Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)", and the low probability state is a "non-probability fluctuation state (non-probability change state)". In the following description, the high-probability state is referred to as a "probability-changing state", and the low-probability state is referred to as a "non-probability-changing state". Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shots of the game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the "non-electric support state".

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing a control of one arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the normal symbol that changes the probability of winning the normal hit lottery (normal win probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes control to increase the number of times the first variable member 28 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the above longer than that in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, which makes it easier for the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) to be shorter than in the low base state. When the fluctuation time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state is the so-called "variation time shortening state (variable shortening state)".

The gaming states include a non-probability state and a low base state, a non-probability state and a high base state, and a probabilistic state and a low base state. There is a gaming state, which is a state and a high base state. Then, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of gaming states.

In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when it is not in the jackpot game, in the special game, or in the interval between fluctuations. On the other hand, in the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes a negative determination when any of the big hit game, the special game, and the interval between fluctuations. When the determination result of the execution determination is negative (when the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied), the main control CPU 40a stores a standby command that can identify the standby state in the output buffer, and performs a special symbol start process. To finish.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied), the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. judge. When the number of the second special hold is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a finishes the special symbol start process after performing the second special symbol start process related to the execution of the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the first special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process after performing the first special symbol start process related to the execution of the first special game.

In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a is updated by subtracting 1 from the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a first hold number command capable of specifying the first special hold number after the update. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the first special game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. The jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery is at least partially different between the probabilistic state and the non-probable change state. After finishing the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the first special game, and a fluctuation pattern of the first special game. Specifically, when the jackpot lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number, and determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs the effect lottery based on the value of the effect determination random number. When the effect lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the out-of-order symbol, and determines the out-of-reach and variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the effect lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the out-of-order symbol and determines the out-of-reach-less variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main control CPU 40a has control information (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the determined special symbol and control information (hereinafter referred to as a variation pattern designation command) capable of specifying the variation pattern.

In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a stores the variation pattern designation command corresponding to the first special game in the output buffer.

In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a performs a process related to the execution of the second special game. In the second special symbol start process, the "first special game" is read as "second special game" and the "first special hold number" is read as "second special hold number" for the first special symbol start process. Since this is a processing process, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Then, when the special symbol start process is completed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern elapses, the special symbol determined in the special symbol start processing is fixedly stopped and displayed. Further, when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing elapses, the main control CPU 40a stores an end command for displaying a fixed stop display of the symbol combination by the effect symbol in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets an interval between fluctuations (for example, 2 seconds) after the special symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed, that is, after the end of the special game. In the interval between fluctuations, the special symbol that has been fixedly stopped and displayed with the end of the special game continues to be fixedly stopped and displayed.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the type of the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, after the end of the big hit special game, the main control CPU 40a starts the control of giving the specified big hit game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the control of granting the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot special game and after the interval between fluctuations has elapsed. The main control CPU 40a grants a jackpot game by executing a jackpot process. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot game is given after winning the jackpot.

When the big hit special game ends, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a clocks the opening time. Further, when the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing the round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so as to open the big winning opening 29 according to the opening mode (opening pattern) set for the big hit game, and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the large winning opening 29 is closed when the first round end condition or the second round end condition is satisfied, and ends the round game. Let me. The main control CPU 40a repeats the process for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games specified in the jackpot game is completed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the round command in the output buffer every time the round game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game is completed. When the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a clocks the ending time. Then, when the ending time elapses, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state after the jackpot game ends based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start processing. When the main control CPU 40a specifies that the control is to be performed in the non-probability change state, a value that can be specified to be controlled in the non-probability change state is set in the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c with the end of the big hit game. Set. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state command) that can identify the non-probability change state in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a specifies that the control is to be performed in the probabilistic state, the probabilistic state flag is set to a value that can be specified to be controlled in the probabilistic state with the end of the big hit game. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability state command) that can identify the probabilistic state in the output buffer.

It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled to the non-probability change state in the probability state flag when the big hit game is given, and is based on a value that can be specified to be controlled to the low base state. Set to the status flag. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the low probability state command in the output buffer and stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, the door opening process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether the door member is open based on whether the detection signal is input from the door opening sensor KS. When the detection signal (on signal) is input from the door opening sensor KS, the main control CPU 40a determines that the door member is open. When the detection signal is not input from the door opening sensor KS, the main control CPU 40a determines that the door member is not opened. If the door member is not opened, the main control CPU 40a ends the door opening process. On the other hand, when the door member is open, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a door open command) that can identify that the door member is open in the output buffer, and performs the door opening process. finish. When the main control CPU 40a stores the door opening command in the output buffer in the previous door opening process and determines that the door member is not opened in the current door opening process, the main control CPU 40a determines that the door is closed. The identifiable control information (hereinafter referred to as the door closing command) is stored in the output buffer.

Next, various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 41a based on the control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a low-probability state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the non-probability change state in the probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a high-probability state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the probabilistic state in the probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can specify whether or not it is in a probabilistic state by referring to the probability state flag of the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a low-base state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state in the base state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a high-base state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high-base state in the base state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can specify whether or not it is in a high base state by referring to the base state flag of the sub-control RAM 41c.

The sub-control CPU 41a is at least a part of various effect devices such as a frame lamp 17, a speaker 18, an effect display device 25, and a decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 so that a big hit effect is performed during a big hit game. To control. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least a part of various effect devices so that an opening effect is performed when an opening command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least a part of various effect devices so that a round effect is performed when a round command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least a part of the various effect devices so that the ending effect is performed when the ending command is input. The content of the jackpot effect may be different depending on the type of jackpot.

The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect game is played. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to execute the effect game when a symbol command and a variation pattern designation command are input. The sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination according to the effect symbol to be finally fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the jackpot symbol from the input symbol command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol. When the sub-control CPU 41a specifies a symbol that is out of alignment from the input symbol command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a combination of symbols that are out of alignment according to the effect symbol. For example, when the sub-control CPU 41a specifies a variation pattern with reach from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a combination of symbols that are out of reach including reach. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the non-reach variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the outlier symbol combination that does not include the reach.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the effect symbol in a variable manner. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the production game. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination according to the determined effect symbol at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a causes a fixed stop display of the symbol combination by the effect symbol, triggered by the input of the end command. The sub-control CPU 41a may time the fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern, and display the symbol combination as a fixed stop display when the fluctuation time elapses, regardless of the end command. In this case, the end command may be omitted.

When the door opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display an image TG indicating that the door member is opened. In the present embodiment, the image TG is an image including the character information "the door is open". In the present embodiment, displaying the image TG indicating that the door member is open on the effect display device 25 corresponds to performing the opening notification effect based on the detection of the opening of the door member. In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an opening notification effect for notifying that the door member is open during at least a part of the period during which the door member is open. Then, when the door closing command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the opening notification effect. In the present embodiment, the open notification effect is continuously performed during the period from the start to the end of the open notification effect. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display an image TG indicating that the door member is open during the period from the input of the door opening command to the input of the door closing command. do.

The sub-control CPU 41a displays an image EG indicating that when the door opening command is input and the detection signal (on signal) of the photo sensor PS is input, the movable body 50 is urged to move from the original position to the retracted position. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to display. In the present embodiment, the image EG is an image including the character information "Please move the movable body". In the present embodiment, displaying the image EG indicating that the movable body 50 is urged to move from the original position to the retracted position is displayed on the effect display device 25, that the opening of the door member is detected, and the movable body. It corresponds to performing a specific effect based on the detection that the position of 50 is the original position. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the specific effect when the movable body 50 moves from the original position in a state where the door member is open, that is, when the detection signal of the photo sensor PS is no longer input.
