  The first and second lens members 64 and 65 are attached to the first and second attachment portions 85 and 86, so that the exit-side convex portions 76 of the condenser lenses 74 and 75 are the end surfaces 61 a and 61 b of the light guide plate 61. In addition, the first and second light emitting substrates 62 and 63 are mounted on the first and second mounting portions 85 and 86 so that the LEDs 72 and 73 are convex on the incident side of the condenser lenses 74 and 75. The state close to the portion 77 is obtained.

  The first light emitting substrate 62 and the first lens member 64 mounted on the first mounting portion 85 are moved by the first pressing member 82, and the second light emitting substrate 63 and the second lens member 65 mounted on the second mounting portion 86 are moved to the first. The two pressing members 83 are respectively fixed to the main body frame 81. The first and second pressing members 82 and 83 are fixed to the back side of the main body frame 81 by screwing or the like.

  The movable rendering means 30 is formed in an arbitrary shape such as a pendulum and is, for example, an axis in the front-rear direction between the retracted position outside the display window 42 and the operating position on the front side of the first display means 31 and the second display means 32. A movable body 88 that can be moved around, and a driving means 89 such as a motor that supports the movable body 88 so as to be swingable at one end thereof, for example, are provided. The driving means 89 is, for example, the back wall portion 55 of the support member 54. It is detachably fixed by screwing or the like.

  The normal symbol starting means 19 is for starting the symbol variation by the normal symbol display means 47, is constituted by a passing gate through which a game ball can pass, and includes a game ball detecting means 19a for detecting the passage of the game ball. Yes. The normal symbol starting means 19 is disposed, for example, in the lower right part with respect to the central display unit 18, and the game ball flowing down the right flow path 46b is higher than the game ball flowing down the left flow path 46a. It is possible to pass with probability.

  The normal symbol display means 47 is for variably displaying the normal symbol, and includes a plurality of light emitters (for example, LEDs) corresponding to a plurality of normal symbols (for example, two types of “O” and “X”), Based on the fact that the normal symbol starting means 19 detects a game ball, that is, the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting means 19 and the game ball detecting means 19a detects the game ball, the plurality of light emitters are arranged in a predetermined order. When the hit determination random number value included in the normal random number information acquired when the game ball is detected by the normal symbol starting means 19 matches the predetermined hit determination value, the hit mode (predetermined For example, the “◯” side illuminant corresponding to the mode is turned on, and in other cases, for example, the “X” side illuminant corresponding to the detachment mode is lit and stopped.

  The normal random number information acquired when the normal symbol starting means 19 detects the game ball is held and stored up to a predetermined upper limit reserved number, for example, four, and every time symbol change by the normal symbol display means 47 is started. Digested sequentially. The number of stored ordinary random number information (ordinary holding number) is notified to the player by the normal holding number display means 48.

  The first special symbol starting means 20 is for starting symbol variation by the first special symbol display means 49, and is constituted by non-opening / closing type winning means having no opening / closing means, and a game ball for detecting a winning game ball. The detection means 20a is provided. This first special symbol starting means 20 is arranged, for example, in an upward opening shape below the central drop part 52 of the central display unit 18 and is a route for winning through the stage 53 from the warp inlet 51 on the left flow path 46a side. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the left flow path 46a can win a prize with a higher probability than the game ball flowing down the right flow path 46b.

  The second special symbol starting means 21 is for starting the symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 50, and is in an open state in which the game ball can win a prize and in a closed state where a prize cannot be won (or a prize is harder than in the open state). The game ball detecting means 21a for detecting the winning game ball, and the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 47 is the hit mode (predetermined mode). Thus, when the normal profit state occurs, the state changes from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time. The second special symbol starting means 21 is arranged, for example, below the first special symbol starting means 20, and the right down flow path 46b is made to flow more than the game ball that has flowed down the left down flow path 46a, for example, by nail arrangement or the like. The game balls that have flowed down are more likely to win prizes.

  The first special symbol display means 49 is composed of one or a plurality of, for example, one segment display means capable of variably displaying one first special symbol, and the first special symbol starter 20 is a game. Detecting the ball, that is, the game ball is won by the first special symbol starter 20 and the game ball detector 20a detects the game ball. When the jackpot determination random number value included in the first special random number information acquired at the time of winning the one special symbol starting means 20 matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, it matches the jackpot determination value in a jackpot mode. In some cases, it is stopped in a small hit mode, and in other cases, it is stopped in a disengaged mode. When the stop symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 49 becomes a big hit mode, a big hit state (first profit state) occurs, and when it becomes a small hit state, a small hit state (second profit) State) occurs.

  In this embodiment, no small hit determination value is provided for the first special symbol display means 49, and therefore the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the first special symbol display means 49 is either the big hit mode or the off mode. The probability of being a small hit mode is 0%. The first special symbol display means 49 is provided with three types of jackpot modes A1 to A3 shown in FIG. 8A. When the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, for example, the jackpot determination random number value Based on the jackpot symbol random number obtained together with the jackpot, any one of the jackpot modes A1 to A3 is selected at the selection rate shown in FIG. Of course, the probability of the small hit mode in the first special symbol display means 49 may not be 0%.

  The second special symbol display means 50 is composed of one or a plurality of, for example, a seven-segment display means capable of variably displaying one second special symbol, and the second special symbol start means 21 is a game. Detecting the ball, that is, the game ball is won by the second special symbol starter 21 and the game ball detector 21a detects the game ball. When the jackpot determination random number value included in the second special random number information acquired at the time of winning the two special symbol starting means 21 matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, it matches the jackpot determination value in a jackpot mode. In some cases, it is stopped in a small hit mode, and in other cases, it is stopped in a disengaged mode. When the stop symbol after the change of the second special symbol display means 50 becomes a big hit mode (first specific mode), a big hit state (first profit state) occurs, and a small hit state (second specific mode) If this happens, a small hit state (second profit state) occurs.

  In the present embodiment, with respect to the second special symbol display means 50, if the big hit determination random number value does not match the big hit determination value, it always matches the small hit determination value. Therefore, the second special symbol display means The stop symbol after 50 fluctuations is either a jackpot mode (for example, a jackpot probability 1/199) or a small jackpot mode (for example, a jackpot probability 198/199), and there is no case of being a losing mode. Further, the second special symbol display means 50 is provided with three types of jackpot modes B1 to B3 shown in FIG. 8B and three types of jackpot modes b1 to b3 shown in FIG. When the determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, for example, based on the jackpot symbol random value acquired together with the jackpot determination random value, any of the jackpot modes B1 to B3 is shown in FIG. 8B. When the jackpot determination random number value does not coincide with the jackpot determination value, for example, one of the small hit modes b1 to b3 based on the jackpot symbol random value is shown in FIG. 8C. To be selected. Of course, there may be a case where the second special symbol display means 50 is in a disengagement mode.

  It should be noted that the first and second special symbols may be numeric symbols, etc., and have special meanings such as combinations of arbitrary lines and points so that the player cannot easily distinguish the types of stop symbols. You may use the design which does not have.

  The first and second special random number information acquired at the time of winning the game ball to the first and second special symbol starting means 20 and 21 is held and stored up to a predetermined upper limit holding number, for example, 4 each. Each time the symbol variation by the first and second special symbol display means 49, 50 is started, it is digested sequentially. The stored numbers (first and second special reserved numbers) of the first and second special random number information are notified to the player by the first and second special reserved number display means 37 and 38, respectively.

  In this embodiment, the first and second special symbol display means 49, 50 are not started during the big hit state and the small hit state, which will be described later, and the first and second special symbol display means 49, 50 are not started. Control is performed so that the other symbol variation is not started during either symbol variation and both are not varying at the same time. Further, when both the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 are ready to start symbol variation, the second special symbol display means 50 is more likely than the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 49. Control is performed so as to prioritize symbol variation.

  The first and second effect symbol display means 35 and 36 produce the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50, respectively. For example, the first and second special symbols can be variably displayed on the first display means 31 together with various effect images. For example, the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 can be displayed. The first and second effect symbols are changed in time with the change. The first and second effect symbol display means 35 and 36 may change the effect symbol independently or display other effect images without synchronizing with the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols. .

  For the first and second effect designs, for example, 10 types of numbers from “0” to “9” are used, and all three designs such as “6, 6 and 6” and “7, 7 and 7” are used. Those with the same symbol are jackpot effect modes, for example, those with different at least one symbol are the jackpot effect mode or the miss effect mode. And, for example, when the stop symbols of the first and second special symbols are the big hit mode, the small hit mode, and the off mode, the first and second production symbols also correspond to the jackpot effect mode, the small hit effect mode, and the out effect mode Stop at.

  The first big winning means 22 is constituted by an open / close-type winning means that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by operating the opening / closing means 91. When the stop symbol after fluctuation of the symbol display means 49, 50 becomes a small hit state (second specific mode) and a small hit state (second profit state) occurs, the opening / closing means 91 has one or more kinds of small hits. It opens according to one of the hit opening patterns. In the present embodiment, only the second special symbol display means 50 may be a small hitting mode.

  The first big winning means 22 is arranged, for example, on the right flow path 46b side and on the downstream side of the normal symbol starting means 19, and has flowed down the right flow path 46b rather than the game ball flowing down the left flow path 46a. The game ball can be won with higher probability.

  The opening / closing means 91 of the first grand prize winning means 22 is, for example, a plate-like body arranged in a slanting direction in the left and right direction at the center side (left side) of the game area 17 and is slidable in the front-rear direction. When in the state, it projects forward from the board surface of the game board 15, closes the upward opening-shaped winning opening and guides the game ball falling to the upper side to the center side of the game area 17, and in the open state The winning opening is opened by retreating to the rear side.

  The first grand prize winning unit 22 distributes, for example, one specific area 92a, one normal area 92b, and game balls won in the first big prize winning means 22 into the specific area 92a and the normal area 92b, for example, movable type. Distribution means 93, specific game ball detection means 94a for detecting game balls flowing into the specific area 92a, and normal game ball detection means 94b for detecting game balls flowing into the normal area 92b. The game balls won in the first grand prize winning means 22 are guided to either the specific area 92a or the normal area 92b by the distributing means 93, and either by the specific game ball detecting means 94a or the normal game ball detecting means 94b. After being detected, the game board 15 is guided to the back side. When the game ball won in the first big winning means 22 is guided to the specific area 92a side and the specific game ball detecting means 94a detects the game ball (hereinafter referred to as V winning), a big hit state occurs.

  The specific area 92a and the normal area 92b are disposed adjacent to each other on the left and right, for example. The sorting means 93 is, for example, a claw-like member disposed on the upper side corresponding to the specific area 92a and the normal area 92b, and is driven in a predetermined pattern around the rotation axis in the front-rear direction by driving a driving means (not shown). By swinging, a specific guidance state in which the game ball is guided to the specific area 92a side while preventing inflow to the normal area 92b side, and a game ball to the normal area 92b side while preventing inflow to the specific area 92a side It is possible to switch to the normal guidance state for guiding. It is assumed that the operation pattern of the distribution means 93 is always constant, for example, and the distribution rate to the specific area 92a does not change. Of course, the distribution rate (the operation pattern of the distribution means 93) may be changed according to the gaming state, etc., for example, the distribution means 93 is operated only during a predetermined period such as when the first big winning means 22 is open, You may make it stop.

  The second big winning means 23 is constituted by an open / close-type winning means that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by the operation of the opening / closing means 95. When the stop symbol after the symbol display means 49, 50 is changed to a big hit mode or when a game ball won by the first big win means 22 is guided to the specific area 92a side, it is opened / closed. The means 95 is configured to open according to one or more types of jackpot opening patterns.

  In the following description, the jackpot state that occurs when the stop symbol after the change of the first and second special symbol display means 49, 50 becomes a jackpot mode, and the game ball that has won the first grand prize winning means 22 When it is necessary to distinguish the jackpot state that occurs when guided to the specific area 92a side, the former is referred to as a symbol jackpot state (first profit state), and the latter is referred to as a V winning jackpot state (third jackpot state). .

  The opening / closing means 95 of the second big winning means 23 is, for example, a horizontally-long rectangular plate corresponding to a forward-opening winning prize opening, and can swing around a horizontal rotation shaft provided on the lower side. In the closed state, the winning opening is closed by standing upright along the board surface of the game board 15, and in the open state, the upper side protrudes forward from the board surface of the game board 15, resulting in a downwardly inclined shape. The game ball that has fallen to the upper side is guided into the winning opening. The second big winning means 23 includes a game ball detecting means 23a for detecting a winning game ball.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the control system of this pachinko machine. In FIG. 7, 101 is a main control board, 102 is an effect control board, and each of these control boards 101 and 102 collects the central display unit 18 mounted on the game board 15 and a plurality of other game parts from the back side. The board case is detachably mounted at appropriate positions on the back side of the gaming machine main body 1 including the front frame 4 and the game board 15 such as the back side of the back cover.

  The main control board 101 controls the game operation in an integrated manner, and includes a normal random number generation processing means 111, a normal start detection processing means 112, a normal random number storage means 113, a normal symbol processing, which are constituted by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and the like. Means 114, ordinary profit state generation means 115, first and second special random number generation processing means 121a and 121b, first and second special start detection processing means 122a and 122b, and first and second special random number storage means 123a and 123b. , First special symbol processing means 124a and 124b, small hit state generating means 125, big hit state generating means 126, special gaming state generating means 127, control command transmitting means 128, and the like.

  The normal random number generation processing means 111 repeatedly generates a hit determination random number or the like used for determining whether or not the stop pattern after the fluctuation of the normal pattern is used as a hit mode (whether or not to generate a normal profit state) every predetermined time. Is configured to do. The normal start detection processing means 112 performs processing based on the detection of the game ball by the normal symbol start means 19, and is generated by the normal random number generation processing means 111 based on the fact that the normal symbol start means 19 detects the game ball. Ordinary random number information such as the hit determination random number value is obtained, and the random number information is stored in the first-in first-out ordinary random number storage means 113 with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four) as a limit. ing.

  The normal symbol processing means 114 performs processing related to the normal symbol fluctuation display. The normal symbol display means 47 is in a state in which the normal symbol display means 47 can be variablely displayed, and the normal random number storage means 113 stores one or more pieces of normal random number information. On the condition that the number of ordinary holdings is 1 or more, a hit determination random number value is extracted from the head of the normal random number information queue stored in the normal random number storage means 113, and the hit determination random number value is predetermined. In accordance with whether or not it matches the received hit determination value, the hit / miss determination is performed and the normal symbol by the normal symbol display means 47 is changed for a predetermined time. Thus, in the case of the detachment determination, the variation of the normal symbol is stopped at “x” corresponding to the detachment mode.

  The normal profit state generating means 115 generates a normal profit state in which the second special symbol starting means 21 changes to the open state, and the normal symbol display means is based on the determination result by the normal symbol processing means 114 being a hit. When the stop symbol after the change of 47 becomes a hit state, the second special symbol starting means 21 is changed to the open state for a predetermined time according to any of a plurality of types of opening / closing patterns.

  The first and second special random number creation processing means 121a and 121b are, in addition to the jackpot determination random number used for determining whether the first and second special symbols after change are set to the big hit mode, the small hit mode, or the off mode, When the special symbol after the change becomes a big hit mode or a small hit mode, the big hit symbol random number used for selecting the stop symbol mode, the variable pattern selection random number used for selecting the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol, and other predetermined random numbers are repeatedly generated. It is configured to perform special random number generation processing.

  The first and second special start detection processing means 122a and 122b perform processing based on the detection (winning) of the game ball by the first and second special symbol start means 20 and 21, and the first and second special design detection means 122a and 122b. Based on the fact that the starting means 20 and 21 detect the game ball, the first and second special special random number values, the big hit symbol random numbers generated by the first and second special random number creation processing means 121a and 121b, etc. Random number information is acquired, and the first and second special random number information is stored in first-in first-out first and second special random number storage means 123a and 123b with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four each) as a limit. It is configured as follows.

  The first and second special symbol processing means 124a and 124b perform processing related to the variable display of the first and second special symbols, and the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 are in a state in which the variable display is possible. In addition, one or more first and second special random number information is stored in the first and second special random number storage means 123a and 123b (the number of the first and second special reserved numbers is one or more). In addition, the jackpot determination random number value is extracted from the head of the queue of the first and second special random number information stored in the first and second special random number storage means 123a and 123b, and the jackpot determination random number value is predetermined. A jackpot determination function for determining jackpot / small hit / loss according to whether or not the jackpot determination value matches the jackpot determination value, the jackpot / small hit / loss determination result, and the first and second special random number storages Mean 12 Special stop symbol mode selection function for selecting a stop symbol after fluctuation of the first and second special symbols based on the jackpot symbol random number value stored together with the jackpot determination random number value in a and 123b, jackpot / small bonus / Based on the determination result of deviation, a variation pattern selection function for selecting one of a plurality of types as a variation pattern corresponding to the first and second effect symbols, by the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 Starts fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, and stops fluctuation of the first and second special symbols in the selected stop pattern mode based on the passage of the fluctuation time corresponding to the selected fluctuation pattern. The first and second special symbol variation control functions are provided.

  In this embodiment, when the determination result regarding the first special symbol display means 49 is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 8A, the three types of big hits A1 to A3 are 50, 20, and 30%, respectively. When it is selected by probability and the determination result related to the second special symbol display means 50 is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 8B, the three types of big hit modes B1 to B3 are 50, 20, and 30%, respectively. When selected with probability and the determination result regarding the second special symbol display means 50 is a small hit, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the three types of small hits b1 to b3 are 70, 10, 20 respectively. % Selected with probability. Note that the probability of jackpot mode (hit probability) is the same (for example, 1/199) in the first special symbol display means 49 and the second special symbol display means 50. Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the determination relating to the first special symbol display means 49 does not result in only a big hit and miss, and the determination relating to the second special symbol display means 50 includes only a big hit and small hit. There is no loss.

  Further, for example, during the big hit state and the small hit state, the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 do not start the symbol variation, and either the first or second special symbol display means 49 or 50 During the change, the other symbol change is not started and both are controlled not to change at the same time, and both the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 can start the symbol change. In this case, the control is performed so that the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 50 is prioritized over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 49.

  The small hit state generating means (second profit state generating means) 125 is for generating a small hit state (second profit state), and is a big hit / small hit / by the first and second special symbol processing means 124a, 124b. The determination result of losing is a small hit (in the present embodiment, only the second special symbol processing means 124b has a possibility of a small hit), and the first and second special symbol display means 49, 50 provide the first and second. When the stop symbol form after the change of the special symbol becomes the small hit mode, a small hit state is generated in which the first big winning means 22 is opened according to a predetermined small hit release pattern. In the present embodiment, the small hit opening pattern is one type (for example, 0.5 seconds × one time), but a plurality of types may be provided.

  The jackpot state generating means (first profit state generating means, third profit state generating means) 126 is for generating a jackpot state (first profit state, third profit state), and the first and second special symbol processing. The stop symbol form after the first and second special symbol display units 49 and 50 change by the first and second special symbol display units 49 and 50 based on the determination result of the big hit / small hit / off by the means 124a and 124b is a big hit. The second big win means 23 is opened when the game is won in the big win mode (first specific mode) or the game ball that has won the first big win means 22 in the small hit state is guided to the specific area 92a. A jackpot state that opens according to the pattern is generated.

  The jackpot release pattern of the present embodiment is based on the condition that a predetermined number of times (for example, 28 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the second big winning means 23 or that a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have won. The closing operation is performed for a predetermined number of rounds, and three types of 5R, 10R, and 15R, for example, are provided depending on the number of rounds.

  The jackpot release pattern is selected according to the type of jackpot mode or jackpot mode, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, for the symbol jackpot state that occurs when the first special symbol is a jackpot mode, as shown in FIG. 8A, the 15R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode A1 according to the type of jackpot mode And the 5R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode A2 and the 10R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode A3 are selected with a probability of 50, 20, and 30%, respectively, and the symbol generated when the second special symbol becomes the jackpot mode As shown in FIG. 8B, the jackpot state corresponds to the 15R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode B1, the 5R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode B2, and the jackpot mode B3 according to the type of the jackpot mode. The 10R open pattern is selected with a probability of 50, 20, and 30%, respectively. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the V winning big hit state that occurs when the game ball won in the first big winning means 22 during the small winning state is guided to the specific area 92a, 15R open pattern corresponding to the small hit mode b1, 5R open pattern corresponding to the small hit mode b2, and 10R open pattern corresponding to the small hit mode b3 according to the type of the small hit mode when It is selected with a probability of 10, 20%.

  As described above, the first special symbol display means 49 will not be in the small hit mode, whereas the second special symbol display means 50 will always be in the small hit mode when it is not in the big hit mode. Therefore, with respect to the occurrence of the small hit state, the player is better when the second special symbol starter 21 detects the game ball than when the first special symbol starter 20 detects the game ball. It can be said that the expected value of profits is large.

  In addition, regarding the jackpot release pattern selected when the stop symbol mode after change becomes a jackpot mode, the first special symbol display means 49 and the second special symbol display means 50 have exactly the same type and selection rate. (FIGS. 8A and 8B). Therefore, the expected value of the profit obtained by the player by the jackpot state generated when the stop symbol mode after change becomes the jackpot mode is the same as when the first special symbol starter 20 detects the game ball and the second special symbol This is the same as when the symbol starting means 21 detects a game ball.

  The special game state generation means 127 is for generating a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the jackpot state, and includes an open extension state generation means 127a for generating an open extension state as an example of the special game state. ing. The open extended state generating means 127a starts the open extended state with a predetermined probability when the jackpot state ends, and when one or more special game state end conditions (predetermined end conditions) are satisfied. The extended extended state is terminated.

  During the open extended state, the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 in the normal profit state is switched from the normal open time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) to the extended open time (for example, 2.7 seconds × 2 times). In addition, the fluctuation time of the first and second special symbols and the normal symbol is shortened than usual, and the hit probability for the normal symbol is changed from the normal probability (for example, 1/10) to the high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3). And can be switched.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 in the open extended state (in the special game state) is longer than in the other normal game states, and the probability that the game ball wins is high. Therefore, the probability that a small hit state (second profit state) occurs per predetermined number of shots is higher in the open extended state than in the normal gaming state. In addition, you may set the probability that a symbol will be in a small hitting mode so that it is higher in the open extended state than in the normal gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, as the special game state end condition (predetermined end condition), in addition to the basic end condition including the occurrence of the next jackpot state, the symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 49 and 50 are used. A period ending condition is set which includes the fact that the total number of fluctuations reaches a predetermined upper limit (elapse of a predetermined duration). There are a plurality of types (two types here) having different predetermined upper limit times for the period end condition. For example, the predetermined upper limit number is set to 50 for the first period end condition, and the predetermined upper limit number is set to 100 for the second period end condition. Is set to times. In addition, the open extension state which complete | finishes by the 1st period end condition is made into the 1st open extension state, and the open extension state which complete | finishes by the 2nd period end condition is made into the 2nd open extension state.

  Then, after the end of the symbol jackpot state based on the fact that the first special symbol has become a jackpot mode, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the second open extension that ends with 100 symbol variations with a probability of 50%. After the end of the symbol jackpot state based on the occurrence of the state and the second special symbol having become a jackpot mode, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 (c), after the 1 open extended state occurs and the V winning jackpot state ends, a second open extended state that ends with 100 symbol variations is generated with a probability of 70%. It has become.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the extended extended state that occurs after the end of the jackpot state is when the first special symbol is in the jackpot mode (FIG. 8 (a)) and when the second special symbol is in the jackpot mode. (FIG. 8 (b)), and the latter has a shorter duration than the former. As will be described later, in the case of the present embodiment, in the special game state, the right special strike changes the second special symbol, and in the normal game state other than the special game state, the left special strikes the first special. The fluctuation of the pattern becomes dominant. That is, the expected value of the profit obtained by the player when the stop symbol becomes a jackpot mode (the first specific mode) during the special game state is that the stop symbol is a jackpot mode during the normal game state other than the special game state ( The first specific aspect is smaller than the expected value of profit that the player can obtain.

  Further, the extended extended state that occurs after the end of the big win state is that the game ball that won the first big winning means 22 is in the specific area 92a side when the second special symbol is in the big win mode (FIG. 8B). In the case (FIG. 8C), the former has a lower probability of occurrence and the duration is shorter than the latter. In this way, the expected value of the profit that the player can obtain when the stop symbol becomes a jackpot mode (first specific mode) during the special gaming state is the first big winning means (specific pitching) during the special gaming state. Means) When the game ball won in 22 is guided to the specific area 92a, it is smaller than the expected value of profit that the player can obtain. Of course, the probability that the extended extended state will occur after the end of the jackpot state is set such that when the second special symbol is in the jackpot mode (FIG. 8B), the game ball won in the first jackpot means 22 is in a specific area. It may be the same as when guided to the 92a side (FIG. 8C).

  The control command transmission means 128 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board side such as the effect control board 102 by one-way communication and giving a control command. The first and second special symbol processing means 124a, Based on the first and second special symbol processing by 124b, the first and second reserved decrease commands for designating the decrease of the first and second special reserved numbers at the start of the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, the first , The first and second variation pattern designation commands for designating the variation pattern of the second effect design, and the first and second stop symbol designating commands for designating the stop symbol configuration of the first and second special symbols in this order. Transmit to the control board 102 side, and send the first and second change stop designation commands to the effect control board 102 side to instruct stop of change of the first and second effect symbols at the end of the change of the first and second special symbols. Function, first (2) A function for transmitting first and second hold increase commands for designating an increase in the first and second special hold numbers to the effect control board 102 when the special hold number increases, a special game by the special game state generating means 127 A function of transmitting a special game state generation command, a special game state end command, and the like to the effect control board 102 side when the state is generated and ended is provided.

  The effect control board 102 is for controlling various effect means such as the movable effect means 30, the first display means 31, the second display means 32, the sound output means 131, and the electrical decoration means 132, and the special reserved number display control. Means 133, symbol variation effect control means 134, etc. are provided.

  The special reserved number display control means 133 controls the display of the first and second special reserved number display means 37 and 38, and a new game ball is detected by the first and second special symbol starting means 20 and 21. When the first and second hold increase commands are received from the main control board 101, the first and second special hold numbers are set at predetermined positions on the first display means 31 based on the first and second hold increase commands. Minute hold display images 37a and 38a are displayed, and the number of the hold display images 37a and 38a being displayed is decreased by one based on, for example, receiving the first and second hold decrease commands from the main control board 101. Shift to the front of the queue.

  The symbol variation effect control means 134 controls the symbol variation effect, receives the first and second variation pattern designation commands from the main control board 101, and thereafter, the first and second stop symbol pattern designation commands within a predetermined time. When the first and second effect symbols are changed, the stop symbol form after change is determined by lottery and based on the change pattern scenario corresponding to the change pattern specified by the first and second change pattern specifying commands. The first and second effect symbol display means 35 and 36 of the first display means 31, the fluctuation of the first and second effect symbols and the accompanying voice effect by the sound output means 131, the light emission effect by the illumination means 132, and the movable When the movable body effect or the like by the effect means 30 is executed and the first and second variable stop designation commands are received, the first and second effect diagrams in the stop symbol form determined by lottery. And it is adapted to stop the fluctuation of.

  For example, in this symbol variation effect, it is possible to execute a specific image effect in which the light emission image by the second display means 32 is superimposed and displayed on the front side of the display image by the first display means 31. In this specific image effect, the first display unit 32 displays the first and second light emission images 32a and 32b (FIG. 9B), and the first display unit 31 displays the first and second light emission images 32a and 32b. First and second specific images 31a and 31b that are approximate to 32b and shifted in a predetermined direction with respect to the first and second light-emitting images 32a and 32b in front view are displayed (FIG. 9A). .

The first specific image 31a displayed on the first display means 31 expresses a female character with, for example, a contrast between a bright part and a dark part, and a face part excluding eyes and a mouth and a part of hair are bright parts and eyes. Most of the hair, mouth, and hair are dark. Of course, the bright part and the dark part do not need to be so-called solid paint, and there may be a color change in those areas. In addition, the first display means 31 displays a first peripheral image 31c made of a background image for the first specific image 31a , for example, together with the first specific image 31a (FIG. 9A).

  The second specific image 31b displayed on the first display means 31 expresses, for example, the characters “chance”, and a second peripheral image 31d composed of an effect image for the second specific image 31b is present around the second specific image 31b. It is displayed (FIG. 9 (a)).

  The first light-emitting image 32a (FIG. 9B) displayed on the second display means 32 has substantially the same shape and size as the bright portion in the first specific image 31a, but the position in the front view is the first. The specific image 31a is slightly different from the specific image 31a. When the second display means 32 is viewed from the front, the specific image 31a is visually recognized in a state shifted, for example, diagonally downward to the right relative to the first specific image 31a on the rear side. (FIG. 9C).

  Further, the second light-emitting image 32b (FIG. 9B) displayed on the second display means 32 is formed in, for example, substantially the same shape and size (thickness) as the second specific image 31b. However, the position in front view is the same for each character, and when the second display means 32 is viewed from the front, it overlaps the second specific image 31b on the rear side and is smaller (thin) than the second specific image 31b. Only when the outer periphery is shifted to the inside, it is visually recognized (FIG. 9C).

  As described above, the first and second light emission images 32a and 32b on the second display means 32 side and the first and second light emission images 32a and 32b on the first display means 31 side that are similar to the first and second light emission images 32a and 32b are predetermined in front view. The first peripheral image 31c and the second peripheral image 31d are displayed on the first display means 31 side and can be viewed from the front side through the light guide plate 61 of the second display means 32. Therefore, a three-dimensional display effect with a sense of depth is possible.

  The first specific image 31 a is displayed on the first display means 31, the first specific image effect is displayed on the second display means 32, and the second specific image 31 b is displayed on the first display means 31. The second specific image effect for displaying the second light emitting image 32b on the second display means 32 is executed separately, but the first specific image 31a and the second specific image 31b are displayed on the first display means 31. Alternatively, a third specific image effect in which the first light emission image 32a and the second light emission image 32b are displayed on the second display unit 32 may be executable.

  In the specific image effect, the emission colors of the first and second emission images 32a and 32b in the second display means 32 can be changed to a plurality of types, and the first and second in the first display means 31 correspondingly. The display colors of the specific images 31a and 31b can be changed to a plurality of types.

  For example, in the first specific image effect, as shown in FIG. 10, the emission color of the first emission image 32a in the second display means 32 is sequentially changed at a predetermined time pitch, such as red → yellow → blue → red → yellow →. In addition, the display color of the first specific image 31a on the first display means 31 is sequentially changed, for example, red → yellow → blue → red → yellow →... That is, the display color is alternately and repeatedly changed between the first light emitting image 32a and the first specific image 31a. In this way, the change in the emission color of the first light emission image 32a on the second display means 32 side and the change in the display color of the first specific image 31a on the first display means 31 side corresponding thereto are performed at different times. As a result, the color change proceeds in the depth direction, so that the stereoscopic effect is enhanced and the production effect is improved.

  In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the normal symbol display means 47 has a low probability of being a hit state during the normal game state other than the open extended state, and the normal symbol is a hit state. Even if the normal profit state occurs, the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 for starting the fluctuation of the second special symbol is very short (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time), so the normal symbol starting means Even if the player makes a right-hand strike at the 19th and second special symbol starting means 21, the possibility of winning the second special symbol starting means 21 is extremely low. On the other hand, the first special symbol starting means 20, which is a non-actuated winning means, does not change the difficulty of winning depending on the gaming state, and stable winning can be expected even during the normal gaming state. Therefore, in the case of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the player does not make a right-hand hit from the normal symbol starting means 19 and the second special symbol starting means 21 on the right flow path 46b side, instead of making a right turn. As a first step, first, in order to generate an open extended state, the player should make a left turn and aim for a prize to the first special symbol starting means 20 from the left flow path 46a side.

  When the player makes a left strike in the normal gaming state and the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 20 from the left flow path 46a, the game ball is guided to the back side of the game board 15. The detection means 20a detects the predetermined number of prize balls, and the first special symbol display means 49 and the first effect symbol display means 35 change the first special symbol and the first effect symbol. Is done.

  If the first special symbol stops in a big win mode during the normal gaming state, a big win state occurs, and the second big winning means according to the jackpot release pattern (FIG. 8 (a)) selected according to the type of the big win mode 23 opens. When a game ball wins the second big winning means 23 being opened, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 8. Therefore, the player can easily obtain a large amount of prize balls by aiming at the second big winning means 23 and switching to the right strike, for example.

  In addition, after the end of the jackpot state, an open extended state with an upper limit of 100 symbol variations occurs with a probability of 50%, for example (FIG. 8A). During the open extended state, the hit probability for the normal symbol is switched from the normal probability (for example, 1/10) to the high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3), and the second special symbol starting means 21 is opened in the normal profit state. Since the time is switched from the normal opening time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) to the extended opening time (for example, 2.7 seconds × 2 times), it is advantageous for the player to make a right-hand hit after the big hit state It is.

  When the player hits the right hand and the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting means 19 when flowing down the right flow path 46b, the normal symbol is changed by the normal symbol display means 47, but during the open extended state, A normal symbol becomes a hit mode with a high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3), a normal profit state occurs, and the second special symbol starter 21 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 2.7 seconds × 2 times). When a game ball wins the opened second special symbol starting means 21, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out to the upper plate 8, and the second special symbol display means 50 and the second effect symbol display means 36 Variations of 2 special symbols and second effect symbols are performed. Note that the second special symbol has a jackpot mode with a probability of 1/199, for example, but all the other symbols have a jackpot mode.

  If the second special symbol stops in a small hit mode after the fluctuation, a small hit state occurs, and the first big winning means 22 is released in a predetermined small hit release pattern. When a game ball wins the first big winning means 22 that is open, the game ball is guided to either the specific area 92a or the normal area 92b by the distributing means 93, and a predetermined number of prize balls are received. It is paid out to the upper plate 8. When the game ball won in the first big winning means 22 is guided to the specific area 92a side (V winning), a big hit state occurs.

  For example, since the distribution ratio to the specific area 92a by the distribution means 93 is constant, if the game ball is continuously awarded to the first big winning means 22 in the open extended state and the game ball is awarded to the first big winning means 22 in time, The sphere is guided to the specific area 92a side, and a big hit state occurs. Note that, due to the occurrence of the V winning jackpot state (basic end condition is established), the open extended state ends at that time even if the period end condition is not satisfied.

  Here, during the open extended state, a small hit state occurs with a very high probability (for example, 198/199) in the variation of the second special symbol, so if the ball can be increased by continuing this small hit state Daringly avoids V-winning until the end of the extended extended state (so-called V removal), and makes a V-winning just before the extended extended state ends (immediately before the period end condition is met) Can also be considered the most advantageous for the player.

  However, in the case of the present embodiment, the open extended state that occurs after the end of the big win state (V winning big hit state) due to the V prize continues up to 100 times of the symbol variation (FIG. 8C), whereas the second special symbol. The open extended state that occurs after the end of the jackpot state (symbol jackpot state) in the case of the jackpot will continue only up to 50 symbol variations (Fig. 8 (b)), the rate of occurrence is also the latter The latter is overwhelmingly disadvantageous for the player because it is low. In addition, the profit state that occurs when the second special symbol is in the jackpot mode (for example, the open extended state with 50 symbol variations) is the profit state that occurs when the first special symbol is in the jackpot mode (for example, It is smaller than the open extension state of 100 symbol variations.

  Therefore, when the so-called V-removal is performed, if the second special symbol becomes a big hit during the open extended state, the profit obtained is less than the case where the V prize is won without performing the V-removal. There will be risks. Thereby, it is possible to effectively suppress the so-called V-removal action by the player.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the second display means 32 displays the luminescent images 32a and 32b, the first display means 31 approximates the luminescent images 32a and 32b, and the first and second images. Since the specific images 31a and 31b having a deviation from the light-emitting images 32a and 32b are displayed in front view with respect to the display means 31 and 32, it is possible to improve the effect by providing a stereoscopic effect with a sense of depth. Is possible.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, the first specific image 31a on the first display means 31 side and the first light-emitting image 32a on the second display means 32 side are substantially the same in shape and size and are different in position in front view. And the second specific image 31b on the first display means 31 side and the second light-emitting image 32b on the second display means 32 side are different in thickness for each character, and the position in front view is for each character. However, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, the specific image on the first display means 31 side and the light emission image on the second display means 32 side are mutually displayed. It may be made to be displayed with a general shift in front view by adopting a substantially similar shape (the shape is substantially the same and the size is different).

  Further, when the size of the specific image on the first display means 31 side and the size of the light emission image on the second display means 32 side are different, the specific image on the back side from the light emission image on the near side as shown in FIGS. You may enlarge, but you may enlarge the light emission image of the near side rather than the specific image of the back side.

  The second display means 32 may be arranged in parallel at the front and rear so that different images can be individually displayed. Further, the luminescent images displayed on the plurality of second display means 32 are displayed not only with respect to the specific image displayed on the first display means 31 but also with the luminescent images that are similar to each other and shifted in front view. You may be made to do.

  When an effect accompanied by the operation of the movable body 88 is performed prior to the specific image effect, for example, the display of the light emission image by the second display means 32 may be started at the same time as the movable body 88 returns to the retracted position. Good. At this time, since the light emission image is displayed simultaneously with the return of the movable body 88 to the retracted position, the retracting operation of the movable body 88 is performed with the light turned off.

  The present invention is not limited to pachinko machines and can be similarly implemented in various game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
