Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a gaming state after a jackpot is set based on whether or not a gaming ball has entered a specific area provided inside a special winning opening.

Conventionally, in a pachinko machine that is a gaming machine, based on a random number value extracted due to a ball entering the starting opening, it is determined whether or not a jackpot game is caused, and if the determination is a jackpot. In many cases, the game state after the jackpot game is determined in the hit/miss determination process (for example, whether or not a high-probability state with a high probability of being a jackpot after the jackpot game is given is determined).

However, in this kind of pachinko machine, whether or not to give a high probability state is already decided before the big hit game, so the reward of the game balls during the big hit game is not interesting, and only a large amount of prize balls are obtained. It was just a work for me, and it was lacking in interest.

Therefore, a specific area is provided in the special winning opening that is opened during the big hit game, and it is judged based on the random number value whether or not the big hit game is caused. However, regarding the game state after the big hit game, the big hit game There has been proposed a game machine that determines whether or not a high probability state is given depending on whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area (Patent Document 1).

According to the configuration of Patent Document 1, it is possible to give an interesting effect to the outcome of the game ball during the big hit game and to increase the interest during the big hit game.

With shake component means comprises a second operation detection number of the detecting means to operate the first operation and which operates to become 1, and the number of said detectable is the number of one less than the maximum winning number in two or more ,
Arrangement of the detection means and the distribution means, such that the first operation or the second operation is performed by the time the gaming ball detected by the detection means reaches the distribution means,
The first motion is a motion that changes to a first state in which it is possible to enter the specific area with a low probability in comparison,
The second operation is an operation of changing to a second state in which it is possible to enter the specific area with high probability as compared with the second state during the first state,
The big hit game includes a first big hit game in which only the first action is designated according to the kind of the big hit symbol, and a second big hit game in which the first action and the second action are designated. It is a ball game machine characterized by.

When a big hit game occurs by the hit/miss determination means, the game state after the big hit game is determined by whether or not a game ball enters a specific area provided in the special winning opening that operates during the big hit game. Therefore, by the end of the big hit game, the game state after the end of the big hit game is determined. Further, the game state after the big hit game is determined from the start to the end of the big hit game, but the decided game state may be set at the end of the big hit game.

When a game ball that enters the special winning opening during the big hit game and is distributed by the allocating means enters a specific area, the gaming state after the big hit game becomes a high probability state, but during the big hit game If the ball does not enter the specific area (is distributed to another area), the game state after the big hit game is the normal probability state. In this case, the game state after the big hit game is normal based on the fact that the game ball has not entered the specific area by the time the big winning game is closed (or within the effective time after closing) You may decide on a game state.

The number of special winning openings is not limited to one, and a special winning opening having no specific area may be provided separately. At that time, it is desirable to have a configuration in which which special winning opening is to be operated according to the big hit round.

A configuration in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entry of a game ball into the starting opening is preferable, and in addition to the random number for determining whether or not to cause a big hit (big hit) determination random number, the big hit Any random number can be used as long as it is a random number used to determine the type of symbol according to the lottery result of the determination random number and the variable display time until the symbol is derived and displayed. The random number for reach determination and the random number for fluctuation pattern determination may be used, and a random number to be used and a random number not to be used may be configured according to the result of the judgment. Further, the extraction time of the random number value relating to the symbol variation is not limited to the time of entering the game ball into the starting port, and may be the time of the hit determination performed at the time of the variation of the symbol.

The game ball that has entered the special winning opening is configured to roll toward the sorting means after being detected by the detecting means that detects the number of winnings in the special winning opening. The first operation may be an operation of changing from the second state to the first state, or may be an operation of changing from another state to the first state. Further, a big hit game in which only the second motion is designated may be provided, and in this case, the designation may be made not in the second motion but in the second state which is the motion result. The first jackpot game and the second jackpot game may be the same or different in the number of times of operation of the special winning opening, or may be different, and only the operation content of the sorting means may be different.

"Distribution means that changes the number of the other areas that can be sorted by variability" means that the number of other areas that is lost (does not enter a specific area) is determined by the game ball entering. The number of game balls entered into the distribution device changes according to the change in the number. Therefore, if the entry of the game ball into all other areas is blocked by the variable, the entry rate of the game ball entering the distribution device to the specific area is 1/1, and all other areas If it is possible to enter the area, the ball entry rate to the specific area may be 1/(1+the number of all other areas). Further, the individual ball entrance rates of the specific area and all other areas may not be uniform. The first state is a state where entry into a specific area and a predetermined number of other areas is possible, and the second state is a state where entry into a specific area and a predetermined number of other areas is possible as well. The number of other possible regions is smaller than that in the first state. Further, both the first big hit game and the second big hit game are provided with a plurality of kinds of respective big hit symbols, and the number of other areas that can be entered after the first operation or the second operation is changed according to the kind of big hit symbol. You may let me.

"Also, in the first state, it may be configured to prevent entry into a specific area so that there is no possibility of entering the ball. In this case, it is possible to ensure that the first jackpot game does not have a high probability. It is possible to provide the game play and the effect of how to generate the second big hit game.It is possible to use a rotating body provided with a plurality of ball entrances or a clune as the distributing means. In the case of a body, in addition to blocking the ball entrance, the ball entrance rate can be adjusted by the rotation direction, rotation speed, etc. In the case of a clune, it is possible to block the ball entrance.

The jackpot pattern displayed on the symbol display device may be displayed in a manner in which it is difficult for the player to determine the type, and in that case, the type of the pseudo jackpot symbol displayed on the effect display device and the first jackpot game and the second. The big hit game may be a non-relevant structure (a structure in which it is impossible to determine the first big hit game or the second big hit game depending on the type of the pseudo big hit symbol).

According to the ball-playing machine according to claim 1, the distribution means is operated based on the number of balls entered into the special winning opening to manage the number of balls entered into a specific area (ball-entering rate). In addition to being able to, the first state that is changed by the first detection number and is unfavorable to the player is advanced to the second state which is advantageous to the player when the second detection number is reached by advancing the game of entering the special winning opening. By changing to, it is possible to proceed with the expectation that any jackpot game will change from a disadvantageous state to an advantageous state by increasing the number of balls entering the special winning opening during the round game.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications within the technical scope of the present invention can be adopted, and the contents described in each embodiment are appropriately combined. It goes without saying that it is possible.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the game board 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 has a substantially circular game area surrounded by known guide rails 2a and 2b, and a first game area 3a and a first game area 3a with a center case 5 arranged substantially in the center as a boundary. It is divided into two game areas 3b, the left side of the center case 5 is the first game area 3a, the right side is the second game area 3b, and the game balls that have reached the section A shown in the figure are the second game area guides. The road 101 rolls, reaches the second game area 3b (right side of the center case 5), and the game balls that do not reach A flow down the first game area 3a (left side of the center case 5). A large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b.

The center case 5 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp passage, a stage, a window that faces the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the like, as in the known case. A first starting port 11 (corresponding to the starting port of the present invention) is arranged under the center case 5, and three general winning openings 31 are provided on the left side of the first starting port 11. The general winning opening 31 is a normal winning opening in which the winning rate does not change.

In the second game area 3b on the right of the center case 5, a normal symbol actuation gate 17 is arranged, and at the lower left thereof, the first big winning opening 14 which is integrated with the right side surface of the center case 5 to open and close one blade. is set up. Below the first special winning opening 14, an ordinary electric accessory 16 for opening and closing a door member is arranged, and when the ordinary electric accessory 16 is activated, the second starting opening 12 (corresponding to the starting opening of the present invention) is opened. It is possible to enter a game ball.

At the lower left of the second starting opening 12 (right of the first starting opening 11), a sorting device 92 (corresponding to the sorting means of the invention) having a specific area 94 (corresponding to the specific area of the invention) is provided. The second special winning opening 91 (corresponding to a special winning opening provided with a specific area inside the present invention) is provided. The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. The first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 91 operate in a predetermined round based on the kind of big hit game set according to the kind of big hit symbol. Details will be described later with reference to FIGS.

The first starting port 11 has a configuration in which a game ball flowing down the second game area 3b is difficult to enter due to the molded shape of the implanted game nail and the center case 5. As a result, the first starting port 11 can enter only the game balls that have flowed down substantially in the first game area 3a. Moreover, about the normal symbol operation gate 17, the first big winning opening 14, the second starting opening 12, and the second big winning opening 91, only the game balls flowing down the second game area 3b can enter the ball for the same reason. Has become.

In the lower part of the second game area 3b, a normal symbol display device 7 composed of a plurality of LEDs, a normal symbol reservation number display device 8, and a first special symbol display device 9 composed of a 7-segment display device (the symbol display of the present invention (Corresponding to the device), the second special symbol display device 10 (corresponding to the symbol display device of the present invention), a first special symbol reservation number display device 18, a second special symbol reservation number display device 19 consisting of a plurality of LEDs Are arranged. It becomes difficult for the player to reliably recognize the display contents of the various display devices arranged at this position, and the player who is playing the game pays attention to the display contents of the effect symbol display device 6 arranged in the center of the game board. Will be done.

By configuring the game board 1 as described above, the game balls flow down the first game area 3a and enter the first starting port 11 (the first starting port switch 11a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball). Then, in the first special symbol display device 9, the first special symbol (hereinafter, also referred to as the first special symbol) starts changing, and stops after a predetermined time.

When the game ball is allowed to flow down to the second game area 3b and the ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 17 (the normal symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball), the normal symbol display device 7 normally symbol (hereinafter, (Also referred to as a drawing) starts variable display, and drives a normal electric role solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) described later in accordance with a mode of a normal figure that has stopped after a predetermined time. When the normal electric part solenoid 12b is driven, the door part of the normal electric accessory 16 is opened almost in synchronization, and the ball enters the second starting port 12 (detection of the second starting port switch 12a (see FIG. 3)). Is configured to be possible. When the game ball enters the second starting opening 12, the second special symbol (hereinafter, also referred to as the second special symbol) starts variable display in the second special symbol display device 10, and stops after a predetermined time.

During the change of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the effect symbol display device 6 displays an effect mode linked to the change of each special symbol (hereinafter, also referred to as a special symbol). In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not change at the same time, and regardless of the order in which the balls enter the first starting opening and the second starting opening, the variation of the second special symbol (whether winning or not) is prioritized. To implement. Specifically, if there is a reserved storage of the first special symbol, the fluctuation of the second special symbol is stopped, and there is no second special symbol reserved memory, the fluctuation of the first special symbol reserved memory To start.

The first special winning opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 3) and the second special winning opening solenoid 91b (see FIG. 3), which will be described later, are driven according to the confirmed display mode of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. When the first special winning opening solenoid 14b is driven, the one-wing member of the first special winning opening 14 is opened almost in synchronization, and the game ball enters the first special winning opening 14 (the first count switch 14a (Fig. 3)) can detect the game ball) and the second special winning opening solenoid 91b is driven, the door member of the second special winning opening 91 is opened almost in synchronization, and the game to the second special winning opening 91 is played. It is configured such that the ball can enter (the second count switch 91a (see FIG. 3) can detect the game ball (corresponding to the detecting means of the present invention)).

The normal symbol operation gate 17, the second starting opening 12 consisting of the normal electric accessory 16, the first big winning opening 14, and the second big winning opening 91 are arranged in the second game area 3b (right side of the center case 5). Therefore, when the game state shifts to an open extension (time saving) state, which will be described later, when it shifts to a big hit game, when it shifts to a small hit game, all of the shot game balls have reached the second game area 3b. I will adjust the firing handle so that.

Next, the distribution device 92 including the specific area 94 will be described with reference to FIG. A warp outlet 92a is provided on the upper inside of the sorting device 92, and the game ball that has entered the second special winning opening 91 is detected by the second count switch 91a (corresponding to the detecting means of the present invention).

A detection signal from a specific area switch 94a or the like for detecting a ball is input, and a glass frame opening switch 35 for detecting whether or not the front frame (glass frame) and the inner frame are closed via the back wiring relay terminal plate 75. The detection signal of the inner frame opening switch 36 is input.

The main controller 80 operates according to the installed program, generates various commands relating to the progress of the game based on the above-mentioned detection signals, and outputs them to the payout controller 81 and the sub integrated controller 83. Further, the main controller 80, the display of the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10 and the normal symbol display device 7, which are connected via the symbol display device relay terminal board 90, the first special symbol hold The number display device 18, the second special symbol reservation number display device 19, the normal symbol reservation number display device 8 is controlled to light.

Further, the main controller 80 controls the opening and closing of the first special winning opening solenoid 14b by controlling the first special winning opening solenoid 14b, and the second special winning opening 91 by controlling the second special winning opening solenoid 91b. By controlling the opening and closing of the normal electric accessory solenoid (indicated as a universal electric accessory solenoid in FIG. 3) 12b to control the opening and closing of the normal electric accessory 16 and the distribution blade solenoid 93b. The opening/closing of the distribution blade 93 in the distribution device 92 is controlled. The output signal from the main controller 80 is also output to the test signal terminal, and a signal for management such as symbol fluctuation and big hit (also called special game) is output to the external connection terminal 78 and sent to the hall computer 87. ..

Two-way communication is performed between the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 controls the payout motor 20 according to a command sent from the main control device 80 to pay out a prize ball. In this embodiment, the detection signal of the payout switch 21 for counting the game balls to be paid out as the prize balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 counts the prize balls. In addition to this, it is also possible to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout switch 21 is input to the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81, and both the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 count prize balls.

The payout control device 81 receives signals from the glass frame opening switch 35, the inner frame opening switch 36, the full switch 22 and the out-of-bulb switch 23, and the full switch 22 indicates that the lower plate 63 is full. When is input and when a signal indicating that there are few or no game balls in the ball tank is input by the ball break switch 23, the payout motor 20 is stopped and the prize ball payout operation is stopped. The full switch 22 and the out-of-ball switch 23 are also configured to continue outputting signals until the state is cleared, and the payout control device 81 causes the payout motor 20 to stop due to the fact that the signals are not output. Drive is restarted.

Next, the operation contents of the pachinko machine will be described using the chart shown in FIG. The pachinko machine in the present embodiment is configured as a stochastic machine, and whether or not the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12 is a normal probability state (low probability) and the normal probability state. It is carried out in one of the gaming states, which is a high-probability state in which the probability of being a big hit is higher than that in. In this embodiment, the probability of success/failure determination in the normal probability state is set to 1/320, and the high probability state is set to 1/80. The transition to the high probability state after the big hit game is executed based on whether or not a game ball enters the specific area 94 during the big hit game.

When the game ball enters the specific area 94 during the big hit game, a high probability state (also referred to as a probability variation state) is set after the big hit game is finished, but this high probability state continues until the special figure changes 130 times. In addition, after all the big hit games are finished, the transition time between the special figure and the general figure (the time from the start of variation until the result is displayed) is shortened, and the normal electric accessory 16 is opened and extended. However, when the special figure fluctuates 100 times, the time saving (open extension state) ends. Therefore, the pachinko machine of this embodiment is a so-called ST type game machine.

In the time saving state (open extension state), the variation time of the special map is shortened, so that the number of hit/miss judgments per unit time is increased, and the variation time of the general symbol displayed on the normal symbol display device 7 is also shortened. This is done, and by shortening the variation time of the general map, the fixed display of the general map is displayed more times than in the normal open state within a fixed time. Therefore, the number of hits of the universal figure within a certain time increases, and the number of hitting operations of the ordinary electric accessory 16 also increases accordingly.

In addition, in the extended extension state, the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors product 16 is longer than that in the normally opened state, so that it is easier to enter the ball when the ordinary electric auditors product 16 is activated in response to a single universal drawing than in the normally opened state. (Normally 0.2 seconds once in open state, 1.0 seconds 3 times in extended extension state). By facilitating entry into the ordinary electric accessory 16 in this way, the number of times of the variable display of the special figure is further increased, and the prize ball obtained by entering the ordinary electric accessory 16 is It becomes difficult to reduce the number of balls, and the player can play an advantageous game.

When the special figure is a big hit, both the first special figure and the second special figure have a big hit game of 4 rounds (more specifically, 9 counts or 4 opening operations for 29.0 seconds) and a big hit game of 15 rounds. According to the kind of the big hit symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the 1 special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, each is performed at a rate of 50%. The combination of the operation of the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 91 in this case and the operation content of the distribution device 92 when the second special winning opening 91 is operated will be described later with reference to FIGS. To do.

In addition, both the 1st special map and the 2nd special map are equipped with a small hit. Both special maps have a small hit probability of 1/150, and if you win the small hit, the first big winning opening 14 opens for 2.0 seconds. Once.

There is also a normal probability and a high probability in the winning probability of a normal symbol, the normal probability is 1/6, the high probability is 5/6, but the high probability state of a general symbol is the extension of the normal electric accessory 16 (shortening the time). ) The state and the transition trigger (including the termination trigger) are the same.

Next, the relationship between the types of big hit symbols and the contents of the big hit game will be described using the charts shown in FIGS. There are a first big hit game (corresponding to the first big hit game of the present invention) and a second big hit game (corresponding to the first big hit game of the present invention) in the types of the big hit game of this embodiment. The first jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the above-described sorting device 92 performs only the first operation, and the second jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the second operation is performed during the first state in which the first operation is performed. ..

The first operation and the second operation are performed according to the number of detections of the second count switch 91a, and when the number of detections becomes 1 in the first and second jackpot games (after the start of the round in which the second special winning opening 91 operates). , When one game ball is won in the second big winning opening 91, the sorting device 92 carries out the first operation, and when the number of detections becomes 2 in the second big winning game (the second big winning opening 91 is operated in a round After the start, when two game balls are won in the second special winning opening 91), the sorting device 92 executes the second operation.

In the big hit symbols of the first special figure (see FIG. 5) and the second special figure (see FIG. 6), both 4 round symbols (performing 4 round big jackpot game) from 1 to 4, 15 round symbols (15 There are 1 to 4 round jackpot games), and each of the 1st and 2nd special drawings has 8 kinds of big hit symbols. In all the big hit games corresponding to the eight kinds of big hit symbols, the second big winning opening 91 performs the opening operation in the second round and the fourth round, and the first big winning opening 14 performs the opening operation in the other rounds.

In the 4th round symbol and the 15th round symbol of the first special figure, 1 and 4 are the first big hit game, respectively, and the sorting device 92 during the big hit game only performs the first operation according to the count number. The 2nd big hit game of the 1st special figure becomes both 2 and 3 with the 4 round design and the 5 round design, distribution device 92 during the big hit game 2nd action after execution of 1st action according to the count number Do up to.

In addition, in each of the second jackpot games, the round in which the second operation is performed is set to either one of 2 rounds and 4 rounds, 2 rounds in the 4 round symbol 2 and 4 rounds in the 4 round symbol 3, 15 The round design 2 is set to 4 rounds, and the 15 round design 3 is set to 2 rounds.

Therefore, in the case of the first special symbol, 2 and 3 are both big hit symbols advantageous to the player in the 4 round symbol and the 15 round symbol, but the big hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 is It is difficult to determine the type of the big hit symbol from the display mode, and there is no relation between the big hit symbol of the pseudo symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 and the big hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9. Therefore, when the first special figure (also the second special figure) is a big hit, it is difficult for the player to determine whether it is the first big hit game or the second big hit game. Has become. With this configuration, the player performs the first operation and the second operation in order according to the number of balls entered into the second special winning opening 91 at the time when all the big hit games of the first special figure are started and specified. The game can be advanced with the expectation that the ball can easily enter the area 94.

When the second special figure is a big hit, all big hits are the second big hit game as shown in the chart of FIG. 6, and the round for performing the second action is the same as the second big hit game of the first special figure. It is set to either 2 rounds or 4 rounds.

Next, the main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hard interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S75 is referred to as "main process", and the process of S80 that is repeatedly executed within the time left after executing this main process is permitted as long as time permits. Residual processing". The "main processing" will be periodically executed by the interrupt.

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

S10 is negative determination, that is, if it is determined that it is not a normal interrupt (S10: no), initial setting (for example, write a predetermined value in a predetermined area of the memory, a memory such as a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol) Each initial value is written in the work area of (S15) (S15), and the process proceeds to the residual process (initial random number updating process (S80)).

When an affirmative judgment is made as to normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update process (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update process (S40), hit determination random number update process (S45), reach determination random number update process (S50), fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S55) ) Is done.

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), the first start opening 11, the second start opening 12, the first big winning opening 14, the second big winning opening 91, the general winning opening 31, and the normal Confirmation of the ball entering the symbol operation gate 17, the specific area 94, and the input process of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed. Winning (ball winning) confirmation processing (starting winning processing) for each of the starting opening and the working opening will be described later with reference to FIG.

Successively, the judgment processing (S65), each output processing such as image output processing (S70), and fraud monitoring processing (S75) are performed, and the initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the interrupt signal is input next. The process (S80) is looped.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described. This processing is one of the subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S60) shown in FIG. 7 (including the pending storage means, the prefetch determination means, the pending storage number transmission means, and the prefetch determination signal transmission means).

After that, the reserve memory stored when the game ball enters the first starting port 11 is the first reserve memory, and the reserve memory stored when the game ball enters the second starting port 12 is the second reserve memory. The memory, the normal memory is stored as a reserved memory stored when the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting gate 17. In this embodiment, the upper limit number of the first reserved storage is 4, the upper limit number of the second reserved storage is 4, and the upper limit number of the universal figure reserved storage is 4.

When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the first starting opening switch 11a detects a game ball (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of first reserved storages already stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), various random number values such as win/fail random numbers (big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers 1 and 2, small hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers Etc.) is extracted and stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80 as the first reserved memory, and 1 is added to the first reserved memory counter indicating the number of the first reserved memories (S110).

Subsequent to S110, the prefetching determination of the stored first pending storage is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number is a value that causes a big hit, and if it is a big hit value, the kind of big hit symbol and the kind of big hit game to be executed are confirmed. If the big hit judgment is lost, check whether it is a value that causes a small hit, and if it is a small hit value, check the type of the small hit pattern. If it is a big hit or a small hit, check the type of the lost design (pre-reading determination means).

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

Following the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100:no, S105:no), it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If the determination is negative (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if the determination is positive (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of the second reserved storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (=4). (S135). If it is a negative determination (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if it is a positive determination (S135: yes), various random number values such as winning and winning random numbers (random numbers for big hit determination, random numbers 1 and 2 for big hit symbol determination, and small hit symbol determination) Random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers, etc.) are extracted and stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of main controller 80 as a second reserved memory, and a second indicating the number of second reserved memories. The pending storage counter is incremented by 1 (S140), and the read-ahead determination of the stored second pending storage is performed similarly to S115 (S145).

Next, a second prefetch judgment command is generated based on the judgment result of S145 and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S150), and a second reservation number instruction command indicating the value of the second reservation storage counter added in S140. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S155) and the process proceeds to S160.

In S160, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol actuation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S160), if the determination is negative (S165: no), return to return, and if the determination is affirmative (S160: yes), stored in the main controller 80. It is determined whether or not the number of stored universal maps is less than the upper limit number (=4) (S165). If the determination is negative (S165: no), the process is returned to return, and if the determination is positive (S165: yes), the extracted random number for hit determination, random number for determining winning symbol, random number for determining universal figure variation pattern is stored as a universal figure pending storage. Then, 1 is added to the universal figure pending storage counter indicating the number of universal figure pending storages (S170), and the universal figure pending storage number instruction command indicating the added value of the universal figure pending storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S175), the process returns.

When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second holding storage number instruction commands, an instruction to change the display of each holding storage number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the holding storage number indicated by the received command. The signal is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. In addition, in the present embodiment, the number of reserved storages of ordinary symbols is not displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to be displayed in response to the reception of the ordinary figure reserved storage number instruction command. The number instruction command itself may not be transmitted.

Next, with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, the special drawing validity determination processing executed by the main controller 80 will be described. This process, the variable display time selection of the first special symbol or the second special symbol depending on the result of the hit judgment of the first holding memory and the second holding memory and the corresponding judgment, selection of the fixed symbol, content setting of the big hit game This is the process to be performed, and includes the hit/miss determination means of the present invention and the jackpot symbol determination means.

When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is operating, that is, the special winning opening is operating (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process returns, and if the determination is negative (S200: no), It is determined whether or not the first or second special map is changing (S205), and if it is not changing (205: no), it is determined whether or not the final symbol of the first or second special map is being displayed. (S210), if the confirmation display is not in progress (S210: no), it is determined whether there is a second hold storage (S215), and if the determination is negative (S215: no), it is determined whether there is a first hold storage. If the determination is negative (S220) (S220: no), the process returns. If S215 or S220 is a positive determination (S215: yes, S220: yes), the process proceeds to S225. According to the determination order of S215 and S220, the second pending storage preferentially performs the success/failure determination.

In S225, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 (S225). The time saving flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. When the time saving flag value is "0", it means that the time saving state is not, and when the time saving flag value is "1", the time saving state is. Main controller 80 determines that If S225 is negative, that is, if the time saving state and the open extension state (S225: no), the processing during the time saving state is performed, but in the time saving state, the selection table of the variation pattern to be selected according to the result of the judgment is different. The explanation is omitted because it is no different from the conventional technology.

If the determination in S225 is affirmative, that is, if it is the normal state (S225: yes), the shift process of the reserved storage is performed (S230). As a result, the earliest (first elapse of time after being stored in the hold) the first or second held storage is set as the object of the hit/fail judgment, and 1 is subtracted from the held storage counter indicating the corresponding held storage.

In the subsequent jackpot determination random number comparison processing, the jackpot determination random number in the pending storage that is the target of the special figure hit determination is compared with a preset hit determination table, and the value of the jackpot determination random number is within the hit determination table. It is compared with the judgment value of (S235).

In subsequent S240, it is determined whether or not the result of S235 is a big hit (the same as the big hit determination value). If the determination is affirmative (S240: yes), symbol mode setting processing is performed (S245). In the symbol mode setting process, the symbol mode for determining the contents of the big hit game is set based on the big hit symbol determining random number 1 of the first or second reserved memory to be judged.

Subsequently, a big hit symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the big hit symbol determination random number 2 (S250). This is a process to determine the jackpot pattern to be confirmed and displayed from the symbol group set for each type of the symbol mode in order to inform the type of the jackpot game determined by the setting of the symbol mode by the jackpot symbol (book. Equivalent to the jackpot design determination means of the invention).

Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S245 (S255),
Based on the symbol mode set in S245, the setting process of the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 91, which is the content of the big hit game, and the operation pattern of the allocating device 92 is performed (S260). Based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number of the first or second reserved storage as the determination target, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10, and the effect symbol display device 6 A variation pattern selection process is performed to select a variation pattern that is the variation time of the symbols to be displayed (S265).

Then, the information of the selected jackpot pattern and the variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S270). Based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6, based on the information of the big hit symbol and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol. The production variation display of the pseudo symbol is started. Almost at the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbol.

If S240 is a negative determination, that is, if it is lost (S240: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison process of S235 is a small hit (S280), and if it is an affirmative determination (S280: yes), a small hit symbol is selected ( S285), subsequently, the opening pattern setting process of the first special winning opening 14 is performed (S260), the above-described variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S265), and the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern is obtained. The variation instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S270). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which has received this information, and corresponds to the first or second special symbol based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. The variable display of the produced design is started. Almost at the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbol.

If S280 is a negative determination (S280: no), a lost symbol is selected (S290), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S265), and a variation instruction command that becomes information of the symbol and variation pattern related to the lost symbol. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S270). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which receives this information, and starts the variable display of the pseudo symbol based on the information of the lost symbol and the variation pattern. Almost at the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbol.

Next, if S205 is affirmative, that is, if the special symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 10, and the change time of the special symbol (based on the change pattern selected in S265) has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (S300). If negative determination (S300: no) returns, if positive determination (S300: yes), the confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled. Then, the confirmed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is confirmed and displayed (S305). Upon receiving the confirmation command, the sub integrated control device 83 transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the previously selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82, in accordance with the signal, the effect symbol display device. Control 6 to confirm and display the pseudo symbol. Thereby, the start and end of the variation of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol are the same timing (synchronized).

Following S305, it is determined whether the first or second special symbol confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is a jackpot symbol (S310), and if the determination is affirmative (S310). : Yes), a fixed symbol display setting process (setting of the time to display the fixed symbol) is performed (S315), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S320), and if the determination is affirmative (S320: yes), The probability variation flag is set to 0 (S325). The probability variation flag is a value stored in the main control device 80, and if the value is "1", it is determined that the high probability state is present, and if the value is "0", it is determined that the normal probability state (low probability state).

Following the negative determination of S325 or S320 (S320: no), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1 (S330). If the determination is affirmative (S330: yes), 0 is set to the time saving flag (S335), Following the negative determination (S330: no) in S335 or S330, the jackpot game is started by performing the condition device operation start processing (S340) and the accessory continuous operation device operation start processing (S345), and a big hit. A start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S350), and the jackpot flag is set to 1 (S353).

On the other hand, S310 is a negative determination, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S310: no), a fixed symbol display setting process (setting of time to display the fixed symbol) is performed (S360), and the probability variation flag is 1 If it is affirmative (S365: yes), the positive variation counter that counts the number of fluctuations of the special figure at the time of positive variation is decremented (S370), and it is determined whether the positive variation counter is 0 (S375). If the determination is affirmative (S375: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S380), and the probability variation end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S385). Based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which has received the probability variation end command, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 to display a display mode informing that the high probability state has ended.

Following the negative determination (365:no, S375:no) of S385 or S365, S375, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1 (S390), and if the determination is affirmative (S390:yes), the special time saving time is special. Decrement the hour/hour counter that counts the number of fluctuations of (S395), determine whether the hour/hour counter is 0 (S400), and if affirmative (S400:yes), set the hour/hour flag to 0 (S405) and end hour/hour. The command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S410). Based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 which has received the time saving end command, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6, and a display mode for notifying that the time saving (open extension) state has ended indicate.

Following the negative determination (390: no, S400: no) of S410, or S390, S400, it is determined whether or not the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol (S415), and if the determination is affirmative (S415: yes), the 1 big winning a prize mouth 14 does the small hitting game setting processing which starts the operation of the small hitting game (S420). Following the negative determination (S415: no) in S420, S353, or S415, a state designation command indicating the game state after the above processing is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S355), and the process returns.

Returning to FIG. 9, if S210 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11, and it is determined whether the confirmed symbol display time has elapsed (S450). (S450: no) Return, if an affirmative determination (S450: yes), the fixed symbol display end processing (S455) is performed, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to control the special symbol. The confirmation display is terminated, and the sub integrated control device 83 is instructed to terminate the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol.

Next, the special game processing executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 17. This processing is processing including the detection means and the distribution means of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is inactive based on the jackpot flag (S500), and if the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the first big winning opening 14 is in operation as a jackpot game. It is determined (S505), if it is a negative determination (S505: no), return is made, if it is a positive determination (S505: yes), it is determined whether or not a small hit start effect is being produced (S510), and if it is a positive determination (S510). : Yes), the first big winning opening 14 is opened (S520), and the process returns.

If S510 is a negative determination (S510: no), it is determined whether or not the small hitting operation is in progress (S530), and if the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), whether or not the number of winning balls to the first special winning opening 14 is less than nine. It is determined (S535), if the determination is affirmative (S535: yes), it is determined whether the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has elapsed (S540), and if the determination is negative (S540), the process returns. If S535 is a negative determination (S535: no) or S540 is an affirmative determination (S540: yes), a special winning opening closing process for closing the first special winning opening 14 is performed (S545), and a small hit end effect processing is performed ( S550) Return.

If S530 is a negative determination (S530: no), it is determined whether or not it is time to end the small hitting end effect (S555), if negative determination (S555: no), returns, and if a positive determination (S555: yes), small. The winning game ending process is performed (S560) and the process ends.

If S500 of FIG. 12 is a negative determination (S500: no), that is, if the big hit flag is set, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13, and it is determined whether the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 91 are closed. If (S600), affirmative determination (S600: yes), it is determined whether or not the big hit game start effect is being generated (S605), and if affirmative determination (S605: yes), whether or not it is time to end the big hit game start effect. (S610), a negative determination (S610: no) returns, and an affirmative determination (S610: yes) performs the first big winning opening opening process (S615) for opening the first big winning opening 14 and returns. ..

If the determination in S605 is negative (S605: no), that is, if the big hit game is not in the start effect, it is determined whether or not it is during the interval (during opening) (S620), and if the determination is affirmative (S620: yes), the interval ends. Whether or not it is time (S625), if affirmative determination (S625: yes), next time it is determined whether or not it is a round to activate the first special winning opening 14 (S630), if affirmative determination (S630: yes), The first special winning opening opening process for opening the first special winning opening 14 is performed (S635), and the process returns. When S630 is a negative determination (S630: no), the second special winning opening opening process for opening the second special winning opening 91 is performed (S640), 1 is set in the specific area flag (S645), and the process returns.

The specific area flag is a value stored by the main control device 80 to determine whether or not the detection of the specific area switch 94a that determines whether or not to shift to the high-probability state after the end of the big hit game is effective. If it is 1, it is determined that the detection of the specific area switch 94a is valid, and if the value is 0, it is determined that it is invalid.

Here, the specific area entry detection process which is started when the specific area flag shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17 is set to 1 will be described. This process is to set a game state after the big hit game is set, at the end of the big hit game, a process for setting a entered flag for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area 94 during the big hit game. Is. If the value of the entered flag stored in the main control device 80 is 1, the main control device 80 indicates that the game ball has entered the specific area 94 during the big hit game, and if the value is 0, it has not entered. to decide.

When the specific area entrance detection process is started, it is determined whether or not the specific area flag is 1 (S950), if the determination is negative (S950: no), the process returns, and if the determination is positive (S950: yes), the specific area switch 94a is the game. It is determined whether or not a ball has been detected (S955), and if the determination is affirmative (S955: yes), 1 is set in the entered flag (S960). If the determination in S955 is negative (S955: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area effective time has elapsed (S970), and if the determination is negative (S970: no), a positive determination (S970: yes) or subsequent to S960 is performed. For example, the specific area flag is set to 0 (S965) and the process returns.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, if S620 is a negative determination, that is, if it is not during the interval (S620: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot game end effect is being produced (S650), and if it is a negative determination (S650: no), sub-integration. The big hit start effect process for transmitting a command instructing the big hit start effect to the control device 83 is performed (S655), and the process returns.

If S600 is negative, that is, if one of the special winning openings is open (S600: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the first special winning opening 14 is open (S700), and an affirmative judgment is made. If (S700: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of winnings to the first special winning opening 14 is less than 9 (S705), and if the determination is affirmative (S705: yes), the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (S710), if it is a negative determination (S710), the process returns, and after the negative determination of S705 (S705:no) or the affirmative determination of S710 (S710:yes), the first big winning opening. A first special winning opening closing process of closing 14 is performed (S715).

Subsequent to S715, it is determined whether or not the final round is finished (S720), and if the determination is affirmative (S720: yes), a jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 to perform jackpot end effect processing ( If the determination is negative (S720: no), the interval processing between open periods is performed (S730) and the process returns.

If the determination of S700 is negative, that is, if the second special winning opening 91 is open (S700: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 15, and one game ball that wins the second special winning opening 91 in the round game (book) (Corresponding to the first detection number of the invention) (S755), and if the determination is affirmative (S755: yes), it is determined whether or not the first operation described above with reference to FIG. 2 is not performed (S760), affirmative. If the determination is made (S760: yes), the distribution device first operation process for driving the distribution solenoid 93b after a predetermined time (A) is performed (S765) and the process returns. By driving the distribution solenoid 93b in S765, the first operation is performed, the distribution device 92 enters the first state, and the ball entrance path to the specific area 94 is closed.

If S755 is a negative determination (S755: no), it is determined whether or not there are 0 game balls that have won the second big winning opening 91 in the round game (S758), and a negative determination, that is, the second major in the round game. If the number of winnings to the winning hole 91 is 2 or more (S758: no), it is determined whether or not the number of winnings is 2 (S770), and if the determination is affirmative (S770: yes), the jackpot game being executed is the second. It is determined whether or not it is a big hit game (S775), if the determination is affirmative (S775: yes), it is determined whether or not the second operation described above with reference to FIG. 2 is not performed (S780), and if the determination is affirmative (S780: yes). The driving of the distribution solenoid 93b is completed by the distribution device second operation processing (S785), and the process returns. When the driving of the distribution solenoid 93b in S785 is completed, the second operation is performed, the distribution device 92 enters the second state, and the ball entry path to the specific area 94 is opened.

If S758 is affirmative (S758:yes) or S760 is negative (S760:yes), that is, if the number of winnings to the second big winning opening 91 after the start of the round is less than two. It is determined whether or not the big hit game being executed is the second big hit game (S790), if the negative judgment is made (S790: no), the affirmative judgment is made (S790: yes), and a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the round game ( 25 seconds) is determined (S795), if negative determination (S795: no) returns, if positive determination (S795: yes), the above-described sorting device second operation processing is performed (S785) return. To do. As a result, when the number of balls entering the second special winning opening 91 has not reached 2 even when the round game is almost over due to an unexpected situation (for example, there are no more game balls that can be fired on the upper plate) , If the predetermined time (25 seconds) elapses, the state changes to the second state, so that the game ball entered after the predetermined time easily enters the specific area 94 and does not cause any disadvantage to the player.

If S770 is a negative determination (S770: no), it is determined whether or not the number of winnings to the second special winning opening 91 has reached 9 since the start of the round (S800), and if a negative determination is made (S800: no). ), it is determined whether the opening time (29.0 seconds) of the second special winning opening 91 has ended (S805), and if the determination is negative (S805), the process returns. If S800 or S805 is affirmative (S800:yes, S805:yes), the 2nd special winning opening closing process which closes the 2nd special winning opening 91 is performed (S810), and the interval processing between opening is performed (S815) Return To do.

Returning to FIG. 13, negative determination is made in S650, that is, if the big hit end effect is being produced (S650: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S850), and if the negative determination is ( S850: no) Return, and if the determination is affirmative (850: yes), the accessory continuous operation device stop process (S855), the condition device operation stop process (S860) is performed, and it is determined whether the entered flag is 1 ( S865).

If S865 is affirmative, that is, if the game ball enters the specific area 94 during the big hit game (S865: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S870), and the probability variation counter is set to 130 (S875). If the determination in S865 is negative, that is, if the game ball has not entered the specific area 94 during the big hit game (S865: no), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S885), and the probability variation counter is set to 0 (S890). ).

Subsequent to S875 or S890, 1 is set to the hour/hour flag (S895), 100 is set to the hour/hour counter (S900), and an end command and a state designation command for instructing the gaming state after the jackpot game is over. It transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 (S905, S910), sets 0 to the big hit flag (S915), and returns.

Next, using the timing chart shown in FIG. 18, the relationship between the operation content of the distribution device 92 when the second special winning opening 91 is activated and the type of the big hit game (first big hit game, second big hit game) Will be explained. The timing chart of the figure shows how the state (first state, second state) of the distribution device 92 changes between the first big hit game and the second big hit game in response to the detection of the second count switch 94a. Showing.

In both the first and second jackpot games, the distribution device 92 before the opening of the second jackpot 91 is in the second state (the ball enters the specific area 94 as the normal state shown in FIG. 2). It is in the same state as the (easy state), in this state, the opening of the second big winning opening 91 is started and the first game ball is won (the second count switch 91a counts the first game ball). ) And time A passes and the first operation is continued. By this first operation, the distribution device 92 changes from the second state to the first state (a state in which it is difficult to enter the specific area 94). In addition, during the period A from the detection of the first game ball to the execution of the first operation, the first game ball entered the second special winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94 due to this time lag. Giving you a chance to play.

If the second gaming ball wins the second special winning opening 91 (the second count switch 91a counts the second gaming ball) while the sorting device 92 continues to be in the first state, the first In the jackpot game, the state of the sorting device 92 does not change at all, in the second jackpot game, the second operation is performed according to the count of the second game ball, and the sorting device 92 is in the first state to the second state. Changes to (back). Of course, in the first big hit game, the game ball may be practically not allowed to enter the specific area 94, until the game ball reaches the specific area 94 after detecting the entrance into the second special winning opening 91. By setting the distance, if the first operation is completed by the time the detected game ball reaches the distribution device 92, it is possible to ensure that the first operation and the second operation cannot enter or enter. The target probability variation imparting rate can be designed by the operation of the allocating device 92.

After this, if the game ball is normally launched in the second game area 3b, the first state of the distribution device 92 in the first jackpot game is continued until the end of the round, so there is an opportunity to enter the specific area 94. However, in the second big hit game, when the distribution device 92 changes to the second state, there is no opportunity to change the state of the distribution device 93 thereafter, so the second state is continued until the end of the round. Therefore, in the second big hit game, the game balls that win the third and subsequent prizes easily enter the specific area 94.

Next, an example of an effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIG. (A) is an example of an effect display when the big hit is confirmed. Specifically, in the pseudo-symbol display area near the center of the screen, the left-middle-right pseudo-symbols are displayed in the same pattern, and the character string "big hit!" is displayed on the upper left of the screen, and the character is displayed to the right. (Tatsukichi, the bear with a smile) is displayed.

(B) is a display example from the time of performing the second operation to the time of entering the specific area 94 or the end of the effective period of the specific area 94. Specifically, the character "V chance" is displayed in the approximate center of the screen. The plate in which the columns are described is displayed, the character string “Right hit→Right hit→” is displayed on the upper left of the screen, and the character (Kuma no Tatsuyoshi) is displayed on the right. With this display, in the second state after the second operation of the distribution device 92, since the rate of entry into the specific area 94 is high, it is notified that there is a chance of a probability change transition (high probability state transition). ing. (C) is a display example when a game ball enters the specific area 94. A large letter V is displayed in the center of the screen, the number of rounds in the game is displayed on the upper left of the screen, and the upper part of the screen is displayed. The character (Tatsukichi Kuma) is displayed on the right. Further, (d) of FIG. 21 is a display example when a predetermined time has passed without winning the second prize at the second special winning opening 91.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 20 is a modification of the special game process. In this modification, when the second special winning opening 91 is operated in the second big hit game, the second count switch 91a does not detect the second game ball even if a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the operation. Shows a configuration in which the second operation is not performed even if the second one is detected thereafter.

FIG. 20 shows a processing unit (a processing unit at the time of opening the second special winning opening 91) corresponding to FIG. 15 of the special game processing, and S700 of FIG. 14 receives a negative determination, and the big winning opening being opened is the second largest. If the winning opening 91, it proceeds to FIG. 20, it is determined whether there is one game ball (corresponding to the first detection number of the present invention) winning the second big winning opening 91 in the round game (S1000), and a positive determination is made. If (S1000: yes), it is determined whether or not the first operation is not performed (S1005), and if the determination is affirmative (S1005: yes), the distribution device first operation for driving the distribution solenoid 93b after a predetermined time (A). The process is performed (S1010) and the process returns.

If S1000 is a negative determination (S1000: no), it is determined whether or not there are two game balls that have won the second big winning opening 91 in the round game (S1015), and if the determination is affirmative (S1015: yes), it is executed. It is determined whether or not the jackpot game that is present is the second jackpot game (S1020), if the determination is affirmative (S1020: yes), it is determined whether or not the second operation has not been performed (S1025), and if the determination is affirmative (S1025: yes), It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (28 seconds, for example) has not elapsed from the start of the round (S1030), and if the determination is affirmative (S1030: yes), driving of the sorting solenoid 93b is terminated by the sorting device second operation process. (S1035) The process returns. If S1030 is negative (S1030: no), the process proceeds to S1045 corresponding to S805 in FIG. 15 and the second operation is not performed.

In this way, in the modified example, even if the second game ball in the second big hit game wins the second big winning opening 91, if the predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the round, the second operation is not performed. It is composed. With this configuration, when the distribution device 92 does not have enough time to enter the game ball into the specific area 94 while the second special winning opening 91 performing the second operation is opened, the second operation is not performed. So you don't have to expect the player.

The effect of the modified example is more exerted by using the display example of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. Specifically, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the round, by displaying the content shown in (e) of FIG. 21, it is possible to notify the player that the effective time for performing the second motion has already passed. Inform. It should be noted that the display example of (e) may be displayed in advance during the big hit game of the second special winning opening 91 where the second operation is not performed, so that the failure to enter the specific area 94 may be notified in advance.

The above is the description of the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the first operation is an operation to prevent the ball from entering the specific area 94, and if the distribution device 92 switches to the first state, the game ball entering the second special winning opening 91 is the specific area. Although the probability of entering the ball at 94 is 0, there is a time lag from the detection of the first game ball entered after the start of the big hit round of the second special winning opening 91 to the first operation, so that There is a possibility of entering the specific area 94 during the time lag.

In this embodiment, the first operation is triggered by the detection of the first game ball that has won the second big winning opening 91, and the second operation is performed when the detection of the second game ball is entered. However, the trigger of the second operation is not limited to this, and the second operation may be performed by detecting a number of more than two in the case of the second big hit, or the second operation is not a fixed number each time. It is also possible to provide a plurality of types of second big hits, and to perform the second operation by detecting a different number for each kind of big hit symbols.

By making the number of detections that triggers the second operation plural according to the type of the symbol, it is difficult for the player to identify the type of the jackpot symbol, so it is impossible to distinguish between the first jackpot and the second jackpot. In addition, since the number of detections in which the second operation is performed is not fixed even in the case of the second big hit, the expectation of entering the specific area 94 until the end even in either the first big hit game or the second big hit game. You can proceed with the round game.

In addition, when a game ball that triggers the second action is detected, the second action may be performed after a predetermined time has passed. In this configuration as well, it is the big hit game of either the first or the second. Even with the expectation of entering the specific area 94 until the end, the round game can proceed. Regarding the setting of this predetermined time, it is possible to change the time depending on the type of the big hit symbol. By doing so, it is possible to have a change in the ball entry rate while keeping the same number of detections that trigger the operation.

Further, it is possible to make the number of detections in which the first and second operations are performed different depending on the game state. By doing so, it is possible to create an advantage or disadvantage of the ball entry rate depending on the gaming state, and by combining this with the type of big hit symbol and setting the detected number, a complicated operation pattern can be created.

It is also possible to set different detection numbers for the first special figure and the second special figure. For example, even if the second big hits have the same ratio, it is possible to create an advantage or disadvantage due to the difference in the number of detections that results in the second operation. In this way, various game characteristics can be formed by combining the first special figure, the second special figure, the game state, the detected number, and the time when the operation starts.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. The electrical connection of the pachinko gaming machine in the second embodiment is common to that of the first embodiment, and the portions that are not particularly described are common contents and redundant description will be omitted.

A big difference from the first embodiment is the configuration of the second special winning opening 91 and the distribution device 92, the contents of which will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a front view of the game board 1 according to the second embodiment, and the shape of the center case 5 and the shapes and arrangement positions of the parts arranged in the second game area 3b are different from those of the first embodiment.

Specifically, also in this embodiment, the center case 5 arranged in the substantially central portion is divided into a first game area 3a and a second game area 3b, and the left side of the center case 5 is the first game area. 3a, the right side becomes the second game area 3b, and a large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b. A first starting port 11 (corresponding to the starting port of the present invention) is arranged under the center case 5, and three general winning openings 31 are provided on the left side of the first starting port 11.

In the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, a normal symbol operation gate 17 is arranged from above, and a normal electric accessory 16 is arranged below it, and when the normal electric accessory 16 operates, a second start is performed. It is possible to enter the game ball into the mouth 12 (corresponding to the starting mouth of the present invention). This ordinary electric accessory 16 can enter the ball only when it is in operation.

Below the ordinary electric accessory 16, there is a second special winning opening 91 having a distribution device 92 inside which is integrated with the right side surface of the center case 5 and one of which opens and closes. Corresponding to the big winning mouth) has been placed. The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. At the lower left of the second special winning opening 91, the first special winning opening 14 for opening and closing the door member is installed. In addition, also in the present embodiment, the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 91 operate in a predetermined round similar to the first embodiment.

Also in the present embodiment, the first starting port 11 can enter only the game balls that have flowed down substantially in the first game area 3a, the normal symbol operation gate 17, the second starting port 12, the second big winning port 91, the second. For the 1 big winning opening 14, only the game ball flowing down the second game area 3b can be entered for the same reason.

Next, the distribution device 92 including the specific area 94 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this embodiment, the game balls that have entered the second special winning opening 91 all flow into the distribution device 92 after being detected by the second count switch 91a (corresponding to the detecting means of the present invention).

Below the second count switch 91a, a symmetrical distribution piece 93 is pivotally provided so as to be swingable (rotatable) left and right by a central support shaft. The distribution piece 93 is tilted to the right in a normal state and is tilted to the left by driving the distribution solenoid 93b.

Below the sorting piece 93, the left side is the first route 95a and the right side is the second route 95b. The first route 95a is provided with the clune 96 having three holes at the tip thereof, and the clune 96 has a left rear portion and a right rear portion. The two holes serve as a losing mouth, and the hole X in the foreground serves as a contact hole that is guided to the specific area 94 when the ball enters. When the game ball rolls on the second route 95b, it is directly guided to the specific area 94.

FIG. 23A shows a state in which the game balls are distributed to the first route 95a in which the first operation of the distribution device 93 (the distribution piece 93 is tilted to the left by the driving of the distribution solenoid 93b) is carried out. The sorting piece 93 that was in the right tilted state in this state is in the left tilted state (the first state of the present invention) due to the driving of the sorting solenoid 93b (corresponding to the first operation of the present invention). When the game ball flows into the distribution device 92 in this state, the game ball is distributed from the first route 95a to the clune 96, and the game ball rolling the clune enters the specific area 94 with a probability of 1/3.

(B) of the figure is a state in which the second operation (the distribution piece 93 is tilted to the right) is performed from the state of (a) (first state) to distribute the game balls to the second route 95b (second of the present invention). State), the distribution piece 93 that is tilted to the left in the first state is tilted to the right because the distribution solenoid 93b is not driven (corresponding to the second operation of the present invention). When the game ball flows into the distribution device 92 in this state, the game ball is guided to the specific area 94 with a probability of 1/1 and enters the ball. Therefore, when the distribution piece 93 is tilted to the left (first state), the game ball is distributed to the first route and enters the specific area 94 with a probability of 1/3, and the distribution piece 93 is tilted to the right (second). In the case of (state), the game ball is distributed to the second route and enters the specific area 94 with a probability of 1/1.

The operation content of the pachinko machine of this embodiment is the same as the table of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, the type of jackpot pattern and the content of the jackpot game, and the operation of the second jackpot 91 of each jackpot game. The implementation timing of the first operation and the second operation is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Therefore, also in this embodiment, the first operation and the second operation are performed according to the number of detections of the second count switch 91a, and when the number of detections becomes 1 in the first and second big hit games (the second big prize) After the start of the round in which the mouth 91 operates, when one game ball is won in the second big winning opening 91, the distribution device 92 performs the first operation, and when the number of detections becomes 2 in the second big hit game (second After the start of the round in which the special winning opening 91 is activated, when two game balls are won in the second special winning opening 91), the distribution device 92 executes the second operation.

The above is the description of the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the distribution device 92 performs the first operation and the second operation to distribute the game balls flowing into the distribution device 92 to the first route 95a and the second route 95b. Unlike, even when the game ball is distributed to the first route 95a in the first state after the first motion, the game ball enters the specific area 94 with a predetermined probability (1/3). Therefore, even if the big hit game that is being performed is the first big hit game that does not perform the second operation, it is possible to expect to enter the specific area 94, that is, to shift to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game.

As a result, the change from the first state to the second state is not a change from a state in which it can be expected to enter the specific area 94 as in the first embodiment to a state in which the player can definitely enter the ball, but a predetermined probability. The change from the state of entering the ball to the state of entering the ball reliably. In addition, with the configuration of the present embodiment as well, whether it is the big hit game of the first or the second, by increasing the number of balls to the second big winning opening 91, it is expected to change to an advantageous state. You can proceed with the game.

In the second embodiment, if the second special winning opening 91 is opened, it is possible that the player may enter the specific area 94 regardless of which route the lead is directed to. A configuration in which there is no possibility of entering the area 94 is also possible. Further, as described in the first and second operations, it is possible to provide the third operation in the case of a configuration having three or more routes. In that case, it is conceivable to provide a third jackpot game that performs the first to third actions. In this way, if the third action has a higher ball entry rate than the second action, the player further shifts to the third action while hoping that the first action develops into the second or third action. You can play while expecting to develop.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. The electrical connection of the pachinko gaming machine in the third embodiment is also common to that of the first embodiment, and the portions that are not particularly described have common contents, and thus duplicate description will be omitted.

The present embodiment also differs greatly from the first and second embodiments in the configuration of the distribution device 92, the content of which will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 24 is a front view of the game board 1 according to the third embodiment, and the shape of the center case 5 and the shapes of the parts arranged in the second game area 3b are different from those of the second embodiment.

Specifically, also in the present embodiment, the game area is divided into a first game area 3a and a second game area 3b with the center case 5 arranged substantially in the center as a boundary, and the left side of the center case 5 is the first game area 3a. One game area 3a, the right side is a second game area 3b, and a large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b. A first starting port 11 (corresponding to the starting port of the present invention) is arranged under the center case 5, and three general winning openings 31 are provided on the left side of the first starting port 11.

In the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, a normal symbol operation gate 17 is arranged from above, and a normal electric accessory 16 is arranged below it, and when the normal electric accessory 16 operates, a second start is performed. It is possible to enter the game ball into the mouth 12 (corresponding to the starting mouth of the present invention). This ordinary electric accessory 16 can enter the ball only when it is in operation.

A second special winning opening 91 (corresponding to a special winning opening having a specific area inside the present invention) which is integrated with the right side surface of the center case 5 and one of which opens and closes is arranged at the lower left of the ordinary electric accessory 16. Has been done. The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. Below the second special winning opening 91, the first special winning opening 14 for opening and closing the door member is installed. In addition, also in the present embodiment, the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 91 operate in a predetermined round similar to the first embodiment.

Also in the present embodiment, the first starting port 11 can enter only the game balls that have flowed down substantially in the first game area 3a, the normal symbol operation gate 17, the second starting port 12, the second big winning port 91, the second. For the 1 big winning opening 14, only the game ball flowing down the second game area 3b can be entered for the same reason.

Next, the distribution device 92 including the specific area 94 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this embodiment, the game balls that have entered the second special winning opening 91 all flow into the distribution device 92 after being detected by the second count switch 91a (corresponding to the detecting means of the present invention).

Below the second count switch 91a, a distribution device guide path 97 is arranged, and all the game balls detected by the second count switch 91a roll on this distribution device guide path 97 and have four holes. It is discharged toward the klune (sorting device 93). In this four-hole clune, the hole on the far right is a specific area 94, and the other three holes are holes 99 (a specific area and a predetermined number of other areas). In the normal state, the three outlets 99 are closed by the distribution guide pieces 93.

FIG. 25A shows a state in which the first operation of the distribution device 92 (the distribution guide piece 93 is moved to the lower part of the tune by the driving of the distribution solenoid 93b) is performed, and the three pieces opened by the first operation are shown. With the outflow port 99 and one specific region 94, all four holes can enter the ball (first state). In this state, when the game balls are discharged from the sorting device guide path 97 to the klune (sorting device 93), the gaming balls rolling on the klune enter the specific area 94 with a probability of 1/4.

FIG. 25B shows a state in which the second operation (the distribution guide piece 93 moves upward) is performed from the state (first state) of FIG. 25A, and the three escape ports 99 are closed. It will be in a closed state (second state). In this state, when the game balls are discharged from the sorting device guiding path 97 to the klune (sorting device 93), all the gaming balls that have rolled the klune enter the specific area 94 (1/1 probability) ( (The number of other areas that can be sorted changes depending on the change).

The operation contents of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment are also the same as the table of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, the types of big hit symbols and the contents of the big hit game, and the second big winning opening 91 operation of each big hit game. The implementation timing of the first operation and the second operation is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Therefore, also in this embodiment, the first operation and the second operation are performed according to the number of detections of the second count switch 91a, and when the number of detections becomes 1 in the first and second big hit games (the second big prize) After the start of the round in which the mouth 91 operates, when one game ball is won in the second big winning opening 91, the distribution device 92 performs the first operation, and when the number of detections becomes 2 in the second big hit game (second After the start of the round in which the special winning opening 91 is activated, when two game balls are won in the second special winning opening 91), the distribution device 92 executes the second operation.

The above is the description of the third embodiment. In the present embodiment, the distribution device 92 performs the first operation and the second operation to change the rate of entry of the game balls, which have flowed into the clune (the distribution device 92), into the specific area 94. ing. As a result, similarly to the second embodiment, even in the first state, the player can expect to enter the specific area 94 with a predetermined probability.
