In synchronism with the game, a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified are displayed in a variable manner, and a definite effect symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols are derived and displayed by stopping display of identification information such as effect symbols (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) and ending the variable display. .

  For example, eight kinds of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters) are displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is attached to each of the effect symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. The production symbols are not limited to eight types, and may be any number (for example, seven types, nine types, etc.) as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured.

  A first reserved memory display area 5D and a second reserved memory display area 5U are set in two places on the left and right of the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U, the hold memory display for displaying the variable hold memory number (the special figure hold memory number) corresponding to the special figure game is specified.

  Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). In other words, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game or the variable display of the effect symbol is established, but the variable display game based on the start condition established previously is being executed. When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. In the present embodiment, the stored storage display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening is a round white display, and the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening ( The reserved storage display generated on the basis of the start winning due to the entry) is similarly a round white display.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first hold indicator 25A and the second hold for displaying the number of special figure hold memories in an identifiable manner above the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B. A display 25B is provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified.

  Below the effect display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening as a starting region (first starting region) that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B has an electric motor having a pair of movable wing pieces that are changed into a normal open state as a vertical position and an expanded open state as a tilt position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. A tulip-shaped accessory (ordinary electric accessory) is provided, and a second starting prize opening is formed as a starting region (second starting region).

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the OFF state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It is difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by the tilt control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the ON state ( It will be in an expanded open state that is easy to enter.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, the second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the second start condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2, and the specific region that changes between an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. As a big prize opening.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the OFF state, the special prize opening door closes the big winning prize opening, and the game ball passes (enters) the big winning prize opening. Make it impossible. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance). ) Make it easier. In this way, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player To do. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball hardly passes (enters) through the big prize opening may be provided.

  The game ball that has passed (entered) through the big prize opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Accordingly, when the special winning ball apparatus 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special winning hole, which is advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous second state.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided above the second holding display 25B. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments, dot matrix LEDs, and the like, like the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and a plurality of types of identification information different from the special symbols. Is displayed (variable display) so that it can be variably displayed. Such a normal symbol variation display is referred to as a general game (also referred to as a “normal game”).

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passing gate 41.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the big winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings that are always kept open by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. May be. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as a prize ball based on the fact that a game ball that has entered one of the general prize openings is detected by a predetermined general prize ball switch. In the lowermost part of the game area 10, there is provided an out-port for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning ports.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 is provided at the periphery of the gaming area 10. . A decorative LED may be arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, etc.) in the game area 10 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. . At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a hitting operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to launch a game ball as a game medium toward the game area 10 is provided. For example, the hitting operation handle adjusts the resilience of the game ball according to the operation amount (rotation amount) by the player or the like. The hitting operation handle only needs to be provided with a single shot switch or a touch ring (touch sensor) for stopping driving of a shooting motor provided in a hitting ball shooting device (not shown).

  A gaming ball paid out as a prize ball or a gaming ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine can be supplied to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area 10 to a launching device (not shown). An upper plate (hit ball supply tray) that is held (stored) is provided. Below the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower plate that holds (stores) surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  For example, a stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached to a member that forms the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate main body (for example, a central portion of the lower plate). Yes. The stick controller 31A includes an operation stick that the player holds, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operation stick (for example, a position where the index finger of the operator is hooked when the player holds the operation stick). Yes. The trigger button can be operated in a predetermined direction by performing a push-pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) in a state where the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller 31A with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). What is necessary is just to be comprised. A trigger sensor that detects a predetermined instruction operation such as a push / pull operation on the trigger button may be built in the operation rod.

  A controller sensor unit 35 </ b> A for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the lower plate body or the like below the stick controller 31 </ b> A. For example, the controller sensor unit includes two transmissive photosensors (parallel sensors) arranged in parallel to the board surface of the game board 2 on the left side of the center position of the operating rod when viewed from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 1. And a pair of transmission type photosensors (vertical sensor pairs) arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the game board 2 on the right side of the center position of the operation rod when viewed from the player side. What is necessary is just to be comprised including a shape photosensor.

  The member that forms the upper plate includes, for example, a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). Is provided. The push button 31B only needs to be configured to be able to detect the pressing operation from the player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically. A push sensor 35B that detects a pressing operation performed by the player on the push button 31B may be provided inside the main body of the upper plate at the position where the push button 31B is installed.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the normal symbol display 20 executes the normal symbol variation display such that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2. The normal symbol indicator is displayed on the basis of the fact that the normal symbol start condition for starting the normal symbol variation display is satisfied, for example, that the previous general symbol game has been completed The usual game by 20 is started.

  In this ordinary game, after a normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time which is a normal symbol change time elapses, a fixed normal symbol which is a normal symbol change display result is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol becomes “per symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol, such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “usually lost”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the variation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied, for example, because the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state has ended, the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A is started. Further, the second starting condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the end of the previous special game or the big hit gaming state, the special game by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B, after the special symbol variation display is started, when the variation display time as the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol variation display is performed. The resulting definite special symbol (special diagram display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big bonus symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, “ It will be “losing”. In addition, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed. When the predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as a result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. What is necessary is just to control to the small hit game state as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, special symbols indicating numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” are jackpot symbols, and a special symbol indicating a symbol “−” is a lost symbol. When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a special symbol indicating the number “2” may be used as the small hit symbol. It should be noted that each symbol such as a jackpot symbol or a lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display 4A may be different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display 4B. However, a special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a jackpot symbol or a lost symbol.

  After the jackpot symbol indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” as the special symbols for the special figure game is stopped and displayed as the “big hit” as the specific display result, it is specially variable in the jackpot game state. In a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a period until a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls is generated in the big winning door of the winning ball apparatus 7 , Open the grand prize opening. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”, etc.). Even before the number of rounds has reached the upper limit, the execution of the round may be terminated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won a big prize opening). .

  Of the rounds in the big hit gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) advantageous for the player is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds) is normally opened. Also called round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time during which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) is relatively short (for example, 0.1 seconds) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  When the small hit symbol (for example, the number “2”) is stopped and displayed, after the small hit symbol is derived as a confirmed special symbol, the small hit symbol is controlled as a special gaming state. good. Specifically, in the small hit game state, for example, the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is advantageous to the player in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 as in the above-described short-term open big hit state in which a practically no outgoing ball (prize ball) is obtained. The variable winning operation for changing to the first state (open state) may be executed.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A and In response to the start of any one of the special figure games using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B, the variation display of the effect symbols is started. The period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbols to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R Then, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state.

  Here, the reach state refers to an effect design (“reach variation design”) that has not been stopped yet when the effect design that is stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 forms part of the jackpot combination. Is also a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the design symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R, etc.) in advance. The remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect) that has not been stopped yet when the effect symbol (for example, the effect symbol indicating the alphanumeric character of “7”) constituting the determined jackpot combination is stopped and displayed. In the symbol display area 5C, etc., the presentation symbols are changing, or in all or part of the “left”, “middle”, “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R This is a display state that changes synchronously while constituting all or part of the combination.

  In response to the reach state, the variation speed of the effect symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person) different from the effect symbol is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. Or change the display mode of the background image, play and display a moving image that is different from the production symbol, or change the variation mode of the production symbol, so that the production operation different from before reaching the reach state is executed May be. Such an effect operation such as display of the character image, change of the display mode of the background image, reproduction display of the moving image, and change of the change mode of the effect pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, and the like are in the reach state. An operation mode different from the previous operation mode may be included.

  As an effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Each reach mode has a different possibility of “big hit” (also referred to as “reliability” or “big hit reliability”). That is, it is possible to vary the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” depending on which of the multiple types of reach effects is executed.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol does not reach the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. In addition, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal loss”) variable display mode when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol becomes the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. Correspondingly, after the reach effect is executed, or when the reach effect is not executed, a confirmed effect symbol that becomes a predetermined reach lose combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach lose”) when the variation display result is “losing”.

  Corresponding to the fact that the variation display state of the production symbol has reached the reach state when the jackpot symbol indicating the number “3” is stopped and displayed as a special symbol that is a jackpot symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed in the special symbol game Then, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) among a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed. It should be noted that the non-probable big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect symbol without the reach effect being executed.

  The confirmed effect symbol which is a normal big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is variably displayed in, for example, the “left”, “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols having the symbol numbers “1” to “8”, any one of the effect symbols having the even symbol numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” is “left”, “ What is necessary is just to be able to be stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “middle” and “right”. The effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” constituting the normal jackpot combination are referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as “non-probable variation symbols”).

  Corresponding to the fact that the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game becomes the normal jackpot symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the finalized symbol of the normal jackpot combination (non-probable variable jackpot combination) is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “normal big hit”) when the variable display result is “big hit”. It should be noted that the normal jackpot combination (non-probable variation jackpot combination) may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect symbol without executing the reach effect. Based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” for the big hit type of “non-probable change”, the normal open big hit state is controlled, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol change display time (special figure change time) in the special figure game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, so-called electric chew support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the normal variable winning ball device 6B is increased as described later. Here, the normal state is a normal game state that is different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, and the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, after the power is turned on) The same control as in the state in which the initialization process is executed is performed. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state ends, and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  In the special symbol game, among the special symbols that become jackpot symbols, if the probability variation jackpot symbol such as the special symbol indicating the numbers “5” and “7” is stopped and displayed, the change display state of the effect symbol In response to the reach state being reached, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “normal” is executed, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, a predetermined probability variation big hit combination and The determined effect design may be stopped and displayed. It should be noted that the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect symbol without the reach effect being executed. The confirmed effect symbol that is a probable big hit combination is, for example, a symbol number “1” that is variably displayed in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols of “8”, the effect symbol whose symbol number is “7” is a predetermined effective line in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. What is necessary is just to be able to be stopped and displayed all together. The effect symbol having the symbol number “7” constituting the probability variation jackpot combination is referred to as a probability variation symbol. When the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the confirmed effect symbol that is a normal jackpot combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the effect symbol.

  Regardless of whether the confirmed effect symbol is a normal jackpot combination or a promiscuous jackpot combination, the variation display mode in which the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game will have a "big hit" variation display result. This is referred to as a variation display mode of “probability variation” (also referred to as “big hit type”). In this embodiment, among the big hit types of “probable change”, control is made to the normally open big hit state based on the fact that “5” and “7” change display results are “big hit” as the confirmed special symbols. Then, after the end, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with the time reduction control.

  By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the fluctuation display result (special display result) becomes “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability variation control may be ended when the condition that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state again after the big hit gaming state is ended. Similar to the time reduction control, the probability variation control is ended when a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times the same as the time reduction number or 90 times different from the time reduction number) are executed after the end of the big hit gaming state. May be. In addition, even if the probability variation control is ended when the probability variation control is ended by the probability variation control lottery executed every time the special game is started after the big hit gaming state is ended, the probability variation control is terminated. Good.

  When the time-shortening control is performed, the normal symbol display unit 20 controls the normal symbol in the normal symbol game so that the variation time of the normal symbol (ordinary symbol variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state. Control to improve the probability that the display result is “per normal figure” than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal figure”. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as a control to make the tilt control time for performing longer than that in the normal state, and a control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control (electricity support control) that is advantageous to the player by increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied is performed. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening in accordance with the time-shortening control and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening becomes the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. The time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. The period during which the high opening control can be performed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time reduction control is performed.

  The gaming state in which both the short time control and the high opening control are performed is also referred to as a short time state or a high base state. The gaming state in which the probability variation control is performed is also referred to as a probability variation state or a high probability state. A gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. In this embodiment, the gaming state to be controlled is not set, but the probability variation state in which only the probability variation control is performed and the time-shortening control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. In addition, only the gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is sometimes referred to as a “probability variation state”, and may be referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to distinguish from the high probability low base state. On the other hand, a probability variation state (high probability low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and time reduction control or high opening control is not performed is sometimes referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to be distinguished from a high accuracy high base state. The short time state in which the short time control or the high opening control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability variation control, the time reduction control, nor the high opening control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time-shortening control and probability variation control is performed in a gaming state other than the normal state, the probability that the special-figure game can be executed frequently and the fluctuation display result in each special-figure game will be “big hit” As a result, the player is in an advantageous state. A gaming state advantageous to a player different from the big hit gaming state is also referred to as a special gaming state.

  When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the game state is not changed after controlling to the small hit game state described above, and the game state before the change display result becomes “small hit” is displayed. Control may be continued.

The first rotation gear 431 at the bottom is meshed with the intermediate gear 422 and the second rotation gear 432, and the third rotation gear 433 is meshed with the second rotation gear 432 and the fourth rotation gear 434. ing. Therefore, by rotating the drive gear 421 by the second effect motor 415, the first to fourth rotation gears 431 to 434 are interlocked with each other via the intermediate gear 422.

  The rotation base portion 404 includes a base disk 450 attached to the arm base 411, a guide disk 451 integrally attached to the base disk 450 at a position distant from the base disk 450, and a front side from the guide disk 451. And a decorative member 452 attached integrally to the guide disk 451 at a distant position.

  Between the base disk 450 and the guide disk 451, rack gears 455a and 455b are disposed so as to be movable obliquely in the left-right direction. Two guide shafts 456a and 456b that protrude from the rear surfaces of the rack gears 455a and 455b, respectively, are movably inserted into arc-shaped guide grooves 457a and 457b formed in the base disk 450, and the guide shafts 456a and 456b Deviation is prevented by a stop attached to the rear end. In addition, second slide portions 406a and 406b are attached to outer end portions of the rack gears 455a and 455b.

  A first slide portion 405 is movably disposed between the guide disk 451 and the decorative member 452. Two guide shafts 460a and 460b projecting from the back surfaces of the movable members 405a and 405b, respectively, are movably inserted into arc-shaped guide grooves 461a and 461b formed in the guide disk 451, and the guide shafts 460a and 460b are inserted. Deviation is prevented by a stop attached to the tip of the. The guide grooves 461a and 461b are formed so as to be inclined downward toward the right side and are substantially orthogonal to the guide grooves 457a and 457b formed so as to be inclined upward toward the right side. That is, the first slide part 405 moves in a direction substantially orthogonal to the second slide parts 406a and 406b. A rack gear 462 is provided on the back surface of the movable member 405b in the longitudinal direction.

  The decorative member 452 is formed of a plate-like member, and includes decorative portions 470a and 470b corresponding to the front link member 330d and the rear link member 331d, and a decorative portion 471 having a substantially U shape corresponding to the movable members 405a and 405b. Have.

  The decorative portions 470a and 470b are disposed at positions corresponding to the front end portions E1 and E2 of the first movable portion 302 when the first movable portion 302 changes to the extended state, and the front link member 330d and the rear link member 331d Since the same decoration (for example, color etc.) is given, when the front link member 330d and the rear link member 331d approach, they constitute a part of the front link member 330d and the rear link member 331d. The first movable part 302 and the second movable part 402 can appear to be integrated.

  The decorative portion 471 covers the first slide portion 405 from the front side when the first slide portion 405 is in the non-projecting position, and the first slide portion when the first slide portion 405 moves to the projected position. Part of the movable members 405a and 405b of 405 is exposed. In addition, the decoration portion 471 is formed in a U-shape when viewed from the front, and has the same decoration (for example, color) as that of the movable members 405a and 405b. Therefore, when the first slide portion 405 moves to the protruding position. Part of the movable members 405a and 405b is configured, that is, it can be seen that part of the second movable part 402 is deformed.

  On the back surface of the guide disk 451, a fifth rotating gear 435 having a connecting shaft 435a protruding on the back surface is rotatably provided. The connecting shaft 435a is inserted into a shaft hole formed in the base disk 450 and the arm base 411 and protrudes to the back side of the arm base 411. A fourth rotation gear 434 is fixed to the protruding tip. That is, the fourth rotation gear 434 and the fifth rotation gear 435 are integrated via the connection shaft 435a, and are supported by the arm base 411 and the guide disk 451 so as to be rotatable about the connection shaft 435a facing in the front-rear direction. (See FIG. 11). The fifth rotation gear 435 is engaged with a sixth rotation gear 436 that is rotatably provided on the guide disk 451 around a connecting shaft 436a that faces in the front-rear direction. The sixth rotation gear 436 faces in the front-rear direction. A seventh rotating gear 437 that is rotatably provided on the guide disk 451 around the connecting shaft 436a is engaged.

  On the back surface of the seventh rotation gear 437, an eighth rotation gear 438 having a diameter smaller than that of the seventh rotation gear 437 is integrally provided so as to form the same axis as the seventh rotation gear 437. Rack gears 455a and 455b are meshed with the upper and lower portions of 438. Therefore, the rack gears 455a and 455b slide and move as the eighth rotation gear 438 rotates.

  A ninth rotation gear 439 is disposed at a position corresponding to the sixth rotation gear 436 on the front surface of the guide disk 451, and the ninth rotation gear 439 is formed from the sixth rotation gear 436 to the guide disk 451. It is fixed to the tip of a connecting shaft 436a that protrudes forward through a shaft hole (not shown) (see FIG. 11). That is, the sixth rotation gear 436 and the ninth rotation gear 439 are integrated via the connecting shaft 436a and are provided on the guide disk 451 so as to be rotatable about the connecting shaft 436a facing the front-rear direction.

  The ninth rotating gear 439 is meshed with a tenth rotating gear 440 that is rotatably supported by the guide disk 451 around a rotating shaft that faces in the front-rear direction, and the tenth rotating gear 440 includes a front-rear direction. An eleventh rotation gear 441 that is rotatably provided on the guide disk 451 about the rotation axis that faces is engaged. Since the rack gear 462 provided on the movable member 405b is meshed with the eleventh rotation gear 441, the rack gear 462 slides when the eleventh rotation gear 441 rotates.

  Here, based on FIG.10 and FIG.11, the drive mechanism of the 1st slide part 405 and the 2nd slide parts 406a and 406b is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, in the initial driving state, the first slide portion 405 is disposed at a non-projecting position that fits on the front surface side of the guide disk 451 constituting the rotation base portion 404, and the second slide portion 406a. , 406b are arranged at a covering position where the guide disk 451 constituting the rotation base portion 404 is covered from the front side in an invisible manner. In this state, the rack gears 455a and 455b are located at the first slide position that is close to each other so as to be within the front surface side of the guide disk 451, so that the opposing end surfaces of the second slide portions 406a and 406b are brought into contact with each other. Since the dome-shaped cover body is configured, the rotation base portion 404 and the first slide portion 405 are invisible or difficult to be covered from the front.

  When the drive gear 421 is rotated in the second direction (for example, clockwise when viewed from the front) by the third effect motor 420, the rotational force of the drive gear 421 is transmitted through the intermediate gear 422 to the first to eleventh rotation gears 431. To 441. Here, as the eleventh rotation gear 441 rotates in the second direction (for example, clockwise in front view), the rack gear 462 slides to the second slide position. Further, when the eighth rotation gear 438 rotates in the second direction (for example, clockwise when viewed from the front), the rack gears 455a and 455b slide and move to the second slide position where they are separated from each other, and thereby the second slide portions 406a and 406b. Move away from each other to the open position. Therefore, both the decorative member 452 and the first slide portion 405 of the rotation base portion 404 are visible from the front.

  Further, when the drive gear 421 is rotated in the first direction (for example, counterclockwise when viewed from the front), the eighth rotation gear 438 is rotated in the first direction (for example, counterclockwise when viewed from the front), whereby the rack gear 455a, As the 455b slides to the first slide position that approaches each other, the second slide portions 406a and 406b approach each other and move to the covering position.

  As described above, the second movable portion 402 has a first state in which the first slide portion 405 is in the non-projecting position and the second slide portions 406a and 406b are in the covering position to form a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front. The first slide portion 405 moves to the protruding position, and the second slide portions 406a and 406b move to the open position, so that the first slide portion 405 can be deformed into a second state that is substantially non-circular when viewed from the front.

  Specifically, in the second state, the first slide portion 405 protrudes obliquely downward to the right from the periphery of the rotation base portion 404, and the second slide portions 406 a and 406 b are inclined obliquely in the left-right direction from the periphery of the rotation base portion 404. The outer shape of the second movable part 402 appears to be deformed from one of the first state and the second state to the other.

  Next, an example of a movable effect by the first effect unit 300 and the second effect unit 400 configured as described above will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present embodiment, the production control CPU 120 is configured such that the first movable portion 302 when deformed to the extended state and the second movable portion 402 when deformed to the second state are in a long shape by mutual combination. A movable effect that can be recognized as a structure can be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the initial driving state, the first movable unit 302 of the first effect unit 300 is in the contracted state, and the second movable unit 402 of the second effect unit 400 is disposed at the retracted position. The first slide portion 405 is in the non-projecting position, and the second slide portions 406a and 406b are in the first state arranged at the covering position. Thus, in the initial driving state, the second movable portion 402 is disposed at a position away from the first movable portion 302.

  When performing the movable effect, the effect control CPU 120 first causes the second effect motor 415 to move the second movable unit 402 to the superimposed position (see the two-dot chain line position in FIG. 3). As a result, the second movable portion 402 is disposed at the overlapping position overlapping the projection region T on the extension line of the expansion / contraction region of the first movable portion 302.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, the effect control CPU 120 moves the rack gears 317a and 317b from the first slide position toward the second slide position by the first effect motors 313a and 313b. Thereby, the expansion | extension operation | movement of the 1st movable part 302 is started.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12B, the effect control CPU 120 starts the extension operation of the first movable portion 302, and then the distal end portions E <b> 1 and E <b> 2 of the first movable portion 302 are turned to the rotation base portion 404. The rotation of the drive gear 421 is started by the third effect motor 420 at a timing before approaching the peripheral edge of the drive gear 421, so that the rotational force of the drive gear 421 causes the intermediate gear 422 and the first to eleventh rotation gears 431 to 441 to rotate. The first slide portion 405 and the second slide portions 406a and 406b are transmitted to the first slide portion 405 and the second slide portions 406a and 406b via the rack gears 455a, 455b, and 462, and the second slide portion 405 starts to move toward the second diagonally lower right position, and the second The slide parts 406a and 406b start to move toward the open position.

  As described above, the production control CPU 120 starts the extension operation of the first movable portion 302 and then the timing before the tip portions E1 and E2 of the first movable portion 302 come close to the periphery of the rotation base portion 404. The movement of the first slide part 405 and the second slide parts 406a and 406b is started. That is, after the first effect motors 313a and 313b are turned on, the third effect motor 420 is turned on.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first movable portion 302 extends and deforms into an extended state, so that the distal end portions E1 and E2 of the base disc 450 and the guide disc 451, which are the rotation base portions 404, are formed. While approaching the periphery (see FIG. 4), the first slide portion 405 changes to the second state, and the second slide portions 406a and 406b move to the open position. As a result, the first movable portion 302 when deformed to the extended state and the second movable portion 402 when deformed to the second state can be recognized as a long structure by combination with each other. Production can be performed.

  Moreover, the 1st movable part 302 moves to the right diagonal downward direction which is a direction (extension direction of the 1st movable part 302) which leaves | separates from the 1st movable part 302 toward the protrusion position, and the 1st movable part 302 is moved. The second movable part 402 can be pierced and can be seen as if a part of the second movable part 402 protrudes. That is, the length L2 of the first movable portion 302 in the extended state, the diameter L3 of the rotating base portion 404, and the protruding length L4 of the first slide portion 405 protruding from the peripheral edge of the rotating base portion 404. The long structure having the combined length (L2 + L3 + L4) moves from the upper left of the display screen of the effect display device 5 to the lower right and appears to protrude partially through the second movable portion 402. Can show. Therefore, the first movable portion 302 deformed to the extended state and the second movable portion 402 deformed to the second state can be recognized as one structure longer than the first movable portion 302 in the contracted state.

  Further, by moving the second slide parts 406a and 406b to the open position, it can be seen that the second movable part 402 is destroyed by the impact of the first movable part 302 sticking to the second movable part 402. .

  Thus, in the case of performing a movable effect such that one long structure pierces and penetrates the second movable portion 402, as described above, the second movable portion 402 is not deformed and is in an extended state. The total length of the length L2 of the first movable portion 302, the diameter L3 of the rotation base portion 404, and the protrusion length L4 of the first slide portion 405 protruding from the periphery of the rotation base portion 404 ( When a long structure having (L2 + L3 + L4) is moved and penetrated through the second movable portion 402, a retreat space for retracting the long structure to the side of the effect display device 5 is provided. In addition, since the weight of the long structure increases, the load on the motor increases and a guide means for guiding the movement becomes necessary, which deteriorates the appearance.

  Therefore, the first movable portion 302 or the like can be recognized as a long structure by combining the first movable portion 302 that expands and contracts and the second movable portion 402 that deforms as in the present invention. It is not necessary to secure a wide space for retracting the second movable part 402, and the weight of the movable part can be dispersed, so that the load on the motor can be reduced.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first movable portion 302 that is provided at the first position and can be expanded and contracted between the contracted state and the extended state, and the first position And a second movable part 402 that can be deformed into a first state and a second state different from the first state, and the first movable part when deformed to the extended state 302 and the second movable part 402 when deformed to the second state can be recognized as a long structure by a combination of the two. By doing so, the long structure can be recognized by the mutual combination of the first movable part 302 when deformed to the extended state and the second movable part 402 when deformed to the second state. Since it is formed, the production effect is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the first slide part 405 of the second movable part 402 moves away from the first movable part 302 as the first movable part 302 changes to the extended state and approaches the second movable part 402. And part of the second movable part 402 is projected and deformed by projecting along the extension direction of the first movable part 302, so that the first movable part 302 and the second movable part 302 are deformed in the extended state. A long structure is formed so as to be recognizable by mutual combination with the second movable portion 402 when deformed into a state.

  In this embodiment, the first slide portion 405 of the second movable portion 402 protrudes in a direction away from the first movable portion 302 and along the extending direction of the first movable portion 302. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if it is provided so as to protrude in a direction away from the first movable part 302, it protrudes in a direction inclined with respect to the extending direction of the first movable part 302. You may do it.

  In the present embodiment, the second slide portions 406a and 406b of the second movable portion 402 move to the open position as the first movable portion 302 is deformed into the extended state and approaches the second movable portion 402. As a result, a part of the second movable portion 402 is deformed in a projecting manner, so that the first movable portion 302 can act on the second movable portion 402 to make it appear that the second movable portion 402 is deformed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first movable part 302 comes close to the second movable part 402 when deformed to the extended state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second movable part 402 You may make it contact | abut or overlap with the part 402. FIG.

  Further, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the second movable unit 402 includes a retreat position as a second position where the arm unit 403 tilts to the left side and retreats below the screen of the effect display device 5, and two points in FIG. 3. As indicated by the chain line, the arm portion 403 is turned in the vertical direction and can be rotated between the overlapping position overlapping the projection region T (see the halftone dot region in FIG. 3) in the expansion / contraction direction of the first movable portion 302. As a result, the production effect is improved.

  At least one of the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 (for example, the first movable portion 302) is configured by a link mechanism (for example, a pantograph mechanism) that can be expanded and contracted. The effect is improved and the design is improved because guide means or the like for guiding the deformation of at least one of the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 is not necessary when the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 are deformed.

  In the present embodiment, only the first movable portion 302 of the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 is configured by a link mechanism (for example, a pantograph mechanism) that can be expanded and contracted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only the second movable portion 402 may be configured by a link mechanism that can be expanded and contracted, or both the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 can be expanded and deformed. You may be comprised by the mechanism. In addition, the pantograph mechanism is applied as an example of a link mechanism that can be expanded and contracted, but another link mechanism that can be expanded and contracted may be applied.

  An effect control CPU 120 is provided as an operation control means for controlling the operation of the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402. The effect control CPU 120 starts the extension operation of the first movable portion 302, and then The rotation of the drive gear 421 is started by the third effect motor 420 at a timing before the front end portions E1 and E2 of the first movable portion 302 approach the periphery of the rotation base portion 404. By doing in this way, an effect can be heightened rather than the case where the 1st movable part 302 and the 2nd movable part 402 are changed at the same timing.

  For example, when the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 are deformed at the same timing, the second movable portion 402 is deformed before the first movable portion 302 approaches the second movable portion 402. Therefore, it becomes difficult to be recognized as one long structure. Therefore, it is preferable to deform the second movable part 402 at a timing when the first movable part 302 comes close to the second movable part 402 in accordance with the extension speed of the first movable part 302.

  In the present embodiment, the second movable portion 402 is deformed before the first movable portion 302 is deformed into the extended state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it deform | transform the 2nd movable part 402 after the movable part 302 deform | transforms into an expansion | extension state.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), after the first movable portion 302 is deformed into the extended state and close to the second movable portion 402, the first movable portion 302 is moved as shown in FIG. 13 (C). 2 The movable portion 402 may be deformed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 13B, a predetermined time is required until the second movable portion 402 is deformed after the first movable portion 302 is deformed into the extended state and approaches the second movable portion 402. In this case, attention can be paid to whether or not the second movable portion 402 is deformed. At this time, the effect display device 5 displays an image for expecting whether or not the second movable portion 402 is deformed, causes the second movable portion 402 to emit light, vibrates, the first slide portion 405 or the first slide. The two slide portions 406a and 406b may be reciprocated at a short cycle.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a notice effect that is executed during the change display of the effect symbol, for example, an operation notice that is executed on condition that the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, a predetermined image is displayed. Step-up notice that changes in stages, line notice that characters appear and hit the line, cut-in notice that interrupts the specified image is displayed, and whether or not you will reach a big hit notice effect Reach notice to suggest, pseudo-continuous notice to notice whether or not to become a pseudo-ream, stop-design notice to notify the stop symbol, whether the game state is a probability fluctuation state (whether or not to hide) It is possible to execute multiple notices that are executed at the start of variable display or reach establishment, such as latent announcements. The effect, can be used as these various effects.

  Here, in the case where the movable effect is used as various effects, the effect control CPU 120 is a case where the change results in a big hit or a case where the change results in a super reach or a case where the change results in a loss or a case where the change does not develop into a super reach. If the first movable part 302 is deformed into the extended state at a higher rate than the above, the second movable part 402 is deformed, and if the fluctuation causes a loss or does not develop into super reach, the fluctuation After the first movable part 302 is deformed into a stretched state at a higher rate than in the case where it becomes a big hit or develops into super reach, the first movable part 302 is moved without deforming the second movable part 402. You may make it return to a contracted state. By doing in this way, a player's expectation with respect to a deformation | transformation of the 2nd movable part 402 can be raised.

  In addition, after the first movable part 302 is deformed to the extended state, the timing for deforming the second movable part 402 and the timing for returning the first movable part 302 to the contracted state without deforming the second movable part 402 are as follows: Although it may be a predetermined timing during the execution of the movable effect, it may be a timing when the operation means is operated. For example, after the first movable portion 302 is deformed to the extended state, a notification is made to prompt the operation of the operation means such as the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, and the second movable portion 402 is performed at the timing when the operation means is operated. The first movable portion 302 may be returned to the contracted state without deforming the second movable portion 402 or deforming the second movable portion 402.

  In the present embodiment, the first movable portion 302 is configured to be deformable by a link mechanism (pantograph mechanism). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a modified example shown in FIG. Like the first movable part 302A and the second movable part 402A as described above, the first movable part 302A and the second movable part 402A may be configured to be elastically deformable by sliding one slide member with respect to the other slide member. You may be comprised by the mechanism.

  In the present embodiment, the first movable portion 302 and the second movable portion 402 have different deformation structures. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the first movable portion 302 shown in FIG. Both may be comprised by the movable part which has the same deformation structure like 1st movable part 302A and 2nd movable part 402A.

  In the present embodiment, the first slide portion 405 of the second movable portion 402 protrudes in a direction away from the first movable portion 302 and along the extending direction of the first movable portion 302. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as long as it is deformed in a direction away from the first movable portion 302, for example, as shown in FIG. 402A protrudes and deforms in a direction away from the first movable portion 302A (a direction that does not enter a circular region centered on the first base portion 301) and in a direction that intersects the extending direction of the first movable portion 302. It may be provided as follows.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of gaming balls are inside the gaming machine. The number of loaned balls that are enclosed in a circulating manner and lent in response to a loan request by a player and the number of prize balls that are awarded in response to winnings are added, while the number of game balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines that are stored in the memory.

  In the embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of a gaming machine. However, for example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a gaming value. At the same time, the display result is derived to a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols that can be distinguished from each other, so that one game is completed and a prize is generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device. It can also be applied to a slot machine that has been made possible.
