The popular game is played.

  Then, when the common drawing lottery is performed, after the variable display of the normal symbol is performed by the normal symbol display device 7, the finalized display according to the result of the common drawing lottery is stopped and displayed over the fixed display time. In addition, when the drawing is won by the drawing drawing, the drawing drawing game in which the second starting opening 12 (normal electric combination) is opened with the opening pattern according to the gaming state is started.

In addition, although definite display time can be set arbitrarily, for example, it is considered appropriate to set it as about 0.3 to 0.6 second, and it is set as 0.5 second as an example in this embodiment.
Here, the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the open extension state in which the opening time of the second starting opening 12 in the regular game is lengthened due to the ball entering the probability changing entry 15 or the like during the big hit game.

  In the case of the open extension state, the probability of winning in the common drawing lottery increases, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened. In addition, when it is elected in the common drawing lottery, the common drawing game is started when the stop display of the hit design (fixed design) over the fixed display time is made, and in the common drawing game, the second starting opening 12 is 3.6 as an example. It is released for a second (see FIG. 5 (a)). Note that such an opening pattern of the second starting port 12 is described as opening for a long time.

  On the other hand, if the player is not in the open extension state, if he wins in the regular drawing lottery, the general symbol will be displayed when the predetermined waiting time (a time shorter than the final display time, 0.1 second as an example) The figure game is started, and in the regular game, the second starting opening 12 is opened for 0.1 second as an example (see FIG. 5 (b)). Note that such an opening pattern of the second start port 12 is described as opening for a short time.

  Of course, the opening time of the second starting port 12 in the short time opening is not limited to 0.1 seconds and can be arbitrarily determined, but it is preferable to be about 0.07 to 2.5 seconds It is considered to be.

  In addition, the opening pattern in which the second starting port 12 is opened for an opening time longer than 3.0 seconds or an opening time less than 3.0 seconds is a long time opening, and for a time shorter than the opening time. The opening pattern in which the second starting port 12 is opened may be open for a short time.

  Further, when opening for a long time, the second starting opening 12 may be opened over a period in which the player can enter the ball at a high frequency (in other words, a period in which the player can easily enter the ball). On the other hand, in the case of opening for a short time, a period in which the ball is barely able to enter when the game ball has been fired continuously during the variation display of the normal symbol (in other words, the ball becomes difficult to enter) The second start port 12 may be opened over a period of time.

  In addition, the second starting opening 12 is opened and closed within a predetermined period, and the total opening time of the second starting opening 12 in this period is made to be equal to or longer than a predetermined time (the ball can be thrown into the second starting opening 12 at high frequency) The opening pattern is open for a long time, and the second start port 12 is opened for a time less than the predetermined time, and the open pattern that makes it difficult to enter the second start port 12 is also open for a short time. good.

  In addition, when the big hit lottery is done, after the fluctuation indication of the special symbol is done with the 1st and 2nd special view display 9, 10, the decision symbol which responds to the result of the big hit lottery over the decision display time Is stopped. And, in the case of a hit, the big hit game is started from any time point after the stop display of the fixed symbol (hit symbol) is completed, and the first and second big winnings over a maximum of about 28 seconds in each round The ports 20 and 21 are opened (see FIG. 5 (c)).

In addition, the definite display time in the fluctuation display of a normal symbol and the definite display time in the fluctuation display of a special symbol may be the same time, and may be different time.
It is preferable to set the time T1 for the short opening time of the motorized combination to be shorter than the shortest time T2 for the game ball fired from the launch position to reach the motorized combination, and in this case, the determined display time There is no need to wait for the release until Even if the game ball is fired after waiting, there is little time to win a prize, and it is not possible in time to handle the handle operation to change the arrival position of the game ball after waiting. Therefore, the time T1 may be determined in consideration of the shortest time T2.

  On the other hand, the long opening time T3 of the electric combination is longer than the shortest time T2 and is a time when it is possible to win a plurality of game balls, and the shortest time T2 and the maximum number of game balls desired to be won It should be determined in consideration of The opening time of a special electric combination for winning up to 10 game balls in one opening, an electric combination having a specific area such as a jackpot generation opening or a probability change opening in the combination, or the like corresponds to the opening time.

The finalized display time may be any time as long as the player can recognize that the stop of the symbol which has been fluctuating has been decided, and does not disturb the long stop.
Hereinafter, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment will be described.

(2) Main Routine Next, the main routine in the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is activated as a timer interrupt process of 2 ms cycle.

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

In S15, the main control device 80 initializes the CPU, I / O, etc., and shifts the processing to S80.
On the other hand, when an affirmative determination is obtained in S10, main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), updates the big hit determination random number and the random number per common drawing decision (S25), for big hit symbol determination The update of the random number (S30), the update of the hit determination random number (S35), the update of the reach determination random number (S40), and the update of the variation pattern determination random number (S45) are performed.

  Then, the main control device 80 detects the winning of the game ball to the winning opening such as the starting opening and the like (S50), and the success / failure judging processing of performing the big hit lottery due to the winning to the starting opening and the (S55 ), When winning in a big hit lottery, perform a big hit game processing (S60) for playing a big hit game to give the player a predetermined game value. In addition, the common drawing random decision processing which does the common drawing lottery and the like due to the passage of the common drawing gate 22 of the game ball and (S65), the common drawing game by opening the ordinary electric role (the 2nd starting opening 12) (S67), fraud monitoring processing for detecting a player's fraudulent activity (S70), data and commands are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 and the like, and various information to the hall computer 87 etc. And each output process to transmit (S75).

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

This will be described using The present process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main control device 80 generates a winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 based on the detection signal of the first starting opening SW11a and the detection signal of the second starting opening SW12a. Determine if you When the determination is affirmative (S100: Yes), the process proceeds to S105, and when the determination is negative (S100: No), the process ends.

  In S105, main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of pending storages for the special view corresponding to the starting opening where the winning has occurred is less than the maximum value (4 as an example). When the determination is affirmative (S105: Yes), the process proceeds to S110, and when the determination is negative (S105: No), the process ends.

  In S110, main controller 80 is a random number for determining a big hit used for a big hit lottery, a random number for determining big hit symbol for determining a symbol (stop symbol) to be stopped when hit in a big hit lottery, symbol effect Extract a random number for reach judgment to decide whether to reach or not, a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern for special symbol, etc. Then, the extracted random number is stored as pending storage for the special view corresponding to the starting opening where the winning has occurred, and the process proceeds to S115.

  In S115, main controller 80 determines whether the newly generated big hit determination random number related to the pending storage is a specific value (value to be hit in the big hit lottery), and the reach determination random number associated with the pending storage, etc. Pre-reading determination is performed to determine whether or not the value is a specific value (a value to be reached by symbol effect). Then, it generates a prefetch command indicating the result of the prefetch determination and the type of special view (whether it is the first special view or the second special view) corresponding to the pending storage for which the prefetch determination has been performed, and the sub integrated control It transmits to the apparatus 83 (S120).

The sub integrated control device 83 having received the prefetch command stores the prefetch determination result indicated by the prefetch command until the pending storage corresponding to the prefetch command is digested.
In subsequent S125, the main control device 80 generates a pending number command indicating how many pending storages have occurred for the special view corresponding to the newly occurring pending storage, and transmits it to the sub integrated control device 83, This process ends.

  Note that one command may be generated that indicates the number of pending storages corresponding to each special view and the result of the prefetch determination for the pending storage, and the command may be used instead of the prefetch command or the pending count command. .

Further, a command indicating the number of pending storages after the common drawing lottery, the variation time of the normal symbol, and the like is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and this processing is ended.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 17 (a), in S660, which is shifted during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, main controller 80 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal symbol has passed, and in the case of affirmation determination (S660 The process proceeds to S665, and in the case of a negative determination (S660: No), this process ends.

  In S665, main controller 80 ends the variation display of normal symbols by normal symbol display device 7, and starts the stop display of determined symbols of normal symbols according to the result of the common drawing lottery over at least determined display time. . Further, a command indicating that the variable display of the normal symbol has ended or that the stop display of the final symbol has been started is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and this processing is ended.

  Subsequently, with regard to FIG. 17 (b), in S670, which proceeds during stop display of the determined symbol of the normal symbol, the main control device 80 determines whether or not it is in the open extended state, and in the case of positive determination (S670: Yes And the process proceeds to S675, and in the case of a negative determination (S670: No), the process proceeds to S680.

  In S675, main controller 80 determines whether or not the duration of the stop display of the determined symbol has reached the determined display time (0.5 second as an example), and in the case of a positive determination (S675: Yes) The process proceeds to S685, and in the case of a negative determination (S675: No), this process ends.

  On the other hand, in S680, main controller 80 determines whether or not the duration of the stop display of the determined symbol has reached the waiting time (0.1 second as an example), and in the case of a positive determination (S680: Yes And the process proceeds to S685, and in the case of a negative determination (S680: No), this process ends.

  In S685, main controller 80 determines whether or not the regular drawing lottery is hit (whether the final symbol is a hit symbol or not), and in the case of a positive determination (S685: Yes), the processing is shifted to S690, In the case of a negative determination (S 685: No), this processing ends.

  In S690, the main control device 80 sets the opening pattern of the second starting opening 12 in the common game in accordance with the gaming state, and shifts the processing to S695.

[Other embodiments]
(1) If the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is won by a big hit lottery, it will run for a definite display time on the first and second special view display devices 9 and 10 from any point after the symbols have been stopped and displayed. The big hit game is started, and the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 are opened.

  However, for example, a big hit that changes the game state without giving a prize ball, such as a sudden hit, a crash, a fall, etc. by a big hit lottery (The first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 are opened only for a short time in a big hit game In the case of winning the jackpot), after the start of the stop display of the hit symbol, when the waiting time (0.1 second as an example) which is shorter than the fixed display time has elapsed, You may start opening it.

  In addition, for example, even when winning a small hit in the big hit lottery (the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 are opened for a short time without the operation of the character continuous operation device), the hit symbol After the start of the stop display, the opening of the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 may be started when the waiting time has elapsed.

When the player wins a surprise, a crash, a fall, or a small hit, for example, the opening operation of the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 for 0.6 seconds may be performed twice.
On the other hand, if the player wins a big hit (a big hit where the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 are opened for a long time in a big hit game), the first and second special figures are awarded. The opening of the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 may be started from any time after the display device 9 or 10 has hit the display for a fixed display time and the symbol has been stopped and displayed.

By doing this, the first and second large winning openings 20 and 21 can be immediately opened in the event that the player wins a surprise, a crash, a fall, or a small hit, and the flow of the game can be improved. it can.
In addition, when winning in these, the first and second large winning openings 20 and 21 are opened only for a short time, so even when aiming at the first and second large winning openings 20 and 21, a winning ball can be obtained. It is difficult. Therefore, even if the first and second big winning openings 20 and 21 are opened immediately after the stop display of the hit symbol, there is no disadvantage to the player.

  (2) In addition, when the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is won by the drawing drawing lottery in the open extension state, the hit display of the normal symbol over the final display time (0.5 second as an example) is completed. The regular game is started from the second opening 12 is opened. In addition, if it is not in the open extension state, if it wins in the common drawing lottery, the common drawing game is started from the time when the waiting time (0.1 second as an example) has elapsed after the start of the stop display of the hit symbol. The starting opening 12 is opened.

However, regardless of whether or not the game is in the extended extension state, if the player wins in the common drawing lottery, the common drawing game may be started when the waiting time has elapsed after the start of the stop display of the hit symbol.
By doing this, the second starting port 12 is immediately opened when winning the common drawing lottery, and the progress of the game is not impeded by the winning in the common drawing lottery, and the flow of the game is It can be good.

  In addition, if the opening time of the second start opening 12 is short due to the game of a flat figure, or if the winning balls of the second start opening 12 are short, it is necessary to aim the opened second start opening 12 It is low and there is no disadvantage to the player even in such a configuration.

  (3) In addition, the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is configured to include the two large winning openings of the second large winning opening 21 and the first large winning opening 20 provided with the probability variation determination device 13. The present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine 50 provided with one big winning opening.

Moreover, although the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is comprised as what is called a digipachi, this invention can be applied also to the pachinko machine of the model called a common electric terminal machine and a right thing.
In the case where the present invention is applied to a common electric utility machine, as an example, in the left-hand flow down path (or right-hand flow-down area), the first common drawing gate and the first common drawing gate in common drawing lottery It is conceivable to distribute the first ordinary electric combination opened by winning. In addition, the second common drawing gate is arranged on the left flow down path in the game area, and the second common drawing is opened by winning the common drawing lottery performed due to the passage of the second common drawing gate in the right flow falling area. It is conceivable to distribute the electronic part.

  Then, when winning by the first common drawing lottery performed due to the passage of the first common drawing gate, the common drawing at the time when the above-mentioned waiting time has elapsed after the start of the stop display of the normal symbol. It is conceivable to start the game and open the first game player. At this time, the first game player may be opened by the above-described short time opening.

  On the other hand, when winning in the second popular drawing lottery performed due to the passage of the second popular drawing gate, the hit design of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed for the above-mentioned fixed display time, and then the common drawing game starts It is possible to open the second commercial television. At this time, the second game player may be opened by the long time opening described above.

  Further, also when the present invention is applied to a right thing, the first and second common gates and the first and second common electric connectors are arranged in the same manner as in the case where the present invention is applied to a common electric terminal. When winning in the first and second common drawing lottery, it is possible to start the common drawing game at the same timing.

  In addition, the right generating port is provided inside the second normal power combination (or the first normal power combination), and when the second normal power combination (or the first normal power combination) is opened, the gaming ball is in the right generation opening. It may be possible to enter the ball. Then, a bonus may be given to the player due to the approach to the right generation port.

Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
