The opening pattern of the big hit ZF indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 0.04 seconds in the third round game. In addition, the opening pattern of the big hit ZF indicates that in the fourth round game, the second big winning opening 22 is closed for 8 seconds after being opened for 3 seconds, and then opened for 22 seconds. The big hit ZF opening pattern indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the fifth round game. The big hit ZF opening pattern indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 0.04 seconds in the sixth round game.

  The big hit ZG opening pattern indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the first to third round games. The big hit ZG opening pattern indicates that the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds in the fourth round game.

The big hit ZG opening pattern indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 0.04 seconds in the sixth round game.

  The big hit ZH opening pattern indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the first to second round games. The opening pattern of the big hit ZH indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 0.04 seconds in the third round game. The big hit ZH opening pattern indicates that the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds in the fourth round game. The opening pattern of the big hit ZH indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the fifth to sixth round games.

  In FIG. 6, the opening pattern of the big hit Za indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the first to third round games. The big hit Za opening pattern indicates that the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 25 seconds in the fourth round game. Further, the opening pattern of the big hit Za indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the fifth to 16th round games.

  The opening pattern of the big hit Zb indicates that the first big winning opening 19 is opened for 25 seconds in the first to third round games. The opening pattern of the big hit Zb indicates that the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 25 seconds in the fourth round game.

  FIG. 7 shows the timing at which the privilege granting port 26 is opened and closed in the fourth round game of each big hit game. As shown in FIG. 7, in the fourth round game, the privilege provision port 26 is opened for 3 seconds, closed for 2 seconds, and then opened for 25 seconds. In addition, when the end condition of the fourth round of the round game is satisfied (that is, when the upper limit of the number of entered game balls enters, or when the second large winning opening 22 is opened and closed in a defined opening and closing mode), Since the fourth round game ends, the game ends and closes on the way.

  In the fourth round, the time during which the privilege providing port 26 is first opened is short (3 seconds), so that the possibility of entering the ball during this time is low. For this reason, in the jackpot game (for example, jackpot ZC, jackpot ZG, jackpot ZH) in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds and the fourth round game is completed, the privilege granting opening 26 is used. The possibility that the game ball enters is low. On the other hand, since the time when the privilege providing port 26 is opened for the second time is extremely long (25 seconds), the possibility of entering the ball during this time is high. For this reason, in the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 22 seconds or 25 seconds, there is a high possibility that the game ball enters the privilege giving opening 26.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be said that among the big hit games, there are a special hit game in which game balls easily enter the privilege granting port 26 and a normal hit game in which game balls hardly enter the privilege granting port 26. . Then, the big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za and Zb are special hit games in which game balls can easily enter the privilege granting port 26. The big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH are normal hit games in which game balls are unlikely to enter the privilege granting port 26.

  In the big hit ZA to the big hit ZC, the number of round games in which the first big winning port 19 or the second big winning port 22 is long open (25 seconds or 22 seconds open) is seven rounds. In the big hit ZD to the big hit ZH, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is four. In the big hit Za, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is 16 rounds. In the big hit Zb, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is four. Then, in proportion to the number of round games to be opened long, the expected number of acquired prize balls in one big hit game increases.

  In addition, since the big hit ZA and the big hit ZD have the same open mode until the fourth round, it is possible to pay attention to whether the first big winning opening 19 is long opened in the fifth round game. Similarly, the jackpot ZB and the jackpot ZE have the same open mode up to the fourth round, so that it is possible to pay attention to whether the first big winning opening 19 is long opened in the fifth round game. Similarly, the big hit ZC and the big hit ZG are in the same open mode until the fifth round, so that it is possible to pay attention to whether the first big winning opening 19 is long opened in the round game of the sixth round. Similarly, the big hit ZF and the big hit ZH are in the same open mode until the third round, so that it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the second big winning opening 22 is long opened in the fourth round game.

  The big hit ZB, big hit ZC, big hit ZE, and big hit ZG are in the middle of the fourth round (specifically, until the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds), and the first big winning opening 19 Since the opening mode of the second special winning opening 22 is the same as that of the second special winning opening 22, it is possible to give attention to whether or not the second special winning opening 22 is long opened and to draw attention. Similarly, the big hit ZF and the big hit ZH are not changed until the middle of the fourth round (specifically, until the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds), the first big winning opening 19 and the second big winning opening 22. Are open in the same manner, it is possible to give attention to whether or not the second special winning opening 22 is to be opened long, and to draw attention. In addition, the special hit game (big hit ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb) has the same effect as the normal hit game (big hit ZC, ZG, ZH) up to halfway. It can be said that there is a special hit game (big hit ZB, ZE, ZF).

Next, a control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
On the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a main control board 30 is mounted. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10 and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game in accordance with the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 executes processing related to determination of a display mode (a display image such as a design, a background, or a character) of the effect display device 13 based on a control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30; The display content is controlled according to the processing result.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c. A first start sensor SE1, a second start sensor SE2, a first count sensor SE3, a second count sensor SE4, and a privilege sensor SE5 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, actuators ACT1 to ACT4 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a gate sensor SE6, a first hold display device 27a, and a second hold display device 27b. A normal symbol display device 28 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The fluctuation pattern is a game effect (display effect, etc.) between the time when the symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts the fluctuation display (the fluctuation game is started) and the time when the symbol is stopped (the fluctuation game is ended). This shows a base pattern. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from the start of the special symbol change display to the stop of the special symbol display. In the variation pattern according to the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the effect contents (such as the presence or absence of a big hit) of the variation game from the start of the variation display of the special symbol to the stop of the display of the special symbol.

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the variation pattern includes a variation variation pattern that specifies a variation effect. Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern and the loss variation pattern. The jackpot effect is an effect in which the fluctuation game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol combination of the jackpot. The loss effect is an effect in which the fluctuating game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol combination of the loss.

  The main control ROM 30b stores various judgment values. For example, the big hit determination value used in the big hit lottery is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The number of jackpot determination values when the probable change state is provided is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the probable change state is not provided.

  Various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control RAM 30c. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probable change flag indicating whether or not a probable change state is provided. The main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not a short-range state (increased ball entry rate state) is given.

  Further, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the hit determination random number is a random number used for the hit lottery. The special symbol distribution random number is a random number used to determine a special symbol (type of big hit game). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to determine a variation pattern. The possible values of the random numbers for the variation pattern distribution are different for each classification of the outlier variation pattern and the big hit variation pattern. The random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 includes an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various information (random number values, timer values, flags, and the like) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the effect control RAM 31c stores a sub-probable change flag indicating whether or not the probable change state is given. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a sub-operation flag indicating whether or not a shortened state (increased ball entry rate state) is provided. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  In addition, the effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When inputting various control commands, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various types of image data (image data of patterns, various background images, characters, characters, and the like). The effect display device 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input processing will be described. The special symbol input process is executed by the main control CPU 30a at predetermined intervals.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first suspension determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting winning port 14. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball has been input. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the first hold storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified first hold storage number. Is smaller than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the first reserved storage number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the first reserved storage number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input processing.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the first variable game and stores the values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in the predetermined storage area. At this time, the random number value relating to the first variable game and the order of obtaining the random number are stored so as to be recognized. The main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the first reserved storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of the random number value not yet used in the fluctuation game). Then, when the storage content of the main control RAM 30c is updated and the first reserved storage number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the first reserved display device 27a to display the updated first reserved storage number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the first hold storage information such as the updated first hold storage number. Then, the special symbol input processing ends.

  When the result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball does not enter the first starting winning port 14), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second starting winning port 16. A second hold determination is made to determine whether That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball has been input. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the second hold storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified second hold storage number. Is smaller than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the second reserved storage number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the second reserved storage number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input processing.

  When the determination result of the second reserved storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the second variable game and stores the predetermined random number values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in the storage area. At this time, it is stored so that the random number value related to the second fluctuation game and the order of obtaining the random number value can be recognized. The main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the second reserved storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of the random number value not used in the fluctuation game yet). Then, when the storage content of the main control RAM 30c is updated and the second reserved storage number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the second reserved display device 27b to display the updated second reserved storage number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the second hold storage information such as the updated second hold storage number. Then, the special symbol input processing ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first holding sensor number has not reached the upper limit value when the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball, the start condition of the first variable game is satisfied. As a result, information (random number value, etc.) for executing the first fluctuation game is stored. Similarly, when the second holding sensor number does not reach the upper limit when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball, the start condition of the second variable game is satisfied, and the second start condition is satisfied. Information (random number value, etc.) for executing the fluctuation game is stored.

Next, the special symbol start processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the big hit game or the symbol change game is not being performed, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved storage number and determines whether the second reserved storage number is greater than “0”.

  When the second reserved storage number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved storage number and determines whether the first reserved storage number is larger than “0”. When the first reserved storage number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, if the result of this determination is affirmative (when the first number of stored memories> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the first variable game has been established, and the predetermined storage in the main control RAM 30c. A value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the area. In the present embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the symbol change game is being executed, that is, when the second reserved storage number = 0, and when the first reserved storage number> 0 (ie, The execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied when the second variable game whose execution is suspended does not exist and the first variable game whose execution is suspended exists).

  Next, among the random number values related to the first variable game (used in the first variable game), the main control CPU 30a determines the random number value related to the first variable game executed first in the acquisition order ( (A random number for hit determination, a random number for variation pattern distribution, and a random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest random number value among the random number values related to the first variable game and not used to execute the first variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the first reserved display device 27a to indicate the first reserved storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the first hold storage information such as the updated first hold storage number.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the hit determination random number matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b to perform a big hit determination (hit lottery). When the probability change state is given, the determination is made based on the jackpot determination value for the probability change state (that is, the winning is performed with a high probability). If the probable change state is not given, the determination is made using the jackpot determination value for the non-probable change state.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the jackpot game based on the value of the acquired symbol distribution random number, and selects the special jackpot game from the special jackpot symbols. The final stop symbol that is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation patterns based on the acquired variation pattern distribution random numbers.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. At the time of the second variation game, various processes relating to the second variation game are executed.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first specifies a fluctuation pattern and first outputs a fluctuation pattern specification command for instructing the start of symbol fluctuation. The fluctuation pattern designation command also indicates information on which of the first fluctuation game and the second fluctuation game is to be executed. At the same time as outputting the variation pattern designation command, the main control CPU 30a changes the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start the variation of the special symbol. Control. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a big hit symbol, the type of the big hit game can be specified. Therefore, the special symbol designation command is also a hit type designation command for designating the type of the hit game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time (variation time) defined in the designated variation pattern so as to display the final stop symbol. The display content of one special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs the stop of the fluctuation of the decorative symbol based on the effect time set in the specified fluctuation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a transfers the lost symbol to the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 for the second variation game). Is determined as the final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier variation patterns based on the acquired value of the variation pattern distribution random number.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as in the above (in the case of a big hit). Then, various processes relating to the first variable game (various processes relating to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. After that, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when the second number of retained memories> 0, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second fluctuation game is to be executed in the special symbol fluctuation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Set. In this embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the variable game is being executed, and when the second number of stored memories> 0 (that is, when there is a second variable game whose execution is suspended) ), The execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied.

  Next, among the random number values related to the second variation game (used for the second variation game), the main control CPU 30a determines the random number value related to the second variation game executed first in the acquisition order ( (A random number for a hit determination, a random number for a variation pattern distribution, and a random number for a special symbol distribution). Specifically, among the random number values related to the second fluctuation game and not used for executing the second fluctuation game, the random number value obtained earliest is obtained. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 27b so as to indicate the second reserved storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold storage information such as the updated second hold storage number.

Hereinafter, based on the obtained random numbers, processing relating to the second fluctuation game is executed. However, since the processing is the same as that in the first fluctuation game, detailed description is omitted.
By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number are stored, the main control CPU 30a gives priority to the second variable game. Execute. Then, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, unlike the first variable game, a big hit game having a large number of substantial rounds in which a prize ball can be expected is likely to be provided. Thereby, when a big hit occurs in the second variable game, it is possible to expect the prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, when the normal hit game is provided, the player tends to be more advantageous.

  As described above, the main control CPU 30a according to the present embodiment executes the lottery for the variable game when the game ball enters the starting winning port (the first starting winning port 14 or the second starting winning port 16). It becomes a lottery means. Further, when the main control CPU 30a wins the jackpot determination (hit lottery), a jackpot game giving a jackpot game in which a special winning port (the first jackpot 19 or the second jackpot 22) is opened. Means.

  Then, when determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts control of the big hit game of the type specified based on the final stop symbol after the symbol changing game based on the determined changing pattern is finished, and the effect control board 31 ( A predetermined control command is output to the effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command to the effect control board 31 indicating that the opening time has started. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls opening and closing of the first special winning opening 19 and the second special winning opening 22 for each round game. In other words, the main control CPU 30a keeps the first big winning opening 19 or until the upper limit number of game balls enter the ball or until the game ball is opened and closed in a prescribed opening mode predetermined for each round game. The second winning opening 22 is opened and closed. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls opening and closing of the privilege providing port 26 in the fourth round game. Then, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the first special winning opening 19 and the second special winning opening 22 in a specified opening / closing mode (or after the upper limit of the number of game balls entered), and then performs a round game. finish. These series of controls are executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the round game of the specified number of rounds ends, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command to the effect control board 31 indicating that the ending time has started. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not to give the probable change state depending on whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 (that is, whether or not it has been detected by the privilege sensor SE5). To determine. When a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26, the main control CPU 30a determines that a probable change state is to be provided, and sets a value indicating that the probable change state is provided to the main probable change flag.

  In addition, when providing the probable change state, the main control CPU 30a determines the number of times the probable change state is provided, and sets the value in the main probable change number flag. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a sets “120 times” in the main probability change flag. The main probable change number flag is decremented by “1” every time the fluctuation game is executed, and when it becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main probable change flag.

  Note that the main control CPU 30a once resets the values of the main probable change flag and the main probable change number flag when the jackpot game is awarded. In addition, the main control CPU 30a determines not to provide the certain change state when the game ball is not in the privilege providing port 26.

  Further, when ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a decides to give the shortened state (ball entry rate improved state). Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the shortened state is given to the main operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the number of times the short state is given according to whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege giving port 26, and sets the value in the main operation number flag. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a sets “120 times” as the main operation number flag when a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26, and the game ball does not enter the privilege provision port 26. In this case, “100 times” is set in the main operation number flag.

  The main operation count flag is decremented by "1" every time the variable game is executed, and when it becomes "0", the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. Note that the main control CPU 30a once resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, when a game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 during the big hit game (when the game ball is detected by the privilege sensor SE5), the main control CPU 30a issues a control command (privilege notification command) notifying the fact. Output. As described above, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment functions as a privilege granting unit that grants a privilege (probable change state) after the end of the big hit game, triggered by the entry of a game ball into the privilege giving port 26 during the big hit game. .

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input at a predetermined timing from the main control CPU 30a, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes in response thereto.

  For example, when the special effect designating command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination based on a decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 based on the final stop symbol specified by the special symbol designating command. That is, when the final stop symbol specified by the special symbol designation command is a big hit symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a big hit symbol combination. If the designated final stop symbol is a lost symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a lost symbol combination.

  Then, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs the fluctuation pattern specification command, the effect display device 13 is controlled to execute the fluctuation game based on the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern specification command. Thereafter, when inputting the all symbol stop command, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  Upon input of the privilege notification command, effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probable change state is given to the sub-probability change flag. Further, when inputting the privilege notification command, the effect control CPU 31a sets “120 times” in the sub-variable number flag. The sub-probability change count flag is decremented by "1" each time the fluctuation game is executed, and when it becomes "0", the effect control CPU 31a resets the value of the sub-probability change flag. Note that the effect control CPU 31a once resets the values of the sub-probability change flag and the sub-probability change count flag when the jackpot game is awarded.

  Further, when ending the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the variable state is added to the sub-operation flag. Further, the effect control CPU 31a sets “120 times” in the sub-operation number flag when the privilege notification command is input, and sets “100 times” in the sub-operation number flag when the privilege notification command is not input. I do.

  The sub-operation number flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed, and when it becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a resets the value of the sub-operation flag. Note that the effect control CPU 31a once resets the values of the sub-operation flag and the sub-operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded.

Then, in the present embodiment, after the big hit game is completed, the effect mode is determined, and based on the effect mode, the effect mode of the game effect such as the variable game is specified.
More specifically, a plurality of effect modes are prepared, and in the present embodiment, three types of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode are prepared. Then, the effect form of the game effect (for example, the background image, the distribution of the fluctuation pattern, the specific effect contents of the fluctuation game to be executed, etc.) is made different for each effect mode. The background image is an image displayed on the effect display device 13 excluding a decorative pattern related to the fluctuating game. The specific production contents of the fluctuation game are the production contents excluding the presence or absence of the big hit and the fluctuation time, and include, for example, the type and content of the character image appearing, the development of the production, the display color, the stop timing and the order of the design. And so on. In the present embodiment, the distribution of the variation pattern is configured to be different for each effect mode. More specifically, in the case of a big hit, the distribution of the big hit variation pattern is made different for each effect mode, and in the case of a big hit, the assignment of the deviation change pattern is made different for each effect mode.

Next, a method for determining the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control CPU 30a determines an effect mode after the end of the big hit game, depending on whether or not a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines that the big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, and Zb are easy for the game ball to enter the privilege granting port 26 (the second large winning port 22 is opened long). In the case where the game has been awarded, when a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26, the first mode is determined as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game. Then, when determining the first mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the first mode is being performed in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a mode signal notifying that the mode is the first mode to the effect control board 31. When the effect control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the first mode is being performed in the sub-mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a is provided with the big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, and Zb in which the game ball easily enters the privilege giving port 26 (the second big winning port 22 opens long). In this case, when the game ball does not enter the privilege provision port 26, the second mode is determined as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game. Then, when determining the second mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second mode is being performed in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a mode signal notifying that the mode is the second mode to the effect control board 31. When the effect control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the second mode is being performed in the sub-mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a returns to the privilege granting port 26 when the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH are granted when it is difficult for game balls to enter the privilege granting port 26 (the second large winning port 22 does not open long). When the game ball enters, the third mode is determined as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game. Then, when determining the third mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the third mode is being performed in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a mode signal notifying that the mode is the third mode to the effect control board 31. When the mode control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the third mode is being performed in the sub-mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH are given when the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege giving port 26 (the second big winning port 22 does not open long). If the game ball has not entered, the second mode is determined as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game. Then, when determining the second mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second mode is being performed in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a mode signal notifying that the mode is the second mode to the effect control board 31. When the effect control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the second mode is being performed in the sub-mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a serves as an effect mode determination unit that determines an effect mode for specifying an effect mode of a game effect. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect mode for specifying an effect mode of the game effect after the end of the big hit game, based on the presence or absence of a game ball in the privilege provision port 26 during the big hit game. It can be said that it is configured. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a special effect mode (third mode) as an effect mode when a game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 during a normal hit game (big hit ZC, ZG, ZH). It can be said that it is configured.

  As described above, when the game ball does not enter the privilege provision port 26 (that is, when the certain change state is not provided), the second mode is determined. Therefore, when the second mode is determined, the player recognizes that the certain change state is not provided. In addition, since the privilege provision port 26 is arranged in the discharge passage 25, the presence or absence of a ball cannot be directly visually recognized. Furthermore, the moment when the game ball enters the second special winning opening 22 (and the privilege granting opening 26) is a short time and is easily overlooked. For this reason, by determining the second mode, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the certain change state has not been given.

  In addition, when a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26 (that is, when a certain change state is provided), the first mode or the third mode is determined. For this reason, when the first mode or the third mode is determined, the player recognizes that the probable change state is given.

  In particular, when the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH, in which the game balls are difficult to enter the privilege providing port 26, are provided, and when the game balls enter the privilege providing port 26, the third effect mode is set as a special effect mode. Determine the mode. For this reason, it is possible to make the player recognize that the game ball has been allowed to enter the privilege providing port 26 in the big hit game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege providing port 26, and can give a sense of superiority with surprise. . In addition, in the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH where it is difficult for game balls to enter the privilege providing port 26, the second large winning port 22 is opened only for a short time, so that it is difficult to make a judgment and easily overlook. Therefore, the player can confirm by determining the third mode.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the normal effect mode as the effect mode when the short state ends and shifts to the normal state. The normal effect mode is an effect mode that indicates a normal state (a state in which the short state and the certain state are not provided). Then, when determining the normal effect mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the normal effect mode is being performed in the main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs a mode signal notifying that it is the normal effect mode to the effect control board 31. Based on the mode signal, effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the normal effect mode is being set in the sub mode flag stored in effect control RAM 31c.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a determines that a probable change state is given when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 during a big hit game (that is, when a privilege notification command is input). The effect display device 13 is controlled so as to execute the privilege notification effect to be notified. That is, the effect control CPU 31a executes a privilege notification effect of notifying that a bonus is provided when a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26 when a big hit game is provided.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 10A, the effect display device 13 displays a character image G1 notifying that a certain change state is given. Therefore, the player can recognize that the probable change state is given during the big hit game.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 when the jackpots ZC, ZG, and ZH, which are difficult for the game granting ball to enter the privilege granting port 26, are given (when the privilege notification command is issued). In the case where the game ball is input, the effect display device is configured to execute an incoming ball notification effect for notifying that a game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26 during a jackpot game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege providing port 26. 13 is controlled. In other words, when the normal hitting game (big hit ZC, ZG, ZH) is awarded and the game ball enters the privilege awarding port 26, the effect control CPU 31a transmits the game to the privilege awarding port 26 during the normal hitting game. Notify that the ball has entered. Then, the effect control CPU 31a serves as effect control means for causing the effect display device 13 as an effect executing means to execute a game effect relating to the variable game based on the lottery result of the winning lottery.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 10B, the effect display device 13 notifies that a game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26 during the big hit game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege providing port 26. The character image G2 is displayed together with the character image G1. For this reason, the player can recognize that a game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26 during the jackpot game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege providing port 26.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a controls the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH in which the first large winning opening 19 and the second large winning opening 22 have the same opening / closing mode as the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH in which it is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege giving opening 26. In the case where ZB, ZE, and ZF are awarded, when the game ball enters the privilege awarding port 26 when the second special winning opening 22 is short-opened (opened for 3 seconds), the ball is entered as described above. The effect display device 13 is controlled so as to execute the notification effect. More specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines that, when the jackpots ZB, ZE, and ZF are awarded, the game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 before the second big winning port 22 is opened for 22 seconds. , The effect display device 13 is controlled so as to execute the incoming ball notification effect.

  For this reason, during the big hit game in which the game ball does not easily enter the privilege providing port 26, a ball entry notification effect for notifying that the game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26 is executed, and thereby the second big winning port. There is no need to recognize that the big hits ZB, ZE, and ZF for long opening of the 22 are provided. Also, even when the big hits ZB, ZE, and ZF in which the second big winning opening 22 is long opened are given, the big hits ZC, ZG, and ZH are given to the privilege giving opening 26 so that the game ball is difficult to enter. In the same way as when the game ball is hit into the privilege providing port 26 during the big hit game in which it is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege providing port 26, the player can be pleased.

As described above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) What is a big hit game (special hit game) in which game balls can easily enter the privilege granting port 26 and a big hit game (normal hit game) in which game balls cannot easily enter the privilege granting port 26? Interestingness can be improved as to what kind of big hit game is given. Then, for any big hit game, the effect mode is determined based on the presence or absence of a game ball in the privilege provision port 26. For this reason, attention can be paid to whether or not to enter the ball. Further, it is possible to easily recognize whether or not the probable change state is given.

  Furthermore, when a big hit game (normal hit game) in which game balls are difficult to enter into the privilege providing port 26 is provided, when a game ball enters the privilege providing port 26, the bonus providing port is provided by a ball entry notification effect. It is notified that the game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 during the jackpot game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the ball 26. For this reason, if a big hit game in which a game ball is difficult to enter is provided to the privilege provision port 26 and the player is discouraged after being discouraged, the fact is notified to the player without fail. And surprise the player. Further, since the player is once discouraged, the player can be more pleased than when the player enters the bonus hit game in a jackpot game in which the player can easily enter the bonus ball. As described above, even when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26, the effect can be changed by changing the effect depending on the situation where the game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 (regular hit game or special hit game). The game can be changed, and the player is not bored.

  (2) Since the privilege provision port 26 is disposed in the discharge passage 25, the presence or absence of a ball is not easily visually recognized. Furthermore, the moment when the game ball enters the second special winning opening 22 (and the privilege granting opening 26) is a short time and is easily overlooked. Therefore, the effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute a privilege notification effect of notifying that a probable change state is provided when a game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 during a big hit game. By this privilege notification effect, it is possible to make the player aware that a certain change state is given.

  (3) The main control CPU 30a performs a special effect mode when a game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 during a jackpot game (big hits ZC, ZG, ZH) in which it is difficult to enter the game ball into the privilege providing port 26. Is determined. For this reason, even after a big hit game (big hits ZC, ZG, ZH) in which it is difficult for game balls to enter the privilege granting port 26, it is possible to give the player a sense of superiority and execute the game. In addition, even when a big hit game (big hits ZC, ZG, ZH) that makes it difficult for game balls to enter the privilege giving port 26 is given, the third mode, which is a special effect mode that is hard to be determined, is determined. It can keep you entertained and keep it interesting.

  (4) In the big hit games (big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb) in which it is easy for game balls to enter the privilege giving port 26, the content of the effect of the big hit game is partially provided. There are special hit games (big hits ZB, ZE, ZF) which are similar to the big hit games (big hits ZC, ZG, ZH) which make it difficult to enter the game ball. Thereby, when the big hits ZB, ZE, and ZF are given, it is assumed that the big hit game in which it is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege giving port 26 is given halfway, and the game ball is given to the privilege giving port 26 halfway. The player can be surprised to recognize that it was a jackpot game that is easy to enter the ball. In addition, the situation when a game ball is made to enter the privilege provision port 26 can be changed, and a change can be given to the game.

  (5) Further, in the case where the jackpots ZB, ZE, and ZF are awarded, when the second large winning opening 22 is short-opened (opened for 3 seconds), the effect control CPU 31a sets the second large winning opening 22 and the privilege. When a game ball enters the award port 26, an effect display is performed so that a ball-informing effect is executed in the same manner as when a jackpot game in which it is difficult to enter a game ball into the award port 26 is provided. The device 13 is controlled. This makes it impossible to determine whether a special hit game (big hit ZB, ZE, ZF) is given based on the presence or absence of the incoming ball notification effect. In addition, since it is notified in the same manner as a jackpot game in which it is difficult for game balls to enter the privilege granting port 26, it is possible to think that the privilege has been granted by the player himself, and the player can be pleased.

The above embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 30a is the effect mode determining means for determining the effect mode. However, the effect control CPU 31a may be the effect mode determining means for determining the effect mode. In this case, the distribution of the variation pattern cannot be made different for each effect mode. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 30a transmits various information (for example, presence or absence of a game ball to the privilege provision port 26 and the type of the big hit game) necessary for determining the effect mode to the effect control board 31 ( It is necessary to notify the effect control CPU 31a).

  In the above embodiment, in the big hit game in which the game ball does not easily enter the privilege granting opening 26, the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 22 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the second special winning opening 22 may be opened for only 0.04 seconds. Similarly, in a big hit game in which a game ball easily enters the privilege granting opening 26, the opening and closing mode of the second big winning opening 22 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the second special winning opening 22 may be opened for 0.04 seconds, closed for 8 seconds, and then opened for 25 seconds.

In the above-described embodiment, after the big hit game is completed, the shortened state (increased ball entry rate state) is always given, but it may not be given.
In the above embodiment, the first special winning opening 19 and the second special winning opening 22 are provided as the special winning opening, but only the second special winning opening 22 may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the privilege provision port 26 is provided inside the discharge passage 25, but may be provided inside the second special winning port 22. In this case, the second special winning opening 22 is provided with an outlet for discharging game balls to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 separately from the privilege providing port 26, and the opening and closing of the privilege providing port 26 in an open state and a closed state. It is necessary to provide a shutter. Then, it is necessary to open and close the opening / closing shutter at a predetermined timing. Thereby, it is possible to visually recognize whether a game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26.

  In the above embodiment, the privilege providing port 26 may be arranged so that the place where the game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 can be visually recognized. For example, the privilege provision port 26 may be provided on the game board YB. In this case, an opening / closing shutter that opens and closes the privilege providing port 26 is provided, and is opened and closed at a predetermined timing during the big hit game. Thereby, it is possible to visually recognize whether a game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26.

In the present embodiment, various components such as game nails and the second large winning opening 22 are arranged so that a part of the gaming ball flowing down the second flowing path Y can enter the second large winning opening 22. However, various constituent members may be arranged so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow path X can enter the second large winning opening 22. Further, the shapes of the various constituent members may be changed so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow path X can enter the second large winning opening 22. Alternatively, various constituent members such as game nails and the second large winning opening 22 are arranged so that the ball can enter the second large winning opening 22 regardless of which of the first flowing route X and the second flowing route Y flows down. It may be. The shape of the various constituent members may be changed so that the ball can enter the second special winning opening 22 regardless of whether the first flow path X or the second flow path Y flows.

  In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the operation gate 29 may be arbitrarily changed. In this embodiment, various components such as the game nail and the operation gate 29 are arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the second flow path Y can enter (pass) the operation gate 29. Various constituent members may be arranged so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow path X can enter (pass) the operation gate 29. Further, the shapes of various constituent members may be changed so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow path X can enter (pass) the operation gate 29. Alternatively, various constituent members such as a game nail and the operation gate 29 are arranged so that the ball can enter (pass) the operation gate 29 regardless of the flow of the first flow path X or the second flow path Y. Is also good. The shape of the various constituent members may be changed so that the ball can enter (pass) the operation gate 29 regardless of whether it flows down the first downflow path X or the second downflow path Y. Further, the number of operation gates 29 may be increased. For example, an operation gate 29 in which a part of game balls flowing down the first flow path X is arranged so as to be able to enter (pass), and a part of game balls flowing down the second flow path Y is allowed to enter (pass). An actuating gate 29 that can be arranged may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the type and content of the opening and closing pattern of the opening and closing blade 18 in the normal state may be arbitrarily changed. Similarly, the type and content of the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing blade 18 during the shortened state may be arbitrarily changed. The variation time (production time) of the general-purpose game in the normal state is one type, but a plurality of types may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing wings 18, the fluctuation time of the general-purpose game, the winning probability of the general-purpose game, and the production time of the fluctuation game are all changed during the short-range state. Or you may change only two or more.

  In the above embodiment, the content of the big hit game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the number of round games, the opening / closing pattern of the first big winning port 19 and the second big winning port 22 in each round game, the opening / closing pattern of the privilege giving port 26, the number of prize balls that can be expected to be acquired, the total opening time, and the big hit game May be changed arbitrarily.

  In the above-described embodiment, the bonus notification effect is executed when the probable change state is given. However, the effect notification effect may not be executed. Further, in the case of executing the privilege notification effect, the effect content and the execution timing may be arbitrarily changed.

  In the above embodiment, the first starting winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 16 are provided so that the first changing game and the second changing game can be executed, but only the first starting winning opening 14 is provided. Alternatively, only the first fluctuating game may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, when the big hits ZB, ZE, and ZF are awarded, the effect control CPU 31a sets the second big winning opening 22 and the second big winning opening 22 when the second big winning opening 22 is short-opened (opened for 3 seconds). When a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26, a ball entry notification effect is executed in the same manner as when a jackpot game that makes it difficult to enter the game ball into the privilege provision port 26 is provided. It is not necessary to execute.

  In the above embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a inserts a game ball into the privilege granting port 26 when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 during a jackpot game in which the game ball is likely to enter the privilege granting port 26. During the big hit game that is easy to make a ball hit, a special-time ball entry notification effect for notifying that the game ball has entered the privilege providing port 26 may be executed. At that time, it is possible to make the content of the effect different from that of the normal ball entry notification effect in which it is notified that a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 during a big hit game in which the game ball does not easily enter the privilege granting port 26. preferable.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, the privilege given when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 is that a certain change state is given, but other benefits may be given. For example, it may be a privilege that the number of changes is increased, or a privilege that a new big hit game is given.

  In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 30a sets the special effect mode as the effect mode when the game ball enters the privilege providing port 26 during the normal hit game in which it is difficult to enter the game ball into the privilege providing port 26. Third mode) was determined. As another example, the main control CPU 30a sets the same effect mode as in the case of a special hit game when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 during a normal hit game in which it is difficult to enter the game ball into the privilege granting port 26. (First mode) may be determined.

  -In the said embodiment, you may arbitrarily change the production | presentation mode of an incoming-ball alert | reporting effect. For example, a command for notifying that a ball has been entered may be output. Further, a sound output or a lamp may be caused to emit light.

  In the above embodiment, special hit games (small hits ZB, big hits ZE, big hits ZF) are provided in which the content of the jackpot games is the same as the normal hit games (big hits ZC, big hits ZG, big hits ZH) up to the middle. You don't have to.

  In the above embodiment, the number of times of change may be arbitrarily changed. Further, the number of times of changing the number of times of changing the state after the end of the big hit game is changed depending on the presence or absence of a game ball in the privilege providing port 26, but may be the same.

In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 30a changes the effect mode determined according to whether or not a game ball enters the privilege provision port 26, but may determine the same effect mode.
Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiment and other examples will be additionally described below.

  (B) In the gaming machine, the effect control means may be arranged such that, during the special hitting game, while the hitting game effect is executed in the same effecting mode as the normal hitting game, a game ball is sent to the privilege granting port.
