Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a member such as a nail or a windmill for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area 21.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery. The high-probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low-probability state. In the high-probability state, the chance of winning the big hit lottery is higher than in the low-probability state, so that the gaming state is advantageous for the player. The high-probability state is a so-called “probability change state (probability change state)”.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls fired is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that a game ball will enter the second starting opening 29 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is a so-called "electric power support state", and the low base state is a so-called "non-electric power support state". In the high base state, the probability that the game ball will enter the second starting opening 29 increases, and it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the second starting opening 29. Therefore, a game state advantageous for the player (ball entering It will be in an easy state and an improved rate of entry.

For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a variation time shortening control of the ordinary symbol that makes the variation time of the ordinary game shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is a probability variation control of a normal symbol that changes the probability of winning a normal symbol hit lottery (ordinary winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control for making the total opening time of the normal variable member 30 in one normal hit game longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, control for increasing the number of times the normal variable member 30 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one opening of the normal variable member 30 in the normal hit game. At least one of the controls for making the time longer than that in the low base state may be performed.

In the present embodiment, the normal hit probability in the low base state exceeds 0. Therefore, normally, the variable member 30 can be operated in the allowable state in the low base state. The normal hit probability in the low base state may be zero. In this case, normally, the variable member 30 is not operated in the allowable state in the low base state. That is, it can be said that the low base state is a state in which it is more difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port 29 or the game ball does not enter the second starting port 29 as compared to the high base state.

Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a variation time shortening control of a special symbol that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, the average variation time) shorter than that in the low base state. When performing the variation time reduction control of the special symbol, the high base state is a so-called "variation time reduction state" for the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is a so-called "non-variable time shortened state" for special symbols.

In the following description, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a low base state is shown as a "low-probability low base state", and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a low base state is shown as a "high-probability low base state". In addition, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a high base state is shown as a "low-probability-high base state", and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a high base state is shown as a "high-probability-high base state".

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as jackpot symbols of special symbols. The types of jackpots are defined for a plurality of types of jackpot designs. The type of jackpot game is defined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot patterns (type of jackpot).

In the big hit game, first, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined opening time. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined effect, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed. In the big hit game, after the opening time elapses, a plurality of round games for opening the special winning opening 31 are performed. The round game is played with the upper limit number of times as the upper limit. In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of times is a predetermined number of times.

One round game is a first end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number (“10” in the present embodiment) of game balls enters the special winning opening 31, or a second end in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. It ends when the condition is met. In the round game, the special winning opening 31 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. In the round game, a round effect is performed. Then, in the jackpot game, when the final round game is finished, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined ending time. In the present embodiment, an ending effect that notifies the end of the big hit game is performed as the predetermined effect. The big hit game is ended as the ending time elapses.

Next, a concrete big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, out of 100 kinds of big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display portion 22a as the game result of the first special game, 10 kinds of big hit symbols are in the symbol ZA, 40 The types of big hit symbols are classified into the symbols ZB, and the 50 types of big hit symbols are classified into the symbols ZC. Further, out of 100 kinds of big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display portion 22b as the game result of the second special game, 99 kinds of big hit symbols are the symbols Za, and one kind of big hit symbol is the symbols Zb, respectively. It is classified. Hereinafter, as the type of big hit, it is expressed as a big hit based on the symbols ZA to ZC, Za, Zb by using the kind of big hit symbols. Also, as the type of big hit game given based on the type of big hit, it is expressed as a big hit game based on the symbols ZA to ZC, Za, Zb using the type of big hit symbols.

As a big hit game based on the symbols ZA, Za, Zb, 16 times is set as the upper limit number of round games. As a jackpot game based on the symbols ZB and ZC, 8 times, which is less than 16 times, is set as the upper limit number of round games.

In the present embodiment, in principle, for each jackpot game, 25 s is defined as the upper limit time of the round game, and 2 s is defined as the inter-round interval time. On the other hand, exceptionally, when it is a high base state when winning the big hit lottery, and when it becomes a big hit based on the symbol Zb, 7s is defined as the inter-round interval time only for the eighth round game. ing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same opening time (8 s in the present embodiment) and the same ending time (10 s in the present embodiment) are set for all types of jackpot games.

As each big hit game, distribution control information indicating the control content of the distribution member 38 is defined. In the present embodiment, the operation round game in which the distribution member 38 is operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state and then is operated from the first distribution state to the second distribution state is the fourth round. The game is fixed. For this reason, when the operation round game is started, the distribution member 38 is operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state based on the distribution control information determined for the type of jackpot, and then the first distribution state. The distribution state is changed to the second distribution state. In the non-operation round game which is not the operation round game, the distribution member 38 is not operated from the second distribution state to the first distribution state and maintains the second distribution state. In this way, in a plurality of round games, an operating round game that can operate the distribution member 38 in the first distribution state and a non-operation round game that does not operate the distribution member 38 in the first distribution state. is there.

The control contents (distribution control) of the distribution member 38 include short distribution control in which the distribution member 38 is in the first distribution state for a short time and time when the distribution member 38 is in the first distribution state. There is a long long distribution control. That is, the control content of the distribution member 38 includes a plurality of types of distribution control for operating the distribution member 38 so that the time for obtaining the first distribution state is different.

Further, as the distribution control information, the start condition of each distribution control is determined so as to correspond to each type of big hit. Specifically, the start condition of each distribution control is satisfied when the number of game balls entered by the special prize sensor SE3 in the operation round game reaches a specified number. Specifically, as the start condition of the short distribution control, the number of game balls entered by the special prize sensor SE3 in the operation round game is "1", as in all types of big hit games. Is established as a trigger. As the start condition of the long distribution control, in the big hit game based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb, the number of entered balls of the game ball detected by the special winning sensor SE3 in the operation round game is "2". Is established as a trigger, and is not established in the jackpot game based on the symbol ZC (indicated as "0" in the figure).

In the present embodiment, the number of balls entered, which is the start condition for the long distribution control, is set to be larger than the number of balls entered that is the start condition for the short distribution control. Therefore, in the operation round game, the long distribution control may be performed after the short distribution control is performed, and the short distribution control is not performed after the long distribution control is performed. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the distribution control information defines the termination condition of each distribution control. As the end condition of the short distribution control, when 0.02s has passed since the start condition was satisfied, or when the operating round game ends by 0.02s after the start condition is satisfied To establish. The end condition of the long distribution control is satisfied when the operation round game ends regardless of the time elapsed after the start condition is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, as the termination condition of the short distribution control, a time shorter than the time from when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 to when the game ball reaches the distribution member 38 is set. .. In addition, the total time of the time determined as the termination condition of the short distribution control and the time until the distribution member 38 is operated to change from the first distribution state to the second distribution state is the special winning sensor. It is shorter than the time from when the game ball is detected in SE3 until the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. In this way, when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 and the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 operates from the second distribution state to the first distribution state. By the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38, the condition for ending the short distribution control is satisfied, and the distribution member 38 operates from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. That is, in the short distribution control, the distribution member 38 takes the first distribution state when the number of game balls entering the special winning opening 31 in each operation round game becomes "1". Is a distribution control that operates so that the distribution member 38 takes the second distribution state by the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. Therefore, it can be said that the short distribution control is distribution control that makes it difficult to distribute the game ball to the special passage area 36.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the time from when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 to when the sorting member 38 is moved from the second sorting state to the first sorting state is the special winning sensor SE3. Is shorter than the time from when the game ball is detected to when it reaches the distribution member 38. In this way, when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 and the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, the distribution member 38 makes the second distribution by the time the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. It will operate from the minute state to the first distribution state.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the specified number set as the start condition of each distribution control is greater than the upper limit number of game balls entering the special winning opening 31 set as the first end condition in one round game. Is also set to a small number. In this way, when the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3 and the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, the first end condition of the operation round game is reached before the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. Is not established, and the distribution member 38 continues to take (maintains) the first distribution state unless the second end condition of the operation round game is satisfied. That is, in the long distribution control, the distribution member 38 takes the first distribution state when the number of game balls entering the special winning opening 31 in each operation round game becomes “2”. The distribution control is such that the distribution member 38 can continuously take the first distribution state until the game ball reaches the distribution member 38. Therefore, the long distribution control is distribution control that enables distribution of the game balls to the special passage area 36, and the game balls that enter the special winning opening 31 are special compared to the short distribution control. It can be said that this is distribution control that allows the passage region 36 to easily pass. Further, the short distribution control can be said to be distribution control in which the game ball entering the special winning opening 31 does not easily pass through the special passage area 36, as compared with the long distribution control.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the big hit game based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb, short distribution control and long distribution control are performed in the operation round game. In the big hit game based on the symbol ZC, short distribution control is performed in the operation round game, but long distribution control is not performed. Therefore, in the big hit game based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb, an operating round game that allows passage of the game ball to the special passage area 36 is performed, while in the big hit game based on the symbol ZC. The operation round game that allows the game balls to pass to the special passage area 36 is not performed.

Thus, in the operation round game, the distribution member 38 can be operated so as to take the first distribution state based on the short distribution control, but the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. There is a first operation round game in which the distribution member 38 is not operated. In the operation round game, the distribution member 38 can be operated so as to take the first distribution state based on the short distribution control, and the distribution member 38 can be distributed so as to take the first distribution state based on the long distribution control. There is a second working round game in which the minute member 38 can be operated. It can be said that the first operation round game is a round game in which the game ball entering the special winning opening 31 does not easily pass through the special passage area 36, as compared with the second operation round game.

The types of big hits of the first special game include big hits based on the symbols ZA and big hits based on the symbols ZB and ZC. It can be said that it is a big hit with a low expectation that a high probability state will be given after the end of. In the present embodiment, the big hit based on the symbol ZA corresponds to the first big hit, and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC corresponds to the second big hit, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, a high probability state is given as the game state after the end of the big hit game until the winning of the falling lottery. .. When the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, as a game state after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of special games are ended or a predetermined number of special games are ended. The high base state is given until the big hit game is given before. In this case, the predetermined number of special games includes 100 special games as the minimum guaranteed number of times regardless of whether the high-probability state is given or the low-probability state is given. If the state is given, the 101st and subsequent special games are also included. For this reason, when the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, a high base state is given until the 100 special games are finished unless the big hit game is given, and even after that, a high base state is given. While the probability state is given, the high base state is given, but when the low probability state is given by winning the falling lottery, the low base state is given. When the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the low probability state is given as the game state after the end of the big hit game without being given the high probability state. When the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, a special game of a predetermined upper limit number (100 times in this embodiment) is ended as a game state after the end of the big hit game. Until then, or until the big hit game is awarded before the special game of the maximum number of times is finished, the high base state is provided.

In this embodiment, the jackpot probability is set to 205/65536 (about 1/320) in the low probability state and 451/65536 (about 1/145) in the high probability state. The fall probability is 242/65536 (about 1/271). The normal hit probability is set to 1/65536 in the low base state and 65534/65535 in the high base state. The total opening time of the normal variable member 30 in one normal hit game is 400 ms in the low base state and 1900 ms in the high base state (700 ms for the first opening and 1200 ms for the second opening). There is. The number of prize balls is "4" when the game ball is detected by the first starting sensor SE1, "1" when the game ball is detected by the second starting sensor SE2, and the game ball is detected by the special winning sensor SE3. When it is detected, "15" is set, and when the general winning sensor SE5 detects a game ball, "5" is set.

Next, various processes performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
First, the special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol input process is performed as an interrupt process.

In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting opening 28 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first starting sensor SE1.
When a game ball enters the first starting opening 28, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special reserve number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). To judge. When the first special reserved number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reserved number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the holding condition for the first special game is satisfied. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 to display the updated first special reserved number. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a first hold number command) capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in the output buffer. The information (control command) set in the output buffer is output to the sub-control board 41 in the interrupt processing after the next time.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the random number is a random number used for the falling lottery, a random number used for the big hit lottery, a random number used for determining the big hit symbol, a random number used for determining the variation pattern, or the like. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information so that the random number information is for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In this embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method.

When a game ball has not entered the first starting opening 28, when the first special reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, and when random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control The CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second starting opening 29 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the second starting sensor SE2. When the game ball has not entered the second starting port 29, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

When a game ball enters the second starting opening 29, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second special reserve number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). To judge. When the second special reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. When the second special pending number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the second special pending number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the hold condition for the second special game is satisfied. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 to display the updated second special reserved number. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) that can specify the updated second special hold number in the output buffer.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information so that it is the random number information for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied.

Next, the special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol start process is performed as an interrupt process.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the special game execution condition is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative decision when not in the big hit game and in the special game, while making a negative decision in the big hit game or during the special game. When the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second special pending number stored in the main control RAM 40c is “1” or more. When the second special hold number is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process so as to start the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special pending number is not "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special pending number stored in the main control RAM 40c is "1" or more. When the first special reserved number is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process to start the first special game. On the other hand, if the first special reserved number is not "1" or more, the main control CPU40a ends the special symbol start process. In this way, the main control CPU 40a preferentially executes the second special game over the first special game.

When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the first special holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the updated first special reserved number is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game from the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first, the main control CPU 40a erases the random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to give the low probability state, based on the read random number information and the fall determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to the fall lottery (fall determination), and the main control CPU 40a that performs the fall lottery corresponds to the fall lottery means. The determination as to whether or not to give the low probability state is made, for example, by whether or not the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the fall determination value match.

In the present embodiment, when the special game is started, the falling lottery is performed in either the high-probability state or the low-probability state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the special game is started. The falling lottery may be performed in the high probability state, and the falling lottery may not be performed in the low probability state.

When the falling lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a executes the following processing. The main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control in the low probability state in the main probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a has a value that allows the main base state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c to specify that the main base state flag is controlled to the high base state, and the number of remaining special games that give the high base state is "0". In some cases, the main base state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c is set to a value that can be specified to control to the low base state.

In this way, the main control CPU 40a gives a low probability state when winning the falling lottery. Further, when the falling lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a gives the low base state when the remaining number of times of the special game which gives the high base state is “0”. In this way, the main control CPU 40a for controlling the game state corresponds to the game state giving means.

When the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control in the low probability state in the main probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs information (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state command) capable of specifying the low probability state as an output buffer. Set to. The main control CPU 40a, when setting a value capable of specifying control to a low base state in the main base state flag, outputs information (hereinafter referred to as a low base state command) capable of specifying a low base state to the output buffer. Set to.

Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the big hit, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to the big hit lottery (big hit determination), and the main control CPU 40a that performs the big hit lottery corresponds to the big hit lottery means. Whether or not to win the big hit is determined by, for example, whether or not the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the big hit judgment value corresponding to the current probability state match. The determination of whether or not to win the big hit may be made by whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the big hit judgment value exceeds a predetermined value.

In the present embodiment, when the falling lottery is won in the case of starting the special game this time, the big hit lottery in the low probability state is performed from the big hit lottery of the current special game, but not limited to this, for example, The big hit lottery in the low probability state may be performed from the big hit lottery of the next special game.

When winning the jackpot, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol derived in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a determines a big hit symbol derived in the first special game and a variation pattern of the first special game by lottery using the read random number information for the first special game. When the big hit symbol derived in the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the decided big hit symbol in the output buffer. When the variation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can specify the determined variation pattern and provides information (hereinafter, referred to as a game start command) for instructing the start of the effect game based on the variation pattern. Set to output buffer. After setting the symbol command and the first game start command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that determines the big hit symbol (type of big hit) corresponds to the big hit type determining means.

On the other hand, in the case of a win that does not win the jackpot, the main control CPU 40a determines the miss symbol derived in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. For example, the main control CPU 40a determines the outlier symbol derived in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game by lottery using the read random number information for the first special game. When the outlier symbol derived in the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the determined outfall symbol in the output buffer. When the variation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can specify the determined variation pattern and sets a game start command based on the variation pattern in the output buffer. After setting the symbol command and the first game start command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 40a performs the same control as the above-described control when starting the first special game. That is, the main control CPU40a, the determination of the jackpot pattern or the out-of-match symbol based on the result of the subtraction of the second special holding number, the falling lottery, the big hit lottery (big hit judgment), the big hit lottery (big hit judgment), and the big hit lottery (big hit judgment) The variation pattern is determined based on the result, and the symbol command and the game start command are set. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

Then, when the special symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 40a executes a special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the variation time set in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is derived when the variation time set in the variation pattern elapses. Further, the main control CPU40a, when the variation time set in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has passed, the instruction to stop the variation of the effect symbol, information for deriving a symbol combination by the effect symbol (hereinafter, game (Shown as the end command) in the output buffer.

In this way, the main control CPU 40a can control the first special game and the second special game. In particular, the main control CPU 40a can perform a jackpot lottery for the first special game in response to the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 28, and in response to the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 29. A big hit lottery for the second special game can be performed.

Next, the big hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the big hit process, the main control CPU 40a performs a control to give a big hit game based on the big hit symbol (type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. That is, the main control CPU 40a gives a big hit game by executing a big hit process.

When the special game of the big hit ends, the main control CPU 40a first sets information (hereinafter referred to as an opening command) capable of specifying the start of the opening time in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game when the opening time has elapsed. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 to start the round game so that the special winning opening 31 is opened based on the opening pattern determined by the big hit symbol (type of big hit). After starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 so that the special winning opening 31 is closed when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 40a repeats the processing for executing such a round game until the specified number of round games are completed.

In addition, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) capable of specifying the start of the round game in the output buffer each time the round game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter referred to as a round end command) capable of specifying the end of the round game in the output buffer each time the round game is ended.

In particular, the main control CPU 40a, among the plurality of round games, in the operation round game that operates the distribution member 38 from the second distribution state to the first distribution state, is set to a big hit symbol (type of big hit). The distribution actuator A3 is controlled based on the distribution control information, and the operation of the distribution member 38 is controlled.

Specifically, the main control CPU 40a counts the number of game balls that have entered the special winning opening 31 in the operation round game, based on the detection signal from the special winning sensor SE3. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a, based on the detection signal from the special winning sensor SE3, the number of game balls entered into the special winning opening 31 not only in the operating round game but also in the non-operating round game. Is being counted.

The main control CPU 40a refers to the distribution control information set in the big hit pattern (type of big hit), refers to the number of game balls entered into the special winning opening 31, and the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied. If it is determined that the number of balls entered is short, the start condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and the short distribution control is started. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs the short distribution control until the termination condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, and when the termination condition of the short distribution control is satisfied, moves the distribution member 38 from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. The minute distribution control is ended and the short distribution control is ended.

The main control CPU 40a refers to the distribution control information set in the big hit pattern (type of big hit), refers to the number of game balls entered into the special winning opening 31, and the start condition for the long distribution control is satisfied. If it is determined that it is the number of incoming balls, the start condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, and the long distribution control is started. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs the long distribution control until the termination condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, and when the termination condition of the long distribution control is satisfied, moves the distribution member 38 from the first distribution state to the second distribution state. It is operated in the minute state and the long distribution control is ended.

When the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a stores information indicating the passage of the game ball into the special passage area 36 in the main control RAM 40c. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the output buffer that can specify the passage of the game ball into the special passage area 36 (hereinafter referred to as a special passage command) Set to.

When the final round game ends, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game when the ending time has elapsed.

Next, a game state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a stores in the main control RAM 40c a value with which it is possible to specify that the high probability state should be controlled when the big hit game is finished. Set to the main probability state flag. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the gaming state so as to be in the high probability state until the falling lottery is won. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores a value in the main control RAM 40c that can specify that the high base state should be controlled when the big hit game is finished when the game ball passes through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game. Set to the main base state flag that is set. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the main control RAM 40c, the number of times (100 times in this embodiment) corresponding to the minimum guaranteed number of times the high base state is given, as the remaining number of special games to which the high base state is given. Let

Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the remaining number of times stored in the main control RAM 40c every time the special game is executed. When the remaining number of times is "0", the main control CPU 40a sets the remaining number of times to "0" when the main probability state flag stores a value with which it is possible to specify control to the low probability state. Along with the end of the special game, the main base state flag is set to a value with which it can be specified to control the low base state. That is, in the low probability state, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state with the end of the guaranteed number of special games. In the high-probability state, the main control CPU 40a continuously gives the high-base state without terminating the high-base state with the end of the guaranteed number of special games.

When the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the main control RAM 40c, a value capable of specifying control to a low probability state when the big hit game is finished. Set to the main probability state flag that has been set. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the game ball does not pass through the special passage area 36 during the big hit game, when the big hit game is finished, the main control RAM 40c can specify a value for controlling the high base state. Set to the main base state flag stored in. In this case, the main control CPU 40a grants the high base state in which the upper limit number is set, and therefore, the number of times corresponding to the upper limit number (100 times in the present embodiment) is the remaining number of the special game to which the high base state is assigned. Is stored in the main control RAM 40c.

Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the remaining number of times stored in the main control RAM 40c every time the special game is executed. When the remaining number of times is "0", the main control CPU 40a stores a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state in the main probability state flag, so the number of remaining times is "0". Along with the end of the special game, the main base state flag is set to a value with which it can be specified to control the low base state. That is, in the low probability state, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state with the end of the special game of the upper limit number of times.

When giving a big hit game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to a low probability state in the main probability state flag when starting the big hit game. In addition, when the big hit game is given, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to the low base state in the main base state flag when starting the big hit game.

In this way, the main control CPU 40a can give a high-probability state after the jackpot game is finished, and more specifically, in accordance with the passage of the game ball to the special passage area 36 in the jackpot game, the high-probability is obtained after the jackpot game. Add state. Further, the main control CPU 40a gives a high base state after the jackpot game is over. In this way, the main control CPU 40a for controlling the game state corresponds to the game state giving means.

The main control CPU 40a sets the low probability state command in the output buffer when the main probability state flag is set to a value that can specify the control to the low probability state. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control in the high probability state in the main probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a can identify information in the high probability state (hereinafter referred to as a high probability state command). ) In the output buffer.

The main control CPU 40a sets the low base state command in the output buffer when the main base state flag is set to a value that can specify the control to the low base state. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control in the high base state to the main base state flag, information that can specify the high base state (hereinafter referred to as a high base state command). ) In the output buffer.

Next, a normal symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. Normally the symbol input process is performed as an interrupt process.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 33 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 33, the main control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 33, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). To do. When the number of ordinary holdings is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the ordinary symbol input processing. When the number of ordinary reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of ordinary reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". As a result, the base game hold condition is satisfied. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so as to display the updated normal holding number.

Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the random number is a random number used for a winning lottery for a normal symbol, a random number used for determining a variation time of a normal game, or the like. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game so that the random number information can be specified in the storage order. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the normal game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. After that, the main control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol starting process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The normal symbol start process is performed as an interrupt process.
In the normal symbol start processing, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative judgment when the normal hit game is not being executed and is not being executed in the normal game, while making a negative judgment in the normal hit game or being in the normal game. When the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start processing.

On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is "1" or more. When the number of normally reserved is not equal to or more than "1" (when it is zero (0)), the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the number of ordinary reservations is "1" or more, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of ordinary reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting "1". In addition, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the updated normally reserved number is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game from the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first, the main control CPU 40a erases the random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a normal win, based on the read random number information and the normal win determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a normal symbol winning lottery (ordinary winning judgment).

When winning in a normal win, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal win symbol to be derived in the normal game and the variation time of the normal game. For example, when adopting the variation time shortening control of the normal symbol described above, the main control CPU 40a determines the first variation time in the low base state, and the second variation time shorter than the first variation time in the high base state. To decide. When determining the variation time of the normal game, the main control CPU 40a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal start command) capable of specifying the determined variation time in the output buffer. The normal start command may be information that can specify the result of the normal design hit lottery. After that, the main control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol start process.

When the normal win is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines an unusual pattern to be derived in the normal game and the variation time of the normal game. After determining the variation time of the normal game, the main control CPU 40a sets an ordinary start command capable of specifying the determined variation time in the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol start process.

Then, the main control CPU 40a executes the normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the normal game, and when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start processing elapses, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start processing is derived, and the information display device 22 is controlled.

Next, the normal hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal win is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 29 and controls the normal actuator A1 so that the second starting port 29 is opened based on the determined opening pattern. To do. For example, in the case of adopting the above-mentioned opening time extension control, the main control CPU 40a determines the first opening pattern in the low base state, and in the high base state, in the normal hit game once more than the first opening pattern. Normally, the second opening pattern is determined in which the total opening time of the variable member 30 is long.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, the effect game process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination to be derived in the effect game, based on the game start command and the symbol command. If the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a big hit symbol combination based on the effect symbol. If the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a detached symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination that is off due to the effect symbol.

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines an outlying symbol combination including reach (for example, "787") when the reach effect execution condition is satisfied and the reach effect is executed in the effect game. In the present embodiment, as the execution condition of the reach effect, it is defined that the out-of-range variation pattern with the reach effect is determined. As an execution condition of the reach effect, the sub-control CPU 41a may perform a predetermined reach lottery and win the reach lottery.

In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to variably display effect symbols in each row, triggered by the input of the game start command. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the effect game. The sub-control CPU 41a, when a predetermined timing comes after starting the effect game, temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination according to the decided effect symbol, and at the time of inputting the game end command, the symbol combination according to the decided effect symbol. To derive. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may measure a fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern, regardless of the game end command, and derive a symbol combination when the fluctuation time elapses. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

Next, the jackpot effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the opening effect is performed. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the round effect is performed when the round command is input. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the round end command, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the round effect. When the ending command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the ending effect is performed. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a will execute the opening effect, the round effect, and the ending effect as a big hit effect during the big hit game.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a may control at least one of the decoration lamp 17 and the speaker 18 in addition to the effect display device 27 so that various effects are performed.

Next, a game state process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the low-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low-probability state in the sub-probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. When the high-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high-probability state in the sub-probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can specify whether the current game state is the low-probability state or the high-probability state by referring to the sub-probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c.

When the low base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value capable of identifying the low base state in the sub base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. When the high control state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value capable of identifying the high control state in the sub control state flag stored in the control sub RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can specify whether the current game state is the low base state or the high base state by referring to the sub-base state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c.

Next, the fluctuation pattern will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 6, the variation pattern of the present embodiment is selected depending on whether or not a big hit is generated, and when the big hit is not performed, a shift reach effect is executed. Specifically, the fluctuation patterns HP14, HP18 to HP20 are defined as the big hit fluctuation pattern. The fluctuation patterns HP13 and HP17 are defined as the out-reach fluctuation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP11, HP12, HP15, HP16 are defined as the outlier fluctuation patterns.

In the present embodiment, the variation patterns HP11 to HP14 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the low base state, and the variation patterns HP15 to HP20 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the high base state. In particular, the variation patterns HP18 to HP20 that are a big hit in the high base state include a variation pattern HP18 that is selected when the big hit is based on the symbol Za, and a variation pattern HP19 that is selected when the big hit is based on the symbol Zb. , And a variation pattern HP20 that is selected when a big hit based on the symbols ZA to ZC.

Thus, depending on the type of variation pattern, it is possible to specify whether the state is a low base state or a high base state, and in some cases it is possible to specify the type of big hit. In other words, when a big hit occurs in a high base state, the conditions for determining the variation pattern differ depending on the type of big hit.

Further, the variation pattern HP12 that can be selected in the low base state is a variation pattern that shortens the variation time of the variation pattern HP11. The variation patterns selectable in the high base state include a variation pattern HP16 that further shortens the variation time of the variation pattern HP12 selectable in the low base state. For this reason, in the high base state, it is easier to determine the variation pattern in which the variation time is shorter than in the low base state.

In the present embodiment, the effect mode is controlled to be transferable after the completion of each jackpot game or the start of the special game. The effect mode corresponds to the type of the background image of the effect display device 27 in the special game, and can be specified by the player from the background image. The effect mode can be executed over a plurality of consecutive special games.

Next, the effect mode will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment has a plurality of types of effect modes. The plurality of kinds of effect modes are roughly classified into four kinds of effect modes MA, MB, MC, and MD.

The effect modes MA and MB are effect modes in the low base state, and the effect modes MC and MD are effect modes in the high base state. That is, the effect modes include effect modes MA and MB that can be controlled in the low base state, and effect modes MC and MD that can be controlled in the high base state. In addition, the production mode MD can stay both when the high-probability state is provided and when the high-probability state is not provided, while the production modes MA to MC are provided with the high-probability state. If not, you can stay.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the low base state, the player stays in one of the effect modes MA and MB. On the other hand, in the high base state, the player stays in one of the effect modes MC and MD. Then, when various kinds of big hits are won, after the big hit game based on the big hits, the production mode can be shifted with the start of the first special game.

When the big hit based on the symbol ZC in the low base state, after the big hit game is finished, it shifts to the production mode MC, and in other cases, in the production mode MD after the big hit game is finished. It is supposed to be migrated.

In addition, the big hit based on the symbol ZC is a big hit in which the game ball is difficult to pass through the special passage area 36, and a low-probability state is given after the end of the big hit game. In this way, the effect mode MC is an effect mode that is controlled when the high-probability state is not given after the end of the big-hit game when the big hit based on the symbol ZC is won in the low base state.

On the other hand, the big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb is a big hit that the game ball can pass through the special passage area 36, regardless of whether or not the game ball passes through the special passage area 36. The production mode MD is entered. In addition, when the player stays in the production mode MD, he or she may win the falling lottery and may change from the high probability state to the low probability state. From these, the effect mode MD is an effect mode in which a high-probability state may be given after the end of the big hit game when the big hit based on the symbol ZB is won in the low base state, and the end of the big hit game. It can be said that the production mode is controlled when a high-probability state is given later.

When the player stays in one of the production modes MC and MD in the high base state, when the application of the high base state ends, the production mode MB is entered. When the special game is played a predetermined number of times (4 times in the present embodiment) after shifting to the effect mode MB, the effect mode MA is changed in accordance with the next execution of the special game. In this embodiment, the effect mode MA does not shift to the effect mode MB. In this way, the effect mode MB is an effect mode to which the high base state shifts after the low base state.

Next, the control relating to the effect mode executed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the type of jackpot based on the symbol command in the special game that was won in the jackpot lottery. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the game state in the special game that is won in the big hit lottery, based on the sub-probability state flag and the sub-base state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Based on the identified result, the sub-control CPU 41a sets information indicating the effect mode to be transferred after the end of the big hit game in the effect mode flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The effect mode flag is a flag indicating the effect mode in which the player stays.

Next, when the game start command is input, the sub control CPU 41a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the sub control RAM 41c, and specifies the staying effect mode based on the value. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to display the background image corresponding to the specified effect mode.

In particular, when the base state changes from the high base state to the low base state, the sub control CPU 41a sets the information indicating the effect mode MB in the effect mode flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 to display the background image corresponding to the specified effect mode MB.

When the high base state is changed to the low base state, the sub control CPU 41a sets information indicating a predetermined number of stays in the stay number counter stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The stay number counter is a counter for counting the number of stays in the rendering mode MB. Then, the sub control CPU 41a subtracts "1" from the value of the stay count counter with the start of the special game, thereby specifying whether or not the special mode game has stayed for a predetermined number of stays in the effect mode MB.

When the sub-control CPU 41a identifies that the special mode game has stayed in the effect mode MB for the predetermined number of stays, the sub-control CPU 41a sets information indicating the effect mode MA in the effect mode flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 to display the background image corresponding to the specified effect mode MA.

In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that controls the effect mode corresponds to the mode control means. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect modes MA and MB are the first effect mode, the effect mode MC is the second effect mode and the first specific effect mode, and the effect mode MD is the third effect mode and the second effect mode. Corresponds to each.

In the present embodiment, one of a plurality of types of big hit effects is executed during the big hit game. In addition, depending on whether the special game won in the big hit lottery is the first special game or the second special game, the kind of big hit, and the different types of big hit performances depending on the effect mode stayed in the special game won in the big hit lottery. It may be executed.

As shown in FIG. 9, as the types of big hit effects, there are a first big hit effect OE1, a second big hit effect OE2, a third big hit effect OE3, and a fourth big hit effect OE4. These big hit productions OE1 to OE4 are productions having different production modes.

1st big hit production OE1 is the big hit production where the fixed production which decides the transition (control) to production mode MD is executed. The second big hit effect OE2 is a big hit effect in which a branch effect that suggests whether or not a high-probability state is achieved is executed. The third big hit effect OE3 is an effect executed with the effect contents corresponding to the type of the reach effect executed in the second special game that is won in the big hit lottery. The fourth big hit production OE4 is a production showing that the probability that the upper limit number of round games will be eight is high.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the player is in one of the effect modes MA and MB in the low-probability/low-base state and wins the big hit lottery of the first special game, and becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA. , 1st big hit production OE1 is executed. On the other hand, when the player stays in one of the production modes MA and MB in the low-probability low-base state and wins the jackpot lottery of the first special game, and becomes a jackpot based on the symbols ZB and ZC, The second big hit production OE2 is executed.

While staying in the production mode MC in the low accurate high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is achieved, the first big hit production OE1 is executed. On the other hand, when staying in the production mode MC in the low accurate high base state, if the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the fourth big hit production OE4 Is executed. If the big hit lottery of the first special game is won while staying in the effect mode MD in the high base state, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed regardless of the kind of the big hit.

Further, if the player wins the big hit lottery of the second special game while staying in one of the effect modes MA and MB in the low accurate low base state, the first big hit effect OE1 will be given regardless of the kind of the big hit. To be executed.

When the player stays in either the production mode MC or MD in the high base state and wins the big hit lottery of the second special game and becomes a big hit based on the symbol Za, the third big hit effect OE3 is executed. It On the other hand, when the player is staying in one of the production modes MC and MD in the high base state and wins the jackpot lottery in the second special game, and the jackpot is based on the symbols ZB and ZC, the fourth Big hit production OE4 is executed.

In this way, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is determined, the first big hit is controlled even in one of the effect modes MA to MD in the first special game. The effect OE1 is executed. In other words, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is determined, the time when the first special game is controlled to one of the effect modes MA and MB and the effect mode MC The big hit effect is executed in the same effect mode when it is controlled and when it is controlled to the effect mode MD.

Further, when the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined by winning the big hit lottery of the first special game, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed when the effect mode MC is controlled in the first special game. It On the other hand, when the effect mode MA or MB is controlled, the second big hit effect OE2 is executed, and when the effect mode MD is controlled, the fourth big hit effect OE4 is executed. In other words, when the jackpot lottery of the first special game is won and the jackpot based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined, when the one of the effect modes MA and MB is controlled in the first special game and the effect mode. The big-hit effect is executed in different effect modes even when controlled by MC and when controlled by effect mode MD.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the effect mode of the first big hit effect OE1 is the first effect mode and the first specific effect mode, the effect mode of the second big hit effect OE2 is the second effect mode, and the effect effect of the fourth big hit effect OE4. The aspect corresponds to the second specific effect aspect, respectively.

Next, the types of jackpot effects to be executed will be described by taking a specific situation as an example.
As shown in FIG. 11, when the first big hit (so-called “first hit”) has not been won yet, the player stays in one of the effect modes MA and MB in the low accurate low base state. In this case, since the game ball is difficult to enter the second starting port 29 in the low base state, the first special game is mainly executed when the game ball enters the first starting port 28. Becomes

In the low accurate low base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed, and the shift to the effect mode MD is confirmed ( A definitive effect (which can be specified) is executed, and after the jackpot game is over, the mode is shifted to the effect mode MD.

In particular, when the player stays in one of the production modes MA and MB in the low accurate low base state and wins the big hit lottery of the first special game and becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZA, the first big hit production OE1 Is executed, the effect mode MD is entered, and the sense of expectation from the low-probability state to the high-probability state can be enhanced. Further, when the player stays in one of the effect modes MA and MB in the low accurate low base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 By executing, it is possible to raise the expectation that the upper limit number of round games is 16 times.

On the other hand, in the low accuracy low base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the second big hit production OE2 is executed, and the big hit game ends. A branch effect is then executed to determine whether the high probability state will be reached later. Then, when it is a big hit based on the symbol ZB, it is possible to specify that there is a possibility that the high-probability state is given after the branching effect that is suggested whether or not the high-probability state is given is executed. Success production is executed, after the big hit game ends, it moves to production mode MD. On the other hand, when it becomes a big hit based on the symbol ZC, there is a failure effect that can specify that the high-probability state is not given after the branch effect that indicates whether or not the high-probability state is given is executed. It is executed, and after the big hit game is over, the mode is shifted to the effect mode MC.

In addition, when the player is in a high base state (so-called “long-sleeved play”) after winning the first big hit, the player stays in one of the effect modes MC and MD. In this case, in the high base state, since the game ball easily enters the second starting opening 29, the second special game is mainly executed when the game ball enters the second starting opening 29, When the execution of the two special games is not suspended, the suspended first special game is executed.

In the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Za is achieved, the third big hit effect OE3 is executed. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern HP18 is determined in the second special game that is a big hit based on the symbol Za, and any one of the plurality of reach productions is determined based on the variation pattern HP18. Is executed. Then, in the third jackpot effect OE3, the jackpot effect is executed in an effect mode corresponding to the reach effect executed in the second special game which is a jackpot based on the symbol Za.

In addition, the variation pattern HP18 is not determined in the first special game that is a big hit based on the symbols ZA to ZC and the second special game that is a big hit based on the symbols Zb. Further, the variation pattern HP18 is not determined even in the second special game in which the jackpot based on the symbol Za is made in the low base state. Therefore, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won in the high base state and the big hit based on the symbol Za is achieved, the third big hit effect OE3 is produced in an effect mode corresponding to the reach effect executed based on the variation pattern HP18. However, in the other cases, the third big hit effect OE3 itself is not executed.

Further, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed. Further, when the player stays in the effect mode MC in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed. In this way, the first big hit production OE1 is executed to execute a (definable) definite production in which the transition to the production mode MD is confirmed, and the production mode MD is transitioned after the big hit game ends. ..

In particular, when the player stays in the effect mode MC in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed. As a result, the production mode MD is entered, and the sense of expectation from the low-probability state to the high-probability state can be increased. Further, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol ZA is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed, and the upper limit number of round games is expected to be 16 times. The feeling can be raised.

Further, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved, the fourth big hit effect OE4 is executed. Further, when the player stays in the effect mode MD in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the fourth big hit effect OE4 is executed. That is, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved, the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the production mode MD and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC. As in the case of, the fourth big hit effect OE4 is executed.

In the present embodiment, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved, the eighth round-to-round interval time is defined as 7 s. In the interval time between rounds, the promotion effect that can specify that the upper limit number of round games is 16 is executed. On the other hand, in the high base state, when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the effect mode MD and the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is achieved, the promotion effect is not executed.

In this way, by executing the fourth big hit production OE4, it is possible to specify that the upper limit number of round games is 8 with a high probability, but when the promotion production is executed, the round is performed. It becomes possible to specify that the upper limit number of games is 16.

Further, when the base state is changed from the high base state to the low base state (so-called “end of the condominium”), only the special game of a predetermined number of stays stays in the effect mode MB in the low certainty low base state. In this case, it is possible that the execution of the second special game is suspended in the high base state, and the suspended second special game is mainly executed.

In the low accurate low base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed, and the shift to the effect mode MD is confirmed. The specified production that does (identifiable) is executed, and after the big hit game ends, the production mode MD is entered.

In particular, even when the high base state is changed to the low base state, when the big hit based on the symbols Za and Zb is achieved, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed to shift to the effect mode MD. , It is possible to raise the expectation from a low probability state to a high probability state. Further, even when the high base state is changed to the low base state, when the big hit based on the symbols Za, Zb, the first big hit effect OE1 is executed, and the upper limit number of round games is 16 times. It is possible to raise expectations and expectations.

In the low accurate low base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved, the eighth round interval time is defined as 2s, and the upper limit number of round games is set. Does not mean that the promotion effect that can be specified to be 16 times is executed. For this reason, in the low accurate low base state, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won and the big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved, the fourth big hit effect OE4 is not executed but the first big hit effect OE1 is executed. The Rukoto.

Next, specific control contents regarding execution of the big hit production will be described.
When the game start command and the symbol command are input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines any effect pattern from a plurality of kinds of effect patterns. In particular, in the high base state, when a game start command designating the variation pattern HP18 and a symbol command that is a big hit based on the symbol Za are input, the sub-control CPU 41a reaches one of a plurality of types of reach effects. The effect pattern is determined so that the effect is executed. Then, the sub control CPU 41a causes the sub control RAM 41c to store information capable of specifying the type of reach effect. As a result, the sub-control CPU 41a can specify the type of reach effect executed in the special game that is a big hit based on the symbol Za.

Upon the input of the opening command, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the type of jackpot based on the symbol command. The sub-control CPU 41a identifies the game state when the big hit is hit, based on the sub-probability state flag and the sub-base state flag. The sub-control CPU 41a identifies the effect mode when the big hit is hit, based on the effect mode flag. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of big hit effect corresponding to the specified result, and stores information capable of specifying the type of big hit effect in the sub-control RAM 41c. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the type of big hit, the game state and the effect mode in the special game that is won in the big hit lottery, and determines the kind of big hit effect. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that determines the type (effect mode) of the big hit effect corresponds to the big hit effect determination means.

Then, triggered by the input of the opening command, the round command, the round end command, and the ending command, the sub control CPU 41a will execute the jackpot effect of the determined type.

More specifically, when the first big hit effect OE1 is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the first big hit effect OE1 including a finalized effect in which the transition to the effect mode MD is confirmed. When the second big hit effect OE2 is determined, the sub control CPU 41a causes the second big hit effect OE2 including a branch effect, a success effect, a failure effect, and the like to be executed. When the third big hit production OE3 is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the type of the reach production executed in the second special game that is a big hit, and the third big hit production in the production mode corresponding to the type of the reach production. Execute OE3. When it is a big hit based on the symbol Zb in the high base state and the fourth big hit effect OE4 is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the fourth big hit effect OE4 including the promotion effect in the eighth inter-round interval time to be executed. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes an effect such as a big hit effect corresponds to effect control means.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the big hit lottery of the first special game is won, depending on whether the big hit based on the symbol ZA or the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined, the effect mode MA or MB is controlled. It is possible to change whether the big hit effect is executed in the same effect mode or whether the big hit effect is executed in a different effect mode while being controlled by the MC. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, the kind of big hit, the type of controlled effect mode, and the big hit production are made possible while giving a variety of effect modes of the big hit effect. It is possible to pay attention to the effect mode of (1) and improve the interest in the game.

(2) In particular, the effect modes MA and MB are effect modes that can be controlled in the low base state, and the effect modes MC are effect modes that can be controlled in the high base state. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, the kind of big hit, whether it is in the high base state or the low base state, the type of the effect mode being controlled, and the big hit effect It is possible to pay attention to the effect mode of (1) and improve the interest in the game.

(3) When the production modes MA and MB are controlled in the low base state and when the production mode MC is controlled in the low probability state in which the high probability state is not given, but the high probability state is controlled. Similarly, even when the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined, the big hit effect is executed in a different effect mode. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, attention can be paid to the degree of advantage of the controlled effect mode, and interest in the game can be improved.

(4) When the big hit lottery of the first special game is won, depending on whether the big hit based on the symbol ZA or the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined, the control is performed in the effect mode MC or the effect mode MD. Depending on the control, it is possible to change whether the big hit effect is executed in the same effect mode or whether the big hit effect is executed in a different effect mode. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, the kind of big hit, the type of controlled effect mode, and the big hit production are made possible while giving a variety of effect modes of the big hit effect. It is possible to pay attention to the effect mode of (1) and improve the interest in the game.

(5) In particular, the effect modes MC and MC are effect modes that can be controlled in the high base state. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, and even when the high base state is similarly given, the big hit performance has a variety of effect modes. At the same time, it is possible to pay attention to the type of big hit, the type of controlled effect mode, and the effect mode of the big hit effect, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

(6) When the production mode MC is controlled in the low-probability state in which the high-probability state is set but the high-probability state is not assigned, and when the production mode MD is in the high-base state and the high-probability state is possible Even when the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is determined in the same manner as when controlled, the big hit effect is executed in a different effect mode. For this reason, even when the big hit lottery of the first special game is won in the same manner, attention can be paid to the degree of advantage of the controlled effect mode, and interest in the game can be improved.

(7) The big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC is a big hit that is less likely to be given a high probability state after the end of the big hit game than the big hit based on the symbol ZA. For this reason, even if a big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC with a lower probability of being given a higher probability state than the big hit based on the symbol ZA is determined, the advantage degree of the big hit can be noted, and the game can be played. The interest in can be improved.

The above embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the production mode stayed in the special game that was a big hit is different, the type of big hit production is made different, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when a special game that is a big hit The type of jackpot effect may be determined regardless of the effect mode used. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 12, when a big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC in the high base state, the fourth big hit effect OE4 regardless of whether the player stays in the effect mode MC or MD. May be performed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, when a big hit occurs in the high base state, the same kind of big hit effect is executed regardless of whether the player stays in the effect mode MC or MD.

In the above embodiment, when the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC while staying in the effect mode MC in the high base state, the fourth big hit is the same as when the big hit based on the symbol Zb. The effect OE4 has been executed, but not limited to this. For example, when a big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC while staying in the effect mode MC in a high base state, a different kind of big hit effect may be executed than when a big hit based on the symbol Zb is achieved. .. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the big hit based on the symbols ZB and ZC while staying in the effect mode MC in the high base state, it is a big hit based on the symbol Zb. Unlike the case, the 5th big hit production may be performed.

In the above-described embodiment, for example, when the big hit lottery of the second special game is won, the kind of big hit performance is based on the type of big hit and the effect mode in which the special game won in the big hit lottery stays. Although decided, it is not limited to this. For example, the type of jackpot production may not be determined based on the type of jackpot. For example, the type of jackpot production may not be determined based on the presentation mode in which a special game won in the jackpot lottery was staying. Good.

In the above embodiment, the big hit performance of the same type is executed in the same effect mode, and the big hit effect is executed in different effect modes of the different types of big hit effects, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if different types of big hit performances perform different big hit performances, even the same kind of big hit performances may perform different big hit performances.

In the above-described embodiment, the number of stays in the effect mode MB is set to four, but the number of stays is not limited to this, and may be a predetermined number of times such as one to three times and five or more times. The stay in the effect mode MB may be ended by a lottery for determining the shift of.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, when it is in the low accuracy low base state, it was made to stay in either of production modes MA and MB, but not limited to this, for example, there is no production mode MB, and it is made to stay in production mode MA. Alternatively, for example, the production mode MA, MB may be made to stay in a different production mode.

In the above embodiment, one round game is adopted as the operating round game, but not limited to this, for example, a plurality of round games such as the fourth, sixth and eighth games are adopted as the operating round game. Good.

In the above-described embodiment, the high probability state is given after the big hit game ends in response to the game ball passing through the special passage area 36, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, depending on the fact that two or more game balls have passed through the special passage area 36, a high probability state may be given after the jackpot game is over, and whether or not the game balls pass through the special passage area 36. Regardless, the high-probability state may be given after the jackpot game is over.

In the above embodiment, for example, the normal passage area 37 may be provided with sensors that detect passage of the game ball.
In the above embodiment, the variation pattern HP18 is determined when a big hit based on the symbol Za is obtained in the high base state, and in other cases, the variation pattern HP18 is not determined, but is not limited thereto. .. For example, when the big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, the variation pattern HP18 may not be determined, and in other cases, the variation pattern HP18 may be determined. In this case, for example, in the case of a big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state, the variation pattern HP18 may be determined with a much higher probability than in other cases. That is, the determination condition of the variation pattern may be different depending on whether the big hit based on the symbol Za in the high base state or not.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, the falling lottery may not be performed. Further, for example, the high-probability state may be given until the next big hit game is given, or, for example, the high-probability state may be given until a predetermined number of special games are executed.

In the above embodiment, the distribution control of the distribution member 38 is performed based on the type of big hit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not a high probability state is given based on the type of big hit, for example. May be determined directly.

In the above embodiment, for example, a small win lottery may be performed separately from the big win lottery.
-In the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, there may be a type of big hit that becomes a low base state after the end of the big hit game.

In the above embodiment, the second special game is preferentially executed over the first special game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first special game may be preferentially executed over the second special game. .. Further, for example, the game balls may be executed in the order in which the game balls enter the first starting opening 28 and the second starting opening 29, for example, even if the first special game and the second special game can be executed simultaneously. Good.

In the above-described embodiment, the main control board 40 and the sub-control board 41 are arranged and various functions are mounted. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the function of one board is mounted as the function of the other board. May be. Moreover, the means for controlling the effect display device 27 may be separately provided. Further, the present invention is not limited to such two types of substrates, but may be configured as an integrated substrate or may be configured as three or more types of substrates. As a specific example, the functions of the sub-control board 41 may be divided into an integrated control board that performs overall control of production and a display control board that performs control of image display.

In the above embodiment, the type of big hit (big hit game) is specified by the symbol command, but the kind of big hit may be specified by a game start command or other dedicated control command.

In the above embodiment, various random number information related to the special game may be stored in the storage area provided according to the special reserved number. In this case, each time the special game is executed, the random number information may be shifted and stored in the storage area in which the special reserved number is decremented by "1".

In the above-described embodiment, for example, the special variable member 32 operates in an open state by a predetermined lottery, and the big hit game is given when the game ball entering the special winning opening 31 passes through the specific passage area. (So-called “two types of gaming machines”) may be used. Further, for example, it may be a gaming machine in which the special variable member 32 operates in an open state by winning a big hit lottery in a special game (a so-called “one-two mixed gaming machine”). Further, it may be a gaming machine (so-called three types of gaming machines) in which a big hit game is started when a game ball enters a predetermined entrance. Further, for example, the high probability state may not be given.
