Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine.

  In recent years, two types of big winning holes, a normal attacker and a V-attacker with a specific area, have been established, and the V-attacker is released in the final round of the big hit game. 2. Description of the Related Art A ball game machine that shifts to a certain change state is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  It is also conceivable that such a ball game machine is modified to have only one V attacker or two V attackers. In such a case, it is possible to allow entry into a specific area only in a specific round in the big hit game and make it impossible to enter a specific area in other rounds.

  In such a ball game machine, the game ball entered in the V-attacker is guided to, for example, a croon, and the course of the game ball is divided into a specific area and another area by the croon, thereby making it possible for the player to enjoy the game. It is also possible to not.

JP 2012-245173 A

  However, when the above-described croon is provided, there is a possibility that the game ball may remain inside the big winning opening even after the round ends. If such a remaining ball occurs at the start of a specific round, the remaining ball may enter a specific area during the specific round, or the remaining ball may affect the behavior of a newly won game ball. There is sex. As a result, the probability that the game ball enters the specific area in the specific round may be different from the design value.

Here, it is considered that if a sufficient interval between rounds is ensured, the remaining balls will not be generated. However, this may cause the big hit game to be extended and the interest of the game to be lowered.
An object of the present invention is to prevent an adverse effect due to a remaining ball from occurring while suppressing an extension of a big hit game.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above-described problems includes a determination unit for determining whether or not the game is correct due to a ball entering the starting port, and a normal round and a specific round when the result of the determination is successful. The jackpot game means for executing the jackpot game that opens the jackpot in each round, and the path of the game ball that has reached the allocation area after entering the jackpot, in the bonus area and the lost area Allocating the game ball to either the bonus area or the losing area, and assigning all the game balls that have entered the big winning opening to the discharge area in the normal round In the round, all the game balls are allowed to enter the distribution area, or the means for restricting the game balls to enter either the distribution area or the discharge area; , The loss area and the discharge area And a means for detecting a remaining ball that is a game ball that has not entered any of the above, and a bonus is given to the player after the end of the big hit game due to the game ball entering the privilege area The jackpot gaming means does not perform a specific round as the next round of the specific round during the jackpot game, starts the round at a predetermined timing, and the start timing of the specific round is The present invention relates to a ball game machine characterized in that, when a remaining ball is detected by the detecting means when it arrives, a specific round is started after the remaining ball is no longer detected by the detecting means.

According to such a configuration, since the start of the round is not delayed except when there is a remaining ball at the start of the specific round, it is possible to prevent the delay of the big hit game.
In addition, the game ball does not enter the privilege area in the normal round, and the remaining ball does not enter the privilege area under the situation where only the normal round is continuously performed. On the other hand, if there is a remaining sphere at the start of the specific round, the specific round is delayed, and the specific round is started after there is no remaining sphere.

  For this reason, even if the game ball entered in the normal round becomes a remaining ball, the remaining ball enters the privilege area in a later round, or other games that have entered the big prize opening in a later specific round It does not affect the behavior of the sphere. Therefore, only the game balls that have entered the special winning opening in the specific round can enter the privilege area with a predetermined probability, and the privilege can be given to the player with the probability intended at the time of design.

  Furthermore, since the specific round does not occur continuously, the round immediately before the specific round is always the normal round. For this reason, the possibility that the remaining sphere is generated at the start of the specific round is reduced, and the delay of the specific round can be suppressed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect due to the remaining ball from occurring while suppressing the extension of the big hit game.
In addition, the invention according to claim 2 is configured by a determination unit for determining whether or not the result is due to a ball entering the starting port, and a normal round and a specific round when the result is determined to be a hit. After hitting the jackpot game means for executing the jackpot game that opens the first jackpot or the second jackpot in the first round and the first jackpot or the second jackpot, the player reaches the allocation area. The distribution path of the game ball is assigned to either the privilege area or the loss area, and the distribution means for entering the game ball into the privilege area or the loss area, and during the big hit game, in the normal round, All game balls that have entered the two major winning entrances enter the discharge area, and in the specific round, all of the game balls enter the distribution area, or the game balls are either the distribution area or the discharge area. And the first big prize opening Is a means for detecting a remaining ball that is a game ball that has not entered any of the privilege area, the loss area, and the discharge area after entering the second grand prize opening, and the game ball is a privilege And a granting means for granting a privilege to the player after the jackpot game is ended, and the jackpot game means performs a specific round as the next round of the specific round during the jackpot game. The round starts at a predetermined timing, and if the remaining sphere is detected by the detecting means when the start timing of the specific round arrives, the remaining sphere is not detected by the detecting means. The present invention relates to a ball game machine characterized by starting a specific round after a while.

According to such a configuration, since the start of the round is not delayed except when there is a remaining ball at the start of the specific round, it is possible to prevent the delay of the big hit game.
In addition, the game ball does not enter the privilege area in the normal round, and the remaining ball does not enter the privilege area under the situation where only the normal round is continuously performed. On the other hand, if there is a remaining sphere at the start of the specific round, the specific round is delayed, and the specific round is started after there is no remaining sphere.

  For this reason, even if the game ball entered in the normal round becomes a remaining ball, the remaining ball enters the privilege area in a later round, or other games that have entered the big prize opening in a later specific round It does not affect the behavior of the sphere. Therefore, only the game balls that have entered the special winning opening in the specific round can enter the privilege area with a predetermined probability, and the privilege can be given to the player with the probability intended at the time of design.

  Furthermore, since the specific round does not occur continuously, the round immediately before the specific round is always the normal round. For this reason, the possibility that the remaining sphere is generated at the start of the specific round is reduced, and the delay of the specific round can be suppressed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect due to the remaining ball from occurring while suppressing the extension of the big hit game.
In addition, as described in claim 3, the detection means further includes whether the remaining ball has entered the grand prize winning opening in a specific round, and the first big winning prize opening and the second big winning prize opening. The jackpot gaming means determines when the specific round has started, and when the start timing of the specific round arrives, the detection means makes a specific round performed before the specific round by the detecting means. In the case where a remaining ball that has entered the same big winning opening as the opened big winning opening is detected, the specific round may be started after the remaining ball is no longer detected by the detecting means.

  If there are two big prize openings, and there is a remaining ball at the big prize opening different from the big prize opening opened at the specific round at the start of the specific round, It is possible to suppress adverse effects due to the remaining spheres. Further, even if a residual sphere is generated in the normal round, the residual sphere does not enter the sorting area, and therefore, there is a low possibility that the residual sphere will have an adverse effect in the specific round.

  On the other hand, according to the invention described in claim 3, even if a remaining ball is generated at the start of a specific round, the remaining ball is generated in a big winning opening different from the big winning opening opened in the specific round. In the case where it is generated or occurred in the normal round performed earlier, the specific round is not delayed. For this reason, the start of the specific round is not delayed more than necessary, and it is possible to prevent the delay of the big hit game.

  Further, as described in claim 4, the privilege area includes a game ball that has reached the allocation area after entering the first grand prize opening, and a game area that has entered the second grand prize opening, It may be configured as an area where both of the game balls that have reached the minute area can be reached.

By doing so, the configuration of the ball game machine can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.
In addition, as described in claim 5, the probability that the distribution means distributes the game balls that have entered the first grand prize opening to the privilege area, and the game balls that have entered the second grand prize opening are assigned to the privilege area. The probability of allocating to may be different.

  By doing so, the probability that a privilege is given is different between the case of entering the first grand prize opening and the case of entering the second big prize opening. For this reason, the player can enjoy two types of distribution with different probabilities of giving a privilege during the big hit game. In addition, for example, by adjusting the opening time of each big winning opening, it is possible to provide two types of big hit games with different probabilities of giving a privilege.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the jackpot gaming means includes a long opening in which a big winning opening is opened for a long period of time so that it is easy to enter the big winning opening, You may open | release in any one aspect of the short open | released over a short period of time which makes it difficult or impossible to enter a big winning opening.

  This makes it possible to adjust the probability that a privilege is awarded in a big hit game by adjusting the number of prize balls given in the big hit game or by making the specific round long or short. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the profit given to the player more flexibly.

(1) About outline Next, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 in 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.

  The pachinko machine 50 has a probability changing function for increasing the winning probability in the big lottery, and increases the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery, and increases the opening time of the second starting port 12 when winning in the normal symbol lottery. An open extension function (shortening function) that facilitates entry into the second start port 12 is provided by a method such as shortening the variable display time on the normal symbol display device 7 when the symbol lottery is performed. .

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, when the big hit lottery is won, a big hit game with a total round number of 15R is performed. In each round, the big prize opening 20 is opened in a long or short opening mode. In the case of long, the big prize opening 20 is opened over a long period of time so that winning becomes easy. In addition, in the case of long, opening and closing of the big prize opening 20 may be repeated several times, making it easy to win the big prize opening 20. On the other hand, in the case of a short, the big prize opening 20 is opened for a short period of time that makes it very difficult (or substantially impossible) to win. Even in the case of a short, the opening / closing of the large winning opening 20 may be repeated a plurality of times while making it difficult (or substantially impossible) to win the large winning opening 20. In the case of a short circuit, the special winning opening 20 may be completely closed.

  The jackpot game has two types of rounds, a specific round and a normal round. Two non-consecutive rounds (for example, 10, 15R) are specific rounds, and the other rounds are regular rounds. It has become. Of course, two other non-consecutive rounds may be specified rounds, or one round or three or more non-consecutive rounds may be specified rounds.

  In the specific round, the state in which the shutter 15 is opened (open state) is maintained, and the game ball that has won the big prize opening 20 can enter the croon 14. In addition, it is also possible to allow a game ball that has won a prize winning opening 20 to enter the croon 14 while repeatedly opening and closing the shutter 15 during the open state. And if a game ball enters into the probability changing port 13, as a privilege, a probability change or time reduction is given after the big hit game.

  On the other hand, in the normal round, the state in which the shutter 15 is closed (closed state) is maintained, and the game ball that has won the big winning opening 20 cannot enter the croon 14, so that the probability changing opening 13 does not enter. .

  In the first embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpot games having different opening modes for each round are provided, and the type of jackpot game is determined by the winning symbol. In other words, depending on the winning symbol, the number of long and specific rounds and normal rounds changes, and the number of winning balls that can be obtained in the big hit game and the probability that a privilege is granted will change.

  Also, as the types of jackpot games, two specific rounds (10, 15R) are both long, both are short, 10R is long, 15R is short, 10R is short and 15R is short What is long may be provided.

  In addition to this, a type of jackpot game with a different total number of rounds may be provided so that the number of rounds of the jackpot game varies depending on the winning symbol. Further, the number of rounds to be a specific round, the number of rounds to be a specific round, and the like may be determined according to the winning symbol.

Further, in the first embodiment, the profit in the case of winning the big hit lottery corresponding to the second special figure is larger than the profit in the case of winning the big hit lottery corresponding to the first special figure.
Specifically, in the jackpot game when hit with the second special figure, the average value of the number of rounds of the normal round that is long may be larger than when hit with the first special figure, You may make it the average value of the number of rounds of the specific round which becomes long increase. Thereby, when hit with the second special figure, the average value of the number of prize balls obtained in the big hit game or the probability of giving a bonus becomes higher than when hit with the first special figure. Or

  In addition, when the player hits the probability change hole 13 in the jackpot game when hit with the second special figure, the ball enters the probability change mouth 13 with the jackpot game when hit in the first special figure. You may make it give a bigger privilege. Specifically, for example, in the case of hitting with the second special figure, compared with the case of hitting with the first special figure, the probability change or the shorter duration is increased or the probability that the duration is longer is increased. You may do it. In addition, for example, when the second special figure is hit, there is a high probability that the certainty and time reduction are given as the privilege, but when the first special figure is hit, only the certainty change (or only the short time) is given as the privilege. It may be such that there is a high probability that it will not be granted.

  Of course, in the same way, the profit when winning the jackpot lottery corresponding to the first special figure may be larger than the profit when winning the jackpot lottery corresponding to the second special figure, or these profits. May be similar.

Below, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 is demonstrated in detail.
(2) Main Routine Next, a main routine in the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms.

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

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

  Then, the main control device 80 performs a winning confirmation process for detecting the winning of a game ball to a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), and a determination process for determining whether or not to win a lottery due to winning at the starting opening (S55). ), A big hit game process (S60) for performing a big hit game that gives a predetermined game value to the player when winning the big hit lottery. In addition, a normal drawing determination process for performing a general drawing lottery or the like due to the passing of the game ball through the general gate 22 (S65), and opening the ordinary electric accessory (second start port 12) General game processing (S67), fraud monitoring processing for detecting a player's fraud (S70), data and commands are sent to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc., and various information is sent to the hall computer 87, etc. (S75) is performed with each output process for transmitting.

In S80, main controller 80 repeatedly updates the initial value random number until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.

It demonstrates using the flowchart of these. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main control device 80 determines whether or not a winning of a game ball to the first starting port 11 has occurred based on the detection signal of the first starting port SW11a. If the determination is affirmative (S100: Yes), the process proceeds to S105. If the determination is negative (S100: No), the process proceeds to S115.

  In S105, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories (first reserved memory) for the first special figure corresponding to the first start port 11 has reached the maximum value (4 as an example). To do. If the determination is affirmative (S105: Yes), the process proceeds to S110. If the determination is negative (S105: No), the process proceeds to S115.

  In S110, the main controller 80 determines a big hit determining random number used for the big hit lottery, a big hit symbol determining random number for determining the winning symbol, and a reach determination random number for determining whether or not the symbol effect is reached. Or, a random number for determining a variation pattern for determining a variation time or the like of a special symbol is extracted. Then, the extracted random number is stored as the first hold memory, and a first hold number command indicating how many first hold memories are generated is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S115. Transition.

The main control device 80 may perform prefetching based on the jackpot determination random number related to the first reserved storage and transmit the prefetching result to the sub integrated control device 83.
In S115, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball win has occurred in the second starter 12 based on the detection signal of the second starter SW12a. If the determination is affirmative (S115: Yes), the process proceeds to S120. If the determination is negative (S115: No), the process ends.

  In S120, main controller 80 determines whether the number of reserved memories (second reserved memory) for the second special map corresponding to second start port 12 has reached the maximum value (4 as an example). To do. If the determination is affirmative (S120: Yes), the process ends. If the determination is negative (S120: No), the process proceeds to S125.

  In S125, main controller 80 determines a big hit determining random number used for the big hit lottery, a big hit symbol determining random number for determining the winning symbol, or a reach determination random number for determining whether or not the symbol effect is reached. Or, a random number for determining a variation pattern for determining a variation time or the like of a special symbol is extracted. Then, the extracted random number is stored as the second hold memory, and a second hold number command indicating how many second hold memories are generated is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and this process is terminated. To do.

The main controller 80 may perform prefetching based on the jackpot determination random number related to the second reserved storage and transmit the prefetching result to the sub integrated control device 83.
(4) About the success / failure determination process Next, regarding the success / failure determination process for determining whether or not the winner has been won by the jackpot determination random number related to the hold storage, the determination of whether or not the winner has won (hit lottery lottery) is performed using the flowcharts of FIGS. I will explain. This process is executed from the main routine.

  First, with reference to FIG. 8, in S200, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S200: Yes), the process ends. If the determination is negative (S200: No), the process proceeds to S205.

  In S205, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S205: Yes), the process proceeds to S280 in FIG. 10, and if the determination is negative (S205: No), the process proceeds to S210.

  In S210, main controller 80 determines whether or not the final display of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S210: Yes), the process proceeds to S290 in FIG. 11. If the determination is negative (S210: No), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG.

If any one of the reserved memories exists (S215: Yes), the process proceeds to S220. If this is not the case (S215: No), this process ends.

  In S220, main controller 80 selects the earliest reserved memory among the first and second reserved memories existing at the present time, and decrements the number of reserved memories corresponding to the type of the selected reserved memory, The process proceeds to S225. In addition, when the 1st and 2nd reservation memory exists, it is good also as a structure (structure which preferentially digests 2nd reservation memory) which selects in order from the thing which arises first among 2nd reservation memories, It is good also as a structure (structure which preferentially digests 1st pending | holding memory | storage) which selects in order from the thing which arises first among 1st pending | holding memory | storage.

  In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not a probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is set. If the determination is affirmative (S225: Yes), the process proceeds to S230 and the result is negative. In the case of determination (S225: No), the process proceeds to S235.

  In S230, main controller 80 determines whether or not to win the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot determination random number related to the selected hold storage and the determination table (probability change table) corresponding to the probability change state. Digest reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S240.

In the subsequent S255, the main control device 80 determines the contents of the big hit game, the contents of the bonus, etc. based on the type of the winning symbol, and shifts the processing to S270. Note that the contents of the big hit game include, for example, how many rounds are designated as specific rounds, an open mode of the big winning opening 20 in each round, and the like.

  On the other hand, in S260, which is shifted to when winning out of the big hit lottery, the main control device 80 determines the variation time of the special symbol based on the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, and the like related to the digested hold memory, and S265. The process is transferred to.

  In S265, the main controller 80 updates the counter indicating the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the probability change state (number of times of probability change) and the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed in the time-short state (number of times reduced). Then, the process proceeds to S270.

  In S270, the main controller 80 instructs the sub-integrated controller 83 to execute a first hold number command indicating the number of first hold memories after the big hit lottery and a second hold number indicating the number of second hold memories after the big win lottery. Send pending number command. In addition, the display of the special symbol corresponding to the digested hold memory is started, and the symbol effect is started by transmitting a variation start command indicating the variation time of the special symbol to the sub integrated control device 83. Further, a symbol designating command is sent to the sub-integrated control device 83 to instruct an effect symbol to be stopped and displayed (in the case of a big hit, an effect symbol corresponding to the winning symbol), and this process ends.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 10, in S280 that shifts during the fluctuation display of the first special figure or the second special figure, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the special figure has passed, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S280: Yes), the process proceeds to S285, and in the case of a negative determination (S280: No), this process ends.

  When the first opening / closing port is open, for example, the first discharge port 25 is closed, so that all the game balls won in the first big winning port 20 enter the first opening / closing port. Anyway. When the second opening / closing port is opened, for example, the second discharge port 26 is closed so that all the game balls won in the second large winning port 21 enter the second opening / closing port. Anyway.

  A common probability changing port 29 is provided inside the game board 1 below the first and second grand prize winning ports 20 and 21, and the first and second croons 14 and 18 are provided with the first and second prizes. The game balls that have entered the second hitting openings 14 c and 18 b are guided to the common probability changing opening 29. When a game ball enters the common probability opening 29, a privilege is granted in the same manner as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the game balls that have entered the first and second lose ports 14 a, 14 b, 18 a are not guided to the common probability changing port 29.

  In the second embodiment, the game ball that has reached the second croon 18 enters the common probability changing opening 29 with a higher probability than the first croon 14, but the present invention is not limited to this. The game ball that has arrived may enter the common probability opening 29 with a higher probability. In addition, the game ball that has reached the first croon 14 and the game ball that has reached the second croon 18 may enter the common probability variation opening 29 with the same probability. In addition, a game ball that has reached one of the croons may enter the common probability variation opening 29 with a probability of 100% (or a probability close thereto).

  Moreover, the part in which the first and second croons 14 and 18 and the common probability changing opening 29 described above in the game area 3 are formed by a transparent member so that the player can visually recognize them. On the contrary, the portion in the game area 3 may be configured by an opaque member so that the player cannot see them.

  In addition, using a half mirror, it is usually not visible, but when a game ball wins a prize opening, the part becomes visible, and conversely, when a game ball wins a prize hall, the part becomes invisible. It can be considered.

(2) Electrical configuration Next, an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment will be described (see FIG. 18). The pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but differs in the following points.

  In the second embodiment, instead of the count SW 20a, a first count SW 20a for counting game balls won in the first grand prize opening 20, and a game ball won in the second big prize slot 21 are counted. A second count SW 21a is provided. Further, in place of the probability variation SW 13a, a common probability variation SW 29a for detecting a game ball that has entered the common probability variation port 29 is provided.

  In addition, instead of the lose mouth SW14a-1, the first lose mouth SW14a-1 for detecting a game ball that has entered the first lose mouth 14a, 14b of the first crew 14, and the second lose mouth of the second crew 18 A second losing port SW18a-1 for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball 18a is provided. Further, instead of the discharge port SW16d-1, a first discharge port SW25a for detecting a game ball that has entered the first discharge port 25 of the first grand prize port 20, and a second discharge port of the second grand prize port 21. A second discharge port SW 26 a for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball 26 is provided.

The main controller 80 receives detection signals from these SWs.
Further, in place of the big prize opening solenoid 20b, a first big prize opening solenoid 20b for opening and closing the first big prize opening 20 and a second big prize opening solenoid 21b for opening and closing the second big prize opening 21 are provided. . The main controller 80 controls the solenoids to open and close the first and second grand prize winning ports 20 and 21.

  Further, instead of the shutter solenoid 15a, a first shutter solenoid 15a for operating the first shutter 15 and a second shutter solenoid 17a for operating the second shutter 17 are provided. The main control device 80 opens and closes the entrances (first and second opening / closing ports) of the passages to the first and second crews 14 and 18 by controlling these solenoids.

[Description of operation]
(1) Outline The pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment operates in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and a big hit game with a total number of rounds of 15R is performed when a big win lottery is won. However, the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment includes two big winning openings, and some aspects of the big hit game are different from the first embodiment. Hereinafter, this difference will be described.

  Specifically, in the big hit game, one of the first and second big prize winning openings 20 and 21 is opened in a long or short opening manner as in the first embodiment. In addition, it is good also as a structure which open | releases both the 1st, 2nd big prize winning openings 20, 21 in each round.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, there are provided two types of rounds: a specific round in which a game ball can enter the croon and a normal round in which the entry is impossible. When a game ball that has entered the Kroon enters the winning entrance and enters the common probability changing entrance 29, a bonus (probability or time reduction) is given after the big hit game. Hereinafter, the specific round in which the first grand prize opening 20 is opened is referred to as a first V round, and the specific round in which the second big prize opening 21 is opened is referred to as a second V round.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, two consecutive rounds (10, 15R as an example) are specific rounds, and the other rounds are normal rounds. Of course, two other non-consecutive rounds may be specified rounds, or one round or three or more non-consecutive rounds may be specified rounds.

  Also, as in the first embodiment, a plurality of types of big hit games with different open modes (long and short) of each round are provided. Of course, in addition to this, types of jackpot games in which the total number of rounds, the total number of specific rounds, the rounds that become specific rounds, and the like are different may be provided.

  Further, in the second embodiment, there are provided a plurality of types of big hit games that are different in the opening manner when the big winning opening is opened in each round and the opening when the big winning opening is opened. In other words, each type of jackpot game can be acquired according to the type of jackpot game, since the number of specific rounds that are long, the number of normal rounds, and the types of jackpots that are opened in a specific round are different. The number of prize balls and the probability that a privilege will be granted change. The type of jackpot game is determined by the winning symbol.

  In addition, as the types of jackpot games, two specific rounds (10, 15R) are both long, those are both short, 10R is long, 15R is short, and 10R is short. What has long 15R may be provided.

  Also, a big hit game in which the big winning opening opened in a specific round and the big winning opening opened in the round immediately before the specific round may be provided, or a non-identical big hit game is provided. May be.

(2) About jackpot game processing Next, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated in detail. In the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment, the same processing as that of the first embodiment is performed, but the big hit game processing is different from that of the first embodiment. The jackpot game process of the second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  In S700, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S700: Yes), the process proceeds to S705, and if the determination is negative ( S700: No), this process ends.

  In S705, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a round in which the second grand prize winning opening 21 is opened is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S705: Yes), the process proceeds to S745 in FIG. If the determination is negative (S705: No), the process proceeds to S710.

  In S710, the main control device 80 determines whether or not a round in which the first grand prize winning opening 20 is opened is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S710: Yes), the process proceeds to S785 in FIG. When the determination is negative (S710: No), the process proceeds to S715.

  In S715, the main control device 80 determines whether or not it is during each round interval. If the determination is affirmative (S715: Yes), the process proceeds to S822 in FIG. 21 and the determination is negative. (S715: No), the process proceeds to S720.

  In S720, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the big hit game is being ended. If the determination is affirmative (S720: Yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. In the case (S720: No), the process proceeds to S725.

  In S725, main controller 80 determines whether or not the presentation time of the big hit start effect has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S725: Yes), the process proceeds to S730, and if the determination is negative. (S725: No), this process ends.

  In S730, the main control device 80 opens one of the first and second big winning holes 20, 21 in an opening manner according to the contents of the previously determined big hit game (the first round of the big hit game is played). The start-up winning prize opening process is executed, and an opening counter indicating the number of rounds is incremented (S740), and this process ends.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 20, in S745, during the execution of the round in which the second big prize opening 21 is opened, the main control device 80 performs opening / closing control of the second big prize opening 21 according to the current round opening mode. . In addition, by controlling the second shutter 17 in a manner corresponding to the type of the current round, when the current round is a specific round (second V round), the second shutter 17 is opened and the normal round is performed. If there is, the second shutter 17 is closed, and the process proceeds to S750.

  In S750, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a ball has entered the common probability changing port 29 based on a signal from the common probability changing port SW29a. If the determination is affirmative (S750: Yes), the process proceeds to S755. If the determination is negative (S750: No), the process proceeds to S760.

  In S755, main controller 80 sets the second probability variation entrance ball flag, and proceeds to S760. At this time, the main controller 80 transmits a command indicating that a ball has entered the common probability changing opening 29 to the sub integrated controller 83.

  In S760, the main controller 80 counts the number of game balls (winning number) won in the second big winning opening 21 during the current round based on the signal from the second count SW 21a. In addition, based on signals from the common probability changing port SW29a, the second loss opening SW18a-1, and the second discharge port SW26a, the ball enters the common probability changing port 29, the second loss opening 18a, and the second discharge port 26 during the current round. The second number of discharged balls (the number of game balls discharged to the outside from the second large winning opening 21 after winning the second large winning opening 21), which is the number of game balls played, is counted, and the process proceeds to S765. .

  In S765, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of game balls won in the second grand prize opening 21 has become ten. If the determination is affirmative (S765: Yes), the process proceeds to S770. If the determination is negative (S765: No), the process proceeds to S775.

  In S770, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of the second big prize opening 21 has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S770: Yes), the process proceeds to S775 and a negative determination is made. In the case of (S770: No), this process is terminated.

In S775, the main controller 80 executes a second grand prize opening closing process for closing the second big prize opening 21, and the process proceeds to S780.
In S780, the main controller 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval for each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  On the other hand, in S785, which proceeds during the execution of the round in which the first grand prize opening 20 is opened, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing of the first big prize opening 20 according to the current round opening mode. In addition, by controlling the first shutter 15 in a manner according to the type of the current round, when the current round is a specific round (first V round), the first shutter 15 is opened and the normal round is performed. If there is, the first shutter 15 is closed, and the process proceeds to S790.

  In S790, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a ball has entered the common probability variation opening 29. If the determination is affirmative, the first probability variation entry ball flag is set (S795), and the process proceeds to S800. To migrate.

  In S800, based on the signal from the first count SW 20a, the main control device 80 counts the number of game balls (winning number) that won the first big prize opening 20 during the current round. Further, based on signals from the common probability changing port SW29a, the first loss opening SW14a-1, and the first discharge port SW25a, the common probability changing port 29, the first loss opening 14a, 14b, and the first discharge port 25 are displayed during the current round. The number of game balls that have been entered is counted as the first number of discharges (the number of game balls that have been discharged to the outside from the first big prize opening 20 after winning the first big prize opening 20), and the process proceeds to S805. Transition.

  In S805, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of game balls won in the first grand prize opening 20 has become ten. If the determination is affirmative (S805: Yes), the process proceeds to S815. If the determination is negative (S805: No), the process proceeds to S810.

  In S810, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of the first grand prize opening 20 has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S810: Yes), the process proceeds to S815 and a negative determination is made. In the case of (S810: No), this process is terminated.

In S815, the main controller 80 executes a first big prize opening closing process for closing the first big prize opening 20, and the process proceeds to S820.
In S820, main controller 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval for each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 21, in S822 that shifts during the interval of each round, the main controller 80 counts the remaining balls based on the number of winnings and the first and second number of discharges in each round. The remaining ball means that after winning the first grand prize opening 20, the inside of the first big prize opening 20 (for example, the first croon 14, the passage to the first croon 14, the first big prize opening 20 Game balls that remain on the bottom, etc., and after winning the second grand prize opening 21, the inside of the second big prize opening 21 (for example, the second croon 18, the passage to the second croon 18, , A game ball that remains at the bottom of the second big winning opening 21 and the like. In addition, when a ball enters the common probability changing port 29, the first and second loss ports 14a, 14b, 18a, and the first and second discharge ports 25, 26, it is considered that the remaining balls are discharged. The number of remaining spheres is updated, and the process proceeds to S825.

  In S825, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a ball has entered the common probability changing port 29 based on a signal from the common probability changing port SW29a. If the determination is affirmative (S825: Yes), the process proceeds to S830. If the determination is negative (S825: No), the process proceeds to S835.

  In S830, the main controller 80 identifies the round in which the remaining balls are generated based on the winning numbers and the first and second discharged numbers of each completed round. If the round is the first V round, the first probability variation entrance ball flag is set, and if the round is the second V round, the second probability variation entrance flag is set, and the process proceeds to S835. At this time, the main controller 80 transmits a command indicating that a ball has entered the common probability changing opening 29 to the sub integrated controller 83.

  In S835, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the final round (15R) has ended based on the value of the release counter. If the determination is affirmative (S835: Yes), the process proceeds to S840, If the determination is negative (S835: No), the process proceeds to S855.

  In S840, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is a remaining sphere. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S840: Yes), the present process is terminated and a negative determination is obtained. (S840: No), the process proceeds to S845.

In S845, the main controller 80 executes the jackpot end effect process in the same manner as in the first embodiment, clears the release counter (S850), and ends the process.
On the other hand, in S855, main controller 80 determines whether or not the interval time of the big hit game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S855: Yes), the process proceeds to S860 and the determination is negative. (S855: No), this process is terminated.

  In S860, main controller 80 determines whether or not the next round is a specific round. If the determination is affirmative (S860: Yes), the process proceeds to S870, and if the determination is negative. (S860: No), the process proceeds to S875.

  In S870, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is a remaining sphere, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S870: Yes), this process ends and a negative determination is obtained. (S870: No), the process proceeds to S875.

  In S875, the main control device 80 determines whether or not to open the first big prize opening 20 in a new round. If the determination is affirmative (S875: Yes), the process proceeds to S880 and the determination is negative. In the case of determination (S875: No), the process proceeds to S890.

  In S880, the main controller 80 executes the first big prize opening release process for opening the first big prize opening 20, and increments the release counter indicating the number of rounds (S885), and ends this process.

  On the other hand, in S890, the main controller 80 executes the second big prize opening release process for opening the second big prize opening 21, and increments the release counter indicating the number of rounds (S895), and ends this process. .

Subsequently, regarding FIG. 22, S900 to S910 are the same as S630 to S640 of the first embodiment, respectively, and thus description thereof is omitted.
In S915, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first probability change entrance ball flag is set. If the determination is affirmative (S915: Yes), the process proceeds to S920 and a negative determination is made. In the case (S915: No), the process proceeds to S935.

  In S920, the main controller 80 sets the number of probability changes and the number of time reductions based on the type of special figure that has been won, the ball having entered the common probability variation port 29 in the first V round, the winning symbol, etc. At the same time, a probability variation flag and a time reduction flag are set (S925). Then, the first probability variation entrance flag is cleared (S930), and the process proceeds to S965.

  On the other hand, in S935, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the second probability variation entrance ball flag is set. If the determination is affirmative (S935: Yes), the process proceeds to S940 and the determination is negative. In the case of determination (S935: No), the process proceeds to S955.

  In S940, the main control device 80 sets the number of probability changes and the number of time reductions based on the type of special figure that was won, the ball entering the common probability variation opening 29 in the second V round, the winning symbol, etc. In addition, a probability variation flag and a time reduction flag are set (S945). Then, the second probability changing entrance flag is cleared (S950), and the process proceeds to S965.

In S955, the main controller 80 sets the probability variation count and the time reduction count to 0, clears the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag (S960), and shifts the processing to S965.
In S965 and S970, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a jackpot end command for ending the effect related to the jackpot game and a state designation command for notifying the game state after the jackpot game ends. End the process.

[Modification 1]
Next, the modification 1 of the pachinko machine 50 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. In the first variation, a jackpot game in which 10R is a long first V round, 15R is a long second V round, and a jackpot game in which 10R is a long first V round and 15R is a short second V round is provided. It has been. Of course, these types of jackpot games are played according to the winning symbol.

  By doing so, if 10R becomes the long 1st V round, 10R is more difficult to get benefits than the long 2nd V round, but if 15R becomes the short 2nd V round, 10R It is difficult or impossible to obtain a privilege unless the player enters the common probability opening 29. For this reason, the player comes to digest 10R while wishing to obtain a privilege, and can give the player a thrill, a sense of tension, and the like.

  Even if the privilege cannot be acquired at 10R, if 15R is a long second V round, the privilege can be acquired at 15R more easily than the first V round. For this reason, a player who has failed to obtain a privilege in the first V round and is disappointed can extend a helping hand in the second V round to please the player.

Therefore, the interest of the big hit game can be enhanced.
In such a case, the opening mode of the second V round may be determined depending on whether or not a privilege is granted in the first V round.

  Specifically, for example, the second V round may be made long when a privilege cannot be acquired in the first V round, and may be made short if not. As a result, it is possible to rescue the player who could not obtain the privilege in the first V round, and when the privilege was acquired in the first V round, the number of prize balls is suppressed and the profit given to the player is adjusted. can do.

  Further, for example, the second V round may be made long when a privilege can be acquired in the first V round, and may be made short if not. By doing so, a prize ball can be given to the player as a reward for obtaining a privilege in the first V round.

  Further, the content of the privilege may be changed depending on which of the first and second V rounds has entered the common probability changing opening 29. In addition, when the entrance to the common probability variation opening 29 has occurred in both rounds, it may be considered that the entry to the common probability variation entrance 29 has occurred in only one of the rounds.

By doing so, it is possible to select which of the first and second V rounds the privilege is to be obtained, and the player can enter the game with a strategy.
Specifically, when a ball enters the common probability variation opening 29 in the first V round, the probability variation and the shorter duration may be made longer than when the ball occurs in the second V round. . In addition, when the entry occurs in the first V round, both probability change and time reduction are given, but when the entry occurs in the second V round, only one of probability change and time reduction is given. It is good also as a structure which is not performed.

  In this way, if the entry occurs in the first V round, where it is more difficult to enter the common probability opening 29 than the second V round, the player is given a more advantageous privilege and rewards the player. Can do.

  On the other hand, when a ball enters the common probability variation opening 29 in the second V round, the probability variation or shorter duration may be longer than in the case where the ball enters in the first V round. In addition, when the ball enters in the second V round, both probability change and time reduction are given, but when the ball enters in the first V round, only one of probability change and time reduction is given. It is good also as a structure which is not performed.

In this way, when 15R is a long second V-round, it is possible to give a great joy to the player.
[Modification 2]
Also, in the second variation of the second embodiment, 10R is a long second V round, 15R is a long first V round, 10R is a short second V round, 15R is a long first V round, and 15R is a long first V round. And a big hit game. Of course, these types of jackpot games are played according to the winning symbol.

  By doing so, the player is discouraged when 10R is a short second V round, but 15R may be a long first V round. The long first V-round has a lower probability of acquiring a privilege than the long second V-round, but the possibility of acquiring a privilege remains sufficiently. For this reason, while suppressing a disappointment of a player, a player comes to play a big hit game without giving up acquisition of a privilege, and can heighten the interest of a big hit game.

  Further, in the same manner as in the first modification, the content of the privilege may be changed depending on whether the first or second V-round has entered the common probability changing opening 29. In addition, when the entrance to the common probability variation opening 29 has occurred in both rounds, it may be considered that the entry to the common probability variation entrance 29 has occurred in only one of the rounds. By doing this, it is possible to select which of the first and second V rounds the privilege is to be acquired, and the player can face the game with a strategy.

[Modification 3]
Moreover, in the modification 3 of 2nd Embodiment, it replaces with the common probability variation opening | mouth 29 connected to each of the 1st, 2nd big winning opening 20,21, and the 1st certain variation connected to the 1st large winning opening 20. A mouth 13 and a second probability changing mouth 19 connected to the second grand prize winning mouth 21 are provided (FIGS. 23 and 24).

  Specifically, the first probability variation opening 13 is connected to the first winning opening 14c of the first croon 14 connected to the first big winning opening 20, and the game ball that has entered the first winning opening 14c is: Be sure to enter the first probability opening 13. In addition, the second probability opening 19 is connected to the second winning opening 18b of the second croon 18 connected to the second big winning opening 21, and the game ball entering the second winning opening 18b is always the second winning opening. Enter the probable opening 19.

  Then, during the big hit game, when entering the first probability variation opening 13, the first probability variation entrance flag is set, and when entering the second probability variation slot 19, the second probability variation entrance flag is set, Benefits are granted in the same manner as in the embodiment.

  In the third modification, a probability variation opening is individually provided for each big winning opening. For this reason, even if a remaining ball is generated at the start of a specific round, the remaining ball is generated in a big winning opening different from the big winning opening opened in the specific round, In the case where it occurs in the normal round performed in this way, the start of the specific round may not be delayed.

  Specifically, in S822 of the big hit game processing, the main controller 80 counts the remaining balls generated at each big winning opening based on the winning numbers and the first and second discharged numbers in each round, Identify the round in which the remaining sphere occurred.

  Then, in S870, it is determined whether or not there is a remaining ball generated in the specific round that was previously performed at the special winning opening that is opened in the newly started specific round, and a positive determination is obtained. In this case, the present process is terminated, and if a negative determination is obtained, the process may proceed to S875. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the start of the specific round from being delayed more than necessary.

  In S870, whether or not there is a remaining ball in the big winning opening that is opened in the newly started specific round, regardless of the round in which the remaining ball has occurred, and a positive determination is obtained. If the process is terminated and a negative determination is obtained, the process may proceed to S875. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.

[Modification 4]
Moreover, in the modification 4 of 2nd Embodiment, the big hit game by which the 1st, 2nd big winning opening 20,21 is opened alternately by each round is provided. In other words, in the big hit game, in each of the first round, the second round, the third round, etc., the first prize winning port 20, the second big prize winning port 21, the first grand prize winning port 20, etc. Are opened or, conversely, the second winning prize opening 21, the first winning prize opening 20, the second winning prize opening 21,... Are opened in this order.

  In the jackpot game, the 10R specific round becomes the first V round, the 15R specific round becomes the second V round, the 10R specific round becomes the second V round, and the 15R specific round becomes the first V round. The case that becomes.

  By doing so, the special winning opening opened in the specific round is different from the special winning opening opened in the round immediately before the specific round, so even if there is a remaining ball at the start of the specific round The start of the round is not delayed.

  Here, in the second embodiment, the common probability variation opening 29 is provided, and at the start timing of a specific round, there may be a game ball that has entered the big winning opening in the immediately preceding round near the common probability variation opening 29. Concerned. However, since the round immediately before a specific round is a normal round, and the passage to the croon is closed by a shutter, the game ball does not enter the croon in the previous round, and such a game ball is generated. There is no.

[effect]
According to the pachinko machines 50 of the first and second embodiments, since the start of the round is not delayed except when there is a remaining ball at the start of the specific round, it is possible to prevent the delay of the big hit game.

  In addition, since the game ball does not enter the Kroon in the normal round, there is no entry into the probability variation mouth, and in the situation where only the normal round is performed continuously, the remaining ball enters the probability variation mouth. Such a situation does not occur. On the other hand, if there is a remaining sphere at the start of the specific round, the specific round is delayed, and the specific round is started after there is no remaining sphere.

  For this reason, even if a game ball entered in the regular round becomes a remaining ball, the remaining ball may enter the probability variation outlet in a later round, There is no effect on the behavior of the game ball. Therefore, only the game balls that have entered the special winning opening in the specific round can enter the privilege area with a predetermined probability, and the privilege can be given to the player with the probability intended at the time of design.

  Furthermore, since the specific round does not occur continuously, the round immediately before the specific round is always the normal round. For this reason, the possibility that the remaining sphere is generated at the start of the specific round is reduced, and the delay of the specific round can be suppressed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect due to the remaining ball from occurring while suppressing the extension of the big hit game.
[Other Embodiments]
(1) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the game ball that has entered the grand prize winning opening is guided to the croon, and after the game ball stays in the croon, the course of the game ball is distributed, A game ball is placed in one of the probabilities and other areas. However, the course of the game ball may be sorted by a sorting device other than Kroon. Note that it is preferable that the distribution device causes the game ball to remain on the device after the game ball reaches the device, and to clarify the distribution destination of the game ball over a certain period of time. Thereby, a player can be entertained. Of course, the sorting device may sort the course of the game ball as soon as the game ball reaches the device.

  (2) Further, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, a distribution device such as a croon is provided only at one of the first and second grand prize winning holes 20 and 21, and the other big prize winning opening is a positive variation opening by a shutter. When the shutter is opened, it may be configured to immediately enter the probable opening.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the opening mode of the big prize opening is always long, and the opening and closing control of the shutter makes it difficult or impossible to enter the probability changing hole in the normal round. At the same time, in a specific round, it is possible to make it easier to enter the probability variation entrance.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, two rounds (10, 15R) in which the big hit game is not continuous are specific rounds, but two or more consecutive rounds may be specified rounds.

Even if it has such a structure, the same effect can be acquired.
(3) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the presence or absence of a remaining ball is determined based on the number of winning balls in the grand prize opening and the number of game balls that have entered the probability variation port, the discharge port, or the loser port. Is detected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a sensor for detecting a game ball is provided at the bottom of the big prize opening, the croon, the path connecting the big prize opening and the croon, or the path connecting the croon and the probability variation mouth. The remaining sphere may be detected by the sensor. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
