Description

  The present invention relates to a so-called compound type pachinko gaming machine of the former first type and old second type.

  Conventionally, an old type 1 pachinko game machine called “Digipachi” is known. Former type 1 pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball wins a specific starting opening, obtains a random number at the timing of starting winning, and determines whether or not the random number matches a predetermined jackpot random number The lottery result of the jackpot determination is displayed as a special symbol. When the acquired random number matches the jackpot random number, the special symbol indicating a predetermined jackpot is stopped and the jackpot gaming state is entered.

  In the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening is opened for a predetermined number of rounds. One round ends when the opening / closing time of the grand prize opening reaches a specified time (for example, 30 seconds) or when a specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins during the opening of 30 seconds. Then, the next round is started in accordance with the content of the winning jackpot, and intermittent opening and closing of the big prize opening is repeated until the maximum round is reached. In this way, a large number of game balls can be obtained in the big hit game state.

  When the jackpot ends, an electric tulip support function (electric chew support) is added as an auxiliary gaming state such as a short-time gaming state or a probable gaming state according to the type of jackpot. When the electric chew support is added, the electric tulip provided in the vicinity of the second starting port can be easily opened, and the game ball wins the second starting port where the lottery contents are advantageously set for the player. It becomes easy. The fact that the lottery content is advantageous for the player is that it is easy to select a jackpot with a large number of rounds or a jackpot with electric support.

  Conventionally, an old second type pachinko game machine called "Hikoki" or "Honey" is known. In the former type 2 gaming machine, an open / close winning device having a pair of open / close members (honey) is provided on the game board, and when the game ball wins at a predetermined starting port, the open / close winning device wins once or It is configured to be a small hit that opens and closes twice, and captures the game ball flowing down the game board surface and guides it into the open / close winning device. A specific area called a V zone is provided inside the open / close winning device, and when a game ball won in the open / close winning device passes through the V zone, it shifts to a jackpot gaming state.

  In the jackpot game state, the predetermined number of rounds and the honey repeatedly open and close. One round ends when the number of opening and closing of the honey reaches a specified number of times (for example, 18 times) or when a game ball wins the specified number (for example, 10) of open / close winning devices while being opened 18 times. Then, the next round is started according to the content of the winning jackpot, and the intermittent opening and closing of the honey is further repeated. The opening and closing of the honey is repeated up to the final round set according to the contents of the jackpot. In this way, a large number of game balls can be obtained in the big hit game state.

  Conventionally, a combined pachinko gaming machine of an old first type and an old second type has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). The complex pachinko gaming machine has, for example, a plurality of start ports including a first start port and a second start port spaced apart from the first start port, and a large winning port and an open / close winning device. There is something. In such a complex pachinko gaming machine, in a normal gaming state, a left-handed game is performed by a player, and when a game ball wins at the first starting port, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not it is a small hit to release the splash. . At the time of the jackpot, the contents of the jackpot are displayed such as the number of continuous rounds when the jackpot is made and whether or not there is a short game after the jackpot ends.

  When the winning ball is won by winning and the game ball wins the open / close winning device and passes through the V zone in the open / close winning device, the big win that opens the big winning opening according to the content of the small win starts. It has come to be. Furthermore, when the big hit ends, a short-time game is played according to the content of the small hit. In the short-time game, electric chew support is added, and the player plays a right-handed game. When the electric chew support is added, the electric tulip provided in the vicinity of the second starting port can be easily opened, and the game ball wins the second starting port where the lottery contents are advantageously set for the player. It becomes easy.

  Even when a game ball wins at the second start opening, as in the case where a game ball wins at the first start opening, a lottery is performed as to whether or not it is a small hit to release the splash. At the time of the jackpot, the contents of the jackpot are displayed such as the number of continuous rounds when the jackpot is made and whether or not there is a short game after the jackpot ends. In addition, the content of the small win by winning the second starting opening is more advantageous to the player than the small winning by winning the first starting opening. Specifically, the number of consecutive rounds at the time of the big winning Is set high, or it is easy to add short-time games.

  When the winning ball is won by winning and the game ball wins the open / close winning device and passes through the V zone in the open / close winning device, the big win that opens the big winning opening according to the content of the small win starts. It has come to be. As described above, when a game is played by winning a prize at the second starting port, it is possible to acquire a large number of game balls when shifting to the short game.

  Exemplary embodiments of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be explained below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment)
(Basic configuration of pachinko machine)
First, the basic configuration of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, a so-called old first type (digital type) and old second type (honey) composite pachinko gaming machine is used.

  In FIG. 1, a pachinko gaming machine 100 has a rectangular frame 101, and a game board 102 is detachably attached to a window hole of the frame 101. A glass frame (not shown) is attached to the front side of the game board 102 so as to be openable and closable. In addition, a lower part of the game board 102 is provided with a tray part 103 for storing game balls, a launch lever 104 for launching the game balls of the tray part 103, and the like.

  On the upper surface of the saucer 103, for example, an effect button 105 is provided for allowing the player himself to perform an operation to participate in the game. Although not shown in the drawing, a game ball purchase button, a purchase cancel button, a ball removal button for removing the game ball in the tray 103 from below to the outside, and the like are provided on the upper surface of the tray portion 103. In the center of the game board, an image display unit 106 made up of a liquid crystal display is provided, and screen information for performance is output.

  Next, the game flow of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described together with the main components. Details of the main components will be described later with reference to FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a first start port 111, a second start port 112, a first special symbol display unit 121, a second special symbol display unit 122, a normal symbol display unit 123, and an open / close prize device 130. , A gate 140, an electric tulip 141, and a prize winning port 150 are provided. In the following description, the game procedure will be described using numbers in parentheses. This number corresponds to the number in parentheses described in FIG.

  First, in the normal gaming state, the player makes a left strike as a normal strike and aims at the first start port 111 (1). When the game ball wins the first start port 111, a big hit lottery is performed and the first special figure display unit 121 changes (2). When the first special symbol indicating the lottery result of the jackpot lottery stopped on the first special figure display unit 121 (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 1”) is a small hit indicating the release of the honey 131, a predetermined interval time has elapsed. Later, the opening 131 of the open / close winning device 130 is opened once, for example, 0.8 seconds (3). The open / close winning device 130 corresponds to the open / close winning means of the present invention, and the spring 131 corresponds to the open / close member of the present invention.

  In addition, the special figure 1 at the time of the small hit indicating the release of the honey 131 is based on the color and number of the symbol, information on the number of continuous rounds when transitioning to the jackpot game, which will be described later, and the gaming state after the jackpot game has ended Is included as to whether or not to enter the short-time gaming state. Specifically, special figure 1 as a lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a small hit symbol indicating “continuation 2 rounds, no time reduction”, a small hit symbol indicating “continuation 2 rounds, with time reduction”, “continuation 15 rounds, It is a jackpot symbol that indicates “with a short time (direct hit jackpot)” or a lose symbol that indicates “losing”. In addition, about the opening time of the honey 131 used for this Embodiment, the number of continuation rounds at the time of jackpot, only an example is given and it is also possible to set it as other time or another round number. .

  If the game ball wins the open / close winning device 130 and passes the V zone 132 as the specific area (4) during the release of the bonnet 131 by the small hit (4), the number of rounds corresponding to the lottery result of the big win lottery, the big winning opening 150 (5) It should be noted that the number of rounds of “continuous 2 rounds” shown at the time of a small hit includes the opening of the honey 131 at the time of the small hit, that is, the number of rounds that opens the grand prize winning opening 150 is 1 round. After the jackpot is over, if the small winning symbol is a symbol indicating “continuous 2 rounds, no time saving”, the game returns to the normal gaming state, and the small winning symbol is a symbol indicating “continuous 2 rounds, with a short time”. In the case of the game, the game shifts to the short-time game state 100 times.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol is a symbol indicating “continuation 15 rounds, with a short time” (direct hit jackpot symbol), the game shifts to a short-time gaming state 100 times after the 15th round jackpot. Note that the direct hit jackpot is a transition to a jackpot that opens the big winning opening 150 without passing through the small jackpot, that is, without requiring winning of a game ball to the V zone 132.

  In the short-time gaming state, the player makes a right turn and aims at the gate 140 (6). When the game ball passes through the gate 140, the normal symbol display unit 123 changes for 3 seconds (7). When the stopped normal symbol is a winning symbol “◯”, the electric tulip 141 is opened three times for 1.2 seconds (8). The contents shown in (7) and (8) are electric chew support as an auxiliary game.

  When the game ball wins the second starting port 112, a big hit lottery is performed and the second special figure display unit 122 changes (9). When the stopped second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special diagram 2”) is a small hit indicating the release of the honey 131, the honey 131 of the open / close prize winning device 130 is set to, for example, 1. Release for 6 seconds (10).

  In addition, the special figure 2 at the time of the small hit indicating the release of the honey 131 is based on the color and number of the symbol, the information on the number of continuous rounds in the big hit game, and the game state after the big hit is ended is usually the short-time game state Information on whether to enter the gaming state is included. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the number of consecutive big hits is 16 rounds, and after the big hit is over, the game shifts to the short-time gaming state or the normal gaming state. Specifically, the small winning symbol of the special figure 2 indicating the lottery result of the big hit lottery is a symbol indicating “16 consecutive rounds, no time reduction”, “16 consecutive rounds, with a short time”, or “losing”.

  When the game ball wins the open / close winning device 130 during the small hit and passes the V zone 132 (11), the number of rounds corresponding to the small hit symbol (16 rounds) becomes a big hit that opens the big winning opening 150 ( 12). Note that the number of rounds of “16 rounds” shown at the time of the small hit includes the opening of the honey 131 at the time of the small hit, that is, the number of rounds that opens the grand prize winning opening 150 is 15. It is a round.

  When the jackpot is over, in the case of a jackpot with a time saving, the game shifts to a new time-saving gaming state 100 times. In addition, 100 times in the short-time gaming state corresponds to the number of changes in the special symbol. Further, if the jackpot during the short-time game continues five times, the limiter function makes a transition to the normal gaming state, for example, after the fifth jackpot.

  Here, a supplementary description will be given of the case where the game ball passes through the gate 140 in the normal game state. When the game ball passes through the gate 140 in the normal game state, the normal symbol display unit 123 fluctuates for 29 seconds. Further, in the normal gaming state, when the stopped normal symbol is a winning symbol “◯”, the electric tulip 141 opens once for 0.2 seconds. The electric tulip 141 corresponds to the ordinary electric accessory of the present invention.

  As described above, in the normal gaming state, the variation time of the normal symbol is lengthened and the opening time of the electric tulip 141 is shortened, which is advantageous for the player by winning the second starting port 112 in the normal gaming state. The occurrence of small hits is suppressed, that is, the occurrence of 16 rounds of big hits is suppressed, and inappropriate games such as the player aiming at the gate 140 are suppressed. On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, by shortening the normal symbol variation time and lengthening the opening of the electric tulip 141, it is easy to generate a big hit, allowing the player to get a lot of balls and enabling a quick game I have to.

(3. Prize ball control unit)
Next, the configuration of the winning ball control unit 303 will be described. The winning ball control unit 303 includes a CPU 351, a ROM 352, a RAM 353, an input / output interface (I / O) (not shown), and the like. The CPU 351 executes a prize ball control process for controlling a prize ball to be paid out. The ROM 352 stores programs necessary for the processing. The RAM 353 functions as a work area for the CPU 351.

  The winning ball control unit 303 controls the paying unit 357 to pay out the number of winning balls at the time of winning. The payout unit 357 is composed of a motor for paying out a predetermined number from the game ball storage unit. Specifically, the prize ball control unit 303 receives the game balls that have won the prize winning units (the first starting port 111, the second starting port 112, the open / close winning device 130, and the big winning port 150) with respect to the payout unit 357.

For example, the prize ball control unit 303 can be provided on the same printed circuit board as the main control unit 301.

(Functional configuration of main control unit)
Next, the functional configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3-2 is an explanatory diagram showing a functional configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. 3-2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a first start port 111, a second start port 112, a honey 131, a V zone 132, an electric tulip 141, a setting unit 381, a lottery unit 382, And a transition unit 383.

  The setting unit 381 sets in advance the winning probability of winning a small hit for opening the honey 131 for each of the first start port 111 or the second start port 112. The jackpot includes the contents of the jackpot when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 and shifts to the jackpot gaming state.

  The small hits have a small hit with a short time and a small hit without a short time. Bonus with a short time is a small jackpot that can be transferred to a special jackpot that plays an auxiliary game after the big jackpot game. This is a small hit. Small hits without time savings are small hits that can be transferred to a normal gaming state where no auxiliary game is played after the big hit game. It is a small hit indicating the content.

  The setting unit 381 sets the winning probability for the small bonus with a short time due to winning in the second starting port 112 lower than the winning probability for the small bonus with a short time due to winning in the first starting port 111. An outline of the winning probability set in the setting unit 381 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The lottery unit 382 performs a small lottery based on the winning probability set in the setting unit 381 when a game ball wins the first starting port 111 or the second starting port 112. Note that the lottery unit 382 executes the jackpot lottery program to perform the jackpot lottery and simultaneously the jackpot lottery.

  The transition unit 383 wins a small hit by lottery by the lottery unit 382, and when the game ball passes through the V zone 132, the transition unit 383 shifts to a big hit gaming state corresponding to the small hit. In other words, for example, when the content of the jackpot indicated by the small hit is “continuation 2 rounds, with time reduction” and the game ball passes the V zone 132, the transition unit 383 shifts to the “continuation 2 rounds, with time reduction” jackpot Let

  The setting unit 381 is realized by the RAM 313 of the main control unit 301. The lottery unit 382 and the transition unit 383 are realized by the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301. That is, the function of the lottery unit 382 is realized by the CPU 311 executing the jackpot lottery program, and the function of the transition unit 383 is realized by the CPU 311 executing the big prize opening control program.

(Summary of winning probability per unit set in the setting section)
Next, with reference to FIG. 3C, an outline of the winning probability per bonus set in the setting unit 381 will be described. FIG. 3C is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the winning probability per winning set in the setting unit 381. In FIG. 3C, the table 390 includes a start port type 391, a small hit content 392, an opening time 393, and a winning probability 394.

  The start port type 391 includes a first start port 111 and a second start port 112. The small hit content 392 indicates “with a short time” or “no short time” after the big hit game, and includes a small hit with a short time and a small hit with no short time. In addition, although the number of continuation rounds at the time of the big hit is not shown in the figure, the continuation 2 rounds for the first start port 111 and the continuation 16 rounds for the second start port 112.

  The opening time indicates the opening time of the honey 131, and includes a normal opening time and an extremely short opening time. Specifically, the opening time by winning to the first start port 111 is 0.8 seconds, both of which are normal opening times. On the other hand, the opening time by winning to the second starting port 112 is composed of a normal opening time (1.6 seconds) and a short opening time (0.1). The winning probability 394 indicates the probability that each small hit is won for each of the first starting port 111 and the second starting port 112.

  As shown by reference signs A and C, in the present embodiment, the winning probability 394 with a short time due to winning at the first starting port 111 is “50/100”, and due to winning at the second starting port 112 The winning probability 394 per hour with a short time is “40/100”. That is, the winning probability 394 with a short time due to winning at the first starting port 111 is higher than the winning probability 394 with a short time due to winning at the second starting port 112.

  Further, as shown by reference numeral F, the short hit without winning due to winning at the second starting port 112 is the normal opening small hit with the opening time of the honey 131 being the normal opening time (for example, 1.6 seconds). 131 consists of a short opening small hit with the opening time of 131 being an extremely short time (for example, 0.1 second). In the case of a short opening small hit, since the opening time of the honey 131 is 0.1 second, there is almost no game ball winning in the open / close winning device 130, that is, the game ball wins the V zone 132 and the big hit There is almost no transition to.

  As described above, the setting unit 381 has a small hit with time and a small hit with no time (short open small hit, normal open small hit) as winning probabilities for winning by winning the second starting port 112. The winning probability is set in advance.

  Here, the ratio of the winning probability per short time with small wins ("50/100" shown in symbol B) to the winning probability per hour without small hours due to winning at the first starting port 111 ("50/100" shown in symbol A) ) Is “the first start opening time ratio”, the first starting opening time ratio is “(50/100) / (50/100) = 1”.

  In addition, the ratio of the small hit with a short time (“40/100” shown in the symbol C) to the winning probability (“10/100” shown in the symbol D) of the normal opening small bonus due to winning at the second starting port 112 is expressed as “No. Assuming that “2 start-port time shortening ratio”, the second start-port time shortening ratio is “(40/100) / (10/100) = 4”.

  In this way, the setting unit 381 compares the first start-port time-shortening ratio “1” with the second start-port time-shortening ratio “4” and compares the first start-port time-shortening ratio “4” with the second start-port time-shortening ratio. Each winning probability is set in advance so that the percentage with time reduction becomes high. Here, as described above, in the case of a short opening small hit, the game ball rarely wins in the open / close winning device 130. That is, in the case of a short opening small hit, since there is no transition from the short opening small hit to the big hit, the winning probability 394 “50/100” shown in the symbol E is effectively a probability of shifting to the big hit game. Can be ignored.

  In other words, the ratio of shifting to the jackpot with time or the jackpot without time by the winning at the second start port 112 is the ratio of (40/100) shown in the reference C and (10/100) shown in the reference D. Specifically, the rate of shifting to jackpot with time reduction is “(40 / (40 + 10)) = 80%”, and the rate of shifting to jackpot without time saving is “(10 / (40 + 10)) = 20%”.

  In addition, the ratio which shifts to the jackpot with time or the jackpot without time by the winning at the first start port 111 is a ratio of (50/100) indicated by the symbol A and (50/100) indicated by the symbol B. Specifically, the rate of shifting to jackpot with time reduction is “(50 / (50 + 50)) = 50%”, and the rate of shifting to jackpot without time saving is “(50 / (50 + 50) = 50%”.

(Timer interrupt processing)
Next, a timer interrupt process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing performed by the main control unit 301. The timer interrupt process is a process that interrupts the main control process executed by the main control unit 301 every predetermined period (for example, 4 ms) during the power supply period.

  In FIG. 4, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 performs a random number update process (step S401). The random number update process is a process of updating each random number by incrementing the jackpot random number, the jackpot symbol random number, and the like, for example, by one.

  Thereafter, the first start port 111 or the second start port 112 is subjected to a switch process at the time of winning a prize (step S402). For the switch process, every time the number of holds reaches a predetermined hold number (for example, four balls) each time a starter SW process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 5, or a gate SW 140a provided in the gate 140 detects a game ball, is used. There is a gate SW process for acquiring a random number.

  Thereafter, symbol processing is performed (step S403). The symbol processing includes normal symbol processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. 6 and special symbol processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. Furthermore, an electric accessory control process is performed (step S404). The electric accessory control process includes an electric chew process that will be described later with reference to FIG. 7, an open / close prize apparatus process that will be described later with reference to FIG. There is a process to control the operation. Thereafter, a prize ball process is performed (step S405), and these output processes are performed (step S406).

(Start-up SW processing)
Next, the start port SW process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the start port SW process performed by the main control unit 301. The start port SW process is a process content included in the switch process shown in step S402 of FIG.

  In FIG. 5, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not the first start port SW111a of the first start port 111 is ON (step S501), and determines that the first start port SW111a is ON. If it is determined (step S501: Yes), it is determined whether or not the count value U1 of the first start port detection counter that has counted the number of detections of the first start port SW 111a is smaller than "4" (step S502).

  When the count value U1 is smaller than “4” (step S502: Yes), “1” is added to the count value U1 (step S503). Then, the random number is acquired, and the acquired random number is stored in the RAM 313 (step S504). The random number is a jackpot random number, a design random number, or the like. The big hit random number is one for determining a small hit, a direct hit big hit, or a loss indicating the opening of the open / close winning device 130. For example, one hit random number is determined from 400 random numbers from “0” to “399”. Acquired at random.

  The design random number determines the type of jackpot, that is, the type of jackpot when shifting to the jackpot game by winning the V zone 132 (such as a jackpot with two rounds with a short time, two rounds without a short jackpot, etc.) For example, one symbol random number is randomly acquired from 250 random numbers “0” to “249”.

  Each random number acquired as described above is stored in the RAM 313. The RAM 313 has a storage area for four reserved balls. In this storage area, in addition to information that the winning is made to the first starting port 111, information on the jackpot random number, symbol random number, and the like are stored.

  Thereafter, a first holding number increase command indicating that the first holding number indicating the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 111 has increased is set (step S505). The set first hold number increase command is transmitted to the effect control unit 302, and thereby, for example, the number of holds due to winning from the image display unit 106 to the first start port 111 under the control of the image / sound control unit 302b. Is displayed as a holding ball.

  In step S501, when 1st starting port SW111a is not ON (step S501: No), it transfers to step S506. If it is determined in step S502 that the count value U1 is “4” (step S502: No), the process proceeds to step S506.

  In step S506, it is determined whether or not the second start port SW112a of the second start port 112 is ON (step S506). If it is determined that the second start port SW112a is ON (step S506: Yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the count value U2 of the second start port detection counter that has counted the number of times of detection of the second start port SW 112a is smaller than “4” (step S507).

  When the count value U2 is smaller than “4” (step S507: Yes), “1” is added to the count value U2 (step S508). Then, the random number is acquired, and the acquired random number is stored in the RAM 313 (step S509). The RAM 313 has a storage area for four reserved balls. In this storage area, in addition to information indicating that the winning is made to the second starting port 112, information on symbol random numbers for performing lottery such as jackpot random numbers and the number of continuous rounds is stored.

  After the process of step S509, a second hold number increase command indicating that the second hold number indicating the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 112 has increased is set (step S510). The set second hold number increase command is transmitted to the effect control unit 302, and thereby, for example, the number of holds due to winning from the image display unit 106 to the second start port 112 under the control of the image / sound control unit 302b. Is displayed as a holding ball.

  In step S506, when the second start port SW112a is not ON (step S506: No), the process is ended as it is. If it is determined in step S507 that the count value U2 is “4” (step S507: No), the processing is terminated as it is.

(Normal symbol processing)
Next, a normal symbol process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing normal symbol processing performed by the main control unit 301. This normal symbol process is a process content included in the symbol process shown in step S403 of FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (step S601). The auxiliary game flag indicates the opening of the electric tulip 141. Specifically, the auxiliary game flag is set to ON when the normal symbol at the time when the fluctuation is stopped is a winning symbol.

  If the auxiliary game flag is ON (step S601: Yes), the process is terminated as it is. When the auxiliary game flag is OFF (step S601: No), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (step S602). When the normal symbol is changing (step S602: Yes), the process proceeds to step S608. If it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing (step S602: No), it is determined whether or not the count value G of the gate counter of the gate SW 140a is 1 or more (step S603).

  If the count value G is 0 (step S603: No), the process is terminated as it is. When the count value G is 1 or more (step S603: Yes), a winning random number determination process is executed (step S604). The winning random number determination process is a process for determining whether or not the random number acquired when the game ball passes through the gate 140 is a winning using a normal symbol table (not shown).

  Thereafter, stop symbol selection processing is executed (step S605). The stop symbol selection process is a process of selecting a symbol to be stopped according to the determination result in the hit random number determination process. Then, a variable time selection process is executed (step S606). The variation time selection process is a process of selecting the variation time of the normal symbol in accordance with the gaming state. For example, “3 seconds” is selected in the short-time gaming state, and “29 seconds” is selected in the normal gaming state.

  Thereafter, the fluctuation is started (step S607), and it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time has ended (step S608). If the fluctuation time has not ended (step S608: No), the process ends as it is. When the variation time is over (step S608: Yes), the variation of the normal symbol is stopped (step S609).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the stopped normal symbol is a win (step S610). If the stopped normal symbol is not a hit (step S610: No), that is, if it is a loss, the process is terminated as it is. If the stopped normal symbol is a win (step S610: Yes), the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (step S611), and the process is terminated.

(Electric chew processing)
Next, an electric Chu (electric tulip) process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the electric Chu process performed by the main control unit 301. This electric chew process is a process content included in the electric accessory control process shown in step S404 of FIG. In FIG. 7, the CPU 311 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (step S701). If the auxiliary game flag is OFF (step S701: No), the process is ended as it is.

  When the auxiliary game flag is ON (step S701: Yes), it is determined whether or not the electric tulip 141 is being opened (step S702). When the electric tulip 141 is not in an opening operation (step S702: No), an opening operation pattern selection process is executed (step S703). The opening operation pattern selection process is a process of selecting a pattern for opening the electric tulip 141 according to the gaming state. For example, “1.2 seconds × 3 times” is selected in the short-time gaming state, In a gaming state without a chew support function, “0.2 seconds × once” is selected.

  Thereafter, the opening operation of the electric tulip 141 is started (step S704). Then, it is determined whether or not the opening operation has ended (step S705). If the opening operation has not ended (step S705: No), the processing is ended as it is. When the release operation is finished (step S705: Yes), the auxiliary game flag is turned off (step S706), and the process is finished. In step S702, when the electric tulip 141 is in an opening operation (step S702: Yes), the process proceeds to step S705.

(Special symbol processing)
Next, a special symbol process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing special symbol processing performed by the main control unit 301. This special symbol process is a process content included in the symbol process of step S403 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not the winning game flag is ON (step S801). The winning game flag is a flag that is set when the stopped special symbol indicates a winning including a big hit or a small winning in the stop process shown in step S814.

  If the winning game flag is ON (step S801: Yes), the process is terminated as it is. If the winning game flag is not ON (step S801: No), it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (step S802). If it is changing (step S802: Yes), the process proceeds to step S811. . If not changing (step S802: No), it is determined whether or not the count value U2 of the second start port detection counter as the number of reserved game balls won in the second start port 112 is "1" or more. (Step S803).

  When the count value U2 is “1” or more (step S803: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the count value U2 is set as a new hold number (step S804), and the process proceeds to step S807. In step S803, if the count value U2 is not equal to or greater than “1” (step S803: No), that is, if “U2 = 0”, the first start port as the number of game balls held in the first start port 111 is retained. It is determined whether or not the count value U1 of the detection counter is “1” or more (step S805). If the count value U1 is not equal to or greater than “1” (step S805: No), that is, if “U1 = 0”, the process is terminated as it is.

  When the count value U1 is “1” or more (step S805: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the count value U1 is set as a new hold number (step S806), and the process proceeds to step S807. In step S807, jackpot determination processing is performed (step S807). The jackpot determination process will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 9, but the winning random number acquired when the game ball wins the first starting port 111 or the second starting port 112 matches the preset jackpot random number. This is a process for determining whether or not to do so.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in steps S803 to S806, the game ball won at the second start port 112 is digested earlier than the game ball won at the first start port 111. It has become. Thereafter, variation pattern selection processing is performed (step S808). This variation pattern selection process is a process of selecting a variation pattern of a special symbol according to the determination result of the jackpot determination process.

  Thereafter, the variation of the special symbol is started (step S809). Further, a change start command is set in the RAM 313 (step S810). Then, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed the variation time selected by the variation pattern selection process (step S811). If the fluctuation time has not elapsed (step S811: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  When the variation time has elapsed (step S811: Yes), the variation of the special symbol is stopped (step S812) and a variation stop command is set (step S813). Thereafter, the stop process is executed (step S814), and the process ends. The details of the suspension processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 12. However, when the stopped special symbol indicates winning, a hit flag is set, or the time-saving gaming flag indicating the time-saving gaming state is set to time-saving. This is a process of turning OFF according to the remaining number of times.

(Big hit judgment processing)
Next, the jackpot determination process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a jackpot determination process performed by the main control unit 301. This jackpot determination process is the details of the process shown in step S807 of FIG.

  In FIG. 9, the jackpot determination process performs a hit random number determination process for determining whether a jackpot or a small hit is made based on the hit random number acquired in the start port SW process (see FIG. 5) (step S901). In the hit random number determination process, a big hit random number determination table described later with reference to FIG. 10 is used. Then, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the hit random number determination process is a jackpot (direct hit jackpot) (step S902).

  When it is a direct hit jackpot (step S902: Yes), a design random number determination process is performed to determine the jackpot type such as the number of continuous rounds of the direct hit jackpot and the presence / absence of a short-time game (step S903). In the symbol random number determination process, a jackpot symbol is determined using a symbol random number determination table which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 11A and 11B. In the present embodiment, the direct hit jackpot is only the “15 round round short jackpot” that can be won only by winning the first starting port 111. Thereafter, a direct hit jackpot symbol is set (step S904), and the process is terminated. In the direct hit jackpot symbol set in step S904, “7” is set as the stop symbol of the first special figure display unit 121.

  In step S902, when it is not a direct hit big hit (step S902: No), it is determined whether it is a small hit (step S905). If it is a small hit (step S905: Yes), a design random number determination process is performed to determine the contents of the small hit indicating the number of rounds after the transition to the jackpot game state, the presence or absence of a short-time game, and the like (step S906). In this symbol random number determination process, a symbol random number determination table described later in FIGS. 11A and 11B is used.

  Thereafter, a small hit symbol is set (step S907), and the process is terminated. In the small hit symbol set in step S907, specifically, as the stop symbol of the first special figure display unit 121, "3" in the case of "continuous 2 rounds, with time reduction" is "continuous 2 rounds, In the case of “no time saving”, “5” is set. In addition, the stop symbol of the second special figure display unit 122 is “3” for “continuous 16 rounds, no time reduction, normal opening”, and “5” for “continuous 16 rounds, no time reduction, short opening”. “7” is set in the case of “16 consecutive rounds with time reduction”.

  In step S905, when it is not a small hit (step S905: No), a lost symbol is set (step S908), and the process is terminated.

(Example of jackpot random number determination table)
Next, the jackpot random number determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the jackpot random number determination table. In FIG. 10, the jackpot random number determination table 1000 includes a hit type 1001, a start port type 1002, a range 1003, a ratio 1004, and a random value 1005.

  The hit type 1001 includes a jackpot (direct hit jackpot) and a jackpot. The start port type 1002 includes a first start port 111 and a second start port 112. A range 1003 is a possible value of the acquired random number, and there are 400 “0 to 399”. A ratio 1004 is obtained by dividing the number of random number values 1005 by the number of ranges 1003.

  Of the winning types 1001, a big win indicates that a winning of a game ball to the first starting port 111 is won at a ratio 1004 of 1/400. The jackpot indicates that the game ball won at the second start port 112 is not won. The small win indicates that the winning at the first start port 111 or the second start port 112 is won at a ratio 1004 of 300/400.

(An example of a design random number determination table by winning at the first start opening)
Next, the symbol random number determination table by winning to the 1st starting port 111 is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 11A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a symbol random number determination table by winning to the first start port 111. In FIG. 11A, the symbol random number determination table 1100 is a table that is used when a big hit or a small win is won as a result of the big hit random number determination by winning a game ball to the first start port 111. The symbol random number determination table 1100 includes a hit content 1101, a hit type 1102, a range 1103, a ratio 1104, and a random value 1105.

  The winning content 1101 indicates the number of consecutive rounds of the big hit when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 during the small hit, and the presence or absence of the short-time game after the big hit ends. ”And“ 2R with a short time ”and“ 15R with a short time ”indicating a direct hit jackpot.

  The hit type 1102 includes a jackpot (direct hit jackpot) and a jackpot. A range 1103 indicates a range that the acquired random number can take, for example, 250 “0 to 249”. A ratio 1104 is obtained by dividing the number of random number values 1105 by the number of ranges 1103 and indicates a winning probability.

  The symbol random number determination table 1100 indicates that a jackpot with a 15R time shortening (direct hit jackpot) 1107 is selected at a rate 1104 of 100 percent. Further, it is shown that “small hit with no short time at 2R” 1108 and “small hit with short time at 2R” 1109 are selected at a ratio 1104 of “125/250” (50 percent).

(An example of a design random number determination table by winning at the second starting port)
Next, a symbol random number determination table by winning to the second start port 112 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a symbol random number determination table by winning to the second starting port 112. In the description of FIG. 11B, the same reference numerals are given to those described in FIG. Also, the number of rounds will be omitted here.

  In FIG. 11B, the symbol random number determination table 1110 is a table used when winning a small hit as a result of the big hit random number determination by winning a game ball to the second starting port 112. This symbol random number determination table 1110 indicates that in the lottery by winning to the second start port 112, the jackpot with a 15R short-time (direct hit jackpot) 1120 is not won.

  In the design random number determination table 1110, the honey release time 1111 indicates the release time of the honey 131 at the time of a small hit. In the honey opening time 1111, the long opening is specifically the opening of 1.6 seconds, and the short opening is the opening of 0.1 seconds.

  “Small with time” 1121 indicates that a ratio 1104 of “100/250” is selected. “Normal opening small hit without time” 1122 indicates that “25/250” ratio 1104 is selected. “Short-open small short hit without time” 1123 indicates that a ratio 1104 of “125/250” is selected.

  Here, the ratio 1104 of the “small hit with a short time” 1109 shown in FIG. 11A is “125/250”, and the ratio 1104 of the “small hit with a short time” 1121 shown in FIG. The ratio 1104 of “small hit with a short time” 1109 due to winning at the first start port 111 is higher.

  In addition, in the “short opening time short hit small hit” 1123, since the opening time of the honey 131 is 0.1 second, there is almost no game ball winning in the open / close winning device 130, that is, the V zone 132 is played. The ball is rarely won and won a big hit.

  Here, the ratio of the “small hit with time reduction” 1109 to the ratio 1104 (“125/250”) to the ratio 1104 (“125/250”) of the “small hit without time reduction” 1108 shown in FIG. “Percentage with 1 start-up hour shortening”. In this example, the ratio of the first start opening time shortening is “((125/250) / (125/250)) = 1”.

  Further, the ratio of the ratio 1104 (“100/250”) of the “small hit with time reduction” 1121 to the ratio 1104 (“25/250”) of the “normal opening small hit without time reduction” 1122 shown in FIG. “Second start-up time ratio”. In this example, the ratio of the second start opening time shortening is “((100/250) / (25/250)) = 4”.

  In this way, the first start port shorting ratio “1” and the second start port short ratio “4” are compared, and the second start port short ratio is higher than the first start port short ratio. As such, each winning probability is preset.

  Here, it demonstrates in detail that the 2nd start opening time shortening ratio was made higher than the 1st starting opening time shortening ratio. As described above, in the case of “no short time short opening small hit” 1123, the game ball rarely wins in the open / close winning device 130. In other words, in the case of “short opening short hit small hit per hour” 1123, the V zone 132 is not won and the jackpot is not shifted to the big hit by this small hit, so the ratio 1104 “125/250” "Can be ignored as the probability of going to jackpot game in effect.

  In other words, the ratio of shifting to a jackpot with a short time due to winning at the second starting port 112 is the winning ratio of 1104 (100/250) for winning the “small bonus with a time” 1121 and the winning of “normal opening small hit with no time” 1122 The ratio can be calculated from the ratio to the ratio 1104 (25/100), specifically, “((100/250) / (125/250)) = 80%”. Further, the ratio of shifting to the jackpot without time is “((25/100) / (125/250)) = 20%”.

  In addition, the ratio of winning the winning jackpot with the first start port 111 is the ratio of winning 1104 (125/250) of “small bonus with time” 1108 and the winning ratio of “small bonus without time” 1108 1104 (125/250), and specifically, “(125 / (125 + 125)) = 50%”. Further, the ratio of shifting to the jackpot without time is “(125 / (125 + 125) = 50%”.

  In this way, the rate of shifting to jackpot with time savings due to winning at the second starting port 112 is “80%”, while the rate of shifting to jackpot with time savings by winning at the first starting port 111 is actually Is “50%”. Therefore, the winning at the second start port 112 is likely to generate a jackpot with a short time, so that the player can acquire a large number of balls. Furthermore, since the symbol random number determination table 1110 for the second start port 112 is not provided with a 2-round jackpot but only a 16-round jackpot, it is possible for a player to acquire a large number of balls. Yes.

(Processing during stoppage)
Next, a stop process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the stop process performed by the main control unit 301. In FIG. 12, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not a short time game flag indicating a short time game state is ON (step S <b> 1201). The short-time game flag is a flag set in a game state setting process which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the time-short game flag is OFF (step S1201: No), the process proceeds to step S1205. When the time-short game flag is ON (step S1201: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the remaining time J of the time-short game (step S1202). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the remaining game count J of the short-time game is “0” (step S1203). When the remaining game count J is not “0” (step S1203: No), the process proceeds to step S1205. When the remaining game count J is “0” (step S1203: Yes), the short time game flag is turned OFF (step S1204), and the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1205, it is determined whether or not the stopped special figure 1 or special figure 2 is a symbol indicating a direct hit jackpot (step S1205). When it is not a symbol indicating a direct hit big hit (step S1205: No), it is determined whether or not the stopped special figure 1 or special figure 2 is a symbol showing a small hit (step S1206). If it is not a symbol indicating a small hit (step S1206: No), that is, if it is a symbol indicating a loss, the processing is terminated as it is.

  If it is a symbol indicating a small hit (step S1206: Yes), the small hit game flag is turned ON (step S1207), and the process is terminated. In step S1205, when the stopped special figure 1 or special figure 2 is a symbol indicating a direct hit jackpot (step S1205: Yes), the direct hit jackpot game flag is turned ON (step S1208). Then, the remaining game count J is set to “0” (step S1209), and the time-saving game flag is turned OFF (step S1210).

  Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started (step S1211), the jackpot opening command is set (step S1212), and the process is terminated.

(V zone SW processing)
Next, the V zone SW process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the V zone SW process performed by the main control unit 301. The V zone SW process is a process content included in the switch process shown in step S402 of FIG. In FIG. 13, the CPU 311 determines whether or not the V zone SW 132a is ON (step S1301). If the V zone SW 132a is OFF (step S1301: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  When the V zone SW 132a is ON (step S1301: Yes), it is determined whether or not the V zone 132 in the open / close prize winning device 130 is within the valid period, that is, within a predetermined period after the start of the small hit (step S1301: Yes). S1302). If it is not during the valid period of the V zone 132 (step S1302: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  If it is during the effective period of the V zone 132 (step S1302: Yes), the V flag indicating that the V prize is won is turned ON (step S1303). Then, a V winning command for opening the jackpot effect and the big winning opening 150 is set (step S1304), and the process is terminated.

(Prize winnings processing)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14, a winning combination process for operating the special winning opening 150 or the open / close winning apparatus 130 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a winning combination process performed by the main control unit 301. The winning combination process is a process content included in the electric combination control process shown in step S404 of FIG.

  In FIG. 14, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (step S1401). The jackpot game flag is a direct hit jackpot game flag set in the stop process shown in FIG. 12 (see step S1208 in FIG. 12) or an open / close prize device process shown in FIG. This is a jackpot game flag set by the V winning of the device 130.

  When the big hit game flag is OFF (step S1401: No), it is determined whether or not the small hit game flag is ON (step S1402). The small hit game flag is a flag (see step S1207 in FIG. 12) that is set in the stop process shown in FIG. When the small hit game flag is OFF (step S1402: No), the process is ended as it is. When the small hit game flag is ON (step S1402: Yes), an open / close winning device process described later with reference to FIG. 15 is executed (step S1403), and the process is terminated.

  In step S1401, when the jackpot game flag is ON (step S1401: Yes), a big prize opening game process described later with reference to FIG. 16 is executed (step S1404), and the process is terminated.

(Opening and closing winning equipment processing)
Next, the open / close prize winning device process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an open / close prize winning device process performed by the main control unit 301. In FIG. 15, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not it is during the V effective period after the operation of the honey 131 is finished (step S <b> 1501). If it is during the V effective period after the operation of the honey 131 (step S1501: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1509. If it is not during the V effective period after the operation of the honey 131 (step S1501: No), it is determined whether or not the honey 131 is operating (step S1502).

  If the honey 131 is in operation (step S1502: YES), the process proceeds to step S1507. If the honey 131 is not operating (step S1502: No), based on the special symbol set by the jackpot determination process (see FIG. 9), the round number R at the jackpot time or the operation pattern of the honey 131 is set. The R number / operation pattern setting process is executed (step S1503).

  The number of rounds set in the R number / actuation pattern setting process is set according to the first start port 111 or the second start port 112 that has won a prize. Specifically, in FIG. 11-1 or FIG. Using the illustrated symbol random number determination tables 1100 and 1110, either one of 2 rounds or 16 rounds is set. Then, a V effective period setting process for setting the V effective period including the effective period during the opening operation of the honey 131 and after the opening operation ends is executed (step S1504). Then, “1” is added to the round number R (step S1505), and the operation of the honeycomb 131 is started (step S1506).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operating time of the honey 131 has elapsed (step S1507). When the operation time of the honey 131 has not elapsed (step S1507: No), the processing is ended as it is. When the operation time of the honey 131 has elapsed (step S1507: Yes), the operation of the honey 131 is ended (step S1508), and it is determined whether or not the V effective period after the operation of the honey 131 has ended (step S1509). ). If the V effective period after the operation of the honeycomb 131 has not ended (step S1509: No), the processing is ended as it is.

  When the V effective period after the operation of the honey 131 ends (step S1509: Yes), it is determined whether or not the V flag indicating V winning is ON (step S1510). The V flag is a flag set in the V zone SW process (see step S1303 in FIG. 13). If the V flag is ON (step S1510: YES), the jackpot game flag indicating the jackpot is turned ON (step S1511), and the short-time game flag is turned OFF (step S1512).

  Then, the jackpot opening is started (step S1513), and the jackpot opening command is set (step S1514). Thereafter, the V flag is turned off (step S1515), the small hit game flag is turned off (step S1516), and the process is terminated. In step S1510, when the V flag is OFF (step S1510: No), the round number R is set to “0” (step S1517), and the process proceeds to step S1516.

(Big prize opening game processing)
Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the big prize mouth game process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a special winning mouth game process performed by the main control unit 301. In FIG. 16, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not the jackpot opening is in progress (step S1601). The opening means a predetermined time before the special winning opening 150 is opened.

  When the jackpot opening is in progress (step S1601: Yes), it is determined whether a predetermined opening time has passed (step S1602). If the opening time has not elapsed (step S1602: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  When the opening time has elapsed (step S1602: Yes), it is determined whether or not the round number R is “1” (step S1603). In the determination in step S1603, the round number R being “1” indicates that the honey 131 has been released in the opening / closing prize winning device process (see step S1505 in FIG. 15). Indicates no. On the other hand, the fact that the round number R is not “1” indicates that the opening 131 of the open / close winning device 130 has not been released, that is, it is a direct hit jackpot.

  When the number of rounds R is 1 (step S1603: Yes), that is, when it is a big win by V winning, the process proceeds to step S1605. On the other hand, if the round number R is not 1 (step S1603: No), that is, if it is a direct hit jackpot, based on the special symbol set by the jackpot determination process (see FIG. 9), An R number / operation pattern setting process for setting is executed (step S1604). The number of rounds set in the R number / operation pattern setting process is specifically 15 rounds.

  Then, the count value C of the number of game balls won for each round is set to 0 (step S1605). Thereafter, the value obtained by adding 1 to the number of rounds R is set as a new R (step S1606), and the special winning opening solenoid 150b is controlled to start the operation of the special winning opening 150 (step S1607). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an operation time of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) from the start of opening has elapsed (step S1608). When the operation time has elapsed (step S1608: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1610. If the operating time has not elapsed (step S1608: No), it is determined whether or not the count value C indicating the number of winnings to the special winning opening 150 is a specified number (for example, 10) (step S1609).

  If the count value C is not a specified number (step S1609: No), the process is terminated as it is. When the count value C is a specified number (step S1609: Yes), the operation of the special winning opening 150 is ended (step S1610). And it is determined whether it is the maximum round number R which shows the last round (step S1611).

  If it is not the maximum number of rounds R (step S1611: No), the process is terminated as it is. When it is the maximum number of rounds R (step S1611: Yes), ending is started (step S1612). Here, the ending refers to a predetermined production time after closing the special prize opening 150.

  After starting the ending in step S1612, an ending command is set (step S1613). Then, the round number R is set to “0” (step S1614), and it is determined whether the ending time has elapsed (step S1615). If the ending time has elapsed (step S1615: Yes), the game state setting process is executed (step S1616). The game state setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thereafter, the jackpot game flag is turned off (step S1617), and the process is terminated. If the ending time has not elapsed (step S1615: No), the processing is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot opening is not in progress in step S1601 (step S1601: No), it is determined whether or not ending is in progress (step S1618). If it is ending (step S1618: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1615. If it is not ending (step S1618: No), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 150 is operating (opening) (step S1619). When the special winning opening 150 is in operation (step S1619: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1607. When the special winning opening 150 is not in operation (step S1619: No), the process proceeds to step S1605.

(Game state setting process)
Next, the game state setting process performed by the main control unit 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a game state setting process performed by the main control unit 301. The gaming state setting process is the process shown in step S1616 of FIG. In FIG. 17, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 301 determines whether or not it is a jackpot with time saving (step S1701).

  If it is not a jackpot with time saving (step S1701: No), the process is terminated as it is. If it is a jackpot with time saving (step S1701: Yes), the time saving game flag is turned ON (step S1702). Thereafter, the remaining game count J of the short-time game is set to 100 (step S1703), and the process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the second start port 112 is more than the winning probability “125/250” (see FIG. 11-1) with a short time due to winning at the first start port 111. Since the winning probability “100/250” (see FIG. 11-2) with a short time due to winning a prize is set to be low, by disclosing these winning probabilities, the player can 2 It is possible to make the player aware that even if the game is aimed at the starting port 112, it will not be advantageous to the player. Therefore, an inappropriate game in which the player aims at the second start port 112 in the normal gaming state can be suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the timeless short hit due to winning at the second start port 112 is a time when the opening time of the honey 131 is extremely short. Short opening short hit without time reduction "1123 and" Normal opening small hit without time reduction "1122 with the opening time of the honey 131 as a normal opening time.

  Therefore, there is almost no game ball winning in the opening / closing prize winning device 130 at the time of “short opening without short time” 1123, that is, through the “small opening with short time” 1121 or “normal opening small hit without time” 1122. Therefore, the ratio of occurrence of a jackpot with a short time can be increased by winning the second start port 112.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the “with time reduction” with respect to the winning probability (ratio 1104) of the “no time reduction small hit” 1108 by winning the first start port 111 is shown. “Small with time” with respect to the winning probability of “Short-term normal opening small hit” 1122 due to the percentage of winning probability of “Small” 1109 (the ratio of the first starting port with time-shortening = “1”) and winning to the second starting port 112 In comparison with the ratio of winning probability of “winning” 1121 (the ratio of the second start opening time shortening = “4”), the second starting opening time shortening ratio is higher than the first starting opening time shortening ratio. The winning probability is set.

  Therefore, it is possible to increase the rate of occurrence of a jackpot with a short time due to winning at the second starting port 112 as compared to winning at the first starting port 111. Thereby, after shifting to the short-time gaming state, the player can acquire a large number of balls, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, except for the case of a direct hit jackpot, the pachinko gaming machine 100 that shifts to a small jackpot by winning the first starting port 111 and shifts to a jackpot by winning the V zone 132 is used. Although described using, it is not limited to such a pachinko gaming machine 100. That is, for example, without winning a jackpot due to winning at the first start opening 111, only when winning a direct hit jackpot, the jackpot is shifted, and after this jackpot, the game is shifted to the short-time gaming state, It is also possible to apply the present invention to a gaming machine that shifts to a small win by a lottery by winning a prize at the start port 112.
