Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly, to a ball game machine for carrying out a lottery as to whether or not a big hit should be generated due to a winning at a starting opening.

  The pachinko machine which is a ball game machine, when the game ball enters the starting opening, a random number value for winning / losing determination is extracted, a lottery is performed based on the random number value, and the variation of the symbol starts on the symbol display device. At the same time, 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 win, the special winning opening is opened to execute a big hit game advantageous to the player. The type of so-called "digi pachi" is the main type.

  In addition, the conventional pachinko machine has a type called a mixer that fuses a digital pachinko machine and a feather-shaped pachinko machine, and this mixer, like the digital pachinko machine, has a game configuration in which the big hit is determined by the design. , A so-called "feathering" game structure in which a big hit occurs when a game ball enters a specific area provided inside an accessory opened under predetermined conditions, and two game structures.

  Such a mixer determines whether or not the game ball has entered the symbol starting port, and when the result of the determination is a big hit, it activates the condition device and the accessory continuous operation device to activate the digital pattern. The same big hit game is performed, and when the result of the hit determination is a small hit, only the condition device is operated to perform the small hit game in which the big winning opening is opened for a short time. When the game ball that entered the big prize hole by this small hit game enters the specific area provided in the big prize hole, the accessory continuous operation device operates and the big hit game similar to the digital pachi is started. Become.

  Further, as a specific game content of such a mixer, in a normal state, a win / loss determination is made due to the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening, and when the result of the win / loss determination is a big hit, a big hit game. After the big hit game is completed, it is set to the extended extension state in which the ordinary electric auditors thing that becomes the second start opening frequently operates, and when the second start entrance is entered, the small hit winning probability is set to a normal value. At the time of playing, you can enjoy a game aiming at a symbol hit that is the game property of Digipachi, and a game aiming at a role hit that is the game property of feathers when the opening extension function is activated with one game machine There is. <Patent Document 1>

JP, 2012-050608, A

  However, in the conventional mixer, in order to fully enjoy the playability of the feathers, it is necessary to make a big hit during the normal game and acquire the extended extension state, so in recent years, there is a chance of hitting the accessory even during the normal game. It is considered to give a variety of ways of hitting.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel game property by giving a chance of winning a plurality of winning objects having different advantages as well as a symbol during a normal game of the mixing machine.

The ball game machine according to claim 1,
It is equipped with a first special figure starting port that can always enter the ball, a second special figure starting port provided in the variable winning device, and a universal figure operating port.
A special figure validity determining means for determining whether or not the ball is hit due to a ball entering the first special figure starting port or the second special figure starting port;
A universal figure validity determining means for determining the validity due to the ball entering the universal figure working opening,
Based on the fact that the universal figure winning / judgment determining means determines that the universal figure has been won, a universal figure winning game for opening the variable winning device
A small hit game that opens a special winning opening with a specific area based on the special figure hit determination means determining a small hit,
A jackpot game that is executed based on that the special figure hit determination means determines that it is a big hit, or that the game ball has passed the specific area and a winning jackpot game in the small hit game,
A ball-and-ball game machine capable of imparting an open extension state in which it is easier to enter a ball into the variable winning device after the big hit game,
A first game area in which game balls that are fired at a predetermined launch strength mainly flow down, and a second game area in which game balls that are fired at a predetermined fire strength or higher mainly flow down are provided.
At least the first special figure starting port is provided in the first game area, at least the variable winning device is provided in the second game area, and the universal figure operation port is provided in the first game area and the second game area. To each one,
The special figure hit determination means sets the probability of judging the second special figure starting port as the small hit in comparison with the first special drawing starting port to be high, and the contents of the big hit game or the opening extension. advantageously set the contents of the state,
The passing rate of the specific area is lower in the small hitting game caused by the ball entering the second special map starting port than in the small hitting game caused by the ball entering the first special map starting port. Provided,
At least prior to the universal figure propriety determination means, a pre-reading determination means for making a determination regarding the propriety due to the ball entering the universal figure working opening,
In the normal gaming state, a pre-reading notice that expects the variable winning device to be opened based on the judgment of the pre-reading judging means is provided.

  A configuration is preferable in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entry of the game sphere into the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port, and whether or not to win the jackpot is determined by lottery ( Big hit) In addition to the random number for determination, random numbers used to determine the type of symbol according to the lottery result of the random number for jackpot determination and the variable display time until the symbol is derived and displayed, for example, It may be a big hit, a small hit, a random number for design determination of random, a random number for reach determination, a random number for variation pattern determination, and may be configured to have a random number to be used and a random number not to be used according to the result of the hit / miss judgment. Moreover, the extraction time of the random number value is not limited to the time of entering the game ball into the starting opening, but may be the time of executing the hit determination performed at the start of the fluctuation of the symbol. Similarly, a configuration is preferable in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the first universal operation port and the second universal operation port.

  The first universal figure working port, the second universal figure working port When entering the ball, a random number for determining whether or not the variable prize winning device operates (universal figure validity determination), a random number for determining the winning symbol, and a normal symbol It may be a random value that determines the fluctuation time of. In addition, the operation contents of the variable winning device may be determined based on the determined winning symbol, or the operation contents of the variable winning device may be determined according to the value of the random number for determining whether or not the winning is achieved ( Operation determination means).

  It is preferable that the game ball that has entered the special winning opening at the time of the small hit game of the second special drawing has a predetermined probability of entering the specific area. For example, a game ball is provided in the special winning opening, and a game ball is provided. The inside structure of the accessory that sorts out the different routes is preferable.

  If it is a general pachinko gaming machine that has a center case equipped with a performance display device at approximately the center of the game area, it is "the first game area in which a game ball shot with a launch strength less than a predetermined launch strength 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 discharged with a launch strength equal to or higher than a predetermined launch strength flows down" is the game ball from the right side of the center case. The range of flow down corresponds.

  The first start opening is arranged at a position where a game ball flowing down the first game area can enter, and the variable winning device serving as the second start opening is a position where a game ball flowing down the second game area can enter. Since it is arranged in, in the case of changing the first special symbol and in the case of changing the second special symbol, it is necessary to separate the game balls by changing the firing strength in the first game area and the second game area. It becomes a composition.

  When the second opening (opening of the variable winning device advantageous to the player) is performed based on the winning of the normal symbol, and when the jackpot game is performed based on the winning of the predetermined jackpot symbol of the first special symbol Since the "effect that prompts the player to enter a specific area" displayed on the effect symbol display device is an effect display that informs the player of a common sense of expectation, the effect may be the same content. Can be any common presentation content that informs that it is a chance to win a big hit of the accessory.

  In addition, "when the big hit game is performed based on the winning of a predetermined big hit symbol of the first special symbol", for example, it is almost impossible to expect to win a prize ball at the special winning opening, but a time saving is given a small number of times. If it is provided as such, it is possible to make the chance to win the big hit of the character suddenly during the normal game several times, and the second opening is performed based on the winning of the normal symbol as a sense of game. It can be regarded as a series of multiple times (depending on the number of times saved).

  The high probability state transition means that transitions the winning probability of the universal figure win / fail judgment to the high probability state in which the probability of winning is higher than the normal probability state, the trigger of its implementation is the opening time that the variable winning device opens after the jackpot game ends. It may be the same as the opening extension means for extending or / and increasing the number of times of opening than in the normal gaming state.

  In the normal game state (normal figure normal probability state and open extension means unimplemented state), if the normal symbol is won, the variable winning device may open the game ball easily every time, easy to enter A configuration in which only one type of open pattern is provided may be used.

  The case where the variable winning device is opened based on the winning of the normal symbol and the case where the jackpot game is performed based on the winning of the predetermined jackpot symbol of the first special symbol are displayed on the effect symbol display device. The "effect to prompt the player to enter a specific area" is a common effect display, and specifically, it may be any content as long as it is a chance to win a big hit of the accessory.

  According to the ball game machine according to claim 1, while giving the opportunity to win the big hit in both the symbol big hit and the second special figure small hit from the normal big game, for example, the first special symbol Many big hits can not be expected in the big hit of the predetermined big hit pattern, but by making the transition to the expected time saving state of the character big hit after the big hit game for a predetermined period, the predetermined big hit pattern of the first special symbol Both of the jackpot win and the winning of the ordinary symbol that performs the second opening can generate expectations for the jackpot hit at the time of the win. However, since the expected variation period of the second special symbol is different between the predetermined jackpot symbol of the first special symbol and the second open symbol symbol of the ordinary symbol, the variation period is more likely even if the payout cannot be expected. A game can be performed while expecting a big hit of a predetermined big hit pattern of the long first special symbol.

  In addition, in the situation where any lottery is being performed, the same effect is given to two lottery results of different types and triggers, with the normal symbol hit and the predetermined big hit symbol of the first special symbol. Can also play games while expecting the occurrence of a jackpot.

The device 6 is controlled to display an effect image such as a pseudo pattern. It should be noted that the sub integrated control device 83 and the main control device 80 are configured as a one-way communication circuit from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 via the production relay terminal board 65, and the sub integrated control device 83 The effect design control device 82 is configured as a one-way communication circuit from the sub integrated control device 83 to the effect design control device 82.

  Next, the operation content of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described using the chart shown in FIG. The pachinko machine in this embodiment has an opening extension function for changing the actuation timing and the operating time of the ordinary electric accessory 16, and has two opening patterns for the ordinary electric accessory 16 when the opening extension function is not activated. There is. Specifically, the probability of hitting a regular pattern is always 95/100 regardless of whether the opening extension function is activated or not, and when the opening extension function is not activated, there is a probability of 94/100 for the first opening of 0.2 seconds once. (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 if the opening extension function is not activated, if the second opening is performed with a probability of 1/100, it is possible to easily insert the game ball into the ordinary electric accessory 16.

  When the opening extension function is activated, the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to perform the opening operation for 6.0 seconds once for each hit of the ordinary symbol. In addition, the variation pattern (variation time) of the first and second special symbols in the gaming state in which the opening extension function operates (opening extension state) is the variation pattern selection table used in the gaming state when the opening extension function is not operating. The variation pattern selection table is set so that the average variation time is shorter than the average variation time. As a result, the number of times the special symbol fluctuates per unit time when the opening extension function is activated is increased compared to when the opening extension function is not activated (time saving state). This time saving function is the activation of the opening extension function. It operates in the same way as when it started and ended.

  In addition, when the opening extension function is operated, the time saving function of shortening the variation time of the ordinary symbol (increasing the number of variations of the ordinary symbol per unit time) is also configured. Specifically, the variation time of the normal symbol in the normal state when the opening extension function is not activated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the variation time of the ordinary symbol when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. There is. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of fluctuations of the ordinary symbol per unit time is increased, and the actuation trigger of the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. Therefore, the ball entrance rate to the ordinary electric accessory per unit time is increased, and the number of times the second special symbol is changed is increased.

  The jackpot probability of the pachinko machine in this embodiment is 1/199, which is common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and does not have a probability variation function for determining whether or not the special figure is valid. The small hit probability is 1/100 for the 1st special map and 198/199 for the 2nd special map, and if the 2nd special map fluctuates (the special map success / failure determination described below is executed), the small hit is won with a high probability. . When the first special figure wins the small hit, the second special winning opening 91 performs the opening operation for 1.0 second once, and when the second special prize wins the small hit, the second special winning opening 91 reaches 0. The opening operation for 25 seconds is performed once.

  The winning probability (V winning rate in the table) to the specific area 94 when the first special figure is a small hit game is approximately due to the entering rate to the second big winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. It becomes 1/4, and the winning probability to the specific area 94 when the second special figure is a small hit game is about 1 / by the winning rate to the second big winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. It is set to be 16.

  When the first special figure is a big hit with a pattern of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (rate of 5/10), the big winning game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds) Or open 9 counts). In this case, after the jackpot game is over, it does not shift to the time saving state (open extension state) (4 round time saving no symbol).

  When the first special figure is a big hit with the symbols 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 (5/10 ratio), the big winning game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds) Open or 9 count), and after the jackpot game is finished, it will be in a short time state (open extension state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds short time 99 times pattern).

  When the second special figure is a big hit with the symbols 0, 4, and 8 (ratio of 3/10), the first big winning opening 14 opens the big round for 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open or 9 Count). In this case, after the jackpot game is over, it does not shift to the time saving state (open extension state) (4 round time saving no symbol).

  When the first special figure is a big hit with the symbols 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, (ratio of 7/10), the first special winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds. 29.0 seconds open or 9 count) is carried out, and after the big hit game, it will be in a shortened state (open extension state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds shortened 99 times pattern). Therefore, in the case where the second special figure is a big hit in the symbol, the opening special state is shifted to the extended extension state after the big hit game 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 the symbols A, E, and I, the game ball that entered the second special winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94. When a bonus jackpot occurs, the first jackpot 14 carries out a jackpot game in which four rounds are opened (up to 29.0 seconds per round or 9 counts). In this case, after the jackpot game is over, it does not shift to the time saving state (open extension state) (4 round time saving no symbol).

  The game ball that won the second special winning opening 91 when the first special figure or the second special figure was a small hit (7/10 ratio) with the design of B, C, D, F, G, H, J When a player hits the specific area 94 and a character big hit occurs, the first big winning opening 14 carries out a big hit game that opens 16 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open or 9 counts), and big hit game After the end, it will be in a shortened state (open extension state) until the special map changes 99 times (16 rounds shortened 99 times pattern).

  In the present embodiment, the value of the big hit game is the same specification regardless of whether the small hit of the first special drawing or the second special drawing causes the big hit of the character, but the small value of the first special drawing with a low occurrence frequency. It is conceivable that, when the winning of the accessory big hit occurs from the hit, it is advantageous for the player by giving more rounds on average and increasing the ratio of the time saving state. In this way, at the time of the normal game, if the small hit game according to the first special figure occurs while hoping that the symbols that will be the big hit will be aligned, it becomes an opportunity to win an advantageous big hit game, and the expectation is very high. It can be a game. Of course, it is also possible to set the opposite disadvantage, in that case, the main jackpot pattern is mainly aligned during the normal game, and the character jackpot by the small hit of the first special figure is provided as a secondary existence. You can also By lowering the value in comparison, it is possible to increase the probability of small hits and increase the winning rate to the specific area 94 as much as the present embodiment.

  By setting the operation contents to the above contents, in the normal game (non-open extension state), by flowing the game ball into the first game area 3a, the first special figure based on the ball entering the first starting opening 11 If the game proceeds mainly by lottery and the symbol big hit of the first special figure occurs, if there is a 50% chance that the big hit game ends and the game moves to the open extension state (time saving state), then the game ball flows down to the second game area 3b. The main game is the lottery of the second special map, and after the transition, there is a 70% chance that the open extension state (time saving state) will be continued.

  Moreover, in the normal game (non-open extension state), the small hit of the first special figure occurs at 1/100, and the small hit of the second special figure is the normal symbol at 1/100 and the second open (so-called long open). ) Occurs with a probability of 198/199, and substantially 1/100 (normal pattern) occurs. Therefore, there is a 1/100 chance that a character big hit will occur in both the first special map and the general map, but the specific area 94 winning rate during the small hit game is set to be higher during the small hit of the first special map. Therefore, there is a structure in which the interest is born in which symbol (the first special map or the general map) to win the winning of 1/100. Of course, the small hit probability of the first special figure and the probability of the second opening of the ordinary symbol may be different.

  Next, the main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is executed periodically by a hard interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S75 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S80 which is repeatedly executed within the time left after executing this main process as long as time permits. 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 special symbols and normal symbols as the initial symbol) Each initial value is written to the work area of (S15) (S15), and the process proceeds to the residual process (initial random number updating 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), variation 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 first big winning opening 14, the second big winning opening 91, the general winning opening 31, and the first winning opening 1 normal symbol operation gate 15, the second normal symbol operation gate 17, confirmation of the ball entering the specific area 94, and the input processing of each switch connected to the main controller 80 provided in the pachinko machine 50 is executed. . The winning (winning) confirmation processing (starting winning processing) for each of the starting opening and the working opening will be described later with reference to FIG.

  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, with reference to FIG. 6, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described. This processing is one of the subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S60) shown in FIG. 5 (including a holding storage means, a pre-reading determination means, a holding storage number transmission means, and a winning signal transmission means).

  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 first normal symbol starting gate 15, and the second normal symbol starting gate 17 will be described as a reserved memory that is stored when the game ball passes through as a universal figure reserved memory. In this embodiment, the upper limit number of the first reserved storage is 4, the upper limit number of the second reserved storage is 1, and the upper limit number of the universal figure reserved storage is 4.

  When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the first starting opening switch 11a detects a game ball (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of first reserved memories already stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105). If an affirmative determination (S105: yes), various random number values such as win / fail random numbers (big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers 1 and 2, small hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers Etc.) are stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80 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 big hit determination random number is a value that causes a big hit, and if it is the big hit value, the kind of the big hit symbol is confirmed. If the big hit judgment is lost, check whether it is a value that causes a small hit, and if it is a small hit value, check the type of the small hit pattern. If it is a big hit or a small hit, check the type of the lost design (pre-reading determination means).

  Subsequently, the first prefetch determination command is generated based on the prefetch determination result of S115 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S120), and the first hold indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110 is held. The number instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). In the present embodiment, the first prefetch determination command and the first hold number instruction command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as separate commands, but the contents of these two commands are generated as one command and the sub command is generated. A configuration of transmitting to the integrated control device 83 is also conceivable.

  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 the number of the second reserved storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 1). (S135). If it is a negative determination (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if it is a positive determination (S135: yes), various random number values such as the winning and rejecting random numbers (random numbers for jackpot determination, random numbers for jackpot symbol determination 1, 2 and jackpot symbol determination) Random numbers, random numbers for reach determination, random numbers for determining fluctuation patterns, etc.) are extracted and stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80 as a second reserved memory, and a second number indicating the number of second reserved memories. The pending storage counter is incremented by 1 (S140), and the pre-reading determination of the stored second pending storage is performed similarly to S115 (S145). In this embodiment, since the upper limit number of the second reserved storage is one, only the presence or absence of the second reserved storage may be checked and the second reserved storage can be stored.

  Subsequently, a second hold count instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140 by generating a second prefetch determination command based on the result of the determination in S145 and transmitting it to the sub integrated control device 83 (S150). 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), and if the determination is negative (S160: no), 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 procedure returns to the return. If S160 or S165 is affirmative (S160: yes, S165: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of universal figure 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 return, and if the determination is positive (S170: yes), the extracted random numbers for hit determination, random numbers for determination of winning symbols, random numbers for determination of universal figure fluctuation patterns are stored as universal figure pending storage. Then, 1 is added to the universal figure pending storage counter indicating the number of universal figure pending storage (S175), 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. (S180), 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 notice that expects the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 (second starting opening 12).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, the universal figure validity determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process is a process corresponding to the universal figure validity determination of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the normal electric auditors product 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in operation (S200), and if the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process (1) described later. If it is a negative determination (S200: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S205), and if it is not changing (S205: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed symbol of the normal symbol is being displayed. (S210), if the confirmation display is not in progress (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is a universal figure holding memory (S215), and if a negative determination is made (S215: no), the routine game process is executed.

  If the determination in S215 is affirmative, that is, if there is a universal figure pending storage (S215: yes), shift processing of the universal figure pending storage to be determined is performed (S220). As a result, the oldest universal figure pending storage is set as the object of judgment, and 1 is subtracted from the universal figure pending storage counter indicating the number of pending storages.

  Subsequently, the random number for hit determination of the universal figure pending storage, which is the target of the universal figure hit determination, is compared with a preset hit determination table (95/100), and the random number value of the determination target is the hit determination table. It is compared with the judgment value in (S230).

  Following S230, it is determined whether or not the comparison result is a hit (the same as the determination value) (S240), and if the determination is affirmative (S240: yes), it is determined based on the value of the random number for determining the winning symbol as the determination target. A symbol selection process is performed per figure (S245). Based on the type of the winning symbol determined by this universal symbol winning symbol selection process, the opening mode of the normal electric accessory 16 is the first opening (0.2 seconds once short opening) or the second opening (6.0 seconds). One long opening) is decided.

  Subsequently, the variation pattern selection table for selecting the variation pattern is determined by referring to the time saving flag (S250), and the universal figure variation pattern selection process is performed based on the random number for determining the universal figure variation pattern (S255), and the selected hit symbol is selected. And the process of starting the variation of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 7 is performed based on the variation pattern (S260), and proceeds to the normal electric game process.

  The time saving flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is 1, the variation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is shortened, and the time saving state in which the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory 16 operates ( When the value is 0, the main control unit 80 determines that it is in the non-time saving state (non-open extension state).

  If S240 is a negative determination, that is, if the comparison result is out (S240: no), referring to the time saving flag (S250), the universal figure variation pattern selection process for deviation variation is performed (S255), and the selected outlier symbol and variation pattern. Based on the normal symbol display device 7 performs a process to start the variation of the normal symbol (S260), the process proceeds to the ordinary game process.

  S205 is affirmative determination, that is, if the normal symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 8 to determine whether the variation time of the normal symbol (based on the variation pattern selected in S255) has elapsed. (S300). If negative determination (S300: no), proceed to the ordinary electric game processing, if affirmative determination (S300: yes), control the normal symbol display device 7 to confirm and display the normal symbol which is the result of the judgment of the general symbol. Definite symbol display processing is performed (S305).

  Subsequent to S305, it is determined whether or not the confirmed and normally displayed symbol is a winning symbol (S310), and if the determination is negative (S310: no), the game proceeds to the normal electric game processing, and if the determination is affirmative (S310: yes), the time saving flag is set. Is 0, that is, it is determined whether or not it is in a normal state (S315) If negative determination (S315: no) proceeds to Hoden game processing, if affirmative determination (S315: yes), confirm display as a winning symbol Ordinary It is determined whether or not the type of symbol is a winning symbol that implements the second opening (S320) If the determination is negative (S320: no), the game proceeds to the Hoden game processing, and if the determination is affirmative (S320: yes), there is a chance of a big hit of the character. An instruction signal for displaying a "V challenge effect" (corresponding to an effect of prompting entry into a specific area of the present invention) for notifying that there is is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S325), and the normal electric game process is performed. To. The process 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 S210 is affirmative, that is, if the normal symbol is being confirmed and displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 9, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed (S350), negative. If it is determined (S350: no), it proceeds to the ordinary electric game process, and if it is affirmative determination (S350: yes), the fixed symbol display of the normal symbol display device 7 is ended (S355), and the ordinary electric game process is shifted to.

  The above is the universal figure appropriateness determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the present embodiment. In this process, when the hit of the ordinary electric auditors product 16 performing the second opening is determined (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. Although it is configured to send to, the start of fluctuation of the second special figure that a small hit occurs at a high probability at this point is almost a certainty (ordinary electric power accessory 16 is opened to the second game area 3b If the ball is made to flow down, the processing will be performed based on the fact that the game ball enters the second starting opening 12 without a doubt).

  The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the V-challenge effect display instruction command expects a big hit that the first special winning opening 14 operates when the normal design in the normal state hits the predetermined winning design (the second open design). It will be carried out production. Although it is necessary to go through a plurality of stages at this point, it can be said that the expectation of occurrence of a big hit (specifically, a character big hit from the second special figure small hit) suddenly increases from the normal state.

  Next, with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the ordinary electric game processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric auditors object performed based on the hit determination in the universal figure hit / miss determination process (1), and is a process including the operation determination means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the normal electric auditors product 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in the opening operation (S400), and if it is not in operation (S400: no), the normal symbol is a winning design confirmed and displayed. It is determined (S410), if the determination is negative (S410: no), the process returns, if the determination is positive (S410: yes), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 (S415), and if the determination is positive (S415: yes). , It is determined whether or not the hit symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a symbol that implements the first opening (short opening) (S420), and if the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the ordinary electric auditors product 16 makes the first opening (0. The operation start processing for performing the operation for 2 seconds once) is performed (S425), and if S420 is negative determination (S420: no), the operation start for the ordinary electric auditors product 16 to perform the second opening (6.0 seconds once) Perform processing (S4 0) to return. If the determination in S415 is negative, that is, if the opening extension function is operating in the time saving state (S415: no), the operation start of the ordinary electric accessory 16 performing the opening operation in the opening extension state (5.0 seconds once) Processing is performed (S435) and the process returns.

  If S400 is affirmative, that is, if the ordinary electric auditors product is operating (S400: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11, and it is determined whether ten gaming balls have been won in the operating ordinary electric auditors product 16 ( S450), if negative determination (S450: no), it is determined whether or not the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory 16 has ended (S455), and if negative determination (S455: no), the process returns. If S450 or S455 is affirmative (S450: yes, S455: yes), the operation ending process for the ordinary electric auditors product 16 is performed (S460), and the process returns.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the special figure validity determination process 1 executed by the main control device 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process, the variable display time selection of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the fixed symbol selection, the contents setting of the big hit game according to the result of the hit determination and the hit determination of the first holding memory and the second holding memory, It becomes a process of setting the game state after the big hit game, and includes the small hit determination means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is operating, that is, whether the special winning opening is operating (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process returns, and if the determination is negative (S500: no), It is determined whether or not the first or second special map is changing (S505), and if it is not changing (505: no), it is judged whether or not the final symbol of the first or second special map is being displayed. (S510), if the confirmation display is not in progress (S510: no), it is determined whether or not the second holding memory is present (S515), and if the negative determination is made (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the first holding memory is present. If the determination is negative (S520) (S520: no), the process returns. If S515 or S520 is a positive determination (S515: yes, S520: yes), the process proceeds to S525. According to the determination order of S515 and S520, the second pending storage preferentially performs the success / failure determination.

  In S525, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 0 (S525), and a negative determination is made, that is, if the time saving state and the open extension state (S525: no), the processing in the time saving state is performed, but in the time saving state, the result of the acceptance / rejection determination is The description will be omitted because the selection table of the variation pattern to be selected is different from that of the related art.

  If the determination in S525 is affirmative, that is, if it is in the normal state (S525: yes), the shift process of the reserved storage is performed (S530). As a result, the earliest (first elapse of time after being stored on hold) the first or second held storage is set as the object of the hit / fail judgment, and 1 is subtracted from the held storage counter indicating the corresponding held storage.

  In the subsequent jackpot determination random number comparison processing, the jackpot determination random number in the pending storage that is the target of the special figure hit determination is compared with a preset hit determination table, and the value of the jackpot determination random number is stored in the hit determination table. It is compared with the judgment value of (S535).

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

  Subsequently, the big hit symbol selection processing is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the big hit symbol determination random number 2 (S550). 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, mode buffer setting processing is performed based on the symbol mode set in S545 (S555). 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). As the mode buffer, the specific game content is not stored, but the value corresponding to the specific game content is stored.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S545, the opening pattern setting process of the first special winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S560), and the reach of the first or second reserved memory which is the object of the win / fail judgment. Based on the determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, and the variation pattern to be the variation time of the symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 Pattern selection processing is performed (S565).

  Then, the information of the selected jackpot pattern 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 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 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 S540 is a negative determination, that is, if it is a loss (S540: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison process of S535 is a small hit (S580). In this embodiment, the small winning 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 small winning). If S580 is affirmative (S580: yes), based on the gaming state, and the small hit symbol determination random number based on the random number for symbol determination (S585), based on the type of special drawing that is the target of the winning or losing half The opening pattern setting process of the second special winning opening 91 is performed (S560), the above-mentioned variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S565), and the variation instruction command which becomes the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern is sub-selected. It transmits to the integrated control apparatus 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 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 S580 is a negative determination (S580: no), a lost symbol is selected (S590), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S565), 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 (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 which has received this information, and starts the variable display of the pseudo symbol based on the information of the lost symbol and the variation pattern. 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.

  Next, if S505 is affirmative, that is, if the special symbol is changing (S505: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13, and the special symbol changing time (based on the changing pattern selected in S565) has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (S600). If negative determination (S600: no) returns, if positive determination (S600: yes), the confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled. Then, the confirmed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is confirmed and displayed (S605). Upon receiving the confirmation command, the sub integrated control device 83 transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the previously selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82, in accordance with the signal, the effect symbol display device. 6 is controlled and the pseudo symbol is fixedly displayed. Thereby, the start and end of the variation of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol become the same timing (synchronized).

  Following 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 jackpot symbol (S610), and if the determination is affirmative (S610). : Yes), a fixed symbol display setting process (setting of the time to display the fixed symbol) is performed (S615), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1 (S620), and if the determination is affirmative (S620: yes), The time saving flag is set to 0 (S625), and subsequent to the negative determination (S620: no) in S625 or S620, the conditional device operation starting process (S630) and the accessory continuous operating device operation starting process (S635) are executed. The big hit game is started by performing, the 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, S610 is a negative determination, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S610: no), the fixed symbol display setting process (setting of the time to display the confirmed symbol) is performed (S650), and the time saving flag is 1 Whether or not (S655), if affirmative (S655: yes), decrement from the time saving counter (S660), determine whether the time saving counter is 0 (S665), if affirmative (S665: yes), time saving The flag is set to 0 (S670). By S655 to S670, each time the special symbol performs the loss confirmation display according to the winning / non-judgment determination, the hour / hour counters that regulate the hour / hour (open extension) state are counted, and the gaming state changes when these counters reach a predetermined value. (Time saving (open extension) state ends and shifts to normal state (normal open state)).

  Then, if S670, or S655, S665 is a negative determination (S655: no, S665: no), it is determined whether or not the special symbol confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol (S675), and if it is an affirmative determination (S675: yes). ), It is determined whether or not it is the small hit of the first special figure (S680), and if the determination is affirmative (S680: yes), the instruction signal for displaying "V challenge effect" for notifying that it is a chance of a big hit of the accessory is sub-displayed. It transmits to the integrated control apparatus 83 (S685). The effect display instructed in S685 has the same contents as the effect display instructed in S325 of the universal figure appropriateness determination process 1 described with reference to FIGS.

  At the time of the small hit of the first special symbol (when the small hit game is performed based on the small hit of the first special symbol), the second big winning hole 91 is given by the launch of the game ball to the second game area 3b. Since the winning game ball enters the specific area 94 with a winning probability of about 1/4, the number of steps until the character big hit occurs is smaller than that at the time of S325, and the expectation that the character big hit will occur is higher. It becomes a familiar feeling.

  The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the V-challenge effect display instruction command displays the same effect display on the effect pattern display device 6 as the case where the V-challenge effect display instruction command is received in S325. It will be described later with reference to the drawings.

  After S685, the first special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the small hit game of the first special figure is performed (S690), and if S680 is negative determination (S680: no), the second special figure of The second special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the small hit game is performed (S695). In addition, if the second special figure is a small hit in the normal game state (it is in the middle of a series of games from the long opening hit of the general figure to the big hit of the prize that has won the ordinary electric prize 16). A command instructing to continue the “V challenge effect” is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Following S690 or S695, the small hit flag is set to 1 (S698). Following the negative determination of S698, S643, or S675 (S675: no), a state designation command indicating the 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 S510 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S510: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has elapsed (S700), and if it is a negative determination. (S700: no) Return, if the affirmative determination (S700: yes), the fixed symbol display end process (S705) is performed, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 of 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, with reference to FIGS. 15 to 21, the special game process 1 executed by the main control device 80 in the first embodiment will be described. 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 or not the value of the small hit flag is 0 (S805). If the affirmative determination is made (S805: yes), the process returns. If the negative determination is made, that is, if the small hit game is being played (S805: no), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG.

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

  If 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 special winning opening 91 opening process is performed (S885), and the specific region 94 validation process is performed (S890). After the processing of S890 or if the determination of S880 is negative (S880: no), the process returns.

  If S855 is affirmative, that is, if the second special winning opening 91 is open (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. 17, and it is determined whether 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 ended (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 S905 is negative (S905: no), the process proceeds to S950 of FIG. 18, and it is determined whether the specific area switch 94a has detected a game ball (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area activation period has ended (S1015), and if the determination is affirmative (S1015: yes), the small hit end effect processing is performed (S1020). In this small hit end production process, 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 by the control of the effect symbol control device 82 (contents for notifying that the small hit game has ended without the bonus hit). Is displayed.

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

After S965, or if S960 is negative determination (S960: no), refer to the small hit symbol (S970), based on the type of the symbol referred to, the contents of the big hit game and the gaming state after the big hit game (normal state , Time saving, open extension state) is set (S975), and the mode buffer setting process (contents common to S555) is performed based on the set symbol mode (S980), based on the symbol mode set in S975. The opening pattern setting process of the first special winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S985), the specific area invalidation process is performed (S990), and the 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 role big hit (special game). Following the negative determination (S1015: no) in S1005, S1020, or S1015, the small hit flag is set to 0 (S1010), and the process returns. The process up to this point is the processing configuration related to the small hit game.

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

  If S1055 is affirmative (S1055: yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has ended (S1085), and if negative, (S1085: no) returns, if affirmative (S1085: yes), the first big winning opening The release process of 14 is performed (S1090), and the process returns.

  If S1065 is negative (S1065: no), the big hit 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 affirmative (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 20, and it is determined whether or not the number of winnings to the first special winning opening 14 satisfies the prescribed number of nine (S1100), and if negative determination (S1100). : No), it is determined whether the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). If negative determination (S1105: no) returns, if affirmative determination (S1105: yes) or S1100 affirmative determination (S1100: no), the closing process of the first big winning opening 14 is performed (S1110), the final of the big hit game. It is determined whether the round is completed (S1115). If the determination is affirmative (S1115: yes), the jackpot end effect process is performed (S1120), and the process returns, and if the determination is negative (S1115: no), the opening interval process is performed (S1125), the process returns.

  In the big hit end effect 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 sub integrated control device 83 side that receives the big hit end command or the interval command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 by the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

  Returning to FIG. 19, if the determination in S1060 is affirmative, that is, if the big hit ending effect is being performed (S1060: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart in FIG. 21, and it is determined whether it is the end time of the big hit ending effect (S1150). (S1150: no) Return. If S1150 is affirmative (S1150: yes), the accessory continuous operation device stop process (S1155), the condition device operation stop process (S1160) is performed, and the set mode buffer is referred to (S1165). Based on the contents of the, the time saving flag and time saving counter are set (S1170, S1175), the mode buffer is cleared (S1180), the end command and the state designation command for instructing the game state after the jackpot game are finished are integrated with sub-control. It transmits to the device 83 (S1185, S1190), sets the big hit flag to 0 (S1195), and returns.

  Next, the reservation number instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not a hold number instruction command is received (S1200). If the determination is negative (S1200: no), the process returns, and if the determination is positive (S1200: yes), depending on the type of the reservation number instruction command received by the first reservation number counter or the second reservation counter included in the sub integrated control device 83. +1 (S1205), transmit the hold number display signal to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1210), and return. The value of the hold number counter is decremented every time the fluctuation instruction command is received in the fluctuation instruction command reception process described later. As a result, the same number as the number of pending storages stored in the main control device 80 is constantly managed.

  In addition, if the second special figure is provided with a hold storage function due to the characteristics of the mixer, there is a possibility that a small hit for the hold number may occur even after the time saving game ends. Since the winning rate to the specific area 94 is higher than that of the second special figure, if it is desired to avoid this, it is desirable that the second special figure does not have a reserved memory. However, in the game of this embodiment, the second special symbol may be opened when the first special symbol is variably displayed, and in that case, the second special symbol may not be drawn. is there. By providing the function of the second reserved storage in order to avoid it, it is possible to secure the chance of the lottery of the second special figure. In addition, when the holding storage function is provided for the above-mentioned purpose, if the holding upper limit number is smaller than that in the first special figure, the number of times the problem of the above-mentioned small number of holdings occurs can be suppressed. It is possible and suitable.

  Next, the variation 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 process, in response to receiving the variation instruction command based on the process of S570 from the main control device 80, the effect pattern to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected, and the effect symbol control device 82 is instructed to perform the display control. It becomes processing.

  When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not a fluctuation instruction command has been received (S1250). If a negative determination is made (S1250: no), a return is made, and if an affirmative determination is made (S1250: yes), a distribution random number is extracted (S1255), and the received ball number is decremented by -1 from the holding ball number counter provided in the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the instruction command and the value of the distribution random number extracted in S1255, the production variation mode to be displayed on the production symbol display device 6 is selected from the production variation modes provided in the sub integrated control device 83 (S1260), and is selected. The instruction signal for starting the display of the effect variation mode is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1265), and the process is returned.

  Next, the V-challenge effect display instruction command reception processing executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. The V-challenge effect display corresponds to the effect of prompting the player to enter the 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 a negative determination (S1300: no) returns, if an affirmative determination (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 example of an effect display including the above-described V challenge effect in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 25 (1) is a basic configuration of the effect symbol display device 6 screen at the time of special symbol change in the normal state, the pseudo symbol display area is arranged in the center of the screen, and the first reserved storage number display area is located at the lower left of the screen. The second reserved storage number display area capable of displaying one reserved symbol is arranged on the right side. Up to four reserved symbols representing the first reserved memory are displayed in the first reserved memory number display area. In the pseudo symbol display area, the left, middle, and right pseudo symbols perform variable display according to the variation time of the special symbol.

  FIG. 25 (2) is based on the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted by S685 (FIG. 13) of the special drawing right / wrong judgment processing 1 executed by the main control device 80 during the small hit of the first special drawing. This is a display example of the "V challenge effect" that is carried out. The specific display content is to display a plate in which the character string of "V challenge" is written in the center of the screen, and display "right hit" and a right-pointing arrow twice at the top of the plate to display the second game area 3b. The game ball is strongly urged to be displayed, the character (Kuma no Tatsuyoshi) is displayed on the upper right of the screen, and the pseudo small hit symbol is reduced and confirmed and displayed on the lower right of the screen.

  FIG. 25 (3) is for receiving the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted by S325 (FIG. 8) of the universal figure appropriateness determination process 1 executed by the main control device 80 when the ordinary symbol hits the second opening. This is a display example of "V challenge effect" that is executed based on the above. What is different from (2) is that the changing pseudo symbol is displayed in the lower right part of the screen, and other than that, the effect display is of common contents.

  In this way, when the small hit of the first special figure and the second opening of the normal symbol are hit, it may be possible to determine which one is the V challenge by looking at the effect display, and it is difficult to determine on the effect display. You may comprise. However, since it is possible to immediately determine whether the normal electric accessory 16 operates or the first special winning opening 14 operates after the effect is performed, the difficult time is short. Although it is a short time, the player's expectation expands just by making it seem like a small hit of the first special figure even for a moment, so that it is possible to make the production with high expectation. Even with a discriminable configuration, it is possible to make a production with a high degree of expectation in the same way by making it difficult to immediately know which one has occurred (for example, the discriminable portion is extremely small).

  FIG. 26 (4) shows that the game ball enters the second starting opening 12 (ordinary electric accessory 16) from the state (3) (ordinary symbol is the second open symbol and is won), and it occurs with a high probability. 2 is a display example at the time of winning the small hit of the special drawing, and in this case, a signal for instructing to continue the V challenge effect transmitted in S695 (FIG. 13) of the special drawing validity determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80. The effect display is performed on the basis of the reception of, and, in appearance, the situation is that the "V challenge effect" is continuously performed from the second open winning in the universal figure.

  The details of the display are the same as the plate of "V Challenge" and the "right-handed arrow" display in Fig. 25 (3), but the "big prize hole (bottom)" is opened at the top of the plate. Please "is displayed.

  FIG. 26 (5) is an effect display example at the time when the game ball enters the specific area 94 during the small hit game. In this case, a large "V" is displayed in the center of the screen, a character string "V challenge successful!", And a smiling character (Kuma no Tatsuyoshi) are displayed at the top of the screen. It should be noted that this display is common during the small hit of the first special figure and during the small hit of the second special figure.

  FIG. 26 (6) is a display example in the case where the game ball cannot be entered at the time of performing the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16. If the winning figure is a symbol that the second figure opens, the effect display will be performed assuming that the second special figure will be a small hit as shown in FIG. 25 (3), but the second opening will be performed. If the normal electric accessory 16 cannot be entered (if the second special figure cannot be changed), the challenge failure effect shown in the figure is displayed.

  Specifically, a large "x" is displayed in the center of the screen, and a character string "V challenge failed" and a character with a disappointing expression (Kuma no Tatsukichi) are displayed above it. Even if the small hit game is carried out and the game ball cannot be put into the specific area 94, the same display effect may be performed (first special map small hit, second special map small hit). Shareable). In that case, a common display effect is provided for a failure to enter the normal electric accessory 16 and a failure to enter the specific area 94 for the first special figure small hit and the second special figure small hit.

  The above is the description of the first embodiment. By the game specification of the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-time saving (non-open extension) state, the game in which the first special figure is changed while changing the general figure (first big winning opening 14 or second) Aiming to operate the special winning opening 91) becomes the main, and when the big hit of the first special figure ends, there is a 50% chance of shortening the time (open extension), and during the time saving state, the game of changing the second special figure becomes the main. If the second special drawing hits the symbol or the big hit during the time saving state, the time saving state will be continued with a probability of 70%.

  In addition, in the normal game state, the small hit of the first special map occurs with a probability of 1/100, and the winning judgment of the second special map is carried out by winning the symbol that opens the second with 1/100 of the general map. If this happens, the 2nd special map wins the small hit in 198/199, so that the small hit of the 2nd special map will also occur at 1 / 100th of the judgment of whether or not the general figure changes in the normal state. Become. Therefore, in the small hit (“V challenge” in the present embodiment) aiming for a big hit of the accessory, both the first special drawing and the second special drawing have different symbol types between the first special drawing and the general drawing, but they are substantially 1/100. Occurs in.

  In this way, in the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-time saving (non-open extension) state) and the first special map, the individual winning of different symbols (universal figure second opening per and first) It is configured to perform the same effect display that expects a character big hit, but even with the same effect display, the probability of entering a specific area during the small hit game is the first. Since the special figure is higher at the time of a small hit, the interest is born in which of the "V Challenges".

  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 difference from the first embodiment is that a high probability and a normal probability are set for the hit determination probability of the universal figure, and that the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of hitting the universal figure is common regardless of the game state. Become. Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 32.

  FIG. 27 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”, and in the present embodiment, the probability of determining whether or not a universal figure is normal is high. There is a probability that the ordinary electric auditors product 16 once releases 5.0 seconds if the universal figure is won in either probability of winning or losing the universal figure.

  Note that the probability of hitting or not accepting a universal figure changes at the same timing as the transition to the time saving (open extension) state. Specifically, in the time saving (open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection determination is performed with high probability (100/100), and in the non-time saving (non-open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection determination is performed with the normal probability (1/100).

  28 and 29 are flowcharts showing the universal figure validity determination process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment. The difference from the universal figure valid / improper determination processing 1 described in the first embodiment is that there are two types of regular / probability determination probabilities for the universal figure, and there is either probability depending on the value of the universal figure probability variation flag. When the universal figure acceptance / rejection determination is won in the normal state (time saving flag = 0, universal figure probability variation flag = 0), the "V challenge effect" display instruction command is unconditionally given to the sub integrated control device 83. Is transmitted (in the first embodiment, the universal figure acceptance judgment is transmitted only at the time of the second open winning).

  Specifically, in the universal figure appropriateness determination process 2, when the pending storage shift process (S1370 in FIG. 28) corresponding to S220 of the universal figure appropriateness determination process 1 is performed, it is determined whether the (general diagram) probability variation flag is 0. (S1375), if the determination is affirmative (S1375: yes), comparison processing of random numbers for universal figure determination is performed using the low probability determination table used in the normal state (S1380), and if negative determination (S1375: no), high probability. Comparison processing of random numbers for universal figure determination is performed using the high-probability determination table used in the (time saving, extended extension) state (S1385).

  Further, in FIG. 29 of the universal figure appropriateness determination processing 2 corresponding to FIG. 8 of the universal figure appropriateness determination processing 1, if the fixedly displayed universal figure is a winning symbol (S1460: yes), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 or not. Then, in the affirmative determination (S1465), that is, in the normal game state (S1465: yes), an instruction command for displaying "V challenge effect" for notifying that it is a chance to win a big hit of the character is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S1470).

  In this embodiment, the (universal figure) probability variation flag is used to determine the determination probability when the universal figure appropriateness determination process 2 is executed, but the probability is based on the value of the time saving flag (if the time saving flag = 0, the probability is low, the time saving is short). High probability may be determined if flag = 1.

  By determining whether or not the winning / deciding of the ordinary symbol changes probability, there is no need to have the first opening (short) and the second opening (long) as in the first embodiment, and every time the ordinary drawing is won in the normal state "V challenge production" can be implemented.

  FIG. 30 is the normal electric game processing 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment, and unlike the normal electric game processing 1 of the first embodiment, the normal state is the normal state at the time of symbol fixed confirmation display, the normal state. By performing the normal power operation start processing (S1515), the normal electric accessory 16 always carries out one type of opening pattern. In the present embodiment, the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to 5.0 seconds in common in the open extension state and the non-open extension state, so regardless of the game state (without determining the value of the time saving flag). The normal operation start process may be performed.

  FIG. 31 is a part of the flowchart of the special game process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 21 of the special game process 1 described in the first embodiment. Specifically, the end of the big hit game. It becomes a process of the time, and is a process of setting the game state after the big hit game determined by the game state at the time of winning and the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol at the time of determining whether or not the special figure is hit.

  The difference from the special game process 1 of the first embodiment is S1570 and S1575, and the general figure probability variation flag and the probability variation counter (the same value as the time saving counter) are set after the jackpot game is over (transition to high probability state). means).

  32 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the second embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 32 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (3) of the first embodiment, but the display timing is at the time of all winning of the general figure in the normal state, specifically, FIG. This is performed when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command in S1470. The display contents at the time of the second special figure small hit after the universal figure winning of FIG. 32 (2) are also the same as those 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 success / failure determination of the universal figure changes, and when the universal figure is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first open (short open) and the second open ( It is no longer necessary to provide a "long open", and the "V challenge production" can be performed every time when the universal figure is won in the normal state.

  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 also common to the first embodiment, and the portions that have no special description are common contents, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  The big difference from the first and second embodiments is that the first special figure does not have a small hit (only the small special hit of the second special figure occurs in the second special figure). This is a point provided with a game (the opening mode of the first big winning opening 14 and the number of times saved after the big hit game is different). Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 to 37.

  FIG. 33 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment. What differs 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 “jacket big hit”, and “first special drawing of symbol big hit”. The number of types of jackpot games has increased to "3". In addition, since the hit probability of the universal figure and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric auditors product 16 at the time of winning are the same as those in the first embodiment (probability does not change and two kinds of opening patterns are provided in the normal state), the normal state is obtained. Then, if the general figure wins with the second open symbol, the second special figure will change and you can expect the big hit of the character (“V challenge production” will be implemented).

  The first special figure of the present embodiment, which is different from the first and second embodiments, will be described with reference to the contents of FIG. 33, regarding the type and contents of the big hit game (big hit game setting means) when the symbol big hit occurs. When the first special figure is a big hit with 2, 4, 6, and 8 symbols (4/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 opens 4 rounds (a maximum of 29.0 seconds per round) Or 9 counts). In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the time saving state (open extension state) (the ratio is different from the first and second embodiments).

  When the first special figure is a big hit with the symbols 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 (5/10 ratio), the big winning game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds) After the big hit game is over, the state becomes a time saving state (open extension state) until the special figure changes 99 times (the same contents as those in Examples 1 and 2).

  When the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 0 (ratio of 1/10), the first big winning opening 14 carries out a big hit game in which two rounds are opened (1 round maximum 6.0 seconds open or 9 counts). However, after the big hit game is finished, it becomes a time saving state (open extension state) until the special figure changes four times (contents not found in the first and second embodiments).

  In the present embodiment, in the normal state, if the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 2 rounds, 4 times short, when the big hit game is over, the special figure changes to 4 times until the special figure changes (open extension), but in this case , It is desirable in the game structure to hold the time saving (open extension) state until the second special figure changes four times, while setting the upper limit of the second reserved memory to one (the second special figure changes four times). The time saving function of this embodiment is set to have the contents shown in FIGS. Note that, also in the present embodiment, the second special figure has a configuration in which the fluctuation starts in priority over the first special figure (the special figure right / absence determination is performed).

  FIG. 34 is a diagram 1 showing the time saving function of the third embodiment, and shows the details of the content of the time saving number set for each big hit symbol. Specifically, if the 1st special figure is a big hit with a design of 4 rounds, there is no time saving setting, but if you have a big hit with 4 rounds of 2 rounds, there are three conditions. The setting is made so that the time saving (open extension) state is held until it is satisfied. Specific conditions are (1) until the first special map changes up to 20 times, (2) until the second special map changes up to four times, and (3) the first special map and the second special map total. When the game ball is made to flow down to the second game area 3b in the time shortening (open extension) state, the fluctuation of the first special map remains only in the first reserved memory, (2) Since the time saving (open extension) state ends when the condition of is satisfied, even if the upper limit of the number of the second reserved storage is one, the time saving until the second special figure changes four times after the big hit game ends The (open extension) state is maintained.

  Therefore, if the 1st special figure is a big hit with the symbol of 2 rounds 4 times shorter, it is expected that the 2nd special figure will always change 4 times after the big hit game is finished, rather than the payout due to the big hit. .

  By doing so, there is a case where the reserved memory of the first special figure remains when the big hit at the time of the normal game is first shifted to the time saving state. If an extremely short number of times, such as four times, is given as in the present embodiment, the remaining reserved memory of the first special figure may be consumed, and the second special figure, which was originally intended, may be saved. It is not possible to carry out the operation in a stable manner. Therefore, by setting in this way, even if there is a pending memory in the first special map, or if the player accidentally enters the ball into the first starting opening 11 even if the time saving state occurs, the second special map changes four times. It becomes possible to secure a time saving state until. However, if the maximum number of times and the total maximum number of times in the 1st special map are increased too much, it may be possible to win the lottery in the 1st special map as it is, so it is necessary to install it so that the advantage does not reverse. There is.

  In addition, in the normal state, except for the case where the 1st special figure is a big hit with the symbol of 2 rounds 4 times, a condition of (1) (2) (3) mentioned above is included in any case including the jackpot hit. 99 times each.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the first special figure is a big hit with the symbol of four rounds in two rounds, there is a chance of a character big hit from the second special figure small hit. Therefore, when the first special figure makes a big hit with the symbol of four rounds in two rounds, the "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 validity determination processing 3 executed by the main control device 80 in the present embodiment, which corresponds to the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 13 in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, there is no small hit in the first special figure, and when the first special figure is a big hit with a pattern of 2 rounds and 4 times in a short time, the "V challenge production" is carried out. It becomes the processing part of.

  After starting the operation of the condition device and the accessory continuous operation device based on the confirmation display of the big hit symbol (S1680, S1685), it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol is the four rounds of 2 rounds of the first special symbol ( If a positive determination is made (S1690: yes), the "V challenge effect" display instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1675), and the jackpot flag is set to 1 (S1705). If S1690 is negative (S1690: no), the 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).

  By this processing, when the big hit of the predetermined symbol (4 times in 2 rounds in a short time) occurs in the first special figure, the above-mentioned V challenge effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the V-challenge effect is started from the time when the predetermined jackpot pattern (4 times in 2 rounds in short time) of the first special figure is confirmed and displayed, and the V-challenge effect is limited to this jackpot instead of the jackpot confirmed effect. Done.

  In the present embodiment, the time saving is four times, so that the V challenge is continuously performed four times with high probability. Therefore, it is possible to display "V challenge x 4!" Or "V challenge first time" to "V challenge last!", Which is different from the other examples. In addition, it is possible to prepare for the V-challenge of various expectations by setting the number of times to be saved not only four times but also once, twice, three times, ....

  Further, when the small hit (small hit only the second special drawing in this embodiment) occurs in the normal state, the second opening operation of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is also performed in the second starting opening 12 in this embodiment. Since it is considered that the ball has entered, continuation of "V challenge production" (continuation from the case where the public figure wins with the second open symbol, or the case where the first special symbol wins with the predetermined jackpot symbol) A command instructing to continue is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1745).

  FIG. 37 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in 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 in the normal state. In the case of winning the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (4 times in 2 rounds), specifically, when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command of S1695 of FIG. To be 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 pattern (4 times in a short time in 2 rounds), instead of performing a finalizing effect of a big hit in which a ball cannot be expected, the first hit from a character big hit in a short time state after the big hit ends. It is configured to perform "V challenge production" that makes you expect a specially designed condominium. Furthermore, since it has the time saving function described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35, the second special map always changes four times after the big hit game of a predetermined big hit symbol (4 times in two rounds in a short time), so that the second special figure always changes. The small hit of the second special figure occurs four times. Therefore, there are four chances to win big hits, and the "V challenge effect" by winning the predetermined big hit symbol (4 times in 2 rounds and shorter times) is compared to the "V challenge effect" from the second open symbol winning of the public figure. , Expectations will be very high.

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

  In the present embodiment, with respect to the configuration of the third embodiment, a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of hit / miss determination of the universal figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric auditors product 16 at the time of the universal figure is related to the game state. This is common to all (common to the changes from Example 1 to Example 2). A specific changed portion will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

  FIG. 38 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 33 of the third embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (the bottom column of the chart)”, and also in the fourth embodiment, the probability of determining whether or not a universal figure is normal is the probability. There is a high probability that the ordinary electric accessory 16 will release 5.0 seconds once if the universal figure is won in either probability of winning or losing the universal figure.

  Note that the probability of hitting or not accepting a universal figure changes at the same timing as the transition to the time saving (open extension) state. Specifically, in the time saving (open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection determination is performed with high probability (100/100), and in the non-time saving (non-open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection 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 winning / deciding whether or not a universal figure is changed is changed, so that there is no small hit in the first special figure, and the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (4 times in two rounds, shortened times) ), The "V challenge production" is performed instead of the big hit production, but the first open (short open) and the second open (short open) are made in the normal state (low probability state). Since there is no distinction between 2 open (long open), it is possible to perform the "V challenge production" every time when the universal figure is won.

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

  The present 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 is provided with a small hit, and the first opening (short opening) is provided in the ordinary drawing in the normal state. Equipped with a hit symbol to be done and a hit symbol to perform the second opening (long opening) (Example 1), and as the big hit symbol of the first special figure, a predetermined big hit symbol to carry out a big hit game of two rounds and four short times Example 3) is also provided.

  The diagram of FIG. 39 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment. The specific contents are almost the same as the contents of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, except that the contents and types of the big hit game at the time of the symbol big hit of the first special drawing are common to the contents of the third embodiment. It becomes the point. In addition, in the present embodiment, since there is also a bonus jackpot from the first special figure small hit, the content of the time saving number set at the end of the bonus jackpot is as shown in FIG. 40, and the other jackpot game ends. The contents of the hour reduction setting are common to the contents described in FIGS. 34 and 35 of the third embodiment.

  By changing the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment shown in the chart of FIG. 39, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned “V challenge production” is performed, when the small hit of the first special figure is won and the second opening of the general figure. At the time of winning the symbol, it is possible to carry out the predetermined big hit symbol of the first special symbol (2 rounds, shortening number of times 4 times) at a total of 3 places at the time of winning.

  As a result, once the small hit of the first special figure occurs, the "V challenge" (small hit game in which the second big winning opening 91 operates) once, and the maximum of the "V challenge" at the time of winning the second open symbol of the ordinary figure. Only once, but if the first special figure is a big hit with a predetermined big hit pattern (2 rounds, shortened times 4 times), until the second special figure changes at least four times, in other words, the small hit of the second special figure. Will continue the "V Challenge" until four times.

  Therefore, for the player, the "V challenge effect" that appears in the jackpot of the predetermined symbol of the first special symbol (4 times of the number of times of shortening in two rounds) is an extremely high expectation period, but to the specific area 94. Since the ball entry rate is higher in the small hit of the first special figure, the expectation degree is similarly expanded when the small hit of the first special figure is provided. As described above, by providing the small hits with various triggers, it is possible to make the big hits of the accessory in various patterns and enhance the game playability.

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

  In the present embodiment, in comparison with the configuration of the fifth embodiment, a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of hit determination of the universal figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of the universal figure is related to the game state. This is common to all (common to the changes from Example 1 to Example 2). 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 item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”, and in the present embodiment, the probability of determining whether or not a universal figure is normal is high. There is a probability that the ordinary electric auditors product 16 once releases 5.0 seconds if the universal figure is won in either probability of winning or losing the universal figure.

  In the present embodiment as well, the probability of hitting the universal figure changes with the same trigger as the transition to the time saving (open extension) state. Specifically, in the time saving (open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection determination is performed with high probability (100/100), and in the non-time saving (non-open extension) state, the universal figure acceptance / rejection 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 winning / deciding whether or not a general figure is changed is changed, so that when the small hit of the first special figure is won and a predetermined symbol of the first special figure (two rounds, a shortened number of times 4 While the configuration is such that the "V challenge production" is performed when the jackpot is won in the "time", the "V challenge production" can be performed every time when the universal figure is won in the normal state (low probability state).

  The above is the description of the embodiment. The pachinko machines of any of the examples are configured to have a symbol big hit and a small hit jackpot from the small hit, and the pachinko machines of the first, third and fifth embodiments are "variable winning if the general figure win / fail judgment is won. A device (ordinary electric accessory 16) is compared to operate in the first opening where it is difficult to enter or a second opening where comparison is easy to enter On the other hand, the pachinko machines of Examples 2, 4, and 6 do not include operation determining means, but instead, "the probability of winning the universal figure success / failure determination after the jackpot game is higher than the normal probability state is high. The high probability state transition means for transitioning to the stochastic state is provided.

  In addition, the pachinko machine of the first, second, fifth, and sixth embodiments is 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", and the "first The small hitting game based on the small hitting prize of the special symbol and the small hitting game based on the small hitting prize of the second special symbol are made to have different ball entry rates to the specific area. "

  In addition, the pachinko machine of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments sets "the content of the big hit game and the implementation period of the opening extension means in accordance with the kind of the big hit symbol that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is definitely displayed. "Big hit game setting means to do", when setting the extension extension period (time saving number) at the end of the big hit game "First setting to end the opening extension means when the number of confirmed display of the first special symbol reaches a predetermined number, When the number of confirmed display times of the 2 special symbols reaches a predetermined number, the second extension is ended, and when the total number of confirmed display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches the predetermined number, the opening extension means is opened. The opening extension period setting means for performing the third setting to end "is provided in common.

  In the embodiment, when an opportunity to enter the specific area 94 (opportunity for a jackpot) occurs, a "V challenge" effect that is common in appearance is performed in each case, but the type of the symbol and the jackpot for the jackpot. The display content of the "V challenge" effect may be different depending on the difference, and in that case, the display content may be changed according to the degree of expectation that the bonus hit occurs from the "V challenge" to be performed.

  In that case, for example, when a big hit occurs in a predetermined big hit pattern (2 rounds, shortened times 4 times) in the first special figure in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments, the expected period is another "V". "Ultra V Challenge" because it is four times longer than "Challenge", and if the small hit of the first special figure occurs in Examples 1, 2, 5 and 6, "Super V Challenge", in Examples 1, 3 and 5 A "V Challenge" may be set at the time of winning the second open symbol of the universal figure and at the time of winning the universal symbol in Examples 2, 4, and 6 (all in the normal game state).

  In addition, during the small hitting game of the first special figure of the first and fifth embodiments, if the general drawing is won by the second open symbol, and during the small hitting game of the first special drawing of the second and sixth embodiments, the general drawing is In the case of winning, it is conceivable to switch to a "production that encourages the player to enter a specific area", which is different from the "V challenge" presentation (an effect that encourages the player to enter a specific area).

  Since this configuration changes the universal figure even during the small hit game of the first special figure that is being carried out as a "V challenge", there is a case where the ordinary figure wins with the second open symbol during the small hit game. , If you select the appropriate, multiple "V Challenge" will be executed continuously (after the small hit of the first special figure is carried out, the small hit of the second special figure will be continuously generated), so it is special The purpose is to make it look as if a "V Challenge" has occurred. With this configuration, when a small hit rarely occurs continuously, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation.

  In addition, when there is a reserved memory that is a small hit in the first reserved memory during the small hit game of the second special figure, the "V challenge" effect being performed based on the pre-reading determination (entering a specific area It is also conceivable to switch to a "promotion that encourages the player to enter a specific area", which is different from the "promotion". In the case of this configuration, in the situation where the small hit of the second special map is carried out first, the small hit of the first special map having a higher winning probability to the specific area 94 is successively carried out. It will be configured to notify you before. This configuration also makes it possible to further increase the player's expectation when small hits with a higher expectation of a big hit for a character continue.

  In addition, the small hit of the 1st special figure and the predetermined big hit design of execution example 3, 4, 5, and 6 (the design of 2 times in short time 4 times), the common production in order to notify the hit of the normal design in advance. Can also be considered. For example, if a design (for example, a roulette wheel) different from the special design effect design is displayed, and whether or not a V challenge is generated there, the V challenge is generated by a lottery different from the special drawing lottery. It can be seen as if it is, and it is possible to clearly separate the big hit by the design and the big hit of the accessory by the small hit.

  As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present invention, it becomes a game machine capable of giving a chance of winning a plurality of winning objects having different advantages as well as a big hit of a symbol, and a general drawing and an ordinary electric winning object. It can be applied to a ball-and-ball game machine that has a special figure and causes a big hit from a small hit.
