3. Basic Game Next, the basic game of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described. The pachinko game machine PY1 can execute a special figure game and a normal figure game using game balls fired by operating the handle 72k.

3-1. Special game Pachinko game machine PY1 acquires the right to receive a jackpot judgment when a game ball enters the first starting hole 11 or a game ball enters the second starting hole 12, and the acquired right Make a jackpot judgment based on. Then, the pachinko game machine PY1 variably displays a special figure according to the result of the big hit determination. The mode of variable display of special figures (also referred to as "variable display time") varies depending on the type of variation pattern described later.

The right to receive the jackpot determination is, for example, a random number value, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the jackpot determination based on the obtained random number value. The jackpot determination is for determining whether or not to perform a jackpot game. When a jackpot game is performed, the jackpot is won, and when a small hit game is performed, a small hit is won. If you don't do either, you lose.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the first special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11.例文帳に追加The variable display of the first special figure is, for example, a display in which the two LEDs in the upper left part of the indicators 8 blink. Pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern elapses, performs the stop display of the first special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As the mode of the stop display of the first special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs in the upper left part are lit) and a mode indicating small win winning (for example, only one LED in the upper left part is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the upper left is lit).

On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the second special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加The variable display of the second special figure is, for example, a display in which the two lower left LEDs of the indicators 8 blink. The pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern elapses, performs the stop display of the second special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As a mode of stop display of the second special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs at the lower left are lit) and a mode indicating small hit winning (for example, only one LED at the lower left is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the lower left is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the first start opening 11 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs prefetching determination to be described later, and reserves the special figure 1 right to receive the acquired jackpot determination. remember as On the other hand, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs prefetching determination and stores the right to receive the acquired jackpot determination as a special figure 2 reservation. do. Pachinko game machine PY1 can store special figure 1 suspension and special figure 2 suspension up to a predetermined number (for example, 4 special figure 1 suspensions and 4 special figure 2 suspensions). The pachinko game machine PY1 performs jackpot determination for the special figure 1 suspension and the special figure 2 suspension after the special figure is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation are stored at the same time, the jackpot judgment for the special figure 2 reservation may be preferentially performed, and the big hit judgment for the special figure 1 reservation It may be performed preferentially, or the jackpot determination may be performed in the order in which it is stored.

The look-ahead determination is to determine in advance whether or not a jackpot game will be performed (whether or not a jackpot will be won in the jackpot determination) before the jackpot determination is performed, and when the jackpot game is performed Pre-reading winning is determined, and pre-reading non-winning is determined when no big winning game is played. In addition, when it is possible to determine a plurality of types of variation patterns, it is possible to perform variation pattern pre-determination in which the variation pattern to be determined is determined in advance in the pre-reading determination.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the special figure 1 reserve or the special figure 2 reserve is stored. The number of special figures 1 reserved, for example, is notified by lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the upper middle part of the display 8, and when the number of special figures 1 reserved is "1", only one LED lights up, special figures When the number of 1 reservations is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the number of special 1 reservations is "3", only one LED blinks, When the number of special 1 reservations is "4", Only two LEDs flash. On the other hand, the number of special figures 2 reserved is notified by, for example, lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the middle and lower part of the display 8, and when the number of special figure 2 reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, When the special figure 2 reservation number is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the special figure 2 reservation number is "3", only one LED flashes, and the special figure 2 reservation number is "4" Sometimes only two LEDs flash.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a jackpot game after stop-displaying the first special symbol or the second special symbol in a manner indicating winning of the jackpot. The jackpot game, which will be described later in detail, is a game in which a round game in which the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 is opened is performed a plurality of times (for example, 10 times). The jackpot game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 gives an opportunity to win a game ball (opportunity to win a prize ball). Incidentally, the jackpot game ends when all of the round games are played a plurality of times.

On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a small winning game after stop-displaying the first special figure or the second special figure in a manner indicating winning of the small winning. Although details will be described later, the small winning game is a game in which the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). The small winning game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 gives an opportunity to win a game ball (opportunity to win a prize ball).

3-2. When a game ball passes through the gate 13, the general-purpose game pachinko game machine PY1 acquires the right to receive the hit determination, and performs the hit determination based on the acquired right. Then, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of a normal figure according to the result of the hit determination.

The hit determination is for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game, and if the auxiliary game is performed, it is hit and won, and if the auxiliary game is not performed, it is lost.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of a normal figure when a winning judgment is made by winning a game ball to the gate 13.例文帳に追加The normal variable display is a display in which a plurality of LEDs in the upper right portion of the display devices 8 blink. The pachinko game machine PY1, when a predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable display of the normal pattern, performs stop display of the normal pattern in a mode showing the result of the hit determination. As a mode of the stop display of the normal figure, there are a mode indicating winning (for example, all LEDs are lit) and a mode indicating losing (eg, only one LED is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the gate 13 during the variable display of the normal pattern, the pachinko game machine PY1 stores the acquired right to receive the hit determination as a normal pattern reservation. The pachinko game machine PY1 can store up to a predetermined number (for example, 2) of normal pattern suspensions. The pachinko game machine PY1 performs hit determination for the normal pattern hold after the normal pattern is stopped.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the normal pattern hold is stored. The number of normal figure reservations is notified by the lighting of multiple LEDs in the lower right part of the display device 8. For example, when the number of normal figure reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, and the number of normal figure reservations is " 2", only two LEDs are illuminated.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs an auxiliary game after stop-displaying a normal figure in a mode indicating winning. The auxiliary game, which will be described later in detail, is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 3.5 seconds). In the auxiliary game, the opening of the second start port 12 gives an opportunity to win a game ball to the second start port 12 (opportunity to win a prize ball, an opportunity to acquire the right to receive a jackpot determination). It is a game that is advantageous for people.
