First Embodiment
Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a firing handle HD which is operated by a player when the gaming ball is fired to the gaming board YB. The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 11 having an image display unit GH. The image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 is, for example, a display unit of a liquid crystal display type. In the effect display device 11, various display effects based on images are performed.

The game board YB is provided with a plurality of ball entrances through which game balls can enter. The ball entrance includes a first start opening 12, a second start opening 13, and a big winning opening 14.
The first starting opening 12 is an entrance for letting the game ball enter when the starting condition of the special symbol variation game performed by changing the special symbol is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the first starting opening 12 is located below the effect display device 11, and is opened so as to allow the game ball to enter at all times. A sensor (a first start sensor SE1 shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the entered game ball is disposed at the back of the first start opening 12. Further, in the present embodiment, when one gaming ball enters the first starting opening 12 (when one gaming ball is detected by the first starting sensor SE1), a predetermined number (this embodiment) Then three game balls are to be paid out as winning balls. In the present embodiment, the first starting opening 12 corresponds to a first ball entrance.

  The second starting opening 13 is a ball entry port for entering a game ball when establishing a starting condition of a special symbol variation game performed by changing a special symbol. In the present embodiment, the second starting port 13 is located below the first starting port 12.

  The second start-up port 13 is opened by the opening / closing blade (ordinary motorized part) 15 in a normal hit game awarded when winning a normal symbol winning lottery (hereinafter referred to as a normal hitting lottery). The game ball can be made to enter or become easy to enter. On the other hand, the second starting opening 13 can not or can not enter the gaming ball when the opening and closing blade 15 is closed. That is, the opening and closing blade 15 corresponds to an opening and closing means capable of taking an open state and a closed state, and the second start port 13 corresponds to a second ball inlet. The open / close blade 15 operates by receiving power from an actuator (such as a solenoid or a motor). The actuator for operating the open / close blade 15 in the present embodiment is a common electric combination actuator A1 shown in FIG. Further, a sensor (a second start sensor SE2 shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the entered game ball is disposed at the back of the second start port 13. Further, in the present embodiment, when one game ball enters the second start opening 13 (when one game ball is detected by the second start sensor SE2), a predetermined number (present embodiment) is determined in advance. In the form, two balls of game balls are to be paid out as winning balls.

  The special winning opening 14 is an entrance for letting the game ball enter when the payout conditions for winning balls are satisfied. In the present embodiment, the special winning opening 14 is located below the second starting opening 13. In the big hit game 14 that is awarded when a big hit is won, entry of the game ball is permitted by the big hit door 16 being opened. On the other hand, the special winning opening 14 is closed so that the game ball can not be entered by the closing of the special winning opening door 16. The special winning opening door 16 operates by receiving power from an actuator (such as a solenoid or a motor). The actuator for operating the special winning opening door 16 in the present embodiment is a special winning actuator A2 shown in FIG. Further, a sensor (count sensor SE3 shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the entered game ball is disposed at the back of the special winning opening 14. And, in this embodiment, when one game ball enters the big winning opening 14 (when one game ball is detected by the count sensor SE3), a predetermined number (14 balls in this embodiment) The game ball of) is paid out as a prize ball.

  Further, the game board YB is provided with an operation gate 17. In the present embodiment, the actuation gate 17 is located to the left of the effect display device 11. The operation gate 17 is always opened with a gate opening 17a opened so as to allow the game ball to enter. In the gate opening 17a, a sensor (gate sensor SE4 shown in FIG. 5) for detecting gaming balls entering (passing) is disposed. The gate port 17a is a ball entry port for causing the game ball to enter when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game using the normal symbol is established. The opening and closing blade 15 of the second starting opening 13 is awarded after the hit symbol of the normal symbol is normally derived in the normal symbol variation game when winning the normal hit lottery performed by the game ball entering the operation gate 17 In a normal hit game, the player operates from the closed state to the open state. In the present embodiment, the normal hit lottery can be grasped as an open lottery as to whether or not the open / close blade 15 is opened.

  In addition, a special symbol display device 18, a hold display device 19, and a normal symbol display device 20 are disposed on the game board YB. These display devices are located at a portion of the game board YB that can be viewed by the player when the pachinko gaming machine is viewed from the front. Specifically, in the present embodiment, it is disposed at the lower right of the effect display device 11.

  In the special symbol display device 18, a special symbol variation game is performed, and a special symbol according to the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived in the special symbol variation game. When a game ball enters the first starting opening 12 or the second starting opening 13 and is detected, the starting condition of the special symbol variation game is satisfied with the entrance of the ball. In addition, when the starting condition is satisfied, the special symbol variation game is performed by the special symbol display device 18 to derive the lottery result of the big hit lottery, and the special symbol variation game is performed according to the special symbol derived in the special symbol variation game A symbol variation game for deriving a result is also performed on the effect display device 11 using a decorative symbol. In the following description, a symbol variation game using a decorative symbol performed by the effect display device 11 may be indicated as a “decorative symbol variation game”.

  The hold display device 19 displays the number of special symbol variation games (starting hold number) whose execution is being held. The normal symbol display device 20 performs an ordinary symbol variation game using an ordinary symbol, and an ordinary symbol according to the lottery result of the regular hit lottery is derived in the ordinary symbol variation game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a function of probability fluctuation (hereinafter, referred to as "probability") is provided. The probability changing function is a function capable of giving a probability changing state (probability fluctuation state) in which the winning probability of the big hit is changed from the low probability (normal probability) to the high probability after the end of the big hit game. That is, the probability variation state corresponds to a high probability state in which the jackpot probability is high. The probability change state can be an advantageous playing state for the player because a big hit is likely to occur. In the following description, a state in which a positive change state is not given may be referred to as a “non-positive change state”.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the ball entering rate improvement function is provided. The ball filling rate improving function is a function capable of providing a ball filling rate improving state in which the ball filling rate of gaming balls per unit time to the second starting opening 13 is improved. The ball entry rate improvement state is the so-called "power support state" and "high base state". In addition, in the following description, the state to which the ball-incident rate improvement state is not provided may be shown as a "non-ball-filling rate improvement state". The non-entering rate improvement state is the so-called "non-electric support state" and "low base state".

  For example, the ball entry rate improvement state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or by combining and executing a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol variation time reduction control in which the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is made shorter than in the non-entering rate improvement state. The second control is probability fluctuation control of a normal symbol that changes the probability of winning a normal hit lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the non-balloon improvement state. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the open / close blades 15 based on the winning in the normal winning lottery is made longer than in the non-incident rate improvement state. The open time extension control is based on control to increase the number of times of opening and closing of the opening and closing blade 15 based on winning the normal winning lottery than in the non-ball-in-class improvement state, and on winning the normal winning lottery. It is preferable to execute at least one control of the control for making the one open time of the open / close blade 15 longer than that in the non-entering rate improving state.

  Also, in the present embodiment, a special symbol that makes the fluctuation time (for example, the average fluctuation time) of the special symbol fluctuation game easier to be shorter than that in the non-ball-in-class improvement state with the addition of the ball entering rate improvement state. Fluctuation time reduction control is performed. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol is executed, the ball entry rate improvement state is a so-called "variation time reduction state". In the following description, the gaming state, which is a non-deterministic change state and a non-balloon improvement state, may be indicated as a "normal state".

  The ball entering rate improving state according to the present embodiment includes a high ball entering rate different from the low ball entering rate improving state and the low ball entering rate improving state different from the low ball entering rate improving state and the low ball entering rate improving state. There is a rate improvement status. In the present embodiment, the high ball entry rate improvement state is a state in which the ball entry rate of gaming balls per unit time to the second starting opening 13 is higher than the low ball entry rate improvement state.

Hereinafter, the non-ball entering rate improvement state, the low ball entering rate improvement state, and the high ball entering rate improvement state will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning a normal hit lottery (the probability of a normal hit) differs between the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the high ball entry rate improvement state is a state in which the probability of winning a normal hit is higher than in the non ball entry rate improvement state and the low ball entry rate improvement state. Further, the low ball-in-class rate improvement state is a state in which the probability of winning a normal hit lottery is higher than in the non-ball-in-class rate improvement state. That is, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning in the normal winning lottery is higher in the order of non-entering rate improvement state <low entry rate improvement state <high entry rate improvement state. Then, if the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery is high, the ordinary hitting game is likely to be awarded, so the opening / closing blade 15 is likely to be in the open state, and the ball pitch of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time. Becomes higher.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, the high ball entry rate improvement state is a state in which the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game is shorter than the non-ball entry rate improvement state and the low ball entry rate improvement state. Further, the low ball entry rate improvement state is a state in which the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game is shorter than the non-ball entry rate improvement state. That is, in the present embodiment, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game is shorter in the low ball entry rate improvement state than in the non ball entry rate improvement state, and further, the high ball entry rate is higher than the low ball entry rate improvement state. The improvement status is shorter. Then, if the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game is short, the number of times the normal symbol fluctuation game is executed per unit time tends to increase and the normal hit game is easily awarded, so that the open / close blade 15 tends to be opened. The ball entering rate of the gaming balls to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is high.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the high ball-in-class rate improvement state is longer than the non-ball-in-class rate improvement state and the low ball-in-class rate improvement state. It is a state. Further, the low ball entry rate improvement state is a state in which the open / close blade 15 is open for a longer time in one normal hit game than in the non-ball entry rate improvement state. That is, in this embodiment, the time for which the open / close blades 15 are opened in one normal hit game is longer in the order of non-ball entering improvement state <low ball entering improvement state <high ball entering state. When the open / close blade 15 is open for a long time in one ordinary hit game, the ball entry rate of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time increases.

  In the present embodiment, the opening mode when the open / close blade 15 is in the open state in one ordinary hit game in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state corresponds to the first open mode. The opening mode when the opening and closing blade 15 is opened in the normal hit game corresponds to the second opening mode. Therefore, the open / close blade 15 of the present embodiment is open in any one of a plurality of open modes including the first open mode and the second open mode in which the time for which the open state is longer than the first open mode is long. It can be understood that it operates in an aspect. That is, in the present embodiment, the open / close blade 15 is in the open state in the case of winning the ordinary hit lottery in the low ball entry rate improvement state and in the case of winning the ordinary hit lottery in the high ball entry rate improvement state. There are different rates of operation in the long open mode. Specifically, when the opening / closing blade 15 wins the regular hit lottery in the high entry percentage improvement state, the open time is longer than the time when the normal hit lottery is won in the low entry percentage improvement state. Operate in the open mode.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the ball entering rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is in the order of non-ball entering rate improving state <low ball entering rate improving state <high ball entering rate improved state. It is set to be high. Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, when one game ball enters the second starting opening 13, a predetermined number of game balls determined in advance are paid out. For this reason, the fact that the ball entering rate of the game balls to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is high corresponds to the fact that the number of game balls to be paid out is large, that is, the degree of advantage for the player is high. In other words, in the present embodiment, each gaming state can be grasped as a gaming state in which the advantage for the player is high in the order of non-ball entering rate improving state <low ball entering rate improving state <high ball entering rate improving state. .

  Also, in this embodiment, in each game state of non ball entering rate improving state, low ball entering rate improving state, and high ball entering rate improving state, the game board YB is hit out regardless of the game state. The probability of entering the second starting port 13 per game ball is set to a probability lower than the reciprocal of the number of gaming balls to be paid out when one gaming ball enters the second starting port 13 ing. Incidentally, the number of game balls to be paid out when one game ball enters the second starting opening 13 in the present embodiment is "two balls". Therefore, in each gaming state, the ball entry probability to the second starting opening 13 per game ball hit on the game board YB is configured to be less than "1/2 (= 50%)" in any case. It is done. In the present embodiment, the probability that the game ball enters the second starting opening 13 is the opening probability of the above-mentioned winning probability of the normal hit lottery, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the opening / closing blade in one ordinary hit game. In addition to the time when 15 is in the open state, it can be set by the arrangement of obstacle members such as game nails on the game board YB.

  Next, the big hit and big hit game in this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the type of jackpot is identified according to the type of special symbol determined when the jackpot is won. Further, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won, the jackpot game according to the type of the jackpot is awarded.

  In the big hit game, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is performed first. After the end of the opening effect, a round game allowing game balls to enter the big winning opening 14 is played a plurality of times with the predetermined number of predetermined rounds as the upper limit. In one round game, the special winning opening door 16 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. And in one round game, the first end condition that the specified number (eight balls in this embodiment) of game balls enter and the second end condition in which the specified time (25 seconds in this embodiment) elapses The process ends when one of them is established. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, when the round game of the prescribed number of rounds is ended, an ending effect is performed, and the big hit game is ended. In addition, in the big hit game of this embodiment, the rendering time (opening time) of the opening effect and the rendering time (ending time) of the ending effect are both set to 10 seconds. Hereinafter, the effects to be executed during the big hit game such as the opening effect, the round effect, and the ending effect may be collectively referred to as “big hit game effects”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, a big hit based on the special symbol ZA (hereinafter referred to as the big hit ZA) and a big hit based on the special symbol ZB (hereinafter referred to as the big hit ZB) To indicate that). In the drawings, "round" may be indicated as "R" for convenience of explanation.

  The big hit game based on the big hit ZA is a big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is 16 times. The big hit game based on the big hit ZB is a big hit game in which the number of prescribed rounds is four. Further, in the big hit game based on the big hit ZA and the big hit game based on the big hit ZB, the prescribed number is set to 8 balls, and the prescribed time of the round game is set to 25 seconds. Therefore, the jackpot ZA is a jackpot having a large number of gaming balls that the player can acquire in the jackpot game, as compared to the jackpot ZB. In the present embodiment, the number of gaming balls obtainable during the big hit game is, in other words, the degree of advantage in the big hit. That is, the big hit ZA is a big hit that is more advantageous than the big hit ZB. In the present embodiment, the big hit ZB corresponds to a second big hit, and the big hit ZA corresponds to a first big hit that is more advantageous than the big hit ZB.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls obtainable in the big hit game based on the big hit ZA is 1792 balls (14 (number of winning balls) × 8 (specified number) × 16 (specified number of rounds)). Further, the number of gaming balls obtainable in the big hit game based on the big hit ZB is 448 balls (14 (number of winning balls) × 8 (specified number) × 4 (specified round number)). Here, the number of game balls that can be acquired is the number of game balls paid out in the big hit game, and the number of game balls fired in the big hit game is not considered. In the big hit game, in the round game, the specified number of game balls may not enter, or more than the specified number of game balls may enter (so-called, over winning), so it can be obtained in the big hit game The number of game balls may be more or less than the number described above.

  Further, in the present embodiment, regardless of any big hit, after the end of the big hit game, the upper limit until the special symbol variation game of a predetermined number of definite variations (100 times in the present embodiment) is ended is an upper limit. A definite change state is given. It is to be noted that the assignment of the probability change state may be ended when the jackpot is won as a trigger even if the number of times of the special symbol variation game of the number of probability changes is not finished. That is, the application of the probability change state is ended triggered by the establishment of either the first probability change termination condition that the special symbol variation game with the probability variation number ends or the second probability change termination condition to win the big hit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the big hit ZA, after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZA, the upper limit until the end of the special symbol variation game of a predetermined number of operations (100 times in the present embodiment) is an upper limit The ball hitting rate improvement state is given. On the other hand, in the case of a big hit ZB, after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZB, the high ball ratio improvement state with the upper limit until the special symbol variation game of a predetermined number of operations (100 times in this embodiment) ends Is granted. It should be noted that the addition of the ball entry rate improvement state may be ended when the jackpot is won as a trigger even if the special symbol variation game of the number of times of operation has not ended. That is, the addition of the ball entry rate improvement state is ended triggered by the establishment of any of the first operation end condition in which the special symbol variation game with the number of operations ends and the second operation end condition in which the big hit is won.

  In the present embodiment, the same number of times as the number of definite variations is set as the number of operations. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the improvement in the degree of entering the ball is also given along with the application of the definite change state, while the state of the improvement in the entering sphere is also ended when the definite change state is ended. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to be in the gaming state such as the non-deterministic change state and the low ball entry rate improvement state, the non-probability change state and the high ball entry rate improvement state, and the positive change state and the non-fill rate improvement state.

Next, the effect mode in the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of effect modes. Background images different from each other are associated with each effect mode as the background image displayed on the back of the decorative design in the effect display device 11. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the effect mode can also be grasped as a game effect (display effect) that displays different background images for each effect mode. Further, in each effect mode, the execution mode of the game effect is different for each effect mode. In the effect mode of the present embodiment, there is a first effect mode indicating a normal state, and a probability change state, and either a low ball entry rate improvement state or a high ball entry rate improvement state. There is a second effect mode shown.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted with various substrates including a main control substrate 30 and a sub control substrate 31.

  The main control board 30 can execute the control operation according to a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b storing a control program of the main control CPU 30a, and a main capable of writing and reading necessary data. And a control RAM 30c. Further, the main control board 30 has a random number generation circuit (not shown). The random number generation circuit generates a hardware random number by updating the value by one each period of an internal system clock (for example, 10 MHz) supplied from a clock circuit mounted on the microprocessor. Various sensors SE1 to SE4, various display devices 18 to 20, and various actuators A1 and A2 are connected to the main control board 30.

The main control board 30 performs input processing based on the detection signals of the game balls from the various sensors SE1 to SE4.
The main control CPU 30a performs processing of storing the suspension of the special symbol variation game and processing of acquiring various random numbers used for a big hit lottery or the like in the input processing when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2 are input. Further, in the input processing when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2 are input, processing for paying out a predetermined number of winning balls is performed. Then, the main control CPU 30a performs a variation start process for starting a special symbol variation game based on the hold stored in the input process when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2 are input.

  In the variation start process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be finally displayed in the special symbol variation game based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. Further, in the change start process, the main control CPU 30a determines (selects) a change pattern that can specify the change time of the special symbol change game based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. At this time, the main control CPU 30a designates the determined fluctuation pattern, and generates a fluctuation pattern designation command for instructing the start of fluctuation of the decorative pattern, and sets it in the output buffer. The command set in the output buffer is output to the sub control CPU 31a in the command output process in the control cycle from the next cycle. The fluctuation pattern includes a fluctuation pattern for a big hit effect determined when winning a big hit, and a fluctuation pattern for outing effect determined when a big hit is not won (including a fluctuation pattern with a missed reach). is there.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a performs a process for paying out a predetermined number of winning balls in the input process when the detection signal from the count sensor SE3 is input. In addition, the main control CPU 30a acquires various random numbers used for processing for storing the suspension of the normal symbol variation game using the normal symbol and for the normal winning lottery in the input processing when the detection signal from the gate sensor SE4 is input. Do the process.

  The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) which can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probability change flag indicating whether or not a positive change state is assigned. Further, the main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the state of improvement in ball entry rate is given.

  The sub control board 31 is electrically connected to the main control board 30 so that information (control signal) is transmitted from the main control board 30 in one direction. The sub control board 31 can execute the control operation in a predetermined procedure, the sub control ROM 31b storing the control program of the sub control CPU 31a, and the sub capable of writing and reading necessary data. And a control RAM 31c.

  The sub control CPU 31 a of the sub control board 31 performs control according to the information transmitted from the main control board 30. For example, when starting the special symbol variation game, in addition to the control of the display content of the special symbol display device 18, the main control CPU 30a transmits information for instructing the start of the symbol variation game to the sub control CPU 31a. The sub control CPU 31a that has received the information controls the display content so that the decorative symbol variation game is played on the effect display device 11.

  The sub control RAM 31 c stores various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) which can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, in the sub control RAM 31 c, a sub probability change flag capable of specifying whether or not a positive change state is given is stored. Further, the sub control RAM 31 c stores a sub operation flag that can specify whether or not the state of improvement in the ball entry rate is assigned.

Next, the big hit game processing performed by the main control CPU 30a to give a big hit game will be described.
The main control CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game to be awarded based on the jackpot symbol (ie, the type of jackpot) determined when the jackpot is won. Then, after the end of the special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a starts control of the identified big hit game, and outputs a predetermined control command to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing.

  When the big hit special symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 30a first generates an opening command instructing execution of the opening effect, and sets it in the output buffer. Next, the main control CPU 30a generates a round command instructing the start of the round game every time the round game is started after elapse of the effect time of the opening effect set for each big hit game, and sets it in the output buffer Do. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the big winning actuator A2 to play a round game so that the big winning opening door 16 is opened according to the opening mode set for each big hit game. After that, the main control CPU 30a closes the special winning opening door 16 when any of the first end condition that the specified number of game balls enter or the second end condition that the specified time elapses is satisfied in the round game. The big winning actuator A2 is controlled to be in the state to end the round game. Then, when the final round game is ended, the main control CPU 30a generates an ending command instructing execution of ending effect, and sets the ending command in the output buffer. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a terminates the big hit game processing when the effect time of the ending effect has passed.

  The main control CPU 30a sets “0” as a value indicating that the positive probability change state is not given to the main probability change flag as the big hit game starts. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a non-probability change command indicating that a positive change state is not given, and sets it in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” as a value indicating that the ball entry state improvement state is not given to the main operation flag as the big hit game starts. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a non-operation command indicating that the ball entry state is not given, and sets it in the output buffer.

  After that, when the main control CPU 30a is a big hit that is determined to give a positive change state after the end of the big hit game, the main probability change flag is given a positive change state in the main probability change flag when the big hit game is over. The value "1" is set as a value indicating that there is an event, and the number of probability variations determined in advance is stored in the main control RAM 30c. As described above, in the present embodiment, all the jackpots are jackpots that are determined to provide a positive change state after the end of the jackpot game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a positive variation command indicating that a positive variation state is given, and sets it in the output buffer.

  The main control CPU 30a enters the main operation flag as the big hit when the big hit is over, when the big hit of this time is determined to provide a low ball-incident improvement state after the big hit game is over. "1" is set as a value indicating that the ball ratio improvement state is given, and a predetermined number of times of operation is stored in the main control RAM 30c. As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot ZA is a jackpot that is determined to provide a low ball-incident rate improvement state after the end of the jackpot game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a first operation command indicating that the low ball entry rate improvement state is applied, and sets the first operation command in the output buffer.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a enters the main operation flag high when the big hit game is over when the big hit of this time is a big hit determined to provide a high ball entry state improvement state after the big hit game is over. As "2" is set as a value indicating that the ball ratio improvement state is given, the number of times of operation set in advance is stored in the main control RAM 30c. As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot ZB is a jackpot that is determined to provide a high ball-incident rate improvement state after the end of the jackpot game. Further, at this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a second operation command indicating that the high ball entry rate improvement state is applied, and sets the second operation command in the output buffer.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a performs the process of rewriting the value of the main operation flag, thereby realizing the state giving means capable of giving the ball entry rate improvement state. And, as described above, in the present embodiment, when the main control CPU 30a wins the big hit ZA, it gives a low ball entry rate improvement state, while when winning the big hit ZB, the high entry Give the ball rate improvement state. That is, in the present embodiment, the low ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the first ball entry rate improvement state, and the high ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the second ball entry rate improvement state. In other words, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a applies the ball entry rate improvement state in different application modes depending on the type of the big hit. In the present embodiment, the difference in the mode of giving means that the type of the state of improvement in the degree of entering the ball is different.

Next, normal symbol input processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes normal symbol input processing at predetermined control cycles.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a is stored in the main control RAM 30c when the game ball enters the operation gate 17 and a detection signal output from the gate sensor SE4 that detects the game ball is input. It is determined whether or not the number of normal symbol variation games being held (hereinafter referred to as the number of normal symbol holdings) is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment). If the normal symbol holding number is less than the upper limit, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the normal symbol holding number and rewrites the normal symbol holding number. After that, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number value for the normal winning lottery, and the acquired random number values are determined in the order in which the random number values are stored and the first stored random number value. The main control RAM 30c stores the main control RAM 30c so that it can be identified. On the other hand, when the number of normal symbol holdings has reached the upper limit, the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the number of normal symbol holdings which exceeds the upper limit, and does not acquire the random number for the ordinary winning lottery.

Next, normal symbol start processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes normal symbol start processing at predetermined control cycles.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a performs the normal start determination as to whether or not the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is satisfied. At this time, the main control CPU 30a positively determines the normal start determination when the normal symbol variation game is not being performed and the normal hit game is not being performed. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is being executed or the normal hit game is being played, the normal start determination is determined to be negative.

  If the determination result of the normal start determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal start determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the number of normal symbol holdings is larger than zero. When the normal symbol holding number is 0 or less, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the number of normal symbol holdings is larger than 0, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the first stored random number among the values of the random numbers for the normal winning lottery stored in the main control RAM 30c. Do.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a performs a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not the acquired value of the random number for the normal hit lottery matches the normal hit determination value in the current gaming state. Explaining in detail, the main control CPU 30a refers to the main operation flag to specify which gaming state among the non ball-incidence improvement state, the low ball-in-class improvement state, and the high ball-in-class improvement state. Do. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the acquired value of the random number for the normal hit lottery with the normal hit determination value in the current gaming state, and determines whether or not the two values match. With the selection of the normal hit judgment value according to this gaming state, in the low ball entry rate improvement state, the probability of winning in the normal hit lottery is changed to a higher probability than the non ball entry rate improvement state, and the high ball entry rate In the improvement state, the probability of winning in the normal hit lottery fluctuates to a higher probability than in the non-entry rate improvement state and the low entry rate improvement state.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for a normal symbol which defines a variation time of the normal symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines any one of the variation patterns for the normal symbols which can be determined in the current gaming state. By the determination of the variation pattern for the normal symbol according to this gaming state, in the low ball entry rate improvement state, while the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game becomes shorter than the non ball entry rate improvement state, the high ball entry percentage In the improved state, the average variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shorter than in the non-entering rate improving state and the low entering rate improvement state.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display device 20 to execute the normal symbol variation game in accordance with the determined variation pattern for the normal symbol. Then, when the variation time defined in the variation pattern for the normal symbol has passed, the main control CPU 30a causes the regular hit symbol to be displayed on the regular symbol display device 20 as a fixed stop when it is won by the normal winning lottery. When the normal hit determination is determined to be negative, the normal off symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display device 20 as a fixed stop.

  When the normal hit determination is affirmed, the main control CPU 30a performs processing for granting a normal hit game after the end of the normal symbol variation game (after the normal stop display of the normal hit symbol).

  The main control CPU 30a identifies the open mode of the open / close blade 15 based on the current gaming state, and operates the open / close blade 15 according to the identified open mode. Specifically, in the non-enter-ball-rate improvement state, the main control CPU 30a operates the open / close blade 15 so as to be in the open state for the first time (0.02 seconds in the present embodiment). Further, in the low ball entry rate improving state, the main control CPU 30a operates the open / close blade 15 to be in the open state for a second time (one second in this embodiment) longer than the first time. . Then, in the case of the high ball entry rate improvement state, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the open / close blade 15 so as to be in the open state for the third time (1.5 seconds in the present embodiment) longer than the second time. Make it work. By controlling the open / close blades 15 in different open modes (operation modes) according to the game state, the open time of the open / close blades 15 becomes longer than that in the non-fill-in-class improvement mode, In the ball entering rate improving state, the open time of the open / close blade 15 is longer than in the non ball entering rate improving state and the low ball entering rate improving state.

Next, processing performed by the sub control CPU 31a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 31a receives a positive change command from the main control CPU 30a, the secondary control CPU 31a sets "1" as a value indicating that a positive change state is assigned to the secondary probability change flag of the secondary control RAM 31c. Further, when the non-probability change command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a sets “0” as a value indicating that a positive change state is not given to the secondary probability change flag.

  When the sub-control CPU 31a receives the first operation command from the main control CPU 30a, the sub-control CPU 31a sets "1" to the sub-operation flag of the sub-control RAM 31c as a value indicating that the low ball entry rate improvement state is given. . In addition, when the secondary control CPU 31a inputs the second operation command from the main control CPU 30a, the secondary operation flag of the secondary control RAM 31c is "2" as a value indicating that the high ball-in-fill rate improvement state is given. Set Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a receives a non-operation command from the main control CPU 30a, the sub-control CPU 31a sets "0" as a value indicating that the ball entry state improvement state is not given to the sub-operation flag.

  Then, the sub control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the probability change state is given by referring to the above-mentioned sub probability change flag, and the ball convergence rate improvement state is given by referring to the sub operation flag. It is possible to specify whether or not the ball entry state has been improved.

  Hereinafter, control performed by the sub control CPU 31a in relation to the effect mode will be described. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a performs control related to the rendering mode, whereby mode control means for controlling the rendering mode is realized.

  In the present embodiment, setting the sub-control CPU 31a to a predetermined value in the rendering mode flag provided in the sub-control RAM 31 c corresponds to controlling the rendering mode. Specifically, in the present embodiment, setting “1” to the effect mode flag corresponds to controlling to the first effect mode, and setting “2” to the effect mode flag to the second effect mode It corresponds to controlling. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 11 based on the value set in the effect mode flag to change the background image to be displayed and to change the execution mode of the game effect.

  The sub control CPU 31a sets “1” to the effect mode flag when it is determined that the normal state (non-probability change state and non-entering ball rate improvement state) is determined from the values of the sub probability variation flag and the sub actuation flag. Control to the first effect mode.

  Further, when the sub control CPU 31a specifies that the state is a probability change state and a low ball entry rate improvement state from the values of the sub probability change flag and the sub operation flag, the effect mode flag is set to "2", and the second effect Control to mode. Further, when the sub control CPU 31a specifies that the probability change state and the high ball entry rate improvement state are determined from the values of the sub probability change flag and the sub actuation flag, the sub control CPU 31a identifies the probability change state and the low ball entry rate improvement state. As in the case of the second effect mode, the effect mode flag is set to "2" to control the second effect mode.

  As described above, when the sub control CPU 31a is in the normal state, the sub control CPU 31a performs control in the first effect mode while being in the positive change state and either the low ball entry rate improvement state or the high ball entry rate improvement state When it is, it controls to 2nd production mode. That is, the sub control CPU 31a controls the same effect mode in the low ball entry rate improving state and the high ball entry rate improving state.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow of the game and the high / low of the degree of advantage to the player in the case where the ball entry state improvement state is given after the big hit is won will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the jackpot ZA is won in the non-fill-in-class-rate improvement state, the low ball-incident improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZA. As described above, in the non ball entering rate improvement state, the ball entering rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is lower than in the low ball entering rate improving state and the high ball entering rate improving state, It is in a state where the degree of advantage is low (in the figure, it is indicated as "low degree of In the big hit ZA, the number of winning balls obtainable in the big hit game is greater than the number of big balls in the big hit game than the big hit ZB, and the advantage for the player is high (in FIG. "High"). Moreover, while the low ball-in-class rate improvement state is higher than the non-ball-in-class rate improvement state, the ball-in-classification rate of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is high and the advantage for the player is high The ball entry rate to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is lower than the high ball entry rate improvement state, and the advantage for the player is low (in FIG. Indicate “inside”).

  And, in the present embodiment, when the big hit ZA having a higher degree of advantage for the player than the big hit ZB is given, after the end of the big hit game, the low degree of advantage for the player than the high ball-in-class improvement state The ball hitting rate improvement state is given. In the present embodiment, similarly, when the jackpot ZA is won in the low ball entry rate improvement state or the high ball entry rate improvement state, the low ball entry rate improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), when the jackpot ZB is won in the non-incident rate improving state, the high ball-incident rate improving state is provided after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZB. As described above, the big hit ZB has a smaller number of game balls obtainable in the big hit game than the big hit ZA, and the advantage for the player is low (in FIG. ")). In addition, the high ball entry rate improvement state has a higher ball entry rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time than the non-ball entry rate improvement state and the low ball entry rate improvement state, which is advantageous for the player The degree is high (in the figure, it is shown as "high in degree of advantage (ball pitch)"). That is, in the present embodiment, when the big hit ZB, which is lower in the player's advantage than the big hit ZA, is given high after the end of the big hit game, the advantage for the player is higher than the low ball-in-progress state. The ball hitting rate improvement state is given. In the present embodiment, similarly, when the jackpot ZB is won in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state or the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the high ball-in-classfield improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won with a high degree of merit, the improvement in the ball entry rate is given a low degree of advantage while the jackpot is awarded with a low degree of merit. A high pitched state improvement state is given.

As described in detail above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) A game can be diversified by a combination of a plurality of types of jackpots and a plurality of ball entry rate improvement states having different ball entry rates. Therefore, the interest to the game can be improved.

  (2) In particular, in the case of winning the big hit ZB, which has an advantage lower than that of the big hit ZA, a high ball entry improvement state having a higher ball entry rate than the low ball entry state is provided. According to this, it is possible to reduce the decrease in interest for the game when winning by a jackpot having a low degree of advantage.

  (3) In addition, in the case of winning the big hit ZA, which has a higher degree of advantage than the big hit ZB, a low ball entry improvement state having a lower ball entry rate than the high ball entry state is provided. For this reason, for a plurality of types of jackpots, it is possible to eliminate the bias in the degree of advantage for the player, including the degree of advantage after the end of the big hit game.

  (4) In the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state, since the ball entry rate to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is different, the game ball is in the second starting opening 13 per unit time. The number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the ball is different. Also, the number of gaming balls that can be acquired during a big hit game differs between the big hit ZA and the big hit ZB. And since these ball hits are different in the state of improvement of the ball pitch provided after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to diversify the number of game balls that can be obtained comprehensively in the big hit game and after the big hit game. , I can improve the interest to the game.

  (5) The probability of winning a normal hit is different between the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to diversify the combination of a plurality of types of big hit and the probability of winning a normal hit lottery in a single normal symbol variation game performed after the end of the big hit game.

  (6) The open mode of the opening / closing blade 15 in the normal hit game when the normal hit lottery is selected differs between the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to diversify the combination of a plurality of types of jackpots and the open mode of the open / close blades 15 in the normal hit game.

  (7) In order to control the same effect mode in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state and the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the game is performed by a combination of multiple types of jackpots and a plurality of ball-in-class rate improvement states. While diversifying, it is possible to give enjoyment to guess which ball entry rate improvement state. Therefore, the interest to the game can be improved.

  (8) In particular, in the present embodiment, when the big hit ZA, which has an advantage higher than the big hit ZB, is awarded a low ball entry status improved state with a lower ball entry rate than the high ball entry level enhanced state. Even in the case, the same effect mode as when the high ball-in-class rate improvement state is given is controlled. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the reduction of interest when winning a big hit ZA.

Second Embodiment
Next, a pachinko gaming machine 10 according to a second embodiment will be described. In the following description, the same configuration as the embodiment described above and the same control content are assigned the same reference numerals, and the overlapping description will be omitted or simplified.

First, the big hit and big hit game in this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, as in the first embodiment described above, the jackpot in the present embodiment has a jackpot ZA for providing a jackpot game having 16 prescribed rounds, and 4 prescribed rounds, as in the first embodiment described above. There is a big hit ZB, which is to give a big hit game. Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the special symbol variation in a predetermined number of definite variations (100 times in the present embodiment) after the end of the big hit game, regardless of any big hit. The probability change state is given up to the end of the game.

And, in the big hit ZA and the big hit ZB of the present embodiment, the improvement in the ball-filling rate given after the big hit game is different according to the gaming state when the big hit is won.
Specifically, when the jackpot ZA is won, if the gaming state at the time of winning is the normal state (non-probable change state and non ball entering rate improving state), the low ball entering state improving state is awarded after the big hit game is over . Further, when the jackpot ZA is won, if the gaming state at the time of winning is a definite change state and a low ball entry rate improvement state, a high ball entry improvement state is provided after the big hit game is over. When the jackpot ZA is won, if the gaming state at the time of winning is a definite change state and a high ball entry rate improvement state, a low ball entry rate improvement state is provided after the big hit game is over.

  On the other hand, in the case of winning the big hit ZB, if the gaming state at the time of winning is the normal state, the high ball-incident rate improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game. Further, when the jackpot ZB is won, if the gaming state at the time of winning is a definite change state and a low ball entry rate improvement state, a high ball entry improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game. When the jackpot ZB is won, if the gaming state at the time of winning is a definite change state and a high ball entry rate improvement state, a low ball entry rate improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the special symbol variation game with the predetermined number of operations (100 times in the present embodiment) even if any ball entry rate improvement state is given. The ball entering rate improvement state is given up to the end of the upper limit. And the number of times of operation is set to the same number as the number of definite variations. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the game such as the non probability change state and the low ball entry rate improvement state, the non probability change state and the high ball entry rate improvement state, and the probability change state and the non ball entry rate improvement state It can not be in the state.

Next, a process performed by the main control CPU 30a to give an improvement in the ball-incident rate with the end of the big hit game will be described.
The main control CPU 30a imparts, at the end of the big hit game, an increase in ball pitch status specified based on the type of the current big hit and the gaming state when the big hit is won.

  Specifically, when the big hit of this time is the big hit ZA, and the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit is the normal state, the main control CPU 30a sets the main operation flag along with the end of the big hit game. “1” is set as a value indicating that the low ball-in-class rate improvement state is given. Further, when the main control CPU 30a is the case where the present big hit is the big hit ZA, and the gaming state when winning the big hit is the definite change state and the low ball-in-class rate improvement state, with the end of the big hit game. The main operation flag is set to "2" as a value indicating that the high ball entry rate improvement state is given. And, the main control CPU 30a, when the big hit of this time is big hit ZA, when the gaming state when winning the big hit is definite change state and high ball entry rate improvement state, with the end of the big hit game The main operation flag is set to “1” as a value indicating that the low ball entry rate improvement state is given.

  Further, when the big hit this time is the big hit ZB, and the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit is the normal state, the main control CPU 30a enters the main operation flag with a high entry with the end of the big hit game. “2” is set as a value indicating that the sphere rate improvement state is given. Further, when the main control CPU 30a is the case where the big hit of this time is the big hit ZB, and the gaming state when winning the big hit is a definite change state and a low ball entry rate improving state, with the end of the big hit game. The main operation flag is set to "2" as a value indicating that the high ball entry rate improvement state is given. And, when the big hit this time is the big hit ZB, when the main control CPU 30a is in a definite change state and a high ball entry rate improving state when the big hit is won, the big hit game is ended. The main operation flag is set to “1” as a value indicating that the low ball entry rate improvement state is given.

  As described above, the main control CPU 30a is high when the jackpot ZA or the jackpot ZB is won, and the gaming state when the jackpot ZA or the jackpot ZB is elected is a definite change state and a low ball-in-class rate improvement state. Give the ball hitting rate improvement state. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a wins the big hit ZA or the big hit ZB, and the big hit ZA or the big hit ZB wins the game, the gaming state is a definite change state and a high ball-in-class rate improvement state. Give rate improvement status. That is, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the ball entry percentage improvement state to be provided according to the type of the big hit and the gaming state when the big hit is won, and the specified type of the main control CPU 30a Give the ball hitting rate improvement state. In the present embodiment, the big hit ZA and the big hit ZB correspond to a specific big hit, the low ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the second ball entry rate improvement state, and the high ball entry rate improvement state is the first ball entry rate It corresponds to the improvement state. In addition, the game state which is the definite change state and the low ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the first game state, and the game state which is the positive variation state and the high ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the second game state.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 8, the flow of the game and the high / low of the degree of advantage for the player in the case where the ball entry state improvement state is given after the big hit is won will be described. In addition, about the flow of the game at the time of winning in big hit ZA or big hit ZB in a normal state, and the high and low of the degree of advantage, since it is the same as that of a 1st embodiment mentioned above, explanation is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the big hit ZA is won in the low entry percentage improvement state, the high entry percentage improvement state is given after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZA. Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), when the jackpot ZA is won in the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the low ball-incident rate improvement state is given after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZA.

  As described above, in the low ball entry rate improvement state, the ball entry rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is higher than the non-ball entry rate improvement state, and the state of advantage for the player is high. On the other hand, the ball entering rate into the second starting opening 13 per unit time is lower than that in the high ball entering state, and the player's advantage is low. In the big hit ZA, the number of winning balls obtainable in the big hit game is greater than the number of big balls in the big hit game than the big hit ZB, and the player is highly advantageous. And in the high ball entry rate improvement state, the ball entry rate into the second starting opening 13 per unit time is higher than in the non ball entry rate improvement state and the low ball entry rate improvement state, and the player's advantage is high. It is a state.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot ZA is given in the low ball-in-class improvement state in which the degree of advantage is low (the ball entering rate is low), the advantage is high (the ball entering rate is high) high after the end of the big hit game The ball hitting rate improvement state is given. On the other hand, when the big hit ZA is given in the high ball entry improvement state in which the degree of advantage is high, the low ball entry improvement state in which the degree of advantage is low after the end of the big hit game is given.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the jackpot ZB is won in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state, the high ball-introduction improvement state is given after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZB. Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (d), when the jackpot ZB is won in the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the low ball-incident improvement state is provided after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit ZB.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when the big hit ZB is given in the low entry rate improvement state where the advantage is low (the entry rate is low), the advantage is high (the entry rate is high) high after the end of the big hit game. The ball hitting rate improvement state is given. On the other hand, when the big hit ZB is given in the high ball content improvement state in which the degree of advantage is high, a low ball growth state in which the degree of advantage is low after the end of the big hit game is provided.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won in the gaming state with a high degree of advantage, while the ball entry rate improvement state with a low degree of advantage is awarded, the jackpot is won in the gaming state with a low degree of advantage. In this case, the improvement in the ball entry rate is imparted with a high degree of advantage.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (8) described above.
(9) A game is performed by a combination of the type of big hit and the gaming state when winning in big hit, and a plurality of ball entry rate improvement states in which the ball entry rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time is different. It can be diversified. Therefore, the interest to the game can be improved.

  (10) In particular, when a big hit is won in the low ball entry improvement state where the degree of advantage is lower than the high ball entry improvement state, the high ball entry improvement is higher than the low ball entry improvement state. Status is granted. According to this, even when the low ball entry rate improvement state with low degree of advantage is given, it can be expected that the high ball entry rate improvement state with high degree of advantage is given after becoming a big hit after that. , It is possible to reduce the decrease in interest to the low ball-in-class rate improvement state is given.

  (11) In addition, when winning a big hit in the high entry rate improvement state, which has a higher degree of advantage than the low entry rate improvement state, the low entry rate improvement is lower than the high entry rate improvement state. Status is granted. For this reason, before and after winning a big hit, it is possible to balance the degree of advantage for the player and eliminate the bias of the degree of advantage.

  (12) The probability of winning a normal hit is different between the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to diversify the combination of the gaming state when winning a big hit and the probability of winning a normal hit lottery in a single normal symbol variation game performed after the big hit game is over.

  (13) The open mode of the opening / closing blade 15 in the normal hit game when the normal hit lottery is selected differs between the low ball entry rate improving state and the high ball entry rate improving state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to diversify the combination of the gaming state when the jackpot is won and the opening mode of the open / close blades 15 in the normal hit game.

The above embodiment can be embodied in the following another embodiment (another example).
In each embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a may control the effect mode to be different for the case of the low ball entry rate improvement state and the case of the high ball entry rate improvement state. According to this, since it is possible to control to the effect mode according to the type of the entered ball content rate improvement state, it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect by the effect mode, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  -In addition, while making the types of controllable effect modes the same in the case of the low ball entry rate improvement state and the case of the high ball entry rate improvement state, the ratio of which effect mode is controlled May be different. For example, the sub control CPU 31a can control the second effect mode and the third effect mode regardless of which of the low ball entry rate improvement state and the high ball entry rate improvement state. Then, in the low ball entry rate improving state, the sub control CPU 31a controls so that the proportion controlled to the second rendering mode is higher than in the high ball entry rate improving state. May be According to this, it is possible to give enjoyment to estimate the current state of ball entry improvement state from the effect mode.

  In the plurality of effect modes in each embodiment, the background image displayed in part or all of the effect modes may be the same image. In this case, each effect mode can be distinguished by the execution mode of the game effect to be executed. In addition, with regard to a plurality of types of effect modes, the execution mode of the game effect to be executed in a part or all of the effect modes may be the same. In this case, each effect mode can be distinguished by the displayed background image. In addition, the names of part or all of the effect modes, the types of music output from the speakers, the light emission modes of the decoration lamps, and the like may be made to different types of effect modes. In this case, the execution mode of the background image and the game effect may be the same for each effect mode. That is, at least a part of the effects performed in the effect mode may be different in each effect mode. That is, it is only necessary for the player to recognize that each effect mode is a different effect mode.

  -For each non-entry rate improvement state, low entry rate improvement state, and high entry rate improvement state in each embodiment, the winning probability per normal lottery, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the opening / closing in the normal hit game Some of the opening times of the blades 15 may be the same. That is, for each state, when making the ball entry rate of the game ball to the second starting opening 13 per unit time different, the winning probability per lottery usually, the average fluctuation time of the regular symbol variation game, and the regular hit game At least a part of the opening times of the opening and closing blades 15 in the above may be different.

  In addition, the probability of winning a normal hit may be changed as appropriate for the non-entering rate improvement state, the low entry rate improvement state, and the high entry rate improvement state. For example, in the non-incident rate improvement state, the winning probability of the normal winning lottery may be set to "0%", and in the high entering percentage improvement state, the winning probability of the ordinary hit lottery may be set to "100%" . In addition, the winning probability of the normal winning lottery in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state is the probability (for example, "5%" etc.) close to the non-ball-in-class rate improvement state. In this case, it is possible to more effectively improve the player's interest when the high ball-in-class rate improvement state is given. In addition, the winning probability of the normal winning lottery in the low ball-in-class improvement state recognizes the difference from the high ball-in-class improvement state by making it a probability close to the high ball-in-class improvement state (for example "90%" etc.) In this case, the number of gaming balls to be paid out by the entry of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 13 may be concealed to the player, which is the state of improvement in the percentage of entering the ball. It can be adjusted.

  In addition, a plurality of opening modes of the open / close blades 15 in a normal hit game may be provided for the non-ball entering rate improving state, the low ball entering rate improving state, and the high ball entering rate improving state. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may control the open / close blade 15 to operate in any of the plurality of open modes in the normal hit game. Moreover, in this case, while making the types of open modes that can be determined as the open mode of the open / close blades 15 in the normal hit game the same for each state, the pitch ratio per unit time by making the determination ratio different. May be different. For example, regardless of whether it is a low ball-in-class rate improvement state or a high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the first open mode and the first open mode as the open mode in the normal hit game when the normal win lottery is won. The second open mode in which the period in which the open / close blades 15 are open is longer than the mode can be determined. And, if the normal winning lottery is won in the high entry rate improvement state, it is easier for the opening and closing blade 15 to operate in the second opening mode than in the case of winning the normal hit lottery in the low entry rate improvement state. It is preferable to make the determination rates of the open mode different.

  -Moreover, the number of times of opening and closing of the opening / closing blade 15 in one normal hit game may be changed as appropriate in the non-ball entering rate improving state, the low ball entering rate improving state, and the high ball entering rate improving state. In this case, an interval time (interval between open) from when the open / close blade 15 once becomes closed to open again in one normal hit game may be changed as appropriate. And, in this case, while making the total opening time and opening number of times in one normal hit game the same for each state, the second starting opening 13 per unit time is made different by changing the interval time between opening. The ball entry rate of gaming balls may be made different. For example, if the interval time between open is set shorter than the low ball-in-class improvement state in the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, the ratio of the period during which the open / close blade 15 is closed for Since the number can be reduced, it is possible to improve the ball entry rate of the gaming balls to the second starting opening 13 per unit time.

  -Moreover, in each embodiment, it is not necessary to make the ball entering rate of the game ball to the 2nd starting opening 13 per unit time different about a low ball entering rate improvement state and a high ball entering rate improvement state. In this case, in the low ball-in-class rate improvement state and the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, in the winning probability of the normal lottery, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, the opening time of the opening and closing blade 15 in the normal hit game, and While making the time of the interval between the opening in the case of opening the opening and closing blade 15 plural times the same, the opening aspect of the opening and closing blade 15 in a normal hit game may be made different. That is, for the low ball-in-class rate improvement state and the high ball-in-classification rate improvement state, gains for the player may be the same or substantially the same, and may be different in opening degree of the opening and closing blade 15.

  -The relationship between the type of the jackpot won and the type of the state of improvement in the pitch rate granted after the end of the jackpot may be changed as appropriate. For example, in the first embodiment, when the main control CPU 30a wins the big hit ZA, it gives a high ball-in-class rate improvement state after the end of the big hit game, while it wins the big hit game when it wins the big hit ZB. You may give a low ball-incident rate improvement state after completion. That is, when the jackpot wins with a high degree of advantage, while the improvement in the pitch is improved while the jackpot is elected with a low degree of advantage, the degree of improvement in the ball entry rate with low advantages is obtained. It may be given. According to this, it is possible to further enhance the pleasure when winning a jackpot with a high degree of advantage. In this case, the high ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the first ball entry rate improvement state, and the low ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the second ball entry rate improvement state.

  In addition, for example, in the first embodiment, when the jackpot ZA is won, there may be both when the low ball entry improvement state is provided and when the high ball entry improvement state is provided. Similarly, when the big hit ZB is won, there may be both when the low ball-in-class state improvement state is given and when the high ball-in-classification state improvement state is given. In this case, control is performed such that the percentage of the low ball-in-class state improvement state or the high ball-in-class state improvement state is different depending on when the jackpot ZA is won and when the jackpot ZB is won. Good. That is, the main control CPU 30a only needs to assign the ball entry rate improvement state in different assignment modes according to the type of the big hit, and the type of the big hit and the type of the entry rate improvement state to be given correspond to each other It does not have to be attached.

  In addition, in the first embodiment, the degree of advantage of the jackpot is the number of gaming balls that can be acquired during the jackpot game, but is not limited thereto. For example, the degree of advantage of the jackpot may be the prescribed time of the round game in the jackpot game. In this case, a jackpot with a short round game specification time is likely to cause a situation where the specified number of game balls can not be entered into the large winning opening 14 in the round game as compared to a big hit with a long round game specification time , Can be grasped as a jackpot with a low degree of advantage. That is, in this example, a jackpot having a long round game specification time corresponds to a first jackpot, and a jackpot having a short game time for round games corresponds to a second jackpot.

  Also, for example, the degree of advantage of the jackpot may be defined by whether or not the probability change state is given after the end of the jackpot game. In this case, a big hit that is given a definite change state after the end of the big hit game can be grasped as a big hit having a high degree of advantage as compared to a big hit that does not give a true change state after the big hit game is over. That is, in this example, the jackpot to which the probability change state is given after the end of the jackpot game corresponds to the first jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends corresponds to the second jackpot.

  Also, for example, the degree of advantage of the big hit may be defined by the number of times of operation to which the ball content improvement state is given after the end of the big hit game. In this case, it can be grasped as a jackpot having a high degree of advantage as the number of operations to which the ball entry state improvement state is given after the big hit game is long is long. That is, in this example, the number of activations to which the ball entry rate improvement state is given after the end of the big hit game is large and corresponds to the first jackpot, and the number of actions to be given the ball entry improvement state after the end of the jackpot game The big hit with a small amount corresponds to the second big hit.

In the second embodiment, the relationship between the type of the big hit and the gaming state when winning for the big hit, and the type of the state of improvement in the pitched rate granted after the big hit may be changed as appropriate.
・ For example, when winning a big hit ZA, according to the gaming state when winning a big hit, while varying the type of improvement in the ball loading rate given after a big hit game, when winning a big hit ZB, big hit Regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning, it may be possible to grant a predetermined type of ball-filling rate improvement state.

  Also, for example, when the gaming state when winning a big hit is a definite change state and a low ball entry rate improvement state, the main control CPU 30a gives a low ball entry rate improvement state after the big hit game end while the big hit When the gaming state when winning is a definite change state and a high ball-in-class rate improvement state, a high ball-in-class rate improvement state may be awarded after the end of the big hit game. That is, when the jackpot is won in the gaming state with a high degree of advantage, while the ball packing rate improvement state having a high degree of advantage is given, the advantage is low when the jackpot is won in the gaming state with low degree of advantage. It may be made to be able to give a ball-incident rate improvement state. According to this, it is possible to further increase the sense of expectation for the gaming state having a high degree of advantage. In this case, the low ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the second ball entry rate improvement state, and the high ball entry rate improvement state corresponds to the first ball entry rate improvement state.

  Also, for example, when a big hit is won in the low ball entry improvement state, there may be both when the low ball entry improvement state is given and when the high ball entry improvement state is given. Similarly, when a big hit is won in the high ball-in-class rate improvement state, there may be both when the low ball-in-classfield improvement state is given and when the high ball-in-classification improvement state is given. In this case, one of the low ball-in-class state improvement state and the high ball-in-class phase improvement state is awarded when winning a big hit in the low ball-class improvement state or when winning a big hit in the high ball-level improvement state. It is good to control so that the grant rate of what is different. That is, the main control CPU 30a only needs to grant the ball-population-rate improvement state in a different giving mode depending on the game state when the big hit is won, and the game state when the big hit is won is awarded. The types of rate improvement states may not be associated with each other.

  In the second embodiment, the provision mode of the increase in the ball-class-filling-rate state may be made different depending on whether the gaming state when winning a big hit is a probability change state or a non-determination state. In this case, the non-deterministic change state corresponds to the first gaming state, and the positive change state corresponds to the second gaming state. In this example, the second gaming state corresponds to a high probability state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the first gaming state.

  -In each embodiment, the kind of big hit may be changed suitably. For example, it may be provided with a big hit where no definite change state is given after the end of the big hit game, or a big hit where the percentage improvement in ball pitch is not given.

  In each embodiment, the number of times set as the number of definite variations or the number of operations may be changed as appropriate. For example, the number of definite variations and the number of actuations may be set to different numbers. Further, the number of times set as the number of operations may be varied according to the type of the big hit and the gaming state when the big hit is won.

  In each embodiment, when the number of times of operation is set differently depending on the type of the big hit and the gaming state when the big hit is won, the ball convergence rate is improved according to the number of times of operation set. The type of the state may be identified, and the identified type of ball entry state may be assigned.

  -In each embodiment, the main control CPU 30a, after the end of the big hit game, until the special symbol variation game of a predetermined number of times less than the number of times of operation is finished, the specific pitch rate improvement state among a plurality of ball filling rate improvement states It is also possible to control to give a special ball entry improvement state different from the specific ball entry improvement state after the predetermined number of special symbol variation games are finished. That is, the main control CPU 30a may control so that the type of the ball entry improvement state is changed in the middle of the period until the special symbol variation game of the number of operations ends after the big hit game is over.

-In each embodiment, three or more types of types may be prepared.
Each embodiment may be embodied in a gaming machine (a so-called V probability changing machine) which imparts a definite change state triggered by passage of a game ball through a specific area. Such gaming machines are provided with a specific detection sensor that detects gaming balls passing through a specific area. In this case, when the main control CPU 30a inputs a detection signal indicating that the game ball has been detected by the specific detection sensor during the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a may perform control to give a positive change state after the end of the big hit game. And, at this time, when the main control CPU 30a wins a specific big hit, and when the game detection ball is detected by the specific detection sensor during the big hit game, it gives a low ball entry rate improvement state, while the game ball When no is detected, a high ball-in-class rate improvement state may be given. That is, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the ball entry improvement state according to the type of the big hit and whether or not the definite change state is given after the end of the big hit game, and the ball entry rate improvement state of the specified type. May be given. According to this another example, in the game after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to diversify the game by whether or not the probability change state is provided, and the type of the ball entry improvement state to be provided. In this example, the main control CPU 30a performs control to apply a probability change state based on the input of the detection signal from the specific detection sensor, thereby implementing a high probability state application means.

  Also, in the case where each embodiment is embodied in a gaming machine that imparts a definite change state triggered by passage of a game ball in a specific area, the advantage of the big hit is a big hit in which the game ball easily passes the specific area. It may be defined by whether or not it exists. In addition, in order to make it easy for game balls to easily pass through a specific area or to make it difficult to pass through a plurality of big hits, in the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit, a special winning opening door, a specific area and the specific It is good to make operation modes, such as a distribution member which distributes a game ball to a non-specific field different from a field different. Here, making the operation mode of the distribution member different may be to control according to different operation patterns, or while controlling according to the same operation pattern, at a specified time of round game in the big hit game Accordingly, control may be performed so that the operation of the distribution member is ended in the middle of the above-described operation pattern. In this case, the jackpot where the game ball easily passes through the specific area is a jackpot having a high degree of advantage because a definite change state is easily provided after the end of the jackpot game compared to a jackpot where the game ball does not easily pass through the specific area. I can understand. That is, in the present example, the jackpot where the game ball easily passes the specific area corresponds to the first jackpot, and the jackpot where the game ball does not easily pass the predetermined area corresponds to the second jackpot.

  Each embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that provides a definite change state until the next big hit is given. In this case, it is preferable to provide a big hit that does not give a definite change state. Further, for example, it may be embodied in a pachinko game in which the probability change state is ended in response to the winning of the fall lottery. In addition, the present invention may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that does not have the probability changing function.

  In each embodiment, the sub control board 31 is used as a sub control board, and a display control board that specializes in controlling the effect display device 11 separately from the sub control board 31, a voice control board that specializes in controlling speakers, A lamp control board for specialized control of the decoration lamp may be provided separately. Further, some or all of the display control board, the sound control board, and the lamp control board may be the same board.

  -Each embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine using a plurality of types of special symbols. In this case, the game ball enters the second start hole 13 while the start condition of the special symbol variation game using the first special symbol is established with the game ball entering the first start hole 12 as a trigger. It is good to establish the starting condition of the special symbol variation game using the second special symbol triggered by the ball.

In each embodiment, the game ball may enter the second starting opening 13 even if the open / close blade 15 is in the closed state. In this case, the first start port 12 may be omitted.
-Each embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine using only a special symbol.
