Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine that develops a game from a winning / failing lottery for normal symbols to a winning / failing lottery for special symbols.

Conventionally, in a pachinko machine that is a ball game machine, it is determined whether or not a normal symbol is due to the entry of a game ball into the starting opening of a normal symbol, and if the determination result is a hit, then a normal electric accessory is used. It is opened, which allows a special symbol to enter the starting port. When the game ball enters the starting opening of the special symbol in this state, the symbol of the effect symbol display device starts to fluctuate and the special symbol is judged to be right or wrong, and the determination result changes the symbol to the effect symbol display device, and thereafter. There is one that executes a winning game of a special symbol that opens the special winning opening if the result of the winning / deciding determination is a hit (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
This kind of pachinko machine, based on the winning symbol of the special symbol decided at the time of the special symbol winning judgment, the function to change the winning probability of the special symbol to a high probability, the winning probability of the ordinary symbol to a high probability. And a function of extending the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors' prize by a lottery for winning a regular symbol.
Further, Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which a limiter for limiting the number of repetitions of the winning game of the special symbol and the probability change to the high probability of the special symbol is incorporated.

By the way, in the configuration that changes the symbol of the effect symbol display device at the time of determining whether or not the special symbol is valid, the variation frequency of the symbol is low, and if the symbol variation does not occur, the fun of the game is reduced. Therefore, in order to improve the variation frequency of the symbols, there is a pachinko machine configured to change the symbols of the effect symbol display device according to the judgment of whether or not the normal symbol is right or wrong.
In this kind of pachinko machine, due to the entry of the normal symbol into the starting opening, the symbol variation of the effect symbol display device is started and the judgment of the ordinary symbol is made, and if the judgment result is a hit, it becomes the ordinary symbol. The normal production of a special symbol is performed by notifying the hit with the corresponding effect symbol, and the winning judgment of the special symbol is developed by the game ball entering the starting opening of the special symbol.

  In the pachinko machine that starts the symbol fluctuation of the effect symbol display device due to the ball entering the starting opening of the normal symbol, in order to enhance the relevance between the symbol display by the winning of the ordinary symbol and the judgment of the winning or losing of the special symbol, The winning probability of the special symbol is extremely high, and if the ordinary symbol is won, the special symbol is also won and the special symbol shifts to a winning game. The special symbol hit game has a structure in which the big winning opening is opened for two rounds, and after the special symbol hit game the normal symbol changes with a high probability and the opening extension function operates, and the special symbol hits immediately. It has a structure that allows continuous playing of games. Then, when the special symbol hit game and the high probability state are repeated a predetermined number of times, the limiter returns to the normal game state (the normal symbol has a low probability state).

JP, 2000-84195, A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-15177

The conventional pachinko machine that changes the symbol of the effect symbol display device according to the judgment of whether or not the normal symbol is once, once the special symbol hit game occurs, the special symbol hit game is repeatedly executed until the limiter is activated. It becomes possible to obtain a ball. However, when the special symbol hitting game continues, the player gets used to the occurrence of the special symbol hitting game, and the number of prize balls to be acquired is almost constant, so that the player's sense of tension is reduced. Furthermore, if the limiter is activated and the continuous winning game of special symbols is interrupted, the winning probability returns to a low probability, and the player's expectation for the next special symbol hitting game also decreases.
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to realize a ball game machine which can improve the tension and expectation of the player and which is full of interest.

The invention according to claim 1 is
Ordinary pattern starting port,
Normal symbol numerical data extraction means for extracting normal symbol numerical data due to the entry of the game sphere into the normal symbol starting opening,
A normal symbol hit / miss judgment means for judging whether or not the normal symbol is based on the normal symbol numerical data,
An ordinary electric accessory that is provided so that it can be opened and closed, and the result of the determination of whether or not the ordinary symbol is open in a predetermined opening mode at the time of winning,
A special symbol starting port that allows the entry of game balls by opening the ordinary electric accessory,
Special symbol numerical data extraction means for extracting special symbol numerical data due to the entry of the game ball into the special symbol starting port,
With a special symbol propriety determination means for determining the propriety of the special symbol based on the special symbol numerical data,
When the result of the determination of whether or not the special symbol is won, a jackpot symbol determining means for determining a jackpot symbol of the special symbol,
When the result of the determination of whether or not the special symbol is winning, the big hit game control means for executing the big hit game of the special symbol by opening the special winning opening in a predetermined opening mode,
After the jackpot game is over, in accordance with the jackpot pattern, at least the normal symbol probability variation function that makes the winning probability of the ordinary symbol a high probability and the opening extension function that extends the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors operate. With setting means for extended games,
In a ball-ball game machine, comprising: a counting means for counting the number of operations of the opening extension function that operates continuously, and limiting the opening extension game when the number of counts reaches a preset number,
At the time of symbol variation and the symbol confirmation display accompanying the hit determination of the special symbol, even if there is a ball entering the special symbol starting opening, the special symbol numerical data is not the target of the hit determination of the special symbol ,
Before SL jackpot gaming control means, as a possible jackpot gaming aspect, at least the usual electric combination thereof opening variation time and the symbol determined in the special symbol accompanying the propriety determination of the special symbols as a result of the jackpot gaming from time Equipped with a short-time jackpot that is set to be shorter than the time obtained by subtracting the display time,
The big hit symbol determination means, as a big hit symbol that can be determined, at least the short-time big hit is set, and after the big hit game is not set the open extension game short time big hit symbol, and the short time big hit is set and big hit game It is characterized by having a jackpot pattern consisting of a short-time extended extension jackpot pattern in which the opening extension game is set after the end.
It should be noted that the limiting means does not operate the opening extension function even if the short-time opening extension jackpot pattern that activates the opening extension function is activated. Further, the limiting means substantially limits the continuous success of the big hits by limiting the operation of the opening extension function.
It is preferable that the special symbol numerical value data extracting means does not extract the special symbol numerical data during the change of the special symbol and during the fixed display, and does not store the special symbol on hold.

  According to this invention, when the big hit of the big hit pattern occurs for a short time in the opening extension game state and the non-operating limit means, the opening extension game is not set after the end of the big hit game. However, even after the end of the big hit game of short-time big hit symbol, the normal electric accessory is open, and it is possible to determine whether or not the new special symbol is hit by entering the special symbol start opening. If a big hit of the short-time extended extension jackpot pattern occurs by a new hit determination, the extended extension game is executed after the jackpot game is over, and you can continuously win the jackpot. In this case, since the count of the limiting means becomes the initial value, it is possible to obtain an additional chance as if the remaining number of consecutive big hits increases. For example, when the number of times the opening extension game is limited by the limiting means is 20, and the jackpot is 15 times in a row during the opening extension game (the remaining 5 times until the limit), the jackpot of the short-time jackpot symbol is followed by a long-time opening extension. When a big hit of the big hit symbol occurs and the count of the limiting means returns to the initial value, the player feels that the number of times that the big hit can be continued is changed from 5 times to 20 times, and the addition of 15 times is added. As a result, the player's sense of tension and expectation can be improved.

  Further, during the operation of the limiting means, even if a big hit of the short-time extended extension big hit symbol occurs, the opening extension game is not set after the end of the big hit game. However, even after the end of the big hit game of short-time extended extension big hit symbol, the normal electric accessory is open, and it is possible to judge whether or not a new special symbol is hit by entering the special symbol start opening. When a big hit of the short-time extended extension big hit symbol occurs by the new hit determination, the extended extension game state is continued after the big hit game is over, and the big hit can be won. In this case, since the count of the limiting means becomes the initial value, there is a chance to pull back to return the gaming state in which the big hit can be continued. For example, the limit number of opening extension game by the limiting means is 20 times, and during the operation of the limiting means, when a big hit of the short-time extended extension big hit symbol occurs and the count of the limiting means returns to the initial value, a big hit for the player. It is possible to improve the player's feeling of tension and expectation by returning to the continuous game.

  The pachinko machine 1 is a so-called CR machine, and a prepaid card unit (CR unit) 60 for reading and writing a prepaid card is adjacent to the pachinko machine 1. The pachinko machine 1 is provided with a lending button 171, a settlement button 172, and a settlement display device 173 on the right side of the upper plate 12. Further, a game button 15 which can be operated by a player and a jog dial 16 are provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the upper plate 12 at a central position.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 2 has a substantially circular game area 20 surrounded by an outer rail 201 and an inner rail 202. Further, in the game area, the center case 200 is mounted at a position near the upper center thereof. As a result, the game area 20 is divided into a left hitting area in which the game ball flows down when the game ball is shot with a predetermined strength, and a right hitting area in which the game ball flows down when the game ball is shot stronger than the predetermined strength. Be done. Incidentally, a large number of game nails and windmills (not shown) are planted in the game area 20.
At the center of the center case 200, an LCD panel of an effect symbol display device 21 (entire illustration is omitted) is arranged. The center case 200 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp gutter, a stage, and the like as well known.

Directly below the center case 200, a universal figure starting port 22A of an ordinary pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a universal figure) capable of always entering (winning) is installed. A game ball flowing down from the left hitting area is easily inserted into the universal figure starting port 22A. The universal figure starting port 22A is a ball entry port that causes the determination of whether or not the universal figure is valid by entering the ball. Upon entering the universal figure starting port 22A, a plurality of types of random numbers such as a random number for determining a hit of a universal figure, a random number for determining a winning symbol of a universal figure, a random number for determining a variation pattern of a universal figure, etc. are extracted and stored on hold. Up to four reserve memories are stored. Whether or not the universal figure is valid is determined based on these reserved memories.
It should be noted that only the game ball flowing down from the left hitting area may enter the universal figure starting port 22A.
In addition, three normal winning openings 27 are arranged in the lower part of the left-handed area.

  2 and 3 show the details of the right-handed area, and the right-handed area is configured such that the game ball flows down along the transparent downflow path 203. First, the game ball flowing down along the flow-down path 203 is almost at an upper part of the passage for guiding the game ball obliquely laterally to the game board in a gentle inclination posture, a lower part of the passage, and an intermediate part of the passage connecting them substantially vertically. The flow velocity passes through the inverted U-shaped velocity adjusting passage 204, and the downflow velocity is reduced to a constant velocity. An effect detection SW 509 is installed in the middle of the speed adjustment passage 204, and by entering the ball and passing through it, it is detected that the player has entered the right-handed area.

  Downstream of the speed adjustment passage 204, a universal figure operation gate 22B is provided which allows a game ball that has passed through the speed adjustment passage 204 to enter and pass with a high probability. The universal figure actuation gate 22B is a cause for execution / non-existence lottery of the universal figure when a game ball enters and passes, and like the universal figure starting port 22A, for determining the hit of the universal figure by passage. A plurality of types of random numbers, such as random numbers, random numbers for determining winning symbols for ordinary figures, random numbers for determining reach for ordinary figures, and random numbers for determining varying patterns for ordinary figures, are extracted and stored in a suspended manner.

  Out ball openings 205, 205 for taking the game ball into the pachinko machine base are provided on both the left and right sides of the universal operation gate 22B. These are communicated with the openings provided on both left and right side walls of the passage immediately upstream of the universal operation gate 22B, and are configured to take in the game balls that could not enter the universal operation gate 22B. That is, when the game ball enters and passes through the universal operation gate 22B, the flow velocity of the ball decreases, so that the following game ball collides with the previous ball and laterally diverges and jumps out of the passage through the opening. Take in the sphere. As a result, the game balls continuously entering the general-purpose actuation gate 22B are spaced to some extent.

On the downstream side of the universal figure operation gate 22B, a special pattern that can be opened and closed by a guide path 206 that guides the game ball from the universal figure operation gate 22B, an ordinary electric auditors product (universal utility object) 23, and a universal electric officer object 23. A special figure starting port 24 (hereinafter referred to as a special figure) is provided. It is configured that only the game balls that enter the universal figure actuation gate 22B and pass through the universal figure auditors object 23 and the special figure starting port 24 can reach.
The guide path 206 has a substantially inverted L shape so as to gently guide the game ball to the lower left. In addition, the guide path 206 is configured by a flat door portion of the general electric accessory 23 that can open and close a part of the bottom wall on the right side of the lower side portion that guides the game ball to the left.

If the result of the winning / disapproving lottery of the above-mentioned universal drawing is a hit, the door portion of the universal electric accessory 23 is opened in a predetermined opening mode and opening time.
The door portion of the universal electric object 23 is provided so as to be able to move forward and backward between a closed position that extends to the front surface of the game board and forms the position portion of the bottom wall, and an open position that is retracted into the game board, and is usually the closed position.

The special figure starting port 24 is provided at a position directly below the ordinary electric accessory 23 so that the player can enter the ball only when the ordinary electric object 23 is opened.

  The special figure starting port 24 is a ball entrance that causes the determination of whether or not the special figure is valid by entering the ball. By entering the special figure starting port 24, a plurality of types of random numbers such as a special figure big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol decision random number, and a special pattern fluctuation pattern decision random number are extracted. Whether or not the special figure is valid is determined according to these random numbers. In addition, in the present embodiment, in the normal game, the variation time of the universal figure is long, and the opening time of the general electric officer is set to a short time. The lottery is designed not to start. Therefore, the main purpose is to hit the universal figure at the universal figure starting port 22A by left-handing during the normal game. Also, in the normal game, it is desirable to invalidate the universal figure actuation gate 22B on the right side of the game board even if there is a ball in it. It is desirable to keep the prize ball base by preventing right-handed hits in normal games.

The guide path 206 is provided with a plurality of flow-down speed reduction units 207 that reduce the flow-down speed of the game balls at a position corresponding to the general electric accessory 23. The flow-down speed decreasing portion 207 is composed of a protruding portion projecting from the inner wall surface on the game board side and the inner wall surface on the glass frame side of the guide path 206 into the passage in a substantially semicircular shape in the longitudinal direction of each inner wall surface. It is provided along.
The flow-down speed decreasing portion 207 on the inner wall surface on the game board side is provided at a position corresponding to the upstream terminal portion and a position corresponding to the downstream terminal portion of the door portion of the universal utility product 23, respectively. Further, one flow-down velocity reducing portion 207 on the inner wall surface on the glass frame side is provided at a position corresponding to an intermediate center of the two flow-down velocity reducing portions 207 on the game board side.
In this way, since the guiding path 206 is provided with a plurality of downward flow velocity reducing portions 207 protruding inward, the flowing down game balls come in contact with the respective downward flow velocity reducing portions 207 to meander, and the downward flow velocity is reduced. It Then, the game ball that has been decelerated by opening the door portion of the universal electric part 23 can be inserted into the ordinary electric part 23.

  In addition, it is desirable that the guide path 206 be provided with an opening at a position immediately upstream of the portion where the downflow speed reduction section 207 is provided so that the game ball can be delivered to the outside of the guide path 206. This is, when the downflow speed is reduced by the downflow speed reduction unit 207 and the game balls are retained, even if many game balls flow down later, they have a role of sending them out onto the game board surface. It prevents the game balls staying on the door part from being washed away and causing ball clogging.

A lower flow path 208 is provided at a position downstream of the guide path 206, and guides the game ball to the special winning opening 26. The special winning opening 26 allows game balls to enter by opening the opening / closing door of the special electric accessory (special electric accessory) 25. Only the game balls that enter the special figure operation gate 22B and pass through the special winning opening 26, and the normal electric utility object 23 is inactive and does not enter the special figure starting opening 24 can reach.
The special winning port 26 is opened for a predetermined period of time when the result of the special drawing is judged to be a big hit, and the special electric auditors product 25 is activated in the big hit game. The special electric accessory 25 normally has the opening / closing door protruding above the special winning opening 26 so as to close the special winning opening 26, and retracts to open the special winning opening 26 during operation. Further, the special electric accessory 25 forms a part of the lower flow path 208 so as to guide the game ball to the downstream side of the special winning opening 26 when it is not operated.
In addition, in the position corresponding to the special electric accessory 25 of the lower flow path 208, a plurality of downflow speed decreasing portions 207 are provided, and the downflow speed of the game ball is decreased to retain the game ball, as in the case of the normal electric accessory 23. It is desirable to let

Based on the command (which reflects the signal of the touch SW 525 and the game situation), the rotation signal of the firing handle 14 and the signal of the firing stop SW 524 sent from the main control device 40 via the payout control device 41, the firing motor. 526 is controlled and a game ball is started and stopped.

The sub integrated control device 42 is provided with a volume control switch, and operation signals for the game button 15 and the jog dial 16 are input.
Then, the sub integrated control device 42 controls driving of the speaker 112 to output sound, and control of turning on and off of various LEDs and various lamps 113. Furthermore, the command of the display mode of the effect for displaying a character or the like and the display mode of the special effect pseudo effect symbol is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43.

  The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes the effect symbol display device 21 together with the LCD panel unit and the attached unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 21 according to the command sent from the sub integrated control device 42.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 executes a lottery drawing (judgment) of a game drawing when a game ball enters the starting opening or the operation gates 22A and 22B of the game drawing. At this time, the symbol variation of the public figure display device 29 and the effect symbol display device 21 is started, and thereafter, the public symbol is displayed on the public symbol display device 29 and the pseudo symbol corresponding to the public symbol is fixedly displayed on the effect symbol display device 21. The result of the lottery is notified. If the result of the lottery is a win, the ordinary electric accessory 23 is opened as a hit game of the ordinary figure, and the ball can be entered into the special figure starting port 24.
In this state, when the game ball enters the special figure starting port 24, the special figure lottery (judgment) is executed, the symbol variation of the special figure display device 28 is started, and then the special figure is displayed on the special figure display device 28. The result of the lottery is confirmed and displayed. If the lottery result is a big hit, a big hit game of a special figure for opening the big winning opening 26 is executed.

  The pachinko machine 1 is, as a game mode of the big hit game of the special figure, at least a time from the start of the change of the special figure to the end of the big hit game is set to be shorter than the opening time of the ordinary electric officer. Time jackpot (short time jackpot set to be shorter than the time that the special variation time and the symbol confirmation display time associated with the hit determination of the special figure that causes the big hit game are subtracted from the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors ), And the time from the start of fluctuation of special map to the end of the big hit game is set to be longer than the opening time of the general electric auditors It is a big hit of the special figure decided at the time of judgment of the winning / disapproval judgment. A short-time or long-time big hit game mode is determined according to the design.

  After the big hit game, depending on the big hit symbol of the special figure, the game state can be shifted to a special game state different from the normal game state. As this kind of game state, the probability variation game state that gives the special figure probability variation (probability change) function that makes the winning probability of the special figure a high probability, and the variation time of the figure is reduced and the figure probability variation (probability change) It is possible to shift to the extended extension game state in which the function and the extended extension function of extending the opening time of the ordinary electric utility are extended.

And, as a big hit symbol of the special figure which decides the big hit game mode and the game state after the big hit game, at least the short time big hit game mode is selected and the first big hit which does not shift to the open extension game state after the big hit game ends A symbol (short-time big hit symbol), a second big hit symbol (long-time extended extension big-hit symbol) that selects the long-time big-hit game mode and shifts to the open extension game state after the big hit game ends, and the short-time big hit game It is provided with a third big hit symbol (short-time open extension big hit symbol) which is selected to change the mode and shifts to the open extension game state after the big hit game.
This pachinko machine 1, if the special hitting big hit design is the opening extension design, shifts to the above-mentioned probability change and open extension playing state after the special hitting big hit game ends.
After the big hit game, the open extension game is likely to occur, and the special figure starting port is easily entered, so that the special figure big hit game can be continuously executed. Further, the number of consecutive big hit games in the special figure is limited by a limiter (corresponding to the limiting means in the claims). That is, the limiter counts the number of times the opening extension function operates, and when the number of times reaches a predetermined number, the operation of the opening extension function is restricted and the transition to the big hit game of the special figure is restricted.

Figure 6 shows the game specifications of this pachinko machine 1, the probability of winning in the general figure is "21/4933" when the normal low probability (open extension function not activated), and high probability (open extension function activated) Then it is set to "1".
The opening time of the ordinary electric utility object 23 in the hit game of the universal figure is "5.78 seconds" when the opening extension is not operated, and "5.8 seconds" when the opening extension is operated, and the prescribed winning number is " It is set to "10".
The winning probability of the special figure is set to "65519/65521" when the probability is low (probability variation function is not activated) and "655520/65521" when it is high (probability variation function is activated).

The special jackpot pattern is the first jackpot symbol "(big hit) symbol A", the second jackpot symbol "(big jackpot) symbol B", the third jackpot symbol "(big jackpot) ) Three types of "C" are provided.
The "big hit symbol A" is determined to be 4%, and the "big hit A" which is the short time big hit game mode is set as the big hit game mode corresponding to this, and the opening extension function after the big hit game is finished. Not granted.
The “big hit pattern B” is determined to be 92%, the “long hit big hit game mode” “big hit B” is set as the corresponding big hit game mode, and the opening extension function is given after the big hit game ends. It
The "big hit pattern C" is determined to be 4%, and the "big hit C", which is the first big hit game mode for a short time, is set as the corresponding big hit game mode, and the extension function is opened after the big hit game ends. Is given.

96% of the special games are transferred to the probability variation game.
The limiter that regulates the opening extension function is set so that the opening extension function operates continuously 20 times.
The game modes of "big hit A" and "big hit C" are two round games in which the predetermined opening operation of the special winning opening 26 (special electric accessory 25) is one round, and the time required for the big hit game is "2". .5 seconds ".
In the game mode of "big hit B", two rounds of round game are performed, and the required time for the big hit game is "5.5 seconds" at the longest.
Further, in any of the "big hit A, B, C" big hit games, the maximum winning opening 6 of the round game is "0.25 seconds" at the longest, and the specified number of winning prizes is "1".
The fluctuation time of the special map is set to "1 second", and the fixed time for the fixed display of the special map is "0.5 second", both of which are extremely short time.
In this way, the game mode of "big hit A" and "big hit C" has a maximum time of 4 seconds from the start of fluctuation of the special map to the end of the big hit game through the fixed display of the symbols, and the opening time of the utility battery 23. It is shorter than that. On the other hand, in the game mode of "big hit B", the time from the start of fluctuation of the special map to the end of the big hit game after the fixed display of the symbols is up to 7 seconds, which is longer than the opening time of the ordinary electric utility product 23. ..

Hereinafter, the details of the operation will be described based on the program processing executed by main controller 40 (strictly speaking, its CPU).
First, an outline of the "main routine" of the program processing will be described with reference to FIG. The "main routine" is composed of the main processing (S100 to S111, S115) and the residual processing (S112), is started due to the interrupt signal of the cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms, and first determines whether or not it is a normal interrupt ( S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written in a specific address of the RAM. If a negative determination (S100: no) is made here, initialization (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not the above normal interrupt is written in the RAM as a part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt in the process of S100 (S100: yes), the initial random number update process (S101), the special jackpot determination random number update process (S102), the special jackpot design random number update process (S103) , Update processing of random numbers for hit determination of public figures (S104), update processing of random numbers for hit symbol determination of public figures (S105), update processing of reach determination random numbers regarding reach of special figures and public figures (S106), The random pattern update random number updating process (S107), winning confirmation process (S108), winning / judging process (S109), each output process (S110), and fraud monitoring process (S111) are performed on the variation patterns of the figure and the public figure. The initial random number update process (S112) is looped within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input.

  Next, in the program processing executed by the main control device 40, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S108) and each output processing (S110) will be described, centering on the winning / non-winning determination processing (S109) deeply related to the present invention. ..

  The "universal figure start winning confirmation process" shown in FIG. 8 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108), and in the process of S200, the ball enters the universal figure starting port 22A or the universal figure actuation gate 22B which is the universal figure starting port. If there is a ball (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the reserved memory of the general map is full in the process of S201. If the pending storage is not full (S201: no), various random numbers such as a random number for hit determination, a random number for hit symbol determination, a random number for reach symbol determination, a random number for outlier symbol determination, etc. as numerical data in the process of S202. Is stored in the memory of the main control device 40 as a pending storage (maximum four). Then, the display control of the figure holding number display device 291 and the command of the figure holding number are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S203). The process of S202 corresponds to the ordinary symbol numerical value data extraction means described in the claims.

  The "universal figure validity determination process" shown in FIG. 9 is a subroutine of the validity determination process (S109), and in the process of S300, it is confirmed whether or not the universal service member 23 for opening the special figure starting port 24 is in operation. However, if it is not operating (S300: no), it is confirmed whether or not the universal figure is fluctuating (S301), and if it is not fluctuating (S301: no), it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol is displayed. (S302). In addition, if the general electric accessory 23 is in operation (S300: yes), the process shifts to the "universal game process" (see FIG. 10).

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 10, it is confirmed whether or not there is a reserved memory of the general figure in the process of S310, and the reserved memory of the general figure is stored. If there is (S310: yes), the number of reserved storages in the general map is subtracted, and the reserved storage shift processing is performed (S311). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the public figure is the target of the success / failure determination. If there is no ordinary figure pending storage (S310: no), the process proceeds to "universal figure game processing".

  In the process of S312 after the universal figure reservation storage shift process, it is confirmed whether or not the current game state is during the probability change (high probability) of the universal figure. If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), the probability determination of the universal figure is performed by the probability change probability determination table in the process of S313. If the probability change is not in progress (S312: no), the general / universal hit / miss judgment is performed using the normal probability (low probability) hit / miss judgment table (S314). Then, in the process of S315, it is confirmed whether or not the determination result of the universal figure in the process of S313 or S314 is a hit. As described above, the hit probability of the universal figure is normally set to 21/4933, and is 100% when the probability changes. In addition, the processing of S313 and S314 corresponds to the normal symbol winning / defining determining means in the claims.

In the process of S315, if the result of the hit / no hit judgment of the universal figure is a hit (S315: yes), the universal symbol is hit on the basis of the random symbol for determining the symbol of the regular symbol of the reserved memory of the target universal symbol in the process of S316. The symbol is determined, and the variation pattern of the hit is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory of the general figure which is the target (S317).
On the other hand, if the result of the hit / no hit judgment of the universal figure is not a hit (S315: no), the variation pattern of the loss is determined (S318).
Next, in the processing of S319, the variation start of the universal figure display device 29, and the universal figure variation start command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the process proceeds to the "universal figure game process".

In the process of S301, when the pattern of the normal figure is changing (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 11, when it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has elapsed in the process of S320 (S320: yes), the process of S321 is performed. By the definite symbol display setting process, a command is transmitted to the definite symbol display of the public symbol display device 29, the sub integrated control device 42, and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to definitely display the pseudo symbol corresponding to the universal symbol.
Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the universal figure fixedly displayed in the process of S322 is a winning combination, and if the winning combination is a winning combination (S322: yes), the universal figure winning start effect process of S323 is performed to make a sub-display. The command is transmitted to the integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to start the effect, and the process proceeds to the "universal figure game process".

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 12, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed in the process of S330 (S330: yes), the determination of S331 is performed. In the symbol display end process, the final symbol display of the universal symbol display device 29 is terminated, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42, the effect symbol control device 43 so as to terminate the display of the pseudo symbol, and to the "general symbol game process". Transition.

As shown in FIG. 13, the "universal figure game process" is a subroutine of each output process (S110) of the "main routine" (FIG. 7). First, in the processing of S400, it is confirmed whether or not the universal electric accessory 23 is in the opening operation. If the general electric accessory 23 is not open (S400: no), it is confirmed whether or not the general drawing per end production is in progress (S401). If the general illustration per end production is not in progress (S401: no), the general map It is confirmed whether or not the hit start effect time has elapsed (S402), and if it can be confirmed that the universal figure hit start effect time has elapsed (S402: yes), the universal utility object 23 is opened in the process of S403. And return.
In addition, the general drawing hit start effect and the general drawing hit end effect, when the state of the general map or the general electric train is in a normal state, that is, when the time saving, the probability change, or the extension of the general electric train is not operating, Although it may have a certain amount of time, it is desirable not to set or produce an effect for an extremely short time in order to realize a speedy game while it is operating.

  If the universal electric accessories 23 are open in the process of S400 (S400: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed whether or not the ordinary electric accessories 23 have received 10 prizes (regular winning number). (S410), or it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the general electric outlet 23 has ended (S411), and if any can be confirmed, the general electric outlet 23 is closed in the processing of S412, and the end of the perusal figure is finished. The process is executed (S413) and the process returns.

  In the process of S401, if the general-figure-per-play ending effect is being performed (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is confirmed whether or not the general-figure-per-play ending time has elapsed (finished) in the process of S420. , If it has elapsed (S420: yes), the process of transmitting the universal figure end command in S421 is executed, and in this process, the universal figure end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect design control device 43, It ends the game and returns.

  In the above-mentioned ordinary figure per game, the ordinary electric utility article 23 is opened, and by entering the special figure starting port 24, it is determined whether or not the special figure is valid. As shown in FIG. 16, in the "special drawing right / wrong determination processing", first, in the processing of S500, the accessory continuous operation device for continuously (2 rounds) operating the special electric auditors 25 of the special winning opening 26 is in operation. Confirm whether or not it is not operating (S500: no), whether or not the special drawing is changing (S501), if not changing (S501: no), the confirmed symbol is displayed It is confirmed whether or not there is any (S502). If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S500: yes), the process moves to the "special game process" (see FIG. 17).

  If the finalized symbol is not being displayed in the process of S502 (S502: no), as shown in FIG. 17, whether or not there is a ball entering the special figure starting port 24 (universal service member 23) in the process of S510. Check if If there is a ball into the special figure starting port 24 (S510: yes), then as the numerical data in the process of S511, the special figure big hit determination random number, big hit symbol determination random number, reach symbol determination random number, outlier symbol Various random numbers such as a random number for determination are extracted. These random numbers are the targets for determining whether or not the special figure is valid. The process of S511 corresponds to special symbol numerical data extraction means described in the claims.

  In the subsequent processing of S512, the current game state confirms the probability variation flag and confirms whether or not the jackpot probability of the special figure is high probability probability variation (if the probability variation flag is 1, it is probability variation). If the probability change is in progress (S512: yes), a high probability probability determination table (probability variation table) and the special figure jackpot determination random number are compared in the processing of S513 to determine whether or not the jackpot is a big hit. If the probability change is not in progress (S513: no), in the processing of S514, the win / no win determination is made by comparing the win / no win determination table of normal probability (low probability) with the random number for determining the special figure big hit. Then, in the processing of S515, it is confirmed whether or not the result of the hit / miss determination of the special figure in the processing of S513 or S514 is a big hit. As described above, the jackpot probability of a special figure is normally set to 65519/65521, and is 65520/65521 at the time of probability change. Incidentally, the processing of S513 and S514 corresponds to the special symbol winning / defining determining means in the claims.

  If the special figure is hit in the process of S515 (S515: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, the big hit symbol of the special symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determining random number of the special symbol in the process of S520, In the fluctuation pattern determination process of S521, the fluctuation pattern of the big hit of the special figure is determined. The process of S520 corresponds to the jackpot symbol determining means in the claims.

In the process of S522, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot symbol of the determined special symbol is an open extension symbol (the jackpot symbol B or C) to be transferred to the open extension game state, and if it is an open symbol (S522). : Yes), in the processing of S523, the counter of the limiter that limits the number of times the open extension function operates continuously is checked to see if the limiter is operating. For example, the limiter regulation count is set to 20 times, and when the counter reaches 20, the limiter operates.
If the limiter is not operating (S523: yes), the limiter counter is incremented (S524), and in the processing of S525, "1" is set to the opening extension setting flag for shifting to the opening extension gaming state. Further, in the processing of S526, the probability variation setting flag for shifting to the probability variation gaming state is set to "1". The game state after the end of the big hit game in the special figure will be shifted to the game state in which the opening extension and the probability variation are combined.
In the subsequent special figure variation start command transmission processing of S527, the command corresponding to the variation start of the special figure of the special figure display device 28, the sub integrated control device 42, and the effect design control device 43 is transmitted, and the "special Game processing ".

In the processing of S523, when the counter reaches "20" and the limiter operation can be confirmed (S523: no), the counter is cleared (S528) and the opening extension setting flag is reset to "0" (S529). Further, the probability variation setting flag is reset to "0" (S530). As a result, the open extension game and the probability variation game are not given.
After the process of S530, the special figure variation start command transmission process of S527 corresponds to the variation start of the special figure on the special figure display device 28, the variation start of the special figure to the sub integrated control device 42, and the effect design control device 43. Command is transmitted to shift to the "special game processing".

In the process of S522, if the special symbol is not the open extension symbol (S522: no), the counter is cleared (S531) and the open extension setting flag is reset to "0" (S532). In the game state after the big hit game, the extended extension game is not given, but if the game state at the time of big hit is a certain change, the certainty variation game is continued.
After that, the special figure fluctuation start command transmission process of S527 is executed to shift to the "special game process".

  Returning to the processing of S515 of FIG. 17, if it is not a big hit (S515: no), in the processing of S516, the lost symbol of the special figure is determined, and in the processing of S517, the loss of the lost is determined based on the random number for fluctuation pattern determination. A variation pattern is determined, and in the process of S527 of FIG. 18, the variation start of the special figure when the special figure display device 28 is lost, the variation start of the special figure when the special integrated display device 42, the effect design control device 43 is lost. The command corresponding to is transmitted, and the process moves to the "special game process".

  In the process of S501 of FIG. 16, if the special figure is changing (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 19, it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has elapsed in the process of S540 (S540: yes). , The command corresponding to the special symbol fixed symbol is transmitted to the fixed symbol display of the special symbol display device 28, the sub integrated control device 42, and the effect symbol control device 43 by the fixed symbol display setting process of S541.

  Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the special figure confirmed and displayed in the process of S542 is a winning combination. If the winning combination is a winning combination (S542: yes), the probability variation flag is "1" (during probability variation). If so (S543: yes), the probability variation flag is reset to "0" (S544), and if the opening extension flag is "1" (time saving) (S545: yes), the opening extension flag is set to "0". It is reset (S426). By these processes, the gaming state during the big hit game is reset to the normal state.

Then, the operation of the condition device is started (S547), and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started (S548). The condition device is a device required to operate the accessory continuous operation device in the big hit game, and the role product continuous operation device is a device that operates the special electric auditors product 25 continuously (two rounds).
Then, a command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 to start the big hit start effect by the big hit start effect process (S549), and the process moves to the "special game process".

  In the process of S542, if the combination is not a big hit (S542: no), whether or not the probability variation flag is "1" is confirmed in the process of S550, and if the probability variation flag is "1" (S550: yes). , S551, the probability variation counter for limiting the probability variation is subtracted. Next, if the probability variation counter is "0" in the process of S552 (S552: yes), the number of fluctuations of the special figure has reached the limit of the probability variation game, so the probability variation flag is reset to "0" (S553). , "Special game processing".

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S502 of FIG. 16 (S502: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed (S560: yes), the confirmed symbol display ends. In the process (S561), the command for ending the fixed symbol display of the special symbol display device 28, the sub integrated control device 42, and the effect symbol control device 43 is transmitted to the special symbol display device 43, and the process moves to the "special game process".

The "special game process" shown in FIG. 21 corresponds to the special symbol per game executing means in the claims, and first, in the process of S600, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is in operation, If it is in operation (S600: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S601 whether the special winning opening 26 is open. If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S600: no), the process returns.
In the process of S601, if the special winning opening 26 is not open (S601: no), it is confirmed whether or not it is during the big hit game interval (S602), and if it is not during the interval (S602: no), a special figure big hit. It is confirmed whether or not the finish production is in progress (S603). If the big hit finish production is not in progress (S603: no), it is confirmed whether or not the big hit start production time has passed (S604), and the big hit start production time is passed. If confirmed (S604: yes), the special winning opening 26 of the first round is opened in the special winning opening opening process of S605, and the process returns.

  If the special winning opening is being opened in the processing of S601 (S601: yes), as shown in FIG. 22, it is confirmed whether or not there is a winning in the special winning opening 26 (the specified number of winnings) (S610), or the big winning. It is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the mouth 26 has ended (S611), and if any can be confirmed, the special winning opening 26 is closed (S612), the big hit interval process is executed (S613), and the process returns.

If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S602 (S602: yes), as shown in FIG. 23, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S620, and if it has passed (S620: yes), it is confirmed whether or not it is the final round (second round) (S621), and if it is the final round (S621: yes), the jackpot end effect processing (S622) is executed, and in this processing, The big hit end command is transmitted to the integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S621: no), the special winning opening 26 of the second round is opened by the opening processing of the special winning opening 26 (S623), and the process returns.

  If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S603 of FIG. 21 (S603: yes), as shown in FIG. 24, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S630), and the time elapses. If it confirms (S630: yes), the process (S631) which stops operation | movement of an accessory continuous operation device will be performed, and the process (S632) which stops operation | movement of a conditional device will be performed.

Subsequently, in the processing of S633, it is confirmed whether the probability variation setting flag is "1", and if the probability variation setting flag is "1" (S633: yes), the number of repetitions of the probability variation game (for example, 4 times) is set. (S634), the probability variation flag is set to "1" (S635). As a result, a probability variation game is given after the jackpot game is over.
Next, in the processing of S636, it is confirmed whether or not the opening extension setting flag is "1", and if the opening extension setting flag is "1" (S636: yes), "1" is set to the opening extension flag (S637). ). As a result, an open extension game is given after the jackpot game is over. The processing of S637 corresponds to the opening extension game setting means in the claims. After that, the big hit end command transmission process (S638) of the special figure is executed, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect design control device 43 by this process, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.

  The pachinko machine 1 aims at the universal game hitting game by aiming at the universal figure starting port 22A by left-handing in the normal game. When the game progresses and the universal figure is won, the player switches to right hitting and aims to enter the special figure starting port 24 in the hit game of the universal figure. When there is a ball into the special figure starting port 24, and the success / failure determination of the special figure is performed, it is almost certainly won and the big hit game of the special figure is executed. After the end of the big hit game, the game state is shifted to the probability variation game state and the open extension game state at a high rate. By transitioning to the open extension game state, the probability of winning the universal figure becomes high, and the extension of the universal electrician 23 is extended, so it is easy to enter the special figure starting port 24 and continue the special figure. It is possible to generate a big hit game. Therefore, the player is interested in whether or not the open extended game state can be maintained.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the extended extension game state, if the hit / disapproval judgment of the universal figure is carried out, it is surely won, and after the fluctuation and fixed display of the universal figure, the universal figure per game is executed and the general electrician role. Object 23 is released. Then, if the special figure is judged as to whether or not the special figure is hit by the ball (a) entering the special figure starting port 24 during the opening of the ordinary electric vehicle 23, it will almost certainly be a big hit. The "big hit symbol B" is the most selected as the big hit symbol of the special drawing according to the corresponding judgment, and when the "big hit symbol B" is set, the big hit game of the "big hit symbol B" is carried out accordingly. It
That is, when the variation of the special figure due to the hit determination due to the ball (a) and the confirmation display are finished, the "big hit B" game is started, and the big hit game start interval is carried out. In addition, the opening extension is switched to the inactive state at the start of the "big hit B" game.
The "big hit B" game is a round game of the first round in which the special winning opening 26 (special electric vehicle 25) is opened in a predetermined opening mode after the start interval, an interval between rounds between the round games, and a second round. Round game and big hit end interval are carried out.
When the big hit ending interval ends, the "big hit symbol B" is an open extension symbol, and therefore, the game shifts to the open extension game after the "big hit B" game ends.

In the “big hit B” game, the game time (T1), which is the sum of the special map change time from the start of the special map change to the end of the big hit end interval, the fixed display time, and the big hit game time, is longer than the opening time of the utility battery 23. It has been a long time, and at the end of the "big hit B" game, the general electric utility product 23 has already been closed. In this case, it is possible to enter a plurality of special figure starting ports 24 during opening of the general electric auditors article 23, but since the special figures are not stored on hold, it is not determined whether or not the special figures are hit by these balls. . Of course, prize balls for these incoming balls are paid out, and the player wins many prize balls. Since this pachinko machine 1 has an extremely short opening time of the big winning opening 26 of the big hit game, the main purpose of the ball is to enter the special figure starting opening 24 and a game for winning the prize ball is performed.
According to the "big hit B" game, the extended extended game can be obtained after the end of the game, so that continuous winning of the big hit can be expected and the player can feel secure and satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in the opening extension game state, the hit / fail judgment of the special drawing is carried out by the entrance (a) into the special drawing starting port 24 during the opening of the universal electrician object 23 to make a big hit, and a big hit pattern. When the "big hit symbol A" is set as, the big hit game of "big hit A" is carried out accordingly. When the variation of the special figure of the hit determination due to the entry (a) and the confirmation display are completed, the start interval of the "big hit A" game is carried out, and the opening extension is deactivated at the start of the "big hit A" game. ..

The "big hit A" game is similar to the "big hit B" game, and after the start interval, the special winning opening 26 is opened in a predetermined opening mode, the first round game, the inter-round interval between round games, The round game of the second round and the jackpot end interval are implemented.
When the big hit ending interval ends, the "big hit symbol A" is not an open extension symbol, so the open extension count counter of the limiter is cleared after the "big hit A" game ends, and the open extension game does not start.

While the special map is fluctuating, the confirmation display is on, and during the "big hit A" game, multiple balls can be inserted into the special map starting port 24 by opening the ordinary electric accessory 23, and prize balls are paid out for these entrances. However, since the special figure is not stored on hold, it is not determined whether or not the special figure is hit by entering these balls.
However, the "big hit A" game is the same as those of the "big hit B" game, although the special map change time, the fixed display time, and the two round game time are the same as those of the "big hit B" game. The game time (T2), which is the sum of the figure fluctuation time, the fixed display time, and the jackpot game time, is set to be shorter than the opening time of the jackpot 23, and the jackpot 23 will remain after the "jackpot A" game is finished. It is open. Therefore, it is highly possible that the special drawing is judged to be right or wrong by the ball (b) entering the special drawing starting port 24 after the end of the "big hit A" game while the normal electric utility article 23 is being opened.

The hit determination of the special figure is carried out by the entrance ball (b) to be a big hit, and when the "big hit pattern C" is set as the big hit pattern, the big hit game of "big hit C" is carried out accordingly. In this case, since the "big hit symbol C" is an open extension symbol, the "big hit C" game is shifted to the open extension game after the game is finished, and the open extension counting counter of the limiter is reset to start counting from the beginning. It
As described above, when the "big hit A" and the "big hit C" occur during the single opening period of the normal electric utility article 23, the opening is extended by the "big hit C" and the limiter count becomes the initial value. Therefore, it is possible to get an extra chance to increase the remaining number of consecutive jackpots. For example, the limiter has a limit number of 20 times, and when the open extension jackpot is 15 times in a row (5 remaining until the limit), it becomes a "jackpot A", and immediately after that a "jackpot C" occurs. After the jackpot game is over, the opening is extended and the limiter count returns to the initial value. Therefore, the player feels that the number of consecutive jackpots that can be continued is changed from 5 to 20, and 15 extra points are added. This can improve the player's sense of tension and expectation.
Also, although not shown in the figure, when the "big hit A" and then the "big hit B" occur during the single opening period of the general electric utility product 23, the "big hit A" is followed by the "big hit C". Like, the "big hit symbol B" is an open extension symbol, so after the "big hit B" game is finished, it is an extended extension game, and the limiter count becomes the initial value, so it is possible to continue. You get an extra chance to increase the number of remaining jackpots.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27, the "big hit A" is a big hit due to the ball (b) entering the special figure starting port 24 after the game is finished, and the "big hit symbol A" is set as the big hit symbol, and in response thereto. Even if the "big hit A" big hit game is carried out, the "big hit symbol A" is not an open extension symbol, and therefore, after the "big hit A" game is finished, it does not shift to the open extension game, so the above-mentioned additional chance is a failure.

As shown in FIG. 28, in the opening extension game state and while the limiter is operating, whether or not the special figure is valid is judged by the ball (a) entering the special figure starting port 24 during the opening of the universal electric part 23. It becomes a big hit, and when the "big hit symbol B" is set as the big hit symbol, the big hit game of "big hit B" is carried out accordingly. When the variation of the special figure due to the hit determination due to the entrance (a) and the confirmation display are completed, the start interval of the "big hit B" game is carried out, and the opening extension is inactive with the start of the "big hit B" game. Is switched to.
After the "big hit B" game is over, the "big hit pattern B" is an open extension design, but since the limiter is activated, it is not an open extension game, and the limiter is not open after the "big hit B" game is finished. It will be activated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29, in the open extension game state and while the limiter is operating, a big hit is judged by a special figure due to a ball (a) entering the special figure starting port 24 during the opening of the universal electrician 23. Then, when the "big hit symbol C" is set as the big hit symbol, the big hit game of "big hit C" is carried out accordingly. When the variation of the special figure due to the ball entering (a) and the fixed display are finished, the start interval of the "big hit C" game is carried out, and the opening extension is switched to the inoperative state at the start of the "big hit C" game.

The “big hit C” game is the same as the “big hit A” game and the “big hit B” game, and after the start interval, the big winning opening 26 is opened in a predetermined opening mode, a first round game, a round game. The inter-round interval, the round game of the second round, and the jackpot end interval are carried out.
When the big hit ending interval ends, the "big hit symbol C" is an open extension symbol, but it is regulated by a limiter, so the "big hit symbol C" game does not shift to the open extension game after the end of the game. Incidentally, the limiter is switched to the non-operation after the "big hit C" game is over.

While the special map is fluctuating, confirmed, or playing "big hit C", multiple balls can be inserted into the special map starting port 24 by opening the ordinary electric vehicle 23, and prize balls are paid out for these entrances. However, since the special figure is not stored on hold, it is not determined whether or not the special figure is hit by entering these balls.
However, in the "big hit C" game, the game time (T3), which is the sum of the special map change time from the start of special map change to the end of the big hit end interval, the fixed display time and the big hit game time, is the same as that of the "big hit A" game. It is the same as (T2) and is set to a time shorter than the opening time of the general electric accessory 23. Therefore, even after the end of the "big hit C" game, the general electric accessory 23 is open. For this reason, it is highly possible that the special drawing is judged to be right or wrong by the ball (b) entering the special drawing starting port 24 after the "big hit C" game is finished while the normal electric utility article 23 is being opened.

The hit determination of the special figure is carried out by the entrance ball (b) to be a big hit, and when the "big hit pattern C" is set as the big hit pattern, the big hit game of "big hit C" is carried out accordingly. In this case, since the "big hit symbol C" is an open extension symbol, the "big hit C" game is shifted to the open extension game after the game is finished, and the open extension counting counter of the limiter is reset to start counting from the beginning. It
As described above, after the limiter is activated, if the "big hit C" occurs continuously during one opening period of the utility electric device 23, the opening is extended by the latter "big hit C", and the limiter count is initially set. Since the value becomes a value, the player can get a chance to pull back the game state in which the big hit can be continuously pulled back, and thus the player's sense of tension and expectation can be improved.
Although not shown in the figure, when the "big hit C" and then the "big hit C" occur during the single opening period of the UHON DENKI Yakuhin 23, the "big hit C" and then the "big hit C" occur. Similarly, since the "big hit symbol B" is an open extension symbol, it is considered as an extended extension game after the "big hit symbol B" game is finished, and the limiter count becomes the initial value, so that the big hit can be continued. You get a chance to pull back as if you were pulling back.
Although illustration is omitted, in the open extension game state and the limiter is operating, it is a big hit in the special figure judgment by the ball (a) entering the special figure starting port 24 during the opening of the universal electrician 23. The same applies when the "big hit symbol A" is set as the big hit symbol. When the "big hit A" followed by the "big hit B or C" occurs in the single opening period of the general electric utility product 23, the "big hit B or C" is an open extension pattern, so "big hit B or C". After the game is over, the game is played as an open extension game, and the limiter count becomes the initial value, so that a chance of pulling back can be obtained as if a game state in which a big hit can be continued has been pulled back.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 30, the "big hit C" is a big hit due to the ball (b) entering the special figure starting port 24 after the game is finished, and the "big hit symbol A" is set as the big hit symbol, and in response thereto. Even if the "big hit A" big hit game is carried out, since the "big hit symbol A" is not an extended extension symbol, the pullback chance is unsuccessful because it does not shift to the open extended game after the "big hit A" game. Regardless of whether or not the limiter is activated, if the jackpot game that occurs in the ball (b) during the single opening period of the ordinary electric accessory 23 is "jackpot A", the game ends.

According to the present embodiment, the opening is not extended after the jackpot game is over, but the playing time, which is the sum of the fluctuation time of the special figure, the fixed display time, and the jackpot game time, is shorter than the opening time of the ordinary electric utility product 23. Set the "big hit A" and the extension after the big hit game is extended, and the playing time of the special time, the fixed display time, and the big hit playing time is longer than the opening time of the ordinary electric service 23. Set the "big hit B", and after the big hit game is finished, the opening is extended and the playing time, which is the sum of the fluctuation time of the special figure, the fixed display time and the big hit playing time, is shorter than the opening time of the ordinary electric service 23. Since the set "big hit C" is provided (because it is feasible), even if "big hit A" occurs at the time of extension extension, "big hit B" or "big hit" during the remaining open period The occurrence of "C" can be extended again. Further, even after the limiter is activated, the "big hit A" or "big hit C" occurs, and the "big hit B" or "big hit C" occurs during the opening period of the rest of the electric utility products 23, so that the opening is extended again. it can.
On the other hand, even if the "big hit A" occurs when the opening is extended, if the "big hit A" occurs during the opening period of the rest of the utility electric parts 23, the opening is not extended and the "big hit B" is generated even after the limiter is activated. When occurs, the opening is not extended.
Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the game such as whether or not to continue the extension of the opening, to improve the tension and the expectation, and to realize a game with rich interest.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the variation time of the special map is 1 second, the fixed time of the special figure is 0.50 seconds, the required time for the big hit game (start interval, first and second rounds, interval between rounds). , End interval) is 2.50 seconds at maximum for "big hit A" (start INT: 0.75 seconds, first round: 0.25 seconds, INT between rounds: 0.50 seconds, second round: 0.25) Seconds, end INT: 0.75 seconds), "big hit B" has a maximum of 5.50 seconds (start INT: 2.0 seconds, first round: 0.25 seconds, INT between rounds: 1.0 seconds, second) Round: 0.25 seconds, end INT: 2.0 seconds, and in "big hit C", a maximum of 2.50 seconds (start INT: 0.75 seconds, first round: 0.25 seconds, INT between rounds: 0. 50 seconds, second round: 0.25 seconds, end INT: 0.75 seconds).
In other words, the time that changes depending on the return of the game ball is the time required for the round and the other times do not change, so "big hit A" is 2.0 seconds or longer, "big hit B" is 5.0 seconds or longer, The “big hit C” requires 2.0 seconds or more.
The game configuration of this pachinko machine 1 is that the special figure starts to change when the special figure hits and the ball is inserted into the general electric actor 23 (special figure starting port 24) that is opened, and the special figure is changed. Considering that the big hit game is executed by confirming with the big hit design, "the fluctuation time of the special drawing (1 second) + the time required for the big hit A or C (2.0 to 2.5 seconds) <Boden "Opening time of the object 23 (5.78 seconds or 5.80 seconds)", "Variation time of special map (1 second) + time required for jackpot B (5.0 to 5.5 seconds) ≥ Fuden-gaku 23 "Opening time (5.78 seconds or 5.80 seconds)" is established.
Almost all of the game balls that have been shot flow down near Poden, and almost all of the prizes are awarded with Poden open, so the maximum time expected from the opening of Poden to winning is 0. It will be about 9 seconds, and at the end of "big hit B", the open fuyuminaku things before the start of "big hit B" are already closed, but at the end of "big hit A and C" It means that the opening has been continued.
Therefore, by satisfying all the conditions described above, when the "big hit A" is ended when the limiter is not activated, and when the "big hit A and C" are ended when the limiter is activated, the player has a different chance to add or pull back. Will come.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to each of the above-described embodiments, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be variously implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the "big hit symbol A" and the corresponding "big hit symbol A", the "big hit symbol B" and the corresponding "big hit symbol B", the "big hit symbol C" and the corresponding "big hit symbol C". Although it is a configuration provided with at least "big hit symbol A" and corresponding "big hit A", "big hit symbol B" and corresponding "big hit symbol B", at least "big hit symbol B" Corresponding "big hit B", "big hit design C" and corresponding "big hit C" configuration, at least "big hit design A" and corresponding "big hit A", "big hit design C" The configuration may be such that a “big hit C” corresponding thereto is provided. "The total time of the opening time of the special electric utility product 23" and the "variable time of the special map, the fixed time, the required time of the big hit game (start interval, first and second rounds, inter-round interval, end interval)" Any time may be set as long as the relationship with
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the special figure is won with a probability of almost 100%, and the special figure is not reserved for storage. However, the probability of winning the special figure is reduced and the special figure is stored for reservation. May be Further, in the above-described embodiment, the function of changing the special figure is provided, but the configuration may not be provided. Furthermore, it has a normal symbol probability fluctuation function that makes the probability of winning a general figure a high probability, and an opening extension function that extends the opening time of a general electric figure, but apart from them, a normal symbol time saving that shortens the fluctuation time of a general figure It may have a function. The open extension game may be a game in which only the normal symbol probability fluctuation function operates among the normal symbol probability fluctuation function, the open extension function, and the normal symbol time saving function, and at least the normal symbol probability fluctuation function operates, and the open extension function or It may be a game in which the normal symbol time saving function operates.

  Further, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, the enclosed game balls are shot toward a game area of a game board, and the shot game balls are collected and collected. It may be applied to an enclosed type pachinko machine that performs a game by cyclically using a predetermined number of game balls inside by firing the ball again.
