Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine, the front side of which is covered with a front frame 10Z, and the gaming plate 11 is passed through a glass window 10W formed in the front frame 10Z. The game area R1 of is visible. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, "right" and "left" mean "right" and "left" when the gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front.

An upper plate 26 and a lower plate 27 are provided in two upper and lower stages below the glass window 10W of the front frame 10Z, and an operation handle 28 is provided on the right side of the lower plate 27. When the operation handle 28 is rotated, the game ball housed in the upper plate 26 is ejected toward the game area R1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 has a substantially circular shape as a whole and is surrounded by the guide rail 12. A display opening 11H is formed through the center of the game area R1 of the game board 11, and the display screen 13G of the display device 13 faces forward through the display opening 11H.

A display decorative frame 23 is attached to the opening edge of the display opening 11H. The display decorative frame 23 is fitted into the display opening 11H from the front side of the game board 11 and protrudes from the front surface of the game board 11 to restrict the game ball flowing down the game area R1 from entering the inside of the display decorative frame 23. ing.

The display opening 11H is arranged in the middle and near the upper end of the game area R1 in the lateral direction, and is located on the left side, the right side, and the lower side of the display decorative frame 23 in the game area, on the left side flow area R2 and the right side where the game ball can flow down. A flow-down region R3 and a lower flow-down region R4 are formed. Further, an upper arc wall 25 extending in an arc shape along the guide rail 12 is provided on the upper portion of the display decorative frame 23, and one game ball is provided between the upper arc wall 25 and the guide rail 12. An upper connecting flow path 25R that can pass through is formed. Further, in the right side of the display decorative frame 23, the space between the display opening 11H and the right end of the guide rail 12 is filled without a gap, and the communication flow connecting the upper communication flow path 25R and the right flow area R3. A communication flow path component 24 having a road 24R is provided.

A starting gate 18 is provided in the right flow area R3. A large winning opening 15 is provided in a portion of the right flow area R3 below the starting gate 18. A first starting winning opening 14A, a second starting winning opening 14B, and an out opening 16 are provided side by side in order from the top in the central portion in the left-right direction in the lower flow area R4. Further, the game area R1 is provided with a plurality of general winning openings 20 in addition to the starting winning openings 14A and 14B and the large winning openings 15. The game balls that do not win any of the winning openings 14A, 14B, 15 and 20 are all taken into the out opening 16 arranged at the lower end of the lower flow area R4.

Next, each required part will be described in more detail. The general winning opening 20 has a so-called pocket structure and is open to the upper surface or the side surface of a member protruding from the front surface of the game plate 11, and is opened to a size that allows exactly one game ball to enter. Then, when the game balls enter the general winning opening 20, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as prize balls.

The starting gate 18 has a gate-shaped structure through which the game ball can dive and pass, and when the game ball passes through the starting gate 18, a normal symbol hit / miss determination is performed. The determination result of the normal symbol hit / miss determination is displayed on the normal symbol display unit (not shown).

The first starting winning opening 14A has a pocket structure similar to that of the general winning opening 20. The second starting winning opening 14B is opened to the front side and is opened and closed by the rotating door 14T. Specifically, the rotating door 14T is normally arranged in a vertically standing closed position, and rotates around the lower end portion on condition that the result of the above-mentioned normal symbol hit / miss determination is a hit. However, it is placed in the open position, which has been moved forward. The rotating door 14T arranged at the open position receives the game ball flowing down from above and guides it to the second starting winning opening 14B.

When a game ball enters each of the starting winning openings 14A and 14B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as a prize ball, and a special symbol winning / failing determination is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters each of the starting winning openings 14A and 14B, the right to judge whether the special symbol is correct or not is generated. The determination result of the special symbol hit / miss determination is notified on the display screen 13G with the use of the determination right. Specifically, when the determination right is used, the display screen 13G performs a determination effect related to the determination result prior to the notification of the determination result. Then, when the determination result is a big hit, after the determination effect is completed, the big hit game state is set and the big hit game is executed. If the determination result is off, the normal gaming state, which is not the jackpot gaming state, continues.

The large winning opening 15 is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape, and is closed by a movable door 15T in a normal gaming state. When the big hit game is performed in the big hit game state, the movable door 15T is tilted forward for a predetermined period to open the big winning opening 15, and the movable door 15T is used as a guide to many big winning openings 15. Game balls can be won. When a game ball enters the large winning opening 15, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as a prize ball. In the jackpot game, a round game in which the jackpot 15 is opened a preset number of times is executed as many times as the number of times according to the jackpot game to be executed. One round game ends when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enters the large winning opening 15 or a preset round game time elapses.

As described above, the display screen 13G displays a determination effect related to the special symbol hit / miss determination. Specifically, three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed side by side and stopped at the center of the display screen 13G. Each of these special symbols 13A to 13C is composed of, for example, a plurality of types in which numbers, characters, etc. are written, and usually, for each of the special symbols 13A to 13C, a predetermined type is stopped and displayed. .. Then, when the game ball enters the starting winning openings 14A and 14B, these three special symbols 13A to 13C are displayed in a variable manner (for example, scrolled in the vertical direction), and after a predetermined time has elapsed, for example, left, right, and so on. It is stopped and displayed in the order of middle. Then, the combination of the stopped special symbols 13A to 13C is used to notify the determination result of the special symbol hit / miss determination. Specifically, when the special symbols 13A to 13C are all the same symbol (doublet), it indicates that it is a big hit, and when the special symbols 13A to 13C are combinations other than doublet, it indicates that it is out of order. It has become like.

When a game ball enters the starting winning openings 14A and 14B during the judgment effect or during the winning game, the judgment right resulting from the entry is reserved for, for example, up to four times, and the judgment result for each judgment right and the judgment result for each judgment right and Information about the determination effect is stored on hold. Then, when the execution determination effect or the winning game is completed, the determination right is used again, and the determination effect corresponding to the determination right is performed. At this time, the judgment right is used in the order of occurrence in principle.

When the determination right is suspended, the hold display body 31 corresponding to the reserved determination right (hereinafter referred to as “holding right”) is displayed on the display screen 13G. This makes it possible for the player to recognize how many reserved rights exist. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, for example, four hold display units 32 are shown side by side at the bottom of the display screen 13G, and when a hold right is generated, the hold display unit 32 on the left side The hold display body 31 is displayed in order. Therefore, when there are a plurality of reserved rights, the reserved display body 31 of the leftmost reserved display unit 32 corresponds to the oldest reserved right. When the hold right is used, the leftmost hold display body 31 moves to the in-use hold display unit 33 provided at the lower left of the display screen 13G, and a determination effect corresponding to the determination right is performed.

In the gaming machine 10, in the normal gaming state, the probability of winning in the normal symbol winning / failing determination is set low, and after the big hit game is completed, the probability of winning in the normal symbol winning / failing determination is higher than in the normal gaming state. Enter the "short-time game". That is, the gaming machine 10 shifts from the normal gaming state to the reduced working hours game triggered by the big hit game. Then, in the gaming machine 10, in a normal gaming state, a so-called “left-handed” is performed in which the game ball is launched so as to flow down the left-side flow-down area R2, and during the time-saving game, the right-side flow-down area R3 is flowed down. It is possible to provide the player with two types of hitting methods, such as launching a game ball, so-called "right-handed".

The time-saving game ends when the number of determination rights used after the end of the big hit game reaches the specified upper limit number (for example, 100), or when the big hit occurs during the time-saving game. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, when the big hit is established in the normal gaming state, the time-saving game is entered after the end of the big hit game, and when the second big hit is established during the time-saving game, after the end of the second big hit game, Enter the short-time game again. As described above, the gaming machine 10 does not return to the normal gaming state as long as the jackpot is established during the time-saving gaming that rushes in after the jackpot game is completed. In the following, the jackpot established in the normal gaming state will be referred to as the "first hit", and the number of jackpots established from the first hit to the return to the normal gaming state (including the first hit) will be referred to as the "number of consecutive chans". I will call it.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, two types of time-saving games, a low-probability time-saving game and a high-probability time-saving game, are provided. In the high-probability time-saving game, the probability of winning in the special symbol winning / failing judgment is higher than in the low-probability time-saving game. Therefore, in the high-probability time-saving game, the number of consecutive big hits is expected to increase as compared with the low-probability time-saving game.

By the way, in the jackpot game executed in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types having different contents of the jackpot game, specifically, the production performed during the jackpot game and the result of the V winning chance described below are provided. Has been done. Hereinafter, the types of jackpot games will be described.

In the gaming machine 10, a V winning chance is performed during the jackpot game. At the V winning chance, a game ball can enter the V winning section 21 (FIG. 2) provided in the right flow area R3. Specifically, the V winning unit 21 has a ball entry port 21A opened and closed by the movable wing piece 21H, and when a V winning chance is made, the ball entry port 21A is opened. Inside the V winning unit 21, a normal opening and a V confirmed opening (both not shown) are provided, and a game ball that has entered the entry opening 21A is distributed to either the normal opening or the V confirmed opening. A mechanism (not shown) is provided. Then, when the game ball enters the V confirmation opening at the V winning chance performed during the big hit game, the time-saving game that rushes in after the end of the big hit game is set as the high-probability time-saving game. If the game ball does not enter the V confirmed opening at the V winning chance, the low-probability time-saving game is set as the time-saving game after the big hit game ends. As described above, in the present embodiment, as the big hit game, a V passing big hit game in which the ball enters the V confirmed opening at the V winning chance and a V non-passing big hit game in which the ball does not enter the V fixed opening are provided.

More specifically, in the game machine 10 of the present embodiment, as a big hit, a high-probability V-passing big hit in which the game ball entered in the entry port 21A is easily distributed to the V-determined opening, and a higher-probability V-passing high-probability big hit. There are two types of low-probability jackpots that make it difficult for game balls that have entered the entry port 21A to be distributed to the V confirmation opening. The jackpot in the special symbol winning / failing determination based on the entry into the first starting winning opening 14A is a V-passing high probability jackpot with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2). All the big hits in the special symbol winning / failing judgment based on the entry into the second starting winning opening 14B are V-passing high-probability big hits.

Further, the gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of types of jackpot games in which the types of effects during the jackpot game are different. In the gaming machine 10, as the effects during the big hit game, a continuous big hit game effect and a special big hit game effect are provided.

The continuous jackpot game production is executed on the condition that the jackpot becomes a jackpot during the time-saving game and the holding right existing at the start of the jackpot game includes the holding right that becomes a jackpot (so-called holding inner ream chan). The right. The continuous jackpot game production is a production performed in the jackpot game executed first (hereinafter referred to as "the previous jackpot game") and a jackpot game based on the reserved right (hereinafter referred to as "later jackpot game"). The production to be performed and the production are composed in succession. Then, during the previous jackpot game, the first half of the continuous jackpot game production is performed, and during the later jackpot game, the second half of the continuous jackpot game production is performed.

In detail, the determination of whether or not the determination result of the reserved right existing at the start of the previous jackpot game is a jackpot is performed on the premise that the high-probability time-saving game is executed after the end of the previous jackpot game. .. Therefore, when the low-probability time-saving game is executed after the end of the previous big hit game, the latter half of the continuous big hit game effect is not executed regardless of whether or not the later big hit game is executed. In the case where the subsequent big hit game is not executed, the determination result of the holding right is a big hit in the high-probability time-saving game and is out of the case in the low-probability time-saving game. Further, the case where the later big hit game is executed is a case where the determination result of the holding right becomes a big hit in both the high-probability time-saving game and the low-probability time-saving game. In any case, in the previous jackpot game, the first half of the continuous jackpot game production is executed.

The special jackpot game production is executed when the special production execution conditions are satisfied. Examples of special production conditions are that the lottery that is performed at the same time as the special symbol winning / failing judgment is won, that the judgment right after the end of the previous big hit game is the specified number of times of use, and the specified upper limit number in the time-saving game. The remaining number of times the judgment right has been used until reaching is less than the predetermined number of times.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot type icon 100 representing the types of jackpots for the most recent plurality of times is displayed on the display screen 13G (FIG. 3).
