Description

The present invention relates to a ball game machine, particularly a ball game machine having a function called a small hit rush.

In the conventional ball game machine (pachinko machine), when the game ball enters the starting port, the special symbol changes, and whether or not the game is a big hit is determined. After that, a special symbol is confirmed and displayed to notify the result of the hit / fail judgment, and if the result of the judgment is a big hit, the game is generally shifted to a big hit game which is advantageous for winning a prize ball.

In this type of pachinko machine, as a gaming state that is advantageous for the player after the end of the big hit game, a high-probability gaming state (probability fluctuation state, simply , Also called probabilistic state). Further, there is also a gaming machine configured so that small hits occur frequently in a probabilistic state, and the number of balls held by the player gradually increases by entering the ball into the large winning opening opened at the time of the small hit. It has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

Such a specification is called a small hit rush, and each time a small hit occurs, the number of balls held increases. Furthermore, the later the big hit occurs in the probabilistic state, the more prize balls are given by the small hit, so the small hit rush has gained the support of the players.

In addition, the ordinary electric accessory is not arranged at the upstream position of the large winning opening, and when the ordinary electric accessory is closed, the game ball flowing downstream from the ordinary electric accessory reaches the large winning opening. The configuration is desirable.
In addition, when the support state is set together with the high-probability game state after the jackpot game ends, the number of times the support state is continued is less than the number of times the high-probability game state is continued, and the support state is set according to the progress of the game. It is desirable that the high-probability gaming state is continued after the end of. In this case, in the high-probability gaming state and the non-supported state of the normal electric accessory, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is shorter in the high-probability gaming state than in the low-probability gaming state, and a small hit of the second special symbol. Since the probability of being determined to be a big hit is higher than the probability of being determined to be a big hit, a small hit game can be frequently acquired by playing a game in the second game area. In addition, since the open time of the normal electric accessory is not long because it is in the non-support state, it does not interfere with the entry of the ball into the large winning opening in the small hit game, and the prize ball of the small hit game can be obtained.

In such a ball game machine having a small hit rush game configuration in which a small hit game is frequently executed in a high-probability game state and in a non-supported state of an ordinary electric accessory, the player should increase the number of balls held. You will want to move to a small hit rush that is possible. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the number of continuations of the support state of the ordinary electric accessory is changed according to the condition at the time of the big hit, the high-probability gaming state after the big hit game and the support state of the ordinary electric accessory are supported. It is possible to give the player a feeling of expectation of how quickly the small hit rush can be made, a feeling of expectation for the continuation of the small hit rush, and a feeling of expectation for the subsequent big hit. Furthermore, it is possible to give the player the enjoyment of being able to increase the number of balls held even if a big hit does not occur in the high-probability gaming state. In addition, the support state of the ordinary electric accessory can be given a new playability such that the smaller the number of continuations is, the more advantageous it is. Therefore, it is possible to add fun to the game composition related to the small hit rush and realize a ball game machine with a rich interest.

The invention according to claim 2
In the ball game machine according to claim 1,

Further, in the game area, the center case 200 is mounted at a position substantially above the center. As a result, the game area 20 includes a left-handed game area L (corresponding to the first game area described in the claims) in which a game ball launched with a firing power less than a predetermined force is likely to flow down. It is divided into a right-handed game area R (corresponding to the second game area described in the claims) in which a game ball launched with a firing power equal to or higher than a predetermined force is likely to flow down. A large number of game nails and windmills are planted in the game area 20.

The center case 200 is provided with an LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 46 (not shown as a whole) in the center. The center case 200 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp gutter, a stage, and the like as well as well-known ones.

Immediately below the center case 200, there is a first special symbol start port 23 (first start port described in the claims) of the first special symbol (hereinafter, simply referred to as the first special symbol) capable of constantly entering (winning) a ball. (Equivalent to) is installed. A game ball flowing down a warp gutter or the like of the center case 200 from the left-handed game area L can easily enter the first special figure start port 23. The first special figure start port 23 is a ball entry port that causes the hit / fail determination of the first special figure to be executed by entering the ball. By entering the first special figure start port 23, a plurality of types of random numbers such as a random number for determining the jackpot of the first special figure, a random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the first special figure, and a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the first special figure are generated. It is extracted and used for judgment of success or failure. Up to four reserved memories of the first special figure are stored. Based on these reserved memories, the hit / fail judgment of the first special figure is executed, and the result is a big hit or a loss judgment.
Further, a plurality of general winning openings 27 are arranged in the left-handed game area L.

Take control.

The launch control device 44 is input with detection signals such as a launch stop switch 524 for stopping launch and a touch switch 525 for detecting that the player is in contact (operation) with the launch handle 14. The launch control device responds to a command (reflecting the signal of the touch switch 525 and the game situation) sent from the main control device 40 via the payout control device 41, a rotation signal of the launch handle 14, and a signal of the launch stop switch 524. In response, the launch motor 526 is controlled to launch and stop the game ball.

The sub-integrated control device 42 includes a volume control switch. The operation signal of the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 is input to the sub-integrated control device 42.
The sub-integrated control device 42 drives the speaker 112 to output sound, and controls the lighting and extinguishing of various LEDs and various lamps 113. Further, a command for displaying a character or the like or displaying a pseudo-effect symbol of a special symbol is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43.
The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes the effect symbol display device 46 together with the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display on the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 46 in response to a command sent from the sub-integrated control device 42.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. When the game ball enters the pachinko machine 1 at the normal drawing operation gate 21, a lottery for the normal drawing is carried out. Along with this, the normal symbol display device 29 starts the variable display of the normal figure, and according to the mode of the normal figure stopped after a predetermined time, if it is won, the normal electric accessory solenoid 511 is driven to drive the general electric accessory 22. By opening the solenoid door 221 of the above, it is possible to enter the ball into the second special drawing start port 24. In the pachinko machine 1, the opening time of the general electric accessory 22 is 1 second (1 time) in the normal state, and 8 seconds (1 time) in the general electric support state described later, which is advantageous for the player. It should be noted that the second special figure start port 24 has a configuration in which a game ball cannot enter unless a general electric accessory is driven.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1, the hit / fail determination of the first special figure is executed due to the entry of the game ball into the first special figure start port 23, and it is determined whether the pachinko machine 1 is a big hit or a loss. Then, the fluctuation of the symbol is started in the first special symbol display device 28A with the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct, the fluctuation is stopped after a predetermined time, and the symbol is confirmed and displayed.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 is subjected to the hit / fail determination of the second special figure due to the entry of the game ball into the second special figure start port 24, and it is determined whether it is a big hit, a small hit, or a loss. NS. Then, the fluctuation of the symbol is started in the second special symbol display device 28B with the determination of the validity of the second special symbol, the fluctuation is stopped after a predetermined time, and the symbol is confirmed and displayed.

Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 1, the hit / fail judgment of the first special figure and the hit / fail judgment of the second special figure are executed according to the entry into the first special figure start port 23 and the second special figure start port 24, respectively. Therefore, the first special figure and the second special figure can be changed at the same time.
In the pachinko machine 1, since the fluctuation and confirmation display of the first special figure and the second special figure are only displayed small in the state notification unit of the game board 2A, the effect symbol display provided in the center of the game area 20 is provided. The device 46 performs a pseudo-effect display using a pseudo-effect symbol corresponding to the first special figure or the second special figure, and notifies the player of the result of the winning / failing determination on the pseudo-effect display. For example, in the pseudo-effect display, the three pseudo-effect symbols are varied, and when the three symbols stop at the same symbol, a big hit is obtained. As a pseudo effect display, a reach effect is implemented in which two symbols stop at the same symbol, and the player's expectation is raised depending on whether or not the remaining fluctuating symbols stop at the same symbol.

In the pachinko machine 1, when the first special figure and the second special figure are fluctuating at the same time, in the pseudo-effect display performed by the effect symbol display device 46, the pachinko machine 1 becomes the main body according to the current game situation. It is configured to carry out an effect corresponding to the fluctuation of either one special drawing or the second special drawing. For example, in a state where a left-handed game in which it is more advantageous to aim at the first special figure start port 23 is recommended depending on the game situation, the effect symbol display device 46 performs a pseudo effect display corresponding to the first special figure. do. On the other hand, in a state where a right-handed game in which it is more advantageous to aim at the second special figure start port 24 is recommended, the effect symbol display device 46 performs a pseudo effect display corresponding to the second special figure.
When the first special figure and the second special figure fluctuate at the same time, the other special figure is small in the corner of the display screen while the effect symbol display device 46 is performing the pseudo effect display of the main special figure. The effect display corresponding to the start of the fluctuation of the figure and the effect display corresponding to the end of the change of the other special figure may be displayed.

If the result of the determination of whether or not the first special figure or the second special figure is correct is a big hit according to the confirmed mode of the first special figure or the second special figure, the pachinko machine 1 activates the special electric door 251 and determines the predetermined value. In the opening mode of the above, the big winning opening 25 is opened, and a big hit game is carried out in which the game ball can enter the big winning opening 25. As a big hit game, for example, a round game in which the big winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined opening mode is performed for 10 rounds.

If the result of the second special figure hit / fail determination is a small hit according to the confirmed display mode of the second special figure, the pachinko machine 1 operates the special electric door 251 to open the special electric door 251 in the same manner as in the big hit game. At, the large winning opening 25 is opened, and a small hit game is carried out in which a game ball can be inserted into the large winning opening 25. In the small hit game, for example, an opening operation of opening the large winning opening 25 for 1.6 seconds is executed once.

The pachinko machine 1 is configured as a probability variable machine. Specifically, in the game by the pachinko machine 1, in the game state in which the big winning opening 25 is closed, the probability of becoming a big hit of the first special figure or the second special figure is low, and the normal probability state is compared with the normal probability state. It is divided into a high-probability gaming state (probability variable gaming state), which is an advantageous state for the player (the probability of becoming a big hit is high and it is easy to make a big hit).

In the pachinko machine 1, after the jackpot game is completed, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probabilistic gaming state according to the jackpot symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure determined according to the winning / failing determination that causes the jackpot game. NS. The probabilistic game state continues until the next big hit occurs.

In addition, the pachinko machine 1 has a high probability of winning at the time of determining whether or not the pachinko machine is successful, depending on the jackpot symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure, as the pachinko machine 1 shifts to the probabilistic game state. A pachinko support function (time saving function / opening extension function in the figure) is provided, which shortens the time and extends the opening time of the pachinko machine. In this normal power support state, a big hit occurs until or during the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times, 60 times, 30 times) the number of symbol fluctuations accompanying the judgment of whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are correct or not. Will continue until.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 is in a normal probability state according to the jackpot symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure, but the winning probability at the time of determining whether or not the normal figure is correct is considered to be high, and the fluctuation time of the normal figure is high. Will be shortened and the opening time of the pachinko machine will be extended. This normal electric support state is continued until the number of symbol fluctuations associated with the determination of whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are correct reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) or until a big hit occurs during this period.

Various setting contents, operation contents, symbols, and the like of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 7.
As shown in FIG. 6, the jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 1 is "1/319.7" in the normal probability state and "75.3 minutes" in the probabilistic game state in both the first special figure and the second special figure. It is said to be 1 ".
The pachinko machine 1 does not make a small hit determination in the hit / fail determination of the first special figure. The small hit probability in the second special figure is set to "1/1.003" regardless of the normal probability state or the probabilistic game state.

The winning probability of the pachinko machine 1 in the normal drawing is set to "1/60" in the normal probability state, and set to "1/1.00" in the probabilistic game state or the normal power support state.
In the pachinko machine 1, the rate at which a jackpot occurs and the gaming state immediately after executing the jackpot game becomes a probability variation game state (referred to as a high probability state entry rate or a probability variation grant rate) is the first special figure and the second special figure. It is said to be 65%. The probabilistic game state continues until the next big hit occurs.
When the pachinko machine 1 is provided with the normal power support function, either 100 times, 60 times, or 30 times is selected as the number of times the normal power support state is continued, and the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is selected. The pachinko support status is continued until the selected number of continuations is reached.

In the pachinko machine 1, when the normal drawing is won in the normal electric support state, the second special drawing start port 24 composed of the general electric accessory 22 is opened once for 8 seconds. Further, in the non-normal power support state, the second special figure start port 24 is opened once for 1 second (when the change flag is set).

In the pachinko machine 1, when a big hit of the first special figure or the second special figure occurs, a big hit game is performed at the big winning opening 25. In the big hit game, 10 rounds of round games in which the big winning opening 25 is opened are performed.

In the pachinko machine 1, when the small hit of the second special figure occurs, the small hit game is performed at the large winning opening 25. In the small hit game, the big winning opening 25 is opened once for 1.6 seconds.

In the pachinko machine 1, the first special figure (denoted as special 1 in the figure), the second special figure (special 2), and the general drawing are set to a maximum of four reserved storages, respectively.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 has a configuration in which the symbol variation of the first special figure and the symbol variation of the second special figure can be changed at the same time. If the second special figure becomes a small hit during the simultaneous fluctuation, the other fluctuation is interrupted until the small hit game is completed. Further, when one of the first special figure or the second special figure becomes a big hit, the fluctuation of the other is forcibly ended with a loss.

In the pachinko machine 1, the fluctuation time of the normal map is set to 2 seconds in the normal probability state and the non-normal power support state. In the normal power support state, it is set to 0.5 seconds.
In the normal probability state and the non-normal power support state (also referred to as the normal game state), the average fluctuation time of the first special figure is set to 10 seconds. The average fluctuation time of the second special figure is set to 180 seconds.
In the normal probability state and the normal electric support state, the average fluctuation time of the first special figure is set to 8 seconds. The average fluctuation time of the second special figure is set to 3 seconds.
The average fluctuation time of the first special figure is set to 8 seconds in the probabilistic game state and the normal electric support state. The average fluctuation time of the second special figure is set to 2 seconds.
The average fluctuation time of the first special figure is set to 8 seconds in the probabilistic game state and the non-normal electric support state. The average fluctuation time of the second special figure is set to 2 seconds.

Next, the prize ball will be described. The prize balls of the first special figure start port 23 are set to "3" for each entry ball. The prize balls of the second special figure start port 24 are set to "1" for each entry. The prize balls of the large prize opening 25 are set to "15" for each prize. The specified number of winnings of the big winning opening 25 in the big hit game is set to "10".
The number of prize balls in the general winning opening 27 is set to "10" for each winning ball.

The pachinko machine 1 configured in this way can easily aim to enter the second special figure starting port 24 through a game of hitting a normal figure in a right-handed game. However, in the normal gaming state, which is the normal probability state and the non-normal power support state, the fluctuation time of the second special figure is 180 seconds. For this reason, even if the second special figure big hit game or small hit game is aimed at in the right-handed game, the fluctuation time is as long as 180 seconds, so the number of fluctuations of the second special figure per unit time is small, and the time efficiency is very high. Badly, the hit game of the second special figure cannot be expected.

On the other hand, since the fluctuation time of the normal gaming state of the first special figure is 10 seconds on average, the hit / fail determination of the first special figure can be performed a plurality of times in 180 seconds. For example, the hit / fail judgment of the first special symbol a plurality of times may change depending on the skill of the player, the occurrence of the hold memory of the first special symbol, etc., but the hit / fail judgment is performed many times more than once every 180 seconds. Is performed. Therefore, in the normal game state (normal probability and non-genuine support), the player aims at the first special figure start port 23 in the left-handed game to acquire the big hit of the first special figure, and further, after the big hit game is completed. The game will be played with the aim of acquiring the probabilistic game state.

On the other hand, in the probabilistic game state or the normal electric support state, the right-handed game is performed. For example, in the normal probability state and the Fuden support state, since the fluctuation time of the Fuzu is 0.5 seconds, the number of fluctuations of the Fuzu per unit time increases, so that a game per Fuzu can be expected and the Fuden role Since the opening time of the object is extended, it can be expected that the ball will enter the second special figure starting port 24. In this way, in the Fuden support state, the fluctuation time of the Fuden map is short and the opening time of the Fuden accessory 22 is long. It is a configuration that does not allow it to flow down toward 25.
In addition, in the non-genuine support and probabilistic game state, since the fluctuation time of the second special figure is 2 seconds, the number of fluctuations of the second special figure per unit time increases, so that the big hit and small hit games of the second special figure increase. Can be expected. In particular, since the small hit probability is high, it can be expected that small hit games will occur frequently. A state in which a small hit game frequently occurs in this probabilistic game state is referred to as a small hit rush (denoted as RUSH in the figure). In this way, in the non-general support state, the opening time of the general electric accessory 22 is shorter than that in the general electric support state, and a game ball that flows down to the large winning opening 25 side is likely to occur, so that a small hit is made. When it occurs, it is possible to easily win a prize in the large winning opening 25.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a jackpot symbol used in determining whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure of the pachinko machine 1 are correct or not will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, as the jackpot symbols of the first special figure, "special figure 1_10R probability variation A symbol", "special diagram 1_10R probability variation B symbol", "special diagram 1_10R normal A symbol" and "special diagram 1_10R normal B symbol". , And any one of them is set at the time of the big hit of the first special figure. "Special Figure 1_10R Probability Change A Design", "Special Figure 1_10R Probability Change B Design", "Special Figure 1_10R Normal A Design" and "Special Figure 1_10R Normal B Design" are 20% respectively according to the random number for determining the jackpot symbol. It is determined at a rate of 45%, 20% and 15%.
In addition, "R" means a round, "normal" means that the jackpot probability after the jackpot game ends is "normal probability", and "probability change" means that the jackpot probability after the jackpot game ends is "high probability". It shows that it is.

In FIG. 7, in the item of “small hit RUSH”, the case where the small hit rush occurs is indicated by “◯”, and the case where the small hit rush does not occur is indicated by “x”. In addition, the item of "electric support" in FIG. 7 shows the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure in which the normal electric support state is continued after the jackpot game is executed.

When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "special figure 1_10R probability variation A symbol", it becomes a jackpot game in which a round game in which the big winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined mode is performed for 10 rounds. After executing the big hit game, the game shifts to the probabilistic game state and continues until the next big hit. In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times or a big hit in the meantime. Then, after the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is 100th rotation or later, the small hit rush can be executed in the probabilistic game state and the non-general support state.

In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 60 times or a big hit is reached in the meantime. In addition, a small hit rush can be executed at the end of the normal power support state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 1_10R Normal A symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the normal probability and the normal electric support state are entered. In this case, the normal electric support state is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times or a big hit is made during that time. After that, when the normal electric support state is terminated, it is returned to the normal game state which is the non-general support state in the normal probability state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 1_10R Normal B symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the normal probability and the non-normal electric support state are entered.

As the jackpot symbol of the second special figure, "special figure 2_10R probability variation A symbol", "special diagram 2_10R probability variation B symbol", "special diagram 2_10R probability variation C symbol", special diagram 2_10R probability variation D symbol "," special diagram 2_10R normal A symbol " It has 6 types of symbols, "symbol" and "special figure 2_10R normal B symbol", and one of the symbols is set at the time of a big hit of the second special figure. "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change A Design", "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change B Design", "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change C Design", Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change D Design "," Special Figure 2_10R Normal A Design "and" Special Figure 2_10R Normal B Design The "design" is determined at a rate of 20%, 20%, 20%, 5%, 20%, and 15%, respectively, according to the random number for determining the jackpot symbol.

When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change A Symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the game shifts to the probability variation game state and continues until the next jackpot. In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times or a big hit in the meantime. Then, after the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is 100th rotation or later, the small hit rush can be executed in the probabilistic game state and the non-general support state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change B Symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the game shifts to the probability variation game state and continues until the next jackpot. In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 60 times or a big hit is reached in the meantime. In addition, a small hit rush can be executed at the end of the normal power support state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change C Symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the game shifts to the probability variation game state and continues until the next jackpot. In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 30 times or a big hit is made in the meantime. In addition, a small hit rush can be executed at the end of the normal power support state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change D Symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the game shifts to the probability variation game state and continues until the next jackpot. In addition, the normal electric support state is given, and it is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 30 times or a big hit is made in the meantime. On the other hand, the Fuden support function is not added. Therefore, the small hit rush can be executed after the big hit game is completed.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Normal A symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the normal probability and the normal electric support state are entered. In this case, the normal electric support state is continued until the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100 times or a big hit is made during that time. After that, when the normal electric support state is terminated, it is returned to the normal game state which is the non-general support state in the normal probability state.
When the jackpot symbol is determined to be "Special Figure 2_10R Normal B symbol", a jackpot game of 10 rounds is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the normal probability and the non-normal electric support state are entered.

In this way, the pachinko machine 1 having the normal probability state and the normal electric support state, the probabilistic game state and the general electric support state, and the non-general support probabilistic game state (small hit rush) as the game state is after the big hit game is completed. Does not inform the player of information such as whether the gaming state of is a normal probability state and a normal electric support state, or a probabilistic game state and a general electric support state. In addition, the player can determine whether the normal electric support state or the non-general electric support state is in the normal electric support state by the operation of the general electric accessory 22.
Then, when the gaming state after the jackpot game ends shifts to the normal electric support state, the pachinko machine 1 displays the number of times the normal electric support state is continued (remaining number of times) on the effect symbol display device 46. In this case, the pachinko machine 1 implements a pseudo support number production display that displays a pseudo support continuation number (remaining number) different from the continuation number set according to the actual jackpot symbol as an effect display related to the normal power support state. It is a possible configuration. In the pseudo support number production display, it is desirable to display 100 times, which is the maximum number of continuations, immediately after the end of the big hit game as the pseudo support continuation number. The number of pseudo-support continuations is subtracted and updated for each change in the first special figure or the second special figure. Then, the pachinko machine 1 corrects the pseudo support continuation number to the actual support continuation number and displays it by satisfying a preset condition according to the progress of the game before reaching the actual support continuation number. It is a configuration that implements the pseudo-support count correction effect display to be updated.

Hereinafter, the details of the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described based on the program processing executed by the main control device 40, the sub-integrated control device 42, and the like.
FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the “main routine” executed by the main control device 40, and the “main routine” is composed of the main process (process S100 to process S111, process S115) and the residual process (process S112) for 2 ms. Alternatively, it is started by an interrupt signal having a period of 4 ms. This process first determines in process S100 whether or not it is a normal interrupt. This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the CPU shifts to the main process, the normal process is executed. This is for determining whether or not it is good. When the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, it is conceivable that the CPU runs out of control when the power is turned on or due to noise or the like. However, since it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the CPU due to recent improvements in technology, it is usually when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.
If it is a negative determination that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt (process S100: no), the initial setting (for example, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, setting a normal figure and a special figure as the initial symbol, etc.) in the process S115, etc. Write each initial value to the work area of the memory, etc.). The numerical value for determining whether or not the interrupt is normal is written to the RAM as part of this initial setting.

If it is affirmatively determined as a normal interrupt in the process S100 (process S100: yes), the initial value random number update process is executed in the process S101. This process is an increment process that adds "1" to the value of the initial value random number each time this process is executed, and adds "1" to the value of the initial value random number before executing this process. When the random number before execution is the "maximum value", it returns to the initial value "0" in the next processing, and the integers from "0" to the "maximum value" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

Subsequent processing The random number update process for determining the jackpot in S102 is an increment process in which "1" is added each time the process is executed in the same manner as the initial value random number update process. The value of "0" is returned to, and the integers from "0" to "maximum value" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The first value of the big hit determination random number is a value set (created) in the initial value random number update process. Assuming that this value is "150", the random numbers for determining the jackpot are updated as "150", "151", "152" ... "maximum value", "0", "1" ...

When the update of the big hit determination random number is completed, the value of the initial value random number at that time is set to the initial value of the big hit determination random number. For the random number for determining the jackpot, "1" is added from the initial value. Then, when the update of the big hit determination random number is completed again, the operation of setting the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the big hit determination random number is performed. That is, this series of operations will be repeated. In the above example, when the random number for determining the jackpot becomes "149", it makes a round, so the value after "149" is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is "87", it changes to "149", "87", "88" ... "maximum value", "0", "1" ... "86", and "86". Next is the new value of the initial value random number.

Subsequent processing The random number update processing for determining the jackpot symbol in S103 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates a plurality of integers of "0" to "maximum value". When "1" is added for each main process and the "maximum value" is exceeded, the initial value "0" is restored.

The random number update process for determining the small hit symbol in the subsequent process S104 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates a plurality of integers of "0" to "maximum value". When "1" is added for each main process and the "maximum value" is exceeded, the initial value "0" is restored.

Subsequent process S105 The hit determination random number update process is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates a plurality of integers from "0" to "maximum value". When "1" is added for each main process and the "maximum value" is exceeded, the initial value "0" is restored.

The reach determination random number update process of the process S106 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates a plurality of integers of “0” to “maximum value”. When "1" is added for each main process and the "maximum value" is exceeded, the initial value "0" is restored.
The random number update process for determining the fluctuation pattern of the process S107 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates a plurality of integers of “0” to “maximum value”. When "1" is added for each main process and the "maximum value" is exceeded, the initial value "0" is restored.

Subsequent processing In the winning confirmation processing of S108, the winning (winning) confirmation of the first special figure starting port 23 and the second special drawing starting port 24, and the confirmation of the passage of the game ball of the winning combination gate 204 and the normal drawing operating gate 21 are confirmed. Will be done. Further, the winning (winning) confirmation of the large winning opening 25 and the general winning opening 27, the input processing of each switch connected to the main control device 40, and the like are executed.

In the hit / fail determination process in the next process S109, the hit / fail determination corresponding to each of the normal figure and the special figure, the symbol change accompanying the hit / fail determination, the special game process, and the like are performed.
In each output process of the subsequent process S110, the main control device 40 performs output processes for the payout control device 41, the sub-integrated control device 42, the effect symbol control device 43, the launch control device 44, and the like according to the progress of the game. Run. Further, output processing is executed for each of the large winning opening solenoid 510, the general electric accessory solenoid 511, and the like. That is, when a winning ball is detected in each winning opening by the winning confirmation process (process S108), a process of transmitting a prize ball signal to the payout control device 41 is executed in order to pay out the prize ball. In addition, a process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 42 is executed. Further, when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine 1, a process of outputting an error signal to the effect symbol control device 43 is executed in order to notify that an error is occurring.

The fraud monitoring process of the subsequent process S111 is a process of monitoring whether or not fraud has been performed on the general winning opening 27. It is a process of determining whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is larger than a predetermined number determined in advance, and if there are more, it is determined to be fraudulent and a notification to that effect is given.

The residual process following the present process is composed of the initial value random number update process of the process S112, and is exactly the same process as the process S101. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time allows until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the main processing from the processing S100 to the processing S111 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the jackpot processing is executed, the difference in the display mode of the special figure, and the like. As a result, the number of times the residual processing is executed also differs for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number by executing the interrupt processing once is not uniform. As a result, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the jackpot determination random number is extremely reduced. Further, the random number update process for hit determination (process S105) may also be configured to be executed in the residual process.

Next, some subroutines of the winning confirmation process (process S108), the hit / fail determination process (process S109), and each output process (process S110), which are closely related to the present invention, will be described.
The "special figure start ball entry confirmation process" shown in FIG. 9 includes various random numbers such as a random number for determining a jackpot that is extracted when a game ball enters the first special figure start port 23 and the second special figure start port 24. Is stored in the main control device 40 as a hold storage. Then, various commands caused by entering the ball into the first special figure start port 23 and the second special figure start port 24 are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42.

The "special figure start ball entry confirmation process" first determines whether or not the first special figure start port switch 503 has detected the ball entry into the first special figure start port 23 in the process S200. If it is a negative determination (process S200: no), the process proceeds to process S205.
If the determination is affirmative (process S200: yes), it is determined in process S201 whether or not the number of reserved storages of the first special figure stored in the main control device 40 is full (whether or not the upper limit number has been reached). .. If the determination is affirmative (process S201: yes), the process proceeds to process S205.

If the negative determination is made in the process S201 (process S201: no), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. of the first special figure are extracted in the process S202. .. Various extracted random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control device 40. Further, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are stored in the hold storage area of the main control device 40 as the hold storage (corresponding to the hold storage means described in the claims). Even if the reserved memory number of the first special figure is "0", various random numbers such as a hit / fail random number extracted when the game ball enters the first special figure start port 23 are less than the maximum value. It is memorized as if there is a memorized number.

Subsequently, the look-ahead determination process of the first special figure of the process S203 is executed (corresponding to the look-ahead determination means described in the claims). The pre-reading determination process confirms whether or not the jackpot determination random number or the jackpot symbol determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area is a specific numerical value before the hit / fail determination of whether or not the jackpot is achieved is performed. .. For example, as a specific numerical value, whether or not it is a numerical value determined to be a big hit, whether or not it is a numerical value determined to be super reach or reach, and in the case of a big hit, whether or not it is a probabilistic big hit, and general electric support is given. Whether it is a big hit or not is confirmed. Further, in this process, a look-ahead command indicating the determination result of the look-ahead determination of the first special figure is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. After that, in the process S204, the hold storage counter indicating the number of hold storages is added, and the hold number instruction command indicating the added value of the hold storage counter of the first special figure is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42.
It is desirable that the look-ahead command be transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 when there is a possibility of a big hit or reach. Of course, regardless of the determination content, the look-ahead command may be transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 each time. In response to the look-ahead command, the sub-integrated control device 42 performs a look-ahead effect suggesting that there is a possibility of a big hit or reach on the hold storage symbol or the like of the effect symbol display device 46.

In the subsequent process S205, it is determined whether or not the entry into the second special figure start port 24 is detected by the second special figure start port switch 504. If it is a negative determination (process S205: no), it returns to the main routine of the main control device 40 and ends this process.
If the determination is affirmative (process S205: yes), it is determined in process S206 whether or not the number of reserved storages of the second special figure stored in the main control device 40 is full (whether or not the upper limit number has been reached). .. If it is affirmative (process S206: yes), it returns.

If the negative determination is made in the process S206 (process S206: no), in the process S207, the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the small hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the fluctuation pattern of the second special figure. Extract random numbers for determination. Various extracted random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control device 40. Further, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are stored in the hold storage area of the main control device 40 as the hold storage (corresponding to the hold storage means described in the claims). Even if the reserved memory number of the second special figure is "0", various random numbers such as a hit / miss random number extracted when the game ball enters the second special figure start port 24 are less than the maximum value. It is memorized as if there is a memorized number.

Subsequently, in the process S208, the look-ahead determination process of the second special figure is executed (corresponding to the look-ahead determination means described in the claims). The pre-reading determination process confirms whether or not the jackpot determination random number or the jackpot symbol determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area is a specific numerical value before the hit / fail determination of whether or not the jackpot is achieved is performed. .. For example, as a specific numerical value, whether or not it is a numerical value determined to be a big hit, whether or not it is a numerical value determined to be super reach or reach, and in the case of a big hit, whether or not it is a probabilistic big hit, and general electric support is given. Whether it is a big hit or not is confirmed. Further, in this process, a look-ahead command indicating the determination result of the look-ahead determination of the second special figure is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. After that, in the process S209, the hold storage counter indicating the number of hold storages is added, and the hold number instruction command indicating the added value of the hold storage counter of the first special figure is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42.
It is desirable that the look-ahead command be transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 when there is a possibility of a big hit or reach.

In this "special figure start ball entry confirmation process", if the number of reserved storage is not full, the extracted random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage area set in advance, and then the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are stored. It is configured to be stored in the hold storage area. Not limited to this, if the number of reserved storages is not full, the extracted random numbers may be stored in the predetermined storage area and the reserved storage area, respectively. Further, when a random number is extracted due to the ball entering the first special figure start port 23 or the second special figure start port 24, the extracted random number is stored in a predetermined storage area. Then, it may be confirmed whether or not the number of reserved storages is full, and if it is not full, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area may be stored in the reserved storage area. In this case, if the number of reserved storages is full, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are deleted.
In this "special figure start entry confirmation process", the look-ahead determination process determines the random number stored in the predetermined storage area in advance, but is not limited to this, so that the random number stored in the hold storage area is determined in advance. You may do it.

10 to 16 show flowcharts of "first special figure hit / miss determination process" and "second special figure hit / miss determination process". In these processes, the hit / fail determination of the first special figure and the hit / fail judgment of the second special figure are executed separately.
As shown in FIG. 10, the "first special figure hit / miss determination process" first confirms in the process S300 that the special electric accessory is not operating, and determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in the big hit game or the small hit game. If it is a negative determination (process S300: no), it returns to the main routine of the main control device 40 and ends this process.

If the determination is affirmative (process S300: yes), it is determined in process S301 whether or not the standby flag is "0". If the determination is affirmative (process S301: yes), it is determined in process S302 whether or not the first special figure is stopped fluctuating. If the determination is affirmative (process S302: yes), it is determined in process S303 whether or not the finalized symbol of the first special figure is not displayed.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S303 (process S303: yes), it is determined in the process S304 whether or not there is a hold memory of the first special figure. If it is a negative determination (process S304: no), it returns.
If the determination is affirmative (process S304: yes), the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is subtracted in process S305, and the pending storage shift process is performed. By the shift process, the oldest reserved memory in the reserved memory of the first special figure is the target of the hit / fail determination.

Subsequently, in the process S310 shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the probabilistic gaming state of the special figure, that is, whether or not the probabilistic flag is “1”. The probabilistic flag is a flag indicating that the gaming state is in the probabilistic gaming state, and when set (when the value of the flag becomes "1"), the probabilistic gaming state is set. On the other hand, when it is released (when the value of the flag becomes "0"), it is in the normal probability state.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S310 (S310: yes), the hit / fail determination table at the time of probability change in the process S311 is compared with the jackpot determination random number of the reserved memory of the first special figure to be the target of the pass / fail determination. Make a judgment.
If it is a negative determination (S310: no), in the process S312, a determination is made by comparing the hit / fail determination table of the normal probability with the jackpot determination random number of the reserved memory of the first special figure to be the target of the hit / fail determination.

Subsequently, in the process S313, it is determined whether or not the second special figure is changing in the jackpot. If it is an affirmative determination (process S313: yes), the validity determination of the first special figure is forcibly set as a loss, and the process proceeds to process S321.
If it is a negative determination (process S313: no), in process S314, it is determined whether or not the hit / fail judgment of the process S311 or the process S312 is a big hit (corresponding to the special symbol pass / fail determination means described in the claims). do). If it is a negative determination (process S314: no), the validity determination of the first special figure is regarded as a loss, and the process proceeds to process S321.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S314 (process S314: yes), the jackpot symbol is determined in the process S315 based on the random number for determining the jackpot symbol in the hold storage of the first special figure to be determined. That is, any one of "Special Figure 1_10R Probability Change A Design", "Special Figure 1_10R Probability Change B Design", "Special Figure 1_10R Normal A Design" or "Special Figure 1_10R Normal B Design" is determined.

Next, in the process S316, based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved memory of the first special figure, which is the target of the hit / fail determination, the fluctuation time of the jackpot symbol of the first special figure is determined from the set fluctuation table. The variation pattern is determined (corresponding to the variation time determination means described in the claims).
After determining the fluctuation pattern, the jackpot setting process is performed in the process S317. In this process, based on the determined jackpot symbol, for example, the content of the jackpot game such as the 10R jackpot game, the transition to the probabilistic game state or the transition to the normal electric support state after the jackpot game ends, and the number of continuations of these. , The time for the jackpot start effect of the jackpot game performed by the effect symbol display device 46, the time for the jackpot end effect, and the like are set.

Next, in the process S318, a process is performed in which the information on the hold storage of the first special figure after the hit / fail judgment (for example, the information indicating the decrease in the hold storage after the hit / fail judgment is executed) is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42.
Further, in the process S319, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 28A is performed, and the symbol variation start command and the symbol designation command are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. Then return. The fluctuation start command and the symbol designation command include the fluctuation pattern of the first special figure, the determination result of the hit / miss determination of the first special figure, and the like. Depending on the configuration, a symbol confirmation command for instructing the end of the fluctuation time may be sent. However, since the fluctuation time is specified in advance by the fluctuation pattern or the like, it is not essential.

If it is an affirmative determination (process S313: yes) in the process S313 or a negative determination in the process S314 (process S314: no), the first special figure is a loss determination. In the above, the fluctuation pattern of the lost symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved memory of the first special figure, which is the target of the validity determination (corresponding to the fluctuation time determination means described in the claims). ). Further, the loss setting process is performed in the process S322.
After that, the process S318 and the process S319 are performed in the same manner as in the case of the jackpot determination. Then return.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the "second special figure hit / miss determination process" first confirms in the process S330 that the special electric accessory is not operating, and determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in the big hit game or the small hit game. do. If the determination is negative (process S330: no), the process returns to the main routine of the main control device 40 and the present process is terminated.

If the determination is affirmative (process S330: yes), it is determined in process S331 whether or not the standby flag is "0". If the determination is affirmative (process S331: yes), it is determined in process S332 whether or not the second special figure is stopped fluctuating. If the determination is affirmative (process S332: yes), it is determined in process S333 whether or not the finalized symbol of the second special figure is not displayed.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S333 (process S333: yes), it is determined in the process S334 whether or not there is a reserved memory of the second special figure. If it is a negative determination (process S334: no), it returns.
If the determination is affirmative (process S334: yes), the number of reserved storages in the second special figure is subtracted in process S335, and the pending storage shift process is performed. By the shift process, the oldest reserved memory in the reserved memory of the second special figure is the target of the hit / fail determination.

Subsequently, in the process S340 process shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the probabilistic gaming state of the special figure, that is, whether or not the probabilistic flag is “1”. The probabilistic flag is a flag indicating that the gaming state is in the probabilistic gaming state, and when set (when the value of the flag becomes "1"), the probabilistic gaming state is set. On the other hand, when it is released (when the value of the flag becomes "0"), it is in the normal probability state.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S340 (process S340: yes), the determination is made by comparing the hit / fail determination table at the time of probability change with the jackpot determination random number of the second special figure to be the target of the hit / fail determination in the process S341. conduct.
If it is a negative determination (process S340: no), in process S342, the determination is made by comparing the hit / fail determination table of the normal probability with the big hit determination random number of the second special figure that is the target of the hit / fail determination.

Subsequently, in the process S343, it is determined whether or not the first special figure is changing in the jackpot. If it is an affirmative determination (process S343: yes), the validity determination of the second special figure is forcibly set as a loss, and the process proceeds to process S355.
If it is a negative determination (process S343: no), in process S344, it is determined whether or not the validity determination of the processing S341 or the processing S342 is a big hit (the special symbol validity determination means described in the claims). Corresponds to).

If the determination is affirmative in the process S344 (process S344: yes), the jackpot symbol is determined in the process S345 based on the random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the second special figure that is the target of the hit / fail determination. That is, "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change A Design", "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change B Design", "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change C Design", Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change D Design "," Special Figure 2_10R Normal A Design "or" Special Figure 2_10R Any one symbol of "normal B symbol" is determined.
Subsequently, in the process S346, a fluctuation pattern such as a fluctuation time of the jackpot symbol of the second special figure is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the second special figure which is the target of the hit / fail determination (claims). Corresponds to the described variable time determining means).

After determining the fluctuation pattern, the jackpot setting process is performed in the process S347. In this process, the content of the jackpot game, such as the 10R jackpot game, is set based on the determined jackpot symbol. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the transition to the probabilistic game state and the transition to the normal electric support state, the number of continuations of these, the setting of the time for the jackpot start production of the jackpot game performed by the effect symbol display device 46, and the jackpot end effect Time etc. are set.

Next, in the process S348, a process of transmitting the information of the hold storage after the hit / fail judgment of the second special figure (for example, the information indicating the decrease of the hold memory after the execution of the hit / miss judgment) to the sub-integrated control device 42 is performed.
In the subsequent process S349, the symbol variation start control of the second special symbol display device 28B is performed, and the symbol variation start command and the symbol designation command are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. Then return. The fluctuation start command and the symbol designation command include the fluctuation pattern of the second special figure, the determination result of the hit / miss determination of the second special figure, and the like. Further, depending on the configuration, a symbol confirmation command for instructing the end of the fluctuation time may be sent. However, since the fluctuation time is specified in advance by the fluctuation pattern or the like, it is not essential.

If the negative determination is made in the process S344 (process S344: no), the process S350 determines whether or not the appropriateness determination of the process S341 or the process S342 is a small hit (whether the special symbol is correct or not described in the claims). Corresponds to the judgment means).
If it is an affirmative determination (process S350: yes), in process S351, the small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the small hit symbol of the second special figure that is the target of the hit / fail determination.

Subsequently, in the process S352, a fluctuation pattern such as a fluctuation time of the small hit symbol of the second special figure is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the second special figure which is the target of the hit / fail determination (claims). Corresponds to the means for determining the fluctuation time described in (1). Subsequently, the small hit setting process is performed in the process S353. In this process, based on the determined small hit symbol, the content of the small hit game, the setting of the time for the small hit start effect of the small hit game performed by the effect symbol display device 46, the time for the small hit end effect, etc. The settings are made.
After that, the process S348 and the process S349 are executed, and then the process returns.

If the negative determination is made in the process S343 (process S343: no) or the negative determination is made in the process S350 (process S350: no), the second special figure is a loss determination. Is determined, and in the process S356, a variation pattern such as a variation time of the lost symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the second special figure that is the target of the hit / fail determination (the variation time described in the claims). Corresponds to the means of determination). Next, the loss setting process is performed in the process S357.
After that, the process S348 and the process S349 are executed, and then the process returns.

If a negative determination is made in the process S302 (FIG. 10) or the process S332 (FIG. 12) (process S302 or process S332: no), as shown in FIG. 14, the first special figure or the second special figure is shown in the process S360. It is determined whether or not the symbol variation time of (Process S360) has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (process S360: yes), in process S361, the control for ending the variation display of the first special figure display device 28A and confirming the display of the first special figure, or the variation of the second special figure display device 28B. Control is performed so that the display is terminated and the second special figure is fixedly displayed. Further, a command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so that the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is confirmed and displayed. Since the fluctuation time is specified by the fluctuation start command, the symbol confirmation command may not be transmitted. With this configuration, it is possible to perform the same effect display while suppressing the number of commands.

Subsequently, in the process S362, it is determined whether or not the special figure confirmed and displayed in the process S361 is a small hit symbol. If the determination is affirmative (process S362: yes), the interruption flag is set to "1" in process S363. After that, it shifts to "big hit game processing".

If the negative determination is made in the process S362 (process S362: no), it is determined in the process S364 whether or not the special figure is a jackpot symbol. If it is a negative determination (process S364: no), the process proceeds to the "big hit game process".
If the determination is affirmative (process S364: yes), the stop flag is set to "1" in process S365. After that, it shifts to "big hit game processing".

If the negative determination is made in the process S360 (process S360: no), it is determined whether or not the interruption flag is set to "1" in the process S366. If the determination is affirmative (process S366: yes), the special figure fluctuation interruption process is performed in process S367. After that, it shifts to the jackpot game processing.
In the special figure fluctuation interruption process, since one special figure (second special figure) of the first special figure or the second special figure is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the other special figure (first special figure) that is changing is displayed. This is a process to interrupt the fluctuation of (special figure). Further, this process is a process of stopping the measurement of the fluctuation time of the other special figure, and when the small hit game based on the definite display of the other special figure is completed, the change of the other special figure is restarted.

If the negative determination is made in the process S366 (process S366: no), it is determined in the process S368 whether or not the stop flag is set to "1". If it is a negative determination (process S368: no), the process proceeds to the "big hit game process".
If the determination is affirmative (process S368: yes), the special figure fluctuation stop process is performed in process S369, and then the process proceeds to "big hit game process".
In the special figure fluctuation stop process, since one of the first special figure or the second special figure is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, the change of the other special figure that is changing is stopped by a lost symbol. be.

If a negative determination is made in the process S303 (FIG. 10) or the process S333 (FIG. 12) (process S303 or process S333: no), as shown in FIG. Determining the figure Judges whether or not the symbol display time has elapsed. If it is a negative determination (process S370: no), the process proceeds to "big hit game process".
On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative (process S370: yes), in the process S371, the first special figure display device 28A displays the final symbol of the first special figure or the second special symbol display device 28B displays the final symbol of the second special figure. Is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 to end the final display of the pseudo-effect symbol corresponding to the first special figure or the second special figure.

Subsequently, in the process S372, it is determined whether or not the symbols of the first special figure or the second special figure are a combination that becomes a big hit. If the determination is affirmative (process S372: yes), it is determined in process S373 whether or not the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation game state is "1". If it is a negative determination (process S373: no), the process proceeds to process S375. If the determination is affirmative (process S373: yes), the probability change flag is reset to "0" in process S374.

In the process S375, it is determined whether or not the electric support flag indicating the normal electric support state is "1". If it is a negative determination (process S375: no), the process proceeds to process S377. If the determination is affirmative (process S375: yes), the electric support flag is reset to "0" in process S376.
The electric support flag is a flag indicating that the game state is in the normal electric support state, and when it is set (when the value of the flag becomes "1"), it is set to the general electric support state. On the other hand, when it is released (when the value of the flag becomes "0"), it is in the non-normal power support state.
By these processes, the game state related to the probabilistic game state and the normal electric support state during the big hit game is reset to the normal game state.

Next, in the process S377, the operation of the condition device is started. It should be noted that the condition device operates when the hit / fail judgment of the first special figure or the second special figure becomes a big hit and the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed to establish the start condition of the big hit game, and is useful in the big hit game. It is a device necessary for the operation of the object continuous operation device.
In the subsequent process S378, the standby flag is set to "1". The standby flag is a flag indicating that the accessory continuous operation device is in a state of waiting for operation.

Next, after the execution of the process S378, or if the negative determination (process S301: no) in the process S301 (FIG. 10) or the negative determination (process S331: no) in the process S331 (FIG. 12), the process In S379, it is determined whether or not the combination gate switch 507 has detected the passage of the game ball. That is, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the combination gate 204 with the standby flag set. If it is a negative determination (process S379: no), the process proceeds to the "big hit game process".

If it is affirmative (process S379: yes), the accessory continuous operation device is operated in process S380. Further, the special electric accessory is operated according to the operation of the accessory continuous operation device. Next, in process S381, a process of resetting the standby flag to "0" is performed. As a result, the big hit game can be started, and the big hit game start process is performed in the subsequent process S382.

If the winning combination gate switch 507 detects the passage of the game ball with the standby flag set, the winning combination gate switch 507 is valid even if the winning combination gate switch 507 detects the passage of the game ball. ) Is not considered. That is, the passage detection of the game ball of the combination gate switch 507 is invalidated.

In the jackpot game start process, a command to start the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. After that, it shifts to "big hit game processing".

If the negative determination is made in the process S379 (process S379: no), the process returns to the main routine of FIG. 9 through the "big hit game process". Then, the pass / fail determination process of the special figure is executed again, and when the affirmative determination of the process S379 is passed, the process proceeds to the process of the process S380.

Even if the condition device starts operating in this way, the jackpot game is not started unless the game ball passes through the winning combination gate 204 in order not to give a disadvantage to the player. That is, a big hit may be generated by entering the game ball into the first special figure start port 23 while the game centering on left-handed hitting is in progress. However, since the big winning opening 25 that opens and closes during the big hit game is provided in the right-handed game area, the accessory continuous operating device is operated as soon as the condition device is activated, and the big hit game is started. , Without noticing the start of the big hit game, after the big hit game has progressed to some extent, the start of the big hit game is noticed, and in a hurry there is a case where the left-handed is switched to the right-handed, and the number of prize balls that the player should originally get , May be reduced.

On the other hand, even if the operation of the condition device is started, if the jackpot game is not started unless the game ball is passed through the winning combination gate 204, the player can use the desired timing (after switching from left-handed to right-handed). ), The jackpot game can be started (the first round can be started), and it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged.

If the negative determination is made in the process S372 (process S372: no), as shown in FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not the electric support flag is "1" in the process S385. If it is a negative determination (process S385: no), the process proceeds to process S389.
If the determination is affirmative (process S385: yes), the process of counting the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure after the end of the big hit game, which caused the transition to the normal electric support state in the process S386, is performed. In this case, the number of fluctuations is the sum of the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure.

Next, in the process S387, it is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations has reached the number of ends by comparing the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure with the number of ends of the end of the normal power support state. .. If it is a negative determination (process S387: no), the process proceeds to process S389.
If the determination is affirmative (process S387: yes), the electric support flag is reset to "0" in process S388. As a result, the game state is shifted to the non-general support state.
To determine whether or not to continue the normal power support state, a dedicated electric support counter that counts the duration of the normal power support state is subtracted, and the power support counter (number of times of support continuation) after the subtraction is "0". It may be determined whether or not it is.

Subsequently, in the process S389, the sub-integrated control device issues a state specification command indicating a state such as whether or not the current game state is a probabilistic game state and whether or not it is a normal electric support state after the special symbol confirmation time (600 ms). Send to 42.
The timing of transmitting the state specification command from the main control device 40 to the sub integrated control device 42 is after the special symbol confirmation time, but the state specification command is also transmitted at the start of the special symbol change and at the time of power restoration. It may be configured.

Next, in the process S390, it is determined whether or not the symbol of the second special figure is a combination that makes a small hit. If it is a negative determination (process S390: no), the process proceeds to "big hit game process".
If it is affirmative (process S390: yes), the operation start process of the special electric accessory is performed in process S391. In the subsequent process S392, the small hit game start process is performed. In this process, a command to start the small hit game and information related to the small hit game (opening time of the small hit, opening pattern, ending time of the small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. After that, it shifts to "big hit game processing".

Next, "big hit game processing" and "small hit game processing" will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 22.
As shown in FIG. 17, in the "big hit game process", first, in the process S500, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating. If it is a negative determination (process S500: no), the process is terminated and the process proceeds to the "small hit game process".
On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative (process S500: yes), it is determined in process S501 whether or not the large winning opening 25 is open.

If the process S501 has a negative determination (process S501: no), the process S502 determines whether or not the jackpot game is in the interval, and if the process S502 has a negative determination (process S502: no), the process S503 is performing the jackpot end effect. Judge whether or not. If it is a negative judgment (process S503: no), it is determined in the process S504 whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed, and if it is an affirmative judgment (process S504: yes), the first big winning opening of the process S505 is opened. In the process, the big winning opening 25 in the first round is controlled to be opened (corresponding to the big hit game executing means described in the claims). After that, it returns to the main routine of the main control device 40.

If the positive determination is made in the process S501 (process S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, it is determined whether or not there are 10 prizes in the large winning opening 25 (specified number of prizes) (process S510), or It is determined whether or not the opening time of the large winning opening 25 has expired (process S511), and if any of them is affirmative (processing S510 or processing S511: yes), the large winning opening 25 is closed in process S512. In the subsequent process S513, a process of starting the jackpot interval is executed. After that, it returns (see FIG. 17).
If both the process S510 and the process S511 are negatively determined (process S510: no, process S511: no), the process returns.

If the positive determination is made in the process S502 (FIG. 17) (process S502: yes), as shown in FIG. 19, it is determined whether or not the jackpot interval time has elapsed in the process S520. If it is a negative determination (process S520: no), it returns (see FIG. 17). If it is affirmative (process S520: yes), it is determined in process S521 whether or not it is the final round. If it is affirmative (process S521: yes), the process of the jackpot end effect of process S522 is executed, and the jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in this process to end the jackpot game. And return.
On the other hand, if the negative determination is made in the process S521 (process S521: no), the large winning opening 25 is opened in the next round by the first large winning opening opening process in the processing S523 to return.

If the positive determination is made in the process S503 (FIG. 17) (process S503: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, it is determined in the process S530 whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed. If it is a negative determination (process S530: no), it returns (see FIG. 17).
If it is affirmative (process S530: yes), the process of stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the process S531 is executed, and then the process of stopping the operation of the condition device and the special electric accessory in the process S532 is executed. Run.

Subsequently, in the process S533, it is determined whether or not the setting is such that the probabilistic game state is set after the end of the big hit game according to the big hit symbol. If it is a negative determination (process S533: no), the process proceeds to process S536.
If the determination is affirmative (process S533: yes), the probability variation number of times that the probability variation game state is continued is set in process S534. In this case, since the probability change game state continues until the next big hit, for example, the probability change number is set to 10,000 times. Next, in the process S535, the probability change flag is set to "1". As a result, a probabilistic game state is given after the jackpot game ends (corresponding to the probability fluctuation state setting means described in the claims).

Next, in the process S536, it is determined whether or not the setting is such that the normal electric support state is set after the end of the big hit game according to the big hit symbol. If it is a negative determination (process S536: no), the process proceeds to process S539.
If the determination is affirmative (process S536: yes), the number of times the support continues in the process S537 to continue the normal power support state is set to the number of times set in the process S317 or the process S347. Next, in process S538, "1" is set in the electric support flag. As a result, the general electric support state is given after the jackpot game is completed (corresponding to the ordinary electric accessory support setting means described in the claims).

Next, in the process S539, it is determined whether or not the value of the stop flag is "1". If it is a negative determination (process S539: no), the process proceeds to process S541.
If the determination is affirmative (process S539: yes), the stop flag is reset to "0" in process S540.
Subsequent process S541 executes a process of transmitting a jackpot end command, and in this process, a jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the like. Further, in the process S542, a state designation command such as a probability change game state or a normal electric support state is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 or the like. After that, it returns (see FIG. 17).

If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation in the process S500 (FIG. 17) (process S500: no), the process proceeds to the "small hit game process". As shown in FIG. 21, in the "small hit game process", first, in the process S550, it is determined whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation. If it is a negative determination (process S550: no), the process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main controller 40.
If it is an affirmative determination (process S550: yes), it is determined in process S551 whether or not the small hit start effect is being produced.

If the positive determination is made in the process S551 (process S551: yes), it is determined in the process S552 whether or not the small hit start effect time has elapsed. If it is a negative determination (process S552: no), it returns.
If the determination is affirmative (process S552: yes), the large winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined opening mode in the process S553 (corresponding to the small hit game executing means described in the claims). Then return.

If the negative determination is made in the process S551 (process S551: no), it is determined in the process S554 whether or not the large winning opening 25 is open. If it is an affirmative judgment (process S554: yes), it is determined whether or not there are 10 prizes in the large winning opening 25 (specified number of winnings) (processing S555), or whether or not the opening time of the large winning opening 25 has expired. (Processing S556) is performed, and if either is affirmative (processing S555 or processing S556: yes), the large winning opening 25 is closed in processing S557. Then return.

If a negative determination is made in the process S554 (process S554: no), as shown in FIG. 22, the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped in the process S560.
Next, in the process S561, it is determined whether or not the interruption flag is "1". If the determination is affirmative (process S561: yes), the interruption flag is reset to "0" in process S562. As a result, the first special figure, which had suspended the fluctuation, resumes the fluctuation.
On the other hand, if the negative determination is made in the process S561 (process S561: no), the small hit end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 in the process S563. After that, in the process S564, the state designation command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and returns. This ends the small hit game.

Next, with reference to FIG. 23, the “normal drawing start ball entry confirmation process” executed by the main control device will be described.
In the "Public map start ball entry confirmation process", various random numbers such as a random number for determining the normal map hit, which is extracted when the game ball passes through the normal map operation gate 21, are stored in the main control device 40 as a reserved memory of the normal map. Remember. Then, it is a process of transmitting various commands caused by the passage of the normal drawing operation gate 21 to the sub-integrated control device 42. In the present embodiment, the number of reserved memory of the normal map that can be stored due to the passage of the normal map operation gate 21 is four.

The "normal figure start ball entry confirmation process" first determines whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 505 has detected the passage of the game ball of the normal figure operation gate 21 in the process S250. If it is a negative determination (process S250: no), this process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main controller 40.
If the determination is affirmative (process S250: yes), it is determined in process S251 whether or not the number of reserved storages of the normal diagram stored in the main control device 40 is full (whether or not the upper limit number has been reached). If it is affirmative (process S251: yes), it returns.

If the negative determination is made in the process S251 (process S251: no), in the process S252, a hit determination random number, a hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, and the like are extracted. Various extracted random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control device 40. Further, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are stored in the hold storage area of the main control device 40 as the hold storage. Even if the reserved storage number of the normal figure is "0", various random numbers such as a hit / fail random number extracted when the game ball passes through the normal figure operating gate 21 have a storage number less than the maximum value. Is remembered as well.

Subsequently, in the process S253, the hold storage counter indicating the number of hold storages is added, and the hold number instruction command indicating the value of the added hold storage counter in the general diagram is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42.

The “normal figure hit / miss determination process” executed by the main control device will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 to 27.
As shown in FIG. 24, the "normal figure hit / miss determination process" first determines whether or not the general electric accessory 22 is operating in the process S600. If it is affirmative (process S600: yes), the process proceeds to the "general game game process" (see FIG. 28).
If it is a negative determination (process S600: no), it is determined in process S601 whether or not the normal figure is changing. If it is a negative determination (process S601: no), it is determined in process S602 whether or not the confirmed symbol of the normal figure is being confirmed and displayed.

If the negative determination is made in the process S602 (process S602: no), as shown in FIG. 25, it is determined in the process S610 whether or not there is a reserved memory of the normal figure. If it is a negative determination (process S610: no), the process proceeds to the "genuine game process". On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative (process S610: yes), the number of reserved storages is subtracted in process S611, and the pending storage shift process of the normal figure is performed. By the shift processing, the oldest reserved memory in the reserved memory of the normal figure is the target of the pass / fail judgment.

Next, in the process S612, the hit / fail determination table of the normal figure is compared with the hit determination random number of the hold storage to be the target of the hit / fail judgment, and the hit / miss judgment is performed.
Subsequently, in the process S613, it is determined whether or not the appropriateness determination of the process S612 is a normal figure (corresponding to the third appropriateness determination means described in the claims). If the determination is affirmative in this process (process S613: yes), the symbol per symbol is determined in the process S614 based on the random number for determining the symbol per symbol in the reserved memory that is the target of the hit / fail determination.

Next, in the process S615, a fluctuation pattern such as a fluctuation time of a hit symbol of the normal map is determined based on a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the normal map of the reserved memory that is the target of the hit / fail determination. If the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the fluctuation pattern in the normal drawing is determined to be a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is 2 seconds. Further, if the gaming state is the normal power support state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal map is determined to be a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is 0.5 seconds.

As a result, in the pachinko machine 1, if the game state is the normal electric support state, the fluctuation time of the normal figure is extremely short (because the game ball that has passed through the normal figure operation gate 21 reaches the general electric accessory 22). It is definitely shorter than the required time). For this reason, the game ball that has passed through the normal drawing operation gate 21 and triggered the execution of the hit / fail judgment of the normal drawing ends the fluctuation of the normal symbol before reaching the normal drawing accessory 22, and becomes the execution trigger. The possibility that the game ball will enter the second special figure starting port 24 is extremely high.
If the game state is the normal game state, the fluctuation time of the normal map is longer than that of the normal electric support state, but the game passes through the normal map operation gate 21 and triggers the execution of the pass / fail judgment of the normal map. It is highly possible that the game ball ends the fluctuation of the normal symbol before reaching the general electric accessory 22, and the game ball that triggered the execution enters the second special figure start port 24. ..

In the process of determining the variation pattern, the variation pattern (the variation time of the normal figure is specified by using the random number for determining the variation pattern of the target hold memory and the variation pattern table selected according to the game state. Fluctuation pattern) is determined. As the fluctuation pattern of the normal figure, a fluctuation pattern that specifies the fluctuation time to 0.5 seconds or a fluctuation pattern that specifies the fluctuation time to 2 seconds is selected. However, these fluctuation times are average fluctuation times. For example, in the case of a fluctuation pattern of 2 seconds, "1.8 seconds", "2 seconds" or "2.2 seconds" depending on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern. "(2 seconds on average) may be specified.

Following the process S615, the process S616 performs a process of setting the content of the hit game in the normal drawing. This process is a process of setting the start interval time of the game per normal figure and the end interval time of the game per normal figure.
Next, in the process S617, the symbol variation start control of the normal symbol display device 29 is performed. After that, it shifts to "Public game processing".

If the negative determination is made in the process S613 (process S613: no), in the process S618, as in the process S615, a variation pattern such as a variation time of a symbol out of the ordinary figure is determined.
After that, the process S617 is performed, and the process shifts to the "Public map game process".

If the determination is affirmative in the process S601 (FIG. 24) (process S601: yes), as shown in FIG. 26, it is determined in the process S620 whether or not the symbol variation time of the normal figure has elapsed. If it is a negative determination (process S620: no), the process proceeds to the "genuine game process".
On the other hand, if it is an affirmative determination (process S620: yes), in process S621, control is performed to end the variable display of the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 29 and to confirm and display the symbol. After that, it shifts to "Public game processing".

If the determination is affirmative in the process S602 (FIG. 24) (process S602: yes), as shown in FIG. 27, it is determined in the process S630 whether or not the finalized symbol display time has ended. If it is a negative determination (process S630: no), the process proceeds to the "genuine game process".
On the other hand, if it is an affirmative determination (process S630: yes), the process S631 controls to end the confirmation symbol display of the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 29.

Next, in the process S632, it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is a symbol per ordinary symbol. If it is a negative determination (process S632: no), the process proceeds to the "genuine game process".
On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative (process S632: yes), the process S633 performs the normal symbol game start process, and then the process S634 performs the normal symbol game start process. In this process, a command to start the game per normal figure and information about the game per normal figure (start interval time, end interval time, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42. After that, it shifts to "ordinary symbol game processing".

As shown in FIG. 28, the "genuine game processing" first determines whether or not the general electric accessory 22 is operating in the processing S700. If it is a negative determination (process S700: no), it is determined in process S701 whether or not the end interval per normal figure is in progress. If the determination is affirmative (process S701: yes), it is determined in process S702 whether or not the start interval per normal figure is in progress. If it is a negative determination (process S702: no), this process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main control device 40.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S702 (process S702: yes), the process S703 performs a process of opening the utility object 22 according to a predetermined opening pattern (the means for executing a game per ordinary symbol described in the claims). Corresponds to). Specifically, in the case of the Fuden support state at the start of the game per normal figure, the opening pattern (opening mode) of the Fuden accessory 22 opens the Fuden accessory 22 once for 8 seconds. Determined by the pattern. Further, in the case of the non-genuine support state at the start of the game per normal figure, the pattern is determined to open the general electric accessory 22 once over 1 second.

If the affirmative judgment is made in the process S700 (process S700: yes), as shown in FIG. (Processing S710) or determining whether or not the opening time of the utility object 22 has expired (Processing S711). If both are negative determinations (process S710 and process S711: no), a return is made.
If either of them is affirmatively determined (process S710 or process S711: yes), the utility object 22 is closed in process S712. Subsequently, in the process S713, the end interval process of the game per normal figure is performed. As a result, the normal drawing winning game is completed and the game is returned.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S701 (FIG. 28) (process S701: yes), as shown in FIG. 30, it is determined in the process S715 whether or not the end interval of the game per normal figure has elapsed. If it is a negative determination (process S715: no), it returns.
If it is affirmative (process S715: yes), the game end process per normal figure is performed in process S716. In this process, the game end command per normal figure is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42, the game process per normal figure is ended, and the game returns.

Based on FIGS. 31 to 35, the pseudo-support number-of-times effect display and the pseudo-support number-correction effect display performed by the effect symbol display device 46 will be described.
When the game state shifts to the normal electric support state after the jackpot game ends, the pseudo support number production display is different from the continuation number set in the process S317 (FIG. 11) or the process S347 (FIG. 13). It is an effect that displays the number of times (remaining number of times). For example, even if the set number of continuations is 60 or 30, the maximum number of pseudo-support continuations is 100 when the first first special figure or the second special figure changes immediately after the jackpot game ends. To display. After that, the number of pseudo support continuations is subtracted and updated for each change of the first special figure or the second special figure.

The pseudo support number correction effect display is obtained by satisfying a preset condition according to the progress of the game before reaching the continuation number set in the process S317 (FIG. 11) or the process S347 (FIG. 13). , It is an effect to update the display by correcting the number of pseudo support continuations to the actual number of continuations. For example, when the set number of continuations is 60 and the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is corrected at the 20th rotation, the pseudo support continuation number is updated to the actual 60 times. Further, for example, if the set number of continuations is 30 and the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is corrected at the 15th rotation, the number of pseudo support continuations becomes 15 as the actual remaining number. Will be updated.
As a condition for correcting the number of times of pseudo support continuation, it is conceivable that the reach effect is off, or the number of fluctuations of the first and second special figures set in advance changes.

The “pseudo-support count display process” shown in FIG. 31 is a process executed by the sub-integrated control device 42 of the pachinko machine 1, and displays and updates the pseudo-support continuation count according to the information transmitted from the main control device 40. conduct.
This process first determines whether or not the variation of the first special figure or the second special figure is started in the process S400. If the determination is negative (process S400: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub-integrated control device 42.
If the determination is affirmative (process S400: yes), it is determined in process S401 whether or not the electric support flag is "1". That is, it is determined whether the game state is the normal electric support state. If it is a negative judgment (process S400: no), it returns.

If the affirmative determination is made in the process S401 (process S401: yes), it is determined in the process S402 whether or not the pseudo number display flag is "0". If the determination is affirmative (process S402: yes), in process S403, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a variation of the first special figure or the second special figure after the transition to the normal electric support state. If it is a negative determination (process S403: no), it returns.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S403 (process S403: yes), the first pseudo number display process is performed in the process S404. By this process, the pseudo-support continuation number indicating 100 times is displayed on the effect symbol display device 46 (corresponding to the support continuation number display means and the pseudo-support continuation number display means described in the claims). In the subsequent process S405, the pseudo number display flag is set to "1". The pseudo number display flag indicates that the pseudo support continuation number is displayed.
In addition, the display of the number of times of pseudo support continuation may be displayed by shifting the game state to the normal electric support state after the end of the big hit game, for example, it may be displayed before the fluctuation of the special figure is started. It may be.
Further, the display of the pseudo-support continuation number does not necessarily have to be different from the set continuation number, and the set correct continuation number may be displayed. In this case, for example, it may be decided by lottery or the like whether to display the number of continuations different from the setting or to display the correct number of continuations.

If the negative determination is made in the process S402 (process S402: no), the number of pseudo-support continuations is displayed. Subtract the number of times (-1). Subsequently, the display of the number of pseudo-support continuations subtracted in the process S407 is updated. As a result, the number of pseudo support continuations subtracted as the new number of continuations is displayed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the number of pseudo support continuations subtracted in the process S408 is "0". If it is a negative determination (process S408: no), it returns.
If the determination is affirmative (process S408: yes), the pseudo number display flag is reset to "0" in process S409, and the process returns.

In addition, in the effect of displaying the number of times of pseudo support continuation, when the number of times of pseudo support continuation is "0", the effect of raising the player's expectation such as whether or not the normal electric support state ends is performed. May be good. In addition, the effect of whether or not the normal power support state ends is not limited to "0", and the number of pseudo support continuations is not limited to "0". The fluctuation may be carried out at the 30th, 60th, and 100th rotations.

The “pseudo-support count display process” shown in FIG. 32 is a process executed by the sub-integrated control device 42 of the pachinko machine 1, and corrects the pseudo-support continuation number according to the information transmitted from the main control device 40.
This process first determines whether or not the variation of the first special figure or the second special figure is started in the process S450. If the determination is negative (process S450: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub-integrated control device 42.
If the determination is affirmative (process S450: yes), it is determined in process S451 whether or not the pseudo-number display flag is "1". If it is a negative determination (process S451: no), it returns.

If the determination is affirmative in the process S451 (process S451: yes), it is determined in the process S452 whether or not the correction condition is satisfied. If it is a negative determination (process S452: no), it returns.
For example, the correction conditions are when the reach effect is off, when the 20th rotation of the 1st and 2nd special figures fluctuates, when the 50th rotation fluctuates, and further, when the 1st special figure or the 2nd special figure fluctuates. A lottery may be conducted according to the above, and it may be decided whether or not to correct the fluctuation.
Further, the correction condition may be a condition that it is a preset fluctuation pattern dedicated to correction. That is, the variation pattern set by the main control device 40 and received by the sub-integrated control device 42 may be modified when it is a pattern dedicated to modification.

If the negative determination is made in the process S452 (process S452: no), it is determined in the process S453 whether or not there is a big hit in the reserved storage of the second special figure that has been pre-read. If it is affirmative (process S453: yes), it returns.
If it is a negative determination (process S453: no), the pseudo-support continuation number is corrected to the execution continuation number in the process S454 (corresponding to the continuation number correction means described in the claims). Subsequently, the display of the pseudo support continuation number modified in the process S455 is updated. As a result, the modified pseudo support continuation count is displayed as a new continuation count. Then return.

In the pseudo support number correction effect display, if the pseudo support continuation number is not corrected and reaches the actual continuation number, the effect of correcting with the final variation may be executed.
In addition, as a part of the pseudo-support count correction effect display, the effect of whether or not to correct the pseudo support continuation number is not performed, and the effect indicating that the continuation number display is corrected before the correction or the correction is performed. It is also possible to carry out an effect indicating that the effect is not achieved.

Next, an example of the pseudo support number production display and the pseudo support correction effect display will be shown with reference to FIG. 33. For example, a case is shown in which a big hit occurs in "Special Figure 1_10R Probability Change B Symbol" and the state shifts to the probability change game state and the normal electric support state after the big hit game ends. In this case, the number of times the Fuden support is continued is set to "60 times".
When the first first special figure or the second special figure starts to fluctuate after the big hit game is completed, as shown in FIG. 33 (a), the display screen of the effect symbol display device 46 is displayed in the lower half thereof. , The three-digit pseudo-effect symbol 700 corresponding to the first special figure or the second special figure is displayed in a variable manner. Then, in the upper half of the display screen, the character bear Tatsuyoshi 701 is displayed on the right side, and the Tatsuyoshi chance image 702 indicating that the state has shifted to the normal electric support state is displayed on the left side. Further below that, a pseudo support continuation number 703 indicating "100 times" different from the set continuation number (60 times) is displayed as the remaining number of times that the normal electric support state is continued.

Next, an example of an effect in which the number of times of pseudo support continuation is corrected on the condition that the effect is out of reach is shown. For example, when the game progresses and the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is the 30th rotation, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), the number of fluctuations of the special figure is subtracted at the pseudo support continuation number 703. The displayed "70 times" is displayed. Further, in the fluctuation, when the reach out effect is performed, the pseudo support continuation number is corrected, and the pseudo support correction effect display is performed at the time of the next change of the first special figure or the second special figure.

For example, as shown in FIG. 33 (c), in the variation of the 31st rotation, a correction suggestion image 704 indicating that the support continuation number has been corrected is displayed. Further, the pseudo effect symbol 700 is variablely displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen. Then, in the center of the display screen, a large-scale modified support continuation number 705 is displayed. In this case, the set number of continuations is 60 times, and since the special figure variation of 30 times has already been digested, it indicates that the remaining number of times is "30 times".

In addition, FIG. 34 shows an example of an effect in which the number of pseudo support continuations is modified according to other modification conditions. For example, a correction effect is shown on the condition that the 20th rotation is changed after a big hit occurs in "Special Figure 2_10R Probability Change C Symbol" and the game shifts to the probability change game state and the normal electric support state after the big hit game ends. In this case, the number of times the Fuden support is continued is set to "30 times".
When the first change of the first special figure or the second special figure is started after the big hit game is completed, the remaining number of times that the normal electric support state is continued is set as in the display example shown in FIG. 33 (a). , Pseudo-support continuation number 703 indicating "100 times" different from the set continuation number (30 times) is displayed.

When the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is the 20th rotation, as shown in FIG. 34 (a), "80 times" is displayed by subtracting the number of fluctuations of the special figure in the pseudo support continuation number 703. Will be done. Then, the number of times the pseudo-support is continued is corrected, and the pseudo-support correction effect display is performed when the first special figure or the second special figure changes next time.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), in the variation of the 21st rotation, the correction suggestion image 704 indicating that the support continuation number has been corrected is displayed. Then, in the corrected support continuation number 705 in the center of the display screen, it is shown that the remaining number of times obtained by subtracting the already digested fluctuation amount (20 times) from the set continuation number (30 times) is "10 times". ..
By modifying the number of times the pseudo support continues in this way, the remaining number of times is displayed, so the player's expectation for shifting to the small hit rush after the end of the normal electric support state increases, and the fun of the game increases. It will be.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 has a configuration in which the pachinko machine 1 shifts to the probabilistic game state and the normal electric support state (100 times) in the “special figure 1_10R probability change A symbol” and the “special figure 2_10R probability change A symbol”. In "1_10R normal A symbol" and "special diagram 2_10R normal A symbol", the game state is changed to the normal state probability state and the normal electric support state (100 times). Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1, after the fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure ends at the 100th rotation, the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state or the normal gaming state, that is, a small hit. It is possible to carry out a special effect display such as whether or not to shift to the rush.

For example, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), in the variation of the 100th rotation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the pseudo support continuation number 703 is set to "0 times" on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 46. Is displayed. In this case, the same effect is performed in the pseudo-effect display regardless of whether the normal probability state is the normal power support state or the probabilistic game state is the normal power support state.

After that, the pseudo-effect display shifts to a special effect such as whether or not to shift to the small hit rush. For example, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 46, a final battle image 710 indicating that if the player wins, the small hit rush (Tatsuyoshi rush) is displayed is displayed on the upper left portion of the display screen. .. Then, in the lower half of the display screen, a fighting image 711 in which two karate practitioners fight is displayed.

Then, in the pachinko machine 1, if the game state in which the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is up to the 100th rotation is the probability change game state and the normal electric support state, the game state changes from the next change. It will be in a state and non-general support state, and will shift to a small hit rush. In this case, when the fluctuation of the 100th rotation is completed and the symbol is confirmed and displayed, it is suggested that the special effect display shifts to the small hit rush.

For example, as shown in FIG. 35 (c), on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 46, a Tatsuyoshi rush rush image 712 indicating the transition to the small hit rush (Tatsuyoshi rush) is displayed in the upper left portion thereof. Then, in the lower half of the display screen, the winning video 713 in which the leading karate family wins is displayed.

On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 1, if the gaming state in which the number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure is up to the 100th rotation is the normal probability state and the normal electric support state, the gaming state is the normal probability from the next fluctuation. It will shift to the non-general support state (normal game state). In this case, when the fluctuation of the 100th rotation is completed and the symbol is confirmed and displayed, it is suggested that the special effect display does not shift to the small hit rush.

For example, as shown in FIG. 36A, on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 46, a Tatsuyoshi rush non-rush image 714 indicating that the small hit rush (Tatsuyoshi rush) does not shift is displayed in the upper left portion thereof. .. Then, in the lower half of the display screen, the defeat video 715 that the leading karate practitioner lost is displayed.

It is desirable that the pachinko machine 1 notifies the player when the gaming state shifts to the small hit rush. In this case, in the small hit rush, since it is a right-handed game aiming at the second special figure start port 24, the main special figure becomes the second special figure, and the effect symbol display device 46 accompanies the change of the second special figure. Pseudo effect display is carried out.

For example, FIG. 36B is a display example of the effect performed by the effect symbol display device 46 in the small hit rush, and shows an example when the small hit of the second special figure occurs. When a small hit occurs in the 2nd special figure, the 3-digit pseudo-effect symbol 700 corresponding to the 2nd special figure is changed at the same time as the change of the 2nd special figure, and then the "small hit" symbol is aligned and stopped. , Notify the player that there is a possibility that the prize balls will increase due to the small hit. Then, on the upper right side of the display screen, the smiling character Tatsuyoshi 701 is displayed. A Tatsuyoshi rush image 720 is displayed on the upper right side of the display screen. In this way, it is desirable to notify the player that the small hit rush is currently in progress.

The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has a first gaming area [L] in which a gaming ball launched with a firing power less than a predetermined force is likely to flow down, and a gaming ball launched with a firing power greater than or equal to a predetermined force. A second game area [R] in which there is a high possibility that the game will flow down, a first starting port [23] provided at a position where a game ball flowing down the first game area can enter, and a second A second starting port [24] provided at a position where a game ball flowing down the game area can enter, a closed state in which it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port, and a closed state than the closed state. An ordinary electric accessory [22] that can be changed to an open state where it is easy to enter a ball, and a large winning opening [25] that is provided at a position where a game ball that flows down at least a second game area can enter. ], The first hit / fail determination means [FIG. 11: S314], and the first hit / fail determination means for performing the hit / fail judgment based on the first numerical data extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the first start port. A second hit / fail judgment means [FIG. 14: S344, S350] for performing a hit / fail judgment based on the second numerical data extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the starting port of 2, and a normal electric combination. A third pass / fail determination means [FIG. 25: S613] that determines whether or not to change an object to an open state, and after the first special symbol is variablely displayed as one of the special symbols, the first The first special symbol display device [28A] for confirming and displaying the special symbol with a symbol indicating the result of the hit / fail judgment of the first hit / fail determination means, and the second special symbol as one of the special symbols after being variablely displayed. The second special symbol display device [28B] that confirms and displays the second special symbol with a symbol indicating the result of the hit / fail determination of the second hit / miss determination means, and the change display of the special symbol from the start to the final display. When the fluctuation time determining means for determining the fluctuation time [FIG. 11: S316, S321, FIG. 13: S346, S352, S356] and the special symbol are confirmed and displayed with the predetermined jackpot symbol, the jackpot is opened. When the big hit game executing means [FIG. 17: S505] that generates the big hit game state and the special symbol are confirmed and displayed in the predetermined small hit symbol, the big winning opening is opened in the predetermined small hit opening mode. When the winning is determined by the small hit game executing means [FIG. 21: S553] that generates the small hit game state and the third winning / failing determination means, the ordinary electric accessory is opened so that the ball can be entered in a predetermined manner. With the execution of the normal symbol-per-game game executing means [FIG. 28: S703] for executing the symbol-per-symptom game and the hit / fail determination of the first hit / miss determination means or the second hit / miss determination means, the first special feature The effect symbol display device [46] that displays the effect symbol corresponding to another symbol or the second special symbol, and the game state after the end of the jackpot game are determined as a jackpot by the first hit / fail determination means or the second hit / fail determination means. Probability fluctuation state setting means [Fig. 20: S535] that sets a high-probability gaming state in which the probability of being determined is higher than that of a low-probability gaming state, and support that makes it advantageous to enter a normal electric accessory after the jackpot game is completed. A normal electric accessory support setting means [FIG. 20: S538] that can be set to a state is provided, and the probability of being determined as a small hit by the second hit / fail determination means is higher than the probability of being determined as a big hit. Even if one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is changing, the other special symbol is configured to be variable and is confirmed and displayed after the variable display of the second special symbol is started. The average fluctuation time up to is shorter in the high-probability gaming state than in the low-probability gaming state, at least when the support state is not set. The means is to set the number of times the support state is continued to be less than or equal to the number of times the game state is continued when the support state is set together with the setting of the high-probability gaming state, and a plurality of types of support continuation with different times are set. The number of times is provided, and one of the support continuation times is selected according to a predetermined condition. After the big hit game is completed, when the support state is set by the ordinary electric accessory support setting means, the support state continues. The configuration is provided with a support continuation number display means [FIG. 31: S404] for displaying the support continuation number to be displayed on the effect symbol display device.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 includes a pseudo support continuation number display means [FIG. 31: S404] that displays a pseudo support continuation number different from the support continuation number selected by the ordinary electric accessory support setting means, and the selected support continuation. It is configured to include a continuation number correction means [FIG. 32: S453] that corrects the pseudo support continuation number according to the situation of the game before reaching the number of times.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 has a hold storage means [FIG. 9: S207] that stores up to a predetermined upper limit number of second numerical data as hold storage, and a second numerical value before the hit / fail judgment by the special symbol hit / miss determination means. The look-ahead determination means [FIG. 9: S208] that performs the look-ahead determination based on the data, and the continuation number correction means are pseudo on the condition that there is no numerical data that becomes a big hit in the hold memory by the look-ahead determination means. It is a configuration that corrects the number of support continuations.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 is a game in which the general electric accessory 22 is arranged at an upstream position of the large winning opening 25 of the right-handed game area R, and the general electric accessory 22 is in a closed state and flows down to the downstream thereof. The ball reaches the big winning opening 25. Then, when the normal electric support state is set together with the probabilistic game state after the jackpot game ends, the number of times the support state continues is less than the number of times the probabilistic game state continues, and the probable change game after the support state ends. It is a configuration in which the state continues. Then, in the probabilistic game state and the non-general support state, the fluctuation time of the second special figure is shorter in the probabilistic game state than in the low probability state, and the probability of being determined as a small hit in the second special figure is determined as a big hit. Since it is higher than the probability of being played, it is possible to frequently acquire a small hit game by performing a right-handed game. Further, in the non-general support state, since the opening time of the general electric accessory 22 is not long, it does not interfere with the entry of the large winning opening 25 in the small hit game, and the prize ball of the small hit game can be obtained.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is a game configuration of a small hit rush in which a small hit game is frequently executed in a probabilistic game state and a non-general electric support state, and the player increases the number of balls held. You will want to move to a small hit rush that is possible. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 is configured to change the number of times the pachinko machine 1 continues in the normal power support state according to the conditions when the big hit occurs (the type of the set big hit symbol). It is possible to give the player a feeling of expectation of how quickly the small hit rush can be transitioned from the state, a feeling of expectation for the continuation of the small hit rush, and a feeling of expectation for the subsequent big hit. Furthermore, it is possible to give the player the enjoyment of being able to increase the number of balls held even if a big hit does not occur in the probabilistic game state. In addition, it is possible to give new playability such that the smaller the number of continuations is, the more advantageous the Fuden support state is. Therefore, it is possible to add fun to the game composition related to the small hit rush and realize a ball game machine with a rich interest.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 displays, for example, a numerical value larger than the support continuation number selected by the ordinary electric accessory support setting means as the pseudo support continuation number immediately after the jackpot game is completed. After that, as the game progresses and the number of continuation times is corrected and subtracted by the means for correcting the number of continuations, the expectation for the transition to the small hit rush can be increased, so the number of continuations is reduced. Even if it looks like this, it can give joy to the player.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1, the player is expected to have a small hit rush by modifying the display of the number of times the normal electric support state is continued, but if a big hit occurs without shifting to the small hit rush, the small hit rush There is a risk that the player will feel lost because the prize ball cannot be expected to be won by the player. Therefore, by utilizing the look-ahead judgment and not modifying the continuation number display when there is a big hit in the look-ahead, the player can enjoy the big hit without making the player feel like a loss without having the expectation of a small hit rush. You can do it.

The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment may perform an effect of displaying the number of times of pseudo support continuation in the normal electric support state after the end of the big hit game during the big hit game.
Further, the pachinko machine 1 may have a plurality of types of effect display forms as the effect display for correcting (subtracting) the number of times of pseudo support continuation, and may have a configuration in which the degree of expectation to be modified differs depending on the effect display form to be implemented. .. For example, in an effect in which a specific character is displayed, it is desirable that the degree of expectation for correction is high and the correction is made to the correct number of continuations.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1, the same effect display is performed in the probabilistic game state and the normal electric support state and the normal probability state and the general electric support state, but the effect is not limited to this. May be able to distinguish between the two. For example, even in the normal game state, if it is unknown whether the game is in the probabilistic game state or the normal probability state, the player may be worried that the game will return to the normal game state when the normal power support state ends. I will hold it. Therefore, by making it possible to determine the state on the effect display, it is possible to give the player a sense of security regarding the end of the normal electric support state in the probabilistic game state and the general electric support state.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the ball can enter the second special figure starting port 24 only when the general electric accessory 22 is opened. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the second special figure starting port may be configured so that the ball can always be entered by a right-handed game.
As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 37, in the game board 2B, in the left-handed game area L, a normal drawing operating gate 21, a first special drawing starting port 231 that can always win a prize, and a general electric service The first special figure start port 232 that can enter the ball when the object 22 and the general electric accessory 22 are opened is arranged. Then, in the right-handed game area R, a second special drawing start port 24A that can always enter the ball may be arranged downstream of the passage 205.

In this case, on the downstream side of the passage 205, a branch portion 207 that distributes the flow direction of the game ball flowing down through the normal drawing operating gate 21 to the left and right is arranged. The branch portion 207 has an action of distributing the game ball colliding with the tip to the left side or the right side.

Then, the second special drawing start port 24A is arranged on the right side of the branch portion 207. The second special figure starting port 24A is configured to be open upward so that a ball can always be entered (winning). The second special figure starting port 24A is configured so that only a game ball that has passed through the normal drawing operating gate 21 and is distributed to the right side of the branch portion 207 can enter the ball.

On the left side of the branch portion 207, a large winning opening 25 through which a game ball flowing down from the flow path 208 can enter is arranged. Only the game ball that has passed through the passage 205, is guided to the left by the branch portion 207, and has flowed down the passage 208 can reach the large winning opening 25. The large winning opening 25 is normally closed by the special electric door 251. Further, it is desirable to arrange the general winning opening 27 on the downstream side of the large winning opening 25.
In this configuration, left-handed games are performed in the normal probability state and non-normal power support state, the normal probability state and normal power support state, the probabilistic game state and the normal power support state, and the non-normal probability state and non-normal power support state (small hit rush). ) Is used to play a right-handed game.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be variously implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the big hit game, the small hit, and the game are performed by one big winning opening 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, two large winning openings may be arranged on the game board, one large winning opening may be used to perform a big hit game, and the other large winning opening may be used to perform a small hit game.
Further, the present invention is an enclosed gaming machine that collects launched gaming balls inside the gaming machine, launches them again by a launching device, and manages the number of balls held by the player as data using a storage medium such as an IC card. May be applied to.
