The result of the determination of whether or not the normal symbol is a win, and when the normal symbol hits the normal symbol display device and the normal symbol is fixedly displayed, an ordinary electric accessory that operates to open in a predetermined mode,
With the first special symbol starting port that can always enter the ball,
A second special symbol starting opening provided when the normal electric accessory is closed or difficult to enter, and when the normal electric accessory is opened, it is possible or easy to enter.
While the first special symbol due to the entrance into the special symbol starting port to determine the propriety of the second special symbol due to the entry into the second special symbol starting port With a special symbol hit determination means to execute,
If the result of the determination result of the first special symbol or the determination of the second special symbol is a big hit, a big hit game is executed, and after the big hit game is finished, it is more advantageous than the normal game state to obtain the big hit. are transferable to award gaming state, it consists to an advantageous state for the player by and big hit occurring at advisability judgment of the second special symbol than propriety determination of the first special symbol In the gaming machine,
The normal symbol variation pattern determination means, as a variation table for determining the variation pattern of the normal symbol, a first variation table, a second variation table having a shorter average variation time than the first variation table, and the second variation. A third fluctuation table having an average fluctuation time shorter than that of the table ,
The normal symbol variation pattern determination means, due to being determined as a small hit only in the hit determination of the first special symbol by the special symbol hit determination means in the non-bonus game state other than the bonus game state serial switches the variation table for determining a variation pattern of the normal symbol before symbol first variation table to the second variation table, and wherein the switching Rukoto and shifts to the award gaming state to the third variation table.

In the present invention, the privilege game state that is more advantageous in winning the jackpot than the normal game state is preferably, for example, a time saving game state. The time saving game state is a gaming state in which the variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened, the probability of winning the ordinary symbol becomes high, and the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors is extended. In this case, the variation pattern of the normal symbol in the time reduction gaming state, that determine the only time reduction variation table (Third variation table).
Further, in the present invention, as a state advantageous to the player because a big hit occurs in the hit determination of the second special symbol than the hit determination of the first special symbol, the second special rather than the hit determination of the first special symbol. It is desirable to increase the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the big hit game by determining whether or not the symbols are hit, and to increase the probability of shifting to the special game state after the big hit game is finished.

According to this invention, in the non-privilege gaming state other than the privilege gaming state, if the small hit is won only by the winning/non-judgment judgment of the first special symbol, the average variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened, and thus the normal electric per unit time The number of times the character is released increases. Therefore, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of times of winning the normal symbol even in the normal game state. As a result, the number of balls entering the second special symbol starting port is increased, and it is possible to configure a new game property such that the chances of determining whether or not the second special symbol is won can be increased. Therefore, even if the state of the special symbol does not change, it is possible to create a favorable state for the player, the interest of the game is rich, the game is not monotonous, and it is possible to increase the motivation of the player for the game. It is possible to provide an amusement machine.
Furthermore, the big hit of the second special symbol is more advantageous than the first special symbol, it is possible for the player to win a lot of prize balls in the big hit game, and the probability of shifting to the probability variation game state after the big hit game is high, which is advantageous for the player. Therefore, if a small hit is drawn with the first special symbol, the chances of a big hit with the second special symbol are increased to be in a substantially advantageous state.

The invention according to claim 2 is
Ordinary pattern starting port,
A normal symbol hit/miss determination means for executing the hit/damage determination of the normal symbol due to the entry of the game ball into the normal symbol starting opening.

While the first special symbol due to the entrance into the special symbol starting port to determine the propriety of the second special symbol due to the entry into the second special symbol starting port With a special symbol hit determination means to execute,
If the result of the determination result of the first special symbol or the determination of the second special symbol is a big hit, a big hit game is executed, and after the big hit game is finished, it is more advantageous than the normal game state to obtain the big hit. are transferable to award gaming state, it consists to an advantageous state for the player by and big hit occurring at advisability judgment of the second special symbol than propriety determination of the first special symbol In the gaming machine,
The normal symbol variation pattern determination means, as a variation table for determining the variation pattern of the normal symbol, a first variation table, a second variation table having a shorter average variation time than the first variation table, and the second variation. A third fluctuation table having an average fluctuation time shorter than that of the table ,
The normal symbol variation pattern determination means, due to being determined as a small hit only in the hit determination of the first special symbol by the special symbol hit determination means in the non-bonus game state other than the bonus game state serial switches the variation table for determining a variation pattern of the normal symbol before symbol first variation table to the second variation table, without the switching so that the process proceeds to the benefits gaming state to the third variation table,
And, the normal symbol variation pattern determination means, as a condition to switch from the second variation table to the first variation table, when the ordinary symbol is won or not, when the number of times the ordinary symbol is judged to have reached a predetermined number of times. When, when the high probability state that the probability of being judged as a big hit by the special symbol winning/judgment means is higher than the normal state, when the switching lottery is performed at a predetermined timing and the winning is won, the winning/losing of the first special symbol the Koatari the decision is limited to the combination of any plurality of types of conditions of when occurred you characterized.

According to this invention, in the non-privilege gaming state other than the privilege gaming state, if the small hit is won by the winning/non-judgment determination of the first special symbol, the average variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened, and thus the ordinary electric winning combination per unit time Increases the number of times the object is released. Therefore, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of times of winning the normal symbol even in the normal game state. As a result, the number of balls entering the second special symbol starting port is increased, and it is possible to configure a new game property such that the chances of determining whether or not the second special symbol is won can be increased. Therefore, even if the state of the special symbol does not change, it is possible to create a favorable state for the player, the interest of the game is rich, the game is not monotonous, and it is possible to increase the motivation of the player for the game. It is possible to provide an amusement machine. Further, the big hit of the second special symbol than the first special symbol, it is possible for the player to win a lot of prize balls in the big hit game, and the probability of shifting to the probability variation game state after the big hit game is high, which is advantageous for the player. Therefore, if a small hit is drawn with the first special symbol, the chances of a big hit with the second special symbol are increased to be in a substantially advantageous state.
Furthermore, since a plurality of types of conditions for switching from the second variation table to the first variation table are set, the following effects can be obtained according to the conditions. For example, if one of the conditions is that the number of times of judging whether or not an ordinary symbol reaches a predetermined number of times is one of the conditions, the advantage greatly changes depending on how many times the ordinary symbol can be won within a limited number of times. It is possible to set a period when the degree of attention is higher in the determination of whether or not the winning symbol is normal than in the determination of whether or not the special symbol is determined.
If one of the conditions is the time of shifting to the privilege game state, the shift to the privilege game state is through the big hit, so that the advantageous second variation table is maintained until the big hit, so that the advantage is particularly high. Can be configured.
If one of the conditions is that the probability of being judged as a big hit by the special symbol judgment means is higher than the normal state when the high probability state ends, the big change until the situation that the probability variation game state ends occurs. The second variation table can be continued even after a plurality of times, and a very long-term advantageous state can be created.
If one of the conditions is that the lottery is performed at a predetermined timing (such as when determining whether or not a normal symbol is won or not), it is possible to make the lottery interesting whether or not the second variation table is switched to the first variation table. it can.
If one of the conditions is that a small hit occurs in the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is won, the small hit becomes a start cause and an end cause of the second variation table, and the winning timing of the small hit can be interesting. ..

The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 210 according to the command sent from the sub integrated control device 42.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
In the pachinko machine 1, when a game ball enters the actuation gate 23 of the universal figure, a judgment of whether or not the universal figure is won is executed based on the extracted random number of the universal figure. At this time, the symbol variation starts on the display of any of the public figure display device 29 and the first to tenth public figure effect display devices 211 to 220, and thereafter, the public figure is displayed on the public figure display device 29, A pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the universal figure is fixedly displayed on any one of the 10th universal figure effect display devices 211 to 220 to notify the result of the hit/miss judgment. If the determination result is a hit, the hit game of the ordinary figure is executed. In the hit game of the universal figure, it is possible to enter the ball into the second special figure starting port 24B by opening the universal electric accessory 26 in a predetermined opening mode.

When the game ball enters the first special figure starting port 24A, the determination of whether the first special figure is valid or not is carried out based on the random number of the extracted first special figure, and the first special figure display device 28A and the effect symbol display device. The symbol fluctuation of 210 is started, and then, the first special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 28A, and the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol is fixedly displayed on the effect symbol display device 210 to notify the determination result. .. If the determination result is a big hit or a small hit, it is possible to enter the special winning combination 25 by opening the special electric auditors object in a predetermined opening mode as a winning game of the first special figure.

On the other hand, when the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 24B, the determination of the second special figure is carried out based on the extracted random number of the second special figure, and the second special figure display device 28B and the effect symbol. The symbol variation of the display device 210 is started, and then the second special symbol is displayed on the second special symbol display device 28B, and the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the second special symbol is fixedly displayed on the effect symbol display device 210 to determine the determination result. Notify me. If the determination result is a big hit or a small hit, it is possible to enter the special winning combination into the special winning opening 25 by opening the special electric auditors object in a predetermined opening mode as a winning game of the second special figure.

The pachinko machine 1 becomes a big hit by the judgment result of the first special map or the judgment judgment of the second special map, and after the big hit game is over, as a privilege game state advantageous for the next big hit, the second special map start opening 24B. In order to make it easier to enter the ball and to increase the chances of determining whether the second special map is true or false, the symbol variation time of the universal pattern is shortened, and the probability of winning the universal symbol is changed with a high probability (probability change) and When the opening time of the accessory 26 is extended, it is possible to shift to the short game mode. Further, after the jackpot game is over, the jackpot probability of the first special figure and the second special figure is shifted to a probability variation game state in which the probability is high for a predetermined period so as to be advantageous for winning the big hit.

FIG. 5 shows the game specifications of the pachinko machine 1, and the jackpot probability of the first special diagram and the second special diagram is “99.90244/1 (656/65536)” when the probability is low (normal). It is set. On the other hand, the high probability time (probability change) is set to "1/99.75038 (657/65536)", and the difference between the two is small.
The small hit probability of the first special map is set to "1/99.90444 (656/65536)". The probability does not change depending on the game state. Moreover, the small hit determination is not made in the second special drawing.

The “number of reserved storages” in the first special figure and the second special figure is set to “4”.
The hit probability of the general figure is set to “1/99.90444 (656/65536)” at low probability (normal) and “1/0000 (65536 minutes) at high probability (shortened time)”. 65536)".
The "number of prize balls" of the special winning opening 25 (special electric utility product) is set to "15" per one ball.
The "number of prize balls" of the second special map starting port 24B (universal electric power product 26) is set to "1" for each ball entered.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pachinko machine 1 is a big hit symbol that is confirmed and displayed at the time of a big hit, as a "first special figure 4R time short design", "first special figure 16R time short design", and "second special figure 4R". There are four types of symbols including "time saving symbols" and "second special figure 16R time saving symbols".
In the pachinko machine 1, the number of rounds of the big hit game is set according to each symbol. For example, in the "1st special map 4R time-short design" or "2nd special map 4R time-short design", which is "4 rounds", "1st special figure 16R time-short design" or "2nd special pattern" In FIG. 16R “Time saving design”, it is set to “16 rounds”.

At the time of the big hit determination of the first special figure, the symbol ratio for which "the first special figure 4R time shortened symbol" is selected is about 80%. The symbol ratio in which the "first special figure 16R time saving symbol" is selected is about 20%.
At the time of the big hit determination of the second special figure, the symbol ratio for which "the second special figure 4R time shortened symbol" is selected is about 80%. The symbol ratio for which "the second special figure 16R time saving symbol" is selected is about 20%.

After the big hit game by the "1st special figure 4R time reduction symbol", it shifts to the probability variation game state, and the probability variation game until the number of fluctuations (the number of times of success/failure determination) of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times. The state is maintained. Also, in the big hit by the "first special figure 4R time saving symbol", when the game state at the time of winning/deciding determination is the probability variation game state and the time saving game state, the time shifts to the time saving game state after the big hit game finishes, and the first special figure and the first special figure. The time saving game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of 2 special maps reaches 100 times.

After the big hit game by "1st special figure 16R time shortened symbol", it shifts to the probability variation game state, and the probability variation game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special diagram and the second special diagram reaches 100 times. .. In addition, in the big hit by the "1st special figure 16R time saving symbol", the gaming state at the time of winning/deciding determination is a normal variation (low probability, non-time saving), a certain variation game state (high probability, non-time reduction), a certain variation. In the game state and in the time saving game state, the time saving game state is maintained after the jackpot game is completed, and the time saving game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special diagram and the second special diagram reaches 100 times.

After the big hit game by "2nd special figure 4R time shortened symbol", it shifts to the probability variation game state, and the probability variation game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times. .. In addition, in the big hit by the "second special figure 4R time saving symbol", when the game state at the time of judgment of winning or losing is a normal game state (low probability, non-time saving), it is a certain change game state (high probability, non time saving), a certain change In the game state and in the time saving game state, the time saving game state is maintained after the jackpot game is completed, and the time saving game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special diagram and the second special diagram reaches 100 times.

After the big hit game by the "second special figure 16R time shortened symbol", it shifts to the probability variation game state, and the probability variation game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times. .. In addition, in the big hit by the "second special figure 16R time saving symbol", the game state at the time of winning/decision determination is a normal change state (low probability, non-time saving), a certain change game state (high probability, non-time saving), a certain change In the game state and in the time saving game state, the time saving game state is maintained after the jackpot game is completed, and the time saving game state is maintained until the number of fluctuations of the first special diagram and the second special diagram reaches 100 times.

Although the pachinko machine 1 has a probability variation gaming state, there is not much difference in the winning probability between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. On the other hand, in the time saving game state, the winning probability of the universal figure fluctuates from 1/99.90444 to 1/10000. Therefore, in the normal game state, how quickly the regular figure is won, and then the Although the main game is to win the 2 special map, the main game is how to win the second special map because the general figure is surely won when the time saving game state is reached.
In addition, in the time saving state, since the universal electric accessory 26 is opened every time the universal figure changes, a game can be played without reducing the number of balls held, which is a very advantageous state.

The pachinko machine 1 is equipped with a plurality of general figure fluctuation tables that are used to determine the fluctuation pattern (variation time, etc.) of the general figure that fluctuates according to whether or not the general figure is valid, and depending on the conditions during the game. This is a configuration for switching the fluctuation table.
As shown in FIG. 7, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with three types of tables, that is, a “first fluctuation table”, a “second fluctuation table”, and a “time saving fluctuation table”, as shown in FIG. 7. Each of the “first fluctuation table”, the “second fluctuation table” and the “time saving fluctuation table” is composed of plural kinds of fluctuation patterns, and when the fluctuation pattern is determined, one fluctuation pattern is determined from these.

In the “first fluctuation table”, the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern is set to about 10 seconds. The "first fluctuation table" is set so as to determine the fluctuation pattern in the normal gaming state (low probability, non-time saving) or the probability variation gaming state (high probability, non-time saving).
In the "second fluctuation table", the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern is set to about 1 second. The "second variation table" is a normal game state (low probability, non-time saving, corresponding to a non-privilege game state other than the privilege game state described in the claims) or a probability variation game state (high probability, non-time saving, patent). In a non-privilege game state other than the privilege game state described in the claims), if it is determined as a small hit in the hit determination of the first special figure, the first change table is switched, and a predetermined switching condition is satisfied. It is set to determine the fluctuation pattern until.
In the "time saving fluctuation table", the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern is set to about 0.8 seconds. The "time saving fluctuation table" is set so as to determine a fluctuation pattern in a time saving game state (when the probability is low and the time is short or when the probability is high and the time is short).

Further, when the "second fluctuation table" is set as the fluctuation table that determines the fluctuation pattern of the general figure, the pachinko machine 1 shifts to a predetermined effect mode during the period in which the "second fluctuation table" is set. .. This suggests to the player that the “second fluctuation table” is set.

FIG. 8 shows a switching condition A of the universal figure fluctuation table of the pachinko machine 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the switching condition of the “first fluctuation table” is the occurrence of the small hit in the first special figure, and the switching condition is set to shift to the second fluctuation table.
The switching condition of the "second fluctuation table" (second fluctuation table end condition) is that the universal figure is won in the judgment of win/fail, and accordingly, the transition to the first fluctuation table is set.
In this way, in the normal game state, the game is advanced toward the big hit by the hit determination in the first special map, but if the small hit is made, the ordinary figure fluctuation table becomes the second variation table, and the hit or hit of the ordinary figure per unit time. The number of times judgments are executed increases. When the universal map is won, the universal electric vehicle 26 provided with the starting port of the second special map is opened, so that it is possible to obtain an opportunity to judge whether or not the second special map is more advantageous than the first special map. .. Also, when the universal figure is won, the universal figure variation table is switched to the first variation table .
From this, the game playability of the pachinko machine 1 gives a chance to judge whether or not the small special hit is awarded in the second special map, and not only the small hit can obtain a prize ball, but also the first special map. An advantageous state occurs in which an opportunity for determining whether or not the winning is achieved in the advantageous second special figure is given.
The switching condition of the "time saving fluctuation table" is that the number of times of fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times and the time saving game state ends, and thus the setting is made to shift to the first fluctuation table. Has been done.

The details of the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described below based on the program processing executed by the main controller 40.
FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a "main routine" executed by the main control device 40. The "main routine" is composed of the main processing (S100 to S110, S115) and the residual processing (S111) and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined 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, and 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 (S100: yes), an initial value random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number update process (S102), which is a random number for determining whether the first special diagram or the second special diagram is valid, the first special diagram Or update processing of random numbers for determining big hit symbols of the second special figure (S103), update processing of random numbers for hit determination of general figures (S104), for reach determination regarding reach of general figures, first special figure or second special figure Random number update processing (S105), variation pattern determination random number update processing (S106), winning confirmation processing (S107), winning/disapproval determination processing (S108), output processing (S109), fraud monitoring processing (S110). Then, the initial value random number updating process (S111) is looped within the remaining time until the interrupt signal is input next.

Next, a part of the subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S107), the winning/judging determination processing (S108), and the output processing (S109) that are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
In the "starting ball confirmation process" shown in FIG. 10, various random numbers for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the operation gate 23 of the game map are mainly stored as a reserved memory of the game map. It is stored in the control device 40. In addition, various random numbers for determining whether or not the first special figure is hit when the game ball enters the first special figure starting opening 24A are stored in the main control device 40 as a reserved memory of the first special figure. .. Further, various random numbers for determining whether or not the second special figure is hit when the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 24B are stored in the main control device 40 as a reserved memory of the second special figure. .. Then, it becomes a process of transmitting various commands resulting from the ball entering the operation gate 23, the first special figure starting port 24A and the second special figure starting port 24B to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43.

In the "starting ball confirmation process", first, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation SW 503 detects the ball entering the operation gate 23 (S200). If there is no ball (S200:no), the process proceeds to S205. If there is a ball entering the actuation gate 23 (S200: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of pending storages of the universal map stored in the main control device 40 is full (S201). If it is full (S201: yes), the process proceeds to S205.

If the pending storage is not full (S201: no), random numbers for hit determination, random numbers for hit symbol determination, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers, etc. are extracted, and the various extracted random numbers are extracted. It is stored as the reserved memory in the figure, and 1 is added to the reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories (S202).

Then, the prefetching determination process of the universal figure is executed (S203). In this processing, it is determined whether or not the numerical value of the hit determination random number of the universal figure related to the pending storage that is newly stored is a specific value (a value that is a hit in the hit determination) before the determination of the hit/miss of the universal figure described later. Is performed to determine whether or not the reach is reached.
Next, the holding number instruction command indicating the value of the added holding storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S204).

In the process of S205, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol starting SW 504 has detected a ball entering the first special symbol starting opening 24A. If there is no entry (S205: no), the process proceeds to S210. If there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 24A (S205: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of the reserved memories of the first special figure stored in the main control device 40 is full (S206). .. If it is full (S206: yes), the process proceeds to S210.

If the pending storage is not full (S206: no), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. of the first special figure are extracted, and the various extracted random numbers are extracted. Is stored as the reserved memory of the first special figure, and 1 is added to the reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories (S207).

Then, the prefetching determination process of the first special figure is executed (S208). In this processing, the numerical value of the newly stored hit determination random number for the first special figure related to the pending storage is a specific value (a value that is a big hit in the success/failure determination) before the success determination of the first special figure described later. It is determined whether or not the reach is reached.
Next, the hold number instruction command indicating the added value of the hold storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S209).

Next, it is determined whether or not a ball entering the second special symbol starting opening 24B is detected by the second special symbol starting SW 505 (S210). If there is no ball (S210:no), the process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main controller 40. If there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 24B (S210: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories of the second special figure stored in the main control device 40 is full (S211). .. If it is full (S211: yes), the process returns.

If the reserved memory is not full (S211: no), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. of the second special figure are extracted, and the various extracted random numbers are extracted. Is stored as the reserved memory of the second special figure, and 1 is added to the reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories (S212).

Then, the pre-reading determination processing of the second special figure is executed (S213). In this process, the newly stored numerical value of the random number for hit determination of the second special figure related to the pending storage is a specific value (a value that is a big hit in the success/failure determination) before the success/failure determination of the second special figure described later. It is determined whether or not the reach is reached.
Next, the hold number instruction command indicating the value of the added hold storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S214).

11 to 14 show flowcharts of the "universal figure validity determination process".
As shown in FIG. 11, in the "universal figure appropriateness determination process", first, it is determined whether or not the general electric utility product 26 is in operation (S300), and if it is not in operation (S300: no), It is determined whether or not is changing (S301). If it is not changing (S301: no), it is determined whether the fixed symbol of the universal figure is being fixedly displayed (S302). Incidentally, if the general electric accessory 26 is in operation (S300: yes), the process shifts to the "universal figure game processing" (see FIG. 12).

In the process of S302, if the fixed symbol of the universal figure is not being displayed (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not there is a pending memory of the universal symbol (S310). If there is a general-use pending storage (S310: yes), the number of pending storages is subtracted and the general-purpose pending storage shift processing is performed (S311). By the shift process, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the public figure is the object of the hit/fail judgment.
If there is no general-use figure pending storage (S310: no), the process proceeds to "universal figure game processing".

Next, it is determined whether or not the current game state is a normal variation state (S312). If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), the determination process is performed by comparing the hit determination table at the probability change with the hit determination random number of the pending storage that is the target of the hit determination (S313).
If the probability change is not in progress (S312: no), the determination process is performed by comparing the hit probability determination table of the normal probability with the hit determination random number (S314).

Whether or not the result of the determination process of S313 or S314 is a universal figure is determined (S315). It corresponds to a normal symbol validity determining means described in the scope of claims.
If it is a universal symbol (S315: yes), the universal symbol is determined based on the random symbol for determining the universal symbol in the pending storage that is the object of the hit determination (S316).
Next, a variation pattern such as the variation time of the winning symbol of the universal figure is determined (S317).
In the process of S315, if it is not per ordinary drawing (S315: no), the variation pattern such as the variation time of the lost pattern of the ordinary drawing is determined (S318).
The processing of S317 and S318 shifts in the "universal figure variation pattern determination processing" to determine the variation pattern.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the “universal figure variation pattern determination process”, a variation pattern is determined based on the random number for general pattern variation pattern determination of the pending storage that is the object of the hit determination. The universal figure variation pattern determination process corresponds to the universal figure variation pattern determination means described in the claims.
This process first determines whether or not the current game state is a time saving game state (S350). If it is not the time saving game state (S350: no), in the processing of S351, it is determined whether or not the second variation table flag indicating that the variation pattern of the universal figure is determined from the second variation table is "1". .. If the second fluctuation table flag is not "1" (S351: no), it is determined whether or not the small hit of the first special figure occurs in the process of S352. If there is no small hit (S352: no), the variation pattern is determined from the first variation table in the process of S353. As a result, the fluctuation pattern of the general figure becomes a normal long fluctuation time. After determining the variation pattern from the first variation table, the process returns to the main routine of the main controller 40.

If the small hit of the first special figure occurs in the process of S352 (S352: yes), the fluctuation pattern is determined from the second fluctuation table in the process of S355. Then, "1" is set to the second fluctuation table flag (S356). In this process, it is desirable to confirm whether or not the second fluctuation table flag is "1", and otherwise set "1". Due to the processing of S355, the fluctuation pattern of the normal figure has a shorter fluctuation time than usual. Further, the variation pattern of the general figure is determined from the second variation table until the switching condition A is satisfied and the second variation table flag is reset.

If the second variation table flag is "1" in the process of S351 (S351: yes), the variation pattern is determined from the second variation table in the process of S355, as in the affirmative determination of the process of S352. .. Then, "1" is set to the second fluctuation table flag (S356).

If it is the time saving game state in the processing of S350 (S350: yes), the fluctuation pattern is determined from the time saving fluctuation table in the processing of S357. As a result, the fluctuation pattern of the general figure becomes a short time fluctuation.

Returning to FIG. 12, in the process of S319, after the process of S317 or the process of S318, the symbol variation start control of the universal symbol display device 29 is performed, and at the same time to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. A variation start command or the like for starting variation display of the corresponding pseudo effect design is transmitted. It should be noted that this type of command includes a variation pattern of a public figure, a determination result of the acceptance/rejection determination of the general figure, and the like. After that, the process shifts to "universal game processing". In response to the change start command, the change of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the general figure is started on any one of the first to tenth general figure effect display devices 211 to 220.

In the process of S301 of FIG. 11, when the normal figure is changing (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the change time of the symbol has elapsed (S320). If the variable time has not elapsed (S320: no), the process proceeds to "universal figure game processing".
If the variation time of the symbol has elapsed (S320: yes), control for ending the variable display of the universal symbol on the universal symbol display device 29 and confirming the symbol is performed. And the command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the variable display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the universal figure and to confirm and display the pseudo effect symbol (S321). According to the command, the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the general figure is confirmed and displayed on any one of the first to tenth general figure effect display devices 211 to 220.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a winning combination (S322). If the winning combination is a winning combination (S322: no), the "universal figure game process" is entered.
If it is a winning combination (S322: yes), a control command (command) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect design control device 43 so as to start the hit start effect of the universal figure (S323). After that, the process shifts to "universal game processing".

If the fixed symbol of the universal figure is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 11 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is determined whether the fixed symbol display time has ended (S330). If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S330: no), the process proceeds to "universal figure game processing".
If the fixed symbol display time is over (S330: yes), control is performed to end the fixed symbol display of the universal figure display device 29. Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the fixed display of the effect symbol corresponding to the universal figure (S331). After that, the process shifts to "universal game processing".

As shown in FIG. 16, in the "universal figure game process", first, it is determined whether or not the general electric auditor product 26 is in the opening operation (S400). If the general electric accessory 26 is not open (S400: no), it is determined whether or not the general drawing hit end effect is being generated (S401), and if the general figure hit end effect is not in progress (S401: no), the general object It is determined whether or not the hit start effect time has elapsed (S402). If the per-universal figure start production time has elapsed (S402: yes), the general electric accessory 26 is opened (S403). Next, the second fluctuation table flag is reset to "0" (S404). By thus resetting the second fluctuation table flag to "0", the fluctuation table that determines the fluctuation pattern of the general figure is set to the first fluctuation table. Then, the process returns to the main routine of main controller 40.

In the process of S400, if the universal electrician object 26 is in the opening operation (S400: yes), as shown in FIG. 17, the second special figure starting port 24B of the ordinary electrician object 26 has 6 pieces (regular winning number). ) Is determined (S410), or it is determined whether or not the opening time of the universal electric accessory 26 has ended (S411), and if any of the determinations is affirmative (S410 or S411). : Yes), and closes the electric utility product 26 (S412), and executes the per-universal-drawing production end processing (S413). In this process, the universal figure end finish effect execution command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the end effect of the ordinary figure hit game is performed. Then return.

In the process of S401 of FIG. 16, if the per-university-figure end effect is in progress (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, it is determined whether or not the per-university-figure end effect time has passed (end) ( S420). If the end effect time has elapsed (S420: yes), the process of transmitting an end command for universal figure is executed (S421). In this processing, the universal figure end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, the ordinary figure per game is ended, and the process returns.

Next, a display mode relating to the effect display of the general figure associated with the hit/non-defective determination of the general figure will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 25.
Usually, one general-purpose production display is used for the variation of the production design associated with the hit/non-execution determination of the universal design and the design confirmation display. In addition, the effect design (missing effect design) that is fixedly displayed in each display device is determined. For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, “0” is displayed on the first general-purpose production effect display device 211, and the second general-purpose production effect display device 212 to the tenth general-purpose production effect display device 220 rotate clockwise. It is configured to display a numerical value of "1 to 9" as a production design of a general figure (normal loss production design).

Then, as shown in FIG. 19(b), the effect for the hit determination of the first universal figure (including the first hit determination after the hit game of the universal figure is included) is carried out on the first universal figure effect display 211, This is the starting criterion. If the result of the hit/miss judgment is "miss", "0", which is a normal effect effect design, is confirmed and displayed on the first public effect effect display 211.

Next, when a new determination is made on whether or not a general figure is newly made, as shown in FIG. 20(a), it moves clockwise and an effect is performed on the second general effect effect display 212. If the result of the hit/no hit determination is “miss”, the second general effect effect display 212 confirms “1” which is the normal effect effect symbol.
In each of the universal figure effect display devices 211 to 220, the finalized display of the lost effect symbol is continued to be displayed until the next hit determination is carried out in the universal figure effect display devices 211 to 220.
In the pachinko machine 1, by arranging a plurality of ordinary figure effect indicators in a circular ring shape as described above, the result of the acceptance/rejection determination can be obtained in a game configuration in which the determination of acceptance/rejection of the universal figure is made in an extremely short time. It is possible to display for a sufficient time.
The normal pattern of this embodiment is 0.076 seconds in the shortest fluctuation time, and the result of the hit/miss judgment will be displayed with almost no fluctuation display. If this is done with one general-purpose production display, the result of the hit/miss judgment is rewritten before the player confirms it, and it becomes difficult to accurately grasp the result of the hit/miss judgment.
Therefore, by using a plurality of display devices, it is possible to display the history of the result of the hit/fail judgment for a long time, and the display of the result of the hit/fail judgment is displayed while moving clockwise to the adjacent display device. It seems that the thing itself is variably displayed in a roulette shape, and in the case of a loss, it is possible to experience that the winning/deciding determination is effectively performed even if the effect design to be displayed is fixed.
In addition, by arranging in a circular ring shape, since there is no start point and end point, it does not give a sense of discomfort no matter which display device starts displaying the result of the judgment of success or failure, and it is possible to make a round without difficulty even if it makes one round. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 20(b), it is desirable that the display color of the lost effect design finally displayed on the display is gradually made lighter as the result of the hit determination of the older public drawing is increased. In the illustrated example, a state in which the latest result of hit/disapproval determination of the universal figure is displayed on the ninth universal figure effect display device 219 is displayed, and while the effect design of the ninth universal figure effect display device 219 is displayed in a dark color, The effect design of the first universal figure effect display device 211 regarding the old hit determination is displayed in a light color. Further, the display device (the tenth universal figure effect display device 220 in the figure) before the hit determination is turned off.
According to this, it is possible to judge at a glance where the latest universal decision is made, and even if a new result is displayed at the place where the result is displayed, the visibility is poor. Therefore, by turning off the light once, it is possible to effectively notify the result of the hit/miss judgment.

As shown in FIG. 21A, as a reach effect for determining whether or not a general figure is valid, the same numerical value (effect pattern) is displayed on two display devices before the display device that is changing the effect design. In the illustrated example, when the fourth public figure effect display device 214 changes, "1" of the normal lost effect design is fixedly displayed on the second general figure effect display device 212, which is two before the third general effect effect display device 212. On the graphic effect display device 213, a missing effect graphic “1” which is different from the normal one is displayed, which suggests that the reach state is reached.
In this case, when it is determined to perform the reach effect, the third general effect effect display device 213 is used at the same time as not only one of the fourth general effect effect display devices 214 but also the third general effect effect display device 213. It is conceivable that "1" is temporarily stopped at 213 to notify that the reach has been established, and the fourth general-purpose production effect display device 214 gives a variable effect as to whether or not it hits.

Further, as another method, “1”, which is different from the normal one, is fixedly displayed on the third figure effect display 213 by the look-ahead determination process of the figure. That is, there is at least one reserved memory for the universal figure when the winning/disagreement determination of the third universal figure effect display 213 changes (a predetermined number of reserved memories), and the reserved memory for the universal figure is a winning judgment or a reach determination by prefetching. If there is, "1" is confirmed and displayed on the third universal figure effect display device 213 as a reach.

Further, without being limited to these, even if the look-ahead storage of the general figure is not prefetched, the ordinary general display effect symbol "2" is temporarily stopped and displayed (temporarily stopped) on the third general figure effect display device 213, and then, If the hit/reject determination that is symmetrical when the fourth universal figure effect display device 214 changes is a hit or reach determination, the third universal figure effect display device 213 may be changed to “1” (determined display). However, if it is determined that the reach effect is performed without using any of the past display results, the reach effect can be obtained by using the second, third, and fourth ordinary figure effect display devices 212, 213, and 214 with one change. It is possible to execute. If this is the case, after the power is turned on, the reach effect can be produced without a problem even when the lost effect design showing the display result is not displayed, such as when the reach effect is produced by the first variation.
As described above, it is not necessary to use only one display effectively for one variation, and various reach production displays can be performed by utilizing the strengths of the plurality of displays.

After that, if the result of the hit/no hit judgment of the general figure on the fourth general figure effect display device 214 is a hit, as shown in FIG. Is confirmed and displayed, and three identical numerical values (“111”) are confirmed and displayed on the second to fourth ordinary figure effect display devices 212, 213, and 214 to notify the winning of the ordinary figure. On the other hand, at the time of loss, the normal loss effect symbol “3” is fixedly displayed on the fourth ordinary figure effect indicator 214.

As another reach effect of the ordinary figure, as shown in FIG. 22(a), the reach effect may be performed with an effect pattern different from the effect pattern (numerical value) displayed on the display unit at the normal time. In the illustrated example, when the fourth universal figure effect display device 214 changes, the second ordinary figure effect display device 212 in which "1" is normally displayed and the third ordinary figure effect display device in which "2" is normally displayed 213 and 213 are displayed, and reach production is performed. In this case, if there is at least two pending storages of public drawings at the time of change of the winning/disapproving judgment of the second universal drawing effect display 212, and if the second pending storage of public drawings is winning or reach determination by prefetching, the second And, “7” is confirmed and displayed on the third ordinary figure effect display devices 212 and 213.
According to this, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation as a configuration in which the expectation of winning the general figure is high.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22B, the reach effect may be continuously performed to further increase the expectation for winning.
Further, the present invention is not limited to the reach effect, and may be configured to suggest a change in the effect mode or the like by confirming and displaying a symbol different from the normal loss effect symbol.

Further, as a notice of winning of the general figure, not only the reach effect, but as shown in FIG. 23, by designating and displaying a design different from the normal loss effect design, there is a possibility of winning or the like. You may. For example, in the example shown in the figure, the notice is given by displaying "3" on the ninth universal figure effect display device 219 in which "8" is normally displayed.
By displaying "3" in the place where "8" originally stops, it is possible to give the player a sense of discomfort and a sense of expectation for winning even if the reach display is not established.
In this case, since the ninth general-purpose production effect display device 219 has stopped losing at “3”, it indicates that there is expectation of winning in the subsequent hit/miss judgment, and this can be performed when the look-ahead judgment is used. it can. However, even if there is no pre-reading determination, it is sufficient to temporarily stop “3” and then rewrite the result display of other hit/miss determination to establish the reach display.
Further, although the lost symbol is “3”, the expected degree may be represented by which lost symbol is displayed. If odd numbers such as "7" are stopped and displayed, the degree of expectation is high, and if even numbers such as "4" are stopped and displayed, the degree of expectation is low.

After that, in the case of winning in the success/failure judgment of the next universal figure, as shown in FIG. 24, the same numerical value such as “7” is displayed on all the first to tenth universal figure effect indicators 211 to 220. It may be possible to notify the winning of the universal figure by displaying it.
It is also possible to utilize the characteristic that there are 10 general figure effect display devices to express the degree of expectation by how many general figure effect display elements are used for one fluctuation. If the expectation is set to be the highest in the reach production in which all the displays are used, the expectation can be instantly known in the usage situation of the general-purpose production display.

Further, the transition of the effect display according to the hit/no hit judgment of the general figure is not limited to the clockwise direction, and may be the counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG. 25(a) or the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise as shown in FIG. The configuration may be such that the clockwise direction and the clockwise direction are alternately performed. In this case, it is possible to give the player a feeling of strangeness only by using the general-purpose production display device in a different order than usual, and this also has the effect of improving the advance notice and the degree of expectation of the hit.
In addition, after the winning of the universal figure, the effect display relating to the success/failure determination of the universal figure after the end of the game for the universal figure is started from the first universal figure effect display 211 which is the reference.

Next, FIG. 26 to FIG. 30 show flowcharts of the “special figure validity determination processing”. In this process, the winning/non-judgment determination of the first special figure and the winning/non-judgment determination of the second special figure are executed. In this case, the success/failure determination of the second special figure is executed with priority over the success/failure determination of the first special figure. In addition, whether or not the first special drawing and the second special drawing are determined to be the same is substantially the same processing. In the following description, the two are distinguished if necessary, but otherwise the first special drawing and the second special drawing are distinguished. Instead, simply use the “special map”.

As shown in FIG. 26, the "special figure hit/miss determination process" first checks whether or not the special electric officer is inactive, and determines whether or not it is during the big hit game or the small hit game (S500). If the special electric auditors product is operating (S500: no), the process moves to the "special game process" (see FIG. 27). If the special electric auditors product is not in operation and is not in the big hit game or the small hit game (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the first special map or the second special map is in a fluctuation stop (S501). If the fluctuation is stopped (S501: yes), it is determined whether the confirmed symbol of the first special drawing or the second special drawing is not displayed (S502).

If the confirmed symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed in the process of S502 (S502: yes), it is determined whether or not there is a reserved memory of the second special symbol (S503). If there is a reserved memory of the second special figure (S503: yes), the number of reserved memories of the second special figure is subtracted, and shift processing of the reserved memory is performed (S504). Due to the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the second special figure is the object of the hit determination.

If there is no reserved memory for the second special figure in the process of S503 (S503: no), it is determined whether there is reserved memory for the first special figure (S505). If there is a reserved memory of the first special figure (S505: yes), the number of reserved memories of the first special figure is subtracted, and shift processing of the reserved storage is performed (S506). Due to the shift processing, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure is the object of the hit/fail judgment.
If there is no reserved storage of the first special figure (S505: no), the process moves to the "special game process".

Subsequent to the processing of S504 or the processing of S506, in the processing of S510 shown in FIG. 27, the probability variation flag is checked to determine whether the current game state is the probability variation gaming state of the special figure (probability variation flag. If is "1", it is changing.) If the probability variation is in progress (S510: yes), the determination is made by comparing the win/loss determination table at the time of probability variation with the big hit determination random number of the pending storage that is the target of the win/loss determination (S511).
If there is no probability change in the process of S510 (S510: no), the judgment is made by comparing the hit probability determination table of the normal probability with the jackpot determination random number of the pending storage subject to the hit determination (S512).

Then, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the processing of S511 or S512 is a big hit (S513). It corresponds to a special symbol validity determining means described in the claims.
If it is a big hit (S513: yes), in the process of S514, the big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determination random number of the pending storage that is the object of the hit determination. For example, in the case of a big hit of the first special figure, either the "first special figure 4R time-shortened symbol" or the "first special figure 16R time-shortened symbol" is determined. If it is a big hit of the second special figure, either the "second special figure 4R time shortened symbol" or the "second special figure 16R time shortened symbol" is determined.
Subsequently, based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the pending storage which is the object of the hit determination, the variation pattern such as the variation time of the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined (S515).

After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed (S516). In this process, according to the determined big hit pattern, the contents of the big hit game (opening pattern of the special winning opening 25), the certainty change and the shortening of time after the big hit game end, the big hit game executed by the effect symbol display device 210. The opening performance time and ending performance time are set.

Next, a process of transmitting the information of the pending storage after the hit determination (for example, the information indicating the decrease of the pending storage after the execution of the hit determination) to the sub integrated control device 42 (S517).
In the subsequent processing of S518, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B is performed, and the symbol variation start command and the symbol designation command are given to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. It transmits and shifts to "special game processing". The variation start command and the symbol designating command include the variation pattern of the special figure, the determination result of the success/failure determination of the special figure, and the like. In response to the variation start command, the variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special figure is started on the effect symbol display device 210.

If it is not a big hit in the process of S513 (S513: no), it is judged whether or not the judgment result of the process of S511 or S512 is a small hit in the process of S520 (the “judgment judgment in the claims”). Equivalent to "means"). If it is a small hit (S520: yes), a small hit symbol is determined (S521).

In the subsequent variation pattern determination process, a variation pattern for small hits is determined according to the variation pattern determination random number and the current game state (S522).
In the subsequent small hitting setting process, the opening pattern of the special winning opening 25, the time for the opening effect of the small hit game executed on the effect symbol display device 210, the time for the ending effect, etc. are set (S523).

In the process of S520, if it is not a small hit but a loss (S520: no), a variation pattern such as a variation time of the lost symbol of the special figure is determined in the process of S525. Next, a loss setting process is performed (S526).

After the processing in S523 or the processing in S526, the information in the pending storage after the hit/fail judgment is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 in the processing in S517. Further, in the process of S517, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B is performed, and the symbol variation start command and the symbol designation command are given to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. It transmits and shifts to "special game processing".

If the first special figure or the second special figure is not in the stop of fluctuation in the processing of S501 of FIG. 26 (S501: no), as shown in FIG. 28, the fluctuation time of the first special figure or the second special figure is changed. It is determined whether the time has passed (S530). If the variable time has not elapsed (S530: no), the process moves to the "special figure game process". If the variation time has elapsed (S530: yes), the control for ending the variation display of the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B is performed, and the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. A command is transmitted to end the variable display of the effect symbol corresponding to the first special drawing or the second special drawing (S531). According to the command, the effect symbol display device 210 confirms and displays the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol. After that, the processing shifts to "special game processing".

In the process of S502 of FIG. 26, if the fixed symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed (S502: no), as shown in FIG. 29, whether the fixed symbol display time has elapsed or not. Is determined (S540). If the fixed symbol display time has not elapsed (S540: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, if the fixed symbol display time has elapsed (S540: yes), control for ending the fixed symbol display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B is performed, and sub integrated control A command is transmitted to the device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the fixed display of the effect symbol corresponding to the special figure (S541).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the symbol of the special figure is a combination that makes a big hit (S542). When the combination is a big hit (S542: yes), if the probability variation flag is "1" (S543: Yes), and reset the probability variation flag to "0" (S544). Next, if the time saving flag is "1" (S545: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S546). By these processes, the gaming state regarding the probability change and the time saving during the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal gaming state.

Then, the operation of the condition device is started (S547). In addition, the condition device is a big hit to determine whether or not a special figure is a big hit, and operates when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed to establish a start condition for a big hit game. In addition, the condition device is a device necessary for operating the accessory continuous operation device in the big hit game.
Furthermore, while starting the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (S548), the big hit start effect process is performed, and a control command (command) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect pattern control device 43 so as to start the big hit start effect. Yes (S549). After that, the processing shifts to "special game processing".

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S542 (S542: no), as shown in FIG. 30, it is determined in the process of S550 whether or not the symbol of the special figure is a small hit. When the combination is a small hit (S550: yes), "1" is set to the small hit flag (S551). Subsequently, a small hit start effect process is performed (S552). In this process, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to start the small hit start effect.

If the combination is not a small hit in the process of S550 (S550: no), or after the process of S552, it is determined in the process of S553 whether the probability variation flag is "1". If the probability variation flag is "1" (S553: yes), the probability variation counter that counts the duration of the probability variation gaming state is subtracted in the process of S554, and whether the probability variation counter after the subtraction is "0" or not judge. If the probability variation counter is "0" (S554: yes), the probability variation flag is reset to "0" (S555).

Next, in the process of S556, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is "1". If the time saving flag is "1" (S556: yes), the time saving counter that counts the time saving duration is subtracted in the processing of S557, and it is determined whether the time saving counter after the subtraction is "0". .. If the time saving counter is "0" (S557: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S558).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S559, a state designation command including information on the probability variation flag and the time saving flag indicating the game state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. After that, the processing shifts to "special game processing".

In the "special game process" shown in FIG. 31, first, it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is "1" (S600), and if the small hit flag is "1" (S600: yes), the winning character continuous. It is determined whether the operating device is operating (S601). If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S601: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 25 is open (S602). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S600: no), the process returns to the main routine of the main control device 40.

If the special winning opening 25 is not open in the process of S602 (S602: no), it is determined whether it is during the big hit game interval (S603). If it is not during the interval (S603: no), it is determined whether it is during the big hit end effect (S604). If the big hit end effect is not in progress (S604: no), it is determined whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S605). If the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S605: yes), the special winning opening opening process opens the special winning opening 25 of the first round (S606), and the process returns.

If the special winning opening 25 is open in the process of S602 (S602: yes), as shown in FIG. 32, it is determined whether or not there are 10 winning prizes (specified winning number) in the special winning opening 25 (S610). ), or whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 25 has ended (S611), and if any affirmative determination (S610 or S611: yes), the special winning opening 25 is closed (S612), The big hit interval process is executed (S613), and the process returns.

If the big hit interval is in the processing of S603 (S603: yes), as shown in FIG. 33, it is determined whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed (S620). If the big hit interval time has elapsed (S620: yes), it is determined whether or not it is the final round (for example, the fourth round or the 16th round) (S621). If it is the final round (S621: yes), the jackpot end effect processing is executed (S622), and in this processing, the jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the jackpot of the special figure is hit. End the game and return.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S621: no), the special winning opening 25 of the next round is opened and the process returns (S623).

If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S604 (S604: yes), it is determined whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 34 (S630). If the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S630: yes), a process of stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed (S631), and a process of stopping the operation of the condition device is executed (S632).

Subsequently, in the processing of S633, it is determined whether or not the setting is to give a certainty change after the big hit game is finished according to the big hit symbol. If the setting is not the probability change (S633: no), the process proceeds to S636.
If the probability variation is set (S633: yes), the number of repetitions of the probability variation game state (100 times) is set in the process of S634, and the probability variation flag is set to "1" in the process of S635. As a result, a probability variation game state is given after the jackpot game is over.

Next, in the process of S636, it is determined whether or not the setting is to give a time saving after the big hit game is finished according to the big hit symbol. If the time is not set to be short (S636: no), the process proceeds to S639.
If the time saving is set (S636: yes), the number of times the time saving game state is repeated (100 times) is set in the process of S637, and "1" is set in the time saving flag in the process of S638. As a result, a time saving game state is given after the end of the big hit game.
After that, the big hit end command transmission processing (S639) 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 processing, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.
In addition, the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that, regardless of the first special figure and the second special figure, the probability variation game state is set after the big hit game ends.

If the small hit flag is "1" in the process of S600 (S600: yes), the small hit game process is executed in the process of S607. As shown in FIG. 35, in the "small hit game process", first, it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is "1" (S700). If the small hit flag is not "1" (S700: no), the process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main controller 40. If the small hit flag is "1" (S700: yes), it is determined in the processing of S701 whether or not the small hit start effect is being performed.

If the small hit start effect is being produced (S701: yes), it is determined whether or not the small hit start effect time has elapsed in the process of S702. If the small hit start effect time has elapsed (S702: yes), the special winning opening 25 is opened in the opening mode of the small hit game in the special winning opening opening process, and the process returns (S703).

If the small hit start effect is not in progress in the process of S701 (S701: no), it is determined in the process of S704 whether or not the special winning opening 25 is open. If the special winning opening 25 is open (S704: yes), it is determined whether or not there are 10 winnings in the special winning opening 25 (specified winning number) (S705), or the opening time of the special winning opening 25 ends. It is determined whether or not (S706), and if either is affirmative, the special winning opening 25 is closed (S707), and the process returns.

If the special winning opening 25 is not open in the process of S704, as shown in FIG. 36, it is determined whether or not the small hit end time has elapsed in the process of S710. If the small hit end time has not elapsed (S710: no), the process returns.
If the small hitting end time has elapsed (S710: yes), the small hitting flag is reset to "0" in the processing of S711. After that, the processing of the small hit end command transmission (S712) is executed, the small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect design control device 43 in this processing, and the small hit game is ended and the process returns.

Next, the display mode of the pseudo effect display executed by the effect symbol display device 210 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 37(a) is a non-time saving game state in the normal game state (low probability of special map) in the effect mode, or in the production mode of only probability variation game (high probability in special figure). The pseudo production display is shown. In this pseudo effect display example, when the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure is started, the display screen of the effect symbol display device 210 is large at the upper and lower positions, and the first special figure or the second special figure is displayed. The pseudo effect design 700 including three-digit numerical values corresponding to the special figure is variably displayed. In addition, in the upper right portion of the display screen of the effect design display device 210, Tatsukichi 701, a bear of the effect main character, is displayed. Further, on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 210, a first special figure hold display 702 indicating a hold storage of the first special figure is displayed at the lower left part, and a second special figure hold memory is displayed at the lower right part of the display screen. The second special figure reservation display 703 indicating “” is displayed. In the display examples of the first special figure pending display 702 and the second special figure pending display 703, white circles indicate that there is pending storage. The illustrated example shows that there are three reserved memories for the first special figure and two reserved memories for the second special figure.

FIG. 37(b) shows a pseudo effect display in a production mode of a time saving game only state (low probability of special map), or a production mode of a combination of time saving game and probability variation game (high probability of special map). The pseudo production display is shown. In the time saving game state, the variable display of the pseudo effect design 700 is performed in the upper left portion of the display screen. Then, in the center of the display screen, a karate mode effect 704 in which a fighter with a large ally and an opponent are confronted is displayed.

FIG. 37(c) is a normal game state (low probability of special map) in which the second fluctuation table is set to determine the fluctuation pattern of normal map, or a normal variation game state (high probability of special map) 9 shows a pseudo effect display in an effect mode in which a second fluctuation table is set to determine the fluctuation pattern of FIG. In this pseudo effect display example, the Tatsuyoshi chance activation display 705 that indicates that the second fluctuation table has been set is executed on the upper portion of the display screen on which the pseudo effect pattern 700 is variably displayed. Further, in the upper right portion of the display screen of the effect symbol display device 210, Tatsukichi 701, a bear with a big smile, is displayed.

The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is an ordinary gate operating gate 23, and a normal symbol hit/miss determining means for executing the hit/miss determination of the gaming figure due to the entry of the game ball into the operating gate 23 [FIG. 12: S315]. And, depending on whether or not the general figure is correct, the normal pattern variation pattern determining means [FIG. 15] for determining the variation pattern of the universal figure, and the variation pattern determined by the normal symbol variation pattern determining means Fluctuating display, and later fixed display to show the result of the judgment of the normal symbol, and the result of the judgment of the general figure is the winning, the general display 29 is hit and the general display is confirmed and displayed. Then, the universal electric member 26 that operates to open in a predetermined mode, the first special figure starting port 24A that can always enter the ball, and the ordinary electric object 26 that is impossible or difficult to enter when closed The second special figure starting port 24B which can be entered or is easily provided by the opening operation of the electric part 26 and the first special figure due to the entrance into the first special figure starting port 24A On the other hand, the special symbol validity determination means [FIG. 27: S513, S520] for performing the validity determination of the second special figure due to the ball entering the second special figure starting port 24B is provided. If the result of the hit determination of the first special map or the hit determination of the second special map is a big hit, a big hit game is executed, and after the big hit game is finished, it is in a time saving game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state in obtaining a big hit. In a gaming machine that can be transferred, and is configured to be in an advantageous state for the player because a big hit occurs in the hit determination of the second special figure rather than the win determination of the first special figure, a normal symbol The variation pattern determination means includes a first variation table and a second variation table having an average variation time shorter than that of the first variation table as a variation table for determining the variation pattern of the ordinary figure in the non-time saving game state. The normal symbol variation pattern determining means, the variation table for determining the variation pattern of the general figure due to the fact that the special symbol determination means determines the small hit in the determination of the first special symbol, the first variation table To the second variation table.

In addition, the pachinko machine 1 is a game ball that flows down the operation gate 23 toward the out-ball hole 203 arranged at the most downstream part of the game area without winning, out of the game balls launched in the game area. It is a configuration that is arranged at a position where it is easy to enter the ball.

According to this embodiment, in the non-time saving game state (including the normal game state and the probability variation game state), if the small hit is won in the winning/absence determination of the first special figure, the average fluctuation time of the general figure is shortened, and thus The number of times of opening the electric utility product 26 per unit time increases. Therefore, even in the non-time saving game state, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of winnings in the universal figure. As a result, a new game property can be configured in which the number of balls entering the second special figure starting port 24B increases without changing the state of the special figure, and the chances of determining whether or not the second special figure is valid can be increased. it can. Therefore, the interest of the game is rich, and the player's motivation for the game can be increased without the game becoming monotonous.
Further, the big hit of the second special map is more advantageous than the first special map for the player because it is possible to obtain more prize balls in the big hit game and the probability of shifting to the probability variation game state after the big hit game is high. Therefore, if the small hit is drawn in the first special figure, the chance of the big hit in the second special figure is increased, which is in a substantially advantageous state.

Further, since the game ball flowing down toward the out ball opening 203 is arranged at the position where the game gate 23 can easily enter the ball, it is possible to expect many balls to enter the operation gate 23. On top of that, the chances of hit/disapproval judgment of the general map can be increased by the occurrence of the small hit of the first special map, and thus the chances of judgment of the success/failure of the second special map can be increased, thereby enriching the interest of the game. be able to.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the embodiment, when the second fluctuation table is set as the table for determining the fluctuation pattern of the universal figure in the non-time saving game state, the switching condition of the second fluctuation table (second fluctuation table end condition) As a general rule, it is a condition of winning a general figure, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as the switching condition B of the second fluctuation table, as shown in FIG. 38(a), it is set that the number of hit/miss judgments of the universal figure reaches 100 times, and thereby the setting is made to shift to the first fluctuation table. You may. In this way, since the degree of advantage greatly changes depending on how many times the universal figure can be won within a limited number of times, the determination of whether the universal figure is valid or not is more important than the determination of the first special figure. Can be high period. Even in the production, it is conceivable that the determination of success/failure of the universal figure will be performed more beautifully.
In addition to this, the following conditions can be considered as the switching condition of the second fluctuation table.
For example, as shown in FIG. 38(b), the switching condition C of the second variation table is set so that the success/failure determinations of the first special diagram and the second special diagram reach 100 times. You may set so that it may shift to a table. In this way, once the switching is made to the second variation table, the state continues until the success/failure determination of the special figure is performed a predetermined number of times, so that a substantially advantageous state can be provided for a long period of time.
As shown in FIG. 38(c), as a switching condition D of the second fluctuation table, a big hit occurs and the big hit game is terminated, so that the first fluctuation table is set. May be. In this way, the advantageous second variation table is maintained until a big hit, so that the configuration can be made particularly advantageous.
As shown in FIG. 38(d), as the switching condition E of the second fluctuation table, the condition that the time saving game state has started is provided, and during the time saving game state, the time shortening fluctuation table is entered and the time saving game state ends. You may set so that it may transfer to a 1st fluctuation table. By doing this, since the time saving game state occurs through the big hit, the same effect as the switching condition D can be obtained.
As shown in FIG. 39(a), as the switching condition F of the second variation table, it is possible to set that the probability variation gaming state has ended, and thereby to shift to the first variation table. In this way, the second variation table can be continued even if the big hit is repeated a plurality of times, and a very long-term advantageous state can be created until the probability variation game state ends.
As shown in FIG. 39(b), as the switching condition G of the second fluctuation table, a lottery is performed at a predetermined timing, and the winning condition is not set, and accordingly, the switching to the first fluctuation table is set. Good. For example, it is desirable to carry out the lottery at the time of judging whether or not a general figure is valid. The probability of winning (1/99.90244) is the same as the probability of winning a special map or a universal figure. As a result, it is conceivable that the special map, the general map, and the second variation table are switched with the same probability, and it may be interesting to select which one to allocate.
As shown in FIG. 39(c), as a switching condition H of the second fluctuation table, a condition that a small hit occurs and the small hit game ends is set, and thereby the first change table is moved. You may set it. By doing so, the small hit becomes the cause of the start and the end of the second variation table, and the winning timing of the small hit can be made interesting.
Also, a plurality of switching conditions may be combined.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the opening/closing door type accessory is used as the universal electric accessory as the universal electric accessory 26, but the present invention is not limited to this, and an electric tulip type accessory is used even when the ordinary electric accessory is not operating. Although it is difficult, it is possible to adopt a configuration that allows the ball to enter the second special figure starting port.
Further, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, the enclosed game balls are launched toward a game area of a game board, and the launched game balls are collected and collected. May be applied to an enclosed type pachinko machine in which a predetermined number of game balls inside are cyclically used to play a game.
