the probability variation flag is “1”. If the probability variation flag is “1” (S330: yes), the probability variation counter for limiting the granting period of the probability variation game is subtracted in the processing of S331, and the subtracted probability variation counter (number of times) is “0”. Check whether or not. If the probability variation counter is “0” (S331: yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S332).
In the subsequent process of S333, it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction flag is “1”. If the time reduction flag is “1” (S333: yes), the time reduction counter for limiting the time saving game grant period is subtracted in the process of S334, and the subtraction time reduction counter (number of times) is “0”. Confirm whether or not. If the hour / hour counter is “0” (S334: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to “0” (S335).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information on a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the sub integrated control device. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  When the special symbol is changing in the process of S301 in FIG. 8 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 11, when it is confirmed that the symbol change time has passed (S340: yes), the fixed symbol display process In (S341), control is performed to end the symbol variation display of the first (or second) special symbol display device 27 (28), and the pseudo symbol variation display to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 is performed. A symbol confirmation command is transmitted so as to end the effect display, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), the process proceeds to S350 of FIG. 12, and it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has ended. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S350: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the confirmed symbol display time has ended (S350: yes), the confirmation of the special symbol of the first (or second) special symbol display device 27 (28) is confirmed by the finalized symbol display end processing (S351). A control for terminating the symbol display is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 so as to terminate the fixed display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol.

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the symbol of the special figure is a combination that makes a big hit (S352). If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S352: yes), in the process of S353, the first special figure and the second special figure are simultaneously displayed. It is confirmed whether or not it is changing, and if it is changing simultaneously, the change of the other special figure is terminated. In this case, the spruce determination of other special symbols you exit discarded forced even jackpot.

In the subsequent processing of S354, it is confirmed whether or not the probability variation flag is “1”. If the probability variation flag is “1” (S354: yes), “0” is set to the probability variation flag (S355).
Next, in the process of S356, it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction flag is “1”. If the time reduction flag is “1” (S356: yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S357). By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

In the subsequent process of S358, the operation of the condition device is started, and in the process of S359, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The condition device is a device required for the operation of the winning combination continuous operation device in the big hit game, and the winning combination continuous operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric combination of the big prize opening 24.
Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process (S360), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the “special game processing” executed after the “win / fail determination processing”, first, in the processing of S400, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S400: yes), it is confirmed in step S401 whether the special winning opening 25 is open.
If the big winning opening 24 is not open in the process of S401 (S401: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S402). If not during the interval (S402: no), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S403). If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S403: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S404), and if the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S404: yes), the winning opening of S405 is opened. In the process, the special winning opening 24 is opened and the process returns.

  If the prize winning opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is confirmed whether or not there is a predetermined number of winnings (9) in the prize winning opening 25 (S410). Alternatively, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 25 has ended (S411), and if any can be confirmed, the big prize opening 25 is closed (S412), the big hit interval process is executed (S413), and the process returns. . In the big hit interval process, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 so as to start the big hit interval effect.

If it is during the interval in the process of S402 in FIG. 14 (S402: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S414 in FIG. 15 and if it has passed (S414: yes), the round of the big hit game Whether or not the number is the final round is confirmed (S415). If the number is the final round (S415: yes), the jackpot end effect processing (S416) is executed. In this processing, the jackpot end command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42. , End the jackpot game and return.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S415: no), the winning opening 25 is released (S417) and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being produced in the process of S403 in FIG. 13 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 16, it is confirmed whether the end time of the jackpot end effect time has passed (S420), and if it has passed ( (S420: yes), the process (S421) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and the process (S422) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

In the subsequent processes of S423 to S428, the game content after the big hit game is set with reference to the setting contents set in the “big hit setting process (S319)” of FIG. That is, in S423, it is confirmed whether or not the game is shifted to the probability change game after the big hit game is finished. When the game is shifted (S423: yes), the probability change setting process (S424) and the process of setting the probability change flag to “1” (S425) are performed. Do.
Next, in S426, it is confirmed whether or not the game is shifted to the time-saving game after the big hit game is finished. When the game is shifted (S426: yes), the time-time setting process (S427) and the process of setting the time-time flag to “1” (S428). I do.

  Thereafter, a command to end the big hit game is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 (S429), and information indicating whether or not to shift to the open extended game state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the like as a state designation command (S430). ). Then return.

  In this pachinko machine, during the probability change short-time bonus game after the big hit game, the variation pattern of the first special figure and the second special figure is determined based on the big hit symbol of the previous big hit game, and the pattern selection table is determined from the table. With reference to FIG. 13, for example, the variation time of the first rotation of the first special figure such as “hit symbol 1A”, “hit symbol 7A”, “hit symbol 11A” and the like is set. The variation ratio between the first special figure and the second special figure is set to be longer than twice the fluctuation time of the second special figure, and the fluctuation ratio of the second special figure is set higher than that of the first special figure. The above-mentioned “value increase expected short period”, “value increase expected middle period”, and “value increase expected large period” differing in the degree of expectation such as whether or not the second special figure can be won or not can be configured, so that the gameability is enhanced. Can do.

  Furthermore, the variation time of the first rotation of the first special figure, such as “big hit symbol 7A”, “big hit symbol 9A”, “big hit symbol 11A”, “big hit symbol 13A”, etc., and the second rotation of the first special symbol Thereafter, the variation ratio between the first special figure and the second special figure can be varied in various ways by making it longer than the fluctuation time of the second special figure.

For example, the number of times (X) that the second special figure can fluctuate during the first revolution of the first special figure is 4 rotations for “big hit symbol 1A”, 20 rotations for “big hit symbol 7A”, 80 turns for the “hit symbol 11A”, 1 turn for the “hit symbol 3A”, 5 turns for the “hit symbol 9A”, 20 turns for the “hit symbol 13A”.
Further, the number of times (Y) that the second special figure can fluctuate during the second and subsequent rotations of the first special figure is 4 rotations if “big hit symbol 1A, 7A, 11A”, “big hit symbol 3A, 9A, 13A "is one rotation.
The number of times the second special figure can change during the first rotation of the first special figure (X) and the second special figure can change during the second and subsequent fluctuations of the first special figure. Number of times (Y)
(1+ (100− (X + 1) / (Y + 1)) / 100 (Equation 1)
And by
When the change ratio of the first special figure during the probable short-time bonus game period (100 times) is obtained,
The “big hit symbol 1A” is 20%, while the variation rate of the second special symbol is 80%. In the same way, in the “big hit symbol 7A”, the first special figure is about 17% and about 80% of the second special figure, and in the “big hit symbol 11A”, the first special figure is about 5% and about 95% of the second special figure. In the “big hit symbol 3A”, the first special symbol is 50% and the second special symbol is 50%. In the “big hit symbol 9A”, the first special symbol is 48%, the second special symbol is 52%, and the “big hit symbol 13A”. Then, the first special figure is about 41%, which is about 59% of the second special figure.

  Thus, according to this pachinko machine, the change ratio of the first special figure and the second special figure are changed on the basis of the big hit symbol that caused the big hit game every time after the big hit game ends, and the fluctuation ratio of both is changed. Since at least the same or the fluctuation ratio of the second special figure was increased, how many fluctuations of the second special figure are generated at the same time, and how many jackpots of the second special figure with high game value can be executed Therefore, it is possible to improve the fun of the game by preventing the simultaneous change of the game from becoming ruined.

In addition, when one special figure becomes a big hit at the time of simultaneous change and the big hit game is started, the change of the other special figure is forcibly ended as a loss, so the big hit game of the first special figure and the second special figure It is possible to prevent the big hit game from being executed at the same time, and at the same time when the first and second special figures change simultaneously, the first special figure will be started first, so that the short-time game will not continue. A thrilling feeling can be given, such as (the chance period of aiming for the big hit of the second special figure with high game value will end).
In addition, in the transition of the game state after the big hit game, the game will surely change after any big hit game, but the second special figure “16R-B” after the big hit game “16R-B”. Since the probability that a short-time game is awarded after the “16R-A” jackpot game is high, the following effects are produced. That is, if the “16R-A” jackpot game can be generated during the fluctuation of the first special figure that causes the “16R-B” jackpot game, a game with a high game value advantageous for winning a prize ball can be obtained. In addition to being obtained, it is possible to prevent the situation where the short-time game does not continue due to the occurrence of the big hit game of “16R-B”. As a result, by changing the second special figure during the promising short-time bonus game after the big hit game, it is determined that a chance to aim for a game with a high game value advantageous for winning a prize ball is obtained. The target moves to the next special game and can give the player a sense of security.
On the other hand, if the big hit game of “16R-A” cannot be generated during the fluctuation of the first special figure, it is determined that the game has a low game value that is disadvantageous for winning the prize ball, and the player's interest The target of the game moves to the jackpot symbol of the first special figure that triggers the jackpot game of “16R-B” whether or not the short-time game is given, and it can give the player a thrilling feeling and the fun of the game Increase.
In addition, during the reach, it is generally performed to stop the launch until the result can be estimated to some extent, but in the hope of giving a short-time game, the occurrence of a big hit game of “16R-B” With the new game nature of blocking, it is possible to continue the launch by changing the period during which the launch is stopped to the chance period, and to increase the operation of the gaming machine.

In this pachinko machine 1, when one special figure becomes a big hit at the time of simultaneous fluctuation and the big hit game is started, the fluctuation of the other special figure is temporarily interrupted (in parentheses in S353), and the one big hit game is ended. after but it may also be so as to resume the other change.
According to this, the big hit game of the first special figure and the big hit game of the second special figure can be prevented from being executed at the same time, and there is no disadvantage that the big hit game is discarded.

Further, in the configuration in which the variation of the other special figure is interrupted, in the transition of the game state after the big hit game, the game is surely changed even after any big hit game, but "16R-A" and "16R-B" It is desirable that the probability that the short-time game is given after the big hit game is substantially the same (for example, both are 75%). In this case, the following effects are obtained. That is, since it is not necessary to prevent the occurrence of the “16R-B” jackpot game, the target of the player's interest is “16R-A” jackpot game or “16R-B” jackpot game to which a short-time game is given. It is a big hit symbol (first or second special figure) that triggers the game, and can increase the thrill of whether or not a short-time game can be acquired.
In addition, by suspending the other special symbol's change and not losing it, it becomes possible to speedily develop the big hits in a short time (ream), making the player feel a lot of prize balls that can be acquired in a short time. It can enhance the ball feeling.
In general, during the reach, the launch is stopped and the launch is not resumed until the result can be guessed to some extent, but the expectation of the villa including “16R-A” jackpot game and “16R-B” jackpot game Due to the new gameplay of how many “16R-A” jackpot games are generated during a probabilistic short-time bonus game where the degree (number of consecutive resorts) is constant, It is possible to continue launching by changing the chance period and increase the operation of the gaming machine.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.
In the first embodiment, in the process of S317 or the process of S319 (FIG. 9) of the “win / fail determination process”, the pattern selection table of the variation pattern of the first special figure during the probable short-time bonus game after the end of the big hit game When determining whether or not the result of the determination is “big hit” or “losing”, the same pattern selection table is determined based on the previous big hit symbol. On the other hand, the pachinko machine of the second embodiment can change the pattern selection table of the first special figure during the probabilistic short-time bonus game according to the result of the determination.
The basic configuration of the pachinko machine is the same as that of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, and the description will focus on the determination of a different pattern selection table.

  As shown in FIG. 17, this pachinko machine is provided with 24 types of jackpot symbols from “big hit symbol 1B” to “big hit symbol 24B”, and these big hit symbols are “symbol group β1” to “symbol group β6”. Belongs to one of six types of symbol groups.

The determination of the pattern selection table is, for example, when the previous jackpot symbol is “Big Jack Symbol 1B” of “Symbol Group β1”, the pattern selection table of the first special diagram is related to whether the result of the success / failure determination is “Big Hit” or “Loose” In addition, the “medium pattern selection table” is determined regardless of whether the number of fluctuations is one or two rotations.
Note that the pattern selection table of the second special figure is determined as the “short pattern selection table” regardless of the result of the determination and the number of fluctuations. In this case, it is the “value increase expectation small period”.
In the case of the “big hit symbol 5B” in which the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group β2”, the pattern selection table is “No. When the variation of the first special figure is the second and subsequent rotations, the “long pattern selection table” is determined at the big hit, while the “short pattern selection table” is determined at the time of loss. The The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, since the degree of expectation for acquiring the jackpot of the second special symbol is considerably increased after the second rotation of the first special symbol, the “expected period for revalue increase” can be configured.
In the case of the “big hit symbol 9B” where the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group β3”, the pattern selection table of the first special figure is “long pattern selection table” for big hits and “medium pattern selection” for loss A “table” is determined. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, a “value increase expectation period” can be configured.
In the case of the “big hit symbol 13B” in which the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group β4”, the pattern selection table for the first rotation of the first special symbol is determined as the “long pattern selection table” regardless of the result of the determination of success / failure. After the rotation, the “long pattern selection table” is determined at the time of big hit, and the “medium pattern selection table” is determined at the time of loss. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, a “value increase expectation period” can be configured.
In the case of the “big hit symbol 17B” where the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group β5”, the pattern selection table for the first rotation of the first special figure is “long pattern selection table” at the time of big hit, and “medium pattern selection table” at the time of loss. Is determined. After the second rotation, the “extremely long pattern selection table” is determined for a big hit, and the “medium pattern selection table” is determined for a loss. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, since the degree of expectation for obtaining the big hit of the second special figure is the highest after the second rotation of the first special symbol, the “revalue increase expected large period” can be configured.
In the case of the “big hit symbol 21B” where the previous big hit symbol is “symbol group β6”, the pattern selection table for the first rotation of the first special figure is “extremely long pattern selection table” at the time of big hit, and “long pattern selection table” at the time of loss. ”Is determined, and after two rotations,“ extremely long pattern selection table ”is determined at the time of big hit, and“ medium pattern selection table ”is determined at the time of loss. The second special figure is a “short pattern selection table”. In this case, the "appreciation expected large period" is Ru can be configured.

  After the pattern selection table is determined, the variation pattern is determined from the pattern selection table determined in accordance with the random number for determining the variation pattern in the pending storage that is the object of the determination.

  Thus, according to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the same effect as the first embodiment is exhibited, and the success / failure determination such as “big hit symbol 5B, 9B, 13B, 17B, 21B” is performed. Since the pattern selection table is changed according to the result, the variation ratio of the first special figure and the second special figure can be changed more and more variously after the big hit game is finished, so that the simultaneous fluctuation game Can be effectively prevented, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, since the fluctuation pattern of the second and subsequent rotations is set longer than the first rotation of the first special chart, such as “big hit symbol 5B, 17B”, etc., “expected period of revalue increase” And a “revalue increase expectation large period”, and a player who is disappointed without the big hit of the second special figure due to the first rotation of the first special figure can be The surprise that the fluctuation after the rotation becomes longer and the sense of expectation of winning the big hit of the second special figure can be given, and the gameability can be improved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can of course be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In both the first and second embodiments, the pattern selection table of the first special figure and the pattern selection table of the second special figure based on the jackpot symbol of the jackpot game during the probability change short-time bonus game after the jackpot game However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the pattern selection table for the first special symbol is set based on the jackpot symbol, and the pattern selection table for the second special symbol may be a constant (identical) pattern selection table regardless of the jackpot symbol. Good. In this case, the pattern selection table of the second special figure is either “short pattern selection table” or “medium pattern selection table”.
Moreover, it is good also as a structure which has the method of determining the pattern selection table by 1st Embodiment, and the method of determining the pattern selection table by 2nd Embodiment. As one configuration in this case, at the time of determining the pattern selection table for the first rotation of the first special figure of the first embodiment, the pattern selection table according to the result of the determination as to whether or not it is the same as in the second embodiment. It is good also as a structure which changes.
As another configuration, the pattern selection table is changed according to the determination result as in the second embodiment when determining the variation pattern selection table after the second rotation of the first special figure of the first embodiment. It is good also as composition to do.
