It is changed for 2.505 seconds and then stopped and displayed. In addition, the variation of the decorative middle pattern in each of the reach 1 to 3 as described above is a case where the display mode of the decorative pattern, in other words, the display result of the special pattern is lost, and when it is a big hit,
After the big hit correspondence design is once derived by the above-mentioned fluctuation and the big hit is announced in advance, the big hit correspondence design is derived again after being changed again. The details of this re-variation pattern will be described in the following variation explanation of special symbols.

Next, a specific variation operation of the special symbol will be described. The upper, middle, and lower special symbols start to fluctuate at the same time when the decorative symbols start to fluctuate, and then stop fluctuating at the same time to derive the display result. Further, as described above, since the decorative design varies depending on the display result of the special symbol (missing hit), the variation of the special symbol will be described for each display result of hitting miss in the following description. First, if the display result is a big hit,
As shown in 1, when the starting ball detector 8 is turned on and the variation of the decorative design is started in accordance with the winning of the normal variable winning ball device 5, the special design is simultaneously performed in the variation pattern A at the same time. Start fluctuating. After that, when the special design is the final stop design of the decorative design, the decorative middle design is once stopped and the big hit corresponding design is derived in advance, at the same time, the fluctuation is stopped at once and the big hit design is derived. Further, the special symbol is to change the variation from the variation pattern A to the variation pattern B 0.420 seconds before the big hit symbol is derived. On the other hand, the decorative design which has temporarily stopped the big hit corresponding design is temporarily stopped for 0.420 seconds and then changed for 2.580 seconds to finally derive the big hit corresponding design. In addition, both the big hit corresponding design at the time of stop and the big hit corresponding design at the last stop are the same big hit combination according to the extracted value of C_RND_A (* 3). Then, 1.000 seconds after the deduction of the big hit symbol, the confirmation judgment of the big hit is made, and the rail decoration lamp 25 and the frame lamp 28 (in FIG. 11, in order to notify the occurrence of the specific game state).
Lighting or blinking of a decorative lamp) is controlled. In addition,
At this time, a big hit sound is generated from the speaker 29. In addition, when 1.000 seconds have passed since the deduction of the big hit symbol, the opening / closing plate 11 of the special variable winning ball device 9
Is opened for a predetermined time (29.500 seconds) to generate a specific game state. The predetermined time (2.000 seconds) after the opening and closing of the opening / closing plate 11 is set as the effective working time of the accessory continuous operation device, and the specific ball detector 12 is set within that time.
Is turned on, the continuation right is controlled.

In addition, the special symbol when the display result is lost is varied in the same variation pattern as that of the big hit described above. At this time, as for the decorative design, as shown in FIG. 12A, the display mode (remove design) is derived at the same time when the display result in which the special design is displaced is derived. Then, after 1.000 seconds from the derivation of the deviating symbol, the confirmation confirmation of the loss is performed. In addition, when there is a starting memory of the decorative symbol and the special symbol after the display result of the defect is derived, the variation of the decorative symbol and the special symbol is started at the same time 0.004 seconds after the confirmation determination of the defect. In addition,
At this time, the stored C_RND1 is read and determined 0.002 seconds after the confirmation confirmation of the loss. On the other hand, if there is a starting memory of the decorative symbol and the special symbol at the end of the specific game state, as shown in FIG. 12 (B),
13.04 seconds after the closing of the special variable winning ball device 9, the variation of the decorative symbol and the special symbol is started at the same time. In addition,
In this case, 13.00 from the closing of the special variable winning ball device 9
Two seconds later, the stored C_RND1 is read and determined.

Next, the derivation of the probability variation symbol and the probability variation end symbol in the special symbol display portions 14a to 14c, in other words, the occurrence and termination of the probability variation control accompanying the derivation of the probability variation symbol and the probability variation end symbol in the decorative variable display device 30. Each operation will be described based on the time chart of FIG. In FIG. 13A, the extracted value of C_RND_A is any of “0 to 3” and the variable decoration display device 30 (in FIG. 13A,
When any probability variation pattern of "333""555""777""999" is derived in each of the decorative pattern display portions 33a to 33c of the condition device), the probability variation control is generated based on this. The specific control of the probability variation is to change the probability to a high probability upon the end of the specific game state (operation of the condition device) by the probable change symbol, and then, when the next specific game state occurs, Return the hit probability to the normal probability.
Then, the variation of the hit probability triggered by the end and occurrence of such a specific game state is defined as one unit of probability variation control, and this probability variation control is "444""666""8" in the decorative pattern.
It continues until it hits big with any probability end pattern of "88". The probability variation end symbol is derived when the extracted value of C_RND_A is “7 to 15”. Further, such a probability variation control is also performed for ordinary symbols, which will be described in detail below, as well as special symbols.

By the way, in the decorative variable display device 30 of the present embodiment, as shown in the respective list charts of FIGS. 4 and 5, the number of symbols in one symbol display section is 16 of the special symbols.
It is set to 10 types, which is less than the types. Thereby, on the display, the big hit probability, the probability variation plunge probability, and the probability variation continuation probability of the decorative symbol are set higher than those of the special symbol. Specifically, as shown in the list chart of FIG. 13 (B), 1/256 (= 1 of the special symbol with a big hit probability on the display).
/ 16 × 1/16), the decorative design is 1/100 (=
It is set as high as 1/10 × 1/10). Further, the actual jackpot probability in the normal time is C_for determining the jackpot.
It becomes 1/225 based on the setting of RND1 (0 to 224), which is slightly higher than the jackpot probability on the display of the special symbol. Further, with regard to the probability variation symbol for controlling the probability variation, the special symbol is set to 4 types out of all 16 types of jackpot symbols, and the decorative symbol is set to 4 types out of all 10 types of jackpot corresponding symbols. (See Figure 6). On the other hand, for the probability variation end symbol that controls the end of probability fluctuation, the special symbol is set to 9 out of 16 types of jackpot symbols, and the decorative symbol is set to 3 types out of 10 types of jackpot corresponding symbols. (See Figure 6). Therefore, FIG.
As shown in (B), on the display with special symbols (and substance)
While the probability variation inrush rate of 4/16 (= 25%) is set, the probability variation inrush rate on the display is 4/10 (=
40%) is set to a high value, and further, the probability variation continuation rate on the display (and the actual) with special symbols is set to 7/16 (= 44%), while the probability variation continuation rate on the display with decorative symbols is set. Is set as high as 7/10 (= 70%).

Next, the normal symbols displayed on the normal symbol display 34 will be described. Normal pattern is Fig.14
As shown in (B), 6 of "A, b, C, d, L, 7"
It is a type, for these ordinary symbols, FIG.
As shown in (A), WC_RND2 (3 to 13) for hit determination, which is incremented by 1 every 0.002 seconds, and 0.0
WC_RND_F for normal symbol display, which is incremented by 1 every 02 seconds and is incremented by 1 in the interrupt processing remainder time
(0 to 5). Also, WC_RND
In extracting a random number from 2 (3 to 13), as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4 (C), when the value of “3” is extracted and determined to be a hit, WC_RND_F is normally displayed on the symbol display 34.
The winning symbol of "7" corresponding to "5" of the data is displayed and the normally variable winning ball device 5 is opened for a predetermined time (enlargement of the winning opening).
I do. On the other hand, WC When a value other than “3” is extracted in RND2 and it is determined that the value is out of the range, the value of the WC_RND_F data is extracted, and the out-of-range pattern corresponding to this value is displayed on the normal symbol display 34. WC If the value extracted by WC_RND_F happens to be a winning symbol even though it is determined to be off by RND2, the off symbol of "A" is selected and displayed on the normal symbol display 34. Is. Further, the determination of the hit or miss associated with the extraction of the WC_RND2 is that the winning probability of the symbol is normal, and at the time of probability fluctuation (high probability), “3 to 12” of WC_RND2.
The value of is the random number for determining the hit.

Next, the variation operation of the normal symbol on the above-mentioned normal symbol display 34 will be described based on the time charts of FIGS. 15 (A) to 15 (C). First, in FIG. 15 (A), when the passing ball detector 19 (in FIG. 15 (A), a normal symbol starting ball detector) is turned on, at the same time as WC
_RND2 is extracted and stored. After that, when a predetermined time (0.002 seconds) elapses after the passing ball detector 19 is turned on, WC_RND_F is extracted, and the extracted value is 0.00.
The fluctuation of the normal pattern starts after 2 seconds. Then, the fluctuation is stopped after a predetermined time (28.000 seconds) from the passage ball detector 19 being turned on. It should be noted that, at the time of probability variation of * shown in FIG. 15 (A), the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened to 5.200 seconds. Then, when the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed in the normal probability is a winning symbol, as shown in FIG. 15 (B),
Ordinary variable winning ball device 5 is opened for 0.500 seconds after a predetermined time (0.002 seconds) after the normal symbol stops. Thereafter, if there is a passing memory to the passing ball detector 19, the WC is set 0.002 seconds after the normally variable winning prize ball device 5 is closed.
_RND_F is extracted, and the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol is started again 0.002 seconds after that. Further, when the normal symbol which is stopped and displayed at the time of probability fluctuation is a winning symbol,
As shown in (C), when a predetermined time (0.002 seconds) elapses after the normal symbol stops, the normal variable winning ball device 5 is opened for 2.200 seconds, and after an interval of 3.000 seconds, Open again for 2.200 seconds. After that, when there is a passing memory to the passing ball detector 19, 0.002 seconds after the normal variable winning ball device 5 is closed, WC_RND
_F is extracted, and 0.002 seconds later, the fluctuation of the normal symbol is started again.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the special symbol display portion 14a to variably display the special symbol.
In addition to 14c, a decoration variable display device 30 for deriving a decorative design in a display mode corresponding to the display result (missing hit) of the special design is provided. And the special symbol display portion 14a ~
14c is arranged in the right corner of the game area 3 while being provided in the side LED decoration 24, thereby making it relatively difficult for the player to visually recognize the special symbol. On the other hand, the decorative variable display device 30 is arranged in the approximate center of the game area 3 which is easily visible and noticeable by the player, and variably displays decorative symbols having a higher decorativeness than the special symbols. It has become. Thereby, in the present embodiment,
The variable display device 3 for determining whether or not a specific game state is generated
It is configured to give the player the impression that it will be played with 0. Furthermore, the decorative pattern with a high degree of attention is set by the various settings of the jackpot probability, the probability variation inrush rate, and the probability variation continuation rate on the display of the decoration pattern described above. The real jackpot probability due to the fluctuation of
Probability change rush rate, big hit with a higher probability than probability change continuation rate,
It is possible to give the player the impression that the probability variation is rushed into and continues to be probability variation, which in turn leads to an increase in expectations of the game.

Further, the variable decoration display device 30 of the present embodiment.
In the configuration in which the display mode of the decorative design is derived after the display result of the special design when the big hit is determined, the decorative design is temporarily stopped at the same time as the derivation of the big hit design in the special design display portions 14a to 14c. Corresponding symbols are derived. Therefore, since the display result of the special symbol is derived first if the special symbol is seen, even if the configuration is such that it is possible to know whether or not it is a big hit without looking at the display mode of the decorative symbol, attention is paid to the decorative symbol. The player's attention is always directed to the decorative pattern without halving the degree. Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, it is easy to distinguish the display of the decorative symbol (the symbol corresponding to the jackpot) from the jackpot by the setting of the jackpot combination, and the jackpot of the special symbol (the jackpot symbol) is displayed. It is difficult to distinguish, and this configuration also brings about an increase in the degree of attention to the decorative pattern. Even when the display of the special symbol (big hit symbol) is easily set to be a big hit, the effect (the player's attention is always directed toward the decorative symbol) due to the notice display of the above-mentioned big hit symbol can be achieved. It is a thing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the derivation time of the display mode of the decorative symbol is after the derivation of the display result of the special symbol only when the special symbol becomes the big hit symbol, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the display mode of the decorative design may be derived after the display result of the special design is derived regardless of the display result of the special design (missing hit).
Only when the display result of the special symbol includes reach, the display mode of the decorative symbol may be derived after the derivation of the display result of the special symbol. Furthermore, the time of derivation of the preliminary big hit corresponding design by temporarily stopping the decorative design is not limited to the time of derivation of the big hit design, and FIG.
As shown by a broken line in the drawing, it may be before the derivation of the big hit symbol. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the player's attention is constantly maintained,
In order to direct to the decorative design, a big hit design is once derived in accordance with the derivation of the big hit design, and the big hit is announced in advance, but not limited to this, a change in reach variation of the decorative design (for example, ,, the big hit pertinent symbol is switched to slow fluctuation when passing on the reach line), the change of the notification operation by the notification means (for example, lamp lighting, sound output, etc.), or the symbol display of the decorative symbol (for example, symbol color or A notice of a big hit may be notified by a change in the shape of the pattern). Further, the derivation of the big hit correspondence symbol by once stopping may be predictive.

Next, another embodiment for directing the decorative pattern to the player's attention will be described below as second and third embodiments. First, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18. The types of the special design and the decorative design of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, respectively, and the combination of the big hit corresponding designs composed of the decorative design is also the same as that of the first embodiment. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, the combination of the special jackpots consisting of special symbols is set to the same pattern, and the player also determines that the jackpot is a big jackpot even by displaying the special symbol (big hit symbol). It has an easy configuration. In addition, the control regarding the normal symbol is also the same as that of the first embodiment.

The changing operation of each decorative symbol and the special symbol in the second embodiment for each missed contact will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. It should be noted that the specific variation of the decorative pattern is performed in the same variation pattern as that at the time of losing in the first embodiment, in any case of the hit or miss. When the display result is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 17, when the starting ball detector 8 is turned on and the variation of the decorative pattern is started in accordance with the winning in the normally variable winning ball device 5, at the same time, The special symbols start changing all at once in the changing pattern A. After that, the special symbol is changed from the variation pattern A to the variation pattern B, and the variation in this variation pattern B is performed for 0.42 seconds, and then the big hit symbol is derived to determine the big hit. In addition, the jackpot pattern that determines this jackpot is the C_RN
It is a big hit combination according to the extracted value of D_A (see * 5 in FIG. 17). Then, the special symbol is 2.0 in the fluctuation pattern D after the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed for 0.6 seconds.
The variation of the demonstration is performed for a second, and finally the same big hit symbol as before the variation of the demonstration is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, the decorative pattern that started to change at the same time as the special symbol, after performing the reach change of any one of the reach 1 to 3, the special symbol ends the demonstration change, and at the same time derives the big hit correspondence symbol. After that, similar to the first embodiment, 1.00 from the derivation of the big hit symbol
After a second, a jackpot confirmation determination is performed, and a specific game state is generated by various lamps 25 and 28 (described as a decorative lamp in FIG. 17) and a speaker 29 (described as a jackpot sound in FIG. 17). The notification is made, and at the same time, the specific game state is generated by the opening control of the special variable winning ball device 9.

In the case where the display result is lost, the special pattern starts changing in the change pattern A at the same time as the change in the decorative pattern, and then changes to the intermediate change pattern B as shown in FIG. 18 (A). In other words, after the change in the change pattern B is performed for 0.42 seconds, the change is temporarily stopped and the temporary display result is displayed. The temporary display result is a big hit combination corresponding to the extracted value of C_RND_A (* in FIG. 18 (A)).
5). Then, the special symbol is changed again in the variation pattern D after being temporarily stopped for 0.4 seconds, and after the variation in the variation pattern D is performed for 2.0 seconds, the deviation symbol is finally derived. After that, after 1.000 seconds from the derivation of the disengagement symbol, the confirmation determination of the loss is performed. In addition, when there is a starting memory of the decorative symbol and the special symbol after the display result of the defect is derived, the variation of the decorative symbol and the special symbol is started at the same time 0.004 seconds after the confirmation determination of the defect. In addition,
At this time, the stored C_RND1 is read and determined 0.002 seconds after the confirmation confirmation of the loss. On the other hand, when there is a starting memory of the decorative symbol and the special symbol at the end of the specific game state, as shown in FIG. 18 (B),
13.04 seconds after the closing of the special variable winning ball device 9, the variation of the decorative symbol and the special symbol is started at the same time. In addition,
In this case, 13.00 from the closing of the special variable winning ball device 9
Two seconds later, the stored C_RND1 is read and determined.

As described above, in the second embodiment, when the jackpot is determined, the display mode of the decorative symbol is derived after the display result of the special symbol. After the jackpot pattern for confirming the jackpot is once derived, the decorative symbol is determined. Until the display mode of (No. corresponding to the big hit) is derived, the special symbol is adapted to be changed by demonstration. In addition, at the time of loss, the display mode of the decorative symbol and the display result of the special symbol are derived at the same time, and the special symbol is temporarily stopped before deriving the deviating symbol in order to make it appear as if the same variation as at the time of a big hit. Then, the provisional display result (the design of the big hit combination) is displayed. For this reason, even if you look at the stop display of special symbols (at the time of stop and at the time of confirmation), it is not clear whether it is a big hit or not, so attention is focused on decorative designs with high decorativeness, and as a result, the player's attention is maintained throughout Can be directed to the design. In the second embodiment, when the big hit is determined, the big hit design is once derived and then the demonstration is changed, and after the change, the big hit design is stopped and displayed again, but the present invention is not limited to this structure. For example, the demonstration variation may be continued until the end of the specific game state. That is,
Demonstration variation after deriving the big hit symbol makes it impossible to determine whether the variation of the special symbol is at the big hit or at the time of losing, until the decorative design derives the display mode. Any variation pattern will do. Further, in the second embodiment, a special design (big hit design) as a combination of big hit designs as double stitches of the same design.
The display of is set to be easy to determine as a big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the combination of big hits is a combination other than the same pattern as in the first embodiment, so that a special design (big hit design) is displayed. It may be set so that it is difficult to determine that it is a big hit.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 25. First, the random numbers used for the variation operation of the special symbol and the decorative symbol of the third embodiment will be described based on the list diagram of FIG. 19 (A). As shown in FIG. 19 (A), the random number is C_R for jackpot determination.
ND1 (0 to 224), C_RND_R for reach operation
CH (0 to 99), large / small hits and C_ for display of loss
RND_A (0 to 27), C_RND_ for upper symbol display
L (0 to 41), C_RND_C for middle symbol display (0 to
13), C_RND_R (0 to 13) for lower symbol display,
K_RND_L (0-9) for decoration left design display, K_RND_C (0-9) for decoration middle design display, and K_RND_R (0-9) for decoration right design display.

Then, as shown in FIG. 19B, C
When the value extracted from RND1 is "77" and it is determined to be a big hit, the big hit design of the special design and the big hit corresponding design of the decorative design are determined by the data of C_RND_A (0 to 27), and each design is a special design. It is led to the display units 14a to 14c and the decorative pattern display units 33a to 33c. In addition,
At this time, the big hit symbol based on the data of C_RND_A (0 to 27) is determined at the same time as its display color in addition to the symbol arrangement. On the other hand, if a value other than “77” is extracted by C_RND1 and it is determined that the value is other than a big hit, then C_R
It is determined whether or not the extracted value of ND1 is "33" or "55". The extracted value of C_RND1 is “33”
In the case of any of "55", it is determined to be a small hit or a loss. And, the small hitting design or the off design of the special design and the small hit correspondence design or the off design of the decorative design are decided by the data of C_RND_A (0 to 27), and each design is displayed in the special design display portions 14a to 14c and the decorative design. Part 33a-
33c is derived. At this time, similarly, C_R
In addition to the symbol arrangement, the display color of the small hitting symbol or the non-matching symbol based on the data of ND_A (0 to 27) is also determined at the same time.

The extracted value of C_RND1 is "3".
If it is neither 3 nor 55, it is determined to be a loss. Then, as for the special symbol, the symbols corresponding to the respective extracted values from C_RND_L, C, R are derived as special symbols on the special symbol display portions 14a to 14c, and the decorative symbols are K_RND_.
The symbols corresponding to the respective extracted values from L, C, and R are derived as decorative symbols on the decorative symbol display portions 33a to 33c. In addition, when each extracted value from C_RND_L / C / R happens to coincide with the big hit symbol, by subtracting “1” from the data of C_RND_L, K_RND_L /
When each extracted value from C and R happens to coincide with the big hit correspondence symbol, "1" is subtracted from the data of K_RND_L to deviate each symbol to derive the display result. When the probability changes (high probability), C_
The value of “77 to 85” in RND1 is a random number for determining the big hit.

Next, the types of special symbols and decorative symbols of the third embodiment will be described with reference to the list charts of FIGS. 20 to 23. First, the special symbol display portions 14a to 14
The upper, middle, and lower symbols displayed in c are shown in FIGS. 20 and 21.
As shown in FIG. 7, each of the seven segments is lit and displayed, and is configured as a design without forming numbers and letters. Moreover, each of the upper, middle, and lower symbols is provided with a corresponding random number of C_RND_L, C, R. The display color of the above pattern is "red""green"
While there are three types of settings of "orange", the display color of each of the middle and lower symbols is only one type of "red". Also, a combination of special symbols big hit (big hit pattern),
Small hit combination (small hit pattern), and lost combination (C_
Random pattern based on the extraction of RND_A)
It is determined based on the list chart of No. 2. Specifically, C_
Upper pattern (including display color) based on the extracted value of RND_A
While deciding, the pattern of the same shape as the above pattern
Determined as each pattern below. Note that such C_RN
As described above, the symbol combination based on the extracted value of D_A is determined when the big hit is determined according to the extracted value of C_RND1 (C
_RND1 is "77") and when small hit or loss is determined (C
_RND1 is other than "77").
Also, C_RND_A is "0-9" in the big hit decision.
When it becomes, it becomes a probability variation pattern, and C_RND_A is "10 to 1".
When it is "5", it becomes a normal design, and C_RND_A is "16".
When it is ~ 27 ", the probability variation end pattern is obtained. On the other hand, in the small hit or loss determination, when C_RND_A is "0 to 13", it becomes a small hit symbol, and C_RND_A is "14 to 2".
When it is 7 ”, it becomes a detached pattern.

On the other hand, the decorative pattern display portions 33a to 33c
As shown in FIG. 23 (A), the left, middle, and right decorative patterns displayed in are each made up of 10 types of "0 to 9". , K_RN
R_D, C, and R random numbers are provided correspondingly. In addition, the combination of decorative patterns corresponding to the special combination big hit combination, small hit combination, and loss combination,
As shown in FIG. 23 (B), the patterns have the same pattern. In the special symbol, the symbol combination based on the extracted value of C_RND_A is set separately when the big hit is determined and when the small hit or the loss is determined, but in the decorative pattern, the big hit symbol and the small hit when the big hit is determined or The small hit pattern or the out-of-place pattern when the loss is determined is set uniformly. Therefore, for example, the display mode of the decorative pattern may be "888" and the big hit may be determined, or the display mode of the decorative pattern may be lost even though the display mode is "888".

The changing operation of each decorative symbol and the special symbol in each of the third embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, each variation of the decorative design and the special design is set uniformly regardless of each hit, and the specific variation of the decorative design is the same variation pattern as that at the time of losing the first embodiment. Done. In FIG. 24, the starting ball detector 8 is turned on when the prize is put into the normally variable winning ball device 5.
When N is started and the variation of the decorative pattern is started, at the same time, the special symbol starts varying in the variation pattern A all at once. After that, the special symbol changes the variation from the variation pattern A to the variation pattern B, derives the display result after performing the variation in the variation pattern B for 0.42 seconds. on the other hand,
The decorative pattern that started to change at the same time as the special pattern, after the reach change of any of the reach other than the reach or reach 1 to 3, after a predetermined time (2.0 seconds) from the time when the special pattern derives the display result. A display mode is derived. Further, when the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is derived by the stop display of the special symbol, the special variable winning ball device 9 is controlled to be opened simultaneously with the derivation of the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol, and various lamps 25, 28 are also provided. (Depicted as a decorative lamp in FIG. 24) and speaker 29 (depicted as a hit sound in FIG. 24)
The hit notification is given by. When the display result of the special symbol is the big hit symbol, the opening control and the hit notification control of the special variable winning ball device 9 similar to the first and second embodiments are performed. On the other hand, if the display result of the special design is a small hit design, a predetermined period (2.0 seconds) from the time when the small hit design is derived to the time when the small hit corresponding design based on the decorative design is derived.
The opening control and the hit notification control of the special variable winning ball device 9 are performed only inside.

Next, each operation of occurrence and termination of the probability variation control accompanying the derivation of the probability variation symbol and the probability variation end symbol in the third embodiment will be described based on the time chart of FIG. 25 (A). 25A, the extracted value of C_RND_A is any of “0 to 9” and the variable decoration display device 30 is displayed.
"333", "555", and "77" are displayed on the respective decorative pattern display portions 33a to 33c of "(condition device in FIG. 25 (A)").
When the probability variation pattern of either 7 "or" 999 "is derived,
Probability variation control is generated based on this. The specific control of the probability variation is to change the probability to a high probability upon the end of the specific game state (operation of the condition device) by the probable change symbol, and then, when the next specific game state occurs, Return the hit probability to the normal probability. Then, the variation of the hit probability triggered by the end and occurrence of such a specific game state is defined as one unit of probability variation control, and this probability variation control is applied to any of the probability variations of "444", "666", "888" in the decorative pattern. Continue until a big hit with the design. The probability variation end symbol is derived when the extracted value of C_RND_A is “16 to 27”.

By the way, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG.
And, as shown in each table of FIG. 21, the special symbol is
The upper design is set to 42 types, and each of the middle and lower designs is set to 14 types, while the decorative design is shown in FIG.
As shown in the list view of (A), each of the left, middle, and right symbols is set to 10 types. Thereby, on the display, the big hit probability, the probability variation plunge probability, and the probability variation continuation probability of the decorative symbol are set higher than those of the special symbol. Specifically, as shown in the list chart of FIG. 25 (B), with a big hit probability on the display, 1/588 (= 14/42 ×) of the special symbol
Decorative pattern is 1/100 against 1/14 x 1/14)
It is set to a high value (= 1/10 × 1/10). In addition, the actual jackpot probability in the normal time is 1/22 based on the setting of C_RND1 (0 to 224) for determining the jackpot.
It is set to 5, which is slightly higher than the jackpot probability on the display of the special symbol. In addition, for the probability variation pattern that controls the occurrence of probability fluctuations, the special symbol is set to 5 types out of all 14 types of jackpot symbols (see FIG. 22), and the decorative symbol is 5 types out of all 10 types of jackpot corresponding symbols. Is set (see FIG. 23 (B)). On the other hand, with regard to the probability variation end symbol for controlling the probability variation, the special symbol is set to 6 out of all 14 types of jackpot symbols (see FIG. 22), and the decorative symbol is 3 out of all 10 types of jackpot corresponding symbols. The type is set (see FIG. 23 (B)). Therefore, FIG.
As shown in (B), on the display with special symbols (and substance)
The probability variation inrush rate is set to 5/14 (= 36%), whereas in the decorative pattern, the probability variation intrusion rate on the display is 5/10 (=
50%) is set to a high value, and further, the probability variation continuation rate on the display (and the actual) with the special symbol is set to 8/14 (= 57%), whereas the probability variation continuation rate on the display with the decorative pattern is set. Is set as high as 7/10 (= 70%).

As described above, in the third embodiment, the special symbol is constituted by 7-segment display other than numbers and letters, and each symbol combination of the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, and the out-of-match symbol is displayed on the upper symbol. By classifying only the colors, it is difficult to distinguish the big hit pattern, the small hit pattern, and the out-of-match pattern. On the other hand, as for the decorative design, the combination of large and small hit-corresponding designs is made into the same design to make it easy to identify the hit. For this reason, in the configuration in which the display mode of the decorative symbol is derived after the display result of the special symbol when the big hit is determined, it is difficult to tell whether or not it is a hit even if the display result of the special symbol is seen, so it is easy to judge the hit. As a result, attention is paid to the decorative pattern with high decorativeness, and as a result, the player's attention can be constantly directed toward the decorative pattern. In addition, in the third embodiment, the combination of each large and small hit corresponding design and the out-of-place design in the decorative design is the same design, but not limited to this, only the big and small hit corresponding designs are the same design Alternatively, the combination type may be classified for each big and small hit corresponding design.

The first to third embodiments described above do not limit the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the decorative design display section for displaying the decorative design and the special design display section for displaying the special design are configured by separate display devices, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative design on the same display device. And a special symbol may be displayed. Even in this case, it is necessary to display the decorative pattern in an easily visible manner, while displaying the special pattern in a difficultly visible manner. Further, as the factors that determine the visibility of such decorative designs and special designs, there are the display position, the size of the display area, and the like. Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative symbol display portion and the special symbol display portion are respectively the LCD display and the L display.
Although it is composed of an ED display, it is not particularly limited to this, and each display unit is composed of a display such as a CRT, LED, VFD, EL, or plasma, or a drum type, a roof type, or a belt type. It is also possible to do so. Further, as the configuration of the ball game machine, the variation of the identification information on the variable display device is started with the detection of the winning ball by the starting ball detector, and when the identification information has a predetermined display result, a specific game state occurs. A ball game machine (which is generally called the first type) that opens the variable winning ball device is illustrated, but the invention is not particularly limited to this, and the winning ball of the starting ball detector is detected. The variation display device starts changing the identification information, and when the identification information has a predetermined display result, the right state is generated, and in this state, when the ball is hit in the specific area, the specific game state is generated. (This is commonly called the third type). Further, the entire ball game machine is constituted by a display device such as an LCD display, that is, the components such as "hitting ball" and "variable winning ball device" are displayed on the display device in a simulated manner. Can also be configured. In this case,
The payout of the prize balls may be performed on behalf of the points.
