Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that generates a jackpot game in which a game round having a high payout rate is repeatedly executed.

  Conventionally, for example, there is known a pachinko gaming machine collectively called a “seven machine” that has a symbol display window for variably displaying symbols and generates a jackpot according to the combination of symbols stopped in the symbol display window. Yes. For this “seven machine”, for example, the number of rounds executed in one big hit game is 16 times or less, the number of winning balls to the big winning device in one round is 10 or less, The opening time of the big winning device in the round (the total opening time when opening and closing multiple times) is within 30 seconds, and the payout (prize ball) for one winning to the big winning device is 15 balls or less There are various game rules, such as notifying the number of game rounds in advance when winning a jackpot.

  A pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of types of jackpot games with different numbers of rounds are set has been proposed for the purpose of increasing the player's expectation and thrilling feeling under the restrictions of such game rules (for example, Patent Document 1). reference.). In the game of this pachinko gaming machine, even if a big hit game occurs, a difference in the number of balls that can be acquired by the player according to the number of rounds can result in a variety of gaming possibilities.

  Furthermore, there is a proposal of a pachinko gaming machine in which the length of the game round is long and short so that the player's expectation can be maintained even if the number of rounds is notified in accordance with the jackpot winning (see, for example, Patent Document 2). . In this pachinko gaming machine, a combination of a game round with a long open time and a short game round of the big prize winning device is set, and a plurality of types of jackpot games having the same total number of rounds but different numbers of occurrences of long game rounds are set. In the jackpot game of this pachinko gaming machine, first, a long game round is executed after a short game round is executed a predetermined number of times. During execution of a short game round, since the number of long game rounds to be executed later is not known, the player's expectation can be maintained to some extent even during the jackpot game.

  However, the conventional pachinko gaming machine has the following problems. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, since the number of rounds is notified at the time of winning the jackpot according to the gaming rules, the number of balls that can be obtained at the stage of starting the jackpot game can be predicted and notified. When the number of rounds is large, the player's expectation that the number of balls that can be acquired will be increased, while when the number of rounds is small, the player's willingness to play may be reduced. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 2, since the number of long game rounds can be predicted when the number of executions is determined according to the end of the short game round, the period before the start of the long game round There is a risk that only the player's expectation can be sustained.

Japanese Patent No. 2514417 JP 2007-111278 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in a pachinko machine that generates a jackpot game, the player's expectation and thrilling feeling can be maintained even during the jackpot game. The aim is to provide an improved pachinko machine.

The first invention is a variable winning device that exhibits a closed state and an open state;
Lottery means for executing lottery processing in response to establishment of a predetermined condition;
A first jackpot control means for executing a first jackpot game that repeats a game round that opens the variable prize-winning device at least once when the lottery result by the lottery means is first;
A second jackpot control means for executing a second jackpot game for repeating the game round W times when the lottery result by the lottery means is a second prize;
The first jackpot control means executes M game rounds less than W times while repeating the first opening operation of making the variable winning device open for the first duration L times. (W−M) game rounds are performed while repeating the second opening operation of opening the variable prize-winning device for a second duration longer than the first duration X times,
The second jackpot control means executes N game rounds less than M times while repeating the first release operation L times, and then repeats the Y second release operation more than X times. A pachinko gaming machine is configured to execute (W-N) game rounds (claim 1).

  The jackpot game of the pachinko gaming machine of the first invention includes at least the first jackpot game executed by the first jackpot control means and the second jackpot game executed by the second jackpot control means. . Each of the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game is a jackpot in which the second opening operation having a longer opening time than the first opening operation is repeated after the first opening operation is repeated L times. It is a game. Further, in the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game, the total number of rounds, which is the number of executions of the game round in one jackpot game, is W times.

  The difference between the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game is that the number of game rounds executed while the first release action is repeated L times and the game rounds executed while the second release action is repeated Is the number of times. In the first jackpot game, M game rounds are executed while the first release operation is repeated L times, and (WM) game rounds are executed while the second release operation is repeated X times. The On the other hand, in the second jackpot game, N times (M> N) of game rounds are executed while the first release operation is repeated L times, and the second release operation is repeated Y times (X <Y). (W-N) game rounds are executed.

  Comparing the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game, the second jackpot game has a larger number of repetitions of the second opening operation. Since the number of repetitions of the first release operation is L times, the second big hit game is more advantageous to the player for (Y−X) times, which is the difference in the number of repetitions of the second release operation. ing.

  On the other hand, the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game are common in that the first opening operation is repeated L times after the jackpot game is started, and then the second opening operation is repeated. Yes. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine, it is difficult to determine whether the game is the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game until the end point of the first jackpot game that ends earlier is reached. . If the jackpot game ends at the end of the first jackpot game, it can be definitely determined that the game is the first jackpot game. If the jackpot game continues even after the end time has elapsed, the second game It is only possible to determine definitely that it was a jackpot game. In the jackpot game of the pachinko machine, during one of the two types of jackpot games, the player's expectation and throbbing feeling is maintained for a long time until the point of time when the type of jackpot game can be determined. be able to.

The second invention is a variable winning device that exhibits a closed state and an open state;
Lottery means for executing lottery processing in response to establishment of a predetermined condition;
When the lottery result by the lottery means is a winning, the game control means for executing a jackpot game that repeats a predetermined number of game rounds that open the variable winning device one or more times,
The game control means has the same total number of rounds executed in one jackpot game, and repeats a first opening operation for opening the variable winning device for a first duration for a predetermined number of times of opening. As a jackpot game exhibiting the second state in which the second opening operation for opening the variable prize-winning device for a second duration longer than the first duration is repeated, the two types of jackpot games are presented. Configured to run,
Between the two types of jackpot games, the total number of releases of the first release operation in the first state is the same, but the number of releases of the first release operation constituting a part of the game round in the first state is set. Since the number is different, the number of rounds executed in the first state is different, so that the number of rounds executed in the second state is different between the two types of jackpot games, and the second opening operation the opening times are different in pachinko machines, wherein (claim 2).

  The jackpot game generated by the pachinko gaming machine of the second invention is a game state in which the game round is repeated. As the jackpot game executed by the pachinko gaming machine, the two types of jackpot games having the same total number of rounds executed in one jackpot game are set. In both of the two types of jackpot games, after the first state in which the first opening operation in which the opening period is the first duration time is repeated a predetermined number of times, the opening period is the first time. The jackpot game in which the second state in which the second release operation, which is the second duration time longer than the duration time, is repeated, exhibits the second state.

  In these two types of jackpot games, the number of times the variable winning device is released in the first state is the same, and the number of times the variable winning device is released in some game rounds in the first state is different. Therefore, in the two types of jackpot games, the number of rounds executed in the first state is different, and the number of times the variable winning device is released in the second state is different. In these two types of jackpot games, a jackpot game in which the number of rounds executed in the first state is small and the number of times the variable winning device is opened in the second state is more advantageous to the player.

  In the two types of jackpot games, the first state and the second state occur in this order, and the opening / closing operation pattern of the variable winning device during the entire occurrence period of the jackpot game with the lower degree of advantage is This is common to the opening / closing operation pattern of the variable winning device in a partial generation period including the generation period of the first state in the jackpot game having the higher advantage.

  Therefore, in the game of the pachinko gaming machine, when one of the two types of jackpot games is generated, until the end time of the jackpot game with the lower degree of advantage elapses, It is impossible to guess which was. Accordingly, in the jackpot game of the pachinko gaming machine, the player's expectation and throbbing feeling can be maintained for a long time until the point in time when the type of jackpot game can be determined, as in the first invention.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the first and second aspects of the present invention is a pachinko gaming machine that generates a jackpot game, and maintains a player's expectation and throbbing feeling during the jackpot game. It has excellent characteristics that can improve the fun of gaming.

The two types of jackpot games in the second invention have the same number of open times in each game round in the second state, and the number of rounds executed in the second state is different, so the second state It is preferable that the number of times of opening is different.
In this case, the smaller the number of rounds executed in the first state, the greater the number of rounds executed in the second state, and the greater the number of releases in the second state. At least during the occurrence period of the first state, the player does not know which of the two types of jackpot games is at all. Therefore, the player's expectation and thrilling feeling can be sustained for a long time during the occurrence of the jackpot game.

Further, the game control means is preferably capable of executing another jackpot game having a total number of rounds different from the two types of jackpot games, and preferably includes a notification means for reporting the total number of rounds of the jackpot game to be executed ( Claim 4).
In this case, since the total number of rounds is the same regardless of which of the two types of jackpot games with different number of releases in the second state, the player will be notified as the same jackpot game. . Therefore, the player cannot determine which of the two types of jackpot games has been won, so that the player's expectation and thrilling feeling can be sustained for a long time during the occurrence of the jackpot game. The gameplay of jackpot games can be made more diverse.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1
This example is an example related to a pachinko gaming machine 1 that generates a jackpot game. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.
The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example includes a variable winning device 16 (hereinafter referred to as a big winning device 16) that exhibits a closed state and an open state, lottery means 33 that executes a lottery process in response to establishment of a predetermined condition, When the lottery result by the lottery means 33 is a win, the game control means 34 for executing a big hit game that repeats a predetermined number of game rounds that open the grand prize winning device 16 at least once is provided.
The game control means 34 is equal to the total number of rounds executed in one jackpot game, and repeats a first release operation for opening the winning device 16 over a first duration for a predetermined number of releases. After presenting, it is possible to execute two types of jackpot games exhibiting the second state in which the second opening operation for releasing the winning device 16 over the second duration time longer than the first duration time is repeated. In these two types of jackpot games, the number of releases of the big winning device 16 in the first state is equal, but the number of times of opening of the big winning device 16 in some game rounds in the first state is different, so the game is executed in the first state. The number of rounds is different, and the number of times the big winning device 16 is opened in the second state is different.
This content will be described in detail below.

  First, the types of jackpot games generated by the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example will be described. As a jackpot game generated by the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, a jackpot game with a total number of rounds of 15 and a jackpot game with a total number of rounds of 16 are set.

  The jackpot game with a total number of rounds of 15 includes a probability change 15R jackpot followed by a probability change state and a non-probability change 15R jackpot without a probability change state. The difference between the probability variation 15R jackpot and the non-probability variation 15R jackpot is different only in whether or not a probability variation state is involved after the jackpot game ends. In the probability variation 15R jackpot and the non-probability variation 15R jackpot, only the second state occurs, and the opening / closing operation pattern of the prize winning device 16 is exactly the same.

  In this example, probability variation 16R jackpots A to C, which are jackpot games with a total of 16 rounds, are set as two types of jackpot games having different advantages. Arbitrary two types of probability variation 16R jackpots A to C exhibit the relationship between the two types of jackpot games having different degrees of advantage. The common points of the probable change 16R jackpots A to C are that all are jackpot games that follow the probable change state, and that all shift to the second state after the occurrence of the first state. The difference between the probability variation 16R jackpots A to C is the opening / closing operation pattern of the big winning device 16, and the degree of advantage differs depending on the opening / closing operation pattern. In this example, the player's degree of advantage increases in the order of probability variation 16R big hit A → B → C.

  In particular, in this example, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, the opening / closing operation patterns in the entire occurrence period of the probability variation 16R jackpot A (16RA in the figure) are the probability variation 16R jackpots B and C (16RB or 16RC in the figure). .) Is common to the opening / closing operation pattern of the partial occurrence period starting from the start time. In addition, the opening / closing operation pattern in the entire occurrence period of the probability variation 16R jackpot B is common to the opening / closing operation pattern of the partial occurrence period starting from the start time out of the all occurrence periods of the probability variation 16R jackpot C. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, when probability variation 16R jackpots A and B occur, the type cannot be determined until the probability variation 16R jackpot ends. On the other hand, the probability variation 16R jackpot C can be definitely determined as the probability variation 16R jackpot C for the first time if the jackpot game continues after the end of the probability variation 16R jackpot B.

  Therefore, the player digests the jackpot game while expecting that the jackpot is 16R jackpot C from the time of winning one of the odd 16R jackpots, and the second opening action is 5 or 10 times. At the time of completion (at the end of probability variation 16R jackpot A or probability variation 16R jackpot B), the player wins a game in the hope that the winning device 16 will be released more. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present example, when the probability variation 16R jackpot is won, it is possible to continue the player's expectation to the limit where it is possible to determine which probability variation 16R jackpot.

  Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example has an external configuration as shown in FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is disposed on the left and right sides of the open / close door 13 attached to the underframe, the substantially circular game area 130 formed on the game board disposed inside the open / close door 13, and the game area 130.

In the normal special figure determination table, as shown in FIG. 3A, a random number range of 0 to 39 is a hit value for a non-probability variable 15R jackpot, a random number range of 40 to 59 is a hit value for a probabilistic variable 15R jackpot, The random number range is the winning value of the probability variation 16R jackpot A, the random number range of 76 to 91 is the winning value of the probability variation 16R jackpot B, and the random number range of 92 to 99 is the winning value of the probability variation 16R jackpot C. In the probability variation special figure determination table, as shown in FIG. 3B, a random number range of 0 to 399 is a hit value for non-probable variation 15R jackpot, a random number range of 400 to 599 is a hit value for probability variation 15R jackpot, and 600 to 759. The random number range is a hit value for the probability variation 16R jackpot A, the random number range of 760 to 919 is the hit value for the probability change 16R jackpot B, and the random number range of 920 to 999 is the hit value for the probability change 16R jackpot C.

  The winning probability according to the normal special figure determination table is 1/300, and the winning probability according to the probability variation special figure determination table is 1/30. The jackpot allocation rate is almost 40% per non-probable 15R, 20% per probable 15R, 40% per probable 16R (the breakdown is A40% per 16R, B40 per 16R per capita). %, 16R big hit C20%.)

  As the common figure determination table, there are a normal common figure determination table in a normal state (not shown) and a short time general figure determination table for a probability variation state or a short time state. The winning probability according to the normal chart determination table is 1/100, and the winning probability according to the short-time common chart determination table is 99/100.

  The RAM 23 is a readable / writable storage element used for the work area of the CPU 21 or temporary writing. In the storage area of the RAM 23, a special figure reservation storage area and a general figure reservation storage area are allocated for each of four data. The special figure storage area is a storage area for storing (holding) a special figure lottery result, that is, a random number extracted according to the special figure lottery. The general map hold storage area is a storage area for storing (holding) random numbers extracted according to the general map lottery result, that is, the general map lottery.

  The random number extraction unit 25 is a means for extracting random numbers for special drawing lottery and general drawing lottery. The random number extraction unit 25 extracts a random number from the integers generated by the random number counter 250. The random number extraction unit 25 extracts a random number for the normal drawing according to the detection of the passing ball by the gate passage detector 51, and for the special drawing lottery according to the detection of the starting winning by the starting winning detection means 31. Extract random numbers. The random number counter 250 of this example generates an integer in the range of 0-29999 for special drawing lottery.

The start winning detection means 31 is means for detecting a start winning using the start winning detector 52. The start winning detection means 31 detects a start winning in response to the detection of a winning ball at the start port 11 by the start winning detector 52, and sets the start winning flag to an ON state.
The lottery means 33 is a means for executing a special drawing lottery or a general drawing lottery. The lottery means 33 takes in the random numbers extracted by the random number extraction unit 25 in the special drawing lottery or the general drawing lottery. The lottery means 33 extracts a random number for the special drawing lottery if the number of holdings of the special drawing lottery result in the special figure holding storage area is 3 or less when the start winning flag is set to the on state. If so, the extraction of random numbers for special drawing lottery is canceled. Further, the lottery means 33 extracts random numbers for the general drawing lottery when the number of holdings of the general drawing lottery result in the general drawing reservation storage area is three or less according to the winning to the passing gate 14, If there is, cancel the random number extraction for the regular drawing lottery.

  The lottery means 33 can display the special figure (ordinary figure) when it is possible to start the fluctuation display, that is, when the special figure (general figure) is not fluctuating and is not in a big hit (during electric Chu operation). The presence or absence of a special drawing lottery result (general drawing lottery result) stored in the holding storage area (ordinary drawing holding storage area), that is, the holding is confirmed. The lottery means 33 reads out the oldest one of the special drawing lottery results (ordinary drawing lottery results) stored in the special figure holding storage area (ordinary drawing holding storage area), Match.

  As described above, the lottery means 33 of this example selectively uses the determination table that matches the gaming state. As a lottery result of the special drawing lottery, there are a probability variation jackpot, a non-probability variation jackpot and a loss. The lottery result of the regular drawing lottery includes winning and losing. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, a total of four types of probability variation 15R jackpots and probability variation 16R jackpots A to C are set as probability variation jackpots, and non-probability variation 15R jackpots are set as non-probability variation jackpots.

  The game control means 34 is means for controlling the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control means 34, for example, generates a jackpot game or the like according to the combination of the stop symbols stopped and displayed on the special figure display unit 191. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a status flag corresponding to four types of gaming states and a jackpot flag corresponding to five types of jackpot games are set. State flags with flag values of zero, 1, 2, and 3 correspond to a normal state, a jackpot game (a jackpot state), a probability change state, and a short-time state, respectively. The game control means 34 generates a game state corresponding to the state flag. The jackpot flags with flag values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond to the non-probability variation 15R jackpot, the probability variation 15R jackpot, the probability variation 16R jackpot A, the probability variation 16R jackpot B, and the probability variation 16R jackpot C, respectively. The game control means 34 generates a jackpot game corresponding to the jackpot flag. Furthermore, the game control means 34 is provided with a round counter (not shown) for counting the number of executions of round processing in the jackpot game.

  The game control means 34 sets the status flag to 1 when the combination of stop symbols in the special symbol display unit 191 is a combination of the same symbols, that is, a combination of so-called flat eyes. Then, the status flag is set to 2 or 3 according to the end of the jackpot game. The game control means 34 sets the state flag to 2 after the end of the probability change jackpot, and then maintains the probability change state until the jackpot game is generated again. After the end of the non-probable big hit, set the status flag to 3, then reset the status flag to zero after maintaining the short state until the special figure is displayed 100 times or until the big hit game occurs To return to the normal state.

  Further, the game control means 34 sets the flag value of the jackpot flag when the state flag is set to 1, that is, according to the type of symbol that has been the trigger for the jackpot. If the symbol is “7”, the jackpot flag is set to 2 (probability 15R jackpot), and if the symbol is an odd symbol “1, 3, 5, 9” other than symbol “7” Sets the jackpot flag to any of 3 to 5 (probability variation 16R jackpot AC). In the case of a slot of even numbers “2, 4, 6, 8”, the jackpot flag is set to 1 (non-probability variable 15R jackpot).

  In the short-time state, a special drawing lottery is executed according to the normal special figure determination table (see FIG. 3A), and any one of 100 symbol fluctuations and a new jackpot is established. It is a gaming state that ends in response. The probability variation state is a gaming state in which a special drawing lottery is executed by a probability variation special figure determination table (see FIG. 3B). In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, in the probability variation state and the short-time state, the probability of winning a normal figure is close to 100% and the opening time of the start opening (electric Chu) 11 becomes long, so that the player's possession decreases. The degree can be suppressed.

  The game control means 34 executes the opening / closing operation of the big winning device 16 while the flag value of the state flag is 1, that is, during the occurrence of the big hit game. As the opening / closing operation of the big winning device 16 by the game control means 34, the opening period per time is 0.6 seconds (first duration), and the first opening operation in which almost no balls can be won is repeated. There are a first state and a second state in which the opening period per time is 30 seconds (second duration) and the second opening operation in which many balls can be won is repeated. In the first state, the interval of the release period is set to 1.0 second. In the second state, the interval of the open period is set to 3.0 seconds or 6.0 seconds. The game control means 34 is a winning ball counter (not shown) that is a counter for counting the number of winning balls to the big winning device 16 and an opening number that is a counter for counting the number of times the big winning device 16 is opened. And a counter (not shown).

Here, the opening / closing operation pattern of the big winning device 16 in each jackpot game of the probability variation 15R jackpot, the non-probability variation 15R jackpot, and the probability variation 16R jackpot A to C will be described.
First, the opening / closing operation pattern of the big winning device 16 in the probability variation 15R jackpot and the non-probability variation 15R jackpot will be described. In the 15R jackpot, the opening / closing operation in the second state is performed. Note that in the second state during the 15R jackpot, all the intervals of the open period are set to 3.0 seconds.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the probability variation 16R jackpots A to C are all jackpot games with a total number of rounds (W times) of 16 times. In the probability variation 16R big hits A to C, after the first state in which the first opening operation is repeated 11 times (L times), the state shifts to the second state in which the second opening operation is repeated. In each game round in the second state, the second release operation is executed once. In the probability variation 16R jackpot A to C, 4.0 seconds is set as an interval time between the last release period in the first state and the first release period in the second state.

  In the probability variation 16R big hits A to C, the number of rounds (M times or N times) executed in the first state is different. For probability variation 16R big hits A, B, and C, the number of rounds executed in the first state is 11, 6 and 1 respectively. In the second state, the number of times the grand prize winning device 16 is opened (X times or Y times) is different for each of the probability variation 16R jackpots A to C. The probability variation 16R jackpot A is 5 times, the same B is 10 times, and the same C Is 15 times. In this example, since the number of executions of the second release operation in each game round in the second state is one, the number of rounds in the second state ((W−M) times or (W−N) times) is Like the number of times of opening, the probability variation 16R jackpots A, B, and C are 5 times, 10 times, and 15 times, respectively.

Here, the number of times in the relationship between the probability variation 16R jackpot A and the probability variation 16R jackpot B is as follows.
Probability 16R jackpot A W: 16 times L: 11 times M: 11 times X: 5 times Probability 16R big hit B W: 16 times L: 11 times N: 6 times Y: 10 times Also, the probability 16R big hit B and the probable 16R big hit The number of times in relation to C is as follows.
Probability 16R jackpot B W: 16 times L: 11 times M: 6 times X: 10 times Probability 16R jackpot C W: 16 times L: 11 times N: 1 time Y: 15 times

  Note that, in the second state in which the probability variation 16R is a big hit, the interval of the release period is set to 3.0 seconds or 6.0 seconds. Only the interval between the fifth release period and the sixth release period and the interval between the tenth release period and the eleventh release period in the second state are set to 6.0 seconds, and 3 for the other intervals. It is set to 0 seconds.

  The reason why the number of releases of the big winning device 16 in the second state is different for the probability variation 16R jackpots A to C is due to the difference in the number of rounds (round counter) in the first state. That is, in the probability variation 16R big hit A, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 4A, each of the 11 release periods (first release operation) in the first state is counted as one round process. In the probability variation 16R big hit B, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 4B, the first release period in the first state is counted as the first round process, and then the second release period is counted as one round process. Is done. In the probability variation 16R jackpot C, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 4C, 11 open periods in the first state are counted as one round process. Therefore, the number of rounds digested in the first state is 11 times, 6 times, and 1 time for each of the probable 16R jackpots A, B, and C, and is therefore executed in the second state as described above. The number of rounds to be executed, that is, the number of executions of the second opening operation for opening the special winning device 16 is greatly different.

  In this example, the opening / closing operation pattern of the entire occurrence period of the probability variation 16R jackpot A is the first round processing 1R of the probability variation 16R jackpot B (hereinafter also described) to 11R, and the probability variation 16R jackpot. It is common with the opening / closing operation pattern of C from 1R to 6R. In addition, the opening / closing operation patterns of all occurrence periods of the probability variation 16R big hit B are common to the opening / closing operation patterns from 1R to 11R of the probability variation 16R big hit C. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, until the opening / closing operation (second opening operation) of the big winning device 16 in the second state is completed five times, it is completely determined whether the player is the probability variation 16R jackpot AC. I can't. If the probability variation 16R big hit B or C, after the second opening operation is completed five times, the big winning device 16 performs the opening / closing operation again until the opening / closing operation in the second state (second opening operation) is completed ten times. It is not possible to determine whether the probability variation 16R jackpot B or C.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 5 shows the flow of jackpot processing. FIG. 6 shows the flow of the first round process P1, which is the round process in the first state. FIG. 7 shows the flow of the second round process P2, which is the round process in the second state.

  First, the flow of jackpot processing will be described with reference to FIG. In the jackpot process, the main circuit 20 first determines the flag value of the status flag (S101). When the flag value of the status flag is 1 (big hit state) (S101: YES), the number of rounds at that time is determined with reference to the counter value of the round counter (S102). When the number of rounds is zero, that is, when the jackpot game starts (S102: YES), after waiting for 5 seconds (S103), the round counter is incremented once (S104). On the other hand, if the number of rounds is not zero, that is, a big hit game is being played (S102: NO), the round counter is added once, bypassing step S103 (S104). Each time the jackpot process is executed, the round counter is incremented once. Therefore, the jackpot process is repeated a number of times equal to the number of rounds during the jackpot game.

  Subsequently, the flag value of the jackpot flag is determined (S105, S107, S109). When the flag value of the jackpot flag is 3 (probability variation 16R jackpot A) (S105: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is 12 or more (S106). When the number of rounds is 12 times or more (S106: YES, S107: NO, S109: NO), the second round process P2 which is the round process in the second state is executed, and the number of rounds is less than 12 times. In the case of (S106: NO), the first round process P1, which is the round process in the first state, is executed.

  If the flag value of the jackpot flag is 4 (probability variation 16R jackpot B) (S105: NO, S107: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is 7 or more (S108). When the number of rounds is 7 or more (S108: YES, S109: NO), the second round process P2 is executed, and when the number of rounds is less than 7 (S108: NO), the first round process P1 Execute. If the flag value of the jackpot flag is 5 (probability variation 16R jackpot C) (S105: NO, S107: NO, S109: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is two or more (S110). When the number of rounds is two or more (S110: YES), the second round process P2 is executed. When the number of rounds is less than two (S110: NO), the first round process P1 is executed. To do. After the first round process P1 is completed, the jackpot process is once ended and the jackpot process is started again. With these processes, the second round process P2 can be executed after repeating the first round process P1 a predetermined number of times for each probability variation 16R big hit.

  After the second round process P2 is completed, the main circuit 20 determines the flag value of the jackpot flag (S111, S113). When the flag value of the jackpot flag is 1 (non-probability variation 15R big hit) or 2 (probability variation 15R big hit) (S111: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is 15 (S112). If the number of rounds is not 15 (S112: NO), once the big hit game is finished, the big hit process is started again, and the second round process P2 is repeated until the number of rounds reaches 15. On the other hand, when the number of rounds is 15 (S112: YES, S113: NO), the process waits for 6 seconds (S117). If the flag value of the jackpot flag is 3 to 5 (S111: NO, S113: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is 6 or 11 (S114). When the number of rounds is 6 and 11 (S114: YES), it waits for 3 seconds (S115), and determines whether or not the number of rounds is 16 (S116). On the other hand, if the number of rounds is not 6 or 11 (S114: NO), it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is 16 by bypassing the process of step S115 (S116). If the number of rounds is not 16 (S116: NO), the big hit game is once ended, then the big hit process is started again, and the second round process P2 is repeated until the number of rounds reaches 16. On the other hand, when the number of rounds is 16 (S116: YES), the process waits for 6 seconds (S117).

  After the process of step S117, the number of rounds, which is the count value of the round counter, is reset to zero (S118), and it is determined whether or not the flag value of the jackpot flag is 1 (non-probable variation 15R jackpot) (S119). When the flag value of the jackpot flag is 1 (S119: YES), the flag value of the status flag is changed to 3 (short time state) (S120), and the number of short hours to be executed is set to 100 times (S121). ), The flag value of the jackpot flag is changed to zero (OFF state) (S122), and the jackpot processing is terminated. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is not 1 (S119: NO), after changing the flag value of the state flag to 2 (probability change state) (S130), the flag value of the big hit flag is changed to zero (off state) (S122), the jackpot processing is terminated.

  When waiting for 3 seconds as in step S115, the jackpot game effect may be continued, or the jackpot game effect may be temporarily stopped. If the performance of the jackpot game is continued, the player's expectation for the continuation of the jackpot game can be enhanced. If the presentation of the jackpot game is interrupted, the player's feeling of anxiety that the jackpot game has ended can be given, and the joy of the player when the jackpot game is resumed can be doubled.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the first round process P1, the main circuit 20 first adds the number of times of opening of the big winning device 16 (the number of opening counters) (S201), and opens the big winning device 16 (S202). ), Whether or not a winning ball is detected by the big winning detector 53 is determined (S203). If a winning ball is detected (S203: YES), one winning ball (the winning ball counter) is added (S204), and 15 winning balls are paid from the payout device 410 to the payout control circuit 41. Instruct them to put out. If the number of winning balls is 10 balls or more (S205: YES), or when the opening time of 0.6 seconds has elapsed (S206: YES), the large winning device 16 is closed (S207) and waits for 1 second ( S208).

  Thereafter, the flag value of the jackpot flag is determined (S209, S213). First, when the flag value of the jackpot flag is 4 (probability variation 16R jackpot B) (S209: YES), it is determined whether the number of rounds is two or more (S210). When the number of rounds is two or more (S210: YES), it is determined whether the number of winning balls is less than 10 (S211). In the first round process P1, the opening time is very short as 0.6 seconds (first opening operation), and the probability variation 16R jackpot B is opened only twice in one game round, so the number of winning balls is 10 It is unlikely to reach the ball.

  When the number of winning balls is less than 10 balls (S211: YES), it is determined whether or not the number of times the large winning device 16 is opened is 2 (S212). If the number of times of opening is one (S212: NO), the processing from step S201 is repeated. On the other hand, when the number of rounds is 1 (S210: NO, S213: NO), when the number of winning balls is 10 or more (S211: NO, S213: NO), or when the number of times of opening is 2 (S212) : YES, S213: NO), the number of releases is reset to zero (S216), the number of winning balls is reset to zero (S217), and the first round process P1 is terminated. In this way, when the probability variation 16R is a big hit B, the first prize process 16 is released once in the first game round by the first round process P1, and the big prize apparatus 16 is released in the second to sixth game rounds. Since the game is released twice and the second round process P2 is executed in the subsequent game rounds, the short release operation (first release operation of 0.6 seconds) of the big winning device 16 is performed 11 times. Become.

  Next, when the flag value of the jackpot flag is 5 (probability variation 16R jackpot C) (S209: NO, S213: YES), it is determined whether or not the number of winning balls is less than 10 (S214). In the probability variation 16R jackpot C, the game will be released 11 times in one game round in the first round process P1, but since the opening time is very short as 0.6 seconds, the number of winning balls is 10 balls. It is unlikely to reach it. When the number of winning balls is less than 10 balls (S214: YES), it is determined whether or not the number of times the large winning device 16 is opened is 11 (S215). When the number of times of opening is less than 11 (S215: NO), the processing after step S201 is repeated. On the other hand, when the number of winning balls is 10 balls or more (S214: NO), or when the number of opening of the big winning device 16 is 11 (S215: YES), the number of opening is reset to zero (S216), The number of winning balls is reset to zero (S217), and the first round process P1 is terminated. Thus, when the probability variation 16R is a big hit C, the first winning round 16 is released 11 times in the first game round by the first round process P1, and the second round process P2 is executed in the subsequent game rounds. Therefore, the short opening operation (first opening operation of 0.6 seconds) of the special winning device 16 is performed 11 times.

  Further, when the flag value of the jackpot flag is 3 (probability 16R jackpot A) (S209: NO, S213: NO), the number of releases is reset to zero (S216), and the number of winning balls is reset to zero (S217). ), The first round process P1 is terminated. Thus, when the probability variation 16R is a big hit A, the first prize process 16 is released once in each game round from the first game round to the eleventh game round by the first round process P1. Therefore, the short opening operation (first opening operation of 0.6 seconds) of the special winning device 16 is performed 11 times.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the second round process P2, the main circuit 20 first waits for 3 seconds (S301), and then opens the big prize device 16 (S302). When a winning ball is detected by the big winning detector 53 (S303: YES), one ball is added to the number of winning balls (the winning ball counter) (S304), and the payout control circuit 41 to the payout devices 410 to 15 is added. Instruct the player to pay out a prize ball. Whether the number of winning balls is 10 balls or more (S305: YES), or when the opening time of 30 seconds has elapsed (S306: YES), the big winning device 16 is closed (S307), and the number of winning balls is reset to zero. (S308).

  As described above, with the jackpot process including the first round process P1 and the second round process P2, in all probability variation 16R jackpots A to C, first, the short opening operation of the big winning device 16 (the first of 0.6 seconds) 11), then 5 times if the probability variation 16R jackpot A, 10 times if the probability variation 16R jackpot B, 15 times if the probability variation 16R jackpot C, The long opening operation (second opening operation for a maximum of 30 seconds) of the big winning device 16 is performed. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention makes it difficult for a player to predict the number of rounds during a jackpot game when a jackpot game for executing a predetermined number of rounds (total number of rounds of 16) is generated. It has become a pachinko machine with excellent characteristics that can sustain a sense of expectation.

  As a combination of the first state in which the first round process P1 is executed and the second state in which the second round process P2 is executed, as in this example, first, after the first state occurs, the second state It is not limited to the combination of generating. Any combination of the first state and the second state may be set as long as the jackpot game can be executed so that the player cannot accurately know how many rounds the player is currently playing during the jackpot game. . For example, various combinations such as alternately generating the first state and the second state can be employed.

  In this example, three kinds of probability variation jackpots (probability variation 16R jackpots A to C) are set by changing the combination of the first state and the second state, but the number of rounds to be executed in the first state is appropriately set from 1 to 11 times. If you do this, you can increase the number of jackpot games. For example, after entering the second state, the player may be struck by performing an effect as to whether or not the big hit game is continued for each game round.

  The first state of this example is a state where 17.6 seconds are required for 11 repetitions of the open period of 0.6 seconds (the first duration time). If it is a launching device capable of launching 100 balls per minute, approximately 30 balls can be fired if the ball is continuously fired in the first state, and a prize of 2 to 3 balls can be expected for the grand prize winning device 16. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, 15 prize balls are paid out for one winning, so that it is more profitable to continue hitting balls even during the period of occurrence of the first state. If the total duration of the first duration in the first state is made longer than this example, the number of balls with a probability variation 16R jackpot C can be increased more than the probability variation 15R jackpot or the non-probability variation 15R jackpot, and more balls can be paid out. It is possible to realize a jackpot game with a high degree of advantage. Also in this case, it is desirable that the total time of the first duration time in the first state is within 30 seconds (one open time is within 2.7 seconds). As described above, when the total duration of the first duration time in the first state is further increased, the number of winning balls to the grand prize winning device 16 is 10 before the execution of the eleventh first opening operation in the first state. When it reaches, the game round may have to end. If the number of executions of the first release operation is 10 times or less and the state transitions to the second state, there is a high possibility that the player will know that the probability variation 16R jackpot C is at that time.

  On the contrary, there is a possibility that a new game can be realized by utilizing such characteristics. That is, by setting the first duration time so that the number of winning balls may reach 10 in the first state, “if the winning device 16 can win well, the probability variation 16R big hit C It becomes possible to make a player's expectation that it is possible to determine whether or not it is. If the probability variation 16R jackpot C is selected, the first state can be ended in accordance with ten winnings to the big winning device 16, but otherwise the first state even if the winning reaches ten times. Will not end.

  Although the specific example of this invention was demonstrated in detail like Example 1, these specific examples are only disclosing the example of the technique included in a claim.
