(S5), winning prize opening process (S6), electric chew process (S7), prize ball process (S8), and output process (S9) are sequentially executed, and then the initial value random number update in S10 and the fluctuation pattern in S11 are performed. The random number is updated repeatedly, and the processing of S1 to S9 is executed by interruption processing at every minute time interval.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the start port SW process of S2 of FIG. 4, when the start port SW11d is turned on (S20; Yes), when the number U of special symbols is less than 4 (S21; Yes) The hold number U is incremented to U + 1 (S22), the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the reach random number and the fluctuation pattern random number are acquired and stored (S23), and the process returns. Each random number is updated within a predetermined range in the random number updating process of S1 in FIG. 4, and in S23, a random number generated when the start port SW11d is turned on is acquired and stored.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the gate SW process of S3 in FIG. 4, when the gate SW12a is turned on (S30; Yes), and when the number of ordinary symbols on hold G is less than 4 (S31; Yes), the hold The number G is incremented to G + 1 (S32), a random number is acquired and stored (S33), and the process returns. The winning random number is updated within a predetermined range in the random number updating process of S1 in FIG. 4, and the random number generated when the gate SW 12a is turned on is acquired and stored in S33.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the special symbol processing of S4 of FIG. 4, when the big hit is not (S40; No), when the special symbol is not fluctuating (S41; No), the reserved number U of the special symbol is further calculated. When the number is 1 or more (S42; Yes), the number U of holdings is decremented to U-1 (S43), and the big hit determination process (S44) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the jackpot determination process in S44 of FIG. 7, the oldest jackpot random number acquired and stored in S23 of FIG. 5 is determined (S60), and as shown in FIG. In the case of the normal gaming state, if it matches the jackpot specific random number (for example, “3”) at a rate of 1/300, the jackpot specific random number (for example, “3”) in the case of the probability variation gaming state at a rate of 1/30. , “7”, “37”, etc.), it is determined that it is a big hit, and if it matches a small random number (for example, “0”, “50”, “100”,. Determined.

  In the case of a big hit (S61; Yes), the oldest big hit symbol random number acquired and stored in S23 of FIG. 5 is determined (S62), and the big hit symbol random number is, for example, 4 as shown in FIG. When it matches with any of “4” to “7” at the rate of / 10 (S63; Yes), the probability variation design A is set (S64), and any of “8” to “9” at the rate of 2/10 If they match (S63; No, S65; Yes), probability variation B is set (S66), and if it matches any of “0” to “3” at a ratio of 4/10 (S63; No, S65; No) ), The normal symbol is set (S67), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, S61; No, that is, if it is not a big hit, based on the big hit symbol random number, if it is a small hit (S68; Yes), a small hit symbol is set (S69), and if it is not a big hit (S68; No), the lost symbol is set (S70), and the process returns. Here, S23, S62, etc. correspond to the probability variation lottery, and when a normal symbol is selected, the probability variation lottery is lost, and the normal gaming state is set after the big hit game, and the winning probability of the big hit lottery is low. When the probability variation symbol A or probability variation symbol B is selected, the probability variation lottery is won, and the probability variation gaming state is set after the jackpot game, and the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is 1/30 of a high probability. become.

  As shown in FIG. 7, after the big hit determination process of S44, the fluctuation pattern selection process (S45) is executed, and the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the reach random number, the fluctuation pattern random number, etc. acquired and stored in S23 of FIG. A variation pattern (variation time) is selected on the basis of, and then a variation start command including information on the variation pattern selected in S45, the symbol set in S44 and the gaming state is set (S46).

The big prize opening device 13 is controlled.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal symbol processing of S5 in FIG. 4, when the auxiliary game is not in progress (S100; No), when the normal symbol is not changing (S101; No), the number of normal symbols held G Is 1 or more (S102; Yes), the hold number G is decremented to G-1 (S103), and a hit random number is determined (S104). Here, as shown in FIG. 14, when the oldest hit random number acquired and stored in S33 of FIG. 6 matches the hit specific random number (for example, “0” to “9”) at a ratio of 9/10, It is determined.

  Then, in the case of winning (S105; Yes), the winning symbol is set (S106), in the case of losing (S105; No), the losing symbol is set (S107), and in the case of the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state (S108; Yes), the variation time is set to 3 seconds (S109), and if it is not the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state (S108; No), that is, in the normal gaming state, the variation time is set to 29 seconds (S110), Thereafter, the normal symbol display 18b starts to change the normal symbol (S111), starts measuring the change time (S112), and returns.

  On the other hand, if S101; Yes, that is, if the normal symbol is changing, the change time started from S112 reaches the time set in S109 or S110, and if the change time ends (S113; Yes) Then, the normal symbol display unit 18b stops the fluctuation of the normal symbol (S114), the symbol set in S106 or S107 is displayed as the lottery result, and the fluctuation time is reset (S115). Thereafter, in the case of winning (S116; Yes), the auxiliary game is started (S117) and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the electric chew process of S7 of FIG. 4, when the auxiliary game is in progress (S120; Yes), when the start winning opening 11c is not open (S121; No), the probability change gaming state or the short-time game In the case of the state (S122; Yes), the release time is set to 3.5 seconds (S123), and when it is not the probability variation game state or the short-time game state (S122; No), the release time is set to 0.2 seconds (S110). ), The start prize opening device 11 is controlled so that the start prize opening 11c is opened (S125). Thereafter, when the opening time set in S123 or S124 elapses (S126; Yes), the start winning port apparatus 11 is controlled so that the start winning port 11c is closed (S127), and the auxiliary game is ended (S128). ), Return.

  Next, processing and control executed by the sub control device 25 (the effect control board 27 and the image control board 28) will be described. Here, in the display data storage unit of the image control board 28, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of types of jackpot effect display data (first jackpot effect display data, second jackpot effect display data corresponding to a plurality of types of jackpot effect, respectively). Display data, third jackpot effect display data... Mth jackpot effect display data), common opening effect display data, common 1R effect display data, common ending effect display data, password input display data, password issue display data Is remembered.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the big hit effect process executed by the sub-control device 25 is started in response to the information on the start of the big hit game from the main control device 21. First, before the 1R execution of the big hit game, a plurality of types of big hit effect A common opening effect is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data (S200). Next, during the 1R execution of the jackpot game, the 1R effect common to the multiple types of jackpot effects is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data (S201), and the winning when winning in the current jackpot lottery is won. It is determined whether or not the time is a time when the jackpot continuity is preset for the previous jackpot game (S202).

  Here, the time when the jackpot continuity is considered to be high is the time when the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is set to a high probability, that is, the time when it is in a probable gaming state, and the probability of winning the jackpot lottery is low However, when the time for opening the start winning opening 11c is longer than the normal game until the big hit lottery is performed 100 times after the big hit game, the time when the short game is executed, that is, the short time game state It is set at the time when. If it is determined that there is no big hit continuity (S202; No), password input processing (S203) is executed.

  The password input process of S203 is performed during execution of 1R of the jackpot game. In this password input process, as shown in FIG. 19, a password input screen is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data. Here, as shown in FIG. 18, the effect button 31 includes five push buttons 31a to 31e. On the password input screen shown in FIG. 19, a sentence for instructing the player to input the password, the effect button 31, and its button The input content by the effect button 31 (push buttons 31a to 31e) is displayed.

  The player sees this password input screen and operates the effect button 31 to make a password consisting of three characters, each character being one of “up”, “down”, “left”, and “right”. You can enter a password that is a letter. In this case, for example, three frames are displayed, and one of the frames becomes an input target frame indicated by an arrow. By pressing the push buttons 31b to 31e on the input target frame, "up" Any of the characters “down”, “left”, and “right” can be input. By pushing the push button 31a, the character displayed in the frame indicated by the arrow is fixed and the input target frame is switched. Instead, the switched frame is indicated by an arrow.

  The password input process of S203 is valid until the end of 1R of the jackpot game, and the three characters displayed at the end of 1R are finally input. When 1R ends (S204; Yes), the password issued at the end of the previous jackpot game and stored in the RAM is read (S205), and it is determined whether the password matches the entered three characters. (S206). Here, the RAM stores a number N indicating the rank of the jackpot effect as specific information for specifying the latest jackpot effect displayed on the image display 16 during the jackpot game. For example, the third jackpot effect number N is 3.

  If the passwords match (S206; Yes), the latest specific information N stored in the RAM is read (S207), the N is incremented to N + 1 (S208), and the passwords do not match (S206; No), the specific information N is set to 1 (S209). On the other hand, if S202; Yes, that is, if it is determined that the jackpot continuity is present, it waits until 1R of the jackpot game ends (S210), and when 1R ends (S210; Yes), the process proceeds to S207. For example, when the specific information is not stored in the RAM such as after the RAM is cleared, the process proceeds to S209 after the execution of S201 and before the execution of S202.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the Nth jackpot effect is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data over the jackpot games 2R to 15R (S212), and the specific information N is stored in the RAM. (S212). Thereafter, when the jackpot game 15R is ended (S213; Yes), an ending effect common to a plurality of types of jackpot effects is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data (S214), and then the jackpot game. When the probability change gaming state is subsequently set (S215; Yes), after that, when the effect display ends (S216), the jackpot effect process ends.

  On the other hand, if the probable game state is not reached after the big hit game (S215; No), that is, if the time-short game state is entered, the password issuing process (S217) is executed. In this password issuing process, as shown in FIG. 20, a password issuing screen is displayed on the image display 16 based on the display data. On the password issuance screen shown in FIG. 20, a sentence indicating the meaning of the password and a three-character password are displayed. Here, the password to be issued is randomly generated for each jackpot game, and after S217, the issued password is stored in the RAM (S218), the process proceeds to S216, and the effect display ends (S216). ), The jackpot presentation process ends.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
A big hit lottery is performed in response to the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening 11a, 11b, and a big hit game is generated when a win is won in the big hit lottery. During the big hit game, first, the 1R effect common to a plurality of types of big hit effects is displayed on the first display on the image display 16, and there is no big hit continuity for the current big hit game with respect to the previous big hit game. 19 displays the password input screen shown in FIG. 19 on the image display 16, and the player can input characters by operating the effect button 31 while viewing the password input screen. Here, at the end of the big hit game, when the short hit game state is entered after the big hit game, the password issue screen shown in FIG. 20 is displayed on the image display 16 and the player displays the password displayed on the password issue screen. You can see and remember.

  In other words, even when there is no big hit continuity with respect to the previous big hit game for the current big hit game, during the big hit game 1R, the player looks at the password input screen and operates the effect button 31 to end the previous big hit game. By inputting a password that is sometimes issued and remembered, after the 2R of jackpot game, the jackpot effect of the next rank of the jackpot effect displayed during the previous jackpot game can be displayed and viewed on the image display 16.

  In addition, during the 1R of the jackpot game, when there is no big hit continuity for the previous jackpot game with respect to the previous jackpot game, if the password input is rejected, after the 2R of the jackpot game, the image display 16 is ranked first. A big hit effect can be displayed and viewed. Also, during the 1R of the jackpot game, if the current jackpot game has a big hit continuity with respect to the previous jackpot game, the password input screen as described above is not displayed on the image display 16 and nothing is done. Instead, after 2R of the big hit game, the big hit effect of the next rank of the big hit effect displayed during the previous big hit game can be displayed and viewed on the image display 16.

  According to this pachinko gaming machine 1, during the jackpot game, one of a plurality of types of jackpot effects is displayed on the image display 16, but the plurality of types of jackpot effects are a plurality of types ordered so as to form a series of stories. Specific information N for identifying the latest jackpot effect displayed on the image display 16 during the jackpot game is stored in the RAM, and the winning time when winning in the jackpot lottery is relative to the previous jackpot game When the password is input at a time when there is no preset jackpot continuity, the next ranking of the jackpot effect displayed last time on the image display 16 based on the RAM specific information N is entered. Select to display the jackpot effect.

  In other words, even if it is determined that there is no big hit continuity with respect to the previous big hit game for the current big hit game, the player can input the password to display the big hit effect displayed in the previous big hit game on the image display 16. The next big hit effect is displayed and you can see the big hit effect that follows the previous big hit effect, so you can enjoy a lot of big hit effects along the story, It is possible to relatively easily see the jackpot effect with the last rank, and it is possible to effectively use all the types of jackpot effects.

  In the case where the winning time in the big hit lottery is a time when there is no big hit continuity, when the password is not input, the image display 16 is selected to display the first big hit effect in the ranking, so that the player can Enter the password only when you want to display the jackpot effect next to the jackpot effect displayed in the previous jackpot game on the display 16, and if you do not want it, do not enter the password, It is possible to display the big hit effect having the top rank on the display 16.

  When the winning probability of the big win lottery is set to a low probability when the lottery is lost in the probability variation lottery, and is set to a high probability higher than the low probability when winning in the probability variation lottery, the time when the jackpot continuity is assumed to be Includes a time when the winning probability of the big hit lottery is set to a high probability, and in the case where the winning time in the big hit lottery is determined to have the big hit continuity, the image is based on the specific information N in the RAM. Since it automatically selects the display unit 16 so as to display the big hit effect of the next rank of the big hit effect displayed last time, the win probability of the big hit lottery is set to a high probability and the winner is won in the big hit lottery. In this case, even if the password is not input, the big hit effect of the next rank after the big hit effect displayed in the previous big hit game can be displayed on the image display 16.

  When the winning prize opening device 11 that opens and closes the starting winning prize opening 11a is provided and the winning prize winning lottery is lost, the time for opening the starting winning prize opening 11a until the big hit lottery after the big hit game is performed a predetermined number of times (100 times). The start prize opening device 11 is controlled so as to execute the short game when the game becomes longer than the normal game, and the time when the big hit continuity is included includes the time when the short game is executed. In this state, when winning a big hit lottery, even if no password is entered, the big hit effect of the next rank of the big hit effect displayed in the previous big hit game can be displayed on the image display 16. it can.

  Since the password is issued and displayed on the image display 16 at the end of the jackpot game, a different password can be issued for each jackpot game, and the password is unique to each jackpot game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 Therefore, when it is determined that there is no continuation of the big hit game with respect to the previous big hit game for the current big hit game, the big hit effect of the next rank of the big hit effect displayed in the previous big hit game is displayed on the image display 16. It can be displayed reliably.

Next, a modification in which the above embodiment is partially changed will be described.
(1) The time when the jackpot continuity is determined may be only the time when the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is set to a high probability.
(2) The time when the big hit continuity is assumed may be the time until the big hit lottery is performed a predetermined number of times after the big hit game (for example, 150 times) regardless of the gaming state.

(3) The password may be a common password set in advance for pachinko gaming machines of the same model. In this case, you can easily know and remember this password, and you can easily use this password because it can be shared for each jackpot game.
