  The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a probability fluctuation state of a big hit lottery as a gaming state advantageous to the player. A big hit lottery probability fluctuation state (high probability state) is a gaming state in which the big hit probability of winning the big hit in the big hit lottery is changed to a high probability compared to the gaming state (low probability state) which is not the big hit lottery probability changing state. It is. In the present embodiment, the probability fluctuation state of the jackpot lottery is given until a predetermined probability fluctuation termination condition is satisfied. In the following description, the term “probability fluctuation state” or simply abbreviated “probability state” refers to the probability fluctuation state of the jackpot lottery, and the “non-probability state” or the abbreviation “non-probability state”. In the case of showing "," it refers to the gaming state which is not the probability fluctuation state of the big hit lottery.

  The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a high base state as a gaming state advantageous to the player. The high base state is a game state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start winning opening 22a than the low base state which is not the high base state (a ball entry rate improvement state). The high base state is a so-called "power support state".

  For example, the high base state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is the fluctuation time shortening control of the common drawing game in which the fluctuation time of the common drawing game is shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is probability fluctuation control of a regular hit lottery that changes the probability of winning a normal hit lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control that makes the total open time of the opening and closing member 22b longer based on the winning of the normal winning lottery than in the low base state. Note that, as the open time extension control, control for increasing the number of times of opening and closing of the opening and closing member 22b based on winning the normal winning lottery than in the low base state, and of the opening and closing member 22b based on winning the normal winning lottery At least one control may be executed out of the control for making one open time longer than in the low base state.

  In the present embodiment, the fourth control is executed in the high base state. The fourth control is fluctuation time reduction control of the fluctuation game which makes the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game (for example, the average fluctuation time) shorter than in the low base state. When executing the fluctuation time reduction control of the fluctuation game, the high base state is a so-called “variation time reduction state”. In the present embodiment, the high base state is applied until a predetermined high base end condition is satisfied. Note that the high base state may be given even during the positive change state.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming area YR of the gaming board YB includes a first flowing path X on the left side of the gaming board YB and a second flowing path Y on the right side of the gaming board YB. The first starting winning opening 21a is disposed below the effect display device 16, and it is easier for the gaming ball to enter the game when the first flow path X is allowed to flow than when the second flow path Y is caused to flow. Therefore, in a low base state in which the game ball is difficult to enter the second start winning opening 22a, the game ball is allowed to flow down the first flow-down path X in order to cause the game ball to enter the first start winning opening 21a. Tend to fire.

  On the other hand, the operation gate 25, the second start winning opening 22a, the second large winning opening 24a, and the first large winning opening 23a are disposed in order from the upper side on the right side of the effect display device 16, The game ball is more likely to enter the ball when the second flow path Y is allowed to flow than when the first flow path X is caused to flow. Therefore, in a high base state in which the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening 22a, the game ball is allowed to flow down the second flow-down path Y in order to cause the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 22a. Tend to fire. Further, also in the hit game, the game balls tend to be fired so as to flow down the second flow-down path Y in order to cause the game balls to enter the respective big winning openings 23a and 24a.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the hit game (big hit game and small hit game) in the present embodiment will be described.
The big hit game is started after the end of the variation game in which the big hit symbol has been set and stopped. When the big hit game starts, the opening time starts. When the opening time is over, a round game in which the first large winning opening 23a and the second large winning opening 24a are opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of predetermined rounds as the upper limit. The one round game continues until the game entry limit number of game balls win the first large winning opening 23a or the second large winning opening 24a, or until the prescribed time elapses. It will be. When all round games are over, an ending time is set. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  The small hit game is started after the end of the variation game in which the small hit symbol has been determined and stopped. When the small hit game starts, the second large winning opening 24a is opened, and the upper limit number of entering balls reaches the second large winning opening 24a until a predetermined time elapses or a specified time elapses. It will be continued and the small hit game will end.

  In the present embodiment, when a big hit lottery is won, one big hit among multiple types of big hits is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) to be determined, and a big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit It is supposed to be granted.

Here, the specifications of the so-called pachinko gaming machine such as the hit probability and the contents of the hit game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), in the present embodiment, the jackpot probability is 219/65536 (about 1/300 in the uncertainty state as well in both the first and second variation games. However, 1640/65536 (approximately 1/40) are respectively defined in the positive variation state. That is, the first variation game and the second variation game are symbol variation games in which the probability of being determined to be a big hit is the same.

  Also, as the small hit probability, 65317/65536 (about 299/300) is specified in the second variation game in the non-deterministic state, and 63896/65536 (about 39/40) in the positive state, respectively, and the big hit It is defined that if it does not win the lottery, it will win 1/1. That is, in the second variation game, when the jackpot lottery is not won, the small jackpot lottery is always won in the same manner regardless of the game state. In the present embodiment, the small change lottery is not selected in the first variation game. As described above, the second variation game is a variation game that has a high probability of being determined to be a small hit compared to the first variation game, and is a variation game that is not determined to be out.

  When the first start sensor SE1 or the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball, "3" is the number of payout balls when the first count sensor SE3 or the second count sensor SE4 detects a game ball. As the payout prize ball number, "14" are defined respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, in the present embodiment, 6s in the low base state and 0.5s in the high base state are respectively defined as the variation time of the common game. As the ordinary hit probability, 505/65536 (about 1/130) is defined in the low base state, and 65535/65536 (about 1/1) is defined in the high base state. As the opening mode of the opening / closing member 22b in the game, the opening mode in which the opening time is 0.1 s when the opening time is 0.1 s is the high base state. In the case where it becomes per common drawing, an open mode in which an open control with an open time of 0.9 s is performed four times is defined respectively. As the release interval time in the high base state, 0.1 s is defined. Therefore, the game per common drawing in the high base state is given an upper limit of 4s. The upper limit number of gaming balls that can be entered into the second starting winning opening 22a in a game of one popular drawing is "five" in both the low base state and the high base state. Is defined.

Here, the type of hit game will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, when winning a big hit lottery, one big hit is determined from two types of big hits, and a big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit is given. It has become so. Then, which of the two types of jackpots is to be awarded is decided according to the special figure (big hit symbol) to be decided when the jackpot lottery is won.

In the present embodiment, the big hit symbols of the 100 types of special figures that are displayed on the special symbol display devices 11 and 12 in final decision stop are classified according to the type of the big hit.
Among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 in a fixed stop manner, the 50 types of big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol ZA, and the 50 big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol ZB. Further, among the big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 in a fixed stop manner, 100 types of big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol Za.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the small hit lottery is won, the small hit symbol (symbol Zc) is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 as a fixed stop, and the small hit game is provided. ing.

  Hereinafter, the big hit symbol classified as symbol ZA is determined and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11. The big hit symbol classified as "big hit A", symbol ZB is stopped fixed to the first special symbol display device 11 A big hit displayed is shown as a "big hit B", and a big hit symbol classified as a symbol Za is shown as a big hit displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 as a "big hit a".

  The big hit game awarded when the big hit A, B, a is won is a big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15 times”. In addition, "9" is defined as the upper limit number of game balls that can be entered into each big winning opening 23a, 24a in one round game.

  In the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit A, a, "25s" is specified as the maximum time of each round game. On the other hand, in the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit B, "25s" is prescribed as the maximum time for round games other than the fourth round, and "0.02s" as the maximum time for the fourth round game. It is done.

  In the present embodiment, in the fourth round game, the first large winning opening 23a is opened without opening the second large winning opening 24a, while in the other round games, the first large winning opening 23a is opened. The second large winning opening 24a is opened without the large winning opening 23a being opened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the fourth round game, the distribution shutter 23e operates in the open state with a predetermined opening pattern, while in the other round games, the distribution shutter 23e is in the open state. Do not work.

  Thus, in the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit A, a, the maximum time for the fourth round game round is defined as "25s", and the game ball enters the first big winning opening 23a. The ball is ballable, and the gaming ball having entered the first large winning opening 23a can pass through the probability change trigger area 23c. On the other hand, in the big hit game awarded when the big hit B is won, the maximum time for the fourth round game round is defined as "0.02 s", and the game ball enters the first big winning opening 23a. The ball is difficult, and it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the probability change trigger area 23c.

  That is, according to the type (opening mode) of the first big winning opening door 23b and the distribution shutter 23e in the big hit game, the type of the big hit is a big hit A, a where game balls are likely to flow into the probability change trigger area 23c, There is a big hit B in which gaming balls are less likely to flow into the probability change opportunity area 23c. In addition, it can be said that the big hit A and a where game balls are easy to flow into the probability change opportunity area 23c is a big hit determined with a higher probability in the second variation game than in the first variation game.

The main control CPU 30a acquires values of various random numbers related to the first variation game, and stores the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Note that the values of various random numbers related to the first variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired in response to the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 21a can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 21a when the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit number, the start condition of the first variation game is satisfied. .

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (if the gaming ball has not entered the first start winning opening 21a), or if the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is negative (first) When the upper limit of the number of pending storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the first pending control process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a based on whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input. Execute the judgment.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 22a), the main control CPU 30a sets the second hold storage number to an upper limit number ("4" in this embodiment). The second pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether or not it is smaller than.

  When the determination result of the second pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a second pending control process. In the second hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process.

Next, special symbol start processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute the special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the hit game and the first variation game are not being executed, the main control CPU 30a identifies the first number of pending storages, and determines whether or not the first number of pending storages is larger than “0”. When the first number of pending storages is "0", the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first number of pending storages is larger than “0” (when there is a first variation game whose execution is pending), the main control CPU 30 a establishes the execution condition of the first variation game, and the main A value indicating execution of the first variation game is set to the first special symbol variation processing flag allocated to the control RAM 30c.

  When the hit game and the second variation game are not being executed, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second pending storage number, and determines whether the second pending storage number is larger than “0”. If the second number of pending storages is "0", the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the second number of pending storages is larger than “0” (when there is a second change game pending execution), the main control CPU 30a establishes the execution condition of the second change game, and the main A value indicating execution of the second variation game is set to the second special symbol variation processing flag allocated to the control RAM 30c.

Therefore, the main control CPU 30a can perform control to simultaneously execute the first variation game and the second variation game.

  When the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a executes a process related to the first variation game. In this case, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number relating to the first variation game (the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the variation pattern distribution random number, the value of the special symbol distribution random number and the value of the reach determination random number Among them, the value of the random number related to the first variation game to be executed first according to the order of acquisition is read out from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the specified first holding storage number, and changes the display content of the first holding display device 13 so as to display the subtracted first holding storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the sub control board 31, a suspension designation command indicating the number of first suspension storages after the update.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read hit determination random number matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of big hit), the main control CPU 30a selects the first special symbol display device 11 from among the big hit symbols by the special symbol based on the read value of the special symbol allotment random number read out. The final stop symbol to be displayed is determined. By this, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit corresponding to the final stop symbol to be displayed as the fixed stop. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among the big hit fluctuation patterns, based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

Control 11 display contents. The main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating non-execution of the first variation game in the first special symbol variation processing flag. The main control CPU 30a outputs a full symbol stop command for displaying the effect symbol on the fixed stop display.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a determines whether the read random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. Make a small hit judgment (small hit lottery). When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (in the case of a small hit), the main control CPU 30a displays the first special symbol from among the small hit symbols by the special symbol based on the read value of the special symbol allocation random number read out The final stop symbol to be displayed on the device 11 as a fixed stop is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among the small hitting fluctuation patterns, based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design executes various processing related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the big hit. Do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hitting determination is negative (when not the small hitting), the main control CPU 30a performs the reach determination which determines whether or not the reach effect is to be executed. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a makes a winning determination based on whether or not the read out value for the reach determination random number matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (if reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed as a fixed stop by the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from the outlying reach fluctuation patterns based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design executes various processing related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the big hit. Do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed as a fixed stop by the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among outlier fluctuation patterns based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern allocation random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design executes various processing related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the big hit. Do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a executes a process related to the second variation game. The processing relating to the second variation game is the same as the processing relating to the first variation game, and thus detailed description will be omitted. In the processing relating to the second variation game, the control for the above-mentioned "first variation game" is read as the control for the "second variation game" and the above-mentioned "first special symbol display device 11" is targeted The control is read as control for the “second special symbol display device 12”.

  In the present embodiment, in the processing relating to the first variation game, the small hit lottery is not won, and the processing proceeds as the case where it is not a small hit. Further, in the processing relating to the second variation game, since the small hit lottery is always won, the processing does not proceed as a non-small hit case.

  After the end of the fluctuation game serving as a hit, the main control CPU 30a starts control of a hit game of the type specified based on the final stop symbol, and outputs a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31 at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts an opening time triggered by the start of a big hit game, and outputs an opening command instructing the opening time to start to the sub control board 31.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command to the sub control board 31 triggered by the start of the small hit game. Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the second large winning opening 24a to the open state. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the second large winning opening 24a in the predetermined opening mode until the game balls of the upper limit number of balls reach a winning or until a predetermined prescribed time elapses. After that, the second big winning opening 24a is controlled to be closed, and the small hit game is ended.

  When the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a, in the big hit game (the fourth round of the round game), grants a positive change state when the game ball passes the positive change opportunity area 23c, and the main positive change flag Set a value indicating that a definite change state is given to. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a value (in the present embodiment, “40”) indicating the number of times of giving the probability variation state in the main probability variation number flag. The main probability variation number flag is decremented by one each time the variation game (the first variation game and the second variation game) is executed, and when it becomes "0", the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the main probability variation flag Reset Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the sub control board 31, a probability variation number designation command for designating the value set in the main probability variation number flag. On the other hand, when the gaming ball does not pass through the probability change trigger area 23c in the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a does not give the probability change status, and the main probability change flag is not given the probability change status. Set a value indicating. When the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main probability variation flag and the main probability variation number flag. In addition, when the small hitting game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a holds the values of the main probability variation flag and the main probability variation number flag. As described above, the main control CPU 30a gives a probability change state with the predetermined number of fluctuation games as the upper limit after the end of the big hit game, triggered by the inflow of gaming balls into the probability change opportunity area 23c.

  Further, when the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the main operation flag. In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating the number of times the high base state is provided ("40" in the present embodiment) in the main operation number flag. The main actuation number flag is decremented by one each time the variation game (the first variation game and the second variation game) is executed, and when it becomes 0, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the main actuation flag. Reset Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the sub control board 31, an operation number specification command specifying the value set in the main operation number flag.

In addition, when the small hitting game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a holds the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag. As described above, the main control CPU 30a gives a high base state with a predetermined number of fluctuation games as an upper limit after the end of the big hit game, triggered by the inflow of gaming balls into the probability change opportunity area 23c.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes the second variation game in the second special symbol variation processing flag triggered by the start of the hit game (big hit game and small hit game) based on the first change game. It is determined whether the indicated value is set. When it is determined that the value indicating the execution of the second variation game is set in the second special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a executes the cancellation process of the second variation game. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value indicating the execution of the second variation game is not set in the second special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a does not execute the cancellation process of the second variation game . Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating the award of the hitting to the first special symbol variation processing flag, and sets a value indicating the award of the hitting to the second special symbol variation processing flag.

Set a value indicating non-execution of the game. As a result, after the end of the hit game, the execution of each variation game is controlled to start.

  As described above, when the winning game based on any one of the first variation game and the second variation game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a executes the other variation game. Sometimes, the other variation game is controlled as a display result of the removal, and the other variation game is controlled to be canceled. The main control CPU 30a does not execute the fluctuation game during the hit game, and controls the other fluctuation game of the next time to be executable after the end of the hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes such processing functions as a big hit determination means, a small hit determination means, a big hit type determination means, a game control means, and a state giving means.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the sub control CPU 31a executes various processes in accordance with that. In the present embodiment, various types of processing are executed for each type of fluctuation game.

  For example, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the final stop display is displayed based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Determine the symbol combination by the effect pattern to be let.

  That is, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the big hit. Further, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the small hit symbol, the sub control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the small hit. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the off reach when the designated final stop symbol is the off symbol and the off reach variation pattern is specified. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the off when the designated final stop symbol is the off symbol and the off fluctuation pattern is designated.

  Then, when the fluctuation pattern designation command is input, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 16 to execute the effect pattern fluctuation game based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the decoration lamp LA is configured to execute an effect accompanying a variation game (effect symbol variation game) based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Control the speaker SP. Thereafter, when the all-pattern stop command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the effect accompanying the variation game and displays the determined symbol combination. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 16 is controlled to execute the effect symbol variation game for each type of variation game.

  Further, when a probability variation pass command is input, the sub control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that a probability variation state is given to the sub probability variation flag after the end of the big hit game, and sets the value of the number of sub probability variation flags Set the number of definite variations. Further, the sub control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub probable variation number flag based on the value set in the main probability variation number flag designated by the probability variation number designation command. In addition, when a big hit game is awarded, or when the value of the sub probability variation number flag becomes “0”, the value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted is deleted from the sub probability variation flag. On the other hand, when the positive variation passage command is not input, the secondary control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the positive variation state is not assigned to the secondary probability variation flag.

  When a big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the sub control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the sub actuation flag, and sets the number of actuations to the value of the sub actuation frequency flag Do. In addition, the sub control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub actuation frequency flag based on the value set in the main actuation frequency flag specified by the actuation frequency specification command. When the jackpot game is awarded or the value of the sub actuation frequency flag becomes "0", the value indicating that the high base state is imparted is deleted from the sub actuation flag.

Here, the variation pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the variation pattern of the present embodiment is selected depending on whether or not to execute out-of-place reach effects when it is a big hit, a small hit, or an off. Specifically, the fluctuation patterns HP15, HP22, and HP24 are defined as the big hit fluctuation patterns. The variation patterns HP14 and HP23 are defined as small hitting variation patterns. The variation pattern HP13 is defined as an out-of-reach reach variation pattern. The fluctuation patterns HP11, HP12, and HP21 are defined as outlier fluctuation patterns.

  The variation patterns HP11 to HP15 are defined as selectable variation patterns in the low base state, and the variation patterns HP21 to HP24 are defined as variation patterns selectable in the high base state.

  The fluctuation pattern HP12 selectable in the low base state and the fluctuation pattern HP21 selectable in the high base state are fluctuation patterns for shortening the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern HP11. Thus, in the case of the high base state, it is easier to determine the fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is shortened than in the case of the low base state.

  In the high base state, variation patterns selectable in the first variation game are variation patterns HP21 and HP22, and variation patterns selectable in the second variation game are variation patterns HP23 and HP24. As the selectable variation patterns in both the first variation game and the second variation game in the low base state, variation patterns HP11 to HP15 are defined. In the present embodiment, 0.5 s is defined as the interval time of the variation game (variation interval time).

  Thus, the variation patterns HP23 and HP24 selectable in the second variation game in the high base state have a variation time (1 s) shorter than the variation patterns HP21 and HP22 (9s) selectable in the first variation game in the high base state. Is defined as That is, in the high base state, the second variation game is a variation game in which the variation time is shorter than the first variation game, and it can be said that the second variation game is a variation game in which the variation time is shorter than the first variation game determined to be a big hit. . The small hit game is a game provided with an upper limit of 0.02 s (see FIG. 3), and is given a time shorter than the first variation game determined to be a big hit in the high base state.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 6, the progress of the game by the above control will be described. In particular, in the present embodiment, the progress of the game when it is in the high base state after the end of the big hit game will be described. In order to make it easy to understand the gist of the invention, FIG. 6 simplifies the contents shown in the figure such as showing that a time-series scale or a fluctuation game includes a fluctuation interval time.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the first pending storage number is "1" or more and the second pending storage number is "0", when the big hit game is ended at the timing shown by the code T11, the high base state Controlled by In this case, since the first number of pending storages is “1” or more, the execution condition of the first change game is satisfied, and even if it is a big hit or not a big hit, the first change game of 9s is Is started (indicated as "1" in the figure). Therefore, when the first variation game is started from the timing shown by the code T11, the first variation game is ended at the timing after 9s has elapsed.

  When the gaming ball is fired on the second flow-down path Y after the end of the big hit game, the gaming ball may pass through the operation gate 25. When the gaming ball passes through the operation gate 25 at the timing shown by the reference T12, a flat game of 0.5 seconds is executed in the high base state. For this reason, when the game drawing game is started from the timing shown by the code T12, the game drawing game is ended at the timing shown by the code T13 which is 0.5s after.

  Subsequently, in the high base state, the normal hit probability is 65535/65536, and the normal hit probability is won with an extremely high probability. If the normal hit probability is won, the game is awarded per game after the end of the game. In the high base state, the game per common game is given an upper limit of 5s. For this reason, when the game is started per common drawing from the timing shown by the code T13, the common game per game will be granted with the timing after 5s as the upper limit.

  In addition, when the opening and closing member 22b is opened in the game per common drawing, when the game ball flowing down the second flow-down path Y enters the second start winning opening 22a, the start condition and execution of the second variation game The execution of the second variation game of 1 s is started (indicated as “1” in the drawing) even when the condition is satisfied and a big hit or not a small hit. For this reason, when the second variation game is started from the timing indicated by the code T14, the second variation game is ended at the timing after 1 s has elapsed.

  In this case, when the second variation game ends and the variation interval time elapses, a hit game based on the second variation game is started at the timing indicated by the reference T15. In this case, a small hit game is assumed to be awarded, but a big hit game may be awarded. When the hit game is started, the first variation game in progress is ended as a break. For this reason, even in the first variation game, even if the gaming ball has won the big hit B that is unlikely to pass through the probability variation area 23c, the control based on the big hit B by the start of the hit game based on the second variation game Will not take place.

  In addition, when the small hitting game is over at the timing indicated by the code T16 when the first number of pending storages and the second number of pending storages are “1” or more, the first base is controlled to the high base state. Both the execution condition of the first variation game and the execution condition of the second variation game are satisfied. Also in this case, the execution of the first variation game of 9s is started (shown as "2" in the figure) even if it is a big hit or not. The execution of the second variation game of 1 s is started (indicated as "2" in the figure) even if it is a small hit or a small hit. Then, when the second variation game is over and the variation interval time elapses, the hit game based on the second variation game is started at the timing indicated by the code T17, and the first variation game being executed is ended as a disconnection. It will be. In addition, when the hit game is over at timing T18, execution conditions of each variation game can be established.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, if firing of the game ball to the second flow-down path Y is started after execution conditions of the first variation game are satisfied in the high base state, the first variation game of 9s is ended. It is configured that a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is started by the time it is done. In other words, if firing of the game ball to the second flow-down path Y is started after the execution condition of the first variation game is established in the high base state, the hit game (big hit game or Small hit game is configured to be started. In addition, when the hit game is over with both the first number of pending storages and the second number of pending storages being “1” or more, in the high base state, the second variation game is the first variation game. End earlier than. Then, even if the fluctuation interval time is taken into consideration, the start of the hit game based on the second fluctuation game is earlier than the end of the first fluctuation game, and the first fluctuation game is ended as a loss.

  That is, when the second variation game is in the high base state, a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) based on the second variation game is given until the big hit game based on the first variation game is awarded. Is a fluctuation game with a high degree of In other words, it can be said that the second variation game is a variation game having a high expectation of becoming a big hit earlier than the first variation game when in the high base state. In the present embodiment, the high base state corresponds to the specific condition, and the specific condition is satisfied when the high base state.

As described in detail above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Even in the configuration in which the first variation game and the second variation game can be executed simultaneously, the second variation game is better than the first variation game when the specific condition is satisfied. Also the expectation of becoming a big hit earlier becomes high. For this reason, by raising the expectation that the second variation game to which the probability change state is easily given is a big hit, it is possible to provide novel game characteristics, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (2) In addition, when the big hit game based on the 2nd fluctuation game is granted, the 1st fluctuation game which is executed is controlled as a display result of out. For this reason, when the big hit game based on the second variation game is awarded, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the probability change state is not given by suppressing the big hit game based on the first variation game being awarded. It is possible to provide novel playability, and to improve the interest for the game.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, although the probability change state is given upon the game ball having passed the probability change opportunity area 23c, it is not limited thereto. For example, it may be determined based on the type of the jackpot as in the second embodiment, rather than the passage of the gaming ball to the probability variation trigger area 23c, whether the probability variation state is to be provided. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configuration and the same control content as those of the embodiment described above, and the overlapping description will be omitted or simplified.

  In the second embodiment, the first big winning opening 23a, the first big winning opening door 23b, the probability variation area 23c, the general area 23d, the distribution shutter 23e, the first count sensor SE3, the probability variation sensor SE6, the first prize winning Port solenoid SOL1 and distribution solenoid SOL4 are not provided. Also, the second large winning opening 24a is a large winning opening, the second large winning opening piece 24b is a large winning opening, the second count sensor SE4 is a count sensor, and the second large winning opening solenoid SOL2 is a large winning opening solenoid Each corresponds to.

  Among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 as shown in FIG. 7, 30 types of big hit symbols for the symbol ZA, 30 big hit symbols for the symbol ZB and the symbol ZC. There are 40 big hit symbols, each of which is assigned. Further, among the big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 with a decision stop, 60 types of big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol Za, and 40 big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol Zc. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the small hit lottery is won, the small hit symbol (symbol Zd) is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 as a fixed stop, and the small hit game is provided. ing.

  Hereinafter, the big hit symbol classified as symbol ZC is displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 with a big stop "big hit C", and the big hit symbol classified as symbol Zc is fixedly stopped in the second special symbol display device 12 The displayed big hit is indicated as "big hit c", respectively.

  The jackpot game awarded when the jackpot A or a is won is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15 times”. The big hit game awarded when the big hit B, C, c is won is a big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to "4 times". In the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot is won, "25s" is specified as the maximum time for each round game.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit A, B, a, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, until the next big hit game is awarded, a definite change state is granted It has become so. On the other hand, after the end of the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot C, c is won, no definite change state is awarded regardless of the gaming state at the time of jackpot lottery winning.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit A, a, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning a big hit lottery, high base status will be granted until the next big hit game is granted It is supposed to be. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game awarded when winning a big hit B, C, c, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a predetermined number of times ("40 times" in this embodiment) The high base state is given by setting the upper limit number of times until the fluctuation game ends. In addition, after the end of the small hit game awarded when the small hit is won, the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is continued.

  As described above, the big hit (type of big hit) has a probability change big hit that is given a definite change state after the end of the big hit game, and with a probability higher than the big hit A based on the first change game, the big hit based on the second change game Since it becomes a, it is easy for the second variation game to be more likely to be a probability variation big hit (15 round probability variation hit) than the first variation game. And, even if the second variation game is likely to be a big hit more advantageous than the first variation game, such as the specified number of rounds of the big hit game or the number of high base states given after the end of the big hit game, the first implementation As in the mode, in the high base state, the second variation game is controlled to have a higher expectation of becoming a big hit earlier than the first variation game. Thus, the second embodiment has the same effects as the effects (1) and (2) in the first embodiment.

The above embodiment can be embodied in the following another embodiment (another example).
In the first embodiment, for example, the fourth round game is defined as a round game in which gaming balls can flow into the probability change opportunity area 23c, but not limited to this, for example, in round games other than the fourth round It may be. Further, for example, the game ball may be allowed to flow into the probability change opportunity area 23c in different round games.

  In the first embodiment, the general area 23 d and the distribution shutter 23 e are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the general area 23d or the distribution shutter 23e may not be provided, such as adjusting the degree of passage of the gaming ball to the probability change opportunity area 23c according to the opening mode of the first big winning opening 23a. In other words, the gaming ball that has won the first large winning opening 23a may pass through the probability change trigger area 23c.

  In the first embodiment, if the second variation game is a big hit more advantageous than the first variation game, for example, the game ball passes through the probability change trigger area 23c as the type of the second variation game big hit. Not only easy jackpots, but also jackpots in which gaming balls are difficult to pass through the probability change opportunity area 23c may be defined. As a specific example, in the second variation game, the big hit (for example, big hit a) where the game ball easily passes through the probability change opportunity area 23c is determined with a probability of 80%, and the game ball does not easily pass the probability change opportunity area 23c A big hit (for example, a big hit b corresponding to big hit B) may be determined with a probability of 20%.

  In the above embodiment, if the second variation game is a big hit more advantageous than the first variation game, for example, there may be a configuration in which no probability variation state is given. As a specific example, the second variation game is more effective than the first variation game with regard to the number of variation games in which the high base condition is awarded or not, and the high base condition is awarded. It is good if it is advantageous.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the first variation game and the second variation game may have an inverse relationship, and if the first variation game is more advantageous than the second variation game, then When the specific condition is satisfied, the first variation game may have a higher expectation of becoming a big hit earlier than the second variation game.

  In the above embodiment, both the first large winning opening 23a and the second large winning opening 24a are provided, but not limited to this, for example, the first large winning opening 23a and the second large winning opening 24a Either one may be provided. That is, it does not matter whether the special ball inlet and the special opening / closing means are integrally formed or separately formed.

  In the above embodiment, the small hit lottery is not necessarily won in the first variation game, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the small variation lottery itself is not performed in the first variation game and the small hit is not won. It may be controlled as a thing. Also, for example, a small hit lottery may be won in the first variation game.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, when a small hit game is given, although the 2nd big winning a prize mouth 24a was opened once, not only this but for example, it may be opened a plurality of times.
-In the above embodiment, when a small hit game is given, opening time, round interval time and ending time are not specified, but it is not limited thereto, for example, at least opening time, round interval time and ending time Either may be defined.

  In the above embodiment, when the special symbol is displayed as a small hit symbol, the production symbol is displayed as a small hit symbol combination, and when the special symbol is displayed as a lost symbol, the production symbol is displayed. It is displayed as a fixed stop as a combination of off the mark, but it is not limited to this. For example, in both of the case where the special symbol is displayed as the small stop symbol and the case where the special symbol is displayed as the falling symbol, the production symbol may be displayed as the combination of the detached symbols.

  In the above embodiment, the effect symbol variation game is executed for each type of variation game, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, an effect symbol variation game corresponding to any one of a plurality of types of variation games is executed, The effect symbol variation game corresponding to either one may not be executed. As a specific example, in the low base state, the effect symbol variation game corresponding to the first variation game may be executed, and the effect symbol variation game corresponding to the second variation game may not be executed. In addition, for example, in the high base state, the effect symbol variation game corresponding to the second variation game may be executed, and the effect symbol variation game corresponding to the first variation game may not be executed. Moreover, when any of a plurality of types of variation games are executed, one of them may be executed with priority.

  In the above embodiment, when the winning game based on one of the variation games is awarded, when the other variation game is canceled, the main probability variation number flag and the main actuation are triggered by the execution of the other variation game. The count flag may or may not be updated. When the main probability variation number flag and the main actuation number flag are not updated, the game can be advanced without affecting the control regarding the continuation of the gaming state even if the other variation game is stopped.

  In the above embodiment, in the high base state, the variation time of the first variation game is 9 s, and the variation time of the second variation game is 1 s. As a specific example, in the high base state, the variation time of the first variation game may be set to 300 s, and the variation time of the second variation game may be set to 3 s. In this case, even if the small hit lottery may not be won if the big hit lottery is not won in the second variation game, the second variation game is expected to be a big hit earlier than the first variation game. It can be raised.

  In the above embodiment, in the high base state, the fluctuation pattern is determined such that the same fluctuation time is obtained regardless of the result of the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the first variation game, when winning a big hit hard to pass the game ball in the probability variation area 23c or a non-probability big hit that is not given a probability variation state, otherwise (the game ball passes the probability variation area 23c The fluctuation time may be made longer than when the jackpot is won or the jackpot is won if the jackpot is won. Thereby, even if it is a case where the game ball does not pass the probability change area 23c in the first variation game a big hit or a non-probability variation big hit to which a probability variation state is not given, the first variation game is completed by the end of the first variation game 2) If the hit game based on the fluctuation game is awarded, the first fluctuation game is released. Therefore, the possibility that the probability change state is not given can be reduced, novel game characteristics can be provided, and the interest for the game can be improved.

  -In the above embodiment, when not winning the big hit lottery in the second variation game, it was always selected to win the small hit lottery, but not limited to this, for example, even if there is a case that does not win the small hit lottery Well, it is preferable that the probability of winning the small hit lottery is higher than the probability of not winning the small hit lottery. That is, the second variation game may be a variation game having a high probability of being determined to be a small hit than the probability of being determined to be out.

  In the above embodiment, when one of the variation games is a hit, when the other variation game is being executed, the execution of the other variation game is canceled when the hit game is started, Not limited to. For example, the execution of the other variation game may be canceled when the execution of the one variation game that has been hit is finished.

  In the above embodiment, when the hit game based on one of the variation games is started, and the other variation game is being executed, the variation interval time is immediately after the execution of the other variation game is discontinued. Even if it has not elapsed, the other variation game can be executed, but it is not limited thereto. For example, when the execution of the other variation game is discontinued, the other variation game may be allowed to be executed after the variation interval time has elapsed. In this case, although it becomes possible to execute the other variation game after 0.5 seconds which is the variation interval time, the small hit game is given with the upper limit of 0.02 s, so after the small hit game is over, After 0.48 s has elapsed, the other variation game can be executed. That is, by defining the fluctuation interval time to be longer than the time (maximum time) for which the small hit game is awarded, control is performed so that the other change game is not started immediately after the end of the small hit game. Can. In other words, immediately after the end of the small hit game, one variation game can be executed, but the other variation game can not be executed, and one variation game is started before the other variation game. It becomes. This makes it easy to end one of the variation games first.

  In the above embodiment, when the game is hit in one of the variation games, the execution of the other variation game is canceled when the hit game is given (started) as a trigger, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, when one of the variation games is hit, the execution of the other variation game is interrupted upon giving of the hit game, and the execution of the other variation game interrupted is resumed after the completion of the hit game. It is also good.

  In the above embodiment, the specific condition is satisfied in the high base state, and the second variation game has a higher expectation of becoming a big hit earlier than the first variation game, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The specific condition may be satisfied when another condition such as being in a high base state and being controlled to another effect mode is satisfied. Also, for example, the specific condition may be established in the low base state. That is, any condition may be used as the specific condition.

  In the above embodiment, the main control board 30 and the sub control board 31 are disposed and various functions are mounted, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the function in one board is mounted as the function in the other board May be Further, means for controlling the effect display device 16 may be separately provided. In addition to the two types of substrates, for example, they may be configured as an integral substrate, or may be configured as three or more types of substrates.

  In the above embodiment, the type of the big hit game is designated by the special symbol designation command. However, the type of the big hit game may be designated by the variation pattern designation command or another dedicated control command.

  In the above embodiment, various random number values related to the variation game may be stored in a storage area provided according to the number of pending storages. In this case, each time the variation game is executed, the random number value is subjected to shift processing, and the number of pending storages is stored in the storage area decremented by one.

In the embodiment described above, if the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game is managed by the sub control board 31, it is not necessary to output the symbol stop command.
In the above embodiment, for example, the big hit determination and the small hit determination may be performed simultaneously, or the small hit determination may be performed before the big hit determination.

  In the above embodiment, for example, in the low base state, a lottery may not be won per draw, and in the high base state, the fluctuation time of the common drawing game may not be shorter than the low base state. .

Claims (1)

In a gaming machine in which a big hit game is awarded after a symbol variation game results in a display of a big hit,
The first starting port where the game ball can enter
The second starting port where the game ball can enter
Opening / closing means operable to bring the second start port into an open state and a closed state;
Jackpot judging means for judging whether or not to be a jackpot;
Small hit determination means for determining whether to be a small hit;
Game control means for performing control relating to the symbol variation game;
After the end of the jackpot game, the state providing means capable of providing a high probability state in which the probability of being judged to be a big hit is higher than the low probability state;
The state imparting means imparts an increase in the ball entry rate to the second starting opening more easily than the non ball entry state.
The symbol variation game includes a first symbol variation game and a second symbol variation game,
When a game ball enters the first starting opening and the first holding condition is satisfied, execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended, and after execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended, the first execution is performed. When the condition is established, the first symbol variation game whose execution is suspended is executed,
When a game ball enters the second starting opening and the second hold condition is satisfied, the second symbol change game is suspended from being executed, and the second symbol change game is suspended from being executed, and then the second execution is executed. When the condition is established, the second symbol variation game whose execution is suspended is executed,
The first symbol variation game is a symbol variation game that is not determined to be a small hit,
The second symbol variation game is a symbol variation game that may be determined to be a small hit,
The second symbol variation game is likely to be a big hit more advantageous than the first symbol variation game,
The game control means
Control can be performed to simultaneously execute the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game, and based on any one of the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game. When a big hit game is awarded, when any other symbol variation game is being executed, the other symbol variation game is controlled as a display result of the disconnection,
When a small hit game based on the second symbol variation game is given, when the first symbol variation game is being executed, the first symbol variation game is controlled as a display result of detachment,
The second symbol variation game is
It is a symbol variation game having a high expectation of becoming a big hit earlier than the first symbol variation game when a specific condition is established,
It is a symbol variation game in which the probability of being judged to be a small hit is higher than the probability of being judged to be an out-of-focus condition in the low probability state and the ball entry rate improvement state,
It is a symbol variation game in which the probability of being judged to be a small hit is higher than the probability of being judged to be an out-of-focus condition in the high probability state and the ball entry rate improvement state,
In the symbol variation game, the probability of being judged to be a small hit in the low probability state and the ball entering state improved state is higher than the probability to be judged to be a small hit in the high probability state and the ball entering state. Oh it is,
The gaming machine , wherein the specific condition is a condition that is satisfied by being controlled to a specific effect mode in the ball entry rate improvement state .
