The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is executed periodically by a hard interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as "main process", and the process of S70 which is repeatedly executed within the time left after executing this main process as long as time permits. Residual processing". The "main processing" is periodically executed by the interrupt.

When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination processing is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is the predetermined value. When the processing executed by the microcomputer shifts to this processing, normal processing is executed. It is for judging whether or not the setting is acceptable. When the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, a microcomputer runaway or the like may occur when the power is turned on or due to noise or the like. However, it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the microcomputer due to the improvement of the technology in recent years, and thus it is usually when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

When it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial setting (eg, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, initializing a special symbol and a normal symbol to each work area of the memory, etc.) The value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the residual process (S70).

When an affirmative decision is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number updating process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the value of the initial value random number by +1 each time this process is executed. The value of the initial value random number before executing this process is incremented by 1, but the random number value before executing this process is the maximum. When the value is "3966", the initial value "0" is returned in the next process, and 3967 integers from "0" to "3966" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

The big hit determination random number update process (S25) subsequent to S20 is an increment process that increments by 1 each time the process is executed similarly to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3966", the next process starts. The value is returned to “0” which is the value of, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly created in ascending order. The initial value of the big hit determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random numbers are updated to "250" "251" "252"... "3966" "0" "1"....

When the big hit determination random number makes one round (updated 3967 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is set as the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. When the big hit determination random number makes one cycle again, the operation of setting the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the big hit determination random number is performed. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number is "249", there is one round, so the value of the initial value random number is after "249". If the value of the initial value random number is "87", then it changes to "249", "87", "88"... "3966", "0", "1"... "86", and then "86". The next is a new value of the initial value random number. The number of values determined to be a big hit in the normal probability state (also referred to as a low probability state) is 10, and the values are “775” to “777” “1775” to “1777” “2774” to “2777”. Yes, the number of values determined to be a big hit in the high probability state is 100, and the values are “758” to “777” “1314” to “1333” “1758” to “1777” “2758” to “2777” “3314”. To "3333".
The big hit symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from "0" to "99", and is incremented by 1 for each process and the initial value "0" is exceeded. Return to.

The random number determining random number updating process (S35) subsequent to S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from "0" to "996". Return to a certain "0". The winning values are 31 to 40 in the normal probability state (also called the low probability state) and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. In addition, this hit determination random number update process is usually used for lottery of symbols, other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach judgment random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are special symbol lottery To use.

The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers from "0" to "228", and is incremented by 1 in each process and the initial value "0" is exceeded. Return to. Note that the number of values that reach when the variable time reduction function is not activated in the normal probability state is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”, and reach when the variable time reduction function is activated in the normal probability state. The number of values is 5, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values that reach the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

The fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from "0" to "1020", and is incremented by 1 for each main process and becomes the initial value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to 0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), the confirmation of winning of the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 and the input process of each switch connected to the main controller 80 provided in the pachinko machine 50 are executed.
In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determining random number, a big hit symbol determining random number, a variation pattern determining random number, and a reach determining random number are acquired. However, the number that can be held and stored is limited to 4 in each of the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12, and when the holding storage is full, the game ball is the first starting opening 11 or the first starting opening 11. Even if a prize is placed in the 2 start port 12, only the prize balls are paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored in a reserved manner.

Subsequently, a win/loss determination process (S55) as a condition satisfaction determining means for determining whether or not it is a big hit is performed. When this hit/miss determination process (S55) ends, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), the main controller 80 responds to the progress of the game with respect to the effect symbol controller 82, the payout controller 81, the launch controller 84, the sub integrated controller 83, the special winning opening solenoid 14b, etc. Output processing is executed for each. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation processing (S50) that there is a prize for the game ball at each prize hole on the game board 1, the prize ball data is output to the payout control device 81 in order to pay out the game ball as the prize ball. The process to output the sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 83, when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine 50, an error signal is output to the effect design control device 82 to notify that there is an error. Each of the processing is performed.

In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65), it is monitored whether or not the regular winning openings (first left winning opening 31, second left winning opening 32, third left winning opening 33, fourth left winning opening 34) have been fraudulently performed. It is a process to judge whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is more than a predetermined number, and if there is more, it is determined to be fraudulent and informs that fact. It is a process to do. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

The above-mentioned residual processing following this processing is composed of the initial value random number updating processing (S70), which is exactly the same processing as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed until time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the above-described processing of S10 to S65 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the big hit processing is executed and the display mode of the special symbol. As a result, the number of times the residual process is executed differs for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is executed once. As a result, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determining random number becomes extremely small. If the values of the initial value random numbers (3967 kinds of 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number makes one round occur at the same level, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. Also, the hit determination random number updating process (S35) described above may be executed in the residual process.

The winning confirmation processing in S50 is as shown in FIG. 6, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting opening 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting opening switch 11a. A judgment is made (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), 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. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined (S105).

If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), the above random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory, and the number of lights of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), to S115. And transition. In S110, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a hold quantity command indicating the hold quantity stored in the first hold memory. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the first hold memory.

If there are already four first reserved memories (S105: yes), the reserved memories are not stored, and the process proceeds to S115 without increasing the number of lights of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18.

When it is determined that the game ball has not entered the first starting opening 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S115, where the game ball is inserted into the second starting opening 12 based on the detection signal of the second starting opening switch 12a. Judge whether or not has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S115: yes), 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. are read from the respective counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined whether the number is four (S120).

If the second reserved memory is not full (S120: no), the above random numbers are stored as the second reserved memory, and the number of lights of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S125). In S125, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the second hold storage. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the second hold memory.

Then, it transfers to S130. In the look-ahead determination process of S130, it is determined whether or not the random number for win/loss determination stored in the reserved storage of the second special symbol corresponds to the big hit, and whether it corresponds to the small hit when the small hit game occurs. ing. In addition, when it is determined that the jackpot is supported, the main controller 80 sends a pre-reading determination command indicating the jackpot determination to the sub integrated controller 83. Further, when it is determined that the small hit is supported, the pre-reading determination command indicating the small hit determination is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. When it is determined that the game does not correspond to the big hit and does not correspond to the small hit, the pre-reading determination command indicating the loss determination is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. The pre-reading determination command may be combined with the above-mentioned reserved number command and transmitted as one command. It is preferable that the transmission timings are the same and the effect is high when the effect is carried out with the holding symbols because the relevance is high.

If there are already four second hold storages (S120: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present processing ends (return) without increasing the number of lights of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Also, when the game ball has not entered the second starting opening 12 (S115: no), this processing is also terminated.

In the hit/miss determination processing shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric auditors product is operating based on the jackpot flag (S150). If the determination of S150 is negative, the special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S160: no), the second hold memory (the hold memory by S125 of FIG. 6) is It is determined whether there is any (S165).

If there is this reserved memory (S165: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S170), and the process proceeds to S185. If there is no second hold storage (S165: no), it is determined whether there is a first hold storage (above-mentioned hold storage by S110) (S175). If there is the first reserved memory (S175: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S180), and the process proceeds to S185. If there is no first reserved memory (S175: no), the special game processing is directly performed.

In step S185, the second hold memory (however, if the second hold exists, the second hold is prioritized even if the first hold is older) is read (that hold memory is erased), the probability change flag is set. It is determined whether or not (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag is 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in the high-probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S185: yes), the read big hit determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S190), and the process proceeds to S200 of FIG. Here, the number of winning values is 100, which are 758 to 777, 1314 to 1333, 1758 to 1777, 2758 to 2777, and 3314 to 3333. In other words, the winning probability is 1/39.67. If the determination is negative (S185: no), the read big hit determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S195), and the process proceeds to S200 of FIG. Here, the number of winning values is 10, which is 775 to 777, 1775 to 1777, and 2774 to 2777. That is, the winning probability is 1/396.7. In the present embodiment, the jackpot probability is represented by these approximate numbers (1/400 in normal time (also called low probability state) and 1/40 in high probability state (also called probability variation)). The ratio of high probability after a big hit is set to 70%.

In S200 of FIG. 8, the main control device 80 determines whether or not it is a big hit based on the determination of S190 or S195, and if it is an affirmative determination (S200: yes), it determines the winning symbol by a big hit symbol determining random number. (S205). After that, the process proceeds to the fluctuation pattern determination process (S210). In the fluctuation pattern determination process, the big hit fluctuation pattern is determined by a random number for fluctuation pattern determination. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S215). The jackpot setting process is determined by the jackpot design, the gaming state after the jackpot (whether there is a certainty change or opening extension etc.) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of jackpot, opening pattern, ending time of jackpot, number of rounds, etc.), Particularly, in this embodiment, it is a process of acquiring information such as whether the first small hit game is executed during the open extension state or the second small hit game is executed during the open extension state.
In the present embodiment, if the value of the random number for determining big hit symbol of the first special symbol is "1-18", if the big hit game is executed based on the big hit symbol determined in the case of "28-45", FIG. In S638, the second small hit game flag is set to 1, and after the big hit game is finished, the game is transferred to the open extension state (see FIG. 19). Moreover, if the big hit game is executed based on the big hit symbol determined when the value of the random number for determining big hit symbol of the second special symbol is "19 to 27", in S638 of FIG. 15, the second small hit game. The flag is set to 1, and after the jackpot game is over, the game moves to the open extension state (see FIG. 20).
Here, with the second small hit game flag, when the small hit symbol is definitely displayed in the second special symbol during the opening extension state, the start interval (1.5 seconds) and the end interval (1.5 seconds) It means that the second small hit game set to is executed.

On the other hand, if the big hit game is executed based on the big hit symbol determined when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number of the first special symbol is “19 to 27”, in S637 of FIG. 15, the first small hit game. The flag is set to 1, and after the jackpot game is over, the game moves to the open extension state (see FIG. 19). If the value of the big hit symbol determination random number of the second special symbol is "1-18", if the big hit game is executed based on the big hit symbol determined in the case of "28-45", in S637 of FIG. The 1 small hit game flag is set to 1, and after the big hit game is over, the game moves to the open extension state (see FIG. 20). Here, with the first small hit game flag, when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol during the opening extension state, the start interval (0.5 seconds) and the end interval (0.5 seconds) It means that the first small hit game set to is executed.

When it is determined in S200 that it is out (S200: no), the process proceeds to S220, and it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (S220). This compares the extracted big hit determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If the determination is affirmative (S220: yes), the small hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determination random number (S225). The small winning probability of the second special symbol is 1/14 as shown in FIG. After that, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S230), and it is determined whether or not the first small hitting game flag is set to 1 (S235).
In addition, in this embodiment, since the small hit probability is provided only for the second special symbol, the non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated) is based on the winning probability of the ordinary symbol and the opening time of the ordinary electric auditor (Fig. (Refer to 18) Since the game ball hardly enters the second starting opening 12, the small hit game hardly occurs.
On the other hand, when the game shifts to the open extension state after the jackpot game ends, unlike the above-mentioned non-open extension state, the winning probability of the ordinary symbol, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors (see FIG. 18) to the second starting opening 12 Since it becomes possible for game balls to enter, winning with the second special symbol is the main, and the frequency of small hit games is also increasing.
When the first small hit game flag is set to 1 (S235: yes), the first small hit setting process (S240) is performed, and the flow joins to S270. When the first small hit game flag is not set to 1 (S235: no), it is determined whether the second small hit game flag is set to 1 (S241). When the 2nd small hit game flag is set to 1 (S241: yes), the 2nd small hit setting processing (S245) is done, it joins to S270. When the second small hit game flag is not set to 1 (S241: no), the third small hit setting process (S246) is performed, and the process merges with S270.

The first small hitting setting process of S240 is information on the first small hitting game (starting interval of the first small hitting game is 0.5 seconds, opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 is opened twice at a maximum of 0.9 seconds). ,
It is a process of acquiring the end interval of the first small hit game 0.5 seconds) and subtracting the number of time saving or the number of probability changes.
In addition, the second small hitting setting processing of S245 is the information concerning the second small hitting game (starting interval of the second small hitting game is 1.5 seconds, the opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 is 0.9 seconds at maximum). This is a process of obtaining the number of times saved and the second small hit game ending interval of 1.5 seconds), and subtracting the number of time saving or the number of probability changes.
Further, the third small hit setting process of S246, the information on the small hit game executed in the normal game state (low probability state and the open extension function is not activated) or probability change state only (small hit game Processing of obtaining the start interval of 0.8 seconds, the opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.9 seconds, and the end interval of the small hit game of 0.8 seconds), and subtracting the number of shortening times or the number of certainty changes Is.

In S220, when it is determined that it is not a small hit (S220: no), the lost symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S250). The variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S250), the loss setting process (S255) is performed, and the process merges with S270. In the loss setting process of S255, a process of subtracting the number of time reductions and the number of probability changes is performed.

The opening time of the special winning opening 14 of all the small hit games of this embodiment is 1.8 seconds because the maximum winning opening 14 of maximum 0.9 seconds is opened twice. Further, the probability variation function, the time shortening function, and the opening extension function do not change during the opening of the special winning opening 14. The same applies after the end of the small hit game.
The start interval (1.5 seconds) of the second small hit game is the start interval (0.5 second) of the first small hit game and the start interval (0 of the small hit game executed in a game state other than the extended extension state). Longer than .8 seconds) is set. Also, the end interval of the second small hit game (1.5 seconds) is the end interval of the first small hit game (0.5 seconds) and the normal game state (when the low probability state and the opening extension function are not activated). Or, a time longer than the end interval (0.8 seconds) of the small hit game executed only in the case of the probability change state is set.
On the other hand, the start interval of the first small hit game (0.5 seconds) is the start interval of the second small hit game (1.5 seconds) and the start interval of the small hit game executed in a game state other than the extended extension state. A time shorter than (0.8 seconds) is set. Further, the end interval of the first small hit game (0.5 seconds) is the end interval of the second small hit game (1.5 seconds) and the end interval of the small hit game executed in a game state other than the open extension state. A time shorter than (0.8 seconds) is set.

Subsequent to S215, S240, S245, S246 or S255, data showing the above-mentioned lottery results, specifically, normal big hit, probability variation big hit, small hit or not, kind of small hit (first small hit game, second Small hit game or small hit game executed in a game state other than the extended extension state), reach out (reach but reach display), data indicating any out of reach display and fluctuation to specify the fluctuation time A variation start command (display control command) including pattern data is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S270), and the special game process is performed. Note that the sub integrated control device 83 determines the effect to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 from among a plurality of kinds of effects, based on the received variation start command. Thereafter, the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbol, but at the same time, the variation of the special symbol is also started by the main controller 80. The effect symbol display device 6 executes effect display based on the variation pattern, and displays various notices and reach effects of whether the player is hit or missed. The player can grasp the degree of expectation for the hit by looking at the notice and the reach effect.

When it is determined that the special symbol is fluctuating in S155 of FIG. 7 (S155: yes), the process proceeds to S300 of FIG. 9, and the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern of S210, S230, or S250) has elapsed. Determine whether or not. In the case of a negative determination (S300: no), the process directly proceeds to the special game process. In the case of a positive determination (S300: yes), the fixed symbol display process (S305) is performed and then the special game process is performed. In the fixed symbol display process, a command to display the fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub integrated control device 83, and the command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let

When it is determined in S160 of FIG. 7 that the definite symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S350 of FIG. 10, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the definite symbol has ended. In the case of negative determination (S350: no), special game processing is performed. In the case of an affirmative determination (S350: yes), the display of the fixed symbol is ended (S355), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been fixedly displayed is a jackpot (S360). When a positive determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process directly proceeds to S375. In S375, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1. If the time saving flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S381. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process directly proceeds to S385.

In S385, whether or not the main controller 80 is currently changing the game state, whether the current game state is the open extension state, whether the first small hit game is executed, the second A state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not a small hit game is executed is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 after the special symbol determination time (600 ms), and the process proceeds to S386.

The small hit game flag process (S386) will be described with reference to FIG. First, main controller 80 determines whether or not the time saving flag is 0 (S450). In the case of a negative determination (S450:no), the process ends as it is. If the time saving flag is 0 (S450: yes), it is determined whether the first small hitting game flag is set to 1 (S455). In the case of a positive determination (S455: yes), the first small hit game flag is set to 0 (S460), and the process is returned as it is. Further, when the first small hit game flag is 0 (S455: no), it is determined whether the second small hit game flag is set to 1 (S465). When a negative determination is made (S465: no), the process directly returns. When the second small hit game flag is set to 1 (S465: yes), the second small hit game flag is set to 0, and the process is returned as it is.

Return to FIG. After performing the small hit game flag process (S386), the process proceeds to S390. In S390, the jackpot flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. In subsequent S395, the accessory continuous actuating device is operated, and the big hit game start process (S400) is performed. In the big hit game start processing, a command to start the big hit game and information related to the big hit game (opening time of big hit, opening pattern, ending time of big hit, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit game start process ends, a special game process is performed.

In S360, when it is determined that the finalized and displayed special symbol is not a big hit display (S360: no), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S405: yes), the number of probability variation. It is determined whether is 0 (S410). If the number of probability changes is 0 (S410: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S415, and the process proceeds to S420. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S405: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S410: no), the process directly proceeds to S420.
In S420, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S420: yes), it is determined whether the number of times saving is 0 (S425). If the number of time saving is 0 (S425: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S430, and the process proceeds to S431. When the hour/hour flag is not 1 (S420:no) or when the hour/hour count is not 0 (S425:no), the process directly proceeds to S435.

In S435, if the main control device 80 is in a certain change in the current game state, whether it is in the opening extension state, if it is determined that a small hit in the opening extension state, the first small hit game, Whether or not the second small hit game is executed is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 after the special symbol determination time (600 ms) to indicate the state such as whether or not the second small hit game is executed, and the special game process is executed.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing of transmitting the state designating command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the win/fail judgment process is after the special symbol fixing time, but at the time of starting the special symbol fluctuation and restoring the power source. Also in the above, the configuration may be such that the state designation command is transmitted.

Then, in S440, the main control device 80 performs a small hit game start determination process (S440). The small hit game start determination processing (S440) will be described with reference to FIG.
First, it is determined whether or not the confirmed and displayed symbols are a combination of small hits (S441). If the combination does not result in a small hit (S441:no), the process is returned as it is. If the combination is a small hit (S441: yes), the operation of the special electric auditors product is started (S442), and the small hit game start process (S443) is performed. In this embodiment, depending on whether the small hit game flag is not set, the first small hit game flag is set, or the second small hit game flag is set, the small hit game is selected. The set start interval and end interval are different (see FIG. 21).
In the small hit game start processing (S443), a command for starting the small hit game and information relating to the small hit game (opening time of the small hit, opening pattern, ending time of the small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. .. When the small hit game start process ends, the game returns.

Returning to FIG. After performing the process of S440, the small hit game flag process is performed (S445). The small hit game flag process will be described with reference to FIG. First, in S450, main controller 80 determines whether or not the time saving flag is 0 (S450). When a negative determination is made (S450:no), the process directly returns. If the time saving flag is 0 (S450: yes), it is determined whether the first small hit game flag is set to 1 (S455). In the case of a positive determination (S455: yes), the first small hit game flag is set to 0 and the process is returned as it is. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S455: no), it is determined whether or not the second small hit game flag is set to 1 (S465). When a negative determination is made (S465: no), the process directly returns. Further, in the case of a positive determination (S465: yes), the second small hit game flag is set to 0 and the process is returned as it is. Although returning to FIG. 10, after the processing of S445, the special game processing is started.

In the special game process shown in FIG. 13, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S500). When the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S500: no), the small hit game process is performed. If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S505). When the special winning opening 14 is not open (S505: no), it is determined whether the special winning opening 14 is closed due to the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being produced (S515). If this is also a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has elapsed (S520). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S520: yes), a special winning opening opening process (S525) is performed and the present process is terminated. In addition, when the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has not elapsed (S520: no), the special game process is ended as it is.

When it is determined in S505 that the special winning opening 14 is open, the process proceeds to S550 of FIG. 14 and it is determined whether or not 10 winnings have been won in the special winning opening 14. It should be noted that although the number is 10 in this embodiment, the number may be 9 or 8 and is not particularly limited. When 10 prizes are won in the special winning opening 14 (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560, and the special winning opening closing process is performed. And big hit interval processing (S565) is done, special game processing ends. When 10 prizes have not been won in the special winning opening 14 (S550: no), the process proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, in the case of a big hit in 16 rounds, 12 rounds and 4 rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. If the opening time has ended (S555: yes), it joins S560, and if it has not ended (S555: no), the special game processing ends.

When it is determined in S510 in FIG. 13 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 in FIG. 14 and it is determined whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has elapsed (S570: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 was opened immediately before in the final round (S575). If it is the final round (S575: yes), the big hit end effect process (S580) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), the process of opening the special winning opening 14 again (S585) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game process is ended as it is. In addition, in the process of opening and closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round on the basis of the signal, and makes an effect according to the round.

When it is determined in S515 of FIG. 13 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S515: yes), the process proceeds to S600 of FIG. 15 and it is determined whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When a negative determination is made (S600: no), the process directly returns. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S600: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S605), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S610). Then, it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in S215 of FIG. 8 is to be changed to a probability variation (S615). In the case of shifting to probability variation (S615: yes), the number of probability variation is set (S620), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S621), and the process proceeds to S625. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When it does not shift to the probability variation (S615: no), the process directly shifts to S625. In addition, the number of probability changes is set to 10000 times, which substantially guarantees that the probability change continues until the next big hit.

In S625, it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in S215 of FIG. When shifting to time saving (S625: yes), the number of time saving is set (S630), the time saving flag is set to 1 (S635), and the process proceeds to S636. In S636, according to the table displayed in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to set the first small hit game flag by the symbol shown in FIG. 19(b) or FIG. 20(b). A determination is made (S636).
When the second small hit game is executed when it is determined to be a small hit during the time saving (S636: no), the second small hit game flag is set to 1 (S638), and the process proceeds to S640. When the first small hit game flag is set (S636: yes), the first small hit game flag is set to 1 (S637), and the process proceeds to S640.

In S640, the main control device 80 transmits a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83, transmits a state designation command to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and ends the special game processing.
The number of times saved in S630 is set to 100 times in the big hit of the present embodiment, and the number of times the special symbol fluctuates is guaranteed to continue up to 100 times. When the time saving flag is set to 1, in the present embodiment, the average variation time reduction of the special symbol, the average variation time reduction of the ordinary symbol, and the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory 12 are set. If the time is not shortened (S625: no), the process goes straight to S640.

Next, in S500 of FIG. 13, the small hitting game process that shifts when it is determined that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no) will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17.
First, in S650, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation (S650). When a negative determination is made (S650: no), this processing is ended as it is. If the special electric accessory is operating (S650: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S655). If the special winning opening 14 is not open (S655: no), it is determined whether the special winning opening 14 is closed due to the interval (S660). If it is not during the interval (S660: no), it is determined whether the small hit end production is being performed (S665). If this is also a negative determination (S665: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the effect of starting the small hitting game has elapsed (S670). When the small and big hit start presentation time has elapsed (S670: yes), a special winning opening opening process (S675) is performed and this process is ended. If the time required for the effect of starting the small hit game has not elapsed (S670: no), the process ends (return) as it is.

When it is determined in S655 that the special winning opening 14 is open (S655: yes), the process proceeds to S700 of FIG. 17, and it is determined whether or not 10 winnings have been won in the special winning opening 14. It should be noted that although the number is 10 in this embodiment, the number may be 9 or 8 and is not particularly limited. When 10 prizes are won in the special winning opening 14 (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S710, and the special winning opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S715) is performed, and the process ends. When 10 prizes have not been won in the special winning opening 14 (S700: no), the process proceeds to S705, and it is determined whether the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, the maximum opening time for each opening is set to 0.9 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time has ended (S705: yes), it merges with S710, and when it has not ended (S705: no), it ends.

When it is determined in S660 of FIG. 16 that the interval is in progress (S660: yes), the process proceeds to S720 of FIG. 17 and it is determined whether or not the small hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has elapsed (S720: yes), it is determined whether the specified number has been opened or 10 game balls have been won (S725). In the case of a positive determination (S725: yes), the small hit end effect processing (S730) is performed, and the process ends. In the case of a negative determination (S725: no), the process of opening the special winning opening 14 again (S735) is performed, and the process ends. If it is determined that the small hit interval time has not elapsed (S720: no), the process ends. In addition, in the process of opening and closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 produces an effect according to the signal.

When it is determined in S665 of FIG. 16 that the small hitting end effect is being performed (S665: yes), the process proceeds to S740 of FIG. 17, and it is determined whether the small hitting end effect time has elapsed. In the case of a negative determination (S740:no), the process directly returns. When the small hit end effect time has elapsed (S740: yes), the operation of the special electric auditors product is stopped (S745), the small hit interval process (S747) is performed, and the process returns.

FIG. 18 shows a table showing basic specifications of the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 18, the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is set to have a big hit probability of 1/400 in the normal probability state and a hit probability of 1/40 in the high probability game state. Further, the small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to 1/14. The probability of plunging into the probability change state after the jackpot game is set to 70%. The number of prize balls by entering the first starting opening 11 is three. In addition, the number of prize balls by entering the second starting opening 12 is one. Further, the number of prize balls to the other winning holes is 10, and the number of prize balls to the major winning hole 14 is 15. The number of specified prizes to the special winning opening 14 is 10. The normal symbol winning probability is 1/300 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the open extension function is not activated), and is 1/1.0101 in the open extension state. The opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is 0.2 seconds once when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state and 1.5 seconds twice when the pachinko machine 50 is in the time saving state. In addition, in the present embodiment, the small hit probability is set only for the second special symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the small hit probability is also set for the first special symbol. Good. In this case, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is lower than the small hit probability of the second special symbol.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, since the small hit probability is set only for the second special symbol, the small hit game is executed by determining the small hit only by the second special symbol. .. Non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated) is the winning probability of normal symbols (1/300), the opening time of ordinary electric auditors (0.2 seconds x 1 time) to almost the second starting opening 12 Since the ball never enters, the small hit game rarely occurs.
On the other hand, if the game shifts to the extended extension state after the jackpot game is over, the winning probability of the ordinary symbol (1/1.0101), the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors (1.5 seconds x 2 times), and the second starting opening 12 Since it becomes possible for game balls to enter, winning with the second special symbol is the main, and the frequency of small hit games is also increasing.

Here, the relationship between the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the special symbol and the display symbol of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20.

First, FIG. 19(a) shows the relationship between the big hit symbol determination random number and the display symbol of the first special symbol. When the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination is 1 to 27, the symbols obtained by partially changing each of the 9 types of symbols are set. For example, when the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 1 to 3, the lower right vertical bar segment is removed from the symbol used as "1" in the 7-segment display device, and a decimal point is added. The design is set. When the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination is 16 to 18, a symbol excluding the horizontal bar below the lower mouth portion is set from the symbol used as "6" in the 7-segment display device.
In addition, when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number is 28 to 54, the symbols obtained by partially changing each of the 9 types of symbols different from the symbols are set. For example, when the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol is 28 to 30, the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device is excluded from the vertical bar segment on the upper right, and a symbol with a decimal point is added. Is set. In addition, the special symbol which is set when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number is 52 to 54, the symbol used as "9" in the 7-segment display device, except for the vertical bar segment on the upper left, is a symbol with a decimal point added. Is set.

There are the jackpot pattern and the lost pattern (not shown) shown in FIG. 19(a).

FIG. 19(b) is executed during the name of the stop symbol displayed by the first special symbol, the name of the big hit, the contents of the big hit game, the game state after the big hit ends, and the open extension state after the big hit game ends. This shows the type of small hit game.
For example, the big hit game A of the big hit name is a 12 round big hit when the symbols 1 to 6 are displayed, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all opening, and the gaming state after the big hit changes with certainty. It will be in the state and the extended extension state. In addition, this probability change state continues until the next time, and the extended extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. Incidentally, during the extended extension state that has transitioned to the end of the big hit game A, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the second small hit game.

Next, the jackpot game B of the name of jackpot is a 4 round jackpot when symbols 7 to 9 are displayed, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all opening, and the gaming state after the jackpot is Probably changed state and extended open state. In addition, this probability change state continues until the next time, and the extended extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. In addition, during the open extension state that has transitioned to the end of the big hit game B, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the first small hit game.

When the symbols 10 to 15 are displayed, the jackpot game C of the jackpot name is a four-round jackpot, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all openings, and the game state after the jackpot game is over, Only open and extended. In addition, this open extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. In addition, during the opening extension state that has transitioned after the end of the big hit game C, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the second small hit game.

Finally, the jackpot game D of the name of the jackpot is a four-round jackpot when the symbols 16 to 18 are displayed, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all openings, and the gaming state after the jackpot is It remains in the normal gaming state.

Next, FIG. 20(a) shows the relationship between the jackpot symbol determination random number of the second special symbol and the display symbol. When the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination is 1 to 27, the symbols obtained by partially changing each of the 9 types of symbols are set. For example, when the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the second special symbol is 1 to 3, the symbol used as "1" in the 7-segment display device is excluded from the vertical bar segment and the symbol is set. It When the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination is 19 to 21, the symbol excluding the horizontal bar at the lower right is set from the symbol used as "7" in the 7-segment display device.
In addition, when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number is 28 to 54, the symbols obtained by partially changing each of the 9 types of symbols different from the symbols are set. For example, when the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the second special symbol is 28 to 30, the symbol excluding the vertical bar segment from the symbol used as "1" in the 7-segment display device is set. .. In addition, the special symbol which is set when the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 52 to 54, the symbol which is used as "9" in the 7-segment display device except the segment of the upper left vertical bar is set. ..

In addition to the big hit symbols shown in FIG. 20A, there are small hit symbols (not shown) and lost symbols (not shown).

FIG. 20(b) is executed during the name of the stop symbol displayed by the second special symbol, the name of the big hit, the contents of the big hit game, the game state after the big hit ends, and the open extension state after the big hit game ends. This shows the type of small hit game.
For example, the jackpot game E of the name of the jackpot is a 16-round jackpot when the symbols 19 to 24 are displayed, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in every opening, and the gaming state after the jackpot is changed. It will be in the state and the extended extension state. In addition, this probability change state continues until the next time, and the extended extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. In addition, during the extended extension state that has transitioned to the end of the big hit game E, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the first small hit game.

Next, when the symbols 25 to 27 are displayed, the jackpot game A of the name of the jackpot is a 12 round jackpot, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in every opening, and the gaming state after the jackpot is Probably changed state and extended open state. In addition, this probability change state continues until the next time, and the extended extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. Incidentally, during the extended extension state that has transitioned to the end of the big hit game A, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the second small hit game.

When the symbols 28 to 33 are displayed, the jackpot game B of the jackpot name is a four-round jackpot, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all openings, and the gaming state after the jackpot game is finished is: Only probable variation state and open extension state. In addition, this open extension state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. Note that during the extended extension state that has transitioned after the end of the big hit game B, the small hit game that is determined to be a small hit and is executed is set to the first small hit game.

Finally, the jackpot game D of the name of the jackpot is a four-round jackpot when the symbols 34 to 36 are displayed, the jackpot 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all openings, and the gaming state after the jackpot is It remains in the normal gaming state and the non-open extension state.

In the jackpot game of the present embodiment, the special winning opening 14 is opened for 28 seconds at maximum, and four rounds, 12 rounds and 16 rounds are carried out as one round. Four rounds of jackpot games have four rounds that are expected to receive the specified number of prizes, 12 rounds of jackpot games have 12 rounds that are expected to have the specified number of prizes, and 16 rounds of jackpot games. 16 rounds are expected in which a prescribed number of prizes will be entered.
Therefore, in the 4-round big hit game, 40 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball into the special winning opening 14 is 15 balls. , 40×15 600 prize balls can be won. In the 12-round jackpot game, 120 game balls can be entered, and since one game ball enters the special winning opening 14, the number of prize balls obtained is 15, so 120 You can get 1800 x15 prize balls.
In the 16-round big hit game, 160 game balls can be entered, and since one game ball enters the special winning opening 14, the number of prize balls obtained is 15, so 160 2400 prize balls of ×150 can be acquired.

On the other hand, the small hit game of the present embodiment (the small hit game executed in a game state other than the extended extension state, the first small hit game and the second small hit game) opens the special winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.9 seconds. It will be performed twice. Therefore, in the small hit game, if 10 game balls can be entered by opening operation for a maximum of 0.9 seconds, one game ball will be awarded by entering the special winning opening 14. Since the number of balls is 15, it is possible to obtain 150 prize balls of 10×15. Therefore, more prize balls can be obtained in the above-mentioned big hit game than in the small hit game.

Next, the difference in the occurrence rate of the small hit game per time in the open extension state will be described with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 21(a) describes the case where the first small hit game is executed, and FIG. 21(b) describes the case where the second small hit game is executed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 21(a) and 21(b), since the game balls are detected at the same timing by the second special symbol switch 12a, the game balls are brought to the second starting opening 12. The conditions for entering the ball are the same. Further, the pachinko machine 50 during the extension extension of the present embodiment, the variation time of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol), small hit probability, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors, large in the small hit game The opening time of the winning opening 14 is constant.

First, a case where it is determined that a small hit has occurred during the open extension state and the first small hit game is executed will be described with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG.
First, it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination, and after the big hit game executed according to the big hit symbol is finished as shown in FIG. 19 or FIG. The game ball that entered the normal design gate 17 during the extended extension state is detected by the normal design operation switch 17a, and if it is determined to be a hit by the determination of the normal design, the normal electric accessory is 1.5 seconds. It will be opened twice (see FIG. 18), and the game ball into the second starting opening 12 can enter. As shown in FIG. 21(a), when the game ball enters the second starting opening 12, the second starting opening switch 12a changes from the OFF state to the ON state, and one reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored. ((A) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). Then, when the reserved storage is exhausted, the second special symbol starts changing (reference numeral (a) shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol). A game ball is entering the second starting port 12 during the change of the second special symbol, and one reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored (reference numeral shown in timing chart of second starting port SW). (b)). Then, the changing second special symbol is stopped, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, the first small hit game 1 is executed.

The first small hit game of the present embodiment is the opening time of the big winning hole 14 from the start interval of the first small hit game, the small winning game period consisting of the end interval of the first small hit game, and the opening of the big winning hole 14. It consists of time. Here, the start interval of the small hit game means a period from when the small hit symbol is definitely displayed in the special symbol until the special winning opening is opened. Also, the end interval of the small hit game is a period from the end of the opening of the special winning opening to the end of the small hit game. The start interval of the first small hit game is set to 0.5 seconds. Further, the opening time of the special winning opening 14 in the first small hit game is 1.8 seconds because the maximum opening time of 0.9 seconds is twice. And the end interval of the first small hit game is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, the small hitting game period of the first small hitting game is 1.0 second in total, which is 0.5 seconds of the start interval time and 0.5 seconds of the end interval time.
During all the small hit games of the present embodiment, that is, after the special winning opening 14 for the special electric auditors has started opening, etc., the big winning opening for the special electric auditors has been opened. Until the time when the small hit game ends, even if the reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored, the reserved memory is exhausted and the second special symbol does not start changing.

As described above, until the first small hit game ends, the variation of the special symbol is not started, so the stored storage of the stored second special symbol is not digested and the second special symbol does not start the variation. Therefore, after the first small hitting game 1 is finished, the stored second reserved memory (reference numeral (b) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW) is digested by entering the second starting opening 12 earlier. Then, the second special symbol starts to change (reference numeral (b) shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol). As shown in FIG. 21(a), since the game ball has entered the second starting opening 12 during the end interval time of the first small hit game 1, one additional reserved memory of the second special symbol is added. Is stored in the state (reference numeral (c) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW).

After the first small hit game 1 is finished, the above-mentioned reserved memory is digested, the fluctuation of the second special symbol is started, and the fluctuation is finished and the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed (the timing chart of the second special symbol). (B)), the first small hit game 2 is executed.
As shown in FIG. 21(a), while the big winning opening 14 of the first small hit game 2 is open, there is a game ball entering the second starting opening 12, and one reserved memory for the second special symbol is added. Are stored (reference numeral (d) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). Then, after the first small hit game 2 is finished, the reserved storage of the second special symbol is digested in the old order, the second special symbol starts to change, and the change stops (shown by the timing chart of the second special symbol. Symbols (c), (d)). After that, the game ball newly enters the second starting port 12, the reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored (reference numeral (e) shown in the timing chart of the second starting port SW), and the reserved memory is exhausted. Then, the second special symbol starts changing, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed (reference numeral (e) shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol), the first small hit game 3 will be executed. ..

Next, a case where it is determined that a small hit has occurred during the open extension state and the second small hit game is executed will be described using the timing chart shown in FIG. 21(b).
First, it is determined that the jackpot is a big hit, and as shown in FIG. 19 or FIG. The game ball that entered the normal design gate 17 during the extended extension state is detected by the normal design operation switch 17a, and if it is determined to be a hit by the determination of the normal design, the normal electric accessory is 1.5 seconds. It will be opened twice (see FIG. 18), and the game ball into the second starting opening 12 can enter. As shown in FIG. 21(b), when the game ball enters the second starting port 12, the second starting port switch 12a changes from the OFF state to the ON state, and one reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored. ((A) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). Then, when the reserved storage is exhausted, the second special symbol starts changing (reference numeral (a) shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol). A game ball enters the second starting opening 12 during the change, and one reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored (reference numeral (b) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). Then, the changing second special symbol is stopped, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, the second small hit game 1 is executed.

The second small hit game of the present embodiment is the opening time of the big winning opening 14 from the start interval of the second small hit game, the small winning game period consisting of the end interval of the second small hit game, and the opening of the big winning opening 14. It consists of time. Here, the start interval of the second small hit game is set to 1.5 seconds. Further, the opening time of the special winning opening 14 in the second small hit game is 1.8 seconds because the maximum 0.9 seconds is opened twice as in the first small hit game. And the end interval of the second small hit game is set to 1.5 seconds. Therefore, the small hitting game period of the second small hitting game is 3.0 seconds, which is 1.5 seconds of the start interval + 1.5 seconds of the end interval.

As shown in FIG. 21(b), since the game ball enters the second starting opening 12 during the opening time of the second small hit game 1, one additional reserved memory for the second special symbol is added. Are stored (reference numeral (c) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). Even if the reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored during the second small hit game 1, the fluctuation of the second special symbol is not started as the reserved memory is exhausted. Then, after the second small hit game 1 is finished, the oldest stored second reserved memory is exhausted, and the second special symbol starts to change ((the reference symbol (b shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol (b )). Incidentally, since the game ball has entered the second starting opening 12 before the fluctuation is started, one additional reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored (second). Reference numeral (d) shown in the timing chart of the starting port SW).

After that, the variation of the second special symbol is stopped, and the first small hit game 2 is executed by the fixed display of the small hit symbol. In addition, as shown in FIG. 21(b), since the game ball has entered the second starting opening 12 while the big winning opening 14 of the second small hit game 2 is open, the second special symbol is reserved. This means that one additional memory is stored (reference numeral (e) shown in the timing chart of the second starting opening SW). After that, after the second small hit game 2, the second reserve memory is digested in the old order, the reserve memory of the second special symbol is digested in the old order, the second special symbol starts changing, and the change stops. ((Numbers (c), (d), (e) shown in the timing chart of the second special symbol)).

As shown in the timing charts shown in FIGS. 21(a) and 21(b) described above, the small hitting game period of the first small hitting game which is determined to be a small hit during the open extension state and is executed, There is a time difference of 2 seconds between the small hit game period and the small hit game period. In addition, during the small hitting game, even if the reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored, the reserved memory is not exhausted, so that there is no determination as to whether or not there is a win, and the second special symbol does not start changing.
Therefore, when the first small hit game is executed earlier during the open extension state, the second special symbol will start changing after the small hit game ends, and the special symbol changes during the open extended state. The number of times you do it increases. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, since the small hit probability of the second special symbol is as high as 1/14, if the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is large, the first small hit game is executed during the opening extension state. This means that the small hit game is executed more often. On the other hand, the number of times the second special symbol is changed during the opening extension state in which the second small hit game is executed is smaller than that in the opening extension state in which the first small hit game is executed, so the second small hit game is executed. In the extended extension state, the number of times the small hit game is executed is smaller.

In the present embodiment, as the small hit game mode executed during the extended extension state, the first small hit game and the second small hit game are provided, but the present invention is not limited to these two and is different. A small hit game mode may be provided. Further, it is also conceivable that the first small hit game is switched to the second small hit game, or vice versa, depending on the number of times the special symbol is changed, once in the extended extension state. In that case, it is possible to change the number of times of change depending on the jackpot pattern. Since the first small hit game is more advantageous in comparison, the player should be interested in how to switch to the first small hit game or how long the first small hit game lasts. Will be able to.
Further, in the small hit game of the present embodiment, the time of the start interval and the end interval are the same, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, a start interval and an end interval each having different times may be provided, and a small hitting game having different start intervals and end intervals may be provided. Further, as a difference between the first small hit game and the second small hit game, the time may be set to be different only in the start interval, or may be set only in the end interval, and the second small hit is compared. It suffices if the game can be carried out so that the small hitting game period becomes longer.
Furthermore, it is possible to change not only the start and end intervals but also the opening time of the special winning opening 14. In that case, the second small hit game with a long opening time of the special winning opening 14 may be set to have a higher base, and the first small hit game is the number of occurrences of the small hit game per hour. The 2 small hit game can give the player different playability by raising the base with the number of balls acquired in one small hit game.

Next, the effect mode set by the sub integrated control device 83 according to the small hit game executed during the extended extension state will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the state designation command transmitted from the main control device 80 in S645 of FIG. 15 has been received (S750). When a negative determination is made (S750: no), this processing is ended as it is. Further, in the case of a positive determination (S750: yes), it is determined whether or not the first small hit game is executed during the open extension state that shifts from the state designation command after the end of the big hit game (S755). In the case of a positive determination (S755: yes), in S760, the sub integrated control device 83 sets the first effect mode (see FIG. 25), and returns. In addition, in the case of a negative determination (S755: no), it is determined whether or not the second small hit game is executed during the open extension state that shifts after the big hit game ends (S765). In the case of a positive determination (S765: yes), in S770, the sub integrated control device 83 sets the second effect mode (see FIG. 26), and the process returns. If the state designation command does not shift to the extended extension state after the jackpot game ends (S765: no), the process directly returns.

Next, during the first presentation mode (see FIG. 25) or the second production mode (see FIG. 26), in the prefetch determination processing (S130) of FIG. The prefetching effect execution process performed by the sub integrated control device 83 upon reception will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch determination command transmitted from the main control device 80 has been received (S800). In the case of a negative determination (S800: no), the process directly returns. When the prefetch determination command is received (S800: yes), it is determined whether the first effect mode is set (S805). In the case of a positive determination (S805: yes), in S810, the first prefetch effect determination processing is performed. If the first effect mode is not set (S805: no), it is determined whether or not the second effect mode is set (S815). When a negative determination is made (S815: no), the process directly returns. When the second effect mode is set (S815: yes), the second prefetching effect determination process is performed in S820.

In the first prefetch effect determination process (S810) of the present embodiment, it is a process of deciding which prefetch effect is to be performed from among a plurality of types of prefetch effects (continuous prefetch effect, hold prefetch effect). In the production, it is configured to include a look-ahead production that suggests in advance that a variation in which the first small hitting game is executed is performed by the holding symbol displayed on the production symbol display device 6 (FIG. 27). (See (a)). Further, in the second prefetching effect determination process (S820), it is a process of deciding which prefetching effect is to be performed from among a plurality of types of prefetching effects (continuous prefetching effect, hold prefetching effect). Inside, it is configured to include a pre-reading effect that suggests in advance that a variation that a big hit game is executed is made by a holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 27(b)). ).

Next, a specific example of the effect will be described while exemplifying the effect screen displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the game in the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment.

FIG. 24 shows an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the normal gaming state (low probability gaming state and non-open extension state) of the pachinko machine 50.
As shown in FIG. 24A, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. In the lower right part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 94 “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” is displayed.
Further, in the lower left part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a reserved symbol 95, a reserved symbol 96, a reserved symbol 97, and a reserved symbol 98 are displayed from the left. When the reserved symbol of this example is a normal reserved symbol, it is simply a white circle display mode (the same applies to FIGS. 24 to 27).

And if it shifts to FIG.24(b), the left production design 91 will stop at "7", the right production design 93 will stop at "7", and since the middle production design 92 is changing, it is a reach state. Is informed. After that, when shifting to FIG. 24(c), since all the effect symbols are stopped at "7", the player is informed that the big hit has been achieved.

Next, a specific example of the effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when the first effect mode is set by the first effect mode setting process (S760) shown in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. To do.

As shown in FIG. 25A, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. A display example 99 is displayed on the upper left side of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the display example 99, "Tatsuyoshi RUSH earn a ball with a small hit!" is displayed. With the display example, the player is informed that the current game state is in the extended extension state in which the first small hit game is executed when it is determined that the small hit has occurred.

And if it transfers to FIG.25(b), the left production design 91 will stop at "2", the right production design 93 will be "8", and the inside production design 92 will be changing. And if it transfers to FIG.25(c), the left production design 91 will stop at "2", the right production design 93 at "8", and the middle production design 92 will stop at the design displayed as "Tachiyoshi". There is. The production mode shown in FIG. 25(c), during the opening extension state in which the first small hit game occurs, it is determined as a small hit and the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed by the second special symbol, and the first small hit game is displayed. It informs that it will be executed.

After the first small hit game is over, the process moves to FIG. 25(d). As shown in FIG. 25(d), the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. Further, when the change of the pending storage of the pending symbol 95 is started, the display of the pending symbol 95 disappears from the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the pending symbol 96, the pending symbol 97 and the pending symbol shown in FIG. 25(c). From each set position of 98, as shown in FIG. 25D, it moves to the left.

Next, a specific example of the effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when the second effect mode is set by the second effect mode setting process (S770) shown in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. To do.

As shown in FIG. 26A, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. A display example 100 is displayed on the upper left side of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the display example 100, “electric power support mode” is displayed. By the display example, the player is informed that the current game state is in the extended extension state in which the second small hit game is executed when it is determined that the small hit has occurred.

And if it transfers to FIG.26(b), the left production design 91 will stop at "2", the right production design 93 will be "8", and the middle production design 92 will be changing. And if it transfers to FIG.26(c), the left production design 91 will stop at "2", the right production design 93 at "8", and the middle production design 92 will stop at the design displayed as "small win". ing. The production mode shown in FIG. 26(c) is that the small winning symbol is confirmed and displayed by the second special symbol during the extended extension state in which the second small winning symbol game is generated, and the second small winning symbol game is executed. It is a notification.

After the second small hit game is over, the process moves to FIG. As shown in FIG. 26D, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. Further, when the fluctuation of the reserved storage of the reserved symbol 95 is started, the display of the reserved symbol 95 disappears from the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the reserved symbol 96, the reserved symbol 97 and the reserved symbol shown in FIG. 26(c). From each set position of 98, it moves to the left as shown in FIG.

The first effect mode is determined during the opening extension state in which the first small hit game occurs, or the second effect mode is determined in the opening extension state during which the second small hit game occurs, and is determined. The different production modes allow the player to appear as if they are in different game states depending on the degree of advantage, even in the same open extension state.

Next, when the first effect mode is set, a specific example of the prefetch effect performed by the prefetch effect execution process of FIG. 23 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 27(a). explain.
As shown in FIG. 27A, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing. In the display example 99 displayed on the upper left side of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, since "Tatsuyoshi RUSH wins a ball with a small hit!" is displayed, the first small hit game flag is set to 1. It indicates that the open extension state has been set. And, unlike the normal hold design, the hold design 97 on the screen of the effect design display device 6 has a display mode in which "!!" is displayed. This is a look-ahead effect using a holding symbol that indicates to the player that the second special symbol is determined to correspond to the small hit during the first special mode selection. In the first small hit game, it is highly possible that the number of balls held will increase even in small hits, so players are interested in small hits as well as big hits. I am supposed to do it.

Next, when the second effect mode is set, a specific example of the prefetch effect performed by the prefetch effect execution process of FIG. 21 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 27(b). explain.
As shown in FIG. 27B, the left effect symbol 91, the right effect symbol 93, and the middle effect symbol 92 are changing. In the display example 100 displayed at the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, since "electric support mode" is displayed, the second small hit game is executed when it is determined to be a small hit. It is in an extended state. Then, unlike the normal hold design, the hold design 97 on the screen of the effect design display device 6 has a display mode in which "★" is displayed. This is a look-ahead effect using a holding symbol that indicates to the player that the second special symbol is determined to correspond to the big hit in the pending storage of the second special symbol.

In the second small hit game of the present embodiment, the number of small hits per hour is small in comparison, and the possibility of increasing the number of balls held (or the decreasing pace becomes slower) is low, so as a player Has little hope for a small hit. Therefore, the look-ahead effect in the second small hit game is to give only a notice about the big hit.
In this way, it is possible to perform a suitable effect by changing the prefetch effect mode depending on which of the small hit games is selected.
Also, a completely opposite configuration is possible. In the first small hit game, since the occurrence rate of the small hit game per hour is high, it becomes complicated if the pre-reading effect is performed up to the small hit. Therefore, only the big hit is pre-reading effect, and conversely the second small hit game. Since the occurrence rate of the small hitting game per time is low, if the small hitting is suggested in the pre-reading effect, the pre-reading effect with a proper appearance rate can be obtained in either case.
Even if the look-ahead effect mode is changed, the same look-ahead symbols ("!" or "*") may be shared, or different look-ahead patterns may be selected. When sharing, whichever prefetching effect mode is used, there is an advantage that it is easy to understand because it is shown with a common prefetching pattern. When different modes are used, the same prefetching determination is used, but completely different renderings can be performed. become able to.
Further, it is also conceivable that either one may be configured not to perform prefetching effect. In the first small hit game, it is a feeling that the big hit comes while the small hits occur frequently, so the player can fully enjoy it without intentionally prefetching, and conversely if the second small hit game is not performed. Can be expected to become the first small hitting game if the pre-reading effect is not intentionally performed in order to provide a difference in advantage between the first small hitting game and the effect. ..
Further, in the present embodiment, as long as the game state is not changed, the first or second small hit game is continuously set, but the change is made to the normal small hit game after the number of times the special symbol changes. It is also conceivable that the configuration is done. In this way, particularly in the first small hit game, it is possible to prevent excessive winning of coins due to the small hit, and the game store can play the game with peace of mind.

In the pre-reading effect mode of the present embodiment, depending on whether or not one of the pre-reading effect mode is selected, the pre-reading effect regarding the big hit or the small hit is performed in the one pre-reading effect mode, and the pre-reading effect regarding the big hit is applied in the other pre-reading effect mode. Although the configuration for performing the above has been described, other configurations may be considered in addition to this configuration. For example, even if the prefetch determination command transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 by the prefetch determination process of S130 has the same content, different prefetch production is performed depending on which prefetch production mode is selected. It may be configured. In that case, even when the pre-reading determination command indicating the small hit determination of the same content transmitted from the main control device 80 by the pre-reading determination process of S130 is received and the first effect mode is being selected, FIG. As shown in Fig. 27, the display mode of the reserved symbol is set to "!!", and if the second effect mode is being selected, the display mode of the reserved symbol may be set to "★" as shown in Fig. 27(b). To be

According to the above ball game machine, when it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination process (S55), the big hit symbol displayed as the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. Among the big hit symbols shown in 20, depending on which big hit symbol, the small hit game executed during the open extension state that shifts after the big hit game based on the symbol indicating the big hit is different. During the extended extension state of the present embodiment, the time in the extended extension state by the variation time of the special symbol, the small hit probability, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors, the opening time of the special winning opening 14 in the small hit game. It does not affect the occurrence rate of the first small hit game and the second small hit game per hit.
The first small hit game executed when the first small hit game flag is set, the small small hit game period (start interval and end interval) is set shorter than the second small hit game. From this, the interval for opening the special winning opening 14 can be narrowed, and the number of times the first small hit game is executed per time in the open extension state is increased.
On the other hand, the second small hit game executed when the second small hit game flag is set is compared with the first small hit game executed when the first small hit game flag is set. Since the long small hit game period (start interval and end interval) is set, the interval for opening the special winning opening 14 is widened, and the second small hit game per time is executed in the open extension state. Few times.
Therefore, with the above configuration, even if the variation time of the special symbol, the winning probability of the small hit, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors, the opening time of the special winning opening 14 in the small hit game is constant, the opening Changes can be made to the extended base.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration/state of the present embodiment and the constituent features of the present invention will be shown.
The "gaming area" of the present invention corresponds to the gaming area 3 shown in FIG. 2, the "first starting opening" of the present invention corresponds to the first starting opening 11, and the "second starting opening" of the present invention is It corresponds to the second starting opening 12, the "special winning opening" of the present invention corresponds to the special winning opening 14, and the "win/win determination means" of the present invention corresponds to the win/win determination processing (S55) of FIG.

[Example 2]

The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 30. Since this embodiment has a lot in common with the second embodiment, the different points will be mainly described.

Differences between the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment and the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment will be described.
In the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment, a configuration in which the small hit game executed during the open extension state after the big hit game is different is described according to the big hit symbol shown in FIG. 19 or FIG. In the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, the small hit game executed during the open extension state has a different structure depending on the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit.

First, with reference to FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, a win/loss determination process executed by the main controller 80 of the second embodiment will be described.
After making a determination in the probability variation table (S190) in FIG. 7 or the normal table (S195) in main controller 80, in S850 in FIG. 28, based on the determination in S190 or S195 described above, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit ( S850). When it is determined to be a big hit (S850: yes), the hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S855). After that, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S860). In the fluctuation pattern determination process, the big hit fluctuation pattern is determined by a random number for fluctuation pattern determination. After the fluctuation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S865). Depending on the jackpot setting process determined by the jackpot setting process, the game state after the jackpot (whether there is a certainty change or opening extension etc.) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of jackpot, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) This is the process to acquire.

If it is determined to be out in S850 (S850: no), the process proceeds to S870 and it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (S870). This compares the extracted big hit determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), the small hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determination random number (S875). The small hit probability of the second special symbol is 1/14 as shown in FIG. After that, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S880), and it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit is the probability variation state and the open extension state (S885). If it is the probability variation state or the open extension state (S885: yes), the first small hit setting process (S886) is performed, and the process merges with S895. Further, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit is neither the probability change state nor the extended extension state (S885: no), the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit is the extended extension state. It is determined whether or not it is only (S887). In the case of a positive determination (S887: yes), the second small hit setting process (S888) is performed, and the process merges with S895. If the determination is negative (S887: no), the third small hit setting process (S889) is performed, and the process proceeds to S895.

Information about the first small hit game (the start interval of the first small hit game is 0.5 seconds, the end interval of the first small hit game is 0.5 seconds, the big prize) This is a process of acquiring the opening pattern of the mouth 14 twice (maximum 0.9 seconds) and subtracting the number of time saving or the number of probability changes.
In addition, the second small hitting setting processing of S888 is the information concerning the second small hitting game (starting interval of the second small hitting game is 1.5 seconds, ending interval of the second small hitting game is 1.5 seconds, This is a process of acquiring the opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 twice (maximum 0.9 seconds) and subtracting the number of time saving or the number of probability changes.
Further, the third small hit setting process of S891 is information related to the small hit game executed when the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the normal game state or when the probability variation state (start interval of the small hit game. 0.8 seconds, the end interval of the second small hit game is 0.8 seconds, the opening pattern of the special winning opening 14 is opened twice at a maximum of 0.9 seconds), and the number of shortening times or the number of certainty changes is subtracted. Processing.

When it is determined in S870 that it is not a small hit (S870: no), a variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determining random number (S890), a loss setting process (S891) is performed, and the flow joins to S895. In the loss setting process of S891, a process of subtracting the number of time reductions and the number of probability changes is performed.

In addition, the first small hit game, the second small hit game and the small hit game executed in a game state other than the opening extension state of this embodiment are both open the special winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.9 seconds twice. To do. After that, the probability change function, the time reduction function, and the opening extension function do not change.

In the special figure fluctuation start command transmission process (S895), following S865, S886, S888, S889 or S891, data showing the above-mentioned lottery results, specifically, normal big hit, probability variation big hit, small hit or not, small hit Type of hit (first small hit game, second small hit game or small hit game executed in a game state other than the extended extension state), reach out (reach but reach display), no reach display A variation start command (display control command) including data indicating either one and variation pattern data designating the variation time is output to the sub integrated control device 83, and the special game process is performed. Note that the sub integrated control device 83 determines the effect to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 from among a plurality of kinds of effects, based on the received variation start command. Thereafter, the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbol, but at the same time, the variation of the special symbol is also started by the main controller 80. The effect symbol display device 6 executes effect display based on the variation pattern, and displays various notices and reach effects of whether the player is hit or missed. The player can grasp the degree of expectation for the hit by looking at the notice and the reach effect.

When it is determined in S160 of FIG. 7 that the definite symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the main control device 80 of the second embodiment moves to S900 of FIG. 29, and whether the definite symbol display time ends. Determine whether or not. If the determination is negative (S900: no), special game processing is performed. In the case of affirmative determination (S900: yes), the display of the fixed symbol is ended (S905), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been fixedly displayed is a jackpot (S910). When a positive determination is made (S910: yes), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S915). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S915: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S920, and the process proceeds to S925. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S915: no), the process directly proceeds to S925. In S925, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1. If the time saving flag is 1 (S925: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S930, and the process proceeds to S935. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S925: no), the process directly proceeds to S935.

In S935, the jackpot flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. In S940, the accessory continuously operating device is activated, and in S945, a big hit game start process is performed. In the big hit start effect process, a command to start the big hit game and information relating to the big hit game (opening time of big hit, opening pattern, ending time of big hit, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit game start process ends, a special game process is performed.

In S910, when it is determined that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big hit display (S910: no), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S955: yes), the number of probability variation. Is determined to be 0 (S960). If the number of probability changes is 0 (S960: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S965, and the process proceeds to S970. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S975: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S960: no), the process directly proceeds to S970.
In S970, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S970: yes), it is determined whether the number of time saving is 0 (S975). If the number of time saving is 0 (S975: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S980, and the process proceeds to S985. When the time saving flag is not 1 (S970: no) or when the number of times saving is not 0 (S975: no), the process directly proceeds to S985.

In S985, whether or not the main control device 80 is currently changing the game state, a state designating command indicating a state such as whether or not it is in time saving, after the special symbol confirmation time (600 ms) sub integrated control device 83 To execute a special game process.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing of transmitting the state designating command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the special symbol winning/discarding determination process is after the special symbol fixing time, but at the start of the special symbol fluctuation and the power source. The state designation command may be transmitted even at the time of restoration.

Then, it transfers to S990. In S990, main control device 80 determines whether or not the symbols that have been finalized and displayed are combinations that result in a small hit (S990). If the combination does not result in a small hit (S990: no), the process is returned as it is. If the combination is a small hit (S990: yes), the operation of the special electric auditors product is started (S991), and the small hit game start process (S995) is performed. In the present embodiment, when the current gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the probability variation state and the open extension state, the first small hit game is executed, and the current gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is only the open extension state. In this case, the second small hit game will be executed. Further, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is only the normal gaming state or the probability changing state, the normal small hit game is executed.
In the small hit game start processing (S995), a command for starting the small hit game and information relating to the small hit game (opening time of the small hit, opening pattern, ending time of the small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. .. When the small hit game start process ends, the game returns.

Next, regarding the production mode which is set by the sub integrated control device 83 during the probability variation state in which the first small hit game is executed and the opening extension state, and in the opening extension state in which the second small hit game is executed, FIG. This will be described using a flowchart.

First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the state designation command transmitted from the main control device 80 is received after the jackpot end command is transmitted in the special game process (S1000). When a negative determination is made (S1000: no), this processing is ended as it is. Further, in the case of a positive determination (S1000: yes), it is determined whether or not the gaming state to be shifted from the state designation command after the big hit game is the certainty variation state and the open extension state (S1005). In the case of a positive determination (S1005: yes), the sub integrated control device 83 sets the first effect mode (S1010), and returns. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S1005: no), it is determined whether or not the gaming state to be shifted after the big hit game is only the open extension state (S1015). In the case of a positive determination (S1015: yes), the sub integrated control device 83 sets the second effect mode (S1020), and returns. In the case of a negative determination (S1015: no), the process directly returns. Incidentally, as the state designation, it is desirable to transmit the four combinations by a command, as in the conventional case, whether the probability variation function is activated or not, and the open extension function is activated. In that case, even if the sub integrated control device 83 receives the same designated state command, the sub integrated control device 83 refers to the stored transition of the designated state until now to determine whether it is the probable variation state and the open extension state or the open extension state. Judge by yourself and set the display mode.

According to the above ball game machine, whether the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit in the open extension state by the hit determination processing is only the open extension state, the probability variation state and the open extension state. Depending on the small hit game to be executed.
The first small hit game executed during the probability variation state and the open extension state has a short small hit game period (start interval and end interval) set as compared to the second small hit game executed during the open extension state. Therefore, the interval for opening the special winning opening 14 can be narrowed, and the number of times the first small hit game is executed per time in the open extension state is increased.
On the other hand, the second small hit game executed during the open extension state is a small small hit game period (start interval and end interval) that is longer than the first small hit game executed during the probability variation state and the open extension state. Since, is set, the interval for opening the special winning opening 14 is wider than the first small hit game, and the number of times the second small hit game is executed per time in the open extension state is reduced.
Even during the open extension state, depending on whether the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is a probability change state or not, there is a difference in the number of times the small hit game per hour is performed during the open extension state, and the base during the open extension state. Can be different.

In the second embodiment, if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit, the first small hit game is executed if the probability variation state and the open extension state, and the second small hit if only the open extension state. Although the configuration in which the game is executed has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the game state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a small hit is the open extension state, the first small hit game is executed. The second small hit game may be executed if the probability variation state and the extended extension state. In the past, in the probability change state and the open extension state, the probability that the open extension function is activated as well as the jackpot is higher and the jackpot game is more likely to be executed, so only the open extension state Preferred by players over players. However, with the above-mentioned configuration, even if the game goes to the extended extension state without shifting to the probability variation state after the end of the big hit game, it becomes a privilege to the transition to the opening extension state, and the probability variation state and the opening state. A game can be played while increasing the number of balls in the small hit during the open extended state, compared to the case where the small hit occurs during the extended state.

Further, the probability variation state and the open extension state, or not only to surely execute the first or second small hit game when it becomes only the open extension state, there may be a case where it is executed by the big hit symbol and a case where it is not executed. .. By doing so, it is possible to substantially change the two gaming states of the probability variation state and the open extension state into four gaming states, and it becomes possible to play in a wider variety of gaming states.
Also, while the game state is described as being executed while continuing, it is also conceivable that when the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of fluctuations, it is changed to a normal small hit game. By setting a limit on the number of advantageous small hit games, it is possible to prevent excessive payout. It should be noted that it is also possible to change the number of times this ends depending on the big hit symbol.

In the pachinko machine 50 of the first and second embodiments, by changing the small hitting game period (start interval and end interval) of the small hitting game executed during the open extended state, it changes based on the open extended state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other configurations may be combined to change the base in the open extended state. For example, the variation time of the second special symbol, the fixed display time after the symbol is confirmed, the probability of being determined as a small hit, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors, the opening time of the big winning opening in the small hit game, etc. It is conceivable that the combination of the small hit game and the small hit game period gives a change to the base during the extended extension state.
