Incidentally, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with game components such as nails (game nails) and windmills for changing the behavior of the game balls flowing down the game area 21 . In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be provided with a general prize winning opening in which the condition for starting the special game and the condition for starting the normal game are not satisfied, but the condition for paying out prize balls is satisfied. The general winning opening is also called a normal winning opening.

Next, in this embodiment, the path along which the game ball flows will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of paths as paths along which game balls flow down in the game area 21, depending on the shooting intensity of the game balls. The route along which the game ball flows can also be grasped as an area in which the game ball flows. The plurality of routes include a first route R1 passing through the left side of the center frame 23 and reaching the outlet 34, and a second route R2 passing through the right side of the center frame 23 and reaching the outlet 34. The first route R1 and the second route R2 may partially overlap or may not overlap entirely. Hereinafter, when the game board 20 is viewed from the front, the area located on the left side of the center line CL that bisects the game area 21 to the left and right will be referred to as the left area R1a, and the area located on the right side of the center line CL will be referred to as the right area. It is shown as region R2a. The route that flows down the left region R1a corresponds to the first route R1, and the route that flows down the right region R2a corresponds to the second route R2. The left area R1a can be said to be the left area of the game board 20. FIG. Similarly, the right region R2a can be said to be the right region of the game board 20. FIG.

Then, the player operates the shooting handle 16 to adjust the shooting intensity of the game ball, thereby sorting the game ball into the left area R1a and the right area R2a, starting openings 26 and 27, the big winning opening 29, and the gate. A game ball can be entered into 31. Specifically, when the game ball is shot by adjusting the launch strength to be weaker (so-called left-handed hitting), the game ball is likely to flow down and guided to the left region R1a, and may enter the first start port 26. There is On the other hand, when the game ball is shot by adjusting the launch strength to a stronger value (so-called right-handed hitting), the game ball is easily guided to flow down to the right region R2a, and the second starting port 27, the big winning port 29, and the gate 31 It is possible to enter the ball. That is, it can be said that there is a first starting port 26 on the first route R1, and there are a second starting port 27, a big prize winning port 29 and a gate 31 on the second route R2. When flowing down the first route R1, the game ball is less likely to enter the second starting port 27, the big prize winning port 29, or the gate 31 than when flowing down the second route R2. When flowing down on the second route R2, the game ball is less likely to enter the first starting port 26 than when flowing down on the first route R1. Thus, the second starting port 27 corresponding to the specific starting port is arranged in the right area of the game board 20 . In this specification, shooting a game ball so that the game ball flows down the first route R1 is referred to as "left hitting", and shooting a game ball so that the game ball flows down the second route R2. This is sometimes indicated as "right hitting".

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game 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 shot game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the game ball has a higher probability of entering the second starting port 27 than in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electrical support state", and the low base state is the "non-electrical support state". The high base state has a higher advantage for entering the second starting hole 27 than the low base state. As described above, the game states (types of game states) include the low base state and the high base state in which the advantage of entering the second start hole 27 is higher than in the low base state. In this embodiment, the low base state corresponds to the first game state, and the high base state corresponds to the second game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the game state includes the first game state and the second game state in which the advantage of entering the specific start hole is higher than in the first game state.

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control for shortening the variation time of the normal game as compared to the low base state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control for varying the probability of winning the normal winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is open time extension control that makes the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal per game longer than in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, the control to increase the number of opening times of the first variable member 28 in one normal winning game than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal winning game At least one of the controls for making the open time of is longer than in the low base state.

By the way, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the high base state is realized by performing the "open time extension control" which is the third control among the first control to the third control. For example, in this embodiment, the variation time of the normal game in the high base state is the same as the variation time of the normal game in the low base state. In this embodiment, the normal winning probability in the high base state is the same as the normal winning probability in the low base state. In this embodiment, the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal per game when in the high base state is the first variable member 28 in one normal per game when in the low base state longer than the total open time.

Also, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the low base state. When the variable time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state (variable short state)".

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state. There is However, when it is in the low base state, for example, it is configured so as not to win the normal winning lottery, and when it is in the low base state, the first variable member 28 is not opened, and the game is opened to the second start port 27. It may be configured so that the ball does not enter the ball. In addition, when it is in the low base state, for example, even if it wins the normal winning lottery, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be in the open state, so that the game ball does not enter the second start port 27. can be configured to In the above configuration, the low base state is a state in which a game ball cannot enter the second starting port 27, and the high base state is a state in which a game ball can enter the second starting port 27. I can say.

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as special jackpot symbols. The plural kinds of jackpot patterns are classified into first jackpot patterns, second jackpot patterns, third jackpot patterns, and fourth jackpot patterns. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. Specifically, the jackpot patterns classified as the first jackpot patterns are "first jackpot", the jackpot patterns classified as the second jackpot patterns are "second jackpot", and the jackpot patterns classified as the third jackpot patterns. A "third big win" is defined in the figure, and a "fourth big win" is defined in the big win patterns classified into the fourth big win patterns. In this embodiment, the first and second jackpots correspond to specific hits, and the third jackpot corresponds to non-specific hits. Thus, the types of wins include specific wins and non-specific wins.

A game state after the end of the jackpot game is determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. Specifically, for the jackpot patterns classified as the first jackpot patterns, the game state after the jackpot game ends is until the 1000th special game is finished, or before the 1000th special game is finished. A high base state is established until a jackpot game is awarded. That is, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols is 1000 times. In addition, for the jackpot patterns classified as the second jackpot patterns, the game state after the jackpot game ends is until the 1000th special game is finished, or before the 1000th special game is finished. It is determined to be in a high base state until is granted. That is, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game based on the big win symbols classified as the second big win symbols is 1000 times. In addition, for the jackpot patterns classified as the third jackpot patterns, the game state after the jackpot game ends is until the 100th special game is finished, or before the 100th special game is finished. It is determined to be in a high base state until is granted. That is, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game based on the big win symbols classified as the third big win symbols is 100 times. In addition, the jackpot symbols classified as the fourth jackpot symbols are set to be in a low base state as the game state after the jackpot game ends. The setting of the low base state after the end of the big win game can also be regarded as the number of times of the special game in which the high base state is set after the end of the big win game.

Also, in the big-hit game, first, an opening performance for notifying the start of the big-hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the jackpot game, a round game is performed in which the jackpot 29 is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is performed with a predetermined upper limit number of times as the upper limit. In one round game, the big winning opening 29 is opened until the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, or the second round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses is satisfied. open for a while. In the round game, a round production is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game is finished, an ending performance for notifying the end of the jackpot game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends. In addition, the upper limit number of round games is set for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when comparing when the first special game results in a big win and when the second special game results in a big win, the types of jackpots to be decided and the decision rates of various jackpots are determined. can be different. In the following description, the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern classified as the first jackpot pattern is called "first jackpot game", and the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern classified as the second jackpot pattern is called "second jackpot game". may indicate. Similarly, in the following description, the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern classified as the third jackpot pattern is the "third jackpot game", and the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern classified as the fourth jackpot pattern is the "fourth jackpot game". ” may be indicated respectively.

Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the high base state after the first big win game, the second big win game and the third big win game are finished. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and the kind of the big win is the first big win or the second big win, a specific condition is established and the game is controlled to a high base state after the big win game is finished. That is, in the present embodiment, when a winning lottery is won and the type of winning is a specific winning, the specific condition is satisfied and the game is controlled to the second game state after the winning game is finished. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and the kind of big win is the third big win, a specific condition is not established and the game is controlled to a high base state after the big win game is finished. That is, in the present embodiment, when winning is won in the winning lottery and the type of winning is non-specific winning, the specific condition is not satisfied and the game is controlled to the second game state after the winning game is finished. And, in the present embodiment, when the control to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is controlled to the high base state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is satisfied Equivalent to. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, controlling to the high base state after finishing the third big winning game corresponds to controlling to the high base state after finishing the winning game when the specific condition is not established. In this embodiment, the upper limit number of times of the variation game controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is satisfied is 1000 times. In other words, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is the number of times greater than the upper limit number of times of the variable game controlled to the second game state after the winning game ends when the specific condition is established. Further, in the present embodiment, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is not established is 100 times. As described above, the second game state may be controlled after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is satisfied. Also, the second game state may be controlled after the winning game ends when the specific condition is not established.

Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, even if a big win is not won in the big win lottery, the high base state may be controlled.
For example, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the variable game executed without giving the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot game reaches 1001 times corresponding to the specified number of times, the high base is set. state may be controlled. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, after the end of the first big win game, it is controlled to the high base state until the 1000th special game is executed, and when the 1001st special game is executed, the base state is temporarily increased. After the 1001st special game is over, it is again controlled to the high base state. In this embodiment, the predetermined period is a period from the end of the winning game to the awarding of the winning game. Then, in the present embodiment, when the number of executions of the variable game executed without awarding the winning game after the winning game is completed reaches the prescribed number of times, the number of executions of the variable game within the predetermined period is reduced to the prescribed number of times. reach. As described above, the second game state may be controlled when the number of executions of the variable game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number. In other words, the second gaming state may be controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game. That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of executions of the variable game executed without giving the winning game after the winning game reaches the specified number of times, the second game state is controlled. It is controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game. Then, in the present embodiment, when the number of executions of the variation game executed without giving the winning game after the end of the winning game reaches the specified number of times, the second variation game is executed with the end of the specified number of times of the variation game. It is controlled to a game state. In this way, the second game is played when the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state based on the number of times of execution of the variable game, that is, the number of times of execution of the variable game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. The upper limit of the number of variable games controlled by the state is 1000 times. The upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second gaming state based on the number of executions of the variable game corresponds to the first upper limit number of times. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game, the second game state can be controlled until the first upper limit number of variable games are executed as the upper limit. be.

Incidentally, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. It is the same as the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the base state. The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is triggered by the fact that the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. The number may be greater than the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the base state. In other words, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is increased when the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. It may be equal to or more than the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the base state. That is, the upper limit number of variable games to be controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is satisfied is set to the second limit when the number of variable games executed within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. It is equal to or greater than the upper limit number of variable games controlled in the gaming state. On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the third jackpot game is finished is controlled to the high base state when the number of times the special game is executed after the jackpot game is finished reaches the specified number of times. less than the maximum number of variable games. That is, the upper limit number of variable games that are controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is not established is set to the second limit when the number of variable games executed within the predetermined period reaches the predetermined number. It is less than the upper limit number of variable games controlled in the gaming state.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be controlled to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game in the low base state. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, in principle, after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game in the high base state, the chance patterns are not controlled to the high base state when the chance patterns are fixed and stopped. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, only when the high base state is the high base state controlled with the opportunity that the chance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the special game, the chance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the special game. after being controlled to the high base state.

In the following description, the high base state in the case of being controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game may be referred to as "first high base state". Further, in the following description, when the high base state is controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, the high base state is referred to as the "second high base state." There is Similarly, in the following description, the high base state in the special game after the chance symbols are fixed and displayed and then controlled to the high base state may be referred to as the "third high base state".

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, there are a first chance symbol as a first specified result and a second chance symbol as a second specified result as the chance symbols as the specified result. In this embodiment, the result derived in the variation game when the winning lottery is not won includes a specific result. Also, in the present embodiment, the first chance symbol corresponds to the second result. That is, in the present embodiment, there is a second result among the results derived in the variation game when the winning lottery does not win. For the plurality of types of chance symbols, a period is set for controlling to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped. Specifically, when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game in the low base state, after that, until the special game is completed 1,000 times, or 1,000 A high base state is established until a big win game is awarded before the end of the special game of the round. Similarly, in the first chance symbol, when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game in the third high base state, after that, until the 1000th special game is completed, or It is determined that the high base state is maintained until the jackpot game is awarded before the 1000th special game is completed. That is, the upper limit of the number of variable games controlled to the second gaming state after the second result is derived in the variable game is 1000 times. The upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second gaming state after the second result is derived in the variable game corresponds to the second upper limit number of times. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variation game, the second game state is entered until the second upper limit number of variation games are executed as the upper limit. Controllable.

Further, as for the second chance symbols, when the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game in the low base state, after that, until the special game is completed 50 times, or until the 50 times special game is completed. A high base state is established until a jackpot game is awarded before the special game ends. Similarly, in the second chance symbols, when the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game in the third high base state, after that, until 50 special games are completed, or It is determined that the high base state is maintained until the jackpot game is awarded before the 50 special games are completed. That is, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped is 50 times in the special game.

As described above, the second gaming state may be controlled after the specific result is derived in the variable game. That is, the second gaming state may be controlled after the second result is derived in the variable game. In particular, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, the chance symbols are controlled to the high base state upon completion of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and stopped. be done. That is, when the variation game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, the control is performed to the second game state upon completion of the variation game from which the second result is derived.

In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of variable games to be controlled to the second game state after the first specific result is derived in the variable game, that is, the control to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variable game The upper limit of the number of variable games played is 1000 times. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second gaming state after the first specific result (second result) is derived in the variable game is less than the specified number of times. The upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the first specified result (second result) is derived in the variable game is one time difference from the specified number of times. Further, in the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of variable games to be controlled to the second game state after the second specific result is derived in the variable game is 50 times. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the second specific result is derived in the variable game is less than the specified number of times. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the first specified result is derived in the variable game, the upper limit number of times of the variable game is controlled to the second game state, and after the second specified result is derived in the variable game, the second game Any of the upper limit number of variable games controlled by the state is less than the specified number of times. Further, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. is less than the maximum number of special games. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the second specified result is derived in the variable game is the variation controlled to the second game state after the first specified result is derived in the variable game. Less than the maximum number of games played.

Incidentally, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is the special game controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. Same as the maximum number of games. The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is the special game controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. The number of times may be greater than the upper limit number of games. In other words, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is the special game controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. It may be equal to or more than the upper limit number of games. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is established is the variable game controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variable game. is greater than or equal to the maximum number of times. That is, in the present embodiment, the first upper limit number of times is equal to or greater than the second upper limit number of times. On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the third jackpot game is over is higher than the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. less. That is, the upper limit number of variation games controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game when the specific condition is not established is the variation game controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variation game. is less than the upper limit number of times.

In addition, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is determined by the fixed stop display of the first chance symbol in the special game. It is the same as the upper limit number of special games that are later controlled to the high base state. The upper limit number of variable games controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is determined by the fixed stop display of the first chance symbol in the special game. The number of times may be greater than the upper limit number of special games to be controlled to the high base state later. In other words, the upper limit number of variable games that are controlled to the high base state when the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is determined when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. It may be equal to or more than the upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state later. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game is the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the first specific result is derived in the variable game. That's it. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game is equal to or greater than the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variable game. is. In this way, the upper limit number of variable games that are controlled to the second gaming state when the number of variable games executed within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times is determined after the second result is derived in the variable game. It is equal to or more than the upper limit number of variable games controlled in the 2-game state. Further, the upper limit number of the variable game controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is determined by the fixed stop display of the second chance symbol in the special game. More than the upper limit number of special games that are later controlled to the high base state. That is, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game is the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state after the second specific result is derived in the variable game. more than

In addition, in the display effects that can be executed by the effect display device 25, patterns for effects (hereinafter referred to as "effect patterns") are variably displayed in a plurality of rows, and finally the combination of the effect patterns is determined and stopped. There is a variable game (hereinafter referred to as a production game). The performance game is executed by changing performance symbols in a plurality of rows. The production pattern is a pattern decorated with characters, patterns, etc., for diversifying the display production, and is also called "decorative pattern" or "decorative pattern". The effect game according to the present embodiment is performed by vertically variably displaying (scrolling) the first, second, and third symbol rows. The performance symbols in the first row are so-called first symbols, the performance symbols in the second row are so-called second symbols, and the performance symbols in the third row are so-called third symbols. In the following description, the "first column" is indicated as "left column", the "first pattern" is indicated as "left pattern", the "second column" is indicated as "middle column", and the "second pattern" is indicated. The "middle pattern" is indicated, the "third row" is indicated as the "right row", and the "third pattern" is indicated as the "right pattern". In each row, as a general rule, production patterns imitating numbers "1" to "8" are variably displayed in a predetermined order.

The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game and ended with the end of the special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect game while the special game is being executed. Then, in the effect game, the symbol combinations of the effect symbols corresponding to the special symbols determined and stopped in the special game are determined and stopped. In the special game, when the big-hit symbols are determined and stopped and displayed, the big-hit symbols based on the performance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed in the effect game. For example, the big hit pattern by the production pattern is a pattern combination such as "777" in which the production pattern of all rows is the same. Further, when the winning symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game, the non-jackpot symbols based on the production symbols are fixed and stopped in the effect game. Similarly, when the chance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the special game, the non-jackpot symbols based on the performance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the effect game. For example, the non-jackpot pattern by the production pattern is a pattern combination such as "323", "112", "426", etc., in which at least some rows of production symbols are different from other rows of production symbols. It should be noted that non-jackpot symbols based on the performance symbols that are determined and stopped when the lost symbols are determined and stopped in the special game, and the performance symbols that are determined and stopped when the chance symbols are determined and stopped are displayed in the special game. Some or all of the non-jackpot symbols may be the same, or all may be different. In the present embodiment, the big-hit pattern based on the performance design corresponds to the winning design combination, and the non-big-hit design based on the performance design corresponds to the non-hitting design combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, the winning symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the effect game executed during the execution of the variation game when the winning lottery is won. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the non-winning symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the effect game executed during the execution of the variation game when the winning lottery is not won.

In this manner, in the pachinko game machine 10, in the performance game executed during the execution of the special game when the big win is won in the big win lottery, the big win symbols based on the performance symbols are fixed and stopped. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, in the performance game executed during the execution of the special game when the big win lottery is not won, the non-big win symbols by the performance symbols are determined and stopped. In addition, in the effect game, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed before being fixed and stopped. In this specification, "temporary stop display" means a state indicating that there is a possibility that the pattern may be displayed again in a variable manner, such as a "fluctuation state", or a state indicating that the pattern is different from the fixed stop display. .

In the production game, there is a case where reach is formed and reach production is performed. In this embodiment, the effect symbols imitating the same number are temporarily displayed in specific columns (left and right columns in this embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column The state in which the (in the present embodiment, the middle row) production pattern is continuously variably displayed corresponds to the state in which the ready-to-win state is formed. The ready-to-win effect may include, for example, a plurality of types of ready-to-win effects in which the characters to appear and the actions of the effect patterns are different. For example, the ready-to-win effect may include a normal ready-to-win effect and a super ready-to-win effect performed after the start of the normal ready-to-win effect.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute an effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to one of a plurality of types of presentation modes. The performance mode is also called a performance state. In each production mode, mode identification information that can identify the production mode during stay (the production mode being controlled) is notified. In the pachinko game machine 10, a different background image is displayed on the effect display device 25 for each type of effect mode. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, for example, the decoration lamp 17 is caused to emit light in a different color for each type of production mode, or background music is output from the speaker 18, which is different for each type of production mode. to be notified.

As shown in FIG. 5, the performance modes in the pachinko gaming machine 10 include a normal mode, a first chance mode and a second chance mode. The first chance mode is an effect mode controlled when the game is in a high base state after the end of the first to third jackpot games. In the second chance mode, when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the prescribed number of times, the high base state is controlled (in FIG. 5, the number of executions is shown as the prescribed number of times). In, it is a production mode that is controlled when it is in the high base state. Further, the second chance mode is controlled in the high base state when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state (indicated as "chance symbol stop" in FIG. 5). It is a production mode that is performed. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game has reached the specified number of times, the chance symbols are determined and stopped in the special game, and when the control is performed to the high base state. When it is controlled to the high base state after being controlled to the second chance mode, and when it is in the high base state in both cases, it is controlled to the second chance mode. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the second chance mode in both the second high base state and the third high base state. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the third high base state, when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches a specified number of times, the second chance mode continues to be controlled. Also, the normal mode is an effect mode that is controlled when in the low base state. In this embodiment, the second chance mode corresponds to a specific production mode. In this way, the production mode has a plurality of types of production modes including a specific production mode. Then, in the present embodiment, when controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game, the effect mode controlled when the second game state is controlled, and the second result in the variable game. The effect mode controlled when being controlled to the second game state after is derived is a specific effect mode.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a main board 40 as a main control section. The main board 40 performs various processes and outputs control information such as control signals (control commands) according to the results of the processes. The pachinko game machine 10 has a sub-board 50 as a sub-control section. The sub-board 50 performs predetermined processing based on the control information output by the main board 40 . For example, the sub-board 50 performs processing for executing a light emission effect by the decorative lamp 17 , a sound effect by the speaker 18 , and a display effect by the effect display device 25 . In the pachinko game machine 10, the main board 40 and the sub board 50 are arranged on the back side of the game board 20. - 特許庁The game board unit includes a main board 40 and a sub board 50 . The game board unit is fixed to the middle frame 13. - 特許庁Therefore, it can be said that the main board 40 and the sub board 50 are arranged inside the pachinko game machine 10 . The main board 40 is connected to the sub board 50 .

First, the main substrate 40 will be explained.
The main board 40 includes a main CPU 41 , a main ROM 42 and a main RWM 43 . The main CPU 41 performs various processes by executing a control program (main control program) of the main CPU 41 . The main ROM 42 stores a main control program and a lottery table used for a predetermined lottery. The main ROM 42 stores a big-hit determination value used for the big-hit lottery. Further, the main ROM 42 stores a specific opportunity determination value used for the chance lottery. The chance lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game. Further, the main ROM 42 stores an effect determination value used for the effect lottery. The performance lottery is a lottery for determining whether to execute the ready-to-win performance when the jackpot lottery is not won, and corresponds to the ready-to-win lottery.

Also, the main ROM 42 stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. A plurality of types of variation patterns are associated with variation times from the start of the special game to the end of the special game. That is, the variation pattern is associated with the variation time of the special game. Therefore, the variation pattern can be said to be information capable of specifying the variation time of the special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation time of the special game is determined by determining the variation pattern. Also, the variation pattern may be information that can specify part or all of the effect contents of the effect game performed from the start of the special game until the end of the special game. Variation patterns include, for example, a jackpot variation pattern, a first chance variation pattern, a second chance variation pattern, and a non-jackpot variation pattern. The big hit variation pattern is associated with the production contents of the production game such that after the ready-to-win production, the final jackpot pattern is determined and stopped to be displayed. The first chance variation pattern is a variation pattern that can be determined when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game reaches a specified number of times. The second chance variation pattern is a variation pattern that can be determined when chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game in the low base state and in the third high base state. The effect contents of the effect game associated with the first chance variation pattern and the effect contents of the effect game associated with the second chance variation pattern will be described later. The non-jackpot variation pattern includes a variation pattern without non-jackpot reach and a variation pattern with non-jackpot reach. The variation pattern without non-jackpot reach is associated with the effect content of the effect game for finalizing and stopping the non-jackpot symbol by the effect symbol without going through the reach effect. The variation pattern with non-jackpot reach is associated with the effect content of the effect game, in which the non-jackpot pattern is finally fixed and displayed by the effect pattern through the reach effect.

The main ROM 42 stores a plurality of types of variation pattern tables. A variation pattern table is also called a variation pattern group. The fluctuation pattern table is composed of determinable fluctuation patterns among a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns, and determination rates (decision ratios) of various determinable fluctuation patterns are defined. For example, at least one of the types of determinable fluctuation patterns and the rate of determination of various fluctuation patterns differs depending on the type of fluctuation pattern. Although various determinable fluctuation patterns are used here, it does not necessarily mean that there are multiple types of determinable fluctuation patterns. There may be a variation pattern of 100%. In this way, since the fluctuation pattern table defines the types of fluctuation patterns that can be determined and the rate of determination of various fluctuation patterns, it can be said that the manner of determining the fluctuation patterns is defined. Therefore, switching the type of the variation pattern table referred to when determining the variation pattern corresponds to switching the mode of determination of the variation pattern.

The main RWM 43 is configured to be able to store various information that can be rewritten as appropriate during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 . Information stored by the main RWM 43 includes, for example, flags, counters and timers. The main board 40 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, the random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

A first start sensor SE1, a second start sensor SE2, a count sensor SE3, and a gate sensor SE4 are connected to the main board 40. As shown in FIG. The main CPU 41 is configured to be capable of inputting detection signals output by various sensors SE1 to SE4 via ports (not shown). An information display panel 22 is also connected to the main board 40 . The main CPU 41 can control the display contents of the information display panel 22 via a drive circuit (not shown). A first actuator A<b>1 and a second actuator A<b>2 are connected to the main board 40 . The main CPU 41 can control the operation of the first actuator A1 and the operation of the second actuator A2 via a drive circuit (not shown).

Next, the sub-board 50 will be described.
The sub-board 50 includes a sub-CPU 51 , a sub-ROM 52 and a sub-RWM 53 . For example, the sub CPU 51 performs various types of processing (for example, processing related to effects) by executing a control program (sub control program) of the sub CPU 51 . The secondary ROM 52 stores a secondary control program, a lottery table used for lottery, determination values, and the like. The secondary ROM 52 stores display effect data capable of specifying the mode (content) of the display effect in the effect display device 25 . Further, the sub ROM 52 stores light emission effect data capable of specifying the mode (content) of the light emission effect of the decorative lamp 17 . The secondary ROM 52 stores sound effect data capable of specifying the mode (content) of the sound effect in the speaker 18 .

The sub-RWM 53 is configured to be capable of storing various information rewritten as appropriate during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 . Information stored by the secondary RWM 53 includes, for example, flags, counters and timers. The sub-board 50 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, the random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

A decorative lamp 17 , a speaker 18 , and an effect display device 25 are connected to the sub-board 50 . The sub CPU 51 can control the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the performance display device 25 via a drive circuit (not shown).

Various processes executed by the main CPU 41 based on the control program will be described below.
First, the special symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 performs the first special symbol input process. In addition, after completing the first special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 performs the second special symbol input process. Then, in the special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol input process after completing the second special symbol input process.

In the first special symbol input process, the main CPU 41 determines whether a game ball has entered the first starting port 26 based on whether the detection signal from the first starting sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter referred to as first input determination ). When the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the first special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 determines whether the first special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as first reservation determination). . When the determination result of the first suspension determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the first special symbol input process. When the determination result of the first suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the first special suspension number and updates it. Furthermore, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated first special reserved number. In addition, the main CPU 41 stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a first reservation number command) that can specify the updated first special reservation number in the output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 50 in subsequent interrupt processing.

When the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the second special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 determines whether the second special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as second reservation determination). . When the determination result of the second suspension determination is negative, the main CPU 41 terminates the second special symbol input process. When the determination result of the second suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the second special suspension number and updates it.

In the execution determination, the main CPU 41 makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game is not being played, the special game is not being performed, and the variation interval is not in progress. On the other hand, in the execution determination, the main CPU 41 makes a negative determination when any one of the jackpot game, the special game, and the interval between fluctuations is being performed. When the determination result of the execution determination is negative (when the special game execution condition is not satisfied), the main CPU 41 stores a standby command that can identify the standby state in the output buffer, and starts special symbol start processing. finish. On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the special game execution condition is satisfied), the main CPU 41 determines whether the second special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is 1 or more. . Then, when the second special reserved number is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 ends the special symbol start processing after performing the second special symbol start processing related to the execution of the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special reservation number is not 1 or more, the main CPU 41 determines whether the first special reservation number stored in the main RWM 43 is 1 or more. When the first special reserved number is not 1 or more, the main CPU 41 terminates the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special reserved number is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 ends the special symbol start processing after performing the first special symbol start processing related to the execution of the first special game.

The main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special pending number is displayed. Further, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a first reservation number command that can specify the updated first special reservation number. Subsequently, the main CPU 41 reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game from the main RWM 43 . When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 41 erases the first stored random number information from the main RWM 43 . Then, the main CPU 41 performs a big win lottery based on the read random number information and the big win determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . At least a part of the big hit determination value used for the big hit lottery is different between when it is in the variable probability state and when it is in the non-variable probability state. When the big win lottery is not won (when the big win lottery is not won), the main CPU 41 performs a chance lottery based on the read random number information and the specific trigger determination value stored in the main ROM 42.例文帳に追加In this embodiment, the random number information used for the chance lottery is the same as the random number information used for the big win lottery. Further, the specific trigger determination value is different from the value determined as the big win determination value among the values within the range that the random number information used in the big win lottery and the chance lottery can take. In addition, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 conducts an effect lottery based on the value of the effect determination random number separately from the chance lottery.

Then, after completing various lotteries, the main CPU 41 determines the special symbols to be fixed-stop-displayed in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. For example, when winning a jackpot lottery, the main CPU 41 determines a jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number. Also, when the big hit lottery is not won and the chance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number. In addition, when the big hit lottery is not won and the chance lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 determines a losing symbol. In addition, the concrete description about determination of a fluctuation pattern is mentioned later. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 generates control information that can specify the determined special symbol (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) and control information that can specify the variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a variation pattern designation command ) is stored in the output buffer, and the first special symbol start process is terminated.

The main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special pending number is displayed. In addition, the main CPU 41 stores in the output buffer a second reservation number command that can specify the updated second special reservation number. Subsequently, the main CPU 41 reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main RWM 43 . When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 41 erases the first stored random number information from the main RWM 43 . Then, the main CPU 41 performs a big win lottery based on the read random number information and the big win determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . Also, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 conducts a chance lottery based on the read random number information and the specific trigger determination value stored in the main ROM 42 . In addition, when the jackpot lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 conducts an effect lottery based on the value of the effect judgment random number separately from the specific opportunity lottery.

Then, after completing various lotteries, the main CPU 41 determines the special symbols to be fixed and stopped and displayed in the second special game and the variation pattern of the second special game. For example, when winning a jackpot lottery, the main CPU 41 determines a jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number. Also, when the big hit lottery is not won and the chance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number. In addition, when the big hit lottery is not won and the chance lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 determines a losing symbol. In addition, the concrete description about determination of a fluctuation pattern is mentioned later. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process. In the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 41 stores the variation pattern designation command corresponding to the second special game in the output buffer.

Specifically, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main CPU 41 counts the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main CPU 41 controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is fixed and stopped when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has passed, the main CPU 41 stores an end command for finalizing and stopping the symbol combination by the performance symbols in the output buffer. Further, the main CPU 41 sets an inter-variation interval (for example, 1 second) after the special symbol is fixed and stopped, that is, after the special game is finished. In the inter-variation interval, the special symbol that has been determined and stopped following the end of the special game continues to be determined and stopped.

When the game ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 31, the main CPU 41 determines whether the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 43 is less than the upper limit number. When the normal reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 41 terminates the normal symbol input process. When the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 43 and updates it.

Further, when the base state flag is set to a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state, the main CPU 41 determines an opening pattern in which the second starting port 27 is opened for 5.8 seconds. Further, when the base state flag is set to a value that can be specified to control to the second high base state, the main CPU 41 determines an opening pattern in which the second starting port 27 is opened for 5.8 seconds. Further, when the base state flag is set to a value capable of specifying control to the third high base state, the main CPU 41 determines an opening pattern in which the second starting port 27 is opened for 5.8 seconds. After determining the opening pattern, the main CPU 41 controls the first actuator A1 so that the second opening 27 is opened according to the determined opening pattern. Even while the second starting port 27 is being opened according to the opening pattern, the main CPU 41 determines that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter the second starting port 27 after the normal winning game is imparted. In that case, the normal winning game is ended.

Concretely, when specifying the big hit variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 determines the big hit pattern by the production pattern. Further, when specifying a non-jackpot variation pattern from the variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 51 determines a non-jackpot pattern based on the production pattern. For example, when specifying a variation pattern with non-big hit reach from the input variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 determines a non-big hit pattern by performance symbols including reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 51 specifies a non-jackpot reach-free variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, it determines a non-jackpot pattern by a performance symbol that does not include a reach.

Further, when the sub CPU 51 inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to variably display the effect symbols. That is, the sub CPU 51 starts the effect game. Then, the sub CPU 51 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the determined performance symbols at a predetermined timing. After that, the secondary CPU 51, with the input of the end command as a trigger, determines and stops displaying the symbol combination of the production symbols. It should be noted that the sub CPU 51 may measure a variation time that can be specified from the variation pattern regardless of the end command, and may cause the symbol combination to be fixed and displayed when the variation time elapses. In this case, the end command may be omitted. In addition, when the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern specifying command is a variation pattern including a ready-to-win effect, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 to execute the ready-to-win effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 51 performs control to execute the effect mode, thereby realizing a function as effect game control means for controlling the effect game.

Here, the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
In the pachinko game machine 10, even if a big win is not won in a big win lottery, there is a case where a high base state is controlled when a chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in a special game. In this way, the pachinko game machine 10 has a game property that can be controlled to a high base state even if the jackpot lottery is not won. Such playability can improve interest. Furthermore, in the pachinko game machine 10, even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery and the chance symbols are not fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number after the end of the big win game. may be controlled to a high base state. As described above, the pachinko game machine 10 has a game property that can be controlled to a high base state even if neither the big win lottery nor the chance lottery is won. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 executes a special game even if the jackpot lottery is not won, and is controlled to a high base state only when the number of times the special game is executed reaches a specified number of times. It has a playability that can be controlled to a high base state based on the number of executions of . Such playability can improve interest.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery is "188/65536". On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the probability of winning the chance lottery is "3/65536". That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery is higher than the probability that the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game without winning the big win lottery. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for winning the big win in the big win lottery, and even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery, the expectation for the derivation of the chance pattern in the special game is provided. , It is possible to improve interest.

Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the chance lottery is won, the probability of determining the first chance symbol is "43/128" and the probability of determining the second chance symbol is "85/128". Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the probability that the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is "(3/65536)×(43/128)". That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery is higher than the probability that the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game without winning the big win lottery. That is, the probability of winning a winning lottery and deriving a winning result in a variation game is higher than the probability of not winning a winning lottery and deriving a second result in a variation game. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the probability that the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is "(3/65536)×(85/128)". That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, the probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery is higher than the probability of the second chance symbol being fixed and stopped displayed in the special game without winning the big win lottery. Incidentally, in a pachinko machine, when a jackpot lottery is won, the first jackpot pattern is "30/128", the second jackpot pattern is "30/128", the third jackpot pattern is "40/128" and the fourth jackpot pattern is "30/128". The jackpot symbols are determined by "28/128".

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be controlled to a high base state with an upper limit of 1000 special games after the end of the first jackpot game. Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be controlled to a high base state with an upper limit until 1000 special games are completed after the end of the second jackpot game. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to control to a high base state with an upper limit until 1000 special games are completed after the end of the third jackpot game. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of special games after the end of the jackpot game reaches a specified number (in FIG. 7, the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period=the specified number of times), 1000 special games are played. It is possible to control to a high base state with an upper limit until the end. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game, it may be controlled to the high base state. At this time, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be controlled to a high base state with an upper limit until 1000 special games are completed. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, it may be controlled to the high base state. At this time, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be controlled to a high base state with an upper limit until 50 special games are completed.

By the way, in order to be controlled to the high base state after the first big win game or the second big win game is finished, it is necessary to win the big win at least in the big win lottery and give the big win game. Therefore, the degree of difficulty controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is higher than the difficulty of simply executing the special game a prescribed number of times within a prescribed period even if the big win lottery is not won. expensive. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is set so that the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. The upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state as a result of doing so is set to be more than the upper limit number of times. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in joy when a condition with a high degree of difficulty of "controlled to a high base state after the end of the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game" is achieved.

On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the third big win game is controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game reaches the prescribed number of times. It was set to be less than the upper limit number of special games played. In this way, even when the high base state is controlled after the end of the big win game, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state is smaller than when the special game is executed the specified number of times within the predetermined period. Sometimes it becomes Therefore, if a big win is simply won in a jackpot lottery, the high base state is controlled in the high base state when the special game is executed a specified number of times within a predetermined period. It's not controlled, so it's more interesting.

As described above, in order to be controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game, it is necessary to win the big win at least in the big win lottery. In most game machines, even if the probability of winning the chance lottery is lower than the probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery, the machine wins the chance lottery. There are many players who feel that the difficulty level is lower than that of the other. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the upper limit number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is set to the high base after the first chance symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. The number of special games controlled by the state is set to be equal to or greater than the upper limit number of times. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in joy when the condition of ``controlled to a high base state after the end of the first big winning game or the second big winning game'', which is thought to be high in difficulty, is achieved.

On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the third jackpot game is set to the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. less than Thus, even when the high base state is controlled after the end of the big win game, the upper limit number of times the special game is controlled to the high base state is higher than after the first chance symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. sometimes less. Therefore, if a big win is simply won in a jackpot lottery, the first chance pattern is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, and then the high base state is controlled in the special game over the upper limit number of special games. It's not controlled, so it's more interesting.

In order to be controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, it is necessary to execute the special game at least a certain number of times (in this embodiment, a prescribed number of times). On the other hand, in order to be controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, only one special game may be executed. Therefore, there is a feeling that being controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game has fewer chances than being controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. Not a few players. Therefore, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game is set to the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. That's all. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in pleasure when the condition "controlled to a high base state based on the number of executions of the special game" is reached, which causes the feeling that the difficulty level is high.

Further, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the high base state after the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. It was set to be less than the upper limit number of special games. As a result, even if the chance symbols are controlled to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and displayed in the special game, it is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to the types of the chance symbols.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when controlled to the first high base state, even if the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game while being continuously controlled to the first high base state, the chance is determined. The pattern is not controlled to the third high base state when the symbol is fixed and stopped. That is, in the present embodiment, when the specific condition is established and the winning game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game, after that, when the control is continued to the second game state, the second game state is changed in the variation game. Even if the second result is derived, the control to the second game state triggered by the derivation of the second result is restricted.

Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is controlled to the second high base state, it is assumed that the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game while being continuously controlled to the second high base state. Also, it is not controlled to the third high base state when the chance symbol is determined and stopped and displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled based on the number of times the variable game is played, the second result is derived in the variable game while the second game state is continuously controlled. Even if the second result is derived, the control to the second game state is restricted.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the third high base state is controlled and then the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game while the control is continued to the third high base state, After the chance symbol is fixed and stopped, it is controlled to the third high base state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variable game, even if the variable game is continuously controlled to the second game state thereafter, the variable game When the second result is derived in , it is possible to control to the second game state after the second result is derived. At this time, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the newly determined and stopped chance symbol is the first chance symbol, the game machine 10 is controlled to a high base state with an upper limit until the special game is newly executed 1000 times. For example, suppose that the upper limit number of times of the variable game controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variable game is the special upper limit number of times. At this time, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variation game, after that, when the second game state is continuously controlled, in the variation game, the When the second result is derived, it is possible to control to the second game state as the upper limit until the special upper limit number of variable games are newly executed after the second result is derived. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if the chance symbol that is newly fixed and displayed is the second chance symbol, the upper limit is set to the upper limit until the special game is newly executed 50 times. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the third high base state is controlled, the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game while the third high base state is continuously controlled. In this case, the number of executions of the remaining special games that can be controlled to the high base state is updated.

For example, assume that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the third high base state until the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game and the special game is executed 1000 times or 50 times as the upper limit. After that, when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game before the end of the third high base state, what is the remaining number of special games controlled to the third base state? Even so, the upper limit of the number of special games controlled to the third high base state is 1000 times. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if the first chance symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game and is controlled to the third high base state, the third high base state is maintained. It is possible to give a sense of expectation that the upper limit number of controllable special games will be increased (extended) in the 3 high base state. As a result, even when the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the third high base state, the period during which the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game to be controlled to the third high base state is extended. It is possible to make them expect that they will be able to continue to effectively improve their interest.

Further, for example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is assumed that the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game, and the high base state is controlled until the special game is executed 1000 times as the upper limit. Then, it is assumed that the second chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game before the special game is executed 1000 times in the third high base state after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed. In this case, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the remaining number of special games controlled to the third base state is 51 or more before the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped, the third high base is displayed. The upper limit number of special games controlled by the state is 50 times. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game and are controlled to the third high base state, the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game after that, and the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped. It is possible to give a sense of crisis that the upper limit number of special games controlled to the 3 high base state is reduced (shortened). As a result, in the pachinko game machine 10, even if the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and controlled to the third high base state, the special game can be noticed and the interest can be effectively improved continuously. can be done.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the third high base state is controlled, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the predetermined number when the third high base state is continuously controlled thereafter. It is possible to control to the second high base state with the reaching as a trigger. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variable game, even if the variable game is continuously controlled to the second game state thereafter, the variable game It is possible to control to the second game state based on the number of times of execution. At this time, the number of executions of the special game under control in the third high base state is included in the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if the variable game is controlled to the second game state after the specific result is derived in the variable game before being controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game, then the It is possible to control to the second gaming state based on the number of executions of the variable game including the number of executions of the variable game in the second gaming state. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, irrespective of the remaining number of special games until the upper limit number of special games controlled to the third high base state is reached, the upper limit is set to 1000 special games. Controlled to a high base state. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the variable game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, the variable game is executed the number of times when the second game state is continuously controlled thereafter. is controlled to the second gaming state based on the first upper limit after being controlled to the second gaming state based on the number of executions of the variable game, regardless of the remaining number of variable games until the second upper limit is reached. It is possible to control to the second game state with an upper limit until the number of variable games is executed. For example, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game is set as a special upper limit number of times, and the variable game controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived in the variable game. is the special upper limit number of times. At this time, in the present embodiment, when the second result is derived in the variable game and then the second game state is controlled, the number of times the variable game is played when the second game state is continuously controlled thereafter. , regardless of the remaining number of variable games until the special upper limit is reached, the second game state can be controlled until the special upper limit number of variable games is executed as the upper limit. be. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is controlled to the third high base state, after that, when it is continuously controlled to the third high base state, the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period is specified. When the number of times is reached, the number of executions of the remaining special games that can be controlled to the high base state is updated.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped is displayed in the special game, "1000 times", which is the prescribed number of times "1001 times". The number of times is one less than . Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, even if the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the first special game after the end of the big win game, the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game is "1001 times". can be controlled to a high base state until reaching . In other words, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the high base state by displaying the first chance symbol fixedly and stopped in any special game within the period from the end of the jackpot game until the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times. Even in this case, it is possible to control to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times." And, with such playability, it is possible to improve interest.

Next, determination of the variation pattern will be described together with the variation pattern table in the pachinko gaming machine 10. FIG.
The variation pattern table in the pachinko game machine 10 includes a variation pattern table referred to in the high base state and a variation pattern referred to in the low base state. Specifically, the variation pattern tables referred to in the high base state include a variation pattern table Ta1, a variation pattern table Ta2, a variation pattern table Ta3, and a variation pattern table Ta4. In this embodiment, the average time of the variation time of the special game increases in the order of variation pattern table Ta4<variation pattern table Ta3<variation pattern table Ta2<variation pattern table Ta1. Therefore, when the variation pattern table Ta4 of the variation pattern tables Ta1 to Ta4 is referred to, the special game executed per unit time is compared to when the other variation pattern tables Ta1 to Ta3 are referred to. is likely to increase, and many special games are likely to be executed in a short period of time. Conversely, when the variation pattern table Ta1 of the variation pattern tables Ta1 to Ta4 is referred to, the special game executed per unit time is higher than when the other variation pattern tables Ta2 to Ta4 are referred to. is likely to decrease, and it is difficult to execute many special games in a short period of time. Further, the variation pattern table referred to in the low base state includes the variation pattern table Tb.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the type of variation pattern table to be referred to after the end of the jackpot game is predetermined. In addition, in FIG. 8, it is premised that the big winning game is not awarded after the big winning game is finished, and that the chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game and are not controlled to the third high base state. Incidentally, although not shown, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is controlled to the third high base state, it is determined that the variation pattern table Ta4 is referred to in the third high base state.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta1 from the end of the first jackpot game to the 100th special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta2 from the 101st special game to the 200th special game after the end of the first jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta4 from the 201st special game to the 950th special game after the end of the first jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta3 from the 951st special game to the 1000th special game after the end of the first jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is determined that the variation pattern table Tb is referred to in the 1001st special game after the end of the first jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta4 from the 1002nd special game after the end of the first jackpot game to the 2001st special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table Tb is referred to until the 2002nd and subsequent special games after the end of the first jackpot game. Incidentally, not only the first jackpot game, but also the period in which the 1002nd to 2001st special games are executed after the jackpot game is finished is triggered by the number of special games executed after the jackpot game is finished reaching a specified number of times. corresponds to the period during which the high base state is controlled to .

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta1 from the end of the second jackpot game to the 100th special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta2 from the 101st special game to the 200th special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta3 from the 201st special game to the 250th special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta4 from the 251st special game to the 900th special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta3 from the 901st special game to the 950th special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta2 from the 951st special game to the 1000th special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is determined that the variation pattern table Tb is referred to in the 1001st special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is determined that the variation pattern table Ta4 is referred to from the 1002nd special game to the 2001st special game after the end of the second jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table Tb is referred to until the 2002nd and subsequent special games after the end of the second jackpot game.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta1 from the end of the third jackpot game to the 100th special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Tb from the 101st special game to the 1001st special game after the end of the third jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta4 from the 1002nd special game to the 2001st special game after the end of the third jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table Tb is referred to until the 2002nd and subsequent special games after the end of the third jackpot game.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is determined that the variation pattern table Tb is referred to from the end of the fourth jackpot game to the 1001st special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, reference is made to the variation pattern table Ta4 from the 1002nd special game to the 2001st special game after the fourth jackpot game is finished. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation pattern table Tb is referred to until the 2002nd and subsequent special games after the end of the fourth jackpot game.

As described above, the reference variation pattern table is switched four times during the period from the end of the first big win game to the execution of the special game 1001 times and the control to the high base state. Similarly, during the period from the end of the second big win game to the execution of 1001 special games and control to the high base state, the referenced variation pattern table is switched six times. Further, the variation pattern table to be referred to is switched once during the period from the end of the third big win game to the execution of the special game 1001 times and the control to the high base state. On the other hand, during the period from the end of the fourth jackpot game to the execution of 1001 special games and control to the high base state, the variation pattern table to be referred to is not switched, and the variation pattern table Tb continues to be referred to. . In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of times the variation pattern table is switched during the period from the end of the big win game to the time when the special game is executed 1001 times is controlled to the high base state is the kind of the big win. Varies depending on That is, in the present embodiment, after the winning game is completed, the variation pattern is changed during the period from when the number of executions of the variation game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times to the second gaming state. The number of times the determination mode of is switched depends on the type of win. Also, in the pachinko game machine 10, the type of the variation pattern table referred to after the completion of various big win games is the same regardless of the game state when the big win is won in the big win lottery. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of times the variation pattern table is switched during the period from the end of the big win game to the time when the special game is executed 1001 times is controlled to the high base state is determined by the big win lottery. Regardless of the type of game state when the big win is won, it differs depending on the type of the big win. That is, in the present embodiment, after the winning game is completed, the variation pattern is changed during the period from when the number of executions of the variation game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times to the second gaming state. The number of times of switching the determination mode differs depending on the type of win regardless of the type of game state when winning is won in the winning lottery.

In addition, during the period from the end of the first jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games, the number of special games is higher than the period from the end of the second jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games. The period during which the fluctuation pattern table with a short average fluctuation time is referred to is long. Therefore, the period from the end of the first jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games is longer than the period from the end of the second jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games. easily shortened. That is, after the end of the first big win game, the number of special games executed per unit time tends to increase, and the efficiency of the game tends to be high, compared to after the end of the second big win game.

Further, after the end of the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game, the average time of the fluctuation time of the special game is gradually shortened until the fluctuation pattern table Ta4 with the short average time of the fluctuation time of the special game is referred to. The type of variation pattern table is switched as follows. After the end of the first big win game and the second big win game, the average time of the change time of the special game is gradually increased after referring to the change pattern table Ta4, where the average time of the change time of the special game is short. The type of variation pattern table is switched as follows. In this way, during the period from the end of the jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games, the average time of the fluctuation time of the special game is gradually shortened, and then the average time of the fluctuation time of the special game is gradually lengthened. Become. As a result, during the period from the end of the jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games, the first half is made to appear as if the special game is vigorously executed toward the specified number of times. By making the player feel that the period until the special game is executed is short, the desire to continue the game can be enhanced. On the other hand, in the period from the end of the jackpot game to the execution of the specified number of special games, the second half is frustrating until the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times, and the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times. It is possible to effectively increase the expectation of doing and improve interest.

Further, although the details will be described later, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, before the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times, and in the low base state or the third high base state, special A variation pattern that can be determined when the chance symbols are displayed in the fixed stop state in the game is the second chance variation pattern. On the other hand, although the details will be described later, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times and in the first high base state, the chance symbol is displayed in the special game. A variation pattern that can be determined when the fixed stop display is performed is either a variation pattern without a non-jackpot reach or a variation pattern with a non-jackpot reach. At this time, no matter what type of variation pattern table is referred to, the determinable variation pattern is either a variation pattern without non-jackpot reach or a variation pattern with non-jackpot reach. As described above, in the first high base state, when any one of the plurality of types of variation pattern tables is referred to before the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times. Even so, the number (type) of determinable variation patterns is the same when the chance symbols are fixedly displayed in the special game. That is, when the specific condition is satisfied and the game is controlled to the second game state after the end of the winning game, which one of the plurality of types of decision modes is used before the number of executions of the variable game within the predetermined period reaches the predetermined number of times? Even when the variation pattern is determined in the determination mode, the types of variation patterns that can be determined when the second result is derived in the variation game are the same.

In addition, although the details will be described later, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game is executed for the 1001st time (predetermined number of times) after the end of the big win game, when the big win is won in the big win lottery, the big win variation pattern is determined. be. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the 1001st special game is executed after the end of the big win game, when the big win is not won in the big win lottery, the first chance variation pattern is played regardless of the lottery results of the chance lottery and the performance lottery. It is determined. In other words, the variation pattern that can be determined when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game is when the lost symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game. is the same as the variation pattern that can be determined by That is, in the present embodiment, the type of variation pattern that can be determined when the second result is derived in the specified number of variation games within the predetermined period is the first result in the specified number of variation games within the predetermined period. is the same as the type of variation pattern that can be determined when is derived. Thus, the variation patterns that can be determined when executing the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game are the big win variation pattern and the first chance variation pattern.

On the other hand, although the details will be described later, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game other than the 1001st time (other than the prescribed number of times) after the end of the big win game is executed, when the big win is won in the big win lottery, the big win variation pattern is displayed. It is determined. When the pachinko game machine 10 executes a special game other than the 1001st game after the end of the big win game, when the big win lottery is not won, a second chance variation pattern, according to the lottery results of the chance lottery and the performance lottery, is generated. Either a non-jackpot reach non-variation pattern or a non-jackpot reach variation pattern is determined. That is, the variation patterns that can be determined in executing the special game other than the 1001st time after the end of the big win game are the big win variation pattern, the second chance variation pattern, the non-big win non-reach variation pattern and the non-big win reach variation pattern.

Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number (kind) of variation patterns that can be determined when executing a special game other than the 1001st time after the end of the big win game is determined when executing the 1001st time special game after the end of the big win game. More than the number (kind) of possible variation patterns. In other words, the number (kind) of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game is the number of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the special game other than the 1001st time after the end of the big win game. Fewer than number (kind). That is, in the present embodiment, the type of variation pattern that can be determined when executing the variation game for the specified number of times within the predetermined period is the variation pattern that can be determined when performing the variation game other than the specified number of times within the predetermined period. less than the kind of

Here, control related to determination of the variation pattern will be described.
When winning the jackpot lottery, the main CPU 41 refers to the fluctuation pattern table Tb in the low base state, and determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern based on the value of the fluctuation pattern determination random number. Further, when the big win lottery is won, the main CPU 41, when the base state flag is set with a identifiable value for controlling to the first high base state, determines the identifiable number of times and the previous big win from the stipulated number of times information. The type of variation pattern table to be referred to is specified based on the type of game. For example, when the previous jackpot game is the first jackpot game and the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 600, the 601st special game after the end of the first jackpot game is executed. Since the situation is for determining the variation pattern, the main CPU 41 specifies the variation pattern table Ta4 as the type of variation pattern table to be referred to. Then, the main CPU 41 refers to the specified variation pattern table and determines the big hit variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. When the big win lottery is won, the main CPU 41 refers to the variation pattern table Ta4 and wins the big win based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number when a value that can be specified to control to the second high base state is set. Determining fluctuation patterns. Similarly, when winning the jackpot lottery, the main CPU 41 refers to the variation pattern table Ta4 when a value that can be specified to control to the third high base state is set, and determines the value of the variation pattern determination random number. Based on that, the big hit variation pattern is determined.

When the jackpot lottery is not won and the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 1000 times, the main CPU 41 determines the first chance variation pattern. At this time, the main CPU 41 determines the first chance variation pattern regardless of the lottery result of the chance lottery and the lottery result of the effect lottery. At this time, the main CPU 41 determines the first chance variation pattern regardless of whether the control is in the low base state or the high base state. The variation pattern determined when the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 1000 corresponds to the variation pattern determined when the special game is executed for the specified number of times after the end of the big win game.

When the jackpot lottery is not won and the chance lottery is not won, and the number of times that can be specified from the prescribed number of times information is not 1000, the main CPU 41 determines the value set in the base state flag and the prescribed number of times information. The type of variation pattern table to be referred to is specified based on the number of times that can be specified from and the type of the previous jackpot game. For example, the base state flag is set with a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state, the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 600, and the previous jackpot game was the first jackpot. When playing a game, the main CPU 41 specifies the variation pattern table Ta4 as the type of variation pattern table to be referred to. Then, when the effect lottery is won, the main CPU 41 refers to the identified variation pattern table and determines a variation pattern with non-jackpot reach based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 refers to the identified variation pattern table and determines a non-jackpot reach-free variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. Incidentally, when the last big win type information is not stored in the main RWM 43, the main CPU 41 specifies the variation pattern table to be referred to in the same way as when the last big win game type is the fourth big win game. .

When the big win lottery is not won but the chance lottery is won, when the number of times that can be specified from the prescribed number of times information is less than 1000, the main CPU 41 changes the variation pattern table Tb in the low base state. A second chance variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. Also, in the case of not winning the jackpot lottery but winning the chance lottery, when the number of times that can be specified from the prescribed number of times information is less than 1000 times, the main CPU 41 is in the low base state, the variation pattern table With reference to Ta4, the second chance variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. However, when the jackpot lottery is not won and the number of times that can be specified from the prescribed number of times information is less than 1000 times, the main CPU 41, if it is in the first high base state, even if it wins the chance lottery, Do not determine the 2-chance variation pattern. Specifically, when the base state flag is set to a value that can be specified to control to the first high base state, the main CPU 41 is based on the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information and the type of the previous jackpot game. , to identify the type of variation pattern table to be referenced. Then, when the effect lottery is won, the main CPU 41 refers to the identified variation pattern table and determines a variation pattern with non-jackpot reach based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 refers to the specified variation pattern table and determines a non-jackpot reach-free variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number.

In the case of not winning the jackpot lottery but winning the chance lottery, when the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 2002 or more, the main CPU 41 changes the variation pattern table Tb in the low base state. A second chance variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, in the case of not winning the jackpot lottery but winning the chance lottery, when the number of times that can be specified from the specified number of times information is 2002 or more, the main CPU 41 changes if it is in the third high base state. The pattern table Ta4 is referred to, and the second chance variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number.

Next, the effects that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be explained together with the effect contents of the effect game associated with the first chance variation pattern and the effect contents of the effect game associated with the second chance variation pattern. do.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured so as to be able to execute a right-handed promotion performance for prompting the shooting of game balls to the right area of the game board 20.例文帳に追加The right-handed promotion effect can be executed in the effect display device 25. - 特許庁That is, the effect includes a right-handed promotion effect for prompting the shooting of the game ball to the right area of the game board. Since the right-handed promotion effect is an effect that encourages the shooting of game balls to the right region corresponding to the specific region on the game board 20, it can also be said to be a specific promotion effect that encourages the shooting of game balls to the specific region. In the pachinko game machine 10, when a jackpot game is given, a right-handed promotion performance is started. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached a specified number of times and is controlled to a high base state, a right-handed promotion effect is started. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, a right-handed promotion effect is started. The right-handed promotion performance is composed of a first right-handed promotion performance and a second right-handed promotion performance. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the right-handed promotion performance is started, the second right-handed promotion performance is executed after the first right-handed promotion performance is finished after the first right-handed promotion performance is started.

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the first right-handed promotion effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays an image Ra1 imitating a rightward arrow and character information Ra2 of "Right-handed". , is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the second right-handed promotion effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays an image Rb simulating a rightward arrow containing character information of "right-handed". is displayed. In the effect display device 25, the area in which the first hitting-to-right promotion effect is executed is larger than the area in which the second hitting-to-right promoting effect is executed. Therefore, when comparing the first hitting-to-right promoting effect and the second hitting-to-right promoting effect, the player is more likely to notice the first hitting-to-right promoting effect.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the right-handed promotion performance is started when a big win game is given, the right-handed promotion performance is continuously executed at least until the big win game is finished. When the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game, the second right-handed promotion performance is continuously executed in the high base state, and the right-handed promotion performance is continuously executed. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times and the control is made to the high base state, when the right-handed promotion effect is started, a jackpot game is provided. The right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed until the high-base state ends. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, when the right-handed promotion effect is started while being controlled to the high base state, until the jackpot game is awarded or the high base state is started. The right-handed promotion effect is continuously executed until the base state ends. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times when in the third high base state, the second high base state is controlled. Along with the control to the 2 high base state, the right-handed promotion effect is started again.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a transition effect that can specify that it is controlled to a high base state or that it is controlled to a high base state. The transition effect can be executed in the effect display device 25. - 特許庁The transition effect corresponds to a special effect that can be specified to be controlled to the second game state or to be controlled to the second game state. In other words, there is a special performance in the performance. Also, the transition effect is executed with the content of notifying that the second chance mode is controlled. That is, the special effect is executed with the content of notifying that the specific effect mode is controlled.

The transition effect is executed when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times, and the control to the high base state is triggered. Also, the transition effect is executed when the high base state is controlled after the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the transition effect executed when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached the specified number of times and is controlled to the high base state is a special game in which the chance symbols are determined. At least a part of the effect mode is different from the transition effect executed when the high base state is controlled after the stop display. That is, the special effect executed when the second game state is controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game is executed when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variable game. At least a part of the special effect is different from the special effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10(a), in the transition effect executed when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, the transition effect is executed when the high base state is controlled. On the display device 25, the effect image EF simulating a flame and text information of "entering the second chance mode" are displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 10(b), in the transition effect executed in the special game when the chance symbols are fixed and displayed and then the base state is controlled to the high base state, the effect display device 25 simulates a character. Along with the character image CH, text information of "enter second chance mode" is displayed. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, by displaying the character information "entering the second chance mode" on the effect display device 25, the fact that the game is controlled to the second chance mode is notified. It can be said that the fact that the effect modes of the transition effect are different means that the effect contents of the transition effect are different.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, and when the high base state is controlled after the chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, the high base state. The timing at which the transition effect is started is different from the timing at which the control is started. That is, when the second game state is controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game and when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variable game, the control is started to the second game state. The timing at which the special performance is started is different from the timing at which the special effect is started. In this way, when the timing at which the control is started in the high base state is used as a reference, the case where the control is performed in the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, and after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped are displayed in the special game. The timing at which the transition effect is started is different between when it is controlled to the high base state. In other words, when the timing at which control is started in the second game state is used as a reference, when the second game state is controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game, and after the second result is derived in the variable game, the second game state is displayed. When the game state is controlled, the timing at which the special effect is started is different.

Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached a specified number of times and is controlled to the high base state, the transition effect is performed after the special game of the specified number of times is finished. be started. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game executed without awarding the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times, the number of executions reaches the specified number of times. After the end of the eye special game, the transition effect is started. That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of executions of the variable game executed without giving the winning game after the winning game reaches the specified number of times, the control to the second game state is performed. A special effect is started after the end of the variation game for the number of times. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second high base state is triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached the specified number of times, the second high base state is reached upon completion of the specified number of special games. Control is initiated to the 2-high base state. In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached the specified number of times and is controlled to the second high base state, after the control is started to the second high base state The transition production is started at the timing of .

On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, the transition performance is started during execution of the special game in which the chance patterns are fixed and stopped and displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second game state is controlled after the second result is derived in the variation game, the special effect is started during execution of the variation game from which the second result is derived. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the third high base state, the third high base state is accompanied by the end of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and stopped. Control is started on the state. In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the third high base state, the transition effect is performed at a timing before the start of the control to the third high base state. is started.

As described above, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period has reached the specified number of times and the control is performed to the high base state, the relationship between the start timing of the high base state and the timing at which the transition effect is started. The nature is different from the relationship between the start timing of the high base state and the timing at which the transition effect is started in the case where the high base state is controlled after the chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game. That is, when the second game state is controlled based on the number of executions of the variable game, the relationship between the start timing of the second game state and the timing at which the special effect is started is derived from the second result in the variable game. The relationship between the start timing of the second game state and the timing at which the special effect is started is different from that in the case where the second game state is controlled after the second game state.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a reward effect that can be specified to be controlled to a high base state when the number of executions of a special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times. The reward effect can be executed in the effect display device 25. - 特許庁The reward effect corresponds to a predetermined effect that can be specified to be controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game. Reward effects include a first reward effect corresponding to a first predetermined effect and a second reward effect corresponding to a second predetermined effect. When the first reward effect is controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times in the third high base state, the effect display device 25 performs the first reward effect. executed. That is, when the variable game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, the second game state is continuously controlled to the second game state after that based on the number of executions of the variable game. When the game state is controlled, the effect executing means executes the first predetermined effect. The second reward effect is executed in the effect display device 25 when the second reward effect is controlled to the second high base state triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number in the low base state. be. That is, when the game state is controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game while being controlled to the first game state, the effect executing means executes the second predetermined effect. For example, in the special game, if the chance symbols are not fixed and displayed and the second reward effect is not controlled to the high base state, after that, if the control is continued to the low base state, a special When the number of game executions reaches the specified number of times and the second high base state is set as a trigger, the effect display device 25 executes the control. That is, when the second result is not derived in the variable game and the control is not performed to the second game state, thereafter, when the control is continued to the first game state, the second game state is determined based on the number of executions of the variable game. When the game state is controlled, the effect executing means executes the second predetermined effect. In this way, when the variable game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, after that, when it is continuously controlled to the second game state, based on the number of executions of the variable game When the game state is controlled to the second game state, the effect execution means executes a predetermined effect that can specify that the game state is to be controlled to the second game state based on the number of executions of the variable game.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), when the first reward effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays text information Ha of "Let's give you a reward" and text information Hb of "Keep up the good work". , is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 11(b), when the second reward effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays text information Hc of "You did a good job so far" and "Let's give you a reward." Character information Ha is displayed. In this way, the first reward effect is executed with the effect content in which the character information Ha and the character information Hb are displayed on the effect display device 25 . On the other hand, the second reward effect is executed with effect contents in which the character information Ha and the character information Hc are displayed on the effect display device 25 . That is, the effect content of the first reward effect as the first predetermined effect is at least partially different from the effect content of the second reward effect as the second predetermined effect. In addition, it can be said that the effect mode of each reward effect is different because the effect contents of each reward effect are different.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be capable of executing a remaining number of times notification performance capable of specifying the number of remaining special games until reaching the upper limit number of special games controllable to the high base state when the game machine 10 is in the high base state. there is The effect of notifying the remaining number of times can be executed in the effect display device 25 . In other words, the effect executing means can execute the remaining number of times notification effect capable of specifying the remaining number of variable games until the upper limit number of variable games controllable in the second game state is reached. be.

As shown in FIG. 12A, in the high base state, the effect display device 25 displays character information indicating the remaining number of special games until reaching the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled in the high base state. Including remaining number of times image Na is displayed. For example, the remaining number of times notification effect for displaying the remaining number of times image Na including the character information of "150 remaining times" shown in FIG. It corresponds to the remaining time notification effect that can specify something.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times in the third high base state, and when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the second high base state, the remaining number of times is reported. The remaining number of special games that can be specified from the presentation is updated. At this time, in the pachinko game machine 10, the special game can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect, with the content based on the remaining number of special games until the number of times of execution of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled to the third high base state. is updated. That is, when the variable game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, the second game state is continuously controlled to the second game state after that based on the number of executions of the variable game. When the game state is controlled, the remaining number of variable games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated based on the remaining number of variable games until the second upper limit number of times is reached. Specifically, with respect to the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect, the remaining number of times and the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reach the specified number of times, and the high base state is controlled. The remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated in such a manner that the difference between the upper limit number of possible special games and the number of times of special games is added. That is, when the remaining number of variable games identifiable from the remaining number notification effect is updated based on the remaining number of variable games until the second upper limit number of times is reached, the remaining number of variable games identifiable from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated. The remaining number of fluctuation games that can be specified from the remaining number of times informing effect is updated in a manner in which the difference between the remaining number of times and the first upper limit number of times is added to the number of times.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12(b), in the third high base state, when the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number notification effect is "150", control is performed to the second high base state. If so, the number of remaining special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated in such a manner that "850 times (=1000-150)" is added to the "150 times". At this time, the effect display device 25 displays the additional image Zu including the character information of "+850 times" corresponding to the number of times to be added. Then, in the effect display device 25, the added image Zu is moved and displayed to the position where the remaining number of times image Na is displayed, and then the remaining number of variable games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12(c), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the remaining number of variable games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect after the update, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. Triggered by the reaching, the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled to the high base state becomes "1000 times". That is, when the remaining number of variable games identifiable from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated based on the remaining number of times of the variable game until the second upper limit number of times is reached, the identifiable variation from the remaining number of times notification effect after the update. The remaining number of games is the first upper limit number.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a confrontation effect may be executed during execution of the special game. The confrontation effect is composed of a confrontation introduction effect suggesting that the game will be controlled to the high base state, and a result effect indicating the result of the confrontation effect. When the confrontation effect is executed, the confrontation introduction effect is started, and after the end of the confrontation introduction effect, the result effect is executed. The result presentation includes a victory presentation indicating victory in the confrontation and a defeat presentation indicating defeat in the confrontation. In this embodiment, the confrontation introduction effect corresponds to the specific effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the defeat effect corresponds to the first effect, and the victory effect corresponds to the second effect.

Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the confrontation introduction performance is executed during the execution of the special game in which the winning symbols are determined and stopped and displayed, the defeat performance is executed after the confrontation introduction performance is finished. That is, when the specific effect is executed during execution of the variable game from which the first result is derived, the first effect is executed after the specific effect is finished. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the confrontation introduction effect is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed, the victory effect is executed after the confrontation introduction effect is finished. That is, when the specific effect is executed during execution of the variable game from which the second result is derived, the second effect different from the first effect is executed after the specific effect is finished.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if a special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped is executed in the first high base state or the second high base state, the confrontation effect is not performed during the execution of the special game. Not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped is executed in the low base state or the third high base state, the confrontation effect is executed during the execution of the special game. Sometimes. In other words, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the third high base state after the special game is finished, the confrontation effect may be executed during the execution of the special game. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the confrontation performance is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and displayed, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the third high base state after the end of the special game. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the confrontation performance is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped, the game is controlled to the high base state at the timing after the confrontation introduction performance is finished. Similarly, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the confrontation performance is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and displayed, the game is controlled to the high base state at the timing after the victory performance is finished. That is, in the present embodiment, when the specific effect is executed during execution of the variation game from which the second result is derived, the game state is controlled to the second game state at the timing after the specific effect ends.

In the pachinko game machine 10, there is a case where a confrontation effect is executed in the effect display device 25 after the non-jackpot symbols by the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect game. That is, the effect executing means may execute a specific effect suggesting that the high base state is controlled after the non-hitting symbol combination is stop-displayed in the effect game. Concretely, in the pachinko game machine 10, the left pattern and the right pattern are the same pattern combination, and the effect pattern after 3 frames of the left pattern and the right pattern is the medium pattern. After the non-jackpot symbols based on the symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed, the confrontation performance may be executed. By the way, in the pachinko game machine 10, the pattern combination is such that the left pattern and the right pattern are the same effect pattern, and the effect pattern after 3 frames of the left pattern and the right pattern is the middle pattern. The non-jackpot symbols are "141", "252", "363", "474", "585", "616", "727" and "838". In this way, the non-jackpot symbols of the performance symbols temporarily displayed in the performance game in which the confrontation performance is executed are the non-jackpot symbols of the performance symbols classified into a specific type among the non-jackpot symbols of a plurality of types of performance symbols. It is a big hit design. That is, the non-hitting symbol combination to be stop-displayed in the effect game in which the specific effect is executed is the non-hitting symbol combination classified as a part of the specific types among the plurality of types of non-hitting symbol combinations. In the following explanation, the left pattern and the right pattern are pattern combinations that are the same production pattern, and the production pattern after 3 frames of the left pattern and the right pattern is a medium pattern. is shown as "a combination of performance symbols classified as a specific type".

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type may be temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect game even when the confrontation effect is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type is temporarily displayed in the effect game, the confrontation effect may be executed after that, and the confrontation effect may be executed thereafter. Sometimes it doesn't work. That is, in the present embodiment, even if a non-hitting symbol combination classified as a specific type is stopped and displayed in the effect game, the specific effect may be executed after that, or the specific effect may be executed after that. sometimes not.

Here, based on FIGS. 13(a) to 13(f), an example of display contents of the effect display device 25 when the confrontation effect is executed will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13(a), for example, after the ready-to-win effect is executed, the effect pattern 3 frames later than the effect pattern forming the ready-to-win effect is temporarily displayed as a middle pattern, and is classified into a specific type in the effect game. It is assumed that the effect symbol combination to be displayed is temporarily stopped. Although not shown, when the confrontation effect is not executed, the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type is fixed and stopped when the special game ends. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13(b), when the confrontation effect is executed, the medium symbols are again variably displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13(c), the confrontation introductory effect is started. When the confrontation introduction effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays the character information of "Confrontation effect" and the character information of "Enter the second chance mode if you win!". Therefore, the confrontation introduction effect can be said to be an effect that can specify that the confrontation effect has started. Also, the confrontation introduction effect can be said to be an effect suggesting that the control to the second chance mode is performed by executing the victory effect. Furthermore, after that, as shown in FIG. 13(d), the confrontation introduction effect is executed by displaying a main character image CHa imitating the main character and an enemy image CHb imitating the enemy, and the main character and the enemy confront each other. be done. Then, as shown in FIG. 13(e), when the victory effect is executed, the effect display device 25 executes the victory effect in such a way that the main character wins the confrontation. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13(f), when the defeat effect is executed, the effect display device 25 executes the defeat effect in such a way that the main character loses the confrontation.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be capable of executing a plurality of types of effects. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, the first chance variation pattern defines the performance contents of final stop-and-determine display of non-jackpot symbols after executing the second reward performance. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second reward effect is started during execution of the special game based on the first chance variation pattern. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, in addition to executing the normal ready-to-win production for the second chance variation pattern, the victory production is executed after the confrontation introduction production is executed, then the first reward production is executed, and the final The content of the effect is determined to stop and display the effect pattern combination which is generally classified into a specific type. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, during the execution of the special game based on the second chance variation pattern, the normal ready-to-win effect is executed, and after temporarily stopping and displaying the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type in the normal ready-to-win effect, the confrontation is introduced. After the performance is executed, the victory performance is executed, and then the first reward performance is started. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, the normal reach performance is executed in the non-big win reach variation pattern in which the performance content of finalizing and stopping the non-big win pattern by the performance pattern after the normal reach performance is determined. In addition, there is a specific loss reach variation pattern in which the content of the performance of executing the defeat performance after executing the confrontation introduction performance is determined. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, during the execution of the special game based on the specific losing reach variation pattern, the normal reach effect is executed, and after temporarily stopping and displaying the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type in the normal reach effect, the confrontation is introduced. After the performance is executed, the defeat performance is executed.

By the way, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to determine a specific losing reach variation pattern only when the variation pattern table Tb is referred to. That is, when comparing when in the low base state and when in the third high base state, a specific off-reach variation pattern may be determined when in the low base state, while the specific off-reach variation pattern may be determined when in the third high base state. A variation pattern is not determined. Therefore, when the confrontation presentation is started in the low base state, the player cannot specify which of the victory presentation and the defeat presentation will be executed. The player can specify that the victory presentation is executed without the defeat presentation when the confrontation presentation is started at .

Here, the execution timing of various effects will be described.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the low base state, the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game is executed based on the first chance variation pattern. At this time, at timing t11 during execution of the special game based on the 1001st first chance variation pattern after the end of the jackpot game, the second reward effect is started. When the 1001st special game ends at timing t12, the high base state is set. Then, at timing t13 after being controlled to the high base state, the transition effect is started. Further, at timing t14 after timing t13, a right-handed promotion effect is started. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the number of executions of the special game, which has been executed without awarding the jackpot game after the jackpot game is finished, reaches the specified number of times, the high base state is controlled. After the specified number of special games are finished, the transition effect is started, and the right-handed promotion effect is started at the timing after the transition effect is started. That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of executions of the variable game executed without giving the winning game after the winning game reaches the specified number of times, the control to the second game state is performed. A special effect is started after the end of the variation game for the number of times, and a right-handed promotion effect is started at the timing after the special effect is started.

It should be noted that, for example, in the third high base state, the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game is executed based on the first chance variation pattern. In this case, at the timing after the second reward effect ends, the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated. At this time, the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times informing effect is updated based on the remaining number of special games until the number of times the special game is executed reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled in the third high base state. be. Also, in this case, the right-handed promotion effect has already been executed from the execution of the 1001st special game before timing t14, and the right-handed promotion effect is started again at time t14.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the low base state, the special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped is executed based on the second chance variation pattern. At this time, during the execution of the special game based on the second chance variation pattern, after the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type in the normal ready-to-win effect is temporarily stopped and displayed, the confrontation introduction effect is executed, and then the victory effect is performed. executed. Thereafter, at timing t21 during execution of the special game based on the second chance variation pattern, the first reward effect is started. Furthermore, after that, at timing t22 during execution of the special game based on the second chance variation pattern, the transition effect is started. Then, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and the special game ends at timing t23, the game is controlled to the high base state. Furthermore, at timing t24, a right-handed promotion effect is started. In FIG. 15, the timing t23 and the timing t24 are the same or substantially the same, but the timing t24 may be after the timing t23, for example. Also, the special game shown in FIG. 15 is not the 1001st special game after the end of the jackpot game. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, the transition effect is started during execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed. , the right-handed promotion effect is started after the end of the special game, and the right-handed promotion effect is started after the end of the special game. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variation game is controlled to the second game state after the second result is derived, the special effect is started during execution of the variation game from which the second result is derived, and the variation game is executed. After the end of, the right-handed promotion production is started.

Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, the right-handed promotion effect is started at the timing after the transition effect is started. That is, the effect executing means starts the right-handed promotion effect at the timing after the special effect is started. As shown in FIG. 14, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game based on the 1001st first chance variation pattern after the end of the jackpot game is executed, the second reward effect started during execution of the special game. ends after the special game ends. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the special game based on the 1001st first chance variation pattern after the end of the big win game is executed, the second reward effect is executed across the end of the special game. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game based on the second chance variation pattern is executed, the transition effect started during execution of the special game is executed after the special game ends. end at the timing of That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the special game based on the second chance variation pattern is executed, the transition effect is executed across the end of the special game.

Next, control related to execution of various effects will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the right-handed promotion effect. That is, the sub CPU 51 starts the right-handed promotion effect with the start of the jackpot game. When starting the right-handed promotion effect, the secondary CPU 51 starts the first right-handed promotion effect, and after the first right-handed promotion effect ends, the effect display device 25 starts the second right-handed promotion effect. to control. When the high base state ends and the low base state is controlled, the secondary CPU 51 ends the right-handed promotion effect.

Further, in the high base state, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the remaining number image Na. At this time, when it is in the first high base state, the sub CPU 51 displays the remaining number of times image Na including character information indicating the number of times that can be specified from the sub first number of times information so as to execute a remaining number of times notification effect. Control the device 25 . Further, when in the second high base state, the secondary CPU 51 causes the secondary CPU 51 to display a remaining number image Na including character information indicating the number of times that can be specified from the secondary second number information, thereby executing a remaining number of times notification effect. 25. Similarly, when in the third high base state, the sub CPU 51 displays an effect display so as to execute a remaining number of times notification effect in which a remaining number of times image Na including character information indicating the number of times that can be specified from the sub third number of times information is displayed. Control the device 25 .

When specifying the first chance variation pattern from the variation pattern designation command, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 to start the second reward effect during execution of the special game. After the special game ends, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the transition effect. Furthermore, at the timing after starting the transition effect, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the right-handed promotion effect.

Further, in the third high base state, when specifying the first chance variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, the secondary CPU 51 can specify from the remaining number of times notification presentation at the timing after the second reward presentation ends. A performance display device 25 is controlled so that the number of remaining special games is updated. At this time, the sub CPU 51 calculates the difference between the identifiable number of times and 1000 times from the sub third number of times information, and controls the effect display device 25 to display the superimposed image Zu including the character information of the number of times corresponding to the difference. do. After moving and displaying the superimposed image Zu to the position where the remaining number of times image Na is displayed, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the number of times that can be specified from the remaining number of times image Na is updated to 1000 times. Control. Incidentally, the secondary CPU 51 erases the superimposed image Zu after moving and displaying the superimposed image Zu to the position where the remaining number of times image Na is displayed.

When specifying the second chance variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 determines a combination of performance symbols classified into a specific type as a symbol combination of performance symbols to be finally fixed and displayed in the performance game. Similarly, when specifying a specific losing reach variation pattern from a variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 determines a combination of performance symbols classified into a specific type as a symbol combination of performance symbols to be finally fixed and displayed in the performance game. do. By the way, even if the sub CPU 51 specifies a variation pattern with non-jackpot reach that is different from the specified loss reach variation pattern from the variation pattern designation command, it can determine the performance symbol combination that is classified into the specific type as a result. .

Further, when specifying the second chance variation pattern or the specific losing reach variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 temporarily stops and displays the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type in the normal reach effect, The performance display device 25 is controlled to variably display the medium pattern again and start the confrontation introduction performance. Then, when specifying the specific losing reach variation pattern from the variation pattern specifying command, the performance display device 25 is controlled so as to start the defeat performance after starting the confrontation introduction performance. On the other hand, when specifying the second chance variation pattern from the variation pattern specifying command, the effect display device 25 is controlled so as to start the victory effect after starting the confrontation introduction effect. Furthermore, after starting the winning effect and during execution of the special game, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the first reward effect. After starting the first reward effect and during execution of the special game, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the transition effect. Then, in the special game, when the chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed, the special game is ended and the control is performed to the high base state. 25.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 as the effect execution means, thereby realizing the function as the effect control means for controlling the effect execution means. be. Further, in the present embodiment, the secondary CPU 51 controls the decoration lamp 17 as the light emitting means, thereby realizing the function of light emission control means for controlling the light emitting means. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the speaker 18 as sound output means, thereby realizing a function as sound output control means for controlling the sound output means. In this embodiment, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 as display means, thereby realizing the function of display control means for controlling the display means.

Here, based on FIG. 16, various effects when the 1001st special game is executed after the end of the jackpot game in the third high base state will be described. It should be noted that the 1001st special game shown in FIG. 16 is a special game that is executed at least based on the fact that no big win has been won in the big win lottery. Then, regardless of whether the 1001st special game shown in FIG. 16 is a special game in which chance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed or a special game in which lost symbols are determined and stopped, various effects are performed as described below. is executed.

In the third high base state, during execution of the 1001st special game, a right-handed promotion effect is executed. At this time, if the first right-handed promotion effect has ended, the second right-handed promotion effect is executed during the execution of the 1001st special game. In addition, the 1001st special game executed based on the fact that the jackpot lottery did not win the jackpot is executed based on the first chance variation pattern. At this time, at timing t31 during execution of the special game based on the 1001st first chance variation pattern, the second reward effect is started. Then, when the 1001st special game ends at timing t32, the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches a specified number of times, and the second high base state is set as a trigger. Then, at timing t33 after being controlled to the second high base state, the transition effect is started. Further, at timing t34 after the second reward effect is completed, the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated, and the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect becomes 1000 times. (In FIG. 16, it is shown as an additional update of the remaining number of times notification effect). At timing t35 after timing t33, the right-handed promotion effect is started again, and the first right-handed promotion effect is started.

The effects of this embodiment will be described below.
(1) The upper limit number of special games that are controlled to a high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game when the specific condition is established, and the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. The upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state as a result of doing so is set to be more than the upper limit number of times. As a result, the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period is suppressed while suppressing the decrease in pleasure when the control is performed to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game when the specific condition is established. Triggered by the reaching of the specified number of times, the player is entertained with the game property controlled to the high base state, and the amusement can be effectively improved.

On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the third big win game when the specific condition is not established is triggered by the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. It is set to be less than the upper limit number of special games that are controlled to a high base state. Thus, even if the game is controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to whether or not the specific condition is satisfied, and to improve the amusement.

(2) The predetermined period is the period from the end of the jackpot game to the award of the jackpot game. Therefore, after the end of the big win game, until the next big win game is awarded, or until the special game is executed a specified number of times even if the big win game is not awarded, the desire to continue the game is increased and the interest is increased. can be improved. In particular, for example, when a part of the period after the end of the jackpot game is not included in the predetermined period, the period not included in the predetermined period is a period until the high base state is controlled even if the special game is executed. Since it is not shortened, it is easy to increase the motivation to continue the game after the end of the big win game as compared with the case of such a configuration.

(3) Even if the jackpot is not won, if the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game, there is a possibility of being controlled to the high base state. Therefore, for example, even if the jackpot is not won and the number of executions of the special game does not reach the specified number of times within the specified period, the expectation of being controlled to the high base state is given. By doing so, it is possible to improve interest.

(4) If the type of jackpot is the first jackpot or the second jackpot and the specific condition is satisfied, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the jackpot game ends is set to "the number of special games within a predetermined period. The upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state when the number of executions reaches the specified number of times is exceeded. On the other hand, if the type of jackpot is the third jackpot and the specific condition is not satisfied, the upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state after the jackpot game ends is "the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period is the specified number of times." It is less than the upper limit number of special games that are controlled to a high base state when reaching Thus, not only whether or not the player wins the big win, but also the type of the big win is conscious of the relationship between the upper limit number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game, and interest is improved. can be done.

(5) The upper limit number of special games controlled to a high base state after the end of the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game when a specific condition is established is set after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. The number of special games controlled to the high base state is set to be equal to or greater than the upper limit number of times. As a result, when the specific condition is established, the first chance pattern is determined in the special game while suppressing the decrease in joy when the control is performed to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game. It is possible to enjoy the game property controlled to the high base state after the stop display, and to effectively improve the amusement.

On the other hand, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the third big win game when the specific condition is not established is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. It was set to be less than the upper limit number of special games. Thus, even if the game is controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to whether or not the specific condition is satisfied, and to improve the amusement.

(6) The probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery is higher than the probability that the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game without winning the big win lottery. It is possible to heighten expectations for winning a big win in a big win lottery, and even if a big win is not won in a big win lottery, the expectation is given to derivation of a first chance pattern in a special game, Interest can be improved.

Similarly, the probability of winning the big win in the big win lottery is higher than the probability that the second chance symbol is fixed stop displayed in the special game without winning the big win lottery. It is possible to heighten expectations for winning a big win in a big win lottery, and even if a big win is not won in a big win lottery, the expectation is given for derivation of a second chance pattern in a special game, It is possible to improve interest.

(7) In the special game, when the first chance symbols are displayed in a fixed and stopped state and then are controlled to the high base state, after that, when the high base state is continuously controlled, the first chance symbols are displayed in the special game. When the fixed stop display is performed, the first chance symbol is newly controlled to the high base state after the fixed stop display. Thus, even when the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, the first chance symbols are expected to be fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, Interest can be improved.

In particular, at this time, it is possible to control the high base state as the upper limit until the special game is newly executed 1000 times. Therefore, even when the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game and then controlled to the high base state, the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, and the first chance symbols are substantially in the high base state. It is possible to improve interest by making the user expect that the period of control is extended.

(8) In the special game when the high base state is controlled after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game when the specific condition is established, and then the high base state is continuously controlled. Even if the first chance symbol is determined and stopped and displayed, the first chance symbol is not controlled to the high base state with the fact that the first chance symbol is determined and stopped displayed. As a result, during the period of control to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game, the big win game is given continuously without paying attention to whether or not the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped. It is possible to effectively improve interest by making the user pay attention to what is being done.

(9) The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game is set to the upper limit of the special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. More than the number of times. Thus, while suppressing the decrease in pleasure when being controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, the playability of being controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the variable game, and In the special game, after the first chance symbol is fixedly displayed and stopped, the game property controlled to the high base state can be enjoyed, and the amusement can be effectively improved.

Further, the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the high base state after the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. It was set to be less than the upper limit number of special games. As a result, even if the chance symbols are controlled to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, it does not matter whether the type of the chance symbols is the first chance symbols or the second chance symbols. It is possible to provide amusement to pay attention to and improve interest.

(10) When the high base state is controlled after the first chance symbol is derived in the special game, even if the high base state is continuously controlled after that, it is based on the number of executions of the special game. can be controlled to a high base state. Similarly, when the high base state is controlled after the second chance symbols are derived in the special game, even if the high base state is continuously controlled after that, it is based on the number of executions of the special game. can be controlled to a high base state. For this reason, after the first chance symbols or the second chance symbols are derived in the special game, after being controlled to the high base state, even when being controlled to the high base state, based on the number of executions of the special game. It is possible to improve interest by making the player expect to be controlled to the high base state by pressing the button.

In particular, the special game that can be controlled to the third high base state even when it is continuously controlled to the third high base state and is controlled to the second high base state based on the number of executions of the special game. Regardless of the remaining number of times up to the upper limit number of times, it is possible to control to the second high base state with the upper limit until the special game is executed 1000 times. In this way, when the high base state is already controlled and the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state is increased to 1000 times. Updated. For this reason, it becomes easier for the player to experience the feeling of being controlled to the high base state again, and the amusement is improved by the game property of being controlled to the high base state again without the intervention of a big hit when being controlled to the high base state. be able to.

(11) When the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, after that, when the high base state is continuously controlled, the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. Triggered by the fixed stop display of the first chance symbol, it is not controlled to the high base state. Thus, during the period when the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, the period when the high base state is controlled without making the user pay attention to whether or not the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped is displayed. can be enjoyed, and interest can be effectively improved.

(12) The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game, and the special game is controlled to the high base state after the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed. Any of the upper limit number of special games is less than the specified number of times. As a result, it is possible to make the degree of difficulty from the end of the big win game to the execution of the specified number of special games without the award of the big win game high. , more chance symbols are derived and the player expects to be controlled to a high base state.

(13) Control to the high base state is triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game that has been executed without awarding the jackpot game after the jackpot game has reached a specified number of times. Then, the upper limit number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is less than the stipulated number of times, and the difference from the stipulated number of times is one. For this reason, for example, even if the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the first special game after the end of the jackpot game, the high base state is maintained based on the number of executions of the special game. It becomes controllable to a high base state until it is controlled. In other words, during the period from the end of the jackpot game until the control to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, even if the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in any special game, the special game until it is controlled to the high base state on the basis of the number of executions of . And, with such playability, it is possible to improve interest.

(14) The number of times the determination mode of the variation pattern is switched to the high base state triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is defined as the number of times the decision mode of the variation pattern is switched to the jackpot. varied according to type. As a result, during the period from the end of the big win game to the control to the second game state triggered by the number of executions of the special game reaching the specified number of times within the predetermined period, various It is possible to improve interest by causing a change by switching the determination mode of the variation pattern.

(15) The type of variation pattern that can be determined when executing a special game for the specified number of times within a predetermined period is higher than the type of variation pattern that can be determined when performing a special game other than the specified number of times within a predetermined period. less. In other words, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, the type of variation pattern that can be determined in executing the final special game when controlled to the high base state is determined for a predetermined period of time. The number of types of variation patterns that can be determined is reduced when executing a special game other than the specified number of times in the game. As a matter of course, the chances that the special game is played a specified number of times within the predetermined period are less than the chances that the special game is played less than the specified number of times within the predetermined period. Therefore, even if the number of types of fluctuation patterns is reduced, there is little effect. Therefore, by reducing the number of types of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the special game for the specified number of times within a predetermined period, it is possible to save the trouble of examining many types of variation patterns while improving interest. It is possible to reduce the types of fluctuation patterns to be stored.

(16) The number of times the determination mode of the variation pattern is switched to the high base state triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times is set to the jackpot. Regardless of the kind of game state at the time of winning, it is made different according to the kind of big win. As a result, during the period from the end of the big win game until the control to the second game state triggered by the number of executions of the special game reaching the specified number of times within the predetermined period, the game when the big win is won. Irrespective of the type of state, it is possible to improve interest by changing the determination mode of various variation patterns depending on the type of jackpot.

(17) Suppose that it is controlled to a high base state after the end of the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game when a specific condition is established. When the high base state is controlled, the variation pattern is determined by any one of the plurality of determination modes before the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number. However, the types of variation patterns that can be determined when the first chance symbols are fixedly displayed in the special game are the same. That is, in the first high base state and within the predetermined period, the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game regardless of the situation in which the variation pattern is determined in any determination mode. The types of fluctuation patterns that can sometimes be determined are common. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of examining many types of variation patterns, and reduce the types of variation patterns to be stored. It should be noted that when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game, the game is controlled to the high base state after that, so even if the variation of the performance is somewhat small, the improvement of interest can be expected. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of examining many types of variation patterns while improving interest, and to reduce the types of variation patterns to be stored.

(18) A case where the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the specified number of special games within a predetermined period, and a case where the first chance symbols are not fixed and stopped in the specified number of special games within the specified period. will later be controlled to a high base state. Therefore, the type of variation pattern that can be determined when the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game of the specified number of times within a predetermined period, and the lost symbol in the special game of the specified number of times within the predetermined period are determined. and the type of variation pattern that can be determined when statically displayed. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of examining many types of variation patterns, and reduce the types of variation patterns to be stored.

(19) When no big win has been won in the big win lottery, the non-big win symbols by the performance symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the performance game. In addition, after the non-jackpot symbols based on the performance symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed, there are cases where the showdown introduction performance is executed to suggest that the high base state is controlled. When it is controlled to the high base state, it is controlled to the high base state at the timing after the end of the confrontation introduction effect. As a result, even if the non-jackpot pattern by the performance pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the performance game, the enjoyment of paying attention to whether or not the confrontation introduction performance is executed after that is provided, and furthermore, the high base state is provided after the confrontation introduction performance is finished. It is possible to improve the amusement by providing the user with the pleasure of paying attention to what is being controlled.

(20) In the special game, if the losing symbol is fixed and stopped and is not controlled to the high base state, and if the confrontation introduction effect is executed during the execution of the special game, the player loses after the confrontation introduction effect is finished. A performance is performed. On the other hand, in the case where the first chance symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game and is controlled to the high base state, if the confrontation introduction effect is executed during the execution of the special game, after the confrontation introduction effect is finished. , the victory effect is executed. As a result, after the end of the confrontation introduction presentation, when paying attention to whether the control is actually performed to the high base state, attention is paid to which of the defeat presentation and the victory presentation is executed, thereby improving interest. can be done.

(21) The non-jackpot symbols by the performance symbols temporarily displayed in the performance game in which the confrontation introduction performance is executed are the performance symbol combinations classified into some specific types among the non-jackpot symbols by a plurality of types of performance symbols. be. Therefore, even if the non-jackpot pattern by the performance pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed, attention is paid to whether the non-jackpot pattern by the performance pattern is a combination of performance patterns classified into a specific type, and interest is improved. be able to.

(22) Even if the performance symbol combination classified into a specific type is temporarily displayed in the performance game, the confrontation introduction performance may be executed after that, and the confrontation introduction performance may not be executed thereafter. Therefore, even if the combination of performance symbols classified into a specific kind is temporarily displayed, attention can be paid to whether or not the confrontation introduction performance is actually executed after that, and interest can be improved.

(23) The pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute a transition effect that can specify that it is controlled to the high base state or that it is controlled to the high base state. Then, when the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, or when the high base state is controlled after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game, the control is started to the high base state. The timing at which the transition effect is started differs from the timing at which the transition effect is started. That is, the relationship between the start timing of the high base state controlled based on the number of executions of the special game and the timing at which the transition effect is started is the high base state controlled after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. This is different from the relationship between the timing at which the transition effect is started with respect to the timing at which the base state is started. In this way, the transition performance is executed at a timing suitable for each situation. Thereby, the game property is controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, and the game is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game even if the big win is not won. It is possible to effectively enjoy sex and improve interest.

Further, in the effect display device 25, the right-handed promotion effect is started at the timing after the transition effect is started. This makes it easier for the player to grasp that the game ball is to be shot to the right area of the game board 20 in order to aim at entering the second start hole 27 by being controlled to the high base state.

(24) Effect mode of the transition effect executed when the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, and the control to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. At least a part of the effect mode of the transition effect that is executed in the case of In this way, the transition effect is executed in the effect mode suitable for each situation. As a result, when the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times, the game is controlled to the high base state. It is possible to effectively enjoy the game property controlled to the base state and to improve the amusement.

(25) In game arcades, for example, a display device called a data counter may be set near the pachinko game machine. In this data counter, for example, the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game may be displayed. For this reason, it is easy to grasp the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game. It is highly likely that it is assumed to be controlled by the state. For this reason, when the number of executions of the special game executed without awarding the jackpot game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times, the special game of the specified number of times is controlled to the high base state. After the end of the transition effect is started. As a result, even if the player is unaware of the high base state, the execution of the transition effect can make the player aware of the high base state. Furthermore, at the timing after the transition effect is started, the right-handed promotion effect is started. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to understand that the game ball is to be shot to the right area of the game board 20 in order to aim the ball into the second starting hole 27 by being controlled to the high base state.

(26) It is difficult for the player to guess that the first chance symbol will be fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. Therefore, when the high base state is controlled after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, the transition performance is started during execution of the special game in which the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed. As a result, the player can be surprised by the transition effect that is executed before the actual control to the high base state, and the control to the high base state is started from the timing before the control to the high base state. It will be possible to prepare for the event. Furthermore, in the special game, when the first chance symbols are fixed and displayed and then the base state is controlled to the high base state, the right-handed promotion effect is started after the end of the special game. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to understand that the game ball is to be shot to the right area of the game board 20 in order to enter the second start hole 27 by being controlled to the high base state.

(27) Even when the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game and are controlled to the high base state, when the special game is controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, the special game is not executed. A reward effect that can be specified to be controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions is executed in the effect display device 25.例文帳に追加In this way, even when the high base state has already been controlled, the special game is executed by executing a reward effect that can be specified to be controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game. It is possible to make the player understand that the high base state is controlled again based on the number of executions of . In addition, the player is not only controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, but is also controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game. It is possible to improve interest.

(28) In the special game, when the first chance symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state and then controlled to the high base state, after that, when the control is continued to the high base state, based on the number of executions of the special game. When controlled to the high base state, the first reward effect is executed. On the other hand, when the first chance symbol is not derived in the special game and the high base state is not controlled, thereafter, when the control is continued to the low base state, the high base state is based on the number of executions of the special game. , a second reward effect is executed that is at least partially different from the first reward effect. In this way, by executing the reward effect of the effect content according to the situation, it is possible to effectively increase the pleasure of being controlled to the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, and improve the interest.

(29) In the special game, when the third high base state is controlled after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped, the special game is executed when the third high base state continues thereafter. Assume that the second high base state is controlled based on the number of times. In this case, the remaining number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is updated based on the remaining number of special games until the number of times of execution of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled in the third high base state. be. In this way, although there is no change in the period during which the second high base state is controlled, the remaining number of special games is reported until the number of executions of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled to the third high base state. By causing a change in the update of the remaining number of variable games that can be specified from the presentation, the game becomes more interesting, and it is possible to improve the amusement.

The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.
・When the confrontation effect is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and stopped, the high base state is controlled at the timing when the victory effect ends or at the timing during the execution of the victory effect. can be configured to When the high base state is controlled at a timing in the middle of execution of the winning effect, the winning effect is executed over the timing at which the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and stopped is finished.

・Even when the confrontation effect is executed during the execution of the special game in which the chance symbols are fixed and displayed, the defeat effect may be executed. After the defeat effect is executed, before the control to the high base state, the victory effect or the effect different from the victory effect is executed, and the control to the high base state is notified. You may Also, in the gaming machine in the above embodiment, the confrontation effect may not be executed.

In the effect game, when the effect symbol combination classified into the specific type is temporarily stopped and displayed, the confrontation effect may be executed after that. Also, the combination of performance symbols classified into the specific type may be changed, for example, the combination of performance symbols including special performance symbols different from the performance symbols imitating numbers may be used.

・When the high base state is controlled based on the number of executions of the special game, or when the high base state is controlled after the chance symbols are displayed for fixed stop in the special game, the control is started to the high base state. The timing at which the transition effect is started may be the same as the timing at which the transition effect is started. That is, when the timing at which control is started in the high base state is used as a reference, the case where the control is performed in the high base state based on the number of executions of the special game, and the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped are displayed in the special game. The timing at which the transition effect is started may be the same as in the case where the state is controlled. That is, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times and the control is performed to the high base state, the relationship between the start timing of the high base state and the timing of starting the transition effect is as follows. This may be the same as the relationship between the start timing of the high base state and the timing at which the transition effect is started when the chance symbols are fixed and displayed in the special game and then the state is controlled to the high base state.

・When the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, the transition effect that is executed when the high base state is controlled is executed after the chance symbols are displayed in the special game and stopped. All the effects modes may be different from the transition effects executed when the state is controlled. In addition, the transition effect that is executed when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the prescribed number of times and is controlled to the high base state is the high base state after the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. The effect mode may be the same as the transition effect executed in the case of being controlled to the base state. At this time, the same transition effect may be executed, or while the effect mode is the same, part or all of the display contents of the effect display device 25 may be different. Further, the transition effect does not have to be the content of notifying that the second chance mode is controlled. For example, the transition effect may be the content of notifying that the high base state is controlled, or the content of notifying that the effect mode (for example, the normal mode) that has been controlled until then is terminated. may

- It may be configured such that the right-handed promotion effect is started at the timing after the transition effect ends. Also, the timing at which the transition effect is started and the timing at which the right-handed promotion effect is started may be the same or substantially the same. For example, it may be configured such that the transition effect is started and the right-handed promotion effect is started. Further, the right-handed promotion effect may be started at a timing before the transition effect is started. Also, in the gaming machine in the above embodiment, the transition effect may not be executed.

・When the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times and the high base state is controlled, the transition effect is started before the specified number of special games are completed. It may be configured as

・In the special game, when the chance symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state and then the state is controlled to the high base state, the transition effect is started at the timing after the special game ends or at the timing when the special game ends. may be configured.

If the third high base state is controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the predetermined number, the predetermined Triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within the period has reached a specified number, the same reward effect as in the case of being controlled to the second high base state may be executed. In other words, when the player is in the low base state and is controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, when the player is in the third high base state. Triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number, the same reward effect as in the case of being controlled to the second high base state may be executed. For example, the effect content of the first reward effect and the effect content of the second reward effect may be the same. The effect content of the first reward effect may be completely different from the effect content of the second reward effect. Also, in the gaming machine in the above embodiment, the reward effect may not be executed.

・When the remaining number of times notification effect is updated in the third high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times and the control is performed to the second high base state. , the content may not be updated based on the number of remaining special games until the number of times the special game is executed reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled in the third high base state. At this time, for example, regardless of the remaining number of special games until the number of executions of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times that can be controlled in the third high base state, the number of special games that can be specified from the remaining number of times notification effect is a predetermined number. The upper limit number of special games controlled to the second high base state may be updated when the number of times the special game is executed within the period reaches a specified number of times.

- It is good also as several kinds of production modes classified into some or all among normal mode, 1st chance mode, and 2nd chance mode. For example, there may be a plurality of types of production modes classified into the second chance mode. At this time, for example, an operation means that can be operated by the player is provided, and when the operation means is operated while being controlled in the second chance mode, the type of production mode classified as the second chance mode. may be configured to be selectable. In addition, for example, it may be configured such that the type of the effect mode classified as the first chance mode is switched according to the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the jackpot game. For example, according to the variation pattern table, the type of production mode classified into the first chance mode may be switched. For example, when the control is in the second chance mode, if the period during which the chance symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game to be controlled to the high base state is extended, the production mode is classified as the second chance mode. may be configured such that the type of is switched.

During the period from the end of the big win game until the control to the high base state triggered by the execution of 1001 times of the special game, the number of times the fluctuation pattern table is switched does not differ depending on the type of the big win, for example, It may be changed depending on the type of game state when winning the jackpot. In addition, during the period from the end of the big win game to the time when the special game is executed 1001 times to control to the high base state, the number of times the variation pattern table is switched depends on the kind of the big win and the number of times the big win was won. It may be changed depending on the type of game state at the time.

When in the first high base state, the special game depends on which variation pattern table is referred to among a plurality of types of variation pattern tables before the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the specified number of times. , the number (kind) of variation patterns that can be determined when the chance symbols are fixedly displayed may be varied.

・The variation pattern that can be determined when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the specified number of special games after the end of the big win game is when the winning symbols are fixed and stopped in the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game. may be different from the determinable variation pattern. Further, the variation pattern that can be determined when the chance symbols are determined and stopped in the special game of the specified number of times after the end of the big win game is that the lost symbols are determined and stopped in the 1001st special game after the end of the big win game. It may be partly identical to a determinable variation pattern.

・The number (kind) of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the special game for the specified number of times after the end of the jackpot game is the number of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the special game other than the specified number of times after the end of the jackpot game. It may be the same as the number (kind). Further, the number (kind) of variation patterns that can be determined when executing the special game for the specified number of times after the end of the big win game is the variation pattern that can be determined when performing the special game other than the specified number of times after the end of the big win game. may be greater than the number (types) of

- The type of fluctuation pattern table may be changed. Also, the timing at which the variation pattern table is switched may be changed. For example, after the second jackpot game is over, the type of variation pattern table may be switched so that the average variation time of the special game is gradually shortened. Further, for example, after the end of the first jackpot game and after the end of the second jackpot game, the period in which the fluctuation pattern table with the short average time of the fluctuation time of the special game is referred to may be the same.

- A plurality of types of variation pattern tables may be referred to when in the low base state. For example, in the low base state, a variation pattern table referred to when executing a special game reaching a specified number of times, a variation pattern table referred to when executing a special game before reaching the specified number of times, can be different. In addition, a variation pattern table referred to when executing a special game reaching a specified number of times when in the low base state, and a variation pattern table referred to when executing a special game reaching a specified number of times when in the high base state and may be the same. That is, the variation pattern table referred to when executing the special game reaching the specified number of times may be the same in both the low base state and the high base state. By sharing the variation pattern table in this way, there is no need to provide a variation pattern table for each game state. In the above-described embodiment, the special game that has reached the specified number of times is the special game that has been played the specified number of times after the jackpot game is finished.

・When the chance symbol is displayed in the special game while the third high base state is in the fixed stop display, the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled to the third high base state before the chance symbol is displayed in the fixed stop display In addition, the upper limit number of controllable special games may be added to the third high base state by the determined stop display of the relevant chance symbol. By performing such addition, the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled in the third high base state does not decrease, and regardless of whether the state is the low base state or the third high base state, the special game It is possible to expect that the chance symbol will be displayed in a fixed stop.

- There may be a plurality of types of special symbols classified into at least one of the first chance symbols and the second chance symbols. Also, at least one of the first chance symbols and the second chance symbols may not be provided. For example, when a big win is not won, it is not necessary to create an opportunity to be controlled to a high base state by the type of special symbols fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. In addition, even if the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game, the special game that can be controlled to the third high base state according to the type of the game state when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped is displayed. The upper limit number of times may be varied. Further, for example, even if a chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in a special game in the third high base state, it is not controlled to the third high base state, triggered by the fixed stop display of the chance symbol. , and the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled to the third high base state may not be updated. In addition, the type of chance symbol may be configured to be determined along with winning in the chance lottery. Further, in the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, even if the gaming machine is not controlled to the high base state according to the type of the special symbol fixed and stopped displayed in the special game when the big winning lottery is not won, good. In this case, it is not necessary to provide a chance design as a kind of special design.

- A preliminary effect (so-called pre-reading effect) may be configured to be executable. For example, control information based on the values of various random numbers acquired in the special symbol input process (hereinafter referred to as a read-ahead command) may be configured to be output from the main board 40 to the sub-board 50 . Then, the sub CPU 51 may store the input prefetch command in the sub RWM 53, and may be configured to be able to execute the preliminary effect based on the input prefetch command. For example, when the execution of the special game for the specified number of times is suspended, there is no special game that will be a big win among the suspended special games that are executed before the execution of the special game. In this case, it may be configured to be able to execute a preliminary effect suggesting how many remaining special games are to be executed before the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number of times. At this time, the secondary CPU 51, based on the look-ahead command stored in the secondary RWM 53, executes the special game before the execution of the special game when execution of the special game is suspended for the specified number of times. It can be determined whether there is a special game that will be a big win among the pending special games to be played. A preliminary effect suggesting how many remaining special games are to be executed before the number of times the special game is executed reaches the specified number of times may be executed as the second reward effect in the above-described embodiment. That is, the second reward effect in the above-described embodiment may be configured to be executed across the specified number of special games and the special game executed before the special game.

In addition, for example, in the low base state, if there is a special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped among the special games whose execution is suspended, it suggests that the third high base state is controlled. It may be configured such that the pre-performance can be executed. In the low base state, even if there is no special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped among the special games whose execution is suspended, this pre-performance can be executed in practice. It is possible to provide the enjoyment of watching how the third high base state is controlled to. In executing such a preliminary effect, the secondary CPU 51 determines that there is a special game in which the chance symbols are determined and stopped among the special games whose execution is suspended based on the look-ahead command stored in the secondary RWM 53. can decide whether to By the way, not only in the low base state, but also in the third high base state, for example, the pre-rendering suggesting that the third high base state will be controlled can be executed. good. In executing the pre-performance suggesting control to the third high base state, the pre-performance is performed in a special game in which either the first chance symbol or the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped when the low base state is set. On the other hand, the special game in which the second chance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed in the third high base state may not be subject to the preliminary effect. In other words, the type of chance symbols to be the target of the preliminary effect suggesting the control to the third high base state may be varied according to the game state. The preliminary effect suggesting that the game will be controlled to the third high base state may be configured to be executed as the confrontation introduction effect in the above embodiment.

・You may change the prescribed number of times. For example, the specified number of times may be the same as the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game, or may be less than the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game. may For example, the specified number of times may be the same as the upper limit number of times of the special game that is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game, or the first chance symbols are determined in the special game. It may be less than the upper limit number of special games that are controlled to the high base state after being stopped and displayed. In addition, the difference between the specified number of times and the upper limit number of times of the special game that is controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game may be two times or more. In addition, the gaming machine of the above embodiment may be a gaming machine that cannot be controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times.

・The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is triggered by the number of times the special game is executed after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. The number of times may be greater than the upper limit number of times of the variable game controlled by the state. Further, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is increased when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the big win game reaches the specified number of times. The number of times may be less than the upper limit number of variable games controlled to the base state. The upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is the number of special games controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. The number of times may be greater than the upper limit number of times. Further, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the first big win game or the second big win game is the special game controlled to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. The number of times may be less than the upper limit number of games. The upper limit number of variable games that are controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times is set to the high base state after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. The number of times may be greater than the upper limit number of times of the special game that is controlled. In addition, the upper limit number of variable games that are controlled to the high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times is increased after the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game. The number of times may be less than the upper limit number of special games controlled to the base state.

The upper limit number of special games to be controlled to the high base state after the end of the big win game may be varied depending on the game state when the big win is won. For example, in the above-described embodiment, if a big win is won in the high base state and the first big win game is awarded, 1000 special games are executed after the first big win game is completed. The upper limit may be configured to be controllable to a high base state. On the other hand, in the above-described embodiment, when a big win is won in the low base state and the first big win game is awarded, the special game is executed 100 times after the end of the first big win game. The upper limit may be configured to be controllable to a high base state. In such a configuration, the specific condition is not satisfied only by the awarding of the first big win game, but is satisfied when the game state is the high base state when the big win is won. That is, even if the first jackpot game is given, the specific condition may not be satisfied. As described above, when the specific condition is established or when the specific condition is not established, the situation is not limited to the situation shown in the above embodiment. Further, regarding establishment of the specific condition, it is not necessary to have a plurality of types of jackpots, and as illustrated, even if only the first jackpot game can be provided, there are times when the specific condition is met and times when it is not met. You can.

- The probability that the jackpot symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game after winning the jackpot may be the same as the probability that the first chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game without winning the jackpot. It may be lower than the probability that the first chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game without winning the . Similarly, the probability that the big win is won and the big win symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game may be the same as the probability that the second chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game without winning the big win. , it may be lower than the probability that the second chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in the special game without winning the jackpot. In addition, the probability that the big win is won and the big win symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game may be the same as the probability that the chance symbols are fixed and stopped and displayed in the special game without winning the big win. It may be lower than the probability that the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game without winning.

・When the number of executions of the special game reaches the prescribed number of times within a prescribed period while being controlled to the third high base state continuously after being controlled to the third high base state, It may be configured such that when the prescribed number of times is reached, control is not performed to the second high base state, and control is continued to the third high base state. Further, in the case of being controlled to the first high base state, after that, when the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game while being continuously controlled to the first high base state, the third high base state is displayed. It may be configured to be state controlled. Similarly, when controlled to the second high base state, after that, when the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game while being continuously controlled to the second high base state, the third high base state is displayed. It may be configured to be controlled to the base state.

The mode of right-handed hitting promotion effect when controlled to the first high base state, the mode of right-handed hitting promotion effect when controlled to the second high base state, and the mode of right-handed hitting promotion effect when controlled to the third high base state A part of the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect when the player is in the game may be different from the other aspects. The mode of the second hitting-to-right promotion effect when controlled to the first high-base state is controlled to the mode of the second hitting-to-right promotion effect when controlled to the second high-base state and the third high-base state. You may make it differ from the aspect of the 2nd right hitting promotion production|presentation at the time of being made. Incidentally, in order to change the mode of the right-handed promotion effect, the image displayed on the effect display device 25 may be changed when the right-handed promotion effect is executed, or the effect display may be changed when the right-handed promotion effect is executed. The display area of the image displayed on the device 25 may be varied. In order to change the display area of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 when executing the right-hand hitting promotion effect, the display position of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 is changed when executing the right-hand hitting promotion effect. Alternatively, the size (display area) of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 may be varied when executing the right-handed promotion effect. Also, the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect during the big win game and the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect when controlled to the high base state may be different. For example, the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect during the jackpot game and the right-handed promotion effect when controlled to the second high base state may be different. For example, the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect during the jackpot game and the aspect of the right-handed promotion effect when controlled to the third high base state may be different. In addition, it is not necessary to execute the right-handed promotion effect. In addition, the right-handed promotion effect is not limited to the effect executed in the effect display device 25. It may be configured such that a hitting promotion effect is executed.

- The right-handed promotion effect does not have to consist of the first right-handed promotional effect and the second right-handed promotion effect. For example, the hitting-to-the-right promotion effect may be an effect configured with only one of the first hitting-to-the-right promotion effect and the second hitting-to-the-right promotion effect.

・When it is a part of the high base state from the first high base state to the third high base state, at least one of the other high base state, the control related to the normal game, and the control related to the normal winning game A part or all of the control may be different. For example, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 when the normal winning game is given when the first high base state is the second high base state or the third high base state When the normal winning game is given The opening mode of the first variable member 28 may be different from that when the first variable member 28 is opened. Similarly, for example, the opening mode of the first variable member 28 when the normal winning game is given when it is in the second high base state is when the normal winning game is given when it is in the third high base state , the opening mode of the first variable member 28 may be different. In addition, for example, the variable time of the normal game when in the first high base state is the first variable member 28 when the normal winning game is given when in the second high base state or the third high base state You may make it differ from an open mode. Further, for example, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery in the first high base state may be different from the probability of winning the normal winning lottery in the second high base state or the third high base state. . Further, when the first chance symbol is in the third high base state after the fixed stop display, when the second chance symbol is in the third high base state after the fixed stop display, and control related to the normal game. And you may vary a part or all of at least one of the controls relating to the normal per game.

- In the above embodiment, the second special game is preferentially executed over the first special game. may be configured to be executed in the same order. Alternatively, the first special game may be executed with priority over the second special game. In addition, the first special game and the second special game may be configured to be executable at the same time. For example, while the effect game corresponding to the first special game is executed in the low base state, the second special game is executed in the high base state. A production game corresponding to the second special game may be executed.

- The above-described embodiment may be applied to a pachinko machine that performs a small win lottery (hit lottery) in addition to the big win lottery (hit lottery). In general, when a small win (hit) is won in a small winning lottery, the small winning pattern (hit result) is fixed and displayed in a special game, and a small winning game (winning game) is awarded after the special game ends. be done. In the gaming machine of the embodiment, for example, the number of times (frequency) that a small win is won per unit time (frequency) or the number (frequency) of giving a small win game per unit time is improved compared to the normal game state. It may be embodied in a pachinko game machine that can be controlled in a state (so-called small hit RUSH). In a pachinko game machine that carries out a small winning lottery, it can be said that a case of not winning a winning lottery corresponds to a case of not winning a big winning in a big winning lottery and not winning a small winning in a small winning lottery. . Also, the period in which the high base state can be controlled after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped may be a period determined by the number of times the small winning lottery is won (or the number of times the small winning game is awarded).

· The pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment may be embodied in a gaming machine that gives a jackpot game when a game ball passes through a specific area. For example, the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment provides a jackpot game based on winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery and a jackpot game based on a game ball passing through a specific area (so-called one type It may be embodied in a two-kind mixer).

- The pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment may be embodied as a gaming machine that can be controlled to a low probability state and a high probability state as game states with different probabilities of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery. The high-probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is higher than in the low-probability state. In the high-probability state, the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery is higher than in the low-probability state, resulting in an advantageous gaming state. The high-probability state is a "probability-variable state (probability-variable state)", and the low-probability state is a "non-probability-variable state (non-probability-variable state)". The predetermined period in the pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to the variable probability state may be a period from the end of the jackpot game to the award of the jackpot game, as in the above embodiment. In addition, the predetermined period in the pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to the variable probability state may be a period from when the state is changed to the non-variable probability state to when the jackpot game is awarded. As described above, the predetermined period is not limited to the period from the end of the jackpot game to the award of the jackpot game, regardless of whether the gaming machine is controllable to the variable probability state. It may be a part of the period from the time until the jackpot game is awarded.

In addition, as a pachinko game machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state, specifications to control to a variable probability state until the next big hit game is given, specifications to control to a variable probability state until winning a falling lottery (falling machine), or in advance There is a specification (ST machine) that controls to a variable probability state until the special game for the specified number of times is completed. Some pachinko machines adopting a specification to control to a variable probability state until the special game for a predetermined number of times is completed, the predetermined number of times, the variable probability state until the next big hit game is substantially given. There are pachinko machines that set the number of times they are controlled. Here, the number of times that the variable probability state is controlled until the next jackpot game is given is, for example, 10000 times, the number of times more than the specified number of times, the upper limit of the special game that can be controlled to the second high base state The number of times may be equal to or greater than the number of times, or the number of times equal to or greater than the upper limit number of special games that can be controlled to the third high base state. Incidentally, in this case, the period during which the variable probability state is controlled may be controlled to the high base state. That is, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game in the case of being controlled to the variable probability state is the high base when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. It may be more than the upper limit number of special games controlled by the state. Similarly, the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state after the end of the jackpot game in the case of being controlled to the probability variable state is the special game controlled to the high base state after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. It may be equal to or more than the upper limit number of games. In addition, the pachinko game machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state has a specification (V variable machine) that controls the variable probability state when the game ball passes through a specific area. The pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment may be embodied as a pachinko gaming machine with any of these specifications. Also, the pachinko game machine may be a pachinko game machine with specifications that mix the falling machine and the V-variable machine described above. In addition, the V-variable machine has a specification that provides a single large winning opening and causes a specific round game. The V variable machine is equipped with a plurality of large winning openings consisting of a large winning opening (V winning opening) opened in a specific round game and a large winning opening opened in a round game other than a specific round game, and a specific round There are specifications that cause play. The pachinko game machine of the above-described embodiment may be embodied as a V probability changing machine of any specification among these specifications.

- In the above embodiment, even if the power supply is interrupted, at least a part of the memory contents of the main RWM 43 may be configured to be able to be stored. Then, for example, if the memory content of the main RWM 43 is not initialized when the power supply is started after the power supply is interrupted in the second high base state, the state is returned to the second high base state. It may be configured as That is, after the power supply is cut off, when the power supply is restarted, the gaming state before the power supply is cut off may be restored. Further, when the memory contents of the main RWM 43 are initialized when the power supply is started after the power supply is interrupted, an effect that can specify that the memory contents of the main RWM 43 have been initialized is provided. A part or all of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 may be configured to be executable. For example, the jackpot game is not given until the special game is executed 1000 times after being controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, Suppose it is controlled to a low base state. After that, when the power supply is started after the power supply is cut off, it is indicated that the control to the second high base state is triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has already reached the specified number of times. An identifiable effect may be executed in the effect display device 25. - 特許庁One of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 can specify that the control to the second high base state has been performed when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has already reached the specified number of times. It may be configured to be executed in some or all of the production devices. On the other hand, for example, suppose that the power supply is interrupted in the low base state before being controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. . After that, when the power supply is started, an effect that can be specified that the control to the second high base state has not yet been performed is produced when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. It may be executed on the display device 25 . The effect that can specify that the second high base state has not been controlled when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has reached the specified number of times is the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25. It may be configured to be executed in some or all of the production devices. Further, for example, an effect that can specify that the control to the second high base state has been performed when the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has already reached the specified number of times, and the number of executions of the special game still within the predetermined period. It may be configured such that only one of an effect that can specify that the control to the second high base state is not performed when the number of times reaches a specified number of times. When at least one of the effects described above is configured to be executable, the high base state is set when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times with the start of power supply. It becomes possible to identify whether it is controlled. As a result, for example, it becomes easier to determine whether the memory contents of the main RWM 43 should be initialized. For example, the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period reaches the predetermined number, even though the number of executions of the special game has already reached the predetermined number of times within the predetermined period, and the base state is controlled to the high base state. It is possible to suppress the expectation of being controlled to a high base state at .
