The opening / closing operation of the Shikoku Electric Power Company 16 accompanying the fourth ordinary hit game is performed in the opening pattern of either the first pattern P1 or the second pattern P2. In the first pattern P1, first, the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 is opened from the time point T0 until the time TA elapses. In this embodiment, the time TA is 0.250 seconds. At the time point T1 when the time TA elapses from the time point T0, the opening / closing member 161 of the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 is closed. After that, the closed state of the opening / closing member 161 continues for about 3.50 seconds, and when the time point T2 is reached, the first opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 ends. Therefore, the first opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the first pattern P1 is performed over a time TB from the time point T0 to the time point T2. In this embodiment, the time TB is about 3.75 seconds.

When the first opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the first pattern P1 is completed, the second opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 is performed between the time point T2 and the time point T4. The second and subsequent opening / closing operations of the opening / closing member 161 are also composed of an open state of the time TA and a closed state of about 3.50 seconds. The opening / closing operation of the fourth electric power chew 16 related to the normal hit game is performed until 10 or more game balls win a prize in the fourth electric power chew 16 or the opening / closing operation of a predetermined number of times is completed. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one game ball wins the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 in one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161. In the first pattern P1, such an opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 for about 3.75 seconds is performed up to five times. When the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 is performed five times, the fourth normal hit game in the first pattern P1 is performed from the time point T0 to the time point T10. In this embodiment, the time from time point T0 to time point T10 is about 18.75 seconds.

In the second pattern P2, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 similar to that of the first pattern P1 is performed between the time point T0 and the time point T10, and then the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 is further performed up to five times. From the time point T10 until the time TA elapses, the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 is opened. At the time T11 when the time TA elapses from the time point T10, the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 is closed. After that, the closed state of the opening / closing member 161 continues for about 4.00 seconds, and when the time point T10 is reached, the sixth opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 is completed. Therefore, the sixth opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the second pattern P2 is performed over the time TD from the time point T10 to the time point T12. In this embodiment, the time TD is about 4.25 seconds.

When the sixth opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the second pattern P2 is completed, the seventh opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 is performed between the time point T12 and the time point T14. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 141 after the seventh time is also composed of an open state of the time TA and a closed state of about 4.00 seconds. As for the opening / closing operation of the third electric power chew 14 in the second pattern P2, as in the case of the first pattern P1, 10 or more game balls win a prize in the fourth electric power chew 16, or the opening / closing operation of a predetermined number of times is completed. It will be done until it is done. Also in the second pattern P2, it is assumed that one game ball wins the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 in one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161. In the second pattern P2, after the time point T10, such an opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 for about 4.25 seconds is performed up to five times. In the present embodiment, the time from the time point T10 to the time point T20 is about 21.50 seconds. Therefore, the time from the time point T0 to the time point T20 is about 40.25 (= 18.75 + 21.50) seconds.

The distribution shutter 195 operates in a predetermined distribution shutter operation pattern. The distribution shutter 195 before starting the operation is arranged at the second position D2. The operation of the distribution shutter 195 according to the distribution shutter operation pattern is started at the time point T0, which is the start time of the fourth normal hit game of the fourth electric power chew 16. In the distribution shutter operation pattern, the distribution shutter 195 moves from the second position D2 during the period from the time point T0, which is the start time of the fourth normal hit game, until the time TC elapses (the time from the time point T0 to the time point T10). Then, it is arranged at the first position D1. In this embodiment, the time TD is 18.75 seconds. After that, the distribution shutter 195 is arranged at the second position D2. Therefore, while the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 of the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2 is performed for the first to fifth times (between the time point T0 and the time point T10), the distribution shutter 195 is moved to the first position D1. Be placed.

Therefore, in the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 by the first pattern P1, almost all of the game balls that win the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 and flow down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 are guided to the first flow path 191A. It passes through the first passage area 192. When the game ball passes through the first passing region 192, the first operating mechanism is activated to open the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electric accessory 17. Therefore, when the game ball wins the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 according to the first pattern P1, the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electric accessory 17 changes to the opening / closing member of the second non-electric accessory 18. It is easier to be opened than 181. In the present embodiment, in the opening of the opening / closing member 161 by the first pattern P1, when the game ball wins the fourth electric power chew 16, substantially only the first non-electric accessory 17 is opened and the second non-electric The accessory 18 is not released. That is, when the fourth normal hit game is performed in the first pattern P1, the game ball can be won substantially only in the first non-electric accessory 17.

Further, in the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2, the distribution shutter 195 is used from the start time to the end time of the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 five times in the first half (between the time point T0 and the time point T10). It is arranged at the first position D1. In the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 five times in the latter half in the second pattern P2 (between the time point T10 and the time point T20), the distribution shutter 195 is arranged at the second position D2. Therefore, in the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the first half of the second pattern P2, almost all of the game balls that win the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 and flow down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 go to the first flow path 191A. It is guided and passes through the first passage area 192. When the game ball passes through the first passing region 192, the first operating mechanism is activated to open the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electric accessory 17.

Further, in the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the latter half of the second pattern P2, almost all of the game balls that won the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 and flow down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 are the second flow path 191B. It is guided to pass through the second passage area 193. When the game ball passes through the second passing region 193, the second operating mechanism is activated to open the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electric accessory 18. Therefore, in the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2, when the game ball wins the fourth electric power chew 16, the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electric accessory 17 and the opening / closing member of the second non-electric accessory 18 Each of the 181s is likely to be opened. That is, when the third ordinary hit game is performed in the second pattern P2, the game ball can win both the first non-electric accessory 17 and the second non-electric accessory 18 during the fourth ordinary hit game. .. In the present embodiment, the ratio of the game ball winning the fourth electric power chew 16 in the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2 passes through the first passage area 192 and the ratio of passing through the second passage area 193. Are almost equal. Therefore, in the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2, the ratio of opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electric accessory 17 and the ratio of opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electric accessory 18 are set. , Almost equal. Hereinafter, the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2 , which are the opening patterns of the opening / closing member 161 of the fourth electric power chew 16, are collectively referred to as an electric power chew opening pattern.

In addition, when the fourth ordinary hit game is performed in any of the electric chew opening patterns, the game ball does not win in the fourth electric chew 16, and the game ball is in the first passage region 192 and the second passage area 19 of the distribution flow path 19. If none of the passing areas 193 are passed, none of the non-electric accessories is opened during the fourth normal hit game.

An example of the flow of the jackpot game in the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 11. The jackpot game of the pachinko machine 1 is started when the first normal hit game is started. In FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the game is started by left-handed hitting, and when the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11, it is determined by the first normal hit determination that the game is the first normal hit. The time chart of each electric chew opening / closing operation in the case where is done is shown.

An example of the game shown in FIG. 6 is referred to as (1-1). In (1-1), when the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11, the first normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be a hit by the first ordinary hit determination (hereinafter, referred to as "first ordinary hit probability") is about 1/60. The first normal hit probability is not limited to about 1/60, and may be a probability other than 1/60. Hereinafter, what is determined to be a hit by the first ordinary hit determination is also referred to as "first ordinary hit". In the present embodiment, the number (maximum number of first reserved balls) that can hold the first normal collision determination and store random numbers for the game balls that have passed through the first symbol operating gate 11 is "4. ". In the first ordinary hit determination, whether it is a hit or a miss is determined based on the first hit random number. The first ordinary symbol does not change during the first ordinary hit game.

When the first ordinary hit determination is performed, the first ordinary symbol displayed on the first ordinary symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24 starts to fluctuate. In synchronization with the fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol, the display screen 28 and the speaker 48 perform a notification effect for notifying the result of the first ordinary hit determination. When it is determined by the first ordinary hit determination that it is the first ordinary hit, the first ordinary hit game in which the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is opened is executed. The first electric chew 12 is opened after the first ordinary symbol indicating that it is the first ordinary hit is confirmed and displayed. When a game ball wins in the opened first electric chew 12, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of winning game balls. The player advances the subsequent games by right-handed in order to make the first electric chew 12 win the game ball. The first electric chew 12 once opened is closed when any of the conditions of the predetermined opening time (hereinafter referred to as "first opening time") and the winning of four game balls are satisfied. .. The first ordinary symbol does not change during the first ordinary hit game. In FIG. 6, it is assumed that four game balls have won a prize in the opened first electric chew 12.

The first electric chew 12 is not only a winning opening for acquiring a game ball, but also an operating opening for a second ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the game ball wins the first electric chew 12, the second normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be a hit by the second ordinary hit determination (hereinafter referred to as "second ordinary hit probability") is 100%. Hereinafter, what is determined to be a hit by the second ordinary hit determination is also referred to as "second ordinary hit". The second normal hit probability does not have to be 100%, and may be less than 100%. In the present embodiment, the number of game balls that have won the first electric chew 12 (maximum number of second reserved balls) that can hold the second normal collision detection and store random numbers is "4". Is. Therefore, the second ordinary hit detection is performed up to four times, and the second ordinary hit game is also performed up to four times in response to the first ordinary hit game being performed once. The second normal symbol does not change during the second normal hit game. In the second ordinary hit determination, whether it is a second ordinary hit or an outlier is determined based on the second hit random number. Of the four second reserved balls memorized by winning four game balls in the first electric chew 12, the first second ordinary hit judgment is made for the first second reserved ball. Will be done. The second normal symbol does not change during the second normal hit game. In the second ordinary hit determination, whether it is a second ordinary hit or an outlier is determined based on the second hit random number.

When the second ordinary hit determination is performed, the second ordinary symbol displayed on the second ordinary symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24 starts to fluctuate. When the second ordinary hit determination determines that the second ordinary hit, the second ordinary hit game in which the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13 is opened is executed. The second electric chew 13 is opened after the second ordinary symbol indicating the second ordinary hit is confirmed and displayed. When a game ball wins in the opened second electric chew 13, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of winning game balls. The second electric chew 13 once opened is closed when any of the conditions of the predetermined opening time (hereinafter referred to as "second opening time") and the winning of four game balls are satisfied. .. In FIG. 6, it is assumed that four game balls win a prize during the first opening of the second electric chew 13.

The second electric chew 13 is not only a winning opening for acquiring a game ball, but also an operating opening for the third ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the game ball wins the second electric chew 13, the third normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be a hit by the third ordinary hit determination (hereinafter, referred to as "third ordinary hit probability") is 100%. Hereinafter, what is determined to be a hit by the third ordinary hit determination is also referred to as "third ordinary hit". The third normal hit probability does not have to be 100%, and may be less than 100%. In the present embodiment, the number of game balls that have won the second electric chew 13 (maximum number of third reserved balls) that can hold the third normal collision detection and store random numbers is "4". Is. Therefore, the third ordinary hit detection is performed up to four times according to the second ordinary hit game being performed once, and the third ordinary hit game is also performed up to four times. The third normal symbol does not change during the third normal hit game. In the third ordinary hit determination, whether it is the third ordinary hit or the outlier is determined based on the third ordinary hit random number. Of the four third-reserved balls memorized by winning four game balls in the second electric chew 13, the first third normal hit detection is made for the first third-reserved ball. Will be done. The third normal symbol does not change during the third normal hit game. In the third ordinary hit determination, whether it is a third hit or an outlier is determined based on the third hit random number.

When the third ordinary hit determination is performed, the third ordinary symbol displayed on the third ordinary symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24 starts to change. When the third ordinary hit determination determines that the third ordinary hit, the third ordinary hit game in which the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14 is opened is executed. Hereinafter, until the number of third reserved balls becomes "0", the change of the third normal symbol and the third normal hit game are repeatedly executed up to four times. Hereinafter, a maximum of four third ordinary hit games executed for each of the four game balls that have won the second electric chew 13 will be collectively referred to as a "series of third ordinary hit games". The third electric chew 14 is opened after the third ordinary symbol indicating the third ordinary hit is confirmed and displayed.

Hereinafter, the opening of the first electric chew 12 accompanying the first ordinary hit game, the opening of the second electric chew 13 accompanying the second ordinary hit game, and the opening of the third electric chew 14 accompanying the series of third ordinary hit games. The combination of multiple openings is called a "big hit game". One jackpot game consists of one first normal hit game, a second normal hit game that is executed up to four times in response to one first ordinary hit game, and a second that is executed up to four times. Includes a series of third normal hit games performed in response to each of the normal hit games. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the game is started by left-handed hitting, the big hit game that is started when the first normal hit determination determines that the game is the first normal hit is described below as " Also called "first hit game". In addition, a series of third ordinary hit games executed corresponding to each of the second ordinary hit game executed up to four times and the second ordinary hit game executed up to four times are combined, and in the following, Also called "RUSH game".

A game ball hit to the right while the jackpot game is being performed may pass through the fourth symbol operating gate 15. The fourth symbol actuating gate 15 is an actuating gate of the fourth normal symbol. When the game ball passes through the fourth symbol operating gate 15, the fourth normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be a hit by the fourth ordinary hit determination (hereinafter, referred to as "fourth ordinary hit probability") is about 1/60 as in the case of the first ordinary hit probability. Hereinafter, what is determined to be a hit by the fourth ordinary hit determination is also referred to as "fourth ordinary hit". In the present embodiment, the number (maximum number of 4th reserved balls) that can hold the 4th normal collision determination and store random numbers for the game balls that have passed through the 4th symbol operating gate 15 is "4. ". In the fourth ordinary hit determination, whether it is a hit or a miss is determined based on the fourth hit random number. The fourth normal hit probability may be a probability other than 1/60. The fourth ordinary hit probability may be the same as or different from the first ordinary hit probability. The pachinko machine 1 can execute the fourth normal collision determination even while the first to third normal symbols are changing.

In (1-1), in any of the fourth normal hit determinations performed in response to the game ball passing through the fourth symbol operating gate 15 during the first hit game, the determination result of loss is obtained. .. Therefore, the big hit game ends with the end of the opening / closing operation of the electric chew accompanying the first hit game.

An example of the game shown in FIG. 7 is referred to as (1-2). In (1-2), a case where the game ball is determined to be the fourth normal hit is shown when the game ball passes through the fourth symbol operating gate 15 during the first hit game. In this way, the determination of the fourth normal hit game while the jackpot game is being executed is hereinafter referred to as "ream villa hit". In the present embodiment, "fourth ordinary hit A" and "fourth ordinary hit" are added to the fourth ordinary hit type, which is the type of the fourth ordinary symbol indicating that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is the fourth ordinary hit. Two types of hits of "B" are included. When the fourth ordinary hit type of the fourth ordinary hit A is determined, the fluctuation pattern of the "hit short variation" is determined as the variation pattern of the fourth ordinary symbol. When the fourth ordinary hit type of the fourth ordinary hit B is determined, the fluctuation pattern of "hit short variation" or "hit long variation" is determined as the variation pattern of the fourth ordinary symbol. The hit short variation is a variation pattern showing a relatively short variation time (6 seconds in this embodiment). The hit long fluctuation is a fluctuation pattern showing a fluctuation time (44 seconds in this embodiment) longer than the hit short fluctuation. (1-2) is determined to be the fourth ordinary hit (per consecutive villa) during the first hit game, and the fourth ordinary hit type of the fourth ordinary hit A or the fourth ordinary hit B is determined. An example is shown when the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is determined.

In the example of (1-2), the fourth normal hit is triggered by the game ball passing through the fourth symbol operating gate 15 while the first series of third normal hit games in the first hit game is executed. It is assumed that the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is determined as a result of the determination that there is. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the first to fourth normal hit games from being played in duplicate, when any of the electric chews is open, the fluctuation time of the first to fourth normal symbols is measured. I have decided not to do it. The fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is set to be shorter than the time required to execute the RUSH game. The time required to execute the RUSH game is a series of third normal hit games performed in response to winning the second electric chew 13 in one second normal hit game and the second normal hit game. However, it is the time required to be repeated a total of 4 times. When the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation was completed and the fourth normal hit game was started, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the second normal symbol was interrupted for the second normal symbol being changed. In the state, wait while changing. Therefore, the execution of the subsequent series of third ordinary hit games is also interrupted. That is, the RUSH game associated with the first hit game is interrupted, and the fourth normal hit game is interrupted and executed for the interrupted RUSH game.

An example of the game shown in FIG. 8 is referred to as (1-3). (1-3) shows an example in which a consecutive villa is hit during the first hit game, the fourth normal hit type of the fourth normal hit B is determined, and the fluctuation pattern of the long fluctuation per hit is determined. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the hit long fluctuation is set to be longer than the time required to execute the RUSH game. Therefore, if it is determined to be the 4th normal hit during the RUSH game accompanying the first hit game and the 4th normal symbol fluctuates during the fluctuation time of the long hit fluctuation, the change of the 4th normal symbol after all the RUSH games are completed. Is finished, and then the fourth normal hit game is performed.

FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 show time charts of opening and closing operations of each electric chew and non-electric accessory in the game per consecutive villa, etc., which is executed when the game hits the consecutive villa during the first hit game. The game per consecutive villa is started when the fourth normal game is started. The game per consecutive villa includes the fourth normal hit game and the opening / closing operation of the non-electric accessory executed during the fourth normal hit game.

As described above, the fourth ordinary hit type includes various types of the fourth ordinary hit A and the fourth ordinary hit B. An example of the game shown in FIG. 9 is referred to as (2-1). In (2-1), during the first hit game, the fourth normal symbol hits and fluctuates in the fluctuation pattern of the short fluctuation, then stops and becomes a consecutive villa hit (see FIG. 7 (1-2)), and the fourth normal hit A An example of the subsequent game when the fourth normal hit type of is determined is shown.

In the present embodiment, when the fourth ordinary hit is determined and the fourth ordinary hit type of the fourth ordinary hit A is determined, the fourth ordinary hit game is executed in the above-mentioned first pattern P1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, in (2-1), the fourth normal hit game is performed in the first pattern P1 after the change of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is completed. As described above, in the fourth normal hit game in the first pattern P1, the opening and closing operation of the fourth electric power chew 16 in the time TB is performed up to five times. In the time TB, after the opening of the fourth electric power chew 16, the first non-electric accessory 17 is opened by winning one game ball in the fourth electric power chew 16, and the first non-electric accessory 17 is opened. It is provided in consideration of the time until the first non-electric accessory 17 is closed by winning one game ball. The number of prize balls paid out by the prize ball payout device 49 (see FIG. 13) when one game ball is won in the prize opening is hereinafter referred to as a unit prize ball number. In the present embodiment, when one game ball is won in each of the fourth electric power chew 16 and the first non-electric accessory 17, 15 prize balls are paid out. That is, the number of unit prize balls of the fourth electric power chew 16 and the first non-electric accessory 17 is "15". Therefore, about 30 (15 + 15 = 30) prize balls are paid out by winning the game balls accompanying the opening of the fourth electric power chew 16 and the opening of the first non-electric accessory 17 performed over the time TB.

In the first pattern P1, the opening and closing operation of the fourth electric power chew 16 is performed up to five times. One game ball can also be awarded to each of the fourth electric power chews 16 opened after the second time, and the game balls winning the fourth electric power chew 16 go to the first flow path 191A of the distribution flow paths 19. It is guided to pass through the first passage area 192, and the first non-electric accessory 17 is opened. One game ball can be won in the opened first non-electric accessory 17. Therefore, by performing the fourth normal hit game in the first pattern P1, about 150 prize balls (30 × 5 = 150) are paid out. The game including the fourth normal hit game and the opening / closing operation of the non-electric accessory performed during the fourth normal hit game is hereinafter referred to as a "bonus game". The bonus game is a series of games in which a non-electric accessory, which is another winning opening different from the one winning opening, opens due to the fact that the game ball wins in one winning opening with the opening / closing member opened. This is to reproduce the so-called ordinary machine game, which is performed in Japan, during the jackpot game of a general electric machine type game machine. The bonus game by performing the fourth normal hit game in the first pattern P1 is hereinafter referred to as "bonus game A". The expected value of the total number of prize balls paid out in the bonus game A (hereinafter referred to as the total expected number of prize balls) is "150".

If the fourth normal hit game is performed after the change of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation, the second normal symbol that has been suspended and waited after the end of the fourth normal hit game Fluctuations are resumed. When the change of the second normal symbol that has resumed the change is completed, the second normal hit game is performed. It is assumed that four game balls have won a prize in the second electric chew 13 opened in the second normal hit game. Along with this, a series of third ordinary hit games are performed. After that, the second normal hit game and a series of third normal hit games are repeated until the number of second reserved balls becomes "0". That is, the RUSH game that was interrupted in the first hit game is restarted after the end of the fourth normal hit game (bonus game) related to the game per consecutive villa. In this way, the RUSH game that is continuously performed in the bonus game is also included in the game per consecutive villa.

Since the right-handed game is continued during these bonus games and the restarted RUSH game, the fourth normal collision detection is further performed when the game ball passes through the fourth symbol operating gate 15. .. FIG. 9 shows an example in which it is determined to be out of alignment in the fourth ordinary hit determination performed after the end of the fourth ordinary hit game related to the consecutive villa hit. In this case, the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuates according to the fluctuation pattern of the deviation fluctuation described later, and then ends the fluctuation. In addition, in the fourth ordinary hit determination executed when the game ball hit right during the game per consecutive villa passes through the fourth symbol operating gate 15, it is further determined to be the fourth ordinary hit. There is also. That is, the hit of the consecutive villas can occur both during the first hit game and during the game per consecutive villas. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the big hit game ends without further hitting the consecutive villas during the game per consecutive villas.

Let (2-2) be an example of the game shown in FIG. In (2-2), during the first hit game, the fourth normal symbol hits and fluctuates in the fluctuation pattern of the short fluctuation, then stops and becomes a consecutive villa hit (see FIG. 7 (1-2)), and the fourth normal hit B An example of the subsequent game when the fourth normal hit type of is determined is shown.

In the present embodiment, when the fourth ordinary hit is determined and the fourth ordinary hit type of the fourth ordinary hit B is determined, the fourth ordinary hit game is executed in the above-mentioned second pattern P2. As shown in FIG. 10, in (2-2), after the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is completed, the fourth normal hit game is performed in the second pattern P2. As described above, in the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2, the opening and closing operation of the fourth electric power chew 16 in the time TB is performed up to five times, and then the opening and closing of the fourth electric power chew 16 in the time TD is performed. The operation is performed up to 5 times. In the time TD, after the opening of the 4th electric power chew 16, the 2nd non-electric accessory 18 is opened by winning one game ball in the 4th electric power chew 16, and the 2nd non-electric accessory 18 is opened. It is provided in consideration of the time until the second non-electric accessory 18 is closed by winning two game balls. In the present embodiment, the number of unit prize balls of the second non-electric accessory 18 is "15". Therefore, about 45 (15 + 15 × 2 = 45) prize balls are paid out by winning the game balls accompanying the opening of the fourth electric power chew 16 and the opening of the second non-electric accessory 18 performed over the time TD. ..

In the second pattern P2, the opening / closing operation of the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 over the time TB is performed up to 5 times as in the first pattern P1, and then the opening / closing operation of the Shikoku Electric Power Chu 16 over the time TD is performed up to 5 times. Will be done. Therefore, by performing the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2, about 375 prize balls (30 × 5 + 45 × 5 = 375) are paid out. The bonus game also includes the fourth normal hit game and the game including the opening / closing operation of the non-electric accessory performed during the fourth normal hit game. The bonus game by performing the fourth normal hit game in the second pattern P2 is hereinafter referred to as "bonus game B". The total expected number of prize balls paid out in the bonus game B is "375".

In the game (2-2), the RUSH game is interrupted in a state where the second normal hit game and the series of third normal hit games are repeated twice during the first normal hit game of (1-2). This is an example of a game per consecutive villa that will be started afterwards. In this case, the game per consecutive villa of (2-2) starts during the change of the second normal symbol corresponding to the third game ball winning the first electric chew 12 in the first normal hit game. Therefore, at the start of the game per consecutive villa in (2-2), the number of second reserved balls is "1". That is, at the start of the game per consecutive villa in (2-2), it is possible to hold an additional three second holding balls. In this state, the fourth normal hit game is performed in the second pattern P2, and the game ball wins the fourth electric power chew 16 in the opening of the fourth electric power chew 16 in the latter half five times, so that the number of second reserved balls Can be added by three.

Similar to the game (2-1), in the game (2-2), when the fourth normal hit game is performed after the change of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is completed, the fourth normal game is performed. After the end of the winning game, the fluctuation of the second normal symbol that has been waiting while being interrupted is resumed. After the end of the fourth ordinary hit game, the second ordinary hit game is performed after the change of the second ordinary symbol corresponding to the third game ball that won the first electric chew 12 in the first ordinary hit game is completed. Will be. It is assumed that four game balls have won a prize in the second electric chew 13 opened in this second normal hit game. Along with this, a series of third ordinary hit games are performed. After that, in the first normal hit game, the second normal symbol corresponding to the fourth game ball winning the first electric chew 12 changes, and after the change ends, the second normal hit game is performed. A series of a series of third ordinary hit games is performed according to the number of winning game balls in this second ordinary hit game. In this way, the suspended RUSH game is resumed after the end of the bonus game.

After that, in the fourth ordinary hit game of the second pattern P2, the change of the second ordinary symbol corresponding to the second reserved ball added by the game ball winning the fourth electric power chew 16 and the second ordinary hit game are performed. Will be. After that, the second normal hit game and a series of third normal hit games are repeated until the number of second reserved balls becomes "0". As a result, in addition to the restarted RUSH game, the RUSH game corresponding to the fourth reserved ball added in the fourth normal hit game is added. FIG. 10 shows an example in the case where it is determined to be out of alignment in the fourth normal hit detection performed during the consecutive villa hit game, as in FIG. 9. Therefore, when the additional RUSH game is completed, the game per consecutive villa is completed without further the game per consecutive villa (2-2).

Let (2-3) be an example of the game shown in FIG. In (2-3), during the first hit game, the fourth normal symbol hits and fluctuates in a fluctuation pattern of long fluctuation, then stops and becomes a consecutive villa hit (see FIG. 8 (1-3)), and the fourth normal hit B An example of the subsequent game when the fourth normal hit type of is determined is shown. As shown in FIG. 11, in (2-3), after the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit long fluctuation is completed, the fourth normal hit game is performed in the second pattern P2. The total expected number of prize balls to be paid out in the bonus game B in (2-3) is "375" as in the bonus game B in (2-2).

The game (2-3) is an example of a game per consecutive villa that is started after the RUSH game in the game (1-3) is completed. In this case, the fourth normal hit game is performed in the second pattern P2, and the game ball wins the fourth electric power chew 16 in the opening of the fourth electric power chew 16 in the latter half five times, so that the number of second reserved balls is reached. Can be newly memorized. Therefore, after the end of the fourth normal hit game, the second normal hit game is performed a number of times corresponding to the number of second reserved balls newly stored during the fourth normal hit game. A series of a series of third ordinary hit games is performed according to the number of winning game balls in this second ordinary hit game. Therefore, the RUSH game in which the second normal hit game and the series of third normal hit games are repeated up to four times is performed after the end of the fourth normal hit game. That is, after the RUSH game is performed without interruption in the game (1-3) triggered by the first normal hit game, the game shifts to the game (2-3) and the bonus game B is performed, and further. , Will re-enter the RUSH game.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which the fourth ordinary hit is determined in the fourth ordinary hit determination performed during the consecutive villa hit game, and the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuates based on the fluctuation pattern of the long hit variation. As described above, the fluctuation time of the hit long fluctuation is longer than the execution time of the RUSH game. Therefore, after all the re-entry RUSH games are completed, the change of the fourth normal symbol is completed, and then the fourth normal hit game is performed.

The progress pattern of the jackpot game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the progress pattern of the jackpot game of the pachinko machine 1 can be roughly divided into a pattern in which only the first hit game is performed and a pattern in which the consecutive villa hit game is performed after the first hit game. In the progress pattern in which only the first hit game is performed, the above-mentioned game (1-1) is performed. That is, after the first ordinary hit game is performed according to the determination of the first ordinary hit in the first ordinary hit determination, the RUSH game is entered, and the jackpot game ends when all the RUSH games are completed. To do.

The patterns in which the game per consecutive villa is performed after the first hit game are a pattern in which the fluctuation pattern of the fourth normal symbol that fluctuates to notify the result of the fourth normal hit determination is a hit short variation and a hit long variation. It can be roughly divided into patterns. In the pattern in which the fluctuation pattern of the fourth ordinary symbol is a hit short fluctuation, the game (1-2) described above is first performed. That is, after the first ordinary hit game is performed according to the determination of the first ordinary hit in the first ordinary hit determination, the RUSH game is entered. In response to the determination of the fourth ordinary hit in the fourth ordinary hit determination during the RUSH game, the variation pattern of the hit short variation is determined as the variation pattern of the fourth ordinary symbol. In this case, when the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol due to the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is completed, the RUSH game associated with the first hit game is interrupted, and the bonus game is interrupted and executed for the interrupted RUSH game. ..

The pattern in which the bonus game is interrupted and executed for the interrupted RUSH game can be roughly divided into a pattern in which the bonus game A is interrupted and executed and a pattern in which the bonus game B is interrupted and executed. The pattern in which the interrupted bonus game is the bonus game A is the pattern in which the above-mentioned game (2-1) is performed. In this case, the bonus game A interrupts the interrupted RUSH game and is executed, and when the bonus game A ends, the interrupted RUSH game resumes. After that, the RUSH game ends, and if it is not determined to be the fourth ordinary hit in the fourth ordinary hit determination, the big hit game consisting of the first hit game and the consecutive villa hit game ends.

Further, the pattern in which the bonus game to be interrupted is the bonus game B is the pattern in which the above-mentioned game (2-2) is performed. In this case, the bonus game B interrupts the interrupted RUSH game and is executed, and when the bonus game B ends, the interrupted RUSH game resumes. After that, when the restarted RUSH game is completed, the RUSH game is added and executed according to the number of second reserved balls additionally stored in the bonus game B. After that, the RUSH game ends, and if it is not determined to be the fourth ordinary hit in the fourth ordinary hit determination, the big hit game consisting of the first hit game and the consecutive villa hit game ends.

In both (2-1) and (2-2), the RUSH game in the first hit game is interrupted. In (2-1), the bonus game A is performed by interrupting the interrupted RUSH game. When the bonus game A ends, the remaining games of the interrupted RUSH game are executed.
On the other hand, in (2-2), the bonus game B interrupts the interrupted RUSH game. When the bonus game B ends, the remaining games of the interrupted RUSH game are executed, and then the RUSH game is further added. The total expected number of prize balls for bonus game B is larger than the total expected number of prize balls for bonus game A. Further, in (2-2), an additional RUSH game, which is not performed in (2-1), is performed. Therefore, the total expected number of prize balls when the game (2-2) is played is larger than the total expected number of prize balls when the game (2-1) is played.

Among the patterns in which the game per consecutive villa is performed after the first hit game, the pattern in which the fluctuation pattern of the fourth normal symbol that fluctuates to notify the result of the fourth normal hit determination is the hit long fluctuation is described in (1). It is a pattern in which the game of -3) is performed. In this case, the RUSH game associated with the first hit game is completed while the fourth normal symbol is changed in the fluctuation pattern of the hit long fluctuation. After the completion of the RUSH game, the bonus game B is performed. Re-entry into the RUSH game according to the number of second reserved balls additionally stored in the bonus game B. After that, the re-entry RUSH game ends, and if it is not determined to be the fourth ordinary hit in the fourth ordinary hit determination, the big hit game consisting of the first hit game and the consecutive villa hit game ends.

After the game of (1-3), the game of (2-3) is performed. In (2-3), the bonus game B is performed after the RUSH game in the first hit game is completed. Further, after the bonus game B is completed, a RUSH game is further performed. Therefore, the total expected number of prize balls when the game (2-3) is played is larger than the total expected number of prize balls when the game (2-2) is played.

Although not shown, in (2-1), (2-2) and (2-2), the fourth normal collision during the restarted RUSH game, the added RUSH game, or the re-entry RUSH game. If it is determined to be the fourth normal hit in the judgment, a game per consecutive villa is further performed. If it is determined to be the fourth normal hit and the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is determined, when the change of the fourth normal symbol ends, the bonus game A or the bonus game B interrupts the running RUSH game. Will be executed. When it is determined that the fourth normal hit is made and the fluctuation pattern of the long hit fluctuation is determined, the change of the fourth normal symbol ends after the end of the RUSH game being executed, and then the bonus game B is executed.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1, a jackpot game in which only the first hit game is performed and a jackpot game in which the consecutive villa hit game is performed in addition to the first hit game can be executed. As for the game per consecutive villa, there are cases where the RUSH game in the first hit game is interrupted and the bonus game is interrupted, and there are cases where the game per consecutive villa is performed after the RUSH game in the first hit game is completed. Of these, when the RUSH game in the first hit game is interrupted, there are a pattern in which the bonus game A is interrupted and a pattern in which the bonus game B is interrupted. As described above, since the pachinko machine 1 has a plurality of execution modes of the jackpot game, it is possible to give an unprecedented change to the operation mode of the electric chew and the non-electric accessory in the jackpot game.

The first ordinary hit relationship information storage area of the RAM 52 will be described with reference to FIG. The first ordinary hit relationship information storage area is used in the first ordinary symbol processing (see FIG. 19) of the main processing described later. A plurality of storage areas are provided in the first ordinary hit-related information storage area. In the present embodiment, the first ordinary hit-related information storage area is provided with four storage areas corresponding to the maximum number of first reserved balls. When the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11, if the number of first reserved balls due to the passage of the game ball through the first symbol operating gate 11 is less than 4 (0 to 3) among the number of reserved balls. Random numbers are stored in order from the storage area with the smallest number.

The first reserved ball number is the number of random numbers stored in a state in which the execution of the first normal collision determination is suspended among the random numbers corresponding to the game balls that have passed through the first symbol operating gate 11. Among the random numbers in the storage area that have not been processed yet, the CPU 51 uses the storage area with the smallest number as the determination area, and performs various processes such as the first normal hit determination on the random numbers stored in the determination area. When the processing related to the random numbers stored in the determination area is completed, the storage area having the next smallest number is set as the determination area, and the processing such as the first normal hit determination is repeated. The processing related to the random numbers stored in the determination area includes, for example, a notification effect for notifying the determination result of the first ordinary hit determination, and the first ordinary hit game executed when the determination result is the first ordinary hit. It is a process. The random numbers in the storage area for which processing has been completed are appropriately deleted. Various random numbers acquired together with the first ordinary hit random number and stored in the first ordinary hit relation information storage area are also collectively referred to as the first random number.

In each storage area, a first hit random number column in which the value of the first ordinary hit judgment counter is stored, a first symbol determination random number column in which the hit of the first ordinary symbol determination counter is stored, and a first fluctuation pattern determination counter. A first variation pattern determination random number column is provided in which the value of is stored. When the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11, the value of each random number acquisition counter counted at that time is stored in each column. The first hit random number is used for the first normal hit determination. The first symbol determination random number is used to determine the first ordinary symbol. The first variation pattern determination random number is used to determine the first variation pattern indicating the variation time of the first ordinary symbol displayed on the first ordinary symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24.

In the pachinko machine 1, the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol is equal to the effect time of the notification effect for notifying the player of the result of the first ordinary hit determination. The sub-control board 58 controls the notification effect according to the first variation pattern determined by the main board 41. Specifically, the main substrate 41 starts the fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol according to the first fluctuation pattern. The sub-control board 58 starts the variation display of the effect symbol in synchronization with the variation start of the first ordinary symbol. When the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol that started the fluctuation ends, the main board 41 confirmably displays the fluctuating first ordinary symbol for a predetermined time (0.8 seconds in the present embodiment). .. The sub-control board 58 confirms and displays the effect symbol in synchronization with the final display of the first ordinary symbol. Further, the sub-control board 58 executes the notification effect synchronized with the first variation pattern by the display screen 28, the speaker 48, etc. in addition to the effect design.

The first variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The first variation pattern determination table is provided with a plurality of tables according to the determination result (first ordinary hit or miss) by the first ordinary hit determination. In each table, the value of the first variation pattern determination random number (0 to 511) and the variation time of the first ordinary symbol (variation time of the notification effect) are associated with each first variation pattern. When the first normal hit determination is performed, the table corresponding to the determination result is referred to, and one variation pattern corresponding to the value of the first variation pattern determination random number acquired together with the first hit random number is determined.

If the judgment result by the first normal hit judgment is the first normal hit, "normal reach", "reach effect A", "reach effect B", "reach effect C", "reach effect D", "reach effect" In the order of "E", the rate at which the fluctuation pattern is determined increases. On the other hand, if the judgment result by the first normal collision judgment is incorrect, "normal reach", "reach effect A", "reach effect B", "reach effect C", "reach effect D", "reach effect E". , The rate at which the fluctuation pattern is determined decreases. Therefore, the expected values that the judgment result by the first normal hit judgment is the first normal hit are "normal reach", "reach effect A", "reach effect B", "reach effect C", "reach effect D", and "reach effect D". It increases in the order of "reach production E". The reach effect is a notification effect that executes an effect indicating that the determination result may be the first normal hit after the effect symbol constitutes a predetermined reach state. In the present embodiment, the "non-reach" first variation pattern corresponds to the notification effect in which the effect symbol is confirmed and displayed in a combination indicating the determination result of the deviation without reaching the reach state, and the effect ends. In the present embodiment, the "non-reach" variation pattern is determined only when the determination result by the first ordinary hit determination is out of order.

The main board 41 generates a fluctuation pattern designation command which is a command for designating the determined fluctuation pattern, and transmits the generated fluctuation pattern designation command to the sub control board 58. The sub-control board 58 executes the notification effect by controlling the display screen 28, the speaker 48, and the like according to the fluctuation pattern specified by the command. It should be noted that the effect symbol may not be used for the notification effect. Further, the main substrate 41 fluctuates the first ordinary symbol by a fluctuation time determined according to the determined fluctuation pattern.

The fourth ordinary symbol determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko machine 1 determines the fourth ordinary symbol indicating that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is a hit by referring to the fourth ordinary symbol determination table. In the present embodiment, the fourth ordinary symbol includes two types of fourth ordinary hits, "fourth ordinary hit A" and "fourth ordinary hit B". The fourth ordinary hit type is a type of the fourth ordinary symbol indicating that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is a hit.

In the fourth ordinary symbol determination table, the value (0 to 99) of the fourth symbol determination random number is associated with each of the ordinary hit types. The ratio of the fourth ordinary hit type is determined according to the value of the fourth symbol determination random number, and is 70% for "fourth ordinary hit A" and 30% for "fourth ordinary hit B".

The fourth variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The fourth variation pattern determination table is provided with a plurality of tables according to the determination result (fourth ordinary hit or miss) by the fourth ordinary hit determination. In each table, the value of the fourth variation pattern determination random number (0 to 99) and the variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol (variation time of the notification effect) are associated with each fourth variation pattern. When the first ordinary hit determination is performed, the table corresponding to the determination result is referred to, and one variation pattern corresponding to the value of the fourth variation pattern determination random number acquired together with the fourth hit random number is determined.

The fourth ordinary symbol determination table defines which of the electric chew opening patterns in the fourth ordinary hit game should be set according to the fourth ordinary hit type when the determination result is the fourth ordinary hit. The first pattern P1 is associated with the fourth ordinary hit type of "fourth ordinary hit A". The second pattern P2 is associated with the fourth ordinary hit type of "fourth ordinary hit B".

Therefore, when the fourth ordinary hit type of "second ordinary hit A" is determined when it is determined to be a hit by the fourth ordinary hit determination, the fourth ordinary hit game is executed in the first pattern P1. To. When it is determined by the fourth ordinary hit determination and the fourth ordinary hit type of "fourth ordinary hit B" is determined, the fourth ordinary hit game is executed in the second pattern P2. Therefore, when it is determined by the fourth ordinary hit detection that it is the fourth ordinary hit, the fourth ordinary hit game by the first pattern P1 is performed at a rate of 70%, and the fourth ordinary hit by the second pattern P2 is performed at a rate of 30%. Each hit game is executed. The ratios of "4th ordinary hit A" and "4th ordinary hit B" can be arbitrarily changed. Further, the pachinko machine 1 has an electric chew opening pattern other than the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2, such as an electric chew opening pattern having only the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 161 in the latter half of the second pattern P2 five times. You may be. In this case, the pachinko machine 1 may set the fourth ordinary hit type corresponding to the electric chew pattern other than the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2 in the fourth ordinary symbol determination table.

Although not shown, the ROM 53 stores the first, second, and third ordinary symbol determination tables. The pachinko machine 1 uses the first, second, and third ordinary symbols indicating that the result of the first, second, and third ordinary hit determination is a hit, and the first, second, and third ordinary symbol determination tables. Determined by reference.

Let me pay out. In the error check, when an error occurs, the error is notified using the display screen 28, the speaker 48, and the like. In the information output process, various types of information are output to the amusement park management computer (not shown).

The flags used in the main process will be described. The RAM 52 has a jackpot game state flag, a first operation end flag, a fourth operation end flag, a first fluctuation flag, a second fluctuation flag, a third fluctuation flag, a fourth fluctuation flag, a first open flag, a second open flag, The third open flag, the fourth open flag, the third normal hit game flag, etc. are stored. As for the jackpot game state flag, "1" is stored during the jackpot game and becomes "ON", and when the jackpot game is not in progress, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF". When the opening of the first electric chew 12 by the first ordinary hit (the first ordinary hit game) is completed, the first operation end flag is memorized as "1" and becomes "ON", and the first ordinary hit game If is not finished, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF". When the opening of the 4th electric power chew 16 by the 4th normal hit (the 4th normal hit game) is completed, the 4th operation end flag is memorized as "1" and becomes "ON", and the 4th normal hit game If is not finished, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF".

The first fluctuation flag is "ON" when the first normal symbol is fluctuating (during fluctuation), and "0" is stored when the first normal symbol is not fluctuating. It becomes "OFF". As for the second fluctuation flag, "1" is stored during the fluctuation of the second normal symbol and becomes "ON", and when the second normal symbol is not changing, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF". As for the third fluctuation flag, "1" is stored during the fluctuation of the third normal symbol and becomes "ON", and when the third normal symbol is not changing, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF". As for the fourth fluctuation flag, "1" is stored during the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol and becomes "ON", and when the fourth normal symbol is not changing, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF".

As for the first open flag, "1" is stored while the first electric chew 12 is open and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" while the first electric chew 12 is closed. As for the second open flag, "1" is stored while the second electric chew 13 is open and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" while the second electric chew 13 is closed. As for the third open flag, "1" is stored while the third electric chew 14 is open and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" while the third electric chew 14 is closed. As for the fourth open flag, "1" is stored while the fourth electric power chew 16 is open and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" while the fourth electric power chew 16 is closed.

The details of the first ordinary symbol processing (see S14 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. When the first normal symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the game ball has passed through the first symbol operating gate 11 (S31). When the first symbol actuating gate switch 61 provided on the first symbol actuating gate 11 detects the passage of the game ball, it corresponds to the first symbol actuating gate switch 61 in the switch reading process (see S11 and FIG. 18) of the main process. The flag to be turned on is "ON". If this flag is not "ON", it is determined that the game ball has not passed (S31: NO), and the process proceeds to the determination of S41. If the flag is "ON" and the game ball has passed through the first symbol operating gate 11 (S31: YES), it is determined whether the number of first reserved balls is "4" (S32). .. If the number of first reserved balls is "4" (S32: YES), the number of first reserved balls has reached the maximum number of first reserved balls, so the process proceeds to the determination of S41.

If the number of first reserved balls is not "4" (S32: NO), "1" is added to the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S33). Next, the first ordinary hit random number and the first fluctuation pattern determination random number are acquired as the first reserved random numbers, and among the empty storage areas in the first ordinary hit relationship information storage area (see FIG. 14), the storage area with the smallest number Is stored in (S35). Specifically, the value of the first ordinary hit determination counter is stored in the first ordinary hit random number column, and the value of the first fluctuation pattern determination counter is stored in the first variation pattern determination random number column. As the first reserved random number, other kinds of random numbers such as the first ordinary symbol determination random number used for determining the first ordinary symbol may be included. The process shifts to S41.

Then, it is determined whether all the electric chews are closed (S41). If any of the first to fourth open flags is "ON", it is determined that one of the electric chews is open (S41: NO), and the process returns to the main process. For example, if it becomes the first ordinary hit and then the second ordinary hit or the third ordinary hit, the first electric chew 12, the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 are opened in the big hit game. It will be. Pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the 1st to 4th ordinary symbols when any of the electric chews is open, so that the 1st to 4th ordinary hit games are duplicated. I try not to be broken.

If all of the first to fourth open flags are "OFF", it is determined that all the electric chews are closed (S41: YES), and it is determined whether the first ordinary symbol is changing. (S42). If the first fluctuation flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first normal symbol is not changing (S42: NO), and it is determined whether the number of first reserved balls is "1" or more (S43). .. If the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is "0" (S43: NO), the process returns to the main process.

When the number of first reserved balls is "1" or more (S43: YES), the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is subtracted by "1" (S45). The determination area of the first ordinary hit relationship information storage area (see FIG. 14) is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S46). Next, the first normal collision determination is performed (S48). The first ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the first ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of first ordinary hit random numbers corresponding to "first ordinary hit" and "missing" are defined. The first ordinary hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the first ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S46 corresponds to "first ordinary hit" or "missing". As a result, the first ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined first ordinary hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the first ordinary hit random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the first ordinary hit determination, the first ordinary hit probability (about 1/60) is determined as the first ordinary hit.

Next, the first variation pattern determination table (see FIG. 15) is referred to, and one of the first variation patterns according to the determination result of the first ordinary hit determination is determined by the value of the first variation pattern determination random number. A first variation pattern specification command for designating the determined first variation pattern is generated (S53). The generated first variation pattern designation command is stored in the RAM 52. The stored first variation pattern designation command is transmitted to the sub-control board 58 and the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time, and the notification effect is started and the first Instructs the start of fluctuation of the normal symbol. The fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol determined according to the determined first fluctuation pattern is set in the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter (S55). "1" indicating that the first ordinary symbol is changing is stored in the first fluctuation flag and becomes "ON" (S56), and the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, in the determination of S42, if the first variation flag is "ON", it is determined that the first ordinary symbol is changing (S42: YES), and the first ordinary symbol variation set in the process of S55. 4 ms is subtracted from the value of the time counter (S61). Next, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol has elapsed based on the value of the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter (S62). If the value of the first normal symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the first normal symbol has not yet elapsed (S62: NO), and the fluctuation of the first normal symbol is continued. The process returns to the main process. If the value of the first normal symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", the first normal symbol stop command is generated (S63), assuming that the fluctuation time of the first normal symbol has elapsed (S62: YES), and the RAM 52. Is remembered in. This command is transmitted to the sub-control board 58 and the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18), and instructs the end of the notification effect and the stop of the fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol. “0” indicating that the first normal symbol is not changing is stored in the first fluctuation flag and becomes “OFF” (S65).

Next, it is determined whether the result of the first hit determination performed in S48 is the first ordinary hit (S66). If the result of the first normal hit determination is incorrect (S66: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit (S66: YES), the jackpot game state flag is set to "ON" (S68), and the first operation end flag is set to "OFF" (S69). The process returns to the main process.

The details of the first ordinary electric accessory processing (see S13 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. When the first ordinary electric accessory processing is started, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game is in progress (S71). If the jackpot game status flag is "OFF", it is determined that the jackpot game is not in progress (S71: NO), and the process returns to the main process. If the jackpot game status flag is "ON", it is determined that the jackpot game is in progress (S71: YES), and it is determined whether the first normal hit game is completed (S72). If the first operation end flag is "ON", it is determined that the first normal hit game is completed (S72: YES), and the process returns to the main process.

If the first operation end flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first normal hit game has not ended (S72: NO), and control regarding the first normal hit game is performed. First, it is determined whether the first electric chew 12 is open (S73). If the first open flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first electric chew 12 is closed (S73: NO), and a first electric chew open command for opening the first electric chew 12 is generated. (S91) and stored in the RAM 52. The first electric chew release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The first electric chew solenoid 64, which has received the first electric chew opening command via the relay board 47, opens the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12. Next, the first opening time is stored in the first opening time counter (S92). Next, the first open flag is set to "ON" (S93), and the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, if the first open flag is "ON", the first electric chew 12 is open (S73: YES), so that the processing of the game ball that won the first electric chew 12 and the first electric chew 12 Processing is performed to close the. First, it is determined whether the first opening time has elapsed (S75). If the value of the first opening time counter set in the process of S86 is not "0", it is determined that the first opening time has not yet elapsed (S75: NO), and the game ball is sent to the first electric chew 12. Is determined whether the prize has been won (S76). When the flag corresponding to the first electric chew switch 71 is "OFF", it is determined that the game ball has not won the first electric chew 12 (S76: NO), and the processing is determined by S79. Move to.

On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the first electric chew switch 71 is "ON", it is determined that the game ball has won the first electric chew 12 (S76: YES). Therefore, "1" is added to the first winning ball number counter of the RAM 52, which counts the number of first winning balls, which is the number of game balls winning in the first electric chew 12 (S78). Next, it is determined whether the number of first winning balls is "4" or more (S79). If the number of first winning balls is less than "4" (S79: NO), the first electric chew 12 is continuously released, so that the process returns to the main process.

When the number of first winning balls is "4" or more (S79: YES), or when the first opening time has elapsed (S75: YES), the first electric chew is closed to close the first electric chew 12. A command is generated (S81). The generated first electric chew closing command is stored in the RAM 52, and is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. Upon receiving the first electric chew release command via the relay board 47, the first electric chew solenoid 64 closes the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12. Next, "0" is stored in the first open flag and becomes "OFF" (S82), and "1" is stored in the first operation end flag and becomes "ON" (S83). The process returns to the main process.

The details of the fourth ordinary symbol processing (see S16 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. 21. When the fourth normal symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the game ball has passed through the fourth symbol operating gate 15 (S101).

If the number of second reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is "0" (S185: NO), the second normal symbol is not changed and the process returns to the main process.

When the number of second reserved balls is "1" or more (S185: YES), the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is subtracted by "1" (S191). The determination area of the second ordinary hit-related information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S192). Then, the second normal collision determination is performed (S193). The second ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the second ordinary hit determination table. The second ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the second ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of the second ordinary hit random numbers corresponding to "second ordinary hit" and "missing" are defined. The second ordinary hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the second ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S172 corresponds to "second ordinary hit" or "missing". As a result, the second ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined second ordinary hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the second ordinary hit random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the second ordinary hit determination, the second ordinary hit probability (100%) is determined as the second ordinary hit.

Next, a second normal symbol fluctuation start command for starting the fluctuation of the second normal symbol is generated (S195) and stored in the RAM 52. The second normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (see S10 and FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts to change the second normal symbol. Next, a predetermined variation time of the second ordinary symbol (in this embodiment, 4 seconds when the number of second reserved balls is "3", 10 seconds when the number of second reserved balls is "2" or less). Is set in the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter (S196). “1” indicating that the second normal symbol is changing is stored in the second fluctuation flag and becomes “ON” (S198), and the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, in the judgment of S182, if the second fluctuation flag is "ON", it is determined that the second normal symbol is changing (S182: YES), and the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter set in S196 4 ms is subtracted from the value of (S201). Next, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the second normal symbol has elapsed based on the value of the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter (S202). If the value of the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the second normal symbol has not yet elapsed (S202: NO), and the fluctuation of the second normal symbol is continued. The process returns to the main process. If the value of the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the second normal symbol has elapsed (S202: YES), and the fluctuation of the second normal symbol is stopped. The second normal symbol stop command is generated (S203) and stored in the RAM 52. The second normal symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (see S10 and FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the fluctuation of the second normal symbol. Next, "0" indicating that the second normal symbol is not changing is stored in the second fluctuation flag and becomes "OFF" (S205).

Next, it is determined whether the result of the second hit determination performed in S193 is the second ordinary hit (S206). If the result of the second normal hit determination is incorrect (S206: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the second ordinary hit determination is the second ordinary hit (S206: YES), the second electric chew release command for opening the second electric chew 13 is generated (S211) and stored in the RAM 52. The second electric chew release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65, which has received the second electric chew opening command via the relay board 47, opens the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, the second opening time is stored in the second opening time counter (S212). Next, "1" is stored in the second open flag and set to "ON" (S213), and the process returns to the main process.

The details of the second ordinary electric accessory processing (see S17 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. 24. When the processing of the second ordinary electric accessory is started, it is determined whether the second electric chew 13 is open (S221). If the second open flag is "OFF", the second electric chew 13 is closed (S221: NO), so the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, if the second open flag is "ON", the second electric chew 13 is open (S221: YES), so that the processing of the game ball that has won the second electric chew 13 and the second electric chew 13 are processed. Processing is performed to close the. First, it is determined whether the second opening time has elapsed (S222). If the value of the second opening time counter set in S212 (see FIG. 23) is not "0", it is determined that the second opening time has not yet elapsed (S222: NO), and the second electric chew 13 It is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize (S223). When the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "OFF", it is determined that the game ball has not won the second electric chew 13 (S223: NO), and the processing is determined by S226. Move to.

When the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "ON", it is determined that the game ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S223: YES.) Therefore, the second electric chew 13 is reached. "1" is added to the second winning ball number counter of the RAM 52, which counts the number of second winning balls, which is the number of winning game balls (S225). Next, it is determined whether the number of second winning balls is "4" or more (S226). If the number of second winning balls is less than "4" (S226: NO), the second electric chew 13 is continuously released, so that the process returns to the main process.

Further, when the number of second winning balls is "4" or more (S226: YES), or when the second opening time has elapsed (S222: YES), the second electric chew is closed to close the second electric chew 13. A command is generated (S228) and stored in the RAM 52. The second electric chew closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65, which has received the second electric chew release command via the relay board 47, closes the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, "0" is stored in the second open flag and becomes "OFF" (S229), and the process returns to the main process.

The details of the third ordinary symbol processing (see S20 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. 25. When the third ordinary symbol processing is started, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S231). When the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "OFF", it is determined that the game ball has not won the second electric chew 13 (S231: NO), and the processing is determined by S241. Move to.

On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "ON", it is determined that the game ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S231: YES), and the number of third reserved balls is "". 4 ”is determined (S232). If the number of third reserved balls is "4" (S232: YES), the number of third reserved balls has reached the maximum number of third reserved balls, so the process proceeds to the determination of S241. If the number of third reserved balls is not "4" (S232: NO), "1" is added to the number of third reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S233). Next, the third random number is acquired and stored in the storage area having the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the third ordinary hit relationship information area (S235). The process shifts to the determination of S241.

Then, it is determined whether all the electric chews are closed (S241). If at least one of the first to fourth open flags is "ON", it is determined that one of the electric chews is open (S241: NO), and the process returns to the main process. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the third normal symbol while any of the electric chews is open.

On the other hand, if any of the first to fourth open flags is "OFF", it is determined that all the electric chews are closed (S241: YES), and whether the third ordinary symbol is changing. It is determined (S242). If the third fluctuation flag is "OFF", it is determined that the third normal symbol is not changing (S242: NO), and it is determined whether the number of third reserved balls is "1" or more (S245). .. When the number of third reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S245: YES), the number of third reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is subtracted by "1" (S251). The determination area of the third ordinary hit-related information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S252).

Next, the third normal collision determination is performed (S253). The third ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the third ordinary hit determination table. The third ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the third ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of the third ordinary hit random numbers corresponding to "third ordinary hit" and "missing" are defined. The third ordinary hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the third ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S252 corresponds to "third ordinary hit" or "missing". As a result, the third ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined third ordinary hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the third ordinary hit random number is stored. In addition, in this embodiment, in this embodiment, in the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit probability (100%) is determined as the third ordinary hit.

Next, a third normal symbol fluctuation start command for starting the fluctuation of the third normal symbol is generated (S255) and stored in the RAM 52. The third normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (see S10 and FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts the fluctuation of the third ordinary symbol. Next, a predetermined variation time of the third ordinary symbol (2 seconds in the present embodiment) is set in the third ordinary symbol variation time counter (S256). “1” indicating that the third normal symbol is changing is stored in the third fluctuation flag and becomes “ON” (S258), and the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, in the judgment of S242, if the third fluctuation flag is "ON", it is determined that the third normal symbol is changing (S242: YES), and the third normal symbol fluctuation time counter set in S256 4 ms is subtracted from the value of (S271). Next, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol has elapsed based on the value of the third ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter (S272). If the value of the third normal symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the third normal symbol has not yet elapsed (S272: NO), and the fluctuation of the third normal symbol is continued. The process returns to the main process.

If the value of the third normal symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is assumed that the fluctuation time of the third normal symbol has elapsed (S272: YES), and the third normal symbol for stopping the fluctuation of the third normal symbol is stopped. A symbol stop command is generated (S273) and stored in the RAM 52. The third normal symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (see S10 and FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the fluctuation of the third normal symbol. Next, "0" indicating that the third ordinary symbol is not changing is stored in the third fluctuation flag and becomes "OFF" (S274).

Next, it is determined whether the result of the third hit determination performed in S253 is the third ordinary hit (S275). If the result of the third normal hit determination is incorrect (S275: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the third ordinary hit determination is the third ordinary hit (S275: YES), a third electric chew release command for opening the third electric chew 14 is generated (S276). The generated third electric chew release command is stored in the RAM 52, and is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. The third electric chew solenoid 66, which has received the third electric chew opening command via the relay board 47, opens the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, the third opening time is stored in the third opening time counter (S277). Next, "1" is stored in the third open flag and set to "ON" (S278), and the process returns to the main process.

The details of the third ordinary electric accessory processing (see S19 and FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG. 26. When the processing of the third ordinary electric accessory is started, it is determined whether the third electric chew 14 is open (S282). If the third open flag is "OFF", it is determined that the third electric chew 14 is closed (S282: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

On the other hand, if the third open flag is "ON", the third electric chew 14 is open (S281: YES), so that the processing of the game ball that won the third electric chew 14 and the third electric chew 14 are processed. Processing is performed to close the. First, it is determined whether the third opening time has elapsed (S282). If the value of the third opening time counter set in S277 (see FIG. 25) is not "0", it is determined that the second opening time has not yet elapsed (S282: NO), and the third electric chew 14 It is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize (S283). When the flag corresponding to the third electric chew switch 73 is "OFF", it is determined that the game ball has not won the third electric chew 14 (S283: NO), and the processing is determined by S285. Move to.

When the flag corresponding to the third electric chew switch 73 is "ON", it is determined that the game ball has won the third electric chew 14 (S283: YES.) Therefore, the third electric chew 14 is reached. "1" is added to the third winning ball number counter of the RAM 52, which counts the number of third winning balls, which is the number of winning game balls (S284). Next, it is determined whether the number of third winning balls is "7" or more (S285). If the number of third winning balls is less than "7" (S285: NO), the third electric chew 14 is continuously released, so that the process returns to the main process.

Further, when the number of third winning balls is "7" or more (S285: YES), or when the third opening time has elapsed (S282: YES), the third electric chew is closed to close the third electric chew 14. A command is generated (S286) and stored in the RAM 52. The third electric chew closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 18) of the main process to be executed next time. Upon receiving the third electric chew release command via the relay board 47, the third electric chew solenoid 66 closes the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, "0" is stored in the third open flag and becomes "OFF" (S287), and the process returns to the main process.

When the fourth normal hit determination is made due to the game ball passing through the fourth symbol operating gate 15 during the first hit game, the fourth normal symbol fluctuates during the first hit game. When the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is the fourth ordinary hit, the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuates based on the fluctuation pattern of either the hit short variation or the hit long variation. The fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the hit short fluctuation is set to be shorter than the time required to execute the RUSH game. Therefore, if the 4th normal symbol fluctuates due to a short fluctuation during the first hit game, the 4th normal symbol stops fluctuating in the middle of the RUSH game, and after the fluctuation of the 4th normal symbol stops, the 4th normal hit game is performed. Will be. That is, the RUSH game associated with the first hit game is interrupted, and the fourth normal hit game is interrupted and executed for the interrupted RUSH game. On the other hand, the fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the hit long fluctuation is set to be longer than the time required to execute the RUSH game. Therefore, when the fourth normal symbol fluctuates due to the long fluctuation of the hit during the first hit game, the fluctuation of the fourth normal symbol ends after all the RUSH games are completed, and then the fourth normal hit game is performed. As described above, since the hit short variation and the hit long variation are provided as the variation patterns of the fourth ordinary symbol, the execution mode of the RUSH game is changed. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can further diversify the operating modes of the electric chew and the non-electric accessory in the jackpot game, and can generate an unprecedented interest.
