The special figure display means is provided on the game board. The variable display control means variably displays the special symbol on the special figure display means in accordance with the execution of the special symbol lottery by the special symbol lottery means, and the derived special symbol determined by the special figure lottery is derived and displayed on the special figure display means. The special figure fluctuation display process is executed. The specific winning opening is provided in the game area so that game balls flowing down the game area can win. The opening / closing means closes the specific winning opening so that it can be opened and closed. The payout means pays out a winning ball in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the specific winning opening.

  The opening / closing pattern determination means is the first game ball to the specific gate after the derivation display of the special figure winning symbol when the fixed special symbol derived and displayed by the variation display control means is a preset special symbol winning symbol. The opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing means is determined according to the passage. After the open / close pattern is determined by the open / close pattern determining means, the specific game control means generates a specific game for controlling the open / close means according to the determined open / close pattern. The effect display means is provided on the game board.

  The effect display control means takes out the valuable storage medium from the CR unit within a specific game waiting period from when the special symbol winning symbol is derived and displayed by the variable display control means until the opening / closing pattern is determined by the opening / closing pattern determination means. A predetermined caution image for prompting is displayed on the effect display means.

  The open / close pattern determining means may determine the open / close pattern of the open / close means based on the special symbol winning symbol determined by the special symbol lottery of the special symbol lottery means. The opening / closing pattern determining means executes a lottery triggered by the first passage of the game ball to the specific gate after the special figure winning symbol is derived and displayed, and determines the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing means based on the result of the lottery. It may be confirmed.

  The RAM of the payout control device 300 is provided with a payout remaining number storage area for storing the payout remaining number of game balls. The payout remaining number storage area stores a prize ball memory area for storing the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball (the number of remaining prize balls), and a loan for storing the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as a loan (number of remaining loans) It is divided into memory areas. When the payout control device 300 receives the prize ball instruction command from the main control device 100, the payout control device 300 adds the number of prize balls remaining by the number of prize balls indicated by the received prize ball instruction command, and confirms the completion of the terminal terminal lending request from the CR unit 70. When the signal is received, the remaining loan amount is added by the basic unit. In the game ball payout operation, each time the payout control device 300 receives a payout count signal from the payout count switch 302, the payout control device 300 subtracts one of the remaining award ball numbers or the remaining lending amount by one, and The payout operation is continued until both of the remaining numbers become zero. Note that the payout control device 300 according to the present embodiment executes payout of the remaining loan amount with priority over the remaining number of winning balls. That is, when the remaining loan amount is not zero, the remaining loan amount is preferentially subtracted until the remaining loan amount becomes zero, and only when the remaining loan amount is zero, the remaining prize ball is subtracted, The payout ends when the remaining number of prize balls reaches zero. If a process (successful ball payout process) is set to continuously execute a single prize ball payout up to a predetermined unit number (for example, 25) as an upper limit, continuous prize ball payout is set. Even if the remaining loan amount increases from zero during the process, the process (prize ball payout) is continued without interruption until the ongoing continuous ball payout process is completed. Then, after one consecutive prize ball payout process is completed, if the remaining number of prize balls is not zero even if the remaining number of prize balls has not yet reached zero, the remaining number of outstanding balls is more than the remaining number of prize balls. Priority is given to paying out. The payout control apparatus 300 transmits a stand READY signal indicating this to the CR unit 70 when the payout operation is executable, and a stand terminal lending completion signal indicating this when the lending for the basic unit is completed.

  Further, the first special symbol display device 40A and the second special symbol display device 40B are composed of a 7-segment display, and an effect display device 50 that performs a predetermined effect display within the same time corresponding to the variation display time of the special symbol. The game board 30 is spaced apart from the lower right portion of the game board 30 so as not to enter the field of view of the player who is watching.

  The state in which any one of the 7 segments constituting the first special symbol display device 40A or the second special symbol display device 40B is blinking is a state in which the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed, The state where the blinking is stopped and the lighting is maintained is a state where the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped.

  Further, the time during which any of the seven segments constituting the first special symbol display device 40A or the second special symbol display device 40B is blinking is the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol.

  It should be noted that the player cannot easily determine which type of the confirmed special symbol as the confirmed special symbol derived and displayed (stopped display) in the first special symbol display device 40A and the second special symbol display device 40B. A proper lighting pattern is set. In addition, regarding the determination processing of the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol (the special symbol variation time that defines the execution time of the special symbol variation display process from the start of variation of the special symbol to the derivation display of the confirmed special symbol) It will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, the first special symbol lottery and the second special symbol lottery are performed in a winning order of a predetermined priority order, and the corresponding first special symbol and second special symbol are changed, and then each lottery result is displayed. Each special symbol is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 40A and the second special symbol display device 40B in a display manner.

  In addition, the first special symbol lottery based on the first start winning port 61 and the second special symbol lottery based on the second start winning port 62 are executed in the winning order of the game balls (chronological old winning order), respectively. Each lottery result (special symbol) is derived and displayed individually.

  The effect display device 50 is provided at a substantially central portion of the game board 30.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 50 is composed of a liquid crystal display device, and the first special symbol and the first symbol that are individually executed in response to the winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 61 and the second starting winning opening 62. Based on the result of the lottery concerning 2 special symbols, it is controlled by the sub-control device 200 so as to display a predetermined effect mode.

  The effect display device 50 includes a first effect symbol (dummy symbol) S1 variably displayed in conjunction with the variation of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 40A as a part of the predetermined effect mode. The first effect symbol (dummy symbol) S1 variably displayed in conjunction with the variation of the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display device 40B is rendered in the liquid crystal image display area. Display control is performed as an image.

  Here, in principle, the stop display mode of the first effect symbol (dummy symbol) S1 is synchronized with the stop display mode (lottery result) of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. That is, on the effect display device 50, a predetermined effect image including an effect symbol S1 that varies and stops according to the special symbol variation time so as to reflect the result of the special symbol lottery is displayed in conjunction with the special symbol variation display process. The

  Further, in the effect display device 50, a display region R1 for displaying that a reserved ball random number (described later) corresponding to the first special symbol lottery is stored in the RAM of the main control device 100 is provided. Separately, a display area R2 is provided for displaying that the reserved ball random number corresponding to the second special symbol lottery is stored in the RAM of the main controller 100.

  The through chucker 66 has a gate structure through which a game ball can pass, and is arranged at the upper left of the stage 51 in this embodiment.

  When the game ball passes through the through chucker 66, the normal symbol winning lottery means 150 of the main controller 100 performs an electronic lottery (ordinary symbol lottery) related to the normal symbol. The normal symbol display device 41 is controlled by the normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 provided in the main control device 100 so as to display the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol (the loss per common symbol).

  The normal symbol display device 41 is disposed above the first special symbol display device 40A, and is composed of two LED lamps in the present embodiment.

  Only one of the two LED lamps is turned on when the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol is hit (per normal), and only the other is turned on when lost. The state in which the two LED lamps are alternately blinking is a state in which the normal symbol is fluctuating, and the state in which the blinking is stopped and the lighting is maintained is a state in which the variation in the normal symbol is stopped.

  Moreover, the time when the two LED lamps are alternately blinking is a normal symbol variation time.

  The electric tulip 63 is provided at the entrance of the second start winning opening 62, and is a pair of blade members that rotate about an axis orthogonal to the front surface of the game board 30, and an electric tulip that drives the pair of blade members. A drive device (solenoid) 63A is provided, and energization of the solenoid 63A causes the pair of blade members to rotate away from each other, thereby enlarging the entrance of the second start winning prize port 62.

  Since the electric tulip 63 has a pair of blade members closed, the distance between the electric tulip 63 and the first winning port 61 disposed above the second starting winning port 62 is such that the game ball cannot pass therethrough. In the state where the blade member is closed, it is impossible to win a game ball in the second start winning opening 62. In addition, you may comprise so that the winning of a game ball to the 2nd start winning opening 62 may become difficult in the state which closed a pair of blade member.

  The electric tulip 63 is controlled by the main control device 100 so that the pair of blade members are opened when the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol is a normal drawing.

  The stage 51 is a structure that is disposed below the effect display device 50 and allows the game ball to stay temporarily while rolling.

  A groove 51A is formed at the center of the stage 51, and a first start winning opening 61 is disposed at a position directly below the groove 51A. For this reason, the game ball dropped from the groove 51A is guided to the first start winning opening 61 with a high probability.

  In addition, on the side surface of the effect display device 50 (not shown), an entrance (so-called warp port) related to the ball passage for guiding the game balls one by one in the groove 51A is provided.

  The big winning opening 64 is a horizontally long rectangular opening and is provided below the second starting winning opening 62.

  The attacker device 65 is provided with a rectangular lid member which is provided in a rotating manner in the shape of a flap in the front-rear direction around the horizontal axis at the lower side of the rectangular opening, and has the same shape as that of the big prize opening 64. And a solenoid to be driven. When the solenoid is energized, the lid member rotates forward to open the special winning opening 64.

  The state in which the attacker device 65 is open is a state in which a game ball can be awarded to the grand prize winning port 64, and the state in which the attacker device 65 is closed is a state in which a game ball cannot be awarded to the grand prize winning port 64. .

  The opening / closing pattern determination means 190 (shown in FIG. 4), which will be described later, wins the result of the first special symbol lottery related to the first special symbol performed when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 61 (first The result of the second special symbol lottery related to the second special symbol performed when the game ball is won at the second start winning opening 62 is won (per second special symbol) In other words, when the confirmed special symbol derived and displayed by the first special symbol display device 40A or the second special symbol display device 40B is a special symbol winning symbol set in advance, the special symbol winning symbol The opening / closing pattern of the attacker device 65 is determined according to the first passage of the game ball to the specific gate (the first gate 85 or the second gate 86) after the derivation display. The opening / closing pattern (type) determined by the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 is 4 round opening / closing (4R prize ball opening / closing), 10 round opening / closing (10R prize ball opening / closing), 16 round opening / closing (16R prize ball opening / closing), and 4 round shortening opening / closing. There are four types of (non-prize ball opening and closing). Note that the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 of this embodiment is based on the type of the determined special symbol and the specific gate through which the game ball has passed (whether it has passed the first gate 85 or the second gate 86). The details will be described later.

  When the opening / closing pattern determining means 190 determines the opening / closing pattern, the main controller 100 controls the attacker driving device 65A, and the attacker device 65 is opened for the predetermined number of rounds, which is advantageous for the player (specific game). Game).

  In this embodiment, the predetermined number of rounds is 4 rounds (per 4R) corresponding to 4R prize ball opening / closing, 10 rounds (per 10R) corresponding to 10R prize ball opening / closing, and 16 rounds (16R corresponding to 16R prize ball opening / closing). Hit), or 4 rounds of shortening (probable hit) corresponding to non-prize ball opening and closing.

  The maximum number of winnings in one round in the case of opening and closing the winning ball is 9 (predetermined number of winnings), and the longest opening time of the attacker device 65 is 30 seconds (predetermined opening time). That is, when the number of game balls won in the big prize opening 64 reaches the prescribed number of prizes (9 in this embodiment) before 30 seconds elapse from the time when the attacker device 65 is opened, One round is completed when 30 seconds elapse from the time when the attacker device 65 is released before the number of winning game balls reaches nine.

  On the other hand, the opening time of one round in the case of non-prize ball opening / closing (probable hit) is extremely short (for example, about 0.5 seconds), and the number of game balls that can be awarded to the big prize opening 64 in one round is 0 to 1. In this way, the winning hit is a hit for giving a privilege to the player by shifting to a special figure high-probability changing game state (probability changing state) to be described later after the winning game, although there is almost no winning ball in the winning game.

  In addition, it is also possible to make a hit game in which the opening time within one round, the number of times of opening and closing the rectangular lid member, or a combination thereof is varied depending on the type per special figure.

  Moreover, the form of the electric tulip 63 or the attacker device 65 is not limited to the above form, but from two blade members, one blade member, a door-shaped opening / closing plate material, or a lower side of the winning opening substantially flush with the game board surface. A velo-shaped plate material that slides to a protruding position and a buried position, or a combination of these may be used.

  In the present embodiment, “one round” is a process for opening the special winning opening 64 obtained by a command for one operation (command from the main control device 100) for operating the attacker device 65.

  Therefore, the number of times that the lid member is driven based on one command (one round) is not limited to one, but may be a predetermined number of times.

  Therefore, for example, in the case of a 4-round winning game, the 4-round winning game is completed based on the fact that one command for operating the attacker device 65 is continuously generated four times individually.

  The number of prize balls paid out by the prize ball payout device 301 is associated in advance with each of the first start winning opening 61, the second starting winning opening 62, the big winning opening 64, and the general winning opening 67.

  The main control device 100 instructs the payout control device 300 on the number of prize balls to be paid in advance associated with the winning opening based on the winning opening where the winning of the game ball is detected. As described above, the payout control device 300 drives the payout motor of the prize ball payout device 301 in accordance with a command from the main control device 100 to cause the prize ball payout device 301 to pay out the prize ball. The prize balls paid out from the prize ball payout device 301 are counted by the payout counting switch 302, and the payout control device 300 stops the payout operation based on the input from the payout counting switch 302.

  In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls previously associated with the first start prize opening 61 and the second start prize opening 62 is 3, and the number of prize balls previously associated with the big prize opening 64 is 13. Yes, the number of prize balls associated with the general winning opening 67 in advance is five.

  For example, the design (theoretical) maximum number of winning balls per opening and closing of each winning ball is 36 (9 winnings x 4 rounds) per 4R, 90 (9 winnings x 10 rounds) per 10R, 144R per 16R (9 prizes x 16 rounds), the maximum number of winning balls is 468 per 4R (36 prizes x 13 award balls), 1170 per 10R (90 prizes x 13 rounds) Prize balls), 1872 per 144R (144 prizes × 13 prize balls).

  On the other hand, in design (theoretical), the maximum number of winning balls in the winning hit is 4 (1 winning x 4 rounds), and the maximum number of winning balls is 52 (4 winning x 13 winning balls).

  The big hit (specific game) to be generated is divided into a first type (first type specific game) and a second type (second type specific game). The first type is a hit in which a predetermined number or more of winning balls can be paid out by the winning ball paying device 301 in one hit game, and the attacker device 65 operates according to the first type opening / closing pattern. The second type hit is a hit in which a predetermined number or more of prize balls cannot be paid out by the prize ball payout device 301 in one hit game, and the attacker device 65 operates according to the second type opening / closing pattern. That is, the attacker device 65 opens and closes according to the first type opening / closing pattern when the first type occurs, and opens and closes according to the second type opening / closing pattern when the second type occurs, to the opened attacker device 65. Each prize ball is paid out by winning a game ball. When the attacker device 65 is opened and closed in accordance with the first type opening / closing pattern, it is possible to pay out prize balls of a predetermined number or more. On the other hand, when opening / closing in accordance with the second type opening / closing pattern, the number of possible winnings to the attacker device 65 is smaller than in the first type opening / closing pattern, and it becomes impossible to pay out more than predetermined balls. Note that in a state where the attacker device 65 is closed, the game ball cannot be won and the prize ball is not paid out. In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls that is 1/4 of the maximum number of prize balls at the place where the maximum number of prize balls is the largest among all the winning games is used as the predetermined number as a determination criterion. In other words, 1872/4 pieces (= 468 pieces) is a predetermined number, and per winning ball (per 4R, 10R and 16R) and corresponding opening / closing patterns (4R award ball opening / closing, 10R award ball opening / closing, 16R award ball) Open / closed) is classified into first type and first type open / close patterns, and per non-prize ball (clash hit) and corresponding open / close pattern (non-premium ball open / close) are classified as second type and second type open / close patterns. being classified.

  Since the first type opening / closing pattern can pay out a relatively large number of prize balls, the player after the completion of the first type specific game consumes the prize balls obtained without using the valuable storage medium and plays the game. Is likely to do. On the other hand, since the second type opening / closing pattern does not pay out award balls, the player after the end of the second type specific game is likely to play a game using a valuable storage medium.

  In the above example, when a prize ball opening / closing of 3 rounds or less is set as the opening / closing pattern, the opening / closing pattern is classified into the second type opening / closing pattern (per second type) according to the classification criteria.

  The game balls that have not won any of the first start winning opening 61, the second starting winning opening 62, the large winning opening 64, and the general winning opening 67 are collected from the out opening 68 located at the bottom of the gaming area 31. The

  Hereinafter, the hardware configuration of the main controller 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the main controller 100 includes a first special symbol success / failure lottery means (special symbol lottery means) 110, a second special symbol success / failure lottery means (special symbol lottery means) 120, and an open / close pattern determination means 190. , Fluctuation display control means 130, normal symbol winning / nothing lottery means (normal symbol lottery means) 150, winning game control means (specific game control means) 160, electric tulip control means (second opening / closing control means) 170, game mode control means 180.

  Each of these means is a means set by a computer program and data stored in the ROM in order to perform control related to the game. In the ROM, areas for storing ON / OFF of a special figure winning flag FGM, which will be described later, are set in advance. The special figure winning flag FGM is set to OFF in the initial state.

  The first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 is triggered by an electronic lottery (first special symbol lottery) per special symbol (per first special symbol) or when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 61. To decide.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range based on one of the hardware internal system clocks periodically input. (In the present embodiment, an integer range of 0 to 65535). By updating at high speed one by one (for example, the processing completion time of one loop is 5 milliseconds), a random number for first special figure determination that is a hardware random number is generated. In other words, the game ball detection signal from the first start winning port detection sensor 91 is a main control device when the first special figure winning random number generating means 111 and the winning of the game ball to the first starting winning port 61 are triggered. The first special figure success / failure random number obtaining means 112 for obtaining (latching) the first special figure success / failure random number generated by the first special figure success / failure random number generation means 111 based on the input to the first special figure success / failure random number generation means 111, For special use The special figure low probability determination table 113A shown in FIG. 6 (a) or FIG. 6 (b) shows whether the first special figure rejection random number acquired by the number acquisition means 112 is per special figure or lost. The first special figure success / failure judging means 113 for judging with reference to the special figure high-accuracy judgment table 113B shown in FIG. 1 and the first special figure based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 61 during the variation of the first special symbol. When the figure winning random number acquisition unit 112 acquires the first special figure winning random number, the predetermined special number winning random number is set as a reserved ball random number related to the first special symbol (4 in the present embodiment). 1), the first special figure determination random number holding means 114 is stored using the RAM of the main controller 100.

  The reserved ball random number stored by the random number holding means 114 for determining whether or not to hold the first special figure is satisfied each time the processing permission condition is satisfied in the winning order in which the reserved ball random number is stored, that is, in the winning order. In addition, the first special figure winning / non-judging judgment means 113 judges whether it is per special figure or lost, and the stored reserved ball random number related to the judgment is cleared. The first special figure winning / refusing determination means 113 sets the special figure winning flag FGM to ON when it is determined that the special figure is hit. The detection of the game ball by the first gate detection sensor 96 and the second gate detection sensor 97 is enabled only when the special figure winning flag FGM is ON, and is disabled when the special figure winning flag FGM is OFF. Is done.

  Note that the start value of the loop counter (including a loop counter described later) in the present embodiment can be changed randomly every time at a predetermined timing using a known technique or the like.

  The special figure low-accuracy determination table 113A and the special figure high-probability determination table 113B shown in FIG. 6 define the correspondence between the first special figure success / failure random number and the special figure hit / miss.

  Specifically, in the special figure low-accuracy determination table 113A shown in FIG. 6 (a), the special figure hit / random numbers 0 to 186 are associated in advance with special figure hit / fail random numbers. Losses are associated with 187 to 65535 in advance. That is, the probability of hitting the special figure when the special figure low-accuracy determination table 113A is referred to is about 1/350.

  On the other hand, in the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113B shown in FIG. 6B, the special figure hits are associated in advance with the first special figure success / failure random numbers 0 to 1860, and the first special figure success / failure Losses are associated with the random numbers 1861 to 65535 in advance.

  That is, when the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113B is referred to, the probability of hitting the special figure is about 1/35.

  As can be seen by comparing these winning probabilities, the winning probability per special figure based on the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113B is less than the probability winning per special figure based on the special figure low-probability determination table 113A. 10 times higher.

  The gaming state in which the special figure low-probability determination table 113A is referred to in the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 to determine whether or not the special figure is hit or lost is the special figure normal gaming state in the present invention. The gaming state in which the high accuracy time determination table 113B is used and the special figure hit or the loss is determined is the special figure high probability gaming state in the present invention.

  Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience, the “special figure normal gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure low probability”, and the “special figure high probability gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure high probability”.

  In addition to the above-described means, the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 includes a first special figure type determining random number generating means 115, a first special figure type determining random number acquiring means 116, and a first special figure. A hit type determining means 117 and a first special figure type determining random number holding means 118 are provided.

  Each of these means has a special symbol that includes a plurality of special symbols that are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 40A when the result of the determination (lottery) by the special symbol success / failure determination means 113 is per special symbol. It is a means to determine by electronic lottery.

  Specifically, the type determining random number generating means 115 for the first special figure sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (in this embodiment, based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds). The random number for the type of the first special figure, which is a software random number, is generated by updating it one by one in the range of an integer of 0 to 99).

  The random number acquisition means 116 for determining the type per first special figure triggers the winning of the game ball of the first start winning opening 61 (the game ball detection signal from the first start winning opening detection sensor 91 is sent to the main controller 100). Based on the input, a type determining random number for the first special figure generated by the first special figure type determining random number generating means 115 is acquired (latched).

  Further, the first special figure type determining means 117, when the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 is per special figure (per first special figure), the first special figure type determining random number obtaining means 116. The type of the first special symbol is determined with reference to the first special symbol type table 117A based on the first special symbol type determining random number obtained by the above.

  Further, when the first special symbol winning / failing lottery means 110 is lost, the first special symbol corresponding to one predetermined loss is determined.

  The random number holding means 118 for determining the type per first special figure is for determining the type per first special figure based on the winning of a game ball to the first start winning opening 61 during the variation of the first special symbol or during the winning game. When the random number acquisition means 116 acquires the type determining random number per first special figure, the RAM of the main controller 100 up to the predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment) of the type determining random number per first special figure. Use to memorize.

  The first special figure type determining random number stored by the first special figure type determining random number holding means 118 is displayed in the winning order based on the stop display of the changing first special symbol or the end of the winning game. Each time the processing permission condition is satisfied, the first special symbol type determining means 117 is used to determine the type of the first special symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the first special figure type table 117A is used when the first special symbol winning / lottery means 110 makes a special figure (per first special figure) type. It defines the correspondence between the random number for determination and the type of special symbol.

  The types of special symbols used in the present embodiment are normal symbol A (4R / 10R normal symbol), normal symbol B (16R / 10R normal symbol), probability variation symbol A (4R / 10R probability variation symbol), probability variation symbol B (16R). / 10R probability variation symbol), probability variation symbol C (special accuracy symbol), probability variation symbol D (16R definite probability variation symbol), and normal symbol A is previously associated with random numbers 0-14 for determining the type per first special symbol. The normal design B is associated with the first special figure type determining random numbers 15 to 29 in advance, and the probability variation design A is associated with the first special figure type determining random numbers 30 to 44 in advance. The probability variation symbol B is associated with the first special figure type determining random numbers 45 to 59 in advance, and the probability variation symbol C is associated with the first special figure type determining random numbers 60 to 89 in advance. 1st special figure type determination random numbers 90-99 Variable symbol D is associated in advance.

  When the first special symbol type table 117A is referred to and the first special symbol type is determined to be the normal symbol A, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is, for example, a lighting pattern. Displayed as A1.

  When the type of the first special symbol is determined to be the normal symbol B, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is displayed as, for example, a lighting pattern B1.

  When the type of the first special symbol is determined as the probability variation symbol A, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is displayed as, for example, the lighting pattern A2.

  When the type of the first special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol B, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is displayed as, for example, the lighting pattern B2.

  Further, when the type of the first special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol C, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is displayed as the lighting pattern C, for example.

  When the type of the first special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol D, the first special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is displayed as the lighting pattern D, for example.

  The selection probabilities of the normal symbol A, the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, the probability variation symbol B, the probability variation symbol C, and the probability variation symbol D are 15%, 15%, 15%, 15%, 30%, and 10%, respectively.

  The selection probabilities are described for reference, and are not included in the first special figure type table 117A.

  As described above, the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 performs the first special symbol lottery related to the success / failure in response to the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 61, and a plurality of types of first special symbols. A function for determining a special symbol (determined special symbol) related to the success / failure from among the above is provided.

  Next, the second special symbol use lottery means 120 provided separately from the first special symbol use lottery means 110 will be described.

  The second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 is triggered by an electronic lottery (second special symbol lottery) per special symbol (per second special symbol) or when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 62. To decide. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range based on one clock of the hardware internal system clock inputted periodically. (In this embodiment, an integer in the range of 0 to 65535 is generated at a high speed one by one (for example, the processing completion time of one loop is 5 milliseconds). In other words, the game ball detection signal from the second start winning port detection sensor 92 is the main control device when the second special figure winning / randomizing number generating means 121 and the winning of the game ball into the second starting winning port 62 are triggered. 100, the second special figure success / failure random number obtaining means 122 for obtaining (latching) the second special figure success / failure random number generated by the second special figure success / failure random number generating means 121 based on the input to the second special figure success / failure random number generating means 121; For special use The special figure low probability determination table 113A shown in FIG. 6A or FIG. 6B shows whether the second special figure rejection random number acquired by the number acquisition means 122 is per special figure or lost. The second special figure success / failure judging means 123 to be judged with reference to the special figure high-accuracy judgment table 113B to be shown, and the second special figure based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 62 during the variation of the second special symbol. When the figure special random number acquisition means 122 obtains the second special figure random number, a predetermined upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) is used as the reserved special random number for the second special symbol. Second random number holding means 124 for storing and rejecting using the RAM of the main control device 100.

  The reserved ball random number stored by the second special figure winning / rejecting random number holding means 124 each time the processing permission condition is satisfied in the winning order in which the reserved ball random number is stored, that is, the winning order. In addition, the second special figure winning / non-judging judgment means 123 judges whether it is per special figure or lost, and the stored reserved ball random number related to the judgment is cleared. Similar to the first special figure success / failure determination means 113, the second special figure success / failure determination means 123 sets the special figure winning flag FGM to ON when it is determined that it is per special figure.

  The special figure low-accuracy determination table 113A and the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113B are tables similar to the tables referred to in the first special symbol lottery.

  That is, the probability that the result of the first special symbol lottery executed with the winning at the first start winning opening 61 is per special figure (per first special figure) and the winning at the second starting winning opening 62 are The probability that the result of the second special symbol lottery executed as an opportunity is per special figure (per second special figure) is the same.

  In the same way as described above, the gaming state in which the special figure low-probability determination table 113A is referred to in the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 to determine whether the special figure hits or loses is determined as the special figure low-probability game in the present invention. The gaming state in which the special figure high-probability determination table 113B is used to determine whether or not the special figure is hit or lost is the special figure high-probability gaming state in the present invention.

  In addition to the above-described means, the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 includes a second special figure type determining random number generating means 125, a second special figure type determining random number acquiring means 126, and a second special figure. A hit type determining means 127 and a second special figure hit type determining random number holding means 128 are provided.

  Similar to the first special symbol lottery described above, these means are derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 40B when the result of the determination (lottery) by the special symbol success / failure determination means 123 is per special symbol. This is a means for determining by electronic lottery from a plurality of special symbols.

  Specifically, the type determining random number generation means 125 for the second special figure sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (in this embodiment, based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds). A random number for each type of second special figure, which is a software random number, is generated by updating it one by one in an integer range of 0 to 99).

  Further, the random number obtaining means 126 for determining the type per second special figure triggers the winning of the game ball to the second start winning port 62 (the game ball detection signal from the second start winning port detection sensor 92 is the main controller 100). 2), the type determining random number for the second special figure generating random number generating means 125 is acquired (latched).

  In addition, the second special symbol type determining means 127, when the second special symbol winning / not determining lottery means 120 is per special symbol (per second special symbol), the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 126. The type of the second special symbol is determined with reference to the second special symbol type table 127A on the basis of the random number for determining the type of second special symbol acquired by the above.

  Further, when the second special symbol use lottery means 120 is lost, a second special symbol corresponding to one predetermined loss is determined.

  The random number holding means 128 for determining the type per second special figure is for determining the type per second special figure based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 62 during the variation of the second special symbol or during the winning game. When the random number obtaining unit 126 obtains a type determining random number per second special figure, the RAM of the main controller 100 up to the predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment) of the type determining random number per second special figure. Use to memorize.

  The random number for determining the type of second special figure stored by the random number holding means 128 for determining the type of second special figure is displayed in the order of winning based on the stop display of the second special symbol being changed or the end of the winning game. Each time the processing permission condition is satisfied, the second special symbol type determining means 127 is used to determine the type of the second special symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the second special figure type table 127A is displayed when the second special symbol winning / lottery means 120 is per special figure (per second special figure). It defines the correspondence between the random number for determination and the type of special symbol.

  The types of special symbols used in the present embodiment are the same as the first special symbol, normal symbol A (4R / 10R normal symbol), normal symbol B (16R / 10R normal symbol), probability variation symbol A (4R / 10R probability variation). Symbol), probability variation symbol B (16R / 10R probability variation symbol), probability variation symbol C (special probability symbol), probability variation symbol D (16R definite probability variation symbol), random numbers 0-14 for determining the type per second special symbol Is associated with the normal symbol A in advance, the normal symbol B is associated with the random numbers 15 to 29 for each type of first special figure, and the random numbers 30 to 49 for the type of first special symbol are determined. Symbol A is associated in advance, probability variation symbol B is first associated with random numbers 50 to 69 for determining the types per first special symbol, and probability variation symbol C is associated with random numbers 70 to 79 for determining types per first special symbol. Are associated in advance, and the type per first special figure Probability variation pattern D are associated in advance in the titration, a random number from 80 to 99.

  When this second special symbol type table 127A is referred and the types of the second special symbol are determined as normal symbol A, normal symbol B, probability variation symbol A, probability variation symbol B, probability variation symbol C, probability variation symbol D, respectively. The second special symbol derived on the first special symbol display device 40A is similar to the first special symbol, for example, the lighting pattern A1, the lighting pattern B1, the lighting pattern A2, the lighting pattern B2, the lighting pattern C, and the lighting pattern D. Respectively.

  The selection probabilities of the normal symbol A, the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, the probability variation symbol B, the probability variation symbol C, and the probability variation symbol D are 15%, 15%, 20%, 20%, 10%, and 20%, respectively.

  In addition, when comparing the first special figure type table 117A and the second special figure type table 127A, the selection probability of the probability variation pattern D is 10% in the first special figure type table 117A, whereas In the type table 127A per 2 special figures, it is 20%. That is, the probability that the type of the second special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol D by the second special symbol lottery is higher than the probability that the type of the first special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol D by the first special symbol lottery. Is set.

  Therefore, the player who enjoys the second special symbol lottery by the second special symbol lottery means 120 more per special figure than the first special symbol lottery by the first special symbol lottery means 110 as seen from the player In addition, since there is a high probability that the type per special figure is determined to be the probability variation symbol D, it is possible to enjoy more prize balls and advance the game advantageously.

  As described above, the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 performs the second special symbol lottery regarding the success / failure when the game ball has won the second start winning opening 62, and a plurality of types of second special symbols. A function for determining a special symbol (determined special symbol) related to the success / failure from among the above is provided.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 will be described.

  In the open / close pattern determining means 190, the special symbol derived and displayed by the variable display control means 130 is a special symbol winning symbol (normal symbol A, normal symbol B, probability variation symbol A, probability variation symbol B, probability variation symbol C, probability variation symbol D). In other words, that is, when the special figure winning flag is ON, the first pass of the game ball to the specific gate (first gate 85 or second gate 86) after the derivation display of the special figure winning symbol (first gate 85 or second gate 86) In response to the detection of the game ball by the first gate detection sensor 96 or the second gate detection sensor 97, the open / close pattern of the attacker device 65 (the type of special figure to be generated) is determined and the special figure winning flag FGM is turned OFF. Set.

  Specifically, in the case where the confirmed special symbol is the normal symbol A (4R / 10R normal symbol) or the probability variation symbol A (4R / 10R probability variation symbol), the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 performs the derivation display of the special symbol winning symbol. When the game ball passes through the first gate 85 (the first gate detection sensor 96 detects the game ball), the 4R prize ball is opened and closed, and the game ball passes through the second gate 86 (the second gate detection sensor 97 is the game ball). Is detected), the 10R prize ball opening / closing is confirmed.

  In the case where the confirmed special symbol is the normal symbol B (16R / 10R normal symbol) or the probability variation symbol B (16R / 10R probability variation symbol), the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 displays the first game ball after the special symbol winning symbol is displayed. When the gate 85 passes (the first gate detection sensor 96 detects the game ball), the 16R prize ball opening / closing is confirmed, and when the game ball passes the second gate 86 (the second gate detection sensor 97 detects the game ball), 10R. Confirm the opening and closing of the prize ball.

  In the case where the confirmed special symbol is a probability variation symbol C (probable symbol), the opening / closing pattern determining means 190 will determine whether the game ball passes through either the first gate 85 or the second gate 86 after the special symbol winning symbol is derived and displayed. Confirm the opening and closing of non-prize balls.

  In addition, when the confirmed special symbol is the probability variation symbol D (16R confirmed symbol), the opening / closing pattern determining means 190 allows the game ball to pass through either the first gate 85 or the second gate 86 after the special symbol winning symbol is derived and displayed. Even so, the 16R prize ball opening / closing is confirmed.

  That is, the special symbol type that is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 40A or the second special symbol display device 40B is determined by electronic lottery, and the fixed special symbol that is stopped and displayed is preset. When it is a symbol, the type of game round (opening / closing pattern) is determined by the game ball first passing through the first gate 85 or the second gate 86 after the special symbol winning symbol is stopped and displayed. It has become. The period from when the special symbol winning symbol is stopped to when the open / close pattern is determined is referred to as a specific game standby period.

  The hit game control means 160 opens and closes the attacker device 65 for four rounds when the type per special figure determined by the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 is 4R prize ball opening / closing, and accompanies the player with a predetermined number of prize balls or more. Provide a winning game, and when the type per special figure is 10R prize ball opening / closing, the attacker device 65 is opened / closed for 10 rounds to provide the player with a winning game with a predetermined number of prize balls or more. When the type per special figure is 16R prize ball opening / closing, the attacker device 65 is opened / closed for 16 rounds to provide a player with a winning game with a predetermined number of prize balls or more. When the type per special figure is non-prize ball opening / closing, the hit game control means 160 opens and closes the attacker device 65 for only four rounds in a very short time to provide a hit game to the player. The player cannot obtain a predetermined number of prize balls or more depending on the game played.

  The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 shown in FIG. 4 determines whether or not to lose the normal symbol by electronic lottery (general symbol lottery) when the game ball passes through the through chucker 66.

  The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 is configured in substantially the same manner as the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 or the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120. Specifically, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the normal symbol use lottery means 150 sets the loop counter value within a predetermined range (in the present embodiment, an integer of 0 to 65535) based on one clock of the hardware internal system clock that is periodically input. A random number generator for normal / incorrect use for generating a normal / incorrect random number that is a hardware random number by updating each one at a high speed (for example, 5 milliseconds for one loop), and a through checker In other words, based on the fact that the game ball detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 94 is input to the main control device 100, the game ball passes through 66. The random number for random use for winning / unsuccessful random number acquisition means 152 for acquiring (latching) the random number for randomness for normal / unusual occurrence generated by the random number for randomness for generating / determined for drawing 151, A normal / non-probable determination unit 153 that determines whether the normal or permissible reference is made with reference to the general / low accuracy determination table 153A or the general / high accuracy determination table 153B; If the random number acquisition means 152 for normal / unusual acquisition acquires the random number for normal / unusual during the operation of the electric tulip 63 based on the general-purpose, the predetermined random number for normal / non-specific is determined by a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). ), The random number holding means 154 for normal / incorrect use for storing the random number as a reserved ball random number related to the normal symbol using the RAM of the main control device 100.

  That is, the normal symbol use lottery means 150 is a means for performing a general drawing lottery related to success / failure when the game ball passes through the through chucker 66.

  The common figure low-accuracy determination table 153A and the common figure high-accuracy determination table 153B prescribe the correspondence relationship between the random numbers for rejecting the common figure and the common figure and lose, and the specific contents are not shown. However, the winning probability per ordinary figure according to the ordinary figure high-accuracy determination table 153B is set to 1 / 1.1, for example, and the winning probability per ordinary figure according to the ordinary figure low-accuracy determination table 153A is 1/120. Is set. In other words, the normal figure high-accuracy determination table 153B is set to have a much higher probability of winning per normal figure than the normal figure low-accuracy determination table 153A. Wins per figure.

  In the following, for convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol low / high probability determination table 153A is used in the normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 to determine whether or not the base symbol is hit or lost is referred to as “normal low probability”. A gaming state in which the time determination table 153B is used to determine the hit or loss of the usual figure is referred to as “ordinary figure high probability”.

  The electric tulip control means 170 shown in FIG. 4 energizes the solenoid 63A of the electric tulip 63 when elected in the electronic lottery (ordinary drawing lottery) by the normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150, and the electric tulip 63 is energized. 63 opens and closes a pair of blade members.

  The electric tulip control means 170 opens the electric tulip 63 twice in an opening time of, for example, 2.9 seconds with respect to one general figure in the normal figure high accuracy. The electric tulip 63 is opened once with an opening time of 0.2 seconds per hit.

  In the ordinary high accuracy, as described above, the electronic tulip 63 is opened twice for 2.9 seconds based on the winning in the electronic symbol lottery means 150 for the normal symbol. If the player launches a game ball on the right side of the game board 30, the second start prize port 62 can be easily awarded a game ball. With the award balls that are paid out based on the winning of 62, even if the game balls are fired to the game area 31, it is possible to play the game without reducing the number of game balls for firing.

  That is, if the game ball can be passed to the through chucker 66, the electric tulip 63 is easily opened, and the player can easily win the game ball to the second start winning opening 62 ( Supported) (so-called electric support state).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the game mode control means 180 refers to the game mode setting table 180A and sets the number of games related to special figure high accuracy and normal figure high accuracy in each game mode.

  The game state setting table 180A defines the correspondence relationship between the types of special symbols, the types of game modes, and the number of games related to special figure high accuracy and general figure high accuracy.

  Regarding the winning probability of the special symbol lottery, when the special symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol A and the normal symbol B, the special symbol low probability is set after the winning game is ended. When the special symbol winning symbol is the probability variation symbol A, the probability variation symbol B, the probability variation symbol C, and the probability variation symbol D, the special symbol high probability is set after the winning game ends. When shifting to special figure high accuracy, special figure high accuracy is set only during the period until the number of consecutive special drawing lotteries reaches a predetermined upper limit number of rotations (99 times in the present embodiment). When the special figure winning does not occur during the period until the number reaches 99, the special figure lottery is set from the next special figure lottery.

  Regarding the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery, when the special symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol A, the normal symbol low probability is set after the winning game ends. If the special symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, the probability variation symbol B, the probability variation symbol C, and the probability variation symbol D, the normal symbol high probability is set after the winning game ends. However, in the case of the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, and the probability variation symbol B, the period until the number of consecutive special symbol lotteries reaches a predetermined number (49 in the present embodiment) shorter than the upper limit number of revolutions of the special symbol accuracy. If the special drawing lottery is not established during the period until the number of consecutive special drawing lotteries reaches 49, the special drawing lottery will be reduced from the next special drawing lottery. Set to On the other hand, in the case of the probability variation symbol C and the probability variation symbol D, the special symbol lottery is set only for the period until the number of consecutive special symbol lotteries reaches the same number (99 times) as the upper limit rotation number of the special symbol accuracy. If the special drawing lottery does not occur during the period until the number of consecutive special drawing lottery reaches 99 times, the special drawing lottery is set with low accuracy from the next special drawing lottery. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol A corresponds to the non-high probability transition winning symbol that shifts to the normal symbol low probability state after the end of the game, and the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, the probability variation symbol B, the probability variation symbol C and The probability variation symbol D is equivalent to the symbol for winning a high probability transition that shifts to the common symbol high probability state after the end of the game.

  The game mode control means 180 refers to the game mode setting table 180A, so that the game mode corresponding to the type per special figure derived as a result of the lottery by the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery ( Transition to normal mode, chance mode, large chance mode, or extra large chance mode is executed after the winning game is over. Then, after the winning game is finished, the game in the game mode after the transition is started.

  Next, the fluctuation display control means 130 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

  Main controller 100 transmits a predetermined command to sub-controller 200 at a predetermined transmission timing. Specifically, when starting to display the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the game state at the time of the variation start (the current game mode set by the game mode control means 180 described above) is confirmed. A game state confirmation designation command to be designated, a symbol designation command for designating the determined fixed special symbol, and a variation pattern designation command for designating the determined special diagram variation pattern No (variation time) are transmitted. When the special symbol winning symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol, the opening command 1 is transmitted. The open / close pattern of the attacker device 65 (the type per special figure that occurs) is determined according to the first passage of the game ball to the first gate 85 or the second gate 86 after the special symbol winning symbol is displayed. Is started, an opening command 2 for designating a confirmed opening / closing pattern is transmitted. In addition, at the end of the hit game, an ending command, a game state designation command for designating a game state after the win game (the game mode to be transferred), and the number of games to continue the special figure high accuracy in the case of special high accuracy ( Special figure high-accuracy rotation number designation command for specifying the upper limit rotation speed of special figure fluctuation (99 rotations as shown in FIG. 10 in this embodiment), and a game that continues normal figure high-precision in the case of normal figure high accuracy A common high-accuracy rotation number designation command for designating the number of times (49 rotations or 99 rotations as shown in FIG. 10 in this embodiment) is transmitted to each sub-control device 200.

In the RAM of the sub-control device 200, areas for storing ON / OFF of the normal high-accuracy flag FG1, the informed flag FG2, and the pre-forgetting informing flag FG3 are set in advance.

  The sub control device 200 recognizes the gaming state at that time by the gaming state confirmation designation command received from the main control device 100, and the result of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery by the symbol designation command (per special figure). And a special symbol (determined special symbol), and the variation pattern designation command recognizes the variation start timing of the special symbol and the special symbol variation pattern No (variation time). Further, the sub-control device 200 recognizes the start of the specific game standby period by the opening command 1 received from the main control device 100, recognizes the end of the specific game standby period and the start of the winning game by the opening command 2, and receives the ending command. Recognizes the end of the hit game, recognizes the game state that transitions after the hit game by the game state designation command, and recognizes the upper limit rotation speed of the special figure variation that continues the special figure high accuracy by the special figure high-precision revolution designation command. Then, the upper limit rotation speed of the special figure fluctuation that continues the normal map high accuracy is recognized by the general map high accuracy rotation number designation command.

  The background determination means 210 is the transmission information from the main control device 100, the special symbol per lot related to the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery, or the special symbol type, the special symbol variation pattern No, the current The effect control means 230 determines the background to be displayed on the effect display device 50 based on the game mode.

  The background determination unit 210 includes a background table 210A that predefines the correspondence between the game mode type and the background image type, and refers to the background table 210A to display the background image 54 (displayed on the effect display device 50). (Shown in FIG. 18) is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the background table 210A, a normal background image is associated with a normal mode, a chance mode background image is associated with a chance mode, and a large chance background image is associated with a large chance mode. An oversized chance background image is associated with the mode in advance. These background images are easy to distinguish, so the player can determine the current game mode by looking at the background images.

  Further, the sub-control device 200 (the effect control means 230) determines the type of special symbol when the result of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery that is transmission information from the main control device 100 is per special symbol ( Normal symbol A, normal symbol B, probability variation symbol A, probability variation symbol B, probability variation symbol C, probability variation symbol D), first special symbol variation pattern (first special diagram variation pattern No1 to No4, and first special symbol variation) One of the patterns No11 to No17) or the second special figure fluctuation pattern (second special figure fluctuation pattern No1 to No4 and one of the second special figure fluctuation patterns No11 to No18), The effect display device 50 is controlled so that the first effect symbol, the first special symbol, the second effect symbol, and the second special symbol start to change in synchronization with each other and stop as the change time elapses.

  The sub-control device 200, based on the information related to the display of the effect symbol transmitted from the main control device 100, stops and displays the first effect symbol and the second effect symbol, that is, the stop symbols of both effect symbols. Is to decide.

  Specifically, the sub-control device 200 determines that the type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol at the time of the special symbol is determined as the normal symbol A or the normal symbol B in any game mode. Is one of “222”, “444”, “666”, and “888” determined as a stop symbol of the first effect symbol or the second effect symbol by electronic lottery.

  When the type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined as the probability variation symbol A or the probability variation symbol B, any one of “111”, “333”, “555”, and “999” is selected. The stop symbol of the first effect symbol or the second special symbol is determined by electronic lottery.

  When the first special symbol or the second special symbol type is determined to be the probability variation symbol C, any one of “123”, “456”, and “789” is selected by electronic lottery as the first effect symbol or The stop symbol of the second special symbol is determined.

  When the type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol D, “777” is determined as the stop symbol of the first effect symbol or the second effect symbol.

  The sub-control device 200 is used when the result of the electronic lottery (first special symbol lottery, second special symbol lottery) by the first special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 and the second special symbol success / failure lottery means 120 is lost. If the production pattern is reach, the reach number “121” or “454”, which is different from the other two only in the middle of the three numbers, becomes the stop design of the production design, or When the production pattern is not reach, the three numbers are determined by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of losing stop symbols prepared in advance so that all three numbers are different.

  Further, the effect pattern selection means 220 is a first special figure fluctuation pattern (first special figure fluctuation pattern No) or a second special figure fluctuation pattern (second special figure fluctuation pattern No.) determined by the fluctuation display control means 130 described above. ) And the result of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery (per first special symbol, per second special symbol or lose) the variation pattern of the first special symbol or the second special symbol ).

  The effect pattern selection means 220 is a first effect pattern table 221 that defines the correspondence between the first special figure variation pattern No and the effect pattern type, and the correspondence between the second special figure variation pattern No and the effect pattern type. A second effect pattern table 222 that defines the relationship is provided, and the effect patterns of the first effect symbol and the second effect symbol are selected with reference to the effect pattern table 221; 222.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the first effect pattern table 221 in which the effect pattern of the first effect symbol is defined is configured by an effect pattern table 221A for losing and an effect pattern table 221B for special drawings.

  In the losing effect pattern table 221A shown in FIG. 16A, the first special figure fluctuation pattern No11 is associated with the loss fluctuation A (fluctuation time 12 seconds) in advance, and the first special figure fluctuation pattern No12 is lost. Fluctuation B (fluctuation time 12 seconds) is associated in advance, middle reach A (fluctuation time 60 seconds) is associated with first special figure fluctuation pattern No13, and long reach is associated with first special figure fluctuation pattern No14. A (fluctuation time of 90 seconds) is associated with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No. 15 and the loss fluctuation C (fluctuation time of 30 seconds) is associated with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No. 16 with the short reach A ( Variation time 30 seconds) is associated with the first special figure variation pattern No17, and the variation variation D (variation time 495 seconds) is associated with it.

  In the special pattern per effect (per first special figure) pattern 221B shown in FIG. 16B, middle reach A (variation time 60 seconds) is associated with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No1 in advance. Middle reach B (variation time 60 seconds) is associated with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No2 in advance, and middle reach C (variation time 60 seconds) is associated with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No3 in advance. Long reach A (variation time 90 seconds) is associated in advance with the first special figure fluctuation pattern No4.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the second effect pattern table 222 in which the effect pattern of the second effect symbol is defined includes a loss effect effect pattern table 222A and a special effect per effect pattern table 222B.

  In the loss production pattern table 222A shown in FIG. 17A, the second special figure fluctuation pattern No11 is associated with the loss fluctuation A (fluctuation time 120 seconds) in advance, and the second special figure fluctuation pattern No12 is lost. The fluctuation B (fluctuation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance, the second special figure fluctuation pattern No13 is associated with the loss fluctuation C (fluctuation time 600 seconds), and the second special figure fluctuation pattern No14 is lost. D (fluctuation time of 900 seconds) is associated, the second special figure fluctuation pattern No15 is associated with short reach A (fluctuation time of 45 seconds), and the second special figure fluctuation pattern No16 is associated with the loss fluctuation E ( Fluctuation time 45 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation pattern No. 17 and the loss fluctuation F (variation time 45 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation. Nope fluctuations G (change time 5 seconds) is associated with the turn No18.

  In the special pattern per second (per second special figure) effect pattern table 222B shown in FIG. 17B, middle reach A (fluctuation time 60 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation pattern No1 in advance. Middle reach B (variation time 60 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation pattern No2 in advance, and middle reach C (variation time 60 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation pattern No3 in advance. Long reach A (variation time 90 seconds) is associated with the second special figure fluctuation pattern No4 in advance.

  The effect pattern selection means 220 is the result of the first special symbol variation pattern and the first special symbol lottery transmitted from the main control device 100 when the effect control device 230 causes the effect display device 50 to variably display the first effect symbol ( The first special figure variation pattern (first special figure fluctuation) by referring to any of the tables (for special figure or for detachment) that constitute the first effect pattern table 221 based on the first special figure or loss) An effect pattern corresponding to the pattern No) is determined.

  Further, the effect pattern selection means 220 is configured to display the second special symbol variation pattern and the second special symbol lottery transmitted from the main control device 100 when the effect control device 230 causes the effect display device 50 to variably display the second effect symbols. Based on the result (per second map or miss), the second special pattern variation pattern (second special pattern) is referred to by referring to any table (for special chart or out) for the second effect pattern table 222. The effect pattern corresponding to the figure variation pattern No) is determined.

  The image of the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern selection means 220 appropriately includes other images such as the character 53 in addition to the effect symbol S1, and an effect image is displayed as an effect image by superimposing the effect pattern image on the background image 54. It is displayed on the device 50.

  The first effect symbol and the second effect symbol whose change has been started by the sub-control device 200 start to change according to the respective effect patterns, and stop the first special symbol and the second special symbol as the change time elapses. The display is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery substantially in synchronization with the time.

  Then, the stop state of the first special symbol and the first effect symbol, or the second special symbol and the second effect symbol that are stopped and displayed are the results of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery per the first special symbol, respectively. Or, in the case of a mode showing the second special figure, the hit game described above is started, and the game mode after the hit game is shifted depending on the type of the special figure.

  The flag control means 240 controls the ON / OFF of the normal high-accuracy flag FG1, the informed flag FG2, and the pre-forget forgetting notification flag FG3, respectively.

  Regarding the common figure high-accuracy flag FG1, when the gaming state confirmation designation command and the gaming state designation command received from the main control device 100 are commands to designate the common figure high-precision state, the flag control means 240 Set FG1 to ON. In addition, when the gaming state confirmation designation command and the gaming state designation command received from the main control device 100 are commands for designating a general low-accuracy state, or at the end of the winning game, it is designated by a general high-accuracy rotation number designation command. When the number of special symbol fluctuations since the end of the hit game exceeds the upper limit number of special figure fluctuations, the common figure high-accuracy flag FG1 is set to OFF.

  Regarding the informed flag FG2, the flag control means 240 is informed when the ordinary high accuracy flag FG1 is ON and the effect control means 230 displays a warning image 52 (shown in FIG. 19) described later. The flag FG2 is set to ON. Further, when the usual figure high-accuracy flag FG1 is set to OFF, the informed flag FG2 is set to OFF.

  With respect to the forgotten pre-flag notification flag FG3, the flag control means 240 is the main controller 100 when the symbol designation command received from the main controller 100 is a command for designating the first type and the informed flag FG2 is OFF. The pre-forget-notification flag FG3 is set to ON at the timing when the command for designating the first type is received. Also, when the effect control means 230 finishes executing the display of the alert image 52, the forgetting to pre-cursor notification flag FG3 is set to OFF.

  That is, when the winning game is continued several times through the normal high accuracy state, the alert image 52 is displayed from the first type on the condition that the alert image 52 is not displayed once in the period. During the period until it is displayed, the forgotten precursor notification flag FG3 is turned on.

  When the sub control device 200 receives the opening command 1 from the main control device 100, the notification timing determination unit 250 determines whether or not it is a notification timing that prompts removal of the prepaid card 71 from the CR unit 70. If the pre-forgetting notification flag FG3 is ON when the opening command 1 is received, the period until the opening command 2 is received (the specific game waiting period from the stop display of the special symbol winning symbol to the confirmation of the opening / closing pattern) is the notification timing. If the pre-forget-notification flag FG3 is OFF, it is determined that it is not the notification timing.

  Therefore, the specific game standby period immediately after the first type (per the first first type when the winning game is repeated a plurality of times through the usual high accuracy state) is determined as the notification timing, and the second The specific game standby period immediately after the classification is not determined as the notification timing. In addition, when a winning game is continuously generated a plurality of times through a normal high-accuracy state, a specific game standby period related to any one winning game among the plurality of winning games (of the one winning game) When the specific game standby period immediately before the occurrence) is determined as the notification timing, the specific game standby period related to the hit game that occurs after the determination is not determined as the notification timing.

  The effect control means 230 displays on the effect display device 50 a guide image that prompts the player to launch a game ball onto the gate device 80, as shown in FIG.

  For example, when the special symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol A, the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A or the probability variation symbol B, the effect control means 230 displays the guidance image 55 shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B for a predetermined time ( In this embodiment, the display is switched every 10 seconds). A guide image 55 shown in FIG. 18A is an image displayed for 10 seconds when the sorting member 84 tilts to the right and the gate entrance 81 communicates with the first passage 82, and the guide image shown in FIG. The image 55 is an image displayed for 10 seconds when the sorting member 84 tilts to the left and the gate inlet 81 communicates with the second passage 83.

  When the special symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol A, the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A or the probability variation symbol B, and the game ball passes through the first passage 82 (first gate 85), the special symbol symbol winning symbol is the normal symbol. If A or probability variation symbol A, 4R prize ball opening / closing is determined as the opening / closing pattern, and if the special symbol winning symbol is normal symbol B or probability variation symbol B, 16R prize ball opening / closing is determined as the opening / closing pattern. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the second passage 83 (first gate 86), the special symbol winning symbol is any of the normal symbol A, the normal symbol B, the probability variation symbol A, or the fixed symbol B. 10R prize ball opening / closing is determined as a pattern.

  Since the player cannot easily determine the type of the special symbol winning symbol, it is determined in advance whether the 4R prize ball opening / closing is decided or the 16R prize ball opening / closing is decided by passing the game ball through the first gate 85. Can not do it. For this reason, in the guidance image 55 displayed during a period when the game ball can pass through the first gate 85, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), when the “challenge type”, “16Ror4R”, and “right gate” are passed. An explanation such as “16R or 4R is fixed” is displayed.

  When the game ball passes through the second gate 86, the 10R prize ball is opened and closed uniformly. Therefore, the guide image 55 displayed during the period in which the game ball can pass through the second gate 86 is shown in FIG. ), Explanations such as “careful type”, “10R”, and “10R is fixed when passing the right gate” are displayed.

  By viewing the guide image 55, the player can select either the first gate 85 or the second gate 86 and pass the game ball.

  When the special symbol winning symbol is the probability variation symbol C or the probability variation symbol D, the effect control means 230 simply displays a guidance image that prompts the player to launch the game ball onto the gate device 80.

  When the opening / closing pattern is confirmed and the specific game waiting period is ended (when the opening command 2 is received), the effect control means 230 determines the number of rounds of the hit game immediately after that (the opening / closing pattern indicated by the received opening command 2). An image indicating the corresponding number of rounds) is displayed on the effect display device 50. However, in the case of non-prize ball opening / closing (probability variation pattern C), since the winning ball is not opened / closed, an image indicating the number of rounds is not displayed.

  When the forgotten prepaid flag FG3 is ON, the effect control means 230 keeps the prepaid card 71 from the CR unit 70 as shown in FIG. 19 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) within the specific game standby period. A predetermined alert image 52 that prompts the user to take out is displayed together with the guide image 55. At this time, the guide image 55 is reduced and displayed. In the alert image 52, for example, a sentence such as “Please be careful about forgetting to take a prepaid card or theft”, a diagram showing a state in which the prepaid card 71 is taken out from the CR unit 70, and the like are displayed. Note that the alert image 52 may be displayed in the guide image. The timing for displaying the alert image 52 is preferably the initial stage within the specific game waiting period.

  Next, processing executed by the main controller 100 and the sub controller 200 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 20, when the main control device 100 starts the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the game that specifies the game state (current game mode) at the start of the variation is confirmed. A state confirmation designation command, a symbol designation command for designating the determined confirmed special symbol, and a variation pattern designation command for designating the determined special diagram variation pattern No (variation time) are transmitted (step S1).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, main controller 100 starts a special special symbol variation special symbol (special symbol winning symbol) stop display when a special symbol variation finalization process (stop process) is started in the case of a special symbol. The time is continued (execution termination process is executed) (step S11).

  Next, the special figure winning flag FGM is turned ON (step S12), and the opening command 1 is transmitted to the sub-control device 200 (step S13). Thereby, the specific game standby period is started.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate device 80 (step S14). When the game ball passes through the gate device 80 (step S14: YES), the opening command 2 is transmitted to the sub-control device 200. (Step S15), a winning game is executed (Step S16), and this process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the sub-control device 200 determines whether or not the opening command 1 has been received (step S21). When the opening control command 1 is received (step S21: YES), the forgetting to pre-cursor flag 22 is turned on. It is determined whether or not (step S22).

  When the forgotten preaware flag 22 is ON (step S22: YES), a guidance image and a warning image 52 are displayed (step S23), and it is determined whether or not the opening command 2 has been received (step S24). Until the opening command 2 is received, the display of the guidance image and the alert image 52 is continued (step S23). When the opening command 2 is received (step S24: YES), the display of the guide image and the alert image 52 is terminated, The pre-forget-notification flag FG3 is set to OFF (step S25), and this process ends.

  On the other hand, when the forgetting to pre-cursor flag 22 is OFF (step S22: NO), the guidance image is displayed without displaying the alert image 52 (step S26), and it is determined whether or not the opening command 2 has been received. (Step S27). The display of the guidance image is continued until the opening command 2 is received (step S26). When the opening command 2 is received (step S27: YES), the display of the guidance image is terminated, and the forgetting to pre-cursor notification flag FG3 is set to OFF. (Step S25), and this process is terminated.

  In this way, it is possible to pay out more than a predetermined number of prize balls, and be careful after the end of the first type specific game where there is a high possibility of consuming the prize balls obtained without using the prepaid card 71 in the subsequent game. An arousal image 52 is displayed, and it is impossible to pay out a predetermined number or more of the prize balls. In the subsequent game, there is a high possibility that the prepaid card 71 will be used. Since it is not displayed, it is possible to prompt the player to take out the prepaid card 71 accurately.

  In addition, the alert image 52 is displayed within the specific game waiting period after the special figure winning symbol is derived and displayed but before the start of the specific game, so that the alert effect is high and the player does not feel bothersome. The player can be urged to take out the prepaid card 71 at a proper notification timing.

  Further, in the case where the winning game is continuously generated several times through the usual high accuracy state, the alert image 52 is not displayed after the alert image 52 is displayed once, so the alert image 52 is displayed many times. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoying.

  Furthermore, since the warning image 52 is displayed using the effect display process in the sub-control device 200 without changing the processing in the main control device 100, it can be easily applied to various types of pachinko machines, High versatility.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment which applied the invention made by this inventor and its modification were described, this invention is limited by the description and drawing which make a part of indication of this invention by these embodiment and modification. There is nothing.

  For example, the caution image 52 may be displayed during a specific game standby period related to all types of hit games regardless of the number of prize balls, and the display of the caution image 52 may be interrupted within one specific game standby period. Therefore, it may be performed a plurality of times.

  Further, the number of specific gates is not limited to two as in the above embodiment, and may be one or three or more.

  Further, the opening / closing pattern determination means 190 executes an electronic lottery triggered by the first passage of the game ball to the specific gate (gate device 80) after the special figure winning symbol is derived and displayed, and the result of the lottery The open / close pattern may be determined based on the above.

  That is, it should be added that other embodiments, examples, operation techniques, and the like made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments or modifications are all included in the scope of the present invention.
