A plurality of winning holes are formed in the game board 20 so as to open to the game area 20a. The plurality of prize winning openings are ball entrances into which game balls can enter. The plurality of winning openings include at least a first starting opening 22, a second starting opening 23, a first big winning opening 24, and a second big winning opening 25. - 特許庁The first starting hole 22 is a prize winning hole into which a game ball is entered when satisfying the payout condition of the prize ball and the starting condition of the first special game. As an example, the first starting port 22 is located below the effect display section 15 and is always open so that a game ball can enter. The game board 20 includes a first start detection section SE1 that detects a game ball entering the first start hole 22 (see FIG. 6).

The second starting port 23 is a prize winning port into which a game ball is entered when satisfying the payout condition of the prize ball and the starting condition of the second special game. The second starting port 23 is to the right of the first starting port 22 . The second starting port 23 includes an opening/closing piece 23a having a plate shape, for example. The second starting port 23 is closed and opened by an opening/closing piece 23a. That is, the opening/closing piece 23a can take a closed state and an open state. The second starting port 23 is opened when a normal winning game is generated. The second starting port 23 can enter a game ball when it is open. The second starting port 23 is closed when the normal winning game is not generated. The second starting port 23 cannot enter a game ball when it is closed, or it is difficult to enter a game ball when it is closed compared to when it is open. As an example, the second starting port 23 always opens toward the left. As an example, the opening/closing piece 23a is buried in the game board 20 when in the closed state. As an example, the opening/closing piece 23a allows a game ball to flow down on the upper surface when the opening/closing piece 23a is in an open state. As an example, the opening/closing piece 23a is provided such that its upper surface is inclined downward to the right. As an example, the game ball flowing down the upper surface of the open/close piece 23 a is guided to the second starting port 23 when the open/close piece 23 a is in the open state. That is, when the opening/closing piece 23a is in the open state, the game ball flows down the upper surface of the opening/closing piece 23a and enters the second starting hole 23. As shown in FIG. As an example, the opening/closing piece 23a allows a game ball to flow down on the upper surface of the opening/closing piece 23a during at least a part of the period during which the opening/closing piece 23a is displaced from the open state to the closed state. Therefore, the game ball can enter the second starting port 23 while the opening/closing piece 23a is displaced from the open state to the closed state. The game board 20 is provided with a normal solenoid SL1 as a means for opening and closing the opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 (see FIG. 6). The game board 20 includes a second start detector SE2 that detects a game ball entering the second start hole 23 (see FIG. 6). The opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 is a so-called "ordinary electric accessory".

The first big winning hole 24 is a winning hole into which a game ball is entered when satisfying the payout condition of the prize ball. The first big prize opening 24 is located on the right side of the effect display section 15 . The first big winning opening 24 is above the second starting opening 23 . The first big prize winning opening 24 includes an opening/closing piece 24a having a drop shape, for example. The first big prize winning opening 24 is closed and opened by an opening/closing piece 24a. That is, the opening/closing piece 24a can take a closed state and an open state. The first big winning opening 24 is opened when a big winning game is generated. A game ball can enter the first big winning hole 24 when it is open. The first big winning opening 24 is closed when no big winning game is occurring. A game ball cannot enter the first big winning hole 24 when it is closed. As an example, the opening/closing piece 24a assumes the open state by rotating about one-fourth of a turn leftward about the lower portion from the closed state. In other words, when the first big winning hole 24 is open, the game ball enters the first big winning hole 24 after flowing down the inner wall surface (upper surface) of the opening/closing piece 24a. The game board 20 is provided with a first special solenoid SL2 as means for opening and closing the opening/closing piece 24a of the first big winning slot 24 (see FIG. 6). The game board 20 includes a first special detection section SE3 that detects a game ball that has entered the first big winning hole 24 (see FIG. 6). The opening/closing piece 24a of the first big prize opening 24 is a so-called "special electric accessory".

The second big winning hole 25 is a winning hole into which a game ball is entered when satisfying the payout condition of the prize balls. The second big prize opening 25 is located at the lower right side of the effect display section 15. - 特許庁The second big prize opening 25 is below the first big prize opening 24 . The second big winning opening 25 is below the second starting opening 23 . The second big prize winning opening 25 includes an opening/closing piece 25a having a plate shape, for example. The second big winning opening 25 is closed and opened by an opening/closing piece 25a. That is, the opening/closing piece 25a can take a closed state and an open state. The second big winning opening 25 is opened when a small winning game is generated. A game ball can enter the second big winning hole 25 when it is open. The second big winning opening 25 is closed when no small winning game is occurring. A game ball cannot enter the second big winning hole 25 when it is closed. As an example, the second big winning opening 25 opens upward when the opening/closing piece 25a is in the open state. As an example, when the opening/closing piece 25a is in the closed state, a game ball can flow down on the upper surface. As an example, the opening/closing piece 25a is buried in the game board 20 when in the open state. In other words, the game ball flowing down the upper surface of the opening/closing piece 25a in the closed state enters the second big winning hole 25 when the opening/closing piece 25a is in the open state. The game board 20 is provided with a second special solenoid SL3 as means for opening and closing the opening/closing piece 25a of the second big winning hole 25 (see FIG. 6). The game board 20 includes a second special detection section SE4 that detects a game ball that has entered the second big winning hole 25 (see FIG. 6). The opening/closing piece 25a of the second big prize opening 25 is a so-called "special electric accessory".

As shown in FIG. 3, the game board 20 is provided with a passage 26 through which a game ball entering the second big winning hole 25 can pass. The passage 26 is provided so as to branch into a first passage 26 a and a second passage 26 b at a branch portion 27 . The pachinko game machine 10 has a distribution shutter 28. - 特許庁The sorting shutter 28 is provided at the branch portion 27 . The distribution shutter 28 can take a first state and a second state. A game ball entered into the second big winning hole 25 is distributed to the first passage 26a when the distribution shutter 28 takes the first state. A game ball entered into the second big winning hole 25 is distributed to the second passage 26b when the distribution shutter 28 takes the second state. The game board 20 includes a sorting solenoid SL4 as a means for operating the sorting shutter 28 so as to take the first state and the second state (see FIG. 6).

The game board 20 includes a specific detection section SE5 that detects a game ball passing through a specific area within the first passage 26a. In this embodiment, the specific area is a so-called "V area". As an example, when the second big winning hole 25 is opened by causing a small winning game, and the game ball entering the second big winning hole 25 passes through the specific area, the game ball passes through the specific area. A big hit game is generated with the passage as a trigger. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a jackpot game triggered by winning a big win in a winning lottery and a jackpot game triggered by winning a small win in a winning lottery. It is a certain game machine (so-called “one type and two types mixed machine”).

The game board 20 has a gate 29 . The gate 29 is located on the upper right side of the effect display section 15 . The gate 29 is above the second starting port 23 , the first big prize winning port 24 and the second big prize winning port 25 . As an example, the gate 29 is provided so that when a game ball that has passed through the gate 29 enters the second starting port 23, the distance that it flows down is about 40 mm. Here, the flowing distance is the length of the flow path formed by the game parts such as a game nail when the game parts are provided between the gate 29 and the second starting port 23 . That is, the flowing distance is the same as the distance between the gate 29 and the second starting port 23 when no game parts such as game nails are provided between the gate 29 and the second starting port 23 . The gate 29 has a gate opening 29a that is always open so that game balls can be entered. The game board 20 includes a normal detection section SE6 that detects a game ball entering the gate opening 29a and passing through the gate 29 (see FIG. 6). The gate 29 is a ball entrance through which a game ball is entered when establishing the conditions for starting the normal game. The gate 29 is a ball entrance in which the payout condition for prize balls is not satisfied even if a game ball enters. The game board 20 has a game ball that has not entered any of the first starting hole 22, the second starting hole 23, the first big winning hole 24, and the second big winning hole 25 at the bottom of the game area 20a. is provided from the game area 20a.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the player adjusts the shooting intensity of the game ball by operating the shooting handle 18, the left area to the left of the display window 20b, and the right area to the right of the display window 20b. You can hit the game ball separately. For example, when a game ball is shot with a strong launch intensity (hereinafter referred to as a right-hand shot), the game ball is likely to be guided down to the right area. The game ball can enter the second starting hole 23, the first big winning hole 24, the second big winning hole 25, and the gate 29 when flowing down the right area. Right hitting is performed by adjusting the shooting intensity to the maximum intensity or a slightly weaker intensity than the maximum intensity, because it is necessary to shoot the game ball vigorously in order to reach the right area.

On the other hand, when the game ball is shot with the shooting intensity adjusted to be weaker (hereinafter referred to as "left shot"), the game ball is likely to flow down and be guided to the left area. The game ball can enter the first start port 22 when flowing down the left region. Since it is not necessary to shoot the game ball as vigorously as in the case of right-handed hitting, left-handed hitting is performed by adjusting the intensity to such an extent that the fired game ball does not reach the right area. In the pachinko game machine 10, a game ball passage is formed by a game part such as a game nail so that the game ball cannot enter the first start hole 22 when hit to the right. The game part may be arranged so as to restrict the entry of the ball into the first starting hole 22 when hitting to the right, or it is more difficult to enter the ball into the first starting hole 22 than when hitting to the left. may be arranged as As an example, in the pachinko game machine 10, a game part forms a flow path for a game ball so that it passes through the vicinity of the left side of the second start hole 23 when hitting to the right. Therefore, when the game ball flows down the right region, the game ball enters the substantially second starting port 23 when the opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 is in the open state. As an example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the flow path of the game ball is formed by the game parts such that the flow speed of the game ball passing through the gate 29 is approximately 357 mm/s or less and 6.9 mm/s or more. Therefore, the game ball passing through the gate 29 generally flows down in the vicinity of the left side of the second starting port 23 within about 0.112 seconds or less and within 5.8 seconds after passing through the gate 29 .

The left area is an area located on the left side of the center line CL that bisects the game area 20a into left and right when the game board 20 is viewed from the front. The right area is an area located on the right side of the center line CL when the game board 20 is viewed from the front. A game ball shot by operating the shooting handle 18 is guided to an inlet 20c located on the upper left side of the game area 20a and flows into the game area 20a. That is, the left area is also an area near the inlet 20c. The right area is also an area away from the inlet 20c. A game ball flowing down and guided in the left area passes through the left side of the effect display section 15 located in the center of the game area 20a in a front view. After that, the game ball goes to the out port 30 located at the bottom of the game area 20a. A game ball flowing down and guided in the right area passes through the right side of the effect display section 15 positioned in the center of the game area 20a in a front view. After that, the game ball goes to the out port 30. - 特許庁

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of states (hereinafter referred to as ball-entering rate states) in which the ball-entering rate to the second start port 23 is different. The plurality of ball-entering rate states include a low ball-entering rate state and a high ball-entering rate state in which the ball-entering rate to the second starting port 23 is higher than in the low ball-entering rate state. The high ball entry rate state is a state in which the game ball has a high probability of entering the second start hole 23 and the game ball enters the second start hole 23 easily (easy ball entry state). It is advantageous for the player. The high ball entry rate state can also be said to be an electric support state that supports the entry of a ball into the second starting port 23, which is a normal electric accessory.

The high ball entry rate state can be realized by performing one arbitrarily selected control among the three controls described below, or by performing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control that shortens the variation time of the normal game (for example, the average variation time) as compared to when the ball entry rate is low. The first control can be realized by making at least a part of the variation patterns that define the variation time of the normal game different between the low-ball-entering-rate state and the high-ball-entering-rate state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control for varying the probability of winning the normal symbol winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low ball entry rate state.

The third control is open time extension control that makes the total open time (for example, average total open time) of the second starting port 23 in one normal winning game longer than in the low ball entry rate state. The opening time extension control is a control to increase the number of openings of the second starting port 23 in one normal winning game than when the ball is in a low ball rate state, and one opening of the second starting port 23 in the normal winning game. It is at least one of the controls for making the time longer than in the low ball entry rate state. The third control is to change at least a part of the opening patterns in which the opening mode of the second starting port 23 in the normal winning game is determined in the low ball entry rate state and the high ball entry rate state. It can be realized by As an example, the opening pattern defines the number of times the second starting port 23 is opened, the opening time, and the opening timing (closing timing).

As an example, the high ball entry rate state is realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time reduction control that shortens the variation time of the special game (for example, the average variation time) as compared to when the ball entry rate is low. The fourth control can be realized by differentiating at least a part of the variation patterns that define the variation time of the special game between the low-ball-entering-rate state and the high-ball-entering-rate state. Details of the variation pattern will be described later. When performing the variable time shortening control of the special symbol, the high ball rate state becomes the variable time shortened state of the special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "time saving state"), and the low ball rate state is the non-fluctuation time of the special symbol It will be in a shortened state (hereinafter, “non-time-saving state”).

Next, the kind of small hit and the small hit game will be described.
A small winning game is generated according to the type of the small winning. The kind of the small hit is defined by the kind of the small winning design (special design). In other words, the small winning game is generated according to the type of special symbol. In the following description, the winning lottery of special symbols may be simply referred to as a winning lottery for convenience of explanation.

As shown in FIG. 4, the special symbols include a small winning pattern Za corresponding to the first small winning a, a small winning design Zb corresponding to the second small winning b, and a third small winning c. There are a small winning design Zc, a small winning design Zd corresponding to the fourth small winning d, a small winning design Ze corresponding to the fifth small winning e, and a small winning design Zf corresponding to the sixth small winning f. The small winning game includes a small winning game ya triggered by winning the first small winning a in the winning lottery. Further, in the small winning game, there is a small winning game yb triggered by winning the second small winning b in the winning lottery. Further, in the small winning game, there is a small winning game yc triggered by winning the third small winning c in the winning lottery. Further, in the small winning game, there is a small winning game yd triggered by winning the fourth small winning d in the winning lottery. Further, in the small winning game, there is a small winning game ye triggered by winning the fifth small winning e in the winning lottery. Further, in the small winning game, there is a small winning game yf triggered by winning the sixth small winning f in the winning lottery. The small winning symbols Za to Zf each include one type or a plurality of types of special symbols. The first small hit a is an example of the first hit. The first small hit a is an example of a non-specific hit. The second small hit b is an example of a second small win. The second small hit b is an example of a specific hit.

In the small winning games ya to yf, first, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as opening time). For example, the predetermined effect is an opening effect that allows recognition of the start of the small winning game. In the small winning games ya to yf, a round game for opening the second big winning opening 25 is performed once after the opening time has elapsed.

In the small winning game, in the round game, the number condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, the time condition that a predetermined upper limit time elapses, or the occurrence condition that the game ball passes through a specific area is established. Then it will be terminated. The upper limit number and upper limit time are set for each of the small winning games ya to yf. As an example, the upper limit number is 10 for each of the small winning games ya to yf. That is, in the small winning game, the round game ends when the number condition is satisfied by the entry of 10 game balls. As an example, the upper limit time is 4.252 seconds for each of the small winning games ya to yf. In other words, the round game ends when the time condition is satisfied after 4.252 seconds have passed in the small winning game. It should be noted that the upper limit number may vary depending on the type of small winning game. The upper limit time may vary depending on the type of small winning game.

In the small winning game, the second big winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined opening mode (opening pattern) in the round game. As an example, in a small winning game, in a round game, the second big winning opening 25 is opened for 0.028 seconds, then closed for 0.5 seconds, which is repeated eight times, and then opened again for 0.028 seconds. That is, in the small winning game, the second big winning opening 25 is opened nine times in the round game. In the small hit game, the distribution shutter 28 operates in a predetermined distribution mode (distribution pattern) in the round game. As an example, in the small winning game, the distribution shutter 28 takes the second state at the time when the round game is started. After that, the sorting shutter 28 takes the first state when a specific number of game balls enter the second big winning hole 25 in the round game. A specific number is set for each of the small winning games ya to yf. As an example, the specific number is four for each of the small winning games ya to yf. As described above, a game ball entering the second big winning hole 25 can pass through the specific area of the first passage 26a when the sorting shutter 28 takes the first state. That is, in the small winning game, the occurrence condition can be established when a specific number of game balls enter the second big winning hole 25 in the round game. In addition, the specific number may vary depending on the type of small winning game.

In the round game, a predetermined effect (hereinafter referred to as a round effect) is performed. In the small hit game, when the round game ends, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as ending time). For example, the predetermined effect is an ending effect that allows recognition of the end of the small winning game. The small winning game is terminated with the lapse of the ending time. In the small winning game, when the round game ends due to establishment of the occurrence condition, the big winning game is caused after the small winning game ends. In other words, the occurrence condition is a condition that triggers the occurrence of a jackpot game when satisfied. The big hit game caused by satisfying the occurrence condition differs depending on the kind of the small win (small win game).

Next, the types of jackpots and jackpot games will be described.
A big win game is generated according to the kind of big win and the kind of small win. The type of jackpot is defined by the type of jackpot pattern (special pattern). That is, a big hit game is generated according to the type of special symbol.

As shown in FIG. 5, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game A that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the jackpot game ya. In other words, the big win game A is a big win game triggered by winning the first small win a in the winning lottery. In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game B that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the jackpot game yb. In other words, the big win game B is a big win game triggered by winning the second small win b in the winning lottery. In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game C that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the jackpot game yc. In other words, the big win game C is a big win game triggered by winning the third small win c in the winning lottery. In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game D that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the jackpot game yd. That is, the jackpot game D is a jackpot game triggered by winning the fourth small hit d in the winning lottery. In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game E that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the jackpot game ye. In other words, the big win game E is a big win game triggered by winning the fifth small win e in the winning lottery. In addition, the big-hit game includes a big-hit game F that occurs when the occurrence condition is satisfied in the small-hit game yf. In other words, the big win game F includes a big win game F triggered by winning the sixth small win f in the winning lottery.

In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game G triggered by winning the first jackpot O1 in the winning lottery. In addition, the jackpot game includes a jackpot game H triggered by winning the second jackpot O2 in the winning lottery. A big win pattern Z1 corresponds to the first big win O1. A big win pattern Z2 corresponds to the second big win O2. The jackpot symbols Z1 and Z2 each include one type or a plurality of types of special symbols. The first big win O1 is an example of a predetermined win. The jackpot game A is an example of the first winning game. The jackpot game A is an example of a non-specific winning game. The jackpot game B is an example of the second winning game. The jackpot game C is an example of the second winning game. The jackpot games B to E and G are examples of specific winning games.

In the jackpot game, first, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as opening time). For example, the predetermined effect is an opening effect that allows recognition of the start of the jackpot game. In the jackpot game, after the opening time has elapsed, a round game for opening the first big prize winning port 24 is performed up to a predetermined number of times as an upper limit. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game A is five times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game B is six times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game C is 7 times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game D is three times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game E is 10 times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game F is two times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game G is four times. As an example, the upper limit number of round games of the jackpot game H is 10 times. Incidentally, in the jackpot games A to F generated when the occurrence conditions are satisfied in the jackpot games ya to yf, one round game in the jackpot game is included in the upper limit number of times. That is, the number of times of the round game to open the first big winning port 24 of the big hit game A is four times. The number of round games for opening the first big winning hole 24 of the big winning game B is five. The number of round games for opening the first big winning port 24 of the big winning game C is six. The number of round games for opening the first big winning port 24 of the big winning game D is two. The number of round games for opening the first big winning port 24 of the big winning game E is nine times. The number of round games for opening the first big winning port 24 of the big winning game F is one.

In the jackpot game, one round game is terminated when a number condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or a time condition that a predetermined upper limit time elapses is satisfied. As an example, the upper limit number is ten. In other words, one round game ends when the number condition is satisfied by the entry of 10 game balls. As an example, the upper limit time is 25 seconds. That is, one round game ends when the time condition is established after 25 seconds have passed.

In the round game, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in a predetermined opening mode (opening pattern). In the round game, a predetermined effect (hereinafter referred to as a round effect) is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game ends, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as ending time). For example, the predetermined effect is an ending effect that allows recognition of the end of the jackpot game. The jackpot game is terminated when the ending time elapses.

Effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. The effect can be executed by one of the plurality of effecting units constituting the effect executing unit 16 or by causing the plurality of effecting units to cooperate with each other.

The display effect in the effect display unit 15 includes a symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as an effect game) using effect symbols (decorative symbols). The effect display section 15 can display a plurality of symbol rows. Each of the symbol rows includes a plurality of effect symbols, and is also called a reel. The production pattern is a pattern decorated with a character, a pattern, or the like, and is a pattern for diversifying the display production. In the performance game, after the performance symbols are variably displayed in each of the plurality of symbol rows, the performance symbols are stopped and displayed in each of the plurality of symbol rows, thereby stopping the combination of performance symbols (hereinafter referred to as the symbol combination). Is displayed. As an example, the effect game is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the effect symbols of the left symbol row, the middle symbol row, and the right symbol row in a predetermined direction.

The effect game is executed corresponding to the special game. As an example, the effect game starts with the special game and ends with the special game. In the performance game, symbol combinations corresponding to the special symbols that are stopped and displayed in the special game are stopped and displayed. For example, in the production game, when the big win symbols are stopped and displayed in the special game, the big win symbol combination is stopped and displayed. As an example, a jackpot symbol combination is a combination (so-called symbol matching) in which all symbol rows have the same effect symbol, such as [777]. For example, in the performance game, when the small winning symbols are stopped and displayed in the special game, the small winning symbol combination is stopped and displayed. As an example, for the combination of symbols for a small hit, there are combinations such as [777] where all the symbol rows have the same effect symbols, and [787] etc. where all the symbol rows have the same effect symbols. There are some combinations that do not work. In the effect game, when the time saving opportunity pattern is stop-displayed in the special game, the time-saving opportunity pattern combination is stop-displayed. As an example, the pattern combination of the time-saving opportunity is a combination such as [787], in which the production patterns of all the pattern rows are not the same. In the effect game, when the winning symbols are stop-displayed in the special game, the losing pattern combination is stop-displayed. As an example, the lost symbol combination is a combination such as [787] and [468], in which all the symbol rows do not have the same performance symbols. A special game and an effect game executed corresponding to the special game are an example of a variable game.

The production game may include a ready-to-win production. The ready-to-win effect is an effect to form a ready-to-win state and to finally stop and display a predetermined symbol combination. Hereinafter, a state in which a reach is formed may be referred to as a reach state. A ready-to-win state is a state before a big winning combination of symbols is formed (so-called Tenpai). For example, as for reach, such as [7 ↓ 7], production patterns are variably displayed in a specific pattern row (for example, medium pattern row), and a plurality of pattern rows different from the specific pattern row (Hereinafter referred to as a ready-to-win formation row, for example, left and right symbol rows), the same effect symbols are stopped and displayed. The reach production includes normal reach production (hereinafter referred to as N reach production) and super reach, which has a high expectation of hitting the jackpot in this production game (hereinafter referred to as jackpot expectation) compared to the N reach production. There is a production (hereinafter referred to as SP reach production).

Next, various processes performed by the main control CPU 81 of the main substrate 80 will be described.
Special input processing will be described.
The main control CPU 81 executes a special input process as one of the timer interrupt processes performed every predetermined control period (for example, 4 ms). In the special input process, the main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the game ball has entered the first start hole 22 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first start detection section SE1. When the game ball enters the first starting port 22, the main control CPU81 determines whether or not the first special reservation number stored in the main control RWM83 is less than the upper limit number. When the first special reservation number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU81 adds 1 to the first special reservation number and updates it. The main control CPU 81 controls the first special reservation display section 19c so as to display information that can specify the updated first special reservation number. That is, the reservation condition of the first special game is established when the game ball is detected by the first start detection unit SE1 when the first special reservation number is less than the upper limit number.

Next, the main control CPU 81 acquires a random number generated by the random number generation circuit 84, and causes the main control RWM 83 to store first random number information based on the acquired random number. For example, the random number is a winning random number used for a special symbol winning lottery, a symbol random number used for determining a winning symbol or the like, and a variation pattern random number used for determining a variation pattern. The first random number information is stored so as to be able to specify that it is information for the first special game and its storage order. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. By storing the first random number information in the main control RWM 83, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can suspend the execution of the first special game until the condition for starting the first special game is satisfied.

When the main control CPU81 stores the first random number information in the main control RWM83, when the game ball has not entered the first start port 22, and when the first special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number, It is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the second start port 23 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the second start detection section SE2. When the game ball has entered the second start hole 23, the main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the conditions for executing the second special game are satisfied. The main control CPU 81 determines that the conditions for executing the second special game are satisfied when the big win game is not being played and the second special game is not being executed.

When the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 81 acquires the random number generated in the main board 80, and stores the second random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RWM 83. . The second random number information is stored so as to be identifiable as the information used for the second special game. When the second random number information is stored in the main control RWM 83, a second special game process is performed. The second special game process will be described later. When the game ball has not entered the second start hole 23 and when the conditions for executing the second special game are not satisfied, the main control CPU 81 terminates the special input process.

Special start processing will be described.
The main control CPU 81 executes a special start process as one of timer interrupt processes. The main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the conditions for starting the first special game are satisfied. The main control CPU 81 determines that the conditions for starting the first special game are satisfied when the big win game is not being played and the first special game is not being executed. On the other hand, the main control CPU 81 determines that the condition for starting the special game is not established when the big win game is being played or the first special game is being executed. If the conditions for starting the first special game are not satisfied, the main control CPU 81 ends the first special start process. When the condition for starting the first special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the first special reservation number is greater than zero. If the first special reservation number is zero, the main control CPU81 ends the special start process.

When the first special reservation number is greater than zero, the main control CPU 81 performs a first special game process. Specifically, the main control CPU 81 subtracts 1 from the first special reservation number and updates it. The main control CPU 81 controls the first special reservation display section 19c so as to display information that can specify the first special reservation number after subtraction. Next, the main control CPU81 acquires the information stored first among the first random number information from the main control RWM83. The main control CPU 81 uses a winning random number specified from the obtained first random number information to perform a big winning lottery (big winning determination) as a special symbol winning lottery to determine whether or not to win a big winning. The main control CPU 81 performs a jackpot lottery with a jackpot probability according to the current probability state.

When a big hit is won, the main control CPU 81 performs a big hit variation process. In the jackpot variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a first pattern lottery using a pattern random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines the jackpot pattern of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the first special game. As an example, the special symbol jackpot symbol that can be stopped and displayed in the first special game is the jackpot symbol Z1. If there is only one type of special symbols that can be stop-displayed in the first special game, the jackpot symbol Z1 may be determined without performing the first symbol lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of big hit variation patterns. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the first special game process and the special start process.

When the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 81 uses the hit random number specified from the acquired first random number information to determine whether or not to control to the time saving state. As an example, the main control CPU 81 performs rush determination so as to control the time saving state with a predetermined rush probability. When the rush determination is affirmative determination, the main control CPU 81 performs time saving opportunity variation processing. In the time saving opportunity variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a second symbol lottery using a symbol random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines the time saving opportunity symbol of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the first special game. In addition, when there is only one kind of time-saving opportunity symbol of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the first special game, the configuration may be such that the time-saving opportunity symbol is determined without performing the second symbol lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns of the time saving opportunity. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the first special game process and the special start process.

If the rush determination is a negative determination, the main control CPU 81 performs a deviation variation process. In the losing variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a third symbol lottery using a symbol random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines the winning symbols of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the first special game. In addition, when there is only one type of missing symbol, the configuration may be such that the missing symbol is determined without performing the third symbol lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the first random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among multiple variation patterns with reach or without reach. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the first special game process and the special start process.

The second special game processing will be explained. The main control CPU81 acquires the second random number information from the main control RWM83. The main control CPU 81 uses a winning random number specified from the acquired second random number information to perform a big winning lottery (big winning determination) as a special symbol winning lottery to determine whether or not to win a big winning. The main control CPU 81 performs a jackpot lottery with a jackpot probability according to the current probability state.

When a big hit is won, the main control CPU 81 performs a big hit variation process. In the jackpot variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a fourth pattern lottery using a pattern random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines the jackpot pattern of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the second special game. As an example, the big-hit symbol of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the second special game is the big-hit symbol Z2. If there is only one type of special symbols that can be stop-displayed in the second special game, the jackpot symbol Z2 may be determined without performing the fourth symbol lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of big hit variation patterns. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the second special game process.

If the main control CPU 81 does not win the big hit, the main control CPU 81 uses the winning random number specified from the acquired second random number information to determine whether or not to win the small win as a special symbol winning lottery (small winning lottery). hit judgment). The main control CPU 81 performs a small-hit lottery with a predetermined small-hit probability.

When a small hit is won, the main control CPU 81 performs a small hit variation process. In the small hit variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a fifth symbol lottery using a symbol random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines the special symbol small winning symbol to be stopped and displayed in the second special game. As an example, the main control CPU 81 determines the small winning symbols of the special symbols so that the selection ratios of the small winning symbols Za to Zf are the same or substantially the same. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of small hit variation patterns. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the second special game process.

If the small hit is not won, the main control CPU 81 uses the hit random number specified from the acquired second random number information to determine whether or not to control to the time saving state. As an example, the main control CPU 81 performs rush determination so as to control the time saving state with a predetermined rush probability. As an example, the rush probability is the same between the first special game process and the second special game process. If the rush determination is a positive determination, the main control CPU 81 performs time saving opportunity variation processing. In the time saving opportunity variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a sixth symbol lottery using a symbol random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines the time saving opportunity symbol of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the second special game. In addition, when there is only one type of time saving opportunity pattern, it may be configured to determine the time saving opportunity pattern without performing the sixth pattern lottery. As an example, the time saving opportunity symbol that can be determined is the same in the first special game process and the second special game process. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns of the time saving opportunity. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the second special game process.

If the rush determination is a negative determination, the main control CPU 81 performs a deviation variation process. In the losing variation process, the main control CPU 81 performs a seventh symbol lottery using a symbol random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines the winning symbol of the special symbols to be stopped and displayed in the second special game. In addition, when there is only one type of missing symbol, the configuration may be such that the missing symbol is determined without performing the seventh symbol lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the second random number information, and determines a variation pattern from among multiple variation patterns with or without reach. After that, the main control CPU 81 ends the second special game process.

The main control CPU 81 outputs a variation start command and a special symbol command to the sub board 90 in the big hit variation processing, the small hit variation processing, the time saving opportunity variation processing, and the losing variation processing. The variation start command is a control command that can specify the variation pattern determined in each variation process and the start of the variation game. The special design command is a control command that can specify the special design (big hit design, small hit design, time saving opportunity design or lost design) determined in each variation process. Note that the variation start command and the special symbol command are different control commands when the variation processing of the first special game is performed and when the variation processing of the second special game is performed.

Thus, in the first special game process, the first big win O1 can be won in the winning lottery.

Small hit game processing will be described.
The small-hit game process is a process for causing a small-hit game. The main control CPU 81 initiates a small-hit game after the special game in which the small-hit symbols are stop-displayed. As an example, the main control CPU 81 causes a small winning game by operating the opening/closing piece 25a of the second big winning hole 25 according to a predetermined operation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 81 specifies the type of the small-hit game based on the small-hit symbols (kind of the small-hit) determined in the first special game process and the second special game process.

After the start of the round game, the main control CPU 81 determines whether the number of game balls detected by the second special detection unit SE4 reaches the upper limit number, whether the game balls are detected by the specific detection unit SE5, or when the upper limit time of the round game is reached. When the time elapses, the second special solenoid SL3 is controlled so as to close the second big winning hole 25. - 特許庁That is, the main control CPU 81 terminates the round game. When the round game ends, the main control CPU 81 outputs to the sub-board 90 a control command (hereinafter referred to as a small-hit ending command) capable of specifying the start of the ending time of the small-hit game. The main control CPU 81 ends the small winning game when the ending time has passed.

The jackpot game processing will be described.
The jackpot game process is a process for generating a jackpot game. The main control CPU 81 generates a big win game after the end of the special game in which the big win symbols are stop-displayed, or after the end of the small win game in which the round game ends due to the fulfillment of the occurrence condition. As an example, the main control CPU 81 causes a big win game by operating the opening/closing piece 24a of the first big winning hole 24 according to a predetermined operation pattern. Specifically, when the main control CPU 81 causes a jackpot game after the end of the special game in which the jackpot patterns are stopped and displayed, the main control CPU 81 determines the jackpot pattern (type of jackpot) determined in the first special game process and the second special game process. ) to identify the type of jackpot game. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 81 causes a big win game after the end of the small win game in which the round game ends due to the establishment of the occurrence condition, the small win determined in the first special game process and the second special game process Based on the pattern (type of small win), the type of big win game is specified. The main control CPU 81 generates a jackpot game of the specified type.

That is, the main control CPU 81 terminates the round game. The main control CPU 81 repeats the process of executing such a round game until the upper limit number of round games set for the big hit game is completed. The main control CPU 81 outputs a control command (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot round command) capable of specifying the start of the jackpot game round game to the sub board 90 each time the jackpot game round game is started. When the final round game ends, the main control CPU 81 outputs to the sub-board 90 a control command (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time of the jackpot game. The main control CPU 81 ends the big hit game when the ending time elapses. The main control CPU 81 is an example of generating means for generating a winning game.

Normal input processing will be explained.
The main control CPU 81 executes normal input processing as one of timer interrupt processing. When the detection signal is input from the normal detection unit SE6, the main control CPU81 determines whether or not the normal pending number stored in the main control RWM83 is less than the upper limit number. If the normal pending number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 81 terminates the normal input process. When the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 81 adds 1 to the number of normal reservations and updates it. Next, the main control CPU 81 acquires a random number generated by the random number generation circuit 84, and causes the main control RWM 83 to store normal random number information based on the acquired random number. For example, the random number is a normal hit random number used for normal design hit determination. After that, the main control CPU 81 terminates the normal input process.

The normal start processing will be explained.
The main control CPU 81 executes normal start processing as one of timer interrupt processing. The main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the conditions for starting the normal game are met. The main control CPU 81 makes an affirmative determination when the normal winning game is not being executed and the normal game is not being executed, while making a negative determination when the normal winning game is being executed or the normal game is being executed. If the normal game start condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 81 ends the normal start process. When the normal game start condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 81 determines whether or not the normal pending number is greater than zero. If the normal pending number is zero, the main control CPU81 ends the normal start process.

If the normal reservation number is not zero, the main control CPU 81 subtracts 1 from the normal reservation number and updates it. The main control CPU 81 controls the normal pending display section 19e so as to display information that can specify the normal pending number after the subtraction. The main control CPU 81 acquires from the main control RWM 83 the information stored first among the normal random number information. The main control CPU 81 uses a normal winning random number specified from the acquired normal random number information, and performs a normal winning lottery (normal winning determination) as a normal symbol winning lottery to determine whether or not to win a normal winning lottery. The main control CPU 81 performs a normal winning lottery with a normal winning probability according to the current gaming state. As an example, the normal hit probability when the current gaming state is a non-time saving state is zero. As an example, the normal hit probability when the current gaming state is the time saving state is 1 (100%).

The main control CPU 81 determines a variation pattern for normal symbols in which the variation time of the normal game is determined. When the main control CPU 81 is in a non-time saving state, it determines a variation pattern in which the first variation time is determined. On the other hand, in the case of the time saving state, a variation pattern in which a second variation time shorter than the first variation time is determined is determined. As an example, the first variation time is 5 seconds. As an example, the second variation time is 0.1 seconds. Due to the determination mode of the variation pattern according to the gaming state, the variation time of the normal game is shortened during the time saving state. The main control CPU 81 causes the normal symbol display section 19d to start the normal game. The main control CPU 81 stops displaying the normal winning pattern when the normal winning is won at the lapse of the variation time determined in the normal symbol variation pattern, and stops displaying the losing symbol when the normal winning is not won. Let

Normal per game processing will be explained.
When a normal winning game is won, the main control CPU 81 causes the opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 to operate according to a predetermined operation pattern after the normal game ends, thereby generating a normal winning game. As an example, the main control CPU 81 normally controls the solenoid SL1 so as to have an open pattern of opening for the opening time and then closing for the closing time. As an example, the open time is 5.8 seconds. As an example, the closing time is 0.008 seconds. That is, in the pachinko machine 10, when the time saving state is set, the second fluctuation time (0.1 seconds) and the closing time (0 0.008 seconds) and the normal stop time (0.004 seconds), which is 0.112 seconds. As described above, the game ball passing through the gate 29 flows down near the left side of the second starting port 23 within about 0.112 seconds or more and 5.8 seconds after passing through the gate 29 . Therefore, in the time-saving state, when the game ball passing through the gate 29 does not enter the first big winning hole 24, it enters the substantially second starting hole 23.例文帳に追加Also, in the time-saving state, when the game ball flowing down the right area does not enter the first big winning hole 24, it enters the substantially second starting hole 23.例文帳に追加In addition, the main control CPU 81 ends the normal winning game when it is controlled from the time saving state to the non-time saving state while the normal winning game is occurring.

In this way, in the non-time-saving state, the game ball does not enter the second start port 23 or the game ball does not enter the second start port 23 because the normal hit is not won. For this reason, it is recommended to play the game with a left hand in the non-time saving state. On the other hand, in the time-saving state, the game ball is likely to enter the second starting port 23 because the normal hit is always won. Therefore, in the time-saving state, it is recommended to play the game with a right-handed stroke so as to enter the game ball into the second starting port 23 .

Various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 91 of the sub-board 90 will be described.
The sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect executing section 16 so as to execute a predetermined effect and a predetermined notification based on various control commands input from the main board 80 .

A description will be given of the jackpot effect processing.
The big-hit effect processing is a process for executing an effect (hereinafter referred to as a big-hit effect) during the big-hit game. When the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect executing section 16 so as to execute the opening effect. When a round command is input, the sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect executing section 16 so as to execute a round effect. When the ending start command is input, the sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect executing section 16 so as to execute the ending effect. When the sub-control CPU 91 inputs the ending end command, it controls the effect executing section 16 so as to end the ending effect.

The effect game processing will be described.
The effect game process is a process of executing an effect game corresponding to the special game during execution of the special game. When the sub-control CPU 91 inputs the variation start command and the special symbol command, it controls the effect execution unit 16 including the effect display unit 15 so as to execute the effect game. Specifically, when a variation start command is input, the sub-control CPU 91 selects an effect pattern (effect content) of the effect game based on a change pattern that can be specified from the command.

When a special symbol command is input, the sub-control CPU 91 determines a symbol combination to be stopped and displayed in the effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the command. That is, the sub-control CPU 91 determines a combination of symbols for a big hit when the big-hit symbols can be specified. The sub-control CPU 91 determines the winning symbol combination when the missing symbols can be specified. The sub-control CPU 91 determines a symbol combination so as to include a reach when a predetermined reach condition is satisfied. The reach condition is preferably established by determining a fluctuation pattern with reach. The reach condition is not limited to this, and in addition to the determination of the fluctuation pattern with reach, a lottery using a predetermined random number may be performed to determine that the lottery has been won.

The sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect display section 15 so as to start the variable display of the effect symbols in each symbol row with the input of the variation start command as a trigger. That is, the sub-control CPU 91 starts the effect game. The sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect execution unit 16 including the effect display unit 15 so as to execute the advance notice effect when executing the notice effect during execution of the variable game. When the ready-to-win condition is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 91 stops and displays the effect symbols in the ready-to-win formation row when a predetermined timing arrives, and controls the effect display section 15 to form the ready-to-win. The sub-control CPU 91 controls the effect display section 15 so as to execute the ready-to-win effect specified by the variation pattern. When a predetermined timing arrives, the sub-control CPU 91 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination, and also stops and confirms the symbol combination upon input of the variation end command. It should be noted that the sub-control CPU 91 may determine and stop display the symbol combination upon passage of the variation time determined in the variation pattern regardless of the variation end command. In this case, the variable end command may be omitted.

The transition of the game state will be explained.

In addition, when the big hit game is started, the main control CPU 81 controls to a non-time saving state regardless of which game state is controlled. In other words, the game state during the jackpot game becomes a non-time-saving state.

Thus, in the present embodiment, the time saving state ends when the number of stop display times of the small winning symbols corresponding to each time saving state reaches the specified number of times (first to sixth times). On the other hand, a small winning pattern that does not correspond to each time saving state (a non-corresponding small winning pattern) does not satisfy the end condition of the time saving state until the upper limit end count is reached.

As an example, the third time saving state corresponds to the small winning symbols Zc and Zf. As an example, the fourth time saving state corresponds to the small winning symbols Zd and Zf. As an example, the small hit design Zc corresponds to the fifth time saving state. As an example, a small hit symbol Ze corresponds to the sixth time saving state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the condition for ending each time saving state includes that the number of executions of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times of execution. Therefore, when the number of times of stop display of the small winning symbols not corresponding to each time saving state reaches the upper limit number of times of finishing, the number of executions of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times of finishing. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is not terminated by the number of times of stop display of the small winning symbols that do not correspond to each time saving state. In the present embodiment, in order for the number of executions of the special game in each time saving state to reach the upper limit number of times of finishing, the number of times of stop display of the small winning symbol corresponding to each time saving state is to be executed before the special game of the upper limit number of times of finishing is executed. A predetermined number of times must not be reached. For this reason, the first to sixth times is 1 time, and the upper limit number of times (first to fourth end times) is 100 times, the number of times the special game is executed in each time saving state is the upper limit number of times to end The probability of reaching (first end count to fourth end count) is extremely low (zero). That is, in the present embodiment, the end condition of each time-saving state is not substantially satisfied when the number of executions of the special game reaches the upper limit number of times of execution. In addition, the probability that the number of times the special game is executed in each time-saving state reaches the upper limit number of times (first to fourth finish times) is the first to fourth times, the upper limit number of times (first to fourth End times), and varies depending on the ratio of each small hit pattern.

Then, as described above, in the time-saving state, the game ball flowing down the right area enters the substantially second starting hole 23 when it does not enter the first big winning hole 24 . Therefore, in the time-saving state, when the second big winning hole 25 is opened by the occurrence of the small winning game, the game ball hardly enters the second big winning hole 25.例文帳に追加That is, the big-hit game based on the small-hit symbol that does not correspond to each time-saving state is not substantially generated. The opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting opening 23 that prevents the game ball from entering the second big winning opening 25 is an example of occurrence prevention means that prevents the occurrence condition from being satisfied. As described above, the small winning patterns Za to Zf correspond to the small winnings a to f, respectively. Therefore, in the time saving state, it is controlled to a non-time saving state triggered by winning a small hit corresponding to each time saving state in the winning lottery. And, in the non-time saving state, the game ball does not enter the second starting port 23, or the game ball does not easily enter the second starting port 23, so that the occurrence condition can be established in the small winning game. That is, the opening/closing piece 23a of the 2nd starting port 23 permits that an occurrence condition is satisfy|filled, when it is controlled by the non-time-saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, a jackpot game can be triggered by winning a small prize corresponding to each time-saving state in the winning lottery, while winning a small prize not corresponding to each time-saving state in the winning lottery is possible. As an opportunity, a jackpot game is not almost generated. A detailed description will be given below.

As shown in FIG. 9, when it is controlled to the first time saving state, the big winning games A and F based on the small winning symbols Za and Zf corresponding to the first time saving state can be generated. On the other hand, when controlled to the first time saving state, the big winning games BE based on the small winning symbols Zb to Ze not corresponding to the first time saving state are not generated in the winning lottery. As described above, the selection ratios of the small winning symbols Za to Zf are the same or substantially the same. In addition, the end condition of the first time saving state is when the number of times of display of the small hit pattern Za reaches the first number of times (1 time), and the number of times of display of the small win pattern Zf reaches the first end number of times (1 time) It is established when That is, the big win game B is generated when the small win symbol Zb is displayed for the first number of times before the small win symbol Zf is displayed for the first end number of times. On the other hand, when the small winning pattern Zf is displayed for the first end times before the small winning pattern Zb is displayed for the first number of times, the big winning game F is generated. Therefore, when the first number of times is one time and the first end number of times is one time, the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the big win game A based on the small win symbol Za when controlled to the first time saving state is about one-half. On the other hand, when the first number of times is one time and the first end number of times is one time, the degree of expectation that the big winning game F based on the small winning symbol Zf when controlled to the first time saving state is generated is about 1/2. That is, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state is the second small in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning b is won. In addition, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state is the third small in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning c is won. In addition, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state is the fourth small in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning d is won. In addition, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state is the fifth small in the winning lottery when controlled to the first time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning e is won.

When controlled to the second time saving state, the big winning games B and F based on the small winning symbols Zb and Zf corresponding to the second time saving state can be generated. On the other hand, when controlled to the second time saving state, the big winning games A, C to E based on the small winning symbols Za, Zc to Ze not corresponding to the second time saving state are not generated. As described above, the condition for ending the second time saving state is when the number of times the small winning design Zb is displayed reaches the second number (once), and when the number of times the small winning design Zf is displayed is the second end number (two times ) is reached. That is, the big win game B is generated when the small win symbol Zb is displayed for the second number of times before the small win symbol Zf is displayed for the second end number of times. On the other hand, when the small winning pattern Zf is displayed for the second ending number of times before the small winning pattern Zb is displayed for the second number of times, the big winning game F is generated. Therefore, when the second number of times is one time and the second end number of times is two times, the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the big win game B based on the small win symbol Zb when controlled to the second time saving state is about three quarters. On the other hand, when the second number of times is 1 time and the second end number of times is 2 times, the expectation that the big win game F based on the small win symbol Zf when controlled to the second time saving state is generated is about 1/4.

In addition, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the second small hit b in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state is the fifth small in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning e is won. In addition, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the second small hit b in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state is the sixth small in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning f is won.

When it is controlled to the third time saving state, the big winning games C, F based on the small winning symbols Zc, Zf corresponding to the third time saving state can be generated. On the other hand, when controlled to the third time saving state, the big winning games A, B, D and E based on the small winning symbols Za, Zb, Zd and Ze not corresponding to the third time saving state are not generated. As described above, the conditions for ending the third time-saving state are when the number of times the small winning design Zc is displayed reaches the third number (once), and when the number of times the small winning design Zf is displayed reaches the third end number (three times ) is reached. That is, the big win game C is generated when the small win symbol Zc is displayed for the third number of times before the small win symbol Zf is displayed for the third end number of times. On the other hand, when the small winning pattern Zf is displayed for the third ending number of times before the small winning pattern Zc is displayed for the third number of times, the big winning game F is generated. Therefore, when the third number of times is one time and the third end number of times is three times, the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the big win game C based on the small win symbol Zc when controlled to the third time saving state is It is about 7/8. On the other hand, when the third number of times is one time and the third end number of times is three times, the expectation that the big winning game F based on the small winning symbol Zf when controlled to the third time saving state is generated is about One eighth. That is, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the third small hit c in the winning lottery when controlled to the third time saving state is the first small in the winning lottery when controlled to the third time saving state It is higher than the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning a is won.

That is, the big win game D is generated when the small win symbol Zd is displayed for the fourth number of times before the small win symbol Zf is displayed for the fourth end number of times. On the other hand, when the small winning pattern Zf is displayed for the fourth end times before the small winning pattern Zd is displayed for the fourth time, the big winning game F is generated. Therefore, when the fourth number of times is 1 and the fourth end number of times is 4, the degree of expectation for occurrence of the big win game D based on the small win symbol Zd when controlled to the fourth time saving state is It is about 15/16. On the other hand, when the fourth number of times is 1 and the fourth end number of times is 4, the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the big win game F based on the small win symbol Zf when controlled to the fourth time saving state is about 1 in 16.

The transition of the game state will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 10, when the power supply is started, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to a non-time saving state. As described above, in the non-time-saving state in which left-handed hitting is recommended, the game ball can enter the first starting port 22 when left-handed, but the game ball does not enter the second starting port 23. Therefore, in the non-time-saving state, while the first big win O1 can be won in the winning lottery, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 are not won in the winning lottery. When a big winning game G is generated by winning a first big winning O1 in a winning lottery under control in a non-time-saving state, it is controlled to a first time-saving state after the big winning game G ends.

As described above, in the first time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, while the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the first time-saving state, the player can win the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 in the winning lottery, but does not win the first big win O1 in the winning lottery. And, as described above, in the first time saving state, while the big winning games A and F based on the small winning patterns Za and Zf corresponding to the first time saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns not corresponding to the first time saving state Jackpot games B to E based on Zb to Ze are almost never generated. That is, in the first time-saving state, while the big winning games A, F, and H can occur, the big winning games B to E and G do not occur. When the big win game A is generated by winning the first small win a in the winning lottery under control in the first time saving state, after the big win game A is finished, the second time saving state is controlled. be. More specifically, when the big hit game A is triggered when the occurrence condition is satisfied when the first small win a is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the first time saving state, After the jackpot game A is finished, it is controlled to the second time saving state. When the big win game H is generated by winning the second big win O2 in the winning lottery under the control of the first time saving state, after the big win game H is finished, the fourth time saving state is controlled. . When the jackpot game F is triggered by winning the sixth small prize f in the winning lottery under control in the first time-saving state, it is controlled to the non-time-saving state after the jackpot game F ends. . More specifically, when the jackpot game F is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the sixth small win f is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the first time saving state, After the jackpot game F is finished, it is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

As described above, in the second time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, while the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the second time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the second time saving state, while the big winning games B and F based on the small winning patterns Zb and Zf corresponding to the second time saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns not corresponding to the second time saving state Jackpot games A, C to E based on Za, Zc to Ze are almost never generated. That is, in the second time-saving state, while the big winning games B, F, and H can occur, the big winning games A, C to E, and G do not occur. When the big win game B is triggered by winning the second small win b in the winning lottery under control in the second time saving state, after the big win game B is finished, the third time saving state is controlled. be. More specifically, when the big hit game B is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when winning the second small win b in the winning lottery when it is controlled to the second time saving state, After the jackpot game B is finished, it is controlled to the third time saving state. When the big win game H is generated by winning the second big win O2 in the winning lottery under the control to the second time saving state, after the big win game H is finished, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state. . When the jackpot game F is triggered by winning the sixth small prize f in the winning lottery under control in the second time saving state, the jackpot game F is controlled to the non-time saving state after the end of the jackpot game F. . More specifically, when the jackpot game F is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the sixth small win f is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled to the second time saving state, After the jackpot game F is finished, it is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

As described above, in the third time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, but the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the third time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the third time saving state, while the big winning games C and F based on the small winning patterns Zc and Zf corresponding to the third time saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns not corresponding to the third time saving state Jackpot games A, B, D and E based on Za, Zb, Zd and Ze are almost never generated. That is, in the third time-saving state, while the jackpot games C, F, and H can be generated, the jackpot games A, B, D, E, and G are not generated. When the big win game C is triggered by winning the third small win c in the winning lottery under control in the third time saving state, the fourth time saving state is controlled after the big win game C ends. be. More specifically, when the big hit game C is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when winning the third small win c in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the third time saving state, After the jackpot game C is finished, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state. When the big win game H is generated by winning the second big win O2 in the winning lottery under control in the third time saving state, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state after the big win game H ends. . When the jackpot game F is triggered by winning the sixth small prize f in the winning lottery under the control to the third time saving state, it is controlled to the non-time saving state after the jackpot game F ends. . More specifically, when the jackpot game F is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when winning the sixth small win f in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the third time saving state, After the jackpot game F is finished, it is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

As described above, in the fourth time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, but the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the fourth time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the fourth time saving state, while the big winning games D and F based on the small winning patterns Zd and Zf corresponding to the fourth time saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns not corresponding to the fourth time saving state Jackpot games A to C and E based on Za to Zc and Ze are almost never generated. That is, in the fourth time-saving state, while the jackpot games D, F, and H can be generated, the jackpot games A to C, E, and G are not generated. When the jackpot game D is triggered by winning the fourth small win d in the winning lottery under control in the fourth time saving state, after the jackpot game D ends, the control is performed in the fifth time saving state. be. More specifically, when the big hit game D is triggered when the occurrence condition is satisfied when the fourth small win d is won in the winning lottery when the fourth time saving state is controlled, After the jackpot game D is finished, it is controlled to the fifth time saving state. When the big win game H is generated by winning the second big win O2 in the winning lottery under control in the fourth time saving state, after the big win game H is finished, the fourth time saving state is controlled. . When the jackpot game F is triggered by winning the sixth small prize f in the winning lottery under the control to the fourth time saving state, it is controlled to the non-time saving state after the jackpot game F ends. . More specifically, when the jackpot game F is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the sixth small win f is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the fourth time-saving state, After the jackpot game F is finished, it is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

As described above, in the fifth time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, but the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the fifth time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the fifth time-saving state, while the jackpot game C based on the small winning pattern Zc corresponding to the fifth time-saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns Za, Zb, non-corresponding to the fifth time-saving state Jackpot games A, B, and D to F based on Zd to Zf are almost never generated. That is, in the fifth time-saving state, while the big winning games C and H can occur, the big winning games A, B, and D to G do not occur. When the jackpot game C is triggered by winning the third small win c in the winning lottery under control in the fifth time saving state, the fourth time saving state is controlled after the big win game C ends. be. More specifically, when the big hit game C is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the third small win c is won in the winning lottery when the fifth time saving state is controlled, After the jackpot game C is finished, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state. When the jackpot game H is generated by winning the second jackpot O2 in the winning lottery under control in the fifth time saving state, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state after the jackpot game H ends. .

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the big win and the small win are not won in the winning lottery, the time-saving opportunity symbol can be stopped and displayed in the special game. Then, when the time saving opportunity symbol is stop-displayed in the special game, it is controlled to the sixth time saving state after the end of the special game. As described above, in the sixth time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, but the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the sixth time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the sixth time-saving state, while the jackpot game E based on the small winning pattern Ze corresponding to the sixth time-saving state can be generated, the small winning patterns Za to Zd, which do not correspond to the sixth time-saving state, Jackpot games A to D and F based on Zf are almost never generated. That is, in the sixth time-saving state, while the big winning games E and H can occur, the big winning games A to D, F and G do not occur. When the jackpot game E is triggered by winning the fifth small win e in the winning lottery under control in the sixth time saving state, after the jackpot game E ends, the fourth time saving state is controlled. be. More specifically, when the jackpot game E is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence conditions when the fifth small win e is won in the winning lottery when the sixth time-saving state is controlled, After the jackpot game E is finished, it is controlled to the fourth time saving state. When the jackpot game H is triggered by winning the second jackpot O2 in the winning lottery under the sixth time saving state, the fourth time saving state is controlled after the jackpot game H ends. .

Next, the game state when the first small hit a is won in the first time saving state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, at time T00, it is assumed that the first time saving state is controlled. In the time saving T01, it is assumed that the first small winning a of the first number of times is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled to the first time saving state. When the first minor win a is won in the winning lottery under the control to the first time-saving state, it is controlled to the non-time-saving state by satisfying the termination condition of the first time-saving state. In the non-time-saving state, the game ball is likely to enter the second big winning hole 25 during the occurrence of the first small hit a. Therefore, in the first time saving state, when the player continuously shoots the game ball during the occurrence of the first minor hit a, the occurrence condition is satisfied or substantially satisfied. After that, the big win game A is caused when the occurrence condition is satisfied during the occurrence of the first small win a.

Next, the game state when the first small hit a is won in the second time saving state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 12, at time T10, it is assumed that the second time saving state is set. In time saving T11, when it is controlled in the second time saving state, it is assumed that the first small hit a of the first number of times is won in the winning lottery. When the first minor win a is won in the winning lottery under control in the second time-saving state, the end condition of the second time-saving state is not satisfied. Therefore, when the first minor win a is won in the winning lottery in the case of being controlled to the second time saving state, it is continuously controlled to the second time saving state. In the second time-saving state, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 25 during the occurrence of the first small hit a. Therefore, in the second time-saving state, when the player continuously shoots the game ball during the occurrence of the first small win a, the occurrence condition is not satisfied, or the occurrence condition is not substantially satisfied. In other words, when the first minor win a is won in the winning lottery under control in the second time-saving state, the big win game A is not generated or the big win game A is not substantially generated.

In this way, the big win game A is triggered by satisfying the occurrence condition when the first minor win a is won in the winning lottery. The big winning game A is not generated when the generation condition is not satisfied when the first minor winning a is won in the winning lottery.

Next, the game state when the second small hit b is won in the first time saving state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, suppose that it is controlled to the 1st time saving state in the time T20. In time saving T21, when it is controlled to the first time saving state, it is assumed that the second small hit b of the second time is won in the winning lottery. When the second minor win b is won in the winning lottery in the second time under control in the first time saving state, the end condition of the first time saving state is not satisfied. Therefore, when the second small winning b of the second time is won in the winning lottery while being controlled to the first time saving state, it is continuously controlled to the first time saving state. In the first time-saving state, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 25 during the occurrence of the second small hit b. Therefore, in the first time-saving state, when the player continuously shoots the game ball during the occurrence of the second small win b, the occurrence condition is not satisfied, or the occurrence condition is not substantially satisfied. In other words, when the second small winning b is won in the winning lottery under the control in the first time-saving state, the big winning game B is not generated or the big winning game B is not substantially generated.

Next, the game state when the second small hit b is won in the second time saving state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 14, at time T30, it is assumed that the first time saving state is controlled. In time saving T31, when it is controlled to the second time saving state, it is assumed that the second small hit b of the second time is won in the winning lottery. When the second minor win b is won in the winning lottery under control to the second time saving state, the conditions for ending the second time saving state are satisfied, whereby the non-time saving state is controlled. In the non-time-saving state, the game ball is likely to enter the second big winning hole 25 during the occurrence of the second small hit b. Therefore, in the second time-saving state, when the player continuously shoots the game ball during the occurrence of the second small win b, the occurrence condition is satisfied or substantially satisfied. After that, the big win game B is caused when the occurrence condition is satisfied during the occurrence of the second small win b.

In this way, the big win game B is triggered when the occurrence condition is satisfied when the second minor win b is won in the winning lottery. The big winning game B is not generated when the generation condition is not satisfied when the second small winning b is won in the winning lottery.

Effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1-1) When it is controlled to the first time saving state or the second time saving state, depending on which game state is controlled, the degree of expectation for the occurrence of the big hit game B is different. Therefore, it is possible to provide different game properties in the first time saving state and the second time saving state. Thereby, improvement of interest can be aimed at.

(1-2) Even when it is controlled to the first time saving state, if the opening and closing piece 23a of the second start port 23 does not prevent the occurrence condition from being satisfied, the big hit game B can occur. For this reason, even when it is controlled to the 1st time saving state, it can be made to expect that the big-hit game B will arise.

(1-3) When the jackpot game A is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the first small hit a is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled to the first time saving state, the jackpot game After the end of A, it is controlled to the second time saving state. For this reason, even when it is controlled to the first time saving state, it can be expected to be controlled to the second time saving state after that.

(1-4) non-time saving state, first time saving state, second time saving state . . . As a result, the process of changing the game state step by step can be enjoyed.
(1-5) When it is controlled to the first time saving state or the second time saving state, depending on which game state is controlled, which of the big hit game A and the big hit game B is likely to occur differs. Therefore, it is possible to provide different game properties in the first time saving state and the second time saving state. Thereby, improvement of interest can be aimed at.

(1-6) When it is controlled in the first time-saving state and when it is controlled in the non-time-saving state, it is controlled in the 6th time-saving state that can be expected to cause the big hit game E. There may be opportunities to Thereby, improvement of interest can be aimed at.

(1-7) Since the first time saving state is easier to end than the second time saving state and the sixth time saving state, I am interested in whether it is controlled to the second time saving state or the sixth time saving state. can have.
(Second embodiment)
A pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment will be described.

In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the same controls as those of the already described embodiment, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.
As shown in FIG. 15, in the second embodiment, in the second time saving state, when the number of times the small hit symbol Za is stopped and displayed after being controlled to the second time saving state reaches the first number of times, the second It differs from the first embodiment in that the end condition of the time saving state is satisfied. That is, when the main control CPU81 is controlled to the second time saving state, the second time saving when the number of times the small hit pattern Za is stopped and displayed after being controlled to the second time saving state reaches the first number It is determined that the end condition of the state is met. Further, in the second embodiment, in the second time saving state, when the number of times the small winning symbol Zf is stopped and displayed after being controlled to the second time saving state reaches the first end number, the second time saving state ends. This differs from the first embodiment in that the conditions are met. That is, when the main control CPU81 is controlled to the second time saving state, when the number of times the small hit symbol Zf is stopped and displayed after being controlled to the second time saving state reaches the first end number of times It determines with completion conditions of a time saving state being satisfied.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, when the first number of times and the second number of times are one time, and the first end number of times is one time, the small winning pattern Za when controlled to the second time saving state The expected degree of occurrence of the big hit game A based on is about one-third. When the first number of times and the second number of times are one and the first end number of times is one, the degree of expectation that the big winning game B based on the small winning symbol Zb when controlled to the second time saving state is generated. is about one-third. When the first number of times and the second number of times are one time and the first end number of times is one time, the degree of expectation that the big winning game F based on the small winning symbol Zf when controlled to the second time saving state is generated. is about one-third. That is, the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state is the second small in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state This is the same as the expectation that the occurrence condition is satisfied when the winning b is won. That is, the frequency at which the opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 prevents the occurrence condition from being satisfied when the first small win a is won in the winning lottery when controlled to the second time saving state is the second time saving state. This is the same frequency as the opening/closing piece 23a of the second starting port 23 that prevents the occurrence condition from being satisfied when the second minor win b is won in the winning lottery when the state is controlled.

As described above, in the second time-saving state in which hitting to the right is recommended, the game ball can enter the second start port 23 when hitting to the right, while the game ball does not enter the first start port 22. . Therefore, in the second time-saving state, the first small wins a to f and the second big win O2 can be won in the winning lottery, but the first big win O1 is not won in the winning lottery. Then, as described above, in the second time saving state, while the jackpot games A, B, and F based on the small winning symbols Za, Zb, and Zf corresponding to the second time saving state can be generated, they do not correspond to the second time saving state. The jackpot games C to E based on the jackpot symbols Zc to Ze are almost not generated. That is, in the second time-saving state, while the big winning games A, B, F, and H can occur, the big winning games C to E and G do not occur.

The transition of the game state from the second time saving state in the second embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 17, when the big hit game A is triggered by winning the first small hit a in the winning lottery when it is controlled in the second time saving state, after the big hit game A ends. It is controlled to the second time saving state again.

More specifically, when the jackpot game F is triggered by fulfilling the occurrence condition when the sixth small win f is won in the winning lottery when it is controlled to the second time saving state, After the jackpot game F is finished, it is controlled to a non-time-saving state.

Effects of the second embodiment will be described.
(2-1) It is possible to entertain the control from the first time saving state to the second time saving state, and in the second time saving state, it is possible to entertain that the second time saving state loops. That is, it is possible to provide different game properties in the first time saving state and the second time saving state. Thereby, improvement of interest can be aimed at.

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.
- In 2nd Embodiment, the 1st small hit a which can be won in a 1st time saving state and the 1st small hit a which can be won in a 2nd time saving state may differ. That is, the non-specific hit may not occur in the second time saving state.

- The rush probability may differ between the first special game process and the second special game process. For example, the rush probability may be lower when executing the first special game process than when executing the second special game process. For example, the rush probability may be higher when executing the first special game process than when executing the second special game process.

- Part or all of the time-saving opportunity symbols that can be determined in the first special game process and the second special game process may be different. As an example, when executing the first special game process, an advantageous time-saving opportunity pattern is determined as compared to when executing the second special game process, or an advantageous time-saving opportunity pattern is determined more easily. can be As an example, when executing the second special game process, an advantageous time-saving opportunity pattern is determined, or an advantageous time-saving opportunity pattern is determined more easily than when performing the first special game process. can be

- When the time-saving opportunity symbol is stop-displayed in a special game, it may be controlled to an arbitrary game state after the end of the special game. As an example, when the time saving opportunity symbol is stop-displayed in the special game, the game may be controlled to the first time saving state after the special game ends. As an example, when the time saving opportunity symbol is stop-displayed in a special game, it may be controlled to the second time saving state after the end of the special game.

- During the small winning game, it may be possible to execute a predetermined effect. In this case, it may be possible to execute different effects depending on whether or not it is in the time saving state during the small winning game.
- In each time-saving state, the end condition may be set arbitrarily. For example, the type of small hit corresponding to each time saving state may be set arbitrarily, and the end condition is satisfied when the number of times the small hit corresponding to each time saving state is stopped and displayed reaches an arbitrary number of times. good too. For example, in each time saving state, as the end condition, the case where the number of stop times of non-corresponding small winning symbols in each time saving state reaches the upper limit end number is defined, but it is not limited to this. For example, it is not necessary to include the stop count of non-corresponding small winning symbols in each time saving state in the end condition. For example, the termination condition may include a case where the number of stops of non-corresponding small winning symbols in each time saving state reaches a predetermined number of times which is less than the upper limit number of times of termination.

- The advantage of each time saving state may be arbitrarily defined. For example, the first time-saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the second time-saving state. For example, the first time-saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the third time-saving state. For example, the first time-saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the fourth time-saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be an advantageous game state compared to the fifth time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the sixth time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the second time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a gaming state having the same advantage as the third time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the fourth time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the fifth time saving state. For example, the first time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the sixth time saving state.

For example, the second time saving state may be an advantageous game state compared to the third time saving state. For example, the second time-saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the fourth time-saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be an advantageous game state compared to the fifth time saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be an advantageous game state compared to the sixth time saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be a gaming state having the same advantage as the third time saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the fourth time saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the fifth time saving state. For example, the second time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the sixth time saving state.

For example, the fifth time saving state may be a game state that is more advantageous than the sixth time saving state. For example, the fifth time saving state may be a game state having the same advantage as the sixth time saving state.

Each big win game may be triggered by winning a big win in a winning lottery, or may be triggered by winning a small win in a winning lottery. For example, the big hit game G may be triggered by winning a predetermined small hit in a winning lottery performed when a game ball enters the first start hole 22 . In other words, the main control CPU 81 may draw a lottery to determine whether or not to win a predetermined small win when the big win is not won in the winning lottery performed by the game ball entering the first start hole 22 . In this case, the predetermined small win may not be won in the winning lottery performed when the game ball enters the second starting port 23. - 特許庁

- The frequency (percentage) of winning each small win may be changed arbitrarily. When the frequency (ratio) of winning each small win is different, the frequency (ratio) of winning the corresponding big win game differs according to the frequency (ratio) of winning each small win. As a specific example, even if the first end count and the second end count are the same, the frequency (percentage) of winning the first small win a in the winning lottery is the second small win in the winning lottery. If it is lower than the frequency (percentage) of winning b, the frequency (percentage) of the jackpot game A triggered by winning the first small hit a in the first time saving state is the second in the second time saving state It is lower than the frequency (proportion) of the occurrence of the big win game A triggered by winning the small win b. In other words, the advantage of each time saving state may vary depending on the frequency of winning the corresponding small hit.

- In the first special game process, a winning lottery other than the first big win O1 may be won. Another win may be a small win or a big win. As an example, the game may be controlled to the second time-saving state after the end of the big-hit game triggered by another winning in the winning lottery. In this case, in the first special game process, the percentage of winning the first big win O1 in the winning lottery may be higher or lower than the percentage of winning other winnings in the winning lottery. As an example, the game may be controlled to the third time-saving state after the end of the jackpot game triggered by winning another prize in the prize lottery. In this case, in the first special game process, the percentage of winning the first big win O1 in the winning lottery may be higher or lower than the percentage of winning other winnings in the winning lottery. As an example, after the end of the jackpot game triggered by winning another prize in the prize lottery, the fourth time-saving state may be controlled. In this case, in the first special game process, the percentage of winning the first big win O1 in the winning lottery may be higher or lower than the percentage of winning other winnings in the winning lottery. As an example, the game may be controlled to the fifth time-saving state after the end of the big-hit game triggered by another winning in the winning lottery. In this case, in the first special game process, the percentage of winning the first big win O1 in the winning lottery may be higher or lower than the percentage of winning other winnings in the winning lottery. As an example, the game may be controlled to the sixth time-saving state after the end of a big-hit game triggered by another winning in the winning lottery. In this case, in the first special game process, the percentage of winning the first big win O1 in the winning lottery may be higher or lower than the percentage of winning other winnings in the winning lottery. It should be noted that there may be a plurality of types of other hits. In this case, depending on the type of another winning, the game state after the end of the big winning game triggered by winning another winning may be different.

- In the second special game process, a winning lottery other than the small wins a to f and the second big win O2 may be won. Another win may be a small win or a big win.
