  The present invention relates to a ball game machine that performs a jackpot game in accordance with a result of a lottery resulting from entering a starting port and includes a non-electrical accessory.

  The current mainstream general pachinko gaming machine has two types of starting ports, a first starting port and a second starting port. When a game ball enters the first starting port, the random number value acquired at the time of entering the ball The jackpot determination is performed based on the first special symbol, and when the game ball enters the second starting port, the jackpot determination is performed based on the random number value acquired at the time of the ball landing. 2 The special symbol is used for notification. Also, a plurality of types of jackpot games are provided, and the probability of selecting a predetermined jackpot game is made different between the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  Note that currently mainstream models have many configurations in which the second special symbol is changed in preference to the first special symbol, but there are also models in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are displayed in a variable manner at the same time. In general, the first starting opening is formed with a winning opening where the ball entering rate does not always change, and the second starting opening is used for determination based on a random number value extracted when a game ball passes through the operation gate. It is formed by a winning opening made up of a variable winning device that is opened when it is determined that the game is winning.

  In addition, pachinko gaming machines include models called ordinary machines that do not have any electronic lottery function, and these ordinary machines are called so-called mechanical tulips that open and close only by their own weight. The game is demonstrated by providing <Patent Document 1>.

  The random number value extracted due to the entry of one game ball into the normal symbol operation gate, the first starting port or the second starting port may be plural types, and particularly to the first starting port or the second starting port. Random numbers extracted due to the entrance of the ball, at least in addition to the random number for determining whether or not to make a big hit that is advantageous to the player (hit determining means), whether or not It is preferable to use a random number used to determine the type of definite symbol to be displayed according to the determination result of the random number and the variation content (variation time) of the symbol. For example, a jackpot symbol determining random number, a reach determining random number Alternatively, a random number for determining a variation pattern may be used.

  Further, the extracted random number value may be stored with a predetermined number as an upper limit until the hit determination means or the big hit determination means is implemented (including a hold storage means). It is good also as a symbol reservation memory | storage means and a 2nd special symbol reservation memory | storage means.

  The first starting port that opens or expands when the ordinary electric accessory is activated is difficult to enter the game ball when the ordinary electric accessory that is activated by driving the electric actuator is not activated.

"When the front Symbol Average electric won game is activated, a configuration in which ball entrance blocking member disposed at a position to block the ball entrance to the first start hole is changed to ball entrance possible position," and is, for example, As the ball blocking member that protrudes into the game area is housed inside the board surface by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory, a path through which the game ball flows down appears and the ball can enter the first starting port. In other words, the phrase “changes to a position at which a ball can be entered” is sufficient if the ball entry preventing member is accommodated (the arrangement position is changed) to the extent that a game ball can pass.

  The second type non-electrical power that opens or expands the entrance of the second start port according to the passage of the game ball to the specific gate is an internal interlock using the weight of the game ball passing through the specific gate. The second starting port is opened or enlarged by the operation of the second type non-electrically-operated object, and the second starting port opened or expanded by the entry of a predetermined number of game balls A configuration in which entering is difficult or entering is not possible is preferable.

  “The specific gate is provided between the entrance prevention member and the first start port” means, for example, an entrance that prevents entry into the specific gate above the entrance of the specific gate. It is good also as a structure which has arrange | positioned the blocking member and provided the 1st starting port in the position where the game ball discharged | emitted from the exit of this specific gate enters easily. Positioning in a vertical row so that it is sandwiched vertically with the mouth). Further, for example, when the exit of the specific gate is not directly below the entrance of the specific gate, the ball blocking member, the specific gate, and the first start port may not be arranged in a vertical line. It is only necessary that the starting port is located under the exit of a specific gate (a position where the ball can be easily entered or all can enter).

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the entrance to the first start opening and the entrance to the second start opening are related, and it is possible to create a pachinko gaming machine that has never been interesting. It becomes possible.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications belonging to the technical scope of the present invention can be adopted, and the contents described in the respective embodiments can be appropriately combined. It goes without saying that this is possible.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board 1 of a pachinko machine in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in the game board 1, a substantially circular game area 3 surrounded by known guide rails 2a and 2b is divided into a first game area 3a and a second game area 3b. The left side of the center case 5 arranged in the center is the first game area 3a and the right side is the second game area 3b. The first game area 3a corresponds to the “first game area” of the present invention, and the second game area. 3b corresponds to “a second game area in which a game ball fired with a launch intensity different from the launch intensity for causing the game ball to flow down into the first game area” flows down.

  Accordingly, a game ball that has been launched with a firing strength greater than a predetermined launch strength for causing the game ball to flow down to the first game region reaches the second game region 3b, and reaches part A shown in the figure. The played game ball rolls on the second game area guide path A1, reaches the second game area 3b (right side of the center case 5), and the game ball not reaching A reaches the first game area 3a (left side of the center case 5). ) Will flow down. A large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b.

  The center case 5 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp passage, a stage 5a, a window for allowing the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 to face, and the like.

  A first start port A11 (corresponding to the first start port A of the present invention) is arranged under the center case 5, and a big winning port 14 is arranged under the first start port A11. A special area 110 is provided in the big winning opening 14, and when a game ball enters the specific area 110 during a big hit game, the game proceeds to a probable change state (high probability game state) after the big hit game ends. (Details will be described later). On the left side of the first starting port A11, four general winning ports 31, 32, 33, and 34 are provided. Note that the general winning openings 31 to 34 are ordinary winning openings in which the winning rate does not change.

  The first start opening A11 and the grand prize winning opening 14 are arranged such that game balls flowing down the first game area 3a can enter, but the first start opening A11 is formed of the center case 5 and the shape of the game nail. Only game balls that have flowed down the first game area 3a from the arrangement can enter (corresponding to the first start opening A in the first game area of the present invention), and the big winning opening 14 is the game area. 3 is arranged in the vicinity of the lowermost part of 3 so that a game ball flowing down the second game area 3b can also enter.

  In the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, a normal symbol operating gate 17 (corresponding to the normal symbol operating gate of the present invention) is arranged, and below it is a first start port B12 (normal electric accessory of the present invention). The first starting port B that opens or expands by the operation of the first starting port B and a specific winning port are arranged), and the lower left is operated by entering a specific winning port, that is, the first starting port B12. A second start port 13 (corresponding to the second start port of the present invention) of a mechanical tulip accessory that changes from a closed state to an open state by the second type non-electrically acting member is disposed.

  When the ball enters the first starting port B12, the second starting port B13, which is a mechanical tulip accessory, is opened by an internal mechanical interlock using the weight of the game ball. The outline of the mechanism is shown in FIG. It explains using.

  The above-described second type non-electrically-powered object is composed of the members shown in FIG. Specifically, the conversion mechanism composed of the conversion member f and the conversion member g has a right wing member b when the left wing member a and the right wing member b of the mechanical tulip (second starting port 13) are closed. The closed state is held (locked) by abutting and supporting the lower end of the ball, and when the game ball enters the first start opening B12, it is pressed by the weight of the game ball that has entered (force in the direction of the arrow). When the conversion member g swings and the conversion member f meshed with one tip of the conversion member g interlocks and swings, the other tip of the conversion member f is a mechanical tulip (second start port 13). The connecting rod e is pressed to unlock the closed state, and the left wing member a and the right wing member b are displaced to the open state.

  In addition, when the mechanical tulip (second start port 13) of the present embodiment is changed to the open state by the operation of the second type non-electrically-operated object, it is changed to the closed state by the entrance of two game balls. It is not limited to the number.

  Returning to FIG. 1, when both the first start port B12 and the second start port 13 are in the closed state, it is impossible to enter a game ball. Further, the normal symbol operating gate 17, the first starting port B12, the second starting port 13, and the big winning port 14 are arranged at positions where game balls flowing down the second game area 3b can enter, and the normal symbol operating gate 17 The first start port B12 and the second start port 13 are arranged so that only game balls flowing down the second game area 3b can enter (the normal game action gate and the second game area according to the present invention, Equivalent to the arrangement of the first start port B and the second start port).

  Below the second game area 3b, a normal symbol display device 7 consisting of a plurality of LEDs (corresponding to the normal symbol display device of the present invention), a normal symbol holding number display device 8 and a first 7-segment display device. A special symbol display device 9 (corresponding to one of the first special symbol display devices of the present invention), a second special symbol display device 10 (corresponding to one of the second special symbol display devices of the present invention), a plurality of The 1st special symbol reservation number display apparatus 18 and the 2nd special symbol reservation number display apparatus 19 which consist of LED are arrange | positioned. It becomes difficult for the player to reliably recognize the display contents of the various display devices arranged at this position, and the player who is playing the game pays attention to the display contents of the effect symbol display device 6 corresponding to the window portion of the center case 5. I do.

  By configuring the game board 1 as described above, the game ball enters the first start port A11 only when the game ball flows down to the first game area 3a (first start port switch 11a (see FIG. 3). ) Detects a game ball), the first special symbol starts to change in the first special symbol display device 9, and stops after a predetermined time.

  When the game ball flows down to the second game area 3b, the game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 17 (the normal symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball), and the normal symbol display device 7 The symbol starts changing display, and the electric utility solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) to be described later is driven in accordance with the mode of the normal symbol stopped after a predetermined time. When the ordinary electric accessory is actuated by the drive of the universal electric component solenoid 12b and the blade member of the first start port B12 changes to the open state, the ball enters the first start port B12 (the first start port switch B12a (FIG. 3)). Reference)) is possible. When the game ball enters the first start port B12 (the first start port B switch 12a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball), the first special symbol display device 9 starts the variable display of the first special symbol. Stop after a predetermined time.

  Further, when a game ball enters the first start port B12 when the second start port 13 is closed, the operation described with reference to FIG. 13 changes to an open state, and the game ball can enter the second start port 13. When a game ball enters the second start port 13 (when the second start port switch 13a (see FIG. 3) detects a game ball), the second special symbol display device 10 starts a variable display, Stop after a predetermined time. The second start port 13 changed to the open state changes to the closed state when two game balls enter.

  During the fluctuation of the first special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as the first special symbol) and the second special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as the second special symbol), the production symbol display device 6 produces an effect linked to the fluctuation of each special symbol. The mode is displayed. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time, and each special symbol is uniquely set according to the entrance to the first starting port and the second starting port. The display is changed in the order of entry, but if the special symbol of one of the special symbols is confirmed and the other special symbol is in the variable display, the variable display of the other special symbol is forcibly terminated. Display the result. However, in this case, the success / failure determination result indicating the loss is always displayed regardless of the actual determination result. When the big hit game ends, the simultaneous change starts again.

  A special prize opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 3), which will be described later, is driven in accordance with the manner in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are confirmed and displayed. When the big prize opening solenoid 14b is driven, the door member of the big prize opening 14 is opened almost synchronously, and a game ball enters the big prize opening 14 (the count switch 14a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball). Is configured to be possible.

  In addition, the pachinko machine in this embodiment is comprised as a probability fluctuation machine. More specifically, the games by the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment are roughly classified into a game in which the big prize opening 14 is closed and a jackpot game in which the big prize opening 14 is opened. , Categorized roughly, the normal probability state (hereinafter referred to as normal state), and the probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as high probability) that is advantageous to the player (high probability of being a big hit and easy to hit a big hit) compared to the normal state State)).

  The probable state is set so that a game ball enters the specific area 110 in the big winning opening 14 during the big hit game, so that it shifts after the big hit game ends. If a game ball does not enter the specific area 110, the game moves to a normal state (low probability state) after the big hit game ends.

  After the transition to the normal state, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened by a specified number of times (for example, 100 times), and the short state is reached when the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory is activated. If the variation time of special symbols and normal symbols (the time from the start of variation until the result is displayed) is shortened, the number of times the variation display is performed within a certain time is increased.

  Specifically, in the time-short state of the present embodiment, the time of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display device 7 is reduced along with the reduction of the special symbol variation time, but the variation display of the normal symbol is shortened. Thus, the fixed symbol is displayed in a fixed number of times within a certain time. Therefore, the number of times that the normal symbol hits within a certain time increases, and the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric accessory also increases. In addition, since the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is set to be long (open extended state), it becomes easy to win a large number of game balls. By making it easy for a large number of game balls to win in this way, the number of times of special symbol variation display is further increased. Can play a variety of games.

  In the present embodiment, when shifting to the probability variation state, the time-short state (open extended state) is always set, and in this state, in addition to the above-mentioned time-short state, the special symbol jackpot probability is high (a state where it is easy to hit the jackpot). Therefore, the gaming state is further advantageous to the player.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the prize winning opening 14 performs 12 opening operations (12 rounds of big hit game) regardless of which of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a big hit. Only the final 12 lands are judged to enter the specific area 110 that influences the transition to the probability change state (when a game ball enters the specific area 11, the transition to the probability change state after the big hit game ends) The setting of the number of seconds for opening the final winning opening 14 in the final 12 rounds is different between the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol and the jackpot symbol of the second special symbol. Although details will be described later, when the first special symbol is a big hit, there may be a situation in which it is difficult for a game ball to enter the specific area 110 in the final 12 rounds, whereas in the second special symbol, It is set so that a game ball easily enters the specific area 110 with a big hit. With this configuration, the second special symbol is more advantageous for the player than the first special symbol.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 50, and is configured around the main controller 80. In this block diagram, a so-called relay board and a power supply circuit that merely relay signals are not described.

Detection of a state detection switch 13b (state detection means) for detecting the open state of the second starting port 13, a general winning port switch 31a for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning ports 31, 32, 33, 34, etc. No. is input. The game ball detected by the specific area switch 110a is configured to detect the count switch 14a after the detection. The state detection switch 13b only needs to be able to detect either the open state or the closed state. For example, a so-called micro switch or a photo sensor may be used. If the state detection switch 13b is used only for production, the sub-integrated control device 83 may be connected.

  The main control device 80 operates in accordance with the installed program, generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above-described detection signals and outputs them to the payout control device 81 and the sub integrated control device 83. The main controller 80 also displays the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10, and the normal symbol display device 7 connected via the symbol display device relay terminal board 90, and the first special symbol hold. The lighting of the number display device 18, the second special symbol hold number display device 19, and the normal symbol hold number display device 8 is controlled.

  Further, the main control device 80 controls the opening / closing of the special winning opening 14 by controlling the special winning opening solenoid 14b, and controls the first electric start opening B12 by controlling the common electric component (normal electric combination) solenoid 12b. The opening / closing operation of the door member of the ordinary electric accessory is controlled. The output signal from the main controller 80 is also output to the test signal terminal, and a management signal such as symbol variation and big hit (also called special game) is output to the external connection terminal 78 and sent to the hall computer 87. .

  The main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 perform two-way communication. The payout control device 81 controls the payout motor 20 in accordance with a command sent from the main control device 80 and pays out a prize ball. In this embodiment, the detection signal of the payout switch 21 for counting game balls to be paid out as prize balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 counts the prize balls. In addition, it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout switch 21 is input to the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 and both the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 count the prize balls.

  The payout control device 81 receives signals from the glass frame opening switch 35, the inner frame opening switch 36, the full switch 22, and the ball break switch 23, and a signal indicating that the lower plate 63 is full by the full switch 22. And when a signal indicating that there are few or no game balls in the ball tank is input by the ball break switch 23, the payout motor 20 is stopped and the payout operation of the prize ball is stopped. Note that the full switch 22 and the ball break switch 23 are also configured to continue outputting signals until the state is cleared, and the payout control device 81 causes the payout motor 20 to stop being output. Restart the drive.

  Also, the payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 20 by communicating with the prepaid card unit via the CR unit terminal plate 24, and discharges the rental balls. The paid-out lending ball is detected by the payout switch 21, and the detection signal is input to the payout control device 81.

Is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82, and the sound control and lamp control are distributed to each control part (function unit as a sound control device and a lamp control device) included in itself. Then, the function unit as the sound control device controls the sound output from the speaker by operating the sound LSI based on the data for sound control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control. The various LED and lamp 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 is connected to an effect button switch 67a for detecting the operation of the effect button 67. When the player operates the effect button 67, the signal is sent to the sub-integrated control device 83. Entered.

  The effect symbol control device 82 receives the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and the sub integrated control device 83 input from the main control device 80 and the input of the effect button 67. And an effect image such as a pseudo symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The sub integrated control device 83 and the main control device 80 are configured as a one-way communication circuit from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 via the production relay terminal board 65. The effect symbol control device 82 is configured as a one-way communication circuit from the sub integrated control device 83 to the effect symbol control device 82.

  Next, a main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S75 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S80 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As a case where the interruption is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is mostly at power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  When S10 is negative, that is, when it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial setting (for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the memory and a special symbol and a normal symbol are used as an initial symbol, etc.) The initial values are written in the work area (S15) and the like (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S80).

  When an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), variation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ), Subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), success / failure determination process (S65), each output process (S70) such as image output process, fraud monitoring process (S75), and the remainder until the next interrupt signal is input The initial random number update process (S80) is looped within the time.

  Next, the start winning confirmation process executed by the main controller 80 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is performed when a game ball enters the first start port A11, the first start port B12, or the second start port 13, or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17, etc. Various random numbers are stored (stored) in the main control device 80 as reserved storage, and a process for confirming whether or not the stored random number is a preset value is performed before performing a validity determination to be described later. This is a process of transmitting various commands resulting from entering the starting port A11, the first starting port B12, and the second starting port 13 to the sub integrated control device 83. Thereafter, the stored memory stored when the game ball enters the first start port A11 and the first start port B12 is stored as the first hold memory, and stored when the game ball enters the second start port 13. The hold memory will be described as the second hold memory, and the hold memory stored when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17 will be described as the normal figure hold memory.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of lighting by each of the normal symbol hold number display device 8, the first special figure hold number display device 18, and the second special figure hold number display device 19 is 4 (the maximum hold memory number is However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the maximum number of memories may be eight. Even if the number of stored memories is 0, when a game ball enters the first start port A11, the first start port B12 and the second start port 13, or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17. Various random numbers such as acceptance / rejection random numbers acquired when passing through are stored in the main control device 80 in the same manner as when there are stored numbers less than the maximum value.

  When the start winning process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start port A switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If the determination is negative (S100: no), it is determined whether or not the first start port B switch 12a has detected a game ball (S105). If the determination is negative (S105: no), the process proceeds to S135. Following the affirmative determination (S100: yes) of S100 or the affirmative determination (S105: yes) of S105, is the number of first pending storages stored in the main controller 80 less than the upper limit (= 4)? It is determined whether or not (S110). If the determination is negative (S110: no), the process proceeds to S135. If the determination is affirmative (S110: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination random number Then, a first extracted random number hold storage process (S115) is performed in which the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number are stored as the first hold memory and 1 is added to the first hold memory counter indicating the number of the first hold memory.

  Subsequent to S115, a prefetch determination of the stored first reserved storage is performed (S120). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By performing the above determination, it is determined whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect to win a jackpot (whether or not an effect that can expect a jackpot is possible even if the player loses).

  Subsequently, a first prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S120 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125), and a first hold number instruction command indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S115 is received. The data is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S130).

  Following the processing of S130 or the negative determinations of S105 and S110 (S105: no, S110: no), it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 13a in the mechanical tulip accessory has detected a game ball ( S135). If a negative determination is made (S135: no), the process proceeds to S165. If an affirmative determination is made (S135: yes), it is determined whether the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4). (S140). If the determination is negative (S140: no), the process proceeds to S165. If the determination is affirmative (S140: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination random number Then, the random number for reach determination, the random number for determining the variation pattern are stored as the second reserved memory, and the second extracted random number pending storage process 1 (S145) for adding 1 to the second reserved memory counter indicating the second reserved memory number is performed, The pre-reading determination of the second reserved storage stored in the same manner as S120 is performed (S150).

  Subsequently, a second prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S150 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S155), and a second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S145 is sub The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S160), and the process proceeds to S165.

  In S165, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S165). If the determination is negative (S165: no), the process returns to the return, and if the determination is affirmative (S165: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved maps stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit (= 4) ( S170). If the determination is negative (S170: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S170: yes), the extracted winning determination random number and the winning symbol determination random number are stored as a general figure holding memory, 1 is added to the general-purpose hold storage counter indicating (S175), and a general-purpose hold storage number instruction command indicating the value of the added general-purpose hold storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S180), and the process returns.

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second reserved memory number instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 83 receives an instruction signal for changing each reserved memory number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the reserved memory number indicated by the received command. This is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol hold memory number display is not performed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the general symbol hold memory number instruction command. A configuration may be adopted in which the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus. As a result, it is possible to implement a pre-reading notice that expects the ordinary electric accessory (first start opening B12) to open. In this embodiment, a random number for selecting a symbol type and a variation pattern for notifying a result of the determination of winning or failing at the time of starting winning confirmation processing (a jackpot symbol determination random number 1, a jackpot symbol determination random number 2, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination (Random numbers) have been acquired, but these random numbers may be acquired at the time of special figure determination processing.

  Next, the success / failure determination process executed by main controller 80 will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process is a big hit game (special game) based on the random number value extracted due to the detection of the game ball by the first start port A switch 11a, the first start port B switch 12a or the second start port switch 13a. Since the first special figure and the second special figure change at the same time, the first special figure and the second special figure are determined. In this case, the processing is performed individually. The following describes the case where the process of the first special figure is performed, and the second special figure is incorporated.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is being played by confirming the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process shifts to a special game process described later, and negative. If it is not determined that the game is a big hit game (S200: no), it is checked whether the first special figure (second special figure) is changing (S205), and if it is not changing (S205: no). ), It is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being confirmed and displayed (S210). If it is not being confirmed and displayed (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is a first reserved memory (S215). If a negative determination, that is, if the start start condition is satisfied (S215: no), the process proceeds to a special game process described later. If an affirmative determination is made (S215: yes), a hold memory shift process is performed (S220). The command indicating that the oldest reserved memory of the first reserved memory is the object of the determination, subtracts 1 from the first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number, and indicates the value after the subtraction of the first reserved memory number Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 0 (S225). The probability variation flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is 1, it is determined that the gaming state is high probability, and if the value is 0, it is determined that the gaming state is normal probability (low probability). If S225 is negative, that is, if the game state is high probability (S225: no), the decision is made by comparing the random number value for determining the big hit of the reserved memory that is the target of the success / failure determination with a preset probability variation table used at the time of high probability. It is compared whether the target random number value matches the determination value in the probability variation table (S235). If S225 is an affirmative determination (S225: yes), the jackpot determination random number value of the pending storage that is the object of the determination is compared with a normal table with a normal probability (low probability) set in advance, and the random number value to be determined is It is compared whether it matches with the judgment value in the normal table (S230). In this embodiment, the probability variation table has a jackpot probability of 1/30, and the normal table has a setting of 1/300.

  In subsequent S240, it is determined whether or not the result of S230 or S235 is a big hit (same as the determination value). If it is affirmation determination (S240: yes), a symbol mode setting process will be performed (S245). In the symbol mode setting process, the content of the jackpot game is determined based on the type of the hold memory (first hold memory or the second hold memory) that is the target of the success / failure determination and the jackpot symbol determination random number 1 of the hold memory that is the determination target. The symbol mode for determining is set (S245).

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the case of the big win game, the special winning opening 14 performs the opening operation 12 times regardless of which one of the special symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a big hit. . In addition, when a game ball enters the specific area 110 provided in the big winning opening 14 in the final 12 rounds, a probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. In this case, at the same time as shifting to the probable change state, the state also shifts to the time-short state (open extended state), and a gaming state that is most advantageous to the player other than the big hit game is given until the next big hit occurs. On the other hand, if the game ball does not enter the specific area 110 in the final 12 rounds, after the big hit game ends, the normal (low probability) time shifts to the short state, and this short state is a big hit during the short state. When it occurs or the special symbol is displayed 100 times (total of the first special figure and the second special figure), the process ends.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, in all the jackpot games, the grand prize winning opening 14 performs the opening operation 12 times, but in the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the big winning prize opening corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol is performed. 14 has different configurations. Specifically, if the first special symbol is a big hit with a jackpot symbol 1, 2 (ratio of 2/10), from 1 round to the final 12 rounds of the jackpot game until 29.0 seconds or 9 counts If the first special symbol is a big hit with a big hit symbol 3 to 10 (ratio of 8/10), the big winning opening 14 will open 29.0 from the first round to the eleventh round of the big hit game. The final 12 rounds of performing the opening operation of the special winning opening 14 until the second or 9 counting is performed and determining whether or not to enter the specific area 110 are the opening of the large winning opening 14 until the counting of 0.2 seconds or nine. Perform the action. On the other hand, when the second special symbol is a big hit, in all the big winning symbols, the opening operation of the big winning opening 14 is performed until 29.0 seconds or 9 counts.

  When the big winning opening 14 performs the opening operation for 0.2 seconds, the probability that the game ball enters the big winning opening 14 is extremely low, and therefore, the probability that the gaming ball enters the specific area 110 is further reduced. When the first special symbol is a big hit with the big hit symbol 3 to 10 (ratio of 8/10), the probability variation state is hardly given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, when the special winning opening 14 is opened until 29.0 seconds or 9 counts, if a normal game ball is fired, the game ball enters the specific area 110 almost certainly.

  According to the above-described configuration of the big hit game, in the present embodiment, the big hit is obtained from the winning / failing determination process based on the entry into the game ball to the first starting opening A11 and the first starting opening B12 (first holding memory's winning determination process). It is more advantageous to the player than the big hit that occurred from the winning / failing determination process based on the game ball entering the second start port 13 in the mechanical tulip (the determination process of the second hold memory's determination). The expectation value to acquire more game balls is high). In addition, if the big hit of the second special symbol is more advantageous for the player, the content is not limited to this.

  Returning to FIG. 6, following S245, the jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the random number 2 for determining the jackpot symbol to be determined to be determined (S250). This is a process of determining a symbol to be displayed from among the symbol groups set for each type of symbol mode in order to notify the jackpot symbol (contents of the jackpot game) determined by the symbol mode setting by the symbol jackpot symbol. Become.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S245, the winning pattern opening pattern setting process, which is the content of the big hit game, is performed (S260). Based on the random number, a variation pattern that is a variation time of a symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 (second special symbol display device 10) and the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the variation pattern selection table (S265). ).

  Next, the information on the selected jackpot symbol and variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S270). On the basis of an instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 to start the variation display of the effect symbol corresponding to the information of the big hit symbol and the variation pattern. . Almost simultaneously with the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 (or the second special symbol display device 10) to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S240 is negative, i.e., lost (S240: no), it is determined whether the result of the comparison processing of S230 or S235 is a small hit (S275), and if affirmative (S275: yes), the small hit symbol is selected. (S280) Subsequently, a small hit game release pattern setting process is performed (S260), a variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S265), and a variation instruction command serving as information on the small hit symbol and the variation pattern Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S270). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts the variation display of the effect symbol corresponding to the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. Almost simultaneously with the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 (or the second special symbol display device 10) to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S275 is a negative determination (S275: no), a lost symbol is selected (S285), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S265), and a variation instruction command that becomes information on the symbol and variation pattern regarding the loss. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S260). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 on the basis of the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts the variation display of the effect symbol corresponding to the information of the lost symbol and the variation pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 (or the second special symbol display device 10) to start the variation of the special symbols.

  Following S270, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 7 to determine whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S300). If the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), decrement is performed from a probability variation counter (a probability variation counter common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is used) for restricting the transition period to the high probability gaming state (S305). ), It is determined whether or not the value of the probability variation counter is 0 (S310). If the determination is affirmative (S310: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S315). By this process, the high probability gaming state is shifted to the normal gaming state. When the probability change is given after the big hit game ends, the probability change counter is set to 10000, and the probability change state continues until almost the next big hit occurs.

  Following the negative determination in S315 and S300 (S300: no), or the negative determination in S310 (SS310: no), it is determined whether or not the hourly flag is 1 (S320). The time reduction flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is 1, it is determined that the time reduction state and the open extension state are established, and if the value is 0, it is determined that the time reduction state and the open extension state are not established. If the determination is affirmative (S320: yes), the decrement is made from the time-shortage counter (a common time-shortage counter is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol) for limiting the granting period of the time-shortening state (and the open extended state). In step S325, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is 0 (S330). If the determination is affirmative (S330: yes), 0 is set in the time reduction flag (S315). By this process, the time-short state and the open extended state are completed. The hourly counter is set to 100 at the end of the big hit game.

  Subsequent to the negative determinations in S335 and S320 (S320: no) and the negative determinations in S330 (S330: no), a sub-integrated control device 83 receives a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a short time flag. (S340), and shifts to "special game processing" described later.

  Returning to FIG. 6, if S205 is positively determined, that is, if the first special symbol (second special symbol) is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 8 to determine whether or not the symbol variation time has ended. If it is affirmative (S350: yes), control is performed to end the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display device 9 (or the second special symbol display device 10), and the sub integrated control device 83 is rendered. A confirmed symbol display process for transmitting a symbol confirmation command to end the symbol variation display is performed (S355). Subsequent to the negative determination (S350: no) in S355 or S350, the process proceeds to special game processing.

  Returning to FIG. 6, if S210 is affirmative, that is, if the first special symbol (or second special symbol) is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. It is determined whether or not (S400). If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), a process for terminating the fixed symbol display of the first special symbol (or the second special symbol) is performed, and a command for instructing the final symbol symbol display to end is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. A final symbol display end process is performed (S405).

  Following the negative determination in S405 or S400 (S400: no), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol (or second special symbol) on which the confirmed symbol display has been made is a big hit symbol (S410). If a negative determination is made (S410: no), the process proceeds to a special game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S410: yes), it is checked whether the other special symbol (the second special symbol) is changing during the process ( If the second special symbol is being processed (whether or not), whether or not the first special symbol is changing), if it is changing, the second special symbol (or the first special symbol) is changed. Is forcibly terminated (S415). In this embodiment, when one special symbol stops at the jackpot symbol, the fluctuation of the other special symbol is forcibly terminated. However, the result of the success / failure determination of the other special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol) is Even if it is a big hit, the result is forcibly terminated by discarding the result. However, a configuration in which the other fluctuation is interrupted (time measurement of the other fluctuation time is interrupted), and after the one big hit game is finished, the other middle stage is ended and the fluctuation of the special figure is resumed. In this configuration, the privilege obtained by the lottery of the other special symbol is not wasted and the player is not disadvantaged.

  Following S415, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S420). If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S425). Following the negative determination in S425 or S420 (S420: no), it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1 (S430). If the determination is affirmative (S430: yes), 0 is set in the time reduction flag (S435). By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

  Subsequent to the negative determination of S435 or S430 (S430: no), a process for starting the operation of the condition device is performed (S440), and a process for starting the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S445). A command for instructing the big hit start effect is transmitted to the control device 83 (S450), and the process proceeds to the special game process. The condition device is a device necessary for the operation of the continuous action device for winning game in the big hit game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device for continuously operating the special electric accessory of the big prize opening 14.

  Next, a special game process executed by the main controller 80 during the big hit game will be described with reference to FIGS. In this process, when the last 12 rounds of the jackpot game are executed, the game ball is determined to enter the specific area 110, the determination result is stored until the end of the jackpot game, and the game state after the jackpot game is ended. A process of setting according to the determination result is performed. When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500). If the determination is negative (S500: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the determination is negative (S505: no), it is determined whether or not the interval is in effect (S510). If not in the interval (S510: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot end effect is being performed (S515). (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect time has ended (S520). If the jackpot start effect time has not ended (S520: no), the process returns and if it has ended (S520: yes) ), A process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed (S525), and the process returns.

  If S505 is affirmative, that is, if the special winning opening 14 is open (S505: yes), the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 11 to determine whether or not the open big hit game is in the final 12 rounds (S550). (S550: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation transition flag is 0 (S553). The probability transition flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, it means that the game ball has entered the specific area 110 in the final round, and if the value is 0, the game ball has entered the specific area 110. Judge that there is no.

  If the determination in S553 is affirmative, that is, if a game ball has not yet entered the specific area 110 (S553: yes), it is determined whether or not the specific area switch 110a has detected a game ball (S555). S555: yes), 1 is set to the probability variation transition flag (S560). Following the negative determination of S560 and S550 (S550: no), the negative determination of S553 (S553: no), or the negative determination of S555 (S555: no), the predetermined winning number (9) is received in the big winning opening 14. It is determined whether or not there has been a win (S565). If the determination is negative (S565: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 14 has ended (S570). If S570 is negative (S570: no), the return. To do. If S565 or S570 is affirmative (S565: yes, S570, yes), a process for closing the big prize opening 14 is performed (S575), and a command for instructing the sub-integrated control device 83 to start the big hit interval effect is transmitted. A big hit interval process is performed (S580), and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 10, if S510 is affirmative, that is, if the interval is in progress (S510: yes), the process proceeds to S585 in FIG. 11 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has ended (S585), and if negative (S585: no). ) Return. If the determination is affirmative (S585: yes), it is determined whether or not the final round of the jackpot game has ended (S590). If the determination is affirmative (S590: yes), a command for instructing the jackpot end effect is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. Then, the big hit game is finished (S595) and the process returns. If the determination is negative (S590: no), the special winning opening 14 is released (S598) and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 10, if S515 is affirmative, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S515: yes), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 12 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has ended (S600). If the determination is negative (S600: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S600: yes), the process of stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation apparatus is performed (S605), and the process of stopping the operation of the condition apparatus is performed (S610). .

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the probability change transition flag is 1 (S615). If the game ball has entered the specific area 110 in the final 12 rounds of the big hit game (S615: yes), the probability change flag. Is set to 1 (S620), 10000 is set to the probability variation counter (the number of fluctuations of the special figure that retains the probability variation state) (S630), 1 is set to the time reduction flag (S635), and the time reduction counter (retains the probability variation state). Is set to 10,000 (S640), and each probability transition flag is set to 1 (S645).

  If S615 is negative, that is, if a game ball has not entered the specific area 110 in the final 12 rounds of the jackpot game (S615: no), the hour flag is set to 1 (S665), and the hour counter is set to 100 (S670). Subsequent to S645 or S670, a big hit end command and a state designation command indicating the game state after the big hit game end determined by the setting of the time reduction flag in S620 and the probability variation flag in S630 are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 ( S650, 655), the big hit flag is cleared (S660), and the process returns.

  The above is the first embodiment. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second start port 13 is changed from the closed state to the open state by the operation of the second non-electrical accessory based on the ball entering the first start port B (specific winning port). The jackpot of the second special symbol for determining whether or not to win by winning the second starting port 13 is set to be more advantageous to the player than the jackpot of the first special symbol (in other words, the first special symbol is set to be disadvantageous to the player) As a result, unprecedented playability is created.

  Specifically, in a normal game (at the start of the game), the game ball is launched aiming at entering the first start opening A11 arranged in the first game area 3a, and entered the first start opening A11. When the random number extracted at this time is determined to be a big hit, and when it shifts to the short time state (including the probability variation state) after the big hit game is finished, the first start opening B12 can be won by the opening extension function. When the game ball wins, the first special figure starts to change and the operation of the second non-electrically-operated accessory changes the mechanical tulip accessory from the closed state to the open state so that the second start port 13 can be awarded. It becomes. When the game ball wins the second start port 13, the second special figure that is more advantageous to the player than the first special figure starts to change. In this game flow, the condition for changing the second special figure is the fluctuation of the first special figure, and the first special figure and the second special figure change simultaneously (each special symbol is unique). Display variation in order of entry).

  When the extended extended state after the big hit game is over, the player is surely given a certain change state, and the game progresses while hoping that the second special figure with a lot of big hit balls will hit the big hit, but it fluctuates at the same time. If the first special figure is a big hit, the probability that the probability change is not given is high, so even if the time is given, it will be out of the most advantageous situation, and the probability of returning to the normal gaming situation becomes high. .

  In order to change the advantageous second special figure, the disadvantaged first special figure must be changed. This is a thrilling situation for the player and aims for an advantageous state while taking risks. The game period provides unprecedented playability to the player.

  Next, Example 2 will be described. In the first embodiment, when the game ball wins (enters) the first start opening B12 (specific winning opening), the second type non-electrically-operated object is activated. In the second embodiment, the gate 16 When the game ball passes through the (specific gate), the second type non-electrically-powered object is activated. The contents different from the first embodiment will be described below. In the following description, portions that are not specifically described are the same as those in the first embodiment, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The structure of the game board 101 in a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. The difference from the first embodiment is that in the first embodiment, the operation of the normal electric combination is performed at the position between the normal symbol operation gate 17 in the second game area 3b and the mechanical tulip combination having the second start port 13. However, in this embodiment, the gate 16 is disposed at the position, and the ball blocking member 15 (ordinary electric accessory) is disposed immediately above the gate 16. The first starting port B102 is arranged immediately below the 16 outlets, and the gate 16 for operating the second type non-electrically acting member is moved up and down by the normal electric acting member (the ball blocking member 15) and the first starting port B. It becomes a point between.

  The entrance blocking member 15 changes to a position where the entrance to the gate 16 is prevented by the operation of the normal electric accessory and a position where the entrance is not blocked. When the ordinary electric accessory is not in operation, the entrance to the gate 16 is changed. It is in the position to stop the ball. The gate 16 is provided with a seesaw portion 16 that operates by its own weight when a game ball passes through the gate, but does not include any electrical sensors. The first start opening B102 arranged immediately below the gate 16 is a so-called general winning chucker and does not change at all.

  The arrangement relationship and operation of the gate 16, the ball blocking member 15, and the first starting port 102 will be described with reference to FIG. (1) is a cross-sectional view and a front view from the left side showing a normal time (when a normal electric accessory is not operated). In the front view, the hood cover is removed so that the internal structure can be easily understood. During normal times when the normal electric accessory is not operating, the player side surface of the ball blocking member 15 arranged immediately above the gate 16 stops at a position where it protrudes to the same position as the front surface of the gate, and stops at this position. This prevents the game ball from entering the gate 16. In the normal state, the seesaw portion h in the gate is kept horizontal. Since the first start port B102 is disposed immediately below the gate 16, the game ball that has passed through the gate 16 always enters the first start port B102.

  (2) shows a state where the ball blocking member 15 has moved back into the game board surface to the position where the game ball can enter the entrance of the gate 16 due to the operation of the ordinary electric accessory.

  (3) shows the situation when the game ball that has entered the gate 16 passes through the gate 16 continuously from the state of (2). When a game ball enters the gate 16, the game ball always comes into contact with the seesaw portion h disposed inside the gate 16. When the game ball contacts the seesaw portion h, the player-side end of the seesaw portion h is pushed down by the weight of the game ball, thereby lifting the other end inside the game board 101. The movement in which the other end is lifted is interlocked with the structure described with reference to FIG. 2 to operate the second type non-electrically-operated accessory, and the mechanical tulip accessory in this embodiment is opened from the closed state. To change. In this case, by using the conversion member g ′ shown in the lower right diagram of FIG. 2 (inside the dotted line), the upward force that lifts the other end of the seesaw portion h is linked to the conversion member g ′, and the conversion is performed. This is a mechanism for swinging the member f.

  The game ball that has passed through the gate 16 while being in contact with the seesaw portion h directly wins the first starting port B102, and the first starting port B switch (12) detects the winning game ball. In this way, only the game ball that has passed through the gate 16 can enter the first start opening B12.

  The above is the second embodiment, and this embodiment also has the same content as the first embodiment in terms of game play.

  In the embodiment, the mechanical tulip accessory is changed from the closed state to the open state by the operation of the second type non-electrical accessory, but the operation is not limited to the tulip type accessory, It is only necessary that the entrance of the game ball enters the gate or the entrance can be opened or expanded by the weight of the game ball by passing through a specific gate (for example, an attacker-type accessory) ).

  By giving a difference between the jackpot game content of the first special figure and the jackpot of the second special figure and the grant rate of probability change after the jackpot game, the second special figure was given an advantage. The method of giving the degree is not limited to this. For example, the contents of the jackpot game may be the same, and the difference may be given only to the expected value that the jackpot game will continue due to short time or certainty. In this case, the greater the difference in the continuation rate (the expected value to be continued), the greater the thrill feeling that the player feels.

  As described above, according to the bullet ball game machine of the present invention, the operation of the second type non-electrically-operated object is changed to a state in which the ball can enter the starting port by the operation of the second type non-electrically-operated object. It is possible to provide unprecedented gameability by using a specific winning opening (or winning opening that enters after passing through a specific gate) as a starting opening that varies different special symbols. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a ball game machine equipped with a starting port that can enter a ball by operating a plurality of special symbols and the second type non-electric accessory.
