Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a jackpot game is generated that is advantageous to a player who is allowed to win a game ball in a special winning opening when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in a symbol variation game. .

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a type of gaming machine, a big hit lottery is performed to determine whether or not it is a big hit when a game ball enters a start winning opening arranged on the game board. The lottery result of the big hit lottery can be recognized from the symbol combination derived from the symbol combination game by displaying the symbol combination game on a display device (for example, a liquid crystal display device) arranged on the game board. It has become. And, when the big hit lottery is won, after the big hit symbol is derived in the symbol combination game, the big hit game is given. In the big hit game, the game ball is allowed to enter by opening the big prize opening (special prize opening) arranged on the game board, so that the player can have a chance to win a lot of prize balls in a short time. .

  The big hit game is usually constituted by a plurality of round games in which the winning prize opening is opened and then closed when a predetermined condition is established. As the predetermined condition, the number of game balls that have entered the special winning opening when the elapsed time from the opening of the special winning opening reaches a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) and during one round game is as follows. Generally, a predetermined number (for example, nine balls) is reached. For this reason, the player repeats a monotonous game of digesting a plurality of round games while obtaining a lot of chances for winning a prize ball by being awarded a big hit game.

  Therefore, conventionally, a pachinko gaming machine in which a big hit game is changed has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, after fixing the number of round games constituting the jackpot game, the first opening control with a long upper time limit for continuously opening the big winning opening and the upper time limit for continuously opening the big winning opening In combination with the short second opening control, the number of prize balls to be acquired by the player in the big hit game is changed by changing the number of substantial round games. In Patent Document 1, diversification of the big hit game is achieved by changing the round in which the first release control and the second release control are executed after further fixing the number of substantial round games. .

JP 2011-255092 A

  However, in such a pachinko machine, although the jackpot game is diversified, the player is mainly interested in how many times the first opening control with a long upper limit for continuously opening the big prize opening is performed. There is a possibility that the interest of the game will be reduced by performing the second opening control in which the upper limit time for continuously opening the special winning opening is short.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide an interest in the game by giving further attention to the execution mode of the special prize opening. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the performance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 displays a first symbol variation game performed by varying the first symbol, and a second symbol variation game performed by varying the second symbol. Display means for displaying, and when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game, the special prize opening is opened and the special prize opening is opened. Whether or not the special winning opening control means for controlling the special winning opening and the first symbol variation game are big hits in a gaming machine in which a big hit game advantageous to a player allowed to win a game ball is generated And a jackpot determining means for determining whether or not the second symbol variation game is a jackpot, and a jackpot type determining means for determining a jackpot type if the determination result of the jackpot determining means is affirmative A gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state, and the gaming state control means is provided with the first jackpot game in the first symbol variation game based on the determination result by the jackpot type determination means. And when the second jackpot game is awarded, control is performed to vary the degree of advantage of the game state after the jackpot game ends, and when the jackpot display result is displayed in the second symbol variation game, Depending on the determination result of the jackpot type determining means, control is performed to vary the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the jackpot game ends, and the special winning opening control means displays the jackpot display result in the first symbol variation game. The first opening control for opening the special prize opening with the first time as an upper limit, and the second time shorter than the first time as an upper limit. In the first big hit game, while performing the first release control and the second release control, while in the second big hit game, When the first release control is performed in the same execution mode and the second release control is performed in a different execution mode as compared to the first jackpot game, and the jackpot display result is displayed in the second symbol variation game The specific opening is different from the case where the jackpot display result is displayed in the first symbol variation game, and the special winning opening is opened corresponding to the type of jackpot determined by the jackpot type determining means. In the first big hit game, after the second release control is performed for the first number of releases, the first release control is performed for the predetermined number of times to release the second big hit game. In the above, when the second release control is performed a second number of times less than the first number of releases, the first release control is performed the specified number of times of release, and the first big hit game is given, The time until the opening of the special winning opening is started by the second opening control after the jackpot display result is displayed in the first symbol variation game is shorter than when the second jackpot game is awarded. Thus, the gist is to control the upper limit time of the first big hit game and the upper limit time of the second big hit game in the same manner.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving further attention to the execution mode of the special prize opening.

Various display effects are displayed as images. Note that the variation game of the effect display device 11 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols, hereinafter referred to as “decorative symbols”) for diversifying display effects.

  In addition, a 7-segment type first special symbol display device 12a is provided at the lower left of the effect display device 11, and a 7-segment type second special symbol display device 12b is provided at the right side of the first special symbol display device 12a. It is arranged. In the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b, a variable game is displayed in which a special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special symbol") is displayed in a variable manner. The special figure is a notification pattern showing the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) for whether or not the big hit, and the result of the internal lottery (small hit lottery) for whether or not the small hit. In the present embodiment, the variable game is executed once on each display device 12a, 12b from when the special figure variable display is started until the fixed stop display is displayed. Hereinafter, the variation game performed on the first special symbol display device 12a may be referred to as “first variation game (first symbol variation game)”, and the variation game performed on the second special symbol display device 12b is referred to as “second”. "Change game (2nd symbol change game)".

  In this embodiment, each display device 12a, 12b has one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery or the lottery result of the small hit lottery from among a plurality of special figures (in this embodiment, 128 types). Is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the variable game. The 128 types of special charts are 100 kinds of big hit symbols (big hit display results) that can recognize big hits, one kind of small hit symbols (small hit display results) that can be used to recognize small hits, It is classified into 27 types of out-of-order symbols (out-of-range display results) that are symbols that can recognize the out-of-range. Further, when the big hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, the big hit game is given to the player. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a small hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays eight types of numbers [1] to [8] as decorative drawings for each of a plurality of symbol rows. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is configured with a larger display area than the display devices 12a and 12b, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. Yes. For this reason, the player can recognize a hit (big hit and small hit) or a deviation from the symbols displayed on the effect display device 11 in a fixed stop display.

The fixed stop is displayed. In addition, even when a big hit symbol that can recognize a big hit (a big hit display result) is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b in a definite stop display, the probable change suggestive symbol (probable change suggestion) is displayed. Display result) may be displayed as a fixed stop. Note that this probability variation suggestion symbol is a probability variation state (hereinafter, “1” / 65536 in the present embodiment) that changes the winning probability of jackpot from a low probability state (in the present embodiment, 208/65536) to a high probability state (in the present embodiment, 1640/65536). It is a symbol that suggests the possibility of being given a “probable change state”. In the present embodiment, as the probability change suggestion symbol by the decorative drawing, a predetermined symbol combination corresponds to a symbol combination in which symbols in all the columns are different (in this embodiment, [123] or the like).

  Further, in the effect display device 11, the variable display of symbols stops in the order of left column → right column → middle column as viewed from the player side, and two specific columns (two columns on the left and right in this embodiment) are displayed. ), The reach state is formed when the same symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. Here, the temporary stop display is a state in which the image display unit GH is displayed in a fluctuation state, and is distinguished from a fixed stop display in which the symbol is fixed and stopped in the image display unit GH. In this embodiment, among the plurality of symbol columns, the left column is the first stop column, the right column is the second stop column, the middle column is the third stop column (final stop column), and the left column and the right column are in the reach state. This is the reach formation row to be formed.

  On the upper left of the first special symbol display device 12a, a first special symbol hold display device 13a having a plurality of (two in this embodiment) first special symbol hold light emitting units is disposed.

Is arranged.

  This jackpot game is won by a jackpot lottery, and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and stopped in the first variation game of the first special symbol display device 12a or the second variation game of the second special symbol display device 12b. It starts after the end. When the jackpot game is started, as a general rule, an opening effect indicating the start of the jackpot game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which each of the special winning openings 18, 22 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined number of rounds. One round game is performed until the opening and closing of each of the big winning openings 18 and 22 is performed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once), and is defined in each of the big winning openings 18 and 22 during one round game. The game is released until the number of game balls (winning upper limit number) wins or until the specified time (round game time) elapses. In the round game, a round effect is performed. When the predetermined number of round games are finished, as a rule, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is finished. In the present embodiment, depending on the type of jackpot that has been won, there are cases where the time during which the opening effect or the ending effect is executed during the jackpot game is not defined.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a probable change state that is advantageous to the player may be given after the big hit game is over. The probability variation state is given on condition that the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol) displayed in a fixed stop state is a predetermined probability variation symbol. In this probability variation state, after the jackpot game ends, the winning probability of the jackpot changes from a low probability state (208/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability state (1640/65536 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  In addition, the probability variation state is given when the probability variation big hit is reached until the next big hit is generated after the big hit game ends (shown as “until next time”). In this way, the probability variation state is advantageous for the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with a high probability and the jackpot is likely to be generated, and the player plays the game while expecting to become a probability variation jackpot. Is going.

  In addition, after the big hit game is over, a variation shortened state (hereinafter referred to as “variable state”) may be given. In this variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened (may be shortened) as compared to the non-variable state to which the variable state is not given. In some cases, the variation time of the variation game to be played is shortened. In the variable state, the variation time of the usual game for deriving the lottery result indicating whether or not to open / close the door 16 is shortened compared to the non-variable state. Further, in the variable state, the winning probability per ordinary game of the usual game varies from a low probability state (1/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability state (65535/65536 in the present embodiment). In the variable state, the open / close door 16 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the non-variable state when the normal winning lottery is won. In the present embodiment, when the normal winning lottery is won in the non-changeable state, the open / close door 16 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 200 ms elapses after opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal winning lottery in the variable state, the open / close door 16 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 5496 ms elapses after opening. In other words, the open / close door 16 is set to operate in an advantageous manner for the player in the variable state when the total open time corresponding to one normal hit is longer than in the non-variable state. For this reason, the variable state is a state in which the entrance / exit door 16 is easily moved to the open state, and the second variable game tends to be executed more easily than the first variable game.

  Note that the door 16 is opened when a normal hit is reached, but the door 16 is closed when a maximum number of winning balls (for example, 10 balls) has been won even before closing. It has become. In addition, the variable state is a period until a variable game is performed a predetermined number of times (9, 18, and 100 times in the present embodiment) according to the type of jackpot game and the game state at the time of winning. Or it may be given until the next time.

  Moreover, when the variable state is given in this way, the opening / closing door 16 is easily opened. For this reason, although it is difficult for the game ball to win the first start winning opening 14, it is more advantageous for the player to fire the game ball so that the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10 (so-called “right-handed”). The gaming state. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, the opening / closing door 16 is difficult to open. For this reason, it is advantageous for the player to fire the game ball so that the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10 (so-called “left-handed”) so that the game ball wins the first start winning opening 14. The gaming state.

  During the big hit game in the first variation game, when the first big prize opening 18 is opened, the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10 in order to make it easy to win the first big prize opening 18. It is advantageous for the player to fire the game ball in such a manner (so-called “left-handed”). On the other hand, during the big hit game in the second variation game, in order to make it easy to win the second big prize opening 22, the game ball is fired so as to roll from the right side of the game board 10 (so-called “Right-handed”) is more advantageous for the player.

Not specified.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening time is not defined in the 10-time short-open real 5R big hit game (shown as “0s” in the figure). In addition, “0.04 (seconds)” is the maximum time for the first to tenth round games in the 10th short-open real 5R big hit game, and “25 ( “Second)” is set to “1.5 (seconds)” as an interval time between rounds (interval between rounds). In addition, the maximum time of the first round game from the first round to the tenth round is shorter than the maximum round game time from the 11th round to the 15th round, and the total opening time of the first grand prize opening 18 is short. The opening time is less than one tenth of the launch interval (0.6 s) of one game ball, and it is extremely difficult to win a prize. For this reason, the first to tenth round games in the 10-time short open substantial 5R big hit game are round games in which no prize ball is practically performed.

  In addition, in the 5 short open real 5R big hit game, “7.7 s” is defined as the opening time. In addition, “0.04 (seconds)” is the maximum time for the first to fifth round games in the 5th short-open real 5R big hit game, and “25 ( “Second)” is set to “1.5 (seconds)” as an interval time between rounds (interval between rounds). In addition, the maximum time of the first round game from the first round to the fifth round is shorter than the maximum round game time from the sixth round to the tenth round, and the total opening time of the first grand prize opening 18 is short. The opening time is less than one tenth of the launch interval (0.6 s) of one game ball, and it is extremely difficult to win a prize. For this reason, the round game from the first to the fifth round in the 5 short short real 5R big hit game is a round game in which no prize ball is practically performed.

  Also, in the 0 short short real 5R jackpot game, the opening time is “15.4 s”, the maximum time of each round game is “25 s”, and the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) is “1.5 s”. "Is set for each.

  In addition, in the real 5R big hit game, as the ending time, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit is the non-variable state, “10 s” is defined, while in the short state, Not defined (shown as “0s” in the figure).

  In the shortened 5R jackpot game, the opening time is “4.3 s”, the maximum time of each round game is “0.04 s”, and the interval time between each round (interval between rounds) is “1.5 s”. “0s” is set for each time. This shortened 5R jackpot game is the sum of the opening time “4.3 s”, the opening time “0.04”, and the interval time “1.5 s”, which is a total of “12 s”. This shortened 5R jackpot game has the same prescribed number of rounds ("5 times") as compared to the 5R jackpot game, but the total opening time of the first big winning opening 18 is short and the opening in one round game The time is less than one tenth of the launch interval (0.6 s) of one game ball, which is a big hit game that is extremely difficult to win and does not actually play a prize ball.

In addition, in the 15R jackpot game, the 10R jackpot game, and the 5R jackpot game, the opening time and the ending time are not defined (shown as “0s” in the figure).
Although not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in these jackpot games, “one time” is defined as the number of times each of the big winning openings 18 and 22 is opened in each round game. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, in the big hit game in the first variation game, “8 balls” is shown as the upper limit number of winnings (first winning upper limit number, second winning upper limit number) of one round game in FIG. As shown, in the jackpot game in the second variation game, “9 balls” is set as the upper limit number of winnings (specific winning upper limit number) for one round game. Thus, although the first variation game and the second variation game have different winning upper limit numbers, the same number of winning upper limit numbers is defined for each varying game.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the big hit symbol classified into symbols A to J is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the big hit symbol classified into symbols a to c is displayed. When the fixed stop display is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b, the probable change state is given until the next time regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, when the big hit symbol classified into symbols K to P is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the big hit symbol classified into symbols d to f is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b. When the fixed stop display is displayed, after the jackpot game is over, the certainty change state is not given regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery.

  In addition, after the jackpot game is over, a variable state may be given. In particular, when a variable state is given, depending on the type of big hit game and the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery (whether it is a promiscuous state, a variable state or not), until next time or in advance The variable state is given with the upper limit number of times until the predetermined number of variable games is completed. Hereinafter, the upper limit number of times that the variable state is continued is referred to as “variable number of times”, and when the variable state is not given, the upper limit number of times that the variable state is continued is “0” (also in FIG. 2, “ 0 times)).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the third 10th short-opening probability variation big hit (symbol C), the third 5th short-opening probability variation big hit (symbol F), and the third 0th short-opening probability variation big hit. When (symbol I) is won, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game is over, the variable state is given until the next time.

In this case, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a variable state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable variable state, the variable state will be given until the next time after the big hit game ends. ing. On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is the non-variable short state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of variable games are ended. Up to the maximum number of times (9 times in the present embodiment), the variable state is given.

  The case where the first 5th short open non-probable big hit (symbol M) and the first 0th short open non-probable big hit (symbol O) are won will be described below. In this case, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is in a variable state, regardless of whether or not it is in a probable change state, until the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of fluctuating games are ended. Is the upper limit number of times (100 times in the present embodiment), and the variable state is given. On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is the non-variable short state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of variable games are ended. Up to the maximum number of times (9 times in the present embodiment), the variable state is given.

  The case where the second 10th short open probability change big hit (symbol B), the second 5th short open probability change big hit (symbol E), and the second 0th short open probability change big hit (symbol H) will be described below. . In this case, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a variable state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable variable state, the variable state will be given until the next time after the big hit game ends. ing. On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is the non-variable short state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of variable games are ended. Up to the upper limit number of times (18 times in the present embodiment), the variable state is given.

  About winning the second 10th short-open non-probable big hit (symbol L), second 5th short-open non-probable big hit (symbol N), and second 0th short-open non-probable big hit (symbol P) This will be described below. In this case, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is in a variable state, regardless of whether or not it is in a probable change state, until the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of fluctuating games are ended. Is the upper limit number of times (100 times in the present embodiment), and the variable state is given. On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is the non-variable short state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of variable games are ended. Up to the upper limit number of times (18 times in the present embodiment), the variable state is given.

  In addition, when winning a shortened 5R probability variable big win (symbol J), if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a variable shortage state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, The variable state is given until. On the other hand, when winning a shortened probability variation jackpot, if the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is a non-variable state, regardless of whether or not it is a certain variation state, Is not granted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when winning 15R probability variation jackpot (symbol a), 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol b), and 5R probability variation jackpot (symbol c), regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, After the end of, the variable state is given until the next time.

  If 15R non-probable big hit (symbol d), 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol e), and 5R non-probable big hit (symbol f) are won, regardless of the gaming status at the time of winning the big hit lottery, The variable state is given by setting the upper limit number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) until the predetermined number of variable games are completed.

  In addition, in the small hit game that is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol Q is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a to be confirmed and stopped, “10.46 s” as the opening time is set to “0 s” as the ending time. "Is set for each. In addition, in the small hit game, “8 balls” is set as the upper limit number of counts (count), “1” is set as the number of times the first large winning opening 18 is opened, and “0.04 s” is set as the opening time of one time. After the opening, “1.5 s” is set as the interval time. Thereby, the small hit game has the same opening time as the round game in the shortened 5R big hit game. The small hit game is “12s”, which is the sum of the opening time “10.46s”, the opening time “0.04”, and the interval time “1.5s”, which is the same time as the shortened 5R big hit game. Become.

  In addition, after the small hitting game is over, the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery is continued. That is, after the end of the small hit game, the probability variation state is continued if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, while the non-probability variation state is continued if the probability variation state is not imparted. Further, after the small hit game is completed, the variable state is continued if the variable state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, while the non-variable state is continued if the variable state is not given.

  In this way, the jackpot game in the second variation game is the first variation game in consideration of the allocation number of the jackpot symbol, the specified number of round games, the maximum number of winnings of one round game, and the number of times of variation. This is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the big hit game in In addition, the opening and ending times are not set for the big hit game in the second floating game, and each of the big winning holes 18, The time until 22 is opened, and the time until the next variable game is started after each of the special winning openings 18 and 22 is closed are specified to be short.

  Further, when comparing the big hit in the first variation game with the big hit in the second variation game, the game state after the end of the big hit game is different in the first variation game according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit. On the other hand, in the second variation game, the game state after the end of the jackpot game is set in the same transition mode regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine is disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. The main control board 30 as main control means executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results. In addition, an overall control board 31 and a display control board 32 are disposed on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 as the effect control means controls the display control board 32 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 as an effect control means is based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 (display pattern, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). Control the display image etc.).

Here, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described below.
First, the main control board 30 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a for executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b for storing a main control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control capable of writing and reading necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected so that various switches SW1 to SW5 can detect and output detection signals from the game balls. The main control CPU 30a includes a first special symbol display device 12a, a second special symbol display device 12b, a first special symbol hold display device 13a, a second special symbol hold display device 13b, a normal symbol display device 20, The electric accessory solenoid SOL1, the first big prize opening solenoid SOL2, and the second big prize opening solenoid SOL3 are connected.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a executes a random number update process (random number generation process) for updating various random number values such as a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, and a reach determination random number every predetermined cycle. To do. The winning determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used in determining a special figure that becomes a big hit symbol. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) to determine whether or not to form a reach in the case of not winning the big win in the big win lottery. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a normal hit determination random number used for determining whether or not the normal game is a normal win.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (such as a big hit determination value and a reach determination value). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values (all 65536 integers from 0 to 65535) that the hit determination random number can take. In this embodiment, 208 values are set as the jackpot determination value in the non-probable change state, and the probability of winning in the jackpot lottery is 208/65536. On the other hand, in the probability change state, 1640 values are determined as the jackpot determination value. Is set, and the probability of winning in the big hit lottery is 1640/65536. The reach determination value is a determination value used in internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not a reach (reach state) is to be formed when determining a loss, and is a numerical value (0 to 238) that can be taken by a random number for reach determination. Up to 239 integers).

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that is a base of the production (game production) from the start of the variation game to the end of the variation game, and includes the variation content (production content) and the variation time (production time) of the variation game. Can be specified (specified). In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of variation patterns can be classified into a variation pattern for big hit variation, a variation pattern for probability variation suggestion variation, a variation pattern for outlier reach variation, and a variation pattern for outlier variation. The jackpot variation is a variation that is performed when it is determined that a jackpot game other than the shortened 5R jackpot game is awarded. In the effect display device 11, after the reach effect, the varying game finally stops the jackpot symbol. An effect that is expanded so as to be displayed is executed. The probability variation suggestion variation is a variation that is performed when it is determined that a shortened 5R big hit game or a small hit game is awarded. In the effect display device 11, after the reach effect, the variable game is finally a big hit symbol or small An effect that is developed so that the winning symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state is executed. The loss reach variation is a variation performed when it is determined that the big hit game and the small hit game are not given, and in the effect display device 11, the variable game is finally stopped and the symbols are stopped and displayed through the reach effect. An effect that is developed in this way is executed. The deviation variation is a variation performed when it is determined that the big hit game and the small hit game are not given, and the effect display device 11 does not go through the reach effect, and the variable game finally displays the stop symbol in a fixed stop state. An effect that is developed so as to be performed is executed. The variation pattern is defined so that the variation pattern in the first variation game and the variation pattern in the second variation game can be specified.

  In the present embodiment, on the condition that the game state at the time of winning is the same, when the big hit game excluding the shortened 5R big hit game is determined, the same big hit variation pattern is determined. Therefore, it is impossible to specify which of the big hit games excluding the shortened 5R big hit game is given from the contents of the effect of the variable game. In the present embodiment, a different big hit variation pattern may be determined depending on whether or not the current gaming state has a variable state. Further, in the present embodiment, when the shortened 5R big hit game or the small hit game is determined, the same variation pattern for the probability change suggestion change is determined. Therefore, it is impossible to specify which of the shortened 5R big hit game and the small hit game is given from the contents of the effect of the variable game.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 has an overall control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 31b that stores an overall control program for the overall control CPU 31a, and overall control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The general control RAM 31c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. A display control board 32 is connected to the overall control CPU 31a. When receiving various control commands, the overall control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 has a display control CPU 32a for executing a display control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 32b for storing a display control program of the display control CPU 32a, and a display capable of writing and reading necessary data. A control RAM 32c is provided. The display control ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters and characters). The display control RAM 32c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the display operation of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the effect display device 11 is connected to the display control CPU 32a. When various control commands are input, the display control CPU 32a executes various controls based on the display control program.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described below. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment). In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes various processes described below functions as a random number acquisition unit, a jackpot determination unit, a jackpot type determination unit, a game state control unit, and a special prize opening control unit.

First, the special symbol input process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start winning opening 14 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start opening switch SW1. When the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the first reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the first reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the first reserved memory number (added “1”) controls the display content of the first special symbol hold display device 13a so as to display the updated first updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains various random number values (such as the hit determination random number value in the present embodiment) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the values from the main control corresponding to the first reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the game ball does not win the first start winning opening 14, or when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 14, but the first reserved memory number is not less than "4", the main control CPU 30a Based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start opening switch SW2, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the second start winning opening 15. When this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the second reserved memory number is not less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the second reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the second reserved memory number ("1" added) controls the display content of the second special symbol hold display device 13b so as to display the updated second updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires various random number values (in this embodiment, such as a hit determination random number value) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the value from the main control corresponding to the second reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines an execution condition as to whether or not a variable game is being executed or a big hit game is being executed. If this determination result is affirmative (during a variable game or a big hit game), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if this determination result is negative (not in a variable game and not in a big hit game), the main control CPU 30a has the second reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c “0”. The second hold determination process for determining whether or not the value is larger than the threshold value is executed. When the second reserved memory number is “1” or more, the second reserved symbol number is subtracted by “1”, and the second special symbol hold display device 13b is displayed so as to display the updated (after subtraction) second reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a second jackpot determination process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c is larger than “0”. The first hold determination process is executed. When the first reserved memory number is “1” or more, the first special symbol hold display device 13a displays the first reserved memory number after the update (after subtraction) by subtracting “1” from the first reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a first big hit determination process.

  As described above, when both the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are “1” or more, the main control CPU 30a plays the second variation game by giving priority to the second big hit determination process. It will be executed preferentially.

  In the first big hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the first reserved storage number with the jackpot determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning probability of winning for the variable games (the first variable game and the second variable game) in the low probability state in the non-probable change state (208/65536 in the present embodiment). In the probability variation state, the big hit determination is performed in a high probability state (1640/65536 in this embodiment).

  If the determination result of this big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the big hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a big hit, and the first big hit for executing the variable game that is a big hit Perform time variation processing. In the first big hit time variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special figure distribution random number associated with the first reserved storage number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a, and the jackpot type corresponding to the jackpot symbol is determined. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined jackpot symbol, reads the value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot game based on the value. To do. Specifically, when the type of jackpot game is identified as a big hit game other than the shortened 5R big hit game, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the big hit fluctuation patterns. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a specifies that the game is a shortened 5R big hit game, it selects and determines one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. In the first floating game, 15R jackpot, 10R jackpot, and 5R jackpot are not won, and no 15R jackpot game, 10R jackpot game, and 5R jackpot game are awarded. The main control CPU 30a also determines the variation pattern based on whether or not various conditions are satisfied in the following various variation processes. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination with the small hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. . In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a sets the small hit probability of the first variable game at a predetermined probability (280/65536 in the present embodiment) regardless of whether or not it is in a probable variation state. On the other hand, in the second variation game, the small hit determination is not won in the second variation game regardless of whether or not the probability variation state.

  If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the small hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a small hit, reads the value from the probability change flag and the operation flag, Based on this value, a first small hit variation process is executed to execute a small hit game. In the first small hit time variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the first reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the special figure distribution random number value. Then, a small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a specifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a value corresponding to the big hit or the small hit. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value associated with the first reserved storage number, compares the reach determination random number value with the reach determination value, and determines whether the two values match. Make a reach determination. As the reach determination value, a different value is mainly determined depending on whether or not a probability variation state or a variation state is given, the number of reserved memories after subtraction, etc. The probability of determining may be different.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a first reach variation process for executing a variable game that causes a variation in reach reach. In the first reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, reads a value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and based on the value , One of the fluctuation patterns for fluctuation of the outlier reach is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not win the reach determination, and therefore executes the first shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the first deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a with a fixed stop. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads values from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and selects and determines one of the variation patterns for deviation variation based on the values. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, in the second big hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the second reserved storage number with the jackpot determination value, and determines whether or not both values match.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets "1" to the big hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a big hit, and the second big hit for executing the variable game that is a big hit Perform time variation processing. In the second big hit time fluctuation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special figure distribution random number associated with the second reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, The big hit symbol is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined jackpot symbol, reads the value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot game based on the value. To do. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a specifies that the type of jackpot game is 15R jackpot game, 10R jackpot game, or 5R jackpot game, and selects and determines any of the variation patterns for jackpot variation To do. In the second variation game, the real 5R big hit is not won and the real 5R big hit game is not awarded. Further, in the second variation game, the shortened 5R big hit game and the small hit game are not won, so in this process, the main control CPU 30a does not select any one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a identifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a value corresponding to the big hit or the small hit. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value associated with the second reserved storage number, compares the reach determination random number value with the reach determination value, and determines whether the two values match. Make a reach determination.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a second reach variation process for executing a variable game that results in a loss reach fluctuation. In the second reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b, reads a value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and based on the value , One of the fluctuation patterns for fluctuation of the outlier reach is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a has not won the reach determination, and therefore executes the second shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the second deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special figure to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads values from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and selects and determines one of the variation patterns for deviation variation based on the values. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a sends a control command generated according to the determined items determined in the special symbol start process to the general control board 31 (general control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Output. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the variation game at the start of the variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command for designating a special figure, after outputting the variation pattern designation command. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs a total symbol stop command to the overall control board 31 when displaying the special symbol fixed stop.

  As described above, when the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit, after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol, A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the 31 central control CPU 31a. As a rule, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command when the variable game is completed. The main control CPU 30a outputs a round command every time a round starts. Further, when the round game of the last round is completed, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command as a rule after the lapse of the interval time. Then, after the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the jackpot flag to “0” and ends the jackpot game. When the main control CPU 30a is won, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening signal when opening each of the large winning ports 18, 22, and outputs a closing signal when closing each of the large winning ports 18, 22. To do. As described above, when the main control CPU 30a is won, the main control CPU 30a performs control so as to open and close each of the large winning openings 18, 22. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command when it is selected as one of the substantial 5R big hit, the shortened 5R big hit, and the small hit, but the 15R big hit, 10R big hit, and 5R When winning one of the big wins, no opening command is output. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command when winning a substantial 5R jackpot in an unchangeable state, but outputs an ending command when winning another jackpot. do not do.

The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state related to the probability changing state and the variable state by controlling the probability changing flag, the operating flag, or the number of operations.
Specifically, the main control CPU 30a clears the probability variation flag, the operation flag, and the number of operations (sets “0”) at the start of the big hit game, regardless of the type of the big hit game. This number of operations is a counter for counting the number of times that the variable state is given.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag when the probability variation state is to be imparted after the big hit game is finished, and sets “0” to the probability variation flag when the probability variation state is not imparted. Set.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is to be given, and does not give the variable state, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game. In this case, “0” is set in the operation flag. Then, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a variable length designation command corresponding to the operation flag to the overall control board 31. The change designation command is a command indicating whether or not a change state is given.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a operates a value indicating the number of times when a variable state is given with a predetermined number of times (9, 18, or 100 in this embodiment) as the upper limit number of times. The number of times is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” for the number of operations for each variable game (at the end of the variable game), and when the value becomes “0”, clears the operation flag (sets “0”), A change end command is output to the overall control board 31. This change end command is a command indicating that the change state has ended. Further, when the variable state is given until the next big hit game occurs, the main control CPU 30a sets data indicating that in the main control RAM 30c.

Next, the normal symbol input process related to the ordinary game will be described below.
In the normal symbol input process, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the game ball has passed through the operation gate 19, the number of the common figure reserved storage stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit “4”. It is determined whether or not. If the determination result is affirmative (the number of reserved general memory <4), the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the number of general reserved memory, and rewrites the number of general reserved memory. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains the value of the random number for determining normal hits from the main control RAM 30c, and stores the value in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the general-purpose reserved memory number. Set the normal symbol input process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a executes the following processing every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment). First, the main control CPU 30a sets the number of the general-purpose reserved memory number to “1” when the read general-purpose reserved memory number is larger than “0” in the case where the normal figure is not being displayed in a variable display or a normal hit game. ”Is subtracted, and the value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c is obtained in association with the number of reserved ordinary maps. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the acquired normal hit determination random number matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, performs normal hit determination, and determines the determination result. The corresponding general symbol is determined as the final stop symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 20 with a fixed stop. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes related to the normal game, such as controlling the display contents of the normal symbol display device 20 so as to start the normal variable display.

  Then, when determining the normal hit, the main control CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the usual game ends. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 so as to open the opening / closing door 16 in an opening manner that differs depending on whether or not a variable state is given when the normal game is started.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a has a normal probability of winning a normal game in a low probability state (1/65536 in the present embodiment) in the non-variable state and a high probability in the short state. The normal hit determination is performed in the state (in this embodiment, 65535/65536). Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern of the usual game according to whether or not the variable state is given. As a result, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the variation time of the normal game is shortened in the variable state in the variable state, and the total open time corresponding to one normal hit is released longer. Control.

Next, the contents of control executed by the overall control CPU 31a to execute a variable game including various effects will be described below.
When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall control CPU 31a performs control according to the input control command based on the overall control program. Specifically, the central control CPU 31 a outputs the variation pattern designation command to the display control board 32 when the variation pattern designation command is input.

  In addition, when the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the display control board 32 in principle. In the present embodiment, the opening command or the ending command may not be input depending on the type of win and the gaming state at the time of winning. Further, in this embodiment, when the overall control CPU 31a wins 10 short open big hits in the non-changeable state, even if the 1st to 10th round commands are input, the overall control CPU 31a does not output the round commands. That is, the overall control CPU 31a outputs a round command corresponding to the start of the 11th to 15th round games without outputting a round command corresponding to the start of the 1st to 10th round games. Further, in the present embodiment, when the overall control CPU 31a wins the 5th short open big hit in an unchangeable state, even if the 1st to 5th round commands are input, the overall control CPU 31a does not output the round commands. That is, the overall control CPU 31a outputs a round command corresponding to the start of the sixth to tenth round games without outputting a round command corresponding to the start of the first to fifth round games.

  When the central control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special figure designation command, the overall control CPU 31a produces an effect based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special figure designation command. A decoration to be displayed on the display device 11 is determined.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 31a determines that the decoration chart is a jackpot symbol [111] [222] [333] in the case of a jackpot symbol to which a substantial 5R jackpot game, 15R jackpot game, 10R jackpot game, or 5R jackpot game is given. [444] [555] [666] [777] [888]. Thus, in this embodiment, when a substantial 5R jackpot game, 15R jackpot game, 10R jackpot game, or 5R jackpot game is determined, one of the jackpot symbols is determined, so the types of symbols are the same. . For this reason, it is impossible to specify which of the 5R jackpot game, the 15R jackpot game, the 10R jackpot game, and the 5R jackpot game is given from the symbol.

  Further, the overall control CPU 31a determines a decorative drawing from among the probable change suggestion symbols in the case of a big hit symbol to which a shortened 5R big hit game or a small hit game is given. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the shortened 5R big hit game or the small hit game is determined, one of them is determined from the probability variation suggestion symbols, so the types of symbols are the same. For this reason, it cannot be specified from the symbol whether the shortened 5R big hit game or the small hit game has been awarded.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 31a, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol, and when the variation pattern for the deviation reach variation is designated, the decorative control is selected from the off symbol symbols forming the reach state. decide. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and a variation pattern for deviation variation is designated, the overall control CPU 31a determines a decoration from the missing symbols. Then, the overall control CPU 31a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design to the display control board 32. In addition, when the overall control CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

  When the change control designation command and the change end command are input, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value corresponding to the command in the overall control RAM 31c. In particular, the general control CPU 31a can specify the type of the big hit game by inputting a special figure designation command at the start of the variable game that is a big hit. Further, the overall control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the probability variation state and the variation state are given based on the type of the big hit game and the game state at the time of winning (current), and the number of variations. . The overall control CPU 31a sets the specified number of times of change to the number of operations assigned to the overall control RAM 31c when the change state is given. This number of operations is a counter for counting the number of times that the variable state is given. Then, the overall control CPU 31a subtracts “1” the number of times of operation every time the variable game is executed until the number of times of operation becomes “0”.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode can be shifted mainly after the end of each big hit game and the small hit game. The effect mode indicates a probability variation expectation level (possibility that a certain probability variation state has been imparted) suggesting that a certain probability variation state has been imparted. This probability variation expectation indicates the ratio of the appearance rate in the case of the probability variation state to the overall appearance rate obtained by adding the appearance rate in the probability variation state and the appearance rate in the non-probability variation state. The effect mode corresponds to the type of background image of the effect display device 11 in the variable game, and can be easily recognized by the player based on the background image. In addition, the effect mode can be executed over a plurality of continuous variation games. As described above, the effect mode can be specified by displaying the background image, and indicates the expected degree of the privilege for the player by indicating the certainty expectation degree.

  In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of effect modes having different probability variations. The plurality of effect modes are roughly classified into three types: a normal effect mode, a probability change / secret effect mode, and a probability change confirmation effect mode. The normal effect mode is an effect mode when the variable state is not assigned, and the probability change secret effect mode and the probability change confirmed effect mode are effect modes when the variable state is assigned.

  In addition, the normal performance mode and the probability variation secret rendering mode are performance modes in which a stay can be made when the probability variation state is given and a case where the probability variation state is not given, and the probability variation state may be given. Further, the probability variation confirmed effect mode is an effect mode in which it is possible to stay only when the probability variation state is given and it is confirmed that the probability variation state is given.

  Further, in the normal effect mode and the probability variation secret effect mode, in principle, the same background image is displayed for each effect mode regardless of whether or not it is in the probability variation state. Kaga is difficult to recognize by the player. As described above, the background image in the normal effect mode and the probability variation / secret effect mode corresponds to a non-specific effect in which whether or not the state image is in the probability variation state cannot be specified regardless of whether or not it is in the probability variation state. On the other hand, the background image in the probability variation confirmed effect mode corresponds to a specific effect that can specify that the probability variation state is given. Also, in each effect mode, in principle, the background image is at least different, and it can be specified by the player that the effect is different.

Next, the transition transition of various production modes accompanying the progress of the game will be described below.
When various big hits or small wins are won, the production mode is shifted to the start of the first variable game after the end of the game.

  When a big win excluding the shortened 5R probability change big hit (symbol J) is won, regardless of the effect mode at the time of winning, the mode is changed to the probability change secret effect mode. In addition, when staying in one of the probability variation concealment effect mode and the probability variation confirmation effect mode and winning a shortened 5R probability variation jackpot (symbol J), the mode changes to the probability variation confirmation effect mode. In addition, when staying in the normal performance mode and winning a shortened 5R probability variation big hit (symbol J) or a small hit (symbol Q), the program stays in the normal performance mode. In addition, when staying in either the probability variation / secret rendering mode or the probability variation / definition rendering mode and winning a small hit (symbol Q), the rendering mode that has been staying in the past is maintained.

  In the probability variation concealment effect mode, when the variable state continues in the 101st variation game after the end of the big hit game, the probability variation confirmation effect mode is entered at the start of the variation game. On the other hand, in the probability variation concealment effect mode, after the end of the jackpot game, if the variable state ends by the end of the 9, 18, or 100 variable game, at the start of the variable game, Transition to normal performance mode.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 31a specifies the effect mode to be shifted to after the end of the big hit game or the small hit game, and specifies the number of stays. Then, the central control CPU 31a counts the variation game executed by subtracting the number of stays from the start of the variation game. When the number of stays becomes "0", the overall control CPU 31a The production mode to be transferred is designated without being elected. When the transition effect mode is designated in this way, the overall control CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 an effect mode designation command indicating the transition destination effect mode. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described below.
When a control command is input from the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a), the display control CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the display control CPU 32a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the effect display device 11 starts the variation game by displaying the decorative drawing in a variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Control display content. Then, when the display control CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the decoration designated by the ornament design designation command is displayed in a fixed stop manner. By this control, a variation game is performed in the effect display device 11.

  Next, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an opening command corresponding to the type of jackpot game, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 to execute the opening effect corresponding to the command. In addition, when a round command is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that each round effect is executed in principle. Further, when the ending command is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the ending effect.

  In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 32a executes each round effect because the round command corresponding to the start of the first to tenth round games is not input when winning the 10th short-open big hit. I won't let you. For this reason, the display control CPU 32a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so that the opening effect started by the input of the opening command is continuously executed until the tenth round game is completed. Since the display control CPU 32a receives a round command corresponding to the start of the 11th to 15th round games, when the round command corresponding to the start of the 11th to 15th round games is input, each round effect The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 32a executes each round effect because the round command corresponding to the start of the first to fifth round games is not input when the fifth short opening big hit is won. I won't let you. Therefore, the display control CPU 32a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so that the opening effect started by the input of the opening command is continuously executed until the fifth round game is completed. Since the display control CPU 32a receives a round command corresponding to the start of the sixth to tenth round games, when the round command corresponding to the start of the sixth to tenth round games is input, each round effect The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to be executed.

  Further, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect mode designation command, the effect display device 11 is specified so that the effect mode specified by the command is specified and various images such as a background image corresponding to the effect mode are displayed. Control.

  Specifically, the display control CPU 32a, when the normal effect mode and the probability change secret effect mode are specified by the effect mode specification command, whether the probability change state is given regardless of whether the probability change state is given or not. An image that is difficult to specify is displayed on the effect display device 11. Thus, the display control CPU 32a executes a non-specific effect that is difficult to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given.

  On the other hand, the display control CPU 32a causes the effect display device 11 to display an image that can specify that the probability variation state is given when the probability variation confirmed effect mode is designated by the effect mode designation command. As a result, the display control CPU 32a executes a specific effect that can specify that the probability variation state is given.

  In the present embodiment, the degree of advantage of the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game can be predicted by the opening mode of each of the jackpots 18 and 22 during the jackpot game.

First, the opening mode of the first big winning opening 18 in the case where a big win is won in the first variable game and a big win game is awarded will be described below with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the case where a 10-time short-open real 5R big-hit game is awarded as the first big hit game, the opening time is set after the variable game won for the 10th short-open big hit is over. The second opening control (shown as “short” in the figure) is started without being set. Then, after the second opening control is continuously performed 10 times (first opening number), the first opening control (indicated as “long” in the drawing) is continuously performed 5 times (specified opening number). .

  The first opening control is a control for opening the first big winning opening 18 with an upper limit of 25 s (first time) in which a winning upper limit number of game balls can be won. The second opening control is a control for opening the first big winning opening 18 for an upper limit of 0.04 s (second time), which is shorter than 25 s and difficult for winning the number of winning game balls.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when a 5 short short hit real 5R big hit game is awarded as the second big hit game, after the variable game won for the 5th short open big hit ends. The opening time is set to 7.7 s, and then the second opening control is started. Then, after the second opening control is performed five times (second opening number), the first opening control is performed five times (specified opening number).

  Thus, the 6th to 10th second opening control in the 10th short opening substantial 5R big hit game and the 1st to 5th second opening control in the 5th short opening substantial 5R big hit game are the same opening mode. On the other hand, when the 1st to 5th second opening control is performed in the 10th short opening substantial 5R big hit game, the second opening control is not performed in the 5th short opening substantial 5R big hit game, Different opening modes. In other words, in the 5-short short-open real 5R big hit game, the first open control is performed in the same execution mode and the second open control is performed in a different execution mode as compared to the 10-time short open real 5R big hit game. The execution mode mentioned here includes the number of executions of opening control of each of the special winning openings 18, 22 and the execution timing (execution order).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), in the case where the 0-time short-open real 5R big-hit game as a special big-hit game is awarded, the opening time is set after the variable game won for the 0-time short-open big win is over. 15.4 s is set, and the first opening control is performed five times (the specified opening number) without performing the second opening control thereafter.

  In this way, when the 0-time short-open real 5R big hit game is awarded, the second open is compared to the case where the 15-time short-open real 5R big hit game and the 10-time short-open real 5R big hit game are awarded. Although the control is not performed (although it is a different execution mode), the first release control is performed in the same execution mode.

  In addition, in the 5R big hit game, the first big winning opening 18 is opened with the upper limit of 0.04 s in the different execution modes in the first period in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened with the upper limit of 25 s in the same execution mode. (Including the case where it is not opened), the upper limit is 25s, and the first grand prize winning opening 18 is classified as the second period in which it is not opened.

  As described above, in the first period in which the first opening control is executed and it is easy to obtain the game, the first opening control is executed in the same execution manner regardless of the type of the big hit game in the substantial 5R big hit game. Is done. On the other hand, the second opening control can be executed without executing the first opening control, and in the second period in which it is difficult to obtain the ball, among the 5R big hit games, depending on the type of the big hit game The second opening control is executed in a different execution mode, or the second opening control is not executed. Therefore, by specifying the opening mode of the first big winning opening 18 in the second period before the first period, it is possible to specify which big hit game is among the substantial 5R big hit games.

  In addition, in the 10th short-open real 5R big hit game, the opening time is not defined as the second period from the end of the variable game won for the 10th short-open big hit to the start of the first open control. Instead, the second opening control is continuously performed 10 times. Even if the second opening control is performed, the first big winning opening 18 is opened with 0.04 s as the upper limit, so that it is difficult to win a predetermined upper limit number of game balls in the first big winning opening 18. The first big prize opening 18 is opened until 0.04 s elapses. For this reason, in the second opening control, the first big prize opening 18 is opened for 0.04 s, and the opening interval time becomes 1.5 s. Therefore, 15.4 s will elapse from the end of the variable game won for the 10th short opening big hit until the first opening control is performed.

  In addition, as the second period in the 5-times short-open substantial 5R big hit game, after the opening time of 7.7 s, the second second-opening control is continuously performed 5 times. For this reason, 15.4 s will elapse from the end of the variable game won for the 5th short open big hit until the first open control is performed, as in the 10th short open real 5R big hit game. Become.

  In this way, when the 10 short short real 5R big hit game is awarded, the first big hit display result is displayed in the variable game, compared to when the 5 short short real 5R big hit game is awarded. It is defined that the time until the opening of the special winning opening 18 is started is shortened. In addition, the opening time is defined so that the upper limit time of the 10 short-open real 5R big hit game is the same as the upper limit time of the 5 short open real 5R big hit game.

  In addition, as the second period in the 0 times short opening substantial 5R big hit game, the second opening control is not performed after the opening time of 15.4 s has elapsed. For this reason, it is the same as the 10th short-open real 5R big hit game and the 5th short-open real 5R big hit game from the end of the variable game won for the 0th short open big hit until the first release control is performed. Thus, 15.4 s will elapse.

  In addition, when the 0th short-open real 5R jackpot game is awarded, the first big prize is displayed after the jackpot display result is displayed in the variable game, compared to the case where the 5th short-open real 5R jackpot game is awarded. It is defined that the time until the opening of the mouth 18 is started becomes longer. Then, the opening time is defined so that the upper limit time of the 0 times short-open real 5R big hit game is the same as the upper limit time of the 10-time short open real 5R big hit game and the 5th short open real 5R big hit game.

  In this way, among the real 5R big hit games, the upper limit time is the same for each of the 10 short open real 5R big hit games, the 5 short short real 5R big hit games, and the 0 short open real 5R big hit games. It will be controlled to become.

  In addition, in the second period in the substantial 5R big hit game, the opening effect is executed in the same effect mode, and in the first period, the round effect is executed in the same effect mode for each round game. As described above, among the real 5R big hit games, the opening effect is the same in the 10-short open real 5R big hit game, the 5 short open real 5R big hit game, and the 0 short short real 5R big hit game. Round production is feasible. For this reason, it is not possible to specify which jackpot game is a real 5R jackpot game from the production mode. In FIG. 5, the ending time is defined on the assumption that the winning time for the big 5R jackpot is in the non-variable state, but in the variable state, the ending time is not defined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an explanation will be given of how the second big winning opening 22 is opened when the big win is won in the second variable game and the big win game is awarded.
As shown in FIG. 6A, when a 15R jackpot game is awarded, the opening time is not set after the variable game won for 15R jackpot is over, and the third release control (in the figure, (Shown as “long”). Then, after the third opening control is performed once (second specified number of opening times), the fourth opening control (shown as “medium” in the drawing) is continuously performed 14 times.

The third release control is a control for opening the second large winning opening 22 with an upper limit of 25s (third time) in which a winning upper limit number of game balls can be won. The fourth opening control is a control for opening the second big winning opening 22 with an upper limit of 8 s (fourth time) in which a winning upper limit number of game balls can be won, which is shorter than 25 s. The third time is the same as the first time, and the fourth time is shorter than the first time and the third time, unlike the first time, the second time, and the third time. It is longer than the second time.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, when a 10R jackpot game as the third jackpot game is awarded, the opening time is not set after the variable game won for the 10R jackpot is over. First, the third release control is started. Then, after the third opening control is performed once (second specified opening number), the fourth opening control is continuously performed nine times. In this way, in the 10R big hit game, the third release control is performed in the same execution mode and the fourth release control is executed in a different execution mode as compared to the 15R big hit game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), when 5R jackpot game as the fourth jackpot game is awarded, the opening time is not set after the variable game won for 5R jackpot is over, The third release control is started. Then, after the third opening control is performed once (second specified opening number), the fourth opening control is continuously performed four times. As described above, in the 5R big hit game, the third release control is performed in the same execution mode and the fourth release control is executed in a different execution mode as compared with the 15R big hit game. In other words, the release control in the second variation game is a specific release control in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened corresponding to the type of the big hit. The opening control is different from the opening control.

  In addition, the degree of advantage of the game state after the end of the big hit game differs depending on the type of the big hit in each variable game, but further depending on the type of the big hit game, further depending on the execution mode of the opening control of each of the big winning holes 18,22. However, the advantageous degree of the game state after the end of the big hit game may be different. In other words, when the type of the big hit game is specified, the advantageous degree of the game state after the big hit game can be predicted.

  First, referring to FIG. 7 (a), the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game when the real 5R big hit (symbols A to I, K to P) is won in the non-varying state. explain.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), when a 10-time short open big hit (symbols A to C, K, L) to which a 10-time short open real 5R big hit game is awarded is won, the probability change state after the end of the big hit game Is the probability of winning 10 short open probability change jackpots (symbols A to C), and is 22/30 (73.3%).

  In addition, when winning 5 short open big hits (designs D to F, M, N) to which a 5 short short hit real 5R big hit game is awarded, the probability that the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game is 5 This is the probability of winning the short-run open probability change big hit (designs D to F), which is 22/30 (73.3%).

  In addition, when the 0 times short open big hit (symbols G to I, O, P) in which the 0 times short open real 5R big hit game is awarded is won, the probability that the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game is 0 This is the probability of winning the short-run open probability change big hit (symbols GI), which is 11/15 (73.3%).

  In this way, when the real 5R big hit (symbols A to J, L to P) is won in the non-variable short state, the probability that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends is the type of the big hit game (10 times This is the same regardless of the short-open real 5R big hit game, the five short-open real 5R big hit game, and the zero short-open real 5R big hit game), and the probability of change is the same.

  In addition, when winning 10 short open big hits (symbols A to C, K, L) to which 10 short open real 5R big hit games are awarded, after the big hit game is over, 9 times will be given as the upper limit, giving a variable state The probability of being won is the probability of winning the first 10th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol A) or the first 10th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol K), 13/30 (43.3%) It becomes. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the probability that the variable state is given up to 18 times is the second 10th short open probability variable big hit (symbol B) or the second 10th short open non-probable big hit (symbol). L) is the probability of winning and will be 13/30 (43.3%). In addition, the probability that the short state will be given until the next time after the end of the big hit game is the probability of winning the third 10th short-open probability change big hit (symbol C), which is 4/30 (13.3%). Become.

  In addition, if you win 5 short open big hits (designs D to F, M, N) that will be given a 5R short open real 5R big hit game, you will be given a variable state with an upper limit of 9 after the big hit game ends. The probability of being won is the probability of winning the first 5th short open probability variable big hit (symbol D) or the first 5th short open non-probable big hit (symbol M), 16/30 (53.3%) It becomes. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the probability that the variable state is given up to 18 times is the second 5th short open probability variable big hit (symbol E) or the second 5th short open non-probable big hit (symbol). N) is the probability of winning and will be 13/30 (43.3%). In addition, the probability that the shortened state is given until the next time after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning the third 5th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol F), which is 1/30 (3.3%). Become.

  In this way, when the real 5R big win is won in the non-variable short state, the shortage number (upper limit number) to which the short state is given after the big hit game is finished is given 10 short open real 5R big hit game. In this case, the degree of advantage is higher than that in the case where a 5-short short real 5R big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, when winning 0 times short open big hit (symbols GI, O, P) where 0 short short game real 5R big hit game is awarded, after the big hit game is over, 9 times will be given as upper limit The probability of being won is the probability of winning the first 0 times short open probability variable big hit (symbol G) or the first 0 times short open non-probable big hit (symbol O), and 8/15 (53.3%) It becomes. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the probability that the variable state is given up to 18 times is the second 0th short open probability variable big hit (symbol H) or the second 0th short open non-probable big hit (symbol). P) is the probability of winning and will be 6/15 (40.0%). In addition, the probability that the shortened state will be given until the next time after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning the third 0th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol I), which is 1/15 (6.7%). Become.

  In this way, when the real 5R big win is won in the non-variable short state, the number of short and short changes given after the end of the big hit game is 10 times when the short open real 5R big hit game is given. , The degree of advantage is higher than the case where 0 short short real 5R big hit game is awarded. In addition, the number of times of change to which the change state is given after the end of the big hit game is such that the case where the 0 short short real 5R big hit game is given is more than the case where the five short open real 5R big hit game is given. Increased advantage.

  In addition, if a 10-time short open big hit (symbols A to C) is awarded, which is given a 10R short-open real 5R big hit game and a certain change state is given after the end, it will change up to 9 times after the big hit game ends. The probability that the short state is given is the probability of winning the first 10th short-open probability change big hit (symbol A), which is 9/22 (41.0%). In addition, the probability that the shortage state is given with 18 times as the upper limit after the end of the big hit game is the probability of winning the second 10th short open probability variable big hit (symbol B), and 9/22 (41.0 %). In addition, the probability that the shortened state will be given until the next time after the end of the big hit game is the probability of winning the third 10th short open probability variable big hit (symbol C), which is 4/22 (18.2%). Become.

  In addition, if a 5 short short hit big hit (symbols D to F) is awarded after the end of the big hit game, the upper limit will be changed to 9 times after the end of the big hit game. The probability that the short state is given is the probability of winning the first 5th short-open probability change big hit (symbol D), which is 12/22 (54.5%). In addition, the probability that the shortened state is given up to 18 times after the end of the big hit game is the probability of winning the second 5th short open probability variable big hit (symbol E), and 9/22 (41.0 %). In addition, the probability that the shortened state will be given until the next time after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning the third 5th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol F), which is 1/22 (4.5%). Become.

  In this way, if the winning is a real 5R jackpot in a non-changing short state and the probability changing state is given, the changing number of times the changing state is given after the end of the big hit game is 10 short opening real 5R When the big hit game is awarded, the degree of advantage is higher than when the five short short real 5R big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, if a 0-short short-open big hit (symbols GI) is awarded after the end of the big-hit game, the upper limit will be 9 times after the end of the big-hit game. The probability that the short state is given is the probability of winning the first 0th short-open probability change big hit (symbol G), which is 6/11 (54.5%). In addition, the probability that the variable state is given up to 18 times after the end of the big hit game is the probability of winning the second 0th short open probability variable big hit (symbol H), and 4/11 (36.4). %). In addition, the probability that the shortened state will be given until the next time after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning the third 0th short-open probability change jackpot (symbol I), which is 1/11 (9.1%). Become.

  In this way, if the winning is a real 5R jackpot in a non-changing short state and the probability changing state is given, the changing number of times the changing state is given after the end of the big hit game is 10 short opening real 5R When the jackpot game is awarded, the degree of advantage is higher than when the zero-short-open real 5R jackpot game is awarded. In addition, the number of times of change to which the change state is given after the end of the big hit game is such that the case where the 0 short short real 5R big hit game is given is more than the case where the five short open real 5R big hit game is given. Increased advantage.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7 (b), the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game will be described below when the 5R big hit (symbols A to I, K to P) is won in the variable state. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), if the winning is 5V big hit (symbols A to J, L to P) to which the real 5R big hit game is given in the variable state, the probable change state is given after the big hit game is finished. The probability of being played is the same regardless of the type of jackpot game (73.3%), and the degree of advantage is the same for the probable change state.

  Also, in the case of winning a substantial 5R big hit (symbols A to I, K to P) in the variable state, when the probable change state is given, the change state is given until the next time, and when the probable change state is not given, The variable state is given with the predetermined number of times (100 in this embodiment) as the upper limit number of times. For this reason, the number of times that the variable state is given after the end of the jackpot game will be the same regardless of the type of jackpot game when the real 5R jackpot is won in the non-variable state. The advantage is the same.

  In addition, even when winning a 5R jackpot in a variable state and winning a promising variable state, the number of times the variable state is given after the jackpot game ends is the same regardless of the type of jackpot game. Thus, the degree of advantage is the same for the number of times of change.

  Even if you win the real 5R big hit (designs A to I, K to P) in the non-variable short state and the case where you win the real 5R big win in the variable short state, 10 short short real 5R big hit game When the game is awarded, the advantage of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is higher than when the 5 times short open real 5R big hit game or the 0 times short open real 5R big hit game is given. Therefore, when the second opening control is performed ten times continuously, when the second opening control is performed five times continuously, compared with the case where the second opening control is not performed, after the end of the big hit game The advantage of the gaming state is increased.

  Further, when the 0-time short-open real 5R big hit game is awarded, the advantage of the gaming state after the big hit game is higher than when the 5-time short-open real 5R big hit game is awarded. Therefore, when the second release control is not performed, the degree of advantage of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is higher than when the second release control is continuously performed five times.

  Next, when one of the 15R jackpot (symbols a and d), 10R jackpot (symbols b and e), and 5R jackpot (symbols c and f) is won, the degree of advantage of the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game Is described below with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, when a 15R jackpot game is awarded, the probability that a probability variation state is awarded after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning the 15R probability variation jackpot (symbol a), 30 (83.3%).

  In addition, when a 10R jackpot game is awarded, the probability that a probability variation state is granted after the end of the jackpot game is a probability of winning 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol b), which is 25/30 (83.3%). Become.

  In addition, when 5R jackpot game is awarded, the probability that the probability variation state is awarded after the end of the jackpot game is the probability of winning 5R probability variation jackpot (symbol c), which is 30/40 (75.0%). Become.

  Thus, the probability that the probability variation state is given after the end of the jackpot game is higher in the case of winning either the 15R jackpot or the 10R jackpot than in the case of winning the 5R jackpot. In addition, the probability that the probability change state is given after the end of the jackpot game is the same regardless of the type of the jackpot game when the 15R jackpot is won and when one of the 10R jackpots is won, the probability change state The degree of advantage is the same.

  In addition, when a winning change state is given in the case of winning either of 15R big hit (symbols a and d), 10R big hit (symbols b and e), and 5R big hit (symbols c and f), it will change until the next time. When the state is given and the probability variation state is not given, the variable state is given with the predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) as the upper limit number. For this reason, the number of times of change to which a change state is given after the end of the big hit game is more advantageous when winning either the 15R big hit or the 10R big hit than when winning the 5R big hit. In addition, the number of times of change to which a change state is given after the end of the big hit game is the same regardless of the type of the big hit game, in the case of winning the 15R big hit and in the case of winning one of the 10R big hits, The degree of advantage is the same for the probability variation state.

  In addition, even if one of 15R big hit (symbols a and d), 10R big hit (symbols b and e), and 5R big hit (symbols c and f) are selected and the probability variation state is given, the big hit game The number of times of change to which the change state is given after the end of is more advantageous when winning either 15R big hit or 10R big hit than when winning 5R big hit. In addition, in the case of winning 15R jackpot and in the case of winning 10R jackpot, on the premise that the probability variation state has been granted, the number of times of change to which the variable state is given after the end of the jackpot game, It is the same regardless of the type of jackpot game, and the degree of advantage is the same for the probability variation state.

  When one of the 15R jackpot game and the 10R jackpot game is awarded, the advantageous degree of the game state after the jackpot game is higher than when the 5R jackpot game is awarded. Therefore, when the fourth release control is continuously performed 9 times and 14 times, the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is higher than when the fourth release control is continuously performed 4 times. Become. Note that the degree of advantage of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is the same when the fourth release control is performed 9 times continuously and when the fourth release control is performed 14 times continuously.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The second opening control is performed in different execution modes in the 10-time short opening substantial 5R big hit game and the 5 times short opening substantial 5R big hit game. For this reason, it is possible to specify the 10-time short-open real 5R big hit game and the 5-times short-open real 5R big hit game from the opening mode of the first big winning opening 18 by the second open control, and the advantage of the gaming state after the big hit game is ended. The degree can be predicted. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving attention to the second opening control in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened for a short time.

  (2) On the other hand, the first opening control is performed in the same execution manner in the 10-time short opening substantial 5R big hit game and the 5 times short opening substantial 5R big hit game. For this reason, from the opening mode of the first big winning opening 18 by the first opening control, it is not possible to specify the 10-time short opening real 5R big hit game and the 5 times short opening real 5R big hit game. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the 10-time short opening real 5R big hit game and the 5 times short opening real 5R big hit game from the opening mode of the first big winning opening 18 by the second opening control. By giving attention to the second opening control with a short opening time, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (3) Further, the first opening control is performed with the first time (25 s) as the upper limit, while the second opening control is performed with the second time (0.04 s) as the upper limit. The first time is the time during which the upper limit number of game balls can win the first grand prize opening 18, and the second time is the time when the upper limit number of game balls can win the first big prize opening 18. It is. Conventionally, when it is easy to obtain a game where the maximum number of game balls that can be won in the big prize opening is set as the upper limit, it will be paid attention to the big prize opening, but the upper limit number of game balls will be paid. If the upper limit is set to the time when it is difficult to win a prize, it will be difficult to get a prize. For this reason, there is little attention to the special winning opening, and further improvement is desired for the notification regarding the cumulative number of winning balls. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if it is difficult to obtain a ball, the 10th short opening substantial 5R big hit game and the 5th short opening substantial 5R from the opening state of the first big winning opening 18 by the second opening control. The jackpot game can be identified, and the advantageous degree of the game state after the jackpot game is finished can be predicted. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving attention to the second opening control in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened for a short time.

  (4) In particular, in the first variation game, it is difficult to predict the advantageous degree of the game state after the end of the big hit game from the execution mode of the first release control, but from the execution mode of the second release control, The advantage of the gaming state can be predicted. In the second variation game, specific release control different from that of the first variation game is performed, and the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the big hit game is determined according to at least the type of the big hit game. For this reason, diversification can be achieved by the release control in the first variation game and the release control in the second variation game, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (5) The greater the number of times the second opening control is performed, the higher the advantage of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the expectation for the increase in the number of times the second opening control is performed so that the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is high, and the time for the first big prize opening 18 to open By giving attention to the second opening control with a short, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (6) By adjusting the time from when the jackpot display result is displayed until the opening of the first big winning opening 18 is started by the second opening control, the upper limit time of the 10-time short opening 5R jackpot game and 5 It is possible to make the upper limit time of the short-opening substantial 5R big hit game the same, and it is possible to easily perform the production control. In particular, since the upper limit time from when the jackpot display result is displayed until the first opening control is performed is the same, it is possible to perform the effect in the same effect mode, and it is possible to easily perform the effect control.

  (7) Further, the first opening control is performed after the second opening control is performed. Thus, in order to predict the advantageous degree of the game state after the end of the big hit game, the execution mode of the second release control must be visually confirmed. For this reason, even after the jackpot display result is displayed until the first release control is released, the interest in the game can be continued by giving attention to the second release control.

  (8) A 10-time short-open real 5R big hit game and a 5-time short-open real 5R big hit game and a 0-time short open real 5R big hit game with different advantageous levels after the end of the big hit game are given, and this 0-time short In an open substantial 5R big hit game, the first release control is performed in the same execution mode, but the second release control is not performed. Thus, even when the first opening control and the second opening control are not performed, attention is paid to the first big winning opening 18 in order to predict the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game. And can continue to be interesting for games.

  (9) In the case where the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, the probability that the 10 times short-open real 5R big hit game is given is different from the case where the five short open real 5R big hit game is given. Then, the upper limit number of variable games to which the variable state is given is determined. For this reason, in the case where the probable change state is given in the same manner, the variation game which gives the change state depending on whether the 10 short short real 5R big hit game is given or the 5 short open real 5R big hit game is given. The upper limit can be predicted. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving attention to the second opening control in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened for a short time.

  (10) In the first variation game, it is difficult to predict the advantageous degree of the game state after the end of the big hit game from the execution mode of the first release control, but from the execution mode of the second release control, the game The advantage of the state can be predicted. On the other hand, in the second variation game, the release control in the first variation game is different, but from the execution mode of the third release control, it is difficult to predict the advantageous degree of the game state after the end of the big hit game, The advantageous degree of the gaming state can be predicted from the execution mode of the fourth release control. For this reason, diversification can be achieved by the release control in the first variation game and the release control in the second variation game, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (11) While the first opening control and the third opening control are opened for the respective large winning openings 18, 22 for the same time, the second opening control and the fourth opening control are performed for different times for the respective large winning openings 18, 22 22 is opened. Thereby, diversification can be achieved by the release control in the first variation game and the release control in the second variation game, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (12) In addition, it is possible to diversify the release control in the first variation game and the release control in the second variation game, including the release control common to the first variation game and the second variation game, It is possible to improve the interest in games.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments, and the overlapping description is omitted or simplified.

  In the first embodiment, when a big hit is made in the second variation game, the upper limit is 25 s in the first round game, and the upper limit is 8 s in other round games. However, in the second embodiment, the upper limit is set to 25 s except for the first round game.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when a big win is won in the second variable game, the big win game has an upper limit of 25 s in the first, sixth, and eleventh round games, and other round games. 8s is the upper limit. Specifically, in the 15R jackpot game, the upper limit is 25 s in the first, sixth, and eleventh round games, and the upper limit is 8 s in the other round games. In the 10R big hit game, the upper limit is 25 s in the first and sixth round games, and the upper limit is 8 s in the other round games. In the 5R jackpot game, the upper limit is 25 s in the first round game, and the upper limit is 8 s in other round games.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a performs the third release control and the fourth release control in the 10R big hit game, while the 5R big hit game has the first release control as compared with the 10R big hit game. Both the 3 release control and the 4th release control are performed in different execution modes.

As described above in detail, the second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (9), (11), and (12) in the first embodiment.
(13) In the first variation game, it is difficult to predict the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the big hit game from the execution mode of the first release control, but from the execution mode of the second release control, The degree of advantage can be predicted. On the other hand, in the second variation game, the advantageous degree of the gaming state after the end of the big hit game can be predicted from both the third release control and the fourth release control. For this reason, the release control in the first variation game and the release control in the second variation game can give an increase in game play, can be diversified, and can improve the fun of the game.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the first opening control and the third opening control are the same opening mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and different opening modes may be used. As a specific example, the first opening control may be 8 s.

As a specific example, the opening time in the fourth opening control may be set to 0.04 s, and it may be a time when it is difficult for the winning upper limit number of game balls to enter. Further, for example, the opening time in the second opening control may be 8 s, and may be a time during which a maximum number of winning game balls can enter.

  In the above embodiment, the opening time is not defined in the 10 short open substantial 5R big hit game. However, the opening time is not limited to this, and the opening time may be defined.

  -In the above embodiment, the second period is the same time by making the opening times different in the 10 short open real 5R big hit game, the 5 short open real 5R big hit game, and the 0 short open real 5R big hit game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second period may be defined to be the same time by changing the round interval time.

  In the above embodiment, the second period is defined to be the same time in the 10-time short-open real 5R big hit game, the 5-time short-open real 5R big hit game, and the 0-time short open real 5R big hit game. The time is not limited to the same, and it is preferable that the time is determined within a time when it is easy for the player to specify the same time.

  In the above embodiment, in the 10th short-open real 5R big hit game, the 5th short open real 5R big hit game, and the 0th short open real 5R big hit game, the opening effect can be executed in the same effect mode in the second period, Although the round effect can be executed in the same effect mode in the first period, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening effect may be executed in a completely different effect manner in the second period. Further, for example, a round effect may be executed in a completely different effect manner in the first period. In addition, the opening effect and the round effect may be executed in an effect mode that suggests a game state (probability change state, number of times of change) after the end of the big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, the first opening control is not performed before the first period in which the first opening control is performed, but the second period in which the second opening control is performed is defined. For example, the second period may be defined after the first period. Further, for example, a plurality of first periods may be defined and the second periods may be defined. Further, for example, a plurality of second periods may be defined and defined so as to sandwich the first period.

  In the above embodiment, depending on the type of decoration that is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, the assignment of probability change state and the number of times of change after the end of the jackpot game have not been fixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, [333 ] [777] and the like, depending on the type of decorative drawing, the provision of the probability change state and the number of times of change after the end of the big hit game may be determined.

  In the above embodiment, the probability variation state given after the end of the jackpot game and the number of times of change are not determined by the determined variation pattern, but not limited to this, for example, depending on the variation pattern, the end of the jackpot game It is also possible to confirm the provision of the probability change state or the number of times of change later.
