Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that executes a jackpot lottery to determine whether or not to generate a jackpot state, and generates a jackpot state in response to the winning.

  Conventionally, there is known a pachinko gaming machine that executes a jackpot lottery to determine whether or not to generate a jackpot state in response to a start winning prize, and generates a jackpot state in response to a win. This type of pachinko gaming machine starts symbol variation in response to a start winning prize, and notifies whether or not a big hit lottery is determined by a symbol that is stopped and displayed. In recent years, a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of symbol variations progress simultaneously has been proposed for the purpose of enhancing the interest of the game by utilizing symbol variations (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional pachinko gaming machine has the following problems. Various rules regarding pachinko gaming machines are set according to social demands, and manufacturers of pachinko gaming machines need to produce and sell gaming machines that comply with the rules. For example, with respect to the above-mentioned symbol variation, there is a rule that the symbol variation period needs to be determined in advance at the time of starting winning, and thereafter the symbol variation time must not be changed. In many pachinko gaming machines, the symbol variation period is different between the symbol variation that displays the loss and the symbol variation that accompanies the reach effect that expresses the expectation for the jackpot. Therefore, under the rules prohibiting the change of the symbol variation time as described above, the change from the loss effect to the reach effect is restricted. As described above, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, there is a problem that it is not possible to effectively improve the interest of the game even if a complicated configuration in which a plurality of symbol variations are simultaneously progressed with a narrow design freedom of design due to symbol variations. There is.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of symbol variations progress simultaneously, and effectively utilizes the simultaneous progression of a plurality of symbol variations to enhance the interest of the game. It is intended to provide a pachinko machine that is highly enhanced.

The present invention includes a first lottery means for executing a first jackpot lottery for lottery of whether or not to generate a jackpot in response to a first start prize;
A second lottery means for executing a second jackpot lottery for lottery whether or not to generate a jackpot in response to the second start winning prize;
First display means for displaying the lottery result by the first lottery means by the first symbol variation;
A second display means capable of displaying the lottery result by the second lottery means by the second symbol variation, while the second symbol variation can be displayed with overlapping periods during the first symbol variation display;
When there is a first start winning during the first symbol variation display, the first symbol variation corresponding to the first start winning is held in association with the symbol variation period of the first symbol variation, A first holding means for displaying the first symbol variation sequentially held according to the end of the symbol variation;
When there is a second starting prize during the second symbol variation display, the second symbol variation corresponding to the second starting prize is held in association with the symbol variation period of the second symbol variation, A second holding means for displaying the second symbol variation sequentially held according to the end of the symbol variation;
In a pachinko gaming machine provided with an effect specifying means for executing an effect specifying process for specifying an effect process executed during symbol variation from a plurality of types of effect processes including a reach effect,
An effect of executing an effect adjustment process for adjusting whether or not to execute the reach effect with the second symbol variation when the effect specifying means specifies that the reach effect is to be performed with the first symbol variation. Adjusting means,
It said second holding means, when suspending the second symbol variation, to hold a second symbol variation in association with the same symbol variation period regardless of whether or not to execute the reach demonstration,
When the second display means displays the second symbol variation held by the second holding means, the adjustment result by the effect adjustment process is an adjustment result for executing the reach effect or does not execute the reach effect. Regardless of the adjustment result, the second symbol variation is displayed in the symbol variation period associated with the second start winning ,
The effect specifying means specifies whether or not to execute a special effect in which the reach effect executed in the first symbol variation and the reach effect executed in the second symbol variation are executed. While the special effect specifying process is executed in response to the first start winning prize, when the special effect specifying process specifies that the special effect is to be executed, the first start that triggered the execution of the special effect specifying process The production specifying process is executed by specifying the execution of the reach production for the original fluctuation which is the first symbol fluctuation corresponding to the winning,
When the effect adjusting means specifies that the special effect is to be executed by the special effect specifying process, the effect adjusting means specifies at least a part of the symbol variation period of the original variation as an effect target period,
The variation start of the second symbol variation that is the target of the effect adjustment processing after the fact that the special effect is to be executed is specified as the effect adjustment processing for the second symbol variation executed in the period overlapping with the effect target period There is a pachinko gaming machine which is executed until the time and the second symbol variation is held by the second holding means (Claim 1).

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the symbol variation period of the second symbol variation is the same regardless of whether or not the reach effect is executed. Therefore, even if it is under the rule which prohibits the change of symbol variation time, the said effect adjustment process for adjusting whether a reach effect is performed about the 2nd symbol variation hold | maintained by the said 2nd holding means Can be executed. According to this pachinko gaming machine, it is possible to enhance the player's expectation for the jackpot by appropriately adjusting the effect of the second symbol variation.

  Thus, according to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by utilizing the simultaneous progress of a plurality of symbol variations.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention may be a pachinko gaming machine in which a game medium such as a ball is paid out in accordance with a winning prize, or may be a so-called encapsulated pachinko gaming machine that is not accompanied by a payout of the gaming medium. good.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the symbol variation period of the second symbol variation is the same regardless of whether or not the reach effect is executed. For this reason, there is a risk that the design variation period of the reach effect cannot be sufficiently secured and the effect is insufficient. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the reach effect can be performed by the effect adjustment process for the first symbol variation. Therefore, when it is desired to excite the symbol variation itself, the reach effect may be executed in an overlapping manner. . If the reach effect is executed in this way, it is possible to avoid the possibility of falling into a situation where the effect of the reach effect cannot be sufficiently ensured due to a lack of effect time or the like.

Further, the effect specifying means determines whether or not to execute a special effect in which the reach effect executed in the first symbol variation and the reach effect executed in the second symbol variation are executed. While the special effect specifying process to be specified is executed in response to the first start winning prize, the execution of the special effect specifying process is triggered when the special effect specifying process specifies that the special effect is to be executed. The production specifying process is executed by specifying the execution of the reach production for the original fluctuation which is the first symbol fluctuation corresponding to one start winning prize,
When the effect adjusting means specifies that the special effect is to be executed by the special effect specifying process, the effect adjusting means specifies at least a part of the symbol variation period of the original variation as an effect target period,
The variation start of the second symbol variation that is the target of the effect adjustment processing after the fact that the special effect is to be executed is specified as the effect adjustment processing for the second symbol variation executed in the period overlapping with the effect target period It is up to the time, and to run in the period in which the second symbol variation is on hold by the second holding means.

  When the special effect that overlaps the reach effect is executed, the special effect can be surely executed because the reach effect is executed with the first symbol variation. In this case, the second symbol variation is suspended in the same symbol variation period regardless of the presence or absence of the reach effect. Even under the rules described above, there is no problem because it is possible to freely change whether or not to execute the reach effect.

Further, the effect specifying means determines whether or not to execute a special effect in which the reach effect executed in the first symbol variation and the reach effect executed in the second symbol variation are executed. The special production specifying process to be specified is executed according to the second start winning prize,
It is specified that the effect adjusting means executes the special effect by the special effect specifying process in a state where it is specified that the reach effect is executed by the first symbol variation held by the first holding means. When it is done, while specifying at least a part of the symbol variation period of the first symbol variation that has been specified to perform the reach effect as the effect target period,
The variation start of the second symbol variation that is the target of the effect adjustment processing after the fact that the special effect is to be executed is specified as the effect adjustment processing for the second symbol variation executed in the period overlapping with the effect target period It is preferable that the second symbol variation is performed until the time and during the period in which the second symbol variation is held by the second holding means (claim 2 ).
In this case, it is possible to execute a special effect that overlaps the reach effect using the first symbol variation in which the execution of the reach effect has been confirmed among the first symbol variations that are on hold.

Further, the effect specifying means executes the special effect by the special effect specifying process in a state where it is not specified that the reach effect is executed by the first symbol variation held by the first holding means. When the first start winning is determined, the effect specifying process is executed by specifying the execution of the reach effect in the corresponding variation that is the first symbol variation corresponding to the first starting winning,
The effect adjusting means specifies at least a part of the symbol variation period of the corresponding variation as an effect target period,
The variation start of the second symbol variation that is the target of the effect adjustment processing after the fact that the special effect is to be executed is specified as the effect adjustment processing for the second symbol variation executed in the period overlapping with the effect target period It is preferable that the second symbol variation is executed until the time and during the period in which the second symbol variation is held by the second holding means (claim 3 ).
In this case, the special effect can be executed even when the reserved first symbol variation cannot be used for the special effect, such as when the reach effect is not performed due to the pending first symbol variation. .

In addition, the second holding means holds when the second symbol variation corresponding to the second start winning is held at least for a predetermined period after the execution of the special effect is specified by the special effect specifying process. Associate and hold a predetermined symbol variation period for all target second symbol variations,
In order to produce the fact that the lottery result that is a big hit in the symbol variation being displayed or the symbol variation on hold is shown by performing the special rendering a specific number of times continuously, Based on the second symbol variation executed at the time when the jackpot lottery result is indicated by the symbol variation, the second immediately before the second symbol variation that has been traced back by the specific number of times including the second symbol variation. The effect adjustment is performed so that the reach effect is not executed by the symbol variation, or the reach effect is executed by the second symbol variation that goes back in time for the specific number of times including the reference second symbol variation. It is preferable to execute the processing (claim 4 ).
In this case, it is possible to generate a symbol variation that is a big hit when the special effect is executed continuously for the specific number of times.

In addition, when the effect specifying means specifies that the special effect is to be executed, a command instruction that can specify the number of instructions that is the number of executions of the special effect indicating that the jackpot expectation value is high for the player Command instruction means for performing
The effect adjusting means is configured such that the command display is executed in a state where the first holding means and the second holding means are not holding the symbol variation indicating the lottery result in which both of them are a big hit, and the symbol variation is further held. When the number of executions of the special effect executed at the time is equal to or greater than the command number, the effect adjustment process is executed so that the reach effect is not executed by the second symbol variation held by the second holding means. (Claim 5 ).
In this case, it is not necessary to change the number of commands depending on the design fluctuation suspension status, for example, the number of commands can be always kept constant, and the command number can be widened.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
(Example)
This example is an example related to the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which two types of symbol variations proceed simultaneously. According to this pachinko gaming machine 1, the player's sense of expectation for a big hit can be extremely effectively enhanced by simultaneous reach production by two kinds of symbol variations. This content will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example includes an opening / closing door 13 attached to a base frame (not shown), a substantially circular gaming area 130 formed on the surface of the game board inside the opening / closing door 13, A pair of speakers 131 disposed on both lower sides of the game area 130, an upper plate 135 and a lower plate 137 provided on the lower side of the game region 130, and a launch handle 134 disposed on the lower right side of the upper plate 135; It has. The open / close door 13 is provided with a substantially circular transparent window 139 corresponding to the game area 130, and decorative lamps 136 disposed on both sides of the transparent window 139.

The upper plate 135 is a tray for receiving a prize ball, a ball rental, or the like paid out in accordance with winning. The upper plate 135 is formed so as to project toward the player side. The balls of the upper plate 135 are supplied to the launching device 421 via a supply passage (not shown).
The lower plate 137 is a tray for paying out a prize ball when the balls of the upper plate 135 are full or collecting balls of the upper plate 135 in accordance with the player's operation.

  The game area 130 is an area where pachinko balls, which are game media, flow down. In the game area 130, with the display device 19 including the liquid crystal display unit 190 as the center, a passing gate 141 and the like are arranged on the left side, and the start ports 12A to 12C, the big winning device 16 and the like are arranged on the lower side. At the bottom of the game area 130, a ball discharge port 138 is opened for collecting balls that have flowed down without winning.

  The passing gate 141 is a gate that detects a passing ball. The payout of the winning ball is not set to the passing gate 141 that only allows the ball to pass. When the passing gate 141 detects a passing ball, a lottery random number for normal symbol determination (hereinafter, referred to as a normal symbol determination) is extracted, and the normal symbol determination is executed.

  The start port 12 is a winning opening that triggers a special symbol determination (hereinafter referred to as a special symbol determination). As the starting port, a first starting port 12A corresponding to a first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as a first special symbol) and a second starting port 12B corresponding to a second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as a second special symbol). And C. When a ball wins the starting opening 12A (first start winning), a lottery random number for first special figure determination is extracted, and a first special figure determination (first big hit lottery) is executed. When a ball wins the second start opening 12B, C (second start winning), a lottery random number for second special figure determination is extracted, and a second special figure determination (second big hit lottery) is executed.

  While the start openings 12A and C are normal pocket winning openings with no change in the winning rate, the start opening 12B is made of an electric chew (electric tulip) in which a pair of movable blades 121 are provided in the opening 120. The pair of movable blades 121 in a normal state is in a state of standing so as to face each other with a gap (a state indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1). In this state, the gap for one ball that opens upward is closed by the start port 12A, and the winning rate becomes zero. On the other hand, the pair of movable blades 121 (states shown by solid lines in FIG. 1) rotated so as to be separated from each other act like a tray that guides the inflow of balls into the opening 120. In this state, winning at the start port 12B becomes easy, and the winning rate increases at a stretch. The start port 12B opens the movable blade 121 in response to the winning of the normal determination. The opening time of the movable blade 121 is 0.2 seconds × 1 in the normal state, and 1.5 seconds × 3 in the probability variation state and the short time state.

  The grand prize winning device 16 is a variable prize winning device called a so-called attacker that opens the grand prize winning opening 160. The large winning device 16 is disposed below the start port 12B. The big prize device 16 includes a big prize opening 160 having a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape, and a lid member 161 that rotates forward about the lower side of the big prize opening 160. In the big winning device 16, when the lid member 161 is positioned so as to be substantially flush with the surface of the game area 130, the big winning opening 160 is closed. On the other hand, when the lid member 161 is rotated forward, the special winning opening 160 is opened. The lid member 161 rotated in this way serves as a tray for guiding the balls to the special prize opening 160. It should be noted that the payout for winning in the big winning device 16 is 15 per winning.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 19 is a display device in which the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 190 is surrounded by a decorative frame 199. The liquid crystal display unit 190 has a function as first (second) display means for notifying the player of whether or not the first (second) special figure determination is appropriate. About 2/3 area on the upper side of the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 190 is the first display screen 191 by the first display means, and the remaining lower area is the second display screen 192 by the second display means. It has become. In the decorative frame 199 on the upper side of the first display screen 191, a general map display unit 181 and a general map hold display unit 182 are arranged. In addition, in the decorative frame 199 on the lower side of the second display screen 192, first and second special figure reservation display portions 195A and 195B are arranged.

The common map display unit 181 is a display unit for determining whether or not to determine the common map. The general map display unit 181 of this example is configured by ◯ × display. The general-purpose display unit 181 displays the changing operation by alternately lighting “O” or “X”. The universal map display unit 181 finally lights up ◯ when winning in the common figure determination, and lights up X when lost. The normal time fluctuation time is 30 seconds under the normal state, and 1 second in the probability variation state that occurs with the short time state.
The usual figure hold display part 182 is a display part of the number of usual figure hold. The universal hold display unit 182 is a display unit in which four LEDs are arranged side by side. The general map hold display unit 182 displays the general map hold number (upper limit hold number of 4) according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  The first and second special figure hold display portions 195A and 195B are each composed of four hold lamps displayed at substantially equal intervals along the lower edge of the second display screen 192. The first special figure reservation display part 195A is arranged on the left side, and the second special figure reservation display part 195B is arranged on the right side. The special figure hold display sections 195A and 195 display the corresponding special figure hold number (upper limit hold number 4) according to the number of lights of the hold lamp.

On the first display screen 191 and the second display screen 192, the symbols are variably displayed, and whether or not the special symbol determination is successful (big hit or lost) is notified according to the combination of the symbols that are stopped. When a special symbol determination is won, a three-digit number of a double digit is displayed after a symbol variation display over a predetermined symbol variation time. In this example, when the big hit is won, an even number of double eyes are displayed. When a probability variation jackpot (specific jackpot) with a probability variation state (specific state) is won, an odd number of slotted eyes are stopped and displayed.
The difference between the first display screen 191 and the second display screen 192, that is, the difference between the first special diagram (first symbol variation) and the second special diagram (variation in FIG. 2) is the symbol variation time. While the symbol variation time on the first display screen 191 varies according to the number of first special figure reservations and various lottery situations, the symbol variation time on the second display screen 192 is fixed at 18 seconds.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is electrically configured around a main circuit 20 (main control board). For the main circuit 20, a payout control circuit 41 for controlling the payout of balls, a firing control circuit 42 for controlling the driving of balls, a subcontrol circuit 43 (subcontrol board) for controlling game effects, and a power supply circuit 46. In addition, winning ball or passing ball detectors 51 to 53, an electric chew solenoid 56 for opening the start opening (electrical chew) 12, a big winning solenoid 55 for opening the big winning device 16, a special figure hold display section 195A / B, The universal map display unit 181 and the universal map hold display unit 182 are electrically connected.

As a detector for a winning ball or a passing ball, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a gate passing detector 51 that detects a passing ball of the passing gate 141, and a start winning detection that detects a winning ball to the start ports 12 </ b> A to 12 </ b> C. There are devices 52A-C and a large winning detector 53 for detecting a winning ball to the large winning device 16.
The electric Chu solenoid 56 is a solenoid for opening and closing the movable blade 121 of the start port 12B.
The big prize solenoid 55 is a solenoid that rotates the lid member 161 of the big prize device 16 so that the big prize device 16 can be awarded.

The payout control circuit 41 is a control circuit that controls the payout device 411 in response to an instruction from the main circuit 20 and executes payout of a predetermined number of balls.
The firing control circuit 42 is a control circuit that controls the launching strength of the ball by controlling the firing device 421 in accordance with the operation amount of the firing handle 134.
The sub-control circuit 43 is electrically connected to a speaker device 431 including a drive amplifier, decorative lamps 432 such as a decorative lamp 136, and a display control circuit 44 that controls display on the liquid crystal display unit 190.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the main circuit 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 24, and a random number generator 26 that generates a predetermined range of random numbers. , And an I / O (Input / Output) 25 that forms an input / output interface. As with the main circuit 20, the sub control circuit 43 includes a CPU 431, a ROM 432 and a RAM 434, a random number generator 436, and an I / O 435.

  The ROM 22 of the main circuit 20 stores various processing programs to be executed by the CPU 21, lottery tables for various main lotteries relating to special drawings (FIG. 3), and lottery tables in which winning values for unillustrated common figure determination are defined. Etc. are remembered. In the various lottery tables relating to the special drawing, winning values for the following main lottery relating to the special drawing are defined.

(1) (First) jackpot lottery of the first special figure (in Figure 3, special one jackpot)
(2) (2) jackpot lottery of the 2nd special figure (same 2 jackpot)
(3) Reach lottery of the first special figure (same special one reach): A lottery to determine whether or not the symbol variation of the first special figure is a reach effect.
(4) SP reach lottery of the first special figure (same special 1SP): A lottery of whether or not the symbol variation of the first special figure is to be the SP reach effect.
(5) SP reach lottery at the time of winning the first special figure (same special one big hit SP): It is a lottery to determine whether or not the symbol variation of the first special figure will be SP reach production, and the first special figure won (big hit) ) Sometimes executed.
(6) Continuous effect lottery: A lottery for determining whether or not to execute a continuous effect. The winning values “1” and “2” are winning values for a command effect and a constant effect, respectively, which will be described later.
(7) Jackpot production lottery: A lottery to determine the type of jackpot production. Among the winning values “1 to 4”, “1” and “2” are winning values for command effects described later, and “3” and “4” are winning values for regular effects described later.

  In the present example, the special effect (6) continuous effect lottery and the (7) jackpot effect lottery are executed by overlapping the reach effect of the first special figure and the reach effect of the second special figure ( This corresponds to a special effect specifying process for determining whether or not to execute (simultaneous reach). In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example, a regular performance flag representing a regular presentation win and a command production flag representing a command presentation win are defined.

The ROM 432 of the sub control circuit 43 stores a lottery table (FIG. 4) for various sub-lotteries relating to the special figure and a selection table (FIG. 5) for determining the symbol variation time of the first special figure.
In the lottery table for sub lottery relating to the special drawing of FIG. 4, the winning values for the following sub lotteries are defined.
(8) First special drawing notice lottery (special one notice in FIG. 4): A lottery to determine whether or not a notice effect is to be executed when the first special figure changes.
(9) Reach lottery for the second special figure (same special 2 reach): A lottery for determining whether or not the symbol variation of the second special figure is a reach effect.

In this way, when symbol variation is executed, symbol variation without a notice effect, etc. → symbol variation with a notice effect → symbol variation in which reach occurs → symbol variation in which SP reach occurs, so that the jackpot expectation increases. Winning value and random number range are set. Reach is one effect processing among a plurality of types of effects executed during symbol variation. As is well known, when the same symbol is stopped, a specific reach condition is established during symbol variation. As described above, the SP reach is a reach indicating that the jackpot expectation is higher than other reach among the reach.
Note that the ROM 432 of the sub-control circuit 43 includes the lottery table for lottery in (8) and (9) above, as well as the fluctuations for determining the symbol fluctuation pattern and the stop symbol of the first special figure and the second special figure. The lottery table applied to the lottery is stored. This variable lottery is always executed regardless of the results of the main lotteries (1) to (7).

  In the selection table of FIG. 5, the symbol variation time is defined according to the combination of the number of first special figure hold at the start of variation and the effect type (variation type) of symbol variation of the first special diagram. As the variation types of the first special figure, there are dohazure, normal reach production, and SP reach production. “Dohazure” means a symbol change (not related to the notice effect) in which the reach effect is not executed.

  In this example, for the second special figure, a constant symbol fluctuation period of 18 seconds is set regardless of the type of symbol fluctuation, the number of second special figure reservations, and the like. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, the symbol variation time of the first special figure varies depending on whether or not it is a reach effect, the type of reach effect (normal or SP), and the symbol variation time for the second special figure. Always 18 seconds.

  The RAM 24 of the main circuit 20 is a readable / writable storage element used for the work area of the CPU 21 or temporary writing. The RAM 24 is provided with the storage area of FIG. The storage areas include at least a first special figure random number counter area 24a, a second special figure random number counter area 24b, a common special figure random number counter area 24c, a first special figure reservation area (first holding means) 24d, and a second special figure. There are a figure holding area (second holding means) 24e, a first special figure reading area 24f, a second special figure reading area 24g, a game flag area 24h, and a number counter area 24i.

  In the special figure random number counter areas 24a to 24c, random numbers in a predetermined range that are individually generated by the random number generator 26 are stored in correspondence with the main lotteries (1) to (7). The random number values in the special figure random number counter areas 24a to 24c are immediately updated every time the random number generator 26 generates a random number at a predetermined timing based on the operation clock of the CPU 21.

In addition to the random number values applied to the main lotteries (1) and (3) to (7) related to the first special figure, the result of each lottery is stored in the first special figure reservation area 24d.
In the second special figure holding area 24e, the lottery results are stored in addition to the random values applied to the main lottery of (2), (6), and (7) related to the second special figure.

  The first (second) special figure reading area 24f (24g) stores each data read from the first (second) special figure holding area 1 when starting the symbol variation of the first (second) special figure. This is a temporary storage area.

  A game state flag and a variation flag are stored in the game flag area 24h. The gaming state flag is a flag indicating the current gaming state of the gaming machine. The variation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the special symbol is changing in symbol.

The number counter area 24i stores the number of time reductions and the number of rounds. The number of time reductions is the number of symbol fluctuations under the time reduction state, and is subtracted once for each change start of the first special figure and the second special figure. The number of rounds is the total number of round games executed in the jackpot state. The number of rounds is added once each time a round game is started.
Note that the RAM 24 of the main circuit 20 is also provided with a general random number counter area, a general map holding area, and a general map reading area for general map determination (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the main circuit 20 of the present example causes the CPU 21 to execute a program read from the ROM 22, whereby (a) first lottery means 211, (b) second lottery means 212, and (c) hold control means. 213, (d) effect specifying means 214, (e) effect adjusting means 215, (f) jackpot state generating means 216, and (g) probability variation state generating means 217 are realized. Hereinafter, each means of (a)-(g) is demonstrated.

(A) First lottery means 211
The first lottery means 211 is a means for executing various lotteries related to the first special drawing. The first lottery means 211 refers to the random number values stored in the first special figure random number counter area 24a and the common special figure random number counter area 24c when the first start winning occurs, and the above (1), (3) The main lottery is executed by comparing with the lottery table of each main lottery of (7) to (7). The random number value referred to by the first lottery means 211 and the main lottery results of the above (1), (3) to (7) are the reserved area having the largest number among the empty areas of the first special figure reserved area 24d. Stored in

Here, as winning of the above (1) first special figure, a probability variation jackpot in which a probability variation state occurs after the end of the jackpot state and a normal jackpot to return to the normal state are set.
The (4) SP reach lottery of the first special figure (lottery of whether or not to make the SP reach effect) is executed when the reach lottery of the first special figure is won. An SP reach effect is executed in response to the winning, and a normal reach effect is executed in the case of a loss.
The above (5) SP reach lottery at the time of winning the first special figure (lottery of whether or not the symbol fluctuation of the first special figure is used as the SP reach effect) is executed at the time of winning the first special figure (big win), In the case of, normal reach production is executed.

  When winning the winning value “1” in the (6) continuous production lottery (the lottery of whether or not to perform the continuous production), a command display “Generate simultaneous reach three times” is displayed as the continuous production. By executing the content of the command display within the period of, the command effect to perform the jackpot notice effect is executed, and when winning at “2”, simultaneous reach is generated continuously (three times) as a continuous effect By doing so, a jackpot notice effect is performed. However, unlike the command effect, a specific effect is always provided without a specific period being provided. Note that the SP reach effect is executed in the symbol variation (original variation) corresponding to the first special figure won in the continuous effect lottery.

  The (7) lottery effect lottery (the lottery of executing the command effect or the constant effect) is executed when the first special figure is won. When the winning values “1 to 4” are won by “1” and “2”, the command effect is executed, and when “3” and “4” are won, the effect is always executed.

  The first lottery means 211 further acquires a random number generated by the random number generation unit 436 (sub control circuit 43) when starting the symbol variation of the first special figure, and the advance notice of the first special figure of (8) above. A lottery (a sub lottery for determining whether or not a notice effect is to be executed with the symbol variation of the first special figure) is executed. However, this preliminary lottery corresponds to the case where the special drawing is a loss or the reach lottery is a loss. If the reach lottery is won in the lottery of the above (1) to (7) or the first special figure or the second special figure is won, it is not executed. If the above-mentioned (8) notice lottery of the first special figure is won, execution of the notice effect in which the character (see FIG. 10) whose symbol changes in the first special figure appears is determined.

(B) Second lottery means 212
The second lottery means 212 is a means for executing various lotteries related to the second special drawing. The second lottery means 212 refers to the random number values stored in the second special figure random number counter area 24b and the common special figure random number counter area 24c when the second start winning is generated, and the above (2), (6) The main lottery is executed by collating with the lottery table for each main lottery in (7). The random number value referred to by the second lottery means 212 and the main lottery results of the above (2), (6), and (7) are stored in the area with the largest number among the empty areas of the second special figure reservation area 24e. Stored.

  The second lottery means 212 further acquires a random number generated by the random number generation unit 436 (sub control circuit 43) when starting the symbol variation of the second special figure, and reaches the reach of the second special figure of (9) above. A lottery (sub lottery) is executed. This reach lottery corresponds to the case where the special drawing is lost or the reach lottery is lost. Therefore, it is not executed when the reach lottery is won in the lottery of the above (1) to (7) or the first special figure or the second special figure is won. If the reach drawing of the second special figure in (9) above (the lottery for determining whether or not the symbol change of the second special figure is used as the reach effect) is won, the execution of the reach effect during the symbol change of the second special figure is executed. It is determined.

  When winning the continuous production lottery (the lottery for determining whether or not to execute the continuous production) with the winning value “1”, as in the case of the first special figure, the simultaneous production is “three simultaneous reach times”. When the command effect “Let's generate” is executed, and “2” is won, a continuous effect in which simultaneous reach is continuously generated as a continuous effect is executed. The SP reach effect is executed with the symbol variation (corresponding variation) of the first special symbol executed when the symbol variation (original variation) corresponding to the second special symbol won in the continuous effect lottery is determined. In addition, about the 1st special figure, the change to the SP reach production after the lottery is prohibited. For this reason, adjustment is performed so that the SP reach effect is executed with the corresponding variation only in the case of no winning.

  The (7) jackpot effect lottery (the lottery for executing the command effect or the constant effect) is executed when the second special figure is won, as in the case of the first special figure. When the winning values “1 to 4” are won by “1” and “2”, the command effect is executed, and when “3” and “4” are won, the effect is always executed.

  In the description of this example, the symbol variation corresponding to the special symbol won in the continuous effect lottery of (6) above is referred to as “original variation”, and the symbol variation of the other special symbol executed at the end of the original variation is referred to as “original variation”. “Response fluctuation”. Furthermore, the reach period of the first special figure related to the continuous production is set as the “production reach period”. In this stage reach period, even if a new continuous stage is won, it will be cancelled.

(C) Hold control means 213
The holding control means 213 is a means for holding the random number value referred to by the first (second) lottery means 211 (212) in response to the first (second) starting prize and the lottery result based on the random number value. When the first (second) starting prize is generated, the hold control means 213 receives the data in the first (second) special figure random number counter area 24a (24b) and the common special figure random number counter area 24c as the first (Second) Store in the area with the largest number among the free areas of the special figure reservation area 24d (24e).

  When the first (second) variation flag is zero and the game state flag is other than 1 (big hit state), the hold control means 213 stores the first (second) special figure hold area 24d (24e). The reserved data in the area 1 is read and stored in the first (second) special figure reading area 24f (24g). Thereafter, the stored data in the first (second) special figure reading area 24f (24g) is erased when the symbol variation of the corresponding first (second) special figure ends. When the data in area 1 in the first (second) special figure holding area 24d (24e) is read into the first (second) special figure reading area 24f (g), the holding control means 213 reads the data in area 2 Is transferred to the area 1, the data in the area 3 is transferred to the area 2, and the data in the area 4 is transferred to the area 3 for each of the reserved areas 24d and 24e. That is, the variation start condition described later indicates a condition for reading the above-described hold data, and is also satisfied when a start winning is made in a state where no hold data is stored. Note that the random number for determining the common map is handled in substantially the same manner as described above.

(D) Production specifying means 214
The effect specifying means 214 is a means for selecting an effect to be executed during the symbol variation of the first special figure and the second special figure from the effect processing including the reach effect.
(E) Production adjusting means 215
The effect adjusting unit 215 adjusts whether or not the reach effect is executed with the symbol variation of the second special figure when the effect specifying unit 214 selects the execution of the reach effect with the symbol variation of the first special symbol. It is means for executing the adjustment process.

(F) Big hit state generating means 216
The big hit state generating means 216 is means for generating a big hit state. The jackpot state generating means 216 generates a jackpot state when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first display screen 191 corresponding to the first special figure or the second display screen 192 corresponding to the second special figure. The big hit state is a very advantageous state in which a round game (upper limit winning number 8) in which the big winning opening 160 is opened is repeated 16 times. As the jackpot state, there are a probability variation jackpot state followed by a probability variation state and a normal jackpot state that immediately returns to the normal state upon completion.

(G) Probability change state generation means 217
The probability variation state generation means 217 is a means for generating a probability variation state after the probability variation jackpot state ends. The probability variation state generation means 217 generates a probability variation state after the probability variation jackpot state ends, and then continues the probability variation state until a new jackpot win. In the jackpot determination under the probability variation state, the winning probability of the jackpot is high, which is advantageous. In addition, the probability variation state of the present example occurs with a short time state in which the symbol variation time on the display screens 191 and 192 and the universal symbol display unit 181 is shortened.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the start port winning process when winning the first start port 12A or the second start port 12B / C. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the second special figure variation process.

  In the starting port winning process of FIG. 7, first, it is determined whether or not a winning has occurred in the starting ports 12A to 12C (S101). When a winning occurs (S101: YES), the main lottery process P11 is executed. In the main lottery process P11 corresponding to the winning at the first starting port 12A, the main lottery of the above (1), (3) to (7) is executed, and according to the winning at the second starting port 12B / C. In the main lottery process P11, the main lotteries (2), (6), and (7) are executed. The random values and lottery results for each main lottery referred to in the main lottery process P11 are stored in the first special figure reservation area 24d or the second special figure reservation area 24e (see FIG. 6). Each sub lottery of (8) and (9) is executed not at the time of winning a prize but at the start of symbol variation of the corresponding special figure.

  After the main lottery process P11, the flag value of the regular effect flag is determined (S102). When the permanent effect flag is 1 (S102: NO), a second adjustment process (effect adjustment process) P122 described later is executed. On the other hand, when the permanent effect flag is zero (S102: YES), the flag value of the command effect flag is determined (S103). If the command effect flag is zero (S103: YES), it is determined whether or not the continuous effect lottery (6) or (7) is successful (S104). If the continuous production lottery is won (S104: YES), the type of the continuous production won is further determined (S105).

  If the regular performance is won (S105: regular performance), 1 is set in the regular performance flag (S106), and a first adjustment process (production adjustment process) P121 described later is executed. On the other hand, if the command effect is won (S105: command effect), 1 is set to the command effect flag and the command display flag which is a control flag for executing the command display (S116).

Here, the first adjustment process P121 and the second adjustment process P122 will be described.
In the first adjustment process P121 at the time of starting winning of the first special figure, the original fluctuation (symbol fluctuation corresponding to the first special figure) becomes the SP reach effect, and the production reach period is specified. The 4th second special figure, which is calculated backward from the symbol fluctuation (corresponding fluctuation) of the second special figure executed when the symbol of the original fluctuation is determined, becomes a non-reach effect. The second special figure from the first to the one before the corresponding change is the reach effect. That is, although the details will be described later, in the production reach period that is the reach period of the original fluctuation side (first special figure) that is executed immediately before the corresponding fluctuation, at the same time as the former fluctuation side reach (overlapping) 2 The second special figure is changed to reach and adjusted so that reach can occur continuously.

  In the second special figure corresponding to the corresponding fluctuation, the reach effect is executed if the first special figure is a big hit, and the non-reach effect is executed if it is not a big hit. Such adjustment processing is executed for all suspensions in the second special figure corresponding to the production reach period. However, if the number of reserves in the second special figure is insufficient and the adjustment process as described above cannot be completed, it is carried over to the second adjustment process P122 executed at the time of starting winning the second special figure.

  On the other hand, in the first adjustment process P121 at the time of the start winning of the second special figure, first, the corresponding fluctuation side (first special figure) executed until the execution of the original fluctuation (second special figure won for the regular performance) is first performed. It is determined whether or not there is a production reach period that is a reach period (= whether or not reach is executed). If there is an effect reach period corresponding to the original fluctuation, the execution of the reach effect is adjusted in the same manner as described above by calculating backward the suspension of the second special figure. If the first special figure corresponding to the corresponding fluctuation is not suspended, the process including the second special figure is carried over to the second adjustment process P122 at the time of starting winning the first special figure that becomes the corresponding fluctuation.

  Next, in the second adjustment process P122, it is determined whether or not the reach effect is to be executed for the special figure that has not been reserved at the time of the execution of the first adjustment process P121. If it is the second adjustment process P122 at the time of starting winning of the first special figure, it is determined whether or not the effect reach period can be configured when the SP reach effect is executed by the symbol variation. If the effect reach period can be configured, the effect during the symbol variation corresponding to the first special figure becomes the SP reach effect, and the reach effect during the symbol variation of the second special figure corresponding to the configured effect reach period. Whether or not to execute is appropriately adjusted.

  On the other hand, in the case of the second adjustment process P122 at the time of the start winning of the second special figure, the unspecified result of the back calculation by the first adjustment process P121 as described above is sequentially performed in the same manner as described above. Note that the command display is displayed not only in the second special figure but also in the first special figure in the same manner as the first symbol variation after the original variation start winning. Therefore, the command display is displayed in the symbol variation executed before the first special figure and the second special figure. The command effect flag and the constant effect flag are reset when the original variation symbol is determined.

  Next, in the second special figure variation process of FIG. 8, it is first determined whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied (S201). If the change start condition is satisfied (S201: YES), the flag value of the command effect flag is determined (S202). If the command effect flag is zero (S202: NO), the flag value of the constant effect flag is determined (S213). When the regular effect flag is 0 (S213: YES), the sub lottery of (9) is executed by the sub lottery process P21, and the symbol variation according to the lottery result is executed (S214). On the other hand, when the permanent effect flag is 1 (S213: NO), the symbol variation corresponding to the adjustment process is executed (S225).

  If the command effect flag and the command display flag are 1 in step S202 (S202: YES, S203: YES), command display is executed (S204), and the command display flag is reset (S205). On the other hand, when the command display flag is zero (S203: NO), steps S204 and S205 are bypassed. If the reach is not achieved even if the reach effect is executed (S206: NO), the sub lottery process P21 is executed, and the symbol variation corresponding to the sub lottery result is executed (S207), which overlaps the effect reach period. It is determined whether or not a reach effect is obtained (S208). If it is a reach effect that overlaps in the effect reach period (S208: YES), the number of effect reach that represents a guideline for achieving the command is subtracted once (S209).

  In step S206, if the reach is performed when the reach effect is executed (S206: YES), the starting symbol variation is the original variation, or the corresponding variation is the final symbol variation in which the original variation and the reach period overlap. Is determined (S216). When the symbol variation to be started is the original variation or the corresponding variation (S216: YES), it is further determined whether or not the special variation of the original variation is a big hit (S217). If the special figure of the original variation is a big hit (S217: YES), a reach effect is set as an effect to be executed with the symbol variation to be started (S218). On the other hand, in the above step S216, when the symbol variation to be started is neither original variation nor corresponding variation (S216: NO), and when the special variation of the original variation is lost (S217: NO), execution is performed with the symbol variation to be started. A non-reach effect is set as the effect to be performed (S227).

  The effect patterns of the first special figure and the second special figure in the pachinko gaming machine of the present example configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. Of the strip-like regions extending in the horizontal direction in the figure, each rectangular region partitioned by a vertical line corresponds to one symbol variation, and the horizontal length of each region is the symbol variation period. Is shown. Furthermore, the characters N, R, and SP that are displayed superimposed on each area correspond to the dohazure, reach effect, and SP reach effect, respectively. Further, the symbol variation of the white characters on the black background indicates the symbol variation in which whether or not the reach effect is executed is adjusted based on the lottery result of the continuous effect lottery regardless of the lottery result of the sub lottery. In addition, only special figures with jackpot characters in the area correspond to jackpot winning, and special figures without jackpot characters are all lost.

  First, the effect pattern A in FIG. 9 shows a state where the continuous effect is not executed. At the time of (1) in the same pattern, except for the special figure that is changing in the design, the number of the first special figure is 3, and the number of the second special figure is 4. About the 1st special figure, reach period has already been specified like (2) in the same pattern as reach generation. Since the symbol variation period of the second special figure is fixed at 18 seconds in this example, the occurrence of reach is not specified for the second special figure, while the fluctuation period is already specified. In the second special figure, not only the fluctuation period but also the reach period is fixed at 8 seconds after the fluctuation starts, that is, 10 seconds as shown in (3) in the figure pattern.

  The effect pattern B is an effect when winning (determining) the big win and the command effect by the main lottery process corresponding to the first start winning at the time of (1) corresponding to the symbol variation of (4) in the pattern It is a pattern. In this effect pattern B, the second instruction is made so that the command is achieved by generating three simultaneous reaches until the jackpot symbol display in the symbol variation (4) in the pattern, which is the original variation that triggered the continuous performance. Special drawing effects have been adjusted. The variation period (2) and (4) in the same pattern in which the reach effect of the first special figure is executed is the effect reach period, and in the second special figure, in the same pattern overlapping with this effect reach period. The execution of reach production is adjusted for the symbol variations of (5) to (11). The display of the command is displayed at the time of the start of the symbol fluctuation of (2) or the start of the symbol fluctuation of (5) after the symbol fluctuation of (1) in the pattern ends.

  At the time of (1) in the production pattern B, only the second special figure of (7) corresponding to the maximum number of holdings of the second special figure is four. However, since the fluctuation period of the second special figure is fixed at 18 seconds, it is possible to expect the second special figure (8) to (10) by the time the symbol of the first special figure (4) is determined. It is. In effect pattern B, the second special figure in (10), which is the corresponding fluctuation (the last symbol fluctuation in which the reach period overlaps with the original fluctuation), executed when the symbol of the first special figure in (4) is determined is set as the reach effect. On the other hand, as a result of the reach lottery, simultaneous reach occurs in the second special drawings of (6) and (7). Therefore, the second special drawing of (8) and (9) is adjusted to the non-reach effect in order to achieve the command by the reach effect of (6), (7), and (10). In addition, when there is no start winning prize and the second special figure in which the symbol variation is interrupted (10) cannot be expected, the second special figure in (9) or (8) may be adjusted to reach production. In the case where the jackpot was not won in accordance with the start prize corresponding to the first special figure in (4) but the command effect was finalized, that is, the first special figure in (4) was original fluctuation but the big hit If it is not a win, the number of simultaneous reach occurrences may be set to 2 in the second special diagram of (5) to (11).

  The production pattern C is from the jackpot winning and the command production in the main lottery process corresponding to the second start winning at the time of (12) corresponding to the second special figure of (10) until the jackpot of (10) This is the production pattern. In the effect pattern C, the original fluctuation is the second special figure (10), and the corresponding fluctuation is the first special figure (4). In the effect pattern C, in the same manner as the effect pattern B described above, in order to achieve the command until the jackpot symbol display in the second special figure of (10), (7) to (9) after the time of (12). The production of the second special figure is adjusted.

  In this effect pattern C, unlike the effect pattern B described above, the second special figure of (10) is executed in the jackpot winning, so the second special figure of (7) to (9) is executed twice. It is adjusted so that simultaneous reach occurs. The effect pattern C illustrates the case where, as a result of the sub lottery, the second special figure in (7) becomes the reach effect, and the second special figure in (8) does not become the reach effect. Is adjusted so that the second special figure of (9) becomes the reach effect. By such adjustment, the command is achieved by simultaneous reach of (7), (9), and (10). In the effect pattern C, a command is displayed at the start of the fluctuation of the first special figure (4) or the second special figure (7) immediately after the point (12).

  The production pattern D is the first in (4) after the big win and the continuous production are determined in the main lottery process corresponding to the first start prize at the time (1) corresponding to the first special figure in (4). It is an effect pattern until the jackpot winning symbol is displayed by a special figure. In this effect pattern D, (7) to (10) are overlapped in the effect reach period of (4) such that three simultaneous continuous reach occurs until the jackpot symbol display in the first special figure of (4). The reach production of the second special figure is adjusted as follows.

  When the lottery result as described above is obtained according to the start winning of the first special figure at the time point (1) of the production pattern D, the time when the symbol of the first special figure (4) is determined can be specified. At this time, as in the case of the effect pattern B, only the symbol variation up to (7) is reserved at the time of (1). Since the symbol variation time of the second special figure is fixed at 18 seconds, the second special figure of (10) can be expected by the time the symbol of the first special figure of (4) is determined. If it is adjusted so that the reach effect is set after the second special figure of (8), which is the third calculated backward from the second special figure of (10), immediately before the symbol determination of the first special figure of (4) 3 continuous reach can be achieved. In this case, the second special figure in (7) should be adjusted to a non-reach effect so as not to achieve four consecutive simultaneous reach, but the second special figure in which the symbol variation is interrupted (10) is (4 If it is not in time to determine the symbol of the first special figure of (), it is preferable to set the reach effect on the second special figure of (7) in order to simultaneously reach (7) to (9). Note that the second special diagrams (5), (6), and (11) are irrelevant to the success or failure of the three consecutive simultaneous reach even if the reach effect is set. Therefore, for these second special drawings, the reach effect may be set according to the lottery result of the sub lottery.

  Lastly, the production pattern E is the (10) after the jackpot winning and the continuous production are confirmed in the main lottery process corresponding to the second start prize at the time of (12) corresponding to the second special drawing of (10). It is an effect pattern until the jackpot winning symbol is displayed in the second special diagram. In this effect pattern, as in the effect pattern D described above, the reach effects of the second special drawings (7) to (9) are adjusted. In this effect pattern E, since the reach effect is executed with the second special drawing of (10), the second special drawing of (8) and (9) is adjusted so that the reach effect is generated twice.

  In any case, in the production patterns B to E of this example, the simultaneous reach is limited to twice in the case of the big win. This is because the same effect is executed up to two simultaneous reach regardless of whether it is a big win or a loss. If simultaneous reach is generated in this way, it is not known whether or not the jackpot is won until the end, and the production effect is enhanced. Instead of this, it is also possible to set a continuous production so that the losing is confirmed at an early point and the expectation for the big hit is not high.

  Further, for example, in the production pattern D or the like, there is a possibility that the fluctuation period up to (4) or (10) in the same pattern may fluctuate depending on the hold status. Therefore, the second special figure of (7) to (10) may be adjusted at the time of starting the fluctuation of (10) when the time of symbol confirmation of (4) is decided. In addition, a plurality of cases are considered in consideration of the fluctuation of the fluctuation period at the time point (1), and adjustment may be made at the time point (1) if simultaneous reach can occur in any case. Further, for example, in the effect pattern D, since the first special figure in (13) is a non-reach effect, the second special figure in (11) is irrelevant to the success or failure of three consecutive simultaneous reach. If the first special figure in (13) is a reach effect, the second special figure in (11) will affect three consecutive simultaneous reach. In this case, the 3 consecutive simultaneous reach can be determined by the second special drawings (11), (7) and (8) including the second special drawing (11). Of course, the reach effect may be set also in the second special drawing of (9) and (10), and five continuous simultaneous reach may be used.

  A display example of the first special figure and the second special figure of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example configured as described above is shown in FIG. (A) in the figure shows a situation in which the first special figure and the second special figure are changing. On the second display screen 192, during normal fluctuations that are not reachable, only the right area and the left area are symbol fluctuations.

  FIG. 10B shows an example in which a notice display by the character 194 is performed together with a command display 193 at the time of start of fluctuation of the first special figure, and a reach occurs in the second special figure. When the same symbol stops on the right area and the left area of the second display screen 192, a reach occurs, and “Reach!” Is displayed in the production message, and the right area and the left area gradually become narrower. Is displayed (FIG. 10C).

  FIG. 10C is an example in the reach of the second special figure. The symbol variation is performed only in the central area in the second display screen 192. Note that the first display screen 191 exemplifies a situation in which the character 194 that has appeared in FIG. 5B passes because the first special figure has not reached reach. Furthermore, the first display screen 191 is a display example of the effect reach number (guideline for achieving the command) after the command is displayed. This production reach number is subtracted once every time simultaneous reach occurs.

  FIG. 10D is an illustration of a situation where both the first special figure and the second special figure are being reached. The first display screen 191 exemplifies SP reach where the character 194 appears. When the main lottery wins the reach drawing of the first special figure, when the SP reach lottery is lost, the reach effect is executed only for the symbols in which the character 194 does not appear. In addition, when the notice display is won but the SP reach is not won, the effect is that the character 194 passes as shown in (C). FIG. 10D illustrates a situation in which the achievement of the command is confirmed because the number of production reach reaches zero due to simultaneous reach occurrence. That is, it shows a situation in which the contents of the command display are executed, such as the reach in the special figure 2 (10) in the production patterns B and C of FIG.

  In FIG. 10E, after the illustration of FIG. 10D, the reach is lost in the second special figure and the normal symbol variation is started, while the jackpot winning symbol is displayed in the first special figure. This is an example of the situation where the jackpot winning was confirmed. In this example, a character 194 congratulating the display of the jackpot winning symbol on the first special figure is displayed.

  FIG. 10 (F) illustrates a situation in which, after the illustration of FIG. 10 (D), the reach is lost in the first special figure, while the jackpot winning symbol is displayed in the second special figure. While the character 194 indicates that the reach has been lost in the first special figure, the effect message in the second display screen 192 indicates that the second special figure has been a big hit. That is, as shown in the production pattern C in FIG. 9, the reach is not a big hit in the special figure (4), but the big win is shown in the special figure 2 (10).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example configured as described above, the symbol variation period (18 seconds) of the second special figure is constant regardless of whether or not the reach effect is executed. Therefore, even under the rule that prohibits the change of the symbol variation time, it is possible to adjust whether or not the reach effect is to be executed for the reserved second special figure. Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, the interest of the game can be effectively improved by utilizing the simultaneous progress of a plurality of symbol variations.

The following implementation targets can also be assumed.
In this example, all symbol variation periods are set to be the same in order to specify the corresponding variation in advance when the second special figure that becomes the corresponding variation is not put on hold. A set of Dohazure, Reach, and Jackpot, with multiple sets (for example, 15-second set, 18-second set, 30-second set, etc.) with the same symbol variation period set, and select any set Alternatively, a configuration to be executed may be adopted. At this time, it is also possible to determine which group is executed according to the number of holds.

  In this example, only the second special figure is set as an object for setting the same symbol variation period for de-haze, reach, and jackpot. Instead of this, both the first special figure and the second special figure may be targeted. In addition, for the first special figure and the second special figure, the same symbol variation period can be set, while different symbol variation periods can be set for the first special diagram and the second special diagram. In addition, only the period in which the reach is executed is shown as the production reach period corresponding to the production target period. However, when the symbol change itself in which the reach is executed is performed at the same time, it is considered that the simultaneous reach is performed, and the reach is performed. The entire symbol variation including the period in which no is executed may be specified as the production target period.

  With regard to the second special figure, the symbol fluctuation period (for example, 2 minutes, etc.) that is different from others in the symbol fluctuation that becomes an exception (for example, the symbol fluctuation that is a big hit or the symbol fluctuation that is not a big hit but has a high expected value of the big hit) .) May be set. In this case, it is possible to produce a high jackpot expectation value due to the different symbol variation periods. In addition, it is preferable not to execute the symbol variation as an exception when the execution of the continuous effect is specified.

In this example, the sub lottery by the sub control circuit 43 is executed at the start of symbol variation, but instead, the sub lottery by the sub control circuit 43 may be executed at the time of starting winning. In this case, the lottery result may be rewritten by the adjustment process.
In this example, a new continuous production is not generated during the continuous production, but a new continuous production is generated during the continuous production, such as duplicating the continuous production or prioritizing the continuous production that is a big hit. It is also possible to let them.

In this example, the adjustment process is performed at the time of start winning in the regular production, and the adjustment process is performed at the start of variation in the command production. The time point when the adjustment process is performed may be any time point.
As for the command effect, any content such as five simultaneous reach and two continuous simultaneous reach may be used as the command. Furthermore, although the continuous production period is set to the original fluctuation, it may be limited by the time from the other symbol fluctuation or command display. Similarly, any condition may be adopted as the content of the production, such as a continuous production, a reach of the second special figure more than twice with four consecutive reach or a single first special figure variation. . That is, all the numerical values, items, etc. in the embodiments are examples, and any numerical values, items, etc. may be adopted.

  Although multiple simultaneous reaches are targeted for production, the number of times is not limited. For example, the setting may be such that if the simultaneous reach occurs even once, the expectation level for jackpot is high. In this case, if a reach win is made in the first special figure in order to preferentially execute the reach lottery result of the first special figure with different degrees of freedom of the reach and dohazure and the second special figure that is pending It is possible to assume a configuration in which the figure is used as a dohazure to prevent simultaneous reach and reach in the second special figure in order to make simultaneous reach in the case of a big win as in this example.

Until the original variation is executed for the continuous production, for example, when the continuous production is performed in the start winning prize of the second special figure in a state where all the suspension of the first special figure is not reached, until the original fluctuation If simultaneous reach cannot be generated, the production period may be extended until after the execution of the original variation. Of course, you may produce in other cases.
As the symbol variation, in addition to the liquid crystal display, any display mode such as a so-called reel display may be adopted.
Of course, for example, a so-called enclosed pachinko gaming machine or the like may be used in addition to the examples. Further, in consideration of this enclosing formula, the game medium can be expressed as a game value as necessary.
