[0001]

The present invention relates to a plurality of variable displays.
A variable display device that can variably display multiple pieces of identification information
Related to a game machine provided with the game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional gaming machine, for example, a pachinko gaming machine is provided with a variable display device capable of executing a variable display game based on a plurality of pieces of identification information, and a result of stopping the variable display game performed by the variable display device. There is known a mode in which a variable winning device is controlled to be opened when a big hit symbol is obtained so that a player can acquire a large number of payouts.
In such a pachinko game machine, when a start condition such as a game ball winning in a start winning area provided in the gaming section is established, for example, left, middle,
In each of the three variable display units on the right, a plurality of identification information such as numerals “0 to 9” and symbols of “☆” and “★” are variably displayed (scrolled) at an invisible speed. When the variable display game is started and a stop condition such as the elapse of a predetermined time is satisfied, the variable display of the three variable display units is sequentially stopped, and the stop result mode of the three variable display units is “0,
0,0 ”to“ 9,9,9 ”,“ ☆, ☆, ☆ ”,“ ★,
When a predetermined big hit symbol such as “★, ★” or the like is formed, a big hit state for opening and controlling the variable winning device is generated. By the way, when the variable display game is started and, for example, the three variable display units are stopped and displayed at predetermined time intervals in the order of the left variable display unit → the middle variable display unit → the right variable display unit, In the stop process, for example, “7, 7, □” (note that “□”
Represents a state in which the right variable display section is variably displaying and has not yet been stopped and displayed. ), The stop display is performed on the two variable display sections in the pattern that can be the big hit, and the stop display on the remaining one variable display section is undecided, that is, a general “reach” is applied. When the state is changed, the fluctuation display of the right variable display section is changed to a slow fluctuation (slow scroll) that can be watched, and the slow fluctuation is continued for a relatively long time, so that a sense of expectation for the establishment of the big hit is obtained. To inflate the thrill of the game.

[0003]

However, the trend,
In a rapidly changing pachinko machine, if the scroll mode at the time of the so-called reach of the variable display game is a single pattern, the game content becomes monotonous, which is one of the causes of getting tired of the player, and a big hit. Since it is not possible to sufficiently increase the expectation of the occurrence of the game, the number of customers at the game store may decrease, and this may have a great effect on the profit of the game store.

[0004] The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, the change the scroll mode when Reach

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 41 show an embodiment in which a pachinko machine as a gaming machine according to the present invention is applied to a prepaid card type pachinko machine. In the present specification (including the drawings), the pachinko balls are described (displayed in the drawings) as balls or balls (for example, prize balls, hit balls), but any of these are basically pachinko balls. It is expressed as appropriate according to how to handle pachinko balls (how to process), and the expressions are mixed, but the ball and the sphere are not different concepts, but are used properly according to the convenience of explanation It's just FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing the entire pachinko machine. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a pachinko machine, and a similar number of pachinko machines 1 are installed in a game arcade in a predetermined number. The pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is roughly divided into a pachinko machine 2 (game machine) and a card-type ball lending machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a ball lending machine) as a game medium lending device arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 2. ) 3;
These are installed in pairs.

The ball lending machine 3 is formed in a vertically long type having a relatively narrow width, and has a certain depth. The pachinko machine 2 is arranged beside the pachinko machine 2 so that the convenience of the player can be achieved. Ball rental machine 3 is pachinko machine 2
Although it is possible to separate the pachinko machine 2 and the ball lending machine 3 at least on the signal, it is not possible to play the game. ing. The card lending machine 3 has a built-in card reader, and the front panel 4 of the ball lending machine 3 displays a card insertion slot 5 into which a card of the prepaid card type corresponding to the card reader is inserted and the remaining frequency of the card. A card residual number display 6 is provided. The card insertion slot 5 is capable of displaying the acceptance of a card. For example, a card acceptance indicator 7 is provided above the card insertion slot 5.
The card reception indicator 7 is composed of a light emitting diode or the like, and indicates that the reception of the card is valid.

The remaining card number indicator 6 is composed of, for example, three rows using 7-segment light emitting diodes, and displays the remaining card number of the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 5 as one.
Displayed in units of degrees up to the 00th digit. In the frequency unit, one degree is equivalent to 100 yen, and the remaining frequency is displayed to the player by calculation of degree / 100 yen. Therefore, when a 3,000 yen prepaid card is inserted, for example, 30 degrees is displayed on the card residual number display 6. Thus, in this embodiment, in addition to bringing in pachinko balls, a game can be started by inserting a prepaid card into the card insertion slot 5 to secure necessary balls. The pachinko machine 2 has a frame-shaped front frame 11 as a portion visible on the front side.
Disposed in the opening of the frame-shaped front frame 11 and the glass 12

Is supported by the frame-shaped front frame 11 so as to be openable and closable.

The front display panel 14 is formed in a curved shape such that the front side protrudes slightly and rises slightly. The front display panel 14 has an upper plate 21 for receiving pachinko balls and a card frequency indicator ( A card balance display) 22, a ball lending button (conversion button) 23, a card discharge button (return button) 24, and a ball lending possible display 25 composed of LEDs are provided. Note that the ball lending possible display is not limited to the LED, and may be, for example, an elongated display lamp. One end of the front display panel 14 is supported by the frame-shaped front frame 11 so as to be openable and closable. 26 is the upper plate 2
This is a push button for opening and closing a passage connecting both balls in order to transfer one ball to a ball storage tray 32 described later. The card frequency display 22 is composed of, for example, three rows using seven-segment light emitting diodes, and displays the balance of the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 5 in units of hundreds. In the frequency unit, one degree is equivalent to 100 yen, and the remaining frequency is displayed to the player by calculation of degree / 100 yen. Therefore, for example, when a 3,000 yen prepaid card is inserted, it is displayed on the card frequency display 22 as 30 degrees.

In this embodiment, the card frequency indicator 22
Although three rows are formed using light emitting diodes of seven segments, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured using dot LEDs, liquid crystals, fluorescent display tubes, and the like. This is the same for the card residual number display 6. Further, the card frequency display 22 may be combined with the card remaining frequency display 6. The ball lending button 23 also serves as a ball discharging device (to perform a prize ball, which will be described later) on the back of the pachinko machine 2 in units of pachinko balls in units of once within the range of the balance of the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 5. ) Is a switch pressed by the player to rent out and lend.
In this case, the display of the state in which the pachinko balls can be lent is performed by the ball lending possible display 25. If the pachinko balls can be lent out, the entire ball lending button 23 may be shining.

On the other hand, if the pachinko balls are not in a state in which the pachinko balls can be lent, the ball lending possible display 25 is turned off, and even if the ball lending button 23 is pressed, the pachinko balls are not discharged for lending. When the ball lending button 23 is pressed once, pachinko balls (for example, 25 pachinko balls) corresponding to one time are lent out and supplied to the upper plate 21. When pressed twice, pachinko balls are lent out for the equivalent of twice. The card ejection button 24 is for pulling out the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 5 from the card insertion slot 5. In this embodiment, the player presses this button when he wants to end the game. Thereby, the prepaid card is pulled out again from the card insertion slot 5. The player has the prepaid card withdrawn and has the option of starting the game on another pachinko machine or, for the moment, ending the game.

The front operation panel 15 has an ashtray 31 formed on the left side thereof and a shape such that the center of the front surface protrudes forward, and the inside of the protruding portion is a ball storage tray (recipient tray) 32. ing. The ball storage tray 32 serves to receive a prize ball when the upper plate 21 is full of pachinko balls, and serves to temporarily store the ball. Also,
The front operation panel 15 is provided with a ball removal lever 33 and a firing operation handle 34 of the firing device. The ball-drawing lever 33 is for pulling out the balls stored in the ball-storing tray 32 to the outside and below. The ball can be discharged downward. The firing operation handle 34 is used to operate a firing device for bouncing one of the pachinko balls arranged in a line at a firing position one by one into a game area on the front of the game board 13. On the other hand, the upper part of the frame-shaped front frame 11 of the pachinko machine 2 is sequentially arranged from the left side,
A prize ball discharge indicator 41 that lights up when a prize ball is discharged, a ball discharge indicator 42 that lights up when a lending ball is discharged, and a completion lamp 43 that lights up when a hit state occurs in the pachinko machine 2.
Is provided. The metal frame 12 is supported by the front frame 11 so as to be openable and closable, and is normally locked to the front frame 11 by a locking device. When the metal frame 12 is opened, the locking holes 51
The lock device is unlocked and opened by inserting a predetermined key into the lock device and rotating the lock device.

Next, the game board 13 is an area for judging out or safe while the shot pachinko balls are dropped from above. When the balls enter the winning opening and are effectively safe, a predetermined number of prizes are provided. The ball is discharged from a ball discharge device described later, and is supplied to the upper plate 21. Further, even if the ball is fired by operating the firing operation handle 34, when the ball becomes foul, the pachinko ball returns to the firing position or is discharged to the ball storage tray 32. Here, the game area of the game board 13 includes a special symbol display device to which the present invention is applied, in which a game is performed by changing the symbol content of the special symbol display device. Any configuration may be used as long as it belongs to the "third type". For example, in the present embodiment, a type belonging to the "first type" shown in FIG. 2 is used. Therefore, the application of the present invention is not limited to the type belonging to the “first type” shown in FIG. 2, but can be widely applied to the type belonging to the “third type”.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the game board 13. In FIG. 2, around the game area, a ball that has been bounced is guided to an upper portion of the game area, and an out-ball collection port 77 described later.
A rail 61 having a function of guiding to the other is arranged. A special symbol display device (so-called accessory device) 63 (variable display device) having a movable variable display 62 mechanically displaceable at the center is disposed substantially at the center of the game area. Below the special symbol display device 63, a tulip-type ordinary electric start-up port (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “generic power”) 64 is arranged, and a first ball that does not accept a game ball depending on the operation result of the special symbol display device 63. A variable winning device (a so-called attacker, which is a large winning opening) as a large winning opening that changes from the state to the second state that is easy to accept is arranged. The variable winning device 65 corresponds to a special variable winning device. A normal symbol display (hereinafter, referred to as a general symbol display as appropriate) is provided below the normal electric starting port 64.
The symbol display 64a is usually composed of 9-segment LEDs, and can display 20 types of numbers or symbols (A, B, C,...) In the range of 0 to 19. The ordinary symbol display 64a corresponds to an ordinary symbol display device.

The special symbol display device 63 has a normal electric starting port 6.
When the ball wins No. 4 (however, the timing of the start-up memory will be described later), the content of the special symbol of the variable display 62 is changed, and the symbol is stopped in a specific stop mode (for example, the state of the big-hit jackpot: "777"). "), The variable winning device (attacker) 65 is opened. Opening of the variable winning device (attacker) 65 corresponds to generating a special game state related to the special variable winning device. The variable display 62 has, for example, large-sized LEDs arranged in three rows, and these LEDs have numerals or symbols (A, B, C, etc.).
Is displayed. In the following description, the specific stop mode is simply referred to as a big hit state. The detailed configuration of the special symbol display device 63 will be described later.

Above the variable display 62, four special figure switch storage displays (corresponding to a so-called starting memory display) 6
6 is provided, and the special figure switch memory display 66 indicates that the number of the winning balls has been stored within four ranges when the normal electric starting port 64 wins a ball. Here, a big hit within a range in which four balls won in the so-called starting port (in this embodiment, the normal electric starting port 64) is stored for four balls (hereinafter, referred to as a starting storage range) is usually a pure reaming channel (or It may be simply referred to as a ream. According to this, the number of payouts to the player is remarkably increased. Above the variable display 62, a probability variation determination indicator (another game display device) 91 and a probability variation number determination indicator (another game display device) 92 are arranged, each of which is a 7-segment LED.
And symbols (numerals) can be displayed in the range of 0-9. In addition, symbols (for example, A, B, C) can be displayed. The probability variation determination display 91 and the probability variation number determination display 92 play a game different from the variable game that generates the big hit game by the special symbol display device 63, and constitute another game means 93. The operations of the probability change determination display 91 and the probability change number determination display 92 are controlled by the accessory CPU 301 described later, and the accessory CPU 301 constitutes another game control means.

The probability variation determination indicator 91 and the probability variation number determination indicator 92 are normally used for performing variation control of the jackpot probability as described below. That is, the probability variation determination display 91 starts the symbol rotation at the same time as the special symbol display device 63 becomes a big hit symbol, and a specific number (for example,
When the game stops at "7" or "3"), a game in which a change in the jackpot probability is determined is performed. Other than a specific number (for example,
Stopping at "0"), the change in the jackpot probability is not determined. On the other hand, the probability change number display 92 starts symbol rotation after the symbol on the probability change determination display 91 stops, and here, the probability change number is drawn, the probability change number is determined and displayed. is there. For example, when "7" is displayed, the number of times of probability change is seven, and when "3" is displayed, the number of times of probability change is three. In addition, the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 can also display the remaining number of probability fluctuation times. For example, when the probability fluctuation frequency is seven times, after one big hit occurs, “6” is set as the remaining probability fluctuation frequency. Is displayed. When the remaining number of times of probability change becomes “0”, the probability change stops and returns to the original low probability. Note that, as described above, the probability variation determination indicator 91 and the probability variation number determination indicator 9
Not only in the case of determining the fluctuation of the jackpot probability using the second game means 93 as a separate game means 93, for example, the jackpot probability is changed by a jackpot symbol (for example, a lucky jackpot symbol) of the special symbol display device 63 in another mode. When performing such control, the probability variation determination indicator 91 and the probability variation number determination indicator 92 may be used as display means for displaying that the probability variation has been determined and the probability variation number.

In this case, the indicators 91 and 92 are merely display means and not separate game means. Then, the special symbol display device 63 constitutes another game means. When the jackpot probability changes, the determination of the change is displayed on the probability change determination display 91. For example, when the jackpot probability is increased after the end of the jackpot, a number is displayed on the probability change determination display 91 simultaneously with the occurrence of the jackpot. This number indicates the number of times the jackpot probability increases after the jackpot. Further, the number of times of probability change is displayed on the probability change number determination display 92. On the other hand, the probability fluctuation determination indicator 91
Of course, it is also possible to execute the above-mentioned separate game using both the probability variation number determination display device 92 and the special symbol display device 63. At this time, both constitute another game means. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability variation determination display 91 and the probability variation number determination display 92 have a function of displaying the determination of the number of repetitions of the big hit (repeated chan). That is, when the number of repetitions of the big hit is determined, the probability change determination display 91 displays the number of times, and the probability change number determination display 92 sequentially decrements and displays the remaining number of the repetitions of the big hit. Further, as will be described later, a modified game in which a separate game for determining the number of repetitions of the jackpot is determined using the probability variation determination display 91 and the probability variation number determination display 92 can also be performed. On the side of the special symbol display device 63 is a general symbol starting gate (a normal symbol starting gate,
Hereafter, general-purpose gates 67 and 68 are disposed, and the general-purpose starting gates 67 and 68 each have a gate through which only one ball can pass. The symbol (for example, a number) of the ordinary symbol display 64a arranged in the mouth 64 is changed, and when the numeral becomes a predetermined specific symbol (for example, “7”), the tulip of the ordinary electric start port 64 is electrically operated. Let it open for a certain period of time. Normally, the tulip of the electric start port 64 is normally closed, but is controlled to open under a certain condition as described above. The opening time of the tulip is variably controlled as will be described in detail later.

In addition, general winning openings 69, 70 are provided on the lower left and right sides of the special symbol display device 63. Further, a plurality of hitting direction converting members 71 to 76 called windmills are rotatably installed at appropriate positions in the game area, and a large number of obstacle nails (not shown) are planted. in addition,
An out ball collecting port 77 is formed at the lower center of the game area. On the other hand, a reach lamp 81, side lamps 82a and 82b, decorative lamps 83a and 83b, and a game state notification lamp 84 are provided at appropriate positions around the game board 13. The reach lamp 81 blinks when the display content of the variable display 62 of the special symbol display device 63 is in the reach state to increase the sense of expectation to the player, and when a big hit occurs, an appropriate display state suitable for the big hit (For example,
The number of blinks changes, etc.) and the effect is aimed at. The side lamps 82a and 82b and the decoration lamps 83a and 83b are appropriately lit or blinked according to the content of the game to enhance the sense of reality of the game.

A game state notification lamp (corresponding to a notification means) 84 is used when a lucky big hit symbol or a special lucky big hit symbol occurs, or when the occurrence probability of the big hit symbol is changed from a low probability to a high probability after the end of the big hit game. (Simultaneously changing the probability of hitting the normal figure or changing the probability of hitting the normal figure alone), When the probability up state is repeatedly controlled, When the probability change is newly controlled from the beginning Can be displayed.
The probability per ordinary symbol is the probability that the symbol of the ordinary symbol indicator 64a becomes a specific symbol. The display of each mode may be performed by, for example, finely dividing the game state notification lamp 84 and mounting a plate on its surface so that each content can be understood, and the corresponding plate may be lit brightly, or the game state may be displayed. The notification lamp 84 may be distinguished by changing the blinking mode. In the latter case, the notification may be performed in combination with voice synthesis from a speaker (corresponding to a notification unit) 111. The gaming state notification lamp 84 includes, for example, a prize ball discharge indicator 41, a ball lending discharge indicator 42, and a completion lamp 43 which are arranged above the frame-shaped front frame 11 of the pachinko machine 2.
May be used, or a gaming state notification lamp 84 may be provided at these locations. Further, a gaming state notification lamp 84 may be newly installed on the pachinko machine 2 as a separate member.

The base frame 110 is formed from an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin, and is mounted on a mounting frame fixed to the back side of the front frame 11 of the pachinko machine 2. Various unit components such as a storage tank 101, a guideway 102, a relay board (external terminal board) 103, a ball discharging device 104, a discharge control circuit board 105, a ball pulling cover 106, Object control circuit board 1
07, a mounting adapter 108, and the like are mounted (for example, fixed by a one-touch claw member), and these various unit components and the base frame 110 are collectively referred to as a back mechanism panel 112.

The storage tank 101 stores balls before being discharged beforehand. The shortage of the number of balls in the storage tank 101 is detected by a replenishment sensor (not shown). Is replenished. The ball in the storage tank 101 is guided by the guide path 102 and the ball discharging device 104
Is discharged by. The guide path 102 is not particularly limited, but is designed to discharge a large amount of balls in a short time.
A ball leveling member for preventing weight of the ball and a standby ball detector (both not shown) are provided in the middle of the strip. Further, such a two-row configuration is the same for the inside of the ball discharging device 104. The relay board 103 relays the input of AC power and the transmission and reception of signals between the hall management device and the like. In this embodiment, for example, a normal jackpot symbol, a lucky jackpot symbol,
It is also used as a notification terminal that relays a signal for reporting information on the occurrence of a special lucky jackpot symbol and the result of another game, as well as information on a continuous jackpot (continuous chan game). In addition, information such as the change of the big hit probability and the ordinary hit probability is relayed, and information such as a state in which each probability change is repeatedly controlled. The discharge control circuit board 105 performs various controls necessary for discharging the ball, and the accessory control circuit board 107 performs various controls necessary for the operation of the accessory on the game board 13. Also, the jackpot probability of the special symbol display device 63 and the normal symbol indicator 64a
A probability setting switch for changing and setting the specific symbol probability (probability per ordinary symbol) is built in, and the switch insertion port 121 of the probability setting switch is exposed on the front side of the accessory control circuit board 107. The probability setting switch may change and set only the big hit probability.

To be able to easily change the jackpot probability of 3 from outside,
It has three contacts. Similarly, the normal contact probability has three contact points so that it can be easily changed from the outside into three stages, for example, 1/5, 1/10, and 1/20. Each switch may be linked, or may be independently adjustable. The contact of the probability setting switch can be operated by a person in charge of the hall, and the set value is displayed on a predetermined display, but after a certain period of time after setting, it disappears and is kept secret so that it can not be seen from the outside. ing. In addition,
The change of the big hit probability or the normal hit probability of the special symbol display device 63 is not limited to the above-described three stages, and may be other changes. When the accessory control circuit board 107 is larger than that shown in FIG.
It is a support member for mounting the accessory control circuit board, and is fixed to the base frame 110 so that the large accessory control circuit board can be easily attached to the base frame 110.
The firing circuit board 109 performs various controls necessary for firing the ball, and a base of the firing control circuit is housed in a predetermined case. The speaker 111 has sound effects necessary for the game (for example,
Sound effects associated with the discharge of balls) and artificial synthetic sounds, and notifies the player by generating various sounds according to the game state such as reach and big hits, the number of discharged balls, the prize mode, and the lending of balls. .

Also, in this embodiment, when the speaker 111 generates a lucky big hit symbol or a special lucky big hit symbol, or when the occurrence probability of the big hit symbol is changed from a low probability to a high probability after the big hit game ends (simultaneously, That the probability has been changed or that the probable hit perception has been changed alone), and the probability up state has been repeatedly controlled for the big hit probability and the permissible hit probability. The respective modes at the time of the control, and further, the modes of the continuous big hit (repeated chan game) are notified by a voice synthesis sound, a sound effect and the like. This notification may be performed in combination with the game state notification lamp 84. Note that the control circuit board is an integrated board of a control circuit (that is, a board that realizes the function of the control circuit) and a box-shaped metal or resin chassis box that houses the board. It is used as a concept that includes
The ball shift cover 106 closes a central opening that is largely opened at the center of the base frame 110, and the central opening is a space for mounting the special symbol display device 63.
In addition, the rear of the ball-adjusting cover 106 is formed so as to protrude, and has a structure that protrudes rearward largely as compared with the rear surfaces of the discharge control circuit board 105 and the accessory control circuit board 107.

Immediately before the variable display (left) 62L, the variable display (middle) 62M, and the variable display (right) 62R shift to a state of "222" as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the doll is placed on the beer mug. And the mug unit 171 and the doll unit 172 are both in a certain inclined state (a state of falling backward when viewed from the player). At this time, the beer bottle section 203a has already returned to the original state (upright state).

When a big hit actually occurs, the variable display (left) 62L, the variable display (middle) 62M, and the variable display (right) 62R stop at "222". As shown in FIG. 11C, the result of the variable display (middle) 62M is further scrolled to "3" (or scrolled further than "3"). At this time, the mug part 171 and the doll part 172 which have been in a certain inclined state return to the original upright state again. Thus, the variable display (left) 62L and the variable display (middle) 62

It relays a signal for transmitting information to the hall management device, and is arranged on the relay board 103. Note that a signal for transmitting the information in which the general symbol display 64a has become a specific symbol or the information in which each probability has changed may be relayed. Large winning opening solenoid 331 is a variable winning device (attacker) 65
When the special symbol display device 63 is in a big hit state, the special winning opening solenoid 331 is excited for a fixed time or a fixed number of balls in each cycle on condition of V winning, and the attacker 65 is opened. Special symbol display 63

Next, a system related to the display CPU 302 will be described. The display CPU 302 is an accessory CPU.
Special symbol display device 6 receiving command and data from 301
In addition to performing control for variably operating the display symbols of the third variable display 62, a ROM 351 storing a control program, display symbol data, and the like, a temporary storage of data necessary for setting and control of a work area, and the like are provided. RAM3 to do
52 is built-in. The display CPU 302 is supplied with necessary clocks and power from a frequency dividing circuit 313 and a power supply circuit 314. Further, the display CPU 302 outputs a signal to the driver 354 via the bus line 353, and the driver 354 drives a signal input from the display CPU 302 via the bus line 353 to generate a drive signal, and performs variable display. Output to the unit 62. Each of the above circuits including the CPU 301 for the accessory is realized by a board unit called an accessory control circuit board 107 including a microcomputer arranged at a predetermined position on the back side of the pachinko machine 2. Further, the board unit of the microcomputer exchanges control signals and data with the ball rental machine 3, island facilities, a management device of a game arcade, and the like. The display CPU 302 is provided in a display circuit (not shown) separate from the accessory control circuit board 107, and the display circuit is arranged on the back surface of the casing 160 of the special symbol display device 63.

Next, each of the above-described CPUs 301 and 3
02 and FIG. 13 show the procedures of various controls performed by FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. According to CPU 301 for character
The control is started simultaneously with turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1.
Process is repeated as long as the power is on.
The main routine to be executed and each other subroutine
is there.Main routine  First, the main routine (so-called general flow)
This will be described with reference to FIG. This routine was
After turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 as described above,
More specifically, the reset wait process described later is performed for 2 ms.
Every time, it is repeated with a hardware interrupt.

When the main routine is started, it is first determined in step S10 whether or not the power is turned on. In this step, the state of the RAM 312 is checked. And
If the power is turned on for the first time, the process proceeds to step S12 to perform initialization processing, specifically, to clear the RAM 312, and to initialize the symbol on the variable display 62 (for example, “12
3)) is set. In addition, for example, setting of a flag,
The output port 315 is reset, a subroutine is initialized, and the like. Next, the process proceeds to step S14.
The result of step S12 is subjected to pattern storage in the RAM 312 and check data is set. After that, the process waits for reset in step S16, and the main routine is repeated by a hardware interrupt every 2 ms.

On the other hand, if it is not the first power-on in step S10, that is, since the power has already been turned on in the second and subsequent routines, the process branches to NO this time, and the same pattern storage in the RAM 312 is performed in step S18. I do. At this time, for example, check data as a result of checking the state of the RAM 312 is set. Next, the process proceeds to step S20 to perform a switch input process.
In this switch input processing, for example, logical conversion from various detection switches and chattering prevention processing are performed. Next, it is determined in step S22 whether an error has occurred. As an error, for example, a variable winning device 6 as a grand winning opening
There is a counting error of the winning balls and a jamming error such as discharged balls. If an error has occurred, the process proceeds to step S24, in which an error flag is set, and in step S26, random number update processing / timer and port output processing are executed. This is to update the random number for determining the display symbol of the variable display 62, and to perform the processing necessary for the mechanical operation and the generation of the sound effect. The details of the processing will be described later in a subroutine. . Then, step S30
, And the main routine is repeated by a hardware interrupt every 2 ms.

On the other hand, if no error has occurred in step S22, the flow branches to step S32, and it is determined whether or not there is a winning of a ball in the ordinary electric starting port 64. If there is a prize in the ordinary electric start-up opening 64, the prize of this time is stored in the start in step S34, and this is added to the number of stored start. The starting memory is performed, for example, in a predetermined area of the RAM 312, and is limited to four. If the number exceeds four, it is not added to the starting memory number. In addition, the special figure switch memory display 6
6 indicates the number of start memories up to four. here,
In the process of step S34, the present winning is simply added to the starting storage number, and the process of extracting a random number once to determine a big hit at this time is not performed. The jackpot random number extraction process is executed in a subroutine of a left high-speed rotation end process in FIG. 18 described later. After step S34, the process proceeds to step S36. In addition, the normal electric starting port 64
If there is no winning, jumps to step S34 and proceeds to step S36.

In step S36, it is determined whether the vehicle is idling. “Idle” is a normal operation other than the jackpot operation and the symbol rotation operation. If the engine is idling, it is determined in step S38 whether or not the start storage number is held. If there is a hold, the display symbol on the variable display 62 is set to start rotation in step S40. Then, step S
Proceed to 42. On the other hand, when NO is determined in the step S36 (when not idling: at the time of the big hit and the symbol rotating operation), and when there is no reservation of the starting storage number in the step S38, the step S40 is jumped to the step S42. In step S42, any one of the idle processing, the symbol rotation processing, and the big hit processing is selected and executed according to the determination result of the above step (for details, refer to the subroutine).
Next, the process proceeds to step S44 to execute a random number update process / timer and port output process (step S2).
6). Then, the process proceeds to a step S45 to execute a general-purpose general-purpose process (refer to a subroutine for details). this is,
Based on the passage of the ball through the general-purpose gates 67, 67, the design of the general-purpose display device 64a of the general-purpose winning opening 64 is changed, and at the time of a specific display design, closing control such as opening a tulip is performed. is there. Next, a probability fluctuation control process is executed in step S46 (refer to a subroutine for details).
This is to play another game for changing the probability. Next, in step S47, a reset is waited, and the main routine is repeated by a hardware interrupt every 2 ms.

[0050]Random number update processing / timer and port output processing  FIG. 14 shows step S2 in the above main routine.
6, 44 random number update processing / timer and port output processing
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of the process. This subroutine
When started, first, in step S50, the symbol random number updating process
Work. This determines the symbol to be displayed on the variable display 62.
This is to update the random number for
As a result, the display symbol is not biased toward a certain symbol, for example,
"0" to "9", "A" ... "D"
Updated randomly. Next, at step S52,
Random number update processing is performed. This determines the jackpot
The random number for updating is sequentially updated according to a certain rule.
A random number is generated within the range of the big hit probability.
You. Next, in step S53, random number update processing for per-drawing
(See subroutine for details). This is usually electric
The jackpot pattern of the ordinary figure display 64a at the starting port 64 is determined.
This is to update the random number for
As a result, a predetermined probability per ordinary figure (the ordinary figure display 64a is specified)
The probability of drawing a symbol. The same applies to the following)
Random numbers are generated. In addition, the probability per day is variably controlled.
Is done. Next, at step S54, the symbol rotation number determination random number
Perform update processing. This changes the display pattern of the variable display 62.
Constant random numbers to ensure that the number of rotations is not biased
It is a rule that is updated sequentially, so that the display symbol is rotated
The number is updated randomly.

Next, a timer process is performed in step S56. This is to count the timer used in this subroutine. Next, a beer bottle process is performed in step S58. This is to operate the beer bottle portion 203a and the beer bottle portion 204a of the variable display 62 to be tilted toward the center during the reach scroll. Next, in step S60, information processing such as start winning is performed. This is a process for outputting necessary external information such as a prize to the ordinary electric start port 64, a big hit, a V prize, etc. to the management device. If there is no prize or the like in the ordinary electric starting port 64, the output of the external information is not performed. here,
In particular, through the relay base 103 having a function as a notification terminal, for example, to output information that a normal jackpot symbol, lucky jackpot symbol, a special lucky jackpot symbol has occurred, or to change the jackpot probability, the probability of perpetual jackpot,
A process of outputting information such as a result of another game and a state in which control is performed by repeatedly changing the probability to the management device is performed.

Next, a two-system control process is performed in step S62. This is because, for example, seven prize balls are obtained when the normal electric start opening 64 is won, and fifteen spheres are obtained when the general winning openings 69 and 70 are won. This is for performing control divided into systems. Next, a mascot motor process is performed in step S64. This is done by energizing and rotating the mascot motor 210, displacing the doll's face on top of the beer mug as shown in FIG. 9, and tilting both the mug member 175 and the face member 184 at a constant inclination. State.
As a result, the expectation of the player during the reach scroll is increased. Next, in step S66, the lamp / LED
Perform processing. This includes various decorative lamps (for example, the reach lamp 81, the side lamps 82a and 82b, the decorative lamps 83a and 83b, the game state notification lamp 84, etc.) in the special symbol display device 63, and the special figure switch memory display 6
6 and the like are turned on and blinked. At this time, for example, a normal jackpot symbol, a lucky jackpot symbol, an indication that a special lucky jackpot symbol has occurred, a jackpot probability, an indication that the ordinary jackpot probability has been changed, another game result,
Further, a display such as a state in which control is performed by repeatedly changing the probability is performed by the game state notification lamp 84. Next, a port output process is performed in step S68. This is to output data to the output port 315.

Next, in step S70, an LED digital display process is performed. This determines the symbol of the variable display 62 and transfers the data to the display CPU 302. Next, a sound effect process is performed in step S72. This is because sound effects required for the game are generated by the sound generator 317 and sounds required for the game by the voice synthesis IC 318 (for example, sounds at the time of a reach or a big hit).
Or to synthesize. At this time, for example, a normal big hit symbol, a lucky big hit symbol, a notification that a special lucky big hit symbol has occurred, a big hit probability, a notification that the normal hit probability has been changed, another game result, and a forced big hit control or probability change The speaker 111 is informed of the state of repeated control, the state of the jackpot rendezvous, and the like. In addition, what a normal big hit symbol, a lucky big hit symbol, and a special lucky big hit symbol look like may be notified in advance at regular intervals. After step S72, the process returns to the main routine.

It is a figure which shows the subroutine of rotation processing. This subroutine
When the operation shifts to chin, first, in step S90, the symbol rotation is stopped.
It is determined whether or not the player has started. The pattern rotation has started
At this time, the main timer is set to [0] in step S92,
Proceed to step S94. Main timer starts symbol rotation
To the endcountIt is for doing.
Therefore, by setting the main timer to [0],
A new cycle time cowling starts at the same time as the symbol rotation starts.
Is started. On the other hand, if it is not the start of symbol rotation
(For example, if you have already started, or
If it has not started, step S92 is skipped.
And proceed to step S94.

In step S94, it is determined whether or not the symbol rotation has been completed. The symbol rotation is performed from [Step R00] to [Step R70], and [Step R70].
Rotation step 8 and symbol rotation step 9 beyond the limit
And the progress of symbol rotation is determined at these stages. The relationship between each stage and the symbol rotation step is as follows. [Step R00]: Symbol rotation step 0 [Step R10]: Symbol rotation step 1 [Step R20]: Symbol rotation step 2 [Step R30]: Symbol rotation step 3 [Step R40]: Symbol rotation step 4 [Step R50]: Symbol rotation step 5 [Step R60]: Symbol rotation step 6 [Step R70]: Symbol rotation step 7 Processing of each stage of symbol rotation step 1 to symbol rotation step 7 is performed by a subroutine, but symbol rotation step 8 and symbol rotation step In each of the steps 9, only the step is designated, and no subroutine processing is performed. If it has proceeded to the symbol rotation step 9 in step S94, it is determined that the symbol rotation has been completed, and the process proceeds to step S116. On the other hand, if it is less than the symbol rotation step 8, it is determined that the symbol rotation has not been completed, and the process proceeds to step S96. Step S96
Then, the symbol rotation main timer is subtracted. The symbol rotation main timer is a timer started in step S92 which counts the time required for each branch process, and decrements (subtracts) at regular time intervals.

Next, in a step S98, it is determined whether or not the symbol rotation main timer is operating. When the symbol rotation main timer is operating, the process proceeds to step S100 to perform a process of updating the symbol. Thereby, the variable display 62
Is scrolled, that is, the symbol is “1” → “2” →
It is sequentially updated as "3". Next, the sub timer is decremented in step S102. The sub timer changes the symbol dots of the variable display 62 one by one,
It counts the time required to change to the next display symbol (finally, the symbol scroll time), and measures the symbol dot change time when scrolling from "2" to "3" as shown in FIG. 11, for example. . By decrementing the sub-timer, the value of the sub-timer decreases each time this subroutine is executed. When the value becomes [0], the operation of the sub-timer stops (corresponding to the elapse of the scroll time). Therefore, in step S104, it is determined whether or not the symbol rotation sub-timer is operating. When the operation is stopped (when the sub-timer is 0), it is necessary to proceed to step S112 to continue the scrolling process. The data of the sub timer and the like are set, and the process returns to the main routine.
When the symbol rotation sub-timer is operating, the process returns to the main routine. In this way, the symbol on the variable display 62 is updated every predetermined scroll time.

On the other hand, if the symbol rotation main timer is not operating in step S98 and it is set to [0], the flow advances to step S106 to determine whether or not the symbol rotation step 8 or more. If it is the symbol rotation step 8 or more, it is determined that the symbol rotation process needs to be ended, and the process proceeds to step S114, where [9] is set in the symbol rotation step, and the process returns to the main routine. As a result, in the next routine, step S94 branches to YES. If the symbol rotation step is smaller than [8] in step S106, the process proceeds to step S108 to select and execute the following symbol rotation phase end processing. [Step R00]: Low-speed rotation start processing [Step R10]: Left high-speed rotation end processing [Step R20]: Left low-speed rotation end processing [Step R30]: Right low-speed rotation end processing [Step R40]: Symbol rotation end processing [Step [R50]: Normal reach end processing [Step R60]: Special reach end processing [Step R70]: Symbol rotation end processing Each of these processing will be described later in detail as a subroutine. Next, after the symbol rotation main timer is set to a predetermined time in step S110, the process proceeds to step S112.

On the other hand, if the symbol rotation step has proceeded to [9] in step S94, it is determined that the symbol rotation has been completed, and the flow advances to step S116 to determine whether a big hit, that is, a big hit determination random number has been subtracted. Is a "big hit". If there is a big hit, a process for making a big hit is performed in step S118. Thereby, the special symbol display device 63
The symbol of the variable display 62 is a double-eye pattern (for example, “22
2)), and a jackpot operation is performed. Then, the process returns to the main routine. If it is not a big hit, the process branches to step S120 to perform a process of making the vehicle idle. As a result, the special symbol display device 63 operates normally. Then, the process returns to the main routine. In this way, the process of rotating the symbol of the variable display 62 of the special symbol display device 63 is performed.

Therefore, set a random rotation time and obtain a random number.

Perform monitoring processing in the dynamic memory (for details, refer to
Statement). This is the timing just before the symbol rotation stops.

It is monitored whether there is. For big hit designs
Without performing the jackpot random number extraction process in step S141.
Then, a big hit occurs continuously again, and step S144 is performed.
Will jump to.

Next, a big hit random number is extracted in step S141. By the way, conventionally, the random number for jackpot extraction is taken in at the moment when the ball wins in the starting opening, and the random number value has already been extracted at the time of starting and storing. Therefore,
During the big hit, the extracted random numbers may change due to noise, or during the big hit, the extracted random numbers may be incorrectly rewritten. Was. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the big hit random number is extracted at a timing after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the symbol rotation of the variable display 62, that is, at a timing immediately before the stop of the symbol rotation. Therefore, since the random number value is not extracted during the start-up storage, the value does not change, and there is an advantage that a situation in which the extracted random number changes due to noise can be prevented. In addition, there is no room for the extracted random number value to be incorrectly rewritten during the big hit, and there is an advantage that it is possible to prevent a situation in which the extraction result is different from the original big hit probability value due to fraud. As a result, it is possible to prevent the hall and the gaming machine from being disadvantaged. Further, for example, when the present invention is applied to a model adopting the "lucky number" system, the jackpot probability is increased by a factor of 10 after the jackpot only in the case of a special symbol (for example, "777"). When the probability change is performed, after the jackpot probability fluctuates, the big hit random number is extracted after the probability change in which the big hit has ended separately from the starting memory, so that the game following the probability change at the time when the random number is extracted is adapted It can be a big hit random value. That is, the probability value of the big hit can be clarified.

For example, in the case of a "lucky number" jackpot, a random number is extracted with a normal jackpot probability during the jackpot, and control is performed so that the jackpot probability is increased by a factor of 10 after the jackpot ends. If there is a start prize, the start is simply memorized, and 1
A random number is extracted at the timing immediately before the stop of the rotating symbol based on the fluctuation probability of 0 times increase (extraction of the big hit with high probability). Therefore, the big hit random value corresponding to the game after the probability fluctuation increased by a factor of 10 is obtained, and the big hit probability value becomes extremely clear. As a result, the player can be fully satisfied. Now, after step S140, it is determined in step S142 whether or not a big hit has occurred. If it is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S144 to determine a hit stop symbol (for example, "222"). Next, the process jumps to step S152 to set a left low-speed rotation start symbol. This is to set the first symbol to be rotated at a low speed after the high-speed rotation of the left symbol of the variable indicator 62 is completed, so that the player can smoothly follow the displayed symbol. Next, in step S154, [2] is set in the symbol rotation step, and thereafter, the process returns to the symbol rotation processing routine. On the other hand, if it is not a big hit in step S142, the process proceeds to step S146 to determine a slip stop symbol (for example, “232”). Next, in a step S148, it is determined whether or not the left symbol and the right symbol are equal (that is, whether the symbol is a reach eye). When the left symbol is the right symbol, the reach is set in step S150 (for example, a reach flag is set), and then the process proceeds to step S152. Also,
If not, the process jumps from step S150 and proceeds to step S152. Next, in step S154, [2] is set in the symbol rotation step, and thereafter, the process returns to the symbol rotation processing routine.

Such is the case. In addition, it is related to suspension in special suspension.

You.

Here, the advantages of the sub-reach include the following. Since the player can have a sense of expectation of a big hit from the time when the second symbol is stopped, there is an advantage that the effect of producing the game is enhanced, and the player can have a sense of expectation with the original reach. This greatly enhances the desire to play the game. In addition, since the rotation time of the display symbol with respect to the big hit becomes longer due to the sub reach, for example, the “first
In the case of a model that has a lot of balls at the time of big hits belonging to `` seed '' and a large amount of prize balls are discharged in a short time, there is enough time to prepare a new dollar box, However, there is an advantage that the preparation of the dollar box can be performed smoothly. Actually, after the sub-reach, there is a case where reach is achieved (for example, “2 × 2”) and a case where reach is not achieved (for example, “2 × 3”). In the present embodiment, as the probability of sub-reach, the probability of sub-reach is 1/8 when the final stop symbol is a big hit, and when the right symbol is before and after the left symbol (for example, the left symbol is "2" and the right symbol is "2". When the symbol is "3" or "1" before and after the symbol, the probability of sub-reach is set to 1/16. In other words, at the time of a big hit, sub-reach occurs with a probability of at least ８
1/16 when the right symbol is before and after the left symbol
Sub-reach occurs with probability.

Further, for example, when the left symbol is "2" and the right symbol is stopped, a sub-reach is applied and the symbol is stopped at "2", and thereafter, a transition is made to the original reach (that is, "2X").
2), that is, when the sub-reach is changed to the original reach, a big hit is always made. For this reason, there is an advantage that when a transition is made to the original reach due to the sub reach, the big hit can be confirmed at this point.
If it is determined in step S164 that the vehicle is in the sub-reach mode, the process proceeds to step S166 to determine the sub-reach rotation speed. For example, when the left symbol is “2”, the number of rotations to shift the right symbol (the number of symbols to be shifted) is determined, and then the right low speed at which the low speed rotation of the variable display (right) 62R is started. The rotation start symbol is determined. Next, a right low-speed rotation start symbol is set in step S168, and [3] is set in the symbol rotation step in step S170.
Then, the process returns to the symbol rotation processing routine. In this way, the sub-reach rotation speed during sub-reach,
Since the right low-speed rotation start symbol at that time is set, when the variable display (right) 62R is stopped, a slow scrolling in which the player can visually recognize the symbol from the set right low-speed rotation start symbol is started. At the same time, the scroll continues for the determined number of rotations of the sub-reach and the final right symbol is stopped. Step S
If it is not sub-reach at 164, the process jumps from step S166 and proceeds to step S168. Therefore, at this time, the right low-speed rotation start symbol is set without performing sub-reach. On the other hand, if it is not a big hit in step S162, the process proceeds to step S172 to determine whether the right symbol is before or after the left symbol. For example, the left symbol is "2",
It is determined whether the right symbol is "3" or "1" before and after the right symbol. If YES, step S17
The program proceeds to step 4 to determine whether or not sub-reach is to be performed (determines whether to generate sub-reach with a probability of 1/16). In the case of sub-reach, the flow branches to step S166. If it is not sub-reach, the process proceeds to step S168, and
If the determination at 172 is NO, the process also proceeds to step S168. As described above, even when there is no big hit, there is a sub-reach, and the same processing as described above is performed according to the presence or absence of the sub-reach.

If it is determined in step S184 that special reach has been reached, the flow advances to step S186 to determine a special reach rotational speed. For example, when both the left symbol and the right symbol are “2”, the number of shifts (after the number of symbols of the reach scroll) to stop the middle symbol after the start of the special reach scroll in the middle symbol is determined. The number of rotations (the number of symbols to be shifted) is determined. Next, in step S188, the normal reach rotation speed is determined (in the case of normal reach, the rotation speed is determined here). In step S190, a low-speed rotation start symbol is set. In step S192, the symbol rotation step is set to [ 5] is set. Then, the process returns to the symbol rotation processing routine. In this way, the special reach rotational speed at the time of the special reach and the medium / low speed rotation start symbol at that time are set. Then, since this is a case of a big hit, a special hit is reached and finally a big hit state (for example, “222”) is reached. Normal reach refers to normal reach other than special reach. If it is determined in step S184 that it is not a special reach, step S186 is jumped and the process proceeds to step S188. Therefore, at this time, the special reach is not performed, and after the normal reach rotational speed is determined in step S188, the middle-low speed rotation start symbol is set in step S190. At this time, the vehicle reaches the big hit state (for example, “222”) through the normal reach.

(II) When there is no big hit When there is no big hit, steps S182 to S1
The process branches to 94, and it is determined whether or not reach is performed (step S
At 138, it is determined whether the reach flag is set). If it is reach, the process proceeds to step S196, and it is determined whether or not the right symbol is equal to the middle symbol (that is, whether the symbol is equivalent to a big hit). When the right symbol is the middle symbol, a big hit is made. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S202, where [1] is added to the middle symbol, and then the process proceeds to step S188.
This is to avoid stopping at the hit of the jackpot, even though it is not a jackpot. On the other hand, when the right symbol is not equal to the middle symbol (that is, when the symbol does not correspond to a big hit), the process proceeds to step S198, and it is determined whether the middle symbol is a symbol immediately before the right symbol. . For example, when the right symbol is “2”, it is determined whether or not the middle symbol is “1” immediately before the middle symbol. If the answer is YES, the special reach is "212" in the final stop symbol, so the flow proceeds to step S200 to determine the special reach rotation speed, and then proceeds to step S188. If the middle symbol is not the symbol immediately before the right symbol in step S198, step S200 is jumped to step S18.
Proceed to 8. Therefore, at this time, it does not become a special reach but becomes a normal reach. As described above, even when the vehicle deviates from the big hit, at the time of the reach (corresponding to a so-called outreach), it is controlled by either the special reach or the normal reach according to the mode of the final stop symbol. If NO in step S194 (if not reach), the flow branches to step S204 to set a medium-low speed rotation start symbol, and further sets [4] to the symbol rotation step in step S206. Then, the process returns to the symbol rotation processing routine. Therefore, even if the jackpot is not a reach, the normal symbol rotation control is simply performed.

Here, the control for increasing the big hit probability will be described. (I) Probability Fluctuation Control by Another Game In this embodiment, a separate game for determining whether to increase the big hit probability is performed separately from the normal big hit game using the special symbol display device 63. A. Example of performing another game using different game means 93 (case of the present embodiment) The content of another game is as follows: at the same time as the special symbol display device 63 becomes a big hit symbol, the symbol rotation of the probability change determination display 91 is started and specified. (In this embodiment, two of "7" and "3"), the change in the jackpot probability is determined. Then, until the next big hit occurs, the probability variation control is performed to increase the big hit occurrence probability to 1/50 (about four times the normal probability). On the other hand, when stopping at a symbol other than “7” or “3”, the big hit probability is not changed. Therefore, for example, "0"
With "5" or the like, the jackpot probability does not change. After determining the change in the jackpot probability, the number of times of the probability change is determined (for example, by random number drawing), and the result of the number determination is displayed on the probability change number determination display 92. The probability of occurrence of the jackpot is not 1/50 (probability of approximately four times the normal), but may be changed to another magnification, and the value of the magnification may be set freely. The big hit probability may be immediately changed (for example, increased) with the stop symbol of the probability change determination indicator 91. In this case, if the stop symbol of the probability change determination indicator 91 is “7”, the big hit probability is 1/20.
If the stop symbol is "3", the big hit probability is 1/5
Increase to 0. In addition, the probability fluctuation determination indicator 91
The stop symbol is not limited to “7” or “3”, and the jackpot probability may be changed (it is also possible to change the jackpot probability corresponding to the symbol) for any symbol.

Similarly, the probability of a perpetual figure may be immediately changed (for example, increased) by using the stop symbol of the probability fluctuation determination indicator 91 in the same manner. In this case, for example, if the stop symbol of the probability change determination indicator 91 is “A”, the probability per ordinary figure is increased to 、,
If it is "7", the probability per ordinary symbol is increased to 1/3, and if the stop symbol is "3", the probability per ordinary symbol is increased to 1/5. In addition, the stop symbol of the probability variation determination display 91 is not limited to “A”, “7” or “3”, and the probability per hit is changed for any symbol. The probability may be changed). Further, it is also possible to use a stop symbol of the probability variation determination indicator 91 to control a fairly complicated control that fluctuates by appropriately combining the jackpot probability and the ordinary symbol probability. Next, the determination of the number of times of the probability variation is specifically performed on the display symbol of the probability variation number determination display 92, and the probability variation number determination display 92 is displayed after the symbol of the probability variation determination display 91 stops. The rotation is started, and at this time, the number of times of probability change is determined by lottery, and the number of times of probability change is determined and displayed. There are three types of symbols effective in determining the number of times of probability change, "1", "3", and "5", and other symbols do not correspond to the number of times of probability change. Therefore, for example, when "5" is subtracted from the random number lottery result for the number of times of change, the number of times of probability change becomes five, and the value is displayed on the probability change number determination display 92. Also, when the random number lottery is subtracted by “3”, the probability fluctuation frequency becomes three times, and the value is also displayed on the probability fluctuation frequency determination display 92. By subtracting “1” by the random number lottery, the probability fluctuation frequency becomes Is once, and the value is displayed on the probability change frequency determination display 92. Therefore, if successful, so-called seven times, three times, or one time, the possibility that a big hit occurs continuously in a short time increases. However, it is up to the player to draw the big hit. As described above, the jackpot probability is set to the high probability state, and is controlled seven times, three times, or one time. It should be noted that the number of times the special figure probability changes by random number drawing is not limited to the above example, and another number may be set.

B. Example of performing another game using special symbol display device 63 Performing another game is not limited to the example of using different game means 93. However, in the present embodiment, the above-described example A will be specifically described, and the example B and the example C described below will be described only in words. First, it is possible to play another game using the special symbol display device 63. In this case, existing components are sufficient, and there is an advantage of low cost. Specifically, another game is played using the variable display 62 in the special symbol display device 63. The variable display 62 is composed of three parts arranged in three rows, each having a variable display (left) 62L, a variable display (middle) 62M, and a variable display (right) 62R. Another game is played using two of the above.
That is, the left symbol of the variable display 62 (variable display (left)
62L) and the right symbol (variable display (right) 62R)
For example, the left symbol of the variable display 62 is made to correspond to the above-described probability variation determination display 91, and the right symbol is made to correspond to the above-described probability variation number determination display 92. The execution time of the separate game may be, for example, immediately after the end of the big hit or another timing. The left symbol (variable display (left) 62L) and the right symbol (variable display (right) 6)
Not limited to the example using 2R), another game may be executed using the medium symbol twice.

C. Example in which a separate game is played using the ordinary symbol display device (the ordinary symbol display 64a). Specifically, the symbol of the ordinary symbol display 64a is stopped twice, the first symbol is made to correspond to the above-described probability variation determination indicator 91, and the next symbol is changed to the number of times of the probability variation described above. Correspond to the decision indicator 92. The execution time of the separate game may be, for example, immediately after the end of the big hit or another timing. Next, the control to increase the jackpot probability is not limited to the case of performing by another game, but the special symbol display device 63
Can be used to perform probability variation control. The conceptual configuration will be described together here for convenience. (II) Probability fluctuation control using the special symbol display device 63 This employs a so-called “lucky number” system among the display symbols of the special symbol display device 63, and increases the jackpot probability from the normal only when the special symbol is displayed. That is.

Specifically, for example, when the symbol of the variable display 62 becomes a special symbol “333” (hereinafter referred to as “lucky jackpot symbol”), the probability of the jackpot occurrence until the next jackpot occurrence is determined. Probability fluctuation control is performed so as to increase to 1/50 (almost four times the normal probability). And
In the case of the lucky big hit symbol, the state where the probability of occurrence of the big hit is increased to 1/50 is continued until three big hits occur. This corresponds to controlling the jackpot probability in the first repetition state. Therefore, when a lucky big hit symbol appears, a 1/50 high probability state continues thereafter until three big hits occur. If a lucky big hit symbol appears again before the three big hits occur, the big hit occurrence probability may be returned to the original low state for a total of four big hits. Separately, for example, the probability of a big hit is reduced to 1 /
The count of the repetitive control may be newly started to increase to 50. That is, the counting of the special figure probability change frequency is newly started. In addition,
When a big hit occurs in a normal big hit symbol (for example, "666"), the subsequent game is performed with a low probability of 1/200, 1/210 or 1/220, and the big hit with a normal probability. The operation is determined.

The symbol of the variable display 62 is "777".
Is a special symbol (hereinafter referred to as a special lucky jackpot symbol), the probability that the jackpot occurrence probability will increase to 1/20 (almost 10 times the normal probability) until the next big jackpot occurrence Perform fluctuation control. And if the special lucky jackpot design,
The state where the probability of occurrence of the big hit is drastically increased to 1/20 until the big hit occurs is continued. This is the second
Is equivalent to controlling the jackpot probability in the repeated state of. Therefore, when a special lucky big hit symbol appears, a 1/20 high probability state continues thereafter until five big hits occur. That is, the number of special figure probability changes is [5]
Becomes Therefore, if successful, there is a high possibility that so-called six hits will occur continuously in a short time. If a special lucky jackpot symbol appears again before the five jackpots occur thereafter, the jackpot occurrence probability may be returned to the original low state for a total of six jackpots. Separately, for example, the count of the repetitive control may be newly started so that the jackpot probability is increased to 1/20 up to a new five times. Further, when the lucky jackpot symbol or the special lucky jackpot symbol appears as described above, the number of repetitions of the high probability remaining at that time, that is, the number of special figure probability changes (for example, three or five times) is changed. When all of them are not used, a real addition method of adding the remaining number of times of the special figure probability change (the number of repetitions) to the current number of times of the special figure probability change (the number of repetitions) may be adopted. further,
As a modified embodiment, for example, it is determined whether or not to perform the probability variation using the stop symbol of the special symbol display device 63, and then the variation number is determined by another game using the probability variation number determination display 92. Good. In this case, any symbol (stop) of the special symbol display device 63 may be used. For example, it is easy to understand when a lucky big hit symbol is used.

Now, let us return to the description of the flowchart in FIG. 23 again. After step S302, step S
At 304, the main timer is set to [0], and at step S306
Proceed to. The main timer is a variable winning device 65 at the time of a big hit.
Open cycle time (eg, 29.5)
Seconds), and here the main timer is set to [0]
Thus, the cycle time counting is newly started at the same time as the start of the big hit. On the other hand, when it is not a big hit start (for example, when it has already started or when it has not started at all), steps S302 and 304 are jumped and the process proceeds to step S306. In step S306, it is determined whether the big hit has ended. The steps from [Step B00] to [Step B40] in the detail processing of the jackpot, and [Step B4]
0], jackpot step 5 and jackpot step 6
And the progress of the jackpot process is determined at these stages. The relationship between each stage and the jackpot step is as follows. [Step B00]: Big hit step 0 [Step B10]: Big hit step 1 [Step B20]: Big hit step 2 [Step B30]: Big hit step 3 [Step B40]: Big hit step 4 Each step of big hit step 1 to big hit step 4 Is performed in a subroutine, but each of the steps of the jackpot step 5 and the jackpot step 6 merely designates a step, and the subroutine processing is not performed.

If it has proceeded to the big hit step 6 in step S306, it is determined that the big hit process has been completed,
Proceed to step S330. On the other hand, when it is less than the big hit step 6, it is determined that the big hit processing is not completed, and the process proceeds to step S308. (I) At the end of the big hit Here, for convenience of explanation, starting from step S330, the symbol monitoring process is performed at step S330. This is to monitor the stop symbol of the special symbol display device 63, and to determine a special jackpot symbol to consecutively change the jackpot (the details will be described later in a subroutine).
As a result, a big hit may occur continuously, and the player is more likely to acquire many payouts in a short time, so that the player can further enjoy the game. Next, the process proceeds to step S334 to return to idle, and returns to the main routine. As a result, the normal operation is performed again after the end of the big hit, but when the big hit continues or when the probability of hitting the normal figure increases, the possibility of obtaining a large number of payouts in a short time becomes extremely high.

(II) During the big hit If the big hit is less than step 6 in step S306, the big hit process is not completed, so the process proceeds to step S308, and the V valid timer is decremented and the V winning check is performed. When the variable winning device 65 as a special winning opening is opened at the time of a big hit, if the ball does not win in the special winning time within a certain effective time (for example, 29.5 seconds), the V-effective timer processes the so-called punk. Therefore, it is a timer that counts the effective time, and decrements (subtracts) at regular time intervals. The V winning check is for determining whether or not a ball has been won in the V winning opening within the effective time. Therefore, if there is no V winning while the V valid timer is decremented to [0],
Treated as punk. On the other hand, if there is a V winning, the big hit cycle continues within the range of the maximum number of cycles (for example, 16 times). Next, a jackpot output flag process is performed in step S310. This is a process of setting a flag for continuing the cycle during a big hit. Then
In step S312, it is determined whether the special winning opening is being opened, that is, whether the variable winning device 65 is open. If it is open, in step S314, the number of winnings to the special winning opening is counted 10 and it is determined whether or not it is 10 or more. The grand prize mouth is closed with a maximum of ten. Therefore, if it is less than 10, the process proceeds to step S316, and the main timer is decremented. If the number is already 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S322.

On the other hand, if the special winning opening is not being opened in step S312, the process jumps from step S314 and proceeds to step S316. By subtracting the main timer in step S316, the above-mentioned attacker open time (for example, 29.5 seconds) is counted. Next, in a step S318, it is determined whether or not the big hit main timer is operating. The big hit main timer is a timer necessary for executing a big hit. When this timer is operating, the process proceeds to step S320 to perform a main timer operating process (for example, a process of blinking a decorative lamp). If the big hit main timer is not operating, the process jumps to step S322. In the step S322, it is determined whether or not the big hit step is [5] or more. If it is greater than or equal to the jackpot step 5, it is determined that the jackpot process needs to be terminated, and the flow advances to step S328 to set [6] in the jackpot step and return to the main routine. Thereby, in the next routine, step S
The process branches to YES at 306.

If the big hit step is smaller than [5] in step S322, the flow advances to step S324 to select and execute the following big hit phase termination processing. [Step B00]: Fanfare start process [Step B10]: Fanfare end process [Step B20]: Big winning opening opening end process [Step B30]: Interval end process [Step B40]: V check process at end The processing is a subroutine and will be described later in detail. Next, after setting data such as a timer in step S326, the process returns to the main routine. In this way, the necessary processing at the time of the big hit is performed.

Next, random number update processing / timer and port
Each subroutine in the output process will be described.
Symbol random number update processing  FIG. 28 shows random number update processing, timer and port output processing.
Of the symbol random number updating process in step S50 in
FIG. This subroutine starts
First, add [1] to the left symbol random number in step S400
I do. Next, in step S402, the left symbol random number is [1].
4] It is determined whether or not it is below. Here, in this embodiment,
Are symbols "0" to "0" to be displayed on the variable display 62.
There are 15 kinds of patterns from "9" to "A" ... "E"
You. And 14 kinds of symbols are from [0] to [14]
Respectively correspond to the random numbers. Therefore, the left symbol
The random number [14] corresponds to the maximum value of the symbol.
You. In step S402, the left symbol random number exceeds [14].
If so, the process proceeds to step S404 because it is the maximum value.
To set the left symbol random number to [0]. This is again from the maximum
The value is returned to the minimum value [0]. Next,
In step S406, [1] is added to the medium symbol random number, and
In step S408, whether the middle symbol random number is equal to or less than [14]
Is determined. When the medium symbol random number exceeds [14]
Is the maximum value, the process proceeds to step S410, and the middle symbol
Return the random number to [0]. Next, in step S412, the right figure
[1] is added to the pattern random number, and similarly in step S414, the right
It is determined whether or not the symbol random number is equal to or smaller than [14]. Right figure
When the pattern random number exceeds [14], is it the maximum value?
Goes to step S416 and returns the right symbol random number to [0].
You. Next, the process of step S418 is performed.

On the other hand, when the left symbol random number is equal to or smaller than [14] in step S402, when the middle symbol random number is equal to or smaller than [14] in step S408, or when the right symbol random number is equal to or smaller than [14] in step S414, Also step S41
Jump to 8. In this manner, the left, middle, and right symbol random numbers are sequentially updated (incremented) in the range of [0] to [14]. Now, in step S418, a big hit symbol updating process is executed. This is mainly to randomize the appearance rate of each symbol at the time of big hit,
In this embodiment, in particular, the appearance rates of the symbols “3” and “7” are controlled to be slightly lower, so that the disadvantage is not increased for the hole, and the control is performed so as to balance the profit between the two so that the player can enjoy the hole. Things.

[0086]Big hit decision random number update process / Symbol rotation speed decision random number update process
Reason  FIG. 29 shows random number update processing, timer and port output processing.
The random number update process for determining the big hit in step S52 in
And the symbol rotation number determination random number update process in step S54
It is a figure which shows a subroutine. Big hit decision random number update processing
When the processing subroutine is started, first, at step S42
At 0, [1] is added to the jackpot determination random number. Next,
In step S422, the random number update upper limit value for the probability set value is calculated.
Start. For example, when the jackpot probability is 1/200
Has a random number update upper limit of [200] and [200]
Be sent out. Similarly, when the jackpot probability is 1/210
Has a random number update upper limit of [210] and a jackpot probability of 1/2
In the case of 20, the random number update upper limit value is [220]. Next
In step S424, the jackpot probability is increasing.
It is determined whether or not. For example, the jackpot design is lucky
In the case of a hit symbol, the big hit probability (special figure probability) is 1/50
Up, special lucky jackpot design when you win
The probability has increased to 1/20. Double up
The rate is not limited to this example, and may be another magnification. Step S4
If the probability is increasing at 24, the probability is increased at step S426.
To the upper limit of random number update at the time of
When the magnification is up to 1/20 with the lucky big hit symbol
Is set to [20]), and the process proceeds to step S428. What
Contact, the lucky jackpot design has increased the magnification to 1/50
If so, the random number update upper limit is corrected to [50]. one
On the other hand, when the probability is not being increased, step S426 is performed.
And the process proceeds to step S428.

In step S428, it is determined whether or not the result of updating the hit random number is the upper limit value. This is to update the big hit determination random number every time this routine is repeated, and to determine whether or not the upper limit has been reached in this routine. If the jackpot determination random number update result is the upper limit value, the jackpot determination random number is returned to [0] in step S430.
Thereafter, step S43 of the symbol rotation number determination random number update process
Move to 2. On the other hand, when the result of the update of the jackpot determination random number is not the upper limit value, the subroutine of the symbol rotation number determination random number update processing is jumped to shift to the next timer processing. In this way, the jackpot determination random number is incremented by [1], and returns to [0] again at the upper limit value corresponding to the jackpot probability, and the increment is repeated. Therefore, for example, when the jackpot probability is 1/200, the random number update upper limit value is [200], so that one random number in the range from [0] to [199] is extracted to determine the jackpot. That is, random number extraction is performed with a jackpot probability of 1/200. When the probability of the jackpot is increased to 1/20, the random number update upper limit value is [20]. Therefore, one random number in the range from [0] to [19] is extracted to determine the jackpot. Is performed, and when the probability of the jackpot increases to 1/50, the random number update upper limit value is [50]. Therefore, one random number within the range of [0] to [49] is extracted and the jackpot is determined. Is determined. Therefore, as the probability of a big hit increases, the possibility of drawing a big hit increases dramatically.

Next, when the subroutine of the symbol rotation number determining random number updating process is entered, [1] is added to the symbol rotation number determining random number in step S432. Next, in step S434, it is determined whether or not the update result of the symbol rotation number determination random number is the upper limit value. This is to update the symbol rotation number determination random number each time this routine is repeated, and determine whether or not the upper limit value has been reached in this routine. If the symbol rotation number determination random number update result is the upper limit value, the symbol rotation number determination random number is returned to [0] in step S436. After that, the processing shifts to the next timer processing. If the symbol rotation number determination random number update result is not the upper limit value, the process jumps to step S436 and shifts to the next timer process. In this way, the symbol rotation number determination random number is incremented by [1], and returns to [0] again at the upper limit value, and the increment is repeated. Therefore, the number of times of rotating the display symbol of the variable display 62 is not biased.

Beer Bottle Processing FIG. 30 is a diagram showing a beer bottle processing subroutine of step S58 in the random number update processing / timer and port output processing. When this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S450 whether or not a reach operation is being performed.
Return to timer and port output processing. Therefore, unless the reach operation is being performed, the mechanical operation of the variable display 62 is not performed. On the other hand, during the reach operation, it is determined in step S452 whether or not a special reach is performed. If it is not a special reach but a normal normal reach, the process proceeds to step S454 to perform a solenoid operation corresponding to the normal reach display symbol. That is, the energization control corresponding to the normal reach display symbol is performed on the beer bottle solenoids 205 and 207. As a result, FIG.
When the reach scroll is being performed, the beer bottle section 203a and the beer bottle section 20 are displayed as shown in FIG.
4a are inclined to the center side, and the beer bottle
A style displacement operation of pouring into one mug is performed.

If it is determined in step S452 that the vehicle is in special reach, the flow advances to step S456 to perform a solenoid operation corresponding to the special reach display symbol. That is,
The energization control is performed on the beer bottle solenoids 205 and 207 so that the operation becomes gentle so as to correspond to the special reach display symbol. As a result, the reach state shown in FIG. 11A is also performed. In this case, the reach scroll is performed slowly with a long reach, and the beer bottle portion 203a and the beer bottle portion 204a are both inclined to the center side to remove the beer bottle. The style displacement operation of pouring into the mug of the mug unit 171 is performed slowly. Therefore, a slow mechanical operation according to the special reach is realized. After step S454 or step S456, the process returns to random number update processing / timer and port output processing.

[0092]Normal figure  FIG. 32 shows a general diagram in step S45 of the main routine.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of a usual electric power process. This subroutine
When the chin is started, the starting prize is first won in step S500.
It is determined whether or not there is. The starting prize here is
The winning of the ball to the gates 67 and 68 (that is, the ball
Pass through). General Figure gates 67, 68 (small
At least one of them)
In step S502, the normal figure start memory is incremented by [1].

It is done. After step S502,
Proceed to step S504. On the other hand, starting in step S500
If there is no prize, step S502 is jumped to step
Proceed to step S504. In step S504, the general figure
It is determined whether or not it is running. What is Toku Idol?
The state where the graphic display 64a is stopped at the previous roll (symbol)
Say. For example, it may be immediately after stopping. Budo idol
If it is during the period, the process proceeds to step S506, and the normal drawing start memory is stored.
It is determined whether or not there is a stay. Reservation is made within 4 pieces
Therefore, there are many cases where there is a suspension.

If there is a reservation, a general-purpose rotation start process is performed in step S508. As a result, the display of the ordinary symbol display 64a changes, and thereafter, the display stops at a certain symbol after a predetermined time elapses. Also, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of rotation, a random number for determining a symbol on the general-purpose display 64a is randomly selected. It is determined based on the random number lottery result whether or not a lucky specific symbol (for example, “7”) is hit. In this case, by setting a random rotation time in step S508, consideration is given so that the appearance of the symbol is not biased to a specific hit symbol (for example, “7”). As the symbols, 20 types of 0 to 19, which are the maximum displayable range, may be used, or specific odd symbols of 1, 3, 5,... 19 may be used. If there are few symbols, control becomes easier. In addition, the timing at which the random number for determining the symbol of the general symbol display 64a is determined by lottery may be after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of rotation as described above, but is not limited thereto. At the same time, random numbers for symbol determination may be drawn. That is, the random number lottery timing may be freely set at any time. After the processing in step S508, the process proceeds to the subsequent step S510. On the other hand, step S5
When the answer is NO in 04 or the answer is NO in step S506, the process jumps from step S508 and proceeds to step S510. In step S510, the process branches. This is to select and execute any one of the idle processing, the rotation processing, the hit processing, and the out-of-position processing according to the determination result of the above step (refer to the subroutine for details of each content). After step S510, the process returns to the main routine.

It is determined whether or not the symbol a has completed the rotation. The pattern turns
If the rotation has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S532 and
A figure variation process is performed, and the process returns to the main routine. This
As a result, the symbol on the ordinary symbol display 64a continues to fluctuate.
(Continuous rotation). On the other hand, the pattern of the ordinary figure display 64a
When has completed the rotation, the process proceeds to step S534,
Extracting a random number for determining the symbol of the display 64a,
In S536, it is determined whether or not the extraction result is a hit. This
For example, there are two types of “7” and “3”. This
If it is, the hit symbol is stopped in step S538.
Therefore, stop at the symbol “7” or “3”.
And Next, in step S540, the next routine
Change the processing to be executed by
To return. As a result, the pattern of the ordinary symbol display 64a is changed.
Stops at a hit, and thereafter shifts to a hit process. Also,
If it is not hit in step S536, the process proceeds to step S542.
Branch off and stop the off symbol. Therefore, "7"
Alternatively, it stops at a symbol other than "3". Next
Then, the process executed in the next routine in step S544
To the removal process and return to the main routine.
You. As a result, the symbol on the general-purpose display device 64a stops when it comes off.
After that, the process proceeds to the disconnection process. In this way,
A process of rotating the symbol on the graphic display 64a is performed.

[0095]Hitting / losing processing  FIG. 35 is a diagram showing the contact of step S510 in the general-purpose general-purpose processing.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of a process and a departure process.
When shifting to the hit processing subroutine, first, in step S
At 550, it is determined whether or not the hit processing is completed.
If not, the process proceeds to step S552, and the normal electric starting port 64
Turn on. This is done by energizing the Fuden solenoid 361
Normally, the tulip of the electric start port 64 is opened.
You. As a result, the winning rate of the ordinary electric starting port 64 is increased.
This gives the player an advantage. Next, in step S554
Checks whether or not the ball has won the normal electric start port 64
And returns to the main routine. Normal electric start port 6
When there is a prize in 4, the start is memorized and the variable
The design of the display 62 is rotated, and it is only a
Prize ball discharge. Here, the normal electric starting port 64
The opening time is set to 5 seconds when the hit symbol is “7”, for example.
When the hit symbol is "3", it is set to 2 seconds.
In the present embodiment, the opening of the normal electric starting port 64 is controlled by time.
However, the present invention is not limited to this.
You may do so. In this case, for example, the hit symbol is “7”
In the case of, a maximum of 5 prizes are accepted, and the winning symbol is "3"
Allow up to two prizes (open hours
It doesn't matter).

In addition to the above control, the opening of the ordinary electric start port 64 is controlled only when the big hit symbol is a lucky big hit symbol or a special lucky big hit symbol (these contents have been described above). Control to increase the winning number may be performed. By doing so, the number of prize balls during the big hit becomes larger than usual, and the player's willingness to play is further enhanced. Such control is effective as a method for increasing the number of payouts during a big hit. Alternatively, the opening of the normal electric starting port 64 may be controlled based on the result of another game, and control may be performed to increase the number of winnings. On the other hand, when the hit process is completed in step S550, the process proceeds to step S55.
6 and the ordinary electric starting port 64 is turned off. this is,
The power supply to the general-purpose solenoid 361 is turned off to close the tulip of the normal electric starting port 64. As a result, the winning rate of the ordinary electric starting port 64 decreases, and the player is disadvantaged. Next, in step S556, the next process is changed to the idle process, and the process returns to the main routine. As a result, idle processing is performed in the next routine.

When the processing shifts to the subroutine of the outlier processing,
In step S560, it is determined whether or not the shift processing has been completed.
If not, the process returns to the main routine.
Thereby, the disconnection process is continuously performed. On the other hand, when the losing process ends, the process branches to step S558.
As a result, idle processing is performed in the next routine. In this way, opening / closing control of the ordinary electric start-up port 64 is performed when the symbol of the ordinary symbol display 64a hits and when the symbol comes off.

[0098]Random number update processing for ordinary maps  FIG. 36 shows random number update processing / timer and port output processing.
Of the random number update process for ordinary drawing per step S53 in FIG.
FIG. Move to this subroutine
Then, first in step S580, the random number for per-map is [1]
Is added. Next, in step S582, the probability
It is determined whether or not is up. Here, the present embodiment
Now, under certain conditions, control is performed to increase the probability
ing. Specifically, normal normal operation and normal
At the time of the big hit design, the probability per hit is about 1/20
Is a lucky jackpot design and special lucky
-When the jackpot symbol appears, place it after the jackpot ends
The probability of per-map drawing is increased to a high magnification of 1/4.
Note that, as will be described later in other embodiments, a specific lucky
When a big hit occurs in a hit symbol (for example, "5")
Also, the probability of hitting the regular map after the end of the big hit is 1/4 high
The rate may be increased. Probability per day
The magnification of the loop is not limited to this example, and may be another magnification. Also,
The up magnification may be changed depending on the big hit symbol.

By increasing the probability of winning the ordinary figure, the winning rate of the ordinary electric starting port 64 is increased, and the probability of the next big hit occurring is indirectly increased from the aspect of the starting winning.
Therefore, the player's willingness to play is increased from a viewpoint different from increasing the jackpot occurrence probability. In particular, since the symbol of the variable display 62 is rotated well, the game is played while being pounding, making the game interesting. Further, the change of the big hit probability may be appropriately combined with the ordinary hit probability, and in this case, the game content is extremely enhanced. For example, generally, until the big hit occurs, the payout rate is low, and the so-called “ball holding” is bad. Is higher and the ball holding is better. Therefore, for example, there is an advantage that the number of players who give up the game before the occurrence of a big hit becomes intense, and the hall leads to an increase in sales. The payout rate can also be controlled so as to have various changes by changing the probability of hitting the ordinary figure, and the payout rate can be adjusted to some extent freely. In addition, after the big hit is completed, not only the probability of hitting the general figure is raised to a high magnification of 1/4, but also the probability of hitting the general figure can be raised immediately from the time of the big hit. In this way, the number of prize balls at the time of the big hit game increases, and a great profit for the player can be obtained.

In step S582, if the probability of hitting the ordinary figure is increasing, the flow advances to step S584 to correct the upper limit of the random number update at the time of increasing the probability (for example, the probability of increasing the ordinary figure is increased by a factor of 4 to 1/4). In some cases, the upper limit is set to [4].)
Then, the process proceeds to step S586. In addition, when the magnification is increased to 1 / n at the probability per ordinary figure, the random number update upper limit is corrected to [n]. On the other hand, when the probability is not being increased, step S582 is jumped and the process proceeds to step S586. In step S586, it is determined whether or not the result of updating the hit determination random number in the ordinary figure is the upper limit value. This is to determine whether the upper limit value has been reached in the current routine, although the determined random number is updated every time this routine is repeated. If the result of updating the per-figure-determined random number is the upper limit, the per-figure-determined random number is returned to [0] in step S588. After that, the process returns to the routine of random number update processing / timer and port output processing. If the result of updating the determined random number per figure is not the upper limit value, the process jumps to step S588 and returns to the routine for updating the random number, timer and port output process. In this way, the determined random number per ordinary figure is incremented by [1], and returns to [0] again at the random number update upper limit value at the time of increasing the probability, and the increment is repeated. Therefore, for example, the probability per day is 1
In the case of / 20, since the random number update upper limit is [20],
One random number in the range of [0] to [19] is extracted, and the per-figure determination is performed. In other words, the probability per day is 1
A random number is extracted at / 20. Also, when the probability per ordinary figure is increased to 1/4, the upper limit of random number update is [4], so one random number in the range of [0] to [3] is extracted and extracted. The judgment per figure is performed.

[0101]Continuous change control processing  FIG. 37 shows steps in the left high-speed rotation end processing routine.
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a subroutine of a continuous channel control process in S140
is there. When shifting to this subroutine, first, step S
At 900, the remaining number of consecutive chan is checked. Ren Chang times
The number is determined by the stop symbol of the special symbol display device 63.
Here, we see the rest of the determined number of consecutive chan

When the number of rotations is [0], the routine proceeds to the left high-speed rotation end processing routine.
To return. The return destination is the left high-speed rotation end processing
The process proceeds to step S141 for the chin. Therefore, return
Later, in step S141, the normal jackpot random number is extracted again.
Since it is performed, even if the remaining number of consecutive chans = [0], another 1
There will be a chance to win the jackpot. On the other hand,
In step S902, the remaining number of consecutive chan is not equal to [0] but is finite.
If the value is a value, the process proceeds to step S904, and
[1] is subtracted (decremented), and the left height shown in FIG.
Jump to step S144 of the high-speed rotation end processing routine
Then, the stop symbol of the big hit is determined. Therefore, the rest
When there is a Chan count (for example, when there is only one left)
Means that a big hit is forcibly repeated again after the big hit
In step S144, the big hit stop symbol is determined.
Is determined. Note that this big hit is
, And become a pure Ren Chan.

Here, when the symbol rotation of the special symbol display device 63 is performed in the start memory after the big hit, the start memory symbol rotation informing means for notifying the outside to the player, especially to the player, may be provided. Good. As the start storage symbol rotation informing means, for example, side lamps 82a, 82 on the game board 13
b, the decoration lamps 83a and 83b or the game state notification lamp 84 may be appropriately used, or other dedicated lamps may be arranged. Instead of a lamp, an LED may be used for notification. Alternatively, the display is not limited to such display using light, and may be notified by voice synthesis and sound effects, or the display may be appropriately combined with voice synthesis and sound effects. Providing such notification means further enhances the player's expectation and makes the game more interesting.

[0103]Big hit symbol update processing  FIG. 38 shows step S418 in the symbol random number updating process.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of big hit symbol update processing.
When shifting to this subroutine, first, in step S630
Add [1] to the jackpot symbol random number. Jackpot symbol random number
Is the random appearance rate of the display symbols on the variable display 62
It is to make. Next, in step S632
Determine whether the update result of the big hit symbol random number is the upper limit
I do. This means that every time this routine is repeated,
The number is updated, but in this routine
It is to determine whether or not it has become. Jackpot symbol random number update
If the new result is the upper limit value, the big hit symbol disturbance in step S34
Change the number back to [0]. Then, in step S636,
From the address data corresponding to the jackpot symbol random number
Then, the process returns to the symbol random number updating process.
On the other hand, if NO in step S632, step S63
Jump to step S636 and proceed to step S636. in this way
And the jackpot symbol random number is incremented by [1]
And returns to [0] again at the upper limit, and the increment is
Repeated. Here, FIG. 39 shows a specific example of the symbol data.
As shown in this figure, the big hit symbol data
There are 26 types of dresses from +1 to +25.
Pattern data is determined in the range of 0 to 9 corresponding to the
I have. Among them, the lucky jackpot design “3”
There are 2 out of 26, this is a lucky jackpot design
This means that the appearance rate becomes 2/26. In addition,
"7", a jackalie jackpot design, is one of 26
This is a special lucky jackpot design
This means that the current rate becomes 1/26. In addition,
There are 2 out of 26 “5” that are lucky symbols,
This means that the appearance rate of lucky symbols is 2/26
Means All other normal patterns are 26 pieces
By the way, there are three, and the appearance rate of the normal jackpot symbol is 3
/ 26.

As described above, the appearance rate of a specific advantageous symbol is
The appearance rate of the normal symbols is kept lower, and a special advantageous symbol is prevented from appearing too much to secure the profit of the hall side, and the game content is devised so as to be enhanced. In addition, it is also possible to make the appearance rate of a specific advantageous symbol higher than the appearance rate of a normal symbol. In this case, it is better to consider the mutual profit balance between the hall and the player by changing the other probability variation modes. FIG. 40 shows a specific example of symbol data in which the appearance rate of a specific advantageous symbol is set to be higher than the appearance rate of a normal symbol. As shown in FIG. 40, there are 26 types of big hit symbol data addresses from +0 to +25, and symbol data is determined in a range of 0 to 9 corresponding to each address. Among them, the lucky big hit symbol “3” is 3 out of 26, which means that the appearance rate of the lucky big hit symbol is 3/26. The special lucky jackpot symbol “7” is 2
There are five of the six, which means that the appearance rate of the special lucky big hit symbol is 5/26. Further, there are two out of 26 lucky symbols like the normal symbol, "5", like the other normal symbols, which means that the appearance rate of the normal symbol lucky symbol and the normal symbol is 2/26. . As described above, since the appearance rates of the lucky big hit symbol and the special lucky big hit symbol are remarkably increased, it is possible to increase a player's sense of expectation. The symbol data shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 may be used in an appropriate combination. By doing so, it is possible to provide a variety of game contents in which the appearance rate of a specific advantageous symbol is lower or higher than the appearance rate of a normal symbol. In addition, control may be performed such that each symbol data shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 is instantaneously switched and used during the game.

[0105]Symbol monitoring process  FIG. 41 is a symbol monitor of step S330 in the big hit processing.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of visual processing. This subroutine
First, in step S600, the remaining consecutive channels
Check the number of times. Lucky large
Winning pattern and special lucky big hit pattern
Occasionally, with the remaining number of repetitions set to a finite value,
Is reduced each time there is a difference. Step S600
By checking the remaining number of consecutive chan
To judge how many more reams are left
You. In this case, the consecutive chan is the start after the end of the big hit.
It is a continuous big hit in the dynamic memory.
A big hit occurs immediately after the first shot. Then step
Proceeds to S602, and determines whether the number of remaining consecutive chan is [0]
And if the remaining number of consecutive channels = [0], step
In step S604, the big hit symbol is “7” (ie,
"777": Special lucky jackpot design)
It is determined whether or not. Equivalent to special lucky jackpot design
If so, the number of consecutive chans is set to [5] in step S606.
And the process proceeds to step S608. This allows
If a big hit occurs in the special lucky big hit design,
At least five consecutive big hits occur at least thereafter (that is,
Chang)

If it does not correspond to the special lucky big hit symbol in step S604, the process proceeds to step S610, where the big hit symbol is "3" (that is, whether the big hit symbol is "3").
"333": It is determined whether or not it is a lucky big hit symbol). If it corresponds to the lucky big hit symbol, the number of consecutive chan is set to [3] in step S612, and the process proceeds to step S608. As a result, when a big hit occurs in the lucky big hit symbol, the big hit is continuously generated at least three times thereafter (that is, consecutive chan). on the other hand,
If it is not a lucky big hit symbol in step S610, the process directly proceeds to step S608. Therefore, when it is neither a special lucky jackpot symbol nor a lucky jackpot symbol (when it is a normal jackpot symbol), the process proceeds to step S608, and the number of consecutive chan is not set to a finite value.

Step S606 or step S61
When the process proceeds to step S608 after step 2, whether the current big hit symbol is [5] at this step (ie,
"555": It is determined whether or not it is a lucky symbol in a normal figure. If it corresponds to the ordinary figure lucky symbol ("5"), the ordinary figure probability is changed in step S614. Specifically, the probability of the big picture big hit is increased. The up magnification is as described above. Thereafter, the process returns to the jackpot processing routine. On the other hand, if the current big hit symbol is not [5] in step S608, the process jumps to step S614 and returns. In this manner, by increasing the probability of hitting the ordinary figure, the winning rate of the ordinary electric starting port 64 is dramatically increased, and the probability of the occurrence of a big hit can be indirectly increased in terms of the starting winning. . Therefore, while rotating the special symbol well, the sense of expectation for the big hit increases, and the player's willingness to play can be further increased.
On the other hand, if the number of remaining consecutive chan is not [0] in step S602, it is determined that there is some remaining,
In step S616, [1] is calculated from the previous number of consecutive repetitions.
Is subtracted, and the process proceeds to step S608. Then, such a loop is repeated, and when the number of remaining consecutive channels becomes [0], the process branches from step S602 to step S604. Therefore, in the case of the special lucky big hit symbol and the lulucky big hit symbol, the big hit occurs continuously plural times.

As described above, in this embodiment, if any of the special lucky big hit symbol or the lucky big hit symbol among the big hit symbols of the special symbol display device 63 appears in the starting memory after the big hit, the special hit is continued after the big hit. Jackpot game is executed again. Therefore, in this case, the big hits will always be consecutive, so that the player's expectation in the course of the game can be greatly increased and the willingness to play can be improved. That is, when the symbol of the special symbol display device 63 is rotated in the start memory after the big hit, the degree of excitement of the game is increased, the fun is improved, and the interest of the player can be enhanced. As a result, it is possible for the hall to increase sales. Further, unlike control in which the jackpot probability is increased after the jackpot, it is possible to eliminate the situation in which the time until the jackpot is generated is short and the possessed balls disappear. Therefore, also in this case, the degree of excitement of the game is increased, the fun is increased, and the interest of the player can be enhanced. Especially, since several big hits occur at once,
There is no wasted time to acquire a large number of balls, and no long time is spent.

Next, a modification of this routine will be described. With the above control, for example, when a special lucky big hit symbol or a lucky big hit symbol appears again in the big hit consecutive chan, for the special lucky big hit symbol or the lucky big hit symbol again, The set control may be completely ignored and not performed. Also, when the special lucky big hit symbol or the lucky big hit symbol appears again at the time of the last consecutive chan (ie, when the remaining number of consecutive chans = 1) in the big hit serial chan, the special lucky big hit symbol again appears. Alternatively, the lucky big hit symbol may be made effective, and the big hit may be successively changed. In the process of step S608, the succession of big hits may be unconditionally branched to the NO side so that the probability of hitting the ordinary figure is not changed. This is to prevent the probability fluctuation between the special figure (the design of the variable display 62) and the ordinary figure from being duplicated. Further, as another mode, for example, during the jackpot franchise, YE
It is also possible to branch to the S side to change the probability of per-drawing. According to this, the winning rate to the ordinary electric starting port 64 is increased during the jackpot ren-chan, and it is possible to obtain more payouts. Further, in order to provide a variety of game contents, the various aspects described above may be appropriately combined during the progress of the game.

Next, FIG. 42 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
This is a diagram showing that this embodiment adopts the remaining guarantee method.
You. In this embodiment, the subroutine of the symbol monitoring process is used.
Only the contents of the chin are different from the above-described embodiment, and the other portions are the same.
You. Therefore, the subroutine of the symbol monitoring process
It will be described in detail.Symbol monitoring process (second embodiment)  FIG. 42 is a symbol monitor of step S330 in the big hit processing.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of visual processing. This subroutine

It is determined whether or not the number of consecutive chan is [3] or more. Remaining
If the number of consecutive chan is less than [3], step S664
To set the number of consecutive chans to [3] and step S
Proceed to 656. On the other hand, the number of remaining consecutive chan is [3] or more
At this time, the process in step S6 is performed without performing the process in step S664.
Proceed to 56.

Such processing is performed, for example, when a special lucky big hit symbol appears and the number of consecutive chan is set to [5], and then the remaining lucky big hit symbol is drawn in the state of [4]. , Suddenly forcibly set to [3] which is the set number of lucky big hit symbols,
This is because it is disadvantageous for the player. Therefore, when the lucky big hit symbol is drawn in a state where the remaining is [4], a large value (that is, [4]) is adopted as the remaining number.
That is, the remaining guarantee method guarantees the remaining number of consecutive chan. Next, step S656 and step S66
6 is performed. These processes are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and thereby the fluctuation control of the probability of hitting the ordinary figure is performed. As described above, when the special lucky jackpot symbol or the lucky jackpot symbol is drawn again during the jackpot consecutive chan, the right of the allocated special lucky jackpot symbol or lucky jackpot symbol is validated. That is, it is ensured that the remaining number of consecutive chan does not become lower than the number of the allocated special lucky big hit symbol or the lucky big hit symbol so as not to be disadvantageous at least for the player. Therefore, the willingness to play the game becomes more exciting than in the above-described embodiment, and the fun is increased.

As a modification, for example, step S
When the remaining number of consecutive chans is [3] in the process of 654,
Since the special lucky jackpot symbol has been drawn again, control may be performed to update the number of consecutive chan to [8] by calculating [3] + [5] = [8]. this is,
The actual addition method is adopted. In the same way, for example, when the number of remaining consecutive chan is “2” in the process of step S664, the lucky big hit symbol is drawn again.
By calculating [2] + [3] = [5], the number of consecutive chan is [5]
May be controlled. This is also the actual addition method. Next, FIG. 43 to FIG. 45 are diagrams showing a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a big hit continuous chan control is performed by another game. In this embodiment, only the contents of a subroutine related to another game are different from those of the above-described embodiment, and the others are the same. Therefore, a subroutine related to another game will be described in detail.

[0113] communicating Chang control process (Third Embodiment) FIG. 43 is a subroutine of the continuous Chang control process, step S in this subroutine, for example, the main routine
The program is assembled so as to be inserted and executed between Step 45 and Step S46. In addition, the probability fluctuation determination display 9
1 and the probability variation number display 92 are originally called as probability variation display, because they originally perform a separate game when controlling the probability of a big hit. When used as described above, it is appropriate to name the consecutive-channel determination display 91 and the consecutive-channel number determination display 92 appropriately. When the process proceeds to this subroutine, it is first determined in step S800 whether or not the special symbol display device 63 has started a big hit. When the big hit starts, another game starts. That is, the process proceeds to step S802 to start (start) the symbol rotation of the probability variation determination indicator 91. Next, in step S804, a random rotation time is set for the symbol on the probability change determination display 91, and the process returns to the main routine. The reason for setting the random rotation time is to extract a random number for determining the symbol of the probability variation determination display 91 at random timing from random numbers updated at a constant cycle, but this random number is unbalanced. , A random rotation time is set so as to eliminate the bias in extracting random numbers.

On the other hand, if it is not the start of the big hit in step S800 (for example, at the time of the second or subsequent routine after the start of the big hit or at the time of the ordinary operation completely unrelated to the big hit), the flow branches to step S806 to determine the probability. It is determined whether or not it is the symbol rotation stop timing for the change determination display 91. If it is not the symbol rotation stop timing (for example, during normal operation, or when the symbol is rotating but not stopped), step S81 is performed.
Proceed to 6. In step S816, it is determined whether or not it is the symbol rotation stop timing for the probability change frequency determination indicator 92. If it is not the symbol rotation stop timing, the process returns to the main routine. Therefore, during normal operation, step S800 → step S806 → step S806
A loop 816 → return is performed. In addition, even when the symbol of the probability change determination indicator 91 is rotating, the process goes through a loop of step S800 → step S806 → step S816 → return. When the symbol of the probability change determination display 91 reaches the stop timing, the process branches to YES in step S806 and proceeds to step S808 to stop the symbol rotation of the probability change determination display 91. Next, in step S810, it is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a big hit consecutive symbol (for example, “7” or “3”). The symbol rotation of 92 is started. Then, step S
At step 814, a random rotation time is set for the symbol on the probability change frequency determination display 92, and the process returns to the main routine. To set a random rotation time,
From the random numbers updated at a constant cycle, a random number for determining the symbol of the probability fluctuation number determination indicator 92 is extracted at random timing. However, since the extraction of the random numbers is biased, a random rotation time is set. , In order to eliminate the bias in extracting random numbers.

On the other hand, if the stop symbol of the probability variation determination indicator 91 is not the big hit consecutive symbol symbol at step S810, the process proceeds to step S816, and the probability variation number determination indicator 92 is displayed.
Is determined to be the symbol rotation stop timing. If it is not the symbol rotation stop timing, the process returns to the main routine. If it is the symbol rotation stop timing, the symbol rotation of the probability variation number determination display 92 is stopped in step S818. At this time, the probability change frequency determination indicator 9
The random number determining the symbol of No. 2 is taken out, and the number of times of the winning jackpot determination is determined by the value of the taken out random number. Stop symbols of the probability change determination display 91 are “3” and “7”
In any case, random number lottery is performed, and one of [1], [3], and [5] is determined as the number of jackpot consecutive chan determinations. Then, the process returns to the main routine. In this way, by rotating each symbol of the probability change determination display 91 and the probability change number determination display 92, another game is performed, and the big hit consecutive chan and the number of consecutive chan are determined.

[0116]Continuous Chang start processing FIG. 44 shows a subroutine of a consecutive chan start process, which is an example.
For example, the process is executed in step S330 in the big hit process.
The program as follows. Move to this subroutine
First, in step S830, the probability fluctuation determination display
The display symbol 91 is checked. Next, step S8
At 32, the displayed symbol is a big hit consecutive symbol (that is,
(7) or (3)). What
In addition, the display pattern of the probability fluctuation decision display 91 is other than this
There is "A", and the design "A" increases the probability
Things. At step S832, the jackpot ream symbol
If so, go to step S834 and hit the jackpot
A number determination process is performed (described later in a subroutine). On the other hand,
If not, return in this way
Then, based on the stop symbol of the probability change determination display 91,
A winning consecutive chan start process is performed.Processing for determining the number of consecutive chan  FIG. 45 is a flow chart of step S834 in the consecutive chan start process.
It is a figure which shows the subroutine of the number-of-times change determination process.
When shifting to this subroutine, first, in step S850
Check the remaining number of consecutive chan. The number of consecutive chan
It is set to a finite value by another game, and
This corresponds to a stop symbol of the rate change frequency determination indicator 92. did
Therefore, the remaining number of consecutive chan is the initial number of consecutive chan.
Becomes In step S850, check the remaining number of consecutive chan.
To determine how much of the remaining Chang
It is for.

Then, the process proceeds to a step S852 to determine whether or not the remaining number of consecutive chans is [0]. When the remaining number of consecutive chans = [0], the display of the probability variation number deciding display 92 is stopped in a step S854. It is determined whether or not the symbol is [5]. If the stop symbol is [5], the number of consecutive chan is set to [5] in step S856, and the flow advances to step S864. As a result, when the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 becomes [5], the jackpot is repeated at least five times thereafter. If the stop symbol of the probability change number display 92 is not [5] in step S854, step S86.
Proceeding to 0, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 is [3]. If the stop symbol is [3], the number of consecutive chan is set to [3] in step S862, and the flow advances to step S864. As a result, when the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 becomes [3], the jackpot is repeated at least three times thereafter. On the other hand, step S
If the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 is not [3] at 860, the process proceeds to step S864. Therefore, if the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 is neither [5] nor [3], the process proceeds to step S864, and the number of consecutive chan is not set to a finite value.

Next, in step S864, the stop symbol of the probability variation determination indicator 91 at this time is changed to the ordinary lucky symbol [A].
Is determined. When the stop symbol is the ordinary symbol lucky symbol [A], the ordinary symbol probability is changed in step S866. Specifically, the probability of the big picture big hit is increased. The up magnification is as described above. Then, return. On the other hand, when the big hit symbol of this time is not the ordinary lucky symbol [A] in step S864, step S86
Jump 6 and return. In this manner, by increasing the probability of hitting the ordinary figure, the winning rate to the ordinary electric starting port 64 is dramatically increased, and the probability of the occurrence of the big hit can be indirectly increased from the aspect of the starting winning. Therefore, while rotating the special symbol well, the sense of expectation for the big hit increases, and the player's willingness to play can be further increased. On the other hand, if the number of remaining consecutive chans is not [0] in step S852, it is determined that there is some remaining. In step S858, [1] is subtracted from the previous number of remaining consecutive chans, and the flow advances to step S864. And
Such a loop is repeated, and when the number of remaining consecutive chan becomes “0”, steps S852 to S85 are performed.
Branch to 4. Therefore, when the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 is [5] or [3], the jackpot is repeated multiple times.

Next, a modification of this routine will be described.
In the above-described control, for example, when the stop symbol of the probability change number determination display device 92 appears again as [5] or [3] during the jackpot consecutive chan, the stop symbol [5] or [3] Regarding [3], the jackpot continuous chan control may be ignored at all. In the big hit consecutive chan, when the last remaining consecutive chan count is reached (that is, when the remaining consecutive chan count is 1), the stop symbol of the probability change frequency determination indicator 92 is changed to [5] again.
Alternatively, when it appears as [3], the stop symbol [5] or [3] may be made valid again, and the big hit may be continuously changed. In the process of step S864, the jackpot chan may be unconditionally branched to the NO side so as not to change the probability of hitting the ordinary figure.
This is to prevent the probability fluctuation between the special figure (the design of the variable display 62) and the ordinary figure from being duplicated. Further, as another mode, for example, during the jackpot, the Y
It is also possible to branch to the ES side to vary the probability of per-drawing. According to this, the winning rate to the ordinary electric starting port 64 is increased during the jackpot ren-chan, and it is possible to obtain more payouts. Further, in order to provide a variety of game contents, the various aspects described above may be appropriately combined during the progress of the game.

Next, a description will be given of a modified embodiment different from the control contents of the above embodiments. A) Opening condition of the ordinary electric starting port 64 In the above embodiment, the passage of the ball through the ordinary figure gate is a trigger condition for the ordinary figure display 64a of the ordinary electric starting port 64 to start rotating, and a specific display pattern In this case, the electric start port 64 is normally opened. However, the trigger condition is not limited to such an open condition. For example, when a direct prize to a chucker (start prize port) is detected, or when the V of the big prize port is detected. A case where a ball is won in the winning opening (that is, when a winning in the specific winning opening is detected: the winning of the continuous V is detected) may be adopted. B) The jackpot probability of the special symbol display device is not limited to the example in the above embodiment, and may be another value. For example, 1/180, 1/2
Adjustment can be made from the outside in three stages of 00 and 1/220. At this time, normally, the standard probability is 1/200, and it is fluctuated up and down by about 10%. In this case, 2
You may make it fluctuate about 0%. Similarly, the jackpot probability (ordinary figure jackpot probability) of the ordinary symbol display device is not limited to the example in the above embodiment, but may be another value. C) During the increase of the jackpot probability, when there is a prize in a specific winning opening (for example, a starting winning opening), the prize ball discharge number may be controlled and discharged to a larger one. For example, when the normal winning probability is five, the starting winning opening is five, and when the general winning opening is fifteen, only the big hit probability is increased to twelve or ten, and a value larger than at least five discharging is set. Good. In this way, the number of balls during the increase in the jackpot probability increases, the ball holding becomes better, the number of balls to be purchased before the jackpot is reduced is reduced, which is advantageous to the player, and motivation to play is increased.

Note that the mode of the displacement operation of the variable display in the special symbol display device is not limited to the style as in the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. In addition, the movable timing of the movable display can be variously modified. The location of the ball rental machine is not limited to the above example. For example, the pachinko machine may be integrated with the pachinko machine by providing it on the front panel portion or the dish decoration. In addition,
Of course, the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine without a ball rental machine. Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the example applied to the pachinko machine of the prepaid card system as in the above embodiment. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a credit-type pachinko machine. Further, the present invention can be widely applied not only to the prepaid card system but also to a pachinko machine that does not use a card at all.
