Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine that performs a lottery to determine whether or not to generate a big hit due to winning at a start opening.

  A pachinko machine that is a ball and ball game machine, when a game ball enters the start opening, a random number value for determining whether or not it is won is extracted, a lottery is performed based on the random number value, and a symbol change is started on the symbol display device. In addition, the result of the lottery is notified by confirming and displaying the symbol on the symbol display device, and if the lottery result is a hit, the big winning opening is opened and a big hit game advantageous to the player is executed. A so-called “digital patch” type is the mainstream.

  In addition, conventional pachinko machines include a type called a blender that fuses a digital pachi and a feather-type pachinko machine, and this blender has a game configuration in which a big hit is determined by the design, as in the case of the digi-pachi type. There are two game configurations, a so-called “feather” game configuration in which a big hit occurs when a game ball enters a specific area provided inside an accessory that is opened under a predetermined condition.

  Such a mixer determines whether or not the game ball has entered the symbol start opening, and when the result of the determination is a big hit, activates the condition device and the continuous accessory actuating device. The same big hit game is performed, and when the result of the determination is a small hit, only the condition device is operated to perform the small hit game that opens the big winning opening for a short time. When a game ball that has entered the big prize opening by this small hit game enters a specific area provided in the big prize opening, the accessory continuous operation device is activated and the big hit game similar to the digital patch is started. Become.

  Further, as a specific game content of such a blender, in a normal state, whether or not the game is successful is determined due to the game ball entering the first starting port. After the jackpot game is over, the normal electric accessory serving as the second starting port is in an open extended state in which it frequently operates, and when entering the second starting port, the probability of winning a small hit is set high. When playing a game, you can enjoy a game that aims at per-symbol, which is a game of digipachi, and a game that aims at per-function, which is the playability of feathers when the release extension function is activated. Yes. <Patent Document 1>

The CR unit terminal board 24 is also connected to the checkout display board 25 so as to be capable of two-way communication. The checkout display board 25 has a ball rental button for requesting rental of game balls and a return for requesting checkout. Button and balance indicator are connected.

  Also, the payout control device 81 transmits information relating to the winning ball, information indicating the open / closed state of the frame (inner frame, front frame), etc. to the hall computer via the external connection terminal 78, and also to the launch control device 84. Send a fire stop signal. In this embodiment, the game balls are paid out. However, the game balls generated in accordance with winnings or the like may be stored without being paid out.

  The launch controller 84 controls the launch motor 30 to launch a game ball. In addition to the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the launch handle, a touch signal from the touch switch 28, and a launch stop signal from the launch stop switch 29. The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the launch handle, the touch signal is output when the player touches the launch handle, and the launch stop switch signal is generated when the player presses the launch stop switch 29. Is output. If the touch signal is not input to the launch control device 84, the game ball cannot be launched, and if the launch stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be launched even if the player touches the launch handle. It has become.

  The sub integrated control device 83 (corresponding to the sub control device of the present invention) includes electrical components such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The CPU executes processing according to a program stored in the mounted ROM, and is input. Based on the input of the game switch 67a and the command input from the main control device 80, various commands related to the effect are generated and output to the effect symbol control device 82.

  Further, the sub integrated control device 83 is provided with a volume adjustment switch 83a for adjusting the volume, detects the state (position) of the volume adjustment switch 83a, determines the detection result and the content to be transmitted to the speaker 66, The sound volume output from the speaker 66 is controlled by software.

  The effect symbol control device 82 displays the effect symbol display based on the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The device 6 is controlled to display effect images such as pseudo symbols. The sub integrated control device 83 and the main control device 80 are configured as a one-way communication circuit from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 via the production relay terminal board 65. The effect symbol control device 82 is configured as a one-way communication circuit from the sub integrated control device 83 to the effect symbol control device 82.

  Next, the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the chart shown in FIG. The pachinko machine in this embodiment has an opening extension function for changing the operation trigger and the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory 16, and two opening patterns of the ordinary electric accessory 16 when the opening extension function is not operated. Yes. Specifically, the normal symbol hit probability is always 95/100 regardless of whether the extension extension function is activated or not, and when the extension extension function is not activated, the probability of 94/100 is the first release for 0.2 seconds once. (Corresponding to the first opening of the present invention) is performed, and the second opening (corresponding to the second opening of the present invention) is performed once for 6.0 seconds with a probability of 1/100. Therefore, even when the opening extension function is not activated, if the second opening is performed with a probability of 1/100, it is possible to easily enter the game ball into the ordinary electric accessory 16.

  When the opening extension function is activated, the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to perform the opening operation for 6.0 seconds once for each hit of the ordinary symbol. The variation pattern (variation time) of the first and second special symbols in the gaming state in which the opening extension function is activated (opening extension state) is a variation pattern selection table used in the gaming state when the opening extension function is not activated. The variation pattern selection table is set to be shorter than the average variation time. As a result, the number of fluctuations of special symbols per unit time when the open extension function is activated is increased (short time state) compared to when the open extension function is not activated. Operates in the same way as start and end.

  It should be noted that when the open extension function is activated, the time reduction function for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (increasing the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time) is also activated. Specifically, the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is not activated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. Yes. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time is increased, and the operation trigger of the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. Therefore, the rate of entrance into the ordinary electric accessory per unit time increases, and the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol increases.

  The jackpot probability of the pachinko machine in this embodiment is 1/199 common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and does not have a probability variation function related to the special figure success / failure determination. The small hit probability is 1/100 for the first special figure, 198/199 for the second special figure, and if the second special figure fluctuates (special figure success / failure determination described later) is performed, the small hit is won with a high probability. . When the first special figure wins the small hit, the second big prize opening 91 performs a release operation of 1.0 second once, and when the second special figure wins the small hit, the second big prize winning opening 91 becomes 0.00. A 25-second opening operation is performed once.

  The winning probability (V winning rate in the table) for the specific area 94 when the first special figure has played a small hit game is approximately due to the winning rate to the second big winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. The probability of winning in the specific area 94 when the second special figure has played a small hit game is about 1/2, depending on the rate of entering the second large winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. It is set to be 16.

  If the first special figure is a big hit with a pattern of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (ratio of 5/10), the first big winning opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds) Or 9 counts). In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

  If the first special figure is a big hit with 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 15 rounds (one round up to 29.0 seconds) Is released or 9 counts), and after the big hit game is completed, the special figure is in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds, short 99 symbols).

  If the second special figure is a big hit with a design of 0, 4, 8 (ratio of 3/10), the first big prize opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open or 9 rounds) Count). In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

  If the first special figure is a big hit with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 (7/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 opens 15 rounds (one round maximum) 29.0 seconds open or 9 counts), and after the big hit game ends, it will be in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds short 99 symbols). Therefore, when the second special figure is a big hit in the symbol, the game shifts to the open extended state after the big hit game ends at a higher rate than the first special figure.

  When the first special figure or the second special figure is a small hit (a ratio of 3/10) with the A, E, and I symbols, the game ball that won the second big winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94. When a bonus hit of an accessory occurs, the first big winning opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening for a maximum of 29.0 seconds or 9 counts per round) for 4 rounds. In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

  A game ball that won the second big prize opening 91 when the first special figure or the second special figure is B, C, D, F, G, H, J with a small hit (ratio of 7/10) When a player hits a specific area 94 and a bonus hit occurs, the first big prize opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening up to 29.0 seconds or 9 counts per round), and a big hit game After the completion, it will be in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (16 rounds in a short 99 time pattern).

  In this embodiment, the value of the jackpot game is the same regardless of whether the bonus hit occurs from either the first special chart or the second special chart. It is conceivable that the player who wins the big hit from the hit will be given an advantageous setting for the player by giving a large number of rounds on average or by increasing the ratio of the short time state. In this way, when a small hit game according to the first special figure is generated while wishing to have a big hit pattern in a normal game, it will be an opportunity to win an advantageous big hit game, which is highly expected It can be a game. Of course, it may be possible to set it to an adverse disadvantage. In that case, the main bonus is to keep the big hit symbol in the normal game, and the bonus bonus by the small bonus of the first special figure is provided as a subordinate. You can also If the value is lowered in comparison, it is possible to increase the small hit probability or increase the winning rate to the specific area 94 as much as the present embodiment.

  By setting the operation content to the above-described content, in the normal game (non-open extended state), the first special figure based on the entrance to the first start port 11 by causing the game ball to flow down to the first game area 3a. If the game proceeds with the lottery as the main game and the symbol big hit occurs in the first special figure, the game ball will flow down to the second game area 3b if it shifts to the open extended state (short time state) after the big hit game with a probability of 50%. The lottery of the second special figure becomes the main game, and after the transition, the open extended state (short time state) is continued with a probability of 70%.

  In a normal game (non-open extended state), the first special figure small hit occurs at 1/100, and the second special figure small hit is 1/100 of the normal symbol and the second open (so-called long open) ) Occurs at a probability of 198/199, it is substantially 1/100 (ordinary symbol). Therefore, chances of winning big bonuses occur with a probability of 1/100 for both the first special figure and the ordinary figure, but the special area 94 winning rate at the time of the small hit game is set to be higher at the small hit of the first special figure. Therefore, it is structured that interest is born in which symbol (first special figure or ordinary figure) to win 1/100 of the winning. Of course, it is also conceivable to make the small hit probability of the first special figure different from the probability of the second opening of the normal symbol.

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

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

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

  When an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), fluctuation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ) Is performed.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), winning in the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, winning in the first big winning port 14, second winning port 91, winning in the general winning port 31, 1 normal symbol operation gate 15, second normal symbol operation gate 17, confirmation of entry into a specific area 94, and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 is executed. . The winning (ball winning) confirmation process (start winning process) for each starting port and working port will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Subsequently, an output determination (S65), an output process such as an image output process (S70), a fraud monitoring process (S75) are performed, and an initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process (S80) is looped.

  Next, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is one of the subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S60) shown in FIG. 5 (including a holding storage means, a prefetch determination means, a holding memory number transmission means, and a winning signal transmission means).

  Thereafter, the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the first start port 11 is the first hold memory, and the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the second start port 12 is the second hold. The holding memory stored when the game ball passes the memory, the first normal symbol starting gate 15 and the second normal symbol starting gate 17 will be described as the normal symbol holding memory. In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of the first reserved memory is four, the upper limit number of the second reserved memory is one, and the upper limit number of the ordinary reserved memory is four.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start port switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number already stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers (big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers 1, 2, small hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers And the like are stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80, and 1 is added to a first reserved memory counter indicating the number of first reserved memories (S110).

  Subsequent to S110, the prefetch determination of the stored first reserved memory is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if it is the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, check whether the value is a value that causes a small hit, and if the big hit value, check the type of the small hit symbol. If it is not a big hit or a small hit, the type of the lost symbol is confirmed (pre-reading judging means).

  Subsequently, based on the prefetch determination result of S115, a first prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110. The number instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). In this embodiment, the first prefetch determination command and the first hold number instruction command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as separate commands. However, the contents of these two commands are generated into one command and the sub command is generated. A configuration for transmitting to the integrated control device 83 is also conceivable.

  Following the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If a negative determination is made (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 1). (S135). If a negative determination is made (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S135: yes), various random values such as success / failure random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number 1, 2 and a small hit symbol determination) A random number, a reach determination random number, a fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc.) are extracted and stored as a second reserved memory in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80, and a second number indicating the number of second reserved memories 1 is added to the hold storage counter (S140), and the pre-reading determination of the second hold storage stored in the same manner as S115 is performed (S145). In this embodiment, since the upper limit number of the second reserved memory is one, only the presence / absence of the second reserved memory may be checked, and the second reserved memory may be stored when there is no second reserved memory.

  Subsequently, based on the determination result of S145, a second prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S150), and a second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S155), and the process proceeds to S160.

  In S160, it is determined whether or not the first normal symbol operation switch 15a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), it is determined whether or not the second normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball. If it is determined (S165), if it is a negative determination (S165: no), return to return. If S160 or S165 is an affirmative determination (S160: yes, S165: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved maps stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 4) (S170). If the determination is negative (S170: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S170: yes), the extracted hit determination random number, the hit symbol determination random number, and the normal pattern variation pattern determination random number are stored as the general map hold memory. Then, 1 is added to the general figure hold memory counter indicating the general figure hold memory counter (S175), and a general figure hold memory number instruction command indicating the value of the added general figure hold memory counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S180), return.

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second reserved memory number instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 83 receives an instruction signal for changing each reserved memory number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the reserved memory number indicated by the received command. This is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol hold memory number display is not performed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the general symbol hold memory number instruction command. A configuration may be adopted in which the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus. Accordingly, it is possible to perform a pre-reading notice that expects the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 (second starting port 12).

  Next, FIG. 7, 8 and 9 will be used to explain the common-use determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment. This process is a process corresponding to the normal / unusual determination of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in operation (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process proceeds to a later-described general electric game process (1). If the determination is negative (S200: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S205). If not (S205: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is being displayed. (S210) If it is not in the definite display (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is a general-purpose hold memory (S215).

  If S215 is affirmative, that is, if there is a general-purpose hold storage (S215: yes), a shift process of the general-purpose hold storage to be determined is performed (S220). As a result, the oldest general-purpose reserved memory is set as a target of the determination of success / failure, and 1 is subtracted from the general-purpose reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories.

  Subsequently, the hit determination random number value of the FIG. Hold storage that is the target of the normal / unusual determination determination is compared with the predetermined determination determination table (95/100), and the random number value to be determined is determined as the correct / incorrect determination table. It is compared with whether or not it matches the determination value (S230).

  Subsequent to S230, it is determined whether or not the comparison result is a hit (same as the determination value) (S240). If the determination is affirmative (S240: yes), it is generally determined based on the value of the determination target hit symbol determination random number. A symbol selection process per symbol is performed (S245). Based on the type of winning symbol determined by the symbol selection process per ordinary symbol, the opening mode of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is either the first opening (one short opening for 0.2 seconds) or the second opening (6.0 seconds). 1 long opening) is determined.

  Subsequently, a fluctuation pattern selection table for selecting a fluctuation pattern is determined with reference to the time reduction flag (S250), and a normal fluctuation pattern selection process is performed based on a random number for determining a normal fluctuation pattern (S255). Based on the variation pattern, a process for starting the variation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display device 7 is performed (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  The time reduction flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, the change time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the time extension state of the normal electric accessory 16 is activated ( If the value is 0, the main controller 80 determines that it is a non-time-short state (non-open extended state).

  If S240 is negative, that is, if the comparison result is out of order (S240: no), referring to the time-short flag (S250), a normal pattern variation pattern selection process for outlier variation is performed (S255), and the selected outlier pattern and variation pattern are selected. Based on the above, a process for starting the variation of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 7 is performed (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  If the determination in S205 is affirmative, that is, if the normal symbol is changing (S205: yes), the flow proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 8 to determine whether the normal symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S255) has elapsed. (S300). If the determination is negative (S300: no), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process. If the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), the normal symbol display apparatus 7 is controlled to display the normal symbol that is the result of the determination of the normal symbol. A confirmed symbol display process is performed (S305).

  Subsequent to S305, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a winning symbol (S310). If a negative determination is made (S310: no), the process proceeds to a general electric game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S310: yes), a time reduction flag. It is determined whether or not is 0, that is, whether it is a normal state (S315), if negative determination (S315: no), proceed to the general electric game processing, if positive determination (S315: yes), a normal display that confirms as a winning symbol It is determined whether or not the symbol type is a winning symbol for performing the second release (S320). If a negative determination is made (S320: no), the process proceeds to a general electric game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S320: yes), a chance to win a bonus hit An instruction signal for displaying “V challenge effect” (corresponding to the effect of prompting the player to enter a specific area of the present invention) to notify that there is an event is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S325), and the process moves to the ordinary electric game process To. The processing of the sub integrated control device 83 when the V challenge effect display instruction command is received and the “V challenge effect” actually displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described later with reference to the drawings.

  Returning to FIG. 7, if S210 is affirmative, that is, if the normal symbol is being confirmed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 9 to determine whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed (S350). If it is determined (S350: no), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the fixed symbol display of the normal symbol display device 7 is terminated (S355), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  The above is the normal / unusual determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 in this embodiment. In this process, when the hit of the ordinary electric accessory 16 to perform the second opening is determined (when the second opening is performed based on the winning of the normal symbol), the V challenge effect display instruction command is sent to the sub integrated control device 83. However, at this time, the start of the fluctuation of the second special figure that occurs with a high probability of small hits is almost assured (the game is entered in the second game area 3b in accordance with the long opening of the ordinary electric accessory 16). If the ball is caused to flow down, the processing is performed based on the fact that a game ball has entered the second starting port 12 almost certainly.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the V challenge effect display instruction command expects a big hit that the first big winning opening 14 is activated when the normal symbol in the normal state hits the predetermined winning symbol (second open symbol). The production will be implemented. At this point, although it is necessary to go through a plurality of stages, it can be said that the expectation of occurrence of big hit (specifically, big hit from the second special figure small hit) is suddenly increased from the normal state.

  Next, the general electric game process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric utility performed based on the hit determination in the common-use determination process (1), and is a process including the operation determination means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second start port 12 is in an open operation (S400). If not in an operation (S400: no), the normal symbol is hit and the symbol is confirmed and displayed. If it is negative (S410: no), it returns. If it is affirmative (S410: yes), it is determined whether the time flag is 0 (S415). If it is affirmative (S415: yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a symbol that implements the first opening (short opening) (S420). If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the ordinary electric accessory 16 is first opened (0. The operation start process is performed (one time for 2 seconds) (S425), the process returns, and if S420 is negative (S420: no), the normal electric accessory 16 starts the second opening (one time for 6.0 seconds). Process (S4) 0) to return. When S415 is negative, that is, when the opening extension function is operating in the short time state (S415: no), the normal electric accessory 16 starts the opening operation (once for 5.0 seconds) in the opening extension state. Processing is performed (S435) and the process returns.

  If the determination in S400 is affirmative, that is, if the normal electric accessory is in operation (S400: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11 to determine whether or not ten game balls have won the normal electric accessory 16 in operation ( If a negative determination is made (S450: no), it is determined whether the operating time of the ordinary electric accessory 16 has ended (S455), and if a negative determination is made (S455: no), the process returns. If S450 or S455 is an affirmative determination (S450: yes, S455: yes), the operation termination process of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is performed (S460), and the process returns.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the special figure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process consists of selecting the first special symbol or the second special symbol depending on the result of the first hold memory and the second hold memory and the result of the appropriateness determination, selecting the variable display time, selecting the fixed symbol, setting the contents of the jackpot game, This is a process for setting the game state after the big hit game ends, and includes the small hit determination means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is in operation, that is, whether the big prize opening is in operation (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process returns and if the determination is negative (S500: no), It is determined whether the first or second special figure is changing (S505). If not changing (505: no), it is determined whether the first or second special figure is being displayed. (S510) If the confirmation display is not in progress (S510: no), it is determined whether or not there is a second reserved memory (S515). If the determination is negative (S515: no), it is determined whether or not there is a first reserved memory. If the determination is negative (S520: no), the process returns. If S515 or S520 is positive (S515: yes, S520: yes), the process proceeds to S525. According to the determination order of S515 and S520, the second reservation storage preferentially determines whether or not it is correct.

  In S525, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0 (S525). If the determination is negative, that is, if it is in the time reduction state and the open extension state (S525: no), the processing in the time reduction state is performed. The selection table of the variation pattern to be selected differs depending on the above, and is not different from the prior art.

  If S525 is affirmative, that is, if it is in a normal state (S525: yes), a hold storage shift process is performed (S530). As a result, the first or second hold memory that is the oldest (the most time has elapsed since the hold is stored) is set as the determination result, and 1 is subtracted from the hold storage counter indicating the corresponding hold storage.

  In the subsequent big hit determination random number comparison process, the big hit determination random number in the reserved memory that is the target of the special figure determination is compared with the preset determination table, and the value of the big hit determination random number is stored in the determination table. It is compared whether it matches the determination value (S535).

  In subsequent S540, it is determined whether or not the result of S535 is a big hit (same as the big hit determination value). If it is affirmation determination (S540: yes), a symbol mode setting process will be performed (S545). In the symbol mode setting process, the content of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game is ended (normal state, short time, open extended state) based on the random number 1 for determining the big hit symbol in the first or second reserved memory to be determined Set the symbol mode to determine

  Subsequently, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 (S550). This is a process of determining a jackpot symbol to be determined and displayed from among the symbol groups set for each type of symbol mode in order to notify the jackpot game type determined by the symbol mode setting by the jackpot symbol.

  Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S545 (S555). The mode buffer is a device for storing the contents of the game state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of determination of the success / failure until the end of the big hit game for setting the game state (the probability change flag for setting the game state during the big hit game, the time reduction flag) Because it is necessary to clear). The mode buffer is configured not to store specific game contents but to store values corresponding to specific game contents.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S545, an opening pattern setting process of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S560), and the reach of the first or second reserved memory as the object of the determination of success / failure Based on the determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number, the variation for selecting the variation pattern that becomes the variation time of the symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 Pattern selection processing is performed (S565).

  Subsequently, the information of the selected jackpot symbol and variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S570). On the basis of the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 and is based on the information on the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol. The pseudo-pattern production variation display is started. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S540 is negative, i.e., lost (S540: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison processing in S535 is a small hit (S580). In the present embodiment, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is set to 1/100, and the second special symbol is set to a high probability of 198/199 (almost every time a small hit is won). If S580 is affirmative (S580: yes), a small hit symbol is selected based on the gaming state and the random symbol for determining the small hit symbol (S585), and then, based on the type of the special symbol that is the target of the winning / failing hand. The opening pattern setting process of the second big winning opening 91 is performed (S560), the above-described variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S565), and the variation instruction command serving as the information on the small hit symbol and the variation pattern is sub The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and corresponds to the first or second special symbol based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. The variation display of the effected design is started. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

  If S580 is negative (S580: no), a lost symbol is selected (S590), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S565), and a variation instruction command that becomes information on the symbol and variation pattern regarding the loss. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts the fluctuating display of the pseudo symbol based on the information of the lost symbol and the fluctuation pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbol.

  Next, if S505 is affirmative, that is, if the special symbol is changing (S505: yes), the flow proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13 and the special symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S565) has elapsed. Whether or not (S600). If a negative determination is made (S600: no), a return is made. If an affirmative determination is made (S600: yes), a confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled. Then, the confirmed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is confirmed and displayed (S605). The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the confirmation command transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the pre-selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82 responds to the signal by the effect symbol display device. 6 is controlled and the pseudo-design is displayed. As a result, the start and end of the fluctuation of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol become the same timing (synchronized).

  Subsequent to S605, it is determined whether or not the first or second special symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is a big hit symbol (S610). If the determination is affirmative (S610). : Yes), display setting processing of a fixed symbol (setting time to be displayed in a fixed symbol) is performed (S615), it is determined whether or not the time flag is 1 (S620), and if affirmative (S620: yes), After the hour flag is set to 0 (S625), the negative determination of S625 or S620 (S620: no) is followed by the condition device operation start processing (S630), the accessory continuous operation device operation start processing (S635), The big hit game is started, a big hit start production instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S450), and a big hit flag is set to 1 (S643).

  On the other hand, if the determination in S610 is negative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S610: no), display setting processing for the confirmed symbol (setting of the time to display with the confirmed symbol) is performed (S650), and the time reduction flag is 1. Whether or not (S655: yes), the time counter is decremented (S660), whether or not the time counter is 0 (S665), and if it is affirmative (S665: yes), the time is shortened. The flag is set to 0 (S670). From S655 to S670, every time the special symbol performs a loss confirmation display according to the determination of success / failure, a time reduction counter that regulates the time reduction (open extension) state is counted, and the gaming state changes when these counters reach a predetermined value. (Time-short (open extended) state ends and shifts to normal state (normally open state)).

  Subsequently, if S670 or S655, S665 is a negative determination (S655: no, S665: no), it is determined whether the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol (S675), and if it is an affirmative determination (S675: yes). ), It is determined whether or not the first special figure is a small hit (S680). If the determination is affirmative (S680: yes), the instruction signal for displaying the “V challenge effect” for notifying that the chance to win a bonus is displayed. The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S685). The effect display instructed in S685 has the same content as the effect display instructed to display in S325 of the common figure determination processing 1 described with reference to FIGS.

  At the time of a small hit of the first special figure (when a small hit game is performed based on the small special winning of the first special symbol), the game ball is launched into the second game area 3b to the second big winning opening 91. Since the winning game ball enters the specific area 94 with a winning probability of about ¼, the number of steps until the bonus hit is reduced is smaller than that at the time of S325, and the sense of expectation that the bonus hit will occur more. It feels close to you.

  The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the V challenge effect display instruction command displays an effect display common to the case where the V challenge effect display instruction command is received in S325 on the effect symbol display device 6. For details of the common effect, see FIG. This will be described later with reference to the drawings.

  Subsequent to S685, the first special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the first special figure small hit game is performed (S690), and if S680 is negative (S680: no), The second special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the small hit game is performed (S695). In addition, if the second special figure hits a small hit in the normal gaming state (because it is in the middle of a series of games from the long opening of the normal figure until the occurrence of the big hit of the bonus through the prize for the ordinary electric accessory 16) A command for instructing the continuation of the “V challenge effect” is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Subsequent to S690 or S695, the small hit flag is set to 1 (S698). Following the negative determination in S698, S643, or S675 (S675: no), a state designation command indicating the gaming state based on the result of the above process is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 12, if S510 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S510: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has passed (S700). (S700: no) Return, and if it is affirmative (S700: yes), a fixed symbol display end process (S705) is performed, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled to display the special symbol. The confirmation display is ended, and an instruction is given to the sub integrated control device 83 to end the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol.

  Next, the special game process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit flag is 0 (S800). If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), it is determined whether or not the value of the small hit flag is 0 (S805). If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative, that is, if a small hit game is being played (S805: no), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG.

  In S850, it is determined whether or not it is during the small hit start interval (S850). If the determination is negative (S850: no), it is determined whether or not the second grand prize winning opening 91 is open (S855). If a negative determination is made (S855: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area 94 is valid (a period in which the accessory continuous operation device operates when a game ball is detected) (S860). If a negative determination is made (S860: no), it is determined whether or not a small hit end effect is being performed (S865). If the determination is affirmative (S865: yes), it is determined whether or not the small hit end effect end time has elapsed (S870). If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), the condition device operation end process is performed, the small hit flag is set to 0 (S875), and the process returns. Similarly, if S870 is negative (S870: no), the process returns. If S865 is negative (S865: no), a small hit start interval start process is performed (S895), a small hit start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the process returns.

  If S850 is affirmative (S850: yes), it is determined whether or not the small hit start interval time has ended (S880). If the determination is affirmative (S880: yes), the second grand prize winning opening 91 is opened (S885), and the specific area 94 is validated (S890). After S890 or if S880 is negative (S880: no), the process returns.

  If the determination in S855 is affirmative, that is, if the second big prize opening 91 is open (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the number of winning prizes in the second big prize opening 91 is less than ten (S900). ), If affirmative determination is made (S900: yes), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second big prize winning opening 91 has ended (S905). If S905 is affirmative (S905: yes) or S900 is negative (S900: no), the second grand prize winning port 91 is closed (S910), and the process returns.

  If S905 is negative (S905: no), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG. 18 to determine whether or not the specific area switch 94a has detected a game ball (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), it is determined whether the specific area validation period has ended (S1015). If the determination is affirmative (S1015: yes), a small hit end effect process is performed (S1020). In this small hit end effect process, a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the small hit end command produces an effect on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82 (contents for notifying that the small hit game has ended without causing a bonus hit) Is displayed.

  If the determination in S950 is affirmative, that is, if the game ball has entered the specific area 94 (S950: yes), the operation starting process of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S955), and whether or not the second big prize opening 91 is open. If it is determined (S960) and affirmative determination is made (S960: yes), the second grand prize winning port 91 closing process is performed (S965).

  After S965 or if S960 is negative (S960: no), the small hit symbol is referred to (S970), and based on the type of the referenced symbol, the contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game (normal state) , Time reduction, open extension state) is set (S975), mode buffer setting processing (contents common to S555) is performed based on the set symbol mode (S980), and based on the symbol mode set in S975 The opening pattern setting process of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is executed (S985), the specific area invalidation process is executed (S990), and the big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 ( S1000), the jackpot flag is set to 1 (S1005), and the game shifts to a bonus hit (special game). Subsequent to the negative determination in S1005, S1020, or S1015 (S1015: no), the small hit flag is set to 1 (S1010) and the process returns. This is the processing configuration related to the small hit game.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 15, if S800 is negative, that is, if the big hit flag is set (S800: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 19 to determine whether or not the first big winning opening 14 is open (S1050). ), If it is a negative determination (S1050: no), it is determined whether or not it is during the interval between releases (S1055). If a negative determination is made (S1055: no), it is determined whether or not a big hit end effect is being performed (S1060), if a negative determination is made (S1060: no), it is determined whether or not a big hit start effect is being performed (S1065), and if a positive determination is made (S1065: yes), it is determined whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S1070). If the determination is negative (S1070: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1070: yes), the first grand prize winning opening 14 is released. (S1075) It returns.

  If S1055 is affirmative (S1055: yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has ended (S1085). If it is negative (S1085: no), the process returns. If it is affirmative (S1085: yes), the first big prize opening. 14 is released (S1090) and the process returns.

  If S1065 is negative (S1065: no), a big hit start effect process is performed (S1080), and the process returns. In the big hit start effect process (S1080), a big hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

  If S1050 is an affirmative determination (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 20 to determine whether or not the number of winnings to the first big winning opening 14 has satisfied a prescribed number of nine (S1100), and if it is a negative determination (S1100). : No), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). If the determination is negative (S1105: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1105: yes) or if the determination of S1100 is affirmative (S1100: no), the first big winning opening 14 is closed (S1110). It is determined whether or not the round has ended (S1115). If the determination is affirmative (S1115: yes), a big hit end effect process is performed (S1120) and the process returns. If the determination is negative (S1115: no), the interval process between releases is performed (S1125) and the process returns.

  In the big hit end effect process (S1120), a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and in the interval processing between releases (S1125), the interval command is similarly transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the big hit end command or the interval command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

  Returning to FIG. 19, if S1060 is affirmative determination, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S1060: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 21 to determine whether it is the end time of the big hit end effect (S1150). (S1150: no) It returns. If S1150 is affirmative (S1150: yes), an accessory continuous operation device stop process (S1155), a condition device operation stop process (S1160) are performed, the set mode buffer is referenced (S1165), and the referenced mode buffer Based on the contents of the game, the time flag and the time counter are set (S1170, S1175), the mode buffer is cleared (S1180), and the end command and the state designation command for instructing the game state after the end of the big hit game are sub-integrated control The data is transmitted to the device 83 (S1185, S1190), the big hit flag is set to 0 (S1195), and the process returns.

  Next, the hold number instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. When this process is started, it is determined whether a hold number instruction command is received (S1200). If the determination is negative (S1200: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1200: yes), depending on the type of the hold count instruction command received by the first hold count counter or the second hold counter included in the sub integrated control device 83. +1 (S1205), a hold number display signal is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1210), and the process returns. The value of the hold count counter is decremented each time a change instruction command is received in a change instruction command reception process described later. As a result, the same number as the number of reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is managed.

  In addition, due to the characteristics of the mixer, if the second special figure has a holding memory function, there is a possibility that a small hit for the number of holdings will occur even after the short-time game has ended. Since the winning rate for the specific area 94 is higher than that of the second special figure, if it is intended to avoid this, it is desirable that the second special figure does not have a reserved memory. However, in the gameability of the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the second special symbol may be released when the first special figure is variably displayed. In this case, there is a possibility that the lottery of the second special figure cannot be performed. is there. In order to avoid this, it is possible to secure the opportunity for the lottery of the second special drawing by providing the second holding memory function. If the reserve storage function is provided for the purpose as described above, if the reserve upper limit number is smaller than that in the first special figure, the number of small hits for the number of reserves can be reduced. This is preferable.

  Next, the change instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process selects an effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in response to receiving the change instruction command based on the process of S570 from the main control device 80, and instructs the effect symbol control device 82 to perform display control. It becomes processing.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a change instruction command has been received (S1250). If the determination is negative (S1250: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1250: yes), a random number is extracted (S1255). Based on the instruction command and the value of the distribution random number extracted in S1255, an effect change mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the effect change modes provided in the sub integrated control device 83 (S1260). The instruction signal for starting the display of the effect variation mode is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1265), and the process returns.

  Next, the V challenge effect display instruction command receiving process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. The V challenge effect display corresponds to an effect that prompts entry into a specific area of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a V challenge effect display instruction command has been received (S1300). If the determination is negative (S1300: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1300: yes), an instruction signal for displaying the V challenge effect on the effect symbol display device 6 is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1305), and the process returns.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, an effect display example including the V challenge effect described above in the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 25 (1) shows the basic configuration of the effect symbol display device 6 screen at the time of special symbol change in the normal state, a pseudo symbol display area is arranged at the center of the screen, the first reserved memory number display area at the bottom left of the screen, A second reserved memory number display area capable of displaying one reserved symbol is arranged on the right. Up to four reserved symbols representing the first reserved memory are displayed in the first reserved memory number display area. In the pseudo-symbol display area, the left, right, and right pseudo-symbols perform variable display according to the variation time of the special symbol.

  FIG. 25 (2) is based on the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S685 (FIG. 13) of the special figure success / failure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 when the first special figure is a small hit. This is a display example of the “V challenge production” to be performed. Specifically, the display content is displayed in the center of the screen with a plate with the character string “V-challenge” on it, and “right-handed” and a right-pointing arrow are displayed twice on the top of the plate. The game ball is strongly urged to fire, a character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, and a pseudo small hit symbol is reduced and confirmed in the lower right corner of the screen.

  FIG. 25 (3) shows the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S325 (FIG. 8) of the normal / bad determination process 1 executed by the main control device 80 when the normal symbol makes the second release. This is a display example of “V challenge production” performed based on this. The difference from (2) is only that the fluctuating pseudo symbol is displayed in the lower right part of the screen, and other than that, the effect display is common contents.

  In this way, it is possible to determine which V-challenge is determined by looking at the effect display at the time of small hit of the first special figure and the second opening of the normal symbol, and it is difficult to distinguish on the effect display. You may comprise. However, since it can be determined immediately after the performance is performed whether the ordinary electric accessory 16 operates or the first big prize opening 14 operates, the difficult time is short. Even though it is a short period of time, the player's expectation swells just by making it seem like a small hit of the first special figure even for a moment, so that it is possible to produce a highly expected performance. Even with a discriminable configuration, it is difficult to tell which production has occurred immediately (for example, the part that can be discriminated is extremely small), so that it is possible to produce a production with high expectation as well.

  FIG. 26 (4) shows that the game ball enters the second starting port 12 (ordinary electric accessory 16) from the state (3) (the normal symbol is won with the second open symbol), and occurs with a high probability. 2 is a display example at the time of winning the special figure win, and in this case, a signal instructing the continuation of the V challenge effect transmitted in S695 (FIG. 13) of the special figure success / failure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 The display of the effect is performed based on the reception, and the appearance is a situation in which the “V challenge effect” is continuously performed from the usual second open win.

  Specifically, the “V Challenge” plate and the “Right-handed arrow” display are the same as those in FIG. 25 (3), but the “Big prize opening (bottom) will open at the top of the plate. Please do "is displayed.

  FIG. 26 (5) shows an example of an effect display when a game ball enters the specific area 94 during the small hit game. In this case, a large “V” is displayed at the center of the screen, a character string “V Challenge Success!” And a smiling character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) are displayed at the top of the screen. This display is common to the small hit of the first special figure and the small hit of the second special figure.

  FIG. 26 (6) is a display example in the case where the game ball cannot be entered when the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is performed. When the regular figure is won with the symbol that opens the second, as shown in Fig. 25 (3), the second special figure will be displayed on the premise that the second special figure will be a small hit, but the second opening is implemented If it is not possible to enter the ordinary electric accessory 16 (if the second special figure cannot be changed), the challenge failure effect shown in the figure is displayed.

  Specifically, a large “x” is displayed at the center of the screen, and a character string “V challenge failed” and a character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) with an unfortunate expression are displayed at the top. Even if a small hit game is executed, a similar display effect may be performed even if a game ball cannot be entered in the specific area 94 (first special figure small hit, second special figure small hit). Can be shared). In this case, a common display effect is provided for the failure to enter the normal electric accessory 16 and the failure to enter the specific area 94 in the first special figure small hit and the second special figure small hit.

  The above is the description of the first embodiment. By adopting the game specifications of the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-short-time (non-open extension) state), a game (first first prize opening 14 or second game) in which the first special figure is changed while changing the normal figure. The main goal is to activate the winning prize opening 91), and when the first special figure hits the big hit, there is a 50% chance that the time will be shortened (open extension), and the game will change the second special figure during the short time state. If the second special figure hits the symbol big hit or the big hit in the short time state, the short time state is continued with a probability of 70%.

  In the normal gaming state, the first special figure has a 1/100 chance of winning, and the normal figure is 1/100 and the second opening is selected to determine whether the second special figure is successful. In this case, since the second special figure wins a small hit at 198/199, the small special hit of the second special figure will also occur at a substantial 1/100 against the determination of whether or not the normal figure changes in the normal state. Become. Therefore, for the small hits ("V Challenge" in this embodiment) aiming at the big hit of the feature, the type of the pattern differs between the first special figure and the normal figure for both the first special figure and the second special figure, but substantially 1/100. Occurs.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the normal winning state (non-short-time (non-opening extended) state) and the first special figure are different from each other in the different symbols (per-second opening per first figure and the first special figure). With the special figure small hit) as an opportunity, the same effect display that expects a big hit of the actors is configured, but even with the same effect display, the probability of entering the specific area at the time of the small hit game is the first Since the special hits are higher at the time of small hits, there is an interest in which “V Challenge” is related to which of the small hits.

  Next, Example 2 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the second embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same as the contents, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The difference from the first embodiment is that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not a normal figure is present, and that the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of a normal figure is made common regardless of the gaming state. Become. Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 27 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a probability, and if the ordinary figure is won at any probability of normal or not, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens 5.0 seconds once.

  Note that the probability of normal / unusual change changes at the same timing as the transition to the short-time (open extension) state. Specifically, in the short-time (open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-short time (non-open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a normal probability (1/100).

  FIGS. 28 and 29 are flowcharts showing the normal / unusual determination processing 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment. The difference from the normal map success / failure determination process 1 described in the first embodiment is that there are two types of normal map success / failure determination probabilities, a normal probability and a high probability, depending on the value of the general map probability variation flag. When the normal figure winning / notifying determination is won in the normal state (short time flag = 0, universal figure probability changing flag = 0), the “V challenge effect” display instruction command is unconditionally given to the sub integrated control device 83. (In the first embodiment, it is transmitted only when the determination of whether or not a normal figure is won is the second open win).

  More specifically, in the normal map success / failure determination process 2, when the hold memory shift process (FIG. 28, S 1370) corresponding to S220 of the general map correct / failure determination process 1 is performed, it is determined whether or not the (normal map) probability change flag is 0. If (S1375), if affirmative determination (S1375: yes), comparison processing of random numbers for common figure determination is performed using the low probability determination table used in the normal state (S1380), if negative determination (S1375: no), high probability Using the high probability determination table used in the (time reduction, open extension) state, the routine determination random number comparison process is performed (S1385).

  Further, in FIG. 29 of the normal figure success / failure determination process 2 corresponding to FIG. 8 of the normal figure success / failure determination process 1, if the fixed figure displayed is the winning symbol (S1460: yes), it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0. If it is affirmative (S1465: yes), an instruction command for displaying a “V challenge effect” for notifying that it is a chance to win a bonus is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S1470).

  In the present embodiment, the probability variation flag is used to determine the determination probability at the time of the execution of the normal / unusual determination process 2 (general), but the probability (low time, short time if the short time flag = 0) is based on the value of the short time flag. If flag = 1, high probability) may be determined.

  By determining whether the normal symbol is successful or not, it is not necessary to provide the first opening (short) and the second opening (long) as in the first embodiment, and every time the normal drawing is won in the normal state. "V challenge production" can be implemented.

  FIG. 30 shows the ordinary electric game process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment. Unlike the ordinary electric game process 1 in the first embodiment, the normal state is the normal state at the time of the symbol fixed display per universal symbol. By performing the ordinary electric operation starting process (S1515), the ordinary electric accessory 16 always performs one kind of opening pattern. In the present embodiment, the open pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to 5.0 seconds which is common in the open extended state and the non-open extended state, so regardless of the game state (without determining the value of the time reduction flag) You may perform a general electric operation start process.

  FIG. 31 is a part of a flowchart of the special game process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 21 of the special game process 1 described in the first embodiment. Specifically, the end of the big hit game This is a process of setting the game state after the end of the big hit game determined by the game state at the time of winning and the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol at the time of determining whether or not to win the special figure.

  The difference from the special game processing 1 of the first embodiment is S1570 and S1575, and the setting of the common figure change flag after the big hit game and the setting of the probability change counter (setting the same value as the time-shortage counter) are performed (high probability state transition) means).

  FIG. 32 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the second embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 32 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (3) of the first embodiment, but the display timing is at the time of all wins in the normal state in the normal state, specifically FIG. This is executed when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command of S1470. The display content at the time of the second special figure small hit after the normal drawing winning in FIG. 32 (2) is the same as that in FIG. 26 (4) of the first embodiment.

  The above is the description of the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the probability of success / failure determination of the normal map changes, and as a result, when the normal map is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first release (short open) and the second release ( Long Open) is no longer necessary, and when a normal figure is won in a normal state, a “V challenge effect” can be performed every time.

  Next, Example 3 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the third embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the first special figure does not have a small hit (the big hit is only generated for the second special figure), and the big hit different from the first and second examples. It is a point provided with a game (the opening mode of the first big winning opening 14 is different from the number of time savings after the end of the big hit game). Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 33 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is that there is no setting of the first special figure in the columns of “small hit probability”, “small hit game”, and “actual bonus hit”, and “first special figure for symbol big hit” The number of types of jackpot games has increased in the column of “”, and it has become 3 types. The normal hit probability and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of winning are the same as in the first embodiment (the probability does not vary, and normally there are two types of opening patterns), so the normal state When the normal figure is won with the 2nd open symbol, the 2nd special figure will change and you can expect the big hit of the feature ("V Challenge Direction" will be implemented).

  The type and content of the big hit game (big hit game setting means) when the first special figure of the present embodiment, which is different from the first and second embodiments, wins the symbol big hit will be described along the content of FIG. When the first special figure is a big hit with 2, 4, 6, 8 (4/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open) Or 9 counts). In this case, after the big hit game is over, the state does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (the ratio is different from the first and second embodiments).

  If the first special figure is a big hit with 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 15 rounds (one round up to 29.0 seconds) After the big hit game is completed, the time is reduced (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (the same contents as in Examples 1 and 2 including the ratio).

  When the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 0 (1/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening up to 6.0 seconds or 9 counts per round) After the big hit game, the time is reduced (open extended state) until the special figure changes four times (contents not provided in the first and second embodiments).

  In this example, if the first special figure hits a big hit with the symbol of 4 times in 2 rounds in the normal state, after the big hit game, the special figure will be in the short time (open extension) state until the special figure fluctuates 4 times. It is desirable for the game structure to keep the state of short time (open extension) until the second special figure fluctuates four times, while the upper limit of the second reserved memory number is one (the second special figure fluctuates four times) In order to carry out the time reduction (open extension extended state) until this time, the time reduction function of the present embodiment is set with the contents shown in FIGS. In this embodiment as well, the second special figure is configured to start the fluctuation (perform special figure success / failure determination) in preference to the first special figure.

  FIG. 34 is Chart 1 showing the time reduction function of the third embodiment, and shows details of the time reduction number contents set for each jackpot symbol. Specifically, if the first special figure is a big hit with 4 rounds, the time setting is not performed, but if the 2nd round is a big hit with 4 rounds, one of the three conditions Setting is made such that the time-short (open extension) state is maintained until it is satisfied. Specific conditions are: (1) until the first special figure fluctuates up to 20 times, (2) until the second special figure fluctuates up to four times, (3) the first special figure and the second special figure are total When the game ball is caused to flow down to the second game area 3b in the short time (open extension) state, the change in the first special figure remains only in the first reserved memory, (2) When the above condition is satisfied, the time reduction (open extension) state ends, so even if the upper limit of the second reserved memory number is one, the time is reduced until the second special figure changes four times after the big hit game ends. The (open extension) state is maintained.

  Therefore, if the first special figure wins a big hit with 2 rounds of short-time 4 times, you will expect a shorter time when the 2nd special figure fluctuates 4 times after the big-hit game, rather than a game with the big hit. .

  By doing so, there is a case in which the reserved memory of the first special figure remains when the shift to the time saving state is made for the first time from the big hit at the normal game. If an attempt is made to give an extremely short time of 4 times as in this embodiment, the remaining first special figure may be digested with the reserved memory of the remaining first special figure. It is not possible to carry out the times stably. Therefore, by setting in this way, the second special figure fluctuates four times even if there is an on-hold memory remaining in the first special figure, or even if the first start port 11 is accidentally entered even if the time is short. It becomes possible to ensure a short time state until it is done. However, if the maximum number of times in the first special figure and the total maximum number of times are increased too much, there is a possibility that it will be possible to obtain a lottery with the first special figure as it is, so it is necessary to provide so that the advantage does not reverse to the last There is.

  In the normal state, the conditions of (1), (2), and (3) described above are applicable in all cases, including bonus hits, in the case of setting the number of times that the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 4 times in the second round. Each is set to 99 times.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the first special figure is a big hit with four rounds of 4 rounds, there is a chance of winning a bonus from the second special figure small hit. Therefore, when the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 4 rounds in 2 rounds, the “V challenge production” common to the contents described in the first and second embodiments is implemented.

  FIG. 36 shows a part of the special figure determination processing 3 executed by the main controller 80 in this embodiment, and corresponds to the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 13 in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, when the first special figure does not have a small hit and the first special figure is a big hit with two rounds of 4 times in a short time, the “V challenge effect” is implemented. It becomes a processing part.

  Based on the fact that the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed, the operation of the condition device and the accessory continuous actuating device is started (S1680, S1585), and then it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is the first special symbol 2 rounds 4 times short ( If a positive determination is made (S1690) (S1690: yes), a “V challenge effect” display instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1675), and 1 is set in the big hit flag (S1705). If S1690 is negative (S1690: no), a big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1700), and a big hit flag is set to 1 (S1705).

  As a result of this processing, when a big hit of a predetermined symbol (4 rounds in 2 rounds) occurs in the first special figure, the V challenge effect described above is performed. In this embodiment, the V-challenge effect is started only when the predetermined special jackpot symbol (2 rounds, 4 times short) of the first special figure is displayed, and the V-challenge effect is used instead of the jackpot final effect. Done.

  In this embodiment, the time reduction is 4 times, so that the V challenge is performed 4 times continuously with high probability. For this reason, it may be possible to display “V challenge × 4!” Or “V challenge first time” to “V challenge last!”, Which is different from other examples. In addition, by providing not only four times, but also once, twice, three times, etc., it becomes possible to provide V-challenges with various expectations.

  Further, when a small hit (in this embodiment, the small hit is only the second special figure) occurs in the normal state, also in the present embodiment, the second opening of the ordinary electric accessory 16 causes the second start port 12 to play a game. Since the ball is considered to have entered the ball, the “V-Challenge Production” continues (from when the ordinary figure is won with the second open symbol, or when the first special symbol is won with the predetermined jackpot symbol) A command for instructing (continuation) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1745).

  FIG. 37 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the third embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 37 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (2) of the first embodiment (however, a predetermined pseudo jackpot symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen), but the display timing is in a normal state. Executed when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command of S1695 in FIG. Is done.

  The above is the description of the third embodiment. In this embodiment, when a big hit is made with a predetermined jackpot symbol (4 rounds in 2 rounds), instead of performing a decisive effect of the big hit that can not be expected, the number of hits from the bonus hit in the short time after the big hit ends It is the composition which performs “V challenge production” which expects 2 special drawing consecutive houses. Furthermore, since the time-shortening function described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35 is provided, the second special figure always changes four times after the big-hit game of the predetermined big-hit symbol (two rounds of short-time four times), The small hit of the second special figure occurs four times. Therefore, there are four chances of winning big bonuses, and the “V Challenge Directing” won by winning a predetermined jackpot symbol (four times in 2 rounds) compared to the “V Challenge Directing” from the second open symbol win , Expectation is very high.

  Next, Example 4 will be described. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the fourth embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant description is omitted.

  The present embodiment relates to the game state with respect to the configuration of the third embodiment in that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not to determine a normal figure, and an opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of a normal figure. This is a common point (same as the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

  FIG. 38 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 33 of the third embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a high probability, and the normal electric accessory 16 opens once for 5.0 seconds if the ordinary figure is won at any probability.

  Note that the probability of normal / unusual change changes at the same timing as the transition to the short-time (open extension) state. Specifically, in the short-time (open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-short time (non-open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a normal probability (1/100).

  The above is the description of the fourth embodiment. As described above, the difference from the third embodiment is that the probability of determining whether or not the normal map is correct changes. As a result, there is no small hit of the first special figure, and the predetermined pattern of the first special figure (four rounds in two rounds) ), When the big win is won, instead of the big hit production, the “V challenge production” is performed, but when the normal figure is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first opening (short opening) and the second Since there is no distinction between two open (long open), every time the usual figure wins, a “V challenge effect” can be performed.

  Next, Example 5 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the fifth embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant description is omitted.

  The present embodiment has a configuration in which the operation contents of the first embodiment and the operation contents of the third embodiment are combined. The first special figure has a small hit, and the first opening (short opening) is provided in the normal state in the normal state. There is a winning symbol to perform and a winning symbol to perform the second opening (long opening) (Example 1), and as a big winning symbol of the first special figure, a predetermined big winning symbol that implements four rounds of big hit game in two short times Example 3) is also included.

  The chart of FIG. 39 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment. The specific contents are almost the same as the contents of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, and the difference is that the contents and types of the big hit game at the time of the big jackpot of the first special figure are the same as the contents of the third embodiment. It becomes a point. In this embodiment, since there is a bonus hit from the first special figure jackpot, the contents of the short time set at the end of the bonus hit is the contents shown in FIG. 40, and the other jackpot game ends. The contents of the setting of the number of hours and hours are the same as the contents described in FIGS. 34 and 35 of the third embodiment.

  By changing the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment shown in the chart of FIG. 39, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned “V challenge production” is the second opening of the usual figure when the first special figure is won by the small hit. At the time of symbol winning, it is possible to carry out in a total of three places at the time of winning the predetermined big hit symbol of the first special figure (symbols of 4 times in 2 rounds).

  As a result, when the 1st special figure small hit occurs, the “V challenge” (the small hit game where the 2nd big prize winning opening 91 operates) is once, and when the 2nd open symbol wins the usual figure, the “V challenge” is 2 at the maximum. If the first special figure is a big hit with a predetermined big hit symbol (4 times the number of short times in 2 rounds), until the second special figure fluctuates at least four times, in other words, the small hit of the second special figure Will continue the “V Challenge” until it occurs 4 times.

  Therefore, for the player, the “V challenge effect” that appears at the jackpot of the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (4 times the number of short times in 2 rounds) is a highly promising effect period, Since the entrance rate is higher for the small hits of the first special figure, the game will also have a high degree of expectation when the first special figure is a small hit. In this way, by providing small hits with various opportunities, it is possible to win big bonuses with various patterns and to enrich game play.

  Next, Example 6 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the sixth embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same as those in the first embodiment, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  In the present embodiment, in relation to the configuration of the fifth embodiment, a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not to determine the normal figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of the normal figure is related to the gaming state. This is a common point (same as the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

  FIG. 41 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 39 of the fifth embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. In this embodiment, the probability of determining whether or not a normal figure is normal and high. There is a probability, and if the ordinary figure is won at any probability of normal or not, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens 5.0 seconds once.

  Also in the present embodiment, the probability of normal-use success / failure changes at the same timing as the transition to the short time (open extension) state. Specifically, in the short-time (open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-short time (non-open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a normal probability (1/100).

  The above is the description of the sixth embodiment. As described above, what is different from the fifth embodiment is that the probability of determining whether or not to determine the usual figure changes, and accordingly, when the small winning of the first special figure is won and the predetermined figure (two round times 4 The “V challenge production” can be performed every time when the normal figure is won in the normal state (in the low probability state), while the configuration is such that “V challenge production” is performed when the big win is won.

  The above is the description of the embodiment. The pachinko machine of any of the examples is configured to have a bonus jackpot from the symbol big hit and the small hit, and the pachinko machines of the first, third, and fifth examples are “variable prizes when the universal figure win / fail judgment is won. A configuration including an operation determination means for determining whether the device (ordinary electric accessory 16) is operated with the first opening that makes it difficult to enter the ball or whether the operation is performed with the second opening that makes it easy to enter the ball. On the other hand, the pachinko machines of Examples 2, 4 and 6 do not have an operation determination means, and instead, “the probability of winning the normal winning / decision determination after the big hit game is higher than the normal probability state is high. “High probability state transition means for shifting to a probability state” is provided.

  In addition, the pachinko machines of the first, second, fifth, and sixth embodiments are provided with “small hit determination means that wins a small hit of the second special symbol with a higher probability than a small hit of the first special symbol”. A common configuration is such that the small hit game based on the small winning combination of the special symbol and the small hit game based on the small winning combination of the second special symbol are set to have different entrance rates to the specific area.

  In addition, the pachinko machines of Examples 3, 4, 5 and 6 set “the contents of the jackpot game and the implementation period of the open extension means according to the type of the jackpot symbol on which the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed. When the jackpot game setting means is set, and when the opening extension period (number of time reductions) is set at the end of the jackpot game, “the first setting for ending the opening extension means when the predetermined display number of the first special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, (2) A second setting for ending the opening extension means when the number of fixed display of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, and an opening extension means when the total number of fixed display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches the predetermined number of times. "Open extension period setting means for performing the third setting to be completed".

  In the embodiment, when an opportunity to enter a specific area 94 (opportunity for hitting a bonus item) occurs, in each case, the “V Challenge” effect common to the appearance was performed. Depending on the difference, the display content of the “V challenge” effect may be different, and in that case, the display content may be changed according to the expected degree of occurrence of the big hit from the “V challenge” to be performed.

  In this case, for example, in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth examples, when a big hit occurs in a predetermined big hit symbol (four times the number of short times in two rounds) in the first special figure, the expected period is another “V 4 times longer than “challenge”, “ultra-v challenge”, and in cases 1, 2, 5 and 6, if the first special figure hits a “super-v challenge”, examples 1, 3, and 5 The “V-challenge” may be used when the second open symbol is won and the symbols are won in Examples 2, 4 and 6 (both in the normal gaming state).

  In addition, during the small hit game of the first special figure of the first and fifth embodiments, the common figure is won with the second open symbol, and during the small hit game of the first special figure of the second and sixth embodiments. In the case of winning, a configuration may be considered in which the “V challenge” effect (effect that prompts entry into the specific area) is switched to “effect that encourages entry into the specific area”.

  This configuration is subject to change even during the small bonus game of the first special figure that is being implemented as a “V Challenge”, so there may be cases where the special figure is won with the second open symbol during the small bonus game. In case of the selection, a special “V-challenge” will be carried out several times in succession (after the first special figure is hit, then the second special figure will be consecutively generated). The purpose is to make it appear as if a “V Challenge” has occurred. With this configuration, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation when small hits occur continuously in rare cases.

  In addition, if there is a holding memory that is a small hit in the first holding memory during the small hit game of the second special figure, the “V challenge” effect (based on the pre-determined determination) A configuration may be considered that switches to an “effect that prompts entry into a specific area”, which is different from the effect that promotes. In the case of this configuration, in the situation where the small hit of the second special figure is performed first, the small special hit of the first special figure having a higher probability of winning in the specific area 94 is subsequently executed. It becomes the structure which alert | reports previously. This configuration can further increase the player's sense of expectation when small hits with higher expectation of occurrence of big hits are consecutive.

  In addition, there should be a common effect for informing in advance about the small bonus of the first special figure, the predetermined big bonus symbols of Examples 3, 4, 5, and 6 (two rounds of 4 times short symbol), and normal symbols. Is also possible. For example, if a symbol (for example, roulette) different from the special symbol production symbol is displayed and whether or not the V challenge is generated there, the V challenge is generated by a lottery different from the special symbol lottery. It can be shown as if the big hit by the design and the big hit by the small hit can be clearly separated.

  As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present invention, it becomes a gaming machine capable of giving a chance for a plurality of actors having different degrees of advantage together with a big hit of a symbol, and a common figure and a normal electric accessory and a plurality of It can be applied to a bullet ball game machine having a special figure and generating a big hit from a small hit.
