  A mode for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment.

  First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 which is an example of a gaming machine will be described. In the description of each step of the flowchart in the present embodiment, for example, a portion described as “step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, showing a layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. A glass door frame 70 is attached to the front side of the gaming machine frame 3 so as to be openable and closable about the upper left side of the gaming machine frame 3 as a rotation center. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area 10 surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area 10, a game ball as a game medium is fired from a predetermined ball launch device and then shot. The game board 2 is visible through a see-through window 70 a formed in the glass door frame 70.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the right side of the game area 10). Each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B is composed of, for example, LEDs (light emitting diodes) of segments or dot matrix, etc., and includes plural types of identification information (special identification information) that can identify each. A special symbol (also referred to as a "special figure") is displayed variably (variation display). In the following, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" .

  Near the center of the game area 10 in the game board 2, an effect display device 5 is provided. The left side of the effect display device 5 in the game area 10 of the present embodiment constitutes the left gaming area 10L where the game ball can flow down, and the right side of the effect display device 5 in the game area 10 allows the game ball to flow down The right gaming area 10R is configured. The game balls flowing down the left gaming area 10L are able to win at the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A described later and the first general winning hole formed by the general winning ball device 6C, The game balls flowing down the right game area 10R are formed by a first start winning opening formed by an ordinary winning ball device 6A 'to be described later, a second starting winning opening formed by an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B, and a general winning ball device 6D. It is possible to win a second general winning opening, a first large winning opening formed in the special variable winning ball unit 7, and a second large winning opening 712.

  The effect display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, the variation display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display 4A, the variation display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B, and the ordinary by the ordinary symbol display 20 described later For example, in the effect pattern display area, which is a plurality of variable display units such as three, corresponding to each of the variable display of the symbol, a effect pattern (decorative symbol) which is plural types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each The symbol is also displayed fluctuatingly.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. And either of the fluctuation of the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A and the fluctuation of the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B, or the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol by the ordinary symbol display 20 is started. Corresponding to the movement, the variation (for example, the scroll display in the vertical direction) of the rendering symbols is started in each of the rendering symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right". Thereafter, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as the variable display result in the special drawing game or the regular drawing game, each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5C in the effect display device 5 , 5R, the finalized design symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed as the variation display result of the production symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the variation display using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A, the variation display using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B, ordinary The variable display of a plurality of types of effect design that can be identified is performed in synchronization with the variable display using the common figure in the symbol display 20, and the fixed effect design that is the result of the variable display is derived and displayed (or simply "derived") Also called). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols means to stop identification information such as effect symbols etc (also referred to as complete stop indication or final stop indication) and to end variable display. . On the other hand, during the fluctuation display until the finalized design pattern is derived and displayed after the fluctuation display of the production pattern is started until the finalized design pattern that is the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed, the fluctuation speed of the production pattern becomes "0". For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed definitively, it is possible for the player to recognize that the fluctuation of the effect pattern by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the effect pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  For example, nine types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “9” or Han) are displayed on the effect symbols that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or a combination of a number, English letters, nine character images relating to a predetermined motif, a number or a character or a combination of a symbol and a character image. , A symbol such as a character, or any other decorative image representing an arbitrary figure). Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the rendering symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “9” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “9”, respectively. In addition, the effect design is not limited to nine types, but may be any number (for example, eight types, ten types, etc.) as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination which becomes out of place. In addition, although the details will be described later, as the effect pattern of this embodiment, the first effect pattern (the effect pattern of alphanumeric characters “1” to “9”) in which the change display is executed interlocking with the change display of the special symbol And, the second effect design (Chinese numerals “one” to “nine”) in which the change display is executed interlocking with the change display of the normal symbol is prepared in advance.

  After the fluctuation display of the production design is started, until the fixed production design that is the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed, each of the production design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R for "left", "middle" and "right" For example, when the scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers sequentially flow from the top to the bottom from the one with the largest symbol number to the one with the largest symbol number (for example, "9"). The effect symbol with the smallest symbol number (for example, "1") is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, the effect symbol display area 5L of "left", etc.), scroll display is performed from the one with the large symbol number to the one with the small symbol, When the effect pattern having the smallest number is displayed, subsequently, the effect pattern having the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the effect display device 5, a first hold storage display area 5H is disposed. In the first hold storage display area 5H, a hold storage display for specifying the number of pending variable displays (the number of first special view hold storages) corresponding to the first special symbol is performed. Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the first special symbol is based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening formed by the regular winning ball devices 6A and 6A 'described later. Occurs. That is, although the start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing the variation display of the special symbol and the production symbol is satisfied, the variation display based on the start condition established earlier is being executed and the pachinko gaming machine Variable display corresponding to the start condition (winning to the first start winning opening) which is satisfied when the start condition for permitting the start of the variable display is not established because 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state etc. Is put on hold.

  In the present embodiment, a circular white display (a suspension displayed on the first suspension storage display area 5H) of a suspension storage display generated based on a startup winning due to the game ball passing (entering) the first startup winning opening Memory display). In addition, the display mode of the pending storage display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first start winning opening may be a display other than the round white display.

  Above the effect display device 5, a countdown display device 400 is provided. As an example, the countdown display device 400 is configured of LEDs of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc., and can display the remaining period of the variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state described later.

  Further, above the effect display device 5, the effect suspension display unit 30 is disposed. The effect suspension display unit 30 is provided separately from the effect display device 5 that displays the number of suspension of the variable display (the number of first special view suspension storages) corresponding to the first special symbol so as to be identifiable. A holding storage display is performed to display the number of holdings of the variable display (the second special drawing holding storage number) corresponding to the special symbol in an identifiable manner. Here, the suspension memory of the variable display corresponding to the second special symbol is based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the ordinary variable winning winning ball device 6B described later. Occur. That is, although the start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing the variation display of the special symbol and the production symbol is satisfied, the variation display based on the start condition established earlier is being executed and the pachinko gaming machine Start condition established when a start condition permitting change display start is not established because 1 is controlled to a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state, etc. (winning to a second start winning opening) The pending storage display of the variable display corresponding to is performed.

  Although the details will be described later, the variation display of the first special symbol in the present embodiment is that the variation display result is either "big hit", "off" or "small hit", while the variation display of the second special symbol is The fluctuation display result is "big hit" or "small hit". When the variation display result of the second special symbol is "small hit", the V hit is generated (the game ball is detected by the third count switch 24B), and the big hit game is executed. That is, the effect suspension display unit 30 in the present embodiment is a display device (display unit) for informing the number of times the big hit game is executed based on the variable display of the second special symbol.

  The effect suspension display unit 30 is provided with a total of four LEDs marked “1”, “2”, “3” and “4”. In this embodiment, the holding memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the second starting winning opening is displayed by causing each of the LEDs provided in the effect holding display unit 30 to emit light. Do. Specifically, the LED for "1" is made to emit light when the number of the second special view reserve storage is one, and the LEDs of "1" and "2" are used when the number of the second special view reserve storage is two. It is made to emit light, and when the number of 2nd special view reservation storages is 3, the LED of "1" to "3" is made to emit light, and when the number of 2nd special view reservation storages is 4, "1" to "4" Turn on the LED.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the first hold storage display area 5H and the effect hold display unit 30, the number of special view hold memories can be specified in the upper part of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B. A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B for display are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The first special map reservation storage count is the number of storages for which the execution of the variable display using the first special view is suspended. The second special map reservation storage count is the number of storages for which the execution of the variable display using the second special view is suspended. The number of pending storages of the variable display obtained by adding the number of the first special view pending storage and the number of the second special view pending storage is particularly referred to as the total pending storage number. The term "number of Tokushu reserve storages" simply refers to a concept that includes all of the number of first to reserve special storages, the number of second to reserve special storages, and the total number of pending storages, but in particular It may refer to a concept including the number of first special view pending storages and the number of second special view pending storages, but excluding the total number of pending storages.

  Below the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A is provided, and on the left side of the effect display device 5 (left gaming area 10L), a general winning ball device 6C is provided. Further, on the right side (right gaming area 10R) of the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A 'and a general winning ball device 6D are provided. These ordinary winning ball devices 6A and 6A 'form a first starting winning opening which is always kept in a constant open state by, for example, a predetermined ball receiving member. A passing gate 41 is provided on the right of the normal winning ball device 6A 'which is the right gaming area 10R, and a normal variable winning ball device 6B is provided below the passing gate 41. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is provided with an ordinary electric symbol having a plate 60 (see FIG. 4) for changing between the open state and the closed state by the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric symbol shown in FIG. , Form the second start winning opening.

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball is projected to the second start winning opening by the plate body 60 projecting to the front side of the game board 2 when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is off. It becomes a closed state that is difficult to pass (enter). On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the plate 60 retracts from the front side of the game board 2 (moves to the back side of the game board 2) when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is on. As a result, the game ball is in an open state where it is easy to pass (enter) the second starting winning opening. Although the normally variable winning ball device 6B can enter the game ball into the second starting winning opening even when the closed state, it is less likely to enter the game ball than in the open state. It may be configured as follows. Alternatively, in the closed state, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. As described above, the second start winning opening as the second start area changes into an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) and a closed state in which the game balls hardly pass (enter) or can not pass (enter) Do.

  The general winning ball device 6C, for example, forms a first general winning opening that is always kept in a fixed open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, and the general winning ball device 6D is always fixed by, for example, a predetermined ball receiving member. Form a second general winning opening that is kept open.

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, the starting opening switch A22A shown in FIG. 3, and the first starting formed in the normal winning ball device 6A '. The game ball which has passed (entered) the winning opening is detected by, for example, a starting opening switch B22B shown in FIG. The gaming ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a starting opening switch C22C shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls based on the detection of the game balls by the start opening switch A22A or the start opening switch B22B, and the first special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit value If (eg, "4") or less, the first start condition is satisfied. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the starting opening switch C22C, and the second special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4") If not, the second start condition is satisfied. The number of award balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the start opening switch A22A or the start opening switch B22B and the number of the award balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the start opening switch C22C. The number may be the same as or different from each other.

  In addition, the game ball which has passed (entered) the first general winning opening formed in the general winning ball device 6C is detected by, for example, the general winning opening switch A22D shown in FIG. 3 and is formed in the general winning ball device 6D. 2 The game ball which has passed (entered) the general winning opening is detected by, for example, a general winning opening switch B22E shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, three) of gaming balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the gaming balls by the general winning opening switch A22D or the general winning opening switch B22E.

  An ordinary symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the right side of the game area 10). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of LEDs or the like of 7 segments or dot matrix similarly to the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and plural kinds of identification information different from the special symbol The symbol which is a normal symbol (also referred to as "common figure" or "ordinary figure") is variably displayed (variation display).

  Below the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The general drawing retention indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general drawing retention memory number as the number of effective passing balls passed through the passing gate 41. In the passing gate 41, a gate switch 21 described later is incorporated.

  In addition, above the normal winning ball device 6A ', the passing gate 41 and the normal variable winning ball device 6B, a swing for distributing the gaming ball to the normal winning ball device 6A' and the passing gate 41 and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. A minute device 300 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the distribution apparatus 300 includes a housing member 300K of a predetermined shape, a movable member 300A provided inside the housing member 300K, and the like. The housing member 300K defines an inlet 300N, an outlet 300R, an outlet 300L, a first passage 300P from the inlet 300N to the outlet 300R, and a second passage 300Q from the inlet 300N to the outlet 300L. The movable member 300A is movable in the left-right direction by the drive of the solenoid 84. The solenoid 84 is connected to a controller 90 for driving the solenoid 84. The controller 90 starts driving control of the solenoid 84 by receiving an activation signal from the game control microcomputer 100 via the output circuit 111 when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated. As the controller 90 drives the solenoid 84, the movable member 300A repeats the movement in the left and right direction regardless of the gaming state.

  A gaming ball flowing down the right gaming area 10R may enter the inside of the distribution device 300 from the entrance 300N. When the movable member 300A is positioned to the right, the first passage 300P is closed by the movable member 300A and the second passage 300Q is opened, so the gaming ball having entered the inside of the sorting apparatus 300 is the first passage. While it can not pass through 300P, it passes through the second passage 300Q and is discharged from the outlet 300L (see FIG. 4A). That is, the gaming balls are distributed to the outlet 300L (or the left region outside the outlet 300L). Here, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), since the normal winning ball device 6A 'is provided below the outlet 300L, the gaming ball distributed to the outlet 300L has a high probability that the normal winning ball device 6A' has a high probability. It is possible to win a prize in the first starting winning opening that is formed.

  Further, when the movable member 300A is positioned on the left, the second passage 300Q is closed by the movable member 300A and the first passage 300P is opened, so that the gaming ball that has entered the inside of the sorting device 300 While not being able to pass through the second passage 300Q, it passes through the first passage 300P and is discharged from the outlet 300R (see FIG. 4B). That is, the gaming balls are distributed to the outlet 300R (or the right area outside the outlet 300R). Here, as shown in FIG. 4B, since the passing gate 41 is provided below the outlet 300R, the gaming balls discharged from the outlet 300R can pass the passing gate 41 with high probability. . Furthermore, since the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B is provided below the passing gate 41, the gaming ball that has passed the passing gate 41 is the normal variable winning prize ball device if the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B is open. It is possible to enter the second starting winning opening formed by 6B, and if the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the closed state, it becomes impossible to enter the second starting winning hole formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B. There is.

  The movable member 300A is positioned on the right during the first period, and moves to the left by the actuation of the solenoid 84 after the first period. Then, it is positioned on the left side for a longer period than the first period, and moves to the right again by driving the solenoid 84 after the second period. The length of the first period and the second period is 5:95. For this reason, the movable member 300A can easily distribute the gaming ball having entered into the distribution device 300 to the outlet 300R side (pass gate 41 and the normally variable winning ball device 6B side) (allocation ratio 95%), the outlet It is difficult to distribute to the 300L side (normal winning ball device 6A 'side) (allocation ratio 5%). As described above, when the gaming ball flowing down the right gaming area 10R enters the sorting apparatus 300, the probability that the gaming ball can be distributed to the outlet 300L side is set low, so the left gaming area 10L The rate at which the game balls flowing down win the first start winning opening (the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A), the game ball flowing down the right gaming area 10R is the first starting winning opening (normal winning ball opening (normal winning ball) It is higher than the ratio of winning in the first start winning opening formed by the device 6A ′.

  A special variable winning ball unit 7 in which the first special variable winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B are integrated is provided on the right side of the regular winning ball device 6A. Here, the configuration of the special variable winning prize unit 7 will be described. In the following description, the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to vertical and horizontal directions when viewed from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the special variable winning winning ball unit 7, the left side constitutes a first special variable winning winning ball device 7A, and the right side constitutes a second special variable winning winning ball device 7B. In addition, a cover body (not shown) made of a synthetic resin material having translucency is attached to the front side of the special variable winning ball unit 7, and the player can select the special variable winning ball unit through the cover body. The game ball flowing through the inside of 7, especially the inside of the second special variable winning prize ball device 7B can be visually recognized.

  The first special variable winning ball device 7A includes a first large winning opening door 701 driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3), and is changed to an open state and a closed state by the first large winning opening door 701 Form the first big winning opening. The first big winning opening is formed to open upward at the left of the special variable winning ball unit 7. The first large winning opening door 701 can slide in the longitudinal direction between the closed position where the first large winning opening is closed by driving the solenoid 82 and the opening position where the first large winning opening is opened. ing.

  In the first special variable winning ball device 7A, when the solenoid 82 is on, the first large winning opening door 701 opens the first large winning opening, and the gaming ball passes the first large winning opening (enter) Make it easy. On the other hand, when the solenoid 82 is in the off state, the first large winning opening door 701 closes the first large winning opening so that the game ball can not pass (enter) the first large winning opening. As described above, the first large winning opening changes into an open state advantageous for the player who easily passes (enters) the game ball, and a closed state disadvantageously for the player because the game ball can not pass (enter). In addition to the closed state where the game ball can not pass (enter) the first big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball is difficult to pass (enter) the first big winning opening is provided. May be

  The game ball having passed (entered) the first big winning opening is detected by the first counting switch 23 by passing through the first count switch 23 (see FIG. 3) provided in the first big winning opening. . The game ball having passed the first count switch 23 is guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) the first large winning opening that is in the open state in the first special variable winning prize ball device 7A, other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening are More prize balls are paid out than when the game balls pass (enter). Therefore, when the first large winning opening is opened in the first special variable winning ball device 7A, the game ball can enter the first large winning opening, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the first large winning opening is closed in the first special variable winning ball device 7A, it is impossible or difficult to obtain a winning ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball to the first large winning opening This is a second state disadvantageous to the player.

  A plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are provided between the regular winning ball device 6A and the special variable winning ball unit 7 in the game board. The game ball hit in the left game area 10L can be won in the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A, while being blocked by these obstacle nails while the first big winning opening and the second big winning The game ball that has become incapable of winning in the mouth 712 and hit out in the right gaming area 10R is impracticable in the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A by being blocked by these obstacle nails It is possible to win the first large winning opening and the second large winning opening 712.

  In addition, most of the game balls which flowed down without entering the first big winning opening are guided to an out-port described later by an obstacle nail or the like (not shown).

  The second special variable winning ball device 7B shown in FIG. 12 is formed to project upward beyond the first special variable winning ball device 7A, and is opened and closed by a solenoid 83 (see FIG. 3). A winning opening door 711 is provided, and the second big winning opening door 711 forms a second winning opening 712 which changes between an open state and a closed state. The second large winning opening 712 is formed to open upward at the upper end of the second special variable winning ball device 7B. The second large winning opening door 711 is in a first state (opening state) in which the second large winning opening 712 is opened by driving the solenoid 83 and in a second state (closing state) in which the second large winning opening 712 is closed. It is provided so as to be slidable back and forth between the two.

  In the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the second large winning opening door 711 is in the on state, the second large winning opening door 711 makes the second large winning opening 712 open state, the gaming ball is It is easy to pass (enter) the second large winning opening 712. On the other hand, when the solenoid 83 for the second large winning opening door 711 is in the OFF state, the second large winning opening door 711 closes the second large winning opening 712 and the gaming ball displays the second large winning opening 712 Can not pass through (enter). As described above, the second large winning opening 712 changes into an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters), which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass (enter). In addition to the closed state where the game ball can not pass (enter) the second big winning opening 712, or in addition to the closed state, the game ball can not easily pass (enter) the second big winning opening 712. May be provided. The second big winning opening door 711 of the present embodiment opens the second big winning opening 712 for a plurality of times so that the period for which the second big winning opening 712 is in the open state is 10 seconds in total. Repeat closing.

  The game ball passing (entering) the second large winning opening 712 passes the second count switch 24A installed in the second large winning opening 712 shown in FIG. It is detected. A predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the game balls by the second count switch 24A. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) the second large winning opening 712 which has become open in the second special variable winning prize ball device 7B, other ordinary, such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example More prize balls are paid out than when the game balls pass (enter) the winning opening. Therefore, when the second large winning opening 712 is opened in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, the game ball can enter the second large winning opening 712, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the second large winning opening 712 is closed in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, it is impossible to pass (enter) the game ball to the second large winning opening 712 and obtain a winning ball Or it becomes difficult, and it becomes a second state disadvantageous to the player.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, a gaming ball flow channel 750 is formed in which gaming balls having passed through the second large winning opening 712 can flow down. The game ball channel 750 is a main path 740 (area along the solid line in FIG. 12) through which the game ball having passed the second big winning opening 712 can pass and a branch path 741 branched from the main path 740 (dotted line in FIG. 12) And the region along the A holding member 730 described later is disposed between the main path 740 and the branch path 741. Further, on the upstream side of the holding member 730 in the main path 740, a first branch portion 742 where the branch path 741 branches from the main path 740 is provided, and on the downstream side of the holding member 730 in the main path 740 A second branch 743 is provided where the branch path 741 branches from the path 740. That is, the gaming ball flowing down the main path 740 is movable from the first branch 742 or the second branch 743 to the branch path 741 side.

  A third count switch 24B through which game balls can pass is installed at the most downstream part of the main path 740, and the game balls pass the third count switch 24B to be operated by the third count switch 24B. It is detected. The game ball having passed through the third count switch 24B is guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2. Also, the gaming ball that has reached the most downstream portion of the diverging path 741 is guided to the back side of the gaming board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the gaming board 2 and passes the fourth count switch 24C. , And detected by the fourth count switch 24C.

  In this embodiment, the gaming state after the small hitting game is controlled to the big hitting gaming state based on the fact that the third counting switch 24B detects the gaming ball during the small hitting game to be described later. .

  On the downstream side of the first branch portion 742 in the main path 740, a restriction member 721 is provided which restricts and allows the flow of the gaming ball toward the third count switch 24B. The restricting member 721 protrudes into the main path 740 by driving the solenoid 85 (see FIG. 3), thereby restricting the flow toward the third count switch 24B in the main path 740 of the gaming ball. By retracting from the main path 740, it is provided slidably in the front-rear direction between the gaming ball in the main path 740 of the main path 740 and a permission state that allows the flow toward the third count switch 24B.

  The upper portion of the restriction member 721 is formed to be a flat surface, and the flat surface is provided on the main path 740 so as to form a predetermined angle downward toward the branch path 741 in a front view. . Therefore, when the gaming ball flows down the main path 740 while the regulating member 721 is in the regulating state, the gaming ball runs along the second branch portion 743 along the flat surface formed on the upper portion of the regulating member 721. It is induced to flow down toward the branch path 741 via the route.

  Between the main path 740 and the branch path 741, a holding member 730 is pivotally supported by a pivot directed in the front-rear direction. The holding member 730 is driven by the solenoid 86 (see FIG. 3) to a first position (solid line portion shown in FIG. 12) close to the regulating member 721 around the pivot and a second position separating from the regulating member 721 toward the branch path 741. It can be rocked between its position (an alternate long and short dash line portion shown in FIG. 12).

  Note that the restricting member 721 protrudes into the main path 740 three seconds after the start of the small hitting game by the CPU 103 executing the V winning solenoid drive process (see FIG. 31 described later) (see FIG. 31). ) After a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, after 5 seconds since the restricting member 721 protrudes into the main path 740), it retracts from within the main path 740 (controlled to an allowable state). In addition, the holding member 730 is moved to the first position three seconds after the start of the small hit game by the CPU 103 executing the V winning solenoid drive processing (see FIG. 31) described later (see FIG. 31). For example, the holding member 730 moves to the second position after 5 seconds have passed since the movement to the first position. That is, in the present embodiment, the restricting member 721 is controlled to the restricting state three seconds after the small hitting game is started, and the holding member 730 is moved to the first position. The gaming balls having flowed down the main path 740 are held on the regulating member 721 without flowing down to the branch path 741 side. Then, while the restricting member 721 is controlled to be permitted, the holding ball 730 is dropped from above the restricting member 721 by moving the holding member 730 to the second position, and the third count switch 24B is reliably operated. It is supposed to pass. In the lowermost position of the game area 10, an out port is provided where game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports are captured.

  At the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided, and further, around the playing area 10, a playing effect LED 9 is provided. Around each structure (for example, regular winning ball devices 6A, 6A ', normal variable winning ball device 6B, sorting device 300, special variable winning ball unit 7 etc.) in the game area 10 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 for decoration An LED may be arranged. At the lower right portion of the gaming machine frame 3 is provided a striking operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to fire a gaming ball as a gaming medium toward the gaming area 10. For example, the hit ball operating handle adjusts the resilience of the gaming ball according to the amount of operation (the amount of rotation) by the player or the like. The hitting control handle may be provided with a single-shot release switch for stopping the drive of the firing motor provided in the hit shooting device or a touch ring (touch sensor).

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area 10, a game ball paid out as a winning ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held so as to be able to be supplied to the ball striking device ( An upper plate (ball hitting supply plate) for storage is provided. At the lower part of the gaming machine frame 3, a lower tray is provided which holds (retains) surplus balls and the like overflowing from the upper tray so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  A stick controller 31A which can be held and tilted by the player is attached to a lower plate member forming the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate body (for example, the central portion of the lower plate). ing. The upper tray member forming the upper tray is, for example, a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing the predetermined position (for example, above the stick controller 31A) on the front side of the upper surface of the upper tray main body. Is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 10 is divided into a left game area 10L on the left side and a right game area 10R on the right side of the center decorative frame surrounding the periphery of the effect display device 5 disposed substantially at the center position of the game area 10. The game ball divided and hit weakly with the bat operating handle (left hitting) the game ball flows down the left gaming area 10L, and the ball hitting hard with the bat operating handle (right hitting) the right gaming area 10R It is supposed to flow down.

  In addition, the game ball which has flowed down the left gaming area 10L can be awarded to the normal winning ball device 6A, and the gaming ball which has flowed down the right gaming area 10R is the normal winning ball device 6A ', the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the first A large number of obstacle nails are disposed so as to be able to win the special variable winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B and to be able to pass through the passing gate 41. That is, in the case of a left-handed strike, the first special variable winning prize ball device 7A and the second special variable winning prize ball device 7B can not win, and can not pass through the passing gate 41.

  In this example, the first start winning opening, the second starting winning opening, the first large winning opening, the second large winning opening 712, the first general winning opening, the second general winning opening, and the out opening were passed (entered) The gaming balls are discharged to an out tank 500 (FIG. 1) provided on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game balls discharged to the out tank 500 are, for example, discharged into the gaming island where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed, and then transported to the upper part of the gaming island by a pumping device (not shown). It is supplied to each pachinko gaming machine 1 installed on the gaming island by a bowl provided at the top.

  In the out tank 500, each of the first start winning opening, the second starting winning opening, the first large winning opening, the second large winning opening 712, the first general winning opening, and the second general winning opening in the pachinko gaming machine 1 , A counting switch (not shown) for counting gaming balls discharged to the out tank 500 by having passed (entered) the out port, an out signal to the island repeater 1001 described later, and a corresponding pachinko machine 1 table An information output circuit (not shown) for outputting number data is provided.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the variation display of the normal symbol is executed by the normal symbol display 20 such that the gaming ball having passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition for starting the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is started, for example, that the fluctuation display of the previous common drawing is finished after the common drawing start condition for holding is satisfied. The fluctuation display of the common drawing by the display 20 is started.

  In the fluctuation display of this common figure, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when the predetermined time which becomes the common fluctuation time elapses, the fixed normal symbol which becomes the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (common symbol per symbol) such as a number indicating "7" is stopped and displayed as a determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the normal symbol is "per hit (per common symbol)". Become. On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating "7" as the determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the normal symbol is "off" It becomes. In response to the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol being "hit", the open control of the plate 60 constituting the normally variable winning ball device 6B is performed, and the closing control is performed when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  The game ball having passed through (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by the starting opening switch A22A shown in FIG. 3 or the first formed in the normal winning ball device 6A ' After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the game ball which has passed (entered) the start winning opening is detected by the start opening switch B 22 B shown in FIG. 3, for example, the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state has ended The variation display of the special drawing by the first special symbol display 4A is started based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the above. In addition, after the game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the starting opening switch C22C shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied due to the variation display of the previous special view or the end of the big hit gaming state, the variation display of the special view by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the variation display of the special figure by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, after starting the variation display of the special symbol, when the variation display time as the special figure fluctuation time passes, the special symbol The finalized special symbol (variation display result) to be the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined special symbol, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes "small hit" as a predetermined display result. Also, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed as a final symbol as a final symbol, it becomes "off".

  After the variable display result in the variable display of the special figure becomes a "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as a "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times. Ru. After the variable display result in the variable display of the special view becomes "small hit", it is controlled to a small hit gaming state as a special gaming state different from the big hit gaming state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, as an example, the special symbol indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, “7” is the big hit symbol, and the special symbol indicating the number “2” is the small hit symbol, The special symbol representing the symbol "-" is a symbol of disengaging. In addition, each symbol such as big hit symbol or small hit symbol in the variation display of the special figure by the first special symbol display 4A, each symbol such as the out pattern is different from each symbol in the variation display of the special figure by the second special symbol display 4B. The symbol may be a symbol, or the special symbol common to the variation display of both special views may be a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol, or an off symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the determined special symbol in the variation display of the special figure and becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the first big winning opening door of the first special variable winning ball device 7A In a period 701 until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated, the first big winning opening is opened. As a result, a round is performed in which the first special variable winning prize ball device 7A is brought into the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player.

  The round, which is the opening cycle of the first big winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”, “7”, etc.). In addition, even before the number of times of execution of the round reaches the upper limit number of times, execution of the round is ended by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the game ball did not win at the first large winning opening etc.) It is also good.

  In addition, after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the finalized special symbol in the variation display of the special view and becomes the "small hit" as the specific display result, in the small hit gaming state, the second special variable winning ball device 7B of the second (2) The time until the predetermined total time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses or the time until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated The second large winning opening 712 is repeatedly opened. As a result, the second special variable winning prize ball device 7B is in the first state (opened state) which is advantageous for the player.

  In the present embodiment, in the small hit gaming state, the second large winning opening door 711 is controlled to be open for a plurality of times until a predetermined total time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses. Although the form which makes the winning a prize mouth door 711 open repeatedly is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, in the small hitting game state, the 2nd large winning a prize mouth door 711 is opened only once It may be controlled to

  In the small hit gaming state, when the gaming ball that has won the second large winning opening 712 passes the third count switch 24B provided in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, the third counting switch 24B of the gaming ball It becomes a "big hit" based on the passage (V prize big hit). That is, the CPU 103 controls the gaming state to the big hit gaming state based on the detection of the passage of the third count switch 24B of the gaming ball. On the other hand, when the gaming ball having won the second large winning opening 712 in the small hit gaming state passes the fourth count switch 24C provided in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, it does not become a "big hit". That is, the CPU 103 does not control the gaming state to the big hit gaming state based on the detection of the passage of the fourth count switch 24C of the gaming ball. In the small hit in this embodiment, as described above, the game ball can win 10 balls in the second large winning opening 712, and any of the game balls winning in the second large winning opening 712 is a holding member After being held so as not to flow down to the branch path 741 side (the fourth count switch 24 C side) by 730 and the restriction member 721, the restriction member 721 always passes through the third count switch 24 B by retracting from the main path 740. Therefore, when a small hit occurs, the V winning jackpot is almost always generated by continuing to win the game ball in the second large winning opening 712 (see FIG. 12).

  Then, when the game ball is controlled to the big hit game state based on the passage of the third count switch 24B, the first large winning opening door 701 is a period until the predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or the predetermined The first large winning opening 702 is opened in a period until the number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated. As a result, a round game is executed in which the first special variable winning prize ball device 7A is brought into the first state (opened state) advantageous to the player.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit gaming state in the present embodiment, high base state (time reduction state) in which high base control (time reduction control) is performed in the range (for example, one time) of a predetermined number of changes, high base control It is controlled in any of the normal state (also referred to as the low base state) which is not performed. In this embodiment, by performing high base control, the fluctuation display time (special pattern fluctuation time) in the fluctuation display of the first special figure is extended compared to the normal state. The normal state is a normal gaming state different from a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, and the initialization state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, initialization processing after power on as in the case of system reset) Control) is performed. The high base control is performed that the variable display of the special figure is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, once) after the end of the big hit gaming state, that the variable display result becomes a "big hit", the game ball in the small hit gaming state May pass through the third count switch 24B, and may end when any of the conditions is met first.

  When high base control is performed, the fluctuation time (special figure fluctuation time) in the fluctuation display of the special drawing by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B is made shorter or longer than in the normal state. Control, control to shorten the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the common drawing by the normal symbol display 20 (general drawing fluctuation time) shorter than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation display of each common drawing Control to improve the probability of becoming "" than in the normal state, the open control time to perform the open control of the plate body 60 in the normal variable winning ball device 6B based on the fluctuation display result is "hit" The game ball is likely to pass through (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to be longer than when, and control to increase the number of times of opening more than in the normal state, thereby increasing the possibility of establishing the second start condition. This Control is performed in which it is advantageous for the player. As described above, the control that facilitates the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening with the high base control and is advantageous for the player is also referred to as the high opening control. As high open control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls (including all) may be combined and performed.

  By performing the high open control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the open state is increased more than when the high open control is not performed. Thereby, the second start condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the variable display of the special drawing can be frequently performed. Then, the time until the variable display result becomes "big hit" or "small hit" is shortened. The period in which the high release control can be performed is also referred to as a high release control period, and this period may be the same as the period in which the high base control is performed.

After determination, the variation pattern to be executed is not determined from the variation pattern belonging to the variation type belonging to the determined type, but using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. Although the present invention is determined, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, random number values for variation pattern type determination are provided, and these variation pattern types are provided. First, the type of variation pattern is determined from the random number value for determination, and then executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type. It is also possible to determine the variation pattern.

  In the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes the program read from the ROM 101, and uses the RAM 102 as a work area to execute various processes for controlling the progression of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, the CPU 103 can generate all of various random numbers used on the main substrate 11 side by executing a random number generation program.

  In the ROM 101 of the microcomputer 100 for game control, various table data and the like used to control the progress of the game are stored in addition to the program for game control. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of determination tables shown in FIG. 8 and the like, which are prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations and determinations. In addition, table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used for the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main substrate 11 in the ROM 101, and variation patterns of each symbol in the variable display such as a special symbol or a normal symbol The fluctuation pattern table etc. which store two or more kinds of fluctuation patterns which become are stored.

  The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes, for example, a special symbol display result determination table shown in FIG. 8A, a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) shown in FIG. 8B, and FIG. 8C. In addition to the big hit classification determination table (for the second special symbol), the small hit classification determination table shown in FIG. 8 (D), the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table (see FIG. 26 (D), FIG. 27 (B)) Judgment tables (see FIGS. 26A to 26C and 27A), common drawing display result judgment table shown in FIG. 9, and normal symbol variation pattern judgment tables (FIG. 19A to 19 (FIG. 19A) D) see etc.

  FIG. 8 (A) is an explanatory view showing a special symbol display result determination table. The special symbol display result determination table is a group of data stored in the ROM 101 and is a table in which a hit determination value to be compared with the MR 1 is set. In the special symbol display result determination table, the variation special figure designation buffer is 1 (first), that is, the first special figure is targeted for variation indication, and the variation special figure designation buffer is 2 (second figure In other words, for each of the cases where the second special symbol is subject to variable display, the judgment value for the big hit and the judgment value for the small hit are set.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the variation special-characteristic designation buffer is the first, the determination value corresponding to the big hit, the determination value corresponding to the small hit, and the determination value corresponding to the deviation are set. There is. In particular, when the variation special figure designation buffer is the first, that is, when the first special symbol is targeted for variation indication, the big hit and the small hit will be won with the same probability (1/250) If the judgment value is set to 0 and neither the big hit nor the small hit is won, the judgment value is set so as to be a departure. Although the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the determination value is set such that the big hit and the small hit are won with the same probability when the variation special figure designation buffer is the first, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Is not limited to this, and if the small hit can be won if the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first, the judgment value is set so that the small hit will be won with a probability different from the big hit. It is also good.

  Also, when the variation special figure designation buffer is the second, the same determination value as the case where the variation special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the determination value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol Even when the target of the variable display is large jackpot occurs with the same probability as when the first special symbol is the target of the variable display, and all the remaining judgment values correspond to the small hit judgment By being set as a value, when the second special symbol is the target of the variable display, the small hit is won with a probability (ratio) of 249/250.

  That is, when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the big hit shown in FIG. 8A, the CPU 103 determines that a big hit (big hit A to big hit C) is made for the special symbol. Also, if MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hits shown in FIG. 8A, it is determined that the special symbol is to be a small hit. The “probability” shown in FIG. 8A indicates the probability (percentage) of becoming a big hit and the probability (percentage) of becoming a small hit. In addition, to decide whether to make a big hit is to decide whether to control to a big hit gaming state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B It is also to decide whether or not to make it a jackpot symbol. In addition, to decide whether or not to make a small hit is to determine whether to control to a small hit gaming state, but do you want to make the stop symbol in the second special symbol display 4B a small hit symbol It is also to decide whether or not.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 103 determines whether to make a big hit or a small hit using the special symbol display result determination table shown in FIG. 8A, but the big hit determination table and the small hit A collision judgment table is provided separately, and the judgment of the jackpot is common to the case of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol regardless of the fluctuation special view designation buffer and the case of the fluctuation display of the second special symbol The small hit determination may be performed using separate tables for the first and second variation special-characteristic designation buffers.

  FIGS. 8B and 8C are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. FIG. Among these, FIG. 8 (B) is a case where the jackpot type is determined using the suspension memory based on the game ball having won the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) Table. Further, FIG. 8C shows the case where the jackpot type is determined using the suspension memory based on the game ball having won the second start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed). It is a table.

  The jackpot type determination table is one of the jackpot A to jackpot C based on the random number for determining the jackpot type (MR2) when it is judged that the variable display result is to be the jackpot symbol. Is a table that is referenced to determine the In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) is provided with two types of big hits, big hit A and big hit B. On the other hand, in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), only one type of jackpot of jackpot C is provided. That is, when the variation display of the first special symbol is performed, the big hit that occurs when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed while being one of the two types of big hit of the big hit A and the big hit B As a big hit that occurs in, it becomes only big hit C.

  FIGS. 8D and 8E are explanatory views showing a small hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a small hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. . The small hit type judgment table is based on the random number (MR2) for the hit type judgment when the variable display result is judged to be a small hit symbol, the small hit type is a small hit A or a small hit B. Is a table that is referenced to determine the In this embodiment, when the game ball passes the third count switch 24B during the small hit game of the small hit A, that is, when the V winning big hit occurs, the big hit game of the big hit type big hit D is executed If the game ball passes the third count switch 24B during the small hit game of the small hit B, that is, if a V winning big hit occurs, the big hit game of the big hit type big hit E is executed It has become so. That is, the big hit D and the big hit E are not the big hit types determined by the random number value MR2 for the hit type determination extracted at the start winning, but the game ball during the small hit game of any of the small hits A and B Is a jackpot type determined by whether or not the third count switch 24B is passed. As shown in FIG. 8 (D) and FIG. 8 (E), when the variation display result of the first special symbol is a small hit, and when the variation display result of the second special symbol is a small hit, the first The judgment value is set so that the small hit type is determined to be a small hit A at a high rate when the variation display result of the special symbol is a small hit.

  In this embodiment, as a small hit type, an example is shown in which a small hit A and a small hit B are provided in which a big hit game of different big hit types is executed by occurrence of V winning during a small hit game. As the small hit type, even by providing a small hit where V winning is likely to occur during a small hit game and a small hit where V winning is unlikely to occur, by making the opening period and opening pattern of the second large winning opening 712 different. Good. Furthermore, in the variable display of the first special symbol, the determination ratio of the small hit type in which the V winning is hard to occur during the small hit game may be set higher than the variable display of the second special symbol.

  Here, the big hit type in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 6. In the present embodiment, as the big hit type, the big hit A and the big hit C to the big hit E with which the high base control is executed after the end of the big hit game. A big hit B is set in which the high base control is not executed after the end of the big hit game.

  Among the big hit A to big hit E, the big hit A is a big hit repeated seven times (so-called seven rounds) of changing the first big winning opening to a second state advantageous to the player. In addition, after the end of the big hit game of big hit A, high base control is executed in one special figure game.

  The jackpot B is a jackpot that is repeatedly executed seven times (so-called seven rounds) of changing the first jackpot to the second state advantageous to the player. Further, after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the jackpot B, the high base control is not executed (low base control), and the gaming state is controlled to the normal state.

  The jackpot C is a jackpot that is repeatedly executed 15 times (so-called 15 rounds) of changing the first jackpot to the second state advantageous to the player. In addition, after the big hit game state of big hit C ends, high base control is executed in one special figure game.

  The jackpot D is a jackpot intended for the V prize when the player wins a small hit A as a result of the variable display of the second special symbol, and changes the first big winning opening to a second state advantageous to the player. Is a big hit repeated 15 times (so-called 15 rounds). In addition, after the big hit game state of the big hit D ends, high base control is executed in one special figure game.

  The jackpot E is a jackpot intended for a V prize when the player wins a small hit A as a result of the variable display of the second special symbol, and changes the first big winning opening to a second state advantageous to the player. There are seven jackpots (so-called seven rounds) that are repeatedly executed. In addition, after the big hit game state of big hit E ends, high base control is executed in one special figure game.

  In the high base state, the probability of being "per common" increases, so that a small hit is more likely to occur than in the normal state. For this reason, in the high base state, a big hit may occur due to the occurrence of a big hit as a result of the variable display of the second special symbol, and a big hit may occur due to the game ball winning V during a small hit game. It becomes a so-called continuous state which is likely to occur continuously without passing through the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, five types of big hit A to big hit E are provided as big hit types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and six or more types of big hit types may be provided. And four or less may be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, in the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 239 out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR 2 is assigned to the jackpot A, 240 Up to 299 are assigned to the jackpot B. For this reason, when a big hit occurs in the special figure game of the first special symbol, the high base control is executed after the big hit game ends with a probability of 80%.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), all the ranges (0 to 299) out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2 are the jackpot C Because the jackpot game is assigned to the game, 15 rounds of big hit games are always executed, and high base control is always executed after the big hit game is over.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (D), in the small hit classification determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 9 out of the range of 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR 2 are assigned to the small hit A. , 10 to 299 are assigned to the small hit B. Therefore, when a small hit occurs in the special symbol game of the first special symbol, 15 rounds of big hit games are executed with a probability of about 3.3%. In addition, after the big hit game ends, high base control is always executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 8E, in the small hit classification determination table (for the second special symbol), 0 to 59 within the range of 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR 2 is assigned to the small hit A. 60 to 299 are assigned to the small hit B. Therefore, when a V winning big hit occurs during a small hit game, a 15 round big hit game is executed with a probability of 20%. In addition, after the big hit game ends, high base control is always executed.

  In the present embodiment, although a mode in which the high base control is always executed after the end of the big hit game when the V winning big hit occurs during the small hit game is illustrated, the present invention is limited to this. Alternatively, the high base control may not be executed after the end of the big hit game when the V winning big hit occurs during the small hit game.

  The ROM 101 also includes a plurality of special symbol variation pattern determination tables for determining a special symbol variation pattern based on the random number value MR3 for special symbol variation pattern determination, and a random number value MR6 for ordinary symbol variation pattern determination. An ordinary symbol variation pattern determination table for determining an ordinary symbol variation pattern is also stored (see FIGS. 25 and 26). The special symbol variation pattern is determined using a special symbol variation pattern determination table which varies depending on the special symbol to be displayed for variation, the number of special drawing reservations, the gaming state, the predetermination result and the like. The normal symbol variation pattern is determined using a different normal symbol variation pattern determination table according to the gaming state and the predetermination result (see FIG. 19).

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a normal symbol display result determination table. The normal symbol display result determination table is a group of data stored in the ROM 101 and is a table in which a hit determination value to be compared with the MR 4 is set. In the normal symbol display result determination table of this embodiment, "23" is assigned to "per (per diagram)" within the range 3 to 23 of the possible values of the value of MR4, and "3" to " The range "22" is assigned to "off". That is, when the variable display of the normal symbol is executed, the player wins "hit" with a probability of 1/21.

When the first special symbol variation start command is received based on the fact that the first special figure variation is newly started while the display is newly added, of the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 5H , The top (the first stored start winning reserve) circular white display is erased, and the other circular white display shifts (moves) in a predetermined direction (for example, left direction), Update pending storage display. Similarly, when the second starting opening winning combination designation command is received based on the start winning to the second starting winning opening, lighting of a new LED is started as effect holding display in the effect holding display unit 30 On the other hand, when the second special symbol change start command is received based on the start of the change of the second special figure anew, the top of the effect hold display in the effect hold display unit 30 (the first start winning prize The LED of the hold storage) is turned off, and the effect hold display is updated so that the other LEDs shift (move) in a predetermined direction (for example, the left direction).

  As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 1 configured as described above are installed on gaming islands provided in each gaming field. In addition, a plurality of outtanks 500 are installed in each gaming island in one-to-one correspondence with each pachinko gaming machine 1. The pachinko gaming machine 1 and the out tank 500 installed in the game arcade are communicably connected to an island repeater 1001 such as an island controller installed in each gaming island. Furthermore, each island repeater 1001 is communicably connected via a local area network (LAN) to a hall computer 1000 that manages each pachinko gaming machine 1 installed in the game arcade. Therefore, each pachinko gaming machine 1 sends various signals (big hit 1 signal, big hit 2 signal, blowout signal, symbol confirmation signal, full prize ball signal, all signals from the information output circuit 112 to the island repeater 1001 described later) It is possible to output a winning signal, a winning 1 signal, a winning 2 signal, a winning 3 signal, a winning 4 signal, a door open signal, a security signal, etc.), and the out tank 500 is connected to an island repeater from an information output circuit (not shown). With respect to 1001, it is possible to output an out signal capable of specifying the number of gaming balls detected by a count switch (not shown) and machine number data of the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1. The out signal is a signal capable of specifying the total number of game balls used in the game, and is output each time ten balls of the game balls are detected by a count switch (not shown).

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 having executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. In the timer interrupt process, the CPU 103 first executes a power-off detection process for detecting whether or not the power-off signal is output (is in the on state) (S11). The power-off signal is output, for example, when the power supply monitoring circuit mounted on the power supply substrate detects a drop in the voltage of the power supplied to the gaming machine. Then, in the power-off detection process, when the CPU 103 detects that the power-off signal is output, the CPU 103 executes a power-supply stop process for storing necessary data in the backup RAM area.

The CPU 103 further performs processing of updating the initial value random number and the count value of the counter for generating the display random number (initial value random number updating process, display random number updating process: S15, S16).

  Further, the CPU 103 performs normal symbol process processing (S17). In the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 executes the corresponding processing in accordance with the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 20 in a predetermined order. The CPU 103 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag in accordance with the gaming state.

  Next, special symbol process processing is performed (S18). In the special symbol process processing, the corresponding processing is executed in accordance with the special symbol process flag for controlling the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B and the special winning opening in a predetermined order. The CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag in accordance with the gaming state.

  In the information output process of the present embodiment, although the embodiment capable of outputting the above ten signals is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and other signals can be output in the information output process. It may be For example, although the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which an out signal indicating the number of all game balls used for playing a game is output from the out tank 500, the out signal may be outputable in the information output process. As described above, when it is possible to output the out signal in the information output process, an out port switch capable of detecting the game ball is provided in the out port, and the game ball discharged from the game area 10, that is, the start port switch A22A, start Out of every 10 game balls detected by the mouth switch B22B, the starting mouth switch C22C, the general winning hole switch A22D, the general winning hole switch 22E, the first count switch 23, the second count switch 24A, and the out hole switch It suffices to output a signal.

  In the present embodiment, the RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the CPU 103 is configured to turn on / off the solenoid in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. Are output to the output port (S23: output processing).

  Also, the CPU 103 performs special symbol display control processing for setting special symbol display control data for performing special symbol display according to the value of the special symbol process flag in the output buffer for setting the special symbol display control data ( S24). For example, the CPU 103 sets the start flag set in the special symbol process processing until the end flag is set, if the fluctuation speed is 1 frame / 0.2 seconds, every 0.2 seconds elapse Then, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 103 outputs the drive signal in S13 according to the display control data set in the output buffer, thereby the first special symbol and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B. 2 Perform variable display of special symbols.

  Furthermore, the CPU 103 performs normal symbol display control processing for setting normal symbol display control data for performing effect display of normal symbols according to the value of the normal symbol process flag in the output buffer for setting normal symbol display control data ( S25). The CPU 103 outputs, for example, every time 0.2 seconds elapse, if the fluctuation speed is 1 frame / 0.2 seconds, until the end flag is set when the start flag relating to the fluctuation of the normal symbol is set. The value of display control data set in the buffer is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 103 executes the variation display of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 20 by outputting the drive signal in S13 according to the display control data set in the output buffer. Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S26), and the process ends.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S17 shown in FIG. 13 as the normal symbol process process. In the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether the gate switch 21 provided in the passing gate 41 has been turned on (S91). When the gate switch 21 is turned on, that is, when the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41 (S91; Y), the general drawing gate passage processing (S92) is executed. After execution of common drawing gate passage processing, or when the gate switch 21 is not turned on (S91; N), one of the processing of S100 to S104 is selected according to the value of the normal symbol process flag Run.

  In the normal symbol normal processing of S100, it is determined based on the presence / absence of the holding data stored in the common pattern holding storage unit whether or not the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display unit 20 is to be started. Further, in the normal symbol normal processing, the variable display result is derived and displayed whether or not the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is "hit" based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for determining the common drawing display result. Decision (pre-decision) before Furthermore, in the normal symbol normal processing, the determined normal symbol (one of the hit symbol and the off symbol) in the common symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is set corresponding to the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol in the common symbol game . In the normal symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the normal symbol is determined in advance, the value of the common drawing process flag is updated to a value according to the “normal symbol change pattern setting processing”.

  In the normal symbol variation pattern setting process of S101, using the numerical data indicating the random number value MR6 for the normal symbol variation pattern determination based on the result of the prior determination of whether or not the variation display result of the normal symbol is "hit". A process of determining a normal symbol variation pattern as any of a plurality of types is included. When the normal symbol variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the normal symbol is started, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to the value according to the normal symbol variation processing.

  By the normal symbol normal processing of S100 and the normal symbol variation pattern setting processing of S101, the variation pattern including the variation display time of the determined normal symbol, the normal symbol and the effect symbol, which is the variation display result of the normal symbol, is determined. That is, the normal symbol normal processing and the normal symbol variation pattern setting processing use the random number value MR4 for determining the common pattern display result and the random number value MR6 for the normal symbol variation pattern determination to display the variation display mode of the normal symbol and the effect symbol. It includes the process of deciding.

  The normal symbol variation process of S102 includes the process of setting the variation of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 20 and the process of measuring the elapsed time after the normal symbol starts to vary. . For example, every time the normal symbol variation process of S102 is executed, the common symbol variation time timer value which is the storage value in the normal symbol variation time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit is decremented by 1 or added in common The timer for measuring the elapsed time. In addition, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the common drawing fluctuation time corresponding to the normal symbol fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the fluctuation of the normal symbol has reached the common drawing fluctuation time, the value of the common drawing process flag is updated to a value according to the normal symbol stop processing.

  The normal symbol stop process at S103 includes the process of stopping the variation of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 20 and performing the setting for stopping (deriving) the determined normal symbol as the variation display result of the normal symbol. It is done. Then, it is determined whether the normal symbol hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is on (is set or not), etc., and the normal symbol hit flag is on (set In the case of (1), the value of the common drawing process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing during the opening of the normal motor-operated combination. On the other hand, when the normal symbol winning flag is off (not set), the value of the drawing process flag is updated to a value according to the normal symbol normal processing.

  The processing during opening of the ordinary motorized character in S104 includes processing for setting the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B to be in the open state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol has become "hit" etc. It is done. Then, a determination is made as to whether or not the game ball has entered the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, a determination as to whether or not the normally variable winning ball device 6B is to be closed. When the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B is in the closed state, the value of the common drawing process flag is updated to a value according to the normal symbol normal processing.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S92 shown in FIG. In the general drawing gate passage processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of gate passage storages, ie, the common drawing reservation storage number is four (S115). If the gate passing memory number is four, the general drawing gate passing process is terminated, and if the gate passing memory number is three or less, the gate passing memory counter is incremented by one, that is, the common figure reservation number is incremented by one ( S116). Then, the CPU 103 extracts the random number MR4 of the random number for determining the normal symbol and the random number MR6 of the random number for determining the normal pattern variation pattern, and stores the storage area (general number of gate passing storages) The image is stored in the diagram storage unit (S117). Then, the display of the common drawing reservation display 25C is incremented by 1, and the common drawing gate passage processing is ended.

  In addition, in the normal symbol normal processing and the processing during the opening of the normal motor combination in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the starting opening switch B22B has been turned on, that is, whether or not the second starting winning opening gaming ball has won. Do also.

  FIG. 17 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in S100 shown in FIG. 15 as normal symbol normal processing. In this normal symbol normal processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the change standby timer indicating that the next normal symbol is on standby until it starts the variable display has timed out (S120). If the fluctuation standby timer has timed out, the processing proceeds to step S121. If the fluctuation standby timer has not timed out, the processing proceeds to step S129.

  In S121, the CPU 103 determines whether the number of gate passage memories is 0, that is, whether the common drawing reservation memory number is 0, by referring to the value of the gate passage memory counter. When the gate passing memory number is 0, the normal symbol normal processing is ended, and when the gate passing memory number is 1 or more, the process proceeds to S122.

  In S122, the CPU 103 reads out the random number value MR4 for common drawing display result determination stored in the storage area corresponding to the number of gate passing memories = 1, that is, the top entry of the common drawing reservation storage unit. Then, the value of the gate passing memory number counter is decremented by 1 and the content of the storage area (general drawing reserve storage unit) is shifted (S123). Further, the CPU 103 decrements the display of the common view holding display 25C by 1 (S124).

  Further, the CPU 103 compares the value of the random number MR4 read out in S122 with the judgment value of the hit of the normal symbol display result judgment table shown in FIG. 9, and judges the read value of the random number MR4 and the normal symbol display result It is determined whether or not the determination value of the hit of the table matches, that is, whether it is a "hit" (S126). If it is a "hit", a normal symbol hit flag is set and it proceeds to S128a (S127), and if it is a "detach", it proceeds to S128a without executing S127.

  In S128a, the CPU 103 determines the determined normal symbol based on the fact that the normal symbol display result is "hit" or "off". Then, in S128b, the CPU 103 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value according to the normal symbol variation pattern setting processing, and ends the normal symbol normal processing.

  Further, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the fluctuation standby timer by 1 (S129) based on the judgment that the fluctuation standby timer has not timed out in S120 (S129), and whether or not the start port switch C22C is turned on, that is, Then, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won in the second start winning opening (S130a). When the starting opening switch C22C is turned on, the process proceeds to S130b, and when the starting opening switch C22C is not turned on, the normal symbol normal processing is ended.

  In S130 b, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second number of pending storages is 4 which is the upper limit value by referring to the second special view pending storage unit. If the second pending storage number is 4 which is the upper limit, normal symbol normal processing is ended, and if the second pending storage number is 3 or less, 1 is added to the second pending storage number, that is, random The values of the numerical values MR1 to MR3 are extracted, and the values of these random number values MR1 to MR3 are additionally stored in the lowest entry of the second special image storage section. Then, transmission setting of the second start opening winning combination designation command and the second hold storage numerical value command to the effect control board 12 is performed (S130d), and the normal symbol normal processing is ended. The command set for transmission in S130d is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in S101 shown in FIG. 15 as normal symbol variation pattern setting processing. In the normal symbol variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 first determines whether the normal symbol hit flag is set (S131). If the normal symbol hit flag is set, the process proceeds to S132, and if the normal symbol hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S133.

  In S132, the CPU 103 determines whether a high base flag indicating that high base control is being performed is set. If the high base flag is set, the process proceeds to step S134b. If the high base flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S134a.

  In S134a, the CPU 103 selects the low base-based fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 19B based on the fact that the high base flag is not set, and proceeds to S136. In S134b, the CPU 103 selects the high base-based fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 19D based on the fact that the high base flag is set, and proceeds to S136.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (B), in the low base-based variation pattern determination table, all the determination values of “0” to “149”, which are the possible ranges of the random number MR6, are normal symbol variation. It is assigned to the normal symbol variation pattern (FPA2-1) of normal variation in which the time is 10000 ms. That is, when the gaming state is the low base state (normal state), when the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is "hit", the ordinary symbol is uniquely displayed fluctuating over a period of 10000 ms and becomes a hit. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19D, in the high base-based fluctuation pattern determination table, the range of “0” to “89” out of the range “0” to “149” that can be taken by the random value MR6. The judgment value of is assigned to the normal symbol fluctuation pattern (FPA2-2) per shortening fluctuation (non reach) where the normal symbol fluctuation time is 5000 ms, and the judgment value in the range of “90” to “129” is Super reach is assigned to the normal symbol variation pattern (FPA2-3) per normal reach where the symbol variation time is 15000 ms, and the judgment value in the range of "130" to "149" is the super reach where the normal symbol variation time is 20000 ms It is assigned to the hit regular symbol variation pattern (FPA2-4).

  In step S133, the CPU 103 determines whether the high base flag is set. If the high base flag is set, the process proceeds to step S135b. If the high base flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S135a.

  In S135a, the CPU 103 selects the low base out-of-out variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 19A based on the fact that the high base flag is not set, and proceeds to S136. In S135b, the CPU 103 selects the high base out-of-order variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 19C based on the high base flag being set, and proceeds to S136.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (A), in the low base deviation fluctuation pattern determination table, all of the judgment values in the range of “0” to “149” which can be taken by the random number MR6 are normal symbol fluctuation. It is assigned to the normal symbol variation pattern (FPA1-1) of normal variation in which the time is 10000 ms. That is, when the variation display result of the normal symbol is "off" when the gaming state is the low base state (normal state), the normal symbol is uniquely displayed over the period of 10000 ms and becomes the outside .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the high-base out-of-plane variation pattern determination table, the range of “0” to “119” out of the range “0” to “149” that can be taken by random number MR6. The judgment value of is assigned to the normal fluctuation pattern (FPA1-2) of the shortening fluctuation (non reach) out of which the normal fluctuation time is 5000 ms, and the judgment value in the range of "120" to "139" is Normal reach is assigned to the normal reach variation pattern (FPA1-3) with a normal reach deviation time of 15000 ms, and the judgment value in the range from "140" to "149" is an ordinary reach variation time of 20000 ms. It is assigned to the normal symbol variation pattern (FPA1-4) of the disengaging.

  As described above, when the variable display of the normal symbol is executed when the high base control is being executed, a determination value is assigned to each of the fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. 19 (C) and FIG. 19 (D) In the case where the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is executed with the normal symbol fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the expectation is high and the ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern of the shortening fluctuation is the lowest and the expectation is low. Expectation rate per high-end 中 図: super reach> normal reach> shortened fluctuation).

Next, in S136, the CPU 103 determines an ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation pattern determination table selected in any of S134a, S134b, S135a, and S135b and the value of the random number MR6 for ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern determination. Then, a value corresponding to the variation time of the determined normal symbol variation pattern is set to the normal symbol variation time timer (S137), and transmission setting of the normal symbol variation pattern designation command and the normal symbol variation display result designation command is performed (S138) . The command set for transmission in S138 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process. After execution of S138. The CPU 103 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value according to the normal symbol variation processing, and ends the normal symbol variation pattern setting processing.

  FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in S102 shown in FIG. 15 as normal symbol variation processing. In this normal symbol variation process, the CPS 103 first determines whether the normal symbol variation time timer has timed out (S141). If the normal symbol fluctuation time timer has timed out, the processing proceeds to S143, and if the normal symbol fluctuation time timer has not timed out, the processing proceeds to S142.

  In S142, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the normal symbol variation time timer by 1, and ends the normal symbol variation processing. Also, the CPU 103 at S143 has a value corresponding to the common pattern stop symbol display period to indicate a period for stopping the normal symbol derived and displayed by the normal symbol stop period timer based on the normal symbol variation time timer having timed out. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the normal symbol stop processing, and the normal symbol variation processing is ended.

  FIG. 21 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in S103 shown in FIG. 15 as normal symbol stop processing. In the normal symbol stop process, the CPU 103 first determines whether the normal symbol hit flag is set. If the normal symbol hit flag is set, the CPU 103 causes the normal symbol display 20 to stop and display the stop symbol and proceeds to S152 (S151a). When the normal symbol hit flag is not set, the CPU 103 The normal symbol display 20 causes the stop symbol of the deviation to be stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to S152 (S151 b).

  In S152, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of a normal symbol determination command. The command set for transmission in S152 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process. Then, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol stop period timer has timed out (S153). If the normal symbol stop period timer has timed out, the process proceeds to S154. If the normal symbol stop period timer has not timed out, the value of the normal symbol stop period timer is decremented by one and the normal symbol stop process is ended.

  In S154, the CPU 103 determines whether the normal symbol hit flag is set. If the normal symbol hit flag is set, the process proceeds to S155, and if the normal symbol hit flag is not set, the waiting time until the start of the next normal symbol fluctuation start of the fluctuation standby timer (the next fluctuation waiting time) The set value is set (S159a), the value of the normal symbol process flag is updated to a value according to the normal symbol normal processing, and the normal symbol stop processing is ended (S159b).

  In step S155, the CPU 103 determines whether the high base flag is set. If the high base flag is set, the value corresponding to the second ordinary electric combination work time is set in the electric combination work period timer, and the process proceeds to S157 (S156b). If the high base flag is not set, A value corresponding to the first ordinary electric combination operation time is set in the electric combination operation period timer, and the process proceeds to S157 (S156a). Note that the second ordinary motor-operated part operating time is longer than the first ordinary motor-operated part operating time. That is, when the variation display result of the normal symbol is "hit" when the high base control is being executed, the variation display result of the normal symbol is "hit" when the high base control is not performed. The game ball can be won in the second start winning opening over a longer period of time.

  Then, the CPU 103 starts the release of the ordinary motorized symbol by retracting the plate 60 from the front side of the game board 2 by driving the solenoid 81 in S157, and the value of the ordinary symbol process flag is set to the ordinary motor symbol. During the opening, the symbol is updated to a value corresponding to the processing, and the normal symbol stop processing is ended (S158).

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S104 shown in FIG. In the processing during the opening of the normal electric combination, the CPU 103 first decrements the value of the operation combination timer by 1 (S160), and whether or not the starting opening switch C22C is turned on, that is, the second starting winning opening It is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize (S161). When the starting opening switch C22C is turned on, the processing proceeds to S162, and when the starting opening switch C22C is not turned on, the processing proceeds to S165.

  In S162, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second number of pending storages is 4 as the upper limit value by referring to the second special view pending storage unit. If the second pending storage number is 4 which is the upper limit value, the process proceeds to S166, and if the second pending storage number is 3 or less, 1 is added to the second pending storage number, that is, random numbers MR1 to MR3 The value of these random number values MR1 to MR3 is additionally stored in the lowest entry of the second special figure holding storage unit (S163). Then, the transmission setting for the effect control board 12 of the second start opening winning combination designation command and the second hold storage numerical value command is performed (S164), and the process proceeds to S166. The command set for transmission in S164 is transmitted from the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  In S165, the CPU 103 determines whether the motor-operated product operation period timer has timed out. If the motor-operated product operation period timer has timed out, the process proceeds to S166, and if the motor-operated product operation period timer has not timed out, the processing for the ordinary motored product open is ended.

  In S166, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the normal motor combination product release end designation command. Further, by driving the solenoid 81 to project the plate 60 to the front side of the game board 2, the ordinary electric role is closed (S167), and the ordinary symbol hit flag is cleared (S168). Next, the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the next fluctuation standby time to the fluctuation standby timer (S169), and updates the value of the ordinary symbol process flag to a value according to the ordinary symbol normal processing, and the ordinary electric role is open. End the process.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S18 shown in FIG. 13 as the special symbol process process. In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (S31). After executing the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of S32 to S41 according to the value of the special view process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit.

  In the start winning process of S31, it is determined whether or not there is a first start winning by the starting opening switch A22A or the starting opening switch B22B, and if there is a winning, random number value MR1 for special view display result determination, big hit type The random number value MR2 for determination and the random number value MR3 for special symbol variation pattern determination are extracted and stored at the top of the empty entry in the first special image storage unit.

  The special symbol normal processing of S32 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In this special symbol normal processing, the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display is based on the presence / absence of the holding data stored in the first special view holding storage unit and the second special view holding storage unit. A determination is made as to whether or not to start the special drawing game by 4B. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination, whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol or the representation pattern is "big hit" is the special symbol or the effect It is decided (predetermined) before the fluctuation display result of the symbol is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, in response to the variation display result of the special symbol in the special figure game, the finalized special symbol in the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B (big hit symbol or A small hit symbol, one of an off symbol) is set. In the special symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is determined in advance, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “1”.

  The special symbol variation pattern setting process of S33 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this special symbol variation pattern setting process, numerical data indicating a random number value MR3 for special symbol variation pattern determination is used based on the result of predetermination of whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol is "big hit", etc. A process of determining the variation pattern of the special symbol to any of a plurality of types is included. When the special symbol variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2".

  By the special symbol normal processing of S32 and the special symbol variation pattern setting processing of S33, the variation pattern including the variation display time of the finalized special symbol, the special symbol and the effect symbol as the variation symbol display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are performed using the special symbol display result determination random number value MR1, the jackpot type determination random number value MR2, and the special symbol variation pattern determination random number value MR3. It includes the process of determining the variation display mode of the effect pattern.

  The special symbol variation process of S34 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol indicator 4A and the second special symbol indicator 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of S24 is executed, the special figure variation timer value which is the storage value in the special figure variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit is decremented by 1 or added with 1 Regardless of whether it is a special drawing game using the first special drawing in the symbol display 4A or a special drawing game using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display 4B, the elapsed time is determined by the common timer. Measurement is performed. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Thus, the special symbol variation process of S24 is the variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol indicator 4A, and the second special figure in the second special symbol indicator 4B. It is sufficient that the process of controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special drawing game using the symbol is controlled by the common processing routine. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stopping process of S35 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and the finalized special symbol as the variation display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) It includes the process of making settings for Then, it is determined whether the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is on or not, and if the big hit flag is on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". Ru. On the other hand, if the big hit flag is off, it is further determined whether the small hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is on or not, and the small hit flag is on. Is updated to “7”. When both the big hit flag and the small hit flag are off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S36 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In this big hit opening pre-processing, based on the fluctuation display result of the special symbol becoming “big hit” etc, setting to start execution of the round in big hit game state and open the 1st big winning opening Start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and open the second big winning opening 712, based on the occurrence of the V prize big hit due to the process to do the and the variation display result of the special symbol becoming "small hit" It includes the process of setting for setting the status. As a setting for starting execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and opening the first big winning opening based on the variation display result of the special symbol becoming “big hit” etc., for example, the big hit type “ The upper limit of the period during which the first big winning opening is in the open state may be set according to which one of the big hit A ", the big hit B, and the" big hit C ". As an example, regardless of the type of big hit, while setting the upper limit of the period which makes the 1st big winning a prize opening state to “29 seconds”, the opening frequency of the 1st big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit frequency which executes the round, The setting of the jackpot state may be performed by setting “7 times” for “big hit A” or “big hit B” and “15 times” for “big hit C”.

  In addition, based on the V prize big hit generated by the variation display result of the special symbol becoming "small hit", the execution of the round is started in the big hit gaming state, and the second big prize port 712 is opened. The setting for the second big winning opening 712 in the open state corresponding to whether the type of the small hit where the V prize has occurred is “small hitting A” or “small hitting B”. An upper limit may be set. As an example, regardless of the big hit type, while setting the upper limit of the period which makes the 2nd big winning a prize opening 712 open state to “29 seconds”, the opening frequency of the 1st big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit frequency which executes the round If it is "big hit D" based on the occurrence of V prize in "small hit A", if it is "big hit E" based on the occurrence of V prize in "small hit B" if it is "15 times" The setting to be a big hit state may be performed by setting each to “7 times”. After these settings are completed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of S37 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "5". In this big hit opening process, the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening 712, the measured elapsed time, and the first count switch 23 or the second count switch Processing is included to determine whether it is time to return the first large winning opening or the second large winning opening 712 from the open state to the closed state based on the number of game balls detected by 24A, etc. . Then, when returning the first large winning opening or the second large winning opening 712 to the closed state, the output of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the first large winning opening door 701 or the solenoid 83 for the second large winning opening door 711 Is executed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "6".

  The big hit end processing of S38 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit end process, a waiting time corresponding to a period in which ending effect is performed as a rendering operation to notify the end of the big hit gaming state by a rendering device such as the rendering display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the gaming effect LED 9, etc. Processing for waiting until the passage of time has elapsed, and processing for performing various settings (setting of a high base flag) for starting high base control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  Specifically, in the big hit end process, the type of the big hit that has been executed is specified. Then, if the identified big hit type is “big hit B”, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0” without setting the high base flag. If the identified jackpot type is other than "big hit B", the high base flag is set, and the initial count value ("1" in this embodiment) is set in the high base number counter to set the value of the special figure process flag. Update to "0".

  The small hit opening pre-processing of S39 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this small hit opening pre-processing, based on the variation display result of the special symbol becoming "small hit", etc., processing for setting for setting the second big winning opening 712 open in the small hit gaming state Etc. are included. At this time, based on, for example, the variable display result being "small hit", the total period of the period in which the second large winning opening 712 is opened is set to "10 seconds", and the second large winning opening 712 The setting for the small hit state may be performed by setting the opening number of the second large winning opening 712 to be repeatedly performed until the period in which the second opening state reaches the “10 seconds”. At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "8".

  The small hit open processing of S40 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "8". In this small hit open processing, processing to measure the elapsed time from opening the second big winning opening 712, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the second count switch 24A, etc. A process of determining whether it is time to return the second large winning opening 712 from the open state to the closed state or a process for ending the small hit game state is included. Then, when returning the second big winning opening 712 to the closed state, the processing of stopping the output of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 83 for the second big winning opening door 711 is executed. Further, when the small hit gaming state is ended, the output of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 83 for the second large winning opening door 711 is stopped, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "9".

  The small hitting end processing of S41 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "9". The small hitting end processing corresponds to a period in which ending effect as a rendering operation for notifying the end of the small hitting gaming state is executed by a rendering device such as the rendering display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the gaming effect LED 9, etc. The process includes waiting for waiting time to elapse. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S32 of FIG. 23 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is “0” (S 241). The second special figure reservation storage number is the number of pending storages of the special drawing game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B. For example, in the process of S241, the second hold storage count value stored in the game control counter setting unit may be read, and it may be determined whether the read value is “0”.

  When the number of second special view reservations is other than “0” in S241 (S241; N), the second special view suspension storage unit stores as the suspension data stored corresponding to the suspension number “1”. Numerical data representing a random number value MR1 for special view display result determination, a random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and a random number value MR3 for special symbol variation pattern determination is read out (S242). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of S 242, the second special view pending storage count and the total pending storage count are decremented by 1, for example, by subtracting the second special view pending storage count count value or the total pending storage count count value and updating it. As well as updating, the data of the second special view reservation storage unit is updated. Specifically, random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in entries lower than the pending number "1" (for example, entries corresponding to pending numbers "2" to "4") in the second special view pending storage unit are shown. The pending data is shifted upward by one entry (S243).

  Thereafter, the variation special drawing designation buffer value which is the storage value of the variation special drawing designation buffer is updated to "2" (S244), and then the process proceeds to S249.

  On the other hand, when the number of second special view reservations is "0" at S241 (S241; Y), it is determined whether the number of first special views storage is "0" (S245). The first special view reservation storage number is the number of suspension storages of the special view game using the first special view by the first special symbol display 4A. For example, in the process of S245, the game control counter setting unit may read the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage count counter and determine whether the read value is "0". . As described above, the process of S245 is executed when it is determined in S241 that the number of second special view reservations is “0”, and the number of first special views suspension storage is “0”. Determine if As a result, the special view game using the second special view starts being executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view.

  In addition, the special drawing game using the second special drawing is not limited to the one to be executed prior to the special drawing game using the first special drawing, for example, the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening The execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game ball enters (passes) and the start winning occurs. In this case, a table for storing data that can specify the order in which the start winning is generated is provided, and from the stored data, the execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started. It is good if you can decide

  When the number of first special figure holding memories is other than "0" at S245 (S245; N), the first special drawing holding storage unit stores the holding data corresponding to holding number "1". Numerical data representing a random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, a random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and a random value value MR3 for special symbol variation pattern determination is read out (S246). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of S246, the first special view pending storage count and the total pending storage count are decremented by 1, etc. As well as updating, the data of the first special view reservation storage unit is updated. Specifically, random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in entries under the hold number "1" (for example, entries corresponding to hold numbers "2" to "4") in the first special view hold storage unit are shown. The pending data is shifted upward by one entry (S247).

  Thereafter, the variation special drawing designation buffer value which is the storage value of the variation special drawing designation buffer is updated to “1” (S248), and then the process proceeds to S249.

  In S249, as a use table for determining whether the special figure display result which is the variation display result of the special symbol is to be "big hit", "small hit", or "off", it is shown in FIG. Select and set the special symbol display result judgment table. Subsequently, the numerical data representing the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination stored in the random number buffer for variation is assigned to each special view display result of "big hit", "small hit", or "off" In comparison with the value, it is determined whether the special figure display result is to be "big hit", "small hit", or "off" (S250).

  After the special view display result is determined in S250, it is determined whether the special view display result is a "big hit" (S251). When it is determined that the "big hit" (S251; Y), the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is set to the on state (S252). At this time, the jackpot type determination table is selected and set as a use table for determining the jackpot type as any of a plurality of types (S253). At this time, when the value of the variation special figure designation buffer is “1”, the CPU 103 selects and sets the big hit type determination table for the first special symbol shown in FIG. 8B, and specifies the variation special figure When the value of the buffer is “2”, the jackpot classification determination table for the second special symbol shown in FIG. 8C may be selected and set. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination stored in the variable random number buffer by referring to the big hit type determination table thus set is "big hit A", "big hit B" in the big hit type determination table. In accordance with which of the determination values assigned to each of the "big hit C" big hit types, it is determined which of the multiple types the big hit type is to be (S254).

  By determining the jackpot type in the processing of S254, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, either high base state where high base control is performed, and normal state where high base control is not performed It is determined before the finalized special symbol as the variable display result is derived. Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in this way, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (S255), the determined jackpot type is stored Then, proceed to S261. As an example, if the big hit type is “big hit A”, the big hit type buffer value is set to “0”, if “big hit B”, “1”, and if “big hit C”, “2” may be set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the "big hit" is not made at S251 (S251; N), the CPU 103 determines whether the special map display result is "small hit" (S256). If it is determined that it is not "small hit", that is, if it is determined that it is "off" (S256; N), it proceeds to S261 and if it is determined that it is "small hit" (S256; Y) The small hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is set to the on state (S257). At this time, as a use table for determining the small hit type as any one of a plurality of types, a small hit type determination table corresponding to the variation special figure designation buffer is selected. That is, when the value of the variation special figure designation buffer is “1”, the small hitting type judgment table (for the first special symbol) shown in FIG. 8D is selected and set, and the variation special figure designation buffer If the value is “2”, the small hitting type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. 8 (E) is selected and set (S258). By referring to the small hit type determination table set in this way, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for hit type determination stored in the random number buffer for variation is “small hit A”, “small hit A” in the small hit type determination table. Depending on which of the determination values assigned to each small hit type of the small hit B ", the small hit type is determined to be one of a plurality of types (S259).

  Corresponding to the small hit type determined in this way, for example, by setting the small hit type buffer value which is the storage value of the small hit type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (S260), the small determined The hit type is stored and the process proceeds to S261. As an example, the small hit type buffer value may be set to “0” if the small hit type is “small hit A”, and may be set to “1” if “small hit B”.

  In S261, as a result of prior determination of whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state (whether the big hit flag is set), as a result of the determination of the big hit type in the case of the big hit gaming state, further, to the small hit gaming state In accordance with the result of the predetermination as to whether or not to control (whether or not the small hit flag is set), the finalized special symbol is set. As an example, a special symbol indicating a symbol of "-" which becomes an out symbol is set as a finalized special symbol corresponding to a preliminary determination result indicating that the special image display result is "off". In addition, when it is determined in S251 that the special view display result is "big hit", the big hit symbol is "3", "5", or "7" depending on the big hit type determination result in S255. Set one of the special symbols that show numbers to the finalized special symbol. That is, the special symbol indicating the number of "3" is set as the determined special symbol according to the determination result that the big hit type is "big hit A". Moreover, according to the determination result which makes a big hit classification "big hit B", the special symbol which shows the number of "5" is set as a confirmation special symbol. A special symbol indicating the number “7” is set as the finalized special symbol according to the determination result that the big hit type is “big hit C”. In addition, in response to the pre-decision result indicating that the special figure display result is "small hit", a special symbol indicating the symbol "2" to be a small hit symbol is set as the determined special symbol.

  After setting the finalized special symbol in S261, the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting processing (S262), and the special symbol normal processing is ended.

  If the number of reserved memories of the special view game using the first special view at S245 is "0" (S245; Y), whether or not a predetermined demonstration display is being executed on the effect display device 5 It is determined (S265). When a predetermined demonstration display is being executed, the special symbol normal processing is ended, and when a predetermined demonstration display is not executed, it is further determined whether the number of gate passage storages is 0 or not, that is, the common view reservation storage Is judged whether it is 0 (S267). If the gate passing memory number is 0, the process proceeds to S268, and if the gate passing memory number is 1 or more, the special symbol normal processing is ended. In S268, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the normal symbol process flag is a value corresponding to the normal symbol normal processing. If the value of the normal symbol process flag is a value according to the normal symbol normal processing, after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (for example, transmission setting of customer waiting demo specification command), the special symbol normal processing is ended (S269) If the value of the normal symbol process flag is a value corresponding to processing other than normal symbol normal processing, the special symbol normal processing is ended without executing S269.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number do not exist, and the variation display of the special symbol is not executed, and further, the common view reserve storage number does not exist When the variable display of the normal symbol is not executed, the demonstration display is performed on the effect display device 5.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S33 of FIG. 23 as the special symbol variation pattern setting process. In the special symbol variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 first refers to the value of the variation special view designation buffer and determines whether or not the variation indication of the special symbol to be executed is the variation indication of the first special symbol (S271) . If the variation display of the special symbol to be executed is the variation display of the first special symbol, the process proceeds to S272, and if the variation display of the special symbol to be executed is the variation display of the second special symbol, the process proceeds to S288.

  In S272, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set, that is, whether or not the variable display result of the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit. If the big hit flag is set, the process proceeds to S273, and if the big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S276.

  In S273, the CPU 103 determines whether the high base flag is set based on the big hit flag being set. If the high base flag is not set, the low base jackpot variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 26D is selected, and the process proceeds to S 283 (S 274). If the high base flag is set, FIG. The high base jackpot variation pattern determination table shown in (B) is selected, and the process proceeds to S283 (S275).

  In S276, the CPU 103 determines whether the high base flag is set based on the fact that the big hit flag is not set. If the high base flag is set, the high base deviation fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27A is selected, and the process proceeds to S 283 (S 277). If the high base flag is not set, the process proceeds to S 278 .

  In S278, the CPU 103 determines whether the total number of pending storages is three or more. If the total number of pending storages is 2 or less, the low-base outlier fluctuation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 26A is selected and the process proceeds to S 283 (S 279). If the total number of pending storages is 3 or more Furthermore, it is determined whether the total number of pending storages is 4 (S280). If the total number of pending storages is 3, the low-base out-of-variation variation pattern determination table B shown in FIG. 26B is selected, and the process proceeds to S283 (S281). The low-base out-of-variation fluctuation pattern determination table C shown in FIG.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 26A, in the low base state (normal state) where high base control is not performed, the low base selected when the total number of reserved storages of special symbols is 2 or less is off. In the variation pattern determination table A, the determination value of the range of “1” to “699” out of the range “1” to “997” that can be taken of the random number MR3 is shortened as the special figure variation time is 12000 ms. Non-reach out of no special pattern variation pattern (TPA1-1) is assigned, the judgment value of the range from "700" to "849" is a special pattern variation pattern in which the special figure variation time is 20000 ms. Special figure of super reach α which is assigned to (TPA2-1) and the judgment value in the range of “850” to “949” is 43000 ms in special figure fluctuation time It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (TPA2-2), and the judgment value in the range of "950" to "997" is the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPA2-3) with a super reach β deviation with a special figure fluctuation time of 53000 ms. It is assigned.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 26 (B), the low base shift variation selected when the total number of reserved memories for special symbols is 3 in the low base state (normal state) where high base control is not performed. In the pattern judgment table B, the judgment values in the range of “1” to “699” out of “1” to “997” which is a possible range of the random number MR3 are reduced non-reach in which the special figure fluctuation time is 5750 ms. A special symbol variation pattern of normal reach which is assigned to a special symbol variation pattern (TPA1-2) of a gap, and a judgment value in the range of "700" to "849" is 20000 ms, and a special symbol variation pattern of a gap (TPA2-1). Special design fluctuation pattern of super reach α which is assigned to) and the judgment value in the range of “850” to “949” is 43000 ms in special figure fluctuation time TPA 2-2) is assigned, and the judgment value in the range of "950" to "997" is assigned to the special reach pattern variation pattern (TPA2-3) with a special figure variation time of 53000 ms. There is.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 26C, the low base deviation variation selected when the total number of reserved memories for special symbols is 4 in the low base state (normal state) where high base control is not performed. In the pattern judgment table C, the judgment values in the range of “1” to “699” out of “1” to “997” which can be taken by the random number MR3 are reduced non-reach in which the special figure fluctuation time is 3750 ms. The special symbol fluctuation pattern of the normal reach which is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPA1-3) of out of alignment, and the judgment value of the range from "700" to "849" is 20000 ms, is a special symbol fluctuation out of reach (TPA2-1 Special design fluctuation pattern of super reach α which is assigned to) and the judgment value in the range of “850” to “949” is 43000 ms in special figure fluctuation time TPA 2-2) is assigned, and the judgment value in the range of "950" to "997" is assigned to the special reach pattern variation pattern (TPA2-3) with a special figure variation time of 53000 ms. There is.

  That is, when the number of 1st special view reservation memory increases when performing the fluctuation display of the first special symbol in the low base state, the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach out-of-range deviation is determined by the short fluctuation time. (1) A special figure reserve memory is easy to be digested, and the first special figure reserve memory is not made by making a start prize when the number of the first special figure reserve memory reaches 4 which is the upper limit number. Becomes less likely to occur, and when the number of 1st Tokushu reserve memory decreases, the fluctuation pattern (TPA1-1) of non-reach out-of-range deviation without reduction is long by the special condition. By lengthening the time of the variable display of the symbol, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the non-execution of the variable display of the special symbol.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 26D, in the low base jackpot variation pattern determination table selected in the low base state (normal state) where high base control is not performed, the possible range of the random value MR3 Judgment value of the range of “1” to “199” among “1” to “997” is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPB2-1) of the normal reach jackpot in which the special figure fluctuation time is 20000 ms. The judgment value in the range of "200" to "499" is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPB2-2) of the super reach α jackpot having a special figure fluctuation time of 43000 ms, and "500" to "997" The judgment value of the range is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPB 2-3) of the super reach β big hit where the special drawing fluctuation time is 53000 ms.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 26A to FIG. 26D, it may be selected when performing variable display of the first special symbol in the low base state (normal state) in which the high base control is not performed. By assigning the judgment value to each fluctuation pattern judgment table, the fluctuation display of the special symbol is executed with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β and the big hit expectation is the highest, then the fluctuation display of the special symbol is the super reach When it is executed with the variation pattern of α, when it is executed with the variation pattern of normal reach, the big hit expectation is lowered in the order of the case where it is executed with the non-reach variation pattern (in low base) The big hit expectation in the variation display of the first special symbol of: Super reach β> super reach α> normal reach> non reach).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27A, in the high base deviation fluctuation pattern determination table selected in the high base state, “1” to “997” which is a possible range of the random value MR3 are selected. Judgment values in the range of 1 "to" 499 "are assigned to the special symbol variation pattern (TPA 1-4) of non-reach out of which special figure variation time is 100,000 ms, and in the range of" 500 "to" 799 " The judgment value is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPA1-5) of non-reach out of alignment where the special figure fluctuation time is 150000 ms, and the judgment value in the range of "800" to "997" is the special figure fluctuation time It is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPA 2-2) of non-reach out which is 200000 ms.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27B, in the high base jackpot variation pattern determination table selected in the high base state, “1” to “997” which is a possible range of the random value MR3 are selected. Judgment values in the range of 1 "to" 199 "are assigned to the special symbol variation pattern (TPB1-1) of non-reach big hit where the special figure variation time is 100000 ms, and the range of" 200 "to" 499 " The judgment value is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPB1-2) where the special figure fluctuation time is 150000 ms and the judgment value in the range of "500" to "997" is the special figure fluctuation time. It is assigned to the special symbol fluctuation pattern (TPB1-3) of the non-reach big hit which is 200000 ms.

  Thus, as shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B, determination values are assigned to each variation pattern determination table that can be selected when performing variation display of the first special symbol in the high base state. Among the multiple special symbol variation patterns in which the special pattern variation time differs depending on whether the variation display result of the first special symbol is "big hit" or "displacement" by the variation pattern of the first special symbol being by It can be determined from Furthermore, the big hit expectation is high as the special figure fluctuation time is long, and the big hit expectation is low as the special figure fluctuation time is short (big hit per special figure fluctuation time in the fluctuation display of the first special symbol in high base) Expectation degree: 200000 ms> 150000 ms> 100000 ms).

In addition, as described later, when the variation time of the first special symbol in the high base state is long (when the special figure variation time is determined to be TPA1-6 or TPB1-3 with 200,000 ms),
Since the period controlled to the high base state is longer than in the case where the variation time of the first special symbol is short (for example, when the special figure variation time is determined to be TPA1-4 or TPB1-1 having 100000 ms), By performing the variation display of the normal symbol during the high base state, "per common drawing" is easily generated. That is, when a fluctuation pattern having a long fluctuation time is determined as the fluctuation pattern of the first special symbol in the high base state, a fluctuation pattern having a short fluctuation time is determined as the fluctuation pattern of the first special symbol in the high base state Since “per common drawing” is more likely to occur multiple times, and the second special view reserve memory number reaches the upper limit of 4 in many cases, in the high base state, the game time of the first special symbol changes It is possible to make people interested in it and improve their interest.

  Then, returning to FIG. 25, the CPU 103 determines the special symbol variation pattern based on the variation pattern determination table selected in any of S274, S275, S277, S279, S281, S282 and the value of the random number MR3 in S283. Go to S284.

  Further, when the variation display of the special symbol to be executed is the variation display of the second special symbol (S271; N), the CPU 103 determines whether the big hit flag is set (S288). If the big hit flag is set, the special symbol variation pattern is determined to the non-reach big hit variation pattern (TPC1-1) shown in FIG. 11B, and the process proceeds to S284, and if the big hit flag is not set Then, the special symbol variation pattern is determined to be the non-reach out of variation variation pattern (TPC2-1) shown in FIG. 11 (B), and the process proceeds to S284. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), TPC1-1 which is a special symbol variation pattern determined when the variation display result of the second special symbol is a big hit, and the variation display result of the second special symbol is small The special symbol variation pattern TPC2-1, which is determined in the case of a hit, both have a special pattern variation time of 4000 ms, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these TPC1-1 and TPC2- The special figure fluctuation time of 1 may be different. Moreover, although two TPC1-1 and TPC2-1 are illustrated as a special symbol variation pattern which can be selected when performing variation display of the 2nd special symbol in this example, the present invention is limited to this Instead of the above, three or more variation patterns may be provided as special symbol variation patterns that can be selected when the second special symbol variation display is performed.

  In S284, the CPU 103 uses the first special figure game in the first special symbol display 4A and the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B according to the variable special figure designation buffer value. In order to start any of the special figure games, the setting for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed. As an example, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is performed.

  Following the processing of S284, setting is performed to transmit various commands used for the start of variation of the special symbol (S285). For example, when the variation special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 transmits a game state designation command, a first variation start command, a special symbol variation pattern designation command, and a special symbol variation command designation from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 In order to transmit the symbol variation display result notification command and the first suspension storage number notification command sequentially, game control is performed on setting data indicating the storage address (head address) in the ROM 101 of the first variation start command table prepared in advance. The transmission command buffer provided in the buffer setting unit is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 instructs the game control state command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12, the second fluctuation start command, the special symbol fluctuation pattern designation command, the special In order to transmit the symbol variation display result notification command and the second suspension storage number notification command sequentially, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second variation start command table prepared in advance is transmitted in the transmission command buffer Store in the buffer area specified by the pointer. The command set for transmission in S285 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  After executing the processing of S285, a value corresponding to the special figure fluctuation time which is the fluctuation display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the special symbol fluctuation pattern is set in the special symbol fluctuation time timer (S286). The special figure fluctuation time that is the special symbol fluctuation display time is the time required from the start of the special symbol fluctuation in the special drawing game until the finalized special symbol that is the fluctuation display result (special figure display result) is derived and displayed It is. Thereafter, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation processing (S287), and the special symbol variation pattern setting processing is ended.

  In this example, when the variation display result of the first special symbol is "big hit", the variation pattern is determined from the three variation patterns of TPB1-1 to TPB1-3 at a constant rate regardless of the big hit type Although the form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variation display result of the first special symbol is "big hit", the determination ratio of each variation pattern may be different according to the big hit type Good.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the variation display result of the second special symbol is "big hit", the form of uniquely determining one variation pattern (TPC1-1) is illustrated, but the present invention If the variation display result of the second special symbol is "big hit" without being limited, the variation pattern may be determined from a plurality of variation patterns.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the variation display result of the second special symbol is "small hit", the form of uniquely determining to one variation pattern (TPC2-1) was illustrated, but the present invention If the variation display result of the second special symbol is "small hit", the variation pattern may be determined from a plurality of variation patterns. Furthermore, in the case where a plurality of variation patterns are provided as variation patterns when the variation display result of the second special symbol is "small hit", the determination ratio of each variation pattern may be varied according to the small hit type. Good.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S35 shown in FIG. 23 as the special symbol stop process. In this special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 sets the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation process of S34 to end the variation of the special symbol, and causes the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B. Control is performed to derive and display the stop symbol (S291). In addition, when the fluctuation special drawing specification buffer value is “1” indicating the first special drawing, the fluctuation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A is ended, and the fluctuation special drawing specification buffer value is In the case of "2" indicating the second special figure, the variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 4B is ended. Further, control is performed to transmit a symbol determination command to the effect control board 12 (S292). The command set for transmission in S292 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process. Then, it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop period timer has timed out (S293). In addition, the special symbol stop period timer is a timer that indicates the standby time until the next variable display of the special symbol is started, and is set when it is determined that the special symbol fluctuation time has elapsed in the special symbol fluctuation processing. Be done. If the special symbol stop period timer has timed out, the process proceeds to S 295. If the special symbol stop period timer has not timed out, the value of the special symbol stop period timer is decremented by 1 and the special symbol stop process is ended. (S294).

  In S295, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set. If the big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S301. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is set, it progresses to S296.

  In S296, when the high base flag is set, the CPU 103 clears the high base flag and the high base number counter. Then, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a hit start designation command according to the jackpot type (S 297 a), and for transmitting a gaming state designation command indicating a normal state (low base state) to the effect control board 12. The setting is performed (S297b). The command transmitted and set in S297a and S297b is transmitted from the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  Then, a value corresponding to the big hit display time (for example, a time for notifying that the big hit has occurred in the effect display device 5) is set in the big hit display time timer (S298). Further, the number of opening (for example, seven times in the case of big hit A and big hit B, 15 times in case of big hit C) is set in the big winning opening open frequency counter (S299). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (S36) (S300), and the special symbol stop process is ended.

  On the other hand, in S301, the CPU 103 determines whether the small hit flag is set. If the small hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S305. On the other hand, when the small hit flag is set, when the high base flag is set, the high base flag and the high base number counter are cleared (S302). Then, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a hit start designation command according to the small hit type (S303a). Next, the small hit display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the small hit display time (for example, a time for notifying that the small hit has occurred in the effect display device 5) (S303b). The command set for transmission in S303a and S303b is transmitted on the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "7" which is a value corresponding to the small hit opening pre-processing (S26) (S304), and the special symbol stop process is ended.

  On the other hand, in step S305, the CPU 103 determines whether the value of the high base number counter is “1”. If the value of the high base frequency counter is “1”, the high base frequency counter and the high base flag are cleared to end high base control (S306), and the low base state (normal state) is set. The setting for transmitting the corresponding gaming state designation command is performed, and the process proceeds to S308 (S307). The command set for transmission in S307 is transmitted from the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process. If the value of the high base frequency counter is not "1", the process proceeds to S308 without executing S306 and S307. In S196, after updating the value of the special drawing process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, the special symbol stop processing is ended.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S38 of FIG. 23 as the big hit end process. In the big hit end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the big hit end display timer is operating, that is, the timer is counting (S311). If the big hit end display timer is not in operation, set a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time when the big hit end display is performed on the effect display device 5 (big hit end display time) in the big hit end display timer (S312) , End the big hit end processing.

  On the other hand, when the big hit end display timer is in operation, the value of the big hit end display timer is decremented by 1 (S313). Then, the CPU 103 checks whether or not the big hit end display timer has timed up, that is, whether or not the big hit end display time has elapsed (S314). If the big hit end display timer is not up, the big hit end process is ended. If the big hit end display timer is up, the CPU 103 clears the big hit flag (S 315), and transmits a big hit end designation command corresponding to the big hit type of the big hit game to the effect control board 12. And go to S317 (S316). The command set to be transmitted in S316 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  In S317, the CPU 103 determines whether the big hit type of the big hit game is the big hit B or not. If the jackpot type of the jackpot game is other than the jackpot B, set the high base flag and set the high base number counter to “1” indicating that the variable display of one special symbol is controlled to the high base state (S318, S319). If the big hit type of the big hit game is the big hit B, the process proceeds to S320.

  After the execution of S319, the CPU 103 determines whether the number of the first special view reserve memory is 0 or not, that is, the number of the first special view reserve memory is 0 at the time when the big hit game is over and controlled to the high base state. It is determined whether there is any (S319a). If the number of first special view reservations is 1 or more, the process proceeds to S320, and if the first special views reservation is 0, the first special is finished when the big hit game is over and controlled to the high base state. The value of the first special drawing pending storage number “0” number counter indicating the number of times the figure pending storage number is 0 is incremented by 1 (S319b). Then, the value of the first special view reserve memory number “0” frequency counter after incrementing the value by 1 is “3”, that is, the first special view reserve memory at the time when the big hit game is over and controlled to the high base state It is determined whether the number of times the number is 0 has reached three (S319c). When the value of the first special view reservation memory number “0” frequency counter is “3”, the CPU 103 determines that the period of the chance time (see FIG. 42) described later after the big hit game is over extended unduly Sends an error notification command to the effect control board 12 indicating that the number of times the first special view reservation memory count is 0 has reached 3 times at the time when the big hit game is over and controlled to the high base state (S319d). Then, it waits without executing the subsequent processing. If the value of the first special view reservation storage number “0” frequency counter is “2” or less, the process proceeds to S320.

  In S320, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of a game state designation command for notifying the game control state 12 on the basis of whether or not the high base flag is set (S320), and the value of the special view process flag is set. It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to special symbol normal processing, and the big hit end processing is ended (S321). The command set for transmission in S320 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is controlled to the high base state after the end of the big hit game, the form to be controlled to the high base state only by one time of the variable display of the special symbol regardless of the jackpot type However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a jackpot type may be provided in which the number of times of variation display of the special symbol controlled to the high base state is two or more.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S39 of FIG. 23 as the small hit start pre-processing. In the small hit start pre-processing, the CPU 103 first decrements the small hit display time timer by 1 (S401), and determines whether the small hit display time timer has timed out (S402). When the small hit display time timer has not timed out, the small hit open pre-processing is ended, and when the small hit display time timer has timed out, the small hit open control for opening control of the second big winning opening 712 The process table of the pattern is set (S403). Also, a small hit open process timer is set to repeatedly open and close the second large winning opening 712 during the small hit game (S404). Then, the winning ball number counter for counting the gaming balls to win in the second large winning opening 712 is set to "0" (S405), and the value of the special symbol process flag corresponds to the small hitting open processing (S40) The small hit open pre-processing is terminated by updating the value to "8" (S406).

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S40 of FIG. 23 as the small hit open process. In the small hit open process, the CPU 103 first determines the value of the small hit open process timer. 1 is performed (S411). Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the small hit end timing, that is, whether or not the small hit open process timer has timed out (S412).

  When it is the small hitting end timing, it advances to S426. If it is not the small hit end timing, it is determined whether or not it is the open timing of the second large winning opening 712 with reference to the process table of the small hit open control pattern and the value of the small hit open process timer (S413). When it is the opening timing of the second large winning opening 712, the CPU 103 controls the second large winning opening 712 to an open state by driving the solenoid 83 and proceeds to S415 (S414). If it is not the opening timing of the second big winning opening 712, the process proceeds to S415 without executing S414.

  In step S415, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is the closing timing of the second large winning opening 712 with reference to the process table of the small hit open control pattern and the value of the small hit open process timer. If it is the closing timing of the second large winning opening 712, the CPU 103 controls the second large winning opening 712 to be in a closed state by driving the solenoid 83 and proceeds to S417 (S416). If it is not the closing timing of the second big winning opening 712, the process proceeds to S417 without executing S416.

  In S417, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second count switch 24A has been turned on, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has won the second large winning opening 712. If the second count switch 24A is not turned on, the process proceeds to S420. If the second count switch 24A is turned on, the value of the winning ball number counter is incremented by 1 (S418). It is determined whether the upper limit (10 in the present embodiment), which is the number of winnings to the second large winning opening 712 during a small hit, is reached (S419). When the value of the winning ball counter reaches the upper limit (10), the process proceeds to S426, and when the value of the winning ball counter does not reach the upper limit (10), the process proceeds to S420.

  In the V winning solenoid drive processing of S420, as described above, the CPU 103 drives the solenoid 85 to cause the regulating member 721 to protrude into the main path 740 three seconds after the start of the small hit game, and a predetermined time has elapsed. After that (for example, after 5 seconds after the restricting member 721 protrudes into the main path 740), the main path 740 is retracted (controlled to the allowable state). In addition, by driving the solenoid 86, the holding member 730 is moved to the first position (solid line portion shown in FIG. 12) three seconds after the start of the small hit game, and after a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, the holding member 730 After 5 seconds of movement to the first position, it is moved to the second position (the one-dot chain line portion shown in FIG. 12).

  Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the third count switch 24B is turned on, that is, based on the fact that any of the gaming balls that have won the second large winning opening 712 has passed with the third count switch 24B. It is judged whether it generate | occur | produced (S421). If the third count switch 24B is not turned on, the small hit open processing is ended, and if the third count switch 24B is turned on, a V prize flag indicating that V prize has already occurred is set. It is determined whether it is set (S422). If the V prize flag is set, the small hit open processing is ended, and if the V prize flag is not set, the big hit type corresponding to the small hit type is specified (S424). For example, if the small hit type of the small hit game is "small hit A", the big hit type is specified as "big hit D", and if the small hit type of the small hit game is "small hit B", the big hit The type may be specified as "big hit E".

  Then, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting the V winning notification command according to the jackpot type specified in S424 to the effect control board 12, and ends the small hit open processing (S425). The command set for transmission in S425 is transmitted by the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  On the other hand, in S <b> 426, the CPU 103 controls the second large winning opening 712 to be in a closed state by driving the solenoid 83. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "9" which is a value corresponding to the small hitting end process (S41) (S230), and the small hit open processing is ended (S427).

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S41 of FIG. 23 as the small hit end process. In the small hit end process, the CPU 103 determines whether the small hit end display timer is in operation. Is determined (S431). If the small hit end display timer is not in operation, the small hit end display timer is set to a value according to the small hit end display time (small hit end effect execution time) (S432), and the small hit end processing is ended. .

  On the other hand, if the small hit end display timer is in operation, the value of the small hit end display timer is decremented by 1 (S433). Then, it is determined whether the small hit end display timer has timed out (S434). If the small hit end display timer has not timed out, the process proceeds to S435, and if the small hit end display timer has timed out, the process proceeds to S440.

  In S435, the CPU 103 determines whether the third count switch 24B is turned on. If the third count switch 24B is not turned on, the small hitting end processing is ended, and if the third count switch 24B is turned on, it is determined whether or not the V prize flag is already set. (S436). If the V prize flag is set, the small hitting end processing is ended, and if the V prize flag is not set, the V prize flag is set (S437).

  Then, the CPU 103 identifies the big hit type corresponding to the small hit type (S438). For example, if the small hit type of the small hit game is "small hit A", the big hit type is specified as "big hit D", and if the small hit type of the small hit game is "small hit B", the big hit The type may be specified as "big hit E". Then, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting the V winning notification command according to the jackpot type specified in S438 to the effect control board 12, and ends the small hit end processing (S439). The command set for transmission in S439 is transmitted on the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  In S440, the CPU 103 clears the small hit flag. Then, setting for transmitting the hit end designation command corresponding to the small hit to the effect control board 12 is executed (S 441). The command set for transmission in S441 is transmitted from the effect control board 12 in the effect control command control process.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether the V winning flag is set (S 442). If the V prize flag is set, the V prize flag is cleared and the big hit flag is set (S443, S444). Then, a big hit type buffer corresponding to the small hit type of the small hit is set (S445). For example, if the small hit type is "small hit A", the big hit type buffer value is set to "3" indicating "big hit D", and if the small hit type is "small hit B", the big hit type buffer value Is set to "4" indicating "big hit E".

  Next, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (S36) (S446), and ends the small hit end process.

  That is, in this embodiment, the game ball passes the third count switch 24B not only during small hit games but also during the period until the small hit end display time after the small hit game is over. Even if the game ball wins the second large winning opening 712 just before the end of the small hit game, the game ball passes the third count switch 24B and the big hit game is executed after the end of the small hit end processing It is supposed to be

  If the V prize flag is not set in S442, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (S32) (S449), and the small hit End processing ends.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the CPU 103 executes the information output process to execute FIG. 33A to FIG. 33D, FIG. 34A to FIG. 34D, and FIG. As shown in D), the pachinko gaming machine 1 (information output circuit 112) of this embodiment continuously outputs one jackpot signal from the jackpot start timing to the jackpot end timing. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 (information output circuit 112) of the present embodiment is the first hit (here, the variation display result of the first special symbol when the gaming state is the normal state indicates a big hit) If the jackpot type of is the jackpot B, the jackpot 2 signal is continuously output from the start timing of the jackpot game to the end timing of the jackpot game, and the jackpot type of the first hit is other than the jackpot B (big hit A) The big hit during the big hit game from the start timing of the big hit game, during the high base state, during the variable display of the first special symbol after the high base state ends, during the small hit game based on the variable display of the second special symbol, the small During the hit game, during the big hit game based on the occurrence of the V winning, such as during the big hit, and continuously output a big hit 2 signal over multiple states. Then, if a new second special view reserve storage does not occur during the first variable symbol display of the first special symbol after the big hit game is over with the second special view reserve storage being 0 (the second start If there is no winning on the winning opening), stop the output of the jackpot 2 signal. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine (information output circuit 112) of this embodiment, the open timing of the ordinary electric role (when the plate 60 is the front side of the game board 2) when the hit is generated during the high base state. The timing at which the ordinary electric symbol is closed (the timing at which the plate 60 projects to the front side of the game board 2) and the timing at which the ordinary electric power symbol is closed are continuously output as signals per common drawing.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 (information output circuit 112) of the present embodiment outputs a symbol determination signal at the fluctuation stop timing of the special symbol in the low base state and the fluctuation stop timing of the normal symbol in the high base. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 36, in the low base state, the information output circuit 112 outputs the symbol determination signal at the fluctuation stop timing of the special symbol, while the symbol determination signal at the stop timing of the normal symbol Do not output. Further, as shown in FIG. 37, in the high base state, the information output circuit 112 does not output the symbol determination signal at the variation stop timing of the special symbol, but outputs the symbol determination signal at the stop timing of the normal symbol.

  In addition, an all-prize ball signal is output at the timing when the value of the tens digit of the all-prize ball number counter (counter for counting the all-prize ball number paid out in the prize ball processing) changes The all winning signal is output at the timing when the value of the tens place of the counter for counting the number of all prize balls to be paid out in the ball processing changes.

  Furthermore, the pachinko gaming machine 1 (information output circuit 112) of the present embodiment outputs the winning 1 signal at the timing when the third count switch 24B is turned on during the small hit game, and the normal state (low base state) During the start opening switch C22C is turned on three times also outputs a prize 1 signal, the right-handed path award ball number counter (general winning opening formed in the right game area 10R in the prize ball processing, 1st The prize 2 signal is output at the timing when the value of the tens place of the number of prize balls paid out according to the prize winning on the starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening changes, and to any starting winning opening The winning 3 signal is output at the timing when the winning occurs, and the winning 4 signal is output at the timing when the winning occurs to the second start winning opening.

  And, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (information output circuit 112) of this embodiment, the glass door frame 70 is released from the timing when the glass door frame 70 is opened (the timing when the door sensor 54 detects the opening of the glass door frame 70). The door open signal is output over the closed timing (the timing when the closing of the glass door frame 70 is detected by the door sensor 54), and the timing when the radio wave error, the magnetic error or the vibration error occurs (the radio wave by the radio wave sensor 51) A security signal is output at the timing when the error is detected, the pairing when the magnetic error is detected by the magnetic sensor 52, and the timing when the vibration error is detected by the vibration sensor 53).

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing effect control main processing executed by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12. When the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts execution of the main processing. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed to clear the RAM area, set various initial values, and initialize the timer for determining a start interval (for example, 2 ms) of effect control (S701). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 executes effect random number update processing for updating the count value of a counter for generating effect random numbers such as a jackpot symbol determination random number (S702), and monitors the timer interrupt flag (S703). Move to loop processing to do). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. In the main processing, when the timer interrupt flag is set (on), the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S704), and executes the following processing.

  The effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command, and performs processing such as setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis processing: S705). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received in an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM 122. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 5) is the effect control command stored in the buffer area.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs special symbol effect control process processing (S706). In the special symbol effect control process, among the processes corresponding to the control state, the process corresponding to the current control state (special effect control process flag) is selected, and the display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 performs normal symbol effect control process processing (S 707). In the normal symbol effect control process process, the process corresponding to the current control state (normal effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and the display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, according to the gaming state, the special symbol non-variation effect execution processing (S708) which can execute the customer waiting demonstration effect or the first special symbol fluctuation start waiting effect described later when the variable display of the special symbol is not executed. Then, a background image display process (S 709) for switching the background image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed. Then, error notification processing (S710) for notifying an error generated during the game, and a fourth symbol 5U for special symbols corresponding to the variation display of the special symbol, and a fourth symbol 5D for the regular symbol corresponding to the variation display of the normal symbol The fourth symbol variation process (S711) for executing the variation display (see FIG. 1) is executed, and the process proceeds to S702. In the error notification process according to the present embodiment, the CPU 120 for effect control controls the number of first special view pending storages at the time when the big hit game is over and the high base state is controlled based on the reception of the error notification command. Although it reports that the number of times of 0 has reached 3 times, the present invention is not limited to this, and other errors (radio wave error, magnetic error, vibration error) and the glass door frame 70 are opened. You may alert that.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 43, the fourth symbol for special symbol 5U and the fourth symbol for normal symbol 5D are symbols displayed at the right end of the effect display device 5. Among them, the special symbol fourth symbol 5U repeats blinking display from the start timing of the variation display of the special symbol to the end timing of the variation display, and the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbol changes from the start timing of the variation display of the normal symbol Repeat the blinking display until the end timing of. The fourth special symbol special symbol 5U in the present embodiment repeats the blinking display in the same manner in the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state (low base state) and the high base state. Further, the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbol in the present embodiment blinks in a common manner in the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (low base state) and in the high base state. repeat.

  Furthermore, the special symbol fourth symbol 5U and the normal symbol fourth symbol 5D in this embodiment are the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state (low base state) and the high base state. Repeat the blinking display in a common manner.

  In addition, the special symbol fourth symbol 5U in this embodiment blinks in a common manner in the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (low base state) and in the case where the gaming state is high base. Although the form to repeat is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special symbol fourth symbol 5U is a case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state (low base state) and high The blinking display may be repeated in a manner different from that in the base state.

  Further, the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbol in the present embodiment blinks in a common manner in the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (low base state) and in the high base state. The repeating form is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbol is a case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state (low base state) and high The blinking display may be repeated in a manner different from that in the base state.

  In addition, the special symbol fourth symbol 5U and the normal symbol fourth symbol 5D in this embodiment are the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state (low base state) and the high base state. In the present embodiment, the blinking display is repeated in a common manner, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the fourth symbol 5U for special symbol and the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbol are pachinko games At least one of the flashing modes may be different when the gaming state of the machine 1 is the normal state (low base state) and / or the high base state.

  Moreover, although the fourth symbol 5U for special symbols in the present embodiment exemplifies a form in which blinking display is repeated during the variation display of the special symbols, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fourth symbol for special symbols The four symbol 5U may be displayed in a mode different from blinking as long as the player can recognize that the special symbol is being changed and displayed.

  Moreover, although the fourth symbol 5D for normal symbols in this embodiment exemplifies a form in which the blinking display is repeated during the variation display of the normal symbols, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fourth symbol for ordinary symbols The four symbols 5D may be displayed in a mode different from blinking as long as the player can recognize that the variation display of the normal symbols is being performed.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing special symbol effect control process processing (S706) in the effect control main processing. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first updates the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 5H of the effect display device 5 to a display according to the storage content of the presentation control buffer setting unit The stored display update process is executed (S712).

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 performs one of the processes in S713 to S722 according to the value of the first effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is performed.

  Special symbol variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S713): It is checked whether a special symbol variation pattern designation command has been received from the game control microcomputer 100 or not. Specifically, it is checked whether or not the special symbol variation pattern designation command is received in the command analysis process. If the special symbol variation pattern specification command has been received, the value of the first effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the first effect symbol variation start process (S714).

  First effect symbol variation start process (S714): Control is performed so that the variation of the first effect symbol (the effect symbol of alphanumeric characters) is started in conjunction with the variation display of the special symbol. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first effect symbol variation process (S715).

  1st production symbol fluctuation processing (S715): While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (the fluctuation speed) which constitutes the special symbol fluctuation pattern, it monitors the end of fluctuation time. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S716).

  1st production pattern fluctuation stop processing (S716): The fluctuation of the 1st production design is stopped on the basis of having received the production control command (special symbol decision command) which directs all the symbols stop, display result (stop design) Control to derive and display. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S717), the small hit display process (S720) or the special symbol variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S713).

  Big hit display processing (S717): After the end of the variation time of the special symbol, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the big hit. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the process during the big hit game (S718).

  During the big hit game processing (S 718): Control during the big hit game. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end effect process (S719).

  Big hit end effect processing (S719): In the effect display 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S713).

  Small hit display process (S720): After the end of the variation time of the special symbol, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of a small hit on the effect display device 5. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hit game processing (S721).

  Small hit in game processing (S721): Control of small hit in game. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control or the like in the small hit game in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hitting end effect process (S722).

  Small hit end effect processing (S722): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the small hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S713) or the big hit display process (S717).

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing normal symbol effect control process processing (S707) in the effect control main processing. In the normal symbol effect control process process, the effect control CPU 120 performs the processes of S800 to S806 in accordance with the value of the second effect control process flag.

  Normal symbol variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S800): It is checked whether a normal symbol variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100 or not. Specifically, it is checked whether or not the normal symbol variation pattern designation command has been received in the command analysis process. If the normal symbol variation pattern specification command is received and the second effect symbol variation permission flag is set, the value of the second effect control process flag corresponds to the second effect symbol variation start process (S801) Change to

  Second effect symbol variation start processing (S801): Control is performed so that the variation of the second effect symbol (effect symbol of Chinese numerals) is started in conjunction with the variation display of the normal symbol. Then, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the second effect symbol variation process (S802).

  Second effect during symbol variation processing (S802): Normally controls the switching timing and the like of each variation state (variation velocity) constituting the symbol variation pattern, and monitors the end of the variation time. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the second effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S803).

  2nd production symbol fluctuation stop processing (S803): The fluctuation of 2nd production design is stopped on the basis of having received the production control command (normal design decision command) which directs all the symbols stop, display result (stop design) Control to derive and display. Then, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing for opening the ordinary motor combination (S804) or the processing for waiting for the normal symbol variation pattern designation command (S800).

  Normal electric combination opening process (S804): After the end of the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, occurrence of hitting (per common drawing) on the effect display device 5, that is, notification that opening control of the common electric combination is performed Control to display the screen for Then, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing during opening of the normal motorized combination (S805).

  Normal Motor Combination During Open Process (S805): Control is performed during normal motor combination open. For example, when the second start winning opening winning combination designation command is received, processing of updating the display of the effect suspension display unit 30 is performed. Then, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the normal electric-powered combination product release end process (S806).

  Ordinary motor combination opening end processing (S806): If the second start winning opening winning combination designated command is received during ordinary motor combination opening, effect hold acquisition effect indicating that the display of the effect hold display unit 30 has been updated Control to be executed. Then, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the normal symbol variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S800).

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing special symbol non-variation effect processing (S708) in the effect control main processing. In the special symbol non-fluctuation effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the value of the first effect control process flag is a value according to the special symbol fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S601) . When the value of the first effect control process flag is a value according to the special symbol variation pattern specification command reception waiting process, that is, not during the big hit game or small hit game, and the variation display of the special symbol is not performed If the process proceeds to S602, if the value of the first effect control process flag is a value according to the process other than the special symbol variation pattern specification command reception waiting process, that is, during the special symbol variation, during the big hit game, small hit game If it is one of them, the process proceeds to S613.

  In S602, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the gaming state is the high base state by referring to the gaming state indicated by the gaming state designation command received last time. If the gaming state is the high base state, the process proceeds to S608, and if the gaming state is the low base state, the process proceeds to S603. In S603, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not a customer waiting demonstration effect in progress flag indicating that the customer waiting demonstration effect is being executed is set. If the customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag is set, the process proceeds to S 607. If the customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag is not set, it is determined whether the customer waiting demonstration specification command reception flag is further set, that is, It is determined whether or not a customer waiting demo specification command has been received (S604). If the customer waiting demo specification command reception flag is not set, the special symbol non-changing time effect processing ends, and if the customer waiting demonstration specification command reception flag is set, the customer waiting demonstration specification command reception flag is cleared ( S605). Then, a customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag indicating that the customer waiting demonstration effect is being executed is set, and the process proceeds to S607.

  In S607, the effect control CPU 120 executes the customer waiting demonstration effect execution process to execute the customer waiting demonstration effect, and ends the special symbol non-variation time effect processing. In addition, as the customer waiting demonstration effect, an image such as introduction of effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a game explanation may be displayed on the effect display device 5.

In S608, the effect control CPU 120 sets a first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag indicating that the first special symbol variation start waiting effect is being executed. If the first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag is set, the process proceeds to S612, and if the first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag is not set, the process proceeds to S609. Then, at S 609, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the first special view reserve storage and the second special view reserve storage stored in the start winning reception command command buffer to thereby count the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number. It is determined that the number of special-graph reserved memories is specified, and it is determined whether the number of first-special-image reserved memories and the number of second-specially-stored memories are both 0 (S610). When at least one of the first special figure reservation number of memories and the second special figure reservation number of memories is 1 or more, the special symbol non- changing time effect processing process is ended, and the first special figure reservation number of memories and the second special image If the figure pending storage number is all 0, the first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag is set, and the process proceeds to S612 (S611).

In S612, the CPU 120 for effect control executes the first special symbol variation start waiting effect execution processing to notify that the variation display of the first special symbol has not yet started, and the special symbol non-variation effect processing is performed finish.

  In addition, in S613, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not the customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag is set. If the customer waiting demonstration effect execution flag is not set, the process proceeds to S616. If the customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag is set, the customer waiting demonstration effect being executed is ended (S614), the customer waiting demonstration effect executing flag is cleared, and the process proceeds to S616 (S615).

In S616, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag is set. If the flag during the first special symbol variation start waiting effect execution flag is set, it ends the special symbol non- change time effect processing process, and if the first special symbol variation start waiting effect flag is set, the first The special symbol variation start waiting effect is ended (S617). Then, the first special symbol variation start waiting effect executing flag is cleared, and the special symbol non- change effect processing is ended (S618).

  Next, the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 42, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A by striking the gaming ball on the left gaming area 10L in the low base state (normal state). The variable display of the first special symbol is executed by winning the game ball to. In the low base state, variation display of the first effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol is executed in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R of the effect display device 5. When the variation display result is "off" in the variation display of the first special symbol, the variation display of the first special symbol and the first effect symbol is repeatedly executed by further winning the gaming ball in the first start winning opening Be done.

  And, as the variation display result of the first special symbol, it becomes "big hit", and when the big hit type of the "big hit" is "big hit A", high base control is started after the big hit game is over and the chance time is storm in. On the other hand, if the "big hit" is displayed as the variable display result of the first special symbol and the big hit type of the "big hit" is "big hit B", the gaming state is controlled to the low base state after the big hit game is over. The variation display of the first special symbol is executed by winning the gaming ball in the first starting winning opening again.

  In addition, when it becomes “small hitting” as the fluctuation indication result of the 1st special symbol, opening of 2nd large winning a prize mouth 712 is repeatedly done as a small hitting game. When the game ball is detected by the third count switch 24B by launching the game ball in the right game area 10R while the second large winning opening 712 is opened, a big hit game (big hit D or big hit E according to the small hit type) Big hit game) is executed. Then, after the big hit game of the big hit D or the big hit E, the chance base time is entered by the high base control being started.

  With the chance time, the variation display of the first special symbol is a variation pattern in which the special figure variation time is longer than when the gaming state is in the low base state (long variation pattern: TPA 1-4 to TPA 1 shown in FIG. -6, TPB1-1 to TPB1-3) is a period executed once, and indicates a period from when the gaming state is controlled to the high base state to the end time of the variable display of the first special symbol.

  In the high base state, the game ball is hit in the right game area 10R. At this time, part of the game balls hit in the right game area 10R enters the sorting apparatus 300, and the normal winning ball apparatus 6A '(first start winning opening) side, the passing gate 41, and the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B (second start winning combination) side is distributed. In this case, the first special view reserve memory is generated by the game ball entering the normal winning prize ball device 6A '(winning in the first start winning hole), so the first special figure reserve memory is high in the state of 0 Even when controlled to the base state, the variable display of the first special symbol can be performed.

  Then, when the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41, the variable display of the normal symbol is executed. In the high base state, variation display of the second effect symbol corresponding to the normal symbol is executed in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R of the effect display device 5. When the variation display result is "off" in the variation display of the normal symbol, the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, and the variation display of the normal symbol and the second effect symbol is repeatedly executed.

  If the display changes as a result of the variation display of the normal symbol, the board 60 retracts from the front side of the game board (the ordinary motorized symbol is opened), and the second start winning opening is made. The game ball is ready to win. Then, when a part of the game balls distributed to the pass gate 41 and the normally variable winning ball device 6B by the distribution device 300 wins the second start winning opening, the second special view reservation storage occurs.

  After one variation display of the first special symbol in the high base state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the low base state. Then, if the second special view reserve memory number generated during the chance time is 0, the variable display of the first special symbol is executed by striking out the gaming ball on the left gaming area 10L again. In addition, when the number of 2nd special view reservation memory generated during the chance time is 1 or more, the variable display of the 2nd special symbol for the 2nd special view reserve memory number generated during the chance time is executed and the big hit Plunge into the rush zone to repeat the game.

  Specifically, when the variation display of the second special symbol is executed and the variation display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "big hit C", the big hit game of the big hit C is executed. Further, when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed and the variable display result is "small hit", the opening of the second big winning opening 712 is repeatedly performed as a small hit game. When the game ball is detected by the third count switch 24B by launching the game ball in the right game area 10R while the second large winning opening 712 is opened, a big hit game (big hit D or big hit E according to the small hit type) Big hit game) is executed.

  Since the big hit C to big hit E is always controlled to the high base state after the big hit game is over, if the number of the second special view reservation memory number is 0 after the big hit game is over, the chance time is entered again. Thereafter, when the second special map reserve storage number occurs during the chance time, the chance time and the rush zone are repeatedly executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 43 (A) and 43 (B), the big hit A, big hit C, big hit D, and big hit E at the end of the big hit game is controlled to the high base state with the first special view reserved memory. In the case of entering into a chance time, variable display of the first effect pattern corresponding to the special symbol is started in the lower left part of the effect display device 5, and in the normal pattern in the effect pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The display of the initial stop symbol of the corresponding second effect symbol is started. Furthermore, the countdown display device 400 starts the countdown to the high base end time effect start timing 1 according to the special figure fluctuation time of the first special symbol.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 43 (C) and 43 (D), the big hit A, big hit C, big hit D, big hit E is controlled to the high base state without the first special view reservation memory at the end of the big hit game. In the case of entering into a chance time, the stop symbol of the first effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is displayed in the lower left portion of the effect display device 5, and the normal symbol is displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The display of the initial stop symbol of the corresponding second effect symbol is started. Further, the effect display device 5 starts displaying that the variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state is not yet started ("Chance time ready" shown in FIG. 43 (D)), and the countdown display device At 400, blinking of all segments is executed as the first special symbol variation start waiting effect.

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening after being controlled to the high base state in the absence of the first special symbol holding memory in this manner, the lower left portion of the effect display device 5 corresponds to the special symbol. While the variable display of the first effect pattern is started, the display indicating that the variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state is not yet started is ended. Then, the countdown display device 400 starts the countdown to the high base end time effect start timing 1 according to the special figure fluctuation time of the first special symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the big hit A, big hit C, big hit D, and big hit E shown in FIG. 43 (D) is controlled to the high base state without the first special view pending storage at the end of the big hit game 3 When the game is stopped, the game is stopped, and the error notification indicating that the high base state is controlled without the first special view reserve storage is displayed on the effect display device 5 or the voice output by the speakers 8L and 8R, It is executed by the light emission of the game effect LED 9 or the like.

The subtraction is updated. The value of the abnormality monitoring timer which is set whenever there is an input of the winning 1 signal may be a value corresponding to a predetermined period such as one second or five seconds, or may be small. It may be a value corresponding to a game-related period in the pachinko gaming machine 1, such as a period of execution of a hit game.

  FIGS. 50 and 51 are flowcharts showing an example of processing executed by the hall computer 1000 (more precisely, the CPU (not shown) of the hall computer 1000) as the abnormality determination processing. In the abnormality determination process, the hall computer 1000 first refers to the game information storage table shown in FIG. 48, and an abnormality monitoring timer indicating a period until it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. It is determined whether or not there is a table number in which the abnormality monitoring timer is set in the gaming information storage table (S1402). If there is a machine number in which the abnormality monitoring timer is set, the process advances to step S1403. If there is no machine number in which the abnormality monitoring timer is set, the process advances to step S1414.

  In S1403, the hall computer 1000 refers to the game information storage table, and specifies a machine number for which the abnormality monitoring timer has timed out from among the machine numbers for which the abnormality monitoring timer is set. Then, it is determined whether there is a machine number for which the abnormality monitoring timer has timed out (S1404). If there is a machine number for which the abnormality monitoring timer has timed out, the machine number for which the abnormality monitoring timer has timed out is specified, and the process proceeds to S1409 (S1405). The machine number for which the abnormality monitoring timer has timed out is If not, the game information storage table is referred to, and a base program having an input of the symbol determination signal is specified from among the base numbers for which the abnormality monitoring timer is set (S1406), and a base number having an input of the symbol determination signal It is determined whether or not there is (S1407). If there is no table number having a symbol determination signal input, the process proceeds to S1410, and if there is a table number having a symbol determination signal input, the gaming information storage table is referred to, an abnormality monitoring timer is set, and A machine number having a decision signal input is identified, and the process proceeds to S1409 (S1408).

  Then, in S1409, the hall computer 1000 executes the abnormality notification setting corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the machine number specified in S1405 or S1409, and proceeds to S1410. In the present embodiment, on the basis of the abnormality notification setting performed in S1409, the abnormality notification is executed on the display provided in the hall computer 1000 (see FIG. 54).

  In S1410, the hall computer 1000 refers to the game information storage table, identifies the number of the big hit 1 signal input among the number on which the abnormality monitoring timer is set, and obtains the large hit 1 signal input It is determined whether or not there is (S1411). If there is no stand number having a big hit 1 signal input, the processing proceeds to S1414. If there is a stand number having a big hit 1 signal input, the gaming information storage table is referred to, the abnormality monitoring timer is set, and the big hit A machine number having one signal input is specified (S1412). Then, the abnormality monitoring timer of the machine number specified in S1412 is cleared, and the process proceeds to S1414 (S1413).

  In S1414, the hall computer refers to the game information storage table, identifies a platform number having a low base shot ball number of 100, and determines whether there is a platform number having a low base shot ball number of 100. (S1415). If there is no machine number with which the low base shot ball number is 100, the process proceeds to S1422, and if there is a machine number with the low base shot ball number 100, the low base time base value is calculated for each specified machine number. (S1416). The low base time base value refers to a value obtained by dividing the low base time award ball number by 100, which is the low base time shot ball number.

  Further, the base determination value storage table is referred to, and the low base time base lower limit value Bll and the low base time base upper limit value Blu are specified for each machine number specified in S1414 (S1417). Then, the low base base value calculated in S1416 is compared with the low base base lower limit B11 and the low base base upper limit Blu specified in S1417 for each identified machine number, and the calculated low base base value is Bll. Identify a machine number that is less than or greater than Blu (S1418). It is determined whether there is a machine number where the calculated low base time base value is less than Bll or greater than Blu (S1419). If there is no machine number where the calculated low base time base value is less than Bll or greater than Blu, the processing proceeds to S1422, and there is a machine number where the calculated low base time base value is less than Bll or greater than Blu. In the case, the abnormality notification setting corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the identified machine number is executed (S1420). Further, the values of the low base shot ball number and the low base win ball number stored in the game information storage table in association with the machine number specified in S1414 are set to 0, and the process proceeds to S1422 (S1421). Note that the hall computer 1000 determines on the screen of the hall computer 1000 that there is a base number where the calculated low base time base value is less than Bll or greater than Blu based on the abnormality notification setting executed in S1420. Abnormality may be notified by display or sound output from a speaker.

  Next, in S1421, the hall computer refers to the game information storage table, identifies a platform number having a high base shot ball number of 100, and determines whether there is a platform number having a high base shot ball number of 100. It judges (S1423). If there is no machine number with a high base shot ball number of 100, the abnormality determination processing is ended, and if there is a machine number with a high base shot ball number of 100, the high base time base is determined for each identified machine number. A value is calculated (S1424). The high base time base value refers to a value obtained by dividing the high base time award ball number by 100, which is the high base time shot ball number.

  Further, the base determination value storage table is referred to, and the high base time base lower limit Bhl and the high base time base upper limit Bhu are specified for each machine number specified in S1422 (S1425). The high base base value calculated in S1424 is compared with the high base base lower limit Bhl and the high base base upper limit Bhu specified in S1425 for each identified machine number, and the calculated high base base value is Bhl. Identify a machine number that is less than or greater than Bhu (S1426). It is determined whether there is a machine number where the calculated high base time base value is less than Bhl or greater than Bhu (S1427). If there is no machine number where the calculated high base time base value is less than Bhl or higher than Bhu, the abnormality determination processing is ended, and the calculated high base time base value is lower than Bhl or higher than Bhu If there is a number, an abnormality notification setting corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the identified machine number is executed (S1428). Further, the values of the high base shot ball number and the high base win ball number stored in the game information storage table in association with the machine number specified in S1422 are set to 0, and the abnormality determination processing is ended (S1429) ). Note that the hall computer 1000 uses the screen of the hall computer 1000 to indicate that the calculated high base time base value is less than Bhl or greater than Bhu, based on the abnormality notification setting executed in S1428. Abnormality may be notified by display or sound output from a speaker.

  In particular, as a combination of signals input from the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 53, when there is no input of both the jackpot 2 signal and the prize 1 signal (jackpot 2 signal: OFF, prize winning 1 signal: OFF), there is input of 2 signals of big hit, but there is no input of 1 signal of winning (2 signals of big hit: ON, 1 signal of winning: OFF), while there is no input of 2 signals of big hit, 1 signal of winning 1 signal When there is an input (big hit 2 signal: OFF, winning 1 signal: ON), there is a case where both big hit 2 signal and winning 1 signal are input (big hit 2 signal: ON, winning 1 signal: ON).

  In the combination of the jackpot 2 signal and the prize 1 signal, if there is no input for both the jackpot 2 signal and the prize 1 signal, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (low base state) If there is an input of the jackpot 2 signal while there is no input of the prize 1 signal, while the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the jackpot game, the small hitting game based on the variation display of the high base state or the second special symbol To indicate that

  Also, when there is no input of the jackpot 2 signal but there is an input of the winning 1 signal, the V winning is generated during the small hitting game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 based on the variable display of the first special symbol, or usually In the state (low base state), it indicates that a winning to the second start winning opening has occurred. It should be noted that when there is no input of the big hit 2 signal, but that there is an input of the winning 1 signal indicates that V winning has occurred during the small hit game based on the variation display of the first special symbol, the big hit immediately after Since the game is to be started, that is, the input of the big hit 1 signal is to be started, if there is no input of the big hit 1 until the abnormality monitoring timer times out, or if the abnormal monitoring timer does not time out. When there is an input of the symbol determination signal before the start of the input of the jackpot 1 signal (that is, when the V winning is generated although the second large winning opening 712 is not being opened and the special symbol is being changed) In step S1409, an abnormal notification setting is made on the assumption that an incorrect winning to the second big winning opening 712 has occurred, and the abnormal is notified.

  In addition, when there are both big hit 2 signal and winning 1 signal input, V winning has occurred during small hit game based on the variation display of the second special symbol while pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the big hit game, or In the normal state (low base state), it indicates that a winning to the second start winning opening has occurred. If it is shown that V winning has occurred during a small hit game based on the variation display of the second special symbol that there is both inputs of 2 hit and 1 win signal, the big hit game is started immediately after That is, since the input of the jackpot 1 signal is to be started, if the jackpot 1 signal is not input until the abnormality monitoring timer times out, or if the abnormality monitoring timer is not out, the jackpot 1 signal If there is an input of the symbol confirmation signal before the start of the input (that is, if the V winning is generated despite the fact that the second large winning opening 712 is not being opened and the special symbol is being displayed), The abnormality notification setting is performed in S1409 on the assumption that the false detection due to the failure of the 3-count switch 24B or the generation of the noise occurs, and the abnormality is notified.

  In the present embodiment, a mode in which the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be determined in the hall computer 1000 by the combination of the jackpot 2 signal and the prize 1 signal is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is possible to determine whether or not the second starting winning opening has occurred in the normal state (low base state) in the hall computer 1000 by the combination of the winning 3 signal and the winning 1 signal indicating the winning on all starting winning openings. It may be

  FIG. 52A is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the hole computer 1000 (more precisely, the CPU (not shown) of the hole computer 1000) as the prize ball ratio calculation processing. In the prize ball ratio calculation process, the hall computer 1000 first refers to the game information storage table to specify the number of the jackpot without input of the big hit 1 signal (S1431), whether there is the base number without input of the jackpot 1 It is determined whether or not it is (S1432). If there is no entry number of the big hit 1 signal, the winning ball ratio calculation processing is ended, and if there is the entry number without the input of the big hit 1 signal, the gaming information storage table is referred to and the entry of the big hit 1 signal is Out of the non-standby numbers, a jackpot number 1 and a jackpot number 2 other than 0 are further specified (S1433).

  Then, the winning ball ratio H1 and the winning ball ratio H2 are calculated for each machine number specified in S1433 (S1434). In addition, the prize ball ratio H1 is a prize generated by winning a prize winning prize other than the value of the big hit prize 1 during the big hit prize, which is the value of the big hit mid prize ball number 1 which is the number of all prize hits during one big hit. It is calculated by dividing the difference between the ball number and the value of the big hit middle ball number 2 by the value of the big hit middle ball number 1 (Prize ball ratio H1 = (big hit middle ball number 1-big hit middle prize ball Number 2) / Jackpot number 1). In addition, the prize ball ratio H2 is the value of the big hit middle ball number 2 which is the number of big hit balls generated by winning to the winning mouth other than the one big hit during the big hit in one big hit middle small ball number 1 Calculated by dividing the number (Rise ball ratio H2 = big hit middle hit number 2 / big hit middle number 1).

  After calculating the winning ball ratio H1 and the winning ball ratio H2 in S1434, the calculated winning ball ratio H1 and winning ball ratio H2 are updated and stored in the winning ball ratio storage table for each machine number specified in S1433. The sphere ratio calculation process ends (S1435).

  FIG. 52B is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the hole computer 1000 (more precisely, the CPU (not shown) of the hole computer 1000) as the hit probability calculation processing. In the hit probability calculation process, the hall computer 1000 first refers to the game information storage table to specify the number of the big hit 2 signal not input (S1441), whether there is the number of big hit 2 signal not It is determined whether or not (S1442). If there is no base number with no big hit 2 signal input, the process proceeds to S1445. If there is a base number without big hit 2 signal input, a big hit probability V1 is calculated for each base number specified in S1441 (S1443). The big hit probability V1 is calculated by dividing the number of big hits stored for each machine number in the game information storage table by the number of special figure variations (big hit probability V1 = number of big hits / number of special chart variations).

  After the big hit probability V1 is calculated in S1443, the calculated big hit probability V1 is updated and stored in the hit probability storage table for each machine number specified in S1441, and the process proceeds to S1445 (S1444).

  Further, in S1445, the hall computer 1000 refers to the gaming information storage table, and specifies a machine number having an input of the jackpot 2 signal. Then, the probability V2 per common drawing is calculated for each machine number specified in S1445 (S1446). Incidentally, the probability V2 per common drawing is calculated by dividing the number per common drawing stored for each machine number in the gaming information storage table by the number of general fluctuation (generally the probability V2 = number per common drawing). / The number of fluctuations in the common map).

  After calculating the probability V2 per common drawing in S1446, the calculated probability V2 per common drawing is updated and stored in the hit probability storage table for each machine number specified in S1445, and the hit probability calculation processing is ended.

  As described above, the hall computer 1000 updates the contents of the game information storage table based on the signals input from the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 and the out tank 500, determines whether the game information storage table is abnormal, calculates the winning ball ratio, and calculates the hit probability. On the display screen of the hall computer 1000, as shown in FIG. 54, based on the contents of the gaming information storage table, the base determination value storage table, the prize ball ratio storage table, and the hit probability storage table updated by executing the Low base time base value, high base time base value, winning ball ratio H1, winning ball ratio H2, jackpot probability in low base state, probability per common drawing in high base state, occurrence for each machine number corresponding to pachinko gaming machine 1 It is possible to display the presence and type of an abnormality (error) being done.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 48, the hall computer 1000 distinguishes and counts the number of fluctuations in the normal state (low base state) of the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 and the number of fluctuations in the high base state, and calculates the normal state ( As the number of fluctuations in the low base state), the number of fluctuations in the special map is counted, and the number of fluctuations in the general drawing as the number of fluctuations in the high base state.

  Furthermore, when the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (low base state) (when the big hit 2 signal is OFF), the hall computer 1000 tabulates the number of big hits based on the symbol determination signal and the big hit 1 signal. If it is possible and the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the high base state (when the big hit 2 signal is ON), it becomes possible to count the number of times per common drawing based on the signal per common drawing for the symbol confirmation signal There is.

The second special drawing reserve memory is generated by the occurrence of the common drawing hit, and the V prize is generated during the small hit game based on the fluctuation display result of the second special symbol after the end of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol. Although the form applied to the pachinko game machine 1 which performs a big hit game by example was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is over the change display of the special symbol of one or several times after the end of the big hit game. Control to a high base state, generating a second special view reserve memory by generating a hit per common figure during the variable display of a plurality of special symbols controlled to the high base state, of the second special symbol Small hit based on the fluctuation display result A pachinko gaming machine that executes a big hit game by generating a V prize during a game, that is, it controls the big hit game state based on the variation display result of a so-called normal 1 type + 2 type mixed type (special symbol, small hit The present invention may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine of a type in which a jackpot gaming state is controlled based on the occurrence of the V prize during the game.

  Further, although the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, gaming balls having a predetermined number of balls are inside the gaming machine In addition, the number of balls that have been enclosed so as to be able to circulate and is lent out in response to a player's request for lending, and the number of prize balls awarded in response to winnings are added, while the number of gaming balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines that are stored. In these enclosed game machines, not the gaming balls but points or points are awarded to the player, so the points or points given are the game values.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in order to notify the CPU for effect control 120 of the fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation mode such as the fluctuation time and the type of reach effect, an example of transmitting one fluctuation pattern designation command when the fluctuation is started Although shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the CPU 120 for effect control by two or more commands. Specifically, when notifying by two commands, the CPU 103 uses, for example, the first command, a fluctuation time or fluctuation mode before reaching reach (before reaching a so-called second stop if not reaching reach). The second command indicates the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode after reaching the reach (after reaching a so-called second stop if not reaching), such as the type of reach and the presence of re-lottery effect. The command may be transmitted, or only the fluctuation time may be notified by the first command and the second command, and the CPU 120 for effect control regarding the specific fluctuation mode executed at each timing. The selection may be made by When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending the first command, after a predetermined period has elapsed (for example, the next timer interrupt) And the second command may be sent. As described above, by notifying a change pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which must be stored as a change pattern specification command.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the game ball is shot out from below the game area by the ball striking device, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the ball striking device may be pachinko game machine 1 The game ball may be launched from the upper position of the game area by providing the game ball at the upper position of the game area.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B respectively variably display a plurality of types of special symbols including the final stop symbol as a display result, and then stop the final stop symbol Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention stops display of the final stop design after variably displaying a plurality of special symbols without including the final stop design as a display result. It may be That is, the final stop symbol to be the display result may be a symbol different from the special symbol used for the variable display.

  In the above embodiment, while the first large winning opening is opened during the big hit game, the second large winning opening 712 is opened during the small hitting game, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead of opening the second large winning opening 712 without opening the first large winning opening in the large hit game and small hit game, the variation display result of the special symbol became a big hit In the case of big hit game to be executed, ie, big hit A, big hit B and big hit C in the big hit game, open the first big winning opening during the big hit game, based on the V winning occurred in the small hit game In the big hit game to be executed, that is, the big hit game of the big hit D and the big hit E, the second big winning opening may be opened during the big hit game.

  Moreover, in the said Example, while the ratio which a variation display result becomes a big hit is the same in the fluctuation display of the 1st special symbol and the fluctuation display of the 2nd special symbol, the direction of the fluctuation display of the 2nd special symbol is the same. The variable display result is a small hit at a higher rate than the variable display of the first special symbol, and V winning is generated during the small hit game, so it is controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the variable display of the second special symbol. Although the ratio illustrates the form higher than the ratio controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the fluctuation display of the first special symbol, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol The percentage controlled to the big hit gaming state based on may be higher than the percentage controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the change display of the second special symbol.
