In the right side region R2a, the first large winning opening 29 is disposed more upstream than the second starting opening 27, the second large winning opening 31, and the second general winning opening 35. In the right side region R2a, the second starting opening 27 is disposed upstream of the second large winning opening 31.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a first probability state and a second probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability that a jackpot will be won in a jackpot lottery performed as an internal lottery. When it is the first probability state, the probability of winning a big hit is the first probability (for example, 1/300), and when it is the second probability state, the probability of winning a big hit is the second probability (for example, 1/32) It becomes. The second probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the first probability state. In the second probability state, the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in the first probability state. The second probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability state)". On the other hand, the first probability state is a so-called "non-probability fluctuation state (non-probability state)".

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the probability of becoming a big hit (wining probability of big hit lottery) differs depending on whether it is the first probability state or the second probability state. There is no difference in the probability of becoming a big hit triggered by the entry into any of them. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability of being a small hit (the winning probability of a small hit lottery) does not differ depending on which of the first probability state and the second probability state it is. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability of being a small hit triggered by entering the second starting opening 27 is higher than the probability of becoming a big hit triggered by entering the second starting opening 27. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the probability of becoming a small hit triggered by entering the second starting opening 27 is the probability of being missed by entering the second starting opening 27 (big hit lottery and small hit lottery Higher than the probability of not winning). In the present embodiment, the probability of becoming a big hit triggered by the ball entering the second starting opening 27 is lower than the probability of being missed due to the ball entering the second starting opening 27. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the second special game is executed by entering the game ball into the second starting opening 27, the majority is a small hit and a small hit game is generated. There are few opportunities to become

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a first variation time state and a second variation time state as gaming states in which the variation time of at least the second special game is different among the first special game and the second special game. The second fluctuation time state is a gaming state in which the fluctuation time of at least the second special game of the first special game and the second special game is shorter (or easily shortened) than the first fluctuation time state. . Note that "at least the fluctuation time of the second special game is shortened (or tends to be shortened)" is not limited to the fact that the fluctuation time of the second special game is necessarily short, but the fluctuation time of the second special game is shortened. In some cases, it may be long, and it is intended to shorten the average time of fluctuation of the second special game. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the second variation time state, the variation time is shorter in both of the first special game and the second special game than in the first variation time state (or Tend to be short)

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the time of the second special game when being controlled to the first fluctuation time state exceeds a predetermined fluctuation time (for example, 4 minutes or 8 minutes). Specifically, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the second special game when being controlled to the first fluctuation time state is 10 minutes regardless of the result of the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the second special game when being controlled to the second fluctuation time state does not exceed the predetermined fluctuation time. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the variation time of the second special game when the second special game is executed in the case of being controlled to the second variation time state and is a small hit is the first variation It is shorter than the fluctuation time of the second special game when the second special game is executed in the case of being controlled to the time state and becoming a small hit.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a first entering state and a second entering state as gaming states in which the degree of advantage with regard to entering the gaming ball into the second starting opening 27 is different. The second entering state is more advantageous for entering the gaming ball into the second starting opening 27 than the first entering state. Specifically, the second entering state is a playing state in which the opening time of the first variable member 28 when the normal hit game is generated is longer than the first entering state. Incidentally, as a method of changing the opening time of the first variable member 28 when the normal hit game is generated, there is a method of changing the number of times the first variable member 28 is opened in one normal hit game, The opening time when the first variable member 28 is in the open state or the total opening time in which the first variable member 28 is in the open state in one normal hit game may be made different.

  In addition, as the gaming state, it may be configured to be able to control the gaming state in which the winning probability of the regular hit lottery is different. For example, the normal hit high probability state and the normal hit low probability state can be configured to be controlled as the gaming state, and the normal hit high probability state is a probability of winning normally in the normal hit lottery compared to the normal hit low probability state. The game state may be high. Moreover, even if it is controlled to be in the normal hit high probability state when being controlled to the second entering state and configured to be controlled to the normal hitting low probability state when being controlled to the first entering state Good.

  Further, as the gaming state, it may be configured to be able to control a gaming state in which the variation time of the normal game is different. For example, the normal shortening state and the non-normal shortening state can be controlled as the gaming state, and the normal shortening state is a game in which the variation time of the normal game is shorter (or tends to be shorter) than the non-normal shortening state. It may be in the state. It should be noted that "the variation time of the normal game is shortened (or tends to be shortened)" is not limited to the fact that the variation time of the normal game is always short, but the variation time of the normal game may be shortened if it is long It is intended that the average time of variation time of the normal game will be short.

  And as a gaming state controlled in pachinko gaming machine 10, "a gaming state controlled to a first probability state, a first variation time state and a first ball entering state", and "a second probability state, a first variation" There is a game state controlled to the time state and the first ball entry state. The gaming state controlled in the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes "second probability state, second fluctuation time state, and first ball entering state". In addition, as the gaming state controlled in pachinko gaming machine 10, “first probability state, second variation time state and second ball entering state”, “second probability state, second variation time state and second entering” There is "ball state" and. In the following description, "the game state controlled to the first probability state, the first variation time state, and the first ball entry state" are referred to as "the normally low probability state", the "second probability state, the first variation time state and the first [1] The gaming state controlled to be in the ball entering state may be indicated as "normally high certainty state". In the following description, "the second probability state, the second variation time state, and the first ball entry state" are referred to as "special advantageous state", "the first probability state, the second variation time state, and the second ball entry state". In some cases, “specific low probability state”, “second probability state, second variation time state, and second entering state” may be indicated as “specific high probability state”. In the present embodiment, the normally low certainty state corresponds to the first gaming state, the special advantageous state corresponds to the second gaming state, and the specific high certainty state corresponds to the third gaming state.

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of big hit symbols as a big hit symbol of a special symbol. Several kinds of big hit symbols are classified into a first big hit symbol, a second big hit symbol, a third big hit symbol, and a fourth big hit symbol. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plural types of jackpot symbols. Specifically, the first big hit is a first big hit, the second big hit is a second big hit, the third big hit is a third big hit, and the fourth big hit is a fourth big hit. Hereinafter, the big hit game based on the first big hit "first big hit game", the big hit game based on the second big hit "second big hit game", the big hit game based on the third big hit "third big hit game", the fourth big hit Big hit game based on is called "the fourth big hit game".

  In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the big hit game, a round game in which the first big winning opening 29 is opened is performed after the end of the opening effect. The round game is played with the predetermined upper limit number as the upper limit. In one round game, the first big winning opening 29 is a first open game end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or a second open game end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. It will be open for a while until In round games, round effects are performed. Then, in the big hit game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending effect.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the number of round games (shown as “the number of rounds” in FIG. 3) is determined for each jackpot. Specifically, “16 times” for the first big hit, “12 times” for the second big hit and the fourth big hit, and “6 times” for the third big hit are defined as the number of round games, respectively.

  For each jackpot, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is determined. Specifically, in the first jackpot, it is defined that the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is in a special advantageous state. In the second big hit and the third big hit, it is determined that the gaming state after the big hit game is to be a specific high certainty state. In the fourth big hit, it is defined that the gaming state after the end of the big hit game will be a specific low certainty state. As described above, it is defined that the first big hit to the third big hit is controlled to the second probability state after the big hit game is over, while the fourth big hit is in the first probability state after the big hit game is over It is defined to be controlled. In the present embodiment, when being controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game, it is controlled to the second probability state until the next big hit game is generated (until the next big hit). That is, in the present embodiment, when being controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game, the second probability state is controlled with an upper limit until the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the big hit and the big hit game is triggered Be done.

  In the first to fourth big hit, it is defined that after the end of the big hit game, control to the second entering state is set. In this embodiment, when being controlled to the second entering state after the end of the big hit game, it is controlled to the second entering state until the ending condition of the second entering state is satisfied. And, when the ending condition of the second entering state is satisfied while being controlled to the second entering state, the second entering state is ended. Therefore, when the termination condition of the second entering state is satisfied in the special advantageous state, the special advantageous state is ended. That is, the termination condition of the second entering state in the present embodiment corresponds to the termination condition of the special advantageous state. When the termination condition of the second entering state is satisfied in the specific low probability state, the specific low probability state ends. That is, the termination condition of the second entering state in the present embodiment corresponds to the termination condition of the specific low probability state. Similarly, when the termination condition of the second entering state is satisfied in the specific high probability state, the specific high probability state ends. That is, the termination condition of the second entering state in the present embodiment corresponds to the termination condition of the specific high probability state. And there exist a 1st completion | finish condition, a 2nd completion | finish condition, and a 3rd completion | finish condition in the completion | finish conditions of a 2nd ball-loading state.

The first end condition is an end condition that is satisfied with the occurrence of the big hit game.
The second end condition is an end condition that is satisfied when a specific number of symbol variation games are executed after the end of the big hit game. In the present embodiment, the specific number of times may be different depending on at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific number of times is set in accordance with at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit. The second end condition corresponds to an end condition that is satisfied when the number of times the symbol variation game has been executed has reached a specific number.

  The third end condition is an end condition that is satisfied when the number of times that the main CPU 40a has selected results of a lottery among a plurality of types of results excluding a big hit has reached a predetermined number of times. In the present embodiment, among the results of the lottery by the main CPU 40a, there are a plurality of types of results except for the big hit, out-of-plane and small hit. The “specific result” in the present embodiment is “off” out of “off” and “small hit”. In the present embodiment, the predetermined number of times may be different depending on at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit. That is, in the present embodiment, the predetermined number of times is set in accordance with at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit. In the present embodiment, the third end condition is an end condition that is satisfied when the number of times that a part of the plurality of results excluding the big hit among the results of the lottery by the lottery means has reached a predetermined number of times It corresponds to The third termination condition in the present embodiment corresponds to a special termination condition.

  The first termination condition is defined as the termination condition of the second entering state, regardless of the gaming state (when it is shown in FIG. 3 as “the gaming state at the big hit” in FIG. 3) at the first big hit. ing. In the second big hit, regardless of the gaming state when it became a big hit, as the end condition of the second ball entry state, the first end condition and is established triggered by the fact that the number of times it has been out of five reached five times And a third end condition to be determined. In the third big hit, the termination condition of the second entering state is different according to the gaming state when the big hit. Specifically, in the third big hit, the first termination condition as the termination condition of the second entering state when the gaming state at the time of the big hit is any one of the normal low probability state and the normal high probability state The third end condition is established which is satisfied when the number of times of disconnection has reached 15 times. In addition, the third big hit, as a termination condition of the second entering state when the gaming state when it became a big hit is any of a special advantageous state, a specific low certainty state and a specific high certainty state, the first A termination condition and a third termination condition, which is satisfied when the number of times of disconnection has reached 10 times, are defined. The fourth jackpot, regardless of the game state when it became a jackpot, as the termination condition of the second entry state, the first termination condition and the fact that the special game is executed 100 times is triggered by the first 2 End conditions are defined.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit are different, the predetermined number of times may be different. That is, in the present embodiment, the predetermined number of times is set in accordance with at least one of the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the type of the big hit.

  In the first big hit to the fourth big hit, it is defined that after the end of the big hit game, control is made to the second variation time state. In the present embodiment, when the second variation time state is controlled, and the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied when the second entering state is controlled, the second entering state The state is ended and controlled to the first ball entering state, and the second fluctuation time state is ended and controlled to the first fluctuation time state. However, in the present embodiment, when the second variation time state is controlled, and the third end condition is satisfied when the second entering state is controlled, the second entering state is ended. While being controlled to the first entering state, the second fluctuation time state continues to be controlled to the second fluctuation time state without ending.

Next, a small hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of small hit symbols as a small hit symbol of a special symbol. Several kinds of small hit symbols are classified into a first small hit symbol and a second small hit symbol. A plurality of types of small hit symbols are defined respectively for the types of small hits. Specifically, the first small hit is determined for the first small hit symbol, and the second small hit is determined for the second small hit symbol.

  In the small hit game, the second large winning opening 31 is opened, and entry of the gaming ball into the second large winning opening 31 is permitted. In the small hit game, the second large winning opening 31 is opened in a predetermined opening mode determined for each type of small hit. In the small hit game, the second large winning opening 31 is satisfied the first open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or the second open game end condition that a predetermined upper limit time passes In the meantime, it is opened in a predetermined opening manner.

  In the first small hit, an opening mode is set in which the second large winning opening 31 is opened for 1.8 seconds. Also, for the second small hit, the second large winning opening 31 is opened for 0.6 seconds and then closed for 0.5 seconds, and then the second large winning opening 31 is opened for 1.2 seconds. ing. In the small hit game in the present embodiment, the second big winning opening 31 is opened at least once only for a time when it is easy to enter the gaming ball into the second big winning opening 31.

  In the display effect that can be performed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, a symbol for effect (hereinafter referred to as a effect symbol) is variably displayed in a plurality of lines, and a effect symbol for which a combination of effect symbols is finally derived There is a fluctuation game (hereinafter, referred to as an effect game). As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect design variation game using the effect design. The effect pattern is a pattern to which a decoration such as a character or a pattern is applied, and is also referred to as a "decorative pattern" or a "decorative pattern". The effect game is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the symbol rows in the first, second and third rows in the vertical direction. The production symbols in the first row are the so-called first symbols, the rendering symbols in the second row are the so-called second symbols, and the rendering symbols in the third row are the so-called third symbols. In the following description, "first row" is indicated as "left row" and "first symbol" is indicated as "left symbol", and "second row" is indicated as "middle row" and "second symbol" is indicated. "Middle symbol" is shown, "third row" is shown as "right row" and "third symbol" is shown as "right symbol". In the present embodiment, in each column, in principle, effect symbols imitating the numerals [1] to [8] are variably displayed in a predetermined order. That is, in the effect pattern, the effect pattern imitating the odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5” and “7” and the even number “2”, “4”, “6” and “8” There are effect patterns that imitate each.

  The effect game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game while the special symbol variation game is being executed. Then, in the effect game, a combination of effect symbols (effect symbol combination) according to the special symbol derived in the special game is derived. When a big hit symbol is derived in the special game, a combination of big hit symbols is derived in the effect game. For example, the jackpot effect symbol combination is a symbol combination such as “444” or “777” in which the effect symbols in all the rows are the same. When a small hit symbol is derived in the special game, a combination of small hit symbols is derived in the effect game. For example, a small hit presentation design combination is a production design combination in which at least a part of the production design differs from that of the other lines. In the special game, when the out-of-round symbol is derived, in the effect game, a combination of out-of-effect pattern is derived. For example, the off-set effect pattern combination is a effect pattern combination in which at least a portion of the effect pattern differs from that of the other rows. In the effect game, the effect pattern is temporarily displayed before the finalized display. In the present specification, “temporary stop display” means a state indicating that it is different from the fixed stop display, such as “swaying state”, for example.

  In the effect game, the display mode of the effect symbol may be a reach mode (a reach is formed), and a reach effect may be performed. In the reach mode, a rendering pattern imitating the same number is temporarily displayed on a specific row (for example, the left row and the right row) among a plurality of rows, and a row different from the specific row (for example, the middle row) It is in the state where the production design of) is being fluctuated and displayed. The reach effect may include a plurality of types of reach effects which differ in the character to be appeared and the movement of the effect pattern. For example, reach effects include normal reach effect and super reach effect performed after the start of normal reach effect. Then, during the execution of the special game, when the super reach effect is executed, the big hit expectation may be made higher than when only the normal reach effect is executed. Reach production is performed during the execution of the special game.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be capable of executing a big hit advance presentation effect that suggests a big hit expectation. The jackpot announcement effect to be executed even when the state is controlled to the normally low certainty state includes a star lighting effect in which the star lamp 52 is turned on. In the normal low probability state, when the star lighting effect is performed during the execution of the special game, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the star lighting effect is performed during the execution of the special game. Among the jackpot announcement effects that are executed during the execution of the special game that becomes the big hit and the special game that becomes the drop out, the star lighting production among the big hit announcement effects performed is the big hit announcement effect that suggests the highest jackpot expectation. That is, in the present embodiment, the star lighting effect is performed when the jackpot expectation is high.

When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main substrate 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main RAM 40c. At this time, the main CPU 40a stores that the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the first special game in the main RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is established. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the first special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number according to a predetermined method. For example, the random number is a random number used for a big hit lottery, a random number used for determining a big hit symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, or the like.

  Further, after storing the random number information for the first special game in the main RAM 40c, the main CPU 40a plays the game ball in the second starting opening 27 based on whether or not the detection signal from the second starting sensor SE2 is input. Determines whether the ball has entered the ball (hereinafter referred to as the second input determination). If the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main CPU 40a performs a second input determination. Similarly, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main CPU 40a performs a second input determination. If the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) , 2nd hold judgment). If the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the second special hold number for update. The main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special holding number. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) capable of specifying the updated second special hold number in the output buffer. Further, when the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main RAM 40c, and performs special symbol input processing Finish. At this time, the main CPU 40a stores that the random number information for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the second special game in the main RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until an execution condition for the second special game is established. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the second special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend execution of the special game.

Next, the special symbol start process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
In the special symbol start process, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not it is not in a hit game (big hit game, small hit game), and is not in a waiting state for a big hit game. When it is in the hit game waiting state or the occurrence waiting state of the big hit game, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when it is not in the hit game and the occurrence of the big hit game is not waiting, the main CPU 40a performs the first determination during execution. In the first determination during execution, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not the first special game is under execution.

  Then, when it is determined that the first special game is being executed in the first execution determination, the main CPU 40a performs the second execution determination. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special game is not being executed in the first execution determination, the main CPU 40a performs the first hold determination. In the first hold determination, the main CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main RAM 40c is one or more. When it is determined in the first suspension determination that the first special suspension number is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a performs a second execution determination. On the other hand, when it is determined in the first hold determination that the first special hold number is one or more, the main CPU 40a performs the first special symbol start process according to the execution of the first special game. Incidentally, after performing the first special symbol processing, the main CPU 40a performs a second determination during execution.

  In the second execution determination, the main CPU 40a determines whether the second special game is being executed. Then, when it is determined that the second special game is being executed in the second execution determination, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second special game is not being executed in the second execution determination, the main CPU 40a performs the second hold determination. In the second hold determination, the main CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main RAM 40c is one or more. When it is determined in the second hold determination that the second special hold number is not one or more, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when it is determined in the second hold determination that the second special hold number is one or more, the main CPU 40a performs a second special symbol start process according to the execution of the second special game. Incidentally, after performing the second special symbol processing, the main CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the first special holding number stored in the main RAM 40c to update it. The main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special holding number is displayed. Further, the main CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a first hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game from the main RAM 40c. When the main CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40 b, the main CPU 40 a determines whether to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is to be won may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the jackpot determination value. In the second probability state, the main CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher than that in the first probability state. Further, the determination as to whether or not to win the big hit may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the big hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value. In the present embodiment, in the first special symbol start process, when a big hit is won, it is a "big hit", and when it is not a big hit, it is "off".

  And, when winning the big hit in the big hit lottery related to the first special game (big hit lottery in the first special symbol start process), the main CPU 40a determines the big hit symbol and the big hit fluctuation pattern to be derived in the first special game Do. That the jackpot symbol is determined by lottery corresponds to the kind of jackpot being drawn. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit is drawn.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery relating to the first special game is not won (in the case of losing), the main CPU 40a determines a losing symbol to be derived in the first special game and a losing variation pattern. For example, when not winning the big hit in the big hit lottery pertaining to the first special game, the main CPU 40a performs the reach lottery, determines the reach variation variation pattern when winning the relevant reach lottery, does not win the reach lottery In the case where it is determined that there is no shift reach fluctuation pattern may be determined. The main CPU 40a may determine the special symbol or the variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. After that, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the determined special symbol and control information (hereinafter referred to as a fluctuation pattern designation command) capable of specifying a fluctuation pattern. The first special symbol start process is ended.

  In the second entering state, the main CPU 40a determines a variation pattern having a short variation time (or it is easy to determine a variation pattern having a short variation time) as compared to the first entering state ). As a result, in the second entering state, the number of special games executed per unit time tends to be greater than in the first entering state. For example, a variation pattern selection table in which selection rates of a plurality of types of variation patterns are determined may be stored in the main ROM 40b, and the main CPU 40a may be configured to determine variation patterns by referring to the variation pattern selection table. Even if the variation pattern selection table referred to in the first entering state and the variation pattern selection table referred to in the second entering state are stored in the main ROM 40b as the variation pattern selection table. Good. For example, in the variation pattern selection table referred to in the second entering state, a variation pattern in which a short variation time is determined as compared to the variation pattern selection table referred to in the first entering state You may set the decision rate of

  In the second special symbol start process, the main CPU 40a subtracts one from the second special hold number stored in the main RAM 40c to update it. The main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special holding number is displayed. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a second hold number command that can specify the updated second special hold number. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main RAM 40c. When the main CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40 b, the main CPU 40 a determines whether to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot. When a big hit is won in a big hit lottery (a big hit lottery in the second special symbol start process) according to the second special game, the main CPU 40a determines a big hit symbol derived in the second special game and a big hit fluctuation pattern. In the second entering state, the main CPU 40a determines a variation pattern having a short variation time (or easily determines a variation pattern having a short variation time) as compared to the first entering state. Thereafter, the main CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 40a does not win the big hit in the big hit lottery related to the second special game, the main CPU 40a makes a small hit based on the read random number information and the small hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. Determine whether to win. This processing corresponds to a small hit lottery (small hit determination) as to whether or not the small hit is made. In this embodiment, in the second special symbol start process, if you win the big hit will be "big hit", if you win the small hit without winning the big hit will be "small hit", big hit and small hit If neither of them is won, it will be "dropped". In the present embodiment, among the results of the lottery by the main CPU 40a, a plurality of types of results excluding the big hit include outs and small hits. Then, when a small hit is won in the small hit lottery, the main CPU 40a determines a small hit symbol to be derived in the second special game and a small hit variation pattern. On the other hand, when the small hit lottery in the second special game does not win the small hit (in the case of out), the main CPU 40a determines the out pattern to be derived in the second special game, and out-of-out variation pattern. In the second entering state, the main CPU 40a determines a variation pattern having a short variation time (or easily determines a variation pattern having a short variation time) as compared to the first entering state. Thereafter, the main CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process.

  Then, when the special symbol start process is ended, the main CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main CPU 40a counts the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. And main CPU40a will control information display panel 22 so that the special symbol decided in special symbol start processing may be derived, when the change time matched with the change pattern passes. Further, when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed, the main CPU 40a stores a game end command for deriving a symbol combination by the effect symbols in the output buffer. Further, when the main CPU 40a derives the jackpot symbol in the special game, the main CPU 40a makes the jackpot waiting state of the jackpot game, and outputs control information (hereinafter referred to as a generation waiting command) capable of specifying that the jackpot game waiting state Store in buffer The state of waiting for the occurrence of the jackpot game corresponds to a state in which the condition device is in operation and the continuous bonus device is not in operation. In addition, the occurrence waiting state of the jackpot game is a state in which the occurrence of the jackpot game is stagnant and it can be said that it corresponds to when stagnation control is performed with respect to the occurrence of the jackpot game.

Next, prize ball processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the first count sensor SE3 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the second count sensor SE4 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the first general sensor SE6 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the second general sensor SE7 is input, the main CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. In the present embodiment, the number of winning balls paid out when the gaming ball enters the general winning opening 34, 35 is more than the number of winning balls paid out when the gaming ball enters the starting opening 26, 27. There are many. On the other hand, the number of prize balls paid out when the game ball enters the general winning opening 34, 35 is smaller than the number of prize balls paid out when the game ball enters the large winning opening 29, 31.

  Further, when the main CPU 40a inputs a detection signal from the first count sensor SE3, control information (hereinafter referred to as a first special winning command) capable of specifying that the gaming ball has entered the first large winning opening 29. In the output buffer. Similarly, when the main CPU 40a inputs a detection signal from the second count sensor SE4, control information (hereinafter referred to as a second special prize command) that can specify that the gaming ball has entered the second large winning opening 31 ) In the output buffer.

Next, the big hit process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
When the main CPU 40a inputs a detection signal from the gate sensor SE5 while waiting for the occurrence of the jackpot game, the main CPU 40a executes the jackpot processing to cause the jackpot game. In the present embodiment, causing the jackpot game to occur triggered by the input of the detection signal from the gate sensor SE5 corresponds to operating the bonus product operating device.

  In the big hit process, the main CPU 40a identifies the type of big hit game based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the big hit special game, the main CPU 40a starts control to cause the specified big hit game. Therefore, the main CPU 40a causes a big hit game by executing the big hit process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot game is generated after winning the jackpot. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the jackpot is won (when the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a jackpot), the jackpot game is generated after the end of the special game (symbol variation game).

  In the big hit process, the main CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. After storing the opening command in the output buffer, the main CPU 40a counts the opening time. Further, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to open the first large winning opening 29 in accordance with the opening mode (opening pattern), and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to close the first big winning opening 29 when the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition is satisfied. , End the round game. The main CPU 40a repeatedly performs the processing for executing the round game until the round game of the upper limit number of times set for the big hit game is ended. The main CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer each time a round game is started. When the final round game is over, the main CPU 40a stores an ending command in the output buffer. When the main CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer, it counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 40a ends the big hit process.

Next, the small hit process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a performs small hit processing after the small hit special game ends. The main CPU 40a performs a small hit process regardless of whether a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5 after the small hit special game ends. In the small hit process, the main CPU 40a identifies a small hit game type based on the small hit pattern (ie, the small hit type) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the small hit special game ends, the main CPU 40a starts control to cause the specified small hit game. Therefore, the main CPU 40a causes a small hit game by executing the small hit process. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a small hit game is generated after winning the small hit. Note that causing a small hit game is equivalent to providing a small hit game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the player wins a small hit (when the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a small hit), a small hit game occurs after the special game (symbol variation game) is ended. When a small hit game is caused, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a small hit generation command) indicating that a small hit game is generated in the output buffer.

  When small hit game based on the first small hit is caused in the small hit processing, the main CPU 40a controls the third actuator A3 so that the second large winning opening 31 opens with an upper limit of 1.8 seconds. After causing the small hit game based on the first small hit game, the main CPU 40a is triggered by the establishment of the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition, the second large winning opening 31 The third actuator A3 is controlled to be closed, and the small hit process is ended. In addition, in the case of small hit game based on the second small hit in the small hit processing, the main CPU 40a, after the opening of the second large winning opening 31 up to the upper limit of 0.6 seconds 0.5 second winning second The third actuator A3 is controlled so that the mouth 31 is closed and then the second large winning opening 31 is opened with the upper limit of 1.2 seconds. After causing the small hit game based on the second small hit game, the main CPU 40a is triggered by the establishment of the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition, the second large winning opening 31 The third actuator A3 is controlled to be closed, and the small hit process is ended.

Next, the gaming state process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main RAM 40c stores information that can specify the gaming state. The information capable of specifying the gaming state includes information capable of specifying which one of the first probability state and the second probability state (hereinafter referred to as a probability state flag). The information capable of specifying the gaming state includes information (hereinafter referred to as a fluctuation time state flag) capable of specifying which one of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state. The information capable of specifying the gaming state includes information capable of specifying which one of the first entering state and the second entering state (hereinafter referred to as an entering state flag). In the present embodiment, information capable of specifying which one of the first probability state and the second probability state it is and information capable of specifying which one of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state is Although the present invention is divided into information capable of specifying which one of the first entering state and the second entering state, it is possible to use part or all of the information as common information. For example, from a single piece of information, which of the first probability state and the second probability state it is, which of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state it is, the first entering state and the second one It may be configured to be able to specify which of the ball entry states it is.

  When controlling to the first probability state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the first probability state in the probability state flag. When the value capable of specifying the first probability state is set in the probability state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the first probability state in the output buffer. When controlling to the second probability state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the second probability state in the probability state flag. When the value capable of specifying the second probability state is set in the probability state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the second probability state in the output buffer. In addition, when controlling to the first fluctuation time state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the first fluctuation time state in the fluctuation time state flag. When the value capable of specifying the first fluctuation time state is set in the fluctuation time state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the first fluctuation time state in the output buffer. When controlling to the second fluctuation time state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state in the fluctuation time state flag. When the value capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state is set in the fluctuation time state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state in the output buffer. When controlling to the first entering state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the first entering state in the entry state flag. When the value capable of specifying the first ball entering state is set in the ball entering state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the first ball entering state in the output buffer. When controlling to the second entering state, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the second entering state in the entry state flag. When the value capable of specifying the second entering state is set in the entering state flag, the main CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the second entering state in the output buffer.

  In the present embodiment, the value as the probability state flag is set, and the main CPU 40a controls the probability state including the first probability state and the second probability state, whereby the function as the probability state control means is realized. Further, in the present embodiment, the value as the fluctuation time state flag is set, and the main CPU 40a controls the fluctuation time state including the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state to function as fluctuation time state control means.

Then, in the present embodiment, the values as the probability state flag, the fluctuation time state flag, the ball entry state flag, etc. are set, and the main CPU 40a controls various game states, whereby the function as the game state control means is realized. Ru. In addition, the specific control which concerns on the setting of the value to a probability state flag, a fluctuation time state flag, and a ball entering state flag is demonstrated later. Incidentally, when the main CPU 40a causes a big hit game, the probability state flag is a value that can specify control to the first probability state, and the change time state flag, a first input that can specify the first change time state. A value capable of specifying the ball state is set in the ball entry state flag.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main CPU 40a determines whether the gaming ball has passed (entered) the gate 33 based on whether a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 33, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the gaming ball passes the gate 33, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). If the normal holding number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. If the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of normal reservations stored in the main RAM 40c and updates the number. In this case, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated number of normal reservations. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal hold number command) capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer. Next, the main CPU 40a acquires the random number generated in the main substrate 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main RAM 40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information so as to be identifiable. Thereafter, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the normal game is established. The main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination if it is not in a normal hit game and not in a normal game, but determines negative if it is in a normal hit game or a normal game. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main CPU 40a determines whether the number of normal reservations stored in the main RAM 40c is one or more. If the normal holding number is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the number of normal reservations is one or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts one from the number of normal reservations stored in the main RAM 40c and updates the number. In this process, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal reservations is displayed. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a normal hold number command capable of specifying the updated normal hold number.

  Next, the main CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random game information for the normal game from the main RAM 40c. When the main CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a normal hit based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. This processing corresponds to a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not it is a normal hit. For example, in the case where control is made possible in the normal hit high probability state and the normal hit low probability state, the main CPU 40a has a high probability of winning in the normal hit in the normal hit high probability state as compared to the normal hit low probability state. It is good to carry out a regular hit lottery so that In the case of winning a regular hit, the main CPU 40a determines a regular hit symbol derived in the regular game and a variation time of the regular game. Thereafter, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. For example, when configured to be controllable to the normal shortening state and the non-normal shortening state, the main CPU 40a determines a short time as the fluctuation time of the normal game in the normal shortening state as compared to the non-normal shortening state (or It may be easy to determine a short time as the fluctuation time of the normal game). The main CPU 40a may be configured to determine the variation time of the normal game by determining the normal variation pattern in which the variation time of the normal game is determined. The normal variation pattern may be stored in the main ROM 40b.

  Then, the main CPU 40a executes the normal game by performing processing different from the normal symbol start processing. Specifically, the main CPU 40a causes the information display panel 22 to start the normal game and to derive the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start processing when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start processing has elapsed. Control. Further, the main CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information capable of specifying that the execution of the normal game is to be started in accordance with the start of the execution of the normal game.

Next, the normal hit process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
After the end of the normal game of the normal hit, the main CPU 40a performs a normal hit process. In the normal hit processing, the main CPU 40a starts control to cause the normal hit game depending on which of the first hit state and the second hit state. Therefore, the main CPU 40a generates a normal hit by performing the normal hit process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the normal hit game is generated after winning the normal hit. Note that causing a normal hit game is equivalent to granting a normal hit game. The main CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second starting opening 27 is opened in the opening mode when the second entering state is in the second entering state in the normal hitting process. In addition, when in the first entering state, the main CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 such that the second starting port 27 is opened in the opening mode when the first entering state is in place.

  In the present embodiment, the opening mode in the second entering state is the second starting opening 27 opened in one normal hit game compared to the opening mode in the first entering state. The number of times is large, and the total time for which the second start port 27 is opened is long. Therefore, when the second starting opening 27 is opened in the opening mode when the second entering state is opened, when the second starting opening 27 is opened in the opening mode when the first entering state is performed. In comparison, it is easy to make the game ball enter the second starting opening 27. That is, when in the second entering state, the degree of advantage for entering the gaming ball into the second starting opening 27 is higher than when in the first entering state.

Next, various processes performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described.
First, state processing performed by the secondary CPU 41a will be described.
The sub RAM 41c stores information that can specify the gaming state. The information that can specify the gaming state stored in the secondary RAM 41c includes information (hereinafter referred to as a secondary probability state flag) that can specify which of the first probability state and the second probability state it is. . The information capable of specifying the gaming state stored in the sub RAM 41c includes information capable of specifying which of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state (hereinafter referred to as a subsidiary fluctuation time state flag) ). The information capable of specifying the gaming state stored in the sub RAM 41c includes information capable of specifying which one of the first ball entering state and the second ball entering state is (hereinafter referred to as a subsidiary ball entering state flag ). In the present embodiment, information capable of specifying which one of the first probability state and the second probability state it is and information capable of specifying which one of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state is Although the present invention is divided into information capable of specifying which one of the first entering state and the second entering state, it is possible to use part or all of the information as common information. For example, from a single piece of information, which of the first probability state and the second probability state it is, which of the first fluctuation time state and the second fluctuation time state it is, the first entering state and the second one It may be configured to be able to specify which of the ball entry states it is.

  When control information capable of specifying the first probability state is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the first probability state in the subsidiary probability state flag. When the control information capable of specifying the second probability state is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the second probability state in the subsidiary probability state flag. When control information capable of specifying the first fluctuation time state is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the first fluctuation time state in the subsidiary fluctuation time state flag. When the control information capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state in the subsidiary fluctuation time state flag. Further, when the control information capable of specifying the first ball entering state is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the first ball entering state in the sub ball entering state flag. When control information capable of specifying the second entering state is input, the sub CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the second entering state in the sub-entry state flag.

  When the sub-CPU 41a receives the opening command, the sub-CPU 41a sets a hit state flag stored in the sub-RAM 41c to a value that can identify that a big hit is being played. When the sub CPU 41a inputs an ending command and then inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a sets a hit state flag stored in the sub RAM 41c to a value that can specify that a hit is not in progress. When the small CPU 41a inputs the small hit occurrence command, the secondary CPU 41a sets a value which can specify that a small hit game is in progress in the hit state flag stored in the secondary RAM 41c. When the sub CPU 41a inputs the variation pattern designation command after inputting the small hit occurrence command, the sub CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying that the player is not in a hit game. The sub CPU 41a refers to the hit state flag stored in the sub RAM 41c to determine whether it is in the big hit game, the small hit game, or not the hit game (not in the big hit game, the small hit game Can be identified). The secondary CPU 41a may set, in the hit state flag, a value capable of specifying that the state is a waiting state for the occurrence of a big hit game when the occurrence waiting command is input. In this case, the sub CPU 41a can specify whether or not the jackpot game is waiting for occurrence by referring to the hit state flag stored in the sub RAM 41c.

Next, the hit rendering process performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described.
The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the occurrence waiting effect is executed when the occurrence waiting command is input. The waiting for effect is executed with the effect contents for prompting the gate 33 to enter the game ball. The waiting for waiting effect is performed with the effect contents for prompting to hit the right. In this manner, the waiting for presentation effect is executed with the effect contents for promoting the occurrence of the big hit game.

  The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a big hit effect is performed during the big hit game. Specifically, when the sub-CPU 41a receives an opening command, it controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that an opening effect is performed. The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed when the round command is input. When the sub-CPU 41a receives the ending command, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed. Further, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the small hit effect is performed during the small hit game. The small hit effect in this embodiment is a content that keeps the small hit symbol by the effect symbol being displayed on the effect display device 25, and the display content of the effect display device 25 and the small hit game at the end of the small hit special game The display content of the effect display device 25 in the middle is the same. Therefore, even if the small hit effect is executed, it is difficult to identify from the display content of the effect display device 25 that the small hit game is generated.

  Next, the effect game process performed by the sub CPU 41a will be described. In the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 41a performs the effect game process, a function as effect symbol control means for executing the effect symbol variation game is realized.

  The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 such that an effect game or an effect accompanying the effect game is performed. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a performs control to execute the effect game when the first variation pattern designation command is input in the normal low probability state or the normal high probability state. When the sub CPU 41a is in any one of the normal low probability state and the normal high probability state, the secondary CPU 41a does not perform control to execute the effect game even if the second variation pattern designation command is input. On the other hand, when the secondary CPU 41a is in any one of the special advantageous state, the specific low certainty state and the specific high certainty state, when the second variation pattern designation command is input, the secondary CPU 41a performs control to execute the effect game. In the case of any of the special advantageous state, the specific low probability state, and the specific high probability state, the secondary CPU 41a does not perform control to execute the effect game even if the first variation pattern designation command is input. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 41a is in the special advantageous state corresponding to the second gaming state, the sub CPU 41a executes the effect game (the effect pattern change game) based on the second special game (the second symbol change game). be able to. Further, in the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 41a is in the normal low probability state corresponding to the first gaming state, the sub CPU 41a is to execute a rendering game (production symbol fluctuation game) based on the first special game (first symbol fluctuation game). Can.

  In performing control to execute the effect game, the sub CPU 41a determines a symbol combination based on the effect symbols to be finally derived in the effect game based on the change pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the special symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is the big hit symbol, the sub CPU 41a determines the combination of the big hit symbol. If the special symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is a small hit symbol, the sub CPU 41a determines a small hit symbol combination. If the special symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is a detached symbol, the sub CPU 41a determines a combination of the symbol and the offending symbol. When the reach condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 41a may determine a combination of out-of-the-box effect symbols including reach when performing reach effects in the effect game. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied when the fluctuation pattern for the reach effect is specified among the outlier fluctuation patterns.

  The sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to change and display the effect pattern when the change pattern designating command is input. That is, the sub CPU 41a starts the effect game. The variation pattern specification command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the effect game based on the variation pattern. The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that various effects are performed based on the change pattern which can be identified from the change pattern designation command. For example, in the normal low certainty state, the secondary CPU 41a performs a star execution lottery to determine whether to execute the star lighting effect. In the star execution lottery, the sub CPU 41a determines to execute the star lighting effect with a probability according to the designated fluctuation pattern. Then, when it is determined that the star lighting effect is to be performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the star lamp 52 so that the star lighting effect is performed.

  In addition, the sub-CPU 41a temporarily displays the symbol combination by the determined rendering symbol at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub CPU 41a derives the effect pattern combination, triggered by the input of the game end command. Note that the secondary CPU 41a may count a variation time that can be identified from the variation pattern, regardless of the game end command, and may derive a rendering symbol combination triggered by the passage of the variation time. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

Here, based on FIG. 5, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the change of the ball with respect to the game time in each gaming state will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10, if the game ball is made to enter the second starting opening 27, even if it does not become a big hit, it will be a small hit with a high probability. Therefore, since it is possible to enter the game ball into the gate 33 and to enter the game ball into the second starting opening 27 if the player strikes right, a small hit lottery is generated and a prize ball is won. You have a chance to However, since the variation time of the second special game in the first variation time state is significantly longer than the variation time of the second special game in the second variation time state, the small hit game is actually The time it takes to be activated and the chance to win the prize ball also becomes significantly longer. In the present embodiment, after the game ball is entered into the second starting opening 27 and the execution of the second special game is started, after about 10 minutes have elapsed, the second large winning opening 31 is finally reached. Will be released.

  When the player strikes right when in the first variation time state, the number of gaming balls consumed per unit predetermined time (the number of game balls to be launched) is the number of gaming balls obtainable per unit predetermined time. Exceed. Furthermore, when the player strikes the right, since the gaming ball does not enter the first starting opening 26, the number of special games executed per unit predetermined time is significantly reduced. For this reason, in the first variation time state, it is preferable to strike left. On the other hand, when in the second fluctuation time state, the fluctuation time of the second special game is shorter than in the first fluctuation time state. As a result, when in the second fluctuation time state, the number of times of small hits per unit time tends to be greater than in the first fluctuation time state. For this reason, when in the second variation time state, it is preferable to strike right.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second starting port 27 is provided on the upstream side of the second large winning opening 31 in the flow-down passage 39. And in this embodiment, when it is in the 2nd entering state, most of game balls entered from the entrance 39a enter the 2nd starting opening 27, and even if a small hit game is caused, the second It is difficult for the game ball to enter the big winning opening 31. In particular, even if the second start port 27 is closed, the flow-down speed of the gaming ball flowing down the flow-down passage 39 is reduced by the first projection 38a, so that the second start port 27 is closed. Even with the gaming ball having entered the entrance 39a, the possibility of entering the second starting opening 27 is increased. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when in the first entering state, compared to when in the second entering state, enter the second starting opening 27 among the gaming balls entered from the entrance 39a. It is easy to increase the number of game balls entering the second big winning opening 31 without. In particular, even if the second big winning opening 31 is closed, the falling speed of the gaming balls flowing down the falling passage 39 is reduced by the second projection 38 b, so the ball does not enter the second starting opening 27. The possibility of the game ball entering the second big winning opening 31 increases.

  And, as shown in FIG. 5, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10, when being controlled to a special advantageous state (second probability state, second fluctuation time state, first ball entering state), small per unit time By increasing the number of hits, the number of game balls that can be acquired per unit predetermined time becomes larger than the number of game balls consumed per unit predetermined time. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when being controlled to a special advantageous state, the game ball (ball) possessed by the occurrence of the small hit game even if the big hit game is not generated if the player strikes right It is possible to increase the That is, the special advantageous state can be said to be advantageous over the specific high certainty state. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when being controlled to at least the first ball entering state and the second fluctuation time state, it is controlled to at least the second ball entering state and the second fluctuation time state Compared to when there is a high degree of advantage when a small hit game is generated. In this embodiment, the number of obtainable game balls is larger than the number of game balls emitted per unit predetermined time when controlled to at least the first ball entering state and the second fluctuation time state It can be said that the degree of advantage when the hit game is generated is high.

  In pachinko gaming machine 10, normally low probability state (first probability state, first variation time state, first ball entry state) or normal high probability state (second probability state, first variation time state, first ball entry state If it is controlled to be), it is preferable to strike left because it is preferable to strike left. However, in the case of being controlled to the normal low certainty state or the normal high certainty state, even if the player strikes left, the holding ball can not be increased, and the holding ball decreases as the game continues.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a specific low probability state (first probability state, second variation time state, second ball entry state) or a specific high probability state (second probability state, second variation time state, second entry) In the case of being controlled to the ball state), it is preferable to hit right because it is preferable to hit right. However, when controlled to the specific low certainty state or the specific high certainty state, even if the player strikes right, the holding balls can not be increased, and the holding balls decrease as the game continues. However, when it is controlled to the specific low certainty state or the specific high certainty state, it is possible to strike the game ball into the second starting opening 27 easily by right-handling, so the normal low certainty state or the normal high Compared to the case of being controlled to the definite state, the decrease in holding balls when continuing the game is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when it is controlled to the special advantageous state (the second probability state, the second fluctuation time state, the first entering ball state), since it is preferable to hit right, it is assumed to hit right. And, when being controlled to the special advantageous state, by hitting right, there is a chance that a small hit game is produced per unit predetermined time and the game ball can enter the second big winning opening 31 As the number increases, it is possible to increase the number of balls, and the more balls continue as the game continues. When being controlled to the special advantageous state, it can also be expected to increase the period controlled to the special advantageous state while expecting to be a big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the star lighting effect in which the star lamp 52 is lit is executed when the jackpot expectation is high. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a small hit game is generated and the second large winning opening 31 is opened and the gaming ball enters the second large winning opening 31, a star lighting effect is executed. In particular, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when being controlled to a special advantageous state, a small hit becomes a small hit and a small hit game is generated, and when the game ball enters the second big winning opening 31, star lighting effect is executed Be done. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the big hit game is generated and the first large winning opening 29 is opened and the gaming ball enters the first large winning opening 29, the star lighting effect is not executed. . That is, in the present embodiment, the star lighting effect is executed when the game ball enters the second large winning opening 31 corresponding to the second special winning opening when the small hit game is generated. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the star lighting effect is not executed when the gaming ball enters the first large winning opening 29 corresponding to the first special winning opening when a big hit game is being generated. The star lighting effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a predetermined effect.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, there are cases where a movable body effect in which the movable body 50 operates is executed. When the movable body effect is executed, after the movable body 50 operates from the point Ja to the point Jb, the movable body 50 operates from the point Jb to the point Ja. The movable body effect is executed when the second special game in the case of a small hit is continuously executed (shown as "when the second special game of small hits is continuous" in FIG. 6). Specifically, when the movable object effect is controlled to a special advantageous state (second probability state, second fluctuation time state, first ball entering state), the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a is a small hit The case is executed when the second special game is continuously executed. That is, in the present embodiment, the movable object effect is executed when the second symbol variation game is continuously executed when the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes a small hit while being controlled to the special advantageous state. Be done. The movable body effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a special effect.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when it is controlled to the specific low probability state after the end of the big hit game, an execution frequency notification effect is executed. In the execution number notification effect, the number of times the special game has been executed since being controlled to the second entering state, and the remaining number of times the special game has been executed since being controlled to the second entering state reaches a specific number At least one of the In this embodiment, since the execution frequency notification effect is executed only when being controlled to the specific low probability state, in the execution frequency notification effect, the number of execution times of the special game after being controlled to the specific low probability state, Also, it can be said that at least one of the remaining number of times until the number of executions of the special game after being controlled to the specific low certainty state reaches the specific number is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the notification of the number of times of execution is executed, the image KG of the number of times of execution is displayed on the effect display device 25. The number-of-executions image KG includes a specific number part KGa in which a number (number information) capable of specifying a specific number is displayed, and an execution number part KGb in which a number (number information) capable of specifying the number of executions of a special game is displayed. And is comprised. The number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the second entering state can be specified from the numbers displayed in the number-of-executions section KGb. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the number displayed in the execution frequency part KGb is "87", the number of times the special game has been executed since being controlled to the second entering state after the big hit game is over It can be identified that it is 87 times. That is, in the execution frequency notification effect executed by displaying the execution frequency image KG including the execution frequency part KGb, it can be said that the execution frequency of the special game after being controlled to the second entering state is notified. From the numbers displayed in the specific number part KGa and the execution number part KGb, it is possible to specify the remaining number of times until the number of executions of the special game reaches the specific number after being controlled to the second entering state. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, if the number displayed in the specific number unit KGa is "100" and the number displayed in the execution number unit KGb is "87", after the end of the big hit game It is possible to specify that the number of remaining times until the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the second entering state reaches the specific number is 13 times. That is, in the execution frequency notification effect executed by displaying the execution frequency image KG including the specific frequency unit KGa and the execution frequency unit KGb, the special game execution frequency after being controlled to the second entering state is the specific frequency It can be said that the remaining number of times to reach is reported.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of times the special game is executed after being controlled to the second entering state after the end of the big hit game reaches a specific number of times, the second ending condition is satisfied, and the second entering state is ended. The notification of the number of times of execution is executed in an effect mode different from the effect mode before the second end condition is established. In the present embodiment, when the second end condition is satisfied, the effect display image 25 is displayed on the effect display device 25 based on a color different from that before the establishment of the second end condition.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when it is controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game, the specific end frequency notification effect is executed. In the special completion frequency notification effect, the number of times the control was turned off after being controlled to the second entering state, and the remaining number of times until the number of times turned off since being controlled to the second entering state reached a predetermined number of times At least one is reported. In the present embodiment, since the specific end number notification effect is executed only when being controlled to the specific high probability state, in the specific end number notification effect, it has been deviated from being controlled to the specific high probability state At least one of the number of times and the remaining number of times until the number of times the control has been controlled to the specific high certainty state has reached a predetermined number of times will be notified.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, in the present embodiment, when the notification effect of the specific end number is executed, the effect display number image TG is displayed on the effect display device 25. The specific end number image TG is a predetermined number portion TGa where a number (numerical information) capable of specifying a predetermined number of times is displayed, and a specific result frequency portion where a numerical number (numerical information) capable of identifying the number of occurrences of outliers is displayed And T.sub.Gb. From the numbers displayed in the specific result number part TGb, it is possible to specify the number of times of being out of control after being controlled to the specific high certainty state (the number of times of the specific result). For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the number displayed in the specific result number part TGb is "10", the number of times of being out of control after being controlled to the specific high certainty state after the big hit game is 10 is It can be identified that it is time. That is, in the specific end frequency notification effect executed by displaying the specific end frequency image TG including the specific result frequency portion TGb, the number of times the status has been lost since being controlled to the specific high certainty state (in the lottery of lottery It can be said that the number of times the result is a specified result is reported. From the numbers displayed on the predetermined number part TGa and the specific result number part TGb, it is possible to specify the remaining number of times until the number of times of being out of control after reaching the specific high certainty state reaches the predetermined number. For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the number displayed on the predetermined number part TGa is "12" and the number displayed on the specific result part TGb is "10", the big hit game is over It is possible to specify that the number of remaining times until the number of times of becoming out of control reaches the predetermined number of times after being controlled to the second entering state is two. That is, in the specific end frequency notification effect executed by displaying the specific end frequency image TG including the predetermined frequency portion TGa and the specific result frequency portion TGb, the number of times the control has been deviated since being controlled to the specific high probability state is predetermined It can be said that the remaining number of times until reaching the number is notified. As described above, in the specific end frequency notification effect corresponding to the notification effect in the present embodiment, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specific frequency after being controlled to the specific high probability state and the specific high probability state control It can be seen that at least one of the remaining number of times until the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specific result reaches a predetermined number since then being notified.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of times the control is switched to the specific high certainty state after the big hit game is not reached reaches the predetermined number of times and the third end condition is satisfied and the second entering state is ended, The notification operation of specific number of times of specific end is executed in an effect mode different from the effect mode before the third end condition is established. In the present embodiment, when the third end condition is satisfied, the effect display device 25 displays a specific end number image TG having a color different from that before the establishment of the third end condition.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when being controlled to a specific high certainty state, the effect display device 25 includes an ally image Ca1 imitating a friendly soldier and an enemy image Ca2 imitating an enemy soldier. Is displayed. The effect display device 25 displays a number of enemy images Ca2 according to the remaining number of times until the number of times the control is switched to the specific high certainty state after the big hit game is over until the number of times of losing has reached a predetermined number. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the number of remaining times until the predetermined number of times after being controlled to a specific high certainty state after the big hit game is reached is two, the effect display device 25 Two enemy images Ca2 are displayed on.

  And when it is controlled to the specific high certainty state, and it becomes a big hit, in the effect display device 25, the effect of the contents which the friendly soldier gets angry is executed. For example, in the case of being controlled to the specific high certainty state, and only when the second special game is a big hit, the effect of the content that the friendly team gets angry may be executed. In addition, in the case of being controlled to a specific high certainty state, if it becomes a loss, the effect display unit 25 executes an effect of the content that the friendly and enemy soldiers fight, and then the friendly soldier is an enemy. The effect of defeating soldiers is executed. Then, when the third end condition is satisfied in the case of the departure, in the effect display device 25, an effect notifying that the enemy soldiers have been annihilated is executed, and an indication that it is controlled to a special advantageous state The presentation is performed. For example, the effect display device 25 may be an effect of displaying the character “small hit RUSH rush” on the effect display device 25, or the effect display device 25. It may be an effect that a character (character information) of "special advantage state start" is displayed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when being controlled to the special advantageous state, neither the number-of-execution notification effect nor the specific-end number notification effect is performed. When being controlled to the special advantageous state, it is controlled to any one of the first mode and the second mode, and various effects are performed according to the mode during stay (in control). The background image displayed on the effect display device 25 differs between the first mode and the second mode. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to specify which one of the first mode and the second mode is staying from the background image displayed on the effect display device 25.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the mode can be switched by operating the effect button BT when being controlled to the special advantageous state. Specifically, when the effect button BT is operated once in the first mode, switching to the second mode is triggered by the start of execution of the second special game. Similarly, when the effect button BT is operated once in the second mode, the mode is switched to the first mode when execution of the second special game is started. For example, when the effect button BT is operated once when the second special game is being executed and the first mode is in effect, when the execution of the next second special game is started, from the first mode to the second mode Switch to mode. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to switch the mode in the special advantageous state by the operation of the effect button BT.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the small hit occurs in the first mode, the small hit presentation symbol combination derived in the effect game and the small hit occur in the second mode. The effect pattern combination of the small hit that is derived in the effect game is different.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (c), when a small hit occurs in the first mode, in the effect game, the middle symbol is a special effect symbol, and the left symbol and the right symbol imitate different numbers. An effect pattern combination (hereinafter referred to as a first effect pattern combination) which is an effect pattern is derived. The special effect design is an effect design with a star motif, and has a design with a star motif. Specifically, the special effect pattern is an effect pattern on which a star is drawn. The special effect pattern is a different effect pattern from the effect pattern imitating the numbers. As described above, in the effect game in the special advantageous state and the small hit in the present embodiment, the special effect design is derived (stopped display).

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special effect design may be derived (stopped display) in the effect game when being controlled in the special advantageous state, but in the effect game when not being controlled in the special advantageous state It is not derived. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if it is a small hit if it is not controlled to the special advantageous state (if it is controlled to the gaming state other than the special advantageous state), the first effect symbol combination is a production game Are not derived.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first effect symbol combination is not derived in the effect game in the special advantageous state and the big hit. That is, in the present embodiment, in the effect game in the special advantageous state and the big hit, the special effect design is not derived. The first effect symbol combination is not derived in the effect game when it is a big hit, unlike the effect symbol combination of a big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, the first effect symbol combination is not derived in the effect game in the special advantageous state or in the off state. That is, in this embodiment, the special effect pattern is not derived in the effect game when it is in the special advantageous state and is off. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the effect game when it is a special advantage state corresponding to the second game state or not, it is not derived in the effect game in the normal low probability state corresponding to the first game state The special effect design is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (d), when a small hit occurs in the second mode, in the effect game, the left symbol, the middle symbol and the right symbol all represent odd numbers, and at least An effect pattern combination (hereinafter referred to as a second effect pattern combination) which is an effect pattern which imitates a number different from that of the other lines is derived. In the second effect symbol combination, at least the left symbol and the right symbol are effect symbols imitating different numbers.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the second effect symbol combination is derived in the effect game even if it is a small hit if it is not controlled to the special advantageous state (if it is controlled to the gaming state other than the special advantageous state). It will not be done. The second effect symbol combination is not derived in the effect game when it is a big hit, unlike the effect symbol combination of a big hit. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the effect game in which the special advantage state corresponding to the second gaming state is the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a small hit, it is a special advantageous state and a big hit. A second effect symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined effect symbol combination different from the effect symbol combination stopped and displayed in the effect game is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second effect symbol combination may be derived in the effect game when it is out of place when it is controlled to the gaming state other than the special advantageous state. For example, in the effect game in the normal low probability state and in the off state, a part of the effect symbol combinations are derived (stopped display) out of a plurality of types of effect symbol combinations including the second effect symbol combination. That is, in this embodiment, in the effect game in the normal low probability state corresponding to the first gaming state and the result of the lottery by the lottery means being out, the second effect symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined effect symbol combination Some of the effect symbol combinations of the plurality of effect symbol combinations including the stop symbol are displayed.

  Here, along with the specific control related to the gaming state in the present embodiment (specific control related to the setting of the value to the probability state flag, the variation time state flag and the ball entering state flag), it relates to the execution of various effects Control will be described.

First, control performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
After the end of the big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the variation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag. After the big hit game is over, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the fluctuation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag based on at least one of the type of the big hit and the gaming state when the big hit occurs.

  Specifically, after the end of the first jackpot game, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the variation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag so that the value can be specified to control to the special advantageous state. Do. Also, after the end of the second big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the fluctuation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag so that the value can be specified to control to the specific high certainty state. . Further, the main CPU 40a sets "5" in the information (hereinafter, referred to as predetermined number information) which can specify the predetermined number stored in the main RAM 40c. When the main CPU 40a sets a value to the predetermined number of times information, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a predetermined number of times setting command) capable of specifying the value set to the predetermined number of times information in the output buffer.

  After the end of the third big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the fluctuation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag so that the value can be specified to control to the specific high certainty state. Furthermore, after the end of the second big hit game, when the gaming state when it becomes a big hit is either the normal low certainty state or the normal high certainty state, the main CPU 40a, "15" to the predetermined number of times information Set On the other hand, after the end of the second big hit game, when the gaming state when it is a big hit is any of the special advantageous state, the specific low certainty state and the specific high certainty state, the main CPU40a, the number of times information Set "10" to

  After the end of the fourth big hit game, the main CPU 40a sets values in the probability state flag, the variation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag so as to obtain a value that makes it possible to specify control to the specific low certainty state. Further, the main CPU 40a sets "100" in the information (hereinafter referred to as specific number information) which can specify the specific number stored in the main RAM 40c. When the main CPU 40a sets a value to the specific number of times information, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a specific number of times setting command) capable of specifying the value set to the specific number of times information in the output buffer.

  After the big hit game is over, the main CPU 40a sets “0” in the information (hereinafter referred to as the game execution frequency information) which can specify the number of special games executed after being controlled to the second entering state after the big hit game is over. Set and initialize. The game execution frequency information is stored in the main RAM 40c. When the probability state flag, the variation time state flag, and the ball entry state flag are set to values that can be specified to control to the specific high certainty state, the main CPU 40a is controlled to the specific high certainty state after the big hit game is over “0” is set in the identifiable information (hereinafter referred to as information on the number of times of failure) to initialize the number of times of failure. The number of times of disconnection is stored in the main RAM 40c. The information on the number of times of disconnection in the present embodiment corresponds to information that can specify the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means has become the identification result. Further, in the present embodiment, the number of times the control has been canceled since being controlled to the specific high certainty state corresponds to the number of times that the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state. Note that the initialization of the game execution frequency information and the initialization of the release frequency information may be performed, for example, after the end of the big hit game, or may be performed when the big hit game is generated.

  When being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the number-of-outs information and updates the number-of-times-of-out information when it becomes an outlier. For example, the main CPU 40a may update the number-of-releases information in any of the case where the first special game is released and the case where the second special game is released. In addition, the main CPU 40a updates the out-of-time information only when the second special game is out of the case where the first special game is out or the second special game is out. You may In addition, after the end of the off special game (for example, after the off symbol is derived in the special game), the out time information may be updated.

  When being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the main CPU 40a determines whether the value which can be specified from the number-of-outs information matches the value set in the predetermined number of times information after the special game of the loss is over. If the value that can be specified from the information on the number of times of occurrence is identical to the value specified in the information for a predetermined number of times, the main CPU 40a determines a value that can be specified to control to a special advantageous state Set the ball status flag. In the present embodiment, “when the value that can be identified from the number-of-outfalls information matches the value set to the predetermined number of times information” corresponds to the case where the third end condition is satisfied. If the value that can be identified from the number-of-outs information does not match the value set in the predetermined number of times information, the main CPU 40a does not update the values set in the probability state flag, the variation time state flag, and the entering state flag. The information on the number of times of disconnection in the present embodiment is updated when it becomes a disconnection. Therefore, the number of times counted in the number-of-times-of-outs information is the number of times only outliers out of the small hits and the outliers are counted.

  When being controlled to the second entering state, the main CPU 40a, when starting the execution of the special game, adds 1 to the game execution number information and updates the game execution number information. Then, when being controlled to the second entering state, after the end of the special game, the main CPU 40a determines whether the value that can be identified from the game execution frequency information matches the value set in the specific frequency information . When the value which can be identified from the game execution number information matches the value set in the specific number information, the main CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to the first entering state in the entering state flag . In the present embodiment, “when the value that can be identified from the game execution number information matches the value set to the specific number information” corresponds to the case where the second end condition is satisfied. Further, when the value that can be identified from the game execution number information does not match the value set in the specific number information, the main CPU 40a sets the values set in the probability state flag, the fluctuation time state flag, and the entering state flag. Do not update. The game execution frequency information in the present embodiment is updated when the special game is executed, and is updated regardless of whether the special game is a small hit or a break. Therefore, the number of times counted in the game execution number information is the number of times that both a small hit and a loss are targeted for counting.

  After the main CPU 40 a performs “determination whether the value that can be identified from the loss frequency information matches the value set in the predetermined frequency information”, the main CPU 40 a sets the value that can be identified from the loss frequency information and the predetermined frequency information If the values do not match, it is determined "whether the value that can be identified from the game execution number information matches the value set in the specific number information".

Next, control performed by the secondary CPU 41a will be described.
When the setting command for the predetermined number of times is input, the sub CPU 41a uses a value that can be specified from the setting command for the predetermined number of times as information that can specify the predetermined number of times stored in the sub RAM 41c Set Further, when the variation pattern designation command for designating the deviation variation pattern is input when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the secondary CPU 41a is information capable of specifying the number of times of deviation after being controlled to the specific high certainty state. One is added to (hereinafter referred to as sub-use loss frequency information) to update. As described above, among the big hit fluctuation pattern, the small hit fluctuation pattern, and the falling fluctuation pattern, only when the fluctuation pattern designation command is input to designate the deviation fluctuation pattern, the secondary deviation frequency information is updated. When the sub CPU 41a inputs control information capable of specifying the specific high certainty state, the sub CPU 41a sets “0” to the sub-translation number information and initializes the sub-translation number information. In this "when the control information capable of specifying the specific high probability state is input", the control information capable of specifying the second probability state, the control information capable of specifying the second fluctuation time state, and the second ball entering state are specified. This corresponds to the case where possible control information is input.

  When a specific number setting command is input, the secondary CPU 41a uses a value that can be specified from the specific number setting command as information that can specify the specific number stored in the secondary RAM 41c (hereinafter, referred to as auxiliary specific number information). Set In addition, when the fluctuation pattern specification command is input when being controlled to the second entering state, the secondary CPU 41a is information capable of specifying the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the second entering state (the following , 1) to the auxiliary game execution frequency information) and update. At this time, even if the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is any of the big hit variation pattern, the small hit variation pattern, and the out variation pattern, the subsidiary game execution frequency information is updated. The auxiliary game execution frequency information is stored in the auxiliary RAM 41 c. When the control information capable of specifying the first entering state is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets “0” to the secondary game execution frequency information and initializes the secondary game execution frequency information.

  In addition, when the secondary loss frequency information is updated, the secondary CPU 41a determines whether the identifiable value from the secondary loss frequency information matches the identifiable value from the secondary predetermined frequency information. When the subsidiary game execution number information is updated, the subsidiary CPU 41a determines whether the identifiable value from the subsidiary game execution number information matches the identifiable value from the subsidiary specific number information. The secondary CPU 41a performs "determination of whether the value which can be identified from the secondary use frequency information and the specific value from the secondary predetermined frequency information match" and then "specificable value from the secondary game execution frequency information". And “determine whether the value that can be identified from the sub-specific identification number information matches”.

  When the jackpot fluctuation pattern is designated in the case of being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect of the content that the friendly soldiers get angry is executed. . For example, when the second special game is configured to perform the production of the content to get angry only when the second special game is a big hit, the secondary CPU 41a is specified a big hit variation pattern by the second variation pattern specification command It is preferable to control the effect display device 25 so that the effect of content causing the friendly soldier to get angry is executed. The production of the content that the friendly soldiers get angry is executed during the special game based on the jackpot fluctuation pattern. In addition, in the case where the outlier fluctuation pattern is designated in the case of being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the secondary CPU 41a performs one side of the friendly party after the effect of the fighting between the friendly party and the enemy soldiers is executed. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the effect of defeating enemy soldiers is executed. Then, when the value which can be identified from the information on the number of side slips and the value that can be specified from the predetermined number of times on the side area match, the side CPU 41a is controlled to an effect and a special advantageous state to notify that the enemy soldiers are completely destroyed. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the effect of notifying that is performed.

  Further, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the specific end number of times image TG based on the sub predetermined frequency information and the sub loss information is displayed. For example, if the value that can be identified from the sub predetermined number of times information is “5” and the value that can be identified from the sub small hits number information is “3”, the sub CPU 41a determines that the number of the predetermined number of times TGa is The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to display the specified end number image TG having “5” and the number of the specified result number part TGb being “3”. In addition, when the secondary change-out frequency information is updated in response to the change-out variation pattern being designated, the secondary CPU 41a updates at a timing after the effect of defeating one enemy soldier by the contents is executed. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the specific end number image TG is displayed based on the subsequent auxiliary loss number information. In the present embodiment, as the notification effect control means that controls the execution of the notification effect by controlling the sub CPU 41a to display the specific end number of times image TG and execute the specific end number notification effect corresponding to the notification effect. Function is realized.

  Further, when being controlled to the specific low certainty state, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the execution frequency image KG is displayed based on the auxiliary specific frequency information and the auxiliary game frequency information. For example, when the value that can be identified from the sub-specific frequency information is "100" and the specific value from the sub-game execution frequency information is "87", the sub CPU 41a determines that the number of the specific frequency part KGa is The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to display the number-of-executions image KG having "100" and the number of executions part KGb being "87".

  When being controlled to the special advantageous state, the secondary CPU 41a updates information capable of specifying the mode during stay (hereinafter referred to as mode information), triggered by the input of the operation signal from the effect button BT. Mode information is stored in the sub RAM 41 c. When the operation signal from the effect button BT is input while being controlled to the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a can specify the second mode when the mode information capable of specifying the first mode is stored. The mode information is updated, and when the mode information capable of specifying the second mode is stored, the first mode is updated to the mode information capable of specifying. When the variation pattern designation command is input while being controlled to the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a displays a background image according to the mode that can be identified from the mode information when the variation pattern designation command is input. As such, the effect display device 25 is controlled. For example, when the background image according to the first mode is already displayed and the first mode can be specified from the mode information, the effect display device 25 displays the background image according to the first mode. Keep being done. On the other hand, when the background image according to the first mode is already displayed and the second mode can be specified from the mode information, the effect display device 25 replaces the background image according to the first mode. A background image corresponding to the second mode is displayed.

Here, control relating to the determination of the small winning design symbol combination and control relating to the determination of the off design symbol combination will be described.
When it is controlled to a gaming state other than the special advantageous state, the sub-CPU 41a is capable of specifying the out-of-pattern from the symbol command, out of a plurality of types of out-of-hand effect symbol combinations including the second effect symbol combination. Determine the presentation symbol combination. Here, “the combination of two or more types of out-of-the-round effect symbols including the second effect symbol combination” includes, for example, “123”, “113”, “343”, “426”, “153”, etc. It does not include the effect pattern combination. Among the effect symbol combinations mentioned here as examples, the effect symbol combination of the outing including reach is "343", and "113" and "153" correspond to the second effect symbol combination. In addition, when it is controlled to the game state other than the special advantageous state, when it is possible to specify the small hitting design from the symbol command, the sub CPU41a, of the production design combination of the plural kinds of small hitting excluding the 2nd production design combination Decide on a combination of medium and small hits. Here, "the combination of a plurality of types of small hitting effect symbols except the second effect symbol combination" includes, for example, "123", "223", "112", etc., and the first effect symbol combination is not included. . Here, as described in the example, the “a plurality of types of small hitting effect pattern combinations excluding the second effect pattern combination” includes an effect pattern combination derived as an off effect pattern combination.

  In the case of being controlled to the special advantageous state, and in the first mode, when the secondary CPU 41a can specify the out-of-pattern from the symbol command, a plurality of types of off-set including the second effect-pattern combination From among the effect symbol combinations, determine the effect symbol combinations of the deviation. The first effect pattern combination is not included in the “effect pattern combination of a plurality of types including the second effect pattern combination”. In addition, in the case where the special advantageous state is controlled and the first mode is in effect, if the sub CPU 41a can identify the small hit symbol from the symbol command, the secondary CPU 41 a may select from among the first effect symbol combination. Determine the winning design combination of the hit. The "first production symbol combination" mentioned here includes "one star 3", "two stars 6", "four stars 1" (the special effect design is indicated as "star") and the like.

  In the case of being controlled to the special advantageous state and in the second mode, when the secondary CPU 41a can identify the out-of-pattern from the symbol command, a plurality of types of out-of-plane except the second effect-pattern combination From among the effect symbol combinations, determine the effect symbol combinations of the deviation. The first effect pattern combination is not included in the “effect pattern combination of a plurality of types except for the second effect pattern combination”. Moreover, in the case of being controlled to the special advantageous state and in the second mode, when the sub CPU 41a can specify the small hitting symbol from the symbol command, the secondary CPU 41a can select the small among the second effect symbol combination Determine the winning design combination of the hit. The “second effect symbol combination” mentioned here includes “113”, “315”, “735” and the like, and does not include the first effect symbol combination.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, at least a part of the effect symbol combination that is different from the effect symbol combination of the small hit is common, but it is not common with the effect symbol combination of the big hit. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, although it may not be possible to identify which of the small hit and the off from the effect symbol combination derived in the effect game, it is possible to determine from the effect symbol combination derived in the effect game. There is no case where it can not be identified whether it is a big hit.

Next, control relating to the execution of star lighting effect when being controlled to the special advantageous state and control relating to the execution of the movable object effect will be described.
When being controlled to the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a controls the star lamp 52 so that the star lighting effect is executed when the small hit game is occurring and the second special winning command is input. For example, when executing star lighting effect, the sub CPU 41a may control the star lamp 52 to turn off after the star lamp 52 is turned on for a predetermined lighting time. The star lighting effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a predetermined effect. And in this embodiment, the function as a predetermined presentation control means which controls execution of a predetermined presentation is realized because secondary CPU41a performs control which performs star lighting presentation.

  When being controlled to the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a executes the movable body effect when the previous second special game is a small hit and the small hit fluctuation pattern is designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. Control the presentation actuator EA. For example, when being controlled to the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a, when the previous second special game is a small hit, and a small hit variation pattern is designated, a combination pattern of small hits in the effect game The effect actuator EA may be controlled so that the movable object effect is executed at the timing when the stop display is temporarily stopped. It should be noted that the movable body effect may be configured to be executed during the execution of the small hit special game, or may be structured so that the movable body effect continues to be executed even during the subsequent occurrence of the small hit game. Good.

  Thus, in the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a executes the movable body effect when the previous second special game is a small hit and the current second special game is a small hit. The movable body effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a special effect. And in this embodiment, the function as special production control means which controls execution of a special production is realized by performing control which sub CPU41a performs movable body production.

Here, the game nature of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, after being controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the second big hit game, the specific high certainty state ends, when the number of times of losing has reached five times set as the predetermined number, special Controlled to an advantageous state. That is, after being controlled to a specific high certainty state after the end of the second big hit game, when the number of times of losing reaches 5 times, it is possible to increase the holding balls from the situation where the holding balls can not be increased Change to the situation. Therefore, when being controlled to a specific high certainty state after the end of the second big hit game, the game will be played in anticipation that the number of times before becoming a big hit will reach a predetermined number. After being controlled to the special advantageous state, the game is to be played in anticipation of being long controlled to the special advantageous state without being a big hit.

  When the game is controlled to either the low probability state or the high probability state, the third hit is triggered and the third big hit game is triggered, and after the third big hit game is controlled to the specific high probability state, it is lost. The specific high probability state ends and is controlled to the special advantageous state when the number of times of becoming reaches 15 times which is set as the predetermined number of times. On the other hand, when being controlled to any one of the special advantageous state, the specific low certainty state and the specific high certainty state, the third big hit game is generated as a big hit, and after the third big hit game is over, the specific high certainty state After being controlled, when the number of times of losing reaches 10 times which is set as the predetermined number of times, the specific high certainty state ends and the special advantageous state is controlled. For this reason, when the third big hit game is generated, when the big hit is any of the special advantageous state, the specific low certainty state and the specific high certainty state, the time when the big hit is usually low certainty The number of times before the big hit after the end of the third big hit game is likely to reach the predetermined number compared to when it is in any of the normal high certainty state before the big hit after the end of the third big hit game. After the end of the third big hit game, as well as after the end of the second big hit game, when being controlled to a specific high certainty state, the number of times before becoming a big hit has reached a predetermined number of times The game is expected to be performed, and after being controlled to the special advantageous state, the game is to be expected to be controlled to the special advantageous state for a long time without becoming a big hit. On the other hand, after the end of the third big hit game, by changing the number of times set as the predetermined number according to the gaming state when it became a big hit, according to the gaming state when it became a big hit, specific high The probability of being controlled to a special advantageous state can be made different by reaching a predetermined number of times before being a big hit when controlled to a definite state and becoming a big hit.

  Further, after the end of the second big hit game, five times are set as the predetermined number of times, but after the end of the third big hit game, fifteen times or ten times are set as the predetermined number of times. Thus, after the end of the second big hit game, compared to after the end of the third big hit game, the number of times it has become outliers is likely to reach a predetermined number of times, rather than being a big hit when controlled to a specific high certainty state There is a high expectation that the number of previous deviations reaches a predetermined number and is controlled to a special advantageous state. In this way, by making the number of times set as the predetermined number different after the end of the first big hit game and after the end of the second big hit game, depending on the type of the big hit, when the jackpot is controlled to a specific high probability state It is possible to make the degree of expectation of being controlled to a special advantageous state different by reaching a predetermined number of times before becoming a predetermined number of times.

  Incidentally, after the end of the first big hit game, it is controlled from the beginning to the special advantageous state without being controlled to the specific high certainty state. That is, it is possible to increase the holding ball during the occurrence of the first jackpot game, and even after the end of the first jackpot game, the situation in which the holding ball can be increased in the special advantageous state is continued . Therefore, after the end of the first big hit game, the game will be played in anticipation of being long controlled to the special advantageous state without becoming a big hit.

Next, based on FIG. 8, the change in the gaming state and the display content of the effect display device 25 will be described by taking after the end of the second big hit game as an example.
After the end of the second big hit game, it is controlled to a specific high certainty state. At this time, five times are set as the predetermined number of times. For example, in the case where the number of times of being out without becoming a big hit after the second big hit game ends at timing t11 is 2 times, the number of the predetermined number part TGa in the effect display device 25 is 5, and the identification result A specific end number image TG in which the number of the number part TGb is 2 is displayed, and notification effect of specific end number is performed. Furthermore, in the effect display device 25, three enemy images Ca2 are displayed in addition to the friend image Ca1.

  After that, when the number of times of losing at timing t12 reaches 5 times set as the predetermined number of times, the third termination condition is satisfied, the specific high certainty state is finished, and the special advantageous state is controlled. At this time, the effect display device 25 displays the specified end number image TG of the effect aspect different from that before the establishment of the third end condition, in which the numbers of the predetermined number part TGa and the specified result number part TGb are five, The specific end number notification effect is executed. Furthermore, in the effect display device 25, an effect of the content notifying that the enemy soldier has been annihilated is executed. Incidentally, when it is controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the second big hit game, it is controlled to the specific high certainty state continuously until the big hit or until the number of times of losing reaches the predetermined number. And, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the third end condition is satisfied when the number of times before the big hit becomes the predetermined number of times, and the specific high certainty state ends, It is controlled to a special advantageous state, and it changes to a situation where it is possible to increase holding balls without being a big hit.

Next, based on FIG. 9, the effect symbol combination derived in the special advantageous state and the star lighting effect and the movable body effect in the special advantageous state will be described.
In the special advantageous state and in the first mode, the first effect symbol combination is derived and the special effect symbol is derived at timing t21 when the second special game which is a small hit ends. Thereafter, when a small hit game is produced and the game ball enters the second large winning opening 31 at timing t22, star lighting effect is executed, and the star lamp 52 is turned on. Furthermore, when the game ball enters the second large winning opening 31 again at timing t23 during the occurrence of the small hit game, the star lighting effect is executed, and the star lamp 52 is turned on.

  In addition, after the small hitting game ends, when the 2nd special game which becomes the small hitting is executed, at the timing t24 where the special game which becomes the small hitting ends, the 1st production symbol combination is derived, the special effect design It is derived. Furthermore, since the second special game, which is a small hit, is continuously executed, at timing t24, the movable body effect is performed, and the movable body 50 operates. After that, when the second big winning opening 31 is opened in a small hit game generated thereafter and the gaming ball enters the second big winning opening 31 at timing t25, star lighting effect is executed, and the star lamp 52 is turned on.

  In addition, when the effect button BT is operated once at timing t26 during execution of the second special game, which is the small hit, the first to second modes are executed at timing t27 at which the next second special game is executed. Switch to mode. Then, in the special advantageous state and in the second mode, the second effect symbol combination is derived at timing t28 when the second special game which is a small hit ends. Thereafter, when a small hit game is generated and the game ball enters the second large winning opening 31 at timing t29, star lighting effect is executed, and the star lamp 52 is turned on.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the special advantageous state (the second gaming state), the variation time of the second special game (the second symbol variation game) in the case of a small hit compared to the normally low certainty state (the first gaming state) short. In other words, in the normal low probability state (the first probability state, the first variation time state, and the first ball entering state), the ratio to the special advantageous state (the second probability state, the second variation time state, and the first ball entering state) Then, the variation time of the second special game in the case of a small hit is long. Thus, when the low probability state is usually, since the fluctuation time of the second special game in the case of a small hit is longer than in the special advantageous state, a small hit game is generated to gain a profit. It can be difficult. On the other hand, in the special advantageous state, the chances of having a small hit game per unit time increase, and the chance of a small hit game being generated to gain a profit increases, as compared with the normally low certainty state. As described above, in the low probability state, a small hit game is realized to realize a game characteristic which is difficult to obtain a profit, and in the special advantageous state, a game in which a small hit game is easily generated to obtain a profit. Can be realized to improve the interest.

  Then, in the special advantageous state, when the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) is a small hit, in the effect game, the special effect design not displayed in the stop in the effect game in the normal low probability state is derived (stop display ). As described above, in a special advantageous state in which the chance to earn a profit is increased by the occurrence of the small hit game, the special effect pattern is stopped and displayed, and the small hit game is thus profited. The player can be notified that the opportunity has arrived. Therefore, in the special advantageous state in which the chance to earn a profit is increased by the occurrence of the small hit game, it is more effective to play the game that "the chance to obtain a profit by the occurrence of the small hit game is increased". Be entertained and improve the interest.

  (2) In the low probability state (first gaming state), small hit gaming is realized to realize game characteristics that are difficult to obtain a profit, and in the special advantageous state (second gaming state), a small hit gaming occurs As a result, it is possible to realize game characteristics that are easy to obtain profits, and to improve interest.

  Then, in the special advantageous state, when the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) is a small hit, in the effect game, the effect symbol combination displayed stopped in the effect game when the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a is a big hit A second effect symbol combination (a predetermined effect symbol combination) different from the second is derived (stopped display). Thus, in the special advantage state where the chance of earning profit is increased by the occurrence of the small hitting game, the second winning design combination is derived, thereby obtaining the profit by the occurrence of the small hitting game The player can be notified that the opportunity to do has arrived. Therefore, in the special advantageous state in which the chance to earn a profit is increased by the occurrence of the small hit game, it is more effective to play the game that "the chance to obtain a profit by the occurrence of the small hit game is increased". Be entertained and improve the interest.

  (3) The second effect symbol combination (predetermined effect symbol combination) is normally derived in the effect game when the low probability state (first advantageous state) and the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) is lost It may be (stopped). That is, the second effect symbol combination which can specify that a small hit game is generated in the special advantageous state (the second game state) is also a effect symbol combination which can specify that it is out in the low probability state. Thus, in the low probability state, the effect symbol combination derived when the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a is out is derived when the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a is a small hit in the special advantageous state. Ru. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest in each situation by the game nature in which the meaning of the second effect pattern combination is different between the normal low certainty state and the special advantageous state.

  (4) In the termination condition of the specific high certainty state (third gaming state), the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) is out (1 out of a plurality of types of results except for the big hit There is a termination condition that is satisfied when the number of times the result of specifying the part has reached a predetermined number. As a result, when controlled to the specific high certainty state, it is possible to create a game feature that focuses on whether the number of times of the specific result that is not a big hit has become a predetermined number. As described above, the game characteristic is simply created by focusing on the number of special games, which is different from the game characteristic of the special game. It is possible to improve the interest.

  (5) When the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) is a big hit, a big hit game is made, so if the big hit game is made, the player will make the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40 a a big hit It can be recognized. However, in the case where the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a is out (specific result), there is a possibility that it may be difficult to recognize that it is out and it may be a burden on the player to count the number of times out. . Therefore, among the number of times the control is switched to the specific high certainty state (the third gaming state) and the number of times the control has been controlled to the specific high certainty state until the number of times the control becomes the predetermined number of times At least one is notified by the specific end number notification effect as the notification effect. That is, the second probability state, the second variation time state, and the second entering state are controlled to the number of times the control is switched to the second probability state, the second variation time state, and the second entering state. At least one of the remaining number of times until the number of departures from the number of times reaching the predetermined number reaches the predetermined number is notified by the specific end number notification effect. Such a specific end number notification effect makes it easy for the player to enjoy the game characteristic “it is focused on whether the number of times the specific result which is not the big hit is reached reaches the predetermined number”, and it becomes easy to improve the interest.

  (6) Among the results of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means), the plural types of results excluding the big hit include outs and small hits. In such a gaming machine, the specific high certainty state (third gaming state) is ended when the number of times of disconnection has reached a predetermined number. As described above, by making "displacement" a specific result, it is possible to effectively improve the interest because it is novelty that raises the degree of attention to "displacement" that generally has a low degree of attention. In particular, in the case of a break, since the big winning opening 29, 31 is not opened, attention among the big hit, the small hit and the drop, particularly the "drop" that tends to be avoided by the player Can improve the interest more effectively.

  (7) When the result of the lottery by the main CPU 40a (lottery means) becomes a small hit in the special advantageous state (second gaming state) having game characteristics that are easy to obtain profits by the occurrence of the small hit game When the second special game (the second symbol variation game) is continuously executed, a movable body effect as a special effect is executed. For this reason, when the movable body effect is executed, it is possible to notify the player that a situation where it is easy to obtain a profit is continuously occurring, and a situation where it is easy to obtain a profit continuously occurs. It can effectively enhance the interest in

  (8) When a small hitting game is activated, a predetermined effect is produced when the gaming ball enters the second large winning opening 31 (second special winning opening) opened when the small hitting game is activated. The star lighting effect as is performed. In this manner, the star lighting effect is executed when a situation occurs in which a small hit game is generated and the gaming ball enters the second large winning opening 31 and a profit (winning ball) is actually obtained. In this way, it is possible to effectively enhance the interest for being able to earn a profit and to enjoy easy-to-earning game features by generating a small hit game.

  (9) Entering the game ball into the first large winning opening 29 (first special winning opening) to obtain a profit (winning ball) when the big hit game is activated is an event common to the player It is. Therefore, there is a risk that the player may feel annoyed if the game ball enters the first large winning opening 29 and the star lighting effect (predetermined effect) is executed while the big hit game is generated. is there. For this reason, when the game ball enters the first big winning opening 29 when the big hit game is generated, the player is made to feel annoyance by preventing the star lighting effect from being executed. It is possible to suppress such an event.

  (10) When in the normal low certainty state (the first gaming state), during the execution of the special game (the symbol variation game), the star lighting effect (predetermined effect) is executed as an effect with a high degree of expectation of the big hit. When such a star lighting effect enters the second large winning opening 31 (second special winning opening) when a small hit game is generated in the special advantageous state (second gaming state) The player can be surprised because it is executed. At the same time, a star lighting effect is executed by entering the gaming ball into the second large winning opening 31 when a small hitting game is generated, with a star lighting effect with few opportunities to be executed in the normal low probability state. Can improve the interest.

  (11) When controlled to the second fluctuation time state, compared to when controlled to the first fluctuation time state, the second special game (second symbol fluctuation game) in the case of a small hit The fluctuation time is short. In other words, when controlled to the first fluctuation time state, the fluctuation time of the second special game in the case of a small hit is longer than when controlled to the second fluctuation time state. As described above, since the variation time of the second special game is longer in the first variation time state than in the second variation time state, the small hit game is generated. It can be difficult to earn a profit. On the other hand, when in the second fluctuation time state, there are more opportunities for small hit games to be generated per unit time compared to when in the first fluctuation time state, and small hit games are generated. The opportunity to earn a profit increases. As described above, when the first variation time state is realized, small hit games are generated to realize game characteristics having a small chance of acquiring a profit, and when the second variation time state is realized the small hit game is generated. Can realize a game feature with many chances of earning profits.

  Furthermore, when being controlled to at least a first ball entering state and a second fluctuation time state, a small hit game is generated compared to when being controlled to at least a second ball entering state and a second fluctuation time state Advantage is high. That is, even when the second variation time state is realized, that is, even when the small hit game is generated and the game property having many chances of acquiring a profit is realized, the second entering state is the first entering state. Compared to when, the small hit game has a high degree of advantage when it occurs. As described above, not only is simply realized "a game characteristic in which a small hit game is generated depending on whether it is controlled to the second fluctuation time state and there are many chances to gain a profit", but also "the second fluctuation time state Even in this case, it is possible to realize "a game characteristic in which the degree of advantage when the small hit game is generated differs depending on which of the first ball entering state and the second ball entering state. As a result, the interest can be improved more effectively.

  Then, if the third termination condition (special termination condition) is satisfied before being controlled to the second probability state, the second entering state, and the second variation time state and becoming a big hit, the second probability state, the first termination state It was made to be controlled to the ball entering state and the 2nd fluctuation time state. That is, if the third termination condition is established before the big hit after being controlled to the specific high certainty state (the second probability state, the second entering ball state and the second variation time state), the small hitting game is triggered There is a lot of chance to earn a profit and transition to a situation where the degree of advantage when a small hit game is generated is high. Therefore, when the game is controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to provide enjoyment to notice whether the third end condition is established before becoming the big hit and to improve the interest. In particular, when the game is controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game, the probability of becoming a big hit becomes higher than when it is controlled to the first probability state, resulting in a situation that is likely to be a big hit. However, by paying attention to the fact that the third termination condition is met before the big hit in such a situation, a sense of crisis for the big hit before the third termination condition is met You can speak effectively. As a result, for example, it is possible to effectively improve interest as compared to the case where the user feels relieved that the third end condition is satisfied before the big hit.

  (12) When the jackpot is controlled to the first probability state after the end of the big game, the jackpot probability is lower than that when the jackpot is controlled to the second probability state. And, when it is controlled to the 1st probability state after the big hit game end, and when it is controlled to the 2nd ball entry state and the 2nd fluctuation time state, the special game (the symbol of special frequency without becoming big hit) When the fluctuation game is executed, the first probability state, the first entering state, and the first fluctuation time state are controlled. That is, if it becomes difficult to become a big hit by being controlled to the first probability state after the big hit game ends, even if it is controlled to the 2nd ball entry state and the 2nd fluctuation time state, it will not be a big hit and the special number of times When the special game is executed, the second entering state and the second variation time state end, and the first entering state and the first variation time state are controlled. However, when it is controlled to the first probability state after the end of the big hit game and when it is controlled to the second entering state and the second fluctuation time state, it is before the special number of special games are executed. When a big hit becomes a big hit and a big hit game is generated, after the big hit game ends, it is controlled to the second fluctuation time state. That is, even before being controlled to a specific low certainty state (a first probability state, a second entering state, and a second variation time state) after the end of the big hit game, it is before the special number of special games are executed. If the jackpot is hit, the jackpot is controlled to the second fluctuation time state after the jackpot game is over, and is continuously controlled to the second fluctuation time state. In this way, even if a situation where it is difficult to become a big hit by being controlled to a specific low certainty state after the end of the big hit game, it is before the specific number of special games are executed and the specific low certainty state ends. In the case of a big hit, it is possible to create a game that is controlled to the second variation time state after the end of the big hit game, and to improve the interest.

  (13) When controlled to a specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of times is set according to at least one of the gaming state when the big hit becomes and the type of the big hit. For this reason, under the game nature of "focus on whether the number of times a specific result that is not a big hit is reached reaches a predetermined number", let it pay attention to the gaming state and the type of big hit at that time Can improve the interest.

  (14) A special effect design is an effect pattern that has a motif of a star. In addition, the star lamp 52 that performs star lighting effect is an effect device that uses a star as a motif, and is located near the second large winning opening 31. As such, the special effect pattern and the star lamp 52 share what is the motif. For this reason, when the special effect design is derived in the effect game when it is a small hit, it can be reminded that the second large winning opening 31 is opened, and in fact, the game ball to the second large winning opening 31 When the ball enters, the star lamp 52 is turned on and a star lighting effect is executed. As described above, since the special effect pattern and the star lamp 52 have the same motif, the second large winning opening 31 is opened when the special effect pattern is derived in the effect game when the game is a small hit. It can be reminded of. Furthermore, when the game ball enters the second big winning opening 31, the star lamp 52 is turned on and a star lighting effect is executed. As described above, since the special effect pattern and the star lamp 52 have the same motif, “the small hit game is generated after the special effect pattern is derived, and the game ball is sent to the second big winning opening 31. It is possible to effectively enjoy the flow of the game that the star lighting effect is executed by entering the ball, and it is possible to improve the interest.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the game is controlled to the second probability state after the big hit game is over, the game is controlled to the second probability state until the next big hit game is generated (until the next big hit). On the other hand, in the above embodiment, when being controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game, until after the end of the big hit game the number of executions of the special game reaches the high probability upper limit number, or after the end of the big hit game The second probability state may be controlled until a big hit game is generated before the number of executions of has reached the high probability upper limit number. The high probability upper limit number corresponds to a predetermined number. That is, the pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment may be a so-called ST machine. Then, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, when the number of times the special game has been executed reaches the high certainty upper limit number of times after the big hit game is over, it may be controlled to be normally low certainty state. Furthermore, when being controlled to the special advantageous state, if the number of times the special game has been executed reaches the high probability upper limit number after the big hit game is over, it may be controlled to the low probability state.

  When configured as described above, for example, even if the number of times the result of the identification results after being controlled to the specific high certainty state reaches the predetermined number and is controlled to the special advantageous state, the second probability state after the big hit game is over If the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled reaches the high probability upper limit number, it is controlled to the low probability state normally. Therefore, the smaller the number of special games after the game is controlled to the specific high certainty state after the big hit game is over and the number of departures reaches the predetermined number, the more opportunities there are to increase the holding ball thereafter. Therefore, when being controlled to a specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game, the game will be played in anticipation that the number of times of being out sooner reaches a predetermined number. However, even if the number of special games from being controlled to the specific high certainty state to being controlled to the special advantageous state is small, the number of times the special game is executed after being controlled to the second probability state after the big hit game is over If the jackpot is not reached before the high probability upper limit number is reached, the special advantage state is ended and the state is usually controlled to the low probability state. Therefore, after being controlled to the special advantageous state, while expecting to be controlled to the special advantageous state for a long time, the number of times the special game is executed after being controlled to the second probability state after the big hit game is highly probable The game will be played in the hope of becoming a big hit before reaching the upper limit number of times.

  In addition, also when it is controlled to the special advantageous state after the end of the big hit game, similarly, the number of times of execution of the special game after being controlled to the 2nd probability state after the end of the big hit game is the big hit before it reaches the high probability upper limit number. If it does not, the special advantage state also ends and is usually controlled to the low certainty state. Therefore, after being controlled to the special advantageous state after the end of the big hit game, while expecting to be controlled to the special advantageous state for a long time, the execution of the special game after being controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game The game will be played in the hope that the number will be a big hit before reaching the high probability upper limit number.

  According to the above-mentioned gaming machine, it is before the special game of the high probability upper limit number of times (upper limit number of times) is executed after being controlled to the second probability state, the second entering state and the second variation time state, If the third termination condition (special termination condition) is satisfied before the result of the lottery of the means becomes a big hit, the second probability state, the first ball entry state and the second fluctuation time state are controlled. That is, if the third termination condition is satisfied before being controlled to the specific high certainty state and before the special game with the high certainty upper limit is executed and before the big hit, the small hit game is generated It will transition to a situation where there are many opportunities to earn a profit, and a high degree of advantage when a small hit game is generated. Therefore, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game, whether the third termination condition is satisfied before the high probability upper limit number of special games is executed and before the big hit It can provide fun that attracts attention and improve interest. In particular, when the game is controlled to the second probability state after the end of the big hit game, the probability of becoming a big hit becomes higher than when it is controlled to the first probability state, resulting in a situation that is likely to be a big hit. However, in such a situation, the third termination condition is realized by noting that the third termination condition is satisfied before the high probability upper limit number of special games are executed and before the big hit. You can effectively get a sense of crisis about becoming a big hit before the formation of. As a result, for example, it is possible to effectively improve the interest as compared to the case where the user feels relieved that the third end condition is satisfied before the big hit.

  Further, in the specific high certainty state, the specific high certainty is satisfied when the second termination condition is satisfied, which is satisfied when the number of times the special game (design variation game) is executed reaches the “specific number of times more than the predetermined number”. The state may end. That is, the termination condition of the specific high certainty state may have a termination condition that is satisfied when the number of times the special game is executed reaches the "predetermined number of times more than the predetermined number". And when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the 3rd end condition (the number of times that the result of the identification has reached the predetermined number of times) is triggered when the number of times of the out of phase has reached the predetermined number of times When the end condition (a) is satisfied, the specific high certainty state may be ended and controlled to a special advantageous state advantageous to the specific high certainty state. On the other hand, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the specific high certainty state is ended when the second end condition satisfied, which is satisfied when the number of times the special game is executed reaches the specific number, the specific high certainty state It may be controlled to a normally low certainty condition which is not advantageous in comparison with. As a result, attention can be made as to “does the number of times the result of the specific result reaches the predetermined number of times before the number of times of execution of the special game reaches the specific number”, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  When the pachinko gaming machine according to the above embodiment is used as the ST machine, the third termination condition is more than the second termination condition when the special game after being controlled to the specific high certainty state is the special game of the cancellation. May be established with priority. That is, when being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the third end condition is satisfied triggered by the number of times of the out-of-doors reaching the predetermined number of times, and the number of times the special game is executed reaches the specific number of times When the second end condition, which is satisfied with the above-mentioned, is satisfied, the specific high probability state may be ended and controlled to the special advantageous state. As described above, when being controlled to the third gaming state, the end condition established when the number of times the specific result reaches the predetermined number is met, and the number of times the symbol variation game has been executed is The third gaming state may be ended and the second gaming state may be controlled when the ending condition that is met when the specific number of times is reached is met. Thus, while being controlled to the specific high certainty state, the third end condition (the end condition established when the number of times the specific result reaches the predetermined number has been reached) is satisfied, and the second end If the condition (the end condition established when the number of times the symbol variation game has been executed reaches the specific number) is satisfied, the establishment of the third end condition is prioritized. As a result, when controlled to the specific high certainty state, the third end condition is satisfied, and when the second end condition is satisfied, the control is not usually controlled to the low certainty state, and is controlled to the special advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to expect to be controlled in the special advantageous state even in a situation where the number of deviations in the special game for the specific number of times reaches the predetermined number of times due to the deviation.

  ・ The second effect symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined effect symbol combination is a effect symbol that simulates an odd number of effect symbols in all rows, and at least some of the rows have different effect symbols from those in other rows It does not have to be the effect pattern combination that is the effect pattern that imitates. For example, the second effect pattern combination is an effect pattern in which the effect pattern in all the lines simulates an even number, and the effect pattern in at least a part of the lines is an effect pattern imitating a number different from that in the other lines It may be a combination of effects. In addition, for example, the color based on a part of the rendering design out of the rendering design imitating a number may be different from the color based on the other rendering design. Then, the second effect symbol combination is a effect symbol based on the same color of the effect symbols in all the rows, and the effect symbols imitating a number different from the effect symbols in the other rows. It may be an effect pattern combination. For example, among the effect symbols imitating numbers, “3” and “7” are effect symbols based on red, “1” and “5” are effect symbols based on purple, “2” and “4” , "6" and "8" may be a representation pattern based on blue. In this case, for example, the second effect symbol combination may be "337", "511", or "426".

  ・ The second effect symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined effect symbol combination may be configured not to be derived even if it is a effect game when it is a normal low probability state (first gaming state) and is a departure. . That is, when in the normal low certainty state and in the off state, the effect game may be configured to determine the effect symbol combination out of a plurality of types of effect symbol combinations other than the second effect symbol combination. .

  The second effect symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined effect symbol combination may be a effect symbol combination used as a pre-reading effect when the normal low probability state (first gaming state). The prefetching effect is an effect that indicates that the execution of the special game that is a big hit is suspended in the special game in which the execution is suspended, and is also referred to as a preliminary effect. For example, when there is a first special game which is a low probability and is a big hit among the first special games pending execution, there is a first special game pending execution. As compared with the case where the first special game which is a big hit does not exist, the pre-reading effect using the effect symbol combination may be configured to be easily performed. When the pre-read effect using this effect pattern combination is executed, the effect pattern combination used as the pre-read effect in the effect game based on the one or more special games up to the special game which is the trigger of the pre-read effect. May be configured to be derived. Then, a second effect symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined effect symbol combination may be included in the effect symbol combination used also as the pre-reading effect. When configured in this way, when the second effect symbol combination is derived in the effect game in the special advantageous state, it can be informed that a small hit game will be generated, while the execution is suspended. It is possible to give the player a surprise that there may be a special game that becomes a big hit among the special games being played.

  -In the above embodiment, in the case of being controlled to a special advantageous state and in the first mode, when the secondary CPU 41a can identify the out-of-order symbol from the symbol command, the second effect symbol combination is It may be made to determine the production design combination of out of the production design combination of a plurality of kinds except for the omission. That is, when being controlled to the special advantageous state, the second effect symbol combination may not be derived in the effect game when the first mode or the second mode is out of control.

  In the special advantageous state in the above embodiment, only one of the first mode and the second mode may be controlled. For example, when only the first mode is configured to be controllable, in the effect game in the special advantageous state and the small hit, the special effect design is always derived (stopped display). On the other hand, when only the second mode is configured to be controllable, in the effect game in the special advantageous state and the small hit, the second effect symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined effect symbol combination is always derived (stop display) It will be done. Also, for example, the first mode (or the second mode) is set until the special game is controlled a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) after being controlled to the special advantageous state, and thereafter the second mode (the second mode) Alternatively, it may be configured to be in the first mode). That is, after being controlled to the special advantageous state, the first mode (or the second mode) may be set within a predetermined period, and the second mode (or the first mode) may be set outside the predetermined period. In addition, the mode may be selectable from the first mode and the second mode only during the occurrence of the first big hit game controlled to a special advantageous state after the big hit game is over. In this case, for example, when the specific high probability state ends and is controlled to the special advantageous state, it may be configured to be controlled to one of the first mode and the second mode, The mode may not be selectable.

  The special effect design imitates numbers in a predetermined row (for example, middle row) of all the rows only when the special effect state is controlled and only when the first mode is controlled. You may comprise so that it may be changed and displayed with a production | presentation pattern. In addition, the special effect design does not have to be a stop effect pattern that is stopped and displayed in a part of the entire rows. For example, when the special effect design is derived as a small hit, the special effect in all the rows A symbol may be derived. In addition, the special effect design may be changed, and it may not be an effect design having a star as a motif.

  In the above embodiment, when controlled to any one of the special advantageous state, the specific low certainty state and the specific high certainty state, the effect game based on the first special game may be configured to be executed. In the above-described embodiment, the effect game based on the second special game may be executed when any one of the normal low certainty state and the normal high certainty state is controlled. For example, when the effect game based on the first special game and the effect game based on the second special game are executed, each effect game may be separately executed in different display areas of the effect display device 25. Alternatively, each effect game may be separately executed on different display devices.

  The predetermined number of times may differ depending on at least one of the type of the big hit and the gaming state when the big hit occurs, but may be configured so that the predetermined number of times may differ only in the type of big hit Alternatively, the predetermined number of times may be different only in the gaming state when a big hit occurs. In addition, in a situation where at least one of the type of big hit and the gaming state when the big hit is different, the predetermined number may be configured to be always different, or the same may be the same if the predetermined number is different. In some cases, it may be configured.

  ・ In the first special symbol start process, as in the second special symbol start process, when the big hit lottery did not win the big hit, the small hit lottery is performed, and the small hit lottery is performed for the small hit When winning, a small hit game may be generated after the small hit symbol is derived in the first special game. At this time, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery in the first special symbol start processing may be different from the probability of winning in a small hit in the small hit lottery in the second special symbol start processing. For example, the probability of winning a small hit in a small hit lottery in the second special symbol start process may be higher than the probability of winning a small hit in a small hit lottery in the first special symbol start process.

  -In the specific end frequency notification effect, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means has become the specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state (the second probability state, the second entering state and the second fluctuation time state), Alternatively, one of the remaining number of times that the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specific result reaches a predetermined number after being controlled to the third gaming state may be notified. For example, in the specific end frequency notification effect as the notification effect, the remaining number of times until the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes a specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state reaches the predetermined number is notified directly It may be configured to be For example, when the number of remaining times until the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specified result reaches the predetermined number of times after being controlled to the third gaming state is 26 times, the character of "remaining 26 times" (character information ) May be displayed, and the specific end number notification effect may be performed.

  ・ The effect mode of the specific end number notification effect as the notification effect may be changed, for example, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state, and the third game After being controlled to the state, at least one of the remaining times until the number of times when the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the specified result may reach a predetermined number may be suggested. For example, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes a specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state, and the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes a specific result after being controlled to the third gaming state A number of images according to at least one of the remaining times until reaching the predetermined number may be displayed on the effect display device 25. In this case, from the image displayed on the effect display device 25, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the identification result after being controlled to the third gaming state, and the lottery means after being controlled to the third gaming state It is possible to specify at least one of the remaining number of times until the number of times the result of the lottery by the result of the drawing becomes the specific result reaches the predetermined number. As described above, the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the identification result after being controlled to the third gaming state, and the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the identification result after being controlled to the third gaming state Alternatively, at least one of the remaining number of times until the predetermined number of times is reached may be suggested. In addition, it is not necessary to execute the specific end number notification effect. For example, from the number of enemy images Ca2 displayed on the effect display device 25, specify the remaining number of times until the number of times the result of the lottery by the lottery means becomes the identification result reaches the predetermined number after being controlled to the third gaming state Since it is possible, it can be said that the effect that the enemy image Ca2 is displayed corresponds to the notification effect.

  In the above embodiment, the gaming state may be controlled to be controlled to the first probability state, the second variation time state, and the first ball entering state. When controlled to the first probability state, the second variation time state and the first entering ball state, it is less likely to be a big hit than the second probability state, the second variation time state and the first entering ball state, Even if the big hit game is not triggered, the situation where it is possible to increase the number of balls becomes easy to continue. That is, despite being in the first probability state, the gaming state controlled to the first probability state, the second variation time state and the first ball entry state is the second probability state, the second variation time state and the first This is more advantageous than the gaming state controlled to the ball entering state.

  In the embodiment, the specific number of times may be equal to the predetermined number of times, or may be smaller than the predetermined number of times. In the case where the specific number of times is smaller than the predetermined number of times, it is preferable that the number of times the specific result is obtained in one special game may be two or more. For example, the specific result may be that one of the first special game and the second special game is ended while the other special game is being executed.

  -Even when the first special game is a big hit when it is controlled to any of the gaming states among the specific low certainty state, the specific high certainty state and the special advantageous state, even during the execution of the second special game The execution of the effect game based on the second special game may be stopped, and a predetermined big hit notification effect may be executed in the effect display device 25. The predetermined jackpot notification effect may be, for example, an effect in which an image including characters (character information) such as “during a big chance” is displayed on the effect display device 25. When configured as described above, control may be performed as described below. For example, when the jackpot fluctuation pattern is designated by the first fluctuation pattern designation command while being controlled to any one of the specific low certainty state, the specific high certainty state, and the special advantageous state, the sub CPU 41a receives the predetermined big hit. The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the notification effect is performed. At this time, when the effect game based on the second special game is performed, the sub CPU 41a stops the execution of the effect game.

  Similarly, when the second special game is a big hit when it is controlled to the normal low probability state or the normal high probability state, the effect game based on the first special game even while the first special game is being executed. In the effect display device 25, a predetermined big hit notification effect may be executed. In such a configuration, for example, when the jackpot fluctuation pattern is designated by the second fluctuation pattern designation command when being controlled to the normal low certainty state or the normal high certainty state, the sub CPU 41a notifies a predetermined big hit The effect display device 25 is controlled so that the effect is executed. At this time, when the effect game based on the first special game is executed, the secondary CPU 41a stops the execution of the effect game.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when a jackpot symbol is derived in the other special game during execution of one of the first special game and the second special game, the one special game is interrupted, and the big hit is performed. After the end of the game, the execution of the one special game which has been suspended may be resumed. Similarly, when a small hit symbol is derived in the other special game during execution of one of the first special game and the second special game, the one special game is interrupted and the small hit game is ended. The execution of the one special game which has been interrupted may be resumed later.

  -In the above embodiment, when a losing symbol is derived in the other special game during execution of one of the first special game and the second special game, the losing symbol is derived in the one special game, The one special game may be configured to end. In addition, when a symbol out of the other special game is derived during execution of one of the first special game and the second special game, the one special game is interrupted, and after the other special game is over. After the fluctuation interval of has elapsed, the execution of the one special game which has been suspended may be resumed.

  -When in the second fluctuation time state, only the fluctuation time of the second special game of the first special game and the second special game becomes shorter (or is likely to be shorter than that in the first fluctuation time state) ) May be configured. At this time, for example, when in the second fluctuation time state, the fluctuation time of the first special game is configured to be longer (or more likely to be longer) than in the first fluctuation time state. It is also good.

  In the right side region R2a, the gate 33 is downstream of some or all of the ball entrances of the second starting opening 27, the first large winning opening 29, the second large winning opening 31, and the second general winning opening 35. It may be arranged. For example, the gate 33 may be disposed downstream of the second start opening 27 or may be disposed downstream of the second general winning opening 35. In addition, in the right side region R2a, the first large winning opening 29 is disposed downstream of the ball entrance of a part or all of the second starting opening 27, the second large winning opening 31, and the second general winning opening 35. May be In addition, the second large winning opening 31 opened when the small hit game is generated may be disposed more upstream than the first large winning opening 29 opened when the large hit game is generated. In addition, the first big winning opening 29 may be disposed in the passage member 37. For example, the entrance of the flow-down passage 39 in the order of the first big winning opening 29, the second starting opening 27, and the second large winning opening 31. You may arrange so that the game ball which entered from 39a may be induced.

  The big winning opening opened when the big hit game is generated may be the same as the big winning opening opened when the small hit game is generated. The number of big winning openings may be one. In addition, when a big hit game based on some types of big hit games is generated, it may be configured to open the big winning opening that is opened when a small hit game is generated. Similarly, when a small hit game based on some types of small hit games is generated, the big winning opening that is opened when the big hit game is generated may be opened.

  -After the jackpot symbol is derived in the special game, the jackpot game may be generated without causing the game ball to enter the gate 33. That is, you may be comprised so that it may not be controlled by the occurrence waiting state of a big hit game. Also, after the small hit symbol is derived in the special game, as in the case where the big hit symbol is derived in the special game, the small hit game is generated upon the entry of the game ball to the gate 33. You may

  In the above embodiment, the big hit game is generated when the game ball enters the gate 33 in the waiting state for the occurrence of the big hit game, but the game ball to the entrance different from the gate 33 It may constitute so that a big hit game may be generated triggered by having entered the ball. The ball entrance different from the gate 33 may be a ball entrance where the payout condition of the winning ball is satisfied when the game ball is entered, or the special game or the like if the payout condition of the winning ball is not satisfied. There may be an entrance where the start condition of a game such as a normal game does not hold.

  -The specified result may be a small hit, not a fall. In addition, the result of the lottery by lottery means is set as a big hit, a small hit and a drop, and a plurality of results other than a big hit is made a small hit and a drop, but a part of the lost pattern is selected among the dropped symbols determined as a special symbol. It may be determined as a specific result, and in this case, it may not be a pachinko gaming machine that performs a small hit lottery. For example, the first out pattern and the second out pattern are configured to be determined out of a plurality of types of out pattern including the first out pattern, and the first out pattern is determined the number of times has reached a predetermined number of times (3) The end condition may be established. In addition, since the main CPU 40a determines the removal symbol, in the above-mentioned example, when the first removal symbol is determined, it can be said to correspond to the case where the result of the lottery by the lottery means is the specific result. Similarly, it may be considered as a "specific result" that a part of the small hit symbols among the small hit symbols determined as the special symbols are determined. For example, the third end condition may be established when the number of times the first small hit symbol is determined reaches a predetermined number. Since the main CPU 40a determines the small hit symbol, in the above example, when the first small hit symbol is determined, it can be said that it corresponds to the case where the result of the lottery by the lottery means is the specific result. As described above, the specific result may be part of a plurality of results excluding the big hit among the results of the lottery performed by the main CPU 40a. In addition to the above, for example, it is determined that a partial variation pattern is determined among small hitting variation patterns and removal variation patterns as a specific result, for example, the number of times a specific removal variation pattern is determined reaches a predetermined number of times The third termination condition may be established in the case where

  The movable body effect as the special effect does not have to be the effect using the movable body 50, and the effect mode may be changed. For example, the special effect may be performed in an effect mode in which the star lamp 52 emits light. In addition, the special effect may be performed in an effect mode in which a predetermined image is displayed on the effect display device 25. Also, the special effect may be performed in an effect mode in which a predetermined sound is output from the speaker 18. Also, the special effect is to be executed when the second special game in the case of a small hit in the special advantageous state (the second gaming state) is continuously executed a predetermined number of times (for example, five times) or more. You may configure it. In addition, it is not necessary to execute special effects. The special rendition may be a rendition to be executed as a big hit advance rendition when normally in a low certainty state. For example, when the special effect is performed during the execution of the special game, the jackpot expectation may be increased as compared with the case where the special effect is not performed.

  The star lighting effect as the predetermined effect may not be the effect using the star lamp 52, and the effect mode may be changed. For example, the predetermined effect may be performed in an effect mode in which the movable body 50 operates. In addition, the predetermined effect may be executed in an effect mode in which a predetermined image is displayed on the effect display device 25. Further, the predetermined effect may be performed in an effect mode in which a predetermined sound is output from the speaker 18. In addition, the predetermined effect may be configured to be executed when a predetermined number (for example, two) or more game balls enter in one small hit game. Further, the predetermined effect may not be performed. The predetermined effect does not have to be an effect to be executed as a big hit advance effect when in the normal low certainty state.

  ・ The type of jackpot may be changed. For example, the type of jackpot may be the second jackpot to the fourth jackpot except for the first jackpot. That is, it may not be controlled to the special advantageous state without being controlled to the specific high certainty state after the end of the big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, when controlled to at least the first ball entering state and the second fluctuating time state, it is smaller than when controlled to at least the second ball entering state and the second fluctuating time state The degree of advantage when the hit game is generated may not be high. For example, when at least the first ball entering state and the second fluctuation time state are controlled, and at least the second ball entering state and the second fluctuation time state are controlled, a small hit game is generated The degree of advantage may be the same.

  The number of gaming balls consumed (the number of launching gaming balls) in the above embodiment is the number of gaming balls launched to the gaming area 21 and can be said to be the number of effective spheres. Further, the number of game balls to be paid out in the above embodiment is the number of game balls to be paid out as a winning ball, and can be said to be the number of winning balls. The number of winning balls may be the number of winning balls when entering all winning openings, for example, the number of winning balls excluding winning balls to be paid out upon entering the general winning openings 34, 35, for example. It may be
