The probability variation state continues to occur until the probability variation state termination condition is satisfied. The “probability change condition end condition” in the present embodiment is established by winning a big hit lottery.

  When the probability variation state has not occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. In addition, when the probability variation state has occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Incidentally, the winning probability of the small lottery such as the first small lottery or the second small lottery does not change depending on whether or not the probability variation state has occurred.

  Since it is easy to win the big hit lottery by the occurrence of the probable change state, the period until winning the big win lottery is likely to be shortened by the occurrence of the probable change state after the end of the big win game. The number of games is likely to decrease).

  Next, the type of jackpot will be described. In the present embodiment, the types of jackpots that can be determined when winning and the ratios for determining various jackpots are different between the first jackpot lottery and the second jackpot lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the jackpots that can be determined when the first jackpot lottery is won include the first probability variation jackpot, the second probability variation jackpot, the third probability variation jackpot, the fourth probability variation jackpot, the fifth There is a probability variation big hit, a first non-probability big hit, and a second non-probable big hit. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, when the first jackpot lottery is won, the first probability variation per 10% probability, the second probability variation per 10% probability, the third probability variation per 10% probability, 10% A fourth probability variation jackpot is determined with a probability of%, and a fifth probability variation jackpot with a probability of 15%. Further, in the present embodiment, when the first big hit lottery is won, the first non-probable variable big win is determined with a probability of 44% and the second non-probable variable big win is determined with a probability of 1%.

  The jackpots that can be determined when the second jackpot lottery is won include a fifth probability variation jackpot, a first non-probability variation jackpot, and a second non-probability variation jackpot. By the way, when the second big hit lottery is won in the present embodiment, the fifth probable big hit with a probability of 55%, the first non-probable big win with a probability of 40%, and the second non-probable big win with a probability of 5%. Is determined.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the big hit game based on any big hit among the first probable big hit to the fifth probable big hit, the first non-probable big hit, and the second non-probable big hit. The same number of open games are performed in the game. In this embodiment, 15 open games are played regardless of the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot. In the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot, the second probability variation jackpot, and the first non-probability variation jackpot, the first big winning opening 21 is opened. On the other hand, in the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot to the fifth probability variation jackpot and the second non-probability variation jackpot, the second grand prize winning port 22 is opened.

  In addition, when a big hit game based on any one of the first to fifth big odds big wins is generated, a positive change state is generated after the big hit games are ended (in the drawing, “probable change state”). Show). On the other hand, when a big hit game based on any one of the first non-probable big hit and the second non-probable big hit is generated, the probable state is not generated after the big hit game is finished (in the drawing, “non-probable change state”). "). The specific differences between the various jackpots will be described later.

  Next, small hits will be described. As described above, when a small hit game is generated (granted) in response to the winning of the small hit lottery, the second big prize opening 22 is opened in a predetermined manner during the small hit game, and the second A game ball is allowed to enter the big prize opening 22.

  In the small hit game in the present embodiment, at least once, the second big prize opening 22 is in an open state for a time when it is easy to enter the game ball into the second big prize opening 22. Specifically, in the small hit game of the present embodiment, the second big prize opening 22 is opened for 1.5 seconds (opened for the first time), then closed for 0.5 seconds, and again for 2 seconds. Only in the open state (second open). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, during the small hit game, the game ball is allowed to enter the second big winning opening 22 a plurality of times, but in the single small hit game, the second big win is made only once. You may comprise so that the entrance of the game ball to the opening | mouth 22 is accept | permitted.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the game to the second big prize opening 22 in the small hit game is longer than the time when it is easy to make the game ball enter the first big prize opening 21 or the second big prize opening 22 in the big hit game. The time when it is easier to enter the ball is shorter. It should be noted that the time when it is easy to enter the game ball into the first big prize opening 21 or the second big prize opening 22 in the big hit game and the game ball to enter the second big prize opening 22 in the small hit game. May be determined at the same time. In addition, the game ball is made to enter the second big prize opening 22 in the small hit game, rather than the time when it is easy to make the game ball enter the first big prize opening 21 or the second big prize opening 22 in the big hit game. The easier time may be set longer.

  In addition, when the small hit lottery is won, the occurrence of the probable change state is not terminated or the probable change state is not triggered by the win of the small hit lottery, and the gaming state is maintained. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the gaming state can be changed with the winning of the big hit lottery, while the gaming state cannot be changed with the winning of the small hit lottery.

Next, based on FIG. 3, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
A main control board 30 as a main control unit is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes and outputs various control commands according to the processing results. A sub-control board 31 as a sub-control unit is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The sub control board 31 is based on the control command output from the main control board 30, the display mode of the effect display device 14 (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.), the light emission mode of the decorative lamp LA, and the sound of the speaker SP. Control the output mode.

First, the main control board 30 will be described.
The main control board 30 includes a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control RAM 30c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided.

  A first start sensor SE1 and a second start sensor SE2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A first count sensor CS1 and a second count sensor CS2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The various sensors SE1, SE2, CS1, and CS2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input a detection signal output when a game ball is detected.

  Each special symbol display device 25, 27 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. Also, the hold display devices 26 and 28 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The actuators DA1 and DA2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a variation pattern as variation information and a variation pattern table as a variation information group (variation pattern group). The variation pattern table is configured by determinable variation patterns among a plurality of types of variation patterns, and determination rates (determination ratios) of various determinable variation patterns are determined. In addition, the types of variation patterns that can be determined and the determination probabilities (determination rates) of various variation patterns vary depending on the types of variation pattern tables. A description of the various variation pattern tables will be given later.

  In the variation pattern, the variation time of the symbol variation game is defined. In the present embodiment, the “variation time of the symbol variation game” refers to the time from the start of the special symbol variation game to the end of the special symbol variation game. Further, the contents of the effects performed by the effect display device 14, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP can be specified from the variation pattern.

  The variation patterns include a variation pattern for a jackpot effect and a variation pattern for a non-hit effect. The variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern that can be determined when the big hit (when the big hit lottery is won). The variation pattern for non-big hit production is determined when it is not big hit, that is, when it is a small hit (when winning the lottery lottery) or when it is out of play (when either the big hit lottery or the small lottery is not won) This is a possible variation pattern.

  In the present embodiment, a common non-big hit effect variation pattern is determined when it is out of the small hit, but a different variation pattern is determined when out of the small hit. Also good. For example, the variation pattern for the small hit effect is determined when the small hit is made, and the variation pattern for the loss effect is determined when the small hit is made. At this time, there may be a case where a variation pattern for a shift effect is determined at the time of a small hit, or a case where a variation pattern for a small hit effect is determined at the time of a loss.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state has occurred is greater than the number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state has not occurred. The jackpot determination value when the probability variation state is occurring includes all the jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is not occurring.

  Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery. The number of small hit determination values used in the first small hit lottery is smaller than the number of small hit determination values used in the second small hit lottery. That is, the winning probability of the second small lottery is set higher than the winning probability of the first small lottery. Further, the small hit determination value is set to a value different from the big hit determination value.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the big hit lottery (first big hit lottery) performed when the ball enters the first start port 15 and the second start port 17 The winning probability of the jackpot lottery (second jackpot lottery) performed at the time of entering the ball is the same winning probability in the situation where no probabilistic state has occurred (indicated in the drawing as “1/300”) It becomes. Similarly, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same winning probability (shown as “10/300” in the drawing) in a situation where a probability variation state has occurred. .

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit lottery (first small hit lottery) performed when the ball enters the first start port 15 and the second start port 17 are entered. The winning probability of the small hit lottery (second small lottery lottery) performed using the ball as a trigger does not change depending on whether or not the probability variation state has occurred. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the second small lottery (in the drawing, “289/300”) is more than the winning probability of the first small lottery (indicated in the drawing as “2/300”). (Shown) is higher.

  As described above, when a game ball enters the first start port 15 when the probability variation state has not occurred (indicated as “non-probability variation state” in the drawing), the winning probability is “1/300”. Since the big hit lottery is performed and the small hit lottery is performed under the winning probability of “2/300”, the probability of losing becomes “297/300”. Further, when a game ball enters the first starting port 15 when a probability variation state has occurred (indicated as “probability variation state” in the drawing), a big hit lottery is performed with a winning probability of “10/300”. Since a small lottery is performed under the winning probability of “2/300”, the probability of losing is “288/300”.

  On the other hand, when a game ball enters the second starting port 17 when the probability variation state has not occurred, a big win lottery is performed with a winning probability of “1/300” and a winning probability of “289/300”. Since the small hit lottery is performed below, the probability of losing is “10/300”. Also, when a game ball enters the second starting port 17 when the probability change state is occurring, a big win lottery is performed with a winning probability of “10/300”, and a winning probability of “289/300” Since the small win lottery is performed below, the probability of losing is “1/300”.

  As described above, when a game ball enters the second starting port 17, if the second big hit lottery is not won, the second small chance is close to 100% (for example, a probability of 85% to 100%). Win a winning lottery. Specifically, the probability of not winning either the second big win lottery or the second small win lottery (probability of losing) is “about 3.3%” when the probability variation state has not occurred, and the probability variation state It is “about 0.3%” at the time of occurrence.

  In the present embodiment, the time when the probability variation state has not occurred corresponds to the first probability lottery state, and the winning probability of the big hit lottery when the probability variation state does not occur corresponds to the first probability. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the time when the probability variation state has occurred corresponds to the second probability lottery state, and the winning probability of the big hit lottery when the probability variation state has occurred corresponds to the second probability.

  The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not a probability variation state is occurring. The main control RAM 30c stores table information that can specify the type of the variation pattern table to be referred to.

  In the main control board 30, various random numbers (numerical data and numerical information) used as hit determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers are generated. Incidentally, the hit determination random number is a random number used for the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery. The special symbol allocation random number is a random number used when determining the type of jackpot. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the sub control board 31 will be described.
The sub-control board 31 includes a sub-control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 31a, and a sub-control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided.

The sub-control RAM 31c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the sub control RAM 31c stores a sub high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not a probability variation state is occurring.

The contents of control executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 and the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 will be described below.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the control program will be described.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal output from the first start sensor SE1, the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). Whether or not the first hold is determined. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26 so as to represent the first hold memory number after rewriting. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first hold number command that can specify the first hold memory number after adding 1 to the sub control CPU 31a.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a uses various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution). (Random number) value is acquired, and random number information capable of specifying the acquired various random number values is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The values of various random numbers acquired at this time correspond to the values of various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game. Hereinafter, random number information that can specify various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game is referred to as “first random number information”.

  The first random number information may be configured by a random number value, or may be configured by information obtained by converting the random number value into other identifiable information. In addition, when storing the first random number information, the main control CPU 30a stores the order of entering the game balls (information storage order) that triggered the acquisition of the value of the random number, and the input of the game balls that have been entered first. The sphere order (information storage order) is stored in the main control RAM 30c so that it can be specified. In this way, by storing the first random number information that can specify various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game in the main control RAM 30c, the first big hit lottery and the first small hit lottery can be selected. The execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended.

  Further, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative or after acquiring various random number values related to the first special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a inputs the detection signal output from the second start sensor SE2. Then, the second hold determination is made as to whether or not the second hold storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second hold memory number and rewrites the second hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 28 so as to represent the second hold memory number after rewriting.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a uses various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a random number for hit determination, a random number for special symbol distribution, and a variable pattern distribution). Random number information capable of specifying the various random number values is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The values of various random numbers acquired at this time correspond to the values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game. Hereinafter, random number information that can specify various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game is referred to as “second random number information”.

  Similar to the first random number information, the second random number information may be configured by a random number value, or may be configured by information obtained by converting the random number value into other identifiable information. In addition, when storing the second random number information, the main control CPU 30a stores the order of entering the game balls that triggered the acquisition of the value of the random number (information storage order) and the input of the game balls that have entered previously. The sphere order (information storage order) is stored in the main control RAM 30c so that it can be specified. In this way, by storing the second random number information that can specify the values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game in the main control RAM 30c, the second big hit lottery or the second small hit lottery can be selected. The execution of the second symbol variation game is suspended.

Then, when the determination result of the second hold determination is negative or after acquiring various random number values related to the second special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.
Next, the first special symbol start process will be described.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special symbol is being executed, whether or not the first special symbol variation game or the winning game (big hit game, small hit game) is being executed. When the determination result of the first special symbol execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the first special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the determination during execution of the first special symbol is negative, the main control CPU 30a refers to the main control RAM 30c and determines whether or not the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended. Make a decision. When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the first special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a rewrites the first hold memory number by subtracting 1 from the first hold memory number and also stores the first hold memory 30c in the main control RAM 30c. Random number information (random number information that can identify values of hit determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers) is read. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26 so as to represent the first hold memory number after rewriting.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the hit determination random number that can be specified from the read first random number information matches the jackpot determination value, and performs a jackpot lottery (first jackpot lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot lottery using a jackpot determination value according to whether or not the probability variation state is occurring.

  When the first big win lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a stops at the first special symbol display device 25 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number that can be specified from the read first random number information. Determine the jackpot symbol to be displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a selects a jackpot symbol from among the jackpot symbols corresponding to any one of the first to fifth probability variation big hits, the first non-probable variation big hit, and the second non-probable variation big hit. decide. The main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot type by determining the jackpot symbol.

The lottery lottery (first lottery lottery) is performed. When the first small winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines the small winning symbol as a special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 25. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for the non-hit effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read first random number information. Then, the first special symbol start process is terminated.

  In addition, when the first big hit lottery and the first small win lottery are not won, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 25. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for the non-hit effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read first random number information. Then, the first special symbol start process is terminated.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a specifies a variation pattern and outputs a first variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the first decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the first special symbol start process to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 25 is changed and displayed so as to start the first special symbol fluctuation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a first end command for instructing the end of the first decorative symbol variation game when the variation time determined in the designated variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses. The display content of the first special symbol display device 25 is controlled so that the determined special symbol is stopped and displayed.

Next, the second special symbol start process will be described.
In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special symbol is being executed or whether a second special symbol variation game or a winning game (big hit game, small hit game) is being executed. If the determination result of the second special symbol execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the second special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the second special symbol execution determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a refers to the main control RAM 30c, and determines whether the second special symbol variation game execution is suspended. Make a decision. When the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the second special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a rewrites the second hold memory number by subtracting 1 from the second hold memory number and also stores the second hold memory 30c in the main control RAM 30c. Random number information (random number information that can identify values of hit determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers) is read. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 28 so as to represent the second hold memory number after rewriting.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the hit determination random number that can be specified from the read second random number information matches the jackpot determination value, and performs a jackpot lottery (second jackpot lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot lottery using a jackpot determination value according to whether or not the probability variation state is occurring.

  When the second big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a stops at the second special symbol display device 27 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number that can be specified from the read second random number information. Determine the jackpot symbol to be displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines a big hit symbol from among the big hit symbols corresponding to any one of the fifth probability variation big hit, the first non-probable variation big hit, and the second non-probable variation big hit. The main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot type by determining the jackpot symbol.

  After that, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for the jackpot effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read second random number information. Then, the second special symbol start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the second big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the random number for hit determination that can be specified from the read second random number information matches the small hit determination value. The small hit lottery (the second small hit lottery) is performed. When the second small winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines the small winning symbol as the special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device 27. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for non-hit effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read second random number information. Then, the second special symbol start process ends.

  In addition, when the second big hit lottery and the second small hit lottery are not won, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device 27. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for non-hit effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read second random number information. Then, the second special symbol start process ends.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a specifies a variation pattern and outputs a second variation pattern designation command that instructs the start of the second decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a second special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the second special symbol start process to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the special symbol of the second special symbol display device 27 is changed and displayed so as to start the second special symbol fluctuation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a second end command for instructing the end of the second decorative symbol variation game when the variation time determined in the designated variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses. The display content of the second special symbol display device 27 is controlled so that the determined special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that performs the big hit lottery such as the first big hit lottery or the second big hit lottery functions as the big hit lottery means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that performs the small hitting lottery such as the first small hitting lottery or the second small hitting lottery functions as the small hitting lottery means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the variation pattern from the variation pattern table corresponding to the variation pattern group functions as a variation pattern determination unit.

Next, the winning game process performed by the main control CPU 30a after the end of the special symbol variation game to be won will be described when the big win lottery or the small win lottery is won.
In the winning game process, if the main control CPU 30a wins the big win lottery, the open state of the first big winning opening 21 or the second big winning opening 22 after the end of the special symbol variation game that is the winning target of the big win lottery and Control the closed state and create a big hit game. Further, when the main control CPU 30a wins the small winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a controls the open state and the closed state of the second big winning opening 22 after the special symbol variation game to be won in the small winning lottery ends. Create a hit game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second grand prize winning port 22 is controlled to be in an open state, so that the second special winning means is allowed to allow the game ball to enter the second big prize winning port 22. The main control CPU 30a capable of controlling the special winning opening 22 functions as a special winning control means.

  In the winning game process, the main control CPU 30a causes the first big win lottery until the big hit game ends when the big hit game is generated after the first special symbol variation game to be won in the first big hit lottery. As the information indicating that the big hit game is being triggered by the winning of the first big hit, the first big hit information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. At the same time, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly ends the second special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special symbol display device 27 so as to stop and display the off symbol regardless of the lottery result of the second big hit lottery or the second small hit lottery. To do. That is, even if the second special symbol variation game being executed is a big hit or a small hit, if the first big hit lottery is won and a big hit game is generated, the second special symbol variation being executed The game is forced off. In addition, the main control CPU 30a wins the first big hit lottery and the big hit game is generated, that is, on the condition that the first big hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. A second stop command that can specify the forced termination of the symbol variation game is output to the sub-control CPU 31a.

  In the hit game process, the main control CPU 30a, when generating the small hit game after the end of the first special symbol variation game to be won in the first small hit lottery, until the small hit game ends. The first small hitting occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c as information indicating that a small hitting game is being triggered by the winning of the first small hitting lottery. At the same time, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly terminates the second special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special symbol display device 27 so as to stop and display the off symbol regardless of the lottery result of the second big hit lottery or the second small hit lottery. To do. In other words, even if the second special symbol variation game being executed is a big hit or a small win, if the first small win lottery is won and a small hit game is generated, the second special symbol being executed is generated. The symbol variation game is forcibly dismissed. Further, the main control CPU 30a wins the first small hit lottery to generate a small hit game, that is, on condition that the first small hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The second stop command is output to the sub control CPU 31a.

  In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 30c stores the case where the first big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, and the case where the first big hit lottery is won and the small hit game is generated. Different information is used, but it is not necessary to make it different. For example, during the occurrence of a big hit game triggered by the winning of the first big hit lottery and during the occurrence of a small hit game triggered by the winning of the first big hit lottery, the information during the first hit is stored in the main control RAM 30c. You may comprise so that it may be memorize | stored in.

  In the winning game process, the main control CPU 30a causes the second big hit lottery until the big hit game ends when the big hit game is generated after the end of the second special symbol variation game to be won in the second big hit lottery. As the information indicating that the big hit game is being triggered by the winning of the second, the second big hit winning information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. At the same time, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly ends the first special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 25 so as to stop and display the off symbol regardless of the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the first small hit lottery. To do. The main control CPU 30a wins the second jackpot lottery and the jackpot game is generated (the second jackpot occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c). Is output to the sub control CPU 31a.

  Further, in the hit game process, the main control CPU 30a, when generating the small hit game after the end of the second special symbol variation game to be won in the second small hit lottery, until the end of the small hit game, The second small hitting information is stored in the main control RAM 30c as information indicating that a small hitting game is being triggered by the winning of the second small winning lottery. At the same time, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly terminates the first special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 25 so as to stop and display the off symbol regardless of the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the first small hit lottery. To do. The main control CPU 30a first cancels on condition that the second small hitting lottery is won and a small hitting game is generated (the second small hitting occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c). The command is output to the sub control CPU 31a.

  In this embodiment, the main control RAM 30c stores the case where the second big hit lottery is won and a big hit game is generated, and the case where the second big hit lottery is won and a small hit game is generated. Different information is used, but it is not necessary to make it different. For example, during the occurrence of the big hit game triggered by the winning of the second big hit lottery and during the occurrence of the small hit game triggered by the winning of the second small hit lottery, the information during the second winning hit is the main control RAM 30c. You may comprise so that it may be memorize | stored in.

  In this way, when one special symbol variation game of two types of special symbol variation games is a big hit or small hit and a winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is generated, the other special symbol variation game is generated. The game is forcibly terminated with a gap. As a result, it is possible to prevent two special winning games generated from overlapping each special symbol variation game from being a big hit or a small hit.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a performs control (first special symbol start process and second special symbol start process) related to execution of the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game or the small hit game. To resume.

  The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state by managing the main high-accuracy flag. Specifically, when the probability variation state is caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the probability variation state is occurring in the main high probability flag. When the probability variation state does not occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the probability variation state is not occurring in the main high probability flag.

Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the sub control CPU 31a inputs the first variation pattern designation command and the first special symbol designation command, the symbol combination of the ornament symbols to be determined and stopped in the first ornament symbol variation game according to the instruction content of the command. To decide. When the sub control CPU 31a inputs the first variation pattern designation command, the sub control CPU 31a starts the variation display of the ornament symbols (symbol columns) in each column in the first ornament symbol variation game and starts the first ornament symbol variation game. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. Then, when the first end command is input, the sub control CPU 31a displays the combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped in the first decorative symbol variation game, and displays the combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped, thereby ending the first decorative symbol variation game. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

  Similarly, when the second control pattern designation command and the second special symbol designation command are input, the sub-control CPU 31a displays a decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the second decorative symbol variation game according to the instruction content of the command. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the second control pattern designation command is input, the sub control CPU 31a starts the display of the variation of the decorative symbols (symbol columns) of each column in the second decorative symbol variation game and starts the second decorative symbol variation game. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. Then, when the second end command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped in the second decorative symbol variation game, and displays the combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped to end the second decorative symbol variation game. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

  In addition, when the first control command is input, the sub control CPU 31a performs control to end the first decorative symbol variation game being executed. When the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the first stop command, the first decorative symbol variation game is displayed with the symbol combination of non-big hits being confirmed and stopped regardless of the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the first small hit lottery. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to end the process. Control that ends the first decorative symbol variation game triggered by the input of the first stop command corresponds to control that forcibly ends the first decorative symbol variation game.

  Similarly, when the second control CPU 31a inputs the second stop command, the sub control CPU 31a performs control to end the second decorative symbol variation game being executed. When the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the second stop command, the second decorative symbol variation game displays the non-big hit symbol combination in a fixed stop display regardless of the lottery result of the second big hit lottery or the second small hit lottery. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to end the process. The control for ending the second decorative symbol variation game triggered by the input of the second stop command corresponds to the control for forcibly terminating the second decorative symbol variable game.

  In the case of a configuration where “small symbol combination” is confirmed and stopped when winning a small lottery, while “out of symbol combination” is confirmed and stopped when out of play, When compulsorily ending each decorative symbol variation game, it is preferable to display a definite symbol combination in a fixed stop display. Naturally, the symbol combination of small hits may be confirmed and stopped by the control for forcibly ending each decorative symbol variation game. For example, the symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped only when forcibly ending is confirmed and stopped. You may comprise as follows.

  Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14, the light emission of the decoration lamp LA, the sound output of the speaker SP, and the like so as to execute the hitting effect during the occurrence of the big hit game. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14, the light emission of the decoration lamp LA, the sound output of the speaker SP, and the like so as to execute the effect during hitting during the occurrence of the small hit game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the hit-and-play effect performed during the occurrence of the big hit game is different from the hit-and-play effect performed during the occurrence of the small hit game.

  Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the game state to be specified by managing the sub high-accuracy flag. Specifically, when the probability variation state occurs, the sub control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the probability variation state is occurring in the sub-high accuracy flag. Further, when the probability variation state is not generated, the sub control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the probability variation state is not occurring in the sub-high accuracy flag.

Next, the variation pattern table in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment and changes (changes) in the variation pattern table will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11, the twelfth variation pattern table HT12, and the thirteenth variation pattern table HT13 are stored in the main control ROM 30b of the pachinko gaming machine 10 as variation pattern tables. ing. In addition, the main control ROM 30b stores a twenty-first variation pattern table HT21, a twenty-second variation pattern table HT22, a twenty-third variation pattern table HT23, and a twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 as variation pattern tables. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is executed, any variation pattern table among the variation pattern tables HT11 to HT13 is referred to. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second special symbol variation game is executed, any variation pattern table among the variation pattern tables HT21 to HT24 is referred to.

  In the variation pattern tables HT11 to HT13 and HT21 to HT24, at least some of the variation patterns among the variation patterns (variation patterns determined as determinable variation patterns) constituting each variation pattern table are different. The determination of the variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern table corresponds to the determination of the variation time of the special symbol variation game with reference to the variation pattern table. The variation pattern is determined by referring to the variation pattern table. That is, the variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns constituting the variation pattern table, that is, the variation pattern is determined from the referenced variation pattern table. Is intended to be the same as

  The average variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined by referring to the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 (shown as “average variation time” in the drawing) is the twelfth variation pattern table HT12 and the thirteenth variation pattern table HT11. It becomes shorter than the average of the variation times of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to any one of the variation pattern tables HT13.

  In addition, the average variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twelfth variation pattern table HT12 is the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the thirteenth variation pattern table HT13. Longer than the average.

  Further, the average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to any one of the variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24. Significantly longer than the average variation time. Further, the average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to any one of the variation pattern tables HT11 to HT13. Longer than the fluctuation time.

  The variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is the longest variation time among variation patterns constituting the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21. It is longer than the variation time of the special symbol variation game when the defined variation pattern is determined.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes or 10 minutes). . On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation time of the special symbol variation game determined by referring to the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes or 10 minutes). ) Is not exceeded.

  As described above, when the variation pattern is determined from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21, the variation time of the special symbol variation game is significantly longer than when the variation pattern is determined from another variation pattern table. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is 2 hours (= 7200 seconds) regardless of the lottery result of the big win lottery or the small hit lottery. It becomes.

  The average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-second variation pattern table HT22 is the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23. Longer than the average.

  Further, the average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the 24th variation pattern table HT24 is the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to any one of the variation pattern tables HT21 to HT23. It will be shorter than the fluctuation time.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, if a game ball is inserted into the second starting port 17, it will be won with a high probability for the small win lottery without winning the big win lottery. To do. For this reason, if a game ball is launched aiming at entering the second starting port 17 and the game ball enters the second starting port 17, it is highly probable that the game ball will enter the second major winning port 22. Entry is permitted and a chance to win a prize ball comes (occurs).

  However, when performing the second special symbol variation game, when determining the variation time (variation pattern) of the second special symbol variation game, when the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to, the second special symbol variation game per time The variation time of the symbol variation game is significantly increased. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, since the variation time of one second special symbol variation game is about 2 hours, a game ball enters the second start port 17 to change the second special symbol variation. About 2 hours after the game starts, the second grand prize opening 22 is opened.

  Then, in a situation where the 21st variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, a small amount of time has elapsed since the second special symbol variation game was started by causing the game ball to enter the second start port 17. It is assumed that a game ball is launched aiming at entering the second starting port 17 until the winning lottery is won and the second grand prize opening 22 is opened. In this case, the number of game balls fired per unit predetermined time exceeds the number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the game ball into the second big prize opening 22 per unit predetermined time.

  In addition, when a game ball is launched aiming at the game ball to the second start port 17, the game ball does not enter the first start port 15 as described above. The number of games is also greatly reduced. For this reason, in a situation where the 21st variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the game is aimed at entering the first start port 15 instead of the second start port 17. Is the preferred situation.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when the second special symbol variation game is performed, the second special symbol variation game is compared to the case where the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to. The variation time of the symbol variation game is shortened. That is, when the variation pattern table other than the 21st variation pattern table HT21 is referred to, the second special symbol when the small hit lottery is won than when the 21st variation pattern table HT21 is referenced. The fluctuation time of the fluctuation game is shortened. As a result, when a variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game, it is smaller per unit time than when the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referenced. The number of winning lotteries is likely to increase.

  And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of times of winning the small lottery per unit time increases, so that the second largest per unit predetermined time than the number of game balls fired per unit predetermined time. The number of game balls that can be acquired by entering a game ball into the winning opening 22 is increased. “When a variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game”, any of the variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24 is performed in performing the second special symbol variation game. This is when the variation pattern table is referenced.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game, the ball enters the second start port 17 If the game balls are fired aiming at, the number of game balls (held balls) possessed by the occurrence of the small hit game can be increased.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is performed, the first start port 15 is in any situation where any variation pattern table among the variation pattern tables HT11 to HT13 is referred to. When a game ball is launched aiming at entering the ball, the number of game balls possessed cannot be increased by the occurrence of a small hit game. It should be noted that “the number of game balls possessed by the occurrence of a small hit game cannot be increased” here means that even if a game ball is inserted into the second big prize opening 22 in the small hit game This does not mean that a winning ball cannot be obtained, but it means that it cannot be expected that the number of game balls possessed by the player before and after the small hit game will increase.

  For this reason, in a situation where a variation pattern table other than the 21st variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when the second special symbol variation game is performed, the goal is to enter the second start port 17 instead of the first start port 15. It is preferable to play a game.

  In order to increase the number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the second big prize opening 22 rather than the number of game balls that can be fired per unit predetermined time, the obstacle member in the game board 11 And the number of game balls that can be obtained as a prize ball when a game ball enters the second big prize opening 22. In addition, depending on the time and number of times that the second big prize opening 22 is opened in the small hit game, the game balls enter the second big prize opening 22 rather than the number of game balls that can be fired per unit predetermined time. It is also possible to increase the number of game balls that can be acquired.

  In the present embodiment, the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 corresponds to a normal variation pattern group. On the other hand, variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24 serving as variation pattern tables other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 correspond to a specific variation pattern group. In the present embodiment, the situation (state) in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to corresponds to the first state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the situation (state) in which the variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24 different from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 are referred to corresponds to the second state. In the following description, the situation (state) in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game is referred to as “first state”, and the twenty-first special symbol variation game is referred to as the twenty-first variation. A situation (state) in which a variation pattern table other than the variation pattern table HT21 is referred to is referred to as a “second state”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a game property of acquiring a game ball by a small hit game in the second state while acquiring a game ball by a big hit game. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can increase the number of game balls possessed by the small hit game in the first state in which the number of game balls possessed by the small hit game cannot be increased. It has a game that makes you expect two states. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a gaming property that allows the second state to be continued for a longer period in the second state where the number of game balls possessed by the small hit game can be increased. Have.

  Incidentally, the change from the first state to the second state means that the reference variation pattern table changes from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 to a variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21. Equivalent to. Similarly, changing from the second state to the first state means that the referenced fluctuation pattern table changes from a fluctuation pattern table other than the twenty-first fluctuation pattern table HT21 to the twenty-first fluctuation pattern table HT21. It corresponds to.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, the fluctuation pattern table (the fluctuation pattern group for determining the fluctuation pattern) to be referred to after the big hit game is changed changes. There is. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, there are cases where the variation pattern table to be referred to changes when the special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times.

Hereinafter, the variation pattern table referred to after the end of the big hit game will be described.
Note that when the referenced variation pattern table changes, the table information stored in the main control RAM 30c also changes. In the following description, for example, when “the twelfth variation pattern table HT12 is referred to”, “table information that can identify the twelfth variation pattern table HT12 is stored in the main control RAM 30c”. Means that. Further, for example, in the case of “the referenced variation pattern table changes from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 to the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24”, “the variation pattern table identifiable from the table information is the twenty-first variation pattern table. The change pattern table HT21 changes to the 24th change pattern table HT24 ".

  As shown in FIG. 6, after the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit, the twelfth fluctuation pattern table HT12 and the twenty-first fluctuation pattern table HT21 are referred to regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery win. The Thereafter, after 50 special symbol variation games corresponding to the first number are executed without winning the big hit lottery, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 are referred to. That is, after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot is finished, the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to until 50 special symbol variation games are executed, and then the variation pattern table referred to is the twenty-first variation pattern table. The variation pattern table HT21 changes to the 24th variation pattern table HT24.

  In this way, after the big hit game based on the first probability variable big win is over, the 21st fluctuation pattern table HT21 is referred to when the first number of special symbol fluctuation games are performed without winning the big hit lottery. The state changes from the first state to the second state in which the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 is referenced.

  After the jackpot game based on the second probability variable jackpot is over, the thirteenth variation pattern table HT13 and the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 are referred to regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. After that, after the special symbol variation game corresponding to the second number is executed without winning the big hit lottery, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 are referred to. That is, after the big hit game based on the second probability variable big hit, the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to until the special symbol variation game is executed 100 times, and then the variation pattern table referred to is the twenty-first variation pattern table. The variation pattern table HT21 changes to the 24th variation pattern table HT24.

  Thus, after the end of the jackpot game based on the second probability variation jackpot, if the special symbol variation game for the second number greater than the first number is performed without winning the jackpot lottery, the twenty-first variation pattern is performed. The state changes from the first state in which the table HT21 is referenced to the second state in which the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 is referenced.

  In addition, when comparing the end of the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot and the end of the jackpot game based on the second probability variation jackpot, the after the end of the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot The period until the state changes from the first state to the second state is shorter than after the end of the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit. That is, since a probability variation state is generated after the big hit game based on either big hit of the first probability variation big hit or the second probability variation big hit, the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit rather than the second probability variable big hit. However, the special symbol variation game for the number of times until it changes to the second state without winning the big hit lottery is easy to be executed, and the expectation for changing to the second state is high.

  After the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit, if the probability variation state has not occurred at the time of the big hit lottery winning, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-second variation pattern table HT22 are referred to. Thereafter, after 50 special symbol variation games corresponding to the first predetermined number of times are executed without winning the big hit lottery, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 are referred to. . That is, after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, the twenty-second variation pattern table HT22 is referred to until 50 special symbol variation games are executed. The referenced variation pattern table changes from the twenty-second variation pattern table HT22 to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21.

  That is, after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, when the special symbol variation game for the first predetermined number of times is performed without winning the jackpot lottery, The state changes from the second state in which the variation pattern table HT22 is referenced to the first state in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referenced.

  In addition, even after the jackpot game based on the third winning jackpot game is over, if the winning game is occurring at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, until the jackpot game is generated after winning the jackpot lottery, The eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 are referred to. That is, after the end of the big hit game based on the third probability change big hit when the probability change state has occurred, the 24th variation pattern table HT24 is referred to until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. The second state to be continued.

  After the end of the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big win, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23 are referred to when the probability variation state has not occurred during the big hit lottery win. Thereafter, after 100 special symbol variation games corresponding to the second predetermined number of times are executed without winning the big hit lottery, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 are referred to. . That is, after the jackpot game based on the fourth probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, the 23rd variation pattern table HT23 is referred to until 100 special symbol variation games are executed, and then The referenced variation pattern table changes from the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23 to the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21.

  In other words, after the jackpot game based on the fourth probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, the special symbol variation game for the second predetermined number of times that is greater than the first predetermined number of times without winning the jackpot lottery. When this is done, the state changes from the second state in which the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23 is referenced to the first state in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referenced.

  In addition, even after the jackpot game based on the fourth jackpot big win is over, if the jackpot lottery win has occurred, if the jackpot lottery wins, until the jackpot game is created after winning the jackpot lottery, The eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 are referred to. In other words, after the end of the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big hit when the probability change state is occurring, the 24th variation pattern table HT24 is referred until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. The second state to be continued.

  In addition, when comparing the end of the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot and the end of the jackpot game based on the fourth probability variation jackpot, if a probability variation state has occurred at the time of winning the jackpot lottery There is no difference. On the other hand, if the probability change state has not occurred at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the second state after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big hit is after the end of the big hit game based on the third positive probability big hit. It takes a long time to change from the first state to the first state. Therefore, after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big hit, after the big hit game based on the third probability variable big hit, again the big hit lottery before the change from the second state to the first state The big hit game that was won is likely to occur, and there is a high expectation that the second state will continue without changing from the second state to the first state.

  If a big hit game based on the third probability change big hit or the fourth probability change big hit occurs when the probability change state is not generated in the first state, the state changes from the first state to the second state, and then When the number of symbol variation games is executed, the state changes from the second state to the first state.

  After the end of the big hit game based on the fifth probability variable big hit, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the first change pattern table HT11 until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit lottery is generated regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery win 24 variation pattern tables HT24 are referred to. In other words, after the big hit game based on the fifth probability variable big hit, the second state in which the 24th variation pattern table HT24 is referred to continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated.

  After the big hit game based on the first non-probable variable big hit, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 and the twenty-first variation pattern table until the big hit game is generated regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery win. Reference is made to HT21. In other words, after the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit is completed, the first state in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. .

  Further, when the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit is generated in the second state, the state changes from the second state to the first state. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the second state is changed to the first state in response to the winning of the big hit lottery in the second state.

  After the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery winning, until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 The twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 is referred to. That is, after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, the 24th fluctuation pattern table HT24, which is not the 21st fluctuation pattern table HT21, is won until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. The second state referred to continues.

  A probabilistic change state occurs after the end of the big hit game based on the fifth probable big hit, whereas a probable change state does not occur after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit. For this reason, after comparing the big hit game based on the fifth non-probable big hit with the end of the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit It is easier for the player to win the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game based on the fifth probability variation jackpot is over (the number of special symbol variation games is greater), and the second state is likely to continue. In other words, the duration of the second state is likely to be longer after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit than the end of the big hit game based on the fifth probability variable big hit, which is advantageous for the player. It can be said.

  Further, even after the end of the big hit game based on the first non-probability variable big hit, the probability change state does not occur as in the case of the end of the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit. However, the first non-probable big hit is in the first state after the end of the big hit game, and since the probable change state does not occur, the period of the first state after the end of the big hit game tends to be long, which is disadvantageous for the player. It can be said.

  The pachinko game according to the present embodiment, in which a winning ball can be obtained in the same manner during the big hit game based on any of the big hits of the first to fifth big odds, the first non-probable big hit, and the second non-probable big hit. In the machine 10, the advantage of the big hit differs depending on how the first state and the second state are controlled after the big hit game ends.

  And in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first non-probable big hit, the second non-probable big big win, the second non-probable big big win that is most advantageous for the player among the first probable big hit, the first non-probable big hit, and the second non-probable big big hit Then, it can be said that the fifth probability variation big hit is a big hit advantageous for the player. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first non-probable variable big hit can be said to be the most unfavorable big hit among the first to fifth probable big hits, the first non-probable big hit, and the second non-probable big hit.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the first probability variation big hit and the second probability variation big hit are compared, the number of symbol variation games required to change from the first state to the second state is small. It can be said that the first probability variation big hit is more advantageous than the second probability variation big hit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the third probability variation big hit and the fourth probability variation big hit are compared, the advantage when the probability variation state occurs when winning the big hit lottery is the same. On the other hand, when the probability change state has not occurred when winning the big hit lottery, the second state continues after the big hit game based on the fourth positive probability big hit rather than the third positive probability big hit. Since the number of times is large, it can be said that the fourth probability variation big hit is more advantageous than the third probability variation big hit.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation pattern table to be referenced does not change when a small hit game is generated. For example, when the first special symbol variation game is a small hit, the variation pattern table referred to before and after the symbol variation game may change, but this is caused by a small hit game. The change pattern table does not change in response to the fact that the lottery lottery is won.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation pattern table that is referred to after the jackpot game ends differs depending on the type of jackpot. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) in which the variation pattern is determined after the end of the big hit game can be changed based on at least the type of big hit in the case of winning the big hit lottery.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit is generated, a variation referred to after the big hit game ends according to the gaming state when the big hit lottery is won. The pattern table is different. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit game based on a big hit other than the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit occurs, regardless of the gaming state when winning the big hit lottery, The fluctuation pattern table is referred to after the big hit game ends. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, there is a variation pattern table (variation pattern group) in which a variation pattern is determined after the end of the big hit game based on the gaming state and the type of the big hit when the big hit lottery is won. Can change.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot, or based on the third probability variation jackpot or the fourth probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state is not given. After the big hit game is over, the variation pattern table changes according to the number of symbol variation games executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table may not change according to the number of symbol variation games executed after the end of the big hit game.

  The variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24 corresponding to a specific variation pattern have different reference periods depending on the type of the variation pattern table. Specifically, the 22nd variation pattern table HT22 is referred to as an upper limit until 50 symbol variation games are executed, and the 23rd variation pattern table HT23 is an upper limit until 100 symbol variation games are executed. The 24th variation pattern table HT24 is referred to until a big hit game is generated.

  In the present embodiment, after the jackpot game based on the fifth probability variation jackpot is over, the state becomes the second state and the probability variation state occurs. For this reason, in this embodiment, the big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit corresponds to the first big hit. In the present embodiment, after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the second state is entered and the probability variation state is generated. The jackpot game based on the probability variation jackpot is equivalent to the first jackpot. On the other hand, in this embodiment, after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, the second state is entered and the probability changed state is not generated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit corresponds to the second big hit.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect mode as the effect state is controlled. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, any one of the five types of effect modes of the normal effect mode, the countdown effect mode, the challenge effect mode, the first special effect mode, and the second special effect mode is controlled. The In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a different background image is displayed on the effect display device 14 for each effect mode.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 controls the effect mode. In the following description, for example, “the first special effect mode is controlled” means “the sub control CPU 31a controls the first special effect mode”. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a that controls the effect mode corresponding to the effect state functions as the effect state control means.

  As shown in FIG. 6, after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot is over, the countdown effect mode is controlled until the first number of special symbol variation games are executed without winning the jackpot lottery. The When the special symbol variation game for the first number of times is executed without winning the big hit lottery after the end of the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit, the first special effect mode is controlled.

  That is, after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot is over, the countdown effect mode is controlled when in the first state, and the countdown effect mode is changed from the first state to the second state. Transition to the first special effect mode. Note that “control the effect mode” means not only control for displaying the background image corresponding to the effect mode on the effect display device 14, but also control corresponding to each effect mode (for example, the determination ratio of the effect and the effect Type).

  Similarly, after the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit, the countdown effect mode is controlled until the second special symbol variation game is executed without winning the big hit lottery. When the special symbol variation game for the second number of times is executed without winning the big hit lottery after the end of the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit, the first special effect mode is controlled.

  That is, after the jackpot game based on the second probability variation jackpot is over, the countdown effect mode is controlled when in the first state, and the countdown effect mode is changed from the first state to the second state. Transition to the first special effect mode.

  Note that during the countdown effect mode after the big hit game based on the first probability variable big hit, the fluctuation pattern (the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game) is determined with reference to the twelfth fluctuation pattern table HT12. On the other hand, during the countdown effect mode after the big hit game based on the second probability variable big hit, the fluctuation pattern (the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game) is determined with reference to the thirteenth fluctuation pattern table HT13. As described above, the average variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the thirteenth variation pattern table HT13 is the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twelfth variation pattern table HT12. It becomes shorter than the average of the fluctuation time.

  Therefore, the variation time of each special symbol variation game in the countdown effect mode after the end of the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit is the change time of each special symbol variation game in the countdown effect mode after the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit. It becomes shorter than the fluctuation time. As a result, after the big hit game based on the second probability variable big hit, the special symbol variation game for the second number of times is executed without changing to the big win lottery, and the period from the change to the second state is felt short. Can do. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the disappointment that the big hit game based on the second positive change big hit that has a long period of time to change to the second state among the first positive change big hit and the second positive change big hit is generated. . Further, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel that the period until the change from the first state to the second state is long, and to suppress a decrease in the willingness to continue the game. it can.

  In addition, after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, the challenge is continued until the first predetermined number of special symbol variation games are executed without winning the jackpot lottery. The production mode is controlled. When the special symbol variation game for the first predetermined number of times is executed without winning the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has not occurred, the normal performance mode is set. Be controlled.

  That is, after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation big hit when the probability variation state has not occurred, the challenge effect mode is controlled in the second state, and changes from the second state to the first state. In connection with it, it transfers to challenge production mode from normal production mode.

  Similarly, after the jackpot game based on the fourth probability variation jackpot is over, the challenge effect mode is controlled until the second predetermined number of special symbol variation games are executed without winning the jackpot lottery. When the special symbol variation game for the second predetermined number of times is executed without winning the big hit lottery after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big hit, the normal performance mode is controlled.

  That is, after the jackpot game based on the fourth probability variation big hit when the probability variation state has not occurred, the challenge effect mode is controlled in the second state, and changes from the second state to the first state. In connection with it, it transfers to challenge production mode from normal production mode.

  It should be noted that during the challenge effect mode after the big hit game based on the third probability variable big hit, the fluctuation pattern (the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game) is determined with reference to the twenty-second fluctuation pattern table HT22. On the other hand, the variation pattern (the variation time of the second special symbol variation game) is determined with reference to the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23 during the challenge production mode after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variation big hit. As described above, the average variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-second variation pattern table HT22 is the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23. Longer than the average of the fluctuation time.

  Therefore, the variation time of each special symbol variation game in the challenge presentation mode after the end of the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit is the variation time of each special symbol variation game in the challenge presentation mode after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variation big hit. It becomes longer than the fluctuation time. As a result, after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot is over, the first predetermined number of times the special symbol variation game is executed without changing to the jackpot lottery, and a long period of time is felt. be able to. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the disappointment that the big hit game based on the third positive probability big hit having a short period until the first probability changing big hit and the fourth probability big hit is changed to the first state is generated. . Moreover, it can make it easy to make the period which becomes a 2nd state long, and can suppress the fall of interest.

  After the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has occurred, the first special effect mode is controlled until the jackpot game is created after winning the jackpot lottery. Similarly, after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variable big hit when the probability change state is occurring, the first special effect mode is controlled until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. The As described above, after the big hit game based on the third probability change big hit or the fourth probability change big hit when the probability change state is occurring, the second state continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. Then, while the second state continues, the first special effect mode is controlled.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit, the first special effect mode is controlled until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. In this way, after the big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit, the second state continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, and the second special state is continued while the second state continues. The mode is controlled.

  As described above, after the jackpot game based on the fifth probability variation jackpot and after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot or the fourth probability variation jackpot when the probability variation state has occurred, the jackpot lottery The first special performance mode is controlled until the big hit game is generated after winning. For this reason, when the probability variation state has occurred, even if a big hit game based on any of the third probability variation big hit to the fifth probability variation big hit has occurred, the occurrence state of the probability variation state (the probability variation state has occurred) Whether or not, etc.) and the effect mode to be controlled are not different. Therefore, even in the first state, depending on whether or not a probability variation state has occurred, the probability that the game will be deployed differs as when a big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit has occurred. Specifically, even in the first state, when the probability variation state has occurred rather than when the probability variation state has not occurred, the big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit has occurred. Thus, the first special performance mode is easily controlled after the big hit game is finished.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit, the normal performance mode is controlled until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. In this way, after the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit, the first state continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, and the normal performance mode is continued while the first state continues. Is controlled.

  After the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode is controlled until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a performs a lottery to determine which of the first special effect mode and the second special effect mode is to be controlled after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit is over. The effect mode (first special effect mode or second special effect mode) according to the result is controlled.

  In this way, after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, the second state continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, and while the second state continues, the second special The production mode may be controlled. The second special effect mode is controlled only after the end of the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit. For this reason, by controlling the second special performance mode, the player is in the most advantageous situation (state) in which the second state continues until the big hit game is generated without the probability variation state occurring. Can be grasped.

  In addition, the first special effect mode may be controlled even after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit. For this reason, even if the first special performance mode is controlled, the player is in the most advantageous situation (state) in which the probability change state has not occurred and the second state continues until the big hit game has occurred. Can be expected.

Here, the countdown effect mode will be described.
As described above, the countdown effect mode is changed from the first state to the second state when the special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times or 100 times) without winning the big hit lottery. This is a production mode that is performed in a situation where the situation changes. For this reason, during the countdown effect mode, there is a situation in which a predetermined number of special symbol variation games are expected to be executed without winning the big hit lottery.

  In the countdown effect mode, when the hero succeeds in getting rid of a predetermined number of enemy characters, the mode shifts from the countdown effect mode to the first special effect mode (changes from the first state to the second state). On the other hand, in the countdown effect mode, if the hero is found by the boss character before the hero has defeated a predetermined number of enemy characters, it is a big hit and the countdown effect mode ends.

  As shown in FIG. 7, during the countdown effect mode, the effect display device 14 displays the hero MG as an image with the hero as a motif and the enemy TG as an image with an enemy character as a motif. During the countdown effect mode, the effect display device 14 displays one or more enemy TGs.

  Then, in the countdown effect mode, when the hero succeeds in getting rid of a predetermined number of enemy characters, the effect is developed so as to shift from the countdown effect mode to the first special effect mode. Then, during the countdown effect mode, the effect display device 14 displays the countdown image CD. In the countdown image CD, the remaining extermination number indicating how many remaining enemy characters are extinguished to shift to the first special effect mode is shown. Incidentally, the countdown image CD shown in FIG. 7 indicates that the remaining extinction number is “34”.

  In this embodiment, every time the special symbol variation game is executed during the countdown effect mode, 1 is subtracted from the remaining number of exterminations indicated by the countdown image CD. For this reason, during the countdown effect mode, every time the special symbol variation game is executed, the remaining extinction number indicated by the countdown image CD changes by “1 (unit amount)”.

  In addition, the remaining extinction number shown in the countdown image CD is the remaining number of times from the first state to the second state after the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit or the second probability variation big hit. Suggests the number of special symbol variation games.

  When the big hit lottery is won during the countdown effect mode, an image with a motif of a boss character different from the enemy character is displayed on the effect display device 14, and after the effect is developed with the content that the hero is found in the boss character, A big hit game is created.

  Since the countdown effect mode is in the first state, the game ball is fired aiming at entering the first start port 15, that is, the game ball flows down the left side of the effect display device 14. Thus, the left-handed suggestion image LG instructing to fire the game ball is displayed. The display of the left-hand suggestion image LG corresponds to an effect that prompts the player to launch a game ball aiming at entering the first start port 15.

Hereinafter, control related to the countdown effect mode will be described.
When the big hit game based on the first probability change big hit or the second probability change big hit is generated, the sub control CPU 31a sets the number of times of the special symbol variation game from the end of the big hit game to the second state to the first state. The number of specific transitions is stored in the sub control RAM 31c. Specifically, when the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit is generated, the sub control CPU 31a stores the first specific transition count indicating “50 times” in the sub control RAM 31c. On the other hand, when the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit is generated, the sub control CPU 31a stores the first specific transition count indicating "100 times" in the sub control RAM 31c.

  In the present embodiment, the first probability variation big hit and the second probability variation big hit correspond to a specific big hit. Further, “after a specific jackpot” corresponds to “after a jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot”. Further, in this embodiment, the predetermined number of times from the first state to the second state after a specific big hit is changed to “50” in the case of the first probability variation big hit, and in the case of the second probability variation big hit. Becomes “100”. That is, the predetermined number of times from the first state to the second state after the specific big hit is changed according to the specific type of the big hit. In the present embodiment, the first non-probable big hit that does not change to the second state triggered by the number of symbol variation games executed after the big hit game corresponds to a non-specific big hit. In the present embodiment, the “first specific transition number” is “the actual remaining number of times until the number of symbol variation games executed after a specific big hit reaches a predetermined number of times (until the actual predetermined number of times is reached). This corresponds to “the remaining number of times”

  In addition, when the first specific number of transitions is not “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 31a subtracts 1 every time the execution of the special symbol variation game is completed. When the number of first specific transitions after the subtraction reaches “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 31a switches the effect mode to be controlled from the countdown effect mode to the first special effect mode. Thereby, it shifts from the countdown effect mode to the first special effect mode.

  Further, during the countdown effect mode, the sub control CPU 31a controls the remaining number of extinctions indicated by the countdown image CD based on the first specific number of transitions stored in the sub control RAM 31c.

  The sub control CPU 31a stores the first specific number of transitions in the sub control RAM 31c after the end of the big hit game based on the first probability change big hit or the second probability change big hit, and starts control of the countdown effect mode. At this time, the sub control CPU 31a determines the number of remaining extinctions indicated by the countdown image CD as the number of times equal to or greater than the first specific transition number stored in the sub control RAM 31c.

Then, the sub-control CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the remaining extinct number indicated by the countdown image CD every time the special symbol variation game is executed during the control of the countdown effect mode.
In addition, during the control of the countdown effect mode, the sub control CPU 31a performs the remaining extermination when the special symbol variation game is performed when the remaining extermination number indicated by the countdown image CD is greater than the first specific transition number. A lottery is performed to determine whether or not to subtract one or more numbers. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, “when the number of remaining extincts indicated by the countdown image CD is greater than the number of first specific transitions” is greater than the number of remaining times until the actual predetermined number of times is reached in the specific suggestion effect. This corresponds to the case of suggesting a large number of times.

  Then, when it is decided to subtract 1 or more of the remaining extermination number when the special symbol variation game is performed, the sub control CPU 31a does not make the remaining extermination number indicated by the countdown image CD less than the first specific transition number. So subtract from the number of remaining exterminations. The sub-control CPU 31a displays the countdown image CD when the first specific transition number is “1”, that is, when the first specific transition number reaches “0 (zero)” by executing the special symbol variation game. The remaining extinct number is subtracted so that the remaining extinct number reaches “0 (zero)”.

  As described above, in the effect display device 14 in the countdown effect mode, the countdown image CD may suggest more times than the number of the special symbol variation games until the actual change to the second state. That is, the effect display device 14 that displays the countdown image CD is configured to be able to suggest more times than the remaining number of times of the special symbol variation game until the actual change to the second state.

  In the countdown effect mode, the effect display device 14 may notify the same number as the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the second state. That is, the effect display device 14 that displays the countdown image CD is configured to be able to notify the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the second state. In the present embodiment, the display of the countdown image CD corresponds to a specific suggestion effect, and the effect display device 14 that displays the countdown image CD functions as a specific suggestion effect execution unit.

  In addition, during the control of the countdown effect mode, the sub control CPU 31a displays the display contents of the effect display device 14 so that the main character performs an effect of defeating the enemy character by the value subtracted from the remaining number of extinctions indicated by the countdown image CD. To control.

  In addition, when the sub control CPU 31a wins the big win lottery during the control of the countdown effect mode, the sub control CPU 31a makes the boss character appear in the special symbol variation game to be won and the hero is found in the boss character. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to perform the effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the left-handed suggestion image LG during the control of the countdown effect mode.

Next, the challenge effect mode will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, if the second jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot game is generated, the second jackpot lottery is won with a higher probability than the first jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot game is generated. You can expect to be in a state. Then, the challenge effect mode is a situation in which the number of times corresponding to the special number (in this embodiment, 50 times or 100 times) is changed from the second state to the first state when the special symbol variation game is executed. It is a production mode to be performed. Therefore, during the challenge effect mode, the second big hit lottery is won before the second state is changed to the first state, and the second state is expected to continue with a high probability.

  In the challenge production mode, when the hero succeeds in finding an enemy character, a big hit game is generated. And in the hit performance during the big hit game, the main character and the enemy character confront each other, and if the main character wins, after the big hit game is in the second state, After the big hit game ends, the first state is entered. On the other hand, in the challenge production mode, when the hero is found by the boss character and defeats the confrontation with the boss character, the challenge production mode is shifted to the normal production mode.

  As shown in FIG. 8, during the challenge production mode, the production display device 14 displays the main character MG as an image with the main character as a motif. And in challenge production mode, if a hero succeeds in discovering an enemy character, production is developed so that a big hit game may occur. Then, during the challenge effect mode, the effect display device 14 displays the challenge count image CK. The number-of-challenge images CK indicate the number of remaining games that suggests how many times the remaining special symbol variation game is executed, the transition from the challenge effect mode to the normal effect mode. Incidentally, the challenge count image CK shown in FIG. 8 suggests that the number of remaining games is “43”. In this way, the remaining number of games is shown as a numerical value.

  In this embodiment, every time the special symbol variation game is executed during the challenge effect mode, the remaining number of games indicated by the challenge count image CK is subtracted by 1 (changes). For this reason, each time the special symbol variation game is executed during the challenge effect mode, the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK is reduced by “1” corresponding to a predetermined amount (unit amount).

  In addition, the number of remaining games shown in the challenge count image CK is the remaining number of times from the second state to the first state after the end of the big hit game based on the third probability change big hit or the fourth probability change big hit. This suggests the number of special symbol variation games.

  Further, in the case of transitioning to the normal performance mode without winning the big win lottery during the challenge performance mode, an image having a boss character different from the enemy character as a motif is displayed on the performance display device 14. Then, after the hero is discovered by the boss character and the production is developed with the content that the hero loses the confrontation with the boss character, the mode is shifted from the challenge production mode to the normal production mode.

  Since it is in the second state during the challenge production mode, the game ball is fired aiming at entering the second start port 17, that is, the game ball flows down on the right side of the production display device 14 in front view. A right-hand suggestion image RG instructing to fire the game ball is displayed. The display of the right strike suggestion image RG corresponds to an effect that prompts the player to launch a game ball aiming at entering the second start port 17.

Hereinafter, control related to the challenge effect mode will be described.
When a big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit is generated, the sub control CPU 31a sets the second number of special symbol variation games from the end of the big hit game to the first state. The number of specific transitions is stored in the sub control RAM 31c. Specifically, when the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit is generated, the secondary control CPU 31a stores the second specific transition count indicating “50 times” in the secondary control RAM 31c. On the other hand, when the big hit game based on the fourth probability variation big hit is generated, the secondary control CPU 31a stores the second specific number of transitions indicating "100 times" in the secondary control RAM 31c.

  In the present embodiment, the third probability variation big hit and the fourth probability variation big hit correspond to the special big hit. Further, “after special jackpot” corresponds to “after jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot or the fourth probability variation jackpot”. In the present embodiment, the special number of times (predetermined number of times) from the second state after the special big hit to the change to the first state is “50” in the case of the third big probability big hit, In the case of big hit, it is “100”. That is, depending on the type of special big hit, the special number of times from the second state after the special big hit to the change to the first state is different. In the present embodiment, the fifth probability variation big hit and the second non-probable variation big hit that do not change to the first state triggered by the number of symbol variation games executed after the big hit game correspond to the non-special big hit. In the present embodiment, the “second specific number of transitions” is “the actual remaining number of times until the number of symbol variation games executed after the special big hit reaches the special number (the remaining number until the specific number of implementations is reached”). Times) ”.

  In addition, when the second specific number of transitions is not “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 31a decrements the second specific number of transitions by 1 every time the execution of the special symbol variation game is completed. Then, when the second specific number of transitions after the subtraction reaches “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 31a switches the effect mode to be controlled from the challenge effect mode to the normal effect mode. Thereby, it shifts from challenge production mode to normal production mode.

  Further, during the challenge effect mode, the sub control CPU 31a controls the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK based on the second specific number of transitions stored in the sub control RAM 31c.

  The sub control CPU 31a stores the second specific number of transitions in the sub control RAM 31c after the end of the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, and starts control of the challenge effect mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK that does not exceed the second specific transition count stored in the sub-control RAM 31c.

The sub-control CPU 31a decrements the remaining number of games indicated by the challenge count image CK by 1 each time the special symbol variation game is executed during the control of the challenge effect mode.
Further, the sub-control CPU 31a has a remaining number when the special symbol variation game is performed when the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK is less than the second specific transition count during the control of the challenge effect mode. A lottery is performed on whether to increase the number of games. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, “when the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge number image CK is less than the second specific number of transitions” is “from the remaining number of times until the actual special number is reached in the special suggestion effect” Corresponds to the case of suggesting a small number of times.

  Further, when it is determined that the remaining number of games is to be increased when the special symbol variation game is performed, the sub control CPU 31a stores the remaining number of games indicated by the challenge number image CK in the second specific transition number. The increase in the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK is determined so as not to exceed. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to increase the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK by the determined increase number.

  As described above, in the challenge display mode 14 in the challenge display mode, the number of times less than the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the first state may be suggested in the challenge count image CK. That is, the effect display device 14 that displays the challenge count image CK is configured to be able to suggest a smaller number of times than the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the first state.

  In the challenge effect mode, the effect display device 14 may notify the same number as the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the first state. That is, the effect display device 14 displaying the challenge count image CK is configured to be able to notify the number of special symbol variation games until the actual change to the first state. In the present embodiment, the display of the challenge count image CK corresponds to a special suggestion effect, and the effect display device 14 that displays the challenge count image CK functions as a special suggestion effect execution means.

  In addition, when the second specific number of transitions reaches “0” during the control of the challenge effect mode, the sub-control CPU 31a makes the boss character appear and performs an effect in which the hero loses the confrontation with the boss character. In addition, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. Then, after the end of the special symbol variation game, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect mode so as to shift from the challenge effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  When the sub-control CPU 31a wins the big hit lottery during the control of the challenge effect mode, the main character and the enemy character appear during the execution of the special symbol fluctuation game that is the subject of the winning, and the main character selects the enemy character. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to produce an effect that succeeds in discovery. Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to display the right-handed suggestion image RG during the control of the challenge effect mode.

Here, the game property (game property) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
In the present embodiment, in the first state in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the player possesses even if the game ball is launched aiming at entering the second starting port 17 It is not possible to increase the number of playing balls (held balls). On the other hand, in the second state in which the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when the second special symbol variation game is performed, a small hit game is generated per unit predetermined time and the second large winning opening 22 is obtained. Since the number of times of opening becomes larger, the number of game balls possessed can be increased when the game balls are launched aiming at entering the second start port 17.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the game in the first state is continued, the number of game balls (held balls) possessed decreases while the game in the second state is continued. In this case, the number of game balls (held balls) possessed increases. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a state (first state) in which it is impossible to increase the number of game balls possessed by the referenced variation pattern table. A state (second state) in which the number of game balls can be increased is created.

  And when winning a big hit lottery in the first state, there is a case where the first state is changed to the second state after the end of the big hit game triggered by the win. For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a gaming property that, when in the first state, expects to win the big hit lottery and change to the second state.

  In addition, after the second state is reached, the game may change from the second state to the first state when the big win lottery is won or when a predetermined number of special symbol variation games are executed. For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when changing from the second state to the first state in response to the execution of a predetermined number of special symbol variation games, makes a big hit lottery before reaching the predetermined number of times. While expecting to win, the game has a game expecting that the period until winning the big hit lottery (the period when the second state is reached) will be longer. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the second state continues until the big hit lottery is won and the big hit game is generated, the second state continues for a longer time without winning the big hit lottery. Has the expected gameplay.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment may end the second state if it wins the big win lottery in the second state. It has a game that expects two states to continue.

  By the way, in a general pachinko machine, when a probability variation state has occurred, the probability of winning a big hit lottery increases, so the period until the next big hit lottery wins is shortened, so a probability variation state occurs. In many cases, this situation is advantageous to the player. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when in the second state, the time until the winning of the big hit lottery is longer when the probability variation state has not occurred, so the probability variation state has occurred. There are cases where it is more advantageous for the player when the probability variation state has not occurred. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a gaming property that makes a situation that is disadvantageous in a general pachinko gaming machine an advantageous situation.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after the big hit game based on the first probability change big hit or the second probability change big hit, the first state is set. Thereafter, when the special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times or 100 times), the state changes from the first state to the second state. Naturally, when the big hit lottery is won during the period from the first state to the second state, there is a possibility that the big win lottery will be changed to the second state after the big win game is triggered. However, if the special symbol variation game for a predetermined number of times is executed without winning the big hit lottery in the first state, the state is surely changed to the second state. In other words, from the first state (countdown effect mode) after the end of the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot, there is a possibility that the jackpot lottery is won and does not change to the second state. And a route that surely changes to the second state without winning the jackpot lottery.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment executes a predetermined number of special symbol variation games without winning the big hit lottery after the big hit game based on the first probable big hit or the second probable big hit. In this way, the player can expect to be in the second state, and even if the big hit lottery is won, the game has the expectation that after the big hit game is triggered, the second state will be entered.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the second state is set. Thereafter, when the special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times or 100 times), the state changes from the second state to the first state.

  As described above, after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the second state is entered, but when the special symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times, the game changes to the first state. . On the other hand, if the big hit lottery is won before the first state is changed from the second state after the big hit game based on the third probability variable big hit or the fourth probability variable big hit, the second state is reached after the big hit game is ended. There is a possibility. However, even if the second state is reached, the longer the period in which the second state continues, the more advantageous for the player. Therefore, if the second state is reached, the second state will continue longer. Expect.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment executes a predetermined number of special symbol variation games without winning the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit. The game is expected to continue the second state for a longer time while expecting to win the big hit lottery before being changed from the second state to the first state.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the big hit lottery is won, a variation pattern table as a variation pattern group for determining a variation pattern (variation time of the symbol variation game) is changed from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 (normal variation pattern group). In some cases, the pattern changes to a variation pattern table (specific variation pattern group) other than the variation pattern table HT21. When the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is in the second state, the variation time of the symbol variation game is shorter than that in the first state in which the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referenced. The number of small lottery wins per unit time increases. And when it is in the 2nd state, the game ball is allowed to enter the second large winning opening 22 as a special ball entry means by winning the small hitting lottery. The number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the second grand prize opening 22 is larger than the number of shots. That is, in the second state, it is possible to increase the number of game balls (held balls) possessed by winning the small lottery. In this way, using the small hit lottery, in the second state of the first state and the second state, it is possible to increase the possession ball by winning the small hit lottery (game). Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the game under such a game and improve the interest.

  (2) Based on at least the type of jackpot, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) for determining the variation pattern (the variation time of the symbol variation game) may change after the big hit game ends. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention not only to whether or not to win the jackpot lottery but also to the type of jackpot.

  (3) A variation pattern table (variation pattern group) for determining a variation pattern (variation time of a symbol variation game) may be changed from the end of the big hit game based on the game state and the type of the big hit when the big hit lottery is won. For this reason, not only the type of jackpot but also the gaming state when winning the lottery lottery can be noted and the game can be entertained. In addition, since the type of jackpot to be expected can be changed depending on the gaming state, it is possible to entertain the game while paying attention to the current gaming state.

  (4) The variation pattern table (variation pattern group) for determining the variation pattern (variation time of the symbol variation game) changes after the big hit game according to the number of symbol variation games executed after the termination of the jackpot game. obtain. Therefore, paying attention to the number of symbol variation games after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to entertain the game including a scene where the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery is not won.

  (5) Even if the lottery lottery is won in the second state in which the variation pattern is determined from the variation pattern table (specific variation pattern group) other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21, the lottery lottery is triggered. As a result, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) for determining the variation pattern (the variation time of the symbol variation game) is not changed. For this reason, the situation where the number of game balls (held balls) possessed by winning the small hit lottery in the second state is not terminated by the small hit lottery.

  By the way, if the situation of increasing the number of balls in the second state is ended by winning the small hit lottery, it cannot be determined whether or not it should be expected to win the small hit lottery, and it is difficult to entertain the game in the above situation. There is a risk of becoming. However, since the situation where the number of possessed balls is increased in the second state does not end by the winning of the small hit lottery, the small hit lottery is simply won and the small hit game is generated, and the second as a special pitching means. It becomes easy to entertain the game nature in which a game ball enters the big winning opening 22 and can acquire a prize ball.

  (6) In the second state in which the variation pattern is determined from the variation pattern table (specific variation pattern group) other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21, from the second state to the first state triggered by the winning of the big hit lottery And may change. For this reason, in the first state in which the variation pattern is determined from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 (normal variation pattern group), the game is enjoyed under the game nature that is expected to win the big hit lottery. On the other hand, in the second state, it is possible to entertain the game under a game nature that pays attention to how much an advantageous situation can be continued without winning the jackpot lottery. In this way, it is possible to improve interest by changing the sense of expectation for winning the big hit lottery in the first state and the second state.

  (7) After changing from the first state to the second state, the state may change from the second state to the first state when a predetermined number of symbol variation games (special symbol variation game) are executed. . For example, in the above embodiment, the end of the big hit game based on the third probability variable big hit is in the second state, but when the 50 symbol variation game is executed, it changes to the first state. For this reason, attention is paid to how much the ball can be increased before the predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed after changing from the first state to the second state, or from the first state to the second state. It is possible to improve interest by paying attention to whether the second state is changed to the first state when a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed after the state is reached.

  (8) Depending on the type of the variation pattern table (specific variation pattern group) other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21, the variation pattern (variation time of the symbol variation game) is derived from the variation pattern table other than the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21. The determined period (period in which the second state is set) is different. For example, the variation pattern is determined from the 22nd variation pattern table HT22 after the end of the third probability variation big hit. At this time, the second state is until 50 symbol variation games (special symbol variation game) are executed. continue. On the other hand, the variation pattern is determined from the twenty-third variation pattern table HT23 after the end of the fourth probability variation big hit. At this time, the second state continues until 100 symbol variation games are executed. As described above, the period of the second state varies depending on the type of the variation pattern table corresponding to the specific variation pattern group. For this reason, after entering the second state, attention should be paid to what kind of variation pattern table the variation pattern has been determined, that is, how long the second state will continue, so as to improve the interest. Can do.

  (9) Using the small hit lottery, in the second state of the first state and the second state, to achieve a game (game) that can increase the possession ball by winning the small hit lottery, It is possible to enjoy the game under such a game and improve the interest. In addition to this, after a big hit game based on the first probable big hit or the second probable big hit corresponding to a specific big win, after entering the first state, a predetermined number (50 times or 100 times) of the symbol variation game (special When the symbol variation game is executed, the state may change to the second state. In other words, if the symbol variation game is executed for a predetermined number of times after the first state after the big hit game based on the first probability change big hit or the second probability change big hit, the number of balls is increased by winning the small hit lottery. It will change to a situation that can be allowed to. For this reason, after the big hit game based on the first probability change big hit or the second probability change big hit, the symbol variation game for a predetermined number of times is executed and the state is changed to the second state. You can entertain the period until it changes.

  (10) After the jackpot game (specific jackpot) based on the first probability variation jackpot, when the 50 symbol variation game (special symbol variation game) is executed, the state changes from the first state to the second state. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the second probability variation big hit (specific big hit), when the symbol variation game is executed 100 times, the game changes from the first state to the second state. In this way, the number of symbol variation games (predetermined number of times) from the first state to the second state differs depending on the type of the specific jackpot. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether it is a big hit.

  (11) By displaying the countdown image CD (specific suggestion effect), the number of times (predetermined number of times) from the first state to the second state (predetermined number of times) A period until the number of symbol variation games executed after the big hit), that is, a period until the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) changes is suggested. This makes it easier to grasp the period from the first state to the second state after the end of the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit or the second probability variation big hit. The player's feelings are changed as the period until the change is made becomes shorter, and it becomes easier to entertain the game. For example, as the period until changing to the second state becomes shorter, the period until an advantageous situation occurs becomes shorter, so the expectation for changing to the second state is gradually increased. Fun can be given to the player.

  (12) The remaining number of symbol variation games (special symbol variation games) from the first state to the second state suggested by the display of the countdown image CD (specific suggestion effect) is actually from the first state. There may be more than the remaining number of times of the symbol variation game until it changes to the 2nd state. For this reason, while taking into consideration the contents of the countdown image CD, it is possible to give the enjoyment of estimating the remaining number of symbol variation games until the actual change from the first state to the second state, and to improve the interest. . Also, even if the remaining number of symbol change games until the transition from the first state to the second state suggested by the countdown image CD is large, it can be expected to actually be small and the game can be enjoyed. .

  (13) The remaining number of symbol variation games from the first state to the second state suggested by the display of the countdown image CD (specific suggestion effect) is the unit amount “1” every time the symbol variation game is performed. Only changes. In such a situation, the remaining number of times of the symbol variation game until it changes from the first state to the second state suggested by the countdown image CD may change by an amount larger than the unit amount. For this reason, it becomes easy to keep the countdown image CD focused, and it can be expected that the countdown image will change more than usual.

  (14) After the jackpot game (the specific jackpot) based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot, the first state is entered, but the first game is executed when a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed. The state changes from the state to the second state. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit (non-specific big hit), the first state is entered, but from the first state to the second state triggered by the number of symbol variation games executed thereafter. It does not change. For this reason, even if it is a case where it is a 1st state after the big hit game is complete | finished, it can be made to focus on which big hit after a specific big hit and a non-specific big hit, and a game can be enjoyed. Also, when the first state is reached after the big hit game, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to whether or not the state changes from the first state to the second state when a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed.

  (15) Using the small hit lottery, in the second state of the first state and the second state, to achieve a game (game) that can increase the number of balls by winning the small hit lottery, It is possible to enjoy the game under such a game and improve the interest. In addition to this, after the big hit game based on the third probability change big hit or the fourth probability change big hit corresponding to the special big hit, after entering the second state, a special number (50 times or 100 times) of the symbol variation game (special When the symbol variation game is executed, the state may change to the first state. That is, if the symbol variation game for a special number of times is executed after the second state after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the state changes from the second state to the first state. Therefore, the situation in which the number of possessed balls can be increased by winning the lottery lottery ends. For this reason, after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the number of times that the holding ball is increased after the special number of symbol variation games are executed and the state changes to the first state. You can entertain your game by paying attention to what you can do.

  (16) After the big hit game (special big hit) based on the third probability variable big hit, when 50 symbol variation games (special symbol variation game) are executed, the state changes from the second state to the first state. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the fourth probability variation big hit (special big hit), when the symbol variation game is executed 100 times, the game changes from the second state to the first state. As described above, since the number of symbol variation games (special number) from the second state to the first state varies depending on the type of special big hit, any type of special big hit is available even if it is a special big hit. It is possible to improve interest by focusing on

  (17) The number of challenge images CK (special suggestion effect), the number of times from the second state to the first state (special number of times), the jackpot game (special) based on the third probability variation big hit and the fourth probability variation big hit A period until the number of symbol variation games executed after the big hit), that is, a period until the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) changes is suggested. This makes it easier to grasp the period from the end of the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit until the change from the second state to the first state. For this reason, as the period until the change from the second state to the first state becomes shorter, the period until the advantageous situation ends becomes shorter, and the sense of crisis that the second state ends. It is possible to give the player a joy that gradually increases.

  (18) The remaining number of times of the symbol variation game (special symbol variation game) until the change from the second state to the first state suggested by the display (special suggestion effect) of the challenge number image CK is actually the second state There are cases where it is less than the remaining number of times of the symbol variation game until it changes to the first state. For this reason, while taking into consideration the content of the challenge count image CK, it is possible to give the enjoyment of guessing the remaining number of symbol variation games until the actual change from the second state to the first state, thereby improving the interest. it can. Also, even if the remaining number of symbol change games until the change from the second state to the first state suggested by the challenge number image CK is small, it can be expected to actually be large and entertain the game. it can.

  (19) The number of remaining times of the symbol variation game until the change from the second state to the first state suggested by the display (special suggestion effect) of the challenge count image CK is the unit amount “ Decrease by 1 ”. In such a situation, there are cases where the remaining number of symbol variation games increases from the second state suggested by the challenge count image CK to the first state. For this reason, it becomes easy to keep paying attention to the challenge count image CK, and it can be expected that the remaining number of symbol variation games until the change from the second state to the first state suggested by the challenge count image CK increases. it can.

  (20) After the jackpot game (special jackpot) based on the third probability variation jackpot or the fourth probability variation jackpot, the second state is entered, but the second state is triggered by the execution of a special number of symbol variation games. To the first state. On the other hand, after the big hit game (non-special big hit) based on the fifth probable big hit or the second non-probable big hit, the second state is entered, but the second state is triggered by the number of symbol variation games executed thereafter. It does not change to the first state. For this reason, even if it is a case where it is a 2nd state after the big hit game is complete | finished, it can be made to pay attention about which special big hit or non-special big hit is after, and a game can be enjoyed. Also, when the second state is entered after the big hit game, it is noted that the second state continues without changing from the second state to the first state when the special number of symbol variation games are executed. Can be entertained.

  (21) Using the small hit lottery, in the second state of the first state and the second state, to realize a game (game) that can increase the ball by winning the small hit lottery, It is possible to enjoy the game under such a game and improve the interest. And in such a 2nd state, when winning by big hit lottery, it may change from the 2nd state to the 1st state. For this reason, in the situation where the probability variation state has not occurred in the second state (first probability lottery state), the second state is more likely to occur than in the situation where the probability variation state has occurred (second probability lottery state). The expectation that 2 states will continue becomes high. As a result, in addition to the types of variation pattern table, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to the winning probability of the big hit lottery (whether or not the probability variation state has occurred).

  Further, in general pachinko gaming machines, it is often a situation that is more advantageous for the player when the probability variation state has occurred than when the probability variation state has not occurred. Therefore, by creating a situation that is more advantageous to the player when the probability variation state is not occurring than when the probability variation state is occurring, it is possible to attract interest and effectively improve the interest. it can.

  (22) When a jackpot game based on the fifth probable big hit corresponding to the first jackpot is generated, and when a jackpot game based on the second non-probable big hit corresponding to the second jackpot is generated, In some cases, different presentation modes (production effects) may be controlled after the big hit game ends. For this reason, it may be possible to specify which of the fifth probable big hit and the second non-probable big hit is based on the effect mode controlled after the big hit game ends. As described above, in the production mode, whether the state is the first state or the second state, and whether the probability variation state has occurred (whether the state is the first probability lottery state or the second probability lottery state). Since it can be specified from the above, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to the production mode.

  (23) To the second start port 17 as the second pitching means, compared to the case where the big hit lottery performed when the game ball enters the first start port 15 as the first pitching means is won. In the case of winning the big hit lottery performed with the entry of the game ball, the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit is more likely to occur (the second big hit is more likely). Thereby, in the second state, it is possible to play the game actively aiming at the second start port 17, and it is easy to entertain the player with the game with the assumed gaming property.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the probability variation state does not occur after the end of the jackpot game, and the first state is maintained until the predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed after the end of the jackpot game. After a predetermined number of symbol variation games have been executed, a third uncertain variation big hit that becomes the second state may be provided. When the big hit game based on the third non-probable big hit is generated, until the end of the predetermined number of symbol variation games, such as after the big positive game based on the first positive probability big hit or the second probable big hit, You may comprise so that countdown production mode may be controlled. Since a probability variation state occurs after the big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit or the second probability variation big hit, the probability variation state does not occur after the big hit game ends. The expectation for changing to the second state by executing a predetermined number of symbol change games without winning the big hit lottery increases. As described above, when the third non-probable big hit is provided in addition to the first probable big hit or the second probable big hit, whether or not the probable state is generated after the big hit game, that is, the state is changed to the second state. It is possible to further increase the degree of attention as to whether or not there is a high expectation to do.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the probability variation state does not occur after the end of the big hit game, and the second time from the end of the big hit game until the predetermined number of times (special number) of the symbol variation game is executed. A fourth non-probable big hit that becomes the first state after the state has been executed and the predetermined number of symbol variation games have been executed may be provided. When the big hit game based on the fourth non-probable big hit is generated, until the end of the predetermined number of symbol variation games, such as after the big positive game based on the third probable big hit or the fourth probable big hit, You may comprise so that challenge presentation mode may be controlled. In addition, since the probability variation state occurs after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, the probability variation state does not occur after the big hit game ends, and after the big hit game based on the fourth non-probable variation big hit. The feeling of expectation for winning the big hit lottery before the predetermined number of symbol variation games is executed is low. As described above, when the fourth non-probable big hit is provided in addition to the third probable big hit or the fourth probable big hit, whether or not the probable state is generated after the big hit game, that is, the second state is longer. It is possible to further increase the degree of attention as to whether or not there is a high expectation for continuing. In addition, after the big hit game based on the fourth non-probable big hit, the probable change state does not occur and the second state is reached, which corresponds to the second big hit. In addition, after the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit, the number of the symbol variation games executed does not change to the first state. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the fourth non-probable big hit, the game can change to the first state in response to the number of symbol variation games executed. For this reason, the big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit corresponds to a special big hit, and the big hit game based on the fourth non-probable big big hit corresponds to a non-special big hit. In this way, by providing the special big hit and the non-special big hit as the second big hit, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to how long the second state in which the probability variation state has not occurred is continued.

  In the above embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won in the first state, the first state may be changed to the second state regardless of the type of the big hit. Moreover, you may comprise so that it may change from a 2nd state to a 1st state when a predetermined condition is materialized in the 2nd state. This predetermined condition may be configured to be triggered by winning a big hit lottery, or triggered by the occurrence of a big hit game based on a big hit classified into a specific type among a plurality of types of big wins. You may comprise so that it may be materialized. In addition, the predetermined condition may be established when a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed without winning the big win lottery.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to change the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) after the end of the big hit game according to the gaming state and the type of big hit when the big hit lottery is won. For example, even when a probability variation state has occurred when winning the big hit lottery, if the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit in the above embodiment is given, it is predetermined after the big hit game ends. You may comprise so that it may be in a 2nd state until the number of symbol fluctuation games are performed.

  In the above embodiment, the variation pattern table in which the variation pattern is determined may not be changed according to the number of symbol variation games executed after the end of the big hit game. For example, the opportunity for changing the referenced variation pattern table may be only winning the big hit lottery.

  In the above embodiment, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) in which the variation pattern is determined can be changed when the small hit lottery is won or the small hit game is generated. Also good. For example, the variation pattern table may be changed only in the first state out of the first state and the second state when the small winning lottery is won. At this time, the variation pattern table referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game may be changed, or the variation pattern table referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game may be changed. Further, both the variation pattern table referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game and the variation pattern table referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game may be changed.

  -In the 2nd state of the said embodiment, you may comprise so that it may not change from a 2nd state to a 1st state triggered by having won the big hit lottery. In this case, for example, it is configured to change from the second state to the first state when a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed without winning the big win lottery after entering the second state. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the types of variation pattern tables (variation pattern tables HT22 to HT24 in the above embodiment) corresponding to a specific variation pattern group may not be plural, but may be one. Further, the period (reference period) in which the variation pattern is determined does not have to be different depending on the type of variation pattern table corresponding to the specific variation pattern group.

  In the above embodiment, when the countdown effect mode is controlled, the variation pattern table that is referred to is changed according to the period during which the countdown effect mode is controlled, but regardless of the period during which the countdown effect mode is controlled. A common (or single) variation pattern table may be referred to. As described above, when the common (or single) variation pattern table is referred regardless of the period during which the countdown effect mode is controlled, the period during which the countdown effect mode is controlled depending on the variation time of the symbol variation game or the like. It can suppress that it can identify. And, it is possible to improve the interest under the game nature in which the period during which the countdown effect mode is controlled is concealed and the extent to which the countdown effect mode is controlled is estimated.

  In the above embodiment, when the challenge effect mode is controlled, the variation pattern table that is referred to is changed according to the period during which the challenge effect mode is controlled, but regardless of the period during which the challenge effect mode is controlled. A common (or single) variation pattern table may be referred to. As described above, when the common (or single) variation pattern table is referred regardless of the period during which the challenge effect mode is controlled, the period during which the challenge effect mode is controlled depending on the variation time of the symbol variation game or the like. It can suppress that it can identify. And, it is possible to improve the interest under a game where the period during which the challenge effect mode is controlled is concealed and the extent to which the challenge effect mode is controlled is estimated.

  In the above embodiment, the number of big hits corresponding to a specific big hit (in the above embodiment, the first probability variation big hit and the second probability variation big hit) may be one or more types. Also good. For example, one or a plurality of types of jackpots having different periods during which the countdown effect mode is controlled may be added to the first chance bonus jackpot and the second chance bonus jackpot. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to further increase the degree of attention about how much the countdown effect mode is controlled, and to improve the interest.

  In the above embodiment, the remaining number of symbol variation games until the change from the first state to the second state suggested by the display of the countdown image CD (specific suggestion effect) is actually from the first state to the second state. There may be a case where the number is less than the remaining number of times of the symbol variation game until it changes. Moreover, in the said embodiment, the remaining frequency | count of the symbol change game until it changes from the 2nd state suggested by the display (special suggestion effect) of the challenge count image CK to a 1st state is actually a 2nd state from a 2nd state. There may be more cases than the remaining number of times of the symbol variation game until it changes to one state.

  In the above embodiment, the remaining number of symbols variation game (remaining extinction number) until the state is changed from the first state to the second state suggested by the display of the countdown image CD (specific suggestion effect) is the symbol variation game ( It may be configured such that it changes by a unit amount each time a special symbol variation game) is performed and does not change by an amount larger than the unit amount. In this case, by executing the symbol variation game for the first specific number of transition times, the remaining number of symbol variation games until the change from the first state to the second state suggested by the display of the countdown image CD is It is preferable to reach “0 (zero)”, that is, the number of times indicating transition to the first special effect mode. For example, if the unit amount is “1”, it is preferable that the stored number of first specific transitions and the number of remaining exterminations indicated by the countdown image CD are the same.

  In the countdown effect mode of the above embodiment, as an effect suggesting the remaining number of symbol variation games until the state changes from the first state to the second state, the number of remaining exterminations expressed as in the above embodiment is used. In addition to the effect to be subtracted, it may be an effect in which the content of the effect changes step by step. Similarly, in the challenge effect mode of the above embodiment, as an effect suggesting the remaining number of symbol variation games until the state changes from the second state to the first state, the remaining game that is quantified as in the above embodiment In addition to effects that reduce the number, effects that change the effect in stages may be used. For example, the effect in which the content of the effect changes step by step is an effect in which the color of the background image changes stepwise from blue to red, and changes to the second state as the background image becomes closer to red. The effect may be developed so as to suggest that the remaining number of symbol-changing games up to or the remaining number of symbol-changing games until changing to the first state is small. When configured in this way, switching the background image for the unit stage (predetermined stage) changes the remaining number of times by the unit amount, or reduces the remaining number of times until the specific number of times is reached by the predetermined amount. Equivalent to.

  In the above embodiment, after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot (specific jackpot) is common with the game after the jackpot game based on the first non-probability jackpot (non-specific jackpot) You may comprise so that production mode (common production state) may be controlled. For example, after the big hit game based on the first probable big hit or the second probable big hit, the normal performance mode may be controlled in the same manner as after the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit. In such a configuration, even if a big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit is generated, it is expected that a big hit game based on the first positive or negative big hit is generated. Thus, it is possible to entertain a game in the normal production mode that is in a common production state. That is, if the symbol variation game is executed, it is possible to expect a change from the first state to the second state and entertain the game in the normal performance mode. By the way, in this configuration, even when a big hit game based on the first probable big hit or the second probable big hit is generated, there is a sense of crisis that the big hit game based on the first non-probable big hit has occurred. Can be given. It should be noted that after the jackpot game based on the first probability variation jackpot or the second probability variation jackpot, after the jackpot game based on the first non-probability variation jackpot, it is not necessary to control the performance mode in common. If the common performance mode is controlled by the probability, it can be expected that a big hit game based on the first probability variation big hit or the second probability variation big hit has occurred.

  In the above embodiment, the number of big hits corresponding to the special big hit (in the above embodiment, the third probability variation big hit and the fourth probability variation big hit) may be one type or may be three or more types Good. For example, one or a plurality of types of jackpots having different periods during which the challenge effect mode is controlled may be added to the third chance bonus jackpot or the fourth chance bonus jackpot. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to further increase the degree of attention about how much the challenge effect mode is controlled and to improve the interest.

  In the above embodiment, the remaining number of remaining symbol variation games (the number of remaining games) until the first state is changed from the second state suggested by the display of the challenge number image CK (special suggestion effect) does not increase. Each time the symbol variation game (special symbol variation game) is performed, the unit may be reduced by a unit amount. In this case, the remaining number of symbol variation games until the first state is changed from the second state suggested by the display of the challenge count image CK by executing the symbol variation game for the second specific number of transitions is displayed. , “0 (zero)”, that is, it is preferable that the number of times indicating transition to the normal performance mode is reached. For example, if the unit amount is “1”, it is preferable that the stored number of second specific transitions and the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK are the same.

  In the above embodiment, the countdown image CD may not be displayed. That is, you may comprise so that the frequency | count of the symbol change game until it changes from a 1st state to a 2nd state cannot be grasped | ascertained (it hides). Similarly, the challenge count image CK may not be displayed. That is, you may comprise so that the frequency | count of the symbol change game until it changes from a 2nd state to a 1st state cannot be grasped | ascertained (it hides).

  In the above embodiment, the unit amount by which the remaining extinction number indicated by the countdown image CD changes every time the symbol variation game is played is not limited to “1”, and may be “5” or “10”, for example. Further, the unit amount by which the number of remaining games indicated by the challenge count image CK is reduced every time the symbol variation game is performed is not limited to “1”, and may be “2” or “10”, for example.

  In the above embodiment, after a big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit (special big hit), after a big hit game based on the fifth probability variable big hit or the second non-variable big hit (non-special big hit) The common production mode (common production state) may be controlled. For example, after the jackpot game based on the fifth probability variation jackpot or the second non-probability variation jackpot, the challenge performance mode is controlled in the same manner as after the jackpot game based on the third probability variation jackpot or the fourth probability variation jackpot. May be. In this case, even if a big hit game based on the fifth probable big hit or the second non-probable big hit occurs, a sense of crisis that the big hit game based on the third probable big hit or the fourth probable big hit has occurred. Can be enjoyed in the challenge production mode, which is a common production state. In other words, if the symbol variation game is executed, it is possible to give a sense of crisis that the state will change from the second state to the first state, and entertain the game in the challenge effect mode. Incidentally, in the case of such a configuration, even if a big hit game based on the third probability variable big hit or the fourth probability variable big hit is generated, a big hit game based on the fifth positive probability big hit or the second non-probable big hit is generated. Can give you a sense of crisis. It should be noted that after the big hit game based on the fifth probability variation big hit or the second non-probable big hit, after the big hit game based on the third probability variation big hit or the fourth probability variation big hit, even if the same production mode is not always controlled, it is predetermined. If the common performance mode is controlled with the probability of, it is possible to give a sense of crisis that a big hit game based on the third probability change big hit or the fourth probability change big hit has occurred.

  -In the above embodiment, an effect mode (effect state) controlled after the big hit game based on the fifth probability variable big hit corresponding to the first big hit and a big hit based on the second non-probable variable big hit equivalent to the second big hit The presentation mode controlled after the game may be configured to be different from each other, or the common presentation mode may be configured to be controlled.

  In the above embodiment, when winning the big hit lottery performed when the game ball enters the first start port 15 and when entering the game ball into the second start port 17 The probability that a big hit game based on the second non-probable variable big hit is generated may be the same as in the case of winning the big hit lottery. In addition, in the big hit lottery performed with the game ball entering the first start port 15 as compared to the case where the big hit lottery performed with the game ball entering the second start port 17 is won. In the case of winning, a big hit game based on the second non-probable big hit may be more likely to occur.

  The type of jackpot in the above embodiment may be the fifth probability variation jackpot, the first non-probability variation jackpot, and the second non-probability variation jackpot. In this case, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) in which the variation pattern is determined does not change according to the number of symbol variation games executed after the end of the big hit game. In this case, the variation pattern table in which the variation pattern is determined after the end of the big hit game does not change according to the gaming state when the big hit lottery is won. The types of jackpots may be the first probability variation jackpot, the second probability variation jackpot, and the first non-probability variation jackpot. The types of jackpots may be the third probability variation jackpot and the fourth probability variation jackpot.

  -In the effect display apparatus 14 of the said embodiment, when it is a 1st state, you may comprise so that a 1st decoration design variation game may be performed in a larger area | region than a 2nd decoration design variation game. Similarly, the effect display device 14 may be configured to execute the second decorative symbol variation game in a larger area than the first decorative symbol variation game when in the second state.

  In the above embodiment, in the first state, the second decorative symbol variation game may not be played on the effect display device 14. Similarly, in the second state, the first decorative symbol variation game may not be played on the effect display device 14.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the second start port 17 may be provided with an opening / closing blade operable in an open state in which the entrance port of the second start port 17 is enlarged. At this time, an operating gate that can be acquired by the game ball entering the lottery right to determine whether or not to open the opening and closing blades is disposed on the flow down path that can enter the second start port 17. May be. In this case, in the second state, the entrance opening of the second start port 17 is expanded by opening the opening / closing blade. Incidentally, when the opening / closing blade is provided in the second starting port 17, it may be configured such that a game ball can enter the second starting port 17 when the opening / closing blade is not in the open state (when in the closed state). It may be configured so that the ball is not possible (so as not to enter if it is not open). Note that the gaming machine of the above embodiment may be a gaming machine that does not cause an increase in the entrance rate (also referred to as a variable speed state or a short time state). The “entrance rate improvement state” refers to a state in which a game ball can easily enter the second start port 17 by at least one of the following three elements. The first element is that the probability that it is determined that the open / close blades are opened is higher than the normal probability, and the second element is that the open / close blades are open. The time until the opening / closing blade is actually opened after being determined is shortened, and the third factor is that the time during which the opening / closing blade is in the open state is increased.

  In addition, the gaming machine of the above embodiment may be a gaming machine in which an increased entrance rate is generated. And even if a big hit game based on the same type of big hit is generated, a variation pattern table that is referred to after the big hit game is ended depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win May be different. Furthermore, the variation pattern table that is referred to after the end of the big hit game may be varied according to the occurrence state of the probability variation state and the increased entrance rate state, not limited to the improved entrance rate state. The occurrence status of the probability variation state and the improved entrance rate state includes “when both the probability change state and the improved entrance rate state have occurred” and “when the improved entrance rate state has occurred. There are four situations depending on the combination of the presence / absence of the probability variation state and the presence / absence of the improved entrance rate state, such as “when the probability variation state is not occurring”. In this case, as in the above embodiment, the variation of the variation pattern table is changed more than the case where the variation pattern table referred to after the big hit game is different depending on whether or not the probability variation state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery. It can be increased, making it easier to improve interest.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, there may be one special winning opening or three or more. In the case where one big winning opening is provided, it is preferable to arrange the big winning opening on the flow path of the gaming ball in which the gaming ball can enter the second start opening 17.

  In the above embodiment, the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball when the game ball enters the first big prize opening 21 and the game ball entered into the second big prize opening 22 as an opportunity The number of game balls to be paid out as balls may be the same, or either one may be more (or less) than the other.

  -In the jackpot game of the above embodiment, the time during which the first big prize opening 21 or the second big prize opening 22 can be opened in each open game (upper limit opening time) may not be all the same, and a part is different. It may be. In addition, the number of open games in the jackpot game based on all the jackpots shown in the above embodiment may not be the same, and the number of open games in some jackpot games is more than the number of open games in other jackpot games. It may be more (or less).

  In the above embodiment, a special entrance that allows a game ball to enter can be provided in the game board 11, and a special opening / closing entrance that can be opened and closed can be provided in the game board 11. . The special opening / closing entrance may be configured such that a game ball can enter when in the open state and a game ball cannot enter when in the closed state. Further, the special opening / closing entrance may be opened when the game ball enters the special entrance. Alternatively, the special opening / closing entrance may be opened when a game ball enters the special entrance. In other words, the special opening / closing entrance may be opened without a predetermined lottery after the game ball enters the special entrance. Then, after the game ball enters the special entrance and the special opening and closing entrance is opened, the variation pattern table to be referred to may be changed. Incidentally, the special entrance may be the first start port 15 or the second start port 17, or may be a different entrance (for example, start port) from the start ports 15 and 17. The special opening / closing entrance may be the first entrance 21 or the second entrance 22 or may be a entrance different from the entrances 21 and 22. In addition, the special opening / closing entrance is configured so that it can be opened by the weight of the game ball entering the special entrance without being configured to be opened or closed by a solenoid or the like. May be.

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the big winning holes 21 and 22 which will be in an open state in the jackpot game based on each jackpot. For example, in a single jackpot game, an open game in which the first big winning opening 21 is opened and an open game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to perform the small hit lottery that is performed when the game ball enters the first start port 15, that is, the first small hit lottery. When the first small lottery lottery is not performed, the winning probability of the small hit lottery performed when the game ball enters the first start port 15 is “0%”. Correspondingly, the winning probability of the second small lottery is higher than the winning probability of the first small lottery. Even when the small hit lottery is not performed at the time of entering the first starting port 15, when the game is performed in the second state where the game is aimed at entering the second starting port 17, the first The number of times of winning a small lottery per unit time is larger than in the first state in which a game is played aiming at entering the starting port 15.

  -In the said embodiment, you may make multiple types of small hits. In this case, for example, the type of the small hit may be determined by determining the small hit symbol based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. Depending on the type of the small hit, the big winning openings 21 and 22 that are in the open state may be different, or the time and number of times that the big winning openings 21 and 22 are in the open state may be different. If the number of types of small hits is increased in this way, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to what kind of small hit game based on the small hits when the small hit game is generated.

  -In the said embodiment, the variation pattern table referred when performing a 1st special symbol variation game may be one type. For example, when the first special symbol variation game is performed, only the eleventh variation pattern table HT11 may be referred to.

  In the above embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is performed in the second state, the first special symbol variation game is compared with the first state as in the case where the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to. You may comprise so that fluctuation time may become long significantly. In this case, when the first special symbol variation game is performed in the second state, the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 may be referred to, or a variation pattern different from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21. You may comprise so that a table may be referred.

  -In the 2nd state of the said embodiment, the variation pattern table referred when performing a 2nd special symbol variation game may be one type. For example, when the second special symbol variation game is performed in the second state, only the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 may be referred to. In this case, when the second special symbol variation game is performed, the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to in the first state, and the twenty-fourth variation pattern table HT24 is referred to in the second state. .

  -In the 1st state of the said embodiment, it is good also considering a variation pattern table referred when performing a 2nd special symbol variation game as multiple types. For example, when the second special symbol variation game is performed in the first state, a variation pattern table (for example, a twenty-fifth variation) different from the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to when the twenty-first variation pattern table HT21 is referred to. There may be a case where there is a case where the (pattern table) is referred to.

In the above embodiment, the probability of winning the big hit lottery and the probability of winning the big hit lottery such as the first small hit lottery or the second small hit lottery may be changed.
-In each variation pattern table of the said embodiment, you may vary all the variation patterns defined as a determinable variation pattern. Further, the variation patterns that can be determined in each variation pattern table may be the same, and the determination rate of each variation pattern may be different.

-You may embody the said embodiment in the game machine in which a probability change state does not arise.
In the above embodiment, when either the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game is won, the other is temporarily stopped without forcibly ending, and is temporarily stopped after the winning game is ended. You may comprise so that the symbol variation game which had been restarted may be resumed. Even in the case of such a configuration, it is possible to suppress overlap of winning games due to each symbol variation game.

  The above embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that uses only a special symbol out of a special symbol and a decorative symbol. In this case, for example, a special symbol variation game may be performed in the effect display device 14.

  In the above embodiment, the effect display device 14, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP may be controlled by dedicated CPUs. At this time, each CPU may be provided on a single control board, or may be provided on a different control board. Further, along with the provision of each CPU, a ROM or a RAM managed by each CPU may be provided.
