(About privilege game status)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of imparting a first privilege game state as a game state (privilege) advantageous to the player after the jackpot game is completed. Here, the first privilege game state is a state in which the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the special prize opening 27a is increased as compared with the state in which the first privilege game state is not given. Specifically, in the first privilege game state, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 27a can be increased by changing the jackpot probability from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege game state is referred to as a "probability change state" for convenience.

The probability variation function of this embodiment lowers the jackpot lottery probability (big hit probability) after the end of the jackpot game, provided that the type of the jackpot symbol displayed on the display device 17 is a predetermined probability variation symbol. It is a function to give a probability change state that changes from a probability to a high probability. The state to which the probabilistic state is not given is defined as the non-probability state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the end of the jackpot game is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not given is the non-probability variation jackpot. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probable change state is given, the probable change state is continuously given from the end of the big hit game until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the lottery probability of the jackpot fluctuates to a high probability and the jackpot is likely to occur. Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player becomes the probability variation jackpot. I am playing the game with expectation. The period for which the probabilistic state is given is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continuously grant the probabilistic state from the time when the probabilistic state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probable state on the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, as a predetermined condition, it is also possible to set the number of fluctuations of the symbol variation effect after the probability variation state is given. In addition, it is determined (fall lottery) based on the random numbers acquired when the pachinko balls are won in the starting winning openings 25a and 26a to determine whether to shift to the non-probability change state for each symbol change effect, and the fall lottery is won. It is also possible to shift to the non-probability state on the condition of.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of imparting a second privilege gaming state (privilege) as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the jackpot game is completed. Here, as the second privilege game state, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 26a is increased as compared with the state in which the second privilege game state is not given. Specifically, in the second privilege game state, it is executed by (1) the pachinko ball has passed through the ball passing gate 33 (more specifically, the passing ball detection sensor 33a has detected the pachinko ball). Shortening the fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation display, (2) The probability of hitting the normal figure fluctuates from low probability to high probability, (3) The opening / closing member 26b for starting to open the second start winning opening 26a for once per normal figure. By increasing the opening time of the pachinko ball, it is possible to increase the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 26a. In the second privilege game state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the starting opening / closing member 26b for opening the second starting winning opening 26a once per drawing, even if it is realized by simply extending the opening time of the starting opening / closing member 26b. It can be realized by increasing the number of times the opening / closing member 26b for starting is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the above (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege gaming state, and in the following description, the combined state of these (1) to (3) is conveniently referred to as a "shortening state". ".

Here, in the embodiment, the period (number of variations) in which the variation state is given changes according to the type of the jackpot symbol determined when the jackpot is won. Specifically, when the type of the jackpot symbol is a predetermined probability variation symbol, it is set so that a variation state is given until the next jackpot occurs, and the type of the jackpot symbol is predetermined. In the case of a non-probability variation symbol, it is set so that the variation state is given until the symbol variation effect is executed a predetermined number of times. In this embodiment, the variation state is the winning rate improvement state.

The probability variation state and the variation state are determined by the type of the jackpot symbol drawn when the jackpot determination executed by the main control CPU 80a is affirmed when the start winning openings 25a and 26a are won. That is, the main control CPU 80a functions as a means for imparting a probability variation state in which the probability of occurrence of a jackpot (probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative) is higher than usual, and imparts the probability variation state. It functions as a probability variation determination means for determining whether or not. Further, the main control CPU 80a is in a variable state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the second starting winning opening 26a is high when a big hit occurs (when the judgment result of the big hit determination is affirmative (hit)). It functions as a means for imparting a winning rate improvement state) and also functions as a variation state determination means (winning rate improvement state determination means) for determining whether or not to grant the variation state. It should be noted that both the probabilistic state and the short-range state are benefits that may be given to the player in the wake of winning the starting prize means, as in the jackpot game.

It is an operation to move to the left-right tilted posture).
In the second operation B, the movable body 54 changes from the second shape (stored state of the movable portion 56) to the first shape (protruding state of the movable portion 56) from the second position (left-right tilted posture) to the first position. It is an action to move to (upright posture).
Further, the base member 41 can perform a linear movement operation that moves between the initial position and the operating position and a tilting operation that moves between the operating position and the tilting position. Then, when the base member 41 executes the tilting motion, the movable body 54 that moves integrally with the base member 41 executes the third motion A and the third motion B classified into the third motion. It is designed to do.
The third operation A is an operation in which the tip of the main body 55 of the movable body 54 approaches the display 17a when the movable body 54 has the second shape (the movable portion 56 is stored) and is in the second position.
The third operation B is an operation in which the tip of the main body 55 of the movable body 54 is separated from the display 17a when the movable body 54 has the second shape (the movable portion 56 is stored) and is in the second position.

The appearance rate of ~ P5 is set. In the embodiment, the jackpot game is given in the order of the first motion effect pattern Poon 1, the second motion effect pattern P2, the third motion effect pattern P3, the fourth motion effect pattern P4, and the fifth motion effect pattern P5. It is set so that the reliability is high. That is, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the reliability of the fifth operation effect pattern P5 is “highest”, the reliability of the fourth operation effect pattern P4 is “high”, and the reliability of the third operation effect pattern P3 is high. "Medium", the reliability of the second operation effect pattern P2 is set to "low", and the reliability of the first operation effect pattern P1 is set to "lowest". In addition, the reliability that the big hit game is given is the total appearance rate that is the sum of the appearance rate when the big hit game (hit game) is given and the appearance rate when the big hit game is not given (becomes out of order). , Indicates the rate of appearance when a jackpot game is granted. That is, the reliability that the jackpot game is given increases as the ratio of the appearance rate when the jackpot game is given to the overall appearance rate increases. Then, the appearance rate for setting the reliability to which the big hit game is given can be defined by the distribution mode (the number of distributions) of the operation effect pattern lottery determination values distributed for each operation effect pattern. ..

Here, in the effect control CPU 81a, a total of 101 integer values from "0" to "100" are set as random numbers for determining the operation effect pattern used in the lottery of the operation effect pattern, and a predetermined value is set. It is updated one by one in a cycle (4 ms). Further, the effect control ROM 81b stores the operation effect pattern lottery determination value used for the operation effect pattern lottery, and the operation effect pattern lottery determination value is "0" which can be a random number for the operation effect pattern determination. A predetermined number of determination values are defined in each operation effect pattern from all 101 kinds of integers up to "100". Further, the distribution of the operation effect pattern lottery determination value is set so as to be different depending on whether the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (hit) or negative (missing). FIG. 18 shows an operation effect pattern distribution lottery table T1 when the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (hit) and an operation effect pattern distribution lottery table T2 when the result of the jackpot determination is negative (missing). In each of the sorting lottery tables T1 and T2, 101 kinds of motion effect pattern lottery determination values are distributed to each motion effect pattern, so that the reliability that the jackpot game of each motion effect pattern is given is as described above. It has come to be regulated.

The effect pattern P4 and the fifth operation effect pattern P5 are set to increase in this order. Specifically, for example, when the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (hit), the fifth motion effect pattern P5 is most likely to be selected, and when the result of the jackpot determination is negative (missing), the fifth motion effect pattern P5 Is configured to be the most difficult to select, so that when the fifth operation effect pattern P5 is executed by the movable effect device M, the reliability that the big hit game is given becomes high. On the other hand, when the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (hit), the first motion effect pattern P1 is most difficult to be selected, and when the result of the jackpot determination is negative (missing), the first motion effect pattern P1 is most selected. Since it is easily configured, when the first operation effect pattern P1 is executed by the movable effect device M, the reliability that the big hit game is given becomes low.

[Action of Example]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment will be described.

When the player rotates the operation lever 16a of the operation handle 16 provided on the front side of the front frame 13, the pachinko ball launched from the ball launching device is launched into the game area 21 of the game board 20. .. The pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 flows down the outer periphery of the frame-shaped decorative body 24, and when the pachinko ball wins a prize in the first start winning section 25 (first start winning opening 25a), the first The detection signal from the 1 start winning detection sensor 29 is input to the main control CPU 80a, and the main control CPU 80a reads the value of the random number for jackpot determination from the main control ROM 80b and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 80c. Then, before the start of the symbol variation game, the main control CPU 80a compares the value of the big hit determination random number stored in the main control RAM 80c with the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 80b to determine whether or not it is a big hit. The big hit judgment (hit judgment) is performed.

When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for jackpot determination and the jackpot determination value match), the main control CPU 80a determines the jackpot. The main control CPU 80a that determines the jackpot reads a random number for determining a symbol from the main control RAM 80c, determines a symbol associated with the value in advance as a jackpot symbol, and stores information indicating the type of the determined symbol in the main control RAM 80c. To do. Then, the main control CPU 80a determines a variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect according to the type of the symbol, and issues a control command corresponding to the determined variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect at a predetermined timing on the effect control board 81 (effect control). Output to CPU81a). Further, when the determination result of the jackpot determination is negative (the value of the random number for the jackpot determination and the jackpot determination value do not match), the main control CPU 80a determines the deviation and determines the selected variation pattern for the deviation effect. , The control command corresponding to the determined variation pattern for the outlier effect is output to the effect control board 81 (effect control CPU 81a) at a predetermined timing.

When the effect control CPU 81a inputs a variation pattern designation command corresponding to the variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect or the variation pattern for the off effect, the movable body control CPU 81a determines whether or not to execute the movable body effect by the movable effect device M. Judge whether or not the body effect can be executed. That is, the effect control CPU 81a acquires a random number for determining whether or not to execute when the variation pattern designation command is input, and uses the acquired value of the random number for determining whether or not to execute can be used for determining whether or not to execute the movable body effect. It is determined whether or not to execute the movable body effect by comparing with the executionability judgment value set in the table.

The effect control CPU 81a determines one operation effect pattern from a plurality of types of operation effect patterns P1 to P5 when it is determined in the execution enablement / non-execution determination to execute the movable body effect, and the determined operation. The effect pattern is executed during the symbol variation effect. Specifically, when the jackpot determination in the main control CPU 80a is affirmative (hit) and the execution feasibility determination is affirmative, the effect control CPU 81a inputs a variation pattern specification command corresponding to the variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect. When this is done, a random number for determining the motion effect pattern is acquired, and the value of the acquired random number for determining the motion effect pattern is used to determine the motion effect pattern lottery set in the motion effect pattern distribution lottery table T1 (FIG. 18). One of the operation effect patterns P1 to P5 is determined in comparison with the value. Further, when the jackpot determination in the main control CPU 80a is negative (missing) and the execution feasibility determination is affirmative, the effect control CPU 81a receives a variation pattern specification command corresponding to the variation pattern for the loss effect. A random number for determining the motion effect pattern is acquired, and the value of the acquired random number for determining the motion effect pattern is compared with the motion effect pattern lottery determination value set in the motion effect pattern distribution lottery table T2 (FIG. 18). Then, one of the operation effect patterns P1 to P5 is determined.

When the effect control CPU 81a determines the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a controls the drive motors 48 and 69 of the movable effect device M based on the determined operation effect pattern, and the movable body 54 and the base member are controlled by the determined operation effect pattern. Operate 41. Further, the effect control CPU 81a outputs a display effect command of the display effect pattern corresponding to the determined operation effect pattern to the display control board 82. Then, the display control CPU 82a controls the display device 17 so that the image based on the display data corresponding to the input display effect command is displayed on the display unit 17a.

For example, when the first operation effect pattern P1 is determined as the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a drives the second drive while maintaining the base member 41 in the initial position without driving the first drive motor 48. The motor 69 is driven and controlled to rotate clockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates clockwise from the reference position, the non-meshing region N1 of the switching gear 78 moves on the facing portion of the connecting gear 75 (see FIGS. 10A and 10B). The movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engaging action of the operating pin 70a of the second operating gear 70 and the operating elongated hole 57b of the rotating base 57 without the articulating gear 75 rotating. To do. That is, the movable portion 56 moves from the first position to the second position while maintaining the protruding state with respect to the main body portion 55 of the movable body 54. Then, by stopping the second drive motor 69 that has moved the movable body 54 to the second position and driving and controlling the second drive motor 69 so as to rotate counterclockwise, the movable body 54 maintains the first shape. Move to the first position while keeping it. Further, on the display unit 17a, the image specified by the first display effect pattern R1 is displayed on the entire display unit 17a, and the decorative image 85 is displayed around the movable body 54, which improves the interest of the effect. Will be done.

When the second operation effect pattern P2 is determined as the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a keeps the base member 41 in the initial position without driving the first drive motor 48, and the second drive motor. The drive is controlled so that the 69 is rotated counterclockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates counterclockwise from the reference position, the meshing region N2 of the switching gear 78 moves on the opposite portion of the connecting gear 75 (see FIGS. 10A and 10C). When both gears 75 and 78 mesh with each other and the connecting gear 75 rotates, the gear train 74 rotates and the movable portion 56 becomes a main body under the meshing action of the termination gear 74b and the second rack 64a. Move so as to sink in the part 55. Further, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engaging action of the operating pin 70a of the second operating gear 70 and the operating elongated hole 57b of the rotating base portion 57. That is, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while changing its shape from the first shape in which the movable portion 56 protrudes to the second shape in which the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body portion 55. Then, by stopping the second drive motor 69 that has moved the movable body 54 to the second position and driving and controlling the second drive motor 69 to rotate clockwise, the movable body 54 is first from the second shape. It moves to the first position while changing its shape. Further, on the display unit 17a, the first specific image 86 specified by the second display effect pattern R2 is displayed in the area where the movable unit 56 of the display unit 17a moves back and forth, and the interest of the effect is improved.

Further, when the third operation effect pattern P3 is determined as the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the forward rotation direction to move the base member 41 from the initial position to the operation position. As it moves, the second drive motor 69 is driven and controlled to rotate clockwise. In this case, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while maintaining the first shape, and the movable body 54 moves to the center side of the display unit 17a (see FIG. 13). Then, the first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the operating position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is driven and controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the movable body 54 is moved to the second position. By stopping the drive motor 69 and driving and controlling the second drive motor 69 to rotate counterclockwise, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 keeps the first shape. Move to one position. Further, on the display unit 17a, the image specified by the third display effect pattern R3 is displayed on the entire display unit 17a, and the decorative image 85 is displayed around the movable body 54, which improves the interest of the effect. Will be done.

When the fourth operation effect pattern P4 is determined as the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the forward rotation direction to move the base member 41 from the initial position to the operation position. As it moves, the second drive motor 69 is driven and controlled to rotate counterclockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates counterclockwise from the reference position, the switching gear 78 meshes with the connecting gear 75 and rotates. Therefore, when the connecting gear 75 rotates, the gear train 74 rotates. Then, under the meshing action of the end gear 74b and the second rack 64a, the movable portion 56 moves so as to be submerged in the main body portion 55. Further, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engaging action of the operating pin 70a of the second operating gear 70 and the operating elongated hole 57b of the rotating base portion 57. That is, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while changing its shape from the first shape in which the movable portion 56 protrudes to the second shape in which the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body portion 55. The movable body 54 moves to the center side of the display unit 17a (see FIG. 14). Then, the first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the operating position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is driven and controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the movable body 54 is moved to the second position. By stopping the drive motor 69 and driving and controlling the second drive motor 69 to rotate clockwise, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 is shaped from the second shape to the first shape. Moves to the first position while changing. Further, on the display unit 17a, the first specific image 86 specified by the fourth display effect pattern R4 is displayed in the area where the movable unit 56 of the display unit 17a moves back and forth, and the interest of the effect is improved.

Furthermore, when the fifth operation effect pattern P5 is determined as the operation effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the forward rotation direction in the same manner as the fourth operation effect pattern P4. The base member 41 is moved from the initial position to the operating position, and the second drive motor 69 is driven and controlled to rotate counterclockwise. As a result, the movable body 54 moves so that the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body portion 55, and moves from the first position to the second position while changing the shape from the first shape to the second shape. It moves to the center side of the display unit 17a. Then, the base member 41 arrives at the operating position, the second drive motor 69 is stopped in a state where the movable body 54 reaches the second position in the second shape, and the first drive motor 48 further rotates in the forward direction. By being rotationally driven, the operating shaft portion 45 of the base member 41 shifts from the linear guide portion 40a of the operating groove 40 to the inclined guide portion 40b, and the base member 41 rotates around the support shaft portion 42. Move. As a result, the movable body 54 also rotates together with the base member 41, and the tip of the main body portion 55 is tilted so as to be close to the display portion 17a, so that the posture is tilted back and forth (see FIG. 15). The first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the tilting position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is driven and controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the second drive motor 69 is driven and controlled to rotate clockwise. By doing so, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 moves to the first position while changing its shape from the second shape to the first shape. Further, while the movable body 54 moves between the initial position and the operating position, the first specific image 86 specified by the fifth display effect pattern R5 is an area in which the movable portion 56 in the display unit 17a moves back and forth.

It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the first operation and the second operation are performed by arranging them. As described above, even in the configuration in which the movable body performs the first operation and the second operation in a fixed position, a configuration in which the third operation is performed by a dedicated driving means can be adopted.
(10) When the movable body executes the first operation, a plurality of types of decorative images to be displayed on the display unit are set, and a jackpot game, a probabilistic state, a variable state, etc. are given depending on the type of the decorative image. You may change the degree. In addition, when the movable body executes the first operation, a plurality of types of related images to be displayed on the entire display unit are set, and a jackpot game, a probabilistic state, a variable state, etc. are given depending on the type of the image. You may try to change the reliability that is given.
(11) In the embodiment, an image of the movable portion (first specific image) is displayed on the display unit in response to the shape change of the movable body from the first shape to the second shape. The image may be an image related to a portion where the movable body has changed. For example, when the movable part is submerged in the main body, an image in which a part of the tip of the spear (movable part) is broken may be displayed. That is, a plurality of types of specific images corresponding to the movement of the shape change from the first shape to the second shape of the movable body are set, and a jackpot game, a probable change state, a change state, or the like is given depending on the type of the specific image. You may change the reliability.

(12) In the embodiment, a first starting winning section in which the pachinko ball can win a prize with a certain probability and a second starting winning section in which the winning probability of the pachinko ball can be changed are provided as starting winning means, and each starting winning means A detection means is provided for each to detect the winning of the pachinko ball individually, but the winning detecting means of the first and second starting winning means may be common. That is, it may be configured so as not to distinguish between the winning of the first starting winning means and the winning of the second starting winning means.
(13) In the embodiment, the sub control means (effect control CPU) may have all or part of the functions provided by the main control means (main control CPU), and conversely, all or part of the functions provided by the sub control means. A part may be provided by the main control means. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (effect control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used.
