Times). In addition, the second starting port 12 is configured so that the game ball cannot enter unless the blade member of the ordinary electric accessory is driven.

  When the game ball enters the first starting port 11 (the first starting port switch 11a (see FIG. 4) detects the game ball), the first special symbol starts fluctuating in the first special symbol display device, and the predetermined time has passed. Stop later. When the game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory which is the second starting port 12 (the second special figure start switch 12a (see FIG. 4) detects the game ball), the second special figure display device displays the second special figure. The symbols start changing display and stop after a predetermined time.

  During the fluctuation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the effect symbol display device 6 displays the effect mode linked to the change of each special symbol. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol, regardless of the order of entry into the first starting port and the second starting port, the variable stop of the second special symbol is prioritized and implemented. Specifically, if there is a reserved storage of the first special symbol, the fluctuation of the second special symbol is stopped and there is no second special symbol reserved memory, and the fluctuation of the first special symbol reserved memory is started. To do.

  The special winning opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 4) described later is driven according to the confirmed display mode of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. When the special winning opening solenoid 14b is driven, the door member of the special winning opening 14 is opened almost in synchronization, and the game ball enters the special winning opening 14 (the count switch 14a (see FIG. 4) detects the game ball). It is configured to shift to the big hit game state (corresponding to the privilege state of the present invention) that enables the game.

  The pachinko machine in this embodiment is configured as a probability varying machine. More specifically, the game by the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is roughly divided into a game in which the special winning opening 14 is closed and a jackpot game in which the special winning opening 14 is opened. , Roughly classified into a normal probability state (hereinafter, a normal state) and a high-probability state (hereinafter, a probability that a big hit is high and a big hit is easy) compared to the normal state. There is also a fluctuation state).

  The special symbol consists of a probability variation symbol and a non-probability variation symbol, and the probability variation state is set to be transferable after the jackpot game in the probability variation symbol is set, and in either the normal state or the probability variation state, the probability in any game state. If you make a big hit with a variable symbol, after the big hit game ends, the state changes to a probability varying state. Similarly, the normal state is set to be transferable after the jackpot game with non-stochastic fluctuation symbols is set, and in the normal state and the stochastic variation state, if a big hit with the non-stochastic fluctuation symbol is given in any game state, after the jackpot game, Transition to normal state.

  After the transition to the normal state, the variation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is shortened by a prescribed number of times (for example, 100 times), and the time extension state in which the opening extension function of the ordinary electric auditors works is brought into a shortened state. When the variation time (time from the start of variation until the result is displayed) of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, the number of times the variable display is performed within a certain period of time is increased.

  Specifically, in the time saving state of the present embodiment, along with shortening the variation time of the special symbol, the time of the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display device is also shortened, but it is possible to shorten the variation display of this ordinary symbol. Then, the regular symbol is confirmed and displayed many times within a fixed time. Therefore, the number of times a normal symbol is won within a certain period of time is increased, and thus the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric auditors is also increased. Moreover, since the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is set to be long (opening extension function), a large number of game balls can be easily won. By facilitating the winning of a large number of game balls in this way, the number of times that the special symbols are displayed is further increased, and the prize balls obtained by winning the ordinary electric accessory make it difficult for the player's possession balls to decrease. You can play various games.

  In the probability variation state, the variation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is shortened similarly to the time saving state, and the opening extension function of the ordinary electric auditors operates. The settings related to the shortening of various symbols and the normal electric accessory release extension function are the same as the time saving state, but the probability fluctuation state has a high jackpot probability of special symbols in addition to the time saving state (a state where it is easy to hit big), The game state is advantageous to the player (corresponding to the privilege state of the present invention).

Residual processing ". The "main processing" will be periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination processing is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is the predetermined value, and when the processing executed by the microcomputer shifts to this processing, normal processing is executed. It is for judging whether or not it is okay. In the case of not being a normal interrupt, a microcomputer runaway etc. due to power-on or noise etc. can be considered, but since it can be considered that there is almost no microcomputer runaway due to the improvement of the technology in recent years, it is mostly at power-on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  S10 is negative determination, that is, when it is determined that it is not a normal interrupt (S10: no), initial setting (for example, write a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, a memory such as a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol) Each initial value is written to the work area of (S15) (S15), and the process proceeds to the residual process (S80).

  When an affirmative decision is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number updating process (S20), a jackpot determining random number updating process (S25), a jackpot symbol determining random number 1 updating process (S30), a jackpot symbol determining process. Random number 2 update process (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update process (S40), hit determination random number update process (S45), reach determination random number update process (S50), fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S55) ) Is done.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the left winning openings 31 to 34, the second regular winning opening 32, the third ordinary winning opening 33, the fourth ordinary winning opening 34, and Input processing of each switch provided on the pachinko machine and connected to the main controller 80 is executed. Successively, the judgment processing (S65), each output processing (S70) such as image output processing, and the fraud monitoring processing (S75) are performed, and the initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the interrupt signal is input next. The process (S80) is looped.

  Next, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The start winning process, when the game ball enters the first start port 11, the second start port 12, or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol actuation gate 17, various random numbers such as winning and winning random numbers, It is stored (stored) in the main controller 80 as a reserved memory, and a process of confirming whether or not the stored random number is a preset value is performed before performing a hit determination, which will be described later. (2) A process of transmitting various commands resulting from a ball entering the starting opening 12 to the sub integrated control device 83. After that, the reserve memory that is stored when the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 is the first reserve memory, and the reserve memory that is stored when the game ball enters the second starting opening 12 is the second reserve memory. The memory, the normal memory is stored as a reserved memory that is stored when the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting gate 17.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of lighting of each of the normal symbol holding number display device 8, the first special figure holding number display device 18, the second special figure holding number display device 19 is 4 (the maximum holding storage number is However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the maximum storage number of each may be 8, for example. Further, even if the number of each stored memory is 0, it is acquired when the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12 or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17. Various random numbers such as the winning and rejecting random numbers are stored in the main controller 80 as in the case where there is a memory number less than the maximum value.

  When the start winning process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start opening switch 11a detects a game ball (S100). If the determination is negative (S100: no), the process proceeds to S130, and if the determination is positive (S100: yes), it is determined whether the number of the first reserved storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4). (S105). If negative determination (S105: no), the process proceeds to S130, and if positive determination (S105: yes), extracted big hit determination random number, big hit symbol determination random number 1, big hit symbol determination random number 2, small hit symbol determination random number. , A random number for reach determination and a random number for fluctuation pattern determination are stored as the first reserved memory, and 1 is added to the first reserved memory counter indicating the number of the first reserved memories (S110).

  Subsequent to S110, the pre-reading determination of the stored first reserved memory is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed 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 jackpot symbol is confirmed. If the big hit judgment is lost, it is confirmed whether or not it is a value that causes a small hit, and if it is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that results in super reach. If it is not super reach, it is confirmed whether or not the value is a reach value, and the fluctuation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern determination. By performing the above determination, it is determined whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect for a big hit (whether it is possible to produce an effect that expects a big hit even if it is off).

  Subsequently, the first prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S115 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S120), and the first reservation number instruction command indicating the value of the first reservation storage counter added in S110 is issued. It transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125).

  Following 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 opening 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 positive (S130: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of the second reserved storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4). (S135). If negative determination (S135: no) proceeds to S160, and if positive determination (S135: yes), extracted big hit determination random number, big hit symbol determination random number 1, big hit symbol determination random number 2, small hit symbol determination random number , The reach determination random number and the fluctuation pattern determination random number are stored as the second storage, and 1 is added to the second storage counter indicating the second storage number (S140), and the second storage is stored in the same manner as S110. Readahead determination is performed (S145).

  Subsequently, a second prefetch determination command is generated from the determination result of S145 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S150), and the second suspension number instruction command indicating the value of the second suspension storage counter added in S140 It transmits to the integrated control apparatus 83 (S155), and progresses to S160.

  In S160, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), the process is returned, and if the determination is positive (S160: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved universal figure memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4) ( S165). If the determination is negative (S165: no), the process is returned, and if the determination is positive (S165: yes), the extracted random number for hit determination and random number for determination of winning symbols are stored as the ordinary figure hold storage, and the number of stored figure keep 1 is added to the universal figure pending storage counter (S170), and the universal figure pending storage number instruction command indicating the added value of the universal figure pending storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S175), and the process returns.

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second holding storage number instruction commands, it sends an instruction signal to change each holding storage number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in accordance with the holding storage number indicated by the received command. It transmits to the effect design control device 82. In addition, in the present embodiment, the number of reserved storage of ordinary symbols is not displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to be displayed in response to the reception of the general figure reserved storage number instruction command. The number instruction command itself may not be transmitted. Further, a configuration may be conceived in which the pre-reading determination of the universal figure is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control device. As a result, it is possible to carry out a pre-reading announcement that expects the opening of the ordinary electric accessory (the second starting opening 12).

  Next, the hit / miss determination process performed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. This processing is performed by the main controller 80 when the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the jackpot determination random number and the gaming state at the time of the hit determination (normal gaming state or high probability gaming state). Whether or not to generate a big hit depending on, and if the judgment result is a big hit, select the contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game based on the random number for the big hit symbol judgment, and select the big hit game The jackpot pattern to be confirmed and displayed is determined from a plurality of jackpot patterns corresponding to. Therefore, this process is a process for determining a big hit game state that is advantageous to the player, a shift to the big hit game in which the number of times of the big winning opening 14 is the largest, and a shift to the high-probability game state after the end of the big hit game, It corresponds to the privilege state transition means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, main controller 80 determines whether or not the condition device is inactive (S200). This determination is made based on the jackpot flag. The big hit flag is a flag that stands when the special symbol is drawn by lottery (when the value of the obtained big hit determination random number matches a predetermined value). If S200 is a negative determination (S200: no), it proceeds to a special game process described later, if S200 is a positive determination (S200: yes), whether the special symbol is in a variable stop (S205), non-display of the fixed symbol It is determined whether it is a period (S210).

  If both S205 and S210 are affirmative (S205: yes, S210: yes), the process proceeds to FIG. 8 and it is determined whether there is a second hold storage (S220). If the determination is affirmative (S220: yes), the process proceeds to S230, and if the determination is negative (S220: no), it is determined whether or not there is the first pending storage (S225). If S225 is a negative determination (S225: no), it proceeds to the special game process, and if a positive determination (S225: yes), it proceeds to S230. According to the determination order of S220 and S225, it is configured such that the success / failure determination of the second reserved storage is performed prior to the first reserved storage.

  In S230, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 (S230). If the determination is negative (S230: no), the process proceeds to the process in the time saving state, but this process is no different from the known process (the time setting of the variation pattern to be selected is different), and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The time saving flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. When the value of the time saving flag is "0", it means that it is not in the time saving state. When the value of the time saving flag is "1", it is in the time saving state. Main controller 80 determines that In the time saving state, the variation time of the ordinary symbol, the first and the second special symbol is shortened, and the opening extension function is activated to increase the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric auditors and the operating time is extended from the ordinary state. State (corresponds to the bonus game state).

  If S230 is an affirmative determination (S230: yes), the shift process of the first reserved memory or the second reserved memory that is determined is performed, and thereby the oldest first reserved memory or second reserved memory is the object of the hit / fail judgment, and 1 is subtracted from the pending storage counter indicating the first or second pending storage count (S235), and a pending number instruction command indicating the value of the subtracted pending storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S240). ).

  In the subsequent jackpot determination random number comparison processing, the value of the jackpot determination random number is compared with the jackpot determination random number stored in the reserved memory that is the target of the bonus drawing determination, and the preset jackpot determination table. It is compared whether or not the judgment values in the hit / miss judgment table match (S245). There are two types of special probability table (normal probability (low probability 1/300)) and high probability table (1/30), and the game state at the time of determination is normal probability state (normal game state). ) Is compared using the hit-or-miss judgment table for normal probability, and if it is a high-probability game state, it is compared using the hit-or-miss judgment table for high probability.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the comparison result of S245 is a big hit (S250), and if the determination is affirmative (S250: yes), a symbol mode setting process is performed (S255). In the symbol mode setting process, based on the big hit symbol determination random number 1 of the first or second pending storage to be determined, the symbol mode for setting the contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game is set is set.

  Subsequently, a big hit symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the big hit symbol determination random number 2 (S260). This is a process for determining a big hit symbol to be fixedly displayed from the symbol group set for each type of symbol mode in order to notify the type of the big hit game determined by the setting of the symbol mode by the big hit symbol.

  Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S255 (S265). The mode buffer is a device for storing the contents of the game state after the big hit game determined at the time of the hit determination until the end of the big hit game for setting the game state (the probability change flag and the time saving flag for setting the game state during the big hit game). Because it is necessary to clear). The mode buffer does not store the specific game contents (actuation of the probability changing function and opening extension function (time saving function) and the number of times of operation), but stores a value corresponding to the specific game contents. .

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S255, a big winning opening opening pattern setting process, which is the content of the big hit game, is performed (S270), and a random number and a variation pattern for the reach determination of the reserved storage that is the object of the hit / miss judgment are performed. Based on the random number, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, and the variation pattern that is the variation time of the symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the variation pattern selection table (S275). . FIG. 11 shows an example of the variation patterns of the first special symbol and the types of variation patterns of the second special symbol in this embodiment.

  Next, 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 (S280). Based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which 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 production variation display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the first or second special drawing is started. Almost at 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 the variation of the special symbol.

  If S250 is a negative determination, that is, if it is lost (S250: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison process of S245 is a small hit (S285), and if it is a positive determination (S285: yes), a small hit symbol is selected ( S290), followed by open pattern setting process of the small hit game (S270), the variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S275), the variation instruction command which becomes the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern is sub- It is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S280). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which receives this information, and corresponds to the first or second special symbol based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. The variable display of the produced design is started. Almost at 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 the variation of the special symbol.

  If S285 is a negative determination (S285: no), a lost symbol is selected (S295), subsequently, a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S275), and a variation instruction command that becomes information of the symbol and variation pattern related to the lost symbol. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S280). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which receives this information, and corresponds to the first or second special symbol based on the information of the lost symbol and the variation pattern. Start the variable display of pseudo symbols. Almost at 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 the variation of the special symbol.

  Returning to the processing of FIG. 7, S205 is negative determination (S205: no), that is, if the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 9, and the change time of the special figure (based on the change pattern selected in S275) has elapsed. Whether or not it is determined (S300), if the negative determination (S300: no) proceeds to the special game processing, if the positive determination (S300: yes), outputs the symbol stop command to the sub integrated control device 83, the first special By controlling the figure display device 9 or the second special figure display device 10, the symbols determined in S260, S290 or S295 are confirmed and displayed (S305). The sub integrated control device 83 which receives the design stop command outputs an instruction signal for confirming and displaying a predetermined (production) design to the production design control device 82, and the production design control device 82 produces the production design by the signal. The display device 6 is controlled to confirm and display the pseudo (effect) symbol. Thereby, the start and end of the variation of the special symbol and the pseudo (effect) symbol are the same timing (synchronized).

  Following the processing of S305, it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed indicates a big hit (S310), and if the determination is affirmative (S310: yes), the determination symbol display setting process (the time to display the determined symbol) Is set) (S315), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S320), and if the determination is affirmative (S320: yes), 0 is set to the probability variation flag (S325). Following the negative determination in S325 or S320 (S320: no), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S330: yes), 0 is set in the time saving flag (S335). The probability variation flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. When the value is “0”, it means that the jackpot probability is in the normal gaming state (normal probability), and when the value is “1”. , A value for the main controller 80 to determine that the probability variation game state is in progress (high probability).

  Following the negative determination (S330: no) in S335 or S330, the condition device operation starting process (S340) and the accessory continuous operation device operation starting process (S345) are performed to sub-integrate the hit start effect instruction command. The command is transmitted to the control device 83 (S350), a command indicating the game state based on the process is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

  On the other hand, S310 is negative determination, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S310: no), the display setting process of the confirmed symbol (setting of the time to display the confirmed symbol) is performed (S360), the probability change flag is It is determined whether or not it is 1 (S365), if it is an affirmative determination (S365: yes), it is decremented from the probability variation counter (S370), it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter is 0 (S375), and if it is a positive determination (S375: yes), The probability variation flag is set to 0 (S380).

  If S380 or S365 or S375 is negatively determined (S365: no, S375: no), it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1 (S385), and if a positive determination is made (S385: yes), the time saving counter is decremented (S390). It is determined whether or not the time saving counter is 0 (S395), and if the determination is affirmative (S395: yes), 0 is set to the time saving flag (S400). Through S365 to S400, every time the special symbol performs a confirmation display in accordance with the winning / disagreement determination, the probability variation count and the time saving counter that regulate the high-probability game state and the time saving state are counted, and these counters reach a predetermined value. The high-probability state and the short-time state end.

  Then, if S400 or S385, S395 is a negative determination (S385: no, S395: no), it is determined whether or not the special symbol confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol (S405), and if it is a positive determination (S405: yes). ), The process of starting the operation of the small hit game is performed (S410). Following the negative determination of S410 or S405 (S405: no), a state designation command indicating the game state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S355), and the process proceeds to the special game process.

  Returning to FIG. 7, S210 is a negative determination (S210: no), that is, if the special symbol is confirmed and displayed, it proceeds to FIG. 10 and determines whether or not the confirmed symbol display time set in S315 or S360 has ended ( S450). If negative determination (S450: no) proceeds to special game processing, if positive determination (S450: yes), controls the first special figure display device 9 or the second special figure display device 10 to end the fixed display of special symbols. , Sends an instruction signal to the sub integrated control device 83 to end the fixed display of the pseudo (effect) symbol, and performs a fixed symbol display end process (S455), and proceeds to the special game process.

  The above is the special win / loss determination process executed by main controller 80. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a random number for selecting a type of pattern and a variation pattern for notifying the result of win / win determination at the time of the start winning process (random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for small hit symbol determination, reach determination) Although the random numbers and the variation pattern determining random numbers) are acquired, the configuration may be such that these random numbers are acquired during the success / failure determination process.

  Next, the special game processing executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15. This process is a process of controlling opening / closing of the special winning opening 14 based on the opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 set in S270 of FIG.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is inactive based on the big hit flag (S500). Affirmative determination, that is, if not a big hit (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is operating as a small hit game (S505). If S505 is a negative determination (S505: no), it returns, if it is an affirmative determination (S505: yes), it is determined whether or not it is during the small hit start interval (S510), and if it is a positive determination (S510: yes), a small hit. It is determined whether or not the start interval time has elapsed (S515), if the determination is negative (S515: no), the return is made, and if the determination is positive (S515: yes), the first big winning opening 14 is opened as a small hit game. The small hit production instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S520), and the process returns.

  If S510 is a negative determination (S510: no), it is determined whether or not a small hitting operation is being performed (S525), and if a positive determination (S525: yes), it is determined whether or not the count switch 14a has detected a game ball (S530). ), If the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of game balls entering the special winning opening 14 during the small hit game is less than 9 (S535). If S530 is a negative determination (S530: no) or S535 is a positive determination (S535: yes), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the small hit game of the special winning opening 14 has passed (S540), and if the negative determination is (S540). : No) Return.

  If S535 is negative determination (S535: no) or S540 is positive determination (S540: yes), the closing process of the special winning opening 14 which performs a small hit game is performed (S545), and then the small hit ending effect process is performed ( S550) Return.

  If S525 is not in the small hitting game in the negative judgment (S525: no), it is judged whether or not the time for the small hitting end effect has passed (S555), and if the negative judgment is made (S555: no), the return is made and the positive judgment is made. If so (S555: yes), a small hit game end process is performed (S560), and the process ends.

  If S500 is negative, that is, if the jackpot flag is set (S500: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13 to determine whether or not the special winning opening 14 is closed (S600), and if the determination is affirmative (S600: yes). It is determined whether or not the big hit game is being started (S605). If S605 is a positive determination (S605: yes), it is determined whether or not the start effect time of the big hit game has elapsed (S610), if negative determination (S610: no) returns, if a positive determination (S610: yes), The process for opening the special winning opening 14 is performed, and a command for instructing the special winning opening opening effect is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S615), and the process returns.

  If S605 is a negative determination (S605: no), that is, if the big hit game start production is not in progress, it is determined whether it is during an interval between rounds (S620). If a negative determination is made (S620: no), the big hit game finish production. It is determined whether or not it is in the middle (S630), and if the determination is negative (S630: no), the big hit start effect process is performed, and a command for instructing the big hit start effect is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S635) and the process returns.

  When the main control device 80 transmits a big hit start effect instruction command to the sub integrated control device 83 in S635, the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command violently uses the lamps and LEDs provided in the pachinko machine for the big hit game effect. The light is emitted, and the big hit game sound is output from the speaker. Further, the sub integrated control device 83 transmits a signal to the effect symbol control device 82 to cause the effect symbol display device 6 to display the big hit start effect.

  If S620 is affirmative, that is, if the interval between rounds is in progress (S620: yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed (S625), and if it is negative, the process returns (S625: no), and if affirmative (S625: yes). ), The special winning opening 14 is opened (S615), and the process returns.

  If S600 is negative, that is, if the special winning opening 14 is open (S600: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14, and it is determined whether or not the count switch 14a detects a game ball (S700). (S700: yes), it is determined whether the number of detections of the open count switch 14a is less than 9 (S705). If the negative determination of S700 or the positive determination of S705 (S700: no, S705: yes), it is determined whether the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has elapsed (S710), and if the negative determination is (S710: no), the process returns. , S705 is negative determination (S705: no), or S710 is a positive determination (S710: yes), close processing of the special winning opening 14 (S715), whether the round game of the finished big winning opening 14 is the final round. It is determined (S720).

  If S720 is affirmative (S720: yes), big hit end effect processing is performed, a command for instructing big hit end effect is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S725), and the process returns. If the determination in S720 is negative (S720: no), the inter-game interval process is performed, and an instruction signal for starting the interval effect is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S730) and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 13, if S630 is affirmative, that is, if the big hit end effect is being produced (S630: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 15 and it is determined whether the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S800). If S800 is a negative determination (S800: no), the process is returned to the return. If S800 is a positive determination (S800: yes), the accessory continuous operation device stop process (S805) and the condition device operation stop process (S810) are performed to make a big hit. After the game is finished, referring to the mode buffer set in S265 of FIG. 10 (winning / absence determination process) (S815), the probability variation flag (S820), the probability variation counter (S825), the time saving flag (S830), the time saving counter (S835). Is set, the mode buffer is cleared (S840), an end command (S845) is sent to the sub integrated control device 83, a state designation command based on the set probability variation flag and time saving flag is transmitted (S850), and the jackpot flag is set to 0. Set (S855) and return.

  Next, the fluctuation instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this processing, based on the content indicated by the variation instruction command received from the main control device 80, the effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the effect modes stored in the sub integrated control device 83 in plural numbers. This is a process of instructing display on the effect symbol display device 6, which corresponds to the effect display means of the present invention, and is a process including a part of the continuous striking effect means.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a fluctuation instruction command is received (S900), if the determination is negative (S900: no), the process returns, and if the determination is positive (S900: yes), the distribution random number is extracted (S905). , Based on the content indicated by the received variation instruction command and the distribution random number extracted in S905, the effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is determined from the plural kinds of effect modes stored in the sub integrated control device 83. A symbol to be displayed is selected (S910).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the production mode selected in S910 includes (is included in) the continuous stroke production (S915), and if the determination is negative (S915: no), a signal for instructing the display of the production mode selected in S910 is produced. It transmits to the symbol control device 82 (S920) and returns.

  If S915 is affirmative (S915: yes), continuous stroke effect setting processing is performed (S925), the type of automatic continuous stroke performed when automatic continuous stroke is set (S930), and 1 is set for the continuous stroke standby flag. Then (S935), the process proceeds to S920 described above. The continuous hitting standby flag is a value stored in the sub integrated control device 83. If the value is 1, it means that the continuous hitting effect is in a standby state. If the value is 0, it means that the sub integrated control device 83 is not in the standby state. Will judge.

  In the continuous hit effect setting process of S925, based on the effect mode selected in S910 and the random number extracted in S905, the effect pattern of the continuous hit effect, a standby timer that defines the time from the start of variation to the start of the continuous hit effect, and the continuous hit effect. An execution timer that defines an effect execution time (corresponding to a predetermined period of the present invention) is set, and in the automatic continuous hit type setting in S930, automatic continuous hits are performed based on the content of the variation instruction command and the extracted distribution random number. When it is set, it is set in advance which one of the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit is to be performed. In the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit, the pseudo automatic continuous hit interval of the game button 67 is set smaller in the first automatic continuous hit.

  As shown in the chart of FIG. 19 (2), in the present embodiment, four types of continuous hit effect patterns, 1 to 4, are provided, and a game button necessary for advancing the effect (increasing the scale by one scale) according to each pattern. The number of consecutive hits of 67 is different. In addition, even in the same effect pattern, the range of the set number for increasing the scale by one scale is different between the manual operation and the automatic operation (the "continuous hit effect of the present invention is the continuous hit by the automatic continuous hitting means and the continuous hit by the player". And that the predetermined number of times of performing the notification is set to a different number of times ".

  Further, as shown in the chart of FIG. 19 (1), when the player sets the automatic continuous hitting (the automatic continuous hitting set by long pressing the game button 67 for about 3.0 seconds), the first automatic continuous hitting and If either one of 2 automatic continuous hits is set, either is selected at the same ratio (5/10) if the result of the hit / miss judgment is a hit, but if it is lost, the ratio is set at 9/10. Since two automatic continuous hits are set, when the first automatic continuous hit is performed, it means that the player's expectation is high (the "automatic continuous hit means of the present invention performs the first automatic continuous hit"). When implemented, the degree of expectation of transitioning to the privilege state or having the transition to the privilege state is higher than that in the case of performing the second automatic continuous hitting ”.

  Next, the continuous hit production start process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process for starting the continuous striking effect based on the continuous striking standby flag and the standby timer set in the variation instruction command reception process.

  When this process starts. It is determined whether or not the continuous hitting standby flag is 1 (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), return is made, and if the determination is affirmative (S950: yes), the counter which is the standby timer is decremented (S955), and the standby timer is 0. It is determined whether or not (S960). If S960 is a negative determination (S960: no), a return is made, and if an affirmative determination is made (S960: yes), continuous stroke effect start processing is performed (S965), 1 is set in the continuous stroke execution flag (S970), and 0 is set in the continuous stroke standby flag. Set (S975) and return. By the continuous hit production start process, based on the execution timer set in S925 (continuous hit effect setting process), display of the continuous hit effect, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, is started on the effect symbol display device 6.

  The continuous hit execution flag is a value stored in the sub integrated control device 83. If the value is 1, it means that it is a period during which the continuous hit effect is possible according to the operation of the game button 67 by the player. If the value is 0, the continuous hit effect is produced. The sub-integrated control device 83 determines that the period is impossible.

  Next, the continuous hit effect execution processing executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 18. This process corresponds to the continuous striking means of the present invention, and includes an automatic continuous striking device.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the continuous-stroke execution flag is 1 (S1000). If the determination is negative (S1000: no), the process returns, and if the determination is positive (S1000: yes), the setting is made in S925 (continuous-stroke effect setting process). The counter serving as the execution timer is decremented (S1005), and it is determined whether the execution timer is 0 (S1010).

  If S1010 is negative, that is, if the continuous striking effect execution period (corresponding to the predetermined period of the present invention) (S1010: no), it is determined whether or not the operation of the game button switch 67a has been detected (S1030), and if the determination is affirmative (S1010: no). (S1030: yes), the continuous hit setting counter is incremented (S1035). The continuous hit setting counter serves as a counter for measuring the continued detection of the game button switch 67a, and also serves as a counter for counting the continued pressing period of the game button 67 by the player. Therefore, when the game button switch 67a is not detected (the player returns the depression of the game button 67), the counter value is cleared (S1090).

  Specifically, the counter value reaches a predetermined time (about 3 seconds in this embodiment) by the player continuing to press the game button 67 through S1050, S1055, S1060, and S1065 from the negative determination in S1040 described below. Then, the automatic continuous hitting is started, and thereafter, the automatic continuous hitting is configured to be continued by pressing the automatic hitting continuously. (If the player continues to press the operating means for a predetermined time within the predetermined period of the present invention, Equivalent to "automatic continuous hitting means to perform repeated hits").

  Subsequent to S1035, whether or not the continuous hit setting counter is 1 (first rise from the undetected state of the game button switch 67a), that is, where the continuous hit action has started or the automatic hit button 67 for starting automatic continuous hits. It is determined whether or not the continuous pressing of is started (S1040). If the determination is affirmative (S1035: yes), the continuous striking effect progress processing is performed (S1045), and the process returns.

  In the continuous hit production progress processing, whether or not the number of continuous hits of the game button 67 for advancing the effect set for each continuous hit effect pattern (increasing lighting of the meter) has reached the set number (see FIG. 19 (2)). If it is reached, it sends an instruction to proceed with the effect, specifically, an instruction signal to display the increased lighting of the meter, and if the meter is lit up to the final stage, it shows the expectation of a big hit. An instruction signal for displaying a numerical value is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. If the consecutive hits are performed until the numerical value of the expected degree is displayed, the consecutive hit effect is ended and the consecutive hit execution flag is set to 0 even if the execution timer does not reach zero.

  If the determination in S1040 is negative, that is, if the detection of the game button switch 67a is continued (S1040), it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous hit setting counter has reached the set value for starting the automatic continuous hit (S1050), and the positive judgment is made. That is, if the game button 67 is continuously pressed for about 3 seconds (S1050: yes), the automatic flag is set to 1 (S1055), the automatic continuous hit production progress process is performed (S1060), and the process returns.

  The automatic flag is a value stored in the sub integrated control device 83. If the value is 1, the sub integrated control device 83 indicates that the automatic continuous hit is being executed, and if the value is 0, the automatic integrated hit is not being executed. to decide.

  In the automatic continuous hit production progress processing, the operation of the game button 67 is continuously performed at predetermined intervals based on the type of automatic continuous hits (first automatic continuous hit or second automatic continuous hit) set in the variation instruction command reception process. Performing a pseudo control corresponding to that, every time the pseudo automatic continuous hit reaches the set number for the automatic continuous hit in FIG. 19 (2), the display mode is changed similarly to the continuous hit progress effect of S1045 (meter. The instruction signal to be turned on is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82, and if the meter is lit up to the final stage, an instruction signal for displaying a numerical value indicating the expectation of a big hit is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. In this case as well, if the consecutive hits are performed up to the stage of displaying the expected value, the consecutive hit effect ends even if the execution timer does not reach 0, and 0 is set to the consecutive hit execution flag and the automatic flag. It should be noted that a pattern may be provided in which the meter does not light up to the final stage no matter how many times the game button 67 is repeatedly hit. In this case, it is preferable that the hit / miss judgment result be missed, but it may be hit or hit. It is suitable to perform when the expectation of hit is low.

  If S1050 is a negative determination (S1050: no), it is determined whether or not the automatic flag is 1 (S1065), and if the determination is affirmative, that is, if the game button 67 continues to be pressed even after the start of continuous hits (S1065: yes). ), The process proceeds to S1060 to continue the automatic continuous striking effect progress processing, and if S1065 is negative (S1065: no), the process returns.

  If S1030 is negative (S1030: no), it is determined whether or not the automatic flag is 1 (S1070), and if positive (S1070: yes), the automatic continuous hitting effect is ended (S1075), and 0 is set to the automatic flag ( In step S1080, the continuous hit setting counter is cleared (step S1090) and the process returns. If the determination in S1070 is negative (S1070: no), it is determined whether or not the continuous hit setting counter is greater than 0 (S1085). If the negative determination is made (S1085: no), return is made, and if the positive determination is made (S1085), the continuous hit setting counter is set. After clearing (S1090), the process returns.

  When S1010 is affirmative, that is, when the execution period of the continuous shot effect ends (S1010: yes), the continuous shot effect ending process is performed (S1015), 0 is set in the automatic flag (S1020), and the continuous shot setting counter is cleared (S1025). ), The continuous hit execution flag is set to 0 (S1028), and the process returns.

  Next, with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 20 and 21, an example of the operation timing of the game button 67 in the case of continuous hitting will be described. In these timing charts, an example of the progress timing of the continuous hit production according to the number of times the game button 67 is operated, the operation timing of the game button 67 by the player, and the pseudo operation button 67 operation timing in the automatic continuous hit are shown. .

  FIG. 20 shows an example in which the player manually hits the game button 67 repeatedly. In the figure, the player starts the continuous hitting of the game button 67, reaches the first set number when the third continuous hit is performed, and the continuous hit effect is advanced by one step. It should be noted that this set number has the content shown in FIG. 19 (2), and the set number is again selected from within the range each time the production progresses.

  After that, if the set number from the second time to the fifth time is similarly advanced by repeating the manual repeated hits, the expected degree of whether or not to make a big hit is informed by a numerical value, and the continuous hit effect ends. In the present embodiment, there are five stages of progression of the continuous hit production until the expectation notification is made, but this step is not the same every time including the automatic continuous hit, but a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the game button 67 is performed. The configuration may be changed by (using a random number extracted at times). With this configuration, the difficulty level until the anticipation degree notification is changed for each continuous hit effect increases the interest.

  It should be noted that when the player repeatedly hits manually, the operation interval of the game button 67 is not constant, and the game proceeds with a combination of long and short intervals such as XY (X> Y) in the figure.

  In FIG. 21, (1) is an example when the first automatic repeated hit is performed, and (2) is an example when the second automatic repeated hit is performed. For easy comparison, each stage has the same set number of productions. The difference between the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit is the difference in the pseudo continuous hit interval, and the first automatic continuous hit is shorter than the second automatic continuous hit (the "automatic hitting of the present invention". The interval between the first automatic repeated hits is smaller than the interval between the second automatic continuous hits ". As a result, the time from the start of the automatic repeated hits to the end of the repeated hit effects is longer in the second automatic continuous hits.

  In the present embodiment, the operation interval of the pseudo game button 67 is set to be the same each time in the automatic continuous hit, but different operation intervals may be set each time a pseudo operation such as a manual operation is performed, and the first automatic operation is performed. In this case, the average of the operation intervals may be shorter. In this case, by incorporating an operation interval equivalent to that of the second automatic continuous hit in the first automatic continuous hit, it is possible for the player not to know which automatic continuous hit, and as a result, the numerical value of the last expected degree notification is given. Expectations can be postponed until they are displayed.

  Next, an example of an effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 (1) shows a screen configuration when the pseudo symbol normally changes. Specifically, in the pseudo-symbol display unit arranged almost in the center of the screen, the left-middle-right pseudo-symbol is variably displayed, and the lower left corner of the screen informs the first reserved storage number by the number of reserved symbols. The first special figure reserved storage number display area is arranged, and similarly, the second special figure reserved storage number display area is arranged at the lower right corner of the screen.

  (2) of FIG. 22 shows a screen configuration at the time of continuous hit effect. Specifically, the pseudo-symbol display section that was arranged in the center of the screen is reduced and moved to the upper right of the screen, and below that, a downward arrow with a character string of "repeated hits" and a figure showing the game button 67. The operation instruction display unit in which the and are arranged is arranged, and the continuous hit production progress display unit in which the five-stage meter display unit and the expectation degree display unit are arranged on the left half of the screen is arranged.

  (3) of FIG. 23 is a display example showing that the continuous hit effect is in progress (the continuous hit effect progresses to two stages). When the player repeatedly hits the game button 67 or automatically hits the simulated game button 67 repeatedly, the arrow and the button graphic of the hit instruction display section move up and down in response to the operation, and in response to the movement. Sound effect is output from the speaker. The sound effect in this case outputs a common sound effect (for example, a van) during the manual operation and the second automatic continuous hit, but outputs a different effect sound (for example, bacoon) during the first automatic continuous hit. .

  When the number of manual continuous strokes or automatic pseudo repeated strokes reaches the set number, the scales on the meter display unit are sequentially turned on from the bottom according to the control for advancing the effect.

  FIG. 23 (4) is a display example showing a case where the continuous hit effect has advanced to the final stage. When the continuous hit production progresses to the final stage and all the scales are lit, a numerical value indicating the expected jackpot during the change is displayed as a percentage. In the example shown, 60% is displayed, indicating that the degree of expectation is somewhat high.

  In the present embodiment, the display content is the same as the manual repeated hits during the automatic repeated hits, but during the automatic repeated hits, for example, a character string of "auto" may be displayed on the effect pattern display device 6.

  The above is the description of the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, when the player starts the automatic continuous hit by long pressing the game button 67, either the first automatic continuous hit (small interval) or the second automatic continuous hit (large interval) is continued while the long press is continued. However, if the expected degree of the fluctuation determined at the time of receiving the fluctuation instruction command is high, the ratio of performing the first automatic continuous hit is high. With this configuration, it is possible to make the player have an interest in which automatic continuous hit is performed when the automatic continuous hit is started.

  Furthermore, when performing the first automatic continuous hit, a sound effect different from that during other continuous hits is output. Therefore, when the pseudo operation is performed, the difference in the sound effect output according to the operation is different. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the degree of expectation is high or low.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. The components that make up the pachinko gaming machine and the electrical connections thereof in the second embodiment are common to those in the first embodiment, and the portions that have no special description are common contents and redundant description will be omitted.

  The second embodiment has a configuration in which the degree of expectation in the case of performing the first automatic repeated hits and the degree of expectation in the case of performing the second automatic repeated hits are reversed with respect to the first embodiment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, the selection ratio between the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit at the time of a big hit is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the selection ratio at the time of losing is reversed from that of the first embodiment. (The ratio of selecting the second automatic continuous hit when lost is 1/10). As a result, when the second automatic continuous hit is performed, an effect having a high degree of expectation for the player is performed (when the automatic continuous hitting means of the present invention performs the second automatic continuous hit, the player is in the privilege state. The degree of expectation of shifting to the privilege state is higher than that in the case of performing the shift or performing the first automatic repeated hits ”.

  In the present embodiment as well, the same effect mode as in the first embodiment is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, and when the player repeatedly hits the game button 67 or performs a continuous hit operation of the pseudo game button 67 by an automatic hit, the consecutive hits are performed. The arrow and button graphic on the instruction display unit move up and down, and a sound effect is output from the speaker according to the movement. As the sound effect in this case, a common sound effect (for example, a bang) is output during the manual operation and the first automatic continuous hit, but a different sound effect (for example, bacoon) is output during the second automatic continuous hit. .

  With this sound effect output, when the second automatic repeated hit is performed, a different effect sound is output than when other repeated hits are performed. Therefore, when the pseudo operation is performed, it is output according to the operation. Based on the difference in the sound effect, it is possible to determine whether the degree of expectation is high or low, and it is possible to provide a surprising game in which the degree of expectation is high although the continuous hit speed is slow. Further, instead of outputting the sound effect in response to the operation, the output sound effect may be configured to prompt the operation tempo of the game button 67, and the rhythm and the melody can be obtained by the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit. Different sound effects may be output.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. The components that make up the pachinko gaming machine and the electrical connections thereof in the third embodiment are common to those in the first embodiment, and the portions that have no special description are common contents, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  In the first and second embodiments, the continuous hit production is advanced by one step each time the number of continuous hits reaches the set number, but in the third embodiment, each operation of continuous hits (pseudo every operation in automatic continuous hit). Each time, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the production is to be advanced, and when the winning is won, the production is to be advanced.

  Specifically, in the first and second embodiments, the number of operations for advancing the continuous striking effect is set according to the content of FIG. 19 (2), but in the third embodiment, the probability of the lottery performed at each operation is shown. The number of operations of 19 (2) is set as the denominator. For example, in the case of the continuous hit effect pattern 1, the probability of 1/2, 1/4, and 1/5 is selected each time the continuous hit effect is advanced in the manual operation, and is 1/4 in the automatic continuous hit. The probabilities of 1/5, 1/6, and 1/7 are selected each time the continuous hit effect is advanced. Therefore, in the present embodiment, this lottery probability is set as the continuous shot effect pattern in the continuous shot effect setting process (S925) of the variation instruction command reception process shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the lottery probability is set every time the continuous hit production progresses, but the lottery probability that is initially set is used in all lottery (the lottery probability does not change from the initially set one). ) Is good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the continuous shot effect execution process (S1045) of the continuous shot effect execution process shown in FIG. 18 is performed by a lottery for advancing the effect (probably turning on the meter) for which the probability is set for each continuous hit effect pattern. It is judged whether or not it has been won, and if it is won, it sends an instruction to proceed with the production, specifically, an instruction signal to display the increased lighting of the meter, and if the meter is lit up to the final stage, it will be a big hit. An instruction signal for displaying a numerical value indicating the degree of expectation is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. If the consecutive hits are performed until the numerical value of the expected degree is displayed, the consecutive hit effect is ended and the consecutive hit execution flag is set to 0 even if the execution timer does not reach zero.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the automatic continuous hit effect progress processing (S1060) of the continuous hit effect execution processing shown in FIG. 18 is the type of the automatic continuous hit that has been set at the time of the change instruction command reception processing (first automatic continuous hit or second automatic continuous hit). ), The pseudo control corresponding to the continuous operation of the game button 67 is performed at a predetermined interval, and the probability set effect is advanced for each pseudo automatic continuous hit ( It is determined whether or not the lottery for increasing the meter) has been won, and if it has been won, an instruction signal for changing the display mode (increase lighting of the meter) is produced as in the continuous striking effect in S1045. If the meter is lit up to the final stage, an instruction signal for displaying a numerical value indicating the degree of expectation of a big hit is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82.

  Further, in the automatic continuous hitting of the present embodiment, even though the automatic continuous hitting 1 and the automatic continuous hitting 2 have the same lottery probability at the time of each pressing, the progress speed of the continuous hitting effect is short because the pseudo pressing frequency is different within a predetermined period. It will be faster on average. In addition, in order to have a clear difference in the progress speed of the continuous hit production between the automatic continuous hit 1 and the automatic continuous hit 2, the lottery probabilities set for the automatic continuous hit 1 and the automatic continuous hit 2 may be different probabilities.

  The above is the description of the embodiment. In the embodiment, the continuous hit production was carried out during the change until the confirmation display of the hit determination result, but the continuous hit production progress display section is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in the big hit game state, and the high probability game state after the big hit game is finished. The degree of expectation to shift to, or the degree of expectation that the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game will continue up to 14 rounds may be notified.

  In the embodiment, the consecutive hit effect is advanced by one step every time the number of consecutive hits reaches the set number, but a lottery is performed for each operation to decide whether or not the effect is advanced, and the effect is advanced when the winning is achieved. Good.

  In addition, it is configured to notify the expectation by hitting repeatedly until all the scales of the meter are lit, but when all the meters are lit, it is a big hit (or a high probability after the big hit game, the number of consecutive big hits is the maximum number of continuations) It is also conceivable that, if it is lost, no matter how many consecutive hits the scale of the meter does not light up. With this configuration, it is possible to give the sensation of performing repeated hits in order to pull the jackpot by itself.

  Further, the production mode of the repeated hit production is not limited to the one in which the scale of the meter is increased according to the number of repeated hits shown in the embodiment, and may be an effect suitable for the repeated hit operation, for example, a bullet depending on the repeated hits. It can be said that the production of displaying the expectation level or confirming the big hit if the target is destroyed by launching a missile or a missile is suitable for the continuous hitting operation.

  In the present embodiment, there are two types of automatic continuous hits, the first automatic continuous hit and the second automatic continuous hit, but it is also possible to have a configuration in which the types are further increased, in which case it is clearer than the continuous hit speed manually performed by the player. It is possible to provide an entertaining gaming machine by providing an automatic continuous hit at a high continuous hit speed (a speed that cannot be manually performed) or an apparently slow automatic continuous hit. Further, not only the ball game machine, but also a rotating body game machine can be installed as an effect that suggests the degree of expectation of shifting to the privilege game.

  As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present invention, a plurality of continuous hit effects are provided according to the degree of expectation of shifting to the privilege game, and the player is made to recognize the degree of expectation by the difference in the repeated hit effect to be performed. It is possible to configure. Therefore, it can be applied to a game machine provided with an operating means.
