Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that drives a game ball into a game area and causes the ball to flow down.

  In a conventional general pachinko machine, when a game ball wins in a starting winning opening or a tulip-type electric auditorium, a so-called "big hit lottery" is executed, and a symbol variation pattern according to the result of the "big hit lottery" in a symbol display portion. The symbol change display is started in accordance with the following, and when a predetermined symbol change time elapses from the start of the change, the symbol is fixedly displayed in a predetermined fixed display mode according to the result of the "big hit lottery". Then, as disclosed in Patent Literature 1, in accordance with the result of the rush lottery executed at the time of winning, a detailed variation pattern that is a symbol variation pattern from the background display or the symbol variation start to the final display in the symbol display portion is displayed. In addition to executing the control of switching from the so-called normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, switching to the one read out from the specific display effect storage area, the specific effect mode in the specific effect mode is continued until the number of times the symbol is definitely displayed reaches the predetermined number from the shift. Pachinko machines have also been devised that perform control to continue the production.

  In the pachinko machine described in Patent Literature 1, the number of confirmed displays is predetermined when winning in the rush lottery. For example, if the number of confirmed displays is four, usually after entering four times, after the final display, the effect in the specific effect mode ends at the start of the change of the symbol related to the next winning (winning A). Although it returns to the effect in the normal mode, the continuous lottery is executed at the time of winning A, and if the continuous lottery is won, the fluctuation (from the start of the fluctuation related to the winning A to the confirmation display) is The control to continue the effect in the specific effect mode is also executed.

JP 2005-304726 A

  However, in the pachinko machine described in Patent Literature 1, the situation in which the production in the specific production mode continues beyond the predetermined number of confirmed displays is caused not only by the continuous lottery related to the winning prize A but also thereafter. If the effect in the specific effect mode is to be continued, the continuous lottery must be won continuously after winning A. In other words, such a situation is unlikely to occur, and the number of times the effect is continued in the specific effect mode is usually a predetermined number of confirmed displays (at most +1), and the game shifts to the specific effect mode, but the game is monotonous. There is a problem of becoming prone.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine in which the number of continuations of an effect in a specific effect mode is rich in variations and a game is not monotonous.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a starting winning opening in which a game ball can be won, a symbol displaying means for displaying a symbol, a large winning device capable of being opened, and a control means for controlling an operation relating to the game. Is provided, and the control means executes a jackpot lottery based on the detection of a winning of the game ball to the starting winning port, and based on the result of the jackpot lottery, at least the symbol fixed display mode and symbol variation Along with determining the time, the symbol is variably displayed according to the detailed variation pattern that is the variation display mode of the symbol over the determined symbol variation time, and the determined determination is made with the elapse of the symbol variation time. The symbol is confirmed and displayed in a display mode, and if the result of the jackpot lottery is a predetermined result, after the symbol is determined and displayed, the large winning device is displayed in a predetermined mode. On the other hand, when a winning state of the game ball in the starting winning opening is detected during the variable display of the symbol, information relating to the fixed display mode of the symbol and the determination of the symbol variation time is set as the hold information while the game state to be generated is generated. Along with storing up to a predetermined number, each time the symbol is confirmed and displayed, the hold information is sequentially digested, and further, the control means stores at least a normal symbol and a specific symbol different from the normal symbol as the symbol. In addition, as the detailed fluctuation pattern, at least a normal detailed fluctuation pattern that is a detailed fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol and a specific detailed fluctuation pattern that is a detailed fluctuation pattern of the specific symbol are stored, and the normal symbol is stored. And the normal effect mode in which the specific design is changed according to the normal detailed change pattern, and the specific symbol is set to the specific detailed change pattern. A pachinko machine that appropriately switches between a specific effect mode and a variable display mode, wherein the control means determines, in advance, a result of the jackpot lottery relating to the winning due to a winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening. And, regarding the hold information that is digested with priority over the hold information related to the winning, it is determined whether or not there is the hold information in which the result of the jackpot lottery is the predetermined result, In the specific effect mode, the result of the jackpot lottery related to the winning is not the predetermined result, and in the hold information that is digested with priority over the hold information related to the win, the jackpot lottery is The continuous lottery is executed when there is no hold information whose result is the predetermined result, and the continuous lottery is performed during the variation display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode. When executed, the result of the continuous lottery is also stored as the hold information, and the result of the continuous lottery is confirmed when the hold information is consumed, and if the result of the continuous lottery is a winning, The variable display in the specific effect mode is also continued with respect to the variable display of the symbol related to the digestion, while if the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning, the normal display is performed with respect to the variable display of the symbol related to the digestion of the hold information. Switching to the fluctuation display in the effect mode, and furthermore, when storing the hold information, if the result of the continuous lottery is a winning, the result of the continuous lottery of the hold information that is digested with priority over the hold information , And the variable display in the specific effect mode is continued at least up to the variable display of the symbol related to the digestion of the suspension information.

In addition, a starting winning opening in which a game ball can be won, a symbol displaying means for displaying a symbol, and a control means for controlling an operation relating to a game are provided, and the controlling means includes a starting winning opening of the game ball. Based on the detection of winning, the symbol is determined at least in the fixed display mode and the symbol variation time, and the symbol is displayed according to the detailed variation pattern that is the symbol variation display mode over the determined symbol variation time. After the fluctuation display, with the elapse of the symbol fluctuation time, while the symbol is confirmed and displayed in the determined final display mode, while detecting the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening during the fluctuation display of the symbol And storing information relating to the determination of the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol variation time to a predetermined number as hold information, and sequentially displaying the hold information each time the symbol is fixedly displayed. Further, the control means stores at least a normal symbol and a specific symbol different from the normal symbol as the symbol, and the detailed variation pattern is a normal variation pattern of the normal symbol. The detailed fluctuation pattern and at least a specific detailed fluctuation pattern that is the detailed fluctuation pattern of the specific symbol are stored, and the normal effect mode in which the normal symbol is variably displayed according to the normal detailed fluctuation pattern, and the specific symbol is the specific symbol. In a pachinko machine that appropriately switches between a specific effect mode in which a variation display is performed in accordance with a specific detail variation pattern, the control unit includes a continuous lottery unit that executes a continuous lottery due to a winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening. Executing the continuous lottery during the change display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode. The result of the continuous lottery is also stored as the hold information, and the result of the continuous lottery is confirmed when the hold information is consumed, and if the result of the continuous lottery is a win, the processing of the hold information is performed. The variable display in the specific effect mode is also continued for the variable display of the symbol, while the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning, and the normal effect mode for the variable display of the symbol related to the digestion of the hold information. In addition, if the result of the continuous lottery is a win when storing the hold information, the result of the continuous lottery of the hold information that is digested in preference to the hold information is won. As a result, the variation display in the specific effect mode is continued at least until the variation display of the symbol related to the digestion of the hold information, and the result of the continuous lottery is a winning. It is also conceivable to employ a first configuration in which the probability of changing the symbol is changed according to the number of times the symbol changes.
By adopting such a first configuration, the specific effect mode is easily continued over a plurality of pieces of hold information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display section returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode. Is not uniform, it is possible to provide the player with a less monotonous game than before, which is rich in variations in the number of times the specific effect mode is continued.

In addition, a start winning opening in which a game ball can be won, a symbol display means for displaying a symbol, and a control means for controlling an operation relating to the game are provided, and the control means includes a start winning opening of the game ball. Based on the detection of winning, the symbol is determined at least in the fixed display mode and the symbol variation time, and the symbol is displayed according to the detailed variation pattern that is the symbol variation display mode over the determined symbol variation time. After the fluctuation display, with the elapse of the symbol fluctuation time, while the symbol is confirmed and displayed in the determined final display mode, while detecting the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening during the fluctuation display of the symbol And storing information relating to the determination of the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol variation time to a predetermined number as hold information, and sequentially displaying the hold information each time the symbol is fixedly displayed. In the pachinko machine to be converted, the control means stores at least a normal symbol and a specific symbol different from the normal symbol as the symbol, and as the detailed variation pattern, a detailed variation pattern of the normal symbol. At least a certain normal detailed fluctuation pattern and a specific detailed fluctuation pattern which is a detailed fluctuation pattern of the specific symbol are stored, and further, a rush to execute a rush lottery due to winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening. Lottery means, and a continuous lottery means for executing a continuous lottery based on a winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening, the control means, based on winning in the rush lottery, the normal From the normal effect mode in which the symbols are variably displayed according to the normal detail variation pattern, the specific symbol is displayed in accordance with the specific detail variation pattern. Switching to the specific effect mode to be dynamically displayed, the specific effect mode is set at least until the final display related to the winning that has won the rush lottery, and the continuous lottery is performed during the change display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode. Is executed, the result of the continuous lottery is also stored as the hold information, and when the specific information mode is used and the hold information stored after the winning is won in the rush lottery, the continuous lottery is executed. When the result of the continuous lottery is a winning, the variable display in the specific effect mode is also continued with respect to the variable display of the symbol related to the digestion of the hold information, while the result of the continuous lottery Is non-winning, the display of the symbols related to the digestion of the hold information is switched to the change display in the normal effect mode and the hold When the information is stored, if the result of the continuous lottery is a win, the result of the continuous lottery of the hold information, which is digested in priority over the hold information, is confirmed, and if the result is not won, the result is rewritten to win. It is also conceivable to employ a second configuration such as
By adopting such a second configuration, the specific effect mode is easily continued over a plurality of pieces of hold information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display unit returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode. Is not uniform, it is possible to provide the player with a less monotonous game with a variety of variations in the number of times the specific effect mode is continued than before.

Further, in the above-mentioned invention or the one employing the first configuration or the second configuration, the control means executes the rush lottery during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol in the normal effect mode, and the result is as follows. If it is a win, check the remaining time from the present time until the normal symbol becomes a fixed display in the variable display, and if the remaining time is a specific time or more, the variable display of the normal symbol in the normal effect mode It is also conceivable to adopt a third configuration in which the display is switched to the variable display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode despite the fact that it is medium.
By adopting such a third configuration, a novel effect that has not been provided in the past can be provided such that the display effect on the symbol display unit is suddenly switched to the specific effect mode during the change of the normal decorative symbol. be able to. In addition, even if there is only one hold number, the display effect on the symbol display unit can be switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode. It is easy to generate the pachinko machine (it is easy for the switching effect to appear), and it is possible to obtain a pachinko machine having a high playability.

  According to the present invention, when the hold information is generated after the mode is switched to the specific effect mode, the result of the jackpot lottery related to the hold information is not a predetermined result and is digested with priority over the hold information. If there is no hold information in which the jackpot lottery result is the predetermined result in the hold information, the continuous lottery is executed, and if the continuous lottery is won, the continuation in the hold information having a higher digestion priority than itself is performed. The lottery result of the lottery is set as the winning, and the display effect in the specific effect mode is continued at least until the variable display related to the hold information won in the continuous lottery. Therefore, the specific effect mode is easy to continue over a plurality of pieces of hold information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display unit returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode is not uniform. It is possible to provide the player with a variety of games that are less monotonous than the conventional game.

A payout control device 28 for controlling the payout operation, and a power supply device 29 for supplying a power supply voltage to each control board, device, and member are provided. Reference numeral 21 denotes a center cover formed in the shape of a cover made of a synthetic resin. Inside the center cover 21, a main control relating to a game (for example, a so-called "big hit lottery" or the like) is executed. A main control device 30 (shown in FIG. 4), a display control device 50 (shown in FIG. 4) for controlling the display operation and the like in the symbol display section 6, and a light emission control device 51 (for controlling the lighting / flashing operation and the like of the lamp member 15) FIG. 4), a sound control device 52 (shown in FIG. 4) for controlling the sound emitting operation from the speaker 14, and a sub-control device 40 for integrally controlling the operations of the display control device 50, the sound control device 52, and the like. (Shown in FIG. 4). Incidentally, 22 is a plug for connecting the pachinko machine 1 to a transformer, and 27 is a ground.

Next, a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 has a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members while executing the "big hit lottery", a storage means 33 such as a ROM and a RAM, a timer 34, and an interface 35 are mounted. Have been. The main control board 31 is connected to the starting winning port 19, the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the big winning device 18, the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, the special symbol display section 61, and the like via the interface 35. Have been. The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub integrated board 41 built in the sub control device 40.

  The storage means 33 includes a plurality of counters such as a c-counter used for “big hit lottery” and a d-counter for mainly determining a basic variation pattern (symbol variation pattern) which is a variation time of a special symbol or decorative symbol. ing. Each of the counters is a loop counter that performs a loop count while adding one by one in a very short time (eg, 2.000 ms per interrupt) according to a predetermined rule from the time of turning on the power. Obtaining the used numerical value can be regarded as obtaining a random number. The c counter performs loop counting between 0 and 700 (701 patterns), and the d counter performs loop counting between 0 and 30 (31 patterns). Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter and the d counter when the winning detection of the game ball into the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is performed (executes "big hit lottery"). , C counter is determined to be a predetermined “big hit value”.

  The storage means 33 stores a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display section 61 and a basic variation pattern determination table in which the values of the d counter and the basic variation pattern are associated with each other as shown in FIG. The basic fluctuation pattern mainly defines the fluctuation time (time from the start of the fluctuation to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol, and all the basic fluctuation patterns have a predetermined unit fluctuation time (here, a predetermined unit fluctuation time). (4.0 seconds). That is, the basic variation pattern A in which the variation display mode of the decorative symbol in the symbol display section 6 is a so-called normal deviation (no reach effect) is 8.0 seconds (double), and the basic variation pattern B in which the normal reach effect is present is This is 12.0 seconds (3 times). In addition, the basic variation pattern C in which the decorative display variation display mode in the symbol display section 6 has the long reach effect is 20.0 seconds (5 times), and the basic variation pattern D in which the super reach effect exists is 32.0 seconds. Seconds (8 times). Further, in the case where a game ball wins in the starting winning opening 19 while the special symbol is being displayed while being fluctuated on the special symbol display section 61, for example, the acquired numerical values of the c counter and the d counter associated with the winning are stored in the storage unit 33 ( A suspension information storage area for storing up to four pieces of winning information) as suspension information is provided. It should be noted that the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area is illuminated and displayed on the hold display section 20 to notify the player under the control of the sub-integrated board 41 as described later. Further, the hold information is sequentially digested in the order in which it is stored each time a special symbol and a decorative symbol are confirmed and displayed, and new hold information can be stored with the digestion.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage means 43, a timer 44, an interface 45 and the like are mounted. The sub integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52, When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal related to the jackpot lottery from the main control board 31 as described later, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content of the signal, and operates the speaker 14 and the lamp member 15 and the symbol display unit. 6, the display operation of the decorative symbol is controlled. Further, the push button 25, the hold display unit 20, and the like are also connected to the sub-integrated board 41 via the interface 45.

  The storage means 43 has a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a normal decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display section 6, a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbol, and a character effect using a moving image of the character. There is provided a normal variation pattern storage area 46 storing a plurality of detailed variation patterns (symbol variation patterns), such as the basic variation determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. It is stored in association with the pattern. Note that the normal reach effect is composed of a common fluctuation effect of 8.0 seconds until the reach is determined, and a first reach fluctuation effect of 4.0 seconds after the reach is determined. The long reach effect is composed of a common fluctuation effect of 8.0 seconds and a second reach fluctuation effect of 12.0 seconds after the reach is determined. Further, the super reach effect is composed of a common fluctuation effect of 8.0 seconds and a third reach fluctuation effect of 24.0 seconds after the reach is determined.

The basic game operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described below.
When the handle 9 is rotated by the player, the firing device 10 is operated, and the game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the firing passage 13. Then, when the game ball flowing down in the game area 16 wins the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (satisfies a predetermined condition), the winning is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from the c counter and the d counter at the timing of winning detection, and sets the numerical value of the c counter obtained this time to a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 300 ”)”. Based on whether or not there is a “big hit value”, a basic variation pattern corresponding to the acquired value of the d counter is temporarily determined as a pre-read determination based on whether or not it is the “big hit value”, and hold information as described later is stored. After executing the same control (for example, creation and transmission of schedule information), the special symbol display unit 61 checks whether or not the special symbol is being variably displayed and whether or not there is any pending information. If the special symbol is not fluctuating in the special symbol display section 61 and there is no pending information, the value of the c counter acquired this time is changed to a predetermined "big hit value (for example," 0 "or" 300 "). , That is, whether or not the result of the current “big hit lottery” is a “big hit” is determined again as a big hit determination. If the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit" (that is, the obtained numerical value is "big hit numerical value"), the obtained numerical value of the d counter is calculated using the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Read the corresponding basic variation pattern. On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out” (that is, the acquired numerical value is a numerical value other than the “big hit numerical value”), the d counter of the d counter is used by using the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Read the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value. After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including a result of the “big hit lottery” (whether it is “big hit” or “missing”) and information indicating the type of the read basic variation pattern (particularly variation time). At the same time, the start command is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 42. In addition, the special symbol is changed in the special symbol display section 61 in a predetermined manner, and time counting by the timer 34 is started. Then, when the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern elapses, the special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is fixedly displayed (in the case of “big hit”, the special hit symbol design mode “3” or “7”). , And in the case of “out of position”, each is confirmed and displayed by “−”), and a confirmation command including a confirmation signal is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 42.

On the other hand, if the special symbol is being displayed on the special symbol display section 61 in a variable manner, or if there is the hold information when the presence or absence of the hold information is confirmed, the special symbol is displayed based on the numerical values obtained by the c counter and d counter associated with the winning. The read-ahead determination is performed, and the acquired numerical values of the c counter and the d counter are stored as suspension information. Also, each time a special symbol is confirmed and displayed, it is determined whether or not the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit" for the oldest hold information among the stored hold information as a big hit determination, and the start command is determined. The same control as that described above, such as transmission, is executed, and the oldest suspension information is deleted from the suspension information storage area. Furthermore, if the number of pieces of hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, it is not necessary to execute the look-ahead determination of the acquired values of the c counter and the d counter, Delete the acquired numerical value without storing it as hold information.
Regarding the opening / closing operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, when a game ball passes through a gate member (not shown) provided in the game area 16, "lottery" is obtained by obtaining random numbers in the same manner as "big hit lottery". Is performed, and the wings of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 are opened for a predetermined set time only when winning.

  On the other hand, upon receiving the start command, the sub-integrated CPU 42 determines a decorative symbol to be finally displayed in accordance with the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, and determines from the normal fluctuation pattern storage area 46 While reading the detailed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the basic fluctuation pattern and counting the time by the timer 44, the decorative symbol on the symbol display section 6 is variably displayed according to the read detailed fluctuation pattern. Then, in accordance with the reception of the confirmation command, the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit 6. In other words, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, it is confirmed and displayed in a big hit decorative pattern display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “7 / 7.7”) in which three identical decorative patterns are arranged. Let it. If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “missing”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is finally displayed in a different decorative symbol display mode (eg, “1.2.3”).

  If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, the main CPU 32 displays the start of the “big hit state” after confirming the display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol. A “big hit state” is generated which includes an intermittent opening for a predetermined number of times and an end demonstration for notifying the end of the “big hit state”. On the other hand, if the result of the "big hit lottery" is "missing", if the hold information exists after the final display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol, the determination of the result of the "big hit lottery" is performed on the oldest hold information. When the hold information does not exist, when a game ball is awarded to the next starting winning port 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, "big hit lottery" and determination of the result are executed.

(Switching effect of symbol change pattern during symbol change)
Here, the effect of switching the variable display effect from the display effect using the normal decorative pattern to the display effect using the specific decorative pattern during the change of the decorative symbol in the symbol display unit 6 which is a main part of the present invention. explain.
As described above, when storing the acquired value of the c counter as the hold information, the main CPU 32 once determines whether the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the hold information is a “big hit” as a pre-read determination. Then, the pre-reading information including the result of the pre-reading determination and the number of the hold information based on the hold information are transmitted to the sub integrated board 41 as schedule information. It should be noted that the information stored as the hold information is only the acquired numerical value, and the jackpot determination is executed again when the hold information is consumed, and the above-described control such as transmission of the start command is executed.

  On the other hand, the storage means 43 of the sub integrated board 41 is provided with a schedule information storage area 47 for storing the received schedule information. Then, upon receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47, turns on one LED in the hold display unit 20, and increases the total lighting count by one. Further, based on the reception of the start command, the oldest schedule information is deleted from the schedule information storage area 47, and one LED is turned off in the hold display unit 20 to reduce the total number of lights by one.

  Furthermore, a specific symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a specific decorative symbol (specific symbol) to be displayed on the symbol display unit 6 only when a specific condition is satisfied, A specific variation pattern storage area 48 is provided which stores a specific variation pattern (specific design variation pattern) including a detailed variation display mode of the specific decorative symbol and an animation effect using a moving image of the character. The specific decorative pattern is composed of numbers, alphabets, kanji, symbols, and the like of "0" to "9", and is different in shape, color, size, and the like from a normal decorative pattern. Further, the fluctuation time of the specific detailed fluctuation pattern is the above-mentioned unit fluctuation time (specific time, which is 4.0 seconds in this case), and the specific decoration pattern is displayed on a specific background display in the unit fluctuation time. After that, temporary stop display is performed in a predetermined display mode. In addition, the temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol may be a display for completely stopping the specific decorative symbol at the same stop display position as the final display position for final display, or the stop display without completely stopping the specific decorative symbol. The display may be such that the specific decorative design is slightly shaken from the position to the top, bottom, left, or right. Further, the confirmed display position and the stop display position do not have to be exactly the same position.

Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes control as shown in FIG. 7 each time the schedule information is received in a state where the normal decorative symbol is variably displayed on the symbol display section 6.
First, upon receiving the schedule information created by the main CPU 32, the sub-integrated CPU 42 determines whether or not the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the current variable display is “big hit”, and is more digestive than the received schedule information. It is determined whether or not the schedule information having the higher priority (old schedule information) includes the schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” (S1). That is, the sub-integrated CPU serves as the big hit determination means 55. Then, if the result of the "big hit lottery" related to the current variable display is "big hit", or if there is schedule information whose result of "big hit lottery" is "big hit" in the schedule information older than the received schedule information, When a determination is made (determined as YES in S1), a normal decorative pattern is fixedly displayed according to the above-described control without executing the control as described later (S2). That is, when the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the current variable display is “big hit”, the normal decorative symbol is fixedly displayed in the big hit decorative symbol display mode. In addition, when there is schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the schedule information older than the received schedule information, the current fluctuation display and the result of the “big hit lottery” are “big hit”. For the variable display related to the schedule information having a higher priority of digestion than certain schedule information, the normal decoration pattern is deviated from the normal decoration pattern and displayed in the decoration pattern display mode, and the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit". In the variable display according to the above, the normal decorative pattern is fixedly displayed in the big hit decorative pattern display mode.

  On the other hand, the result of the “big hit lottery” according to the current variable display is not “big hit”, and there is no schedule information whose result of “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the schedule information older than the received schedule information. (Determined as NO in S1), it is determined whether or not to switch the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 from the display effect using the normal decorative symbol to the display effect using the specific decorative symbol. It is determined by a lottery using acquisition (hereinafter, this lottery is called a rush lottery, and the winning probability of the rush lottery is 1/73) (S3). In other words, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the rush lottery means 56 and the result of the rush lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S3), the normal decorative symbol is definitely displayed according to the above-described control (S2). That is, it is determined and displayed in the off-decorative symbol display mode.

  On the other hand, if the result of the rush lottery is a win (determined as YES in S3), the remaining time of the variable display by the current normal decorative symbol (the time from when the schedule information is received until the decorative symbol is finally displayed). It is determined whether or not is longer than the unit variation time (S4). That is, the sub-integrated CPU 42 functions as the remaining time checking means 57, and if the remaining time is less than the unit change time (determined as NO in S4), the current change display is determined by the normal decoration pattern (outside decoration pattern display mode). It is displayed (S5). Thereafter, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching means 58, and upon receiving the start command relating to the schedule information having the highest priority of digestion, changes the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display section 6 to the specific decorative symbol, and In accordance with the specific detailed fluctuation pattern read from the fluctuation pattern storage area 48, the specific decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner and stopped (S6). On the other hand, if the remaining time is equal to or longer than the unit variation time (determined as YES in S4), the time until the current variation display becomes the final display is a natural number multiple (1 to 7 times) of the unit variation time. After setting the timing closest to the present time as the switching timing (S7), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching unit 58 at the switching timing, and the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is changed to the normal decoration. The design is changed from the design to the specific decoration design, and the specific decoration design is variably displayed and temporarily stopped according to the specific detailed variation pattern read from the specific variation pattern storage area 48 (S6). When the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is switched to the specific detailed variation pattern as described above, at least about the variation display related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery (that is, the schedule information won in the rush lottery) The display effect according to the specific detailed variation pattern stored in the specific variation pattern storage area 48 is continued. Since the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the process from receiving the schedule information to checking the remaining time within a very short time, it is assumed that the timing for checking the remaining time and the timing for receiving the schedule information are the same. No problem. Further, when the finalization command is received from the main control board 31 during the temporary stop display, the specific decorative symbol is finally displayed in the same display mode as the temporary stop display.

  Here, a specific description will be given of the display operation when the above-mentioned rush lottery is won. The present fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern A, and the timing at which the schedule information is received is 6 seconds after the start of the fluctuation. , Since the remaining time is only 2.0 seconds (that is, NO is determined in S4), with respect to the variable display, the decorative command is deviated from the normal decorative pattern by the confirmation command received after 2.0 seconds. It is determined and displayed in a manner (S5). However, when starting the change of the symbol according to the next schedule information (reception of the start command), the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display section 6 is changed to the specific decorative symbol, and the specific symbol read from the specific variable pattern storage area 48 is changed. In accordance with the detailed variation pattern, the specific decoration symbol is varied and temporarily stopped (S6). That is, the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is changed from the normal effect mode in which the normal decorative pattern is changed according to the detailed change pattern stored in the normal change pattern storage area 46 to the specific decorative pattern in the specific change pattern storage area 48. The mode is switched to the specific effect mode in which the fluctuation display and the temporary stop display are performed according to the stored specific detailed fluctuation pattern. At this time, the specific detailed fluctuation pattern is the unit fluctuation time as described above, and all the basic fluctuation patterns are natural numbers times the unit fluctuation time. For example, the basic fluctuation pattern of the next schedule information is the basic fluctuation time. In the case of the pattern C, the display of the specific decorative symbol in the specific detailed change pattern and the temporary stop display are repeated five times, and then the specific decorative symbol is fixedly displayed in the display mode of the fifth temporary stop display. In other words, in the case of a display effect using a normal decorative symbol, an effect is performed in which the normal decorative symbol starts to fluctuate and stops display (fixed display) after a long reach effect in relation to digestion of one piece of schedule information. However, in the display effect using the specific decorative symbol, an effect in which the specific decorative symbol starts to change and becomes the stop display (temporary stop display and the fixed display) in association with the digestion of one piece of schedule information is repeatedly executed five times. Will be. Therefore, from a player's point of view, the number of holds displayed on the hold display unit 20 does not match the number of symbol changes in the symbol display unit 6, and a plurality of change displays are executed in one hold. You will feel as if you are. Then, the display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern is continued at least with respect to the variation display related to the schedule information that has won the rush lottery.

  Further, if the current fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern B, and the timing at which the schedule information is received is 3.0 seconds from the start of the fluctuation, the remaining time is as long as 9.0 seconds (that is, the remaining time is 9.0 seconds). Since it is determined as YES in S4), the timing at which the time until the final display becomes 8.0 seconds (the timing of shifting from the common fluctuation effect to the first reach fluctuation effect after the reach is determined) is changed from the normal effect mode to the specific effect. The switching timing to switch to the mode is set as the switching timing (S7). At the switching timing, the decorative symbol is set to the specific decorative symbol, and the variation display and the temporary stop display of the specific decoration symbol by the specific detailed variation pattern are repeated twice in 8.0 seconds. (S6) After that, upon receiving the confirmation command, the specific decoration symbol is confirmed and displayed in the display mode of the second temporary stop display. Then, when the next start command is received, the variable display related to the schedule information having the highest digestion priority is started, and this variable display is specified by the specific detailed variable pattern in accordance with the basic variable pattern as described above. This is an effect in which the display of the decoration design is repeatedly changed and temporarily stopped. That is, the display effect based on the specific detailed change pattern switched during the current change display continues at least with respect to the change display related to the scheduled information that has won the rush lottery.

  Further, if the current fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern D, and the timing at which the schedule information is received is 25 seconds from the start of the fluctuation, there is a remaining time of 7 seconds (that is, YES is determined in S4). Therefore, the timing at which the time until the final display is 4.0 seconds (the timing during the execution of the third reach fluctuation effect after the reach is determined) is set as the switching timing for switching from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode ( S7) At the switching timing, the decorative symbol is set as the specific decorative symbol, and the variable display and the temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol according to the specific detailed variation pattern are executed once in 4.0 seconds (S6), and then the first time. The specific decorative symbol is fixedly displayed with the display mode in the temporary stop display. That is, during the so-called super reach effect on the symbol display unit 6, the decorative symbol is suddenly switched to the specific decorative symbol, and a display effect using a specific detail variation pattern completely different from the super reach effect is executed.

  When the variable display and the temporary stop display are repeated, the display mode of the specific decorative symbol at the time of the temporary stop display is an out-of-specified decorative symbol display mode in which at least one specific decorative symbol among the three specific decorative symbols is different, for example. ing. When the result of the "big hit lottery" related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery is "big hit", the display mode of the specific decorative symbol at the time of the last temporary stop display in the variable display of the schedule information, that is, the schedule The stop display mode of the specific decorative symbol at the timing of receiving the confirmation command relating to the digestion of information may be, for example, a jackpot specific decorative symbol display mode in which three identical specific decorative symbols are arranged. At this time, not only the display mode in the final temporary stop display but also the temporary stop display in the middle may be changed to the special jackpot specific decorative symbol display mode, and the temporary stop display may be repeated in the special jackpot specific decorative symbol display mode. . Further, at the timing when the reach is determined based on the normal detailed variation pattern (that is, at the timing of transition from the common variation effect to the first to third reach variation effects), the decorative symbol is changed from the specific decorative symbol to the normal decorative symbol. It is also possible to change the display effect from a specific detailed variation pattern to a normal detailed variation pattern.

  Next, after winning the rush lottery, when the schedule information is received during the variable display of the decorative symbol (which may be either normal or specific depending on the timing) on the symbol display section 6, each time the schedule information is received, as shown in FIG. Execute control. In addition, it is determined by the control as shown in FIG. 9 whether or not the fluctuation display in the specific detailed fluctuation pattern related to the schedule information generated by winning the rush lottery is performed across the schedule information.

  First, after winning the rush lottery, the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the schedule information during the variation display of the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 6, and the result of the “big hit lottery” is added to the schedule information older than the received schedule information. It is determined whether or not the schedule information of "big hit" exists (S11). That is, the sub integrated CPU 42 becomes the jackpot determining means 55, and determines that the schedule information older than the received schedule information includes the schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” (determines YES in S11). , Without executing the control described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the schedule information older than the received schedule information does not include the schedule information in which the result of the “big hit” is “big hit” (determined as NO in S11), the schedule information related to the received schedule information is determined. It is determined whether or not the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit" (S12). That is, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 again becomes the big hit determination means 55 and determines that the result of the “big hit lottery” is not “big hit” (determined as NO in S12), the display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern is added to the schedule information. Whether or not to continue to the fluctuation display is determined by a lottery using acquisition of random numbers (hereinafter, this lottery is referred to as a continuous lottery, and the winning probability of the continuous lottery is 1/8) (S13). ). That is, if the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S13), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the continuous lottery means 59, and the fact is included in the plan information and stored in the plan information storage area 47 ( After S14), the process ends. Note that, apart from the continuous lottery, the same rush lottery as in S2 is also performed at the same timing as the continuous lottery (that is, the lottery as the rush lottery means 56 is also performed in S13), and the result of the rush lottery is also determined in S14. It is included in the schedule information.

  On the other hand, if the result of the continuous lottery is a winning (YES in S13), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information rewriting means 54, and if the result of the continuous lottery for the schedule information older than itself is non-winning, the result of the continuous lottery Is rewritten as a winning, and the fact that the result of the continuous lottery for the player itself is a winning is included in the schedule information and stored in the schedule information storage area 47 (S15), and then the process ends. Further, when it is determined in S12 that the result of the "big hit lottery" related to the schedule information is "big hit", the same control as when the result of the continuous lottery is a winning is executed. In other words, the process proceeds to S15, where the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information rewriting means 54, and if the result of the continuous lottery for the schedule information older than itself is non-winning, the result of the continuous lottery is rewritten to win, and The fact that the result of the lottery is a winning is included in the schedule information and stored in the schedule information storage area 47. Therefore, when it is determined that the result of the "big hit" according to the schedule information is "big hit", it can be said that the result of the continuous lottery is unconditionally won.

  Then, in the sub-integrated CPU 42, when the fluctuation display in the specific detailed fluctuation pattern related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery ends (that is, when the confirmation command is received), it is determined whether or not the next schedule information to be digested exists. Confirmation (S21). In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 functions as the schedule information confirming means 53, and when the schedule information to be exhausted exists (determined as YES in S21), the continuous lottery of the schedule information to be exhausted this time is received upon receiving the start command related to the schedule information. Is confirmed (S22). In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 again becomes the schedule information confirming means 53, and if the result of the continuous lottery is a win (determined as YES in S22), the variable display related to the schedule information is also specified using the specific decorative symbol. The display effect in the detailed variation pattern is continued (S23), and the process returns to S21 again with the reception of the confirmation command related to the schedule information.

  On the other hand, if the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S22), the result of the rush lottery relating to the scheduled information to be processed this time is confirmed (S24). In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 again becomes the schedule information confirmation means 53, and if the result of the rush lottery is a win (determined YES in S24), the variable display related to the schedule information is performed in the same manner as in the case determined YES in S22. , The display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative pattern is continued (S23), and the process returns to S21 again with the reception of the confirmation command related to the schedule information. On the other hand, if the result of the rush lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S24), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching means 58, and changes the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display section 6 from the specific decorative symbol to the normal decorative symbol. In addition, the display returns to the normal display effect in which the decorative pattern is displayed in a variable and fixed manner in accordance with the detailed fluctuation pattern read from the normal fluctuation pattern storage area 46 (S25).

  If there is no schedule information to be consumed next (if NO is determined in S21), the symbol display unit 6 continues the stop display with the specific decorative symbol (the stop display with the final display mode). With the reception of the schedule information transmitted from the main CPU 32 when the game ball has won the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the rush lottery means 56 and performs the same rush lottery as described above. Is executed (S26). Then, the result of the rush lottery is confirmed in S24, and the same control as described above is executed depending on whether the rush lottery is successful or not.

  Here, a specific description will be given of the display operation based on the result of the continuous lottery or the rush lottery, the presence or absence of the schedule information, and the like. For example, consider a situation in which there are two holds (that is, two pieces of schedule information), and the result of both the “big hit lottery” and the continuous lottery is out of any of the pieces of schedule information. In this situation, when the game ball further wins in the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the jackpot determination and the continuous lottery are naturally executed for the schedule information related to the winning (S12, S13). If the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit" or the continuous lottery is a winning, the result of the continuous lottery is also rewritten to the winning for the two pieces of schedule information having high priority of digestion (S15), and at least these three Until the variable display relating to the eye schedule information is completed, the display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative symbol is continued (S21 to S23).

  In addition, after the third schedule information is obtained, the fluctuation display related to the third schedule information is displayed without the winning of the game ball starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 occurring at least once. When the process is completed (NO in S21), the stop display in the specific decorative symbol is continued with the background used in the specific detailed variation pattern until a new prize is generated next time. Note that the sub-integrated CPU 42 pre-reads whether or not there is schedule information that needs to be digested next during the current fluctuation display effect, and when ending the current fluctuation display without the schedule information. In the last specific detailed fluctuation pattern in the current fluctuation display, an animation of closing the door is added. Therefore, the display mode is such that the specific decorative symbol is stopped and displayed on the background display with the door closed. Then, when a new prize is generated, a rush lottery is executed according to the schedule information related to the prize (S26). If the rush lottery is a winning, an animation of opening the door is displayed, and then the specific decorative symbol is displayed. The display effect in the used specific detailed variation pattern is continued (S23). At this time, a message notifying the continuation (for example, “Not yet!”) May be additionally displayed on the symbol display unit 6. On the other hand, if the rush lottery is not won, an animation for opening the door is displayed, and then the display is returned to the normal decorative pattern fluctuation display according to the normal detailed fluctuation pattern (S25), that is, in the symbol display section 6. The display effect is switched from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  On the other hand, when the continuous lottery relating to the third schedule information is released and the variable display relating to the oldest schedule information is started before the next new prize is generated, the result of the rush lottery of the oldest schedule information is performed. (S22), and the display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative symbol is continued only when the rush lottery is won (S23). The sub-integrated CPU 42 also pre-reads the success or failure of the subsequent lottery of the next schedule information during the current fluctuation display effect, and when ending the current fluctuation display with the result of the continuous lottery being out, the same as above. , An animation of closing the door in the last specific detailed fluctuation pattern in the current fluctuation display. Then, when starting the variable display of the next schedule information (here, the oldest schedule information), the result of the rush lottery is confirmed (S24), and if the rush lottery is a winning, an animation of opening the door is displayed. Above, the display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative symbol is continued (S23). Also at this time, a message notifying the continuation may be additionally displayed on the symbol display unit 6 in the same manner as described above. On the other hand, if the rush lottery is not won, an animation for opening the door is displayed, and then the display is returned to the normal decorative pattern fluctuation display according to the normal detailed fluctuation pattern (S25), that is, in the symbol display section 6. The display effect is switched from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  In the state where there is no hold in the symbol display section 6 and the normal decorative symbol is stopped in the fixed display, the winning of the game ball to the start winning port 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is not performed. When this occurs, the same control as in S24 to S26 in FIG. 9 is executed. That is, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes a rush lottery in response to the reception of the schedule information, and changes the normal decorative design to the specific decorative design only when the rush lottery is a winning. Is a variable display according to a specific detailed fluctuation pattern using a specific decorative design.

(Effect of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 that executes the above-described control, when a game ball wins in the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, a rush lottery is executed, and when the rush lottery is won, the symbol display unit 6 After switching the display effect from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, and after switching to the specific effect mode, each time the schedule information is received, whether to continue the display effect in the specific effect mode across multiple schedule information In addition to executing the continuous lottery to determine whether or not to win, if you win the continuous lottery, if the result of the continuous lottery in the schedule information with higher priority of digestion is out of place, rewrite it as winning, at least win the continuous lottery The display effect in the specific effect mode is continued until the variable display according to the scheduled information. For this reason, the specific effect mode is likely to continue over a plurality of schedule information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode is not uniform. Therefore, the number of continuations of the specific effect mode is rich in variations, and a less monotonous game than before can be provided to the player.

  In addition, when schedule information (that is, hold information) is generated while the decorative symbols are being displayed in a variable manner in the normal effect mode, the remaining time related to the variable display is confirmed together with the execution of the rush lottery. If the player wins the rush lottery and the remaining time is equal to or longer than a specific time (predetermined unit fluctuation time in the embodiment), the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 during the fluctuation display is changed from the normal effect mode to the specific effect. Switch to mode. Therefore, it is possible to provide an unprecedented novel effect in which the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is suddenly switched to the specific effect mode during the change of the normal decorative symbol. In addition, even if there is only one hold number, the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 can be switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode. Is likely to occur (and, consequently, a switching effect is likely to appear), and the pachinko machine 1 with high gaming properties can be provided.

  Furthermore, when the variation time of the specific detailed variation pattern is the unit variation time, and the remaining time is equal to or greater than the unit variation time, the symbol display is performed at a timing when the time until the final display becomes a natural number N times the unit variation time. The display effect in the unit 6 is switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, and the specific detailed variation pattern, that is, the specific decoration symbol, is fluctuated and temporarily stopped repeatedly N times. Therefore, since the timing at which the display effect is switched on the symbol display unit 6 is different based on the timing at which the schedule information is acquired, the taste is further increased, and the number of holds on the hold display unit 20 is changed, and the variation of the specific decorative symbol is changed. A new display effect that the number of times does not match can be provided to the player.

  In addition, since the fluctuation time of the basic fluctuation patterns A to D is a natural number N times the unit fluctuation time that is the specific time, for example, after switching to the specific effect mode, the display effects in the specific effect mode are changed to a plurality of times. In the case of continuing over a prize, or in the case of switching to the specific effect mode at the start of the change of the symbol, it can be easily coped with simply by determining the number of repetitions of the variable display and the temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol. .

(About the modified example of the present invention)
Note that the configuration of the pachinko machine of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment at all, and the configuration of the entire pachinko machine, the configuration of the content of the jackpot state and the game state after the end of the jackpot state, and the control mechanism Can be appropriately changed as necessary without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning probability of the rush lottery or the continuous lottery is uniform, but the winning probability of the rush lottery or the continuous lottery may be changed according to the number of times the special symbol changes. That is, for example, after the power is turned on or the “big hit state” is over, when the number of times the special symbol starts to change reaches the 71st, the winning probability of the rush lottery is greatly improved, and the number of times the special symbol starts the change until the 90th starts. If the improvement state is continued and the display effect is returned to the display effect based on the normal detailed fluctuation pattern at the 91st time, the winning probability of the rush lottery may be set to a low probability. Then, when the number of times of starting the change of the special symbol reaches the 131th time, a control is considered that the winning probability of the rush lottery is greatly improved again. In addition, if the display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern is continued at the 91st time and finally continues to the 93rd time, the control to greatly improve the winning probability of the rush lottery again from the 134th time, not the 131st time. Alternatively, the control may be such that the winning probability of the rush lottery is improved for a predetermined period every predetermined number of times after the display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern ends. Needless to say, the winning probabilities of the rush lottery and the continuous lottery are not limited to the probabilities of the above embodiment.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, only one type of variation time is a unit variation time as a specific detail variation pattern, but a variation time at the time of switching when the variation time used when switching during the symbol variation is a specific time, A plurality of types of specific detailed variation patterns having different variation times corresponding to the types of the basic variation pattern used during the continuation may be provided. In this case, there is no problem even if the specific time of the switching fluctuation pattern is made to correspond to the fluctuation time of the predetermined basic fluctuation pattern, and the switching fluctuation pattern is used while continuing.

Further, in the above embodiment, the fluctuation time is twice or more the unit fluctuation time in all of the basic fluctuation patterns, but the fluctuation time is the same as the unit fluctuation time (ie, 1 time). A pattern may be set. For example, when the number of reservations reaches the maximum value, such a configuration that such a basic variation pattern is selected is considered.
Furthermore, for example, when a winning in the starting winning opening 19 occurs in a situation where there is no hold information, in the above-described embodiment, when a rush lottery is won, the change is started from the start of the change of the symbol in the specific decorative symbol. Alternatively, the display effect may be switched to a display effect in which, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the change of the symbol, the variable display and the temporary stop display with the specific decorative symbol are repeated according to the specific detailed variable pattern.

Also, instead of continuing the display effect with the specific detailed variation pattern until the final display is reached, it is configured to return to the normal decorative design display effect according to the detailed variation pattern until the final display. You may.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the rush lottery is won, the number of repetitions of the change display and the temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol is determined according to the remaining time, but not only the remaining time but also the symbol change time. (For example, if the symbol variation time is 20 seconds, the remaining time is repeated only twice, no matter how long the symbol variation time is, and only if the symbol variation time is 32 seconds). , Three or more times).

  Further, in the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not the schedule information older than the schedule information received in S1 includes the schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, and the entry is made based on the determination result. Although it is determined whether or not to execute the lottery, even if the schedule information older than the received schedule information includes the schedule information where the result of "big hit" is "big hit", the rush lottery is executed Then, in the case of winning, the display effect on the symbol display unit is switched to the display effect according to the specific detailed variation pattern, that is, in S1, the schedule information older than the received schedule information is changed to "big hit lottery". It is also possible to configure so as not to determine whether or not there is schedule information whose result is “big hit”. If the result of the "big hit lottery" is "big hit" in the schedule information that is older than the received schedule information, and the result of the "big hit lottery" is " The display effect by the specific detailed fluctuation pattern is continued until the fluctuation display related to the schedule information that is ", and after the" big hit state ", the display effect on the symbol display unit is controlled again by the display effect by the specific detailed fluctuation pattern. It may be configured as follows. Also, the result of the rush lottery or the like may be reset when the "big hit state" occurs (that is, the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative pattern is ended).

Further, in the above embodiment, the variation times of all the basic variation patterns are set to a natural number times the unit variation time of the specific detail variation pattern. However, if a plurality of specific detail variation patterns having different variation times are provided as described above, It is not necessary to set the fluctuation times of all the basic fluctuation patterns to a natural number times the unit fluctuation time of the specific detailed fluctuation pattern.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the hold display unit 20 is provided separately from the symbol display unit 6, but the number of holds is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 (that is, the symbol display unit 6 functions as a hold display unit). It is also possible to have such a configuration. Further, it is determined whether or not the result of the "big hit" according to the schedule information received in S12 is a "big hit". If the result is "big hit", the result of the continuous lottery is unconditionally determined as a winning. S12 may be omitted, that is, even if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, a configuration in which the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern ends may be configured.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, that is, a main control device and a sub-control device. However, the control may be performed by one main control device. The main control device may be provided with a storage means having a specific fluctuation pattern storage area or a normal detailed fluctuation pattern storage area, and when controlling with one main control apparatus, there is no need to create schedule information and the like. In this case, the rush lottery or the continuous lottery may be executed using only the hold information.
Further, in the above embodiment, the start command and the confirmation command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub-control device. However, the confirmation command is not transmitted by using the timer of the sub-control device. There is no problem at all.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko machine using two kinds of symbols, the special symbol and the decorative symbol, is described. However, if the pachinko machine uses only the special symbol, the special symbol is displayed on the symbol display section. At the same time, when the rush lottery is won, the special symbol can be changed to a specific special symbol (specific symbol).
In addition, all elements described in the claims, the description, and the drawings of the claims may be single or plural, unless explicitly described as limiting the number. The arrangement may be changed as appropriate. It is a matter of design that a person skilled in the art can easily configure these elements separately or as appropriate integrally. Therefore, in manufacturing the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the right according to the present invention was avoided merely by adopting the structural difference within the above range just because it is not described in the embodiment. It doesn't matter.

Claims (1)

A starting winning opening in which a game ball can be won, a symbol display means for displaying a symbol, a large winning device that can be opened, and a control means for controlling an operation related to the game are provided.
The control means performs a jackpot lottery based on the detection of a winning of the game ball into the starting winning port, and determines at least the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol variation time based on the result of the jackpot lottery. Over the determined symbol variation time, after variably displaying the symbol according to the detailed variation pattern that is the symbol variation display mode, with the elapse of the symbol variation time, the symbol is determined in the determined final display mode. When the result of the jackpot lottery is a predetermined result, the symbol is confirmed and displayed, and then a gaming state in which the special winning device is opened in a predetermined mode is generated.
When a winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening is detected during the display of the symbol change, information relating to the determination of the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol change time is stored up to a predetermined number as hold information, and the symbol is stored. The confirmation information is sequentially digested each time the confirmation display is performed,
Further, the control means stores at least a normal symbol and a specific symbol different from the normal symbol as the symbol, and, as the detailed variation pattern, a normal detailed variation which is a detailed variation pattern of the normal symbol. A normal effect mode in which at least a pattern and a specific detailed variation pattern that is a detailed variation pattern of the specific symbol are stored, and the normal symbol is variably displayed according to the normal detailed variation pattern; and the specific symbol is the specific detail. A pachinko machine that appropriately switches between a specific effect mode in which a variation display is performed according to a variation pattern,
The control means determines the result of the jackpot lottery related to the winning in advance due to the winning of the game ball into the starting winning opening, and the digest is preferentially digested over the hold information related to the winning. Regarding the hold information, it is determined whether or not there is the hold information in which the result of the jackpot lottery is the predetermined result,
Further, in the specific effect mode, the jackpot lottery result related to the prize is not the predetermined result, and the jackpot is included in the hold information that is digested with priority over the hold information related to the prize. The continuous lottery is executed when there is no hold information in which the result of the lottery is the predetermined result,
When the continuous lottery is executed during the change display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode, the result of the continuous lottery is also stored as the hold information, and the result of the continuous lottery is used when the hold information is digested. Confirmation, if the result of the continuous lottery is a win, while the variable display in the specific effect mode is also continued for the variable display of the symbols related to the digestion of the hold information, while the result of the continuous lottery is not If there is, for the variable display of the symbols related to the digestion of the hold information, switch to the variable display in the normal effect mode,
Furthermore, if the result of the continuous lottery is a win when storing the hold information, the result of the continuous lottery of the hold information, which is digested in preference to the hold information, is a win, and at least the A pachinko machine characterized in that the variation display in the specific effect mode is continued until the variation display of the symbols related to digestion.
