Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine.

Conventionally, a big hit lottery is executed based on a random number value acquired at the time of winning a start opening (hereinafter referred to as a start win), and after the big hit lottery, in an effect display device including a liquid crystal display or the like, for example, symbol variation due to three symbols There are known pachinko machines that perform a symbol variation effect accompanied by a symbol.
In the symbol variation effect, the result of the jackpot lottery is notified to the player by the final stop mode of the three symbols.

  The random number value used for the jackpot lottery can be stored with the maximum number of reservations as an upper limit until the start condition of the jackpot lottery based on the random number value is satisfied. The number is called the pending number. For example, when a new start winning occurs during the symbol variation effect, if the current number of holds is less than the maximum number of holds, random number acquisition and hold storage processing are executed, while the current number of holds is When the number is less than the maximum number of reservations, random number acquisition and storage processing are not executed.

There is also known a pachinko machine equipped with a so-called hold prefetching notice function for notifying the degree of expectation of a big hit based on hold storage information before a big hit lottery start condition is established (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Patent Document 1 generates pre-determination information related to the result of the big hit lottery and the type of the symbol variation effect based on the stored storage information before the start condition of the big hit lottery is established, On the basis of this, a pachinko machine that determines whether or not to execute a hold prefetch notice is disclosed.

According to the pachinko machine described in Patent Document 1, not only when the pre-judgment information related to the result of the jackpot lottery is a win, but also in the case of a loss, the symbols that are executed when the start condition for the jackpot lottery is satisfied In order to determine whether or not to execute the hold prefetch notice based on the prior determination information related to the variation effect, for example, when the prior determination information indicates that the symbol variation effect with a high degree of jackpot expectation is performed. It will only be possible to execute a hold-ahead notice.
This prevents, for example, a symbol variation effect with a low jackpot expectation from being executed in a symbol variation effect that is executed when the start condition of the big hit lottery is satisfied even though the hold prefetch notice is executed. As a result, the accuracy of the reservation prefetch notice can be improved.
Special No. 5166113 Publication

  However, the conventional reservation pre-reading notice has a problem that it is limited to the big hit expectation notice as described in Patent Document 1.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can further enhance the interest in the reserved prefetching notice by adding a new notice element other than the jackpot expectation degree to the hold prefetching notice.

  Means employed by the present invention to solve the above problems will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the drawings will be appended in parentheses for convenience in the following, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated forms.

  The pachinko machine (1) according to the present invention comprises a storage device for storing the random number information acquired at the time of winning the start opening (31, 32) up to the maximum number of reservations until the lottery start condition is satisfied, Whether to grant the right to execute a big hit game with the opening of the big winning opening (38) based on one random number value information that satisfies the lottery start condition among one or more random number value information stored in the storage means A jackpot lottery means for executing a jackpot lottery for determining whether or not the jackpot game executing means for executing the jackpot game on condition that the jackpot lottery is won, and when the predetermined game condition is satisfied, the jackpot game After the completion of the game, the probability variation state starting means for starting the probability variation gaming state in which the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is higher than the normal gaming state, and the number of times that the winning hit in the probability variation gaming state is missed without winning the jackpot lottery is S On the condition that led to the number, and a, a probability variation state ending means for shifting to the normal game state to exit the probability variation gaming state.

  Further, the pachinko machine (1) according to the present invention has an ST number lottery means for lottering the ST number based on the random number information of 1 for which the lottery start condition is satisfied when the result of the big hit lottery is a win. Whether or not the right to execute the jackpot game is granted based on one random number value information stored in the holding storage means and one random number value information for which the lottery start condition has not yet been established. A first lottery means for performing a virtual lottery first preliminary lottery process and a second preliminary lottery process for lottering a virtual ST number regardless of the lottery result of the first preliminary lottery, Before notifying the player of the result of the jackpot lottery based on the random number information, the virtual ST number that is lottery by the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means based on the random number information of the one is suggested. ST count prediction It is characterized by comprising a means.

According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, it is possible to give a new interest of suggesting the number of STs to the conventional reservation pre-reading notice that has been limited to the notification of the degree of jackpot expectation.
In addition, the ST number lottery by the ST number lottery means is executed only when a big hit lottery based on random number value information that satisfies the lottery start condition is won.
However, the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means of the present invention is based on the random number information of one for which the lottery start condition has not yet been established, regardless of the lottery result of the first preliminary lottery. Since the lottery is performed, not only the time of big hit fluctuation but also a notice indicating the number of STs is possible.
As an effect of suggesting the ST number with respect to the variation in loss, for example, if the virtual ST number lottered in the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means is a relatively large number, Until the lottery start condition for numerical information is satisfied, it can be expected that the player's expectation for the big hit will be increased. It can be expected to increase.

  As a specific configuration, an effect display device that displays an effect related to a game, and a hold information display unit that displays a symbol corresponding to each of the random value information stored in the hold storage means on the effect display device; The ST number notifying means includes, in the random number value information, the notice indicating the virtual ST number that is lottered by the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means based on the random number value information of one. The corresponding hold information display means displays it in association with the graphic displayed on the effect display device.

  According to the above specific configuration, since the notice indicating the ST number is displayed in association with the symbol corresponding to each of the random value information stored in the holding storage means, the correspondence between the random value information and the notice Is visually clear and easy for the player to understand.

As a specific configuration, the holding storage unit stores at least a first random value and a second random value as the random value information, and the big hit lottery unit executes the big hit lottery based on the first random number value. The ST number lottery means determines the ST number based on the second random number value,
In the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means, the virtual ST number is lottery based on the second random number value.

According to the above specific configuration, not only the number of STs can be notified regardless of the big win lottery, but also the ST number lottery means in the virtual number of ST lottery logic in the second preliminary lottery process. By adopting the lottery logic, as the number of virtual STs, the exact number of STs when winning the big hit lottery is grasped, and the number of STs assigned when the big hit lottery is temporarily lost is grasped. It becomes possible.
Accordingly, the ST number notifying means can suggest an accurate ST number or a rough ST number.

  Further, as a specific configuration, there is provided a determining means for determining whether or not to make a notice suggesting the ST number by the ST number notifying means, and the determining means is based on one lottery value information in the probability variation gaming state. When the virtual lottery result by the first preliminary lottery process of the pre-lottery means indicates winning, the current probable change gaming state at the time of notifying the player of the result of the big hit lottery based on the one lottery value information The comparison result between the ST remaining number of times until the set number of STs and the virtual number of STs lottered by the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery means based on the one lottery value information. Based on this, it is determined whether or not to make a notice suggesting the ST number by the ST number notice means.

For example, when a probability variation jackpot is allocated during a probability variation game, the effective number of STs changes before and after the jackpot game. According to the specific configuration described above, in order to determine whether or not to make a notice related to the ST count in consideration of the effective ST count before the jackpot (ST remaining count) and the ST count given after the jackpot, For example, it is possible to perform a control such as actively notifying when the effective number of STs increases, but not notifying when it decreases.
As a result, it is possible to prevent a notice that may discourage the player.

  As a more specific configuration, the ST number notifying unit may be configured so that the preliminary lottery from the first notice mode suggesting a number smaller than the virtual ST number lottered by the second preliminary lottery process of the preliminary lottery unit. The virtual ST number lottered by the second preliminary lottery process of the means or the second notice mode suggesting the ST number lottery by the ST number lottery means is switched at a predetermined timing.

  According to the above specific configuration, for example, the first notice mode is notified of the ST number less than the second notice mode, and the second notice mode is notified of the more accurate ST number than the first notice mode. By doing so, the expectation for the number of STs can be maintained for a long time.

  According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, since the number of STs can be added to the reserved prefetching notice as a new notice element other than the big hit expectation, the interest for the reserved prefetching notice can be further enhanced.

On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S601, the process proceeds to step S602, where it is determined whether or not the number of pending drawings is four. In addition to adding 1 to the number of holdings, in the next step S604, the current value of the drawing random number R5 is stored in the drawing holding storage area of the RAM 113, and the process returns to step S601. Also when it is determined YES in step S602, the process returns to step S601.
Here, the common lottery random number R5 is a counter-type soft random number that is sequentially updated in the game program Pg, like the jackpot type lottery random number R2 and the special figure variable time lottery random number R3, Has a numerical range.

<Normal map processing> (Fig. 7)
In the general map process shown in FIG. 7, the general map lottery process based on the general map lottery random number R5 acquired when the game ball passes the gate 33, and the general map display device ND according to the result of the general map lottery process Perform display control.
First, in step S701, it is determined whether or not the number of pending maps is 0. If it is determined as YES, the same determination is repeated in step S701. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S702 to subtract 1 from the number of pending drawings, and in step S703, a saving process for saving the drawing lot random number R5 to be drawn to the work storage area, and The processing for releasing the reserved map storage area vacated by the saving process is performed. In the next step S704, an ordinary drawing lottery process is performed.
Specifically, in the general symbol lottery process, the general symbol lottery process related to the symbol pattern to be derived to the normal symbol display device ND and the general symbol variable time lottery process related to the normal symbol variable time are performed. The contents of each lottery process will be described later.

In the next step S705, the normal map change is started.
In the next step S706, it is determined whether or not the normal time fluctuation time determined in step S704 has elapsed. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S706. If it is determined as YES in step S706, the process proceeds to step S707 to stop the fluctuation of the normal map, and the symbol in the mode determined in step S704 is displayed on the universal map display device ND. Then, in the next step 708, it is determined whether or not the normal drawing lottery process has been won. If it is determined to be yes, the process proceeds to step S709, and the normal game process is executed, whereas if it is determined to be no. Returns to step S701.

<Normal game processing> (Fig. 8)
In the normal game process shown in FIG. 8, the normal electric combination executed when the symbol indicating that the general drawing lottery is won is stopped and displayed on the general diagram display device ND after the normal diagram change in the general diagram display device ND. Control relating to the opening of the object 32a is executed.
First, in step S801, the operation pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is determined. Specifically, the operation pattern is determined in accordance with the winning symbol derived to the ordinary display device ND.
Then, in the next step S802, the count number is set to 0, the process proceeds to the next step S803, and the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is started in accordance with the operation pattern determined in step S801.

  After the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a, it is determined in step S804 whether the winning sensor 32S of the second starting port 32 has detected a winning. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S805 and the count number is obtained. In addition to incrementing by 1, it is determined in the next step S806 whether the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. If YES is determined in step S806, the process proceeds to step S808, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is terminated, and the process returns. For example, the maximum count is set to 10 balls.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in steps S804 and S806, it is determined in step S807 whether or not the operation pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is completed. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S808. In the meantime, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 32a is finished and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO, the process returns to step S804.

Here, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the short-time gaming state means a state in which winning to the second start port 32 is easier than in the non-short-time gaming state (normal gaming state).
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the gate 33 for starting the normal symbol lottery process is provided only on the right board surface, the gate 33 and the second start port 32 are provided during the short-time gaming state. The right-handed aiming and the left-handed aiming at the first starting port 31 are performed during the non-time-saving gaming state.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the regular drawing lottery is changed according to whether or not the game is in a short time.
Specifically, during a non-time-saving game, when the value of the normal lottery random number R5 is 1, it is determined that the game is won, and in other cases, it is determined that the game is lost. Therefore, the probability of winning the regular drawing lottery during non-time-saving games is 1/252.
During the short-time game, when the value of the regular lottery random number R5 is 1 to 250, it is determined to be winning, and when it is 0 and 251, it is determined to be off. Therefore, the probability of winning the regular drawing lottery during the short-time game is 250/252.
In addition, the operation pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 32a at the time of winning the normal drawing lottery is to perform 1.5 seconds of opening three times with a 1 second interval in between.
Furthermore, the normal time change time during non-time-saving games is set to 12 seconds, and the normal time change time during time-short games is set to 3 seconds.

It should be noted that the layout of the gate 33 and the second starting port 32, the winning probability of the normal drawing lottery during the short-time gaming state, the normal figure variation time, and the opening mode of the ordinary electric accessory 32a at the time of the normal drawing winning are non-short time games It is not limited to the method of a present Example about how to change compared with a state, It can change suitably.
For example, the gate 33 is also arranged on the left board surface, and the second start port 32 is arranged at a position where a winning can be aimed regardless of left-handed / right-handed (for example, between the first start port 31 and the big winning port 38). May be.
In addition, instead of / in addition to the method of greatly improving the winning probability of the regular drawing lottery during the short-time gaming state during the non-short-time gaming state (normal gaming state) It may be possible to adopt a method such as significantly shortening compared to the state and / or increasing the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 32a in the normal winning in the short-time gaming state compared to the non-short-time gaming state. .

In the special drawing process shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is satisfied, and when the lottery start condition is satisfied, the storage information to be drawn is specified and specified The first special figure process or the second special figure process is started based on the stored information.
First, in step S901, it is determined whether a big hit game is in progress, the first special figure is changing, or the second special figure is changing. If any one is determined as YES, the same determination is repeated in step S901. That is, the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is a case where the big hit game is not being played and neither the first special figure nor the second special figure is changing. If it is determined NO in step S901, that is, if it is determined that the lottery start condition relating to the special symbol is satisfied, it is first determined in step S902 whether or not the second special figure holding number is zero.

  If it is determined YES in step S902, the second special figure process is executed in step S903, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S902, the process proceeds to step S904, and it is determined whether or not the first special figure reservation number is zero. If YES is determined in step S904, the first special figure process is executed in step S905, and the process returns. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S904, the process returns to step S902.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when both the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number are not zero, various lottery processes and special drawings based on the reservation storage according to the second special figure. A so-called special 2-priority digestion method is employed in which the fluctuation process is prioritized over the various lottery processes and the special figure fluctuation process based on the hold storage according to the first special figure.
In addition, when there are a plurality of holdings (for example, the number of holdings of the first special figure) of the special drawing type to be determined by the above-described method, the lots are selected in the order of the storage information stored earlier (acquired first). To do.

<First special drawing process> (FIG. 10)
In the first special figure process shown in FIG. 10, various lottery processes based on the reserved storage information to be drawn for the first special figure and the symbol variation process in the first special figure display device SD1 based on the lottery result are executed. .
First, 1 is subtracted from the number of first special figure reservations at step 1001, and at the next step S1002, a process for saving the storage information for lottery and a process for releasing a free storage area are executed.
In the next step S1003, a jackpot lottery process based on the jackpot lottery random number R1 is executed.

In the next step S1004, it is determined whether or not the jackpot lottery has been won. If the answer is yes, in step S1005, the mode of the jackpot symbol to be derived to the first special figure display device SD1, that is, the jackpot type is determined. If the determination is made and the process proceeds to step S1006, on the other hand, if the determination is no, step S1005 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S1006. In step S1006, a first special figure variation time lottery process is executed.
The contents of the jackpot lottery process, the first special figure jackpot symbol lottery process, and the first special figure variable time lottery process will be described later.

Then, in the next step S1007, a first special figure variation start command including various lottery results is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. In step S1008, the first special figure variation is started and measurement of the variation time is started. To do.
In the next step S1009, it is determined whether or not the variable time determined in the first special figure variable time lottery process in step S1006 has elapsed. If it is determined no, the same determination is repeated in step S1009. on the other hand. If it is determined as YES in step S1009, the process proceeds to step S1010 to transmit the first special figure variation stop command to the sub-control unit 120 and to the first special figure display device SD1 in the next step S1011. The symbols in the form corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery process and the result of the first special figure big hit symbol lottery process are stopped and displayed.

  In the next step S1012, it is determined whether or not the first special figure display device SD1 has stopped the big hit symbol. If it is determined as YES, the process proceeds to step S1013 to execute the big hit game process and return. The process also returns if it is determined NO in step S1012.

<Second special drawing process> (FIG. 11)
In the second special figure process shown in FIG. 11, various lottery processes based on the reserved storage information to be drawn for the second special figure and the symbol variation process in the second special figure display device SD2 based on the lottery result are executed. .
First, at step 1101, the number of second special figure hold is decremented by 1, and at the next step S 1102, the lottery target hold storage information is saved and the free hold storage area is released.
In the next step S1103, a jackpot lottery process based on the jackpot lottery random number R1 is executed.

In the next step S1104, it is determined whether or not the jackpot lottery has been won. If the answer is yes, in step S1105, the mode of the jackpot symbol to be derived to the second special figure display device SD2, that is, the jackpot type is determined. If the determination is made and the process proceeds to step S1106, on the other hand, if the determination is no, step S1105 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S1106. In step S1106, a second special figure variation time lottery process is executed.
The contents of the jackpot lottery process, the second special figure jackpot symbol lottery process, and the second special figure variable time lottery process will be described later.

Then, in the next step S1107, a second special figure change start command including various lottery results is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. In step S1108, the second special figure change is started and measurement of the fluctuation time is started. To do.
In the next step S1109, it is determined whether or not the variation time determined in the second special figure variation time lottery process in step S1106 has elapsed. If it is determined no, the same determination is repeated in step S1109. on the other hand. If YES is determined in step S1109, the process proceeds to step S1110 to transmit a second special figure fluctuation stop command to the sub-control unit 120, and in the next step S1111 to the second special figure display device SD2. The symbols in a manner corresponding to the result of the jackpot lottery process and the result of the second special figure jackpot symbol lottery process are stopped and displayed.

  In the next step S1112, it is determined whether or not the second special figure display device SD2 has stopped the big hit symbol. If it is determined to be yes, the procedure goes to step S1113 to execute the big hit game process and return. The process also returns if it is determined NO in step S1112.

<Big hit game processing> (Fig. 12)
In the big hit game process shown in FIG. 12, the winning round of the big prize opening 38 is executed a plurality of times based on the fact that the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SD2. The processing related to the jackpot game to be executed is executed.
First, in step S1201, a big hit game start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. In the next step S1202, the maximum number of rounds is set, and in step S1203, the number of rounds is set to 1. Note that the maximum number of rounds is set in accordance with the mode of the jackpot symbol derived to the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SD2, that is, the jackpot type for each special figure display device.
In the next step S1204, a round release pattern corresponding to the number of rounds is set, and in step S1205, the count number is set to zero, and a big hit round is started in step S1206. Note that the round opening pattern in each jackpot round is set according to the jackpot type for each special figure display device, similarly to the maximum number of rounds.

After the big hit round starts, it is first determined in step S1207 whether the winning sensor 38S of the big winning opening 38 has detected a winning, and if it is determined to be yes, 1 is added to the count in step S1208, and the next In step S1209, it is determined whether the count number has reached the maximum count number.
If it is determined YES in step S1209, the special winning opening 38 is closed in step S1211, and the round is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1207, and if NO is determined in step S1209, it is determined in step S1210 whether or not the opening pattern of the round has ended, and if YES is determined. Closes the big winning opening 38 in step S1211, and ends the big hit round. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S1210, the process returns to step S1207 to continue the big hit round.

  In step S1212 following step S1211, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds has reached the maximum number of rounds. If it is determined that the number of rounds is NO, 1 is added to the number of rounds in step S1215, and the process returns to step S1204. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S1212, the game state setting process after the big hit game is executed in step S1213, and the big hit game end command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120 in the next step S1214. To return. The game state setting process after the big hit game will be described later.

<Large lottery processing>
In the jackpot lottery process, if the value of the lottery target jackpot lottery random number R1 matches one of the jackpot determination values determined according to the gaming state at the time of the lottery execution, it is determined that the winner is won. Judge as lost. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values is set to 12 in the normal gaming state and 120 in the probability variation gaming state. As described above, since the numerical range of the jackpot lottery random number R1 is 0 to 1199, the jackpot probability in the normal gaming state is 1/100, and the jackpot probability in the probability variation gaming state is 1/10.

<First special figure jackpot symbol lottery process> (FIG. 13 (a))
In the first special figure big hit symbol lottery process, the big hit type, that is, the mode of the big hit symbol to be derived to the first special figure display device SD1, is determined according to the value of the lottery target big hit type lottery random number R2.
As shown in FIG. 13A, when the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 is 0 to 94, the big hit type is determined as 1, and when the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 is from 95 to 99, the big hit type is determined as 2. Therefore, the distribution probability for jackpot type 1 is 95%, and the distribution probability for jackpot type 2 is 5%.
In addition, the mode of the jackpot symbol derived to the first special chart display device SD1 is set to “A” when the jackpot type is 1, and to “B” when the jackpot type is 2. The maximum number of rounds of the big hit game is set to 5 rounds regardless of the big hit type, and the ST count is set to 5 times when the big hit type is 1, and 10 times when the big hit type is 2.

<Second special figure jackpot symbol lottery process> (FIG. 13B)
In the second special figure big hit symbol lottery process, the big hit type, that is, the mode of the big hit symbol to be derived to the second special figure display device SD2 is determined according to the value of the lottery target lottery random number R2.
As shown in FIG. 13B, when the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 is 0 to 89, the big hit type is 3, when the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 is 90 to 98, the big hit type is 4, and the big hit type lottery When the value of the random number R2 is 99, the jackpot type is determined to be 5. Accordingly, the distribution probability of the big hit type 3 is 90%, the distribution probability of the big hit type 4 is 9%, and the distribution probability of the big hit type 5 is 1%.
The mode of the jackpot symbol derived to the second special chart display device SD2 is “C” when the jackpot type is 3, “D” when the jackpot type is 4, and “E” when the jackpot type is 5. Each is set. Further, the maximum number of rounds of the jackpot game is set to 5 rounds when the jackpot type is 3 or 4, and 15 rounds when the jackpot type is 5. The number of STs is set to 5 when the jackpot type is 3, 10 times when the jackpot type is 4, and until the next jackpot when the jackpot type is 5.

In addition, when the big hit lottery is lost, the mode of the lost symbol derived to the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SD2 is set to “-(bar)”.
As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, regardless of the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2, if the big hit symbol is derived, the game always shifts to the probabilistic game state after the big hit game. Therefore, the probability variation entry rate is 100%.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the first special figure big hit symbol lottery process and the first special figure big hit symbol lottery process, a normal big hit that shifts to the normal game state without shifting to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game may be provided.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the round opening pattern of the big prize opening 38 is the big prize opening when 28 seconds have passed since the opening of the big prize opening 38, regardless of the type of big hit and the number of rounds. Although the pattern which closes 38 is used, it is not restricted to this, You may set an open pattern for every big hit type and round.

Further, a specific area may be provided in the big winning opening, and the game may be shifted to the probability change game state after the big hit game is completed on condition that the game ball has passed the specific area during the big hit game.
In this case, as a big hit round opening pattern that opens the big winning opening having the specific area inside, an opening pattern that makes it impossible to win the big winning opening and an opening pattern that makes it easy to win are prepared. By differentiating the selection probability of the jackpot symbol for which an easy-to-win winning pattern is set between the jackpot at the first special chart display device SD1 and the jackpot at the second special chart display device SD2. It is possible to vary the actual probability change entry rate.
For example, as a big hit round opening pattern that opens the big winning opening having the specific area inside, the selection probability in the first special figure display device SD1 of the big hit symbol in which an opening pattern that is easy to win is set is 50%. If the selection probability in the second special figure display device SD2 is set to 100%, the substantial probability change entry rate after the big hit in the first special figure display device SD1 is 50%, and the second special figure display The substantial probability change entry rate after the big hit in the device SD2 can be set to 100%.

<Special map variable time lottery processing> (Fig. 14)
Since the logics of the first special figure variable time lottery process and the second special figure variable time lottery process are substantially the same, the logic will be described below as the special figure variable time lottery process.
In the special figure fluctuation time lottery process, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined according to the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 to be drawn, the gaming state at the time of the lottery, and the result of the big hit lottery. The special figure fluctuation time is determined according to the special figure fluctuation pattern.

FIGS. 14A to 14C show the contents of the first special figure variable time lottery process when the big hit lottery is missed during the non-time-saving game.
The “SP reach system” shown in FIG. 14 (a) indicates a variation pattern group in which an effect of expecting a big hit is executed for a relatively long time after the reach is established. On the other hand, the “non-SP reach system” refers to a variation pattern group in which reach is not established, or even if the reach is achieved, the effect of expecting the big hit ends in a relatively short time.
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, depending on the value of the special drawing fluctuation time lottery random number R3 to be drawn and the first special figure holding number at the time of the lottery, among the SP reach system and the non-SP reach system, Decide which one to execute.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 is 192 or less, the SP reach system, the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number regardless of the first special figure hold number. When the value of R3 is 367 or more, each of the non-SP reach systems is selected regardless of the number of the first special figure hold, but when the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 is 193 to 366, It is set so that either the SP reach system or the non-SP reach system is selected according to the number of reserved special figures. As a result, the SP reach type selection probability is set to be higher when the number of first special figure reservations is small than when it is large.

  As described above, the SP reach system has a relatively long special figure variation time compared to the non-SP reach system. Therefore, when the number of first special figure reservations is small, a new special map fluctuation time is required. When the holding of the holding is promoted and the number of the first special figure holding is large, the acquisition of a new holding can be suppressed by the relatively short special drawing fluctuation time.

  Next, when it is determined to execute the SP reach system, the first special figure variation pattern lottery table dedicated to the SP reach system shown in FIG. 14B, and when it is determined to execute the non-SP reach system, FIG. Using the first special figure fluctuation pattern lottery table dedicated to the non-SP reach system shown in c), the first special figure fluctuation pattern number is drawn according to the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3. Further, the first special figure fluctuation time is determined according to the first special figure fluctuation pattern number.

FIG. 14 (d) shows a first special figure variation pattern lottery table dedicated to big hits, which is used when a big hit lottery is won during non-time-saving games.
In this way, the first special figure fluctuation pattern number is drawn out and the first special figure fluctuation time is determined.

In the above, the first special figure variable time lottery process during the non-time-saving game has been described. However, in the first special figure variable time lottery process, the same special lottery during the short-time game as in FIGS. 14 (a) to (d). Another set of tables is provided, but the structure and the lottery logic are the same as in the non-short-time game, so the description is omitted.
Similarly, the structure of the various lottery tables and the lottery logic are the same as those of the first special figure variable time lottery process, and the description thereof will be omitted.

<Pending prefetch processing> (FIG. 15)
As previously described in step S405 of FIG. 4 and step S505 of FIG. 5, the hold prefetching process is executed when various lottery random numbers R1 to R3 are acquired.
In the hold prefetching process, as shown in FIG. 15, after performing the big hit lottery result prefetching process in step S1501, the special figure variation pattern prefetching process in step S1502, and the ST number prefetching process in step S1503, the above-described process is performed in step S1504. A prefetch result command including the results of various prefetch processes is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120 and the process returns.
Hereinafter, various prefetching processes will be described.

<Large winning lottery result look-ahead process>
In the jackpot lottery result prefetching process, it is determined in advance whether or not the newly acquired jackpot lottery random number R1 matches the jackpot determination value determined as winning in the jackpot lottery process described above. The number of jackpot determination values varies depending on the current gaming state, as in the jackpot lottery process.
In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the lottery logic of the jackpot lottery result prefetching process and the jackpot lottery process are set to be equal, but the former is for the purpose of a preliminary announcement, and therefore does not need to be accurate. It may be determined whether or not it matches a part of the jackpot determination value.

<Special figure variation pattern prefetching process>
In the special figure variation pattern prefetching process, when the result of the jackpot lottery result prefetching process is a loss, the first special figure fluctuation time lottery process described above based on the newly obtained special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 Alternatively, it is determined in advance whether or not the SP reach variation pattern is selected in the second special figure variation time lottery process.
For example, as described above, in the first special figure variation time lottery process during non-short-time game, as shown in FIG. 14A, any variation pattern is selected from the SP reach system / non-SP reach system. Whether or not it is determined depends on the number of the first special figure hold at the time of the lottery execution, but if the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3 is in the range of 0 to 192, Regardless of the number of first special figure hold, it is determined that the SP reach system variation pattern is selected.

As described above, in the special figure variation pattern prefetching process, based on the special figure type of the newly acquired hold information, the current game state, and the newly obtained special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R3, the explanation will be given first. In the first special figure fluctuation time lottery process or the second special figure fluctuation time lottery process, it is determined in advance whether or not the SP reach system fluctuation pattern is selected.
The number of special figure holds when the retained memory information that has been earned becomes a lottery target is unpredictable, but when the reserved memory information becomes the lottery target by the special figure fluctuation pattern prefetching process, Regardless, it is possible to grasp in advance whether or not the SP reach system variation pattern is selected.
Based on the result of the special figure fluctuation pattern prefetching process, a non-SP reach fluctuation pattern is selected by determining whether or not to make a jackpot expectation prediction that the jackpot expectation of the stored information to be prefetched is high. Since it is possible to eliminate the jackpot expectation notice for the stored information to be obtained, the accuracy of the jackpot expectation notice can be increased.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the jackpot expectation degree according to the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process and the result of the special figure variation pattern prefetching process is notified by the color of the hold icon displayed at one corner of the effect display device 37. doing. The hold icon will be described later.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, when the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is a win, the special figure variation pattern prefetching process is not performed, and the color of the held icon is rainbow with a probability of 1% and the probability of 70%. To red, 20% probability to green, and 9% probability to blue.
On the other hand, if the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is a loss, the process branches according to the result of the special figure variation pattern prefetching process. Specifically, if the execution of the SP reach pattern is confirmed as a result of the special chart fluctuation pattern prefetching process, the color of the hold icon is red with a probability of 10%, green with a probability of 60%, 30% Set blue with probability of. If the execution of the SP reach pattern is unconfirmed as a result of the special figure variation pattern prefetching process, the color of the hold icon is set to blue with a probability of 10%. Gray is the default color of the hold icon.

  Accordingly, the jackpot expectation degree corresponding to the color of the hold icon is in the order of rainbow> red> green> blue> gray. If the color of the hold icon is rainbow, the big hit is fixed, and if it is red or green, execution of the SP reach system is fixed.

<ST count prefetch processing>
In the ST count prefetching process, regardless of the result of the jackpot lottery result prefetching process, it is assumed that the result is a win even if the result is lost, and based on the newly obtained jackpot type lottery random number R2 described above, It is determined which jackpot type is selected in the 1 special figure big hit symbol lottery processing (see FIG. 13A) and the second special figure big hit symbol lottery (see FIG. 13B). Based on the result, a process of grasping the number of STs in advance is performed.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when it is determined to display a color other than the default colors gray and blue in the process of determining the color of the hold icon, the ST count is suggested in association with the hold icon. There may be notices.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, when the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is a win and the result of the ST number prefetching process is five times, it is associated with the hold icon at an allocation rate of 80%. In addition, it is determined that the notice indicating the number of STs is performed in the notice mode of “5 times?”, While it is determined that there is no notice at a distribution rate of 20%.
Similarly, when the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is a win and the result of the ST number prefetching process is 10 times, a notice of “10 times?” Associated with the hold icon at a distribution rate of 30%. The notification mode of “5 times?” Associated with the hold icon at the distribution rate of 60% is determined to be no notification at the distribution rate of 10%.
If the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is a win and the result of the ST number prefetching process is up to the next big hit, a notice mode of “10 times?” Associated with the hold icon at a distribution rate of 90%; It is determined that a notice that suggests the number of STs is made in a notice mode of “5 times?” Associated with the hold icon at a distribution rate of 10%.

On the other hand, if the result of the big hit lottery result prefetch process is lost and the result of the ST number prefetch process is five times, there is no notice, the result of the big hit lottery result prefetch process is a lose, and the result of the ST number prefetch process. Is 10 times, it is determined that the notice of suggesting the number of STs will be made in the notice mode of “5 times?” Associated with the hold icon at a 20% distribution rate, while 80% distribution It is determined that there is no notice at the rate.
In addition, when the result of the big hit lottery result prefetching process is lost and the result of the ST number prefetching process is up to the next big hit, an advance notice “10 times?” Associated with the hold icon with a 20% distribution rate. It is determined that the notice that suggests the number of STs is made in the notice form of “5 times?” Associated with the hold icon at the distribution rate of 80%.

  As can be seen from FIG. 17, the probability of determining to give a notice indicating the number of STs becomes higher as the result of the ST number prefetching process is more advantageous to the player, regardless of the jackpot lottery result prefetching process. Is set. In addition, the notice of the number of times exceeding the result of the ST number prefetch process is not performed.

For example, when the notice mode indicating the number of STs is “10 times?”, If a big hit is made, the ST state is determined because the ST state of 10 times or the ST state until the next big hit is fixed. Compared to the case where the notice mode is “5 times?” Or no notice, the desire for the big hit “Hit this hold!” Can be increased.
Thus, by adding the number of STs as a new notice element other than the big hit expectation degree, it is possible to further enhance the interest with respect to the reservation prefetch notice.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ST count is set only when the color of the hold icon is rainbow, red, and green, that is, only for the hold for which execution of the SP system reach having a high jackpot expectation is confirmed. Make a suggestive notice. The notice of the number of STs is a notice under the assumption that "if you win a big hit ...", so if you give a notice of the number of STs even for a hold with a low expectation level of the big hit, it will be redundant and interesting. This is because there is a risk of lowering rather than increasing.
Therefore, it is desirable to appropriately set the execution probability of the notice of the number of STs when the result of the big hit lottery result prefetch process is lost so as not to be redundant according to the big hit probability or the special figure variation pattern prefetch process result.

  Furthermore, after executing the hold prefetching process as described above at the time of starting winning, the notice mode may be changed from the notice mode at the time of starting prize to another notice mode according to the result of the hold prefetching process. The timing for changing the notice mode is preferably a timing at which a change in the number of special figure changes until the hold becomes a lottery target hold. Specifically, when the previous special figure change ends, It is desirable to start a new figure change related to other hold or self hold.

For example, if the result of the big hit lottery result prefetch process is a win, the result of the ST number prefetch process is the next big hit, and the notice mode determined at the time of starting winning is “5 times?”, Other hold, Alternatively, the notice mode that suggests the number of STs may be changed to “10 times?”, “Until next time?”, Or the like at the timing when the special figure change related to self-holding is newly started.
According to the above method, the notice mode that suggests the number of STs for the target hold may change to a notice mode that is more advantageous to the player as the hold that becomes the lottery target is digested before the target hold. Therefore, the expectation with respect to the change of the notice mode of the target hold can be increased stepwise over the period from the start winning prize to the lottery target.

<Pre-reading notice mode on production display device 37>
Next, the processing content in the sub-control unit 120 that has received the prefetching result command including the results of the various prefetching processes described above and the notice mode on the effect display device 37 will be described.
FIG. 18 shows an example of a prefetch notice mode on the effect display device 37.
FIG. 18 shows three effect symbols LZ, CZ, which are synchronized with the variation of the first special figure or the second special figure in the first special figure display device SD1 or the second special figure display device SSD2 in the liquid crystal display device 37. The symbol variation of RZ is executed, the left effect symbol LZ is “5”, the right effect symbol RZ is “7”, and each stop is performed, and the middle effect symbol CZ continues to vary.
On the lower left side of the liquid crystal display device 37, a first special figure hold display area for displaying four first special figure hold icons T1H1 to T1H4 indicating the hold state of the first special figure, on the lower right side of the liquid crystal display device 37 Is provided with a second special figure hold display area for displaying four second special figure hold icons T2H1 to T2H4 indicating the hold state of the second special figure.

In FIG. 18, the outline of each hold icon corresponding to the acquired hold storage is indicated by a solid line, the outline of the hold icon corresponding to the non-acquired hold storage is indicated by a dotted line, and the gray hold icon is displayed in white and red. The hold icon is shown in gray.
Accordingly, FIG. 18 shows a state in which the number of first special figure reservations is two and the number of second special figure reservations is three. The first hold icon T1H1 for holding the first special figure, the second hold icon T1H2 for holding the first special figure, the first hold icon T2H1 for holding the second special figure, and the first hold icon T2H2 for holding the second special figure are: In gray display, the color of the hold icon is gray, which suggests to the player that the expectation level of execution of the SP reach system is low when these holds are consumed.

  Further, the third hold icon T2H2 for holding the second special figure is displayed in red and the ST number suggestion “10 times?” Is also displayed. Since the 3rd hold icon T2H2 of 2nd special figure hold is digested after 3 fluctuations, after 3 fluctuations, it is decided that the effect which has high expectation degree of SP reach type is executed, and the number of STs Since the notice mode is “10 times?”, In the case of a big hit, the player is notified that the number of ST times is 10 times or more.

  In this manner, in correspondence with each hold storage, by displaying various notices based on the hold prefetching process in association with the hold icon, which is a symbol displayed on the effect display device 37, it becomes a target of the notice. It is possible to clearly notify the player which is the hold and the time when the hold for the advance notice becomes the hold for the lottery.

<Pending prefetch processing during probability change>
In addition to the above-described hold prefetch process, a hold prefetch process that is effective during probability change will be described below.
As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention has a specification in which the number of STs varies depending on the jackpot type, as shown in FIG.
The distribution probability of jackpot types 2 and 4 to which 10 ST times are given and the jackpot type 5 to be probable until the next jackpot is the distribution probability of jackpot types 1 and 3 to which 5 ST times are given. Compared to, it is set to be extremely low. Therefore, there is a premiere feeling until the number of STs is 10 times and the next big hit.

For this reason, during the early stage of the probability change of 10 ST counts with the remaining ST count of 6 or more, or during the probability change until the next big hit with no limit on the remaining ST count, it shifts to the probability change state of 5 ST counts by assigning a big hit In such a case, the remaining number of STs at the time of the big hit is larger than the number of STs given by assigning the big hit, so that there is a possibility that the player may feel a loss even though the big hit is assigned.
Similarly, if the number of STs suggested based on the hold prefetching process is smaller than the remaining number of STs during the probability variation game, the ST number notice may give a negative feeling to the player.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, during the probability change until the next big hit, it is assumed that no notice indicating the number of STs based on the hold prefetch process is performed.
In addition, during the probability change of 10 STs, if there are 6 or more remaining STs when the target for advance notice becomes the target for lottery, a notice that suggests the number of STs based on the hold prefetching process is given. Do not do.
On the other hand, during the probability change of 5 STs, a notice indicating the number of STs based on the hold prefetch process is performed regardless of the remaining STs.

  As a result, during the probability variation game, the ST number notice is executed only when the ST number suggested based on the hold prefetching process is larger than the remaining ST number, and thus giving the player a negative feeling. Absent.

  The present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine.
