The device 6 is controlled to display an effect screen such as an effect symbol change display (symbol effect).

[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 according to the present embodiment will be described. The pachinko machine 50 opens the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 91 when the winning / failing determination is made by using the random numbers corresponding to the first and second special drawings. The jackpot game for giving a prize ball is performed. The number of rounds of the jackpot game depends on which one of the first entrance port 42 to the third entrance port 44 provided in the croon 41 is entered. It is determined (see FIG. 7A).
Further, in this embodiment, in addition to the number of rounds, the opening pattern (either the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern) of the second big winning opening 91 provided with the probability changing opening 94 is also provided in the croon 41. It is determined by which one of the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 a game ball enters (FIG. 7A). The first opening pattern and the second opening pattern will be described later.

  The first entrance 42 is located on the near side (player) side, the second entrance 43 is located diagonally to the right of the first entrance 42, and the left side of the first entrance 42 is further left. The third entrance 44 is located obliquely behind. When a game ball arrives at such a crone 41, the probability of entering each entrance is set to 1/3.

When the winning / not-winning determination is made, the condition device is activated to perform prior notification of the jackpot game content lottery (round lottery and the opening pattern lottery of the second big winning opening 91). The lottery state is entered, and the number of rounds for the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 and the opening pattern (the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern) of the second winning opening 91 according to the winning symbol. Is set.
When a game ball enters the entrance 40a opened by the opening / closing member 47 during the big hit game content lottery state and the entrance SW 40b detects the opening / closing member 47, the opening / closing member 47 is displaced into the closed state, and the first entrance 42 to the third entrance. A ball enters any of the ball openings 44. Then, based on the type of the entrance into which the game ball has entered, the number of rounds assigned previously and the opening pattern of the second grand prize opening 91 are determined, and the accessory continuous operation device is activated to play the big hit game content. The lottery state ends, and a big hit game is performed over the determined big hit game content. In addition, the second big prize opening 91 is opened based on the determined opening pattern of the second big prize opening 91 in the fourth round of the big hit game of each maximum number of rounds.

  Here, the above-mentioned first opening pattern is an opening pattern in which the second big prize winning opening 91 is opened once every 30 seconds in the fourth round, as shown in FIG. 9A described later. . The second prize winning opening 91 is provided with a probability changing opening 94, and when 3 seconds have passed since the opening of the second prize winning opening 91, the sorting blade accessory 93 is opened for 5 seconds, and the probability changing opening 94 has a game. It becomes possible to enter a ball. The prescribed number of the second grand prize opening 91 is 10, and the opening of the second big prize opening 91 based on the first opening pattern is set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds. For example, the game ball that has entered the second grand prize winning port 91 enters the probability changing port 94 and shifts to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game.

Further, the second opening pattern described above is, as shown in FIG. 9B described later, in the fourth round, the second big winning opening 91 is opened for 0.1 seconds and then closed for 8 seconds, After that, it is an opening pattern that opens again for 29.9 seconds. Note that the opening / closing operation of the sorting blade accessory 93 is constant regardless of whether the opening pattern of the second prize winning opening 91 is the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern. However, since the first opening time of the second grand prize opening 91 is 0.1 seconds, the game ball fired from the launching device 64 is played at the second big winning opening 91 by the first opening. It is difficult to enter a ball, and even if a ball is entered, since the sorting blade accessory 93 is closed, the game ball does not enter the probability variation port 94.
In addition, even if the second winning opening 91 is opened for the second time, the sorting blade role 93 is closed, so that even if the second winning opening 91 is entered, the probability changing opening 94 is entered. It is difficult to make it. When the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is the second opening pattern, it is difficult to shift to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finished.

It is included.

  The symbols constituting the symbol A group to the symbol H group are 6 types of symbols, respectively. Further, there are three types of symbols constituting the symbol I group and the symbol J group. Each of the symbol K group and the symbol L group is one type. Therefore, when winning, the probability that each winning symbol is selected from the symbol A group to the symbol L group is set to 1/56.

With reference to FIG. 9, the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 will be described.
The jackpot game of this embodiment includes a jackpot game in which the maximum number of rounds is set to 4 rounds, a jackpot game in which 10 rounds are set, and a jackpot game in which 16 rounds are set. In any jackpot game in which the maximum number of rounds is set, the second big prize opening 91 is opened in the fourth round, and the first big prize opening 14 is opened in the other rounds. A probable opening 94 is provided in the second grand prize winning port 91. If it is possible to enter the probability changing hole 94, it is possible to shift to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finished.
As described above, there are two types of opening patterns for the second big winning opening 91, the first opening pattern and the second opening pattern.

With reference to FIG. 9 (a), a jackpot game in which the second big winning opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern will be described.
The four rounds in which the second grand prize opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern has a maximum opening time of 30 seconds when the second big prize opening 91 is opened once.
When 3 seconds have elapsed since the opening of the second big prize opening 91, the sorting blade accessory 93 in the second big prize opening 91 is opened, and is opened for a maximum of 5 seconds. When the sorting blade accessory 93 is opened, it becomes possible to allow a game ball to enter the probability variation port 94. When the lapse of the maximum opening time of the sorting blade accessory 93 or when a game ball is detected by the probability changing mouth SW 94a, the sorting blade accessory 93 is closed.
The prescribed number of the second grand prize opening 91 is 10, and the opening of the second big prize opening 91 based on the first opening pattern is set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds. For example, the game ball that has entered the second grand prize winning port 91 enters the probability changing port 94 and shifts to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game.
When the number of game balls that have entered the second grand prize opening 91 reaches the specified number (10) or when the opening time of the second big prize opening 91 has passed 30 seconds, the second big prize opening is closed. The fourth round ends.

With reference to FIG. 9 (b), a jackpot game in which the second big winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern will be described.
In the fourth round when the second grand prize opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern, the second big prize opening 91 is opened for 0.1 seconds and then closed for 8 seconds, and then again for a maximum of 29.9 seconds. Is released. When 3 seconds have elapsed since the opening of the second grand prize opening 91 for 0.1 seconds, the sorting blade accessory 93 in the second big prize opening 91 is opened for a maximum of 5 seconds. When the lapse of the maximum opening time of the sorting blade accessory 93 or when a game ball is detected by the probability changing mouth SW 94a, the sorting blade accessory 93 is closed.
However, since the first opening time of the second grand prize opening 91 is 0.1 seconds, the game ball fired from the launching device 64 is released to the second big prize opening 91 at the first opening. It is difficult to enter the game ball, and even if it enters the game, the game ball does not enter the probability change port 94 because the timing of the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed.
In addition, even if the second winning opening 91 is opened for the second time, the sorting blade role 93 is closed, so that even if the second winning opening 91 is entered, the probability changing opening 94 is entered. It is difficult to make it. When the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is the second opening pattern, it is difficult to shift to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finished.
When the number of game balls that have entered the second grand prize opening 91 reaches the specified number (10) or when the opening time of the second big prize opening 91 has passed 30 seconds, the second big prize opening is closed. The fourth round ends.

Since the opening time of the second grand prize opening 91 based on the first opening pattern and the opening time of the sorting blade accessory 93 overlap, the game ball that entered the second big winning opening 91 enters the probability changing mouth 94. It becomes easy to make a ball. Thereby, there is a high possibility that the game state is shifted to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finished.
However, in the case of opening the second grand prize opening 91 based on the second opening pattern, it is difficult to enter the game ball into the second big prize opening 91 because the first opening time is as short as 0.1 seconds. It has become. Even if a game ball can enter, since the sorting blade accessory 93 is closed, it is guided to the lost mouth 92b. Even if the second grand prize winning opening 91 is opened for the second time, since the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed, it flows down the route arranged on the back of the game board and is guided to the probability variation setting device 92. The game ball discharged from the discharge port 92a is guided to the lost port 92b. Therefore, when the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is set to the second opening pattern, there is a high possibility that the game will not shift to the high-probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game.

The jackpot game executed according to the winning symbols of the first special chart and the second special chart of this embodiment is either a 16-round jackpot game, a 10-round jackpot game, or a 4-round jackpot game.
In the present embodiment, the second grand prize winning port 91 is played in four rounds which are the same number of rounds as the final round of the four round jackpot game consisting of the minimum number of the big hit games consisting of the above three maximum rounds. Is released.
In the present embodiment, the second round winning opening 91 is opened in the fourth round, but is not limited.
As long as it is between “1 round” of the jackpot game and “the minimum number of rounds of the jackpot game”, the second big winning opening 91 may be opened in any round.
Further, in this embodiment, the second grand prize winning opening 91 is opened only in four rounds, but the second big winning prize opening 91 may be opened in a plurality of rounds (for example, in the second and fourth rounds, the second winning prize opening 91 may be opened). 2 major winning openings 91 are opened). In addition to the round in which the second grand prize winning opening 91 is opened, the first big winning prize opening 91 is assumed to be opened.

In this embodiment, only the 16-round jackpot game, the 10-round jackpot game, or the 4-round jackpot game, which is the jackpot game to be executed, was performed according to the winning symbols of the first special chart and the second special chart. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the average round and the number of rounds are different from the first entrance 42 such as “8 rounds, 12 rounds, 16 rounds” of 12 rounds and “12 rounds, 14 rounds, 16 rounds” of 14 rounds on average. The winning symbols set to be assigned to the third entrance 44 may be used, or these winning symbols may be included as a new symbol group.
However, if it is included, the minimum number of rounds allocated to the plurality of entrances according to the winning symbols other than the winning symbols shown in FIG. 7 (b) and FIG. It must be at least round (4R) with open mouth.

Below, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.

  In S10, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the main routine has been activated by a normal timer interrupt. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to S20 and a negative determination is made. If the determination is obtained (S10: No), the process proceeds to S15.

In S15, the main controller 80 performs initial settings such as CPU and I / O, and shifts the processing to S80.
On the other hand, if a positive determination is obtained in S10, the main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), the big hit determination random number (S25), the big hit symbol determination random number update (S30), The hit determination random number is updated (S35), the reach determination random number is updated (S40), and the fluctuation pattern determination random number is updated (S45).

  Then, the main control device 80 performs a winning confirmation process for detecting the winning of a game ball to a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), and a determination process for determining whether or not to win a lottery due to winning at the starting opening (S55). ), A big hit game process (S60) for performing a big hit game that gives a predetermined game value to the player when winning the big hit lottery. In addition, a normal symbol win / fail determination process for performing a normal symbol lottery or the like due to the passage of the game ball through the normal symbol operation gate 17 (S65), and opening the normal electric accessory (second start port 12). A general game process for performing a game (S67), a fraud monitoring process for detecting a player's fraud (S70), data and commands are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc. Each output process for transmitting information is performed (S75).

In S80, main controller 80 repeatedly updates the initial value random number until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.
(2) Start Port Prize Confirmation Process Next, a start opening prize confirmation process for detecting a winning at the first start opening 11 and the second start opening 12 and performing a storage and holding in accordance with the winning is shown in FIG. This will be described using the described flowchart. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starter 11 based on the detection signal of the first starter SW11a (S100). If the determination is negative (S100: no), the process proceeds to S120. If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this In the embodiment, it is determined whether or not four (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), the above random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory, the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), Prefetch determination processing is performed (S115), and the process proceeds to S120. In S110, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the first hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the first hold memory.

  In S115, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the newly generated jackpot determination random number related to the first hold memory is a specific value (a value that is a win in the jackpot lottery) and the reach determination random number related to the hold memory. Are pre-determined for determining the winning symbol when winning in the big hit lottery based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol. Then, a prefetch command indicating the result of the prefetch determination and the type of the first special figure corresponding to the reserved storage for which the prefetch determination has been performed is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Note that the prefetch determination command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high.

  If there are already four first hold memories (S105: yes), no hold is stored, and the process proceeds to S120 without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol hold number display device 18.

  When it is determined that no game ball has entered the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S120, and based on the detection signal of the second start port SW12a, the game ball is input to the second start port 12. It is determined whether or not the ball has been entered. If the determination is affirmative (S120: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment) In step S125, it is determined whether the number is four.

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S125: no), the above random numbers are stored as the second reserved memory, the number of lighting of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S130), the second A prefetch determination process is performed (S135), and the process returns. In S130, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the second hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the second hold memory.

In S135, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the newly generated big hit determination random number related to the second hold memory is a specific value (a value that is won in the big hit lottery), and the reach determination random number related to the hold memory. Are pre-determined for determining the winning symbol when winning in the big hit lottery based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol. Then, a prefetch command indicating the result of the prefetch determination and the type of the second special figure corresponding to the hold storage for which the prefetch determination has been performed is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.
Note that the prefetch determination command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high.

  If there are already four second hold memories (S125: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 12 (S120: no).

(3) About the success / failure determination process Next, the success / failure determination process in which the big hit lottery is performed using the big hit determination random number related to the hold storage will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine.

  First, with reference to FIG. 12, in S150, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous action device is in operation. And if it is affirmation determination, ie, it is operating (S150: Yes), this processing will be ended, and if it is not negative determination, ie, it is not operating (S150: No), processing will shift to S155.

In S155, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the “lottery flag” is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S155: Yes), the process proceeds to S460 in FIG. 16, and if the determination is negative (S155: No), the process proceeds to S160.
The “lottery flag” is a flag indicating that “big hit game content lottery process” is being executed when 1 is set.

  In S160, the main control device 80 is in a period during which the condition device is in operation, that is, after the winning judgment is made, and until the accessory continuous operation device is activated (the special electric accessory is activated). Determine. If the determination is affirmative (S160: Yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. 16, and if the determination is negative (S160: No), the process proceeds to S165.

  In S165, main controller 80 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure is being stopped (whether or not the variable display is being performed). If the determination is affirmative (S165: Yes), the process proceeds to S170. If the determination is negative (S165: No), the process proceeds to S300 in FIG.

  In S170, main controller 80 determines whether or not the final display of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S170: Yes), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 15, and if the determination is negative (S170: No), the process proceeds to S200 in FIG.

  In S200, main controller 80 determines whether there is a second reserved memory (the above-described reserved memory in S130 of FIG. 11). If there is a second reserved memory (S200: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S205), and the process proceeds to S220. If there is no second reserved memory (S200: no), it is determined whether there is a first reserved memory (the above-mentioned reserved memory in S110 of FIG. 11) (S210). In the case of negative determination (S210: no), the process proceeds to jackpot game processing. If there is the first reserved memory (S210: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S215), and the process proceeds to S220.

  The second hold memory (however, if the second hold exists, the second hold is given priority even if the first hold is older) is read (the hold memory is deleted), and the probability change flag is set ( That is, it is determined whether or not 1) (S220). Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S220: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S225). Here, the hit probability in the high probability gaming state is 1/120. If the determination is negative (S220: no), the read jackpot determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S230). Here, the hit probability in the normal probability gaming state is 1/290. In the present embodiment, the jackpot probability is an approximate number thereof (normally 1/290, high probability state (probability change) is 1/120).

  Based on the determination in S225 or S230, it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit (S235). If the determination is affirmative (S235: yes), the winning symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S240). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S245). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a jackpot setting process is performed (S250). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design and obtains the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information about the jackpot game (opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) It is processing.

  If it is determined in S235 that it is out (S235: no), the lost symbol is determined by the jackpot symbol determining random number (S255). The variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S260), the loss setting process (S265) is performed, and the process is merged to S270. In the loss setting process of S265, a process of subtracting the number of time reductions is performed.

  Subsequent to S250 or S265, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating a big hit, reach out (removed but with reach display), or out of reach without display, and a change time are designated. A variation start command (display control command) including variation pattern data to be output is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S270), and a big hit game process is performed. Note that the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbols by the process of S270, but the main control device 80 also starts the variation of the special symbols almost simultaneously.

  If it is determined in S165 in FIG. 12 that the special symbol is changing (S165: yes), it is determined in S300 in FIG. 14 whether the symbol change time (based on the change pattern in S245 or S260) has elapsed. To do. In the case of a negative determination (S300: no), the process directly proceeds to the big hit game process. In the case of an affirmative determination (S300: yes), the big hit game process is performed after the confirmed symbol display process (S305). In the fixed symbol display process, a command for displaying a fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let

  If it is determined in S170 in FIG. 12 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S170: yes), it is determined in S350 in FIG. 15 whether the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. In the case of a negative determination (S350: no), the process directly proceeds to the big hit game process. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S355), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a big hit (S360). When it is determined that the display is a big hit (S360: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375. In S375, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the time reduction flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S385. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S385 as it is.

  In S385, the big hit flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. In the subsequent S390, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in the subsequent S390, prior to the “big hit game content lottery” of the present embodiment, the “big hit game content advance notification” is executed to the sub integrated control device 83. Therefore, a “hit game content lottery advance notification command” is transmitted, and the process shifts to a jackpot game process.

If it is determined in S360 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win (S360: no), it is determined whether the probability change flag is 1 (S400) or 1 (S400: yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S405). If the probability variation count is 0 (S405: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S410, and the process proceeds to S415. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S400: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S405: no), the processing proceeds to S415 as it is.
In S415, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1 (S415). If it is 1 (S415: yes), it is determined whether or not the time reduction count is 0 (S420). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S420: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S425 and the process proceeds to S430. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S415: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S420: no), the process directly proceeds to S430 and then proceeds to the big hit game process.

In S430, the main control device 80 sends a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is definitely changing, whether or not the time is short, etc., to the sub integrated control device 83 after a special symbol determination time (600 ms). Send to.
In this embodiment, the timing for transmitting the state designation command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the special symbol success / failure determination processing is after the special symbol determination time, but at the time of starting the special symbol variation. In addition, a state designation command may be transmitted even when the power is restored.

  In S160 of FIG. 12, it is determined that the condition device is in operation, that is, after the winning / failing determination, and until the accessory continuous operation device is activated (the special electric accessory is activated). In this case (S160: yes), in S450 of FIG. 16, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the execution time of the “big hit game content lottery advance notification” has elapsed (terminated), and in the case of a positive determination (S450: Yes), the process proceeds to S455, and in the case of a negative determination (S450: No), the process ends and the process proceeds to a big hit game process (S60 in FIG. 10).

  In S455, main controller 80 sets “lottery flag” to 1, and the process proceeds to S460. In S460, a “hit game content lottery process” for determining the contents of the jackpot game (the number of rounds and the opening pattern of the second big prize port 91) according to the entrance to the entrance is executed, and the process is executed in S465. Transition. The “big hit game content lottery process” of S460 is configured as one module of the success / failure determination process, and the detailed process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In S465, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the setting of the jackpot game content (setting of the number of rounds and the opening pattern of the second winning prize port 91) has been completed in the above “big hit game content lottery process”. (S465) If the determination is affirmative (S465: Yes), the process proceeds to S470, and if the determination is negative (S465: No), the process ends and the process proceeds to a big hit game process (S60 in FIG. 10). .
Then, when the setting of the big hit game content (the setting of the number of rounds and the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91) is completed, the main control device 80 starts the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in S470, and the lottery The flag is set to 0 (S475), and a big hit game start process is performed in S480.
In the jackpot game start processing, a command indicating the number of rounds of the jackpot game, a command for instructing the start of the jackpot game, and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, etc.) are sub-integrated control devices 83. When the success / failure determination process ends, the process shifts to a big hit game process.

(4) About the jackpot game content lottery process Next, the jackpot game content (the number of rounds of the jackpot game and the opening pattern of the second jackpot 91) is determined according to the type of the entrance into which the game ball has entered. The “hit game content lottery process (S460)” will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is called from the success / failure determination process.

First, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the allocation of the jackpot game content (number of rounds, opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91) is completed (S500), and if it is a negative determination (S500: no), the process proceeds to S505. If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process proceeds to S520.
In S505, the main controller 80 makes a jackpot game content lottery state indicating that the sub-integrated control device 83 has shifted to the jackpot game content lottery state (round lottery state and open pattern lottery state of the second big winning opening 91). Send the specified command.

  In subsequent S510, the main controller 80 determines from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance based on which of the symbols constituting the symbol group shown in FIG. 7B and FIG. The process of assigning the number of rounds and the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 to 44 is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S515.

  In S515, the main control device 80 controls to open / close the opening / closing member solenoid 47a, thereby opening and closing the opening / closing member 47 to open the inlet 40a that is the starting point of the guide path 40, and the process proceeds to S520. .

  Based on the detection signal of the entrance SW 40b, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the entrance 40a (S520). In the case of a negative determination (S520: no), the big hit game content lottery process in FIG. 17 ends, and the process proceeds to S465 in FIG. If the determination is affirmative (S520: yes), in S525, the opening / closing member solenoid 47a is controlled to be closed, whereby the opening / closing member 47 is closed and displaced to close the inlet 40a, which is the starting point of the guide path 40. , The process proceeds to S530.

  It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered any of the first entrance port 42 to the third entrance port 44 (S530). In the case of negative determination (S530: no), the determination of S530 is performed again. If the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), a jackpot game content setting process is performed (S535), the jackpot game content lottery process in FIG. 17 is terminated, and the process proceeds to S465 in FIG.

  In the above-described jackpot game content setting process (S535), the main controller 80 determines the jackpot game assigned to the entrance of the game from the first entrance 42 to the second entrance 44. The contents (number of rounds, opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91) are set as the contents of the current big hit game.

(5) About the jackpot game process Next, the jackpot game process for controlling the progress of the jackpot game will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine.

  In the jackpot game process shown in FIG. 18, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous action device is operating, that is, whether the jackpot game is being executed (S550). When the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S550: no), the big hit game process is terminated (returned) as it is. When the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S550: yes), the probability change passage confirmation process (S555) is performed.

Next, the probability variation mouth passage confirmation process (S555 in FIG. 18) for detecting a ball entering the probability variation opening 94 provided in the probability variation determination device 92 during the big hit game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In S850, it is determined whether or not the probability variation valid flag is 0. If the determination is affirmative (S850: yes), the process proceeds to S855. In the case of negative determination (S850: no), the probability changing mouth passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 23 is ended (returned), and the process proceeds to S560 in FIG. If the probability change valid flag is “1”, the game ball properly enters the probability change port 94, and shifts to the high probability game state after the big hit game ends.
In S855, it is determined whether or not the ball has entered the probability changing port 94 based on the detection signal from the probability changing port SW94a. And in affirmation determination (S855: yes), it transfers to S860. In the case of negative determination (S855: no), the probability changing mouth passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 23 is terminated (returned), and the process proceeds to S560 in FIG.
In S860, it is determined whether or not a probability variation normal flag to be described later is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S860: yes), the probability variation valid flag is set to 1 in S865, and the probability variation passage passage confirmation in FIG. 23 is confirmed. The process ends, and the process proceeds to S560. In the case of negative determination (S860: no), the probability changing mouth passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 23 is terminated (returned), and the process proceeds to S560 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. In S560, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first grand prize winning opening 14 is open (S560). If the first grand prize opening 14 is not being opened (S560: no), it is determined whether or not the second big prize opening 91 is being opened (S565). If the second big prize opening 91 is not open (S565: no), it is determined whether the first big prize opening 14 and the second big prize opening 91 are closed during the interval between rounds (S570). If it is not during the interval (S570: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S575). If this is also a negative determination (S575: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the presentation to start the big hit game has passed (S580). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S580: yes), the first big prize opening opening process (S585) is performed and this process is terminated.

  If it is determined in S560 that the first grand prize opening 14 is open (S560: yes), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 19 and it is determined whether or not ten first big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten pieces are won in the first big prize opening 14 (S600: yes), the process proceeds to S610, and the first big prize opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S615) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended. When ten pieces have not been won in the first big winning opening 14 (S600: no), the process proceeds to S605, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the case of big hits in 4 rounds, 10 rounds, and 16 rounds, the maximum opening time of the first big winning opening 14 in each round other than the fourth round is set to 30 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this opening time. When the opening time is over (S605: yes), the process goes to S610, and when it is not over (S605: no), the big hit game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S565 that the second grand prize winning opening 91 is being opened (S565: yes), the process proceeds to S620 in FIG. 19 and shifts to a sorting blade accessory control process (S620).

With reference to FIG. 22, the sorting blade accessory control process (S620) will be described.
In S800, the main controller 80 determines whether or not 3 seconds have elapsed since the second big prize winning opening 91 was opened (S800). If the determination is negative (S800: no), the process proceeds to S820. If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), it is determined in S805 whether or not the sorting blade accessory 93 is closed (S805). If a negative determination is made (S805: no), the process proceeds to S820. If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the sorting blade accessory 93 is opened (S810), the probability variation normal flag is set to “1” (S815), and the process proceeds to S820. If the probability variation normal flag is set to “1”, the sorting blade accessory 93 is open and a game ball can enter the probability variation aperture 94.

In S820, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the sorting blade accessory 93 is being opened. If the determination is negative (S820: no), the sorting blade accessory control process shown in FIG. 22 is terminated, and the process proceeds to S625 in FIG.
If the determination is affirmative (S820: yes), it is determined whether or not the entrance of a game ball has been detected by the probability variation SW 94a (S825). If the determination is affirmative (S825: yes), the process proceeds to S835 as it is. In the case of negative determination (S825: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the sorting blade accessory 93 has ended (S830). If the determination is negative (S830: no), the distribution blade accessory control process shown in FIG. 22 is terminated, and the process proceeds to S625 in FIG.
If the determination is affirmative (S830: yes), the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed (S835), the normal change normal flag is set to 0 (S840), and the distribution blade control shown in FIG. The process ends, and the process proceeds to S625 in FIG.

Returning to FIG. When the distribution blade accessory control process in S620 ends, the process proceeds to S625. In S625, the main controller 80 determines whether or not 10 second winning prize ports 91 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten wins are made in the second big winning opening 91 (S625: yes), the process proceeds to S635. When ten pieces have not been won in the second big winning opening 91 (S625: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second big winning opening 91 has ended (S630). If the determination is affirmative (S630: yes), the process proceeds to S635. In S635, the second big winning opening 91 is closed, the big hit interval process (S640) is executed, and the big hit game process is ended. If the opening time of the second big winning opening 91 has not ended (S630: no), the big hit game process is ended.
In the present embodiment, the second big prize opening 91 that is opened based on the first opening pattern in four rounds is set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds in one opening. Note that the second grand opening based on the second opening pattern is set to an opening time of 0.1 seconds for the first opening and an opening time of 29.9 seconds for the second opening. In addition, when the distribution blade combination 93 is not closed at the time of execution of S635, the distribution blade combination 93 is closed with a slight delay from the closing of the second big prize winning opening 91.

When it is determined in S570 in FIG. 18 that the interval is in progress (S570: yes), the process proceeds to S700 in FIG. 20 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S700: yes), it is determined whether or not the first round winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 91 was opened immediately before in the final round (S705). If it is the final round (S705: yes), a big hit end effect process (S710) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended.
If it is not the final round (S705: no), it is determined whether or not the big winning opening to be opened in the next round is the first big winning opening (S715). If the determination is affirmative (S715: yes), the process of opening the first big winning opening 14 (S720) is performed again, and the big hit game process is terminated. If it is determined that the currently opened grand prize opening is not the first big prize opening 14 (S715: no), a process of opening the second big prize opening 91 is performed (S725), and thereafter Big hit game processing. When it is determined that the jackpot interval time has not elapsed (S700: no), the jackpot game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening and closing the first grand prize winning port 14 and the second grand prize winning port 91, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  When it is determined in S575 in FIG. 18 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S750 in FIG. 21 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S750: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S755), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S760). Then, during the big hit game, it is determined whether or not the probability variation valid flag indicating that a ball has entered the probability variation opening 94 provided in the probability variation determination device 92 is 1 (S765). If the determination is affirmative (S765: yes), probability variation setting processing is performed (S770). In S770, the probability variation number is set to 100 times. Thereafter, the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S775), and the process proceeds to S780. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S765: no), the process proceeds to S780.

In S780, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the time-saving state after the end of the big hit game (S780). If the determination is negative (S780: no), the process proceeds to S795. If the determination is affirmative (S780: yes), a time reduction count setting process is performed in S785. In S780, the number of time reductions is set to 100. Thereafter, the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S790), and the process goes to S795. Of course, it may be configured not to set the number of time reductions.
Then, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S795) is performed, a state designation command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S797), and the jackpot game process is terminated.
It should be noted that the number of time reductions set in S780 is set to 100 times for both normal big hits and probability big hits. When the time flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, an average extension time shortening of the special symbol, an average fluctuation time reduction of the normal symbol, and an opening extension function for extending the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 are set.

  The ball game machine according to the present embodiment has a jackpot probability of 1/290 in the normal probability game state and a jackpot probability of 1/120 in the high probability game state after the jackpot game ends when the ball enters the probability variation hole 94. The number of times of probability change and the number of time reductions is given 100 times, and the number of time reductions of 100 times is given after the end of the big hit game when the player does not enter the probability variation port 94. According to this configuration, since the probability variation number is set to 100 times, there is no certainty that the game is determined to be a big hit even if the game is shifted to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game ends. Even if it is given only once, it can be expected to some extent that it is determined to be a big hit.

With the above-described configuration, for example, if it is premised that a big hit is won again in a high-probability gaming state when the symbols constituting the symbol A group shown in FIG. The first winning opening 42 in which the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is assigned to the first opening pattern, rather than the third entering opening 44 in which the opening pattern of the big winning opening 91 is assigned to the second opening pattern. It seems more advantageous to enter the second entrance 43.
However, given that it is not possible to win the big hit again in the high probability game state, taking into account that it is possible to win the big win again in the open extended state after the jackpot game ends (number of times 100 times short), For example, it is assigned to the second opening pattern and 16 rounds rather than the first entrance opening 42 assigned to the first opening pattern and 10 rounds and the second entrance opening 43 assigned to the second opening pattern and 4 rounds. It seems that it is more advantageous to enter the third entrance 44. In other words, with the above-described configuration, the advantageous entrance is different depending on the premise of the player.

  (6) About display mode at the time of lottery game content lottery

With reference to FIG. 24, the effect display mode executed by the sub-integrated control device 83 based on the command transmitted from the main control device 80 during the big hit game content lottery process will be described.
When the main control device 80 executes a special symbol variation display that is a big hit, the sub-integrated control device 83 displays the production symbol 1000 on the screen of the production symbol display device 6 in a variable manner, and the reach display shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 24 (b), the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the jackpot symbol is displayed as “555” and the player is informed that the jackpot has been won. In addition, in the display example of FIG. 24, the case (refer FIG.7 (b)) when the symbol which comprises the symbol A group as a jackpot symbol is determined and displayed is shown as an example.

When the predetermined display time elapses after the decisive display of the big hit symbol is started and the definite display time ends, the main control device 80 transmits a big hit game content prior notification command to the sub integrated control device 83.
Receiving the jackpot game content advance notification command, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the comment 1002 of the character 1001 shown in FIG. 24C for a certain time (for example, 5 seconds) until the lottery game content lottery starts. The big hit game content prior notice is executed.
The jackpot game content prior notice will be described. A comment display 1002 is displayed for the character 1001 “Yo!

When the big hit game content advance notification is performed for the predetermined time, a big hit game content lottery state designation command is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83, and the opening / closing member 47 is opened.
At this time, the sub integrated control device 83 performs notification display in the form shown in FIG. 24 (d) based on the jackpot game content lottery state designation command. When the status display 1003 indicates “Lottery game content lottery in progress” and the recommended launch strength display 1006 displays “Right-handed to enter the ball!”, The third entry from the first entrance 42 is made. It is instructed to enter any of the entrances 44. Further, information notification related to the number of rounds that can be acquired in the jackpot game content information display 1004, information notification related to the transition to the high-probability gaming state, etc. are performed after the jackpot game ends.

As shown in FIG. 24 (e), when a game ball enters from the entrance 40a, information notification regarding the number of rounds that can be acquired in the jackpot game content information display 1004, transition to a high probability gaming state after the jackpot game is completed. Information related to is notified.
When a game ball enters from the entrance 40a, the main controller 80 causes the opening / closing member 47 to close.

  Then, when the number of rounds is set to 16 rounds and the opening pattern of the second grand prize opening 91 enters the third entrance 44 set to the first opening pattern, as shown in FIG. Notifying that the game ball has entered the third entrance 44 on the big hit game content information display 1004, and that the first opening pattern that makes it easy to enter the 16th round and the probable entrance 94 has been selected. Is notified.

In the present embodiment, it is desirable that it is difficult to distinguish the jackpot symbol displayed on the first special figure display device 9 and the second special figure display device 10. However, even if it is a jackpot symbol that is easy to distinguish, the contents of the jackpot game (the number of rounds allocated to the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 and the second winning prize 91 after the conditional operation device is activated). The opening pattern (whether it is easy to enter the probability variation opening 94) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in advance (see FIG. 24D), and no problem occurs.
However, whether or not it is easy to enter the probability changing hole 94, that is, if it is not notified in advance that the winning pattern opening pattern is likely to shift to a high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game, It is desirable to use jackpot symbols that are difficult to distinguish.

  According to the above-mentioned bullet ball gaming machine, the first special symbol or the second special symbol that causes the big hit game is displayed on the first special figure display device 9 or the second special figure display device 10 and then the big hit. In the process until the game is executed, not only the number of rounds is assigned from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44, but also the first opening pattern of the second big entrance 91 having a probability change entrance. And the second opening pattern can be assigned to influence whether or not a high probability gaming state is given after the end of the big hit game due to the return of the game ball, resulting in an amusing ball ball game machine

  Among the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, the second large symbol from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 is the second largest. Only the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern of the winning opening 91 is assigned, and the symbols set such that different numbers of rounds are assigned to each entrance (the symbols G group and H group shown in FIG. 7B). The opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is determined before entering the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44, so that the game ball Because it includes a jackpot symbol that only determines the number of rounds set by revenge, there are plenty of variations, which can further enhance the fun of the game.

  Further, in the special symbol winning symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, the jackpot game is played from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44. Designated to assign only the same number of rounds and assign the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern of the second grand prize opening to each entrance (design I group or design shown in FIG. 8A) Since the symbols that constitute the group J (the symbols I-1 to I-3 and J-1 to J-3 shown in FIG. 8B) are included, the first entrance 42 to the second The number of rounds set in the stage before entering the 3 entrance 44 is determined, and since there is a jackpot design that determines only the opening pattern of the 2nd entrance 91 by the return of the game ball, there are plenty of variations And can further enhance the fun of the game.

  In addition, among the special symbols displayed on the first special figure display device 9 or the second special figure display device 10, the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44, Only the same number of rounds of the big hit game is assigned, and only one of the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 is assigned to each entrance (see FIG. 8A). The number of rounds set in the stage before entering the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44, and the second grand prize set are included. Since the opening pattern of the mouth 91 includes the determined jackpot symbol, the variation becomes abundant and the entertainment of the game can be further enhanced.

  Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 9, different rounds from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 based on which winning symbol displayed in the first special view and the second special view. Even if the number is allocated, the round game that the second grand prize winning opening 91 opens in any of the 4-round jackpot game, the 10-round jackpot game, and the 16-round jackpot game is less than the minimum number of rounds. (B) and among the symbols constituting the symbol group shown in FIG. 8, the round game (fourth round) in which the second grand prize winning opening 91 is opened is executed no matter which symbol is confirmed and displayed. I can do it.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “win / fail determination means” of the present invention corresponds to the pass / fail determination process (S55), the “special symbol display device” corresponds to the first special diagram display device 9 and the second special diagram display device 10, and “specific region”. "Corresponds to the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44," distribution device "corresponds to the croon 41," round number allocation means "and" open pattern allocation means " Corresponding to the allocation process (S510), “round number setting means” and “open pattern setting means” correspond to the big hit game content setting process (S535), and “big hit game means” corresponds to the big hit game process (S60). Correspondingly, “first grand prize opening” corresponds to the first grand prize opening 14, “second big prize opening” corresponds to the second big prize opening 91, and “probability opening” corresponds to the probability changing opening 94. , "First opening pattern" corresponds to the first opening pattern, "second opening pattern" is the second opening Corresponds to turn, "predetermined round" corresponds to the fourth round.

  In the present embodiment, the number of rounds from the symbol A group to the symbol H group shown in FIG. 7B and the opening pattern determination table of the second big winning opening 91, and from the symbol I group to the symbol L group shown in FIG. The number of rounds and the opening pattern determination table of the second grand prize winning port 91 are common to the winning symbols of Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2. The configuration is not particularly limited to this, and may be configured to include a different number of rounds and an opening pattern determination table for the second grand prize opening 91 depending on the winning symbols of the special figure 1 and the special figure.

In this embodiment, the number of rounds assigned to the third entrance 44 from the first entrance 42, the average number of rounds, and the opening pattern of the second winning entrance 91 are determined regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50. The tables are the same, but are not particularly limited.
In the case of the present embodiment, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 can be divided into three states of only a normal probability gaming state, a normal probability gaming state and an open extension state, a high probability gaming state, and an open extension state. The configuration may include a round number, an average number of rounds, and an opening pattern determination table for the second grand prize winning port 91 that are assigned to the third ball entering port 44 from different first ball entrances 42 according to three different states.

  As described above, the number of rounds and the second large number differ depending on the configuration including the number of rounds different depending on the first special figure or the second special figure and the opening pattern determination table of the second grand prize opening 91 or the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50. By having a configuration including an opening pattern determination table for the winning opening 91, the number of rounds of the big hit game and the second grand winning are obtained by returning the game balls using the first to third inlets 42 to 43 of the croon 41. It is possible to further enhance the fun of the game of the ball game machine that sets the mouth opening pattern.

In the present embodiment, when shifting to the high-probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game, it is configured to shift to the open extended state. Therefore, after the big hit game is over, there is no transition to the high probability game state only.
For example, after the jackpot game is over, any one of a normal probability game state and a non-open extended state, a normal probability game state and an open extended state, a high probability game state and a non-open extended state, a high probability game state and an open extended state In the case of a configuration that shifts to the above, the number of rounds, the average number of rounds, and the second grand prize that are assigned to the third entrance 44 differ from the first entrance 42 depending on the gaming state to be transferred. The structure provided with the opening pattern determination table of the opening | mouth 91 may be sufficient.

In the present embodiment, the round assigned to the third entrance 44 from the first entrance 42 by the advance notification of the jackpot game content displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 24D). The player is informed of both the number and whether or not to shift to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game. For example, the game is assigned from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44. It may be configured that only one of the notification of the number of rounds received and the notification of whether or not to shift to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game can be notified to the player by the big hit game content prior notification. The other player is notified during the big hit game.
Whether or not the jackpot game content prior notice displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 makes a transition to the high probability gaming state after the jackpot game assigned from the first entrance 42 to the third entrance 44 is completed. Whether or not the number of assigned rounds is not displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 may be displayed.
