The JP island management device 4 is provided only on those JP islands in which a JP prize can be generated among a large number of gaming machine installation islands provided in a game arcade. The game center is provided with a JP central management device 5 for centrally managing JP.

When a player plays a game, a common card is first inserted into the card unit 1. Then, the card information (including the card balance) recorded on the inserted common card is read by the card unit 1, and the card balance included in the read card information is deducted, which corresponds to the debited amount. A payout command signal for paying out a lending ball is output to the payout control means 9. The payout control means 9 receives the command signal and performs control for paying out a predetermined number of lending balls. The card unit 1 performs a process of outputting a JP addition signal to the JP island management device 4 as described later each time a predetermined amount is debited from the remaining card amount.

The player plays a game using the lending balls paid out under the control of the payout control means 9, and the pachinko gaming machine 2
If a hit ball is hit into the game area provided in the game and the hit ball wins in the starting winning area, the starting winning ball is detected by the starting winning ball detecting means, and a detection signal is input to the game control means 8.

The number of social return points at the present time is displayed on the social return point number display 14 and the number of JP points at the present time is displayed on the JP point number display 15. An upper limit is set for the number of points displayed by the JP point number display 15, and the number of overflows reaching the upper limit after reaching the upper limit is displayed by the overflow number display 16.

[0028] The JP island management device 4 has the
Based on the number of JP points and the number of overflows displayed on the point number display 15, the number of guaranteed big hits when a JP winning is generated is calculated. When a JP prize is generated, control is performed in the gaming machine 2 where the prize has occurred, to generate a probable change state in which the probability of occurrence of the specific game state (big hit state) is improved. Then, when the jackpot has occurred for the number of guaranteed jackpots calculated by the JP island management device 4, the probability change state ends and the normal jackpot occurrence probability is restored. By performing control to such a probable change state, a game value corresponding to the number of JP points and the number of overflows can be given to the player. The number of guaranteed jackpots at the time of the JP prize is displayed by the number-of-big-hits guaranteed number display 17a and is output to the lottery device 3 as a number information signal. In response to this, the lottery device 3 controls the number-of-times indicator 12 to display the number of guaranteed JP jackpots. If a JP winning signal is transmitted, the JP island management device 4 performs control to accumulate the number of occurrences of the JP winning today, based on the transmitted JP winning signal, and display the number of JP occurrences on the JP occurrence number display 17b.

It should be noted that the JP jackpot guaranteed number of times indicator 17a
Always displays the number of guaranteed big hits according to the number of JP points and the like.

When the JP island management device 4 receives the JP winning signal, the current JP point number display 15
Is output to the lottery device 3 including the information on the number of guaranteed jackpots according to the number of JP points and the number of overflows displayed in. In the lottery device 3, the received signal is transmitted to the corresponding game control means 8 of the pachinko gaming machine 2 via the input / output terminal 10 as a certain change command signal. In response to this, the game control means 8 controls the probable change state as described above, and terminates the probable change state and returns to the normal jackpot occurrence probability if the big hit occurs as many times as the big hit guaranteed number included in the received certain change command signal. Is performed.

The probable change big hit determination value is, for example, 7, 27, 47, 67,
87, 107, 127, 147, 167, 187, 20
7,227,247,267,287,307,327
It is. As a result of the comparison in S15, if the extracted random number matches any of the above-described probability-change big hit determination values, S
A determination of YES is made by 14 and a determination of NO is made by S14 when they do not match. If NO is determined in S14, the process proceeds to S16, in which a process of extracting a display symbol at the time of stopping the variable display device 99, that is, a random number for a stop symbol for determining a planned stop symbol, is performed.
Next, in S17, a process of determining a scheduled stop symbol based on the extracted random number is performed, and then the process proceeds to S36. If YES is determined in S14, the process proceeds to S18, in which a process of outputting a big hit signal to the lottery device 13 and the hall management computer is performed. In S19, a process of setting a big hit flag is skipped. A determination is made whether the external probable change flag is set. If the external probable change flag is not set, the process proceeds to S21, and it is determined whether or not the internal probable change flag is set. If the internal probable change flag is not set, the process proceeds to S26.

If the external probable change flag is set, the process proceeds to S28, and a process of adding "1" to the external limit counter is performed. The external limit counter is a counter for counting the number of executions of the jackpot control in the probable change state performed when a JP winning occurs. Next, the process proceeds to S29, and it is determined whether or not the value of the external limit counter has reached the upper limit value M. If not, the process proceeds to S26.
Then, the external probability change flag is cleared, M is cleared in S31, and the external limit counter is cleared in S32, and then the process proceeds to S26.

If the external probable change flag is not set and the internal probable change flag is set, the process proceeds to S22, in which the internal limit counter is incremented by "1". The internal limit counter is a counter for counting the number of jackpot control executed at the time of internal probability change when the game control means 8 generates a probability change big hit based on a winning start. Next, the process proceeds to S23, in which it is determined whether or not the internal limit counter has reached the upper limit value N. If not, the process proceeds to S26. Is performed, and the process proceeds to S26 after the process of clearing the internal limit counter is performed in S25.

In S26, a process of extracting a random number for a stopped symbol is performed. Then, based on the extracted random numbers, S
According to 27, a process of setting the scheduled stop symbol to left = middle = right is performed. This is because the scheduled stop symbol of the left variable display section is determined based on the random number for determining the scheduled stop symbol for the left variable display section among the random numbers extracted in S26, and the scheduled stop symbol of the middle variable display section and the right variable are determined. The control is performed so that the scheduled stop symbol on the display unit matches the left scheduled stop symbol.

Next, the program proceeds to S33, where it is determined whether or not the left scheduled stop symbol is a positively varying symbol. If the symbol is not a probable variable design, the process proceeds to S36. If the design is a probable variable design, that is, "7", the process proceeds to S34, in which a process of setting an internal probable change flag is performed. Proceed to S35a.

In S35a, it is determined whether or not the internal probable change flag is set. If the flag is set, the process proceeds to S36. If not, the process proceeds to S3.
Proceeding to 5b, a determination is made whether the internal probable change flag is set. If not set, S36
The process proceeds to step S35c if it is set,
A determination is made as to whether the scheduled stop symbol is a probable change end symbol. The probable change end symbol is a specific symbol for terminating the probable change state after the probable change state occurs once,
When the symbol is displayed on the variable display device 99, it is determined that the probable change state ends.

If the scheduled stop symbol is the symbol with the variable probability end, the process proceeds to S35d, where the internal variable flag is cleared, the internal limit counter is cleared, and then the process proceeds to S36. As described above, when the planned stop symbol becomes the symbol indicating the end of the variable probability in the internal variable state instead of the external variable state, the internal variable flag is cleared and the variable state is controlled to end.

In S36, it is determined whether or not a probable change command signal has been input. If not, the process proceeds to S39. However, if a probability change command signal is input from the lottery device 3, the process proceeds to S37, a process of setting an external probability change flag is performed, and the process proceeds to S38 to be input from the lottery device 3. A process of adding a value obtained by adding the guaranteed number of big hits included in the probability change command signal to the value of M at the present time to obtain a new M is performed. As a result, M used for the determination in S29 becomes the new value of M.

Next, proceeding to S39, a command signal for controlling the display of the variable display device 99 is outputted, and proceeding to S40, a command signal for stopping at the scheduled stop symbol is outputted, and S4 is outputted.
The process proceeds to 1 to determine whether or not the jackpot flag is set. If the flag is not set, the process returns as it is. If the flag is set, the process proceeds to S42.
After clearing the big hit flag, the variable winning ball device 98 is opened in S43 to execute big hit control.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the lottery device 3. At S44, it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been received.
Proceed to 3. On the other hand, if a big hit signal is received from the pachinko gaming machine 2, the process proceeds to S45, and a process of extracting the count value of the JP random counter is performed. This JP random counter is incremented by "1" every time the step S56 is executed. If the JP random counter is counted up from 0 and counted up to its upper limit (for example, 50), it is counted up again from 0. It is a thing to do again. Next, the process proceeds to S46, in which control for variably displaying the lottery display 11 is performed, and the process proceeds to S47, where it is determined whether or not the extracted value in S45 is a JP winning determination value (for example, “8”), and a determination of NO is made. Is performed, control is performed to stop and display the lottery display 11 with the off symbol in S48, and then the flow proceeds to S51. On the other hand, when the determination of YES is made in S47, the process proceeds to S49, in which control to stop the lottery display 11 is performed in "777", and the process proceeds to S50, in which the JP winning signal and the ID of the lottery device 3 are set to JP. After the process of outputting to the island management device 4 is performed, the process proceeds to S51. In S51,
It is determined whether or not the probability change command signal has been received. If not, the process proceeds to S53. If the probability change command signal is transmitted from the JP island management device 4, the process proceeds to S52 and the received probability change command is received. After the signal is output to the pachinko gaming machine 2, the process proceeds to S53. In S53, it is determined whether or not the JP jackpot guaranteed number of times information has been received. If the information has not been received, the process proceeds to S55.
If the JP jackpot guaranteed number of times information has been received from S, the process proceeds to S54, and processing for updating the current JP jackpot guaranteed number to the received new jackpot guaranteed number is performed. Then, the process advances to S55, for which the number of guaranteed jackpot hits is indicated by the frequency indicator 1
The control for displaying by 2 is performed.

Next, the process proceeds to S56, in which a process of adding and updating the JP random counter by "1" is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S57, where it is determined whether or not the probability input has been set. If not, the process returns to S44.
Proceeding to S8, the upper limit value of the JP random counter is changed according to the input value, and then the process returns to S44. Setting unit 1
3 is configured to be variably set in three stages of high probability, medium probability, and low probability. When the probability is set to medium probability, the upper limit of the JP random counter is set to, for example, 50, and is set to low probability. If the probability is high, it is 60, and if it is set to high probability, it is 40.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the JP island management device 4. By S59, the number of JP occurrences is cleared. The number of occurrences of this JP is the number of JPs that occurred on the JP island 4a where the JP island management device 4 is provided.
This is the cumulative number of winnings, and is cleared in S59 when business is started in the game arcade and the JP island management device 4 is turned on. Next, proceed to S60, JP
It is determined whether or not the addition signal has been input. If not, the process proceeds to S67. It is determined whether or not the JP winning signal and the ID have been received. If not, the process proceeds to S70, and the predetermined time has elapsed. A determination is made as to whether or not it has been done. The predetermined time is a determination as to whether a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed since the reception of the JP winning signal and the ID. As a result, when the JP winning signal and the ID are not received, S7
A determination of YES is made in accordance with 0, the processing in and after S70a is performed, a determination of NO is made in S76, and the process returns to S60. During the loop of this loop, JP from card unit
Is received, the determination at S60 is YES, the process proceeds to S60a, and a process of outputting the JP addition signal to the JP central management device 5 is performed. As described above, when five pulses of the addition signal from the card unit 1 are transmitted, a five-pulse signal is also output to the JP central management device 5 as the JP addition signal in S60a. Next, at S61, the current number of social return points S
KP is added to the value obtained by dividing the sum KA of the received JP addition signal by 10 and the sum is added to the new social return point number S
A process for setting KP is performed. For one pulse of the addition signal transmitted from the card unit 1, the addition value KA is determined to be, for example, 4 yen, and 10% of the addition value KA is cumulatively added as the number of social return points SKP.

Next, the process proceeds to S61a, in which a process of adding 9 KA / 20 to the number of jack point points JPP and making the value a new JPP is performed. Next, by S61b, the overflow point number OFP is 9 KA / 2.
0 is added to make the value a new OFP. Then, in S62, it is determined whether or not the JPP is the maximum value (for example, 60,000 yen). If not, the process proceeds to S66. As a result, 4.5% of the added value KA is cumulatively added as the number of JP points JPP.

On the other hand, if the number of JP points JPP has already reached the maximum value (for example, 60,000 yen), the process proceeds to S63, and it is determined whether or not the number of overflow points OFP has reached the maximum value. This maximum value is, for example, 6
10,000 yen x 8 = 480,000 yen. If the maximum value has not been reached, the process proceeds to S65, where OFP + JPP-the minimum guaranteed value (for example, 30,000 yen) is calculated, and that value is set as a new OFP.
Proceeding to 65a, a process for setting the JPP to the minimum guaranteed value is performed. On the other hand, if the OFP has already reached the maximum value, S6
Then, the process proceeds to step S4, where SKP + JPP-maximum value (60,000 yen) is calculated, the value is set as a new SKP, and the process of setting the JPP to the maximum value (60,000 yen) is performed in S64a. That is, when the number of overflow points OFP reaches the maximum value, the total amount of the added value KA is cumulatively added toward the social return.

Next, in S66, the number of JP occurrences is displayed on the JP occurrence number display 17b, the current number of social return points SKP is displayed on the social return point number display 14, and the current number of JP points JPP is displayed on the JP point. Control for displaying the number on the number display 15 is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S72, in which the number of lamps on the overflow number display 16 is equal to OF.
An operation of P / a predetermined number of units is performed. The predetermined number of units is:
In the present embodiment, it is 60,000 yen. Next, in step S73, the overflow number display 16 corresponds to the calculated lamp lighting number.
Is turned on, and the process proceeds to S74.

If a JP winning signal and an ID are transmitted from the lottery device 3 during the circulation of the loop of S60, 67, and 76, a determination of YES is made in S67, and a process of storing the received ID in S67 is performed. You. Next, S69
The processing for adding "1" to the number of JP occurrences is performed, and
The process proceeds to S70, in which it is determined whether a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. If not, the process returns to S67, but if it has, the process proceeds to S70a.

In S70a, it is determined whether or not the number of overflow points OFP is equal to or greater than a predetermined unit number (60,000 yen). If it is, the process proceeds to S70b, where the jackpot value JPK = The specified number of units (6
After subtracting (¥ 10,000) / the number of stored IDs, the process proceeds to S74. On the other hand, if NO is determined in S70a, S7
Proceed to 1.

In S71, the value obtained by dividing the current JPP by the number of stored IDs is converted into a jackpot value JPK to be given to the player, and then the flow proceeds to S74. As a result, the number of stored IDs is normally one, so
The process by b is JPK = predetermined unit number (60,000 yen) / 1, and the process by S71 is JPK = JPP / 1. On the other hand, the JP in which the JP island management device 4 is provided
In rare cases, the JP prize may occur almost simultaneously at the plurality of pachinko gaming machines 2 installed on the island 4a, and in such a case, the time period during which a NO determination is made in S70 (for example, 2 seconds) Then, since the JP winning is transferred from the lottery device 3 again and YES is determined in S67, the ID of the lottery device 3 which transmitted the JP winning signal is stored again in S68, and the JP is generated in S69. The number of times is incremented by “1” and the value becomes “2”. As a result, in S70b, JPK = predetermined unit number / 2, and in S71, JPP ← JPP / 2. By controlling in this way, when a JP prize occurs on the same JP island almost simultaneously,
By giving the JP prize privilege only to the player who has won the P prize, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the other player is dissatisfied.

At S74, the current JPP and OF
A process of calculating the number of guaranteed big hits corresponding to P is performed. In the state where the overflow lamp is not lit, if the current amount of the JPP is 30,000 yen, the number of guaranteed big hits is "5", and the number of guaranteed big hits is 36,000 yen, and the number of guaranteed big hits is 4.2. The guaranteed number of big hits is 7,000 for 10,000 yen, 8 for 48,000 yen, 9 for 54,000 yen, and 10 times after reaching 60,000 yen and the overflow lamp is turned on. .

Proceeding to S75, the J calculated by S74
The number of guaranteed jackpots for P is displayed as the number of guaranteed jackpots for JP 17
The display is controlled by a. Next, the process proceeds to S76, where it is determined whether or not the ID is stored. If not, the process returns to S60. On the other hand, if there is an ID storage, S7
Then, the process proceeds to step S7 in which a probability change command signal including the guaranteed number of big hits is output to the lottery device corresponding to the stored ID.

Next, the process proceeds to S77a, in which a JPK subtraction signal is output to the JP central management unit 5, and in S77b, the jackpot total point JPG = OFP + JPP-JPK.
A process of calculating the number of stored IDs is performed. this is,
This is a process of calculating the remaining jackpot total points by subtracting the jackpot value given to the player from the total of the number of overflow points and the number of jackpot points. Next, the process proceeds to S78, and it is determined whether or not the JPG is equal to or more than the minimum guaranteed value (30,000 yen). If it is, the process proceeds to S79, where OFP = JPG-the minimum guaranteed value (30,000 yen). ), The process proceeds to S80a.

On the other hand, if NO is determined in S78, the process proceeds to S80, where the OFP is cleared and then S80a
Proceed to. In S80a, the minimum guaranteed value of JPP (30,000 yen)
Then, the process of clearing JPG and clearing JPK is performed, and then returns to S60.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the JP central management apparatus 5. In S81, it is determined whether a JP addition signal has been received. If not, the process proceeds to S82, where it is determined whether a JPK subtraction signal has been received, and if not, S81 has been received. Return to If a JP addition signal is transmitted from the JP island management device 4 in the course of the loop of S81 and S82, S83
To the SKP corresponding to the received island and the added value KA of 1
Is added to the JPP corresponding to the received island.
Of 90% is added. Next, proceeding to S84, it is determined whether or not the JPP has exceeded the maximum value.
In this embodiment, the maximum value is 5 as described above.
It is 40,000 yen. If not exceeded, proceed to S86,
If it exceeds, the process proceeds to S85, in which the JPP is set to the maximum value, and the excess is added to the SKP. That is, when the JPP reaches the maximum value and is added more, all the added values KA are added to the social return point number SKP.

Next, the process proceeds to S86, where the added value KA is added to the total number of SKPs.
After the processing of adding 90% of the added value KA to the total number of JPPs is performed, the process proceeds to S87.

On the other hand, if a subtraction signal is transmitted from the JP island management device 4 during the circulation of the loop of S81 and S82, the process proceeds to S92, and the process of subtracting and updating the JPP corresponding to the received island is performed. Then, the process of subtracting and updating the total number of JPPs is performed, and then the process proceeds to S87.

In S87, a process of displaying the SKP and JPP of each island is performed.
Processing for displaying the total number of PPs is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S89, and it is determined whether or not the SKP transmission time has come. This SKP is the number of social return points, and is a value that is returned to social welfare and the like, and must be finally transmitted to a third party organization such as a prepaid card issuing company. Thus, in S89, it is determined whether or not the transmission time has come. A specific example of the transmission timing is, for example, at the end of business hours of a day, at the end of business hours on a certain day of the week, or at the end of business hours on a certain day of a month. If the transmission time has not arrived, S81
Returns to S90, but if it is determined that the transmission time has come, S90
The processing for transmitting the total number of SKPs to the third party is performed.

Next, in S91, the process of clearing the total number of SKPs and clearing the SKP of each island is performed.
Return to 1.

Next, another embodiment will be described. In the embodiment described above, the variable display for the lottery of the JP prize is performed by the lottery display 11 provided in the lottery device 3, but in other embodiments, the variable display is provided in the pachinko gaming machine 2. The variable display device 99 displays a variable display for winning a JP. Therefore, the combination of “JAC” symbols (JP symbols) can be displayed on the variable display device 99 of the pachinko gaming machine 2. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a control operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to another embodiment. Steps that perform the same operations as those of the control operation of the pachinko gaming machine illustrated in FIG. 5 are given the same step numbers. . Here, points different from the control operation shown in FIG. 5 will be mainly described.

As a result of the comparison between the extracted random number value and the jackpot determination value, it is determined that the jackpot is a jackpot, and a jackpot flag is set in S19.
A determination is made as to whether or not a loss signal has been input. If not, the process proceeds to S101, and it is determined whether or not a probability change command signal has been input from the lottery device 3, and if not, S1 has been determined.
Return to 00. The lottery device 3 that has received the jackpot signal output based on S18 performs a lottery as to whether or not to generate a JP winning, as described later, and returns the lottery result to the pachinko gaming machine 2. If the returned signal is a probable change command signal for generating a JP winning, S
Proceeding to 102, the external probable change flag is set, and S10
After changing the planned stop symbol to all JP symbol by S6, S10
Proceed to 3. On the other hand, if the returned signal is a JP deviation signal, the process proceeds to S103. In S103, it is determined whether or not the external probable change flag is set.
If it is not set, the processing from S21 is performed.

On the other hand, if the external probable change flag has been set in S102, the flow advances to S104 to add the guaranteed number of jackpots included in the probable change command signal to the current value of M which defines the upper limit of the external limit counter. A process for converting the set value to a new value of M is performed. After that, the processing after S28 is performed.

After the clear processing of the internal limit counter in S35 has been performed, in FIG.
Although the process of 38 has been performed, in this alternative embodiment, the process directly proceeds to S39 without performing the process, and the variable display control is executed.

By controlling in this way, when it is determined in advance that a jackpot is to be generated, the CPU waits for a lottery result from the lottery device 3 to determine whether or not to generate a JP prize. In the case of a lottery result that does not generate a prize, control is performed after a jackpot is determined in advance in the pachinko gaming machine 2 as usual, but if the lottery result is that a JP prize is to be generated, it is variable. After the control of stopping all the variable display portions of the display device 99 with the JP symbol is performed, the control of the large-variable hit with the JP prize is executed.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the lottery device 3 according to another embodiment. Steps that perform the same operation as the control operation of the lottery device 3 shown in FIG. 6 are assigned the same step numbers, and here, differences from the flowchart of FIG. 6 will be mainly described.

After the extraction processing of the JP random counter in S45 is performed, the process directly proceeds to S47, and it is determined whether or not the extracted value is the JP winning determination value. If the extracted value is not the JP winning determination value, the process proceeds to S110. , And a process of returning a JP loss signal to the pachinko gaming machine 2 is performed, and then the process proceeds to S51.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S47 that the extracted value is the JP winning determination value, the process directly proceeds to S50, where JP is determined.
After the processing of outputting the winning signal and the ID to the JP island management device is performed, the processing of S51 and thereafter is executed.

As a result, in the lottery device 3 according to another embodiment, if a jackpot signal is received from a pachinko gaming machine, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to generate a JP prize, and the lottery result is converted to a JP deviation signal or a probability change. A process of returning to the pachinko gaming machine 2 as a command signal is performed.

Next, features, modifications, and the like of the embodiment of the invention described above will be enumerated below. (1) In the above-described embodiment, if a JP prize is generated, a value is given to the player by executing the probability change control by the number of guaranteed jackpots according to the number of JP points JPP at that time. In addition, the cash exchange rate of the game result value such as prize balls and points acquired with the JP prize
You may make it improve according to the number of P points.

When the number of overflow points OFP reaches the upper limit, the addition of KA to both the number of JP points JPP and the number of social return points SKP may be stopped. Alternatively, a target value may be set for the number of social return points SKP, and when the target value is reached, the addition of KA to the number of social return points SKP may be stopped thereafter.

(2) Although the JPP and SKP are displayed in the monetary amount, they may be displayed in a frequency instead. For example, the JPP is displayed in units of 3.6 yen, so that 3.6 yen is displayed as one frequency, and the number of social return points SKP is added in units of 0.4 yen. 0.4 yen is displayed as one frequency.

The overflow number display 16 is a display that displays 60,000 yen by turning on one lamp, but when the overflow number OFP reaches 30,000 yen, the lamp is blinked and displayed to 60,000 yen. The flashing lamp may be switched to the lighting display at the reaching stage.

(3) The variable display device 99 constitutes a variable display device whose display state can be changed. The pachinko gaming machine 2 has a variable display device whose display state can be changed, and when the display result of the variable display device becomes a predetermined specific display mode, controls to a specific game state advantageous to the player. A possible gaming machine is configured. The card unit 1 reads recorded information on a recording medium on which information capable of specifying a value as a price for the purchase price of the player is recorded, and the gaming machine uses the value specified by the recorded information. A recording medium processing device that enables a game is configured. The game control means 8 controls a game state of the gaming machine and constitutes a game control means for outputting a command signal for controlling the variable display device. The display control means 7 constitutes a display control means for controlling the variable display device based on the command signal output from the game control means. The variable prize ball device 98 constitutes a variable prize ball device that can be changed between a first state advantageous to the player and a second state unfavorable to the player. The first state of the variable prize ball device 98 may be a state in which opening and closing are continuously repeated, and the second state of the variable prize ball device 98 is a state in which hitting can be made but it is difficult to win. It may be.

The ROMs 29, 24, 34, 39, and 44 constitute program storage means for storing control programs. CPUs 28, 23, 33, 38,
The control center means 43 performs a control operation according to the control program stored in the program storage means. RAMs 27, 22, 32, 37,
The working area means 42 stores data necessary for the control operation of the control center means and functions as a working area of the control center means. The backup power supplies 36 and 41 constitute data backup means for backing up data stored in the working area means so as not to be accidentally erased.

(4) In the present embodiment, the probable change state in which the probability of occurrence of a jackpot has been improved has been described as a state in which a jackpot is likely to be generated. The control may be such that the number of variable display operations of the display device 99 is increased. JP point number display 15 or 21 as an example of an addition status display means for displaying an addition status display means for displaying a value addition condition based on satisfaction of a value addition condition established by using a predetermined amount of the common card.
However, as the value addition status display means, for example, even after reaching the above-mentioned upper limit (60,000 yen), a display for adding and updating the value each time the value addition condition is satisfied is displayed in JP. You may comprise by providing separately from the point number display 15,15.

In the present embodiment, when the JP winning is generated, a predetermined unit number (60,000 yen) is deducted from the JPG when the overflow lamp is lit, and when the overflow lamp is not lit. Is J from JPG
We try to withdraw the PP, but instead, JP
Only the value corresponding to the guaranteed number of JP jackpots guaranteed in the gaming machine in which the prize has occurred may be deducted. Specifically, 30,000 yen when the number of guaranteed big hits is 5 times, 36,000 yen when 6 times are guaranteed, and 4.2 when 7 times.
10,000 yen, 48,000 yen for 8 times, and 5 for 9 times.
In the case of 40,000 yen or 10 times, 60,000 yen may be deducted. Then, the difference between the JPP and the withdrawn amount may be added to the minimum guaranteed value (30,000 yen) and displayed on the JP point number display 15 after the withdrawal.

In the pachinko gaming machine 2 according to the present embodiment, when the internal probable change flag is set and the internal probable change state occurs, when the probable change end symbol is stopped and displayed by the variable display device 99, the internal probable change state is displayed. Instead, the specific game state (big hit state) is set to, for example, 5 once the internal probability change flag is set.
If it does not occur, the internal probable change state may not be terminated.

In the pachinko gaming machine 2 described above, the external winning flag is set and the JP winning is generated even during the external changing state, but the JP winning is not generated during the external changing state. May be.

Specific Example of Means for Solving the Problems The block diagram shown in FIG. 1 constitutes a gaming machine including a gaming machine in which a game is played by a player's operation. S61
The steps a and S65 constitute a value accumulating storage means capable of accumulatively adding and storing a value when a predetermined value addition condition is satisfied. The lottery device 3 constitutes lottery means for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to give a special value to a player when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a game with the gaming machine. S50, S51, S52, S67-
S71, S74 to S77, the game control means 8 sets the value stored in the value accumulation storage means to a predetermined upper limit when the result of the lottery by the lottery means gives the special value. Control means is provided for performing control for deduction within the game and giving to the player.
