In addition, in the center of the front side of the gaming machine installation facility (amusement island) 50 for installing the pachinko machine 10 in the amusement hall, various information such as the number of jackpots won by the pachinko machine 10 is displayed. Is installed.

  In FIG. 2, on the lower right side of the game area 13a of the game board 13, there are a first special figure display H0 as a 7-segment type display means and a second special figure display H1 as a 7-segment type display means. Is provided. Further, in the approximate center of the game area 13a of the game board 13, a center accessory 20 having a variable display H2 as a liquid crystal display type display means is disposed. The variable display H2 is provided at the center of the center accessory 20. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, a case where the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display device H0 is referred to as “first variation game”, and a symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display device H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. There is. On the other hand, in the display effects related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display decorations for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped simultaneously ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state). ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 correspond to lottery results of a big hit lottery and a small lottery lottery from among a plurality of types (in this embodiment, 111 types) of special drawings. One special figure to be selected is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 111 types of special charts are 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and 10 kinds of jackpot symbols (results of small hits display) that can recognize jackpots. )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the winning combination of symbols is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is awarded with a bonus game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([123] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game starts (decoration of each column starts to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are the same type and are stopped and displayed, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops the decorative drawing next is the first column The second stop display column is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special combination displayed on the first special graphic display H0 or the second special graphic display H1 and a combination of symbols displayed on the variable display H2 are associated with each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 in a definite stop display, the variable big indicator H2 also has a big hit symbol such as [222] or [444] in principle. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a combination of symbols such as [121] and [345] is determined also on the variable display H2. The stop is displayed. Further, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination of [123] suggesting the probability change is also displayed on the variable display H2. It has become so. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects related to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which the three symbol combinations are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 so as to sandwich the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are turned on is called “0”, and the general map shown when only the right LED is turned on is called “1”. The usual figure shown by turning on only the LED is the ordinary figure “2”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or deviation from a symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1” or “2”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

The second hold indicator Rb enters the second start winning opening 27 and stores the number of start hold balls stored as the start hold ball (RAM 30c) (hereinafter referred to as “second special figure start hold”). The number of times of the second variable game being held is informed by the display content of the second hold indicator Rb. The second special figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the second start prize opening 27, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the second variable game is started. When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 27 during the second variable game (or the first variable game), the second special figure start reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number. (4 in the present embodiment) is accumulated. The second hold indicator Rb is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means. For example, when two light-emitting means are lit, it is notified that two second variation games are on hold.

  An operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 27 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 27). The second start winning opening 27 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26, and in this closed state, a game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, in the second start winning opening 27, when a game is given per usual figure, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened to open the second starting winning opening 27 so that a game ball can be won. . That is, when a game is given per game, a game ball can be awarded to the second start prize opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26, so that it becomes easier to win a game ball at the second start prize slot 27, The player can obtain a chance to easily acquire the starting condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal symbol holding display M is disposed above the normal symbol display H10. The normal symbol hold indicator M has the number of stored start balls stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c) as the game balls pass through the actuating gate 23 and becomes the start hold balls (hereinafter referred to as “the normal figure start hold memory number”). The number of times of the regular game being held is notified by the display content of the normal symbol hold display M.

  The usual figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual figure game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the normal map start reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). And the normal symbol hold | maintenance display M is comprised by the multiple (4 pieces) light emission means. When one light-emitting means is lit, it is informed that one normal game is pending.

Therefore, the operation button 41 of the present embodiment serves as an effect operating means operated by the player.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1549 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1549 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. In the present embodiment, since the predetermined number of times is set to 10,000, the probability variation state is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result as to whether or not the opening / closing blade 26 is opened is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the ordinary game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state which fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is entered, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above.

  In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is applied than when the normal state is applied. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is stopped and displayed on the respective displays H0 to H2 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit (15 rounds or two rounds in this embodiment). . One round game is performed until the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times. During one round game, the grand prize opening device 29 has a predetermined number (the maximum number of balls to be entered). ) Until the game ball wins or until the specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  And in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the eight types of big hit games shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become so. Of the eight types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the jackpot symbols of 100 kinds of special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, symbol D, symbol F, symbol G and It is classified into seven groups of symbol H.

  10 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed to the symbol A. Similarly, two types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are assigned to the symbol B. Three types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are assigned to the symbol C. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0, 18 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol D. In the symbol F, ten types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed. Of the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0, 32 types of big hit symbols are assigned to the symbol G.

The Further, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big win mouth door 28 of the big win port device 29 of each round game is the same as the 15R normal probable big hit game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big win mouth door 28 of the big win port device 29 of each round game, and the number of symbol variation games to which the improved winning rate is given, It is the same. In other words, the 15R normal non-probable change jackpot game and the 15R probability change secret jackpot game look exactly the same.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the interval time between rounds in the 15R normal non-probability large hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  It is given when a small hit symbol classified as symbol I is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a small hit symbol classified as symbol i is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. In the small hit game, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number (count number) of balls for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability change state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game, and the short time state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery. For example, even after the small hit game ends, the time-short state is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the improved winning rate is continuously given after the small hit game ends. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In the small hit game, “0 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.936 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.32 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “2.64 (seconds)” composed of “0.32 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.32 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is the second round after the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game. The time until the big prize opening device 29 is closed is the same time. Further, the round game time of the small hit game is the same as the time until the big prize opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the jump-up big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (2.64 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in a round game of small hit games, it is practical to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (2.64 (seconds)). It is impossible.

The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

  Further, an external terminal board 40 as an external output device is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The external terminal board 40 includes a hall computer HC (shown in FIG. 3) as an external device installed in a game room management room or the like and the number of jackpots for managing the operating state of each pachinko machine installed in the game hall. It is a board | substrate connected to alerting | reporting apparatus KH.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. Further, an external terminal board 40 is connected to the main control board 30, and a hall computer HC is connected to the external terminal board 40. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to fluctuate (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  The variation pattern is either the variation pattern for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when winning the small hit lottery, the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery In addition, it includes a variation pattern for a loss effect selected in the case of a loss that has not been won. The variation pattern for the offending production forms a reach, and after the reach production is performed, the fluctuation pattern for the offending reach production that is finally a deviation, and the fluctuation for the offending production that is a deviation without forming the reach. There is a pattern.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect is selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R positive variable secret big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game are determined. There are normal fluctuation patterns. The variation pattern for the big hit effect includes a specific variation pattern that is selected when the jump-up big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are determined. The specific variation pattern selected when the jump-up jackpot game or the like is determined is the same as the content of the design variation game specified by the variation pattern for the small hit effect, and the same variation time corresponds. The pattern is attached.

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation pattern is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect and finally the symbol combination of the jackpot. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern will be described in detail.
When the first variation game is played based on the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 are the final combination of the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol that can recognize the big hit respectively. Is displayed. In addition, when the second variation game is played based on the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect, the big special symbol display and the big hit symbol which can recognize the big hit respectively on the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2. The combination is finally displayed.

  When the first variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern selected when the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variation big hit game, and the 2R special probability variation big hit game are determined, the first special figure display H0 and In the variable display H2, the jackpot symbol and the symbol combination for suggesting the probability variation are finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern, the big special symbol display and the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation are finally displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, respectively. It has become. For example, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is determined, the reach indication is performed on the variable display H2, and then the probability variation suggestion by the decoration diagram is performed. At the same time as the symbol combination is displayed, a big hit symbol based on the special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 are small. The winning symbol combination and the symbol combination suggesting the probability change are finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively. The combination of the small hit symbol and the symbol suggesting the probability variation is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the small hit effect, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation by the decorative drawing is displayed, The small special symbol according to the special figure is displayed on the first special figure display H0.

  In addition, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 each have a combination of symbols of outliers and outliers (outlier reach). It is designed to be displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 each have a symbol combination of outliers and outliers (outlier reach). It is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed by the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers by the decorative drawing is displayed, In the 1 special figure display H0, the off symbol by the special figure is displayed.

  Then, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the offending effect, after the normal variation on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, the combination of the out symbol and the out symbol combination is final. Is displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the off-stage production, the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 are finally displayed after the normal variation, respectively, after the normal variation. It is a pattern to be. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the offending effect, after the symbol variation game is started, the normal variation is performed, and the symbol combination of the deviation by the decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2, In the first special figure display H0, the off symbol according to the special figure is displayed.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 integers from 0 to 1548) that the random number for the hit determination can take. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The jackpot determination value is also commonly used in the first variable game and the second variable game. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 different integers from 0 to 1548) that can be taken by random numbers for hit determination. Note that the small hit determination value is the first variation game and the second variation game (by the value of the special symbol variation processing flag indicating which of the first variation game and the second variation game is performed). The number is different. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values when the first variable game is played (12 in this embodiment) is the number of small hit determination values when the second variable game is played (this execution) More than 6) in the form. Note that the random number for hit determination is used as it is in the big hit determination. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. In each special figure, this special figure distribution random number is distributed by a predetermined number (one in this embodiment), and the main CPU 30a acquires it when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the special distribution random number. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated values in the RAM 30c as special figure distribution random number values, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number values by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random number values. It is supposed to be. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  Note that the jackpot symbol determined by which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to D and F to H (in the case of the second variation game, the symbol Which group is classified into a to e and h). Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to D and F to H. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the first variation game, a symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, and a symbol classified as symbol B is displayed with a probability of 2/100. The symbol classified as symbol C is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and the symbol classified as symbol D is displayed with a probability of 18/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol F as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, a symbol classified as symbol G is displayed with a probability of 32/100, and a symbol classified as symbol H is 25/100. Will be displayed with the probability of.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to e and h. . For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 40/100, and a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 7/100. The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 13/100, and the symbol classified as symbol d is displayed with a probability of 12/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol e as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and a symbol classified as symbol h is displayed with a probability of 25/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the ten types of small hits, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit. In addition, the RAM 30c stores a random number for assigning a common figure used for determining a type of a common figure that will be a winning symbol when the ordinary game is won.

  The ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the normal hit, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the normal hit determination random number (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250). Note that the number of normal hit determination values varies depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the number of normal hit determination values when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned (this embodiment) 240) is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (30 in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a random number for normal hit determination used at the time of normal hit determination. In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination random number is acquired when the game ball passes through the operating gate 23.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program. The general CPU 31a is connected to the operation button 41, and detects that the operation button 41 has been pressed by inputting a detection signal indicating that the operation button 41 has been pressed from the operation button 41. It is supposed to be.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. If the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

  If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the first special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the first special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the second special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (one addition), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the second special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. Note that the RAM 30c of the present embodiment serves as a holding storage unit.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the big hit game (or the small hit game) is being executed (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start reserved memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a issues a demonstration designation command for starting execution of a demonstration effect that attracts the player's interest to the pachinko machine 10. It is determined whether it has already been output (step S16). If this determination result is negative (when no demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c to the first variation. A value [0] indicating that the game is to be executed is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S19), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S20).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1549.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the jackpot symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S23). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified into one of symbols A to D and F to H. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “9” is Special jackpot symbols classified as special figure A and corresponding to special figure distributed random numbers “10” to “11” are classified as special figure B and correspond to special figure distributed random numbers “12” to “14”. The special bonus jackpot symbol is classified as special figure C. Further, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbols of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “15” to “32” are classified into the special figure D, and the special figure distributed random number “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “33” to “42” is classified as special symbol F, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special symbol distribution random numbers “43” to “74” is classified as the special symbol G. Is done. When displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “75” to “99” is classified into the special figure H. Thereby, in step S23, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol A as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 10/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 2/100 and is classified as symbol C in step S23. The symbol to be classified as symbol D is determined with a probability of 18/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 10/100 and is classified as the symbol G in step S23. The symbol that is classified into the symbol H is determined with a probability of 25/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S24). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H, the main CPU 30a determines a normal variation pattern for jackpot effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G, the main CPU 30a determines a specific variation pattern for jackpot effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S25). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S26). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the game is the first variation game (whether or not [0] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag). Yes. Specifically, in the case of the first floating game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 12/1549, and the small hit determination in the case of the second variable game. Is higher than the probability (6/1549 in this embodiment) that the determination result is affirmative.

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small hit symbols (symbol I) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small bonus symbol allocation random number. (Step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S30). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c during the process of step S30 matches the reach determination value. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery for determining whether or not to perform a reach effect, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by random numbers for reach determination. Yes. Further, the reach determination value is different depending on the gaming state, the first special figure holding memory number, and the special symbol variation processing flag value.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), When the number of one special figure hold memory is “0” “1”, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the reach determination with a probability of 34/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. If “2”, the reach determination is affirmative with a probability of 17/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. In the case of “3”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 5/241. As described above, the greater the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the more first variable games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the faster the digestion of the first variation game held. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the fewer the first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a, regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of first special figure hold memory, Affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 10/241. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that makes it easy for the second variation game to be performed is given, it is possible to suppress the execution of the useless reach reach effect and quickly execute the first variation game that is put on hold. it can.

  If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S31). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S30 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S33). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns for the offending effect (step S34). At this time, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, The variation pattern for the off-stage production with the variation time of 12 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the first special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern for an off-stage effect with a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the first special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern for an off-state effect with a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the first variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the more the first variation game being held can be executed more quickly. On the other hand, the smaller the first variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of first special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern of 15 seconds, a variation pattern of 7 seconds, a variation of 3 seconds. One of the fluctuation patterns is determined for the off-stage effect. The main CPU 30a selects a 15-second variation pattern with a high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the improved entrance rate is given. As a result, when a state in which the second rate change game is likely to be performed is provided, the time required for winning the game ball at the second start winning opening 27 is increased by increasing the time for change. ing.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. A value [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S35). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number (-1) (step S36), and is associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S37).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549 in the normal state (when the probability is low), and the probability variation state (when the probability is high). The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 40/1549.

  When the determination result of step S38 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S39). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the big hit symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number (step S40). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified into one of symbols a to e and h. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “15” to “27”, “59”, “60”, “60” The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “75” to “99” is classified as special figure a. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “10” to “11”, “14”, “28” to “31” It is classified in FIG. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure big numbers corresponding to special figure distribution random numbers “6” to “9”, “43” to “47”, “55” to “58” The symbol is classified as special figure c. In addition, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “32” to “39”, “48” to “50”, “54” The jackpot symbol of the special figure classified in FIG. D and corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “51” to “53” is classified into the special figure e. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “5”, “12” to “13”, “40” to “42”, “61” to “74”. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to "" is classified as a special figure h.

  As a result, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol a as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 40/100. Similarly, in step S40, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol b with a probability of 7/100, determines the symbol classified as symbol c with a probability of 13/100, and is classified as symbol d. Is determined with a probability of 12/100. Further, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol e with a probability of 3/100, and determines a symbol classified as the symbol h with a probability of 25/100. As described above, in the first variation game and the second variation game, the jackpot symbols to which the probability variation state is given are different types.

  After the process of step S40, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines the variation pattern for the jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, e, and h (ie, 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, 15R normal probability variable big hit game. , 15R probability change secret big hit game and 15R normal non-probability big hit game) are determined from the normal variation patterns for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol b (that is, when a jump-up jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a determines a specific variation pattern for the jackpot effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S42). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S38 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made to determine a small hit (lottery lottery) (step S43). In the present embodiment, in the case of the second variation game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 6/1549, and the small variation in the case of the first variation game. It is lower than the hit probability (12/1549).

  When the determination result of step S43 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S44). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from the small bonus symbols (symbol i) based on the acquired special hit symbol distribution random number. Determine (step S45). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S46).

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays a second final symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S43 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect (step S47). Note that the reach determination value varies depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 13B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), the main CPU 30a Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of 241. On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is assigned, the main CPU 30a is assigned the probability variation state (the winning probability of the big hit determination is high probability). ), The reach determination is positively determined with a probability of 7/241. Further, the main CPU 30a, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the probability variation state is not given (the winning probability of the big hit determination is low probability) ), The reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 9/241.

  If the determination result in step S47 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S48). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect (step S49). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S47 is negative (when reach determination is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off-line symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S50). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns for the offending effect (step S51). At this time, the determined variation pattern for the offending effect differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the second special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, The variation pattern for the off-stage production with the variation time of 12 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern for an off-stage effect with a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the second special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern for an off-state effect with a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the second variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the second variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of second special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation process flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern of 15 seconds, a variation pattern of 7 seconds, a variation pattern of 3 seconds. One of the fluctuation patterns is determined for the off-stage effect. The main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern of 3 seconds with a high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is shortened and the second variation game that is put on hold is executed as soon as possible. Yes.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the improved winning rate is given, and as a result, the improved winning rate is given. In the probability variation state or the short time state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. In other words, when the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different and the second variable game is a big hit, all the 15 round big hit games are awarded. For this reason, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game content advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, in the probability variation state, the second variation game is likely to be continuously executed. When the second variation game is a big hit, 15 rounds of the big variation game are compared with the first variation game. The probability of being granted is high. From this, when the big hits continue in the probability variation state or the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 15 rounds is high.

  Also, the main CPU 30a compares the hit determination stored as the second start hold ball as compared with the case where the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start hold ball (in the case of the first variation game). When the determination is based on the random number for use (in the case of the second variable game), the probability of affirming the small hit determination is made lower. For this reason, in the situation where the state of increasing the entrance rate is given and the second variable game is likely to be played, the possibility that a small hit game that is not expected to be profitable for the player is reduced. In other words, in the state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the interest of the game can be improved without causing the player to feel stress. Also, after the symbol variation game is executed, if the big prize opening door 28 is opened for 0.32 seconds, the player after the second variation game is more likely to win the jump-up jackpot than the first variation game. It can be expected that a game has been granted.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a). The control contents executed by the main CPU 30a are as follows: 15R special probability variable jackpot game, jump up jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, 2R special probability variable jackpot game And 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game will be described for each jackpot game.

  First, the control when the 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (5.5 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (5.568 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to “1” and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set the operation flag to “1”. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the probability variation state giving number indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the probability variation state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given. The number of times that the entrance rate improvement state is applied and the number of times that the probability variation state is imparted are decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. ) In addition, each flag, the probability variation state giving frequency, and the operation frequency are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Further, each flag, the probability variation state grant count and the actuation count are cleared ("0" is set) even when a big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, during the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given ( (See FIG. 2). Further, the main CPU 30a sends a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game is given via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 15R special probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. Output to an external device.

Next, control when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the round game of the first round, and at the same time the round game time T4 (max 29. 92 seconds). In this embodiment, the main CPU 30a performs the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first round of each of the 15 special probability variable jackpot game, 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and 15R normal non-probability jackpot game. Performs control with different game content.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the main CPU 30a sets the large winning opening door 28 of the large winning opening device 29 on condition that the upper limit number of game balls have not entered. , Open up to 3 times. The numbers “1” to “3” in FIG. 14A indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal to open the large winning opening door 28 of the first large winning opening apparatus 29, and also wins a grand prize to the overall control board 31. An opening command for instructing the number of times of opening of the special winning opening door 28 of the mouth device 29 is output. At the time of the first opening, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command for instructing the number of opening “1 (first)”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 of the special prize opening device 29 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, 1 A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of the big winning opening door 28 of the second big winning opening apparatus 29. At the same time, the main CPU 30 a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of times of closing of the special prize opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. At the first closing time, the main CPU 30a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of closing times “1 (first time)”.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the second opening of the big prize opening door 28, and the number of opening of the big winning opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “2 (second)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (0.32 seconds) elapses, the main big prize opening door 28 is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the second prize opening door 28 is closed (second closing).

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (second closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INb (2.92 seconds) of the intra-round interval set between the second opening and the third opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INb has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the third large winning opening door 28 is opened, and the number of times the large winning opening door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “3 (first time)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (third opening), and when the opening time T2 (max 24.36 seconds) has elapsed, the third big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the third prize winning door 28 is closed (third closing).

  Note that the main CPU 30a ends the round game when the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize winning door 28 during the round game reaches the upper limit number of balls (specified number). For this reason, even in the jump-up jackpot game, when a maximum number of game balls are entered during the first round game, the main CPU 30a ends the round game at that time. For example, at the time of the third release, if a maximum number of game balls are entered before the opening time T2 has elapsed, the round game is terminated at that time.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that ended the round game of the first round performs control so that each round game from the second round is executed, and then the ending is executed, like the 15R special probability variable big hit game. That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INc (2) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round in order to start the round game of the second round. .0 seconds), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the second round game when the end condition (elapse of the round game time T3 (25 seconds) or the upper limit number of balls entered) is satisfied in the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (5.568 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game and sets “1” to the probability variation flag and the operation flag. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the probability variation state giving frequency and the operation frequency. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0].

Next, the control when the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are given will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T11 (max 0. 32 seconds). The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (first opening), and if the round gaming time T11 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the first round game A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time INc has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and the round game time T11 shown in FIG. 14 (b). The measurement of (max 0.32 seconds) is started. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (second opening), and if the round gaming time T11 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the second round game A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the round game of the second round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.924 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0]. At that time, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag and the operation flag when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded. Further, when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation state provision number of times and the operation number of times to 10,000 times.

  On the other hand, when the 2R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag to “1” and sets the probability variation state provision number to 10,000. Further, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the operation flag to “1” if the operation flag is set to “1” at the start of the symbol variation game where the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded. Set “1” and set the number of actuations to 10,000 times. On the other hand, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a operates the flag if the operation flag and the probability variable flag are not set to "1" at the start of the symbol variation game where the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded. “1” is not set in the. Further, the main CPU 30a controls to turn on the 2R display lamp L2 during the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and during the 2R special probability variable big hit game. In addition, when 2R normal probable big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a ends the ending effect after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for the upper limit round number of double round big hit games (two times). Until then, a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game has been awarded via the external terminal board 40 is output to an external device such as a hall computer HC. In addition, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is given and the entry rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has an upper limit round number of double round big hit games (two times). A jackpot game state signal for notifying that a jackpot game has been awarded is output to an external device such as the hall computer HC through the external terminal board 40 from when the jackpot door 28 is opened until the end of the ending effect. It is like that.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control board 31 (the general CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time T21 (max 2.64 seconds) shown in FIG. ) Measurement starts. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14C, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize winning door 28 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. . The numbers “1” and “2” in FIG. 14C indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the main big winning opening door 28 is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.32 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize is received. In order to end the opening of the door 28, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.936 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0]. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, in the first round of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the small hit game and the big winning door A state is created in which the 28 open modes are the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first opening time T1 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time The winning opening door 28 is opened twice by multiplying T1 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds). In addition, as shown in FIG. 14B, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the first round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) +2 The grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice with the round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds) of the round. Further, as shown in FIG. 14C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T22 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T22 (0.32 seconds). ) = Round game time T21 (2.64 seconds) is multiplied and the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. In other words, in the jump-up jackpot game, the time from the first opening of the first prize opening door 28 to the end of the second round, the 2R special probability variable jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, The time from the start of the first opening of the big winning door 28 in the small hit game to the end of the second opening is set to “2.64 (seconds)”. That is, in the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening mode for “2.64 (seconds)”. become.

  From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, even if the open state of the big prize opening door 28 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game. . Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the jump-up big hit game, after the start of the first round and until the third release is performed, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the small bonus game It cannot be distinguished from winning games. As a result, even if the player opens the prize winning door 28 twice in a short time (0.32 seconds), whether the game is a jump-up jackpot game or a probability-changing two-round jackpot game from the open mode. Or whether it is a small hit game.

  In addition, in the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability jackpot game, the first prize winning door 28 for the first to tenth rounds. The opening mode is the same. Therefore, from the opening state of the big winning door 28 up to the 1st to 10th rounds, 15R special probability variation jackpot game, 15R probability variation secret jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variation jackpot game, 15R normal non-probability variation It is not possible to recognize which jackpot game is a jackpot game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, 11 of the eleventh round winning door 28 in the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability variable hit game 11 The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 up to the 15th round is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game, the winning door in the opening mode of opening time T6 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds). 28 is opened and closed 5 times. Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability change big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, in each round game of 11 to 15 rounds, the release time T8 (0. 32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds). In other words, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the release time T8 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) from the 11th round onwards. In this manner, the special winning opening door 28 is opened and closed five times. In other words, the 11th round big win game 28 opening mode of the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game up to the 11th to the 15th round The opening mode of the winning opening door 28 is the same. Therefore, from the eleventh round until the grand prize winning door 28 is opened and closed five times, any of the big hit games of the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the step-up big hit game, and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game from the open mode. I can't recognize it.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the operation gate 23 (step S61). That is, in step S61, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a fourth detection signal output when the gate sensor SE4 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process. If the determination result of step S61 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of usual charts start pending storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit of 4 (step S62). If the determination result of step S62 is negative (the number of ordinary charts start hold storage = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

  If the determination result in step S62 is affirmative (the number of reserved general-purpose drawings on hold <4), the main CPU 30a increments the number of reserved general-purpose charts on hold by 1 (1), and rewrites the number of reserved general-purpose charts on-hold (step S63). . Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for ordinary hit determination and the value of the random number for normal distribution from the RAM 30c, and obtains the value in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number of reserved memory for normal start. (Step S64). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main CPU 30a is configured to execute a normal symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal chart is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the normal hit game is being played (step S71). When the determination result of step S71 is affirmative (when the normal game is being played or the normal winning game is being played), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S71 is negative (when the normal game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a reads the normal start reservation memory number (step S72), and the normal start reservation memory number. Is greater than “0” (step S73).

  When the determination result of step S73 is negative (when the normal figure start hold storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S73 is affirmative (when the normal figure start hold memory number> 0), the main CPU 30a subtracts “-1” from the number of the general figure start hold memory number (−1) (step S74). Then, the value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in correspondence with the number of reserved normal start is stored (step S75).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination (step S76). In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given. In the normal state (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 30/251, and the entrance rate improvement state is When it is given, the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is positive (normal hit probability) is 240/251.

  When the determination result of step S76 is affirmative (in the case of normal hit), the main CPU 30a sets the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol hit symbol [1] [2]. (Step S77). In step S77, the main CPU 30a determines the winning symbol [2] advantageous to the player based on the acquired value of the random number assigned to the player with a probability of 1/11, which is disadvantageous than the winning symbol [2]. The hitting symbol [1] is determined with a probability of 10/11. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S76 is negative (in the case of a loss), the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol displayed as a fixed stop on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol error symbol [0] ( Step S78).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a general variation pattern from a plurality of types of general variation patterns (step S79). The normal variation pattern is a normal variation pattern that is determined in the normal state when the entrance rate improvement state is not applied, and an entrance that is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is applied It is categorized into the usual figure fluctuation pattern for the rate improvement state. Furthermore, the normal pattern change pattern for the normal state in the present embodiment is provided with two types of patterns having different change times. Specifically, there are provided a first normal fluctuation pattern having a long fluctuation time of 10,000 ms and a second normal fluctuation pattern having a 5000 ms shorter than the fluctuation time of the first normal fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, there is only one type of the common map variation pattern for the entrance rate improvement state in the present embodiment, and the variation time is longer than the variation time of either the first general map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern. It is a 3rd common figure fluctuation pattern in which short time (1000 ms) is set.

  In step S79, the main CPU 30a determines the third general-purpose variation pattern when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, Either the normal map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern is determined. The main CPU 30a determines the first common map variation pattern with a probability of 91/101 and determines the second general map variation pattern with a probability of 10/101 when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. It is like that.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the normal variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the general game (step S80). Specifically, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so that the normal symbol starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display H10 to display the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the determined common symbol variation pattern. Control display content.

When determining the normal hit, the main CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the normal game based on the determined normal fluctuation pattern.
The main CPU 30a opens the open / close blades 26 three times when the usual game is finished, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and opens until 1160 ms elapses after opening each time. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a opens the open / close blade 26 once when the normal game is finished, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the normal symbol is [1]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the release. Further, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once when the entrance game rate improvement state is not given when the usual game is finished and the winning symbol by the normal symbol is [2]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 2500 ms elapses after the release.

  Note that the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since the main CPU 30a opened. Similarly, even if the main CPU 30a has not been opened a predetermined number of times, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing accordingly. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Similarly, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the general CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the decorative symbol to be displayed is determined.

  More specifically, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the overall CPU 31a recognizes that the 15R special probability variable big hit game is given as a combination of the decorative symbols and the jackpot Possible symbol combinations [777] based on a specific symbol that can be obtained, or a combination of symbols that can be expected to win a large number of prize balls and that a probability variation state may be given and that a jackpot can be recognized ([ 111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [888]).

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a step-up jackpot game, a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, or a 15R normal non-probable variable jackpot game, a combination of decorative symbols As a matter of course, a symbol combination of chances is determined. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jump-up jackpot game, a 2R special probability variation jackpot game, or a 2R normal probability variation jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a designates a symbol combination of probability variation as a symbol pattern combination. To decide. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the general CPU 31a selects a symbol combination indicating a probability change in the same manner as in the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game. decide.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination for the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and the variation pattern for the offending effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the off symbol. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design of each column to the display control board 32. Further, when the main CPU 30a inputs an all symbols stop command, the main CPU 30a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

  In addition, when the jackpot game is awarded, the general CPU 31a determines an effect pattern that specifies the specific effect contents of the jackpot game, based on the combination of the designated final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol based on the determined decoration symbol, The effect pattern is output.

  More specifically, if the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variable big hit game and the symbol combination based on the specific symbol is determined as a decorative symbol, the general CPU 31a determines that the 15R special probability variable big hit game An effect pattern in which the game effect indicating that is given is set as the effect content of the big hit game is output. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variation jackpot game, and the game symbol combination is determined as a decorative symbol, the general CPU 31a determines that the first to tenth rounds An effect pattern in which the game effect indicating that the 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded in any one of the round games is output as the effect content of the jackpot game.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a step-up jackpot game, a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game or a 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game, In the game, an effect pattern is output in which a game effect suggesting whether or not a probable change state is given after the jackpot game ends is set as the effect content of the jackpot game.

  In addition, the general CPU 31a suggests that a probability variation state may be given if the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 2R special probability variable big hit game or a 2R normal probability variable big hit game. A production pattern whose production is the content of the big hit game is output. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the jump-up jackpot game, the general CPU 31a executes a game effect having the same content as the effect content of the 2R special probability variable jackpot game, and then the probability change state. The effect pattern which makes the game effect which shows that is awarded to the effect content of a jackpot game is output.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect pattern in which a game effect having the same content as the effect content of the 2R special probability variable big hit game is used as the effect content of the small hit game.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol combination game. Control the content. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the inputted decoration design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the opening effect. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the round effect. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the ending effect. Thereby, in the variable display H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

In the present embodiment, when the operation button 41 is operated during execution of the demonstration effect, the contents of the effect during the demonstration effect change. This will be described in detail below.
When the general CPU 31a inputs a demonstration designation command from the main CPU 30a, it outputs a standby demonstration designation command to the display control board 32. When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs this standby demonstration designation command, the standby demonstration effect stands by in a state in which the symbol combination by the decorative figure displayed in a fixed stop state is displayed so that the symbol variation game can be executed immediately. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to execute.

  Then, after 60 seconds have elapsed since the standby demonstration designation command is output, the general CPU 31a performs a title demonstration presentation (display demonstration presentation) that displays a title indicating the model name of the pachinko machine 10 as a character string and appeals to the player. To output a title demonstration effect command. Thereby, sub CPU32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that a title demonstration effect may be performed. This title demonstration effect is continuously executed for 60 seconds unless the symbol variation game or the big hit game is executed. In addition, if the symbol variation game or the big hit game is not executed even after the title demonstration effect is continuously executed for 60 seconds, the general CPU 31a outputs the title demonstration effect instruction command again, and the title demonstration effect is displayed. It is repeatedly executed until a variable game is played. In addition, after a predetermined time (28 seconds in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the title demonstration production started (after outputting the title demonstration production instruction command), the sub CPU 32a displays “Push” to prompt the operation button 41 to be operated. "Is displayed. In addition, after the title demonstration effect is executed (after outputting the title demonstration effect instruction command), the overall CPU 31a sets the operation valid period of the operation button 41 after a predetermined time has elapsed. The operation valid period of the operation button 41 is set for 7 seconds from the start of the title demonstration effect to the time after 25 seconds to 35 seconds.

Further, the overall CPU 31a executes the demonstration effect content determination process shown in FIG. 18 at predetermined intervals during the title demonstration effect.
When executing the demonstration effect content determination process, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not a detection signal is input from the operation button 41 during the operation valid period, that is, whether or not the operation button 41 is operated (step S101). If this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a ends the demonstration effect content determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S101 is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a adds 1 to the operation count storage number indicating the operation count of the operation button 41 since the start of the title demonstration effect (step S102). Note that the initial value of the operation count storage number (the value at the start of the title demonstration effect) is “0”.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the value of the operation count storage number is “1” (step S103). If the determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a determines a demo pattern (step S104). The demo pattern is an effect that is executed during the title demo effect, and is a pattern that indicates the effect contents of the customer waiting effect that is executed in response to the operation of the operation button 41. In this embodiment, it is classified into a first demo pattern in which a display image is displayed stepwise according to the number of operations of the operation button 41 and a second demo pattern in which a predetermined display image is displayed. In step S104, the overall CPU 31a determines the first demo pattern at a ratio of 91/101, and determines the second demo pattern at a ratio of 10/101.

  Next, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the demo pattern determined in step S104 is the first demo pattern (step S105). If this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a outputs a demo pattern designation command for designating the second demo pattern to the display control board 32 (step S106). Thereby, the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 causes the first customer waiting effect to display a predetermined display image such as a character string (telop) of “character A appearance” during the title demonstration effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S105 is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a sets an initial value “1” for the number of stages for the second customer waiting effect, and details the second customer waiting effect corresponding to the current step number “1”. An execution data designation command for designating presentation execution data indicating typical contents is output (step S107). When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs this execution data designation command, it controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the second customer waiting effect corresponding to the stage number “1”. Specifically, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that one character B appearing during the reach effect of the symbol variation game appears.

  Next, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of necessary operations necessary for displaying the display image of the next stage for each stage, and stores the necessary number of operations for each stage (step S108). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 19A, the overall CPU 31a first determines the range of the required number of operations for each stage. For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, the overall CPU 31a has a range of the required number of operations corresponding to the stage “2” (that is, the number of operations necessary to shift from the stage “1” to the stage “2”). 2 to 5 times at a ratio of 90/101 and 6 to 10 times at a ratio of 11/101. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the required number of operations within the range determined as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), when the overall CPU 31a determines 2 to 5 times as the range of the required operation frequency, it determines 2 times as the required operation frequency at 25/100, and at 25/100. Three times are determined as the number of required operations, four times are determined as the required number of operations at 25/100, and five times are determined as the required number of operations at 25/100. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, the range of the required number of operations is distributed for each step so that the greater the number of steps, the more necessary number of operations is determined.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S103 is negative, the overall CPU 31a reads the current stage number in the second customer waiting effect and the required number of operations corresponding to the current stage number stored in the RAM 31c (step S109). Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the number of operations has reached the required number of operations at the current stage (step 110). If this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a ends the demonstration effect content determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S110 is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a updates the current stage number by adding 1 to the current stage number, and shows the specific content of the second customer waiting effect corresponding to the stage number. An execution data specification command for specifying execution data is output (step S111). When the execution data designation command is input, the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the second customer waiting effect corresponding to the new number of stages. Specifically, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that two characters B appear when the number of stages becomes “2”. Thereafter, similarly, when the number of stages becomes “3”, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that three characters B appear. Note that, when the number of stages becomes “6”, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the six characters B fly upward.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a serves as a demo pattern determination unit that determines a demo pattern. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a serves as a demonstration effect execution control means for executing a display demonstration effect. In addition, the RAM 31c of the overall control board 31 serves as an operation count storage unit that stores the required operation count.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the second demo pattern is determined, the first customer waiting effect with the predetermined effect content is executed, whereas when the first demo pattern is determined, the operation of the operation button 41 is performed. According to the number of times, a second customer waiting effect in which display images are displayed in stages is executed. Further, the required number of operations at each stage necessary for proceeding to the next stage is changed every time the display demonstration effect is executed. For this reason, the player does not know how many times the player operates to display the next stage display image. Therefore, the player can continuously operate the operation button 41, and the player can be interested in the game.

  (2) The demo pattern is determined when the operation button 41 is operated during the display demonstration effect. For this reason, the player can operate the operation button 41 in order to execute the customer waiting effect. In addition, since it is determined by lottery whether the first customer waiting effect is executed or the second customer waiting effect is executed, the player is made to operate the operation button 41 during a plurality of display demonstration effects to wait for the customer. Production can be performed. In addition, when a predetermined period has elapsed since the standby demonstration effect was executed, the display demonstration effect is executed, so that a player who wants to see the customer waiting effect can be attracted to the gaming machine for a predetermined period.

  (3) When the overall CPU 31a determines the necessary number of operations of the operation button 41 necessary for displaying the display image of the next stage in the second customer waiting effect based on the first demo pattern, The greater the number, the easier it is to determine the required number of operations, which is greater (see FIG. 19). Thereby, as the number of stages increases, the display image of the next stage becomes difficult to be displayed, and the player can further operate the operation button 41.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, when the normal symbol [2] is derived from the winning symbols in the general game, the second symbol is higher than when the normal symbol [1] is derived. The opening time of the start winning opening 27 is made longer, but it may be the same.

In the above embodiment, in the case where the entrance rate improvement state is not given, a plurality of types of fluctuation times of the usual game are provided, but one type may be used.
In the first variation game of the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 2R special probability variable jackpot game and the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game.

  In the second variation game of the above-described embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game and the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made, a jump-up big hit game may not be given.
In the above embodiment, the first start winning opening 25 and the second start winning opening 27 are provided and the first variation game and the second variation game are executed. However, only one of them may be used.

  ○ In the above embodiment, after the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R probability change secret big hit game, the number of symbol variable games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given is the same for the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R normal variable big hit game. If it is, you may change to arbitrary numbers (for example, 50 times etc.).

  ○ In the above embodiment, if the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the small hit game and the big prize opening door 28 in the two round big hit game are the same, the big prize opening door 28 in the two round big hit game The opening time may be changed.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the first variable game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game may not be given.
In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the second variable game, a 2R special probability variable big hit game and a 2R normal probability variable big hit game may be given. At this time, the allocation of the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game needs to be smaller than that in the first variable game.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the first variable game, a 15R probability change secret big hit game may be given.
In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game and the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game may be the same as the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game.

  In the above embodiment, the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the second variable game is higher than the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game. You may do it. For example, the ratio at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game and the second variable game may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the external terminal board 40 may arbitrarily change the timing for outputting the big hit gaming state signal to the outside of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the external terminal board 40 may output a big hit game state signal at the end of the big hit game, or may output at the start of the big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, a suggestion effect indicating that the probability variation state is given may be executed by the eleventh round. In addition, since it is possible to recognize whether or not a step-up jackpot game has been granted from the opening / closing mode of the big winning door 28 in the eleventh round, it is suggested that the suggestion effect be executed by the eleventh round. Attention can also be paid to the execution of the production. Further, in the 15R probability variation concealment jackpot game, it is necessary to restrict execution of the suggestion effect and conceal the probability variation state.

  In the above embodiment, when a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, a special notification effect indicating that a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded may be executed by the eleventh round. As described above, the special notification effect is executed by executing the special notification effect until the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probability variable big hit game is recognized. Can attract attention.

  ○ In the eleventh round game of the step-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize opening door 28 is opened six times so that game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered. Normally, it may be opened only five times so that it cannot be judged as a probable big hit game.

  ○ In the first round game of the jump-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened three times so that the game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered. In order to make it impossible to determine that the game is a big hit game in a round, it may be opened only twice.

  A third customer waiting effect (for example, an appearing character is displayed in stages depending on the number of operations of the operation button 41, which has an effect aspect different from the second customer waiting effect of the above embodiment. Different production) may be provided. Then, when the probability variation state is concealed and the first demo pattern is determined, the general CPU 31a may make it easier to execute the third customer waiting effect instead of the second customer waiting effect. In this way, it can be known whether or not the probability variation state is concealed, the player can continue to operate the operation button 41, and the player can have an interest in the game.
