Description

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

  When a game ball enters the starting port, a random value for judging the success or failure is extracted, a lottery is performed based on the random number, and the symbol display starts changing on the symbol display device. In addition, the result of the lottery is notified by confirming and displaying the symbol on the symbol display device, and if the lottery result is a hit, a big winning opening is opened to execute a big hit game which is advantageous to the player. The so-called “digipachi” type models are mainstream.

  Also, in the conventional pachinko machine, there is a type called a blender that combines a digital pachinko and a winged-type pachinko machine, and this mixer has a gaming configuration in which a big hit is determined by a pattern, such as the digital pachinko type. A game structure called a "wing", in which a big hit occurs when a game ball enters a specific area provided inside the accessory opened under a predetermined condition, and two game structures.

  Such a mixer makes a decision as to whether or not a game ball has entered the symbol starting port, and when the result of the decision as to whether or not the hit is a big hit, the condition device and the continuous action device for actors are operated to operate the digital punch. A similar big hit game is performed, and when the result of the hit determination is a small hit, a small hit game in which only the condition device is operated to open the big winning port for a short time is performed. When the game ball that has entered the special winning opening due to the small hitting game enters a specific area provided in the special winning opening, the continuous actuation device for actors is activated, and a big hit game similar to a digi-pachi is started. Become.

  Further, as a specific game content of such a mixing machine, in a normal state, a determination is made as to whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port. After the big hit game is over, the normal electric accessory serving as the second starting port is set to the extended open state where the frequent operation is performed, and when the second starting port enters the ball, the small hitting winning probability is set to be high, so that the normal At the time of a game, a game aiming at a symbol hit, which is the playability of a digital crack, can be enjoyed with a single gaming machine, at the time of opening the extension function, a game aiming at a hit of a role, which is the playability of a feather. I have. <Patent Document 1>

Said least first Japanese view start hole even before SL in the first game region, wherein with least be provided before Symbol variable winning devices in the second game region, the first game region the Hiroshizu actuating port And provided in the second game area respectively,
The second special figure starting port has a higher probability of determining the small hit than the first special figure starting port, and the content of the big hit game or the content of the extended open state is set advantageously.
Includes a performance display device,該演out display equipment is a configuration having an effect to expected character object jackpot,
The effect of expecting the special hit jackpot has different display contents depending on whether it is a small hit caused by entering the first special figure starting port or a small hit game in at least the normal game state. It is a ball and ball game machine characterized by the above.

  A configuration in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entry of a game ball into the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port is preferable, and it is determined whether or not a big hit is to be generated. In addition to the big hit determination random number, any random number used to determine the type of the symbol according to the lottery result of the big hit determination random number and the variable display time until the symbol is derived and displayed may be used. A big hit, a small hit, or a lost symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, or a variation pattern determination random number may be used, and a configuration may be adopted in which there are random numbers to be used and random numbers not to be used according to the result of the determination of success / failure. Further, the timing of extracting the random value is not limited to the time when the game ball enters the starting port, but may be the time when the correctness determination is performed at the start of the change of the symbol. Similarly, a configuration is preferable in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entry of game balls into the first general-purpose operating port and the second general-purpose operating port.

  At the time of entering the first general-purpose operating port and the second general-purpose operating port, a random number for determining whether or not the variable winning device is activated (general-purpose success / failure determination), a random number for determining a winning symbol, and a normal symbol May be used as a random value for determining the fluctuation time. Further, the operation content of the variable prize device may be determined based on the determined winning symbol, or the operation content of the variable prize device may be determined according to the value of a random number for determining whether or not a win has occurred ( Operation determining means).

  It is preferable that the game ball that has entered the special winning opening at the time of the small hit game has a predetermined probability of entering the specific area. For example, a distribution device is provided in the special winning opening, and the game ball is distributed to different routes. The configuration inside the accessory is suitable.

  In the case of a general pachinko game machine having a center case provided with an effect display device substantially at the center of the game area, "a first game area in which a game ball fired with a firing intensity lower than a predetermined firing intensity flows down" Corresponds to the range in which the game ball flows down from the left side of the center case, and the "second game area in which the game ball fired with a firing intensity equal to or higher than the predetermined firing intensity flows down" is where the game ball flows from the right side of the center case. The falling range corresponds to this.

  The first starting port is arranged at a position where game balls flowing down the first game area can enter the ball, and the variable winning device serving as the second starting port is a position where game balls flowing down the second game area can enter the ball. In the case where the first special symbol is changed and the case where the second special symbol is changed, it is necessary to change the firing intensity between the first game area and the second game area to separate game balls. Configuration.

  The case where the second opening (opening of the variable winning device advantageous to the player) is performed based on the normal symbol winning, the case where the small hitting game is performed based on the small winning winning of the first special symbol, 1 The effect of prompting entry to a specific area on the effect symbol display device when the jackpot game is performed based on the winning of the special symbol with the predetermined jackpot symbol is a common expectation for the player. The effect may be the same as the effect display, and more specifically, it may be a common effect content that notifies that it is a chance to win a special hit.

  In the case of "the big hit game is performed based on the winning with the predetermined big hit symbol of the first special symbol", for example, it is almost impossible to obtain the prize ball at the big winning opening, but the number of times with a short time reduction is given. If it is provided so that a chance to suddenly hit the jackpot at the time of the normal game can be given several times, the second opening is performed based on the winning of the normal symbol as a game feeling Is performed a plurality of times (depending on the number of times saved).

  According to the ball game machine of claim 1, while giving a chance to win a jackpot in both the symbol jackpot and the special jackpot from the time of the normal game, for example, the jackpot of the predetermined jackpot symbol of the first special symbol Although it is not possible to expect many jackpots, it is possible to expect a special jackpot of the first special symbol by shifting to a time saving state in which the special jackpot can be expected after the jackpot game ends, and The winning of the first special symbol having a chance of a big hit and the winning of the normal symbol performing the second opening can both generate the expectation of the special hit at the time of the winning. However, the fluctuation period of the second special symbol that can be expected is different between the jackpot of the predetermined special jackpot symbol of the first special symbol and the second open symbol of the ordinary symbol. A game can be played while expecting a big hit of a predetermined big hit symbol of a long first special symbol.

  In addition, by performing the same effect on three lottery results of different types and triggers in a normal symbol hit, a small hit of a first special symbol, and a big hit of a predetermined big hit symbol of the first special symbol, In any of the lottery situations, a game can be played while expecting the occurrence of a jackpot.

Needless to say, this is possible.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 has a substantially circular game area surrounded by well-known guide rails 2a and 2b, and a first game area 3a (book It is divided into a first game area of the present invention) and a second game area 3b (corresponding to the second game area of the present invention). The left side of the center case 5 is the first game area 3a, and the right side is the second game area. The game ball that has reached the area A shown in FIG. 4A rolls on the second game area guiding path 101, reaches the second game area 3b (the right side of the center case 5), and does not reach the area A. Flows down the first game area 3a (left side of the center case 5). A large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b.

  The center case 5 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp passage, a stage, and a window on which the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (corresponding to the effect symbol display device of the present invention) faces, similarly to the known case. On the left side of the center case 5, a first normal symbol operation gate 15 (corresponding to a first general operation port of the present invention) is disposed, and below the first normal operation port 11 (first special figure start of the present invention). Mouth), and three general winning openings 31 are provided on the left side of the first starting opening 11. The general winning opening 31 is a normal winning opening in which the winning rate does not change.

  In the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, a second ordinary symbol operation gate 17 (corresponding to a second ordinary symbol operation port of the present invention) is arranged. A first big winning opening 14 is provided which is integrated with the right side of the center case 5 and one of the blades opens and closes. Below the first big winning opening 14, an ordinary electric accessory 16 (corresponding to the variable winning device of the present invention) is arranged, and when the ordinary electric accessory 16 is activated, the second starting port 12 (the second present invention) is activated. (Equivalent to a special map starting port).

(Corresponding to a special winning opening provided with a specific area through which a game ball can enter). The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. The first special winning opening 14 operates at the time of the big hit game (including the big hit game after the occurrence of the special hit big hit), and the second big winning opening 91 operates at the time of the small hit game.

  The first starting port 11 is configured such that game balls flowing down the second game area 3b are difficult to enter due to the molded shapes of the game nails and the center case 5 that are implanted. As a result, only the game balls that have flowed down the first game area 3a can enter the first starting port 11 substantially. Also, for the second ordinary symbol operation gate 17, the first special winning opening 14, the second starting opening 12, and the second special winning opening 91, only the game ball flowing down the second game area 3b enters for the same reason. It is possible.

  Below the second game area 3b, a normal symbol display device 7 including a plurality of LEDs, a normal symbol holding number display device 8, a first special symbol display device 9 including a 7-segment display device, and a second special symbol display. A device 10, a first special symbol reservation number display device 18 including a plurality of LEDs, and a second special symbol reservation number display device 19 including one LED are arranged. It becomes difficult for the player to reliably recognize the display contents of the various display devices arranged at this position, and the player who is playing the game pays attention to the display contents of the effect symbol display device 6 arranged at the center of the game board. Will be done.

  By configuring the game board 1 as described above, when a game flow is caused to flow down to the first game area 3a, a game ball enters the first ordinary symbol operation gate 15 (see the first ordinary symbol operation switch 15a (see FIG. 3). ) Detects a game ball), a normal symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a general symbol) starts to fluctuate and is displayed on the normal symbol display device 7, and according to a mode of the general symbol stopped after a predetermined time, the normal symbol combination described later. When the solenoid ball 12b (see FIG. 3) is driven and a game ball enters the first starting port 11 (the first starting port switch 11a (see FIG. 3) detects a game ball), the first special symbol display device 9 displays. The first special symbol (corresponding to the first special symbol of the present invention) starts to change and stops after a predetermined time.

  When the game flow is caused to flow down to the second game area 3b, the game ball having flowed down the second game area 3b enters the second ordinary symbol operation gate 17 (the second ordinary symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 3) changes the game ball). Is detected), the ordinary symbol starts to fluctuate on the ordinary symbol display device 7 in the same manner as when the ball enters the first ordinary symbol operation gate 15, and will be described later according to the mode of the ordinary symbol stopped after a predetermined time. The ordinary electric solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) is driven. When the ordinary electric combination solenoid 12b is driven, the door portion of the ordinary electric combination 16 is opened almost synchronously, and the ball enters the second starting port 12 (detection of the second starting port switch 12a (see FIG. 3)). Is configured to be possible. When a game ball enters the second starting port 12, the second special symbol (corresponding to the second special symbol of the present invention) starts to fluctuate on the second special symbol display device 10 and stops after a predetermined time.

  While the first special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a first special symbol) and the second special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a second special symbol) fluctuate, each special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a special symbol) is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. ) Is displayed in association with the variation of the above. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not change at the same time, and priority is given to the change (judgment) of the second special symbol irrespective of the order of entering the first starting port and the second starting port. To implement. Specifically, when there is a first special symbol on-hold memory, the change of the second special symbol stops, and there is no second special symbol on-hold memory. To start.

  The first special winning opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 3) or the second special winning opening solenoid 91b, which will be described later, is driven according to the mode in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are confirmed and displayed. When the first special winning opening solenoid 14b is driven (at the time of a big hit game), the door member of the first special winning opening 14 is opened almost synchronously, and a game ball enters the first special winning opening 14 (first count). When the switch 14a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball) and the second big winning opening solenoid 91b is driven (during small hitting game), the door member of the second big winning opening 91 is opened almost in synchronization. It is configured such that game balls can enter the second special winning opening 91 (the second count switch 91a (see FIG. 3) detects game balls).

  Since the second starting port 12, the first special winning port 14, and the second special winning port 91 composed of the ordinary electric accessory 16 are arranged in the second gaming area 3b (the right side of the center case 5), the gaming state is changed. When shifting to the open extended game state, shifting to the big hit game, shifting to the small hit game, the firing handle is adjusted so that all of the fired game balls reach the second game area 3b. .

When the opening extension function is not activated, the probability of 94/100 is the first opening once every 0.2 seconds. (Corresponding to the first opening of the present invention), and the second opening (corresponding to the second opening of the present invention) is performed once every 6.0 seconds with a probability of 1/100. Therefore, even when the opening extension function is not operated, when the second opening is performed with a probability of 1/100, it is possible to easily cause the ordinary electric accessory 16 to enter a game ball.

  When the opening extension function is activated, the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to perform the opening operation once for 6.0 seconds for one hit of the ordinary symbol. Further, the variation patterns (variation times) of the first and second special symbols in the game state (open extension state) in which the opening extension function operates are the variation pattern selection table used in the game state when the opening extension function is not activated. The selection is made using a variation pattern selection table set so that the average variation time is shorter than the average variation time. As a result, the number of times the special symbol changes per unit time when the opening extension function is activated is configured to be greater than when the opening extension function is not activated (time saving state). It operates at the same time as the start and end.

  When the opening extension function is operated, the time saving function for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time is increased) is also operated. Specifically, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the normal state when the opening extension function is not operated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. I have. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of times the normal symbol fluctuates per unit time is increased, and the trigger for operating the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. Therefore, the ball entry rate per unit time to the ordinary electric accessory increases, and the number of times the second special symbol fluctuates increases.

  The jackpot probability of the pachinko machine in the present embodiment is 1/199, which is common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and does not have the probability variation function related to the special figure right / wrong judgment. The small hit probability is 1/100 for the first special figure and 198/199 for the second special figure. If the second special figure fluctuates (performs the special figure success / failure judgment described later), the small hit is won with a high probability. . When the first special map wins a small hit, the second special winning opening 91 performs an opening operation once for 1.0 second, and when the second special map wins a small hit, the second special winning opening 91 sets to 0. One open operation for 25 seconds is performed.

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

  If the first special map is a big hit with a pattern of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (5/10 ratio), a big hit game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens four rounds (a maximum of 29.0 seconds per round) Release or 9 counts). In this case, the game does not shift to the time reduction state (open extended state) after the end of the big hit game (four rounds, time reduction no symbol).

  If the first special map is a big hit with a pattern of 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), a big hit game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds (up to 29.0 seconds per round) After the jackpot game is over, the special figure is in a time-saving state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds, time reduction of 99 times).

  If the second special figure is a big hit with a pattern of 0, 4, 8 (3/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 is a big hit game in which four rounds are opened (a maximum of 29.0 seconds per round or 9 Count). In this case, the game does not shift to the time reduction state (open extended state) after the end of the big hit game (four rounds, time reduction no symbol).

  If the first special map is a big hit with a pattern of 1,2,3,5,6,7,9 (7/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 will open 15 rounds of big hit game (1 round maximum) (29.0 seconds open or 9 counts) is executed, and after the big hit game is completed, the special figure is in a time-saving state (open extended state) until the special figure fluctuates 99 times (a pattern of 15 rounds, 99 times in a short time). Therefore, when the second special figure has a symbol big hit, the state shifts to the extended open state after the big hit game ends at a higher rate than the first special figure.

  When the first special figure or the second special figure has a small hit (3/10 ratio) with symbols A, E, and I, the game ball that has won the second big winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94. When the special hit jackpot occurs, the first big winning opening 14 performs a jackpot game in which four rounds are opened (opening of 29.0 seconds per round at maximum or 9 counts). In this case, the game does not shift to the time reduction state (open extended state) after the end of the big hit game (four rounds, time reduction no symbol).

  Gaming balls which won the second big winning opening 91 when the first special figure or the second special figure was a small hit (7/10 ratio) with the pattern of B, C, D, F, G, H, J. When the ball hits the specific area 94 and a special hit jackpot occurs, the first big winning opening 14 performs a jackpot game (opening of 29.0 seconds or 9 counts per round at maximum) for opening 16 rounds. After the end, the special figure will be in a time-saving state (open extended state) until it fluctuates 99 times (symbol for 16 rounds, 99 times in time).

  In this embodiment, the value of the jackpot game is the same regardless of whether the jackpot hit occurs from the small hit in either the first special map or the second special map. It is conceivable that the one where the jackpot hits from the hit gives a larger number of rounds on average, or increases the rate at which the time saving state is given, to make the setting more advantageous to the player. In this way, when a small hit game is generated according to the first special figure while hoping that the symbols to be a big hit are aligned during a normal game, it becomes a chance to obtain an advantageous big hit game, which is highly expected. It can be a game. Of course, it is also conceivable to make the setting disadvantageous in the opposite case. In that case, the main feature is to align the big hits at the time of the normal game, and the small hits due to the small hits of the first special map are provided as subordinates. You can also. The lower the value, the higher the probability of small hits and the higher the winning rate of the specific area 94 than in the present embodiment.

  By setting the operation content to the above content, in the normal game (non-open extended state), the game ball is caused to flow down to the first game area 3a, thereby the first special figure based on the ball entering the first starting port 11 is displayed. The game progresses mainly by lottery, and when the symbol big hit of the first special figure occurs, the game ball flows down to the second game area 3b if it shifts to the extended open state (time saving state) after the big hit game with a probability of 50%. The lottery of the second special figure is the main game, and after the shift, the extended open state (time saving state) is continued with a probability of 70%.

  In the normal game (non-open extended state), the small hit of the first special figure occurs at 1/100, and the small hit of the second special figure has a normal symbol of 1/100 and the second open (so-called long open). ) Occurs with a probability of 198/199, so it occurs substantially at about 1/100 (normal pattern). Therefore, a chance of a jackpot hit occurs at a probability of 1/100 in both the first special map and the ordinary map, but the winning rate of the specific area 94 in the small hit game is set higher in the small hit in the first special map. Therefore, it is configured to have an interest in which symbol (first special figure or ordinary figure) is used to obtain the 1/100 winning. Of course, it is conceivable to make the small hit probability of the first special figure and the probability of the second opening of the ordinary symbol different.

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

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination processing is performed by determining whether the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the processing executed by the microcomputer shifts to this processing, the normal processing is executed. It is for determining whether or not it is OK. As a case where the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, a runaway of the microcomputer due to noise or the like can be considered when the power is turned on. However, the runaway of the microcomputer can be considered to be almost non-existent due to the improvement of the technology in recent years. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If a negative determination is made in S10, that is, if it is determined that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt (S10: no), initialization (for example, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol, etc.) Is written to the work area (S15), and the process proceeds to a residual process (initial random number update process (S80)).

  If an affirmative determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), the initial value random number update processing (S20), the jackpot determination random number update processing (S25), the jackpot symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), and the jackpot symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), variation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ) Is performed.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation processing (S60), winning in the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, winning in the first winning opening 14, winning in the second winning opening 91, winning in the general winning opening 31, and the first winning opening 31 The 1st normal symbol operation gate 15, the 2nd normal symbol operation gate 17, confirmation of entering the specific area 94, and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed. . The winning (ball entry) confirmation process (start winning process) for each starting port and operating port will be described later with reference to FIG.

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

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

  Hereafter, the holding memory stored when a game ball enters the first starting port 11 is a first holding memory, and the holding memory stored when a game ball enters the second starting port 12 is a second holding memory. The storage, which is stored when the game ball passes through the first normal symbol starting gate 15 and the second normal symbol starting gate 17, will be described as a general symbol holding memory. In this embodiment, the upper limit number of the first reserved storage is four, the upper limit number of the second reserved storage is one, and the upper limit number of the general reserved storage is four.

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

  Subsequent to S110, a pre-read determination of the stored first hold storage is performed (S115). Specifically, it is checked whether or not the value of the random number for jackpot determination is a value that causes a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot value, the type of the jackpot symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, it is checked whether the value is a value that causes a small hit, and if the big hit value is a small hit value, the type of the small hit symbol is checked. If the losing is neither a big hit nor a small hit, the type of the losing symbol is confirmed (look-ahead determining means).

  Subsequently, a first look-ahead determination command is generated based on the look-ahead determination result in S115, transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110. The number instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). In the present embodiment, the first pre-reading determination command and the first hold number instruction command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as individual commands. A configuration for transmitting to the integrated control device 83 is also conceivable.

  Subsequent to the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second starting port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If the determination is negative (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if the determination is affirmative (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of second pending storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 1). (S135). If a negative determination is made (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if an affirmative determination is made (S135: yes), various random numbers such as a success / failure random number (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number 1 and 2, a small hit symbol determination Random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers, etc.), and stores them in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved storages of the main controller 80 as a second reserved storage. One is added to the hold storage counter (S140), and a pre-read determination of the stored second hold storage is performed in the same manner as in S115 (S145). In the present embodiment, since the upper limit number of the second pending storage is set to one, it may be configured such that only the presence / absence of the second pending storage is confirmed and the storage is possible when the second pending storage is not present.

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

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

  Upon receiving the first and second reserved storage number instruction commands, the sub-integrated control device 83 outputs an instruction signal for changing each reserved storage number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the retained storage number indicated by the received command. It is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the number of reserved symbols is not normally displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, but may be displayed in response to the reception of a command for indicating the number of reserved symbols to be stored. The configuration may be such that the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. In addition, a configuration is also conceivable in which a pre-reading determination of a general figure is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control device. As a result, it is possible to execute a pre-reading notice for expecting the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 (the second starting port 12).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, an explanation will be given of a general figure approval / disapproval determination process 1 executed by the main control device 80 in the first embodiment. This process is a process corresponding to the general figure right / wrong determination of the present invention. When the present process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is operating (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process proceeds to the later-described general electric game process (1). If the determination is negative (S200: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S205). If not (S205: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed symbol of the normal symbol is being displayed. (S210) If the final display is not being performed (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is a general-purpose hold storage (S215). If the negative determination is made (S215: no), the process proceeds to the general-purpose game process.

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

  Subsequently, the random number value for hit determination in the general figure hold storage, which is the target of the general figure right / wrong determination, is compared with a preset hit / fail determination table (95/100), and the random number value to be determined is determined as the hit / fail determination table. Are compared with each other to determine whether they match (S230).

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

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

  The time-saving flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is 1, the fluctuation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is reduced, and the time-saving state in which the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is activated ( Main controller 80 determines that the state is an open extension state, and if the value is 0, it is a non-time saving state (non-open extension state).

  If a negative determination is made in S240, that is, if the comparison result is out of order (S240: no), reference is made to the time saving flag (S250), and a general-purpose variation pattern selection process for outlier variation is performed (S255), and the selected outlier symbol and variation pattern are selected. Is performed to start the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display device 7 (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  If the determination in S205 is affirmative, that is, if the ordinary symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 8, and it is determined whether or not the variation time of the ordinary symbol (based on the variation pattern selected in S255) has elapsed. (S300). If the determination is negative (S300: no), the process proceeds to the general game process, and if the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), the general symbol that controls the normal symbol display device 7 to determine and display the ordinary symbol that is the result of determining whether or not the general symbol is accepted. A fixed symbol display process is performed (S305).

  Subsequent to S305, it is determined whether or not the determined and displayed ordinary symbol is a hit symbol (S310). If the determination is negative (S310: no), the process proceeds to the general electric game process. If the determination is affirmative (S310: yes), the time reduction flag is set. Is 0 or not, that is, it is determined whether or not the game is in a normal state (S315). If a negative determination is made (S315: no), the process proceeds to the general electric game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S315: yes), the final display is performed as a winning symbol. It is determined whether or not the type of the symbol is a hit symbol for performing the second opening (S320). If the determination is negative (S320: no), the process proceeds to the general electric game process. An instruction signal for displaying a “V challenge effect” (corresponding to an effect prompting entry into a specific area of the present invention) to notify that there is a certain signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S325), and the process proceeds to the general electric game process. To. The processing of the sub-integrated control device 83 when the V challenge effect display instruction command is received and the “V challenge effect” actually displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described later with reference to the drawings.

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

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

  Upon receiving the V challenge effect display instruction command, the sub-integrated control device 83 expects a big hit at which the first big winning opening 14 operates when the normal symbol in the normal state hits with a predetermined hit symbol (second open symbol). The effect that makes it happen. At this point, although it is necessary to go through a plurality of stages, it can be said that the expectation of the occurrence of the big hit (specifically, the big hit from the second special figure small hit) suddenly increases from the normal state.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a general electric game process 1 executed by the main control device 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric accessory which is performed based on the hit determination in the general figure hit determination process (1), and is a process including the operation determining means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in the opening operation (S400). If it is not in operation (S400: no), the ordinary symbol hits and the symbol is confirmed and displayed. It is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set (S410). If the determination is negative (S410: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S410: yes), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 (S415). If the determination is affirmative (S415: yes). It is determined whether or not the hit symbol displayed for confirmation is a symbol for performing the first release (short release) (S420). If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the normal electric accessory 16 is first opened (0. (S425), and the process returns to step S425. If the determination in S420 is negative (S420: no), the operation in which the ordinary electric accessory 16 performs the second opening (once for 6.0 seconds) is started. Perform processing (S4 0) to return. If a negative determination is made in S415, that is, if the opening extension function is operating in the time saving state (S415: no), the operation starts in which the ordinary electric accessory 16 performs the opening operation (5.0 seconds once) in the opening extension state. The process is performed (S435) and the process returns.

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

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the special figure right / wrong determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This processing is a determination of whether the first hold storage and the second hold storage are correct or not, and a change display time selection of the first special symbol or the second special symbol according to the result of the determination of the corresponding determination, a fixed symbol selection, a content setting of a big hit game, This is processing for setting the game state after the big hit game is completed, and includes the small hit determination means of the present invention.

  When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is operating, that is, whether or not the special winning opening is operating (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative (S500: no), the process returns. It is determined whether the first or second special figure is changing (S505), and if it is not changing (505: no), it is determined whether the fixed symbol of the first or second special figure is being displayed. (S510), if the final display is not being performed (S510: no), it is determined whether or not there is the second hold storage (S515). If the determination is negative (S515: no), it is determined whether or not there is the first hold storage. If the determination is negative (S520: no), the process returns (S520: no), and if the determination is affirmative in S515 or S520 (S515: yes, S520: yes), the process proceeds to S525. According to the determination order of S515 and S520, the second suspension storage preferentially determines the success or failure.

  In S525, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0 (S525). If the determination is negative, that is, if the time reduction state and the open extension state are present (S525: no), the processing during the time reduction state is performed. The description is omitted because the selection table of the variation pattern to be selected differs only in accordance with the prior art and does not differ from the prior art.

  If the determination in S525 is affirmative, that is, if it is in the normal state (S525: yes), the shift processing of the hold storage is performed (S530). Thus, the first or second oldest storage (the oldest time has elapsed since the on-hold storage) is set as an object of the validity determination, and 1 is subtracted from the on-hold storage counter indicating the corresponding on-hold storage.

  In the big hit determination random number comparison process, the big hit determination random number in the hold storage, which is the target of the special figure hit determination, is compared with a predetermined hit determination table, and the value of the big hit determination random number is stored in the hit determination table. Are compared with each other (S535).

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

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

  Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S545 (S555). The mode buffer is a device that stores the contents of the game state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of the hit determination until the end of the big hit game in which the big hit game is set (a probability change flag for setting the game state during the big hit game, a time reduction flag). Needs to be cleared). The mode buffer does not store specific game contents, but stores a value corresponding to the specific game contents.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S545, the opening pattern setting processing of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S560), and the reach of the first or second hold storage as the target of the hit / fail determination is performed. A variation for selecting a variation pattern that is a variation time of a symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 based on the determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number. A pattern selection process is performed (S565).

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

  If S540 makes a negative determination, that is, if a loss is made (S540: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison processing in S535 is a small hit (S580). In the present embodiment, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is set to 1/100, and the second special symbol is set to a high probability of 198/199 (almost every time a small hit is won). If the determination in S580 is affirmative (S580: yes), a small hit symbol is selected based on the gaming state and the random number for determining the small hit symbol (S585), and subsequently, based on the type of the special figure targeted for the winning hand or not. The opening pattern setting process of the second big winning opening 91 is performed (S560), and the above-described variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S565). The information is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that receives this information, and corresponds to the first or second special figure based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. Start the variable display of the rendered effect symbol. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start changing the special symbol.

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

  Next, if a positive determination is made in S505, that is, if the special symbol is being changed (S505: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13 and the special symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S565) has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (S600). If the determination is negative (S600: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S600: yes), a confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 to control the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10. Then, the fixed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is fixedly displayed (S605). The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the confirmation command transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the pre-selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82 generates an effect symbol display device in accordance with the signal. 6 to display the pseudo symbol. Thus, the start and end of the change of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol are at the same timing (synchronized).

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

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in S610, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S610: no), the display setting process of the confirmed symbol (setting of the time for displaying the confirmed symbol) is performed (S650), and the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S655: yes), decrement from the time saving counter (S660), determine whether the time saving counter is 0 (S665), and if affirmative (S665: yes), reduce the time saving. The flag is set to 0 (S670). From S655 to S670, every time the special symbol performs the loss confirmation display according to the determination of success or failure, the time reduction counter for regulating the time reduction (open extension) state is counted, and the game state changes when these counters reach a predetermined value. (The time-saving (open extension) state ends and the state shifts to the normal state (normal open state)).

  Subsequently, if S670 or S655, S665 is a negative determination (S655: no, S665: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed special symbol is a small hit symbol (S675), and if affirmative determination (S675: yes). ), It is determined whether or not it is a small hit of the first special map (S680). If the determination is affirmative (S680: yes), an instruction signal for displaying "V challenge effect" for notifying that it is a chance to win a large hit is issued as a sub signal. It is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S685). The effect display instructed in S685 has the same contents as the effect display instructed to display in S325 of the general figure permission / inhibition determination process 1 described with reference to FIGS.

  At the time of the small hit of the first special figure (when the small hit game is performed based on the small hit winning of the first special symbol), the game ball is launched into the second game area 3b to the second big winning opening 91. Since the winning game ball enters the specific area 94 with a winning probability of about 1/4, the number of steps until the bonus hit occurs is smaller than at the time of S325, and the expectation that the bonus hit occurs will be more. It becomes an imminent sense.

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

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

  Returning to FIG. 12, if the affirmative determination is made in S510, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S510: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14, and it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has elapsed (S700). (S700: no) Return, if affirmative determination (S700: yes), finalized symbol display end processing (S705) is performed, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled to display the special symbol. The confirmation display is terminated, and the sub-integrated control device 83 is instructed to terminate the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol.

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

  In S850, it is determined whether or not a small hit start interval is in progress (S850). If a negative determination is made (S850: no), it is determined whether or not the second special winning opening 91 is being opened (S855). If a negative determination is made (S855: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area 94 is valid (a period during which the accessory continuous operating device operates when a game ball is detected) (S860). If a negative determination is made (S860: no), it is determined whether or not a small hit end effect is being produced (S865). If the determination is affirmative (S865: yes), it is determined whether the small hit end effect end time has elapsed (S870). If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), the operation of the condition device is terminated, the small hit flag is set to 0 (S875), and the routine returns. Also, when S870 makes a negative determination (S870: no), the process returns similarly. If a negative determination is made in S865 (S865: no), a small hit start interval start process is performed (S895), a small hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated controller 83, and the routine returns.

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

  If S855 is affirmative, that is, if the second special winning opening 91 is being opened (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. 17, and it is determined whether or not the number of winnings in the second special winning opening 91 is less than 10 (S900). If the determination is affirmative (S900: yes), it is determined whether the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 has expired (S905). If S905 is affirmative (S905: yes) or S900 is negative (S900: no), the second big winning opening 91 is closed (S910) and the process returns.

  If a negative determination is made in S905 (S905: no), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG. 18, and it is determined whether or not the specific area switch 94a has detected a game ball (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), it is determined whether the specific area activation period has ended (S1015), and if the determination is affirmative (S1015: yes), a small hit end effect process is performed (S1020). In the small hit end effect processing, a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. On the side of the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the small hit end command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82 (contents for notifying that the small hit game has ended without the occurrence of the big hit of the role). Is displayed.

  If S950 is affirmatively determined, that is, if the game ball has entered the specific area 94 (S950: yes), an operation start process of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S955), and whether or not the second special winning opening 91 is open. It is determined (S960). If the determination is affirmative (S960: yes), the second big winning opening 91 closing process is performed (S965).

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

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

  If a positive determination is made in S1055 (S1055: yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has ended (S1085). If a negative determination is made (S1085: no), the process returns. 14 (S1090), and returns.

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

  If S1050 is an affirmative determination (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 20, and it is determined whether or not winning in the first big winning opening 14 satisfies a specified number of 9 (S1100), and if negative, (S1100). : No), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). If the determination is negative (S1105: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1105: yes) or if the determination is affirmative (S1100: no), the closing process of the first winning port 14 is performed (S1110), and the end of the big hit game It is determined whether or not the round has ended (S1115). If the determination is affirmative (S1115: yes), a jackpot end effect process is performed (S1120), and if the determination is negative (S1115: no), the interval process during opening is performed (S1125), and the process returns.

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

  Returning to FIG. 19, if S1060 is an affirmative determination, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S1060: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 21 and it is determined whether or not it is the big hit end effect end time (S1150). (S1150: no) Return. If S1150 is affirmatively determined (S1150: yes), the accessory continuous operation device stop processing (S1155), the condition device operation stop processing (S1160) are performed, and the set mode buffer is referred to (S1165). (S1170, S1175), the mode buffer is cleared (S1180), and the end command and the state designation command indicating the game state after the big hit game are sub-integrated control. It transmits to the device 83 (S1185, S1190), sets the big hit flag to 0 (S1195), and returns.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 22, a description will be given of the processing for receiving the number-of-reservations command executed by the sub integrated control device 83. When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not a hold number instruction command has been received (S1200). If the determination is negative (S1200: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1200: yes), the process returns according to the type of the hold number instruction command received by the first hold number counter or the second hold counter provided in the sub integrated control device 83. The value is incremented by one (S1205), and a reservation number display signal is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1210), and the process returns. The value of the pending number counter is decremented each time a fluctuation instruction command is received in a fluctuation instruction command receiving process described later. Thereby, the same number as the number of pending storages stored in main controller 80 is constantly managed.

  In addition, due to the characteristics of the mixer, if the second special map is provided with the hold storage function, there is a possibility that a small hit corresponding to the hold number may occur even after the time-saving game is over. Since the prize winning rate in the specific area 94 is higher than that of the second special figure, it is preferable that the second special figure does not have a hold storage in order to avoid this. However, in the playability of the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the second opening of the ordinary symbol is performed when the first special figure is displayed in a fluctuating manner, and in that case, there is a possibility that the lottery of the second special figure cannot be performed. is there. In order to avoid this, by providing the function of the second hold storage, it is possible to secure an opportunity for the lottery of the second special map. In addition, in the case where the hold storage function is provided for the above-mentioned purpose, if the hold upper limit number is smaller than that in the first special figure, the number of small hits corresponding to the hold number described above can be reduced. It is possible and suitable.

  Next, the change instruction command receiving process executed by the sub-integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this processing, in response to receiving the fluctuation instruction command based on the processing of S570 from the main control device 80, the effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected, and the effect symbol control device 82 is instructed to perform display control. Processing.

  When the process is started, it is determined whether a change instruction command has been received (S1250). If the determination is negative (S1250: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1250: yes), distribution random numbers are extracted (S1255). Based on the instruction command and the value of the distribution random number extracted in S1255, the effect variation mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from among the effect variation modes provided in the sub-integrated control device 83 (S1260). An instruction signal to start displaying the effect variation mode is transmitted to effect symbol control device 82 (S1265), and the process returns.

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

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

  FIG. 25 (2) is based on the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S685 (FIG. 13) of the special figure right / wrong determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 at the time of the small hit of the first special figure. This is a display example of the “V challenge effect” to be performed. The specific display content is to display a plate in which the character string of “V Challenge” is described in the center of the screen, and display “Right” and a rightward arrow twice at the top of the plate to display the plate in the second game area 3b. The game ball is strongly urged to fire, a character (Kuma no Tatsuyoshi) is displayed at the upper right of the screen, and the pseudo small hit symbol is reduced and confirmed at the lower right of the screen.

  FIG. 25 (3) shows the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S325 (FIG. 8) of the general symbol right / wrong determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 when the normal symbol performs the second release. This is a display example of “V Challenge production” performed based on the above. The only difference from (2) is that the changing pseudo symbol is displayed in the lower right part of the screen.

  As described above, it is possible to determine which of the V-challenge is to be determined by viewing the effect display at the time of the small hit of the first special figure and at the time of performing the second opening of the normal symbol, and it is difficult to determine the V-challenge on the effect display. May be configured. However, since it is possible to immediately determine whether the ordinary electric accessory 16 operates or the first special winning opening 14 operates after the effect is performed, the time during which the determination is difficult is short. Although it is a short time, even if it is instantaneous, the player's expectation expands just by thinking that it is a small hit of the first special map, so that the effect can be highly expected. Even in a configuration that can be distinguished, it is similarly difficult to determine which effect has occurred (for example, the location that can be distinguished is extremely small).

  FIG. 26 (4) shows a state in which a gaming ball enters the second starting port 12 (normally the electric accessory 16) from the state of (3) (the normal symbol is won with the second open symbol) and occurs with a high probability. 2 is a display example at the time of winning a small hit of a special figure. In this case, a signal instructing continuation of the V-challenge effect transmitted in S695 (FIG. 13) of the special figure right / wrong determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80. The effect display is performed based on the reception of the “.”, And the appearance is such that the “V Challenge effect” is continuously performed from the second open winning of the ordinary figure.

  The specific display contents are the same as the “V Challenge” plate and the “Right Arrow” display, as shown in FIG. 25 (3), but the “Big Winner (bottom) opens at the top of the plate. Please Please "is displayed.

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

  FIG. 26 (6) shows a display example in a case where the game ball cannot be entered when the normal electric accessory 16 is opened for the second time (long open). In the case where the ordinary figure wins the symbol for performing the second opening, the effect display is performed on the assumption that the second special figure will be a small hit as shown in FIG. 25 (3), but the second opening is performed. If it is not possible to enter the ordinary electric accessory 16 (if the second special figure cannot be changed), a challenge failure effect in the figure is displayed.

  Specifically, a large "x" is displayed at the center of the screen, and a character string "V Challenge failed" and a character with a disappointing expression (Kuma no Tatsuyoshi) are displayed above. The same display effect may be performed even when the game ball cannot enter the specific area 94 even if the small hit game is executed (the first special figure small hit and the second special figure small hit). Can be shared). In this case, a common display effect is provided for the failure to enter the normal electric accessory 16 and the failure to enter the specific area 94 at the first special figure small hit and the second special figure small hit.

  The above is the description of the first embodiment. By using the game specifications of the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-time saving (non-open extension) state), the game (the first special winning opening 14 or the second special winning opening 14) that fluctuates the first special figure while fluctuating the general figure is performed. Aiming at the operation of the special winning opening 91) becomes main, and at the end of the big hit of the first special map, if there is a 50% probability of being in a time saving (open extension) state, during the time saving state, the main game is to fluctuate the second special figure. If the second special figure hits a symbol or jackpot during the time reduction state, the time reduction state will be continued with a 70% probability.

  In the normal gaming state, the small hit of the first special figure occurs with a probability of 1/100, and the general figure is won at the symbol of 1/100 and the second opening is performed, and the second special figure is determined to be appropriate. If the second special map wins the small hit in 198/199, the small special hit in the second special map will also occur at 1/100 of the judgment of the general figure which fluctuates in the normal state. Become. Therefore, the small hit (the "V Challenge" in the present embodiment) aiming at the accessory big hit is different in the first special figure and the second special figure in both the first special figure and the ordinary figure, but is substantially 1/100. Occurs in

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-time saving (non-open extension) state), the general winning and the first special figure have different winning patterns (the normal opening second hit and the first special hit). The same effect display that expects a big hit is triggered by the special figure small hit, but even with the same effect display, the ball entry probability in the specific area at the time of the small hit game is the first. Since the special hit is higher at the time of the small hit, an interest is generated in which “V challenge” related to the small hit.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment and their electrical connections are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described have the same contents and redundant description is omitted.

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

  FIG. 27 shows the operation of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is the content of the item “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a probability, and in either case, if the general figure wins, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens once for 5.0 seconds.

  In addition, the general figure pass / fail probability changes at the same timing as the transition to the time saving (open extension) state. More specifically, in the time reduction (open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-time reduction (non-open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with the normal probability (1/100).

  FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 are flowcharts showing the general figure right / wrong determination process 2 executed by the main control device 80 in the second embodiment. The difference from the general figure pass / fail decision processing 1 described in the first embodiment is that the general figure pass / fail decision probability has two types, a normal probability and a high probability, and is determined by either of the probabilities depending on the value of the general figure probability change flag. When the general figure right / wrong determination is made and the general figure right / wrong determination is won in the normal state (time saving flag = 0, general figure probable change flag = 0), the "V challenge effect" display instruction command is unconditionally displayed on the sub integrated control device 83. (In the first embodiment, the general figure approval / disapproval determination is transmitted only when the second open winning is achieved).

  More specifically, in the general figure permission / non-permission determination processing 2, when the hold storage shift processing (FIG. 28, S1370) corresponding to S220 of the general figure permission / non-permission determination processing 1 is performed, it is determined whether the (general figure) probability change flag is 0 (S1375), if the determination is affirmative (S1375: yes), the comparison process of the random number for ordinary figure determination is performed using the low probability determination table used in the normal state (S1380), and if the determination is negative (S1375: no), the high probability is determined. Using the high probability determination table used in the (time saving, extension open) state, a comparison process of the random number for general-purpose determination is performed (S1385).

  Further, in FIG. 29 of the general figure permission / non-permission determination processing 2 corresponding to FIG. 8 of the general figure permission / non-permission determination processing 1, if the confirmed and displayed general figure is a hit symbol (S1460: yes), it is determined whether the time reduction flag is 0 or not. Then (S1465), in the case of a positive determination, that is, in the normal gaming state (S1465: yes), an instruction command for displaying "V Challenge production" notifying that it is a chance to win a special hit is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S1470).

  In the present embodiment, the probable change flag is used to determine the determination probability at the time of carrying out the general figure right / wrong determination processing 2, but the probability is determined based on the value of the time reduction flag (low probability, time reduction if the time reduction flag = 0). (If flag = 1, high probability) may be determined.

  Ordinarily, the determination of the success / failure of the symbol changes the probability, so that it is not necessary to provide the first opening (short) and the second opening (long) as in the first embodiment. "V Challenge production" can be implemented.

  FIG. 30 shows the general electric game process 2 executed by the main control device 80 in the second embodiment. Unlike the general electric game process 1 in the first embodiment, if the normal state is set when the symbol per symbol is displayed in the normal state, the normal state By performing the normal electric operation start process (S1515), the ordinary electric accessory 16 always executes one type of opening pattern. In the present embodiment, the common electric accessory 16 has a common open pattern of 5.0 seconds between the open extended state and the non-open extended state, and therefore, regardless of the gaming state (without determining the value of the time reduction flag). A normal power operation start process may be performed.

  FIG. 31 is a part of the flowchart of the special game process 2 executed by the main control device 80 in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 21 of the special game process 1 described in the first embodiment. This is a process of setting the game state at the time of winning and the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol and the game state after the end of the big hit game at the time of the special figure win / fail determination.

  The differences from the special game processing 1 of the first embodiment are S1570 and S1575, in which the setting of the universal figure probable change flag and the setting of the probable change counter (setting of the same value as the time reduction counter) after the end of the big hit game are performed (high probability state transition). means).

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

  The above is the description of the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the probability of judging whether or not the general figure is correct is changed. Thus, when the general figure is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first release (short release) and the second release (short release) are performed. It is no longer necessary to provide a “V challenge effect” every time the normal drawing is won in the normal state.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the third embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are also common to the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described are the same in content, and redundant description is omitted.

  The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the first special map does not have a small hit (the jackpot occurs only in the second special map). This is a point provided with a game (the opening mode of the first big winning opening 14 is different from the number of working hours after the end of the big hit game). Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 33 shows the operation of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment. What is different from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is that there is no setting of the first special figure in the columns of “small hit probability”, “small hit game”, and “big hits”, and In the column of "", the types of the big hit games are increased to three types. In addition, since the probability of hitting the ordinary figure and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of winning are the same as those in the first embodiment (the probability does not change and two types of opening patterns are provided in the normal state). Then, when the regular figure wins with the second open symbol, the second special figure fluctuates, and the expectation of the special hit jackpot can be obtained ("V Challenge production" is implemented).

  The type and content of the big hit game (big hit game setting means) in the case where the first special figure of the present embodiment, which is different from the first and second embodiments, has a symbol big hit will be described with reference to FIG. If the first special map wins with 2,4,6,8 symbols (ratio of 4/10), the first big winning opening 14 will open 4 rounds, a big hit game (opening up to 29.0 seconds per round) Or 9 counts). In this case, the game does not shift to the time reduction state (open extended state) after the end of the big hit game (the ratio is different from the first and second embodiments).

  If the first special map is a big hit with a pattern of 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), a big hit game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds (up to 29.0 seconds per round) After the jackpot game is over, the special figure is in a time-saving state (extended open state) until the special figure changes 99 times (the same contents as the first and second embodiments including the ratio).

  If the first special map is a big hit with a symbol of 0 (1/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 will carry out a big hit game (opening of up to 6.0 seconds per round or 9 counts) to open 2 rounds Then, after the big hit game is completed, the time-saving state (open extended state) is maintained until the special figure changes four times (contents not provided in the first and second embodiments).

  In the present embodiment, if the first special figure hits with a symbol of four times in two rounds in a normal state, the time is reduced (extended open) until the special figure fluctuates four times after the big hit game. It is desirable from the game configuration that the time saving (extended extension) state is maintained until the second special figure changes four times, and the upper limit of the second reserved memory number is set to one (the second special figure changes four times). The time saving function of this embodiment is set with the contents shown in FIGS. Note that, also in this embodiment, the second special figure starts changing (priority determination of special figure is executed) with priority over the first special figure.

  FIG. 34 is Table 1 showing the time saving function of the third embodiment, and shows the details of the number of time savings set for each big hit symbol. Specifically, if the first special map hits with a symbol with no rounds of 4 rounds, the time saving setting is not performed. A setting in which the time-saving (open extension) state is maintained until the condition is satisfied is performed. The specific conditions are (1) until the first special figure fluctuates up to 20 times, (2) until the second special figure fluctuates up to four times, and (3) the first special figure and the second special figure are total. When the game ball is caused to flow down to the second game area 3b in the time-saving (extended opening) state, the change of the first special figure is limited to only the first reserved storage, and (2) Is satisfied, the time-saving (open-extended) state ends. Therefore, even if the upper limit of the second reserved storage number is one, the time saving until the second special figure fluctuates four times after the big hit game ends. (Open extension) state is maintained.

  Therefore, when the first special map has a big hit with a symbol of four rounds of time reduction in two rounds, it is expected that the second special figure always fluctuates four times after the big hit game, rather than the payout by the big hit. .

  By doing in this way, when the game shifts to the time saving state for the first time from the big hit during the normal game, the hold storage of the first special figure may remain. If an attempt is made to give a very short number of time savings of four times as in this embodiment, the remaining time may be consumed by the reserved storage of the remaining first special figure. It cannot be performed stably. Therefore, by setting in this manner, the second special figure fluctuates four times even if the reserved memory remains in the first special figure or the ball is accidentally made to enter the first starting port 11 even when the time is reduced. It is possible to secure a time-saving state until it is completed. However, if the maximum number of times in the first special figure and the total number of times in the first special figure are too large, there is a possibility that the lottery in the first special figure may be obtained as it is, so it is necessary to provide the advantage so as not to reverse. There is.

  In addition, in the case of setting the number of time savings other than the case where the first special figure hits with the symbol of the second round four times in the normal state, the conditions (1), (2), and (3) described above are included in any case including the bonus hit. Is set to 99 times.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the first special figure has a big hit with a symbol of two rounds and a time reduction of four times, a chance of a small hit from the second special figure small hit occurs. Therefore, when the first special figure hits with a symbol of two rounds and four time savings, a "V challenge effect" common to the contents described in the first and second embodiments is implemented.

  FIG. 36 shows a part of the special figure hit determination processing 3 executed by the main control device 80 in the present embodiment, and corresponds to the flowchart described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, when the first special figure has no small hits and the first special figure has a big hit with a symbol of four times in two rounds, the "V challenge effect" is configured to be performed. Processing unit.

  After starting the operation of the condition device and the accessory continuous operation device based on the determined display of the big hit symbol (S1680, S1685), it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol is a four-time symbol of the first special figure in the second round of time reduction ( If an affirmative determination is made (S1690: yes), a "V challenge effect" display instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1675), and the big hit flag is set to 1 (S1705). If a negative determination is made in S1690 (S1690: no), a big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1700), and the big hit flag is set to 1 (S1705).

  With this processing, when a big hit of a predetermined symbol (two rounds, four times in short) occurs in the first special figure, the above-described V challenge effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the V-challenge effect is started when a predetermined big hit symbol (two rounds, four short times) is confirmed and displayed on the first special figure. Done.

  In this embodiment, since the time saving is four times, the V challenge is continuously performed four times with a high probability. Therefore, a display different from that of the other embodiments, such as “V challenge × 4!” Or “V challenge first time” to “V challenge last!” May be considered. Further, by providing the number of time reductions not only four, but once, twice, three times,..., It is possible to provide V challenges with various expectations.

  Also, when a small hit (in the present embodiment, the small hit is only the second special figure) occurs in the normal state, the game is also made to the second starting port 12 by the second opening operation of the ordinary electric accessory 16 in the present embodiment. Since the ball is considered to have entered, the continuation of the "V Challenge Direction" (from the case where the general figure is won with the second open symbol or the case where the first special figure is won with the predetermined jackpot symbol) A command for instructing (continue) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1745).

  FIG. 37 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 according to the third embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 37 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (2) of the first embodiment (however, a predetermined pseudo big hit symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen), but the display timing is the normal state. 36, and is executed when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the "V challenge effect display" instruction command in S1695 in FIG. 36. Is done.

  The above is the description of the third embodiment. In the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit with a predetermined big hit symbol (two rounds of time savings of four times), instead of performing a big hit finalizing effect in which no payout can be expected, in the time saving state after the big hit is completed, the third hit from the special hit jackpot is performed. It is configured to perform a “V Challenge production” that expects a two-split map. Furthermore, since the time saving function described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35 is provided, the second special figure always fluctuates four times after the end of the big hit game of a predetermined big hit symbol (four times of two rounds). The small hit of the second special map occurs four times. Therefore, there are four chances to win a special jackpot, and the "V challenge production" by the predetermined big hit design (two rounds, four times short) is compared with the "V challenge production" from the second open design winning of the regular figure. , Very high expectations.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine and the electrical connection thereof in the fourth embodiment are also common to the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described have the same content, and redundant description will be omitted.

  The present embodiment is different from the configuration of the third embodiment in that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the pass / fail judgment probability of the general figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of the general figure is related to the game state. This is a common point (common to the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the table in FIG.

  FIG. 38 shows the operation of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 33 of the third embodiment is the content of the item “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a high probability, and if either of the general figure winning or losing probabilities is awarded, the ordinary electric accessory 16 will open once for 5.0 seconds.

  In addition, the general figure pass / fail probability changes at the same timing as the transition to the time saving (open extension) state. More specifically, in the time reduction (open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-time reduction (non-open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with the normal probability (1/100).

  The above is the description of the fourth embodiment. As described above, the difference from the third embodiment is that the probability of judging whether the general figure is correct or not is changed, so that there is no small hit of the first special figure, and the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (two rounds of time reduction four times) ), When the big hit is won, the V-challenge effect is performed in place of the big hit effect, and when the normal drawing is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first opening (short opening) and the first opening Since there is no distinction between two open (long open), the "V Challenge production" can be performed every time the regular drawing is won.

  Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the fifth embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are also common to the first embodiment, and the parts that are not particularly described are the same in content, and redundant description is omitted.

  This embodiment has a configuration in which the operation contents of the first embodiment and the operation contents of the third embodiment are combined. The first special figure has a small hit, and the first opening (short opening) is performed in a normal state in a normal state. A hit symbol for performing a second hit (long opening) and a hit symbol for performing a second opening (long opening) (Example 1), and as a hit symbol of the first special figure, a predetermined hit symbol for executing a round hit of four rounds with two rounds of time (implementation) Example 3) also has contents.

  The table of FIG. 39 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment. The specific content is almost the same as the content of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, except that the content and type of the big hit game at the time of the symbol big hit of the first special figure are common to the content of the third embodiment. Point. In this embodiment, since there is also a jackpot hit from the first special figure small hit, the contents of the number of time savings set at the end of the hit jackpot are as shown in FIG. 40, and the other big hit game ends. The contents of the setting of the number of time savings in time are the same as the contents described in FIGS.

  By making the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment have the operation contents shown in the table of FIG. 39, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned “V Challenge production” is performed when the small hit of the first special map is won and the second release of the general drawing is performed. At the time of winning the symbol, it is possible to carry out at a total of three places at the time of winning the predetermined big hit symbol of the first special map (two rounds, a short number of times four symbols).

  As a result, "V Challenge" (small hit game in which the second big winning opening 91 operates) is performed once at the time of occurrence of the small hit in the first special map, and "V Challenge" is up to 2 at the time of winning the second open symbol in the ordinary figure. If the first special figure hits with a predetermined big hit symbol (two rounds, the number of times of shortening four times), the second special figure changes at least four times, in other words, the small hit of the second special figure "V Challenge" will be continued until the event occurs four times.

  Therefore, for the player, the “V Challenge production” appearing in the big hit of the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (two rounds with a short number of times of four times) is a production period with a very high degree of expectation. Since the ball entry rate is higher in the small hit in the first special map, the gaming ability in which the degree of expectation similarly expands also in the small hit in the first special map. As described above, by providing the small hits with various occasions, it is possible to win the special hits in various patterns, and to enhance the playability.

  Next, a sixth embodiment will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine according to the sixth embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are also common to the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described have the same content, and redundant description will be omitted.

  The present embodiment is different from the configuration of the fifth embodiment in that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the pass / fail judgment probability of the ordinary figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of the ordinary figure is related to the game state. This is a common point (common to the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

  FIG. 41 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the sixth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 39 of the fifth embodiment is the content of the item “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a probability, and in either case, if the general figure wins, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens once for 5.0 seconds.

  Also in the present embodiment, the ordinary figure pass / fail probability changes on the same occasion as the transition to the time-saving (open extension) state. More specifically, in the time reduction (open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-time reduction (non-open extension) state, the general figure permission / inhibition determination is performed with the normal probability (1/100).

  The above is the description of the sixth embodiment. As described above, the difference from the fifth embodiment is that the probability of success / failure determination of the general figure changes. This allows the small special hit of the first special figure and the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (two rounds of short time 4 times). The "V challenge effect" can be performed every time when the ordinary figure is won in the normal state (during the low probability state), while the "V challenge effect" is configured to be performed when the big hit is won at the time.

  The above is the description of the embodiment. Each of the pachinko machines of the embodiments is configured to have a symbol jackpot and a special jackpot from a small hit. Operation determining means for determining whether to operate the first open when it is difficult to enter the ball by comparing the devices (ordinary electric accessory 16) or to operate the second open when the ball is easy to enter by comparing ” On the other hand, the pachinko machines according to the second, fourth, and sixth embodiments do not include the operation determination unit, and instead have a high probability that the winning probability of the general figure success / failure determination after the end of the big hit game is higher than the normal probability state. High-probability state shifting means for shifting to a probability state ".

  Further, the pachinko machines of the first, second, fifth and sixth embodiments are provided with "small hit determination means for winning the small hit of the second special symbol with a higher probability than the small hit of the first special symbol". The small hitting game based on the small hit winning of the special symbol and the small hitting game based on the small hit winning of the second special symbol have different ball entry rates to the specific area. "

  In the pachinko machines of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth embodiments, "the content of the big hit game and the execution period of the opening extension means are set according to the type of the big hit symbol in which the first special symbol or the second special symbol is definitely displayed. A jackpot game setting means to perform the operation, and a case in which an opening extension period (number of working hours) is set at the end of the jackpot game: "a first setting for terminating the opening extension means when the number of confirmed and displayed first special symbols reaches a predetermined number; (2) The second setting for terminating the opening extension means when the number of confirmed display times of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number, and the opening extension means when the total confirmed display number of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches the predetermined number of times. Open extension period setting means for performing the third setting to be finished ".

  In the embodiment, when a chance to enter the specific area 94 (chance of a jackpot hit) occurs, a “V Challenge” effect that is common in appearance is performed in any case. Depending on the difference, the display content of the “V Challenge” effect may be different, and in that case, the display content may be changed according to the degree of expectation that a big hit will occur from the “V Challenge” to be performed.

  In this case, for example, when a big hit occurs in the first special figure in the third special embodiment, a predetermined big hit design (four times in the second round, the number of times is four), the expected period is set to another "V". "Ultra V Challenge" because it is 4 times longer than the "Challenge". If the small hit of the first special map occurs in Examples 1, 2, 5, and 6, "Super V Challenge" and Examples 1, 3, and 5 At the time of winning the second open symbol in the general figure and at the time of winning the general figure in the second, fourth, and sixth embodiments, the "V challenge" may be set (all in a normal game state).

  In addition, when the general figure is won with the second open symbol during the small hit game of the first special figure of the first and fifth embodiments, and the general figure is formed during the small hit game of the first special figure of the second and sixth embodiments. In the case of winning, there may be a configuration in which the “V Challenge” effect (the effect of prompting entry to a specific area) is switched to the “effect of prompting entry to a specific area”, which is different from the “V Challenge” effect that is being performed.

  In this configuration, since the general symbol fluctuates even during the small hit game of the first special figure being implemented as the “V Challenge”, the general symbol may be won with the second open symbol during the small hit game. In the case where the winning is selected, a plurality of “V Challenges” are performed continuously (after the small hit of the first special map is performed, and then the small hit of the second special map occurs continuously). The purpose is to make it appear as if a "V Challenge" has occurred. With this configuration, in the rare case where small hits occur consecutively, it is possible to further increase the player's sense of expectation.

  Also, if the first hold memory during the small hit game of the second special map has a hold memory of a small hit, a “V Challenge” effect (for example, when entering a specific area, It is also conceivable to switch to a “prompt for entering a specific area”, which is different from “prompt for directing”. In the case of this configuration, in the situation where the small hit of the second special map is executed first, the small hit of the first special map having a higher winning probability to the specific area 94 is continuously performed. It will be configured to notify before. Also in this configuration, when small hits with a higher expected degree of occurrence of a large hit are consecutive, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation.

  In addition, a common effect for informing in advance of the small hit of the first special map, the predetermined big hit symbols of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth examples (two rounds, the number of times shortened four times), and the hit of the normal symbol in advance. Is also conceivable. For example, if a design (for example, roulette) different from the special design of the special figure is displayed, and whether or not the V challenge is generated there is displayed, the V challenge is generated by a lottery different from the special drawing lottery. It can be made to look as if it is, and the big hit by the big hit by the pattern and the small hit by the small hit can be clearly separated.

  As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present invention, it becomes a game machine capable of giving a chance of a plurality of bonuses having different degrees of advantage as well as a big hit of a symbol. The present invention can be applied to a ball game machine having a configuration in which a special hit is generated from a small hit to a special hit.
